Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have sparked further speculation that their relationship is in crisis, as they marked their second wedding anniversary apart. Ben, 51, and Jen, 54, were seen on different sides of the US coast last week, with the Gone Girl actor in Los Angeles while the singer was in the Hamptons with her manager Benny Medina. It’s been reported that the couple, who married in Las Vegas on 16 July 2022, have been living apart “for months” after putting their Beverly Hills marital home up for sale. J.Lo also holidayed in Italy and France recently without Ben, who didn’t support her at the premieres of her new Netflix film Atlas.…

As she made her way out onto Centre Court at Wimbledon, hand in hand with her daughter Charlotte, Kate Middleton beamed as she received a big welcome from the crowds, who gave her a standing ovation with huge applause and cheers. The Princess of Wales, who is the club’s patron and a tennis fan, looked happy as she presented the trophies to the men’s singles winner Carlos Alcaraz and runnerup Novak Djokovic at the tournament. Kate’s first solo engagement of the year, alongside Charlotte, nine, and her sister Pippa Middleton, came a month after she attended Trooping the Colour with her family in June, amidst her continuing treatment of preventative chemotherapy and recovery from cancer. “Great to be back at Wimbledon! There’s nothing quite like the Championships,” she shared afterwards.…

Peering at the screen, I tried to ignore the horrible burning sensation in my chest. I was plagued with acid reflux. “Losing a couple of stone would have a massive impact on your health,” a consultant told me. I was also suffering from pain in my feet and sometimes felt breathless. As a teenager, I’d weighed around 15 stone, but now I was even heavier. My food downfalls were pizzas, Sweet Chilli Sensations crisps and Celebrations chocolates. Over the years, I’d tried slimming groups and had lost more than a stone, only to quickly regain it - and then some. Now, the doctor’s comment had left me demoralised. Two weeks later, I set off to my friend Nicola’s house for a bridesmaid dress fitting. Her wedding was nine months away…

Linda Robson has opened up about her fury as she came to the defence of her best friend Pauline Quirke, when she was insulted in public. The childhood pals and Birds Of A Feather stars were at a restaurant together when they were approached by a fellow diner. “Once I was out having lunch with Pauline and there was a big fry-up in front of us. This woman comes marching over and goes, ‘You shouldn’t eat that, you’ll end up looking like her,”’ Linda recalled. “It was terrible. I won’t tell you what I said because I’ll lose my job, but I wasn’t happy. There’s no excuse for terrible behaviour.”…

As Becki whispered in my ear, I looked up in time to catch another frustrated look from our teacher. “That’s it, Kimberley, you go and sit over there,” she said. But as I shuffled to a new desk, I knew that break time was coming up and we could continue then. We’d been best friends since we met in the school playground at four years old. We were more like sisters than best friends, and our bond only got stronger as we grew older. In 2006, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome at just 15 years old, and was devastated to learn that it would be a struggle for me to ever have children. I’d always wanted to be a mum one day, and the news was heartbreaking. But…

CELEB NEWS & GOSSIP After feeling “numb” following the loss of her beloved husband Derek Draper earlier this year, Kate Garraway has revealed that she’s staying positive as she begins a new chapter. “I’m just at that early stage at the moment of coming out of grief. I’m just barely holding it together,” she said at the ASA Foundation ball. Kate’s emotional journey caring for her late husband Derek, who died in January from a cardiac arrest due to complications inflicted by COVID 19, was covered in three documentary series. Two of them - Finding Derek and Caring For Derek - have won awards. The couple were married for 19 years, with two children Darcey, 17 and Billy, 14. With her 60th birthday approaching in three years’ time, the Good…

Dressed in a yellow halterneck top, I rested my hand on my mum’s shoulder and we both smiled as my friend Tammy snapped a photo. Tammy had come to my house to get ready for a night out when Mum had popped over to see me. To her, we looked like any other mum and 22-year-old daughter. But beneath our smiles lurked a dark history… My mum Rose had subjected me to horrific child abuse, branded by the newspapers as a “two-year reign of terror”. She’d beaten me with a belt, burnt my arms with flames, and left me with a body that looked like a battleground, covered in blue-black bruises and scars. And she’d never apologised. It all started back in 1976, when I was four. As well as…

£50 Star letter Split truths Ruth Langsford got a lot of stick for leaving Eamonn Holmes given his ill-health, but who knows what went on, especially with suggestions he has suddenly acquired a lot of female companions (issue 27). His first marriage ended because his Belfast-based wife wouldn’t relocate to London and now it seems Ruth didn’t want to relocate to Belfast. He cant have it both ways. I hope she can come to terms with it all. Sarah Treweeks, Birmingham Here’s to Anne I was shocked reading all the details about Princess Anne’s recent hospital stay (issue 27). Whether you like the royals or not, no one can deny she is a hard worker, so I’m sure her family will have been horrified when they heard what happened. I…

My daughter has stopped loving school Q My daughter is 17 and has always been a high achiever. She’s going to be doing her A-levels next year, and it’s like her interest in any schoolwork has fallen off a cliff. The same thing happened when she did her GSCEs last year, but she is naturally clever and did quite well because she’d worked so hard in the years leading up to them. She’s also really moody at home and is always snapping at her siblings (she’s the eldest) and won’t do what she’s told by me or her dad. She stays in her room most of the time and treats everyone like they’re idiots, looking down her nose at us all. It looks like she’s going to fail her exams…

He’s used to eating out with glamorous showbiz friends (including BFF Joan Collins) and has won both Celebrity Come Dine With Me in 2009 - when he served shopbought trout mousse - and I’m A Celebrity! in 2007 - when he ate “absolutely vile” kangaroo bits - as well as making it through to the semi-finals of Celebrity MasterChef in 2014. So we’re rating Biggins’ chances as he takes part in the fourth series of Cooking With The Stars… What did you want to get out of this show? Really, one of the pleasures was working with (chef) Rosemary Shrager; we’ve become really close friends. I mean, we’re very similar. We’re large. We’ve got a lot of laughter in our lives. And we like cooking. I’d met her before when…
