Former Tory minister David Mellor leaves viewers stunned as he shows off dramatic new bob on Good Morning Britain
Former Tory minister David Mellor stunned audiences as he showcased a dramatic new haircut on Good Morning Britain. The noted ladies' man, who resigned from the cabinet in 1992 after an affair with actress Antonia de Sancha, showcased his long luscious locks during a debate with GMB host Susanna Reid. David, 76, styled his naturally grey mop down to his shoulders which he paired with a navy blue suit and open-necked white shirt. The top Conservative's new look caused fans of the politician to flock to social media with praise for the stylish bob. Twitter user Gabrielle Stubbs said: 'He does have a cute bob, it kinda suits him!' Another said: 'Wow great hair.'

The noted ladies' man, who resigned from the cabinet in 1992 after an affair with actress Antonia de Sancha, showcased his long luscious locks during a debate on GMB Some even thought the famed Chelsea football fan resembled another former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe. While others asked if he takes style tips from his Tory colleague and Celebrity Big Brother star Michael Fabricant, who is also noted for his famous bouffant. David used his appearance on the popular breakfast show to argue in favour of the two-child benefit cap. He said: 'I come to this with regret as I had my fourth grandchild last week, but the money isn't there.' Host Ed Balls asked the former Conservative MP: 'David when you were in the cabinet you had family credit, which was there to help poor families into work and if they had three or four children they got extra money for the third or fourth child. So were you wrong at the time?' David fired back: 'Probably yes. The thing is it is really not possible to put provision of assistance for children of families above all the various pressures that there is.' 'I think the problem is we don't have the ability to fund his kind of expenditure at this time.' Balls then invoked another famously-coiffed politician, asking: 'So if Boris Johnson has lots of kids cause he's reach that's fine?' David responded with a vicious barb against the former prime minister's children: 'I personally think it would have been no bad thing if he hadn't had any children. So don't worry I'm not in any hurry to have a new generation of Johnsons.' He also debated with Clare Muldoon, a writer and mother-of-four, who argued in favour of scrapping the two-child benefit cap. David was the Member of Parliament for Putney from 1979 to 1997, and served in a number of government positions including Chief Secretary to the Treasury and Secretary of State for National Heritage. Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.

Virgin Island star reveals if he's had sex since the show and what happened after cameras stopped rolling
FOR Virgin Island star Ben Harris, a two-week stint in Croatia to learn about sex with intimacy experts has been life-changing - but not for the reason you might expect. The 31-year-old took part in the popular Channel 4 show last year having struggled to go "all the way" with previous partners. 2 2 He bravely opened up about his sex life - or lack, thereof - on camera in a bid to 'embrace his sexual energy' and help him lose his virginity. But within a week of arriving back in the UK, parliamentary researcher Ben faced another challenge when then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a general election. Despite hitting the ground running campaigning for Michael Fabricant MP, Ben became unemployed when the Conservative lost his seat on July 4. It meant that not only did Ben lose his job, but he also lost his newly acquired sex drive as he was forced to put his career first. Speaking to The Sun about his experience, Ben reveals he is still a virgin - but now has the tools he needed to have sex for the first time. "It wasn't like I was going there to lose my virginity," says Ben, who has a newfound confidence since filming Virgin Island. "But it's changed how I feel about being a virgin. I'm not proud so to speak, but I'm no longer ashamed of it in the same way I was. "Now I feel I have the tools that I didn't have before and the confidence and the mindset to do it now when I meet the right person." Ben took a couple of weeks off from his job in the House of Commons after telling boss Michael about Virgin Island last May. Michael followed in Ben's footsteps by going into television when he starred in this year's Celebrity Big Brother. Although he has not lost his virgin status, Ben has been speed-dating with his TV co-star Viraj and has been on several dates with three women over the past year. Ben added: "I really enjoyed working with the Virgin Island therapists. They made me look at myself in a different mindset. "I'm actually not ugly. I mean, I'm not a 10 out of 10, but I'm also not a two out of 10 like what I thought I was. "And while I have faced more rejection since, I am now able to process these setbacks in a much healthier and more positive way." Stream Virgin Island on Channel 4 now.
