Inside Dua Lipa’s personal third album where she opens up about dating and finding out whether a lover is ‘real or not’

DUA LIPA’s upcoming third album is set to tell her story of dating in the spotlight before finding her current boyfriend, French director Romain ­Gavras.

Speaking on US radio, Dua said: “It’s more the ­different feelings and ­emotions you have throughout the period of being single.

“It’s also understanding. You understand what you want and what you need and what you deserve.

“It goes from the phase of figuring out ­singledom into potentially a new relationship.

“Then it’s early days and getting to see the truth behind someone – whether they are real or not. Or who they are.”

Dua has been dating Romain since the start of the year and was ­previously in a relationship with model Anwar Hadid.

Speaking earlier this month on Capital, Dua said her upcoming record, which she has not revealed a title for, is “vulnerable” and “honest”.

The Levitating singer said: “The more that I write, the more that I’m in the studio, the more confident I get in my craft, and being vulnerable and honest and not being afraid to put myself on blast.”

DJ Vern bakes a leg in run

TWO days into his Children In Need ultra-marathon and Radio 2 star Vernon Kay had his very own Rocky Balboa moment as he ran through Bakewell in Derbyshire last night.

Vern got a hero’s welcome as he headed into the final leg of his 40-mile day which marked the end of the hilliest part of his 110-mile route.

Speaking on the move, Vernon said he’d been handed bakewell tarts to fuel his journey, adding: “We’ve got several, we’re saving then until later. A lovely lady just handed me a flask of hot vegetable soup I don’t know how I’ll get it back to her.”

Vernon is fighting through pain to complete the epic challenge, admitting: “The left leg’s been alright it’s the right leg that has been playing up.”

He went straight into an ice bath when he finished up last night ahead of the third leg of his journey which will see him making his way to Manchester today.

I’m in total awe of Vernon.

Never has a man been more deserving of a proper pint.
