Documentary maker Stacey Dooley and her boyfriend Kevin Clifton are quick-stepping into parenthood after she revealed they are going to be welcoming their own tiny dancer together. Showing off her bare baby bump in an Instagram post last week (right), Stacey – who won Strictly Come Dancing with Kevin in 2018 – proudly announced: “Gaaaaaaang… We are having a baby! So bloody delighted. Kev, you’re magic, I love youuuu.” Stacey, 35, also added: “Was becoming impossible to hide.” Former Strictly professional dancer Kevin couldn’t hide his excitement at the cha-cha-change to come, sharing the same image to his social media and writing: “We’re having a baby! [heart emojis] And I think my girl @staceydooley looks beautiful pregnant.” The couple’s romance began a few months after they danced their way to…

Don’t be fooled by her recent Instagram post: if there’s one person whose career is neither washed up nor on the rocks it’s Amanda Holden. In fact, things were looking distinctly peachy for the TV favourite as she took a breather (left) while filming her latest project in Sicily with Alan Carr. Uploading a photo of the pair tucking into some fruit (right), Amanda captioned it : “Life’s a peach. Work break.” The duo have teamed up to film forthcoming BBC series The Italian Job, and hope that the results will give viewers warm and fuzzy feelings as they turn two dilapidated flats in a Sicilian hill town – purchased for just €1 each – into stunning holiday homes. “Alan and I came up with the idea together,” Amanda revealed.…

They became close during the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour earlier this year, but Maisie Smith and Max George’s latest moves are purely romantic ones. The former EastEnders star and the singer gave a lift to passers by when they were spotted in hold on a London street (right) during a shopping expedition. Maisie and Max met as rivals on the BBC show in 2020, and cemented their friendship after signing up for the UK-wide tour (left) that kicked off in January. However it was on the Keeeep Dancing spin-off tour this summer that sparks flew between the pair. Max, lead singer of The Wanted, joined Maisie – next on our screens in the new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins – on a recent holiday to Crete and…

Newham-based Sugar Whatson, 51, spends her time helping her community, including cooking daily for those in need during the pandemic; creating gift hampers for terminally ill people and single parents at Christmas; dressing up to hand out bears to children and adults with learning difficulties; sending wellbeing and sanitary packages to survivors of domestic violence; and fundraising to provide meals for people in Gambia. She also provides food packages to low-income families. Liverpool-based trio Kath Devlin and Agnes and Joe Williams set up Paul’s Place, a free suicide bereavement service for the people of Merseyside, after Kath’s brother and Agnes and Joe’s son – both named Paul - took their lives 22 years apart. “The service they have built is more than a support group – it’s a candle in…

This Morning host Alison Hammond will be battling it out at this year’s National Television Awards (NTAs) after being nominated for Best TV Presenter. The 47-year-old star is up against Graham Norton, Bradley Walsh and Ant and Dec, who have won the category every year since 2001. Her co-presenters Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were missing from the list for the first time in five years. Writing to fans on Instagram, Alison said: “Me being nominated for A NTA and believing my own Hype!!! Thanks to everyone who nominated me honestly over the moon.” Viewers can vote for their favourites across several categories, with nominations also including a posthumous Authored Documentary nod for Tom Parker for Inside My Head, which followed the singer’s journey living with a brain tumour.

Nearly two years after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced an exclusive £18m podcast deal with Spotify, Meghan has launched her first series, Archetypes, with tennis superstar Serena Williams as her first guest – and last week the new podcast shot straight to the top of the charts. In her introduction, Meghan calls Serena her “dear, dear friend” as she explains how she asked the sporting legend “to come on to talk with me about that dirty, dirty word when it comes to women – ‘ambition’”. During their conversation, the two women, who first met in 2010 but cemented their friendship in 2014, share personal stories about balancing their ambition with motherhood, and their struggles with being new mothers in the public eye. In one exchange, Serena, who describes…

As well as being a future Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Cambridge is following in Diana’s fashion-forward footsteps. And while Kate has her own unique sense of style, she also appears to take outfit inspiration from her mother-in-law. From her formal outfits for official engagements to glamorous eveningwear, the Duchess often pays more than a passing nod to the woman she succeeded as a royal fashion icon. “Kate, like the late Princess Diana before her, understands the importance of every outfit she wears on the world stage,” says HELLO! Fashion editor Jill Wanless. “The subtle messaging that signals a mood: defiant, playful, in control – we’ve seen many emotions translated with a killer dress or statement suit. Style is a language that Diana was, and Kate is, extremely fluent in…

Sitting opposite a desperately ill young man in the newly opened Aids unit at the London Middlesex Hospital in April 1987, the Princess of Wales reached out to shake his hand. The gesture not only brought immense comfort to the dying man, but also sent a powerful message around the globe and helped transform attitudes to and awareness of the condition. At a time when people with Aids and HIV were shunned because of fear and misinformation, her message was clear: the virus could not be transmitted by touch and here she was proving it. “Diana was the first person of any prominence who started to take an interest in what was – and still is – a very stigmatised condition,” Ian Green, chief executive of HIV charity Terrence Higgins…

As the daughter of an Olympic medallist, Shakira Akabusi has grown up with a strong work ethic – and a little bit more. “I learnt about hard work, determination,” says the influencer and podcast host, whose father is former sprint and hurdle star Kriss. “But what I also saw was my dad relying on his support network and having a team.” Over the past seven years, Shakira, 34, has built her own network: an online community following her Strong Like Mum platform, which encourages mothers like her – she has children Rio, seven, Ezra, four, and two-year-old twins Asher and Arya – to reconnect with their confidence, creativity and passions. It’s a theme she has carried on into her new book, The Strong Like Mum Method. “I love the community…

Outlining her New Rules for birthday celebrations, Dua Lipa surrounded herself with friends – and fashion – as she marked turning 27 with a week of partying in Ibiza. In an Instagram post to fans, she wrote: “27 feels like heaven… Thank you for the birthday wishes.” Taking a break from her Future Nostalgia world tour, the singer invited guests including her younger sister Rina to what was later described as “Dua’s Boot Camp”. Highlights included a private yoga session in the grounds of their deluxe holiday home, dinner, a trip to nightclub DC-10 and an array of cakes (below). Known for her love of fashion, Dua showcased a series of outfits, including a vintage leather Thierry Mugler design (left and right). “Pulled this dress out my vault for birthday…

To celebrate her 52nd birthday, Queen Rania of Jordan has shared new official portraits, marking a year of private joy and her continued dedication to public duty. The photos show her warm smile and steady gaze, as her signature golden-brown hair tumbles over her shoulders in a number of immaculate outfits, including a shimmering gold trouser suit and a classic black dress with red embellishments. But her commitment to her role as Jordan’s First Lady and as a global influence for positive change are more important to the Queen than her outfits, stylish though they may be. A statement from her office in Amman said: “Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah will celebrate her birthday on Wednesday, August 31, marking another year spent in the service of Jordan’s people in…

She was the most photographed woman in the world and few people had a better ringside seat to Diana’s life than Ken Lennox, who spent two decades working alongside her. The veteran Fleet Street photographer, who first met the young Lady Diana Spencer when she was an unworldly 19-year-old and remained in touch with her throughout the rest of her life, charted the highs and lows and captured thousands of beautiful images in the process. Recalling the early days of knowing her, Ken tells HELLO!: “She was very young and naive, but she had this great smile; huge and generous, that lit up everything. She was the whole package… We’d never seen anything like that in the royal family before. “People thought she was shy but she was never shy,”…

‘They had a lot in common; they picked up the struggle of those who were oppressed, people who were discriminated against’ Side by side, their hands locked together in friendship, Princess Diana and Nelson Mandela looked clearly delighted to meet one another at last. It was March 1997 – five months before her death – and Diana was fulfilling a long-held ambition and visiting her hero at his holiday home in Cape Town. Kindred spirits who were united in their efforts to help the disadvantaged, they shared a mutual admiration that was plain to see. The Princess said afterwards that she was “absolutely thrilled” to meet South Africa’s then President, while he said he was “still trembling” from the encounter. But it turned into a moment that touched not only…

Diana, Princess of Wales has been immortalised on screen many times, with films, miniseries and, now, a new TV documentary bringing her memory back to life. The Princess, an HBO production being shown on Sky Documentaries and Now TV, uses archive footage to chart Diana’s extraordinary journey from royal bride to global icon. Without using a narrator or expert commentary, the film sees events unfold through the eyes of the public, from Diana’s engagement and wedding to her divorce and funeral. “We have kind of consumed the analysis and re-analysis of this story by osmosis − whether it’s from watching The Crown or the endless newspaper front covers that are still about Diana, and we’ve all created our own views and perspectives,” says director Ed Perkins. “Our intention was to…

Model Eva looked radiant at the opening of Tiffany’s Vision and Virtuosity Exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London. She has said that more make-up artists and hairstylists are coming to sets ready to work with black models: “Now they ask questions like: ‘What products do you like? What products do you use? What do you use on your hair? Can I use this?’” The 20-year-old Ugandan star added: “They want to learn and it’s good. It’s best to learn rather than be nonchalant and think you know everything.”…

BURRATA WITH TURKISH FIGS, HAZELNUTS & HONEY Serves 2-4 Takes 15-20 minutes “Figs come into season towards the back end of summer, when a glut of beautifully dark, purple specimens adorn the shelves of local greengrocers and supermarkets in the UK, imported mainly from France and Turkey. There are a number of ways to take advantage of this deluge – the humble fig is endlessly versatile – but often I find it needs little more than some good cheese and a drizzle of best-quality honey.” INGREDIENTS • 6 fresh Turkish figs• 250g/9oz burrata• 3 tbsp floral honey, mixed with 1 tsp of warm water• 3 tbsp best-quality extra virgin olive oil• 50g/2oz hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped• Picked basil leaves• Raisin or walnut bread, to serve (optional) 1.

After tying the knot in a quickie ceremony in Las Vegas in July, Jennifer Lopez celebrated her marriage to Ben Affleck in true diva style with not one, but three wedding gowns. The dazzling line-up of Ralph Lauren designs was part of the newlyweds’ Old Hollywood-themed wedding at Ben’s 87-acre estate in Georgia, just outside Savannah. Sharing images and sketches of the gowns on her fan newsletter On The JLo, Jennifer wrote: “The dresses were dreamy… thank you Ralph Lauren.” ELEGANCE AND STYLE For the ceremony itself, she wore a classic turtleneck column dress embellished with hand-attached ruffles, creating a voluminous skirt and 20ft train. The exquisite outfit was completed with a cathedral-length veil and Mikimoto jewellery. ‘The dresses were dreamy… thank you Ralph Lauren’ Jennifer ‘They were right when…

Twenty years after finding fame in the first Harry Potter film, Emma Watson has fallen under the spell of a new man. The Little Women star was seen with Brandon Green, son of retail tycoon Sir Philip, in Venice (right). First linked last year, when they were photographed at a London heliport, the couple share a passion for the environment. Emma often uses her platform to champion sustainability, while Monaco-based Brandon, a keen diver, supports Prince Albert and Princess Charlene’s charitable work around marine conservation – riding with Charlene in her fundraising Water Bike Challenge in 2020. The romance follows Emma’s split from US businessman Leo Robinton in 2021, but has stayed largely under the radar. “I would hate anyone that I were with to feel like they were in…

Billie Mulreany, 58, from Southend, raised her four children alone, working several jobs while battling Crohn’s disease. She has also set up Real People to support people with learning disabilities by offering services including employment opportunities and offering community respite. “She is an inspiration and I can only wish to become half the woman she is. She has had so many obstacles put in her way but always finds a way to push through,” says her daughter Jenna Medlock, who nominated her. One year after tragically losing her mother at the age of only 50, Kelly adopted her aunt’s son Thomas, after she was unable to parent him. Unwilling to let Thomas be fostered, the 34-year-old from Southport, Merseyside, gained full guardianship of him as a single mum while working full-time…

‘To have Harry here is everything. He’s always compassionate’ The Duke of Sussex’s polo team celebrated a jubilant win as they clinched the annual Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Cup in Aspen, Colorado. But Prince Harry’s mother was never far from his mind as he spoke movingly about the 25th anniversary of her death on 31 August, saying the day would be “filled with memories of her incredible work and love for the way she did it”. He added: “I want it to be a day to share the spirit of my mum with my family, with my children, who I wish could have met her. Every day I hope to do her proud.” Diana was also present in spirit as the thrilling tournament was raising money for Sentebale, the charity…

It was the best-selling book that Diana secretly collaborated on to reveal that her fairytale life was not all it seemed – and that her marriage was falling apart. Now, 30 years after it was published, Andrew Morton’s explosive memoir Diana: Her True Story, has captured the imagination of a new generation still fascinated by the Princess. “Many people, when the book came out, responded to Diana on a human level and that’s the way they respond to her now,” Andrew tells HELLO!. “There was glamour but there was also warmth and intimacy. She was charismatic and she was a new kind of royal – touchy-feely and giving cuddles and kisses, rather than wearing white gloves and carrying a big handbag. “She had the courage to express and to expose…

She has unplugged her microphone, stepped away from the sofa and enjoyed some well-deserved downtime over the summer holidays. But next week, Holly Willoughby will be returning to our screens after an eight-week break from the award-winning show that she co–hosts with Phillip Schofield – This Morning – and she is raring to go. “You soon get back into the swing of things,” says the presenter. “And that’s nice when there’s two of you… we’ve always got each other to fall back on.” It helps, of course, that the dynamic duo have such a close bond, both with each other and the rest of the This Morning team. “We’re one great big family and that’s what makes the show so special and unique. “We definitely miss that during the summer,…

Chris Floyd would have been a loner if he hadn’t become a photographer. “Portraiture is a way for me to make contact with other humans. I’m an introvert, not particularly sociable, quite shy and don’t really know what to say to people when I meet them socially,” he says. “But when I have a camera in my hand, I have an alter ego of someone much bolder and more obnoxious… It’s the person I have to become to do the job.” That job has seen him work with some of the biggest celebrities over the past 30 years, from Sir Paul McCartney to David Bowie, Sir David Attenborough and Cate Blanchett. Last year, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge commissioned him to take the official photos to celebrate their tenth…

A self-confessed home bird, Rose Brookes’s light-filled farm conversion in the Kent countryside is more than the place where she lives with husband Ben and their two children Alba, seven, and five-year-old Kit. Once a malthouse, her six-bedroomed home is also the studio for her business Thicket & Thimble, where a small team of artisans lovingly create handcrafted keepsake dolls using vintage Liberty prints and hand-dyed fabrics, as well as children’s interiors and lifestyle collections.
