I didn’t know who was looking back’ Chemmy Former Olympic skier and mum of two Chemmy Alcott, 37, can recall the exact moment last year when she decided to get back in touch with her body. “I looked in the mirror and I wasn’t comfortable with who I was,” she tells HELLO!. “I didn’t know who was looking back at me. I had been a professional athlete for 20 years, then I became a mum and I lost who I was. I wanted to find myself again and be confident in myself as a woman and mother.” Determined to get back to her best, she knew just who to call: speed skater turned personal trainer Sarah Lindsay.…

Charity begins at home, they say, but the Prince of Wales showed it doesn’t stay there when he visited Fishlake in Yorkshire to see recovery efforts following November’s floods. As well as meeting some of the firefighters, soldiers and police officers involved (above and left), Prince Charles donated to flood relief funds in the area via the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation, Clarence House announced. Charles, 71, spent around two hours chatting to rescue workers and locals, who lined the streets to meet him.

And arriving at the Hare & Hounds pub, Charles was treated to an offer too good to refuse.…

Firstly, it feels so good to be back writing my page for you. I’ve had a few months off after the year turned into possibly one of my most challenging. In the summer, a routine appendix op went horribly wrong, resulting in further surgery and months of recovery. And in November, I lost my dear mother after a long, brave, dignified battle with lymphoma. But I know she lives on; I can hear her saying: “Crack on, Louise!” This week I suspect the most I shall do to improve my health is ease off the Stilton and Sancerre. Never one for painful resolutions, I’m all for picking the lowest-hanging fruit first. Start with little habits, and build on them weekly. It makes for a more comfortable landing into the new…

TERIYAKI TOFU  Serves 2 Preparation time 20 minutes Cooking time 10 minutes “This is one of the best ways I know of cooking tofu.
