Emily, 34, opened up about life as a new mum and said she “can’t look at him without sobbing”.

She told the panel: “I’m not going to be a perfect parent, there’s no such thing as a perfect parent.

“But this is my chance, there is so many more reasons that I’m going to keep campaigning, I want my son to grow up in a world where women are treated better.

“But thinking about it now, when he’s going to get his first girlfriend or boyfriend ‘no he’s mine’.

“It’s my chance to educate in the best way I can, I won’t get it perfect all the time.

“I think I’ll be a good mum, I’m a good mum.

“I love him so much.

“The other day I looked at him and my partner in bed and I was going off to promote Rivals and I was like ‘life doesn’t get better than this’.”

The actress goes totally naked as she plays tennis in the sexy show Rivals, now airing on Disney+.

It’s an adaption of Dame Jilly Cooper‘s award-winning novel focusing on the ruthless world of independent TV in 1986.

“We all had so much fun doing it, the world needs this at the moment, it’s escapism,” she said on the ITV show.

She shared: “I read the script and obviously they said there was going to be a lot of nudity and I said ‘Disney, there’s no way on earth you’re going to get be playing tennis’, it was the best job I’ve done in my life.”

Coleen Nolan asked if she was nervous about the sex scenes, with the star replying: “I was fine with it, it’s so funny, people always go ‘you need to pick a lane and say you can’t play these kind of roles but also campaign against sexual violence against women.

“People think you can’t do both.

“I’m really trying to hammer this message home, yes you can, I’m exactly where I’m meant to be in a professional environment, obviously in the past it wasn’t always that way but we have intimacy coordinators, it’s heavily choreographed and we’re all having a very nice time, because we’re professional and safe.”

In the fictional county of Rutshire, a long-standing rivalry between a Tory Member of Parliament and the controller of Corinium Television is about to boil over – with shocking consequences.

The show stars a whole host of British TV favourites, including former EastEnders star Danny Dyer, Doctor Who’s David Tennant and Skins heartthrob Luke Pasqualino.

Episode one of Rivals opens with Alex Hassell‘s character Rupert Campbell Black having a loud, passionate romp on board the iconic Concorde.

Later he’s seen with Inbetweeners star Emily‘s character Sarah Stratton who strips off for a game of naked tennis with Rupert.

While clever camera angles are used to protect Emily’s modesty, Hassell bares all for the racy scene.

It’s one of the sauciest moments of the cheeky eight-parter.

Emily — better known as Charlotte in The Inbetweeners — is married to Deputy Prime Minister Paul Stratton, but is also having a good knockabout with the central character, Tory MP Rupert Campbell-Black, played by Alex Hassell.

Though he’s naked too, when visitors turn up at his mansion, he doesn’t cover up like Sarah.

Instead, he stands there proudly holding his racket and demands to know: “Who the f* are you and why are you here?”

The sex continues as a five-minute saucy montage sees Decland and Maude, played by Aidan Turner and Victoria Smurfitt, have loud sex after an argument.

Their kids – who can hear their frolicking – turn up the music to drown out their bonk against the dresser.

Most of us are spent time fighting with the bin bag to pull the sides over the bin and make sure it doesn’t fall out as we fill it up – but one woman’s simple hack has changed the game.

Sasha Dennocenzo took to social media to show off the simple life trick – and millions of people have been left aghast as they realised they’ve been doing it wrong their whole lives.

The mum said: Now I feel dumb,” after discovering the simple trick.

In the clip, she revealed: “I was today years old when I found out garbage bags come inside out the box.

“Install like this and they are right side up.”

Sasha then showed viewers how easily you can get the bin bag into the bin.

In the clip she took a bin bag from the roll and ripped it off before opening it up.

Then her trusty hack come into play.

Instead of pushing the bottom of the bag into the bottom of the bin, she took the top of the bag and put it around the corners of the bin.

Once it was secured around the top she then pushed the bottom of the bag into the bin and she was done.

Not only does it make the process so much quicker – it also means your bin bag won’t fall into the bin and cause a mess.

The clip posted to her TikTok account @sashadenno has since gone viral with over 4.8 million views and 167k likes.

People were quick to take to the comments baffled by the easy trick they had been missing their entire lives.

One person wrote: “At this point, I’m not sure I’m even breathing right since everything I’m doing is wrong.”

More things people are only just realising...

Another commented: “Are you kidding me right now. IVE GONE 34 YEARS WITHOUT KNOWING HOW A TRASH BAG WORKS BUT THEY TEACH US LONG DIVISION???!”

“I’m 47 years old and didn’t know this,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “Can I do ANYTHING right!?”

“Wait what? Seriously? I’m questioning my entire adult life,” claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “I feel like my life has been a circle of lies and tricks.”

My dad was a sadistic, violent monster – I developed over 2,000 different personalities to cope, it’s an army of helpers

A WOMAN who suffered horrific abuse by the hands of her own father has revealed how she survived her traumatic childhood.

Jeni Haynes, who lives in Australia, shared how she developed over 2,500 personalities to cope with her father’s vile abuse that took place over countless years.

In the end, her Dissociative Identity Disorder and multiple personalities saved her life and got her father convicted[/caption]

Jeni has opened up to 60 Minutes Australia on how her Dissociative Identity Disorder saved her and got her father convicted of the abuse he made her endure.

She said: “My dad inflicted, chose to inflict severe, sadistic, violent abuse that was completely unavoidable, unescapable and life threatening.

“And he did this, he chose to do this everyday of my entire childhood.”

Jeni took her father, Richard Haynes, to court for repeatedly raping and abusing her as a young girl reports the BBC.

And while Jeni was the only woman in the witness stand that day – the court heard testimonies from six different people.

To cope with the horror of her life, Jeni’s mind came up with an extraordinary way to protect her – creating new identities for her to detach from the pain. 

The abuse she suffered was so extreme that Jeni says she developed over 2,500 personalities to cope – including a four-year-old girl called Symphony.

My dad’s abuse was calculated and it was planned. It was deliberate and he enjoyed every minute of it.

Jeni Haynes

It’s believed to be the first case in the world where a victim with diagnosed Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) – or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) – has testified in their other personalities and secured a conviction.

“We weren’t scared. We had waited such a long time to tell everyone exactly what he did to us and now he couldn’t shut us up,” she said.

Speaking to the Australian TV show, Jeni, now a doctor and author revealed her father was ‘vile’ and made an ‘army‘ of personalities to protect herself and get him convicted for his monstrous crimes.

Jeni and her family moved from Bexleyheath in London to Australia when she was just four, but her father’s abuse had already begun.

The brave woman waived her anonymity rights, as a victim of abuse, so her father could be identified.

“My dad’s abuse was calculated and it was planned. It was deliberate and he enjoyed every minute of it,” Jeni told the court in a victim impact statement.

Jeni was also denied medical care for her injuries from beatings and sexual abuse, which have developed into serious lifelong conditions.

Now aged 54, Jeni has irreparable damage to her eyesight, jaw, bowel, anus and coccyx. These have required extensive surgeries including a colostomy operation in 2011.

The abuse would continue until Jeni was 11, when the family moved back to the UK. Her parents divorced shortly after, in 1984. She believes no-one, not even her mother, was aware of what she was going through.

Jeni first created Symphony, a four-year-old girl who, she says, exists in her own time reality.

She told the BBC he was in fact abusing symphony when he was abusing her.

But then Symphony also created personalities to help her cope with the abuse – thousands of them.

Jeni has revealed that there is one called Muscles – a teenager styled like Billy Idol. He is tall and wears clothes which show off his strong arms. He’s calm and protective.

Volcano who is very tall and strong, and clad from top to toe in black leather. He has bleached blond hair.

Jeni was allowed to testify in court as Symphony as well as five other personalities sharing the different types of abuse she endured – and finally, ten years after reporting the crimes got to see justice be served.

Richard Haynes pleaded guilty to more than two dozen child sexual abuse charges

Jeni sat metres away from her father in court to see him sentenced to 45 years. Haynes, who is suffering from poor health, will serve at least 33 years before he is eligible for parole.

The clip was shared on their TikTok account and was watched by more than 2 million people.

People were moved by Jeni’s story, which left them heartbroken for her.

One person wrote: “God bless you Jeni.”

Another commented: “You are an amazing survivor Jeni. I wish you all the best in your life.”

“Her brain was the only one trying to protect her,” penned a third.

Meanwhile a fourth said: “It’s amazing how the brain tries to protect you as much as it can.”

“The poor poor woman. We truly failed her,” claimed a fifth.

Someone else added: “People need to understand this is real and more than life-impacting. These dear folks need support and understanding all their lives.”

My mental health was terrible so I quit my teaching job & moved into a van to save cash -but it’s freezing in the winter

A WOMAN has revealed that she quit her job and moved full time into a van after her mental health took a turn for the worse.

Emily loves living in her tiny camper-van, but freezing winter temperatures and a lack of space means that it can sometimes be a struggle.

She said her new lifestyle has made her so much happier[/caption]

Just a year and a half ago, Emily was a teacher in a primary school, but she said that the job completely drained her mental health.

“It was the worst it had ever been in my entire life”, she said.

She decided to switch careers, and after gaining a yoga qualification, set up her own company, and began to teach classes.

However, her yoga teaching job doesn’t pay as much, so in order to sustain her lifestyle, she decided to ditch the apartment she shared with her husband, and buy a van.

Despite the small space, Emily, who shares the van with her dog Remy, said that she doesn’t feel like she’s missing out on anything that she used to have in her apartment.

“We had so many pots and pans we never used, and now we have one pot and one pan, and it’s everything we need”, she told the Tiny Home Tours YouTube channel.

Emily’s husband occasionally lives with her in the camper-van, but mostly lives in his car, as he travels around in his job as a mountaineering guide.

The van was £8,800 off Facebook Marketplace, and had previously only been used for hunting, meaning that it was in a great condition.

Emily then spent £3800 renovating it and turning it into her dream van.

When she first moved into her new home, back in January, the weather was freezing, and she struggled to stay warm.

However, she now has a propane heater that keeps her toasty all throughout the winte.

To power the appliances in the van, Emily has installed solar panels on the roof, meaning that her van is able to run off grid.

And despite her bed being much smaller than the one she used to have in her apartment, Emily said that it is the most comfortable mattress she has ever had.

Is it legal to live in a van?

IF you are looking to live in a van to save money or travel, you'll be pleased to know that there are no UK laws stopping you.

However, you must ensure your vehicle has passed its MOT and is fully road legal.

There could also be restrictions on where you can park up to sleep in your van.

For example, local authorities place restrictions on certain streets or lay-bys, and you could be fined if you spend the night there.

It could also be unsafe to stop in certain locations, particularly at night-time.

Check the The Highway Code guide for guidance.

“I sleep better here than I have ever slept anywhere”, she said.

She added that her van even has a skylight in it, which has allowed her to see the Northern Lights whilst lying in bed.

Emily said that she has been criticised for having a dog living with her in the van, but she insisted that Remy leads a happy lifestyle.

“She spends most of her time outside and is running around the woods”, she said.

Emily said that her change of lifestyle has allowed her to become much happier, meaning that she has the energy to try and make other people feel happier as well.
