Ben Leo fumes ‘I’m off’ and jumps out of seat as GB News moment leaves him dismayed
Watch the moment GB News star Ben Leo is left dismayed after watching back his and Nana Akua’s rendition of God Save the King.
Upon being shown the footage, a disgruntled Ben jumps out of his seat declaring “I’m off” in a hilarious moment.
“Is that what we look like on air?”, he asks.
He continues: “Tweedle dum and tweedle dee, is that us? I’m off.”
The moment happened during a discussion about new England manager Thomas Tuchel and whether he will be singing the national anthem at his first game.
Tuchel is the first German manager to take charge of the national team and just the second foreigner after Fabio Capello.

Nana Akua said the manager of the country’s national team should not only have to sing the national anthem, they should also be English.
She said: “Of course. He’s representing England, of course he should sing it.”
Speaking about English managers taking the job, Ben Leo commented: “I would say the pool is quite small.
“Although you could have had the likes of Eddie Howe, Newcastle manager, very talented guy.
“Graham Potter is very good as well.”
Nana commented: “I actually think you should have an English manager and encourage the talented English manager to manage the country’s team.”
Tuchel went about endearing himself to England fans today in his press conference after announcing his first squad by refusing to answer a German reporter’s question in their native tongue, despite being asked to do so.
She asked: “I am asking the question in English. Your goal is to bring it [football] home and I wonder if what you’ve learned since January that can help you on that mission?
“If you could answer that in English and in German, I will waive my second question.”
A grinning Tuchel responded: “I would like to do it [my response] in English. Out of respect for where we are and for the others [reporters].”
