Television doctor Christian Jessen has been ordered to pay Arlene Foster £125,000 in damages after he shared a defamatory tweet that accused her of having an extra-marital affair.

Earlier this year, Northern Ireland's outgoing First Minister had taken libel action against the celebrity medic and brought defamation proceedings against Jessen.

At the time, Jessen had made the unfounded claim that Foster - who has been married for 25 years - was having an adulterous relationship with a close protection officer.

A judge has now ruled that Christian - who is known for appearing Embarrassing Bodies and Supersize v Superskinny - pay damages as well as Foster's legal costs linked to the case.

FilMart Organizers See Silver Linings Within the Clouds Surrounding Hong Kong Market

The number of companies participating as exhibitors at FilMart 2022 is set to reach 750, compared with 680 last year.
