AS we celebrate a decade, we look back at some of our fave Fabulous covers.
From Paris Fury to Michelle Keegan, we’ve had some of the biggest names in show business grace our covers.
Paris Fury – October 10, 2021

Boxing legend Tyson’s wife invited us into their palatial home for her cover shoot.
A mother of six, Paris juggled feeding her nine-week-old baby Athena in between getting her glam on, and thrilled the team by showing us her husband’s world champion boxing belts.
Myleene Klass – April 21, 2019

This is one of our fave Myleene shots – and there have been many! We’ve been with her through her highs and lows, and could not be more chuffed to see her get her happy ending.
Emma Willis – June 28, 2020

Emma wore her own clothes and did her own glam and looked absolutely stunningCredit: Fabulous Magazine
Shot in lockdown with Emma wearing her own clothes and doing her own glam, it was the first time we’d done a shoot since the pandemic started, and she made it brilliant!
The Kardashians – May 12, 2013

Kim was pregnant with North and not as at ease in front of the camera as usualCredit: Kayt Jones
This was shot in LA and what an experience! Kim, Kourtney and Khloé each came with their own team to make sure the lighting and cameras were 100% ready before they stepped on set.
The girls were great, though Kim was pregnant with North and not as at ease in front of the camera as usual.
Caroline Flack – June 2, 2019

Caroline danced to an ‘80s playlist between shotsCredit: Mark Hayman
This cover was Caroline’s last for us, before her death eight months later. We shot it on Camber Sands beach as she danced to an ‘80s playlist between shots. We miss her.
Alex Scott – March 7, 2021

Alex Scott fronted our International Women’s Day issueCredit: Mark Hayman
For our International Women’s Day Issue, there was no one better to front it. It was Alex’s second time on the cover and she was more confident, which came as no surprise seeing as her career had gone stratospheric.
Katie Price – April 27, 2014

Katie Price dished the dirt on her exes during her cover shootCredit: Mark Hayman
We will never tire of shooting KP. For this one we were summoned to Pricey HQ in Brighton, where she tucked into a Big Mac as she dished the dirt on her exes.
She doesn’t stay on set a second longer than she needs to, telling the photographer when he’s got the shot. And you know what? She’s always right.
Debbie Harry – June 2, 2013

Debbie loved the white loafers our stylist had brought along so much that she asked very politely if she could keep themCredit: Ruven Afanador
We’re still pinching ourselves about this one. The Fabulous team flew out to New York to shoot Blondie’s Debbie, who drove herself to our studio, arriving without any entourage.
She loved the white loafers our stylist had brought along so much that she asked very politely if she could keep them. The brand of the shoes? New Look!
Take That – March 19, 2017

Gary showed off his impressive physique by stripping off to change shirts in front of everyoneCredit: Mark Hayman
Despite being down to a trio, Gary, Howard and Mark more than made up for the missing members.
While Mark dished out hugs to the Fabulous team, Gary showed off his impressive physique by stripping off to change shirts in front of everyone.
Michelle Keegan – December 18, 2016
25
Michelle was a total proCredit: Mark Hayman
We ordered a tonne of earth and two wolves to feature in our woodland scene at the studio. Michelle was a total pro and even though she’s one of the country’s biggest stars, was a joy to work with.
One Direction – August 18, 2013
25
Despite the fact we were in the middle of nowhere, fans tracked us downCredit: Mark Hayman
We travelled to Houston, Texas, to shoot the boys while they were in the middle of their US tour. They were a little more jaded than when we’d shot them the year before, but still charming.
Despite the fact we were in the middle of nowhere, fans tracked us down, and when we went to see the boys perform that night, we saw just how crazy 1D mania was across the pond.
P!nk – September 9, 2012
25
P!nk was funny, friendly and so damn coolCredit: Fabulous Magazine
P!nk was a dream during this summertime shoot in LA.
Funny, friendly and so damn cool, halfway through she took a break to breastfeed then-14-month-old Willow, who her nanny had brought along during lunch. What a woman!
Chloe Madeley – August 2, 2015
25
Chloe is a Fabulous fave because she’s always up for trying something a bit daringCredit: Mark Hayman
This jaw-dropping cover took a long time to perfect, but it was so worth all the blood, sweat and tears – and copious amounts of body oil!
Chloe is a Fabulous fave because she’s always up for trying something a bit daring for the cover and is never anything other than frank and ballsy in interviews.
Patsy Palmer – August 25, 2019
25
Patsy was super-zen to work withCredit: Mark Hayman
Patsy shot with us to mark her brief return to EastEnders. She loved the styling and was super-zen to work with.
Ant and Dec – February 19, 2017
25
The pair ended up soaked with water but were unfazed as everCredit: Mark Hayman
Ant and Dec are always a pleasure to shoot, and this time they ended up soaked with water, but were as unfazed as ever. They are just as approachable and down-to-earth as they are on screen.
In the past, we’ve had them jumping off rooftops and pranking one another. What a duo.
Emily Atack – February 10, 2019

Credit: Mark Hayman
This was Emily’s first cover after I’m A Celeb! and she was everything we hoped she’d be. Hilarious and honest, she told us why she was spending Valentine’s Day happily single.
Nicole Scherzinger – November 17, 2013
25
Nicole took our breath away during this shoot – and the dogs were beautifully behaved tooCredit: Derrick Santini
They say never work with animals, but the dogs were beautifully behaved for this shoot with Scherzy. When she emerged from the styling room into the studio, she took our breath away.
Jorgie Porter – February 26, 2012

Jorgie was on Dancing On Ice, but there was nothing frosty about herCredit: Fabulous Magazine
The pint-sized star smouldered on our first ever cover as part of The Sun On Sunday. Jorgie was on Dancing On Ice, but there was nothing frosty about her – hot stuff!
Ed Sheeran – June 15, 2014
25
Mr Sheeran was one of the easiest celebs we’ve ever shotCredit: David Titlow
Er, how hot does Ed look? Despite his superstar status, Mr Sheeran was one of the easiest celebs we’ve ever shot. He turned up on time, no messing about, job done. We love.
Little Mix – June 28, 2015
25
The girls were on great form for this shootCredit: Mark Hayman
The fab Jade, Perrie, Jesy and Leigh-Anne were on great form for this shoot – they loved the Mad Max concept and threw themselves into it.
Funnily enough, this wasn’t shot in the middle of the desert, but on an abandoned site near the Thames that Jay-Z once used as a helipad. We could only shoot in one direction to make sure that London wasn’t visible. Clever, right?
Tamara Ecclestone – August 30, 2015
25
There was no better way of sticking two fingers up to her critics than this coverCredit: Lancton
Tamara had taken flak from trolls for posting breastfeeding pictures on her Instagram, so there was no better way of sticking two fingers up to her critics than this cover.
Holly Willoughby – April 10, 2016
25
We went for a Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot for HollyCredit: Mark Hayman
Holly does Hollywood glamour! Our Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot was made for the TV favourite, who pulled it off with her usual aplomb. That red lip, though… Scorching!
Mel B – December 14, 2014
25
Mel B’s unpredictability keeps everyone on their toesCredit: Mark Hayman
Shooting Scary Spice should come with a health warning, but her unpredictability keeps everyone on their toes. She arrived 45 minutes late with a terrible cold and demands of room-temperature water.
Amanda Holden – April 3, 2016
25
If we could shoot Amanda every week, we would!Credit: Mark Hayman
Amanda is a complete one-off and god, we love her for it. This was shot on the top floor at Fabulous HQ and she brought the place to a standstill.
She’s huge fun, with the filthiest of laughs, and if we could shoot her every week, we would!
Alison Hammond – October 3, 2021

Alison charmed the team on this disco diva shootCredit: Mark Hayman
With big hair and an even bigger personality, Alison charmed the team on this disco diva shoot – her first cover since landing the coveted spot presenting This Morning. Between takes, Alison kept us entertained with her dance moves and belted out her idol Beyoncé’s hits.
