Controversy
Campaigners against the Page 3 feature include the campaign group, No More Page 3. When asked about the campaign Webster said that, "people should be able to make their own choices." She has also commented, "The photographs have stayed the same for 40 years. They've not got any more explicit. It staggers me that some, particularly young people, still have an issue with them. ... The argument is the wrong way round. If you have a problem with your body, if, as a child, you grew up with certain body issues, then I can see how Page Three could affect you. But if you are comfortable with yourself then it will have no effect on you at all."
Private life
Webster is married to the deputy editor of The Sun, Geoff Webster, who was cleared in March 2015, along with colleagues, of making illegal payments to public officials after a trial at the Old Bailey. The journalists had been charged as part of Operation Elveden.
Webster nearly died as a result of blood clots causing pulmonary hypertension, but was operated on in 2011.
