From BBC News August 3rd 2011
Heather Mills has alleged a senior Mirror Group journalist admitted hacking voicemails left for her by her then-boyfriend Sir Paul McCartney.
[snip]
The journalist whom Ms Mills said contacted her is not Piers Morgan, who was the editor of the Daily Mirror at the time.
However, the message in question appears to be the same as one which Mr Morgan later admitted to listening to.
In a 2006 article in the Daily Mail, Mr Morgan referred to hearing a recorded message which Sir Paul had left for Ms Mills.
He wrote "at one stage I was played a tape of a message Paul had left for Heather on her mobile phone".
[snip]
If Ms Mills' recollection is correct, the call Mr Morgan listened to had been hacked, and a fellow Mirror Group Newspapers journalist had tried to use it to get a story.
