Who is Peter Lai? Renowned Hong Kong lyricist is trending on Chinese social media
Renowned Hong Kong lyricist Peter Lai Bei-dak is trending on Chinese social media platform Weibo after he disclosed that he helped his 37-year-old son – with whom he has a strained relationship – pay off credit card debt worth hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. Advertisement Many comments shared on Weibo expressed empathy for the 75-year-old single father, with many users lamenting his situation. Lai also shared with local media platform HK01 that he is currently looking for a soulmate, which sparked fevered discussion in both Hong Kong and mainland China. He seemed unfazed by the reaction and claimed that if Hong Kong singer and actor Lee Lung-kay could find love at the age of 74, why couldn't he? Renowned for crafting the lyrics for classic songs in Hong Kong including 'Monica' (sung by Leslie Cheung Kwok-wing) and 'Drifter's Song' (sung by Sam Hui Koon-kit), the outspoken Lai has also long been familiar to mainland audiences thanks to his role as a comedic private tutor in Stephen Chow Sing-chi's 1993 movie Flirting Scholar. Although his fame peaked during the 1970s and '80s, his lyrics continue to resonate deeply among Chinese pop-culture circles.

Eamonn Holmes 'takes brutal swipe at ex-wife Ruth Langsford' as he gushes over new love Katie Alexander
Eamonn Holmes reportedly took a brutal 'swipe' at Ruth Langsford while gushing over his new girlfriend Katie Alexander. The TV presenter, 65, found love with Katie, 43, following his divorce from Ruth, 65, in May 2024, when they split after 14 years of marriage and two decades together. Eamonn and Katie have not been shy of showing off their affections for one another and looked very loved-up at GB News star Nana Akua's engagement party earlier this month. While attending the glitzy party, Eamonn seemingly took a swipe at his ex-wife Ruth while discussing his blossoming new relationship, according to Bella Magazine. He described Katie as his 'soulmate', before adding: 'In sickness you find out who is there for you.' A source told The Mirror of his remark: 'It was an insensitive comment from Eamonn, but he's smitten with Katie and does feel like she has been there for him through the hard times. 'That said, it is a kick in the teeth for Ruth because she has been there for him since the beginning.' Eamonn has battled a number of health problems in recent years, including a double hip replacement surgery, slipped discs and ongoing spinal problems. MailOnline has contacted Eamonn's representatives for comment. Eamonn and Katie grew close last summer and began dating soon after, with engagement rumours even swirling in December. Eamonn and Ruth had shocked fans with their joint statement on May 25, 2024, confirming the end of their 14 year marriage. However, the TV presenter continued wearing his wedding ring before he ditched the band last month, while Ruth has also stopped wearing her ring. At first, Ruth had resolutely kept her ring on, even declaring to a fan that she wouldn't remove them 'because I am still married', before officially ditching the band. The exes are now going through divorce, with Ruth thought to be desperate to finalise their split, having sought advice from lawyers to keep their £3.6million six-bedroom home in Surrey. However, Eamonn is reportedly 'dragging his feet' and is 'determined' to get his finances back in order to give Katie the same lavish lifestyle his ex Ruth enjoyed. A source told The Sun: 'Katie's been a rock to Eamonn throughout his ongoing divorce Eamonn's health is always a big concern and after a few tax blows lately, he is more determined than ever to get his finances back in order. 'Eamonn feels hard done by in the divorce. 'He's dragging his feet because Ruth's got the house and they have a lot of other financials still to sort out between them. 'Eamonn knows his mobility issues are a worry, he needs a carer to help him get ready for work and that's expensive.' The insider added that Eamonn 'doesn't want to lose' Katie, and is keen to give her the 'kind of lifestyle she deserves'.

My secret married lover is being treated for cancer – and I'm heartbroken that I can't visit him
DEAR DEIDRE: MY secret lover is being treated for cancer and I'm heartbroken that I can't visit him. This is not your usual seedy affair. We met through work ten years ago and this man has been the love of my life, my soulmate, ever since. I'm 45 and he's 56. During our decade together, he has married his wife, with whom he has three children. But we speak or see each other every day. It's not just physical, even though the intimate side of our relationship is electric. After sex, we often lie in each other's arms for hours, softly laughing and kissing, until he has to leave. We love each other. But I was the person who told him to see the doctor. I was kissing his shoulder and I noticed a mole looked red and raised. He said he hadn't been aware of it but I don't know why his wife hadn't noticed it. Following tests, he made a brief phone call to me, saying he'd been admitted to hospital with stage-three skin cancer. Since then, I've heard nothing. I'm in pieces — I don't know how to get news on how he is. I can't visit him in case I bump into his wife and kids. I can't ask our HR team for too many updates without them suspecting we're more than just colleagues — workplace relationships aren't allowed. I'm in limbo. My friends aren't sympathetic because they say he has strung me along for years. But I know he loves me. Spotting the signs your partner is cheating My worst fear is that he will die, and I won't know until it's too late to go to his funeral. What can I do? Sadly, skin-cancer rates are rising in the UK. And melanoma, the dead-liest form of it, is the fifth most common cancer in the UK. Over the past decade, melanoma skin cancer incidence rates have increased by 32 per cent. You might very well have saved his life. Now for the bad news. It doesn't seem like he wants to spend that life with you. While you waited for your next snatched moment together, he married and had three children with someone else. You believe he's your soulmate – but would he agree? Life-threatening illnesses often cause people to take stock. I suggest you do the same. It's time to look for a new partner, one who will want you by their side every moment of their life, good and bad. Please read my support pack, Your Lover Not Free? to help you see things more clearly. I'VE LISTED ALL OF HER SEXCUSES We're both 28 and have been dating for two years. Six months ago we moved in together. Since then, we've only had sex on 12 occasions. The rest of the time, she makes excuses. I've started keeping a list. She has not wanted sex for the following reasons: Headache, backache, bloating, tiredness, alcohol, a sore knee, constipation, work stress, mosquitoes, bread and wanting to watch Clarkson's Farm. Early on, our sex life was spectacular. My girlfriend used to be adventurous and would often surprise me with a new technique or position. She was the most exciting woman I'd ever met and would do daring things like treat me to oral in the cinema, or fondle me while I drove. I expected the sex to get even wilder when we shared a home. My girlfriend is a high-earner so our new apartment has a balcony and a Jacuzzi bath. I had high hopes for the spicy action we would enjoy in both those locations, but sadly the only sex has been a rushed missionary session in bed. I've tried to show my affection by helping her with housework, or suggesting we order in a takeaway, but she seems permanently grumpy. It's making me feel rejected and resentful. It's like she pretended to be someone else for the first part of our relationship. DEIDRE SAYS: Destroy that list. She is not a malfunctioning sex bot. She's a real person with real feelings, and I suspect your entitlement might be the real turn-off here. When I look at her reasons for not wanting sex, I see an exhausted, overwhelmed person who is eating big dinners (like your takeaways) and probably doesn't feel relaxed and playful. You say you 'help' with house-work. Instead of helping, why not do at least half of it? She's more likely to see the erotic potential of a Jacuzzi bath when she's not the only one scrubbing it. I understand that your desire for sex goes beyond a physical urge. You want to feel close, connected and loved. But so does she. Unlike men, women often need to feel those emotions before they head to bed, and not afterwards. You see she's grumpy so ask why. Clean the house, book a date night, talk and turn off the TV. Become a warm, loving partner and your adventurous girlfriend will return. FAMILY FORUM DEAR DEIDRE: I WANT to move in with my boyfriend, but I'm scared my son's behaviour will drive us apart. My son is nine and I'm 34. My boyfriend is 37 and lives with his teenage daughter. Even though he can be funny and loving, my son has always been a handful. When he was a toddler, I would get calls from his childminder to say he'd been fighting or shouting at other kids. He would never sit still and easily lost his temper. My son was six when I split up from his dad and became a single mum. I've struggled to cope. I find myself giving in to whatever my son wants, just for an easier life. Now, he calls me names, insults me, and helps himself to anything he wants from the kitchen or my handbag. When he's happy, he's great company. But then a switch will flip and he'll be spiteful or break something. His dad has a new family now and rarely sees him. My new boyfriend and I met a year ago through a dating app for single parents. I immediately liked how hands-on he was as a parent, having his daughter three or four nights every week. My boyfriend wants me and my son to move in. I'd love to, but I have hidden the worst of my son's behaviour from him. When my boyfriend sees what my son can be like, I'm scared he'll lose interest in both of us. I don't know what to do. DEIDRE SAYS: The more positive role models your son has in his life, the better. Long-term, your boyfriend could be an excellent influence. In the short term, I'd focus on getting your son more support, rather than any more change. Has his school ever suggested an assessment for ADHD or autism? Some of his behaviour could suggest he's neurodivergent, so that might be a sensible first step. Find a club he might be interested in, such as martial arts or Cubs, to give him the opportunity to make friends outside of his school classroom. At home, set boundaries and a routine that you can both stick to. Reward him for good behaviour. HAUNTED BY OVERDOSING FEARS DEAR DEIDRE: THE only way to find peace from my drug-addict boyfriend was to leave him, move away and switch off my phone. Now I'm haunted by fears of him overdosing. I'm 23, he's 27 and we were great together for three years. But his recreational drug use crept up until he was doing very hard drugs. I tried to get him help, but he would skip hospital or counselling appointments to hang out with his dealer. Finally, I snapped. I moved away, leaving him and everyone I knew behind. I switched off my phone to stop him calling. I know I made the right move, but who will ensure he is safe now? DEIDRE SAYS: It was his choice to ignore your help. I understand your fears but his health isn't your responsibility. Talking about your worries can help a lot. – 0808 802 6666 – provides a free listening ear for family and relationship problems.

Can I sue the hospital? I sliced my little finger on a veg knife. The cut didn't heal, and after a few days I couldn't sleep because it was throbbing so badly. Panicking, I drove myself to A&E. After a long wait, I got laughed at by a doctor, who told me: 'Try a plaster.' When I insisted something was wrong, he called security to escort me out. The cut got worse and I ended up developing gan-grene. I had to have the arm amputated above the elbow. I'm still in pain, I've lost my job and my mental health has really suffered. Can I take legal action? DEIDRE SAYS: That is a tragic tale. You might have grounds to sue. The first step would be to contact The Patients Association ( where you can speak to a trained adviser.
