PHONE data relating to actor Hugh Grant appeared in a SECOND story by the same Mail on Sunday journalist who sparked the bitter Plummygate ‘hacking’ row, Byline Investigates can reveal.
The new article also features sensitive private information about the Four Weddings… star’s former partner Jemima Khan, and her ex-husband - and serving Prime Minister of Pakistan - Imran Khan.
And like the infamous Plummygate story - which Mr Grant told the Leveson Inquiry must have been hacked from his voicemail, leading the Daily Mail to accuse him of “mendacious smears” - it relies on the language of ‘unlawful information gathering’.
Analysis of the exclusive piece by star writer Katie Nicholl, whose links to phone hackers and illegal private investigators we exposed earlier in the MailBOMB series, suggests a pattern of criminal activity surrounding her work.
The story - headlined ‘Imran: I'd take Jemima back…’ - appeared in the Mail on Sunday 18 months prior to the piece about Mr Grant’s communications with a ‘plummy voiced’ colleague, as featured last week in MailBOMB 12.
And the two stories feature three striking similarities.
ast night a spokesperson for Katie Nicholl and the Mail on Sunday said: “These claims are nonsense. As we have told you before, neither Katie Nicholl nor The Mail on Sunday have ever hacked telephones nor have they ever commissioned anyone else to do so.”
