She was an unforgettable bombshell in 2018, famously turning Josh Denzel's head before they finished in third place. But Love Island: All Stars will be ‘so different’ for Kaz Crossley, as she tells Closer she intends to play the game more. She says, ‘In Casa Amor, I partnered up with Josh and we were so happy. It was just me and him all the way to the end. This time, I'm going to be chatting, getting to know people, doing challenges and kissing loads of boys.’ When it comes to her ideal fellow islanders, Kaz – who turns 30 this month – isn't looking for anyone in particular, but has no qualms voicing her admiration for a fan favourite. She reveals, ‘Ovie [Soko from series five] has always been the…

Series three star Gabby Allen was unaware that her ex-boyfriend Marcel Somerville is in the line-up when she chatted to Closer, but she admitted she has considered the possibility. The fitness influencer, 32 – who had been dating Marcel for a year when he reportedly cheated on her during a romantic holiday in 2018 – says, ‘I would like to have a conversation with him, hopefully put it behind us and have some sort of friendship.’ So, is a rekindled romance on the cards? She adds, ‘I haven't seen him for six years, so I don't know how I'm going to feel when I actually see him.’…

• Beforehand, go through a year's bank statements to assess your current spending and cancel unused subscriptions. • Pick a meaningful date to start: Starting on 1 January felt symbolic and allowed me to see if I could do it for a full year. • Get used to carrying a big bag, so you can have water, a book, coffee, a jacket – anything that you might be tempted to buy while out and about – with you. • Tell others what you're doing. With the cost-of-living crisis, I think a lot of friends have been quite glad I'm doing this. Thanks to TikTok, I've also got followers holding me accountable. • Be kind to yourself. My weight fluctuated in the summer, so I did buy one new outfit for…

She is said to be eyeing up a move to Dubai this year with her children, Kairo and Kinara, as Closer previously reported. But while Lauryn Goodman is gearing up for a change of scenery, there is one part of her life that she intends to keep stagnant. SCARRED An insider close to the mum-oftwo – who celebrates her 34th birthday this month – says, ‘Lauryn has been celibate for just over a year now. It's not uncommon for her, as she did the same after having Kairo. She has recently returned to [dating app] Raya as she used to have it a few years ago, but she dips in and out and doesn't take it seriously. Lauryn does get quite a lot of attention – and from some big…

Despite being partnered with Vanessa Bauer – who has been in every single final of DOI since joining the show in 2018 – Love Island‘s Chris Taylor feels motivated and not pressured by their partnership. Chris, 34, says, ‘Obviously, I know she's good at skating and dancing and combining the two effectively, but I didn't realise how successful she is. That's the main thing that motivates me to get up at 5am every day and do 45 minutes of stretching until I can bend myself into pretzel format. As a result of the early starts, my bedtime has got ridiculously early as well.’…

Things are finally starting to look up for Holly Willoughby after a torrid couple of years at the centre of some huge dramas that drove her to crisis point. In 2023, she was caught up in a fallout with her former This Morning co-host and best friend Phillip Schofield, who left the ITV show following an affair with a younger male colleague. Months later, Holly stepped down herself after it was revealed she had been the subject of a horrifying kidnap and murder plot, keeping a low profile until security guard Gavin Plumb was sentenced to life in prison last July. But Holly, 43, has welcomed 2025 with open arms with a new £8million house and plenty of career opportunities to boot. This year also marks 20 years since she…

As well as romantic connections with Amy Hart and Maura Higgins, Curtis Pritchard also forged a firm friendship with Tommy Fury in the villa in 2019. Amid rumours that the boxer has now rekindled his romance with Molly-Mae Hague after their split last summer, Curtis, 28, says, ‘I would love to see Tommy come back in, but I highly doubt that.’ Five years ago, the dancer went viral for his iconic ‘making everyone coffees in the morning’ line, and now he says, ‘I think the coffees will still be happening. But I never intended to be a “dad role” – I'm focusing on the ladies!’…

This time, hopefully I swerve the triangles, find the one straight away, fall in love and [live] happily ever after.’ He adds, ‘But I'll always be me – bringing laughter and jokes to everyone.

Lily Allen has announced she is taking a threeweek break from her hit podcast Miss Me? in the wake of her reported split from husband David Harbour. Although the pair are yet to publicly confirm their separation, Lily, 39, is said to have been ‘devastated’ to find David, 49, had being using celebrity dating app Raya – on which they met in 2019 – for ‘at least a month’. Speaking during last week's episode of the podcast, which she hosts with best friend Miquita Oliver, Not Fair hitmaker Lily seemed to confirm the break-up after stumbling over the word ‘husband’ and telling Miquita, ‘I'm finding it hard to be interested in anything, I'm really not in a good place. ‘I know I've been talking about it for months, but I've…

Kylie Jenner once again attended the Golden Globe Awards alongside her actor boyfriend Timothée Chalamet last week – but she's been the hot topic of online gossip for a different reason. The 27-year-old has sparked speculation that she's pregnant with her third child, and her first with Timothée, 29. SECRECY Kylie shared a TikTok last month alongside her six-yearold daughter Stormi and sister Kim Kardashian's daughter Chicago, also six, but spent the entirety of the video with a large bag covering her stomach – something which many fans believe is a giveaway that she's expecting Timothée's baby. If true, it would follow tradition for the youngest member of the KardashianJenner clan, who has kept both of her previous pregnancies – with children she shares with her rapper ex Travis Scott…

He isn't afraid of treating his fans to a topless gym selfie on Instagram, but TOWIE‘s Dan Edgar admits that his DOI wardrobe has been tricky to get his head around. The 34 year old tells Closer, ‘When they gave me the seethrough, low-cut vest I wasn't overly sure, but I'm embracing it. It's part and parcel of the show I suppose, so I feel like I've got to just go with it. Honestly, the sequins and mesh tops are more out of my comfort zone than the skating!’ And as well as putting his muscles on show in some risqué outfits, Dan and his professional partner Vanessa James admit they've already nailed some big lifts and dangerous moves on the ice. ‘We've got quite a big lift in our…

Sam Thompson and Zara McDermott shocked fans when news emerged of their split earlier this month. And while the former couple, who were together for five years before splitting last month, have remained quiet about their break-up, last week Sam, 32, opened up on his Staying Relevant podcast alongside pal Pete Wicks, telling the Essex heartthrob about his ‘incredible’ year – with no mention of former Love Islander Zara, 28. BEST BEHAVIOUR Now, sources say that newly loved-up Pete – who is believed to be dating Maura Higgins – is determined to be a shoulder to cry on for Sam, and act as his wingman on nights out when he's ready to move on. An insider says, ‘They both love a good night out and Pete will still be Sam's…

How much do you spend? About £100 per week. I mix it up between Waitrose, farmers’ shops and the butchers – I like to support local because the quality of food is so much better. I find supermarket fruit goes off in 48 hours. I also order a Riverford veg box for seasonable produce. Describe your daily diet… I have fresh lemon and ginger with hot tea first thing, I feel like it boosts my immune system. Mid-morning, I'll have a smoothie with flaxseeds, chia seeds, frozen berries, banana and kefir, followed by a Cheerful Buddha Lion's Mane coffee. Lunch lately has been soups, either carrot and coriander, or a good old tomato soup with a cheese toastie. For dinner I make chicken or steak using lots of spices, like…

The headlines about an increase in bowel cancer in younger people sound scary, but it also shows that we're getting better at detecting it. There are campaigns, celebrities have spoken out, toilet paper packaging has info on what to look for, and that's all helping. That having been said, as obesity rises and global diets get poorer, people's risk of getting bowel cancer will go up. England is one the countries with the biggest rise, averaging a 3.6% increase per year. That isn't huge, but it's not good either. When you look at the research though, 14 of the 27 countries involved showed either stable or decreasing cases of bowel cancer in older adults – including in England and Scotland. Overall, I think this research shows we're detecting more of…

Respected Hollywood publication Variety named the presenter, 49, as one of their ‘30 Most Powerful Women on Reality TV’ – and sources tell Closer that Alison is determined to make 2025 her most incredible year yet.

But it appears there's no love lost between Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, as sources tell Closer that her upcoming appearance on All Stars – where she's expected to appear as a bombshell – has left her ex fuming. An insider reveals, ‘Davide is absolutely furious about Ekin-Su's decision to join Love Island: All Stars. He feels like it's a slap in the face, especially since he turned down the opportunity himself because it didn't feel right. ‘They're no longer together but this has still hit a nerve for Davide. He feels like Ekin-Su’ decision shows a complete lack of emotional empathy; not just for him, but for everything they went…

Towards the end of 2023, Mia Westrap found herself having sleepless nights about her finances. Although not in serious debt, with no savings, Mia, a part-time PhD student and health and social care worker from Southampton, constantly worried about how she'd cope with an unforeseen emergency. ‘I grew up in poverty,’ says Mia, 26. ‘Mum was a single parent of three. Aged 18, I blew my student loan because I had no idea what I was doing in terms of personal finance. Then, throughout my early adult years, I'd always end up in my overdraft at the end of every month. I was sick and tired of the anxiety of constantly wondering, “If an emergency came up today, how would I manage it?” That's what prompted me to do a…

When Naomi Swartzentruber was just eight years old, she began to question the way her family lived. Belonging to one of the most conservative subgroups of the Amish, a Protestant Christian group known for their conservative and modest lifestyle, life for Naomi was miles away from how most children grew up. MODEST As she hit her teens, Naomi would hear about the more liberal lives of her peers, and her curiosity took over. After a stint of rebellious acts, when she was 17 Naomi ran away from her parents. She ended up working at a strip club as a dancer, a far cry from her youth on the Amish farm – and later settled down with a partner. Naomi says, ‘I was proud that I created a life of peace…

Zendaya fans were left scrambling last week as they tried to decipher if Hollywood's coolest couple are planning to tie the knot – which would make them the very first legendary Spiderman characters Peter Parker and Mary-Jane to reach that step. Last week, Zendaya, 28, walked the Golden Globes red carpet, and as per usual she wasn't joined by her famous beau, Tom Holland. Tom, 28, recently stated that he never accompanies his girlfriend on red carpets to ensure she gets her time in the spotlight. Although he didn't make an appearance, his name was still on everyone's lips thanks to Zendaya's surprising choice of jewellery – namely a huge rock on a very special finger. Zendaya and Tom have been quietly dating since 2021 after meeting on the set…

Sadly actress Chelsee Healey's DOI journey hasn't been smooth-sailing, and the 36-yearold admits that a dramatic fall during one of her first training sessions with partner Andy Buchanan really knocked her confidence. ‘I fell backwards while I was doing a twist and landed on my coccyx and fainted.

I WORK OUT FIVE TO SIX TIMES A WEEK… because if I haven't moved my body, I don't feel accomplished. My routine is a mixture of cardio, strength training and conditioning. I mix up going to the gym with classes to switch things up, and classes force me to push harder. SPENDING TIME WITH MY DOG IS SO IMPORTANT… I always get outside with her for a good walk.
