GB News has \u2018formally suspended\u2019 Laurence Fox after he made \u2018totally unacceptable\u2019 comments about a female journalist on Dan Wooton\u2019s show.<\/p>\n

On Dan Wootton\u2019s show on Tuesday evening, Fox made a series of remarks about Ava Evans, known as Ava Santina on X, formerly Twitter, including asking \u2018Who would want to shag that?\u2019.<\/p>\n

The broadcaster later launched an investigation, branding Fox\u2019s comments \u2018totally unacceptable\u2019 and adding: \u2018What he said does not reflect our values and we apologise unreservedly for the comments and the offence they have caused.\u2019<\/p>\n

In their latest statement, on Wednesday morning, GB News announced it had taken further measures against Fox and suspended the former actor with immediate effect while their probe continues.<\/p>\n

The statement, posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, reads: \u2018GB News has formally suspended Laurence Fox while we continue our investigation into comments he made on the channel last night. <\/p>\n

\u2018Mr Fox\u2019s suspension is effective immediately and he has been taken off air. <\/p>\n
