 Ava Evans, the woman at the centre of Laurence Fox's vile tirade on GB News, has detailed the pain of explaining the scandal to her father. Fox, 45, has been suspended by the channel after he made a string of comments about the political correspondent on Tuesday, including asking: 'Who would want to shag that?' The programme's host Dan Wootton has also been suspended, as well as Calvin Robinson after showing support on social media for his fellow presenter. Evans, who works for the website Politics JOE, said the worst part of the experience had been explaining it to her father. 'My dad was just confused. He said: 'But why would he say this? Have you dated him?' He just didn't get it,' she said. 'My parents didn't go to university. They have ordinary jobs and have always been so proud of what I do and have achieved. Fox's sexist rant about Evans has been widely condemned (Picture: Getty Images) 'Why should my choice of career — political reporting — mean I have to contend with this?' Evans, who previously said she was left 'speechless' and 'really hurt' Fox spoke about her body rather than her work, branded the comments 'unforgivable.' She told the Daily Mail: 'It would have been horrible for a woman to hear she was being discussed in those terms in the pub. Wootton has also been suspended by the broadcaster (Picture: GB News) 'I'm not naive. I know that men talk like that about women. But this was on national TV. It was demeaning. It was dehumanising. 'As if it was an option for him to have sex with me. As if men get to look at you and decide if they want to… Unforgivable.' A former producer for LBC radio, she said she would have acted to stop the comments if she had been working Tuesday's Dan Wootton Tonight show.
