Writer and comedian Graham Linehan, best known as the creator of Father Ted, has revealed he was arrested at Heathrow Airport after flying in from the United States, over social media posts he published earlier this year.
The 57-year-old said he was detained by five armed officers after arriving from Arizona on Monday, 1 September. Writing on his Substack, Linehan claimed he was taken to a police cell and questioned about his posts on X (formerly Twitter).
