‘I hope we will build a really happy life here. Demy’s going to grow up with so much opportunity’ Her philosophy is: “If the door’s open, jump through it,” and that is never more true than today – as Amy Willerton exclusively tells HELLO! that she and fiancé Daniel Day have decided to live permanently in Dubai with one goal in mind; to give one-year-old daughter Demelza, known as Demy, a dream childhood. “I hope we will build a really happy life here,” says the 28-year-old TV star and model, who is a former Miss Universe finalist. “I’m confident we’re making the right decision. Demy’s going to grow up with so much opportunity. The schooling is very international so she’ll learn a second language. The longer we’ve been here, I’ve learnt that…

‘As soon as he was born I loved him so much. It has just been so lovely’ As an Olympian who broke records with her speed in the swimming pool, Rebecca Adlington is used to doing things quickly. But even she couldn’t believe how fast her baby son arrived when he made his debut in the world earlier this month. Speaking for the first time about the arrival of little Albie Bennett Parsons, Becky, 32, reveals to HELLO! that he was born less than two hours after she arrived at Stepping Hill hospital in Stockport on 4 March. “We went to hospital at 4am and he was here just before 6am,” Becky tells us of Albie, her first child with partner Andy Parsons and brother to her five-year-old daughter Summer. “I had…

‘One of the things people have got to remember is that plastic doesn’t disappear’ She may be sitting on a well-worn leather armchair in a waste recycling centre in these striking images, but Joanna Lumley’s latest campaign to wage war on single-use plastics is anything but rubbish. The photographs were taken by Mary McCartney who, like Joanna, feels passionately about environmental issues. Their message is loud and clear, as Joanna exclusively tells HELLO! : “I’ve been taught, ever since I was quite young, that waste is one of the worst things in the world, so reuse things.” The eco-conscious actress adds: “People think: Oh, I’m only one person, I wouldn’t make any difference.’ Well, it absolutely does.” Joanna is an ambassador for water-filter company Brita, which has recently launched a campaign to encourage households…

‘Age is just a number and I feel pretty young’ Strolling along the shoreline in a striking blue swimsuit, her long hair loose and holding a silk wrap, former Bond girl Jane Seymour proves once again she is one of the most age-defying actresses of her generation. The British-born star, who turned 70 in February, looked positively youthful as she joined her two granddaughters, Willa and Luna Simon, on the beach in Oahu, Hawaii last week, giving the youngsters a run for their money as they skipped, jumped and jogged along the sand. “To me, age is just a number and I feel pretty young,” the artist, designer and entrepreneur told HELLO! in an exclusive interview last month. “I don’t sit down and worry about yesterday and I don’t project too far into the…

Cynthia Erivo was a style winner in Vera Wang She’s not been a Hollywood star for long, but there were no rookie errors when The Queen’s Gambit’s Anya Taylor-Joy took to the virtual red carpet at last week’s Critics Choice Awards. The 24-year-old actress pulled off a winning move in an ethereal Dior haute couture gown that took two members of the French design house’s team 200 hours to make as she was named Best Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie for her part in the hit Netflix show – which is now slated to be turned into a Broadway musical. “She embodies the strength and fragility of a new generation of gifted actresses who are challenging the star system,” said Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri. “The dress is…
