After months of speculation, Jennifer Lopez has finally filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. The Love Don't Cost A Thing singer, 55, filed the legal documents last week, just over two years after she and Ben, 52, officially married in Las Vegas – and exactly two years to the day from their larger ceremony with friends and family. In the legal filing, J-Lo, who first dated Ben in the early Noughties before they reconciled decades later, lists 26 April as their official date of separation. Despite the split, Jennifer had been seen wearing her wedding ring recently. Most surprisingly, reports claim that J-Lo's legal documents suggest the pair did not have a prenup in place.…

Kate Garraway has let her hair down, dancing the night away with her loved ones as she enjoyed Camp Bestival music festival over the weekend. The Good Morning Britain host, 57, was joined by daughter Darcey, 18, and son Billy, 15, for the event, enjoying a much-needed break. It came as Kate revealed that Darcey paid an emotional visit to her late father Derek Draper's grave on his birthday to share her A-Level results. Opening up about sharing the moment with Derek – who passed away in January – Kate wrote, ‘I couldn't be prouder of [Darcey] and I know her dad would be too.’…

Despite shooting to fame with self-effacing humour and jokes about her love of food in her semi-autobiographical series Miranda, actor Miranda Hart recently admitted that she's been secretly suffering with weight gain. Taking to Instagram to promote her upcoming book entitled I Haven't Been Entirely Honest With You, Miranda, 51, revealed that her discomfort surrounding the extra pounds was a major theme in the upcoming autobiography. The six-foot-tall star shared, ‘I have found it incredibly hard not to feel shame from gaining weight over the last three years. Not because of striving for an aesthetic ideal but because it doesn't represent me and who I naturally am. But life happens. Illness happens. And it's a great way to keep focusing on the greatest healer – self-compassion. If I lose it…

My husband keeps giving our money away! Q My husband is too nice for his own good. He grew up in another country and they struggled to make ends meet. His parents made big sacrifices in order to make sure him and his brothers never went without food. They moved to the UK so the boys could get a good education. Well, it worked, and my husband has a very well-paid job. When I met him, he'd just taken out a mortgage for a house for his parents, which I thought was a definite green flag. But, as time's gone by, I think he spends too much on them. I am now expecting our first child and have just found out that he's just bought them a brand-new car –…

Shortly after returning to the cobbles, Coronation Street actor Sean Wilson has dramatically left, leaving cast and crew baffled. A spokesperson said the actor – who was returning as Martin Platt as part of Helen Worth's (Gail Platt) leaving storyline – had ‘stepped down for personal reasons.’ And sources reported that Sean, 59, never returned to set after being summoned to ITV offices. The departure left Corrie bosses facing a tough week and a tricky last-minute rewrite. Cold Feet actor John Thomson, 55, is now being brought back for a romance plotline with Gail, before Helen, 73, walks away after 50 years.…

Coleen Nolan is riding a wave of positivity. She's in a great relationship with partner Michael Jones, recently moved house and has a new book out – about a subject she and all the Nolan sisters are very familiar with: grief. We caught up with Coleen, 59, – who has sons Shane Jr, 35 and Jake, 31, with first husband Shane Richie and daughter Ciara, 23, with second husband Ray Fensome – to talk about supporting her friend Ruth Langsford, dealing with loss and her animal menagerie.

There's still a lot of ageism around in…

Growing up, I was slim and active, but when I hit my late teens things started to change. Working long shifts in a supermarket, I was constantly on the go, just grabbing whatever was available. I relied a lot on vending machine snacks and meal-deal sandwiches and, by time I finished work, I was too tired to cook and would often grab a KFC on the way home. When I met my partner Steven in 2008, I was a size 10, but as I got more comfortable in my relationship and settled into a routine, my weight gradually crept up. By the time we got married in November 2018, I was a size 14-16. I was a member of a gym and would try dieting on and off, but nothing…

Seven years ago, I was living at home with my parents, and my older sister Chloe. I was studying psychology at university, socialising with my friends, and going horse-riding on the weekends. At 19 years old, I didn't have any specific plans for the future. I was just enjoying the journey and excited about what lay ahead. Then, what started out as an ordinary day in September 2017, my life changed forever… On that day, Chloe, then 22, and I had started to feel sick. It began with really bad stomach aches and cramps. We went to the doctor, who said it would pass like a regular stomach bug. Chloe got better quickly, but I didn't. Mum took me to A&E because I was deteriorating quickly. I was confused, talking…
