At last, some election passion...love triangle of sex-change candidate and lesbian lovers. And who do they represent? The Liberal Democrats, of course

Lib Dem love triangle of sex-change candidate and lesbian lovers

Zoe O'Connell (left), 37, is bidding to become Britain's first transgender MP. She lives in a three-way lesbian relationship with her two canvassers Sarah Brown (centre) and Sylvia Knight (right). Her two lovers, Ms Brown, 41, and Ms Knight, 39, were once a straight married couple - when Ms Brown was a man. The two are now in a civil partnership. When Miss O'Connell, who has three children, was a man, he split from his wife in 2005. She met transsexual Ms Brown online later that year and struck up a friendship. After marrying when she was a man, Ms Brown's sex change had forced her to divorce Ms Knight - because the law then prevented marriage between two women. But the couple were still in a relationship and living together. Ms Brown eventually told Ms Knight about Miss O'Connell - and was amazed when her partner welcomed the idea of a three-way relationship. The women have lived in a three-bedroom home in Cambridge for the past seven years.

How to wear summer's RED-HOT trend

Shops are full of red dresses this year, so should you be tempted to trade in your LBD for an LRD? It's a colour that radiates energy and sexiness, but that can all be wrecked if the style doesn't suit you.
