Laurence Fox has announced he will marry his conspiracy theorist podcaster girlfriend Liz Barker.

The disgraced former GB News presenter’s engagement news comes the year after he split from ex-fiancée Arabella Fleetwood Neagle shortly before they had been expected to walk down the aisle.

The 46-year-old captioned the post: ‘Some personal news from @californiafrizz and I. ❤️.’

Fox and Barker started dating after his dramatic split from Neagle last summer.

On Instagram, Barker describes herself as a model, body double, and stuntwoman.

She also regularly appears on the ‘critical thinking’ podcast Elite Thinking Club.

The pod includes hosts discussing a range of conspiracy theories, from aliens to a possible ‘flat Earth’ to the moon landing.

Initially set up with a single host, Barker joined the podcast in early 2021 and began regularly sharing her radical views.

These included false claims that the severity of climate change was being exacerbated to ‘control people’.

A few years ago, she described global warming as a ‘smoke screen for something else’.

‘I feel like [climate change] is the next emergency they want to throw at us,’ she said.

‘It’s like we’ve gone from the Covid emergency to climate change. The next thing we want to control you with is climate change.

Barker also previously claimed the moon landing was a ‘big lie’ and refused to wear a mask on set while filming what appeared to be The Batman in Liverpool in 2020 during the pandemic.

Prior to his relationships with Barker and Neagle, Fox was married to Scoop actress Billie Piper, 42.

The former couple married in 2007 after meeting during play Treats and went on to have two sons Winston, 11, and Eugene, seven, together.

They divorced more than eight years later in 2016.

Since their split, Fox has been involved in various controversies – and was sacked by GB News after making misogynistic remarks about journalist Ava Evans on air.

In April this year, he was ordered to pay £180,000 in damages after he was sued by drag artist Crystal and former Stonewall trustee Simon Blake over comments he made on X.

A picture he posted of broadcaster Narinder Kaur on the social media site is under investigation by police amid allegations of upskirting, a term used to describe taking pictures of people under their clothes without their permission.
