She's waded through a tricky few weeks on This Morning after Phillip Schofield's explosive scandal led to calls for her to step down. But last week, Holly Willoughby was all smiles when she grinned alongside her co-host Dermot O'Leary and her best pal Emma Bunton, who gueststarred on the show. And sources say that Holly, 42 - who has been presenting alongside Dermot, Josie Gibson and Alison Hammond since Phil's departure - is now hoping to rope in some of her other celeb pals to help save This Morning's reputation after viewing figures dropped in recent weeks. A source says, “Holly knows she's got a long way to go to smooth out the mess created by Phil, and she's hoping that some of her celeb pals can step up and…

Bowel cancer is a broad term for cancer that begins in the large bowel, made up of the colon and rectum. It's more common in people over 50, but can happen at any age. Symptoms of bowel cancer can include: • Bleeding from your bottom and/or blood in your poo • A persistent and unexplained change in bowel habit • Unexplained weight loss • Extreme tiredness for no obvious reason • A pain or lump in your tummy It's important to know that most people with these symptoms don't have bowel cancer. Other health problems can cause similar symptoms. But if you have any of these, or if things just don't feel right, go to see your GP. You may need to visit your doctor more than once if your…

TRAUMA “When I saw all the pain and the trauma she went through, from the moment she was diagnosed, I wondered why her and not me,” he tells us. “I feel guilt because I'll never be able to understand her having to make the biggest journey of her life and I couldn't do it with her.” Azaylia was diagnosed with…

After trying - and failing - to slim down on several diets, in 2019, Rachel, 43, who lives in Cheshire, wondered whether it was her mindset which was holding her back and so she started to treat herself with kindness - and it was then that the effects of eating healthily began to show.

WELLBEING RELATIONSHIPS Life balance YOUR GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL ISSUESAND FAMILY LIFE WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST EMMA KENNY Instead of enjoying the marvels of technology, we've somehow ended up sucked into a vortex of virtual perfectionism. “Smartphone Face” sounds like some modern sci-fi dystopia, but it's just a harsh reality of our scrolling habits. While it might appear difficult to unscramble this “perfect face” enigma, there are steps you can take. BE CLEAR-EYED First, move away from “comparison” mode. It's as easy as flipping a switch - I promise! The life you see on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok isn't the “real” life of anyone. What you're seeing is highlights, cherrypicked moments, with a filter or two applied for extra gloss. So stop comparing your reality with someone else's movie trailer. Social media promotes…

Admitting that she opts for outfits that “cover up” her postpartum figure, Molly-Mae said, “For me at the minute, swimsuits are the one, because I don't have the confidence, but I didn't really have the confidence for bikinis before I had a baby. “Right now with my body I just need anything that's going to give…

NEWS They've had a whirlwind few weeks after welcoming their beautiful twin girls last month, just days before he scored the winning goal for West Ham United in the Europa Cup final - so it's little wonder Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen were enjoying some much-deserved down time in an Essex pub last weekend.

BOOZE-FREE GUIDE Whether it's a Pimm's on the patio, a pint in a pub garden or a glass of prosecco at a wedding, the summer months are filled with opportunities to enjoy a tipple - and when the weather is warm and the days are long, it's easy to fall into the trap of drinking regularly.

If you fancy joining them, here's how to lose the booze without missing out…

Davina McCall has described feeling angry after exploring the effects of the pill for her new documentary, including discussing mental health problems her daughter suffered while taking it. It's important we're honest about the potential downsides of tire pill, but it's also essential that we don't convince a whole generation of young women that it's unsafe, or best avoided. RECOGNISE THE ISSUE We've been prescribing the pill for decades, so we have all the data to prove it's safe. However, every woman is different, and some just don't get on with the combined pill or can't take medication containing oestrogen. There's a huge amount of variation, so two women who meet the same medical criteria can take the exact same pill and one will feel awful, while the other will…

To any parent going through this - I understand your pain and it's absolutely OK to feel hurt. It's tough to see your child in pain, but navigating difficult social situations is a crucial part of their development. Use these tough moments to teach them resilience, empathy and selfconfidence. When your child feels left out, acknowledge their feelings. It's a big deal for them, so it should be for you too. Make space for them to talk about it and listen attentively, providing comfort and understanding. Encourage empathy, so discuss that sometimes people exclude others without realising how hurtful it can be. This can help your child to not take the exclusion personally. Share some stories about times you've felt excluded and how you bounced back. This will show them…

On December 2016, aged just 35, Deborah James was diagnosed with bowel cancer. Her 6.5cm tumour was removed later that month but, devastatingly, in February 2017, she was told it had spread to her lungs and liver and was classed as incurable. Dame Deborah died at her parents' home surrounded by her family on 28 June 2022. Tragically, the mum of two had suffered symptoms for months before her diagnosis she was going to the toilet more often, had lost weight, had blood in her stools and was tired. She went to her doctor five times in the six months before her diagnosis, but it was put down to stress or IBS. In a heartbreaking interview with Closer two years ago, she said, “If I'd been diagnosed earlier then it…

Love Island is back on our screens and this summer's series is already fuelled with drama - with couples breaking up and making up, secret kisses and plenty of bombshell arrivals. But viewers have been shocked this season at the level of drama between the female contestants - with one social media user writing, “This has to be the most openly bitchiest #loveisland yet!” There have been more catfights, shouting matches, confrontations and accusations than usual for the first few weeks, which have left the girls divided. BEST FRIENDS And someone who knows the villa dynamics all too well is Kaz Kamwi, who was one of the breakout stars of series seven. Kaz, 28, made it to the final with her then-boyfriend Tyler Cruickshank and the couple finished fourth, but…

When lockdown put a halt to Lauren Spencer's cleaning business overnight, she came up with a regal way to pay the bills - by capitalising on her striking resemblance to Princess Diana. The 47 year old, who lives in Devon with husband Charlie, started her OnlyFans career in 2021 when she was unable to work in the pandemic. And she hasn't looked back since - revealing that demand for her adult content has been extremely high. Lauren says, “Lots of people have told me I look like Princess Diana over the years, which is very flattering. She was beautiful. I'm natural and older than most on OnlyFans, but I love it and am making a fortune looking like Di. “She may have been the People's Princess, but I'm the Princess…

Hollywood legend Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner are in the midst of divorce proceedings, which are swiftly turning bitter after it emerged the handbag designer is refusing to move out of their marital home. It has been claimed that Kevin, 68, has been left “effectively homeless” after he and Christine, 49, failed to reach an agreement, despite the actor's lawyers making “multiple offers” in a bid to get her to vacate their property. It is understood that their 2004 prenup states that Christine - who filed for divorce in May citing “irreconcilable differences” - would have to leave Kevin's residences if they parted ways, with £948k to find a new house. Kevin - who is worth £198m - said it was “surprising” and “disheartening” and alluded to his failed first…

It's not as if you need me to tell you that at times single life can be tough, but I do want you to know you're not alone in this, and that sometimes acknowledging that can be quite empowering. Even more so for those of you who, like me, survived a lockdown solo - the repercussions of which, I'm not ashamed to say, I'm still overcoming. For nine years I've only had myself to rely on to pay the bills, to recover from job loss, to soothe myself on the bad days and - sometimes the hardest of all - to celebrate my wins solo. Those of you who have been single a long time will understand how the Christmases spent alone, the weddings you smile through solo, the friends…

DON'T GET CAUGHT OUT BY SHRINK FLATION! Manufacturers and retailers have reduced the size of products but not lowered the price. Here are three big culprits to be aware of: MAGNUM MULTIPACK Multipacks now only contain three ice creams not four, but are still £3. Worse still, when we checked they were actually £3.20 at Sainsbury's, £3.25 at Tesco and £3.50 at Co-op. Sainsbury's Indulgence Ice Cream costs £1.75 for a pack of 4 and is highly rated in taste tests. CADBURY BUTTONS “Big Share” bags have got smaller, going from 240g of chocolate to 184.8g, so a 23% reduction, but they still set you back £2. When we checked, Asda was asking £2.25 for a bag. You'd be better off getting a ninepack of Cadbury Dairy Milk bars, which…
