I know two BBC stars terrified they'll be investigated for bad behaviour – where will the Beeb's ‘penis problem' end?
THE BBC has a penis problem. When Gregg Wallace isn't whipping his out with a sock delicately placed around it, one of its top female presenters is glibly parading a photo of one. 7 7 Last year we had One Show star Jermaine Jenas sending a d**k pic to a young woman, and now we learn that the male dancers of Strictly Come Dancing love a little bit of bed-hopping and wife-swapping. Giovanni Pernice, meanwhile, stood accused of outlining his erection to poor dance partner Amanda Abbington during rehearsals. (He has always denied the allegations.) Then in December, Aunty, who one might presume is without penis, included a transgender Colombian scientist in its list of Top 100 Inspirational Women. EastEnders actor Jamie Borthwick has been allowed back on set after using a vile disability term. Wynne Evans was axed for saying 'spit roast'. Much more seriously, in the last few days Jay Blades was charged with rape. Bullying allegations, inappropriate 'jokes', and lewd behaviour are rife. Thankfully Gary Lineker, another big- name presenter the BBC is now shot of, always kept it in his trousers — only appearing once on air in his little white boxer shorts. And over the weekend, Gregg — him again — was forced to take to Instagram to clarify that, and I quote: 'There is no finding in the investigation that I took my trousers down.' Imagine having to take to Instagram to tell people that you didn't take your trousers down. But this is where we have got to now. Month by month, the BBC are cancelling presenters with appendages. Who will be left by the end of the year? Is the problem, then, all of mankind? Or have we got to the stage where no male talent dare risk a gag lest they lose their livelihood? Obviously, some of the allegations that I have outlined above are more serious than others. And, to be clear, I am not making light of those who have bravely come forward to raise their concerns. They absolutely must be encouraged. There should be no space on television, especially a publicly funded broadcaster, for the bad guys. Any celebrity or presenter with some sort of God complex, someone who thinks they are the star and can treat everyone around them as minions, plankton-like nobodies, their day is done. In 2025, though, anyone can be a screen star. TikTok and Instagram, for all their faults, can make stars of anyone and everyone with a flattering halo light, a camera phone and a whiff of innate narcissism. The BBC will surely be looking for new talent, ready to poach up-and-coming TikTok 'stars', and giving them their big, mainstream break. At least two male household names I know are terrified that their past misdemeanours — an affair in the case of one of them, inappropriate language in the case of the other (which would be considered 'bants' in most offices up and down the country) — will come back to haunt them. BBC talent is living in terror that it's just a matter of time before an investigation is launched into them, too. This has been described as a 'culture of fear'. The BBC has a problem — but it needs to draw the line somewhere, and with dignity. Otherwise, where will it all end? OWN UP ON FAT JABS 7 7 AMERICAN singer Lizzo made the cover of this month's Women's Health magazine. Ya know, a publication promoting wellbeing and fitness, and the hard work that goes with it. Not once was there a mention of Lizzo's true secret to her dramatic weight loss. A fat jab. Lizzo, whom I adore as an artist, is absolutely entitled to use whatever she wants to help in her battle to get fit – and I'm sure she exercised too. But I believe celebs also have a responsibility to their fans to be honest about how they got there. ON the subject of cretins, a restaurant posted footage of 'dine and dash' customers scarpering without paying a £200 bill. It was at the Saffron Indian restaurant in Northamptonshire (at a time small businesses are struggling, as it is, to survive under Sir Keir). Owners posted a photo of the bill – which showed the diners ordered chips with their vindaloos. Proof, if needed, that these people really are barbarians. Give a dog a Boeing 7 LOVED seeing the photo of the Great Dane sprawled across three laps on a plane. The cheery black and white mutt had his own seat on the Viva Aerobus domestic flight from Mexico City to Puerto Vallarta – and he was, by all accounts, impeccably behaved. As one passenger wryly remarked: 'He was better behaved than the kids on board.' For those moaning dogs shouldn't be allowed on board, I once sat on a very small plane next to a 40st bloke. Airline staff had to get him a giant extender seat belt, while I was forced to perch on half of my seat to accommodate his overspill. You can but imagine my fury. Halfway through the flight, as he started loudly snoring beside me, a kindly member of the cabin crew approached to see if I wanted to sit on the jump seat because the plane was full. I did. PRAISE TRAIN HEROES OVER the weekend, footage went viral of a threatening, swearing, deeply disturbed man dropping his trousers and standing naked from the waist-down on a busy Tube train. The carriage had women and children in it. I can only imagine how afraid they were. A brave passenger confronted the bloke and told him he must get off the train. The man, fully exposed, told him to 'f*** off'. At which point a few other hero blokes got involved, physically restraining the man, as a fight broke out. One appeared to kick him which, granted, was excessive. The naked man has now been detained under the Mental Health Act and, sure enough, British Transport Police have suggested those vigilantes – trying to protect their fellow passengers – face arrest. Of course I hope he is OK – but I just don't think there should be ANY excusing his actions. This is two-tiered Broken Britain on full display. Mental health is no excuse for this cretin's behaviour. The men who tried to take action should be praised, not prosecuted. End of. LAST week I moaned about the ongoing scandal of NHS car parks charging patients for the privilege of parking. Several of you wrote in sharing your own experiences. And lots pointed out the other major scam currently going unchecked: That of hospitals charging exorbitant prices – motorway services levels – for in-house restaurants. As one reader pointed out: 'They know they have, quite literally, a captive audience.'

The Hot Octopuss Pulse Duo Is a Helpful Sex Toy for Pain-Free Intimacy
I've heard a decent amount about sex toy brand Hot Octopuss from my male friends, but it wasn't until the Pulse Duo arrived on my doorstep that I had my first experience with its products. I was excited to give it a try because I love penis toys that both partners can enjoy. The Pulse Duo isn't a cock ring—at least not in the traditional sense—it does help produce longer and stronger erections. More of a sleeve than a ring, the person with the penis wears the Pulse Duo while dry humping or gyrating up against a partner with the vulva. In other words, this isn't a device to be worn during penetration, nor would the size and shape allow for such a possibility. Instead, it's to be used in a way that gives both partners another avenue of sexual pleasure to explore: frottage. The inside of the Pulse Duo doesn't just contain vibrations (there are seven patterns to choose from) and texture, but there's also an oscillating plate that stimulates the frenulum of the penis. On the outside of the Pulse Duo, there's a grinding hump that exudes strong vibrations. It's here that the person with the vulva rubs their body, or more specifically their clitoris, against the Pulse Duo. In doing this, it not only arouses the person with the vulva, increasing natural lubrication in some cases, but also brings them closer to an orgasm—if that's their sexual goal. An Important Tool Courtesy of Hot Octopuss I found the Pulse Duo to be hard, uncomfortable, and not a device I'll likely use again. But while that's my personal experience, Pulse Duo is an essential sexual aid device. As someone who has many friends with vulvas who struggle to enjoy penetrative sex because of pain, the Pulse Duo offers a level of intimacy without penetration that other products don't. As much as it's not talked about or, even worse, sometimes dismissed when brought up, painful intercourse for those with vulvas isn't uncommon. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, as many as 75 percent of people with vulvas will have painful intercourse at some point in their lives. For some, this may be something that pops up from time to time, while others may have medical conditions that prevent them from having pain-free intercourse. It's for these people that a device like the Pulse Duo comes into play. It offers the illusion of penetrative sex, as well as the eye contact and the intimacy, while giving both partners what they need: a stimulated clitoris and a stimulated penis. Water-based lube, both on the vulva and on the Pulse Duo, intensifies this feeling for both partners. I should also point out that the remote control for Pulse Duo is excellent. It's not just easy to use but also extremely tactical, so even if you're not looking directly at it, your fingers can scope out what each of the four buttons is for.

Man with the world's largest penis reveals agonising details of the night he lost his virginity...'it did not end well'
The man with the biggest penis in Britain has revealed the disastrous details of the night he lost his virginity. Matt Barr, whose manhood measures a mammoth 14in, has previously spoken about the downsides of having such gigantic genitalia. 'It's difficult, because it's not something you really spring on people as a surprise, because it just does scare people away,' he explained. Mr Barr's member—boasting a girth of 8.5in—and is claimed to be the 'world's biggest medically verified penis'. But size doesn't always make for success in the bedroom with Mr Barr opening up about how things went terribly wrong when he did the deed for the first time. Speaking to Californian medic Dr Rena Malik, Mr Barr revealed that losing his virginity led him to be rushed to hospital. While not divulging the details of the traumatic event he told the medic that 'it was not good, I went to hospital, so not ideal,' after having penetrative sex for the first time. He added that losing his virginity was a 'long time coming' with his massive manhood having previously prevented him from having intercourse. He detailed how he and a former lover 'tried, and realised it was kind of impractical', he recalled—but added that the pair decided to still spread the rumour that they had done the deed as 'a status thing'. 'That was supposedly my first time, but it wasn't really because it wasn't physically possible,' he confessed. 'It wasn't until a lot later that I ended up actually having what I consider to be penetrative sex.' Dr Malik explained that the difficulties Mr Barr experienced likely arose due to the size of the average vagina being much too small to fit Mr Barr's massive member. She said the average vaginal diameter is around 3.5in, and while this can sometimes double in size when a woman is aroused, the dimensions would still be too small for Mr Barr's member. Mr Barr continued to say that he 'didn't really know what [he] was doing, like a lot of men' the first time he had sex, adding that he's since worked 'to ensure that doesn't happen again'. 'I do always try to bring it up when I can, not in a creepy way, it's the question of how do you have that conversation early enough in a relationship when you've already got a bit of a bond and it's kind of clear you can talk about sex and it's not creepy to do,' he said. 'I think that's key where you can, just because for both sakes it's very useful to have that as a barometer of what to expect rather than spring it on them very last minute.' Mr Barr has previously spoken about other difficulties of having such a large member. These include once being thrown out of a yoga class because they thought he had become aroused. He said: 'I was wearing a very baggy shirt and shorts [but because of the] yoga positions, people just got the wrong idea. 'And that's the way it sometimes goes, but you can you can dress normally, baggy clothing, and it's not too difficult.' Mr Barr has also previously told MailOnline that a cultural over-emphasis on size meant many men felt unnecessarily insecure in the bedroom. 'Feeling insecure around your equipment is unsurprising when penis size myths are spread so readily by porn or locker-room jokes that assume "bigger is better",' he said. 'Any insecurities you are feeling about your sexual performance is not alleviated by growing a few inches - and once you get so far beyond the norm it brings with it a whole host of new problems. 'Even if you have the biggest penis in the world, you still have to focus on improving your sexual performance to give your partners the pleasure they deserve.' The NHS says the average size of an adult penis is 3 to 4in when flaccid, and between 6 to 7in when erect
