Lord McAlpine will seek a larger payout from ITV than the £185,000 he got from the BBC, his lawyers have confirmed.

They contacted ITV after presenter Phillip Schofield presented the prime minister with a list of alleged abusers live on the This Morning programme.

ITV said disciplinary action had been taken following the incident.

The BBC settled with Lord McAlpine over his libel claim about a Newsnight report that led to him being wrongly implicated in child abuse.

The damages, agreed 13 days after the broadcast, totalled £185,000 plus costs.

Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has launched an investigation into the incident on ITV1′s This Morning.

An ITV spokesman said: “We have received correspondence from Lord McAlpine’s representatives and we will be responding in due course.”
