All the glamour of a libel victory

ROSANNA DAVISON’S opinions are much valued in the media. Frequently, reporters ring the former Miss World seeking the benefit of her wisdom. When Michael Jackson died, she got calls asking her what she thought about it, how keenly she felt the loss.

She is also asked about her opinion on matters like rugby. It’s not so much whether she’s a fan of the rucking maul, but she is asked if she will be cheering on the guys at the next match.

So it was no surprise when she got a call seeking her opinion on a girlie calendar. It was November 2008, and Ryanair had just launched its annual charity calendar, which features cabin crew togged out in swimwear. Instead of Miss January and Miss November, they appear under labels like Miss Cockpit and Miss Fuelpump.
