Celebrity couple to sue others after NOTW victory

CELEBRITY couple Leslie Ash and Lee Chapman have settled their phone hacking claim against the News of the World — and now plan to take action against other newspapers.

The actress and the former footballer sued the now-closed Sunday tabloid over fears that it illegally listened to their voicemails while Ash was recovering from a superbug in hospital in 2004.

The couple said they were “pleased” that the claims they and their sons brought against the paper’s publishers, News Group Newspapers, and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire had been settled.
