According to a report via the Daily Mirror, Maguire has now spoken about the incident for the first time and insisted the line has been crossed after his family was threatened.

“There is a line where we are human beings, I do have a family. People ask if it affects me. My mentality is that it doesn’t affect me too much but when it comes to bomb threats, it is more about family.”
