She caused shockwaves when she abruptly ended her engagement to Tommy Fury back in August – but now insiders tell Closer that Molly-Mae Hague is not only back with him but they’ve already set a date for a secret wedding! The pair got engaged in Ibiza after meeting on Love Island series five and had baby Bambi in 2023 before their dramatic split – which he later claimed was down to his boozing. Now, Molly-Mae and Tommy, both 25, reportedly want to jet off on a romantic holiday to rekindle their romance and close pals believe they may even have plans to elope. An insider tells Closer, ‘Molly wants to secretly escape to Ibiza with Tommy again, back to where they got engaged. Close friends think they’re going to secretly…

They’re no strangers to making headlines, but Kanye West and Bianca Censori’s shocking ‘nude’ stunt at the Grammy Awards took their attention-seeking to another level. The couple went viral when they stepped out on the red carpet at LA’s Crypto.com Arena, before Bianca, 30, dropped her black floor-length fur coat to reveal a sheer mesh dress, showing her near-naked body. A source claimed that the rapper, 47, insisted on his wife adopting the look. ‘She would have much rather worn a pretty dress. She would have enjoyed the evening a lot more,’ they said. The stunt prompted a backlash, with fans expressing their fears for the pair’s relationship, with one online commenter writing, ‘Someone needs to save Bianca Censori from Kanye.’ LipReader founder Nicola Hickling claimed that the couple exchanged…

Despite Sam Thompson’s bubbly and upbeat persona, it hasn’t been easy for the TV favourite lately – following his reported break-up from girlfriend of five years, Zara McDermott, towards the end of last year. But despite his heartache, Sam, 34 – who rose to fame on MIC before becoming a national treasure by winning I’m A Celebrity! in 2023 – is looking to the future. And he’s no doubt being supported by his best pal and Staying Relevant co-host, Pete Wicks, 36 – who has had tongues wagging himself recently amid his rumoured relationship with Love Island star Maura Higgins. Although, nowadays, Sam, 32, hosts The Hits Radio Evening Show as well as his charttopping podcast, his roots are in reality TV. And he now tells Closer that, while he…

Kris Jenner has put out countless PR fires for her gaggle of famous daughters – and now she’s setting her sights on Justin Bieber. Last week, fans were shocked when Justin, 30, stepped out in New York looking dishevelled, a far cry from his baby-faced pop star days. TROUBLES The star has recently been plagued by rumoured marriage troubles, which weren’t helped when he unfollowed wife Hailey Bieber back in January – although he quickly claimed that he’d been hacked. He then raised fans’ eyebrows when he refused to comment on the arrest of his ex-mentor, P Diddy, for sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s previously struggled with drug addiction, and was spotted smoking what appeared to be cannabis earlier this month. Now, the Kardashian matriarch, 69, is hatching a plan…

Bec Rawlings’ talent and determination saw her make history as the first women’s world champion in the brutal world of bare-knuckle fighting. With her rippling six-pack and tattoos, she was a formidable opponent in the ring, but outside it, the mum-of-two’s life was almost destroyed by emotional and physical abuse at the hands of her ex-husband, she has claimed. Now, after starring in an award-winning documentary, Fight To Live, she’s sharing her story to raise awareness of domestic abuse and reveal how she escaped her turbulent marriage to rebuild her life and triumph as a professional fighter. Bec, 35, from Tasmania, Australia, says, ‘Domestic violence doesn’t discriminate. It can happen to women from all walks of life. I’m a professional fighter and it happened to me. It’s rampant and something…

We’re racing towards the final of Love Island: All Stars but, just as the couples were getting comfortable, more bombshells have rocked the villa. New arrival Samie Elishi recently came between Grace Jackson and Luca Bish, with him kissing Samie during a game of Spin The Bottle just moments after Grace asked him not to. ‘You said you wouldn’t kiss her, but you did,’ Grace fumed, before telling Luca, ‘Just shut the f**k up.’ She also hit out at Omar Nyame – who she had a fling with on the show last year – after continuing to discuss Luca’s kiss. And while Grace’s explosive response split fans of the show, her former Series 11 co-star Nicole Samuel defended her actions when Closer caught up with her for a chat. What…

Whether it’s porch pirates nabbing parcels off your doorstep, or receiving goods that look nothing like the picture, buying online is not always glitch-free. ‘The biggest area of complaints that I get asked about is retail and shopping issues,’ says consumer rights expert Martyn James. ‘Many retailers go out of their way to muddy the waters in terms of what the law is.’ For starters, Martyn suggests we stick to companies based in the UK or within the EU, which are compliant with The Consumers Rights Act (avoid those charging you in foreign currency or with addresses or websites abroad). ‘They may have Union Jacks in their URL addresses, but when you go to return a product, it turns out they’re based in China,’ he says. Here are his other…

She is renowned for being social media’s golden girl, regularly sharing glimpses of her picture-perfect family life as a proud mum of five. But Stacey Solomon’s name was dragged through the mud last week when her ex-boyfriend, Steve-O – whose real name is Stephen Glover -became embroiled in a historic drug scandal. LIVID Stacey, 35 – who is now happily married to husband Joe Swash – was mentioned in a string of headlines and reports surrounding the news, with the Jackass star being referred to as ‘Stacey Solomon’s ex’, and an insider tells Closer that it’s left her devastated. ‘Stacey is horrified that her name has been dragged into this,’ our source says. ‘Her relationship with Steve-O was a long time ago and they were only together for six months…

' SHE WASN’T IN THE RIGHT HEADSPACE FOR A NEW ROMANCE ' Her life was marred by tragedy last year – and for Cheryl, 2025 is showing no signs of letting up after yet more heartbreak following the collapse of a new relationship. Just months after the tragic loss of her ex-boyfriend Liam Payne – father to her sevenyear-old son, Bear – in October, it was revealed that a convicted killer had been stalking her and even turned up at the Buckinghamshire home that she shares with her young son. Daniel Bannister, 49 -who was found guilty of manslaughter in 2012 – was jailed in September last year after being convicted of stalking Cheryl. Upon his release from prison, he turned up outside her home, breaching the restraining order against…

When Lauren Spencer’s husband Charlie came downstairs for breakfast with a grin on his face in 2020, she had no idea about the bombshell he was about to drop… After asking what was behind his upbeat mood she was stunned to hear it was down to her amorous moves on him in the middle of night -something she had no memory of whatsoever. After it happened again, Lauren was so worried she went to her GP fearing she had early dementia. Instead her doctor confirmed she had sexsomnia, a rare sleep disorder where sufferers engage in sexual activity while asleep. The condition has also seen Lauren getting up in the early hours to do household chores, start random conversations and make those slumber-deep saucy approaches to Charlie. SHOCKED As a…

' IT’S TAKEN A MAJOR TOLL BEHIND THE SCENES ' With a trial date set for the end of March and film director Justin Baldoni showing no sign of backing down, A-listers Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have a tough road ahead. Justin, 41 has accused the couple of trying to ‘destroy’ him with false allegations, after Blake, 37, sued him in December with claims of sexual harassment and creating a toxic work environment on the set of hit movie, It Ends With Us. Now, Justin is seeking $400m for damages, and the case has shaken the celebrity couple to their core. UNSETTLING A source tells Closer, ‘The Baldoni camp is showing no signs of letting up. Knowing that all aspects of their pasts are being raked over with the…

Rumours have been swirling that EkinSu Cülcüloglu, 30, isn’t in the villa for love, with many believing she’s working to a game plan. Celeb PR and talent manager Chad Teixeira chats with Closer and reveals why he believes it could all be a cash grab. CALCULATED He says, ‘Ekin-Su is a seasoned reality TV star who understands the power of public perception, and her decision to return to the villa could be a calculated effort to reshape her image after the backlash she faced from Celebrity Big Brother. ‘What we’re seeing on screen is likely Ekin-Su leaning into her reality TV persona. She knows how to keep the audience engaged, and the over-the-top behaviour could indicate that she’s playing up her character to remain relevant. ‘She’s always been theatrical and,…

I embrace a weekend with no plans in my house. In fact, I diarise one every other weekend. These are periods with an opportunity to rest, recharge and relax. If you go flat-out for seven days a week, it’s going to end in burnout – and that includes children too. Weekdays are busy with school, work and clubs, and if we have plans at the weekend, that means we need to be at a certain place at a certain time, and we are still operating in a level of stress, with cortisol firing up. During the week we must stick to schedules – often planned by someone else – so at the weekend it can be so liberating not to have to conform to one. On our ‘nothing’ weekends, we…

BE SAVVY WITH YOUR SUPPLEMENTS When it comes to keeping your energy and immunity in tip-top shape, supplements may give you a helping hand. ‘Several micronutrients support the immune system, including vitamins C, B6, plus the minerals zinc and selenium,’ says nutritionist Kate Llewellyn-Waters. ‘B vitamins are great to support energy production, but avoid taking them too close to bedtime as they can keep you awake.’ Kate adds that it’s important not to overdose. ‘Ensure your supplement doesn’t contain toohigh levels of essential vitamins and minerals,’ she says. ‘This can lead to toxicity, which is as bad as deficiency. Ideally, the included nutrients should be approximately 100% NRV (Nutrient Reference Value).’ Try My Immune Hero, an immunity support supplement which also contains six organic mushroom varieties (klwnutrition.com).

Just weeks after shock rumours that Meghan Markle had approached publishers to see if there was interest in a ‘divorce book’, she’s now said to be using her split from her first husband to forge a friendship with Hollywood star Jessica Alba. Former actress Meghan, 43, and Jessica, also 43, both attended fellow actress Kerry Washington’s 48th birthday party at the start of the month, and a source tells Closer that the pair hit it off while discussing the end of their respective marriages. A-LIST PALS Fantastic Four star Jessica shocked fans last month when she announced she was divorcing film producer Cash Warren, her partner of 20 years who she married in 2008, and father of her three children. She said in a social media post, ‘I’m proud of…

Returning to our screens as she makes her debut on Netflix’s new reality series Celebrity Bear Hunt, Holly Willoughby and her new co-host Bear Grylls have grown very close. And after spending three weeks together in Costa Rica’s jungle, where they filmed the adventure show with celebs including model Lottie Moss, Spice Girl Mel B and Saturdays singer Una Healy, the bond between the long-time friends has clearly become even stronger. GOING SOLO As the main host, the show marks Holly’s first solo presenting role – and her first away from ITV -following a ‘tough’ year, which saw her step down after 14 years on This Morning when former security guard Gavin Plumb was jailed for life for masterminding a kidnap and murder plot against the star. At Celebrity Bear…

After years living a carefree, party girl lifestyle, Kate Lawler tied the knot with beau Martin Bojtos, aka ‘Boj’, in 2022, just a year after welcoming their baby daughter, Noa. And while the presenter says Boj – a podcast company owner – is her best mate, she also thinks it’s important to spend time apart. TIME APART ‘I’ve always had my girls’ nights out, and he has nights out with the lads,’ says Kate, who shot to fame in 2002 after becoming the first female winner of Big Brother. ‘Our relationship is based on a strong friendship, and I’m so lucky we have that. But I do believe a healthy relationship requires you to have time apart from each other, too, particularly when you work together.’ The couple launched their…

She’s attempting a bid for a musical comeback – but while fans are flocking to see Katie Price perform at clubs, her pop ambitions have left boyfriend JJ Slater unimpressed. The 46-year-old former model is hoping to return to the charts 20 years after she lost a bid to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest. Katie recently performed a gig at a nightclub in Barnsley, being filmed downing shots and belting out a rendition of Jermaine Stewart’s We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off with her nose bandaged after recent surgery. And a source tells Closer that JJ, 32, is feeling torn over his girlfriend’s new career. ‘JJ’s such a supportive person, but he does have his limits,’ says our insider. ‘He wants to see her doing…

When Sarah Vaeth bought a corset to help correct her posture and fix her back problems in 2012, she had no idea it would lead her to dramatically change the way she looked. While at first it was uncomfortable, she grew to love the extreme hourglass shape it gave her body and, over time, she began to buy smaller and smaller corsets to shrink her waist and achieve a unique look. CHALLENGE While she took a break when pregnant with her daughter, her passion to achieve a small waist was reignited soon after giving birth. Then, last year, after seeing a post online about the world record for the smallest waist in the world – which was 15 inches – Sarah decided to attempt to get hers down to 14.7…

1 Choosing the right shampoo doesn’t have to be expensive… My go-to brand is OGX. Once you’ve washed, gently squeeze the hair with a towel -rather than rubbing – to limit frizz. 2 Don’t style until your hair is 80% dry… All styling takes place when hair goes from damp to dry. If you want a bouncy blow-dry, use the dryer’s nozzle and a radial boar brush to ensure a smooth finish. 3 Sectioning clips are essential… I really couldn’t do a blow-dry without them. Not only do they let you tackle each section properly, they also don’t create indents in the hair. 4 Always use heat protection… Especially if you’re using heated tools, as it really makes a difference on keeping your strands healthy. I love The Prologue Hair…

GETTING OUTSIDE IS MY MOOD BOOSTER… There’s nothing better than bundling up the kids [Teddy, four, and Betty, two], grabbing the scooters and heading out for a family walk with the dog. Fresh air and movement do wonders for my mental health. STAYING ACTIVE IS A MUST… Chasing after two toddlers keeps me on my toes, but I make time for daily walks to stay fit. I’m even eyeing up a treadmill for those days when I need to squeeze in a workout at home. SLEEP IS A WORK IN PROGRESS… With little ones, a full night’s sleep isn’t always guaranteed, but I have my rituals. My wife Kate and I are usually in bed by 9pm. SELF-CARE CAN BE THE SMALL THINGS… When I get the chance, a bubble…

As more people are choosing to get tattoos, we’re also seeing a rise in the number of people changing their mind and having them removed. But anyone can set themselves up as a tattoo remover – a lack of industry regulations and the huge range of cheap removal guns now available online, some for as little as £350, are putting people at risk. IS THEIR EQUIPMENT RELIABLE? Getting a tattoo removed isn’t easy – you may need multiple treatments, as some colours respond much better to treatment than others. This requires a good knowledge of different laser wavelengths (as specific wavelengths work on specific colours) so your practitioner needs to know which wavelengths will be most effective. For multicoloured and larger tattoos, removal takes a lot of time – even…

GRUMPY GRAM When Jayden said his head was ‘in a dark place’, fans went into panic mode. Turns out he’s just got a fetish for silly hats. Literally, PHEW!…
