The Woman’s Day team were divided when I asked them how they like to open up gifts. Many, like me, prefer a delicate approach while others, our Editor-at-Large Phil and Deputy Editor Laura included, prefer to rip right in. But there was one thing we could all agree on – we’d give anything to earn millions simply by unwrapping presents! This week, we chat to a handful of kids who are doing just that, raking in the big bucks by sharing videos of themselves opening and testing new toys, with other children around the globe lapping up each and every post. Talk about living the dream! All prices and values are in Australian dollars. Please confirm prices with local retailers.…

Besides knocking over a candle that set her at-home gym alight, Britney Spears has appeared noticeably happier on social media in the past few months. And it seems there’s a good reason for Brit’s smiles – rumours are she’s engaged! The Toxic singer, 38, who has been dating her handsome former backup dancer Sam Asghari, 26, since 2016, had no intention of hiding a stunning new diamond ring during an outing in Los Angeles last week. Enjoying the warmer weather, the singer took a romantic bike ride around San Fernando Valley where she was spotted flaunting the latest addition on her engagement finger! It will be wedding number three for the mum-of-two who was briefly married to friend Jason Alexander in 2004 before walking down the aisle with Kevin Federline…

Despite dating for three years, being married for three and sharing nine-year-old son Flynn together, Miranda Kerr doesn’t appear ready to extend an olive branch to her ex-husband Orlando Bloom, even though she publicly insists they’re great mates. The 37-year-old former Victoria’s Secret model took to Instagram on US Father’s Day to thank her own dad John Kerr and her new husband Evan Spiegel, telling fans she felt “so lucky” to have the two men in her life. Noticeably absent was her ex, 43, who she divorced in 2013 because they “weren’t bringing out the best in each other”. Miranda remarried in 2017.…

The UK media has breathlessly described the Duchess of Cambridge as a “kingmaker” since marrying Prince William, but it’s their three joyful children who make him a modern royal dad. And in sharing a stunning set of photos of Wills playing with Prince George, six, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, two, on Father’s Day, it’s clear just how much he’s thriving as a family man. In a more formal frame, taken by his wife and keen snapper Kate, 38, Wills can be seen clutching his youngest while George and Charlotte grin alongside him. But it’s the candid shot of the foursome rolling in the grass at Anmer Hall in rural Norfolk that has captured hearts. “It’s fantastic to see William opening up like this, and allowing the public to…

The Voice coach Guy Sebastian has fast become the show’s biggest villain ever after he turned his chair, despite already having a full team in the final episode of the blind auditions. The move has since set off a firestorm of exchanges between Guy, 38, and pop superstar Kelly Rowland, 39, who was quick to brand the singer a “cheat”, with the pair remaining frosty ever since. But an insider has revealed to Woman’s Day the onscreen antics are nothing more than a dramatic ploy by producers, and that Guy’s “controversial move” is just one of many used to create drama on the hit series. BUZZER-GATE IS AN ACT Fans first became suspicious of the producers’ tricks when US Voice coach John Legend debunked “buzzer-gate” on Australian radio last week.…

Just as it was announced Sam would be decreasing her duties, Kochie took some time out to reflect on some “great” memories when he shared the Sunrise desk with former co-host Melissa Doyle, who fronted the show from 2002 to 2013. Taking to Instagram, Kochie posted a series of pictures of himself and Mel, 50. “Those were great days,” he wrote alongside the images. Meanwhile, Sam posted a throwback shot of herself with rival Today host Karl Stefanovic playing golf together in 2014. “Things have been tense between Sam and Kochie since she returned,” says a source. “This Instagram exchange has only sparked more chatter.”…

It’s always difficult to know what to expect when visiting the home of a TV star. But when the doors fly open on the Maestre manor in Sydney, Woman’s Day is delighted to see a giant meat slicer with fresh slices of jamon waiting. In hindsight, it’s probably the one thing we should have expected from a home visit to The Living Room’s resident chef, Miguel Maestre! Outside of the kitchen, if there’s one thing the 40-year-old knows all about, it’s commitment. For 10 years Miguel has been happily married to wife Sascha, 41, and there’s just one word that keeps things ticking for the pair, who share daughter Claudia, nine, and five-year-old son Morgan – honesty. “I keep him very grounded!” admits Sascha, who says she steers clear of…

Love is the word for Jimmy’s dog AMANDA SAYS Jimmy Barnes’ dog Oliver tells me he has passed. This little one was met by several other animals. One was another dog, Snoop Dog, who’d only passed about a year before Oliver. Oliver says Jimmy is the best dad in the world. In every moment of Oliver’s life, he felt an enormous amount of love from him. “Dad is a man of his word, but he does have a ‘don’t push me’ attitude,” Oliver tells me. He says when Jimmy got the news that he was unwell, he stayed right by his side until he grew his angel wings. Oliver and Jimmy shared many special moments. Oliver doesn’t want to share much about his dad’s music. He tells me people already…

Q What’s the best way to reheat a pie? A Pies are best reheated in a slow oven. If you reheat them on too high a temperature, the pastry will burn before the filling heats. It’s always best to thaw a frozen pie before reheating. The microwave oven does not reheat pies successfully, as the pastry becomes soggy. However, you can defrost a frozen pie in the microwave and then gently reheat it in the oven. Email your kitchen questions to womansday@bauer-media.com.au…

With his head down and a sense of urgency in his hurried steps, Prince Harry boarded a private jet out of Los Angeles International Airport on a top secret, early morning flight bound for England’s private Farnborough Airport. It is believed he was alone, leaving his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, and 13-month-old son Archie at their rented mansion in Beverly Hills. While the sighting – first revealed by anonymous royal blog Harry Markle and later spreading across Twitter – remained unconfirmed as Woman’s Day went to press, locals near Windsor Castle tell us there is “movement” at Frogmore Cottage. “You can sort of see it from the street and there are lights on occasionally,” says an exclusive source. “Harry could be in there – or possibly staff.” If the…

As the August release of Finding Freedom – a biography that Prince Harry, 35, and Duchess Meghan, 38, are said to have authorised – draws nearer, fears are mounting over what secrets it will spill. And there are concerns it won’t paint William in a good light. An insider tells Woman’s Day, “William wasn’t the only person who raised concerns that Harry was rushing into marriage with Meghan, but he was certainly the most powerful, and she’s never forgiven him for that. “Meghan didn’t take kindly to accusations that Harry barely knew anything about her, and was especially displeased when William and Kate didn’t roll out the red carpet for her arrival.” The biography, written by Meghan sympathisers, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, claims to have interviewed more than 100…

Friends of Delta Goodrem thought she’d finally found The One when she went public with her musician boyfriend Matthew Copley in 2018.

Matthew’s glum outing has caused speculation the duo have parted ways, following months of lockdown in Delta’s home, especially after she skipped his performance in Sydney on the same day.…

REYNOLD POERNOMO GIRLFRIEND CHELIA Despite most contestants naming Reynold, 26, as their biggest threat in the MasterChef kitchen, the restaurant owner says that as a teenager, nobody was willing to give him a shot. “I realised I wanted to cook when I was 14 years old,” Reynold reveals. “I tried to apply at other restaurants but no one would take me in, so I ended up in MasterChef just to give it a shot.” Thankfully, the Koi Dessert Bar owner says there’s been one person who has never let him down, his girlfriend Chelia. “She always reminds me of the bigger picture when it comes to my career. She encourages my creativity and makes me want to keep creating dishes that would wow her,” tells Reynold. Impressing Chelia is…

A heartbroken Nicole Kidman is reeling after learning of Steve’s death. The pair briefly dated in 2004 after her messy divorce from Tom Cruise and before she met country superstar Keith Urban.

A rep for the actress at the time said, “They are and always have been good friends.”…

A shock new report out of Denmark has accused Prince Frederik’s brother of “cheating the crown” – and it’s left his wife Princess Mary and her family reeling. Se & Hor magazine has labelled Fred’s younger brother Prince Joachim the “cheating prince” who is “laughing all the way to the bank” for staying in Paris, where he’s said to have no royal responsibilities and still enjoying a handsome wage – believed to be $834,000 a year – from the Amalienborg Palace’s purse, which is approved by the nation’s parliament. “Many Danes think this is wrong,” reports the publication. “Out of the next generation, the only one who will be able to receive public funding will be Prince Christian [Mary’s 14-year-old son]… [it is] a bizarre special law that gives money…

DRINK ONLY ON OCCASION Studies show a glass of red wine with dinner may help lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels while simultaneously boosting high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. That’s because red wine is rich in the antioxidant resveratrol, which reduces inflammation in the body caused by oxidised cholesterol. You can also boost your resveratrol levels by eating blueberries and red, purple or black grapes. EAT MORE HEALTHY FATS “Olive oil is a polyunsaturated fat, which provides a natural way of obtaining the cholesterol your body needs to function properly,” says Priceline Pharmacy pharmacist Edward Tanzil. Oily fish, nuts and seeds are smart choices, too. It’s best to avoid eating saturated fats, such as red meat, butter and ghee, because they increase bad cholesterol, known as LDL, and cut back on trans…

MasterChef season two winner Adam Liaw, 41, talks about being one of the familiar faces on new SBS show Life Drawing Live and his connection to art. It’s not your normal kind of gig. Why did you decide to get involved in Life Drawing Live? Honestly, it just seems like a lot of fun. I love art but usually that’s just looking at it. I don’t know if I’ll be any good at actually doing it. Have you ever participated in life drawing before? Never. When I was asked to participate I didn’t even really know what it was. I just thought it was drawing and actually laughed out loud when I found out it was nudes. Would you consider being the model? I am a total prude, so absolutely…

The past few years have been a rollercoaster for the embattled House of York, but the one bright spot on the horizon is the arrival of a new generation. Insiders are speculating that Princess Eugenie, 30, is almost three months pregnant after photos surfaced of her and hubby Jack Brooksbank, 34, leaving a doctor’s surgery in the UK. This comes after bookies in March suspended bets that she was expecting. “If it’s true, the family would be thrilled,” says a source. “Eugenie and Jack were keen to start a family not long after they married, so fingers are crossed for them. “Despite the controversies her parents [Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson] have gotten themselves into, Eugenie is a wonderful young woman and will make an excellent mother.”…

As the only adult future kings in the family, Prince Charles and William have always shared an unshakeable bond. And with his younger son Harry forging his own path, Charles has only found himself growing closer with his eldest. Never was it more evident than on William’s recent 38th birthday, when Charles, 71, posted a sweet picture of himself with his son. “It seems Charles and William used Harry’s absence as a time to build their own relationship,” says a source. “While they love each other dearly, William has held his dad at arm’s length at times. “He was old enough to remember the worst of Charles’ split from his mum, and struggled to forgive him. But with Harry out of the picture, William knows he needs someone who truly…

The 43-year-old Sunrise presenter excitedly took to Instagram last weekend to share a photo of her cosying up to Richard, 60, and showcasing her diamond ring, revealing she helped design it, after Richard chose the stone. “What a year,” she captioned the shot.

It turns out the country’s highest rating reality show isn’t just putting pressure on the cooks! MasterChef judge Andy Allen, 32, was seen out in Sydney last week, appearing very tense as he sat with his new fiancee Alex Davey. One onlooker tells Woman’s Day the couple seemed “on edge” as they waited for their morning coffees. It certainly appears the pair were more interested in scrolling on their phones than talking, WD 23 and at one stage Andy was seen staring off into the distance as his wife-to-be kept her head down. It’s been just seven weeks since Andy announced the couple were heading down the aisle. After dating for four years, the celeb chef revealed he popped the question while he and Alex, 29, holidayed in New Zealand.…

Disgraced TV host Ryan Phelan kept the implosion of his private life a secret from his colleagues at The Daily Edition, but Seven was swift to act when it learned one of its news stars had been charged with domestic violence. Ryan, 45, was charged last week with assaulting his girlfriend of two years, ballet teacher Chelsea Franklin. The alleged violent incident occurred at their $2.6 million Frenchs Forest home, which they bought together last year. One of Ryan’s daughters and Chelsea’s daughter, each from previous relationships, were at home at the time of the incident, which happened just days after Seven announced it was axing The Daily Edition due to savage coronavirus-related budget cuts. ‘I’ve lost my lover, I’ve lost my boyfriend – I love him’ Chelsea, 44, later…

When Big Brother’s most genetically blessed housemates, Chad Hurst and Sophie Budack, turned their flirtatious conversation into a steamy midnight kiss in bed, fans couldn't have been more excited. However, Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal their romance has all been set up from day one, with producers sneakily orchestrating their affair from their seats in the editing room. “Producers were desperate for a love story,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “It was something they knew the show very much needed.” The source says both Chad, 27, and Sophie, 25, feel producers are “cherry picking” their loved-up scenes to make it look like a romance, but they both knew it was all fake and was just part of a strategic move to keep them in the game. “Sophie is very competitive…

Dead Still MONDAY, ACORN TV This dark Victorian-era mystery series sees Brock Blennerhasset (Michael Smiley) create portraits of dead people before they’re buried. His quirky profession is a relatively new one, considering it’s the 1880s and how new photography was at the time, and so many people in his community think it’s... totally weird!
