Poor old Rio can't keep his infidelity private
Football star Rio Ferdinand has lost his High Court privacy action over a story in the Sunday Mirror about an alleged affair.
The Manchester United player was seeking substantial damages from MGN Ltd for misuse of private information.
The case was over an April 2010 Sunday Mirror article in which Carly Storey gave her account of their alleged relationship in return for £16,000.
The 32-year-old defender and his wife, Rebecca, have three children.
The case hinged on whether the newspaper was justified in publishing its story because the public interest was such that its Article 10 right to freedom of expression was of a greater importance than Ferdinand's Article 8 privacy right under the Human Rights Act. *#*
