imogen would have been a very natural target for the news editors.oked at her and gone, "0k, here's an attractive person. "it's a former miss wales. "so, a, there must be photos of her looking good out there." there was a big moneymaking exercise going on, on both sides, actually. so imogen would immediately have been kind of targeted by an agent who would have been pushing every aspect of their private life to the papers, because at that time there was a great accent on kiss—and—tells, this sort of thing. and this is where that line between what you choose to sell and what's been stolen from you becomes very, very fluid. so when i left the house, i'd have a few dates with a few other celebs. you'd get paid thousands of pounds just to even say the smallest amount of detail. and my manager thought it was, you know, easy money. "why not, imogen? it's tomorrow's chip paper." i'd done about two kiss—and—tells, and... that i deeply regretted. so after those couple of times, i was like, "i do not want to do this again." and my love life was always private.
