Laurence Fox has denied allegations that he shared a compromising image of television personality Narinder Kaur on social media.

The 46-year-old actor and political activist is accused of posting the image in a tweet in April 2024. Kaur, who regularly appears on Good Morning Britain and has previously featured on GB News, has waived her right to anonymity.


Fox, of Peldon in Essex, appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday where he faced two charges under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

The first charge alleges he shared a “photograph or film of the person in an intimate state intending to cause alarm, distress or humiliation”. The second charge relates to allegedly sending a “photograph or film of genitals to cause alarm, distress or humiliation”.

Fox confirmed his identity in court and entered not guilty pleas to both charges. He has opted for a jury trial at crown court and is next due to appear for a pre-trial hearing at Woolwich Crown Court on 23 May.

The Metropolitan Police previously confirmed that Fox had been “charged with an offence contrary to section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003”, relating to an image posted on a social media platform in April 2024.

Section 66A, introduced in 2023, makes it a criminal offence to intentionally share a sexual image of someone without their consent, either to cause alarm, distress, humiliation or for sexual gratification. The legislation forms part of wider efforts to address forms of online abuse, including “cyber-flashing” — the unsolicited sharing of explicit images via digital platforms.

Additionally, "upskirting" — taking photographs underneath someone’s clothing without their permission — became a specific criminal offence in 2019, reflecting growing concern over image-based sexual abuse.

Fox, who comes from the well-known Fox acting family, rose to fame through his role in Lewis, the popular Inspector Morse spin-off series. In more recent years, he has been known for his controversial political views and public commentary.

In October 2023, he was dismissed from his role as a presenter on GB News after making comments about a female journalist that the channel described as “totally unacceptable”.

Fox’s foray into politics has also drawn significant attention. He has positioned himself as a critic of what he describes as "woke culture" and has made several bids to establish himself within the political sphere, including an unsuccessful run for London Mayor.

The case continues to attract widespread public interest given Fox’s high-profile background and the serious nature of the allegations.

A full trial is expected later this year.

Why Glastonbury 2025 Is Reducing Ticket Sales After Safety Issues

Glastonbury 2025 welcomes smaller crowds for improved safety

Glastonbury cuts 2025 ticket sales after last year’s crowd safety crisis

Glastonbury has taken the unprecedented step of selling thousands fewer tickets for its 2025 event following dangerous overcrowding last year. Festival chief Emily Eavis confirmed the capacity reduction just weeks before Olivia Rodrigo, The 1975 and Neil Young headline the iconic event. The move addresses 2024’s critical incidents, where crowd crushes forced performances to halt and areas to close. “We’ve sold a few thousand fewer tickets to see how that affects site dynamics,” Eavis stated on the Sidetracked podcast.


Shangri-La’s radical green reinvention

In its most dramatic transformation, the festival’s legendary nightlife zone Shangri-La will become a tree filled sanctuary, abandoning its industrial aesthetic entirely. “It’s completely the opposite of anything we’ve done,” Eavis revealed. Simultaneously, newly acquired land has created Dragon’s Tail, a public hilltop area overlooking the southeast corner. The dual strategy is to disperse crowds after last year’s chaos, when fans missed sets like Sugababes and Charli XCX due to unsafe congestion.


Mystery act Patchwork caps major line-up changes

A secret Pyramid Stage booking named “Patchwork”, which required a year of complex logistics, fuels intense speculation alongside major acts. The line-up also features Rod Stewart’s coveted legends slot, Irish rap trio Kneecap and breakout star Raye. Demand remains high despite reduced capacity: November’s first ticket batch sold out in 30 minutes, with coach packages disappearing even faster. “There were years we couldn’t give tickets away,” Eavis reflected, contrasting the current frenzy with past struggles.

Organisers now leverage crowd data from the festival app’s schedule planner, which accurately predicted 2024 pinch points. Post-pandemic movement patterns show attendees move more in a herd, prompting new traffic management including 10 alternative routes across the sprawling site.


The festival runs from 25 to 30 June with additional measures like expanded space at the Other Stage, where Charli XCX’s Saturday headline set is expected to test the new systems. While operating below its capacity of 210,000, Glastonbury maintains its non-corporate ethos despite £10 million (₹1,025,000,000) pandemic losses. “The whole thing is based on goodwill,” Eavis emphasised, rejecting commercial takeovers. Final preparations include £1 million (₹102,500,000) wet weather contingencies, ensuring the show proceeds rain or shine.
