Laurence Fox throws Dan Wootton underneath bus after GB News host’s ‘faux apology’

Laurence Fox has thrown fellow GB News host Dan Wootton “under the bus” following his “revolting” on-air rant this week, social media customers have stated.

Former actor Mr Fox posted a textual content trade between the 2 males showing to point out Mr Wootton joking concerning the controversial second, for which he has since apologised.

GB News is presently navigating the fallout from a “misogynistic” speech Mr Fox delivered on the host’s programme directed at JOE political correspondent Ava Evans which left the journalist feeling “physically sick”.

TV bosses suspended the commentator for his “inappropriate” feedback questioning “who would ever climb into bed” with the journalist after huge public backlash.

Just hours later Mr Wootton was also sanctioned. The assertion from GB News stated: “GB News has suspended Dan Wootton following comments made on his programme by Laurence Fox last night.

“This follows our decision earlier today to formally suspend Mr Fox. We are conducting a full investigation.”

Posting on social media platform X, previously often known as Twitter, Mr Fox posted a textual content from Mr Wootton speaking about viewers “freaking out in the gallery”.

The textual content trade, initiated by Mr Fox, begins with him telling the presenter that “making you giggle is my weekly joy”, adopted by two laughing emojis.

Mr Wootton responded with three similar emojis and replied: “You can imagine them freaking out in the gallery!”

The final message within the dialog exhibits Mr Fox saying it was “so much fun”.

The trade has led individuals to assert he was throwing Mr Wootton “under the bus” after the GB News flagship presenter apologised for the commentator’s outburst.

X consumer Stuart stated: “When you’re thrown under the bus, pull them under with you.”

Another, Marcio Delgado, added: “Not sure how Wootton will crawl from under that bus.”

And Seanregal stated: “Gbeebies imploding, such loyalty shown, who can throw who under the bus first.”

SirGorden accused Dan Wootton of issuing a “fake apology” to Ms Evans, including: “You were sat smiling whilst the absolute helmet was ranting away on GB News. Pathetic.”

Mr Wootton and GB News have apologised for the Tuesday night time outburst, with the presenter saying he needed to “reiterate my regret over last night’s exchange” in an announcement.

He added: “Having looked at the footage, I can see how inappropriate my reaction to his totally unacceptable remarks appears to be and want to be clear that I was in no way amused by the comments.”

In an announcement following the interview, GB News stated: “GB News has formally suspended Laurence Fox while we continue our investigation into comments he made on the channel last night.

“Mr Fox’s suspension is efficient instantly and he has been taken off air. We shall be apologising formally to Ms Evans right now.”

But Mr Fox has refused to apologise, and doubled down on his statement in a post on the social media platform this morning.

He said he stands by “each phrase of what I stated”, and reiterated his earlier feedback about Ms Evans.
