Dinnertime in my house is often a fraught occasion - my toddler Leni loves to throw her food on the floor (or at me!), while my four-year-old Maggie would happily eat jam toast for every meal if she had her way. So it was something of a relief to hear that even celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge’s dinners are found lacking by his hard-to-please kids, which was just one of the fun anecdotes he shared with Woman’s Day ahead of the launch of his new show Kitchen Nightmares (p30). And if all that talk of food has got you looking for some recipe inspo, our light bites special on page 68 should be just the answer! Enjoy.…

Long before Meghan came along, Harry was already obsessed about how his life would turn out - and was intimidated by the arrival of his babu nephew. According to The Times newspaper, Harry feared that he would become “irrelevant” once Prince George turned 18. “He had the idea that he had a shelf life,” says the newspaper’s source. “He was fixated on it. He would compare himself with his uncle [Prince Andrew], He’d say, ‘I have this time to make an impact… then I will be the also-ran.’ He was thinking of it as, ‘I have this platform now, for a limited amount of time. I want to move forward.’” The report added that Harry’s staff assured him he was nothing like Andrew, saying, “You can still have an impact…

Set spies reveal Grey’s Anatomy stalwart Ellen Pompeo has had her scenes cut in the upcoming season of the long-running medical drama due to pay disputes. After playing Dr Meredith Grey for 17 years, Ellen, 52, announced she’s taking a “reduced role” in the coming months, but insiders maintain it’s nothing but “spin” from the actress and she didn’t have a choice. Bigwigs are said to have refused to fork out more money to have her stay in the main cast. While she reportedly earns an eye-watering $20 million a season, US tipsters say she wanted more, forcing the network to go in a different direction with her character.…

Renee Zellweger’s friends are deeply concerned about her romance with Ant Anstead, whose bitter divorce has taken a turn for the worse. A worried confidante tells Woman’s Day, “Ant’s ex-wife [Christina Hall] is proving to be a real thorn in their side and she’s essentially going to be part of their lives until September 2040 when their son turns 21.” Ant, 43, is in an ugly custody battle with his ex after he accused Christine of “exploiting” son Hudson, three, on social media. “It’s had an impact on Renee’s confidence in her role as a stepmother,” adds the insider, adding that as nice as Ant is, the 53-year-old actress “doesn’t need the extremely stressful baggage”. “She’s paralysed with fear that she’ll say or do something that could make things worse.…

Royal news Princess Mary was a woman on a mission when she stepped out last week to address Queen Margrethe’s explosive decision to dramatically strip four of her grandchildren of their titles, which has sparked a cold war in the Danish royal household and set brothers Prince Joachim and Prince Frederik even further apart. “Change can be extremely difficult and can really hurt. But this does not mean that the decision is not the right one,” Mary bravely told Danish paper Ekstra Bladet, adding that when the time comes, her own kids, Prince Christian, 16, Princess Isabella, 15, and twins Princess Josephine and Prince Vincent, 11, may also lose their titles. They were comments that didn’t sit well with Fred’s brother Joachim and his wife Princess Marie, who are reeling…

Celebrity news He once described life as being full of “regret and pain” but these days Hollywood superstar Michael J Fox is certainly not giving up hope! The Back To The Future actor was recently seen out enjoying himself at a Las Vegas championship boxing match, where the fearless 61-year-old was taken into the arena in a wheelchair for the first time in his near-two-decade battle with Parkinson’s disease. Despite battling mobility issues, Michael remained in high spirits as he was escorted to the sporting event with a smile, and even greeted waiting fans on the way. Insiders explain that Michael is privately struggling behind the scenes with his condition, which will likely never get easier. “Unfortunately, there is no realistic hope for improvement at this stage. Parkinson’s disease not…

Celebrity news Angelina Jolie has levelled bombshell allegations against her ex-husband Brad Pitt, alleging that during a drunken rage on board their family’s private jet, he violently abused her and at least two of their children and poured alcohol on his wife and kids - claims Brad vehemently denies.

Budding photographers will love getting involved with Junior Landcare’s new What’s in Your Backyard? competition, where they can snap photos of the great outdoors for a host of prizes. “The ‘What’s in your backyard?’ campaign is a terrific way of getting children involved by encouraging them to grab a camera, or use a mobile phone, to capture photos of the flora and fauna in their backyard,” says Costa. “This can be anything from the pot plants on their balcony, worms in the compost bin, the park, local community garden or nature strip down the road, or the Local wetland or beach. Children can then share their photos with me and Junior Landcare, and explain why their backyard is important to them.” Entries close on October 31. Visit juniorlandcare.org.au for more info.…

Think fringes When it comes to tweaking your hair for a more youthful appearance, sometimes minimal adjustments do the trick rather than a full chop. “I think a fringe is one of the most youthful things a woman can do as far as cuts go,” explains celebrity hair stylist Max Pinnell. “I personally have not followed the rule about different shape faces. I look at my clients’ face in the mirror, play around with the hair and let them see what’s flattering and we decide from there.” Getting acquainted with a new fringe can be tricky, so invest in tools to help you… Batiste Coconut Milk & Hemp Dry Shampoo $15 ELEVEN Australia Round Brush $29.95 Tip If you decide to brave the bang, maintain the length by trimming every…

In the palace releasing a portrait of the new King, Queen, Prince and Princess of Wales, London’s press took it as show of strength - and a hint that The Sussexes’ relevance had taken a hit. But Harry and Meghan, never a pair to take anything from King Charles without a fight, hit back with two new images of their own just days later. Taken in Manchester before the Queen’s death by the couple’s favourite photographer Misan Harriman, one image shows a smiling Harry standing behind a staunch Meghan, their fingers interlocked. Sources insist the timing of the images’ release was without a doubt “by design”, and that Meghan loves nothing more than to prove to her father-in-law King Charles she can do anything he can.…

Following the sad passing earlier this year of Olivia Newton-John, her daughter Chloe Lattanzi has revealed she hopes to remove her breast implants due to the possible harm they could do to her body. The singer-songwriter, 36, made the announcement two months after her mother died at age 73 after a 30-year on-again-off-again journey with cancer. Chloe, who has reportedly had hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of surgery over the years, took to Instagram to talk about her health. She shared, in a since-expired post, that in trying to be the healthiest version of herself, she has already had fillers in her face dissolved and plans to remove her breast implants. “I’ve had the fillers removed from my face. When I had it done, I had body dysmorphia so…

Robert Irwin has tearily laid bare the sacrifices his mother Terri made following the shock death of his father Steve in 2006. In a rare and lengthy interview on ABC’s One Plus One, Robert, 18, struggled to hold back the tears as he called his mother a “wonder woman” who helped his family get back on their feet after their devastating loss. ‘She could have sold the zoo and just raised us. And we could have just squirrelled away and lived a little hidden life,” he said, adding that Terri, 58, wanted to carry on Steve’s legacy - and that giving up the zoo would have been the “wrong thing to do”. Robert also admitted that while it was his dad who had the “larger-than-life character”, it was his mum…

THE NEW BLOCK Tools down in Paradise Tired of the mounting backlash against them by fans, The Block’s Omar and Oz have fled the country for some much-needed R&R. The Sydney-based best mates quietly snuck out of the country last week, with a well-placed insider confirming to Woman’s Day they “have flown to Bali for two weeks for a holiday” but will return in time for the auction. Omar and Oz, both 30, have been at the centre of several controversies ever since the show began airing in late August, resulting in fans and fellow Blockheads cruelly labelling them “cheaters” and “dodgy dealers.” Sadly, passengers on the same flight as the boys overheard them saying they wanted to escape as they “were getting hammered on the show” and that it…

Celebrity news Breakfast TV is no place for the faint-hearted, with cutthroat competition for the top jobs, painfully early mornings and never being quite sure who your real friends are. And it seems for Morning Wars stars Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, who play duelling anchors Bradley Jackson and Alex Levy in the award-winning series, art does imitate life. Set insiders tell Woman’s Day there is “obvious tension” between the show’s leading ladies, thanks to season three’s gruelling filming schedule and lingering frustrations from Jen that Reese has tried to “become the main star in what was always supposed to be a double billing” ‘At the moment, they barely speak to each other’ “They are friends, but it has always been a little up and down,” says an insider. “At…

It’s something we do all the time, but breathing correctly is something that a surprisingly small number of us have yet to master. Learning to breathe properly is one of the best things that you can do for your physical and mental health. Yoga instructor Kate Kendall from Flow Athletic shares this short exercise… LONG SOOTHING EXHALATION WITH BREATH HOLD Sit somewhere comfy or lie down and start to direct your breath all the way down into the belly. The key is to breathe “low and slow”. After a few moments, breathe in to the count of three and exhale slowly for six, hold for three and begin the cycle again.

Book corner Our Books Editor Wade Sellers gives us his fave picks for the week! Ever since Robin Williams’ tragic death in 2014, a spotlight has been placed on the dark side of comedy, making the sad clown paradox suddenly not so funny any more. However, for BAFTA-winning comedian Graham Norton, he’s managed to channel that darkness into writing, delivering several bestselling novels that combine acid-tongued wit with startling imagery and themes so expertly drawn you almost forget he’s made a living out of making us laugh every week for 25 years on The Graham Norton Show. Graham, 59, first delved into writing in the late ’90s, mainly focusing on historical non-fiction titles, before moving onto emotionally driven and perceptive fiction novels in 2016. It’s in this space that he’s…

Behind the scenes Your entertainment backstage pass! Most Australians remember Lucy Lawless as the raven-haired, chakram-throwing hero Xena who dominated our screens in the mid-’90s. But now, the New Zealand-born star, 54, is back fighting a different type of villain in the third season of comedy drama My Life Is Murder. My Life Is Murder seems the complete opposite of a dark murder mystery. Was this a deliberate choice? The world was really dark when we started the show, and we didn’t want to contribute to that, so it became more of a reason to have a show that has a lovely element of justice in an unjust world. You’re now three seasons into playing the detective. Was it easier to prep for the role this time around? This job is…

Royal news BEHIND PALACE WALLS Prince William and Prince Harry set their years-long feud aside to honour their grandmother the Queen last month, but sources say the ceasefire is now very much over. A new book has laid bare the shocking reason Prince Harry, 38, ignored his brother’s text messages in reconciliation efforts - catapulting their hostilities back into headlines. Sources tell Woman’s Day Harry is said to be “furious” that a text conversation with his brother has made its way into the public domain via respected royal journalist Valentine Low. In Valentine’s new book Courtiers, he reveals that Harry cruelly snubbed an offer from William to meet up and discuss their differences after the Sussexes confirmed during their tour to South Africa that there were indeed direct tensions with…

If King Charles needs any repairs done at his Highgrove estate, he’ll have to go through his landlord - son William - first. In becoming the Prince of Wales, Wills has inherited the Duchy of Cornwall, making him Britain’s richest landowner and brings Highgrove under his control.

Celebrity news HOT OFF THE PRESS Still in pain After escaping Scientology following her split from Tom Cruise more than two decades ago, Nicole Kidman is still living in fear of the controversial church. Nicole, 55, is still having “nightmares” over her stint in Scientology, and she often finds herself “cowering” to husband Keith Urban, a friend spills. “She's traumatised - and her fears have only been made worse by this new book.” In A Billion Years: My Escape From A Life In The Highest Ranks Of Scientology, the new memoir from former high-ranking church officer Mike Rinder, it’s alleged that the church had Nicole followed - and her phone tapped - in 1997 as they believed that her reluctance to commit to Scientology was influencing their biggest star to also…

Oscar winner Hilary Swank has announced she is pregnant with twins.
