GB News said it has launched an investigation into what it describes as \u201ctotally unacceptable\u201d comments made by Laurence Fox about a female journalist.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fox, leader of the Reclaim Party,\u00a0 made a string of vile misogynistic\u00a0remarks about Ava Evans, the political correspondent for online news site Joe, during an episode of Dan Wootton Tonight on Tuesday (September 26).\u00a0 Fox, 45, suggested that no\u00a0 “self-respecting man” would “like to climb into bed with that woman, ever”.<\/p>\n
He went on to suggest that only a “cucked little incel” would be interested in Ms Evans.\u00a0 Fox added: “That little woman has been fed, spoon-fed, oppression, day after day after day after day”.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a message to her on X, Wootton said: \u201cI think you\u2019re brilliant\u2026 I apologise for what was said during the course of my show and should have done this immediately on air.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not what our channel is about.\u201d<\/p>\n In a statement posted to X, GB News said: \u201cComments made tonight on GB News by Laurence Fox were totally unacceptable. It read: “What he said does not reflect our values and we apologise unreservedly for the comments and the offence they have caused.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have launched an investigation and will be apologising to the individual involved.\u201d<\/p>\n Ms Evans’ tweet has garnered hundreds of supportive comments. Left-wing journalist Own Jones said: “All my love and solidarity – if Ofcom don\u2019t take action against this nauseating unapologetic misogyny they should just pack up and shut themselves down.”<\/p>\n Fox and Ofcom have been approached for comment.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/139\/590x\/secondary\/Laurence-Fox-4980286.jpg?r=1695773921080\")
