Strictly Come Dancing head make-up artist Lisa Armstrong has been recorded in a preview for a new makeover show.
The ex-wife of Ant McPartlin, 42, re-tweeted the clip from the so far untitled makeover show on JetTV to her 143,000 followers, of her showing a young woman how to use eyelash curlers and to do her makeup – before dishing out some dating advice for a blind date.
Lisa laughed: “This is going to be a right old carry-on isn’t it? Because I’m going to come at you with a contraption and you’re going to be like ‘get away from me!'”

She added: “Do you trust me? Because I don’t trust myself, I am having a hot flush.”
Dating experts then joined the duo as they discussed the young woman’s love life – where she claimed she once discussed having hairy nipples on a first date.
Dishing out some well-needed advice, Lisa responded: “No, I don’t think that’s a good look, love.”

It has been suggested that Lisa’s long term friend, Simon Cowell, has “promised to put some work her way when she is back in LA.”
A source told Closer magazine: “She’s heartbroken about losing her job, but she wants to start the New Year on a high.”
The insider also claimed to the publication that Lisa is planning meetings for potential career opportunities.
It is also claimed that Lisa believes Los Angeles is a place “where she can enjoy the sun and practice some much-needed self-care, living a healthy lifestyle.”

It started out great, then the drinks kept coming – Toronto Star
Jimmy is 33, lives downtown, and works in the food industry. He says “I’m a pretty artistic guy who you could classify as a total hipster.” Jimmy says “I’m in love with coffee, I love thrift store shopping, I love craft breweries. I ride a fixie. I play indie music and love checking out up-and-coming bands in Toronto.” Jimmy used to live in a smaller city, and says that dating in Toronto is easier. “Being here has really opened me up to meeting a variety of different people.” He adds “Being single in Toronto can be hard. The loneliness can kick in, and all you want is someone to talk to about your day.”
Kristin wasn’t just any date for me: she was someone I met through friends, instead of a dating app. She was very pretty and very friendly. With the apps, you’re not required to invest time in your profile, personalizing it or making it more in-depth. They give you too many choices. I thought this date with Kristin would be a more “serious” date, with a higher standard.

Nikki Bella is now dating 'DWTS' pro Artem Chigvintsev after splitting from John Cena – AOL
Off the market! Nikki Bella is moving on after ending her engagement and six-year relationship withJohn Cena in April 2018. Bella is dating her former Dancing With the Starspartner Artem Chigvintsev, a source exclusively reveals to Us Weekly.
The professional wrestler, 35, and the ballroom dancer, 36, have been seeing each other “for a while,” the insider tells Us.
Bella appeared on the dance competition’s 25th season in 2017 and Cena, 41, also became close with Chigvintsev at the time. In fact, the Trainwreck actor once thought that the ABC star would choreograph his first dance with Bella.
“As far as dancing, I think he’s probably gonna teach me my first dance,” Cena told E! News in November 2017. “So hopefully I’ll be able to take those tips from him there.”
Bella supported Chigvintsev during Dancing With the Stars: Juniors tapings during the summer of 2018 and the pair have been spending a lot of time together since amid their busy schedules. The Russia native is currently on a national Dancing With the Stars: Live tour, but he was spotted with Bella at the farmer’s market in Studio City, California, over Christmas weekend during time off.
The new couple will also document their relationship on the upcoming fourth season of Total Bellas and the trailer, which aired on Thursday, January 3, showcases some of their dates. However, fans previously believed that the WWE star would pursue a relationship with The Bachelorette alumPeter Kraus, who she will also go on a date with in the new season.
Bella opened up to Us in December about dating again following her tumultuous split from Cena. “It’s hard being a single girl. Over the holidays, I’m really looking forward to wandering into some bars and being a single girl,” she said at the time.
Cena, for his part, exclusively told Us later that month that he is “grateful” for everything he’s learned through his breakup from the E! personality, including the “good times and bad times.”

10 Rules Of Casual Dating – What Is A Casual Relationship? – Women's Health
A girl’s got needs, and sometimes you just want to date and keep things casual. Sound familiar? Then you should know the rules of casual dating.
But first: What is a casual relationship? Sure, most people understand that casual dating means you’re not looking to marry the person, but what else is involved?
For starters, casual dating generally implies that you’re not planning to keep someone around long-term. The trick is making sure you’re both on the same page and each have the same expectations.
Now that you know the definition, you can ask yourself, “what’s the best way to pull off a casual relationship?” And “are there benefits of a casual relationship?”
Spoiler alert: Yes, there are benefits, and not-so-serious relationships are easier to navigate than you think. These casual dating tips will help.
1. Make sure everybody involved knows the score.
If you don’t want anything serious, it’s important that the person (or people) you’re dating know that. “Make it clear that you’re not looking for something serious from the beginning,” says Lindsey Metselaar, a relationship expert specializing in millennial dating as the host of the We Met at Acme podcast. “The other person then has the opportunity to say they aren’t interested in that, or to think it over and decide that they are.”
You don’t need to make a huge thing of it or even bring it up the first time you hang out, but clearly saying something like, “I like spending time with you, but I want to make sure you know that I’m not looking for anything serious right now” can go a long way.
2. You still need respect.
Casual dating still involves having a relationship with someone, and respect is important in any relationship: casual, serious, or somewhere in between. That means treating the person with the same kindness you’d treat any other human being—just without the commitment, says Metselaar.
3. Do what you damn well please.
Being in a relationship means you need to be willing to compromise, check in often, and generally spend a solid chunk of your time caring about what your S.O. needs. But with casual dating, you don’t need to do any of that. “You can come and go as you please with little accountability,” says Rosalind Sedacca, a dating and relationship coach, and author of 99 Things Women Wish They Knew Before Dating After 40, 50, & Yes, 60!.
4. Keep a few people in your mix.
You can casually date just one person at a time if that’s all you feel like you can handle, but one of the perks of this whole thing is that you’re not tied to conventional relationship standards, says psychotherapist Tina B. Tessina, Ph.D., author of How to Be a Couple and Still Be Free.
So, don’t be afraid to see a few people at once. “It’s okay to casually date more than one person,” she says. “Expectations are minimal.”
5. No possessiveness, please.
If you happen to see on social media that your casual date is seeing other people, you need to be cool with it, says Metselaar. The same is true for them with your dating life. And, if you start to notice that someone you’re seeing is getting possessive, shut it down real quick. There’s no place for that in casual dating.
6. Don’t make future plans beyond a few days.
If you want someone to hang with on Saturday night, it’s totally okay to make plans a day or two in advance. But anything more than that is getting into relationship territory. “It’s important to really live in the moment, knowing that the moment may be all you have because they may meet someone they want to date seriously,” says Metselaar. Also, you can easily meet someone else before you see them again, and you don’t want to be tied to plans you suddenly don’t want to keep.
7. Focus on other stuff in your life.
Relationships take up a ton of mental energy and, oh hey, you’re not dealing with one right now! Use that energy you would have spent on a relationship and put it toward work, school, or just doing whatever else you’re into. “Casual dating gives you a social, and perhaps sexual outlet, without creating demands on your time and emotions,” says Tessina.
8. Personal favors are a no-go.
That means you call someone else when you plan to move or need someone to watch your cat while you’re out of town. “Casual relationships don’t have those kinds of expectations,” says Tessina. “It’s confusing to ask.” Also, you don’t want to need to do that kind of stuff for them, so…
9. Don’t take them as your plus one.
Weddings and parties are for meeting new people to casually date—not bringing someone you’re not invested in to interact with your friends and family. Go solo to these events. “This way your friends and family won’t begin identifying you as a committed couple, and your date won’t get the idea that you’re intending to incorporate them into your friends and family,” says Tessina.
10. End it like a grownup.
If you’re no longer into someone, even casually, you can do one of two things: Stop asking them to do stuff and hope they go away (and they might), or tell them you’re just not feeling it anymore when they say they want to hang out. “Honesty is the best policy,” says Tessina. Given that this wasn’t a huge thing, you can even respond to an invite with a text that says something along the lines of, “I’ve really enjoyed spending time with you lately, but I think this has run its course.” Anything is better than ghosting someone—that’s just mean.
Really, almost anything goes when it comes to casual dating. “Casual dating has few rules beyond politeness,” says Tessina. And if you just can’t with a serious relationship right now, it’s definitely a great option for you.
