You know how the saying goes… behind every great man, there’s a great woman. In the case of The Great White Shark Greg Norman, there are two women who have been watching his success and supporting him from the sidelines from day one. This week, we catch up with Greg’s mum Toini and big sister Janis, who tell us of his beginnings in Townsville (p38). Janis also keeps her world-famous brother humble, revealing she recently beat him at his own game and insists she’s the sportier sibling. Like so many Aussies with family abroad, they can’t wait until Greg can return home for a visit – and you can be sure a round of golf will be on the cards!…

For a family that tries desperately to hide its secrets, an awful lot of dirty laundry about the tawdry private lives of the royals will be made public in the next 12 months. The monarchy is set to be rocked by an unprecedented five lawsuits, the worst of which has dragged embattled Prince Andrew into war with America’s fearsome federal prosecutors over the alleged sex trafficking ring once operated by his paedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein. Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are going head-to-head with Britain’s most powerful newspapers over claims of copyright infringement, phone hacking and paying a source from deep within the palace who revealed their secrets. And now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have entered the fray, slapping society bible Tatler with a lawsuit over…

The MasterChef kitchen has been plagued with rumours of infighting, searing tensions and short tempers this season, and in the show’s final weeks on air it seems things are about to explode between its most competitive cooks! Woman’s Day hears the talented final contestants have been pitted against each other in a bid for lucrative TV offers, cookbook deals and future media jobs, and it’s causing more than a little friction behind the scenes. “It’s not just been a case of trying to win the show, they’re trying to scoop up deals left right and centre,” a set insider tells Woman’s Day. “They’re being thrown contracts for everything from homewares to books. Everyone’s trying to cash in on the show’s booming popularity,” adds the insider. “It’s everyone for themselves when…

THERE’S MORE THAN ONE BIG BROTHER! Housemates are led to believe they’re talking to the one and only Big Brother, but little do they know that they’re revealing their deepest and darkest thoughts to several producers. “Whenever the housemates wish to chat, they’re usually put onto a producer whose voice is remastered to sound like the actual Big Brother in post-production for the show,” says our source. THERE’S NO BASEMENT ROOM! While the show makes it look like the housemates walk into a room in the house for their challenges, the basement room is actually far away from the BB compound. A source tells Woman’s Day contestants are “blindfolded, covered with a hoodie and then driven to the challenge set in a small bus”. “While they’re being transferred, there’s to…

Face gym, face yoga and face training. Call it what you like, there’s just one rule: don’t knock it until you try it! We expect expensive treatments might be out of your budget right now, so some simple anti-ageing facial exercises might be just the ticket to helping you feel alive again. Annelise Hagen, author of The Yoga Face: Eliminate Wrinkles With The Ultimate Natural Facelift, says, “Relaxing the muscles where we hold the most tension – the jaw, brow and forehead – counteract the wrinkle-causing grimacing we do on a daily basis.” Sounds just like Botox, only there’s no needles involved. What exactly are face exercises? Think of it like resistance training for your face. Think of your knuckles, or tools like jade rollers and gua shas, as mini…

At the same time as the Duchess of Sussex was attempting to position herself at the forefront of the Black Lives Matter movement, her best friend, confidante and unofficial employee Jessica Mulroney committed an unforgivable racially charged gaffe – and has found herself firmly on the outer with Meghan. After being busted attempting to turn Toronto-based contacts against black influencer Sasha Essex, and later threatening to sue her for libel despite publicly apologising, Canadian stylist Jessica, 40, has found herself unceremoniously fired from countless lucrative contracts. And it seems she’s been cut off by Meghan too, after reports of a tense phone call between the pair. However, the duchess could find herself stuck between a rock and a hard place, given that she was relying on Jessica to form part…

When The Biggest Loser stars Steve “Commando” Willis and Michelle Bridges split last year, it appeared their mutual separation was for the best. But while Michelle, 49, has taken the opportunity to start fresh since the split, Steve, 44, has thrown himself into another relationship, with F45 trainer Harika Vancuylenberg – and it’s causing concern among friends and clients. One source, who called Steve a “mentor” after training with him for more than a year, tells Woman’s Day they noticed a change in Steve’s demeanour late last year after he was rumoured to have met Harika on a boot camp trip in Tahiti. “He changed when he started to see Harika. He turned a little more cold,” the insider reveals. “When he was with Michelle, I’d train at their house…

When Montana-born beautician Heidi met handsome Aussie cowboy Eric Yates at the professional bull riding finals in Las Vegas, she was instantly smitten. And while she tried to resist falling in love because of the 13,000km distance between her US home town and Eric’s home in the tiny rural town of Gloucester, north of Sydney, she agreed to marry him just 12 months later. Even Eric’s shock diagnosis of a serious heart condition on the eve of their whirlwind wedding couldn’t stand in the path of their love, with a heavily medicated Eric flying to Montana for their nuptials in December 2000. The couple returned to Australia to start a new life in the beef belt on the NSW Mid North Coast, with Eric starting a bucking bull breeding company…

FIND YOUR FLAVOUR Try different regional styles to figure out which flavour profiles are most suited to your palate. The Game Of Thrones Single Malt Collection (from $99.99, liquor stores) is a great entry point for people new to whisky, due to the wide range of choice it offers. LOOKS MATTER Swirl the whisky around the glass and look at how the liquid sticks to the inside of the glass, forming “legs”. The slower these legs run down the glass, the more viscous the whisky will feel in your mouth. AROMA IS EVERYTHING The majority of flavour is generated by aroma, not taste. Bring the rim of the glass up close to your nose and breathe in gently with your mouth ajar. With its high alcoholic strength, you need to…

Long before the Kardashian clan dominated pop culture and gave rise to their most wealthy offspring, serial entrepreneur Kylie Jenner, the world knew of only one Kylie, Australia’s own Miss Minogue! And just like the Kardashians, our Kylie hasn’t wasted any time, capitalising on her girl-next-door likeability and amassing a staggering $100 million empire. It certainly explains why the pop princess fought hard to win a legal battle against her reality TV star namesake, who had applied to trademark the name “Kylie” in the US. ROSÉ FUTURE Kylie, 52, might have a Grammy, seven UK number one hits, 14 studio albums and more than 70 million record sales but it’s her savvy side businesses that have seen her go from Aussie songstress to merchandise mogul.

When a blond-haired, blue-eyed teenage surfer pleaded with his mum Toini to teach him how to play golf, no one could have guessed it would mark the beginning of an extraordinary career. “It was 1969, and we’d just moved to Brisbane from Townsville – Greg was 15 and Janis 17,” Toini, 89, tells Woman’s Day from the family home she shares with her husband of 69 years Merv, 92, in Moreton Bay, Queensland. “I was a championship golfer with a four handicap, and Greg asked if he could carry my bag and clubs for me at the inaugural Virginia Golf Club competition day. “He figured out if his mum could play that well, he had a reasonable chance at being pretty good.

EXERCISE “Engaging in workouts supplied by gyms online such as Goodlife Health Clubs is an easy and efficient way to improve your mood during isolation. The trick is to not let your mind talk you out of it.” MEDITATION “The easiest and fastest way to engage in meditation is to see the brain as left and right sided. The left is constantly chatting, usually negative and distracting, but if you engage your right brain then the left brain has to stop. When this is practised regularly, ruminating thoughts get quieter and negativity is reduced.” GRATITUDE “Think of three things you’re grateful for and record them every night. Make it different every day. It can be as small as being grateful for breathing in.”…
