Loose Women's Carol McGiffin on why she's having the best sex of her life

Remember Carol McGiffin moaning about her seven-year sex drought? Well what a difference a year makes.
Now, bursting with love for her 27-year-old toyboy, the Loose Woman boasts she’s having the best sex of her life.
“Of course I am. Unbelievably after all this time!” she declares, grinning at boyfriend Mark Cassidy, who is 22 years her junior. “He’s sitting here so I’m hardly going to say otherwise, but I am!”
And she’s showing no signs of calming down the partying she’s famous for. This month she was pictured flashing drag queens and snogging Mark at a Loose Women party.
Getting back in the saddle has given 49-year-old Carol a lot to smile about. “It’s not just because he’s young, it’s because he’s Mark,” she adds.
“We made up for lost time early on and we still are! We do it enough – quite a lot in fact. Sometimes life gets in the way but on holiday it was more often. There’s no rush – I went seven years without!”

Jim Carrey & Jenny McCarthy: Their No-Regrets Love

Announcing their breakup over Twitter on April 6, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy expressed mutual admiration. He wished her the best; she vowed to "always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart."



Talk about a sideshow! While catching a tennis match at the 2006 U.S. Open, the comedian makes his girl crack up. "Our dynamic is great," she told PEOPLE. "I'm very, very happy. It's a lot of laughing."


Carrey holds tight to his lady while walking the red carpet at the L.A. premiere of Yes Man in December '08.

Snuggling on a sandy Hawaiian beach, McCarthy and Carrey watch the sun set during a tropical getaway in June '07. "We like to sit and do nothing," she said. "Stare at the ocean and go 'ohhmmm.'"


It can't get more intimate than this: The funny pair give the cameras a show on a Malibu beach July 4, 2008 – with Carrey squeezing into McCarthy's sexy swimsuit.

With her then-5-year-old son Evan, the trio make a happy bunch at the Horton Hears a Who premiere in March '08 – a few months after McCarthy published her memoir, Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism. "Beyond doubt it was written in the stars that Jim and Evan were a pair," she wrote of her son (with ex-husband John Asher).

McCarthy and Carrey – whom she's called the "autism whisperer" – lead the "Green Our Vaccines" march and rally in Washington in June '08. "He taught me how to love," Carrey said of McCarthy's son. "And without Evan I might never have seen the greatness of Jenny's spirit."

Carrey and McCarthy first took their love publicin June 2006 – even holding hands at an L.A. Radiohead show. They "were having so much fun," a concertgoer told PEOPLE. "It was like you were watching a romantic comedy."


The couple and 7-year-old Evan show that it's all about teamwork while in Maui, Hawaii, in July '09. But when it comes to McCarthy and Evan, Carrey's admitted, "I'm a pushover."

Fresh from their beachside cuddle, the couple – who both committed to never remarrying – make it a night out at a West Hollywood party. "I don't need that piece of paper of commitment to prove my love," she told PEOPLE

Carrey and daughter Jane turn out to support McCarthy's autism organization, Generation Rescue, at a July '08 event in L.A. The next year, it's McCarthy who throws Jane a baby shower before the arrival of son Jackson (with hubby Alex Santana).

Just months before their breakup, McCarthy and Carrey spread cheer on the road at the world premiere of the comedian's new movie, A Christmas Carol, in London in November '09.

More than just a wedding date: The duo take a Roman holiday for Tom Cruise and KatieHolmes's star-studded nuptials in November '06.

McCarthy and Carrey seemed very much a team while cohosting a charity poker event in Miami in February. But just two months later, he Tweeted, "I'm grateful 4 the many blessings we've shared and I wish her the very best! S'okay!"
