This wasn't in the papers but it's interesting enough when you're self-isolating, especially for fans of Girls Aloud.
Years ago, when the band was brand-new, they were booked to appear on a morning TV show called "Popworld" - as well as just about every other TV show their management could get them booked into!
They duly arrived for "Popworld" and everything was looking good - especially the girls' very wobbly chests.
Well, I say their chests were looking good but that was only the majority view: the view of those actually running the show was that there was absolutely no way those wobbling boobs were going to appear on "Popworld" as it was a morning TV show and there were strict regulations in force.
A lot of debate and argument ensued, with the girls insisting they should be allowed to perform bra-less and the guys whose jobs were on the line insisting there was no way that was going to happen.
Eventually, the girls relented and a young man on work experience doing his first day's work as a runner was charged with the task of asking Cheryl, Nadine, Sarah, Nicola and Kimberley their bra sizes and jotting the details down on a bit of paper. His task was then to leg it down to Marks & Spencer on Oxford Street and purchase the required wobble-stoppers.
He made it back to the studio just in time, somewhat hot and sweaty (from the running, obviously) and gave the girls their bras which they promptly proceeded to put on.
The show then proceeded without a hitch.
After the show, the host (Simon Amstell) was sitting around with a group of people who were unaware of the earlier panic.
As the young runner, purely by chance, walked by, Simon stopped the conversation, pointed at the young lad and said "Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the man with the best job in the world!"
