Karen and Kevin STRICTLY TENSION! Working with your ex was never going to be easy, but a TV insider has told Woman that the atmosphere between Strictly’s Kevin and Karen Clifton is ‘totally cold’. Karen, 36, and Kevin, 35, both returned to this year’s Strictly Come Dancing , despite ending their two-year marriage last year. ‘They work together but it’s obvious that they don’t like each other,’ reveals our source. ‘Kevin is really popular with the gang, but he doesn’t want any bad feeling to seep into the troupe.’ Having completed two runs of their dance tour, Kevin And Karen Live , both dancers know they’re stronger as a brand together than on their own. ‘Kevin’s…

Richard Arnold The GMB star, 48, surprised viewers when a pic of him as a child was shown. But he’s still got that cheeky smile! Piers Morgan The usually stern-faced GMB presenter, 53, was left red-faced when a cute childhood snap was shared on the show. Coleen Nolan The 53-year-old has said how much she hates this picture of herself aged 10 – but there’s absolutely no denying that it’s her! The youngest of The Nolan sisters previously described her dress and ‘clumpy shoes’ as ‘horrible’. Claudia…

1 Square up You’ll find checks everywhere this season, so there will be plenty of ways to give them a go. A coat is a great introduction to the heritage trend – just stick to muted colours. 2 Hats off Switch your beanie for a fedora. Stylish and practical, they’re perfect for windy days when umbrellas are a no-go. 3 Second skin Looking for an update on classic leather? Rich autumnal shades such as burgundy, navy and dark green are a luxe alternative. A knee-length skirt, relaxed-fitting trousers and biker jackets are key buys.

Look chic not cheap with simple block-heel designs,…

Porcelain skin GET THE GLOW: A matte finish is the enemy of porcelain skin, making it appear dull and flat. Add dimension to your complexion, along with a healthy glow, by dotting a touch of serum over the top of your foundation – on the tops of cheekbones and on the centre of your forehead and chin. WE LIKE: Nspa Expert Rejuvenating Serum, £10. Fair skin BRIGHTEN EYES: Your eyeshadow mantra should be ‘less is more’. Ditch heavy black liners and matte shadows that look overdone on lighter features, and swap them for creamy nudes with a subtle, shimmery finish. These will brighten eyes without overpowering them. A little grey liner on your upper lash line is all the definition you need. WE LIKE: Revlon ColorStay Crème Eyeshadow in Caramel,…

If proof were needed that celebs breathe different air than us mortals take a look at Mark Wahlberg’s typical day. He posted it on Instagram as part of a Q&A session. It raises so many questions. What is the point of getting up at 2.30am unless you are a bin man? What snack is so intense it requires ‘cryo chamber recovery’. And do his four kids actually want to spend two hours every morning with such a Grade A *******?…

There’s no doubt that 47-year-old Susanna Reid is looking incredible right now – and it’s partly down to her mission to give up the booze. The Good Morning Britain presenter looks noticeably slimmer since returning from her summer break from the show and our fitness expert believes she’s dropped to a size 8-10. So, how has she done it? DITCHING THE BOOZE Susanna, who is challenging herself to not drink alcohol for the whole of September and is using the app No More Hangovers to track her progress, made the revelation to co-host Piers Morgan that she’s lost 14lb since she started her health kick. But co-hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Kate Garraway tell Woman her weight loss began earlier. ‘It’s over summer she lost it,’ Charlotte…

‘THE RISE OF THE SILVER SINGLE GENERATION’ Divorce rates among the over-50s have almost doubled in the last decade, meaning more women are becoming part of the ‘silver single’ generation than ever before. And, the good news is, they are loving it. In fact, one in six over-50s are now turning to online dating services. Even celebrities are embracing the dating game. Former Countdown star, Carol Vorderman, 57, has launched her own segment on ITV’s Lorraine – Carol Vorderman: My Single Life . Carol, who split from on-off lover Graham Duff, who is 14 years her junior, revealed she dates toyboys and has no interest in ‘finding a keeper’. The presenter, who has been married twice before, added that she is actually happy…

Stepping out onto the board, I took a deep breath as I braced myself. I was several feet off the ground, about to take my first swing on a trapeze. Though I was clipped onto a safety line and could see the crash mats below me, the nerves were raging in my body. At 40, I’d never been so anxious in my life, but I’d come too far to give up now. So I rubbed some chalk on my hands, grabbed the trapeze rigging, and took my first swing… As a child, I’d loved gymnastics. I mastered all the different moves and did a couple of competitions, but when I turned 15, I became too distracted with exams and the stresses of being a teenager. So, I quit. ‘EACH WEEK…

HE’S A DANGER TO THE WHOLE FAMILY Q My daughter has a real dilemma. She and her lovely husband are about to have their first baby. The problem is that her father-in-law is a bully and thinks he rules the family. He abused his family when he was young – we don’t know if he still hits his wife but she’s clearly scared of him. What’s brought this to a head is that he thinks vaccines are a lie and tells his son if he tries to have the baby vaccinated, he’ll intervene. Her mother-in-law wants to give them all the support she can, and says she’ll babysit any time. But they don’t want that man in their house, so how can they keep him away when she comes over…

WHICH DOG BREED IS RIGHT FOR ME? With over 300 recognised dog breeds in the world, and many more cross-breeds, there’s a dog out there for everyone. While a dog’s breed alone cannot guarantee that it will act a certain way, it can provide a good indication. We can get other clues by meeting their parents and, if possible, by meeting the dog itself. Even as a puppy, a dog’s personality can often shine through. If it is an option, adopting an adult dog from a re-homing centre is one of the best ways to find a dog that suits your lifestyle. Examine your routine and work out how much daily exercise you will be able to provide. And factor in the time that it will take to keep your…

Sitting down in front of the television with my hubby Mark, 44, back in January, I sighed with relief. It had been a long day, but now I wanted to put my feet up and play a game of bingo on my tablet. I’d been playing bingo for years and have had so much joy out of it, especially playing online on Woman Bingo. As I tapped the screen of my tablet to begin the Sapphire game, I smiled over at Mark, who was watching TV. ‘The room is very busy tonight,’ I said. Moments later, a congratulations banner flashed up on my screen. ‘I’ve won the Full House!’ I screamed. ‘Are you serious?’ Mark asked. ‘Yes! I squealed back. Overwhelmed, I jumped up in joy and screamed at Mark…

Comedian Noel Fielding is currently co-hosting C4’s The Great British Bake Off alongside fellow comic Sandi Toksvig. Here, Noel reveals what impact the job has had on him… Where do you find the inspiration for your jokes and links? Sandi and I live happily together like Morecambe and Wise! That’s not true, but we do test material on Sandi’s teen daughter, Mary. Bless her, she’s got homework. We avoid puns because [former GBBO hosts] Mel and Sue were so good at them. I did a charity gig with Sue and it was like a weird Bake Off supergroup. How did you find going from cult comedy into the Bake Off limelight? It’s weird being in a mainstream zone. People who watched The…

The first ever episode This Morning first aired on 3 October 1988, live from Albert Dock in Liverpool. Hosts Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan announced it as being ‘something for all the family’. Their first celebrity guest was Paul Nicholas (above). Richard M in da house! Richard Madeley went down in This Morning history in 2000 when he dressed as Ali G after he was mocked for not having changed his hairstyle in 10 years. Richard even had a conversation with Judy in character – complete with Ali G’s accent! Alison’s ‘interview’ with Meghan and Harry Alison Hammond had viewers in hysterics when she tried to interview Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at their first public engagement in Nottingham last year. After Harry awkwardly…

Woman agony aunt Suzie Hayman says: ‘Dating in your 50s in many ways is no different from in your 20s. You’ll still feel nervous, have butterflies and have no real idea about what a new partner may be feeling. But, unlike your younger self, the 50-year-old you has years of experience to draw on. You know if knocked down you can get up and try again, and that one little rebuff won’t be the end of the world. You’ll know that you have been loved before and that friends like you, so why shouldn’t the man you fancy feel the same? And you won’t assume either of you can mind-read and anticipate each other’s needs. The one big advantage you have is those years so make the most…

Our average life expectancy in the UK is 81.4 years, according to the World Health Organization. Not bad, but we’re still lagging behind Spain, Australia and Japan. Catching up with healthier neighbours doesn’t mean overhauling our lifestyles. Simply making little changes can make a big difference and can help you live a longer and, more importantly, healthier life.

Is there a home treatment for a stye? Q I get styes every now and again and my doctor used to give me antibiotic drops or cream, but now they say I don’t need them. Why not? Philippa says: A A stye is a small, painful lump on or around the eyelid. It is an infection of a hair follicle and the skin can look red and even have a yellow head like a spot. Your vision should not be affected at all, though your eye may water a bit. They don’t need treatment, as they tend to go away on their own, though you can help it along by using warm compresses. Soak a flannel in warm water, and hold it firmly on the stye for 10 minutes, three…

I don’t want to work there any longer Q I took my job because it’s well paid and fits in with the kids’ school hours. But now they’re older, I want to give up – I’m bored with the work and hate my boss! But when my husband and I discuss it, we always realise the money’s good and I decide to stay. Why do I do that? Susan says: A It’s hard to leave a situation when you don’t know the alternatives. And my guess is you stay in your job not just because of the good pay, but also because you don’t have a clear idea of what else you would do. So focus on that. See if you can move within your existing job to a new…

For a long time, it’s been assumed women spend the most, treating themselves to all manner of beauty products and clothes. But, according to research, women take 14 minutes on average to make an online purchase, while men take just 10 – leading to a rise in male impulsive buyers. We challenged Jo Willacy and her husband, Gavin, to chart one week of their spending habits... JO’S DIARY Jo Willacy, 46, is a freelance journalist. She lives with her husband Gavin, 46, in Hertford Gavin and I don’t have children, just a cat. We have a joint account for all household expenditure but I also have my own ‘clothes and shoes’ account. I don’t think either of us are silly with money, but we’re not tight either. My weakness is…

* It is said that bingo originated in Lo Giuoco del Lotto d’Italia – the Italian national lottery game, which has been played since 1530. * In Australia bingo is also known as ‘housie’. * Most British bingo players seem to favour the traditional 90-ball game whereas Americans prefer the pattern game of 75-ball bingo. * Bingo was once called beano, because the players would use beans to mark off their cards. * There are, apparently, 1,474,200 different winning combinations on a standard bingo card. * Some celebrities started their career as bingo callers, including EastEnders star Shane Richie. * Winning isn’t everything! The top priority for bingo players is to have fun and find an enjoyable social environment. Thanks to the chat feature on Woman Bingo you can talk…

Seeing my little girl up on stage is nothing new. Ever since Lily could walk, she loved to dance. Ballet, tap, jazz, modern – she wanted to learn them all and I did everything I could to help her, from ferrying her to classes to repairing an endless stream of sequinned costumes with a needle and cotton. The only peace I’d get was when Lily was sitting in front of the TV on a Saturday night, enthralled by Strictly Come Dancing . As she got older, and I watched her in shows and competitions, I felt like the proudest mum in the room. But seeing her back up on stage, just a few months ago, her face adorned with glitter, made my heart swell in a way…

Kirstie Allsopp has been totally slaughtered for smashing her kids’ iPads when they refused to stop playing addictive shoot-up game Fortnite . Kirstie quit Twitter because the reaction to her full momma meltdown was so vitriolic. It is ridiculously wasteful to destroy such an expensive gadget. And her 10 and 12-year-old boys won’t learn anything from her behaving more violently than the game. But I have a feeling mums were secretly punching the air (in a non-violent way) in support. Of course we should all be better parents and just switch the blooming things off. But it is easier to get a tweenage boy to brush his teeth than prise his hands from an iPad. I know – my son is 11. That age is a lethal…
