David Grant MBE secures apology from Mail Online and Metro

The Mail Online and Metro newspapers have apologised to Harbottle & Lewis client David Grant MBE over a defamatory post published on their websites.

The newspapers apologised after they wrongly included an image of former Fame Academy judge David Grant as a result of a Getty miscaption in conjunction with an article entitled Andy Carroll confirms he was sexually assaulted by former BBC dance coach Kevin Adams.

The newspapers accepted that the photograph of Mr Grant was published by mistake and have confirmed that it was promptly removed from the article and social media posts. The Mail and Metro newspapers have today published an apology to Mr Grant and have agreed to pay him damages as a mark of their regret.
