Reminiscing on the Way Hockey Used to BeThe Pheu Thai Party and its coalition partner, the Bhumjaithai Party (BJT), have reaffirmed their commitment to coalition unity as they attempt to downplay tensions between them. Bhumjaithai leader and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the government enjoys a high degree of stability and there are no risk factors that could pose a threat to it. "In recent years, no government has commanded as large a majority in the House of Representatives as this administration," Mr Anutin said. "Prime Minister Paetontarn Shinawatra has clearly demonstrated her leadership skills and has the capability to steer the government. Collaboration among coalition members is also progressing smoothly. "Trivial issues among coalition parties are normal and can be addressed. There is no major conflict that cannot be resolved," Mr Anutin added. Asked about a photo featuring his golf outing with former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in Pathum Thani last week and whether Bhumjaithai would continue to oppose Pheu Thai, Mr Anutin said BJT was not trying to oppose Pheu Thai. "Bhumjaithai only expresses its stance and opinions on issues we believe will benefit the nation. At the same time, the party respects the majority vote," Mr Anutin said. In response to criticism the coalition government was formed because the parties were forced to do so, Mr Anutin said they were not forced to work together, but the coalition government feels compelled to work hard for the people. When asked whether the government could continue without BJT, Mr Anutin said no one is indispensable. "When the time comes, anyone can part ways. Nothing is indispensable," he said. Asked whether the coalition would remain in place until it completes its full term and whether coalition parties would stick together in the next government, Mr Anutin said the cabinet is responsible for running the country. "In a coalition government, the prime minister is the clear leader. If the leaders of coalition parties refuse to listen to the PM, they should not join the cabinet," he said. In the legislative branch, the role of the House of Representatives is separate from the government. All MPs have the right to express their opinions, he added. Mr Anutin also downplayed the Khao Kradong land controversy in Buri Ram, Bhumjaithai's political stronghold, as it threatens to ignite a dispute between the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) and the Department of Lands (DoL), which could escalate into open conflict and strain relations between Pheu Thai and Bhumjaithai. Mr Anutin said all parties involved must wait for a ruling from the Administrative Court. The SRT is supervised by Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit of Pheu Thai, while the DoL is overseen by Mr Anutin, the Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister, who leads Bhumjaithai. The dispute centres on land plots totalling 5,083 rai in the Khao Kradong area of Buri Ram's Muang district. The SRT is seeking to reclaim these plots, accusing the DoL of malfeasance for issuing land papers to illegal occupants. Additionally, the Chidchob family, which runs several businesses, including the Buriram International Circuit and a 32,600-seat football stadium, is linked to the controversy. The SRT filed a case with the Administrative Court in September 2021 demanding the DoL revoke its 900 land title deeds and remove all occupants from its property after the Supreme Court found the land belonged to the SRT in 2021. Of the 900 land title deeds, 12, which cover 179 rai, reportedly belong to the Chidchob family. Defence Minister and key Pheu Thai figure Phumtham Wechayachai reaffirmed unity among coalition parties on Saturday, saying that despite their differences on certain issues, they share the same goal of steering the country forward.WASHINGTON (AP) — As a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become Project 2025 as a road map for “exactly what our movement will do” with another crack at the White House.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? WASHINGTON (AP) — As a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become Project 2025 as a road map for “exactly what our movement will do” with another crack at the White House. As the blueprint for a hard-right turn in America became a liability during the 2024 campaign, Trump pulled an about-face. He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans written in part by his first-term aides and allies. Now, after being elected the 47th president on Nov. 5, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the detailed effort he temporarily shunned. Most notably, Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as “border czar;” and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy. Those moves have accelerated criticisms from Democrats who warn that Trump’s election hands government reins to movement conservatives who spent years envisioning how to concentrate power in the West Wing and impose a starkly rightward shift across the U.S. government and society. Trump and his aides maintain that he won a mandate to overhaul Washington. But they maintain the specifics are his alone. “President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “All of President Trumps’ Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump’s agenda, not the agenda of outside groups.” Here is a look at what some of Trump’s choices portend for his second presidency. As budget chief, Vought envisions a sweeping, powerful perch The Office of Management and Budget director, a role Vought held under Trump previously and requires Senate confirmation, prepares a president’s proposed budget and is generally responsible for implementing the administration’s agenda across agencies. The job is influential but Vought made clear as author of a Project 2025 chapter on presidential authority that he wants the post to wield more direct power. “The Director must view his job as the best, most comprehensive approximation of the President’s mind,” Vought wrote. The OMB, he wrote, “is a President’s air-traffic control system” and should be “involved in all aspects of the White House policy process,” becoming “powerful enough to override implementing agencies’ bureaucracies.” Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, “knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State” — Trump’s catch-all for federal bureaucracy — and would help “restore fiscal sanity.” In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: “We’re not going to save our country without a little confrontation.” Vought could help Musk and Trump remake government’s role and scope The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025’s and Trump’s campaign proposals. Vought’s vision is especially striking when paired with Trump’s proposals to dramatically expand the president’s control over federal workers and government purse strings — ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a “Department of Government Efficiency.” Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers — who have job protection through changes in administration — as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government’s roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump’s changes. Trump can now reinstate them. Meanwhile, Musk’s and Ramaswamy’s sweeping “efficiency” mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president — not Congress — is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his “Agenda 47,” Trump endorsed so-called “impoundment,” which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, “The President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.” Trump’s choice immediately sparked backlash. “Russ Vought is a far-right ideologue who has tried to break the law to give President Trump unilateral authority he does not possess to override the spending decisions of Congress (and) who has and will again fight to give Trump the ability to summarily fire tens of thousands of civil servants,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat and outgoing Senate Appropriations chairwoman. Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, leading Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Vought wants to “dismantle the expert federal workforce” to the detriment of Americans who depend on everything from veterans’ health care to Social Security benefits. “Pain itself is the agenda,” they said. Homan and Miller reflect Trump’s and Project 2025’s immigration overl ap Trump’s protests about Project 2025 always glossed over overlaps in the two agendas. Both want to reimpose Trump-era immigration limits. Project 2025 includes a litany of detailed proposals for various U.S. immigration statutes, executive branch rules and agreements with other countries — reducing the number of refugees, work visa recipients and asylum seekers, for example. Miller is one of Trump’s longest-serving advisers and architect of his immigration ideas, including his promise of the largest deportation force in U.S. history. As deputy policy chief, which is not subject to Senate confirmation, Miller would remain in Trump’s West Wing inner circle. “America is for Americans and Americans only,” Miller said at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Oct. 27. “America First Legal,” Miller’s organization founded as an ideological counter to the American Civil Liberties Union, was listed as an advisory group to Project 2025 until Miller asked that the name be removed because of negative attention. Homan, a Project 2025 named contributor, was an acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during Trump’s first presidency, playing a key role in what became known as Trump’s “family separation policy.” Previewing Trump 2.0 earlier this year, Homan said: “No one’s off the table. If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.” Project 2025 contributors slated for CIA and Federal Communications chiefs John Ratcliffe, Trump’s pick to lead the CIA, was previously one of Trump’s directors of national intelligence. He is a Project 2025 contributor. The document’s chapter on U.S. intelligence was written by Dustin Carmack, Ratcliffe’s chief of staff in the first Trump administration. Reflecting Ratcliffe’s and Trump’s approach, Carmack declared the intelligence establishment too cautious. Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China. Throughout the Project 2025 document, Beijing is framed as a U.S. adversary that cannot be trusted. Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Project 2025’s FCC chapter and is now Trump’s pick to chair the panel. Carr wrote that the FCC chairman “is empowered with significant authority that is not shared” with other FCC members. He called for the FCC to address “threats to individual liberty posed by corporations that are abusing dominant positions in the market,” specifically “Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square.” He called for more stringent transparency rules for social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and “empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any.” Carr and Ratcliffe would require Senate confirmation for their posts. ___ Advertisement Advertisement

Former New Zealand prime minister John Key has three white rabbits painted on his helicopter, a nod to his "massively superstitious" habit of repeating "white rabbits" three times at the start of every month. Tennis champion Rafael Nadal performs the same sequence of actions (shirt-tug, hair-tuck, face-wipe) before every serve. Taylor Swift paints '13' on her hand for good luck before a show, while Rihanna won't allow anything yellow in her dressing room. Perhaps you, too, are superstitious. Maybe you have a lucky number, avoid black cats, or shudder at the thought of opening an umbrella indoors. Even if you don't consider yourself superstitious, little things like saying "bless you" after a sneeze, knocking on wood or crossing your fingers are all examples of behaviours with superstitious origins. We humans are particularly susceptible to superstitions. But why are we so quick to develop superstitious behaviours, and do we really believe they can bring good or bad luck? In our new research , we set out to answer this question. We tested whether people could tell the difference between outcomes they caused and outcomes they didn't cause, and this told us something about the cognitive roots of human superstition. Learning about cause and effect From as early as four months, infants learn their actions produce outcomes - kicking their legs shakes the crib, shaking a rattle makes an interesting noise, dropping a toy on the floor means mum or dad picks it up. As we grow older, we develop a more sophisticated understanding of cause-and-effect relationships, asking "why?" questions about the world around us. This sensitivity to causes and effects sets the stage for important developmental milestones, like imaginative play, planning actions to achieve a goal, predicting others' intentions, anticipating and regulating emotions, and cooperating with others. The ability to learn about relationships between causes and effects is a defining feature of human cognition. But how does this square with our superstitious tendencies? When cause and effect is an illusion We learn about causes and effects from experience. When our behaviour is followed by an outcome, we learn about the relationship between our action and that outcome. The more often this action-outcome pairing occurs, the stronger the perceived link between them. This is why we repeat behaviours that produce rewarding outcomes, and avoid repeating behaviours that produce punishing ones. But what happens if an outcome follows our actions by coincidence? If I wear my lucky socks and my favourite sports team wins, this is probably just a coincidence (it's unlikely my sock-wearing actually caused the win). But if this happens a few times, I may develop a superstition about my lucky socks. This suggests superstitious behaviour arises because we aren't particularly good at discerning when our actions cause an outcome, versus when our actions just coincide with (but do not cause) an outcome. This is a common explanation for superstition - but does it have any weight? Testing our ability to detect causality We can test what underpins superstitious behaviour by simply asking people "who caused that outcome?". Getting it right would suggest we can discern action-outcome relationships (and therefore that there must be some other explanation for superstitious behaviour). Our research did exactly that. We asked whether people could tell when their actions did or didn't cause an outcome. We recruited 371 undergraduate students from a large New Zealand university, who participated in one experimental session for a course credit. Participants played a game where a positive outcome (winning) or a negative outcome (losing) occurred either after their own action (clicking a button), or independently of their action. Importantly, participants weren't given any information beforehand about the type of outcome or whether it would depend on their behaviour. This meant they had to rely on what they actually experienced during the game, and we could test their ability to judge whether they had caused the outcome. This also meant participants' preexisting superstitions and other characteristics (such as age) didn't affect our results. Their behaviour during the task was representative of human behaviour more generally. Participants' scores indicated they often got it right: in about 80% of trials, they knew when they'd caused the outcome, and when they hadn't. A built-in bias The distinction between causing and not causing the outcomes was sometimes very subtle. This made it more difficult for participants to tell what had occurred. When they weren't sure, participants defaulted to saying "I caused it", even if they actually hadn't. They were biased to attribute outcomes to their own actions, particularly after winning outcomes. This bias may be the key to explaining why we're superstitious: something I did caused something to happen, even if I can't be sure what it was. And it suggests knowing superstitions aren't real may not actually stop us from behaving superstitiously. On the surface, this may not make sense - why expend energy doing things we know don't affect outcomes? But if we look deeper, this bias serves an important purpose, because it helps ensure we don't miss any potential connections between our actions and their outcomes. In other words, it's better to be safe than sorry. Research shows that engaging in superstitious behaviour can also increase confidence in our abilities to achieve a goal, improve performance in different tasks, and alleviate anxiety by giving us a sense of control. The tendency to attribute positive outcomes to our actions (as we found) can boost self-esteem and psychological wellbeing. So, perhaps we'd all benefit by indulging in a little superstitious behaviour.

What you need to know about volunteering after retirementEXCLUSIVE TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie reveals suicidal depression as second wife Molly Holm files for divorce 18 months after lavish wedding By JOSH BOSWELL FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:26, 6 December 2024 | Updated: 22:29, 6 December 2024 e-mail View comments Multi-millionaire TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie split from his second wife Molly Holm just 18 months after their lavish 'love festival' wedding after confessing he had contemplated suicide, DailyMail.com can reveal. Molly, 33, filed in a Marin County, California , court to divorce the unlucky-in-love businessman on October 21, just weeks after categorically denying rumors of their broken marriage. The filing came a week after Mycoskie revealed on his friend’s podcast that he had been battling severe depression for the past year and even considered killing himself at his darkest moments. Blake, 48, who is worth an estimated $400 million, has two children with his first wife Heather Lang and was helping raise Molly's six-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, Ella. DailyMail.com spoke to two sources close to the couple who said they split this summer, though Molly rubbished the claims when contacted in August, saying that they were 'on a beautiful journey together,' 'love each other a lot,' and 'we're great'. They marked their one-year anniversary in June, celebrating 12 months since their lavish Utah desert wedding at a $3,700-per-night hotel, with guests flown in by private jet. It was a spectacular and theatrical ceremony, with Blake and Molly arriving at the festivities on the backs of camels and later partying in a 70s psychedelic-themed disco. But by the time summer 2024 came around, rumor was spreading through the couple's friends that the relationship was getting rocky. Blake Mycoskie and Molly Holm announced their engagement in 2021 but broke things off temporarily just months after moving to Costa Rica together DailyMail.com can now reveal former model Holm, 33, has filed for divorce 18 months after the couple tied the knot at the luxurious Amangiri Hotel in Canyon Point, Utah Molly declined to comment when asked about the divorce. Brad did not immediately respond to approaches from DailyMail.com. Just a week before Molly filed divorce papers, Blake spoke out on his college buddy Tyler Ramsey’s podcast revealing he had been in a deep depression and even contemplated suicide. Blake said that in June he was ‘at the lowest possible point I’ve ever been in my life’, and had been ‘struggling with a pretty serious depression for over a year’. ‘Last April I was at the end of my rope. I didn’t really know what to do. I felt totally trapped,’ he said on the Painful Lessons Podcast on October 16. ‘I didn’t feel there was anything to look forward to in life. I was really consumed with these horrible dark thoughts. It was really scary.’ He said a psychiatrist ‘misdiagnosed’ him with bipolar type two, and put him on antipsychotic, mood stabilizing and antidepressant medications that he believes led him to become suicidal. Blake said he even tried electric shock therapy, but nothing worked. He spent five weeks at the Alternative to Meds Center in Sedona, Arizona weening himself off his medication with the help of another psychiatrist. The entrepreneur posted on Facebook about his struggle, saying that he was ‘not cured’ but improving. Court records show Molly, 33, filed in a Marin County, California court to divorce the unlucky-in-love businessman on October 21, just weeks after categorically denying rumors of their broken marriage Holm, a former model and investment fund manager, looked stunning in a lacy white wedding dress with a long veil and train and a sheer panel on its profile The 'madly in love' couple, pictured during their engagement party in November 2021, became engaged in September 2021 and had plans for Mycoskie to adopt Holm's five-year-old daughter Ella Pictures snapped by guests and posted on Instagram show an open-air dinner overlooking the desert sunset near the border with Arizona during the June 2023 wedding ceremony ‘Today, I feel like myself again and am committed to continuing my healing journey and rebuilding my life. While I'm not "cured," I'm on a path I believe will lead to lasting wellness,’ he wrote. One person close to the Mycoskies told DailyMail.com that their children were informed of Blake and Molly separating in early August. Read More EXCLUSIVE: Even the dog wore a bow tie! TOMS shoes founder Blake Mycoskie marries Molly Holm in lavish three-day 'love festival' wedding at luxury Amangiri Resort in Utah where bride and groom arrived on camelback - after temporarily splitting last year At the time, Molly protested that Blake was just away on a trip hiking the Grand Canyon. 'The kids were told something different, but it had nothing to do with that,' she told DailyMail.com. 'No papers are being filed and we aren't splitting up. There's people that we think are our friends, that are spreading rumors unfortunately. 'We love each other a lot. We've been on a beautiful journey together, and we're continuing that journey and we have a beautiful family.' They had been living in Costa Rica, but later moved to Marin County, California, near Molly's family. 'It's definitely not Costa Rica, but it's very beautiful,' she said of their new home that summer. 'We're near my family, and that's nice. I grew up here. We're great, we're living life. We're in Marin, and it's really hot.' Either way, by October, their feelings had cooled and their irreconcilable differences had got the better of them, with Molly filing court papers in Marin County. Their divorce may lead to a tricky financial unpicking, as Blake's $10million Marin mansion was moved from his trust to being held solely in Molly's name in January last year, according to property records. The serial entrepreneur and philanthropist founded Shoes for Better Tomorrows, now just TOMS, in 2006 after a trip to Argentina where he saw kids with no shoes and decided to donate a pair for each one sold. By 2019 the firm had donated 95 million pairs of shoes. It was valued at $625million in 2014 when Mycoskie sold 50 per cent to Bain capital. In 2019 he split with Heather, his then-wife and mother of his son Summit and daughter Charlie. Within a year he was looking for love again, even taking part in TCM reality show The Sexiest Bachelor in America. Life coach China Jones posted pictures from the event on Instagram and gushed over the 'incredible' three-day celebration, with the main ceremony being held on a big rock mesa under the cliffs in open air The luxury resort and venue boasts stunning views at sunset and sunrise over the canyon cliffs The lavish celebration were held at Amangiri Hotel in Canyon Point – a favorite among A-list celebrities and where rooms start at around $3,700 per night But he found his next partner off-screen when he started dating Molly that year. The two got engaged in September 2021. DailyMail.com previously reported an alleged hiccup in their relationship in May 2022 when friends said Blake and Molly temporarily split after realizing they became so 'wrapped up in each other' in a whirlwind romance that they needed to step back 'to concentrate on their kids'. Blake sold his Jackson, Wyoming, mansion for $65million, they moved to Costa Rica, and allegedly even planned for him to adopt her daughter Ella. But friends said they soon found their adventure-filled life left too little time for their combined three children. 'They told me, "we're good friends, and we just want to concentrate on our kids, because we got so wrapped up in each other",' one confidant told DailyMail.com anonymously. 'They were madly in love. And I think they just excluded their kids. 'He was going to adopt Ella. That probably both got them thinking about the reality of things. Like is she going to adopt his kids? Things just got weird. 'I think they didn't have enough time at the end of the day for their children. And they realized, we need to put the brakes on things and be great friends and parent our kids right now,' the friend added. Speaking to DailyMail.com this summer, Molly said they put their kids first throughout the relationship. At their June 2023 wedding they were the picture of a loving couple, surrounded by adoring guests. Mycoskie and Holm, who began dating in 2020, often shared photos of their family adventures on social media Mycoskie had sold his Jackson, Wyoming mansion for $65million to moved to Costa Rica with his then fiancée, and had reportedly even planned to adopt Molly's daughter Ella The desert nuptials were kicked off with the couple arriving on the backs of two camels, their two girls wearing frilly baby blue dresses and starry crowns and Holm in a black jumpsuit embroidered with moons and stars; their friends and family gathered to greet them. Pictures snapped by guests and posted on Instagram show a four-tiered chocolate wedding cake and an open-air dinner overlooking the desert sunset near the border with Arizona. Holm, who says she worked as an Investment Fund Manager at Highbridge Equity Partners and studied at UC Berkeley, wore a lacy white wedding dress with a long veil and train and a sheer panel on its profile. She wore light jewelry of two bracelets and moon-and-stars earrings. Blake wore a black tuxedo with a desert plant boutonniere. The newlyweds posed for photos by canyon cliffs with their dog. An insider told DailyMail.com that guests were flown in by private jet then bused to the location in 4x4s due to the rough desert terrain. 'The day they arrived there was a western saloon theme,' the source said. 'A lot of guests went horse riding over the desert. Then there was another event with a Moroccan bazaar theme. 'Molly and Blake arrived for the whole event on camelback – as you do. Mycoskie has two children from his previous marriage to Heather Lang. They are pictured together at a TOMS for Target launch event in 2014 'The wedding itself was held on a big rock mesa under the cliffs in the open air. 'Then there was a 70s-themed disco, complete with an illuminated dance floor. Everyone had psychedelic attire and it went late into the night.' The same month, Mycoskie had pledged $100million, a quarter of his net worth, to psychedelic therapies for treating mental health conditions. The entrepreneur said he hoped his donation would inspire others to invest in psilocybin, MDMA and other mind-altering drugs with potential mental health benefits. Life coach China Jones posted pictures from the event and gushed with praise for her friends. 'Coming down off the most unforgettable wedding weekend love festival that will forever be a favorite memory,' she wrote. 'Set in the breathtaking Utah canyons, it was nothing short of incredible. From the western saloon, Moroccan bazar, remote & stunning ceremony location, art car crawl and disco after party... not one detail was overlooked. 'The vision, creativity, and attention to detail was only matched by the caliber of people in attendance. I had so much fun meeting new friends and reconnecting with my lifelong crew of [mermaid emojis].' But now, just 18 months later, the fairytale has ended.

The former Coronation Street star had two stints on the show, finishing seventh in 2012 before taking part in a special South Africa all-stars spin-off 11 years later. Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs, is the latest in a series of Corrie actors and actresses to appear on the ITV show, and Helen is backing her former co-star to thrive. “Alan is someone I've known since I was really little, and will be great in the jungle,” she said in an interview associated with WhichBingo . “When you're in Coronation Street; there’s such a social aspect of being part of the show and you meet people from all walks of life. Helen when she starred in I'm a Celebrity... South Africa (Image: ITV) “You hang around for such a long time with people of different ages and different backgrounds, so it really puts you in good stead for appearing on a show like I’m A Celeb. “I definitely think it’s done that for me in my life. So, Alan will be great socially, and he's got a lot about him as a person too. “He knows it's hard. He will definitely be able to do the trials and is a very grounded person as well. He'll be a team player and will smash it.” Flanagan will also be keeping a close eye on Tulisa Contostavlos, revealing her affection for the N-Dubz singer. Alan Halsall in I'm a Celeb (Image: ITV) She said: “I love Tulisa. I have seen lots of her social media stuff; I know her, and she's a really lovely girl. “I think she will do fab in it and is genuinely a nice person as well.” Appearing on I’m A Celeb can be a punishing ordeal, and the 34-year-old admits to being “absolutely horrendous” on the first show. However, we saw a completely different version of the former Corrie star in South Africa, showing her resilience to take on the famous Bushtucker Trials in a much calmer and controlled manner compared to 11 years previously. “I really love the jungle now,” she continued. “I remember when I first did it at 22, and I was absolutely horrendous. I'd get memes sent through by all my family and friends of some embarrassing pictures of me. “But I then went back to do the South Africa show almost two years ago, and I smashed the trials. I felt like I had made my peace with it.” Tulisa in I'm a Celebrity (Image: ITV) Helen’s most recent reality TV experience came on Channel 4’s dating show Celebs Go Dating where she caused a stir by revealing she already had a boyfriend whilst appearing on the programme. He was confirmed to be Robbie Talbot from Liverpool – who she brought onto the show - and the reality TV star has warmly reflected on her experiences. She said: “I loved it and have some great memories of the show, as I was myself. When you do reality shows, you have to be yourself. “I think it can be a little bit difficult as well, because it's so different doing reality TV shows compared to acting. Helen when she appeared on Celebs Go Dating (Image: Channel 4/E4) “You're hiding behind a character as an actress. Whereas, when you do reality TV, you are being yourself. So sometimes, it can be challenging because you're putting yourself out there for the public to comment on you as a person. “But I genuinely loved it and it was nice to bring my boyfriend on the show. One of the reasons why I wanted to do that, was to show that it's a healthy relationship. “I've previously sat watching Celebs Go Dating the year before as a single mum with three children and I thought to myself, 'Am I going to have a healthy relationship?'.

But I have to work things around my children as well,” she explained. “I love working on social media too and have been working on it properly for about seven years now. It's something that I do really enjoy, and it’s empowering to have your own voice. “You have your own kind of sense of control when you have your social media, but I sometimes have a love-hate relationship with it. “Sometimes I feel it's not good for us to constantly be on our phones all the time and I worry for the younger generation in the sense that social media makes us constantly compare ourselves to others. “It can be bad for your mental health . I hope that this will improve for both children and adults in the future.”
