London reigned supreme over the awards season last week, when the Duke of Cambridge joined Hollywood royalty at the 2014 EE British Academy Film Awards – aka the Baftas. Fast becoming a regular at celebrity events, film-loving Prince William – who is the president of Bafta – looked relaxed as he waved and shook hands with cheering fans lining the red carpet that led into the Royal Opera House. Once inside, the Duke, who was presenting the prestigious Bafta Fellowship to The Queen actress Dame Helen Mirren, added to the ceremony’s fun-filled vibe, high-fiving Tinie Tempah during the rapper’s opening performance and quipping that Dame Helen was “an extremely talented British actress I should probably call ‘Granny’” before he presented her with her award. ROYALLY REWARDED Responding to his comments,…

She is perhaps more used to handing out awards than receiving them, but at an event at Buckingham Palace last week the Queen revealed that she keeps her own Bafta “on the television”. Her Majesty – who was awarded the honorary gong last year in recognition of her outstanding patronage of the film and television industries – told Twelve Years a Slave director Steve McQueen of the award’s surprising location at a reception that recognised the UK’s dramatic arts. This year marks the Queen’s 60th anniversary as patron of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (Rada) and, to celebrate, a host of stars from stage and screen converged on the Palace. The guest list was a who’s who of leading filmmakers, entertainers and thespians, with award-winning director Steve joined by…

Hollywood star Bradley Cooper couldn’t keep his eyes off his model girlfriend Suki Waterhouse as she graced the catwalk at Burberry’s show during London Fashion Week. Taking his seat alongside US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, the actor seemed rapt every time Suki – who’s the face of luxury UK brand Burberry – appeared on the runway. The following evening, Suki won Model of the Year at the Elle Style Awards, the very event at which she met Bradley the year before. The night rounded off a busy week for the glamorous couple, which began with a joint appearance at the Baftas, at which 39-year-old Bradley was hoping to pick up a Best Supporting Actor gong for his role in American Hustle . Though he lost out to Captain Phillips actor…

‘Nobody can be as badly dressed on stage as we were’ ABBA star Björn Ulvaeus reckons his band (left) were Super Troupers for wearing outlandish costumes – for tax reasons ‘I don’t have them any more. I think I may have purchased them’ Victoria Beckham finally confesses to a boob job, which she’s now had reversed ‘You’ve got the elite skiers of the world and then you’ve got some mad old woman like me trying to make it down’ Violinist Vanessa Mae, 35, after coming last in the giant slalom at the Winter Olympics, where she represented Thailand ‘I like them young too! I’m not one to judge!’ Marc Anthony, 45, who recently split from Chloe Green, 22, says he’s friends with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez’s boyfriend Casper Smart – who…

Thanks to her days in the Spice Girls, Melanie Chisholm is used to being mobbed by adoring fans. But today, standing in a remote village in north Ghana, surrounded by women and children, it is the singer who is in awe as she meets this vibrant African community and learns of their daily struggle to find clean drinking water. Melanie is in Gbrumani in the Tolon district of Tamale to raise awareness of a campaign to provide little sachets that can purify dirty water full of life-threatening parasites. Provided by P&G and Asda, the sachets have transformed the lives of these villagers. Mum of one Melanie is encouraging us to help get more to other developing countries by buying P&G products from the supermarket chain. “You become a lot more…

Annoushka Ducas could have settled down for a life of unlimited luxury when she and her husband John Ayton sold their highly successful Links of London chain in 2006 for nearly £50million. Instead, the fine-jeweller found herself twiddling her thumbs. “I’d be checking my emails and there’d only be things from Waitrose or Ocado and I’d think, ‘Is that it?’” she remembers. “I stepped back and thought, ‘This is a bit scary. Maybe I should just go back and do what I do best.’” Which is exactly what she did. In 2009, she founded the jewellery company Annoushka and began to produce exquisite collections on a smaller, more upmarket scale. Over the past four years, these have attracted a host of celebrity devotees such as Kate Hudson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer…

Plummeting temperatures are usually bad news for your face and body, signalling chapped lips, dry, irritated legs, red noses and sensitivity. However, the latest salon treatments and beauty products have turned down the thermostat and are using lower temperatures to fight wrinkles as well as freezing away fat and zapping cellulite. “The key is to control the freezing process so that it selectively damages targeted tissue,” explains Harley Street-based anti-ageing specialist Dr Yannis Alexandrides, who is one of the first cosmetic doctors in the UK to offer wrinkle-busting Iovera “Frotox”. Described by Dr Alexandrides as a “non-toxic alternative to Botox”, Iovera is essentially a probe that can target and freeze the nerves that supply the muscles in the forehead so they no longer send the impulses that make the muscles…

Tooth or dare Almost half of British adults would consider cosmetic dentistry to achieve a perfect smile like that of Cheryl Cole (right). But campaign group Behind the Smile has discovered an alarming lack of knowledge about dental treatments such as teeth bleaching and straightening, caps and veneers. To address this, it has set up an independent advisory website, cosmeticdentaladvice.com. Heart warming Need an excuse to book some winter sun? How about the fact that sunshine is good for your heart. In winter, the rates of heart failure, heart attacks and strokes increase. Dermatologist Dr Richard Weller suggests that the sun’s ultraviolet rays trigger the release of nitric oxide, a molecule found in the skin that improves cardiovascular health, dilating the blood vessels, regulating blood pressure and enhancing blood flow…

Hit drama Silk returns for a third run of legal highs and lows as barristers Martha and Clive (Rupert Penry-Jones and Maxine Peake, together left) take on a murder trial close to home. “I think Martha has always been teetering on the brink of losing control but recent events have pushed her to the edge,” says Maxine, with a promise of the drama to come. “It was good to let rip.” And it seems Martha finds herself drawn to Clive, despite the pair being on opposite sides of the court. “They both enjoy competing against each other. That’s where the spark is created,” says Maxine. • Silk starts on BBC1 on Monday 24 February at 9pm…

British Formula 1 ace Jenson Button has proposed to his girlfriend, Argentine-Japanese model Jessica Michibata. The news was confirmed last Friday after the 29-year-old beauty was spotted wearing a large diamond ring during a trip to Bahrain, where Jenson is having his car tested in preparation for upcoming races. A spokesperson for Jenson said the couple were “delighted” and looking forward to tying the knot. In the meantime, Jessica can enjoy her stunning ring, which features a teardrop diamond set in a diamond-encrusted band. The couple’s engagement comes five years after they first met in a bar in Tokyo. Jessica initially turned down the 2009 World Champion’s request for a date, but he eventually won her over and the pair began dating eight months later. Following confirmation of their engagement,…

Singer Christina Aguilera has accepted a proposal of marriage from boyfriend Matthew Rutler, and is reportedly pregnant with their first child. The 33-year-old pop star, who already has a six-year-old son Max with her former husband Jordan Bratman, announced their Valentine’s Day engagement on Twitter, with the message: “He asked and I said…”, accompanied by a photo of her diamond ring (below left). The couple, who have been dating for three years, are yet to confirm they’re expecting a baby, but Matthew’s mother Kathleen strongly hinted at the news in an interview last week. Asked by a magazine if the couple are planning on relocating to the East Coast from Los Angeles, she answered: “I don’t know what their plans are. But when you have a baby, you’re not planning…

COURTENEY AND HER ROCKER LOVE ENJOY FAMILY BREAK IN VENICE Love is most definitely in the air as Courteney Cox, 49, and her new boyfriend, Snow Patrol rocker JoÚny McDaid enjoy a romantic stroll and gondola ride through Venice. They were joined in Italy by Courteney’s nine-year-old daughter Coco (below), who’s said to get on great with the 37-year-old Irish singer. Things are apparently getting serious between the Friends star and JoÚny, who were introduced by singer Ed Sheeran. “Courteney is already talking marriage,” a source told Us magazine CHRIS AND ELSA: PRECIOUS TIME WITH INDIA BEFORE TWINS ARRIVE With two bundles of joy on the way this spring, it seems that Thor star Chris Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky are keen to snatch plenty of one-on-one time with…

Supermodel and philanthropist Petra Nemcova is toying with the delicate rose-gold chains around her wrist that she calls her “comfort bracelets”. “I keep finding myself playing with the hearts when I’m in meetings or nervous,” she says of her bracelets, which feature mobile pink sapphires. Each has a special place in Petra’s heart; called the Happy Diamonds bracelet, it was designed by Chopard’s creative director Caroline Scheufele for the model’s Happy Hearts Fund, which helps rebuild schools struck by natural disasters in such countries as Thailand, Haiti, Mexico and the Philippines. “I love it. I wear mine every day – so does Caroline,” the Czech-born beauty tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview. “I did have three, but I gave one back to Caroline because during the holidays she gave hers…

HERE WE GO ROUND THE MULBERRY BASH Model Cara Delevingne was on hand at a special dinner to unveil the bag collection she’s designed for British label Mulberry. The ballroom at London hotel Claridge’s had been transformed into a stunning countryside setting with silver birch trees lining the room and the carpet strewn with 25,000 paper leaves. Lucky guests who bagged an invite enjoyed a British-inspired supper of sirloin of beef, plus Cara’s favourite desserts – sticky toffee pudding and apple and blackberry crumble. READY FOR THEIR MAKE-UP Young style stars were made up to be invited to join cosmetics giant Lancôme as it celebrated its 14-year association with the Baftas. The pre-awards party at luxury hotel The London Edition was hosted by brand ambassador Lily Collins with Joséphine de…

The Strictly tour is over and I’ve finally hung up my glittery dancing shoes. It feels really strange not to be dancing every day, having been training since last September, but I have made some friends for life and I’ll never forget this amazing chapter. It’s nice being back at home after touring for so long, but if I had ideas about taking a rest after Strictly I was mistaken. My diary is more packed than ever, with loads of shoots and interviews keeping me busy. Spending time with my baby [Sophia, nearly three] is always a priority and last week we got to do something special together. We went to the Disney Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at Harrods for a top-to-toe princess experience, where the kids get to dress up…

After 12 Years a Slave star Chiwetel Ejiofor (above) scooped Best Actor at the Baftas, hopes are high for more British success at the Oscars. “It’s been an amazing time,” the 36-year-old told me on the Bafta red carpet. “I’m really excited about it. It’s sort of like being caught in the whirlwind of a festival and being spun around but still having fun. Dizzy but thrilling.” Blue Jasmine star Cate Blanchett is hot favourite to win Best Actress at the 86th Academy Awards, which will be broadcast live from Los Angeles in the early hours of next Monday, and her British co-star Sally Hawkins (below) could take home a Best Supporting Actress statuette. “It’s insane and overwhelming,” says Sally, 37, when we meet. “I am a mouthful of clichés…

His songs, such as Ordinary People and Get Lifted, have provided the backdrop for many a tender encounter and in September last year American singer-songwriter John Legend, 35, had his own romantic moment when he married his long-term girlfriend, supermodel Christine Teigen, 28, in a ceremony on the shores of Lake Como in Italy. His latest album, the Grammy-nominated Love in the Future, is a love letter to his new wife. Now John is looking forward to starting a family and collaborating with one great Briton in particular… Love in the Future is your fifth album. What was your inspiration while you were writing it? The album is romantic, sensual and soulful. It explores the idea of beginning something special and that you are very excited about. Lyrically,…

Cheryl Cole cut an elegantly cool figure as she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport last week to fly to the UK. But it wasn’t just her chic ensemble of white skinny jeans and pale pink bouclé biker jacket that attracted attention. She’s been single since splitting with backing dancer Tre Holloway in October but was wearing a gold ring on her engagement finger. Also sporting a knowing smile and a pair of Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses, Cheryl – who had been in the US to attend the funeral of her friend, former Black Eyed Peas manager Nick Lauher – was giving nothing away. Nor has the singer, 30, responded to recent rumours that she is about to return to the UK version of The X Factor . The show’s creator,…

THE PRINCE OF WALES HAS A STAB AT SWORD DANCING He makes a point of embracing the traditions and cultures of the many countries he visits and on the Prince of Wales’s latest trip to Saudi Arabia, he proved he can cut it in any social situation – no matter how unusual. Wearing an outfit known as a thobe and a checked headdress, Prince Charles gamely threw himself into the Ardah ceremonial sword dance during a cultural festival in Riyadh. The sword-wielding 65-year-old performed the dance alongside members of the Saudi royal family, including his host, Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz. The dance celebrates the warrior tradition of the Middle Eastern kingdom and took place as part of the annual Janadriyah Festival, a cultural event marking all aspects of Saudi life.…

ADAM BRODY AND LEIGHTON MEESTER Confirm their secret wedding Adam Brody and Leighton Meester have tied the knot in a secret ceremony. The news come just three months after the couple, who starred together in 2011 film The Oranges, got engaged. Adam, 34, confirmed the news last week, simply replying “Yes” when asked by reporters if he’d married the 27-year-old former Gossip Girl actress. Rumours of a wedding began when the actor was spotted leaving a boxing gym in Los Angeles wearing a wedding band. MICHAEL SCHUMACHER French resort will not face charges Investigators have ruled out any criminal wrongdoing on the part of the French ski resort where Michael Schumacher suffered an accident that has left him in a coma since December. The 45-year-old Formula 1 champion, who suffered…

TRANSATLANTIC STAR CHRIS O’DOWD IS OVER THE ‘MOONE’ AT LIFE WITH WIFE DAWN AND SUCCESS OF HIS SELF-PENNED SHOW With a string of hit roles to his name, Chris O’Dowd is rarely out of the spotlight these days. So it’s a surprise to find that the Irish star is not big on red carpets, champagne or showbiz parties. In fact, when HELLO! ’s Inside Entertainment catches up with him over a pint of Guinness, the Bridesmaids actor says he spent the night before in bed watching a Beyoncé documentary. He insists wife Dawn O’Porter – who is away working – has nothing to worry about. “I was a very good boy,” he says. “I was in bed with Beyoncé! I’m a bit obsessed with her. I had tickets to go…

With Riders on the Storm by The Doors on the soundtrack at Marios Schwab, brollies at Orla Kiely and waterproof outerwear at Hunter, the London Fashion Week designers have clearly been influenced by the weather in their new autumn/ winter collections. Never have the elements been quite such a topic of conversation around the shows, perhaps because so many of the attendees had their flights diverted on their way to London. Come rain or shine, however, the shows went on and romance was in the air at Burberry Prorsum, where Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper was in the front row to see girlfriend Suki Waterhouse strut her stuff in a sheer gold-lace dress. Burberry chief creative officer Christopher Bailey charmed with a mellow collection inspired by the Bloomsbury group of artists,…

From the spoonful you add to your morning coffee to the hidden ingredient lurking in many everyday foods, sugar may seem sweet and innocent, but the reality can be bitter indeed. When consumed excessively, it can have negative effects on our health, with symptoms ranging from energy dips and headaches to tooth decay, obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and premature ageing. Nevertheless, it seems we can’t get enough of it. According to 2011’s National Diet and Nutrition Survey, the average Brit consumes about 700g of sugar a week, but the current advice is to limit intake to around 490g a week for men, 350g for women. So if you’re concerned about your sugar intake and want to cut back or even give up altogether, what’s the best way to…

It’s all change on Jonathan Creek, as I found out when I caught up with the show’s cast in the lobby of London’s Hackney Empire during the filming of the new three-part series. Alan Davies is back as the cynical magician’s consultant to solve more deadly conundrums, though he has shed his character’s trademark duffle coat – “I don’t even think it has appeared since we started filming,” he says – and is now suited and booted with a new screen wife, played by Sarah Alexander (right), in tow. “Doesn’t he look lovely in a suit? He scrubs up well, doesn’t he?” says the 43-year-old actress, looking good herself in faux fur and a shimmering floor-length emerald gown. “Don’t you always dress like this to go to the theatre?” she…

As she learns to read with stolen books and the help of foster father Hans (Geoffrey Rush) and his stern wife Rosa (Emily Watson, right, with Sophie at the Berlin premiere), Liesel’s growing understanding of the world begins to transform the lives of all around her, not least Jewish refugee Max (Ben Schnetzer).
