‘I don’t know if you have seen, but your cake is famous’ When Kerry Pearce answered a last-minute request to make a cake for a community project, she never could have dreamt who the creation was actually for. It wasn’t until after Kerry, 47 this week, had worked round the clock to finish the fondant-topped bake that she learnt it had been admired by none other than the Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duchess of Cambridge – and that Her Majesty had made the first cut with a ceremonial sword. The triple-layer vanilla and strawberry jam sponge with vanilla butter icing looked so enticing that the Queen commented: “That looks very good,” when she saw it at the Eden Project’s Big Lunch celebration last week. Kerry’s road to…

Having a baby in lockdown has been “far from easy”, JLS band member Marvin Humes tells HELLO! when we catch up for an exclusive chat. But with plenty to look forward to this summer – including staycations and hosting dinner parties while he and wife Rochelle wait for foreign travel to open up – he’s hoping that eight-month-old Blake will get the chance to get out and about more and “adapt” to the changes. “Before, he was really clingy to us because he just wasn’t seeing many people,” says the star of his lockdown baby, a little brother to Alaia-Mai, eight, and Valentina, four. No doubt family time has involved watching the Uefa European Championship, with Marvin hoping his boy will share his love of football. “[Blake’s] got lots of…

REBEKAH AND JAMIE VARDY A DREAM TEAM ON PARADISE GETAWAY Few things can match the thrill of representing your country playing the sport you love. But former England footballer Jamie Vardy managed to find a good substitute as he enjoyed a sun-soaked break with the woman who is always in his corner: his wife Rebekah. Clearly on top of her away game, the model and mum shared pictures of paradise on Instagram, including one of her in a peach-coloured bikini (left). She also showed her paddleboarding prowess (below left) while another featured the Leicester City forward giving her a piggyback in the clear waters (below right). “Ride or Die,” the caption read. The couple, who have six children between them, recently celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary, with Rebekah paying tribute…

PRIYANKA CHOPRA JONAS Actress joins new faces of lingerie brand Actress Priyanka Chopra has joined Victoria’s Secret as an ambassador and podcast guest for the VS Collective, a project to reshape the company’s image.

‘My hope for today is to show that change needs to happen and the time for action is now. I truly believe big change starts small’ Not even a torrential downpour could dampen the Duchess of Cambridge’s spirits last week as she launched a major new initiative that will shape her future royal work. Sheltering beneath a rainbow-coloured umbrella, Kate smiled broadly as she left Kensington Palace to kick-start her new early years research unit, which she hopes will “transform lives for generations to come”. The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood is the culmination of a decade of work by the Duchess and will focus on how the first five years of a child’s life can have a profound effect on their later life. Introducing the project last week,…

‘Women want freedom after this long lockdown’ Maria Grazia Chiuri It was one of the first major fashion shows to be held after more than a year of global lockdowns. So it was fitting that the names of those attending Dior’s Cruise presentation in Athens matched the scale of the occasion. Leading the glamorous arrivals was Anya Taylor-Joy. The British actress wowed with her wardrobe in The Queen’s Gambit and she stole the (fashion) show at the Panathenaic Stadium in the Greek capital – the venue in 1896 for the first modern Olympics – in a gold Grecian-style gown. Other front-row guests included supermodel Cara Delevingne and actress Suki Waterhouse, Beatrice Borromeo and her husband, Monegasque royal Pierre Casiraghi, and legendary French screen star Catherine Deneuve. Dior creative director Maria…

Millie Mackintosh takes a measured approach to healthy living. “Do what you enjoy and love,” she says. “It should never feel like a punishment. Forcing yourself to do something that you hate is not a healthy habit.” After welcoming her daughter Sienna last summer with fellow Made in Chelsea alumnus Hugo Taylor and now expecting their second later this year, Millie has a new appreciation for her body. “I feel very lucky. I see the scars and changes, and it doesn’t quite look the same, but I’m really proud of what I’ve done. It’s incredible to see what the body can do.” Here, the 31-year-old, an advocate for food supplement Symprove, chats to HELLO! about her postnatal journey during lockdown… Millie, you became a first-time mum during lockdown: what has…

Annabel Karmel wrote her debut book after her first child, Natasha, died aged just three months from encephalitis. It motivated her to support parents and help them give their children the best start nutritionally. The Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner was published in 1991, and Annabel has followed that with 46 more cookbooks, describing them as “my legacy to baby Natasha”. Here, Annabel talks exclusively to HELLO! about the inspiration behind that first book – sharing recipes from a new anniversary edition – and tells how she keeps her ideas fresh, healthy and tasty after 30 years… Annabel, how did it all start? ‘It’s amazing to hear of generations of families returning to my books’ “I actually started my career as a harpist, but my change of direction into nutrition…

When we speak to lingerie designer Damaris Evans, she’s sitting in the bathroom of her 500-year-old French farmhouse. “This is probably the nicest bathroom I’ve ever been in,” she says. “The views from the bath extend all the way to the Pyrenees.” Her parents bought the property in the small village of Fauroux, in southern France, in 1969. When her father died ten years ago, Damaris decided to take it on. “The location is actually a bit of a secret space, a kind of undiscovered part of France,” she smiles. “A lot of international artists live here. There is quite an eccentric bohemian crowd, and lots of interesting musicians visit. “It’s not a grand chateau. The doorways are really small; it’s a medieval building. The farmers who owned it before…

'We had times of annoying each other in lockdown, but it was fabulous' Anne One person who will be celebrating the return of Anne Robinson to our TV screens this week is her daughter, Emma Wilson. “It’s a lifesaver,” she says of her mother’s new job as the host of Countdown , the long-running Channel 4 daytime programme. “She was driving us all crazy because she was bored – she’s terrible when she’s idle. But suddenly she has a skip in her step, and we’ve got Anne Robinson back.” We are talking in the large, light-filled living room of Anne’s beautifully converted Cotswolds barn where Emma, 50, husband Liam Kan and sons Hudson, 12, and Parker, 11, along with their two English setters, spent most of lockdown. “They arrived just…

‘Starting a family is something we’ve been talking about… we definitely want to be parents’ After eight years lighting up the Strictly Come Dancing floor, Janette Manrara is waltzing away from the show that made her a household name. And, as she looks forward to a new career as a presenter on its spin-off show, she is also contemplating another role altogether. Janette, 37, has made no secret of her desire to become a mother and she hopes stepping down from her physically demanding role as a Strictly professional dancer will allow her and husband Aljaz Skorjanec, 31, a fellow dancer on the show, to fulfil that dream. “Starting a family is something we have been talking about for a while now, and dancing was something I really had to…

In the course of her sparkling career, June Sarpong has interviewed Princes, Presidents and Prime Ministers, partied with the A-list and received an OBE for her services to broadcasting. And the TV presenter, activist and author has plenty more to tick off her bucket list. “I want to visit every single African country,” June, who has Ghanaian heritage, tells HELLO! in our exclusive interview. “It will be about meeting people, the art and the food. Africa has had such misrepresentation in the world, so to be able to tell a more honest story of the continent would be lovely.” As far as once-in-a-lifetime experiences go, June already has a fair few under her belt. Recently, she hosted a conversation between two of the world’s most influential figures, former US President…
