Heather Mills Claims Piers Morgan Hacked Her Phone

Paul McCartney’s ex-wife statetd on Thursday she never leaked a voicemail from McCartney begging her for forgiveness to CNN talk-show host Piers Morgan, she said the recording he has boasted of hearing was illegally hacked.

Morgan has denied consistently that he gave authorization of the use of phone-hacking in his days as a tabloid newspaper editor in Britain. He has not given an explanation for how he heard the message left on Heather Mills’ mobile phone.

The accusation has pulled Morgan into a phone-hacking scandal which has hit Rupert Murdoch’s media empire and has had wide ramifications for the entire British press.

Giving evidence to an inquiry into British media ethics, Mills said she had left a house her and McCartney shared in early 2001 after they had had a fight and shut her phone off.

The next morning she stated that she had about 25 messages on her phone, all of which seemed to have been listened to, which included one in which McCartney “sang a little ditty of one of his songs.” She stated that she had deleted the messages.

Later that day, a reporter contacted her to say he had heard the couple had a fight and that McCartney had left a message in which he was singing to her. Mills told the inquiry that this could only have come from her phone being hacked.
