MailOnline has agreed to pay Gabby and Kenny Logan “substantial damages” in relation to an article falsely claiming they had received £500,000 for promoting tax avoidance schemes to their celebrity friends and had sought to disguise the income as loans.

Statements read at the high court on Friday, said the former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie had also agreed to pay substantial damages to the BBC TV presenter and her businessman husband for a tweet he posted about the story.
