‘WILLIAM AND KATE WERE GENUINELY UPSET WHEN THE PICTURES EMERGED’ She's stood by her disgraced ex-husband, but it appears Sarah Ferguson is now setting her sights on finding a new man in the hope she can free herself from any association with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. According to insiders, Fergie wants to find herself a sugar daddy who can keep up with her ‘expensive taste’ – but daughter Beatrice is worried about the impact it could have on her scandal-ridden father. ‘Sarah's told her daughter and her inner circle that she's been devastated by recent events but she's never going to give up on love. She's been open about finding a proper gentleman to help her enjoy life – someone successful, kind and financially secure,’ a source tells Closer. ‘She's always…

It seems the most unexpected romantic relationship of the year has gone up a notch, as JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes are rumoured to be engaged. They've gone from strength to strength, and after only six months of dating, the couple have started teasing a sparkling announcement. They jetted off to the Bahamas – a romantic getaway which JoJo highlighted was organised by Chris. HOLIDAY FUN Daily photos of former Love Island star Chris, 32, and Dance Moms alumna JoJo, 22, enjoying the Sandals resort were shared across their Snapchat accounts, which showed them golfing, jet skiing and adopting a stray cat that found a home on their patio. But it wasn't long before fans started speculating that wedding bells could be ringing for the couple, after hints were dropped…

Taking on the I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! jungle is no easy feat for any celebrity, but sources reveal that Vogue Williams’ fears have been amplified due to concerns about life back at home. The TV presenter, 40, was billed as one of this year's obligatory latecomers alongside Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson, with the pair due to arrive in camp days after the initial wave of campmates. While Vogue prepares to tackle a whole new challenge in Australia, her husband, ex-Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, is taking on a gruelling challenge of his own. TERRIFIED The 37-year-old has embarked on a string of triathlons which will span three weeks – all while his wife is uncontactable. Insiders claim Vogue is terrified something could happen…

Pulling her little girl into a final, lingering hug at the airport in May 2022, Josy Pereira Do Nascimento told her daughter that she was going on holiday and would see her soon. What she didn't realise then was that her plan to give her daughter, Eloá, a better life would turn into a living nightmare – one that nearly cost her everything. Three short words – ‘Josy, come outside’ – were all that marked the start of the devastating knife attack in which Josy, who was a live-in maid, almost bled to death in a £20 million Chelsea townhouse last year. Uttered by the 26-year-old son of her wealthy employer last February, Josy assumed he wanted her to prepare him a meal. Instead, when she opened the door of…

MOVEMENT KEEPS MY MIND IN CHECK… Some people can meditate their way into calm, but I have to move first. I like to mix it up. One day it's tennis, yoga or Pilates, the next it's a Hyrox or CrossFit-style class. Running is my biggest mental reset though. I put on melodic trance music and zone out. PLAYTIME IS IMPORTANT TO ME… I game a lot – proper console gaming. I love zombie games; they're the best way to release tension after a busy day. SELF-CARE ISN'T ALWAYS PRETTY… My version of self-care isn't all candles and green juice; sometimes it's giving myself permission to be completely gross. I'll watch reality TV, ditch exercise and not tidy up. Apparently, that's called ‘rotting’, which I didn't even realise was a thing.…

Nearly nine million Brits take antidepressants, so this new report highlighting the negative side effects could be quite worrying for a lot of people. If you're one of them, please don't immediately stop taking your antidepressants – this could have a more significant impact on your health than any of the side effects. And if you're thinking about taking antidepressants, I don't want this new information to put you off. They really do help – and I should know; I took them for a while when I had depression and I felt so much better when I did. WHAT DID THE REPORT SAY? Researchers discovered that some antidepressants could make you gain weight, while others could make you lose it. They also found differences in heart rate and blood pressure,…

‘KATIE FEELS SHE'S FINALLY HAD THE LAST LAUGH’ After growing up in the glare of the spotlight she finally made her solo reality TV debut in August in The Princess Diaries. But as news of the the ITV2 show being renewed for a second and third series broke, it was revealed last week that Princess Andre has asked her father and stepmother – Peter and Emily Andre – to step back from their involvement in the programme. While Peter, 52, is said to be reeling from the move, Princess's decision is said to have delighted her mother, Katie Price. An insider tells Closer, ‘Katie's pals say she's absolutely revelling in it. She feels like she's finally had the last laugh. After years of feeling like Peter always got the ‘upper…

She may be happily married, but Tess Daly has apparently developed a secret crush on one of the current Strictly Come Dancing contestants. Insiders tell Closer that the 56-year-old presenter has a soft spot for Lewis Cope – as she believes he bears a striking resemblance to her husband of 22 years, Vernon Kay. CHEMISTRY Tess – who last month sensationally announced this series of the Saturday night entertainment show would be her last – met fellow presenter Vernon, 51, in 2001. The pair tied the knot two years later, and went on to have daughters Phoebe, 21, and 16-year-old Amber. And despite her strong marriage, the source says, ‘Tess has a bit of a crush on Lewis, telling pals he's like a hybrid of Vernon and Superman! And it's…

When Lexi Howell first started dating Edward in April 2024, instead of congratulations and happy smiles, their families were furious. The reason? Lexi was just 25 and Edward, a Vietnam war veteran, was 80. The massive 55-year age gap left loved ones in uproar, especially Edward's four stepchildren who'd he raised with his late wife, and are all in their forties and fifties. Lexi, now 27, says, ‘Edward admitted that his step-children were furious about our romance. He told me, “They're calling you a gold-digger and said I better lock my bank passwords. ” I was even accused of trying to get his children cut out of Edward's will. Members of his family started contacting me online too. One message I got said, “Don't think about poisoning him, I'll have…

She shot to fame in the 1990s as one of the UK's most iconic glamour models after winning a beauty contest at just 16. And Kelly Brook quickly became a fan favourite, gathering a loyal army of followers. In 2005, she was crowned FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World. Now, 20 years later, Kelly, 45 – who's married to Italian model Jeremy Parisi – feels ‘even sexier and more confident than her lads’ mag days’, according to a source close to the model. But she's determined not to be defined by her looks. A source says, ‘Kelly doesn't want to be the glamour girl this time – she wants to be taken seriously. She's happily married to Jeremy, proud of who she is, and has left that old image behind.’…

When Helen Morse's friend Paula introduced her daughter-in-law to-be, Charlotte, to their friendship group in 2020, Helen was delighted. Charlotte fitted in well and was soon joining her new friends on nights out and trips to the pub. So when Charlotte invited her new pals and their partners to the lavish destination wedding that she was planning, Helen didn't hesitate in saying yes and paid upfront. But later, when the wedding was cancelled, and with Charlotte not sorting out a refund, a suspicious Helen got in touch with the travel agent direct – and found out that the booking details were fake and that Charlotte had been scamming them for a fake wedding. Helen says, ‘In total, our group had paid her £12,682. She sat drinking with us, pretending to…

1 COVER UP As I've got older, I've come to realise that flashing the flesh isn't the only way to be sexy. Understated clothes just look so much chicer.

As one of the first female hosts of events such as the Olympics, Six Nations rugby and many major football tournaments, Gabby Logan has long been renowned as a pioneer for women in sport. She recently made history by becoming one of the few female presenters to become a main host on the BBC's flagship football coverage show, Match Of The Day, following Gary Lineker's shock exit. ‘It's been great. It's an iconic show,’ she tells Closer. ‘Hopefully people have settled down now and realised that the world keeps turning.’ She's made a name for herself as a TV and radio presenter and podcaster, but sport runs in Gabby's blood. Her father is former Wales footballer and manager Terry Yorath, who played for Leeds United, and she's married to retired…

Imagine holidaying with your famous mates, and every moment caught on camera. That's the idea behind this new series that sees the nation's best-loved stars set off together to visit European hotspots.

Dean and Barry are both such big personalities, so I knew it wasn't going to be a ‘relaxing’ holiday.…

SUNDAY 23 NOVEMBER, BBC1 You might think you followed the story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe at the time – the British-Iranian dual national was arrested at Tehran airport in 2016 and spent more than six years in prison accused of plotting to bring down the Iranian government – but this gripping drama still has surprises in store. American-German actress Narges Rashidi plays Nazanin and The Handmaid's Tale star Joseph Fiennes, her husband Richard, who campaigned tirelessly and even went on hunger strike, trying to secure her release when the British Government couldn't – or wouldn't. It's a shocking story of how an innocent woman became the victim of a decades-old dispute between the UK and Iran.…

So just who is Jasmine? It's been heavily signposted ever since her arrival on the Square that she has an ulterior motive for moving into the area, and her more-than-casual interest in Cindy suggests that she may be the reason. With her behaviour becoming increasingly suspicious, the Beale women decide to delve into her hidden past but when she finds out they've been talking to her mum, Jasmine sees red and shoves Cindy down the stairs! Oscar finds her unconscious, leaving the poor lad in a dilemma – will he report Jasmine's crime? While her mother-in-law is rushed to hospital, Lauren's busy investigating an experimental treatment for visually-impaired children in the hope that the initiative can help little Jimmy, but Ian thinks it's got scam written all over it.

She recently opened up about wanting baby number two with Tommy Fury, after they rekindled their relationship earlier this year. But while Molly-Mae Hague is feeling broody for another child, insiders tell Closer that the Love Islander-turned-reality star is torn over whether she's ready to welcome another baby. SIBLING BOND ‘Molly-Mae doesn't think that her family is “finished” yet, and she wants Bambi to have a sibling to share the same bond she has with her own older sister,’ the source says. ‘But it's also about where her head and heart is right now, more than it is about logic. With herself and Tommy still living separately and carefully trying to rebuild their relationship back to what it was, a baby right now doesn't make sense to her.’ It's been…

She may have joined Strictly Come Dancing at the very last minute, but Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin have proven to be a perfect pairing. The Love Island star, 29, was drafted onto the dance floor days before the series began, after Dani Dyer was forced to quit due to injury.

CONFIDENT West End performer Amber credits all her success in the ballroom to her professional dance partner, highlighting the strong bond the duo have built. ‘I don't think anyone has believed in me more than Nikita. He is so confident that I can be the best version of myself every…

Before heading down under, actress Lisa Riley admitted that she's hoping the meagre jungle diet will come with its silver lining. ‘Hopefully I am going to come out two stone lighter. The amount of people who have lost so much weight going in there – that won't do me any harm, will it, in this body-conscious world people are crazy about,’ she tells Closer. Taking part in I'm A Celebrity! also means it will be the longest she's been away from her fiancé, Al, which Lisa admits will be a challenge. ‘I'm going to miss him but he is over the moon that I am doing the show and he keeps endlessly winding me up about rats, which I'm scared of,’ she laughs. Still, she's reassured knowing he'll be nearby.…

How much do you spend? Because I'm out and about so much, I can spend up to £115 a week. If I'm home more, it's a lot less. I'm a total Tesco and M&S diva. I wish I was one of those people who did a proper weekly shop, but I'm always travelling around the UK and beyond for gigs and shows, so I'm never in all week and hate wasting food. Describe your daily diet… I always start my day with my supplements, a green juice with ginger and chia seeds, and a hot water with lemon, ginger, turmeric and cayenne pepper. Breakfast is usually two boiled eggs and a black coffee. For lunch, I'll have a protein shake, a salad and probably another black coffee or a Diet…

It's the most wonderful time of the year! But if the thought of friends and relatives seeing the dust on your sideboard is making you panic, fear not. ‘A thorough pre-Christmas clean will help you feel calm, prepared and proud to welcome visitors into your home,’ says Queen of Clean, Lynsey Crombie. To guide you through this process, the This Morning star offers her own tried-and-tested strategies for tackling clutter, refreshing key spaces and adding a touch of seasonal sparkle. WELCOME GUESTS IN STYLE ‘Don't neglect the entrance,’ urges Lynsey. ‘Sweep up leaves, remove dead plants or baskets and keep the path clear. A heavy-duty doormat will trap mud before it gets inside, and a shoe basket by the door makes your preference clear for guests to remove shoes without…

If you're having a pre-Christmas clear out to make room for new toys, you could make a few extra pennies (or more!) in the process to add to the ‘stocking fund’. Here are some of the best ways. • Building a LEGO set is super-fun, but if old builds are now gathering dust, you could be quids in. We Buy Bricks (webuybricks.co.uk) will give you an instant valuation on sets – even if parts are missing. Sellers make on average nearly £80, and a recent retired Star Wars set fetched £650. • If you have Playmobil, Sylvanian Families, Funko Pops or branded plush toys (Build-a-Bear, Pokemon, etc) to offload, try toy-exchange.co.uk. They accept a whole host of toys, so it's worth a look next time you have a clear out.…

It's only four weeks until the series’ grand final, and the celebrities will have to do all they can to stay in the competition – in front of a capacity crowd. Judge Anton Du Beke, who's danced there himself for Strictly, says, ‘It gives you an extra boost – it's a moment that you can work towards. When you start the show, the final seems a long way off. You need these landmarks – like movie week and Halloween – and then Blackpool is the big one! It feels like the big final, and it is for somebody!’…
