DAWN FRENCH PICTURE PERFECT AS SHE TURNS 60 Her partnership with Jennifer Saunders has produced many magical moments, while for years she was married to fellow comedian Lenny Henry. However, to celebrate her 60th birthday, Dawn French teamed up with a lesser-known long-term collaborator, but the results were still spectacular. Keen to mark her milestone, t h e Vicar of Dibley s t a r approached photographer Trevor Leighton to take a special birthday portrait. Sharing the image (left) with fans on the day itself, Dawn tweeted: “Thank you my darlin heart. @trevorleighton took this pic at my house. He clever.” The renowned photographer – friends with Dawn since he began working with her in 1981 (right)– was just as pleased, saying: “I think it’s her best photograph yet. Dawn…

A leading UK bookmaker has halted betting on whether Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will announce an engagement this year. William Hill is now offering odds only on which month they confirm the news. December carries the shortest odds of 5/2 with 6/1 in November and 12/1 for this month. “We have seen a rush of bets which makes us think that an engagement may already have taken place,” said a company spokesman. “It is now just a case of whether they announce it sooner rather than later.” The news follows a report in magazine US Weekly that claims the couple are already engaged. “Harry always planned to share the news only with family at first so he could enjoy it before word spread. But they…

As her sister the Duchess of Cambridge aired her royal baby bump in public for the first time since announcing her pregnancy, Pippa Middleton also stepped out after a brief spell away from the spotlight. Displaying her chic style in blue jeans, a grey sweater over a pristine white shirt and designer sunglasses, the 34-year-old newlywed looked deep in thought as she strolled through Chelsea. Pippa was also sporting a very on-trend shoulder-length hairdo, known as a “lob”, no doubt inspired by the shorter style unveiled by Kate earlier this year, which was instantly nicknamed the “Kob”. This was the first time the younger sister has been seen since 12 September, when she was spotted cycling in the capital and, judging by the carrier bag in her hand, she had…

Not many people could boast that Paloma Faith stormed into their wedding and burst into song. But that’s what happened to James and Chris, the lucky couple in Your Song, a new show presented by Emma Willis. The heart-warming ITV special sees music stars put on special surprise performances for people who have, says Emma, “done something extraordinary”. Other big artists joining Paloma to create special moments for deserving people are Rita Ora, Little Mix, James Arthur and The Script. “The key element is surprise,” Emma tells HELLO! . “We have to keep everything under wraps. There’s a lot of sneaking around, then I jump out with a camera and say, ‘Hi!’ It’s nerve-racking, but so fantastic when you get away with it and everyone is gobsmacked.” James and Chris…

Model Poppy Delevingne and jewellery designer Jade Jagger were among a host of jet-setters who parked themselves in the basement garage under London’s Vogue House to enjoy champagne and cocktails as well as a lavish flower installation and stunning travel photos, before moving on to their final destination: the afterparty at famed society hotspot Annabel’s. STARS SAY ‘I DO’ TO WEDDING PARTY Love was in full flower as charity PR guru Nick Ede celebrated marrying fellow public relations man Andrew Naylor at London’s Hackney Town Hall. Joining the lavish reception at nearby eatery Jones & Sons for scallops, beef fillets and Absolut Elyx cocktails were newlyweds Zoe Hardman and…

‘Coffee contains many chemicals, some of which are good for us and some of which are not. This explains why medical opinion is so divided’ There are few of us who do not rely upon the caffeine hit from a cup of coffee to get started in the morning, but most of us deep down inside think it’s a bad habit, something to try to kick to get healthy. However, studies at the universities of Southampton and Edinburgh and another at Harvard and published in Annals of Internal Medicine may have dispelled this myth. Researchers found that people who drank two cups of coffee each day have a lower risk of developing the most common type of liver cancer, while Harvard’s study – the largest ever undertaken at the university…

Model mum Abbey Clancy believes she will come down to earth with a bump when baby number three arrives early next year, so who can blame her for grabbing a sizzling sunshine break in Dubai with her footballer husband Peter Crouch while she can? The 31-year-old TV presenter, who is due to give birth in January, looked carefree as she strolled along the beach in the warm Arabian Gulf sunshine in a tiny black Melissa Odabash bikini last week. Nevertheless, she knows life will become a juggling act once she has a newborn to care for along with the couple’s two other young children, Sophia, six, and Liberty, two. “I always wanted a big family so I feel extremely blessed, but it is going to be hard work. I don’t…

‘We had the most amazing party of our lives. It was filled with the most wonderful emotions’ Prince Philip It was the first royal wedding held in Serbia for nearly a hundred years, so when Prince Philip of Serbia – son of Crown Prince Alexander – married graphic designer Danica Marinkovic in Belgrade, they pulled out all the stops. Royals gathering at the Cathedral Church of St Michael the Archangel, where the Eastern Orthodox ceremony took place, included Queen Sofía of Spain, who is the groom’s godmother, and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, who was matron of honour to the 30-year-old bride. The 35-year-old groom, a City banker, counts ex-King Constantine of Greece as his godfather, while our Queen was his father’s godmother. The bride, whose father is…

He hasn’t played for four years but his wage of about £35,000 a day would still put him among the top earners in the Premier League He hasn’t played football professionally since 2013 – but that hasn’t done anything to hamper David Beckham’s seemingly unstoppable ability to earn money. More than four years after he retired from the sport that made his name, accounts released last week reveal that the 42-year-old earnt £12.7million last year – a huge monthly income of just over £1m. The husband of fashion designer Victoria Beckham has continued to enjoy a lucrative career, becoming the face of several high-profile brands including adidas, H&M and Haig Club whisky. His wage of about £35,000 a day would put him among the top earners in the Premier League…

‘People might look at me and think I’ve got everything, but a sweeping staircase and designer handbag doesn’t really do it for me’ Louise Redknapp, confirming that she and husband Jamie are now living apart ‘You know what? I want to dance through life. I don’t want to scuttle’ Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley on learning how to deal with fame ‘I have never done an honest day’s work. I’ve never done any hard labour. I have become wildly successful writing about something that I have no knowledge of’ US rock legend Bruce Springsteen feels he’s been Dancing in the Dark ‘I don’t do sell-by dates. If there is a pot of cream I just lift the lid and smell it’ Mary Berry, the mother of TV cooks, always nose…

He was Hollywood’s most powerful and influential man, with a beautiful, fashion designer wife, five children aged from four to 22, millions in the bank and the Midas touch when it came to making Oscar-winning films. But producer Harvey Weinstein’s world has come crashing down as he faces multiple accusations of rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment by a string of Hollywood actresses and other women working within the film industry. Following a report in The New York Times that catalogues the film executive’s alleged abusive behaviour over the past two decades, actresses including Angelina Jolie, Gywneth Paltrow, Kate Beckinsale and Cara Delevingne came forward last week with their own stories. In an email to the newspaper, Angelina revealed: “I had a bad experience with Harvey Weinstein in my youth,…

There are parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme and bouquet garni tattoos for the more herbally inclined The hottest scent of the season is Chanel’s Gabrielle: it’s everything that you really want No. 5 to be and more. The super-modern white floral is bursting with fresh notes and dries on the skin to be sensual and huggable. It is the French couture house’s imagined fragrance of the perfect white flower, which is fitting as the favourite white flower of founder Coco – whose real name was Gabrielle – was the camellia, which doesn’t have a scent. And who better to ask to create it than perfumer Olivier Polge, the son of veteran Chanel nose Jacques Polge? However, one wonders if Chanel is missing a trick here. Yes, it has created the most…

She stepped back from the legal arena for a short time after the birth of twins Ella and Alexander in June, but Amal Clooney has always been on the case when it comes to fashion. And the human rights specialist certainly set the bar high in Los Angeles to help launch the William Vintage x Gianni Versace archive in partnership with FarFetch. Dressed in a gold tunic dress from Versace’s autumn 1994 collection, Amal mingled with fellow guests – including actress Isla Fisher – at the event. It marked 500 pieces from the designer, spanning 20 years, going on sale at William Vintage and Farfetch. Trading her glamorous look for something more low key the following day, Amal was spotted out and about in Beverly Hills, keeping it simple in…

DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE Joins Kiwis in mourning WWI fallen The Duke of Cambridge last week paid a moving tribute to New Zealand troops who lost their lives at Passchendaele in the First World War. Speaking during centenary commemorations at Tyne Cot cemetery in Belgium, he said: “All too often the newsreels speak of ‘ordinary’ men and women. There was nothing ordinary about their service or their sacrifice. “As we have heard, October 12, 1917 was the ‘darkest day’ in the military history of a proud and committed people. For New Zealanders, the loss of more than 840 men in just a few hours is seared into the national consciousness.” PRESIDENT TRUMP UK visit downgraded to working trip Donald Trump’s first UK trip as US President will not be a full…

‘When I was in my 20s, I thought I was in control. I look back now and realise I didn’t have a clue’ TV presenter Julia Bradbury, 47, worked as a reporter in Hollywood for GMTV in the 1990s. She now lives in London with her partner Gerard Cunningham, their son Zephyrus, six, and two-year-old twin daughters Xanthe and Zena When I first started working as a reporter in Hollywood, I was told to be wary of being alone in a room with Harvey Weinstein. I never met him, but I’ve been at some of the same events as him, and it was one of those things spoken out of the corner of the mouth: “Watch him – he’s the one with the roving hands.” I…

The Duchess of Cambridge last week made her first public appearance since it was announced she is pregnant with her third child – and she seemed to drop a hint that her baby is a boy. Looking radiant, Kate joined her husband the Duke at a reception at Buckingham Palace to mark World Mental Health Day. She gave her chic take on maternity style in a Temperley London Eclipse lace collar dress that gave a hint of a baby bump. It was the first time she has been seen in public in six weeks as she has been suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, the severe form of morning sickness that blighted the early weeks of her pregnancies with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. But Kate was determined to mark World Mental…

‘I really had to hold back my emotions. Caron would have been so proud of my OBE’ With a spectacular feathered hat by Vivien Sheriff and a cream coat dress and skirt by Revie Jourrou at Sierra, Gloria Hunniford looked picture perfect to receive her OBE from the Queen at Buckingham Palace last week. “I wanted something that was simple but sophisticated,” Gloria told HELLO! when we joined her at the Langham hotel in London before she made her way to the Palace for the investiture, along with husband Stephen Way and her two sons, Paul and Michael. After the ceremony, she said: “It was without doubt one of the most exciting and memorable days of my whole life. I’m on cloud nine because it was the Queen who gave…

Emily v Tabitha US-born, London-based blogger Emily Johnston thinks oversized jumpers are perfect for autumn – and for hiding a multitude of sins A cosy jumper is my go-to for autumn and winter. I find peace in an oversized knit you can get lost in and, while my preferences are with cashmere, I’m really good for any sort of material as long as it’s massive, can be thrown on once the weather dips towards freezing and looks stylish enough to make people forget I’m wearing tattered jeans. That’s the thing about winter: you can get away with wearing anything as long as you have a chic coat or statement jumper – a jumper that makes a statement, that is, not necessarily one with a statement written on it. Don’t want…

Think of model and DJ Amber Le Bon and no doubt her gloriously long and shiny hair will come to mind. But the 28-year-old daughter of Duran Duran singer Simon and his model wife Yasmin is embracing a new look after donating seven inches off her mane to make wigs for children who have lost their hair through chemotherapy, alopecia and other illnesses. It’s all part of GHD’s Chop To Your Chin campaign calling on young people with long hair to go short for the Little Princess Trust, which provides real-hair wigs to children across the UK and Republic of Ireland. Amber tells HELLO! why she decided in short order to look even trimmer than ever. What made you decide to lose seven inches of your beautiful hair? “I really…
