Laurence Fox suspended by GB News over comments on Dan Wootton show

Laurence Fox has been formally suspended by GB News and taken off air immediately following comments he made on GB News about a female journalist which have been described as ‘unacceptable, unjustifiable and indefensible’. Speaking on Tuesday night during an appearance on Dan Wootton’s show, 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?’ GB News said on Wednesday morning in a statement on X, formerly Twitter: ‘GB News has formally suspended Laurence Fox while we continue our investigation into comments he made on the channel last night.’
