After the struggling Today show and its new team debuted to its worst ratings in 10 years last week, it seems the panel’s bright morning smiles were masking yet more drama.  Only being offered the job at the last minute, Karl Stefanovic’s replacement, Deborah Knight, is said to be feeling less than welcome and is now having second thoughts about taking on the coveted role. “There is too much pressure to save the show, too much pressure to win back viewers,” an industry insider tells New Idea. “We don’t think Deb knew exactly what she was walking into.” Concerns for Deb come after it was revealed the 46-year-old was the third choice for the Today gig after a number of other TV…

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall has lost a battle to thwart her neighbour’s plans to build a granny flat for his elderly mother. Her neighbour Phil Clayton applied to demolish an outbuilding and construct a granny flat just 60m from Camilla’s Grade II-listed Ray Mill House in Reybridge. Camilla bought the Wiltshire property back in 1996 and kept it to use as a country retreat after her marriage to Charles in 2005. Despite having several stately homes at her disposal, it seems the duchess wasn’t too pleased with her neighbour’s plans. In fact, Camilla reportedly sent three objections to Wiltshire Council via letters written on HRH-headed notepaper from Charles’ Highgrove estate. “It’s very unfair,” a local told Daily Mail . “All he wanted to do was build a…

It’s back to work for the busy TV and radio presenter after his family-focused summer holiday, but Grant Denyer has revealed the true cost of his relaunched career in a lengthy and emotional Instagram post. The 2DayFM host admitted that while he was “super pumped and excited” for the year ahead – which includes hosting Ten’s revamped Dancing with the Stars – he was a “bit emotional leaving the family behind after 4 magical weeks laughing, playing together & having the absolute BEST time !!” He paid tribute to his daughters, Sailor, 7, and Scout, 3, saying how “very lucky” he was to have them and promised to work hard on making their moments together special. Days later, Grant took to the airwaves to open up…

According to online betting site Ladbrokes, the odds are at 8/13 on a 2019 pregnancy for the princess. Alex Apati of Ladbrokes says: “It’s looking increasingly likely Eugenie will be the next royal to give birth after Meghan.” We can’t wait!…

For the first time in a long time, friends and family of Dr Chris Brown were convinced TV presenter Liv Phyland was the one who had stolen the hunky vet’s heart once and for all. From the outside looking in, they were the picture-perfect couple. Not only did they share a love of the outdoors and surfing, but those who spent time with the pair – who began dating late last year – say Chris was completely smitten by the bubbly blonde beauty. So much so that they’d even discussed plans to elope in South Africa once Chris wrapped up his hosting duties on Channel Ten’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! next month. But it seems the fairytale romance has come to an end for the unlucky-in-love…

WARTS Warts are thickened areas of skin caused by the human papilloma virus, says Dr Aifric Boylan, CEO of online doctor service Qoctor. “You catch the virus by touching the skin of somebody who has warts or something they’ve touched,” she explains. “Wart removal products are available from your pharmacy, or your GP can freeze them with liquid nitrogen,” says Dr Boylan. “Bear in mind that one or two warts may not be very troublesome to begin with, but if you don’t try to get rid of them, the virus may spread and you may get more, so early treatment is usually advised.” CHAFING Chafing is caused by the combination of sweat and friction, from clothing or from skin-to-skin contact, especially on the inner thighs and under the breasts. “It…

Q I’m wondering if my family are all going to be okay. I am single, in my 50s and divorced after 26 years. I have found a new partner and have been with him for two years, but this year I am having trouble with my kids accepting him, especially my son. Will my son ever accept him? Upset mum, via email. A Upset mum, children have a hard time seeing their parents with other people – that’s natural. All you can do is give them time to get over their parents’ divorce. Once they start building their own lives they’ll care less about what you do. Let your son know that he’ll always come first before any man in your life. He needs to know that he can’t be…

When Season 1 of this confronting comedy wrapped, single mum Bridgette (show creator Frankie Shaw) decided to confront her long-gone father after matching with him on Tinder. In the new season, she continues her mission to find her dad, and deals with awkward situations along the way. But the drama of SMILF is not just on screen, with The Hollywood Reporter disclosing Aussie star Samara Weaving (she plays Bridgette’s ex’s new girlfriend) has left the series because of a breach of contract, after being pressured to do nude scenes even though she had a no-nudity clause in her contract and for another incident. In a statement, Frankie said, “I work daily to create an environment in which everyone should feel safe ……

Amid rumours that she is expecting her fifth child, Princess Mary has another matter on her plate. According to Danish publication Se & Hor , some parents have reported incidents of bullying at Tranegard School, which the royal children currently attend. The royal house is yet to comment on this claim, but the Tasmanian-born mother of three is well-rehearsed on the subject of bullying and the wellbeing of children through her work in the Mary Foundation. In 2007 she threw her support behind Australian program Better Buddies to help eradicate bullying in Danish schools and kindergartens. “In Denmark, the way we view bullying is changing,” she said of the foundation’s progress. “Today the focus is more and more on the group and each child within the group,…

Despite reportedly reaching a custody agreement with Angelina Jolie that gives him joint access, Brad Pitt hasn’t been seen in public with any of his kids for more than two and a half years. “ANGELINA DIDN’T EVEN LET HIM ATTEND ZAHARA’S RECENT BIRTHDAY PARTY – IT’S CRUEL” Now an insider close to the actor tells New Idea that Brad is still some way off getting equal time with Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 10. Until then, it’s thought their visits are restricted to taking place on private property. “It’s just breaking his heart that he hasn’t been out in public with all his kids for nearly 1000 days,” says a source. “When his lawyer sat down and added up the days, he…

She’s just weeks away from giving birth, but what should be one of the most joyous times in the Duchess of Sussex’s life has been marred by rumours of in-fights with sister-in-law Kate, and Meghan’s staff dropping like flies. Last week it was revealed that Meghan’s personal bodyguard has quit – just six months after taking up her post working for the duchess. And now New Idea can reveal the shocking truth about what’s really happening behind palace doors. In an exclusive interview, Princess Diana’s former bodyguard says the Duchess of Sussex’s police officer – who was pictured leaping into action when Meghan abruptly left a market in Fiji during the royal tour of Australia and the Pacific last October – is probably resigning because she was put in an…

Though Chris has only just split from Liv, it seems there could be someone waiting in the wings. According to a source, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Justine Schofield previously admitted that she found the vet attractive. And there’s no  doubt the former MasterChef contestant – who split from her long-term boyfriend, TV presenter Matt Doran in 2017 – is just his type. In fact, Justine’s a dead ringer for Liv – and Chris’ former flame, actress Kassandra Clementi.…

It must have been a terrifying escape for 13-year-old Jayme Closs. Shoving totes, laundry bins, weights and barbells out of the way, Jayme is reported to have squeezed herself out of the makeshift prison under her captor’s bed. He said he’d be gone for five to six hours, but the thought that he could be back at any moment was surely racing through her mind. And having seen him shoot and kill her parents just three months before, she was very aware of what he was capable of. Sticking her feet into a pair of his shoes she made for the door and, once out on the isolated road in rural Wisconsin, Jayme stopped the first person she saw. “I’m lost and I don’t know where I am, and I…

Q Can you tell me how to wash a dog and not get water in their ears? E.WHITE, MOUNT WARREN PARK, QLD. A Getting water in dogs’ ears can be a real problem and turn into a nasty infection, so it is important you keep ears dry when washing your pet. I usually only wash the head with a damp sponge, avoiding the ear openings. If you have an active dog and can’t avoid pouring water on the head, cotton wool in the ears works well as a barrier. If you do get water in the ears, ear cleaners such as Epi-Otic can be used to dry the ear canals.…

Dear Andrea, Your hands have an overall earth quality, this usually leads to dealing with the practicality of life, in a well-balanced way. However, two key lines on your hands tend  to temper this. The reason for this is that on both hands, the head and heart line have merged. The left hand demonstrates a late but small fork of the head line, while the right hand continues in one solid union, forming what is known a simian line. This can create a struggle for the few people who possess them, as it often manifests as a tug-of-war between head and heart. You may find you have deep secret desires to follow certain pursuits, but your head will win out with a more practical approach. On the few occasions that…

POTATO TIME I told Master 5 we were going on a family outing early the next day so we needed to get up at eight o’clock. “What’s a potato clock?” he asked. DAVID NICHOLSON, YANCHEP, WA. BARMY PARMY Out for dinner, my granddaughter, 4, kept looking at a stranger sitting at the next table, and he started to get uncomfortable. I said, “Why do you keep looking at that man? You know it’s rude to stare!” “It’s just that he told the waitress that he wanted chicken in pyjamas!” she said loudly as the man in question choked on his drink. “I was trying to see the chickens. But all she brought him was meat and vegies. I’m looking to see what he gets for dessert!” At this point the…

Q My friend recently got a kitten and while she looks after it with food and shelter she’s refusing to get it desexed. How do I convince her that it’s the right thing to do? MEG, MACQUARIE FIELDS, NSW. A My blood boils when I hear about irresponsible animal owners. Of course she should get the animal desexed otherwise she’ll end up having unwanted kittens plus she will have all the local cats hanging around. If it’s a boy kitten he should be desexed – they stay at home more and again, if he is not desexed he could become a smelly, wandering Tom trying to impregnate all the girl cats. Q I’ve recently started a new job and none of the other staff seem to take a lunch hour.…

The Oct. 19, 1987 stock market crash was the worst in the history of Wall Street. Now, Girls’ Andrew Rannells stars with Regina Hall (Girls Trip) and Don Cheadle (House of Lies) in a high-energy 10-part comedy that imagines how the big dive could have happened. Black Monday is a hectic but loving tribute to the 1980s era of excess – when mobile phones were as big as bricks and flashing cash and taking drugs were the done thing in the stockbroker set. Don, who is also an executive producer on the show, tells Newsweek: “I hope people want to watch us, because it’s not like anything I’ve ever seen on TV.” NOW ON STAN, NEW EPISODES MONDAYS…

As a former fast bowler, Damien Fleming certainly knows a thing or two about cricket. And, as it turns out, the Channel Seven cricket commentator is also a big fan of hard rock music. He’ll be pumped up as he watches Australia take on Sri Lanka in the First Test, live from Brisbane. As an Australian commentator, is it hard to remain unbiased watching the Aussies play? It can be. As much as I was disappointed with what happened with our batting (during the recent Test series against India), it was also a tick for how well India bowled. That’s as good a pace bowling attack as India has ever brought out here. Who is the greatest bowler you’ve ever seen? The reason I played cricket was because I idolised…

ARE LIZ & JUSTIN DATING? Rumours are rampant that Justin Theroux is dating Elizabeth Hurley. The former husband of Jennifer Aniston was seen getting cosy with Liz on several occasions at a Formula E racing event in Morocco last week. The couple posed for photos together on separate days and appeared relaxed and happy in each other’s company. Last year Liz hinted she might be dating someone but remained non-committal: “I’m not saying anything because it wouldn’t be fair. I’ve made a vow, unless I’m engaged to somebody, I don’t talk about anybody.” Liz’s outing with Justin comes just months after she sparked romance rumours with Italian tycoon Niccolo Barattieri di San Pietro, after the pair were spotted together. And, Justin is no stranger to speculation himself, having been linked…

Last week Jackie O Henderson hit the headlines for a mystery head wound that appeared after a boozy night out with her best friend, Sophie Monk, while enjoying a girls’ holiday. The previous day, Jackie was seen quaffing Champagne and eating oysters with Sophie before she was pictured leaving their hotel room with the gash on her head. Jackie later took to Instagram to explain the wound, with an arrow pointing to it and the words “skin cancer”. She then wrote: “Don’t let our kids make the same mistakes. Slip, slap, slop.” Her management also spoke to New Idea about the issue. “The mark on her forehead ... is a skin irritation from a cream used to remove a skin cancer, which Jackie spoke about on KIIS last year.”…

Since the exciting news was announced last October that she is expecting her first child with Prince Harry, royal fans have been whipped into a frenzy over every aspect of Meghan’s pregnancy – from the gender to the name, to the exact date of the baby’s arrival. However, the latest question on everyone’s lips is whether the Duchess of Sussex is secretly expecting a multiple pregnancy. Rumours are rife in the UK that 37-year-old Meghan is expecting not one, not two, but three babies. During her first royal engagement of 2019, a trip to Merseyside, in England with husband Prince Harry, the former actress, wearing a purple shift dress and contrasting red coat, revealed to excited fans that she is having an April baby. Royal observers were quick to notice…

It seems poisoning is becoming an alarming theme among the royal family. As well as the terrifying plot to harm Kate and her kids, it was revealed that Princess Beatrice had her own horrific brush with a nasty attacker. The 30-year-old princess’ beloved dog, Orange, has died after being poisoned with a mystery substance. A report from The Sun states the adorable Norfolk Terrier returned unwell from a walk in Windsor Great Park and was deemed too ill to recover, resulting in Beatrice making the heartbreaking decision to have him put down.…

After her husband’s public humiliation last week, Bec Hewitt is furious about the way Lleyton has been treated and is urging him to give up tennis for good. When controversial tennis star Bernard Tomic blasted the Davis Cup captain, saying “no-one likes him anymore” and telling him to “go away”, sources tell New Idea Bec insisted Lleyton hang up the towel once and for all. “Bec is pretty annoyed about the fact that Lleyton has been targeted,” the source says. “She wanted him to quit years ago and settle down, enjoy life away from the tennis court. He promised he would and when he retired from the circuit she really thought that would be it.” But it wasn’t the case. “Lleyton keeps coming out of retirement – playing in this…
