Rebekah Brooks' husband said he hid a bag of his pornographic DVDs because he didn't want a "Jacqui Smith moment", the phone hacking trial heard. Ms Smith became embroiled in a row after her husband submitted an expenses claim for watching porn.
Rebekah Brooks was "relieved" at finally being allowed to resign as chief executive of News International, a court has heard.
Mrs Brooks' husband Charlie said he received a phone call on 11 July 2011 from James Murdoch, who he said "now felt Rebekah should resign and not take a leave of absence".
Mr Brooks then phoned his wife to break the news, the jury heard.
"It was quite an ironic call really because Rebekah said 'Thank God for that'," Mr Brooks said.
"I think Rebekah was relieved," he said, claiming she had been suggesting her resignation since 5 July.
