Too much Big Brother nipple for the Daily Mail

I understand that the start of the new series of Big Brother on Channel 4 in the summer also marks the official start of "the silly season" in the UK, when nothing much happens in the news - compounded this year by the false interregnum at the helm at the country.

I was surprised by some of the early Big Brother 8 coverage on the Daily Mail's online site in the last couple of days. They've had me checking the address bar to make sure I haven't accidentally slipped off into red-top land.

The tone of the headlines seemed disapproving enough - "Day 1: Wannabe WAG Charley gets her top off".

So far, so Daily Mail.

The story included a screen capture of Charley Uchea with her bra out, supporting the story as well as her breasts.

However it goes on to include three pictures of her cavorting topless from a party earlier in the year, credited to the Xposure photographic agency.

I say goes on to.

I mean, went on to.

I guess I wasn't the only one surprised at how much minor celebrity nipple was appearing on the Mail's site - someone at the paper must have been as well. Today the most revealing shot has been removed from the page, as these side-by-side screengrabs show.
