Winslet hubby seeks pic ban

Actress Kate Winslet’s husband has asked a High Court judge to stop a tabloid newspaper from publishing photographs taken at a private fancy dress party two years ago.

Ned Rocknroll — who changed his name from Ned Abel Smith in 2008 — said there was no public interest in the Sun printing pictures taken of him at the party with an “outrageous” theme.

He argued that he was not a role model and had been a “relative nobody” prior to his marriage late last year.

Mr Justice Briggs was yesterday asked to ban publication pending any trial of Rocknroll’s complaints about privacy invasion.

David Sherborne, lawyer for Rocknroll, said the pictures of a “partly naked” Rocknroll would cause humiliation for Winslet and her children.

The Sun argues the pictures, taken from a publicly accessible Facebook profile, were already publicly available.
