Thundercat due before Leveson enquiry

A CHARACTER from the 1980s children's cartoon series, Thundercats, has been asked to appear before the Leveson enquiry into phone hacking and press standards.

WileyKit is expected to tell the inquiry how she discovered her phone had been hacked in 2007, after the News of the World reported that she had been having an incestuous affair with her brother, WilyKat.

Earlier this year, another Thundercat, Lion-O, reached an out-of-court settlement with Rupert Murdoch's News International, after the News of the World erroneously reported that he and other Thundercats had conducted a campaign of bullying and sexual harassment against fellow character, Snarf.
