This issue, we're diving headfirst into the complicated world of exes – because, whether we like it or not, almost all of us have one, and they have a habit of lingering long after the final goodbye. On page 12, Katie Price's new husband, Lee Andrews, is struggling to come to terms with her close bond with Peter Andre. While their relationship is strictly platonic, Katie has famously called Pete the ‘love of her life’, and with children Junior and Princess to consider, he remains a constant presence. It's no wonder tensions are rising. Meanwhile, there's a more emotional story unfolding for Eamonn Holmes. Following his recent stroke, his divorce from Ruth Langsford is nearing its conclusion – but after decades together, walking away isn't so simple. Turn to page 10…

‘Chloe's very understanding – things are going well’ After first joining the show back in 2015, Dan Edgar is no stranger to the drama. Speaking on facing ex Ella Rae Wise in Vietnam, Dan tells us, ‘The stuff with Ella is a lot more recent, so naturally, it's not ideal being away with your ex. It came to light that she was still quite upset about a lot of stuff. It's not nice, I don't like seeing anyone upset. It was a tough situation to be in. ‘I'm with someone else now and to be out there and see someone else upset and still trying to manage a friendship. It was all new ground to try and navigate. It's obviously never easy, but we've been trying to manage it the…

Freddy Brazier has reportedly walked out on girlfriend Holly Swinburn just a month after they welcomed daughter Isla Jade. The pair – who have been in an on/off relationship since June – became embroiled in a row after Holly, 22, refused to let his grandmother, Jackiey Budden, 69, meet her great-grandaughter. A source says, ‘Freddy has flown to Gran Canaria on holiday with a friend of his nan's. It's a bitter blow for Holly after their row and shows he's doubled down.’ Jackiey – mum of the late Jade Goody – has long been estranged from the Braziers, despite Freddy, 21, remaining close to her.…

They recently confirmed they'd put an end to their years-long feud – and earlier this month, Peter Andre opened up about his phone calls to ex-wife Katie Price. But while it's clear there's nothing romantic between the singer and his glamour model ex – who share children Junior, 20, and Princess, 18 – insiders tell Closer that their communication has caused ructions with Katie's new husband, Lee Andrews. The source says, ‘Katie and Peter have quietly been back in touch more than people realise. Everything's focused around the kids, but Lee isn't comfortable with how much contact there is, especially as it's now out in the open. He was quite furious about it and accused her of being obsessed with Pete. ‘Friends say Lee's scared Pete will help Katie see…

In a surprisingly low-key ceremony at London's Marylebone Town Hall, Amy Childs finally married her long-term beau Billy Delbosq earlier this month. But their decision to invite only a handful of guests has apparently gone down badly with her TOWIE co-stars who are fuming, insiders tell Closer. ‘She's had a lot of backlash from some of her TOWIE co-stars since the pictures came out in the press. The only TOWIE pal who knew about the wedding was Harry [Derbidge], which didn't go down well at all with the other cast. But Amy and Bill wanted it to be private,’ a source tells us. However, our insider says Amy is planning a bigger second wedding for later this year, which will have a much longer guest list. ‘They're having a huge…

When Emily Mai found out she was pregnant in 2020, she worried it would harm her career. As a content creator on OnlyFans, she earned a fortune from posting saucy pictures and videos. But to her surprise, her growing bump actually made her triple the amount. And even after she gave birth, the money continued to roll in. Emily started making thousands from her breast milk, with men unusually requesting videos of her with milk dripping from her breasts or squirting it across the screen. Emily, 34, says, ‘I had no idea there was such a high demand for pregnancy content. Before I was expecting, I was making between £750 and £3,000 a month on the site. But during pregnancy that shot up to between £20,000 to £34,000 a month!…

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly grown close to her Office Romance co-star Brett Goldstein, with insiders claiming romance rumours have been swirling on set. ‘It was an open secret during filming about Brett and J.Lo,’ a source says. ‘They got on like a house on fire from the start and the chemistry was electric, which viewers will see… They were very touchy-feely and always laughing, and everyone suspected they were hooking up.’ The Netflix romcom – which is set for release in June – comes two years after Jennifer's divorce from actor Ben Affleck, 53. J.Lo, 56, who shares 18-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, was first engaged to Ben in 2002 before they called off their wedding in 2004. The pair rekindled their relationship and married in…

Fed up with the non-stop chaos of motherhood and the daily grind, mum-of-six Amanda Moss walked out on her marriage – and her children. Amanda, 53, made the leap in May 2020, and settled in Cyprus. Deciding she wanted to love her life ‘with truth’, Amanda completely transformed herself –losing 4 stone after changing her diet and experimenting with treatments such as Botox. Her children – Saxon, 24, Honey, 23, Floyd, 21, Albany, 19, plus her 16-year-old and 11-yearold daughters – all remain in the UK, but frequently fly out to see her during school holidays. Speaking about her old life, Amanda says, ‘I was miserable. I used to think, “Is this my life?” Then the pandemic hit and, when restrictions eased, I left. ‘I know people will judge me,…

How much do you spend? Around £150 per week, mainly because Tom eats enough for three people! We like to shop at our local Tesco and M&S. Describe your daily diet… I usually start the day with a black coffee and a banana before the gym, as I'm not a big breakfast person. Lunch tends to be simple and satisfying sourdough topped with avocado and eggs, finished with a drizzle of sriracha. Dinner is typically something light but nourishing, like chicken or fish with plenty of vegetables. Tom also kicks off his morning with a coffee before his workout. Afterwards, he goes bigger on brunch: two bagel thins loaded with scrambled eggs, turkey rashers and turkey sausages. During the day he'll snack on tuna wraps or blend up a protein…

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPIC OF THE WEEK The war in Iran has led to a UK shortage of aspirin. Nearly 90% of pharmacies can't fulfil aspirin requests, which is a worry because lots of people are prescribed aspirin to take regularly. Some people know it as a pill that's in the cupboard when you've got a headache or a hangover, but it's also an antiplatelet agent, so if you have a tendency to clot too much – which leads to heart attacks and strokes – taking regular aspirin helps reduce the risk of that happening. It's widely used – by people with diabetes, as well as those with kidney disease, heart conditions and high blood pressure. And it's not only older adults; many younger…

But behind the scenes, sources tell Closer that Cruz's revelation has plunged her further into despair, as she tries to promote a rock-solid family image while battling to keep everyone on the same page – sparking tension with David. ‘Victoria is absolutely in…

She's faced a bitter backlash in recent weeks after it emerged that she asked a bakery for a free cake for her son's birthday in return for social media coverage. Now, Closer can reveal former Made In Chelsea star Binky Felstead has been left stunned by how the situation has snowballed – and insiders say she's already losing work. WEDDING GIFT ‘She didn't expect it to turn into such a talking point,’ a source says. ‘She's feeling so exposed, like something that felt normal within her world has suddenly been picked apart publicly. She's losing work over this. A lot of brands have been turned off and it's really knocked her.’ Binky, 35, was thrown into the spotlight after being accused by a bakery of trying to bag a free…

Many supermarkets and high-street bakers now offer ‘surprise bags’, often available near closing time and containing perishable items like pastries, muffins and sandwiches which are nearing the end of their shelf life for a bargain price. Surplus food marketplace app Too Good To Go has shared some useful tips on how you can stretch the contents to transform them into hearty meals. A croissant can be restyled as a savoury ‘croissandwich’ with egg, cheese and spinach, or filled with feta, olives and chicken for a more substantial lunch. Bulk out sandwiches or baked goods with fibre by pairing with a simple side salad to make the meal more filling. And muffins or cookies can be sliced and shared, paired with fruit or yogurt, or turned into low-cost family desserts. THE…
