Laurence Fox launched a shocking and offensive attack on a female journalist during a live appearance on GB News on Tuesday evening (26 September).

Fox made a series of remarks about Ava Evans, the political correspondent for online news site Joe, which included describing her as a “little woman” during an episode of Dan Wootton Tonight.

On social media site X, Ms Evans shared the footage and said it made her feel “physically sick”.

In a statement posted to X, GB News said: “Comments made tonight on GB News by Laurence Fox were totally unacceptable.

“What he said does not reflect our values and we apologise unreservedly for the comments and the offence they have caused. We have launched an investigation and will be apologising to the individual involved.”
