BBC presenter taking legal action against trolls who posted ‘twisted’ photo
Broadcaster Stephen Nolan has lashed out at internet trolls who posted a photo of him across social media. The image showed the TV and radio presenter dressed in white boxer shorts apparently on his knees on stage with a male. But it was a video grab from a TV show broadcast in November 2016 and Mr Nolan said it was “falsely used it to suggest I had been acting inappropriately in a foreign country”.

Internet trolls distorted a television image and then nastily and falsely used … [Read more...] about BBC presenter taking legal action against trolls who posted ‘twisted’ photo
