Page Three (or Page 3)

 

Page Three (or Page 3) is a feature found in some Tabloid Newspapers, especially in the U K, consisting of a large photograph of a Topless Female Glamour Model. The feature takes its name from the tradition of printing the photograph on the newspaper's third page.

Women who model regularly for the feature are known as Page Three girls, some of whom, such as Samantha Fox and Katie Price (Jordan), have become notable celebrities in their own right in fields such as music and television.

The Sun Tabloid Newspaper first started featuring topless Page Three girls in November 1970. The feature was soon imitated by other British tabloids and by newspapers internationally.

Banning Sun's Page 3 girls would be illiberal - Dy PM Nick Clegg
Nick Clegg has declined to back the campaign to ban page 3 girls from the Sun, on the grounds that the state should not dictate the content of Newspapers.
In an interview on BBC Radio 5 Live, the deputy prime minister said it would be "deeply illiberal" for the state to dictate what appears in newspapers.
