It’s hard to believe that Good Morning Britain’s Ranvir Singh has a wake-up call of 3am when she looks as glamorous as she does on our screens. And, recently, fans have noticed that the presenter, 48, has a new glow about her, having lost weight and – by her own admission – healed her relationship with food. ‘You’ve always looked good [but] at the moment you’re absolutely glowing,’ gushed a fan under one of her stunning instagram snaps. Under another photo a fan said, ‘You look in sensational shape and you’re so naturally beautiful,’ while a third added, ‘She’s lost weight and looks great.’ Working out In recent months, Ranvir has been hitting the gym and taking her fitness more seriously. ‘For the first time in my life, I’ve been…

ARE BEN AND JEN BACK TOGETHER? Fans were left devastated when Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce in 2024 from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage, following a whirlwind romance that saw them reunite 20 years after first getting engaged. And now many are speculating that they might have rekindled their romance once more. The former couple put on a cosy display at the premiere of their new film, Kiss of the Spider Woman, setting many tongues wagging. One fan wrote on social media, ‘They are going home together,’ as another said, ‘Lord… they’re gonna start this all over again.’ However, a source seemed to suggest otherwise, claiming that though the pair are ‘in a really good place’ and ‘continue to support each other’, ‘there’s no romantic reunion’. Phew! Victoria’s…

SHE’S BACK… ON HER OWN TERMS! Meghan returned to the European stage earlier this month and it was quite a statement of intent. Stepping out into a blaze of flashbulbs, she was the guest of honour at Balenciaga’s show during Paris Fashion Week. Dressed head-to-toe in bespoke white, with some killer black heels, she looked every inch the celebrity muse. Despite her team’s insistence that she was there simply to support Balenciaga’s new creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, the symbolism was impossible to miss. Greeting Vogue supremo Anna Wintour and legendary director Baz Luhrmann with kisses on both cheeks, hugging Pierpaolo and mixing with A-listers such as Anne Hathaway showed the Duchess of Sussex with the global elite. After years of distancing herself, both geographically and spiritually, from her old life,…

How long it (really) takes to lose weight Well, the answer to this really does depend on so many factors. Let’s get the terminology right first. When we say lose ‘weight’, we really mean lose ‘fat’. Our weight changes for reasons which have nothing to do with eating too much, so try not to hop on-and-off the scales every five minutes. Once a week is ample. Now let’s look at this topic from two angles. Firstly, the short-term goal. Say you wanted to fit into an outfit for an event in three weeks. The excesses from summer are still hanging around and you want to get rid of a few pounds to make it more comfortable. So you do something quite brutal for three weeks. Give up alcohol, chocolate, sweet…

Why you don’t have to accept thinning hair Finding the cause of the problem is the first step to getting help. As women, we often discuss weight-loss journeys and ageing skin, but it may surprise you to hear that I also see many women distressed because of thinning hair (medically known as alopecia). Hair follows a constant cycle of growth, transition, rest and shed. Anything that interrupts that cycle can result in hair thinning. One of the main culprits is hormones – during perimenopause and menopause, lower oestrogen and progesterone means hair grows more slowly and sheds more easily. For some women, this can be pronounced. But it’s important to not just assume everything in midlife is down to hormonal shifts. Hair thinning can also be a symptom of an…

Make cash online Millions of us are topping up our income by selling second-hand items online, through sites such as Vinted, Depop, Amazon, Etsy and eBay. You may already know you can make up to £1,000 a year tax-free from side hustles. But did you also know that, under new rules, online platforms must share information with HMRC if you make 30+ sales or earn more than £1,700 in a calendar year? If you go over the £1,000 trading allowance and don’t declare it, HMRC may send you a letter reminding you to complete a tax return. ‘While you may think this is just a scare tactic, ignoring these types of letters may lead to further full tax inquiries and criminal investigations,’ says Lee Murphy, MD of The Accountancy Partnership,…

Whoopi Goldberg is a woman who needs little introduction. From Sister Act to Star Trek: The Next Generation and her Oscar-winning turn in Ghost, there are few people who will not have come across her in their lives. Now, at 69, she’s feeling great. Working on new projects, including a rumoured Sister Act 3, and looking trimmer than ever thanks to weight-loss jabs, Whoopi is far from heading to retirement. Woman caught up with her to talk all about it. Hi Whoopi, how are you? You look great. I’ve lost some weight. I lost about 180 pounds [over 12st]. You never looked big to begin with... My clothes are always big, so no-one can ever tell what’s going on under there. I had to do those shots [skinny jabs] because…

BELTED Whether you go for a colour-pop piece or something a little more classic, opting for a coat with a tie-waist detail or an added belt will cinch in your middle to create a defined hourglass shape and prevent you from looking swamped in fabric. PUFFER This quilted style of jacket has a sporty feel to it that is perfect for low-key weekend wear. The voluminous look can be a little bulky, so it’s best to opt for shorter lengths and wear over fitted separates to balance out the oversized shape. SINGLE BREASTED You really can’t go wrong with this understated and straight-cut style of coat, as it’s universally flattering and completely timeless. The fuss-free design will sit well over absolutely any outfit and feel on-trend right now and for…

Standing in front of my family, my husband-to-be and I exchanged rings, then signed a marriage licence. But this was no normal wedding. The ceremony was taking place in our living room, I was wearing jeans and a T-shirt, and I was terrified. Afterwards, with my belongings shoved into boxes, my new husband Peter*, then 24, drove me to an empty parking lot and raped me, saying: ‘Legally, you belong to me now.’ Aged just 17, I was a child bride, forced to marry a man who had groomed, abused and manipulated me since I was 13. While the legal age for marriage in England and Wales is 18, it’s just 16 in 80% of US states – despite the fact that in many of them, you’re not classed as…

After following the lives of six glamorous women who live in some of the capital’s most exclusive postcodes, The Real Housewives of London ends with a reunion special, which gives the ladies a chance to reflect on the series, set a few things straight and resolve their differences. Here, Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan, who hosts the show, reveals more… Did you have any expectations before hosting the reunion show? I was expecting fireworks, glamour and unresolved drama. Being a fan of the series and watching all 10 episodes, I knew there was some unfinished business. I wondered if these women were going to let their barriers down and get past some of their issues so that they could move on as friends. In other instalments of the Real Housewives franchise,…

RELATIONSHIP RULES Think of all the nice guys we’ve fallen for on-screen. Hugh Grant’s Charles bumbling through Four Weddings and a Funeral. Mark Darcy melting Bridget Jones with that ‘just as you are’ line. Swoon. Or Billy Crystal’s Harry finally realising he loves Sally. In the movies, the kind men always get the girl – after a few false starts and a glorious, emotional montage, of course. But according to science (because – newsflash – I still ‘believe’ in science!), the real world plays by crueller rules. A study published in the Journal of Research in Personality, based on nearly 3,800 questionnaires, found that personality traits predict relationship success – but in completely opposite ways for men and women. For women, being agreeable (kind, empathetic, patient) makes you likely to…
