A Miller’s Tale
‘WHILE Anthea Turner sits on a Mauritius beach and selflessly does her bit for the Indian Ocean tourist industry, the Sun wonders how best to press on after the recent devastation.
| ”Wonder what Anthea Turner’s up to?” |
And it seems to be in two minds.
On the papers front-page, the horrors of recent days are now distilled into one unbearable truth: TV CHARLIES MUM FEARED DEAD.
The TV Charlie is TVs Charlie Dimmock, and the sad news is that her mother, Susan Kennedy, has not been heard from since the tsunami struck the Thai resort of Phuket where she and her husband had been staying.
While this is an awful tragedy for the braless TV gardener, it helpfully gives the Sun something to tell readers who like their disasters to come with a celebrity element.
But for those who cant make sense of any of it, even with Dimmocks input, the papers other front-page news is that Jude Law is all set to marry Sienna Miller.
Which means that before we get to Dimmocks beloved mum sensitively splashed over the papers pages six and seven, we get Sienna and Jude on pages four and five.
There, we hear Sienna say: Its all very exciting. And hear from a pal who says the bride-to-be cant stop smiling and that the engagement is now official.
But to keep things in context, and sticking with the Indian Ocean theme, we also hear that Jude took his children to the Seychelles on Boxing Day to tell them that daddy is marrying a new mummy.
And as soon as we have learnt of the nippers reaction to that news and their views on the regions turmoil, the Sun will let us know…’
