FORMER footballer Joey Barton has been ordered to pay more than £200,000 of broadcaster Jeremy Vine's legal costs after their libel battle. The BBC Radio 2 presenter, 60, had sued for libel and harassment over posts on X falsely calling him a 'big bike nonce ' and a 'paedo defender'. 2 2 The pair settled last year as Barton, 42, posted two apologies on X and paid £110,000 in damages. A court hearing in London yesterday heard Barton had agreed to pay £160,000 of Vine's costs. But Vine wanted a further £60,000 for costs over negotiating that sum. Suzanner Holmes, for Barton, said that the request was 'excessive'. She said it should be reduced.

Joey Barton to pay more than £200k of Jeremy Vine's legal fees in libel case after calling BBC and Channel 5 star a 'big bike nonce' and a 'pedo defender'
Former footballer Joey Barton will pay more than £200,000 of Jeremy Vine 's legal costs for a High Court libel battle after the pundit labelled the cyclist a 'big bike nonce' and a 'pedo defender', a court has heard. Vine sued Barton for libel and harassment over several online posts, including one in which he falsely called the BBC Radio 2 presenter a 'pedo [sic] defender' on X, formerly Twitter. The pair settled the civil claim last year after Barton posted two apologies on the same social media platform and agreed to pay a total of £110,000 in damages to Vine, as well as his legal costs. In an agreed statement read out at the High Court in October last year, barrister Gervase de Wilde, for Vine, said that the broadcaster 'was deeply alarmed, distressed and upset' by Barton's actions, which included a 'persistent and highly damaging campaign of defamation, harassment and misuse of private information'. On Tuesday, a specialist costs court heard that Barton - who was once capped by England, playing just 17 minutes - had agreed to pay £160,000 of Vine's costs from the main legal action. Costs Judge Colum Leonard also ordered Barton to pay a further £43,172.30 arising from the negotiation of the £160,000 figure, meaning he will pay a total of £203,172.30 of Vine's costs following the legal action. Lawyers for Vine told the High Court in May last year that Barton's posts amounted to a 'calculated and sustained attack'. Barton - who played for teams including Manchester City, Newcastle United, Rangers, and French side Marseille during his career - also began using '#bikenonce' on X, which led to it trending on the platform. Barton, 42, has apologised for his comments on social media, releasing a post on X After Mrs Justice Steyn ruled that some of the posts could defame Vine, Barton apologised to the journalist in June last year, stating that the allegations he made were 'untrue'. Among the posts shared included Barton publishing Vine's home address and a video of him in heels, with the caption: 'Nothing to see here'. He said that he would pay Vine £75,000 in damages, but solicitors for Vine later said Barton would pay a further £35,000 as part of a 'separate settlement' for claims published after legal action began. Mr De Wilde told the October hearing that Barton made four undertakings as part of the settlement, including not to harass Vine or encourage others to do so. Vine said following that hearing that Barton 'needs to find himself a different hobby'. The hearing on Tuesday was told that Barton agreed to pay £160,000 of Vine's legal costs earlier this month, and that Vine was claiming around £60,000 in costs for negotiating that figure. Suzanne Holmes, for Barton, said this was 'excessive' and 'disproportionate', and should be reduced. Kevin Latham, representing Vine, said Barton had 'repeatedly failed to engage in proper negotiation' throughout proceedings and 'has to bear the consequences of that approach'.

Celebrity Catchphrase star loses £25k jackpot after agonising blunder - but can YOU rumble the riddle that tripped them up?
A Celebrity Catchphrase star lost out on the £25k jackpot after making a terrible blunder - but can you rumble the riddle that tripped him up? The hit ITV show has always led with the 'say what you say' mantra, but as members of the public and more recently, celebrities have found out, it isn't as easy as it sounds. During the latest instalment of the show, which is hosted by Stephen Mulhern, 48, impressionist and comedian Luke Kempner, 38, made it to the Super Catchphrase. After whizzing through the first few catchphrases, Luke took on the starred number 11 in the hopes of doubling the money of his co-stars Charlie Hedges and Jeremy Vine. He secured number 11 easily, but things began to unravel when he got to the £25,000 catchphrase. The scene on screen revealed Mr Chips doing sit-ups next to an apple core with muscular arms lifting weights. The hit ITV show has always led with the 'say what you say' mantra, but as members of the public and more recently, celebrities have found out, it isn't as easy as it sounds Luke took a wild guess and said, 'working on his guns' before struggling to think of anything else. He then made a pass and moved onto the only other option on that level, but he sadly ran out of time after he was unable to get that one right too - but can you guess the riddle? Following his blunder, Luke left the show with a respectable £10,000 for his charity and also doubled Charlie and Jeremy's earnings for their respective charities. However, ahead of leaving, Stephen revealed what catchphrases Luke got incorrect or missed out on. He revealed that the gym scene represented 'core strength' as the scene played out an apple core working out - but did you get it right? Stephen also revealed that the final clip Luke missed was, in fact, 'understudy', which left the comedian kicking himself. Earlier in the episode, Stephen was left red-faced after giving away an answer to a question. A scene showed a man going into a coffee shop with rapidly increasing price tags until they burst through the ceiling, and Stephen declared: 'Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!' Luke took a wild guess and said, 'working on his guns' before struggling to think of anything else and passing on the catchphrase - but can you work it out? Following his accidental outburst, the contestants then stood in silence for a second as an embarrassed-looking Stephen clocked what he had said. Jeremy eventually broke the silence by pressing his buzzer and jokingly asked: 'Sorry, what? Was that the answer?' Stephen embarrassingly nodded before bursting into fits of laughter alongside the audience. He admitted: 'I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!' Celebrity Catchphrase airs on Sundays at 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
