It seems the single life truly suits Adele – the Someone Like You singer has quite literally never looked better. The star has reportedly turned to reformer Pilates classes with her best pal, former X Factor judge Ayda Williams, for some post-break-up downtime – and reportedly lost around 14lb. Dietitian Helen Bond told best, ‘Adele is looking incredible right now. She was probably around 13st previously (and a dress size 14-16) but, judging by the recent snap with the Spice Girls, she could well have lost about 1½st, and gone down to a dress size 12-14.’ Could the 31-year-old’s split in April from her husband of three years – charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki, with whom she shares a son, Angelo, six – be behind her health kick? She certainly has the air…

Not so long ago, milk was the only thing you could expect to be delivered to your door. These days, however, you can order just about anything you fancy – and we’re not just talking Thai or chicken tikka masala. No, no, no. Marmite on toast, fish fingers and chips, even a cup of tea – all basics that are easy to make at home – can be delivered to your front door. Made in Chelsea’s Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo, 25, – 2017’s winner of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here – shocked fellow contestants on a panel show when she admitted having a ‘five times a week addiction’ to ordering in bacon sandwiches. What’s more, the food came from a restaurant ‘45 seconds away’ from her front door!…

TRAVEL SNAPSHOT Orlando is known for theme parks, but the attractions really don’t come much better than Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Broadcaster Vanessa Feltz, 57, and her musician partner of 13 years, Ben Ofoedu, 46, are one of the most enduring couples in showbiz – despite the doubters who said they’d never last. Mum-of-two Vanessa, who was previously married to surgeon Michael Kurer, says she’s not with Ben because he’s a decade younger and hot to trot, but because he’s a ‘nice person’ and they work together. Here, she talks about Ben, the haters and why he’s much more than her plaything. With Helena Bonham Carter and Strictly’s Shirley Ballas stepping out with younger men, toyboys are having a moment! Yes, but as someone with a partner who’s 10 years younger, I detest the term ‘toyboy’! It’s foul. It reduces a human being to the status of a plaything. It makes it…

Q I’m going to a school reunion in a month and I’ve aged so much I don’t think anyone will recognise me! Are there any surgery-free solutions that will improve my appearance? Jo, Dorset A DR AAMER SAYS: The ‘Eight-point thread lift’ is a subtle tweak done under local anaesthetic, ideal for those who don’t want anyone to know they’ve had something done. It uses ultra-fine threads inserted at eight points around the face, forming a trellis effect to redefine and contour the face, tighten any sagging and help promote collagen production. The procedure only takes 45 minutes max, depending on the area to be treated, and the threads dissolve gradually over the course of nine months, to be replaced by brand-new collagen. Expect some bruising and mild swelling for…

‘I In case you’ve been in a cave for feel sorry for Boris Johnson and his girlfriend, Carrie Symonds. the past two weeks, they had a row. No, it wasn’t in public, it was in their flat. But, thanks to the lovely neighbours who recorded it on their phones and gave it to a newspaper, everyone knows about it. I rather wish I didn’t because, though he might be the next Prime Minister, it’s none of our business and, in my opinion, doesn’t affect his ability to do the job one jot. He and Carrie are like any couple. They bicker and argue and sometimes, depending on the mood or how tough a day it’s been, it can escalate into a horrible shouting match. The thing is, it’s a bit…

Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson has ditched her toyboy lover Adil Rami – calling him a cheat in a furious rant on Instagram. The 51-year-old, who’d been dating the Marseille footballer, 33, since 2017, branded him a ‘monster’, claiming he ‘led a double life for two years’. Pamela posted a black-and-white snap of them, alongside a caption that began, ‘The last two years of my life have been a big lie. ‘I was scammed… led to believe we were in love, I’m devastated to find out in the last few days, that he was living a double life. ‘He used to joke about other players, who had girlfriends down the street in apartments close to their wives. He called those men monsters.’ Hinting that Adil had been unfaithful, the post continued, ‘He…

BINGE-EATING DAUGHTER My 18-year-old has put on 2st in the past year. I used to be a PE instructor, so I’ve always been invested in the exercise my kids do and what they eat! I’ve come to the conclusion she’s secretly eating. Sometimes I think I’m going mad, knowing there was a lot more in the pantry the night before… I feel like this must be a sign she’s unhappy, too, which makes it even worse. How do I confront her? Gemma, Essex You are right to be worried. Your daughter is obviously secretly eating. She’s behaving that way because she knows you are super-fit, slim as a whippet and won’t approve of – or understand – her need to self-soothe with food. She can’t comfort eat openly in your…

Tom Bateman, 30, has starred in Vanity Fair and Murder On The Orient Express. He is engaged to Star Wars star Daisy Ridley. Tell us about your character John Beecham? John is very strong, quite hard and a bit of a man of mystery. He’s got a baby but there’s no mother and he doesn’t tell anybody anything about that. He’s inherently a very good man who’s trying to do the right thing, but he’s been through the wars. Is the series an ensemble piece? There are quite a few Beechams – me, my mum, my brother, plus the wonderful Bessie [Carter] who plays a family friend [Violet Woodhouse]. What I loved about this was that we all had great stories. Even characters with smaller roles have a falling-in-love story…

Vanessa never edits herself to seem younger – Ben accepts her as she is – with one exception, the dreaded hot flush. She reveals, ‘The menopause is a hell of a thing to inflict on anyone, and if Ben was my original, ancient husband, I’d probably have stuck my bum in the fridge and wailed, “I’m so hot!” But I tone that down for Ben. Although recently he did say, “Vanessa you’ve been hot for 10 years!” There’s me thinking I’d covered it up well, looking constantly irresistible in my negligee, enticing him over the bannisters…’…

Wimbledon kicks off this week, and we Brits have a deep love affair with the world’s oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament. As much as it goes hand-in-hand with Pimm’s and strawberries and cream, Britain’s favourite tennis tournament wouldn’t be the same without Clare presenting on Today At Wimbledon, for highlights of the day’s action and the main talking points.  In-hand with Pimm’s and strawberries and cream, Britain’s favourite tennis tournament wouldn’t be the same without Clare presenting on Today At Wimbledon, for highlights of the day’s action and the main In a recent interview, Clare – who’s had the Wimbledon gig for over 20 years – said of this year’s competition, ‘In terms of the women’s game, it’s phenomenally exciting because literally anyone can win.

We know that sunbathing is bad for us, so how else can we get that longed-for healthy glow? Make-up, that’s how. You don’t have to go overboard on application, either. Using highlighters and fake tan, you’re minutes away from that sunkissed, radiant look. 1 RADIANCE IN A TUBE If you simply want to look healthier, the answer lies in one rather versatile product. While many budget highlighters simply look too glittery rather than ‘glowy’, L’Oréal Paris Glow Chérie, £9.99 (three shades), has a delicate pearlescent sheen that lifts any skin tone. Use it all over your face as a primer, mix with foundation, or dot across your cheekbones for a subtle boost. 2 BRING ON BRIGHT EYES Never underestimate how much a flattering eyeshadow can lift your entire face.

Do you think you’ve seen this dress before? Don’t worry, you’re not insulting me. You probably have seen it before, and I’m flattered you’ve noticed. Because I spend hours – and a lot of money – recreating countless clothing ensembles of my style icon, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. When she wore a beautiful blue Issa dress to announce her engagement to Prince William in November 2010, like everyone else I admired Kate’s effortless style. She was so elegant and feminine, and I just knew she’d fit in with ‘the Firm’ straight away. Although she and I couldn’t be more different, fashion has always been a hobby of mine, and I couldn’t help taking an interest in what Kate was wearing. As a busy doctor, fashion is a welcome escape from…

Here, Chelmsford-born Olivia, 25, opens up about her own experience on the steamy show, and spills the beans on what really goes on inside that Love Island villa!
