Dear Deidre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dear Deidre is the British newspaper The Sun's long running agony aunt column written by Deidre Sanders. It has been running for over a quarter of a century, since 1980. Each day there are four or five dilemmas sent in anonymously by readers, which are published and answered by Deidre. There is also a week long series of photos that picture a particular problem, with Deidre giving advice at the end. In addition, several different premium rate advice lines are published, giving recorded messages on problems that readers may have.

Recurring themes include erection and orgasm problems, incest, having or imagining threesomes, problems with parents, loneliness, addiction to prostitutes, and sex in strange places. Many of the predicaments featured are fairly improbable, and it is the opinion of some that they are more than likely made up.^[1]

During a piece of news, Deidre will sometimes give humorous advice to a celebrity who is having personal problems. One example of this was after José Mourinho called Arsène Wenger a voyeur, and there was a casebook featuring Arsène peeking into Chelsea's training ground, and a letter from him, written in the type of French seen in 'Allo 'Allo!.
