two daughters. Vine is the patron of Radio St. Helier, a UK‐registered charity providing radio programmes to patients at St. Helier Hospital in Carshalton. Vine is a practising Anglican and attends church. He has deplored what he sees as the marginalisation of Christians in British society, saying that "You can't express views that were common currency 30 or 40 years ago". In August 2016, a car driver threatened and was abusive to Vine while he was cycling along Hornton Street in Kensington, London. Vine captured the encounter on his helmet camera, later broadcasting it on YouTube where it was viewed several million times. Vine also reported it to the police. On 18 April 2017, the car driver was jailed for nine months for threatening behaviour. In October 2021, anti-vaccine campaigners protested outside Vine's home, objecting to the BBC's coverage of COVID-19 vaccines. As Vine was not at home at the time, they presented their "anti-vaxx writ", a document without legal authority, to his wife. He later posted videos of the incident online. Vine has said he contracted COVID-19 and commented on receiving the vaccine. In February 2022, Vine was "knocked out cold for a minute or two" after falling , onto grass, from his penny-farthing bicycle. He was taken to Charing Cross Hospital where doctors told him he was "lucky to have just a black eye and some aches from the fall". In August 2022, Alex Belfield, a former BBC Radio Leeds presenter, and host of YouTube channel "Alex Belfield - THE VOICE OF REASON" was convicted at Nottingham Crown Court of stalking Vine and three others. Vine described Belfield as "the Jimmy Savile of trolling", and claimed to be subject to an "avalanche of hatred" and a "constant bombardment" of harassing tweets and YouTube videos. Vine also told the court that he feared Belfield or one of his followers would go to his home, which led him to putting a picture up of Belfield so that his family could recognise him. Vine also sued Belfield for defamation. The next month, on 16 September, Belfield was sentenced. The 'simple stalking' element relating to the case involving Jeremy Vine attracted a sentence of 13-weeks; this was added to the other sentences to provide an overall sentence of five-and-a-half years in prison.
