Everyone here’s a little bit in love with former Emmerdale actress and this week’s Best cover star, Lisa Riley. According to the team who styled her for our shoot (see her incredible transformation on p9) she couldn’t have been more bubbly, funny or down-to-earth. So it’s no surprise that her astonishing weight loss is not thanks to some expensive surgery, but because she finally decided it was time to overhaul her diet (including her wine consumption!) and take up exercise – because her health was worth it. If ever there’s been a role model for sheer determination, it’s Lisa. On that theme, if you’re struggling with the idea of fitting into swimwear this summer, turn to p50 for our feature on the best diet for your decade. Eat right for your…

Lisa, wow! You’re 40 in July, and is this the smallest you’ve ever been? Yep. All my mates call me Benjamin Button – I’m doing it the wrong way round! Most people put on weight as they approach middle age. Why now, though? Nearly losing Dad [Terry] last year terrified me. Looking at him all tubes and beepers was like something from CSI. My nephews don’t have Nanna – I want them to have Grandad around. Has your dad followed your example, then? Well, I b*****k him all the time! I popped round the other week, saw a loaf of Warburtons in the kitchen and was like, ‘Get that in the frigging bin, NOW!’ Do you realise now how bad your diet was? Absolutely. My weight loss began with Strictly,…

Never one to shy away from a heartfelt comment, the usually affable Richard Madeley has shocked fans by exploding with fury over an incident at his Cornwall home. Eyebrows were raised when the former This Morning presenter posted the registration of a van driver on Twitter and raged, ‘So who r t 2 peeping Toms who just flew a drone over my garden nr Looe? Chased them down to a white van Drove off when challenged.’ Hours later, he tweeted that the ‘peeping Toms’ had handed themselves into the police with ‘babbled excuses and apologies’ which, he said, were ‘total bulls***t’. He went on to thank Devon & Cornwall Police for its help in dealing with the ‘creeps’. It seems Richard, 59, had become enraged after spotting a teenage boy…

It was the love story that no one expected to last, yet Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee were married for 28 years. She was 20 when they met. He was 40 and the magician warned her to find someone ‘her own age’ before she was labelled a ‘gold-digger’. But Debbie refused to listen and they married in 1988 when Debbie was just 27. ‘He was the love of my life,’ she said, just days after her 77-year-old husband died. ‘I’m waiting for him to walk back through the door.’ Paul was buried on 1 April in a humanist ceremony. The coffin was adorned with roses and a picture of Debbie and the words, ‘Love you always.’ Among the mourners was Loose Women’s Gloria Hunniford, who persuaded her friend to open…

EVA LONGORIA TOP If your outer layer is a bulky poncho or wrap, wear a slim-fitting top underneath. SANDALS Pick up a pair of summer flats in warm tan, a shade that’s hot right now. SUNGLASSES Tinted lenses give aviator-style frames a SS16 makeover. WRAP Eva’s distinctive wrap is from a boutique in Lake Como, Italy. Stylish and versatile, a cosy cover-up like this is well worth splashing out on. JEANS These flattering trousers from Zara make a great alternative to jeans. LAID-BACK SUNDAY Recreate Eva’s flattering style and add shape and interest to your outfit by pulling together some of the weight from the front of your poncho and securing with a brooch or safety pin. SHOPPING TRIP As the weather warms up, a light kimono-style knit is a…

1 KATE’S INDIA STYLE FILE LOVELY IN LEMON Arriving in Bhutan, Kate stepped off the plane in a pastel dress coat by Emilia Wickstead, giving a subtle nod to the 60s. Known for recycling her favourite accessories, Kate used the same LK Bennett clutch and heels she wore with her Temperley London dress. HIGH-STREET HEROES Unsurprisingly, the gorgeous £50 maxi dress worn by the Duchess on day three of the tour sold out in a day, but e-tailer Glamorous has promised it’ll restock soon. Let’s hope the same goes for her equally affordable earrings. At £8 from Accessorize, they won’t break the bank! BEST’S FAVOURITE Kate’s £795 lace frock by Temperley London had us all green with envy. Adapted with modesty panels for her meeting with the Indian PM, it…

Since I appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, people have asked why I shared my story of domestic abuse on a TV talent show. But it’s something we need to start talking about. It’s a huge part of my past – and many other people’s present. I first met Stephen Moonesamy in 2009, when he started work in my theatre school in Northampton. My parents were both performers, and I loved acting and singing. I’d given it up to teach when I had my two sons, Jack and Charlie – although I still loved to belt out a song in the house. Stephen joined as a ballet instructor and was handsome and charming. We sparked immediately. I’d just broken up with Charlie’s dad and thought that, as a single mum, no…

THIS WEEK... Last week, little Harper Beckham was snapped at a nail bar in LA with mum Victoria having her nails and feet done. Just days before, the papers ran a story about the rise of facials for under-fives and research by the British Association of Beauty Therapists and Cosmetologists found that two in three mums are now booking salon treatments for their under-eights. Now the nails, I almost understand – I’ve no doubt Harper went along with her mum and wanted to play ‘beauty’ and that’s lovely. Personally, I would rather let her paint my nails in the comfort (and privacy) of my own home – even if it went up my arms – than allow her to have a professional manicure and pedicure. Alternatively, I would have promised…

With film and TV experience on shows including The X Factor, 10 Years Younger and Extreme Makeover, Nilam Holmes-Patel is the perfect person to ask about looking good in front of the lens. The founder of beauty brand High Definition says, ‘The modern camera can be quite harsh, so these days make-up needs to step in and recreate the effects of an old-fashioned soft-focus lens, for a more flattering and forgiving look.’ Get ready for your close-up with Nilam • The better the skin looks, the less work your make-up has to do, so having a strict skincare routine is vital. Gently exfoliate once a day to remove any dead skin, and make sure you cleanse and moisturise both in the morning and at night. • If skin’s hydrated, make-up adheres…

PERSONALISED UNION JACK CAKE, £65, BISCUITEERS Fly the flag with this…

SHORT & SEXY It wasn’t just Tom Hiddleston who caught our attention in The Night Manager! We’ve fallen for Elizabeth Debicki’s glamorous crop. If you want to recreate this look, the creative director of Regis, Kieron Fowles, advises… ‘You should ask your stylist for a cut that is shorter at the back with longer, graduated layers, as this will give flexibility and movement through the front of the hair. ‘This style is also extremely versatile, as it can be worn in a number of ways – either with the hair swept directly back off the face, or styled forward into a delicate fringe. You will need to visit your stylist every six to eight weeks to maintain the shape and definition.’ A CHIC CROP IS ELEGANT AND SOPHISTICATED BRILLIANT BOBS…

Tina O’Brien, herself a mum to Scarlett, seven, with ex Ryan Thomas, and son Beau, one, with partner Adam Croft, loves motherhood but was never a fan of the discomforts of pregnancy (who is?!). So imagine how she felt when, returning to the Street as Sarah-Louise Platt, she had to don a false baby bump for three months. Hi Tina, so Sarah seems obsessed with baby Harry’s crying… Poor Sarah. She’s suffering from a form of postpartum psychosis, I think. She gets really overwrought, and latches onto the idea that if the baby’s christening is perfect, everything will be OK. So when it isn’t (in reality, Harry is just crying like all babies do), she loses it. As a mum-of-two, can you sympathise with the tiredness? Absolutely, though I don’t…

She is the weightloss sensation of the year and, speaking exclusively to best, Lisa Riley spills the beans on just how she brought about her astounding transformation. plus-size dancer who shimmied with confidence in 2012’s Strictly. But the svelte Lisa Riley of today is, quite literally, half the woman she was. Stunning doesn’t come close to describing Lisa’s appearance. And meeting her in person, it’s obvious that the girl from Oldham can’t believe it herself. Positively glowing, and looking even smaller in real life, Lisa seems a little dazed by it all, but also deliriously happy – and so she should be. Glimpsing a photo of herself from our shoot, her eyes fill with tears. She’s not used to seeing slim pictures, she explains – particularly in clothes she ‘could not…

Co-host of ITV’s Good Morning Britain since 2014, Susanna Reid, 45, is one of the undisputed stars of breakfast TV. After all, she also co-presented BBC’s Breakfast show for 10 years before her move to GMB. She’s also spoken inspiringly about co-parenting once a relationship has broken down – although not everyone could take it quite as far as Susanna! Not only do she and her ex-partner, journalist Dominic Cotton, 49, take equal interest in how they bring up their three sons (Sam, 13, Finn, 12, and Jack, 10) but, unusually, they continue to live under the same roof. Susanna tends not to go into details about her home life in south London. But she’ll happily explain why she and Dom live at the same address. Although it makes for…

THIS WEEK... TAXING TIMES DEATHLY DUTY Eamonn: Why do you work? Who do you work for? I don’t care who you are or what your political leanings are, your first instincts are to feed yourself and your dependents, and put a roof over their heads. That is why we all graft and we need an income. Most of us have an instinct to help the children we have brought into the world and hopefully be responsible citizens, not dependent on the state. But we’re happy to pay taxes, knowing that the state is there for those who are more unfortunate. So with all these tax stories doing the rounds, from the Prime Minister’s accounts downwards, I would just like to make this point. While knowingly evading tax is morally wrong,…

Known for her comedy, Sally Phillips played Shazza in Bridget Jones, ‘bear with’ Tilly in Miranda and Mrs Bennett in the recent quirky movie Pride And Prejudice And Zombies. But Sally, 45, also has a serious side. Happily married to IT specialist Andrew Bermejo and living in London, she’s a mum-of-three – to Ollie, 11, Luke, eight and Tom, four – and she’s on a mission to raise the profile of kids like Ollie and make us understand why they are so special. QUEEN OF COMEDY Sally, can you explain why you feel so strongly about some of the attitudes towards Down’s syndrome? Yes, I’m working on a documentary for BBC One about the screening test, and the new law that you can terminate a pregnancy up until birth –…

DOWNLOAD YOUR MUSIC FOR FREE If you shop with Amazon and have bought any vinyl or CDs from them in the last 16 years then you could be entitled to the equivalent music downloads for free!

She got a standing ovation from the judges, so is shy 12-year-old Beau Dermott the next Susan Boyle? Tony Cowell speaks to Britain’s Got Talent’s latest star How did you feel after Simon’s comments about your performance? [Giggles] It just felt incredible – I wasn’t expecting that kind of response. I was nervous before I started singing, then I forgot the audience and just got into the character in the song. Is Simon your favourite judge, or is it Amanda, since she pressed her Golden Buzzer for you? I still like Simon best, but I love all the judges. Amanda was really kind to me after my performance. It was all very exciting, and a day I will never forget. How many times did you have to rehearse the song?…

Could the news finally be fun? Expect strong views and swordcrossing from a panel of eight, including LBC Breakfast presenter Nick… Can you tell us about The Pledge? It will be like having a good healthy argument or banter in the pub or restaurant. Life would be very boring if we all agreed with each other and much more fun if people have spirited, robust conversations. That’s what makes the world go round. What’s the stand-out news issue for you so far this year? The migrant crisis. What would you change about the UK? I would move it 20 miles further away from Europe. What kind of personality do you think you will bring? I want to be known as the one that is always right. I will be the…

Although we’re all living longer, it seems many of us aren’t eating right to feel the best we can. Dietician Dr Carrie Ruxton believes that, as we age, it’s key to ensure our diets are rich in important nutrients, like vitamin D, calcium, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids. By eating right for your age you can stay slimmer – and feel happier, too. IN YOUR BUSY 30s What’s going on: At this age, most women are busy with family or work – often both – and, while bones are still developing, and hormones fluctuating, research shows that only four per cent of us eat the recommended five-a-day of fruit and veg. And most don’t eat enough fibre, which causes weight gain. You’ll need: Calcium to help with bone density, iron…
