The People yesterday ran an interview with the mother of Imogen Thomas in which she revealed her daughter apparently "carries a rape alarm at all times" because she fears public confrontation over an alleged affair with a married footballer. We were then told of Thomas: "Her confidence has gone completely... Her hair is falling out."
Then today the Daily Star claims to have its own Imogen Thomas "EXCLUSIVE" (screenshot, pictured right) which sounds more than a little familiar, for an "exclusive".
Updated: This post orginally made reference to a number of "scantily clad" photoshoots Imogen Thomas has recently done with tabloid newspapers and the bookmaker Paddy Power. These were mentioned because of the effect they have had in fanning the flames of publicity around a story which was apparently causing some distress for Thomas. However, a couple of readers have criticised mention of her attire and said the comments were sexist. This certainly wasn't the intention and we apologise to anybody who read it that way.
This post was intended to highlight the Daily Star's misleading use of the word "EXCLUSIVE". As such, we have removed the above remarks so as not to confuse the point being made, or cause any further inadvertent offence.
And of course she doesn't want to have people being kept reminded of the whole affair ...
