Jeffrey Archer and his wife Mary on their marriage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jeffrey Archer, one of the world's bestselling novelists, is still an incorrigible flirt. Enter our photographer with his pretty young assistant and Jeffrey is entranced. Before I know it, we're all in his penthouse bedroom, admiring both the spectacular London skyscape through vast floor-to-ceiling windows – and Jeffrey's magnificent, intricately carved 17th century four-poster bed. Above the bed, a huge Lichtenstein speech balloon Pop Art cartoon proclaims: 'Oh Jeff… I love you too. But...' Lo
Danny Cipriani crowdfunds for his wedding, while his ex-wife speaks up (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No one minds contributing to a sick child’s life-saving medical treatment, but how about a crowdfunder for a celebrity couple’s wedding? Marriage licence, venue, reception, meal, flowers, photography. Any offers? No, I didn’t think so.

Sarah Wilson dislikes the term ‘grooming gang’. She would prefer the men who stole her childhood to be known less euphemistically. ‘They were monsters: child rapists, paedophiles. To call them “groomers” softens their crimes,’ she says. For five years, from the age of 11, Sarah was enslaved to Muslim men who plied her with alcohol and Class A drugs until she was insensible, then raped her. The first assault took place in her primary school playground, where she was forced to perform oral sex on
FRANCES HARDY rememebers Bonnie Tyler as she dies aged 75 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bonnie Tyler’s distinctive singing voice – husky, rasping and dissolute – made her sound like a female Rod Stewart, a likeness she always said she was ‘flattered’ by. She forged a similar rock star persona, too, abandoning her early country-pop image, in a hugely successful collaboration with the record producer who also made Meat Loaf a global superstar. That partnership with Jim Steinman, known as the Lord of Excess, was an unlikely one: Bonnie, who never embraced the lifestyle to go with that
