Kerry Katona found love on Celebs Go Dating after heartbreak as age gap shared
Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona, 44, confirmed her break-up from Ryan Mahoney, 36, in November last year but it's claimed she's now found love again Kerry Katona had reportedly found love on Celebs Go Dating after her split from ex Ryan Mahoney last year. The former Atomic Kitten singer, 44, confirmed her break-up from Ryan, 36, in November last year. He then moved out of their shared house, bringing to an end their six-year romance. After her split, she enjoyed a holiday in Thailand, where she said she had experienced a "real spiritual awakening". She recently said about her single life: "I'm not heartbroken anymore and feel like I know that Ryan wasn't the one for me." And now, it has been reported she has moved on with a personal trainer, Paolo Margaglione. According to reports, Paolo is 33 and "neither of them is bothered by the age-gap" "Kerry looks better than most women half her age at the moment, and is young at heart," a source told The Sun. "Paolo thinks she's super sexy and has told all his mates that he is the lucky one. "Meanwhile, Kerry loves the fact that she has a younger man again." The Mirror have reached out to Kerry's reps for comment. According to his social media page, Paolo is a father of two who works as an online personal trainer. After her holiday in Thailand, Kerry revealed to New Magazine: "I'm now working on creating my own relaxation package here at The Beach Samui Hotel, where people will be able to book a week-long holiday. "I'm a single woman and am in the best relationship of my life, which is with myself. I know people do things like dry January and diets, but I don't drink much anyway and like to work on myself every day, so I'm not into any of that." Earlier in the year, Kerry hinted that the split wasn't just due to a 'breach of trust' as she seemingly revealed there to be more behind their decision. Taking to Instagram, she shared a cryptic video, stating that people shouldn't settle for another individual who makes you "guess where you stand with them." The TikTok clip, originally posted by American date and relationship coach Natalie Bell, hints at relationships being one sided. In the clip, Natalie said: "I hope you never settle for somebody who makes you guess where you stand with them. I hope you find somebody who never makes you question your worth, or wonder if you're asking for too much, and who never makes you feel like they're half in, half out. "I hope you find somebody whose actions are match up with their words. Who makes you feel like love isn't just a guessing game or a battle? You have to continue to fight to be chosen. I hope they not only treasure you when things are going well, and it's easy to love each other. I hope they choose to charter you even when life gets hard. "I hope you get to be with somebody who makes you feel like you're their favourite thing. I hope you never have to sit awake at night overanalysing, overthinking, and ruminating over something that they said."

Serena Williams attends Scottish wedding with husband dressed in kilt
Serena Williams has been left gushing over Scotland after recently attending a traditional Scots wedding with her husband Alexis Ohanian. Serena Williams and her husband Alexis Ohanian have shared some snaps after attending a wedding in Scotland. The former tennis star, 43, and her hubby, 42, who is the co-founder of Reddit, travelled over from the States to attend a friend's wedding with the pair making their love for Scotland clear as Serena wrote online: "The Scots truly made this experience one for the books." Alex even went all out for the occasion and chose to don a traditional Scots kilt for the special day which Serena definitely seemed to approve of. Taking to Instagram to share a sweet photo of the couple posing outside of the unknown wedding venue, Serena wrote: "Dear Scotland! it was well worth seeing @AlexisOhanian in a kilt! "What a stud! Thank you so much. #ScotlandWedding #love #happilyeverafter #newlyweds #weddingguest #kilt." The tennis pro looked stunning in a black and nude lace dress, with a matching headscarf and shaggy shawl around her arms and black pointed toe black heels. In another post from earlier today, she shared a snap of herself posing outside the Capital's iconic Red Bus in her wedding attire. She wrote: "In Scotland, for a wedding and I'm still missing my time there! I was honored to be at my friend's wedding. The Scots truly made this experience one for the books. She asked her 18M Instagram followers: "Have you been to any weddings abroad? I need deets! ! #ScotlandAdventures #WeddingVibes #TravelDiaries #ExploreScotland #LoveAndFrienship #DestinationWedding #TravelGoals #NatureLovers #MemoriesMade." Delighted fans raced to comment on Serena's snaps from her Scottish trip as one wrote: "Glad you enjoyed your time in Scotland. Best country in the world. Slightly biased opinion." Another replied: "Scottish people always have a great time and are friendly." A third chimed in: "Best place for a wedding." Somebody else added: "You were queen of the Ceilidh Scottish dance floor!" Another Scottish follower penned: "Welcome to Scotland! Not been to a wedding abroad but I have been on the Red Bus.. enjoy!", alongside a smiling face emoji. Serena, who is known to be good friends with Meghan Markle, tied the knot with Alexis in November 2017 in a luxurious wedding ceremony at the Contemporary Arts Center in New Orleans. Their fairytale union was nothing short of magical with a prominent Beauty and the Beast theme, drawing inspiration from the beloved Disney film. High profile celebs such as Kim Kardashian, Beyonce and Eva Longoria all attended the lavish event. And it seems Serena's love for her hubby is just as strong as ever as she referred to him as a "stud" in his kilt. Her Instagram followers were quick to agree with her remark as one commented: "Lol. Alex is wearing that kilt. Looks amazing y'all!!!"

'I've found a linen dress that 'skims mum tum' and is 15% off'
The London-based retailer Boden has slashed the price of its latest womenswear collection by 15% - and the discount code is available to use now. And there's one piece that's been a hit with shoppers The celebrity-adored fashion label Boden has cut a 15% off their new-in womenswear just in time for summer. And there's one particular number that's been turning heads, with customers raving about the shower of compliments they've received, particularly noting how the dress 'skims the mum tum'. Ideal for summer weddings, getaways and any event you could imagine this sunny season, the Anya Sleeveless Linen Dress is being coveted by fashion fans. Boasting a chic and effortless style perfect for sweltering days, its sleeveless design and short hemline will ensure wearers stay breezy and graceful no matter the temperature. Crafted from a blend of 80% linen and 20% recycled linen, complemented by a soft cotton lining, this frock was originally priced at £126, but can be snapped up for a £107.20 with a discount code. Anyone who uses JM7D at the virtual tills will see £18.90 shaved off the price tag. However, if this Boden number isn't quite your cup of tea, or out of budget, there are loads of other linen dresses up for grabs on the high street, such as this Green Abstract Linen-Blend Palermo Mini Dress, available for £55 from Nobody's Child. Elsewhere, Next also has this Cream and Green Palm Floral Scoop Back Mini Shift Dress on offer for £38. Despite its higher price point, the Boden number has earned its stripes with praise for its 'flattering' fit-and-flare design. It even features a self-tie belt which brilliantly cinches in at the waist while elegantly draping over the midriff. One customer said: " So flattering. I got so many compliments on this the first time I wore this." Another added: "I'm 5'4", size 14, mid-40s mum-of-two and my stomach shows it, but not in this dress. Really flattering, and whilst I'd prefer a V-neck, it skims the mum-tum and fits well and is well made and fully lined,' reports the Manchester Evening News. Coming in a size range from 4 to 22, it features discreet side pockets and a gently tailored sleeveless top, the versatile piece can be dressed up or down with ease, making it perfect for everything from office meetings to summer weddings. The dress falls just above the knee, making it an excellent choice for both work and weekend wear. A glowing five-star review read: "I got the brown polka dot style and I love it. My husband also thought it looked amazing on. Would be totally appropriate for work with a cardigan and totally perfect to dress up and down for the summer. Love it!' "I am 5'3" and ordered 6R and 6P. I haven't ordered petite sizing before from Boden but glad I did on this dress. It fits perfectly and the length is just above my knees. Not too short and I think appropriate for work as well. It's very flattering," another customer shared. However, some customers have been left pining for a longer version, particularly those who prefer a bit more coverage. One wrote: "I would love to have kept this dress but just felt it was too short for me. Please make it in a long version. Style, quality of material and make up are excellent and I love the spotted chestnut colour. "A bit pricey but I would have paid it if it had fully suited me. Seemed to be suitable for all occasions, casual or formal. I'm 5ft 4 and size 14. It came to my knees which it's supposed to do but I would prefer it a little longer. Sadly had to return it." The Anya dress from Boden comes in five different colourways, with one shopper loving it so much she said: "I would buy this dress in all colours. Nice fabric and colour. Fits perfect." It comes in a poppy red and pink ornamental floral, as well as chestnut with polka dots, gallery blue, foliage scatter and for those who would prefer to forego a print, a plain rose pink. Fans of the frock can shop the Boden dress here.
