Hugh Grant:
21 November
The actor and anti-hacking activist made more headlines in November when he accused The Mail on Sunday of hacking his phone back in 2007. He said he could not think of any other way the paper could have known about conversations with a ‘plummy-voiced’ woman that were referenced in an article. However, The Mail on Sunday said it ‘utterly refuted’ these claims.
He also accused the Daily Mail of obtaining information about the birth of his daughter from a hospital source, which, again, the Daily Mail ‘unequivocally’ denied.
