GB News presenter Dan Wootton’s legal team is writing to Carol Vorderman and former Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis over statements made by them on Twitter, according to Press Gazette.
The suspended TV host is also considering legal action against other media outlets over articles published in October last year, it was reported.
Earlier in the week, Wootton broke his silence after being reportedly cleared by the Metropolitan Police following a lengthy investigation.
Allegations were made by Byline Times about Wootton, including claims of criminal behaviour of a “sexual nature”, last summer.
Wootton said in a statement at the time that he made “errors of judgement”, he has always thoroughly denied any form of criminality.
A complaint was made to the Metropolitan Police and an investigation was carried out but he was never arrested nor charged.
