62 men were listed as top BBC earners, but only 34 women made the cut There are fears the BBC’s flagship Saturday night show Strictly Come Dancing has been left in turmoil following a series of shock revelations about the stars. Fans are claiming hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman could now be at loggerheads and that Tess must be ‘spitting feathers’ at her co-host. The claims come as the BBC was forced to release the salaries of its big earners, publishing a list of employees who make more than £150,000. Huge difference According to reports, Tess, 48, who has fronted the dance show since it began in 2004, earned between £350,000 and £399,999 last year. Yet Claudia, 45, who only became a permanent presenter on the show in 2014…

‘Silicone was leaking’ As we sat in the living room, my mum’s face was full of worry. ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ she asked. ‘You’re only just getting your life back…’ Looking down at my flat chest, I nodded. I was 38 and my marriage was all but over. How could I face the future, find love again, if I didn’t feel confident in my own body? That’s why I’d decided to have silicone implants, but after reading horror stories, Mum was concerned. ‘Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,’ I said, giving her a reassuring smile. I’d been getting lumps in my breasts since my early twenties and had endured countless operations. As well as the pain, there was always an agonising wait to find out if the…

What can you tell us about Trust Me? Jodie Whittaker’s character Cath pretends that she’s someone she’s not. She comes up to Edinburgh so she’s not known to anybody up here and my character Brigitte gives her a job as a doctor. She turns out to be just really, really good and I think that she’s heaven sent.

7.30am I usually get woken up with breakfast in bed: a plate of toast thrown at me by my wife! She’s normally up at half six, as our baby [Sadie, one] wakes then. I’m not a morning person – I’m like, ‘Don’t talk to me and don’t make eye contact!’ 8am My little lady Sadie comes in and shares Daddy’s toast. Then our two dogs – Dougie, a Staffordshire bull terrier, and Pickle, a Chihuahua – wait by the bed for scraps. Pickle is a pain – it was a bribe to my daughter India when she was five [she’s now 12] to give up the dummy. We didn’t really think it through! 8.45am I do the school run – which is a nightmare; everyone’s got a big 4x4 and…

3ways to... take care of your family’s teeth 1. Brush evenly Use your phone’s timer to check you’re cleaning for the same time on each side. ‘Dentists will be able to tell if you are left-handed by the gap left in the middle of your mouth,’ says dentist Elaine Tilling, head of clinical education at TePe. 2. Get kids into flossing ‘As soon as they have their adult teeth, flossing is to be encouraged,’ advises Elaine. ‘Young adults with tight teeth might find flossing tape easiest to use initially.’ 3. Mind the gaps For anyone with larger gaps between teeth, interdental brushes can be better than floss. They should slide in between. TePe Interdental Brushes (from £3, pack of six, Superdrug) have nine different sizes…

‘From then on, we approached life as though the dress rehearsals were over – everything had to count’ Four months before my mother died, I decided to put my own life on hold so I could devote myself to her throughout her final days. I remember sitting in my office, as she got sicker and my own to-do list grew ever longer, finding it impossible to concentrate on my work. I was drowning in deadlines and projects, but no matter what I was doing my every thought returned to the fact she would soon be gone. The phrase ‘I’ve got so much to do’ ran on a loop inside my head. So I asked myself, ‘What is the most important thing here?’ The answer was, of course, my dying mum.…

‘It was one bad date after another – I decided it was time for a break from men’ Serial dater Caroline Flack has revealed that she put herself on a yearlong relationship detox after failing to find lasting happiness with a string of back-to-back boyfriends. The Love Island presenter (inset) said that she felt ‘something had to change’. ‘Since my twenties I had just moved from one relationship to the next,’ she said. ‘Never had I given myself time to heal, so essentially I put myself into relationship rehab.’ After a 12-month self-imposed man ban, Caroline, 37, is back in the dating game. ‘I’m in a brilliant place,’ she said. But does it work out so well for everyone who takes a break from sex and relationships? ‘Completely giving up…

‘I was scared I wouldn’t remember the old Harry’ This photo is so special to me because it brings back so many happy memories. My little boy, Harry, adores Cinderella and here he is, sitting next to a real-life princess. His dad, Graham, and I had taken him on the magical Disney cruise last May.

It sounds like the stuff of nightmares, a world of deadly drugs becoming completely accessible to our children with the touch of a button. But sadly, it’s the terrifying truth facing parents today, as a shocking documentary by BBC Three has revealed.

Indigestion is all the same, isn’t it? Most of us have experienced the discomfort of indigestion at some point in our lives, often during pregnancy or after a late, heavy meal. For some, it’s heartburn causing a burning feeling in the chest. For others, it manifests itself as acid reflux, where stomach acid passes back up your throat. But experts say millions of us suffer from a ‘silent’ form of indigestion, without the more obvious symptoms. If left untreated, it can cause problems including difficulty swallowing and in rare cases, cancer of the oesophagus. So what is silent acid reflux? ‘People with acid indigestion have a loose valve (called the lower oesophageal sphincter) between the gullet and the stomach,’ explains Dr Sass Levi, Consultant Gastroenterologist at Spire Thames Valley Hospital.…

Q Last year in Spain I was given the choice between paying in pounds or euros when using my debit card. Does it matter which one you select? Rachel, 51, Leeds TARA EXPLAINS: Holidaymakers are often given a choice of currencies in Europe, either for withdrawing cash or paying for goods in shops and restaurants. But if you get it wrong it could add as much as £30 on to a £200 transaction. When you choose to pay in euros, your bank or credit card company works out the currency conversion for you. If you opt to pay in pounds, this calculation is left up to the foreign bank. It means you could end up paying a much worse rate, so you should always pay in euros. WATCH OUT Fake…
