NEWS It’s been almost two months since Molly-Mae Hague called off her engagement to fiancé Tommy Fury. And last week, the boxer’s memoir, Lightning Can Strike Twice: My Life As A Fury, hit the shelves, dropping bombshells about their relationship. In the book, Tommy, 25, denies having an affair but admits that ‘there was an issue’ in his relationship with Molly-Mae, also 25. He also details how the couple would have disputes at least once a month, and how hurt he is that he missed so much of the start of his one-year-old daughter Bambi’s life due to work conflicts. Despite this, Tommy refers to Molly-Mae as his ‘soulmate’ in the memoir, and in a recent interview said, ‘I will love her until my final breath. I know what I…

It’s been almost 18 months since the sensational scandal that saw Phillip Schofield step down from his role at This Morning. But last week, the ‘disgraced’ TV star was at the front of yet another fallout as his fiery feud with former co-star and best friend Holly Willoughby was reignited following his comeback show, C5’s Cast Away. While Phil didn’t mention her name directly during the show, reports emerged last week claiming that he now refers to Holly as ‘the witch’, who he allegedly accused of ‘bringing me down’. And now sources say that while she has kept a dignified silence so far, Holly, 43, has been left horrified by the things Phil, 62, has said. An insider reveals, ‘Phillip is consumed by bitterness and Holly is lost for words.…

When Kerry Rodrigues introduced her boyfriend, TJ, to her family, they all approved. But one family member seemed to take a very strong liking to her beau – and that was her Auntie Patty. After Kerry and TJ got married in 2021, they, along with Patty, started working at the same holiday resort, when Kerry noticed the two were starting to rub along together a little too well. MORE MATURE After turning detective, Kerry caught the devious duo up to no good in TJ’s van. Horrified, Kerry divorced TJ and now she has decided to put the past behind her and remains civil with them both. She says, ‘Although I’ve been left with major trust issues, life is too short to live in anger.’ Growing up, Kerry moved between her…

As rumours swirl that Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori have called it quits, the rapper’s ex, Kim Kardashian, is reportedly getting nervous of how the split will affect her and her famous family. An insider tells Closer, ‘Kim doesn’t really know what to make of Kanye and this attention-seeking behaviour anymore. Like everyone, she’s extremely confused by this split saga and trying to find out exactly what’s going on. She does have that morbid curiosity as it amazes her that they have lasted this long already. She and pretty much everyone in the family thinks it’s the most ridiculous, dysfunctional relationship they’ve ever seen.’ After two years of marriage, the Gold Digger rapper, 47, and his model wife, 29, have reportedly been telling pals that they split weeks ago,…

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPIC OF THE WEEK More investigation needed into mother-of-five Alice Webb's death after non-surgical BBL, inquest hears How many times does this have to happen before we learn from these mistakes? The law is too fuzzy – because filler isn’t a medicine, anybody can administer it and they don’t need any kind of medical background. That’s putting people at risk. Sticking anything in your body, medicine or not, always comes with risks. DON'T RISK YOUR LIFE With a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift (BBL), you’re tunnelling fairly large needles down under the skin, past – hopefully – important organs and leaving behind a trail of filler. That sounds pretty surgical to me. It carries all the same risks as surgery: bleeding, infection,…

NEWS Katie Price has made no secret about wanting more children, and the mother-of-five appears to be taking a major step towards making it happen with boyfriend JJ Slater. Last week, the couple were spotted soaking up the sun on holiday in Cyprus. And insiders tell Closer that Katie’s trip with MAFS UK star JJ, 32, wasn’t about topping up their tans, but rather was a ‘top secret baby-making mission’. SIMILARITIES A source reveals, ‘Katie and JJ met with IVF clinic experts who have told her she does have a chance to have children – despite her lower-grade eggs and age. She has exhausted all IVF attempts and channels in the UK, and is hoping this is the start to expanding her family.’ And now Closer speaks to Katie’s ex…

Liam Payne’s name nearly broke the internet for all the wrong reasons last week – sparking a huge backlash on social media following a series of damaging allegations made about him by his ex-fiancée, Maya Henry. Now, as other rumours begin to appear online, insiders say Cheryl – his ex-girlfriend and mother of his seven-year-old son, Bear – has been left worried about him. CONCERNED A source says, ‘Obviously Cheryl is just extremely concerned about Liam in general right now. At the end of the day, they are coparents to Bear, who means the world to both of them. ‘Cheryl has always tried to steer Liam in the best direction possible, but she can only do so much – and recently, as his life has become even more complicated and…

Just when we thought things couldn’t get any more heated between Lauryn Goodman and Annie Kilner, last week alleged messages between Annie and a mystery pal – claimed to be fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy – were revealed, with Annie reportedly saying that she wanted Lauryn ‘dead’. Lauryn, 33, hit back on her private Instagram account, writing, ‘This has been going on for some time now. This isn’t the only time threats have been made towards me. Numerous people have come forward with similar information. It’s quite concerning that this level of hate continues with people still trying to deflect their own behaviour. Thisworld can be cruel and dangerous, and it makes me fearful.’ HORRIFIED An insider tells Closer that Lauryn is horrified by reports of Annie’s savage words, saying, ‘The…

Their steamy routines have led to weeks of romance rumours. But while Pete Wicks and Jowita Przystal have done nothing to dampen the whispers after being pictured looking cosy backstage last week, insiders now reveal that there’s a new Strictly scandal brewing as Pete’s growing feelings for Jowita have forced him into making a tough decision over his relationship with love interest Maura Higgins. ATTRACTED In August, the TOWIE heartthrob, 35, and Love Island star, 33, were spotted snogging during a lunch date at London’s Soho Hotel, before Maura joined Pete on his podcast tour last month – wearing a T-shirt with a picture of them kissing alongside the slogan ‘We Can’t Be Friends’. Now a source says the situation has sparked a tricky love triangle for the reality TV…

Comedian Miranda Hart, 51, surprised fans by revealing that she had secretly got married. The actress, best known for playing the titular role in the sitcom, Miranda – where her character’s mother was constantly trying to find a match for her daughter – met her beau when he was hired to fix a mould problem in her £2 million home during Covid. After months of socially-distanced tea dates, and even a temporary break-up, the building surveyor popped the question in Kew Gardens. However, she’s keeping his identity under wraps in her new book, I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You, only referring to him as ‘The Boy’ or ‘The Mould Man’.…

Whether you’re a coffee fiend or a tea fan, your brew of choice may be protecting you against developing what’s called cardiometabolic diseases, so things like type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke. Researchers said that regularly enjoying a moderate amount of coffee or tea, so three cups of coffee, or 200-300 mg of caffeine a day, was the sweet spot. Compared with people who avoided caffeine altogether, those who sipped less than 100mg a day reduced their risk for cardiometabolic diseases by 40%, while those who enjoyed moderate amounts saw their risk drop by nearly half.

Using a surrogate might take the pressure off Katie when it comes to carrying her next child, but fertility expert Patrick McClure tells Closer that Katie’s latest bout of surgeries could put her at risk during the ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval processes. ‘IVF is a strenuous process because it puts a great burden on the body, both physically and emotionally,’ he says. ‘Considering the strain that the body goes through with IVF, being in a relatively healthy state can help ensure maximum chances of success while minimising complications. In the case of Katie Price, who has undergone several cosmetic surgeries in a very short time, this becomes complicated.’ Patrick, who is the CEO of WINIT Clinic, says that the trauma caused to the body during surgery and while under…

When mum-of-four Pippa* found herself in the dock at her local magistrates’ court last summer – facing a possible three-month jail sentence – she couldn’t believe things had got that far. Her crime? Failing to get her daughter Chelsea, 16, to attend school. Pippa, who is unable to work due to health issues, insists that what she needed wasn’t a fine, a criminal record or the threat of prison time, but more support. ‘I understand that as a parent I’ve got to take some responsibility,’ says Pippa, 53. ‘But I didn’t want Chelsea to miss out on any of her education. After some bad luck as a family, things spiralled and I just didn’t know how to fix them.’ In 2023, there were 21,163 prosecutions and 18,061 convictions for truancy, with…

Back in July 2022, fans were gripped by one of the biggest ever celeb feuds as the spectacular libel case between Coleen Rooney, 38, and Rebecca Vardy, 42, reached the High Court. Coleen – dubbed ‘Wagatha Christie’ because of her expertlevel sleuthing – accused Rebekah, the wife of Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy, of leaking stories about her and her family to the press, a claim that was eventually found to be ‘substantially true’. Rebekah followed Coleen’s private Instagram account where Coleen frequently posted updates about her children — Kai, 14, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and six-year-old Cass. Coleen, whose husband Wayne Rooney recently began managing Plymouth Argyle F.C., came out triumphant in the trial, with a judge ordering Rebekah to cover 90% of Coleen’s legal fees. After her victory,…

Leanne O’Driscoll, 44, lives in Limerick, Ireland, with her partner Patrick and children. She says, ‘I applaud Coronation Street for highlighting the risks of going under the knife abroad, as I know all too well the potential life-changing consequences. In 2021, I flew to Turkey for a gastric sleeve operation – which removes 80% of the stomach to reduce food intake – and was left with internal bleeding, then sepsis. I almost lost my life. ‘My weight struggles began in 1999, after the birth of my first child. It really knocked my confidence and affected my mental health. All my thoughts were negative, and I believed everyone was judging me. I tried exercising and numerous diet plans, but nothing stuck. By 2021, I was 16st 10lbs and desperate for a…

I LOVE TO USE SCENTS AND PERFUMES TO PINPOINT CERTAIN MOMENTS IN MY LIFE… As a blind woman, scent is so important to me because I can’t sit and look at photographs, so I now use scents as memories. I have different scents that bring me back to certain times in my life. I like to have different scents everywhere I go to stimulate my senses. EVERY DAY I MAKE SURE I PUT ON A TINY BIT OF MAKE-UP… even if it’s just some CC cream, a bit of mascara and a lip oil. It just helps me feel put together. I PUT MY PHONE ON SLEEP MODE EVERY EVENING… I prefer to listen to audiobooks and relax without thinking about my phone before bed. It goes on sleep mode…

As the temperatures drop and the nights draw in, it’s easy to fall into a trap of neglecting ourselves and feeling low. But Suzy Reading, psychologist and author of new book, Self-care For Winter, says that with some simple self-care, you can get through the cold season feeling energetic and positive. She says, ‘Cold temperatures and fewer daylight hours can have a profound impact on how we think, feel and behave. Self-care is how we nourish ourselves to promote, protect or restore our emotional and physical health. It’s not just about fine-tuning our senses to seek out the season’s beauty, but also needing a host of tangible, supportive practices to help us maintain our commitments to healthy habits.’ • Self-Care For Winter by Suzy Reading, Aster, £16.99, hardback, Octopusbooks.co.uk, is…
