Wonderful dad
£50 Star letter
I loved your real life feature about Mark Pendred and his little girl Mia (issue 23), who has Down’s syndrome – what a wonderful, caring dad he is. I felt so proud hearing him describe what an amazing little human being she is. I wish them all the best. Mrs J M Buxton, Mansfield
Shock split
I can’t help but be shocked to hear about what’s happened to Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford (issue 24). They always seemed like such a secure couple. Of course, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors, but it’s sad to see it break down so publicly. I hope they manage to stay friends. Louise Lane, Cowes
Talking point
A married man has caused outrage online by revealing shared ‘naughty texts’ with a female colleague and admitting they have ‘virtual sex’. So, we ask, does a virtual affair count as cheating?
I would not be happy at all if I found out my husband was doing such a thing. I feel it would be the first stage before doing it in real life.

I agree with the view that bonds formed online are not always real. It’s just a little flirtation. It makes the world go round! Anon, via email
I can imagine older people might be upset by this, but young people are much calmer.
It’s really not that big of a deal.

Honestly, if it feels like cheating, you’re lying about it, and someone else is involved… sounds like cheating to me! Adrienne K, via Facebook
THIS WEEK Bella LOVES... Chapel Down
Summer may be a bit of a damp squib so far, but we can at least celebrate lighter evenings and getting out and about – and Chapel Down sparkling wine is the perfect accompaniment. An English special, grown in Kent, it’s crisp, gorgeous, and feels like summer, even if it’s not outside!
Priced at £30 a bottle, and available at most major supermarkets nationwide, it’s not the cheapest, but it feels like a real treat. We recommend!
