CELEBRITY sex lives are not always something they like to shout about but it seems that memorable first time is the exception.
Over the years, many brazen stars have spilled the gory details of how they lost their virginity.

From one star who managed to last all of 30 seconds to a future Hollywood hard man who was caught with his pants down, there’s no shortage of hilarious virginity tales.
And if a new Channel 4 show is any indication, we are set to get even more.
The network has been given the green light to produce a show with a bunch of singletons who have never had sex.
The catch is that they must do it on camera and share all the juicy details with the world.
The Intimacy Retreat – formerly known as Virgin Island – will feature the participants in a Love Island-style villa in the Mediterranean and will air next year.
In the meantime, we look back at some of our favourite celebrities’ confessions on how they lost their virginities.
Short ride
As one of The Only Way Is Essex’s best loved bad boys, it’s only right that Pete Wicks, 36, would have some raunchy stories up his sleeves.
In an interview with The Sun, the star, who is set to compete on Strictly Come Dancing this year, hilariously opened up about his first time.
He said: “I was 15 in a toilet at the pictures. Romantic. It was with an older woman – she was 18 – and it was the best 30 seconds of her life.”
He added that all his mates already started having sex before him.

‘Bee’s knees’
Kate Moss, 50, has had a modelling career that has spanned over 36 years.
But she has revealed it was a trip to The Bahamas with her parents – when Kate lost her virginity – that kicked it all off.
And little did she know she was also about to get scouted by the brother of Storm Models boss Sarah Doukas.

Talking about her big break in an interview, she said: “I was 14 and I’d just lost my virginity. So I thought I was the bee’s knees.
“I was in the airport puffing away. I’d got on the plane and then Sarah’s brother came up to me and said ‘Have you ever thought about being a model?'”
Home run

Many of us remember Macaulay Culkin as the cute and innocent 10-year-old who starred in the Christmas blockbuster Home Alone.
But just five years later, he would lose his virginity.
Speaking about his “special” moment, the 43-year-old said: “It wasn’t gross or weird. We planned it. It was warm and sticky and I felt like, ‘Geez, this is weird. Am I doing it right?’”
He added that The Beatles’ The White Album served as the soundtrack for the tryst.
‘One night stand’

Although Cara Delevingne, 32, is one of the biggest supermodels in the world, some aspects of her life didn’t go as planned.
In fact, her first time at 18 was so disappointing that she claims it put her off the act for a while.
“I was quite late”, she explained. “After being conditioned to think, ‘This is the noise that people make’, I remember stopping making any noise or trying to really maintain it.
“It was a one-night stand and it happened at a New Year’s Eve party. It put me off sex for about two years.”
Student of the game

While many of us dreaded our first time and were even disappointed, some, like Johnny Depp, 61, went in full throttle with all the confidence in the world.
The 61-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star opened up to Playboy magazine about when he popped his cherry.
He said: “I was about 13, playing guitar at a club, and this girl who was a little older had been hanging around listening to us.
“She was a virgin, too. That night we just . . . partook. It was in the bass player’s van. I knew what to do, I had studied the subject for many years!”

Listening to your co-star explain to the world how your husband lost his virginity is probably not anyone’s idea of fun.
But that’s exactly what Stacey Solomon, 34, was subjected to on an episode of Loose Women when co-host Linda Robson began talking about her husband, Joe Swash, 42.
A red-faced Stacey listened as Linda said: “I’ve known Joe all of his life. In fact, I think it was at my house he lost his you know what.
“We were having a party at my house and we were hammering on the bathroom door for ages to tell him to come out. When he came out there must have been ten of us outside the room.
“It must have been the most embarrassing thing for him ever!”
Luckily for everyone involved, Stacey saw the lighter side of it and also admitted she enjoys teasing Joe.
Mum’s the word

For many parents, it’s the moment they dread the most.
So to ensure she was totally ready to take the huge step, Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson‘s mother made her promise she would wait till 16 to have sex.
Speaking about their pact, the 30-year-old said: “My mum and I were really open about sex. I had braces on my teeth and I remember asking her if it would be OK to do stuff with a boy with my braces.
“She said ‘Yes, but promise me you’ll wait until you’re 16’. It happened about a week before my 16th birthday and I thought ‘It’s near enough, I haven’t broken my promise to my mum.”
Rocky situation

Before becoming a multi-time WWE champion and one of Hollywood’s biggest action movie stars, Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, 52, was caught with his pants down.
His embarrassing moment, which landed him in hot water, came when he was just 14.
He explained: “I would have preferred not to have been caught by the cops. We shouldn’t have been in the park in the first place.
“All of a sudden, a big spotlight came on us. Bang. You hear the cop roll down the window and say, ‘Ma’am, are you okay? Will you come to the car?’
“She gets dressed, comes to the car. They say, ‘ Are you being attacked?’ She says, ‘No, that’s my boyfriend.’ It was a complete nightmare.”

Better safe than sorry

At one point, The Jonas Brothers were the most innocent act in pop. They even wore purity rings to show that they were abstaining from sex before marriage.
But when Joe Jonas, 35, started dating actress Ashley Greene, he was certain it was time to ditch his ring.
Speaking about his big moment, he described the lengths he went to make sure he practised safe sex.
He wrote on Reddit: “I didn’t have any condoms. So I went to our drummer Jack’s room — who was my roommate at the time — and I demolished his room looking for them.
“[I] found them underneath his underwear drawer. When he came home, he thought somebody broke into his room because his whole room was demolished.”
Cinema letdown

Although Geordie Shore‘s Holly Hogan, 32, was only 14, she knew exactly what her date had in mind on their first date.
In her book Not Quite A Geordie, she describes: “After [my first] date, he took me for a stroll at the back of the cinema. I kind of knew what was coming, because who the f*** takes a stroll round the back of a cinema?
“We started kissing, and yeah, I guess I was ready to get rid of my ‘virgin’ label.'”
Holly was not too pleased with the experience and said it was: “Cold, wet, painful and in a disused car park behind the cinema.
“Not the romantic candles, flowers, silk sheets set-up most would hope for, was it?”
Husband material

Miley Cyrus‘ career has taken on so many different shapes – from an innocent Disney star to half-naked stage twerker.
But Miley, 31, kept her virginity until she was 16, losing it to her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth.
“[I] didn’t go all the way with a dude [until] I was 16. It wasn’t Nick Jonas.
“But I ended up marrying the guy, so that’s pretty crazy.” She also lied to him about already losing her virginity so she doesn’t appear like a “loser”.
The waiting game
17
While many of us felt pressured to give up the goods, for Cheryl Tweedy, it was on her own terms.
The Girls Aloud star, 41, has spoken about how she lost her virginity at the age of 15.
“I made my boyfriend wait three months, so I am really proud of myself for that”, she said.
“The thought of being intimate with someone you don’t know really freaks me out. I think men should earn that intimacy.”
