Innholdsfortegnelse for Issue 47, 2021 i Woman's Day

There wasn’t a dry eye across the country as a brave and grieving Patti Newton stood alongside her beautiful granddaughters to express her heartbreak following the loss of her husband of 46 years, Bert, who she described as “the most wonderful man” last week. The larger-than-life entertainer graced our screens for more than five decades and we, as a nation, welcomed him into our hearts and homes. But there’s no doubt his greatest role was that of a devoted husband to his soulmate Patti, loving father to his children Lauren and Matthew, and proud poppy to his six grandchildren, who brought him so much joy. In honour of his incredible life and career, we dedicate this issue to you, Bert. You will be deeply missed. I’d also like to express…

While most people used lockdown as a chance to catch up on Netflix and eat baked goods, sources say Sofia Vergara took the opportunity to have a discreet facelift! Ahead of her 50th birthday in July next year, insiders say the actress apparently “felt that she needed a little more help to combat the inevitable ageing process”. The Modern Family star, who’s denied having plastic surgery in the past but once said, “I’m not saying no” to other procedures, is said to be “thrilled” with the results of her subtle refresh, which she showed off in a stunning selfie on Instagram on October 23.…

With the announcement that Matthew Perry is being paid seven figures for a tell-all memoir by publishers, it’s no surprise his former Friends colleagues are concerned. “Matthew’s co-stars are outwardly supportive of his new endeavour but there are nerves about what he’s going to include,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “Especially Jennifer [Aniston], who people will be wanting to read about the most. Rumour has it Matthew is being pushed to spill on whether she really did hook up with Matt LeBlanc or whether David Schwimmer was pursuing her!” Insiders say the book, which will be released late next year, will include funny anecdotes from the 52-year-old’s time on the hit show, but will also go into his long battle with addiction to alcohol and pain pills. “He’s gone through…

Home And Away’s Sam Frost has revealed she will be “written out” of the iconic soap! The 32-year-old actress took to social media to announce that her character, Jasmine Delaney, will be “written out temporarily” from the show until late February next year. The former Bachelorette – who faced a fierce backlash last month after revealing she wouldn’t be receiving the COVID-19 vaccine – added that she would now be getting the jab, but wouldn’t be able to do so until after a “medical procedure” booked in for January. Sam has assured fans her popular character will only be taking a short break away from Summer Bay. “I’ll be back,” she told her Instagram followers, adding that her Seven bosses have been “amazing”. “Very grateful we were able to make…

Until as recently as last month, Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, were telling friends they doubt they’ll ever return to the United Kingdom again, such has been the public backlash against them for leaving the royal family. But when it was revealed that the Queen was secretly hospitalised towards the end of October and was forced to back out of important public engagements, sources say the 37-year-old prince “did an abrupt 180 on his determination not to go back”. According to our insider, Harry “seriously considered” getting on the next British Airways flight out of LAX – and even held tense negotiations with his wife about taking their two-year-old son Archie. “Harry’s every instinct screamed that he should go back to the UK and see his grandmother,” says…

My name is Cleo.” Those were the four words that left hardened police in tears of relief after finding the four-year-old, safe and well, in a house just a seven-minute drive from her home in the remote coastal town of Carnarvon, WA. Every parent’s worst nightmare finally ended for mum Ellie Smith when her daughter was returned to her loving arms after 18 agonising days of searching and intense police work led to her miracle rescue, following her abduction last month. Upon seeing her mum, Cleo simply called out “Mummy!” and reached out her arms for a hug in a heartbreaking reunion many feared may never happen. “Our family is whole again,” an ecstatic Ellie wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post. When Ellie and Cleo’s stepdad Jake Gliddon let close…

Standing at the airport gates, clutching a bouquet of red roses, David Frisken’s heart raced as he searched the sea of faces at Sydney’s international arrivals terminal. For 660 days, the 25-year-old had been separated from his fiancee Hye Young Moon, who was studying at university in South Korea when the international borders slammed shut in early 2020. Last Monday as the first quarantine-free planeloads of travellers touched down on Australian soil, David and Hye Young were finally able to hold each other in their arms. “I was so excited and nervous when I saw her – my eyes were welling up,” David tells Woman’s Day just hours after the couple were reunited on November 1. “Having her here, there’s no way to describe the feeling. Seeing her so happy…

Most of us have been spending a lot more time indoors than usual, so it’s no surprise our homes have become more cluttered and chaotic. Whether you live alone or with a family, a messy space can often lead to a crowded headspace. Organising your home and keeping it that way can help clear your mind, so follow these tips from the owner of Steph Pase Planners and organising expert Steph Pase. 1 DECLUTTER The thought of organising an entire home is overwhelming, and unlike Netflix shows where they do it all in one weekend, it just isn’t achievable for the everyday person. When it comes to decluttering your home, don’t think of the big picture. Instead, set aside just five to 15 minutes a day to focus on a…

TOM HIDDLESTON, 40 The current bookies’ favourite, the suave Englishman has already proved he can tackle action scenes in Thor and Loki. IDRIS ELBA, 49 He’s long been a favourite to slip into the black tuxedo and while the Luther actor is still a big star, he won’t overshadow the Bond name.

It was a life lived large, full of love, laughter and the most extraordinary highlights, and you can be sure Bert Newton, the most beloved of all our stars, is still beaming that brilliant smile as we prepare for his final farewell show.

They’ve had an uneasy relationship for decades, but it seems Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, will be the one to step up for the Queen in her hour of need. Insiders say the 74-year-old wife of Prince Charles has volunteered to increase her workload while the Queen convalesces – especially given her usual back-ups are unavailable. There are four “Counsellors of State” usually called upon to cover for the monarch when she’s unavailable – Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince William and Prince Harry. “Though with Andrew on forced leave because of his sexual assault case in the US and Harry living in California having stepped down as a senior royal, they’ve found themselves thin on the ground with the Queen being off ill,” says a source. “William’s doing his best to…

Kristen Stewart has revealed she’s engaged after her girlfriend of two years, screenwriter Dylan Meyer, popped the question! “We’re marrying, we’re totally gonna do it,” the Spencer star told The Howard Stern Show. “I wanted to be proposed to, so I think I very distinctly carved out what I wanted and she nailed it.

The inscription inside their wedding rings said it all – “No longer two but one.” Huge crowds turned out for the marriage ceremony – fans even picnicked on the church steps – but Bert and Patti Newton only had eyes for each other. Theirs was a great love story played out in the public eye for almost 50 years. But sadly, it ended with Bert’s death only days before what would have been the couple’s 47th anniversary. Right up until the end, they were virtually inseparable. Patti missed his passing by minutes but realised that was probably her husband’s parting act of kindness. “Maybe he didn’t want me to be there for his last breath,” she pondered in the days after his death. “He was just the most wonderful man.…

I was about seven and Patti 10. We hit it off and became great friends. UNBREAKABLE BOND “We went to Vietnam to entertain the troops in 1967... a poignant chapter of our lives that created a deep and indelible bond. “Patti was working as a…

Fresh from her health scare that saw her cancel a string of engagements, the Queen is said to be doing well – but is disappointed to be under strict doctor’s orders to no longer ride her beloved Fell ponies. “She has been advised to rest, so no more riding and no walking the dogs in the near future, and no more travelling for now,” says a source. “It reminds her all too much of when doctors advised Prince Philip to give up his carriage driving. Thankfully she is allowed to drive, and has been seen scooting around Windsor in her old Jag as a way of getting out of the house.” The Queen, 95, also had to cancel attending the COP26 event in Glasgow but instead appeared by videolink to…
