Following rife speculation their break-up was a publicity stunt, fans are now convinced Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury are back together after their shock split last year. Molly-Mae blindsided fans back in August when she announced that she and Tommy, both 25, had parted ways five years after meeting on Love Island. But eagle-eyed followers recently noticed the pair may have spent Valentine's Day together after boxer Tommy shared a photo of himself and their two-year-old daughter Bambi holding hands as they walked through a car park – with a car the same model as Molly-Mae's spotted in the background. Adding fuel to the rumours, Tommy cryptically captioned the post, 'Life's been looking up.' And an insider tells Closer that as well as thrilling fans with speculation around a reunion,…

Growing up with adoptive parents, Taylor-Jane Wedge often wondered what became of the woman who'd given her up at just six months old. Then, incredibly, 22 years later, in 2022, a chance encounter led Taylor-Jane to her biological mother, Mandy O'Brien. But unbeknownst to her daughter, Mandy was hiding a secret – years before, she'd dated Taylor-Jane's fiancé, Dave Shaw.

For fans who have always admired David and Victoria Beckham but felt that emulating their luxury lifestyle was out of reach, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash could hold the solution.

Tune in to Closer's pick of the telly everyone's talking about How did Caroline (Waldegrave) get on with the gang? Really well. Initially, there were nerves. You're dealing with Alison, who's like a bouncing ball, Noel, who's been around since medieval times, and me, who's been here since the year dot. It's quite daunting, but Caroline's knowledge is unsurpassable. Within the first few hours, she'd settled right in. Can you tell us about this year's series? I was quite impressed. Sometimes, when we do this show, we're knackered from having filmed the main series, but I felt energised with this series because the people were so friendly, chatty and funny. Even the non-comedians were funny. Is the celebrity series even more light-hearted than the main show? I have a lot…
