Latest News about Jeremy Vine
Jeremy Vine stepped aside from hosting the Carers UK Awards after facing criticism over his involvement, saying the backlash was linked to the political debates he presents on welfare and benefits. He said he was happy to let someone else take the unpaid role to avoid controversy around the event.
Jeremy Vine gave evidence in court that social media accusations made by former footballer Joey Barton put him in physical danger. He said the claims left him feeling badly attacked and described them as despicable, in a case involving offensive messages posted on social media.
Vine said he would stop posting cycling footage after years of online abuse and harassment. He explained that the negativity had started to affect him, and he no longer wanted to keep sharing videos of his interactions with drivers while cycling.
