NEWS ‘HE’S HAPPY IN HIS NEW LIFE, BUT DOES WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT ALL WENT WRONG’ His upcoming tell-all memoir will no doubt unleash more bombshells and cause further upset within the Royal Family. But an insider tells Closer that Prince Harry - who is said to have written the book before the Queen’s funeral in September and requested “rewrites” after his return to the UK - feels full of regret, and has reached out to sister-in-law Kate Middleton to beg for her help in healing the deepening rift between him and the family. A source reveals, “Prince Harry feels awful at the way it’s all unfolding with his memoir release, as well as the upcoming docu-series that’s being tied into The Crown. Kate is the only senior…

While she’s had a recent spell of explosive drama and backlash, Ferne McCann appeared to brush it all off last week as she frolicked on a sun-soaked beach in Marbella with fiancé Lorri Haines and their children from previous relationships. Packing on the PDAs with her beau, Ferne McCann, 32, grinned from ear-to-ear as she enjoyed what she called a “much-needed break” following an explosive fallout with her childhood pal Sam Faiers - which has left her reputation in tatters. And pals say Ferne - mum to daughter, Sunday, five - looks amazing as she’s stepped up her workouts and has been rigid with her nutrition plan in a bid to get her body ready for another pregnancy. SCANDAL The source says, “Ferne has really been taking care of herself…

She’s been engaged for two years after her boyfriend Matt Sarsfield got down on one knee next to a statue of her late father, comedian Les - and now Charlotte Dawson says she’s planning the wedding of the century. The reality star, 30, moved into her “house of her dreams” in Lancashire just last month with Matt and their 18-monthold son Noah, so she admits a wedding would now be the icing on the cake. Talking exclusively to Closer at the launch of Disney On Ice, Charlotte laughs, “I want a 10-day wedding. When I’m enjoying myself, I like things to be neverending! I don’t like anything ending. I’ll have a huge white dress and 10 bridesmaids. I know it will be the best day and having Noah there will…

They’ve performed all over the world and in front of millions of people, from London’s Royal Albert Hall to New York’s City Center. But Michael Ball and Alfie Boe say that their favourite performances are for the Royal Family, and they’re hoping their pal King Charles invites them back for a show after he’s crowned King. Alfie says, “Charles is a lovely guy and he’s going to be a great King – we haven’t been invited to perform for him yet, but I hope we will! I’ve met them all. They’re a wonderful family, they really are. This nation wouldn’t be the same without them. Her Majesty was just a delight.” SPECIAL OCCASION Michael, 60, and Alfie, 49 – who both rose to fame individually in the musical theatre world…

She spoke openly about her pregnancy loss earlier this year after tragically suffering an early miscarriage while she was making a live TV appearance on The Jeremy Vine Show, but now Ashley James is happily expecting her second baby in spring. The 35-year television star, who is mum to 22-month-old son Alf with her partner Tommy Andrews, tells Closer, “I think the more people that talk about experiencing loss, the more it helps break down the stigma. I feel very grateful to be in a situation where I’m past the high-risk mark.” CHALLENGING She adds, “We’ve got the letter that reveals the sex of the baby in the house, but we’re enjoying not knowing for now. Getting to watch Alf be a big brother will be so special. He always…

THIS MORNING CHEF CLODAGH MCKENNA, 47, ON HOW SHE LOOKS AFTER HER BODY AND MIND GREEN JUICE MAKES ME FEEL GOOD… Every morning I make my juice with spinach, celery, ginger, apples, parley, mint, kale and yoghurt and blend it all up. If I’m away travelling and can’t get access to green vegetables, I can feel the difference in my whole system. EXERCISING LIFTS MY MOOD… People always ask me, ‘How come you’re so happy all the time?’ but I really work at it. I start the day with 10 minutes of meditation, followed by 20 minutes of cardio on the Peleton and I do yoga three times a week. IF I’VE HAD A STRESSFUL DAY, I DANCE… I put on my headphones and have a silent disco! We also…

Totally agree, Katy. And can we just point out that Closer also makes a wonderful noise over breakfast - especially that sound of raucous laughter as you reach the final page… Tricky question, Lizzo, but it was probably when we looked into the mirror this morning and said, “Not too bad, considering last night involved cheap wine, s**tmix cocktails and a 3am stop at a fast food trailer”. GRUMPY GRAM Dawn French’s super-important Zoom business meeting was going so well… until she realised some swine had swapped her usual mug for this one. OUTRAGE!…

I’m A Celebrity! returned to our screens at the weekend and this year’s line-up could see the most scandalous camp mates to ever enter the Australian jungle. And fans were more than a little surprised and excited when it was announced that former England rugby player and prolific member of the royal family, Mike Tindall, would be among them. FAVOURITE Mike is married to Zara Tindall, who is the daughter of Princess Anne and King Charles’ niece. While the 44-year-old isn’t a working royal, he’s a firm favourite of Prince William and Kate Middleton, and was seen making faces at mischievous Prince Louis during the late Queen s Jubilee celebrations in June. An onlooker also alleged they had overheard Mike, who was once photographed pinching Zara's bum in public, referring…

She's been keeping fans guessing over her relationship status, but last week Alison Hammond confirmed she is officially off the market. Speaking on the Saving Grace podcast, Alison, 48, revealed, “ He’s a lovely man and all I can say is that I’ve had him hidden for a year and a half. “He loves me to bits. He absolutely worships me and massages my feet every single day. What more do you want?” The This Morning host - who is mum to son Aiden, 17, from a previous relationship - also candidly revealed her cheeky chat up line. She added, “I just said, ‘Babes, do you think you can handle this juice?’…You’ve got to be confident haven’t you?” And in another recent interview, she gushed, “There is someone special, and…

CHERYL'S HURT OVER LIAM'S 'BETRAYAL' Liam Payne’s love life hit the headlines yet again last week when he was snapped holding hands with American party girl, Kate Cassidy. The singer, 29, attended a Halloween bash with his 23-yearold new love interest - dressed up as infamous '90s couple Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, and sources reveal how the pair are “mad about each other”. But just two weeks ago the former 1D star turned out to support 39-year-old Cheryl - with whom he shares five-yearold son, Bear - at a charity gala in honour of her late former Girls Aloud bandmate, Sarah Harding. Their rare red carpet appearance - four years after their split - sparked rumours they could be back together, and insiders even claimed Cheryl was considering welcoming…

They’ve wowed fans with their incredible performances on Strictly, quickly becoming the bookies’ favourites to make the final. Now Tyler West reveals that he and dance partner Dianne Buswell aren’t letting the pressure get to them and are focusing on the competition by having as much fun as possible. “We're just having the best time. We were the first to get a 10 in the series and we have been at the top of the leaderboard,” smiles the DJ and radio star, who only three weeks into the competition received a 10 from Motsi Mabuse and Shirley Ballas for the Charleston. “There is pressure to try to stay there at the top. The pressure is a weird one because I never once imagined even being on the show. So I…

• After my first birth, I had to learn how to dress again. Find a style that works for your new body. Factoring in clothes that were easily accessible for breastfeeding was so important for me. I love knit dresses because they last you all the way through pregnancy and afterwards. • Put any clothes that don’t fit you into storage, because there's nothing worse than opening a wardrobe and looking at clothes that don’t fit you. It’s not going to make you feel good. The clothes you wear can have such a big impact on your confidence when you don’t feel yourself. • For all the negative things people say about social media, it can be a really positive space if you follow the right people and unfollow those…

Learning to cook would also be a great skill for Dani to have and give her more control…

ALL ABOUT YOU! DON'T GET SUCKED IN BY MANIFESTING Celebs from Ariana Grande to Lady Gaga swear by it, but Emma says there are far better ways to achieve your hopes and dreams These days, I see a lot of unqualified people describing themselves as “experts”. Many are currently suggesting “manifesting” - the idea being that if you think positively about what you want, and believe you can achieve it, the universe will provide. Being positive and having self-belief is essential, but suggesting that creating your perfect life is completely within your power is nonsense. If you could simply “manifest” everything you desire, I'd be writing this column from my beach-front Malibu home! Rather than turning to this unproven pop psychology, use evidence-based strategies. Write down your goals, as seeing…

She’s loved-up with husband Joe Swash - who she married in the summer at their home, Pickle Cottage - and her four kids. But Stacey Solomon was dragged into drama last week when her ex-boyfriend, Jackass superstar Steve-O, dished the dirt on their past relationship. In his new book, A Hard Kick In The Nuts: What I’ve Learned From A Lifetime Of Terrible Decisions, Steve-O - whose real name is Stephen Gilchrist Glover - reflected on his battle with sex addiction and relationship with the former X Factor singer and said he “still beats himself up’” over how things ended. He wrote, “I was smitten, I lavished her with attention, I got what I wanted and then I broke it off. I had become not only part of her life,…

Ever since the furore over “queue-gate”, reports have claimed that there have been “crisis talks” and plans for a potential “shake-up” at This Morning. And insiders now say the whole ordeal has pushed Holly Willoughby into a new direction too, as they reveal she’s ready to ditch her “good girl” image after becoming “sick” of being judged. A source says, “Holly has gone from children’s TV to daytime TV in her career and she’s always felt as though she’s had to cultivate a saintly image. “One thing she’s learned from the recent backlash is that everyone puts her on an incredibly high pedestal, and she thinks it’s ridiculous. At the same time, she knows she has brought it on herself as she’s spent years building up her image and brand…

When Jade McCrossenNethercott reported her rape to the police, she was aware of the low conviction rates. After waking up the morning after a party and feeling she’d been assaulted, a friend told her that she’d consented something she strongly denies. She was determined to see her attacker face justice, but after struggling to get it to court, she tells Closer, “Reporting it felt like the right thing to do, but the risk averse attitude of the Crown Prosecution Service meant my case was dropped.” BROKEN Jade’s story is just one of thousands that reveal how broken our justice system appears to have become when it comes to prosecuting rape and sexual crimes. Out of nearly 200,000 sexual offences reported in 2022, just 4,466 were brought to the CPS, resulting…

As doting dads to daughter Valentina, two, and two-monthold son Romeo, Barrie Drewitt-Barlow and Scott Hutchinson are well-versed in the wonders of surrogacy. And Barrie - who has seven children born via surrogates - wants other couples to experience the gift of parenthood too. The selfmade multi-millionaire plans to launch a legal challenge to Britain’s “outdated” laws, saying surrogacy should be available on the NHS, and believes the cost-of-living will deny many people the chance to become parents. So, Barrie is offering up to £450,000 to help three couples - up to £150,000 each - to have a baby through his company, the British Surrogacy Centre (BSC). Barrie, 51, says, “It’s still very difficult to have a family through surrogacy, especially with the restrictive laws in the UK, which breaks…

When ghosting started to become a thing, I felt most of us were stunned that someone could be so cruel. Now it’s so common, everyone knows what it means, and I think anyone who has dated has experienced it. And in a way I feel a lot of us dating app veterans are used to it and have become desensitised. However, when you really like someone, it still has the power to crush you. So I can only applaud dating app Badoo for trying to put an end to the behaviour by installing a “no ghosting” badge, where users pledge their commitment to being antighosting. And they’ve already had 20,000 daters sign up. It’s a great thing to agree with - and I’m with them - but it still can’t…

TV WEEK: 12-18 NOV FINAL 1 THE GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF THIS YEAR'S WINNER ANNOUNCED TUE 15 NOV, 8PM, C4 And now, the end is here… But before that final curtain is drawn, there are important baking-related tasks to attend to - namely a “perfect picnic” for the Signature, and for the Technical, a “summer classic” (scones just won't do!). Finally, the Showstopper is the big one, and whoever can create a sensational “baked celebration of our planet” might just end up lifting that GBBO trophy… Paul Hollywood himself told Closer that the winner was a “difficult choice this year”, owing to a very high standard.
