Susanna has been at the brunt of more attacks after she was seen on Good Morning Britain licking Angel Delight off her fingers. The presenter sent Twitter into meltdown after she used her finger instead of a spoon while filming an article on retro foods. As she tasted it, she said, ‘Mmm, that’s good. That’s sweet. That’s really sweet.’ Viewers immediately took to online forums to vent their anger. ‘Annoying woman,’ one said, with another adding, ‘The woman’s desperate!’ A further comment read, ‘Pathetic and embarrassing.’ This isn’t the first time that Susanna, 44, has come under fire for her on-air shenanigans. Since joining the show last year, she’s been accused of flirting with male guests, including the Prime Minister, as well as accidentally flashing her…

Ruth and Eamonn may have their cross words, but they’re happy to share the lighter side of their relationship, too. The pair have been teasing each other on Twitter about their beach bodies, with Eamonn posting a photograph of a tubby, bikini-clad old lady ornament with the comment, ‘Having a lovely day with my darling Ruth just soaking up the sun Ruth . Doesn retorted ’t she , look posting chilled a picture ? #sunbathing of five overweight ’. , bronzed men in skimpy Speedos with the caption: ‘Nice to see Eamonn Holmes and his brothers getting together.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a daddy’s girl. With his booming laugh and ability to make me split my sides, my dad Roy was special. He always had time for me and my sister Donna, who was two years older. We’d spend hours playing in the garden and listening to his silly stories. Even when I moved out aged 22, Dad was always turning up at the door with his toolbox. And when my husband Paul and I had our daughter Charlotte, in June 1997, he’d spend his time with her. Sadly, Mum and Dad split five years later – they’d simply grown apart – but it didn’t affect the bond he had with me and Donna, and our younger brother Andrew, who was 15 at…

Slash the cost of your weekly shop Those sneaky supermarkets are still up to their old tricks, but this time we’re on to them! Here are our five shopping rules to help you avoid the most common pitfalls… RULE ONE BEWARE ‘SHRINKFLATION’ No, you’re not imagining it – some products at the supermarket really are shrinking in size, often by 2-5%. And yet when this happens, stores may not reduce the prices. For example, we’ve seen some chocolate bars dropping from 48g to 40g and frozen veg going from 750g to 690g, but the price tag remains exactly the same – or worse, goes up! RULE TWO DON’T SEE RED Supermarkets often use red stickers within packaging and displays to con us into thinking that the price has been cut.…

As a busy mum, I love to have some me time now and then. So when my girls, Lucy, six, and Tammy, four, are tucked up in bed, I wind down with a few games of online bingo. I’ve tried a few sites, but Woman’s Own Bingo is by far my favourite. I’ve never been on such a friendly site and it’s so easy to use. What’s more, I always see players celebrating their wins in the chat rooms. I’ve been a fan of bingo for a few years and it was my mum Angela who recommended I sign up. In fact, I often see her in the chat rooms when I’m playing. What’s great about playing online is that there is a huge choice of games. As well as…

Shocking story I was shocked when I read ‘Lured to death by the person they trusted’, about Claire’s two young boys being murdered by their dad. To think someone could do that to their own flesh and blood is so disturbing. I wish Claire all the best and hope she can find some happiness after an horrific ordeal. At least she can find comfort in giving her boys a legacy through her charity work. Helen Baxter, Bridlington Aidan’s back! It’s great to hear that Aidan Turner will be back on our screens for the adaptation of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None . Though I must say I prefer him with longer hair… Elaine Goodman, via Facebook Cheer up, Dawn I love reading about Dawn French – she’s such…

‘He can’t sing!’ Sinitta has been desperate for a spot on the X Factor judging panel since the show began, but another year has gone by without her dream job offer. So the star has slammed the person who did get the top role. ‘I begged Simon for a spot on the panel,’ said Sinitta. ‘I don’t get his decision to choose Nick Grimshaw – he can’t sing! How can he judge other singers?’ But Sinitta, 51, isn’t giving up her dream just yet, adding, ‘I won’t stop begging. My kids often bug me for things and won’t stop until I give in. So that’s the tactic I’m using.’ A very British problem! James Corden hasn’t forgotten his roots since moving to the States. In fact, he’s been thinking about…

It’s been almost a year since we saw last year’s contestants sweat it out over their rolling pins to win the title of Great British Bake Off champ, and now judges Mary Berry, 80, and Paul Hollywood, 49, are gearing up to put another group of wannabe bakers to the test. They’ll once again be working alongside the show’s presenting dream team, Mel Giedroyc, 47, and Sue Perkins, 45. Here, we caught up with the four of them to find out what we can expect from this year’s series… Hi, all. You guys are such a strong team. If one of you was to go would you all leave? MARY & PAUL Yes! MEL That’s probably true – The Musketeers. SUE Mel and I don’t always…

Is he a stalker? I’ve been in a serious relationship with a man for the last two years. Even though I love him, I ended it because he was so jealous and possessive. He refuses to accept the relationship is over and rings, emails, texts and even drops by my house. I tried to be friends, but that just made things worse. Now I’ve blocked his number from my phone and hidden him from Facebook, but I’m worried that this is beginning to feel like stalking. Sara, 33, Manchester I’m really sorry to hear that your ex is behaving this way. Have a look at stalkinghelpline.org or call 0808 802 0300. If it feels like stalking, then it probably is stalking. If you haven’t yet made it crystal-clear that you…

I’ve always loved bingo and used to go to my local hall with my mum and sisters. But as we got older, it became more difficult for us to get to the hall. But it didn’t mean I had to give up bingo as I could start playing online! So I joined Woman’s Own Bingo and I haven’t looked back since… The thing I love about the site is that it feels just like being at a local hall. The way the games look is brilliant and it’s really easy to get used to. I’m busy during the week with my part-time job, so I usually play around my shifts. Sometimes I play in the morning and at other times I’ll play in the evening on…

Klass war! Myleene Klass has sparked a bitter war with ex-husband Graham Quinn. The TV presenter, 37, was discussing their marriage when she said her biggest mistake was not making him sign a prenup, adding, ‘That was as stupid as it gets.’ But her ex, who she was with for 12 years, has hit back, saying, ‘Please explain to me how I took your money? I lost so much money from our divorce and our house we bought together.’ Graham, 41, who has two children with Myleene, Ava, seven, and Hero, four, added, ‘One day I hope you will put your children first and let them see their father instead of focusing on lies to boost your career.’ Bikini BASE!  Denise Welch certainly isn’t shy about reaching for the bikini…

Ruth Langsford has admitted that her husband of five years, Eamonn Holmes, has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to her nagging. The 55-year-old made the frank admission about their relationship, saying, ‘[About] that nag thing… Eamonn accused me of that at the weekend because he, once again, made himself a sandwich. The kitchen looked like it had been burgled, the butter was still out with the top off and I had cleaned the kitchen in the morning. I came down and said, ‘Oh, for God’s sake, put the butter away!’ and his immediate reaction was, ‘Oh, stop nagging!’ It just spurts out of him!’ Ruth has previously spoken about her ‘failure’ when it comes to house-training 55-year-old Eamonn, admitting that she runs around after him – just like his…

‘I realised you didn’t have to be thin to be pretty ’ Most women dream of being slim – they can spend half their lives yearning for a small waist. And there was a time when that’s all I wanted too. I’d look at my younger sister, Becky, and believe that I needed to look like her. Yet that dream took me to the darkest of places. It wasn’t until my life took an important turn that I finally realised just how wrong I’d been… I actually started life being way too tiny! I was born in 1983, eight weeks premature, weighing just 2lb. By contrast, when Becky came along two years later, she was 9lb. For those first years, it stayed that way – me the…

With his flash cars and expensive suits, architect Graham Dwyer was every inch the suave businessman. And while his life reads like something from an EL James novel, the Christian Grey parallels don’t stop there. Just like the 50 Shades Of Grey character, Graham, from Dublin, harboured bondage fantasies – and he was looking for someone to share them with. Yet, when chains and handcuffs were discovered in a reservoir in 2013, Graham’s secret life was about to unravel… Six years earlier, in 2007, despite being a married dad-of-three, Graham, then 35, began trawling the internet to find someone who shared his dark desires. Just 10 minutes away, in a suburb of Dublin, lived childcare worker Elaine O’Hara, 31. She’d had a troubled life – after being bullied and then…

A few years ago, I saw an ad for Woman’s Own Bingo. The site looked fun, so I decided to give it a go and I’ve been a member ever since. My favourite game is Snap. It’s great because you get five hands in each game and it’s just 20p a hand. I work as a data processor in the week, so I tend to play at the weekends, usually when my husband is not using the PC, as we only have one at home. One night, a few months ago, I was sat at the computer with our Jack Russell, Ruby. I bought some tickets for Snap and was going to play five hands. As the game began, I turned to give Ruby a stroke, but by the time…

The nation has been in love with Alex Jones ever since she first popped up on our screens as co-host of The One Show in 2010. Since then, she’s waltzed round our living rooms in Strictly and brought us acrobatic celebs in Tumble . Here, Alex, 38, talks about dating stars and on-air nerves. Hi, Alex! You’ve interviewed loads of celebrities now – do you still get nervous? Not really, but then I’ve never been overawed by famous people… I do lose it sometimes – usually if there’s a good-looking man involved. And that’s not because they’re famous, it’s because they’re fit! Has there been anyone in particular? David Beckham. We did a show in Cornwall with him, when…

‘I’ve put on half a stone’ Myleene Klass, 37, on why her new show BBQ Champ has a lot to answer for! We love your new show BBQ Champ ! Don’t! I’ve put on 7lb. I thought it was just going to be sausages, burgers and chips, ketchup and undercooked chicken. But it was puddings, smoking strawberries and infusing ice cubes for cocktails – it’s been seriously unbelievable. Do you cook? I don’t cook but I like to get involved with the family. I like the social aspect of barbecuing – you invite everyone round, people eat off sticks and they’re still in your house at 11pm. My girls love it – Ava will have anything but Hero will only eat macaroni cheese, so a barbecue can…

We caught up with her to talk about what makes her happiest, why she loves her hair and her fondness of the word ‘fantastico’… What’s been your proudest moment? Being a true news journalist. The first time that I sat in the News At 10 studio and heard the bongs, I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m doing News At 10!’…
