Q My brows have become droopy and furrowed over time. Can I reverse or correct this? Helen, Derby A DR AAMER SAYS: As we age, the shape of our brows change. Often, the tail end – the part that sets off the arch – becomes droopy, while wrinkling from constant facial expressions will also make eyes look tired. Ellansé is a new injectable that corrects wrinkles as well as stimulating collagen production. It can be used around the temples and brow area to restore fullness, as well as lifting and reshaping the arc and smoothing brow wrinkles. Only one 30-minute treatment is necessary, and results last up to two years. From £450. Or try ‘Browtox’ (brow Botox), which gives a subtle lift by relaxing the muscles that pull the brow down.…

BAD LUCK, JAMIE Poor Jamie Laing had to quit after an injury. I could see the disappointment in his face. He was in agony and he danced on, bless him – but once you come off and the adrenaline stops, you realise you can’t walk! Dance is dangerous, darling – I’ve had pulled hamstrings, shoulder injuries, broken ankles. I once got kicked in the head by a dancer in heels. And no, not because of something I said! OH, ANTON Old Anton got in hot water because he said it was nice to have a younger partner (Emma) – one who ‘had her own teeth’. But people don’t realise that Anton would have been joking. He has an old-fashioned sense of humour, which people take literally! You have to be…

We’re all accustomed to seeing pictures of men like 64-year-old Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro: rich, powerful and successful, with much younger wives. Proudly, they show off their beautiful partners – classic ‘arm candy’ which (let’s face it) might not have come their way had they been ordinary blokes. Let people love whomever they wish, I say, although it’s hard to avoid cynicism when an unattractive, rich, 60-something guy is snapped with his obligatory, beautiful, Eastern European accessory. Of course, she might well have a PhD in nuclear physics, but most of us doubt that’s why she’s wearing those diamonds. But never mind that cliché of younger woman, older man – what about the magnificent older females who don’t give a damn about a number on a birth certificate? Personally, I…

Kara Tointon may be just 36, but she’s been a fixture on the showbiz scene since she was 16. She played feisty Dawn Swann in EastEnders, as well as starring in musicals My Fair Lady and The Sound Of Music. She also went on to star in period drama The Halcyon, and still found time to be crowned Strictly champion back in 2010. Hi, Kara! Tell us about your new West End show, The Man In The White Suit? Well, it’s a play but it does have a bit of singing and dancing, so it’s lots of fun. Rehearsals were a bit like being on Fame Academy. I hope the audiences will have a fun night – with a lot of laughter. Is it based on the film of the…

Should Fireman Sam be axed? Of all the potential people to cause controversy, we never thought Fireman Sam would be one! But last week, the popular cartoon character hit the headlines as he was branded ‘outdated’ and, as a white man, ‘not inclusive enough’. Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service have even axed Sam as their mascot, saying they’d received negative feedback about him. ‘Firefighters nationally, and residents locally, have raised concerns that Fireman Sam doesn’t reflect the fire service today in terms of both the job itself and our workforce,’ explained Les Britzman, Lincolnshire’s Chief Fire Officer. Understandably, many people have ridiculed this move, including Piers Morgan, calling it ‘tripe nonsense’. What do you think? Is Fireman Sam a harmless cartoon designed to promote one of our emergency services to…

There was a red carpet. A five-star hotel. A wall of pink roses and, in front of it, photographers shouting, ‘Over here, please! Big smiles!’ It was my 18-year-old goddaughter Caroline’s ball to celebrate the end of her final school exams. When she realised her mum and dad couldn’t be there with her because of a family wedding in Australia, she’d asked me to accompany her. Just before we clambered out of the limo, she turned to me. ‘I’m so glad you’re here,’ she said, her eyes welling up. ‘All my life, I’ve been lucky enough to have two mothers.’ It’s hard to describe how I felt, hearing those words. Well, who wouldn’t be delighted to play such a central role on a special night? Seeing the girl whose nappies…

1 To exfoliate delicate skin OLE HENRIKSEN, SKINCARE GURU ‘Apply facial oil under an exfoliating scrub if you have frail capillaries and suffer from redness. It forms an extra protective layer for your skin.’ 2 For a DIY peel BEAUTY EXPERT JANE SCRIVNER ‘Pineapple is abundant in AHAs, which work on the skin to dissolve the glue that holds dead skin cells to the surface. Cut a section of pineapple and rub the flesh across the skin for no more than three minutes, then rinse.’ 3 For foolproof foundation LAURA KAY, MAKE-UP EXPERT ‘Once you have applied your base make-up, get a cotton bud with eye make-up remover and take off the excess in your eyebrows, as the foundation can make them look ashy and much paler than they actually…

Corrie icon Sue Cleaver hasn’t had much luck with her men on screen but, if it weren’t for her real-life hubby, she might not be alive today. Showing off her noticeably slimmer frame, the 56-year-old opened up about her horrific experience to best columnists Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes. Her ordeal began while she was filming an episode of Corrie. ‘I suffer, like many people, with IBS, and I thought I was having a flare-up,’ she began. ‘By the late afternoon, I said, “Do you need me in this scene, because I’m really not feeling great? I need to go home and sleep.”’ By this time, Sue’s feet had turned black and purple. ‘It was the hottest day of the year, but I was on set with a hot water…

HOW IT WORKS 1 Even if we exercise regularly, once we hit 35 our metabolism starts to slow down and foods we used to be able to eat without worrying, like starchy carbs and full-fat dairy, take longer to process and end up ‘sticking’ to our waistline. 2 Eating more of the foods we think are better for us, such as lean cuts of meat, low-fat yoghurt and fruit, can trigger inflammation in the body that blocks weight loss and speeds up ageing. 3 The trick, believes US food sensitivity expert and author of The Metabolism Plan Lyn-Genet Recitas, is to discover your fat triggers – foods that have a negative effect on your system. Swapping out heavy proteins, such as red meat, and starchy carbs – including pasta – are obvious, but…

MY FRIEND HAS CUT ME OUT OF HER LIFE I can’t think of any reason why my best friend of 15 years has stopped making an effort with me. We’ve gone from being inseparable (us, and our kids!) to not speaking – it feels like it happened overnight. I’ve tried so hard to keep in touch, but I feel she just wants to be left alone for now. I’m heartbroken, though, and feel rather betrayed, if I’m honest. What shall I do going forward? Lesley, Kent Obviously, you feel awful. You’ve pretty much been ‘ghosted’ by your best friend. You’re going through what amounts to a bereavement, without any explanation or support. A very similar thing happened to me and, 10 years on, I still haven’t quite got over the…

Mum-of-three Emma Willis has revealed she encourages paranoia in her children when it comes to social media, since taking over the presenting gig on Channel 4’s The Circle. During the filming of the reality TV show, the television host has been educated in ‘catfishing’ and trolling, as contestants go online to compete and communicate on a social media platform. Some even pretend to be someone they’re not, as it’s a contest of who can become the most popular poster in order to win the £100,000 prize. ‘Anyone can be anyone… be paranoid,’ Emma, 43, advises. ‘I’m such a paranoid person – and I love it. I try and instil it in my kids [Isabelle, 10, Ace, seven, and Trixie, three]. You should never fall into a trap of being screwed over…

Miloš Karadaglic, 36, shot to fame as an award-winning classical guitarist. At 17, he applied for a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music and has had an incredibly successful career since. Tell us about your new album, The Sound Of Silence… It’s a bit of a departure, while, in other ways, a continuation to my idea of merging different kinds of music into the world of classical guitar. I felt inspired by my audience to entertain them with something new. I had a break from guitar after my hand injury – it gave me a lot of thinking time into where I wanted to go next. How did you get the injury? Just playing the guitar too much! Playing hundreds of chords for many years. My body needed some…
