There are red carpets and Red Carpets – and the sumptuous setting of Windsor’s St George’s Hall has to top all lists for making your debut before the world’s cameras. At two days old, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor aced his first public appearance, oblivious to the global excitement. A heady mix of Royalty and Hollywood glamour, this little family promises to shake up the fusty world of monarchy. The couple eschewed the traditional hospital steps photocall. And kudos to Meghan for not trying to hide her post-baby bump, her tiredness and slightly unkempt hair while still glowing with happiness. It felt significant. We wish them all the best! • Please let me know your thoughts, siobhan.wykes@hearst.co.uk…

She’s known for her unpredictable behaviour, as well her superb acting. And Cleaning Up star Sheridan Smith has again sparked concern, after a furious rant on social media, in which she accused fiancé Jamie Horn, 28 – who proposed three months after meeting her on Tinder – of ‘threatening her’, and his mum of killing her pet dog. Sheridan made the shocking allegations to her more than 661,200 followers on Twitter on Thursday, 2 May – but the post was swiftly deleted. Just three days after calling herself and Jamie ‘two baked beans in a pod’, the 37-year-old wrote, ‘FYI if I ever go missing look at Jamie and his nut job mum x she killed my dog so this woman is capable of anything. ‘I apologise to anyone I…

she should be picking out presents and looking back on a lifetime of school plays, Sunday morning cuddles in bed and boxes full of questionable artwork. All the while wondering, ‘How on earth is my baby boy about to turn 30?’ Maybe there would be a wedding to help plan, grandchildren to run around after. Would they tug on her leg, calling her ‘nana’ or ‘gran’? So many possibilities. So few answers. Instead, her life – and his – are frozen in time. For Kerry Needham has been trapped in the worst hell imaginable for any parent, since her beautiful son, Ben, went missing, aged just 21 months, on the Greek island of Kos in 1991. ‘It feels like he’s saying, “Come on, I am here, come and get me,”’…

Suranne Jones, 40, has starred in Dr Foster and Scott & Bailey. She is married to Laurence Akers, and they have a young son. How much did you know about Anne Lister? Well, I have known Sally for about 10 years and I knew she was fascinated by her. But then my agent said, ‘You have to look at these scripts.’ Then I was hooked. And didn’t you audition? I did, and I’m not a very girlie girl – but that day I’d been to Buckingham Palace, so I was in heels, a skirt and a pretty blouse. I thought, ‘Oh s**t – what have I done? It’s not right for Anne.’ But, happily, I did get the part and then my research began. What was it like filming at…

‘I’ve been worried about Instagram for a while now. Not because I have a problem with it, far from it – I have an account and quite a few followers. But I rarely look at it, or post anything unless I’m doing something fabulous. I don’t “like” anything, even though people like my stuff on there. It does make me a bit anxious, but I haven’t got the time, plus I don’t really get it. I have friends that do, though. I’ve seen them devoured by it, addicted even, posting everything about their lives on it. I asked one of my most intelligent friends the other day, “Why? What is the point?” Sadly, she didn’t know, either – even though she does it herself. Which is a worry. But what…

HOW IT WORKS It might sound bonkers, but you really can eat more in order to lose weight. It’s all down to the water content and energy density (basically how many calories there are) per gram of food. To lose those annoying extra inches, you need to focus on low-energy density (LED) foods that provide fewer calories per gram. These foods are often naturally high in water and include things like fruit and vegetables or soups and stews. The fact that LED foods have more water is good news for big eaters, because it means you get more food volume for your calories. You can pile your plate up higher than ever while still consuming less energy overall, so you still lose weight. On the other hand, high-energy density (HED)…

IS MY SON ‘NORMAL’? My 14-year-old son likes to stay in his room playing video games instead of socialising with his friends. I worry about him, especially as my other son – now 20 – is a total extrovert who likes to be around people all the time. They’re polar opposites, but I can deal with that. My fear is that my younger son is getting isolated from the real world. He never talks about ‘mates’ (or girls!) and spends so much time on social media – and we all know how dangerous that can be. Help, Vanessa! Julie, Cheshire The great news here is that your son is only 14. You are the parent. You are in charge. It doesn’t matter whether it’s ‘normal’ or not for a teenager…

… filming the last series of Mum Actors are lucky in that every job we do we meet a new bunch of people – but you can’t take everybody with you. But with us, it is proper love – we do have extraordinary relationships and when we knew we were filming this on location we were like, ‘We’re going on holiday to Dorking for eight weeks!’ … what she loves about the show The writing is so wonderful. You can try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, but it’s best not to! Here I could see this wonderful, rich character and story. … getting recognised by fans I get clocked for Mum more than anything. People are always very nice and want to know if Michael…

Holly Willoughby – the fresh, perfectly-turned-out face of daytime television – appears to have it all, but even she has recently fallen foul of harsh critics. Just last week, the mum-of-three, 38, and her This Morning co-host, Phillip Schofield, 57, were interviewing former TOWIE star Joey Essex. Granted, the reality TV show hunk isn’t famed for his burning intelligence, but some viewers felt that Holly and Phillip were purposely trying to catch Joey out, and were left red-faced when the tables were turned. Being quizzed on his age, Joey clarified that he was 28 and turning 30 next year, to which a rather smug-looking Holly replied, ‘No, you’re not, you’re 29!’ An irritated Joey added, ‘Yes, so I’m 30 next year… 29 is this year. Did I just trick you?…

Former This Morning presenter Judy Finnigan rocked more than just a smile as she appeared arm-in-arm with hubby Richard Madeley last week. Since revealing that she nearly died last year, after claiming ibuprofen tablets gave her a horrific stomach ulcer, Judy, 70, was looking happier and healthier than ever. The beaming star, who says the paramedics who rushed her to hospital last autumn saved her life – appeared fresh-faced, tanned and with bouncy blonde locks as she left London’s Charlotte Street Hotel. It was a dramatically different look to when we last saw the star at the start of the year – looking frail, pale and, to put it politely, like she’d been to hell and back. So, just what has the former Loose Women panellist been doing to look this good?…

Clicking across the screen, my heart sank as I scanned the pictures for the photo book I was making. The images were ones I wanted to treasure. The trouble was, at a size 26, I filled them all. Disheartened, I tried to push my embarrassment aside and chose pictures I knew my mum Janet, then 68, would like. This book was for her and the photos had been taken days earlier when, after 46 years of marriage, Mum and Dad had renewed their wedding vows on 1 April 2017. We’d arranged the ceremony after finding out that Mum had incurable lung cancer. It had already spread to her brain. Devastatingly, she didn’t have long to live and I couldn’t help feeling like I’d ruined the last ever family photos me…

Dave, 42, opens up about losing his dad when he was just a baby, how it sparked his lifelong love of dogs – and why he hopes that his appearance on the hit show can help shine a light on the work the police and their amazing animals do.
