TV star couple to host new BBC One series on mental health and therapy after success of Netflix show

MATT and Emma Willis have been open about having therapy during bumpy times in their 16-year marriage ­­– and now they are dropping in on stranger’s counselling sessions.

The couple, who co-host Netflix dating show Love Is Blind, will go behind the scenes of real-life therapy in a new series for the BBC.

The four-parter will see the duo joined by individuals looking to improve their lives in what will be the first time cameras capture therapy in action for British TV.

From the makers of Channel 4’s First Dates, Inside Therapy will also feature some of Britain’s leading counsellors.

An insider told me: “Matt and Emma are really digging deep into what it looks like to go through therapy with unprecedented access to some of the leading mental health experts.

“What happens inside therapy sessions must normally stay within those sessions, but some brave individuals have agreed to showcase what it’s really like. The clinic will capture their breakthroughs in real time.

“It will cover topics from grief and anxiety to relationship struggles and crippling phobias.

“Matt and Emma make the perfect hosts for this, as both of them have been very open about their own transformative experiences with therapy, including marriage counselling.”

Matt and Emma added: “Therapy has played a huge role in our lives. It’s given us the tools to understand ourselves and each other better.

“With this series we’ll hear from experts and see what really happens in therapy, to help break down the stigma and start conversations.

“We know therapy isn’t always easy to access, so by bringing it to TV, we hope to give people a window into the process and share tools that could help them navigate their own challenges.

The series, which is currently in the works, will air on BBC One.

It follows Matt’s BBC documentary Fighting Addiction, in which the Busted star discussed his struggle with drugs and alcohol addiction.

SHOPPERS are rushing to Asda to get their hands on a must-have winter gadget.

The supermarket has slashed the price of the smart laundry airer that promises to dry clothes without using radiators.

The Silver Heated Winged Clothes Airer was originally £40 but is now just £28.97.

Made from Aluminium and foldable for easy storage, the airer can be purchased in-store or online with delivery starting from £3.75.

Users simply plug the drier into the mains which heats up each rail – resulting in less laundry clutter around the home.

Customers were over the moon with the product, with one writing: “Absolutely fantastic would definitely recommend,” wrote one customer.

“Needed extra drying space for jumpers. This is ideal,” said a second.

“This has been a life saver. Plenty of room, the clothes dry quickly once the heat is on,” echoed a third.

Another added: “Had this for several months, best thing ever, works best if you dry things flat and rotate often but a saviour when the weather’s wet and cold.”

With Spring just around the corner, shoppers have been hitting the store to stock up on gardening essentials – with prices starting as little as £2.

Jemma Heathfield took to TikTok to show off some of the new-in goodies, but you’ll have to act fast if you want to snap them up.

If you’re a disco fan, why not carry on the trend with a stunning disco ball plants for just £16.

The large pink planter is perfect to add some shimmer to your garden, and it’s available in-store and online too.

But if you want all the glamour of the disco planter on a smaller scale, the mini disco balls are perfect for sticking in your houseplants and catching the sunlight – and you can’t go wrong for £2.

Next, Jemma showed off a pink Polaroid Camera Planter for £12, and a slightly larger green Boombox Planter for £15.

The pastel-toned planters are perfect for spring, along with the adorable cherry Gardening Tools set, £16, which comes with a fork, trowel and pruner.

Don’t worry if the pink cherry design isn’t your thing though, it also comes in a cute green lead print, and a gnome design too.

And if you’re terrible at remembering to water your plants, don’t worry, Asda is also selling water globes for £5 each.

But, you will have to be quick to get it with the new addition to the M&S food aisles costing just £2.50.

The retailer took to Facebook to unveil the new Millionaire’s Sauce.

M&S told shoppers: “Top off your favourite desserts with a generous squeeze of our Millionaire’s Sauce.

“Smooth and rich with caramel, it contains an indulgent blend of milk and dark chocolate, just waiting to be drizzled over waffles, pancakes and ice cream.”

The “versatile and delicious” sauce can be found in the food hall.

Shoppers immediately alerted friends and family to the new topping as one called it “wonderful food” and another said, “looks good.”

It comes as the retailer prepares for Pancake Day on March 5, unveiling a range of new products for the occasion.

As well as the sweet chocolate sauce, they have also released a decadent Pistachio Creme and two ready-made pancake shaker bottles.

The Triple Chocolate Pancake Shaker Mix and the High Protein Pancake Mix Shaker with five grams of protein.

The retailer excitedly announced the new range on February 15, calling the £4.50 Collection Pistachio Creme “the must have topping this pancake day.”

M&S describes it as: “Silky smooth, rich and utterly moreish, this gorgeously green spread is created by a family-founded artisan chocolatier in Italy’s Lombardy region, using the most flavoursome pistachios.

“Spread it, dollop it, or dunk into it – this limited edition crème is magic on anything it touches.”

One shopper wasted no time in bagging the new item, saying on Facebook: “Got it today can’t wait to try later on some pancakes or biscuits.”

“Off to M&S we go,” another wrote while tagging a friend.

But it is not only Pancake Day that the retailer is gearing up for.

Shoppers have gone wild for an M&S Easter egg stuffed with munch mix.

The egg is filled with the brand’s popular Easter munch mix, which combines jelly-fied eggs, jelly carrots, white chocolate and raspberry popcorn, milk chocolate pretzels and more.

One shopper couldn’t wait to share the find, posting a picture online and calling it: “the chunky, crunchy, loaded milk chocolate half egg of dreams.”

The egg costs £12 and is available both in store and on Ocado to order online.

Meanwhile, those who want a delicious and indulgent treat without the need for a special occasion should check out the retailer’s six-person chocolate pudding that has shoppers raving.

Seven signs your partner secretly hates you from holiday planning to doing chores on weekends

IF your partner is always busy, glued to their phone or watches your favourite TV show without you, it can seem they are avoiding you – and it may be so.

Research found 69 per cent of people unhappy in their relationship spend more time alone.

Portrait of Jo Hemmings.
Jo Hemmings, a behavioural psychologist and relationship counsellor, reveals the signs your partner would be happier without you

Natalie Clarke hears from behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings about signs your partner may hate you . . .

THEY’VE STOPPED NAGGING

You might see this as positive, but how wrong you are.

I see it in clients all the time when their relationship is breaking down.

Your partner has gone from belittling you and being critical to saying nothing.

You think, “That’s a relief, I’m not being nagged”.

But it is sinister.

They can’t be bothered even to undermine you any more, they don’t care enough to nag.

It is a sign they’ve almost checked out, and is difficult to come back from.

ALWAYS ON THEIR PHONE

When your partner is suddenly glued to their screen, the immediate thought is: “They’re cheating.”

But very often it’s not that they’re texting someone else, rather that they’re using their phone as a shield to protect themselves from you.

THEY WATCH YOUR FAVOURITE TV SERIES WITHOUT YOU

Viewing a show together means snuggle-up time.

But if your partner now tunes in alone or with friends, it’s again about avoidance.

They don’t want to sit on the sofa with you. If their hand or knee accidentally touches yours, they will recoil.

Watching the show with friends avoids intimacy and even having to have a conversation about it.

Your partner can’t be bothered to engage with you, even about that.

If necessary, they will watch the show alone — but they know that might invite difficult questions.

THEIR EYES ROLL WHEN YOU SPEAK

One of the first things that people do when they start to hate their partner is avoid eye contact.

But another sure sign is eye-rolling.

People often aren’t even conscious they’re doing it, but if you catch your partner’s eyes heading skyward it’s a definite red flag.

THEY COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT NEXT YEAR’S HOLIDAY

If your partner is not planning your next holiday together, they don’t see a future with you[/caption]

Your partner’s favourite topic used to be next year’s sunshine getaway, but now they don’t care if it’s Spain or Italy — or anywhere at all.

That’s because they’re not planning on going away with you next year.

They don’t see a future with you. In their mind, they’re somewhere else — away from you.

A lack of interest in something they were interested in before is a danger sign — and another can be if they encourage you to go off somewhere nice on your own.

They sound like they’re being kind but they just want space away from you.

One survey found 23 per cent of people encouraged their other half to pursue solo activities when not happy in the relationship.

THEY’VE STARTED USING WEIRD JARGON

It sounds unusual but is true.

A study found people use formal language as a means to suppress emotional intimacy.

You are now treated like someone at work.

They might say phrases like, “Let’s table this”, or, “Let’s put a pin in it for now”.

It sabotages any emotional connection, putting you in a different role — colleague rather than lover.

People do it subconsciously but it’s a subtle sign they’re moving aside from the relationship.

THEY DO CHORES ON SUNDAY MORNING – ONCE YOUR TIME FOR SEX

If your partner knows Sunday mornings are time you set aside for intimacy, they’ll arrange something else.

They might start DIY jobs they once put off at any cost.

Keeping busy around the house means no risk of intimacy.

Or they might take up golf or running — to avoid you

Cristiano Ronaldo’s private jet grounded at Manchester airport after crack is discovered in window

CRISTIANO RONALDO’s multi-million-pound private jet is stranded at Manchester Airport after the discovery of a technical issue.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s £61million Bombardier Global Express 6500 jet touched down in Manchester on Friday and sent footie fans into a frenzy.

The reason for its arrival in Manchester is currently unknown and still being debated by footie fans.

But the luxury aircraft won’t be going anywhere anytime soon as it was spotted with a crack in one of its windows.

Engineers discovered the matte black jet, which has an image of Ronaldo‘s siu celebration on it and his CR7 logo, had the issue while giving it a once over.

It won’t be permitted to leave the airport until the crack has been repaired.

It’s understood engineers are currently waiting for the replacement part to be shipped.

The stunning airliner was spotted next to the aircraft Manchester City took to Madrid for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 qualifier against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Ronaldo, 40, reportedly splashed the cash on his luxury airliner last year.

It’s not known if Ronaldo was on board the plane when it arrived in Manchester, where he spent several trophy-laden years across two stints with Manchester United.

Inside Cristiano Ronaldo's incredible life

AS arguably the greatest player of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo lives a life befitting such a superstar.

Ron loves a fast motor almost as much as scoring goals with his vast car collection including one costing £9MILLION.

Upon moving to Saudi – Ronaldo moved into a luxury skyscraper hotel before swapping it for an Arabian mansion.

As a globetrotter, Ronaldo likes to travel in style like onboard this luxury private jet.

Behind every great man is a great woman, and Ronaldo has one in partner Georgina Rodriguez.

Georgina opened up on the moment they first met when she was working as a shop girl, saying it was “love at first sight”.

Before meeting Georgina, Ronaldo dated some of the world’s hottest women including Kim Kardashian and Irina Shayk.

Now it’s all about the family, with Ronaldo’s offspring now capable of making up a five-a-side team.

Ronaldo’s very well paid on the pitch, but he makes a ton of money off it too with endorsement deals ranging from KFC to his own range of underpants.

He’s also a prolific investor and owns a string of hotels.

He’s currently building a holiday resort in the Red Sea which has been dubbed “a new paradise”.

Ronaldo gives back too – which is one of the reasons he doesn’t have any tattoos.

He’s highly dedicated, as a look inside his health and fitness regime shows.

That dedication saw him transform from a weedy teen to hulking Adonis.

Head here to read more on Cristiano Ronaldo.

He was in action for Al-Nassr the evening before in their 3-2 win over Al-Alhi.

Ronaldo first joined United in 2003, staying until 2009 when he made a blockbuster switch to Real Madrid.

He made an emotional return to Old Trafford for a short stint between 2021 and 2022, which ended after his explosive interview with Sun columnist Piers Morgan.

The footie icon and his Al-Nassr team-mates will return to the pitch on Friday, welcoming Al-Ettifaq to the Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Stadium.
