EU elections 2019: Who are Wales' newly-elected MEPs?

The four winning candidates have been named to represent Wales in the European Parliament.

However, it remains to be seen if they will take their seats and how long they will sit, depending on how Brexit goes.

So who are the people Wales voted to represent them in Brussels?

Nathan Gill was elected to represent UKIP as a Welsh MEP in 2014, later winning election to the Welsh Assembly in 2016.

He quit the assembly following a power struggle within the UKIP group, but remained a UKIP MEP.

Mr Gill is politically close to Nigel Farage and joined his new Brexit Party when it was formed earlier this year.
