Over the past few weeks, football has been engulfed in a huge sexual abuse scandal, with around 350 alleged victims coming forward to report stories of abuse during their time in youth teams or at the hands of football scouts. The man whose bravery blew it all open is Andy Woodward. He was a lone voice last month, when he first spoke about his horrific experiences as a child. It was impossible not to sob with him when he appeared on the Victoria Derbyshire show, overwhelmed by the support of the other players who came forward with their own horror stories – as well as the public’s goodwill. One rarely discussed side effect, though, is the impact of abuse on the victims’ loved ones. In this issue of Grazia, Andy’s…

AS NEWS BROKE last month that Brad Pitt had finally been acquitted of child abuse charges by the FBI, many speculated it could at last signal a ceasefire in his ferocious divorce battle with Angelina Jolie. Not so. According to insiders, the holiday season has given way to yet another war between the couple – this time over who gets to spend Christmas with their six children: Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. Photos: Reuters, Splash, Getty, Pacific Coast News “ANGELINA continues to make Brad’s life a LIVING HELL when it comes to seeing the kids – he is doing his best not to CRACK under the PRESSURE” ‘Brad missed Thanksgiving with the kids because of the divorce, and he’s made it…

Photos: Splash News, Wire Image, Instagram.com/bradfalchuk, gwynethpaltrow SHE ONCE COMPLAINED that, ‘In America, I was at a party and a girl said, “Oh, my god! Are those Juicy jeans you’re wearing?” and I thought, I can’t stay here. I have to get back to Europe.’ Now, it seems Gwyneth Paltrow, 44, is as good as her word – with news reaching Grazia that the high priestess of kale is returning to London. And she’s bringing Chris Martin with her. According to one source close to the uncouple, they are eyeing up a relocation next summer, after their children – Apple, 12, and 10-year-old Moses – have finished the current school year. ‘They’re horrified by Trump’s election and feel that it’s a damning indictment of the current state of America,’ said…

Welcome to Christmas, peak season for Breadcrumbing, which you need to know about – now – because it’s the hottest, most hideous of social media-related tortures. Breadcrumbing comes from the same school of ugh that brought us that thing where we can see that the person who hasn’t answered our WhatsApp from yesterday is now online, WhatsApping like crazy with someone else… Only, it’s worse. More insidious. More manipulative. Less blatant. Breadcrumbing is where people you are interested in maintain a hold on your attention with nothing more than a sporadic Like on a three-month-old Instagram post, or by very occasionally texting ‘I miss U!’, then nothing, even after you reply, by emailing you a YouTube link to a song, the lyrics of which could – just maybe! – offer…

Life changing. GIGI HADID CHARLIE SAYS: Day three on Starship Versace, and Gigi has gone for full otherworldly immersion. ★★★★✩ JOHN SAYS: And there was I thinking the Star Wars look was so very ’70s. I’m not sure the train adds much and Gigi is putting a lot of faith in her supporting cast. But when the Force is with you, the Force is with you. ★★★✩✩ YOU SAY : Gigi looks amazing! A futuristic style with minimal hair and accessories – gorgeous. ★★★★★ @SMEE000 ADWOA…

Everyday Great Skin Foundation, £4.75-£5.12 for members (non-members: £30) ‘I was reluctant to buy a foundation without trying it first, but I seem to have hit the jackpot. This medium coverage, super-blendable base feels very expensive,’ says beauty & heath director Rose Beer. One Powder Wonder, £2.90 (non-members: £26) ‘Want to blur, perfect, disguise oversized pores and add luminosity, too? Try this,’ says junior beauty writer Phoebe McDowell. FutureLipstick Matte in Power Up Pink, £2.23-2.35 (non-members: £20) ‘I know my lipsticks and I was impressed by its luxurious matte yet moisturising finish, which is famously hard to achieve. That said, I misjudged the shade, but at a price like this I was happy to hand it over to Phoebe, on whom it looked fab,’ says Sam. Flash False Lash Mascara,…

Photos: Film Magic, LMK Media ANNA SILVERMAN Grazia’s junior features writer ★★★ ✩ Alison is a former model who has been chewed up and spat out by the industry and Veronica is a middle-aged proofreader, so their friendship initially appears a tad suspect. But as we’re taken on a moving journey through the highs and lows of their lives, we grasp why their unlikely bond is so strong. Gaitskill writes beautifully about the agonising emotions we often try to keep under wraps in real life. EMILY PHILLIPS Grazia’s features director ★★★★✩ I am in love with Mary Gaitskill’s tone. While she plumbs the depths of the glam and the grit of the ’80s (and there are shoulder pads on the loose), it’s the friendship of former model Alison and intellectual…

WHAT IF… Based on the Philip K Dick novel, The Man In The High Castle posits the intriguing possibilities leading from an alternative ending to World War II. The dystopia created is peppered with a grand cast and an occasionally terrifying script. It’s a pivotal part of the streaming wars between Amazon and Netflix, and one that may, in the coming second season, see a reversal of fortunes for who’s king of the field. Friday, Amazon Prime OBAMA-RAMA Picked up at the Toronto Film Festival of 2015, now feels an appropriate time for a viewing of Barry, the complete Barack Obama story, told in full biopic format. Barry is a warm and loving picture of pre-Trump America, of a man who battled the edicts of class, race and educational expectation…

Photo: Zoltan Tombor/Mondadori Photo SAGITTARIUS 23 Nov – 21 Dec Having dreamed about developments in your home or family life you might be disappointed that things turn out rather differently. Keep reminding yourself that Venus is connecting to Neptune, which helps explain why so much of what you’ve had in mind is turning out to be unworkable. Not far away are opportunities that are as good as – if not better than – what you had hoped. CAPRICORN 22 Dec – 20 Jan Until recently you’ve probably fought shy of telling friends or neighbours how you really feel about their behaviour. But this week you’ll begin to think that it’s foolish to suffer in silence when they are being so inconsiderate. The message you have to deliver may be tough…

HOURS AFTER MODELS pranced around the dining tables for the finale of Chanel’s Métiers d’Art show at the Ritz in Paris last week, the after-party shifted to the Ritz bar, where an impromptu karaoke saw champagne-fuelled guests belting out the latest hits alongside the Korean K-Pop megastar G Dragon and Pharrell Williams. It was a moment that echoed Coco Chanel’s café society of the 1930s, when she was at the height of her fame and took up permanent residence at the Paris Ritz. Only this was Karl Lagerfeld’s cyber café society with a who’s who of contemporary culture in the last days of 2016. Instead of Jean Cocteau and Jean Paul Sartre, we had Cara Delevingne and Lily Rose Depp. And while 2016 can hardly be compared to the darkest…

Photos: Alamy, Splash News LET’S JUST ADMIT that this year has been unrelentingly grim for feminism. Like watching a car crash in slow motion, except you’re the one poised to go through the windscreen. One of the big stories was the racist, misogynistic social media attacks on Lesley Jones after she was cast in the Ghostbusters reboot – itself the horrific culmination of unhappiness at women taking on iconic (male) roles. But 2016 ain’t going out like that. We’re just months away from a tough-as-tacks version of Wonder Woman and now Amy Schumer will play Barbie in a live-action movie. As you’d expect, not everyone is happy about this, including the website for the ‘common man’, Barstool Sports, which said, ‘Barbie is the definition of perfection. Mattel is completely ruining…

THE PICTURES AROUND our house tell a heartbreaking story, but it’s one we never want to forget. We’ve framed the photos I posted on social media during my pregnancy with Winter to keep the memory of our baby alive. In our hallway is the picture I shared to announce we were going to be parents. Dean and I look elated and his hands are wrapped around my tummy. Up the staircase, there are the scans and various shots of my bump as it grew bigger and bigger. Then, on the landing, there I am, on the day I felt Winter’s first kick. But the photograph of him in our bedroom is reserved just for us. It’s a picture of Winter after he’d passed away, the day before his funeral. It…

Photos: Magnum Photos, Capital Pictures, Rex Features You may be sporting embellished sandals as well as a spangled, sparkling frock, but hey, how many times a year do you get to decorate yourself as you would your Christmas tree? Statement earrings are an absolute MUST. Forget animalistic outerwear; it’s all about leopard-print accessories for the holiday season. Opt for a faux-fur bag à la SR. All sheer everything is the current state of play when it comes to party dressing. And fear not, ladies… granny pants = officially cool. Thought tweed was reserved for ageing public schoolboys off for a spot of clay-pigeon shooting? Think again. Heritage just got jazzy. We all owe a little something to Simone Rocha, the woman who let it be known that party dresses can…

PHOTOGRAPHS DAVID MARQUEZ 1 THE PUB PRINCESS You’re most likely to find me curled up on a snug pub sofa with a large glass of wine and a Scrabble board at Christmas. That said, I’ve found being polished on a pub sofa is rarely a bad thing. My personal recipe for a subtle upgrade to any outfit/ dinner party/drinking establishment involves tugging on some better shoes and aiming for a fresh and understated face. I rely on regular masks to boost dry, wintery skin and won’t be without my Ar mani Maestro Glow or Clinique Fattening Mascara – two swipes and you’ve got the perfect flutter. Mean while, patting a rose-gold shadow on to the eyelid and having a glossy mani should surely seal the deal. R ight? 2 THE…

JUST LIKE THAT ” AS QUICKLY AS THINGS hotted up with The Sexy Geek – the guy I was set up with through a mutual friend – they went, just as suddenly, ice cold. One day, the man who’d been texting me non-stop for 10 days simply stopped. Mates tried to tell me I was reading too much into it, but my instinct told me I wasn’t wrong: he’d lost interest. Boom. Just like that. I spent three more days mentally raking over our last date, desperately searching for rhyme and reason. I felt I’d let myself down, but wasn’t sure how. And, to be really honest,…

LETTER OF THE WEEK SMALL WONDERS At last! A lingerie feature (The bottom line, 12 Dec) which recognises that not all of us have a pair of breasts. I had a life-saving mastectomy in my early thirties and, while I was delighted to have the cancer cut out of my body, I did find wandering through lingerie departments a bitter reminder of the sexy sets I couldn’t have. It’s not often acknowledged in magazines that breast cancer can affect young women, so thank you Grazia for including a mastectomy section in your lingerie special.

Over 90 models stormed the S/S ’17 runway clad in tees reading ‘I was there’ in a variety of languages.

Photos: Scope, PA, Goff, Instagram/cruzbeckham TOGETHER, DAVID AND VICTORIA Beckham have conquered such diverse fields as pop music, sport, fashion and looking unfeasibly good in a pair of H&M briefs. Now it seems that the pair are planning to launch ‘Super Brand Beckham’ – by proving that the dynasty’s second generation is equally multitalented. Last week, the family’s youngest son Cruz joined Instagram. The inclusion of a bio reading ‘Account managed by Scooter Braun Projects’ sparked speculation that the 11-year-old was being managed by the high-profile pop Svengali – famous for discovering Justin Bieber on YouTube aged 12. It followed rumours in August, when industry figures told Grazia Scooter had been for secret meetings with David to discuss the possibility of guiding his brood’s fledgling careers. At the time, a…

DOLCE & GABBANA I HAVE BEEN INDULGING in a guilty pleasure TV binge lately that’s made me ever so terribly happy. It began around the time America voted in its new President. There my flatmate Sophie and I were, sitting on our sofa, not knowing quite what to do with ourselves, the world or our Sky Box Set selection, when Soph gingerly mooted: ‘Shall we watch Sex And The City?’ She asked in that manner of someone suggesting a slightly embarrassing, out there, not-quite-kitsch-enough-to-be-acceptable pursuit. Cos, let’s face it, since its demise (and god what a grizzly demise that second film was), SATC has become a bit passé, hasn’t it? All those ‘which character are YOU?’ quizzes combined with the crashing realisation that no one could ever afford Carrie Bradshaw’s…

WHEN FORMER FOOTBALLER Andy Woodward appeared on the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme last month – to speak about the sexual abuse he was subjected to by a coach as a child – his partner Zelda Worthington (left) was sitting in the studio watching. Seeing him break down as he described the ‘catastrophic’ impact the ordeal has had on his life reduced her to tears, too. ‘But I knew – I just knew – it was the right thing to do,’ she tells Grazia. ‘I was so proud of him. At that time, Andy was one lone voice, and our fear was that he’d still be one lone voice now. But the fact that so many others had the courage to come forward has made it all worthwhile.’ Since Andy’s remarkable…

I’LL ADMIT IT. Speed dating has never been for me. The idea of meeting men in a busy bar and having the same three-minute conversation over and over fills me with dread. First dates can be excruciating in their small talk at the best of times, so willingly signing up to what would essentially be 20 first dates, all within the space of an hour? No thanks. Thank god speed dating in 2016 has come a long way. It’s now a lot… quieter, as I found out recently. Speed dating these days is wearing a blindfold in a low-lit basement, being consensually kissed by every bloke in the room after three hours of intense eye-gazing, all done in silence. Let me explain. Sick of apps and friend set-ups, I’ve been…

Photos: BBC/LMK By some gloriously accidental timing Who DoYou Think You Are?, a detailed look into Cheryl’s genealogy, arrives perfectly coinciding with the starlet’s gene pool hitting a tabloid premium. I’ve always had a soft spot for Cheryl, the council kid blessed with Natalie Portman’s looks, who weathered the chew-them-up/ spit-them-out reality TV model that underpins 21st-century fame to maximum advantage. WDYTYA? has enjoyed a tremendous run this year, including a career-best telly hour for Danny Dyer. It’s the televisual Desert Island Discs, a show in which celebrities are duty-bound to investigate something closer to their essence, away from the usual marketing sales pitches. Of all these stellar stories, researched with wonder and diligence, Cheryl’s might be the pinnacle, exploring her innate northernness against rugged coastlines and the fields of…

WHO LIVES HERE? Stephanie van Vuuren, a stylist, and her husband, Martijn. WHERE IS IT? In Sliedrecht, a riverside town in the western Netherlands. The pair seriously thought ahead – buying the two-bed house one year before they married and spending 12 months renovating it so they could move in post-honeymoon. They put in new floors and windows, as well as a kitchen and bathroom. Having lived with their parents, they bought all the furniture from scratch, mixing modern and vintage.
