Jude Law claims press knew about secret plans at phone-hacking trial

Jude Law has claimed that the press would turn up at places where he had secretly arranged to take his children, at the phone-hacking trial.

The 41-year-old actor told the jury that press attention increased when he was nominated for an Oscar in 2001, and further grew during his divorce from Sadie Frost and his relationship with Sienna Miller.

Law claimed that there seemed to be an unhealthy amount of information that people or someone had that meant they had access to his life and his whereabouts, the BBC reported.

He added that when police showed him the notes that News of the World private investigator Glenn Mulcaire held about him, he was "shocked" at the amount of information that was accumulated by them.

Former News of the World editors Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson are on trial accused of conspiracy to hack mobile phones, which they have denied.
