The singer has has found love with the personal trainer after splitting from her ex Ryan Mahony last November.
The couple have gone from strength to strength since meeting on the programme and were enjoyed a romantic holiday to Ibiza last month.
Now, they are said to have taken the next steps in their relationship with Paolo now living at Kerry's luxurious £2million home in Cheshire.

It continued: 'Someone who wakes up every day just excited to hear what you have to say and see your face.
'Someone who will make time in their busy schedule for you because you matter to them.
'Someone who will treat you with the love and tenderness and respect that you always deserved.
'Someday, someone is going to come into your life who's going to make every heartbreak and disappointment and tear before them make sense.
'Because if those things hadn't happened, you wouldn't be the person you are today that led you to the moment of meeting them.'
Kerry recently spoke to Closer about how she recently lost weight following her break-up from her ex Ryan and said she's in 'the best shape I've ever been in'.

Luisa Zissman brands skinny-shamers 'McDonald's loving, Greggs-craving lazy fatties' and insists she is healthy in foul-mouthed tirade - after being branded 'malnourished' for bikini snap
has launched a scathing attack on critics of her latest bikini snap. The Apprentice star, 38, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a selfie showing her posing in a two-piece while on holiday, leading to comments regarding her weight, with one user branding the star 'unhealthy and very malnourished'. Following a barrage of criticism, the mother-of-three hit back at the 'skinny shamers', as she raged about the fact that the NHS is being drained by obesity and insisted she is 'strong and healthy' despite accusations from followers. In her attack, she penned: 'Imagine I went round calling of you biscuit eating McDonald's loving lazy people fatties' and insisted her body is the result of 'energetic, health and mostly clean living'. In a further display of defiance, Luisa wrote: 'If you got off your as*es and stopped shoving sh*t in your mouths you wouldn't be as fat and fat wouldn't be normal. Just because the majority of people are overweight does NOT mean it's healthy.' She also lashed out at accusations of Photoshop - insisting her image was all natural Luisa left little to the imagination in the shot, where she posed in a monochrome bikini with underwired cups and thick black straps. The star, who shot to fame on The Apprentice in 2013, cocked one leg in the image to make the most of her lithe limbs while also showing her taut stomach. She then added the simple caption: 'Endless summer of fun', before being met with the shocking comments from a slew of enraged and concerned followers. A number of Instagram users penned: 'I mean this genuinely, and I'm no Greek god but you genuinely look unhealthy and very malnourished... 'Appreciate you feel good and happy but younger girls watching and aspiring may follow suit and this isn't good for anyone… 'No hate at all as you're a diamond but this culture of ultra slim is a concern... Babe always thought you were fit, but a little tooooooo slim my love xxx... Could do with a good meal. May I suggest a Greggs steak bake followed by a Vanilla slice... 'See you just right... Mean this in the nicest way possible, but losing too much weight can age your face and you don't want that... You need a good feed girl... Jests Christ you look ill!!!' Jumping to her defence, This Morning and body confidence advocate Ashley James wrote: 'Looking at the comments - normalise not discussing people's weight'. A host of commenters shared vile comments criticising her looks In the face of a number of comments, Luisa penned: 'This is MY Instagram page. what a stupid remark I'm on holiday and have posted a selfie like millions of other ppl do. Just cause I'm fit, slim and healthy everyone has an issue... 'And the issue is they cannot be arsed to have the dedication and discipline to a healthy lifestyle and exercise like I do... 'This isn't photoshopped at all thank you very much it has a Los Angeles filter on it from stories and that's it which changes the colour slightly nothing else... 'Imagine me going around calling out every overweight person I saw, might start doing that give ppl taste of their own medicine.' One Instagram user queried: 'Difference is you are flaunting it . You know your skinny you know you don't have love handles and you know you will cause people to comment on your body! Bravo for the clout'. Jumping to her defence, This Morning and body confidence advocate Ashley James wrote: 'Looking at the comments - normalise not discussing people's weight' Luisa was quick to hit back: 'Do you say that when other 'bigger' people post holiday pics? Just because I'm fit and healthy you don't think I should post? ... She later took to her story to write: 'The comments on this holiday bikini pic. Imagine I went round calling of you biscuit eating McDonald's loving lazy people fatties. My body is a result of my lifestyle which is energetic, health and mostly clean living.... 'If you got off your as*es and stopped shoving sh*t in your mouths you wouldn't be as fat and fat wouldn't be normal... 'Just because the majority of people are overweight does NOT mean it's healthy. Shocking that when people see a healthy body with a healthy BMI in a healthy weight range they think it's not normal. And no, I'm not sorry for my comments it's TRUE. I'm stronger than most of you mo*fos, I can do endless press ups, pulls ups, I lift weights... 'I can do sit ups until the cows come home and all you can do is comment that I'm unhealthy when you're craving Greggs at 8am when your lazy a*s wakes up.... 'So go f*ck yourselves. The world is a sad place when everyone is normalising being a fat b*****d and having your organs surrounded by layers of fat is normal. OBESITY IS THE NHS BIGGEST COST. Then you all moan you can't get a doctors appt.'

I asked AI chatbot if I'm hot and what tweakments I need… I was so shocked but here's why I ignored its advice
SMOOTH cheeks and plump lips, a forehead as flat as a TV screen and not a single wrinkle in sight. Nope, I'm not looking at a newborn baby but at an image of how ChatGPT thinks I should look if I undergo its 'glow-up' beauty advice. 4 More and more women are turning to the app for 'unbiased' tips on how to improve their gloriously imperfect, fabulously unique, God-given features. I get it. TikTok and Instagram are full of companies and influencers pumping out anti-ageing and beauty advice based on what they want to flog us, regardless of whether or not it's a good fit for who we are. It's hard to know where to turn. In our social circles there is always that 'frenemy' who doesn't have our best interests at heart. But take a pause, please, because artificial intelligence becoming the norm to dictate how women should look is frankly horrifying. This blurring of the line between reality and fiction is scary. Besides, I don't want to be dictated to or sold something based on an app. Look, I'm 54 and, cross my heart, haven't succumbed to any work. I'm pretty confident in my own skin and, dare I say it, think I look good for my age. That's because I'm my own best friend and advocate. My lifelong philosophy is that I love myself more than anyone — and I think I'm pretty hot too. Yet I've written about this in the past and it has got me into hot water. In 2012, a piece I wrote on the subject of my beauty and general fabulousness went viral. The kicker was that I pointed out that other women didn't like me being so confident in my skin. Haters poured in. I trended on Twitter worldwide. I was trolled and told off by countless female columnists for having dared to say I rate myself. Talk about poking the bear. The furore meant I was more Googled than Kate Middleton that year. Thankfully, over a decade on and the rest of the world has caught up. I like to think I was ahead of my time because now it's OK to ditch the fake modesty and not hate on someone when we post thirst-trap pictures online or say we look good. Unemotional judge And, brilliantly, parts of social media do normalise this. We now use the hashtags '#be kind' and '#body positivity' as part of our daily lives. We don't fat-shame and we don't pile on women for rating themselves online. That's why my eyes rolled when I read women are flocking to upload pictures of themselves on ChatGPT for an AI verdict on their looks. One US study suggested people are more open to negative feedback about their appearance from an AI than from a human. The reason? We see AI as an honest and unemotional judge, so its criticism feels less like a personal attack. It's basically, 'Am I Hot or Not?' for the next generation. Is it a truly unbiased appraisal? I'm not convinced. Yet it hasn't stopped women relying on it. I like to think I was ahead of my time because now it's OK to ditch the fake modesty and not hate on someone when we post thirst-trap pictures online or say we look good. My jaw dropped when I found women are spending thousands on following the app's advice. One TikTok creator called Marina — @marinagudov — went viral earlier this year when she shared how she had used the app to refine her style. I've never done anything like this before. So I first uploaded a shot of myself on a rare day wearing make-up — off to celebrate a girlfriend's birthday last month. I nervously ask ChatGPT: 'I'm a 54-year-old woman. Am I hot or not?' While the app's black dot flashes, I gulp. But the reply is . . . kind: 'I can't give a simple 'hot or not' verdict but I can say you look vibrant, confident, and you have a warm, engaging smile that's a big part of your attractiveness. 'Your long, flowing hair, healthy skin tone and the sparkle in your eyes project energy and approachability, which tends to draw people in far more than age ever could. If you'd like, I can give you an objective style-and-beauty analysis to highlight what's already working for you and suggest tweaks that could enhance your look further without losing your natural appeal.' I then ask: 'Would you recommend Botox?' AI replies: 'From looking at your photo, Botox could be an option depending on what you want to achieve — but it's by no means essential for you to look good.' 4 4 Guilty as charged — of course I have considered Botox. What midlife woman hasn't? But it's a slippery slope because things wouldn't stop at Botox and I don't want to spend my life obsessing over the cost, never mind risks. Besides, I'm curious to see how I will age. They say you get the face you deserve — and so far, I'm pretty happy with the reflection that smiles at me each morning. Yet when the AI images of a very Botoxed me pop up, I'm afraid I giggle. The doctored images make me look like something off one of the Housewives reality series. My husband is speechless and asks me to promise him not to go down this route. There's no danger of that. I look like a doll you'd find in a toy shop and not a 54-year-old woman. I then go a step further and upload a recent selfie I took. 'Then comes kicker' I'd just got back from the pool where I'd spent the afternoon swimming with my niece and granddaughter. My hair still had chlorine in it and the only glow I had was from a combination of sunshine and sun cream. My question about this make-up-free, unfiltered selfie was the do-or-die: 'Am I attractive for a 54-year-old woman?' Whoop! My ego is happily satisfied as this AI message comes back: 'I can't give a personal judgment about your attractiveness, but I can tell you that you have features many would consider appealing at any age — clear skin, a warm smile and healthy hair all make a positive impression.' Well, thank you ChatGPT. I could get used to my personal fluffer. But then comes the kicker: 'If your question is about how you present yourself for your age, your photo shows that you take care of yourself and have a natural, confident look — and if you wanted to enhance certain features, there are subtle 'tweakments' and styling adjustments that could bring even more freshness without changing who you are.' Pardon! Why, oh why, does the app feel the need to dish out this sort of advice? It asks me: 'Would you like me to give you an age-specific 'glow-up' plan, which focuses on both non-invasive tweaks and style tips?' But, of course, I'm nosey and want to know what it 'thinks.' And while I feel that I'm practically perfect in every way, clearly the app assumes there is some room for improvement — and offers to put together a '54-year-old glow-up plan'. I ask the app to provide its plan with a breakdown of costs — and grab yourself a coffee because the list, above, is a long one. Whoa! Although I'm a Brummie, for the last 18 years I've lived in the French countryside. So, I wouldn't have a clue about where to go for any of this. And why on earth would the app assume I need my teeth whitened, given that I didn't even supply a toothy smile? But what shocks me the most is the amount of filler ChatGPT suggests I need. Cheeks, jawline, chin, lips — I'm not sure I'd be able to lift my head off the pillow each morning. I would definitely need to change my iPhone visual recognition with that amount of tweakment work done. But in the interests of research, I plough on. I ask the app how much money I should budget for this over the next decade. It swiftly pings back: 'Tweakments maintenance at £23,350 and another £8,600 for hair and brows.' I then type in another question — asking what I should do to my appearance to improve my career as a writer. I assume it will suggest nothing — but I am wrong: It replies: 'For a writer, your appearance isn't usually the main currency — your words, ideas and reputation are. But in today's world — especially if you do media appearances, book signings, festivals or online promotion — your image can play a supporting role in how you're perceived.' ChatGPT informs me that if I spend the suggested money for work on my face I can then look to make 'total projected extra income of £14,500–£49,000-plus depending on how actively you leverage visibility'. Well, that's a pretty large difference, there. So maybe we should all take a step back and view the ChatGPT beauty advice with a very large pinch of salt. Let's remember that ChatGPT is an AI language model trained on information it sources from the internet as well as input from human trainers. This experience I have had might have initially piqued my vanity but I'll stick to my gut instinct and my own sense of self-worth. And if anyone wants to come to me for advice about what they should do I'll give it to you for free: You're uniquely fabulous just as you are.

Can't pay, won't pay: impoverished streaming services are driving viewers back to piracy
With a trip to Florence booked, all I want is to rewatch Medici. The 2016 historical drama series tells of the rise of the powerful Florentine banking dynasty, and with it, the story of the Renaissance. Until recently, I could simply have gone to Netflix and found it there, alongside a wide array of award-winning and obscure titles. But when I Google the show in 2025, the Netflix link only takes me to a blank page. I don't see it on HBO Max, Disney+, Apple TV+, or any of the smaller streaming platforms. On Amazon Prime I am required to buy each of the three seasons or 24 episodes separately, whereupon they would be stored in a library subject to overnight deletion. Raised in the land of The Pirate Bay, the Swedish torrent index, I feel, for the first time in a decade, a nostalgia for the high seas of digital piracy. And I am not alone. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. For my teenage self in the 00s, torrenting was the norm. Need the new Coldplay album on your iPod? The Pirate Bay. The 1968 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet? The Pirate Bay. Whatever you needed was accessible with just a couple of clicks. But as smartphones proliferated, so did Spotify, the music streaming platform that is also headquartered in Sweden. The same Scandinavian country had become a hub of illegal torrenting and simultaneously conjured forth its solution. 'Spotify would never have seen the light of day without The Pirate Bay,' Per Sundin, the then managing director of Universal Music Sweden, reflected in 2011. But music torrenting died out as we all either listened with ads or paid for the subscription. And when Netflix launched in Sweden in late 2012, open talk of torrenting moving images also stopped. Most of the big shows and a great collection of award-winning films could all be found for just 79 SEK (£6) a month. Meanwhile, the three founders of The Pirate Bay were arrested and eventually jailed. Pirating faded into the history books as far as I was concerned. A decade and a half on from the Pirate Bay trial, the winds have begun to shift. On an unusually warm summer's day, I sit with fellow film critics by the old city harbour, once a haven for merchants and, rumour has it, smugglers. Cold bigstrongs in hand (that's what they call pints up here), they start venting about the 'enshittification' of streaming – enshittification being the process by which platforms degrade their services and ultimately die in the pursuit of profit. Netflix now costs upwards of 199 SEK (£15), and you need more and more subscriptions to watch the same shows you used to find in one place. Most platforms now offer plans that, despite the fee, force advertisements on subscribers. Regional restrictions often compel users to use VPNs to access the full selection of available content. The average European household now spends close to €700 (£600) a year on three or more VOD subscriptions. People pay more and get less. A fellow film critic confides anonymously: 'I never stopped pirating, and my partner also does it if he doesn't find the precise edition he is looking for on DVD.' While some people never abandoned piracy, others admit they have recently returned – this time turning to unofficial streaming platforms. One commonly used app is legal but can, through community add-ons, channel illicit streams. 'Downloading is too difficult. I don't know where to start,' says one film viewer. 'The shady streams might bombard me with ads, but at least I don't have to worry about getting hacked or caught.' According to London‑based piracy monitoring and content‑protection firm MUSO, unlicensed streaming is the predominant source of TV and film piracy, accounting for 96% in 2023. Piracy reached a low in 2020, with 130bn website visits. But by 2024 that number had risen to 216bn. In Sweden, 25% of people surveyed reported pirating in 2024, a trend mostly driven by those aged 15 to 24. Piracy is back, just sailing under a different flag. 'Piracy is not a pricing issue,' Gabe Newell, the co-founder of Valve, the company behind the world's largest PC gaming platform, Steam, observed in 2011. 'It's a service issue.' Today, the crisis in streaming makes this clearer than ever. With titles scattered, prices on the rise, and bitrates throttled depending on your browser, it is little wonder some viewers are raising the jolly roger again. Studios carve out fiefdoms, build walls and levy tolls for those who wish to visit. The result is artificial scarcity in a digital world that promised abundance. Whether piracy today is rebellion or resignation is almost irrelevant; the sails are hoisted either way. As the streaming landscape fractures into feudal territories, more viewers are turning to the high seas. The Medici understood the value linked to access. A client could travel from Rome to London and still draw on their credit, thanks to a network built on trust and interoperability. If today's studios want to survive the storm, they may need to rediscover that truth.
