Being kidnapped as a baby was the best thing that ever happened to me.

For Dawn Griffiths, it was a moment she had dreaded and dreamed of in equal measure: the day her beloved teenage daughter would leave home, and her mother's watchful care, to set off alone into the world.

Earlier this week, she waved off her 18-year-old daughter Alex from Middlesbrough train station on the first leg of a trip to the Italian Riviera. To her surprise, she was able to hold back her tears.

While thousands of such scenes are played out across the country every summer, for years Dawn felt it was something she could not contemplate.

The condition means the 19-year-old still has trouble tying his shoelaces.

Daniel admitted he was a sufferer in an interview to mark his Broadway debut in the play Equus – and he jokingly added: ‘I sometimes think, “Why, oh why, has Velcro not taken off?’ ...

Cheryl's the hot new judge. Dannii's feeling left out. But Louis Walsh says he's keeping shtum - honest!

Louis Walsh says he is doing his very best not to be bitchy. After last year’s X Factor, when his fellow judge and friend Sharon Osbourne went to very public war with new girl Dannii Minogue, the Irish pop manager claims he is biting his tongue, saying: ‘I’m going to be nice this year. I’m not going to get into trouble with anybody.’

But X Factor kicks off once again tomorrow night and Louis, known for being mischievous, just can’t help himself.

He doesn’t explicitly criticise Dannii, but makes his feelings obvious. Although he refuses to confirm there is tension between the Australian singer and new judge Cheryl Cole, he hints there is.

If it wasn't for me, he'd look like the back of a bus, says Mrs Windass.

The question was not supposed to cause a domestic, even if I had just asked a Barclays Premier League footballer if his slightly built, infinitely better-looking wife is, in fact, faster than him.

‘Are you ****,’ declares Dean Windass before admitting that, yes, when Helen Windass was a top-class 400 metres runner she did leave him for dead.

Helen was good. She competed in the trials for the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 and Dean would train with her during the summer in an effort to return for pre-season fitter than his team-mates. ‘I’d join her for sessions of 150s and 200s and she’d have me throwing up on the track by the end,’ he recalled.

This week it was revealed that a number of rape victims have had their payouts cut by the Criminal Injury Compensation Authority after being told their drinking was a 'contributing factor' to the attacks. Inevitably, the story has provoked fierce debate.
Can a woman really take any of the blame if she is drunk when she is assaulted? Here, Caroline Hedges, 29, a PR account director from Clapham, South London, who was raped while drunk on holiday in Corfu ten years ago, tells her story.

As Calendar Girls is turned into a play, the stars reveal: 'Why we're proud to parade our wobbly bits'.

The thought of posing naked for a photo is a nightmare for most women. But when the ladies of the Rylstone and District WI dared to bare for their famous charity calendar, they raised a fortune, as well as a few eyebrows, and inspired a Hollywood hit. Now their story has been turned into a play, and six of Britain's best-loved actresses will be stripping for live theatre audiences across the country. So how do they feel about baring all? And what do they think of their own bodies

The innocent victim, 12, of an internet paedophile describes: 'The abduction that RUINED my life'.

All 17-year-old Shevaun Pennington has to do is close her eyes and she is 12 again, but for her there are none of the carefree summer memories a girl of her age might expect to treasure.

Four days, in particular, haunt her still. Four days in July 2003 during which Shevaun sparked an international police hunt and became Britain's most famous missing child, after being abducted by a 31-year-old American paedophile who'd spent a year grooming her over the internet....
