Giggs relegated, after 14 days, by Daily Star

Just for the record, after 14 successive splashes involving Ryan Giggs ( see yesterday's posting ), the Daily Star relents today by running only a single column front page cross ref to an inside story, Giggs girl's fury over sex traitor . Giggs was edged out by a story involving another footballer, headlined Ashley Cole's secret love in Big Bro . This was a classic example of recent Richard Desmond journalism, because it included a reference to his TV outlet, Channel 5 . (Memo to editor Dawn Neesom : why was C5 mention delayed until paragraph two? Must do better) The story also contained this wonderful contradiction: Paragraph two: "Former lap-dancer Sarah Purnell hopes to tell all about her romps with England ace Ashley Cole on new Channel 5 show Big Brother." Paragraph seven: "Birmingham babe Sarah said: 'I want to recover my reputation. I want people to see me for who I am and not just the girl who dated Ashley.'"
