“ SHE’S BEEN LYING LOW, BUT NOW SHE WANTS TO UP THE ANTE ” After lying low for the past few months as her feud with the royals rumbles on, Meghan Markle returned in style last week. Releasing a stunning new photograph of herself, Meghan, 42, revealed to fans that she had signed to podcast company Lemonada Media – a partnership she says will see the launch of a “dynamic new podcast” in the coming months, as well as a re-release of her Spotify podcast, Archetypes. IN DEMAND And now a source says Meghan’s latest Hollywood power moves are proof that she is determined to be successful, even if that means going it alone without husband Prince Harry. The insider says, “Meghan has made it clear she wants to be…

NEWS 'WHILE THEY HAVEN’T BEEN THE BEST OF PALS, THEY HAVE A LOT OF HISTORY' After it emerged that her husband, Red Bull Formula One boss Christian Horner, was facing allegations of “inappropriate and controlling behaviour” towards a female employee, Geri Horner has reportedly been “leaning on” fellow Spice Girl Victoria Beckham. Fashion designer Victoria has not been without her own marital woes, as husband David was alleged to have had an affair with his former PA Rebecca Loos in 2003, and the couple faced relentless speculation over the state of their marriage. And in light of the recent drama surrounding Christian – who married Geri in 2015 and vehemently denies any wrongdoing – insiders say that despite showing up for her exbandmate, Victoria is slightly miffed that the efforts…

She’s in the midst of a sell-out world tour, but that didn’t stop Taylor Swift from flying to Vegas to watch her NFL superstar boyfriend Travis Kelce’s team win the Superbowl last week. And the couple’s celebratory PDA – as well as Taylor’s cheering on from the crowd and downing drinks – almost outshone the game itself, with one fan commenting, “Travis didn’t even score a touch down during this game and yet he’s the one holding the trophy so the cameras can get a shot of his pop star girlfriend”. But sources tell Closer that the recent hype may be going to Taylor’s head. MEGA DEMANDS A source says, “Taylor really does have the world in the palm of her hand right now – but recently, friends have noticed…

When Danielle Gross scrolled TikTok one evening, the last thing she expected to find was the future love of her life. Danielle, 27, says that she’d always wanted to get married in an “unconventional way”, so when she saw a handsome man – Gunnar Michels – looking for a wife, she jumped at the chance to say “I do”. Gunnar had tons of applications from women hoping to be the chosen one, but waitress Danielle caught his eye. Two weeks later, on Valentine’s Day 2021, the couple got wed in a Las Vegas ceremony – and despite their unusual start, the pair are still blissfully happy. Danielle says, ‘We married as strangers, but it turns out we’re perfect together!” ADVENTUROUS Danielle always had an adventurous spirit. Aged 24, she converted…

She’s been open about her heartbreak since her shock split from long-term partner Ben Ofoedu in January 2021, with Vanessa Feltz admitting last year that she’d been left feeling “battered and bruised” after discovering he’d cheated. However, while Vanessa, who turns 62 this week, has attempted to move on from their 16-year romance with a stint on Celebs Go Dating in 2023 – during which she was left seriously unimpressed by her dates – Phats & Small singer Ben hit back at his ex yet again last week. Now dating actress Precious Muir, 34, Ben, 51, said, “I gave myself to someone for a quarter of my life and ultimately I got nothing from it… it's absolutely heartbreaking.”…

A SIMPLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT MEANS A LOT A lot of people struggle with knowing what to say and often try to fill a silence. Please don’t say, “I know what you’re going through” because no-one does. Everyone’s grief is different. A simple ‘how are you?’ is great. A SMALL ACTION GOES A LONG WAY The amount of meals that were dropped off at our house was incredible and meant the world, especially as Charlie had been the cook in our house! Instead of saying, “Call if you need anything”, say, “I’m going to the supermarket, what can I get you?” KEEP ASKING “HOW ARE YOU?” Two years after we lost Charlie, Rebekah was really sad. She said that people expected her to be okay because time had passed, but she wasn’t.…

INTERVIEWS Fans were left gutted when Joe Garratt was dumped from the Love Island All Stars villa just days after entering. And now Joe, 27, tells Closer what he really thinks of his co-stars. Georgia Steele has been the centre of negative attention, with viewers calling her out for her fickle flirting with Toby Aromolaran, Callum Jones and Tom Clare. Meanwhile Joshua Ritchie has remained a fan favourite. But Joe says in the villa, things are different. He reveals, “I’ve come out and seen a bunch of stick towards [Georgia] and I guess it’s just what people have seen on the TV screen. She is actually a nice girl! “Josh was the troublemaker. There was a queue when we went outside for a vape and people would push in or…

She’s been open about her fluctuating weight over the years, but at 44, Kelly Brook admits she’s never felt more comfortable in her own skin. “Every year my body’s changing, my hormones are fluctuating and I’m getting older, but I’m really happy and confident,” she tells Closer. “I don’t want to be the same size as when I was 20, because the skinniest I’ve been has sometimes been my most miserable. I’m a size 12 and around my boobs I’m more of a size 14. I still fit into my clothes and I’m feeling good.” ENERGISED & HEALTHY Kelly, who is married to Italian judoinstructor Jeremy Parisi, readily admits that, like many of us, healthy eating fell by the wayside during the colder months. She says, “The winter is always…

Presenter, Amanda Lamb, 51, who is mum to Willow, 15, and Lottie, 10, with husband Sean, has tech boundaries in her home. She says, “I’m a stickler for no screens at night. Everyone has to bring their devices up to my room at 10pm, and then they’re all allowed them again in the morning. It’s a constant battle, but the curfew is there to make sure they’re not up all night and taking in too much blue light. Any parents of teenagers will know exactly what I’m talking about. They will always find a way to bypass the rules and, I’m not sergeant major, but I try to enforce a rule that from Sunday to Thursday, they hand their devices over at 10pm and on Friday and Saturdays they can…

TV PRESENTER MELISSA PORTER, 51, ON HOW SHE LOOK AFTER HER BODY AND MIND… I STAY FIT WITH REFORMER PILATES… I love to stretch and feel mindful during my movement. I can check in with my body throughout, and make sure I’m performing the exercises to the best of my ability. CLEAN EATING IS IMPORTANT… I try to avoid dairy and wheat as they make me feel sluggish. I also try to stay clear of sugar as much as possible. I like finding healthier alternatives – for example, my favourite treat at the moment is a sweet potato brownie. SELF-CARE FOR ME IS HAVING BOUNDARIES… We shouldn’t ever feel guilty for putting our needs first. I try to be really discerning about the people I choose to have around me.…

As bookies predicted Tom and Molly would win Love Island: All Stars, Nicki waded in with this withering verdict on how long they’d last when they left the villa. Don’t hold back, Nic! Never a truer word spoken, Rita – in our case it was a grumbly appendix but whatever works for you… GRUMPY GRAM Grim news for Nicole – just weeks after landing her new job as CEO at one of the UK’s biggest water companies, the £1m bonus is now OFF. Looks like another Pussycat Dolls tour is on the cards.…

NEWS “ SHE REALLY HOPES SHE CAN SHOW PEOPLE HOW TALENTED SHE IS ” Kerry Katona celebrated her impressive 4st weight loss last week as she jetted to Spain - posing poolside in a skimpy white bikini as she cosied up to fiancé Ryan Mahoney, who couldn’t keep his hands off of her new size 8 curves. And while it’s clear both Ryan and Kerry are relishing the results of her makeover, a source tells Closer that Kerry’s new look has also given her the confidence to make a huge career move into acting. Last week Kerry, 43 – who has become a millionaire through her OnlyFans page – revealed that she is set to star in new romantic comedy movie, Finding Forever. An insider tells us, “She’s over the…

Grace Roy was just 14 when her anorexia took hold – and pandemic restrictions allowed her to hide her disorder. Wanting to lose weight, Grace, now 18, started to make changes, telling her friends and family that she was on a health kick. But when she didn’t see results quick enough, she began over-exercising and purging her food. Grace, from Goosnargh, Lancashire, says, “That’s when my health really started being on the line. At school I’d skip going to the canteen, throw my packed lunch away or say I’d already eaten. Then the pandemic hit, which allowed me to hide my disorder even more. I was able to exercise easily as online workouts were encouraged. Before I knew it, anorexia had taken hold.” INCREASE Unfortunately, Grace is far from alone.…

Love dramas They seemed like they were going from strength to strength after Georges exclusively telling Closer that they wanted to have babies together, but last week MAFS UK star Peggy Rose revealed they had parted ways three months after the show concluded. Peggy, 32, announced the split to her followers on Instagram last week, writing, “Me and Georges are no longer together and I’m absolutely heartbroken. “It’s affected my mental health and it’s taken me weeks to come to terms with it. But with it being Valentine’s Day, I can’t pretend to be okay.” Minutes later, Georges, 30, shared his own statement, posting, “Wasn’t expecting a statement from Peggy regarding this situation. I’m heartbroken by our breakup and also trying to come to terms with life without Peggy.” Peggy…

Eight years after they first began their romance, it’s been revealed that Billie Piper and long-term partner, rocker Johnny Lloyd, have split. A source, who revealed the couple had quietly broken up last year, said, “It’s obviously very sad that they have gone their separate ways.” Billie, 41, and Johnny, 38, are now co-parenting their five-year-old daughter Tallulah. The actress – who is set to star in Netflix’s drama Scoop this spring – also shares sons Winston, 15, and Eugene, 12, with ex-husband Laurence Fox who she divorced in 2016. Before that, she married DJ Chris Evans, but split three years later and divorced in 2007. She previously said of love, “Part of me doesn’t ever just want to see it as this rational thing where I’m making sure I…

When Kate Garraway returned to work on Good Morning Britain, a week after her husband Derek Draper’s funeral, during a conversation with actor Larry Lamb and Marie Curie bereavement counsellor Claire Collins, the presenter admitted she has been feeling ‘very numb’ since the loss of Derek and is only at the first stages of grief as a result of what Covid did to her family. She said, “I’m very aware of the sensation of grief, although also very aware that actually I’m only at the first stages and there’s so many different stages of it all… “We are not equipped for loss. No one is equipped for it. Nobody wants to be able to face it, but we are all going to come against it at some point in our…

She rose to fame as the bubbly and beautiful Welsh pro dancer on Strictly – but more recently, Amy Dowden has made headlines after a heartbreaking cancer diagnosis and has been lauded by fans for her strength and resilience as she battles through it. Amy, 33, has had a roller-coaster two years – just 10 months after the high of tying the knot with her long-term partner, Ben Jones, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was forced to pull out of the 2023 Strictly series and in the past year she’s endured a mastectomy, chemotherapy, losing her hair, a sepsis battle and in November she broke her foot – the week before she was set to make a special comeback performance on Strictly. But despite her devastating health issues,…

Despite winning the tenth series of Love Island last year with his partner Jess Harding, less than two months after leaving the villa Sammy Root was single. Now Sammy, 22, tells Closer what he’s learned about how couples can make things work outside the villa. “A couple that looks really strong in the villa may break up on the outside and then someone who doesn't may stay together forever,” he explains. “The villa is such a different environment. It's a whole different world. “When you're in there, you're literally in your own little bubble. And then you come outside and you've got thousands of voices in your ear… You go from not worrying about anything to so much going on. It's a bit of a shock.” Despite being single and…

As Rhian is off meat, she should enjoy other iron-rich foods like eggs, beans, lentils and fortified cereals. Having them with vitamin C-rich citrus fruits and berries will help to absorb this iron.” CLOSER ONLINE…

RELATIONSHIPS YES, YOU CAN HAVE MALE FRIENDS! When it comes to being friends with the opposite sex, Anna says honesty is always key Absolutely heterosexual men and women can be friends, however these friendships depend on boundaries, respect, transparency and being tuned in emotionally. I’ve always had platonic close friendships with males and now I have a 50/50 split between male and female close friends. We’re all in committed relationships and are very respectful of each other’s partners. We make it clear it’s a pure friendship, nothing else. We also include our partners in the friendship dynamic, reassuring them that whatever society says, we don’t want to jump into bed with each other! Be aware of how your partner feels. Maybe they’ve had a bad friendship in the past and…

She’s been thriving ever since her return to TV last month – and insiders say Holly Willoughby is determined to keep her star rising and reestablish herself as the golden girl of TV – but this time, focusing on more solo projects. A source tells Closer, “Holly’s feeling amazing at the moment – returning to TV was a decision that she spent ages agonising over, but it’s been great and she wants to take on even more now that she’s finally got her confidence back. CHALLENGES “She’ll probably carry on doing Dancing On Ice in the future, but the talks she’s having with ITV are about new solo work and shows she can do on her own.” The past 16 months have seen Holly – who shares children Harry, 14,…

“There’s a common misconception that you have to be underweight to have an eating disorder,” says Umairah. “In fact, most people won’t be underweight. Eating Disorders aren’t just about body image either. Look out for changes in eating behaviour: strict dieting practices, fasting behaviours, avoiding or hiding food. “Is your child taking a long time to eat meals or going to the bathroom immediately after a meal? They might regularly claim that they’ve already eaten or say, ‘I might eat later’. They might often say that they’ve eaten more than they actually have. “On the other side of that spectrum, if someone’s bingeing, it might be that food is going missing. “There might be physical signs like weight loss, tiredness or stomach pains. Are they overexercising or using laxatives? Do…

She endured a rough time back in November after her split from property developer Jimmy Barba. But insiders say that Denise van Outen is now back on the dating scene. A source says, “After being single for a few months and healing after her split from Jimmy, Denise is now ready to dip her toe back into the dating pool. “She’d never join a dating site or any of that stuff. But she’s asked some of her pals, including Duncan James, to play matchmaker and help her. She’s had a tough few years of heartache but she’s definitely ready to try again.” Denise – who shares daughter Betsy, 13, with ex-husband Lee Mead – split from Jimmy after 18 months together, with an insider claiming that the relationship had “run…

In a shock U-turn last week, Lauren Goodger was revealed to have dropped her support for alleged assault charges against her ex-boyfriend Charles Drury – leading to the builder being found “not guilty” after Lauren withdrew her evidence. Charles had first been charged with assault by beating and controlling and coercive behaviour in August 2022, when police were called to the Essex home he previously shared with Lauren on the day of their baby daughter Lorena’s funeral. Lauren, 37, has since bravely moved on with her life and is set to return to The Only Way Is Essex later this month. Meanwhile, Charles began dating Lauren’s pal following their split, but was dumped just three months later. It’s said that the pair have a co-parenting relationship but nothing more.…

Emma Charlesworth, 42, a marketing manager, lives with daughter, Rebekah, 14, in Kent. Her husband, Charlie, was just 45 when he died in April 2020 from Covid 19. Emma says, “Hearing that Derek Draper died was really difficult. I felt so sad for Kate and her children. I know how hard it can be. “Charlie and I got together on my 18th birthday and married in 2005. We went on to have our daughter, Rebekah. He was my best friend as well as my husband. He was the singer in two local bands and was the life and soul of every party. “But in March 2020, our happy life was shattered when Charlie caught Covid. We’d heard about the virus on the news, and now we were dealing with it…

When Jessica Smith was set up on a date by one of her friends, she thought she’d found her perfect match. At first, Dillan Billany seemed genuine, kind and caring. However, it wasn’t long before the 27-year-old revealed his true colours – and subjected Jessica to a torrent of physical and emotional abuse, shockingly sending an explicit video of Jessica to her mum. Wanting justice for what she’d been through, she reported him and he was charged and taken to court, where he was sentenced to three years and was given a five-year restraining order. Jessica, 31, says, “I thought Dillan would end up killing me. But I’m a survivor and I won’t let him steal my future.” INSEPARABLE When Jessica, from Hull, first met Dillan, a groundworker, in February…

DIGITAL DETOX SPECIAL This Morning’s soap expert, Sharon Marshall, 52 – who shares five-year-old Betsey with husband Bruce – avoids screens in the hours leading up to bedtime. She says, “I don’t believe in banning screens altogether, but we’ve cut down on our usage at home. When Betsey gets in from school, she’s allowed 10 minutes of TV, with an extra five minutes if she’s been particularly good. Then we have at least an hour where we’ll sit around the table to draw, get the paints or blackboard out, read or chat, and it’s just wonderful quality time together. “Betsey grabs the phone out of my hand, the iPad and the TV are turned off and everyone has to do a digital detox. Within a week of doing this it…

“We love using Heck chicken burgers here, because they have the most surface area for marinating and can be cut into kebab-like strips.” HECK'S CHICKEN BURGER GYROS STEP 1 To make the marinade, combine all the ingredients in a shallow bowl. Stir and season well with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken burgers in the bowl, spooning the marinade in between each one so they all get evenly coated. Cover and leave to marinate for 30 mins. STEP 2 Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7. Line a roasting tray with baking paper. STEP 3 Cook the French fries on a large baking tray according to the pack instructions. Put the marinated burgers on the prepared roasting tray. Drizzle over the olive oil and roast for 12-15 mins, flipping halfway…

One in two of us will get cancer, and nobody is exempt from that, so the King’s diagnosis sadly didn’t come as a shock. It has been caught early, which is probably the single most important thing for successful treatment – get it as soon as possible. And there are various signs and symptoms you should never ignore. LOOK OUT FOR LUMPS Always get swelling, lumps or bumps anywhere in the body – including your mouth and your genitals – checked out, but particularly breasts in women and testicles in men. You don’t need to be an expert, you only need to notice something that wasn’t there the last time you checked. Get to know what your boobs feel and look like generally, so you notice a change. Look not…

Little, if anything, surprises me when it comes to dating, I’m sad to say. I feel I’ve pretty much seen and experienced it all – as most singles do! So it was no shock to read last week that the latest research from planet single shows that only half of dating app users have had a positive experience. Well duh! I’d say it’s a mixed bag with apps, but I’ve never dated someone who I met on them for more than a few months. In contrast, a two-year relationship and my most recent nine-month one both began with meeting in real life. What’s more, stats from the US, which we’re never far behind when it comes to any trend, show that just one in 10 heterosexual adults in committed relationships…

One in three consumers has fallen victim to an online scam, and over half say it’s getting harder to spot the signs. Here are tips from Visa to stay safe: ● CHECK WHO THEY ARE It can be hard to tell the difference between a legitimate organisation and sophisticated scammers. If you are unsure, check by using a different form of communication to the one they have used to reach you. For example, if you get a text asking for bank information, try phoning the company directly to check if it’s a true request. ● QUESTION SURPRISE CONTACT Cold calls or unexpected emails should raise your suspicions. Remember, it is highly unusual for legitimate organisations to ask for sensitive information or personal details with no prior warning, so don’t respond…

THE SKIRT Take inspiration from Demi and get yourself a skirt that will elevate any outfit. For a transitional look that’ll work day and night, break up black tones and style your skirt with a neutral blazer and punchy boots. The blazer smartens the look while white boots give a fashionforward alternative to classic black. THE TROUSERS They might seem like a risk, but leather trousers, especially in a tone such as cream, will earn you serious style points. Ideal for pairing with a blouse and biker for a chic day look, or a chunky jumper when temperatures drop, they can easily be reworked through both winter and summer for maximum cost-per-wear. THE DRESS A leather dress is a versatile staple that will see you through season after season. This…
