Heat|Issue 1084SELFLESS CELEBS…While some celebrities are donating generously to help those in need during this crisis, we wanted to shout out to some of the stars who have been out there, working to support their communities. Vicky Pattison and boyfriend Ercan Ramadan teamed up with various brands to send out 600 care packages to elderly residents in Gateshead. Actors Dominic Cooper and Gemma Chan delivered meals to NHS staff in London last week, and Michael Jackson’s son Prince was pictured handing out food packages in LA. Keep up the good work, guys.…1 min
Heat|Issue 1084Coleen: ‘Now Wayne gets to see how hard it is’We always knew that Coleen Rooney was one of the most down-to-earth and relatable celebs around, and many of us can definitely feel her pain when it comes to having our significant others under our feet all the time during corona shutdown. But we hear she’s also secretly pleased that Wayne can see how hard it is to be a stay-at-home parent. “Coleen has always felt that Wayne thought she had a bit of an easy ride at home, so she likes that he’s getting a taste of daily life for her – and how bloody hard it is,” our insider says. “She’s used to having an outlet – gym classes and social engagements with friends – but without those, she’s feeling a bit down. It’s been hard work and…3 min
Heat|Issue 1084Taylor’s London pub weddingSurely one of the joys of being an A-lister is that you can have the most OTT, garish wedding and no one is allowed to call you tacky? Well, it seems Taylor Swift is forgoing that perk and has decided she’d rather have a more low-key affair when she ties the knot with boyfriend Joe Alwyn. So low-key, in fact, that she’s planning on holding it in a boozer. “Taylor has decided that she wants a small pub wedding with Joe and just a handful of their friends and family,” an insider tells heat. “While part of her has always wanted a big fairy-tale wedding near her home [in Rhode Island in the US], her relationship with Joe has completely changed her views on love – it’s made her think…2 min
Heat|Issue 1084Ferne: ‘Nanny Gilly’s moved in with us!’She hasn’t had much time to herself in well over two years, ever since giving birth to daughter Sunday and learning to play the role of both mum AND dad in their happy home of two. But, luckily for Ferne McCann, 29, she’s got an extra set of hands to help her out during quarantine – because mum (and breakout star of Ferne’s reality series First Time Mum) Gilly McCann has moved in. Speaking to heat from lockdown, Ferne explains how they’re adapting to their new normal, and tells us why –although she’d love to publicly gush about her new boyfriend, city trader Albie Gibbs – she’s having to keep some things private. How are you all holding up under lockdown? It’s just me, my mum and Sunday, and we’re…2 min
Heat|Issue 1084DANNY DYER’S WIFE: ‘I’VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE’Newsflash: we’ve got this whole “soul mates” thing wrong. We were under the impression that love, commitment and a shared sense of humour were the cornerstones of a relationship. But according to Joanne ‘I do believe in myself – no one else does’ Mas – who’s been with actor Danny Dyer for over 25 years – you don’t need any of that to live happily ever after. Last week, in a live Instagram Q+A, she told fans she’d “probably never” been in love and couldn’t remember the last time she’d laughed. Let’s hope that Joanne shares her husband’s cheeky sense of humour. “Have I ever been in love? Probably not,” Jo, 43, deadpanned. “Do I believe in myself? Of course… Good job I do, because no one else does. When…2 min
Heat|Issue 1084KHLOE’S BOTOX PANICWe’re all struggling to maintain some kind of beauty regime in the lockdown era (or we’ve given up entirely – hello, monobrow). But when your daily grind is normally a non-stop schedule of hair, make-up and filler appointments, this new way of life stings as much as Botox. So, it’s no surprise to hear that Khloé Kardashian and her sisters are beside themselves with worry about having to go “au naturel”. According to insiders, Khloé – who, as heat has reported, recently reunited with baby daddy Tristan Thompson – is distraught that she won’t be able to look her best. “All the sisters are worried, but Khloé’s self esteem, in particular, depends on having regular Botox and fillers, plus spa trips and one-on-one training sessions,” says an insider close to…1 min

While times like these can really bring out the best in some people – and we’ve seen plenty of good neighbours helping each other out – when Shawn Mendes decided to do an impromptu performance of his entire album, something had to be done. SO? His mortified girlfriend Camila Cabello lured him back in by promising to do a fake Grammy Awards, where Shawn wins all the gongs. NEW YORK CITY, 28 MARCH Katie is done with Holmes-schooling WHERE? Central Park. WHAT?

Heat|Issue 1084David Walliams’ INSIDER GUIDE TOBGTIn these social-distancing times, we need Britain’s Got Talent more than ever. Its mix of crooners, dancers, dog trainers, magicians and all-out balls-to-the-wall freaky oddness is the perfect distraction. Luckily, the auditions for the new, 14th series have already been filmed and will hit our screens this Saturday, even though the live shows have been put back to later in the year. So, before coronavirus changed all our lives, we sat down with David Walliams, in his eighth year as a BGT judge, to get his insider’s guide to what makes the show so unique, and what to expect this time round. Get ready for a man who paints with his penis, basically... KEEPING IT REAL “There’s nothing to prepare, no rehearsals, no briefings, we just have to turn up,…5 min

Heat|Issue 1084Wonder MASKSIF YOU’RE SUFFERING FROM DRYNESS While your hands will undoubtedly be drier due to all the extra washing, your face may be struggling, too. Whether you’re drinking less water while away from your usual routine, cleansing more regularly or feeling the effects of the central heating, your skin will be in need of a hydration hit. Alternate between masks containing hyaluronic acid, which deeply penetrates the skin’s layers, and hydrating oils to reap the benefits quickly. IF YOU’RE MISSING YOUR GLOW When we’re stressed out, our skin is more prone to becoming dull and losing radiance. Masks containing antioxidant-rich vitamin C will help combat this by evening out skin tone, leaving it looking bright and radiant. Also, don’t forget to take a little time out while you’re masking.

Heat|Issue 1084BOYD’STV LANDMY VERDICT ON… Save Me Too Sky Atlantic/NOW TV, Wednesdays, 9pm When I previewed Save Me Toothe other week, before it arrived on Sky/ NOW TV, I’d only seen the first three of six episodes. Now it’s available in full as a box set (although it’s also airing weekly), I’ve seen the whole thing and I’ve changed my verdict. Before, I thought it was an extraordinarily good sequel to writer/producer/star Lennie James’ pretty damn great first series, built round his character Nelly trying to find his missing teenage daughter. Now, I think it’s nothing short of a masterpiece. The skill with which James juggles his multiple narratives and characters is astonishing. He manages to expand upon the supporting ensemble’s stories while introducing a new complex central thread as Nelly tries…3 min
Heat|Issue 1084Kay’s SOAP DISHA quickie with... Hollyoaks’ Niamh Blackshaw ‘Juliet’s naïve and vulnerable’ Why do you think Jordan targeted Juliet? She’s very confident and witty, she knows what to say and how to play the game. She’s also very easy to manipulate. Juliet cuts off her family and she thinks she’s in control, but she’s not – she’s vulnerable and naïve, and that’s the perfect mix. In the flash-forward to NYE 2020, it’s revealed she’s in love with Peri. Have you filmed much of this development yet? We’ve filmed the seeds of it. The way Juliet interacts with Peri suggests that her feelings are more than platonic. Peri is still very oblivious to Juliet’s feelings. She thinks that Juliet’s just this little kid that’s going out with her foster brother Sid. What are…1 min

He won a million pounds, but was then accused of conning his way to the prize. DIANA INGRAM (SIAN CLIFFORD) The Major’s wife was the driving force behind getting him on Millionaire, having previously been a contestant on the show herself a few months before, when she won a respectable £32,000. CHRIS TARRANT (MICHAEL SHEEN) The legendary radio and TV broadcaster who was host of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? from 1998 to 2014, during which time it became the biggest TV quiz show format on the planet.

Heat|Issue 10844 Killing EveThankfully, the BBC is letting us see the new, third series of Killing Eve on iPlayer the day after it airs in the US – we had to wait months for seasons one and two – before it arrives on BBC1 next weekend. You may remember that at the end of series two (spoiler alert!), professional assassin and all-round psychopath Villanelle (Jodie Comer) shot espionage operative Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) because Eve refused to run off and start a new life with her. The new run picks up events months later, and you won’t be surprised to hear that Eve is alive and has a new job. In fact, all the main players are in intriguing new situations and the show is as engrossing as ever. ★★★★★ Boyd Hilton…1 min
Heat|Issue 10848 Prue Leith: Journey With My DaughterBefore she became a Bake Off judge, Prue Leith had already been pretty famous since the ’70s, when she became a household name for her cookbooks and all-round foodie expertise. In 1975, she also made the radical decision to adopt a Cambodian baby girl called Li-Da in the build-up to dictator Pol Pot’s genocide, and raise her in her Cotswolds home. Now, in this one-off documentary, Leith ponders whether she should have encouraged her daughter to explore her roots more, and then heads to Cambodia along with Li-Da to search for her biological family. It’s a big journey for Prue’s daughter, but also for Prue, as she approaches 80 years of age. ★★★★ Liam Wright…1 min
Heat|Issue 108413 FlackHere comes the second run of the UKTV Original starring Anna Paquin as the compellingly boozy and drug-taking PR queen Robyn, who specialises in clearing up her famous clients’ messes. Series one ended with mass destruction, and so when we rejoin Robyn, she’s ditched all the hedonism and is determined to stick to recovery. Unfortunately, news of an unexpected pregnancy sends her off the rails again. Meanwhile, Caroline (Sophie Okonedo) receives a surprise visit from ex-husband Duncan (recent Twitter king and all-round legend, Sam Neill) who brings distressing news. Eve (Lydia Wilson) is struggling to find her place in life, while Melody (Rebecca Benson) finds her feet in London.

Heat|Issue 1084When Mark Wright launched vajazzlesHe might want you to think of him as the tanned, six-pack-bearing Hollywood big shot that he seems to be these days. But cast your minds back to the midst of TOWIE fever, when Mark Wright was the reality king of Essex. In this picture, we see him honouring the ancient Essex art of the vajazzle (please don’t make us explain it – if you don’t remember, that’s on you) at the launch of TOWIE’s very own “intimate body art crystals”. Here, in 2011, Mark had just got engaged to long-time girlfriend Lauren Goodger, but the pair would call it off months later, amid claims Mark had cheated with co-star Lucy Mecklenburgh. Now, he’s happily married to Michelle Keegan and lives a charmed life. God bless the vajazzle. heat world…1 min
Heat|Issue 1084DAVID BLOWS $24M ON MIAMI PARTY PADIt’s been a source of tension between David and Victoria Beckham for the past couple of years, but it seems the former footballer got has finally got his way and bought a home in Miami. The couple have reportedly splashed out $24million on his dream five-bedroom penthouse apartment in the heart of the city, as a base following the launch of David’s new football club Inter Miami. We’re told David had been holding out for this property ever since he saw it, while Posh had wanted something more family friendly and secluded. “The new Miami pad is a proper showstopper. It’s breathtaking – so modern, with amazing views and seven-star luxury,” says an insider close to the Beckhams, who’re estimated to be worth a whopping £700m. “At first, Vic was…4 min
Heat|Issue 1084STACEY: ‘I’M GOING TO END UP PREGNANT’With everyone starting to go a little stir crazy, it’s no wonder that something as simple as cleaning the windows can get a person hot under the collar. Last week, Stacey Solomon shared a video of boyfriend Joe Swash getting down and dirty with a squeegee and some window cleaner. As he got to work, Stacey sang Etta James’I Just Want To Make Love To You through the window to him. The 30 year old also captioned the video, “Maybe it’s the lockdown, but I’m pretty sure he’s never looked sexier.” And there was more to come – after Joe had completed his chores, Stacey posted a snap of her hunky man posing with his window cleaning tools, with the caption, “This is how we ended up pregnant the last…1 min
Heat|Issue 1084Binky’s ‘wild’ plans for Ollie’s stag doShe’s promised to stay away from the “drama and gossip” this time round on Made In Chelsea, saying, “It’s a different show for us oldies.” But don’t go thinking that former party girl Binky Felstead has fully forgotten her roots. According to insiders, the 29 year old – who recently made her triumphant return to the E4 show – has taken it upon herself to organise the biggest, messiest stag do for best friend Ollie Locke, who’s getting married to fiancé Gareth Locke (nope, they’re not related) later this year. And that means taking the night off from her new life as a responsible, party-shy mum of one. “Binky’s been planning a night of debauchery for Ollie’s stag – she can’t wait to let her hair down,” says an insider…1 min
Heat|Issue 1084‘Stacey Solomon is an inspiration’While we’re all still getting used to the new quarantined way of life, Teen Mom UK star Amber Butler is doing it all with two little ones to contend with at the same time. The 22 year old had her second son, Hudson, back in September – a baby brother for five-year-old Brooklyn – and she’s found the transition to being a mum of two smoother than expected. “I thought it would be really difficult having two, because honestly, I found having just Brooklyn really tough,” Amber tells heat. “But I feel like ever since he’s arrived, we’ve all grown up so much. Brooklyn is such a good big brother. He helps me with everything.” And after struggling with being a 17-year-old mum to Brooklyn, Amber – who got back…1 min
Heat|Issue 1084Rihanna: ‘I’ll have a baby – with or without a man’Award-winning singer, Hollywood actress, fashion icon, cosmetics queen, business impresario… seriously, we’d be here all day listing Rihanna’s many impressive achievements. And now there’s a new challenge she wants to take on. According to the singer, she sees lots of babies in her future – “three or four” – to be exact, and she’s prepared to become a single mum to make that dream a reality. Not that we imagine she’d have anyproblem in finding a potential baby daddy. Speaking to British Vogue last week, the Bajan powerhouse was asked to imagine where she saw herself in ten years’ time. “Ten years? I’ll be 42! I’ll be ancient,” she replied. “I’ll have kids – three or four of ’em.” She then explained that she was more than happy to do…3 min
