Over the last few days the Hacked Off brigade have been desperate for it to emerge that the prank call nurse had been contacted by hacks before she took her own life. Evan Harris salivated on Saturday:

Good question. Anyone know? RT @ChristinaMaroc do we know if our press were hassling Jacintha Saldanha?

Tom Watson even went as far as directly accusing journalists of “spooking” the woman, despite the fact they did not know her name:

Ask yourself how many reporters spooked that poor, poor woman? It wasn't irrelevant at all Jim Dowd: http://t.co/LFgZPBPa

Now the Press Complaints Commission have poured water on the press-haters’ wet dream. Lord Hunt told MPs earlier:

MP: “Was nurse hounded by press before she took her life?”
LH: “I don’t think so”

Yet another one in the eye for Watson. He’s not having a good run of it lately…
