Patrick Christys and Emily Carver have thanked GB News viewers for their support after opening up on Patrick's battle with alcoholism.
The GB News star said the response has been "overwhelming" while Emily Carver urged anyone who needs help to reach out.
“GB News viewers and listeners came through in their droves”, he said.
“So I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, it really did mean the world to me. So thank you very much.”
Patrick said to Stephen Dixon and Anne Diamond on Saturday: "I was right on the brink. I was waking up in the mornings, throwing up blood, couldn't go an hour without a drink. I was probably only a couple of weeks away from losing my job here. I was right on the brink, unfortunately, but understandably.
"Of course, with my personal relationship with Emily, the place that I was living, I was about to have have lost that. But I got it just in that nick of time.

And that guilt actually that you feel does actually then end up feeding your addiction because you feel as though you know you're constantly lying, constantly hiding something.
"You've got this double life. Firstly, it's exhausting because you have two full time jobs managing and hiding your addiction and whatever it is you actually do for a living. And that those things run parallel with each other and it is completely knackering."
