Cheeky TV presenter Richard Madeley has revealed his secret crush – on a Strictly star! He said, ‘Ladies of a certain age can make male pulses quicken. Fiona Fullerton looks more and more sultry on Strictly Come Dancing.’ I must admit, I think he’s dead right, because former Bond girl Fiona, 57, looks simply amazing and her dresses get better every show. I remember her starring with Sir Roger Moore in A View To A Kill and envied her looks then – and almost 30 years on, I still do!…

Hello yellow Anna Friel, 37, looks bright and beautiful. The ft-andfare ’50s style is given a modern twist with its high, see-through neckline. Blue crush Sheer chiffon and velvet are a winning combination. Katie Holmes, 34, shows just a hint of skin in this knee-skimming number. Green goddess Looking glamorous in deep emerald, Kim Kardashian, 32, opts for a crushed velvet wrap style that skims over her famous curves. Purple reign Model Iman, 58, shows off her statuesque figure in a two-piece suit. The chunky gold necklace and clutch bag make perfect partners to this rich amethyst shade. Pink lady Trust Sarah Jessica Parker, 48, to be one of the first celebrities to debut the velvet trend. We’ve got serious frock envy over this pink maxi dress. Get the LOOK Boutique…

GORGEOUS GEORGE Who can blame Kate and Wills for being so smitten – as the official christening snaps prove, Prince George is one gorgeous baby! The happy family posed for the portraits, taken by top celeb photographer Jason Bell, alongside the royals and the Middletons. Despite his less-than-impressed face at the christening, George turned on the charm for the camera, and at one point waved his arms with a big smile. It’s no wonder his parents (and the rest of us) can’t get enough of the future king! No way back! As we reported last week, Kym Lomas has now begun divorce proceedings to end her year-long marriage to Jamie. The Corrie actress, 37, has allegedly cited his ‘unreasonable behaviour’ as grounds for the split, despite the fact that she is accused…

She may be a comedy queen in the UK, but Dawn Firench is finding out that life overseas is tougher than she imagined. The actress, 56, has just wrapped flming on Australia’s Got Talent, where she was brought in to give the show some star power – but the programme suffered from disastrous ratings, which some critics have even described as embarrassing. To add insult to injury, viewers have been less than kind about Dawn, calling her decision to judge the show ‘career suicide’. Dawn, who married Mark Bignell in April, appeared to be loving her stay in Oz, and has formed close bonds with fellow Brit judge Geri Halliwell. The pair have shared adorable snaps of each other and regularly stand up for one another in the heat of…

Hannah Barrett, 17, is fghting hard to remain in the competition, after several emotionally charged performances. We caught up with the former Greggs worker to find out what it’s like having Nicole Scherzinger as a mentor, and why she calls Gary Barlow ‘grandpa’… Are you getting recognised everywhere now? Yeah, a lot! I was in Asda the other day – down the biscuit aisle because I really love custard creams – and an old woman came up to me and said, ‘You look like the girl from The X Factor!’ I had to tell her, ‘That’s because I am’. It’s all still so bizarre. What’s the best fireebie you’ve been given so far? We get a lot of fireebies – we got some cool Bluetooth headphones the other day. I…

Zoë Ball counts down the days until Strictly Come Dancing is back so she can take her place on the It Takes Two sofa! As a former contestant herself, Zoë knows what it feels like when a routine doesn’t go according to plan. Woman’s Own caught up with Zoë, 42, who lives in Hove with her husband, norman, and their two children, Woody, 12, and nelly, three, for a gossip – and she gave us her verdict on this year’s Strictly, what the contestants are really like and why she can’t avoid the sequins… If you had to name the one thing you loved the most about presenting It Takes Two, what would it be? I can’t pick out one thing because I love the whole shebang and I get really excited…
