GRANT WINS GO-AHEAD FOR TRIAL OVER SUN PHONE-TAPPING CLAIMS

ACTOR Hugh Grant’s claims of blagging, unlawful newsgathering, and phone tapping against the Sun newspaper will go to a full High Court trial, a judge has ruled.

The 62-year-old star believes he was illegally targeted between 1995 and 2011, with journalists allegedly using private investigators to tap his phone. Grant even claims the Sun ordered the burglary of his flat.

The trial is set for January 2024. The Sun denies wrongdoing.
