Katie Price and Peter Andre sued the News Of The World regarding an article in February featuring a series of damning allegations about their parenting in an interview with their former nanny Becky Gauld. The couple left the High Court in London today after being awarded undisclosed "substantial damages" and a public apology. Katie said in a statement she read for the media:
"Pete and I love our kids and would do anything for them…Anyone who has kids can imagine how it would feel to be accused publicly of being bad parents. We came here today to see that justice was done and that our names were cleared…Now that the paper has accepted the story wasn’t true, apologized to us, and paid us damages and our costs, we believe the record has been set straight and our names have been cleared."
The Sunday newspaper, published by News International, have retracted all comments made in the article.
The couple said they would split their damages between the NSPCC and Vision Charity, and the other half would be placed in a trust fund for their three chldren, Harvey, Junior and Princess Tiaamii.
