Davina McCall, 54 As a fitness fanatic, Davina has admitted she works out five times a week, so her washboard abs are more than deserved. We’re almost jealous enough to dust off our gym membership… Tess Daly, 53 Legs for days! It’s no wonder Tess Daly was snapped up by a modelling agency at 17, and we reckon the Strictly host could still give the teens of today a run for their money on the runway. Tess, you look incredible. Jennifer Lopez, 53 J.Lo, or more like Jenny with the rock-hard abs, is often posting on social media about her gruelling-looking workouts. Clearly, all that hard work is paying off as the singer, who recently married actor Ben Affleck in Las Vegas, looks fabulous. Elizabeth Hurley, 57 We have no…

Going away? Not only is it essential to pack your passport, but your toothbrush should be next on the list. Good oral health is important all year round, but the summer months can bring particular challenges – even when staying at home. Hot weather, cold drinks and food, plus sugary, ice-filled cocktails, can have a negative impact on teeth and even cause bad breath – which is the last thing you want when enjoying yourself. Here’s what you need to know. Get the temp right Tooth sensitivity affects women more than men, and can make summer treats, such as ice cream and iced drinks, hard to enjoy. ‘If your teeth are already sensitive, this can create a very painful sensation,’ says Dr Yasmin Anaboussi of L&Y Dental. In most cases,…

Reality star turned TV presenter Vicki Pattison opens up about her dad’s alcoholism and how it has shaped her life in a new one-off C4 documentary, which also sees her explore her own issues with alcohol. Here, she reveals more… Why did you want to make this documentary now? I’ve wanted to make it in one form or another for years, but in retrospect, I was not in the right place to make it. I was still struggling with an awful lot of my own issues around alcohol. Who I am is shaped by my childhood and by my dad’s illness. I wanted people to understand why I was the way I was and also to understand alcoholism more as a disease. I think a part of me maybe wanted…

BYE-BYE BROOKLYN He’s tried his hand as a professional footballer, photographer, barista and chef, but now it looks as though Brooklyn Beckham’s latest venture as a model could soon be a thing of the past. The 23-year-old signed a deal reportedly worth £1 million with Superdry, only to have it axed just eight months later with a rep of the brand revealing, ‘Superdry works with a range of brand ambassadors and enjoyed working with Brooklyn during the launch of our new flagship Oxford Street store and during our autumn/winter 21 campaign. We always review the ambassadors who feature in our campaigns and decided to work with a different range of talent for spring/summer 22.’ Good job you’ve got Mummy and Daddy (and your billionaire in-laws) to fall back on, Brooklyn.…

INSIDE MEGHAN AND VICTORIA’S FALL-OUT As tensions between Princes William and Harry remain strained, you could be forgiven for thinking the Sussexes would have turned to their friends the Beckhams for support. David and Victoria were guests at the fabulous royal wedding in 2018, and David has worked on a string of projects with Harry for more than a decade. The former England footballer was also one of a handful of celebrities who flew to Australia in support of Harry and Meghan’s first overseas tour. All four of them know first-hand not only what it is like to be hounded by the paparazzi but also the constant battle for privacy that comes with life in the public eye. And both the Sussex and Beckham clans have even holidayed in the…

Columnist Sunshine is great for your bones! Hello lovely people! Are you outside, catching a few rays? Fabulous. Some 15 minutes or so of letting the warm glow settle on your skin will right there and then boost the density and strength of your bones (more than that and you need to dig out the sunscreen). But how does it do that? The skin absorbs the UVB radiation from the sun, which then reacts with a protein in the skin called 7-DHC and creates vitamin D that’s stored in our fat cells. That vitamin D is absolutely – and I’m going to use a serious grown-up word here – critical, because it helps the body absorb calcium from the food we eat. The effect of optimum vitamin D alone means…

WOMAN’S GP DR PHILIPPA KAYE ON HER TOPIC OF THE WEEK If you usually end up uncomfortable ‘down below’ after a holiday, you’re not the only one. Many people experience the telltale itchiness and discomfort associated with vaginal thrush. Some will get it regularly, perhaps related to their menstrual cycle or after a course of antibiotics. And while this intimate fungal infection can strike at any point in any year, it may be more common in the summer. Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments. The natural balance of fungi and bacteria in the vagina may become unbalanced due to exposure to chlorine in swimming pools and sitting for long periods in wet swimwear, which can cause irritation. Vaginal thrush can lead to an increased amount of discharge, which may be…

Columnist A WEB OF DISGRACEFUL LIES Martin Bashir has got an awful lot to answer for. The lies he told Princess Diana in order to gain her confidence – and isolate her further – were callous, cruel and calculated. She went to her grave not knowing that her private secretary Patrick Jephson was not pocketing huge amounts of cash for selling her out or having her watched. She also had no idea that Tiggy Legge-Bourke, her estranged husband’s assistant who was entrusted with looking after her sons, never had an affair with Prince Charles, much less became pregnant and had an abortion. It was all totally fabricated and peddled by Panorama reporter Bashir, to persuade her that everyone around her was behaving terribly and that she should put across her…

It’s no secret that Eamonn Holmes still feels bitter about being canned from his regular slot alongside wife Ruth Langsford on This Morning back in 2020. And while the star has bounced back from his shock exit from the channel altogether – bagging a huge role on GB News as a breakfast presenter and fronting BBC series Farm to Feast: Best Menu Wins – it seems he could still be vying for revenge on his former bosses. An inside source tells us, ‘Eamonn is understandably still furious. He is passionate about his career and he feels like people need to know what happened from his point of view. He is cross and you can tell by the way he speaks about leaving ITV that it wasn’t palatable for him. He…

Brits spend an average £22 billion a year doing up their beloved homes – and from Changing Rooms to Grand Designs, there’s always something on the box to inspire us to roll up our sleeves. Now, Netflix have added another show to the roster. Set to air on 10 August, Instant Dream Home follows a team of expert renovators who drastically transform families’ homes in just 24 hours. While we await the results, Hannah Janikiewicz, 42, explains how she made her very own dream home a reality. Hannah, husband Dougie, 45, and three children, Isabella, 10, Xabi, eight, and Miller, six, moved into their Victorian home in the Wirral in 2012. It was then worth £347,000 and part-derelict with outdated decor. After some smaller renovations, they began a transformative project…

With summer in full swing, it’s never been more important to keep cool on the hottest days. But that doesn’t mean compromising on style. Opt for chic pieces in breathable fabrics, such as silk, cotton and linen, in wafty cuts. While wearing black might seem counter-intuitive, natural fabrics in this dark hue will absorb heat and deflect it from your body. This boho-inspired maxi dress is a chic option. The airy tiered skirt on the button-through design will keep you cool. Add a belt to accentuate your waist. 1 To a tee Swap your cotton, crew-neck T-shirt for a linen V-neck shape. The boxy fit and smart fabric will elevate this wardrobe staple. Wear tucked into shorts and skirts for easy summer style. T-shirt, £12.99, sizes xs-xxl, H&M 2 Air…

1. Bedding Aside from the colour and style of your bed linen, the fabric you choose is an important element. If you prefer to be cooler at night, a cotton or linen duvet cover is an ideal choice. Egyptian cotton is top of most people’s lists, as it’s soft, strong and durable and can help you stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Thread count is a measure of the number of threads woven into a square inch – however, the higher the number doesn’t mean the better the bedding! In the summer, more lightweight fabric is ideal, so choose a lower thread count, while thicker bedding for the winter months is best, so go for a higher thread count then. Portobello bed linen, from £18 for a pillowcase,…
