‘IS TRINNY MORPHING INTO NIGELLA?’ Trinny Woodall and Nigella Lawson may not appear overly similar at a first glance, but they may have more in common than we thought. Trinny, 54, who has been in a relationship with Nigella’s ex-husband Charles Saatchi since meeting not long after he and Nigella split, seems to be slowly morphing into the famous TV cook. Culinary queen Nigella, 58, left Charles, 75, in 2013 after he was pictured apparently grabbing her throat outside London restaurant Scott’s. Six weeks after their divorce, Charles and Trinny enjoyed a date at the same restaurant. The fashion guru’s plumped-up face is looking more and more like Nigella’s – she’s admitted to facial peels and Botox injections – and both women get their locks blow-dried weekly. Trinny’s chest has…

LIKE A VIRGIN Madonna’s first (and still one of her most) iconic looks occurred when she took to the stage for the first ever MTV Video Music Awards in 1984, wearing a lacy wedding dress, belt and 80s hair. THAT CONE BRA During her Blonde Ambition tour in 1990, Madge wore this infamous cone bra by Jean-Paul Gaultier – one of her favourite designers. IN BED WITH MADONNA A sexy stripped-back shot for the documentary, which followed the star on tour. RAY OF LIGHT Madonna toned it right down for her Ray of Light music video, wearing double denim, natural hair and minimal make-up. GOLD STAR Here, she reinvented herself with long, raven locks and a stunning sunshine yellow ball gown. NOW Despite being a mum-of-six…

Woman agony aunt Suzie says: When a traumatic experience such as miscarriage happens, it’s normal and common for us to retreat – to curl up in a ball, and not want to think let alone talk about it. It’s easy to feel such an event was unique to us, and maybe all our own fault, and staying quiet can worsen these feelings. Actually, Zara has bravely done not only herself but so many others a favour in finally talking out. When you talk, you discover you are not alone but that so many other people have been there too, and can understand and sympathise. * For more support, visit miscarriageassociation.org.uk…

ADVICE Dr Gigi Taguri, director of medical technology at Lloyds Pharmacy Online Doctor gives us the lowdown on taking them DO * Only take antibiotics if they are prescribed for you. * Finish the course, even if you feel better, otherwise the infection may not be fully treated and it could return. DON’T * Skip doses. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, then continue your course as normal. However, if it’s almost time for the next dose, just skip the missed dose – don’t take a double dose to make up for a missed one. * Save some of your antibiotics for the next time you get sick. * Take an antibiotic that has been prescribed for somebody else. * And don’t…

MY GRANDSON WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME My grandson, who is three, will have nothing to do with me. This isn’t a phase, as his behaviour towards me has been like this for a year now. He’s very loving towards my partner and his parents but acts very differently towards me. If I try to cuddle him he pushes me away and tells me he doesn’t like me. Sometimes he lashes out and whatever I do, nothing makes any difference. My daughter sweeps the problem under the carpet. He is very loving to everyone else, he gets on well with other children, is doing well at nursery, and has a stable home life. I am worried that his baby sister will copy his behaviour. I’m heartbroken. Suzie says: When…

Does it always have to lead to sex? Q Lately, I’ve been going through a really bad time at work, and my boyfriend’s been so amazing – listening, talking, helping me make decisions. But every time, it ends up in bed. I love the sex, but sometimes I just need listening to. I’d just like one occasion when my needing support didn’t mean our making out! Susan says: A For many, comfort is around physical touch. There’s a saying that women need to feel loved in order to have sex, but men need to have sex to feel loved. Your man may think emotional closeness goes hand in hand with sexual closeness. Tell him how you feel – that sometimes you want a cuddle, not sex. I FEEL PRESSURE TO…

It’s at Blenheim Palace for the third year and all the presenters are in different areas. I’m in the Village Green area, where I basically get to play games and eat picnics! There’s been a hunt for a young Countryfile presenter, hasn’t there? Yes, we ran a competition for eight to 15-year-olds and had thousands of children sending in stuff shot on phones and iPads. The winners are filming a piece at Countryfile Live. How did you first get into wildlife and nature? When I was growing up in Bradford, we…

A royal insider once told Woman that it was Meghan Markle’s ‘non-conformist’ ways that drew Prince Harry to her. ‘He loved that she didn’t fit the mould and that, to an extent, his mum’s legacy lived on.’ But, almost three months after the happy couple tied the knot in an unforgettable ceremony at Windsor Castle, the spotlight has been shone on the 37-year-old Duchess of Sussex like never before. Our royal insider tells us, ‘This last couple of months have been really tough on Meghan and she is beside herself over the way her life has changed. In the run-up to the wedding it was all anticipation and excitement. But now she feels that every way she turns she is being lambasted.’ And, with a royal tour of Australia fast…

When we’re poorly, the first thing we want is medical advice. And these days our options are mind-boggling. We can visit countless health websites online, book an appointment with a virtual doctor, call 111 to talk to a human on the end of a phone or even use an AI (artificial intelligence) doctor on platforms such as Babylon. Want to see someone? We can visit urgent care centres or if we’re very ill head to our local A&E. But what about the old-fashioned idea of seeing the same doctor face-to-face, year on year? Well, for many, actually visiting the GP’s surgery is a bit of a hassle, but also many practices these days have a range of doctors, so you’re never certain who you’ll see. However, not seeing the doctor…

The time is mid-evening and my husband and I have been dragging ourselves around the neighbourhood for 90 minutes. The air is scented with honeysuckle, the sky is gorgeously hued, but my feet hurt. ‘Shall we just go once more round the park?’ asks Phil, with a sly glance at his Fitbit. ‘Yes,’ I reply, because resistance is futile. He has 200 more calories to go before he hits his target, and I don’t want to be the mean wife, preventing him from a 4,000-calorie burn. He’s already done a brutal early morning weights session in the gym, returning home in a sweat-soaked T-shirt and earning a ‘well done!’ from next-door’s builder. Phil has belonged to our gym for six months. I’ve been a member for 20 years and he’s…

If you’ve never been prescribed antibiotics, you're one of the lucky ones. Treating anything from an infected cut to a serious chest infection, antibiotics have been a vital part of medicine since penicillin was first used in 1942. But now it seems bacteria have become increasingly resistant to the antibiotics we have available, which means infections are becoming more difficult to treat. Behind the headlines The term ‘antibiotic resistance’ has been popping up in health headlines recently, but what does it actually mean? ‘As we use antibiotics, we kill bacteria that are sensitive to them,’ explains David Livermore, professor in medical microbiology at Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, and lead of antibiotic resistance at Public Health England. ‘Unfortunately, some bacteria become resistant, so they’re no longer killed by…

How can I treat hay fever without medication? QI have horrid hay fever, but am really trying to avoid medication at the moment – are there any natural alternatives to treat it? Philippa says: A Keep windows closed at night and in the car. Change and wash clothes when you get in and wash your hair, otherwise you’re breathing in pollen all night (and rubbing it over your pillowcase). Wear wraparound sunnies and clean your eyelids when you get in – try a diluted solution of 1/10th baby shampoo to 9/10ths water. A sweep of Vaseline around the inside of your nose can act as a barrier to the pollen, and washing out your nose and sinuses using a saline sinus rinse (available over the counter) can also really help.…

Luxuriate alone It’s a cliché, but a long hot bath is a great place to unwind. Go overboard with candles, music and bubbles, even your favourite film – just keep your laptop away from the water! You’ll soon feel any stresses just slip away... Scrub up together Treat bathroom time as bonding time. Hop in the shower and soap each other down slowly or fill a bubble bath half full and slide in together, changing positions every now and then so that both of you take a turn sitting against the taps... Take pleasure Make love standing up in the shower – if slipping is an issue try putting a rubber mat down first. Or, try you-on-top in the bath. Turn on the water jet from the shower head attachment…

Sheila Bridgen, 71, from Leiston, couldn’t believe it when she scooped her fourth and fifth win in just over a month... Settling in front of the TV with my feet up on the sofa beside my husband Colin, 66, I saw he was flicking through the channels on the TV in search of something to watch. ‘IT’S GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN’ ‘There’s not much on the telly tonight,’ he concluded with a sigh. ‘Do you want to have a look and choose a programme?’ ‘No thanks, I have other plans,’ I told him with a grin as I picked up my laptop. It was 4 April and I had planned to log in and play Woman Bingo, which has become one of my favourite ways to spend an…

THEN  Guy hit the big time when he played Mike Young in Neighbours from 1986 to 1989. He went on to star in hit movies The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), Memento (2000) and The King’s Speech (2010). In 2015, he appeared in the documentary Neighbours 30th: The Stars Reunite, celebrating 30 years of the soap. NOW  Guy’s now among the cast of Netflix drama The Innocents, a new eight-part supernatural teen love story. Set in Norway, the series revolves around teenagers Harry and June, who run away from their families to be together. But the discovery of June’s extraordinary ability to shape-shift threatens to tear them apart……

The most sickening news story of recent weeks has been the attack on a woman with learning disabilities by a bunch of teenage boys. The act itself was bad enough. They chucked flour and eggs at her as she sat in a public park. Then they posted a picture on Snapchat of themselves laughing at their severely distressed victim. What followed was worse. The family of one of the boys questioned over the incident received police protection after the image went viral. His mum told reporters that threats from the public were jeopardising her son’s planned 16th birthday party. Well, boo-hoo. On what planet should her little oik be entitled to a party? Such cruel disregard for vulnerability should be punished with at least 12 months’ grounding and voluntary work…

Katie Price: Always have a man lined up She may be about divorce for the third time, but don’t be fooled into thinking Katie Price, 40, is crying herself to sleep. The mum-of-five says she always has a man lined up for the moment things turn sour. ‘I know when a relationship is ending. And I’ve usually got a man on the backburner so I’m not on my own.’ Talk about forward planning! Ayda Field: Fake it in bed Despite being married to one of the world’s biggest popstars, Ayda Field, 39, confessed to sometimes ‘faking it’ under the covers, because she often feels ‘too tired’ to do the deed. Luckily her hubby saw the funny side as he joined his wife on air and joked, ‘You’ve been faking it…

Diane Smith, 37, lives in Norfolk, with her husband, Dan, 39, and two sons, George, five, and Samson, three My husband Dan and I had been trying for years before I fell pregnant in 2012. People say a person becomes a parent the first time they see their child. For me, it was when I first saw the pregnancy test. Being a healthcare professional, I knew how precarious those first 12 weeks could be. But as soon as we heard our baby’s heartbeat through the monitor, we thought she was safe. ‘I DREADED SEEING PEOPLE’ Only at 22 weeks, while we were visiting friends my stomach started to ache. Dan took me to hospital in Bangor, where we were rushed to a private room. While we were there, I felt…

‘The face of NHS health care is changing,’ says Dr Harper. ‘We have to take note of this new research and ensure patients that need it get continuity of care. This may mean encouraging patients with straightforward or one-off conditions to make more use of pharmacists, nurse practitioners and virtual doctors.’ Robot and virtual doctors are becoming less science fiction and more part of the medical narrative. Although opinion may be divided, many doctors are starting to realise they have their place. For example, video calling, albeit with a random doctor, ‘can give much more information to the GP than a phone call,’ explains Dr Harper.…

1 ‘Good, new antibiotics are hard to find. As bacteria become more resistant, the chemistry required to create new ones has become ever more complicated.’ 2 ‘The regulation required to get a licence is complex. It’s vital to make sure new antibiotics are safe, but the complexity and cost is so great that developers are being discouraged.’ 3 ‘Antibiotics aren’t lucrative. Typically, people are given an antibiotic for a week or two – and courses are becoming shorter. Compare that with a heart drug, where someone may be on it for 10 years. The pharmaceutical industry sees better returns on treatment for long-term, chronic conditions than it does from treating short-term conditions.’…

Could your genes be the answer to slimming back into your jeans? This is the scientific breakthrough that promises to take the guesswork out of dieting. A simple swab is taken from the inside of your cheek and posted to a laboratory. There, scientists analyse your DNA, examining your genetic make-up. Most crucial are genes that influence body size and weight, fat processing and storage, ability to lose weight and maintain it, plus the likelihood of developing high cholesterol. Armed with this information, experts formulate a diet tailored to your genetic make-up – recommending meal plans, portion sizes and even exercise regimes. So, is DNA dieting a gimmick or a breakthrough? We asked three serial dieters to take a £59 test offered by myDNA, available online or at Lloyds Pharmacy,…

According to Vogue , Brazilians are out of fashion. They mean waxing, not the countrymen. It’s five years since Gwyneth Paltrow admitted she ‘rocks a 70s vibe’ in her intimate area. As ever, Gwynnie was way ahead in the personal grooming stakes. Apparently today’s trend is for a natural look, trimmed at the edges. Great if you’re confident and have an understanding other half. It’s more terrifying if you are on the dating scene and likely to reveal your choice of topiary to a new partner.…

Growing old gracefully Can you tell who this is? Frankly, it looks like me first thing before my first three cups of coffee. But no, it’s gorgeous Joan Collins transformed into a frail old lady in her new film Gerry. Given how gorgeous she normally looks at 85, this might be the ultimate make-under. Family fallouts Apparently, families argue six times a day, mostly about food. Not us. We row about tidying up, or rather not tidying up. I also need to tell my lot that finding things is not a female trait. I get asked 5,000 times a day ‘Where’s my phone/socks/ charger?’ It amazes me Christopher Columbus ever found America. Bet he had to ask his mum where it was first.…
