I asked my girlfriend to send nude pics to my male pal – but now I fear I've pushed her into his arms
DEAR DEIDRE I asked my girlfriend to send nude pics to my male pal – but now I fear I've pushed her into his arms
DEAR DEIDRE: I ENCOURAGED my girlfriend to send nude pics to my male pal and it has turned out to be a foolish mistake.
Now I fear I've pushed her into his arms and I'm scared I'm going to lose her.
My partner has an awesome body which she loves to show off — and I can't get enough of it.
She has an hourglass figure with long legs and a tiny waist like Jessica Rabbit.
Knowing how much her body turns me on, she sometimes sends me naked snaps when we're not together to get me in the mood for sex when I come home, or just to tease and entertain me. We've been in a relationship for eight years and are in our mid-thirties.
Recently, I told her it didn't seem fair that only I was able to appreciate her incredible figure.
I said it was a shame nobody else could see the photos she sent me, and would she mind if I shared them with my friend?
She wasn't sure at first but, with a little persuasion, she agreed. I gave her my pal's number and told her to send pics to him directly.
He told me he was impressed.
A few days ago, I then caught her giggling over her phone. When I asked what was funny, she blushed, and said my friend had sent her some pics of his own.
They were of his penis.
I felt insanely jealous — he's very well endowed, far bigger than me.
Spotting the signs your partner is cheating
I then got hold of her phone while she was in the shower and discovered she has started sending him pictures — and even videos — that she hasn't sent me. I feel sick and so angry with myself.
I'm sure they're heading for an affair but I don't know what to do.
DEIDRE SAYS: Your jealousy is quite understandable but you didn't think through the possible consequences of your request.
Now, unfortunately, things have taken an unwelcome turn and you feel out in the cold.
But what's going on between them isn't entirely clear.
Perhaps she's upset with you for wanting to share her photos and this is how she's getting her own back. Maybe she thinks it's what you want.
Alternatively, as you fear, she may now have fallen for your friend.
Whatever the situation, if you want to save your relationship, you need to tell her how you feel and ask her to be honest with you.
My support pack, Looking After Your Relationship, should help you both.

I'M AFRAID TO REVEAL OUR MIXED-RACE AGE-GAP LOVE
DEAR DEIDRE: THE woman I'm having sex with is older than me and from a different culture. I'm worried people will judge me.
I'm 25, white British, and she's 38, black African. We met at a church group where we were both volunteering last year. I thought she was drop-dead gorgeous but never dreamt anything could happen.
Then we bumped into each other on the train and she asked if I wanted to go for a drink. We did, and when I walked her home, I kissed her goodbye.
There was so much chemistry between us. She asked me to come in and we had mind-blowing sex.
Since then, we've been seeing each other regularly, having lots of sex and amazing conversations too, but I haven't told anyone.
I think they'll call me her toy boy, or call her a cougar, or make derogatory comments on her skin colour.
What should I do?
DEIDRE SAYS:Your relationship is nobody else's business and you have no obligation to go public.
If anyone judges you, it's either because they are jealous or racist.
Age-gap relationships and those with people from different backgrounds do have their challenges because you have different life experiences and are at different stages, but they can work.
Enjoy getting to know this woman. Your feelings may grow or fizzle out.

HIS LONG LUNCHES HAVE ME WORRIED
DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN I secretly turned on my husband's phone tracker, I opened a can of worms.
I thought it would be fun to see what he got up to each day, but now I am convinced he's having an affair because he has lied about where he goes for lunch.
I feel so upset but can't tell him why without giving away the fact I've tracked him.
We've been married for ten years and are in our early forties.
I followed his movements for a week – and for three days in a row he went to a cafe near his office and stayed for an hour.
When he came home, I asked what he'd had for lunch. He told me he'd bought a sandwich at Boots the first day, and had something in the canteen on the others.
I know that's not true. He must be meeting another woman at the cafe.
DEIDRE SAYS: Tracking someone secretly is a bit like reading their diary. It rarely ends well.
Your husband may not be cheating. It's possible he lied about the cafe because he doesn't want you to know he's spending extra money on lunch.
But the fact you tracked him suggests a pre-existing trust issue, even if you weren't conscious of it.
Talk to him, explain you're not feeling completely secure in the relationship, and ask for reassurance. My support pack, Looking After Your Relationship, has tips.
GROOMING KIDS IN HER HOT TUB
DEAR DEIDRE: I WAS horrified to see the middle-aged woman next door in her hot tub with a young boy.
It seemed totally inappropriate and I'm worried the child is being groomed.
One evening, a few weeks ago, I looked out of my bedroom window and saw that my neighbour was in her hot tub. With her was a child, who looked around 11 or 12.
She must be in her late fifties, doesn't have children and is a bit of a loner. I'm 46 and live with my husband and daughter.
I don't know if the boy is related to her but it made me feel very uncomfortable. A few nights later, I saw them together in the hot tub again. This time my gut told me something perverse or evil was going on.
I spoke to another neighbour who said she had also become aware of this and was worried about it. She said she'd seen other children going to the house too, at other times. I think I need to report this to someone but I'm not sure who to speak to.
I'm not certain a crime is happening and have just my instincts.
I don't want to get anyone into trouble if there's an innocent explanation. What should I do?
DEIDRE SAYS: What you describe does sound extremely concerning and you're right to want to tell someone.
You could contact the police or social services but it would be wise to get some advice first.
Don't confront this woman yourself. Call the NSPCC free on 0808 800 5000 to explain your concerns. You can also contact the Stop It Now helpline which helps prevent child abuse (stopitnow.org.uk, 0808 1000 900).
My support pack, Worried A Child's At Risk, has more guidance on what to do if you're that worried abuse is taking place.

Harry's response to charity row is typically him – blame others and then flounce off instead of trying to fix things
Harry has never learned to sit with discomfort, to fix what's failing - instead, he blames... then bails ROYAL BAILOUT Harry's response to charity row is typically him – blame others and then flounce off instead of trying to fix things PRINCE Harry has flounced out – yet again. This time, not from the monarchy. Not from a podcast deal. Not from the Army, that many believe he quit too soon. Advertisement 6 Prince Harry's response to the Sentebale row is typically him Credit: PA:Press Association 6 Harry exited the charity following an ugly row with the chair of trustees, Dr Sophie Chandauka Credit: PA 6 Harry co-founded the charity in memory of his mother, Princess Diana Credit: PA:Press Association This time, from Sentebale – the worthy African children's charity he co-founded in memory of his mother, Princess Diana. Once a passion project. Now just another scorched bridge. The exit wasn't quiet or dignified. It followed an ugly row with the chair of trustees, Dr Sophie Chandauka, a punchy Zimbabwean-born lawyer and major donor. Advertisement Several trustees stepped down, too. What followed was familiar: leaked emails, bullying allegations, duelling statements and headlines Harry tried — and failed — to control. Now comes the Charity Commission's verdict: No laws broken. But the rebuke was clear: governance failures, damaging behaviour and a serious lack of leadership. Advertisement Harry insists he was forced out. That the chair was impossible to work with. That the environment had turned toxic. What else could he do? Harry always throws toys out of pram - latest charity move is childish But leadership isn't about walking away when the mood turns. In any serious institution — royalty, the boardroom or charity — you don't storm out. Advertisement You stay in the room. You resolve the problem for the greater good. Instead, Harry bailed. Same old story. And like so many of his recent exits, this one fits the pattern. When pressure mounts and compromise is needed, he withdraws. Rather than engage, Harry flushed red and scarpered back to the luxury of Montecito, and Megs to mop his furrowed brow Robert It's a shame. Because Sentebale mattered. Advertisement Founded in 2006, it provides long-term support to children in Lesotho and Botswana affected by HIV and poverty. It wasn't a vanity project. It was purposeful — touching the lives of 100,000 youngsters — and at one point, so was Harry. I travelled to Lesotho with him twice. I saw the work up close. Those children in need of help didn't see him as a prince. They saw someone who listened, who cared, somebody who came back. Advertisement His presence wasn't performative. It was real. His royal rank and media profile opened doors. His conviction helped break stigma of HIV/AIDS, just as his late mother had done right at the outset of the fight. For years, he gave Sentebale visibility and momentum. It was, without question, his most meaningful contribution. But cracks appeared. His decision to quit royal life was costly. In 2023, Dr Chandauka initiated a financial review. Advertisement She flagged a sharp drop in donations following Harry's withdrawal from royal duties; income fell to £2.39million in 2020, though later rebounded. She reportedly labelled his image a 'reputational risk' and raised questions about whether he was now more liability than asset. Rather than engage, Harry flushed red and scarpered back to the luxury of Montecito, and Megs to mop his furrowed brow. No formal rebuttal. No quiet diplomacy. No attempt to repair. Advertisement He threw his toys out of the pram. He could have shown resolve, offered solutions, and strengthened the structure. Instead, he vanished. And that's what makes this so frustrating. Harry had no shortage of templates to help lead through turbulence. His grandfather, Prince Philip, oversaw the Duke of Edinburgh's Award for more than six decades — often in silence, always with rigour. His son Edward, the new Duke, is its leader. Advertisement His father, King Charles, spent years building The Prince's Trust — now the King's Trust — from a niche programme into a national institution. 6 Harry listens to American PR consultants and is guided, above all, by his Duchess, Meghan Markle Credit: Instagram His sister-in-law, Catherine, champions important causes such as early years development with longevity, consistency and focus. His brother, William, leads Earthshot, a well-structured mission with financial backing. Advertisement None of them walked out mid-crisis. They worked through it. Harry could have done the same. He could have stayed on the board in a non-executive role. Helped recruit new trustees. Brought in independent mediators. Stabilised the organisation rather than adding to the unrest. Advertisement But that would have required discipline — and a willingness to listen. 'Squandered legacy' Instead, he defaulted to the same script: leave, blame, reposition. And this time, the people most affected weren't palace courtiers or out-of-pocket podcast executives. They were the children of Lesotho — many living with HIV, others orphaned, some still stigmatised. Those were the ones who stood to lose most. Advertisement The pattern goes back further. His early exit from the Army — ten solid years of exemplary service, but he chose not to be a career soldier and go on, to rise further through the ranks and gain his braided uniforms on merit rather than royal birthright. His abrupt departure from working royal life. His mudslinging. His family ties frayed. Promises to reinvent himself in California have mostly yielded media spats, stalled projects and carefully lit documentaries. What's missing is institutional maturity. And staying power. Advertisement This isn't about empathy or charisma; Harry has plenty of both. But he's never learned to sit with discomfort, to fix what's failing. Instead, he blames. Then bails. Since relocating to Montecito, his inner circle of advisers has narrowed. 6 The Prince defaulted to the same script: leave, blame, reposition, pictured with charity leaders and Dr Chandauka far right Credit: Getty Advertisement He listens to American PR consultants and is guided, above all, by his Duchess, Meghan Markle — who built her brand around control and survival, not compromise or tradition. The problem is that leadership — particularly in the charitable sector — requires grit, continuity and people willing to challenge you, not flatter you. It's not that Dr Chandauka is beyond reproach. Under her tenure, annual accounts remain unpublished, and the next set is delayed until 2025. She may face valid questions. But here's the telling detail: the Commission didn't ask her to go. She stayed. Harry didn't. Advertisement Now his team says Harry will support African kids 'in new ways.' In practice, that means nothing. His seat at the Sentebale table is empty. His voice, once essential, is absent. It's the institutional equivalent of ghosting. And this wasn't just another cause. This was personal. Advertisement A living tribute to his mother. One of the few initiatives he helped build from the ground up. He could have pushed for reform. Brought in fresh trustees. Set a better standard. The Harry I saw in Lesotho back in 2006 –- he had a purpose. A spark. A sense of something larger than himself. Now, all we're left with is another clean break, and another promise unkept Robert The options were there. What they didn't need was drama. What they couldn't survive was abandonment. This isn't scandal. It's waste. A squandered legacy. A cautionary tale. Advertisement Another institution left to sweep up the debris of brand-driven burnout. The headlines will fade. The charity may recover. But something has shifted. The Harry I saw in Lesotho back in 2006 –- he had a purpose. A spark. A sense of something larger than himself. Now, all we're left with is another clean break, and another promise unkept. Advertisement When Harry chose the name Sentebale, it meant forget-me-not — a tribute to Diana and her favourite flowers. It was a promise never to let her memory fade. Well, sadly, it looks like he's done just that.

Rock superstar back with ex girlfriend five months after dramatically splitting as pair look at properties together
A pal who confirmed the pair had rekindled their romance has also revealed how Ozzy Osbourne's death impacted the rock star HAPPIER NOW Rock superstar back with ex girlfriend five months after dramatically splitting as pair look at properties together Yungblud is back with girlfriend Jesse Jo Stark five months after they parted. US singer Jess, who is Cher's goddaughter, started dating the British punk rocker in 2020. 8 Brit punk rocker Yungblud has reunited with ex Jesse Jo Stark, Cher's goddaughter, five months after they split Credit: Click News and Media 8 Our exclusive snaps show Yungblud and Jesse house‑hunting in London, pausing at a window marked 'heart and soul' Credit: Click News and Media But the pair called it quits in March after he said he needed to be 'a better boyfriend, a better brother, son, a better artist'. Now they're an item again, and my exclusive pictures show Yungblud — real name Dominic Harrison — and Jesse on a day out in London. They were looking at properties in an estate agent's window that had the words 'heart and soul' written on it. A pal confirmed they have rekindled their romance and said: 'Dom and Jesse are super-happy together. 'They had been dating for a long time when they chose to slow things down. 'A lot was happening in Dom's life and he wanted to get his head straight so he could give his all to Jesse. 'So happy' 'They started getting more serious again a few weeks ago and they're doing really well. 'Dom and Jesse went off on a short holiday together too, which was much needed, especially for Dom. Losing Ozzy Osbourne, who was a great friend to Dom, has been really difficult. 'If anything, it's taught him to grasp each day with both hands. 'Their friends are thrilled to see them together again and so happy.' YUNGBLUD - teresa Chatting about their split in May, Patience singer Dom, who has three No1 albums under his belt, said: 'It was a 'me' problem. Everything is a 'me' problem. 'I was drowning, and I couldn't figure out why. I've literally got a tattoo of her under my arm. 8 The death of his friend Ozzy Osbourne hit Yungblud hard Credit: Getty 'I don't know what it is. We needed space, we needed time, and she's giving me that, because she truly gets me. I needed to look at myself in the mirror, on my own for a while.' Despite spending time apart, Dom made it clear he was still head-over-heels for Jesse, who released her debut album Doomed in 2022. Dom, who today opened his first fan club and shop at 20 Denmark Street in London, previously told the We Need To Talk podcast: 'She's probably the most incredible person I have ever met and she's my best friend and I feel so lucky to be in her orbit. 'I got to talk this through with her and she understood and she needed a moment. 'We talk every Sunday. Ultimately, I think in my life, all roads lead to her because I love her. I never loved anything like I love her. 'I love her as everything. And I love her as if I'd love water. I need it, you know. I think I'd never experience love like it — when you could be that honest with another human being, even in times when we're not technically together.' Anne dances with Devil 8 Anne Hathaway channels Gene Kelly as she dances around a lamppost while filming in New York Credit: Getty Forget The Devil Wears Prada – Anne Hathaway looks more primed for a reboot of 1952 classic Singing In The Rain. The American actress was seen dancing around a lamppost, just like Gene Kelly did 73 years ago, as she filmed scenes for the upcoming sequel of the fashion film in New York. Anne, alongside co-stars including Meryl Streep and Patrick Brammall, has been spotted working on the new movie in the Big Apple for the past few weeks. The sequel is out on May 1 next year and promises more bitchiness than ever, as fearsome Miranda Priestly struggles with new rival and former assistant Emily Charlton, played by Emily Blunt. I can't wait. So, rest for the Wicked 8 Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will scale back the promo for their Wicked sequel - with no London premiere planned Credit: Getty Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo were practically unavoidable last autumn as they promoted the first Wicked film – from chat shows to viral interviews and appearances at no less than five premieres. But some of you will be breathing a sigh of relief, as I can reveal they have drastically scaled down the promotion for the second and final instalment of the movie musical, Wicked: For Good. I've been told there are no plans for a premiere in London. Instead, a single launch event will take place in New York ahead of its release on November 21. On top of that, leading ladies Ariana and Cynthia, who play Glinda and Elphaba, will only do a fraction of the interviews they did for the original. A movie insider said: 'The reaction to the first movie was incredible and studio bosses feel like people are locked in now, so are bound to buy tickets to see the second film. 'The marketing spend on the first movie was astronomical, so they think they can save a fortune by cutting back this time and just riding on the momentum from part one. 'And hopefully people won't get as tired of Cynthia and Ari this time.' I've heard it's been a long road to complete the second film and despite the fact filming officially wrapped more than 18 months ago, the movie is yet to be completed. I've no doubt this one will still be Popular. Kesha knows how to get a head 8 Kesha posing with a life-like model of her own head Credit: Instagram Kesha gave a very literal meaning to 'losing your head' in her latest social media post. The American singer shared a rather odd video dancing and posing with a life-like model of her own bonce. Kesha captioned the Instagram video: 'What's your red flag?' I think it's safe to say mine is this. Danny's a salad tosser 8 Danny Dyer has teamed up with Deliveroo to inspire Brits with creative barbecue side dishes Credit: Mike Buck / Deliveroo Danny Dyer has confirmed what his critics have long thought, declaring: 'I'm proud to be a tosser.' But his declaration of being a bit of d**k isn't all as it seems. The ex-EastEnders and Rivals actor has teamed up with Deliveroo to create a load of fancy barbecue side dishes. It is in a bid to get Brits to be more creative this summer. He promotes the delivery app's new 'Freshness Promise', which means customers get their money back if groceries aren't brought fresh to their door. Danny, below, who filmed a hilarious video with Deliveroo to announce the launch, said: 'Salads and sides have been mugged off at barbecues, left in the shadows while the main event gets all the glory. 'I'm here to tell you it's time to embrace your inner tosser . . . ' I'll try my best, Danny. Radio 1's Mollie King has revealed she was away from her DJ role to have surgery. The ex-Saturdays singer wrote on Instagram: 'I had to take some time off in July for an operation but everything went well and I'm doing much better now. 'I'll be back on air in September and can't wait.' A taste of the fame game If you love all things showbiz and celebrity, then we have discovered the perfect event for you. A new theatre show called Fame*Factory is launching at Immerse LDN this October. The show in East London is created by Done + Dusted, the team behind the Oscars, MTV's VMAs and the Brits. It gives people the chance to live their very own A-lister dream. As well as spending the night emulating your favourite celebrity, you have your own publicist on hand to help as you embark on making your big-screen debut. Plus, guests will be taught how to pose for the paparazzi, to give an Oscar-worthy speech and be told what not to do in a crisis. Talking of which, the Bizarre team can think of a couple of bona fide stars who could do with a refresher . . . Grease is the word as park hosts Rydell High 8 For just six weeks, Evolution in London's Battersea Park has been transformed into a real-life Rydell High School Credit: Alamy Most people I know have watched Grease ten times over. But I'm willing to bet they haven't seen a version as amazing as Secret Cinema's. For just six weeks, Evolution in London's Battersea Park has been transformed into a real-life Rydell High School. Rather than simply watching the show, you are transported into the story itself, with the scenes between Danny and Sandy, right, playing out around them. From the school canteen to the car mechanics, every key moment is recreated throughout the venue. Blurring the lines between what is part of the performance or not, guests are also encouraged to come in fancy dress. Having never been to a Secret Cinema show before, I was on the fence as to whether it would do film justice. But no expense has been spared on the sets, which include a working fairground. If you're looking for fun on these summer nights, this is the one that you want.
