The veteran political journalist recalled an incident in which Morgan obtained a voicemail left by McCartney, in which the singer sang a Beatles song to Mills as part of an attempt to patch up their relationship.
During the meal, Wegg-Prosser asked Morgan how the Daily Mirror had obtained a story about an affair between the then England football manager Sven-Göran Eriksson and the television presenter Ulrika Jonsson, according to the court filings. The journalist told the court that he had since found an article that appeared in the Mirror and appeared to relate to that encounter. “The article quotes ‘friends’ and refers to contact between Ms Minogue and Mr Gooding,” he said.
“So I suggest he gets out of court and apologises to his family for the disgraceful invasion of privacy that he’s been perpetrating.”– which publishes the Mirror, Sunday Mirror and People – are being tested at this trial. In written submissions, he has described how the company’s intrusive reporting destroyed his relationships.
