‘I always dreamed of owning an island. Who hasn’t? Eventually I found myself owning not just one but 11 — the Copperfield Bay islands’ ‘I am so lucky to have found David. There are very few people in the world like him. I am so proud of him’ Chloe David currently spends 42 weeks a year in Las Vegas performing his new show, Meet and Greet, so Musha Cay provides him with the perfect spot to enjoy some peace and quiet with Chloe, 28. The couple met six years ago and have a three-year-old daughter, Sky, who relishes playing on the pristine white sands of her father’s Caribbean paradise. Above: the spectacular sand bar, which can be reached by boat. Right: a view of one of Musha Cay’s four houses, the…

As the festive cheer fades and the heavens continue to rain down on us, whose thoughts haven’t turned to jetting off on a luxury holiday? While most only get to dream of distant climes, these celebrities spent Christmas and the New Year in exotic locations around the globe. Here’s how they spent their winter breaks… Simon and Lauren in Barbados It’s already shaping up to be a big year for Simon Cowell and his girlfriend Lauren Silverman. And they couldn’t look happier about it. The X Factor mogul will become a father for the first time when New York socialite Lauren gives birth to a boy in February. But before that happens, they managed to squeeze in a babymoon in Simon’s regular festive retreat of Barbados. The happy couple were…

It’s fair to say that Jennifer Aniston is a creature of habit. The Horrible Bosses star has once again rung in the New Year at one of her favourite resorts, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Joined by her fiancé Justin Theroux, Jennifer, 44, looked as trim as ever as she basked in the sun in a series of bikinis. The actress was also joined by her best friend and former Friends co-star Courteney Cox and the two were seen enjoying time by the pool as they showed off their enviable figures. One US website reported that the party was staying in a beachfront villa in an exclusive gated community that costs $9,500 (£6,000) a night to rent and features a private gym, chef and butler as well as a personal masseuse.…

Having danced her way to victory on BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing, Abbey Clancy was in tiptop condition this Christmas. And what better way to show off her fabulous figure than by flaunting it on a beach in Dubai? After lifting the glittberball trophy, Abbey told HELLO!: “I just want to get some sun on my bones and chill out with people I love. As long as there’s a beach, I’ll be happy.” And she couldn’t have looked more content as she relaxed with her beloved two-year-old daughter Sophia, brother John and mother Karen on the beach, showing off her enviable figure in a green Melissa Odabash bikini. Footballer husband Peter Crouch was unable to join his 27-year-old wife on the festive break, owing to his busy football schedule, but the…

After a frenetic year that saw her travel the globe for work, it was time for model Cara Delevingne to kick back and relax over the festive season. The 21-year-old flew to Barbados to spend some time with her family, including her model sister Poppy and Poppy’s fiancé James Cook. Clearly enamoured with the island, she posted a photo of the ocean on Twitter with the caption: “How could I ever leave?” She also posted snapshots of the family’s Christmas Day, including one of everyone wearing either antlers or a Santa hat. After relaxing for the first few days of her trip, Cara had gathered enough energy to hook up with her celebrity friend Rihanna. The duo partied together before heading to New York to ring in the New Year.…

Non-stop jetsetter Paris Hilton managed to slip in a brief visit to Aspen, Colorado, over the Christmas season. The model, businesswoman and heiress, 32, looked stylish as she walked around the snowy town wearing black ski trousers and a red jacket, which she accessorised with a Chanel hat and gigantic blue designer bag. Enjoying her post-Christmas break, she tweeted: “Love Aspen. My # Winter Wonderland” soon after arriving. She was later spotted eating sushi at Japanese restaurant Matsuhisa before attending a film screening. After spending several days on the slopes, frequent flyer Paris flew to Las Vegas, where she was booked to spin some tunes at the Hyde club in the Bellagio hotel on New Year’s Eve. She later flew to Calgary, Canada, to play a set at the start…

It was a big moment for The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco when she tied the knot with American tennis player Ryan Sweeting on the last day of 2013 – “the greatest night of my entire life”, she said. The comedy actress staged a fire-and-ice themed wedding for 150 guests at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Santa Susana, California. Wearing a pink tulle strapless Vera Wang gown and a beaming smile, Kaley, 28, was eager to share her happiness with those not on the guest list, too, posting snaps of her celebrations on her Instagram page. The couple had been dating for just three months when Ryan, 26, proposed last September. “From day one, I just knew immediately,” said Kaley, adding: “We grew up with the same people, we just…

There’s no sparkler in sight yet, but Princess Beatrice and boyfriend Dave Clark were ring-ing in the new year with an exotic trip to St Barts. The couple, who have been tipped to cement their six-and-a-half-year relationship with an engagement in the not-too-distant future, were holidaying on the popular Caribbean island with friends. While it was a shore thing that they would have a good time together, Beatrice, 25, and her 31-year-old businessman love upped the fun ante with some time aboard billionaire steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal’s superyacht. The red-haired Princess kept her cool in a turquoise and white Melissa Odabash sundress, with a hat keeping the sun off her fair skin (above). It was then time for a sea change, with Beatrice and Dave reportedly setting off to Aspen…

While the Duchess of Cambridge has become famous for recycling her outfits, Denmark’s royals have also been quietly reworking favourite looks. Stepping out for t h e t r a d i t i o n a l New Year’s Court Banquet at Amalienborg Palace, both Queen Margrethe and Crown Princess Mary were wearing much-loved pieces. As she joined husband Prince Henrik to salute well-wishers (right), the Queen looked stunningly festive in the apple-green gown she had previously worn in 2011 for the same occasion, topping it off with an emerald tiara. Mary, meanwhile, on the arm of husband Crown Prince Frederik (far right), was sporting a dress she had first worn when pregnant with Princess Isabella in 2007. Breaking in something new was Princess Marie (left), whose silver peplum…

The morning after the night before and there was little sign of a hangover as Beyoncé (right) left her Miami hotel with husband Jay Z and their daughter Blue Ivy (left) on 1 January. After warming up with a spot of dancing at the Versace mansion, the couple had spent the big night partying at Sean Combs’s estate with the likes of Robin Thicke, Drake and Beyoncé’s former bandmate Michelle Williams. Of course, Mrs Carter had a lot more than just a new year to celebrate. Last month saw her launch her new album via the Internet with no advance promotion – and sell 430,00 copies in the US in a single day. And there is an even more important date to look forward to this week, when Blue Ivy…

JAMES BLUNT You’re Beautiful singer to marry Singer James Blunt is engaged to legal consultant Sofia Wellesley, granddaughter of the Duke of Wellington. The 39-year-old former army officer is believed to have popped the question over Christmas. He and Sofia, 29, began dating in early 2013 after they were introduced by his sister Daisy. “It takes a strong person to be able to deal with somebody working in music,” James said recently. “I’m lucky to have her.” • Golf star Rory McIlroy and Danish tennis ace Caroline Wozniacki, 23, are engaged after Rory proposed in Sydney during the New Year’s Eve fireworks. Rory, 24, tweeted: “I have a feeling it’s going to be a great year!! My first victory of 2014 #shesaidyes!!” • Lisa Niemi, 57, the widow of Patrick…

Tara, 42, is a socialite, TV presenter, columnist and musician who has spent time in rehab for addiction. She is also patron of the children’s autism charity Speur-Ghlan I decided not to make any resolutions this year; well, I can’t give up anything else, can I? Instead, I’ve been thinking about what I can do. This is where Speur-Ghlan – Gaelic for blue skies – comes in. Speur-Ghlan is a small Scottish charity that delivers early intervention for children diagnosed with autism or developmental delays. They asked me if I would be their patron via the private messaging on Twitter and I was instantly attracted. Firstly, because I have an interest in autism; I have several friends whose children are autistic, so I have some knowledge of the challenges they…

What does 2014 have in store for the royals? Will there be wedding bells? And which senior HRH will celebrate turning 50? HELLO! takes you through some of the key dates in the House of Windsor’s diary. Last year we celebrated the birth of a future King, in 2012 the nation rejoiced at the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and who can forget the royal wedding in 2011? With the popularity of the royals at an all-time high, a thrilling and busy year lies ahead… JANUARY The year began with the announcement that the Duke of Cambridge was going to study agriculture. He starts his ten-week course at Cambridge this week to help him understand farming and rural communities. It’s the ideal education for a young man who will one day inherit…

It was a dazzlingly bright New Year for Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri Cruise, who swapped the minus-zero temperatures of New York for a chance to shed their winter coats and show off their eye-catching bikinis. And while Katie, 35, showcased her impressively toned figure in a pair of denim cut-offs and a bikini top, Suri opted for a cute Hello Kitty polka dot number while she tucked into a hamburger. The seven-year-old fashionista, who took her favourite toy south with her, was fresh from Christmas with her dad Tom Cruise, who was upbeat in his New Year message, tweeting: “Here’s wishing you an AWESOMELY rewarding 2014 filled with peace, love, friendship, big dreams and accomplishments!”…

Frances O’Connor and Katherine Kelly have more in common than just Mr Selfridge, the period drama in which they both star. They also share a love of Australia. Frances grew up in Perth while her co-star Katherine met her Melbourneborn husband Ryan Clark there when she was a bridesmaid at a best friend’s wedding. “I don’t know whether I’m coming or going,” says Frances when we meet behind the scenes of the ITV series, which returns this month. Although she was raised in Australia, she was born in Oxfordshire and until recently had been living in Los Angeles with Scottish actor Gerald Lepkowski and their son Luka, eight. Last summer, they relocated to the UK while she filmed her role as Rose, the long-suffering wife of shop founder Harry Selfridge…

The atmosphere on the set of the second series of ITV’s The Bletchley Circle was so much fun for the actresses involved that Rachael Stirling couldn’t resist giving them all Spice Girls nicknames. Based on the lives of a group of women who worked as code-breakers at Bletchley Park during the Second World War, the drama is rare in that the lead roles are played by women – Rachael Stirling, Julie Graham, Anna Maxwell Martin, Sophie Rundle and Hattie Morahan. And that, Rachael says, brought about a special girl power team spirit. “It was fantastic to work together. We drove in each day with a song in our souls and caused chaos when we got there,” smiles Rachel, 36. “When Hattie joined us in the second series, she said it…

Talented 25-year-old West End star Alistair Brammer has an impressive CV. Having trod the boards in musicals Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Taboo, he is currently appearing in War Horse and will join the revival of Miss Saigon when it opens in May. In 2012 he took his first steps into film, appearing as Jean Prouvaire in the Oscar-winning Les Misérables. He appreciates how fortunate he is to appear on stage every night. “You could be having a horrible day, but for two and a half hours you have to lose that in order to play your character. That gives you perspective and you realise that your problems are not that big.” Devon-born Alistair is the youngest of seven, which may explain his confidence. “I guess I had…

The youngest of our rising stars, Paralympic swimmer Amy Marren is just 15 years old but already boasts two gold and two silver medals from Montreal’s 2013 IPC World Championships. The Essex teenager, who was born without her right hand, is the second fastest swimmer in history in the S9 disability category and in December was named Sunday Times and Sky Sports Disability Sports Person of the Year. She started swimming at the age of four, she tells HELLO!, adding: “I was ready to give it up aged ten, but then I watched Ellie Simmonds in Beijing and I said to my mum, ‘That’s what I want to do.’ I was adamant I was going to the London Olympics.” Amy followed her dream and at London 2012 competed in three…

It’s an exciting moment for HELLO! Our mother magazine, ¡HOLA!, has been invited to celebrate its 70th birthday with an exclusive photoshoot with the King of Spain at home in the palace. No honour could be more appropriate for us, as our history has been inextricably entwined with that of the monarch, who was just six years old when ¡HOLA! made its debut. We’ve been fortunate enough to have a lifelong relationship with Juan Carlos and his family, one which has been fundamental to ¡HOLA!’s success, and the forerunner to HELLO!’s unrivalled coverage of royal affairs. Like his friend the late Princess Diana, the king has not only shared some of his most challenging moments with us but also stayed close to the hearts of his people through the pages…

The winter months are really not good for making you want to exercise and eat healthily. Who wants to eat salad when it’s cold? Winter is all about comfort food and staying warm so it’s much harder to get in the mood to exercise. When I’m training I always feel better in myself while the less I train, the more I give in to eating chocolate and picking from the fridge. I’m a terrible picker! I feel like I was a lot fitter last summer so I’ve decided to start training more and eating better – and I’m going to share my favourite exercises, tips and healthy-eating ideas here. New Year’s resolutions To train more often I currently train three days a week – two if I’m busy – so…

The TV critic and ITV1’s Daybreak showbiz editor turns roving reporter for HELLO! to bring us the hottest telly gossip. This week the cast of Call the Midwife on delivering the new series and why your daily commute might never be the same again Settling into their new set after the detonation of an unexploded bomb shook the foundations of the old Nonnatus House at Christmas, the cast of Call the Midwife are on impish form when we meet up during filming of the hit drama’s third series. Miranda Hart (right), who plays Chummy, is in good spirits. “Peter and Chummy have a baby, so we are dealing with parenthood for the first time,” explains Miranda, joking that she and co-star Ben Caplan – who plays Chummy’s husband, PC Peter…

Putting the pain of her recent split from her cricket star fiancé Shane Warne behind her, Elizabeth Hurley kicked off the new year in characteristic style when she headed off to snowy Switzerland to take to the pistes. Joined in fashionable St Moritz by two of her favourite male companions – son Damian, 11, and Hollywood star Hugh Grant, her former boyfriend and close friend – the 48-year-old actress, model and businesswoman looked coolly chic in a cream padded jacket with a big furry collar and oversized shades. But while her choice of outfit was as spot-on as ever, it seems Elizabeth’s skiing was a little rusty, as she confessed to her almost half a million Twitter followers on New Year’s Eve. “Collapsed in lifeless heap after first day skiing…

They may be two years into their marriage, but Sir Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell acted like honeymooners while spending Christmas in the Caribbean. The 71-year-old former Beatle and New York businesswoman Nancy, 52, showed off their trim figures as they held hands in the sea off St Barts. Sir Paul was also seen chatting to a group of holidaymakers. But he really only had eyes for his wife either upon the beach or doing a little shopping together. When not on holiday the couple split their time between Sir Paul’s London home and Nancy’s Manhattan apartment, but they may be thinking of expanding their Big Apple portfolio as last month they were seen viewing a $13million (£8million), four-bedroom property on Fifth Avenue. Despite being one of the most successful…

There’s only one thing better than seeing in the New Year on a sundrenched paradise island, and that’s becoming engaged while you’re seeing in the New Year on a sundrenched paradise island. Fashionista and New York socialite Olivia Palermo, 27, did just that, accepting her German model boyfriend Johannes Huebl’s marriage proposal on New Year’s Eve during a romantic holiday on the Caribbean holiday hotspot of St Bart’s. Thrilled Johannes, also 27, announced the news on Instagram, uploading photos and a video of his fiancée playfully running away from the camera before stopping to reveal the new sparkler on her ring finger (far left). “Happy New Year to everybody and this is how we celebrate it: OP said YES,” he wrote in the accompanying message. The couple, who began dating…

Former X Factor judge Cheryl Cole – tipped for a return to the show later this year, where she may possibly be reunited with Simon Cowell – experienced her “first hot Christmas” in South Africa. The 30-year-old kept her fans up to speed with her trip through Instagram, posting photos of herself posing on the beach with friends and cuddling up to a dog, accompanied by the caption: “It doesn’t matter where I go in the world i will somehow always manage to find a dog to love.” After spending her days lazing in the sun, Cheryl spent some of her nights clubbing in Cape Town’s hottest spots. On New Year’s Eve she was seen emerging slightly bleary-eyed from a bar in the city, having earlier had her photograph taken…

One of the hardest-partying stars in showbusiness, Rihanna showed no signs of slowing down over the festive period. The 25-year-old jetted off to her native Barbados for the start of her Christmas break, strutting her stuff on the beach in a series of striking bikinis, including a £600 bronze number from Charlie by Matthew Zink that featured 2,638 Swarovski crystals. Showing off her flawless figure, she spent her days relaxing with family members, including her younger brother Rajad, and close friend Cara, occasionally taking to the water either on a boat or a jet-ski. She and Cara’s Big Apple jaunt saw Rihanna reportedly hosting a dinner for 20 at her home before everyone moved on to rapper Jay Z’s 40/40 club in the city.…

She may be newly single, but that fact certainly hasn’t slowed Madonna down. Showing off her figure in form-fitting ski gear, the Holiday singer traversed the slopes of Gstaad, Switzerland with ease over the New Year. Accompanied by her children – Lourdes, 17, Rocco, 13, Mercy, eight, and David, also eight – the sporty family were in their element as they enjoyed the snow in the Swiss resort. Showing off a maternal side, actress-in-training Lourdes (below), who recently played Rizzo in her performing arts school’s production of Grease, made sure her younger siblings were confident on the white stuff as they honed their skills. One insider told a New York website that Madonna encouraged the children on the slopes by saying: “We go big or go home.” Madonna, 55, shared…

It looked as if the sun had set on their five-year on-off relationship last July but photos of the sun in splendour have sparked fresh reports that Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger (left) are back together again. Speculation first started at New Year’s Eve. Formula 1 ace Lewis spent the holiday in the celebrity hot-spot of Aspen, Colorado, posting photos on his Twitter page of him with his family and his bulldogs over the days. One showed him at a party with Swizz Beatz, the husband of Alicia Keys – the same event from which X Factor judge Nicole had tweeted a photo of herself with the US singer. “What a MAGICAL new years eve with friends and loved ones,” wrote the former Pussycat Doll. Things truly heated up on…

No one can accuse the Duke of Cambridge of not facing his future subjects after he got up close and personal with 12-year-old Madison Lambe to help her get the perfect pic. At Sandringham to watch the royal family over the festive season, the young girl from Boston, Lincolnshire, was dared by her mum to ask either the Queen or Prince William for a photo. The Prince snapped up the chance to help and when a nervous Madison struggled to press the button on her cameraphone, he was happy to put her – and him – in the picture (below). “You can’t beat a good selfie,” he said, taking a photo of both of them. “I couldn’t believe it,” said the schoolgirl. “He was really nice and I was so…

Starting the new year with an old flame, Flavio Briatore kicked off 2014 in the company of his former love Naomi Campbell. The Formula 1 boss hosted a New Year’s Eve bash in Malindi, Kenya (below), where he and his wife of five years, Elisabetta, 33 (left), have been staying with their three-year-old son Falco following the opening of their exclusive Billionaires Resort last month. Naomi – who’s been single since splitting from billionaire boyfriend Vladimir Doronin last spring – was in Africa on a charity trip but made sure she packed something that would perfectly fit the night’s white dresscode. And she certainly looked the model guest as her beaded dress floated in the breeze as she partied on the beach (right). Naomi, 43, and Flavio, 63, have remained…

Stylist and fashion designer Rachel Zoe expanded her own capsule collection when she welcomed a seasonal new arrival in the shape of baby son Kaius Jagger (aka Kai ) shortly before Christmas. Rachel, 42, and her husband, business man Rodger Berman, announced their news by tweeting: “So excited to welcome our baby boy into the world… he’s 7lbs 12oz, beautiful, healthy and we couldn’t be happier.” They later added: “We cannot stop smiling.” The day after the birth, Rachel and Rodger, who also have a twoyear-old son, Skyler, shared a picture of their tiny bundle on Rachel’s website, the new mum looking characteristically chic despite still being in her hospital bed. “Rodger, Skyler and I are madly in love and will be happily hibernating for the next couple of weeks,”…

The doctor who delivered Prince George has b e e n awarded a knighthood in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours list. Marcus Setchell, 70, had delayed his retirement after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge asked him to oversee the birth of their first child. He also treated Kate for severe morning sickness at the start of her pregnancy. Actress Penelope Keith, 73, who starred in classic sitcom The Good Life, becomes a Dame, as does Murder, She Wrote actress Angela Lansbury, 88. Apprentice star Karren Brady, 44, said she was “surprised but proud” of her CBE, awarded for services to entrepreneurship and women in business in last week’s list, which for the first time included more women than men. Opera singer Katherine Jenkins, 33, said she was “incredibly humbled” after hearing of her…

Former F1 champion Michael (inset top) was skiing in Meribel when he fell and hit his head on a rock. A helicopter was quickly on the scene to rush him to hospital (top), where he was operated on twice. His wife Corinna (left) has been by his bedside, while fans marked his 45th birthday on Friday by mounting a silent vigil outside the hospital (above) F1 ACE MICHAEL SCHUMACHER FIGHTS FOR SURVIVAL The most successful Formula 1 driver ever, Michael Schumacher, is in hospital fighting the toughest battle of his life after suffering serious head injuries in a skiing accident in France. The seven - times F 1 champion, who turned 45 on Friday, was skiing off-piste in Meribel with friends and his 14-year-old son Mick when he fell and…

‘Kate is an inspiration. The perfect modern day woman’ Though she’s preparing to celebrate her 32nd birthday this week, the Duchess of Cambridge is on the verge of reaching another milestone: on 23 January she becomes the “thousand-day Duchess” – 1,000 days after she married Prince William in a magical ceremony at Westminster Abbey and his grandmother the Queen bestowed the Cambridge dukedom upon the newlyweds. Since then, this elegant and enchanting woman, who – along with Princes William and Harry, Zara Tindall and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie – has injected youthful energy and glamour into the House of Windsor, has achieved many firsts, including becoming a mother. And her son Prince George reaches his own mini milestone on 22 January, when he turns six months old. Despite still being…

Beaming as they show off matching green frocks, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s gorgeous girls Sunday Rose, five, and two-year-old Faith skip through Sydney airport on their way back home to Nashville USA after a bumper winter break Down Under. The Christmas season coincided this year with Nicole’s parents’ golden wedding anniversary, which they celebrated in style at the Tea Room at Sydney’s Middle Harbour, with Sunday Rose and Faith joining the Kidman clan to toast the happy couple. Having recently wrapped The Railway Man – in which she plays the wife of POW Eric Lomax – Nicole jetted to Sydney with the girls ahead of four-time Grammy awardwinner Keith, who caught up with them for the family party before snatching some shut eye at the couple’s Lavender Bay apartment, which the…

His latest film, Last Vegas – dubbed “The Hangover for pensioners” – sees three 60-something friends trying to cling to their youth as they throw a stag party in Las Vegas for their remaining single pal. It’s a feeling 70-year-old Robert De Niro can sympathise with. “How does time go by so fast?” muses the actor, who co-stars in the comedy with Morgan Freeman, 76, Michael Douglas, 69, and Kevin Kline, 66. “I can account for every year, every six months, every month, but you wind up over here and you look back there and it’s gone.” The two-time Academy Award winner, who has six children and three grandchildren, certainly has a lot to feel proud of as he enters his eighth decade. “I feel I am very, very lucky…

Stunning Hollyoaks actress Anna Passey is nominated for Best Newcomer in this month’s National Television Awards for her portrayal of “cold, cynical and manipulative” Sienna Blake. “If you are going to do a soap, you’re lucky to get a character as unhinged as that,” she smiles. The 29-year-old has appeared on stage and in films (her most recent, Two Days in the Smoke, will be released later this year) and in between acting jobs she worked in a karaoke bar. She describes Hollyoaks, which she joined a year ago, as her “first proper” TV job and with it came instant recognition. “This wasn’t necessarily a good thing because of the character I was playing,” she laughs. “I got a fair bit of abuse in Asda once.” She says that viewers…

At 6ft 2in, with chiselled cheekbones and the perfect pout, it’s clear that model Miles Hurley has inherited some pretty good genes – and they are shared by his aunt Elizabeth Hurley. Miles, 17, didn’t use his famous connection to get signed, however. He was spotted by a scout from Next Management while shopping in London’s Camden Market at the age of 13. After studying for his GCSEs he decided to devote himself to modelling full time. Has his aunt given him any advice? “Lots,” says the polite, friendly Londoner. “Mostly to be kind to everyone you meet because it is such a tiny industry.” He says it helps to have seen how Elizabeth, who is the sister of his mother Kate, copes with the limelight. “I see her interact…

I TV’s This Morning’s style presenter Darren Kennedy is modelling one of the suits from his own capsule collection in our photoshoot. The 32-year-old has been interested in fashion for as long as he can remember. “I was that little kid in the changing room with my mum when I was six, going, ‘No, not that one, try this,” laughs the Dublin-born star, who has appeared on TV shows in the UK, the US and Ireland. Darren is also hellomagazine.com’s newest blogger, is a contributing editor to Telegraph Men and has his own fashion website. He hasn’t always looked so dapper and says his worst fashion faux pas was at the age of 13. “You’ve heard of double denim? Well, I went five times denim. I had a denim flat…

WINTER FASHION WARM-UP Fashion fans Alice Naylor-Leyland and Katie Readman gave a warm welcome to guests as the close friends hosted a stylish Winter’s Evening for luxury fashion brand Hockley in its central London showroom.

‘Leaving Corrie is a bit daunting but I’m really excited because it’s going to be a massive, explosive ending’ It’s unlikely to be a year that Michelle Keegan is going to forget – and for all the right reasons. In 2013, the 26-year-old Coronation Street actress got engaged to TV presenter and former The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright, who proposed during a holiday to Dubai in September. She made more headlines when it was revealed that she will be involved in one of Corrie’s most explosive storylines when she leaves the soap this May, after spending six-and-ahalf years starring as the show’s Tina McIntyre.

The ever-luminous Cate Blanchett looked more than ready for her close up as she chatted to hello!’s beauty editor Nadine Baggott at a recent SK-II skincare event. She asked Cate’s make-up artist and good friend Mary Greenwell to reveal how she creates her look. Complexion perfection “Cate has the most gorgeous skin,” says Mary. “We always start with an SK-II Facial Mask, £60 (5), to hydrate her skin while she has her hair done.

1 FILM 12 YEARS A SLAVE Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Lupita Nyong’o, Brad Pitt Director Steve McQueen brilliantly brings this story about the barbarity of slavery to life. It’s based on the memoirs of Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), who in 1841 was kidnapped in Washington and forced into slavery in Louisiana. Among those being tipped for Oscars are Britishborn Chiwetel and Michael Fassbender, who plays plantation owner Edwin Epps. Brad Pitt coproduced the film and also appears as a Canadian abolitionist who offers much-needed hope. [MJ] • In cinemas 10 January 2 BOOK NOW LA BOHEME You’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into 1940s Paris in this production of La Bohème at London’s Royal Albert Hall, staged in the round and performed in Italian with English surtitles.…

Since splitting from ex-husband Ashton Kutcher, Demi has so far failed to find lasting love Demi Moore couldn’t have looked happier as she rang in the New Year with her new man, rock band drummer Sean Friday, while holidaying at an exotic resort in Mexico over the festive season. Showing off a figure that is surely the envy of women half her age, the 51-year-old looked tanned and toned as she spent time on the beach in Tulum with the 27-year-old musician, who plays with Los Angeles rock band Dead Sara. Wearing a string bikini, Demi joined the heavily tatttooed drummer in the water for an affectionate cuddle. At one point she nearly lost her sunglasses in the waves as the pair frolicked. The couple later played on the beach…

Last year was a tumultuous one for Chloe Green and Marc Anthony, who began dating in February, split in April and were reconciled by July. But any doubts about the current state of their relationship were quashed as the Topshop heiress and her Latino crooner beau rang in their first ever New Year together in Barbados. Walking hand in hand along a tropical beach, the love birds, who are on holiday with 22-year-old Chloe’s billionaire dad Sir Philip, looked happy, relaxed and excited to be kicking off 2014 together as a couple. Chloe’s dad first became friendly with 45-yearold Marc when he was married to singer Jennifer Lopez. Looks like that’s all a distant memory now……

Picture-perfect as she strolled along the beach, Oscarwinner Charlize Theron looked ever y inch the Hollywood star in Hawaii. But the Monster actress wasn’t alone. Also on Oahu island was Sean Penn and Charlize joined the actor and a friend on the beach after Sean had been surfing. It’s said that the pair have embarked on a romance and that Charlize was staying with him in the beachfront villa he owns. The pair flew back to Los Angeles on the same flight but were at pains not to be snapped together at the airport. The couple have been friends for years but speculation that the friendship had developed into a romance was first sparked in 2010 when they were seen having a dinner à deux. It was reported at the…

She may be a new mum, but there was no sign of any post-pregnancy pounds when The Saturdays star Rochelle Humes headed to the beach just after Christmas. The 24-year-old singer and her husband Marvin, together with their eight-month-old daughter Alaia-Mai, jetted to the Maldives for their festive break just days after Marvin and his band JLS performed their last ever concert on 22 December. The couple posted various pictures of their idyllic location on their Instagram accounts, showing they shared the childcare while making the most of the sunshine. It would appear that the festive season is something of a nostalgic time for the pair. On New Year’s Eve Rochelle tweeted: “This time 2 years ago Marvin asked me to marry him, best decision I made. Although I didn’t…

She’s never one to let an occasion to dress up pass her by, and taking to the ski slopes is just such an occasion for reality TV queen Kim Kardashian. The 33-year-old was spotted dressed in black ski trousers and a huge furtrimmed jacket, complete with wraparound shades, while on a festive skiing holiday in Park City, Utah. She was accompanied by fiancé Kanye West, who wore a full-face ski mask to disguise himself when on the slopes, taking it off for apres ski refreshments (left) with Kim’s mother Kris Jenner, sister Kourtney and Kourtney’s boyfriend Scott Disick, and the couple’s two children. While her parents were skiing, Kim and Kanye’s own six-month-old daughter North remained safe and warm inside their hotel. As she said goodbye to 2013 on New…

Flavia Cacace was dancing on air after tying the knot with partner Jimi Mistry (left). The couple, who teamed up after appearing together on Strictly Come Dancing in 2010 (far left), said “I do” in the romantic surroundings of the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London, with professional dancer Flavia calling it “the most amazing day with family and friends”. The actor’s proposal during a trip to New York last January left them both “in shock”, as Jimi revealed: “I didn’t plan on it being then, but it turned out that way.” According to Flavia, opposites attract, and the fact they are not always completely in step is what makes Jimi her perfect 10. “He’s quite a chilled person whereas I’m disciplined and hard-working,” she told HELLO!. It’s the second…

This is one love that will run and run… and swim and cycle. To celebrate their fifth anniversary, Jenson Button and his model love Jessica Michibata donned matching lycra and took part in a mini triathlon in Hawaii (left), where they had been spending the Christmas holidays. They were in a more romantic mood on the big day itself, however, with the 33-year-old racing driver posting a picture of the pair on the beach wearing matching flower garlands (right). The couple got together in 2008 and, despite a brief split three years ago, seem the perfect fit. They certainly share a love of exercise, with Jessica, 29, posting a series of pictures of them practising yoga together (below). “Perfect way to end the last day of 2013,” she tweeted, adding…

After her film debut helping her parents bake shortly before Christmas, Princess Estelle of Sweden has been showing off another new skill – skiing. The little royal, who turns two next month, took to the snow in skis for the first time during the family trip to Cervinia, in the Italian Alps, where she was helped along by her dad Prince Daniel (left). Proud aunt Princess Madeleine posted to Facebook the picture of her snow bunny niece, who looked super cute and super cool in her spotty skisuit. An electric-blue helmet and a pair of pink sunnies finished off her chic look. There was snow sign of mum Crown Princess Victoria, however. Reports said she had sprained her ankle during the trip and had been taken to Geneva for treatment.…

A great mixer with plenty of spirit – where better for Kelly Brook to see in the new year than at her new bar surrounded by friends. The model and actress toasted 2014 in Steam & Rye, the London venue she opened with business partner Nick House last year. Among those joining her was former Gladiator David McIntosh, 27, better known as Tornado (below), who travelled with Kelly, 34, from her home to the bar (right), sparking speculation about a possible romance. But it seems unlikely that falling in love was on Kelly’s list of resolutions given she has proclaimed her single status, adding: “When I’m ready to settle down I will, don’t worry. Right now I’m playing around. I’m having fun.” She certainly is. Over the festive period, the…

‘We’ve still got a lot of work to do’ There is no question that 2013 saw critics of US President Barack Obama out in force. But with his kids, Malia, 15, and Sasha, 12, in that inevitable teen phase of parental fault-finding, the President found some critics on the inside too. “Look, I’ve got three opinionated, strong, tall women and if they get together, they can have fun about my ears or being too loud or how I dress,” the President said when he and his wife Michelle sat down for an interview recently. Added Michelle helpfully: “Last night I walked in and you said, ‘Why is everybody picking on me?’” If only the genial ribbing at home was the worst of it. What follows is an edited transcript of…

Kylie Minogue is in a swanky studio in Salford’s MediaCity listening to a male singer deliver his unique version of her hit Can’t Get You out of My Head. She’s getting very emotional. “I’m hyperventilating here,” she says, spinning round in her big red chair before getting into a fierce battle with three other music stalwarts over the lucky lad. “He brought out a competitive side I didn’t know I had.” Welcome to The Voice UK for 2014, with its newlook judging panel. Kylie, 45, is the jewel in the crown. She may be a very petite, new and shiny jewel – she looks tinier than usual in the oversized chair and has to have a box to perch her feet on – but don’t for a second assume she…

As the latest season of Made in Chelsea drew to a close, all did not seem well with lovebirds Alexandra “Binky” Felstead and Alex Mytton. Alex’s reluctance to tell his friends he was in love with his new girlfriend and his refusal of her mother’s invitation to spend Christmas with them made uncomfortable viewing. But when HELLO! arrives at Pond Cottage, the stunning 17th-century East Sussex home owned by Binky’s mum Jane, there are no signs of cracks in their five-month relationship. Quite the opposite, in fact. Though he didn’t make the Christmas Day festivities at Pond Cottage, Alex did join Binky’s family on Boxing Day. “He’s such easy company,” smiles Jane, who’s whipping up breakfast when we arrive for our exclusive chat and photoshoot. “It’s like he’s another one…

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver says he has found the secret to marital harmony – let Jools, his wife of 13 years, make all the decisions. He says Jools is so good at letting him do what he wants at work, she calls the shots the rest of the time. “I work a lot Monday to Friday and get to do things my way most of the time, so the rest of my time is for Jools,” says Jamie, 38. “I let Jools lead the family. The other day, for example, she said, ‘Should we do this or this or this?’ I said, ‘Jools, I want to do whatever makes you happy. I’m so happy when you’re happy, that’s like triple value for me. And when the kids are happy, I’m…

Only a few years out of drama school, Londoner Cynthia Erivo, 26, is already making a splash in the West End. In 2011 she landed the lead role in the UK tour of Sister Act: The Musical and her portrayal of Celie in last year’s The Color Purple may yet see her scoop Best Actress at the What’s On Stage Awards. From March she can be seen at the London Palladium in I Can’t Sing, The X Factor Musical. “I really think we’ve got a good one on our hands,” she says. “It’s a really great, funny musical.” The show, which is co-produced by Simon Cowell, was written by comedian Harry Hill, who, says Cynthia, is a “gorgeous” person to work with. “He’s lovely and has been there pretty much…

Former Skins actor Sean Teale, 21, was the new boy on set for the second series of ITV’s Mr Selfridge and says landing the role was “the best feeling in the world”. “It’s worth all those moments when you didn’t get it right or lost out to the same guy again,” he says. He plays flirty waiter Franco, who he says is “quite inappropriate”. “I mean inappropriate for his time, like, ‘Ooh, I’ve seen a bit of ankle.’ That job was so much fun.” Sean’s acting career started when an agent spotted him perform in a play in his final year at London’s Latymer Upper School. He auditioned for Skins while revising for his A-levels and was told he’d got the role of Nick Levan the day before his 18th…

Scottish actress Chloe Pirrie is creating a buzz in the acting world. Last month she was named Most Promising Newcomer at the British Independent Film Awards for her role in the UK film Shell and in September made it onto Bafta’s list of Breakthrough Brits. The 26-year-old has recently finished filming BBC’s new, hotly tipped, drama The Game, which is set in the 1970s and has been described as Mad Men meets MI5. “There was a lovely feeling on set,” says Chloe, who plays secretary Wendy Straw. The costumes were “really fun” she adds. “Although the levels of wool could be quite uncomfortable. My character has quite an eclectic sense of style.” Chloe’s previous TV appearances include the satirical Channel 4 drama Black Mirror, after which she returned to her…

Renowned private members’ club Raffles drew the cream of society to a fundraising evening in aid of Youth at Risk.

Whether you want to work off some of those Christmas calories or simply shape up and boost your fitness levels, January is a great time to start a new exercise regime. However, once your initial enthusiasm wears off, exercising can seem like a chore. But it appears that three stars of BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing have the answer. They have devised a new exercise programme that not only tones muscles, increases strength and flexibility and burns up to 600 calories in 45 minutes, but is also a lot of fun. FitSteps is a dance fitness fusion class created by Strictly professionals Ian Waite and Natalie Lowe and Olympian Mark Foster, who competed in the 2008 series. “I had a great time on the show and when I realised how much…

He’s the British actor who has become Hollywood’s hard man – just so long as his mum hasn’t got her frying pan Jason Statham was a part-time model who sold watches and perfume on a stall in London’s West End around the time he met Guy Ritchie. He later landed a role in the director’s hit film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Since then, London-born Jason – who’s also a former diver, martial artist, and jack of all trades – has been hailed as the natural successor to the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. His last movie, Homefront, however, saw him show us his softer side. The 46-year-old divides his time between Britain and the US and lives with his girlfriend, actress and model Rosie…
