RAIL minister Peter Hendy is facing a private prosecution for texting while driving a busload of sightseers.

Police dropped the case against Lord Hendy citing “insufficient evidence” — despite him apologising.

But passenger John Sarson, 68, who made the initial complaint to cops, has applied to prosecute.

The businessman said he saw Lord Hendy texting at the wheel of a vintage double-decker bus near Westminster Bridge in central London on March 28.

In April, a spokesman for the 72-year-old peer said: “Last month Peter Hendy used his phone while driving. He has apologised in full for this error of judgment and has contacted the police.”

A source said: “John is baffled over how someone can admit to police he committed an offence but not face prosecution.”

The Met Police initially said in April the case had been closed because of a lack of evidence.

But Lord Hendy then reported himself to the Met which reopened the case before closing it again last month.

John is waiting to hear from the City of London magistrates’ court if his legal bid is successful.

Lord Hendy was approached for comment.

MUSIC star Sam Fender is hoping to toast his global success with his own range of booze.

And he’s also eying plans to knock out Fender-branded chocolates, plus clothes, temporary tattoos and jewellery.

The Geordie star has been granted permission by the UK’s Intellectual Property Office to use his name to sell a range of goods.

Papers reveal he can now sell alcohol and soft drinks using his name.

The documents reveal he can market “Beers, Alcoholic beverages, and Non-alcoholic beverages; Retail services connected to the sale of Beers, Alcoholic beverages, Non-alcoholic beverages, Mineral and aerated waters, Fruit beverages and fruit juices.”

The application will stay in place for ten years now that it has been rubber-stamped.

An intellectual property lawyer who has seen the papers told us: “The trademark enhances his capacity to take action against unauthorised third parties that might use his name for commercial purposes.

“Simply having these trademarks registered can serve as a significant deterrent to any third party contemplating the unauthorized use of the name.

“Moreover, it enhances his prospects for commercialising his brand.

“Being a major star, he is likely to seek opportunities to license these trademarks to partners, generating revenue through royalties in the process.”

GLASTONBURY kicks off on Wednesday, meaning festival season is now in full swing.

That’s great if you like music, partying and booze, but not so brilliant if you are trying to keep on top of your health as food and drinks at venues come with high prices and low nutrients. 

One of the best things you can do is take some healthy portable snacks.

Today, I’ve put some to the test . . . 

Turkey bar

ROAM free-range turkey bar is just that – a meat bar with a 12-month shelf life that you don’t need to put in the fridge.

Perfect for festivals.  

This is 91 per cent turkey meat, with some whey protein concentrate to boost the protein levels and some salt, sugar, flavourings, mustard, yeast extract and herbs.

It is just 95 calories per 45g bar, with 16.7g of protein.

This is a great idea – think of a Peperami type snack without all the additives and made with just natural ingredients.

From £2 a bar.

Seaweed crisps

EMILY sriracha seaweed crisps are made out of just that – seaweed – which is a “superfood” as it is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.  

It contains iodine, which is great for thyroid function.

Obviously, you’re better off with fresh seaweed as these also contain tapioca, corn oil, rice powder, sugar, salt and dried molasses.  

They look like a very thin prawn cracker with seaweed inside.

They’re spicy, crunchy – but oddly soft at the same time.

However, you get used to this.

These are moreish.  

They have a bit of an odd smell, but that would probably go unnoticed at a festival.

These are 5 per cent fibre but 36 per cent fat and 98 calories for an 18g bag.  

They are on offer at Ocado for 80p.

Corn nibbles

Indulge

Indulge crunchy corn nibbles were originally served as in-flight snacks[/caption]

INDULGE crunchy corn nibbles were originally served as in-flight snacks so they are packed with flavour because, when we’re flying, the reduced moisture and lower air pressure diminish our sense of taste.    

I tried the Tex Mex cheese, which is made from corn, sunflower oil, salt, cheese flavouring, maltodextrin starch from potatoes, colouring from red pepper and an antioxidant.  

These are five per cent fat and five per cent fibre.

Only 99 calories per 20g bag.

They are crunchy and cheesy, but there is a lot of powder on them, so wet wipes at the ready.

The little bags are a bit fiddly too.

Don’t try if you don’t love corn, as you can certainly taste that, but a healthy on-the-go snack if you do.

They are £7.99 for a multipack of eight at amazon.co.uk.

A reader who has metal hip replacements is worried an MRI might have affected it[/caption]

Q) I HAVE got metal hip replacements with the oldest from 2003.

Two years ago, I began to experience pain. I finally found a painkiller that helped and have been on it since.

I had X-rays that showed damage and was told to be careful because there was a chance I could suffer a fracture.

I was sent for an MRI and a friend warned that maybe it could aggravate my pain. Since having the scan, my hip is more painful and feels weaker.

Lying still for so long was very uncomfortable, but could the MRI have affected my hip? Can an MRI aggravate the problem it is scanning?

A) AN MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce images.

Modern hip implants are typically made of materials like titanium, cobalt-chromium or stainless steel, which are non-ferromagnetic, meaning they don’t react strongly to magnetic fields.

So having an MRI will not worsen the joint physically, but lying still for 30-45 minutes can aggravate pain.

Patients can feel sore and stiff afterwards, but this should be temporary as the cause is the positioning for the scan rather than the scan itself.

My advice to anyone having an MRI is to always ask the staff to make you as comfortable as possible before going into the scanner.

TIP: While we’re enjoying the hot weather, it can be dangerous for some.

Keep an eye on older relatives and those with long-term health conditions as they can be at higher risk of heat exhaustion, dehydration and heat stroke.

LYING in the arms of the man I’d just had fantastic sex with, I smiled with satisfaction.

Somewhere out there was the next woman he’d sleep with, and she’d never know that, thanks to me, he’d been transformed from a clueless virgin into a skilled lover.

Lorna Roach

But I wasn’t in a relationship with this man – I was his sex therapist and surrogate.

Over three months, we’d progressed from him starting to get comfortable with physical intimacy, such as hand-holding, hugging and stroking, to more sexual touching.

And finally, we’d had sexual intercourse.

I’ve been a sex surrogate for 15 years, and during my career I’ve supported women with a fear of intimacy, helped a Hollywood actor overcome his sex addiction, and guided couples on how to safely have an open relationship.

I don’t keep count of the number of clients I’ve slept with, but it’s between 300 and 400.

Growing up in São Paulo, Brazil, if you’d told me that one day I’d be teaching people how to enjoy sex, I would never have believed it.

As a young woman, I was comfortable with my sexuality, but never questioned what I wanted or needed sexually.

I moved to London for university at 21, then married a few years later and had four children.

Running a successful events company with my husband, I enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle.

But working 18-hour days soon burned me out, and I just wasn’t happy.

When I was 35, I ended my marriage, leaving my husband and the company, while I moved into a one-bedroom council flat with our children.

I went on to qualify as a masseuse, working with athletes and actors.

I enjoyed my job, but wasn’t earning enough to give my children the life I wanted for them.

So, in 2013, I invested £3,000 in a surrogate partner therapy course, after seeing an ad in a local paper.

I thought it sounded like a great opportunity to further my massage skills, but on the first day, I was shocked to learn I’d be expected to have sex with clients.

I thought about quitting, but decided – with trepidation – to continue with the course because I’d paid so much money for it.

I’d studied tantric sex in my spare time, so I was more comfortable with my sexuality than ever, but I didn’t know if I’d actually be able to go through with sleeping with someone.

Three months later, I met my first client, a single man in his 60s who was a virgin.

My initial thought was: “I can’t do this, he’s the same age as my dad!”

But when I asked him why he’d come to the session, his response changed everything.

He explained that his brother had passed away recently, and he realised he didn’t want to die without knowing what love felt like.

Men came to see me to overcome issues including being unable to get an erection, premature ejaculation, fear of intimacy and body dysmorphia

Kaly Miller

It helped me understand that there was a genuine need for sex surrogates and there was nothing sleazy about it.

I spent a month focusing on helping this man feel comfortable with his body, and teaching him how to touch a woman, before we had sex.

It felt so natural, as we’d established a trusting, loving bond and it made me realise how much impact a surrogate can have.

He went on to have a relationship with someone for the first time, and was so grateful.

For the next five years, I worked under supervision – there was always a qualified sex surrogate present at all my client meetings, including during sex, and they would give me feedback and advise me if I was unsure.

Men came to see me to overcome issues including being unable to get an erection, premature ejaculation, fear of intimacy and body dysmorphia.

Women came to overcome trauma after giving birth, learn how to orgasm and to conquer their fear of penetration.

I also treated people who had difficulties after physical and sexual abuse.

THE NAKED ROOM

Eventually, I set up my own clinic, The Naked Room.

My four adult children and parents know and fully support what I do.

They all came to cheer me on when I won Somatic Sexologist of the Year at the Sexual Freedom Awards in 2022.

And though some friends were initially sceptical, they soon came round.

Before accepting clients, I meet them on Zoom so I can find out why they want to see me and also observe their body language, in order to spot unsuitable people who think they can just turn up and have sex with me.

One time, a man was naked. I turned off my camera and told him that’s not what I’m here for.

Then, once they’ve completed a consent form and paperwork, my prices start from £250 for a one-hour in-person session, to £1,250 for a day session of five hours.

If a client is a virgin, the ultimate aim is for us to have sex.

If they’re female, I can pass them on to a trusted male sex surrogate when they’re ready.

Every client has to provide a recent STI test and I always use condoms.

I also work with couples, although I don’t touch them – I coach them on how to touch each other.

I have no intention of stopping anytime soon – I feel privileged to help people overcome their issues

Kaly Miller

I insist on at least three sessions, because this isn’t a quick process, and a maximum of 10 to make sure they don’t form a romantic attachment with me.

Before meeting a client, I prepare by going to the gym or doing yoga, and I meditate on my commute.

Since I turned 50, I’m conscious I need look my best, so I see a dermatologist, and of course I regularly do kegel exercises to keep my pelvic floor muscles tight.

There have been many memorable moments over the years.

When one client saw my vagina – the first he’d ever seen – he was blown away.

“It’s marvellous!” he said. “I love the colour and the texture.” I was thinking: “I’ve had sex for 30 years and not once has a partner admired me the way this guy has.”

Then there was the man with autism, who I helped have sex for the first time. His parents used to bring him to the sessions with me, and were so grateful.

His dad said to me: “Thank you for making him experience life as a man outside of his challenges.”

Those sorts of moments are humbling and make me realise how much I’m helping people.

My job has also helped me realise that sex can be incredibly powerful, rather than shallow or mediocre. I’m currently single, but I’ve had relationships since I became a sex surrogate.

I’ve learned to separate my professional and personal life to avoid falling into “work mode” and educating partners on being the ideal lover.

I’m always transparent with a partner about my work and, so far, they’ve all been open-minded and unfazed by the fact I’ll be sleeping with other men, and that I often get aroused while doing so.

I have no intention of stopping anytime soon – I feel privileged to help people overcome their issues.

Everyone who wants to enjoy great sex should be able to, and I’m happy to play a part in helping them achieve that.

It came after Billi’s ex Andy Carroll was quizzed by cops after a bust-up with Lou Teasdale[/caption]

Billi’s frock had a sexy thigh-high split and she looked stunning while posing with other members of the wedding party and gorgeous bride Georgia.

The pictures of Billi at Georgia and Tommy’s second wedding, which was held in Mallorca, come after her ex Andy Carroll was quizzed by police.

The Sun on Sunday has exclusively revealed how the ex-Premier League footballer was questioned over bust-ups with his girlfriend Lou Teasdale on the Greek party island Mykonos.

Carroll and make-up artist to the stars Lou are said to have rowed at a packed beachside restaurant and then at their hotel.

One worker at the Nikolus Tavern said of the first argument: “We recognised him as the footballer Andy Carroll immediately.

“He seemed very drunk and furious with his partner.

“He was using very bad words. It was improper behaviour. The woman looked very upset.”

Police arrived after the first incident and took the former Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham ace to one side for a chat.

He was later allowed to return to Lou.

But just hours later, police were called again by alarmed staff after reports of damage to the couple’s room at a £500-a-night boutique hotel.

Officers are said to have escorted Carroll to a local station for questioning.

He was not arrested and it is understood no further action was taken.

A joint statement from Carroll and Lou said: “Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion. It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there.

“We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to ‘look after’ us.

“As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.”

The Mykonos hotel and police on the island declined to comment when contacted.

Meanwhile, Billi touched down in Mallorca last week ahead of Georgia and Tommy’s wedding.

The mum-of-three, who also looks after Carroll’s two eldest children from a previous relationship, looked incredible as she showed her ex what he is missing in a bikini.

She has since shared a selection of photos from Georgia and Tommy’s big day. They previously said ‘I do’ in 2023.

Billi gushed: “Congratulations @georgiakousoulou & @iamtommyfordham.

“The best day & night celebrating you both .”

Billi announced her split with Carroll in October last year. He confirmed his romance with Lou just weeks later.

DEAR DEIDRE: BEING desired by men used to make me feel so powerful and good about myself, but recently I’ve been feeling guilty about all the casual sex I’ve been having.

I’m 28 and a single mother to two daughters, aged seven and three. I support us all by myself and we have a nice life.

They are my everything and yet I spend so much money on babysitters so I can go out on casual dates.

I wake up in the morning thinking, “Never again”. Then I’m straight back on the apps, looking for my next hook-up.

Last year I met a man I really hoped would be The One. He seemed kind and caring, and I got to know him slowly before we had sex.

When we finally did, I cried because it was both passionate and loving.

A few months later, my best friend found him on Tinder still.

Relationships have never been easy for me. I get very clingy and emotional — boyfriends don’t stick around long. But I’ve always loved sex, mainly because it makes me feel so good about myself, for a short time at least.

I met my girls’ father when I was only 18 and got pregnant by accident. We tried to make the relationship work but we had nothing in common.

My sex drive was much higher than his and the constant rejection ruined my confidence.

When we split up, I had one-night stands to reassert my independence. I thought it would be a phase but I’m finding it impossible to stop.

I’m constantly looking for sex and I almost don’t care who it’s with. But I’m worried my daughters will grow up to do the same.

DEIDRE SAYS: A craving to be desired is often a sign of low self-esteem, which usually develops at a young age.

You don’t say what growing up was like for you, or how you were treated as a child, but it may be the root cause of your feelings.

It might also explain your attachment style and why you feel so vulnerable in relationships.

The good news is, being a loving mother will help your own daughters grow up with a more secure foundation. You’re not failing your daughters. You are raising both of them by yourself, which is no easy task.

Build up your self-confidence to help break the habit of seeking meaningless sex.

I’m sending you my support packs on Raising Self-esteem and Finding The Right Partner For You.

I know you’re wary, believing you’ll never find love. That’s understandable after all you’ve been through.

But you still have plenty of time to find the right person.

MY DOUBTS OVER GIRL’S PARENTAGE

I HAVE doubts over who is the father of my granddaughter.

My daughter is 28 and I’m her father. She’d been dating her current partner – a lovely lad, a builder, aged 30 – for only a couple of months when she got pregnant last year.

It was a shock to both of them, but he stepped up. They all live together now and seem very happy.

But the baby looks nothing like him. And I mean nothing. She has bright ginger hair, blue eyes and very pale skin.

My daughter’s boyfriend has black hair, green eyes and sallow skin.

But you know who does have ginger hair? My daughter’s old next-door neighbour.

I never liked him. He’s much older than my daughter and seemed to live a sketchy life, full of “deals” and far-fetched stories.

My daughter liked him, though, and they often met for coffee or went shopping. He has money – I don’t know where from – and was always helping her out financially.

He’s the spitting image of my granddaughter and I can’t help but assume he’s the father.

I daren’t say anything in case I spark a family rift, but I think my daughter’s partner deserves the truth.

He’s working all hours to support them, while the neighbour swans around like nothing’s happened.

I asked my daughter if she’d ever had a fling with her old neighbour and she looked at me in horror.

She swore on her daughter’s life that nothing had ever happened. But I don’t know.

DEIDRE SAYS: Ginger hair might seem like a paternal smoking gun, but genes are unpredictable.

Each child gets half their genes from each parent, and the final combination can be unexpected. It’s not unusual for parents to have a child who looks nothing like either of them.

Appearances can change over time, too. Your daughter’s partner might seem darker-skinned, but his outdoorsy job could just have tanned him.

And babies’ eyes often look blue when they’re born, but can change during the first year.

It wouldn’t be wise to go storming in and would probably damage your relationship with your daughter.

You’re right in thinking you might spark a family feud if you voice your doubts again.

You risk setting the couple against each other too, at a time when they need to be united for your granddaughter’s sake.

Your role is to support your family, not create conflict.

DUMPING HIM OVER SEX

I’M so sick of my boyfriend turning me down for sex, I’ve decided to dump him.

The final straw happened tonight. We don’t live together – we’re both 22 – so I texted him a sexy message, asking if I should pop over for some fun.

His reply? “I’ve just put my tea on.”

What red-blooded man would rather watch a ready-meal in the microwave than have sex with his girlfriend?

After that, I realised we are only ever intimate when he initiates it. I sent him a long message explaining how hurt I felt, and he simply replied, “OK.”

That’s it. He’s blocked.

DEIDRE SAYS: You’re understandably upset. Sex should be a loving act enjoyed by both of you, not something only he can initiate. He sounds like he is keen to keep everything on his terms.

If you want to work on this then meet up to discuss how he feels about your relationship, explain how rejected you feel.

You won’t get any answers by blocking him.
