‘Blunkett lover’ appeals for privacy

THE married woman alleged to be having an affair with British Home Secretary David Blunkett yesterday appealed to the media to respect her privacy.

Kimberly Fortier, the publisher of The Spectator magazine, refused to comment on her reported relationship with Mr Blunkett.

In a brief statement, issued through her solicitors, she warned action would be taken in respect of any intrusive coverage of her private life by the media.
