Birth date

Article says 1979, imdb.com says 1977. Please someone fix it Pictureuploader 17:02, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I find it hard to believe she was born in '79. The Guardian article (likned from her page) published in 2000 say's she's 23, too. I'll change it to '77.Crisso 18:21, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

There's been some odd stuff about nationality in this article. Someone (anon IP) recently changed the info box to say she was Scottish - although she has quite varied ancestry I can't see anything that indicates any Scots roots. Overall it seems more appropriate to describe her nationality as British. Given the variety of ethnic or national roots to which she can lay claim, the term British seems better because it embraces the diverse ethnic mix of the UK. Also British is a formal nationality whereas "English" isn't (eg. there's no such thing as an English passport).Circusandmagicfan (talk) 08:36, 6 November 2008 (UTC)Circusandmagicfan[reply]

Notability

I can't believe this page has been marked as maybe not notable- she's very famous in the UK, I would say she's a household name, and she has receieved a lot of media attention for her books, her modelling work (especially the opium campaign) as well as aspects of her personal life such as her weight loss and relationship with Jamie Callum. 79.69.97.45 (talk) 21:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
