Journalist Ava Evans has said that she was used as a “vehicle for content” by Laurence Fox as he ranted about her during an interview with Dan Wootton on GB News.
The political correspondent, who works for website Joe, said in a video on her employer’s YouTube channel: “This is actually nothing to do with me. This is a network problem. This is a presenter, guest, gallery and production issues - that is nothing to do with me. I just so happen to be the person they are talking about.”
She continued: “I’m just a commodity in this story. I’m just a vehicle for content. That’s the part that makes me feel most sick.”
Both Wootton and Fox have been suspended by GB News pending an investigation by the broadcaster into the interview.
