I’ve been writing stories about Australia’s most interesting people for more than 20 years. About colourful characters with stories that are heartbreaking or inspiring. Some tragic, others joyful. Schapelle Corby’s story is all of these things. She is arguably one of the nation’s most intriguing women, but despite countless articles, books, a movie even, she has remained a mystery, until now. I recently spent a lot of time getting to know Schapelle, a woman my age, but with a history worlds apart. So, what’s she really like? From what she’s watching on TV to her deepest fears, regrets and hopes for the future, you can read on page 14 what it’s like to be a woman who, rightly or wrongly, has gone to hell and back and, in her own…

He’s captured Meghan Markle’s rise to fame through his camera lens over the years, watching her transform from a little-known TV actress living in Canada to the most talked-about woman in the world. Now Meghan’s photographer friend George Pimentel, who has been close to her for the past seven years, opens up to Woman’s Day about how she’s going with the planning of her big day, just 10 weeks before she marries Prince Harry. “She’s getting on great with the wedding planning,” says George. “She’s been really involved with every aspect of it, and she wants to ensure every detail is perfect. “I know she’s promised all her old friends from Canada that they’ll have a part in the big day, and I’m told she’s already picked the flower girl,…

From the moment they laid eyes on one another at the altar Sarah and Telv have been one of the standout couples of Married At First Sight, but now Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal Australia’s new favourite reality TV couple are all but over after a heated argument spiralled out of control. Making matters even worse, the news comes as photographs of Perth local Telv snorting a white powder off a stripper’s bare bottom have surfaced. While Woman’s Day can’t confirm exactly what the powder was, it leaves some to question if the father-of-two is as clean-cut as he’s been portrayed to be. Despite fronting the media and putting on a brave face in recent weeks, sources close to Sarah and Telv say a heated disagreement about their living arrangements…

‘You know, I don’t really want to be here’ If it isn’t Roula and Rachael locking horns with Jess and Emma, it’s Olga and Valeria taking on judge Manu Feildel at the instant restaurant dinner table. But after nine years on My Kitchen Rules, it seems the passionate chef may be finding the show’s fireworks too much to bear – and sources say he’s ready to hang up his apron! “It’s not just the contestants who are treated like puppets, Manu is seriously fed up of being made to jump through hoops by producers trying to create drama,” an on-set insider spills. “The judges are the last to know when it comes to their dirty tricks, and this year it’s been worse than ever.” Indeed, later on in the show…

‘He talks about Ed like he is part of the family’ With his flaming ginger hair and spot-on vocals, you would be forgiven for thinking Josh Cooper is related to British singing sensation Ed Sheeran. But it turns out, he’s just his littlest biggest fan! Since watching the singer perform his single Perfect on TV last year, three-year-old Josh has learned almost every word to all of his songs. “He talks about Ed like he is part of the family,” mum Sheri, 32, tells Woman’s Day. “When he noticed that Ed also has red hair, he developed a connection with him, and now looks up to him as his role model. Josh always wants to wear the same kind of clothes and shoes as Ed, too.” The pint-sized popstar spent…

This helps to slightly melt the gloss from the sides of the tube so you can reach it.” 2 “If you find your hairpins and clips slip out of your hair easily – especially on short, fine locks – spritz them with hairspray for added grip.” 3 “For lips to look more rounded, and ultimately plumper, line them with a lipliner from the corners of your mouth up towards the cupid’s bow.” 4 “With an abundance of pink lipsticks to choose from, for the absolute perfect hue for you, match the colour to your gums.”…

Tip1 INCORPORATE WATER INTO YOUR DAY Drinking water and brain function are closely linked, says neuroscientist Dr Sarah McKay (pictured). “You can increase your water intake at work by incorporating it with other actions like walking to the printer, going to a meeting, or completing a task.” Tip 2 TRACK IT “There are numerous apps and stylish water bottles available these days that allow you to track your water intake against time-oriented goals – this will keep you accountable and drinking water throughout the day.” Tip 3 ADD BUBBLES “Make tap water more exciting by carbonating it using a SodaStream and adding fruit and herbs for a zesty twist,” says Dr McKay. One-third of people studied were more likely to stay hydrated with easy, affordable access to sparkling water. Tip…

1 Don’t just be on time, be early! We often underestimate the time it takes to fill out paperwork and prepare for the treatment in the changing rooms. Arriving late eats into your treatment time, as therapists must stay on schedule and generally will not run over. Be early for another great reason: more and more spas now have special welcome rituals, arrival elixirs and pre-treatment treats. 2 Ask about the facilities Is there a pool? Steam? Sauna? Your time at the spa is not just about the treatment. The spa environment should be a place where you want to relax and enjoy yourself, so why not make a day of it! 3 Try something new We all love a standard massage but stretch your spa wings and give something…

BIG DAY TOUCHES Meghan and Harry are said to be writing “heartfelt declarations” to each other, which will be embroidered onto strips of silk and hidden into the seams of her wedding dress and his jacket. Forget Mr and Mrs – it’s believed Harry and Meghan’s bridal parties have arranged bathrobes with “Duke” and “Duchess” of Sussex emblazoned on the back, as speculation mounts these will be their titles once they’ve wed.

‘I had my heart very badly broken by Ken’ Any Love Actually fan knows the scene well – Emma Thompson’s character opens an underwhelming Christmas gift of a CD from her husband, realises that the expensive necklace she sneakily found earlier is for his mistress, then bursts into tears. And now the British actress has revealed she barely had to act at all for that memorable scene in the 2003 film, but merely drew on her own heartbreak from almost a decade earlier – when her first husband, Kenneth Branagh, had an affair and left her for Helena Bonham Carter. “That scene where my character is standing by the bed crying is so well known because it’s something everyone’s been through,” Emma, 58, said last week. “I had my heart…

‘There’s no denying things have changed drastically’ Ever since she landed the role of the Queen on hit show The Crown, Claire Foy’s career has skyrocketed. But the British actress’ personal life is in tatters after her shock split from her husband of three years, Stephen Campbell Moore. The couple revealed they had been separated “for some time”, but insiders tell Woman’s Day that it could be a case of life imitating art for Claire, 33. Just as her character on The Crown deals with infidelity, friends wonder if her husband’s relationship with co-star Sophie Cookson could have contributed to his marriage breakdown. “There have been whispers about Stephen’s wandering eye,” says a source. Stephen, 40, and Sophie, 27, star in spy film Red Joan, and UK reports claim the…

We all start the year with the best intentions to lose weight and get fit, but few of us stick with it. Determined to change this trend, fitness expert and former NRL player Ben Lucas shares his top three tips to stay motivated. TRACK IT Tracking your workouts creates a sense of “gamification”, where you’re competing against yourself to make sure you show up. Tracking also allows you to see your progress and results. Try a gadget like a Fitbit, and the apps that track your measurements, diet and completed exercise. HAVE A WINGMAN Working out can also double as a social experience, so bring a friend along for the ride. Also, having a friend who actually shows up will help you be more accountable and motivated.

‘Why I am so cunning… why you make me bad’ The future of killer lovers Sofia Sam and Arun Kamalasanan has been decided by a jury, who found they murdered her husband so they could be together. The 33-year-old mother-of-one and Kamalasanan, 35, both pleaded not guilty to murdering her husband, Sam Abraham, in Victoria’s Supreme Court late last month.

EMBRACE THE SUNSHINE Sunlight keeps you awake and alert – that is, productive! As the sun starts to set we naturally get more tired and productivity reduces, hence the 3.30pm slump. Position your workspace where you can get exposure to vitamin D. TEMPERATURE CONTROL Research has found temperatures between 20-25°C are ideal, but anything over or under will lower productivity and increase errors. ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS It’s easy to get distracted by the TV, pets, neighbourhood noise or endless housework, but try wearing noise-cancelling headphones and putting on calming, mindful music. MINIMISE GADGETS Choose devices with maximum functions – a smartphone (which also acts as a clock and calendar), a laptop and a working internet connection is all you should need. Two computer screens will also reduce time spent flicking between…
