Just weeks ago, Maeva was left in tears over their marriage. The couple joined Tristan Phipps and his girlfriend Julia Pollard for a double date, but Maeve broke down in tears as they discussed their relationship, saying they were 's**t at the moment.' James later admitted to Tristan that they were in the "lowest place they'd ever been". He confessed that Maeva was close to walking out on him and leaving the family home. In a bid get their relationship back on track, the pair headed off on a romantic trip together to reconnect. On a recent episode, James told his pals that he and Maeva were back on track - saying Maeva was was "back in love with him". The couple welcomed their first child in November 2022. Shortly after giving birth, she posted a sweet photo of the newborn and wrote: "Welcoming the last 9 months and 11 days into our lives this morning was everything and more than we could have ever hoped for. "I'm so happy I've now met you my little roast. James is going to be the best daddy ever. "Being induced on Sunday and trying to achieve a virginal birth from the outset wasn't meant to be.

Specialist reveals one thing you use daily that is dirtier than a toilet and harbors loads of bacteria
When most of us think about dirt and bacteria, we might picture a grimy public restroom or a filthy subway seat. But what if we told you there's a place in your car that's even dirtier than a public toilet? Yes, you read that right! It doesn't matter if your car is sparkling clean or a total mess—there's one spot that's practically a breeding ground for germs, and you're touching it every time you drive. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to motoring specialists Plates Express, the steering wheel is the dirtiest part of your car. It's something most of us never even think about. Sure, we might toss out empty coffee cups and vacuum the floor mats, but we rarely consider giving that wheel a good scrub. It's a surprising oversight, given how much contact it gets on a daily basis. 'You wouldn't go weeks without washing your hands, but drivers go months without wiping down the one surface they touch every single day,' James Taylor, a luxury car cleaner, told the Daily Mail. It's a simple but jarring point. Every time you hop into the driver's seat, your hands—fresh from touching door handles, food wrappers, or your phone—are instantly transferring bacteria to the steering wheel. What's even more concerning is that even the fanciest cars aren't immune to this issue. Taylor shared that he's cleaned luxury Bentleys that looked spotless, but when he tested the wheel with a swab, the bacteria levels were through the roof. 'People touch their face, their phone, their food — then grab the wheel,' he explained. And it's not just the hands that contribute to this dirty secret. Sneezing or coughing behind the wheel can also leave behind a host of germs, adding to the wheel's hidden collection of bacteria. A simple fix for a major problem The good news? It's a surprisingly easy problem to fix. Taylor recommends a simple wipe-down with an antibacterial wipe or a car interior cleaner at least once a week. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It doesn't take long, but it can dramatically cut down on the number of germs you're exposed to every time you drive. Yet many drivers still neglect this simple step. A survey by found that 32% of drivers clean their car only once a year, and an alarming 12% never bother to clean it at all. This isn't just a matter of aesthetics—it's a real hygiene issue. It's also a matter of basic self-care. After all, we're quick to wash our hands after using the bathroom, but we often forget about the surfaces we touch every single day. More than just a dirty wheel And while drivers are worrying about keeping their steering wheels clean, there are plenty of other distractions that could use some attention, too. A recent Lemonade survey found that more than half of Gen Z drivers admit to eating behind the wheel, and about a third drive while tired. These habits add even more reasons to ensure the wheel is kept clean—imagine all those crumbs and coughs and phone taps mixing together right where you place your hands! If nothing else, maybe this information will inspire you to grab a wipe and give that steering wheel a quick once-over. It's one small change that could make a big difference in your daily health.
