A British newspaper group has been ordered to pay £1.2 million ($1.8 million) to victims of phone hacking.
Trinity Mirror group, which publishes the Daily Mirror, was told on Thursday it had to pay compensation to eight victims.
Sadie Frost, an actor, was paid £260,250, and ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne £188,250.
A High Court judge set the level of compensation as the eight individuals refused to settle out of court as in previous phone-hacking cases.
The Daily Mirror admitted at the start of the civil case that over 100 stories about the eight victims had been based on information gained through phone-hacking.
