A GB News presenter has claimed he\u2019s been suspended after voicing his support for Dan Wootton.<\/p>\n
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Reverend Calvin Robinson wrote: \u2018I have been suspended from GB News.\u2019<\/p>\n
A few hours prior to his post on the social media platform, Reverend Robinson announced that he would not be appearing on Wootton\u2019s GB News programme on Friday evening, saying that the presenter had \u2018a significant part to play in building GB News\u2019.<\/p>\n
In a statement recently released by the channel, it was confirmed that Wootton had been suspended from his position.<\/p>\n
\u2018GB News has suspended Dan Wootton following comments made on his programme by Laurence Fox last night,\u2019 it read.<\/p>\n
\u2018This follows our decision earlier today to formally suspend Mr Fox.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u2018We are conducting a full investigation.\u2019<\/p>\n
On Tuesday evening, Fox appeared on Wootton\u2019s show, where he made a series of remarks about journalist Ava Evans, known as Ava Santina on X (formerly Twitter), including saying: \u2018Who would want to shag that?\u2019<\/p>\n
GB News later released a statement branding his comments \u2018unacceptable\u2019, with Fox suspended from the channel with immediate effect.<\/p>\n
Following the backlash, Wootton released a statement on social media expressing \u2018regret\u2019 over the way in which he reacted to Fox\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n
In a follow-up to his earlier apology, he wrote on X: \u2018I want to reiterate my regret over last night\u2019s exchange with Laurence on GB News.<\/p>\n

\u2018Having 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.\u2019<\/p>\n
He continued: \u2018I reacted as I did out of shock and surprise in an off-guard moment while working out how to respond as he continued to speak by searching for tweets Ava Santina had sent earlier in the day while having them read out in my ear at the same time.\u2019<\/p>\n
