The former kickboxer, Big Brother candidate and self-styled misogynist has gained notoriety online for a number of comments about women.

Many are thought to be influenced by Tate, who has suggested assault victims "bear some responsibility" for their crimes, an incident for which he was banned from Twitter. A spokesperson for the Department for Education said: “All children deserve to grow up in a safe environment, and we expect schools to take immediate action against sexual misconduct or harassment.”They added that the department would be giving “further guidance on how schools can create a culture of respectful relationships, and teach effectively about sexual harassment, sexual violence and stamping out violence against women and girls”.
