Cheeky Girl imposes sex ban on Lembit

Cheeky Girls star Gabriela Irimia has imposed a sex ban on her fiancé Lembit Opik.

The singer is suffering from kidney stones, and a three-month course of drugs has failed to solve the problem. She will travel out to her home country of Romania next week to be operated on by her father, who works as a doctor, before getting plenty of bed rest.

"Gabriela has been told that she has to lie down and not move for the next month," her mother Margaret told The Sun. "Doctors say sex is out of the question. She has even had to cancel her holiday with Lembit."

She added: "He's arranged a romantic cruise for when things are back to normal. I'm sure they'll make up for lost time then."
