PARIS HILTON FEATURE
Paris Hilton is one of the principal attractions of this issue. The contents page confirms a dedicated feature centred on her fame, celebrity image and the home-video controversy that was heavily covered by the media at the time.
This makes the issue particularly collectible for fans of early-2000s celebrity culture and British men’s magazines from the period.
VANESSA & SHELL / BIG BROTHER FEATURE
The photographed interior pages show Vanessa Nimmo and Shell Jubin, both associated with Big Brother, in an adult glamour feature promoted on the cover as part of the magazine’s “Hottest Big Brother Babes” coverage.
The feature contains mature topless glamour photography, making this an adult-oriented men’s magazine rather than a general entertainment title.
JEREMY CLARKSON / TOP GEAR
The front cover advertises a substantial 8-page Top Gear special together with an exclusive Jeremy Clarkson interview.
The motoring content also includes a stunt feature involving a car and further automotive material within the magazine, making this issue relevant to collectors of early-2000s Top Gear and Jeremy Clarkson memorabilia as well as Zoo magazine collectors.

“Champions League Final – 6-page special on Liverpool’s big night”
