Dr.Christian Jessen, the TV doctor from "Embarrassing Bodies" now faces bankruptcy after being ordered to pay Northern Ireland's First Minister £125,000 in libel damages.

In 2019, he alleged on Twitter that Arlene Foster was having an extra-marital affair. He says he only has £20,000 to his name and can't pay without the help of crowd funding. If he appeals, his legal fees could cost £300,000.

A Go Fund Me Page has raised £7,275 so far to help him pay the damages.
