Narinder Kaur is “seeking legal advice” as police continue their investigation into a social media post by Laurence Fox about a “set up offence”, her agent has said.
In a now-deleted tweet posted on Tuesday, Fox shared a compromising image of Kaur, a broadcaster who rose to fame on Big Brother and now regularly appears on Good Morning Britain and GB News. The post remained on Fox’s account until it was deleted on Thursday.
Kaur’s agent told the PA news agency that she is “seeking legal advice” as the police investigation continues.
They said: “Narinder is understandably upset and is still coming to terms with what has happened to her.
“She thanks everyone who has supported her so far. She is currently seeking legal advice and awaiting further response from the Metropolitan Police.”
Posting on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday, Kaur confirmed it is “now a police matter” and said the image was “unbelievably deadly” as she thanked people on the social media platform for their support.
“I know people say not to feel ashamed and upset, but I am. I’m so upset that people are looking at my privates and laughing. It’s terribly unimaginable,” she said.
The Metropolitan Police told the PA news agency it had “been made aware of a post on social media relating to a previous offence” and was investigating the circumstances.
Fox addressed the situation in an extended post on X on Friday, in which he said he “would like to apologize” to Kaur, then went on to say “it’s not my fault” Kaur was photographed in the offending image.
He also criticized Kaur, those who support her and those who “want to silence her”.
Snapping, taking pictures of people under their clothes without their permission, became a specific offense in 2019. Offenders can face up to two years in prison and be placed on the sex offenders’ register.
The police investigation comes a week after Fox was ordered to pay £180,000 in damages to two people he called “pedophiles” in a social media row after losing a High Court defamation battle.
The former actor used to present on GB News but was sacked in October after an on-air rant about journalist Ava Evans.
The PA news agency has reached out to Fox for comment.
