Sinitta has revealed she has become a pastor and is planning to have her breast implants removed after finding love with her mystery boyfriend. The 62-year-old I'm A Celebrity star, who shot to fame in the 1980s, boasted about her 'great' sex life, her spirituality, and how she has finally 'found someone who makes me happy' in a wide-ranging interview.
Sinitta's Spiritual Journey
Sinitta told Closer magazine: 'I'm big on spirituality which I know isn't sexy. Not a lot of people know, but I'm a pastor. It's got me through hardships and given me an inner confidence.' The popstar insisted church 'isn't for goody two-shoes' and aspired to be 'the black Helen Mirren in a bikini – having the amazing life, the gorgeous lover, great sex in my sixties, seventies and eighties'.
Plans for Breast Implant Removal
Elsewhere in the interview, Sinitta spoke of her plans to remove her breast implants as she credited her new partner with helping her embrace her 'real self'. The singer, who has two children Magdalena, 20, and Zac, 19, whom she adopted with ex-husband Andy Willner, said the decision to have a boob job was a 'childish' decision when she was young. She said while the surgery gave her a boost at the time, she doesn't feel she needs it anymore as her new partner has helped her embrace who she really is.
Sinitta said: 'I just want to be me in every way, right down to my body. I'm looking at my breast implants thinking, "I don't want this". I'm slowly undoing all the things I thought were making me feel better. I've reached a level of happiness which is about acceptance, where someone makes you feel that you're enough.'
Finding Love After Heartache
The television personality admitted she yearned to find 'my person' after watching fellow I'm A Celebrity star Harry Redknapp talk about the love for his wife Sandra on The Piers Morgan Show. Back in January, Sinitta revealed she had split from her boyfriend after two years of dating. She wrote at the time: 'There is nothing wrong with starting the year single. Being alone is also a gift. Time to reflect, learn and grow peacefully and in your own time. Some relationships are not meant to be forever in the same mode, they turn into friendships and some fade to pleasant memories. Don't be afraid to be alone, embrace it and celebrate you. Release and be released with peace and love and best intentions for each other.'
Past Relationship with Simon Cowell
The singer famously dated music mogul Simon Cowell, 66, in the 80s when she was signed to his label, Fanfare Records. Sinitta famously quit Celebs Go Dating in 2022 after failing to find love on the show. During her stint, Sinitta hit out at the show for their 'disgraceful editing' which stated she is 'still in love' with her on-off ex-boyfriend of 20 years Simon Cowell. Sinitta met the music boss when she was just 14, and went on to become the first signing to his record label - and she has previously admitted that she loves him 'with all her heart'.
She took to Twitter to complain of her upset after watching the instalment of the E4 reality dating show last week. 'Disgraceful editing!', she wrote to her 132,000 followers. 'To say I was still "in love" with @SimonCowell was a huge disservice to me and my endeavors. Why did you do this? Love and "in Love" are very different @CelebsGoDating @awilliamsonTV @PaulCBrunson #iTrustedYou.'
Earlier this year, Sinitta exclusively spoke to Daily Mail about her relationship with Simon over the years, admitting that she experienced heartache when he 'broke their secret pact' by dating her 'best friend' Lauren Silverman in 2013. She believed the pair would be re-kindling their romance around the same time. The singer famously dated the music mogul in the 80s when she was signed to his label, Fanfare Records, but has now confessed she 'wanted to still be with him' into the early 2010s and 'genuinely thought they were working things out'.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Mail, she added that she's accepted it was 'unrequited love'. The TV personality said of her hopes for a future with Simon: 'It was about 10 years ago and yeah I was wanting to still be with him then, yes. So that was upsetting and… unrequited love but I'm not gonna kill myself over it. It was kind of on and off, on and off, so there was kind of an unspoken understanding that was obviously a misunderstanding on my part but it's ok. I'm not the villain cos I genuinely thought we were working things out and that's why it was upsetting but that's life, right?'
