Amanda Keller has revealed she was snubbed by TV's night of nights, after her popular Ten show The Living Room was surprisingly “rested” in 2023. “Two Logies ago I was nominated for Gold, I'm not invited this year,” says the 61-year-old. But the star insists “hand on heart, I'm happy not to go”, and would prefer to put her feet up at home instead “I'm going to be doing what I usually do, which is watch it on TV and probably goto bed at about 9.30pm.” Indeed, the Jonesy & Amanda host tells Woman's Day she's enjoying being out of TV land. “I've got this wonderful gig on the radio,” she says. “There's nothing else I want to be doing.”…

King Charles better download the Airbnb app if he plans on visiting Wales anytime soon!

And now not even Wills’ beloved dad is being given special treatment after the 41-year-old Prince of Wales issued him an eviction notice on his holiday home in Wales. Sources say the 74-year-old monarch is “miffed” to be losing his three-bedroom house, Llwynywermod, after buying it in 2007. “Charles loves that place and spent a lot of time renovating it and the surrounding gardens,” says an insider. “It's true he only got to stay there for a week or two a year, so…

A slimmed-down Jackie O has slammed claims she lost weight with a quick fix like gastric band surgery or the diabetes medication Ozempic. “I can't say it enough that I have not done anything other than just eat well, exercise and give up alcohol,” says the defiant radio host, who's dropped 18kg. Jackie says she's tired of online trolls targeting her new figure. “When I first started to lose weight at the beginning of the year, it was all fine. And then when I lost a little bit more, people were suspicious that it came off very quickly,” says the 48-year-old radio star, who's just announced she's no longer the face of Weight Watchers. “Since then… I've had people just so steadfast in their belief that I have not lost…

Liev, 55, and his pregnant partner Taylor Neisen, 31, wed during a private backyard ceremony at their Hamptons home earlier this month, following 54-year-old Naomi's “I dos” with Billy Crudup, 55, in June. “Some of their oldest friends are joking about why they didn't have a double wedding,” spills an insider. “It's bizarre that the most marriage-phobic man in the world has gone and tied the knot all of a sudden.

Tell us about how you came up with the story of None Of This Is True… I had an idea a few years ago about birthday twins who meet by chance and then one becomes obsessed with the other, but didn't know quite how to make it work as a full-length novel. Then, two years ago, I was approached by a writer who wanted to write a book about me. I agreed, and it was a great project, but there were a few moments during the process where I wondered if I'd made a mistake by letting a stranger into my life. The last piece of the puzzle was a glimpse of a man through a window. I felt this man was hiding secrets and I needed to write the…

• At this time of year you'll find a wide range of roses available to buy as “bagged” plants. They do look somewhat intimidating (they'll basically be leafless, thorny stems in a plastic bag).

Larger flowering bulbs, such as hippeastrum, gladiolus and pineapple lily can be planted now.…
