SEE EMILY PLAY...

EMILY MAITLIS first came to my attention when she read the local BBC news in London, standing up, wearing short skirts and leaning against a chrome balcony rail. Rather ungallantly, I wrote that it made her look like a pole-dancer. But, undoubtedly, it got her noticed. Recently, Emily’s been complaining that she’s not paid as much as fellow male presenters on Newsnight. Now she’s protesting that the camera angles on the BBC2 show are too revealing, like ‘upskirt’ photos taken by the paparazzi of female celebs climbing out of taxis. ‘You never know if they’re going to get your knickers,’ she said. Call me a sexist pig, but couldn’t she just put on a gown that touches the ground.
