Andy Coulson's youthful agony

Long ago, before Andy Coulson was a Tory spin doctor, before he was even a tabloid editor, and long, long before he was dogged by a phone-hacking scandal that refuses to go away , he was demanding sex five times a day. Or rather, a character expertly portrayed by a youthful Coulson in the Sun's "Deidre's Photo Casebook" and retrieved for posterity by celebrity gossip blogger Samuel Dean , was demanding sex five time a day. In the photo strip, Coulson's "Mick" pesters his fictional wife "Linda" for sex, driving her to distraction – and prompting her to write to the Sun, the paper where the future News of the World editor began his tabloid career. Monkey wonders whether Coulson will be making a guest appearance in the first edition of Clive Goodman's photo casebook: "My editor demands stories five times a day."
