ACTOR Ralf Little is seeking legal advice in an ongoing dispute with health secretary Jeremy Hunt over NHS figures.

The Bolton School alumnus had previously accused Mr Hunt via Twitter of lying about the state of nation’s health service during an interview with Andrew Marr.

The secretary of state challenge him to prove the accusations and agreed to meet if he could do so.

Despite a full reply from the Royle Family star, Mr Hunt has continued to refuse to meet, stating he would do a ‘ public debate when he provided evidence to back up his assertion that I deliberately misled the public on the Marr show. Am still waiting...”

Yesterday Mr Little announced he had ‘asked top legal professional’ John Cooper QC to advise him further.
