Welcome... • Real life stories can make us gasp, laugh and tug at the heartstrings – and we love them. So this week, we've packed in a bumper Real Life Special with unforgettable tales. On page 30, one woman reveals how she bought an escort for her 70th birthday and enjoyed a night of passion – complete with two orgasms! Then, on page 34, there's a woman who lost a whopping 7st on fat jabs to stop her man straying. Drastic, indeed! On the serious side, our Content Editor, Amy, spoke exclusively to Prime Minister Andy Burnham about new pregnancy-loss rights. It's such an important issue – and proof that our stories can help spark real change. Meanwhile, Coleen and Wayne Rooney have launched The Real Rooneys, and I went along for the goss (page 8). I've known Coleen for two decades, since she was one of Closer's first columnists, and we'd giggle about her WAG adventures. Now she's the star of the show and I couldn't be happier for her. After all these years, she's still the Coleen we've always loved.
