DANNY CIPRIANI admitted he has no desire to “just have sex with anyone” anymore.
Danny Cipriani revealed his cravings for ‘sex with anyone’ have passed[/caption]
The former rugby star recently split from actress AnnaLynne McCord[/caption]
His long list of former partners includes Kelly Brook, Katie Price, Sophie Gradon, Kirsty Gallacher and Caroline Flack before tying the knot with Rose in 2021.
Tragically, both Gradon and Flack took their own lives and despite not being with either of them at the time, their deaths understandably took their toll on Cipriani.
But after long periods of processing his deep emotions and grief, he believes he is in a good place.
Cipriani – who retired from rugby last year – told The Times: “Caroline Flack’s death was one of the toughest moments for me.
“I was devastated. I spoke to my team-mates for an hour. I was crying.
“I stood up at the front and told everyone what I felt shameful about and all the things I was trying to hide, because we all share our pain.
“The gift she gave me was having to dive into my emotions in a way I hadn’t before. I hadn’t really cried or felt visceral feelings before.
“I had to suppress feelings. I had to take painkillers. There was so much going on in my life.
“Now, I’m completely happy in myself. I’m recognising that I don’t have a desire to take a painkiller or just have sex with anyone.
“When I was 22, I didn’t feel like tomorrow had any hope. It made me feel super-isolated and super-alone.
“Walking down the street, I’d see people look at me and that would make me automatically have negative thoughts in my mind.
“When I met my ex-wife, I was at the lowest point I’d been in my life. My value in myself was extremely low. I didn’t see myself in a loving light.

“I have dealt with grief by sitting with it and honouring it. You can’t avoid grief.
“When I was trying to run away from emotions or not feel certain things, they would come back up in a different way. So give yourself time to feel the discomfort and pain, and sit with it.”
In 2013, the then-Sale Sharks star was hit by a double-decker bus on a night out in Leeds and ended up in hospital but thankfully avoided critical injuries.
Cipriani said: “I remember the moment before I got hit by a bus. I was 25. When I looked to my left, it was there.
“My instinct was to jump — that’s probably why I survived the accident.
“It was very fortunate. God put his hand down to keep me on this earth.
“I spent two nights in a cell. It was a time to be with myself and refocus.
“My captain witnessed the whole thing. He told everyone, ‘I can’t believe what happened.’
“The whole team rallied behind me that year. It ended up being a really beautiful moment with my new team, and I got player of the season.”
Cipriani earned the first of his 16 England caps aged just 20 in 2008 but added that he is “happy” to be out of rugby as it has allowed his body to recover physically from relentless “discomfort”.
He cheerfully concluded: “It’s been awesome.”

The heartbreaking twist uncovers the full extent of April’s disappearance, and Marlon is left reeling as he grapples with the shock of her fate[/caption]
In a tense turn of events, Ross takes Marlon aside to remind him of the toll his actions are having on his family.
Encouraging Marlon to open up about his black eye, Ross learns that Marlon was tricked into handing over money and suffered the injury in the process.
Concerned for Marlon’s well-being, Ross urges him to focus on his family.
But it remains unclear whether Marlon will take the advice to heart.
When Marlon returns home, Rhona is shocked but relieved to hear from Ross that Marlon is planning to take a step back.
However, Marlon continues to deflect her questions about his eye, causing tension between them.
Rhona’s patience reaches its limit as Marlon insists on continuing the search for April.
The next day, Rhona, still shut out of Marlon’s struggles, pushes him to spend more time with Leo and Ivy to help mend their family.
Her suggestion sparks Marlon’s anger, leaving her devastated.
Meanwhile, Paddy urges Marlon to communicate with Rhona and open up about his feelings.
Will Marlon finally listen to his friend’s advice?
The arrival of PC Swirling brings a wave of dread to both Marlon and Rhona.
Their worst fears are realised when the officer asks them to sit before delivering the news that April has been found.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and is available from 7am on ITVX.
Soap's most harrowing teen storylines
We take a look at other harrowing teen soap storylines from soaps Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.
Belle Dingle’s schizophrenia in Emmerdale – Belle’s (Eden Taylor-Draper) traumatic journey in Emmerdale took a dark turn when, after accidentally killing her best friend Gemma at just 16, her mental health began to spiral.
The storyline, which saw Belle struggling with her grief and guilt, showcased her battle with hearing Gemma’s voice inside her head, leading to a dramatic decline in her well-being.
Hannah Ashworth’s anorexia in Hollyoaks – Viewers were horrified as they watched Hannah (Emma Rigby), a seemingly innocent teen, spiral into dangerous behavior, starving herself in an attempt to achieve what she thought was the ideal body.
As Hannah’s condition worsened, the storyline became more intense, culminating in her being hospitalised for two months as she fought for her life.
Bethany Platt’s grooming ordeal in Coronation Street – Vulnerable schoolgirl, played by Lucy Fallon, was at the centre of one of Corrie’s darkest storylines to date when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator.
The controversial scenes saw Nathan groom and manipulate the 16-year-old before coercing her into sleeping with his friends, with one of them raping her.
Whitney Dean’s abuse from Tony in EastEnders – Since the age of 12, she had been in a twisted relationship with her stepmum Bianca’s boyfriend, Tony King. The predator had groomed young Whit (Shona McGarty), making her believe she was in love and planning to run away with him.
On her 16th birthday, the traumatised teen finally revealed the years of abuse to Bianca. Tony was swiftly sent to prison sentenced for 13 years.

GLASTONBURY fans are desperate to know which stars are taking to the stage this year – with one Scottish rock act notably becoming a favourite.
Biffy Clyro are expected to return this year with a new album, four years since their last effort, The Myth of the Happily Ever After.

The Scottish group are heading out on tour this year[/caption]
And they’re already lined-up for a number of European festival appearances across the summer.
After it was announced they would be appearing at Glasgow’s TRNSMT Festival on July 12, fans took to Reddit to note that their tour does have space to appear at Glasto.
Taking to the site, one fan wrote: “Biffy have the headliner slot at TRNSMT and are touring some festivals in the summer. Would love to see them back at the farm! Thoughts?”
“Would be a brilliant other stage headliner. Think their catalogue is too big (and great) to not do a headline slot,” one replied.
“Could see a secret set slot or other stage headline this year if a new album is on the way, and then potentially making the jump to Headline the festival in 27/28? They’re surely capable of headlining outright now,” noted a second.
“Do Biffy have new music on the way? They’ve secured some incredible festival slots without releasing anything new for like 4 years,” wrote a third.
“I like them btw, almost their entire catalogue, it’s just quite unusual. An other headline would be great.”
Glastonbury is running from 25 to 29 June this year, with the official line-up still yet to be revealed in full.
They join The 1975, Stevie Wonder and Neil Young who are due to perform on the Pyramid Stage.
But it does fit in with Biffy’s announced availability, with the band kicking off performances in Europe, starting with Rock AM Ring on June 6 in Nuremberg, Germany.
They’ll then continue with performances in Czech Republic, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Austria before heading to Southside Festival which runs 20 to 22 June in Germany.
After that, there is no new announcements except for TRNSMT Festival.

LITTLE Britain legends David Walliams and Matt Lucas have reunited for a brand new comedy project together.
Matt, 50, and David, 53, shot to fame with their hit show over 20 years ago, and now they are set to work together again.

Matt and David shared a video to promote their new podcast[/caption]
In the short Instagram clip they joked about being ‘cancelled’[/caption]
The two comedians have revealed they are set to unleash their very first podcast together called, Making A Scene.
Taking to Instagram to announce their new project – which will see them chatting to their famous friends – the pair shared a clip revealing their big news.
At the start of the video, Matt and David started joking about how they were working together because they had both been “cancelled”.
The duo then went onto explain they were doing a podcast together where their star pals, like Jack Whitehall, Stephen Merchant and Richard E. Grant, will tell them funny stories from their lives.
Matt and David will then turn the celebrity‘s story into a scene from a movie.
The promo video was captioned with: “After 15 years, the legendary comedy duo Matt Lucas and David Walliams are finally reunited – with a brand new podcast… MAKING A SCENE.
“Join them twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays (from the 4th February) as they turn the lives of their famous friends into cinematic masterpieces, and tackle YOUR questions – no matter how awkward, bold, or outrageous – in bonus pod You Can’t Ask Me That!
“Follow for more updates and subscribe now on Spotify or your podcast app of choice.”
BECOMING A COMEDY DUO
Matt and David met at the National Youth Theatre in the early 90s and quickly bonded over their love of comedy and impressions.
One of their first collaborations was on Rock Profile, which started in 1999.
After other TV parts they finally made it big in 2003 with Little Britain, with the show running until 2009.
They also came together to write and star in Come Fly With Me, which ran from 2010 until 2011.
THE FALL OUT
The pair stopped working with each other in 2011, amid reports the friendship became strained.
Matt wrote in his autobiography about how tensions rose between the pair in 2005 during their epic Little Britain Live tour, leading to a spectacular fight backstage one night.
The latest big project the pair worked on was Come Fly With Me[/caption]
One particular disagreement over David’s facial hair during the tour turned into an all-out screaming match.
Matt explained they were “suddenly hurling obscenities at each other”.
Things then took a turn for the worse when David released his autobiography, Camp David, in 2012.
While promoting the book he was asked about his relationship with Matt on Radio 4, to which he replied: “We’re very different people and probably want different things and had different working methods.”
He added: “Well, it’s over for the time being. Whether it’s over forever I don’t know.”
The pair reunited in 2019 and have been friends ever since[/caption]
REUNITED
Much to fans’ delight the comedy duo reunited in 2019 after an eight-year feud, announcing that they were planning a “huge TV comeback”.
Matt and David finally started to work together again in 2019, creating a one-off special episode of Little Britain called Little Brexit which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4, where the show started in 2000.
Matt says: “I do get asked about Little Britain a lot but what I can say is that David and I are the very best of friends and we speak or exchange messages every single day.”

“At this early stage, the feedback from our veterinary team and the specialists is positive that we can look forward to seeing him return in the autumn.
“It is a huge blow for all involved and every care is being taken for one of our stable’s leading lights.
“We will update you on his recovery in due course.”
The seven-year-old was two from two over fences having won the Grade 2 John Francome Novices’ Chase at Newbury before following up in the Grade 1 Kauto Star at Kempton on Boxing Day.
He had been a 9-2 shot for the Brown Advisory on the Wednesday of the Festival.
The Jukebox Man being ruled out of the Brown Advisory means last year’s awesome Ballymore winner Ballyburn cements his position at the head of the market.
The Willie Mullins-trained novice was firmly put in his place by Nicky Henderson’s Sir Gino at Kempton over Christmas.
But the Closutton boss reckons the step up in trip will suit him – as it already does the new second-fav Dancing City, who Mullins also trains.
Redknapp watched on in agony at last year’s Festival when The Jukebox Man was chinned in the final stride of the Albert Bartlett by Stellar Story.
But his other horse, Shakem Up’Arry gave him a memorable first Festival winner in the Plate.

AXED Strictly tour star Wynne Evans was missing from his own birthday meal with the cast last night.

A source told The Sun: “The gang were keen to do something for Wynne’s birthday because he’s had a hard time.
“They organised a cake for him and everything, but he didn’t show up.
“Everyone had a great time anyway but it was really sad he didn’t join them, but now they know he has been axed, it all makes sense.”
Wynne came under fire for his crude remark to Strictly Live host Janette Manrara at the press launch earlier this month.
It was first thought he’d escaped with a final warning – but has since been sacked for his joke about having a threesome with professional dancer Janette, 41.
The Sun understands BBC Studios will be releasing a statement later today.
Wynne previously apologised after he was heard using the term “spit roast” to co-star Jamie Borthwick while standing beside Janette.
He said: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”
It’s the second scandal Wynne has been embroiled in during his Strictly journey.
He sparked controversy in the most recent series for appearing to touch pro partner Katya Jones inappropriately around her waist on live TV, before she moved his hand away.
A spokesman for Janette claimed she hadn’t heard the comment.
