As two professional dancers, Amy Dowden and Ben Jones’s love story has played out on the dancefloor – their paths first crossed as each other’s dance partners and they got engaged mid-rumba on New Year’s Eve. But their most special dance yet took place when Strictly Come Dancing star Amy and her new husband shared their first as a married couple. And HELLO! was delighted to be there to join them – and a host of Strictly stars – as the happy couple said “I do” in a romantic celebration in the serene surroundings of Amy’s native Wales. “It was a day I’d dreamt of since I was a little girl and, well, it was even more than that,” Amy, 31, tells us in our exclusive interview. “Everything was perfect…

‘They have mutual friends’ Smiling happily for the cameras with their arms around each other, Damian Lewis and Alison Mosshart confirm their romance. The Billions actor, 51, and The Kills singer Alison, 43, looked relaxed on a night out at private members’ club The House of Koko’s summer party in London last week, having previously attended high-profile events together such as the Serpentine Summer Party and the British Grand Prix. This is Damian’s first relationship after the death of his actress wife Helen McCrory in April last year, and rumours about the new romance began when he and Alison were spotted at a fundraising event for the National Gallery in June, later travelling home on the Tube together. FAMILY BLESSINGS American-born Alison’s mother told a newspaper last week: “Of course…

When Damian Hurley graduated from drama school, his proud mother Elizabeth was, of course, by his side – but she wasn’t alone. Also doing the honours was businessman Arun Nayar, who was married to Elizabeth for four years before they divorced in 2011 and whom she has described as “Damian’s daddy and a good one”. The new graduate gave an insight into his relationship with his former stepfather on social media, sharing a photo taken with Arun and Elizabeth (left). “Mama and Daddyo at graduation with mee,” he wrote with a heart emoji. He also posted a selection of images from the day (right), including shots of the glamorous after-ceremony party. While Damian’s biological father was the businessman Steve Bing, who took his own life in 2020, he was closest…

Kate Beckinsale amped up the glam at the National Film Awards, collecting the Best Actress prize for her role in action comedy Jolt in a high-voltage Julien Macdonald gown. And it seems the 48-year-old star had an electric night, calling the London ceremony “probably the nicest award show I have ever been to” and thanking organisers for “a really lovely evening”. Also on sparkling form were fellow winners Sir Anthony Hopkins, the recipient of the Global Contribution to Motion Picture award, Professor T star Ben Miller and The Nan Movie’s Matthew Horne. The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former EastEnders actress Anita Dobson (left), which she called a “special honour”. Clearly delighted, she told the audience: “We all need that little bit of appreciation. I am so grateful and thankful.…

Carrie watches on as Boris Johnson resigns Less than three years after he took office, Boris Johnson announced last week he is stepping down as Prime Minister following a host of resignations from the Government. Speaking from Downing Street with his wife Carrie and their seven-month-old daughter Romy watching (inset above right), Boris said he was “immensely proud of the achievements of this Government”, but added: “In the last few days, I’ve tried to persuade my colleagues that it would be eccentric to change governments when we are delivering so much. I regret not to have been successful in those arguments. “But, as we’ve seen at Westminster, the herd instinct is powerful and when the herd moves, it moves.” He continued: “I know that there will be many people who…

‘The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s chemistry together is easily illustrated during these kisses and other PDAs at polo’ Sharing an affectionate kiss in the shadow of Windsor Castle, where their next exciting chapter of life is about to begin, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge showed once again that they are a winning team. They have been together for around two decades, and in April celebrated 11 years of wedded bliss, but as the royal couple exchanged intimate glances and tender embraces at the Royal Charity Polo Cup at Windsor’s Guards Polo Club last week, it was clear that they are more in love than ever. Dressed in an elegant white dress with black piping by Emilia Wickstead, a regular fashion favourite of the Duchess, Kate enthusiastically cheered on…

‘I’m fulfilling a lifelong ambition. I feel like I’ve been playing this role for years – just never professionally’ It’s more than two years since Kevin Clifton decided to leave Strictly Come Dancing and pursue a theatre career, but his two passions couldn’t be more closely intertwined than in his next major stage role: playing rebellious dancer Scott Hastings in Strictly Ballroom: The Musical. “It feels like I’m fulfilling a lifelong ambition,” he says. “When I was younger, me and a group of friends were obsessed with the movie. We’d have Strictly Ballroom parties and nominate who was going to play what character. I always had to play Scott Hastings, so I feel like I’ve been playing this role for years – just never professionally.” Joining Kevin will be EastEnders…

A picture-perfect riverside location, romance in the air and a spectacular diamond ring. It’s much like the setting for one of Carol Kirkwood’s novels when we meet the newly engaged BBC Breakfast weather presenter, who appears to have arranged glorious sunshine for our exclusive photoshoot to celebrate the publication of her latest book, The Hotel on the Riviera. “It is surreal,” she tells us of adding “author” to her already impressive CV. “To go into a shop and see your book with your name on it, thinking: ‘Wow, that’s me.’ But, of course, I don’t want to be caught staring at my own book, with people thinking: ‘Check her out!’” she says, laughing. A beautiful heiress, a neglected hotel in Cannes and a rare pink diamond ring are central to…

Naomi Campbell has gone from queen of the catwalk to model student after accepting an honorary doctorate from the University for Creative Arts for her contribution to the global fashion industry. The star strutted her stuff as she took centre stage at the ceremony, held at the Royal Festival Hall in London, but while used to showing off the world’s top designers’ latest creations, this time she was rocking very different accessories du jour… a mortar board and gown, which she wore over a beige Burberry jumpsuit. Overcome with emotion (below), the mum of one said: “I’m just thinking, yesterday I was on the runway doing Balenciaga,” referring to the couture catwalk show in Paris, in which she starred alongside Kim Kardashian, Dua Lipa and Nicole Kidman. “Never let anyone…

It’s no stretch to say any idea backed by Dragons’ Den star Rachel Watkyn is likely to have more than a sporting chance of success, but to make sure, she asked Strictly Come Dancing’s Katya Jones to lead a winning team supporting her latest venture, sustainable activewear retailer Chief & Turtle. Katya was joined by former competitive speed skater Sarah Lindsay (right) and fellow dancer Abbie Quinnen (inset left) as they celebrated the launch of the new line with breakfast at Petersham Nursery Courtyard in London. Wearing a People Tree dress that she first debuted on social media in spring 2021, Katya posed alongside items from Chief & Turtle’s debut collection (far left), which features clothing from leading ethical brands. In July 2019, the sustainability champion and anti-fast-fashion campaigner challenged…

As a successful West End star, Alexandra Burke is used to a full house. And now she has her own, thanks to the arrival of her first child. Posting a photo of a pair of tiny feet (right) on social media, the singer and her partner, West Ham and Ireland goalkeeper Darren Randolph, captioned it: “Welcome to the world our little grape. We already love you more than words can say.” Alex and Darren got together last year, with one source saying that the footballer “wore her down” with his charm. The couple, who also have five dogs between them, announced the pregnancy in February. “Such an exciting time ahead,” Alexandra told fans.

‘A team of volunteers, headed by former Olympic champion rower Sir Steve Redgrave, organised a river clean-up operation following the Henley Royal Regatta. Using paddleboards, a group of local rowers, pupils, parents and teachers collected, sorted and disposed of the rubbish left during the sporting event. This comes to the heart of what HELLO! is about – kindness. This is what doing kindness looks like. These people are giving up their time, picking up litter and having fun and connecting with others at the same time. I recently became an ambassador for the Canal & River Trust and one of the things I’m really passionate about is looking after our waterways. The pandemic made me appreciate the importance of our rivers and canals. You can walk along them, you can…

Together with Clarins, HELLO! believes #itshightime we break the taboo of the menopause and normalise what should be an empowering stage of life for women. After all, the more we talk, the more we can support one another to navigate this time of transition. Confidence in our appearance plays a huge part; as well as more widely discussed symptoms, many women start to notice that their complexion changes, with dehydration, a loss of firmness and an increase in fine lines appearing. Recognising this – and following years of pioneering research within its lab – Clarins has reformulated its best-selling Super Restorative range to improve the way it treats the effects of menopause on the skin. The new formulae combine organic harungana extract, proven to be as effective as retinol in…

The Platinum Jubilee, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s 40th birthdays – it has been quite the year for royal milestones. And the latest was the golden wedding anniversary of the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. Richard, the Queen’s cousin, celebrated with his wife Birgitte at their home in Kensington Palace. To mark the occasion, a new portrait of the pair (right), taken in the palace gardens, has been released. Pinned to her dress, the Duchess is wearing one of her most treasured pieces of jewellery, a brooch with the initials R and B intertwined, designed by her husband. The photo was released on social media, with the official royal family Instagram account posting best wishes to the couple. They married in 1972, six years after Richard graduated from Cambridge,…

PIPPA MIDDLETON Graduates with master’s in children’s activity The Duchess of Cambridge’s younger sister Pippa Middleton is to graduate with distinction after studying for a master’s degree in physical education, sport and physical literacy from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. The Duchess of Cambridge’s 38-year-old sister, who is said to be pregnant with her third child, carried out her research on how parents encourage their children into activity from a young age. “I wanted to learn to not only help my own children, but to also continue work in the field to stress the importance of children moving from an early age,” she said. Calling her a “star student”, the university said Pippa had brought a “unique perspective to the study as a parent and scholar”. JAMES CAAN…

‘The absolute centrepiece of the display is Her Majesty’s coronation dress and robe — they are both historic and exquisite’ Visitors to Windsor Castle this summer will be able to see a special exhibition marking the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and celebrating one of the most momentous occasions in her reign – the coronation, which took place on 2 June 1953. The exhibition is situated in the magnificent setting of St George’s Hall and the adjacent Lantern Lobby in the State Apartments at Windsor Castle. The coronation was such a historic event I think many of us are able to recall a snapshot of it in our mind’s eye, even if we were not around at the time. It was the first coronation to be televised and most people have glimpsed…

There are few things Ruth Langsford likes better than getting together with her girlfriends and putting the world to rights. “One of my great joys in life is to get together with really good friends to drink prosecco and have a laugh,” the Loose Women star tells hello! in our exclusive shoot. “We reminisce and we have a great time and it’s so rejuvenating.

LIFE AFTER LOSS We all experience grief at some point in our lives, and yet talking openly about the different stages and living with loss in the long term is still not commonplace. In fact, according to the UK Commission on Bereavement, 39% of bereaved people report difficulties in getting support from friends or family. Now mental health coach Christopher Spriggs and Jess Smallwood from the Mariposa Trust, which supports those who have experienced the loss of a baby in pregnancy, at birth or in infancy, have come together to co-author Grief, Loss and How to Cope: A Self-Help Guide for Difficult Times to help people through feelings of grief and loss.
