It's going to be an exciting year ahead for Holly Willoughby – kicking off with her back in the rink on Dancing on Ice. The 43-year-old star has hosted almost every series since it started in 2006, and it's the perfect platform to show the world that she's back and better than ever. However, DOI won't be Holly's only small-screen stint; you can also tune in to see her join Bear Grylls on Celebrity Bear Hunt in February on Netflix, where the 50-year-old adventurer will hunt down famous celebs. This follows her TV comeback back in December when she took over the reins of the You Bet! reboot on ITV alongside long-time friend Stephen Mulhern, 47. The mum-of-three jetted off to Mauritius last month to enjoy some well-deserved downtime with…

Fans would probably be able to identify Joanna Page just by her iconic Welsh accent, but considering she's been in some of the greatest British creations of all time – Love Actually and Gavin & Stacey for starters – it's fair to say that her face is just as recognisable. And following that incredible final episode of Gavin & Stacey last year, Jo, 47, is returning to our TV screens for something different. In Joanna Page's Wild Life, the titular star is living out her childhood dreams by volunteering as an Animal Care Assistant at the Wildlife Aid Foundation in Leatherhead. She talks to Bella about the experience and why her children Eva, 10, Kit, eight, Noah, six, and Boe, three, were particularly interested… Was filming Joanna Page's Wild Life…

Picking up the remote control, I pointed it at the telly to turn up the volume. I always relished Saturday night, watching my favourite show, Strictly Come Dancing, with my husband, James. As the music switched from an upbeat salsa to the brooding intensity of the Argentine tango I watched, mesmerised, as the couple flicked their legs in and out and wrapped them provocatively around each other. ‘I needed a willing partner’ The chemistry between the two sizzled. ‘How much fun would it be to learn the tango?’ I said to James. But he didn't seem as keen as me. ‘One day, maybe,’ he said. His passions were karate and computer games, not sequins and dance steps. We'd been married for more than 20 years after meeting at university, but…

AFTER 9st 5lb Size 8-10 BEFORE 16st 16lb Size 18-20 As a mum to three children, I noticed the weight gradually creeping on. By 2016, I was unhappy with how I looked and felt, so I joined Slimming World. It worked wonders. I lost around two stone and got down to a size 12-14. I felt great and planned to keep going. But then life threw me a curveball… My partner, David, became unwell, and life changed overnight. Between juggling home life and frequent hospital appointments, I couldn't attend my weekly Slimming World group. I had little time for myself to think about what I was eating and how it was impacting my mental and physical health. Although I prepared healthy meals for our family, I would often grab whatever…

Alison Hammond has worked her way to becoming one of TV's most beloved presenters – but the national treasure is set to take some time away from the screen, as a source reveals that she's considering a break ahead of her 50th birthday in February. Last year was great for Alison, with the presenter having her most successful time yet – both personally and professionally. Returning for another series of Bake Off, the This Morning presenter also landed a gig as host of For The Love of Dogs – taking over from the late Paul O'Grady. Not only has her career boomed, but Alison's personal life has also seen new heights. She confirmed her romance with masseuse David Putman, 27, earlier this year – revealing that her son Aidan, 19,…

No Paula Costas, 30, journalist ‘Nothing and nowhere is cheap these days!’ Tapping my phone on the card machine, I picked up the tiny glass of rose-pink liquid and knocked it back before slamming it down onto the bar. Four hens, eight flights and a whole lotta shots later, I was done. With back-to-back bachelorettes, summer 2024 was the most expensive of my life and it really did feel like my money was leaving my bank account just as fast as I could chuck back a tequila rose. When the time comes for my big send off, I absolutely wouldn't want anyone spending a small fortune, however, I understand how difficult it can be as a maid-of-honour, planning a budget hen when nothing and nowhere is cheap these days! Plus,…

BEFORE 18st 8lb Size 20-22 AFTER 10st 8lb Size 10-12 I had my first daughter, Tia, when I was just 17. My partner, Danny, and I moved in together soon after. At the time, neither of us knew much about cooking, and money was tight, so we lived off cheap, processed food like frozen meals. Every Friday night, we'd head to Blockbuster, pick out a DVD, and load up on snacks like popcorn, crisps and ice cream. The weight crept on and by my 20s, I was yo-yoing between a size 16 and 18. I'd always go on a crash diet before a holiday, cutting out everything I enjoyed. But as soon as I was back home, the weight would pile back on. When I had our second daughter, Layla,…

BEFORE 16st 1lb Size 20-22 AFTER 10st 10lb Size 10-12 I never struggled with confidence or self-esteem issues because of my weight, but it did hold me back in other ways. For years, I avoided activities like jet-skiing on holiday or theme park rides, as I always worried I wouldn't fit on or that I'd feel out of control. On top of that, I was a busy mum with four children under seven. I was a size 20-22 and carrying the extra weight on my body made me feel more tired and I often felt older than my actual age. My children were active and sporty, and I wanted to keep up with them. I tried various diets, like low-fat, low-carb and cutting out entire food groups, but they always…

If you've been considering cutting back or giving up alcohol, 2025 is the perfect time to make the leap. The sober-curious movement is thriving, with more people embracing the benefits of a booze-free life. One of the hardest parts of going sober is attending social situations where booze is prevalent.
