Lawyers for Cherie Blair confirmed they have issued a claim on her behalf, understood to be against News Group Newspapers.

Graham Atkins, of Atkins Thomson, said: "I can confirm that we have issued a claim on behalf of Cherie Blair in relation to the unlawful interception of her voicemails."

In November, Tony Blair's former communications director Alastair Campbell told the Leveson Inquiry into press standards that he believed a story the Daily Mirror published about Cherie Blair's pregnancy in 1999 may have come from hacking.
