Yes, I'd say the business reporting community would leak such information before, or at the same time any deal, secret or otherwise had been made. I'm sure Chrysalis will be able to clarify the situation when he chats with his/her sister again.
It's worth poining out too, that Centrica would have needed to invest heavily considering that the current ntl share price is trading around the $70 mark
