The advent of social media has given us a window on how the stars prep for Christmas, and this year there’s been a flurry of activity before the traditional countdown even begins. Top of the tree, naturally, was All I Want for Christmas Is You singer Mariah Carey, who donned festive red velvet to pose with one of her beloved pets against a backdrop of baubles and stockings (above right). “Tis the season!” she wrote.

The professional dancer has swapped sequins for the sofa and is presenting Strictly’s spin-off show It Takes Two, as well as having a regular slot on BBC1’s Morning Live. Now, she’s set to be reunited with her former co-stars in spectacular style after it was announced she will be hosting the Strictly Come Dancing Live arena tour when it hits the road in the New Year. “It’s a dream come true and I have to keep pinching myself,” Janette tells HELLO! in this exclusive interview – her first since landing the role. “I’m so excited for the tour because I…

When it comes to putting up the Christmas decorations, the Kanneh-Masons have surely set a new record at the family home in Nottingham. “Yes, they started going up in September,” says 25-year-old pianist Isata, the eldest of the exceptionally talented musical family, as she and her brother, cellist Sheku, 22, quickly explain the reason for getting into the festive spirit so early. Over the past few months, they have invited cameras into their home for a special BBC2 TV programme following them as they prepare for their traditional Anglo-Afro-Caribbean style celebration. “More usually we put them up mid-December and then sometimes we forget to take them down, so they are still up well into January,” laughs Isata, as they gather around their magnificent tree for a prelude to Christmas with…

The Duchess of Sussex wins newspaper battle The Duchess of Sussex has called for an overhaul of the tabloid newspaper industry after the publishers of the Mail on Sunday lost its Court of Appeal challenge over its publication of a personal letter from Meghan to her father Thomas Markle. In a statement after judges rejected the attempt by Associated Newspapers to have the case go to trial, Meghan said: “This is a victory not just for me, but for anyone who has ever felt scared to stand up for what’s right. While this win is precedent-setting, what matters most is that we are now collectively brave enough to reshape a tabloid industry that conditions people to be cruel and profits from the lies and pain that they create. The courts…

Never in a million years would I have thought I would struggle with my mental health, but if I had had an app like Baby Buddy 2.0 when my firstborn was younger, my experience in motherhood would have been like night and day. We have this incredible pressure as new parents; we think we’re supposed to get everything right. But this app allows parents to get that guidance and support free, with no judgment. I am a proud ambassador of Best Beginnings, which last week launched this new and improved free pregnancy and parenting app. It’s a big a step up from Baby Buddy 1.0. The new app still has the brilliant content that was in the first version, including a series of films to support mums’ and babies’ mental…

When it comes to Christmas, Amanda Holden has no doubt who gives the best gifts: her husband Chris Hughes. “My best presents always come from Chris and are always in small boxes,” she says. The worst? “My mum bought me a battery-operated head scratcher one year because she said I had everything. She said what else could she get me? I said: ‘Not that. I wanted socks.’ I donated it to the local charity shop. Another year, she bought me a birdcage full of lemons…” ‘For me, it’s the build-up to Christmas that is so special. And my favourite part? Switching on the lights. Buying people presents…’ The glamorous TV and radio presenter is a big fan of the festive season. Speaking ahead of the I Can See Your Voice…

‘We’re sisters and we’ll always have each other and you in our lives’ With their arms around each other and beaming widely, the Little Mix girls are the proudest of best friends. As Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall hit the red carpet last week in support of their bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock at the premiere of her film debut, Boxing Day, they couldn’t have looked closer. It turned out to be a poignant evening out for the trio as, less than 48 hours later, they announced they’re taking “a break” and going their separate ways – for now. The band – who were put together on The X Factor, which they won in 2011 – released a joint statement confirming they would be pursuing individual projects. However, they insisted this was…

Life imitated art as the Marchioness of Bath took part in a charity art auction to help a food relief charity. Looking as pretty as a picture at the Mandrake Hotel in London, the Dolce & Gabbana model had the celebrity crowd doing a double take as she struck a pose next to her own portrait (right). Luckily for Emma, she did not have to try too hard to canvass support – the painting, by Spanish artist Elena Gual, sold for £13,000 to help vegan charity Food For Life Global, which helps provide free meals to people in need across 60 countries.

In the world of ballet, the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy is a particularly difficult nut to crack, so fans of Tchaikovsky’s festive favourite will be relieved to know it will be in safe hands when the Royal Ballet’s principal Fumi Kaneko steps up to the challenge at the Royal Opera House this month. Fumi first danced The Nutcracker’s punishing cameo ten years ago, but despite being familiar with its demands, she tells HELLO! it is a dance that always keeps her on her toes. “It’s only ten minutes on stage, but it’s one of the hardest roles for principal dancers – you need stamina,” she says. “[But] it’s such a Christmassy ballet – the music is joyful and it’s lovely to dance.” Her appearance will be all the…

‘The incredible story of seven-year-old Freddie Dawson, who completed a marathon charity challenge of running 100km in a month and raising over £2,000 for two charities, makes me so proud. And what’s amazing is that he ran in the cold and dark evenings while keeping on top of all his other extracurricular activities, such as his football, swimming and running clubs. You’ve just got to give the youngster, from Thorpe St Andrew, Norfolk, a medal – what an inspirational kid. Just think how determined Freddie was, doing it every single day off his own back. He is so thoughtful and that’s what we need in this world. Parents just want their children to get outdoors, enjoy themselves, exercise and think of others, and this boy has done it all in…

BRADLEY COOPER Reveals knife threat while travelling in New York Hollywood star Bradley Cooper was held up at knifepoint on a New York subway in 2019 after letting his “guard down”. Speaking to Dax Shepherd on the Armchair Expert podcast, the 46-year-old said the incident had taken place at 11.45am while he was wearing earphones. “I felt somebody coming up and I thought: ‘Oh, probably wants to take a photo or something.’ I look down and I see a knife.” Bradley started running before jumping over the subway’s turnstile and hiding to take a photo of the man as he left the station. After following the man to take more photos, he reported the incident to nearby police. “I realised I had gotten way, way too comfortable in the city.…
