The Mysterious Girl singer and his doctor wife Emily MacDonagh, 34, revealed that they will be expecting their third child together next year. “We are delighted to share the news with you all.

Having left This Morning, Holly Willoughby is taking time out to consider her next move. With the star, 42, said to be in “no rush” to return to work with Dancing On Ice in January, ITV are putting “zero pressure” on her. “Everyone around her – family, friends and her team – all agreed that a really decent break from work would do her the power of good,” a source said. “ITV has assured her that there is zero pressure to be ready for Dancing On Ice even though she remains a much-loved part of the family. Nobody wants to place unrealistic expectations on Holly's shoulders and have her feel she needs to rush back.” Having been “quietly wooing” Holly over the past year, the BBC is holding back on…

Perfectly Sculpted Our facial features can begin to droop as we age, which is where Jennifer Lopez's clever contouring trick comes into play. “I used to apply contour right in the cheekbone, but now I realise if I do it a little above, it lifts the face more,” explained the 54-year-old during a make-up tutorial. The singer also recommends dotting bronzer and highlighter onto the skin to create a more natural, streak-free finish. Smokey Siren A signature smoky eye can be tricky to pull off on tired eyes, but Victoria Beckham has revealed her secret on how to make those peepers pop – by applying white eyeliner to the lower lash lane. The 49-year-old explained on social media, “It really cleans up the whites of the eye and makes eyes…

What does she want from me? Q My mum died when I was 12. I'm now in my 60s. My dad did his best to bring me up on his own, and I'm sure it wasn't easy, especially in those days. He eventually went on to remarry when I was in my 30s and that was really tough, as the so-called stepmother was more or less the same age as me. And, to make things worse, they had a baby, my half-sister, who was the apple of my dad's eye. But he died when she was 13, and after that, I no longer wanted anything to do with either of them. I only saw them because of my dad, and after he was gone there was no point keeping up…

TV WEEK Roman Kemp has been open about his struggles with his own mental health and campaigned for better understanding through his documentary Our Silent Emergency. Now he is aiming to move the conversation on from talking about mental health, to discovering what action is needed to support those suffering. He's questioning whether or not there is a worsening mental health crisis and asking if these young people should be offered more support in their own communities. Roman, 30, tells us more… Hi Roman – how did this show come about? After the last film ended, I went through a couple of years of pushing that narrative; everyone needs to talk more, the general public needs to do their bit, be the hero to their friends. There came a point…

celeb news Since moving into their new house in September 2021, Martin and Shirlie Kemp have been busy turning it into their dream home. The couple, who have been married for 35 years, have enjoyed renovating the Victorian property in Hertfordshire to their modern standards. It's where they live with their dogs Iris and Popsy, and where daughter Harley, 34, and son Roman, 30, often drop in. “We have been here two years and I have to say the original plan was a five-year project but we did most of it in a year and a half,” Shirlie, 61, said. “We had to do twice as much to the house than originally thought but we know what we have done will benefit the house and keep it going for many…

I sat back and relaxed, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Lake Garda in Italy, where I was on holiday with my family. Just then my grandad, Dave, who was a professional photographer, took out his camera. “Smile, everyone!” he said. I cringed, because at a size 22 I hated having my picture taken. As the camera clicked, I told myself I’d look OK because I was half hidden by the table we were sitting at. But when Grandad passed around the camera, I was mortified when I saw myself.“I'm only 25 and I look 20 years older than I really am,” I said to my partner Brad, 31, who was next to me. “No, you don't, you look good,” he reassured me. Brad was always making me feel better about…

She may have the figure of someone half her age, but refreshingly Anthea Turner, 63, admits she isn't a slave to the gym or daily workouts. In fact she credits walking with keeping her toned. The TV presenter and domestic goddess says walking three times a week benefits her from top to toe. “You'll hear people say they're going to pump iron or head to the gym, but they've forgotten how effective walking can be,” Anthea says. “It's one of the most important things you can do for toning, improving balance and stability, and holding into your waist. This is all particularly effective when you're in your menopausal years as the weight is harder to shift and you're at risk of osteoporosis. I don't believe in fancy Pilates classes, but…

Instead, she suggests: 1 Don't spend too long in bed. “The first thing we do when we can't sleep is start going to bed earlier to try and increase our opportunity for sleeping,” she explains. “So reduce the amount of time you spend in bed .Go to bed later and get up earlier – this will encourage your body's natural sleep drive to kick in. By reducing the time you spend in bed you will crave more sleep, fall asleep faster and find the quality will improve.” 2 Stop clock watching. “It's very tempting to look at the clock every time we wake up, but this increases the pressure to fall back to sleep, and therefore makes it less likely. Set your alarm for the morning then avoid looking at…

Look fab, FEEL GREAT! It's 40 years since Rachel Peru found her first grey hair at the age of 13. More quickly followed and, in her desperation to cover up the rogue strands, she turned to colour mousses. But by 18 she’d lost the battle and headed to her local salon. There, sitting in the hairdresser's chair, she set the pattern for the next three decades by having her full head of hair dyed and getting her roots touched up every few weeks afterwards. Rachel says, “My grandma and her sister were completely white in their 30s so the grey gene is strong in our family. I'm naturally brunette but over the years I've been every colour, from plum to bright red, bleached blonde and even navy. It was a…

£50 Star letter Cherished mother My heart went out to Lara when I read her story about her mum dying on her wedding day (issue 41). The timing of Lara's dear mum's death was so tragic. I'm glad however they went ahead with the ceremony – that's what Lara's mum would have wanted. Nobody will ever replace your mother – it's simply not possible but Lara should cherish her memory. D Roberts, Wickham Lovely Clare I loved reading your interview with Clare Balding in issue 41. She's such a lovely, positive energy whenever she's on the TV, and I really enjoyed reading about her home life with wife Alice – and of course her love of animals. I hope to see more of her on our screens. Shirley Campbell, Dumfries…

CELEB NEWS & GOSSIP Coleen Rooney has revealed how she set up the sting to snare “sly” Rebekah Vardy as the person leaking stories to the press. The WAG, 37, posted fake claims on her private Instagram page – which only Rebekah's account could view – saying she was travelling to Mexico for “baby gender selection”, after Wayne, 38, had a vasectomy. “Wayne got the snip so I knew we wouldn't have any more children,” she said in Disney+ doc The Real Wagatha Story – about their infamous court battle. “I came up with this idea about doing a story.” The stories were printed in The Sun, so Coleen found out who was behind the leak.…

Britney Spears has revealed the secret “agonising” abortion she had with Justin Timberlake's baby – because he wasn't “ready” to be a dad. The pop star, 41, and the NSYNC singer were both in their late teens when they dated between 1999 and 2002. “It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn't a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day,” she wrote in her upcoming memoir The Woman In Me. “But Justin definitely wasn't happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren't ready to have a baby, that we were way too young. To this day, it's one of the most agonising things I have ever experienced in my life.”…

She became the poster girl for fitness and healthy living with her toned physique and sunny disposition as part of ’90s pop group Steps. So it was a surprise to hear Faye Tozer admit she felt she as though she was “crumbling from the inside out” when perimenopausal symptoms zapped her of her energy. The 47-year-old star, who shares son, Benjamin, 14, with husband Michael Smith, tells Bella, “My symptoms became a lot more apparent at the end of last year. I was suffering with brain fog, anxiety, and rage – my poor family! It came flying at me at from all angles – I was getting joint pain and even my eyesight was blurring. The worst thing was that, on the outside, I looked and felt fit and healthy,…

As the sun beat down, I stepped on to the catamaran with my daughter. “I've been looking forward to this,” I said. We were in Portugal and enjoying some one-on-one quality time together. Malissa and I had always had such a close bond and we loved our trips abroad. Little did I know, our holiday was about to get even better…. As we took our seats on the boat, someone turned around. “You two sisters look so alike,” our fellow passenger said. Malissa and I exchanged glances and smiled. “We're not sisters,” I said. “We're mother and daughter!” Suddenly everyone turned around to look at us, mouths gaping. “I'm 45,” I said. “Two decades older than my daughter!” It got everyone talking, and we ended up chatting about it with…

My sister Shereen is two years younger than me, but growing up, she definitely ruled the roost. She was the outspoken, naughtier one, who didn't follow the rules. At night, she’d climb out the window to meet her friends whilst I’d sit up waiting in case Mum and Dad came upstairs. I was always covering her back, but even though we were completely different, we were fiercely close. In 2007, I had my little girl, Emmileah and nine years later, Shereen gave birth to her daughter, Emma*. Shereen's rebellious teenage years were long behind her now and she made a wonderful mum. In November 2020, Shereen had her second daughter Lily and her pregnancy and birth went smoothly. Both Mum and baby were doing well and the following month, we…
