Has Sheila Ferguson found love in The Real Marigold Hotel?
Widowed singer Sheila Ferguson is shocked to be asked out on a date in the third episode of The Real Marigold Hotel  The only singleton among The Real Marigold Hotel celebrities is Sheila Ferguson, and shes already talked about how shes coped living alone in Majorca since her partner Jon Curry died eight years ago and hasn't dated since. "I havent dated in eight years," admitted Sheila. "Being on your own is strange and I know its time to make a change, however Im going to be very picky, because Im a picky person!" Things start to look promising in the final episode of The Real Marigold Hotel in two weeks' time (BBC1, Wednesday March 8, 9pm) when Sheila unexpectedly finds herself asked on a date by a rich Indian widower. It happens when the Real Marigold celebrities go out for an evening at an exclusive yacht club and Sheila is approached by widowed Mohan, who owns a construction firm that builds boutique hotels. After the pair bond over being single in their respective countries, Mohan asks Sheila: "Would you consider someone who builds boutique hotels to be your companion?" Admiring his directness, Sheila agrees. "Hes got a lovely warm face," said Shelia. "Lets see if he calls and well take it from there." Mohan, 58, added: "I thought Sheila was very friendly, nice and easy to talk to, which is so important." Well, Mohan did call and things went so well between them that Sheila is continuing to see him six months after she finished filming the show last September! "Im not giving away too much on how its going or how much hes visiting. Hes in the US now as his daughter lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. My daughter Alex interrogated him before he properly took me out, though!" Cupid strikes: Sheila and Mohan got on amazingly well at the Yacht Club  Also, in the next Real Marigold episode, Sheila's more open than ever about her bereavement. "I was starring in the West End musical Fame when the manager came into my dressing room and said: 'Jons dead!' I couldnt take it in, and just sat down on the sofa and blew out tears. I felt so alone." On returning from India, the singer admitted her life had changed somewhat. "India has made me chill out," said Sheila, who had huge hits including When Will I See You Again and Woman in Love with her soul group The Three Degrees. "My daughter Alex said to me, 'Mum, youve changed. Youre not hyper, crazy and all over the place!' For her to notice it too was interesting." Sheila appeared on Im a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! in 2004, but despite a life in the public eye  including a high-profile friendship with Prince Charles in the 1970s  Sheila says shes lived a lonely life in Majorca since Jon passed away. After her Real Marigold experience, though, shes making big changes. "The show has made me address growing older. Ive been living alone for so long, but its not healthy. I need to be around people and to integrate more, so Ive decided Im moving back to England." "Alex and I looked at some properties, but were dealing with Divadom here and Im only prepared to live one level down from the Taj Mahal!" she laughed. "Im not sure I would consider living there, though, not unless I get married again anyway and companionship is what Im looking for. Well see"  The Real Marigold Hotel continues on BBC1 on Wednesdays at 9pm
