As if being a professional on the nation’s most dazzling dancing competition weren’t enough, Amy Dowden’s life has got even more glamorous. With her Strictly Come Dancing partner Tom Fletcher on tour as part of McFly, the 31-year-old Caerphilly-born dancer is hotfooting it around the rehearsal studio by day and then taking to the stage in front of roaring crowds of thousands by night. “I’m definitely embracing the pop-star lifestyle,” she tells HELLO!. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. “I’m a McFly superfan, so it’s a dream come true. My younger self would be fangirling – actually, I am fangirling, right now.” Amy has joined the band on stage in Manchester and at Wembley and knows “the order of every song and when the fireworks are coming”. She even…

No stranger to ruffling fashion’s feathers, US actor and singer Billy Porter was on top form at the Elizabeth Taylor Ball to End Aids fundraiser in Los Angeles. The Emmy-winning star, 52, struck a Pose (right) in a Viviano Sue red tulle coat dress and sparkling rhinestone shoes as he was honoured with the prestigious Commitment to End Aids Award, after going public about his HIV-positive diagnosis. “Elizabeth Taylor was one of the first people in the public eye with celebrity to show the world how to love; to show the world what unconditional love looks like,” he said. “And all these years later to be honoured in her name is… takes my breath away.” Stepping into the spotlight to make a rare red-carpet appearance, Dame Elizabeth’s goddaughter Paris Jackson…

Rumour Has It that things are getting serious between Adele and sports agent Rich Paul. Three months after they were first linked, it was not just the tiny photo booth they were posing in that made the pair look closer than ever as they celebrated the wedding of basketball star Anthony Davis to Marlen P. The resulting image (inset below) was one of a trio shared on Adele’s Instagram. Her first post with Rich, it was accompanied by a love-heart emoji. Other snaps showed her looking elegant in a Schiaparelli haute couture dress (far left). A fellow guest at the wedding, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, described the pair as “happy together”, revealing: “She was dancing with everybody. They’re a nice couple.” Believed to have been dating since first saying…

It was a picture-perfect evening when the Marchioness of Bath had her portrait drawn for charity by London-based Spanish artist Elena Gual. “I’ve never sat for a portrait before – how cool is this?” 35-year-old Emma (posing for Elena, right) told HELLO!. “Elena is extremely talented.” Sharing a short video of the session with fans on Instagram, she added: “I cannot wait to see the finished portrait, which will be auctioned at the end of October with all the proceeds to be donated to #charity.” The former Strictly Come Dancing star wasn’t the only one striking a pose at the private viewing of Elena’s AURA exhibition at London’s Grove Square Galleries.

Horse extravaganza to mark Queen’s milestone A never-before-seen spectacle of horses and stars of the stage and screen will be the first major celebration marking the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next year. Entitled A Gallop Through History, the 90-minute extravaganza will feature more than 500 horses and 1,000 performers in a dazzling display of pomp and pageantry in the grounds of Windsor Castle. Tickets went on sale last week. Speaking to hello!, the Queen’s head groom Terry Pendry said: “Next year’s going to be extraordinary. It’s never been done before, but we’re doing it at the Royal Windsor Horse Show. Horses are Her Majesty’s passion, absolute passion.” Unveiling details of the celebration, which takes place 12-15 May, organisers said it would be “a personal tribute to our monarchy”, complete with A-list…

‘The most special thanks must go to the thousands of people across the country’ The Duchess of Cambridge was in a celebratory mood last week as she hosted a drinks reception for people involved with her innovative photographic project to capture life in lockdown. Kate invited her collaborators to St James’s Palace, where they toasted the success of her Hold Still exhibition and its spin-off book, which has become a bestseller. “It took a long time to bring everyone behind this incredible project together in person, but tonight we finally managed it,” the Duchess said. “The idea for #HoldStill2020 came right at the start of the pandemic and aimed to bring people and communities together, using the amazing power of photography.” Kate, 39, launched the project during the first lockdown…

Welcoming a beautiful baby girl into their lives and to the royal family was a moment of complete joy for Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, whose first child together made her entrance into the world last week. Their daughter was born weighing 6lb 2oz at 11.42pm at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London on 18 September, with new mum Beatrice sharing their happy news on Twitter and giving thanks to the hospital team. “So delighted to share the news of the safe arrival of our daughter. Thank you to the midwife team and everyone at the hospital for their wonderful care,” she wrote. The little girl is a second grandchild for the Duke of York and his former wife Sarah. The proud grandmother was among the…

Louis enjoyed a cuddle with his grandpa during a photoshoot to mark his 70th birthday He may be the baby of the Cambridge clan, but Prince Louis is growing up fast and is now just a year away from starting school. It seems like only yesterday he was christened by the Archbishop of Canterbury at the Chapel Royal in St James’s Palace. Aged 11 weeks, he was described by his doting mother the Duchess as “very relaxed and peaceful”. She added: “I hope he stays like this.” Prince Louis Arthur Charles of Cambridge was born at 11.01am on April 23, 2018, and just seven hours after he entered the world, his proud parents took him home to Apartment 1A at Kensington Palace. Fifth in the line of succession, he is…

Lena’s middle name is Elizabeth after the Queen, to whom mum Zara is especially close Tindall, her older cousins and – of course – adored by her great-grandmother. The perfect playmate for her fun-loving older sister Mia, three-year-old Lena appears to be a bundle of energy and, alongside both of her siblings, is a regular fixture at the various equestrian events her sporty mum attends and competes in. Born on 18 June 2018, Lena Elizabeth Tindall is the seventh great-grandchild of the Queen and is now 23rd in line to the throne behind Mia. She is the third of the royal great-granddaughters to have the middle name Elizabeth, after her great-granny, to whom Zara is especially close. Her rather un-royal first name, however, was chosen simply because her parents liked…

Looking regal in an exquisite ivory gown set off perfectly by sparkling family heirlooms, Sabrina Percy said “I do” to her fiancé Phineas Page in a spectacular society wedding. The breathtaking nuptials of 31-year-old Sabrina – a relative of the 12th Duke of Northumberland, whose ancestral seat, Alnwick Castle, featured in Downton Abbey and the Harry Potter films – and restaurant brand manager Phineas, 38, took place at London’s Chelsea Old Church in front of 170 distinguished guests, including Sabrina’s grandmother the Dowager Marchioness of Bute, Lady Violet Manners, Lily Worcester, Isabel Getty, Amber Le Bon and Hum Fleming – great-niece of James Bond creator Ian Fleming.

She has always challenged convention, and now burlesque star Dita Von Teese (right and below) is ready to strip back the stereotypes surrounding her art. This weekend sees the glamorous performer star in her first live-streamed show, Night of the Teese – A Cinematic Special, a revue filmed at Los Angeles’s historic Orpheum Theatre.

I have performers of lots of different ages, from 20 to 50. “I think it’s part of my responsibility…

First birthdays are always fun, but having Tamara Ecclestone organise your celebration has to be the icing on the cake. To mark younger daughter Serena’s milest one, the business-woman pulled out all the stops to plan “a weekend of celebrating and cakes”. Making sure flowers, friends, balloons and plenty of love were on hand, Tamara treated her little girl to a puppy party, with highlights including a life-sized dog cake complete with bone, ball and candle. However, Serena seemed particularly taken with one huge pale pink confection decorated with her name. Keen for a taste, she got stuck in – much to Tamara’s amusement. “Cake smash time,” she wrote, sharing a photo (above) online. Mother and baby girl were also joined by devoted seven-year-old sister Sophia, who is known as…

Of all the Queen’s great-grandchildren, his destiny is unique. Born to be King, Prince George is third in line to the throne behind his father and his grandfather, the Prince of Wales – a line of succession that was illustrated in an official portrait with the Queen last year. But while he has met Presidents and Prime Ministers and has three royal tours under his belt already, for now the football-mad eight-year-old is being encouraged to have as normal a childhood as possible by his devoted parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Speaking in 2016, the Duke said: “There’ll be a time and a place to bring George up and understand how he fits in the world. But right now, it’s just a case of keeping a secure, stable…

The birth of Savannah Phillips nearly 11 years ago made the Queen a great-grandmother for the first time. The monarch was “delighted with the news”, Buckingham Palace said at the time of this royal milestone. The elder daughter of Peter Phillips and his then wife Autumn, Savannah was also a first grandchild for the Princess Royal. As the eldest of a dozen youngsters that make up the newest generation of the royal family, Savannah is the leader of the pack and she delights in playing with her young cousins – occasionally keeping them in check, too. She’s most often seen in public with sister Isla, who is 15 months her junior, watching their aunt Zara Tindall ride at eventing competitions, where the sisters enjoy larking around with Zara’s little girls.…

Thandiwe Newton GET THE LOOK The actress wowed with a mauve lip at the Reminiscence premiere in Los Angeles. Thandiwe, 48, says it took time to find out what works best for her skin: “As I get older, I need more hydration. I try to stay off coffee because it sucks moisture from my skin.” She believes less is more: “I think we have a tendency to over-primp. Through trial and error I realised I was messing around with my skin too much.”…

A decade after her death at the age of 79, Hollywood legend Dame Elizabeth Taylor is getting star billing once more thanks to a new book. Forever Elizabeth: Iconic Photographs of a Legendary Star charts the actress at different stages of a career that spanned decades and won her two Academy Awards – as well as the hearts of seven husbands and thousands of adoring fans. Featuring rare and unseen images by eight renowned photographers, including Terry O’Neill, Norman Parkinson and Gered Mankowitz, the book includes behind-the-scenes shots from her 1968 film Boom! taken on location in Sardinia (left), as well photos of her with her children. There are also candid photos of Elizabeth in London’s South Bank in 1963 with her Cleopatra co-star Richard Burton (above), whom she went…

Going from Sporty to spangly, Melanie Chisholm has traded in her tracksuits and trainers for a whole lot of glitz after signing up to take part in US TV series Dancing With the Stars. The singer (left and below) is following in the footsteps of her Spice Girls bandmate Melanie Brown, who was runner-up in 2012, but what she really, really wants is to take home the coveted Mirrorball Trophy. “I’m so excited,” she wrote on Instagram. “I’ve got a long way to go but I’m here for the challenge.” Partnering professional dancer Gleb Savchenko (right), Melanie has already proven she’s no Wannabe, impressing the judges with her first routine last week – a cha cha to the band’s 1996 hit. She later thanked fans for “all your love and…

As president of the Football Association, the Duke of Cambridge is one of the biggest supporters of all things to do with the beautiful game. But deep in his heart, there’s one team that always has his backing – his beloved Aston Villa – and last week, he joined the 3,000 loyal away fans (left) watching them take on Chelsea in the third round of the Carabao Cup. While he could not hide his sorrow as Villa lost 3-4 on penalties, the Duke was on winning form the next day to visit non-league side Dulwich Hamlet FC. Calling supporters the “heart and soul” of a club, he talked about the future of football with MP Tracy Crouch, chair of a fan-led review into the game, and chatted (right) with former…

JULIA BRADBURY Speaks out after breast cancer diagnosis TV presenter Julia Bradbury is to undergo a mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She will have an operation in October to remove her left breast and its 2.5in tumour. The 51-year-old Countryfile star was diagnosed in July, shortly before going on holiday with her partner Gerard Cunningham and their children, Zeph, ten, and six-year-old twins Zena and Xanthe. “It does feel like losing a part of you, part of your sexual identity and part of your experience of motherhood,” she said of the operation. She added she was speaking out to encourage others to get tested. “Being scared of a diagnosis could be the thing which kills you. So learn what to look for and check, check, check.” DANIEL CRAIG…

‘I was actually very nervous. I kept thinking don’t miss, don’t miss’ ‘Her forehand was incredible — I was very impressed. It was a lot of fun’ Enjoying a spot of doubles, the Duchess of Cambridge hailed Britain’s new queen of tennis last week when she teamed up with US Open champion Emma Raducanu. Kate, 39, held court with the 18-year-old tennis ace and Britain’s other US Open winners – Joe Salisbury, one half of the men’s doubles champions, and Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid, the wheelchair doubles team who became the first all-British pairing to complete a calendar Slam (all four Grand Slam championship titles in a year) with their win – and was clearly delighted to congratulate them in person. A keen player herself, as well as patron…

‘Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty the Queen’ She may not be a Princess, but Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor’s name is as royal as they come. Her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, chose it in honour of the Queen, whose childhood nickname Lilibet was coined when, as a toddler, the then Princess Elizabeth couldn’t pronounce her own name. Diana is, of course, a tribute to her late grandmother Diana, Princess of Wales. But to the baby girl’s adoring family, she is known simply as Lili. Announcing her birth on their Archewell website this year, Harry and Meghan wrote: “On June 4, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love…

Whenever Gemma Atkinsonfelt exhausted during her recent charity trek in the Scottish Highlands, she knew who to turn to. Her two-year-old daughter Mia – whose dad is Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Márquez – had recorded a special message for her mum. “I had a video of Mia saying: ‘Keeeep walking!’ So whenever we needed a motivational talk, we just watched the video,” she says. The actress has only just returned home to Manchester from the challenge when she catches up with hello!, and she’s already missing the “peace, tranquillity and simplicity” of the rugged landscape, where she hiked for 62 miles over five days to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer charity CoppaFeel!. Joining fellow team captains Giovanna Fletcher, Emma Willis and The Great British Bake Off’s Selasi…

Looking on with love in her eyes, supermodel Kate Moss enjoyed a proud-mum moment last week when her daughter Lila took to the catwalk oozing confidence and sass. Lila, 18, blazed onto the runway in a bright red strapless jumpsuit to open the show for designer Richard Quinn in the final collection of London Fashion Week. Enjoying the action from the front row, Kate clapped and beamed broadly alongside Australian model Jordan Barrett, who is signed to the Kate Moss Agency, and UK Vogue editor Edward Enninful. Unlike previous years, with back-to-back catwalk shows, this first full fashion week after lockdown featured a hybrid of digital films, presentations and installations mixed with catwalk collections. But there was no shortage of celebrity names as singers Mabel and Mahalia, Olympian Dina Asher-Smith,…

Find your happy face This month, award-winning facialist and skincare expert Lisa Franklin is launching a broad-spectrum sunscreen that addresses “epidermal jet lag” – basically, post-holiday skin. While helping to shield skin from the sun, this incredibly hydrating cream provides sheer coverage and is packed full of antioxidants to deal with the side-effects of pollution, late nights and long-haul flights.
