Actress Shobna Gulati (pictured, Shutterstock) has told the High Court that phone-hacking led to her son being bullied at school.

Gulati, who played Sunita Alahan in Coronation Street, became emotional as she gave her evidence.

She told Mr Justice Mann that her phone started to be hacked from 2003, two years after she joined the soap opera, and at one point she wrote to the Press Complaints Commission after an article appeared in the Sunday Mirror about her "secret marriage".
