GB News is considering axing its 'anti-woke' comedy show following a raft of complaints over a remark made about the LGBTQ+ community.

One of the presenters of Headliners suggested on Saturday the panel show could be taken off air within two weeks.

The programme, which is a comic spin on traditional newspaper review shows, is currently at the centre of GB News's latest dispute with regulator Ofcom.

More than 1,200 viewers complained and 70,000 people signed a petition after comedian Josh Howie appeared to suggest the LGBTQ+ community included paedophiles.

The remarks were made during a segment on a sermon by a US bishop, which urged President Donald Trump to 'have mercy' on gay, lesbian and transgender children.
