sex has opened up about her rare condition. Chloe Lowery said her skin turned red the first time she touched semen but thought nothing of it.After another sexual encounter, the 18-year-old saw her face "droop" meaning she's had to avoid oral sex since.Then she visited the GP who confirmed she could have human seminal plasma hypersensitivity, a rare allergic reaction to semen.The aspiring professor also experiences a painful "burning" sensation down below which can last up to an hour.Despite learning to live with the rare condition, Chloe feels it's still not a topic many people would talk about.Now she wants to raise awareness about her condition in the hope it'll encourage more research into the rare allergy.Chloe, from Colorado, US, said: "Essentially, I'm allergic to sex."It was probably my third or so sexual experience, I hadn't had contact with it [semen] before then and it got on my skin and I kind of turned red and I didn't think much of it as I turn red sometimes."But then during another encounter it was in my mouth and I looked like I had bell's palsy in half my face for about three hours because I went into facial paralysis temporarily."It was on the right side of my face, it was droopy and I just couldn't express emotion at least with my mouth.

Winter Olympics star David Wolf was sin binned for a "very dangerous" hit to the back of an opponent's neck during Germany's ice hockey match against Slovakia.In horrifying scenes, Wolf, 32, was seen striking opponent Libor Hudacek over the head with his stick sparking a mass brawl on the ice.The commentary team described the events as "very dangerous to hit someone from behind on the back of the neck" and Swedish referee Tobias Bjork duly agreed.While Hudacek hit the deck clutching his head, Wolf was shown an instant 5 plus 20-minute penalty for fighting which meant he missed the final 90 seconds of the contest.Team-mate Stefan Loibl was also handed the same punishment for his part in the brawl as Germany's men's ice hockey team crashed out of the Olympic GamesAfter winning a silver medal in Pyeongchang four years ago, the German national team barely scraped out the group before falling at the first hurdle in the playoff round.The 'Bearers of the Eagle' were expected to challenge for a medal once again in Beijing with the hope of avenging their 4-3 loss to Olympic Athletes to Russia.HAVE YOUR SAY!

James Bond on BBC Radio 2 with Zoe Ball. As the conversation went on, the star came to the conclusion that Monty Don was actually the best man for the job. Speaking to Zoe about his new children’s book Rockstar Detectives, the pair got on to the subject of Adam’s recent MBE. The Australian presenter received the award in the New Year Honours list for his services to Paralympic sport and disability awareness. After Zoe congratulated The Last Leg presenter on his MBE, the comedian shared a surreal moment when he received his letter confirming the award.He said: “So the weird thing is, they send you a letter about a month beforehand saying, ‘Do you accept and would you like to be put forward blah blah blah…’ “But the letter had on it stamped ‘On Her Majesty's Service’ - and for a second I thought I might be the new James Bond.”“So wonderful! I think you could carry it off,” Zoe joked.

Monty Don has taken to Twitter to pay tribute to his former BBC colleague Jana Bennett, who died of brain cancer on January 11.

Monty Don is now a household name. Yet, as his BBC show Adriatic Gardens continues to pull in the ratings, a message on Twitter reminded him that life hadn't always been quite so easy.The exchange had begun with author and podcast presenter Ian Dunt tweeting to his 352,000 followers that if he could get a tattoo of any film quote, it would be: "Monty, you terrible c***.""I’d probably shie (sic) away from that particular line," Monty fired back.Then gardening enthusiast @Hungoverdrawn joined the conversation to reveal an extract the exchange had "put him in mind of" from Monty's 2006 book Growing Out Of Trouble.Featuring his efforts to rehabilitate drug addicted youngsters by setting them to work in the garden, the book quote recalls: "I asked Chubby about being caught in possession of speed."Bit of a c***, Mont, he said."You certainly are, I said.

Monty Don, 66, did not appear to be in good spirits when he took to Twitter last night to hit back at an account that asked him not to share his political views with fans online.Their tweet came after the BBC star utilised the social platform to share an opinionated piece about Prime Minister Boris Johnson by The Guardian.In the essay, writer Max Hastings asserted that Boris “is utterly unfit” to be the head of the government in the UK before going on to claim that he “cares for nothing but his own fame and gratification”.Along with a link to the article, Monty wrote in view of his 247,000 followers: “Every word is prescient.“I was Boris Johnson’s boss: he is utterly unfit to be prime minister | Max Hastings”And while the tweet received well over 1,300 likes, the Twitter user @HughNTJohnson didn’t seem to agree with the Americans Gardens author’s decision to use his social media account to discuss political matters.“No politics Monty, you work for BBC, tax payers don’t need to pay for opinions, just gardening,” they wrote.Clearly unamused by the remark, Monty tweeted out a fiery response, starting off with laying things bare on his working relationship with the Beeb.“For the record I don’t work for the BBC- i work for myself,” he wrote. (sic)“And I wasn’t aware you paid to read my comments on twitter.“However I defend to the death your right to disagree with them and express your own views- on any subject.”The user later apologised to Monty for their comment.Max laid into Boris in his opinionated piece, adding that while he’s known him since they both worked at the Daily Telegraph in the 1980s, the 57-year-old was deemed more of an entertainer than a solid candidate to be running for national office.And according to Max,

Monty Don took to his official Twitter page on Wednesday to make it known that he's been working on writing a new book about the Venetian Gardens.The 66-year-old, who has written a handful of successful books throughout the years, said in view of his 247,000 followers that working on his latest project had occupied a great amount of his time."There is a wren in my workroom with me as I write (working on Venetian Gardens)," he tweeted."It has been here all morning and seems to like burrowing behind my books and files even though the window is wide open for it."Other than the cold, I am rather enjoying its company."A Twitter user named @SunnyHavenfrm went on to respond to Monty's tweet, asking whether there's a chance he'll be working on a book about the Florentine gardens.Sadly, the TV star had to disappoint his fan, insisting that writing a book about the Florentine gardens was not part of his upcoming project."Don't hold your breath…" he said."(But wrote 'Great Gardens of Italy' 12 years ago, which does include a few Florentine gardens)."The father-of-three was referring to his 2011 BBC Two show Monty Don's Italian Gardens.In the four-part series, Monty travelled through Italy as he travelled to find the most significant gardens."I've seen the astonishingly grand gardens of Rome, made by cardinals," Monty said on the programme.For over two decades, Monty has written a string of gardening books, including The Complete Gardener, Paradise Gardens, The Jewel Garden and Gardening at Longmeadow.His most recent book release was 2020's My Garden World, the same year he would release American Gardens.The Chelsea Flower Show star made his highly anticipated return to BBC Two earlier this month with the premiere of his new show

Gardeners' World presenter Monty Don has taken to Twitter to address the future of his BBC shows following the news that the BBC licence fee is set to be frozen at £159 for the next two years.The presenter of Monty Don's Adriatic Gardens, 66, explained that his shows are now "less likely" to be made in the face of the freeze after Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries announced the changes yesterday.In view of his 246,800 followers, the star explained what the licence fee freeze meant for the future of his programmes.Monty wrote: "Although there is a debate to be had over the extent and duration of the licence fee, the government freeze will save payers the grand sum of 15 pence per week over the coming year."However it will mean that programmes like Adriatic Gardens will be much less likely to be made," he warned his fans.Following the news, many of the horticulturalist's followers took to the comments to weigh in on the news.Jo Mirzoeff told the gardening star: "Adriatic Gardens is an absolute joy and worth the licence fee all on its own."While Jo and Sky Woodhouse commented: "I think that will be a tragedy and it’s the thin end of the wedge, it’s not just the wonderful tv, like your Adriatic series, but also the radio, think of Radio 4 for example."Joyce Jordan chipped in: "I would rather pay the licence fee than risk losing quality programmes like Adriatic Gardens."And many other shows I love on the BBC especially GW." (sic)Jo Barlow added: "Which is a tragedy as Adriatic Gardens is just a delight x."Joseph Wicks replied saying: "That would be a great shame. Loving Adriatic gardens and all the BBC does.

Monty Don, 66, has uploaded a new picture to Instagram, where he enjoys a following of 979,000, as he showed off his scenic garden. Along with the snap, the Gardeners’ World star included a “warning”.The photograph featured the outline of his neatly trimmed trees against a bright pink sky.He captioned the image: “Shepherd’s warning."The saying Monty made reference to - “Red sky in the morning, shepherds warning” - means the good weather has passed ahead of a low-pressure system coming in.Fans of the horticulturist and broadcaster promptly took to the post’s comment section as they discussed the meaning behind the phrase.Twitter user, Sunshine.love.smilesandpaws commented: “Spectacular photo! You need an exhibition of your art.”Sillymilliedog said: “That is such an amazing sky! Fantastic shot.“Just looked this up as I’ve never heard the saying.

BBC Director General Tim Davie has said yesterday’s licence fee settlement will leave the public broadcaster with a shortfall of £285M ($390M) in 2027/2028 and needing to save around $1.5BN (£2.1BN) across the next five years.

Monty assured viewers that the Mediterranean climate is not an essential part of recreating an Italian garden at home.Carol said: “Italian design is really big on unity, which is the repetition of materials and shapes, the simplicity makes the design bolder and more calming.“The use of natural materials celebrates the beauty of controlled nature through evergreens, water and stone.“There is really strong symmetry in the design of the space, which might be mirrored with just one line of symmetry running down the centre or can be more complex where it folds on itself in 90 and 180 degree angles.”She reassured fans that there were ways to recreate the Mediterranean feel without having the necessary climate to match.She explained that the process involves using evergreens as low hedges for a low maintenance garden.In full, the expert said: “To create the feel in the UK we can borrow the idea of using evergreens as low hedges to borders or to create topiary notes combined with coloured gravels to create a rain permeable low maintenance garden.”Carol added that eye-catching features such as pools or plinth bases were helpful for creating the Italian feel.
