Piers Morgan: 'Heather Mills hacked Paul McCartney's phone'

Piers Morgan has reaffirmed his claim that he did not hack Paul McCartney's phone, following last week's revelations by the Beatles singer.

The CNN talkshow host instead transferred the blame to McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills, who recently suggested that Morgan could be guilty of looking into her voicemail.

The former Daily Mirror editor told Conan O'Brien: "Paul McCartney is apparently now claiming someone hacked his phone.

"I kind of thought when Heather Mills poked her head up above the parapet, the whole thing got completely ridiculous.

"I suspect it was Mills because in the divorce, if you study the divorce papers, Paul McCartney accused Heather then of hacking into his phones and passing information to the papers."

Morgan concluded: "Heather Mills is not the best person to be throwing any dynamite at anyone on this. It's a bit annoying - I'm hacked off."

Since the allegations, MPs have pressured Morgan to return to the UK in order to answer questions over the phone hacking scandal.
