Laurence Fox has been charged with a sexual offence after allegedly tweeting a compromising image of broadcaster Narinder Kaur.

The 46-year-old is accused of sharing the photo of Ms Kaur – who appears regularly on Good Morning Britain and GB News – in April 2024.

Posting on X at the time, Ms Kaur, 52, said the image was “unimaginably mortifying”.

Police have charged the former GB News presenter after a one-month investigation.

He is due to appear in court in April.
