Media mogul Rupert Murdoch has suggested that Page 3 models in the Sun newspaper should start wearing clothes.

The head of News Corp - the Sun's parent company - wrote on Twitter that topless models were "old fashioned", although he said the paper's readers "seem to disagree".

Mr Murdoch asked: "Aren't beautiful young women more attractive in at least some fashionable clothes?"

Alicia Douvall is a former Page 3 model. She told Phil Williams on 大象传媒 Radio 5 live that glamour modelling "empowered her" and enabled her to start her own business. She thinks that young women shouldn't be denied the chances that she had.

But Lisa Clarke, a member of the No More Page 3 campaign, said that - while she's not against all glamour modelling - she opposes Page 3 because it appears in a newspaper that is marketed at families, and that the feature "normalises the sexualisation of women".
