Jeremy Vine stuns followers saying that he is bisexual reside on TV in awkward blunder – as viewers evaluate him to Alan Partridge
Jeremy Vine stunned fans when he accidentally announced that he was bisexual in an awkward live TV blunder on Thursday.
Viewers compared him to Alan Partridge as he got confused during a discussion about etiquette with expert William Hanson.
Starting the conversation, William began: ‘I think that etiquette has to evolve. It would be ridiculous if people like me were to try and get people to do really antiquated things.
‘You are left handed,’ he said to Jeremy, ‘I noticed when you were doing your drawing.’
The host replied: ‘I’m bisexual, what does it mean when you…’

‘I don’t know if you are bisexual but you could be I don’t know Jeremy. I think you mean ambidextrous,’ William added.
Jeremy continued: ‘No, I can’t use both hands for everything.
‘I write left handed, but I would play table tennis right handed. I think that might be bi-dextrous. Well I’m not the same as bisexual.’
Laughing at the mishap on social media, viewers shared on X: ‘Lads, don’t tell Jeremy Vines that you’re ambidextrous. He might get the wrong idea’; ‘I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again….he’s more Partridge than Partridge!’; ‘It’s called being ambidextrous’;
‘Sometimes he’s not the brightest…’; ‘Jeremy Vine accidentally just said was bisexual because he writes with his left hand and plays tennis with his right.’
Last month, Jeremy was given an apology in court on behalf of Joey Barton after their High Court libel battle was settled.
He had sued Barton for libel and harassment over nine online posts, including where he called the BBC Radio 2 presenter a ‘big bike nonce’ and a ‘pedo defender’ on X.
The pair settled the claim after two apologies were posted by Barton on the same social media platform and a total of £110,000 damages were paid to Vine.

At the High Court in London, Gervase de Wilde, representing Vine, who was present in court, said Barton now recognises that he made a ‘very serious’ and ‘untrue’ allegation.
Mr de Wilde continued: ‘He has made clear that he does not in fact believe that the claimant has a sexual interest in children, and wishes to set the record straight’.
Enfys Jenkins, for Barton, said: ‘The defendant accepts everything said on the claimant’s behalf. The defendant wishes to apologise for the distress his publications caused.’
