I think it was when I accidentally sewed the pyjama shorts I was making to the middle of the top in Year 8 textiles that I accepted my sewing skills were, let’s be honest, appalling! And I came to recognise that knitting wasn’t my forte either when, years later, my friend Anna came over one night for my first lesson – and never returned. Thankfully, our generous Woman’s Day readers are far more talented than me, and when we joined a call-out for Aussies to knit jumpers for freezing lambs affected by the drought last year, we were overwhelmed by your response. This week (p36) we meet the woman behind the incredible campaign, who has now received an astonishing 60,000 jumpers from kind-hearted knitters around the country, and who truly…

Ben Affleck has hired a sexy private chef to whip him up healthy meals, after telling friends he’s going vegan, Woman’s Day can reveal. The Justice League star, 46, who has been hitting the gym hard after his split from producer Lindsay Shookus, has had blonde foodie Gabrielle Coniglio over at his LA mansion to cook for him and his celebrity friends. Neighbours recently saw Gabrielle carrying groceries to Ben’s luxury home in Brentwood. The actor was reportedly spending the afternoon with his long-time friend Matt Damon, who lives nearby. “Ben’s been telling friends he wants a complete diet overhaul, and was using a food delivery service before meeting Gabrielle through an agency,” a source says. “She’s been stocking up his fridge, and they’ve discussed a regular meal plan with…

After Diana Rouvas’ big win at The Voice grand final last week, the coaches and contestants headed out to Sydney’s Entertainment Quarter for the show’s lavish official afterparty. But it appears Diana wasn’t the only one who was ready to let her hair down! Host Sonia Kruger, 53, was snapped leaving the event early on Monday morning looking a little weary, and was seen being helped into a car by two female chaperones. Fans of the popular TV host were quick to point out her noticeable absence from Today Extra that morning, with her co-host David Campbell instead accompanied by Today’s entertainment reporter Brooke Boney. But while you couldn’t blame Sonia for letting loose and celebrating The Voice’s successful season, a Nine spokesperson insisted it was “not out of the…

Not even a date night with her hunky husband could help Victoria Beckham muster up a smile, with the fashion designer looking like a woman scorned at a Barbra Streisand show on July 7. Despite having just celebrated her 20th wedding anniversary with David with a romantic getaway to Paris, Posh, 45, appeared less than impressed with her 44-year-old husband before and during the concert in London’s Hyde Park. “She actually looked like she was almost crying when they arrived,” says the source. “David was on the receiving end of some very angry looks from her, so who knows what she was cross about.” Victoria’s seemingly dark mood was in stark contrast to the happy snaps she posted on Instagram just days earlier, as she recounted the couple’s private tour…

It was the moment royal fans have been eagerly waiting for – adorable snaps of baby Archie on his first day out with his royal cousins. And their appearance at a charity polo match in England late last week didn’t disappoint, with the gorgeous two-month-old, who so resembles his dad, Prince Harry, ensconced in his mother’s arms while cheeky cousins Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, four, and an energetic one-year-old Prince Louis looked on. But while the Cambridge and Sussex children appeared to be having the time of their lives, the same couldn’t be said for their mothers, Kate and Meghan, both 37. In fact, a well-placed source tells Woman’s Day that the joint appearance of the two duchesses was enforced by the palace as a way to rebuff all…

KATRINA ‘Ninja has nothing on raising three boys’ As mum to Levi, 13, Finn, 10 and Stipe, one, registered nurse Katrina, 37, admits finding the time to train was a challenge. “Preparations were limited,” she says. “I have three kids, and one was eight months at the time [of competing].” But with a climbing background, she had good base level strength – a definite advantage. “I also went to [Ninja gym] SA Base Camp a handful of times,” she says. “I added a climbing rope to our training gear at home and spent as much time as I could getting in some extra climbing-specific training, like pull-ups.” TRUDIE ‘My kids dared me to audition!’ Aqua aerobics instructor Trudie, 40, entered the competition after being dared by her two boys, Billy,…

A former high-ranked Scientologist has been moved to speak out after seeing Nicole Kidman’s estranged daughter Bella Cruise being used as a “poster girl” for the controversial church. In a candid new interview, which is sure to chill Nicole, 52, to the core, Sam Domingo, who was a Scientologist for 22 years, reveals how her children used to play with Bella, now 26, and Connor, 24, at the LA Scientology Celebrity Center. Sam, who was married to Spanish singer Placido Domingo’s son, claims after their dad Tom Cruise divorced Nicole in 2001, a young Bella and Connor were forced into an isolated “boot camp” experience and were “indoctrinated to hate” their adoptive mother. “I know what techniques they used… the second-in-command at the time was so tough on them, the…

Did a confessed serial killer murder Sara-Lee? When navy veteran Richard Dorrough killed himself, he left a suicide letter that came tantalisingly close to solving an enduring murder mystery. Before his death, Dorrough, 37, had mailed his partner a parcel containing his computer, phone and an exercise book with the note that read: “I did kill three times… it’s the hardest thing to live with.” Could it be that Dorrough  was a man who’d got away with murder? In 1997 he’d been questioned about the disappearance of 21-year-old Sara-Lee Davey, who he met on a night out in Port Broome, WA, in January while he was on shore leave. The pair took a taxi to Dorrough’s ship, HMAS Geelong, where he tried to bring Sara-Lee on board. Stopped by a…

STEP BY STEP Step 1 Measure the panels where your wallpaper will go, jotting down the measurements so you don’t forget! Next, sandpaper each of the panels, then wipe them down thoroughly to remove the dust. Step 2 Mark out your panel measurements on the paper, then cut along the lines using a craft knife and ruler to create a template. Repeat the process until you have a template for each panel. Step 3 Tape each template into the corresponding panel. Assess whether alterations need to be made. If they do, re-cut or add to the templates accordingly.

Bella tells Angela she understood why she had to put her down and she will always love her. Bella shows me she fought hard from an illness that first occurred about four years ago, with her back legs giving her so much trouble.

Bella is very relaxed and goes with the flow, whereas Lilly seems very vocal. ANGELA SAYS I reached out to Amanda because I was missing Bella and Lilly terribly and wanted to see if they were…

A shock report has rocked Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, just as she was re-establishing herself with the royal family. It’s been recently revealed that Fergie was detained and thrown into a police car outside of Buckingham Palace. The decidedly unroyal behaviour has been documented by a leading royal biographer, who claims the duchess, 59, was not alone during her run-in with the law, and was joined by none other than Princess Diana. The alleged incident, which happened on the night of Fergie’s hens party before she married Prince Andrew in 1986, started out as a prank, but turned sour when the mischievous royals took their joke too far. ‘She’s got this familiar feeling of shame creeping back in’ Sarah Bradford, also known as Viscountess Bangor, revealed, “There was always…

They’ve spent a glorious European summer at their Lake Como mansion, but George and Amal Clooney’s idyllic holiday has been ruined by shocking claims that he could have fathered a love child with his ex before he started dating Amal. According to an insider, the human rights lawyer was left reeling after finding out there’s been questions over whether George could have been the father of his ex Stacy Keibler’s daughter Ava, who turns five in August. HUNG UP ON GEORGE “George and Stacy still have a few mutual friends, and Amal caught wind through them that several people had made comments about how much Ava looked like George at certain angles,” says the source. George and retired wrestler Stacy split in July 2013 after two years together, with an…

She makes millions laugh on her Hit Network radio show, but privately Kate Langbroek has endured the heartbreaking ordeal of nursing her young son through a four-year-battle with leukaemia, not knowing whether he would survive. Fortunately her eldest son, Lewis, not only beat the killer disease but has thrived to become a “healthy and beautiful” teenager, with Kate just last month celebrating “all the miracles” that kept her 15-year-old son alive. And it was the horror of almost being robbed of her boy that inspired Kate, 53, and her husband, engineer Peter Lewis, to pack up their lives in Melbourne and move their four children to Italy earlier this year. “There seemed something really life-affirming about having an adventure together as a family,” a relaxed Kate revealed from her new…

PRETTY PARCHED Hair is its driest in cold weather. Wind strips oil and moisture, leaving locks dehydrated and brittle, which can cause damage and split ends. Stick to your routine of conditioner and a hydrating mask every week, but think about swapping your everyday products for more nourishing versions. Instead of dry shampoo, which will soak up any moisture you have left, try dry conditioner – it’ll refresh and rehydrate – then swap regular in-shower treatments for an overnight one to give you hours of intense mending while you sleep.

Having struggled with her weight for years, Drew Barrymore finally found her holy grail in Emsculpt. “My problem was that no matter how hard I dieted or exercised, after having two kids – and my genetic predisposition – I was never losing weight,” she says. “[Emsculpt] was a game-changer. I’ve been able to build my core and it’s completely changing my life.” Drew knows it isn’t a substitute for a healthy lifestyle though. “You do have to maintain a workout routine, it’s not a magic wand,” she adds.…

PERFORM AT YOUR JOB It goes without saying that it’s essential to develop a consistent reputation in delivering whatever is in your job description, and doing it well, almost from the get-go. WORK LONGER HOURS It’s a reality for most workplaces and still often a prerequisite for making it through the first three months and beyond. Your willingness profoundly impacts your manager’s perception. HELP YOUR MANAGER LOOK GOOD The best way to do this is to perform at your job. Only speak favourably about your manager to colleagues. If you’re helpful and help them look good, they’ll be motivated to support you. GO THE EXTRA MILE Continually look for ways to over-deliver. You might consider offering to take on additional responsibilities and duties, such as working back on a presentation…

Survivors ready? You’d better be, because Australian Survivor: Champions V Contenders is back for its second instalment – and host Jonathan LaPaglia tells Woman’s Day we’re in for a wild ride. The 49-year-old actor opens up about the gruelling production and reveals what it’s been like working on other projects, including a gig alongside Hollywood heavyweight Matt Damon. What do you feel is the one non-negotiable trait you need to have to be a key competitor on Survivor? It takes many skills to navigate your way through Survivor. However, the  one trait I feel is key to a great game is being a risk taker. All the strategy in the world is useless if you don’t have the gumption to execute it!

Katy Perry could not have looked more relaxed and happy as she enjoyed a sun-soaked beach getaway with fiance Orlando Bloom. But while onlookers were excited to find the famous couple holidaying on the French island of Ile de Re, there was something else that soon caught their eye – Katy’s rounded stomach! And when Woman’s Day reached out to sources close to Katy and Orly, it turns out the same pregnancy whispers are going around their inner circle, too. “Word is that Katy and Orlando have been trying for their first child. If she is pregnant, they must be busting to let everyone know,” says the insider. “You can bet that when Katy reaches the three-month stage, they’ll make an amazing, quirky announcement.” Although Orlando, 42, is already a…

As rumours swirl that there are problems in their marriage, Liam Hemsworth has removed his wedding ring, just days after wife Miley Cyrus’ Glastonbury announcement that she’s “f *** ing sick of men”. The Aussie hunk, 29, was spotted looking glum – and his ring finger noticeably bare – while on a coffee run in LA last week. Now sources tell Woman’s Day there’s trouble in paradise for Liam and Miley, 26, who only tied the knot in December last year. “Liam feels like Miley is going off the rails again, and he just doesn’t like being around her when she’s like that,” says the insider, noting that the singer’s wild child persona was believed to be the cause of their split in 2013. “He says he needs time to…

It’s been a fixture on Australian TV screens for 31 years, but last week loyal Home And Away fans were in shock over worrying rumours that the show was getting the axe. According to several reports, a consistent decline in viewership has caused concern for Seven, who are said to be exploring the option of demoting the popular soap to a later timeslot – or a different channel on the network entirely. While the show has always been a primetime winner, fans of Summer Bay are believed to have decreased significantly since 2017, leading TV bosses to weigh up the option of bringing Today Tonight back to compete with news shows like The Project and A Current Affair that have people switching on at 7pm. ‘We are not going anywhere.…

JEN HAWKINS The former Miss Universe Australia’s ever-growing property portfolio began in 2005, when she became a spokesperson for a new development in Hong Kong. Since then, Jen, 35, and her builder husband Jake Wall have built a multimillion-dollar empire, and live in a $6 million mansion in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. LARRY EMDUR The Morning Show host could moonlight as a real estate agent, as his property investments have been so successful. The 54-year-old has owned three units around Sydney’s lucrative Bondi Beach for years, which earn him a handsome rental income, and in 2017 he sold his Dover Heights mansion for $11.5 million to his accountant friend Anthony Bell. And it seems Larry’s son Jye inherited his knack for smart property buys, making the move from runway model to…

PERFECT PROPORTIONS Billowy upper layers are best complimented by wider leg pants to add balance. If the look is too shapeless, nip in with a waist belt or add a third matching or contrasting piece (worn tucked or loose), and wear the layering piece open as a jacket. MONOCHROMATIC MARVELS Wearing the same shade uninterrupted top to toe helps to elongate the silhouette, so you appear taller and slimmer. If your lower body is larger, draw the eye up towards the face with the addition of a statement necklace or earrings. CINCH IN THE WAISTLINE If the column effect of this trend is too straight up and down for your liking, opt for belted styles and pair with slightly slimmer legged pants. For an alternative effect, wear boxy dresses over…

According to GP Dr Dan O’Neill, “varicose veins are simply veins that have become twisted and swollen”. So how does that happen? Do they hurt? How do we prevent them? Let’s find out... HOW DO VARICOSE VEINS FORM? Varicose veins (VVs) form when the blood in a vein “backs up” and pools, causing part of the vein to expand. “Our heart pushes blood to our organs through arteries, but it’s our nifty veins that have to work against gravity to bring that blood back to the heart,” Dr O’Neill explains. “They do this by using special one-way valves. As your muscles contract, when walking for example, they squeeze blood in the veins towards the heart. The blood passes upwards through the one-way valves, but is prevented from flowing back down.…

It’s the hosts who’ll be in the kitchen cooking up a storm in MasterChef this week! Three judges – Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Curtis Stone – are donning the MasterChef aprons and taking part in a competitive cook-off... between one another! And you better believe it’s going to get heated. “It was fun,” says Curtis, 43, who is speaking to Woman’s Day during a brief trip back to Australia from his adopted LA home. “All three of us have that same competitive nature – we have somehow turned cooking into a sport!” Curtis is back in Australia without his wife of six  years, Lindsay Price, and two kids, Hudson, seven, and Emerson, four. Lindsay had work commitments, and both his children are in school. So, after all these years,…
