Best的40 - 2016目录

 When Kate Middleton married Prince William in 2011, it wasn’t the bride - in her demure Alexander McQueen lace gown - who stole all the headlines. It was the pert posterior of her sister Pippa who, captured bending down to adjust her sister’s train, became the hot favourite for Rear of the Year in a tight satin shift dress that left little to the imagination. So, when the 33-yearold beauty announced her engagement to 41-year-old financier James Matthews (brother of former Made In Chelsea star Spencer) in July, anticipation reached fever pitch about what the party planner-turned-charity fundraiser would be wearing at her own forthcoming wedding. Designer names including Matthew Williamson and Jenny Packham were bandied around and, with sister Kate tipped as matron of honour and a…

Viewers of Cold Feet will have seen Pete (right) gradually slip into depression over the past few weeks while his wife, Jenny, carries on with her life – unaware of his suffering. The symptoms of depression should be very obvious – but only if you know what to look for. So, watch out for these tell-tale signs your partner is struggling. ONE IN 15 MEN DRINKS TO MASK DEPRESSION ISSUES CONFIDENCE CRISIS People with depression can have very low self-esteem, feeling they are a failure and totally useless in their own and other people’s eyes. Often with depression people can feel guilty, too, for letting their partners and family down, and will mention repeatedly how useless they are. Sometimes it’s caused by a genuine disappointment, such as job loss, but…

‘I there’s one thing I’ve learnt’ You have to listen to your heart – however crazy your choices might seem to other people.  Sometimes, when you meet somebody, you just know they’re the one for you. Your eyes connect, chemistry sparks and instantly, you’re smitten. Well, for me, it was a bit different than that. I hadn’t actually met Darren Hayes when I fell in love with him – but I knew long before we were even in the same room that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. This was because we’d met and fallen for one another on Facebook, while we were living in different countries. But we felt so strongly about one another that Darren, now 43, proposed the first day we met…

 Famed for her hourglass figure, Holly Willoughby is one of those women who always looks gorgeous. Even when she was carrying a bit of extra weight after third baby Chester, born in 2014, Holly carried off those curves with style. Attending the wedding of pal Declan Donnelly in a pretty floral dress last August, Holly looked as voluptuous as ever. Two months later, she was still fabulously curvy in a red dress as she interviewed hypnotist Colin Cloud on This Morning. Did you know? Holly speaks to her look-alike mum, Lynn, ‘a few times a day’, and still runs everything past her. ‘If I’m about to buy shoes, I’ll go, “Mum, should I be doing this?”’ she says. In recent months, though, that famous figure seems to be disappearing…

JOIN THE CONVERSATION This week, Kerry Needham is facing the devastating possibility that her son, Ben, is dead. Although he disappeared from the Greek island of Kos in July 1991 – aged 21 months (right) – she has always believed he was still alive. But, acting on information from a new witness, police now believe Ben may have been accidentally killed by digger driver Konstantinos Barkas. They are investigating two new sites – and have found an area of ‘decomposition’ that they say could be the body of the missing toddler. Barkas died from stomach cancer last year, possibly taking this terrible secret to his grave. Whether or not he had anything to do with Ben’s disappearance, this begs the question: how could anyone live with themselves, not only…

HOW IT WORKS One big reason many of us start to gain weight is that we eat too much. Plates have grown over the years, and our portions have expanded with them. The result is we consume extra calories without even thinking about it. 1 Add plenty of fruit and veg to each meal – they fill you up and boost your nutrient levels. 2 Use the traffic lights. Some ready meals can be high in fat, salt or sugar – the ‘traffic light system’ that marks nutrients, green, orange or red helps you spot those that aren’t. Choose those marked mostly green. 3 Don’t add salt to meals. Salt is where many meals still score poorly. Taste your food first, and if it needs extra punch try pepper, chilli…

BEST’S CELEB INSIDER TALKS TO DERMOT O’LEARY Simon told me he felt like the new boy at school on the first day of auditions – how did you feel to be back in the fold? It felt just like home, really cosy. And, as I know all the judges [Simon, Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger] so well, it has really felt like being with a bunch of friends and getting back together. In that sense, it was a bit like a school reunion, it was lovely. How do you think the new panel have gelled? What was the atmosphere like at the auditions? They fell into it really quickly. Simon and Sharon hadn’t spoken in a while before the show this year, but suddenly there they were,…

The other week, a young man called Nathan Thursfield came on to Loose Women for a chat. He was a very nice boy, but I felt incredibly sad for him – because he’s had £40,000-worth of plastic surgery to try to look like his idol, Katie Price, and yet he’s still not happy with himself. And last week, 19-year-old Jack Johnson caused controversy on This Morning when he talked about the £20,000 he’s spent to look like David Beckham. He’s now in debt, and has apparently also used some of the £15,000 he receives in benefits each year to pay for Botox and fillers. What really annoys me is that these people can just walk into a cosmetic surgery, and the doctors will go, ‘Yeah, OK, I’ll do that,’ instead…

Leaderboard dramas, Gleb’s cheeky prediction, and red-hot moves aplenty! SOME WILL ALWAYS FIND FAULT I hate it when people put a nasty spin on things. Some viewers were upset that Daisy topped the leaderboard, calling it ‘a fix’ – but, come on, she looked beautiful and danced like a dream. NO CLOTHES WOES… YET! Wardrobe slip-ups are all too common on live TV. Tess has spoken about the perils of high heels and, while nothing’s gone wrong for me so far this series, my flies have opened in the past. Luckily, I wear black, so nobody notices! Will is one to watch I have high hopes for Danny, Louise, Daisy… and definitely Will. He has beautiful acting skills – he sets the scene, like watching a play. He’s smart, hard-working…

Laura Bullock, a 22-year-old shop assistant from Stoke-on-Trent, never imagined that some private photos she sent to her boyfriend, Jake, would end up all over the internet. But that’s what happened to her three years ago, and the devastating consequences led to her relying on anxiety medication, and even battling suicidal feelings. Unfortunately for Laura, she had fallen victim to the latest online crime: revenge porn. ‘I was 19, and had been dating Jake for three months when I decided to send him naked pictures via Facebook message,’ she explains. ‘I’d never done anything like that before, but as far as I was concerned, it was a normal part of a relationship. I had friends who did it all the time, and had no reason to think that they…

Fresh from Dragons’ Den An eco coffin can cost from just £100, right up to £10,000 for a metal one. Go local Paying for a funeral director is expensive, but they will collect, store, prepare and deliver the deceased to the church, and ensure all legal documents are completed. They can also help with the coffin (wicker or cardboard ones cost less than wooden caskets) and transport. A local independent funeral director is usually less costly than using a national chain. Cremation costs less than burial. An alternative is ‘direct cremation’ – the body is collected from a mortuary during working hours and cremated. You can then collect the ashes and hold a ceremony at another time. DO IT FOR FREE Ask your local hairdresser or beauty salon if…
