News about Jeremy Vine

TV present Jeremy Vine caught a petty moment with another driver in Central London on camera. The moment shows the presenter cycling turning at a junction before a black taxi pulls out in front of him at which Vine honks his horn at the driver. The driver then pulls out his hands and signs his hand at the host and at first it is not clear what the sign was. The Radio 2 host regularly records himself cycling through the capital's congested streets on a helmet-mounted camera and shares the clips with his social media followers, often exposing drivers' bad behaviour.

Child safety campaigners in Britain today urged Ofcom to act after a bombshell report branded online game platform Roblox an 'X-rated paedophile hellscape'. The popular game in which young players create or play in virtual universes has been accused of exposing children to 'grooming, pornography and violent content'. US investment firm Hindenburg Research issued damning findings after a lengthy investigation into the controversial platform which has no set age restrictions. Now, campaigners say the report shows UK communications watchdog Ofcom must make a 'step change' as it implements then enforces the Online Safety Act (OSA). The new law is due to start coming fully into force next year, and will place new duties on social media sites for the first time. The largest and most popular, as well as those which count children among their users, are set to face the strictest rules. Platforms must put in place and enforce safety measures to ensure that users, and in particular young people, do not encounter illegal or harmful content - and if they do that it is quickly removed, with those who break the rules facing large fines.

Joey Barton has been warned he could face prison if he keeps 'harassing' Jeremy Vine after making another social media post about the broadcaster. The former footballer was accused of 'crossing the line' today by the BBC presenter's lawyers after posting a video of him wearing high heels and a series of emojis including a bicycle and a rainbow. The post was made this morning, hours before a High Court hearing in which Barton's lawyers apologised on his behalf for calling Vine a 'big bike nonce' and a 'pedo defender' on X. The pair settled the claim after Barton posted two apologies on the same social media platform and paid a total of £110,000 damages to Vine, as well as his legal costs. At the High Court on Friday, Gervase de Wilde, representing Vine, who was present in court, said in an agreed statement that Barton now recognises that he made a 'very serious' and 'untrue' allegation.

Jeremy Vine has been given an apology in court on behalf of Joey Barton after their High Court libel battle was settled. Vine had sued Barton for libel and harassment over nine online posts, including where he called the BBC Radio 2 presenter a 'big bike nonce' and a 'pedo defender' on X. The pair settled the claim after two apologies were posted by Barton on the same social media platform and a total of £110,000 damages were paid to Vine. At the High Court in London on Friday, Gervase de Wilde, representing Vine, who was present in court, said Barton now recognises that he made a 'very serious' and 'untrue' allegation. Mr de Wilde continued: 'He has made clear that he does not in fact believe that the claimant has a sexual interest in children, and wishes to set the record straight'. Enfys Jenkins, for Barton, said: 'The defendant accepts everything said on the claimant's behalf. The defendant wishes to apologise for the distress his publications caused.'

The popular online site has been accused of exposing children to 'grooming, pornography and violent content'. Hindenburg Research issued damning findings after a lengthy investigation into the controversial platform which has no set age restrictions. Roblox has become successful with young children - offering a series of different games and interactive tools, as well as the ability to create your own challenges. But a new study has raised concerns about inappropriate links which are at a child's fingertips when accessing the site.

Jeremy Vine co-host Storm Huntley has revealed she's expecting a baby girl, days after announcing her second pregnancy. Just last week the presenter, 37, and her husband Kerr Okan announced that they are expecting again. Taking to Instagram on Monday, Storm shared a video with her husband and their two year old son Otis as they stood in the woods with a confetti cannon, with the clip also shown during Jeremy's show.

Jeremy Vine co-host Storm Huntley is pregnant with her second child. The presenter, who married musician Kerr Okan in 2021, shared the news by unveiling her growing bump live on air during the show on Tuesday. Turning to the side to show off her bump, Storm shared that she was 'proud' that she was able to keep her pregnancy a secret, adding that she started to show when she was just eight weeks along.

Vanessa Feltz (right) told The Jeremy Vine Show how Al-Fayed (left) had 'made a bee line for her' at a Bar Mitzvah in 2002. The broadcaster described his approach as 'insistent' and 'menacing', recalling how it had been 'extremely difficult to extricate myself' from the situation'. Meanwhile, host Jeremy Vine recalled the billionaire offering him a Viagra after he interviewed him on Radio 2, and saying he looked 'like a man who needs it'.

Vanessa Feltz made her first TV appearance on Tuesday, just days after she was rushed to hospital in a terrifying health scare.  The presenter, 62, appeared on Jeremy Vine where she described the 'extraordinary pain' she experienced from a kidney stone over the weekend.  Vanessa said when she went to hospital she hoped the stone would be over five millimetres so that they would have to operate, saying the pain was worse than childbirth. 

Quaffing a Greggs sausage roll while watching a wannabe influencer scream 'I've got a text!' across a swimming pool might not be go-to British culture, but it's what the UK is all about - according to TikTok anyway. From iconic lip syncs from TOWIE to treasured clips of Gail Platt from Coronation Street , a new trend is taking the internet by storm and promoting some lesser known British traditions all around the world. Britcore - or British core - is a trending hashtag gaining TikTok users millions of views for the most mundane aspects of British life. Gen Zers are stacking up the views for clips of them simply doing a Tesco shop or reacting to their favourite TV shows - from Love Island to Eastenders. It may not be the Houses of Parliament or Madame Tussauds, but young influencers are bigging up nipping out for a cheeky Greggs or doing voiceovers to classic UK sitcoms such as Miranda - such fun!

The landlord of an alcohol free pub has boasted about booming profits despite claims it would flop on opening 12 months ago. Recovering alcoholic Sam Watson (left) set up the Dry Dock, in Dorset, because he felt there was nowhere to socialise without drinking. The boozer launched in Weymouth last August promising to be a pub without the alcohol and, less controversially, without the resulting hangover.

Vine, who hosts a show on BBC Radio 2, said bosses should confirm if they tried to establish whether Edwards was guilty of any crimes after the veteran presenter's arrest on 'suspicion of serious offences' in November. The corporation knew of the disgraced star's arrest at the time, but continued employing him until the broadcaster resigned on medical advice in April. The avid cyclist claimed the BBC would not be able to justify paying the 62-year-old his salary while he was suspended if Edwards had admitted his crimes to them.

Katie Price broke her silence on Friday after her former dressage trainer Andrew Gould was called up to the Paris Olympics.  Andrew - who was at the centre of the model's divorce from singer Peter Andre in 2009 after pictures emerged them on a boozy night out - was called after Charlotte Dujardin was suspended for whipping a horse.  Wading in on the news during an appearance on Jeremy Vine, Katie, 46, praised 'deserving' Andrew and said it was 'brilliant' he made the team and admitting the  footage of Charlotte was 'shocking.' 

The Radio 5 presenter was amongst a group of male BBC bigwigs who were falsely named after it emerged that a presenter had allegedly paid for explicit photographs. In reality, Huw Edwards , who resigned from his role at the cooperation on medical grounds earlier this year, was the subject of the claims. His identity, however, was only revealed after days of fierce speculation online that suggested Campbell, along with Gary Lineker , Jeremy Vine and Rylan Clark could be the individual behind the report.

Kamala Harris won't be the woman to win the US election this year, according a 'Mystic Veg' psychic, who has predicted that the next president will instead be Michelle Obama. Jemima Packington from Bath, goes by the name of Mystic Veg, and uses the power of the plant to make predictions about the future. Speaking on behalf of her observations from a bunch of asparagus, Jemima predicted last week that 'a lady' will win the US election in November later this year, confirming on ITV 's Lorraine on Tuesday that it will be Michelle Obama to take office. Last week, the asparagus psychic went viral after she appeared on Jeremy Vine 's Radio 2 morning segment where she asked the vegetable who was going to win the US election.

The US president, 81, announced he would not stand for election yesterday after coming under increasing pressure over his cognitive decline. Shortly after the announcement, the BBC Radio 2 presenter took to X to compare the 'bad day' Mr Biden was experiencing with the aftermath of the fatal crash that killed his wife, Neilia, 30, and one-year-old daughter Naomi, in December 1972. He wrote: 'A bad day for @JoeBiden - but this one, in 1972, must have been worse. Soon after he was first elected Delaware senator in Nov'72, a car crash killed his wife and infant daughter and badly hurt his two young sons. He was sworn in at their bedside in hospital.'

BBC presenter Jeremy Vine is the latest star to facing a court battle over a tax bill, Mail Online can reveal. The HMRC is chasing the broadcaster for income tax and National Insurance contributions on money he earned from the BBC between 2013 and 2015. During this period, he was paid through his own personal service company Jelly Vine Productions for work on Radio 2, election coverage, Eggheads and Points of View. While this type of set up is legal, the taxman has in recent years been going after stars who have been paid this way. The HMRC believes that these performers were in effect employees and so payments should have been made for income tax and National Insurance.

A few major channels suffered gaffes early on in the night including GB News which displayed a graphic that showed the Tories were down to win 410 seats with Labour on 131 - a landslide in the wrong direction. The BBC had a few technical blunders, with its swing-o-meter appearing to break as Jeremy Vine presented from Cardiff, while a green screen failure made it seem as though Sophie Raworth and Jon Kay were floating heads. Yet the strangest reaction by far came from the Sky News studio, who could be heard making some unusual noises as Labour's predicted majority of 170 flashed up on screens.

The General Election is finally here! After five torturous weeks of scandals, absurd pledges, painfully staged photo-ops and Ed Davey belly flops, the campaigns are officially over. To celebrate the count, MailOnline has devised a devilish drinking game that will ensure by the time 7am rolls around tomorrow you'll neither know or care who's currently in power.

Storm Huntley has revealed her hopes of appearing on the new series of Strictly Come Dancing later this year. The TV favourite, 37, who presents her own early morning show on Channel 5, said she would 'love' to follow in colleague Jeremy Vine's footsteps after he competed in the BBC competition way back in 2015.  Telling The Sun: 'I mean, who would pass up the chance to learn how to dance properly?' before quipping she'd ask a Strictly pro before Jeremy for dancing advice.

The 38-year-old presenter was forced to frantically start smacking the vehicle as it slowly backed towards him during a trip through central London. Greg James's near-miss was caught on camera by cycling fanatic Jeremy Vine, who shared the footage on his X account online. In the clip, James - wearing a blue shirt and helmet - can be seen attempting to pass behind the van before being forced to scramble out of the way as it starts to reverse. Veteran broadcaster Vine is then heard confronting the driver, saying: 'Oh God, for f*** sack. What the hell man, It's the guy from Radio 1. You can't back into Greg James.'

Barton, 41, took aim at former Chelsea and England star Aluko and co-commentator Lucy Ward over their coverage of the FA cup third-round clash between Crystal Palace and Everton in January this year. In a post on X, he wrote:  'How is she even talking about Men's football. She can't even kick a ball properly. Your coverage of the game EFC last night, took it to a new low. Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward, the Fred and Rose West of football commentary.' Barton later tweeted: 'On reflection, I feel I've been a tad harsh on Eni Aluko by comparing her to Rose West. 'She's clearly in the Joseph Stalin/Pol Pot category. She's murdered hundreds of thousands of football fans ears in the last few years. Meritocracy Rules!' The Sun reported today that Aluko has lodged documents at the High Court, officially filing a new defamation case against the controversial former manager.

An unexpected attraction has sprang up in the leafy Sheffield suburb of Waterthorpe where sightseers are gathering to catch a glimpse of the area's infamous 'half tree.' The Fir Tree has been at the centre of a three year long dispute between two warring families in the area. Bharat Mistry and his family were left gutted in 2021 when their neighbours Irene and Graham Lee sliced half the branches off the 16ft fir that had stood outside their homes for for 25 years. The Lee family took the drastic decision supposedly because birds had been nesting in there and damaging their driveway with droppings.

Joey Barton will have to pay a further £35,000 in damages to settle a High Court libel claim with Jeremy Vine on top of a £75,000 payment, the broadcaster's solicitors have said. Barton published a post on X, formerly Twitter , on Tuesday stating he had agreed to pay Mr Vine £75,000 and his legal costs for several allegations he made on the platform. They included calling the presenter a 'bike nonce', with Barton admitting the accusations were 'very serious' and 'untrue'. Later on Tuesday, Mr Vine said the payment only related to five of ten posts that a High Court judge ruled could defame him and that the payment was 'not the final outcome' of the case. In a statement, Mr Vine's lawyers, Samuels Solicitors, said Barton would pay a further £35,000 as part of a 'separate settlement' for claims published after Mr Vine took legal action.
