Gaby Roslin, 54, who lives in London with her publisher husband David and two daughters, Libbi-Jack, 17, and Amelie, 12, shot to fame hosting Channel 4 morning show The Big Breakfast with Chris Evans in the 90s. The presenter, who recently hosted Channel 5’s Shop Smart Save Money and has a regular show on BBC Radio London, talks about her daughters, why she can’t abide negativity, and the painful losses that remind her health is the most important thing… You look fabulous. What’s your secret?! I absolutely love walking – on average, I walk between five and seven miles every day. My husband bought me a Fitbit three years ago. You can become quite addicted to it, and to fresh air. But that’s quite a nice thing to be obsessed…

1 Mascara gone sticky? Simply fill a cup or bowl with hot water, sit your mascara tube in it for a few minutes, and voilà! It’ll be like new. The same goes for lumpy lipglosses. 2 Fix shattered blusher or powder by collecting all the pieces together. Crush the bits up in the compact, add a couple of drops of rubbing alcohol (available from the chemist) and mix together. Smooth the mixture down using the back of a spoon and leave overnight to dry. 3 To revive dried-out liquid eyeliner, first, clean the applicator with contact lens solution. Next, add a few drops of alcohol-based make-up remover to the liner case, then shake or stir it well. 4 Turn a lipstick stub into a tinted lip balm. Mix old leftover…

Walking down the street, I caught the flash of a camera in the corner of my eye. ‘Not another one,’ I thought, hiding a smile as yet another paparazzo photographed me. ‘Kate! Over here, Kate!’ bellowed a stranger. I looked over, gave my best pout, flicked my hair, then continued down the road. Little did those snappers know, I’m not actually Kate Moss. In fact, my life couldn’t be further from that of the 45-year-old top model – but our incredibly similar looks do give me an insight into what it must be like to be her. When Kate Moss found fame in the 1990s, like everyone else, I couldn’t help but admire her striking looks and slender frame. But I didn’t give her much thought apart from that. Even…

HOW IT WORKS 1 The fact is deprivation while dieting doesn’t work. Yes, you might cut out all your treats to get a quicker result, but as soon as you stop your slimming plan, and add those treats back in, you’ll likely put all the weight back on again and more – especially if you’ve gone into binge mode at the first sight of sugar. 2 A better approach is therefore to learn how to lose weight and enjoy a small treat a day. Our plan below helps make this easy. It contains three calorie-counted meals a day with a dessert added to your evening meal. 3 When you get to dessert, don’t just wolf it down quickly – you want to use an approach called mindful eating to ensure…

Our celebrity agony aunt, Vanessa Feltz, tackles your problems with her usual wit, wisdom and humour FRIENDS’ BIG FEUD My two closest friends of 25 years have had a huge fallout – over money. The first pal lent the second a hefty sum for a holiday last year, and she continues to make excuses about why she can’t pay our first friend back yet. While I understand why my friend who lent the cash is frustrated and hurt, the other has been my best mate through thick and thin. I don’t want to lose either of them. This has affected me so much and I can’t see it having a happy ending. Lara, Margate If you value your friendships, and it’s clear you do, stay out of this one. Don’t…

Cheeky chappy Josh (JP) Patterson was no stranger to making headlines during his time on Made In Chelsea. But since leaving the posh reality TV show in 2017, Josh, 29, has been making headlines for very different reasons. After the birth of his daughter, India (who turns two on 12 June), Josh discovered that his best friend, Ben Tansley, had been in a motorcycle accident – after visiting him and his newborn. It left Ben paralysed from the waist down, but he refused to accept defeat. Months later, he asked Josh to complete the Berlin Marathon with him, which they did, almost exactly a year later – and they did it in wheelchairs. Most recently, Josh completed a new World Record challenge, to become the first able-bodied man to travel…

TOP TIP A scoop neck is not only flattering, it’s the most simple way to give a classic shift a 2019 twist. TOP TIP If spaghetti straps aren’t your thing, layer a tight-fitting T-shirt underneath for a flattering cover-up. TOP TIP Instead of jeans, consider a pair of wide-leg trousers. Team with a bold shirt for a casual yet luxe look.…

Would you rent your wardrobe? Ever feel like you have nothing to wear? Well, fear not, as retailers have come up with an interesting solution that’s set to challenge the ‘fast fashion’ shopping habit. Nuuly is a new subscription service that allows customers to rent up to six items of clothing a month for a fee, after which you can send them back (where they’ll be cleaned and pressed, ready for the next loan) or buy them for good. Set to launch in the US this summer, with brands including Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie signed up, it’ll roll out to the UK later this year if successful. While some members of the best team loved the concept of borrowing clothes, believing it’ll reduce clothing waste and add variation to your…

Most kids change their minds hundreds of times before deciding on a career, but from a young age, I knew I wanted to be a Commando. We were a military family, and, although my dad hadn’t served, he’d always told me stories about my grandad, Sergeant William Arnold Jones. He’d fought in the Second World War and there were photos of him around our house while I was growing up. Sadly, he passed away when I was only two years old, so I didn’t get to know him, but I was always asking Dad about his life – his job. Then, when I was nine, my dad, Wyatt, took me to the Chatham Dockyards, and that was the first time I saw the Royal Marines Commandos. ‘That’s what I’m going…

I’m worried alcohol is taking over my life. After a long day at work, I have my glass of wine, cook dinner and have another to wash my food down–but by the time I goto bed, I’ve nearly finished a bottle. This is nightly, and worse at weekends as I don’t have to get up for work. I live alone, so sometimes I think it’s boredom or loneliness. I’m aware that I drink too much – sometimes I’m even sick in the shower the next morning. But I still don’t stop… Grainne, Liverpool MANDY SAYS: Alcoholism is when you use booze to fix a feeling – then it becomes a habit you can’t control. Even with the strongest will in the world, if you’re alcoholic, you just won’t be able…

£1.77 PER SERVING Chicken and rice This really quick dinner is a great option for a mid-week meal. It has a slight Middle Eastern vibe, with the harissa paste and pomegranate seeds giving it a nice, subtle kick of flavour. This is a great recipe to use up leftover rice. I use brown rice for a nutty flavour, and it’s a slightly healthier option than regular white rice.

Reese Witherspoon, 43, shot to fame in Legally Blonde and Cruel Intentions. Now a successful producer as well as an A-list actress, the mum-of-three is married to talent agent Jim Toth. What’s it like working with Meryl Streep in the new series? Amazing. She is an absolute doll, so game for everything. She wanted to go out for dinner with us and tell us all her stories. Nicole and I discovered one thing Meryl IS bad at – bowling. At one point, she actually threw the ball the wrong way. But she is such a good sport. How did you manage to create a second series, considering the first was based on a book? Well, we were lucky that Liane Moriarty, who wrote the novel, came up with a novella…

EastEnders actress, Tamzin Outhwaite, recently posted an emotional quote on her Instagram, about having courage after feeling ‘brutally broken’. Ahead of her ex Tom Ellis’s wedding to screenwriter fiancée Meaghan Oppenheimer, 33, the 48-year-old uploaded the image, which read, ‘If you’ve been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to other living beings, then you’re a badass with a heart of an angel.’ ‘If you still have the courage to be gentle to others, you’re a badass with the heart of an angel’ Fans were quick to respond. One sympathised, ‘My cheating ex is remarrying soon, too. We also separated in 2014. Some days, I still feel like my heart is broken, and I haven’t managed to open myself up to love again.’ While another commented, ‘I’ve…

Hollywood leading man Will Smith, who started out in hit ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, could charm anyone. And Will has conjured up plenty of magical roles in his long career – but none quite like this one. Yet, while he had his wish to play the Genie granted for Disney’s live-action Aladdin movie, there is sadness. The last person in the role was the late, great Robin Williams – a hero of Will’s. But despite his nerves, he smashed it. Here, Will – who celebrated his 50th birthday last September with a skydive in Dubai with his wife of 21 years, actress Jada Pinkett-Smith, talks parenthood, keeping fit and why he’s stopped worrying about success… Will, how was following in the footsteps of Robin Williams as the Genie? It was terrifying…

‘I’ve always prided myself on being able to spot ‘BS’ at 100 paces. It’s why I’m not too sold on spas, whose exaggerated claims and tinkle-twinkle music are designed to exploit people’s insecurities and willingness to spend huge amounts of money. So, I’m pretty speechless at the idea of anyone paying up to £4,500 for a Gwyneth Paltrow Goop-style ‘wellness’ weekender package at a posh London venue and hotel, where you’ll be treated to some non-stop gobbledy-Goop, served up with a great deal of laughter (all the way to her bank!). Privileges include ‘a goopy swag bag’ and ‘all-day plant-based eats’, plus to maybe meet Gwynnie’s personal trainer, Tracy Anderson, or – control your excitement – even Gwynnie herself. I should think so, for four-and-a-half grand! Even the daft logo…

Wearing full makeup when the heat keeps rising isn’t the most appealing thought, but you needn’t have to settle for a caked-on appearance. As well as the typical water- and sweat-proof formulas now available, it’s worth opting for lighter textures that let your skin breathe – introducing your new season make-up bag! Fake it yourself 10-minute complexion booster The key to getting that elusive natural glow mainly lies in exfoliation, but if using products with acids feels too confusing, try a more natural approach. Yoghurt contains low levels of lactic acid, a natural exfoliant, while strawberries are full of vitamin C, nature’s own brightener. Used together, they help encourage a radiant complexion. Mash up three strawberries (removing the green stalk!) and mix with 2tsp Greek yoghurt. Apply to your face, avoiding…

Cloud eggs I really like these as a great alternative to poached or fried eggs. You only need to serve two and as long as you bulk out with toasted pumpernickel or sourdough and a few toppings, you have a healthy snack. 4 medium eggs, at room temperature, separatedPinch of table saltPinch of ground pepper½ pinch of cream of tartar Preheat the oven to 230˚C/gas 8. 1 Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and half a pinch of cream of tartar. Whisk, using a hand-held electric whisk, at a medium speed until thick, glossy and creamy. 2 Spoon four mounds of egg white on to a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. With a small spoon, make a small indent in…

… husband Ozzy’s health battle He’s had a really tough year. It started off with flu, which went to bronchitis, which went to pneumonia. He was hospitalised, and he was well on the road to recovery when he got up to go to the loo in the night, tripped, and hit his head against the corner of a table. He’s recovering now, thank God, but every day he has to work with the physiotherapist. Really the challenge isn’t his injuries, but his state of mind and keeping him positive. … how her kids are doing Kelly has had two or three years off, getting her life together.

TRAVEL SNAPSHOT Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic is not just one of the many all-inclusive resorts the country is renowned for. It’s a luxury community combining apartments and top-class hotel and leisure facilities. It’s situated in La Romana, on the country’s south-eastern coast, on a 7,000-acre estate – making it roughly twice the size of the average UK village. Casa has beautiful sandy beaches, a marina and polo facilities, golf courses and a café with a stunning view of the Chavón River Valley that could easily have been the location for a Star Wars movie! So, even if you’re not a golf fan, there’s loads to do. And such is the size of the resort, each party gets its own golf buggy to explore the estate – great…
