She was all smiles at Variety's 'Power Of Women gala last week, announcing that they were working on 'exciting new projects', but royal experts blasted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - accusing them of turning King Charles's birthday into a “publicity stunt”. Earlier this month Prince Harry confirmed through his spokesperson that there had been “no contact” from Charles, therefore confirming that he and Meghan had not received an invite to the royal bash he held at Clarence House last week. However, trusted insiders revealed how Harry had reached out to his father through a phone call on the day itself - a move that has been criticised as an attempt to hog the limelight and twist the story to make him appear to be the “bigger person” amidst the…

Coleen Rooney is at the peak of her powers after rave reviews for her three-part documentary followed by another boost to her brand with the release of her memoir, My Account. But while her Wagatha Christie rival Becky Vardy seemed to not have a care in the world earlier this month as she flooded Instagram with photos from her Las Vegas trip, there have been rumours of trouble in paradise. Following reports that her husband Jamie is struggling to fund her lavish lifestyle, with a punishing £3m legal bill to foot following her court clash with Coleen, insiders say that Becky is determined to bounce back and grab some new opportunities. Reports last week claimed she was in talks with ITV bosses about starring on the revamped Celebrity Big Brother,…

I'M A CELEB SPECIAL One of this year's most hotly anticipated I'm A Celeb contestants is Jamie Lynn Spears - the younger sister of Britney. Closer spoke to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton about what Britney, 41 - who has been embroiled in a feud with Jamie Lynn, 32, over recent years over her past conservatorship - will think of her younger sister taking part. DRAMA Perez, who has met and interviewed the singer, says, “Britney will be watching. I imagine she'll watch clips on social media as Britney consumes a lot of it and she always pays attention to what her family does. So she'll be watching and I imagine she will be scared about anything Jamie Lynn might say although I don't think she has anything to be scared…

When Natasha Loveridge developed a husky voice, she thought it was funny and even did impressions of rock singer Bonnie Tyler for friends. It never occurred to her that anything was seriously wrong as 48-year-old Natasha was a non-smoker, who regularly enjoyed yoga, mountain-biking and hiking. Natasha, who lives in Leeds, says, “I wasn't worried about the change in my voice or the squeaking sound when I breathed in. I only went to the doctor because my friends badgered me to go after I developed a cough.” Initially, Natasha was diagnosed with a lung infection because she was young and a non-smoker. Then, six months later, following a raft of tests, she finally got a diagnosis last December. “When I was told I had lung cancer I was completely shocked,”…

When Rachel held baby Mia*, in her arms for the first time, it was a particularly poignant moment. She went from believing she had missed her chance of becoming a mum to meeting a man - while backpacking - who agreed to be her sperm donor. Rachel, 52, says, “I'd always wanted children, so when my marriage broke down when I was 41, I was convinced I had missed my chance. But while backpacking, my dreams came true when I met a man who wanted to become a father and offered me his sperm. I'd gone for an adventure - and ended up with my daughter, Mia! I feel so thankful.” DIVORCED When Rachel started dating the man who would eventually become her husband, they had the kids conversation very…

She opened up about her relationship with Italian model and reality star Jimmy Barba just a few weeks ago, calling him “lovely” and revealing she didn't feel the need to get him “vetted”. But Denise Van Outen surprised fans last week when she announced shock news that the couple have split up after 17 months together. In a statement, she said, “We have decided to part ways but we remain great friends and our families and children are still in touch.” The presenter and West End actress - who is mum to daughter Betsy, 13, with ex-husband Lee Mead - is reportedly throwing herself into work as a distraction after a “rough few weeks”. An insider added, “Everyone loved [Jimmy], which made the decision even harder. She feels like she…

After splitting from their mutual partners in the summer, on-screen lovers Helen George and Oily Rix sent Call The Midwife fans into meltdown when they were spotted together last weekend. Helen, 39, was pictured leaving Olly's London home on Sunday morning - just hours after he was seen walking through his front door with two coffees in hand. Helen split with her longterm partner and co-star Jack Ashton in July, with the pair now co-parenting their two children - Wren, four, and one-year-old Lark. Helen and Jack first met when he joined the show in 2014 as Reverend Tom Hereward - later becoming Trixie's fiancé before they split and she moved on with Matthew Aylward, played by Oily, who was shockingly axed from the show in September. Previously opening up…

They announced their engagement following a romantic proposal in Rome last April and, last week, Made In Chelsea's Maeva D'Ascanio and James Taylor became husband and wife. Photographed leaving Chelsea Town Hall, Maeva, 31, looked beautiful in a floorlength silk gown and a shawl accessorised with white roses and a small veil, while James, 28, opted for a more casual look in a blue linen blazer and white chinos. The couple - who are expected to bless their marriage in another ceremony that will be filmed for the Channel 4 show - have been dating for three years and welcomed their son Beau in November last year…

She's been open about her terrifying ordeal with Botox and filler, readily admitting her lips have been a 'talking point' ever since she shot to fame on Love Island in 2021. And as Faye Winter confidently bares all for our exclusive photoshoot, she reveals she's now channelling her experience into something positive. The star, who shockingly suffered with facial paralysis after being injected with Botox from an untrained administer, says she's on a mission to warn and educate others about the dangers of injectables and is campaigning for better standards across the industry. Faye, 28, tells Closer, “When I first started having filler and Botox in my early twenties, I didn't think about the repercussions of what could go wrong, I just wanted to look a certain type of way.…

INSIDE LUCY'S FRIDGE ● Eggs ● Parmesan ● Brie ● Burrata ● Garlic ● Onion ● Greek yogurt ● Long stem broccoli ● Houmous ● Pesto ● Vine tomatoes ● Lettuce ● Chicken ● Salmon ● Avocado ● Raspberries ● Strawberries ● Carrots ● Mixed salad ● Potatoes ● Diet Coke ● Freshly-squeezed orange juice ● White wine VERDICT CLOSER NUTRITIONIST JULIETTE KELLOW SAYS: “Lucy really seems to appreciate good food, which helps to make her mindful of what she's eating. Her diet seems balanced and nutritious with plenty of vegetables, healthy protein-rich foods such as chicken, nuts, eggs and houmous, and starchy foods. She might like to add some more whole grains for a healthy gut and heart. She could try wholewheat sourdough bread and wraps, and brown rice.”…

Life balance WELLBEING FAMILY MATTERS YOUR GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL ISSUES & FAMILY LIFE WITH COUNSELLOR, PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND LIFE COACH ANNA WILLIAMSON There isn't a 'right' age to give a child a phone, it's about your child's mental, emotional and social awareness and understanding of what technology means and the implications of it. A good ballpark age is between 10 and 14, but it's completely up to parents to decide, and take a collaborative approach with their child to ascertain if they're aware, mature and responsible enough to have a phone. It's also worth noting that children who are on the autistic or ADHD spectrum might have other challenges around using phones, which are highly stimulating and might cause additional problems. I'd recommend looking at the NSPCC website (nspcc.org.uk ), which has really…

AS A CHEF THERE'S MORE IMPORTANCE PLACED ON WELLBEING NOW… I started cooking in the '90s, when excess was much more accepted. I've known chefs with malnutrition and others who've taken far too many drugs. These days there's more emphasis on sitting down and eating a proper meal. I go to the gym. walk, and turn off my phone. AN HOUR OF LIFTING WEIGHTS IS PHENOMENAL… The endorphins and the dopamine it gives you is unbeatable. After 10 to 12 reps, you feel as though as you've sprinted 100 metres. MY KIDS KEEP MY MIND ACTIVE… I stay up to date with what they're listening to and reading and I go to watch my daughter's band. I wouldn't want to be surrounded by people my age the whole time because…

MUST READ The Twelve Days Of Murder (ANDREINA CORDANI) Twelve years ago, eight friends ran an exclusive group at university: The Murder Masquerade Society. The mysteries were always fictional - until their final Christmas puzzle, when one of the group disappeared, never to be seen again. Now, the remaining members receive an invitation to a reunion, to be held in a remote country house in Scotland. The game begins, and the next morning, Lady Partridge is found hanging from a pear tree. It becomes clear that long-hidden secrets will come to the surface.…

The anticipated sixth series of The Crown landed on Netflix last week and with the royal drama covering the first days of Kate Middleton and Prince William's relationship, and it's proving to be a huge hit with fans. Taking centre stage is actress Meg Bellamy who, as the young Kate, has captured not just the eyes of viewers, but fashion houses, too. Last week it was revealed that Meg, 21, is to be the new face of Dior. In a fitting royal twist, the lucrative beauty gig was rumoured to be sought after by none other than Meghan Markle. Fans online have suggested the move “must make Markle cry”. An insider revealed, “They have been queuing up for Meg. She is being treated like Kate, an A-list princess.” And while…

NEWS She's freshly single after splitting from husband James Haskell two months ago. But, last week, Chloe Madeley seemed to not have a care in the world as she let her hair down on a night out with pals in London, looking gorgeous in a black sheer lace number. But insiders say that Chloe's friends and family - including parents and TV stars Richard Madeley, 67, and Judy Finnigan, 75 - worry that the personal trainer, who gave birth to the couple's daughter Bodbi last year, is partying as a distraction from the heartache she's been going through. A source says, “Chloe's been through a lot and just wants to go out and have fun right now. She's never shied away from the fact that she used to be a…

'SHE'S DETERMINED TO BE BETTER NOT BITTER' Octor Tom Ellis revealed that he'd welcomed his fourth child with wife Meaghan Oppenheimer last week, nine years after splitting with ex-wife Tamzin Outhwaite. And insiders say that despite being happily loved-up with new man Tom Child, the news has rocked Tamzin, 53. A source says, “While Tamzin has moved on and is happy, the news of Tom's new baby still stung. She's hurt, which is understandable considering Tom walked out on her and their kids. She's only human, but she's determined to be better not bitter and move forward.” Tamzin and Miranda actor Tom, 44, tied the knot in 2006, after a year of dating, before going on to welcome daughters Florence, 14, and Marnie, 10. INFIDELITY But tans were iett shocked…

Adding another bundle of joy to their big brood, Gordon and Tana Ramsey have welcomed a sixth child - a baby boy. Announcing the happy news on Instagram last week alongside a sweet picture of Tana, 49, cradling their newborn, the TV chef, 57, wrote, “What an amazing birthday present, please welcome Jesse James Ramsay, 7lbs TOoz whopper!! One more bundle of love to the Ramsay brigade!! 3 boys, 3 girls… Done.” The couple, who have been married for 18 years, are already parents to daughters Megan, 25, Holly, 23, and Tilly, 22, and sons Jack, 23, and four-year-old Oscar. And the family couldn't be more excited about their family of eight, with former Strictly star Tilly writing on social media, “Feeling so lucky to haveanotheramazing brother and to be…

ADD IN SOME WEIGHTS After spending most of her life doing punishing HIIT workouts, Kate is now a huge advocate for weight training to make yourself stronger and healthier. You don't even need lots of expensive equipment or loads of space (Kate films most of the workouts for her app in her laundry room). “Women always underestimate themselves and you will surprise yourself by how quickly you can progress. I imagine most of us are carrying shopping bags which are around 5kg! But when I'm lifting weights, I am focusing on my form; is my tummy tucked? Is my spine in a nice neutral position? And before I know it, I've done 30 minutes without thinking about who is having what for dinner or where I need to take the…

Manufacturers have been unable to keep up with demand for new so-called “weight loss” drugs like Ozempic (brand name Wegovy) and Saxenda. The first and most important thing to say is that these aren't “weight loss drugs”, or “skinny jabs” - they're a treatment for diabetes. They're only available on prescription, sometimes only via specialists, and yet the companies that make them have run out because they're being handed out all over the place. IGNORE THE CLAIMS People shouldn't be able to get drugs like Wegovy unless they fulfil the criteria, but many will have read about this “miracle weight loss jab” and desperately want to get their hands on them. It's great that a medicine has come along that works, but it's supposed to only be used by diabetics…

Louise Redknapp has gone Instagram official' with her new boyfriend. Here are Anna's tips on when to tell the world you're a couple It can be nervewracking to reveal a new relationship, because the minute you do, your private life is made public. Of course, meeting your partner's nearest and dearest is very different to a celeb sharing their new relationship on social media, but each comes with a similar vulnerability — allowing people into your personal life. That's why you need to be sure that you've discussed where you're at, and where you're heading as a couple. The people that care about us most can be very protective of us, so you may have nerves and apprehension around their reaction. That can be particularly strong if you have any…

Selling your unwanted clothing online can be a hassle-free way to break even on purchases, or even make a profit, Here's a guide Selling your clothes - or your kids' clobber - could be a great way to make some extra cash in time for Christmas. Meanwhile by using sites like Vinted, Depop, Facebook Marketplace and eBay to both buy and sell, you could never “spend” again, as each time you sell, you use that money to buy. Here's everything you need to know… CONSIDER FEES Platforms where you sell your clothes take a small percentage of the profit, so check the small print. Depop and eBay take around 10% of the final transaction, whereas Vinted takes between 3% and 8% making it a popular choice. “Vinted is my favourite,”…

Mary J Blige The singer hit all the right notes in a sheer Christian Siriano gown embellished with intricate diamanté details. We love the small train, which flowed behind and gave the look an elegant edge. Serena Williams Serena took home another trophy for best dressed in a dramatic blacksequinned number.

COMPLEXION CALMERS Harsh weather and environmental aggressors can damage the skin's natural barrier, which will lead to dryness and irritation. Opt for a lightweight serum that's packed with antioxidant ingredients such as vitamin C to protect that barrier and deeply nourish. A serum will absorb deeper and hydrate better than a cream, so it's a must when it comes to your winter routine. SIMPLE BOOSTER SERUM 10% VITAMIN C+E+F, £8 POUT PERFECTORS Chapped lips are not only uncomfortable but can mean your fave lipstick looks patchy and flaky too. The skin on your lips is more delicate than the rest of your face, so it's prone to damage from chilly temperatures. Keep your pout protected without having to compromise on colour by wearing a lipstick that's infused with moisturising ingredients…

W hat's it like to hang out with Take That? It's so lovely; a real joy! I know them all pretty well now - Gary from X Factor days [when he was a judge and Dermot was host]. We're friends - I really enjoy their company and I'm a big fan, but I've never really had the opportunity to interview them like this. How does Reel Stories work? It's about trying to show people what they haven't seen before, and we always make a point of recording for two hours straight - from the minute we walk into the room to the minute we leave. We were cutting it tight on time and Gary said, 'No, let's carry on!' - and so we ended up chatting for longer. There's always something…

They may have only been in the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle for a few days, but viewers are already starting to choose their favourite contestants, and currently topping the list are This Morning's Josie Gibson and reality star Sam Thompson.

THE Boost For a while, scientists have known that “passive body heating” (otherwise known as taking a bath) before going to bed improves sleep. Now a new study has honed in on just how to perfect it! They compared the effects of either showering, having a quick bath or a long luxurious bath before bed, and found that having a 15-minute bath 90 minutes to two hours before turning in for the night gave the best results, with bathers falling asleep more easily and enjoying better quality sleep. Rubber ducky optional.…

Were you ever taught howto reject someone? I never was. I was told to be kind, not to leave people out and to accept everyone as who they were. All vital lessons, but when it comes to letting go of someone from my life be it from a friendship circle, a team at work, a great love or just a guy I went on a few dates with I have no idea of the right way to do things. A big part of life and a bigger part of dating is about facing rejection, so I'm not sure why I was never really taught how to be the perpetrator or, the victim, of it. I have trained myself to cope better with the let downs in dating - regular readers…

We've absolutely loved all the action in the tent this year, which saw the addition of fab Alison Hammond as new host - plus some very snazzy outfits (and specs) from Prue Leith.
