After falling in love with your other half, the traditional next stages in the relationship include marriage and children.

And while Countryfile host Ellie Harrison and her partner Matt Goodman share three children, they’ve decided not to go down the aisle together. Yet it seems Ellie’s found her own way to prove her commitment to her man – as she’s revealed that she got ten scars cut into her arm, one for each year they’d been together at the time. Ouch!

Ellie and doctor partner Matt have been together for 12 years, and share three young children. And in celebration of their 10 years together two years ago, she decided to get a line of circular scars cut into her arm to commemorate their anniversary.

‘It’s called scarification,’ she explained. ‘You go to someone who is into body art and you get it done. There are only a few places you can go for it in the whole country. They’re done with a blade.’

Sounds pretty excruciating!

‘I presented my arm to him in this kind of clingfilm wrap,’ she continued her painful account to Mail on Sunday. ‘You have to scrub [the cuts] out and put Vaseline on, then clingfilm to keep the wounds open and clean.’

Luckily, it seemed as if her actions weren’t in vain – as her partner had an ’emotional’ reaction when she showed him.

‘He was a bit shocked, I must say. He said he was conflicted, because I’d hurt myself in this pursuit, but he was obviously really quite emotional.’

She added: ‘We’re not married, but this was my great offering to him. Obviously if he leaves me I’ll have to create a different story about what it’s about!’

When asked why they didn’t get married to show their devotion, Ellie, 39, stated that it was a plan for the future:

‘He did ask me but I didn’t see it through. So far. I will do one day. We just haven’t done that bit. We’ve done the big stuff, the children, and the scars!..

‘He’s the most handsome man on Earth. He’s my beloved and I hope we die together. Not yet. But that’s my wish – that we end up dying together.’

Love comes in many forms, eh?

Sweet revenge

What was it about 90s 
telly and gunge? If you were an adult on TV, you could barely move without getting covered in the slimy stuff – and slime master general was surely Dave Benson Phillips, presenter 
of children’s game show 
Get Your Own Back. It gave kids the chance to gunge their parents or teachers for the most trivial of reasons, like 
not letting them eat sweets after dinner. But what happened to telly favourite Dave and what’s he up to now?

Doing it for the kids

Dave got into entertainment when he worked at the Polka Theatre for children in Wimbledon, south London, as an usher. He had a talent for entertaining the kids, and after stints busking and working at children’s parties, he became 
a Bluecoat at Pontins. He was eventually scouted by a talent agent and got a job on BBC children’s show Playdays, which ran for nine years.

Time for gunge

In 1991 Dave got the gig on 
Get Your Own Back, which was nominated for a BAFTA. Any kid worth their salt wanted to gunge their mum, uncle or evil PE teacher, but it was only the very lucky few who made it onto the show. The show ran until 2004 and Dave became a proper TV staple. He reminds us of our childhoods so much.

So what’s he up to these days?

Since the show finished in 2004, Dave’s appeared on Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, Pointless and children’s show Sooty. Now 52, he tells Now that he’s often asked if he’ll bring Get Your Own Back to TV once again, revealing: ‘A Get Your Own Back reboot is never far from my thoughts. A lot of people still have great affection for the show and the love still humbles me even when we 
do live shows at universities, festivals and, last year, the Edinburgh Festival. It was my second time there with the show.’ Dave also tells us he’s producing two stage shows 
and has even written his own online sitcom. We hope he’s back on our screens ASAP!

If you’re a celeb then you’re likely to have the flashiest of everything. From spenny watches to swimming pools, it’s all in a day’s work in the world of the famous.

And when it comes to cars, if you thought your mum’s beaten-up old hatchback was going to cut it then think again – it’s all about the Mercedes and Maserati when it comes to these guys, often in the most ridiculous colours you can imagine. Bright orange ride, anyone? (Yep, read on for more of that).

And obviously, they like to flash their petrol-guzzling wordly goods about on Instagram… because that’s what celebrities like to do these days.

Check out the stars with the snazziest cars below!

As Mel B and Stephen Belafonte‘s bitter divorce battle continues, new reports have emerged that Stephen wrongly accused his wife of having an affair with Simon Cowell on the eve of The X Factor final back in 2014.

According to The Sun on Sunday, Stephen was convinced the pair were having an affair during the 11th series, leading to a rift between the couple which was ultimately one of the key reasons their marriage broke down.

‘Stephen’s jealousy at that point was causing massive problems in the marriage – and he was convinced something was going on between her and Simon,’ a source said.

‘He did not like the fact Mel obviously looked up to him and spoke about him a lot.

‘He thought she was up to all sorts at the time – but accusing her of sleeping with Simon was a real low point.’

And although there is no suggestion that the former Spice Girl and Simon had any romantic connection, the insider claims Stephen’s accusations spiraled out of control, adding: ‘He just couldn’t control his jealousy and anger when she was appearing on such a high-profile show with successful people that he didn’t know.

‘It caused huge arguments and led to a loss of trust that never really healed.

‘It is definitely one of the things that led to the eventual breakdown of their relationship.’

Mel famously pulled out of the first live show of The X Factor final after allegedly having a blazing row with her husband of ten years and ending up in hospital after taking an overdose of pills.

The 41-year-old Wannabe singer was recently granted a temporary restraining order from her ex, as well as primary custody of their five-year-old daughter, Madison following a string of abuse allegations.

In official court documents obtained by MailOnline, Mel has accused her ex of was physically abusing her as well as threatening to release sex tapes so that she ‘would never work again in the entertainment industry’.

Stephen continues to deny the horrifying claims made by his estranged wife and in a statement released by his lawyers, the father-of-two’s legal team have said: ‘When the degree to which Ms Brown has gone to create a false depiction of her marriage to Mr Belafonte is uncovered, real victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse will be understandably offended, angry and upset.

The statement ends: ‘That’s it. I’m shocked at those allegations. We’ll have our day in court.’
