Dan Wootton has been sacked by MailOnline the day after he was suspended by GB News.

It comes after the fall-out for his part in an on-air discussion with actor Laurence Fox about a female journalist.

He was already suspended from the MailOnline after a series of troubling sexual allegations were made against him.

A spokesperson for DMG Media, the parent company of MailOnline, said: “Following events this week, DMG Media can confirm that Dan Wootton’s freelance column with MailOnline – which had already been paused – has now been terminated, along with his contract.”
