Four years after quitting Rupert Murdoch's News Corp with a £16million pay off, Rebekah Brooks is to return to the organisation as chief executive of its UK division.

According to the Financial Times, the return of Brooks, who was cleared in last year's phone hacking trial, will likely be announced in September. Once the grande dame of Murdoch's UK operation, Brooks edited both The Sun and the now-defunct News Of The World during her first tenure.

Following the 138-day trial, the 47-year-old was cleared of all charges, with the Press Association reporting growing speculation in recent months that a return to the company was imminent.

A spokeswoman for News Corp told PA: "As we have said before, we have been having discussions with Rebekah Brooks and when we have any announcements to make we will let you know."
