A WOMAN bursts into tears at a sexy party as the reality of an open relationship leaves her overwhelmed - despite begging her partner to explore it.

Surrounded by glamorously dressed couples and singletons, Sharmayne, 26, admits to her husband Jamie, 29, that it's all a bit too much.
She tells him: "I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed."
He responds: "Do you want to take a little break?"
The pair head outside for some fresh air and Sharmayne immediately becomes tearful.
She says: "I just feel overwhelmed. It's just a bit much for me, the whole situation."
Showing compassion, Jamie reassures her: "We're not obligated to do anything. This is our journey."
Sharmayne continues: "I'm just uncomfortable."
Their Open House future is left hanging in the balance with Jamie asking: "Where do we go from here?"
Confused Sharmayne says: "I don't know if I'm going to be able to hold myself together now.
"I really don't want to do it. I just want to go home."
Her reaction to the unconventional world of swinging isn't unusual on the show. Often one or both parties in a relationship are left grappling with their emotions as their significant other hooks up with third parties.
Last week, non-monogamy expert Effy Blue suggested couple Tom and Lauren get intimate with other people.
After returning to their room, Lauren told Tom: "Don't be nervous.
"You absolutely got this."
Lauren admitted it was her idea to take part on the show - saying she felt like they had been "thrown in at the deep end".
She told the camera: "But to be able to have him to have the confidence that we can go off, have our fun, come back to each other at the end of the night and it's absolutely insane."
Things got too intense for Tom, who retreated to the bathroom to be sick.
The narrator then said: "But the thought of flying solo entirely naked isn't sitting well with Tom."

Tom could be heard vomiting in the toilet and looked distressed.
He confessed: "This is going to be horrible,' to which Lauren replied: "I just want to cuddle you."
Tom added: "I feel absolutely petrified and sick."
The week before, there were more tears when couple Alana and Alex had a threesome with another woman called Georgie.
After the deed was done, Alex struggled with how intense Georgie and Alana's connection had been.
He could be seen silently crying in bed as his girlfriend fell asleep.

How Dua Lipa's lookalike sister Rina is desperate to be famous actress & how rivalry with star spurs her on
IT can't be easy growing up in the shadow of one of the hottest and most famous singers in the world. So it's little wonder that there's a touch of sibling rivalry between Dua Lipa and her younger sister, aspiring actress Rina. 13 13 13 A source close to the family says: 'Not many people know what it's like to have a pop superstar as an older sister. 'It has without a doubt got its perks but constantly being in her shadow would take its toll on anyone. But it's made her more determined than ever to be her own person.' Rina was just 16 when her sister hit the big time, and since then Dua has continued her meteoric rise, landing Vogue covers and Grammy awards aplenty, not to mention an equally gorgeous fiance in Brit actor Callum Turner. Behind the scenes though, Rina has been working just as hard - and is determined to make a name for herself, independent of Dua. As well as gracing the pages of Vogue, she's already got her own fan pages, a whopping 1 million Insta followers, and just last week was spotted rubbing shoulders with Sydney Sweeney at Miu Miu's London party. Growing up in London, then their parents' native Kosovo, which they moved to when she was six, Rina has said she "worshipped" Dua. The move meant the sisters and their brother Gjin formed an incredibly tight bond as they navigated life in another country. When Dua was 15, however, she begged her family to let her move back to the UK to embark on a singing career. It wasn't a decision they took lightly and while Dua was chasing her dreams, Rina's formative teenage years were spent mostly without her big sister around. 'She was young, but she was mature, she was ready. My parents didn't let her go easily — it was all done in a very controlled way," Rina has said of that time. 'She had to get back at certain times and she lived with a family friend. But it was hard. I missed her. She worked very, very hard. I really looked up to her for that and I do to this day.' Inside glam life of Dua Lipa's sister Rina as 'Gen Z It Girl' models with Game of Thrones star and parties with Hadids By the time the family had reunited in the UK, Dua was well on her way to fame - and Rina had her own plan. With jet black hair, an enviable figure, and distinctive, different-coloured eyes (one brown, and one blue), she signed a modelling contract while still in school and, like many Gen Zs, fell into influencing. 13 13 An insider said: 'Rina has of course always really admired her sister but has had times felt that pressure of having such a successful sibling. 'She has also made it clear she wants to do things off her own back - she is grateful for the opportunities that have come her way because of Dua but she believes she would have made it on her own.' Now, Rina - who attended the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School, which has made the likes of Billie Piper and Nicholas Hoult, on Saturdays - has her heart set on becoming a successful actress. When she was 18, she vowed: 'I think Rina will be everywhere. My plan is to go forward with my acting and do that and really focus on that. 'I feel like a big budget film is the dream and going to your premiere in Leicester Square, but also I think a series would be really fun.' 13 13 Fast forward to this year, and Rina has appeared in short films The End of Love and Midpoint, and is set to make her feature film debut in Expectations - a contemporary adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. 'Performing, being on stage, being in front of the camera — I knew that was what I wanted to do. I like to talk a lot," she has said. It's yet to be the glitzy career she had hoped for onscreen, but her popularity online is ever growing, though still falls well short of Dua's 87 million followers. Aspiring to the dizzy heights of fame enjoyed by Dua, Rina gushed: 'Dua's my biggest teacher and I'm so in awe of her work ethic.' Whether she manages to reach similar heights, though, is yet to be seen. 13

Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn stuns in sizzling gym wear snap after hitting back at mum-shaming over OnlyFans pics
SARAH Jayne Dunn looked incredible in in sizzling gym wear snap after hitting back at mum-shaming over OnlyFans pics The ex-Hollyoaks actress, 43, showed off her toned abs in a fuchsia pink sports crop top and shorts. 3 Sarah flashed a smile while at the gym, as she put her trim physique on display. She finished her workout look with bronzed makeup and went on to defend her choice to wear cosmetic products in the gym. Sarah wrote alongside the snap: "Someone actually asked me… 'Are you seriously wearing makeup to the gym?' "Yep. I am. I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for ME! "A bit of tinted moisturiser and mascara. Not full glam. Just enough to feel like I've got my sh*t together before I throw some weights around. "And honestly? I'm bored of the judgement. "Since when did wearing makeup mean you're not serious about your workout? "Some women feel their best fresh faced. Some love a bit of glow and gloss. Some genuinely couldn't care less. ALL of it is valid." She added: "Wearing makeup doesn't mean I'm insecure. Not wearing it doesn't mean you're more confident. "Let's not turn personal choice into a personality trait. Soap star hits back as she's mum-shamed over racy pics "So yeah, I lift, I sweat, I push myself hard… with a bit of blush and mascara on. Shocking, I know." The former soap star, who played Mandy Richardson on Hollyoaks from 1996 to 2021, famously left the show after being issued an ultimatum by furious bosses. Despite the star admitting that she's thriving in her new OnlyFans role, it doesn't come without it's criticism. Sarah recently hit back after being mum-shamed over her racy photos. They ordered her to quit adult subscription site OnlyFans, where she was flogging risque shots, or be axed. While she's been making big money on the platform, having claimed to have taken home £700,000 in 2022, Sarah has found herself the target of cruel trolling. Taking to Instagram to confront her latest bully, she sarcastically responded to their nasty comment. The follower had written: "Yeah why not just make sure your kids get bullied because of your content just so you can get a little validation from people you don't know, good idea." But Sarah - who shares son Stanley, nine, with her husband Jonathan Smith - made sure to clap back with humour, pretending to read a positive one in a get-ready-with-me video. With the aforementioned jibe shown on the screen, she instead read: "Thanks for your inspiring content. Your son is really lucky to have a mom like you that loves him so much. Please show us some more of your outfits." Sarah then enthused: "Of course I will! What a kind, kind comment. Thank you. I will happily show you another outfit," before proceding to talk her fans through what she had been wearing. At the end, she concluded: "Thanks again for that really, really lovely, positive comment." The actress quit the Channel 4 soap for a career on OnlyFans three years ago. Hollyoaks said it doesn't allow cast members to be active on certain 18+ websites because of the show's responsibility to its young audience. Speaking about posting on OnlyFans before, Sarah said it was "about taking back control, about empowerment and confidence and having full power over my choices". 3
