To keep the January blues away, there's no shortage of new shows to help us stay entertained. Enter a new offering into the ring: Gladiators. More than 30 years after it first aired, the ‘90s games tournament – in which contestants unveil their competitive rivalry and sporting prowess to take on elite athletes and bodybuilders in tests of speed and strength – has been revived. Father and son duo Bradley and Barney Walsh will be hosting the show, now on BBC One. Bradley, 63, – who was nicknamed Crumpet when he stripped down to his tight Lycra shorts for the 1997 celebrity version of the show – said, “It's a fantastic spectacle. Drama, laughter, excitement, it's a proper event. They've done a great job of paying homage to the original,…

Chloe Madeley has revealed that her parents Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan have been “incredible” in the wake of her marriage split. The personal trainer, 36, separated from husband James Haskell, with whom she shares 17-month-old daughter Bodhi, last September. “My mum and dad's title line is, ‘As long as you're happy, we support you,’” she said. “The day that the [split] statement came out, I went round to my parents’ house and I just sat and cried all day. They just gave me massive hugs and didn't leave my side. I'm so grateful to have parents like that.”…

CLAIRE: ‘My bum was hanging out on my first day!’ The Corrie star, 52, talks mishaps and getting fit What made you say yes to Dancing On Ice? I'm a fan of the show. I've had quite a few friends who've done it who've absolutely loved the experience, and I wanted to get a skater's bum! I look at what The Vivienne lost, like nearly four stone. How wonderful to learn a new skill and get a really fit body. And you know what? As you get older, you get a bit more fearful and you get a bit more cautious. To really conquer something that is terrifying is wonderful. Are you going to embrace the sequin, the Lycra, the big hair? Oh my God, yeah, absolutely. Nothing is too much!…

Putting on my cloak, I looked at myself in the mirror. “I can't believe he's gone”, I said. The weight of grief pressed down on my shoulders. It was 1998, I was just 13 years old, and I had lost my father to a drunk driver. My mother tried to keep a brave face, but she was distraught. A well-loved figure in our Amish community, my father had served as a preacher, spreading kindness and love. Our family, consisting of my parents and 18 siblings, was deeply embedded in the Amish community in Ohio, USA. The following days after my father's passing were a blur. Hundreds of people would come by to our 88 acre farm everyday. They'd lend a hand cooking and cleaning before visiting my father's body. After…

She faced a Christmas nightmare when her husband Derek Draper had a life-threatening heart attack in December. And now a source tells Bella that Kate Garraway has been trying to keep as positive as possible for her family, despite a month of hell, while remaining at Derek's bedside in hospital. The source said, “The last few weeks have been hellish for Kate. She came very close to losing Derek so it's been an incredibly traumatic time for Kate, for the children and for all of their family and friends. “It obviously had a huge impact on Christmas.

As I opened another bag of crisps, I sighed. Yet another failed diet, I thought to myself miserably, tearing into my second family-size bag of Walkers crisps. You name a diet – over the years I'd tried it. I always started with great intentions, but always fell off the wagon. My love of salty savoury snacks, office nibbles and takeaways always won out. I've always been “the big girl”. I was chubby as a child and, by the time I was 18, I was a size 18. When I met my now-fiancé Lee, in May 2009, aged 38, I was a curvy size 20 at just 5ft tall. We got chatting on a dating site and I'd made sure I used photos on my profile that showed my size. But…

No Julie Cook, 46, writer I felt emotional at the end of the last school holidays. My two children, aged 15 and ten, were sitting on the sofa with me and their dad and we'd just finished a movie. “I wish we didn't have to go back to school,” the kids groaned. And I felt a lump form in my throat. I wished it too. When my kids were younger, I couldn't wait for the me-time that school days brought. But now they're older, I relish time with them; conversations, giggles, their take on the world. I don't see that when they're at school or rushing in to do their homework. And we don't get these years back. School holidays aren't just a time for going away or splashing cash.…

Can we let you in on a secret? You don't have to change your body just because we're entering a new year. We know, it's hard to believe, isn't it? After all, we've had a lifetime of being taught the exact opposite. But what if we approached things differently in 2024? Instead of another January and another set of unachievable New Year's resolutions, could this be the year that we learn to accept our bodies and teach our children to embrace theirs, regardless of their shape or size? Author, campaigner, and social enterprise founder of Body Happy, Molly Forbes says, “As we start the new year, there's a huge amount of power in accepting that we're OK just as we are, which is a kinder, more compassionate way of living…
