No wonder we’re a nation obsessed by the weather. A typical British summer is being lulled into a false sense of security after a day of sun, only to be caught out the next, when it rains. What we really need is a capsule wardrobe of gorgeous, yet affordable, clothes so we can switch it up. Check out our new fashion pages (p28-29) where, each week, we’ll bring you more high street style, as well as editors’ tricks. And speaking of body confidence, we’ve teamed up with Weight Watchers to give you an easy bespoke diet plan that ensures significant weight loss. Plus, we’re offering our readers free membership and a free cookbook for everyone that joins! Finally, for those of you constantly on the run, our beauty team have…

Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston, 47, took the crowd at an Italian film festival by surprise last week when she got teary and emotional, answering a searching question from a member of the public. Handing out an award at the Giffoni Film Festival in the south of Italy, Jennifer was asked by a softly spoken young woman, at a Q&A session, if she’d ‘ever woken up and not known who she was’. Clearly striking an immediate chord, Jennifer started to well up before replying, ‘There’s not enough fingers and toes in this entire room to count how many times that moment has happened to me. ‘We’re all human beings at the end of the day,’ she added. ‘Whether we’re a waitress, or we’re a baker, or we’re a student or…

Shannen Doherty, the raven-haired star of massive American shows Charmed and Beverly Hills 90210 (and, spectacularly, as arch-b**ch Heather Duke in the cult 1988 black comedy film Heathers), is difficult to recognise these days. The actress looks pale and drawn, and her once picture-perfect face is visibly ravaged by her ongoing battle with breast cancer. Shannen recently took the brave decision to upload six stark Instagram pictures which showed her having her lustrous hair shaved off, rather than see it fall out in clumps due to her chemo treatment. One particularly heartbreaking image shows Shannen visibly upset and crying while her mother, Rosa, puts protective arms around her daughter. And, together with the star’s searingly honest comments about moving forward as she battles the cruel disease, these moving pictures have…

If anyone's qualified to give advice on wedding dresses, it’s probably royal designer David Emanuel, 63 – the man behind the fairy tale dress Lady Diana Spencer wore to wed Prince Charles in 1981. And flamboyant David, plus a whole new group of nervous British brides, is heading for our TV screens soon in the UK version of hit US show Say Yes To The Dress, where bridesto-be put their trust in David to find them the perfect frock for their big day. Worried the British show won’t contain the same level of drama? Don’t be – there are more exciting, catty and heartwarming moments than you can shake a bouquet at. Say Yes To The Dress was huge in America – had you seen it before signing up to…

Our mums always told us that it does you good to get out in the open air and sunshine – but there is scientific truth that backs up this theory. Not only do our bodies create vital vitamin D from direct sunlight on the skin, but there are other benefits to the golden glare. BOOSTS YOUR MOOD Sunshine boosts levels of serotonin – the hormone that makes you feel happy. It has also been proven that exercising outdoors creates more endorphins than indoors. And, obviously, it is the best defence against SAD – seasonal affective disorder – a depression, which is directly linked to a lack of sunlight. ENHANCES YOUR MEMORY A high level of vitamin D in the blood stream can boost memory, help you process information and protect…

OPENING UP He always seems so self-assured; so on top of every situation. But Prince Harry has now revealed that, until just three years ago, he was unable to face conversations about the tragic death of his mother. Now 31, Prince Harry was only 12 when Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash – cruelly snatched away from him before he even reached his teenage years. Her death on 31 August 1997 rocked the world to such an extent that it was easy to forget that, away from the glare of the paparazzi, Diana was, above all, a devoted mother who showered her two boys with love. Diana’s death turned young Harry’s existence – and that of his older brother William, now 34 – upside down. So deep…

At this time of year, we’re accustomed to seeing our favourite celebs swanning around on beautiful, exotic holidays (while us mere mortals more often than not get landed with packed resorts, bad sunburn and dodgy tummies). Sometimes, though, things don’t exactly go to plan for the stars, either. Just saying… Ruth Langsfor Girlie holidays should be wall-to-wall sunshine, poolside cocktails, and maybe even a holiday romance, right? Not for TV presenter Ruth Langsford, whose trip to Crete with pals aged 28 brought little more than aching glands and banging headaches. The This Morning host, 56, recalls that she had been suffering from headaches before she set off, but put this down to overworking. By the time she arrived at the Greek island, ‘My head felt like it was in a…

Louis Walsh is back, and he’s determined to make this year’s X Factor the best ever. He tells Tony Cowell how Mrs O made up with Simon – and who will be helping him out at judges’ houses… I’ve heard the judging panel is one big happy family this year… Well, we all know each other, and everyone has an opinion. We’re happy and comfortable because we’ve all been in the business a long time. People say Sharon [Osbourne] and I are old, but that also means we’re far more experienced – unlike the young whippersnappers on last year’s panel, who didn’t know a thing about talent! Did you have a hand in getting Sharon back? Absolutely. I wasn’t going to go back to The X Factor unless I was…

THIS WEEK... RE SEARCH TOOLS Taking on a DIY project yourself can be rewarding as well as great for your budget, but remember, errors can be costly. Follow online tutorials on YouTube and take time to prepare. Cover carpets and furniture, and double-check any measurements before you start, to avoid wastage. If you don’t want to spend a fortune wallpapering, but lack the time or inclination to paste the paper yourself, why not swap your skills with someone more talented? Sites like letslinkuk.net (Local Exchange Trading Systems) or swapaskill.com work on the basis of building a community-focused system of trading goods and services – but without using money. LETS communities are all over Britain, so just find your local network. Maybe you can do someone’s ironing and they could wallpaper…

She’s 56, with a highprofile career, a family home to run and no prospect of a summer getaway. So it’s no wonder Ruth Langsford is desperate for some fitness inspiration. The popular This Morning presenter, is midway through a six-week stint filling in for main anchors Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, alongside her husband Eamonn Holmes. And that means lots of on-air food and wine tasting, not to mention delicious on-set catering to tempt her. The TV presenter has previously admitted to yo-yoing by up to a dress size, and her struggle to stay camera-perfect in this high-definition age has been well documented thanks to her prolific presence on Twitter. ‘There are times I forget to hold my stomach in’ There, on a daily basis, curvy mum-of-one Ruth treats her…

Last Thursday must have been unsettling for Anthea Turner who, just days before, had tweeted a carefree, sun-filled picture of herself in the pool. After divorcing husband of 13 years Grant Bovey, having therapy and then finding happiness with Liz Hurley’s ex, photographer David Yarrow, a degree of calm seemed to have settled over the star’s life. So the TV presenter, 56, who’s working on a ‘survival guide’ for divorced women (Anthea divorced first husband, DJ Peter Powell in 1998), must be cursing the TV gods that put Grant in the Celebrity Big Brother House. It’s enough to make Anthea’s blood run cold – what will he reveal about their marriage? The domestic goddess took part in the first series of the reality TV show for Comic Relief, in 2001,…

Days before my 18th birthday, my mum, Katie, handed me a small brown memory box, which she’d kept hidden under her bed, in order to help her tell me the truth about my biological father. Mum called it her ‘box of nightmares’ and, as she opened it up, lots of neatly folded newspaper clippings lay inside. They told the horrific truth: that my biological dad is the Soham murderer Ian Huntley, who killed 10-yearold schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman in August 2002. I read in horror how he, a school caretaker, had lured the two girls to his house and killed them, before appearing on television interviews, talking about the local community’s shock at their murders. When he was eventually found guilty, he was given two life terms, with…

THIS WEEK... A WORLD IN FEAR Like most people, I’m upset and sick to my stomach each time I turn on the TV and witness the latest attack by terrorists. They give no warning, they don’t fear death, and they attack randomly – airports, planes, coffee shops, nightclubs… For weeks, I’ve felt afraid every time I’ve boarded a train to London for work, and I admit I’ve been in no rush to book a summer holiday. When my 14-year-old asked me why, I explained there seemed little point in taking any more risks than we need to. Ciara was furious. ‘We can’t stop living, Mum!’ she shouted. ‘There’s more chance of you crashing your car on the way to the Trafford Centre than us being caught up in a terrorist…

A sleeveless jacket is a great way to layer up as we move into autumn. The wide stripes really help lengthen the body, and look great teamed with a sheer blouse… or a solid navy top when the weather starts to get cooler. The combination of a V-neck and angular stripes makes this maxi a flattering summer must-have. Just throw on some sandals and a sheer cover-up for a great laid-back look. Fancy updating your weekend wardrobe? You really can’t go wrong with a pair of luxe joggers. The wide side stripe helps slim the legs and works well teamed with trainers – or a pair of strappy sandals for a smarter look.…
