Everything is sorted and she is much better now." In a recent interview with The Sun, Debbie confessed that her grief for late husband Paul Daniels may have triggered the cancer- and that going through treatment without him had been extremely hard.

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.

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”.

"I found out they were racing motorbikes in Jerez and nobody would pick up the phone. And then they were a bit apologetic."Wolff added that Hamilton's extra-curricular activities are often "worrying", but understands that the 34-year-old world champion needs to do "what works for him".【ギャラリー】Lewis Hamilton36"Every time he's able to decompress from motor racing, he comes back stronger," he said.

Others do skydiving."Hamilton told France's Auto Hebdo that his next ambition is to test a MotoGP bike."I'm going to ride one, that's for sure," he enthused during an interview at the Melbourne grand prix. "I just need to ride more. It's a dream I want to realise."I watch all the races. Even when I'm on a grand prix weekend, I quickly leave my briefings to find a screen," added Hamilton.

Good Morning Britain faced backlash from its viewers on 21 March after it included a live debate about whether children should be taught about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues in schools.In response to the news that LGBTQ education classes have been suspended at a number of Birmingham institutions following parent protestation, presenters Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway discussed the subject with Christian mother Izzy Montague and gay father Tom Cox.Cox insisted that "homophobia is taught" and that an individual is never born feeling such prejudice. "What you are born with is your sexual preference; you are gay or you're not," he continued."I don't dispute that it is a parent's right to what [their child] goes to school for and how you raise them. But I think you're doing your child a disservice by not allowing them to see that families come in all different shapes and sizes."Montague interjected: "I don't agree with that. I believe it's a choice. I made a choice [regarding] what I believe is right or wrong, I don't remember ever thinking to myself "am I gay or am I straight?"It's something I have done based on my belief. So even if I was gay, I do believe based on my belief that I feel that a heterosexual relationship is a right course of action for me." 'It's not about living in a vacuum, it's about [parents giving kids their own] opinions of the world around us.' Mum Izzy Montague says it should be up to parents to teach children about subjects like LGBT rights, not schools. pic.twitter.com/T4VBVTVCt7 \- Good Morning Britain (@GMB) March 21, 2019Addressing Cox directly, she added: "No one has forced you to be in a gay relationship. This is a decision that you have made.'"Her comments upset viewers, with many taking to social media to share their confusion as to why such a matter should even be argued over in 2019. One Twitter user stated that they "complained to Ofcom" about GMB "letting that controversial debate happen." Those saying this woman isn't homophobic: she said gay relationships aren't right, she called being gay a lifestyle, she said LGBT people made a choice. Her rhetoric was clearly homophobic. Stop making excuses and call it what it is.

Having been told to my face that a person chooses their sexuality is not something I wanted that parent to remind me of."Other users urged that we desperately need LGBTQ education in schools to combat viewpoints such as Montague's.\- This article first appeared on Yahoo
