The death of shame! RICHARD LITTLEJOHN on what the hideous scenes at Cheltenham - and two middle-class girls' tawdry bid for fame - tell us about modern morality

Looking at the photos of those two drunken slatterns at Cheltenham (inset), one could be excused for thinking: Is this what Emily Davison threw herself under a horse for, writes RICHARD LITTLEJOHN. The Suffragettes could never have imagined that their noble struggle for equality would eventually lead to young women assuming the freedom to behave in public like gin-sodden strumpets from a Hogarth etching. At least we were spared the spectacle of 'Love Island star' Jessica Hayes (left) - whoever the hell she is - hitching up her skirt and urinating into a champagne flute. That was left to Northampton Town 'star' James Collins and MK Dons 'star' Samir Carruthers - nope, me neither - who relieved themselves on a balcony. In 2016, so-called 'stars' parade their disgusting behaviour in public. That's their raison d'être. Look at Jessica Hayes's soppy sidekick Katie Salmon (right), who is described as a 'model'. When I hear 'model', I think of Jean Shrimpton or the elegant Sandra Howard, as classy off-camera as on it. Twiggy, the first of the working-class models, had an innocent, girl-next-door charm. Katie Salmon looks like a blow-up sex doll.
