Former News Of The World editor Andy Coulson has told a jury he heard voicemail messages hacked from David Blunkett's phone.
Coulson told the Old Bailey court that the paper's then chief reporter, Neville Thurlbeck, had phoned him to say the former Home Secretary was having an affair with a married woman and he - Neville Thurlbeck - had "heard voicemail messages".
Coulson, 46, who denies a charge of conspiracy to intercept communications and two of making corrupt payments, said he was on holiday in Italy when he took the call and and his reaction was initially "shock and anger" at a "direct breach of privacy".
On Coulson's return, his former colleague went to NOTW offices to repitch the Blunkett story, saying it was in the public interest and playing the messages to try to convince Coulson of that point.
The information was revealed as the journalist's barrister, Timothy Langdale QC, asked him about the NOTW's relationship with Mr Blunkett which, Coulson said, was good.
During his third day in the witness box, Coulson said: "I was on my way to the airport to collect my brother who was coming to stay with us. I was lost, I remember that, I parked up on the side of the road to take the call.
"Neville told me he had a tip that David Blunkett was having an affair with Kimberly Fortier. He said that he believed the story was true because he heard some voicemails.
"I was shocked because he told me he had heard some voicemail messages. I was shocked that he was telling me this as well because it was in relation to David Blunkett, the home secretary.
"I was quite angry about it. I used reasonably colourful language, words to the effect 'What in earth do you think you're doing'."
Coulson told the court he told the reporter to stop the investigation.
