this week in bella This week sees the tenth anniversary of ITV's awardwinning flagship breakfast show Good Morning Britain. Since 28 April 2014, GMB has been brightening up our mornings, serving up lively debates, entertaining news and drama – and all before 9.30am! Whether it's ex-presenter Piers Morgan storming off set, beaming live into our homes during the COVID-19 lockdowns or Ed Balls accidentally kicking co-host Susanna Reid in the head, there's not been a dull moment. Susanna reminisced, “I remember Ben Shephard, just as the opening credits were rolling, whispered, ‘You'll never get a second chance to enjoy this moment because this is the only moment we'll ever launch this programme to the nation. So enjoy every second of it. That's such a memorable moment for me.” For presenter…

Just months after it was revealed that King Charles was undergoing treatment for cancer, he is already making plans to return to his royal duties – with reports suggesting he'll be out and about as soon as June. The monarch, who has been largely away from the public eye since February, has revealed to aides that he would like to attend both Royal Ascot and Trooping The Colour. But a royal expert has revealed that Queen Camilla, 76, is fearful about him doing too much too soon. “Camilla will do her best to persuade Charles to take things gently. They are a very loving couple, and she will feel hugely protective of him,” Jennie Bond tells Bella. “But she also knows her husband, and she knows that his work is…

Putting on my sunglasses, I lay back and watched contentedly as my two girls plunged their spades into the sand. “We're going to make you a mermaid, Daddy,” they chuckled. I laughed as they began to shovel sand over his feet, and he, good-humouredly, allowed them to carry on until his feet were covered. It was good for us to spend time with my husband, Dallas. Our daughters loved having his full attention on holiday and we always had a fabulous time. Now I was pregnant with our third child. We'd been married for five years, after meeting on a dating website, and I'd been impressed by his drive and ambition. But our marriage had experienced some ups and downs. Dallas definitely liked to be in charge and would make…

I lay on the sonographer's bed, watching her face as she scanned my stomach. My husband, James, had COVID so couldn't be with me and despite previously suffering two devastating miscarriages, I was alone. The sonographer called the consultant over, who looked at the screen before turning to me. “There are three heartbeats,” she said. I was paralysed with shock. After the miscarriages I'd never given up hope of having children, but I hadn't expected three at once. When I got into the car afterwards, I said, “The scan was OK but there are three babies.” James was amazed but worried. For us, pregnancy had always ended in heartbreak. However, although I was anxious, and could never tell which baby was kicking, I tried to be positive for all of…

better health In the pursuit of wellbeing, we often get distracted by superfoods and expensive products, which promise to fix our health complaints and make us feel incredible. But some argue it's worth going back to basics and taking a close look at some of the hidden gems within the realm of nutrition. “One such gem is magnesium – an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions,” says Dr Naomi Newman-Beinart (PhD), health expert and nutritionist (BSc). From alleviating anxiety to promoting better sleep, enhancing bone health, uplifting mood, and boosting energy levels, we unpick its reported selling points and reveal how to harness the benefits. What is it? “Magnesium, a vital mineral, is a silent hero in our body's intricate orchestra of functions,” explains Dr…

Why you'll love it Three hundred days of sunshine a year, a relaxed vibe and the fact English is widely spoken are big draws – and Malta's British influences are still evident with familiar sights such as red post boxes. Plus, it's brilliant value. Surrounded by sparkling azure ocean and with rocky coves and sun-spot beaches, this small island in the middle of the Mediterranean has discarded its package-holiday image. From March to May, an exhibition, maltabiennale.art, takes place across Malta and nearby Gozo, and all year round, a break here offers a grown-up experience of upscale hospitality and a chance to discover its unique place in world history. The island has been inhabited since Neolithic times, so its architecture is like catnip to film crews. Perusing the ancient sights…
