When Dame Deborah James asked her close friend Natalie Rushdie to sing Tell Me It’s Not True at her funeral, the jazz singer didn’t hesitate to say yes. And Natalie had the same answer four months later, at HELLO!’s Inspiration Awards, when the seeds were sown of a project to honour the campaigner, who died from bowel cancer in June 2022, aged 40. “I was sat next to [Deborah’s parents] Heather and Alistair at the awards and that’s when they asked me if I would record Tell Me It’s Not True for Deborah. I said: ‘Of course,’” says 37-year-old Natalie, in this exclusive interview. HELLO! honoured Deborah with the Divine Inspiration Award for tirelessly campaigning to raise awareness of bowel cancer, and Heather and Alistair accepted it on her behalf.…

It was more paw de ballet than corps de ballet when Dame Darcey Bussell made a surprise visit to White Lodge, the Royal Ballet School’s base in London’s Richmond Park, to meet a very special guest. The former Royal Ballet principal dancer and Strictly Come Dancing judge was in great company as she was greeted (below) by a group of young students… and the guide dog puppy they had named in her honour. Dame Darcey, who boarded at the school from the age of 13 and who already has a training studio named after her there, was delighted to meet her six-month-old canine namesake (together left). “To know that puppy Darcey is hopefully going to go on to be a little life-changer for someone with sight loss is just overwhelming,”…

From Ten Pound Pom to a million dollars, when Michelle Keegan travelled to Ibiza with her husband Mark Wright to watch close friend Rachel Antal marry Jack Dodds, she made sure her short break was long on style. Giving fans a glimpse of her holiday wardrobe via Instagram, the actress showcased outfits including a printed Siedrés maxi dress (right) and a white crocheted skirt. The bronze award went to her bridesmaid dress, however, with Michelle taking a satin halterneck design and making it her own (left, with Mark). “The most perfect day for the most perfect couple,” Michelle wrote alongside photos capturing special moments from the ceremony, which took place at the Atzaró Agroturismo Hotel. Mark also shared two big-day images: one of himself and Michelle together, and another taken…

As a former professional dancer, Shirley Ballas has plenty of experience of flying through the air, but nothing has prepared her for her latest challenge. Making it her mission to lift the profile of suicide prevention charity Campaign Against Living Miserably (Calm), the Strictly Come Dancing head judge has signed up to take part in a “skyathlon”, comprising a 100mph zip line, a wing walk at 700ft and a sky dive from 15,000ft. Shirley became an ambassador for Calm in January 2022. Fuelled by the grief of losing her older brother David to suicide in 2003 at the age of 44, and the more recent death of one of her students, she is determined to help the charity encourage anyone struggling with their mental health to talk to someone, and…

‘We are beyond excited and cannot wait to start a family. Feeling the little kicks has been magical’Pixie This time last year, Pixie Lott and Oliver Cheshire were celebrating the fact that they were newlyweds, having married in aromantic ceremony on 6 June. Fast-forward 12 months and the happy couple have another reason to feel joyous: they will soon be parents. The pop singer, 32, and her model husband, 35, announced last week that they were expecting their first baby together – and that Pixie was nearly seven months pregnant. With the baby due in September, they chose to keep the pregnancy a secret for the first two trimesters. The couple revealed their exciting news on Instagram, posting a picture of the star’s growing bump along with an image of…

‘It’s never too late to become a mother’ She was posing at a star-studded fashion show in Paris just two weeks ago, but behind the scenes Naomi Campbell was getting ready for something rather momentous: the arrival of her second child. Last week, the supermodel surprised her fans when she announced she had become a mother of two after welcoming a baby boy. “My little darling, know that you are cherished beyond measure and surrounded by love from the moment you graced us with your presence. A true gift from God, blessed! Welcome Babyboy,” she posted on Instagram with a photo of herself cuddling him alongside her two-year-old daughter. The London-born catwalk star, 53, added: “It’s never too late to become a mother.” Naomi announced her happy news last Thursday,…

Against an enchanting background of princesses, superheroes, singalongs and a brightly coloured carousel, former Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh helped make one little girl’s dream come true at a Disney extravaganza last week. The singer, actress and presenter of Morning Live joined forces with Disney UK, Make-A-Wi sh UK and The Kentown Wizard Foundation to sprinkle some fairy dust into the lives of more than 100 families who have children coping with serious illnesses. “I love the way Disney spreads happiness and joy; it’s special,” Kimberley, a Make-A-Wish ambassador for over 20 years, exclusively tells HELLO!. “The fact that the charity has come together with Disney is a perfect partnership. I can only imagine how many wishes they’ve been able to grant.” Make-A-Wish UK treats children and young people with…

He recently told HELLO! he wanted to “have as many good times” as he could. And true to his word, Jonnie Irwin was overjoyed to help his former Escape to the Country co-presenters celebrate their nomination at this year’s TRIC (Television and Radio Industry Club) awards. Making a rare red carpet appearance, the TV property presenter ensured it was a full house for the BBC series as he joined Sonali Shah, Nicki Chapman and Jules Hudson (all above) at the ceremony, held at London’s Grosvenor House. Jonnie, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2020, saw A Place in the Sun – the show he also presented from 2004 to 2020 – win the award for Best Daytime show. Accepting the accolade, host Ben Hillman paid tribute to Jonnie, adding:…

Who says wedding flowers are only for the bridal bouquet? When Stacey Solomon attended friends’ nuptials in Austria, she turned their big day into poppy day, thanks to her bold floral-printed co-ordinates (right). Accompanied by husband Joe Swash (together left), the Loose Women star and mother of five flew to Salzburg to celebrate with the couple. And with her own “pickles” safe and sound back in the UK, she was determined to make the most of their time away. On her Instagram Story, Stacey revealed that she was doing her makeup on the plane because “as soon as we get there, we’ve got to go to the hotel, get dressed and go to the wedding”. She later admitted to being “100% drunk” after toasting the pair’s first break without children.…

Fans did not have to dig deep to unearth the treasures at the UK premiere of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which featured a joint appearance by the film’s leads, Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. And although the location was London’s Leicester Square – which is home to an Indiana Jones statue – Phoebe’s look was pure Hollywood. Posing beside Harrison (above), the actor and screenwriter set the scene for style in a chainmail dress with cape detail (right) by Saudi Arabian couturier Ashi Studio, teamed with towering Aquazzura heels – which she later removed. Yet despite having nailed movie-star glamour, Phoebe said that the reality of working with a Hollywood legend had yet to sink in. “It just doesn’t feel real,” she said in one red-carpet interview.…

ANGELA BASSETT Chosen to receive honorary Oscar Actress Angela Bassett is to receive an honorary Academy Award, 30 years after her first nomination. The star, 64, was up for Best Supporting Actress at this year’s Oscars for her role as Queen Ramonda in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but lost out to Jamie Lee Curtis. Over a long career, Angela has starred on both the big and small screens, appearing in American Horror Story and Mission: Impossible – Fallout, in addition to her long-term role as Athena Grant in 9-1-1, which is in its sixth season. The actress was first nominated for an Oscar in 1993 for playing Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It. Academy president Janet Yang said she had given “transcendent performances that set new…

Hitting the road running, the Prince of Wales travelled across the UK to unveil the six locations at the heart of his ambitious Homewards programme to end homelessness. The Prince, 41, journeyed more than 1,000 miles highlighting his mission, enlisting the help of famous faces including former Spice Girl Geri Horner, England football star Tyrone Mings and TV presenter Gail Porter along the way. He aims to put all six places on a path to ending homelessness within five years, bringing together experts and resources in locally led action plans. It’s estimated that more than 300,000 people – nearly half of them children – are currently sofa surfing, sleeping on the streets, living in cars or staying in hostels and other types of temporary accommodation in the UK. A royal…

With 95% of UV rays present all year round, sun cream will always be a smart investment when it comes to caring for your complexion long term.

A bestseller in its category, La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios collection offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection that is water, sweat and sand resistant.

‘Congratulations on a beautiful collection and thank you for including us in your special day’ Gliding through the water on a rowing boat, David and Victoria Beckham made a showstopping arrival at a unique fashion show in Paris. The couple were among the waterborne stars at the Palace of Versailles for the eagerly awaited Jacquemus “Le Chouchou” ready-to-wear collection. Fittingly, given their location in the City of Love, David, 48, and Victoria, 49, were in an affectionate mood as they travelled along the palace’s Grand Canal. The former footballer looked relaxed with his arm around his wife and, in a show of gallantry, later held up a white parasol to shield her from the sun, with the couple exchanging loving smiles as he did so. BOOTED AND SUITED Showing the…

Nowadays, getting dolled up goes with the territory for Barbie star Margot Robbie. And the actress didn’t disappoint at the latest photocall for the film in Los Angeles. Far from just toying with the idea of dressing like her character, Margot took the Barbiecore trend a step further (right) in a pink Maison Valentino minidress, paired with a yellow Valentino Garavani bag and beaded bracelet – an outfit directly inspired by a doll from Barbie’s 2013 Pink & Fabulous collection. Margot was joined (above) outside the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills by her co-star Ryan Gosling. Other cast and crew posing (below) with them in front of Barbie’s trademark pink and white Corvette convertible were Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, the film’s director Greta Gerwig, America Ferrera and Michael Cera.…

He was there to present the trophies to the winners and runners-up in the Royal Windsor Cup (including Carlos Maria Ulloa, together right), but there were no prizes for guessing who the current Duke of Edinburgh looked like as he watched the action at Guards Polo Club. The resemblance of Prince Edward to his father, Prince Philip (left), was enhanced by his choice of outfit (far left): a panama hat and double-breasted navy blazer, both strikingly similar to items worn by the Duke, who died in 2021. The father-and-son mirroring is not confined to their looks, however. Sharing his father’s strong work ethic, Edward has, like Philip, championed young people through the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, of which he became patron in 2023 after years of involvement. At his…

Their globetrotting romance has spanned the world, taking in countries including Greece, France, America, Monaco and Mexico. But when Thom Evans decided to propose to Nicole Scherzinger, his girlfriend of three years, he popped the question in the country where his parents live: Portugal. Last week, the happy couple shared romantic pictures online that showed Thom going down on one knee and presenting his bride-to-be with a ring while Nicole held her hands over her mouth in shock. After the singer and reality-show judge accepted his proposal, the lovebirds embraced. Former Pussycat Dolls star Nicole, who turned 45 last week, captioned her photos with the words: “I said yes,” while former Scotland international rugby union player Thom, 38, wrote: “My Ever After.” Their romance has been conducted in some of…

The Prince of Wales has marked the end of Pride Month by appearing in a short film to discuss the importance of mental health support in the LGBTQ+ community. Prince William released the clip, in which he spoke to volunteers from charities The Mix and Shout, on YouTube, one day before the annual Pride in London parade in the centre of the capital. In the video, filmed in South London, William held a conversation with Michael Lister, 20, chair of The Mix’s youth advisory board; Sharvari Patil, also 20, a student and volunteer at the charity; and Alexis Caught, a Shout volunteer (together above from left). The chats were filmed inside a historic LGBTQ+ entertainment venue, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, rumoured to be the place into which Queen frontman Freddie…

‘They wanted to hug her a lot. As a parent… early years development is another area of interest for her’ With group hugs, warm smiles and funny stories, the Princess of Wales did what she does best when she delighted excited schoolchildren during a visit to the Young V&A Museum. It’s only days now until the start of the school holidays, when Kate will have her hands full with her children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, but last week there were plenty of other youngsters demanding her attention. And the mum of three, who was given a tour of the newly revamped venue – formerly known as the V&A Museum of Childhood – in East London’s Bethnal Green was thrilled to be introduced to pupils from nearby Globe…

It is the village he helped design as Prince of Wales, and last week the King paid his first visit to Poundbury since becoming monarch to unveil the latest developments. With the Queen by his side, His Majesty returned to the Dorset village, on the outskirts of Dorchester, that has been built according to the architectural principles he champions, to unveil two new bronze reliefs of him and his wife. He also opened the new Duke of Edinburgh Garden, which features a bust of his father by sculptor Frances Segelman, who also made portraits of Elizabeth II and Charles when he was still heir to the throne. Having admired the original bust in Buckingham Palace, His Majesty asked Frances to re-create it for Poundbury. “The King loves this one –…
