GMB's Ranvir Singh styles a new hair look with Nobody's Child 'dress of summer'
The Good Morning Britain presenter is trying out a new look...
Since appearing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020, Ranvir Singh has won herself legions of fans who are keen to find out more about her outfits and looks. Thankfully, Ranvir is happy to oblige and regularly posts the details of her go-to brands to her Instagram page after her Good Morning Britain morning hosting slots.
For her most recent look, Ranvir took to her socials to credit her look to Nobody's Child– and it happens to be one of the brand's best-selling dress styles that she's sporting. Wearing the Short Sleeve Starlight Midi Dress in the dark green colourway, the presenter looks incredibly youthful in the waist-cinching number – something her fans instantly noticed.
"Love this dress, it suits you soo much. You look fab," pens one, while a second asks: "Love it! Is it heavy or lightweight for summer though?"
It's a good question, and the answer is that this summer-ready update of the classic Starlight dress is perfect for both warm days and cooler evenings. Made from a lightweight, breathable fabric, it's designed to keep you cool and comfortable when temperatures rise. Soft gathering, gently puffed sleeves, and a neat row of covered buttons add some pretty detailing, while the panelled waist gives a very flattering fit. The A-line skirt skims the body without clinging, and with practical pockets and easy styling potential, it's a piece that takes very little styling skill to make look good.
You can pick up Ranvir's dress for £89 in the dark green colourway. However, if you prefer brighter or neutral tones, there are 22 other shades and prints you can pick this dress up in to suit your taste. Our head of fashion Zoe owns the gingham colourway and wears it in every occasion she can! However, if you're looking for a look-for-less, you can also shop & Other Stories' Puff-Sleeve Midi Dress in Green, on sale for £49.
While a lot of the focus is on Ranvir's enviable figure in the Nobody's Child piece, plenty of other commenters have also spotted something different about the star: her hair. It seems she's switching up her usual straight or blow-dried lengths for a youthful tousled, mermaid-like wave, which suits her to a tee.
Celeb pal Katie Piper muses in the comments: "Love the hair."
Another follower writes: "Loved your hair this morning - you look beautiful," with a third saying a similar: "Your hair looks so good!"
If you're keen to recreate Ranvir's hairstyle, ghd just launched a brand new tool to make it very easy. The ghd Wave Triple Barrel Waver, £159, creates effortlessly tousled styles with a silky finish. Powered by the brand's advanced styling tech, the tool encourages enhanced shine, defence from flyaways and crease-free mermaid waves. We wouldn't be surprised if this was the tool used on the star's hair!

I'm a former night owl who now loves waking up at 5am
I wake up most days at 5.30am. I throw on some clothes as silently as I can, being careful not to disturb my partner. I fill our cat Arthur's food bowl, then gaze out of the kitchen window into the garden as the kettle boils for tea, watching robins and great tits get their breakfast at our bird feeders. Next, it's puzzle time with ITV's Good Morning Britain starting in the background. I begin with Wordle, then the New York Times' Spelling Bee, Strands, Connections and Letter Boxed, then Worldle, Metro's Word Wheel and The Times' Polygon and Concise Crossword. Puzzles (hopefully) completed, I go for a walk, maybe taking in a beautiful local park, perhaps admiring some wonderful architecture and street art I see every day, but never tire of, while playing another game: Trying to identify breeds of dogs on their dawn walks. I love the peace, quiet and sense of space I can only enjoy early in the morning. After almost nine years of living with a talkative partner, when we both also work from home, this solo routine has become precious 'me time'. Back home, half an hour later, I crack on with admin, emails or start work early. I've ticked all this off by 8am. I never used to be like this. If you'd told me a year ago this would be my daily routine, I'd have laughed in your face. In fact, I built my career on being a night owl. I became a music journalist in the mid-90s at the height of Britpop. My job dictated I carouse around London into the early hours at gig afterparties, as that's where I got my scoops. Being up late came naturally, and I relished stalking the nightlife underbellies of Soho or Camden Town, landing stories. In the 2000s, I began working in radio music news. I once went straight to an early shift at BBC 6 Music, having stayed out all night with much-missed Motorhead frontman Lemmy at a burlesque club. I immediately went on air to read my bulletin – and my exclusive story. I worked on Fleet Street showbiz news into the 2010s, and late-night parties were fertile hunting grounds for celebrity gossip. Even recently, being a night owl was very much part of my identity. A couple of years ago, I posted a picture on Instagram at 9am after I'd been to the doctor's and it prompted one of my oldest friends to ask if I'd been diagnosed with something horrible. Otherwise, why would I accept an appointment that early? Fast forward to now: I am writing this at 6:30am, having been up since 5am. So what changed? Last November, a disc in my spine prolapsed and trapped a nerve, causing horrific pain. The kind of agony that makes you pass out or throw up. Some nights, I couldn't sleep at all and retreated to the sofa so as not to wake my partner. If I dropped off, I'd often wake in the early hours in misery as the painkillers wore off and I couldn't get back to sleep. I've had chronic back problems for years, but this was a different level. Ultrasound steroid spinal injections coupled with physio and exercise, however, have helped hugely, and the pain is back to a manageable level. But I'm still waking up about three hours earlier than I used to. Previously, I'd get up at 8:30am for my 30-step commute from my bedroom to the living room, before starting work at 9am. On weekends, I was never up before 10am. Lack of sleep aside (I still go to bed at the same time around midnight), I do enjoy my new morning routine and love feeling like I've stolen a march on my day. I don't regret not waking up earlier for years though – I need as much beauty sleep as I can get – and my late-night film-loving partner remains unconvinced about dawn rising. Apparently, people fall into two 'chronotypes' – early birds or night owls – which dictate our circadian rhythms. Research has found we're genetically programmed to either favour going to bed at a reasonable time, then waking with the lark to seize the day, or prefer staying up into the early hours and dragging ourselves reluctantly from our pit in time for brunch. I was always in the latter camp. But along with discovering I was 89% Irish, 7% Scottish and only 4% English (I'm adopted, so this was new information), a DNA test surprisingly revealed that I was destined to be a morning person all along. And I've discovered there are measurable upsides to my newfound identity as a lark. More Trending The mental and physical health benefits of my morning walk are obvious, as I feel great afterwards. Solving puzzles is also believed to sharpen logic and have the same calming effect as meditation, something I've never been able to do. Plus, I'm getting more work done. So I've finally come to terms with the fact that I am now an early riser and am not hating it half as much as I thought I would.

BBC Wimbledon star Annabel Croft's big life change, dating update and lasting regret
BBC Wimbledon star Annabel Croft's big life change, dating update and lasting regret The former player turned presenter and pundit is set to be a regular fixture on our screens in the coming weeks Annabel Croft (Image: Getty Images ) BBC presenter Annabel Croft will once again be on our screens over the next fortnight as Wimbledon fever prepares to take over the nation. The much-loved tennis pundit is part of the BBC's coverage for the tournament this year, part of a star-studded lineup which kicks off in earnest on Monday. A former player herself, Croft has carved out a stellar career for herself behind he microphone and in front of the camera, while she shot into the wider public conscience during her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2023. Her Strictly journey came just months after a tragic life event which rocked her to her core. Her husband of 30 years, Mel, died aged 60 just 16 weeks after his diagnosis. Two years after Mel's tragic passing, she is ready to undertake a major change and move house. She had three children with Mel, a former America's Cup yachtsman, Amber, now 31, Charlie, 29, and Lily, 27, but believes now is the time to downsize. 'The house has been my life for 25 years. Everything about it is Mel, because he built it. We've had amazing memories here that are impossible to forget, but I'm ready to go,' she told The Sun. 'What gives me pleasure is going for a morning walk in the park, running with my friends, having a coffee, a meal out and being with my family. Article continues below "I've realised I don't need much any more. I don't want overheads, maintenance, a garden to look after and pay for – anything that is excess to what I need.' She previously told Hello! magazine that she "doesn't even consider" going back into dating. "It's not something I'm thinking about at all. I'm not in that headspace – it's way too soon," she told the publication. That's why she appeared to be exasperated when rumours swirled of a new romance after being spotted with a man at lunch back in April. 'He's my bank manager and a great friend who was also close to Mel,' she told The Sun clearing up any sort of rumour. 'We were looking at photographs of Mel together. Mel adored him and he's been really helpful to me.' Croft, who will turn 59 during the tournament, now says she is looking forward to becoming a grandmother, with daughter Amber due to give birth in September. It will mean a new chapter in her life, one which has seen many colourful chapters already closed. One in particular, which is pertinent, too, with Wimbledon fortnight upon us, is her tennis playing career. The former British No.1 was a junior Wimbled and Australian Open champion, however she walked away from the sport at the tender age of 21. Explaining her decision, she said she simply "fell out of love" with the sport. She added: "I didn't want to live that circus lifestyle any more. I shudder now, thinking: 'How did I do that with such conviction but without any idea of what I was going to do?' "I didn't have an education or a plan. I was young and naive, and hadn't actually thought beyond that moment.' And there is regret over that decision. When asked if she regretted not keeping with the sport in an attempt to turn her Wimbledon title into a senior crown, she replied: 'Of course, I would have loved to have won the main trophy, but I made a decision that I didn't want to chase that dream any more. "I regret that I didn't understand what I was doing at the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it?' Her professional career away from the sport, however, has been a success story. Article continues below After five years performing in pantomime – an experience that helped boost her confidence – Croft made a successful move into television, landing a role on Channel 4's adventure show Network Seven before stepping into Anneka Rice's shoes as the new host of Treasure Hunt in 1989. She eventually returned to her tennis roots, carving out a new career as a presenter and pundit. She began with Eurosport before going on to work with Sky Sports and the BBC, becoming a familiar face in tennis coverage.

Arlene Phillips: ‘My biggest disappointment? Being let go from Strictly'
Born in Lancashire, Arlene Phillips, 82, created the dance group Hot Gossip in the 1970s. She went on to become a world-renowned choreographer, and was a judge on Strictly Come Dancing from 2004-8.

What is the worst thing anyone has said to you? In school, I was 11, and we had to paint a picture of family life. My painting was held up to the class and I was told it looked like a spider with ink on its feet had walked across the page. It was done so viciously – humiliating. What is the worst job you've done? In a Dagenham factory at 6am, picking soldiers' greatcoats from wars around the world to sell at the market in Chelsea. I smelled like mothballs, and no one would come near me.
