"Matt Goodwin, Reform UK's candidate in the Gorton and Denton byelection, was accused by a young woman working at GB News of making inappropriate comments which she viewed as sexually harassing, the Guardian can reveal. The junior staffer complained to HR last year alleging Goodwin had made inappropriate comments, one regarding her appearance, sources say. Goodwin, 44, volunteered an apology after the complaint had been raised. The woman is understood to have complained to the network's HR department in 2025."
"A number of sources have told the Guardian that they were aware of the woman's complaint against Goodwin and that GB News had undertaken an inquiry into the complaint. One source at the broadcaster said: She was very upset at the time, and her colleagues were upset on her behalf that she was so distressed by the situation. Goodwin has denied acting inappropriately."
A junior GB News staffer complained to HR in 2025 that Matt Goodwin made inappropriate comments about her appearance, which she viewed as sexually harassing. Goodwin, 44, volunteered an apology after the complaint was raised. The complainant later left the network. GB News conducted an inquiry; a lawyer for Goodwin said a grievance referred to two alleged verbal remarks made months apart, no formal disciplinary action was taken, and the matter was resolved as a difference in perception or miscommunication. An investigator reportedly found both accounts credible. Nigel Farage was informed before Goodwin's selection and did not reverse the choice.
