TV host Gabby Logan and her husband will receive “substantial” damages after the Mail Online falsely reported they had been paid to promote a tax avoidance scheme to celebrity friends.
Logan and her partner Kenny, an ex-rugby player, threatened to sue the Mail’s publisher Associated Newspapers after the story appeared in February.
The company later retracted the story.
The couple have also received damages from an accountant who was quoted in it and former Sun editor Kelvin Mackenzie.
Jonathan Coad, a solicitor for the Logans, told the PA news agency the total “amounts to six figures”.
