Touching down on home soil after what has been one of Australia’s longest-running dramas, Schapelle Corby should be full of joy, but it’s a bittersweet return for the woman who, during my time as editor-in-chief, has been the subject of countless cover stories. We’ve heard from her mum Rosleigh Rose, her sister Mercedes and various friends, fellow prisoners and hangers-on over the years, but the person who knows Schapelle better than anyone else in the world, her boyfriend Ben, has remained faithfully silent. This week, we reveal the depth of the couple’s love, their despair at being torn apart and their plans to start a family. It seems the Schapelle Corby story has many more chapters ahead……

When the sister of a royal marries a millionaire, only the finest will do. And so it was when Pippa Middleton tied the knot with hedge fund manager James Matthews last week in an event that exuded romance and luxury. From the beautiful 13th century country church to the evening reception in a sweeping $170,000 glass marquee imported from Belgium, this was never going to be an ordinary wedding. Pippa, who looked like a princess in her own right, wore a $70,000 gown designed by Giles Deacon. With a lace bodice and full skirt, it was reminiscent of her sister Kate’s gown at her wedding to Prince William in 2011. She also wore a delicate “Maidenhair Fern” tiara and the same pearl earrings she wore at Kate’s wedding, both by…
While the world’s eyes were on the English countryside as Pippa and James exchanged vows, insiders reveal drama was unfolding behind the scenes. The bride and groom looked elegant and thrilled by the day’s events but photos of Prince George crying – and his mother Kate scolding him – made it clear his high-profile role as one of eight pint-sized attendants did not go as perfectly as hoped. Some reports claimed Kate told George off after he stepped on his aunt’s $70,000 wedding dress, but Woman’s Day can reveal his tears were part of a big royal meltdown! A source close to royal nanny Maria Borrallo says George’s tantrum was partly caused by hunger. “He was fed before the event but he has a big appetite and really wanted something…
‘If Schapelle is pregnant, we would all be over the moon ’ Schapelle Corby returned home to Australia with a broken heart after farewelling the love of her life last week, but Woman’s Day can reveal the couple have a secret plan to be together again. “Schapelle is very much in love with her Balinese boyfriend Ben [Panangian]. She wanted to remain with him in Bali,” an Indonesian friend from the 39-year-old’s small, close-knit group confides exclusively to Woman’s Day. “They were desperately trying to get pregnant before she left – that way she’d have an Indonesian baby and it would make her path back to seeing Ben a whole lot easier. “I wouldn’t be surprised if Schapelle is already pregnant – we’ve all been expecting the news by now,”…
‘I thought there was a connection between you and Tom’ Blushing Sam Armytage couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she sat down to interview Tom Cruise on Sunrise last week – prompting rumours there was something more going on between the pair than just a chat for the cameras. The flushed TV presenter giggled as Tom – who was in Australia to promote The Mummy – described himself as “romantic”. He went on to admit he’d happily serenade a woman in a bar – just like his character Lt Pete “Maverick” Mitchell does in Top Gun – if it meant being able to win her heart. While Sam couldn’t help but swoon, her co-star David “Kochie” Koch was quick to point out the pair’s chemistry. “I thought there…
