New Premiership footballer granted gagging order to guard off-pitch exploits

By andrew

The Sun today reports on the case of another Premiership footballer granted a gagging order preventing it from publlishing details of his alleged affair with model Kim West.

The paper claims the player ‘called in lawyers after we snapped him on his doorstep giving Kim West a kiss after a night of passion”.

Meanwhile the Daily Mail front page today detailed a celebrity wrongly rumoured to have taken out a privacy injunction – Gabby Logan.

Mother-of-two Mrs Logan became a victim of the privacy row after a judge granted an unprecedented worldwide gagging order to a married television star, permanently banning publication of pictures of him with a woman.

Internet and Twitter gossips seized on the entirely false idea that the BBC sports presenter has had an affair with pundit and former England football captain Mr Shearer.
