Default Damages for Charley Uchea

Quote:
Damages for Big Brother contestant

12 hours ago

A south-east London Big Brother contestant has accepted undisclosed libel damages over a claim that she carried out a dishonest sex scam at lap dancing clubs.

Charley Uchea, who appeared in the eighth series, brought proceedings in London's High Court over a June 2007 story in the Daily Star headed "£500-a-night Charley".

Her solicitor-advocate Mark Thomson said Express Newspapers initially declined to apologise and withdraw the allegations, but it now accepted that they were completely untrue and had agreed to pay Ms Uchea damages and her legal costs. The newspaper's solicitor, John Lisners, said that it apologised unreservedly and was pleased to set the record straight.
