News International is expected to face at least 230 new compensation claims from alleged victims of News of the World phone-hacking, including former England footballer Sol Campbell.

Other new claimants include former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona, her ex husband Brian McFadden, formerly of boyband Westlife, and The Apprentice contestant Ruth Badger.

The names were revealed at a high court case-management conference overseen by Mr Justice Vos on Friday, during which it emerged that 68 new civil claims for phone-hacking damages have now been lodged.

Hugh Tomlinson, QC, representing phone-hacking victims, also told the high court that 395 people had now applied for disclosure of phone-hacking evidence from the Metropolitan police and up to 40 more claims were expected to be lodged by the deadline set by Vos of next Friday, 14 September.

Tomlinson added that in addition, 124 phone-hacking claims have been accepted into the News International compensation fund.

He said he believed the total number of new claims will be "somewhere under 300". The numbers for expected civil claims and people applying separately to the compensation scheme revealed at the high court on Friday suggests the final figure will be at least 230.

These claims are in addition to more than 50 civil cases settled by News International earlier this year with victims including actors, Jude Law and Steve Coogan, singer, Charlotte Church, former deputy prime minister John Prescott and Sara Payne, the mother of murdered schoolgirl Sarah.

It was also alleged at the high court on Friday that the News of the World hacked into the phone of a prominent criminal barrister, Kirsty Brimelow, who has acted in rape and murder trials, and Robin Winskell, a sports lawyer who has acted for premiership footballers in disciplinary trials, Fifa arbitrations and libel cases.

Also taking action against News International is Tony Iles Blackmore, the uncle of Nadine Milroy Sloan, the woman who falsely accused former Tory MP Neil Hamilton and his wife Christine of sexual assault. His wife Gillian's phone was also allegedly hacked.

Robbie Williams's ex-girlfriend Lisa Brash and Observer journalist Daniel Boffey are also listed as claimants, along with three other individuals – the model James Burke, and Susan Kirkham and Zoe Williams. John Blake, the former People editor who now publishes celebrity books, has also put in a claim.

Friday's case-management hearing was the eighth organised by Vos to manage the final round of civil litigation over News of the World phone hacking.

The judge had originally pencilled in February as the date for these cases to go to trial, but this has now been put back to some time after May because of a potential clash with criminal proceedings involving former News International executives, including Rebekah Brooks, who was chief executive and Andy Coulson, who was the editor of the News of the World.
