GB News presenter Ben Leo was branded a "fascist" and told he was "not welcome" as he attempted to speak to left-wing protesters in Epping.
As demonstrations outside the asylum seeker hotel in Essex continue, Ben was confronted by Stand Up to Racism demonstrators in the crowd.
The Bell Hotel is at the centre of protests from both Epping locals and pro-migrant groups following an alleged sexual assault by a migrant staying at the hotel.
As Ben waded through the crowd to try and speak to those supporting the hotel, the GB News host was instead met with abuse.

Approaching a man holding a "tear down the borders" sign, Ben was ignored by the protester as he questioned him on the signage.
As he walked towards another collective of Stand Up to Racism protesters, they began to chant "GB News are fascists", with another yelling at Ben "get the f**k out of here!"
Ben then asked another protester about why he was at the demonstration, holding a sign which read "refugees welcome, stop the far right".
He refused to speak to Ben and instead directed him to the security stewards, just as another protester furiously interjected the conversation.

The demonstrator shouted: "We don't f**king want you here!"
The GB News host attempted to calm the protester, assuring him "you don't need to be so angry", before moving on through the crowd.
After being directed to one of the organisers of the protest, Ben approached the man and asked to speak to him about Stand Up to Racism's demonstration.
The organiser ushered Ben away, refusing to speak to him: "Off you go, you're not welcome. You're not allowed in here. You're not welcome."

Ben made clear he was allowed into the pen by the police controlling the protests, stating: "It seems strange that you've come down here with a counter-protest.
"You've got a big security presence, big police presence, and you don't want to talk about things."
The People's Channel broadcaster then left the Stand Up to Racism pen, and the protesters began chanting once again, declaring "GB News are fascists".
Ben was then escorted away from the demonstration by the group's private security team, unable to speak to any of the protesters.
