Trying to read an article behind a paywall . In the photo she looks absolutely gaunt. Can anyone tell me the gist of the article? It’s Clive and Amanda talking about how fame ruined their marriage.

This is amazing - thank you. There have been a few articles over the last few months I’d have loved to have read, and thought I couldn’t, so this is great. Thank you!

That’s genius, about the reader. Thank you, pp.

Can someone pretty please explain to me about Reader?

GoingRoundInOvals · 05/09/2024 10:16

iPhone, at the top where it has the browser bar, you should see two capital A's?
click on those and it will say "show reader"

Reader doesn’t work for the times / telegraph etc though it seems? But does for dm.

Looks like Ozempic face. If you squint it could be a picture of Sharon Osbourne.

However biggest fucking red flag from the article is that they met when she was 21 and Owen was 40?!! That doesn't sound like a fairytale tradwife fantasy. Sounds like textbook grooming where a young girl is lured into a relationship and impregnated very quickly so she has no chance of escape.

Reader tip genius thanks.

So sad to read about Amanda and she looks very gaunt. I loved all her books and partially watched the tv shows. I really hope they can start thriving again.

Yep it's grim.

Disturbia81 · 05/09/2024 10:43

God she looks so ill, anorexic infact. Hope she's okay

Iloveshihtzus · 05/09/2024 10:46

Hi can someone explain how to get reader? I can’t see the browser bar. I have an iPhone.

BadgersGalore · 05/09/2024 11:03

It took me a while to find the reader thing (on iPhone). It seems not to work with the Google app, but in Safari. And on my phone it's at the bottom not the top. Click the aA and 'show reader'.

Thanks @BlossomValley for the tip!

Oh that's really sad - I hope she's not ill

SunshineAutumn · 05/09/2024 11:53

Omg! The select reader thing!! Genius! Thank you!

outdamnedspots · 05/09/2024 12:00

The article explains why she lost weight, if you read it.

nomud · 05/09/2024 12:06

‘When she was at her lowest point there were nights where, after cooking supper for all of us, she went home and I didn’t know if I would see her in the morning.
The stress made her so ill, she stopped eating. She’s been ­physically and mentally ill and that’s because of the negativity in the media and the trolls. It’s been terrible to witness.’

Very sad.
