His passion and drive have seen Lewis Hamilton achieve several firsts in 2020, equalling Michael Schumacher’s record of seven Formula 1 world championships, as well as overtaking the number of Grands Prix the legendary driver won in his career. Lewis was also voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year – for the second time – and last week, his achievements went up a gear yet again as he was awarded a knighthood in the New Year Honours list. “I could only ever have dreamt of being where I am today,” the Hertfordshire-born racer – who turns 36 this week – has said of his success, from a childhood growing up on a Stevenage council estate to becoming one of our most successful sportsmen, amassing an estimated £209m fortune along the…

‘Joe with our boys, in my favourite place in the world… He asked me to marry him’ Beaming as she showed off the huge diamond sparkler on her wedding finger, Stacey Solomon revealed that Christmas had come a day early – as her long-term boyfriend Joe Swash surprised her by popping the question on 24 December. “He asked me to marry him,” the Loose Women panellist wrote on Instagram, displaying her engagement ring and telling her 3.9m followers about the proposal in the woods near the home the couple share with their 19-month-old son Rex and Stacey’s two boys Zachary, 12, and Leighton, eight. “Today we went for a walk in the woods… Like we always do. But it didn’t look the same – actually full-on blubbering as I write…

More than 400,000 people pledged to take part in Veganuary last year and, while the emphasis is usually on a meat- and dairy-free diet, the demand for vegan beauty is increasing, too. How can we decipher if a product or brand truly lives up to the vegan label? Look for The Vegan Society’s Vegan Trademark – a sunflower – which guarantees it contains no animal ingredients or by-products and has undergone no animal testing. Remember that a product can be cruelty free but its ingredients may not be vegan. And a product can legally be called vegan even if its ingredients have been tested on animals. The most recognised cruelty-free logo is Peta’s leaping bunny. When it comes to ingredients in your beauty faves, watch out for squalene and beeswax,…

‘2020 gave me Gigi so it will always be a good year because of that’ Making a splash in the Caribbean, Vogue Williams proved that while she may have been on her annual end-of-year holiday, it didn’t mean a break from keeping fit. Displaying her toned physique just five months after welcoming baby daughter Gigi, the DJ and presenter wore a sporty ensemble of shorts and a sports bra and shielded her eyes from the sun in a pair of chic shades as she took a jog along the white-sand beach. The star, also mum to two-year-old son Theodore with entrepreneur husband Spencer Matthews, was in St Barts, where Spencer’s parents live; they own luxury resort Eden Rock. “I’m pretty happy they live there, it’s an absolutely joyous place to…

The glitter had barely settled from Strictly Come Dancing’s dazzling final last month when Motsi Mabuse found herself dashing back to Germany to celebrate Christmas with her husband, Evgenij Voznyuk, and their two-year-old daughter. In what she described as “another thriller of 2020”, Motsi raced home on the same evening as the final before tighter travel restrictions came into force in the UK and, luckily, she made it home in the nick of time. “We spent Christmas for the first time at home, just us three. It was intimate, quiet and precious,” the South African dancer and Strictly judge tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview. “My husband dressed as Father Christmas and we acted it all out [for their daughter]. My sisters and I didn’t have that as kids, so…

We are all proud of his tenacious ambition and the daring he has shown throughout his life.” Characterised by his space-age collections and geometric silhouettes, Pierre Cardin’s career spanned seven decades and he became a favourite couturier for a galaxy of stars, including actress Raquel Welch, supermodel Naomi Campbell, film icons Brigitte Bardot and Rita Hayworth, and Argentina’s former First Lady Eva Perón. Pierre’s cutting-edge clothes, which exemplified the experimental, forward-thinking 1960s and ’70s, were also worn by…

The Prince of Wales has criticised intensive farming, saying it “is polluting us as well as nature’s own ecosystems”. “If you introduced a polluter-pays system, it would instantly start to get us onto the right track, let’s put it that way,” Prince Charles told Canadian novelist Margaret Atwood, who guest-edited an edition of the BBC Radio 4 Today show last week. He also spoke about the challenges he faced when he began discussing environmental and conservation issues in the 1970s. “No one really wanted to know at the time. I think they thought I was completely dotty. “I was witnessing the destruction of so much natural habitat – the grubbing up of hedgerows, cutting down of trees, draining of wetlands, the whole works – and at the same time, the…

DI Isabel Blood stood at the edge of the crime scene with DS Daniel Fairfax, the newest member of Bainbridge CID. “Ready to tackle your first murder investigation here in Bainbridge, Dan?” she said. “Ready as I’ll ever be.” He smiled nervously as he pulled on gloves and protective shoe coverings. “I didn’t have to wait long, I’ll say that.” The house they’d been called to was a sprawling 1930s semi in the leafiest and most salubrious part of town. A female officer was on scene guard at the front door. “Ma’am; Sarge,” she said. “It’s through there, in the kitchen. Forensics are here already.” “Who called it in?” said Isabel. “The victim’s son-in-law, Colin Balderton. He’s in the living room, waiting to talk to you.” ‘The first officers on…
