Closer的Issue 1074目录

‘KATE WANTS THE FAMILY TO REWRITE THE RULES’ He returned to the UK for the first time in three months last week, but Prince Harry was met with a wall of silence from his family, who he hasn't come face-to-face with since his appearance at King Charles’ coronation in May. And while Harry, 38, made an appearance at the Wellchild Awards, a source says Kate Middleton has been left seething behind closed doors. Earlier this year a source had told Closer that Kate had extended an olive branch to Harry and that the pair had been staying in touch. But a source reveals how Harry's recent admission that he had “no one” to turn to when dealing with the trauma of his mother Princess Dianas death has left Kate feeling…

VANESSA'S DAUG HTER ON CGD BACKLASH NEWS Feisty, incredibly smart and straight talking, Vanessa Feltz has been a divisive character throughout her three decades in the spotlight. But recently the radio and TV presenter, 61, has sparked criticism for her behaviour on C4's Celebs Go Dating, which has seen her accused of snapping at the dating show's agents, Anna Williamson and Paul Carrick Brunson, and belittling her dates by ignoring them or mocking their jobs. UNFAIRLY PORTRAYED While Vanessa, 61, has lashed out, saying, “I didn't join this process to be assassinated by the agents”, some viewers have hit back, calling the mum-of-two “arrogant” and “rude”. One posted, “Vanessa has been carried away with her self-importance”, while another added, “I found her very arrogant, rude and not interested in dating anyone”. But…

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have called it quits - with the singer reportedly filing for divorce and describing their marriage as “irretrievably broken”. Eagle-eyed fans first noted that the Jonas Brothers star had appeared without his wedding ring on multiple occasions, and the pair sold their Miami family home earlier this summer. And just last week, Game Of Thrones star Sophie confirmed that the pair had gone their separate ways, writing, “After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why, but truly this is a united decision.” The US singer, 34, first met Brit Sophie, 27, through mutual friends in 2016, and they eloped in Las Vegas three years later before hosting a lavish wedding…

His split from Helen appears to have been very amicable, with the actress speaking highly of Scott Sinclair on TikTok. She said, “He was like my ‘One’. I remember when we first got together, I was so in love with him. He was like the best thing that ever happened to me really because he was just like, my life. We had a really nice relationship. It was really special. And obviously, we had three children together.” But it seems Scott, 34, has already been moving on, as reports have claimed he's slid into the Instagram DMs of former model Lottie Moss and ex-Love Islander Chloe Burrows, both of whom are starring in this series of Celebs Go Dating. A source alleged that the footballer reached out to Lottie a…

Love Island star Amy Hart has announced her engagement to Sam Rason, five months after the pair welcomed their first child. Sharing romantic snaps of their cruise ship proposal on Instagram - with Sam getting on stage to pop the question - Amy, 31, described the news as “well and truly the biggest surprise ever”. Amy - who went public with her relationship back in August 2021 - met Sam, 33, on the dating app Bumble, going on to welcome their son Stanley in March. She found fame on Love Island in 2019, where she struck up a relationship with Curtis Pritchard, 27, before making the decision to leave the show early after the dancer called off their romance.…

She's days away from welcoming her second baby - just over a year after the arrival of her first - and singer Alexandra Burke readily admits she began planning this pregnancy within hours of finishing labour. Alexandra, 35, laughs as she tells Closer, “I love being pregnant. Immediately after I gave birth the first time, I said to my midwife, ‘I want to be pregnant again!’ She said it was something she'd never heard before so soon after giving birth, I hadn't even left the hospital!” EXCITEMENT The star, who rose to fame in 2008 after winning The X Factor, and her boyfriend, Darren Randolph, 36, a Bournemouth FC goalkeeper, announced they were expecting again in April, just nine months after first becoming parents following a two-year romance. But Alexandra,…

Life balance WELLBEING RELATIONSHIPS YOUR GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL ISSUES & FAMILY LIFE WITH COUNSELLOR, PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND LIFE COACH ANNA WILLIAMSON Even though you might recognise that a former relationship was no longer viable, you once shared a life, and it can be difficult to see your ex doing that with someone else - particularly a friend. It can make you doubt yourself, wondering why you feel likethisand questioning if you made the right decision. That's normal because you're being reminded of what you used to have. We also have a tendency to romanticise old relationships and can find ourselves imagining what our ex and their new partner are getting up to. PROCESS IT Manage your feelings discreetly - calling out your ex and their new partner won't serve you well. They are…

TV PRESENTER DAVINA MCCALL, 55, ON HOW SHE LOOKS AFTER HER BODY AND MIND EXERCISE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE… If someone asks me for the number one thing they could do if they're not feeling great, I always say exercise. You can do it anywhere, without equipment and there are plenty of free videos on YouTube. I do three or four workouts a week, with lots of strength training, cardio and body weights. It's all about building strength. I TRY TO WAKE AND SLEEP AT A SIMILAR TIME EACH DAY… I've used Loop earplugs and they were amazing. I do use my phone in bed sometimes and find it sparks up my brain, which isn't great. Don't use your bedroom as a place of activity, but rather a place for…

1 MY FAVOURITE PRODUCT FROM THE RANGE IS… The Lovemore X Mosti Mabuse dry oil. You can add it to another product, like your foundation, or apply to hair. I use it as a highlighter for extra glow. 2 A PRODUCT I COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT IS… There are two - I always have SPF and a lip balm.

A ny reservations about coming back? JACKIE, 67: No! ALAN, 66: I did. But that lasted for about two seconds - it might have been three! I rang Jackie straight afterwards and pretended I was just calling to say hi. Was it hard to keep quiet? ALAN: Yeah, I didn't even tell my wife, because she's a journalist! JACKIE: They were a long few days, weren't they? How did it feel to be filming again after a year away? ALAN: When I first walked into the building, there were all these new faces in the crew. It changes the dynamic because you've got to prove yourself again and you're thinking, “Do I know what I'm doing?” It makes you panic! JACKIE: I found it a bit emotional, actually. It felt a…

Despite her dazzling appearance at the National Television Awards in London last week, Holly Willoughby was hit with more criticism after being booed by fans as This Morning failed to win anything for the first time in 12 years. And while she's been putting on a brave face over the past few months as she attempts to salvage her reputation, Holly, 42, admitted to Closer that it's been “difficult”. She said backstage at the NTAs, “If I'm really honest, it's been up and down, you know. I think it's been a really difficult year for everybody.” CHANGING TIMES Holly - who left the awards bash arm-in-arm with husband Dan Baldwin - has previously revealed, “Support is everything in mine and Dan's relationship,” adding, “Family comes before everything”. And now insiders…

when Australian Adam Hooper came to the UK at the end of August, he was determined to make the most of it - sightseeing and going on pub crawls, travelling from Bristol to Edinburgh and Cardiff. But Adam, who works in the gas and oil industry, had another purpose too - to help women get pregnant, dubbing his visit the “Sperm Donation UK Tour” - complete with stickers and keyrings. In total, by the time he leaves at the end of September, he will hopefully have helped 10 women fulfil their dream of motherhood. In the first week alone, he's donated to five women - one in Bristol, another in Bath, and couples from Brighton and London. Adam - who doesn't charge a fee for his services - meets up…

AMANDA: ‘My son is going to vote for Zara instead of me!’ As an actress starring in shows such as Sherlock and Mr Selfridge as well as on stage, Amanda Abbington is used to having an audience, but she's still nervous to take to the dance floor for the first live show. She says, “I have low-level panic, anxiety and low selfesteem, so one of the reasons that I signed up to Strictly was to give myself some confidence I love dancing in the privacy of my home, but doing it publicly is frightening the life out of me. “I'm not worried about the judges’ comments, I'm worried about falling over. I don't want to make my partner feel like he regrets his entire career!” It likely doesn't help that…

INTERVIEW BILLIE AND GREG: ‘Nelly helps us with the baby!’ Since 2016, they have allowed cameras inside their home to capture the highs and lows of family life. And Billie and Greg Shepherd tell Closer on the NTAs red carpet that filming Family Diaries - which is currently underway for series five - has become a natural part of their lives. Greg, 38, explains that their three children - Nelly, nine, Arthur, six, and nine-monthold Margot - will factor in their decision to keep the show going, saying, “We are playing it by ear, not so much for us, but the kids, to see if they're still enjoying it. But [Family Diaries] is part and parcel now - we just juggle life.” Former TOWIE star Billie, 33, also shed light…

Every time Georgia Barber opened her front door, shed smile as her very excitable goldendoodle dog, Pepper, rushed towards her. But Georgia knew there was someone else that Pepper was even more eager to greet - her one-year-old son, Bobby. Even since Bobby's birth, he and Pepper had the most beautiful, unbreakable bond and Pepper became their rock when little Bobby was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, or RMS - a type of cancer that affects the muscles attached to the bone. But throughout his battle, Bobby remained the happy little boy he always was, dancing to his favourite songs and seeing his beloved Pepper on FaceTime when they were apart. But heartbreakingly, at just two years old, Bobby passed away. Georgia says, “My heart has been shattered into a million pieces.…

Ellie Goulding has reportedly ended things with former MP Zac Goldsmith, as she rekindles her marriage to Caspar Jopling. The Burn singer was first linked to Tory peer Zac, 48, after meeting at the COP26 Climate Change Conference in Glasgow back in 2021. It was said Ellie, 36, bonded with the millionaire over their relationship splits - with Ellie and Caspar, 31, reportedly taking a break earlier this year, and Zac separating from his wife back in March. The two had been spotted on multiple occasions, but now sources have insisted their “close friendship” has ended. A source says, “Their relationship had nothing to do with the breakdown of either marriage, but Ellie wants to fix things for the sake of their son, and Zac is concentrating on his environmental…

When Evelyn Davis and her husband Elijali vowed to love one another in sickness and in health, they never would have anticipated the heartache that would unfold in their first year of married life. After attending a concert in June 2022, Evelyn, 23, was rushed to hospital where she was horrified to learn that she had pneumonia and sepsis - which doctors believe she contracted at the gig. Tragically, she fell into a coma and had to have all of her limbs amputated. But she was determined to prove her pessimistic doctor wrong and, after three months of intense therapy, Evelyn learned to walk again on her prosthetic legs. She now has bionic arms and is adamant the adversity she endured will not hold her back. She says, “At one…

FAMILY MATTERS I'd encourage parents to use this news story as a talking point with children. When Luis Rubiales kissed Spanish footballer Jenni Hermoso, he crossed a boundary. Jenni said that it wasn't a kiss she consented to, and that she didn't like it. What's important here is not whether he did or didn't do wrong, it's how she felt - Luis breached her personal boundaries. Consent means having autonomy for our body and our wishes and communicating those. Asking for consent takes away any entitlement that anybody might feel they have over you or your body. Teach your children that their body belongs to them and who they want to kiss and hug is up to them to decide. Often family members and friends will want to hug and…

w hy did you want to explore this subject? I've presented shows about weight loss for years and written two books on the subject - this is a natural subject area for me. The semaglutide (and liraglutide) drugs were initially licensed for treating people with Type 2 diabetes, but the message has spread like wildfire across social media that it's a silver bullet for anyone wishing to shed a few pounds quickly and easily, endorsed by celebrities. How familiar were you with the “skinny jab”? I have diabetes on both sides of my family and a history of high blood sugar. I was curious to know whether I might be a candidate for taking one of these drugs, so I'd been doing my own research into the subject, fuelled by media…

He made a series of explosive claims about his ex-girlfriend, Kelly Brook, last week - accusing her of cheating on her then-boyfriend, Thom Evans, with him on a secret holiday together. Former rugby ace, Danny Cipriani, 35 - who dated the former Big Breakfast host between 2008 and 2010 revealed his “devastation” when Kelly, 43, went on to date his 38-year-old teammate and friend Thom, just four months after their split. SECRET TRYST In his new bombshell memoir, the former playboy said he made it his mission to meet up with Kelly - who's now married to French model, Jeremy Parisi, 38 - behind his pal's back Despite admitting “deep down I know it was wrong”, he revealed how they secretly met in Mauritius shortly after she tragically miscarried her…

They're one of the most famous, yet private, Hollywood celebrity couples - but last week, George and Amal Clooney showed off their love to the world. The famous pair stepped out at the Venice Film Festival, using the occasion as the perfect excuse for some sweet date nights - with the duo also photographed hand-in-hand as Amal picked up her leadership prize from the DVF Awards. And now insiders say George, 62, and Amal, 45 - who married in September 2014 - are so loved up that they're gearing up to renew their vows ahead of their 10 th wedding anniversary. The source says, “The original plan was to do this next year when they'll have a decade under their belt, but now they don't want to wait that long.…

Proudly showing off her body in the wake of her split from fiancé Scott Sinclair, Helen Flanagan has shared a slew of hot underwear and bikini snaps with her million followers. And insiders say that despite the 33-year-old mum-of-three feeling more confident than ever, she's grappling over whether to join lucrative subscription platform OnlyFans to reveal more of her smouldering selfies. A source says, “Helen's really torn about whether to sign up. She's been told by so many people that she could make an absolute fortune on OnlyFans. Although she's attracted by that idea, she is also wary of the stigma that comes from being on the platform among some people. She feels like she's at a bit of a crossroads in her life right now as she's not yet…

She's been praised as a hero for the resilience, devotion and love she has shown since her husband Derek Draper's Covid diagnosis in 2020, but it's clear that after three years of caring for him, Kate Garraway is feeling the strain. ROLLER COASTER Last week, at the NTAs, the GMB and radio presenter, 56, revealed that she and her family - Derek, and their two children, Darcey, 17, and Billy, 14 - were “ploughing on” through Derek's on-going health battle. Kate also revealed how their summer had been affected by a horrible experience that Derek, 56, suffered at Heathrow on the way home from a medical trip when he ended up stuck in the airport's new disabled passport-check system when it failed to work. And now a source says that…

There are now so many dating shows on TV that it's hard to keep up, but one that always delivers is Celebs Go Dating - and the latest series is quite possibly the best ever. I have to applaud Lottie Moss, who got involved with serial dater Adam Coilard only to get upset when it appeared he'd led her on and initially chose to date his ex instead of her. My heart broke for her - pretty much all of us have been in a similar romantic situation, where you thought things were going one way but misread the signs and they were actually seeing other people. But the key lesson here was Lottie's later response. She established some very clear boundaries, telling Adam she wasn't going to continue to…

Coffee can give you more than a buzz - once you've drunk your brew, you can use the grounds again to save cash… • FACE SCRUB It's a natural way to exfoliate and help remove dead skin and could reduce puffiness. Just mix three tablespoons of coffee for every two tablespoons of olive oil. • FRIDGE FRESHENER Used coffee grounds emit nitrogen into the air, which can neutralise sulphur-based odours. Add dry, used coffee grounds to a small bowl and leave it in your fridge to combat any smells. You can also scrub your hands with used grounds to get the smell of garlic off after cooking. • MEAT RUB Coffee grounds can marinate and tenderise meat. Dry out the used coffee and add spices like salt, pepper and thyme,…
