Model and wellness advocate Karen Koramshai has what could be easily defined as an enviable lifestyle. She lives with her multimillionaire husband and three children in a five-bedroomed mock-Tudor house – once home to the Spice Girls – that is set in five acres of landscaped gardens with stunning views across the Sussex countryside. “As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it,” Karen, 42, says, opening the doors exclusively to HELLO!, coincidentally in the same week Geri Horner, Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown and Emma Bunton reportedly held a secret meeting to discuss a new world tour. “My husband was like: ‘Play it cool,’ but by the end of the viewing, I was drinking champagne with the owner. So much for playing it cool.” ‘All five Spice…

Known for her stellar performances in films as diverse as Eternals and Frida, Salma Hayek certainly has star power – she even has a role in House of Gucci, about a brand that her husband François-Henri Pinault owns. Now she is the latest actress to be celebrated with an actual star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, unveiling it during a ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard. Calling it “a great honour and also very healing”, the 55-year-old recalled how she had endured racist remarks early in her US career, and even had to escape a knife attack on that very street. “If you ask yourself what gave me the courage to stay, it was you,” she told fans who had gathered to watch. The Mexican star was joined at the ceremony…

ADELE Persuades Spotify to ditch shuffle option Music superstar Adele has persuaded the streaming platform Spotify to remove the shuffle option on album pages so musicians’ songs are played in the order the artist intended.

She brought female football into the spotlight and made history by becoming the first woman to front the BBC’s Football Focus. But behind the scenes, 37-year-old former Arsenal and England star Alex Scott has been fighting the pain from osteoarthritis in both ankles. “I had my first major injury in 2011 – a slide-tackle in training led to a rolled ankle – and I rushed back to play in the World Cup in Germany. That became chronic pain that I had to manage throughout the rest of my career. The extent of the damage was that I now have osteoarthritis,” she tells HELLO!. “Like most athletes, I would never look back with regret because I still managed to play in two Euros, another World Cup and the Olympics afterwards.

‘To step into the boots of my late father-in-law is frankly terrifying!’ A glamorous Duchess of Cornwall paid tribute to her late father-in-law when she attended the Rifles Awards dinner last week. Looking elegant in a fitted, floor-length black gown, which she teamed with an eye-catching emerald and diamond necklace and matching earrings, the Duchess made a showstopping entrance at the event, held at the City of London’s Guildhall last Wednesday night.

Matching Camilla for style was the Countess of Wessex, who attended in her…

STAR SCENT It’s here. Singer and beauty mogul Rihanna’s new fragrance has landed and it doesn’t disappoint. A warm, sexy skin scent, Fenty Eau de Parfum, (£130 for 75ml; visit fentybeauty.com) is a heady mix of floral and woody aromas.

If I’m going to make a fragrance that represents me, the body language of the bottle needs to marry that.” Since launching Stateside in August, stores have struggled to keep supplies on the shelves, so we’re expecting it to sell out here, too.

So when it came to penning her first novel since the death of her movie producer love in 2019, the Leeds-born author – still as sprightly at ever at the age of 88 – admits she struggled at first.

But I knew I had a book to write…
