The Second Coming
‘LESLIES HUBBY TO DO A DIANA, announces the Star, to gasps of astonishment all round.

| Lee and Leslie are planning a second honeymoon in Paris |
But this is not a story about John Leslies secret husband escaping from a three-in-a-bed home video shoot and then dying in a car crash. No, this is much stranger.
The Leslie is Leslie The Lip Ash, and the hubby is former footballer Lee Chapman. And how exactly will he do a Diana?
Why, by granting an intimate interview with Tonight With Trevor McDonald of course.
Apart from the physical resemblance flaxen locks and a long horsey nose there seems little else to connect Lee with Saint Di.
Perhaps he has been trained to bow his head and look up coquettishly from under his fringe.
The Stars far-fetched connection appears to be that like Diana, Lee will reveal all about his marriage, and in particular the allegations that he attacked his wife allegations which both he and Leslie have always denied.
Which begs the question: why, if they are merely going to deny everything, are they keen to do it all over again on national TV?
Cynics might say it is because Leslies career could do with a bit of publicity.
But ITVs major current affairs programme would never dream of colluding in such a tawdry objective, so there must be another reason.
We await with baited breath the programmes sensational revelations about WMD, Britains Olympic bid and the Blair-Brown pact.’
