Katie Price has admitted in court that she wrongly accused ex-husband Peter Andre of having an affair with her former manager Claire Powell.
Price issued an apology admitting that the allegation she made during The Graham Norton Show, last October, was "completely untrue" and apologised "unreservedly", reports The Daily Star.
London's high court has ordered the reality star to pay Powell an undisclosed sum in compensation for slander damages.
Meanwhile, Powell said that the case was not about money.
Claire said, "It was not about the money, it was about clearing my name. The people who know me know it wasn't true, but the general public wouldn't know that. I've never done anything unprofessional with any of my clients. It was really important to me to put the record straight. It was hurtful to have those lies told about me, especially by someone who I looked after for six years and went above and beyond the call of duty for."
She added, "For someone like that to accuse you of having an affair with their ex-husband was a real shock. But if she says things like that, then she's got to pay the price. Hopefully it will have taught her a lesson."
Claire, through her company Can Associates Limited, has been the Aussie singer's PR representative for 16 years.
