After making history as the first married couple to join The X Factor ’s judging panel, pop legend Robbie Williams and his actress wife Ayda Field have announced that they’re stepping away from the talent show after just one season. The duo made a joint announcement on their respective Instagram pages, hinting at new projects and telling fans “it’s impossible to do everything”. The statement, shared alongside a photo of the couple, continued: “We’re gutted to tell you we won’t be able to return to The X Factor this year. We will, however, be working on projects with Simon [Cowell] going forward – and as huge fans of the show, we will still be tuning into The X Factor , voting and winding Simon up.” THE DOOR ‘REMAINS FIRMLY OPEN’…

Baby girl, I love you so much,” he said. “My team, thank you every one of you. To the fans out there, you are…

And now Rami Malek and Lucy Boynton are the toast of Hollywood, with the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody stars topping the guest list on a night packed with A-list names, who had all travelled to Paris for the launch of the Clash de Cartier collection at former palace La Conciergerie. Rami, 37 – who won the Best Actor Oscar in February for his portrayal of singer Freddie Mercury – opted for head-to-toe black, while British actress Lucy, 25, was a stunning contrast in an ethereal pink tulle Marc Jacobs gown. She pulled off the look with aplomb, accessorising with crystal-embellished Sophia Webster sandals and a Roger…

The Duke of Sussex has joined forces with US chat show queen Oprah Winfrey (left) on a series on mental health for Apple. HELLO! understands Prince Harry has chosen to have donations made to mental health charities in exchange for his involvement in the documentaries. Kensington Palace said the show “will focus on both mental illness and mental wellness, inspiring viewers to have an honest conversation about the challenges each of us faces, and how to equip ourselves with the tools to thrive, rather than to simply survive”. A post on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Instagram page said: “The pair have been developing the series for several months and are looking forward to sharing such an important project on this global platform.” The partnership comes nearly a year…

‘You came into my life and made me laugh’ Marc With its A-list guests, couture outfits and magnificent decor, it could have been an international fashion show. But the great and the good of the world of style were in New York for a very different reason – the wedding of designer Marc Jacobs and his partner Charly “Char” Defrancesco. After the couple exchanged vows at their house in upstate New York, the designer and his new husband threw the most lavish of celebrations at adjoining New York restaurants The Grill and The Pool for their closest friends and family. Those lucky enough to make the 700-strong guest list included supermodels Kate Moss – who brought along daughter Lila, 16 – and Naomi Campbell, as well as Kaia Gerber, Bella…

Her fashion sense has reigned through many a designer dynasty, but last week Dame Joan Collins was wearing her heart on her sleeve. The actress was in her element as she opened a Shooting Star Children’s Hospices charity shop brimming with pieces donated from her own wardrobe. Dame Joan had the honour of cutting the ceremonial ribbon at the boutique in Cobham, Surrey (above left), stocked with 300 of her personal items including designer dresses and hats (above right). “Valentino would be proud,” she said. “I hope we make lots of money… to help Shooting Star Children’s Hospices continue their wonderful work.” The actress, who is vice-president of the charity, was looking shipshape in a navy blazer next to her husband of 17 years, Percy Gibson, in a complementary jacket…

He will soon become a father but the Duke of Sussex is showing no signs of nerves according to an old family friend. Prince Harry is “just so excited” and “will make the most wonderful father”, said Jayne Woodward, the wife of former England rugby union coach Sir Clive. The couple met the Duke last week when he officially opened a new £6.15m youth centre in East London, and handed him a present for his baby in a Paddington Bear gift bag. Lady Woodward declined to reveal what the present was, but when asked whether Harry seemed anxious about the event ahead, she told HELLO! : “Not at all. I think he’s just so excited. He will make the most wonderful father. We’ve known him since he was about 13…

‘I would never cry in front of bullies – it’s important to show that you’re stronger than them’ As she strutted down one of the world’s most high-profile catwalks, Alexina Graham oozed confidence. Now completely at ease among the most elite models, it’s hard to believe that this stunning Victoria’s Secret star – who has just been named as the second British VS Angel – was, while growing up, cruelly targeted by classmates. “I was badly bullied at school as a teenager,” she tells HELLO! in an exclusive interview, explaining how the experience made her tougher. “But it gave me a backbone. I would never cry in front of bullies – it’s important to show that you’re stronger than them. “Bullying in any form is unacceptable,” says Alexina, adding her…

Keira Knightley GET THE LOOK The two-time Oscar-nominated actress looked radiant at the world premiere of her latest film The Aftermath . Keira’s hairstylist of 15 years, Ben Skervin, pinned her loose curls with a vintage Chanel brooch, and Keira stuck to her make-up mantra: “Black liner in the lash line and lots of mascara. Always. Top and bottom.” To recreate her glow, the star – who uses rosehip oil to combat dry skin – recommends mixing foundation with a little moisturiser for sheer coverage.…

‘It’s a privilege to be here amongst so many talented and inspiring people’ A Dame and a Duchess added a regal touch last week to UK theatre’s biggest night of the year. The Duchess of Cornwall, wearing a navy ball gown and a diamond necklace, and Dame Darcey Bussell, striking in an emerald Bruce Oldfield dress, both dazzled at the 44th annual Olivier Awards, held at London’s Royal Albert Hall with some of the biggest names in the West End – and beyond – lighting up the red carpet. Other guests cutting glamorous figures were Katharine McPhee, star of the hit musical Waitress, in an Elie Saab scarlet gown, and Gillian Anderson, who was up for Best Actress for West End hit All About Eve, in a black velvet dress.…

Louise Redknapp is clearly happy to be back at work as she smiles outside the London theatre where she has just started a three-month shift in hit musical 9 to 5 . The star had been forced to delay her debut in the West End show after breaking her wrist in rehearsals in January. But working overtime to get fit has paid off and Louise is now back in business in the musical (below) based on the 1980s movie comedy. “It’s been great, I’ve loved it,” she said. Louise will return to her favourite job – raising sons Charley and Beau – when her run ends on 29 June. “I would do it forever if it was just for me, but I’ve got two boys and I look forward to…

Bond star Daniel Craig is making the most of family time before filming starts this month on the next 007 movie. Wrapped up against the chilly weather, Daniel and his Oscar-winning wife Rachel Weisz enjoyed a stroll on the streets of New York with their eight-month-old daughter (above). The low-key outing in the Big Apple took place just days before the British star became the longest-serving James Bond. Daniel, who first donned the iconic spy’s tuxedo in 2006 in Casino Royale, has now surpassed Sir Roger Moore’s record of 4,526 days in the role. But it is unlikely he will top Roger’s tally of seven Bond movies. Daniel was an instant hit as 007, winning legions of fans when he emerged from the sea in his debut outing (right). He…

The regular web series, which goes live this week, will see the star share expert tips in videos and blogs. And if anyone knows what makes a house a home, it’s Laura, who has a string of renovations under her belt. “I am passionate about property.

But I love everything about the process of transforming a rundown wreck in to a wonderful home”…

Scarlett Johansson stars as the formidable Black Widow in the eagerly anticipated Avengers: Endgame, so it was only fitting that she looked just as fierce as her character while celebrating the forthcoming release at a special invite-only event in London last week. The actress stole the show in a daring asymmetric Tom Ford tuxedo jumpsuit, pairing her striking outfit with a dramatic plum lipstick and statement chandelier earrings (right). Scarlett, 34, was joined by her co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Paul Rudd, who both looked dapper in checked suits (below). On the red carpet, Scarlett revealed that keeping the film’s plot a secret gives her “anxiety”. “I will be celebrating not only the premiere, but the fact that I will not have to keep these crazy secrets any more,” she said.…

The Palace said in a statement: “Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their…

‘I’m an opera diva but here I am doing musical theatre… It’ll be a wild adventure’ An interview with Danielle de Niese is likely to turn into a private performance. Given the right cue, the irrepressible opera star will fill the room with her voice – demonstrating the difference between singing opera and musical theatre, for example, by launching into a series of scales. The soprano will soon be using a lot more of what she describes as her “middle” rather than “high” voice as she makes her West End debut in the Broadway musical Man of La Mancha , starring alongside Kelsey Grammer – aka Frasier – and Only Fools and Horses star Nicholas Lyndhurst. “It’s a dream come true,” she says, taking a break to talk to HELLO!…

Martha Hunt STEAL HER STYLE Martha Hunt rarely fails to impress with her street style and stepping out in New York last week she delivered a masterclass in off-duty chic. The Victoria’s Secret model – who suffered with scoliosis when younger and earlier this month praised Princess Eugenie for her “inspiring” decision to show her own scoliosis scar on her wedding day – stepped out in high-rise wide-leg jeans by Totême, a simple white Rosa Chá T-shirt and Ports 1961 blazer. Classic Chanel slingbacks and quilted bag completed her relaxed look.…

She may not be a household name, but Marian Newman is a leading light among manicurists. A true trailblazer, she has carved out a career in the fashion industry and paved the way for generations of nail technicians. Marian was one of the first to work backstage at a fashion week. It was 1997 and Alexander McQueen’s second season at Givenchy. “Lee [Alexander] faxed over sketches of long, spiral silver talons. Nothing like them had been attempted before,” Marian recalls. “All I had to go on was my creativity and an awful lot of experimentation.” And where make-up artists had been expected to apply nail polish for photoshoots, Marian began proving her worth on set with a string of high-profile bookings. Reflecting on a Kate Moss cover shoot for Vogue…
