Barton to pay £35k more to settle libel claim with Vine

Former Manchester City footballer Barton, 41, said on Tuesday he had agreed to pay Mr Vine, 59, £75,000 plus legal costs for allegations he made on X, including calling the TV and radio presenter a "big bike nonce" and a "pedo defender".

Barton admitted the accusations were "very serious" and "untrue".

But Mr Vine said the payment related to only five of 10 posts that a High Court judge ruled could defame him, and was "not the final outcome" of the case.
