After taking time away from public duties for most of last year while she battled back to health, 2025 has marked the start of a fresh chapter for Kate Middleton as she has eased herself back into her royal responsibilities. Over recent weeks, the Princess of Wales has made a number of public appearances as part of her phased return following her successful treatment for cancer. Royal watchers have noted how she has made efforts to highlight the work of cancer charities – visiting wards at the Royal Marsden Hospital where she'd received chemotherapy treatment, as well as a children's hospice in South Wales earlier this year. And insiders say there's a new seriousness about her work – which goes hand in hand with recent reports that Kensington Palace is…

In a bombshell interview last week, Katie Price sensationally claimed that every partner she's had has been unfaithful, saying, 'Everyone I've ever been with has always cheated or wandered or done something, and always with someone minging!' STRAYED But in an exclusive chat with Closer, her ex-fiancé Carl Woods insists that he never cheated on her and that it was in fact Katie who strayed – even while they were going through IVF to have her much longed-for sixth child. Ahead of their split, the former couple filmed documentary, Katie Price: Making Babies, which recently aired on Channel 4 and followed their efforts to start a family together. Echoing the thoughts of viewers, who questioned why it still aired last month despite them having split up in 2023, Carl shares,…

She's put on a brave face since becoming single in November – but last week Kerry Katona revealed how spending Valentine's Day alone hit her harder than she expected. Now, insiders reveal that she's missing ex-fiancé, Ryan Mahoney. A source tells Closer, 'Kerry is feeling very torn. In the early days after their split, she felt certain and completely in control, but lately she's been questioning her emotions and she's realised she's missing Ryan and sometimes just feels as if she wants him back. Everything she does just magnifies her feelings around being alone. She's been asking her pals if she made a mistake leaving him as she's so unsure – it's really unlike her. 'She's done everything to keep herself distracted and fill the void Ryan left, but Kerry's…

It appeared she'd found happiness again after splitting from her third husband in 2021 – but it seems Kym Marsh may once more be single after reportedly breaking up with Samuel Thomas. Kym, 48, and Samuel, 29, met after starring in a touring production of 101 Dalmatians last summer and made their relationship official in July, with Samuel sharing a post of the couple looking loved-up, captioned, 'I didn't expect you, but here you are. I love you.' But Kym has now reportedly ended things after the show's UK tour ended in January, with a source saying, 'It became harder to spend time together and some of the magic they had at the beginning just disappeared.' Kym has made headlines over the years for her roller-coaster romances. Before rising to…

When Belinda Harvey met activist Bob Robinson in 1987, it was love at first sight. But after a two-year relationship, Bob claimed he was in trouble with the police and disappeared – leaving Belinda heartbroken and without answers. Shockingly, 20 years later, Belinda discovered that their whole relationship had been a lie and that Bob had been part of a secretive police unit sent to spy on thousands of political groups. Following an almost decade-long £88 million public inquiry into undercover policing, appalling details emerged revealing police officers stole the identities of deceased children to create new aliases and even fathered children with the women they spied upon while undercover. Now, a new ITV documentary, The Undercover Police Scandal: Love And Lies Exposed, from the makers of the award-winning drama series…

CHIC AND SLEEK Take a cue from Maura and let your dress do the talking by pairing with neutral accessories. Don't underestimate the power of layering – a solid-coloured jacket adds a polished, refined touch. IN THE DETAILS One of the easiest ways to add a smidge of the feline print to your outfit is through accessories. Opt for simple ballet flats and a mini bag for a seriously fashion-forward ensemble. RED ALERT Although it's safe to style printed jeans with toned-down colours, consider an unconventional shade to stand out. Teaming your trousers with a bright vest and trainers will make the pattern pop. STAND OUT IN A BRIGHT SHADE MAXIMALIST APPEAL The allure of a leopard coat is its ability to elevate any outfit. Channel Paris' style by wearing…

Cradling her blossoming bump for an exclusive photo shoot, Charlotte Dawson is positively glowing. The star is in her final trimester and just weeks away from meeting her much longed-for baby girl. And while she can hardly contain her excitement over her arrival, she admits she's experiencing a few last-minute nerves. CRYING Charlotte, who is mum to sons Noah, four, and 19-month-old Jude with fiancé Matthew Sarsfield, tells Closer, 'Some days I'm really ready and so excited, and other days I'm like, “Oh my god, I've got to push a baby out of my fanjita, and have to go through breastfeeding and bleeding nipples all over again.” I am feeling a little hormonal. I find myself crying for no reason, but I know it's only temporary and it'll all be…

TRY 'GOOD GUT' SWAPS We're all aware of the importance of gut health, and Dr Zoe says she prioritises packing fibre and plant foods into meals. 'This increases the diversity of helpful bacteria that make up your microbiome,' she says. 'It also protects you from the harmful bacteria that can take hold in your gut.' Lentils and beans are loaded with fibre and give a great protein boost. 'We always have them in our cupboards, and we have sunflower, chia and hemp seeds too,' she says. 'They're a cheap way of adding fibre, and…

It might not be the obvious place to adjust your carbon footprint, but your pension represents a big opportunity to make greener choices. 'Ask your pension provider where your money is currently invested,' advises Zoe Brett, Financial Planner at EQ Investors. 'You might well be invested in the default fund which invests in all manner of companies. Nearly all workplace pension schemes will now offer an ethical option. But go a step further by asking what commitments they have made to reducing their carbon footprint – have they committed to go NetZero by 2050?' If you have multiple pots from other workplaces, you can check those too. THE Boost For more quick fixes to boost your money visit The Boost UK on Instagram.…

You must be thrilled to be hosting Oscars Live again… I couldn't be more excited about this year's event. The Oscars is the biggest night in the film calendar and movies are one of the three biggest passions in my life. The other two, if you're interested, are food and comic books! Obviously, there are people and animals that I care about just as much, but in terms of things, it's those two. Will you be doing anything differently this time? There's a number of films nominated that viewers might not have had the chance to see yet. With this in mind, we are going to provide really entertaining packages about each movie so that the viewer is aware of the film and its talking points. So hopefully, it will…

That's not a bad call, Sarah. The second one does hit hard. But not quite as good as the one that follows an entire packet of M&S Outrageously Chocolatey Rounds at 11am. Oh Cardi, we just love your quaint little Americanisms. Foot mask!!! Over here in the UK, we call them 'sock puppets!' GRUMPY GRAM Poor old Billie Eilish, or as she's now to be known after taking this selfie, Billie Eye-bash. That looks really nasty, Bils – get yourself to your nearest ophthalmology unit ASAP!…

Kelle Salle had been on and off dating apps for six years when, in May 2024, she finally decided she'd had enough. Kelle, 34, a beauty and lifestyle journalist from Reading, says, 'I'd tried two of the main apps – Tinder and Bumble. But online dating takes a lot of resilience. You speak to someone and get along great, but then they're not reciprocating your energy so you have to go again, and again… The constant swiping and starting and ending conversations is time-consuming and draining. 'Last year, I'd been speaking to someone for six weeks and there was no talk of a date, despite me hinting. I suspected they were already in a relationship or just stringing me along. Then, with another date, there was an extreme lack of…

They were set to be reality TV's 'It couple' but fans were left shocked when news broke that Pete Wicks and Maura Higgins had split, with sources saying the former Love Island star called time on their romance after feeling she'd 'never be able to trust' him. And insiders tell Closer that while both are devastated at the split, Maura felt forced to call it quits. TOTAL TRUST A source says, 'Maura fell for him very quickly and very hard – so for things to end so soon has been heartbreaking. But in any relationship, she needs to be able to trust someone 100%, and she just couldn't find that with Pete, so she had to end things. 'She'd introduced Pete to her family and friends back home in Ireland,…

Dental nurse Emma Dollochin lives in Maryport, Cumbria, with her husband Matthew, 42, a site manager, and their two children Maisie, 14, and Scarlett, 12. She says, 'I'm so grateful to Danielle Lloyd for speaking out – celebrities always seem untouchable and so it shows that it can happen to anyone and makes me feel less alone. 'I've really struggled since my diagnosis earlier this month especially as, like Danielle, I'm waiting for results to see how much it's spread. I first went to my GP in November because I was worried about a mark on my nose which had been there for over a year and wouldn't go away. It started as a dry patch but had changed shape and started crusting and bleeding. 'I knew I had reason to…

How much do you spend? We do a big online shop from Sainsbury's every week, but I'll be honest – this isn't my department! My wife Kate is in charge of that, and I do everything else. We probably spend around £150, and it arrives like clockwork every Monday. Describe your daily diet… My day starts with a banana and a cup of tea before heading into hair and make-up at Emmerdale – that keeps me going until lunch. I usually grab a sweet potato with tuna and cheese from the canteen. Dinner is a proper sit-down meal with the family, something hearty like cottage pie. Snack-wise, I'm obsessed with salt and vinegar crisps, and I have a serious biscuit addiction. If you can dunk it in tea, I love…

There's recently been a big shift in women turning their backs on hormonal contraception like the Pill and switching to period trackers or fertility apps on their smartphones. But these 'awareness-based' methods are unreliable compared with other types of contraception – and can put your health at risk. WHY THE SWITCH? Normally, when women decide to change their contraception in large numbers, it's because there's been a big news story about a terrible risk that's been identified. But there's been nothing in the headlines, so it's probably down to scaremongering on social media. A lot of these apps are also promoted on Instagram or TikTok, but these really aren't the best places to get your health information. Some women might reject hormonal contraception over misplaced fears about putting 'chemicals' into…

EMMERDALE ASHES TO ASHES It's all doom and gloom in the Dales this week as the villagers prepare to bury their dead following the lake disaster. While the Bartons opt for a tasteful back-to-nature woodland ceremony for tragic Amy, it's the full church funeral for Leyla – if, that is, grieving Jacob can stay off the booze long enough to organise it. He'd better sober up pretty sharpish though, because Sarah has some life-changing news to impart that could force the distraught lad to grow up very quickly indeed. Elsewhere, there's a bittersweet reunion for April when she sneaks off back to the squat, while Moira decides her marriage is over in the light of Cain's ill-advised dalliance with Ruby. Yeah, right! EASTENDERS HE'S THE DADDY! Secrets never stay that…

They celebrated Valentine's Day with a romantic break in Paris, but despite being in the City of Love, Stacey Solomon was said to be feeling a little less enamoured with her man, Joe Swash. Sources tell Closer that the Sort Your Life Out star is having to put on a brave face after her husband of two years appears to have had a change of heart about having a fourth child together. HAPPY MISTAKE The couple made an unexpected detour to the French capital with their kids, Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, and her sons Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12, on their way to a ski trip in Switzerland. Stacey shared photos of her and Joe hugging in Paris. 'Happy Valentines Day from the very unexpected Eiffel Tower.…

• Join a club or class, or start a new hobby. Choose something you'll enjoy learning or doing anyway so that meeting someone is just a bonus. • Volunteer, whether at your local parkrun or a homeless shelter. Pick a cause you're genuinely passionate about and you'll likely meet like-minded people. • Put your phone away when you're out and about and become more aware of who is around you. Smile and make eye contact with people you find attractive. Strike up a conversation by complimenting something they're wearing, or ask for advice on how to use a particular piece of equipment at the gym. When you're on the bus, comment on something around you. • Are you always heading to the same bars and clubs with your friends? Try…

McKayla Kennard and her little sister Adrianna were inseparable growing up, and even when McKayla moved out aged 19, 16-year-old Adrianna came right along with her. They went on to find love and settle down in their own homes close by, and even fell pregnant at the same time. But neither of them could have imagined their children would be born on the same day – and delivered by McKayla – just hours apart! The sisters are now raising eight-month-olds Kash and Rylan as 'cousin twins', a term they use for the unusual circumstances. Homebirth traditional midwife McKayla, 25, says, 'Though Adrianna and I have always been close, I think this experience has made us closer than ever.' POSITIVE McKayla was already mum to daughters Korah, three, and Kinsley, nine…

I'M ACTIVE EVERY DAY… Walking 5-6 miles is part of my routine, and living in Wales makes it easy to escape into the hills. I switch off my phone and take in the fresh air, views and sounds of nature – it's the best reset. I EAT WHOLE FOODS… I avoid ready meals, cut down on sugar where I can, and drink plenty of water. TRACKING MY GLUCOSE HAS BEEN A GAME-CHANGER… Using the Lingo by Abbott biosensor has helped me understand how small changes impact my energy and sleep. I used to hit a 5pm slump and reach for chocolate or coffee, but now I grab a handful of nuts instead. This keeps my glucose levels steady and stops the crashes. TIME OFFLINE IS MY ULTIMATE SELF-CARE… Cooking with…

'Not only does the buttermilk in these pancakes give a unique buttery flavour, it also ensures your batter is as light as a cloud.' BECKY EXCELL'S BUTTERMILK PANCAKES – 3 WAYS STEP 1 In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and bicarb. In a large jug, combine the eggs with the buttermilk or milk and lemon mixture.

STEP 2 Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and generously spray with vegetable oil. Once hot, pour in enough batter to form as many 10cm rounds as will fit without touching.
