Kate Winslet 'delight' over libel case win

Academy Award winner Kate Winslet has won a legal battle against a British newspaper over a story about her exercise regime.


The actress said she is 'delighted' to win a payout of about US$40,000 from the Daily Mail over an article that said she lied about her regime.


In a statement, the 33 year-old mother of two said: "I strongly believe that women should be encouraged to accept themselves as they are, so to suggest that I was lying was an unacceptable accusation of hypocrisy.


"I am delighted that the Mail have apologised for making false allegations about me.


"I was particularly upset to be accused of lying about my exercise regime and felt that I had a responsibility to request an apology in order to demonstrate my commitment to the views that I have always expressed about body issues, including diet and exercise."


In January, Winslet told reporters she was going 'easy' on herself and not exercising at all during the hectic awards season.


She has frequently stated women should be proud to accept how they look, so when the Daily Mail ran the report, which her lawyers claimed was 'misleading the public' she insisted she had to act.


In the London High Court in London, the Daily Mail accepted the allegation made in the January 30 story - headlined 'Should Kate Winslet win an Oscar for the World's most irritating actress?' - was false and has agreed to publish an apology and pay not only damages but also her legal costs.
