‘HE’S A BRILLIANT, HANDS-ON DAD’ Christine and Frank Lampard live a gilded life, with luxury holidays, designer wardrobes, a property empire and all the perks that can be afforded by a showbiz couple living on a presenter and footballer’s salary. But fame comes with a downside too, as Christine has recently revealed that she has been terrorised by a stalker. Speaking on an episode of Loose Women , Christine, 38, confessed that a man who has been trying to get in touch with her suddenly appeared at her hotel while she was away filming with Frank. ‘He thought we were married in his mind,’ she explained. ‘There were problems in his life and his own mind. He randomly turned up in the hotel we were staying in, which does freak…

1 Do your homework. It’s likely your child may know more about drugs than you do – either from the internet or rumours at school. Make sure you educate yourself with accurate, up-to-date information. The national drugs website, frank.com, is a reliable source of information. 2 Get them thinking. Play the ‘what if’ game to discuss different scenarios that your child may actually find themselves in. What if your best friend is using drugs? What if someone offers you pills at a party? Help them sort out the facts from the myths to arrive at their own decisions. 3 Listen. Lectures and warnings about drugs don’t always work as many teenagers want to feel like they can cope on their own. Instead, let them ask you questions. Keeping an eye…

Mum’s cancer is terminal Q We’ve just been told that my mum’s colon cancer is terminal and that she likely only has a few months left. She lives on her own near me, but wants to stay at home. I have two young children and want to be there for her but don’t really know how to help. A Firstly, I’m so sorry that your family is going through this difficult time. I would advise that you sit down with your mum and discuss what it is that she needs right now and what she would like as time progresses. This can be done with the help of your GP who will be able to refer you to your local social care team, who may be able to provide carers…

Should I experiment more in bed? What do you do when your loving husband of many years suddenly starts showing an interest in the sort of sex that does nothing for you? I don’t want to go into details – I’m sure you have the knowledge and imagination to know what I’m talking about – but it leaves me cold. I thought at first that maybe he’d been watching porn and was about to get really upset about it, when I realised it was actually a rather sexy film we saw in the cinema together that would have given him the idea. I don’t want to turn him down flat or push him away, but I wish I knew the way to say, ‘I’m just not into that!’ Suzie says:…

‘NOTHING FELT THE SAME’ The day I got married in 2009, I felt nothing but joy. Not a shred of doubt as I slipped on my ivory gown in the morning, nor a single butterfly as I walked down the aisle. You see, while most couples wonder what life will be like once they sign on the dotted line, my husband Hugh and I knew exactly what we were getting into. We’d already been there 18 years before, standing at the altar and pledging our love for one another. Only that time ended a little differently... Hugh and I were 15 when we first met. He was funny and sweet, and we quickly became best friends. Secretly, I think everyone suspected we’d end up as a couple. But as the…

So, what’s Toyah up to? She’s about to take over as landlady of the Rovers Return and has had another round of IVF, so it’s all about having a fresh start. She’s feeling hopeful – it’s all very upbeat! How did it feel returning to the cobbles last year? Obviously the character has changed quite a bit, she’s not that teenage eco warrior any more! But it was like putting on an old jumper – I feel like I’m rejoining a big old family. How does it feel to be part of a show that’s pushing boundaries? The show is in really strong shape, so I’m very proud to be part of it. The amount of research that has gone into the grooming storyline has just been phenomenal. Are there…

‘MY MUM WOULD FORGET ABOUT ME’ Over the years we’ve seen plenty of different sides to Davina McCall. There’s fun Davina, think Big Brother and The Jump , daredevil Davina in Life At The Extreme and big-hearted Davina in countless shows from Comic Relief to This Time Next Year . But when we meet to chat about the new series of ITV’s Long Lost Family, she’s in an altogether more reflective mood. The star reveals how she relates to some of the show’s heart-rending stories after she experienced difficult times in her own life.

Forget designer handbags and pedigree pooches. If you’re rich and famous, it seems the only accessory to have dangling off your arm is a man half your age. And, 43-year-old Hollywood actress Kate Beckinsale is the latest A-lister to have bagged herself a younger model. The divorced mum-of-one raised a few eyebrows when she was snapped in a passionate embrace with her new beau, 21-year-old actor Matt Rife, who’s only three years older than her daughter, Lily. But, as the newest member of the ‘toy boy club’, Kate is certainly in good company. She’s joined by 58-year-old Madonna, famous for her string of younger lovers, Cheryl, 34, who’s just had a baby with ex-One Direction star, Liam Payne (10 years her junior) and Fifty Shades of Grey…

‘THE TRAY RESTED ON MY BELLY’ Anyone who has tried to lose weight will tell you there’s one moment when suddenly they were spurred into action. For some it’s struggling to do up the button on their jeans, for others it might be a little more embarrassing, like breaking a chair. For me, it was something simple – seeing some holiday photos. I hadn’t always been big. Growing up I was always out on my bike and Mum would make sure I ate properly, cooking roast dinners and spaghetti Bolognese. As a result, throughout school I was a size 12, normal for my 5ft 5in frame. But that soon changed when, aged 18, I fell pregnant. While my partner, Barry, and I were so happy, I took it as an…

ARIES 21 Mar – 20 Apr Do not use that hot head of yours as a battering ram: hold your temper and avoid breaking a bond – or even a treasured object – in a fit of pique. Allow the stars instead to shift a deadlocked situation. TAURUS 21 Apr – 21 May Although this is the right time to tackle situations that could become problematic in the future, it is not the time to make an unnecessary enemy. In the event of an argument, keep those pipes of peace close at hand. GEMINI 22 May – 22 Jun Saturn aspects are rarely joyous but they have their uses and inspiring you to reach a firm decision is one of them. You can forge a long-term bond, such as marriage,…

While the Cambridges are currently putting on a show in Europe on their official tour of Germany and Poland, back home thoughts have already turned to the family’s impending move to London next month. The couple took the decision to permanently base themselves at Kensington Palace, as opposed to their country bolthole, Anmer Hall in Norfolk, to coincide with the start of Prince George’s schooling, as well as to better support the Queen by taking on more royal engagements. But William and Kate’s choice of primary school for their son has proved somewhat controversial. They have decided to send George to £6,000-a-term Thomas’s in well-to-do Battersea, nearly four miles away from their home and on the other side of the river Thames, meaning they will have to cross Battersea Bridge…

If you’ve only a week to go before you bare all on the beach, don’t panic. ‘It is possible to turn your weight around in a week,’ says nutritionist Lily Soutter. ‘And you certainly don’t have to starve yourself to get results. ‘The first thing to do is cut down carbs and sugars. Carbs break down sugar in the bloodstream and this is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen that binds to water. By avoiding bread, pasta, couscous and potatoes you’ll drop water pounds. You’ll lose fat pounds by eating fibrous vegetables, good quality proteins and healthy fats. These balance blood sugar levels, reduce hunger pangs and make it easier to burn stored fat.’ WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO 1 Cut out carbs Swap pasta for spiralised vegetables…

Brains & brawn He’ll always be best-known as EastEnders’ Grant Mitchell, but Ross Kemp is also an accomplished documentary maker. In fact, his wife, lawyer Renee O’Brien, doesn’t know him as anything else! Here, Ross, 52, talks about his Sky 1 show Extreme World … I don’t have a death wish. But I’ve always been too curious, and my two-year-old, Leo, is like that as well. He’s nosy, always looking out the window to see what’s going on. My mum was a hairdresser and I’d be drawn to her clients and get involved with their conversations. I loved it! So if you get paid to go to interesting places and meet interesting people, why not? My team are trained first-aiders, but I couldn’t…
