Hugh Grant Accuses Mail On Sunday Of Hacking

Actor Hugh Grant has said he suspects his voicemail messages were hacked by The Mail on Sunday.

:: Watch live coverage of the Leveson Inquiry this week on Sky News HD, iPad and online, which will stream live pictures and host a live blog with tweets from the hearing.

He told the Leveson Inquiry there was "no conceivable" way a story the newspaper published in 2007 about a Warner Brothers employee could have been written without his messages being listened to.
 
Mr Grant sued the newspaper for libel over the story and won.

It is the first time the actor has implicated a newspaper not owned by Rupert Murdoch.

When pressed, the 51-year-old admitted he did not have solid proof of any wrongdoing, but added: "I would love to hear what the [Mail on Sunday's] explanation of that is, if it wasn't phone hacking."

His comments come as part of his evidence about invasions into his privacy at the hands of tabloid journalists.    More
