Dan Wootton Slams “Smear Campaign” Amid Shocking Allegations
Dan Wootton, GB News star and former Sun showbiz ace, has hit back at explosive claims from his ex-partner. The 40-year-old presenter opened his GB News show with a fiery response to allegations he paid for explicit videos.
Wootton Denies All Claims, Hails Social Media a “Cesspit”
While stopping short of addressing the allegations outright, Wootton called the stories a “smear campaign” cooked up by “nefarious players with an axe to grind.” He admitted feeling uncomfortable but insisted, “I owe it to you to address this” because his show stands for “no spin, no bias, no censorship.”
The Kiwi presenter branded social media a “cesspit” where he’s been unfairly targeted and slammed the criminal accusations as “simply untrue.” Wootton recently returned home to New Zealand to visit family.
Controversial Past Fuels Firestorm
Wootton’s no stranger to controversy, having sparked outrage for shaming an elderly couple for still wearing face masks post-pandemic with a blunt “Why?” on social platforms.
Allegations Rock Media World
The claims, first reported by Byline Times and later The Guardian, date back to Wootton’s days at The Sun and the Mail. With Wootton’s Monday night GB News return, pressure is mounting on both the broadcaster and his ex-employers for official responses.
So far, GB News has stayed silent. Wootton, who famously broke the Megxit story at The Sun, now juggles presenting duties at GB News and writing for MailOnline, owned by DMG Media.
