Broadcaster says it is conducting full investigation after also suspending Fox
Wootton, 40, is already facing investigations by both MailOnline,, and his former employers at News UK over these historical claims. As a result he is now being investigated by three separate media groups over a variety of issues.
“We need powerful, strong amazing women who make great points for themselves. We don’t need these sort of feminist 4.0. They’re pathetic and embarrassing. Who’d want to shag that?”Evans, who posted the clip of the segment on X – the social media site formerly known as Twitter – after it aired, said the comments had made her feel “physically sick”.
Afterwards, following a social media backlash, Wootton issued an apology and insisted he was laughing only out of shock at Fox’s comments. Fox, 45, then turned his fire on Wootton, suggesting his apology and justification for the laughter were not sincere. The media regulator, Ofcom, which has struggled to deal with GB News pushing the boundaries of British TV regulation, said it was urgently looking into a large number of complaints about Fox’s comments.
Wootton and Fox’s comments could also cause a headache for Paul Marshall, the hedge fund billionaire who provides much of the financial backing for GB News.
