Peter Andre in a blackface row? He has to pay the rent somehow
Good day, dearest Times reader — and welcome to the week where yet more twists and turns were revealed in the enduring saga of The Divorce of Daytime TV Mum & Dad, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.
As longtime followers of this dying love will recall, the former This Morning couple Ruth and Eamonn separated last year, after Eamonn's legs (briefly) stopped working and he then started dating a woman 22 years younger than him who specialises in counselling couples over 'affairs and betrayals'. Which I guess was … handy.
Ruth then followed all the classic stages of Middle-Aged Divorce Grief: a glamorous new blonde hairdo, followed by photos on Instagram of a beach holiday with her girlfriends, drinking champagne and looking very jolly.

Is 'bad attitude' useful? Fans on Cunha signing
We asked for your views on Matheus Cunha signing for Manchester are some of your comments:Nick: I'm happy with this. We're creating, but not scoring, so getting someone in who has experience scoring in the Premier League can only be a good I think it is a fantastic signing in this struggling Manchester United era. I see hope because he can play in so many positions in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 and United need goals, that's all they Cunha has the skills but does he have the temperament for the most 'under the microscope' and 'under pressure' club currently in the world? I hope so but so much needs to change around him to get the best from him. Let's hope Amorim's plan gets the support from the boardroom. I'm still holding my At last; the right player, at the right price and at the right age. What could go wrong?Karl: Definitely a step in the right direction. His stats say he has everything we've been missing - awareness, speed, balance, a finishing edge and above all, confidence. Can't wait to see how he works alongside the likes of Amad, Fernandes and Yes, he's renowned for his 'bad attitude' but that's just because he wants to win, which is an attitude sadly lacking in quite a few of our current squad. I seem to recall a certain Mr Cantona was slated for his attitude when we signed him!
