We have launched an investigation and will be apologising to the individual involved.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But Fox refused to apologised and posted a lengthy statement on X this morning, saying: &#8216;First of all, don&#8217;t take a pop at Dan Wootton\u00a0for something I said.

Having looked at the footage, I can see how inappropriate my reaction to his totally unacceptable remarks appears to be and want to be clear that I was in no way amused by the comments.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I reacted as I did out of shock and surprise in an off-guard moment while working out how to respond as he continued to speak by searching for tweets @AvaSantina had sent earlier in the day while having them read out in my ear at the same time. However, I should have intervened immediately to challenge offensive and misogynistic remarks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/27\/10\/75883201-12565489-image-a-25_1695805410254.jpg\" height=\"249\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/27\/10\/75883199-12565489-image-a-24_1695805406748.jpg\" height=\"565\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I apologise unreservedly for what was a very unfortunate lapse in judgment on my part under the intense pressure of a bizarre exchange.
