Lingerie designer angered

Designer Damaris Evans took action when annoyed by comments presenter Lorraine Kelly made on live television. The TV presenter had made fun of a £2,000 pair of Swarovski crystals-encrusted underwear that Evans had designed, saying that visible panty lines were out of style. However, what infuriated Evans was that she had not been credited with the design. In fact, her name had not been mentioned at all.

She therefore called the phone-in line and told the fashion desk either to credit her with the design, buy the underwear or pay the hire fee of £600. Her phone call had the desired the effect. The underwear returned after the break, worn by a model, with accompanying praise for the design. Evans's latest affordable line of Mimi Holiday silk and chiffon underwear will soon be available at Liberty and Harrods. Prices start at £25.
