Daily Mail gives Pamela Stephenson Connolly two stars

The Daily Mail can't get it up. Monkey's not spreading malicious rumours here – it's a fact, as evidenced in the paper's diary story today about Strictly Come Dancing contestant Pamela Stephenson Connolly and her husband Billy's legendary drinking habits . "He could drink 11 whiskies and still get it **," reports the Ephraim Hardcastle column, the phrase "get it up" apparently too close to the bone(r) for the paper's readers. But they are not too sensitive for an embarrassingly leg-rubbing snippet about fellow Strictly contestant Felicity Kendal and her "fine legs". Is this the most absurd use of the asterisk to date? You couldn't get it ... sorry, make it up.
