Welcome... • As we all settle back onto our sofas with autumn closing in, I can’t wait for The Celebrity Traitors to begin. I recently caught up with Rachel Duffy – voted by fans as their favourite Traitor EVER – and she’s backing Joanne McNally to win, describing her as a natural ‘firecracker’ who can be incredibly ‘devious’. She also thinks Maya Jama is one to watch… Turn to page 16 for our chats with the stars taking part, plus the glorious Claudia Winkleman, whose style goal this year is to look like the Artful Dodger. Her secret? She’s been dipping her clothes in tea to get the look! Quite frankly, I’m wondering if I should try it… Elsewhere, we have some big stories to get stuck into. Kate reaches out to Harry after his UK return falls apart, while Katie Price finds romance with a toyboy as she rises above Lee-gate. And Jo O’Meara opens up about how she’s thrived after going into early menopause – an honest reminder that sometimes life throws us challenges we never see coming. So grab a cuppa, get comfy and enjoy!
