Steve Coogan settles phone hacking case

Comendian Steve Coogan says he is relieved to be over the "stress" of the past few years of fighting a civil case against News International over the hacking of his voicemails.

Steve Coogan, along with other high-profile figures including ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne and Liberal Democrat deputy leader Simon Hughes, has settled his phone-hacking damages claims.

The High Court heard that Mr Coogan had settled his claim for £40,000.

Last month 37 other claims were settled with News International subsidiary NGN.
