ANTHONY JOSHUA It’s not just in the boxing ring that Anthony, 33, gets hearts racing. He effortlessly impressed while soaking up the sun in Dubai, displaying an eight-pack that most men can only dream of. CRISTIANO RONALDO As if being one of the best footballers of all time wasn’t enough, Ronaldo is also one of the hottest. And it seems that the 38-year-old knows it, too, treating fans to a glimpse of his impressive body and his incredibly short shorts. MARK WRIGHT After recently completing the London Marathon, Essex boy Mark enjoyed some much needed relaxation in Ibiza. And the Heart FM presenter, 36, didn’t miss the opportunity to show off the incredible results of all that training. JAMIE REDKNAPP He may have three kids but former footballer Jamie doesn’t…

Taking in parcels, watering plants when you’re away – good neighbours, as the theme tune goes, become good friends. But what happens when your neighbours seem to be hell-bent on making your life miserable? A young family from Essex were recently subjected to a horrifying ordeal by their neighbour, Firas El Hejjaji, 29, when he followed up months of threats and intimidation by trying to smash his way into their home brandishing a 3ft sword, which was caught on video. He was ordered to pay £1,500 compensation when he admitted the offence in court last month. But after being arrested, he was back home within 24 hours, leaving his neighbours feeling like ‘prisoners’ in their own home. The father of the family, who has one child and hasn’t been…

‘They should make a film about our lives,’ I would often say to my children when they were younger. ‘The problem is, it’s so unimaginable that I doubt anyone would want to do it.’ ‘But if they did,’ I would add, optimistically, ‘I’d want Sharon Horgan to play me.’ At which point, the conversation would veer off at a hilarious tangent as we discussed who would play each member of our family. We welcomed Daisy into our lives on 22 December 2004. She was born prematurely and spent the first eight weeks of her life in the hospital’s neonatal unit. At the time, I was working as a marketing director and our other children were aged seven, five and two – now, we had thought our family was complete. Instead,…

CHARITABLE HARRY Not only is he a global pop sensation, but Harry Styles also has a heart of gold. The singer has just wrapped up his Love on Tour shows, and through them he’s raised a staggering £5 million for good causes.

Just when we thought we couldn’t love him more… Fern: 3st gone!

FERGIE WAS ALWAYS A FAVOURITE OF THE LATE QUEEN The Royal Family very rarely share anything about their health, or more specifically their illnesses. They view it as intensely private and only provide limited information when they really have to (I remember having a two-hour phone ‘discussion’ with a senior Palace courtier over the reporting of the late Queen’s COVID-19 vaccination). So bravo to Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, for being so open about her breast cancer diagnosis and recent mastectomy. As she revealed in her podcast Tea Talks with the Duchess and Sarah, her one aim is to encourage everyone who can to get screened. Fergie, 63, has been recuperating at home, Royal Lodge in Windsor, which she shares with Prince Andrew, after the eight-hour operation. Seven weeks…

Stop the menopause making you fat Worried about your waistline? Throughout the perimenopause (which can start as soon as our 30s) and menopause (when you haven’t had a period for a year), levels of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone will decrease. This causes a list of symptoms, which are well documented and (thankfully) discussed more openly these days. But everyone’s menopause is different. Susan might sail through with only a damp top lip and the odd snarl, whereas her friend, Jane, has panic attacks, heart palpitations, insomnia, profuse sweating and is losing her hair, libido and confidence. Both women, though, may notice a change in body-fat levels. The reason for this particular symptom isn’t necessarily the menopause and I urge you not to accept weight-gain as inevitable. As we grow older,…

How to beat hot-weather pests Don’t let pesky bites and stings derail your summer fun when out and about I love summer days and I’m not the only one. Unfortunately, the hot, humid weather provides the perfect environment for an abundance of bugs and insects to dine out on our skin. So, just how can you protect yourself? When it comes to the plethora of things we see in ‘GP Land’ at this time of year, infected and inflamed bites and stings are rife, albeit most of these can be managed well at home or by your local pharmacist, so it’s always worth asking them for advice. Most will be nothing more than an itchy, unsightly nuisance that disappears after a few days – use ice for any swelling, antihistamine…

Columnist WHO DO THE RICH AND FAMOUS THINK THEY ARE? Asking for stuff for free is just so uncool. Being offered it and graciously accepting is one thing, but being a bit famous and employing people who try and blag things that you want is just embarrassing. Step forward Catherine Tyldesley, the ex-Coronation Street star who recently found herself at the centre of Cakegate. Her identity was revealed after a PR company wrote to the Three Little Birds Bakery in Keighley, asking for 102 free cakes for a 40th birthday party they were organising for a celeb. Instead of cold hard cash, it said the person in question would pay ‘in the form of promotion on their socials with over 700k followers as well as [being] promoted in OK! Magazine’.…

‘Their series felt like an orgy of victimhood’ The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at it again… First there was speculation that Wills and Kate had effectively driven them out of Kensington Palace after their relationship turned sour. Then it was the dreadful courtiers and a racist royal who drove them out of the family and eventually the UK. Now, reportedly, they have claimed they are ‘repeatedly unlucky’ in the timings of their business endeavours and that in the case of Spotify they were set up to fail. For all the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune that are thrown against them… it’s always someone else’s fault. Spotify ditching them and their £18 million deal after just one series of Meghan’s Archetypes podcasts? That was because the Queen died…

AMANDA HOLDEN At 52, it’s safe to say that Amanda is well and truly in her stride – and after signing a £3 million deal to present Heart radio’s Breakfast show in 2019, she became Britain’s best-paid female showbiz host. Not to mention, the BGT judge looks better than ever. ‘I look at people who are older than me, like Kylie [Minogue], Jennifer Aniston, Sharon Stone, and Jennifer flipping Lopez – there’s no one hotter than her,’ Amanda said. ‘We’re leading the way.’ Well said! DAME JUDI DENCH Actor Judi’s international success came later in life. After decades in theatre, she was 50 when the film A Room with a View was released in 1985. But Judi, 88, became a global star at 60 when she was cast as M…

Women are more tired than ever, as we’re constantly trying to cram so much into our lives, says nutritionist Jenna Hope (jennahopenutrition.com). ‘This means stress levels are higher, sleep is often not a priority and, as a result, the consumption of high-sugar, high-fat convenience foods tends to become a regular occurrence.’ The good news? Most people can boost their energy levels instantly with some simple lifestyle tweaks. Here’s what you need to do. Fling open the curtains Natural light resets the internal body clock, which is easier in summer when it’s lighter much earlier. ‘Exposure to morning light helps you get over that groggy feeling when waking and makes you feel more alert,’ says expert Lisa Artis from The Sleep Charity. Wake up your body Before showering, dry-brush your skin…
