On page 178 of Blood Relations Wilkes explains that SC was referred for a breast augmentation and had the operation in 1981 to help her get more modelling work, I find this very odd, I believe that now unless there are clear medical grounds you have to have psychological evaluations.

Why??? I'm not sure though it was the most advisable thing for a young woman with mental health problems although presumably at the time it was seen as a solution to her low self esteem and insecurities although the book does state i twas to get more work.

Interestingly though, Sam Fox was obviously famous for just the sort of photos that The Sun would have wanted!

Back to the book - the trial has started and the tactics of both the prosecution and defence have been called into question really, while the family have been described in a relatively bad light. JB is made out to be arrogant but also a bit of a prankster, I wonder if his posturing was a prank that backfired. On a technical note, the chronicling of the trial so far has had snippets of testimony but it is difficult to know where they came from and whether or not they are correct

No it hasn't, but I haven't read it yet so it's hard to converse about it.

You will enjoy reading this book, Mertol, as it gives a lot of background information that other books miss.

Keira Colin s book i feel was not written in one go, there does seem to be intervals in its structure, so yes i will await these alternative versions.

Mertol - are alternative versions of Colin's book being released? Sorry don't know if that is what you mean or not.
