David Cameron, leader of the Conservative party, and his wife Samantha were celebrating news this week of another baby on the way.

But it did little to offset the publicity Samantha was given a couple of days earlier after a series of fashion pictures of her were discovered in a loft here on the Island.
The images, recently found by Alison Jane Reid, showed Mrs Cameron displaying her legs in a series of high-fashion outfits designed by a friend.
Ms Reid did the photo the shoot in around 13years ago and the slides remained undetected until they were found in the attic. The photographer said of Mrs Cameron: “She didn’t want to look too sexy because she was newly married and her husband was a rising star in the Conservative Party, so she had to be image conscious.
“But actually the photographs are beautifully sexy, just not in a way that could ever be misconstrued. She is wearing very alluring mini-dresses but she looks elegant and refined, which I guess is down to breeding”.
Miss Reid added: “I was struck by the fact that she was amazingly beautiful and she was naturally photogenic and at ease. I remember that she was very warm-hearted and vivacious and she was just having a really good time.”
Miss Reid attempted to sell the photographs after the shoot but failed to raise any interest, and four years later David Cameron became MP for Witney.
Since then Mrs Cameron has tended to be more conservative in her dress sense, wearing a grey polka dot to watch her husband’s speech at last year’s Conservative Party Conference.
