Her friend and long-time Strictly Come Dancing costar Sir Bruce Forsyth was famous for hosting the Generation Game and now Tess Daly (left) is playing her own version: learning to game online with her daughters, Phoebe, 13, and eight-year-old Amber. Tess recently took part in Vodafone’s #FamilySquad bootcamp, which saw the Strictly presenter get a crash course in online gaming from YouTube star Ali-A alongside actress Sally Phillips (above). “My youngest loves gaming and needed a playmate, so I jumped at the chance,” Tess tells HELLO! . “It has opened up a whole new world for me. I can’t say I’m going to be sitting down with my husband [Vernon Kay] to play Call of Duty, but give me Minecraft with my eight-year-old and I’m happy.” Like many parents, Tess,…

In a fashion tour de force, Queen Rania of Jordan was in the Netherlands last week, where the elegant royal and her husband King Abdullah II met their Dutch counterparts, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima (below).

And proving her sartorial flair at a State Dinner at Noordeinde Palace, Queen Rania wore a traditional Jordanian embroidered gown (far right), made by women of the Basmet Al-Khair Charitable Society. Her show of style continued the next day (right) with another Ferragamo hit: a grey leather blazer and Alexander…

She’s always known how to make waves and Elle Macpherson did just that last week, drawing admiring glances as she enjoyed Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Dubbed The Body during her 1980s heyday, the supermodel and businesswoman, who turns 54 this week, showed her nickname still holds true as she donned a cut-out black swimming costume. The Australian-born star has always advocated a healthy lifestyle and co-founded dietary supplement company WelleCo, launching its flagship supplement The Super Elixir in 2014 – fellow supermodel Kate Moss is said to be a fan. Elle recently told how her daily routine includes meditation, yoga, swimming or cycling and that she starts each day with cayenne pepper-infused water before drinking tea made with valerian root, hops and the herb skullcap. Sleep is also a…

‘It’s been a rich and diverse year for film and for gender and for race and for speaking out. Thank you, Time’s Up. We were very much on board from the very beginning. This is more important than any of us can ever really realise’ Acclaimed director Steven Spielberg (left) adds his thoughts on the sexual harassment scandal that has engulfed Hollywood ‘I’m not happy... It’s shocking... It’s still the good old boys’ network. The bottom line is that male voices are valued more than women’s voices’ Tennis’s battle of the sexes is still raging after nine-time Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova learns John McEnroe is paid ten times more as a commentator ‘Nothing to hide and everything to protect’ Country music star Keith Urban opens up about the philosophy of…

A hip London baker won the sweetest gig of her career last week when she was chosen to create Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding cake. Claire Ptak, 43, who owns Violet Bakery in Hackney, has been asked to make an organic elderflower and lemon wedding cake for the royal couple’s big day in May. “I can’t tell you how delighted I am to be chosen to make Prince Harry and Ms Markle’s wedding cake,” said the chef, who has celebrity fans including Jamie Oliver, with whom she has worked. “Knowing that they really share the same values as I do about food provenance, sustainability, seasonality and most importantly flavour, makes this the most exciting event to be a part of.” The appointment of the US-born baker is just another…

She’s the queen of racy romantic fiction and, last week, Jilly Cooper was invited to Buckingham Palace for a very special royal appointment: to be awarded a CBE for her services to literature and charity. Recalling her moment of glory as the Duke of Cambridge presented her with her insignia in the grand crimson and gold ballroom, the author exclusively tells HELLO! : “It was the first time I’ve met Prince William and he was totally charming. He’s very good looking – even better in the flesh. “When he said, Hello, Jilly, well done,’ I went all pink. But then I made him blush, too. When he said, You wrote Polo, didn’t you,’ I replied, Yes, and you’re an absolutely brilliant polo player.’ He told me his father and grandfather…

‘I like risks and I also have an enormous capacity for forgetting anything negative’ In 2006 Sophia Amoruso was a 22-year-old photography student at the prestigious Academy of Art University in San Francisco. She was living her dream but had little money in her pocket after paying her tuition fees, so she found herself a $12-an-hour job checking student IDs on campus. Sitting in the lobby, with time on her hands between checks, she took to browsing eBay for the kind of vintage clothing she liked to wear. She soon realised she knew how to source pieces that others would love to buy and so began selling online herself. To say that she is a natural businesswoman would be an understatement. Nine years later, the fashionista-turned-entrepreneur was on the cover…

As a seasoned skier, it’s unlikely that Binky Felstead spends much time on the nursery slopes. But that was the case last week when she treated her nine-month-old daughter India to her first taste of fun in the French Alps. The Made in Chelsea star and her “little ski bunny”, dressed in alpine style (above middle), accompanied Binky’s friend and former co-star Ollie Locke to the ski resort of Méribel, where they celebrated his 31st birthday.

Love you lots Mr Locke.” Also keen to…

Rumours of a marriage began when she and the head of VIP relations at Yves Saint Laurent were spotted wearing wedding rings at a football match in Paris. Robin, 51, who was married to actor Sean Penn for 14 years, has said: “I couldn’t be happier in my personal life to have met my true love.

Meghan Markle – and Emily – know the power of Pilates US-born, London-based blogger Emily Johnston is going dotty for spring – after some serious skin preparation and Pilates This year, I refuse to be the person who has a last-minute panic about coming out of hibernation into open-toe sandals, strapless dresses and bare legs, so I’ve assembled a team to get me sorted.

Vicky is the goddess with the golden hands, who can take your face back two decades – make the appointment. For fake tan, I’m calling in the experts: Perfect 10 is a mobile company…

HOME DELIVERY Whether the Duchess of Cambridge gives birth to her third child at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, as expected, or she gives birth at home – as was rumoured earlier this year – interest in home births is reportedly rising. Some mums-to-be may find the thought of giving birth away from hospital daunting; for others, being in familiar surroundings brings a sense of relaxation. For a second or subsequent baby, the NHS says home delivery is as safe as it is in hospital. Moreover, being surrounded by your nearest and dearest will give everyone the chance to bond with the new arrival straightaway. Preparation is key: choose a certified midwife with access to hospital doctors or specialists; create a detailed birth plan; and always…

They have been the kings of light entertainment for nearly two decades, presenting some of our most popular TV shows, adored by millions and winning every small-screen presenter award going. And at the heart of Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s professional relationship is their deep friendship, which dates back to 1990, when they met as teenagers on BBC children’s drama Byker Grove . “We made an agreement – whatever happened, we’d be mates for ever, and neither one of us would ever be on our own out there,” wrote the duo – best known as Ant and Dec – in their 2010 joint autobiography, Ooh! What a Lovely Pair . “If it all ended tomorrow, we’d still speak every day, we’d still see each other all the time, and we’d…

There wasn’t a hare out of place for Pamela Anderson as she posed with some seriously cute creatures at animal welfare organisation Gut Aiderbichl’s Easter market in Henndorf, Austria. But while she looked typically glamorous, the animal rights activist and former Baywatch star was in danger of being upstaged by her fellow models: a rabbit and a chick (left) and a donkey (right). In Austria to appear on stage with illusionist Hans Klok at the Salzburgarena as part of his current tour, the actress could not resist a stop-off at the home for rescued farm and other animals. Pamela is a longterm supporter of Gut Aiderbichl and shared details of her visit with fans beforehand. “On my way to a beautiful place,” she wrote on her official website and social…

Former Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon is to run for New York state Governor. The actress wrote on Twitter: “I love New York and today I’m announcing my candidacy for governor.” In a video launching her campaign, which she says will focus on inequality and educational reform, the 51-year-old said, “Our leaders are letting us down. We are now the most unequal state in the country with both incredible wealth and extreme poverty. Something has to change.” She will face the incumbent Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is bidding for a third term in office. If elected, Cynthia will become the first female, and first openly bisexual, Governor in New York history. After state Democratic Party vice-chairwoman Christine Quinn branded Cynthia an “unqualified lesbian”,…

From exceptionally radiant skin at Stella McCartney through Nina Ricci’s gently flushed cheeks and the full, feathery brows of Etro, barely-there make-up reigned supreme on the spring-summer catwalks. Reminiscent of balmy days outdoors and championed by the likes of Sara Sampaio, Zoe Kravitz and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, this ultra-wearable, you-but-better look has an eternal allure. SMOOTH SKIN “Every make-up look is dependent upon a good skincare regime,” says Mary Greenwell, UK ambassador for Laura Mercier. “The better the condition of your skin, the less make-up you need.” When prepping for an impossibly glowy finish, the key is to choose ingredients that target specific concerns to create a smooth, supple canvas. To brighten your complexion and minimise the appearance of pores, swap abrasive scrubs for chemical exfoliants – look for…
