Veteran ITN newsreader Alastair Stewart has left ITV News following “errors of judgement” in his use of social media. The 67-year-old journalist resigned after using the phrase “angry ape” on Twitter to a person of colour. The term was in a quote from Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure , which Alastair sent political adviser Martin Shapland during an online debate four weeks ago. Announcing his resignation, the News at Ten presenter said: “It was a misjudgement which I regret, but it’s been a privilege to bring the news to households throughout the UK for the past 40 years.” Thousands signed a petition calling for his reinstatement, while colleagues sent messages of support. Fellow ITN newsreader Mary Nightingale tweeted: “He was a good friend and mentor to me when I started at…

‘It’s great to visit places like this where communities come together to support one another’ The Duchess The Duchess of Cambridge served up a treat for children and parents last week as she joined them for drop-off at a London nursery school. Kate helped dish up breakfast to the little ones and chatted to staff about The Royal Foundation’s 5 Big Questions on the Under 5s survey, focused on early childhood. Kate surprised families arriving at Stockwell Gardens Nursery and Pre-school in South London, part of the London Early Years Foundation (LEYF). After wheeling a trolley of food into the classroom, she sat with children at a tiny table, pouring out cereal for three-year-old Lucy and her classmates and asking them to say “stop” when there was enough in their…

William kicked off the visit by playing emoji bingo at a school. ‘It’s very competitive,’ he said He has passed his love for the beautiful game on to his children, taking Prince George and Princess Charlotte to watch his beloved Aston Villa play earlier in the season. And last week the Duke of Cambridge focused on football again on a visit to Liverpool as he continued his mission to get men talking about mental health.

Even surrounded by breathtaking views, Mark Wright only had eyes for his wife Michelle Keegan during a paradise getaway in the Caribbean. The couple, who will celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary in May, jetted off on the exotic break for Mark’s 33rd birthday. “Happiness summed up in 1 pic. Living, Laughing, Loving,” the TV and Heart FM presenter wrote alongside an Instagram photo of the loved-up pair, adding that the trip had made his birthday “so special”. Holidays are always a treasured time for the busy pair, who have a jam-packed year ahead – it emerged last week that they are planning to knock down the £1.3m Essex farmhouse they bought late last year and replace it with a Georgian-style mansion.

Few people can say something positive about losing their job, but US beauty influencer Huda Kattan doesn’t hesitate to describe it as the best thing to happen to her. Being made redundant from the finance industry in Dubai spurred Huda on to follow her love of make-up and today, ten years after starting her Huda Beauty blog, the 36-year-old owns a billion-dollar cosmetics company, is worth an estimated $610m (£467m) and has almost 41 million Instagram followers. Such is her power that when Huda Beauty announced a pop-up in London’s Covent Garden last November, make-up lovers lined the streets to be among the first to shop there. Best of all, she’s doing it with her family – sisters and co-founders Mona and Alya, and her husband Christopher Goncalo, with whom…

It’s been a decade since the hit makeover show Ten Years Younger shocked audiences with its bold and often body-altering transformations. Contestants underwent Botox, veneers, facelifts and even breast enhancement surgery in an effort to reverse the effects of the clock on their bodies. Now it’s back – although presenter Cherry Healey says that in a new era of body positivity and acceptance, the show has had to have its own makeover. ‘I became absolutely sick to death of myself constantly trying to lose weight, worrying that my legs didn’t look like models’ legs’ “I wanted to make sure it wasn’t about age-shaming,” she tells HELLO! . “I didn’t want it to be about women trying to look younger because I don’t want to look younger. I’m 39 and really…

‘Very few people have done so much to entertain audiences over the decades’ Known for his warmth, charm and quick wit, Nicholas Parsons’s death last week at the age of 96 was a shock to many. The veteran actor, comedian and quizmaster, whose career spanned more than seven decades, had been working until the end, hosting BBC Radio 4’s long-running panel show Just a Minute , which he’d worked on since 1967. He was with his family – he had two children, Suzy and Justin, from his first marriage and had been married to his second wife Ann since 1995 – when he died following a short illness. Suzy described it as “a short and incredibly peaceful ending”, adding: “He was as sharp as a tack, it was quite extraordinary.…

‘It’s so humbling to hear the gratitude from people, despite what you have gone through. It’s heartbreaking to hear’ The Duchess As the world recalled the horrors of the Holocaust, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined survivors of the Second World War genocide and vowed to pass on their message to future generations.

And on a day filled with poignant memories, Kate was delighted to be reunited with the remarkable woman she had photographed to honour survivors.

‘When you’re talking about a slimmed-down monarchy it seems to be slimming down all by itself. It’s small and beautiful’ The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepping away from royal life has left Buckingham Palace and the public wondering which young royals could take their place. Last week, royal biographer Robert Lacey sparked a debate when he exclusively told HELLO! that he believed Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie were the obvious choice to step into Harry and Meghan’s shoes. “If two go out, two have got to come in, and those two have got to be Beatrice and Eugenie,” said Robert, who is historical consultant on Netflix royal drama The Crown . That view has since been supported by other royal experts, who agree that the Duke of York’s daughters…
