Gary Lineker and his ex-wife Danielle Bux have got people talking after being photographed on holiday together in Ibiza. The former couple, who divorced in 2016, looked “happy and relaxed” on their cosy sunshine getaway. “It was hard to think Gary and Danielle are not blissfully married. They looked so relaxed in each other's company,” one onlooker remarked. “They have rewritten the rulebook on how a divorced couple can get on. They clearly still get on well.” The footy pundit, 62, and model Danielle, 44, were joined by her daughters Ella, 21, and Romy, five. Gary has revealed that they remain great friends and speak daily, despite Danielle being married to US lawyer Nate Greenwald. “Danielle and I are best mates. We still speak three times a day, we text…

News of Prince William's plan to rent out his father's much-loved Welsh holiday home has caused fresh tension between the two royal families. The Prince of Wales is putting his foot down when it comes to King Charles’ cottage in Llwynywermod, after inheriting it as part of the Duchy of Cornwall private estates last year. Charles, 74, is said to be “seething” and “disappointed” over his eldest son's proposals. The monarch, who normally spends time at his Welsh cottage every summer, will now have to pay to stay as a guest in the £1.2million property on the borders of the Brecon Beacons National Park, which he bought in 2007 and lovingly restored. He reportedly also has to move his belongings out by September, when the property will be listed for…

No Rachel Tompkins, 43, writer ‘I'm grateful for the hours of laughter’ Parenting is far from boring. As a mother-of-two I consider myself extremely fortunate, and grateful for the hours of fun and laughter. How could creating cars out of LEGO, making dens under the kitchen table, reading stories of polar bears on deserted islands, and witnessing the huge range of emotions that my two little human beings experience in a day ever be boring? In fact, I'd say that it's the most interesting, compelling and challenging work of all time. Imagine a job where you got to create neon slime one minute, to dig for buried treasure the next, then snuggle up on the sofa singing along to The Greatest Showman. My boys are 10 and seven now so…

Is there something wrong with me? QI often hear about how much people miss their parents. But I don't. My mother died of cancer when she was in her early 40s. All I felt after she passed away was relief. My father had a stroke at 86 and I had to give up my job to look after him. When he passed away, all I felt was sheer relief. But when my partner (the love of my life) walked out on me after 16 years, I was heartbroken. And 19 years later, I still miss him terribly. I remember the day and the date it happened, but I can't remember the dates of my parents’ deaths. When I told my sister-in-law this, she said I need to see someone to…

£50 Star letter Lovely Kate and Wills It gave me a warm feeling reading about Princess Kate and Prince William in issue 29 of Bella. To hear that “they look so in love” is so heartwarming and reassuring at the same time. For our nation, having a happy future king and queen who care deeply for each other is a very positive thing, I think! Alison Payne, Rugby Thoughts for Fiona It was saddening to read about Fiona Phillips who revealed she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at just 61 (issue 28). I recall her previously talking about both her parents suffering from the cruel disease. I admire her attitude of carrying on now and I hope the clinical trial she is taking part in proves successful. My thoughts go out…

The This Morning presenter, 38, is said to be heading to the Australian jungle for a massive six-figure deal. “Josie is hugely popular with This Morning viewers and producers were determined to get her,” an insider said. “She is seen as the perfect person for the jungle as she's already such a familiar face on ITV and will bring her fanbase with her. They were hellbent on getting her. And if she was lured by the glitter of Strictly, they weren't going to let her go without a fight.”…

The former Gogglebox star, 32, and Scott Dobinson's child arrived in June, at 35 weeks – earlier than the expected due date in July. “My darling boy, I can't stop crying looking at you as I can't quite believe you're mine,” she said. “Our heart and souls feel complete and ready to burst.” Scarlett described him as, “Our little miracle baby.

Staring out of the window at the night sky, I tried my best to hold back the tears. To the left of me was my partner Chris – I desperately wanted to turn over and tell him how much I loved him. But every time I opened my mouth, a lump appeared in my throat and there was no way I'd let him see me break down, not when he was being so strong. Suddenly, I felt Chris’ hand take hold of mine. I closed my eyes tightly and forced myself to memorise the way my hands felt in his. Because I knew that in just a few short weeks, I'd be lying in that bed alone and memories were all I'd be left with. “Don't you worry about a…
