Fern, 60, has landed a role in the touring production of Gary Barlow’s Calendar Girls musical, which means spending months apart from her TV chef hubby from August. The mum-of-four explained, ‘The tour is nine months, but my husband encouraged me to go, as did my kids.’ Opening up further on how she will miss home, Fern continued, ‘My youngest will be going through her A-levels and driving lessons while I’m gone.’ We hope that Phil has reserved a seat in the front row!…

We argue about money Q My partner and I keep arguing about money and his spending. We aren’t in debt but he has a bad way of just throwing cash away on things we don’t need, like a new games console or a flash holiday. I find I become panicky about how he thinks money will always be there but when I bring it up he gets angry, saying I blow things out of proportion. It’s driving a wedge between us as we just can’t talk about it without yelling. Leanne, 39 A Finances come high on the list of things couples argue about. The key here is not to find out who’s right and who’s wrong but to understand your differing approaches to money, so you can start to…

Meanwhile, Katie, 40, has also come under fire for appearing to spend less time with her children, Harvey, 16, Junior, 13, Princess, 11 this week, Jett, four, and Bunny, three.

The children are her life – she’d never do anything to put them at risk.’ On top of the fan backlash, harsh comments have suggested that some of…

However, we understand that Denise didn’t come back quietly, with the 60-year-old outlining a list of demands she wanted to be put in place if she were to consider rejoining the panel for good. ‘Denise has made it quite clear that she is back in control and won’t be outdone by celebrity guests,’ a source close to the star has revealed. Even though Denise’s return was only a one-off special, we’re told that she’s eyeing up a permanent spot on the panel and has big plans for her comeback. But, it’s clear…

KLASS ACT! The night kicked off with Classic Brit Awards co-host Myleene Klass. I asked her what would be the theme tune to her life. ‘Wonder Woman,’ she said, giving me a twirl worthy of the Amazonian superhero. ‘I need her cape, strength and full shebang.’ A woman after my own heart. BALL AND BOE! I congratulated Michael and Alfie on their success as a singing duo. ‘It was supposed to be a solo album,’ Alfie confided. ‘But unfortunately Michael broke his way into the studio and started singing along. He was working in the canteen before that,’ he added. TALKI NG ON THE AIR! Great to see Aled Jones out for the night, too. ‘Funnily enough, Michael Ball lives in the street next to me but we only ever…

When I look at my daughter, Claire, there are so many things I want to tell her – how proud I am, how much I admire her strength. But sometimes, I just want to tell her I’m sorry. At just 23, Claire has overcome so many obstacles in her life, and I only have myself to blame... I was 15 when I tried my first beer, at a party. I was usually painfully shy, but with the booze, I felt happy and confident. It wasn’t long before I was going to the pub every weekend. I looked older so getting served wasn’t an issue. As the years passed, my drinking got worse. On the way home from my hairdressing job, I’d nip into the off-licence and buy four cans. ‘It’s…

With his adorable smile and squishy cheeks, my son Josh is such a happy baby. Looking at him, it’s hard to believe just how much he’s been through, but the truth is my little boy has been fighting for life from long before he even took his first breath… I can still remember the excitement I felt when I discovered I was pregnant in 2015. My partner Karl, then 36, and I had only been trying for three months, it was perfect timing. And my son Leo, then six from a previous relationship, couldn’t wait to be a big brother.

With 45% of us suffering tummy issues, we now take up more than 10% of a GP’s daily workload*, but when do you really need to see a doctor? ‘Tummy pain is common and often not serious,’ says Dr Judith Holmes, who runs a private GP practice at Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull. ‘But if you have weight loss, changes in bowel habit or bleeding when you use the toilet, it’s important to see your doctor as you may need further tests and treatment.’ Here are some of the most common issues explained… Constipation Easily brought on by lack of exercise, too little sleep, medication, stress, a change in routine or dehydration, it’s no wonder that 44%** of UK adults use laxatives once a week to combat the problem.

What’s that foot pain? QI am a few weeks into a 20-week training programme for my first marathon at the age of 55 and have developed the most excruciating pain under the heel of my right foot. How can I get rid of it? Simple painkillers aren’t touching it. A You may have plantar fasciitis, which is inflammation of the fibrous tissue supporting the arch of the foot. It is common in middle-aged adults. I’m sorry but you will have to rest it for a while. Try rolling your foot back and forth over a bottle of frozen water and speak to your GP about stronger anti-inflammatories and stretching exercises.

‘It was a relaxed bit of me-time’ When I heard about online bingo, I had to see what all the fuss was about. My sister, Elaine, was a member on Woman’s Own Bingo, so I set up an account last year to have a go. I’d never really played bingo before, but my sister had moved to Hertfordshire, 170 miles away from where I lived in Devon, and now we’d often have a chat while playing it together. Honestly, I probably spent more time talking to my sister and the other players in the chatrooms than watching the numbers being called! We’d talk about everything, from the weather to where we were all going on holiday this year. Sometimes we even chatted about the bingo. My…

Aries 21 Mar – 20 Apr Sorry to say, but prepare for a frustrating, restless time. You find some people unashamedly go back on promises or just plain drive you round the twist.

The NHS is celebrating its 70th birthday this year and I truly hope it survives for many more decades. I think we often forget how lucky we are to have access to healthcare regardless of how much we earn, or who we are. It’s an institution we should invest in and be proud of. Brenda Mead, London Why is everyone so obsessed with Love Island ? My daughter was watching it the other night and I caught a glimpse – Dani Dyer was drying her fake eyelashes!
