Taking time out from the Britain’s Got Talent auditions and making the most of the recent school half term holiday, Amanda Holden proved she can back a winning family holiday last week. The reality show judge jetted off to sun-soaked Dubai with her husband Chris Hughes and their two daughters Lexi, 13, and six-year-old Hollie, and could not resist sharing some holiday snaps with fans. Posting a series of images from her “#minibreak” on Instagram and Twitter, Amanda wrote: “I #love #school #holidays.” In one photo (right), she relaxes beside the infinity pool at the swish Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort and Spa in a black bikini, while another shows her two girls, also poolside, gazing out at the water (below left).

They were all his favourites, so it was fitting that stars including Strictly Come Dancing’s Tess Daly were among those joining Sir Bruce Forsyth’s widow Lady Forsyth, son JJ and daughter Louisa (above right) at the London Palladium last week for a celebration of his life. After arriving with her husband Vernon Kay (left), Tess – who co-presented the popular BBC programme with Bruce for ten years – hosted the event, which featured performances from Dame Shirley Bassey and the Strictly pro dancers, as well as clips from Sir Bruce’s long career. Writing on Instagram, Tess said that her role was “a huge honour”, adding: “Bruce would’ve been 90 today. I will never ever forget the privilege of working with this legend of show business. I was so proud to…

Known for playing centre throughout his rugby union career, last week Mike Tindall finally got to be a fly half – and he loved it. The former England captain teamed up with Formula 1 legend Nigel Mansell to co-pilot (inset left) a new Airbus H145 air ambulance from Staverton Airport in Gloucestershire to RAF Cosford in Shropshire, where it was delivered to the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. Uploading a photo showing him and Nigel posing in front of the £7million chopper (left), Mike tweeted: “Great morning with the @MAA Charity… seeing the launch of their new helicopter! This bad boy is going to save a lot of lives!!” The sports star, an ambassador for the charity, said: “The new helicopter will allow crews to travel further, faster and provide more…

GEORGE & AMAL CLOONEY Donate to school shooting survivors Hollywood star George Clooney and his barrister wife Amal have given $500,000 (£360,000) to support survivors of the Florida school shooting that left 17 people dead earlier this month. The couple said they were making the gesture in the name of their eight-month-old twins Alexander and Ella. Survivors plan to march on Washington DC in March to campaign for gun control. In a statement George said: “Amal and I are so inspired by the courage and eloquence of these young men and women from Stoneman Douglas High School. Our family will be there on March 24 to stand side by side with this incredible generation of young people… and in the name of our children Ella and Alexander, we’re donating $500,000…

Katie Piper can count on one hand the number of times she has seen her mum Diane cry. In one moving chapter of the inspiring duo’s brilliant new book From Mother to Daughter: The Things I’d Tell My Child, former schoolteacher Diane recalls how, in the aftermath of a major skin graft – one of 250 operations that Katie has endured in the ten years since a barbaric acid attack – she and her husband David took turns to massage their daughter’s scarred and swollen face. “You have to stretch the grafted skin until it turns white,” reveals Diane, in an excerpt from diaries she kept at the time about the thrice-daily procedure. “Sometimes, when one of us is massaging her, the other goes into the next room to cry.…

Best friends as well as mum and daughter, a stylish Princess Beatrice joined her mother Sarah, Duchess of York last week for a glamorous night out in aid of a good cause. Dressed in a floral embellished chiffon gown, Beatrice, 29, was a guest at the British Heart Foundation’s Beating Hearts Ball at London’s Guildhall, raising money for heart research and awareness of inherited heart conditions, which are responsible for around 160,000 deaths each year – one every three minutes. Resplendent in a fitted red dress, British Heart Foundation ambassador Sarah, 58, said in her welcome speech: “Heart disease is devastating and it is happening now to all people of all ages and backgrounds. “I have a beating heart, everyone in this room has a beating heart, and we must…

Supermodels past and present put on a stylish display to pay tribute to Burberry designer Christopher Bailey at London Fashion Week autumn/ winter 2018.

HELLO ! Fashion Monthly editor JILL WANLESS tells how the Queen lit up London Fashion Week from her own front row seat... As part of the fashion industry for many years, I have witnessed some memorable debuts. But as long as I live, I’ll never forget that I was there the day the Queen took her place next to the queen of fashion Dame Anna Wintour on the front row at her first ever catwalk show. To compound my excitement, I had one of the best views in the house – seated directly opposite Her Majesty while hot new talent Richard Quinn’s models paraded royal-inspired swing coats, silk headscarves and signature striking floral prints, which have already won him high acclaim. If the Queen was bemused by it all, it…

‘No one cares who’s been speculatively arguing or not… [We’re] great’ Cheryl I It’s one of the most star-studded events on the showbusiness calendar, with international celebrities jetting into the UK to attend the prestigious Brit Awards. But despite the presence of numerous A-listers, all eyes were on Cheryl Tweedy and Liam Payne during this year’s ceremony at London’s O2, as they made a rare joint appearance. Smiling as they held hands for the cameras, the parents of 11-month-old son Bear looked happy and united amid reports that their two-year relationship has hit trouble. They giggled and whispered on the red carpet, later giving a racy interview to host Jack Whitehall during the show, and sharing an Instagram snap of the former Girls Aloud singer, 34, resting her…

The fact that she is expecting a boy did not stop Eva Longoria Bastón from thinking pink at the Costume Designers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills last week. The actress, currently pregnant with her first child, was at the ceremony to present the Spotlight award to Scandal actress Kerry Washington, and turned heads in a bump-skimming dusky pink slip dress and duster coat (right). After making her way to the stage, the former Desperate Housewives star joked: “It’s nerve-racking enough deciding what to wear to these things… and then when you’re pregnant… Oh my. My Spanx don’t fit any more.” At the ceremony Eva also caught up with Jane the Virgin actress Gina Rodriguez, the pair posing with Kerry on the red carpet and taking selfies backstage. Eva and husband…

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were last week at the centre of a scare after a package containing white powder and a racist message was addressed to them. The incident is being treated by police as a hate crime. The package, which never reached the royal and his fiancée, was discovered at St James’s Palace, sparking fears that it contained the poison anthrax. Counter-terror specialists were called in to investigate and the powder was found to be harmless. “Police are investigating after a package containing a substance was delivered to St James’s Palace on Monday, 12 February,” a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said. “The substance was tested and confirmed as non-suspicious. Officers are also investigating an allegation of malicious communications, which relates to the same package. It is being…

‘Camilla is the perfect mentor for Meghan’ With her fairytale Windsor Castle wedding just weeks away, Meghan Markle could be forgiven for feeling a little nervous. But as she adjusts to her new home life at Kensington Palace, she has the wholehearted support of someone who has already successfully navigated a similar path. The bride-to-be recently had lunch with the Duchess of Cornwall at Clarence House, where she was able to share any concerns and ask questions about life as a future member of the royal family. Warm-hearted Camilla, who said after Meghan’s engagement: “America’s loss is our gain,” was only too happy to help reassure Prince Harry’s fiancée over a meal at the London home she shares with the Prince of Wales.

To mark HELLO! ’s 30th birthday, we are remembering some of our best covers from over the years. With the Academy Awards coming up, we revisit March 2009 (right), when Kate Winslet won Best Actress for The Reader . In the same issue, we covered the wedding of terminally ill Jade Goody to Jack Tweed; Jack recently posted an Instagram tribute on the ninth anniversary of their wedding in February 2009, a month before her death.

Just days after returning from her family ski holiday, Victoria Beckham showed it was a break to remember when she was seen in London last week with crutches. The fashion designer also had her ankle encased in a protective boot after possibly suffering an injury during her recent holiday in the Canadian resort of Whistler. Seen using the crutches as she left a meeting in the capital, and followed closely by an aide, the designer looked as stylish as ever in skinny black trousers and a matching jumper – though she had abandoned her trademark heels in favour of one somewhat flatter black pump. Although Victoria accompanied the family – husband David, sons Romeo, 15, Cruz, 13, and six-year-old Harper – to Canada (eldest son Brooklyn, 18, stayed in New…

The couple donned hard hats and goggles to see the Northern Spire bridge You have to hand it to the Duchess of Cambridge: she is always keen to join in the fun. So when mum-to-be Kate was offered the chance to get a henna tattoo on a visit to Sunderland last week, she did not hesitate. The royal couple were in the city to officially open creative hub The Fire Station and, while inside chatting to women from Young Asian Voices, Kate asked Shajida Begum, 18, if she could have a floral design drawn onto her hand. “I said, Would you like a design?’ and she was like, Yes, if you don’t mind,’” Shajida said. “She was saying that it was really pretty. I was just telling her how it…

There was an all-star turnout in Los Angeles when three of music’s biggest names made sure the NBA All-Star Weekend was an A-list slam dunk. For Jennifer Lopez the State Farm All-Star Saturday Night was also a date night, a chance to spend the evening with her own perfect match: Alex Rodriguez. Seated courtside and posing for photos (left) at the Staples Center, the couple seemed to be having a ball at the annual event. Proving that she has passed on her love of hoops to the next generation, Beyoncé attended Sunday’s big draw with her six-year-old daughter Blue Ivy (above). Game for anything, the youngster made her high-profile appearance in a Givenchy leather jacket and clutching a signed basketball, and was spotted snapping selfies with her mum – on-trend…

It’s not only Buckingham Palace that has been busy announcing royal engagements. Last week Monaco’s Princess Stéphanie released a statement via the Prince’s Palace of Monaco announcing that her son Louis Ducruet is to marry his college sweetheart Marie Chevallier (together, left). Louis, 25, also shared his happy news, posting a photo (right) on Instagram of him, dressed in a white suit, on one knee proposing to Marie on the beach at Hoi An in Vietnam, with the caption: “Let me introduce you [to] the future madame Ducruet. She said yes and we are now engaged.” Posting the same photo on her Instagram page, Marie wrote: “Proud to announce that, I said YES to the love of my life… I love you so so so much.” Louis and Marie met…

With his grandmother and father ahead of him, the Duke of Cambridge is in no rush to accede to the throne. However, there is one seat of power to which he could easily get used: that of a motorbike. Prince William has talked of having “a passion for motorbikes ever since I was very small”. So he was only too pleased to take the new Triumph Tiger 1200 for a spin during a tour of the bike-maker’s factory and new Visitor Experience in Leicestershire last week. After donning full protective gear (above) the Duke eagerly climbed aboard the motorbike (above right), which earlier he had declared “a monster”. He may not have scored brownie points back home – in 2015 the Duchess of Cambridge said her husband’s motorbike trips “fill…

‘Our family makes all those people who don’t fit in think, “I’d fit in there”’ The Grant household is a flurry of activity on the day of our exclusive shoot. In between making cups of tea for the HELLO! team, TV presenters and vocal coaches David and Carrie Grant help round up and organise their lively children for various shots while trying to persuade a reluctant eight-year-old to take part. “My life has been completely humiliated,” their son Nathan announces after gamely agreeing to smile for the camera – just the once. On the surface, this family scene of domestic hustle and bustle, quick-fire chatter and laughter in a comfortable North London home seems fairly typical. But it is anything but. Each of Carrie and David’s four children has a…

‘Kate looked absolutely beautiful and I’m so happy she is pregnant again’ Sweeping into the spotlight on the red carpet of the prestigious EE Bafta Awards at London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Duchess of Cambridge dazzled in a dark green Jenny Packham gown and exquisite emerald and diamond jewels. In a gentle nod to the Time’s Up movement against sexual harassment, which encouraged attendees to wear all black, Kate, who is expecting her third child in April, wore a black velvet band around the empire line gown and carried a black Pretty Ballerinas clutch. Her gems were also seen as significant, as emeralds are viewed as a symbol of “hope, renewal and growth” and had featured heavily at this year’s Golden Globes. The star-studded event offered Kate and her…

Her star has been on the rise since her winning turn in I’m a Celebrity… Get Me out of Here! , but Georgia “Toff” Toffolo never dreamt it would carry her to a dream job in the bright lights of Hollywood. “I can’t believe it,” says the 23-year-old queen of the jungle when HELLO! catches up with her for an exclusive chat about her latest This Morning assignment: reporting direct from Tinseltown on this year’s Academy Awards. “I’m basically going to infiltrate all the big parties and the red carpet,” she tells us. “I want to show the viewers the glitz and glamour of the Oscars – but not just the main event itself. The big lead-up to it, too, so all the stylists, the make-up artists, the hairstylists, everything.”…

PATI DUBROFF CELEBRITY CLIENTS  Margot Robbie, Priyanka Chopra and Kate Bosworth Industry veteran Pati Dubroff is on the speed dial of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. The respected make-up artist is something of a skin specialist and places a lot of emphasis on prepping the face – before she even picks up a brush. How do you prep your celebrity clients before a red-carpet event? “Perfecting the skin is really important. I make sure it is well hydrated. I always use sheet masks from 111Skin before a red-carpet event, then I go over the areas where there shouldn’t be shine – like the T-zone – with a matt primer; this also helps foundation stay in place and reduces the need for a lot of powders. I also layer products so…
