My mum produced a porn film - all I remember is her tears
Arriving home from university to find my strict South Asian mother watching pornography felt like one of those 'I bet you're wondering how I got here' record-scratch moments. Surrounded by a Channel 4 film crew and bright lights, my mother, Jane, was red-faced while watching a threesome and listening to a cacophony of moans. She was doing it for a three-part series called Mums Make Porn in 2019, which followed five mothers producing porn they'd feel comfortable having their adult children watch. They faced explicit videos, sex toys and live-action porn sets. The aim was to tackle the misogyny and exploitation rampant in mainstream porn and challenge its male-dominated narratives. My mother was invited to be a part of the series after the production company approached her on social media. I was astonished that she agreed, but when she asked me if I approved, my curiosity got the better of me and, with some trepidation – Mum had never even seen 50 Shades of Grey, let alone porn – I said yes. Inwardly, I hoped that her participation in the show might lead to more open conversations about sex between us – she was about to be slapped in the face with the cultural gap that I had been navigating for years. Growing up, the only discussions that Mum and I had about sex were her bi-annual missions of barging into my room to proclaim, 'I hope you're still a virgin?'

My values towards sex and relationships had developed through exposure to both Western openness and the respect-driven nature of my religious, South Asian upbringing. I had British friends who would have conversations with their mothers about starting contraception, while I faced grave trouble for kissing a boy on my 15th birthday. At school, I was bullied for parroting strict beliefs in sex education class, like not losing my virginity before 21. I never dared make such a proclamation again. One of the scenes Mum and I filmed for the show together involved her asking me whether I knew about threesomes, if I had friends who had tried anal sex, and if I had ever seen a porn movie before. I answered each with a dryly amused 'no'. The truth was, I had friends who had done these things, and this could have been a breakthrough moment for us. However, I could see how deeply my mother was struggling with the experience. Not only was she confronted with hordes of sex toys, but the blasé attitudes of porn directors and, eventually, a live porn set where she witnessed porn actors having sex, which caused one of the other mums to vomit. My mother came home dismayed. She started to have lengthy conversations with me about her inability to align her South Asian morals with what she was seeing. She was doing what I'd spent my whole life doing, navigating the differences in culture. I had learned to deal with it from a young age but I could sense her fear and sadness and that only evoked my compassion. Rather than wishing I could talk more to my mum about sex, I felt deeply sympathetic for her. I couldn't face upsetting her further by bringing the topic up again. Everything came to a head when my mother ultimately decided she couldn't align her values with producing a porn film and tearfully made the decision to drop out of the show. She faced backlash for this online. People mocked her, with many asking why she even bothered to do the show in the first place. When the show was broadcast, I watched scenes of my mother on the set of a live pornography shoot, and they should have been funny; instead, I felt annoyed that viewers wouldn't understand how much of her existing cultural beliefs she had overcome to be there. The image of my mother crying stays with me. In late 2024, my mother celebrated the fifth anniversary of Mums Make Porn at an event. Mum felt happy to see the cast and was warmly greeted, but she had no regrets about leaving the show and her views on porn haven't changed – she still finds it incompatible with her own moral compass. Five years on, my mother and I are stuck in the same dynamic we have always been when it comes to talking about sex and porn. More Trending We have still never really addressed the topic head-on, and I pretend to go to the toilet when there is a sex scene in a movie that we watch together. Ultimately, conversations about sex with parents are uncomfortable in any culture, and they take time and patience, especially when they involve bridging generational and cultural divides. Perhaps the next generation – and any future children I may have – will be better able to retain cultural traditions while exploring more liberal ideas.

Chelsee Healey risks wardrobe malfunction with no bra as she displays cleavage beneath flimsy blazer
The star's look came dangerously close to exposure RISKY BUSINESS Chelsee Healey risks wardrobe malfunction with no bra as she displays cleavage beneath flimsy blazer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CHELSEE Healey came dangerously close to baring more than she bargained for in a risqué blazer on a day out. The 36-year-old stepped out in Manchester City Centre for a photoshoot for her clothing label Rags, donning a sexy business outfit as she walked down the street. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 7 Chelsee's risky business look left her close to exposure Credit: AARON PARFITT 7 The star was all smiles after a tough few months Credit: AARON PARFITT 7 The star stopped of for an iced coffee on her day out Credit: AARON PARFITT In a cream co-ord set consisting of shorts and a plunging blazer Chelsee completed the look in a pair of killer kitten heels as she strolled. Opting to ditch her bra for the shoot, Chelsee's modesty was kept in check by two carefully placed buttons on the plunging top. As she strolled, the jacket moved and threatened exposure, with Chelsee eventually holding the top together herself. She then switched things up with her sister, Kate, who changed into the garment while Chelsee wore a more covered up white shirt. Despite the near-miss, Chelsee appeared to be in good spirits throughout the day, channelling her inner Devil Wears Prada as she sipped coffee and mixed business smarts with a sexy twist. It comes after a rough couple of months for the star, after her daughter's father was jailed for his role in a 'wholesale' drug bust. Eddie Rainford, who shares baby daughter Cookie with the Hollyoaks star, supplied large quantities of cannabis with co-accused Jay Boyd. In June, the 32-year-old was today jailed for 24 months after he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug between November 2022 and September 2023. Chelsee, who started dating Rainford in 2021, was present when he was sentenced, though they are no longer in a relationship. The pair welcomed Cookie in 2021, Chelsee's second child following daughter Coco, who was born in 2017.

Rhosllannerchrugog: Actor Mark Lewis Jones pays heartfelt tribute
Mark Lewis Jones' face is well known even if the name is not as familiar. His credits read like a list of recent iconic TV shows - The Crown, Game of Thrones, Keeping Faith, Man Up and Baby Reindeer. His film career is equally impressive ranging from his memorable role as First Order Captain Moden Canady in Star Wars: The Last Jedi to his role in the recent film, Sweetland. This week he is President of the National Eisteddfod which is being held in Wrexham, only a few miles from his home village. He noted his sincere thanks to the grandfather for insisting that the Eisteddfod be "by everyone and for everyone". In his speech he said: "My grandfather, Jonathan Dafis, sang in the pavilion many times as a loyal member of the Rhos Male Voice Choir, as well as helping to organise the festival when he came to the area in 1945, but somehow when I was growing up I didn't feel that the Eisteddfod was relevant to me. "I was, and continue to be, a proud Welshman, brought up in a community that was Welsh even though we were so close to the border, but even so I didn't think the Eisteddfod was for a Welshman like me. And it took me a while to understand that I was wrong." He added his wife, Gwenno, runs a clothes shop in Cardiff, and would regularly hire a stall on the Maes. "One of my favorite memories of coming to the Eisteddfod (with Gwenno), was meeting and chatting with people who had travelled from afar to be part of the festival. "It became clear to me how essential the Eisteddfod is, supporting and promoting the arts in our country. I now have four sons, each one appreciating the importance of the festival, and Jacob, the youngest, is working on the Maes this week. "I have come to understand what Taid understood from the beginning - that the Eisteddfod is for everyone, for everyone. And if he was still with us I know he would be here, in the front row, with a proud smile on his face when he finally saw his grandson on stage." Mark Lewis Jones also outlined how he chose to become an actor. "I have been fortunate to be able to stand on several famous stages over the years - the Globe and the National in London, the Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford - but I have never been on the stage of the National Eisteddfod before," he said. He went to Ysgol Morgan Llwyd in Wrexham and he had no idea what to do with his life. "But at school there was a teacher called Gwawr Mason. And one day, for some reason, she asked me to be in the next school show? And for some reason I said - yes, ok," he said. He came from a home without any connection with the arts, and a home where English was the main language. "After taking part in that school show, my life changed completely. I wanted to act. My parents were unsure of course, but supportive nonetheless. After all, I had nothing to lose - I have two brothers who are carpenters, but I think my mother and father realised after seeing me handle a saw that there was no future for me in that field. "So I went on to work with Clwyd Youth Theatre. I went to the College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, then to Theatr Clwyd and London. "But I can definitely tell you that that would never have happened if Gwawr Mason had not offered a helping hand to a young, lost boy. Very sadly we lost Gwawr during lockdown and although I have thanked her many times for her support I don't feel I will ever, ever, ever be able to thank her enough," he said. As President Mark Lewis Jones has a full schedule in the next few days but he is especially looking forward to taking part in the Stiwt theatre's centenary celebrations, an institution he has a very personal connection to, in his home village.
