Editor’s LETTER Oh no – she’s done it again! Actress Jennifer Lawrence just can’t stay upright when she goes to the Oscars! She went head-over-heels on the red carpet last week (bottom left) and at the 2013 awards dramatically tripped on the stairs as she went to accept her award for best actress (bottom right). Even at this year’s Golden Globes, she dropped a diamond bracelet on the floor! But she always laughs off her mishaps, and it’s good to see that glam stars can be clumsy just like us!…

Former Strictly star Lisa Riley stepped out last week looking happy and confident, but behind the smile she’s masking a pain that’s evident in her recent weight gain. Clearly having piled on a few pounds in recent months, Lisa told pals, ‘I know I comfort eat.’ And it’s not surprising. With her work as a presenter on the latest Strictly tour finished, Lisa, 37, has finally left behind the show she adores, which has seen her through one of the hardest times in her life: the heartache of losing her beloved mum, Cath, to cancer only weeks before Lisa’s debut on the show in 2012. The star has since gone from strength to strength professionally, but with her work commitments it’s doubtful she’s had time to grieve properly. Pals admit that dancing…

When you’re busy last thing you want to think about is a divorce. But thanks to a proposed new law, many loved-up couples could soon be preparing to split up before they’ve even walked down the aisle. The Law Commission has recently recommended making prenuptial agreements legal in the UK. As the law currently stands, couples can make one, but may find it doesn’t stand up in court. That’s mine... Prenups are basically an agreed list of who gets what if the marriage ends in divorce. Talk about making romance materialistic! You can picture it now, declaring everlasting love at the altar but smugly knowing the king-sized bed and Magimix blender are yours if things go wrong. But then, prenups have long been used by celebrities in the States, where…

MISSED BREAKFAST When you leave it too long before eating in the morning, your body and brain will be desperate for fuel and you’re likely to grab something unhealthy and calorie-laden, like a Danish or a muffin. SOLVE IT Hold off on the pastry and drink a skinny latte (around 150 cals) instead. Unlike most drinks, milky coffees have quite a bit of hunger-curbing potential because of the milk protein they contain. Once the edge is off your hunger, you can make choices based on your head, not just your stomach. SLIMLINE SNACK Grab-and-go breakfast biscuits are an acceptable fall-back solution for when you really are too busy to eat properly first thing. Try Belvita biscuits (£1.50 for six), which have been scientifically tested and are guaranteed to release their…

1 You really are what you eat Stick to a Mediterranean diet because fruit and veg, oily fish, olive oil and nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids thought to help prevent or delay Alzheimer’s. And best of all, even red wine is thought to promote fatty acids in the blood. But keep your drinking down to six medium glasses of wine a week - any more than that can increase your blood pressure and make you fat, both of which are major risk factors for dementia. 2 Bust the stress The higher your stress levels in your forties and forties, the more likely you are to be at risk from dementia later in life, according to a study of 800 women in sweden. The culprit is the stress hormone…

NAMED & SHAMED Switching to a cheaper energy deal might save you money, but what if the service is rubbish? That’s why this week, we reveal the energy suppliers with the worst service record. Indeed, customer satisfaction with energy firms is currently at its lowest level, according to consumer group Which?, but some have performed worse than others. For the third year running npower has scored the lowest, followed by British Gas, SSE, Scottish Power, EDF Energy and E.ON. And at the top come two small energy suppliers – Good Energy and Ecotricity. It is definitely worthwhile considering this and other customer service surveys like it when you are looking around for the best energy deals available.

Seeing my little sister April step up on to the stage I just couldn’t stop the tears. It was such an incredibly special moment – her graduation day. But what made it all the more emotional was that in doing it, she’d honoured our very brave mum’s dying wish… Back in September 2009 our family had been plunged into a nightmare when our mother, May, had been diagnosed with lung cancer. There was me, my big brother Peter, then 22, and April, 18. She’d just started a sociology degree at Plymouth University and had raced home to Biggin Hill, Kent, to be there with us all. When Mum started chemo, April returned to carry on her studies, calling every day for updates. Only when she next came home, for Christmas,…

I was just settling down to a nice Friday night in. I’d finished all my housework and had logged on to the computer for a couple of games of bingo while I relaxed. My tips for new members Join in with the chat! It’s really friendly and the roomies are good fun. It’s such an easy site to use and if you have any questions, just ask the hosts.

Get on with it Why do celebs expect sympathy for having to claim benefits? First Linda Nolan and now Danniella Westbrook, who may have been married to a wealthy man, but she should have had her own money too. I am sure she could earn enough via the celeb circuit. If not, get down to the Jobcentre like everyone else! Jennifer Sheldon, Leicester Fresh start I got divorced over 25 years ago, and raised two loving daughters. I thought once I’d retired that being grandparent would be all I had to look forward to. But I’ve realised that not working can be a lot of fun! I now have so many activities, and friends to enjoy them with. The world is still your oyster! Linda Birchill, Somerset So unnecessary Well…

Pick your suspect EastEnders is set to kill off Lucy Beale – paving the way for a whodunit storyline. Lucy, played by Hetti Bywater, will meet her demise in the next few weeks, but viewers will have to wait a year before learning the killer’s identity. Bookies have Lauren Branning as the favourite, with Peter Beale and Denise Fox in the frame too. Dot Cotton is the 500-1 outsider… but anything is possible in Albert Square. Back on?

Sheer genius Cate Blanchett, 44, upped the glamour stakes as she scooped the award for best actress in this beautiful beaded Armani gown. Ageless elegance Meryl Streep, 64, proves she’s still got it in a two-tone Lanvin design. The embellished belt shows off her waist while the black skirt with pleat detail has a slimming effect.

To say that Jane McDonald wasn’t expecting pictures of herself in a bikini to make the news is an understatement! Woman’s Own caught up with Jane, 50, as she prepares to release a new album, The Singer Of Your Song, and go on tour, to talk about those pictures, leaving Loose Women and finally having time to spend with her beloved mum Jean. We thought you looked great in your bikini in Barbados, but from your blog you sounded really disappointed! Well, I think the camera never lies and I was shocked. In my head I thought I looked fab. But you did look fab! Oh behave yourself. I looked great from the back, I thought, ’That’s a great derriére’, but then when I turned around I was like, ’What…

Staring at the screen, I couldn’t believe it – the perfect man was up for sale! It was February last year and I’d been single for five months. I had a nice rented fat in St Helens, Merseyside, and a good job as an analyst for a water company. A bloke to go home to was the only thing missing. Then I spotted the advert online. A dating website was offering a week’s subscription for free. I’d never tried internet dating before. I was just too shy, a quiet only child who’d grown up in her own company. But this was a tempting opportunity. Maybe I could find The One for free. So I created a profile, and agonised over which photos to upload. It didn’t take long before a…

My office nightmare My work recently moved into refurbished offices and I’m sure the combination of fluorescent lighting, white desks and bright white walls have triggered four migraines in the past fortnight. I told my boss and he just shrugged and said he’d ask facilities to look into it, but I’ve heard nothing. Do I have a right to ask them to change the lighting? I’ve had to go home each time and I’m worried about using up my sick days! Maddy, 32, Northumberland Worry no more, Maddy. You have a strong case for asking your boss to do more than just ‘look into it’. Under the Equality Act of 2010, your workplace must make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to make sure your working conditions are healthy. Visit migrainetrust.org and have a…

Doctors believe some 1.3 million of us Brits now struggle with a binge-eating disorder. But do we need psychiatric help to stop? Christopher Fairburn, a professor of psychiatry at Oxford University, says it could take more than willpower to beat the habit. ‘When binge eating, people can’t stop once they’ve started – and many can’t resist starting in the first place,’ he says. Jo Allott, 34, a civil service worker, had cognitive behavioural therapy to stop her comfort eating. Jo, who is single and from Milton Keynes, is also a voluntary counsellor for Eating Disorders Support, Bucks. Here is her story… Food-obsessed During my worst ever binge-eating session I ate 11,000 calories, including a family-sized Galaxy bar, two bowls of cereal and an entire bag of pasta with four tins…

We all know staying healthy is important. But when three out of five of us in the UK have raised or abnormal levels of cholesterol*, a major risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease (CHD), it really is time to sit up and listen. Starting a new health regime can seem daunting, but it doesn’t need to be. Simply focus on three key aspects of a healthy lifestyle – lowering your cholesterol, keeping your bones strong and maintaining a healthy heart. All Benecol foods contain Plant Stanols, a cholesterol-lowering ingredient that works by partially blocking the uptake of cholesterol in the gut, so less gets absorbed in the bloodstream. Each Benecol yogurt drink contains 2g of Plant Stanols, and enjoying just one a day can lower your cholesterol…

I had to keep my light on for Dan It might sound stupid but the last thing I imagined I’d find on a dating show was true love. In fact, when I applied for ITV’s Take Me Out in September 2010, I really just thought it would be a bit of fun. I’d watched the show hosted by Paddy McGuinness lots of times. Men have to impress 30 single girls standing behind podiums. If the girls aren’t interested they turn off their lights giving the show’s catchphrase, ‘no likey, no lighty.’ It looked such a laugh and having been single for a few years, I reckoned I’d make a great candidate. working as an air stewardess, I managed to take some time off and went along to the studio in…

Debbie first heard about Quidco in 2007 from her husband Richard and has been making money ever since. She logs on for everything she wants to buy these days. ‘someone at Richard’s office recommended Quidco to him and he was so impressed by the website that he decided to sign up for an account,’ says Debbie. ‘when he told me about it, I followed suit and opened my own account. The first thing I bought was house insurance, andhen I sorted out my car insurance, too. I just couldn’t believe how easy it was.’ ‘I couldn’t believe how easy it was’ soon, Debbie was logging on to quidco.com whenever she wanted to buy anything. ‘I had looked at other sites in the past but they were far inferior to Quidco,’…

For Michael and Anita Heffernan, playing on Woman’s Own Bingo is a family affair. They both enjoy a few games and there’s even a bit of rivalry, as Michael has now scored two jackpot wins – much to Anita’s annoyance as she joined the site first! Copywriter Anita, 52, first played more than seven years ago. ‘I’ve seen a lot of changes in that time, as the site keeps getting bigger and better,’ she says. ‘There’s such a huge choice of games, although I still love playing the classics such as Bingo 20 and Bingo Lounge.’ Michael, 54, a painter and decorator, joined four years later. ‘Anita always leaves her magazines around and I can’t help having a peek,’ he admits. ‘Then glancing through Woman’s Own one day, I was…

Tucked away in the Kvarner region, on the north-eastern coast, you’ll find the tiny island of Rab, the rising star in Croatia’s crown. Just 14 miles long and seven wide, this verdant little island hideaway may be new to this generation but made the headlines back in June 1936. Just a few months after his accession, Edward VIII and his married lover, Wallis Simpson (left), dropped anchor here and were so taken with the clear waters of the Adriatic, they took off their clothes and swam naked off Kandarola Beach. The news shot round the world and little Rab Island is now credited by many as the home of naturism. Why go now? Rab is racing up the places of the see-and-be-seen list, so get there before the masses start…

Up the Creek Jonathan Creek star Alan Davies tells me his mind is like a sieve now he’s reached the ripe old age of 48. ‘I open the fridge and forget why I’m there. I stand at the door eating cheese until I remember,’ he laughs. There are times on the Daybreak sofa I think I’m still at home, which may explain the unchecked banter! Best of British He may have called time on hosting The Brits, but James Corden had a ball on holiday with pop mates Harry Styles and Gary Barlow at Ian Fleming’s old pad, Goldeneye. ‘We just chilled out,’ James told me. I’d have to be heavily medicated to relax with those lads in Jamaica! Sisterly love Dannii and Kylie Minogue made a rare appearance together…

NAUGHTY LIZ! Elizabeth Hurley, 48, has seemingly made a dig at former boyfriend Shane Warne, 44, following the cricketer’s rumoured dalliance with Ultimo lingerie boss Michelle Mone, 42. Elizabeth posted a shot taken from the 1968 movie Planet Of The Apes – which shows actor Charlton Heston kissing a female ape – along with the caption, ‘No accounting for taste.’ Ouch! Lucky B! Beyoncé, 32, certainly won’t be short of a few outfits to wear after being given the run of Topshop’s flagship London store for a three-hour spree. ‘She picked up clothes for herself, friends, family and her daughter,’ an insider said. We’d love to have seen the bill! Keen to make the most of her time in the city, the singer also found time to pop out for…

Former Strictly Come Dancing star Susanna Reid has been left ’angry « and embarrassed’ after her estranged partner, Dominic Cotton, created a profile on a dating website. The couple, who have been together for 15 years and have three sons, said in a statement that they ’have agreed to separate but remain friends. The welfare of their children Sam, 11, Finn, nine, and Jack, eight, is paramount.’ But it appears that Dominic has wasted no time at all in moving on. According to his profile on match.com, he is ‘currently separated’ and looking for a woman aged 35 to 45. Dominic writes, ‘Underneath my blokeish exterior I am a sensitive soul. I enjoy sharing things and am someone who doesn’t shy away from commitment. Life is for living with someone…

We had no idea there was anything wrong Hayley Stanley, 26, and her partner Steven Evans, 34, have two daughters, Hollie, six, and Poppie, three New Year’s Eve 2007 will forever be imprinted in my memory. Having just given birth for the first time, 10 days earlier, I was so happy with my daughter, Hollie. But that evening, the phone rang. It was the paediatrician calling with Hollie’s blood test results. ‘We’ve found something,’ she said. ‘Your daughter has Down’s syndrome.’ I’d need to come into the hospital for an appointment to talk it through. I came off the phone shaking and just ran to tell my partner Steven. We hadn’t noticed anything was wrong and nobody had said anything at the birth. Yet looking it up on the internet…

Tim Martin, therapist at the Harley Street Mind Boutique, says, ‘There can be a number of reasons why people turn to food for comfort – from marital problems to not feeling socially accepted and stresses at work. Bingeeating can also mask deeper problems that aren’t always apparent. When people eat for comfort, they tend to turn to carbs or sweets and the brain releases serotonin, the ‘happy hormone’, which gives a short-lived hit. But those with a binge-eating disorder will regularly need this hit and won’t stop eating until they have it. It’s a difficult cycle to get out of but there are various treatment options from CBT, a form of talk therapy, to hypnotherapy, detox programmes and colonic irrigation. The treatment depends on the individual but if left untreated,…

Don’t I look great? Tiny waist, voluptuous breasts, long legs and silky brown hair… I’m proud of my size 10 body. Yet here’s my problem. I’ve modelled all my life and now I can’t get any work. And the reason? Because I’m 50 and I look too young! Go on, scoff, tell me I’m kidding myself. But I’ve got the proof. In 2011, aged 47, after over 25 years working as a successful catwalk and magazine model, I decided to do a three-day lingerie shoot. My dad had recently died and the shock of it had made me re-evaluate my life. I’d always juggled my modelling assignments with my fulltime job as a pharmacist. Now, I decided to ditch the pharmacy and work solely in front of the cameras. The…

The giant boxing gloves appeared out of nowhere and kept trying to knock me off the ledge. But I clung on, edging along the huge inflatable. Then wham, one got me and I fell face down into the mud! It doesn’t sound the most likely start to romance but that first day on TV’s Total Wipeout assault course turned my life around. It was 2008 when I’d applied to take part in what was then a new take on the It’s A Knockout-type of programme. Twenty contestants had to battle through different challenges in order to take home the £10,000 prize. Connection I was 20, a university student, and had seen the advert to take part online. Filming was in Argentina and I thought it sounded fun. But as I…

We caught up with the actress on the eve of her explosive return to Emmerdale as Donna Dingle, and she can’t wait to get her teeth stuck into some serious drama. But what’s it like back on set after a five-year absence? We sat down with Verity, 28, to talk induction parties, what’s in store for Donna, and why her long-distance relationship with her hubby is a good thing… You left Emmerdale in 2009 after 11 years – what made you come back? I left to do lots of theatre, and having done eight shows and lots of different roles, I knew it was a good time to come back. I was doing Chicago, and just before Christmas my agent phoned me and said, ‘It’s a bit of an odd…

Fashion disaster I went to my first premiere with [then girlfriend] Jade Goody, wearing a green zip-up H&M top with a beige jacket – at the time, I thought I looked great but now I shake my head in disbelief, it still haunts me. I looked like I was off for a game of paintball, not to a red-carpet event. Car A burnt-orange Escort, which was falling apart and covered in rust. It was capable of going far too quickly for me and I duly wrote it off when I drove into the back of a Volvo about six months later. Luckily, I escaped without a scratch. Drunken night out I think it was very similar to a lot of other people’s – sat in my local park drinking cheap…
