With the best in the business descending on Cannes Film Festival this week, here’s how and where to find all of your favourite famous faces – but be warned, celeb-spotting isn’t cheap

Cannes Film Festival kicks off today with a star-studded opening ceremony on the Côte d’Azur, and with celebrities like Robert De Niro and Bella Hadid in attendance, there’s plenty of star spotting to be done.

I’m here at the film festival and have already paid a visit to some of the locations the A-list are residing in, with Julia Garner, Naomie Harris and Bella Hadid all just touching distance away.

The Carlton Cannes, A Regent Hotel, is where you’re likely to find Julia Garner, Naomie Harris and Mobland star Ansel Boone. These celebs are staying in the beachfront haven and are amongst those attending Tuesday’s invite-only Vanity Fair lunch at the hotel’s beach club.

Perfect for people watching, I spotted Julia grabbing a drink in the lobby while Ansel laughed along with pals by the door, so very casual.

However, paying a visit to this hotel won’t be cheap, with a diet coke from the lobby bar coming in at €14, while the cheapest drink on the menu is an espresso coffee at €9. They will bring you some nuts and olives though, if that helps the blow…

Across the beach is the coveted Hôtel Martinez, which this year is housing the likes of Bella Hadid and Heidi Klum. If you’re looking to catch some nonchalant A-list action, this is the place to hang around.

Heidi and her husband Tom Kaulitz arrived to the five-star hotel yesterday, joining Andie MacDowell and supermodel Irina Shayk.

With Chopard taking over it’s rooftop bar for their star-studded line-up of exclusive events, this hotel is a hub for the A-list. You’ll have to be smart about your celeb hunting though, as the Martinez bar is closed for bookings and up to the security guards whether you’ll be let in.

Slightly further out is the Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc, which has previously welcomed Tom Hanks, Leonardo Di Caprio and the Kardashians. It is also the home of the annual amfAR Gala, which will return for another year next week.

If the celeb hotel haunts aren’t your speed, there is also the film festival itself. With the opening ceremony kicking things off tonight and Tom Cruise heading to the Mission Impossible premiere tomorrow evening, it wouldn’t go a miss sticking around the Palais – where the premieres take place.

And if the stars aren’t in their hotels or at the screenings, they are likely at an invite-only party. Luckily, we’ve got access to many of these too.

Head to hotspots such as the Carlton Cannes beach, Lucia Cannes and Copal Beach to try your luck at some parties across the week. While you may not make it inside, those A-Listers have to stumble out at some point…

Love Island winners, Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman, have split up, according to reports. The perky pair only became boyfriend and girlfriend last month, but have now decided to call it quits.They have reportedly ended things on good terms, with a source saying they just realised it “wasn’t going to work anymore”.

They said: “Casey and Gabby have both decided to part ways. They had a really good relationship and enjoyed each others time but the reality is that they are focusing on different things and they both have realised that. Neither of them have parted ways badly but they just knew it wasn’t going to work anymore.

“Both have confided in quite a few friends about this and so it’s not really a secret in their circles, but they’ve made the decision to part ways this week,” reports The Sun.

Gabby, 33, and Casey, 28, only became official in April when Gabby shared a clip of the couple on Instagram with the caption: “Boyfriend does my voiceover. Getting red carpet ready with @maybelline.”

However, Casey kept coy about the couple’s status, telling Today.com: “Like,I will ask Gabby to be my girlfriend at some point.

“But do you know what it is? It’s all this like noise of, ‘When are you going to ask? When are you going to ask?’ I feel like I don’t want to now just ask it because people are saying it. I want to just do it.”

Gabby added: “We don’t feel pressure from boyfriend and girlfriend to where we are now. I think it will happen just naturally.”

Fans thought the writing may be on the wall for the couple when Casey jokingly mocked pal Ronnie Vint for making things official with fellow Love Islander, Harriett Blackmore.

In February, Gabby and Casey shared snaps of their double date with previous Love Island All-Stars winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare.

In a video clip posted on his Instagram Stories, Casey addresses their fans as he has his arm around Gabby while travelling to their date in a taxi. He initially spread panic among fans of the couple, who were already worried they’d split up, by saying: “Hello, we are back together.” Casey immediately allayed fears by quickly adding: “We hadn’t split up.” Gabby added jokingly: “Don’t panic, don’t panic.”

The couple were crowned the winners of ITV Love Island All Stars, receiving a staggering £50,000 cash prize to split between them.

However, it looks like the prize money is the only thing they’re leaving the show with as they return to their single status.

The Mirror has contacted Gabby and Casey’s reps for comment.

The Gogglebox star seems to have a new dress every week, and her most recent one is the perfect buy for this mini-heatwave we’re having in the UK

Oh, how we’d love to have a peek into Scarlett Moffatt’s wardrobe. The Gogglebox star seems to debut a new frock every week, and her latest one is the ideal purchase for this mini-heatwave we’re experiencing in the UK.

Sharing a photo of herself donning the dress on her Instagram stories, Scarlett reveals that the exact item is Never Fully Dressed’s Palma Island Dress, available in sizes XS through to XXXL. At present, it’s in stock in all sizes, but given how stunning the star looks in it, we don’t anticipate it’ll stay that way for long.

There’s something distinctly Mamma Mia about the Palma Isla Dress – with its Grecian blues, artistic island print and a breezy, just-hopped-off-a-ferry vibe. Crafted from a lightweight 92% cotton fabric that flows beautifully, it’s a garment that makes hot days feel a tad cooler. The print subtly hints at sun-drenched getaways without being too overt, while the relaxed fit and flattering round neck keep things simple and wearable.

What truly distinguishes it is the smart tie waist, which you can tighten or leave loose depending on your preference. It’s like wearing an oversized T-shirt but in dress form– and although it’s a mini cut, it’s not so short that it exposes your bum, reports OK!. Pair it with strappy sandals and minimal jewellery for a laid-back holiday look for the weekend, or wear it to work teamed with a lightweight blazer and some kitten heels.

Scarlett Moffatt has been on a roll lately, giving us the inside scoop on some fabulous dresses. Just recently, the 34 year old revealed a stunning find from Next that sent shoppers into a frenzy to snap it up before it sold out. The beloved former Gogglebox star struck a pose in Next’s Pink/Purple Seersucker Bandeau Midi Summer Dress over the Easter weekend, jokingly saying she’s embracing picnic blanket chic.

“Feeling like a little lilac Easter picnic blanket,” she joked, sharing her lovely snaps. “Dress I bought from Next, bag was a gift from my auntie, and the shoes are Bottega (that fun fact I got when I filmed an advert in Istanbul”.

If you’re keen to get your hands on Scarlett’s exact dress, head over to Next’s online store where it’s available for £42 – but be quick, as it’s flying off the shelves. The lilac number is ideal for sunny days, and it also comes in a delightful butter yellow and a smart monochrome version. Pair this midi with some statement heels and a sleek clutch for a standout wedding guest outfit. Or, if you fancy something different, why not try Scarlett’s Never Fully Dressed Palma Island Dress for £79?

Estee Lauder’s skincare has been a favourite of celebs like Elizabeth Hurley and you can now snap up three full size items with a £150 discount thanks to this glow-boosting gift set

There’s nothing better than a celebrity endorsement when it comes to beauty buys, and Elizabeth Hurley has previously shared her love for Estee Lauder’s Advance Night Repair serum. The supermodel has previously revealed that she’s used the serum every night since the 1990s.

A single 50ml bottle of the Advanced Night Repair Serum will usually cost you £89 (although LookFantastic currently has it on sale for £71.50), meaning creating a whole routine from the skincare line would end up being pretty costly. However, thanks to the Lift + Firm + Glow Advanced Night Repair Skincare Gift Set, you can save yourself £150 on three main products from the range.

The Skincare Set includes three full size products – the serum, eye cream and moisturiser – and is worth £251. But when you snap it up as part of the Lift + Firm + Glow Advanced Night Repair Skincare Gift Set, you can get your hands on it for £100, saving you £150 and only costing you £10 more than buying the serum on its own.

In the set you’ll get the Full-Size 50ml Advanced Night Repair Serum, a 15ml Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme and the large 75ml pot of Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Creme, giving you an almost complete skincare routine. The set gives you everything you need to revitalise and boost your skin’s natural glow, as well as helping to hydrate your complexion and minimise the look of fine lines.

If you’re after a set that specifically targets the signs of ageing and don’t want to break the bank, LookFantastic also has the Estée Lauder Limited Edition Ladurée Revitalizing Supreme+ Skincare Set, which is worth £151, for £95. The four-piece gift set includes day and night creams, serums and an eye balm.

If it’s your makeup bag that needs a boost, this Charlotte Tilbury The Uptown Girl Look set is a great way to nab some of the brand’s best-loved beauty products for less. You’ll get an eyeshadow palette, eyeliner, mascara, blusher, lip liner, lip gloss and lipstick for £175, and because you’ve spent over £70, Sephora will throw in a free Hollywood Beauty Light Wand worth £30, too.

But if you want to get your hands on the Lift + Firm + Glow Advanced Night Repair Skincare Gift Set with £150 off, head over to the Estee Lauder website now.

Kim Kardashian has heartbreakingly admitted she thought she would be raped during the horror Paris robbery nine years ago. The mum-of-four, 44, is in the French capital, testifying, after she was held at gunpoint in 2016 during Paris Fashion Week by a gang of masked men dubbed the ‘Grandpa robbers’ by the French media due to their age.

Sobbing, the SKIMS star told a Paris court on Tuesday she thought she would be raped by the men, whose ages range from 38 to 78, saying: “I was certain that was the moment that he was going to rape me I absolutely did think I was going to die.”

Kim arrived at the Palais De Justice in Paris for the trial today where she will testify over the horrifying 2016 robbery that saw her being held at gunpoint by masked men dressed as police officers as millions of dollars worth of jewellery was stolen. A group of pensioners dubbed the ‘grandpa robbers’ by French media are on trial in Paris, charged with stealing the star’s jewellery during Paris Fashion Week in 2016.

The last time Kim saw the masked men that police say robbed her, she was bound at gunpoint and left locked in a marble bathroom while the gang stole jewellery, including Kim’s engagement ring from ex, Kanye West, worth millions of dollars.

Admitting she was surprised by the ages of the men, saying she thought they were younger, Kim told the court: “I thought they were younger. It was the way he carried me. I’m not saying that older people cannot carry, but I was just surprised when I saw the photos of them”.

A court was told on Monday, that the reality star was in a state of “serious terror” when the armed robbers burst into her hotel room nine years ago.

Hotel receptionist, Abderrahmane Ouatiki, 48, who was handcuffed and forced at gunpoint to lead two armed robbers to Kim’s hotel room, told the court: “She was terrified, in a state of hysteria.”

Ouatiki told the court Kim began screaming that she was a mother when the gunmen burst into her bedroom. He said: “She was in serious terror; it was unbearable to see a woman in that type of distress.”

The robbers took Ouatiki at gunpoint in the lift with them to Kim’s apartment, he told the court. As they approached her bedroom, Ouatiki said Kardashian called out “Hello? Hello?” thinking it might be her older sister Kourtney Kardashian returning from a nightclub.

He said the robbers burst into the room and roughly pushed Kim.

Ouatiki said The Kardashians star was shouting and hysterical. Concerned the lead robber was “very nervous, unstable, aggressive”, Ouatiki said he felt he had to “calm things down and contain it” so he shouted at Kim to “shut up!”.

He said the robbers were asking in French for money. Ouatiki, still with a gun held at his head, tried to translate. Kim said she had “a thousand” – either in dollars or euros. He said she gave the robbers the ring that was on a bedside table. She then nodded towards a Louis Vuitton jewellery box, the robbers allegedly opened it and tipped its valuable contents into two bags.

The ten suspects, who are aged between 35 and 78, are on trial on May 23. Some are accused of aiding in the organisation of the robbery. Eight of the accused deny any involvement in the terrifying robbery.

The suspects include Aomar Aït Khedache, 69, and the alleged ringleader, who has publicly admitted kidnapping and robbing Ms Kardashian. Another suspect who confessed is named Yunnis Abbas, 72, who wrote a book about the robbery called I Kidnapped Kim Kardashian.

The trial continues.

Katie Price has heartbreakingly admitted she tried to take her own life four years ago, revealing ‘I just didn’t want to be here anymore’ before being admitted to The Priory

Katie Price has bravely opened up about her heartbreaking suicide attempt four years ago after admitting: “I just didn’t want to be here anymore.” The former glamour model spoke candidly about the ‘lowest point in her life’ as a guest on Paul C. Brunson’s We Need to Talk podcast.

Katie, 46, who has five children, admitted she was “self-medicating on coke” to “numb things” before she made the devastating decision to take her own life. With tears in her eyes, she said: “I tried to commit suicide and then I woke up. My phone was down the toilet. I had a black eye, Just didn’t want to be here anymore.”

Admitting she would lie to her family about how she was really feeling, she said: “‘Kate are you alright?’ [her family would ask] and I’d be like ‘yeah yeah I’m fine, I’m fine’ and then I’m in bed depressed, didn’t want to get up, didn’t want to have a shower, not me.

“When really when I did get up to go to work, people would be like ‘are you alright?’ and it was like inside I wanted to cry and go ‘no, I’m not’ but I had to put on the face.”

After her suicide attempt, Katie was admitted to The Priory as a general patient where she stayed for five weeks, explaining: “I thought oh my god, I’ve got to do something, this isn’t me.”

Saying her experience in The Priory has made her more understanding of the seriousness of mental health, she explained: “That’s why I don’t judge anyone or when they talk about mental health, because I think it is an actual, real, serious thing.

“You have got to want to do it yourself, by taking accountability of the situation I was in and owning up to how I felt.”

Concluding that she was now “in control” of her life after being ‘dictated to’ and ‘controlled’, she admitted to ‘hurting’ her family, but was now “better”, saying: “You’ve got to take accountability to people you’ve hurt, you know, your family, yes, you’ve got to own it and realise by getting through it, what doors have opened. It’s like the sunshine.

“Look what opportunities you’ve got now. Why? Because your head’s better. I’m not being dictated. I control what I do. No one’s controlling me. I know where I’m at. I’ve just been in control and communicating.”

Thankfully, Katie is now at least free of her financial burdens after admitting the last six years of her life have been “hell”.

The OnlyFans star was declared bankrupt for the second time last year, owing a whopping £750,000, which forced her to downgrade her home and leave the Mucky Mansion.

However, Katie recently revealed that she has cleared her debts as she opened up about ‘learning her lesson’ on a recent episode of The Katie Price Show.

Speaking to her sister, Sophie, she declared, proudly: “I’m not bankrupt anymore! I’m out of it, I’m out of both of them.

“The last six years have been hell – mentally and personally – everything has been hell. I’ve worked so hard to communicate and get rid of what caused all the trouble and I’m out of it.

“It’s such a nice feeling not to be bankrupt anymore. I’m in control of everything now.”
