A TV presenter has been ordered to pay 125-thousand pounds in damages over a tweet about Northern Ireland's first minister.

Dr Christian Jessen made unfounded claims that Arlene Foster was having an affair with her security detail.

The tweet was liked more than 3,500 times.

A judge at the High Court in Belfast ruled the message was an 'outrageous libel'.

He also said it affected core aspects of Mrs Foster's life.
