Concern about Prince Harry has amped up with a royal insider telling New Idea that the new dad sparked huge concern after going missing following his charity polo match against brother William on July 10. “Harry was basically uncontactable for 48 hours and everyone was frantic with worry,” reveals the source. Though royal insiders hoped the joint engagement – one of the brothers’ first together since feud rumours began – would put an end to their reported rift, the event seems to have served only as additional stress for the prince on top of tension and controversy surrounding son Archie’s christening days earlier. Though the new dad smiled at his 8-week-old son while taking some time out off the field, “[he] appeared uptight and looked upon his wife with disdain”,…

He’s the talk of the town and it seems that everyone is calling for Karl Stefanovic’s return to Today. Now a source reveals exclusively to New Idea that while the TV host will be back behind the news desk next year, his time will be cut short, as the show plans to dump him – again – after a very brief stint! “Karl has a done deal to go back to Today to launch the show next year,” the source says. “For three months.” At this year’s Logies, Karl was seen hugging Nine Network CEO Hugh Marks and his appearance at the event, which he attended without his wife Jasmine, seemed to officially mark the beginning of his big comeback. “They have realised they need an alpha male co-host back…

Feisty Hey Dad..! whistleblower Sarah Monahan has finally made peace with her troubled past and is ready to move home to Australia after 20 years. “I miss my brother, niece and nephews,” says Sarah, who endured 17 years of silent torment before bravely stepping forward to accuse her on-screen father – actor Robert Hughes – of sexually abusing her behind the scenes of Australia’s favourite sitcom. “I miss the Aussie lifestyle and the food,” adds the pint-sized battler and former child star, now aged 42, and currently living on a boat in Florida with her American husband, cybersecurity professional Matt Morris. “Although I lost a few people when I spoke out about what happened on Hey Dad..!

MATT & LUKE ‘MY LIFE WAS ON THE LINE’ Hunky personal trainer Matt Filippi, 33, is returning to try his hand at the Ninja Warrior course for the second time. But this year he is also set to go head-to-head with his twin brother, Luke. “We have a healthy rivalry,” laughs Matt. “But, we do want each other both to dominate the course,” adds Luke. While the brothers are set to face the difficult obstacles of the Ninja Warrior course, Matt reveals that he is no stranger to a challenge, having previously put his life on the line in the armed forces. Matt joined the Army when he was 19 and was posted to both Iraq and Afghanistan. “We were on the frontline,” he says of the…

Prince George turns 6 on July 22 and he’s already shaping up to become a fine young prince! According to palace insiders, he’s a very independent young man and likes to go off and do his own thing. “By all accounts he’s turning into a lovely boy,” says royal expert Phil Dampier. “I think he was quite sensitive and shy when he was a bit younger, but I’m told he is growing up rapidly and being an older bother to sister Charlotte and little Louis suits him. He is very protective of them and it’s toughened him up, making him grow in confidence,” he adds. George is very happy at his school, Thomas’s Battersea in southwest London, and is doing well, according to Phil. “He’s quite artistic and likes dancing,…

“Cut a cauliflower into florets.” This is a common description in recipes, so we’ll give you the rundown on how to do it with ease! Using a sharp knife, cut away the outer green leaves, tough stems and base from the cauliflower. Starting from the side, cut a few centimetres up the base of each stem of each flower head to separate it, working your way towards the centre of the cauliflower. These are called large florets. For small florets, simply cut the large florets into small pieces with some of the stem still attached.…

One of the most amusing aspects of parenting is benchmarking how we raise our kids versus how our parents raised us. But we can get carried away with nostalgia. Here are10 things from our childhoods that would horrify our kids and probably shouldn’t make a comeback. 1. BEING LEFT IN THE CAR Sure, we’d be given a drink and maybe a packet of chips, but it wasn’t unusual to be left in the car if Mum and Dad went to the pub or a hardware shop or even a dinner party. What’s the back of a station wagon for if not to sleep in? 2. BEING SPANKED Hands, wooden spoons, a belt – honestly, we were slapped and smacked as if it was no big deal and not the ineffective,…

Q My daughter wants hermit crabs. What do hermit crabs eat and should we have multiple in the same tank? RACHEL CHENG, PERTH, WA A Contrary to their name hermit crabs are actually very social, and live in large colonies in the wild, so it is best to have multiple crabs living together. They get very lonely on their own. You can get hermit crab food from the pet shop, and this should be the basis of their diet. They are omnivores and eat a bit of everything so you can supplement their pellets with fresh fruit, veg, and dead insects. It is important that they have constant access to fresh water for drinking and salt water for bathing in to keep their gills moist and clean.…

with MICHAEL WHEELER This is our beautiful Mia, who we had to say goodbye to on April 26. We would love to know if she is happy, free from pain and knows how heartbroken we were when we said goodbye to her. Thank you. LIZ As I tune into Mia’s energy I am immediately aware of how kind and loving she was, as well as being good with children when she was physically here with you all. Mia sends her love to everyone and especially to the younger family members who loved her so much and miss everything about her – including Mia’s beautiful coat, which they loved patting and Mia appreciated so much. Mia wants you to know she is safe and comforted in her new home in the…

KID LOGIC Lecturing my grandkids about stranger danger, I told them not to talk to, accept lollies or toys from, or go for rides with strangers. “But Granny,” Master 4 protested, “I don’t know what a stranger looks like ...” E. DRAKE, CHRISTCHURCH, NZ. YOUR BED, PET? Miss 4 was showing me her pet labrador’s new bed and saying how big it was. I commented that there was enough room for her too. “No, Nanny, no,” she exclaimed. “Have you forgotten that I’m not a dog? I’m a human and I sleep in a human bed!“ P. TATE, EROWAL BAY, NSW.

Q I’m really having trouble with my body image at the moment. When I look through magazines or social media, all I see are skinny models living perfect lives. I know it’s unrealistic and not everyone looks like that, but I can’t help but think that I’m not good enough. I keep worrying about my diet and I’m exercising heaps, and I don’t know how to change my mindset. What advice do you have? I’m too embarrassed to turn to my family and friends because I find it quite silly really. KATIE, VIA EMAIL. A You are not silly, but you do need to remember that images on social media and in magazines are often digitally enhanced and do not represent all the gorgeous shapes and sizes that real people…

The former actress later posted a picture of herself in a tiny black bikini to her Instagram account which received a flurry of gushing comments. “60 is the new 40!” wrote one. “Melanie, you look amazing in a bikini!” said another. “Dang Melanie ... you really look like you are 45 years old!” another fan wrote. “Still got it,” said another.…

They’re Australia’s most successful radio duo co-hosting their popular breakfast show for almost 20 years. But it seems Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O Henderson may be about to call time on their on-air relationship. While it’s no secret King Kyle keeps bad company, parties hard and has had his fair share of sick days, our sources say adding all of this to the most recent drama of him parting ways with his former manager Andrew Hawkins in mysterious circumstances, has pushed Jackie to breaking point. With industry gossip rife with rumours the shock jock is not focused on his career and is “too demanding” at the studio, the single mum apparently doesn’t want to get caught up in the crossfire of any bad press. “Kyle is all about Kyle, chucking…

Karl Stefanovic’s ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn has reportedly put her $8 million waterfront Cremorne mansion up for sale. The former couple put an $800,000 deposit on the 650sqm Sydney harbour-front plot with plans to renovate the property into a ‘dream home’ for their family. But, just months later, Karl and Cass announced their official separation. Former ABC journalist Cass moved into the property – which is said to be in her name – with the couple’s three children in 2017 and was responsible for the mansion’s incredible transformation. At this time, Karl had already struck up a relationship with his now-wife, Jasmine Yarbrough, 34. Real estate agents were recently spotted inspecting the property and preparing it for market, according to The Daily Telegraph. It is understood that Karl and Cass will…

The young royal is known for enjoying a drink or two, and Princess Beatrice seemed to be really enjoying herself as she attended a Celine Dion concert in Los Angeles with Princess Eugenie. But while her sister kept her composure throughout the gig, Bea had a glass in her hand all evening and became more intoxicated as the night wore on, leaving some friends fearing that she is “out of control”. The recent alcohol-fuelled outing adds to a string of events where the eldest daughter of Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew has been spotted getting more than merry. Last month she was seen dancing and drinking alongside British singer Ellie Goulding at model Karlie Kloss’ wedding. And while some would say the 30-year-old is just having a bit of harmless…

The Parkes observatory’s role in the moon landing was fictionalised in the 2000 comedy film The Dish, starring Sam Neill, and the movie’s box office success brought Australia’s involvement in the historic landing to the mainstream. The 210m telescope opened in 1961 and, at that time, was the largest in the southern hemisphere and one of the first moveable ones. Its success led NASA to replicate the basic design for telescopes it built as part of the Deep Space Network. The movie did include some historical inaccuracies: no-one ever played cricket on the Dish in real life, there was no power failure on the big day and there was little animosity between the Americans and Australians who’d been working together for years by then.…

with SUSAN TAYLOR  DEAR AMANDA, Your hands have an overall fire aspect to them. This is more predominant in the left hand than the right, indicating your parental influences display more pronounced fire characteristics. The well separated lines and headlines, along with the wide-open set of the thumb and elongated Jupiter (index) finger, forges an interesting combination of elements. People with these hands are often keen to make their own way. They usually make independent choices and break from the conventional thinking of their families. No doubt you had one particularly strong parental influence. The length of the Jupiter (index) and Apollo (ring) fingers are even on your right hand. For you, this lends itself to a more balanced personality and a softer approach to life with less of a…

SOIL STORY My MM husband and I were preparing the ground so we could plant vegetables, such as pumpkin and carrots. He explained that lots of worms are needed to help cultivate the garden. When I suggested we should put wet newspaper in the compost as this is sure to attract worms, our 6-year-old grandson butted in, “Can worms read? I bet they won’t be interested in that.” CHRISTINA PINER, CHRISTCHURCH, NZ. FLUFFY DOG MAN My MM husband said he’d been chatting with some neighbours who’d commented on how nice it was that most people in our road had made an effort to get to know each other. “Who were you talking to?” I asked. “The blue-house couple and fluffy dog man,” he replied.

It was back in December 2004 that Kirralee and Mark Hughes exchanged vows in their home town of Newcastle. At the time, Mark was a star rugby league player with the Newcastle Knights and anything, it seemed, was possible. “Without a doubt, the wedding was one of the best days of our life,” says Kirralee. “It was just the perfect, most magical day,” agrees Mark. “We couldn’t wait for what came next.” But life, as Kirralee and Mark now know better than anyone, can take the most unexpected of detours. Almost six years ago, the couple’s world – and that of their three children, Zac, now 15, Jane, 11, and seven-year-old Bonnie – changed forever. At just 36, dual premiership-winning player Mark was diagnosed with brain cancer. “At the time,…

After my whirlwind Logies campaign, I had a much needed staycation at home. So, instead of sharing my latest travels with you, I wanted to share a project that was very close to my heart … The pain of a mate taking his own life stays with you. It’s always there and it certainly isn’t pretty. So last week, I accepted the invitation of photographer Glenn Marsden to put my face and feelings into his very powerful ‘Imperfectly Perfect’ mental health initiative. The idea is to show another side of familiar faces to increase awareness and acceptance of those experiencing depression, anxiety and other mental conditions. I’ve spoken before about the loss of my friend, the great Richard Marsland. Richard was an incredibly gifted comedic performer. It’s impossible to do…

He’s one of the country’s most eligible bachelors and she’s a former supermodel back to her best. But eyebrows were raised when Dr Chris Brown and Tziporah Malkah were caught getting close, seemingly confirming one of showbiz’s best kept friendship secrets. Last week, Chris and Tziporah were spotted together at the airport. They were seen sharing a cheeky kiss and a friendly laugh before boarding the same plane together. Now a source tells New Idea exclusively why the pair have kept their friendship out of the spotlight to date. “Chris and Tziporah have remained really close friends since she appeared on I’m A Celeb a few years ago,” a source tells New Idea. “They’ve worked hard to keep their friendship under wraps, because they don’t want all the attention, but…

While everyone in and out of Hollywood assumes they’ve been the best of friends for years, behind closed doors George Clooney and Brad Pitt have had a major falling out. “They had a long-running feud,” an insider tells New Idea. “It’s a real shame because they used to be so close.” Reportedly it’s the result of George not getting a role in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and suspecting his old friend had something to do with it. “[Quentin] Tarantino had originally wanted George to star alongside Brad and was really keen on getting them on film together,” explains the insider. “Then George was all of a sudden out of the running.” Seeing his one-time friend looking close with Quentin and his wife, Daniella Pick, during the movie’s Cannes…

Prince Andrew has once again been caught up in a sex scandal, following his close friend, wealthy US financier Jeffrey Epstein’s recent sex trafficking charges. Andrew and Jeffrey were introduced in the ’90s and forged a close friendship, however the royal came under the spotlight when a woman named Virginia Roberts Giuffre claimed Jeffrey forced her into sex slavery at the age of 15. In 2015, court documents alleged that Jeffrey forced Virginia to have “sexual relations” on three separate occasions with “a member of the British Royal Family, Prince Andrew”. According to the documents, Virginia was instructed to “give the prince whatever he required.” The palace denied Prince Andrew had any relations with Virginia and that the allegations “were false and without foundation”.…

He might be a lovable larrikin on set but behind closed doors House Rules star Tim still suffers the scars from being bullied during high school. “It started probably around Year 8, then got really bad between Year 9 and Year 10,” he tells New Idea. “I WAS A BIT OVERWEIGHT AND CHUBBY AND I GOT CALLED HEAPS OF NAMES” “I was a year younger than everyone and I was a bit overweight and chubby and I got called heaps of names. Then one day it got so bad, I ran to the bathroom and started crying. I rang my mum and said, ‘I am never going back’.” And, he didn’t! “I went to a new school and I never had another problem.” Despite having moved on, his brother Mat…

It was the moment half a century ago when nearly a quarter of the world stopped in its tracks to watch history being made. Roads emptied, schools paused classes and crowds gathered anywhere there was a television to see Commander Neil Armstrong become the first person to step foot on the lunar surface. As he said those now legendary words, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” it was clear the United States had won the feverish space race against the Soviet Union. During President Richard Nixon’s famous phone call to the moon, he told Armstrong and the lunar module pilot, Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin, that, “For every American, this has to be the proudest day of our lives”. The US bid to be the first nation…

The health of your ticker might not be on your agenda, but it needs to be. Heart disease is the biggest killer of women worldwide, and more women die each year from it in Australia than all cancers combined. It’s not just your nanna and her friends: “Research shows that the rate of heart attacks in women aged 35-54 is increasing. One reason is that women in this age don’t see themselves at risk and when they do experience symptoms, they often dismiss them and don’t seek medical help,” says Dr Linda Worrall-Carter, Founder and CEO of Her Heart. KNOW THE SIGNS While heart attack symptoms in men are typically described as chest pressure and arm pain, they often present differently in women and include: Chest discomfort that radiates up…

OUR SONG When Henry Olonga appeared on The Voice I had tears in my eyes and was deeply moved not only by his singing of ‘This is the Moment’ but because he is a fellow Zimbabwean and I understand what he has been through and how he bravely stood up for what was right. Nineteen years ago, my husband and I had to leave Zimbabwe because of the terrible things that were happening. How good to learn that Henry is now happily married to Tara and they have two daughters (NI June 17). Sharing his story with readers was inspiring and I pray Henry goes far with his beautiful voice. How fortunate we both are to now be in this great country. FELICITY ROONEY, SALE, VIC. DIANA’S BOYS Thank you…
