The BBC TV presenter Claire Balding has made a formal complaint to the Press Complaints Commission over a homophobic jibe in a review of her new TV show in the Sunday Times. The newspaper's editor defended the pejorative description of Balding as "the dyke on a bike" by his TV critic.

The Sunday Times is part of Rupert Murdoch's media empire, which also includes Fox News.
