Talking of unsightly bodily defects I read in The Mirror that Princess Di has been immersed in a six month sulk with my favourite Royal, the vulgar Fergie.
Apparently fragrant Di's distress has been caused over Fergie's throwaway remark in her "novel" that when Di gave her her cast-off shoes, she also gave her verrucas.
You can't blame Fergie for pointing this out. After all, given how fond the old girl was of inserting said feet into young men's mouths it must have cramped her pulling style somewhat.
But it's Di's sulky reaction I can't fathom. Verrucas? Di old girl this is the least of your health worries. After all you're perfectly keen to go on national TV telling us how spew was frequently to be found trailing down your chin. I would have thought dodgy feet were the least of your worries love. Let's face it you lost your mystique long ago. The knowledge that you're banging around with a few diseases inside your Manolo Blahnik's is hardly a great slur on your character.
Still I have to say it makes you think.
After all, just think of all those folk who've just lashed out thousands for one of her frocks.
Knowing what Fergie's previously immaculate toes got from Diana's intimate apparel, I dread to think what dangers are lurking for those who are about to slip into one of her old frocks.
