All claim they were offered large sums of money in return for pictures. Wootton’s ex-boyfriend has publicly linked the TV presenter to the Branning pseudonym and Byline Times has also quoted an anonymous former colleague who claimed Wootton had acknowledged his involvement. Wootton has not denied the allegation. The Guardian has not been able to independently establish the link between Branning and Wootton. Wootton confronted the claims head-on on Tuesday night, blaming an ex-boyfriend with an axe to grind and suggesting social media and “cancel culture” had amplified the allegations. The GB News host used his show to warn that “revolting blogs that eschew basic journalism standards” are destroying democracy: “I have been thinking much about the current state of social media, where any allegation can be made in an attempt to get someone cancelled but it is impossible to defend yourself against thousands of trolls.” He said: “I, like all fallible human beings, have made errors of judgment in the past. But the criminal allegations being made against me are simply untrue.” Free daily newsletter Archie Bland and Nimo Omer take you through the top stories and what they mean, free every weekday morning Privacy Notice: Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties.

Should I be cancelled for them many years later? Or do you accept that I have learned and changed?” He also urged people to ignore the “cesspit” of Twitter: “Social media has become a race to the bottom. Pile-ons are now the way to cancel a person. Our country is better than that, we must be – that’s why GB News exists.” Sources at GB News told the Guardian they felt like there was an “uncomfortable” atmosphere around Wootton’s flagship 9pm show, after the presenter decided to directly address the allegations head on. But he also received supportive feedback from GB News viewers – and some Conservative MPs – after his suggestion the allegations were part of a left-wing political campaign.
