While Coronation Street star Michael Turner, who plays Kevin Webster, spent the most time in the witness box on Monday, the court also heard from the Mirror's former group political editor, who gave evidence about his time working for the newspaper's former editor Piers Morgan.
Mr Seymour said he had"no reason to doubt the veracity" of what his colleague had told him, and said he recalled the conversation"very well" as his colleague"was so shocked".
However, Mr Seymour said that a few days after the story was published, he remembers seeing Mr Morgan and others watching a video which had been taken by a paparazzi photographer present at the time, which showed why Diana was really upset - after being"hounded up and down the street by a baying, cat-calling mob of photographers" from a number of different press organisations.
Asked by MGN's lawyer Mr Munden why he is convinced he was the victim of unlawful information gathering, the actor responded:"There just seems to be a few coincidences, let's say." During cross-examination by MGN's lawyer, Mr Turner conceded that some details included in stories he has complained about were available publicly.
He went on to say he was"mortified" that his former co-star Craig Charles, best known for starring in Red Dwarf, thought he had been leaking information.
