Actor Noel Clarke has vowed to push ahead with his £10 million libel claim against The Guardian after a judge’s ruling on eight newspaper articles accusing the star of bullying and sexual misconduct against women. The 47-year-old filmmaker’s career was torpedoed by news reports in 2021 that 20 women had accused Clarke of being a serial abuser, of preying on female colleagues, and saying he was responsible for unwanted sexual contact including kissing and groping.
The former Doctor Who star was suspended by Bafta in the wake of the allegations, his film and TV projects were axed, and he was “cancelled” by the entertainment industry, the High Court was told.
