I’m not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions – they can often set us up to fail if they don’t have a structure to them. Goals are different though, they’re a great way of setting achievable targets that help us get where we want to be. With that in mind, we’re introducing a new monthly column to our health pages. CareClinic Consult, in partnership with TerryWhite Chemmart pharmacists, addresses your health and wellbeing questions. Experienced pharmacists will give you the answers to all your wellbeing questions, in a supportive and easy-to-understand way. Read the first one on page 57. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2026 for all of us. Katherine Chatfield Editor…

If all goes according to plan, Prince Harry will be bringing Archie and Lilibet to the UK to finally meet their family, and sources confirm Harry is not giving up on reconnecting with his nephew, 12-year-old Prince George. “Harry was entranced by George and played a very active role in the first five years of his life,” says an insider. “He wants Archie and George to have a relationship, but more than anything he aches to reconnect with the little boy. Charlotte and Louis too, but George made him an uncle and made him want to become a father.” However, with royal reporter Tom Sykes revealing that the birthday and Christmas presents Harry previously sent to the Wales’ children went unopened and that no Christmas presents or cards were exchanged…

Following allegations made against David Walliams for “inappropriate behaviour towards young women” and being dropped by his publisher, his longtime Little Britain collaborator and friend Matt Lucas has distanced himself from the star. “Matt and David have loved and hated each other so many times over the past three decades, however it felt like they’d come full circle this year before these serious allegations came up,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “He knows David probably won’t forgive him for not backing him through this, but Matt’s deeply worried about how much this could cost him. Matt has a bigger presence in Hollywood and a lot more to lose,” they add. It comes as David, 54, “strongly” denies the allegations, with a spokesperson saying, “David has never been informed of any…

Making a commitment to being healthier and fitter at the start of the year is a popular trend. But while around 75 per cent of us pledge to kickstart a new habit, these intentions often stall after just a few weeks. The good news is that setting health goals in the right way can make them more achievable and long-lasting. WHY GOALS ARE GOOD Targets help keep us motivated when a new routine or budding habit loses its novelty. Seeing small improvements as we work towards our goals can boost self-esteem and inspire self-belief. Buddying up with family or friends who have similar aims, and helping to keep their goals on track, can make us feel useful and valued. “Setting health goals also encourages a more proactive approach to health…

After a year of snubs, and blocking his family on social media, Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham are planning a documentary to share their side of the Beckham family rift. Insiders close to Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, who turns 31 this week, say the pair distanced themselves from David and Victoria to escape a “controlling nightmare” and the nepotism label. “Brooklyn and Nicola are both fed up with everything they do being tied in some way to his family and this is a concerted effort to remove themselves from a circle that became impossible to succeed in,” the insider shares. “They agreed they should stop his parents from commenting or liking their social media posts to get away from the brand. Brooklyn believes he’s escaping a possible…

Jennifer Aniston shared a string of sweet snaps of her Christmas in LA with fiance Jim Curtis as friends confirm the actress is finally ready to tell her side of the story! “It’s taken her romance with Jim for her to get to this point, because writing her memoir has been a project she’s been putting off ever since her divorce from Brad,” says a pal. “Her late mum’s memoir turned her off the whole concept for years, but Jim’s been able to unravel some of her childhood pain and give her the ability to look at it with less emotion. “It’s sparked the confidence for her to finally put down her story in her words. It’s very cathartic but it’s also got the book publishing industry hyperventilating.”…

Dawn French has a special love for Australia, its people and our baked delights, so she jumped at the chance to work on a brilliant new ABC animated series from Academy Award-winning Aussie Shaun Tan. “I do think you are quite a talented bunch,” she tells Woman’s Day. “There’s a lot of free thinkers in Australia. There’s something free and fresh and new about the whole culture in Australia. I like it.” The much-loved star of The Vicar Of Dibley and French And Saunders has an enduring love affair with Australia, which has often taken her and comedy partner Jennifer Saunders Down Under.

I SURVIVED... A DEADY BLIZZARD What started as a dream hike through Chile’s Patagonia region quickly turned into a deadly nightmare for Australian couple Sid Bildmann and Renae Casini. Disaster struck when a blizzard formed while their 30-strong group were climbing to the summit of the 1.2km-high John Gardner Pass last November. “As we progressed higher, the wind was blowing and the conditions got worse,” Renae, 36, tells Woman’s Day. “It was so strong the wind picked me up and threw me into some rocks.” Facing howling gales up to 190km/h while the temperatures dropped to -5°C and fearing they’d freeze, the group decided to abandon the climb and walk 9km back to the nearest campsite. The climb, which they completed in November last year, was part of the 130km-long…

California insiders say Prince Harry has the private jet on standby as he awaits the Home Office review of the decision to strip him of 24-hour armed police protection on UK visits. If the decision is favourable it could pave the way for him to finally reunite King Charles, 77, and his grandkids Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four. With the decision expected this month, the prince, 41, has been making plans to return home – and he’s told his wife Meghan, 44, he wants them to live between the two countries, at least temporarily. DREAM LIFE “Harry’s dream is for them to live some part of the year in the UK and the rest in the US – or to do a kind of ‘gap’ year and shift…

Since joining the Church of Scientology in 1986, Tom Cruise has been one of the religion’s most outspoken advocates. But it seems the Mission Impossible star, 63, is caught at a crossroads between staying in the church with the rest of his family or leaving it for love. “Tom’s starting to realise how hard it is to find love amid the backdrop of his religion,” an insider tells. Every relationship he’s had over the past five years starts off well but taking the next step into an engagement always involves that Scientology question.” His ex-girlfriend Ana de Armas, who he split from in October after nine months, reportedly failed the secretive church’s auditing test. While Tom’s been quiet about his religion lately, the insider says he couldn’t leave if he…

She recently told him, according to friends, that she really wants him to be happy and that Arabella is the person who makes her daddy smile,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “Michael is ready to settle down, especially after his disastrous relationship with Jade Yarbrough – Jasmine Stefanovic’s little sister. He knows what a quality woman Arabella is, and what he loves most about her is…

There’s set to be another Summer Bay wedding, with Sophie Dillman and Patrick O’Connor becoming engaged! The couple, who met on set of Home And Away playing on-screen lovebirds Ziggy Astoni and Dean Thompson, announced the news on Instagram over the holidays, sharing an image of Patrick down on one knee while presenting Sophie with a gorgeous diamond ring in front of iconic Sydney Harbour. “Not all treasure is silver and gold mate.

How wonderful!” The couple left Seven’s long-running…

With untamed blonde locks, sex kitten pout and celebrated free spirit, Brigitte Bardot became a poster girl for the swinging ’60s, before disappearing at the height of her international fame. She will be remembered as one of the greatest screen sirens of the 20th century; yet behind all that fame and adulation was a tortured woman who tried to kill herself four times and struggled desperately with motherhood. When the French star died, aged 91, last week, tributes poured in for the film star who spent the second half of her life devoted to the care and welfare of animals. Her “secret” son barely rated a mention. She was already heavily pregnant with her son, Nicolas-Jacques, when she married the boy’s father, second husband, French actor Jacques Charrier, in 1959.…

EXPLORE L’EIXAMPLE The creations of Antoni Gaudi and his Modernista contemporaries lurk all over the broad boulevards of L’Eixample, from wonders such as the tile-covered Casa Batllo (above) to less-obvious structures such as Josep Puig i Cadafalch’s Casa Serra. An elegant, grid-like neighbourhood, L’Eixample emerged in the late 19th century, soon after Barcelona’s medieval walls were demolished. Now this is home to a blossoming accommodation scene taking in swish five-star havens, artsy boutique hotels and sociable hostels. TASTE VERMOUTH Vermouth first arrived in Barcelona from Italy around the turn of the 20th century, but over the last decade this fortified, botanical-infused drink has experienced a resurgence. It’s enjoyed as a pre-lunch tipple, served over ice with an olive and a slice of orange and, ideally, accompanied by simple tapas like…

STAR SCHOOL PORTRAITS They’d grow up to be some of the most famous faces in the world.
