Default Charley successfully sued the DailyStar for £20,000 in 2009
Quote:
The Daily Star has paid £20,000 in damages and apologised in open court after falsely claiming that former Big Brother contestant Charley Uchea carried out a sex scam at lap-dancing clubs.

Charley Uchea, who appeared in the eighth series of the Channel 4 reality show, brought the case to London's high court over a June 2007 story on the front page of the Star headlined "Big Bruv Charley's Vice Secret" with an accompanying inside story headed "£500 a night Charley".

The article falsely claimed that Uchea carried out the scam at various clubs, including Stringfellows where she worked.

The alleged scam involved falsely pretending to be willing to accept money for sex and then leaving her "clients" waiting, having stolen their cash. The story also claimed she used to steal designer clothes from West End stores.

Uchea's laywer, Mark Thomson from libel specialists Carter-Ruck, told today's hearing in front of Mr Justice Eady that the Star's publisher, Express Newspapers, initially declined to apologise or withdraw the allegations, but it had now accepted they were completely untrue and had agreed to pay Uchea damages and her legal costs.

The newspaper's solicitor, John Lisners, said it apologised unreservedly, withdrew the allegations and was "pleased to set the record straight".

Seriously?

I thought the only BB housemates to ever make a £1m+ were Craig Philips, Kate Lawler, and Jade Goody.

Mess. I'm surprised. I didn't think anyone from BB8 would make more than about £300k tbh. Especially more than people from BB7.

tbf I was surprised to see they earned that much without any head starts with a winners fee as well. I knew Samanda/Charley/Chanelle will earn the most but not that much

Charley isn't even on the list that I've linked. I don't think she made that much from BB tbh </3

Not Orlaith racking in half a million though

Yeah, I'm surprised by Nikki's amount. She was easily one of the most famous housemates post-BB7, especially in late 2006.

Yass @ Narinder being on that list

Aisleyne said she was one of the few smart ones who invested all her money into property so that's why she hasn't lost all her money yet

I think that's what Imogen has done too.

Also, Brian has probably made more than that figure on the list given he presented the show on C5 for two years.
