THE BBC has agreed to pay Sir Cliff Richard nearly £1 million to cover his legal costs following his landmark privacy case.
The Summer Holiday singer had already been awarded £210,000 in damages by a High Court judge who ruled that the corporation had breached Sir Cliff's privacy in its reporting of a police raid of his Sunningdale home in 2014.
The BBC has now agreed to pay the star a further £850,000 to cover his legal costs.
The raid on his home, which Sir Cliff has since sold, was part of an investigation into historic child sex allegations, but he was never charged or arrested.
