EXCLUSIVE I lost five stone in a year and have kept it off by following five free unconventional rules: Anyone can do it and there's NO weight-loss jabs or gym required: NAOMI HOLBROOK
Naomi Holbrook, 50, remembers creeping down the stairs of her childhood home in Devon while everyone was sleeping to raid the kitchen cupboards. 'Mum was a brilliant home baker so there were always tins of flapjacks, sausage rolls and cheese straws that I couldn't resist. Both my parents were big on entertaining and if they'd had a dinner party, I'd also be in the fridge before breakfast helping myself to the 'naughty' leftovers. By the time I was eight years old my complex relationship with food had already begun.' A pupil at a 'competitive girl's school' where everyone else was 'slimmer and sportier', Naomi 'always felt like the big girl'.

RAF pilot's final flight in North Yorkshire after 45 years
An RAF pilot has said he was "quite emotional" after making his final solo flight after a 45-year flying career which saw him amass about 16,000 hours in the Lt Richard "Ricko" Offord, 64, from Richmond, North Yorkshire, first took to the skies for the air force in 1980 and has been based at RAF Leeming since his career, he piloted several different models of fast jet and in 1995 was forced to eject from his Tornado F3 after a mid-air Lt Offord said he was "a bit sad" about his retirement, and was saluted by fire engines upon landing at RAF Leeming and surprised by colleagues, family and friends, but added: "I've had a pretty good innings." After his final flight, Flt Lt Offord, who is RAF Leeming's longest serving fast jet pilot, said: "I started flying fighters in 1982. It's quite a long time, so I'm not too upset."However, he said his time in the sky had not fully come to an end."I'll carry on flying, but I can't do it in military planes," he explained."You can only do it up to age 65, unfortunately, and I'm 65 on Tuesday, so this is it." Asked about any dramatic incidents during his long career, Flt Lt Offord said: "I was once knocked out and woke up on the ground in Lincolnshire."We were doing air combat and I bumped into the other aircraft, so his tail and my wing came off. They don't fly very well without tails or wings."Pondering his lucky escape further, he added: "I didn't fly for a year due to back injuries, but all four of us ejected and everyone walked away, so that's the main thing."Speaking about the surprise welcoming committee and celebrations waiting for him after he landed for the final time in his Hawker Hunter at RAF Leeming, Flt Lt Offord said: "I had a little tear, to be fair.""I had no idea they were going to be here," he said."The whole reception with mates and fire engines, it's made me a bit emotional." Listen to highlights from North Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.

Watch the moment Stephen Mulhern is left red-faced as he makes HUGE blunder on Catchphrase puzzle
STEPHEN Mulhern made the ultimate slip-up during the latest episode of Celebrity Catchphrase. The TV host was seen on Saturday in the latest episode of the gameshow favourite, joined by Jeremy Vine, Charlie Hedges and comedian Luke Kempner. 6 6 As the group got to grips with the latest game – which shows famous sayings turned into cartoons for contestants to guess – Stephen found himself slipping up. Encouraging the gang to make a guess, the encouragement resulted in him accidentally spilling the answer himself. As the clip showed a man going into a coffee shop with rapidly increasing price tags until they burst through the ceiling, Stephen declared: "Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!" The contestants then stood in silence for a second as an embarrassed Stephen clocked what he had said. Jeremy Vine eventually broke the silence, pressing his buzzer and asking: "Sorry, what? Was that the answer?" Stephen then embarrassingly nodded and burst into fits of laughter alongside the cast and studio audience. "I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!" he admitted. Luke Kempner then joked: "I was just thinking 'this is a very tricky one, if it's not that!" before declaring Stephen had won himself £200. "We've got a bit of Catchphrase history here!" added Jeremy, poking fun and adding: "Roy Walker never did that." Stephen was soon crying with laughter before eventually regaining his composure and continuing with the game. Watch as three celebs fail to work out popular Catchphrase - but would you have got it on first try? Hopefully Stephen has learned his lesson - considering the show has already been given the go-ahead for an 11th series. If the three celebrities can 'say what they see' they could get the chance to win £50,000 for their chosen charity. ITV commissioner Gemma John-Lewis said: "We're delighted to announce a further series of the much loved family favourite, Celebrity Catchphrase. "The only show where you say what you see, the hugely popular series continues to win legions of fans and with Stephen's infectious and playful humour it's a firm favourite with our viewers." It is good news for the star after his other ITV programme, In For A Penny, was shelved after six years. 6 6 6
