Comedian Al Murray backs Frankie Boyle after libel win
Comedian Al Murray has come out in support of Frankie Boyle saying "the world is getting sillier".
Frankie Boyle won £54,900 in damages after a High Court jury concluded that the Daily Mirror had libelled him by describing him as "racist".
Daily Mirror publisher Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) defended the piece "on the basis of truth and fair comment".
The comedian was talking to Newsbeat's entertainment reporter Natalie Jamieson after hosting The Q Awards.
