Robin Perrie

Robin is one of The Sun’s longest-serving and most experienced reporters having joined the paper in 1995 and in the near three decades since has reported on major global news stories from around the world. He is an award-winning journalist who has been to Ukraine three times since Russia invaded in 2022, sending back a string of exclusive despatches to showcase how the brave local population refuse to be beaten by Vladimir Putin. He also reported from Israel following the October 7 massacre by Hamas and was at the Gaza border when the IDF launched the ground invasion. Robin’s report focussing on the child hostages taken by the terrorists went viral around the world. He has also done a series of reports from across Europe and Africa getting to the heart of the seemingly unsolvable migrant crisis, speaking to young men on the coast of Tunisia as they were about to risk their lives to board small boats in the hope of eventually making it to the  UK. And in Rwanda, he was one of the few journalists given access to Hope House, the £20m migrant hostel which the last Government planned to send migrants to but which now lies empty after the scheme was scrapped. Robin reported from the Qatar World Cup in 2022, the Euros in Germany and the Paris Olympics where he conducted water tests in the Seine to highlight concerns over the safety of swimmers competing in the notoriously polluted river. He also went on patrol with the French army in the biggest peacetime mobilisation the country has ever known in a bid to foil terrorists planning to target the Games. A law graduate from Leeds University, Robin spent years reporting on the Yorkshire Ripper, eventually turning his string of exclusives into a book, I’m The Yorkshire Ripper. Based on hundreds of letters from Peter Sutcliffe and transcripts of phone conversations and face-to-face meetings with him, the book is the definitive life and times story of one of Britain’s most notorious serial killers. When the Yorkshire Ripper died in 2020 Robin authored a supplement about his life which won Special Supplement of the Year in the Society of Editors Press Awards. Robin has also covered all of the major royal stories in recent years including the death of the Queen, her funeral and the King’s coronation. He has also appeared on a string of true crime documentaries covering cases such as the hunt for Raoul Moat and Professor David Wilson’s Crime Files on the BBC featured Robin’s own exclusive expose of a bogus serial killer expert.
