Also on Friday, former MGN journalist James Hipwell told the court that phone hacking had been "endemic" at the newspaper group and he had never seen anyone display "any moral qualms" about doing it.
He recalled that BBC creative director Alan Yentob had been a regular victim.
Mr Hipwell said he had a "very clear memory" of journalists singing a line from the Spike Milligan song "The Ying Tong Song" when Mr Yentob's phone had been hacked, replacing the words "Ying Tong" with the word "Yentob".
Mr Hipwell, who received a six-month prison sentence in 2005 over the "City Slickers" share-tipping scandal, denied a suggestion by Matthew Nicklin QC, for MGN, that giving evidence to the trial was the "ultimate payback".
Mr Hipwell said: "I believe it's the right thing to do, the responsible thing to do."

The hearing at the High Court in London is considering what compensation should be paid by MGN to eight high-profile figures.The hearing at the High Court in London is considering what compensation should be paid by MGN to eight high-profile figures.
