Wow she's just done a live, she's in North Yorkshire at the minute staying there until after the isolation is over with, with "someone special". This special someone lives in North Yorkshire, so she's staying with him as its 1&1/2 hour drive from newcastle. He's South African, he's 36 and makes her very happy. They met not long after she finished with Lee, and met through match.com, she liked his photo and he messaged her and they've spoke ever since. (Sounds familiar).
Neil has a girlfriend! An older woman who works in a hospital and has 2 older children. They still live together so still have that house together but they just live as friends.
She's on better terms with her mum, but her mum still wont meet her new man, she didn't take it well they both met other people, she's took the split really badly.
She really does seem genuinely happy and it was nice to hear her say she was happy for Neil. He's with someone similar to his age, and so is Elaine. I do think this has been the best thing for both of them and hope it works for them! It sounds like she's really grown up too.
