Nuts Magazine 21-27 January 2005 Katie Downes Delta Sophie Howard SKU 1466

Original Nuts Magazine dated 21–27 January 2005, a very early 2005 issue packed with glamour/model photography, entertainment, football, motoring, comedy and the magazine’s usual news and lifestyle features.

The front cover prominently features Katie, Sophie and Delta, with Katie Downes clearly identified within the magazine. This issue also includes the substantial “100 Hottest New Girls For 2005” 24-page pull-out special, which is clearly shown still present inside the photographed copy.

Cover Models & Glamour Content

The front cover is dominated by three featured models individually labelled:

• Katie
• Sophie
• Delta

The cover promotes the issue’s major “100 Hot New Girls 2005” feature, with further model photographs arranged along the lower edge.

Inside, the supplied photographs show the special section opening with a collage-style title page reading “100 Hottest New Girls For 2005” and numerous model portraits.

A further photographed spread clearly identifies Katie Downes as No. 1 in the feature. Her section uses a large bath-themed glamour photograph across most of the spread, accompanied by an additional smaller portrait and editorial text.

This makes the issue particularly appealing to collectors of early Nuts magazine, 2000s glamour photography and Katie Downes material.

24-Page Pull-Out Special

The magazine advertises an “Extra 24-Page Pull-Out – 100 Hot New Girls 2005” on the front cover.

The supplied interior photographs clearly show this special section present in the magazine.

It opens with a full-page collage of featured models surrounding the large blue-and-yellow “100 Hottest New Girls For 2005” heading, followed by individual profiles and photographs.

This is worth noting for collectors because supplements and pull-out sections are often removed from older magazines, whereas the pictured copy visibly retains this feature.
