I'm a ‘woman of a certain age' with an embarrassing body secret
I'm a woman in her 60s with all the usual body confidence issues, even though I know I've got admirably supple and blemish-free skin for someone my age (some stretch marks on the love handles, aside). My divorced friend Harriet (same age) is enjoying a new lease of life, and wants to go on a booze cruise/Milfs-on-tour-type holiday to Spain this summer with all the girls (none of us under 55). She's I'm now trying to come to terms with being expected to wear a bikini at my post-menopausal age. Weight and stretch marks I can probably get over – and the hair removal has taken care of itself since I gave up HRT – but there's one big problem: a third nipple located equidistant between the bra and bikini lines that my husband's private health insurance won't stretch to having removed. Last year, these girls named my birthday WhatsApp group ' tripple nipple gizzle '(a reference to my real name) and I'm still fuming. I sweat too much in the heat for a swim garment that'll cover the offending teat, but Harriet is more fragile than she seems and I think would have an episode if I backed out. What would you do? Neurotic about nipples Dear Neurotic about nipples, The possibility that your letter may have been written in jest crossed my mind – not because I think the subject matter is funny, but because it has everything you could possibly want from a well written, well thought out letter to an agony aunt: older women on a new Shirley Valentine -style lease of life as 'Milfs' in Magaluf; a wayward friend, Harriet – with a touch of neurosis – who scrimps and saves to get you all to the beach bar, most likely wearing tassels ... and a third nipple. You really couldn't make it up. And if you did, it would make a damn good screenplay. With the best will in the world and lots of faith, I'm going to answer you straight. Because whether it is tongue-in-cheek, exaggerated or entirely genuine, there's absolutely loads we can learn from your question – and a hell of a lot that women 'of a certain age' (to paraphrase a certain disgraced TV presenter) can take away. Let's do the medical bit first: for anyone concerned or wondering, a 'third nipple' is surprisingly common. It's also known as a supernumerary nipple and usually develops in the womb – in other words, you're born with it. They can look like small skin tags or moles or they can be a little larger and even have areola around them, or even breast tissue. There's nothing you can do about them, except have surgery to remove them. But most of the time, unless it causes you serious anxiety or irritates you in other ways, I really wouldn't bother. They're usually entirely harmless, although (as you would with any other mark on your body, such as a mole) I would keep your eye on it and go to your GP if you notice any changes. Around 200,000 people in the US are thought to have a third nipple, but incidences vary according to ethnicity, sex and geography, not to mention awareness, reporting and detection. There aren't any conclusive studies or statistics telling us precisely how many people are born with the condition each year, so nobody really knows for sure how many people have them – but we do know that some people have them. And if you do have one, you're in good company – Mark Wahlberg, Tilda Swinton, Lily Allen and Bill Paxton have all reportedly got them; as did Matthew Perry's character Chandler Bing in Friends. Now, don't you feel special? You should – or, to put it another way, you shouldn't feel weird about it. I'm willing to bet that nobody would ever look at you on the beach and zone in on your third nipple, unless they were extremely close up. And those that are likely to be that close to you are people who care about you – your husband, Harriet, the other 'Milfs on tour'. I promise that none of them will bat an eyelid. They wouldn't care if you had a third head (or notice that you did, after a sangria or three). The only person, in other words, who's worrying about your body is, well, you. And while I'm not diminishing or invalidating those worries, I do think there's a lot to be said for letting that kind of crippling, microscopic self-consciousness go once we reach our forties, fifties and sixties. I bet we all spent far too much time in our teens and twenties – and probably our thirties, too – worrying about what we looked like, or panicking because we didn't feel we had the 'perfect' beach-ready body. To hell with that. Surely one of the benefits of age is that you can look back at photos of yourself when you were younger, and say: What the hell was I so worried about? I was gorgeous! You'll do exactly the same 10 years from now and beyond – I can guarantee it. As for now – and this summer – you sound fun and confident and charismatic and bold and independent and fiery. Go forth and conquer Magaluf, Ibiza or Benidorm – don't hide yourself away (and if you really can't bear/bare it, try a striking swimsuit). There's a reason there's a campaign called Free the Nipple. It's time to free yourself from fretting about yours.

Paris Fury returns to Instagram after month-long hiatus saying it's ‘been great' – and we know exactly where she's been
AFTER a month-long Instagram hiatus, Paris Fury has returned to the platform. The mum-of-seven revealed that her break had 'been great' as she posed on holiday with a £795 Lily & Bean tote bag personalised with 'MRS FURY' embroidery. 4 4 The 35-year-old penned in the caption of her picture slides: 'Not been here for a while, been in paradise.' She was in Barbados with her extended family during her social media hiatus, a destination that the Fury family have visited before. Before her Saturday evening post, Paris' last upload on Instagram was a picture with her sister Montana, 32, on April 10. Paris posed with flowers in her braided hair, while wearing the Verdi's World V Neck Bias Slip dress by Australian designer Camilla, created by resort-wear expert Camilla Franks. 'This whole outfit is beautiful,' one fan commented. 'You're like a real life Rapunzel,' another gushed, This isn't the first time Paris has rocked the £738 frock. In June last year, she left fans blubbering over 'how poor they are' after posing in the pricey dress from the brand. 'Finished with Camilla crystal embellishments, this elegant slip dress plays host to a deep V neckline that falls into a fitted midi length silhouette,' a blurb on the dress reads. 'It darts upon the bust for subtle definition and dainty rouleau straps. 'A stunning day dress in an eternal silhouette for holidays, parties and everyday elegance.' We also know that Paris has been hard at work in the gym in recent weeks with husband Tyson acting as her personal trainer, thanks to The Gypsy King's social media updates. In one video, the boxing champ declared "what a sort she's going to be" as he recorded her on the treadmill. In another video with Paris, Fury cheekily declared himself "personal trainer to all the Milfs". 4 The power couple, who met in 2006 and married in 2008, have a reported combined net worth of around £70 million. But Paris was keen to step out of her husband's heavyweight shadow when she resigned from his company, Tyson Fury Ltd, in August 2022. She established her own company - harmoniously named Paris Fury Ltd - on the same day.
