Laurence Fox has said he’s completed a “disciplinary hearing” ahead of his rumoured sacking from GB News.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, he said: “Just completed my GB News show trial. I mean disciplinary hearing. I think the rules are that I can’t speak freely about it. Which is totally on brand. For the home of free speech.”
Meanwhile, the chief executive of GB News says he was “appalled” by comments made by Laurence Fox on Dan Wootton’s show.
In his first interview since the incident, Angelos Frangopoulos told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that the broadcaster has a “process to follow”, but expects the internal investigation to be “resolved very quickly.”
The former Sky News Australia chief executive added: “I was appalled by those comments they are not in keeping with the values with us as a business and obviously we took action immediately.
“…I was horrified by what was said….that comment should not have gone to air.”
