Different in person to how you might imagine – insightful instead of goofy, reserved instead of egocentric and softly-spoken instead of boisterous – the 36-year-old allowed us to see the darker side to what has been previously portrayed as her bubbly public persona. Speaking exclusively to Daily Star Online, the former X Factor judge also opened up on her battle with bulimia and how she's embarking on a new chapter of her  LIFE .

Fifa has suspended the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) with immediate effect over allegation of “government interference” following its emergency meeting on Wednesday. The football governing body waited 24 hours after its earlier issued Tuesday deadline to the country over the illegal dissolution of the Aminu Maigari-led NFF board. The Super Eagles were dumped out of the World Cup by France in the Round of 16, but after the tournament a court order forced the sports minister to place a senior civil servant in charge of the NFF owing to counter allegations. During the suspension, no teams from Nigeria – including club sides – can compete with other nations, even in friendly matches.

Fergus and Judith Wilson's properties spread through M20 corridor in Kent Mrs Wilson calls them her 'babies' and says she'll miss them Ex-teachers rode property wave of early Noughties Now dogged by complaining tenants and court cases  Wending through the sapling-lined streets of a soulless suburban housing estate, Judith Wilson gestures towards a row of identical, yellow-brick semis, each with a neatly-trimmed hedge and postage-stamp lawn.  ‘Number 23 is ours, over there,’ she tells me, ‘and numbers 25 and 27. Then we have all the ones on that side of the road — numbers 38, 42, 46 and 48 . . .’ ‘Yes, we own 22 homes on this particular estate,’ her bulky husband, Fergus, interjects from the passenger seat of their secondhand Land Rover .  ‘We bought them off-plan in 2003, and by the time we took possession we’d already made £27,000 on each one, which is a profit of £594,000, I think you’ll find. Not a bad bit of business, was it?’ Ex-teachers F

The  Governor  of Lagos State, Raji Fashola has condemned the actions of some military men who took to Ikorodu express road yesterday at Palmgroove to burn BRT buses, beat up  DRIVERS  and even innocent Lagosians who were going about their normal day-to-day activities.   The Governor frowned at their action and says he wonders why public servants who are being paid with tax payers’ money should destroy government property and get involved in such illicit act. “ As far  I know, if  something  happens to you while you are conducting an unlawful act it is a criminal offence ” , Fashola said.

Spanish mayor Manuel Onieva has demanded a police investigation after footage apparently showing a British tourist (right) performing sex acts on more than 20 men was uploaded to the internet. The clip, which lasts more than a minute, shows the girl performing the acts on a crowded dancefloor while music plays in the background. Twitter users have reacted angrily to the footage, branding it 'disgusting', 'vile' and 'sickening'.

Cats usually make good pets but as this shocking footage shows, it's best to make sure that they are domestic rather than big cats. This lioness is thought to have been raised from a cub by its owners, likely in France, and has free rein in the guest house home. A documentary crew is interviewing the big cat's owner when it suddenly runs into the living room and launches itself at an unsuspecting guest there.

Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has said that Nigeria is suffering greater carnage at the hands of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, than it did during the country’s 30-month civil war. Soyinka, however, said the Boko Haram insurgency had made the country’s break-up less likely. He said this in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Soyinka said the horrors inflicted by the Boko Haram insurgents had shown Nigerians across the mostly Muslim north and Christian south that sticking together might be the only way to avoid even greater sectarian slaughter. Nigeria fought a bloody civil war between 1967 and 1970 to stop the secession attempt by the Igbo of the present South-East zone.

toure Ivory Coast’s Yaya Toure feels that African sides are looked down upon in world football.

In a telephone chat, Muntari’s father, who doubles as the leader of the Hausa community in Dofa, says “it’s a shame the incident occurred at all,” and it shouldn’t have assuming Sulley listened to his warnings before leaving for the team left for U.S.A for their pre World Cup schedules.

It’s Genevieve Nnaji . The Nollywood superstar in an interview with Anna Okon for Punch Newspaper dished on fame, acting and why she is rarely seen on the big screen. On the dedication to her craft: “I have respected myself as an artiste. I think the success stems from the fact that I have given acting my all. I have not deviated from the realisation that all I ever wanted to do was act. It’s hard to tell, what I would do differently if I were to do it all over. The fact is, I can’t imagine my life any other way.”

  Dr. Tammy Danagogo , the Minister of Sports and Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC) says that head coach of the Super Eagles Stephen Keshi has not reigned. In a statement released the minister said, “It is not true that Keshi has resigned. He told me that he never said so, that his contract only expired. I expect the NFF to the needful.” According to Channels Television , the minister says Keshi should be treated with some respect by the football administrators, who should first discuss the matter of his contract with him before making it a press issue. Keshi also refutes the reports saying that he only told players that the match against France may be his last with them as his contract had expired with the World Cup.
