Actor gives evidence alleging Associated Newspapers Ltd used services of convicted phone hacker
The actor Sadie Frost has said she had “a price put on my head” by the publisher of the Daily Mail, as she accused it of repeatedly using information secured from her private calls and sensitive personal records.
Appearing in the high court, Frost said she was horrified by an email suggesting a Mail on Sunday journalist had confirmed to a convicted phone hacker that he was interested in information about her.
Frost is one of seven people alleging that Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL) used unlawful information gathering to secure stories about them. Prince Harry has already given evidence, as has the actor Elizabeth Hurley.
The other claimants are Doreen Lawrence, the mother of Stephen Lawrence, who was killed in a racist murder, Sir Elton John and his husband, David Furnish, and the former Liberal Democrat MP Simon Hughes.
