Possibly like most people, I ate way too much over Christmas and New Year. My husband and I went away for Christmas and spent our days drinking cocktails and eating enormous hotel buffet breakfasts complete with French toast and waffles, always intending to swim off the calories, but always falling asleep by the pool instead. I’m not complaining – it was lovely – but now’s the time for my New Year’s resolutions to kick in. I’ve been up and at it every day, walking and swimming in an attempt to lose that spare tyre… So it was with great interest that I read our Cracker Test (p54). It’s the new diet phenomenon that will have you rethinking how you eat: you chew a cracker (without the cheese, sorry!) and time…

It’s not just Sunrise that’s lagging: The Morning Show is under pressure from Today Extra and Studio Ten, and it isn’t helping hosts Larry Edmur and Kylie Gillies’ relationship. “It’s no secret Larry and Kylie don’t really like each other,” tells our Seven spy. “The atmosphere on set has got so bad staff are leaving, and producers are planning to put a third host on three days a week.” Insiders say tension over the difference in their pay packets was initially to blame for their frosty relations – but Kylie, 49, is also bitter about 52-year-old Larry’s popularity. “Larry is a real sweetheart and everyone loves him, Kylie feels like she has a much smaller profile, despite being his co-star,” our spy spills.…

Wearing a loose tunic over a noticeable bump, the normally svelte Amal Clooney let her outfit do the talking at a Netflix screening last week. As she cuddled up to husband George, 55, it was clear human rights lawyer Amal, 38, has a big secret – and according to sources, the couple are expecting twins. The White Helmets screening was the first time the pair had been seen together in public since October. Sources say they’d intentionally been keeping a low profile while Amal was in the higher-risk first trimester – but now they’re ready to reveal their thrilling news. An insider says Amal wants her children to have the same upbringing she enjoyed in the UK. The couple currently split their time between Hollywood and the English countryside, but…

With his passion for fast cars and several brushes with the law, Aussie tennis champ Bernard Tomic, 24, has courted a lot of controversy. But that’s changed since he started courting beautiful Melbourne model Emma Blake-Hahnel! The former brat seems to have swapped late-night parties for more sedate outings to places such as the Sydney Aquarium with his new girlfriend, who friends say has helped the fiery star calm down since they began dating nine months ago. “Obviously, we are just a bit crazy,” Bernard says of himself and fellow wild child Nick Kyrgios. “Sometimes we do lose it. But we have to remain mentally strong and focused on the main thing, which is playing tennis, doing well and trying to achieve our target.” Bernard’s “crazy” antics include being arrested…

‘I said: “If you change your mind, you know where I am.” We’ve been together ever since’ In 1977, Ron Wilson sold everything he owned to buy a plane ticket, flying from Sydney to London to confess his undying love to his friend, now wife, Helen. “She wasn’t really interested – she had a boyfriend and they were planning to travel around Europe together,” recalls the legendary Ten newsreader, who made his romantic gesture two months after meeting Helen. “We were at a coffee shop and she was doing her best to let me down gently. So I presented her with this long letter on the back of a serviette and left it there. I said, ‘If you change your mind you know where I am’. And we’ve been together…

Feel like you pretty much put on weight as soon as you look at a carb? According to new research by genetic scientist Dr Sharon Moalem, some people can eat as much bread, pasta and rice as they like without it affecting their weight, while others find it hard to stay slim without restricting them. Now a simple but groundbreaking test can help you determine how well your body processes carbs and how much you can eat without compromising your waistline. Even better, the test is so simple, you can do it at home – just grab a packet of crackers and let’s get started... STEP 1: TAKE THE CRACKER TEST Chew an unsalted cracker and count how long it takes for its taste to change from bland to sweet.…

JANUARY Ladies, listen up! Take inspiration from Aussie actress Rose Byrne and introduce some warm tones to your hair. For the most natural-looking finish, ask your hairdresser for “sombre” rather than balayage, where “babylights” are added through the lengths of your locks. So rather than a block of colour, you’ll achieve a more blended, sophisticated finish. FEBRUARY By Feb, you’ve been so busy you’ve probably forgotten to give your hair some TLC, so take advice from Jen Atkin, hairstylist to the Kardashians. “Most stars spend their days off allowing their hair to soak up a mask. If you’re short on time, apply OUAI Treatment Masque $22 to your strands pre-workout and plait it to let the nourishing ingredients absorb in with the added heat from your exercise.” MARCH Amy Adams…

AMANDA SAYS Hendric tells me he’s still living, and steps back to let through a cat who has passed over. She tells me her name was Mia and she belonged to Brooke until she was stolen at about seven years old. She was a pretty Siamese cat and she loved to play in the bush near home, but the neighbours a few doors up stole her. Mia lived until she was about 14 and never forgot Brooke. Hendric is very protective of Brooke, questioning who I am and what I want. After he feels comfortable and realises I’m not a threat, he tells me he’s naughty with his food and will turn his nose up until he gets what he likes. He’s a big rescue dog and Brooke wasn’t planning…

Horsing around! Zara and Mike Tindall escaped the British winter to enjoy the polo in the Aussie sun. It was the Queen’s granddaughter’s first public outing since her miscarriage in December, but she was happy to get back on the field, and even took a tumble. “She’s tough,” said Mike, “she bounces.” Kids think she’s ace! Venus Williams had some fun with the ballkids at the Australian Open. She offered some sage words of advice, saying, “For me, my biggest failures made me a champion.” What a cutie!

‘He went off to school bravely as anything and thoroughly enjoyed it’ When Prince George walks through the gates of London’s Wetherby School this year for the first time, he’ll be following in his father’s footsteps. The posh school in London’s Notting Hill is the same one William attended, and photographs of the then four-year-old prince hand-in-hand with his mother Princess Diana on his first day are still treasured by royal watchers. When George, three, attended a Christmas service last month wearing a double-breasted overcoat, observers drew parallels with the young Prince William wearing his similar-looking school uniform back in 1987. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have all but confirmed they’ll send George to Wetherby, near Kensington Palace – royal insiders say it is the favoured option for the…

French foodie Manu Feildel blames his fiancee Clarissa Weerasena’s parents for the extra kilos he’s carrying, after their annual summer break in her childhood home of Malaysia. “They cook for me four or five times a day – they show me love by feeding me!” Manu tells Woman’s Day exclusively. “I like about 25,000 dishes they cook,” he adds, admitting he always returns from his January holiday happy, but with a bigger belly than he he’d like. The couple caught up with Clarissa’s family in Kuala Lumpur for 10 days before leaving 23-month-old daughter Charlee with her besotted grandparents, so they could steal away to enjoy some baby-free time in Penang and Langkawi. “We spent three days doing nothing but relaxing,” explains Manu, who laughed at his attempt to master…

‘Michael was a quiet, dignified man … terribly, cruelly wronged’ After the loss of their little girl Azaria and the three decades of public vilification that followed, it seemed impossible the Chamberlain family could survive any more tragedy. Yet last week they suffered another blow, when patriarch Michael died due to complications from leukaemia. Two-month-old Azaria was taken by a dingo while sleeping in the family’s tent at Uluru in 1980. Police accused her mother Lindy of murder, and her father Michael of helping to cover up the crime. Then, in what would become one of the most famous miscarriages of justice in the world, Lindy was convicted and jailed for her murder. It took 32 years to have their innocence publicly acknowledged. But Azaria’s death was just the beginning…

Nicole’s bizarre night OUT OF CONTROL! Raising eyebrows with her loose behaviour at last week’s Golden Globe Awards in LA was the usually ultra-composed Nicole Kidman, leaving some observers wondering whether she’d had a few too many pre-show wines! She interrupted 35-year-old actor Tom Hiddleston during a red carpet interview, gushing, “Sorry to crash! I’m so happy to be here and I’m determined to have fun – that’s why I came here and did that…” Later on, during an afterparty, Woman’s Day sources claim Nic, 49, avoided the bar at all costs, and was even seen putting up her hand to shoo away a cocktail waitress who approached her. But it seems she was peckish, constantly ushering over caterers carrying fresh pizza – as husband Keith Urban, 49,…

Miranda & Evan Aussie Miranda Kerr has already confirmed that her wedding to Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel, 26, will take place this year – and with her groom worth a staggering $2.8billion, we’re expecting it to be a pretty lavish affair. “I can’t wait,” says Miranda, who was previously married to Orlando Bloom. The proposal, in July last year, came as a surprise to the 33-year-old model. Asked whether she knew it was coming, she said, “Absolutely not. He said to me, ‘Miranda, I’m telling you now, this is the first and last time I’m going to kneel down in front of you.’” Kylie & Joshua The Aussie songstress hopes to marry British actor Joshua Sasse, 29, this year, but says she’ll only do so once same-sex marriage has been…

Ever watched an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and noticed Kim and co order the exact same lunch every day? Eating food on repeat isn’t just for pampered celebs or those lacking in lunch inspiration – it’s actually a great way to slim down. Mono-lunching or “habituation” as it’s also known, can help you eat less, say the experts. A US study found people who ate the same meal every day took in fewer kilojoules per week than those who ate different foods. “Your palate craves interest, so if you remove variety, there’s no reason to keep eating after you’re full,” says nutritionist Amanda Ursell. “Our primal ancestors only ate one type of food as it came into season.” Think it could work for you? Take the A-listers’…
