Beach body at ANY AGE

ELLIE GOULDING The Love Me Like You Do singer isn’t just a powerhouse when it comes to her vocals – she gives it some in the gym, too. Ellie is a fan of the intense hour-long workouts at Barry’s Bootcamp. She says, ‘Before, I had a flat bum, no boobs and not much shape. I’m way more womanly now.’ COLEEN ROONEY She’s got three kids with her husband, footballer Wayne Rooney, but Col is on the ball when it comes to getting back into a bikini. ‘Before a beach holiday, I’ll cut out nice stuff,’ she says. ‘I also go to the gym three days a week to do weights and interval training.’ MYLEENE KLASS The former Hear’Say singer is no stranger to an itsy-bitsy white bikini, right? But Myleene – mum to daughters Ava,…

The holiday romance that changed my life

I was almost 50 and heartbroken when I walked into the travel agency. I had no idea where I wanted to go or what I expected to find when I got there; I just knew I needed to escape. After 20 years as a wife and mother, my marriage was over and my daughters, Abby and Claire, had left home to go to university. I was completely lost. I'd been with my husband, Roger, since I was 14. We moved from Bristol to set up home in Stoke-on-Trent when the girls were little. I was a health visitor, Roger worked from home, and every summer we’d go camping in France. It was a conventional life, but we were happy. But things changed when Roger got a new job in motorsport sponsorship. He worked away…

Stay healthy & relaxed

Whether you’re enjoying the British sunshine or holidaying abroad, topping up your fluid intake might be the last thing on your mind. But it’s very important to stay hydrated – so protect your family by making sure they keep sipping cool drinks when the sun’s strong and the heat is on ‘Hot weather can drive up the body’s temperature and lead to over-heating,’ says Dr Emma Derbyshire, public health nutritionist and adviser to the Natural Hydration Council. ‘You’ll start feeling very warm, dizzy and disorientated. ‘In the worst cases, more typically children, the elderly or those exercising for long periods, this may lead to heatstroke – a very serious condition. ‘So, if you’re spending time in the sun – especially if you’re looking to do some exercise – it’s important to drink…

WE’RE PROUD TO SHOW OFF OUR BIKINI BODIES

‘I love my stretch marks’ ‘From my early teens, my weight steadily increased. At college, I’d start the day with a big bowl of cereal, followed by a mid-morning sausage roll. Lunch was a sandwich, crisps, a chocolate bar and fizzy drink. We’d go out for burgers in the evening, and I’d drink alcohol three nights a week. My bad habits meant that, aged 18, I was a size 20 and weighed 16st 7lb. That summer, in 2003, I went on a girls’ holiday. Wearing a bikini was my worst nightmare, so I wrapped up in a towel or hid behind layers of clothes. When I overheard a group of lads refer to me as “the fat one”, it felt like I’d been hit with a sledgehammer. I joined Slimming World when I got back. In…

BANGED UP ABROAD

Jailed on a family holiday When mumof-four Laura Webb’s ex-husband offered to pay for a family holiday in the Caribbean she jumped at the chance. But unknown to her, Paul Makin, father to her two youngest children, had a sinister ulterior motive. When they arrived at the hotel on the stunning Venezuelan island of Margarita in February 2009, Laura and the children shared a room, while ex-soldier Paul was in another. ‘The kids had never been on holiday, let alone abroad,’ recalled Laura. ‘They absolutely loved it. The older two were in and out of the pool all day and I was with the babies in the shade. ‘Paul often left the hotel for several hours. I didn’t ask what he was doing.’ After a blissful week, they prepared to fly home, but their dream holiday was…

‘There are no rules any more, a 60-year-old can look better than a 20-year-old’

I really don’t think we should talk about ageing,’ says Helena Christensen, famously one of the most mild-mannered and easygoing supermodels of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ – a term coined 20 years ago when she, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer were ruling the runway. ‘Because this is something only women ever have to deal with, not men. Why do men never ever get asked about ageing?’ But this isn’t the moment to be flippant and, in any case, the 47-year-old doesn’t seem to expect an answer. ‘If women weren’t reading about the constant pressure of ageing,’ she continues. ‘It might not be in their heads. And I don’t want any woman to feel that there are any limits imposed by age. ‘Why would there be any…

GET SET FOR THE SUN

Most of us keep our skin hidden for most of the year, which can leave legs looking very dry. Make sure your pins are super soft for your hols with a little help from Kelly Brook. She says, ‘With all the travelling, I can get very dry skin. I love Bio-Oil, £8.99, it’s great for keeping legs moisturised.’ Keep your hair looking as glossy as Michelle Keegan’s by following her top secret. She says, ‘I love Philip Kingsley Elasticizer, £17, which you put in your hair when it’s wet – or when on holiday you can use it as a mask!’ ‘As I’ve got older, I have come to appreciate SPF more. So I use it every single day,’ says This Morning’s Holly Willoughby. ‘I use Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector All In…

‘We’re not the right fit – it’s not working,’ Suze had told him in the church Jim sat back on his lounger, sipping a rum punch. His sunglasses meant he could assess the talent walking round the pool without appearing a bit of a perv. Which he wasn’t. He was just footloose and fancy-free – and celebrating the fact. Anyway, after Suze, he was officially off anything long-term with women. For life. ‘Rubbish!’ his sister Ange had scoffed. ‘You just need to get back on your horse!’ To be fair, Ange had got back on her horse so often, she probably had saddle sores. Still, she – A chunk of ice went down the wrong way and made him sit up, spluttering. As he fought for breath, he glimpsed Raúl, the extremely macho – and hairy…

The postman always rings twice, in case I don’t hear it the first time. Len’s on at me to get a hearing aid. My friend, Liz, says they’re very discreet these days. Even her hubby’s got one – not that he needs one, she adds. He soon knows about it if he treads on Dave, Gordon, Tony or Maggie – small dogs with big attitudes, by the sound of it! What I’m waiting for in the post concerns my grandson Gary – in too many ways a dead ringer for his dad. I used to say our Jeff was ‘no angel’, hoping people wouldn’t judge – even though his own dad, my hubby Len, had made up his mind long ago. ‘No angel?’ Len would echo. ‘I suppose not. I mean, last…

Ross was poised expectantly, bow and arrow at the ready. This part of the garden, right at the bottom, was overgrown. He felt like a jungle explorer observing wildlife, sheltered by the tall grass. Today, the ‘wildlife’ in question was Waverly Avenue’s latest blow-in. A muscular bloke standing on newly-laid paving slabs, holding a drink. He seemed very pleased with himself as he gazed out across his enclosure – obviously he hadn’t a clue about its hidden treasures, including a gap in the fence, obscured by a sprawl of pink floribunda. ‘Hello,’ called a voice, making MB (muscular bloke) jump. Ross kept very still and peered through the grass stalks. A woman appeared round the side of the house. Amy Philips from number 82. This was more like it! Still a bit of a challenge…

I LOST THE HOLIDAY FLAB TO BE NIFTY AT 50

Sitting outside in the French sunshine, I smiled as I tucked into a crusty baguette slathered in butter and gorgeous raspberry jam. ‘Life just doesn’t get better than this,’ I thought as I enjoyed every minute of my summer holiday. But when I got home, all the happy holiday memories disappeared as I saw the results of my overindulgence staring at me on the scales. In my teens and up until my 30s, I was always a slim size 12-14. Running around as a primary school teacher and with my own kids, Sophia, now 22, and George, 20, meant I kept fit. As I got into my 40s, while my husband Mark, 56, stayed slim, I found I was slowly getting bigger and bigger. At home, I always cooked healthy meals for me and…
