It was a clearly relieved Lauren Silverman who landed in New York last week. Holding her son Eric tightly (left), the US socialite was no doubt glad to put distance between her and memories of a terrifying night-time break-in at the London home she shares with partner Simon Cowell. Simon, Lauren and their 22-month-old son were asleep at their house in Holland Park when a thief broke in, managing to evade Simon’s live-in security guard. “The frightening thing is the idea that there’s someone in your house,” Simon told reporters the next day (right). “It’s not what they steal, it’s the fact that they’re in your house, that they can break in. It’s a bit nerve-racking. [But] no one got hurt.” It was reported that jewellery worth tens of thousands…

Everyone likes to step out for their birthday and one-year-old twins Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella of Monaco are no exception. Celebrating their first 12 months, the young royals showed off their fancy footwork, with Jacques striding away from his mum Princess Charlene, while his sister got a helping hand from Dad Prince Albert (left). Albert and Charlene, who had cancelled as many appointments as they could to make their children’s big day one for the family, celebrated with schoolchildren from the principality while the choir of U Cantin d’A Roca sang a traditional Happy Birthday . And of course there were cakes – one blue and one pink (above) – made by chefs at the Lycée Technique et Hôtelier de Monte-Carlo. Dressed in a stylish cream coat, Charlene looked…

It was his first UK visit in three years and singer Justin Bieber wasted no time setting his British fans’ pulses racing after he jetted into London last week. Hinting that there could be One Less Lonely Girl in the world, the Canadian star said he was on the hunt for a new girlfriend – and that she could be from this side of the Pond. “There’s no girls really in the UK at the moment that I really am into, but I’m hoping to meet someone really special in the next couple of years. It could be a British girl,” he said, speaking ahead of his much-anticipated performance at Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball (above). Justin joined artists including Little Mix and Ellie Goulding at the festive gig at…

RITA ORA After arguments on the judging panel on The X Factor in previous series, this year has seen Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora getting on famously. So will they be exchanging Christmas gifts now the show is over? “I’m going to,” says Rita. “I think it will be nice to put a little personal touch on every present. Everyone’s got a specific present that goes with their personality.” The Kosovo-born star will be having a break over the festive season. So what is Christmas Day like for her? “You can just do whatever you want for the day. It’s all about family, so we kind of have dinners and talk a lot of nonsense and act foolish and drink a lot of wine.” And what’s…

With deep, feline eyes and a poised pout, Daisy Ridley is a dead ringer for Keira Knightley. Surely she must hear that all the time? “Not often enough. So you can stay,” she beams. “Say more things like that, it’s such a compliment.” The dazzling newcomer has only a few guest spots – on TV series such as Casualty and Mr Selfridge – on her acting CV, yet she is about to become one of the biggest names on the planet thanks to her leading role in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It is two years since Daisy, 23, won the role of Rey, so how does it all feel now? Is she scared, excited, daunted? “All of the above,” she says. “No, I’m not scared, more excited for it…

NEXT SEASON? C’EST CHIC! Model Lilah Parsons was surrounded by friends and family to celebrate the unveiling of her spring/summer 2016 collection, designed in collaboration with Yumi. The capsule line, which will go on sale in March, is made up of 17 pieces and is inspired by 1960s Parisian chic. The partygoers – Donna Air and Diana Vickers among them – drank Cointreau cocktails as they perused the range at 15 Bateman Street in London’s Soho. V.I.P. GUESTS ARE ALL DOLLED UP Designer Jasmine Guinness and her business partner Honey Bowdrey hosted a Christmas party to mark the introduction of A Girl for All Time dolls at their London toy shop Honeyjam. There were Christmas biscuits to nibble on and prosecco for the grown-ups as the glamorous crowd, including supermodel…

I first met Claudia Winkleman when we appeared on Granada Breeze TV together many years ago, when she was starting out. Back then, she had a reputation for always laughing and giggling on screen, so it is comforting to know that, despite her huge success, she has not changed one bit – she remains as charming and self-effacing as ever and she still loves to laugh. Little wonder, then, that the co-host of Strictly Come Dancing has won over not only the family audience that makes up the show’s fan base, but also pretty much everyone else, too, as her appearances on comedy panel quiz shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats and Never Mind the Buzzcocks demonstrate. Marks & Spencer is certainly a fan, which is why it asked…

The dining table is the place where your friends and family will spend much of their time on Christmas day. The dinner is the big event – and although setting the table is likely to be the very last thing on your long list of tasks, it’s worth making the effort to create something special. The table offers plenty of scope for decoration, whether it be creative place settings, a striking centrepiece or pretty displays of candles and festive baubles. The décor doesn’t have to be anything too elaborate and can be done cheaply. Just remember to keep to the three Ss: make it simple, stylish and surprising. CHOOSE YOUR COLOUR The first thing to do when styling your Christmas dinner table is to choose your colour scheme. You could…

Step back in time this Boxing Day to a fantasy world in which some of Charles Dickens’s best-known characters – including Ebenezer Scrooge and the Artful Dodger – co-exist in 19th-century London. The 20-part BBC1 drama, titled Dickensian, has been penned by former EastEnders supremo Tony Jordan and features an all-star cast that includes Peter Firth, Pauline Collins, Caroline Quentin, Omid Djalili, Stephen Rea and Tuppence Middleton as a young Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. “I read the book again not long before we started filming and although it’s not the same as I played her, it was really helpful in informing me,” says Tuppence (right) of the challenges of playing the character in the full flush of youth, as opposed to the elderly jilted bride she is in the…

She may be a serious fashionista but that doesn’t mean Victoria Beckham can’t wear a Santa hat when she’s feeling festive. Showing her lighter side last week, the designer still managed to look super stylish as she teamed her novelty headwear with a purple dress from her forthcoming collection. She was back to her impeccable self a few days later as she arrived at JFK airport in New York to catch a flight back to London dressed head to toe in winter whites. Wearing an oversized jumper from her own collection – no doubt to keep out the chill back home – teamed with an asymmetric skirt, leopard-print heels and large sunglasses, she was the epitome of cool. Victoria had made the quick trip to the city that never sleeps…

Former Royal Ballet star Darcey Bussell has long seen the pointe of dance. And now, says the Strictly Come Dancing judge, more boys are, too. Speaking ahead of last weekend’s final, in which The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness (left, with partner Aliona Vilani) fought for the title, the ex-ballerina (right) said growing numbers of boys were taking up the discipline as a result of the show’s success, as well as that of hit dance film and West End show Billy Elliot . “I was told by the director of the Royal Ballet School that they are getting more applications for boys than for girls,” she said. “The problem now is that we’re not producing enough women.” Ballet has also gone through a “180 degree turn” since she learnt to dance in…

After being named in the New Year Honours list at the start of the year, Dame Joan Collins finished 2015 with another award. The actress was among those receiving trophies at the inaugural UKares Foundation Benefit in Los Angeles, where she took home the Icon title (left). “I’m very flattered that this new charity is honouring me,” she told HELLO! of UKares, which supports UK and Commonwealth citizens in need living in the US. “You know, I’m very charitable in what I do,” she added. “In England, I have Shooting Star Chase, which helps children with disabilities. I got involved with UKares because they called me – I don’t think that we have enough care for ex-pats who are underprivileged.” Also honoured at the event, which was held at the…

Taking the opportunity to spice up their lives before Christmas, former bandmates (left, from left) Geri Horner, Emma Bunton and Melanie Brown arranged a lunch date at Sexy Fish in London. Proving that friendship never ends, the trio posed for a group selfie (above), each posting the picture on their Instagram pages. “With my lovely ladies,” was how Geri captioned hers, while Emma summed up the experience with a series of hashtags: “#spiceupyour life #girlpower #goodoldfriends”. And Mel, who’s in London for various work commitments, including filming the UK version of Lip Synch Battle , wrote: “An afternoon with my biatches.” It was not her first catch up with Geri since she flew in from LA. The pair met the previous week, with Mel tweeting: “What a day!!! But lovely…

OSCAR PISTORIUS Bail granted after murder verdict Former Paralympian Oscar Pistorius has been granted bail while he awaits sentencing for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp following the decision last month by a South African court to upgrade the original conviction of culpable homicide. The athlete, who shot and killed the model in 2013, claiming he thought she was an intruder hiding in his home, is currently under house arrest in Pretoria after serving one year of his original five-year sentence. Bail was set at 10,000 rand (£450) and the new sentence will be decided next year. Pistorius, who now faces a minimum of 15 years behind bars, is waiting to appeal the new verdict. CHRIS BISSON ‘Overjoyed’ at birth of daughter Emmerdale star Chris Bisson announced the arrival…

With an expression of pure love, Twiggy cradles her baby granddaughter Joni close to her, tenderly wrapping her inside the folds of her soft pink coat. There’s no mistaking those huge blue eyes – a striking trait inherited from her grandmother – which light up in wonderment as baby Joni gazes at the festive tree adorned with silver and white ornaments in Twiggy’s elegant London apartment. This Christmas looks likely to be the best ever for the Sixties icon, who next year celebrates 50 years in the fashion business – and she is holding the source of that joy in her arms. “Little Joni is the best Christmas present I could ever have wished for,” Twiggy tells HELLO!, as she spends precious time with her granddaughter and daughter Carly in…

Awards season started in earnest with last week’s announcement of nominations for the 2016 Golden Globes awards, with British talent well to the fore. Kate Winslet and Dame Helen Mirren will battle it out for Best Supporting Actress – for Steve Jobs and Trumbo respectively – and not for the first time. The duo went head to head in the Best Actress category in 2007 (above left), with Dame Helen emerging victorious for her title role in The Queen . Eddie, meanwhile, is nominated for his portrayal of transgender artist Lili Elbe in The Danish Girl . The film premiered in London last week and Eddie, who hit the red carpet (above right) with his co-star…

DOWNTON ABBEY It’s New Year’s Eve 1925 and the Grantham family, along with their loyal servants, are preparing to usher in a new era for the big house in the last episode of Downton Abbey . “I can’t quite believe it’s coming to an end,” says Michelle Dockery (with co-star Matthew Goode as Henry Talbot), as she films her final scenes as Lady Mary at Highclere Castle, her fictional home for the past five years. “It brought a tear to my eye. It’s really beautiful. I think the audience will be sad but it ends on a very positive note.” Newlywed Lady Mary is building bridges with Lady Edith after being the catalyst for her sister’s fiancée Bertie Pelham breaking off their engagement. Can she help…

Unless you abstain from alcohol altogether, it is unlikely that you will avoid the symptoms of a hangover this party season. We all know that painkillers can ease the problem and that drinking less prevents it, but what about those home remedies and clever cure-alls that people swear by? We asked Shona Wilkinson and Ella Allred, two nutritional experts at NutriCentre, to sort the facts from the fiction. Here’s what they said: FACT OR FICTION I’M NOT HUNGOVER, I’M DEHYDRATED Fact “Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning that your body needs to put its water supplies into your bloodstream to dilute it, leaving your cells lacking the water they need,” says Shona. “Because the human brain is around 70 per cent water, dehydration can lead to brain shrinkage, which is what…

FILM THE FORCE AWAKENS The Force is definitely strong with this latest episode of the blockbuster Star Wars saga. British newcomers Daisy Ridley and John Boyega join stalwarts Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Harrison Ford (Han Solo) and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) in a new fight against the forces of darkness. • In cinemas from 17 December BOOK 100 REASONS TO LOVE AUDREY HEPBURN Did you know that the much-loved actress had an orphaned fawn named Pippin, or that she was fluent in five languages?

With Christmas fast approaching, it was a case of jungle all the way for Vicky Pattison, as she went the distance on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and was named the show’s winner Down Under (far right). The former Geordie Shore reality TV star beat fellow finalists Ferne McCann from The Only Way is Essex and Union J’s George Shelley – and she could barely contain her excitement when the results of the public phone vote were announced. “It doesn’t sound right. I think you’ve made a mistake,” she told the show’s hosts Ant and Dec. After thanking all those who had voted for her, she joked: “I’m probably going to have to pay me mam and all me mates’ phone bills.” Back in the UK, Vicky…

Black dresses might have proven as popular as ever, but Livia Firth ensured guests at the inaugural GCC Global Leaders of Change Awards were thinking green. Famous for her Green Carpet Challenge, which puts sustainable fashion on the red carpet, the Eco-Age co-founder launched the awards to recognise businesses that are pioneering human rights. Hosting a dinner at the Mandarin Oriental in Paris, Livia – whose green satin shoes were an appropriate choice – said: “If we look at the two simple actions we all do every single day – eating and getting dressed – we can truly understand the impact that has on the planet and people. “We’ve been disconnected far too long from the issues we face today, whether climate change, poverty, slavery or equality, thinking that they…

Businessman and US Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has been heavily criticised after he called for all Muslims to be banned from entering the US following the San Bernardino shooting, in which 14 people were killed and 22 injured in an Islamic extremism-inspired terrorist attack. Among those responding to his demand for a “total and complete shutdown” of the country’s borders to Muslims was his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, who said his idea was shameful and dangerous. The Republican was also criticised after he claimed areas of London were “so radicalised that police are afraid for their own lives”. London Mayor Boris Johnson said he was “betraying a quite stupefying ignorance”, adding: “The only reason I wouldn’t go to parts of New York is the very real risk of meeting Donald…

Legendary rocker Ronnie Wood had a big surprise for his family, friends and fans last week: at the age of 68, the ever-youthful Rolling Stones guitarist announced he is to become a dad again, to twins. Ronnie, who already has four grown-up children and ten grandchildren, and his third wife, 37-year-old theatre producer Sally Humphreys, told their exciting news through an official spokesperson for the band. “Sally and Ronnie Wood are delighted to announce that they are expecting twins in June 2016,” said their announcement. “Needless to say, they are thrilled and overjoyed with the wonderful news.” Among the first to congratulate the proud pair was his best friend and ex-Faces bandmate Rod Stewart, 70 – himself a dad of eight, including sons Alastair and Aiden in later life with…

They have been dating for six years and engaged for four and a half and former Chelsea and England footballer Frank Lampard and TV presenter Christine Bleakley are ready to take the next step. Having set their hearts on a traditional marriage, the couple will tie the knot on Sunday at a church near their London home, then hold a reception at private members’ venue the Arts Club in Mayfair. Christine’s former Dancing on Ice co-presenter Phillip Schofield and his This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby are expected to be among those helping them celebrate, while Frank’s former England team-mates John Terry, Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole are also thought to be on the guest list, along with Chelsea manager José Mourinho and Frank’s cousin Jamie Redknapp and his wife Louise.…

It started with the embracing of a royal “gringe” – the industry term for the flattering grown-out fringe that the Duchess of Cambridge has been sporting since September. Last week, Kate took things a step further by adopting a new, shorter, much bouncier hairstyle – which, says Richard Ward, her hairdresser of many years’ standing, is much easier to manage for any mother juggling a busy life and family. “I would describe this style as sophisticated, versatile, bouncy glamour,” award-winning royal and showbiz favourite Richard tells HELLO!. “As we head towards the start of a new year, women quite often decide it’s time for a change. A fringe is a great way to dip your toe into the water. Often, with hair, one thing can lead to another; if you…

They’re rocking around the Christmas tree at Strictly Come Dancing , where the set has been given added sparkle for this year’s Yuletide special. Former fan favourites Abbey Clancy and Lisa Snowdon are being helped into fairytale outfits at the Elstree studios in Hertfordshire while McBusted drummer Harry Judd is going through his steps with his dancing partner, Joanne Clifton. Six former contestants – four previous winners, Harry, Abbey, Tom Chambers and Cassidy Little, who won The People’s Strictly for Comic Relief this summer, plus 2014’s Alison Hammond and 2008 finalist Lisa Snowdon – will try for the trophy. “It feels like the final of all finals,” laughs Tom. “They’ve got ex-champs everywhere.” ‘It feels like the final of all finals. They’ve got ex-champs everywhere’ Harry BABY I LOVE…

Miranda Kerr sparkled at the Swarovski Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Shanghai last week.

Suede over-the-knee boots and a selection of gems from Swarovski – including the Dorado necklace, pictured above – completed her decidedly festive ensemble.…

Cocoa loco? If you constantly need a chocolate fix, it may be down to magnesium.

HALF HOUR WITH… Oscar-winner Matthew McConaughey seems to have everything he could wish for: an acclaimed career, a home filled with acting trophies – including that coveted Academy Award – and a beautiful family. But even he gets excited for Christmas. “What I like most is the night before – hanging up the stockings, setting out the milk and cookies. Wondering how the heck Santa can get down that chimney,” he says. “Then answering questions such as, ‘How does he do everybody’s house?’ It’s magic. He’s a magic guy.” The 46-year-old actor, who left behind his romcom past to stun the critics with his performance in 2013’s Dallas Buyers Club and then again in the hit TV series True Detective , which secured him a Golden Globe nomination last year,…
