Television presenter Noel Edmonds has said that he will not be paying his licence fee until the BBC stops its "threatening" manner towards those who do not pay.

Edmonds, who fronts game show Deal Or No Deal, stated that he believes the corporation thinks it can harass people for the charge.

"There are too many organisations - and the BBC is a fabulous organisation - that seem to think it's okay to badger, hector and threaten people," he remarked on BBC One's Breakfast.

"I actually cancelled my licence fee a few months ago," Edmonds added.

Currently, those who are caught evading the fee have to pay a fine of £1,000. Taking out a colour licence costs £139.50.
