They're the couple who rarely seem to stay in one place for very long.

And while Dubai remains a firm favourite for Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan, she has now revealed that they've identified a sun-soaked destination a little closer to home.

Writing her online blog for Hello magazine, the actress said that she's so in love with the island of Mallorca in Spain, that she's lost count of how many times she's been there. 

"I love Mallorca and try to go whenever I can," she explained.

"I can’t actually count how many times I have visited, I think it must be around 20 or so times."

The 28-year-old went on to say: "It’s a beautiful island with so much to offer, and is such a short flight that you can just go for a night but feel as though you have had a proper little break."

She and her reality TV husband were there last week – with Michelle explaining that Mark had work lined up.

During their mini-break, they also took a break from the norm, opting to explore the sites and sounds of Palma rather than top-up their tans.

"Normally when we go away we relax and sunbathe but this time we decided to have a day out in the beautiful city of Palma and soak in all the Spanish culture!" she explained.

In the accompanying snaps, Michelle donned a white Lispy playsuit from her own collection with the label.

When you combine one of the country's most-loved stores with one of the internet's biggest stars – you're pretty much guaranteed that the outcome will be pretty spectacular. 

Yes, Penneys has now announced that it is teaming up with YouTube sensation Gabriella, aka @velvetgh0st, for its latest collection – and understandably the result is hugely exciting.

Hitting stores on August 18 (let the countdown begin!), we will DEFINITELY be first in the queue as everything looks amazing.

Explaining what inspired her range, Londoner Gabriella said simply that she loves cats.

The YouTuber added that she has done several really successful Penneys homeware hauls on her channel – which were subsequently so popular with her viewers that the store approached with the offer of a collaboration. 

Admitting that she's hugely excited by the line's release, she stated: "I love Primark, so going in and seeing my face will be a bit surreal to be honest.

"But, yeah it’s amazing."

The items on offer include pastel-coloured bed covers, adorable cat-themed cushions, cups and eye masks. 

Also hitting stores is the rose gold fairy lights which Gabriella said are "one of my favourite products". "I think they're gorgeous," she added, further explaining: "I can just imagine making a little den with loads of cushions, hanging them up; they'd look so nice and sparkly! 

"And the little glass mug too, with the little cat face on it, I really like that."

Oh no, this is literally the stuff of beauty treatment nightmares! 

Polly Smith, a 19-year-old dancer from Buckinghamshire in the U.K, went to a local beauty salon in the pursuit of beautiful brows, but what she ended up with was anything but. 

She had a massive allergic reaction to the treatment, which included the threading technique and a dye used to tint her eyebrows.

The day after getting the procedure done, Polly's eyes were so badly swollen she could hardly open them due to a severe allergy to the dye used on her face.

According to Polly, she completed the patch test for the eyebrow dye before under going the treatment and nothing unusual had shown up. 

To her horror, she was left with a layer of scabs surrounding her extremely swollen eyes and eyebrows which resulted in her going to hospital three days later. 

But that's not all, Polly said her eyebrows are beginning to fall out and doctors told her she could be scarred for life.

Parents to three young children, they've been together for six years – not to mention engaged since 2012.

And today – finally! – 33-year-old model Jacqui Ainsley married film director Guy Ritchie, 46, in a lavish ceremony attended by the crème de la crème of showbiz.

There to witness their Big Day are the likes of Brad Pitt and ­Angelina Jolie as well as George and Amal Clooney, who themselves married less than a year ago.

Sting and wife Trudie Styler arrived this afternoon, as did Jemima Khan, Gwyneth Paltrow and David Beckham – all three of whom appear to be attendance without a plus-one. 

Producer Matthew Vaughn, who worked with Guy on Snatch and Lock, Stock, and his wife Claudia Schiffer also witnessed the happy couple tie the knot earlier today.

Celebrations are currently kicking off, with chef Jamie Oliver doing the food with the reception – which is being held at Ashcombe House, the couple's sprawling country estate in Wiltshire in south west England.

The wedding seems to have a music festival feel to it, with teepees and tents set up around the grounds. 

A source told The Mirror earlier this week: “The guest list is jaw-dropping. It’s like the Oscars. If even half of them come, it will be the party of the year.

“There are marquees being set up in the gardens and food by Jamie’s chefs. It’s going to be amazing.

“Guy is well connected and liked, so it’s no surprise there are so many people invited to his wedding.”

Guy's eight-year marriage to Madonna famously ended in 2008. He and Jacqui have three children – Rafael, three, Rivka, two, and Levi, one, while Guy also has two sons, Rocco and David, from his first marriage.

Chrissy Tiegan is quickly becoming the most loved model on the planet, mainly because she shares our absolute obsession with food. 

But how does she still have such a gorgeous figure while eating the loads of food she posts on her Instagram? She works out 5 to 6 times a week.

In an exclusive interview with Women's Health magazine, Chrissy filled us in on the secret to eating lots while maintaining the body you want and it turns out it's all about the exercise for her:  I want to drink champagne and have hearty dinners, so I would rather work out for an hour and be able to do what I want.”

John Legend's other half trains with the A-list celebrity personal trainer Simone De La Rue and it's obviously working as she bares all for the August cover of Women's Health. 

Chrissy is well known for promoting a positive body image to her fans and she got a seriously positive response when after posting a picture of her legs featuring a few faint stretch marks with the caption "strechies say hi."

Just like so many of us, the 29-year-old model has to keep an eye on the amount of carbs she consumes on a daily basis "My family is not naturally thin and we put on weight quickly. I find low-carb works for me. Even when I eat healthy grains like quinoa I keep them to a minimum."

We can totally relate to her difficulty when it comes to get those perfect abs so many celebrities seem to be sporting. She said her tummy is her problem area "I’ve never seen an ab – ever – no matter how many crunches I do.”

She not to happy with her bum either..  “I would love to have a little fat on my sides so I can be sexy, curvy. I’d love a big butt. But I just can’t get there."

Chrissy is currently writing a cook book, along side her mother, which is due to hit the shelves next year. In the mean time, her Instagram will continue to be filled with delicious looking dinners including John Legend's legendary fried chicken, hot and stretchy garlic bread and sweet chilli salmon to name but a few!

A beach cleaner has stumbled upon wreckage which may be part of MH370 – Malaysian Airlines’ missing aircraft.

The Boeing 777 plane vanished from the sky 16 months ago and despite an international search, no trace of it has been found since.

However, it seems that Johnny Begue – in discovering a 1.8metre long wing flap on the shore on the French island of Réunion – has made gone some way in solving the greatest aviation mystery of modern times.

The wreckage was half covered in sand and has barnacles stuck around its edges, and Mr Begue also came across battered luggage nearby his initial find.

Mr Begue manages a team of eight people charged with cleaning up the coastline around the town of Saint-Andre in the east of Indian Ocean territory. 

Réunion itself is located east of Madagascar, some 175km southwest of Mauritius – and also some 5,600km away from the doomed jet's last-known location.

Yesterday morning, Mr Begue spotted the wreckage and with the help of his colleagues he was able to pull it away from the shore so it didn’t get swept out to sea again.

Meanwhile, Malaysian officials have now said they are “almost certain” the wing flap came from a Boeing 777 and aviation investigators are currently heading to the island to verify the findings.

It is expected that they will know whether the wreckage came from MH370 within days.

Locals will furthermore be questioned over the weekend in case they have picked up items – now potentially vital clues – on the beach over the last few months.

Aerial and sea support is likely to come from France, Australia, Malaysia and China, as authorities scramble to collect more debris. 

Malaysia Airlines flight 370 vanished on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

A comprehensive report earlier this year into the plane's disappearance revealed that the battery of the locator beacon for the plane's flight data recorder had expired more than a year before the jet vanished.

This is quite possibly the cutest marketing campaign in existence. A communications company Clinic 212 have created this project to remind residents in the area of Vilnius that they are sharing the road with several smaller friends. 

The project #tinyroadsigns, is exactly what the hashtag suggest, a series of tiny signs for even tinier animals to people in cars or on foot to watch out for where they are most likely to be. 

The creators of the project say it was designed to "show that we are not the only ones living in the city.” 

 Cats and pigeons also get their own tiny road signs..

 To alert people in the area to watch out for them..

But the cutest of all, has to be this adorable 'hedgehog' crossing sign which is accompanied by an even more adorable tiny hedgehog.

As we are constantly bombarded with the latest 'super food' or 'detox diet' on our various newsfeeds, it's easy to forget about some of the basic ingredients that can make a huge difference in our diet. 

Ginger may not look like the most appealing or be the most tasty food in the world, but it's worth adding it to your diet if you want flawless skin. 

This root has benefits for your body both inside and out and our favourite one of all is the fact that it is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that give you glowing skin. 

Ginger is also a great remedy for hair that is prone to breaking as it heals damaged hair and help if you want to grow your hair long. 

The best way to treat your hair with it is to massage a mixture of oil and grated ginger to the roots of the hair and leave it in for as long as possible. 

But besides the beauty benefits, it's also good for a multitude of other reasons:

It helps speed up your metabolism

It can help ease nausea and vomiting

It you are suffering from trouble with your sinuses, ginger can help ease the symptoms

We’ve all heard the stories of old-school friends who just don’t seem to get you anymore. It’s not that uncommon. Actually, it’s about as common as the daily panic many young women have trying to decide what is acceptable and what is not in their new workplace.

Growing up and becoming a fully-fledged adult is difficult. To try and ease the way for you just a touch, we put together a list of things that all twentysomething women really do not need to be worrying about.

Trying to live by a ‘5-year plan’

You really don’t need to have started a family, self-started a company and become president by the time you’re 27. Relax, no other time will you be able marathon New Girl all weekend guilt free.

Anything that has to do with sending texts

Was I too mean? Is that even funny? WHY HAS HE NOT TEXTED BACK? Wait, did I even text him back that time? Just stop. You have better more fun things to be doing.

Not having a party to go to every single Friday/Saturday

There ain’t no party like a pyjama party with take-away and a hair mask. Come on, you know that appeals to you more than you admit.

Trying to immediately have a 'young professional who is still on fleek' wardrobe

Unless you somehow managed to avoid a little thing called ‘rent’ and ‘entry-level’ salary, and no one does let’s be honest here, then you can calm down. Trust us, it takes a while to build up a stylish working wardrobe and no one is critiquing you.

Being alone forever

Would you rather waste the glory of your youth crying about a less than stellar significant other or would you rather be having the time of your life with new more fun guys and your squad?  

Spending way too much money on travelling

The trip to Oz may cost a fortune but it will probably be one of the most memorable experiences of your life, go for it before your career takes over and you lose all of that ‘me time’. 

Being 'skinny'

Are you happy? Excellent, that is the most important thing. Eat the pizza and stop caring what other people think.

When a couple appeared recently on the famed Jeremy Kyle show, they brought along their two young children and left them supervised on set as filming took place.

However, staff then became seriously worried – because the toddlers appeared to be distressed, malnourished and unclean.

The couple, a man and a woman who can’t be named for legal reasons, are aged 23 and 26 and featured on the show earlier this year.

The Coventry Telegraph reports that the babies are the biological children of the woman.

After the family departed, concerned studio workers contacted police, with officers and social welfare representatives calling around to the parents the following day.

There, the couple were arrested on suspicion of child neglect.

A court this week heard that although both adults are noticeably overweight, the children – both of whom are under two years – were close-to starving.

Staff on the Jeremy Kyle show furthermore explained that one child had a bruised face and both seemed “unresponsive, emotionally vacant, dirty and unkempt”.

When authorities visited the house they said the property was cold, dirty clothes were strewn around and there were faeces stains on the carpets.

Upon seeing the police, their mother, who was 34 weeks’ pregnant at the time, immediately disappeared upstairs and was found changing the nappy of the older child.

His legs and feet were caked in faeces and she was trying to clean him using baby wipes.

The youngsters have since made significant progress and have put on a significant amount of weight. They are currently living with adoptive parents.

The judge presiding over the case this week praised the “conscientious” Jeremy Kyle show staff.

Addressing the defendants the judge also said: “Your home was visited and was found to be, quite frankly, disgusting.

“The two children were not properly clothed, you had let them get too cold, you hadn’t fed them properly and you hadn’t washed them.”

He also warned: “Should you have any more children the first people in your home will be Coventry social services.”

At Coventry Crown Court on Tuesday both defendants were each jailed for 12 months, suspended for two years, and given 18 months’ supervision.

Oh summer, we hardly knew you and now you’re going and leaving us again. This weekend will be the last bank holiday of summer 2015 and we were very excited about it.

However, Met Eireann have essentially destroyed any tiny glimmers of hope we may have had for one final impromptu at home beer garden. We’re very sorry to tell you this, but it just doesn’t seem to be happening.

Honestly, we’re trying to look on the bright side but it’s difficult with all that mist getting in our eyes.

You might want to have a look at this break down before you get out the camping gear.

Friday

Finally! Can you not just taste the freedom? You might consider indoor activities before you go all out and get the wash, colour, cut and blow-dry treatment on your lunch break:

“Staying cloudy in the east with patchy rain and drizzle, most of which will occur later in the day.”

Moving swiftly on then.

Saturday

“Showers for Ulster and west Connacht, some of which may turn heavy. A couple of showers may make their way across the midlands and into the Greater Dublin Region later in the afternoon.”

Sounds pretty decent, just make sure to keep your umbrella in easy reach.

Sunday

Oh but wait Just as we got our hopes up, along comes the Sunday forecast to annihilate the summer vibes.

“A dull, wet day with widespread rain, persistent and heavy at times. Rather windy too, especially later. Highest temperatures of just 13 to 16 degrees, coolest over Ulster. Southeast winds will gradually increase fresh to strong and gusty.”

Ah yes, because “rather windy” and “strong and gusty” are exactly the conditions we want when we’re on the beach. Look, you can try and make it as scenic or romantic and whimsical as you want, but rain on the west coast is not exactly rom-com wonderful.

It’s a bit less this:

And more like this:

Monday

Just to really run it in for us on our day off. 

“Damp to begin with patchy outbreaks of rain… Showers will move into the south of Munster at times though, with rain arriving into west and southwest counties towards evening.”

Oh come on!

When Lena Dunham took to Instagram a couple of months back to tell the world she had realised exercise was a better cure for her anxiety issues than medication ever could be, we knew there were changes afoot for the actress/writer.

Now the Girls star has revealed that she's loving her fitness routine even more, after a friend encouraged her to go to a running training session. Posting a paparazzi photo of herself running through the streets of New York to Instagram last night, Lena wrote, "Not usually one to post a paparazzi shot but this fills me with pride. Basically my whole life I have hated running and run like a wounded baby Pterodactyl."

The actress said her fear of running was "embarrassing" and joked that she didn't trust herself to "escape a burning building or even move briskly towards a buffet." However when Girls' executive producer Jenni Konner suggested that Lena's character Hannah Horvath develop a love of running on the show, the real life Lena had to follow suit.

"@jennikonner is directing the season finale of Girls and decided that as Hannah evolved so would her run, so she got me a training session with Matt Wilpers from Mile High Run Club. Within an hour I had a different relationship to this formerly torturous activity. I felt strong, swift and proud," the actress wrote.

"I'm not about to embrace that triathlon life but it's a true joy to continue getting more connected to my body and its powers." 

Although she still maintains her curvy frame, Lena is looking fitter and more toned than ever, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the papped running shot. After all, how many of us can say we'd look that put-together in a candid shot of us running down the street in our workout gear?

As well as jogging, Lena is also an advocate of celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, and often works out at her New York studio, saying Tracy's workouts have shown her "the light."
