Web designer Shepherd, 30, got six years for manslaughter in July.

He remains at large despite a manhunt and £10,000 Sun reward.

Shepherd appealed the conviction from his hideout, thought to be among expats in the Med.

A Freedom of Information request reveals he got £50,642 towards crown court solicitors’ fees, and £42,650 went to Stephen Vullo QC, who was in contact with Shepherd throughout the trial.

Charlotte’s dad Graham, 52, said: “It’s as if he is sticking two fingers up at us all, and the legal system is there to protect him not us.”

Tory David Davies added: “This individual is thumbing his nose at justice.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
