Date: September 2001
Original cover price: £3.00
SKU: 1541

A strong early-2000s issue of Loaded, combining celebrity features, glamour photography, comedy, film, football, fashion, travel and the magazine's characteristic irreverent lifestyle content.

The cover is dominated by Donna Air, with the headline describing the Geordie television personality and actress as the issue's principal feature. Inside, her main article begins around page 112 and is shown across a large glossy photo spread.

Donna Air Feature

Donna Air receives substantial coverage in this issue rather than simply appearing on the cover.

The contents identify her feature as:

Donna Air – page 112

The photographed interior spread shows a full two-page glamour feature photographed in Sicily, with Donna posed in black lingerie and heels against an outdoor stone setting. The feature is headed “bella donna” and accompanies an interview/profile relating to her career and public image.

For collectors of Donna Air memorabilia, British television personalities and early-2000s men's magazines, this is one of the stronger aspects of the issue.
