✕ Appeal to Emotion [8/10]: Katie’s emotional post is quoted extensively to evoke sympathy, while Jamie’s response is framed as defensive, creating an emotional narrative over factual balance.

"A 13 year life doesn't just disappear because something new feels exciting, home, family, kids, dogs, the version of me that held things together for years, that doesn't just switch off because someone else is now being shown now."

✓ Proper Attribution [7/10]: Direct quotes from Jamie and Katie are clearly attributed to 'The Sun' or presented as their own social media posts, providing traceable sourcing for personal statements.

✕ Omission [9/10]: The article fails to explain the BBC’s stated child safeguarding concerns in any detail or provide media regulation context for why an OnlyFans association might be seen as incompatible with a family show.

✕ Cherry-Picking [7/10]: Focuses heavily on emotional reactions from both parties but omits any broader context about Gladiators’ audience demographics, contractual norms, or precedent for such dismissals.

"There’s nothing in our contracts about who you’re allowed to be with, who you’re allowed to love or what relationships you’re allowed to have away from the show"

✕ Selective Coverage [8/10]: The story centers on the personal drama rather than the professional decision-making process, suggesting editorial emphasis on relationship conflict over institutional media policy.
