Simon Cowell has reportedly been left deeply upset after Sinitta confessed to having an abortion when she was pregnant by him. The X Factor boss, 53, has now told pals he intends to cut his former lover out of his life forever, feeling ‘stunned’ and ‘baffled’ by her decision to go public with a secret he claims not to have known about. A source revealed, ‘Simon is devastated. He can’t understand why she would do it to him. He’s saying this is the first he has ever heard about an abortion.’ Insiders reckon that Sinitta’s revelation is down to her jealousy over Simon’s current relationship with New York socialite Lauren Silverman, who is expecting his child early next year. ‘The feeling among Simon’s friends is that she just wants to claim she…

They preened and primped themselves to perfection for the weekend’s live show, but practice has been far from plain sailing for the Strictly girls. Susanna Reid was left reeling when her pro partner, Kevin Clifton, got his dates mixed up, believing the first show to be two weeks earlier than it actually was. He admitted to being a ‘crazy taskmaster’ and to pushing Susanna, 42, to the limit because of it. Meanwhile, Abbey Clancy, 27, was feeling some way from glam after several tough rehearsals, and Fiona Fullerton, 56, could barely stand. Someone get these ladies a hot bath and a foot rub!…

He’s 18 years my junior! I’m 45 and have been single for five long years and have recently met a man who is just lovely in every way. The problem is that he’s 27, which is only five years older than my eldest son. My boyfriend says the age difference doesn’t bother him but it bothers my son. He says he’s repulsed by what I’m doing. Penny, 45, via email I think what you are asking is how to preserve the relationship you have with your son while also enjoying the one you have with this other man. I recommend you acknowledge your son’s feelings by gently saying, ‘I’m sorry you feel repulsed. I hope you can eventually find a way to get past the age difference and see that…

This time of year is always tough for mothers. There they are with brave smiles waving off their grown-up children as they leave home for the first time, heading off to university or to start college courses. Yet the pain of separation is never easy. And it’s something I know about only too well, even though my girl is now 23 and living 250 miles from me in London. I’m so happy for her, yet at one time I could never have imagined us being this far apart, because letting go of my daughter has been so much harder for me. You see, my daughter’s name is Alex Griffiths, and in 1990, she was the 37-hour old baby who was snatched from my arms in a London maternity hospital. Do…

I joined Quidco soon after it first launched in 2005, as another mother had recommended it on a parenting forum. I’d never tried a cashback site before, but I’m so glad I gave it a go. It’s so incredibly simple to use – all you have to do is register with your email address and bank details. You can also sign up to receive special offers from all your favourite stores. Chris and I have seven children and we live in a small town in Scotland, so there isn’t a lot of shopping choice. But with Quidco, I just type in the product or store that I’m looking for and it shows me the offers that are available. So many deals I use the Click & Collect service for my…

My son, Lennon, six, sat pale and quiet next to me. I knew how scared he was from the way he kept twisting his hands together and sliding on and off his chair. ‘It’ll all be over soon,’ I said, yet my words felt so hopelessly inadequate. Both of us knew the routine only too well. We could be waiting for hours. It was February 2012 and Lennon had been coming here to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh since he was a baby. He suffered from VACTERL association, a disorder that left him with many defects, from lung and kidney problems to curvature of the spine. We were always waiting to be seen by different consultants and specialists. It wasn’t much fun for his little brother, Alfie,…

Getting the last few items of washing from the garden, I wondered if I’d have some luck on the bingo today. Earlier in the day I had logged on to Woman’s Own Bingo and bought two 10p tickets for each of 30 games in the Bingo Lounge, spending a total of £6. I thought that was good value for all those bingo tickets. I hadn’t won anything so far, but the last game was about to start as I went outside. ‘Maybe I’ll win a few pounds,’ I thought. When I went back in and checked the screen, I noticed I only needed two more numbers for a full house. But then, as I was getting excited, my computer seemed to freeze. ‘Oh no, not now!’ I laughed. Then it…

After two years away, Beverley Callard is returning to the cobbles of Coronation Street as fun-loving Liz McDonald. The actress, who lives in Manchester with her fourth husband, Jon McEwan, is a grandma these days – her actress daughter Rebecca has two young sons – but she’s still as full of youthful energy as ever. Woman’s Own chatted to Bev, 56, about staying in shape, squeezing into miniskirts and taking care of her health… You left Corrie after suffering from clinical depression. How did Jon, your husband, feel about you going back? He was worried, because I was very, very poorly. I was in The Priory for such a long time and taken twice a week to another hospital where they put electrodes on my head and gave me Electroconvulsive Therapy [ECT] –…

As one of the UK’s best-known TV and radio presenters, Jamie Theakston, 41, has fronted programmes such as The Priory, This Morning and of course, his popular breakfast show on Heart FM alongside Emma Bunton. Woman’s Own sat down with Jamie to discuss his bad habits, starring with Daniel Craig, and his hero… What makes you cry? I cry at almost anything but my weakness is Davina McCall’s Long Lost Family. Oh my God, that gets me going every time! My wife finds it so embarrassing. Which parts of your body do you like most and least? I’m 6ft 5in with really long arms and legs, which make it almost impossible for me to buy clothes that fit me properly. I really like my feet though, they’re size 11s and shoes are the only…

‘They took my engagement ring’ Martine reveals her heartbreak Actress Martine McCutcheon, 37, was left devastated after her engagement ring was seized to help pay off her debts of £187,000. Martine’s acting work dried up following her battle with depression and she was then declared bankrupt. She said, ‘I just thought my health, money, career have all been taken from me, and now even my engagement ring — the one thing that represents what is solid in my life — has gone. I had given them everything I had, so when the ring went as well it was heartbreaking. I just felt like nothing was going my way, and that even a symbol of something so personal as falling in love was being taken away from me too.’ And even…

Bubbly presenter Kate, 46, loves a jolly good gossip, and when we caught up with her she was on great form. The mum-of-two told us about her summer hols with her children, Darcey, seven, and Billy, four, dancing competitions, and how she’s feeling now her little one has started big school. It’s been a great summer. What did you get up to? Well, it was very nice because I’ve been working on Daybreak quite a lot. It’s typical, when everyone else goes on holiday, I’m the one with all the work on. We didn’t get away on holiday but we had lots of weekend breaks in places like the Lake District and the Kent coast, so it was good fun. And Billy has just started school, how was that? I…

We Brits do love to have a good moan, don’t we? Whether it’s lamenting the weather, poor customer service, bad drivers or noisy neighbours, we’re a right bunch of Victor Meldrews. A recent report shows we get annoyed a staggering seven times a day. It revealed our biggest bugbears are pressure selling, spam emails and foreign call centres, with another study suggesting we also love to grouch about being put on hold, dog mess and losing the TV remote. At one time, the British were known for being reserved but now even our favourite celebs aren’t averse to having a good grumble. Discussing cold-calling on Daybreak, an exasperated Lorraine Kelly griped, ‘How do you stop them? They’re so annoying!’ And when Loose Women’s Carol McGiffin joined Richard Bacon for his…

1 Do the double There are more than 300,000 pores on your face (yes, really!) and as we age, skin loses elasticity and they become looser and more noticeable. In fact, between the ages of 25 and 50 they double in size. Eek! Pores that are clogged with debris will look bigger still, so follow Sanctuary Spa skincare expert Nichola Joss’ advice and double cleanse. ‘Use an oil cleanser first to grab all the grime of the day, then follow with a cream to get a deeper cleanse into pores,’ she says. Try Sanctuary Spa Ultimate Facial Cleansing Oil, £12.99, then Superdrug Hot Cloth Cleanser with Muslin Cloth, £5.99. Top tip No time for toner? Splash your face with cold water to help pores snap back into shape in seconds.…

For almost 30 years, he played the much-loved mechanic Kevin Webster in our favourite TV soap. But when Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell, 48, stepped out of Manchester Crown Court last month after his dramatic acquittal on child rape charges, he found himself at the centre of a fierce debate. Having been accused of the most heinous of crimes, the rape and sexual assault of a six-year-old girl, his relief at being found not guilty of all charges was palpable. ‘I’m delighted,’ he said. ‘I know I am a good man and an innocent man, now the world knows that too.’ But while Michael’s co-stars and friends were pleased by the verdict too, many have since called for a change in the UK’s rape laws. Since 1988, unlike the victims, suspects…

It’s weird… but it works Do you spend ages pulling off all the white bits from your satsumas and oranges? Stop right now!

How could I model now? Shaking out my long dark hair, I stuck out my chest provocatively for the camera. ‘That’s it,’ encouraged the photographer. It was summer 2007 and, aged 28, I was on my latest modelling shoot for a lads’ mag, dressed in the skimpiest black underwear. By the end of the day I’d earned £500 for my work. ‘Easy money,’ I boasted to my friends. I got to travel all over the world and was forever going out to glitzy parties. ‘Don’t you mind stripping like that?’ some of them asked, but I’d shake my head and laugh. ‘why should I?’ I replied. I was a size eight, with 36FF boobs. what was wrong with showing my body off? Only then, a couple of months later, my…

The first thing I do every morning is switch on the computer to look at my emails. I run a furniture restoration business from home with my husband, Ross, and son Scott. On this particular Sunday I was up at 6am as I had to finish painting a table and chairs for a Christmas order. The work never stops when you run your own company! After I had checked our latest orders, I logged on to Woman’s Own Bingo to play one of the free daily games, but just missed out on winning £250. I had 72p credit in my account, so played a few 1p and 2p ticket games in the 90 ball bingo Emerald room without any luck, then decided to buy six 2p tickets for the next…

Wedding woes If Kerry Katona wants to get married so much, why doesn’t she just get a dress from ebay, pop down to a register office, get married and then have a nice lunch with her kids and new husband? The reason people have a wedding is to be married, not to have a fancy ceremony. After two failed marriages, I’d have thought she would have realised that. Lorraine Heywood, email Oh, Andrea I can’t believe Andrea McLean. I thought she was such a good role model – down-to-earth, determined and really successful. But it seems this is not the case at all. I felt so let down by the revelation in Woman’s Own [2 September] that Andrea had got so drunk she couldn’t even recall what she had done!…

Kiss and tell EastEnders star Lindsey Coulson has confessed that she loves filming saucy scenes with her on-screen boyfriends. The actress, who plays Carol Jackson, even joked that she deliberately does extra takes with actors Michael French and Nitin Ganatra, who play David and Masood, to cram more kissing in! ‘I’ve worked out that if I say, ‘I’m sorry I didn’t quite get that’, then I get to do it over and over again,’ she joked. ‘At 53 it’s really not too bad to be playing opposite two attractive men.’ Lucky for some...

Dawn French has come under fire for being ‘irresponsible’ after appearing to have piled on the pounds. The curvy comedienne has yo-yoed in the past few years but as these exclusive Woman’s Own pictures show, Dawn’s weight has crept back on and her fans are worried. ‘I love you Dawn but be responsible!’ pleaded one after seeing the pictures. ‘It’s so sad she is so much bigger than she was before she lost weight – it just shows diets do not work, you have to change your lifestyle forever,’ added another fan. Dramatic yo-yo Dawn, who married second husband Mark Bignell during a romantic ceremony in April, was pictured on a break in between filming her role as a judge on Australia’s Got Talent. Sporting a loose-fitting striped top, the funny lady…

We couldn’t believe it when Vanessa Feltz signed up for Strictly Come Dancing, and clearly we weren’t the only ones. As she admits herself in our exclusive chat, ‘I really, really can’t dance!’ We caught up with the broadcaster, 51, after the first live shows, as she rehearsed alongside her professional partner, James Jordan. She reveals why she won’t be losing weight, her excitement at being a glamorous granny and the ‘horrific’ dance moves that left her on anti-nausea tablets… How are you finding the experience? Well, first of all, I think you should know where I am – I’m in make-up having the biggest set of false eyelashes ever stuck on. They’re like giant tarantulas – it’s absolutely marvellous. We take it you’re getting used to the glitz and glamour…

The day I first set eyes on Bruce, I sent my mum a text. ‘I’ve just met the man I’m going to marry,’ it said. It was quite a statement, not like me at all. I don’t go in for huge romantic declarations. But somehow back then in 2008, aged 23, I just knew. He’d turned up at the house I shared with one of his friends, catching me sunbathing in the garden in a black bikini. I ran off with a squeal. Later, when I’d covered myself up in a T-shirt and shorts, we got chatting, drinking tea and eating custard creams and Bourbon biscuits, me growing more and more sure of my feelings. I need for you to remember that – how deeply I felt Bruce was meant…

‘I don’t know why the Le Vell case ever came to court. Where was the evidence of any crime? This poor man must have suffered terribly. These cases should be anonymous to spare people having their lives turned into a living hell.’ Colleen Brunton, 66, North London ‘By naming the accused, it may encourage other victims to come forward. Granting anonymity could damage reporting rates.’ Lucy Horsfall, 32, Bishop’s Stortford ‘I don’t think the current law should change. It would be wrong to single out sex offenders for special treatment – where would you draw the line? ’ Margaret Littlewood, 70, Manchester ‘I believe that in sex cases defendants should be named because it encourages others to come forward, as we saw in the Jimmy Savile case.’ June Smith, 49,…

What is breast cancer? Breast cancer starts when a cell in the breast begins to multiply out of control to form a tumour. Why one woman develops it and another doesn’t remains a mystery, as the exact causes of breast cancer are still not fully understood. The important part is getting a diagnosis as early as possible as this will affect how it’s treated. The course of treatment depends on how far advanced the cancer is and what will work best for the patient. Initial surgery will give the doctor information about which stage the cancer is at and which the best treatment plan is. Doctor’s orders Eight out of 10 cases of breast cancer occur in women over 50 who have been through the menopause. Causes range from being…

5 steps to… cutting the cost of broadband 1 Check with your provider that you’re on a package that suits your needs. There’s no point paying for unlimited use if you mainly send emails. However, if your package has very low limits but your monthly broadband bills are often high, you may be exceeding what you’re entitled to on a regular basis. In that case, you might cut costs by paying more per month for increased usage limits. 2 Haggle with your current supplier. If you’ve come to the end of your contract, do some research on the top deals on offer for new customers from other providers and ask if your existing supplier will match them to entice you to stay. 3 If you don’t already have a bundle…

My 78-year-old grandmother, nana, doesn’t mince her words. And harsh as it can be, I couldn’t be more thankful because without her I may not be here today. Growing up in Glasgow, I’d always been a big girl. By the age of 18 I was 5ft 4in and 16st, but I never worried about it because I was popular and confident. when I went out with friends, I was first on the dance floor, twirling round in my size 20 denim mini. In denial Every Sunday my sister Nikki, then 13, brother Darren, nine, and I would go to my nana Elizabeth’s for dinner. ‘Maybe you should start watching what you eat,’ she said to me one time, as I took more roast potatoes. ‘what do you mean?’ I replied.…

We were enjoying a break away at our caravan in Lincolnshire. The weather was glorious so my husband George and I, and son Andrew, who’s also our carer, had been making the most of it. While they watched TV in the evenings, I loved catching up with my friends online at Woman’s Own Bingo – and playing a few games, of course. I’ve got to know so many people since joining the site. It’s such a friendly community in the chat rooms and I always get involved.
