We've had it all wrong. For years, we thought that page three amounted to little more than the pornographic degradation of women, but it transpires that the Sun stalwart is up there with throwing yourself in front of a horse in terms of female emancipation. And it took Shell from Big Brother to inform us of this fact, while posing without her brassiere in that very paper on Monday. "Those who sneer at page three lack intelligence," she explains. "It's beautifully shot and tastefully pioneered the celebration of the female form," she continues, before suggesting that page threes should hang in the Tate. The following day, the Sun featured the gay wedding of another Big Brother contestant, Kitten, who confusingly was also a feminist - an "arch-feminist", even - but less sportingly wore all her clothes, which made her look "like a man". But, back to Shell on the politics of page three: "In many ways, it emancipated women, letting them exploit their assets, earn cash and keep control. I see it as a modern art form." By which fuzzy logic, Ms Jubin, you'll also be classing prostitution as a modern art form, will you?
