Celeb in 5: Sunday's best entertainment and gossip news.

1. The real reason Meghan Markle’s “right hand woman” is leaving Kensington Palace.

Amy Pickerill is familiar to many as the woman who is constantly by Meghan Markle’s side.

Her job is to handle Duchess of Sussex’s schedule and deal with her correspondence. She also accompanies the Duchess when she makes public appearances.

She’s the one who ends up holding the bouquets of flowers thrust at Markle by adoring fans, along with any handmade cards and presents.

Following rumours that began circulating last year, we finally know why Pickerill decided to step down as private secretary.

According to the Daily Mail, Pickerill is “moving abroad but has agreed to stay on to help following the birth of her baby”.

Royals in today’s #DailyMail – The Duchess of Sussex says her baby will be brought up a feminist regardless of gender and Amy Pickerill, her right-hand woman is to leave. It’s very amicable.

It is understood that Amy told Meghan some time ago. Meghan would have loved to have her stay, but understood.
Amy joined the household in 2016 but moved into the private office with a specific view to helping her move over to the UK from Canada.

3. Excuse us, but James Mathison is returning to our TV screens and we’re very excited.

Kids today will never know the joy of sitting in front of the telly to watch Australian Idol.

One of the best things about Idol was the hosts, Andrew G - now known as Osher Gunsberg - and James Mathison.

An iconic pair, they were.

After Idol was canned in 2009, Mathison disappeared from our TV screens, instead going into politics.

Unfortunately, his short-lived political career didn't turn out so great (Mathison failed to contest Tony Abbott's seat of Warringah in 2016), but never fear, because he's back and we're very excited.

Mathison, 41, has been announced as a co-host on Foxtel’s new TV show Thrones 360, which will recap every episode of the final season of Game of Thrones, which premieres on Monday, March 18.

You can watch Thrones 360 starting from Monday, March 18 at 7:30pm on Fox8, and 9.30pm on Fox Showcase. Get keen!

4. Oh. MAFS Dino is releasing a tell-all book about his journey into spirituality.

Oh.

It looks like Married At First Sight's Dino Hira is releasing a memoir.

The book, which was finalised last year, will reportedly become available to fans in the coming months.

Although the book will touch on Dino's time on the reality show, it's believed the memoir will predominately focus on his journey into spirituality.

"There's far more to Dino than people see on the show and he can't wait to get this out," a friend of the reality star told Daily Mail.

"His life has been anything but ordinary and he hopes to inspire people with his story."

We wonder if Dino secretly recording his 'wife' Mel's phone calls will get a mention in the book...

We can only hope.
