Ava Evans known as Ava Santina on X, formerly Twitter, is the political journalist at the centre of Laurence Fox\u2019s \u2018sick\u2019 rant on Tuesday\u2019s GB News.<\/p>\n
The broadcaster is\u00a0investigating the \u2018totally unacceptable\u2019 comments\u00a0made by the 45-year-old, who was\u00a0formerly an actor before being dropped by his agent\u00a0over comments about\u00a0racism.<\/p>\n
During the awful rant, made on Dan Wootton\u2019s Tonight show on Tuesday (September 26), Fox described Joe political correspondent Ava Evans as a \u2018little woman\u2019 and added: \u2018Who would want to shag that?\u2019<\/p>\n
Ava shared a clip of the comments on social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, with the caption: \u2018Laurence Fox just did a whole speech on GB News on why men apparently won\u2019t shag me?\u2019<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s all you need to know about the female journalist.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ava is a\u00a0political correspondent for the online news site\u00a0Joe and usually covers Westminster and trade unions for the publisher.<\/p>\n
She was also a former producer at LBC.<\/p>\n
The GB News clip she shared has been viewed more than five million times as of Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n
In a follow-up tweet to her nearly 100,000 followers she added that the footage made her feel \u2018physically sick.\u2019<\/p>\n
Carol Vorderman, Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid have\u00a0thrown their support behind Ava, with the Uncensored frontman sharing: \u2018What he said does not reflect our values and we apologise unreservedly for the comments and the offence they have caused.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re past the watershed so I can say this: show me a single self-respecting man that would like to climb into bed with that woman, ever, ever, who wasn\u2019t an Incel?<\/p>\n
\u2018That little woman has been fed, spoon-fed oppression day after day after day\u2026 starting with the lie of the gender wage gap, and she\u2019s sat there and I\u2019m going, if I met you in a bar and that was like sentence three, chances of me just walking away are just huge.<\/p>\n
\u2018We need powerful strong amazing women who make great points for themselves, we don\u2019t need these sort of feminist 4.0\u2026 they\u2019re pathetic and embarrassing. Who would want to shag that?\u2019<\/p>\n
On Good Morning Britain, Susanna also said that any MP\u2019s who appeared on GB News should \u2018come off\u2019 if the channel \u2018entertained that sort of talk\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u2018No woman\u2019s body should be spoken about in that way,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n
In their latest statement, on Wednesday morning,\u00a0GB News\u00a0announced it had taken further measures against Fox and suspended the former actor with immediate effect while their probe continues.<\/p>\n
The statement, posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, reads: \u2018GB News has formally suspended Laurence Fox while we continue our investigation into comments he made on the channel last night.<\/p>\n
\u2018Mr Fox\u2019s suspension is effective immediately and he has been taken off air.<\/p>\n
\u2018We will be apologising formally to Ms Evans today.\u2019<\/p>\n
