You would have to bring a civil case to court and the cost can run into many £1000's and as such these cases tend to be the preserve of the rich and famous.
You would need a very strong case for a favourable court order against the accused and would need to prove you were financially compromised (through lack of earnings say) for any chance of compensation.
In the best case scenario, I don't think you could expect more than that but there's also the risk of losing the case.

Spreading rumours is extremely hard to prove. The character of rumours is that they change every time it is passed to someone else. What may have started as a completely innocent remark can become a viscious accusation by the time you hear it. How do you know it is 'him' that started it?
Try to forget it and get on with your life.

Any defamation action (slander or liable), will cost thousands. Most solicitors will want £10,000 to even start an action and suggest you budget for between £50-100,000 depending on whom your taking action against.
Only celebs, big corporate organisations or rich people can actually do anything about it.
