I've never been through the stress I’ve been through since I lost Paul."Exclusive: Simon Rimmer admits he was jealous watching Strictly's Karen Clifton move on"Grief hits you in so many ways you’re not expecting," she continued. "It's not all about sadness. I’ve got a friend who lost her husband four years ago. She's younger than me but she got it (cancer) as well. We both discussed it and said stress." Despite the diagnosis, Debbie has been showing her support to Giovanni, who is currently on his Dance Is Life tour with fellow Strictly pros Luba Mushtuk and Trent Whiddon. "Debbie came to dance with me in a couple of shows," revealed Giovanni,. "But for more other tours I'm not sure. Maybe one year I will just do another with my former celebrity partners - like reunion."Loading the player...The 28-year-old, who is in a relationship with Ashley Roberts after meeting on Strictly last year, has a busy few months coming up as he continues his current tour before joining "best friends" Gorka Marquez and Aljaz Skorjanec for their Here Come The Boys tour and his return to Strictly later this year. He has also teamed up with Invisalign to get treatment on his teeth - something he wanted to "perfect". Opening up about the work he's getting done, he explained: "It's just because I didn't like my teeth before. Since I am Italian and I am a perfectionist, I just like everything to be perfect and now I've got my teeth perfect." He added: "In the meantime I think it is the best thing to wear because people can't really see, and it's really comfortable." Giovanni is having Invisalign treatment with Michael Frankl at Lotus Dental in North London. For more information and to find your local provider please visit invisalign.co.uk.

Holly Willoughby dropped jelly into John Barrowman’s mouth in a stomach-turning challenge on Celebrity Juice. Willoughby kicked off the new series, her first without Fearne Cotton, by sucking a jelly pot into her mouth before leaning over Barrowman and attempting to transfer the dessert directly from her mouth into his. Take That’s Howard Donald then dropped the jelly onto the face of new Team Captain Paddy McGuinness after missing his mouth.

Some much-needed royal feud clarity over here.

Theresa May sparked a rumour frenzy in Westminster last night when she announced a speech outside Downing Street, but those who saw a smiling Philip May at the Athenaeum club on Pall Mall at 6pm were reassured that the Prime Minister was not about to resign. While The Londoner was having dinner with an MP, they received a text message from Boris Johnson asking that they pencil in a date for a meeting. Westminster’s tailspin had been triggered mid-afternoon by texts from Downing Street telling journalists to “cancel your dinner”.

Sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs before kissing a prince, or so the fairy tales tell us. For the Spice Girls, they went straight to the prince - Prince Charles to be precise. And they were no strangers to bending the rules and spicing things up, even when it came to the royal family. Makeup artist to the famous five Karin Darnell told POPSUGAR that Geri Halliwell's look was "all about a red lip," and it once got her in a teeny bit of trouble. In 1997, after attending a Royal Gala evening at the royal opera house in London, the four girls dared Geri - Darnell called it a "king dare" - to kiss Prince Charles on the cheek. She recalled that this is strictly against royal protocol. While people are allowed to shake the hands of royals, kissing is most definitely not considered acceptable behavior . . . but do you think that stopped Ginger Spice? Darnell said Halliwell was probably wearing a MAC red lipstick (we're putting our bets on Russian Red) with some heavy lip gloss, but this didn't stop her from going through with the dare, leaving a very noticeable red kiss stain on Prince Charles's cheek. Although we bet the palace had a word with their management after the dare, it didn't stop Halliwell from being invited back to royal events. In fact, her and the Prince go way back. Ahead, get a closer look at the cheeky moment, and some of the pair's sweetest encounters since. Related: The Spice Girls Hanging Out With the Royals Is the Most British Thing You'll Ever See
