INVITING US INTO HER NEW GLASGOW TOWNHOUSE ‘Since the split, I’ve become a much stronger person. I’m focusing on my children, my business, myself and new beginnings. For the first time, I know who I am’ ‘It was the first house I looked at. The moment I set foot inside, I fell in love with it’ It’s not been an easy year for Michelle Mone. In January, the mother of three divorced Michael, her husband of 20 years, buying him out of the underwear business they’d started in the spare bedroom in 1996. Yet despite the trials and tribulations, the Ultimo boss is looking slimmer, fitter and, above all, happier than ever as she invites hello! into the new family home she’s created for herself. “I’m so over my ex,”…

Simon Cowell has revealed that he will be in the delivery room when his first child is born. The X Factor mogul exclusively told hello! magazine that he plans to be in the same room when his girlfriend Lauren Silverman gives birth to their son in a New York hospital in February. “I will be in the delivery room, but I’ll just try not to look too far down,” he said, speaking at the launch of the new Jaguar F-type Coupe in Los Angeles last week. Asked whether he will be cutting the cord himself, he replied: “Are you mad? I’m not good with all that blood and guts stuff.” Simon’s admission came just hours after he and Lauren, 37, flew in from Miami, where they had dined with her…

It was full steam ahead for Kelly Brook, who was sexy, single and ready to mingle at the launch of her new restaurant and bar in London last week. Wearing a Jacques Azagury gown (left), the model-turned-restaurateur was smoking hot as she hosted a VIP party at her Steam & Rye eatery with celebrity pals including James Middleton (below), Myleene Klass (right) and Millie Mackintosh (below right). Kelly, who turned 34 last week, also set fire to the latest rumours surrounding her love life, which has linked her to actor Jeremy Piven and TV presenter Gethin Jones. “I’m single,” insisted the star, who split from rugby union hunk Danny Cipriani in August. “I don’t have a boyfriend. I’m not unlucky in love – I’m very lucky in love. When I’m…

Well versed in the art of throwing a good bash, the Queen hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace last week in recognition of contemporary British poetry. Joined by the Duke of Edinburgh (below) and the Princess Royal, the Queen greeted 300 poets, including four poet laureates, from around the UK and the Commonwealth. The evening included several readings, one of them an excerpt from Alternative Anthem by John Agard, winner of the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry 2012. “I could tell that the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh loved it,” said current poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy. “They were really engaged and laughing and listening very intently.” The pair also chatted to their guests, among them war poet Dennis Wilson. The 92-year-old survivor of the D-Day landings could not…

Accompanied by a very precious cargo, singer Michael Bublé and wife Luisana Lopilato touched down in Canada following a visit to the Victoria’s Secret model’s native Argentina. Smiling broadly, the couple made their way through Vancouver Airport with Michael, 38, proudly and expertly taking charge of their own arrival, three-month old son Noah, en route to their home in the city. The fleeting break came in the middle of Michael’s hectic tour schedule. For Luisana, 26, recent weeks have also been as much about work as pleasure and during her time in Argentina, she was rehearsing for new film Las Insoladas, shooting on which begins next month. The future is shaping up nicely for the model and actress, who has been working as hard off set as on to tone…

Barely six months after giving birth to her second child, Coleen Rooney is hoping to add to her team’s line-up, she revealed to hello!. “I’d probably like another one – not too soon though,” says the mum of four-year-old Kai and baby Klay (together above, in a photo shared on Facebook by Coleen). “I think a girl would complete the family but because the boys get on so well, another boy would be just as nice. “But at the moment life’s good. It’s busy but I’m enjoying it.” The 27-year-old fashion designer is known for scoring high in the style stakes, something she acknowledges is more difficult now she has two young children. “When you become a mum the first time round it makes you realise you don’t get much…

It’s still in its infancy but the annual Necker Cup tennis tournament attracts some of the game’s biggest names. But then, who could resist spending a few magical days on Sir Richard Branson’s paradise island in the British Virgin Islands, raising money for charity and enjoying what they do best? Among those who accepted the invitation for the tournament’s second year were Rafael Nadal, Marion Bartoli, Ana Ivanovic, Martina Navratilova and Boris Becker, who was the master of ceremonies. “We’re lucky. Necker is one of the most beautiful spots on earth and people love to come,” says Sir Richard. “And the clever thing is that the tournament comes at the end of the tennis season so it’s a time when these players just want to relax and have some fun.…

‘I’ve got a watch, but watches are more like fashion, ain’t they? My watch ain’t got numbers on it’ I’m a Celebrity… star Joey Essex (left) has been faring well in Bushtucker trials but may struggle with time trials ‘There goes the most embarrassing moment of my life!’ One Direction star Niall Horan was left red-faced after he asked to be excused for a toilet break during a TV interview ‘If you go on Twitter and tell everybody what you are doing moment to moment and then claim you want a private life, no one is going to take that request seriously’ Tweet reason from Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe ‘I don’t know about the illuminations… but I just experienced the Blackpool elimination’ Fiona Fullerton was Strictly disappointed at being…

The women in our family just tend to have children young. It runs in our genes’ Some mothers would feel surprised, or perhaps even worried, if their daughter became pregnant not long out of her teens, but not Jade Jagger. The jewellery designer was herself just 20 when she had daughter Assisi Jackson. Now 21, Assisi is due to have her first child at the end of April. “I think it’s quite sweet to feel that your family is following the same path that you did,” says Jade, who understands the challenges and advantages of having a child young. This hello! photoshoot is taking place in an idyllic corner of the Cornish countryside, where Assisi lives with her boyfriend of three years, chef Alex Key, 25. The couple share a…

Blissed out on parenthood and over the moon to be expecting their second child, Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky only have eyes for their adorable eldest, 18-month-old India Rose, as she hangs out in her daddy’s arms on a beach in the tiny Canarian island of La Gomera. The Thor hunk’s two leading ladies were keeping him company on location while he filmed scenes from his next movie, In the Heart of the Sea, directed by Ron Howard. And while pregnant Elsa carried the baby gear, dressed in a boho jersey that kept any hint of a bump well covered, Chris played the role of protective dad. “She’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he said recently of his daughter.…

‘There’s no question that Kate looks fantastic and is as slim as she was before she had Prince George. The focus is always on how to lose weight after a pregnancy, but you need to focus on your body before you get pregnant, too. Kate has a strong, athletic physique. She no doubt looks after her diet, so it’s likely she wouldn’t have put on excessive weight while pregnant. So the only weight she had to lose after birth was the weight of her baby, fluids and any fat that had been stored in preparation for breastfeeding, and I imagine Kate is breastfeeding. Because she’s always done lots of exercise, her body will probably be quite responsive to activities such as walking, Pilates and weights. Pilates is really good for…

Glowing with the look of love, Pippa Middleton made a show-stopping entrance as she arrived at the Sugarplum Ball at London’s One Mayfair hand in hand with her dashing boyfriend Nico Jackson. With her hair up and her famous slim frame swathed in a black gown with embroidered lace detail, a nude lining and see-through skirt, she had eyes only for her stockbroker beau who, throughout the evening, protectively placed a guiding arm around her waist. Mingling with the cream of society – including Sugarplum ambassador Poppy Delevingne, Tamara Beckwith and Julian Fellowes – the pair sipped champagne and feasted on peppered beef carpaccio and a Sugarplum trio of desserts, while an auction to raise vital funds for research into type 1 diabetes in children took place. It was organised…

Recording a song with ecording X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger was a joy for Il Divo. “She’s beautiful and looks even better in real life than she does on TV,” says Spanish baritone Carlos Marín, 45, the quartet’s only singleton. “She’s also a very nice, easy- easygoing girl and she’s got a great voice.” Carlos, along with Frenchman Sébastien Izambard, 40, American David Miller, 40, and Swiss-born Urs Bühler, 42, joined Nicole in the studio to record a track for A Musical Affair Affair, a , collection of show tunes that also includes collaborations with Michael Ball and Kristen Chenoweth, plus a live number with Barbra Streisand (below, with the boys) recorded when they toured with the US legend in 2006. The boys have nothing but praise for Barbra, whose…

Dame Helen Mirren was the undisputed Queen of last week’s Evening Standard Theatre Awards as she was named Best Actress for her portrayal of the monarch in The Audience. The 68-year-old had already won an Oscar and a Bafta for her acclaimed turn as Her Majesty on the big screen in 2007. But in typical down-to-earth style, she insisted people were “loving the Queen, not me”. Dazzling in a Bruce Oldfield pink and black silk dress with bow embellishment and pink diamonds, she said before the London ceremony: “I did feel that the response to the play was as much a response to that person, that extraordinary woman, as it was to my performance.” Hugh Grant, Kevin Spacey and Billie Piper and Laurence Fox attended the star-studded event at The…

‘I was one of those girls who wanted to be a princess’ She may be an engineering student at Oxford University with a job already lined up at a prestigious firm in the City of London, but Leonora Gilmour is determined to make her society debut in the old-fashioned way. She will be among a select group of young women from around the world, including the Duke of Kent’s granddaughter Lady Amelia Windsor and Kyra Kennedy, the daughter of Robert Kennedy Jr, to be presented to society at le Bal, the annual debutante ball in Paris, on 30 November. The eldest child of former London restaurateur the Hon. Christopher Gilmour, who is a cousin of the Dukes of Northumberland and Buccleuch, and his wife Mardi, 20-year-old Leonora has been preparing…

No. 1 Mayfair in London was the venue for The British Heart Foundation’s Tunnel Of Love art and fashion dinner. The event, sponsored by jewellery designer Thomas Sabo, attracted a glamorous crowd, including Hugh Grant and Yasmin and Amber Le Bon, who drank champagne and cocktails before enjoying a four-course dinner. They were also treated to a live set from Eliza Doolittle before taking part in an auction, with lots featuring art from Sir Peter Blake and the chance to feature in Anthony Horowitz’s new Sherlock Holmes novel. Guests raised £250,000 on the night.…

Relying on their fragrance rather than any visual means to attract pollinators, white flowers are generally more powerfully scented than their colourful cousins. For perfumers, jasmine, orange blossom, magnolia, tuberose and gardenia are the white flowers of choice as they contain a chemical called indole, an animalic, almost tar-like note that smells unpleasant in its purest form yet adds a sexy, almost narcotic effect to certain flowers. The resulting perfumes are heady, sensual and intoxicating – perfect for winter evenings. Floris Night Scented Jasmine, £75; visit florislondon.com Creed Fleurs de Gardenia, £95, from Liberty Le Labo 24 Patchouli, £105, from Liberty Tom Ford Fleur de Chine, £140, an ode to magnolia Estée Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia, £59 Acqua di Parma Magnolia Nobile, £85…

She never looks less than “schamazing” and Nicole Scherzinger was picture perfect at the Pride of Britain Awards last month in a black velvet Amanda Wakeley dress teamed with gorgeous cat’s-eye make-up. “Nicole’s gown made me want to create a very simple but beautiful look,” says her make-up artist Caroline Barnes. Flawless face “I started with an SKII Treatment Mask, £60 for six, and a facial massage,” Caroline says. “I then prepped Nicole’s skin using Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer SPF15, £20 (6) from Space NK, which is great for ensuring make-up lasts all night long. Next, I perfected her gorgeous complexion with some Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, £34.50 (1), which has a beautiful demi-matt finish. The hydrating formula is really lightweight and very easy to work with. To conceal…

For more than 40 years we have been told to steer clear of fatty meats and dairy products in order to reduce our cholesterol count, prevent weight gain and reduce the risk of heart disease. But an increasing number of heart experts are now arguing that it is our heavy consumption of processed carbohydrates and sugar – not butter and cheese – that is making us fatter and poses the biggest risk to the nation’s health. A recent online discussion on the British Medical Journal’s website, bmj.com, challenged the long-held tenet of modern “healthy” eating plans by suggesting that saturated fat might not be so bad after all. The experts who took part argued that the landmark 1970s study which originally identified a link between heart disease, blood cholesterol and…

With her character Carla’s road to true love taking another dramatic turn this week, you can hardly blame Coronation Street star Alison King for loving home time with her daughter Daisy Mae. “It’s sometimes hard when she trundles into my room at 3am and I have to go to work with huge bags under my eyes,” says Alison of the four-year-old, whose father is her former fiancé, Corrie sound technician Adam Huckett. “But mostly she’s a little angel and I love every second of being a mum.” Home is a welcome sanctuary for Alison, 40, given her punishing filming schedule and her latest big storyline, in which her plans to marry cheating heart Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) all but fall apart at the seams. The fictional nuptials took the cast…

Inspiration: Natalie Portman “The Sophisticate is a polished make-up look using earthy tones. Apply foundation and concealer, then a little powder on the T-zone to get rid of shine. Your face should look really luminous and glowing, so don’t use too much. Brush and fill in brows, and then use an eyecurler on lashes to help open up the eyes. Then apply a neutral shimmer shade all over the eye, up to the brow. Next take a medium brown shade and nestle it into your socket then go backwards and forwards in an arch. Dip eye smudger brush into a slightly deeper shade and go along upper lash line for subtle definition. Then go along the lower lashline, stopping three-quarters of the way in. Apply chocolate brown eye pencil along…

Inspiration: Kate Bosworth “This look is pretty, fresh and natural and suits absolutely everyone. It’s always effortlessly cool and on trend. Classically this is Mia Farrow, with fresh skin and a dusty pink flushed cheek. The modern take is worn so well by Kate Bosworth and Alexa Chung; both flawless and classically beautiful but in a cool way. “The key to this look is a dewy lightweight base, with a soft translucent finish and a peachy pink cheek created with blusher worn high on the apples of the cheeks and blended upwards and outwards towards the hairline. “Subtly define eyes with an understated champagne shadow over the entire lid, blended up into the creases of both eyes and then softly underneath both eyes and around the inner corners of each…

It doesn’t take long to detect that this straight-talking, cool and confident Eva Herzigova is no longer the neon blue eyeshadow-loving bombshell straight from the Czech Republic who burst onto the fashion scene in the early 1990s. She’s now what we might call Eva 2.0: a happily-married supermodel and mother-of-three who, as just one look at her high-cheekboned face proves, is as beautiful as ever. At 40 Eva, who strutted the Paris catwalk in October, is confidently striding into a new decade as the new face of Dior Capture Totale. How does she keep time on her side? Find out as she sits down with hello! to open both her heart and her make-up bag. As the face of Dior beauty, what does iconic Dior mean to you? “Dior is…

1 Prep hair with a volume cream or spray and blow-dry using a paddle brush. 2 Once dry, part the hair from ear-to-ear, creating two sections (bottom, on left). 3 Taking the top section, make a loose scalp braid from the hairline, stopping at the crown (bottom, centre). Create the braid by taking three 1cm pieces of hair and feeding a small part of the left hand section over to the right hand section. Repeat, taking a new piece from the scalp each time. 4 Once completed, take the bottom section and, leaning towards the floor, repeat the braid starting from the nape of the neck upwards until reaching the crown. Don’t worry if it’s messy – that will add to the finished look. 5 Twist the loose ends together…

Virtually nude and draped in jewels, Natalia Vodianova soaks luxuriously in a marbled bath. This lavish scene is simply a day in the life for the Russian-born supermodel while she films her latest advertisement for Shalimar fragrance. In the spectacular mini-movie, shot on location in India, she incarnates Mumtaz Mahal, the mesmerising beauty who inspired a prince to build the Taj Mahal and whose love story inspired Jacques Guerlain to create Shalimar in 1925. Natalia’s ethereal elegance makes her the perfect choice for a princess role, but the winding path that has brought her to this glamorous shoot in a faraway land hasn’t always been a fairytale. The 31-year-old model grew up in poverty in Gorky, now Nizhny Novgorod, with her single mum who struggled with multiple jobs to support…

STABILITY BALL PLANK •Place your palms against the top of your stability ball. • Extend your legs and balance on the balls of your feet so that your body makes a 45o angle to the floor. Stretch through the crown of your head and reach through the back of your heels. Hold for 15 seconds at first, but work your way up to a full minute. • The closer together your feet, the more challenging this exercise becomes. SPIDER-MAN PLANK • Start in push-up position with hands directly below shoulders. Pull left knee out to the side, hovering towards the left elbow, as shown. Return to start and repeat on opposite side. Do 15 reps per side. LEG SCISSORS • Lie flat on your back. Spread your legs in as…

These nut milks keep for up to two days in a refrigerator. Unsweetened almond milk can be found at your local health store, but nothing tastes quite as delicious as freshly made, completely raw and live nut milk made in your own blender. Makes 3–4 cups INGREDIENTS • 2 cups of raw almonds or raw hazelnuts, soaked overnight • 2½ cups of filtered water • stevia or dates to sweeten, according to taste Rinse the soaked nuts well with a strainer and place with the water into a blender and blend on high until smooth.

There is a beautiful mix of colours in this salad, which I truly believe makes the salad more satisfying and nourishing on so many different levels. Serves 4 INGREDIENTS • 3 cups of fresh mesclun or herb salad • 2 handfuls of chopped basil • 1 cup of sundried tomatoes • 1–2 ripe avocados, diced • 2 handfuls of clover sprouts • 5–8 radishes • Kalamata olives (optional) For the dressing • 3–5 tbsp dulse flakes • 3–5 tbsp nutritional yeast • cayenne pepper to taste • ½–2 tbsp salt-free Cajun spice mix to taste • juice of 1. lemons • olive oil Add the mesclun and chopped basil to a bowl.

Zara Phillips wasn’t going to let the fact that she is seven months pregnant spoil her day at Cheltenham races. The stylish royal, 32, looking blooming in a faux-fur-trimmed cape coat teamed with a camel sweater, jeans and heeled boots, frequently stroked her bump as she strolled round the racecourse. Later she watched her husband Mike Tindall’s mount Monbeg Dude, ridden by Zara’s ex-beau Richard Johnson, come in a respectable fourth in the Murphy Group Handicap Chase. One racegoer told hello!: “Zara was touching her bump throughout the day as if the baby was kicking.” STABLE FARE The Olympic silver medallist, who is due to give birth in January, continued to ride early into her pregnancy but in recent months has hung up her jodhpurs. “I have been riding but…

It’s not been easy to secure time with Strictly Come Dancing’s Susanna Reid for one very simple reason: at the moment she doesn’t have much of it. Most of us would be on our knees trying to match her routine of work and practice for the show, yet she looks more amazing than ever and is keeping the other contestants on their toes as one of the favourites. “It’s that thing about an object in motion stays in motion. If you keep moving and keep working and doing things it gives you more momentum,” says the 42-year-old. “If I stop at any moment it would be a mistake, so I’ve just got to keep moving – that’s how I fit it all in. I don’t know how, but it seems…

Despite swapping her usual glam gear for something a little more protective, super trouper Katherine Jenkins still looked da bomb as she entertained UK forces in Afghanistan. The singer spent three days at Camp Bastion, where she performed for hundreds of personnel and met many of those stationed at the base. “Returning to Afghanistan has been just as emotional and humbling as the first time,” said Katherine, who is patron of the British Forces Foundation and made her first trip in 2007. “It is an immense honour to be able to perform for the men and women of our armed forces and I will continue to do so for as long as they want me to.” Sharing pictures from her trip on Instagram following her return to the UK, Katherine,…

The Duke of Cambridge served up a right royal treat for residents of a homeless shelter in Sunderland last week, donning a pinny to lend a hand in the kitchen. In his role as patron of homeless charity Centrepoint, Prince William helped make chapatis at the Dundas Street centre. However, despite announcing that his food smelt good, he failed to wow Jennifer Sams, who had been homeless for two and a half years before turning to the centre for support. “He was very impressed with himself and compared his [chapatis] to the photo on the menu. I couldn’t see it myself,” she teased. It appeared not all the youngsters were quite sure who was visiting them, revealed Centrepoint’s Alison York: “A lot of the young people don’t know much about…

In fiancé Kanye West’s video for his latest single Bound 2, Kim Kardashian is seemingly naked as she rides a motorbike alongside the rapper. However, the reality TV star opted for something a bit warmer when the pair stepped out together in New York (right) before Kanye performed his second gig at the Big Apple’s Barclays Center. Kim had spent the week in the city with her man and their fivemonth-old daughter North, stealing some quality time together despite the demands of Kanye’s Yeezus tour. Naturally, Kanye’s favourite support act found time to take in his show and even posted an Instagram shot during the concert. Flaunting her engagement ring in the foreground, Kim captioned the pic: “He said put your diamond in the sky.” Also at the gig were…

It was a time of reflection at the second annual Amy Winehouse Foundation Gala Ball at the Dorchester hotel in London last week, when guests remembered the late singer and gave their support to the charity set up in her name to help disadvantaged young people. “It’s just great to have people here to raise awareness for the foundation – we have some incredibly wonderful supporters,” her father Mitch told hello!. “All her family and friends are here, so it’s just a reflection of how much everyone loved her.” Looking stunning in a long blue lace gown, Jerry Hall (below, second from right) revealed she wouldn’t have missed the event. “I always like to say yes to any charity to do with children because I’m a mother of four,” she…

RITA ORA Health scare for chart-topping star Pop star Rita Ora returned to Britain last week after being hospitalised for “heat exhaustion and dehydration” in Miami. The 22-year-old was modelling in a photoshoot for Madonna and daughter Lourdes’s fashion line Material Girl when she collapsed and was stretchered into an ambulance and rushed to hospital. She was discharged later in the day. “Just to say. I love you guys. I’m getting better,” she tweeted. “Thank you for all your support… I love you. Sorry to scare you. I got scared too.” • TV presenter Paul O’Grady said last week he was “feeling much better” after a suspected angina attack. The 58-year-old, who has had two heart attacks, was taken to hospital, forcing him to pull out of hosting his ITV1…

AMERICA AND BRITAIN PAY POIGNANT TRIBUTE TO JFK ON THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ASSASSINATION It was 12.30pm on 22 November 1963 when the shots rang out around Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, bringing a tragic end to the life of the beloved 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy. Fifty years later, Dallas was once again the focal point as the country remembered the fateful day that shook the world. Some 5,000 people attended a ceremony in Dealey Plaza that included a moment of silence coinciding with the time that Lee Harvey Oswald, holed up on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, fired his rifle. Two days earlier, President Obama and the First Lady had joined former president Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary…

‘She’s really found her groove being back in London. She seems more relaxed than she has been for a long time’ David and Victoria Beckham played Santa last week when they made their most public contribution to charity to date. In a bid to help the Red Cross raise funds for the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, Victoria went into the couple’s extensive wardrobes and came out with eight boxes worth of shoes, clothes and accessories. Their gift giving came as they finalised their plans for Christmas, which hello! can reveal will see David, 38, Victoria, 39, and their four children – Brooklyn, 14, Romeo, 11, Cruz, eight, and Harper, two – in their country mansion for the final time before they hand over the keys to its…

Sporting a see-through Dior couture gown, Jennifer Lawrence hots up the LA premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. But it seems that, along with her gown, her red-carpet confidence was rather flimsy. Asked during a US TV chat if the dress was a favourite, the starlet admitted: “No, I wouldn’t say that. I think any time a girl has to show her thighs, it’s never going to be her favourite look. I loved the dress – if somebody else wore it!”…

‘The Duchess is blessed with good genes. She is a sporty girl with natural core strength, but after having a baby, even she will have needed some expert advice on getting back into shape. I think a women’s health physiotherapist is likely to have been a part of her pre- and postnatal team, training her in pelvic floor exercises right up to the birth, teaching her how to draw and lift the pelvic muscles in to help with the birth and also recovery afterwards. It’s also likely that Kate is doing Pilates again – it is brilliant for building inner strength following a natural birth. You also don’t see the Duchess slouch – feeding a baby is bad for posture, so sitting in the correct position in a nursing chair…

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF ‘THIS MORNING’ It was a glitzy celebrity party with all the showbiz credentials – classy venue, glamorous guests and waiting paparazzi – but once inside This Morning’s 25th birthday celebrations, it was like being part of a great big family get-together. “It’s a real family affair, that’s what we are,” said Holly Willoughby, who hosts the hit ITV morning show with Phillip Schofield. “You feel guilty saying, ‘I’m going to work,’ when actually you’re going to hang out with one of your best friends.” Phillip, who has been with the show for ten years, added: “It has been lucky for me, that’s for sure. When I first started, I thought I’d do a couple of years and then another two... and every year has been brilliant,…

Rebecca Ferguson has a new home, a new love and is now thinking about a new addition to her family. After a few years living in Surrey, she has returned to her native Liverpool with her two children – Lillie May, nine, and seven-year-old Karl. Happily settled, the singer thinks the time may now be right to add to her brood, a first baby for her and her partner of one year – a mystery man she shies away from talking about in public. “I would like another baby. I’d like to be pregnant at 29, have the baby by 30, then release another album at 31,” says the 27-year-old. “Who knows what will happen, but in an ideal world that’s what I’d like.” Rebecca might just get her way.…

ON AN EMOTIONAL RETURN TO HEVER CASTLE WITH HUSBAND STEPHEN Gloria Hunniford has many reasons to feel attached to beautiful Hever Castle in Kent. Not only is it a 20-minute drive from her cherished home in Sevenoaks, it is the place where, 15 years ago, she married celebrity hairdresser Stephen Way. So it is fitting that the TV presenter has chosen Hever and its magnificent grounds for an exclusive photoshoot for hello! to talk about the chain of events which has culminated in the dazzling figure she cuts today. She’s 73 now but you wouldn’t believe it. “I’ve lost two stone,” she tells us, beaming. “I now weigh 8½st – something I haven’t been able to say since my twenties. I know I’m lighter in weight terms, but I’m lighter…

‘After Christmas lunch, Mama does the washing-up and us girls dry, all of us singing along to Sixties and Seventies songs’ Swinging a pair of ice skating boots over her shoulder, model Amber Le Bon tentatively strides onto the frozen rink at London’s Somerset House. With her catwalk confidence, no doubt inherited from her model mother Yasmin, the 24-year-old takes the icy mission – a hello! photoshoot for Coach presents Skate – in her stride with a smile, effortlessly gliding with grace and poise and happily giving us a twirl. “I love ice-skating,” Amber smiles, which could explain her lack of trepidation. Other models might moan about having their bare legs exposed to such icy temperatures, but not Amber, a true professional whose warm personality shines through at all times.…

Capture not just the flowers but also the earth, leaves, sap and stems, and suddenly a floral fragrance can become vibrantly green – more like a walk in a midsummer garden than a bouquet of flowers. They’re ideal if you find traditional florals too cloying for your taste and they’re also a safe bet to buy for others – as they replicate the aromas of an array of different flowers, they’re sure to please.

“When I was a little girl my mum and dad used to drive the whole family down to Blackpool to see the illuminations for a treat. We used to see all the lights, then put the seats down in the back of the car, lie down on a blanket and get loads of goodies for a picnic. It’s one of my favourite memories, so it felt really exciting to be going back to Blackpool to dance the other week. It was definitely a goal of mine to make it to the Blackpool show with Aljaz [Skorjanec, Abbey’s Strictly Come Dancing partner] and I am so happy we made it to the ballroom dancing Mecca. Lots of my family came down for a bit of a party after the show and…

1 FLIM SAVING MR BANKS Starring: Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, Colin Farrell and Ruth Wilson Before the classic film adaptation of Mary Poppins can begin, Walt Disney (Tom Hanks) goes head to head with stern author PL Travers (Emma Thompson, right and above with Tom) to secure the movie rights. As Walt strives to win her over, the tragic childhood that inspired her books is revealed. Colin Farrell is heartbreakingly sincere as the writer’s loving but alcoholic father; and watching the movie come to life under her disapproving gaze is great fun. Heartwarming stuff. [MJ] • In UK cinemas from 29 November 5.0 2 EXHIBITION FAITH IN ART:PALOMA FAITH Pop star Paloma Faith is almost as famous for her unique sense of style as she is for her music. Now…

Inspiration: Dita Von Teese “The secrets to this look, inspired by the opulence of the 1920s, are a rich, plummy lip and eye. Start with a full face of foundation, as reds and plums highlight imperfections. Begin the eyes by applying a lighter shadow onto the eyelids as a base. Blend softly into the creases, upwards and out, and also into the inner corners of the eyes. “Apply an enhancing medium plum shade in a horizontal V-shape onto the upper and lower eye, into the base of the lashes. Apply a deep, smoky plum into the sockets, along the lash line, and into bottom lashes three-quarters of the way in. Then, define upper lashes with dark brown liner and mascara. The key here is the burgundy lipstick – team with…

Inspiration: Madonna “If you are brave and self-assured with make-up then this is such a fun look to create. It’s about using make-up to make a statement and to enjoy shocking people. One word: Madonna. The greatest pop star rebel, who follows in the footsteps of Debbie Harry and led the way for Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry. This is about having fun with make-up and breaking the rules. “The key features are a well-defined eye using shadow, liner and lashes – but have fun and don’t stick with the usual browns, greys and blacks. Why not try a deep, emerald green colour and then team with a defined, deep coral cheek and the softest nude glossy mouth? “Start your eyes with a soft shimmer shadow on both…

Cabernet, bordeaux, merlot... plummy red shades for lips and nails are every bit as intoxicating as the fine wines they’re inspired by. Whether deep and glossy or dramatic and matte, the dark, rich variety is the go-to colour for winter, with a shade to flatter every hair and skin tone. There are few stars who haven’t tested the lip palette, with (above, clockwise from top left), supermodel Miranda Kerr, Oscar winner Anne Hathaway, Scandal actress Kerry Washington and Homeland’s Claire Danes heading up the wine list.…

The Look Thank Brit supermodel Cara Delevingne (left) for bringing back the power brow. LA brow guru Anastasia says: “Only tweeze stray hairs from below then groom with a clear or tinted brow gel upwards and out.

Once the hair is cool, dishevel curls with fingers and spritz hair with L’Oreal Professionnel Play Ball Beach Fizz. 3 Take a teardrop-shaped section from the rear top of your head – three inches from hairline to below the crown – and backcomb (bottom, on left). That is, take a small section at a time and, using a backcomb brush, direct the hair in the opposite direction to help give more height. 4 Leaving the sides and a few pieces around the face free, pull the rest of the hair into…

‘I start Christmas shopping two months before, with a master list. I’m a solo shopper – I don’t rope my friends in’ If the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow is an Oscarwinning actress, red carpet goddess and rock star’s wife isn’t enough to inspire a sense of overwhelming envy, there’s this one other detail: she’s made a start on her Christmas shopping. However Gwyneth – a lifestyle guru thanks to her goop.com website – confides that she actually feels “overwhelmed and a disaster” this year, and that she relies on extensive list-making to keep chaos at bay. “I’m definitely a planner,” confides the face of Hugo Boss perfumes as she fills us in on how she tackles the hectic holiday season, from internet shopping to handwritten cards. So what does Gwyneth,…

Kimberly Snyder is LA’s hottest nutritionist and the force behind the detox diet that is energising Hollywood A-listers such as Drew Barrymore, Olivia Wilde, Dita Von Teese, Fergie Duhamel, Hilary Duff and Reese Witherspoon. Now, with party season under way, her simple secrets to energy, weight loss and great skin will prove invaluable to anyone who has over-indulged. “I know how confusing it can be to navigate the numerous conflicting and ever-changing health philosophies that are out there,” she says, listing some of the more common ones – “‘Fruit is healthy,’ ‘No, fruit has too much sugar.’ ‘Be sure to count fat grams,’ ‘No, wait, make that cut carbs…’ “The conflicting advice used to always make me wonder if I was doing something wrong. What are we supposed to believe,…

Surrounded by Daleks, Time Lords and plucky companions, the Countess of Wessex was transported back in time at a Buckingham Palace reception to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the BBC hit series Doctor Who. Looking elegant in a red Valentino dress, Sophie, who hosted the party on behalf of the Queen, happily recalled her childhood years as she chatted to four of the actors who have played versions of the Gallifreyan hero. “I used to watch [Doctor Who] with my brother David – but I was braver than him,” she told them. Helping Sophie time travel were former Doctors Tom Baker and Peter Davison – who said the sight of two Daleks and a Tardis in the palace Bow Room was “the most incongruous thing I’ve ever seen” – along…

‘Mad, you and your brothers and sisters are my happiness. There is no greater honour in this world than being your mom’ Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt haven’t been seen together publicly for several months – perhaps not surprisingly, given that their busy workloads have been keeping them on opposite sides of the world. But as Angelina picked up a philanthropy honour at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles last week, the superstar pair finally reunited on the red carpet and even brought son Maddox, 12, along for good measure. Brad and “Mad” – the eldest of the pair’s six children, who is reportedly considering a film career as well – proudly looked on as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented Angelina with the prestigious…

Christmas came early for a host of celebrities as they enjoyed all the fun of the fair at an actionpacked night out at Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland. A stellar line-up of Britain’s biggest names shone brightly against the cold London skyline to enjoy the start of the festive season in an old-fashioned way. Making sure the event had plenty of X Factor, Gary Barlow treated his group Rough Copy to a night away from rehearsals, hitting one of the rides with the trio’s Joey Thomas. They were joined by fellow judge Nicole Scherzinger and one of her two remaining singers, Hannah Barrett (above). Model-of-the-moment Cara Delevingne told Father Christmas what she wanted to find in her stocking come the big day (below far right) – an experience shared by singing…

And now for something not so different… The surviving members of the Monty Python’s Flying Circus team have confirmed plans to reunite for a one-off show in London’s O2 Arena, their first stage performance together in more than 30 years. Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam and John Cleese, joined by Python regular Carol Cleveland (all left), made the announcement at a press conference last week, the anarchic quintet promising to revisit some of their classic sketches as well as incorporate new material. “People do really want to see the old hits but we don’t want to do them in a predictable way,” said John, 74. Monty Python appeared on the BBC from 1969 to 1974 (above, the original team, including Graham Chapman, who died in 1989) and…

Tennis fans were treated to some very mixed doubles when Sir Elton John and Billie Jean King teamed up to host their annual Smash Hits fundraiser. The event, now in its 21st year, raised more than £450,000 for Aids charities and Sir Elton had no problem rallying support – both among the players and the crowd. Friends for years, the sport and music legends set out to smash previous fundraising totals during the event at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and enlisted tennis pros including Andy Roddick and Venus Williams (left, with Sir Elton and Billie Jean – and a famous umpire) to play a number of singles and doubles matches. Despite the on-court rivalry, it was love-all at the end of the day. Keen player Sir Elton, who…

She needed just one yes – and she got it. Former X Factor star Cher Lloyd last week revealed she’d tied the knot with fiancé Craig Monk in a surprise ceremony. The pair got together in April 2011 and became engaged that November. Cher, 20, found fame on the TV talent show three years ago and has since gone on to enjoy success in the US, touring with Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato. Due to release her second album, Sorry I’m Late, next year, the chart-topping singer had no doubt she had already found her No. 1 in hairdresser Craig. “I want to get married as soon as possible – I can’t wait,” she said shortly after announcing her engagement. “I love Craig and he makes me happy. I know…

Strictly Come Dancing star Sophie Ellis Bextor last week revealed her distress after thieves broke into the dressing room she shared with Abbey Clancy and Natalie Gumede. The pop star, 34, confirmed police were investigating the “opportunistic” theft, which took place as the hit BBC1 show was being filmed at Blackpool’s famous Tower Ballroom, and said in a TV interview she was “very upset” that her iPad had been stolen. Model Abbey lost a mobile phone containing family photos and jewellery in the incident. Natalie’s phone was also stolen. “It happened about 9pm while the contestants were still in the arena and had just finished performing in the live show,” said a BBC source. It’s understood the thieves may have used 120-year-old tunnels under the tower to avoid CCTV cameras…

Nobody could have looked happier than Princess Caroline on Monaco’s National Day. Dressed in a tweed suit by Chanel, her smile spoke volumes not just about her position in the principality but also about her role in her own family as she prepares to become a grandmother for the second time this year. Due to give birth shortly to her baby with French comedian Gad Elmaleh, Caroline’s daughter Charlotte Casiraghi opted out of the day’s events. Turning out in force, however, were her siblings: Andrea, whose son Sasha was born in March, Pierre and Princess Alexandra, as well as Andrea’s new wife Tatiana, making her debut now that she has officially joined the Grimaldi clan. After the traditional mass and palace balcony appearance, reigning pair Albert and Charlene presided over…

Ex-US Secretary of State Clinton told of “fun times” with her royal pal, right, while presenter Michael Douglas – far right, with Mrs Banderas, Melanie Griffith – said he was “grateful” for Antonio’s 1998 flick The Mask of Zorro, as it “was the first time I saw my wife”, the movie’s costar Catherine Zeta-Jones.…

‘She’s become a mother and wants to support us. It’s like a gift’ Professor Tanya Byron One day she had a prim princess look in a recycled Orla Kiely dress, the next a stray gust of wind lifted up the hem of her skirt to reveal the longest, loveliest legs in the royal family. It also showed how quickly Kate has regained her slender, pre-baby shape just four months after the birth of Prince George. Visiting the Only Connect charity in London, Kate looked sensational in the bird-print Orla Kiely dresscoat she first donned in February last year, an item that sold out “within minutes”. The following day, while at mental health charity Place2Be’s London HQ, Kate’s Marilyn Monroe moment came as the strong breeze lifted the hems of her…

Here we go. It starts now!’ Prince Harry’s epic bid to reach the South Pole finally got under way on Friday after storms had delayed the start by two days. The fourth in line to the throne flew into Antarctica – arriving in temperatures of -40°C – ahead of the 200-mile Walking With The Wounded trek to the South Pole. Harry was in high spirits as he boarded his plane at Cape Town. “Here we go – it starts now!” he said. The three teams taking part in the challenge had been left kicking their heels in Cape Town and spent their time scaling Table Mountain. Major Kate Philp, who is on Harry’s team, exclusively told hello! from South Africa that frustration was setting in. “I think everyone wants to…

It was the show that catapulted Diana Vickers to fame, but t with a starring role in a play that is about to take up residence in London’s West End, she hasn’t had time to catch much of this year’s X Factor Factor. “I have been on stage every Saturday night, although I managed to catch Sam Bailey and thought she had wonderful voice,” says the 22-year-old, who recently released her second album, Music to Make Boys Cry Cry. The record was in part inspired by her relationship with musician and model George Craig, a former beau of actress Emma Watson. “When you are in love, you feel this sense of energy and magic in you and that is reflected in the songs,” says Diana. “There was fire in me…

As part of the cast of Last Tango in Halifax, actress Ronni Ancona is in awe of Sally Wainwright, the writer of the Bafta-winning BBC1 drama. “I wish I had an iota of her inspiration,” she tells us. Since filming finished on the second series of the show about former childhood sweethearts reunited in later life, Ronni has been hard at work writing her own screenplay. “It’s a new discipline for me and it’s made me very aware of great scriptwriters like Sally.” Along with performing and now writing, the 45-year-old, who is married to consultant rheumatologist Gerard Hill, has plenty to keep her busy, largely in the shape of their daughters Lily, eight, and five-year-old Elsa. “I swear I gave birth to Bette Davis and Lana Turner,” she laughs.…

SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSWOMAN AND SIR ALAN’S SIDEKICK ‘I am terri.ed of my children growing up. I hope they never leave’ While she may have raised her eyebrows in characteristic disapproval, Lord Sugar’s right-hand woman on The Apprentice Karren Brady refused to let rain spoil her Caribbean holiday. “When we arrived it was pitch black and there were monsoon conditions,” recalls the 44-year-old vice-chairman of West Ham United Football Club. “We were determined to have a good time because not only was it our first holiday as a family this year but it is probably the last time just the four of us will go away quite like this. It was a precious time.” Karren and her husband of 18 years, Canadian former footballer Paul Peschisolido, took their teenage children, Sophia, 17,…

Princess Beatrice joined some of the most respected figures in the fashion world at Somerset House for the private viewing of the new Isabella Blow: Fashion Galore! exhibition, featuring more than 100 pieces from the late style icon’s wardrobe. Co-curator Shonagh Marshall said: “There is such a sense of life lived in the clothes,” and for many there were bittersweet reminders of Isabella’s often tortured life. The invitees, including Gemma Arterton, Stella Tennant, Sarah Burton and Hilary Alexander, arrived along a hot pink carpet at the London landmark’s Embankment Galleries, where they drank Patrón Tequila cocktails and grazed on a selection of canapés.…

Floral notes have long been a mainstay of perfumery, but for many the idea of a floral scent can seem a little old-fashioned, reminding them of something their mother – or even grandmother – wore. Our continuing love affair with the smell of fresh laundry has meant that florals have slipped out of favour. We may like the juicy burst of citrus fruit, the warm and welcoming scent of woods, even the dark and dangerous world of spices, but roses and lavender – are they not more suited to drawer liners than skin these days? Absolutely not, say those in the know as perfumers the world over return to their roots – not to mention their leaves, blossoms and buds – to champion the grand floral as the true heart…

This garden favourite is known as the queen of perfumery and lies at the heart of more scents than any other flower. And little wonder. Roses contain phenethyl alcohol, a known narcotic and erogenic that mimics the chemicals produced in the brain when we fall in love. No longer sweet and a little old-fashioned, modern rose-based fragrances can be spicy, as in Marni’s new scent; creamy and velvety like the rose petals in the latest offering from Robert Piguet; dark and sexy as they are for Aerin; or even light, citrussy and fresh – witness Chloé’s newest incarnation. Marni Rose, £95, from Harrods Paul Smith Rose, £56 Kenzo Flower in the Air, £57 Roses de Chloé, £64 Robert Piguet Rose Perfection, £135, from Selfridges Estée Lauder Aerin Evening Rose, £80 …

Surely it can’t be as simple as that can it? Well, nothing in your world is ever as simple as that. You do have some peace-making to do. There is an old piece of unfinished business to attend to.

Before 2009, Matthew Morrison was a hardworking Broadway actor who wowed critics in the revival of South Pacific. Then along came Glee and he was catapulted to fame. The 35-year-old Californian handles it well, which he reckons has a lot to do with the fact he paid his dues. He spends his time off quietly with his fiancée, singer and model Renee Puente. As he releases his Christmas EP, A Classic Christmas, he tells hello! about popping the question, living with fame and being friends with Sir Elton John. You’ve released a collection of Christmas songs. What’s your idea of the perfect festive season? It would be sitting at home with my wife and kids, experiencing it through my own children’s eyes. That’s always been a dream of mine –…

There certainly are a lot of people trying to keep up with Kim Kardashian. Millions around the world follow her laughs and tears on her family’s reality TV show and an incredible 18.5 million follow her on Twitter. Stylewise, the 33-year-old Keeping up with the Kardashians beauty experiments fearlessly, and her every move – whether pouring her envied curves into a daring Givenchy dress at Paris Fashion Week or suddenly swapping her dark mane for honey blonde – is watched, lauded, criticised and imitated.

And she’s also celebrating the UK launch of Kardashian Beauty, a…

Inspiration: Kate Moss “This is all about rocking the just-out-of-bed look all day long. Kate is my obvious inspiration, but the look can be traced back to Patti Smith and Brigitte Bardot. Key are the intensely-lined eyes – smudged and with a feline flick – teamed with a nude lip. “This is my signature feline eye, teamed with smokiness and lashings of mascara. The key to making it look effortless but still groomed is a subtly-shaded cheek and eye socket, lots of lashes and a defined brow.
