Liz Hurley hits back at 'leak' suggestions and claims phone was bugged, during intense day at High Court
Elizabeth Hurley hit back at suggestions of "leaks" among her friends as she gave evidence in the privacy trial against the publisher of the Daily Mail - and became tearful as she spoke about the impact of articles written about her private life.
The actress and model spent about three hours in the witness box at the High Court, where she and six others, including Prince Harry and Sir Elton John, are suing Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) over allegations of unlawful information gathering. ANL strenuously denies wrongdoing and also argues the claims have been brought too late.
The allegations in Hurley's case relate to 15 articles published between 2002 and 2011. In a written witness statement submitted to the court, Hurley, 60, said the Daily Mail's alleged unlawful acts involved "tapping my phones and recording my live telephone conversations, placing surreptitious mics on my home windows" and "other monstrous, staggering things".
She said the alleged tapping of her landline was a "brutal invasion of privacy" that left her feeling "crushed". In court, she explained in front of Judge Nicklin how there had been an "avalanche" of articles written about her in the 2000s, and particularly after the birth of her son, Damian.
