Taylor Swift is set to be a blushing bride after sharing that her sportsman boyfriend Travis Kelce proposed. The couple, who have been dating for two years, announced their engagement with a romantic photoshoot in coordinated Ralph Lauren outfits at a flower-filled garden, where the Shake It Off singer, 35, showed off her $550k eight-carat oval-cut diamond ring, which Travis designed himself. ‘Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,’ she wrote on Instagram. The post was set to her song So High School, about her enduring love for Travis, also 35. The NFL athlete’s dad Ed revealed that the surprise proposal took place three weeks ago near Travis’ Kansas home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. ‘They were about to go out to dinner and [Travis] said, “Let’s go…

Another series of Strictly Come Dancing is almost upon us – but as well as a brand-new batch of celeb hopefuls, the show has been served a dose of scandal. After a summer of allegations, last month it was revealed a male former star - who, as Bella went to print, had not been publicly named - had been arrested on suspicion of rape and non-consensual intimate image abuse. And the allegations have left everybody behind the scenes feeling rocked – especially the show’s hosts, Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. An insider tells Bella, ‘Tess has been putting on a brave face, but behind the scenes she’s rattled. The allegations have thrown the whole production and launch show into panic mode and the atmosphere in the training room is tense.…

As a child, I was always on the go. I was a competitive dancer and captain of the netball team, and my weight was never an issue until I left school and started training as a hairdresser. I stopped being active and worked long days in a busy salon. Living at home with my parents, I’d skip breakfast, then get hungry at work and head to the sandwich shop for crisps, chocolate and a pork pie. Mum cooked dinner, but I’d still snack all evening. By the time I fell pregnant at 21 with my daughter Maddy, I was a size 16 at 5ft 4ins. I used the pregnancy as an excuse to eat what I liked. After Maddy was born, I snacked through the tiredness, avoided the scales and…

In April 2019, Shannon was ready for someone to sweep her off her feet. She downloaded the dating app Tinder and matched with Christopher Harkins, a handsome, muscular man who claimed to have similar interests to Shannon’s and lived nearby in Glasgow. One date led to another, and Shannon was beginning to feel excited. When Christopher suggested they go on holiday together, she thought to herself, Why not? However, after transferring to Christopher thousands of pounds for a luxury trip to Mykonos, he went quiet. Realising she may have been scammed, Shannon tried everything she could to get her money back, but it was too late. Finally, she reached out to a local newspaper journalist, Catriona Stewart, who published Shannon’s story to warn others. But what followed was a tsunami…

Why won’t she follow my rules? Q Since my eldest turned 18, she’s become a nightmare. I let her go out with her friends, but I want to know she’s safe so I insist that she gets home before I go to bed, which is around midnight. On quite a few occasions recently, she’s completely ignored this curfew and has lied when I’ve called her, telling me she’s nearly home, but actually, she’s out for another hour or so. She’s also sneaked her boyfriend into the house, even though I’ve told her she’s not allowed. She lies and tells me he arrived early in the morning. Then, last week, she told me that she was staying at her boyfriend’s for a few days because she couldn’t take the constant nagging.…

MARY EARPS The England team goalkeeper, 32, made history as she became the world’s first professional female footballer to have her waxwork at Madame Tussauds. The piece was dressed in her kit from the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final. DREW BARRYMORE Despite having been in showbiz for over 40 years after finding fame at the age of seven in E.T., the Charlie’s Angels actor, 50, only received her first Madame Tussauds figure last year, which was displayed at the entrance of their New York location. LEWIS CAPALDI The cheeky Scottish singer, 28, has some hairstyle regrets when he came face-to-face with his waxwork, saying he wished he’d ‘never had this haircut’, but still thought the figure was great for fans to come ‘slap his behind’. KRIS JENNER As if…

Posting a video on Instagram, the TV star, 35, can be seen doing pull-ups, squats, dead hangs and some dumbbell exercises before collapsing on the floor after one final press-up. Last month, Stacey – who shares Rex, six, Rose, four, and Belle, two, with husband Joe Swash, and is also mum to Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 13, from previous relationships – posed in a series of bikini snaps online, telling fans her body ‘looks different’ from last year because she has ‘consistently stuck to her weight training’.

In what should mark some welcome happy news for the royals, another wedding is on the horizon – but the guest list is apparently causing an almighty headache. Last month, Princess Anne’s son Peter Phillips, 47, popped the question to NHS nurse Harriet Sperling, 45, his partner of just over a year [following his divorce from Autumn Kelly in 2021]. And Prince Harry, who is close to his older cousin, is desperate to attend the big day with his wife Meghan Markle. But sources tell Bella that Kate Middleton is less than pleased with the idea of a face-to-face meeting with her sister-in-law, and the publicity a big family showdown would bring. An insider says, ‘There’s a conscious effort to think of Kate’s feelings and ensure the Wales family isn’t…

£50 Star letter Cat & Pat’s recovery While many will be disappointed that Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have split, it’s obviously hardest for them and their two sons. I know from my own divorce that it takes time and good friends to recover from what you thought would be a lifetime partnership, and that’s without the added pressure of life in the public eye.
