Should I Delete That?

‘A celebrity in a bikini? Gold’: the toxic tabloids of the 00s


Listen Later

At the height of their popularity newspapers like The Sun and The Mirror were selling over 5 million copies a day, while magazines like Heat were distributing over 600,00 copies weekly. 


As we go one step further into understanding the ways in which we feel about our own bodies - we thought we needed to explore more than just nature’s part in our story, and look at nurture’s involvement in this too.


In the UK, tabloids were HUGE and as a result, were massively instrumental in informing so much of how we viewed the world and the women around us, but in the context of this series, we wanted to explore how pivotal they were in establishing how we curated the relationship we had with ourselves and our bodies.


Thanks so much to our amazing guests who feature on this episode: Giles Harrison, Holly Hagan and Isabel Mohan
