Joey Barton has agreed to pay Jeremy Vine £75,000 plus his legal fees and issued a grovelling apology for comments he made about the TV and radio presenter on social media.
Last month, a High Court judge ruled that 11 of Barton’s comments about Vine on X (formerly Twitter) were defamatory. In the posts, Barton called Vine a ‘big bike nonce’ and a ‘pedo defender’.
