What a joy Coronation Street’s Sally Dynevor was on our June issue cover shoot. She’s brought the sunshine to our cover, too. And what brilliant photos. Pick up a copy of Prima today and see just how chic and stylish Sally looks. It’s a great interview too where she chats about her family, her wellness routine and what it’s like to have been on such an iconic soap for 40 years. Thanks to @davidvenni for photography, @natreadstylist for styling, @sallyrowemua for makeup, @lyndsayadkinshair , @aliciabethlansom for the interview and Prima’s @jolockwood1314 and @pye_andrew . Of course, the biggest thanks to @sallydynevor who was just fabulous. @primamag #june #coronationstreet #itv

Big thanks to the wonderful @alexkingstonofficial for being Prima’s April cover star. She made it such a fun shoot, not only by looking fabulous in the outfits stylist @alexandriastylist picked but was also such fun, bringing a lovely energy and a very positive, can-do attitude to every photo. Thank you, too, to @jessieefromtheblock for makeup and @awinterburn1 for hair and, of course, big thanks to @davidvenni for the wonderful photos. Do check out our great interview by @aliciabethlansom in the @primamag April issue on sale now, where Alex chats about her new ITV thriller Secret Service. Special thanks, too, to Prima’s @pye_andrew and @jolockwood1314 . #alexkingston #april #prima #itv

It was so wonderful to meet the acting legend Brenda Bethan for our March issue of Prima. She has such style and looked so lovely in our shots. She told us all about her new role in A Woman of Substance which is coming to Channel 4 in March and is sure to be just brilliant. Thanks to @b_blethyn1950 , the fabulous @nickyjohnston for our @primamag cover and inside photos, @natreadstylist for finding Brenda such wonderful outfits and @malincolemanmakeup for hair and makeup. Thanks to @primamag ’s @jolockwood1314 and @pye_andrew and to @larakilner for the interview. #channel4 #march #prima #brendablethyn #spring

Here is the fabulous @marsh_kym on our February cover. It’s hard to believe she’s just welcomed the arrival of her fourth grandchild and she’s only turning 50 this year! But then as she told @primamag about being a grandmother: ‘I’m young enough to do all the fun stuff… and then hand them back.’ Thanks Kym for making such a great cover star to begin the year. Thanks to the wonderful @nickyjohnston for the photos, @harriet_wheeler for@styling and @sallyrowemua for hair and@makeup . Also, thanks to Prima Art Director @pye_andrew , Picture Editor @jolockwood1314 and @nicolevassell for the great interview. #february #singlewhitefemale #kymmarsh #prima

Love this gorgeous photo of @kategarraway on our December issue of @primamag . I won’t do a @ukthetraitors spoiler but in our interview (thanks @christobelhastings ), Kate chats about what being on the show meant to her and how it helped her. She was so lovely at our shoot and gave us so much of her precious time. She looked amazing, too. Thank you Kate and big thanks to @davidvenni for the brilliant photos, @natreadstylist for those fab outfits and @malincolemanmakeup for getting hair and makeup so right. And, of course, thanks to Prima’s @pye_andrew and @jolockwood1314 . I know it’s early for Christmas but I promise this issue will get you in the mood! #december #celebritytraitors #christmas #goodmorningbritain

A very big thank you to Natalie Cassidy for being such a super-glam Prima November cover star. She not only looked fabulous in all the outfits - big thanks to @kate_barbour for styling - but was so lovely, too. We had a great day and it was wonderful chatting together over lunch after the fabulous @nickyjohnston had got all those great shots. @natcass1 thank you for all the fun. Thanks, too, to @marcosgmakeu and the @primamag team - @pye_andrew , @christobelhastings and @jolockwood1314 . #prima #eastenders #november

I can’t wait for the new Downton Abbey film and who better to tell us about it than the brilliant Mrs Hughes aka Phyllis Logan. She’s Prima’s October cover star and as well as chatting about the film, she shares her memories of the late Dame Maggie Smith. Thanks to @davidvenni for the fab photos, @natreadstylist for super styling and @jolandamakeup for hair and makeup. Grab a copy of the new issue and enjoy! @primamag @downtonabbey_official @jolockwood1314 @pye_andrew @christobelhastings

Thrilled to have the fabulous @gilliantaylforth as our August cover star. And yes, she really does look that gorgeous in real life! She kindly shared some of her top beauty and wellness tips and believe me, I’ll be giving them a go. You can, of course, read all about them in the issue. Big thanks to Gillian for her time and for making the shoot so fun and to @nickyjohnston who took such amazing photos. Also thanks to @natreadstylist for styling and @malincolemanmakeup for hair and make up.
