Dannii Minogue gets phone hacking payout

Dannii Minogue and her brother Brendan are a little richer today after benefiting from the News International payouts for having their phones hacked.

The Rupert Murdoch organisation settled with 19 claimants including the Minogues and paid out Millions to celebrities hacked in their phone scam.

Payouts also went to actor Jude Law, his ex-wife designer Sadie Frost, rugby star Gavin Henson and Meg Matthews, the former wife of Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher.

The court heard how friendships were destroyed because of the scam with people accusing their closest friends of leaking the information to the newspaper.

More than 800 victims were effected by the phone hacking scam.
