Heat|Issue 1278Kate Moss… For giving us an oldfashioned Mossy bashCeleb EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK If there’s anyone who knows how to party, it’s Kate Moss. So, while her idea of fun often consists of zen meditations and sound baths these days, the supermodel seemed more than happy to let her hair down at her recent 50th birthday bash. A classic Mossy celebration, Kate partied until 2am as she and her A-list pals turned a Parisian restaurant into their own private nightclub with added makeshift catwalk. Heard telling anecdotes about Mick Jagger in the smoking area, the model partied with boyfriend Count Nikolai Von Bismarck and pals including Charlotte Tilbury and Venus Williams. Happy birthday, Mossy, we love ya.…1 min

Heat|Issue 1278Harry's guilt AFTER ROYAL HOSPITAL DRAMAheat news Last year, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continued their downward spiral as their popularity plummeted. The loss of their megabucks deal with Spotify in June, combined with several other blows, undoubtedly left the Sussexes more desperate than ever to cash in their currency as royals in Hollywood. However, 2023 wasn’t an easy year for Kate Middleton, either. Harry’s estranged sister-in-law continued to soldier on in the face of allegations of bullying and racism made by Harry in his explosive tell-all Spare, and by Meghan's “mouthpiece” Omid Scobie in biography Endgame. But after the Princess of Wales, 42, underwent serious abdominal surgery last week – with reports suggesting she would spend up to 14 days in hospital and could be out of action until Easter – a source says…3 min
Heat|Issue 1278Hannah Elizabeth 'I'VE HAD EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE DONE'Nine years after she appeared on Love Island, way back on series one, Hannah Elizabeth is proving why we all loved her so much in the first place. Whether it’s because she’s the Scousest Scouser we’ve ever heard, the fact that she’s considered one of the lads, or the way she looks after her fellow Islanders, there’s no denying that Hannah, 33, is “an absolute icon” as one viewer put it. And while her second stint in the villa isn’t appearing to be quite as successful as her first yet – who can forget when Jon Clark, Hannah’s partner from day one, got down on one knee at the final ceremony and proposed to her? – she’s still a firm favourite in heat’s eyes. Hannah’s bubbly personality and self-assuredness don’t…2 min
Heat|Issue 1278Inside Vicky's 'FAIRY-TALE WEDDING'heat news There’s been almost as much build-up for Vicky Pattison’s wedding as for any royal nuptials, but seeing as she is essentially the queen of reality TV, we’ll let her off. Especially now that she and her future husband Ercan Ramadan are in the final stages of planning their lavish ceremony. Last week, Vicky, 36, confirmed that she had officially decided on her wedding dress – or, we should say, dresses – sharing an Instagram post of her rejected looks, and commenting, “I think you guys will be really shocked with the styles I actually have gone with.” The star – who shot to fame on Geordie Shore back in 2011 – had previously revealed that she was planning multiple outfit changes on her big day, saying, “I’m not…3 min
Heat|Issue 1278AMYHART: 'I am the BIGGEST OVERSHARER'We’re sitting down to talk to Amy Hart, but she certainly isn’t sitting down to talk to us. Listening to the rustle of the tin foil as she makes lunch for her one-year-old son Stanley while also answering the door to the postman, there’s no doubt that Amy’s entered her most exciting era yet – her mum era. A musical-theatre mega-fan who said she’d kissed her fair share of frogs, air hostess Amy, 31, was a breath of fresh air when she appeared on the fifth season of Love Island in 2019. Although she didn’t find love and voluntarily walked away from the villa after facing heartbreak over her failed relationship with Curtis Pritchard, she became an icon of female empowerment. Then, at 28, Amy decided to take motherhood into…8 min

There’s plenty of fun to be had in “Norn Iron” (as the locals call it) and capital Belfast is at the heart of it. The weather may sometimes be damp, but the people are warm, with a dry wit – think Derry Girls – and they are rightly proud of their country, which punches above its weight when it comes to heart-stopping scenery, heritage and history – plus perfect pints of Guinness, of course. As well as being just an hour’s flight away, Belfast is compact, so it’s super-easy to explore in a weekend getaway. Most places of interest are strollable or a short taxi or bus ride away.

Heat|Issue 1278Domino DayBBC3, WEDNESDAY 31 JANUARY, 9PM When BBC Three moved online, it looked as though the channel might never commission any new shows. This was sad, but thankfully temporary, situation, given its rich history of bringing us the likes of Fleabag, Gavin And Stacey and People Just Do Nothing. It also dabbled in a bit of genre television, such as The Fades, so it’s good to see them aim for another cult hit with this new supernatural drama. Domino Day is actually the name of the lead character (Siena Kelly) – a young woman who spends her time scouring apps and going on dates. Just so happens, though, that she’s a witch who feeds on her victims. Appalled by this behaviour, a more moralistic coven of witches are tracking her down,…1 min

But last week, it was confirmed Annie Kilner had put the kibosh on her relationship with teenage sweetheart Kyle Walker once and for all, after learning he’d fathered a second child with influencer Lauryn Goodman. Taking to Instagram, the 31 year old – who shares three young children with the footballer – told followers, “Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.” It was also revealed last week that Annie was heavily pregnant with their fourth child.

The singer hit headlines last year when it was revealed she was dating the actor, just days after news broke of her split from husband Dalton Gomez, 28.

Heat|Issue 1278Why everyone's obsessed WITH CHRIS TAYLORheat news The first time Chris Taylor, 33, went on Love Island, no one batted an eyelid. On a show that favours ab multipacks and toxic behaviour, being “the funny one’” doesn’t always get you very far. But once he’d left series five, dated Irish bombshell Maura Higgins, and made a career for himself outside of the show (he’s a TikTok fave, used to present heat’s Under the Duvet with Harriet Rose, and starred in Barbie), Chris started turning heads. How did we not realise before that he’s incredibly hot? Now, he’s back in the villa, and he’s the one batting off attention. In the launch episode, not one, not two, but three girls queued up to be his partner. And despite all the boys competing for the attentions of…1 min

In order to become the infamous Colombian cartel boss, Sofia admitted, “I wanted me to disappear”, changing the way she walked, talked and looked, and using prosthetics to alter the appearance of her nose, teeth and eyebrows. As a result, the usually stunning Sofia is almost unrecognisable – so much so, that Griselda’s real-life son Michael…2 min

We’re told that, having previously offered a sympathetic ear to her fellow WAG, Coleen, 37, has since taken it upon herself to guide Annie through the tumult, introducing her to her lawyer Paul Lunt (who led her to victory during her Wagatha Christie trial), advising her on how to handle all the increased press attention, and even actingas a mediator between her and Kyle.
