A major January beauty sale has seen the price of Estee Lauder’s ‘hydrating and firming’ skincare bundle slashed by 50% with shoppers saying it improved their skin in ‘one week’

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that the winter weather is playing havoc with our skin. No matter how much moisturiser we put on, the cold January air (not to mention the excessive use of central heating) has left our skin feeling dry, dull and more than a little lacklustre.

Hydration is, obviously, the secret to keeping your skin looking and feeling its best, but if it needs a little boost to see it through winter, then this Exclusive Estée Lauder Wake Up Radiant Repair, Firm and Hydrate Set from LookFantastic is a great starting point. And to make it even more appealing, it’s now on sale with a huge 50% saving, bringing it down from £111 to £55.50.

Whilst there isn’t a complete skincare regime included in the set, it is a great way to get your hands on the brand’s best-selling Advanced Night Repair Serum , which costs a huge £65 all on its own. The set contains a full-size 30ml bottle of the serum, plus two travel-sized 15ml bottles of it that are perfect for taking on the go.

That means the Exclusive Estée Lauder Wake Up Radiant Repair, Firm and Hydrate Set gets you £130 worth of the serum for just £55 – £10 cheaper than if you bought a single bottle on its own. The serum itself is also award winning, and lauded for its ability to keep skin feeling hydrated and radiant for up to 72 hours.

The set currently only has one review, from a shopper who gave it five stars and said: “Amazing product, my skin feels better in 1 week, highly recommend!”

It contains hyaluronic acid and Chronolux Power Signal Technology, which work together to lock in moisture, soften your skin and smooth and plump it, leaving it hydrated and more radiant. The Advanced Night Repair Serum is designed to be used as part of your evening skincare routine, which means it works all of its magic while you sleep.

If you do want a more complete set that helps build up a full skincare routine, this Estée Lauder The Glow Effect Set is £80 down from £100 at Sephora, and contains six different products from the glow and hydration-boosting range. It includes a cleanser, eye cream, serum and moisturiser amongst others, giving your skin everything it needs to survive winter.

Alternatively, you could head to Cult Beauty where this Byoma Skin Barrier 101 Routine that’s worth £66 is available for £58.99. You get five full size products; a cleanser, toner, serum, moisturiser and SPF, which all help to improve your skin’s barrier and lock in moisture.

BBC presenter Gabby Logan opened up about the realities of grief ahead of fresh heartache following the death of her father, former footballer Terry Yorath

On Wednesday evening, Gabby Logan made a swift exit from Match of the Day midway through the programme, with Mark Chapman stepping in to present the rest of the show. Addressing the sudden switch, he told viewers: “Sadly Gabby has got a family emergency that she’s had to rush off and deal with.

“She’s gone to do that and I’ve come from the radio to finish the show.”

It has now been confirmed that Gabby’s father, Terry Yorath, has died aged 75 after a brief illness.

Terry, known as a Welsh professional footballer and manager, played for numerous clubs, including Leeds United and the Wales national team.

Gabby, 53, has not yet issued a personal statement regarding her father’s death, but a message attributed to Terry’s children reads: “To most he was a revered footballing hero, but to us he was dad; a quiet, kind and gentle man. Our hearts are broken but we take comfort knowing that he will be reunited with our brother, Daniel.”

The mum-of-two has previously opened up about the sudden loss of her younger brother Daniel, and how the tragedy profoundly impacted her family.

Daniel was only 15 when he died in 1992 while playing football with their father.

Reflecting on that heartbreaking time, she said on BBC Wales Live: “He was playing football in the garden with my dad and he fell over.

“My dad thought he just was messing about and went over and rolled him over, and he basically died on the spot – and had no previous indications whatsoever that there were any health problems at all with him.

“It’s like a sledgehammer coming down and sending everybody off in different directions, because it’s such a catastrophic thing to happen, and no warning – and everybody responds differently.”

A post-mortem examination later confirmed that Daniel died from undiagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a congenital heart condition.

Speaking about how the heartbreak affected her dad, Gabby told BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs: “My dad was very much a person who felt the glass was half empty already and for him, this was confirmation that life was no good and he kind of pulled himself away from a lot of our family life.”

As the eldest child, aged 19 at the time, Gabby said she “assumed quite a lot of responsibility” following her brother’s death, adding: “I went and picked up his death certificate, for example.”

At the time, she was also studying at university but struggled to cope with the weight of grief.

Speaking on the Performance People podcast, she said: “I was running around running from my grief probably and then by the end of my first year at university, so just around the time of his first anniversary I had some first year exams and it all kind of came crashing down.

“I’d stopped sleeping properly. I felt very wobbly, I just kind of lost my balance and I went to see a doctor and he gave me some sleeping tablets and I thought ‘That’s not what I need’.”

Gabby has since sought therapy to help process her grief and has admitted that it can still “blindside” her all these years later.

Josh Tapper appeared on Gogglebox alongside his family from 2013 to 2017 – but where is the former TV star now?

Gogglebox’s Josh Tapper was a firm favourite on the Channel 4 show – but what is he up to now?

Josh made his debut on the programme when he was just 15, during its first-ever series back in 2013, alongside the rest of his family: dad Jonathan, mum Nikki, and sister Amy.

And it’s fair to say it didn’t take long for the Tapper family to become firm favourites with fans, thanks to their hilarious quips, never failing to make the viewers laugh.

Sadly, though, the family called it quits from the show when son Josh left Gogglebox in 2017 to work in government after landing a Civil Service apprenticeship. Amy followed suit and quit to appear on Celebs Go Dating in 2018.

At the time, a source told The Mirror: “Channel 4 will, of course, keep the door open for him [Josh], but it’s a really exciting opportunity for him. It’s a much-coveted job. Josh has already started having meetings within No.10.”

Meanwhile, talking about his time on the show, Josh revealed in 2022 that it “suddenly blew up out of nowhere” for him and his family. He told Jewish News: “I spent the next five years living that life while also trying to live a normal life.

“But I was the guy who was on TV. My days were long as we were filming the scenes in addition to school.”

In 2022, Josh made a move into politics, announcing his intention to run for a Labour MP. He was selected as the candidate for Hertsmere and shared his excitement on X, formerly Twitter: “I’m thrilled and honoured to have been selected as Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Hertsmere.

“Thank you so much to local members for your support – I won’t let you down. The work to unseat the Deputy Prime Minister starts now!”

In 2024, Josh was chosen as the Labour candidate in a bid to unseat Oliver Dowden from Parliament and said he was feeling “thrilled and honoured” to be selected. Despite Oliver Dowden holding the seat since 2019, Josh was defeated by 7,992 votes.

Meanwhile, more recently, Josh married his long-term partner, Hannah, after being together for nine years. The announcement of Josh’s wedding in March 2025 was shared by his sister, Amy, who posted a collection of photos and videos from the joyous family celebration.

Expressing her excitement, Amy wrote: “The New Mr and Mrs Tapper! No words to describe this incredible day from start to finish…”

She continued: “I’d say welcome to the family @hannahtapper_ but you’ve been a part of it for 9 years now… this just means officially forever. I love you both more than words will ever describe @joshtapper.”

It is exactly six years since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dropped the bombshell that they were quitting their royal roles – and things look very different now

It was the bombshell statement that rocked the Royal Family and sent shockwaves around the world. Exactly six years ago today, Prince Harry and Meghan sensationally announced that they were quitting as working royals in order to “carve out a progressive new role” in the institution and become financially independent.

The move reportedly left the royals, including the late Queen, ‘blindsided’, forcing the monarch to issue an unprecedented statement confirming the pair would no longer carry out official duties. But nobody could have foresaw what would happen next, with the Sussexes moving to California, giving a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey where they railed against the Royal Family before levelling more criticism against their treatment in a controversial Netflix documentary.

Fast-forward to today, Harry is all but estranged from both his father, King Charles and brother Prince William as he continues his charity work, while Meghan focuses on her lifestyle brand, As Ever.

And given the sorry state of affairs when it comes to his family bonds, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes the Sussexes may feel a tinge of regret of how their exit from the royal fold played out.

She told the Mirror : “If you think back to when they left, it was all incredibly melodramatic. In a breathless video filmed on board the plane leaving the UK, Harry gave the impression they were almost fleeing for their lives.

“There had clearly been many hot-headed moments and, with the benefit of hindsight, they may well feel they could have done things differently. I’m sure Harry would never have wanted to hurt his grandmother, but he put her in the most invidious position, and she took a firm stand.

“We now know that he feels that life is precious and short, and, in an ideal world, he would very much like a reconciliation with his father and his brother.

“He says he doesn’t want to fight any longer. But, when there has been so much anger and hurt, the path to a reunion was never going to be easy.”

The anniversary of ‘Megxit’ also coincides with another milestone that is fast-approaching for Harry. Saturday marks exactly three years since the publication of his explosive memoir, Spare.

From details about a physical altercation between Harry and Prince William at Kensington Palace to a tense showdown at Prince Philip’s funeral, and tension between the brothers and their wives, Kate and Meghan, Harry took aim at the entire family, seemingly not holding anything back.

It is believed that Harry has not spoken to his brother William since before the publication of the book – with no signs of their feud thawing.

In recent months, Harry has indicated he would like a reconciliation with his family – and last year had a face-to-face meeting with his father, the first for 19 months, while on a trip to the UK.

But with another visit to the UK on the cards in a few weeks, it has been reported that another meet-up with his father in unlikely. And Jennie added: “Everything was obviously made so much worse by all the revelations, accusations and betrayals of confidence in Harry‘s book. He has squandered his family’s trust in him, and that is a notoriously hard thing to regain.

“He seems ready now to forgive and forget, but life just isn’t that easy. It’s all very well for him to feel he has aired all his grievances, so now he feels better and it’s time to move on. That’s not how it always works.

“He and Meghan are, however, pretty settled in California it would seem. They wanted freedom, independence and the ability to earn their living. They got all of that plus two lovely kids, a huge house, a celebrity lifestyle and a warm climate. What’s not to like?”
