Sir Tom raised more than £32m for NHS Charities Together by walking laps of his Bedforshire garden during the first lockdown.

He was subsequently knighted by the Queen in July in a special ceremony at Windsor Castle.

Following the complaint made on Friday (February) 5 the suspect was arrested and charged in connection with communication offences.
