Jim Carr, father of the comedian Jimmy Carr, has won his seventh apology and settlement for defamation from a national newspaper.

The Daily Express has apologised to Carr senior for a piece by Vanessa Feltz headlined: "Jimmy Carr's dad has a lot to answer for". It falsely stated that he had been unfaithful to his wife.

Previous newspapers to publish apologies and pay damages to Carr senior include The Times, Evening Standard and Sunday Telegraph.
