He celebrated his 30th birthday surrounded by his nearest and dearest, with brother William and Kate Middleton throwing a special private party for the occasion. But fast-forward a decade and things couldn't be more different for Prince Harry. In what should be a happy time as he gets set to turn 40 this week, his family – including William and Kate – will be noticeably missing. Instead, they are now estranged and live thousands of miles away from Harry, who is based in California with wife Meghan Markle and their two children. Closer previously reported how Kate, 42, who was once extremely close to Harry, has been trying to act as peacemaker between the brothers, urging William, also 42, to extend an olive branch. BETRAYAL And now Paul Burrell –…

One of Tim Owen's last memories of his daughter, 19-year-old Emily, was having a fun film night with the family during lockdown in 2020. Emily had stocked up on sweets and chocolate for them all. Tim says, ‘Emily seemed buoyant, happy even. But two days later, she attempted to take her own life. We rushed her to hospital but, after five days, we made the agonising decision to turn off her life support. Our beautiful, talented girl was gone, and the world felt so much darker without her. ‘Now, I'm determined to break down the stigma surrounding suicide.’ STRUGGLING Suicide is now the leading cause of death for young people aged between 15 and 34 in the UK. A new report from suicide prevention charity, Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM),…

She was left devastated in February 2020 by the sudden death of her close friend Caroline Flack, who took her own life at the age of 40. Over four years on from the tragic loss, writer and presenter Dawn O'Porter opens up to Closer about her grief and the regret that weighs heavily on her. ‘A couple of nights before Caroline died, I was going to send her a video of me singing this song to cheer her up,’ she explains. ‘But I never sent it and I really regret it. It wouldn't have stopped anything but I still wish she'd seen it. I think it would have made her smile.’ A JOYFUL PERSON Dawn, 45, became friends with Caroline in 2010 after spending the week together in Australia filming…

‘Cajun seasoning is a blend of spices from America's Deep South and, when combined with a creamy chicken pasta, makes a lovely meal.

Look, Cardi, sorry if you don't like it but here in the UK, we're proud that some of our pubs provide nappy changing facilities. And the smell is no worse than that produced by all those old guys at the bar drinking real ale… And the winner of Closer's TAKING THE ABSOLUTE P**S AWARD is…. J.Lo, for her ridiculous summing up of the past few months of constant, never-ending rain. GRUMPY GRAM Furious Nicole paid a small fortune for what was advertised as ‘the world's best thermal spa where you'll be united with nature’. The reality? Chafe the skin off your bum on rock-hard lumps of lava rock. OUCH!…

She opened up about the terrifying moment she feared armed robbers had kidnapped her children during a raid while they slept in their holiday villa in Marbella last month. And now insiders say Jacqueline Jossa has been left completely shaken and is struggling after the horrific incident, and that she and husband Dan Osborne have been trying to lean on each other to move forward. Jac, 31 – who was with former TOWIE star Dan, 33, their two daughters, Ella, nine, and Mia, five, and her 10-yearold stepson, Teddy – woke up to see two men in balaclavas going through her belongings before fleeing with £20k of cash and jewellery, including her engagement ring and even Mia's pocket money from the tooth fairy. And sources now say that the ordeal…

They're incredibly close as siblings and last month Stacey Solomon revealed that her elder sister Jemma had purchased her dream home. The telly star, 34, shared that she helped her big sis move into her ‘forever home’ and even helped her with cleaning duties. Now, insiders tell Closer that Stacey – who hosts home DIY shows like Sort Your Life Out and Renovation Rescue – is keen to help Jemma out further and they may even present their own show. ‘Jemma and Stacey make such a great team and have been approached about doing their own TV show,’ our source says. ‘Jemma is keen to do more TV after appearances on This Morning and has even stood in for Dilly Carter on Sort Your Life Out, so she's getting more…

Approaching 40, Estelle Keeber was feeling low. A single mum to two boys, she'd recently split from her fiancé and lost her beloved nan. In need of something to pick herself up, Estelle organised a trip with her bestie to visit a nudist beach and celebrate her birthday in the buff. She'd been intrigued by the concept for years, curious to know how it felt to expose herself without filters or clothes, and with her wobbly bits and scars on show. But little did she know how much the experience would change her life – as by stripping off her clothes, Estelle has gained so much more. Estelle, 42, from Leicestershire, says, ‘Going nude gave me a huge boost of confidence and improved my mental health. This body has taken…

INTERVIEW Janette Manrara has been a huge presence on Strictly Come Dancing since her debut in 2013. The CubanAmerican dancer, 40, has partnered EastEnders’ Jake Wood, Peter Andre and Dr Ranj Singh during her eightyear run as a professional on the iconic BBC dance show.

Celebs Go Dating viewers were on the edge of their seats last week as Lauryn Goodman finally opened up about her highly-publicised affair with footballer Kyle Walker. Lauryn, 33, broke down on the agency couch as she tearfully explained to the experts that she constantly feels like she's in ‘survival mode’, adding, ‘It's like torture’. When pressed for details, she recounted her shock when she discovered that Kyle's wife Annie, 32, was going to have her fourth child, Rezon, now six months.

Kyle already shared three sons with Annie – Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign,…

POWER STRIPES Waistcoat suits have been trending for a while now, and Halle shows they have no sign of fading. If you want a style that will work into the coming seasons, a dark pinstripe style is a smart choice. Wear alone or layer with a simple T-shirt. GET SUITED Rather than a satin midi skirt or pleated design, why not try a tailored fit for the new season. This beige style works perfectly with a stripe vest or T-shirt to tap into the nautical trend. Finish with white accessories for a fresh feel. COOL AND COLLECTED DRESSED UP Want to smarten up a slip dress for your next night out? A blazer will achieve this and also add an extra layer in case things turn chilly. Match your jacket…

Closer WHAT'S BEST TEST BEST FOR FINE HAIR MD London Strait Hair Straightener Celebrity hairdresser Michael Douglas’ straighteners are packed with features, heating up to 230°C, which is hotter than most models, and they are very light to hold. Our tester, who has fine hair, liked the LED controls for the heat. Setting the temperature at 180°C, they straightened quickly and, although the longer irons mean you can style a lot of hair at once, we found working on smaller sections achieves better results. A huge benefit of these is the wrap-around heat pad, which you can use to store your straighteners without having to let them cool. The ridges on the end of the irons are also useful as you have better control when you swipe the straighteners down…

DO A MAINTENANCE COAT Before you put away your outdoor furniture for the winter, Craig recommends a quick spruce up. ‘Give it a dust off, a gentle little sand and then apply a maintenance coat,’ he says. ‘You're maintaining what you've done and protecting it throughout the winter. Then, when you come to next spring, you won't have to scrape off any loose paint, because it will have stayed intact. You'll give your furniture a longer lifespan.’ When it comes to fence panels, Craig recommends regular maintenance too. ‘The more you maintain your fence, the longer it'll last,’ he says. ‘It's a false economy to leave it three or four years, until the paint's flaking off. Our homes are the biggest investments we'll make in our lives, and if you…

Martin Lewis, Taylor Swift and Adele are just a few celebrities who have been used to trick people into mistakenly handing over cash in online scams. We asked Sarah Lenette, financial crime specialist at Starling Bank, and Amelia Murray from Be Clever With Your Cash, for expert advice on how to recognise a celebrity con. NEVER BELIEVE A MARTIN LEWIS AD Martin Lewis is a trusted voice, so scammers are exploiting that. ‘Any financial product advertised by Martin Lewis will always be a scam, as he's said publicly he never endorses them,’ says Amelia. ‘Fraudsters also fake newspaper articles that look like real interviews with celebrities promoting financial schemes. Make sure you check the web address to see if it's legitimate. To verify if a celebrity is genuinely promoting something,…

Victoria Beckham is set to open up like never before in her upcoming Netflix show, which will offer fans an inside look into her fashion and beauty empire and promises to get ‘up close and personal’ with the former Spice Girl. FRIENDSHIPS But while she delved into her marriage with husband David, 49, in his documentary, Beckham, back in October, insiders say that Victoria, 50, wants to make hers different. Instead, she plans to spill all on some of her biggest A-list feuds, leaving those close to her feeling worried. ‘Vic wants to do her Netflix documentary differently to how David did his. Instead of talking about the obvious juicy stories around her and David, she'd rather delve into some of the difficult moments she's faced in her life and…

Becci Tye, 52, lost her daughter, Amelia, to suicide. She says, ‘One of my favourite videos of my daughter, Amelia, is of her running through a snowy field in January 2021. It really sums her up – sentimental and funny. But I watch the video with sadness too as, heartbreakingly, Amelia isn't with us anymore. ‘My husband Mark and I were so proud of how bright and positive she was. But after she turned 16, we noticed a change. She became quite anxious and low at times and would spend a lot of time in her room listening to music. “My brain never gives me a break”, she said to me. “It's always so busy”. ‘In 2021, Amelia went to university, but she felt incredibly overwhelmed and, after three weeks,…

Louise Redknapp was spotted looking more in love than ever this week with boyfriend Drew Michael, as the two soaked up the sun on a Greek island – with pals revealing there could soon be wedding bells for the pair. PROTECTIVE And Louise's sons, Charley, 19, and Beau, 15, who she shares with ex-husband Jamie, 51, have reportedly given their blessing and approve of their mum's man. A source says, ‘After splitting from Jamie and getting used to being on her own, Louise honestly thought she might be single forever – so meeting him has been one of the best things that has happened to her. She feels so comfortable with him, and all her friends and family approve, especially the boys. Both Charley and Beau are thrilled that their…

PETE WICKS ‘This is the show I said I wouldn't do’ What made you sign up for Strictly? It's so far out of my comfort zone, but it's a once in a lifetime thing. It's going to be the biggest challenge. This is always the show I said I wouldn't do, and that's part of the reason I'm doing it. How would you rate your dance skills? A solid zero. I've got absolutely no previous experience. Not even dancing at weddings? I'm at the bar! I'm starting from ground zero with this. But that's the most exciting part, because it's a blank canvas. It could be a masterpiece – but I imagine it won't be. What are you nervous about? Mine's a weird one – the stairs. After you've done…

When Maddison Goodwin fell pregnant last year, she was thrilled as she'd always dreamed about becoming a mum. As the model and influencer's body began to change, she grew unhappy with her drooping breasts, though she knew it was all worth it. But tragically, Maddison's daughter, Valentina, was stillborn in January this year, and over the following months her postpartum body served as a tragic reminder of the loss. Desperate to move on, she opted to go under the knife in Turkey, but her decision led to even more devastation. Maddison says, ‘I was left with a botched boob job – it looked like a shark had bitten my breast. I wish I'd never gone abroad to have surgery.’ HEARTBROKEN Maddison, 19, who lives in Southend-on-Sea with her mum, Dawn,…

When Stephanie Basnett's boyfriend, Riagáin Grainger, announced that he was planning to follow her to university and do the same course, alarm bells started to ring. The couple had been dating for a year since meeting in sixth form college in 2016, but Stephanie had never thought they were serious. ERRATIC After moving to university in Manchester, his behaviour became controlling and he started following her when she was out with friends and sending her dozens of texts each day. Stephanie says, ‘I was nervous and his behaviour was getting erratic. I didn't know what he would do next. But when I tried to end it, he threatened to kill himself.’ Then, one night, things came to a head when she suspected him of spiking her drink and following her…

ESPRESSO EYES We love this winged eyeshadow look. Place a small piece of tape on the outer corner of the eye as a guide, angling it up toward the tail of your brow, and use your chosen shade to blend up to the tape's edge for a flawless finish. WOW BROWS For a natural glam vibe like Khloé's, it's all about soft, feathered arches. Get the look by stroking a gel across your brows in an upward motion to define and add volume. BRONZED GODDESS It wouldn't be Kardashian glam without a bit of contour. Buff a cream bronzer under the cheekbones, on the sides of the nose, temples and along your jawline for a snatched look. FAUX FLUTTER Take your look to the next level with falsies. Apply a…

SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH PETS IS SO IMPORTANT… The number one priority for me is to get outside daily with my dogs. It's like my meditation. We just get outside and appreciate the fresh air and nature, even if it's just for half an hour a day. It improves my mood and it's also great for my health as it gets my heart rate up. I LIMIT MY ALCOHOL INTAKE… I drank so much in my twenties but nowadays I stick to one or two glasses of wine a week. I mostly have red wine as well as it's said to be better for you. HOT FLOW YOGA IS A GREAT WAY TO UNWIND… I try to do a class once a week. I've done it for about three years…

How much do you spend? I usually spend around £80-£85 a week on groceries. I prefer shopping online as it's convenient. Describe your daily diet… For breakfast, I typically have peanut butter on toast with banana, or sometimes Greek yogurt with raspberries and blueberries. Lunch is quick and easy, usually vegetable or chicken soup or sushi. Dinner is centred around a protein like chicken or salmon, with plenty of vegetables and either rice or sweet potato. And if I'm in the mood for dessert, I treat myself to ice cream. What do you refuse to eat? I'll try almost anything, no matter how unusual or off-putting it seems. However, the one exception is black olives. It's funny because I love green olives. Strangest thing you've eaten? Years ago, I tried…

HEALTH Thirteen-year-old Hannah Jacobs died after being given a drink with cow's milk instead of soya, when she'd been severely allergic to dairy products since she was a toddler. That's awful, but I don't want people to panic, as it's rare. It's also a reminder of how dangerous food allergies are – they kill and they kill quickly. NUTS ON A PLANE Love Islander Jack Fowler also recently revealed that he almost died after being served a curry which contained nuts, even though he'd made his flight attendant aware of his nut allergy. He described his throat closing up and his breathing became extremely difficult. That's exactly what normally happens; swelling around the throat, which is why you struggle to breathe. You might get huge swellings all over your body,…

Recently, comedian Katherine Ryan shared on her Instagram stories how she'd been a victim of a scam. Here's how to avoid the same happening to you… WHAT'S THE SCAM Illegal phone mirroring helps criminals to gather information about you and steal your money or your identity. WHAT HAPPENS Hackers can get into your mobile phone and mirror it onto theirs using spyware or malware. WHEN YOU'RE AT RISK Hackers can get in when you're connected to a public hotspot, intercepting communication between two devices. KNOW THE SIGNS A hacker may be operating your mobile phone if something randomly pop-ups or you seem to be using more data, or if you're hearing odd noises on calls. WHAT TO DO Turn off your hotspot and bluetooth, run an antivirus scan for malicious…
