this week in bella Happy birthday to Olivia Colman, who turns 50 on 30 January. It may be a milestone, but the star of The Crown and Broadchurch is planning a low-key celebration at home in leafy Norfolk. “I tend to not go out. I've got my lovely friends and I know Norfolk very well so I can go to places where there aren't other people. We go to each other's houses for food and chat,” she said. “I don't tend to go to restaurants. Unless you can have a little quiet place.” Born Sarah Caroline Colman, Olivia has become a national treasure since her breakout role on Peep Show. Accolades from TV show appearances such as Broadchurch and Twenty Twelve soon followed, before her performance as Queen Elizabeth II…

celeb news As King Charles and Kate Middleton continue to recover from their surgeries, there's hope that the double health scare could bring the family together and possibly see a royal reconciliation with the Sussexes after Prince Harry reached out to them both. The monarch has “postponed public engagements for a short period of recuperation”, thought to be about a month, after having corrective treatment for an enlarged prostate last week. Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales has been recuperating in hospital after undergoing “planned abdominal surgery“ and will be unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter, at the end of March. 'They were very close' We're told Prince Harry sent them private messages of support from himself and wife Meghan Markle, in what is seen as an olive…

celeb news The past few years have not been the kindest to Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford. On top of all the health struggles the GB News host has had to endure and the loss of his beloved mother, Eamonn has been locked in a long-running dispute with HM Revenue and Customs. The presenter, 64, said that selling his home in Belfast, Northern Ireland, had been the only real option and that HMRC had “taken away everything I ever worked for”. The financial problems have taken their toll on the former This Morning star, who believes the stress of the dispute – which left him having to shell out “hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal fees” and ordered to pay £250k after he lost two appeals – caused his health…

CELEB NEWS & GOSSIP As proceedings began last week to officially end Paddy and Christine McGuinness' marriage of 11 years, sources have revealed that Christine is taking no prisoners. She's reportedly keen to stay in her £4million home and remain the primary caregiver for her and the presenter's three children: ten-year-old twins Leo and Penelope, and Felicity, seven. An insider said, “The gloves are off, she was good to Paddy, she stayed at home and brought up his children while he was out earning money. It's going to be an expensive divorce for Paddy – Christine has had enough.” After meeting in 2007, Christine, 35, and Paddy, 50, eventually tied the knot in Cheshire in 2011. In July 2022 the pair announced their split. At first they continued to co-parent…

real life On the morning of our first wedding anniversary, my husband Owen made me breakfast in bed and gave me a sweet note he'd just written. It said, “I want you to know that I chose you. I want to spend the rest of our lives together.” It may seem an unusual thing to say a year into marriage, but Owen and I hadn't exactly met in a conventional way… The first time we ever laid eyes on each other was on our wedding day, a year earlier, in March 2020. Prior to that moment, we'd been complete strangers, both having applied to be participants on Channel 4's Married At First Sight, a TV show where strangers meet on their wedding day after being matched my experts. While Owen's…

Relaxing in the shade, I handed pieces of fruit to my daughter. It was September 2020, and we'd left our stifling flat to sit on the grass outside with some other neighbours. Then my son, Nahid, 26, came over holding up a fan. “I bought this for you,“ he grinned. “You've got such a good son,“ said one of the neighbours, admiringly. I smiled with pride. I couldn't wish for a better boy. For many years it had been just me and him – a tight team – but he'd been thrilled for me when I'd remarried and given birth to his baby sister, Zafreen, now three. There was an age gap of 22 years, but he was a doting big brother. He was so hardworking too. From the age…
