As Detective Sergeant Kate Fleming in the hit BBC drama Line of Duty, Vicky McClure usually gets her man. So it was a case of life imitating art when she married film producer Jonathan Owen in her home city of Nottingham on what she called “the best day of my life”. Vicky, 40, and 52-year-old Merthyr Tydfil-born Jonny shared their special day with family and friends including her Line of Duty co-stars Martin Compston and Adrian Dunbar and series creator Jed Mercurio. The bride looked stunning in a white off-the-shoulder Kate Halfpenny gown, covered with a lace cape, and a billowing veil. In contrast to the short crop she sports in her role as AC-12’s no-nonsense police officer, Vicky wore her hair softly waved in a half-updo thanks to celebrity…

Their journey to fatherhood has taken over three years, with euphoric highs and heartbreaking lows along the way. But now, sitting with their twin son and daughter in their arms, Ollie and Gareth Locke-Locke finally have the family of their dreams. “The babies are here – this is what we’ve been waiting for. It’s this wonderful moment when we know that we’re the fathers we always wanted to be,” says Ollie, 36, as the two Made in Chelsea stars invite HELLO! into their south-west London home for their first photoshoot as a family of four – or six, if you count their dogs Aslan and Bear. “The journey makes the end result all the more worthwhile and now they’re here, it’s the best gift,” adds Gareth, 34, of their precious…

‘She seemed to be really enjoying herself. She was dressed casually, but was wearing a splash of red lipstick and big gold earrings’ To the revellers dancing at an all-night music festival, the woman sipping a drink in the DJ tent looked strangely familiar. However, in her skinny jeans, designer trainers and dark, off-the-shoulder top, the Princess of Wales easily blended in with the well-heeled crowd soaking up the atmosphere at the Houghton Festival in Norfolk. Kate’s impromptu visit not only gave her a rare chance to let her hair down, but was a reminder of the days when she was a footloose girl-about-town. Before she married Prince William, she was a regular at nightspots including Boujis in South Kensington and Mahiki in Mayfair, where she loved to dance and…

Jane Fallon will readily admit she is the “worst person in the world” to go on holiday with. The best-selling author isn’t a fan of the beach or the pool and can’t sit still for long. City breaks are more her thing. But one thing she does have in common with most holidaymakers is the desire to devour a good book or two while getting away from it all. “For me, reading takes you out of your real life and transports you to something else,” she tells HELLO!. “I find it so relaxing and such a great way of calming my brain down. I think it’s one of the most mindful things you can do – it’s pure escapism.” When she does get away from it all, she is never…

It’s definitely a mistake to have worn the dress to the airport. Alana knows that the second she walks past the terminal’s Wetherspoons – rammed at 5.30am – and is greeted by a chorus of “Lost your groom, love?” by a bunch of drunk stags in matching T-shirts. But once she’d squirmed herself into the ultra-fitted dress at home – one last try to see if it would evoke the feelings she knew she was supposed to be feeling today – she couldn’t get it off again. The more she’d twisted to reach the tiny buttons that ran down its delicate back, the more she’d sweated and the material had stuck, imprisoning her. So now here she is, at Stansted Airport, in an ice-white strapless mermaid gown. Having bolted from…

The Vault is the spot to hold dinner parties. Most would be lucky to reserve it six months in advance, but Katy? Katy has a way of getting what she wants. And for her 28th birthday, she wanted the new vault room at the famously hip Dominion Bistro. The guest list is a mere six of us: Katy; her cousin Naomi; Naomi’s husband Riyaz; our dearest friend Mariska; and me. That’s five. Rowan, Katy’s ex-boyfriend, is the sixth. So help me. In true Katy form, my invitation arrived by mail on black linen paper embossed with gold letters. She personalised mine -- Dearest Lucy xxx -- her calligraphy impeccable. Also Katy: she doesn’t email unless absolutely necessary. She knits. She bakes shortbread cookies and gifts them on vintage plates topped…

The rise and fall of fur, sunlight rippling across his perfectly groomed coat – it’s enchanting, hard to look away. For 30 minutes, she’s watched the cat sleeping on three blankets, folded and piled on top of one another. She’s cold, but can’t bring herself to disturb the cat. She’d rather shiver, gooseflesh spreading, and observe. She has already taken a photo of the cat, curled up like a croissant, and posted it on Instagram with the hashtag #NotMyCat. It has 30 likes. People love cats. What Helen doesn’t post, however, is how much she wishes she knew who the cat belonged to. Even more, she wishes she knew how the cat got in in the first place. The windows have been closed for days, almost a week, because a…

Capri STAY All the allure of a heady Italian summer can be found at the tremendously pretty Hotel La Palma (1), which threw open its doors just a month or two ago. Let your thoughts wander as you loll poolside in the afternoon sun, idly thumbing your choice of lounger literature – then, as the light dwindles, head out for a starlit turn in the sceney piazzetta, a hop, skip and jump away. TASTE Linger over wonderfully slow-paced lunches at old-school La Capannina, where the creamy ravioli alla caprese is worth the trip alone. More low-key and somewhat off the beaten track, Le Grottelle affords knockout views across the inky-blue expanse. Be sure to catch aperitivo hour at one of the bars in the piazzetta, drinking ice-cold spritzes as the…

‘Houses are to be enjoyed with the people we love — that’s a belief I inherited from my grandmother’ If ever a house was well named, it is María Juan de Sentmenat’s idyllic estate on Majorca. Bel lagre, which means “beautiful countryside” in Latin, sits amid a fragrant pine forest and lush gardens full of olives, oranges and lemons, on a hill overlooking the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean. Although the estate lies just a few minutes from the island’s capital, Palma, it is an oasis of calm. María’s grandfather, Vicente Juan de Sentmenat, Count of Ribas, built the house in 1945 as a summer residence, but it became his family’s full-time home. He loved to gather the extended Sentmenat clan here during the holidays, as María, the head of…

Dazzling dresses, a sprinkling of sequins and a sense of anticipation in the air can mean only one thing: a new series of Strictly Come Dancing is almost upon us, and the show’s professional dancers are revelling in being reunited for another year of fun. “It’s my favourite time of year,” Dianne Buswell tells HELLO! as she, Jowita Przystal, Nancy Xu and Luba Mushtuk take a break from rehearsals to join us for an exclusive photoshoot celebrating the beginning of Strictly season. “I count down the days until we start our rehearsals because it’s so much fun. This is my seventh year on the show and I can honestly say I get more excited each time,” adds the Australian dancer, 34, just as Jowita enters the room to show Dianne…

They have shared a special bond since they were tiny children, and last week the King paid a touching tribute to his younger sister as she celebrated her 73rd birthday. His Majesty marked the occasion by sharing two sweet throwback photos of the siblings on the royal family’s social-media accounts, accompanied by the message: “Wishing Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal a very Happy Birthday today!” One previously unseen image, taken behind the scenes at Buckingham Palace after the King’s coronation on 6 May, shows the newly crowned monarch, dressed in the purple Coronation Tunic, the Robe of Estate and the Imperial State Crown, smiling warmly at Princess Anne, who is wearing her uniform as Colonel of the Blues and Royals, complete with a plumed hat. The other picture, in…

The statue on the platform of St Pancras looms high above Maddie. Two lovers entwined, their bronze arms knotted around each other, their faces close. A reunion or a goodbye – Maddie isn’t sure which it is supposed to depict. She remembers thinking that it was romantic the first time she saw it, but now she feels as if the whole thing was constructed specifically to mock her. “I got us some sandwiches to eat on the Eurostar,” Maddie’s husband staggers up behind her, weighed down by bags, a tuna mayo clutched in one hand. “Probably costs about a tenner for a bag of crisps, once you’re on the train.” Maddie takes the cardboard packet from him with only the briefest of longing glances at the champagne bar feet away…

Stevie felt a thrill of excitement. As the ferry approached the small port of Amalfi, the tight jumble of bleached white houses with their terracotta roofs looked every inch as beautiful as she remembered. They seemed to be stacked up the side of the mountain like wonderful wedding cakes and as the azure blue of the Mediterranean sparkled like a jewelled sea in the afternoon sunlight, Stevie had to resist the urge to whip out her sketchbook right away, but she stopped herself; there’d be time for that in the next few days. As she stepped off the boat, along with a collection of day-trippers, holidaymakers and a few locals on their return journey from Salerno, Stevie congratulated herself on making it here at all. It would have been easy…

York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and notice the young woman standing before me. Her smooth countenance and black velvet gown lined with pearls leave me conscious of how dirty I am from the week spent travelling to York. “I am here to see Mr George Strong,” I finish once I’ve gathered myself. Her mouth opens in surprise and I swallow down my fear that my welcome has been withdrawn. George has weathered the years well since we last met. I’m sure I’m not the only one of his…

She is peeling off her wet swimsuit when the yummy mummies arrive. Glossy and stick thin, they swiftly surround her, talking loudly and across each other, their voices filling the fuggy silence of the changing room, completely oblivious to her presence. Sam feels the brief equilibrium gained by her 20-length swim evaporating like mist. It has taken her an hour here to remember that she hates these places: the apartheid of hard bodies, the corners where she and the other lumpy people try to hide. She has walked by this place a million times and wondered whether to go in. She realises that these are the kind of women who leave her feeling worse than if she’d never come in at all. These are women with designer athleisure, perfectly cut…

TV RUNNING WILD WITH BEAR GRYLLS The adventurer is joined by celebrities including Ashton Kutcher (together left) and Florence Pugh to take on the challenges of the snowy peaks of the Canadian Rockies, the deserts of the Great Basin in Nevada and Costa Rica’s tropical rainforests.

Una Healy has much cause for celebration right now. She recently released her latest single, and last month, along with her The Saturdays bandmates, Mollie King, Rochelle Humes, Frankie Bridge and Vanessa White, marked 15 years since their debut single, If This Is Love, stormed the charts. “We’re all in a group chat and we were wishing each other a happy 15 years,” says Una, 41, catching up with HELLO! for this exclusive photoshoot and interview. “Vanessa said: ‘Imagine, we can actually say that was 15 years ago now,’ then she put the emoji of a granny,” adds the star, laughing. Una still enjoys a close bond with her fellow Saturdays after the band went on hiatus in 2014 and often shares photos on social media when they reunite. “It…

She will go to any lengths to support causes close to her heart, so when Ellie Simmonds learnt of an opportunity to do her bit for marine conservation, the Paralympian dived straight in – literally. Ellie, 28, travelled to Indonesia to see for herself the work that is being done to restore the world’s coral reefs, and to help spread the word about just how important it is. Joining forces with the Sheba Hope Grows coral reef restoration programme, Ellie went snorkelling (above right) over the Hope Reef off the island of Bontosua in the Spermonde Archipelago, something she called “a privilege”. In a video released to help raise awareness of the importance of coral reefs, the retired swimmer, who won gold medals at the Paralympics in 2008, 2012 and…

Smiling and waving as they drove to the local church, the King and Queen embraced royal tradition as they kicked off their summer holiday at Balmoral. His Majesty was spotted at the wheel of his Audi, looking happy and relaxed as he and the Queen arrived at Crathie Kirk for the Sunday service. Wearing a beige jacket, white shirt and dark tie, he beamed with delight, while Camilla, in a white blouse, blue dress and red hat, looked equally cheerful. For decades, an outing to the country church in the village of Crathie unofficially signalled the start of Elizabeth II’s summer break at her home in the Scottish Highlands, and it seems that the new monarch plans to follow suit. He and the Queen are believed to be sharing their…

‘Lilah’s nearly walking and can say a few words — her first word was “Mama”’ There’s a buzz in the air as Lucy Mecklenburgh prepares for a trio of celebrations with her actor fiancé Ryan Thomas and their children Roman, three, and 15-month-old Lilah. Not only does the TV personality and model have a birthday surprise in store this week, she is also basking in the success of her fashion collaboration with online retailer Very, in which she features alongside her stylish youngsters. And that’s not all. Lucy and her family are proudly supporting her soon-to-be brother-in-law, Waterloo Road actor Adam, on the next series of Strictly Come Dancing. “The whole family is so excited,” Lucy tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview. “Adam is such a hard worker and knows…

‘You’re late.” Evangeline glanced up from her workbench, neck already aching from the intricate creation before her: a hat decorated with no fewer than six hummingbirds, pinned to netting so fine it would look as though the creatures were, indeed, flying – if one ignored the metal spikes impaling their tiny bodies. Mr Hornbeam was glaring at her down his beaky nose, his small black eyes pinning her to where she sat. “That’s the second time this month. I see everything, as you know.” His tone was triumphant. Evangeline opened her mouth to tell him about her mother who lay glassy-eyed in one of the family’s two rooms all day, about her younger sister who sometimes cried quietly in her sleep from hunger. But before she could speak, Mr Hornbeam…

The doors to the ambulance bay burst open. Johna was running down the hall. “Sara, MVA happened right outside. Mercedes versus ambulance. They’re pulling the victim from the car right now.” Sara jogged toward the trauma bay with Eldin close behind. She could feel his anxiety ramping up, so she kept her voice calm, telling him: “Do exactly as I say. Don’t get in the way.” She was slipping on a sterile gown when EMTs rushed in with the patient strapped to a gurney. They were all soaking wet from the rain. One of them called out the details. “Dani Cooper, 19-year-old female, MVA with LOC, chest pain, shortness of breath. She was going about 30 when she hit the ambulance straight-on. Abdominal wound looks superficial. BP is 80 over…

Lily, London, 1997 12th Day of Mourning By the time I was 25, there were only two things I remembered about Mumma. The first was that she smelled of watermelons, the second was that we were happy. We’d taken our father’s name of course, but a name is only half a story. The other half existed in that strange hinterland: hushed questions, Chinese whispers, that had faded over the years to silence. And that was the problem. Like a dripping tap or an unpaid bill, Mumma was the squatter at the back of my brain forever waiting for the moment to surprise me. The beginning of my ending is easy to mark. I was standing at the living-room window, watching my neighbour’s funeral procession make its third lap around the…

Whether you grew up aspiring to be brave like Merida as she rallied for her freedom, or fearless like Mulan as she fought for her country, each Disney Princess has taught us a valuable lesson about finding your inner strength. In homage to its much-loved heroines and in its 100th anniversary year, Disney has created the Wonder List – a list of fun activities for children to tick off, inspired by the unique traits of Disney princesses. To help children discover their personal passions, Disney has enlisted the help of Strictly Come Dancing star Helen Skelton and Olympic athletes Alice Dearing and Jessica Gadirova. The trio each feature in a new Disney YouTube series called The Wonder Webisodes which focuses on encouraging children to try new things and explore new…
