All the stars slamming GB News’ Laurence Fox after his vile rant
Laurence Fox’s rant against a female journalist has seen him suspended from his position on GB News, as well as celebs turn on him…again.
Here are some of the stars who’ve hit out at the 45-year-old since his rant earlier this week.
What did Laurence Fox say?
During an appearance on GB News, Laurence and Dan Wootton were discussing the political journalist, Ava Evans.
“We’re past the watershed so I can say this… show me a single, self-respecting man that would like to climb into bed with that woman… ever… ever,” Fox said in his vile rant.
“That little woman has been fed… spoon-fed oppression day after day after day, starting with the lie about the gender pay gap,” he then said.
“She’s sat there, and I’m going like if I met you at a bar and that was like sentence three, chances of me just walking away are just huge,” he then continued.
“We need powerful, strong, amazing women who make great points for themselves. We don’t need these feminist 4.0. They’re pathetic and embarrassing. Who’d want to [bleep] that?” he then added.
He has since been suspended from GB News – and it seems as though most of Twitter has hit out at him.
Who has hit out at Laurence Fox since his comments?
In the wake of his comments, Laurence has been slammed left, right, and centre from Twitter. Some celebrities have even taken aim at the actor-turned-politician.
Piers Morgan was amongst some of the celebrities who hit out at Laurence this week. Taking to Twitter, Piers wrote: “Ava is a very talented journalist and delightful person. Fox is a disgusting piece of misogynist trash.”
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has also spoken out against Fox’s comments.
“You can’t allow people to appear on air and talk about women in the way that Laurence Fox and Dan Wootton are doing. These people have got to be kept out of air…I’m not in favour of censorship, but you cannot have this fall in standards and allow it to continue,” he said.
Sharon Osbourne also hit out at Fox. “It’s just foul. Why take it [the tone] down? He’s meant to be something of a politician. And his vocabulary is this big if he has to take it down to ‘nobody wants to [bleep] her. I mean, it’s disgraceful. It’s belittling. It’s not true, she’s a gorgeous-looking woman,” she said on TalkTV.
Carol Vorderman and more lash out
More celebrities have hit out since. Gary Lineker, star of Match of the Day, branded Laurence Fox’s comments “revolting” in a short tweet earlier this week.
Carol Vorderman, meanwhile, threw her support behind Ava. “Please know that ALL decent people are on your side. We’re grateful for your voice. Do not let them bully you. I know only too well how difficult that can be. But we ARE winning. All of us together,” she tweeted Ava.
Even Fox’s own GB News co-stars have hit out at him. “Sorry @LozzaFox I defend free speech but you’re bang out of order. Women don’t exist just to be men’s playthings,” Julia Hartley-Brewer said in a tweet.
GB News’ Mark Dolan said: “But the comments made by Laurence in my view were sexist, misogynistic and have been condemned across the political spectrum from the left and the right and even the liberal democrats.”
Ava herself has since spoken out. “The whole thing is making me feel quite itchy and gross,” she said on the JOE.co.uk podcast.
“It’s like an antiquated practice of not being able to properly challenge a woman on her words and so just going for her level of attractiveness or her ‘[bleep]ability’,” she then added.
ED! has contacted Laurence’s reps for comment on Ava’s response.

Joel’s body is found, police draw up their suspects and Sam gets hurt
In Coronation Street spoilers for next week, Weatherfield is on edge as two lads spot a body floating in the water, with police identifying it as Joel’s.
Elsewhere, Sam cooks up a scheme which leaves him hurt in the hospital. Rowan is also set to strike again…
All this and more in Coronation Street spoilers for next week.
1. Coronation Street spoilers for next week: Joel’s body is found
The week starts with Joel’s investigation in full swing. Craig and Kit sit down and watch the CCTV from a train station car park.
Both are shocked to see Joel and then his dad around a locker. Following the lead, Kit interviews Gus in a desperate attempt to reveal the truth.
Later on, three lads are passing by the river and see a body floating in the water. Police believe the body to be Joel’s.
Kit steals himself to break the news to Dee-Dee and Lauren at the hospital, while Lisa breaks the news to people in the Rovers.
Meanwhile, coroners undergo a shocking post mortem, which reveals he was already dead before he was chucked into the river.
The potential suicide has now switched to a murder investigation. Police draw up their suspects…
2. The suspects are lined up
Could it be Lauren? Could it be Mason? Police are investigating all lines…
Kit first questions Lauren and asks where she was on September 27, the night of Joel’s death.
Elsewhere, Dee-Dee reveals to Ed and Ronnie that Joel was murdered…
More details of the post mortem are revealed, which say that Joel died from two blows to the head with a heavy weapon, most likely a crowbar.
While on the cobbles, DS Swain learns from Yasmeen that she threw Mason out because he had a crowbar, something which puts him as a main suspect.
Ever the protective mother, Lisa tells Betsy to stay away from Mason, which only leaves her intrigued.
Betsy warns Mason that the police are onto him. Hearing her warning, Mason disposes of the crowbar in a bin behind the factory.
However, it doesn’t go smoothly as he is caught in the act by Kit.
3. Stu threatens to leave
Speed Daal’s finest are once again at loggerheads. The reason? No surprises – it’s Mason.
Stu grows angry with Yasmeen after she reveals a social worker has found alternative accommodation for Mason. She feels it’s time for Mason to move on.
He disagrees. A furious Stu tells Yasmeen he is thinking of moving – not just out, but to Germany.
Stu claims he wants to be with Eliza and Dom and away from Weatherfield.
How will Yasmeen react?
4. Bethany’s plight
Still in despair and trying to patch things up, Daniel explains to Sarah how Bethany has got it into her head that he won’t want to be with her as she now has a stoma bag.
Daniel emphasises this means nothing to him, but it doesn’t seem to be getting through to an insecure Bethany.
However, the next action is… questionable.
Later, Jenny tells Daisy that she bumped into Daniel and recounted his relationship struggles.
This makes her determined and Daisy sets off to the hospital, to put Bethany straight…
5. The Platts’ finances
Bethany’s medical flight was no small purchase. Gail is still adamant about selling the house.
However, David is still on edge and has been carefully going over his finances to see if he can buy the house.
He feels particularly mistrusting after Jesse offers to lend a hand and reveals he’s taking Gail on a trip to Whitby. Could there be an ulterior motive?
The younger Platts think so. Sarah and David take a moment to discuss his supposedly ‘strange’ behaviour. However, the conversation is cut by the arrival of an estate agent putting up a “for sale” sign. David reacts expectedly…
Jesse, unaware to their suspicions, tells Gail he wants to get to know her kids. He treats David, Sarah and Nick to lunch in the Rovers.
There, the kids quiz him on his finances and he admits he’s awaiting some cash after he sold his home.
Elsewhere, Sarah accuses Adam of stealing Damon’s money from the lock-up. Adam assures her he had nothing to do with it, nor did Daniel and the most likely suspect is Damon’s cousin who went to ‘check’ on it.
At the lunch, David advises Sarah to forget about Damon’s missing money, but she’s not done yet.
Adam stirs the pot as he says Jesse may have overheard her and David discussing the missing money and Sarah becomes adamant that Jesse took it. She follows Jesse after he has to leave early.
What could she find?
6. Rowan’s interference
Leanne, although still reeling from Nick and Toyah’s divorce, starts focussing her attention on sorting out the family.
She tells Toyah that both of them should move out of the flat to leave time for Nick and Sam. Leanne reveals she has rented the flat above the salon, but Toyah will have to find her own place. Rightly so…
At the Bistro, Nick gets a concerning call revealing that Rowan is pleading not guilty. He divulges this to David, and adds the family will have to go to trial against Rowan.
Trying to take his mind of things, Nick flirts with a customer, but doesn’t realise Sam is watching.
Sam takes matters into his own hands and tells the customer his dad is engaged and not available.
In an attempt to reignite Nick and Leanne’s love, Sam prepares a romantic meal at the flat.
However, disaster strikes when he uses a sharp knife to try and open some oysters.
Sam calls on Asha at No.7, who takes him to the hospital where Nick is called out.
Coronation Street spoilers: 7. Hope’s vapes
Hope tells Tyrone she is too ill to go to school. The youngster is still using vapes, despite promising her parents she’d cut them out.
Tyrone reckons Hope’s brought it on herself by vaping, and encourages a hospital visit.
Dr Gaddas confirms that Hope has a chest infection and her vaping will certainly have played a part.
Is this the wake up call she needs to put down the vapes?
8. Family worries
Gemma confides in Chesney that she doesn’t want Joseph to go on his school skiing trip in case he gets hurt and passes away, like Paul.
Ches comforts her and Joseph later reveals he doesn’t want Gemma to feel stressed on his behalf and would rather not go. Will this sort things, or cause a riff?
Elsewhere, Lauren is left delighted after the doctors say Frankie is ready to go home next month. Her friends rally around her, with Bobby taking a particularly strong stand.
He tells Max that he still has strong feelings for Lauren and wants to be with her.
However, he learns that Lauren slept on Max’s couch the other night and they start to act shifty around him.
Could something be going on?
Coronation Street spoilers: 9. Ronnie’s surprise
Debbie works behind the scenes to arrange a surprise party for Ronnie to make his birthday.
He’s happy, but his mood is quickly squished when Kit and a colleague arrive to question him and Ed.
Ronnie insists he was home alone the night Joel went missing, while Ed claims he was at No.3 with Dee-Dee and Michael.
In an attempt to get the heat off their backs, Ronnie says he last used the satnav when he and Michael helped Joel move out of his flat ages ago.
At the party, Michael reveals they actually drove to Joel’s flat in his car that time and an unimpressed Debbie realises Ronnie lied to her.
Could this be a clue to Joel’s killer?

In an extract from her autobiography, You’ve Got To Laugh, Alison said: “I was sick a lot. I couldn’t keep anything down. It was really distressing, I felt as if my body was rejecting the foreign entity inside me and I began to get ill.
“I kept it for two years, until it was getting to the point where I couldn’t even keep down one bite of food. ‘I can’t take this anymore,’ I thought, miserably.”

Naga Munchetty slammed for Bill Bailey interview
BBC Breakfast forced many viewers to cringe and some to turn over after an “awkward” and “dreadful” Friday interview between Bill Bailey and co-presenter Naga Munchetty.
The 59-year-old comedian was on the programme’s red sofa promoting his new book My Animals, and Other Animals: A memoir of sorts.
Bill Bailey and Naga Munchetty on BBC Breakfast
However, in a segment that showcased animal photos, an image of Bill posing with a husky in Iceland left Naga, 49, questioning tongues.
She asked: “Is that your tongue or the dog’s tongue?”
A confused Bill replied: “That’s the dog’s tongue, what do you mean is that my tongue? It’s coming out sideways! That’s not the sort of thing I’d do! That’s the dog’s tongue!”
The presenter, who was hosting alongside Charlie Stayt, 62, did not leave it there.
Naga justified her question by adding: “Look you can see if someone said that’s your tongue, it would be believable!”
The comedy legend jumped back: “That’s not the question I thought I was going to get today: ‘Is that your tongue or the dog’s?’”
The conversation later turned to the thought of AI potentially replacing comedians.
Bill shut down the idea, saying: “Do you think? No way, AI could never replace me! Look, AI, the tongue would come straight out you’d know whose tongue it was!”
Naga teased him by responding with: “You’re saying it as a compliment, the husky had a nice tongue!”
Bill laughed it all off with a bemused “Alright…”
BBC Breakfast viewers react to the ‘dreadful’ interview
Many viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to react to the interview.
One said: “Had to turn over from that Bill Bailey interview, [I’m] glad I wasn’t on my own feeling awkward watching that. Dreadful stuff. #BBCBreakfast.
Another penned: “He seemed a bit irked with her at the end.”
Meanwhile, a thrid wrote: “Naga just comes across as so annoying, ref Bill Bailey #BBCBreakfast.”
Bill’s first memoir, and surprise Strictly win
Bill’s 304-paged memoir, which came out on October 10, “shares stories of his life – and the animals he’s met along the way”.
BBC Breakfast continues daily at 6am on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
