It seems that love really is

all around us this summer.

First, we had Love Island and

now, we have Gemma Collin’s

Diva Forever. For me, Gemma is

as exasperating (see page 9) as

she is endearing, especially when

it comes to her relationship with

James ‘Arg ’ Argent.

Despite the unacceptable

things he’s done, Gem hangs on in

there, seemingly besotted, often

in tears – and who knows how it

will end. Love hurts as they say.

Meanwhile, a real-life Love

Actually is playing out in Downing

Street, where an older PM, Boris,

has fallen for a younger former

public servant, Carrie Symonds.

Then there’s former Brookside

star Sam Kane, who says of his

wife, Linda Lusardi,

‘I am so proud of her.

She looks amazing.’

Find out her secret

on page 10.
