James O’Brien says he is taking legal advice following a “vile and obvious” libel made by Talk Radio host Mike Graham.

Graham posted a tweet aimed at O’Brien as the furor over Gary Lineker’s dispute with the BBC threatened to spill over.

Backlash against the BBC reached fever-pitch on Saturday after sports presenters and commentators walked out in solidarity with the Match of the Day presenter.

Football Focus and Final Score were pulled from the schedule at the eleventh hour, while players confirmed they will not give interviews to the BBC on Saturday.

Tweeting about the incident, Graham directed his ire at O’Brien and the “deranged lefties”.

Dear Mike Graham, I think you are about to get sued for every penny you own.

Responding to the tweet, O’Brien said: “I am aware of a vile and obvious libel against me made on here last night and am taking legal advice accordingly. Thank you for all your expressions of concern.”

Graham has had a turbulent ride on Talk Radio in recent years, infamously telling an Insulate Britain protestor that cement grows on trees.

He also suggested we should link hosepipes to the sea during a recent heatwave to avoid a ban.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
