Katie Piper shares frank marriage admission after couples therapy
The Loose Women favourite lifts the lid on her relationship with her husband and reveals why the happy couple needed therapy Katie Piper has opened up about going through couples therapy to make her marriage stronger. The campaigner and presenter, who has been with husband Richard Sutton since 2013, said the pair continue to work on their relationship more than a decade later. Describing it as a 'relationship MOT', Katie, 41, says it's been key to keeping their marriage on track. 'I've had therapy in lots of ways that people wouldn't [expect],' she explained. 'Therapy for the burn injury stopped years ago. I've had therapy since for normal things in life that people go through that aren't visible. I've been to couples therapy with Rich. It's like a relationship MOT and it helps because it validates what you're going through.' Loose Women star Katie says it's helped her feel 'seen and heard'. 'It's healthy for your marriage and friendships,' advocates the mum-of-two. 'Relationships go through different seasons. You see him as your boyfriend, then he's your husband, then you see him as a dad. It sounds a bit cliché and overused, but Rich has got a lot of kindness at his core.' The couple have daughters Belle, 11, and Penelope, seven, and Katie says she'd love to expand their family. After trying for a third baby but not being successful, Katie says they have been talking about fostering and adoption. 'I know the kids would love another child,' Katie admits. 'We tried naturally before I turned 40 but it wasn't meant to be. We talked about how far we would take it – IVF and fostering or adopting. I would lean more to fostering and adopting because I was like, 'I'm done with medical stuff.'' The household has grown recently - with the addition of a dog. 'The kids have always wanted a dog and [this year] we rehomed one from Battersea, through Alison Hammond on For the Love of Dogs,' Katie told woman&home magazine in a new intereview. 'It's like having a newborn but it's good for the kids. It has given them something to pour their responsibility into.' Katie survived a sulphuric acid attack by an ex-boyfriend when she was 24. She suffered severe scarring to her face, chest, neck, arm and hands, and has undergone more than 250 operations. She became a campaigner after the 2008 horror. She recently said she "never thought she'd make it to 40" after the devastating attack. Sharing her thoughts on the beauty pressures put on women, Katie says they should embrace ageing. 'Women, I think, often feel that they fade out of the male gaze, and I was removed in seconds at 24,' she said. 'Nobody experiences such rapid transition and that's why it [was] traumatic and unnatural. We live in a society that values beauty and youth, so it's [about] exploring where you sit with that, and how that affects how you operate and your identity. 'I don't want women to fear transition. I want them to be malleable, not rigid. I want them to know there is life after and not to feel controlled by their circumstances.... Now I've arrived in [my] 40s, I realise that this is the time of my life when I've truly been living.' The August issue of woman&home is on sale Thursday. Her book Still Beautiful: On Age, Beauty & Owning Your Space by Katie Piper is available now.

Fare dodger caught red handed after evading £1,650 in tickets
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A prolific fare dodger was caught red-handed after racking up a £1,650 bill on the Elizabeth line. The man had avoided paying for almost 250 journeys by using a trick known as short-faring over eight months. He had been using his Oyster Card to travel from Harold Wood or Romford to Stratford in east London, but he had only bought the fare in Zones 2 to 3, instead of the full fare from Zone 6 to 2. A monthly Travelcard between Zones 2 to 3 costs £128.7, while a Zones 2 to 6 pass sets you back by £214.7. Thinking he had gamed the system, the unassuming passenger travelled regularly between the zones by shortening his fare, but the detection system picked up his journeys. The TfL investigators set up a sting operation at 5.30am to catch the man on his morning commute to Stratford from Harold Wood. The heated encounter is featured in an upcoming episode of the Channel 5 series Fare Dodgers: At War with the Law, which airs on Monday. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video His fare dodging had created a 35-page dossier of evidence for the investigators Rich and Greg to trawl through to understand his movements – and to set up the best time to catch him in action. He had avoided paying £1,651 worth of Tube tickets over around 245 journeys. Irregular payments and travel patterns can be picked up by the TfL's Irregular Travel Analysis Platform (ITAP), which also detects short-faring. It combs through ticketing and journey data, passengers' information, CCTV and travel patterns to spot fare evaders racking up the biggest bills. The transport authority spent almost £22 million on a fare dodging crackdown last year. Around 3.4% of passengers avoided paying for travel between April and December last year. TfL recovered £400,000 through the courts after the prosecution of 360 worst evaders. Dressed in normal clothing to stay undercover, the pair waited for the man to walk into their arms. When asking for a ticket check on his Oyster card, the man says he didn't have one. 'You do, so what did you use to come here,' the investigator asks. The man continues to insist he has used a bank card. While he agrees to provide his name and address, but he refuses to show his Oyster card, saying he has lost it. More Trending He eventually hands over the Oyster card after being taken to a back room for questioning when the investigators said they will call the police if he continues to be 'obstructive.' After the chat, he continued his journey while the case will be passed onto the TfL prosecution team. Another short-farer was caught at Waterloo station previously, who evaded paying £20,000 on his regular commute from Surrey to central London. The next episode of Fare Dodgers: At War with the Law is on Channel 5 airs at 9pm on Monday, June 23 on TV and on the streaming platform.

Kim Woodburn's biggest bust-ups from Big Brother moment to Loose Women spat
How Clean Is Your House and reality TV star Kim Woodburn has died aged 83, with fans paying tribute to the "icon" online as they reminisce on some of her most dramatic moments Kim Woodburn was no stranger to a spat or two on air, known for not being afraid to be honest with other celebrities on screen. The TV star, who has died aged 83 after taking a break from social media to focus on her health, has had numerous iconic moments on-air, from her Celebrity Big Brother takedown to her shocking live showdown on Loose Women. And while some may have found her outspoken approach to conflict insensitive at times, she made a name for herself amongst fans who will always remember some of her most iconic one-liners. Here, we take a look at all of her celebrity spats over the years. Celebrity Big Brother In January 2017, Portsmouth-born Kim, then aged 74, stormed the Celebrity Big Brother house, becoming infamous for her no‑holds‑barred confrontations. Her most explosive moment came during a joint tirade against Nicola McLean and former footballer Jamie O'Hara. Brandishing insults like 'two‑faced, chicken‑livered s***s', she even called O'Hara an 'adulterer that two‑timed your wife and she's got three kids' - prompting security to step in to avoid the conflict escalating. Coleen Nolan Loose Women presenter Coleen Nolan, 60, was also in the Big Brother house when Kim's tirade hit. Kim stood by claims that she was bullied in the CBB house by Coleen and others, which the presenter has strongly denied in the past. She told The Mirror at the time: "Anyone that knows me knows I'm not a bully. That would be the most hurtful thing people could call me." August 29, 2018, saw Kim and Coleen appear on ITV 's Loose Women together. What was billed as a peace talk ended dramatically as Kim branded Coleen 'lying trash' and a 'two‑faced maggot', claiming the panel had 'ganged up' on her. She stormed off live on air, prompting nearly 8,000 Ofcom complaints as she accused ITV of orchestrating the segment. How Clean Is Your House? Kim's time on How Clean Is Your House? from 2003 with Aggie MacKenzie ended bitterly in 2008. Aggie claimed that during a pantomime run in Brighton, Kim shoved her backstage quite forcefully - leading to a heated fallout. Aggie later stated, 'Kim was such a big, damaging part of my life. I feel she almost destroyed me.' Kim denied the allegations, maintaining she never insulted Aggie and was 'unclear where these false allegations have come from'. Kim previously told The Mirror: "I have never said anything derogatory about Aggie and I am not going to start now. I am unclear where these false allegations have come from but I wish her all the luck in the world." Rich, Famous and Homeless In April 2025, Kim recalled a disagreement with TV presenter Julia Bradbury during the 2009 Channel 5 series Rich, Famous and Homeless. She accused Bradbury, then aged 54, of hoarding two coats from a charity pile - one exactly Kim's size - leaving her in the cold. Kim labelled Bradbury 'rotten', saying she worn both coats throughout filming. She added: "Luckily, one of the production team stepped in and gave me his coat instead, and it was a blessing!"

3 Ways To Not Be Average When Investing, According To Robert Kiyosaki
Finding the right tax strategy can take time, but according to 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' author Robert Kiyosaki, learning how to use the tax code to your advantage can help you be an above-average investor. Learn More: Read Next: In a recent article, Kiyosaki shared advice from Tom Wheelwright, an author with expertise in three investment areas that provide tax benefits. These sectors include real estate, oil and gas, and agriculture. Seasoned investors considering investing in these economic sectors should consult with an accountant first to understand how to invest in these markets and take advantage of the tax benefits that come with it. Kiyosaki explained that in order to make real estate as profitable as possible, it's important to understand how the tax code can benefit you. He encouraged his followers to use debt to their advantage. With real estate, for example, investors can borrow money from the bank to purchase cash-flowing real estate. Then, because of depreciation, it's possible to own a cash-generating property, but show tax losses. This technique, like many Kiyosaki recommends, is for investors who are comfortable working closely with accountants who can ensure they choose the right property that makes the most financial sense. Robert Kiyosaki Is Dumping Gold and Silver: According to Kiyosaki, investing in oil and gas comes with tax advantages. The reason, according to author, tax expert and 'Rich Dad' advisor Tom Wheelwright, is that the United States wants to reduce dependence on foreign oil. Therefore, the government provides tax benefits to those who invest in U.S.-based oil and gas projects. A licensed accountant can provide individual advice on how much of your initial oil and gas investment you can deduct. The article explained that many different countries offer tax breaks for agricultural businesses. That's because agriculture is central to a thriving economy. In the U.S., farmers can deduct 100% of the 'ordinary and necessary' costs of running a farm (seeds, feed, and more) when it's purchased. This isn't the case in other types of businesses, and has significant tax advantages.
