Lorraine Kelly shares her on-screen secrets for thicker, ‘younger' looking hair
ITV presenter Lorraine Kelly has just shared how her hair stylist makes her hair look thicker and fuller on camera – and it's easier and cheaper than you might think Fine or thinning hair is a common beauty concern for many, especially at certain times of life including after pregnancy, during periods or illness or when going through the menopause. However, Lorraine Kelly – with the help of her hair stylist – has shared how she gets her hair to look thick and full when working on camera. In a video on the Lorraine show's YouTube channel, the TV presenter discusses how you hair is such a big part of your identity, and how a good head of hair "can make you look young". The star's hair stylist Helen then demonstrates how she boosts Lorraine's hair using a few simple products that you can find on the high street. After adding shape and volume to Lorraine's hair with a curling tong and velcro rollers (which cost just a few quid), Helen separates and slightly backcombs sections of the 65 year old's hair before adding a few strips of clip-in hair extensions, focusing on the back of the head rather than the sides. The colour of the hair extensions used is also slightly lighter than Lorraine's own hair colour to avoid it looking "blocky". After some final tonging, the end result is one that Lorraine calls "really natural" with added volume, and praises how she doesn't feel like she's got anything in. Helen doesn't mention the exact brand of hair extensions she uses here but says that they were picked up cheaply from a shop on the high street, then trimmed to the correct length. We've rounded up some of our favourites, with something to suit all budgets... Best clip-in hair extensions Beauty Works 16" Deluxe Remy Instant Clip-In Extensions, currently from £111.19 (usual price from £152.99) Beauty Works is one of the leading brands for hair extensions, loved by celebrities such as the Kardashians and Molly-Mae Hague. Although not the cheapest, the quality is excellent, and there's the best range of shades, lengths and styles to suit all hair types, in our opinion. Shoppers can also currently save 10% with the code SUMMERSALE. Look after them well and they'll last you a lifetime. Lullabellz Thick 14" 1 Piece Blow Dry Wavy Clip-in Hair Extensions, £22 These are excellent value, and also feature a handy shade matching feature on the website plus instructions on how to expertly apply them. For mega volume, go for the five-piece set of extensions. Cliphair One Piece Clip In Hair Extensions (Top-Up), from £60 Made from real human hair, we were impressed with the range of colours from Cliphair, plus how they give the weights to different types (45g for a one-piece, up to 300g for an 'ultra-volume full head'). The clip-in fridges and ponytails are also fun.

The 'worrying' royal protocol Prince William and Prince George will NOT follow, according to experts on Palace Confidential
Prince George turned 12 on July 22 - an important milestone for the future king in more ways than one. On the latest episode of Palace Confidential, the Mail's panel of experts discussed the new royal protocol the young prince faces - and the reasons why he and his father Prince William will not be following it. Citing a former royal helicopter pilot, Richard Eden, the Daily Mail's Diary Editor, said: 'When Prince William reached the age of 12, he stopped travelling with his father so they had separate flights. Obviously, that is to guarantee the line of succession. 'It will be very interesting to see whether that's the case with George and William because we know they have travelled together either via plane, helicopter or car.' But this is when Rebecca English, the Daily Mail's Royal Editor, who has been covering the royal beat since 2004, interjected. 'I spoke to the Palace this week,' she said, 'and they were like "Well, it's kind of news to us." 'I get the impression that the family won't be changing their travel arrangements at all.' Jo Elvin, who hosts the hit YouTube show as well as making regular appearances on ITV's Lorraine, was puzzled by the Palace's response. 'I remember being a kid and my father telling me about that as a bit of royal protocol,' she said. 'It's weird.' 'Yeah,' Richard said. 'They don't like talking about security and talking about travel arrangements. 'But I have to say, I mean, it's not a very tasteful discussion, but it is the future of our royal family and I personally find it very worrying. 'Look, after the Wales Family, we have Harry and Meghan!' he exclaimed. 'I'm sure this isn't true but there were some rumours that Meghan had said something about "we're only one plane crash away from being on the throne." 'I am sure she didn't as it's a very tasteless comment but the fact is, Prince Harry and Meghan could be on the throne and that is something, I would say, would be a threat to the future of the monarchy.' Pleading to the Wales Family, he said: 'Come on, even though it's not great for the environment, please put George on a separate flight and a separate helicopter from his father.' 'My understanding is that he would still be able to travel with his mother,' Jo added. To which Rebecca replied: 'Yeah, but as I say, I don't think the family will change their travel plans at all.' This does not seem to align with the wishes of King Charles and the late Queen Elizabeth II - both of whom expressed their concerns about the Wales Family flying together. 'Not only do they travel together,' Richard explained, 'Prince William, who is a qualified helicopter pilot, actually flies the helicopter. 'According to Robert Jobson's book, the King didn't like William flying the whole family and urged him to stop. 'It is something that Queen Elizabeth expressed her concerns about as well. I think she was always keen to make sure that she did travel separately from the heir-to-the-throne Charles. 'It is a matter of some importance, I would say,' he added. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams added important historical context as to why this rule was followed so ardently by the late Queen. The experienced royal commentator told MailOnline that the bizarre rule was established following a string of tragic deaths in the family involving aircrafts. 'The unexpected can happen, as with Prince William of Gloucester's tragic death in 1972, though this was in a competition,' Richard said. 'Prince George, Duke of Kent also died in a plane crash in 1942, which has become controversial. 'Prince Philip's sister, Cecile, died in a plane crash in 1937, giving birth to a stillborn child,' he added. These tragedies have only served to reinforce the Royal Family's belief in ensuring the heirs travel separately. Richard noted that a similar policy exists across the pond where the President never travels by plane with the Vice-President. Whilst this new royal protocol may be one that the Wales Family choose not to follow, it is just one of many rules George and his siblings are subject to. These include always travelling with a change of black clothes should a member of the family die unexpectedly. This rule was introduced after King George VI died while Elizabeth was in Kenya and she did not have any black clothes. The children also face limits on what they can and can't wear with the girls expected to wear dresses and the boys must wear shorts. On top of this, they can never eat shellfish while on a royal tour to avoid food poisoning.

Janet Street-Porter addresses Loose Women future as she plans to 'bully ITV boss'
Speaking in a recent podcast episode, Janet Street-Porter detailed how the number of shows would be reduced to the "level it started", but also had some encouraging words for fans Janet Street-Porter has opened up about the future of Loose Women and revealed that she plans to "bully" the boss of ITV Studios. Speaking on the Off Air with Jane and Fi podcast, the panellist shed light on the financial pressures facing ITV, adding that its advertising revenue had been "diminishing hugely". ITV announced in May that it would axe more than 220 jobs and impose cuts to popular shows like Loose Women and Lorraine as it sought to claw back what Janet described as a "massive amount" of savings. When asked to discuss the "fate" of the show, Janet had some encouraging words for fans. She described how the number of shows had risen "inexorably" over the years and would be reduced back to the level it started on. She confirmed the show would air for 30 weeks of the year (or 150 episodes) and revealed that she'd presented her case for the show to Kevin Lygo, the managing director of ITV Studios, whom she knows "very well." Janet said: "So, I've said to him in no uncertain terms what I feel about it, which is that Loose Women performs a valuable service. "It talks about things women are interested in, in a pretty straightforward way. It gives people a bit of a laugh in the middle of the day, doesn't take itself too seriously." When asked if the show would "carry on", she responded: "Yes, course it's carrying on! Of course it's carrying on. It's carrying on for 30 weeks of next year and maybe more if I can bully Kevin Lygo into submission." She added that the bullying was "metaphorically speaking". Following the ITV announcement, fellow panellist Nadia Sawalha described the cuts as "out of the blue" and "absolutely brutal" for people working on the daytime chat show. Opening up on her YouTube channel at the time, Nadia said: "What's been brutal, absolutely brutal, over the last week, honestly I feel tearful about it, is that hundreds of people... are going to be made redundant out of the blue, these are all the people behind the scenes that support us in every way." Meanwhile, reports have emerged this week that the broadcaster plans to step up its cost-cutting strategy further, adding an additional £15 million to the £30 million already announced. ITV said that although the economic environment "remains uncertain," the broadcaster can expect a "better outturn" for the full year 2025, noting that it was "driven by these cost efficiencies." Carolyn McCall, ITV chief executive, said: "ITV is now a leaner, more digital business in a strong position to compete and succeed in a changing market. "We are on track to deliver our 2026 key financial targets, with sustained good growth in ITV Studios and ITVX coupled with strategic cost management as we reshape our cost base to reflect the dynamics of the industry in which we operate."

Lorraine Kelly fans desperate to know where to buy her 'beautiful' summer holiday dress
Lorraine Kelly was seen wearing a stunning summer dress from Boden as she jetted off to Zimbabwe - and some fans may have recognised the piece from the presenter's ITV show All too often, TV presenters wear an item once in the studio, never to be seen again. But Lorraine Kelly was recently spotted outfit-repeating a gorgeous summer frock that eagle-eyed fans recognised from her eponymous ITV show. The 65-year-old presenter sported the Boden Chirstabel Cotton Midi Dress in a 'gallery blue and walled garden' print as she jetted off to Zimbabwe. Priced at £126, the dress has been a hit with shoppers and has even been hailed as the 'perfect summer dress'. The ITV host was first seen in her Boden dress on last Friday's episode of Lorraine, and then again over the weekend as she embarked on her African adventure. Made from airy cotton, the dress is designed in a fit and flare style to complement the figure, falling to mid-calf length. The V-neckline ensures the wearer stays cool, while the detachable self-tie fabric belt creates a slimming silhouette. The dress also features side seam pockets, reports the Express . For a limited period, customers can use the code W7CX to snag the piece for £107.10 - a tidy saving of 15%. ASOS' Hope & Ivy midi smock dress offers a similar design, but its clever panel-waist cut provides a flattering look without a belt, priced at £95. New ASOS customers can enjoy a 10% discount and free next-day delivery using the code: NEWHERE. The Blue Floral Border Print Pocket Midi Dress from Roman has received a full five-star rating from customers. Priced at £42, this 'flattering' dress is perfect for a laid-back holiday ensemble. It features a wrap V-neckline, stripe border trim and practical side pockets. The airy, short sleeves add a dash of charm to the outfit, while the stretch-shirred waist guarantees comfort throughout the day. Lorraine's Instagram followers were quick to comment on her Boden frock , with one commenting: "Safe travels. Love your dress, where is it from please?" Another echoed the sentiment, asking: "You had that dress on your show the other day. Where is it from? Love blue." The Christabel dress also comes in a slightly darker "glacier blue and ornate vine" shade or a "pink and wildflower bouquet" print - both retailing at £129. One satisfied customer left a glowing five-star review, writing: "This dress is perfect for summer. The material is lovely and soft. It isn't lined, but that makes it perfect for Mediterranean holidays." Another shopper praised: "Beautiful dress, super light and airy fabric. It fits really nicely and is just the epitome of a summer dress." However, the V-neckline could pose a problem for those with larger busts. One reviewer pointed out: "Gorgeous shape of skirt, but this dress is not for anyone with bigger busts as the waist of this dress is too high," while another added: "Beautiful print though possibly a bit much for petites. Main issue was that the waist was too high even in petite size." Another shopper garnered praise after donning the Boden dress for a 'posh lunch', sharing: "It's so comfortable to wear and did not crease." Customers can check out all available sizes of the Boden Christabel Cotton Midi Dress, here.
