Fifteen-year-old Sharon [text removed] from Rotherham wants to be a Page 3 Girl. A year ago she sold her pony and started writing to the leading glamour model agents. One agreed to see Sharon; so, with her mother at her side, she went on her first trip to London.
Samantha Fox is Sharon's idol. When Samantha was just 16 she appeared topless on the front page of a national newspaper - and left school the next day. Since then she's become Britain's best-known Page 3 Girl.
Samantha says: 'I've been lucky -I don't think it happens all the time.' It happened to Linda Lusardi - 'Star Bird of 84'. In the 70s it happened to Vivien Neves, Jilly Johnson and Nina Carter.
But will young Sharon [text removed] find fame and fortune after her first photo session in Balham?
