She’s normally so glamorous from head-to-toe – but when Kylie recently showed up at a fashion bash in Spain in a gorgeous green dress and strappy heels, it wasn’t just fans whose eyebrows were raised. There’s no denying the singer looks pretty incredible for 50. Yet, snapped on the red carpet in Madrid, Kylie looked startled, her right eyebrow noticeably higher than her left – and the effect was jarring. Seen happily chatting to her ex, Spanish model Andrés Velencoso, 40, at the star-studded party, onlookers began to wonder if the All The Lovers hitmaker may be back on the Botox, despite crying off the treatment years ago, claiming she was growing old gracefully. Currently dating British GQ’s creative director, Paul Solomons, Kylie has spoken before about the pressure to…

‘Women over 45 are far more ‘Women interested in sex – and are more adventurous in bed – than our culture would have us believe.’ That was the verdict TV presenter Kate Garraway gave in a recent interview. Women – of a certain age – everywhere were thrilled by Kate’s honesty. So, why did she touch such a nerve? Maybe because not much is written, or spoken about, when it comes to sex among people who are ‘past their prime’. But, in fact, it seems most people’s sex lives get better with age… A survey by the National Council On Aging reported that, among people aged 60 and over who are having regular intercourse, a whopping 74 per cent of the men and 70 per cent of the women find their…

Normally, Susanna Reid, Holly Willoughby and Katie Price are some of the most talked-about and popular stars to grace daytime TV. But lately, these ladies have been attracting some negative attention from the public. So, what exactly is going on – did the heatwave cause tempers to fray, or is the honeymoon over for some of our best-known faces on the telly? SUSANNA REID The glamorous presenter has won fans over with her warm and witty presenting style, attracting comments as enthusiastic as, ‘The most awesome woman on TV!’ Fans seem to love that she has both a background in serious, probing journalism and a fun-loving side – cue her constant eye-rolling at her Good Morning Britain co-host, Piers Morgan, 53. As we all know, Piers is like Marmite –…

TOP TIP! Apply to slightly damp skin to lock in extra moisture.…

From hyperpigmentation to inflammation, the sun’s free radicals can cause a host of issues. Here’s what you can do to rejuvenate sun-baked skin. PEEL AWAY FLAKY SKIN If your skin is looking dry and flaky, the sun’s probably sucked all the moisture out of it. Air conditioning and a hot humid environment can add to the problem. Profhilo is designed to hydrate your skin from the inside out, increasing collagen and elastin production and promoting radiance. Five tiny injections of hyaluronic acid are placed underneath the skin’s surface. This spreads through surrounding tissues over the following weeks. Two sessions last from six to nine months, when you’ll see improved tone and plump skin. From £250 a treatment. ZAP PIGMENTATION & AGE SPOTS No matter how careful you are with the…

Cheap thrills Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze Gradual Tan, £5.99 This absorbed well, and their skin felt moisturised after use. It didn’t leave a sticky residue and didn’t look streaky or patchy.

1 THE PITTER-PATTER OF TINY FEET! Congratulations to our favourite jazz and soul singer, Michael Bublé, 42, and his wife, Luisana, who have welcomed their first daughter, Vida, into the world. Her name means ‘life’ in Luisana’s native Spanish – all the more moving given that their eldest son, Noah, now four, battled liver cancer. Thankfully, he’s now in remission. Congratulations all round. 2 Who wowed the crowd? You don’t need to go bright and bold to look pretty in pink, and these three fashionistas show just how to wear it. While Lisa Snowdon (below right), 46, looked beautiful in candy pink on the streets of London, Katie Piper (left), 34, and Liz McClarnon (right), 37, took their sugary-sweet looks to the red carpet. Pink is so flattering, from candy to blush…

Aristocratic Lady Colin Campbell – known as ‘Lady C’ when she appeared on I’m A Celebrity… in 2015 – has been rubbing shoulders with members of the Royal family for a good 50 years. Since she appeared in the jungle, the colourful 68-year-old has been a guest panellist on Loose Women and let a camera crew film her renovating her crumbling Sussex mansion for documentary Lady C And The Castle. Now, she’s written a controversial new book revealing the secrets of the Queen and Prince Philip’s marriage… Lady C, how do you write a Royal biography? Well, I get all the juicy bits from my life through the people I know and are friendly with – some of whom are Royals, some of whom I have known for 50 years. Do…

Mum-of-two and Loose Women anchor Andrea McLean, 48, openly admits she’s suffered her fair share of health problems, including a hysterectomy two years ago. So, it’s no surprise she’s decided to share her health secrets in new book Confessions Of A Menopausal Woman. Right now, she says she’s never felt happier after marrying her third husband, businessman Nick Feeney, last November. And she reveals that an invite to compete on a certain dance show would make her year complete. Here, she talks sequins, HRT, parenting and more… Hi, Andrea! So, how’s married life? Has your relationship changed? Yes, it does feel different with Nick – and it’s lovely. We’d been together for four years before we got married, but now there’s a deeper sense of contentment and security. I feel…

Watching the mini sausage dog puppies jumping around, my heart skipped a little beat. They were tiny – and absolutely gorgeous! I’d always adored animals and had seven rescue dogs at home, along with 40 ex-battery chickens, 12 guinea pigs, a tortoise and a chinchilla to name a few. Yet I’d always wanted a puppy, too. Somehow, I’d managed to convince my husband Gordon, 47, that I was just going to have a look… But when the smallest of the puppies bounded over and jumped straight onto my knee, I completely fell in love. ‘She’s the only girl in the litter,’ the seller told me. Promising to let the lady know if we’d be back, we both got in the car to go home. ‘I won’t get her,’ I said…

Just weeks after appearing on a private jet, knocking back a bottle of champers, Gemma Collins’ finances aren’t all looking quite as flash as her lifestyle. The larger-than-life TOWIE star, 37, owns fashion stores and has an online business - and is estimated by Spear’s magazine to be worth some £2.7 million, due to TV appearances, book deals and other ventures. But according to reports, her Brentford clothing store for plus-sized ladies, Gemma’s Boutique, has allegedly gone into voluntary liquidation, after racking up over ‘£80,000’ worth of debt. It has been reported that the star’s other company, Gemma Collins Ltd, only made a profit of £56,337 last year. It hasn’t stopped her boasting about her lavish lifestyle, though. Last month, Gemma crowed on social media about travelling in her own…

Meghan Markle, of course, is not the first glamorous American woman to fall in love with a charismatic member of the British royal family. Baltimore-raised Wallis Simpson met Edward, Prince of Wales, when she was 34 – the same age as the Duchess of Sussex when she met Prince Harry – and the similarities don’t end there. Wallis, like Meghan, had been married before meeting her prince, making her another divorcée to ‘marry in’. Their wardrobes also appear to reflect one another’s, both preferring neutral tones and, of course, those classic up-do hairstyles. Andrew Morton, author of Wallis In Love, maintains there is one crucial difference between them, however: ‘Meghan seems to have a sense of wanting to give back, whereas Wallis only ever wanted to take.’…

The presenter always seems so composed and serene on air. Yet, as she revealed not long ago, under the surface, Andrea is often fighting bouts of crippling anxiety. Speaking of a recent episode that was partly linked to the fear that, with Nick, her heart would ‘get broken again’, she explained, ‘I’ve always suffered from anxiety; it’s an off-the-scale fear and paralysing dread. I get panic attacks, where I feel sick and like I can’t breathe. ‘At those times, I’m convinced I’m stupid, ugly and unlovable. Both have been made worse by the menopause, and my anxiety soared before our wedding. I even had a panic attack on the way to the ceremony,’ she said. Poor Andrea. Thankfully, she Nick are clearly loved-up – and solid as a rock.…

‘Tini Owens wants a divorce from her husband of 40 years, Hugh. Because he doesn’t, she went to court to fight for it. But five Supreme Court judges said no, because they didn’t think the examples she gave of his ‘unreasonable behaviour’ were, well, unreasonable. I’m inclined to agree. There was, apparently, a row over what present to buy the housekeeper, and another about how cardboard was put into a skip. She also cited Hugh’s ‘booming voice’… In any case, they already live in separate houses, and she only has to wait another two years, after which she doesn’t need his consent. All of this has reignited the usual calls for the law to be changed to allow ‘no fault’ divorce. So, instead of needing a reason, such as adultery,…

WHAT TO DO It’s easy – every time you serve yourself a portion of a starchy carb-like rice, pasta, potato, cous cous or bread, swap half of it for either a protein-based carbohydrate, like beans or lentils, a vegetable, like cauliflower, courgettes or carrots, some fruit, or even some extra protein, like ham or chicken. So let’s say, for example, you fancied cornflakes for breakfast – simply serve yourself half as many and then grate an apple and mix that in. At lunch, if you normally have a sandwich, make it an open sandwich serving it on a slice of bread, then put the salad on and use slices of meat or cheese as the top. Dinner is easy – if you’re serving mash, swap half of the potato for…

CUPPING: PAIN OR PLEASURE? Calum: Look away if you’re squeamish or don’t like blood… but, as you know, I’m all about alternative medicines and treatments. Last week, I ventured into cupping for the first time. Cupping might be new to me, but it’s a treatment that has been used for thousands of years in Egyptian, Chinese and Middle Eastern cultures. Devotees claim it can benefit blood circulation, enhance your immune system, relax tired or strained muscles, give pain relief, remove toxins and improve fertility. The practice is based on the theory that stagnant blood and poor energy flowing through your body causes ill health. To prevent this, practitioners apply cups – typically made from glass or silicone – to your skin creating a vacuum that sucks your skin into the…

Gloria Hunniford is a mum-of-three and grandmother of 10. She’s been divorced, remarried and learned to deal with the loss of her daughter and, on Rip Off Britain, she battles consumer issues. In her own words, she’s ‘lived a lot’. So, ask Gloria anything… My granddaughter’s being bullied My lovely young granddaughter has fallen victim to cyber-bullying, and my husband and I are really concerned about her. Our daughter (her mum) wants to pull her out of school, because it’s coming from other pupils, but she’s just one year away from doing her GCSE exams. My husband and I worry that pulling her out at this crucial stage in her education may make the situation even worse. What do you think we should do, Gloria? Jennifer, Sutton Coldfield Bullying – whether…

Soprano Margaret, 34, has been singing since the age of four, and has performed all over the world. You auditioned for How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? I did, and Andrew Lloyd Webber gave me some great advice. He said you have to get to the bottom of what the song is actually about, and you must give a genuine performance. Tell us about performing at Eamonn Holmes’ OBE celebrations… Eamonn is from Northern too, and he’s become a good friend of mine. Boxer Barry McGuigan was also invited. They both asked me to sing Danny Boy, as Barry’s father was famous for singing it in the ring. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house. And you’ve sung with some huge stars, too… I was invited to…

It’s 35 years since Paul Young, 62, released his debut album, No Parlez, which went to No.1 and produced hits such as Wherever I lay My Hat and Love of The Common People. He opens up about the devastation of losing wife Stacey to cancer earlier this year, and why he’s now ready to get back on stage. How was life for you when No Parlez was released? Well, it was all quite a shock but I definitely remember when Wherever I Lay My Hat went to No.1! It was played on just about every radio show, then it all happened so quickly. I still think about those first days when you hear your song being played on the radio. It’s a very strange feeling. Were your mum and dad…
