University of Amsterdam say women like divorced men

Researchers from the University of Amsterdam believe the reason for the women find these men attractive is that they now see divorce as a sign that a man can commit - at least for a little while. Women are also growing increasingly impatient with the crop of younger men who prefer to date a series of women they meet online rather than settle down with one woman they love. They also feel heartened if a man is already a father - not least because there is living proof of his fertility. It seems single women are willing to ignore fading looks and the emotional and financial baggage that comes with having children in favour of dependability and guaranteed virility. And for the divorced dads out there, the world is their oyster. The number of 25 to 45-year-olds living alone has doubled over the past two decades, and twice as many single women buy properties as men.

How Jeremy Kyle's life is every bit as bizarre as his show

The Jeremy Kyle Show, which has been running since 2005, throws a lurid spotlight onto the failings of its guests - who are all treated to a lecture from its rather sanctimonious host about where they've been going wrong in life.
