Would you stay in a relationship with someone who has 'let themself go'?

Would you stay in a relationship with someone who has 'let themself go'? A man has written into an agony aunt column about his fiancé no longer making an effort to look good.

First up, Qasa gets a round-up of the latest news with reporter Poonam Taneja. After that, Qasa discusses the reports that Gary Lineker has welcomed a refugee to stay in his home with the co-founder of the charity Refugees at Home, Sara Nathan. 

For the main discussion Qasa asks, would you stay in a relationship with someone who has 'let themself go'? It's after a man has written into an agony aunt column about his fiancé no longer making an effort to look good and is questioning whether to stay with her. Later, Qasa explores the effects social media is having on people in their 20s and how it's affecting their mental health. 

Plus, sports reporter Ankur Desai will be live from Wembley Stadium alongside the Chair of the charity Kick It Out, Sanjay Bhandari to talk about their latest findings on incidents of racism in football. Finally, Qasa is joined by three women for the 'Ladies First' panel, where they will discuss same-sex dance couples on Strictly Come Dancing and Pakistan banning dating apps.
