With half of my family living over in Dublin, it’s become a source of great competition among my siblings to be the biggest bargain hunter for cheap airline deals. My brother Sean is stealth-like in his hunt for a good deal, which has made him the reigning champion for several years.

This week, on page 62, we bring you the best earlybird deals for a fraction of the price. Plus, the experts share all their insider tips. How does a summer in London sound for just $672?! Sounds to me like it’s time to take off!…

Purple Wiggle Lachlan Gillespie has reportedly found love again, after splitting with wife and Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins last year. Lachy and Dana Stephensen, a senior artist at the Australian Ballet, were first pictured together on the set of the children’s TV show in December, just four months after he and Emma announced their split. At the time, Lachy, 33, couldn’t contain his excitement about working with Dana, also 33. “It is the greatest experience to watch the dancers do their thing,” he said in behind-the-scenes footage. “What I love is that we get the beautiful, and technical, strength of the ballet mixed in with the fun of The Wiggles.” Emma, 29, was also quick to sing Dana’s praises at the time, saying it “was a dream come true” to…

While the Home And Away actress has wasted no time in moving on from ex-fiance Tyson Mullane, she has found herself snagged in the middle of the world’s most expensive divorce! The 35-year-old is said to be dating Hollywood talent boss Patrick Whitesell, who was recently dumped by his wife Lauren Sanchez for the richest man in the world – Amazon boss Jeff Bezos. Lovebirds Pia and Patrick holidayed in Paris in June and recently took a private jet to Italy. Patrick’s ex Lauren filed for divorce in April after it was revealed she had been having an affair with Jeff – who is estimated to be worth $131 billion.…

William has made no bones about the fact he’s inherited the male baldness gene from the Windsor side of the family, so when he sees a new coin of his likeness issued by the Royal Mint, he’s sure to get a shock. According to the Mail On Sunday, the minutes of a recent meeting at Buckingham Palace show the decision was made to fluff up the heir to the throne’s famous bald patch. It’s a decent promotion for a man who once dourly told a hairstylist: “I don’t have much hair. I can’t give you much business!”…

Leave it to cheeky Princess Charlotte to have no nerves whatsoever on her first day of kindergarten! According to insiders, the four-year-old was “very excited” “ to join her big brother Prince George at Thomas’s Battersea in London this week – though it helps when the future King of England is protecting you in the playground. According to our insider, little Charlotte – who is known to be bubbly, confident and a natural-born leader – has been “buzzing” about going to “big-kid school” for months. “She’s had her bag packed for weeks now,” reveals the source. “Prince George has been told to look after her, but within weeks it’ll probably be the other way around!”…

Katie Holmes’ on-again, off-again romance with Jamie Foxx is done and dusted after six years together, but she’s found a handsome shoulder to cry on much closer to home – her Ray Donovan co-star Liev Schreiber! In the wake of her split from Jamie, 51, who has been partying with a bevy of beautiful women since becoming single, the buzz is that Katie, 40, has been quietly reconnecting with single dad Liev. INSTANT CONNECTION “They had great chemistry on Ray Donovan and everybody could sense it,” an onset source tells Woman’s Day. “But it was 2015 when they were working together and neither of them was single back then. They used that connection to make great television at the time, and they’ve kept in touch ever since.” Katie was dating…

After admitting she was “heartbroken” about the split with her husband of five years, Nadia Bartel is preparing to tell-all about her marriage to former football great Jimmy in a sit-down interview. The WAG, 34, moved out of the Melbourne home she shared with the former Geelong Cats player in June and into her parents’ house “permanently” the following month, along with the couple’s two sons, Aston, three, and 10-month-old Henley. The pair don’t appear to be on good terms, after they were spotted in a tense meeting as they handed over their children last week. They “hardly interacted or spoke” during the exchange, and Nadia “wasted no time” going back inside after she’d collected her children, say onlookers. “Nadia looked massively pissed off. She was crossing her arms and…

They’re already planning their dream wedding, and now Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell are looking for their dream home together. Sources tell Woman’s Day the couple have been actively househunting in recent weeks, and they’re close to purchasing a lavish Sunshine Coast home. “They want their marital home to be perfect and they’re taking their time to find the ideal spot,” explains an exclusive insider. “It’s the home where they’ll raise their family, so it’s incredibly important to them they find somewhere that feels special to both of them. Ideally, they want this to be their forever home and don’t want to move around if they can help it.” Bindi – who’s already worth around $5 million, thanks to her growing international star power – is also believed to have…

Being a regular on the comedy trail, Andy Saunders has gotten to be very chummy with funnyman Dave Hughes, who famously bid on and won Elyse Knowles and Josh Barker’s home in 2017. Now, Andy may be enlisting the comedian to give him some pointers on how to create a winning property this year! “I have worked with him, but I haven’t had any tips or offers from him yet, but they will come surely,” the 47-year-old Blockhead tells Woman’s Day. When asked if he plans on calling upon the 48-year-old TV and radio star to bid on his property this year, Andy says, “He is on the top of the list along with any other celebrity looking to buy a home in St Kilda!”…

Legendary six-time world champion ironman Trevor Hendy used to think he was invincible – free to party hard and play up with his buddies and happy to be carried away by his celebrity. “There was a gang of us who had a drinking and womanising culture,” says Trevor, who was in his mid-20s and married to Miss Surf Girl Jacki Dann at the time. “It was a hero-worship culture. The more you drank the more the hero you were. The looser you were and the funnier you were, the more accepted you were. It was all part of that culture of the ’80s and ’90s.” Growing up as a shy and humble kid, Trevor, now 51 and working as a successful life coach, candidly admits that as his triumphs as…

Smiles all round Brittany, Milo and Brighton (left to right) are the lights in my life and are all treated equally. Deanne Deluca , Narre Warren South, Vic Precious resource I read “Just 60 days of water left” (WD, Aug 26) with shame and guilt – just that day I’d complained about the rain we were getting in Tassie. I had no idea that the situation was so dire. Now I feel only gratitude for every drop of rain that falls. Sylvia Berger , Penguin, Tas Not hooked on vests Has anyone else noticed this trend on fishing TV shows – people not wearing safety gear like life vests? Is it being macho or just plain stupid?

AMANDA SAYS Model Heidi Klum’s Pomeranian Simba is the smallest of her three dogs. He takes protecting the family very seriously. His siblings are two German shepherds called Max and Freddie, and then there are the human siblings who he also loves very much. Simba comes across as a very confident, intelligent dog and absolutely has a sixth sense about many things, especially with Heidi’s kids. Simba tells me he was once with the kids outside and he smelt and then heard something in the long grass. He went over and started barking and then saw a man running out from the long grass. Simba gets quite distressed when Heidi has to go away, but loves the family that sometimes comes to stay and take care of things while she’s…

KARIM: ‘I’M THE “YES” MAN’ Meet Karim, the man who never says “no” to his clients in Sydney’s Crazy Rich Asians. What does your job entail? I like to refer to what I do as a high-end concierge. I say “yes” to any request from a client and make it happen. Who should we look out for on the show? LuLu is a hardworking woman who sells the best houses in Sydney, Emily is fun and playful, and Crystal – how can I describe her... out of this world! What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever been asked to do? After years in the industry it would be easier to answer what isn’t crazy. We’ve been asked to close the Harbour Bridge, and set up a dining table and crystal chandelier…

Smelling goopy? GWYNETH PALTROW The lifestyle guru loves natural remedies – she’s just not sure if that extends to her armpits. SEA THE GREATEST SHOWMAN HUGH JACKMAN You can take the performer off the stage, but you can’t remove the showman from the sea. Hugh couldn’t resist putting on a little jig as he hung out at Perth’s Cottesloe beach. TATT’S GOING TOO FAR! JANE BUNN The Melbourne weather presenter has got some serious fans. One of them revealed this ink on their arm, paying tribute to the curvy blonde. Sofia’s real estate move SOFIA VERGARA During filming for the 11th and final season of Modern Family, actress Sofia did not look pleased by a potential job in real estate. Maybe it’s just the thought of working with Phil (played…

Key occasion Singing siblings Donny and Marie Osmond ticked yet another achievement off their list as they received a key to the Las Vegas strip. She’ll be apples Prince Frederik teamed up with Save the Children to pick apples for charity. But is Mary still the apple of his eye? Just a mo-ment! Bradley Cooper treated his adorable two-year-old daughter Lea to a trip to Disneyland – and showed off his new moustache, too!

Katy Perry displayed a noticeable bump when she attended the premiere of fiance Orlando Bloom’s new Amazon show Carnival Row last week. The singer, 34, wore a clingy pink dress, with onlookers noticing she kept placing her hands protectively on her tummy throughout the evening. The couple certainly looked loved up, sharing kisses and cuddles throughout the event. Orlando, 42, also has an eight-year-old son, Flynn, from his previous marriage, to Miranda Kerr.…

She’s kept him away from prying eyes, but Kate’s sister Pippa Middleton, 35, finally gave us a glimpse of her adorable first born Arthur on a sunny stroll in London last week. And royal watchers couldn’t help but notice the chubby-cheeked 10-month-old has a royal pout very much like his cousins Princes George and Louis! In April, Pippa revealed Arthur is just as sporty as his cousins, too, telling Waitrose & Partners magazine he started swimming lessons when he was just four months.…

She’s recently become a teenager, but the bond between Katie and her daughter Suri is stronger than ever. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Suri and her superstar dad Tom Cruise. The father-daughter duo was last snapped together in 2013, and sources say it’s believed to have been six years since the 57-year-old star has seen his little girl. “Tom’s not in Suri’s life at all, so it’s no wonder Katie wants a man like Liev who is so hands-on with his children,” adds the insider. “Katie knows it’s not just about her, she has to work out what Suri wants and needs, too.”…

Karl Stefanovic splashed out $10,000 to fly his son Jackson to London for Father’s Day to try to put the pain and hurt of their toxic three-year feud behind them. The former Today host’s second wife Jasmine, 35, and a smiling Jackson were spotted checking into a London-bound flight at Sydney airport last week as they prepared to fly out for the family reunion that everyone had been hoping for. FAMILY REUNION Even Jackson’s mum, Karl’s ex-wife and Studio 10 panellist Cassandra Thorburn, 48, who has told friends of Jackson’s struggle with his parents’ divorce and the acrimony that followed, says she’s hoping the pair can repair their relationship. “I think it’s great that Jackson is spending time with his dad,” she tells Woman’s Day. Karl, 45, flew Jackson to…

He’s the smiling Queenslander who’s dealing with The Block’s intense competition by looking on the bright side – however, the pressure finally gets too much for Luke Struber this week. After an altercation with foreman Keith, Luke storms off-site and disappears for hours – leaving his wife Tess Cattana, 28, and his builders with no idea where he is or what he’s doing. The drama unfolds after “The Blockinator” Keith Schleiger notices a safety breach, and immediately kicks the Cairns couple’s plasterer off the site for the remainder of the competition. Furious with Keith’s cut-throat decision, Luke gets into his truck and speeds off into the distance – leaving his wife and his remaining tradies gobsmacked. “I was just super-overwhelmed with the build,” Luke tells Woman’s Day. “It was such…

Reese Witherspoon has been spotted without her wedding ring, just days after looking decidedly unhappy as she walked around Malibu with husband Jim Toth. The couple walked separately, not talking and looking away from each other, leading onlookers to suspect there may be some cracks in their relationship. Reese, 43, has recently bought a $9.3 million compound in Malibu, and it looks like her eight-year marriage to Jim, 49, is not in a good place. “Reese is slowly starting to carve out a new life for herself post-Jim and she’s hoping her new Malibu home will be a fresh start for her,” a source confirms to Woman’s Day. “She’s been telling friends how Jim will continue living at their Pacific Palisades home just a few miles away, which will make…

When Emily Chesson’s mum Shahn Green took her daughter to the optometrist, she couldn’t have known that her little girl’s “lazy eye” was hiding a much more frightening condition. “She had been busy dancing in the production of The Greatest Showman in her school when I noticed her right eye was closing,” explains Shahn, 30, who says an MRI revealed a tumour seven by six by three centimetres in size. Emily, then 10, was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of brain cancer, which only a handful of people have been known to have around the world – and the talented dancer from Newcastle was the youngest ever to be diagnosed with the condition. “Emily was prepped for a risky emergency surgery, as the doctor said if we didn’t operate,…

WHY DO IT? Dry brushing invigorates your entire body by stimulating blood circulation, removing dead skin cells and encouraging lymphatic drainage, which can help improve the look of cellulite and help your overall immunity. HOW DO I DO IT? Grab a body brush and stroke it all over your skin towards the heart. Starting at your feet, in long sweeping upward motions, brush over your limbs. Do circular motions over your abdominal region, armpits and groin. You can also brush over the palms of your hands and soles of your feet for an invigorating effect. HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO DO IT? Ideally, five minutes every day, but start out with two to three times a week to allow your skin to adjust. It’s normal to experience some pinkness…

Delta Goodrem is one of the best friends a girl could have – especially for her fellow part-time LA-Australian celeb, Extra host Renee Bargh. So it’s no wonder insiders say Delta’s a little worried her girl is getting too close for comfort with Scientology – a religion desperate for young, beautiful, celebrity poster faces. In recent months, Renee, 32, has taken to Instagram to proudly proclaim her affection for two of the church’s most well-known followers, Tom Cruise and John Travolta. In a gushing Instagram post last week, Renee, pictured cuddling with John, wrote, “@johntravolta is the epitome of class and grace. He’s charming, giving, authentic, and a true movie star.” This, combined with a Tom Cruise flirtfest during an interview last year, set off alarm bells for Delta, 34,…

Miley Cyrus has been awarded custody of the couple’s pets in her increasingly bitter split from Liam Hemsworth, leading to speculation he’s considering a permanent move back to Australia. The pair share seven dogs, two horses, two mini-horses, three cats and a pig. “If Liam wanted to put up a fight, he could in California – there’s a new law that allows judges to determine which party is best suited to keep the pets,” explains a source. “In this case, Miley’s the one who gave almost all the animals a home in the first place – mainly through adoption – and she’s certainly passionate about them.” Adding to 29-year-old Liam’s heartbreak – and reported reluctance to return to the US – is Miley’s first public appearance with girlfriend Kaitlynn…

In the wake of the Sussexes’ marriage crisis, insiders have revealed to Woman’s Day that Harry plans to attend his ex’s wedding all on his own – and Meghan’s fuming! It comes after bride-to-be Cressida Bonas, 30, attended Harry and Meghan’s wedding in May last year. “Meghan’s never liked Cressida since she’s Harry’s one that got away, and now Meghan’s worried all those feelings will be reawakened when Harry sees her walk down the aisle,” a palace insider reveals. Cressida, who dated Harry between 2012 and 2014, announced her engagement to Harry Wentworth-Stanley late last month.…

Looking stressed and upset as she moved boxes and parcels out of the Melbourne home she shares with husband Lleyton, sources claim Bec Hewitt’s newfound independence has left the couple’s 14-year marriage in trouble. Since going back to work last year as a host on Nine’s travel show HelloWorld, insiders say Bec has realised she no longer has to rely on Lleyton, 38. “For the first time in decades she’s regained her independence and feels she can make decisions with or without Lleyton,” a source told Woman’s Day. Dressed down in a baggy jumper, old sneakers and jeans, and with her hair tied back, the 36-year-old even appeared to be organising for her car to be removed from the couple’s multimillion-dollar Melbourne property. ‘She feels she can make decisions with…

Their chemistry has been evident ever since they first laid eyes on each other, but could these shocking new images prove that Chelsie McLeod and Matt Agnew’s relationship is written in the stars? In photos obtained exclusively by Woman’s Day, chemical engineer Chelsie may have exposed this year’s final three Bachelorettes. The 28-year-old, out on a night in Melbourne recently, was busted texting Abbie Chatfield and Helena Sauzier in a group chat called “MA Absolute Best”, with speculation that could be a reference to the girls being Matt’s top three. PERFECT MATCH Despite all three ladies being smitten with Bachelor Matt, it appears there’s no bad blood between them, with either Abbie, 23, or Helena, 25, texting the group, “Tell me about the mans” and “Story start to finish” and…

Cass took to social media as Jackson was enjoying his 20th birthday in London to mark the occasion and praise her first-born. “20 years today since I first became a mum … what an honour it has been,” she captioned a collection of cute photos of Jackson as a youngster. Cass has been glowing in her praise of Jackson since her divorce from Karl, and Jackson himself always defends his mother, describing her as an “extraordinary person”.…

Alongside Scotty Cam, Shelley has been the face of The Block for almost a decade, but it may be time for the presenter to put her tools down for good. Shelley has announced she’ll be hosting a new show, Your Domain, with Chris Kohler this month, and fans are speculating it means she won’t return to The Block next season. It comes as the 43-year-old’s once pivotal hosting role has been dwindled down to a blink-andyou’ll-miss-it appearance, one many fans have said is pointless!…

You’ve probably heard of mobile apps that help track calories, provide healthy recipe ideas, guide at-home workouts and so on. And it seems technology is starting to play a much more significant role in our individual health routines, with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) diet the latest high-tech tracking plan to make waves. Personal trainer Valerie Best explains what it’s all about… WHAT IS THE AI DIET? “The AI diet uses smart technology (an algorithm) that reacts, recognises and learns to make informed, unemotional, individualised and strategic decisions on a person’s eating plan to enhance wellbeing and longevity,” says Valerie. Essentially, it’s trying to overcome the countless “unsuccessful” diets out there by showing people that eating right and its success or effectiveness is personal and differs between individuals. There is no…

Book 11 months in advance for peak-season travel Airfares booked 11 months before departure date can be significantly cheaper. Typically, this is when an airline’s first level of pricing is released, and the more full the plane becomes, the higher the airfare. Last year, some earlybirds booked June flights from Sydney to London for just $672! Fly into smaller alternative airports Airfares can be more expensive when flying into large international airports, usually due to airport taxes and airline capacity. Flights into second-tier airports near your destination may be cheaper. For example, Chubu Centrair International Airport in central Japan could be an alternative to flights into Osaka and Tokyo. Look at open-jaw flights Instead of purchasing a return airfare, book an open-jaw flight [that sees you] flying into one city…
