Sommaire pour 24 September 2024 de Bella

Our autumnal Tuesday nights are set to be livened up once again as The Great British Bake Off returns on 24 September. A new batch of aspiring bakers will head into the famous white tent to show off their culinary skills and take on the challenges to try to impress judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith so they can be named Star Baker and maybe even win a Hollywood handshake. Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding are back to host the show, which is now in its 15th series, and bring laughs and tongue-in-cheek commentary over the bakes. Fans are already excited for the upcoming episodes. ‘I can't wait for the new series. Bring. It. On,’ one watcher said, as another fan joked, ‘Plot twist – every episode is Bread Week.’…

He's a staple for Friday night TV with his chat show, The Graham Norton Show, which has been running for an impressive 17 years. As as the comedian gets ready to return, Graham, 61, tells us all about how he gets prepared for filming, the A-list star he couldn't wait to meet, and being a Swiftie… How does it feel to return to The Graham Norton Show after seven months away? Well, it's that weird thing on that first day back. There's something so familiar about it, because I've been on that set for so many years, but it's also exciting. I would say it's sort of like riding a bike, but you don't know where you're going on that bike. What do you do before the show to get…

You're tired all the time and have noticed that you're going to the toilet more. You've been putting it down to stress. But should you be worried? We know that age-specific incidence rates of bowel cancer rise steeply from the age of 50. However, over the last 20 years, the number of adults aged 25 to 49 being diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK has increased by around 50%. ‘This increase in people under 50 being diagnosed with bowel cancer is alarming and a trend we're noticing, not only in this country, but across many parts of the world,’ explains Genevieve Edwards, Bowel Cancer UK's Chief Executive. ‘Yet whilst we can see rates increasing, at the moment, we don't understand specifically what's behind it. This is why current research,…

Six months after revealing that she was undergoing preventive chemotherapy for cancer, Kate Middleton has shared a video to reveal that she has completed her treatment. Last week, an emotional video was released on the Prince and Princess of Wales's social media platforms, featuring Kate and William, both 42, along with their children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, on a family outing in the countryside. Speaking in a voiceover, the princess said, ‘As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

No Eimear O'Hagan, 43, journalist Twirling in front of the mirror, I caught a glimpse of my friend's disapproving face. ‘Don't you think you're a bit…. old for that outfit?’ she asked, gesturing at the animal print mini-dress and sparkly heels I was trying on. ‘You're 43 now, not 23,’ she added in a judgy tone. We're always brutally honest with one another, so I didn't take offence at her ‘feedback’, I simply laughed and replied, ‘No!’ ‘Dressing for your age’ is a load of nonsense – what does that phrase even mean? It's ludicrous. Open up my wardrobe and you'll find everything from glam dresses with high hems to skyscraper heels and low-cut tops. Sure, I have athleisure wear for doing the school run, but when I want to…

S at at my desk, I looked up to see a tall, slender bloke was hovering awkwardly in front of me. ‘I'm here to apply for the lorry driver position,’ he said. ‘OK, just sit over there and fill out this form,’ I replied, confused as to why he came to our office when most people applied online. His name was Jan Schlossar, and we'd briefly spoken on the phone about the position an hour beforehand. As he sat filling in the forms at our recruitment company, he kept staring across at me every few minutes. After several hours, I realised he was still sitting there. ‘I can't believe he's still here,’ I said to my colleague. When he was finally done he handed me the form, but leant in…

My face throbbed as the doctor examined my retinas for signs of concussion. I was 15 and I'd been out on my motorbike when I crashed into a tree. My nose was definitely broken, but now, the hospital doctor treating me had seen something else and referred me for tests. The results revealed that I had retinitis pigmentosa – a degenerative eye condition that eventually leads to blindness. ‘It could happen next week, or in 10 years. There's no way of knowing,’ the doctor said. I was devastated. Ever since I'd been little, my dream had been to race motorbikes. My parents tried their best to be supportive, but I was so traumatised, I refused to talk about it. Over the few years, I lived in denial and continued racing…

Travel like a local Walking is the most common way to explore Porto, but there are also lots of other ways to get around the city and, as Porto's roads can be steep, mixing up your modes of transport will also give your legs a rest. Before the city wakes and the hustle and bustle begins, spend a morning in a TukTuk exploring the narrow roads that were originally built to accommodate barrels of wine and animals. The Metro is a popular way to get from A to B – and an affordable option, with a single ticket costing just €1.20. But, if you would like a more memorable experience, opt for the historic Porto tram city tour. Hop on at Passeio Alegre and alight at Infante, from where you…
