Piers ‘popped the question’ to Susanna Good Morning Britain viewers caught a glimpse of Piers Morgan’s romantic side when he ‘seized the moment’ by presenting Susanna Reid with one of Poundland’s new engagement rings. ‘Poundland is not a place I normally frequent, but they’ve decided to bring out engagement rings,’ he said. ‘So I just thought, if the world is about to end, it is that moment that you turn to the one you secretly love and you present to her – what more could a woman want – a £1 little tinny ring to show the real depths of my feelings for you.’ Obviously, we weren’t surprised when his co-host declined the proposal. Plus, the fact Piers is already married – his poor wife, LOL! Katie finally…

It’s baby number four for Kim and Kanye Kim Kardashian finally confirmed that she is expecting another child via surrogate with Kanye West. Speaking during an appearance on US presenter Andy Cohen’s chat show, Watch What Happens Live , the reality star, 38, let her guard down and revealed that the baby would arrive ‘sometime soon’ and that it would be a little boy. But it appears that Andy wasn’t the first person that Kim has been loose lipped to about her new bundle of joy. ‘I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party and I told some people. I can’t remember who I told, because I never get drunk,’ she laughed. It happens to the best of us, Kim… Josie splits from…

Kourtney Kardashian Riding a motorbike is the only time double leather is acceptable, but Kourtney, 39, is out for dinner here. Let’s hope the leather gave enough for her tuck into the menu! Jenna Coleman She’s used to being on screen and taking direction, but the Victoria actress, 32, looks like she’s lost her way a little with this doodle-covered furry jacket. Megan Barton Hanson It might be ‘Dry January’ but Megan, 24, is channelling German Beer Maid vibes in this upfront corset number. She’d better wrap up rink-side when she’s cheering on boyfriend Wes Nelson in Dancing on Ice . Terri Seymour Remember 80s game Tetris ? Simon Cowell’s ex Terri, 46, looks like she’s about to lose…

Mariah Carey, 48 She’s even a diva in the pool! Mariah sent temperatures soaring in St Barts as she stripped down to a sparkly purple two-piece, revealing a figure that would give women half her age a run for their money. There’s no doubt the mum-of-two looks more comfortable with her body than she has done in years. Ferne McCann, 28 She’s always been fit but ever since having her baby girl, Ferne’s been on a mission to get the perfect beach body – and it’s working! She and little Sunday welcomed 2019 in sunny Dubai, where Ferne couldn’t resist posing up a storm in this fresh white bikini. The former TOWIE star recently released a fitness DVD and told Now , ‘I’m probably in the best shape now than…

‘As I pressed play on the DVD player, I felt a thrill of excitement. Yes, I’d watched The Little Mermaid a thousand times, and yes, I was a fully grown woman, but that just didn’t matter. As I sang along to Under The Sea, I realised I still loved it just as much as I had the first time I’d seen it. If not more. My obsession with mermaids had started when I was just three. Ever since my mum had sat me down in front of the TV to watch the video 19 years ago, I’d been enthralled by Ariel’s gorgeous red hair and her shiny green tail. ‘When I grow up, I want to be a mermaid,’ I’d tell Mum. I loved swimming, and would spend hours in…

THE MUST HAVE MANI News flash! Nail art is out, and shiny block nail shades are in! Great news for anyone who can’t stand faff. When even the likes of Rihanna are ditching stick-on studs and Swarovski crystals in favour of a classic red mani, you know the tides have turned. Lady Gaga has swapped her extrovert manicure ways for a pretty ballerina pink, too – maybe to let that corker of an engagement ring take centre stage! If dark and sultry is more you, channel Kate Beckinsale with a gleaming black or dark cherry red. Make sure to use a base coat and topcoat for a glossy, even finish.…

Eamonn Holmes, 59, and Ruth Langsford, 58, are one of TV’s most iconic couples. But recently, Eamonn admitted that Ruth was a ‘feeder’ in their relationship. Far more appealing than being stuck with a health freak, right? Wrong. ‘Feeders express their love for the people by feeding them,’ explains human behaviour expert* Jo Emerson. ‘I know first-hand the pleasure I receive from seeing family and friends eating and bonding over the meals I produce – but some feeders make others feel guilty if they’re not eating their food.’ But how do people let it get to such an intense stage? ‘Some might glory in it, at first, as it feels like they’re being showered with love. But six months later you’re 20lb heavier and uncomfortable because extreme feeding can be…

Neck cancer Place your hands under your jaw and ears. Open and close your mouth to feel for any lumps and bumps, then turn your head left and right to feel the jaw muscles. Breast cancer Feel your breast for any lumps that don’t feel normal, or any change in shape or size. Look out for any redness or rashes around the nipple area, or if any liquid is being excreted. Check if there’s any swelling around the armpit or collarbone. Skin cancer Always keep an eye on your moles for any changes – as a change to a mole, freckle or even a normal patch of skin is a common sign of skin cancer. Also look out for a new growth, mole, spot or sore that doesn’t heal, itches,…

They say money can’t buy you happiness and that’s something Peter Andre knows all too well. The pop star has opened up about his battle with crippling anxiety, which left him hospitalised and fearing for his life. ‘I went through it for years,’ Pete confessed. ‘It was a moment, it was in 1998. I was at the top of everything and all of a sudden it just hit me like a tonne of bricks. ‘I couldn’t function. I couldn’t think straight. I was having panic attacks. I ended up in all sorts of hospitals, on medication, different therapists.’ ‘I descended further into a very dark place’ Pete – who was at the height of his career at the time, after his hit Mysterious Girl peaked at number two on the…

When it comes to rocky relationships, Kerry Katona and Brian McFadden are one couple who have struggled to keep things amicable – even for the sake of their two children. But last week, some 15 years after her heart was broken, Kerry showed a change of tune when she vowed to support ex Brian, 38, in the audience at Dancing on Ice , telling fans how she is impressed with his skating. And the former Westlife singer has also been messaging Kerry, 38, who starred on the show back in 2011. ‘I’ll be going down to watch my ex-hubby Brian McFadden on DOI this year’ said Kerry, 38. ‘Brian sent me a video of one of his skating routines and I was really impressed! That man has no fear. [Their…

Holly Willoboozy WHEN: 11 JANUARY WHERE: THE GROUCHO CLUB, LONDON The This Morning presenter might have seen all sorts of creepy crawlies in the Aussie jungle for her stint on I’m a Celeb , but by the looks of things, a night out in the capital was a bit too much for Holly. After an all-day bender with her husband Dan Baldwin, comedian Michael McIntyre and her girl squad – which included Emma Bunton and Nicole Appleton – the 37-year-old appeared slightly tipsy as she stumbled into a taxi. We’re guessing she wasn’t feeling too fresh the next morning!…

After two messy on-screen splits with exes Megan McKenna and Shelby Tribble, we wouldn’t blame Pete Wicks for wanting to steer clear of the dating scene for a while. But now the TOWIE star is taking part in Celebs Go Dating – alongside Megan! When we catch up with the hunky 30-year-old, he admits that filming with Megan, 26, ‘wasn’t ideal’, but they’ve finally reached a place where they can be happy for each other. We never thought we’d see the day! Here, Pete talks about how turning 30 comes with pressure to settle down, his dream woman and catfishing… Hi, Pete! How have you found Celebs Go Dating? It’s different but enjoyable. I’ve been quite a prolific dater for the majority of my life, so it’s interesting to sit…

With a joint net worth of £332 million you can’t blame the Beckhams for splashing the cash. But could their flashy lifestyle be putting them out of touch with reality? ‘They’re both living in a fantasy world!’ Last week, Victoria, 44, shocked fans when she treated the couple’s seven-year-old daughter to a ‘baby facial’. She gave her Instagram followers a glimpse into their mother-daughter day, sharing an image of Harper enjoying an indulgent pamper session at the spa. But fans weren’t impressed, with many calling Harper ‘too young’ for the treatment. ‘Harper is too young to start all that! She needs to be outside playing and getting fresh air!’ one user commented. ‘My favourite childhood memories with my mum were going on a bus somewhere, to the beach or park,…

Slick on a scarlet This timeless look screams Marilyn Monroe-style glamour, suits all skin tones and works in all seasons. Choose a pillar-box red colour for ultimate impact. In the pink This pretty shade treads the line between pink and nude, making it a classy fail-safe for those who err on the side of caution. The Queen’s shade of choice is Essie’s Ballet Slippers, making HRH bang on trend. Go to the dark side Glossy dark nails scream confidence and style. They’re surprisingly flattering too, and the blue undertones of a dark plum shade can even accentuate a tan! Who knew?! A true black nail shade can sometimes be too harsh on your skin tone, so try a super-dark cherry red or midnight blue instead.…

1 No school uniform Come on, now – this isn’t just a rule, it’s the law! There’s young, then there’s illegal. Don’t cross the line. Enough said. But how low can you go? ‘If you’re both in the same psychological proximity, then age shouldn’t dictate happiness,’ says dating and relationship expert Clarissa Bloom of beauty company Procoal. ‘Age is only a number, and who enjoys maths anyway?’ Not us. 2 Don’t waste time If you both only want some bow-chicka-wow-wow, then great. But if your baby clock is ticking louder than Big Ben, forget it. ‘If you’d like a child soon and they’re still a decade away, this will cause an inevitable conundrum,’ says Clarissa. ‘Sit down and talk it through.’ Yeah, with clothes on. 3 Do feel smug Turns…

VICKY PATTISON She looked like… THEN Fake and caked Vicky looked completely different when she burst onto our screens with a bronze complexion, false eyelashes and hair extensions in 2011. NOW Fresh-faced Since leaving Geordie Shore in 2014, Vicky has had a complete style overhaul. She looks more sophisticated and even steps out without make-up on. She was saying... THEN ‘They’re like Romeo and Juliet aren’t they? If Romeo was a t**t.’ During her time on Geordie Shore , Vicky was known for her witty one-liners. She especially didn’t hold back when discussing Charlotte Crosby and Gaz Beadle. NOW ‘Don’t smile to hide the pain, smile to try and heal the pain.’ Since splitting from her fiancé, John Noble, Vicky has been all about the inspirational quotes on Instagram. She…

‘I DO QUIETLY LOVE IT WHEN I GO HOME, HOWEVER MAD LIFE GETS IN LONDON, AS THE YOUNGEST I’M STILL IN THE BOOT WITH THE DOGS ON THE WAY TO THE PUB!’ Ollie Locke ‘So I’m going Vegan for the year and I couldn’t have timed it better. It looks half the country is doing Veganuary - all the plant based stuff is on sale. I heard about this Greggs sausage roll I went to try it today and... [it’s sold out]’ Jay McGuiness ‘Things found in my storage unit No. 3 iPod Mini.

Parents-to-be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex pressed ahead with their official duties, squeezing not one but four visits into their day in Birkenhead. With Harry reportedly finding it hard to say no to his wife, we asked Judi James to analyse these snaps to see if Meghan is indeed the one in control. ONE WILL WAIT Meghan is dictating the pace here, pulling back and stopping to take a flower from a girl while Harry stands a pace away looking rather wary. The way Meghan bends to focus on the girl suggests she’s quietly determined to get the crowd contact right. DELICATE NOT DOMINEERING Meghan’s wide open-mouthed smile and puckered brows show she’s confident and comfortable with some spontaneous laughs with the people there to see her. As Harry…

She shocked fans with snaps of a gruesome injury last week, and now they’re concerned that being off work could be a huge setback for fragile Louise Redknapp. The 44-year-old singer suffered the fall on her way to rehearsals for Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5: The Musical , in which she was cast as Violet Newstead, but now it’s thought she’ll be signed off for at least two months. Confirming she’d fractured her wrist and needed 10 stitches in her chin, Louise, 44, said, ‘It breaks my heart to say I’m having to take some time out and won’t be able to continue my role in 9 to 5 .’ One fan wrote: ‘I’m so sad to read this. I’m sure you worked hard and for this to happen isn’t…

Stylist Celebrities put so much trust in me Basma Khalifa, 29, is a freelance fashion stylist living in London. She’s put together the outfits of many celebrities, including Rita Ora and Naomi Campbell. ‘As the woman in front of me twirled, the millions of sequins adorning a custom-made Valentino dress lit up the room. ‘Look, guys! I’m sparkling!’ giggled Adele. It was February 2016, and my idol was standing opposite me showing off the outfit a dedicated stylist and I had envisioned and brought to life. She was about to take to the stage at the Brit Awards, a performance that would go down in history and a moment in my career I’d never forget. After graduating with a fashion business degree from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2010, I worked…

‘Crash course diets aren’t good. Celebs needto remember this!’ Some celebs have come under fire for going on quick-fix diets recently. I think that celebrities are big influencers of young people and where weight is such a big issue, they need to remember they’re setting an example for the younger generation. ‘Spencer and Vogue’s baby has made me broody!’ Spencer Matthews and Vogue William’s new show, Spencer, Vogue and Baby Too, started and it’s great! I actually pop up in it, so get ready for my appearance. Spenny and Vogue make such a cute couple and their baby [Theodore ] is the sweetest thing I have come across.

PEDI PERFECTION If like Kim K, you’re planning to parade your tootsies all year round in a pair of Perspex courts, it’s time to perfect the home pedicure. Maintenance is key, and means you won’t have to work as hard when sandal season arrives. Once a week, use a pumice file on dry feet (filing wet skin can damage the delicate layers of skin below) to buff away hard skin. Choose a file with one grainy and one smooth side. Finish off by slathering your feet in a nourishing cream and top with cotton socks overnight for an extra treat. Or, for peep-toe shoe emergencies, try a hydrating foot mask for a quick pre-party fix. SIMPLE BLOW-DRY Save yourself a trip to the salon by creating a hairstyle worthy of…

Hi Guys! This week I want to talk about actor Chris Pratt proposing to his girlfriend Katherine Schwarzenegger after seven months. This is a whirlwind no matter how you dress it up, especially when you consider his marriage breakdown was only announced in August 2017. There are three main stages during a relationship. These are lust, limerence (similar to infatuation) and love. The middle stage is a tricky one, it feels a lot like love – but it isn’t. Lots of people rush into things in this stage. My advice is to wait just a little longer. Live together and build memories that will act as a foundation in your later years. Chris will never regret giving his relationship more time to grow, but he may regret rushing into marriage.…

Hey, Sam! What’s your favourite way to keep fit? I like to mix my workouts up a bit to make it fun. Every day, I do some kind of cardio whether it’s running, Boxercise or swimming. Each time I do cardio I involve a different body part, but I always make sure I incorporate sit-ups. How do you motivate yourself to exercise? My live shows are always a motivation to keep fit. I do over 50 of them a year and would hate to feel restricted on stage by being unfit. I want to live a long and healthy life. Any fitness goals for 2019? I’d like to try yoga or even hot yoga. People say it’s the best thing to relax the mind and body. It’s meant to be…

The Spooks actor turned big movie star is currently starring as Inspector Javert in BBC1’s non-musical version of Les Misérables. We caught up with David to talk about his latest role, watching himself on screen and the pros and cons of facial hair. Had you read the book before you got the part? I read the scripts first, then the book. It’s ginormous and takes weeks to read. What’s extraordinary is how Andrew Davies managed to get that book down to six one-hour episodes. There’s nothing he’s left out that you really miss. Javert ages throughout the series. How was that? The ageing process is a real joy. As an I actor I enjoy every challenge I can put myself through. One of those things is subtly yet convincingly ageing.…

The TRUTH about my bum I’m so flattered that everyone thinks I’ve had bum implants but, alas, it’s all mine. It’s weird, as some days my bum looks bigger than others. Also, I know how to pose to make it look extra peachy LOL. Some days it just looks different. Same with everything. It’s sad that people just assume I must have had surgery. To be honest, when I lose weight it gets smaller and I’m embarking on a mega-fitness and weight-loss journey at the moment, so it will probably start shrinking. Then what will people say – I’ve had it deflated? LOL. I have thick thighs and a bum. That’s what my mama gave me! You just have to work with what you’ve got, the best you can. I…
