Whether suited and booted for his dad’s wedding day or giving a witty woolly a whirl, David Beckham never has an off season when it comes to style. The former footballer showcased two very different looks and managed to pull off both with panache. Embracing the Christmas jumper tradition, David paid tribute to his designer wife Victoria’s pop past with a Spice World pullover that won her approval (above). “Yep, I’m a fan,” he wrote on Instagram, while Victoria also posted the photo and said: “Now that’s a Christmas jumper Mr Beckham!” Victoria’s post caught the eye of two of her former bandmates – Melanie Chisholm along with Emma Bunton, who called it the “Best Christmas jumper ever”. Days later, the jumper was relegated as David pulled out all the…

As one of the UK’s most in-demand TV presenters, a fitness guru and mum of three, Davina McCall is used to juggling schedules – so who better to help present ITV’s forthcoming line-up at the channel’s big reveal for the new year. There to represent hit series The Masked Singer, on which she is a judge, Davina was part of a line-up of some of ITV’s best-loved faces at the event in London. Posing for photos, she added some sparkle in an ice-blue ruched mini dress by Alexandre Vauthier (right) and wore her hair braided – a look she first showed us on Instagram last month. Also at the socially distanced celebration were Phillip Schofield, Olly Murs, and Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. The popular presenting pair will be adding…

As his new single topped the charts, Ed Sheeran treated revellers at London’s O2 Arena to his first live performance of Merry Christmas, the festive song he wrote with his friend Sir Elton John. But as well as celebrating reaching No. 1, the singer-songwriter is looking forward to watching his 16-month-old daughter Lyra open her Christmas goodies, according to presenter Sian Welby, who shares the backstage gossip from Capital Radio’s Jingle Bell Ball in this exclusive interview with hello!. “Ed strikes me as someone who really enjoys being a dad – his face glows when he talks about Lyra,” says Sian, who hosted the star-studded show with her Capital Breakfast co-stars Roman Kemp and Sonny Jay. “We surprised him with a little Christmas jumper for her and he seemed genuinely…

Olympic gold medallist Rebecca Adlington can’t wait to celebrate nine-month-old son Albie’s first Christmas with new husband Andy Parsons and her six-year-old daughter Summer from her first marriage. “I’m very much looking forward to Albie’s first Christmas, cuddling up with him and watching a festive movie at home,” Becky, 32, tells HELLO!. “Everything first in his life is very special. The other day, when he saw snow for the first time, he was enthralled. “He’s crawling so fast now that he’s like a little ninja – you blink and he’s gone. He’s so interested in the baubles on the Christmas tree that he keeps crawling over to touch them and wants to pull them off. “He loves following Summer around, too, and tries to pull himself up so he can…

Prince William and Kate, who celebrated their landmark anniversary on 29 April, have proved themselves to be a winning team this year both on and off the royal stage. The couple marked their milestone by releasing two new photos taken outside their Kensington Palace home, in which their loving bond was palpable as they smiled and wrapped their arms around each other. As they prepare to become King and Queen one day, their public profile as the fresh, relatable face of the monarchy has continued to grow while they support the Queen and take on more responsibility than ever. After a…

It was a bumper year for Windsor babies, with no fewer than four new additions bringing joy to the family amid challenging times. The months before Harry and Meghan’s little Lilibet made her appearance in June saw the arrival of Princess Eugenie’s firstborn, August, in February and Zara Tindall’s third, Lucas, in March. When Princess Beatrice became a mum, welcoming Sienna in September, she raised the grand total of the Queen’s great-grandchildren to a round dozen. The births were perfectly timed to bring comfort and cheer to Her Majesty as she faced the loss of her beloved husband Prince Philip. And if his passing marked the end of an era for the dynasty, the burgeoning of this youngest generation suggests a whole new one beginning. Touchingly, all of the babies’…

Finding fame in the UK thanks to her time on Blue Peter, Konnie Huq has now gone global. Starring in the ultimate festive photoshoot, the presenter was captured inside a snow globe with sons Covey, nine, and Huxley, seven, from her marriage to satirist Charlie Brooker, for the Give Back January campaign. The trio entered their very own winter wonderland to shake up attitudes and create more than a flurry of interest in the initiative from Recycle Your Electricals, which aims to persuade people to donate or recycle unwanted electrical items. “My family and I love Christmas. We also love tech – particularly my husband – so we often buy each other electrical items as gifts,” she said. But this year, she added: “We’ll be hunting out all our unwanted…

Witha rapt audience and incredible presence, this year’s Nord off Robbins festive fundraiser had all the elements for seasonal success – thanks in no small part to Sir Rod Stewart. Headlining the music therapy charity’s carol service in London, the 76-year-old singer took it to church – literally – with a rousing performance at St Luke’s in Chelsea, joined by acts including Nile Rodgers, who hosted. Promising “a festive night like no other”, Sir Rod was “thrilled” to be sharing the joy of Christmas while doing his bit for a worthwhile cause. Not content with lighting up the stage, he later lit up his Christmas tree with the help of various branches of the family. With Lady Stewart by his side, Rod posed with four of his eight children –…

There’s no need to ask “what’s occurring” in the life of Gavin & Stacey star Joanna Page as she couldn’t help but share her happiness. Just in time for Christmas, the actress and presenter has given birth to her fourth child – a girl. She shared the news on social media, treating followers to a photo of her cuddling the newborn (left). “Welcome to our family Boe Willow Russell,” she wrote. “We love you with all our hearts.” Uploading the same image, Joanna’s husband of 18 years, voiceover actor and former Emmerdale star James Thornton (right with Joanna), added: “She is here! Our wonderful girl.” Boe joins Eva, eight, Kit, six, and five-year-old Noah, as well as the family pets Lola and Bess. Joanna, 44, shared news of her pregnancy…

Actor Colin Salmon steamed into his 61st year in luxurious style, enjoying a day out on the legendary British Pullman train with his wife Fiona Hawthorne. The Intelligence star and Fiona (together right) had Christmas lunch inside the Cygnus carriage, designed for the British Pullman by Hollywood film director Wes Anderson. “We just laughed all day – it really was quite spectacular,” Colin says of the special trip, a surprise 60th birthday gift from Fiona, his wife of 33 years. “The whole train ride experience was very romantic.” Artist Fiona (below left, painting her husband’s portrait during the trip), who has interstitial lung disease, a rare condition that makes it difficult for oxygen to enter her bloodstream, says: “The carriage was really beautiful – it felt like you were appreciating…

‘We’ve had such a brilliant year with Wolfie coming into our lives’ Amid the twinkling lights and abundance of sparkling festive decorations which have transformed Binky Felstead’s home into a magical wonderland, there is a very special little star who will be the centre of attention on 25 December. “We are so looking forward to Wolfie’s first Christmas,” says the 31-year-old adoring mum as she welcomes hello! to join the excitement in the countdown to the big day at the south-west London house she shares with businessman husband Max Fredrik Darnton, their cute six month-old son, her four-year-old daughter India, and their lively wirehaired vizsla Pedro – who is making a bid for star role as he bounds into as many of the festive photos as he can. berries and…

This time of year can be tough for staff working on Teenage Cancer Trust wards. But as Hanna, 38, a lead nurse who works on a Teenage Cancer Trust unit, tells HELLO! it is also a “privilege” to spend time with young patients while they are in hospital over the festive season. As HELLO!’s special Christmas appeal, in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust, reaches its final few weeks, Hanna tells us why donating to the charity will make such a difference to so many lives. “People come to us at the most challenging time of their lives, when their whole world has changed almost in a moment,” she says. “And we are privileged as nurses and as support staff to care for those young people and their families. We…

I want to wish everybody a very merry, safe and happy Christmas and New Year. It is a time for coming together, laughter and kindness and that’s what I wish for you. This year I am supporting The Book Trust’s #JustOneBook Christmas appeal, which encourages people to donate £10 to send surprise festive book parcels to vulnerable children. As a mum of two, I have seen the impact reading has on mental health, confidence, imagination and creativity. Reading doesn’t always have to be for education – books allow kids to feel safe and they provide fun, comfort and escapism. It breaks my heart that a child might not have access to a book. We sometimes take it for granted that we have access to books; not everyone does. This is…

Sienna Miller has a new look – hello, tousled bob – and her sleek Gucci suit is a far cry from the boho style she’s become synonymous with. The Factory Girl star attended the Mothers2Mothers 20th-anniversary gala in London looking chic in a pink suit finished with black piping and marabou feathers, teamed with black sandals and a box clutch. And her new choppy do was set off perfectly by a strong red lip. Simply stunning.…

As an award-winning actress and mum to a young son, Sheridan Smith is looking forward to the day her little boy can enjoy her work on screen. But at only 19 months old, Billy will have to wait a little longer to enjoy her latest role – the wicked witch from Hansel and Gretel. “I haven’t shown my son me as the witch, I think he’d be too scared,” says the 40-year-old star with a laugh. “Even I was shocked – I forgot I was in full costume and made myself jump in the bathroom mirror. “They put latex over my face and squeezed it to bring out all these wrinkles. It’s not very flattering. I sent my mates pictures and they said they couldn’t even recognise me.” ‘I never…

‘Our mother’s love, strength and character made her a force for good around the world’ It was the day that two royal brothers came together to honour the memory of their mother – and paved the way for a possible reconciliation after months of conflict. The Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex put their differences aside to mark the 60th birthday of Diana, Princess of Wales on 1 July, when they unveiled her long-awaited statue at Kensington Palace. While Diana, who died in 1997, will always be a youthful 36 years old in the hearts of fans, the milestone birthday brought a new wave of interest in her life, proving that she remains as relevant as ever. The many stage and screen productions centred on her showed how…

LADY LOUISE TAKES THE REINS Lady Louise Windsor, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Wessex, celebrated her 18th birthday on 8 November. A favourite with her grandmother the Queen and with Prince Philip, who taught her carriage driving, it’s thought that Louise – known for her quiet self-assurance and calm demeanour – could play a key part at Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations next year, though her A-levels will be her chief focus. MIA TINDALL RAISES THE FUN FACTOR If anyone needs reminding that even on grey days there is fun to be had, Mia Tindall is just the girl for the job. Mike and Zara Tindall’s eldest, who turned seven in January, was pictured (left) trying out her winning grin inside that of a pumpkin during a Halloween…

JAMES AND ALIZEE SAY ‘I DO’ IN A CHIC FRENCH CEREMONY James Middleton and Alizée Thevenet couldn’t have looked happier together during their September wedding on the Côte d’Azur. “It was wonderful to finally celebrate with family and friends despite the challenges of a global pandemic,” James, the Duchess of Cambridge’s brother, told us as he and Alizée shared details of the ceremony, the bride’s gorgeous gown – originally worn by her new mother-in-law Carole – and the beachside reception.

Their beloved dogs Ella and Mabel were flower girls. ‘It was wonderful to finally celebrate with family and friends,’ the Duchess of Cambridge’s brother told us…

‘REST AND PEACE’ PRESCRIBED FOR PRINCESS CHARLENE A trip back to her South African homeland sadly turned into many months away for Princess Charlene of Monaco. The 43-year-old developed an ear, nose and throat infection requiring several operations. When she finally returned to Monaco in November she posed delightedly with her family (above), but soon withdrew from the principality on medical advice that she needed “rest and peace”, according to her husband Prince Albert. Speaking to People magazine he said: “We all love her, and only want the best for her.” A COMING-OF-AGE STORY Following Dutch tradition, heir to the throne Princess Catharina-Amalia’s 18th birthday on 7 December was marked with the release of a biography, written by showbiz star Claudia de Breij.

Wrapped up against the cold, the group had a (snow)ball enjoying Christmassy activities such as sleigh rides with reindeer and posing for photos against the magical backdrop (left). Sharing photos and video on Instagram, Georgina said she was “the happiest mum in the world” with Cristiano Jr, 11, four-year-old twins Eva and Mateo and Alana, also four. She added: “We couldn’t have enjoyed it more,” while another post read simply: “With love from the North Pole.” There was more fun to be had back home, when the youngsters joined Cristiano and five-months-pregnant Georgina to reveal the sex of the twins…

She wore royal purple for the London premiere of her new film House of Gucci (right) and now Lady Gaga is hoping to reign at the Golden Globes. The nominations for next year’s awards were revealed this month and the singer and actress is up for Best Actress in a Drama Film.

EMERALDS & IVY BALL WHO: Ronan and Storm Keating, Michelle Heaton, James Nesbit, Ferne McCann, Ade Adepitan, Demi Jones WHAT: The Emeralds & Ivy Ball WHERE: Old Billingsgate, London After being sidelined by the pandemic last year, the Keating family’s annual fundraiser was back to raise much-needed money for cancer awareness.

The modern royal family have always used their position to focus people’s minds on the pressing issues of the day. And increasingly they see the environment and the future of the planet as the most crucial of causes. In October the Duke of Cambridge unveiled the first winners of his visionary Earthshot Prize for innovative climate change solutions. As he told the BBC: “I want the things that I’ve enjoyed – the outdoor life, nature, the environment – I want that to still be there for my children. And not just my children, but everyone else’s children.” As well as drawing on the steady support of his wife the Duchess, Prince William told how he has learnt from the more than five decades of pioneering work done by his father…
