TRINNY: ‘I DON’T REGRET TAKING DRUGS’ Fashionista turned make-up guru Trinny Woodall made a surprising admission about her past. Discussing whether she regretted taking drugs for 10 years, the star, 61, told Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, ‘I actually don’t, because it gave me such a depth of having to deal with life at an early age… It rounded me up more as a person.’ She continued, ‘When I got into my 30s, I had a lot of experience to draw on to be resilient, so thereby I don’t regret that. It happened and I should draw upon it.’ After two spells in rehab and getting clean in her late 20s, Trinny has now been sober for more than three decades. Hollywood’s new hottest couple? Could there be a new…

Many fans were shocked when Ulrika Jonsson announced she had done one year sober in June – unaware that she had ever struggled with alcohol. Although she had revealed in December 2024 that she had gone six months, the true depths of her problem were only revealed recently. ‘I was necking rum from the bottle ’ In a new podcast interview, Ulrika – who turns 58 this month – opened up on the details, admitting that she was ‘necking rum from the bottle’ and confronted by a friend who said that when she had called her, she didn’t understand what she was saying as she was drunkenly slurring so much. Surprise reaction But there was a shock backlash resulting from the podcast – which had been recorded on video –…

Staring at yet another negative pregnancy test, I felt nothing. There were no tears, no heartbreak. It was my ninth IVF cycle, but I felt completely emotionally detached from the process. I’d forgotten what I was doing IVF for. I no longer associated it with having a baby. Costly injections, expensive supplements and surgeries had become my normality. Clinics would prey on my desperation, suggesting additional tests and experimental treatments – all of which came with a hefty price tag. My husband James and I were working and saving to fund a medical addiction, sacrificing our finances, happiness and wellbeing. It was 2022 and I had spent six years in a continuous cycle of IVF. I was 35 and stuck between wanting to live freely, but also caught in the…

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU TOMATOES… Who knew the humble tomato could throw such a stylish soirée? When the invite landed – to a tomato-themed dinner party – I wasn’t sure what to expect. But what unfolded was far more elegant than anything I could have imagined. I was greeted by a long table dressed to impress, set beside a hydrangea-lined pool glowing red with underwater lights. Bright red candles flickered from silver candelabras, while tomatoes – heirloom, cherry, beefsteak – were arranged like designer accessories across the tablescape. Yes, really. The evening began with Bloody Marys served on arrival, the scent of fresh basil drifting through the air and soft jazz playing as laughter bubbled over clinking glasses. The menu was a love letter to the tomato at its juicy,…

WHO REALLY LEAKED THE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT MEETING? I can’t decide if the meeting between the King and Prince Harry’s top aides was the ‘secret peace summit’ it’s been dubbed or merely a conversation between communications professionals. On the one hand, it was a positive first step. The meeting happened with both Harry and Charles’ blessing. There’s been precious little interaction between the two households, and Harry has publicly said his father refuses to speak to him. So it was progress that the King’s communications secretary Tobyn Andreae met Harry’s comms chief and head of his household, Meredith Maines, and Liam Maguire, who’s in charge of Harry’s UK PR. But there’s a long road toward reconciliation between Harry, 40, and Charles, 76, let alone Prince William. The last time Harry…

Soothe sunburn by tomorrow It might be easy to get caught out in the sun, but red and inflamed skin doesn’t have to ruin your holiday… We all know that being out in the sun for too long can result in both short- and long-term skin damage. Excessive sun exposure can lead to skin cancer and premature skin ageing. But if you do succumb to sunburn this summer, the first thing to do is cool the skin by taking a cool shower or gently applying cool towels for 15-20 minutes. Repeat every few hours to reduce the heat, swelling and inflammation of the skin. Applying aloe vera or an aftersun cream as a next step can help replace lost moisture and have a soothing effect. If possible, keep any such…

Cut hundreds from your water bills Most of us seriously underestimate the amount of water we use at home. Like to take a guess? On average, we get through 145 litres per person per day – that’s equivalent to almost 95 large bottles of water*. In April, we had the biggest average rise (26%) in household water bills in England and Wales since privatisation so, it’s no surprise that a third of us are now trying to cut the amount of water we use, according to University of Bristol research, highlighted by BBC Radio 4’s Money Box. TIME FOR A METER? Around 60% of homes have a meter. If you don’t, use an online water meter calculator tool to find out if you would save. ‘For some households, switching to…

10 SIMPLE STYLING TIPS 1 FAST FIX Upgrade your headboard for an easy refresh. Buy an inexpensive slipcover for the existing headboard or make one with a length of fabric. 2 RENEW ARTWORK Wall art can transform a bedroom. Buy plain canvases and acrylic paints to create your own custom designs. 3 SWAP TO SHEERS Heavyweight curtains can block light and make a bedroom feel gloomy. Lighten the mood with sheers or lightweight cotton panels. 4 PAINT A CANOPY Define the area around the bed with a painted canopy in a contrast colour. Make it slightly wider than the bed and extend roughly a third over the bed on the ceiling. 5 SWITCH LIGHTS Free up space by swapping bulky bedside lamps for wall-hung lights. Plug-in designs can be fixed…
