Former nanny apologises to David and Victoria Beckham after revealing details about their life 'behind closed doors'

David and Victoria Beckham received a High Court apology from their former nanny today over her disclosure of private and confidential information about them following her resignation.

A judge in London heard that Abbie Gibson had now agreed to give 'permanent undertakings of confidentiality' to the couple.

Their solicitor, Gerrard Tyrrell, told Mr Justice Eady: 'Ms Gibson has also agreed to the withdrawal of her claim for constructive dismissal that she made against the claimants which was issued in the Employment Tribunal in August 2005.'

Mr Tyrrell said Ms Gibson 'has unconditionally apologised to David and Victoria Beckham and their family for breaching her duties of confidence'.

He said today's proceedings against Ms Gibson resulted from the publication of a newspaper article in April 2005, captioned 'Beckhams behind closed doors'.

Mr Tyrrell said: 'Between May 2003 and March 2005, Ms Gibson was employed as the nanny to David and Victoria Beckhams' children.

'After she resigned from their employment, she gave an interview to the News of the World. In this interview, she disclosed private and confidential information about the Beckhams and their family.'
