Vanderpuije, 47, withdrew her tribunal claims after ITN and Channel 5 agreed to pay her an undisclosed sum, with no admission of liability.
The case, which included allegations of unfair dismissal, discrimination, and harassment, was formally dismissed by a London tribunal judge following the agreement.
Both ITN and Channel 5 continue to deny the claims, expressing relief at the resolution, while Dan Walker stated he felt he should not have been involved.
