Maybe it was because the taxi was late or perhaps it was more about being snapped on their date night, but new parents Dec and Ali’s body language suggests they were not exactly n blissful romantic mode here. Having a new baby can cause sleepless nights and anxiety, along with the overwhelming happiness. And although date nights are a great way to keep the focus on your partner too, they are notorious for ending with a dash back home in case the baby happens to be missing you.…

Kate and Rio get ENGAGED  Rio Ferdinand has popped the question to former TOWIE star Kate Wright after almost two years of dating. The couple revealed the exciting news on social media, with Kate writing, ‘The perfect end to our holiday... How could the answer not be yes.’ Rio, 40, proposed to Kate, 27, in front of his three children Lorenz, 12, Tate, 10, Tia, seven, on top of a rooftop during a family holiday to Abu Dhabi. And, clearly the kids couldn’t be happier for their dad, as Rio revealed they even managed to keep the proposal under wraps. ‘How these 3 kids kept it a secret I’ll never know,’ he wrote. The retired professional footballer sadly lost his wife and the mother of his children, Rebecca Ellison in…

Neelam Gill Model Neelam looks like her car broke down on the way to the GQ 30th anniversary bash in this lime green boiler suit. At least she won’t have to worry about spilt drinks! Ellie Goulding Did Ellie get run over by a road-painting wagon? If not, she needs to rethink the slogan jeans as they’re screaming ‘No Parking’ to us… Amber Riley The former Dreamgirl is wearing anything but a dream outfit with these stripes and checks. She looks like she’s trying to hide a party popper streamer beneath her coat – and once it’s out, it’s a mess… Whoopi Goldberg This black-and-white outfit is giving us Sister Act vibes, but the tartan leggings are not…

YES ‘If they’re not fitting into their clothes, that’s a clear indication!’ Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood, 53, is in a relationship with horticulturalist Jonathan Myring, 31. ‘Yes I would! I’d say something like, “I’m going on a diet, do you want to join me?” or, “Shall we go for a run this morning?” I would do it subtly of course, but I wouldn’t just ignore it if I felt like it was becoming unhealthy. If they’re not fitting into their clothing I think that’s a clear indication that they’re putting on weight, so I would tell them they’ve gained and encourage them to get back in shape, by saying, “So shall we go on a diet?” I would do it with them as well.’ In…

Mollie King At a London fashion show for underwear brand Intimissimi, Mollie stepped out wearing her fave French Connection suede coat. It’s the perfect cover-up for in-between weather, but sadly it’s no longer in stock. Grab this lookalike from Boohoo. Holly Willoughby Hot on the heels of This Morning’s BAFTA win, Holly wows in this vintage-style floral dress. And with over 50K likes on Instagram, we’re not the only ones who love it. Team with pastel pink courts to complete the look. Sam Faiers The mum-of-two pulls off leopard print effortlessly and we’d give her extra style points for the non-fussy stilettos, too. Be inspired and get in on the trend with this version from Lipsy. Rochelle Humes Out and about filming, Rochelle showed us how to look…

Hi guys! This week I want to talk about Strictly’s Katya and Neil Jones, they put on a united fr ont at the Pride of Britain Awards, but looks can be deceiving. Cheating is one of the biggest tests a relationship can go thr ough and few surviv e it, especially when the cheating is done in such a public ar ena. My advice to them is to step away from public events and concentr ate on their marriage. Pinpoint wher e it went wrong, and why, and work together to mo ve forward. I’d recommend couple’s coaching, as it will giv e them the tools they need to mak e it through the infidelity and make their marriage w ork. Dear Annabelle, I went on…

HEIGHT: 5ft 3in WEIGHT: 8st 7lb SIZE: 8-10 TV presenter Helen Skelton, 35, shares her top-to-toe health secrets Hey, Helen! What’s your favourite way to keep fit? I love being outdoors – whatever it is I’m doing. I used to be a gym bunny but with the kids [sons Ernie, three, and one-year-old Louis] it’s harder to make the time, so if I get them outside it’s a workout in itself. I go walking though and I do try and go on a bike ride or go swimming. How do you motivate yourself to go and exercise? I’ve always been an active person, so exercising hasn’t ever been a big chore – it’s just making sure you’re doing the type of exercise or activity you get pleasure out of, then…

Just when we thought Katie Price had enough to be getting on with, we’re told things could be about to get a lot more complicated. Over the past few months Katie, 40, has checked into The Priory for PTSD, while playing a game of musical toy boys with Kris Boyson and Alex Adderson and even managed to dodge bankruptcy not once but twice. Now – in true Pricey style – Katie has suggested to friends that all of this could soon be the least of her worries. ‘Kate has dropped loads of hints that she might be expecting a baby with Kris. She hasn’t said it outright but we all know how much she wants another one,’ a well-placed source tells Now . And Katie has always been vocal about…

She’s always been known as an advocate for plus-size women, and for absolutely loving her candy, but it looks like Gemma Collins could be losing her signature curves. The 37-year-old has revealed she’s already lost weight from the gruelling training schedule for Dancing on Ice , just weeks into the process. ‘I’ve dropped a dress size already. Look, my clothes are falling off me,’ she confessed. Fitness and nutritional expert Laurel Alper tells Now that the TOWIE star may have even dropped a couple of stone. ‘Gemma looks as though she has lost at least two stone,’ says Laurel. ‘Ice-skating is an extremely difficult sport and requires a lot of training. And with the cold temperatures on the ice, the body works harder to keep you warm, and so can…

Because high heels are perfect for the beach, Posh! WHEN: 27 OCTOBER WHERE: SYDNEY She’s known as a style icon with her successful clothing brand, but it seems as though Victoria Beckham made the ultimate fashion faux pas last week. The 44-year-old was spotted enjoying a beach day with Cruz, 13, and Harper, seven, but she obviously didn’t get the memo about what to wear, as she was sporting red heels and turn-ups. At least Harper and her nanny had the right idea in their cute cossies as they splashed around in the sea. We guess that a sarong and flip-flops is more David’s thing! How the other half live... WHEN: 27 OCTOBER WHERE: BARBADOS There’s no denying Coleen Rooney loves a good old holiday, and last week she indulged…

Steady on, Simon WHEN: 29 OCTOBER WHERE: LONDON Judging by these photos, it looks like Simon Cowell had a great night at the Pride of Britain Awards. The 59-year-old could barely stand on his own two feet as he made a merry departure from the star-studded event. Appearing to balance himself on a plant pot (really, Simon?), The X Factor judge took a dramatic tumble. Si, you might want to watch where you’re going next time! Tut-tut, Holly WHEN: 30 OCTOBER WHERE: LONDON The I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! host was slapped with a parking ticket last week, after failing to put money in the meter. As she made her way back from the shops, Holly Willoughby, 37, returned…

The Spice Girls may be back on the scene with a new tour, but there’s still no sign of a reunion between the girls and Victoria Beckham. Mel B, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Mel C finally confirmed they’re getting back together last week – but without Victoria, who decided against joining them earlier this year. Living up to her ‘Scary Spice’ nickname, Mel B, 43, publicly threw shade at Vic, 44, by dressing up as her old band mate for Halloween last week. Along with Posh’s iconic Little Black Dress and slick bob, Mel wore a cut-out paper mask of Victoria’s face and held a plastic axe with, ‘No I am not going on tour’ written across it. ‘The girls are furious with Victoria for pulling out’ Her friend,…

‘As a woman in a nearby ward screamed deafeningly during her labour, I breathed a sigh of relief. I’d just woken up in my hospital bed, and hearing her cries reaffirmed the fact that I’d made the right decision – after 10 years of asking for the operation, I’d finally been sterilised. ‘I’ve never had any interest in babies and toddlers’ Now I would never need to worry about having a baby. For as long as I could remember, the idea of being a mum hadn’t appealed, and as I got older, that feeling didn’t change. I was well informed about the facts of life as my own mum works in healthcare. When I learned about sterilisation in sex education at school aged 10, I immediately thought it was a…

It’s no secret that the 23-year-old has undergone a lot of surgery (see our story on p30), but while she’s been criticised by some fans for her drastic new appearance, why did she feel she had to change in the first place? The reality star recently admitted to suffering from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a condition that affects one in 50 people. But what is BDD? ‘Symptoms usually develop in adolescence and include checking appearance repeatedly and trying to camouflage or alter the defects you see, with patients often undergoing needless cosmetic treatments,’ says Professor David Veale, a consultant psychiatrist at London’s Priory Hospital. ‘BDD causes devastating distress and interferes with the individual’s ability to function socially.’ Unfortunately, many sufferers don’t seek help due to the fear that they will…

1 Pack away the pickles Hard to believe but pickle is around a quarter sugar. So try swapping your cheese and pickle sandwich for cheese and cucumber instead. SAVE: 1tsp sugar 2 Ditch the juice Instead of reaching for the orange juice and pouring yourself a 200ml glass, peel a fresh orange instead. It contains a lot less sugar, and because you’re eating it with the fibre, it balances your blood sugar levels, preventing a sudden spike. SAVE: 1½tsp sugar 3 Dip a digestive If you fancy a treat, then you should have one. Just be sensible. A plain digestive with your tea will score amber – not red – on the sugar scale. Whereas fig rolls and Crunch Creams are around three times as bad. SAVE: 1tsp sugar 4…

Breakfast 400 cals Scrambled eggs with sprinkled chilli on sourdough toast ASHTON SAYS: A high-protein meal is digested slower so you’re fuller for longer. Lunch 600 cals Tuna mayonnaise jacket potato with a salad of lettuce, sweetcorn and avocado ASHTON SAYS: This is a well-balanced lunch that will keep Helen full all afternoon. Be aware that lots of mayo can add lots of extra calories without you realising. Dinner 600 cals Chicken and vegetable casserole with mash ASHTON SAYS: Winter is a great time for things like casseroles and they allow you to get more veg in and lots of flavour. Just don’t go crazy with the mash – it’s all about portion control! Snacks 200 cals Banana and dark chocolate ASHTON SAYS: Dark chocolate is a great choice as…

Award-winning comedian John Robins, 36, hosts Dave’s new comedy quiz where contestants have to finish sentences based on some of the internet’s most popular search terms. Here he reveals more… What is the premise of Beat The Internet ? It’s based on the auto search results you get when you type something into a search engine. Its the drop-down box that tries to predict what you’re looking for based on what other people are searching for using the same words. You have a snoop through your contestants’ search histories, don’t you? Yes. A lot of people seem to search for Tom Cruise’s height, and ‘Who is John Robins?’ is one I get in almost every episode. We also had one lady who was worried about the colour of her dog’s…

Pride of Britain Awards 2018 WHEN: 29 OCTOBER WHERE: LONDON Celebs from TV, film and music came together to celebrate Britain’s everyday heroes. Vicky Pattison, Holly Willoughby and Megan McKenna were among the guests, while Carol Vorderman returned to host the heart-warming ceremony. Jonathan Ross’ Halloween party WHEN: 31 OCTOBER WHERE: LONDON Jonathan Ross hosted his annual Halloween party last week, and it’s safe to say his guests pulled out all the stops. Shirley Ballas provided the wow factor in a Catwoman bodysuit, Leigh Francis, aka Keith Lemon, transformed into Spider-Man villain Venom, while David Walliams became Ming the Merciless. Well, it looks like this lot had quite a spooktacular evening!…

My battle with anxiety I saw Andrea McLean being hypnotised on Loose Women. I’ve actually tried hypnotherapy but it wasn’t for me. It made me anxious – I couldn’t relax to allow it to work. I don’t like the thought of giving up control of my mind, it freaks me out! I’ve been recommended an amazing life coach, though, called Michelle Zelli and am booked to see her in a few weeks’ time. Some friends saw one of her seminars about love, self-love and toxic relationships and said I needed to see her at once. Hopefully, she can help me to stop going for the wrong kind of men all the time! I know where it all stems from, but other than when I did the In Therapy show, I’ve…

They welcomed their first child, Isla, just two months ago, so it’s unsurprising that Declan Donnelly and Ali Astall were spotted on a well-earned date night last week. But, from the looks of these snaps, the couple look far from happy. We ask body language expert Judi James to tell us more... SPATIAL GAP There’s a very big spatial gap between them as Ali walks off ahead looking rather dour. Her lips are sucked in, suggesting concern, and her head is down. In contrast, Dec seems to have paused behind her and his body language looks almost like dithering. NO OBVIOUS COMMUNICATION As Ali moves to get into the car looking focused and determined, her mouth shape looks unsmiling and rather tight-lipped. There’s no obvious communication or non-verbal signalling between…

It’s been nearly 10 years since Olly Murs shot to fame on The X Factor – something that came at the cost of his relationship with his twin brother Ben. The row between the 34-year-old siblings is one that’s been well-documented, and now Olly has made the heartbreaking revelation he wants nothing more than to reconnect with Ben. ‘They wanted Olly, who gave them the VIP life ’ ‘I did text him this year and wished him a happy birthday,’ he said. ‘I felt it was the right time to reach out and try to ignite some kind of conversation. But it was the wrong phone number.’ Olly and Ben famously fell out when the singer was forced to miss his brother’s wedding in 2009 due to his commitments on…

Four months after dumping husband Ben Foden, Una Healy is honest about her sudden single status being a shock to the system. In fact, when we catch up with Una, 37, at the Pride of Britain Awards, she admits she’s getting through the process thanks to her children – daughter Aoife, six, and three-year-old son Tadhg. ‘I’m not dating anyone’ ‘I’m just taking it day by day and focusing on the kids,’ reveals Una. ‘My children have been my support and so have my friends and family.’ And Una – who shot to fame with girl band The Saturdays – confessed writing songs for her second solo album has also helped adding, ‘That’s why I love my music because I can put all my emotions into it and bring out…

‘The first time I hated myself, I was just seven years old. Looking in my bedroom mirror, I saw chubby thighs, a big tummy and round cheeks. ‘I’m too fat,’ I wept to myself, as I stared at my reflection. Like all children, I loved sweets and chips, but despite having similar eating habits to my friends, I wasn’t anywhere near as skinny as them. I ached to fit in – but each time I ate, the more upset I felt. By the time I turned 17, I was 5ft 7in tall and weighed 11st. Hardly massive, but a lifetime of worrying about my weight had made me lose any sense of what was ‘normal’ or healthy. ‘I began to post selfie after selfie in the gym’ Panic attacks I…

Chloe Ferry There’s no denying that Chloe is starting to look very different compared to when she first shot to fame on Geordie Shore . Chloe, 23, revealed last week that her biggest surgery regret was having a £50,000 line put into her belly, while other procedures include two nose jobs, boob implants, a bum lift and regular fillers. She said, ‘Going public about getting my belly done is the worst mistake ever. I had a line put in, it’s not even that good, so no more.’ Chloe previously regretted her nose job. ‘I hate my nose,’ she said. ‘It’s just too small, my nostrils need to be widened. I can’t breathe…’ But the reality star, who once called herself ‘ugly,’ seems to think splashing the cash will help. She…

FAIR Got a pale skin tone and are blessed with freckles like Emma Watson? In that case you might want to go for a lighter coverage foundation to ensure you don’t mask them. Apply a light foundation or mix some into your moisturiser and use a concealer where necessary. TIP James Molloy, Rimmel Global Make Up Ambassador, says, ‘To find the right shade for your skin, make sure to try a few tones over a good amount of skin and not just a fingertip full.’ OLIVE If you’re olive-toned like Penélope, you may find you’re in between shades. Try a few bases in natural light to see which is closest. You can always add drops to your foundation to make it darker or mix two colours like a make-up pro.…

1 The Eagle Fear not. This doesn’t involve a jaunt to your local birds of prey centre. Although some fellas might think that’s a Saturday afternoon well spent. ‘Lie on your back and pull up your legs to your shoulders while he pounds into you,’ says Dr Andrea Pennington (@DrAndrea), author of The Orgasm Prescription For Women (£13.67, Make Your Mark Global). ‘Then, simultaneously rub your clitoris and use your fingers to feel his penis move in and out, which can be hot.’ 2 The Cowgirl If your partner’s idea of multitasking is picking his feet at the same time as watching TV, then this might not be a winner. ‘Sit on top, moving up and down,’ suggests Dr Andrea. ‘Then have him suck, lick, and bite on your nipples…

PETER ANDRE He looked like… THEN Greasy At the height of his popstar career, the Mysterious Girl singer’s greased-up curtains were just as iconic as his greased-up abs. NOW Smooth and sleek These days, there are no curtains to be seen, and Pete’s hair is much more classic, showing off his face. He was wearing... THEN Shell suits  Pete loved a shell suit back in the day, and was rarely seen out of one, unless it was to show off his six-pack… NOW Sharp suits  Nowadays, Pete is much more sophisticated, and wouldn’t attend an awards ceremony in anything but black tie. He was saying... THEN ‘I’ve written this song called Insania – it’s a mix of Insane and Mania, and even though it’s a made-up word you instantly know…
