A GB News viewer has admitted she is "scared for her life" as the UK has hit another record number of illegal migrants entering the country.
Some 250 migrants crossed the Channel on Good Friday alone, taking the total for the past week to 2,122, while for the year so far, 9,350 have now crossed from France.
Defending the Government's efforts to tackle the surging migrant numbers, a spokesman assured they want to "end dangerous small boat crossings which threaten lives and undermine our border security".
Discussing the issue on GB News, 24-year-old viewer Georgina admitted she is "scared for her life" and fears "walking home alone", with the increase of violence against women committed by foreign nationals.

Georgina told host Patrick Christys: "I feel very strongly about this. I walk home at night and everything, and I just want to know when this is all going to come to an end because I am actually scared for my life.
"I haven't been threatened, personally, but it's hearing everything on the news about what women are going through, with all the migrants and everything like that. I have to keep looking back when I'm walking home because it gets to the point where I just don't feel safe."
When asked by Patrick if she feels less safe now than she did ten years ago, Georgina agreed, admitting: "Yeah, 100 per cent. When I was 18, I could just walk straight home from the train station an hour away.
"Now I live 35 minutes from my job and I'm just constantly looking behind, looking over my shoulder."

More than 2,000 migrants have arrived in the UK in a record week for crossings
GB NewsGeorgina was then pressed by Labour MP Barry Gardiner, who suggested that her fear may be due to the extensive reporting of violence against women, as well as the surge in migrant numbers entering Britain.
Georgina clarified that her fears are as a result of both factors, but mainly immigrants coming into Britain who uphold a "different culture" towards women.
She told GB News: "I'd say it's more a bit of a both, but mostly the immigrants coming over. Women are treated differently in different cultures."
When asked what the policing is like where she lives in Essex, Georgina claimed that it is simply "questionable".

GB News provisional figures have revealed the cumulative number of migrant arrivals in 2025 currently sits at 9,237.
That number was around 42 per cent higher than at the same point last year - and a huge 81 per cent higher than at the same stage in 2023. More arrivals have been recorded in January to April in 2025 than in the equivalent four-month period in any year since the small boat crisis began in 2018.
In a statement, a Home Office spokesman said: "We all want to end dangerous small boat crossings, which threaten lives and undermine our border security.
"That's why this government is investing in border security, increasing returns to their highest levels for more than half a decade, and imposing a major crackdown on illegal working to end the false promise of jobs, used by gangs to sell spaces on boats."
