JOEY Barton has apologised to Jeremy Vine and agreed to pay him £75,000 after branding the star a "bike nonce".The pair had been set for a High Court showdown but Barton today revealed he has agreed to pay Vine £75,000 in damages and costs to settle the case.
Barton said: "I have agreed not to make the same allegations again about Mr Vine and I apologise to him for the distress he has suffered."Barton, 41, later retweeted a picture of Vine cycling, writing: “If you see this fella by a primary school call 999.”Vine's lawyer Gervase de Wilde previously argued the posts wrongly suggest the broadcaster has a "sexual interest in children".
"I also published posts during the same period in which I referred to Mr Vine having advocated forced vaccination during the Covid 19 pandemic, based upon a video clip of his TV programme. I accept that he did not advocate this policy and that the video clip has been edited to give a misleading impression of what he was in fact saying.
