this week in bella Carrie Bradshaw, how we've missed you! Yes, Sarah Jessica Parker, 59, is stepping back into those iconic heels as Sex And The City spin-off series And Just Like That has begun shooting its third season. SJP has been spotted on set in New York wearing some seriously colourful high-fashion outfits, from a pink mesh dress with appliqué roses to a rhinestone-adorned blue number. One look fans online are less sure on is the comically large gingham hat she was seen wearing during one day's shooting. But if it's good enough for Carrie, we'll have to trust the process! Her co-star Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte, has also been photographed wearing a host of stylish fits on set. She'll be back along with Cynthia Nixon as Miranda…

Following the shocking news that Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford were splitting after 27 years together, an insider has since revealed that Eamonn has been leaning on a female friend for support through his heartache. Ruth is said to be extending her break from TV work and a source tells Bella that the 64 year old has been left “devastated by the entire thing.” Reports have surfaced that Eamonn, 64, has been supported in his marriage split by a blonde divorcee in her 40s. It's said the pair have become friends after the mystery woman – who works as a relationship counsellor – connected with Eamonn on social media several years ago. While Ruth and Eamonn's separation has only recently been made public, it's been reported they split a while…

bella debate No ‘Any bond you form online is not necessarily a true one’ Mel Fallowfield, 51, writer I don't understand why people get het up about online flirtations – that's a more appropriate term for a virtual affair. I realise I'm going against the grain here and that “emotional ” affairs apparently exist, but, in my book, it's only an affair when bodily fluids are exchanged. Any bond you form online is not necessarily a true one. Take the scenario that so many of us have experienced. You meet someone on an app, you flirt, you exchange secrets, you tell jokes – you think you might have “something” and look forward to meeting them. Then when you do – there's nothing, no chemistry, no fizz, zero connection. That's because until…

• Most cancer specialists recommend trying a healthy Mediterranean diet to help prevent cancer. This way of eating includes plenty of vegetables, fruits, herbs, nuts, beans and wholegrains, moderate amounts of dairy, poultry and eggs, with red meat eaten only occasionally. It may lower your risk of dying from any type of cancer by 28 per cent. • Being active can help you keep a healthy weight, which reduces the risk of 13 different types of cancer. It doesn't have to high-impact exercise. Walk fast enough to get the heart rate up for about 30 minutes, four or five times a week. • Stop smoking. The habit causes at least 15 different types of cancer, for example, cervical cancer, which mostly affects women in the 30-34 age group. Those who…

We are about to experience the Targaryen civil war, which will trigger a chain of very disturbing events. Emma D'Arcy, who plays Rhaenyra, says we can expect to see some raw emotion from her character. “I don't think there is any longer the bandwidth to suppress and repress her nature,” she says. “I am excited to discover what happens when Rhaenyra does less navigating and more acting on her instincts and desires.” • House Of The Dragon, Monday 17 June, Sky Atlantic and NOW NICOLE'S TRUTH This week marks the 30th anniversary of the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson – and the start of a trial which had the…

It's been just over a year since Phillip Schofield stepped down from This Morning after details of his “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague came to light, and since then the 62 year old has kept a relatively low profile. In recent weeks however, rumours have started circulating that Phillip is eyeing a return to the spotlight, with his recent movements sparking speculation that the presenter has got big plans in the pipeline. Most recently, he's hired his daughter Molly, 30, as his new manager. Molly used to work at London-based talent firm YMU but quit 10 months after her father left the agency himself. This move is a very strong indicator that he isn't ready to leave showbiz for good. This follows a recent four-hour…

My son Alex was smart and funny. He often had me doubled over with laughter with his jokes or funny stories about what he'd been up too. He'd just finished his university degree and, with his undeniable charm, I knew he'd do well and I was excited for his future. Then one morning I received a message from the mother of one of his friends. “Have you heard from Alex?” it read. It had been a hectic few days and we hadn't had a chance to catch up. All I knew was that he was staying with a friend in Zurich. Feeling anxious, I rang his friend's mum. “I've heard there's been some sort of altercation,” she said, hesitantly. “I'll call him,” I said. But when I dialled his number,…

Having been out of action from her royal duties since January, it's no surprise that the Princess of Wales wasn't at recent rehearsals for Trooping the Colour. But now rumours are swirling that Kate Middleton may make a surprise public appearance at the event this weekend, marking her big return to royal life. At the time of going to press, the Firm hadn't confirmed whether Kate, 42, will be joining other royals on the Buckingham Palace balcony to witness the RAF Flypass on Saturday 15 June. If she attends, it will mark the princess' first public appearance since having abdominal surgery in January, and she's said to be uncertain what to do. “Kate's feeling torn,” a source has claimed. “While she knows she needs to take time out of the…

real life BEFORE 21st 7lbs Size 24-26 AFTER 12st 3lbs Size 12 Getting out of bed, my heart sank. I loved my job as a civil servant but getting ready for work every morning was a battle as I desperately tried to cover my body in baggy clothes. At 18st, I'd been overweight for as long as I could remember. Due to my height – aged 10, I was already 5ft 8in – I ate big portions and, by the time I left primary school, I was a size 14-16. I was always the “bigger” friend and, during my 20s, I was stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting and binge eating. I buried myself in my career and avoided socialising and dating – I dreaded work events and often…

better health When Catherine, Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis earlier this year, she shocked the world. But the princess' personal health trauma has shone a light on a rising trend – younger people receiving diagnoses. “Globally and in the UK, we're seeing a small increase in rates of early onset cancers affecting people aged 25-49,” says Dr Julie Sharp, head of health information at Cancer Research UK. So, what is behind the uptick in cancer cases? “There isn't a definitive answer to what's causing the rise, but preventable risk factors, genetics and improvements to early detection might all play a part,” says Dr Sharp. One large-scale review by Dr Shuji Ogino and Dr Tomotaka Ugai from Harvard University compared data from around the world to help doctors and…

As we gathered in our warehouse for another busy working day, my brother-in-law Ross strode in the room wearing his infectious smile. “Here he is,” said my fiancé, Christian. “Ross the boss.” Since the three of us co-founded our brand, Stand Out Socks, in 2021, Ross' confidence was soaring, and he took immense pride in himself and his position. It meant the world to us to see him thriving, as that hadn't always been the case. Having Down's syndrome and a learning disability, Ross had faced many hurdles over the years. Christian and I became a couple 15 years ago, and I first met Ross in 2010 on a family holiday to Bulgaria, where Christian and I were living at the time. I adored Ross instantly. He was hilarious and…

escapes Why go? Our seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise on the glorious Disney Fantasy Ship set sail from Port Canaveral in Florida, USA, which is just over an hour's drive from Orlando. The journey started with a huge welcome as we boarded the ship and, for a super-magical touch, the horn even played out the notes to When You Wish Upon A Star as we left the port. There are Disney characters at every turn on the ship, and we seemed to bump into one just around every corner, which was wonderful. We never had to queue too long for a photo. We stayed in an Oceanview Veranda cabin, which was very spacious and can comfortably sleep a family of four. The cabin has a sofa bed, which was transformed into…

It's hard to believe that it's already been almost four years since the BBC launched their flagship daytime show Morning Live. Broadcast from Manchester every weekday, the show is presented by Gethin Jones, Helen Skelton, Michelle Ackerley and a host of rotating stars. And as the show continues to beat rival This Morning in the ratings war, Gethin, 46, Helen, 40, and Michelle, 39, chat to Bella about the secrets to their success and their friendship both on and off screen. What do you think is the secret behind the show's success? Helen: All the elements. It's the conversations you are having with your friends but on the telly! It's the extension of the “nice to know, need to know”. Gethin: We pride ourselves on getting things right. We feel like…
