Laurence Fox has been sacked by GB News after an outcry about comments he made on air about a female journalist.
The former actor and political activist Fox sparked controversy last week when he asked what "self-respecting man" would "climb into bed" with Ava Evans.
Fox hosted a weekly show on the channel and made the comments while appearing as a contributor on Dan Wootton's show.
Fellow host Calvin Robinson, who had said bosses were "scared" of Ofcom and "the woke mob", has also been fired.
More than 8,800 people complained about Fox's remarks to the media regulator, which has launched an investigation.
