“The skin on my legs feels very thin. It can be difficult to make love. I can end up at the A&E with skin rips.
“But we’ve solved that issue as we doggy-fashion. Love hurts.”
Phillip, Giggling With Holly host, said: “Love finds its way.”

People think I am with her for all of the wrong reasons. I know that Britain is beautiful and many people want to visit there, but I’m not bothered. I’m ready to live with her anyplace in the world.
Mohamed shared that he brought Iris home for dinner during his visit to Egypt. She spent time with his mother.
‘My mother loved Iris, and they got along well despite a language barrier. My mother said to me that if she’s happy, then I’m happy. Mothers want their son to be with the woman he truly loves.
