Is 10 years too much to stand in the way of love?

How about 15?

Or even 31?

There’s nothing quite as heated as public opinion about age gaps – and if the new Netflix dating show, Age of Attraction , is anything to go by, it’s enough of a controversy to warrant an entire reality TV series .

With the show in mind, I turned to a recent story in the headlines , that of former Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys and his lawyer wife, Lucie Rose – who’s 31 years his junior.

He is 68, she is 37; yet the pair seem deliriously happy, despite a pretty murky start to their relationship.

I wrote about my own conflicting feelings about their relationship here – but would be fascinated to hear yours.

I, personally, can’t say with a clear conscience that their age gap doesn’t bother me.

Not that it’s any of my business, of course.

Is it?

Are you worried by the manosphere?

Are your kids vaccinated against meningitis?

Do you feel comfortable talking about sex?

Do you want to reverse no fault divorces?

Do you WFH – or would you, if you could?

Were you shocked by the photos of Prince Andrew?

Will you be watching Melania Trump’s new movie?

Was Brooklyn Beckham right to air family row?

Is ‘autistic Barbie’ good for representation?

Is Reform UK a good alternative to Labour?
