Naomi Watts, 58, wants women to know about this unexpected menopause symptom – here's how to fix it
Anyone experiencing the ups and downs of menopause (and perimenopause, for that matter) knows it's so much more than just hot flushes . Every other day there seems to be a new symptom linked to this period in our lives, from low mood to brain fog Awareness is improving, but there's still a long way to go in our understanding of how women's bodies respond to this immense hormonal change. One example of this: did you know that menopause can mess with your eyesight, too?

The official Celebrity Traitors power ranking at the series' mid-point: from worst to best
We're officially halfway through the second season of The Celebrity Traitors. Is it just us, but is it getting better and better? Just when we think an episode (episode four, in particular) is as good as the show can get, along comes a fresh twist* or yet another wild quote**. *The sheer difficulty of the murder! The traitors have been tasked with spraying a perfume bottle, luring someone into the room, making them yawn, and then saying 'am I boring you?'. An extremely funny feat.

Princess of Wales' pink earrings have a beautiful meaning – and they're surprisingly affordable
When it comes to exactly replicating the wardrobes of the Royal family, jewellery can be a real stumbling block. Sure, we can take note from the Princess of Wales and grab a chocolate brown trench coat like hers , or even the exact Fairisle jumper Catherine is wearing in her new video , but a significant portion of the the Royal's earrings, brooches, necklaces, and bracelets are family heirlooms that are well beyond any average person's budget.
This is the beautiful meaning behind Princess of Wales’ earrings – and you can get them for under £100

Hannah Fry's yellow cardigan on Traitors is pure joy – and this one from Jigsaw is now 50% off
There was a lot to love in Friday's episode of The Celebrity Traitors . Julie's massive reaction to Bella being murdered. The madness of Hannah making it through the round table. The sheer brilliance of the mission in the creepy hut. But can we take a moment for the fashion this week? While usually we expect colours in the Traitors castle to be all dark and spooky (à la Queen Claudia, of course), this week the mood was noticeably brightened with remarkably springy shades.
'I'm back, babes': Alison Hammond returns to TV in a dress that's perfect for autumn – and only £46
Last week, Alison Hammond made us all worry when she was unexpectedly taken off-air while clutching her chest. It was later revealed that the TV presenter had been taken to hospital for a heart check-up, where doctors confirmed she had experienced a panic attack. This morning, one week on, Alison returned to our screens. And boy, were we all happy to see her. 'I couldn't catch my breath and I genuinely thought I was having a heart attack,' shared Alison on today's episode of This Morning .
Kate, Princess of Wales, nails Traitors style in checked kilt skirt – and M&S's version is £40
Not even royals can escape Traitors mania. While it's yet to be confirmed that the King and Queen are up-t0-date on James Acaster's onscreen antics or if Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, are rooting for a Hannah Fry win even after her blunder in last night's episode , what's plain to see is that Kate has picked up on Claudia's castle style Arriving in Belfast today, the royal opted for an outfit that Claudia herself would be proud of.

'I'm a screamer': 7 moments that made episode 4 the best of The Celebrity Traitors yet
Well, another week of The Celebrity Traitors is behind us. Can we believe that Hannah Fry made it out of the round table? Nope. Are we gutted that Bella has been murdered? Absolutely. What on earth will happen with the hide and seek game at the end? While we're maddened by having to wait almost a full week for our next Traitors fix, at least the episode we were left with was an absolute banger. The best of the season thus far, I'd say. Here are 7 incredible moments that make it so.

Do they eat dinner together? When's bedtime? 5 burning logistical questions about The Celebrity Traitors, answered
Once we're done laughing at the celebrities' blunders and theorising what could happen next, watching an episode of The Celebrity Traitors tends to leave us with some big, burning questions. No, not 'where did Hannah Fry get that jumper?' (although we have found the answer that one). We're talking about the logistical side of things. Like... what time are all the celebs expected at breakfast? What if Jerry Hall fancies a lie-in?

'It's everywhere': Eating this common food could be making your mood so much worse this October Original
The transition from summer to autumn and into winter can be tough for a lot of us. Once you get through the confusion of September's in-between weather, you're faced with chillier temperatures and darker days ahead. As much as we're enjoying the return of The Celebrity Traitors and looking forward to bringing out our best knitwear, entering October can feel daunting. Will the lack of light cause seasonal affective disorder to hit?
‘It really did help': The three easy exercises Miranda Hart relies on for fitness at 53
We may only be an episode in to the second series of The Celebrity Traitors , but that's been enough to make us think: gosh, isn't it lovely to have Miranda Hart back on our screens? It's been ages since we could rely on watching the star of Miranda on a weekly basis. Now – as long as our Traitors don't dare to kill off an immediate fan favourite – we get to see our old pal for at least a week.
'Haggis!': why Jerry Hall is set for trouble in The Celebrity Traitors after episode two
Well, that was eventful. Episode two of the new season of The Celebrity Traitors is done and dusted, and while we didn't get to find out who got banished (Richard E. Grant... surely?), we did get plenty of info that points towards what will happen next. One big prediction we're making? Jerry Hall is in trouble. Big, big trouble. Episode two saw all the players buried in coffins in pairs and told that if either player yelled out 'haggis', both halves of the pair would escape their coffins...

'He'll cut you loose’: The quote that reveals how Rob and Romesh’s friendship will be their Traitors downfall
Kilts! Paranoia! Baffling obliviousness to obvious tells! The Celebrity Traitors is back and all our Traitors-mania with it. And just as with previous Traitors series before this one, there are existing dynamics between the players that will be tested by the show. Unlike the twists of Diane and Ross, Judy and Roxy, and Ross and Ellie, however, certain bonds are already well-known by the other players in the game – which we predict may work against them.

12 daily habits that are harming your heart health – and what to do instead
Our hearts (the actual, physical ones, not the romance part) tend to be something we give little thought to until there's a problem. It's natural to assume that everything is ticking along just fine as long as our hearts keep beating. We're sorry to say that's an error. Just because you can't see your heart doesn't mean you can ignore it. Heart health should be just as much of a priority as brain health , physical strength, and all the other wellness factors you consider day to day.
Could it finally be?: Suranne Jones says it's time to get your knits out – this M&S lookalike jumper is £18
September has been a strange month. The in-between weather has made it feel like high summer one day, then drenched us in a downpour the moment we stepped out in our sandals. But, finally, this weird month has come to an end. October is nigh. And, according to Suranne Jones – our authority on most things – that means it's time to get our knits out.

Holly Willoughby's cream blouse is an elegant swap for your T-shirt – and this version is just £32
When it comes to easy everyday outfit formulas, a T-shirt plus jeans is a forever favourite. But it does tend to get a bit… boring, no? And it's a bit limited in terms of smartness: there's only so far you can dress up a tee and jeans. So how about an alternative that's just as easy to wear, but feels immensely elevated? That, dear reader, is the formula of jeans and a cream blouse, as demonstrated perfectly by Holly Willoughby in the latest episode of her YouTube show, Holly Willoughby Together.
Nigella Lawson’s Boden Bake Off blazer will brighten your autumn wardrobe – and it’s now on sale for £90
We’ve hit biscuit week of the 17th season of The Great British Bake Off; or the second episode of the first season with Nigella Lawson as a judge. Last week Nigella kicked off the show on a strong note, delivering deeply sensual commentary about cakes and wearing an excellent jumpsuit (that speedily sold out).

Get some decent coffee in: 19 unspoken etiquette rules your cleaner secretly wants you to know
There's plenty of debate and dithering involved in the decision to book a professional cleaner . Can you afford it? Is the cost worth the time you get back? Just how clean does your home really need to be? How do you go about finding a cleaner you can trust? Once you take the plunge, even more questions arise. What tasks can you expect a cleaner to tackle? Are you being rude if you shut yourself away in a room and don't come out for the entirety of your cleaner's shift?

Pamela Anderson's ‘liquid gold' maxi solves your partywear dilemma – Next's £50 dress is the answer
Can you hear that sound? There, in the distance. A ringing of bells... jingle bells. Now we're firmly in autumn, it's just a hop, skip, and a jump (in a big pile of crunchy leaves, of course) until Christmas. And that means that fast approaching is party season. Are you ready? If you are yet to even consider your outfit choices for all the festivities coming up, worry not. And fair enough – we're still wearing our summer sandals.
‘Already flexing my muscles’: The exercise Trigger Point’s Vicky McClure relies on for strength and stamina
With the amount of running around Vicky McClure has to do on-screen in Line of Duty and Trigger Point, it’s natural to assume that the actor is a total gym bunny. You might imagine her doing obstacle courses off-duty, or running marathons up North in a bulletproof vest and a helmet. But in fact, Vicky has previously said she avoids the gym, instead using filming as her main form of workout.

'My soulmate': Stephen Graham and wife Hannah can't stop laughing on date night at fashion show
When it comes to celeb couples we adore, Stephen Graham and his wife of 18 years Hannah Walters have to be near the top of the list. That's not just because of the length of their relationship (the pair met back in the 90s), or their creative partnership (they've collaborated on a number of projects, including Adolescence and Time ), or how sweetly they talk about each other. Today's reason why we love this duo: they go on really great date nights. Seriously.
‘I want it sumptuous': Nigella Lawson's sensual commentary in the first episode of GBBO, ranked
The Great British Bake Off has always been loaded with innuendo . References to soggy bottoms, astoundingly phallic breads, icing buns... it's absolute smut. So when it was announced that Nigella Lawson, AKA one of the sexiest British icons around, would be joining the show as a new judge for season 17 , we were alarmed. How much sexier could a show about baking get? Would the British public be able to handle such pulse-raising TV at 8pm on a Tuesday? Just how erotic would Nigella go?
The new season of The Great British Bake Off kicks off with 'catastrophic' failures
When we tune in to watch The Great British Bake Off , there are certain things we're counting on happening. We want plenty of innuendos ( Nigella's got us covered this season with very sensual commentary ). We want to experience intense cravings for cake, biscuits, and other baked goods. And we definitely want the drama of failure. Tears! Cake collapses! Mini breakdowns in front of the oven! We hope for these things, but we never expected to be treated so well in the very first episode of season 17.
‘It's the aftermath': Fearne Cotton shares how entering her 40s fixed a toxic habit
How comfortable are you with pissing people off? If you're anything like us, the answer is: not very. And it's the same for Fearne Cotton, who shared on the latest episode of her podcast, Happy Place , that she is one of many women who struggles with a need to people-please. Well, less so these days. The presenter and author revealed that one thing has made a real difference to her need to keep everyone happy: entering her 40s.
Nigella Lawson's jumpsuit for the first episode of GBBO is sold out – but this one is just £95
It's here, it's finally here! The new series of The Great British Bake Off – the first with Nigella Lawson joining Paul Hollywood as judge – has landed, with the first episode kicking off with cake week. To begin series 17 of GBBO , contestants were challenged to take on one of Nigella's signature bakes; a stout cake . After a challenging technical, the showstopper portion of proceedings asked the bakers to create self-portraits out of cake. Easy, right?

‘A big moment': Prince Harry reveals the unexpected British snack Archie and Lilibet love
When Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, moved over to California all those years ago, we wondered how the royal couple would get on without the comforts of their lives in Britain. By which we mean, of course, decent cups of tea, full English fry-ups, and fish and chips.
