Staring at my reflection in the hairdresser’s mirror, I couldn’t quite believe I’d gone through with it. While it might sound like a normal reaction for anyone trying out a new style, as a 42-year-old mum-of-two, I wasn’t patting myself on the back for having highlights nor had I gone for a trendy pixie cut – I’d dyed my blonde locks a bright fuchsia pink. I’m not alone in being so daring. From Helen Mirren to Kate Hudson and Cara Delevingne, a long line of celebs have tried the trend. But my reason for going pink is an altogether more personal one. I was just 29 when, in March 2000, I felt a dull ache and a lump in my left breast. Because of my age, my partner David and…

Update a classic suit with head-to-toe camel Invest in a neutral knit that can be worn alone or layered NEUTRALS: THE RULES * Keep a camel-based outfit interesting with sharp tailoring and a skinny rib knit. * This is a trend that will last you all season so invest in luxe wardrobe staples that fit and flatter. * Don’t be afraid to layer up. Try teaming a waistcoat over a long-sleeved top for daytime style. * Let your clothes do the talking – there is no need to add bold accessories. A masculine watch is all you need.…

Will an affair save my marriage? Some of my friends were joking about having affairs recently, but I’m beginning to wonder if having one might be the answer to the problems my husband and I have been having. I love my husband very much and would hate to even think of getting a divorce, but we never make love any more and I just can’t contemplate a life without sex. Someone I work with has made advances. Do you think I should go for it? Suzie says: An affair – and betraying the person you love – is never the answer and people who say it can save relationships are fooling themselves. Don’t fall for what is a self-serving and destructive lie. You can persuade yourself that sleeping with someone…

‘I’m worried about my daughter’ Q Is it normal for a child to get threadworms more than once? My daughter has had them three times in two years and I’m getting worried. A Threadworms are a very common childhood infection. They’re nothing to be afraid of, but perhaps your daughter hasn’t had proper treatment. The medicine comes in either tablet or liquid form and while it will kill the worms, it won’t kill the eggs, which will go on to hatch. They usually hatch within two weeks, so repeat treatment is advised. While the eggs aren’t hatched, ensure that your daughter washes her hands well once she’s used the toilet or she could end up transferring them to her mouth. Every family member should be treated too, as the worms…

‘I won £60,488!’ Amanda Boscoe, 51, couldn’t believe her luck when she won a huge jackpot... I was relaxing one evening and logged into my Woman Bingo account. I’d been a member of the site for three years and I’d had lots of little wins. I often played bingo and occasionally had a few spins on the Wonderland game. First-spin win With my first spin, I got lucky and won £48! I was chuffed, but then my laptop, which was old, froze. ‘Blasted thing!’ I thought. But a few seconds later, it came back to life and I gave it another spin. This time, the screen flashed gold. I wasn’t sure what it meant, but again my screen froze, so I couldn’t find out for a few minutes. Sunshine break…

As I headed out for an evening walk with my cavapoo, Marley, the bingo tickets I’d bought before I left the house drifted out of my mind. A member of Woman Bingo for just over a year, I had pre-bought six tickets for the Sapphire Lounge, spending 60p in total. I walked Marley for 45 minutes and when I got home, I went to wash my hair. Then I remembered the bingo tickets. ‘I better check in case,’ I thought. When I’d left the house, I had £7.40 in my Woman Bingo account. As I logged in, I caught a glimpse of my balance. But now it read £1,007.40! While I’d been out, I’d hit the jackpot, winning £1,000. I could hardly believe it! I was jumping for joy. Marley…

I’m quite a solitary person!’…

Kristina’s book is out this week, but I’m not worried in the slightest about what she’ll say about me! She’s a bit of a loose cannon and I do feel sorry for Daniel O’Donnell – when she first got paired with him I think she was gutted! But it was rather obvious she wasn’t going to get a hot, young celeb after everything that’s happened. It’s natural to fall in love with your dance partner when you’re spending so much time together, and Kristina’s managed it a few times! But somehow I don’t think that will be the case this time round... Happy-go-lucky Len Len’s much happier now he’s taking a break from the US show. He wants to enjoy his life rather than be sat behind a desk the…

Within the first two minutes of talking to ex-Ultimo boss Michelle Mone, it’s clear why she’s made her way to the top. Straight-talking and honest, Michelle, 43, and Michael, her husband of 19 years, split in 2011 when she accused him of having an affair with her head of design, Samantha Bunn – something he’s always denied. Now she explains she’s focused on the future. She recently sold Ultimo to pursue projects such as motivational speaking and designing her first jewellery collection for QVC. In our chat, Michelle – mum to Rebecca, 23, Declan, 19, and Bethany, 15 – relives her marriage breakdown and tells us why it’s the best thing that could ever have happened… ‘I’d never spoken about my personal life. Then my divorce opened everything up. It…

Going into hospital is never pleasant, but you just hope you’ll get the best care in a place where you’re safe. I should know – I’ve worked in a maternity ward for years. But when I was a patient in February 2012, something horrifying happened – and it was years before I’d even know… Until then, I’d been happy. While I worked long hours, days off were spent with my partner Chris*, our son Adam*, two, as well as Sam*, 13, and Karla*, nine, from a previous marriage. And though our family had been touched by tragedy – after I lost my dad in 2011 – we were all closer for it. A year on from Dad’s death, my brother James* and I went for a drink to toast his…

CLASSIC CAMEL Looking for a timeless classic that never goes out of style? Camel will go with everything and always looks expensive. FABULOUS FAUX Gone are the days of subtle fluffy coats.

TWEED & HERRINGBONE Add a traditional heritage feel to your look with woollen tweed or herringbone. Look out for a faux fur collar for extra style points too. CHIC SHEARLING Keep warm and snuggly in sheepskin. Stick to neutral tones of…

Fiona Phillips, 54, knows how terrifying Alzheimer’s is, after losing her parents to the disease. She took the test to see if she would fall victim, but in the end refused to see the results. She says, ‘I have that feeling that I’m bound to get it.’ Having watched her mum battle breast cancer, Kirstie Allsopp, 44, could undergo a preventative mastectomy, but she is undecided. Referring to the operation, she says, ‘I have my children, my stepchildren, and it could have more impact on my family to take that time out.’…

Rhod-dy good fun! Funnyman Rhod Gilbert admits he only became a comedian due to a ‘girlfriend’s nagging’. Within 18 months, he’d bagged a slew of awards and he’s now a regular on TV. Rhod, 46, wed writer and comic Sian Harries in August 2013. They split their time between London and Wales. Turning 30 filled me with dread, but 40 didn’t worry me at all! In fact, I was saying I was 40 from the age of 37 onwards. If people ask me my age now, I say, ‘I’m 50 in three years!’ I guess that’s a bit scary. Since I quit smoking, I’ve probably saved £10,000. I was a 30-a-day smoker – 60-a-day on weekends! I started as a teenager. I’d tried everything to stop, but in the end,…
