Girls’ tasty £10million deal






Pop babes Girls Aloud are to front a £10 million ad campaign for a new lower calorie KitKat bar. Sources say it’s the biggest single deal the fivesome have signed and should see them bank at least £500,000 each.

The band will appear in the new TV ads for Senses, a low-cal KitKat aimed at women and costing 45p. The group will also star on poster and newspaper ads, and have their latest tour sponsored by the brand.

Dolce ad for kids ‘Too Sexy’

Furious parents have hit out over a provocative new ad for designer children’s clothes. They are angry that Dolce & Gabbana Junior is using a young girl in skimpy leopard-print shorts to sell its range.


In the controversial advert the girl is pictured smiling in a sparkling top as she leans against a young boy. Critics claim the leg-exposed hotpants present a sexualised image of the child model.


D&G Junior said last night it had received no complaints about the ad. Although it comes days after findings reported that children are growing up earlier than ever.
