SIR – Celebrities who take out gagging orders to save their family from suffering pain because they are in the public eye are nothing but hypocrites.

The pain has already been caused. Being in the news will not come as any surprise or pain to the family. They know what has gone on.

The order has been taken out to protect the celebrity, full stop. It has been taken out to save embarrassment and suffering to the celebrity.

It is strange how photographs of loving celebrities with wives or husbands and children are deemed okay but those with lovers or prostitutes are not.
