And the news just keeps getting better as Chris Packham wins the libel claim against Country Squire Magazine.
Chris Packham has won his libel claim against a website that alleged he misled people into donating to a tiger rescue charity.
The claim was defended by editor Nigel Bean and proof reader Paul Read.
Mr Justice Saini ruled in Chris's favour against Mr Wightman and Mr Bean, but dismissed the one against Mr Read.
"Mr Packham did not commit any acts of fraud or dishonesty," the judge said in his 58-page judgment.
"Mr Packham did not lie and each of his own statements was made with a genuine belief in its truth.
"There was no fraud of any type committed by him in making the fundraising statements."
During the trial Mr Packham said he had been targeted because of his "deeply held views" about blood sports.
Mr Wightman and Mr Bean were ordered to pay £90,000 in damages to Chris.
What a wonderful day!
Trust Mr Wightman and Mr Bean have deep pockets.
Mr Packham has said that money, when it arrives, will be going to wildlife charities ❤️❤️
