‘MEGHAN WANTS TO REVEAL THE TRUE KATE’ The war between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton has been raging over the past four years – reaching an explosive peak when the former Suits actress accused her sisterinlaw of leaving her in tears after a row over bridesmaids’ dresses ahead of her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry. But that was just the start of a litany of complaints levelled at Kate, 41 – who Meghan, 42, has since accused of being at best cold and “not a hugger”, and at worst, has hinted she was a bully who ignored her cries for help. REVELATIONS And last week the shocking revelations notched up a gear when “Meghan's mouthpiece” Omid Scobie released his new book, Endgame – which sees him again fire shots into…

Her name is on everyone's lips right now as reports grow that This Morning bosses are desperate to sign up Cat Deeley as main host on the daytime show. The whispers follow Cat's successful debut last month, with viewers praising her and Craig Doyle as a “dream team” and “a breath of fresh air”, and one posting, “Such a relief to get two quickwitted, quality, seasoned professionals,” after she also hosted alongside Rylan Clark. Now an insider tells Closer that Cat – who relocated from LA to the UK in 2020 – is the frontrunner to take over from former host Holly Willoughby as a permanent fixture on the show. EMOTIONAL TUG-OF-WAR But, we're told, mum-of-two Cat, 47, is also feeling torn between giving up her quieter family life and…

Single Rachel Howlett, 47, is a gardener and carer from Biggleswade, Beds. She's frugal all year round, especially during the festive season. She says, “I'm extremely careful – I spend £13 a week on food and I avoid turning on my heating or even my lights, using candles instead. I even use a tea bag eight times! “At Christmas, I'm the same. I don't buy decorations, I never send cards and give the bare minimum of presents. A while back I suggested to friends we stopped doing them, and thankfully they agreed. If I do give a present, it'll be a re-gift and if I put it in a gift bag, I ask for the bag back – so I never need to buy wrapping paper. I buy in sales…

Rumours are swirling of trouble in paradise for Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague, after videos of the boxer partying went viral. In videos posted online, Tommy, 24, was spotted rubbing shoulders with singer Chris Brown, 34, and an array of glamorous women in Dubai – while his fiancee stayed home with daughter Bambi, 10 months. Shortly after, Molly-Mae, 24, was spotted without her £600,000 engagement ring. But last week, Venezuela Fury – Tommy's niece and the daughter of boxing legend Tyson Fury, 35 – weighed in on the drama. The 14-year-old wrote online, “Tommy and Molly are perfectly fine, just some private stuff has been happening,” later adding, “They are happier than ever”. Shortly after, Molly-Mae herself appeared to shut down any rumours of a rocky romance by stepping out…

Every night, Crystal Smith hops between the beds of her long-term boyfriend, Tyler, and his best friend Robin, 31. Luckily for Crystal, she doesn't have far to travel as Robin sleeps in the room next door… Crystal and Tyler, 33, were in a monogamous relationship and went on to get engaged and have two children. But when they hit a rough patch, Tyler's best friend Robin became Crystal's rock. When feelings started to develop between the two of them, Robin was eventually invited into Crystal and Tyler's relationship and now, they love life as a trio. Crystal says, “I have two amazing men who love me – I feel so lucky!” Crystal and Tyler's unusual love story began in 2011 when they met through a mutual friend. Crystal, 32, says,…

“My alarm goes off at 5.30am, I put on my trainers, my Pour Moi Energy Strive Sports bra and the matching leggings in leopard print, which is a bit of me! I'm out the door by 6am for a run. After that I take the plunge and get into an ice bath. This is, quite possibly, my favourite ritual of the day. It helps my muscles relax and supports my mental and physical health. “For lunch I'll grab a leafy salad with grilled salmon, check my emails and make calls. If I have an early start the next day, I like to plan my outfit. It's important to have a wardrobe filled with clothes that make you feel like you can conquer anything. After a long day, the highlight is…

Break-ups suck. There's no skirting around it, they're simply an inevitable part of having been in love for anyone who's had more than one relationship. Which I imagine is pretty much most of us. But did you know the average Brit will go through five break-ups in their lifetime? My first thought: is it really only five? In the past decade, dating apps have ruled supreme and the “casual relationship” or “situationship” – or whatever label you want to give these non-defined sexual partnerships between two people – have been hugely on the rise. I find these constant stop/start romantic scenarios more emotionally draining and damaging than an “official” relationship and breakup. That's not to negate how both are painful – I've already racked up four true breakups with people…

‘SHE'S READY TO RID HERSELF OF THE REMINDERS OF THE WORST TIME IN HER LIFE’ In a candid confession to her fans on social media, Kerry Katona has revealed she's set to go back under the knife to fix her nose, after revealing her past cocaine addiction has caused it to collapse, like her pal, Danniella Westbrook's. Opening up to her 895k Instagram followers last week, Kerry, 42, revealed how a doctor recommended the procedure after inspecting her damaged nose during a consultation for an eye-lift. In videos posted on her Instagram stories, the mum-offive – who's undergone a series of cosmetic surgery procedures over the years – said, “I was offered to get it fixed years ago and I said no, because for me it was a reminder never…

Single mum-oftwo Yasmine Camilla used to think nothing of blowing £2,000 over the Christmas period – from new decorations, special festive pyjamas, brand-new outfits just for the big day and piles of presents under the tree. Stocking fillers alone for her two kids would cost her £600. But she never saved for the occasion, instead she'd stick it all on her credit card and tell herself she'd tackle it in January – except she didn't. Yasmine, 37, a freelance project manager who lives in London with her children, Callum, 10, and Amber, eight, admits, “I never planned, I'd shop at the last minute and in my mind if you wanted to buy something and couldn't afford it, that's what credit cards were for. I hated the idea that anyone would…

She's become one of the UK's most successful TV stars, with a flourishing presenting career, a happy marriage and two daughters set to follow in her showbiz footsteps. But last week, Amanda Holden's painful past came back to haunt her when actor Neil Morrissey – with whom she famously had an affair in 2000 while married to comedian Les Dennis, 70 – made a crude joke about the fling, which led to the breakdown of her seven-year marriage and left her career hanging in the balance. Appearing on the Restless Natives podcast, the former Men Behaving Badly star, 61, joked, “Don't f*** a game show host's wife”, in reference to Les, who at the time presented Family Fortunes. INSENSITIVE Neil's quip – which was one part of his three pieces…

Despite filming taking place in the Australian jungle, this year's contestants have been facing strong winds and wet weather, so TV presenter Scarlette Douglas – who finished in 10th place on the iconic ITV show in 2022 – is relishing watching the show from the safety of her sofa. “I'm loving watching this series, especially from the warmth and comfort of my own home,” she explained at Tombola's Critter Challenge event last week. “Viewers don't realise that the weather can actually be pretty bad out there. It does get quite damp, which definitely adds to the misery.” ‘Along with bad weather, Scarlette, 36, struggled with the lack of food, acknowledging that it would have been helpful to have a professional chef in the jungle to feed her and her fellow…

NEWS She sparked fresh concern over her “terrifying” new face last week after going under the knife yet again in her desperate strive for perfection. Self-confessed surgery addict Katie Price, 45, looked barely recognisable after her latest lip procedure – which she worryingly confessed made her “look like a puffer fish” – and having more bum filler, which she gruesomely shared had been “leaking” during a live podcast event in Manchester. Just two days later, the former glamour model – also known as Jordan – was rushed to hospital after noticing blood oozing from her eye during a red-carpet appearance, which doctors diagnosed as a haemorrhage, likely sparked by stress. SPIRAL And as her daughter Princess’ public profile continues to grow after she signed a megabucks modelling deal earlier this…

With the countdown to Christmas having truly begun, Kate Garraway bravely revealed last week that her husband Derek Draper is back in hospital. And while the Good Morning Britain presenter, 56, described herself as being thrown back into the “visiting game” as Derek, 56, undergoes the second part of a procedure that she hopes will aid his movement, a source tells Closer that Kate is desperate to have her husband home for Christmas Day. TOUGH TIMES The insider says, “It's awful for her and the children to see Derek back in hospital, but they are desperately hoping it won't be for long. “Kate, as ever, is doing her best to try to work through it, but it's been really tough. It's hard enough juggling work and being a mum, but…

Joe Wicks – the fitness guru behind Lean In 15 – has gone back to his roots, promoting fitness and health you can do in easy 15-minute chunks. But this time, in his new book, Feel Good In 15, he's included a 360-degree approach to wellbeing covering things like sleep, mobility, relationships, gratitude and reducing stress, as well as nutrition and fitness. Joe – who shares Indie, five, Marley, four, and Leni, one, with wife Rosie – says, “These things all have to be in harmony with each other, and one can lead to another too.

FORMER PRO BOXER JONNY NELSON, 56, ON HOW HE LOOKS AFTER HIS BODY AND MIND IT'S GOOD TO KEEP TESTING YOURSELF… I make sure to keep challenging myself to break through mental boundaries that can creep up.

“It's not a smooth relationship with Keanu and Sharon, and it's probably quite toxic at times. However, there is deep lust and love for one another, and I think Keanu is trying to play the whole, ‘ignorance is bliss’ card – what she doesn't know won't hurt her. He's not evil, he just makes poor choices and doesn't think before his actions.” On how Keanu would react to Sharon's own massive secret – the matter of Albie being Phil's biological son, not Keanu's – Danny adds, “I think if Keanu were to ever find out, his whole world would be crushed. It would be so devastating and heart-breaking.” FOLLOW OUR LIVE TWEETS OVER AT @CloserOnline…

NEWS Making a rare appearance with her boyfriend Johnny Lloyd last month, Billie Piper was spotted enjoying Bonfire Night celebrations with her beau and their four-year-old daughter, Tallulah. Insiders say the twice-divorced actress, 41, is set to wed the musician, 37, after telling friends about their plans to elope. A source says, “Billie's had two big weddings and is adamant that if she gets hitched again, it will be small and intimate. “She and Johnny have spoken about getting married and how they'd love to sneak away and marry in Italy with just a handful of loved ones.” The former pop star – who also shares sons Winston, 14, and Eugene, ten, with exhusband Laurence Fox, 35 – was reportedly left “humiliated and betrayed” after learning the actor was “wooing…

Within minutes, it had all gone and Amy hid the wrappers at the bottom of the bin so no one could see her secret order.

With her iconic leopard-print outfits, larger than life laugh and infectious energy, Mel B, aka Scary Spice, was an inspiration to a generation. Along with the rest of the Spice Girls, championing women via “girl power” was at the core of what they represented. But almost three decades since Wannabe stormed the charts, Mel, 48, has stayed true to that message and isn't giving self deprecation any attention. TV PRESSURES Mel, who is working with Pour Moi on their Own Your Confidence campaign, says, “I've always felt confident in my own skin. I was born a working class kid in Leeds in the 1970s. My dad was black – from Nevis – and my mum was a blue-eyed, blonde-haired English rose. I was brown. My skin was different to most…

ALL ABOUT YOU! DON'T DREAD A LONELY CHRISTMAS Every year, millions of people spend the festivities alone. Some choose to, others would rather be surrounded by loved ones. If you worry you'll be lonely, there's plenty you can do It's important to take the stigma away from spending Christmas alone.

But if you hate the idea of being alone, reach out – let people know you'll be spending it by yourself and that you would rather have some company. You may be invited to pop over at some point – for lunch, a drink or a walk. Equally, if you know somebody who might be by themselves, ask about their plans and invite them…

Of course, this being Yuletide, she's joined by some special guests (Andy Murray, Iain Stirling and Emeli Sandé), and it couldn't get more Christmassy with snow (which Mary is adorably excited by – heart!), reindeer, a Yule log, bagpipes, carols – and the odd drop of sherry.
