Fresh questions have been raised about former British prime minister Tony Blair's links with Rupert Murdoch after it was claimed he is godfather to one of the media mogul's young children.
Blair was reportedly present when Murdoch's two daughters were baptised on the banks of the River Jordan last year.
The information emerged in a Vogue magazine interview with the News Corporation boss's third wife Wendi, the mother of nine-year-old Grace and Chloe, eight.
At the time of the ceremony, Australian actors Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman were named publicly as godparents to the youngsters.
Blair did not feature in photographs that were released.
While Murdoch's wife does not comment directly on Blair, the article identifies him as Grace's godfather and says he attended the event "garbed in white".
He is said to be one of Murdoch's "closest friends".
