She died last Wednesday after a long illness and the scenes of flowers outside her house near Zürich in Switzerland said it all. People talk about legends but Tina Turner really was one. What a woman, what a life, what a career. Asked shortly before her death how she would like to be remembered, she said, as ‘The Queen of Rock’n’Roll’. She will be. An incredible back story, full of personal hardship. Her mother walked out when she was 11, and by her late teens, she had famously married a talented – but abusive – man called Ike Turner. But when Anna Mae Bullock walked out on her husband with their two children in the Seventies, her career entered the stratosphere and she became an global icon. Tina, as she…

Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, has said she is ‘deeply saddened’ following the news that Helen Holland, the 81-year-old great-grandmother who was hit by a police motorbike that was part of her security detail, has died. The accident happened on 10 May in Earl’s Court, west London, and since then, Mrs Holland had been in hospital in a critical condition, with her family ‘praying for a miracle’. But last week they made the announcement that she had died. Ms Holland’s son, Martin, told the BBC his mother died after sustaining ‘multiple broken bones and massive internal injuries’. He said she fought ‘for her life for nearly two weeks… but irreversible damage to her brain finally ended the battle’. On Wednesday morning, a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said: ‘The Duchess of Edinburgh…

THE WAY I SEE IT… Wise words from our feisty, fearless and funny columnist ‘Who knew there could be such a furore over a daytime TV show and its presenter? No, not me – Phillip Schofield! Anyone would think the King had abdicated, people have got their knickers in such a twist over it. Well maybe not in general but certainly in media circles – where everyone has something to say about it, including me. I said on GB News he should step down and make way for someone people actually like… but we will see if ITV oblige with the second bit. And of course, Piers Morgan, who was also prised out by what he refers to as the “pack of savages” of daytime, said he has sympathy for…

LESLEY Cleverly applied eyeliner can add definition, but there’s more to applying it than meets the eye. Used appropriately, you can do everything from opening up hooded eyes to making small eyes appear larger, whether you use gel, pencil or liquid. • Almond eyes Using liquid liner (it’s easier to control here), start with a thin line at the inner corner of the eyes gradually making it thicker and finish with a sharp flick. • Hooded eyes A classic cat eye or winged eyeliner look is the perfect style using a long wear, smudge-resistant liquid or pencil. Start at the inner corner of the eye and glide along the lash line. Smudge a thin liner under lower lashes. • Small eyes Apply a white or pearl pencil liner along the…

CHRONIC HAY FEVER IS GETTING ME DOWN No matter how many tablets or nasal sprays I use, nothing is helping my hay fever this year! It’s chronic. My eyes are constantly watering, and the Piriton seems to be doing nothing but make me drowsy! Do you have any tips to help me through the Summer? Eleanor, Hertford DR HILARY SAYS: Some hay fever seasons are worse than others and, because we have had so much rainfall followed now by warmer weather, this could be a bad one. If you have not already tried it, I would recommend Dymista nasal spray, which combines an antihistamine called azelastine with a steroid called fluticasone. The first reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body, while the latter prevents the release of…

Tensions are mounting between married Sarah Barlow (formerly Platt) and Damon (the hunky estranged father of Jacob Hay and a drug dealer). He’s charming and paying her attention, but also possibly the worst person she could have become involved with…. Here, mum-of-two, Tina O Brien, 39 (who shares daughter Scarlett with former Corrie star, Ryan Thomas), reveals why even though her alter ego has it all, Sarah just can’t resist temptation… Since their initial fling, Sarah’s been avoiding Damon but how hard is he to resist when they bump into each other? Sarah’s definitely really struggling. I think she thought that she’d got him out of her system but when she’s put in a situation where he’s telling her how much he likes her and laying it all on the line,…

1 Fast food fixes Cereal and toast may be some of the quickest breakfasts, but they’re often (especially if you choose jams and marmalades) laden with sugar, leading to an energy crash. Try to prioritise protein, which will provide a slow energy release that won’t leave you with a sudden dip. ‘Eggs are a fantastic food – a quick omelette is a yummy, nutritious, high-protein meal,’ says Dr Zoe Williams, consultant for Vitabiotics. ‘Alternatively, porridge makes a great healthy breakfast and adding dried fruit, seeds and nuts can be an easy way to get more plants into your diet.’ 2 Get a vit hit A wide spectrum of vitamins and minerals is essential for a healthy body, and while B vitamins (particularly B6 and B12) don’t directly provide energy, their…

We are nearly halfway through the year and I am still single. What’s the problem, I hear you ask? I don’t know! I mentioned in my last column that I’d been introduced to a lady via a mutual friend. The night came, the rendezvous was set and, dressed in jeans and a white linen shirt, screaming ‘just casually thrown this together’ but, in reality, involved changing three times, I set off on my date. Having arrived 10 minutes early (as I often do), I was told that there was private function on and we couldn’t go in. Trying to avoid panic stations, I texted my date and said I would get an alternative nearby venue and sprinted off to find a low-lit, ambient bistro, rather than a Friday night pub…

‘My mum’s just been shot… I need the police to come to Keeper’s Cottage Stud… I’m running for my life. He’s just shot my mum. John Lowe.’ The 999 call made by Lucy Lee on 23 February 2014, was terrifying to listen to. A woman begging for help in what would later prove to be the last moments of her life. Her attacker? Shockingly, an 82-year-old pensioner, John Lowe. A man she’d lived with, and regarded as a father-figure, for almost 30 years. Even more shocking, when John entered Lucy, her mum Christine and her sister Stacy’s lives, it seemed as if he was a saviour. Back then, in 1987, Christine was moving from London to Surrey in an attempt to flee from her ex-partner, a ‘violent monster’ who’d made…

As a founder member of The Bangles, Susanna Hoffs soundtracked the Eighties with songs such as Manic Monday, Walk Like an Egyptian and Eternal Flame. At the age of 64, she’s still making music – she’s released a new album, The Deep End, and has just published her debut novel, This Bird Has Flown. Susanna was born in LA and lives in California with her film-maker husband, Jay Roach, and they have two sons. Here, Susanna talks about making the switch from pop to prose, the importance of family, and how she looks so good after years of rock-star excess… First of all Susanna, you look fabulous! Have you got some secret Californian beauty regime? If my skin feels dry, I moisturise! Even a drop of olive oil from the…

1 THE LOOK OF LOVE… TV star, model and Heart Radio presenter, Kelly Brook makes no secret of the fact she’s a very proud dog mummy to her beloved pooch, Teddy. But last week, the 43-year-old beauty made us laugh by admitting on Instagram she wished her hubby, Jeremy Parisi, ‘looked at her the same way Teddy looks at his manky balls!’ Brilliant… Scarlet fever raged at Cannes as these bold beauties proved 2 Who wowed the crowd? It was ladies in red for the Cannes Film Festival in France with actor Jennifer Lawrence, 32, looking stunning in a red Christian Dior Haute Couture gown. Actor Catherine Zeta-Jones, 53, wore a striking chiffon Elie Saab Couture gown with plunging neckline, while model Naomi Campbell, 53, opted for a hot Valentino…

With her impeccable appearance and calm demeanour, she may always look as cool as a cucumber but, on a recent charity appearance, Kate, the new Princess of Wales, admitted that adjusting to Royal life has not always been plain sailing and, at times, has left her stressed and anxious. Her comments came after she visited the Percy Community Centre in Bath to see the work the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, a charity set up by the former athlete in 2008. The charity uses sports stars as mentors to help young people develop life skills and confidence. After visiting the charity and indulging in a game of bean bag noughts and crosses with Dame Kelly and Love Island’s Zara McDermott, Kate sat down to answer questions from a group of pupils…

WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING ON THE TELLY? We have been obsessed with Married at First Sight Australia. We’re also watching Vanderpump Rules. Below Deck is another good one. FAVOURITE TIPPLE? Rosé wine or George Clooney tequila. The trouble with rosé is I’m going to be asleep by nine, and with George Clooney tequila I’ll be dancing till nine the next day. WHAT’S YOUR WORST HABIT? Hmm, there are so many. I think probably the worst is taking out my disposable contact lenses and leaving them in our bed.…

PAMPERING POLISH It’s National Nail Polish Day on 1 June – so no better time to give your talons some TLC. I’ve been pampering my nails recently as my bad habit of picking off gel manicures left them weak and splitting and I’ve been trying out polishes with natural ingredients. There’s more choice than ever, with a rainbow of fun shades to pick from. And since we’re back in sandals, it’s good to know that all of these look just as good on toes, too. They’re not just kind to nails, they are kind to the planet – and at under £10 each, we can safely say they don’t cost the earth either. 1 LEMON AID Love by Essie in On the Brighter Side (£6.99, Superdrug and superdrug.com) Not everyone…

Having first spoken to Josh Patterson (JP) in March before he began his mammoth running task, it’s hard to believe he’s already completed his 76 marathons in 76 days across the UK! The 33-year-old former Made In Chelsea reality star, who has struggled with his own mental health, came up with the concept in order to raise money for mental health and suicide prevention charity, the Samaritans. Here, the proud dad-of-one tells us why he feels running brought people together – and how he hopes to be the best role model for daughter India – who turns seven next month…. Hi Josh! How does it feel now you’ve completed all 76 marathons?! Amazing! I’m so happy with the reaction that the challenge has had. It’s really connected with me. Friends have…

It had been three months and I still couldn’t sleep. I was exhausted and just wished my mind would stop racing but I couldn’t stop thinking about him. The day my then-husband came home and told me – ‘I don’t want to be in a relationship with you anymore’ – kept replaying in my mind. To me, it felt like the words had come out of nowhere, and I kept wondering what I’d done wrong. Had it been my fault? I’d thought we’d had a solid marriage, but clearly, he was on a very different page to me. I wished I’d seen the signs earlier and maybe then I could’ve avoided this… David* and I first met in 2004 online but we clicked and moved to New York two years…

SAVE SPACE AND MONEY! If you’ve got a small or no garden, don’t let that put you off growing your own. There’s a surprising amount you can grow in pots and containers, providing you choose the right one for each plant. Some don’t even have to stray outside, either. Get started with producing your own salad ingredients for a ‘pick-your-own lunch’ in no time. I call these the windowsill wonders, as their smaller root systems mean they can remain living in slightly smaller pots. With a little patience and perseverance, you’ll be able to enjoy some pickings throughout the year. • TOMATOES Plant: The earlier the better, as toms need a long period of warm sunshine – March onwards is optimum. However, all isn’t lost for this year – you…

Perched on a slippery sofa in the hotel lobby, Cass wondered if she stuck out like a sore thumb. Well, that was the point, of course. Along with sitting conspicuously in a public place. AKA a neutral venue. Her phone warbled. It was her sister Lu, ringing to offer her version of last-minute moral support. ‘So you’re finally going to meet this pen pal,’ sniffed Lu. ‘You’re definitely certain about this?’ ‘As I’ll ever be,’ murmured Cass, getting neck strain from turning to look at every bloke under 40 who walked into the hotel. ‘If his letters are anything to by, Seb should be a good conversationalist. And if it doesn’t work out, we never have to see each other again,’ she reminded big sis robustly. ‘Hmm,’ said Lu. ‘Why…

For the week 30 May - 5 June GEMINI 22 May – 21 June You’re in a harmonious, communicative mood. On the work-front, if you’re feeling hemmed in, this could be the time to look out for a new job, course or project. Your psychic antenna is up and scanning, giving you a feel for what’s going on. You’re assertive, articulate and eager to go after what you want, just watch how you communicate. A full moon on the 3rd could cause a heated discussion to escalate into a full-blown argument. While being too overenthusiastic could cause you to miss important details, which could enhance your personal finances. CANCER 22 June – 23 July Your focus is on your inner thoughts, which are possibly connected to family. A full moon…

TRAVEL SNAPSHOT The area where the River Arun carves its way through the chalky South Downs must surely be one of the prettiest corners of Sussex. On its western flank, perched above the river on a bluff, is beautiful Arundel: a historic and well-to-do market town whose skyline boasts both a cathedral and castle. It’s a fairytale backdrop that balances step-back-in-time appeal with contemporary essentials, such as excellent places to shop, eat and stay. INSIDER’S GUIDE Its Georgian architecture may be gorgeous, but Arundel has much more ancient roots. The motte (mound) at the heart of the castle dates from 1068, while the broken stone walls by the bridge are all that remain of a Dominican friary that was torn down on the orders of Henry VIII. The town buzzes…

Ruth Langsford, 63, has refused to apologise after being left in tears by fellow Loose lady Judi Love, after she made a very rude joke on a recent episode… Judi, 42, was discussing her BAFTAs outfit. When co-star Janet Street-Porter asked, ‘How did you get in and out of the cab?’ the comedian hilariously told her, ‘I just had to put one leg out because the paps were there ready to see the Blackwall Tunnel – and I was like…’ The panel went into hysterics, as Eamonn Holmes’ wife appeared unable to stop laughing or compose herself… Janet then laughed: ‘Ruth can’t even speak.’ As Ruth literally wiped away her tears, Judi then said: ‘I did side leg, side leg, acted like I was on Bridgerton, side leg side leg…

As I walked out of the hospital, I excitedly called my daughter Leah. ‘Hello…’, she answered, groggy with sleep. It was May 2019, and I was pregnant with my second child, Ava. I’d suffered terrible sickness and nausea, and had attended an appointment with my nurse to check all was OK – thankfully, it was. ‘You lazy girl! How are you still in bed at two in the afternoon?’ I giggled. Leah was a typical 15-year-old, sleeping in later during the weekends and seeing her friends for movie nights and going shopping. ‘Mum, I’m hungry – when will you be home?’ she asked. I told her I had some errands to run and would be back that evening, and there were leftovers in the fridge. ‘OK, love you’, she replied.…

For nearly a decade Louise Minchin, 54, was a familiar face on BBC Breakfast, presenting first with the late Bill Turnbull and Charlie Stayt, before Dan Walker joined her in 2016. But on 15 September 2021, Louise presented the iconic show for the final time – now she has revealed the reasons why. In her book, Fearless, she speaks of successfully challenging her BBC bosses about sexism in the workplace. Why was co-presenter Dan Walker always the one to say the show’s first ‘hello’ and do the day’s biggest interview? ‘I don’t like being confrontational, but it was really important to me,’ to bring it up, she explained. Getting up before 4am was another reason to quit. ‘It was so unnatural that the alarm went off at 3:40am. It was…

1 HAIR-RAISING HERO Hyaluronic acid (HA) can be used on all hair types and textures without weighing it down. With the added benefit of providing moisture to the scalp, some products also give a temporary plumping effect that adds volume by filling out the hair shaft. Molecular weights matter here, too, says Dr Sharon Wong, consultant dermatologist and hair and scalp expert. ‘Larger molecules seal the cuticles for smooth, shiny and softer hair, while smaller molecules penetrate deeper into the hair shaft.’ Comb The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Hair Treatment, £10.99, through wet hair after washing to inject moisture and tame frizz. FAKE IT YOURSELF Just add water Hyaluronic acid may have the ability to retain 1,000 times its weight in water, but H20 in its purest form can’t…

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, and our plan (right) 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…

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON! My 18-year-old son is really starting to remind me of his dad (my ex) and I can’t stand it. Our divorce was incredibly messy after I quickly fell out of love with him, once all of his unattractive traits (such as laziness) came out in full force. I know I shouldn’t hold it against him, but my son and I are getting into the most horrendous rows because I’m desperately trying to stop him turning into a self-obsessed, lazy, unmotivated man, just like his father. I can see his life turning out the same way (broke and alone), and it’s terrifying me, Vanessa! What can I do? Julie, Kent Sweetheart, you need to take a breath. Divorce takes its toll on the children. Your son may…

She’s never traditionally been short of male attention, but Ulrika Jonsson recently admitted that she is missing out on having a special person in her life… In response to the news that Robbie Williams revealed that he and wife Ayda Field rarely have sex, with Robbie claiming, ‘Everyone knows there is no sex after marriage. That’s just the way it is’, the Swedish presenter expressed surprise – saying that there aren’t many days, if any, when she doesn’t think about sex, so she would struggle in a sexless marriage. The revelation came as Robbie blamed his lack of libido on coming off testosterone injections, which was the medication he took for depression, but found it was worsening it. The Swedish mum-of-four lamented, ‘I’d struggle if a cuddle was all Robbie…

Pop princess Dannii Minogue is playing Cupid over on BBC3 but it seems not everyone is sharing the love of her new show, where 10 single guys are matched up, and meet for the first time – with a kiss. No small talk. No messages. Just one kiss to test out their chemistry.. ‘I got a bunch of messages… people saying: ‘I am now unfollowing you, this is just too much’, the 51-year-old mum-of-one admitted. ‘You know what my answer is? You don’t have to watch. There’s so much to be learned from the show, for families, friends and allies, and even for people who attack the community. I think they’re attacking something they don’t know about, or they feel like they’ve never met anyone that’s gay. I think.’ Here,…

Everything does happen for a reason, I’ve finally decided. Especially when it comes to those affairs of the heart. For those who don’t know how I came to be dating again over 50, here’s a quick recap. The love of my life was cheating so, after 17 years, I packed my pencil case and left. That was followed by a five-year relationship with a Frenchman, but I just couldn’t give my heart to France, not even to the South. He left, I stayed… London, you will always have my heart. Then there was a fling with Mr Super-Good-Looking who promised undying love that lasted a month (no smirking). And East End Boy, who dumped me last Summer after a year. The funny thing about him was that I thought it…

SPIRITUAL ATTACK? Recently, I have had a spate of very bad luck and a string of illnesses. As well as this, I have been feeling a kind of presence around me (like someone is in the room with me), and once heard my name being whispered in what sounded like a human voice. I am scared but, by the same token, don’t feel anything is necessarily ‘malevolent’. However, my close friend, who is deeply religious, feels I am under some kind of spiritual attack and is extremely worried for me. I myself believe in a god, and in good and evil, but I am not religious. What would you recommend that I do? Kerry LEE SAYS: Thank you for your question, Kerry. I feel with what you are saying, there’s…

ANNIVERSARIES It was my mother’s birthday this week, had she not died this January, June would have been celebrating her 94th. I posted a photo of her on my Instagram account taken on her 90th birthday, four years ago. She is wearing a Lurex striped jumper, we told her she’d be too hot, it was a sunny day but, she insisted on wearing it. Let’s be honest, when you get to 90, you can wear what you like. We had lunch out with her friends, oblivious to the fact that in just over a year, we’d be in the midst of a pandemic and June would be demonstrating the warning signs of dementia. Had we not spent so many weeks in lockdown, would we have spotted the signs sooner? I’m…

As Fast X hits the cinema, Helen Mirren – who admits she ‘fan-girled’ producer Vin Diesel into casting her because of her love of fast cars – is back. ‘I was shameless!’ she admits. ‘It was embarrassing, really.
