In recent days, social media has been rife with speculation as to who could be the presenter who has been suspended by the corporation after allegedly paying for sexually explicit images of a teenager. Now, Vine, 58, who hosts a Radio 2 lunchtime programme has slammed claims it may be him. Jeremy was one of the first presenters to take to social media to dismiss claims he was the man in question shortly after Rylan Clark also denied the allegations which circulated on social media. Now he has claimed he will be taking legal action against anybody who repeats the defamatory allegations. His comments come after a now-deleted Twitter account claimed Vine was the bloke in question. On Twitter, he said: "I do not know who Andy Plumb is, but a defamation lawyer advised me that what he did on Twitter yesterday is the quickest way to lose £20,000. I messaged Andy to that effect," before sharing a screenshot of a tweet to the account reading: "I've passed screenshots of your messages about me to a lawyer. They are seriously defamatory. They are completely and utterly untrue." Responding to further tweets, Vine said: "This defamatory tweet has been logged and screenshotted and I will follow up with you next week." A second saw him say: "You repeated a defamatory lie. That's libel and I will be in touch in the coming days." He went on to add: "This tweet is seriously defamatory of me. I have screenshotted it and the retweets and passed it to a lawyer. There is no truth WHATSOEVER in what you are saying." Mr Vine later responded to another social media user saying he would be reporting the tweets to a lawyer on Monday. Following days of speculation about the unknown broadcaster){kind=link}
