Earlier this week, political journalist Ava Evans discussed men's mental health and suicide on BBC's Politics Live show, which led former actor Laurence Fox to launch a vile tirade of abuse towards her while chatting to Wootton on GB News.

He also described Ms Evans as a "little woman" and declared: "We don't need these sort of feminist 4.0" who he said are"pathetic and embarrassing".

The Dan Wootton Tonight Show is being investigated by media regulator Ofcom after a recent sexism row received over 7,300 complaints. Following days of controversial tweets and an unwillingness to back down on his comments, Laurence has now issued an apology to journalist Evans. The actor-turned-political-activist said his comments were "demeaning" and "not representative of who I am". However, he said he maintained "the sentiment" of his comments, saying he was angry about what he said was Ms Evans "demeaning" male suicide. In the video, posted on his account on X, formerly known as Twitter, he said: "I could have and should have expressed it better. It's not right, it's demeaning to Ava, so I'm sorry for demeaning you in that way, however angry I am with you still for doing that, and it){kind=link}
