The Daily Mirror issues apology to Sir Roger Moore for making stuff up
If you ever had any doubts that newspapers 'couldn't possibly make things up', then here is a rare admission from a tabloid that they did just that.
The Daily Mirror published the following statement in their newspaper and on their website:
On 16 September we published an article headed âIâve had Moore women than James Bondâ which claimed that Sir Roger Moore had recently spoken exclusively to The People and made comments to our journalist about his private life.
We now accept that Sir Roger did not give an interview to our reporter and did not make the comments that were reported in the headline.
We apologise for any distress and embarrassment our article has caused to Sir Roger Moore and we have agreed to pay him damages and legal costs.
