'I've always been a trendy dresser – I was a mod then a hippie when I was younger – but, because of my height, I struggle to find stylish outfits that fit well.'
SOLUTION
For shorter women, it can be hard to find trousers that won't need tailoring, which can be expensive. Look for shops that sell Petite lines, which are cut to flatter. We found these trousers for Janet in Next's Petite range. Or try standard cropped or culotte shapes. They usually fall to the perfect length.

Maya Jama has shared some loved-up snaps with footballer boyfriend Ruben Dias as she continues to enjoy balancing 'work and play'. The Love Island host, 30, found the time to post on Instagram between her busy schedule as she spends time between Mallorca and London. She posted a carousel dump from the last week which involved behind-the-scenes of filming and enjoying a holiday with the Man City player and their pals. In a post, she told fans: 'Work & play balancing [sparkle emoji].' In the slew of snaps, Maya looked incredible in a body-hugging dress, where she stood outside of the Love Island villa. She was later seen dancing away with her boyfriend as they watched the sunset on a boat trip together. The new couple cuddled and posed for a selfie where they looked happier than ever. When she wasn't booked and busy filming, the TV star enjoyed relaxing in the pool, sharing images of her in the water. She also switched off with some yoga in the mornings, with a stunning sea view from her room. Maya made sure to include some sexy bikini pics too, showing off her incredible curves. The couple recently enjoyed a holiday to Ibiza where they packed on the PDA. The presenter captioned the post: 'La isla de la magia' which translates to 'The Magic Island' and smitten Ruben quickly commented with a love heart emoji. Maya has been dating Ruben for several months and recently confirmed their romance on social media.

Georgia Toffolo's husband James Watt forced to deny claims she is pregnant as she shares a post promising 'major news' on romantic getaway
Georgia Toffolo 's husband James Watt has hit back at speculation she is expecting her first child after sharing a post teasing 'major news' on Instagram. The couple are currently away on holiday in Iceland and Georgia shared a selection of snaps from the romantic getaway, which included a salmon fishing trip. Underneath the gallery of images, one person commented: 'Are you pregnant?', to which Georgia's husband retorted: 'I don't think she is'. Several people commented underneath the exchange that it was inappropriate for anyone to ask the former Made In Chelsea star such a personal question. Georgia's 'major news' was actually that she had finally caught her first Atlantic salmon, which she revealed she had already tried many times in three countries. She sweetly captioned the photos: 'Making memories with my forever person'. Georgia and James looked as loved-up as ever in the snaps, as they gave an insight into their getaway which included picturesque walks and fishing. The former I'm A Celeb star looked typically chic, even in her fishing gear, which included a jumper and waterproof dungarees. Another look saw her sport a striped top underneath a cream knit sleeveless jumper, accessorising with a burnt orange head scarf and shades. The couple were also joined by two black Labradors. Georgia and James said 'I do' on a fishing boat earlier this year. However, they ditched their fishing attire for much more glamorous ensembles for their church service. The reality star looked out of this world in a strapless corset dress and flowing veil, while James opted for a classic navy suit. The couple settled their pre-wedding nerves with a slice of jam on toast and a cup of tea in James' granny's kitchen. She sweetly captioned the photos: 'Making memories with my forever person' She captioned her post: 'So relaxed and happy. Pictures taken at James' Granny's house just before the church yesterday. We really did it our way!' Sharing snaps of their special and unique day, Georgia revealed she travelled to the church in a transit van and held some daffodils freshly picked last minute in the morning. The bride almost suffered a fall as she slipped over the bottom of her dress while walking to the same church James' grandparents married in. James wrote on his Instagram: 'Georgia and I got married today. 'Some key details: 1st March 2025 57.6722° N, 2.3372° W (Gardenstown, Northeast Scotland) 6°C, 17-knot winds (because Scottish weather never disappoints) Spaniel ring bearer 'Guests - whoever could get there with 24 hours notice, Scottish honeymoon incoming 'Married in the same church my grandparents were married in' The pair got engaged in October after the millionaire proposed with an exquisite eight carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000 during a romantic getaway in Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday. And after the BrewDog founder previously insisted that the pair would be tying the knot this year, it appears that the couple were true to their word - though guests only had 48 hours notice to attend. Georgia looked stunning for her big day, slipping into a cream, fleece off-the-shoulder dress - perfect for keeping her warm in the chilly Scottish weather. The I'm A Celebrity star styled her blonde locks into an elegant up do' and added dainty diamond earrings and a flowing white veil to her bridal look. Perhaps not very bridal were the chunky brown boots she donned with the outfit, though this may have been for health and safety reasons amid their photoshoot on the boat. Meanwhile, James himself rocked an unconventional wedding outfit, donning a cream beanie hat and a thick cream jumper worn beneath blue fishing overalls. The couple certainly appeared to get in the spirit of things, with Georgia and James pulling different expressions as they got to grips with some lobsters. Georgia's post was greeted with a plethora of delightful comments from her fans and celebrity pals, who were equally shocked and overjoyed at her big news. After sharing her images to social media, Georgia shared a video to her Instagram stories shortly after walking down the aisle, excitedly remarking: 'We just got married!' Georgia, who was sat in a car next to James - who at this point was clad in a smart, dark suit - said to the camera: 'It was so unchoreographed! We just came out the church and were like "wait, where do we go now?" So we just sat in the car!

Millionaire family who blow £40k per holiday muck out sheep on Lancashire camping trip, in Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday
A MILLIONAIRE couple, who have £2500 a week in disposable income were left horrified when they had to muck out alpacas as a "fun" activity on Channel 5's Rich Holiday, Poor Holiday. After giving the Leaf family a glimpse into their lives by taking them to a hotel in Malta that cost more per night than their monthly rent, the Dissont family were whisked off to rural Lancashire for a budget break. 3 3 Health and Aesthetics clinic owners Sam and Andre, who earn up to £80,000 a month, blow up to £40,000 on a single break, so they were less than impressed by the Leaf's glamping holiday, with Andre describing the glamping pods as akin to a "sewage silo." "It's smaller than some of the bathrooms in the hotel's we've stayed in", said Sam, who is used to five star luxury. "I've never been on a holiday where I could touch all four walls at the same time", Andre admitted. The couple and their 14-year-old daughter were immediately unsure whether they would be able to hack the trip. "There's no holiday feel to it, it's just endurance", said Andre, after having to lug his suitcase across a muddy field. The posh family, from Cheshire, who blew £155 on a guided tour in Malta, were shocked to find that the same cost was their entire spending budget for the four-day Lancashire trip. "That is so tight", Andre fumed. "We spend that much money just on getting to the airport." The holiday doesn't get off to a great start, with Sam moaning about the cold temperatures and the fact they're "stuck in a field", with nowhere to go. The couple were horrified by the communal bathroom, and couldn't believe that they had to cook food for themselves. Inside 'real-life Love Island' where super-rich 'drop £3k a day' and kinky clubs sweep up boozy Brits booted out from Ibiza "When it comes to a holiday, I want to be catered for", Andre said. Sam completely refused to use the shared shower and decided to fast rather than eat a breakfast of eggs on toast. Activities on the trip included volunteering with alpacas and paddle boarding, which Andre described as "holiday hell." And although the family did enjoy cuddling the animals, they were less than impressed when it came to mucking them out. Top Hacks for Holidaying with Kids IF you've got plans to go on holiday with your little ones this summer, here's some advice to take on board. Plan Ahead: Book accommodations with family-friendly amenities. Research kid-friendly attractions and activities. Make travel arrangements that accommodate your children's schedules. Pack Smart: Create a packing checklist to ensure you don't forget essentials. Pack a mix of familiar and new toys to keep kids entertained. Bring snacks, extra clothes, and emergency supplies in your carry-on. Travel Comfort: Use neck pillows and blankets for a more comfortable journey. Download movies, games, and music on tablets or phones. Schedule travel during nap times or overnight to maximise sleep. Stay Organized: Use packing cubes to keep clothes and items sorted. Keep important documents, like passports and tickets, in a dedicated folder. Utilise apps for itinerary management and navigation. Engage and Entertain: Plan interactive activities like scavenger hunts or travel journals. Explore local parks, playgrounds, and kid-friendly museums. Involve kids in trip planning to get them excited and engaged. Maintain Routine: Stick to regular meal and sleep times as much as possible. Bring along comfort items, like favorite blankets or stuffed animals. Allow for downtime to avoid overstimulation. Stay Flexible: Be prepared to adjust plans based on your children's needs and moods. Embrace the unexpected and make the most of impromptu moments. Keep a positive attitude to set the tone for a fun and memorable trip. These hacks can help make your holiday with kids smoother, more enjoyable, and will ensure that you return home with wonderful memories! "I work hard anyway, I don't need to do that when I'm on holiday", Andre fumed. The Dissont's couldn't wait to get home to their huge mansion, after admitting that their perspective on budget holidays hadn't changed. However, daughter Kasia said she enjoyed the £900 Lancashire break just as much as the £16,000 Malta getaway. The rich family showed their generous side though, by offering to pay for the Bolton-based Leafs to go on holiday to Greece. "You totally deserve it", they told the "selfless" family. In floods of tears, the grateful family said the gift was "incredible".
