Kaur had previously mocked right-wing commentator Leilani Dowding "for her page three days".

Fox said: “She can go cry victim all she wants. It’s not my fault she forgot to put her pants on, the whining cry bully hypocrite."

"I know people are saying not to feel embarrassed and mortified but I am. I’m so incredibly upset that people are looking at my privates and laughing. It’s unimaginably mortifying.”

The actor-turned-politician ordered to pay £180,000 in damages last week - after he was sued by former Stonewall trustee Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal over a row on Twitter.

Fox called Mr Blake and the former RuPaul's Drag Race contestant, whose real name is Colin Seymour, "paedophiles" in a clash over a decision by Sainsbury's to mark Black History Month in October 2020.

He counter-sued the pair over tweets accusing him of racism.
