Dan Wootton has been suspended from GB News following remarks made by Laurence Fox on the broadcaster’s show about a female journalist which have been described as “unacceptable, unjustifiable and indefensible”.
Speaking on Tuesday during an appearance on Dan Wootton Tonight, actor-turned-politician Fox made a series of remarks about Ava Evans, the political correspondent for online news site Joe, including asking: “Who would want to shag that?” In a statement, the channel said: “GB News has suspended Dan Wootton following comments made on his programme by Laurence Fox last night. “This follows our decision earlier today to formally suspend Mr Fox.
