Who is Max Clifford's daughter Louise Clifford?

Louise Clifford is the daughter of Max and his first wife, Liz Porter.

Clifford's first wife, Liz, who he met at a dance in Croydon in 1963, died of lung cancer in 2003.

They were together for 36 years before her death.

Details from his biography were used at his trial by the prosecution, and he admitted he had been unfaithful to his first wife on several occasions, but insisted his sexual activities were "good honest filth", and not illegal.

He said: "I was having affairs, I was greedy, it was wonderful. Liz was my wife, the rest of them were for entertainment."

What has Louise Clifford said about his father's death?

Louise has said that her dad's ""dying months lacked humanity and dignity".

In a statement read to the coroner in Peterborough, Louise Clifford said: "I could see that he was fading."

Ms Clifford said her father first mentioned "feeling tight-chested and unable to take a deep breath" five months before his death.

A consultant cardiologist told her the right side of her father's heart was "stiff and shiny" and recommended an MRI scan.

"I could see him getting more and more frail," Ms Clifford said.

"He would complain to me daily about the ice-cold showers and cold cell and what a shock to the system it was each time."

Ms Clifford said the "severity of his condition wasn't established" and that "his dying months lacked humanity and dignity".

Has Louise Clifford challenged Max Clifford's convictions?

When Max died in prison aged 74 in December 2017, his daughter Louise took the unusual decision to continue his legal appeal, in an attempt to posthumously clear her father’s name.

Louise Clifford, who used to work at her father’s publicity firm, decided to continue with the legal appeal because she “has wanted to do what she can to restore his reputation”, according to the lawyer.

Forshaw told the three judges that the grounds of appeal related to fresh evidence and “misdirections or inadequate directions” by the original trial judge.
