SHARON: ‘THEY ROBBED US BLIND’ Sharon Osbourne revealed she’s had millions of pounds worth of jewellery stolen on multiple occasions, including one incident where two housekeepers ‘robbed us blind’. Recalling another robbery where her wedding band and a 24-carat sapphire ring were taken, Sharon, 71, said, ‘I’m sure a lot of people will look at us and say, “Well, they have got more, they can buy it again.” But the thing is… Everything we have got we have worked our a**es off for.’ Ozzy recalled another incident where he confronted a thief in their home. ‘In hindsight, it could have been a lot worse… I just thank God that no one got injured.’ KATE ‘I’m barely holding it together’ Just six months after losing her husband, Derek Draper, Kate Garraway…

Columnist Stop comparing yourself to others If you have a summer holiday on the horizon and you’re heading somewhere warm, chances are there’ll be a beach or a pool. Around that pool will be members of the public of all shapes and sizes and with varying levels of fitness, strength and energy. Whatever camp you’re in, you may (during a riveting hour of people watching) focus on a lovely lady who we’ll call Julia. Julia is lying on the sunlounger directly opposite and is the one with the nipped waist, toned arms and washboard torso (oh c’mon, who even has those any more?). She also has the casual confidence of someone who hasn’t had to work at it – but, trust me, she has. So, if you’re seething with envy…

Health and wellbeing Reduce your risk of jet lag Planning on escaping the UK to fly off to far-flung climes? Sadly, this may mean you’ll disrupt your sleeping pattern… Jet lag, also known in some countries as ‘time zone change syndrome’, involves more than just tiredness. Symptoms can also include tummy upset, irritability, anxiety, nausea, difficulty regulating your temperature, memory impairment and disruption to concentration and decision making – not what you want when starting your holiday! It occurs due to a disruption in our circadian rhythm (our internal 24-hour clock that’s in a small part of our brain, which is sensitive to light). This not only produces our sleep/wake cycle, but also ensures many other bodily processes happen at the right time. When you’re moving across multiple time zones…

10 EASY WAYS TO RESTYLE YOUR LIVING ROOM 1 TIDY AND SORT One reason we tire of a room is because we get fed up of looking at the same things.

Simply reposition your furniture to make you see things in a new light. 3 HANG ARTWORK Painting or putting up wallpaper can be a big job, but creating a gallery by adding framed photos and artwork will have loads of impact.

While her former best friend and This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield has been making more public appearances lately – most recently arriving at the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in a helicopter with his family – Holly Willoughby has remained quiet and away from the spotlight. But is that all about to change? It’s no secret that Holly, 43, has had her toughest year to date. Following Phil’s ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a younger male colleague, which came to light last year, Holly said she felt ‘shaken, troubled and let down’. She added, ‘You, me and all of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth.’ And on top of that, she’s recently had the trial of Gavin Plumb…

Columnist KATE’S BACK! It was fantastic to see the Princess of Wales at another public engagement – only her second since she announced her cancer diagnosis earlier this year. She received a standing ovation from the crowd at Wimbledon’s Centre Court as she attended the men’s singles final with her daughter Princess Charlotte and sister Pippa. Kate, 42, looked slightly overwhelmed as the crowd clapped and cheered for her as she entered the Royal Box. Waving and smiling, she ushered Charlotte to her seat, looking resplendent in the Championships’ signature colour, purple. Certainly, stars including Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts and Benedict Cumberbatch, who were all clapping her in the Royal Box, seemed delighted to see her. And footage of her handing the winner’s trophy to Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, and chatting…

They say that everyone in life deserves a second chance, and that’s true of me and my husband Matthew, 36. We’ve been married for eight years, and even through the worst betrayal imaginable, I haven’t given up on him. People might judge me, but I have found the strength to forgive Matthew for cheating on me not just once, but twice. Matthew and I had been married for just 18 months when I discovered messages on his phone from another woman. At the time Matthew worked as a sales manager while I was a stay-at-home mum to our daughter and also my two children, both from previous relationships. Life was hectic as we nurtured our blended family, but we were happy. Or at least I thought so. One day I…

Get the look ✱ A lick of paint can go a long way to lifting a tired garden. If you’re considering updating your fence panels, pergola or wooden furniture, it’s time to get the paintbrush out. A charcoal-hued black looks stylish, won’t mark as easily as lighter colours and will hide any unsightly knots. ✱ If you have room for separate lounging and dining spaces, try to keep the dining area close to your house and kitchen for easier hosting. @NO1_ON_THE_GROVE Get the look ✱ Look out for garden furniture that doubles up for dining and lounging. Sofa sets with a raised table instead of a low coffee table are ideal for family gatherings and barbecues, providing extra seating and a table to eat at. Extra stools to stash under…

Columnist GRANDMA KNOWS BREAST Fay Ripley has faced a media pile-on for quipping that she’ll breastfeed her future grandchildren to overcome the challenge of seeing her kids flee the nest. ‘Slow news day?’ asked the Cold Feet star on her Instagram, after the comments made headlines everywhere. ‘A gal makes a casual wet nursing joke and suddenly folk want me arrested.’ I’ve been in the media long enough to know that any mention of breastfeeding by a celebrity whips up a storm. It’s a hugely touchy topic. It’s crazy to me that in 2024 women are still given grief for daring to bare their boobs in public to feed their own children. This most natural of acts offends so many. Fay was naive if she thought talking about wet nursing…
