Spot the difference: Doug Hutchinson dresses up as his teen bride Courtney Stodden as the couple go trick-or-treating in Los Angeles yesterday


Everywhere they go and every controversial move they make is used as a photo opportunity.

And today it was no different for fame-hungering couple Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison.

The Green Mile actor, 51, and his teen bride, 17, both went trick-or-treating in Los Angeles in some very racy attire over the weekend.


But in an hilarious spoof, Doug dressed as his wife; slipping into a skimpy orange top, a pink sparkly vest and very short black mini skirt, which showed off his very hairy legs.

He accessoirsed with a pair of orange stilettos, giant lollipop and 'Sugar Daddy' candy, and topped the look off by stuffing his bra and throwing on a platinum blonde wig.

Of course Courtney went as a very sexy version of herself, opting for a naughty school girl costume consisting of super short hot pink skirt, a white lacy crop top, knee-high socks and stripper style heels.

She also bought her dog along for the occasion, whose hair she had dyed pink for the holiday.

As they skipped around the L.A streets, Doug imitated his wife's infamous pouting and posing.

The couple also larked around for the cameras together, cuddling up and clutching onto their giant sweets.

It appeared that Courtney had also expertly emulated her own make-up on her man's complexion, with Doug wearing identical eye-shadow and gold lipstick to his ladylove.

The outing comes ahead of the couple's upcoming appearance on Dr. Drew's Lifechangers tonight.

The interview is designed to explain Courtney's racy Pumpkin Patch appearance earlier this month.

But in a sneak peek of the clip, it appears that Courtney makes matters worse for herself as she slurs her way through the sit-down, alongside Doug.

The real deal: Courtney went as a very sexy version of herself, opting for a naughty school girl costume, consisting of super short hot pink skirt, a white lacy crop top, knee-high socks and stripper style heels


In a sneak preview of the interview, Courtney is seen with garbled speech and consistently fidgets as she perches herself on the addiction medicine specialist's couch.

Dressed in a revealing pink mini dress, her behaviour can only be described as odd.
Even Doug himself is forced to interject at numerous times, when the teen bride attempts to speak on her own behalf.

In the clip, the pair explain the incident, which lead to the teenage bride being asked to leave the PG13 event after furious parents complained about her inappropriate behavior.

Having a laugh: As they skipped around the L.A streets, Doug imitated his wife's infamous pouting and posing
Doug confirms that they were indeed kicked out of the event.


'One thing about the pumpkin patch fiasco; we were kicked off the pumpkin patch,' Doug explains.

'We went to pick out pumpkins the other day... Courtney was dressed as you saw her in sort of the Daisy Duke like thing.'

'Was she kicked out for the attire?' asks Drew.

Similar: Courtney and Doug's make-up was nearly identical


As Doug repeats the question and before he can answer Drew, Courtney interjects.
Posing and pouting, she is seen slurring her words.

The women were coming up to the manager and complaining,' she says .
'Because of the kids?' Drew asks.

'Because of the kids,' Courtney replies sarcastically, making quotation mark gestures with her fingers as she sways back and forth on the couch.

Doug is then seen once again taking over, with the occasion clap and 'woo-hew' thrown in by Courtney.

Interview: The outing comes ahead of the couple's upcoming appearance on Dr. Drew's Lifechangers tonight


The Green Mile actor tells Drew that there were people at the patch who were enjoying their appearance.

'There were also a lot of people there who were enjoying, they wanted to take pictures with us.

'We even overheard a dad say to his little girl 'oh look honey, they have a pumpkin patch girl this year,'' he says, while Courtney importantly notes 'The dad loved it!'

'A lot of the kids thought that she was like this pumpkin patch princess,' Doug continues.

'There was a handful of concerned moms who went to the owners and said 'get her out' so we were escorted out.'

Garbled: But in a sneak peek of the clip, it appears that she makes matters worse for herself as she slurs her way through the sit-down, alongside Doug


And their cleavage was hanging out quit a bit,' Courtney once again butts in.

Courtney was asked to leave a pumpkin patch in Valencia, California, earlier this month, due to her inappropriate attire and behaviour.

Wearing a pair of tiny denim shorts that just about covered her bottom, the blonde wannabe TV star showed off her perky cleavage in a checked shirt which she wore tied up and finished her awful look with a pair of white PVC knee-high boots and sunglasses.

Courtney, along with Doug, were eventually asked to leave the patch by security after they received several complaints from members of the public who found Courtney's attire offensive and her behaviour of a sexual nature.

The teenager was also banned from social networking site, Facebook, earlier this month after she posted inappropriate pictures of herself.

The fame-seeker is hoping to star in her own reality TV show with her older husband after they met with MTV producers last week.

The truth behind Kate's scar: Duchess was 'hit on the head during a sporting accident and had an operation soon afterwards'

By Daily Mail Reporter


Composed: Attending a private charity dinner last night, Kate looked glamorous in a pale aqua Amanda Wakeley dress, but her half-up half-down hairstyle exposed a three inch scar just above her left ear


The utterly charming Duchess of Cambridge mesmerised guests as she hosted a black tie charity event in Clarence House last week.

But as photos emerged the following morning of Prince William's pretty wife, the media and public were mesmerised by something else, a three inch scar that ran up the side of Catherine's head just above her left ear.

We can now reveal that the scar is the result of a sporting accident from when the 29-year-old was at school at Malborough in Berkshire.


A spokesman for the Duchess at St James’s Palace immediately confirmed that the scar was the result of surgery that had taken place more than a decade before. ‘The scar related to a childhood operation,’ they said.

The palace declined to discuss what kind of operation. But senior royal sources confirmed that it had been ‘a very serious operation’ and declined to comment further.

However one of Kate's childhood friends has now revealed the truth behind the injury.
They told Grazia: 'Everyone knows Kate was sporty at school, and she told me how she had a sporting accident.


Kate's scar, the result of a sporting injury, was clearly visible on her temple, while right, William has what he calls his Harry Potter scar on his forehead, the result of being hit with a golf club when he was 13

Kate's scar was clearly visible on the side of her head in a photo taken earlier this year


'She was hit on the head when she was 14 or 15. Later, she was taken to hospital by her mother and had to have an operation. I can only presume the two were connected.

'There were whispers wondering if she might have had a brain tumour.'

But John Scurr, consultant surgeon at the Lister Hospital in London, said a tumour was unlikely.

‘I really doubt it was any serious medical condition,‘ he said.


Sporting injury: Kate Middleton, left, was on Malborough College's girls' hockey team - which is probably how she got the three inch scar in her hair

Model pupil: Kate, centre, back row, with the rest of the hockey team infront of her public school


‘It is remarkable, given the measurement, that no-one has noticed before.’

The accident is likely to have involved being hit on the heat by a hockey stick, as Kate was on Malborough School's team and played often. This makes her injury surprisingly similar to the one that left her husband with a 'Harry Potter scar'.

Prince William has a large zig-zag mark on his forehead as a result of being hit with a golf club when he was 13.

Kate looked slender in her beaded gown - which, unusually for the Duchess, who tends to cover up with either sleeves or small bolero, showed off her shoulders - as she chatted with the 30 guests at Clarence House

The Duchess was conducting her first solo engagement as a member of the Royal Family, standing in for her father-in-law, Prince Charles.

The Prince had been due to host a glitzy black-tie private dinner at Clarence House, his London residence, in aid of In Kind Direct, a charity he set up in 1996.

Unfortunately Charles was suddenly required to fly to Riyadh to present condolences to the Saudi Royal Family following the death of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. So he called his 'delightful daughter-in-law' and asked if she would step in.

Hundreds protest to BBC over Robbie Savage the Strictly Come Dancing hip-thruster

By Paul Revoir

Thrusts: These moves from Robbie Savage on Strictly sparked complaints from viewers - he claimed it was simply a tribute to Michael Jackson's famous moves


The BBC has received hundreds of complaints over footballer Robbie Savage's 'inappropriate' moves on Saturday's Strictly Come Dancing.

The former Wales international player did a series of hip thrusts during his routine before leaping on to the judges' desk and performing the risque moves in front of Craig Revel Horwood.

Parents claimed the dance, carried out to the Michael Jackson song Bad and broadcast well before the 9pm watershed, was not suitable for a family audience.

Shocked: Robbie Savage gives judge Craig Revel Horwood a fright on Halloween


Last night the BBC confirmed it had received 267 complaints about the issue during the contestant's paso doble.

But the broadcaster defended the moves, saying Savage was simply paying tribute to the dancing of Michael Jackson.

Viewers vented their anger on the corporation's online message-boards after Saturday night's show.

One said: 'We thought that the use of "hip thrusts" by Robbie Savage during his performance tonight was particularly vulgar, deplorable and completely unnecessary.


Flapping it around: Savage was commended by Alesha Dixon for his cape work in the early part of the routine


A ballroom guy: Judge Len Goodman criticised Savage for not bringing his best skills to the Latin numbers


Bad: Although Robbie Savage's dance was frightful to some viewers, it was Nancy Dell'Olio who got voted off this weekend

'Vulgar': But Robbie Savage, who is partnered by Ola Jordan, was said by the BBC to be simply paying tribute to Michael Jackson


'They were particularly suggestive especially to the younger audience and the action in front of Craig was very much out of order.

'It is not necessary for him to hold his crotch in that way to give a good performance. We hope that this will not be repeated in future. The only judge that appeared to appreciate it was Alesha – the others showed disapproval, much to their credit.'

And the remaining judges showed that disapproval by giving Savage and his professional dance partner Ola Jordan an overall score of just 26 points out of 40, putting the pair well into the bottom half of the leader board.

Another viewer complained: 'The thrusts were quite unnecessary from Robbie. I too hope that it will not be repeated. Children watch this programme and ask questions.

Our grandchildren were here this evening and they saw that “action” and wanted to know what he was doing.'

Controversy: When Rihanna (pictured on tour) performed on X Factor her routines sparked complaints


The row comes after ITV rival The X Factor has been dogged in by concerns over taste and decency. Last year's X Factor final sparked thousands of complaints as a result of routines by Rihanna and Christina Aguilera.

Strictly, like X Factor, airs in a pre-watershed slot.

The BBC said last night: 'Robbie danced a paso doble to Michael Jackson's Bad. The choreography emulated some of Michael's famous dance moves and no offence was intended.'

It pointed out that the 267 complaints came from a peak audience of 11.5million.


Has he got the moves? The BBC said 267 complaints came from an audience of 11.5million


Savage has forged a new career in the media after retiring as the captain of Derby County in the summer.

His appearance on Strictly has raised his profile along with his outspoken views on radio programmes and phone-ins.

He enjoyed an image as something of a pantomime villian among football fans during a 537-game career for Crewe, Leicester City, Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers and Derby. He also won 39 caps as a midfielder for Wales.

'It gets quite heated... It's real': Gary Barlow confirms fall-out between Kelly and Tulisa on X Factor

By Alanah Eriksen


No holds barred: Gary, seen leaving Sunday night's show, confirmed a rift between Kelly and Tulisa and lambasted Louis for ignoring his acts


As X Factor bosses wait with baited breath to see if Kelly Rowland will return, Gary Barlow has confirmed a fallout between the singer and Tulisa Contostavlos.

In a candid interview he also lambasts the fourth judge Louis Walsh saying he had never seen him at the house with the contestant.

Former Destiny's Child member Kelly flew back to LA last week following rows with Tulisa.


She has said she is suffering from an 'extremely rare illness' and missed Saturday's performances and Sunday's eliminations how, although did send her act Sophie Habibis home via the telephone.

Take That singer Gary says he has found the show tough and although he would not go into detail on Kelly and Tulisa's fight, he did confirm there was tension between them.

'I have found it draining at times,' he told Heat magazine.

Fight: Kelly said she was annoyed when Tulisa said on last week's live show that her act Misha B was 'being mean to certain contestants'


'Everyone is fiercely protective [of their acts], so it gets quite heated. It’s real. I don’t get involved in any backstage gossip.'

He added: 'There’s nothing staged on the judges’ panel exchanges. It’s always real.'

And he appears to be on Tulisa's side, telling the magazine: 'Tulisa is brilliant.

To come onto the panel as a complete beginner and put those groups together like she did, shows a real eye for talent.


What you see is what you get: Gary says the judges' exchanges on the shows are not staged


'I hope one of her groups gets through to the final few. They’re very lucky to have her – she spends a lot of time and energy on them.'

On Louis, Gary reiterated what he said last week.

'I think I have seen him once at the house with the contestants. He is in Dublin all week. He doesn’t really care.

'For someone who’s been there for eight years, he’s got some pretty bad habits.'

He said Louis’ song choices were the biggest worry although Johnny Robinson's version of The Darkness’ I Believe In A Thing Called Love two weeks ago was 'very entertaining'.

Meanwhile, a source told Heat that Kelly started going into Tulisa's dressing room and suggesting songs and styling for her acts, which created a 'weird vibe.

Kelly has apparently even spoken to Simon Cowell about her concerns.

The pair were seen embroiled in a heated debate last week when Tulisa and Louis accused Kelly's act Misha B of backstage bullying.

Kelly said afterwards: 'I didn’t think it was fair on Misha at all… there was much more professional way of handling it.'

Meanwhile, tickets for Gary's first solo shows in over 11 years are being auctioned off after they sold out in minutes.

Now tickets for the two concerts, to be held on 5th and 6th December, will be auctioned on Gigsandtours.com/garybarlow until Wednesday 2nd November at 8pm.

Gary said: 'I've been overwhelmed at the response for both shows which sold out on Friday. Fans will be glad to know we've kept some back with great views of the stage to auction off to the highest bidder so we can make as much money as we possibly can for The Princes Trust.'

Kim Kardashian steps out without her wedding or engagement rings as she jets to Australia while her camp 'slam Kris for chasing fame'

-Kim pictured at LAX without her wedding or engagement rings
-She is heading to Australia to promote her show
-Kim's camp are said to claim Kris was 'chasing fame by marrying her'
-Kris Humphries seen today wearing his wedding ring
-It has been reported marriage 'was a hoax'

By Sarah Fitzmaurice and Chris Johnson


No bling: Kim Kardashian was seen at LAX airport earlier today without her wedding ring or her engagement ring after announcing she was filing for divorce from Kris Humphries


She only announced she was filing for divorce earlier yesterday but Kim Kardashian has already stepped out without her engagement and wedding rings.

The 31-year-old reality TV star was seen arriving at LAX airport heading for a trip to Australia.

Kim looked tired and was dressed down for the flight in a simple white T-shirt, black jeans and a leather jacket.

While Kris is reportedly 'devastated' by the not-so-shock announcement, after rumours have dogged their marriage for weeks, Kim's camp are said to be claiming her estranged husband was chasing fame.

According to TMZ, when divorce was mentioned Kris 'went into full Hollywood gear, talking about branding the Kris Humphries name with cologne, nightclub appearances'.

Kim was also said to have gone off Kris after he 'hired a Hollywood publicist' according to the gossip website.

Kris' motives were questioned by Khloe Kardashian before their wedding, which viewers say in the reality show about their wedding which saw the pair come to blows.

Meanwhile reports are emerging that their whole marriage, which is said to have netted the former couple $18million, is a hoax, according to Radaronline.com.

A source told the website: 'It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start.'

'Kim was looking for a husband and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn’t really into him but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings, but it never happened. She was never particularly attracted to him, and by all accounts absolutely hated sleeping with him or even having to make out with him.'

Yesterday Kris was seen in his home state of Minnesota wearing his wedding ring as he headed to the gym.

Neither Kris nor Kim have tweeted about their marriage breakdown although the socialite did issue a statement earlier yesterday.

Kim insisted she had hoped the marriage would 'last forever'.

Getting away: While Kim has jetted off to Australia it has been claimed that Kim's camp have accused Kris Humphries of 'chasing fame' according to gossip website TMZ

The 31-year-old reality star said it was 'not an easy decision' after filing for divorce from NBA star Kris, 26, after just 72 days of marriage on the grounds of 'irreconcilable differences'.

In a statement to E! - which screens her TV show - Kim said: 'After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision.

'I had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned. We remain friends and wish each other the best.'

Kris, meanwhile, says he is devastated by Kim's decision, with TMZ claiming he only learnt she was divorcing him this morning.

'I'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents,' he said in a statement via his representative.

It's over: Kim Kardashian is reported to be filing for divorce from husband Kris Humphries after just 72 days of marriage

We're done: Court documents filed today show Kim has filed for divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences


'I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce ... I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work.'

Yesterday morning Ryan Seacrest, the producer of her reality show, tweeted: 'Yes @KimKardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins.'

Kim ensured they both signed a prenuptial agreement before they got hitched at a lavish ceremony on August 20 in Montecito, California.

It netted the couple a reported $18million from magazine deals, TV coverage and endorsements - that's $250,000 every day.

Hours before the big news: Kim with sisters Khloe, left, and Kourtney, right, last night on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage to film an anti-bullying segment for Extreme Makeover


News of their divorce will no doubt add fuel to the fire that the wedding was merely a cynical manoeuvre to cash in at a time when Kim's star had reached its zenith.

Yesterday Kim took to Twitter, but rather than mentioning anything about her marital breakdown cynically plugged her new boutique Kardashian Khaos, which opens today at The Mirage hotel in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian also took to her Twitter account to defend her elder sister against negative comments.

'Reading some of these comments r so hurtful,' she wrote. 'I'm grateful 4our fans who understand & r being respectful. Hate is disgusting. Love is everything.'

She then added on a later tweet: 'Thank God for family. We are strong and we will only become closer! I love YOU.'


Tweet response: Kim's younger sister Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter to tweet against the fans who have written 'hurtful' comments about the split

Family united: Kourtney Kardashian tweeted her support for Kim saying that the family are 'sticking together' as always


Kourtney Kardashian also rushed to Twitter to voice her support for her younger sister.

'Our sister is going through a difficult time but we're a close family and are sticking together as always,' she wrote.

'We appreciate everyone's kindness and support. @kim kardashian, we love you.'
Insiders have revealed the entire wedding was a sham.

'It was pretty much an arranged marriage right from the start,' one source, close to the Keeping Up With The Kardashians production told RadarOnline.com.

'Kim was looking for a husband and Kris was selected for her, amongst others. She wasn’t really into him but she hoped she would be able to develop some feelings, but it never happened.'

The date of Kim and Kris's separation is listed as yesterday (October 31), divorce papers logged with the Superior Court of California show.

'It's true': Ryan Seacrest, the producer of her E! reality show, just tweeted: 'Yes @KimKardashian is filing for divorce this morning.
I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few mins'


She has hired top divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has dealt with the likes of Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie and Ryan Reynolds.

According to Us Weekly, the couple's assets will be divided in accordance with their prenuptial agreement.

Kim's assets prior to the marriage are said to all be protected, and she will also keep everything she earned during their short union.

Television network E! - which screens the Kardashian reality show - released a statement about the divorce.

Coming to blows: The couple were pictured in their car having what appeared to be a heated row

Storming off: Kris is then seen exiting the motor and leaving before leaving in a separate car


It read: 'All of us at E! are surprised and saddened by this news, and we send our support to Kim and Kris at this difficult time.

'The Kardashians have always been uniquely open with all aspects of their lives from joyous events to intimate moments to heartbreaking transitions.

'E! will continue to share the fascinating real lives and larger-than-life existence of this close-knit family.'

However, an insider told the New York post that producers are considering whether to stop showing re-runs of Kim's Fairytale Wedding, which was first broadcast in two parts from October 9.

Executives fear the illusion of the fairytale has now been shattered and, therefore, it could ultimately damage the Kardashian brand to keep showing it.

Support from friends and family: Bruce Jenner was seen arriving at Kim's house while her friend Brittny Gastineau said the news of the break up was 'very sad' as she appeared on Extra TV at the Grove


MailOnline reported earlier this month how Kim and Kris's marriage had hit the rocks.

A source close to the couple told us just two weeks ago: 'I don’t know when they’ll announce the split or why they got married in the first place but they are done.’

'They are divorcing. Kim has been staying in a New York hotel which Kris has failed to visit.'

The couple have been dogged by persistent reports that all is not well between them for several weeks now.


Going solo: Kim went to the Midori Green Halloween Party at Lavo in New York City on Friday without Kris

Insider: A source told MailOnline that the couple were headed for a split


Earlier this month Star magazine claimed Humphries has been spotted partying in both Miami and New York without Kim, getting flirty with multiple women and 'acting like a single man.'

U.S. magazine Life & Style alleges that on a recent trip to Toronto, Kris contacted his ex-girlfriend, Bianka Kamber.

The magazine also spoke to a Kourtney & Kim Take New York producer who said: 'Kim's mapping out 2012, including holidays, and Kris isn't a part of it. Any itineraries for the future don't include Kris very much.'

The couple's fiery relationship was captured on her reality show Keeping Up With Kardashians, where strong-minded Kris frequently complained about feeling 'emasculated' by Kim.

Another big factor behind the split apparently hinged on a difference in opinion about where to live once the wedding fuss died down.

According to TMZ, sources revealed Kris was set on moving to his home state of Minnesota.

Kim, meanwhile, wanted to stay in Los Angeles, she she is from and where she believes her career can be best served.

The website adds that the while the break up is not a 'nasty one' the couple came to the realisation that things would not work out long-term.

Lavish affair: Kim and Kris raked in a reported $18m from their wedding in Montecito, California on August 20


Over the weekend Kim attended a Halloween party in New York - but tellingly did not bring Kris along.

She instead made a red carpet appearance with her PR friend Jonathan Cheban at the Midori Green event.

Over recent weeks the reality star has often been spotted alone and without Humphries.

Following their wedding, the couple shared a brief honeymoon together in Italy.


Former flames: Kim was married to music producer Damon Thomas, left, between 2000 and 2004, and also dated singer Ray J, centre, for two years and NFL star Reggie Bush for three years, right

But they quickly returned to New York to begin filming on her spin-off reality show Kourtney & Kim Take New York, where they lived in a plush NYC hotel suite along with Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott Disick.

Kim and Kris started dating last November soon after Kim ended her brief dalliance with Canadian model Gabriel Aubry - Halle Berry's ex - and announced their engagement in May.

This will mark the second failed marriage for Kim, she eloped to Las Vegas with music producer Damon Thomas - 10 years her senior - when she was just 19, but divorced in 2004 after four years together.

She has also had high-profile relationships with RnB singer Ray J, who she filmed a sex tape with, and NFL star Reggie Bush.

'I didn't like playing Rosie when she went through her promiscuous phase': Helen Flanagan on quitting Corrie

Moving on: Helen Flanagan says she didn't like playing Rosie Webster on Coronation Street when she went through a promiscuous stage


She's known for her provocative outfits off set just as much as she in on the show.

But as she speaks for the first time about quitting Coronation Street, Helen Flanagan has revealed she didn't like her character's risque story lines.

Rosie Webster is seen trying to pursue a glamour modelling career as well as bedding a number of the other characters.

Helen says she is nothing like the budding model in real life.


'I like that she's confident, whereas I'm reserved and shy,' she told Hello magazine.

'I can hide behind her. She's funny and sweet too. I didn't enjoy playing her when she went through a promiscuous phase. Luckily she shows more heart these days.

'But I'd give her some advice and tell her to calm down a bit. She is fiercely ambitious and worships power and money.'

Not so shy! Helen, left, shared this picture of her in a very low-cut top last month and right, dressed as Rosie, while filming her spinoff web series


She said she would love to act in a period piece on stage, such as Romeo and Juliet but also wants to pursue a modelling career like Rosie.

Helen, 21, has played Rosie for 12 years but has quit the show to start a new life with her boyfriend Scott Sinclair, 22.

When she films her last scenes for the show in December, she will move from her parents home in Bolton to Wales to be with him.

The pair met through Helen's on-screen sister, played by Brooke Vincent.


In love: Helen and her Swansea footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair who she will move in with after shooting her last scenes in December

Am I wearing that? Helen with onscreen boyfriend Jason Grimshaw, played by Ryan Thomas, during her modelling scenes last year


'Brooke was meeting a male friend and he brought along Scott,' she said.

'He seemed like a nice, sweet guy and invited me on a date. We got on well and by the second date, we were best friends. That was it, we became inseparable. I knew he was The One, the only man I wanted to be with.'

But even though they have been together for two years now, Helen says it's too early to talk about marriage and children.

Helen says she made the decision to leave the show while on a three-month sabbatical from April to June.

Her break was explained on the show as Rosie having gone to London to pursue modelling.

'During my time away from the street I felt free. One of the first things I did was cut my hair short and dyed it bright blonde. I felt fearless and girlie.

'It was something I had wanted to do for a long time.

'I loved the way it made me feel and have no regrets, even though I had to dye my hair brown again when I turned to Coronation Street.'

The actress has been crippled by panic attacks since she was 19 and endured three while filming recently.

But she says her reason for leaving is more about 'growing as a person'.

Helen claims she doesn't know yet how Rosie will be written out of the show but believes it may be to pursue her modelling career.
