[Belfield is also said to have encouraged his
supporters to make hoax calls to
Vine's Channel 5 TV and BBC Radio 2 shows,
accused Vine of appointing his '10-year-old daughter'
as a director of one of his companies in a
bid to dodge paying tax, and tried to
obtain private phone numbers for his family members.]
[Belfield denies stalking the 57-year-old,
and seven other alleged victims,
claiming he is the subject of a 'witch hunt'.
Vine also told Nottingham Crown Court
that he had not been aware of Belfield
until the 42-year-old said from
a broadcasting studio that he liked
to watch a female weather presenter
on his leather sofa,
'naked and with a box of tissues handy'.]
Jeremy Vine has begun giving evidence

presenter Alex Belfield

[Vine told the court: 'We are dealing with
serious criminality here.
This is not a regular troll.
This is the Jimmy Savile of trolling.
Every reference to him makes my flesh creep.
All he does is lie.'
The court heard Vine even had to put
up a picture of Belfield in his hallway
and warn his 13-year-old daughter to be
on her guard while on the street - causing
her to burst in tears.]

He is doing this while having a week

Leaving a Ch5 news presenter in his place.
