Prince Harry's explosive allegations in his memoir, Spare, may have thrown Prince William and Kate Middleton some unwelcome attention over the past month, but their BAFTA appearance last week proved the King and Queen in waiting are more united than ever as fans fawned over their flirty display. Wearing bridal white, complemented by black silk gloves, Kate, 41, reached over to cheekily tap William's bottom as they took to the red carpet, while the couple were seen whispering into each other's ears and smiling widely. “You can see the chemistry between these two!” wrote one fan on social media, while another added, “Not Princess Kate tapping William on the a*** in front of the world!” HAPPY PLACE And now a source reveals that the couple are so content and secure…

Coleen Rooney was praised by fans last week for giving them a glimpse inside the chaos of her life as she shared hilarious footage of her four sons taking turns to flip pancakes before school, with one having a tantrum, as she attempted to plaster on a smile. The mum-of four, 36, has been solo parenting her four sons – Kai, 13, Klay, nine, Kit, seven, and Cass, five – while her husband of 15 years, exfootballer Wayne Rooney, 37, manages soccer team D.C. United in Washington. And while Coleen has successfully managed to juggle both Kit and Cass’ birthdays over the last fortnight, an insider says the busy mum is “determined” to make their arrangement work – urging Wayne to pursue his goals following his unwavering support during her…

NEWS Lauren Goodger has had her fair share of heartbreak over the past 12 months – facing the devastating loss of her second baby and the collapse of her relationship with Charles Drury, dad to her 19-month-old daughter Larose. Charles, 25, was arrested in August last year after allegedly assaulting Lauren heartbreakingly on the same day as their second daughter Lorena's funeral. But last week, fans were shocked when the former TOWIE star, 36, was pictured with her bad boy ex on a day out at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire – hinting the couple are back together. VULNERABLE And now an insider says that Lauren's friends and family are concerned about her. The source says, “Lauren knows that her pals are worried about her being around Charles, but at…

Former TOWIE star Sam Faiers sparked outrage last week after posting about the “exhausting” flight back from her free luxury holiday to Abu Dhabi. Posting a picture from the family's first-class flight, Sam wrote to her 2.5m followers, “The truth is, going on holiday with small children is tough, especially with a crawling, teething baby. EXHAUSTED “We have had the most wonderful time in the sunshine, swimming everyday, exploring, sightseeing and eating lots of ice cream, but it's exhausting, remember nobody said it was easy. “As for the flight home, Edward slept maybe 1 hour out of 7.5, safe to say I was doing everything I could to keep him entertained without crying… Thank you @ etihad for allowing me to wander about in the kitchen area for a change…

Actress Patsy Kensit has revealed that she's engaged for the fifth time, to property tycoon Patric Cassidy. Following a whirlwind romance which began in August, the EastEnders star posted a picture on Instagram of her millionaire future husband, 58, down on one knee on the beach surrounded by rose petals in the shape of a heart with the caption, “I said Yes”. The surprising announcement comes after the 54-year-old insisted that she wasn't planning on walking down the aisle again following the collapse of her three-year marriage to DJ Jeremy Healy in February 2010. Speaking in 2012, the star – who wed first husband, musician Dan Donovan, in 1988 when she was just 19 explained, “I don't have any plans to get hitched in the future. In many ways I…

She was this year's breakout Casa Amor star due to her shocking dalliance with fan favourite Will Young, and now Layla Al-Momani says that, despite everything that happened, she'd still like to see Will once he leaves the villa. Layla, 28, reveals, “Me and Will got on really well and I'd love to be friends with him If him and Jessie are together, I'm not going to beeline and be weird, but obviously I'd love to have him in my life.” TROUBLE The brand managing director sent shockwaves through the villa when she appeared to immediately set her sights on farmer Will, 23, claiming that he hadn't yet been able to be himself on the show. But despite sharing a bed every night and having a cheeky kiss on the…

As we enter into the lunar new year of the rabbit, the fluffy household pet has never been more in need of help. Despite huge demand for pet rabbits in the UK during and after lockdown, rescue centres have been running beyond capacity, with many having to close or downsize due to a strain on resources. The latest data reveals there are over one million pet rabbits in the UK, 20,000 of which were bred in the last two years, making them the third most popular pet after dogs and cats. Yet unlike pups and kittens, there is no legal requirement of a licence to breed bunnies, meaning that many are born into unsafe, unsanitary conditions. They are also frequently mis-sexed, which means pet owners can unknowingly be taking home…

FEEL GOOD SPECIAL! Since finding fame as a finalist on The Great British Bake Off, Laura Adlington has been a breath of fresh air when it comes to championing body confidence. The star, 33, regularly posts plus-size fashion and body positive content on her social media and has also launched a hugely successful podcast dedicated to helping people learn to love themselves as they are. “I get messages every day from people saying, ‘I'm wearing a swimming costume or bikini for the first time today because of you’,” she explains. “It means so much to me, and doing the podcast has also massively helped me, sol always think ‘likewise’.” BODY ACCEPTANCE Laura – who hosts her podcast Go Love Yourself alongside best friend Lauren Smith – says she has completely…

Dry January may be a distant memory, but the trend for cutting down on booze is showing no signs of stopping. Just under three quarters of Tinder users claim in their profiles that they never, or only occasionally, drink. This surprises me, as often when I've suggested to dates we meet for a coffee, they tend to react in horror, and admit they'd prefer a drink. It does worry me that so many of the men I match with feel that they'll need alcohol to hang out with me, but what I pay more attention to is how perhaps if they aren't confident to have a dry date, then are they really the person for me? I know alcohol has been a crutch for a lot of us when meeting…

Research estimates that wasting food costs the average UK family more than £700 a year. Time to use up everything… • FREEZE VEG NEARING SELL BY DATE I empty my fridge drawers and find all the oldish bits of veg that are left, such as carrots, leeks, broccoli – I chop these up and put them in a freezer bag. I can make fridge raid soup I add to stews. It means I always have veg of some sort in my freezer. • BLITZ FRUIT THAT'S SEEN BETTER DAYS I do exactly the same with berries and apples and grapes and use these to make smoothies. ● RESCUE BROWN BANANAS I break up any brown bananas that the family have vetoed because they are too old. I freeze them and…

Of all the advice we've ever been given, this is perhaps the most real. Thanks Cardi! (That's the last time we try to get away with holding onto our library books for an extra week…). Memo to all UK bar staff: Rylan has had enough – repeat, he's had enough. Do not serve him any more drinks for at least the rest of the month.

Smiling in the mirror, Susan Smith* admired her hot-pink pout and platinum locks. She finally felt like the person she had always longed to be – Barbie. Since she was a child, Susan has been obsessed with the doll but as she grew up, she felt like the stereotypical blonde, smallwaisted Barbie was a far cry from her teenage self. So she made it her mission to transform herself into areal-life version of the doll. After two breast augmentations, Botox, lip filler and corset training, Susan was well on the way to achieving the look that she longed for. Her transformation cost her £15,000 – but the biggest price she paid was the loss of her family, who were less than impressed with Susan's new look and no longer speak…

The honeymoon period seems well and truly over for Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz amid a series of bombshell allegations, which have emerged in the middle of a bitter lawsuit over their £3 million nuptials. According to legal papers filed by Nicola's billionaire father, Nelson Peltz, against the couple's wedding planners – who were fired weeks before their big day last April – his daughter's so-called “dream wedding” to the Beckhams’ eldest son at his Palm Beach mansion was allegedly so chaotic he wanted to call it off, branding the star-studded event a“sh*tshow”. DISBELIEF Now insiders say Brooklyn's fashionista mum, Victoria, is cringing over the allegations. Our source says, “Vic's in a state of disbelief, insisting she knew nothing about the chaos behind the scenes at the couple's wedding, or…

Love dramas Vanessa Feltz put on a brave face while celebrating her 61st birthday last week – saying she was “touched to her soul” by all the support from fans. But despite her birthday celebrations, the TV personality revealed she's been left feeling “battered and bruised” after splitting from partner of 16 years, singer Ben Ofoedu who allegedly cheated on her while on a tour. While Vanessa put on a brave face, insiders say Ben, 50 who recently revealed he is homeless after being thrown out of the star's home – is desperate to win her back. A source close to Vanessa reveals, “Ben has made it clear to Vanessa he deeply regrets what happened. He's told her that cheating on her has been the biggest mistake he's ever made,…

When Alexis Theriot said “I do” to her fiancé, Cameron, it should have been the happiest day of her life. But instead, the 33-year-old spent the whole day in agony after a botched eyelash extension procedure almost left her blind. Unbeknown to Alexis during the appointment, the tape applied to her bottom lashes to stop them gluing together, sliced almost the entire length of both her eyeballs. Alexis, who is mum to four children aged eight, seven, four and three, says, “The pain was excruciating, and the prospect of losing my sight was devastating. I was terrified I wouldn't be able to see my children grow up. “The fact it was all for my wedding was so upsetting I'm heartbroken my big day was ruined over something as small as…

LUCA ‘Love is on the back step for now’ He was runner-up in last year's Love Island with his ex-girlfriend Gemma Owen, but Luca Bish was undoubtedly one of the series’ most divisive characters. And now he says if he'd give the Islanders advice, he'd warn them against letting their emotions run too high and losing themselves while in the villa. Luca, 23, says, “I'd say, ‘Just remember who you are on the outside’, because you do lose yourself a little bit in there. It's hard. All of your emotions come out very quickly and it's intense.” CONTROVERSY Luca, a former fishmonger from Brighton, speaks from experience. After forming connections with Paige Thorne and Tasha Ghouri, Luca became the subject of controversy when he clashed with both Tasha and Gemma…

She dropped exciting news for fans last week as Michelle Keegan revealed that she's landed a role in brand new Netflix drama Fool Me Once. And while some followers congratulated her on the impressive career move – which she teased on her Instagram under the heading “Finally the secret's out” – a few were left disappointed that it wasn't a much anticipated baby announcement, with one writing, “I thought this would be abump reveal!” EXCITING NEWS Michelle's new project is an eightpart thriller based on Harlan Cohen's best-selling novel from 2016, and filming has already commenced in Manchester – meaning Michelle will be spending much of the foreseeable away from their newly-renovated £3.5m Essex home.

• Don't breed to sell, and rescue from shelters rather than shops. • If you already have rabbits, make sure they are vaccinated, correctly sexed and neutered. • Do your research, contact rescue centres and organisations for advice. • If your same sex rabbits start to fight, don't give up hope, there are specialists who can help with “bunny bonding” to reunite your fighting pets. • Rabbits should ideally be kept in neutered pairs, or they may suffer from stress and loneliness. • In their typical 10-year lifespan rabbits can cost up to £11,000 in vet bills, food and enclosures and need adequate space to keep fit, healthy, and happy. The best outdoor accommodation for a pair of rabbits should include either a shed or Wendy house attached to a…

FEEL GOOD SPECIAL! Next month marks 15 years since Katie Piper survived horrific injuries in a brutal acid attack, which left her scarred for life and blind in one eye. Despite facing unimaginable trauma, the mum-of-two has forged an incredible career as a TV presenter, charity campaigner and author of several bestselling books. Her latest is a children's book called All You Need, which follows an adorable mouse on an adventure centred on courage and bravery. “I focused on courage, faith, kindness, joy and calm in the book, because they are life skills,” says Katie, 39. “If we ever feel down, incomplete, unfulfilled or depressed, it's usually because one of those areas is lacking. They are things we all possess, but we don't always know it.” Here are some of…

The pandemic taught us that a lot of previously office-based jobs can be done remotely, that our careers can work around childcare and other responsibilities, and that flexible working is linked to increased levels of staff retention, engagement and wellbeing.
