Lily Allen wins 'substantial' libel damages

Her solicitor told the court the article suggested she had made various offensive remarks about the two couples in an interview she had supposedly given to a French football magazine called So Foot.

But Allen had never been interviewed by or on behalf of So Foot and "she did not make these statements attributed to her by So Foot magazine".

News Group Newspapers have agreed to withdraw the allegations, apologise, and pay Allen damages and legal costs.
