DAD HUNT BODY FIND

Family of missing Jackson, 31, notified after discovery at weekend

- BY KATHLEEN SPEIRS

A BODY has been found in the search for a missing dad.

Jackson Mason was reported missing in December, sparking a huge police search.

The 31-year-old was last seen on Saturday, December 19, near the Fenwick Hotel in Ayrshire, close to the M77. Police have revealed that the body of a man was found at West Tannacrief­f near Fenwick on Sunday.

Formal identifica­tion is yet to take place but Jackson’s family have been informed. A police spokesman said: “The death is being treated as unexplaine­d and inquiries are ongoing.”

In January, Jackson’s mum Angela Smith and sisters Caitlin Hamilton and Shari Parris made an appeal for informatio­n on his whereabout­s.

In a statement issued through Police Scotland, Angela urged her son to get in contact if he could.

She said: “This has been the worst 28 days of my life.

“So if you’re reading this, please go to the nearest hospital, police station or chap someone’s door and they’ll guide you back in the right direction to come home to us.” His sisters said: “It’s coming up to a month since our brother went missing. We can’t believe we have not heard from him since he went missing.

“We are completely heartbroke­n and devastated.

“We’re such a close family and always keep in contact with each other.”

JENNIFER Lopez shows off her incredible figure in a skimpy white bodysuit. The 51-year-old singer and actress revealed her toned legs and taut tummy in a stunning mirror selfie. The pic, which she captioned “#SelfcareSu­nday”, left her 45million followers on Twitter flabbergas­ted.

In response to the woman asking if she should give a man who’s already demonstrat­ed he can’t be trusted a second chance – absolutely not! (Dear Coleen, February 12).

He lied to you about having a wife and cheated on her with you, and you should not be OK with that. Giving him another chance demonstrat­es that you are OK with infidelity and, the chances are, he’ll cheat on you once he’s comfortabl­e with you. Rosemary, via email

Dear Coleen

MY sex life has deteriorat­ed over the lockdowns and I don’t know what to do about it. Basically, we usually only have sex when my boyfriend is quite drunk, so it’s over quickly, leaving me unfulfille­d and frustrated.

We’ve both been drinking more over lockdown – most nights in fact, in front of the telly to give us something to look forward to. I guess it’s become a habit.

Previously, our sex life was good, so I know we can get it back, but how do I tackle it with him? I cringe every time I think about mentioning it. We’ve been together for three years.

Coleen says

WHY do you cringe when you think of mentioning it? It’s better to have the conversati­on now than let it go on and become more frustrated and dissatisfi­ed.

The way to approach it could be to ask him first how he feels about your sex life. And when he asks you how you feel, speak up and explain your worries.

There have been lots of different challenges for relationsh­ips recently that might not have emerged if we hadn’t been in lockdown. I think it’s about trying to break the habits that you’ve slipped into – like drinking every night, which is now affecting your sex life and your relationsh­ip. It should not be the case that you only have sex when you are drunk or find each other attractive when you’re drunk.

If you can open the conversati­on it might lead to ideas about how to make it better or more exciting. But tackle it together, though.
