I remember the first day I walked into the Woman’s Day offices as an intern. I was nervous, and to be frank, I had no idea what I was getting myself into! Fast forward to today and I’m writing my final letter to you as editor. To each and every one of our incredibly loyal readers, all I can say is thank you. Thank you for letting me be a part of the very special weekly ritual that is buying and enjoying some time out with your copy of Woman’s Day, and for allowing me to share with you so many wonderful stories. It has been a true privilege to be a part of something that means so much to so many. I leave you in the excellent hands of…

Kate Moss has fully embraced the end of lockdown over the European summer, however friends fear her newfound freedom may have come at a price. According to reports, the 47-year-old supermodel may have fallen “off the wagon” following the wild wedding of her Aussie protege Jordan Barrett, 25, in Ibiza last month. Last week, an insider told the Daily Mail, “Mossy is back and everyone is talking about it. In Ibiza it was all anyone was talking about. And a few famous people who know her mentioned it at a [London hotspot] Chiltern Firehouse lunch last week.” The supermodel, who once earned herself the nickname “The Tank” for her ability to drink morning, noon and night, was boasting about her three years of sobriety at a book launch just a…

After going Blockhead-to-head in an explosive body corporate meeting, which descended into nasty name calling, it appeared Faves Mitch and Mark and twins Josh and Luke would remain sworn enemies on the show. But a TV insider tells Woman’s Day the two teams appear to have had a change of heart and started mending their friendship. Meanwhile, Ronnie (inset) looks to be winning Luke over too, after a long time at odds. But, insiders ask, could it just be his way of trying to turn the twins against Tanya and Vito? Hey, it’s never boring in Hampton!…

Olivia was front and centre as new man Harry hit the stage to kick off his US Love On Tour shows in Las Vegas on September 4. And fellow concertgoers say the star was fangirling – hard! “Olivia arrived once Harry started singing Golden. She was standing the entire time off to the side,” says an onlooker. “She was very happy for him and cheered him on. She was hardcore dancing and clearly was very supportive. She also recorded him from her phone when he was singing Cherry.”…

An explosive new book claims that Patrick Dempsey was anything but “dreamy” behind the scenes of Grey’s Anatomy, forcing longtime friend and co-star Ellen Pompeo to take sides. Author Lynette Rice, whose book How To Save A Life: The Inside Story Of Grey’s Anatomy was released last week, claims 55-year-old Patrick’s shock departure from the show in 2015 – which caused a fierce backlash from fans at the time – was down to “HR issues”. TERROR ON SET “It wasn’t sexual in any way,” says executive producer James D Parriott in the book. “He sort of was terrorising the set. Some cast members had all sorts of PTSD with him. He had this hold where he knew he could stop production and scare people. I think he was just done…

He sensationally dropped out of the third season of SAS Australia just days before they were set to start filming last week. And while Michael Clarke, 40, claims it was due to a back injury, a source tells Woman’s Day he also got cold feet after watching Sam Burgess’ interrogation earlier this month. “He was worried he would have to address his marriage breakdown,” spills the insider. “He’d feel uncomfortable addressing that, knowing it could impact on his and Kyly’s daughter Kelsey Lee.” Our spy also tells that his on-again, off-again partner Pip Edwards may have been a factor, too. “He was concerned about leaving her now that they’re back on.”…

It has been three years since his son Samuel lost his battle with brain cancer, and Red Symons has dealt with much of his grief behind closed doors. Now Red has spoken out about the lingering effects of loss on a new podcast, Baby Boomers’ Guide To Life In The 21st Century. The musician and Hey Hey It’s Saturday favourite spoke to hosts Patricia “Little Pattie” Amphlett and Lex Marinos and was candid when Lex asked him how he’s coping now, three years after losing Sam, who was just 27. “Well, simply put, you don’t get over it. You take it on board. It becomes part of your view of the world,” the 72-year-old said of his son, who was first diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of…

Denise McGregor Victoria Police are hopeful a recently increased $1 million reward may finally bring closure to the family of murdered Coburg teenager Denise McGregor. Found beaten to death, roadside north of Melbourne in 1978, Denise’s murder has haunted her family for over four decades. Denise’s elder sister Colleen McGregor says every time there was news of another rape or abduction, the family would wonder if it was the man who killed Denise. “We will never give up trying to find out what happened to Denise,” Colleen tells. “I hope the bugger who did it looks over his shoulder every single day.” The 13-year-old schoolgirl was last seen walking with her other sister Sharon, then 11, from their home in Bell Street, Coburg, to a nearby hamburger shop around 6.15pm…

Approximately 55 Australians are diagnosed with breast cancer every day – that’s more than 20,000 people each year. One in seven women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, meaning you or someone you know could be affected by this disease. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Medical oncologist Belinda Kiely explains that the symptoms of breast cancer depend on where the tumour is and how quickly it’s growing in the breast. “Most people diagnosed with breast cancer are diagnosed with early stage disease, where the cancer is contained in the breast and the lymph nodes in the armpit,” she says. “Many people will have no symptoms and the breast cancer is found during a screening mammogram.” There are some signs to watch out for though, including a lump or thickening…

Our faces change as the years tick by, and the way in which we apply makeup should, too. We’re not saying you need a complete turnaround from your normal tricks, but it’s worth switching things up to create softer and more flattering looks that’ll enhance, not change, your appearance. Here’s how to update the classics and adjust your favourite makeup look. SMOKY EYES A heavy hand is not the answer to bold, sultry eyes. Lots of light, soft layers and blending are the tricks instead! For an everyday brown smoky eye that suits all eye colours and skin types, start with a wash of nude shadow a couple of shades darker than your natural skin tone all over the lid with a small fluffy brush. Follow up with a warm…

Ever since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie announced their divorce almost five years ago to the day, Hollywood insiders have been waiting with bated breath to see if he’d go back to Jennifer Aniston – who is widely believed to be his one true love. There have been whispers, rumours and sightings of the two together since Brad rejoined the single world, and it seemed those anxious for them to get back together wouldn’t have much longer to wait. Now, Woman’s Day can reveal that the couple have indeed officially reunited over a project they once referred to as “their baby” when they were married. PLAN B BACK ON The pair – who our sources say have been embroiled in “steamy late-night script writing sessions” – recently signed documents reinstating…

At the time of press, royal watchers were waiting with bated breath for tidbits about Princess Beatrice’s baby news. Buckingham Palace announced that the 33-year-old had welcomed her first child, a daughter, with new husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi, 37, in London on Saturday, September 18 at 11.42pm, but so far had remained tight-lipped on further details. Bookies said odds-on favourite names for the little girl were Florence, Matilda and Elizabeth, in honour of her great-grandmother the Queen. UK press reported that Beatrice’s mum Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, jetted from Balmoral Castle to St James’s Palace in London to be with her second grandchild, who is rumoured to have red hair like her mum. The baby is the Queen’s 12th great-grandchild, and 11th in line to the throne.…

KATHERINE HEIGL PULLS OUT OF EMMY RACE In a move that raised eyebrows at the studio and beyond, Katherine Heigl, who shot to fame playing Dr Izzie Stevens, announced in a statement that she would be withdrawing her 2008 Emmy nomination. “I did not feel I was given the material this season to warrant [it],” she said. “And in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organisation, I withdrew my name from contention.” Katherine, 42, was soon written out of the series by the show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes. ISAIAH’S CONFRONTATION WITH PATRICK In 2006, it was reported that Isaiah Washington said, “I’m not your little f * ggot like TR” during a physical confrontation with Patrick – referring to their co-star TR Knight, who at that point had…

The wide brown paddocks were parched by drought, feed was scarce and hungry cattle had to be sold, and at that point, Simmone Jade Mackinnon realised her dream job was drawing to a close. It sounds like an episode of McLeod’s Daughters, the much-loved television drama series that first screened nearly 20 years ago. Yet for the show’s former star Simmone, this was real life, labouring as a jillaroo on 2173 dusty hectares in country Queensland. “I can’t tell you how much I loved it,” smiles the single mum, who earned six Logie nominations playing Drover’s Run overseer Stevie Hall. “The drought was dire and we prayed for rain every day, but I’ve never been happier. Riding, driving tractors, mustering, fencing, helping with the calves... I was living my character’s…

HUNGRY OR THIRSTY? Hunger can often be mistaken for dehydration, especially if you have increased your exercise lately. If you’ve had a meal or a snack in the last hour, try drinking a large glass of water first to see if that satisfies you. INTERMITTENT FASTING For some people, limiting the number of hours you eat during the day can help reduce your calorie intake. Try the 5:2 diet where you eat less calories on two days of the week, or the 16:8 diet where you only eat during an eight-hour window like 12pm to 8pm. MEAL REPLACEMENT SHAKES Try replacing one or two of your daily main meals with a protein-based weight loss shake from Isowhey. Available in a range of flavours, these powders can be incorporated into a…

Felix, 24, was carted off to Surry Hills police station where he spent the night behind bars – for the second time in just months. The former actor had also been arrested in January, after he allegedly attempted to rob a ride share driver. Felix disappeared from the spotlight after he was replaced on the soap in…

Prince Charles always dreamed of having a daughter – to the point where he is rumoured to have expressed in the delivery room his brief dismay that Prince Harry wasn’t a girl. So when Duchess Kate married his eldest son Prince William after seven years of dating, the king-in-waiting couldn’t have been happier that he finally had one. “Charles always loved Kate, from the moment Wills brought her home,” says a source. “She’s been a welcome addition to the family who handles herself perfectly, and he’s got a real soft spot for her.” BAD YEAR FOR ALL Now, Woman’s Day can reveal that Charles, 72, is leaning on his daughter-in-law more than ever after a “horrendous past year”, during which his father Prince Philip passed away, Harry moved to the…
