Mantel defends her comments about Kate

Budliegh Salterton-based novelist Hilary Mantel has defended her controversial comments about the Duchess of Cambridge.

The writer had been quoted as saying the duchess was a "shop-window mannequin" whose only purpose was to breed.

But she told BBC Radio 3's Night Waves programme that her words had been taken out of context.

Mantel said her speech had clearly been addressing a perception of Catherine that had been created in the mediawhen she decribed her as "gloss-varnished" with a perfect plastic smile, and having no personality.

Speaking about those...

Routine win over Totnes for undefeated Exmouth

EXMOUTH TOWN 3-0 TOTNES & DARTINGTON

Exmouth strolled to yet another comfortable victory against their visitors in the South West Peninsular Division One this afternoon. The two sides had met twice this season already - a 4-0 Exmouth league win in Totnes and a 5-1 home thrashing by Town in the cup.

Heavy pre-match rain looked to disrupt attacking intent today, but Totnes could easily have taken the lead in the opening minute of the game - just missing an open goal from a tight angle.

Exmouth too provided some early warnings, forcing numerous corners and a...

Exeter City scoreline doesn't reflect the quality of play

Exeter City and Fleetwood Town played out a thoroughly entertaining 0-0 draw at Highbury Stadium.

The scoreline didn’t reflect the amount of chances that either side created, with both teams having opportunities to take the victory.

One of the best openings for City came deep into stoppage time in the second half, as Danny Coles couldn’t get over a loose ball and saw his effort clear the bar – but the teams both merited a point from the clash in Lancashire.

There were two changes to Paul Tisdale’s starting XI after the midweek fixture against Bristol Rovers. A back...

A trip to Theatre Alibi's Curiosity Shop is a mesmerising voyage of discovery

Leaving the Exeter Northcott with your mouth open after seeing a Theatre Alibi production is starting to become a regular occurrence. Curiosity Shop , which had its premiere tonight is the latest in a line of jaw-dropping productions by Exeter’s own Theatre Alibi.

A modern-day adaptation of the Dickens novel, the show blends photography, music, film and Theatre Alibi’s signature immersive performances and the end result is an utter triumph.

Directed by Nikki Sved, this is a very different style of performance from their last show here, The Crowstarver , which was quite...

Exeter Chiefs Colts Battle for Top Spot

Exeter Chiefs Colts V Brixham Colts

Exeter kept up their challenge for top spot in the Devon RFU Colts Shield competition hosting Brixham at Withycombe RFC. This season the boys have been rewarded with kit sponsorship from Astley Media, who have kindly provided warm up tops and playing shorts and socks.

They took to the pitch with pride in their new clothing. The ground staff at Withy had done a good job and the pitch was in great condition considering the atrocious weather we had after Christmas.
