TV fans are used to seeing Holly Willoughby side by side with best friend and This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield.

The show, which is on screens for the entirety of the week, sees Holly and Freddie, 44, putting famous faces through their paces in a series of Olympics-style events until one is eventually crowned the champion. And it’s clear that mum-of-three Holly is over the moon with her new co-host – as she recently revealed she’s thrilled to be showing him…

When Kate and Gerry McCann took their three young children on holiday to Portugal on 28 April 2007, they were an ordinary family of five from Rothley in Leicestershire. Just five days later, their eldest daughter, Madeleine, then three, disappeared from an apartment the family had rented at the Ocean Club complex in Praia da Luz, changing the course of their lives forever. In the days, months and years that followed, Madeleine’s face was shown on missing posters across the world, and the sweet little girl became one of the most publicised missing-person cases in history. More than £13 million was spent on the search for Madeleine, and now, 15 years since her disappearance on 3 May 2007, an official suspect has recently been named by police. He is Christian…

SIMON COWELL Talent show mogul Simon, 62, recently swore off injectables after admitting he looked ‘like something out of a horror film’. He said, ‘There was a stage where I might have gone a bit too far… I saw a picture of me from “before” the other day and didn’t recognise it as me first of all. Eric [his son] was in hysterics. Enough was enough. There is no filler in my face at all now.’ AMANDA HOLDEN Amanda Holden, 51, denies all claims that she’s been under the knife. With brilliant genes, the star hasn’t aged in years – if anything she’s looking younger than ever. She has admitted to using Botox in the past but now swears by newer tweakments like Morpheus8 (a combined radio frequency and microneedling…

How excited were you when you heard about The Games? This is going to be a brilliant week of TV. Our celebrity competitors will need to be at the top of their game to be in with a chance of topping the medals table. As a former sportsman, how competitive do you think it will get? Everyone’s encouraging each other, everyone’s getting on really nicely and supporting each other, but there’s that underlying competition where everybody wants to win. But it’s not just about how physically fit or how good you are at a sport, it’s putting it all together on the night on live TV – which I’m slightly nervous about as, well, I’ve not done a lot… Holly says she’ll look after you… I was hoping so. The…

Do you rehearse what you’re going to say, or feel your stomach churning before you see your doctor? Even if you aren’t aware of feeling nervous, going to the GP can be a stressful process. After all, you’re only there because you have a worrying symptom or concern. But no matter how much you may like your doctor, or feel that they have a good ‘bedside manner’ and communication skills, visiting them may well make you anxious. This stress and anxiety can also be seen physically, and is called ‘white coat syndrome’, or ‘white coat hypertension’. Here, your blood pressure is higher when taken in the medical setting, such as in your GP surgery or hospital, than it would be at home. This is thought to be due to the…

It’s a great idea for a playroom or living space and can easily be updated…

✱ Before putting up a boundary wall you are legally obliged to consult your neighbours, although this law does not apply to fencing. ✱ If you border a listed building, any boundary changes may also require planning permission. ✱ Ensure fences are no higher than the 2m legal limit. ✱ In areas with open-plan front gardens, there is often a restriction on fences or hedges, and planning permission must usually be sought – see hedgeline.org. ✱ The general rule is if the ‘good’ side of the fence faces on to your neighbour’s garden (that is, the struts or posts are on your side), it’s up to you to maintain it.…

It’s been a matter of weeks since the Rupert Murdoch-owned news channel TalkTV launched and already its main star, Piers Morgan, has managed to make himself one the most talked-about men in the country once again. The 57-year-old kicked off his new show Piers Morgan Uncensored in explosive style with an exclusive interview with Donald Trump, which concluded with the former POTUS clearly furious, accusing Piers of being ‘dishonest’ as he left the set. Piers knows all about leaving sets in a temper. He famously marched out of a live recording of ITV’s Good Morning Britain following an on- row weather presenter Alex Beresford concerning comments the Duchess of Sussex made during her and Harry’s tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. He was given the option to apologise or leave the show.…

DUKE AND DUCHESS TO BOYCOTT THE JUBILEE? Harry and Meghan may miss the Jubilee celebrations in June over fears of a public backlash, my sources tell me. Speculation the couple will fly to England to join the rest of the royals as they appear in public to mark the Queen’s 70 years on the throne has heightened since surprise last month. Harry even went on to imply in his interview with American television that the only thing stopping them being involved were ‘issues of security and other issues’. Speaking to promote his Invictus Games in April, Harry seemed to suggest he and Meghan were willing to join the rest of his family if these ‘issues’ are resolved. However, a source close to the Jubilee’s organisers claimed one of the possible…

1 CHOOSE YOUR FRAMES The picture frames you use will make a huge difference to the overall look of your gallery wall. A simple black or white frame allows artwork to stand out, while an eclectic mix of styles can bring further interest and detail to your wall. 2 PLAN THE LAYOUT Create a space on your floor to lay your pictures out, moving them about until you get an arrangement you’re happy with. If you have a photo or piece of artwork that you want to be the main focus of the wall, start with this in the middle and work out from that. Ensure you have an even mix of colours and styles to keep your gallery wall balanced. 3 TRANSFER YOUR LAYOUT TO THE WALL Using washi…

EVERYONE NEEDS A BACKUP PLAN Last year’s I’m a Celebrity turned into a damp squib – in more ways than one. There’s only so much cold, Welsh wetness that the TV campmates (and viewers) can take in November, and despite the action from Gwrych Castle being hugely popular in 2020, by 2021 the audience were turning off in their droves. So you can imagine how keen ITV bosses are to return to Australia this year, the series’ true home. The snag is, being allowed back in is totally out of their control. It only takes one change in the Aussie COVID regulations and – bam – Ant and Dec are back shivering in the spooky castle once again. So, you can’t blame the TV chiefs for deciding to film an…
