Modern British cityscapes aren't just bland – they're killing us too
In the first series of Building Soul with Thomas Heatherwick (Radio 4, Monday), the British designer had an alarming theory. Modern architecture in British cities isn't merely bland and monotonous and alienating, it's dangerous too. Swathes of urban areas being transformed into homogenous, rectangular, glass-filled deserts rots the very fabric of society, makes us physically ill and, just maybe, can cause wars. Our buildings are killing us. It was ear-catching stuff and, if you're anything like me, completely persuasive – cities worldwide are being rapidly flipped into soulless mini-Dubais. Next time you're in a foreign city, head to the newest part of town. It could be Rotterdam or anywhere, etc. Having converted me to his cause, Heatherwick has returned with a new series with a radical solution. Out with the Nimbies and the Yimbies – what we need are Pabbimbies (tortured acronym, author's own). Pabbimbies (people against boring buildings in my back yard) are Heatherwick's secret weapon in what he calls Britain's 'blandemic'. Once again, I was persuaded. In 2025, no building project can be undertaken without its environmental impact being taken into consideration. Developers have had to go green, because the Government has demanded it. And the Government has demanded it because we, the people, have decided it's important. Can we do the same with beauty or, to borrow a Heatherwick phrase, 'interestingness'? Heatherwick tried to get to the bottom of who was to blame for this blandemic, but found a thoroughly modern and thoroughly depressing unvirtuous circle. It's not the politicians or the city planners or the developers or the architects who are to blame, it's all of them. And none of them. Each feel powerless while thinking of the others as all-powerful. Adam Curtis, whose latest documentary series focused on how disenfranchised British people have become, would have nodded along approvingly. Yet the British people can mobilise when it comes to buildings. We campaign to save them, we renovate them, we adore them, we travel hundreds of miles to look at them, we pay annual subscriptions to organisations that exist to prop them up. We just need to take this energy, which we seem to reserve for old buildings, and channel it into new buildings. We revere our architectural past, we should demand a say in our architectural future. It matters too. In a chat with Kevin McCloud, the celebrity house renovator, Heatherwick hit upon something startling and depressing. Discussing Peter Barbour's extraordinary Edgewood Mews, a housing project in Finchley, London, that resembles the fortifications of a particularly groovy medieval Spanish town, Heatherwick described it as 'generous'. McCloud agreed. 'It's a gift to humanity,' he said. Once again – go and find the newest development near you. Can it be described as generous or a gift to humanity? More likely it's miserly and a blight. If you're ever in north London, go to see Edgewood Mews. It's worth the trip. Heatherwick didn't exactly explain how we Pabbimbies should mobilise and rise up against our glass and steel overlords, but there are two episodes left in the series so hopefully our instructions will come. What's clear is that change won't happen unless we demand it. 'In France, the architect is seen to not know the value of the sunset,' said the architect Kengo Kuma (look up his work – now there's interestingness). We can add city planners, politicians and developers to that too. Those of us who do know the value of the sunset cannot allow our urban areas to be dictated by those who do not. Pabbimbies assemble! Episode one of Building Soul with Thomas Heatherwick is on BBC Sounds now and continues on Mondays on Radio 4 at 9.30am

Princess Andre reveals why she'd never call out mum Katie Price over ‘rift' amid accusations star ‘tried to overshadow'
PRINCESS Andre has revealed the reason she never calls out her mum after a disagreement or issue. The 18-year-old admitted 'it's not worth' bringing things up with Katie Price in a telling comment amid reports of ongoing tension between the pair. 3 In an interview over the weekend, Princess - whose dad is Peter Andre - addressed her recent birthday party, which Katie wasn't invited to. Speaking to The Guardian, ITV's The Princess Diaries star, said it was 'interesting' her mum had told the media about not attending the bash. And when asked why she didn't call Katie to ask her about it, Princess said 'it wasn't worth it', adding: 'Mum can be annoyed about something and then we send each other a message and we're fine.' She candidly explained that Katie would never have been invited because her parents 'don't like each other.' 'It would be quite strange for my mum and dad to be in it at the same time, just because that's never been the case in my life since they split up,' she said. Princess turned 18 back in June, and at the time Katie claimed she wasn't invited because she had been banned from appearing in The Princess Diaries. Speaking on her The Katie Price Show podcast at the time, she said: "Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. "Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me." Her sister Sophie chipped in: "You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why." Katie then said: "It's pathetic. I'm her mother. Princess Andre breaks silence on Peter and Katie's bitter feud after his blistering statement "I'm just saying, Princess was like 'I'm having a party'. And I wasn't invited because it was for 'filming.'" Sources at the time told the Mirror that Katie has been trying to "insert herself" into Princess's career and her "attention-seeking" behaviour just 24 hours before her new ITV show aired was to "overshadow" the launch. 'It was all in the diary but then Katie claimed she couldn't make it as she was abroad. It was disappointing," a source told the publication. 'For Katie to then say she was banned from the afternoon's filmed party when she was the no-show in the morning is just beyond belief.' 3 Katie admitted her frustrations, saying: 'I'm not making money off my daughter. So I am fuming about the situation, but at the same time, I want Princess to do well and I back her in every way. "The family, we're all fuming about it. How, again, not one member of our family or anything are involved in anything Princess does." But the source insisted that Katie should not have "made it all about her" the eve of her daughter's show, regardless of what's happened. While another source said it was "unfair" for Princess to be forced to deal with this fallout so publicly before her big TV career move.

Karren Brady's astonishing glow-up – and how much it cost her
A sleek blow-dry, a deep tan, a preternaturally smooth, sculpted visage: at first glance, it could be Melania Trump – or one of the female members of her husband's cabinet. In fact, it is 56-year-old Karren Brady, the businesswoman and television personality best known for the BBC's The Apprentice. Baroness Brady has always been a glamorously groomed figure, but in a series of recent photographs and videos posted to her Instagram account, she looks strikingly different, and undeniably Maga-esque. In a white broderie anglaise midi dress by House of CB, paired with a waist-cinching Chanel belt, Brady hardly resembled a typical grandmother of one (soon to be two). Her svelte figure has sparked weight jab rumours. However, in the past she's insisted that this is down to lifestyle changes rather than weight loss drugs. Last year, she told the Daily Mail: 'I became a grandma, and I wanted to be a fit healthy grandma, so I started eating healthy and exercising.' She's been transparent about having aesthetic work done in the past, including a £3,500 non-surgical facelift in 2024. The caption accompanying her recent post gave some insight into another treatment she's undergone. 'I never thought I'd have the confidence to wear short sleeves again, but after a course of Exion skin tightening with radiofrequency, I can,' she wrote. This skin-tightening treatment, a course of which costs up to £5,000, stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid to firm without needles or downtime. But as well as sculpted arms, Brady seems to have undergone a more comprehensive transformation, with Melania, Lauren Sánchez-Bezos and other fans of the 'Republican beauty' look firmly on the moodboard. So, how much does it cost to have a full-on Maga glow-up? We asked the experts to find out their estimates. The aesthetic work: £25,000+ 'Karren Brady's transformation is more than clever makeup or flattering light, but I don't think she's had surgery' says Dr Paris Acharya. 'Over the years, she has always been open about having non-surgical treatments and her look suggests treatment stacking, rather than a single intervention. It's likely a strategic blend of technologies, injectables and longevity protocols layered together.' Alongside skin tightening treatments like Exion, Acharya says this face and body 'stack' is likely to have included laser work, biostimulants like polynucleotides and injectables like Profhilo and Botox. According to Acharya, a glow-up of this calibre typically totals up to £25,000 annually at a leading clinic, and its popularity is on the rise among certain groups. 'Younger women and high-profile patients including brides, media personalities, women in law and finance are now leaning towards a more glamorous edit: defined jawlines, sculpted mid-faces and lips with presence,' says Acharya. 'The look is intentional – designed to hold under cameras, command boardrooms and shine in bridal portraits.' The teeth: £26,000+ Brady's gleaming pearly whites are unlikely not to have had some intervention – especially given that she's over 55. 'She appears to have had porcelain veneers,' says leading cosmetic dentist Dr Rhona Eskander. 'You can see how they create a uniform, symmetrical smile with a bright white shade that reflects light evenly. Veneers like these are designed to mask imperfections in colour and shape, while enhancing harmony with the lips and face.' Veneers with Dr Eskander start from £1,300 per tooth. The jewellery: £340,000 Glittering diamonds and statement stones are the order of the day for Brady, with striking ring stacks worn on both hands. 'From what can be seen, her main ring appears to be an emerald-cut diamond of around seven carats on a platinum band,' says Charlotte Needham, founder of British jewellery brand The Promise Co. 'If it is a natural diamond of high colour and clarity, you could expect a piece like this to fall in the region of £200,000-£300,000. She wears it alongside a diamond eternity band, which, depending on the quality and size of the stones, could add another £30,000-£40,000.' The outfit: £2,189 Brady's cotton broderie anglaise midi dress, which is now out of stock at British brand House of CB, retails for £189. Meanwhile, her waist-cinching belt from Chanel is likely to have cost up to £2,000. The tan: £250 Brady might have been enjoying the sun (at home in Britain as well as abroad), but experts agree that she's likely to have had a spray tan, which can cost up to £250. James Read, tanning expert and founder of Self Glow, has noticed that deeper tans are catching on among those opting for at-home tanning too. 'I've noticed a rise in people 'double dipping' – layering two products on the same day to build a richer, more glamorous glow,' he says. 'It's about achieving depth and strength in the tan without it overpowering the rest of the look. The effect is bold but still polished, moving from a weekend-away glow to a two-week-away glow.' The makeup look: £429 Neat, defined brows, nude lips and a statement eye seem to be all the hallmarks of the Republican-glam beauty look – and Brady ticks all the boxes. Especially notable are her eyelashes, as Edy Kurowska of Edy London Lashes explains. 'I think she is wearing strip lashes – I'd be very surprised if anybody was bold enough to apply such thick extensions on a semi-permanent basis,' says Kurowska, who prefers to individually apply faux lashes for a more natural look. 'Her makeup looks like it's been done professionally, so it's probably a makeup artist who applied them as part of a full look, which would cost around £200 a pop.' Her eyebrows, meanwhile, are likely altered on a more permanent basis. 'Karen has great brows that really frame her face,' says Vanita Parti, founder of Blink Brow Bar, where a 'total brow package' costs £229. 'She may have had a brow lamination treatment that tames the brows so they're easier to shape.' The hair: £745 The insouciantly tousled hairstyles may still reign in many beauty circles, but for proponents of the Maga look, it's all about bombshell blow-dries with plenty of sleek length and bouncy volume. The colour has changed too – a lighter, shinier take on the caramel highlights Brady has had for years, likely achieved via balayage. At Neville Hair & Beauty in Knightsbridge, where the big, bouncy blow-dry reigns supreme among expertly groomed clients, a full head of balayage with a senior colourist costs £495, while a cut and blow-dry will set you back £250. The nails: £70+ Like Lauren Sanchez-Bezos, Brady favours a chunky French manicure – a more traditional take than the minimalist versions that have become popular in recent years. A luxurious gel manicure at a high-end salon like Townhouse will set her back upward of £70.
