Will Kingston GB News: Age, Wife, Career & Bio (2026)
The Australian who arrived as a guest voice on one weekend panel now appears on four GB News slots and helps run a polling firm.
Will Kingston is an Australian broadcaster and political commentator based in London. He co-hosts The Saturday Five on GB News, hosts the podcast Fire at Will for The Spectator Australia, and has 54,200 followers on X. He has no Wikipedia page.
Most profiles of him are a year out of date, and several are wrong in the same way: they describe a man who does one show. His own LinkedIn lists four GB News slots, and his role there is now the smaller half of what he does. The bigger change is that he has moved from commenting on public opinion to measuring it.

Where is Will Kingston on GB News?
He appears in three separate slots. The Saturday Five at 6pm on Saturdays, Patrick Christys Tonight at 9pm on Tuesdays, and Breakfast at 6am on Thursdays. That listing comes from his own LinkedIn profile, and it is the single most out-of-date fact on every other page about him.
The Saturday Five remains the show he is identified with. Five contributors work through the week in politics and culture, and the format includes a segment called the Saturday Scrap, where viewers vote on what the panel should argue about. A recent line-up put Kingston alongside Dr Renee, Darren Grimes, Tre Lowe and Cai Wilshaw.
He is the Australian voice in a British panel show, which is unusual enough that the nationality question drives a large share of the searches on his name. British current affairs television generally hires British panellists.
Fire at Will: the podcast that built the name
Fire at Will is a long-form interview podcast produced by The Spectator Australia, published on YouTube and the usual platforms under the tagline “a safe space for dangerous conversations”. The guest list is the argument for taking it seriously.
Tony Abbott, the former Australian prime minister, came on to discuss his book Australia: A History. Dave Rubin joined after the assassination of Charlie Kirk to talk about free speech and political violence. James Lindsay came on to argue that the woke left has produced a woke right. James Price, formerly chief of staff to the Chancellor of the Exchequer and to the chairman of the Conservative Party, discussed how a future government would have to handle the civil service. Andrew Gold of the Heretics podcast, Connor Tomlinson, and New Culture Forum host Emma Trimble have all appeared.
Here is a detail nobody else has picked up. The podcast feed was not always called Fire at Will. It ran under the name Australiana before the rebrand, and several podcast directories still list the old title in their URLs. That fits the trajectory of the show, which started with Australian politics and drifted towards British ones as he did.
One Apple Podcasts reviewer put the consequence bluntly, complaining that the show has become very UK centric. It is an Australian magazine’s podcast, hosted by an Australian, and part of its Australian audience thinks it has stopped being about them.
Schedule note. His X profile says new episodes on Wednesday and Friday at 6pm. His Substack says Friday only. Apple lists the show as updated weekly. The likeliest reading is that it moved from twice a week to once, and the older profile was not updated, but nobody has stated this publicly.
Adam Smith Insights: the part of his career nobody covers
This is the newest thing about him and the least reported.
According to his own LinkedIn, Kingston has joined the partnership at Adam Smith Insights, the polling and data organisation attached to the Adam Smith Institute. The firm describes itself as combining opinion research with an assessment of what is economically and politically feasible, and its stated purpose is to show which ideas can be paid for, legislated and sold to voters.
It is a real operation with a real output. Its polls run nationally representative samples with published methodology, weighting and margins of error. One found that only 5% of Britons believe their taxes are well spent. Another, part of a series on 18 to 30 year olds, found that a third of that group said they would prefer an authoritarian system led by a decisive figure over the current democratic one, against 48% who backed democracy as it stands.
That second number is the one worth pausing on, because it explains the career move. A commentator argues that the political class is out of step with the public. A pollster produces the evidence for it. Kingston has now done both, and the second job supplies material for the first.
Worth stating plainly: the Adam Smith Institute is a free-market think tank, described by media rating organisations as right-of-centre, and its polling has been commissioned by outside clients including British American Tobacco. That does not make the numbers wrong. It does mean the framing of the questions comes from somewhere, as it does with every pollster.
Before broadcasting: consulting, not journalism
He did not come up through a newsroom, which is why no institution wrote his biography.
From 2021 to 2023 he worked as an independent consultant in Australia through Kingdom CX, advising financial services organisations on customer and brand strategy, including Insurance Australia Group. He then moved to the United Kingdom as a principal at Cortico-X and held a product role in customer experience management at TELUS Digital.
Some profiles describe his background as law and merchant banking instead. Those pages cite nothing, and the consulting record is the better documented of the two.
Customer experience consulting to political broadcasting is not a standard route, and it explains something about the podcast. A Fire at Will episode is structured more like a long client interview than a news package: one guest, one subject, followed all the way down.
Education
He attended Sydney Church of England Grammar School, known as SHORE, where he played in the 1st XV and competed in the Combined GPS 1sts debating team. Rugby and competitive debating, which between them cover most of what he does now.
He went on to the University of Sydney, lived at St Paul’s College, and took a Bachelor of Economic and Social Sciences.
Will Kingston’s age, wife and net worth
None of it is confirmed, and that is the honest answer to the three most searched questions about him.
His age is not published anywhere reliable. No date of birth, no year, and the aggregator sites claiming a figure do not agree with each other.
On his marital status, one biography site states flatly that he is married, then admits it has no name, no age and no profession for the wife, and offers no source for the claim. The same page names his mother and cites nothing. Family details on those sites are frequently transplanted from other people who share a surname.
Net worth is the same story with a currency symbol attached. He earns from a broadcasting contract, a podcast, television work in two countries and a partnership in a polling firm. None of those publish figures, and no filing exists that would show earnings from any of them. Every number online is invented.
There is one more disagreement worth recording. His own X profile says London. Some media profiles describe him as based in New York. The X profile is written by him and his podcast times are given in British time, but nobody has clarified it publicly.
