She’s used to piping up on social media, so Chrissy Teigen’s first attempt at cake decoration got a far from frosty reception when she showcased it on Instagram. In preparation for her daughter Luna’s first birthday this week, the model, presenter and keen cook visited celebrity favourite Duff’s Cakemix in Los Angeles for a masterclass in cake decorating. And after perfecting various techniques she proudly posed with her two-tier creation – complete with gold polka dots, rainbow sprinkles and white sugar pearls (above) – before getting it boxed up to take home (left). “Thank you @duffscakemix for teaching me to decorate a cake for Luna’s upcoming bday!” was how Chrissy, 31, captioned her photo. “I’ll be back to do the real one soon! Get the sprinkles ready.” She later added:…

‘[My mother] was an advocate for all those who she felt needed her voice most’ Prince Harry In one of his most personal and powerful speeches to date, Prince Harry paid tribute last week to his mother Diana, Princess of Wales. Speaking at the Landmine Free 2025 reception at Kensington Palace, the 32-year-old Prince revealed his determination to continue her legacy and issued a plea to the world to “help me keep her word” by ridding the world of landmines by 2025. “She was an advocate for all those who she felt needed her voice most,” he said. “Whether it be marginalised men dying of Aids in East London, ostracised sufferers of leprosy in India, or the teenage girl who had lost her leg to a landmine in Angola.…

‘He was a delightful man… I liked him very much’ Stephen Fry The Queen was joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of York and the Earl of Wessex at a memorial service for her former brother-in-law Lord Snowdon last week. The society photographer, who had once been married to Her Majesty’s sister Princess Margaret, died in January, aged 86. The Queen added a splash of spring colour to the gathering at St Margaret’s Church beside Westminster Abbey, choosing a purple coat with black velvet trim and a matching hat adorned with flowers. Following the service, she greeted 14-year-old Lady Margarita Armstrong-Jones, the daughter of her nephew David, Lord Snowdon’s son and now the 2nd Earl of Snowdon. Also at the service were…

‘The Duchess and Pippa are friends as well as sisters. Kate will have been there for key planning points’ She has carved out a successful career as a party planner. But with the most important celebration of her life looming, bride-to-be Pippa Middleton has enlisted the additional expertise of her two most trusted “wing women” to ensure nothing goes amiss on her special day. Pippa, who marries financier James Matthews on 20 May, has been having regular summits with her big sister the Duchess of Cambridge and their mother Carole to fine-tune the wedding of the year. Last week, mother of two Kate paid at least two visits to the £17million mansion Pippa shares with her husband-to-be, with Carole also seen arriving at the stunning period property in West London.…

Former Spice Girl Melanie Brown has alleged that her estranged husband S t e p h e n Belafonte physically and verbally abused her throughout their ten-year marriage, in papers filed as part of their divorce battle. Melanie sought a temporary restraining order against the film producer last week amid claims that he physically attacked her in front of their daughter Madison, five, as well as the singer’s daughters from previous relationships, Phoenix Chi, 18, and Angel, ten. “I am in fear for my safety and that of my children,” Melanie stated in the official documents. She also said that when she overdosed on aspirin in December 2014, Stephen refused to help, locking her in a room. The same month she appeared on the X Factor…

Kristina Rihanoff may have hung up her Strictly Come Dancing shoes in 2015, but she can never resist getting back on the dancefloor. “I miss dancing when I’m not doing it,” says the Russian-born star, fresh from performing a rumba and cha-cha-cha with dancer Nauris Kalva at a gala night in aid of the Dot Com Children’s Foundation. The 39-year-old was thrilled to be back dancing at the annual event. “I was five months pregnant when the gala was held last year, so Strictly dancers Giovanni Pernice and Joanne Clifton stepped in to dance for me,” says Kristina, who was joined at London’s BT Tower by partner Ben Cohen. The parents were enjoying a rare night out while their baby daughter Mila was safely tucked up at home. “It’s amazing…

‘Catherine was everything I’d hoped. She was so natural and engaged’ When presenter Nick Knowles told the participants in new two-part BBC1 documentary Mind Over Marathon that they would be meeting the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, there were understandably a few nerves. But, having worked with the Princes on a 2015 episode of his hit show DIY SOS – when William and Harry donned hard hats to help transform an entire street in Manchester, creating homes for armed forces veterans – he was able to reassure them that “not only are the young royals great people, but they genuinely care”. “I was asked recently, ‘How much are they actually involved and how much is for the camera?’ Hand on heart the latter could not be further…

The 32-year-old has a daughter, Sophia, three, with husband Jay Rutland. They live in Kensington. What’s your favourite TV show ever?

Breathing in the sweet scent of the surrounding orange groves as she relaxes on a terrace at an exotic luxury villa in Marrakech, Myleene Klass breaks into a smile that lights up her entire face. “I’m super-content,” she tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview as she launches her new fashion collection. “Sometimes I stop and think, ‘Crikey, is it possible that someone can get everything they want?’” The 39-year-old designer, whose creations are in such high demand that she sells one every 60 seconds, is certainly riding the crest of a wave right now. Not only is business booming for the proud mother of two and former Hear’Say star, she’s also found love again with fashion PR Simon Motson. “I’m very, very happy,” she beams at the mention of his…

It’s hard to digest just how many Britons suffer from bloating and other tummy problems after meals. And according to nutritionist and author Patrick Holford, who has been taking an in-depth look at the issue for more than a decade, the issues are ever increasing. In 2001, Patrick launched his 100% Health Digestion Survey, an online questionnaire that more than 59,000 participants have filled in to date. A look at the data gathered over a 15-year period found that two in three participants reported feeling bloated after eating, eight out of ten didn’t have a satisfactory bowel movement every day and a quarter of women complained of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Patrick, whose new book Improve Your Digestion (Piatkus, £14.99) tackles this widespread problem, believes that most digestive complaints are…

‘The Duke is charm personified. We had a good old chat’ The Duke of Edinburgh found a new fan in Kylie Minogue when she visited Windsor Castle last week to pick up a special accolade. The pair laughed and joked throughout the meeting, which took place in the Castle’s White Drawing Room and during which the 95-year-old Duke presented the pop star with the Britain Australia Society Award for 2016. Kylie, 47, won the honour for her contribution to positive relations between the UK and her native land “as an acclaimed singer, songwriter, actor and iconic personality”. She and Prince Philip talked about how much effort goes into making an album and she later described him as “charm personified”, saying they had a “good old chat”. She also tweeted a…

‘It’s hard to believe that three years ago we were going on our first date, and now we’re a proper family’ Amy Williams was ecstatic when she won gold for Great Britain at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010, hurtling down the track on her skeleton bob in less than a minute. But giving birth to her first child with soldier husband Craig Ham this year was an emotional moment that has surely topped anything in her sporting career. “It’s overwhelming,” says Amy, 34, as she and Craig introduce their beautiful new son, Oscar Nash, at their home in Bathampton, near Bath. “You instantly know that you would do absolutely anything to protect your child. There are massive highs and lows within the space of one day.” Perhaps showing some…

Flawlessly adjusting his usual routine to double time, Strictly Come Dancing pro Anton Du Beke had a definite spring in his step as he left Wexham Park Hospital’s maternity unit in Berkshire with his partner Hannah Summers and their six-day-old twins. Carrying a car seat in each hand, the delighted dad beamed from ear to ear while making his way to the couple’s car. Anton, 50, shared news of the birth of his son and daughter on Twitter, posting an image of a top hat and cane with two pairs of tiny dancing shoes (above). “Oh my! The little dancing feet have arrived. Mum and twins are perfect and dad is ridiculously excited!” he said. The ballroom champion later added a follow-up tweet to fans and well-wishers: “Thank you for…

Princess Diana demonstrated her love for her children in a way no royal mother had ever done before. This photo, taken with Princes William and Harry in 1988 at Highgrove to celebrate the Prince of Wales’s 40th birthday – the latest in our series of iconic photos to mark the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death – speaks volumes of the intimacy, affection and fun the boys shared with their mother. She once called them “my mini-tornadoes”, fondly describing how they could wreck a room in minutes. But, with their sweet smiles and smart clothes, the boys always behaved impeccably in public. Often seen smoothing her sons’ hair or straightening their ties, Diana was never afraid to show her maternal love in hundreds of small ways that remain her legacy today.…

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have enjoyed a relaxed and friendly meeting with the Pope, during which the pontiff urged Prince Charles to bring peace to the world. The heir to the throne and his wife were visiting the Vatican for their first audience with Pope Francis, who told the Prince: “Wherever you go, may you be a man of peace,” to which Charles replied: “I’ll do my best.” The visit in Rome was a highlight of the royal couple’s nine-day tour of European cities and was more informal than their previous papal meetings, with Camilla opting for a gold silk outfit by Anna Valentine rather than the traditional black, with black veil, that is usually a requirement for women granted a private audience. There were…

Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle last week stunned the millions of fans who follow her every move by abruptly shutting down her blog. The actress’s decision to close lifestyle website The Tig, on which she has shared her tips on food, fitness and fashion for the past three years, sparked fresh speculation about the state of her nine-month romance with Harry. “There has been a lot of talk about how she would have to give up her blog if they did get engaged, so it’s inevitable that a lot of people will now be expecting an announcement,” a royal source tells HELLO! . The move comes as Meghan returns to Canada to film a seventh series of hit legal drama Suits . HELLO! has been told the 35-year-old took the…

‘When they found out Garry and I were together, the reaction was so beautiful’ Singer Barry Manilow, 73 (left), thanks fans as he discusses his sexuality for the first time. He married his business manager Garry Kief in 2014 ‘I cannot imagine a moment when I will need filler for my face, as if it needs to be filled. Can we unfill this? Let’s get an emptier’ American actress Amy Schumer is no fan of cosmetic surgery ‘Time off would be the death of me. The only time I will take time off is when I die’ Singer Sir Tom Jones thinks it’s not unusual to keep on working ‘All I ever do is nitty-gritty roles and I think, if I kept doing that all the time, I would have…

To say James Corden has taken the US by storm is a bit of an understatement. The host of The Late Late Show (above) has well and truly achieved the holy grail of cracking America, picking up a Critics’ Choice award for best talkshow, not to mention an Emmy nod as proof. His Carpool Karaoke segment with Adele has had more than 140 million hits on YouTube and he’s also persuaded Michelle Obama, who was America’s First Lady at the time, to take part. Add in the likes of Justin Bieber, Madonna, Chris Martin, Stevie Wonder and Sir Elton John and I think we all agree it is not bad for a boy born in London who made a name for himself as Smithy in TV favourite Gavin and Stacey.…

SAVE V SPLURGE I’m obsessing over summer denim and want to add some colourful yellow or floral jeans to my wardrobe. I’m lusting after a Gucci pair (right) after I spotted them on Alexa Chung, but the high street is awash with great versions. Choices, choices… Instagram OF THE WEEK I may be taking my spring clean a little too far. I’ve thrown away half of my stuff and moved house in the last week. And I’ve cut off my hair (below). I popped into my friend Bellsie’s Salon Sloane and said: “Chop it off.” So liberating. I now feel fresh, light and have created space for all things new. Let the summer season begin… This Week’s Obsession: COLOUR CRUSH If you haven’t heard of it, then check…

DEEP-FRIED BABY LEMON CALAMARI “This simplest of dishes, prepared well, fills me with nostalgia for my beach holidays as a child in Puglia – after a day in the sun it would more than satisfy the need for something salty and crisp.

The Hilltown Escape La Bandita Townhouse, Italy The stay: A 15th-century convent converted into a 12-bedroom hotel, La Bandita Townhouse is set on one of the prettiest lanes in historic Pienza in Tuscany. The entrance is so discreet you’d be forgiven for walking past but, once inside, you’ll find all the trappings of a contemporary hideaway: whitewashed walls, exposed stonework and verve by the bucketful. The rooms here show admirable restraint with “floating” beds and linear styling, and sleek freestanding baths make a long, fragrant soak all too tempting. A labyrinth of cobbled streets awaits you beyond the dove-grey shutters and from the top-floor suites, you’ll have views across Val d’Orcia’s patchwork hills to Montepulciano. In the Townhouse Caffe, guests tuck in to seasonal Tuscan dishes rustled up by chef…

One month after his 18th birthday, Brooklyn Beckham treated himself to a gift that will last a lifetime: his very first tattoo. Following in the ink marks of his picture-perfect dad, the teen opted for an image of a Native American on his inner forearm (above right) by Los Angeles tattoo artist Mark Mahoney, a close friend of his father’s. The design, strikingly similar to one of David’s (right) was revealed in a series of during and after Instagram posts (left). Brooklyn wrote: “Thank you so much Mark x just like dads.” While some thought the tattoo “offensive” to people of Native American heritage, he described the inking as “dope”, adding: “Let everyone have their own opinion it’s your choice what you want to get tatted on you.” One person…

Clearly enjoying the extra time with their paw relation after Frank’s retirement from professional football this year, the canine-crazy couple were spotted on a walk with pet pooch Minnie. Walking side by side, Christine and Frank were spotted pounding the pavements near their London home (right). And there was no doubting their dogged devotion to the Havanese hound in a photo shared by TV presenter Christine (below left). Posting the pic of Frank and Minnie, the former The One Show co-host said: “#dateday with these 2,” adding blue heart emojis. It was not the first time the much-loved mutt has shared Insta-time with her famous owners. In…

US First Lady Melania Trump and Queen Rania of Jordan – in town with her husband King Abdullah for a state visit – joined up to meet children and parents at the Excel Academy.

Donald’s elder daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner also met the King and Queen, joining the throng in the Rose Garden ahead of the traditional joint press conference for visiting heads of state, Ivanka clad in…

‘I don’t feel any ill will to him. I just know that he didn’t have the qualities and beautiful heart my husband had’ With their heads bowed solemnly, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry joined grieving families and survivors of the Westminster terror attacks last week to remember those who died. The trio looked visibly upset during a Service of Hope at Westminster Abbey, which was attended by some 1,800 people, including Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and Home Secretary Amber Rudd. Also there were police officers, ambulance staff and medics, some of whom had been on duty in central London a fortnight earlier, when Khalid Masood ploughed a car into dozens of people on Westminster Bridge and went on to fatally stab PC Keith Palmer, who…

JEN AND JUSTIN BLACK ON THE RED CARPET Hollywood couple Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux had clearly compared notes before stepping out last week. The pair, who are rarely seen together on the red carpet, wore matching black for the season three premiere of Justin’s TV series The Leftovers .

The 48-year-old former Friends star accessorised her choice with hoop earrings and strappy black heels. Justin, 45, meanwhile, cut a dapper figure in a black suit and narrow black tie.

‘Traditional masks are great but they don’t last. I wanted more – a mask that feeds the skin and is practical’ Traditional hydrogel sheet masks are like a drink of water for your skin so it’s little wonder you see so many A-list faces obscured by them on social media: Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham and Chrissy Teigen are not afraid to resemble Hannibal Lecter for a moment of masked beauty. Masks are a quick moisture fix for skin before a red carpet appearance; for us mere mortals they work wonderfully on flights, before a big night out or simply to wind down at the end of a tough week. First generation sheet masks work with the aid of osmosis, the principle of water passing through a semipermeable membrane (in…
