| 2/11 | Response to reports of Tom insuring his chest hair from Sir Tom's Management - The story published in the Daily Mirror (UK) on Feb 5 is completely fabricated. No such insurance policy exists or has ever been considered. We assume this is just the Mirror having a bit of fun and hope no one takes this kind of 'reporting' seriously |
| 1/28 | Response to Daily Mail Article January 26 From Sir Tom's Management - For the record, the lady in the image accompanying this article is not Mrs. Tom Jones. This is a photo of Sir Tom with his sister, Sheila. That the newspaper has constructed an entire piece on a completely false premise whilst proceeding to pass judgment on the look of a 70+ lady having an outing with her brother is beyond the pale. The only thing this article reveals is the standard of the Daily Mail's journalism. |
