Dan Wootton: Who is Alan Longair, his parter who stood by him through controversy?
Dan Wootton is promising a comeback in 2024. While we do not know what that will entail, the presenter has been spending a lot of family time in the recent years.
2023 hasn’t been Dan Wootton’s year – in July it was alleged by both his ex partner, Alex Truby, and Byline Times that he was involved in catfishing former colleagues as well as sexually harassing and bullying them.

Later on in the year, Byline continued their investigation to reveal that Wootton made ‘payments to the partner of a top royal aide’ which led to ‘the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to run from the UK’.

Then at the end of September, Wootton was suspended from the channel after what was called a ‘sexist rant’ from actor turned politician Laurence Fox. Since then, Wootton has been keeping a low profile. Just in the last month has he started posting on Instagram again showing his family time.
Who is Dan Wootton’s partner?
Not much is known about Dan Wootton’s partner except that his name is Alan Longair. The two celebrated their three year anniversary in May 2023. In March of that same year, in a celebratory post to mark Wootton’s 40th birthday, the presenter referred to Longair as ‘the love of my life.’

It is unknown how Longair has reacted to the serious and worrying claims made against Wootton over the summer of 2023 but in his only address about the scandal on GB News, Wootton had tender words for him.

It is true that after he was suspended from GB News the word was that he was returning to New Zealand.
Now, about a month later, Wootton has himself announced that 2024 is going to be a significant year. In the caption he wrote:
