Phone Hacking: Parlour Worker 'Warned Rooney'

Wayne Rooney was told to "pull his hat down" and leave a massage parlour to avoid ruining his career, jurors in the phone-hacking trial have heard.

Details of the footballer's alleged visits to the Liverpool parlour emerged as the Old Bailey was shown newspaper reports about his "suggested use of prostitutes" in 2004.

Notes made by private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who has admitted phone hacking for the News Of The World, showed the England international was among the celebrities he targeted, the court was told.

The Duchess of Cambridge appeared on Mulcaire's "target evaluation" list, while the personal details of actress Angelina Jolie, chef Delia Smith and model Abi Titmuss featured in his notebooks, prosecutors said.

The jury heard that pages from the notebooks contained information about Rooney's mother and a beauty consultant at Harrods called Laura Rooney, who is not related to the footballer.

Patricia Tierney, a receptionist at the massage parlour who was wrongly reported as having taken money for sex with Rooney, told the court that the Manchester United star had visited the property "with a number of other males".

When he returned on his own, she said, she "pushed him into a room" and told him to "pull his hat down and get out before he was destroyed and his career was over".

The story about Rooney first appeared in the Daily Mirror and was later chased by The Sun.

Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks, 45, of Churchill, Oxfordshire, and ex-News Of The World editor and spin doctor Andy Coulson, also 45, from Charing, Kent, are among those on trial at the Old Bailey.
