His life as a soldier is behind him but Prince Harry was on parade again last week to help commemorate the 75th anniversary of Explosive Ordnance Disposal. The army veteran, who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan, joined military men and women past and present and their families for an emotional service at St Paul’s Cathedral in London to mark the occasion and pay tribute to bomb disposal experts throughout the decades. He spent time with the families of those killed in action and chatted with personnel who had suffered life-changing injuries, including Captain Luke Sinnott (above) and Sappers Jack Cummings and Clive Smith (both left), all of whom lost their legs while on service in Afghanistan. “[Harry’s] always very approachable and interested in what you have to say,”…

After Michelle Keegan married The Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright (together, below) in spring, the actress is now looking forward to her first Christmas as a married woman. “We’re spending it in Manchester this year, which I’m really excited for,” Michelle, who hails from Stockport, tells HELLO!. “The past two years we’ve been in Essex and don’t get me wrong, we’ve had a great time, but I think I’m going to really enjoy waking up in my mum’s house again and opening presents at my dad’s.

The inking made its Instagram debut (above) on…

VICTORIA DERBYSHIRE TV star back at work after cancer op BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire has returned to work just a month after undergoing a mastectomy for breast cancer. The 47-year-old thanked well-wishers on her comeback to her self-titled morning news show, telling viewers that the messages of support “mean a great deal to me”. Victoria was diagnosed in July and made a video diary during her treatment that was broadcast before her return. In it she said: “More than one in three people will be diagnosed with cancer. And here’s the thing: having cancer is manageable. Having a mastectomy is totally do-able. I didn’t know that until I got cancer. And that’s what I want to tell people.” KHLOE KARDASHIAN Halts Lamar Odom divorce US reality star Khloé Kardashian last…

If you have ever claimed you are just too busy to get fit, cannot afford a gym membership or don’t have the stamina, fitness levels or equipment to exercise, then those excuses won’t wash any more. Because an extensive study has just proved that 20 minutes a day is all it takes to make a real difference to your long-term health – and the only thing you need is a pair of comfortable walking shoes. The Cambridge University study analysed data collected from more than 334,000 Europeans over a 12-year period, and found that 20 minutes of brisk walking a day reduced the risk of premature death by up to 30 per cent. The researchers estimated that while obesity (having a BMI greater than 30) was responsible for 337,000 of…

Ever since announcing his “conscious uncoupling” from wife Gwyneth Paltrow in March last year, Chris Martin has kept his love life under wraps. But things seem to have changed now that he is dating British actress Annabelle Wallis. Going public with their relationship during a weekend in Paris, the pair embraced on the street, held hands and even broke into a comedy dance routine as they walked through the historic heart of the City of Light. “They looked very much in love,” one onlooker said. “They were laughing and kissing all the time.” After leaving Paris, Chris and Annabelle flew to London, where the Coldplay frontman presented a prize to Noel Gallagher at the Q Awards. The couple were next spotted arriving at Los Angeles airport last Wednesday – Chris…

There was nothing half-baked about Geri Horner’s latest fundraising venture. Known for being Spicy, the singer let her sweet side show to help Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Geri is a patron of Breast Cancer Care and has been a supporter of the charity since finding a benign lump in her breast as a teenager. Rolling up her sleeves and donning an apron, the keen cook greeted surprised customers at the Primrose Bakery in Kensington to sell a batch of limited-edition cupcakes (left), which she’d designed and baked herself. She was joined by her nine-year-old daughter Bluebell (above, far right, with Geri and two young customers), who gave her the seal of approval by tucking into the confections, which featured buttercream topping and pink-and-green roses.

When your father is the driving force of Formula 1, there is no way you are going to let a milestone birthday pass without making it one to remember. So loving daughter Tamara Ecclestone transformed her London home into a Swiss chalet – complete with fake snow and Alpine-themed decorations – to help dad Bernie celebrate turning 85. The makeover was inspired by the family’s £23million property in the ski resort of Gstaad, Switzerland, and involved covering the exterior of her mansion with wood panelling (above). Clearly delighted with her winter wonderland pop-up, Tamara posted a flurry of photographs on Instagram of the bash. “Celebrating a special man last night,” she wrote alongside one. Another post showed her father cutting a cake decorated with images of his face, while younger…

Singer Rita Ora showed How We Do (Party) in her native Kosovo. The 24-year-old X Factor judge helped ensure cousin Filiz Salihu and his bride Arlit Kastrati’s big day was extra special by flying in from the UK for the reception. She was rewarded with an “amazing” night at the lavish bash, which was held at a hotel in Pristina. After being greeted warmly by family and friends, Rita threw herself into the fun, dancing on a table (above right), drinking champagne and congratulating Arlit with a big hug (right). “So amazing to go home and see one of my best friends get married!!!” she tweeted, with a touching picture of the newlyweds. “Love you both congratulations,” she added. The chance to let her hair down at the wedding came…

And babies do what they want, which is a challenge’ Suffragette star Carey Mulligan (left) elects to take on a new role as a working mum ‘I am not some over-the-top Mr Ego. At home, I am just David, and he’s sensitive, emotional, a gentleman’ Ex-Baywatch star David Hasselhoff doesn’t like to make waves away from the cameras ‘I do not wake up at 6am to go to the gym.

Former Labour MP David Miliband has been mixing in glamorous circles since his move to the US. Last week he was seen dining with Hollywood’s most dazzling power couple, George and Amal Clooney. The trio were spotted outside restaurant Palm in Beverly Hills, with human rights barrister Amal keeping her cool in a stunning white dress with button detail at the back, adding a pop of colour with a Dolce & Gabbana handbag. David, who lost out in the Labour leadership race to his brother Ed in 2010, now heads humanitarian venture the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and clearly had much to share with Amal and George, who has worked with the IRC on relief projects in Darfur and South Sudan.…

First Ladies often find themselves scrutinised more than their husbands and last week’s state visit to the UK by Chinese President Xi was no exception. His wife Peng Liyuan, who is the most famous singer in China, scored highly in the style stakes during the couple’s four-day trip, attending functions and events in a series of timelessly elegant outfits, many featuring a nipped-in jacket and Mandarin collar. Her most eye-catching look was the floor-length, midnight-blue silk coat dress with tiny buttons, three-quarter-length sleeves and a stand-up collar she wore for the state banquet, accessorised with a diamond brooch and white belt. A supporter of home-grown designers, Peng also observes her country’s heritage and culture in her choice of outfits. For example, while the tailored skirt suit with pearl embroidered pockets…

Her return to the recording studio was a long time coming, but that hasn’t dampened the appetite for Adele’s new album 25 and the first single released from it, Hello . The singer came to prominence in 2008, when her debut album 19 , titled to reflect her age, was released. She was catapulted to worldwide fame in 2011 after her next release, 21, became the biggest-selling album of the century so far. Little wonder, then, that she caused another frenzy last week, when snippets of Hello were trailed during an advert break in The X Factor before its release last Friday. She caused an even bigger stir when she arrived at the London studio of the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show, giving its host Nick Grimshaw the chance to…

Despite her busy workload, it seems romance has Kylie spinning around again, with the pop princess and actor Joshua Sasse enjoying another date. The couple were spotted hand in hand in London, where they had been to see the West End production of Gypsy the Musical, and made a striking pair – Kylie sporting a midnight blue gown and her dapper beau in smoking jacket, bow tie and brogues. Kylie was first seen with Joshua last month, when the pair took a late-night stroll around the capital following a dinner date. They had met a couple of weeks earlier in Bristol, on the set of the US TV series Galavant, a fairytale-themed musical comedy that stars Joshua and features Kylie in a guest role next year. London-born Joshua, who in…

LIZZY AND GEORGIA MAY JAGGER With Rolling Stone Sir Mick as their father and former supermodel Jerry Hall as their mother, Lizzy and Georgia May Jagger certainly lucked out in the genes department, inheriting their dad’s famous pout and their mum’s long legs – the perfect combination in the modelling world. Lizzy, 31, made her modelling debut aged just 14, when she walked a Thierry Mugler catwalk with her mum. She’s since appeared in campaigns for Lancôme, Mango and Austrian lingerie brand Skiny. Georgia May, 23, has also been modelling since her teens, for brands including Chanel, H&M, Hudson Jeans, Miu Miu, Mulberry, Versace, Vivienne Westwood and Rimmel. But modelling wasn’t her first career choice. “Because my mum and sister are both models I thought I would do something different…

Always a hotshot in the royal fashion stakes, the Countess of Wessex made camouflage look chic on a day out in Germany. Sophie was on duty at Alanbrooke Barracks in Paderborn for the annual Countess of Wessex Cup tournament, with teams from RAF Wittering, HMS Daring , the Corps of Army Music and 5th Battalion The Rifles in action. Their challenges, which saw The Rifles emerge victorious, may have been an inspiration to Sophie, who last week teased she had a new assignment ahead of her, which was “going to be very physically demanding”. If the Countess needs an ear to discuss any worries about the mystery event, she can always rely on her mother-in-law the Queen. “She’s a great listener,” said Sophie. “And you see her considering what people…

Champion baker Nadiya Hussain found herself in a room jam-packed with inspirational people at this year’s Women of the Year awards lunch in London – and the Great British Bake Off star easily rose to the occasion, despite calling the experience “very surreal”. At the ceremony to present an award to charity worker Cokie van der Velde, Nadiya chatted to a variety of famous people, including actress Nicole Kidman, who is currently appearing in the West End play Photograph 51 . “This time last year I was at home not doing anything and now I’m having lunch with Nicole Kidman,” said the Bake Off winner. Sharing a red-carpet moment together (right), the pair appeared to be getting on flantastically. For Nadiya, however, the icing on the cake was being reunited…

Being on holiday doesn’t mean taking a break from your fitness regime – at least, not if you’re David and Victoria Beckham. Enjoying a half-term visit to Los Angeles with their four children, the couple (pictured left) made time for one of their favourite fitness fixes – SoulCycle in Brentwood. David and Victoria remain wheely keen on the cycling workout, despite now being based in the UK. “I’m very obsessed. It’s a workout I love,” David has said. It could all be working out on the property front, too, with reports the family is planning a new purchase in the Cotswolds. Already owners of homes in London and Beverly Hills, the couple were last week reported to have been hunting for the perfect rural retreat in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. One…

Days after former Paralympics and Olympics runner Oscar Pistorius was released from prison only one year into his five-year sentence for shooting his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, Reeva’s mother has said she has “no feelings of revenge” against him. The South African sprinter, 28, was found guilty of manslaughter, having been cleared of murder at a court case last year in Pretoria and was released last week to house arrest. His 29-year-old girlfriend had been shot three times through a toilet door after Oscar mistook her, he told the court, for an intruder. Reeva’s mother June spoke to her daughter’s old school just days after Oscar’s release, delivering a speech Reeva had planned to give herself. “Go home and tell your parents, your siblings and your neighbours that they are appreciated…

Super spy James Bond is used to living life in the shadows and actor Daniel Craig was stylishly understated compared to his glamorous co-stars at a London photocall for new 007 film Spectre last Thursday. Daniel opted for a crisp white shirt and jeans for the event while his three leading ladies wowed in sophisticated ensembles. Italian actress Monica Bellucci led the pack in a silk pink shirt and wide trousers, French star Léa Seydoux chose a teal trouser suit and British beauty Naomie Harris wore a fun orange colour-block mini. Daniel is keeping us guessing about whether he’ll renew his character’s licence to kill – but he definitely won’t be playing the Milk Tray Man instead. “I went up for the gig and didn’t get…

Scotland was where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge fell in love and last week they made a romantic return to their old university town ahead of their first official visit to Dundee. William and Kate spent a night at an exclusive golf resort in St Andrews, the town where they met as students and shared a modest house with fellow undergraduates. They returned to their old haunt as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn – as they are known in Scotland – and chose to stay at the Old Course Hotel, a five-star resort and spa, before a day of engagements in Dundee. A spokesman for the couple said: “Their Royal Highnesses first met while students at the nearby University of St Andrews and are delighted to be visiting…

It is one of the hottest labels in fashion and a favourite of reality TV star Kim Kardashian, so it was no surprise that the world’s most in-demand models joined last week’s launch of Balmain’s collaboration with high-street chain H&M. Catwalk queens including Kim’s sister Kendall Jenner – who opened the show – Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and Alessandra Ambrosio all appeared on the runway to show off the Balmain x H&M collection before joining a star-studded afterparty in New York. Taking it all in from the wings was Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing, the man credited with reviving the fortunes of the French fashion house since taking over the reins in 2011. “My designs are really couture, really French and really luxury,” said Olivier, 30, last week of his…

Gino D’Acampo, the effervescent star chef from ITV’s This Morning and a former King of the Jungle, is uncharacteristically nervous. It has nothing to do with his latest culinary jaunt around the islands of Sardinia and Sicily for his latest TV series, but travels closer to home that are preying on his mind – his first roadshow. “I’m super excited but, yes, I am a little bit nervous,” he tells me of his debut one-man show, which kicks off on 29 October in Bath a week before Italian Escape: Islands in the Sun starts a six-week run on ITV. “But I am confident that after a couple of pints of Guinness I will be fine.
