London - Paula Yates yesterday accepted substantial, undisclosed libel damages over allegations that she deliberately and "deceitfully" became pregnant by her partner Michael Hutchence to ensnare him into a permanent relationship.
Ms Yates was present at the High Court in London to hear her solicitor, Mr Anthony Burton, tell Mr Justice Eady that she had suffered "serious injury to her reputation and has been caused acute hurt, distress and embarrassment" by publication of the allegations - taken from a book about Mr Hutchence - in the Mail on Sunday last year.
