Sky News canceled Freya Fires Up after a controversial, unvetted interview with a far-right guest.

Sky News canceled its short-lived show Freya Fires Up after a controversial live interview on September 21, 2025, with Ryan Williams, a 33-year-old former reality TV contestant known for anti-Islamic rhetoric. During the broadcast, Williams wore bacon rashers and made inflammatory remarks, prompting Sky News to cut the feed after one minute. The network confirmed it had not properly vetted the guest and took immediate action, removing the segment from digital platforms. Host Freya Leach, 22, apologized on The Late Debate over 24 hours later. The show, which aired only six episodes, was pulled from Sky’s lineup on September 28, with the network conducting an internal review and implementing changes. Leach will continue as co-host of The Late Debate. The incident drew attention from far-right online communities and figures linked to MAGA and Tommy Robinson.
