A HAMPSHIRE grandmother who created a storm when she ann-ounced her dream of having another baby is finding the attention all too much.
Priscilla Eatwell, 56, and husband Don, 69, have opted out of the media circus which descended on them when they made their first desperate appeal for an egg donor through the pages of the Daily Echo.
The couple have now em-ployed a media consultant to intercept their calls - and it's the same man who represented failed swindler Major Charles Ingram.
The cheating major, whose scam was discovered after he hit the jackpot on ITV's Who Wants to be a Millionaire? quiz show, employed media consultant Medavia as he faced deception charges at London's Southwark Crown Court.
The Bristol based company specialises in representing
people who have been thrust into the limelight unexpectedly, fending off calls from journalists, organising interviews and feeding information to the media.
Major Ingram and his wife Diana famously appeared on ITV's GMTV morning chat show protesting their innocence, just days after they were found guilty of conspiring to cheat their way to the £1m prize with a series of coded coughs.
Their story could also be turned into a film by Million-aire production team, Celador.
The Eatwells may be hoping to turn their unusual desire for an IVF baby so late in life into a similar PR success.
Mum of three Priscilla has already sold her story to the Daily Mail for £5,000, talking about the death of her son through drug misuse when he was just 16.
She admitted the loss triggered her desperate longing for more children. She spoke about rejections from two UK clinics before she found an Italian doctor who would treat her for £25,000.
The Mail deal meant she refused to talk to the Daily Echo, which first told her story, when it was discovered that vital blood tests taken by possible donor Sharon Cave, 35, were a match.
