This week, former Olympic champion Stephanie Rice opens up to Woman’s Day ahead of her SAS Australia debut. She’s candid, funny and honest, and I personally can’t wait to see more of what we’re calling Steph 2.0 in this office... even if it involves seeing her in some seriously wild stunts and answering the gruelling demands of the SAS crew. Speaking of great TV, please don’t miss the new Beckham documentary on Netflix, it’s fascinating! From family feuds to affairs, the soccer sensation goes there on it all! If only Harry and Meghan took a leaf out of David and Victoria’s book and truly opened up about their marriage and life in the spotlight. Speaking of the Sussexes, turn to page 12 for the very latest on their covert trip…

Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville has called it quits on his marriage to Lucinda “Lulu” Williams after more than two decades together! “I can confirm that Hugh Bonneville and Lulu Williams have separated,” says a spokesman for the actor. The news comes after the pair first sparked split rumours when Hugh, 59, attended his co-star Michelle Dockery’s nuptials last week without Lulu, 55, or his wedding ring. According to reports, the break-up was Hugh’s decision as he was busy focusing on work. “Hugh has been away from home filming a lot this year,” says a source. And it seems the single life suits him! “He has lost a bit of weight this summer – he was looking trim, tanned and relaxed,” says the insider.…

HOT OFF THE PRESS • HOT OFF THE PRESS • HOT OFF THE PRESS • HOT OFF THE PRESS Mixing it up on set It might have been 35 years since they worked together on the hit 1988 drama Cocktail, but Bryan Brown still remembers butting heads with co-star Tom Cruise like it was yesterday.  In fact, the Australian actor, 76, confessed on The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show that the pair used to always “argue about things” on set. “Tom was 25 and I was 40. You know, he’d go, ‘Why are you arguing with me on this? Why are you arguing about this thing?’ And I’d say, ‘Because I know better than you.’ He’d say, ‘Why do you know better than me?’ I’d say, ‘Because I’m 40 and…

Victoria and David news Beckham’s marriage is under pressure yet again, as notorious cheating allegations between the footballer and his former personal assistant, Rebecca Loos, have been brought back into the limelight thanks to their bombshell Netflix documentary. In the four-part series, which dropped on the streaming giant late last week, a teary Posh, 49, openly spoke about the pain she felt when David, 48, was rumoured to have had an affair with Rebecca 20 years ago. “I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was a nightmare,” she says in the series. “It was the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life.” Rebecca, 46, a former glamour model, began working with the Beckhams in 2003, and gained…

Cuddling the tiny newborn in the maternity unit, Sharon Shelford was overcome with joy. Precious Indi was the longed-for baby of Sharon’s youngest-ever breast cancer patient, Bonnie McLean. “I went straight up and had a cuddle while they were still in the maternity unit because I was that emotionally attached,” Sharon, who has been a McGrath nurse since 2009, tells Woman’s Day. “I knew how far Bonnie had come and how important this baby was for her.” Bonnie was just 26 – the same age as Sharon’s son – and planning her wedding when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. “My first thought was, will I ever be able to have kids? Then I found out I’d have to have chemo and lose my hair. I’d been growing…

KATE MOSS’ star soared a few years after the original supers. Known for her hedonistic lifestyle and boyfriends including Johnny Depp, the 49-year-old was photographed taking cocaine in 2005 while dating Pete Doherty. She was dropped by several campaigns but not charged. KAREN MULDER, 53, was one of the original Victoria’s Secret Angels. The Dutch model fell into a coma in 2002 after overdosing on sleeping pills. She spent several months in a psychiatric hospital, and in 2009 was arrested for threatening to attack her plastic surgeon. THE SUPER MODELS is streaming on Apple TV…

Letting go of the guilt AMANDA SAYS Cally tells me she passed five years ago and had been with the family since she was a puppy. Cally wasn’t happy when she passed, as she felt there was a misdiagnosis from the vet. She tells me that she actually belonged to Helen’s daughter and was bought for her birthday. Helen’s mum comes through and tells Helen she picked Cally up when she passed over. Cally has a great sense of humour – she laughs and tells me she used to bark at the door like she wanted to go out and then when you would open the door, she would run back inside like she was laughing. Another dog who has passed comes through. His name is Sam and he’s a…

Remember when Justin Timberlake was caught getting cosy with co-star Alisha Wainwright on a night out in 2019? Just when his wife Jessica Biel thought infidelity rumours were behind them, the couple have been rocked by new flirty claims from Rachel Bilson. Justin and Jess, 41 – who share sons Silas, eight, and Phineas, three – were seen looking pretty stressed on a recent date night in Rome. “Justin looked furious as they left,” says an insider. “It was the first time they’d been out in weeks.” The OC’s Rachel Bilson, 42, recently opened up on her Broad Ideas podcast about an embarrassing encounter with the singer at a party in the early 2000s where he tried to flirt with her. At the time, Justin and Jess were not together.…

Towards the end of 2008, you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing the name Stephanie Rice. The then-20-year-old had just won three Olympic Gold medals in Beijing, set world records – including becoming the first woman to swim under 4.30 minutes in the 400m individual medley – and had just signed a TV contract rumoured to be worth $800,000 with Seven. However, only six years later, Steph’s professional life would drastically change course. Propelled by a shoulder injury and a now-infamous tweet that saw her lose sponsorship deals and issue a public apology in 2010, Steph retired from swimming at just 25. And while she may have “made peace with those experiences” a long time ago, the star hopes her appearance on SAS Australia – Seven’s bold reality series that sees…

Shot at her home Jill Dando was one of the UK’s most recognisable faces. She was the BBC’s golden girl, with millions of viewers tuning in to watch her present Crimewatch, where she sought to expose criminals.  Sadly though, in 1999, Jill was to appear on the show not as a presenter but as a victim after being shot dead in cold blood as she returned to her home in Fulham, West London. She was 37. Her door-step execution – which occurred in broad daylight – left the nation shocked and saddened. Almost 25 years on, her murder remains unsolved… until now. The release of a new three-part Netflix documentary, Who Killed Jill Dando?, re-examines what happened on that fateful day and raises multiple theories as to a motive and…

ONLY IN WOMAN’S DAY SHELLEY CRAFT The Aging Project Navigating the complex world of weight and wellness can be challenging, with a multitude of opinions and strategies. This week on The Aging Project, I spoke with Davinia Taylor, the brilliant author behind It’s Not A Diet. Together, we explored the profound realm of sustainable weight balance and the pursuit of becoming our healthiest selves. Davinia’s wellness philosophy hinges on the concept of mindful eating, a practice that encourages the embrace of whole, unprocessed foods to nurture our bodies and discover the elusive balance we all seek. This holistic approach underscores that a one-size-fits-all strategy simply doesn’t apply to wellness. One remarkable revelation was her nightly routine, which includes indulging in carbohydrates for enhanced sleep quality. It’s a truly brilliant…

What is Aerre? Aerre is a new online perfume brand that makes perfumes inspired by famous luxury fragrances, designed to deliver the exact same scent experience as the original. What urged you to launch these budget-friendly fragrances? A friend once told me how the cost of the actual liquid that goes into a luxury perfume is typically only $3 to $5. Since then, we’ve been obsessed with the idea of recreating those same scents ourselves, with the goal of making luxury fragrances accessible to everyone! How are your costs kept low? The majority of the price of a luxury perfume goes towards big marketing budgets, celebrity endorsements, fancy packaging and shelf space in large retail stores. We skip all that, focusing only on the ingredients and delivering a luxury quality…

HOT OFF THE PRESS • HOT OFF THE PRESS • HOT OFF THE PRESS • HOT OFF THE PRESS Model under fire Elle Macpherson’s wellness brand WelleCo has been slammed by customers waiting months to receive its beauty products and supplements, with some suggesting the Aussie supermodel should be “horrified by the customer service” her company is offering.

Music icon Mick Jagger’s heirs were left reeling after the rocker hinted he may leave his multimillion-dollar fortune to charity instead of them! The 80-year-old Rolling Stones frontman says his eight “children don’t need [$800 million] to live well,” when asked if he’d considered selling the band’s extensive back catalogue of hit songs. Instead, Mick says leaving his mountains of money to charity could “maybe do some good in the world”. While some fans dubbed the surprise move “a slap in the face” for his kids – Karis, 52, Jade, 51, Elizabeth, 39, James, 38, Georgia May, 31, Gabriel, 25, Lucas, 24, and Deveraux, six – who were no doubt expecting a hefty inheritance, others applauded the superstar singer’s philanthropy. “Imagine how many people’s lives he could completely change with…

It was so popular that it won countless awards, was published in 34 countries and has been adapted for the stage. And yet despite its dizzying success, it wasn’t until it was announced that the book would be turned into a bigbudget series for Netflix that his daughters Beth and Sylvie would take any notice of their father’s ideas. “For them, literary fiction – forget about it! but Netflix, that’s their life!” Trent, 44, tells Woman’s Day of his family’s reaction to watching the trailer for the upcoming TV adaptation of his bestseller starring Simon Baker.…
