British tabloid The Sun brings topless models back on page 3

The British tabloid The Sun has published a picture of a topless woman on Page Three and mocked the No To Page 3 campaign group that said the long-running feature had been axed.

The Sun's provocative Page 3 featured a topless woman winking under the headline "clarifications and corrections," the Independent reported.

The paper that had not published pictures of topless glamour models since Friday, further wrote that further to recent reports in all other media outlets, they would like to clarify that this is Page 3 and this is a picture of Nicole, 22, from Bournemouth.

It added that they would like to apologise on behalf of the print and broadcast journalists who have spent the last two days talking and writing about them.

The Sun previewed the image with the text "we've had a mammary lapse" next to "see Page 3" on its front page.

The No More Page 3 campaign group, who conceded "the party will have to wait a little longer" before bare breasts disappear from the newspaper and wrote on social media that it seems the fight might be back on.
