[2] He does not hold an ordinary PhD or medical degree, but does have an honorary doctorate from the University of Bath in respect of his contributions to the media and charity.

[2] Fox presented the station's evening show from 7.30 pm until 10.00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays (sharing weekday evenings with Pat Sharp), where some of his first shows were broadcast only on medium wave, because Capital were then broadcasting "adult" rock music on FM while mainstream chart music was played on MW.

In the very early 1990s there was a short period during which Fox hosted a show starting at midnight on Saturday, specifically aimed at the club crowd.

In 1997 it was rumoured that Matthew Bannister offered Fox the breakfast show on BBC Radio 1, following the departure of Chris Evans from the station.

Fox said that he wanted to leave Capital when he did not get the breakfast show, but he initially changed his mind and remained for a while longer.

From 12 September 2005 he was the presenter of the "More Music Breakfast Show" on Magic 105.4 FM in London, and on DAB, Freeview and Satellite across the UK.

[5] On 17 July 2020 it was announced Fox would join the internet radio station United DJs, presenting the "Heritage Chart Run Down" on Sunday evenings.

[6] In November 2020, Fox alongside Mike Read left United DJs in order to launch Nation Radio UK.

[citation needed] On 12 October 2008 Fox joined his fellow ex-Pop Idol judges Pete Waterman and Nicki Chapman on Peter Kay's Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice, a spoof on the talent show genre of programmes.

Fox appeared on the satirical show Brass Eye's controversial 2001 Paedophilia Special, where he claimed that "Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me.

In August 2014 Fox was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to September's referendum on that issue.

[11] Fox was arrested on 30 September 2014 at Magic FM headquarters in London by police investigating claims of historical sex offences.

His arrest was not part of the high-profile sex crime investigation Operation Yewtree, which was set up in the wake of revelations about BBC presenter Jimmy Savile.

[22] Fox's trial was the first high-profile sexual abuse case to be decided by magistrates, rather than a jury, since the Savile scandal.
