Tesco reveals lads' mags 'modesty' deal and under 18 ban

Three so-called lads' mags have agreed to tone down their cover images and now will only be sold to over-18s in Tesco stores, the supermarket giant has said.

As reported by the BBC: Zoo, Nuts and Front have told Tesco they will produce "more modest" covers in future, while Bizarre's publisher will supply the magazine in a bag.

Tesco said the move came after it held talks with its customers.

Its protests have been targeting High Street supermarkets and newsagents which stock the magazines, which traditionally have featured images of scantily-clad women on their front covers.
