Actress Nikki Sanderson has told the High Court she was harassed by the public – including by once having her hair set on fire – due to her portrayal in papers published by Mirror Group Newspapers.
Former Coronation Street star Ms Sanderson, 39, is suing Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN) for damages, claiming journalists at its titles – The Daily and Sunday Mirror and the Sunday People – were linked to methods including phone hacking, so-called “blagging” or gaining information by deception, and use of private investigators for unlawful activities.
