'Substantial' damages for Katona after 'prostitute' claim

TV personality Kerry Katona today accepted substantial undisclosed damages over a claim that she worked as a prostitute before becoming famous.

The 27-year-old former Atomic Kitten and mother-of-four was not at London’s High Court for the settlement of her libel action against MGN Limited, which involves the payment of a five-figure sum and her legal costs.
