Richard Madeley has burst back onto our screens recently, with the TV veteran regularly filling in for loud-mouthed Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan. But whereas during his previous 21 years presenting on TV, he always had his wife Judy Finnigan by his side to help rein in his frank opinions and rather free-form style, he’s now been left to his own devices, and we’re told friends fear it could all be getting on top of the 62-year-old. In pictures exclusively obtained by Woman’s Own , the presenter can be seen enjoying a glass of wine alone in a beer garden, and while he may have had friends inside, it’s evident from these pictures Richard looks glum and lonely. ‘Judy’s had enough of showbiz’ ‘Richard is…

Whether you’re already in the stages of planning a consultation, or simply have questions about what’s involved, there’s nothing more beneficial than a first-hand account of how fillers can work for you. Carol Dunbar, 53, has been having facial fillers for eight years – this is her story. What made you decide to explore the idea of having facial fillers? At 45, I started to notice a loss of volume in my face: the glow of my youth had disappeared and I felt I looked tired all the time. Luckily, a lot of my friends who are slightly older than me had already been using treatments, including Juvéderm fillers, so I was able to see the results and I liked what I saw. Having an experienced medical practitioner to do…

RENEE ZELLWEGER In 2016, Renée firmly shut down rumours about her craving a child after playing the role of a mother in Bridget Jones’s Baby . She explained that, while she was in a film about a woman having a baby, her own views were different; ‘I’ve never been that deliberate about my life and the things that I would require in order to be happy.’ CAMERON DIAZ She revealed in 2014 that not having children made life easier. ‘It’s so much more work to have children… Not having a baby might really make things easier, but that doesn’t make it an easy decision,’ she said. JENNIFER ANISTON Jen has been criticised in the past for not having children. In 2014 she said, ‘You may not have…

AMANDA HOLDEN Looking at her Instagram, you could mistake Amanda, 47, for a fitness blogger. But she’s said, ‘You have to enjoy life. I eat everything. Drink everything. I had a friend who didn’t make it to her 50s and her biggest regret was she spent her life on a diet. I don’t diet.’ MYLEENE KLASS Myleene, 40, has an enviably svelte figure, but the mum-of-two has insisted, ‘You can’t deny yourself little pleasures. I’ve got a crazy affair with the cupboard of sin at home.’ ANDREA MCLEAN Loose Women panellist Andrea, 48, did lose weight in 2008 with a diet, and she’s managed to keep it off, despite recently claiming, ‘I’m a biscuit monster. There are always biscuits in the Loose Women studio.’ JANET STREET-PORTER Janet, 71, has always…

Even now I can still remember the first time I saw Stacie. It was 2000, and I was just 20 years old and working in a salad factory. I’d been there for two weeks when I was put on the production line. Stacie, then 18, was standing weighing lettuce leaves. It may not sound like a romantic setting, but when I peered over the machinery and caught sight of her piercing blue eyes I felt my face flush red. I was delighted when, a couple of weeks later, she made a point of inviting me on a work night out to the pub. After a few hours, I finally plucked up the courage to kiss her. I knew it was cheeky, but luckily the gamble paid off and within a…

With Dr Google at our fingertips 24/7, it’s easy to get carried away and believe a niggling ache is something more serious. But when should we really worry? ‘Pain is an individual experience,’ says Dr Judith Holmes, who has a private GP practice at Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull. ‘None of us knows what pain feels like to others – this makes it difficult to measure, so what’s important to your doctor is how your pain affects you.’ And, as pain can be felt distant to the source (known as ‘referred pain’), it’s important to see your GP if you have any unexplained symptoms. Here are some of the most common ones… Is it a stomach ulcer or just heartburn? ‘Heartburn and ulcers cause pain in…

Ant McPartlin has reportedly found love with his former personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett, and it’s clear that his estranged wife, Lisa Armstrong, is less than happy about it. Lisa, 41, opened up to her followers on Twitter and revealed that she found out Ant, 42, was in a relationship the same way the public did when the media broke the story. She even said she’d considered Anne-Marie to have been her friend. ‘To think she was MY friend!! My friend and OUR PA, who I let into OUR home,’ Lisa wrote on the social media site. It has also been claimed that Lisa’s parents have moved in with her as news of her husband of 11 years moving on ‘has really taken its toll’. Ant is yet to comment on…

‘I’d go to KFC five times a week’ Watching my husband’s face as I opened up my first anniversary gift, I could tell how excited he was. But as I tore open the wrapping paper, I felt a lump forming in my throat. ‘Thanks,’ I choked, trying my best to sound convincing. But Rob, now 39, frowned. ‘Don’t you like it?’ he asked. ‘It’s lovely,’ I lied, holding back tears. Rob had blown up our wedding photo onto an A4 canvas. For any other newlywed, it would be a thoughtful gift, but all I could see was my body bursting out of my size 28 dress. Before, the photo had been safely hidden away in the wedding album in the bottom of my wardrobe. As a child I'd been slim,…

Negative thoughts Q We have had a difficult year with family illness and financial problems. Somehow I have kept it together and we seem to be pulling through. But weirdly, just as things are improving and I should be relieved, I am feeling really down. I wake in the early hours and negative thoughts go round and round in my head. What is wrong with me? A You could be developing a reactive depression to the life events of the last year. It is not uncommon for people to get through a challenging time almost on a wave of adrenaline and then struggle when things are apparently looking brighter. Early morning wakening and negative thinking are typical features of depression. Please make an appointment to see your GP and get…

My mother makes me feel guilty Q My mother is a very needy person. I am married with young kids and she still insists we have a call every night and that I come over for lunch on Sundays. If I refuse a Sunday, she tells me I will be sorry when she’s dead and then cries. I constantly dread her calls and feel hugely guilty, and then angry when I am with her. My husband says I need to stand up for myself. I know he’s right, but she’s still my mother. Hannah, 38, Herts A After so long it’s unlikely you will ever get your mother to see that the way that she behaves is wrong. However, for your own sake it’s time to tell her how her…

As a woman in a nearby ward screamed deafeningly during her labour, I breathed a sigh of relief. I’d just woken up in my hospital bed, and hearing her cries reaffirmed the fact that I’d made the right decision – after 10 years of asking for the operation, I’d finally been sterilised. Now I would never need to worry about having a baby. For as long as I could remember, the idea of being a mum hadn’t appealed, and as I got older, that feeling didn’t change. I was well informed about the facts of life as my own mum works in healthcare. When I learned about sterilisation in sex education at school aged 10, I immediately thought it was a good option. Arguing with doctors Later, people would try…

1 Get your coffee fix  Seattle has more coffee shops than any other city, and is home to the first-ever Starbucks. Established in 1971 at Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle, the store has kept its early appearance over time with its original mermaid logo on the window. Dubbed the ‘Willy Wonka factory of coffee,’ there’s a Starbucks reserve roastery and tasting room (roastery.starbucks.com), which offers a one-of-a-kind drinks menu. All of the rare coffees are roasted on site and it’s a mesmerising experience, located just nine blocks from the original store. 2 Explore Capitol Hill  Just east of downtown Seattle, you’ll find a colourful urban scene.

So Nicola McLean wears pyjamas on the school run! I couldn’t believe it when I read it. What message does that give children? That you can’t be bothered to factor in five extra minutes to pull on some jeans? How embarrassing for her kids. Karen Richards, Cardiff Your plus-size special in the 25 June issue was fantastic.
