Sunday night, the Rolling Stones played at BST (the British Summer Time festival) in Hyde Park. I was there and it was fantastic. You would expect nothing less of the man who invented ‘Moves Like Jagger’, but it’s hard to believe Mick is now 78! How does he stay in such phenomenal shape? Well, he dances and goes to the gym every day of every week – that’s dedication – but it shows. That said, he’s not the only aging rocker! Turn to page 40 to read about the rise of the middle-age rocker followers (I’m one alongside my friend Sina above). I went to my first festival about six years ago. It was The Eighties Rewind festival in Henley-on-Thames, and it became the first of many. I haven’t braved Glastonbury yet – not sure…

During a debate on Loose Women recently, Denise Welch caused widespread horror when she admitted to peeing in a swimming pool, while on holiday. The feisty panellists were discussing the current petition or a Spanish city to start fining people who wee in the sea. As they debated on whether they had done the same before, mum-of-two Denise, 64, went further – and admitted to weeing in a swimming pool, to the disgust of her co-hosts! Ruth Langsford began the conversation, with: ‘Now I am going to ask you a question, have you ever weed in the sea? ‘If the answer is yes, then you might want to strike Spain off of your holiday list because authorities there want to fine swimmers £645 if they pee in the sea.’ Ruth confessed, ‘I’ll go first. I…

Comedian Ruby Wax bared her soul recently, by admitting to fans she is suffering from her first big bout of depression in 12 years. The star, 69, who has battled with her mental health over the years – quitting TV 25 years ago as a result – said she is ‘frazzled’ and ‘didn’t spot the signs’. Taking to Instagram Monday week ago, Ruby shared two images of herself, writing: ‘A sure sign of depression is dead eyes (first picture). In contrast to me when alive and well (second picture).’ The mum-of-three also told her fans just a few days ago that the bout of depression had taken her by surprise. Alongside a zoomed-in image of her eyes, she wrote about her work for the past 15 years, fighting the stigma that still exists against…
