Laurence Fox denies sharing upskirting photo of TV star Narinder Kaur
Laurence Fox has denied sharing a compromising photo of TV star Narinder Kaur on social media.
The 46-year-old is alleged to have shared a compromising image in a tweet posted in April 2024 of Kaur, who appears regularly on Good Morning Britain and has previously appeared on GB News.
Fox, of Peldon in Essex, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday, charged with two counts under the Sexual Offences Act 2003.
He is accused in the first count of sharing a "photograph or film of the person in an intimate state intending to cause alarm, distress or humiliation". The second alleges he sent a "photograph or film of genitals to cause alarm, distress or humiliation".
Kaur has waived her right to anonymity.
Fox, who has recently attempted to enter the world of politics, spoke to confirm his identity and enter not guilty pleas to both charges.
The police previously said Fox had been "charged with an offence contrary to section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act 2003" which "relates to an image that was posted on a social media platform in April 2024".
Section 66A of the Sexual Offences Act relates to "cyber flashing".
The charge, introduced in 2023, makes it an offence to intentionally share a sexual image of someone without consent, with the aim of causing alarm, distress, humiliation or for sexual gratification.
Upskirting, taking pictures of people under their clothes without their permission, became a specific criminal offence in 2019.
Fox elected for a jury trial at crown court and will appear at Woolwich Crown Court for a pre-trial hearing on 23 May.
Hailing from the well-known Fox acting family dynasty, Fox is best known for his role in Inspector Morse spin-off, Lewis.
Fox was fired from a presenter role at GB News in October 2023 after the channel deemed comments he's made about a female journalist "totally unacceptable".

GMB's Richard Madeley reveals horrifying injury live on air after falling over on holiday in France
GOOD Morning Britain anchor Richard Madeley sparked fan concern after returning to the ITV series with a hugely painful injury. The former This Morning anchor, 69, was back on-screen alongside Susanna Reid, 54, for Monday's episode. 6 Richard Madeley sparked concern with his appearance on Good Morning Britain on Monday Credit: Rex 6 The 68-year-old anchor was seen wearing a cast Credit: ITV 6 He told how he has a double fracture of the wrist Credit: ITV Yet fans of the early-morning show were left worried after noting the broadcaster was clad with a huge cast on his right arm. The white plaster support could be seen peeking out of Richard's smart black suit as he fronted Good Morning Britain from his regular spot on the desk. Others also noted his voice sounded husky and "digitised" amid his injury woe, which he outlined at the top of the show. Susanna said: "Richard you better explain," to which he replied: "I thought you were going to say did I have a good break!" After the pair giggled, he continued: "It's a double fracture of the wrist. "I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France on Friday, and the pavement was loose. "It flipped up and it flipped me forward and I thought am I going to win or will gravity win? "And gravity won and I hit the ground hard. "So yeah I've got a double fracture and we'll see how it goes." After issuing a supportive "aww," Susanna then quizzed: Is it sore at the moment?" Richard Madeley was facing GMB axe before crunch talks as another HUGE star 'is set to leave ITV' amid cuts bloodbath The brave host said: "I'm not discussing the pain threshold we just don't think about pain." One ITV viewer took to X to write: "Awww Madeley has an owie." A second put: "Is Richard channeling his inner Keith lemon this morning with his bandage?" The Sun has gone to GMB for comment.

TOUGH TIME The injury comes amid a rough time for Richard and a slew of ITV broadcasters. It comes amid a huge shake up of the daytime TV offering at the channel. We were first to report how veteran journalist Richard was facing the axe after crunch talks with telly bosses. In May, sources say Richard was told his contract, worth a reported £300,000 a year, would not be renewed on current terms when it expires in December. He hit back and negotiated a new deal with bosses — but it will mean a significant cut in his hours and pay. A source said: 'This one has really rocked the ITV corridors because Richard is such a big name and a legend of daytime telly. it became apparent Richard had a meeting with the network's most senior bosses and he's now being kept on in a more part-time role. 'He's got himself back on the show — but his hours are significantly cut.' Richard made an unexpected return to daytime telly in 2021 after Piers Morgan left GMB in a row over Harry and Meghan. He had co-hosted ITV's This Morning with wife Judy Finnigan for 13 years from 1988 to 2001. They had been the golden couple of daytime telly and it was thought both were happy to enjoy retirement at their homes in London and Cornwall. But Richard made a shock return to the screen as ITV bosses brought him in as a regular joint presenter on GMB with Susanna. He quickly established himself as a popular face on the breakfast show, building up a warm rapport with his co-host and taking on the main male anchor role. TV SHAKE UP Former MP Ed is set to be kept on, despite some viewers criticising the show for having a conflict of interest when he has been interviewing his former Labour political colleagues. Ed, who became a presenter on the GMB rota in 2022, has been pulled out of the studio in recent months when there is an interview with his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, leaving Susanna to do it alone.
