Original UK Zoo Magazine Issue 51, dated 28 January to 3 February 2005, featuring Kate Lawler and Shell Jubin as the dominant cover stars.

This is an early Zoo issue from the magazine's mid-2000s peak, combining glamour photography with celebrity interviews, football, Formula 1, films, television, games, humour, cars and contemporary men's lifestyle material.

Kate Lawler & Shell Jubin

The main cover story centres on Kate Lawler and Shell Jubin, both associated with Big Brother, with the issue promoting a substantial joint glamour feature.

The photographed interior spread shows the pair together in a professionally produced studio feature, accompanied by editorial text describing their appearance in Zoo. There are also individual interview sections for both women.

A separate photographed page shows Kate Lawler – “Her first interview since her transfer to Madrid”, discussing her recent activities and television work.

Shell Jubin also receives her own interview section, with discussion of her post-Big Brother life and future plans.

Girlfriends Unclothed Special

The front cover prominently advertises a “Free 16-Page Pull Out – Girlfriends Unclothed”, while the contents page describes a sixteen-page feature focused on women featured in the magazine.

Please note that any originally supplied separate free gifts, loose supplements, promotional items or detachable extras are no longer included unless they are clearly shown in the supplied photographs. The sale is for the magazine itself as pictured.

Steve Coogan

Another notable feature is an exclusive Steve Coogan interview, promoted directly on the front cover.

The contents describe the interview as covering his then-current film work, including Around the World in 80 Days, along with other topics. This adds a strong British comedy and entertainment angle to the issue.

Football & Sport

There is substantial period football material, including:

Arsène Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson featured in a humorous “who's maddest?” piece.
Fernando Morientes interview relating to Liverpool.
Football coverage involving Chelsea and Brazilian players.
Fantasy XI material.
Sam Hancock Formula 1 coverage.
Contemporary football and sporting commentary from the 2004/05 season.

For football collectors, the Wenger/Ferguson content is a particularly recognisable snapshot of the Arsenal–Manchester United rivalry of the period.

Condition

Pre-owned vintage magazine with visible age and handling wear.

From the photographs:

Front cover remains colourful and presents well overall.
Noticeable edge and corner wear, especially around the spine and outer corners.
Light creasing and curling to some corners.
Spine shows rubbing and normal reading wear.
Some surface marks and general handling wear are visible.
Interior pages shown remain attached and readable.
Minor age-related page toning is visible.
Some page edges have light waviness/creasing.
Rear cover has visible surface rubbing and edge wear.
No major detached sections are obvious in the supplied photographs.

Overall this appears to be a good used copy for a 2005 weekly magazine, but it is not mint and should be purchased with the visible wear in mind.

Please inspect all supplied photographs carefully as they form part of the condition description.

Original Extras

Any loose gifts, promotional items, separate supplements, vouchers or other removable items originally supplied with the magazine are no longer included unless specifically visible in the photographs.
