Actor gives emotional evidence against Associated Newspapers saying articles about her were ‘deeply hurtful’
Prince Harry v Daily Mail – live updates
Elizabeth Hurley has accused the publisher of the Daily Mail of bugging her windowsill as well as using information obtained from tapping her landline as she gave emotional evidence at the high court.
Hurley had to stop several times to compose herself as she recounted how she had been targeted by “deeply hurtful and damaging” articles.
Her claim against Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL), which publishes the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, relates to 15 articles about her between 2002 and 2011. She is part of a group of seven high-profile figures bringing the claims against the publisher, accusing it of using unlawful information gathering.
