BBC presenter Chris Packham says he has faced “puerile, offensive, and damaging” allegations as he began a High Court libel trial over denied claims that he misled the public into donating to a wildlife charity to rescue tigers from circuses.
The TV star and environmental campaigner is suing three men for libel over nine online articles claiming he defrauded people into donating to the Wildheart Trust charity to rescue “broken” tigers while knowing they were well looked after.
