They looked like a couple in love strolling around Glastonbury Festival last month. But Closer is hearing whispers that all is not well between One Direction heartthrob Louis Tomlinson and reality TV darling Zara McDermott. After just four months of dating, insiders say that there's already tension behind the scenes. A source tells us, ‘Zara and Louis have already split and reunited twice in the space of a few months. It's all moving very quickly. Too quickly for Zara. She's taking things slowly and wants to be 100% sure of everything before jumping in.’ The lovebirds’ weekend on Worthy Farm was apparently full of ups and downs. Zara, 28, was seen cuddling up with Louis’ sister, Lottie, but the pair reportedly didn't stay in the same tent as he camped…

Kelly Anderson was left heartbroken when her five-year-old Ragdoll cat, Chai, unexpectedly passed away after swallowing a plastic meat wrapper that had been left out by a pet sitter. But instead of succumbing to her grief, 35-year-old Kelly took action – and used Chai's DNA to have her cloned, costing £19,000. Now Chai lives on in Kelly's new puss, Belle. It's a move that she's faced backlash for, but Kelly says it was worth every penny to be reunited with her ‘soulmate’. She says, ‘People have accused me of playing God, and I know my decision was controversial. But I think cloning Chai is the greatest thing I've ever done.’ Kelly, who works in dog training and is a social media influencer, first bought Chai from an online breeder when…

Former tennis pro Boris Becker is expecting his fifth child at the age of 57, as he shared that his wife Lilian de Carvalho is pregnant with their first child together. Boris shared a photo of Lilian, 35, proudly cradling her baby bump, saying, ‘A tiny miracle is on the way… The best is yet to come.’ Boris has four other children with three different women. He has sons Noah, 30, and Elias, 25, with his first wife Barbara Feltus, Anna, 25, from a one-night stand while he was still married to Barbara, and son Amadeus, 15, from his second marriage to Sharlely Kerssenberg. Boris began dating his third and current wife Lilian in 2022, and their relationship was under the spotlight at the time as he was serving a…

They've been embroiled in an ongoing toxic feud since their split in 2009, and now Katie Price has reignited her fallout with ex-husband Peter Andre yet again in a row over their daughter Princess. The former glamour model, 47, deleted a tribute to her eldest daughter for her 18th birthday last week – after getting the date wrong. Katie had posted a photo of Princess as a child, writing, ‘Happy 18th birthday to the most amazing daughter and my best friend… I love you so much’, but quickly realised she had uploaded it two days early. She later replaced it with an up-to-date snap of the teen, posting, ‘2 days until Princess turns 18, can't believe it.’ FUMING And a source tells Closer that 52-year-old Peter – who also shares…

As well as appearing in the much-loved crime drama Silent Witness for over two decades, actress Emilia Fox has been part of some of the best shows in British television, including Pride And Prejudice and Merlin. Not only is Emilia one of our finest actors, she is also proud mum to daughter Rose, 14, whom she shares with her ex-partner, Jeremy Gilley. And, after marking the big 5-0 last year, Emilia – who has been dating TV producer Jonathan Stadlen since 2019 – chats to Closer about balancing work and motherhood and how she's excited for the next chapter of her life. What did turning 50 mean to you? It really is a significant milestone. You do think about what you've done in the first half of your life, where…

It's the gossip site that's dominated headlines, with streams of celebrities and influencers, including Katie Price and Lauryn Goodman, revealing they've been subjected to cruel abuse and harassment for years from trolls on controversial platform Tattle. And after the founder of the website was exposed in court as vegan influencer Sebastian Bond, Charlotte Dawson is the latest celebrity to speak about how she's suffered at the expense of the site. Despite her upbeat nature, the star, who is mum to sons Noah, four, and 22-month-old Jude, and four-month-old daughter Gigi with Matt Sarsfield, readily admits her mental health has taken a beating, as trolls have viciously mocked her appearance, her late father Les Dawson and shockingly even repeatedly called social services to falsely claim she was neglecting her children. Charlotte,…

If you get migraines, you'll know how horrible they can be – flashing lights, stabbing headache pain, being sick and feeling like nothing will shift it. So, I'm not surprised the latest remedy being touted on TikTok is so popular: the McMigraine diet. This is really just a large cola and French fries. It sounds bizarre, but there may be a scientific reason it could shift your migraine symptoms. Migraine is more than a headache; it's a neurological condition that causes a whole range of other symptoms. You might get warning signs before it starts, such as flashing lights or tunnel vision, pins and needles or trouble putting a sentence together – this is known as a migraine ‘aura’. A normal headache is quite difficult to localise, but with a…

CANCER 21 JUN – 22 JUL The way to overcome any work dramas at the moment is to buckle down but also think about what inspires you about your professional life. If the answer is ‘absolutely nothing’, then it might be time to see if you can get a new source of income. Visit Yasminboland.com for your daily horoscope IF IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK The more time you spend working on yourself in the coming 12 months, the better. There's a lot to be said for the ‘disappear for a year’ idea. You have amazing stars for having a lovely time with friends and at work, but don't be afraid of some alone time.…

We were only thinking the other day, ‘Wonder how Hugh's getting on with his new girlfriend, Sutton?’ And by the sounds of it, they're getting it on ALL THE TIME. Lucky girl! Sorry, Ed, but you literally cannot take the credit for creating sapphires. They're formed deep inside the Earth's crust when aluminium and oxygen atoms combine, usually in volcanic rock. Stick to the guitar ditties and stop making out like you're some kind of geological god! GRUMPY GRAM When Luke was promised a stay aboard a ‘mega-yacht’ moored off Ibiza, he hadn't pictured a boat so small that even his miniature dachshund couldn't stretch its legs. Someone will be fired over this!!!…

They stunned the residents of Essex when they admitted to kissing in 2017, and now, a decade after they joined the cast of TOWIE, Closer can exclusively reveal that Dan Edgar and Chloe Lewis are dating. A source tells us that Dan, 35, and his former co-star Chloe, 34, have grown close once again after reconnecting at fellow TOWIE stars Georgia Kousolou and Tommy Mallett's second wedding in Majorca last month. The source says, ‘Dan and Chloe started speaking at Georgia's wedding the other week. This is all very early days, but they've been texting lots ever since and they're both really smitten. ‘Dan has always fancied Chloe, he thinks she's beautiful and is desperate to settle down. He'd told friends that he wanted the next girl he dates to…

He entered as a bombshell, but scaffolder and semi-professional footballer Shea Mannings failed to make a connection in the villa and was dumped when Helena Ford decided to recouple with Giorgio Russo. Here, dad-of-one Shea, 25, gives his verdict on his fellow Islanders… You were dumped because Helena re-coupled with Giorgio, but she's already ended things with him. How do you feel about that? It's quite frustrating but, at the same time, she had to do what she had to do. I have no hard feelings towards her. We didn't really have a connection. It seems Helena still has chemistry with Harry Cooksley. Do you think they'll get back together? I think she would be silly to go back there, but I could see it happening. He really did treat…

It seems like tennis ace Emma Raducanu and her doubles partner Carlos Alcaraz may be the perfect pair off the court, as well as on. Both Emma and Carlos, both 22, are US Open champions and teamed up for doubles in the tournament this year, and their chemistry on the tennis court has sparked rumours of a romance between them. Emma did try to set the record straight about their relationship by saying, ‘We're just good friends’ and joked that she's ‘glad the internet is having fun and we're providing some entertainment for everyone’. But the pair do have history as she previously admitted, ‘We go back a long way. I think we both started to get to know each other a lot more in 2021’. She added, ‘We have…

For months, Nicola Peltz has been at the centre of a reported feud between her husband Brooklyn Beckham and his family. But the 30-year-old has finally hit back at claims that she is ‘controlling’ Brooklyn, 26, via the medium of Instagram. Last week Brooklyn posted a photo with Nicola and her family to celebrate her dad Nelson's 83rd birthday. In a comment on the post, a fan wrote, ‘The fact people are in this comment section talking bs about someone controlling a GROWN man is absurd. This guy is an adult and can make his own decisions, leave them to be and stop blaming women for everything.’ Nicola made her feelings abundantly clear by ‘liking’ the post. This comes after Brooklyn failed to attend any of his dad David's 50th…

When Lola Jimenez hosted her friends for a party in 2020, she made sure to lay out snacks and have entertainment sorted, but there was one specific agenda for the evening. Lola was on a mission to find the ideal sperm donor to help her conceive without a partner, and her nearest and dearest were there to help her. After a toxic relationship ended, Lola was determined to make her dream of becoming a mum true. She went to a fertility clinic, but needed help to choose who the sperm would come from. So, she decided to make the situation as fun as possible and threw a party to mark the occasion. Now Lola, 37, who lives in London, has had two children by herself. She says, ‘Traditions are changing…

When Cora Barnes gave birth to her baby girl in May 2023, she had no idea that within just 24 hours her whole world would be turned upside down. The following day, when her foster mum visited her in hospital, she had upsetting news about the father of Cora's baby, Luke Greenfield. Cora, 21, says, ‘She told me that Luke had been arrested for secretly filming himself having sex with girls. I was horrified as she explained that he'd had a secret camera hidden in the bedroom. I nearly threw up and just kept thinking, “What a pervert, how could he?” ‘The police wanted me to identify some of the pictures and, after I was discharged from hospital, they came round, showed me photos from a video and asked if…

How much do you spend… Roughly £250. I tend to mix the shop up depending on what I'm after. For my everyday clean-luxe staples, it's usually Daylesford or Planet Organic. I'll go to Turner & George for beautifully marbled, grass-fed British beef, and Thai supermarkets are my go-to for herbs and chillies. I also love a good seasonal delivery box – FarmDrop or The Organic Delivery Co. are favourites – and if it's a special occasion, nothing beats Fortnum & Mason. Describe your daily diet… I start the day with a cold-pressed green juice packed with ginger, turmeric, lime and chlorella, followed by a black coffee blended with coconut oil. Breakfast is softboiled eggs with rocket, avocado and an irresponsible amount of chilli flakes. Lunch tends to be something Thai-inspired…

ANNABEL SCHOLEY: ‘Blending work and family is never easy’ Annabel Scholey stars in the second series of The Couple Next Door In this tense suburban thriller, we return to the same troubled cul-de-sac that provided the setting for series one, only this time the drama focuses on what's going on behind different doors. At the heart of the storyline is Charlotte (Annabel Scholey), a driven Yorkshire heart surgeon who seemingly has the perfect home, career, and marriage – that is until a magnetic new doctor, Mia (Aggy K. Adams), arrives to upend everything. Here, Annabel, 41, tells us what drew her to the role and why the show will resonate with women everywhere… What attracted you to the part? I'd watched the first series and was utterly hooked, so when this…

Strapping her baby son into his car seat in her brother's car one morning in 2021, Gemma* fought back tears. She had no idea when she'd next see Teddy, then 13 months old. Later that day Gemma was due in court to be sentenced, having been found guilty of fraud by abuse of position, after admitted siphoning £152k from her employer's bank account over a two-year period. The crime carries a maximum jail sentence of 10 years. Some may feel that Gemma, now 44, was only getting what she deserved, however she maintains that she was forced to steal the money by her abusive ex – and that it was Teddy who suffered most from her facing jail. She says, ‘I hadn't committed a single crime before I met Tony.…

Former Neighbours actress Holly Valance looks like she's got a life in politics ahead of her following her split from her billionaire property developer husband, Nick Candy, after 13 years of marriage. A source reportedly said last week that the couple had ‘been living separate lives for a long time’. Holly, 42, and Nick, 52, were last pictured together in March, and a spokesperson for the couple has said, ‘This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.’ Holly was recently seen landing at Heathrow Airport, tellingly without her wedding ring. The former couple tied the knot in a lavish £3 million ceremony in 2012, where guests included Elton John and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. The pair share daughters Luka, 11, and Nova, seven, and…

Last week, Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osborne put on a united front – as the EastEnders actress publicly supported her husband at the launch of his new tanning salon. But fans will know that behind the scenes, things have been far from rosy between the couple. Despite being married for eight years, Dan, 34, and Jac, 32 – who share daughters Ella, 10, and seven-year-old Mia – appeared to announce in March that they had split for good. PRESSURE However, just weeks later, they reconciled with a ‘make or break’ holiday to Mexico. But while they seem to be giving their 12-year on/off romance another try, Jac's family are concerned for the star – and friends tell Closer that she should be focusing on their strained relationship instead of putting…

Kelly Osbourne She was rumoured to have lost weight with help from skinny jabs, but Kelly, 40, has denied using Ozempic for her dramatic body transformation. ‘I've never taken Ozempic. I don't know what Ozempic does to you other than what I saw it do to my mum,’ she said, having previously admitted to having gastric sleeve surgery. And while she hasn't tried it herself, the reality TV star called it ‘amazing’, saying, ‘I think it is a miracle drug in the right hands.’ Sharon Osbourne One of the first stars to open up about using Ozempic, Sharon has sworn off the drug after being unhappy she has lost too much weight. The 72-year-old TV star, who started using it in November 2022 and admitted it made her feel sick…

‘Now, I like a good plain biscuit almost as much as I do a plain cake, and jam drops would have to be one of the finest plain biscuits around. What they lack in finesse they surely make up for in charm.’ TILLY PAMMENT'S COCONUT JAM DROPS STEP 1 In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Many of us spend weeks on a pre-holiday health kick – then instantly undo all the good work the minute we lock the front door and leave for our trip! Almost two-thirds of us – 62% – admit we ditch our diet and exercise routines when on holiday. Add in all-inclusive buffets, lots of booze, lazy days and late nights, and it's no wonder we come home feeling in need of another holiday to recover!

A whopping nine million Brits are too anxious to check their bank balances, according to CredAbility. Their consumer money expert Aaron Peake suggests: • Putting away even £2 a week into a ‘just in case’ pot can help. It's less about building a huge savings buffer, and more about feeling prepared. • One in four people wouldn't open up to loved ones about debt, but breaking the silence with just one line can make a huge difference. Try, ‘I've been feeling stressed about money, can we talk?’ • Set aside one hour each week to tackle a money task you've been avoiding, whether it's cancelling a subscription, reviewing your energy plan, or setting up a cashback app. That's 52 small wins a year. You don't have to solve everything at…
