Dan Wootton
Daniel John William Wootton (born 2 March 1983) is a New Zealand and British journalist and broadcaster.In 2007, he joined the ''News of the World''. In 2013, he joined ''The Sun on Sunday'' and became editor of the ''Bizarre'' column the following year. In February 2016, he joined ''The Sun'', under the editorship of Victoria Newton, as associate editor and in March 2018 progressed to executive editor. Wootton has made appearances as a show business presenter on the ITV Breakfast shows ''Lorraine'' and ''Daybreak''. From 2015 to 2018, he was also a regular contributor and panelist on ''Big Brother's Bit on the Side''. In 2021 Wootton left News UK to join the MailOnline as a columnist and present a show, four days a week, on GB News.
Wootton was suspended from GB News in September 2023 following an incident in which sexual comments were made on his show by guest Laurence Fox about journalist Ava Evans, which were described by the channel as "totally unacceptable". Wootton apologised and said that he should have intervened. His contract with MailOnline was subsequently terminated and Ofcom opened an investigation into the incident, which concluded that the show breached their broadcasting rules. Wootton announced his departure from GB News on Twitter, a day after Ofcom's report was released on 4 March 2024. Provided by Wikipedia
