And the photo which appeared in the tabloids showed Paul's mate and a girl in the front seats of the car, with Paul very much 'all on his own' in the back.

I'm sure some of my fellow posters will confirm this!

I was on media watch when this came up in the Sun Online on the 27th August 2001. The following day the lady seen with Paul Clarke came forward to explain the Sun's Error
(I can not link directly in to the article as the Sun now charges a fee for archived stories

For some reason the Sun had wanted to split the two up. They may have had their reasons, but they escape me
Going back further, there was that incident when Paul turned up at the end of the show party with an overnight bag and it was reported that it was all over because Paul trying his luck.
It was even reported in the Daily Mail

It was even said that Helen wanted to dump Paul as he would be a liability in her pursuance of a media career
Going back even further
Wake up at the back
The sister paper to the Sun, The News of the World had Paul saying hew would give Helen the heave ho, as he wanted his pick of the girls and she had served her purpose.
It happened to be the Daily Star that carried his side in the matter.
