Last October, the news that Holly Willoughby was at the centre of an alleged kidnap plot shook the world. Holly’s exit from This Morning followed shortly after, but with the accused standing trial last week, the details of the case are being revealed for the first time. While Holly is not attending the trial, the mother of three has waived her automatic right to anonymity, which all alleged victims of sexual offences or related charges are entitled to. Security guard Gavin Plumb, 37, began his trial at Chelmsford Crown Court last week, with the court being told of his horrifying alleged plans to kidnap, rape and murder Holly. A jury heard that Gavin had more than 10,000 pictures of the Dancing on Ice host on his phone when he was…

My whole life is a lie Q I'm sure you don’t get many letters from men, but I didn’t know who else to ask for advice. My partner and I had a son together pretty soon after getting together when we were in our early 20s. I found out a few weeks ago that he isn’t mine. When he turned 21, his grandma, my partner’s mum, thought it was time he knew the truth, so told him. He asked his mum about it, and she made him promise not to tell me. This was two years ago. When I found out I left the family home and cut all contact. I am so angry with everyone for keeping this from me. At my ex for lying to me for the…

They said they were “determined to stay friends and keep things amicable”. However, one month since they announced they were to divorce, Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford seem to be on more turbulent terrain than ever. Any hope they had of transitioning from spouses to close friends seems to be fading by the day, with Ruth questioning everything she knows about the man she married. According to insiders, Ruth, 64, has been totally blindsided by reports that Eamonn, also 64, has been turning to a number of women to support him through the split. Last week, it emerged that – having already been linked to two different women – the GB News presenter has been leaning on a third, podcaster Hayley Sparkes. While there is no suggestion that Hayley, 40,…

As a former British tennis star, Annabel Croft, 57, had fairly good athletic odds when she signed up for Strictly Come Dancing last year. She hoped to learn how to dance, to throw herself into the experience and to have fun, but never in a million years did she expect to reach the semi-finals. Thanks to the coaching and friendship she received from her partner Johannes Radebe, 37, Annabel did all that and more. Her stint on Strictly was all the more moving given that she lost her husband Mel Coleman to cancer just a few months prior. As a huge Strictly fan, Mel ’s passing inspired her to take part in the show to distract her from her grief. Now, nearly six months on, Annabel is still enjoying the…

But looking through the pictures, I got a shock… I loved the ones of the kids posing cheekily for the camera and Matt looked great too.…

She’s always been my favourite royal. People forget that while the King and Princess of Wales are battling cancer, she has been doing the same. She’s done very well for herself, in my humble opinion, and oozes warmth and humour. Hannah Bryan, Merseyside Poor Jen Your story about Jennifer Lopez cancelling her tour (issue 24) was very sad to read. Amid all the rumours about what is going on with her and Ben Affleck, you can’t help but feel sorry for her. I know she rubs some people up the wrong way, but…

TV interview Tom Kerridge is waving goodbye to his restaurant kitchen and hitting the road in a custom-built ’50s truck, complete with pizza oven, barbecue and travel-size equipment. His mission is to meet the producers, farmers and fishermen who put food on our tables across the length and breadth of the UK. He will be with them helping out as they harvest a diverse range of produce, then cooking up a storm with the ingredients to serve up to the growers themselves. Tom, 50, spent a year on the project and says the easy-to-make recipes he will be demonstrating really allow us to taste the best of British produce. How was the road trip element of the show? Mega, to be honest. It was amazing. We are lucky that a…

Jill: 'alcohol was my escape' Jill Halfpenny has opened up about her secret struggle with alcohol addiction, which she says stems from the sudden death of her father from a heart attack when she was just four. In her new memoir, A Life Reimagined, the former EastEnders star admitted that she would binge drank to “escape” and “stop overthinking”. Things changed for Jill, 48, in 2013, when she realised she had a problem and attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. “For a long time, alcohol had helped me escape, to stop thinking. Conversely, I thought it also helped me access all the things that lay dormant inside me,” she said. However, it wasn’t the only tragedy Jill would face. In 2017, her partner Matt Janes died of a heart attack aged…

Staring at the stage, I was smitten by the gorgeous good looks of the band’s lead singer. When they’d finished, I could barely believe my luck when he left the stage in the bar and sat next to me. Swapping chat, I learnt that we had a lot in common. Like me, Corey was divorced with two children and he wasn’t a professional singer, he was actually a stuntman. I listened, rapt, as he told me how he’d started work on the wellknown TV series The Dukes Of Hazzard when he was 18, and had forged a successful career in television and films. “I’ve had a few bumps and concussions along the way, but nothing too serious,” he said, when I asked him if it was dangerous. Soon, we started…
