Most people are first impressed with someone's looks, their physical prowess, their ability to dance. I fell for Michael Gove's modesty, the fact that his physical bumbling was in such contrast to his razor-sharp brain and his wit: there is no funnier person in the room.

The Kardashian clan, who like it or not have dominated celebrity news for two decades, are no strangers to the surgeon’s knife. Arguably, they’ve done more to normalise plastic surgery than anyone in the history of humankind: Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie, aka the sisters who launched a thousand lip/face/butt lifts. But now even they’ve been upstaged – by their own mother, Kris Jenner.
