adminpremiership, won libel damages yesterday over newspaper claims she would reveal sex secrets about the Blairs in a book.
Carole Caplin, Cherie Blair’s former lifestyle adviser, was awarded substantial damages from the Daily Mail.
An article, headed “Carole’s £1m question: Will she tell all about the Blairs’ sex secrets?”, was published in September 2010, the Press Association reported.
“It was claimed that Ms Caplin had insisted that Mrs Blair tell her every last detail of their sex life and that publication of these revelations would blow the lid on the Blairs’ marriage and finish them,” her lawyer David Price said.
Price told London’s High Court Caplin had never had any intention of disclosing any confidential information about the couple, nor was in financial difficulty as the article suggested.
Caplin became a well-known figure because of her friendship with Cherie Blair which led to one of the biggest controversies of her husband’s 10 years in Downing Street. – Reuters.
