Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson sacked by GB News
Laurence Fox has been sacked by Gb News after an outcry about comments he made on air about a female journalist.
The former actor and political activist sparked controversy last week when he asked what " self-respecting man" would " climb into bed" with Ava Evans.
Fox hosted a weekly show on the channel and made the comments while appearing as a contributor on Dan Wootton 's show.
Fellow host Calvin Robinson , who was suspended after voicing support for Fox and Wootton, has also been fired.
More Than 8,800 people complained about Fox's remarks to media regulator Ofcom, which has launched an investigation.
'The home of cancel culture'In a video last Thursday, Fox apologised for the language he used and predicted his sacking, which He Said would open Gb News up to " complete destruction".
" Gb News had one opportunity and that opportunity was to stand up and defend free speech, which they haven't done, " He Said .
" So I think now as they brand themselves the home of free speech, they're actually the home of cancel culture. "
Last week, the channel also suspended Wootton, who has apologised " unreservedly" for " a very unfortunate lapse in judgement on my part under the intense pressure of a bizarre exchange".
Robinson was later suspended after writing on Social Media that the channel's bosses were " scared" of Ofcom and " the woke mob".
In a statement on Wednesday, Gb News said: " Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson were both suspended last week pending internal investigations that have now concluded.
" As of today, Gb News has ended its employment relationship with Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson .
" The internal investigation into Dan Wootton continues. "
