Noel Clarke, who rose to fame in the early 2000s, has lost his libel case against Guardian News and Media (GNM), and a High Court judge ruled that he was not a credible witness.

On Friday a High Court judge dismissed his libel case against GNM, finding that its reporting of allegations of misconduct, including bullying and sexually inappropriate behaviour, was both true and in the public interest.
