THE DIARY

Corrie’s Lisa George admits she “struggled” with menopausal hot flushes in Dancing on Ice but proudly states: “I’m waving the flag for women of my age.”

The 47-year-old says: “I’ve struggled with the biological things a woman goes through at my age. My cycle has been so erratic, it’s been a mess. The hormones, hot flushes.”

Lisa, who was eliminated over the weekend, says she competed against people in their 20s and early 30s – “so there’s a massive difference and my body [took] longer to recover”.

Lisa had a hot flush in the live opening show. “I was dripping in sweat,” she says. “I was burning up.”

Thank goodness for all that ice...

Jon Bon Jovi, ahead of his side’s win over Middlesbrough last night.

Patrick gets into his pre-match mindset by listening to the rocker’s anthems, including Livin’ on a Prayer.

“What could be better?” Jon, right, asked on Talksport. But he warned the striker, who failed to net last night: “Patrick, I’m holding your next game cheque. If you score, you get it – you don’t score, I keep it.”

Patrick said his hero was an “absolute legend” for the shout-out.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in Paris,

Naomi Campbell rubbed shoulders with President Macron and his wife Brigitte at Fashion Week, where Naomi reminded everyone: “Don’t forget your masks and wipes.”

On flights, germ-phobe Naomi wears a mask and gloves, and scrubs her seat area with antibacterial wipes.

The 49-year-old model is preparing to take her Fashion For Relief fundraiser over to Qatar next month.
