GB News presenter Laurence Fox has said he is sorry for “demeaning” political journalist Ava Evans.

The actor-turned-politician made a series of remarks about Ms Evans, which included asking “who would want to shag that?” during a discussion on Dan Wootton Tonight on Tuesday.

Both Fox and Wootton were suspended by GB News amid an internal investigation and a probe by regulator Ofcom, which received around 7,300 complaints about the episode.

Fox said he was angry with Ms Evans over comments she made on a BBC debate around male suicide and alleged she had a “dislike of men in general”, but apologised for “demeaning her”.
