RACHEL Riley has been awarded £50,000 in damages after winning a libel claim against a pro-Corbyn blogger who called her a "serial abuser".

Ms Riley, who appears on the hit Channel 4 show Countdown, sued Mike Sivier after he published an article on his website Vox Political in January 2019.

His headline read: "Serial abuser Rachel Riley to receive 'extra protection' - on grounds that she is receiving abuse". The article discussed tweets posted as part of an online debate on antisemitism in the Labour Party.

Some of these were exchanged between Ms Riley and a user who identified herself then as a 16-year-old called Rose in December 2018 and January 2019.
