Jose Mourinho and Chelsea agree estimated pay-off with Eva Carneiro
The former Chelsea manager (left) acted to silence 'scandalous' sexism allegations minutes before Dr Eva Carneiro (right) was due to go public with them. Mourinho and the West London club agreed a pay-off estimated to be worth £5million to Dr Carneiro, who claims he branded her a 'daughter of a whore' and a woman who did not understand football after she ran on to the pitch to treat an injured player. Last night Chelsea issued a grovelling apology to the 42-year-old - who had turned down the club's initial £1.2million offer - but Mourinho pointedly did not say sorry. The huge deal was struck as Dr Carneiro prepared to take the witness stand to make further explosive claims. She had threatened to expose embarrassing texts and emails about her time working for the 'Special One', now manager at Manchester United. Chelsea's lawyers had called her allegations 'scandalous, irrelevant and untrue'. But as the case was due to resume at London South Employment Tribunal in Croydon yesterday afternoon, the settlement was hammered out in a corridor.

Jose Mourinho and Chelsea football club have ended the employment tribunal case with ex-Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro, after agreeing on a settlement package with the doctor, just minutes before she was to climb the witness stand and expose embarrassing texts and emails sent by Jose Mourinho to her after alleging that Mourinho called her 'daughter of a whore' in Portuguese and also told her she should work for Chelsea Ladies FC and not the male football team.

Little boy covered in scales must have them scraped off his body twice a day to save his life

When Evan was born his skin was so thick he couldn't open his eyes for the first two weeks. He spent two months in newborn ICU
A five-year-old boy is battling an agonising and potentially lethal condition that causes his skin to grow at ten times the normal rate.
Evan Fasciano, from Goshen, Connecticut, was born with Harlequin Ichthyosis, a genetic disorder that leaves him with scales across his entire body.
Suffering from the severest form of the disease, Evan is at constant risk of infection - requiring him to have two baths a day so his 33-year-old mother De De can scrub off the scales.
She said: 'We're very strict with Evan's skin management, so we try to keep him scale-free, and because of that his scales tend to be very thin, so they're easier to get off.
'If we didn't bathe him twice a day then the scales would get much thicker, much faster and it would be harder to get off.
Evan Fasciano, now five, was born with Harlequin Ichthyosis, a genetic disorder that leaves him with scales across his entire body. His parents try and keep him scale free to minimise his discomfort
