GB News presenter Martin Daubney was egged outside Parliament last night as MPs prepared to vote on whether to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Pro-Palestine protesters descended on Westminster to put pressure on MPs to support a suspension of fighting.
However, Daubney's interaction with a group of demonstrators was cut short after at least three eggs were thrown at him.
Footage captured outside Parliament appeared to show at least one egg make contact with the 53-year-old.

A police officer was spotted walking into the group of protesters but soon backed away.
Conservative commentator Chris Rose, who captured footage of the incident, said: "Outside of Parliament, Martin Daubney got egged by someone amongst the pro Palestine rabble.
"As MPs virtue signal over a vote which won’t make any difference, a Met Police officer failed to arrest anyone as he looked too scared of the mob to enforce the law. Priorities."
He added: "Bringing eggs to a protest isn’t a sign of peaceful intentions."

Daubney, who said the suspected egg-thrower has been caught on camera, vowed to seek further action from Scotland Yard.
He said: "I shall be pushing for an assault, and the Met have the full evidence. We can’t bow to the mob. Over to Old Bill."
Separate footage captured outside Parliament showed egg splattered across Daubney's suit and hand.
The former Brexit Party MEP jovially said: "Luckily, I'm not a vegan."

Daubney last night confirmed he was in Westminster to cover the protest.
He complained to officers about activists lighting up Big Ben with pro-Palestine messaging.
Fellow GB News presenter Patrick Christys was left feeling uncomfortable when he covered a separate protest in November.
He said at the time: "I had a security guard with me, and if he wasn't there, I do genuinely think that I may well have been physically attacked."
