A woman who worked in a pharmacy in Sandhurst military academy has pleaded guilty to selling stories to the Sun.

Tracy Bell, 35, from Goldthorpe in South Yorkshire, has been charged with committing misconduct in a public office and will be sentenced at a later date.

Bell, who was employed by the Ministry of Defence as a pharmacy assistant at Sandhurst Medical Centre, is said to have accepted payments totalling £1,250 between October 2005 and July 2006 for five articles published in the Sun about Sandhurst.

She was charged in April and pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey on Friday.
