Loose Women host Charlene White has shared the devastating news that her dad has taken his own life after going through a ‘dark cloud he couldn’t lift’. In a vulnerable social media post, the 45-year-old shared that she decided to be open about the recent loss as ‘hiding emotions and the true depth of our feelings helps no one’. Charlene encouraged her followers to, ‘hug your parents close, and always tell them that you love them. Because that’s sort of our job as children, to love them, no matter where the road eventually takes them. Even if they end up taking the hardest, most unfathomable path.’…

Hopelessly devoted Following her trip to the Celebrity Traitors castle, Kate Garraway, 58, channelled her inner Sandy from Grease. The presenter completely embraced the ’50s look, sporting Lycra leggings, a leather bike jacket and bright red heels. Icon lost Actress Goldie Hawn paid a touching tribute to the late Diane Keaton, who passed away aged 79. Reflecting on their 30-year long friendship Goldie wrote to her First Wives Club co-star, ‘Shine your fairy dust up there, girlfriend.’ Sporting giants After attending the 2025 NBA China Games, a photo of David Beckham, 50, standing alongside basketball legends, Shaquille O’Neal and Yao Ming has gone viral! A 5ft 11 Beckham looked comically small while sandwiched between the two 7ft-tall players.…

Peeking round the door of my little boy’s room, I called, ‘Time for bed, you two!’ As usual, Isaac, three, and his sister, Sienna, seven, were snuggled up together watching a movie, which melted my heart. Isaac was desperate to be just like his big sister, while I called Sienna ‘mother hen’, because she always looked out for him. They were thick as thieves. It was December 2020, and we’d had a rough few years, but finally life was back on track. Their dad and I had split after Isaac was born, and recently, we’d moved in with my new partner, Dan. We lived in a lovely modern three-storey townhouse in St Neots, Cambridgeshire. Sienna’s room was at the top of the house, opposite Dan and me, while Isaac was…

I've told her to leave her boyfriend Q My daughter is 19 and has always been difficult. She would bunk off school, sneak out of the house when we grounded her, steal her phone back when we’d taken it away. She had an awful boyfriend when she was 16. He was controlling, stopped her seeing her friends, made her do drugs and had no respect for me or my husband. Luckily, they broke up after a year. For about a year she’s been going out with a new guy. He’s polite, kind and caring to our daughter, and has become part of the family. My husband has even taken him to football a couple of times! But, last week, we found out that she’s lied to us about his age this…

On her recent successful Netflix documentary, Victoria Beckham says her beauty business helped turn the fortune of her fashion empire around – and now it seems her daughter, Harper, is following in her footsteps. It has been reported that the business name HIKU BY Harper has been trademarked as a ‘skincare and beauty brand’, marking 14-year-old Harper’s potential entry into entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, after the triumph of David and Victoria’s individual Netflix documentaries, it is believed the streamer has asked the former Spice Girl to helm a series on the group’s success.…

For Sarah, Duchess of York, the fight has become deeply personal. After months of renewed scrutiny over her past – and with yet another royal scandal looming – her focus has narrowed to one goal: shielding Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie from the storm she knows is coming. And as the Palace now has to face the release of Nobody’s Girl, the posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre – who alleged Andrew had sex with her when she was 17 years old, something he has always strongly denied – Sarah is steeling herself for a renewed wave of headlines and judgement. But now, with rumours the King has asked that she and Andrew be kept ‘invisible’ at royal gatherings, our source warns the duchess certainly won’t lie down regarding Beatrice and…

After achieving her goal of slimming down and feeling healthier, Alison Hammond would rather that less attention is paid to her weight loss. The This Morning presenter, 50, has lost an incredible 13.5st over the past five years, after being diagnosed as pre-diabetic in 2020. ‘Weight is on everybody’s mind, everyone’s obsessed by it,’ she tells Bella. ‘It’s quite interesting how me doing normal things like walking down the street or getting my photo taken on a red carpet is now highlighted as me “showing off my figure”. I do feel it is troubling because I’m exactly the same person – bigger or smaller. There’s no difference to Alison at any size. Obviously, it’s healthier to be smaller.’ Alison’s weight-loss comes after she lost her mum Maria, who had Type…

Model Kelly Brook is reportedly set to head to the I’m a Celebrity… jungle next month to take part in the show’s 25th series, despite previously ruling it out. ‘I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles’, Kelly, 45, declared back in 2018. ‘Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it,’ she continued. Other rumoured cast members include former EastEnders star, Shona McGarty, 34, broadcaster Nick Ferrari, 66, and Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, 49.…

We’re used to seeing Motsi Mabuse sparkling from behind the judges’ desk on Strictly Come Dancing. And the 44-year-old is planning on applying her usual feistiness to her next challenge -the menopause. Speaking to Bella at the UK launch of Elizabeta Zefi haircare at London’s John Bell & Croyden, Motsi opened up about going through perimenopause and what she’s doing to prepare her body for the change. ‘When I switch on social media, everybody is talking about menopause and perimenopause. I am going into that, and it seems like I’m facing hell. I’m going directly into it now and I thought, “Before I arrive, let me arrive in my best form”,’ she says. ‘I only hear fear, I don’t hear anything else. I guess there’s an awareness [that] our algorithm…

The alkaline diet, which waned in popularity years ago due to its vague detox claims, is back with a bang with exciting new science-backed research. This proves it’s a great way to de-stress the body and burn fat while preserving muscle (essential for keeping the metabolism healthy) and is particularly helpful for those aged 40 and above, when muscle loss can be an issue. Celebrities said to enjoy the many benefits of alkaline eating include Gwyneth Paltrow, 53, Elle Macpherson, 61, Jennifer Aniston, 56, and Kirsten Dunst, 43. Here’s how to put this plan into action for amazing results. Beat the acid, lose the weight ‘The low-grade metabolic acidosis caused by acidic foods such as meat, dairy, and refined grains, triggers the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that has…

Smiling, I watched as my son Frank devoured his hot dog. He scooped up the onion from the sides and stuffed it into his mouth. As I bit into mine, he flashed me a cheeky grin and asked, ‘Is it vegan, Mum?’ It was a standing joke between us because I’d once been vegan, and now my mischievous 11-year-old boy never missed a chance to teasingly remind me. A few days later, when I called him in for dinner, I noticed he was walking with a slight limp. He told me he’d fallen over during PE. But when he continued to limp, I took him to the GP even though he insisted he wasn’t in any pain. The GP suggested he’d suffered a hamstring strain that would get better with…
