The publisher of the Daily Mail has agreed to pay "substantial" damages to psychic Sally Morgan after an article suggested she had "perpetrated a scam" on a theatre audience, a judge at the High Court has ruled.
Associated Newspapers has apologised to Sally Morgan and also agreed to pay her legal costs.
Mrs Morgan is a psychic who had become well-known through TV and theatre appearances.
Her lawyer, Graham Atkins, had told the court: "It was following a theatre performance in September 2011 in Dublin that an article appeared in the Daily Mail which, in the context of a general attack on psychics as being charlatans, accused Mrs Morgan specifically of having used a hidden earpiece during her performance in order to receive instructions from her team which she then repeated on stage as if she had received them from the spirit world." Mrs Morgan's website said she was "overjoyed" by the result. For the full BBC online article, please see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-22988215.
