For someone who experienced a childhood without TV, Vick Hope is certainly making up for it – as she is rarely off our screens. “I think it made it all the more mythical,” the 32-year-old presenter tells us of how her family didn’t have a TV in their home in Newcastle. It was only when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2018 that her parents bought one to watch her twirling around the famous dance-floor. “I suspect my mum still doesn’t know how to turn it on properly,” says Vick affectionately. More recently, Vick’s proud mother has been switching on to watch her daughter’s run of showbiz slots on Good Morning Britain, as well as tuning into her BBC Radio 1 drive-time show with Jordan North. “Mum says…

As one third of the Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas is no stranger to hits. And he is getting used to delivering them on the softball pitch as well as the recording studio – with the support of his biggest fan: his wife Priyanka Chopra. Cheering from the side-lines as she watched Nick’s latest game (right), the Matrix Resurrections star got into the swing of it by wearing a baseball cap in the red and0 white colours of her husband’s team, Happy Vallis. The couple were photographed walking side by side (left), with a delighted Priyanka taking charge of the drinks cooler while Nick carried his kit. It is the second time in recent weeks that Priyanka has been spotted in the stands at a Happy Vallis game. Before Easter, the…

An event organised by the Prince’s Trust is always a big deal, but the charitable organisation’s first Global Gala in New York was supersized, thanks to a model guest list featuring Naomi Campbell (right), Kate Moss, Karlie Kloss, Adut Akech (left) and the Hadid sisters Bella and Gigi. The first major event since the trust launched in the US, it was hosted by its global ambassadors, singer and American Idol judge Lionel Richie, and British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful. Lionel (above) – who also performed at the fundraiser – told guests: “We are so grateful to everyone who has supported our ambition to help more young people here in the United States realise their dreams, and I am proud to be part of this vital work.” For Kate, the evening…

The man behind the Platinum Jubilee Pageant has told HELLO! how the event will make “people feel good about themselves and good about the world”, adding: “My message is to go out and party.” Nicholas Coleridge is helping spearhead the biggest royal pageant in history, which will see 10,000 people taking part – as the finale to four days of celebrations from 2 to 5 June to mark the Queen’s remarkable 70 years on the throne. Nicholas, who is co-chair of the pageant and chairman of the Victoria & Albert Museum, said of the event – which will include the River Thames and The Mall on its 3km route: “It offers a unique chance for the public to support the Queen. It is a big national event that anyone can…

Kicking off the Let’s Celebrate section of the pageant in style, Janice Ho, 22, will embody a young Princess Elizabeth before her coronation, skipping and dancing down The Mall with The Hatchling, a majestic dragon puppet operated by 15 puppeteers at any given time, towering at 21ft (bigger than a double-decker bus) and with a wingspan the width of The Mall. This act, produced by Trigger, will be quite the spectacle. When I first got the role, I couldn’t imagine being able to perform in front of so many people – it’s going to be terrifying! But I am very excited to be part of such a huge celebration. It’s going to reach so many people outside of the UK in the Commonwealth countries. I grew up in Singapore and…

The coronation will be spectacularly brought to life by performers in carnival costumes depicting a huge crown, sceptre and orb, as well as the Queen’s magnificent robe. Clary Salandy, who co-created the segment for the pageant, tells HELLO! how her colourful tribute to Her Majesty will include dancers dressed as safari animals and flowers, while elderly members of the community will ride mobility scooters modified into flamingos. Explaining her vision for telling the story of the Queen’s accession to the throne in 1952, Clary says: “She was in a treehouse in Kenya looking at the elephants, and I can just picture her doing that and hearing this news that she is now the Queen. “She loves animals and so this first section takes hold of that beautiful thing that is…

Bradford-based Bouncy Bruce is jumping for joy at the chance to show the world his talents. Bruce, 37, is part of Cirque Bijou’s diverse cast of circus artists, street dancers and urban athletes and is set to thrill with his prowess on power or “jumping” stilts. I’m performing on power stilts, which can throw you anywhere from six to nine feet up into the air. I’m leading a troupe of 90 amazing hip-hop dancers, then I break off and do a couple of flips and whatnot. I first got into power stilts nearly 17 years ago, when I took part in the [rugby league team] Bradford Bulls parade dressed as an animal mascot. They asked me to do it on stilts, which broke. To say thank-you for struggling through they…

The Queen doesn’t allow the threat of rain to spoil the mood at a garden party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse to celebrate her Golden Jubilee. Her Majesty always uses a Fulton birdcage umbrella with a transparent dome so her face stays visible when sheltering from a downpour. And this, the latest in our series of candid shots from her 70-year reign to mark her Platinum Jubilee, shows she had it handy at the event on 25 May 2002 to mark her 50th year on the throne. It is her tradition to host four garden parties each summer in the beautiful gardens of Holyroodhouse and Buckingham Palace, during which she and other members of the royal family welcome more than 30,000 guests each year. Spending every summer at Balmoral in…

It’s a subject she’s long spoken out about and now Princess Eugenie has taken her fight against slavery and human trafficking to the podcast world. Floodlight (inset below right) aims to shine a light on modern slavery – an issue the royal has spoken about at the United Nations – and highlight the work of those battling to end it. The first episode launched last week, with Eugenie, 32, co-hosting with Julia de Boinville (both right), with whom she co-founded the Anti-Slavery Collective in 2017. Best friends since school days, the two women will be speaking in the podcast to “guests from all walks of life who are helping to combat modern slavery in a variety of ways”, Eugenie said on Instagram. She added: “From lawmakers and company leaders to…

Lara Asprey’s favourite spot in her modernist, glass and concrete open-plan house just outside Santiago in Chile is her bedroom balcony, with views to the swimming pool in the garden below and out towards the mountains beyond. “Everywhere you go in Chile, there’s a backdrop. In London, you wake up to grey skies and rain most of the time,” she says of the city she once called home. “Here, we’re up high, the air is clean and crisp, there’s slight dew on the bushes and the sun is creeping up over the side of the mountains.” THE SKY’S THE LIMIT Every evening, once she’s put children Elise, five, and 15-month-old Oliver to bed, the balcony is where Lara will lie on her daybed with a glass of wine and watch…

Taking the wellness world by storm, Roxie Nafousi’s ascent doesn’t seem to be slowing down. The adviser on emotional health, podcaster and ambassador for the Mental Health Foundation counts celebrities such as singer and presenter Rochelle Humes among her fanbase – the author’s Sunday Times bestseller, Manifest: 7 Steps To Living Your Best Life, has even been spotted in the hands of supermodel Bella Hadid. Promoting positive self-talk and focusing on ways to be kinder to ourselves, Rosie says: “Everything you do matters; the way you treat your body and the things you do day to day sends a message to the universe of how worthy you think you are.” Teaming up for the third time with wellness brand The Head Plan, the 31-year-old mum to two-year-old son Wolfe has…

It wasn’t airtime but heir time that was the focus when the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall paid a visit to the London headquarters of the BBC World Service at Broadcasting House, to mark the station’s 90th anniversary. Charles and Camilla toured the studios, sitting in on a rehearsal with BBC Pashto presenter Sana Safi (below), who broadcasts to Pashto speakers in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and speaking via video link to reporters in Ukraine and Russia. After meeting BBC news anchor Clive Myrie and chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet – both of whom have reported live from Ukraine – the Prince called them “incredible”, adding: “It takes a hell of a lot of courage.” The Duchess (left) described their work as “the most important job”. Before leaving,…

Wearing a flowing white dress and matching bonnet, five-month-old Aurelia couldn’t have been in better hands at her christening. The baby girl was snuggled tightly in the arms of her besotted mother Millie Mackintosh, who echoed her younger daughter’s style in an embroidered white gown from Rixo, her hair in a crown braid. Joining them at St Peter’s church in London’s chic Notting Hill was proud dad Hugo Taylor (below, with Millie and Aurelia), as well as family and friends. “Surrounded by our nearest and dearest it was such a lovely day, full of so many magical memories that we’ll all treasure forever,” Millie, 32, wrote on Instagram, with a series of photos capturing the event. Sharing his own series of photos, Hugo, 35, told his followers it was a…

There were strange goings-on at the London premiere of Benedict Cumberbatch’s latest film, which saw him surrounded by fans dressed as his character, Marvel’s Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange (below). Working his magic on the crowd, Benedict also posed alongside his co-star Elizabeth Olsen, the pair smiling in the spring sunshine (left). The actors appeared to be having a marvellous time during the Trafalgar Square photocall, which was the latest promotional pit stop for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Whether for art-house films or fantasy blockbusters, Benedict is more in demand than ever, and juggles projects with life as a husband and father of three. “Logistics are difficult,” he told one interviewer. “Balancing around things that are now more important than my career is primary, so your priorities shift.”…

CAROLINE FLACK Flackstock festival to raise money for charity Family and friends of Caroline Flack have announced a festival to be held in her honour to raise awareness about mental health. Flackstock, on 25 July, will celebrate the life of the TV presenter, who took her own life in 2020 at the age of 40, and feature appearances from celebrities such as Fleur East, Professor Green and Dermot O’Leary. Ticket sales will help raise funds for the mental health charities Choose Love, Mind, Samaritans and the Charlie Waller Trust. “Flackstock is the wonderful idea of those who knew her best,” said Caroline’s mother Christine. “Not only is Flackstock the most positive way to honour Carrie, but charities that she loved will benefit from the proceeds.” JAMES CORDEN Quits US talk…

Ending months of baking and tasting, the Duchess of Cornwall and Dame Mary Berry (above) will unveil the winner of the Platinum Pudding competition to design a dessert fit for the Queen next week. More than 5,000 people responded to Fortnum & Mason’s challenge to come up with a dish that could easily be re-created at home. The show will see the five finalists – all home bakers – prepare their Platinum Puddings for a panel of judges that includes Dame Mary, Buckingham Palace head chef Mark Flanagan and former MasterChef star Monica Galetti, with the winning dish served at Big Jubilee lunches up and down the country. The Jubilee Pudding: 70 Years in the Baking is on BBC1 on 12 May at 8pm.…

Ice dancing legend Jayne Torvill and her long-time skating partner Christopher Dean will be appearing in the star-studded second act of the pageant, as part of a group of 150 “national treasures” from the worlds of TV, music, food, sport, design and art, riding on an open-topped double-decker bus. They include pop icon Sir Cliff Richard, chefs Heston Blumenthal and James Martin, Alan Titchmarsh, football star turned presenter Gary Lineker, comedienne Rosie Jones and Paralympian Kadeena Cox – and even children’s TV favourite Basil Brush. Here, the former Winter Olympic champion tells hello! of her excitement at honouring the Queen, whom she and Chris have had the pleasure of meeting on multiple occasions. Chris and I were very excited when we were asked to take part in the final day…

Isle of Wight carnival group Shademakers are bringing a menagerie of fantastical beasts – both farmyard and mythical – to life for a spectacular segment of the pageant. Volunteer Joshua Sunnucks, 17, will be puppeteering one of the unicorns. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I’ve grown up in the Isle of Wight so I’ve seen Shademakers at carnivals and they’ve always looked amazing. When my family and I saw the announcement on Facebook asking for extra help for the pageant, we were there. My brothers and dad are involved too – it’s a family affair! The rehearsals are going well – it looks great so far. I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s going to be a magical experience on the day. I’ve never done puppeteering before. I got…

When the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh visited the Fijian capital Suva during their tour of the Common wealth in December 1953, Ajay Chhabra’s mother Sharda, a nine-year-old schoolgirl at the time, was captivated. “It changed her life,” Ajay tells hello!. “All the children lined the streets with flags and it was such a sense of occasion. She never forgot it and when she was 20, she came to live in Britain. That royal visit has always been part of our family’s story.” Sharda, who died two years ago during the first lockdown, was uppermost in Ajay’s mind as he and his London-based performing arts company Nutkhut devised The Wedding Party segment for the pageant, which will feature giant bride and groom puppets and a 20ft-high model of a…

As she smashed plates on stage at the National Theatre in London, the Duchess of Cornwall joked: “I might try this at home!” While the stage crockery was designed to be broken, the activity proved to be “very therapeutic” for the royal, who was visiting the theatre for the first time since taking over from the Duchess of Sussex as royal patron in March. Meghan had been handed the prestigious role by the Queen, who had held the position for 45 years. Now Camilla has taken over, Meghan having lost the patronage when she and Prince Harry quit as senior royals in 2020. CENTRE STAGE A dedicated supporter of the arts, Camilla settled in to watch a ten-minute workshop for The Odyssey, an upcoming production by Public Acts, the National’s…

Dianne Buswell is very happy dancing through life with her boyfriend Joe Sugg. But when HELLO! catches up exclusively with the Strictly Come Dancing professional, she tells us she would love to add some miniature twinkle-toes into the mix one day. “I definitely see children in my future. One day, I’d love to [start a family], for sure. I love kids,” she says, speaking just before the start of the Strictly Come Dancing – The Professionals tour at the end of April. Australian Dianne, 32, and social media star Joe, 30, whose love story began when they were partnered on the BBC’s hit show in 2018, have been getting in plenty of training when it comes to parenthood after the arrival seven months ago of Ottilie, the daughter of Joe’s…

While many would be happily putting their feet up as they approach their milestone 100th birthday, Edinburgh’s Patsy Mundie was busy knitting up a storm – producing 100 mittens to raise funds for the city’s homelessness charity Social Bite. She also raised hundreds of pounds producing the wooly warmers during lockdown (right). Rather than gifts, Patsy asked for donations to the charity to mark her century last week. She was also delighted to receive a card from the Queen – and a message from her tennis hero, Sir Andy Murray. The grandmother of eight and great-grandmother of four is something of a heroine herself. During the Second World War, she was recruited to send highly secret Morse code messages to agents working in occupied Europe. She was awarded a medal for…

Singer Kelly Rowland dazzles at the 94th Academy Awards with super sleek centre-parted hair. For her glowing complexion, the 41-year-old credits LA-based celebrity facialist Shani Darden: “During Covid, she sent me a little kit and told me how to mix things and we sat there on FaceTime and did a facial.” Kelly swears by Shani’s Retinol Reform, which she says “changed my life”.…

Having had a fascination with Kashmir since her childhood growing up in West Bengal, chef, food writer and TV cook Romy Gill wanted to discover more about the cuisine and culture of the region. But it was only after travelling to locations such as Leh, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Himachal Pradesh – learning more about her homeland as she went – that she finally decided to travel to Kashmir. What she discovered is now the basis of her new cookbook, On the Himalayan Trail: Recipes and Stories from Kashmir to Ladakh. Here, Romy – who became one of the UK’s few female Indian chefs to open her own restaurant when she launched Romy’s Kitchen in Bristol in 2013 and was made an MBE in 2016 – talks exclusively…

The verdict on her style is rarely less than favourable, and that was certainly the case when Amal Clooney was photographed in New York looking characteristically chic. The barrister, who specialises in human rights law, flew into the Big Apple with her mother Baria Alamuddin, for appointments including an informal meeting with the United Nations Security Council (below). Amal is part of an international legal task force investigating possible war crimes by Russian forces in Ukraine. “Justice is something we must fight for,” she told delegates in an impassioned speech. Off duty, Amal proved equally impressive, whether spotted leaving her Manhattan hotel en route to another meeting (right) or heading out for dinner with Baria (left). In a recent interview, Amal spoke about being the subject of public scrutiny, thanks…

She has maintained a relatively low profile since welcoming her daughter Khai in September 2020. But did that mean Gigi Hadid was going to look anything other than fashionable and fabulous for her birthday celebrations? Of course not. In fact, the model made it look like a cinch in her Dion Lee white lace duster coat and trousers, worn with a matching corset and a pile of pearls (left). Helping her mark her 27th birthday at private members’ club Zero Bond in New York was a VIP guest list that featured Gigi’s mother Yolanda, her father Mohamed and siblings Anwar and Bella (right), along with close friends including Blake Lively, Helena Christensen and Emily Ratajkowski (far right). Helping to ensure her big sister’s big day really blew up, Bella and…

Unrealistically proportioned fashion doll or feminist icon? Whatever your views, one thing is for sure: in bringing Barbie to the big screen in a live-action film that is due out next year, Margot Robbie plans to be in the driving seat. Last week, fans got their first look at the actress in character, grinning broadly and seated behind the wheel of Barbie’s signature pink convertible (right). Shared on Twitter by Warner Bros. Pictures, the promo shot was captioned with the film’s release date, 21 July 2023. Margot heads a big-name cast that features Ryan Gosling (as Barbie’s long-term partner Ken), Will Ferrell and Issa Rae. Best known for playing Suicide Squad’s Harley Quinn, the Academy Award nominee and Chanel ambassador (left, at the 2021 Oscars) will also act as producer,…

Three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has been sentenced to two years and six months in prison for hiding his assets to avoid paying bankruptcy debts. Sentencing the former tennis star at Southwark Crown Court last Friday, Judge Deborah Taylor said: “You have lost your career and reputation and all your property as a result of your bankruptcy. You have not shown remorse, acceptance of your guilt and have sought to distance yourself from your offending and your bankruptcy.” She added he would serve half his time in jail and the remainder on licence. Boris, 54, who arrived at court wearing a Wimbledon tie (above) and accompanied by girlfriend Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, was found guilty last month of four charges under the Insolvency Act in relation to his 2017 bankruptcy.…

Charity volunteer Manjula Koria will be flying the flag for key workers when she takes part in the Thank You Dance in honour of the Queen and those who selflessly contribute to society. Manjula, 63, from Milton Keynes, is one of 28 key workers chosen to join community arts company Kinetika and one of 245 performers. She has hand-painted a 46x20ft silk scroll depicting Her Majesty’s life devoted to public service, which she will showcase in the pageant. I feel very privileged and honoured to be part of the pageant – I am excited and nervous at the same time. I was chosen because of the charity work I do, but I want to thank all the key workers and anyone who can take time out of their lives to…

One of the most ambitious and energetic segments will feature adisabled breakdancer, amputee aerial artist and wheel chair athletes, who will come together to create a moving circus celebrating diversity. “It’s about getting everyone involved and creating a circus for everyone,” says Rachel Pender-Cudlip, manager at Bristol-based performing arts company Cirque Bijou. “We use a lot of disabled and non-disabled artists, and that informed our whole approach – to make it as diverse and unified as possible.” Cirque Bijou’s segment, called Unity, will centre around a huge moving stage and will feature acrobats, young hip-hop dancers and stunt riders, who will perform tricks and jump onto Land Rover Defenders moving alongside. The float will also have a trampoline wall and a celebrity DJ, while unicyclists and performers on bouncy stilts…

The Duchess of Cambridge brought a ray of sunshine as she marked Anzac Day at Westminster Abbey last week, after a last-minute diary change made it possible for her to join her husband the Duke in commemorating Australia and New Zealand’s war dead. Elegant in a white coatdress by Alexander McQueen and Calypso Halo headband by Jane Taylor London, she added a striking red poppy from the Royal New Zealand Returned and Services Association to her outfit, fixed with a silver fern brooch. As the Duchess prepared to mark Princess Charlotte’s seventh birthday on 2 May, she opted to rewear the striking coat she wore for her daughter’s christening. She also wore it to Trooping the Colour in 2016, and to the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex…

In their first official engagement together, Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi flew out to Sweden last week for the launch of the World Dyslexia Assembly. They joined Queen Silvia, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia at the Royal Palace in Stockholm to add their voice to the event, which was organised by the charity Made By Dyslexia, of which Beatrice is an ambassador. The meeting was captured in a photograph on Instagram, captioned: “A special thank you to Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, a longtime activist for dyslexic minds and to her husband Edoardo for joining us.” Both Beatrice, 33 and Edoardo, 38, have dyslexia, which affects their ability to learn and process information, something they also share with Prince Carl Philip – his dyslexia was one…

Sonia Boyce has won the Venice Biennale’s top Golden Lion prize. Sonia is the first black female artist to represent the UK at the international contemporary art exhibition. This is the perfect time to celebrate Sonia’s achievement because the world is becoming more inclusive and we should be celebrating that. Honestly, this kind of representation shouldn’t have such a “wow” factor. But it’s important to recognise it and celebrate it when it happens. When you have a more equal playing field for everyone, you capture more talent from different backgrounds – and you get these amazing results. As I always say: “If you can see it, you can be it.” Sonia (above inset) and her award will influence a generation of young people to believe they can be like that…

This mother-daughter duo are incredibly close. Binky Felstead, 31, often posts about their “unbreakable bond” and her mum Jane, 71, once boasted about finding a flat just 266 steps from where her beloved “Binks” resided. But is there a generational divide when it comes to their beauty routines? Since becoming a mum to daughter India, four, and son Wolfie, nine months, Binky says she is a “massive advocate for self-care and taking time out for yourself”. And following her multiple sclerosis diagnosis back in 2017, Jane admits she has lost some dexterity. So what are their skincare priorities and make-up preferences? Working with beauty brand Nivea, Binky and Jane describe the rituals that work for them and come together in praise of their hero products. Binky, Jane: who is more…
