It is very appropriate that Katherine Jenkins’s new album is all about coming home, because the award-winning singer could not be feeling happier and more settled. During our exclusive photoshoot with the 34-year-old mezzo-soprano in the stunning surroundings of Margam Country Park in South Wales, just a stone’s throw from where she grew up, she is trying to stop herself crying as she talks about her wedding day. Life has changed completely for her and, she says, in every way for the better. Tears well up as she describes the “most wonderful day” of her life, when she married the Los Angeles-based film-maker and artist Andrew Levitas. The couple – who met less than a year before they married – spent the day with just their families and closest friends…

There was only one woman in the life of Sherlock Holmes and from now on, there’s only Sophie Hunter (far left) for actor Benedict Cumberbatch (left). The couple announced last week that they were engaged and fans of the Sherlock star didn’t need powers of deduction to work it out – they merely had to read the advert in the Times (below right). The news was confirmed by Benedict’s agent, while Sophie’s mum Katharine said: “We are very happy for them. It’s a fabulous day.” Benedict, 38, is believed to have been dating the 36-year-old actress and theatre director since the spring. They were seen together at the French Open tennis in June (above) but when asked recently about love and where he saw himself in 30 years’ time, Benedict…

Currently appearing at cinemas in Interstellar, Sir Michael Caine brought star power to the private viewing of a new art exhibition. Easily assuming the role of supporting actor, the 81-year-old screen legend attended the preview party of Kaleido, the first solo exhibition by his friend Adam Bricusse (together left). Sir Michael joined art-lovers at London gallery Lights of Soho to admire the paintings, which draw upon characters from classical and contemporary culture – and there was no shortage of the latter as also enjoying a brush with the painter’s works were Lady Caine and Joan Collins, who spent time chatting with Adam’s parents Leslie and Yvonne (below, with Sir Michael). An Oscar-winning composer and lyricist, Leslie wrote the lyrics to the classic James Bond theme song Goldfinger with Joan’s former…

It’s been an eventful year for Denise Van Outen. As well as turning 40, the actress and TV presenter performed her own one-woman show to rave reviews in London’s West End and finally emerged from the emotional storm of her marriage break-up. So the chance to unwind and relax for a week on a glorious island in the Maldives was one she didn’t want to miss. “It’s like a piece of paradise in the middle of the Indian Ocean,” says Denise, taking a break from the beach at the Kandolhu resort to talk to HELLO! . “I’ve been to the Maldives a couple of times before and know that you’re going to completely relax and mentally switch off. “I’m already thinking about coming back here next year because there’s such…

Claudia Winkleman’s eight-year-old daughter Matilda is recovering in hospital after suffering severe burns when her Halloween costume caught fire. Claudia, who was replaced on Strictly Come Dancing by It Takes Two presenter Zoe Ball when she pulled out of filming to be by her daughter’s side, is understood to be taking time out of the show indefinitely. The presenter later released a statement with her husband Kris. “She is having the best care possible and we are hopeful of a full recovery. We would like to thank everyone that has been so supportive and particularly the NHS doctors, nurses and staff who have been absolutely incredible,” it read. Claudia, 43, also mum to Jake, 11, and three-year-old Arthur, is understood to have…

The Christmas countdown has clearly begun for Pippa Middleton, who was spotted at Jackson Hole airport in Wyoming last week with a grizzly bear peeking out of her shopping bag. Chances are the cuddly toy is for her nephew Prince George, who has already shown a penchant for stuffed animals – especially during the royal tour Down Under earlier this year when he came face to face with a giant plush wombat. But what else could the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – and all their family and friends – get with 25 December fast approaching? If relatives are hoping to be on trend, the must-have toy for toddlers this Christmas is the Xeno, billed as an interactive Baby Monster. Or perhaps Monty the Penguin, star of the latest festive…

Gemma Arterton had plenty of reason to smile as her new musical Made in Dagenham launched in London’s West End last week to rave reviews. But the one-time Bond Girl was fighting back tears at the opening night curtain call in front of a star-studded audience that included former Spice Girl Melanie Chisholm and comics David Walliams and Russell Brand. The musical, based on the 2010 film of the same name, was written by One Man, Two Guv’nors author Richard Bean and Gemma, 28, stars as factory worker Rita O’Grady, the woman who led the 1968 strike at the Ford Dagenham car plant that paved the way for the Equal Pay Act two years later. Joined on stage at the Adelphi Theatre by four of the sewing machinists involved in…

Her great friend Christopher Biggins promised that it would be the “Royal Variety of funerals” and he wasn’t wrong. When Lynda Bellingham was buried last Monday in Crewkerne, Somerset, the church was reverberating to the sound of Ethel Merman singing There’s No Business Like Show Business while fireworks added colour to the autum sky. Make no mistake: the much-loved Ms Bellingham certainly went out with a bang. Then there were the tributes. Almost everyone she’d ever worked with was there to sing the praises of one of our most popular actresses. Under the guidance of Peter Delaney, the former Archbishop of London – who had married Lynda and her third husband Michael Pattemore on her 60th birthday, 31 May 2008 – a succession of Britain’s leading lights from the worlds…

Scorpio 24 OCT – 22 NOV Some people are easily upset. As soon as you tell them something, they have a reaction. In the end, it gets easier not to tell them anything. Months, even years, can go by with two individuals failing to communicate. This week is all about saying what needs to be said. It’s not necessarily you who has to do all the talking – you may also need to do some of the listening. Mars and Pluto make that possible. Uncertain? I’ve recorded a special message for you. Call 0906-751 8080. Sagittarius 23 NOV – 21 DEC It’s not that you need to dredge up every detail of some recent contentious debate. More that it’s high time a pretence was acknowledged. Nobody wants to say what…

With the good looks of his dad David and the fashion nous of his mum Victoria, Romeo Beckham proved he is a natural on the red carpet at the premiere last week of Burberry’s Christmas campaign, in which he stars. Wearing a smart black tuxedo, Burberry scarf, his trademark quiff and a sweet smile, he charmed the crowds and photographers as he posed for pictures outside the label’s flagship store on Regent Street before the launch of its From London With Love campaign. Then again, the 12-year-old is no stranger to modelling – he first appeared in a Burberry campaign when he was just ten and was invited back for his second by its chief creative officer Christopher Bailey. “It continues to be an utter joy working with Romeo,” said…

There was nothing sombre(ro) about the Prince of Wales’s trip to Colombia and Mexico. In fact, Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall seemed to think their nine-day visit was dead good fun. In a first for senior royals, the official tour kicked off in Colombia, where the itinerary included such golden moments as visiting the Museo del Oro in Cartagena. As they moved to Mexico, the Prince seemed to be flagging but, in fact, he was gamely joining in the hanky waving of the traditional Sarao dancers in Campeche (left) and while not Strictly Ballroom, his Latin efforts scored highly with locals. Meanwhile, Camilla made a colourful impression herself posing with her husband by a Diego Rivera mural in Mexico City’s San Ildefonso museum. Celebrations were just…

He is one of the world’s bestselling rock stars, but for the past decade Bryan Adams has been enjoying an acclaimed second career as a photographer – and now he has used his talent behind the lens to honour injured war heroes. Across four years, the (Everything I Do) I Do It For You singer captured images of young British servicemen and women who had suffered life-changing injuries on duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. And now Bryan is paying tribute to them by putting his work on display for the first time in the exhibition Wounded: The Legacy of War . “It took a lot of coordination,” 55-year-old Bryan tells HELLO! in a rare interview at his warehouse-style London home in Chelsea. “As you can imagine, it was hard to…

Tourists Peru-sing the capital can bearly believe their eyes – the streets have been taken over by a station-full of Paddington Bears (below far right), each wearing an outfit designed by a celebrity. The statues of the furiendly explorer – which are being dotted around London for the Paddington Trail – were unveiled by actor Hugh Bonneville (below), who stars in the forthcoming film version of Paddington. They’ll be on display for two months then auctioned off to raise funds for the NSPCC. Celebrities who got their claws into the challenge of designing a new outfit for Paddington include Benedict Cumberbatch, whose Sherlock Holmes choice was elementary (right) and David Beckham, who flew the flag for the Peruvian’s adopted home country of England (below far left). Hugh himself put aside…

He is in pole position to win this year’s Formula 1 drivers’ championship after a run of five consecutive Grand Prix victories in Italy, Singapore, Japan, Russia and the US saw Lewis Hamilton overtake his rivals. With everything riding on the final race, in Abu Dhabi on 23 November, things are looking good for the 29-year-old, who beat ex-world champ Nigel Mansell’s British record of 31 wins when he roared to victory in Texas earlier this month. Taking time out of his busy schedule, the Mercedes driver and brand ambassador for IWC Schaffhausen watches happily talked to HELLO! while he was in Moscow. to tell us about lucky charms, the secret to his success and how he and “passionate” girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger keep their seven-year romance ticking over. He even…

Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville denies the hit show’s dog was killed off because it was called Isis, like the Islamic State militant group ‘I am conscious of what I do for a living, and that [could] make it less possible’ Actress Angelina Jolie fears a career…

The sight of any mother cradling her newborn warms the heart but there is something truly moving about watching Christina Schmid tenderly comforting her beautiful baby girl. Just four weeks old, Isabelle Rose has brought renewed joy to her mother’s life at a time of year when the 39-year-old usually struggles with feelings of sadness and loss. The little girl arrived on 20 October – 11 days before the fifth anniversary of the death of Christina’s war hero husband Staff Sergeant Olaf “Oz” Schmid, who was killed defusing a Taliban bomb in Afghanistan the day before he was due to fly home to Christina and five-year-old Laird, her son from a previous relationship who Oz was raising as his own. “Anniversaries are tough,” says Christina as she introduces HELLO! to…

She’s long been known as the ‘First Lady of Football’, but now high-flying businesswoman Karren Brady has a much grander title – Baroness Brady of Knightsbridge. Standing by her side at the House of Lords for the West Ham United vice-chairman’s ceremony of introduction last week as she was appointed a Conservative peer was her Apprentice co-star Lord Sugar. He escorted her into the chamber for her ennoblement and led her out again at the end of the ceremony, to the cheers of the rest of the House. When we met the new Baroness just ahead of her big day, Karren explained to HELLO! : “Alan will be walking me in as if he’s giving me away. We’re going to get there early for a run-through and he’ll show me…

A FINE LINE… Bear in mind that Chicago is known as the Windy City, and highwire daredevil Nik Wallenda’s record-breaking stunts across its skyline become even more hair-raising. The 35-year-old from Florida last week blindfolded himself to feel his way from the top of one skyscraper to another in just 1:17 minutes. This trumped a feat just moments earlier, where he walked the length of two city blocks across the Chicago River at a 19º incline. Naturally, Nik has his own slant on it all: “You guys watching think I’m crazy, but this is what I’m made for.”…

THE CHIC OF ARABY With its “hippy chic” dress code and Arabian Nights setting, a gala concert dinner in Dubai had fashion’s leading lights getting into the groove. The glitzy fundraiser, held at Armani Hotel Dubai, was hosted by Franca Sozzani, Italian Vogue’s editor-in-chief and a global ambassador against hunger for the World Food Programme. Among the live music acts were sets from Annie Lennox’s daughter Lola and singing sensation Ciara. More than £600,000 was raised. A GEM OF A GATHERING Stylish Londoners headed to Albemarle Street in Mayfair for a drinks party thrown to celebrate the opening of the Gismondi Jewellery flagship boutique. The glamorous crowd, which included TV presenter Tania Bryer, party guru Yasmin Mills and actress Sienna Guillory, drank champagne as they admired the jewellery on display.…

The wait is over for the 3 million fans of BBC2 thriller The Fall as Gillian Anderson’s DSI Stella Gibson returns hot on the trail of Jamie Dornan’s Paul Spector – father of two and bereavement counsellor by day, serial killer by night. The second series begins with Paul holed up in Scotland away from his native Belfast, where his family are, but as always there’s the looming threat of more murders. Jamie – soon to be seen in the big-screen adaptation of bestseller Fifty Shades of Grey – says: “I do carry elements of him with me in a worrying way.” But that doesn’t mean he’s started to think like his alter ego. “I wouldn’t take it that far,” the 32-year-old told me at a recent Bafta screening of…

This year, she’s got married, made a triumphant return to the X Factor judging panel and hit the top of the single charts. But that wasn’t the reason Cheryl Fernandez-Versini had a certain glow during her appearance in London’s Oxford Street last week. She also had a little help from 1,778 lightbulbs. Joined by radio presenters Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon (below right, with Cheryl), the I Don’t Care star helped brighten the days of shoppers by switching on the Christmas lights in the capital’s most famous street, starting the official countdown to the big day.

After chatting to the likes of fellow authors Robert Lacey and Frederick Forsyth (right), the Princess – who was suffering from a heavy cold – gave a speech thanking her guests for their support.

Leading the mourners were the designer’s widow, Annette, and his adopted son, Moises.

Keira Knightley is having a blast. She’s happily married to musician James Righton, she’s doing some of the best work of her career and she’s at ease with what she wants out of life. “It’s a very good time for me,” says the 29-year-old actress, who lives in London with her husband (whose band, Klaxons, announced their split last month). “You become successful and you want to take every opportunity you can.
