Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson has begun giving evidence in the phone-hacking trial.

Mr Coulson, who later became Downing Street's director of communications, is the last of seven defendants - who deny all charges against them - to take to the witness box.

The 46-year-old denies conspiracy to hack phones and conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office.

He started by telling the Old Bailey jury about his career in journalism.

Mr Coulson, of Charing, Kent, was editor of the News of the World from 2003 to 2007, having previously been co-defendant Rebekah Brooks's deputy.

He was in charge of the newspaper in 2002, when murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's phone was hacked, as Mrs Brooks was on holiday, the court has heard.

Mr Coulson, a father-of-three, resigned from the News of the World following the conviction of the tabloid's former royal editor Clive Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire for phone hacking.

He then became director of communications and planning for the Conservative Party. Following the 2010 general election he became Prime Minister David Cameron's director of communications.

He resigned from that position in January 2011 and was arrested in connection with phone hacking in July that year, before being charged in July 2012.

Mr Coulson denies one count of conspiring with Mrs Brooks, former News of the World managing editor Stuart Kuttner and others to hack phones between 2000 and 2006.

He also denies two counts of conspiring with Goodman and others to commit misconduct in a public office.
