s clearly visible. Although these photographs caused controversy at the time, they are credited with the increase in circulation that established
The Sun as one of the most popular newspapers in the United Kingdom by the mid-1970s. In an effort to compete with The Sun, the Daily Mirror and Daily Star tabloids instituted their own Page Three–like features under different names.

The Sun would often connect its Page Three photographs to topical sporting events. A model might pose in a short white skirt with a tennis racquet during the Wimbledon tennis championships

In 1999,
The Sun launched its Page Three website Page3.com. The site features the tabloid's daily Page Three girl in up to four poses, usually including the photograph published in the printed edition. It also hosts an on-line archive of previous Page Three photographs, a "Page 3 Gold" section featuring models from earlier eras, and various other features.

Since 2002,
The Sun has run an approximately annual contest called "Page 3 Idol." Women aged 18 or older can submit their pictures, which are published on the Page Three website and voted on by the public. The winner of the contest receives a Page Three modelling contract. The 2004 winner, 18-year-old Keeley Hazell

In 2003, Julian Jones made a documentary about Page Three girls, The Curse of Page 3, which examined the negative aspects of some Page Three models' lives, including addiction to drugs and involvement in abusive relationships.

Controversies

Page Three has often been controversial, particularly with conservatives and women's groups. Some critics consider it to be sexist

She...

, Member of Parliament for Birmingham Ladywood, led an unsuccessful House of Commons campaign to have topless models banned from all newspapers. After her proposed bill failed, Short accused the House's predominantly conservative male MPs of not taking the issue seriously, remarking "If you mention breasts, fifty Tory MPs all giggle and fall over." Short renewed her campaign against Page Three almost two decades later, in 2004, but found herself on the receiving end of an ad hominem attack by The Sun, which superimposed her face on a Page Three model's body and accused her of being "fat and jealous."

Editors of
The Sun have themselves periodically considered eliminating the feature from the newspaper. During her tenure as the newspaper's deputy editor, Rebekah Brooks (née Wade) had argued (on economic, rather than feminist, grounds) that printing topless photographs on Page Three damaged the newspaper's circulation by offending female readers. When she became the tabloid's first woman editor on 13 January 2003, she was widely expected either to terminate Page Three or to modify it so that the models would no longer appear topless. However, she retained the feature unchanged. Wade later wrote an editorial defending the feature against its critics, calling Page Three models "intelligent, vibrant young women who appear in The Sun out of choice and because they enjoy the job."

The Sun and other British tabloids have also provoked controversy by featuring girls as young as 16 as topless models, when it was legal to do so. Samantha Fox

As partial compensation, "Ekstra Bladet" launched a website where the Page 9 Girls could choose to make a gallery for, and on this site (which is a pay-site) sometimes the models is fully nude, but it is rare.
