Jeremy Vine is suing Joey Barton after the loudmouth ex-footballer called him a 'big bike nonce' in a social media outburst.
Gervase De Wilde KC, acting for Mr Vine said: 'I don't propose to open the case, but Mr Barton has been publicising this case inaccurately on his X account.Joey Barton is facing a libel action after calling Mr Vine a 'big bike nonce' in a post on social media Mr Barton, 41, used the term 'nonce' to describe Mr Vine in posts on X between January 6 and January 11, and refers to notorious paedophiles including Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile.
Mr De Wilde added: 'The fact that Mr Barton might think it is acceptable or even funny in terms of attacking someone does not mean they cannot have a defamatory meaning. He chooses the one toxic word to do so which means paedophile.' On January 19, he wrote: 'More has come to light about poor, little Eni Aluko. Dad was a Nigerian Senator. Dodgy money. Ran to England. Massive house in Wentworth. 3 Rolls Royce's . St Mary's in Ascot private education. Lawyer. Race card player.'
