‘I sense impending messiness!’ Ever wondered what Phillip schofield looks like without all his TV slap on? well, wonder no more. Phil, 50, tweeted this snap of his bare face in response to a follower asking what he’d look like with any cosmetics. ‘99 per cent of my pics on here are make-up free!’ he remarked. If that wasn’t enough, Phil teased us with his cocktail-making, tweeting, ‘oh dear, I seem to be mixing margaritas for the family, I sense impending messiness!’ Tryst-y business We’ve all been wondering why Fern Britton’s chef husband Phil Vickery wasn’t in the audience supporting his wife when she took part in Strictly. Fern’s finally revealed that they mutually agreed on his absence. She says she told him, ‘You make me nervous in the studio,…

In a strange turn of events, Katie Price, 34, has become the voice of mothers everywhere as she wages a new battle of the mums with Victoria Beckham. In a recent interview, Posh, 38, listed her hands-on parenting schedule. A suspicious Katie said, ‘You never see Victoria looking anything less than immaculate and there is no way you can achieve that, day in, day out, without help if you’re a working mum with four kids.’ According to the article, Victoria gets up at 6.15am, has a peppermint tea and an espresso before doing the school run at 7.15am, then working until 4pm, when she collects the kids, feeds them, and either takes them to after-school activities or helps out with their homework. ‘I’m sure Victoria is a brilliant mum and…

The sophisticated ‘I mean business’ Trust Posh to be ahead of the fashion pack. Victoria Beckham, 38, gives a timeless monochrome outfit a twist by perching her military coat on her shoulders. Team it with a classic white shirt to keep it work-smart. The cool cover-up Even US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, 63, has been spotted ‘sleeveless’. This statement piece would be overpowering worn normally, but here the dress is the focus. The boyfriend Gwen Stefani, 43, shows us how to work an on-trend Crombie-style number the 2013 way. The knee-length cut makes the singer look taller and slims her silhouette. The understated Scarlett Johansson, 28, is the very picture of elegance in her black ensemble. A coat worn over the shoulders makes this classic LBD look even more glamorous.…

JENNIFER ‘Kim definitely looks the best. I think her boxy-style jacket and shoulder pads work really well with her outfit. However Gwen just appears to have no arms! It seems a bit weird.’ BETH ‘Gwen Stefani looks really cool and her coat seems best suited to this perched look. I’m not sure I could go to the supermarket like this, though. I’d be worried my coat was going to fall off!’ GRACE ‘Shoulder-robing works brilliantly with eveningwear, like Scarlett and Gemma. I’d be tempted to try this style to go out for dinner – it’s so simple, yet amazingly chic.’ Win! A biker jacket Whether you wear it like a celebrity or the usual way, this Matalan biker jacket is a stylish option for the spring. We have five to…

Fiery This Morning husband and wife team Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford have been at it again – with Eamonn declaring, ‘Ruth can’t control her outbursts!’ The pair, who’ve been together for 15 years and married for nearly three, came to blows while discussing comments from the romantic novelist Barbara Taylor Bradford, who said that the secret to marital bliss was to back down from arguments. ‘You think that you control men, but men let you control them,’ Eamonn told his wife, adding, ‘It doesn’t stop me arguing with you.’ Cunning ploy But Ruth, 53, is well-known for standing up to Eamonn, 53, and was having none of it. Echoing the thoughts of married women around the UK, she retorted, ‘If I kowtowed to him, if every time he did…
