Heat|Issue 1219Amazon… For saving NeighboursCeleb EMPLOYEE OF THE WEEK We were devastated when the seemingly last-ever episode of Neighbours aired in July after a three-decade run. But now, Amazon Freevee has swooped in and saved the day by announcing the show will be returning with a brand-new series. And the show will be picking up almost exactly where it left off, with Stefan Dennis and Jackie Woodburne returning to their roles of Paul Robinson and Susan Kennedy, along with several other members of the 2022 cast. Oh, and did we mention that it will be free to stream? We cannot wait!…1 min
Heat|Issue 1219star exchangeheat news SEXY GOGGLES Molly-Map Hague took a break from being a groomed influencer last week, wearing a fetching pair of lilac goggles during her baby moon in Dubai. She joked that she “makes herself sick”, but we're here for the sensible swimming advice. FESTIVE FUN Nothing screams Christmas is coming more than the opening of Winter Wonderland. At the VIP preview event, Stacey Solomon was all smiles as she enjoyed a night out with hubby Joe Swash and their kids, while Love Island's Shaughna Phillips proudly cupped her growing bump. MONOCHROME Sarah Jessica Parker understood the “catch the eye” assignment last week when she was spotted in a striking pink and gold outfit during filming for AJLT. The ‘80s-inspired look gets ayes from us, but she'd look far more…1 min
Heat|Issue 1219All aboard the WAG BOATheat news Despite the questionable decision to hold the World Cup in Qatar, we're all still obsessed with this year's most exciting squad. No, not the players. We're talking about the WAGs. Who can forget when the OG wives and girlfriends of the England team descended on Germany in 2006? Posh, Cheryl and Abbey Clancy were among the iconic group who caused so much uproar with their lavish spending and partying that partners were banned from the following tournament. And while this year's gang are likely to he much more tame, given that they've reportedly been slapped with a serious set of rules, we can still expect the same level of luxury. Especially the accommodation -a £1billion cruise ship docked in waters off Qatar's capital of Doha. Or, “Waggy McWagface”…2 min
Heat|Issue 1219Now Meghan WANTS IN THE BILLIONAIRE CLUBheat news Money talks, or so the saying goes – but for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, apparently it isn't talking enough. The Sussexes are thought to have a combined worth of between £50.6million and £100m, so regardless of the exact eye-watering number, they're hardly feeling the pinch. But, according to heat's insiders, Meghan isn't settling for millionaire status and has set her sights on making it into the far more elite billionaires’ club. We're told the duch*ess has been busy forging connections that will help her get there – and, now, her ambitions could be getting a boost. Next month, Meghan, 41, and Prince Harry, 38, are set to receive an award at New York's Ripple of Hope gala, which recognises commendable humanitarian and philanthropic work, and for some…3 min
Heat|Issue 1219Zara: ‘I WAS TOLD SO MANY TIMES I WAS FAT’heat news When Zara McDermott left the Love Island villa in 2018, nothing could have prepared her for the onslaught of cruel trolling about her body, which incredibly ranged from being called a “fat whale” to a “unit”. The opening sequence of her new BBC 3 documentary Disordered Eating sees the influencer reflecting on the influx of hateful comments she received. “I was told so many times I was fat, and there's a finite amount of times you can hear that before you actually start to believe it,” she shares. Zara – who was a perfectly healthy size 10 – then embarked on a fitness journey and shed three stone after recruiting a personal trainer. She has often documented her eating habits and workout routines on a second Instagram account,…1 min
Heat|Issue 1219Sinitta: ‘I'VE ALWAYS DATED THE MAN EVERYONE WANTS’Why did you decide to sign up to Celebs Go Dating? I've been on dating apps, and while I'm quite happy messaging people initially, as soon as they suggest meeting up, I get a bit freaked out and stop talking to them. I've never started any of my relationships without being friends with a person first. The agency was great, because it gave me the opportunity to have a blind date where I felt completely safe. How does it feel to be dating again? I came into the show worrying that no one would want to date me. What man in their fifties wants a woman in their fifties? They all want someone younger. The agency made me realise that I'd essentially switched myself off to dating by having that…2 min

Heat|Issue 1219Ed's Castle On The HillWHERE: Framlingham Castle, Suffolk Ed Sheeran's hit Castle On The Hill was inspired by the real-life Framlingham Castle, located in the singer's hometown in Suffolk. While Ed's song recalls his naughty teenage adventures, a visit to the Norman castle is much more PG, as you can explore the Tudor towers and the surrounding parkland. We'd recommend a stay at Castle View House, a delightful bed and breakfast overlooking the castle. It's just a short distance away from the historic market town, where you'll find shops, cafés and country pubs. Make sure to visit The Station, where the star signed his first record deal and took Taylor Swift for lunch – there's a selfie on the wall to prove it!

Heat|Issue 1219The PatientEverything YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT… Steve Carell is best known for playing the American equivalent of Ricky Gervais’ David Brent in seven seasons of the US version of The Office, and he's specialised in being a comedy performer first and foremost. But that hasn't stopped him from taking on some pretty challenging, serious roles, like Foxcatcher in 2014, for which he was Oscarnominated. Now, he's taking on one of his most intense characters – a therapist called Alan Strauss who we first meet when he wakes up in a strange room, chained to a wall. After a series of flashbacks to his counselling sessions, it turns out one of his patients, Sam Fortner (Domhnall Gleeson), is responsible for imprisoning Strauss. And Fortner soon confesses that he's a serial killer…2 min

Heat|Issue 1219WillowDISNEY+, WEDNESDAY 30 NOVEMBER Back in 1988, Warwick Davis starred in the Ron Howard fantasy movie Willow. He played farmer Willow Ufgood, who undertook a dangerous trek to protect a special baby from an evil queen. The film went on to be a cult favourite in the vein of Labyrinth (1986), and now the production company Lucasfilm has got itself so excited at the idea of creating this new Willow series that this is the first non- Star Wars content they've made since 2015. Rather than mounting a reboot of the original film, they've made this new Willow show a sequel, set years after the events of the movie. Reassuringly, Ron Howard is back as executive producer, and Davis reprises his role as Ufgood. The farmer will once again set…1 min
Heat|Issue 1219Freddie and Jason: Two Men In A TentITV, TUESDAY 29 NOVEMBER, 9PM We didn't realise cricket legend Freddie Flintoff and comedian Jason Manford were mates, but we guess if anything is going to bring two people together, it's sleeping within an inch of each other's faces in a cramped tent. Freddie and Jason have joined forces for this one-off special, which possibly seems a better fit for the summer TV schedules, but hey. Over an hour, we'll see the boys get to grips (or not) with all aspects of the pastime, from abseiling down cliff topsto pitchingtentsand trying to keep themselves - and us - entertained. They head to North Wales roeking up at Snowdonia National Park, the market town of Ruthin and also the port of Holyhead so beautiful scenery all round.…1 min

The America's Got Talent judge – who is already mum to Leni, 18, Henry, 17, Johan, 15, and 13-year-old Lou – recently revealed that she'd love to have a fifth baby with the Tokio Hotel rocker, but admitted, “I mean wanting it and it actually being possible are always different things.” Heidi continued, “The big 50 is just around the corner and things get harder when you get older.

This show came around pretty quickly, but it was such a great opportunity for me that I wasn't going to turn it down.

Heat|Issue 1219TOM ALLEN: ‘My hobbies are mainly sitting down!’heat interview Tom Allen's name crops up quite a lot in heat interviews. When celebs such as Rob Beckett and AJ Odudu have been asked who hosts the best parties, Tom is proffered surprisingly often. The 39-year-old comedian is bashful when we tell him, joking, “I'm surprised they say that. I create all these elaborate formalities to try and put them off.” The dapper South London native is a big fan of formality, and the fact that he now occasionally wears jogging bottoms and hoodies is a big deal, as he writes in his new book Too Much. As well as reminiscing about his youth, often spent feeling like a misfit, in hilarious and relatable anecdotes, the book also sees Tom grieving for his father Paul, who died suddenly in…7 min
