Famous chef Marco Pierre White has failed to successfully sue solicitors over claims that they had encouraged his ex-wife to intercept confidential documents during his recent divorce.

Other recent celebrity divorce news includes the pronouncement of decree nisi between Madonna and Guy Ritchie, who have apparently settled financial arrangements within their divorce proceedings.

It is understood that there will be a shared care arrangement for the younger children.

Also in the newspapers this week are reports that the wife of Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone has commenced divorce proceedings, which will no doubt include a claim in relation to the substantial financial assets of Mr. Ecclestone, estimated to exceed £2bn. The couple married in 1995 and have two children aged 19 and 24.
