DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN a naughty fling with a married woman turned into an eight-year-long affair, I realised I was wasting my life. 

But I didn’t seem capable of ending the relationship and walking away. 

Being with her was too intoxicating, and the sex was too good. In addition, the belief she would finally leave her husband kept me there.

I’m 32 and she’s 41. 

I wrote to you, asking for help, Deidre. How could I break the cycle?

You told me my lover was having her cake and eating it – which was hard to hear, but fair. 

You were right: there was no incentive for her to leave her husband when she had me whenever she wanted.

You suggested I give her an ultimatum and recommended I talk to someone impartial. You also gave me your support pack, Your Lover Not Free.

Since writing to you, I’ve told my lover we needed to go our separate ways. 

It was difficult, and I’ve felt sad and missed her, but I know it was the right thing. 

I’m now free to meet someone who wants me and only me. Thank you, Deidre.

DEIDRE SAYS: You need strength to leave a lover, but once you have, life is so much freer and better. Well done.

This will mark the first time that either sister has appeared in Towie since 2021.

A source said: “Demi and Frankie surprised everyone by showing up to shoot the finale.

“They’re big Towie names so the cast were happy to have them back.

“They love the show but whether this means a permanent return for Demi and Frankie is an ongoing discussion.

“They’re busy with House of Sims and are about to start filming season three so watch this space!”

In 2022, Demi confirmed that she, Frankie and older sister Chloe had all quit the ITVBe series.

Taking to her Instagram stories, the star wrote: “I would like to officially confirm the rumours and the recent press is true.

“Myself, Chloe and Frankie collectively came together to resign and depart from our roles on The Only Way Is Essex before this current series started production.

“I would like to say a big thank you to our loyal fans for all the support you have given us over the years.

“You have made the experience truly remarkable and we can’t thank you enough for being on this journey.”

Previously, The Sun told how the sisters were involved in a feud with older sibling Chloe.

It came after the trio relocated to the US to film their family reality show House of Sims.

As Chloe‘s star in particular continued to rise Stateside, cracks started to form in her relationship with her sisters.

An insider exclusively told The Sun: “Chloe has been making big waves in the US but the same can’t be said for Frankie and Demi.

“It’s caused a divide which has definitely thrown the show into chaos though it could make for great TV.”

The Sun also told how Demi and Frankie had returned to Essex following the fall-out.

Meanwhile, Chloe and their brother Charlie remained in Los Angeles.

The Only Way Is Essex airs on ITVBe.

THE world’s biggest illegal streaming operation has been shut down after major action by police and a leading anti-piracy group.

Fmovies and other sites linked to the piracy ring attracted more than 6.7billion visits between January 2023 and June 2024, according to the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE).

The anti-piracy coalition is backed by some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including Netflix, Disney, Universal and Amazon.

Police in Vietnam arrested two men in connection with the ring but have yet to be charged, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Bflixz, Flixtorz, Movies7 and Myflixer are also part of the illegal consortium that have been closed, as well as video hosting provider Vidsrc.to and its affiliated sites.

“The takedown of Fmovies is a stunning victory for casts, crews, writers, directors, studios, and the creative community across the globe,” said Charles Rivkin, Chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association and Chairman of ACE.

“With the leadership of ACE and the partnership of the Ministry of Public Security and the Hanoi Municipal Police, we are countering criminal activity, defending the safety of audiences, reducing risks posed to tens of millions of consumers, and protecting the rights and livelihoods of creators.”

The operation was launched back in 2016 and attracts nearly 374million visits a month.

At the height of its popularity in 2023, Fmovies ranked 280th of all websites globally.

It also came 11th in the TV, Movies & Streaming category, according to data from SimilarWeb.

Speaking to Variety, Rivkin said “we took down the mothership here”.

“There was a time when piracy was Whac-a-Mole…

“Today, we go after piracy at its root.”

It comes as anti-piracy groups step up their efforts against illegal streaming schemes.

In the UK, there have been a number of arrests against individuals running sites or selling modified Fire Sticks with access to premium channels like Premier League sport.

Two Brit brothers were sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison for running an illegal streaming ring that allegedly gave thousands of households cheap access to premium services.

Amir Butt, 56, was yesterday sentenced to seven years, after allegedly failing to appear in court.

While his brother Ammar Hussain, 39, was sentenced to four years.

The pair, from Ilford, east London, were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud over a seven-year period between August 2012 and March 2019.

DEAR DEIDRE: MY friendship group turned on me, and I felt so hurt, betrayed and angry.

Now one of them wants to be mates again but I don’t know if I can trust her.

I’m 16 and my three friends are too. We’ve hung around together since we started secondary school. 

But a few weeks ago, one of them started chatting about me behind my back, telling lies about what I’d said about her boyfriend.

The others believed her and stopped talking to me, even my best mate. 

Now she’s realised that the first girl was lying and she’s said she’s so sorry. She wants everything to go back to normal. 

Should I forgive her?

DEIDRE SAYS: Sadly, friends do sometimes grow apart or fall out, and groups don’t always last. 

It sounds like your best mate has realised she was wrong and wants to make amends. 

If you care about her, it’s worth talking to her and giving her a second chance. 

Tell her how upset you are and ask her to explain why she believed your other friend over you.

My support pack, Rows With Friends, should help.
