As one of our greatest ever interviewers, Sir David Frost learnt to mingle easily in the worlds of royalty and showbusiness. So it was only fitting that an astonishing array of celebrities, politicians and royals came out to pay tribute to the legendary broadcaster at a memorial service in London last week. Everyone from Pippa Middleton and Jemima Khan to the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, the Duke of York, his former wife Sarah, Duchess of York and Princess Beatrice attended the moving service at Westminster Abbey for Sir David, who died last August at the age of 74 after suffering a heart attack while on a cruise ship. Pippa, who arrived with Ben Fogle and his wife Marina, looked smart in a navy coat and matching shoes…

Classical singer Katherine Jenkins had a very noteworthy date last week – an appointment at Buckingham Palace to pick up her OBE. Receiving the honour from the Prince of Wales for services to music and charity work, the Welsh mezzo-soprano said she was “incredibly humbled” by the experience. Katherine, 33, arrived at the Palace with her boyfriend, US academic Andrew Levitas, who looked pleased and proud on what was their first public appearance as a couple. En route to the ceremony, Katherine could not resist sharing her excitement via Twitter. As well as revealing the details of her colourful outfit (“Keeping it all British – dress by Preen. Hat by the truly amazing Philip Treacy & purse by Anya Hindmarch”), she also posted a YouTube video, in which she confessed…

Intrepid adventurer Ben Fogle couldn’t have chosen a more fitting venue in which to announce his latest challenge – Mayfair bar Mr Fogg’s, named after Phileas Fogg, hero of the Jules Verne novel Around the World in Eighty Days. In his new role as Worldwide Touring Ambassador for Virgin Holidays and Bales Worldwide, the TV presenter is determined to take us out of our comfort zones. “We presume adventure means leaping off mountains and bungee jumping,” he said. “But in my world, adventure means doing something out of the norm, taking yourself out of your normal comfort zone.” In a first, he intends to do some of his adventuring with his wife Marina and their children – Ludo, four, and Iona, two. Talking exclusively to HELLO!, Ben said: “Travel is…

She was one of the most fragrant members of the Pussycat Dolls and now sweet-smelling Ashley Roberts has just launched her first perfume, Ashley by Ashley Roberts. Containing ingredients such as orange blossom, rose honey, ylangylang, patchouli and amber accord, the summery scent is presented in a bottle covered in an image that carries special meaning to the 32-year-old singer: a vibrant pattern of brightly coloured butterflies. “They always seem to flutter around me at times in my life when I’ve been going through a crisis,” she tells HELLO!. “I adore butterflies and feel really connected to them. When they’re around me, I immediately feel that everything is going to be fine.” Ashley certainly went through a low point four years ago, when she faced a double heartbreak of the…

After being hailed queen of Saturday night TV with The Voice , Kylie is on track to rule in the music charts as well. Going back to her day job as the ultimate disco diva, her album Kiss Me Once has already rocketed to No. 1 in her native Australia and is likely to make a similar mark in the UK when it is released this week. The past year has seen a period of upheaval in her life, splitting from longterm love Andrés Velencoso as well as her manager of 25 years, Terry Blamey. But never one to stand still for long, career-driven Kylie already had a deal with Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label in the pipeline and moved to Los Angeles to record the new album, which she hopes…

Mr Selfridge star Katherine Kelly was one of three celebrities to become first-time mums last week. The actress and her husband Ryan Clark (together, above left) welcomed daughter Orla Rae. “She is a joy already. We are cherishing every moment,” she told HELLO!. The new arrival comes seven months after the pair wed in Las Vegas. TV presenter and charity campaigner Katie Piper (above centre) is celebrating the arrival of a daughter. “I am so overwhelmed with happiness,” Katie told HELLO! after welcoming 7lb 1oz Belle Elizabeth, with her carpenter boyfriend James, by Caesarean. “I can’t stop looking at her, she’s just beautiful. After all the operations I’ve had, this one has given me my daughter – it’s just the most special feeling in the world.” McFly star Tom Fletcher…

In all the excitement of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s forthcoming trip to Australia and New Zealand, one important aspect of the tour has almost been overlooked – the many acts of remembrance the couple will pay to the dead of the First and Second World Wars. Indeed, one of their first appearances in New Zealand will be at a wreath-laying ceremony at Blenheim, alongside veterans from 1939-45. They’ll also visit – appropriately enough – the town of Cambridge, to pay their respects to the men who died fighting in the French village of Le Quesnoy, Cambridge’s twin town. It was in Le Quesnoy that New Zealand troops saw their last major action of the war in November 1918. In addition, the couple will plant a tree at the…

Artfully camouflaged beneath an extremely low-cut lacy Giorgio Armani Privé top, Scarlett Johansson’s baby bump makes its red-carpet debut at the Hollywood premiere of Scarlett’s brand-new action flick, Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The event marked Scarlett’s first public outing since news of her pregnancy broke, although the 29-year-old has yet to officially confirm that she and her fiancé, French journalist Romain Dauriac, are expecting their first child. But Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige appeared to confirm Scarlett’s pregnancy in an interview in which he confessed that when he was told the news, his “first reaction was I was very happy and very excited for her”.…

It’s reasonable to say that George Michael has had his fair share of highs and lows, but when HELLO! chats with the London-born singer for this exclusive interview, it’s clear that he’s back on top form – something he credits to his supporters. “I’ve always known that I have incredibly loyal and amazing fans and they’ve never let me down,” he says, ahead of the release of his new album, Symphonica , his first in a decade. “You know, when I perform, I can sort of feel from their energy that my audience are very kind people – they have good hearts.” After his well-documented troubles over the past few years – which include a life-threatening bout of pneumonia in 2011 that interrupted his sell-out European Symphonica tour – things…

LIKE IT OR LAMP IT! The British winter is not as bad as some, but for these comical-looking meerkats at West Midland Safari Park, it’s time to hog the heater. In their natural desert habitat, meerkats rely on their burrows to help them avoid extremes of both hot and cold. “During the hot weather they stay inside their burrows during the day. In winter they wake up early in the morning and sun themselves,” explains meerkat expert Professor Tim Clutton-Brock from Cambridge University. COLD COMFORT S’now joke living in the Russian village of Oymyakon, where winter temperatures average -50ºC and -71.2ºC has been recorded. The coldest settlement in the world, Oymyakon was once the Siberian equivalent of an oasis, where reindeer herders would stop to water their animals at the…

Bretta Russell and Andrew Espin Andrew’s feet scarcely touched the ground as he and Bretta toasted their vows with gluhwein at The Range in Tokai, Cape Town! Michelle Fine and Paul Pearce Michelle and Paul snapped on skis after an intimate service in Val Gardena and raced down the Dolomites for the après ski party.

Convicted murderer Malcolm Webster’s real-life crimes are writ large in three-part drama The Widower. Actor Reece Shearsmith – better known for comic turns in The League of Gentlemen and Inside No. 9 – takes on the role of the man who over 13 years poisoned and murdered his first wife and attempted to do the same to his second. “It was a really big part for me,” says Reece, who is joined in the show by Sheridan Smith (above, with Reece) as Malcolm’s first wife Claire. “It was also quite scary. I thought, ‘God, do I really want to be in that world?’ It’s a horrible thing to take on. But I couldn’t not try. “I felt I needed to capture the spirit of Malcolm – I’m not trying to…

The spring sunshine was as bright as the Queen’s smile as she and the Duke of Edinburgh arrived at Westminster Abbey for the annual Observance of Commonwealth Day service (left). Beaming just as broadly was her 92-year-old husband, who looked dapper in a smart navy blue suit. They were joined by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, as well as the Earl and Countess of Wessex (together, below right). While Sophie, 49, looked elegant in a cream outfit topped off with a bespoke tear-shaped hat by royal millinery favourite Jane Taylor, Prince Edward accessorised his dark suit with a broad grin – his happy mood no doubt helped by the fact he was also celebrating his 50th birthday. Before the service, the Queen unfurled a banner outside…

It was where they met and where they got engaged, so it’s perhaps no surprise that Dubai holds a special place in the hearts of Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan, who have returned to the United Arab Emirates holiday hotspot for a sun-kissed beach break. The photogenic pair looked more in love than ever as they strolled along golden sands (far left). Former reality TV star Mark, 27, showed off the physique that made him such a heart-throb in the early days of The Only Way is Essex, looking magic in black shorts and a matching T-shirt. Proving that walking the cobbles has helped her figure as well as her career, Coronation Street actress Michelle, 26, displayed her perfect pins and model-like frame in a colourful short playsuit. Mark posted…

When Olympic gold medallist Jessica Ennis-Hill toured the new Commonwealth Games athletics stadium in Glasgow last week, she told how she’d love to be part of this summer’s sporting event. But while she won’t be adding to her trophy cabinet this time, the newlywed heptathlete will be gaining something even better – her first baby, due in July. Golden girl Jessica joined Scottish 400m hurdler Eilidh Child (together, above) to unveil the new stadium. Showing off the first hints of a baby bump (left), she told reporters: “I’ve got a very different year ahead of me and I’m very excited for the arrival of our little one.” The 28-year-old, who tied the knot with Andy Hill in Derbyshire last May (right), said she’s “finding pregnancy good so far” when she…

The opening of Karl Lagerfeld’s first London store was always going to be an event and helping making it even more fashion fabulous were three of the UK’s most in-demand models. Cara Delevingne, Amber Le Bon and Suki Waterhouse (together, far left) were among the guests celebrating at the German design legend’s new Regent Street emporium. They later joined him for dinner at Harrods to mark the launch of his signature fragrance line – or, as he calls it, “fashion for the nose”. Karl (left) arrived by special “Karl Kab”, having first amped up the anticipation on Twitter by asking: “Are you ready London?” Answering with a resounding “Yes” were Pixie Lott and her boyfriend Oliver Cheshire (right), David Gandy and Princess Beatrice, who later went to dinner with her…

Although their flight was delayed by fog over London, the grey skies were quickly brightened after King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium enjoyed a lunch date with the Queen at Buckingham Palace (left). The royal couple’s one-day trip was their first official visit to the UK since Philippe, 53, ascended the throne last July, following the abdication of his father King Albert, 79, on the grounds of ill health. In 2008, Mathilde, 44, was named by Vanity Fair as one of the world’s best-dressed women and for her date at the Palace she was a picture of elegance in a black-and-white ensemble paired with matching heels. Having lunched with the Queen as well as the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent, the Belgian royals were…

Kylie Minogue has every reason to smile after an extraordinary reincarnation as a coach on The Voice . Viewing figures for the BBC1 Saturday night show have soared by two million and now she says she just wants to win. The pressure is on, but Kylie has never been so thrilled. “I am so competitive and I am in this to win this,” the 45-year-old singer grins. “I want to show those guys exactly what I’m made of. I feel like an expectant mother and very, very excited.” We are meeting the Australian pop princess on the set of the hit show, joined by the three finalists in Team Kylie: Northern Irish schoolgirl Rachael O’Connor, 17; cheeky Kent lad Jamie Johnson, 19; and rocker Lee Glasson, 31, from Coventry. Surrounded…

‘Surprise Surprise (and it was a surprise!!) I’m really happy and excited to tell you that Dan and I are expecting baby number 3!!’ This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby (left) delivers baby news on her website ‘I’m not a nudist by nature’ Under the Skin actress Scarlett Johansson on why there’s more to life than the bare necessities ‘I don’t go and live in the slum where my character lived for three months before filming in order to get a feel for him. I am far too lazy’ There’s madness in the method for actor Rupert Penry Jones ‘I would sooner poke my eye out with a needle than learn how to make a patchwork quilt. It’s the kind of thing you do in prison’ Seams like Paul O’Grady is…

The look in Cressida Bonas’s eyes spoke volumes as she gazed at Prince Harry sitting next to her at the England v Wales Six Nations rugby union match at Twickenham. In that moment, after trying to keep their romance under wraps for nearly two years, ducking and diving to avoid photographers, the girl endearingly known as Cressy silently told the world that she and her Prince Charming are in love. “They cosied up together with Cressida looking adoringly at her Prince while he grinned non-stop,” said a spectator seated nearby. “They just looked blissfully happy.” This was the second time in three days that the loved-up pair had gone public with their relationship with an open display of undisguised affection. Significantly, the first occasion was an official engagement, when Prince…

Elegant twirls and being flipped upside down were all part and parcel of her time on Strictly Come Dancing , but Sophie Ellis-Bextor took these moves to new heights on a zero-gravity flight. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime thing to do. I can’t really compare it to anything I’ve done before. It felt really lovely. Quite addictive,” says Sophie of her recent voyage into the skies from a space exploration centre in Houston, Texas to promote low-fat crisps Walkers Pops. But moving in zero gravity wasn’t as easy as she expected. “I thought it would be a bit like swimming under water,” she says. “But it’s a lot more serene and incredibly passive, so you can’t be so directional. When I was having my picture taken, they kept on having to…

Applied to a freshly cleansed face, beauty waters give your skin a super surge of hyaluronic acid hydration that’s then trapped in place by the serum and moisturiser you put on top of them. And the results are crystal clear, with plumper, more radiant skin and long-term hydration with no sticky residue. Little wonder that they are making such waves in the beauty business.…

Zoë Ball promises to bring her trademark mischief from Strictly Come Dancing sister show It Takes Two to The Voice spin-off Louder on Two – as she reveals that her own family ridicules her taste in music. “I got told off for attempting to rap on the way to school this morning,” says the 43-year-old mum of Woody, 13, and four-year-old Nelly, her children with husband of almost 15 years, DJ Norman Cook. “They were like, ‘Mum, you are too old,’ and they have a point, but they seem to know the words to everything. Woody’s into the Arctic Monkeys, Nelly’s into Katy Perry and she’s only four, which is quite disturbing!” As host of the new weekday show Zoë is being let loose behind the scenes of BBC1’s Saturday…

After being crowned king of the jungle when he won I’m a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here! in December, it wasn’t long before Kian Egan began thinking about recording a solo album. In fact, there was an offer on the table before he’d even touched down in the UK. “I landed in Dubai on the way home from Australia and the text came through on my phone from Louis [Walsh] about the record deal. I was like, ‘You’re kidding me – I can’t do that,’” laughs the former Westlife star. But the 33-year-old soon knuckled down and the result, his debut solo album Home, is out this week. Kian, who’s happily married to girl group member turned Hollyoaks star Jodi Albert and dad to two-year-old son Koa, enjoyed phenomenal success…

Little Vivian Lake Bündchen Brady looked positively angelic dressed top to toe in white for her very own big day at the same church where her supermodel mum Gisele made her vows. Like her parents’ wedding back in 2009, Vivian’s baptism was a low-key affair, with her football star dad Tom Brady carrying her into the Santa Monica church followed by Gisele, chic in a white spring jacket over floral capri pants which showcased her endless legs. As the California sun shone brightly, Gisele shielded her 15-month-old daughter’s eyes from the glare with her hand. As for the family limelight though, that didn’t appear to bother Vivian one bit. Sucking contentedly on her favourite dummy she was obviously enjoying mum and dad’s undivided attention while big brother Benjamin was out…

For a woman facing a series of life-changing events, Susanna Reid seems to be on good form. Striking a self-assured pose as she looks directly into the camera, this beautiful, exclusive portrait of the popular news presenter and Strictly Come Dancing finalist shows a woman confident in her own skin. The past few weeks have been, it would be fair to say, something of a rollercoaster. Hot on the heels of the news that she was leaving the BBC to join ITV’s new breakfast show, Good Morning Britain – due to start later this year – came the announcement that she had separated from Dominic Cotton, her long-term partner and father of her children, Sam, 11, Finn, nine, and Jack, eight. “I’m still talking to Dom,” she said recently of…

Literacy advocate the Duchess of Cornwall swapped fairytales for furry tails when she took up her latest charity patronage. Camilla has become royal patron of Medical Detection Dogs, which trains canine companions to sniff out serious human illnesses including cancer and dangerous physiological changes in those with chronic conditions such as diabetes. To celebrate, the dog-mad Duchess hosted a reception at St James’s Palace, where she was joined by her husband the Prince of Wales (above). Looking fetching in cream, Camilla was happy to let the proficient pooches take the lead. With obvious fascination, she and Prince Charles watched as three Labradors got to work identifying prostate cancer and kidney tumours from samples from patients. The royal couple also met six-year-old diabetic Cerys Davies (right), who is the proud owner…

Single since her split from fiancé Shane Warne, has Elizabeth Hurley been snapped up by wildlife photographer David Yarrow? The pair were seen leaving Claridge’s hotel in London together last week, after attending a fundraising dinner for the Tusk Trust (left), then stopped off at Blake’s Hotel before calling it a night. According to reports, Elizabeth clicked with the hedge-fund tycoon, 48, last month at an exhibition of his photographs. “It’s early days, but David’s telling chums that they are dating,” reports a source. Elizabeth, 48, is certainly a fan of his work. Posting a picture of one photograph on her Twitter feed, she wrote: “I adore my David Yarrow gorilla. He creates beautiful art while working to protect endangered species. Bravo.” Her former flame Shane, meanwhile, put his romantic…

Renowned photographer Rankin had Anna Friel and Nicole Scherzinger jumping for joy to help charity. The duo were snapped to help Oxfam’s Lift Lives for Good, which highlights the charity’s life-changing work. The on-going campaign didn’t hit a dud note with former X Factor judge Nicole (right). “It’s positive and creates the feeling that people have and can really make a difference,” she said. “I was so happy to be part of this shoot.” The pair were joined for the exclusive photoshoot by famous faces including Simon Pegg, Eliza Doolittle and David Morrissey, all happy to put the world in the picture about the charity. “Oxfam is such an established and proven charity it’s one that I never hesitate on being involved with,” Anna (left) told HELLO!. Away from the…

Sweden might have been celebrating Crown Princess Victoria’s name day last Wednesday, but it was her two-year-old daughter Princess Estelle who once more stole the show. The young Queen-to-be, who celebrated her second birthday last month, looked simply charming standing in the sunshine between her parents Victoria and Prince Daniel in Stockholm’s Palace Square. While her mother chose a bold and on-trend black-and-white outfit for the occasion, Estelle was wrapped up in a sweetly traditional duck-egg blue woollen coat and bonnet and fur-lined boots. Completely unfazed by the crowds, not only did the petite Princess behave impeccably throughout the ceremony, she also seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. When a military band played a special march in honour of her mother, Estelle beamed at the musicians, danced on the spot and…

PRINCESS DIANA ‘Gave phone book’ to journalist Princess Diana gave a confidential Buckingham Palace phone directory to the News of the World’s former royal editor, Clive Goodman, it was claimed at the phone-hacking trial last week. The list was found at the home of the 56-year-old, who said in the Old Bailey trial that the Princess had sent it to him after her 1992 separation from the Prince of Wales. Mr Goodman, who denies two counts of conspiracy to commit misconduct in a public office, told the court the book “worked its way into my pigeonhole” and said that Diana had sent it to the newspaper. “I had no idea it was coming,” he said. “I received a telephone call from the Princess later on asking if I had received…

Becoming a parent unlocks emotions you didn’t even know existed. The ultimate joy in that moment of having a child is something so good. Everyone knows how much I love my kids. When I first became a dad I was always talking about them and people would be like: “Oh this guy, give us a break.” Now with Amelia I keep saying a phrase in Greek that translates to: “I can’t cope” – not in a negative way, but as in: “I can’t cope with this love – I love you that much.” Emily and I look at each other sometimes and just say: “Oh my God, how wonderful is this?” I know some people will be rolling their eyes, but parents will get it. But that joy of being…

It was very much a family affair for Zara Tindall at the Cheltenham Festival last week. The accomplished equestrian, who won silver in the team eventing competition at the London 2012 Olympics, attended on three days, accompanied by several companions including her husband Mike, her mother the Princess Royal and her sister-in-law Autumn Phillips. The first day of the festival, Champion Day, proved something of a romantic outing for Zara and Mike, who were without their eight-week-old daughter, Mia Grace. The new parents appeared to be having a great time in the sunshine as they laughed and joked with friends. Clearly happy to be back in an equestrian environment, Zara, dressed in a cream Paul & Joe Sister coat and Amy Money hat, informed a fellow racegoer that she has…

ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL London’s beautiful people were out in force last week for the fifth annual Rodial Beautiful Awards. Organised by the famed skincare brand to celebrate style, beauty and elegance, the night at St Martins Lane hotel saw star judges including Amanda Wakeley, Jasmine Guinness, Kelly Hoppen and Jo Wood enjoy a sit-down dinner before the ceremony. Among the flawless winners were Woman of the Year Daisy Lowe, pop star Pixie Lott, who was named Most Stylish, and Jodie Kidd, who picked up the Classic Glamour prize. JEWEL-PURPOSE CELEBRATION Jeweller Kiki McDonough joined forces with ethical fashion label Beulah at a cocktail party to showcase their latest designs. Held at Kiki’s flagship store in London’s Sloane Square, the soiree heralded the dawn of her Aurora collection and…

OLGA KURYLENKO’S WINNING WAVES at the Baftas “After applying Charles Worthington Thick & Full 3D Boosting Crème, I blow-dried with a round brush, keeping the hair smooth but with a natural bend,” says Marc Trinder, art team director for Charles Worthington. “Starting at the nape of the neck and working from the roots, I took 1in sections and wound the ends around a large-barrel tong, immediately clipping hair in place to cool. I then removed the clips and raked Olga’s hair through with my fingers to loosen. To separate the curls I used a large flat brush sprayed with Charles Worthington Brush-Out Strong Hold Hairspray, which worked flexible hold into the ends.” Shiny, glossy and expensive looking. It wasn’t the trophies we coveted as A-listers on both sides of the…

Another day, another diet. It seems we are bombarded with often conflicting advice about what to eat to lose weight and stay healthy, so it can feel like food is your enemy rather than an essential element for survival. But a simpler approach is offered by nutritionist Amelia Freer. With celebrity clients including James Corden and Boy George, who credits her nutrition plan with helping to transform his weight and health, when it comes to food Amelia is a firm believer in consistency and creativity rather than deprivation and denial. “Health trends can be confusing and are ever changing,” she says. “If the many forms of deprivation – the classic detox, the cleanse or the 5:2 – haven’t captivated you, then fear not, as it is possible to enjoy nature’s…

Modern rustic isn’t about country living, it means creating spaces with sleek shapes, plenty of texture and muted tones. It is a look that works as well in a modern loft apartment as in a country pad. It’s about natural materials, fine craftsmanship and informality. Follow these simple tips to get the look: TEXTURE Texture is king; it’s the mix of the rough with the smooth – the softness of wool and fur against concrete and brick; woven wicker with polished stone; steel with old wood. Wooden floors and surfaces bring warmth; steel pendants, stainless steel kitchen tops and slate floors give a modern, harder edge; and large stone sinks add classic style. COLOUR AND PATTERN Choose mainly neutral colours – charcoal greys and earthy tones, touches of black and…
