She looked stunning on her family holiday, showing off her trim figure in a black bikini. And now, sources reveal that Stacey Solomon’s husband Joe Swash can’t resist her since her body transformation. Our insider says, ‘Stacey is glowing – she’s feeling amazing and it shows! Joe was on standby as he admitted to pals, “My wife is so sexy!” He can’t help himself and thinks about how lucky he is. He has been 100% supportive in getting behind Stacey’s drive to feel and look herself again. She looks beautiful to Joe whatever shape or size, but right now, he says his wife is hot, hot, hot!’ BEAUTIFUL In a candid Instagram post last week, Stacey, 35, shared that her ‘body looks a little different to last year’s summer holiday’,…

‘ THIS IS GOING TO GET EXTREMELY MESSY! ’ He’s remained tightlipped about their toxic feud since their split 16 years ago, but last week Peter Andre admitted that his silence ‘ends today’ as he furiously hit back at ex-wife Katie Price. Taking to Instagram, Pete lashed out after Katie said she wanted to make contact with him amid their recent fall-out over their 18-year-old daughter Princess. ‘For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today,’ he wrote. And now sources close to the former couple tell Closer that their bitter feud is about to get even more explosive – and…

She’s been going through a quiet spell in her career, with no primetime show to front for the first time in over 20 years. But Holly Willoughby is now leaning on her TV producer husband Dan Baldwin to help secure her next big gig. GOLDEN GIRL ‘Holly’s used to being at the very top of the game, so the past year has been a huge knock to her confidence,’ a source tells Closer. ‘Dan has been an incredible support, but he’s under his own pressures running his production company. Holly has a quiet expectation that he’ll be able to fix this and help her land the next big show to regain her golden girl status.’ Holly, 44, and Dan, 50, met while they were both working on ITV kids’ show…

She became one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelorettes following her divorce from Joe Manganiello in 2023, and now Sofia Vergara tells Closer that she’s open to finding love again. In an exclusive chat, the Modern Family star reveals, ‘I do still believe in love. In life things don’t always work out as we expected or wanted them to, but even when we have experienced disappointment, I think it’s good for the heart to at least be open to finding love. I want somebody who still wants to have a lot of fun in life, who laughs a lot and makes me laugh. HOPEFUL ‘Divorce taught me that there is always hope. Sometimes things don’t work out because there is a huge issue that neither of you want to compromise on,…

CLASSIC ELEGANCE Blue and white stripes are the original combo – and Daisy Edgar-Jones proves that the pairing stands the test of time with this outfit. For a smart-yet-casual look, you can’t go wrong with a co-ord. WEAR SEPARATELY OR AS A SET EASY BREEZY This is a failsafe ensemble that’ll keep you looking and feeling cool in the heat.

A bold stripe makes a statement on its own, so keep accessories minimal – think simple jewellery and a sleek chain belt. RE-STYLE WITH LINEN TROUSERS MONOCHROME MAGIC…

• CHRISTINE McGUINNESS She represents a really important demographic. She’s come out of a celebrity marriage, is dealing with her sexuality and is neurodiverse – she didn’t disappoint. • JON LEE He has got one of the most compelling and heartbreaking stories. He’s very open and one of the most well put together men I’ve ever met. His time at the agency is very promising. • OLIVIA HAWKINS There was a game of dating ping pong. Dating for Liv is not linear. Love Island is a brutal way to be rejected, so I hope she had a more cathartic experience with us. • MARK 'THE BEAST' LABBETT Mark is going to surprise everyone. He is brilliantly awkward and at times, brilliantly honest. But he also ruffles a few feathers not…

How much do you spend? Between £50 and £150 on ingredients, depending on what I’m making. I’m really lucky – there’s a huge supermarket right downstairs from my apartment, so I end up popping in almost daily. I love food shopping and cooking from scratch, I don’t tend to eat out much. Describe your daily diet… Breakfast is usually a ham and cheese toastie – it’s quick, comforting, and sets me up for the day. Since I stopped working in an office, I don’t really snack anymore. For lunch, I’m a big steak fan. I like mine medium and have a little routine: sear it on both sides in a hot pan, take it out, slice it, then add garlic and butter to the pan before tossing the pieces back…

If you’re sneaking in one last summer holiday this year, please don’t listen to Sam Faiers and stop putting sunscreen on your kids – the celeb mum, despite later clarifying she was not an expert, confessed she doesn’t use SPF on her family as she believes some brands are ‘harmful’. But this idea that sunscreen is somehow more dangerous than sunburn is not only wrong, it increases the risk of developing skin cancer. I know parents always want to do the best thing for their kids, but ignoring SPF because of some ill-informed advice is far more harmful. THE MISGUIDED MYTH Kelsey Parker, widow of The Wanted singer Tom Parker, also says her family go without, after mistakenly claiming SPFs cause skin cancer. So how did this bogus belief get…

The Beckham brood put on a united front last week, with mum Victoria posting happy snaps from their family holiday together. But behind the scenes, sources tell Closer that she’s having the ‘worst time of her life’ following the shock of finding out about estranged son Brooklyn’s surprise wedding vow renewal with wife Nicola Peltz and her close-knit family. VOW RENEWAL Just three years after initially saying “I do, ” Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, renewed their vows surrounded by her family and their friends – with a guest list including actor Adrien Brody and fashion designer Alexander Wang. Nicola’s billionaire father Nelson was front and centre of the nuptials, even officiating the ceremony. Nicola paid a sweet tribute to her mother, too – wearing a repurposed version of Claudia’s…

CRISTIANO'S SPARKLING PROPOSAL Hunky football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has finally put a ring on it! After being in a romance with Argentine-Spanish model Georgina Rodríguez for eight years, Cristiano, 40, popped the question with a huge sparkler. Fans were left speechless by a pic of the enormous rock in a picture Georgina, 31, posted recently. In a caption, written in Spanish, she wrote, ‘Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.’ Cristiano and Georgina met in 2016 when he entered the Gucci shop where she was working in Madrid, Spain. A true love at first sight moment! EAMONN'S SURPRISE TRIBUTE TO RUTH Despite their ongoing and messy divorce, Eamonn Holmes has shared a surprising moment of gratitude towards ex-wife Ruth Langsford. In an Instagram post about caring for…

Bursting into the public eye as part of hip-hop group N-Dubz back in 2007, Tulisa Contostavlos’s whirlwind rise to fame saw her become a household name as part of the X Factor judging panel. But it all came crashing down soon after, when she stood trial after being charged with intent to supply a Class A drug. The singer, 37, had been the victim of an elaborate sting by undercover reporter who’d posed as a Bollywood film producer, plying her with alcohol. Thankfully, the case was thrown out and the reporter jailed in 2016, after being found guilty of conspiring to pervert the course of justice. Tulisa – who was just 24 when she appeared in court – has now documented her experience in her book, Judgement: Love, Trials And…

LAKESIDE WALKS ARE MY HAPPY PLACE… Some of my favourite walks are around Windermere and Derwentwater – I’ve been visiting them since I was little. There’s something really special about sharing those same views and trails with my own kids now. RUNNING CONTINUES TO INSPIRE ME… Completing the marathon was a huge personal milestone – it challenged me both physically and mentally, and I’m really proud of what I achieved. It’s not about perfection – just setting goals that fit your life and giving yourself grace along the way. THE RIGHT GEAR CHANGES EVERYTHING… If you’re comfortable, confident and ready for the weather, you’ll enjoy the outdoors so much more. My staples? A waterproof jacket, some layers and proper walking boots. • Helen is a proud ambassador for GO Outdoors,…

COOK'S STICKY BARBECUE RIBS STEP 1 Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan 140°C. Place the ribs in a snug-fitting roasting tray. Pour over enough water to just cover the ribs, then add the garlic, sugar and salt. Cover well with a double layer of foil and roast for 2-3hr, turning the ribs halfway through, until the meat is tender but not falling apart. STEP 2 Meanwhile, for the barbecue sauce, place all the ingredients in a medium sized saucepan, bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer on a low heat, stirring frequently. After about 20min, once the sauce coats the back of a spoon, turn off the heat. STEP 3 When the ribs are cooked, remove from the oven and carefully drain away the cooking water. Increase the oven…

JAMES NORTON: 'Our story is more twisty than the school history books!' James dons his armour and takes us into battle in King & Conqueror Most of us remember lessons on the Battle of Hastings at school – mainly for the arrow in the eye moment. But the events of 1066, which have gone on to define the future of a continent as well as a country for a thousand years, are a tapestry richer than the one in Bayeux which commemorates the war. This epic new eight-part series looks at the interconnected family dynasties and power struggle which led to a conflict which changed the course of history. James Norton stars as Harold, Earl of Wessex and serves as executive producer, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is William, Duke of Normandy. And…

'MYLEENE FEELS LIKE SHE’S BEING GANGED UP ON' Myleene Klass shocked fans last month when she sensationally claimed she’d once caught her ex Graham Quinn ‘unzipping’ a mystery female celebrity at her birthday party before their 2011 wedding. The drama has since rumbled on – and Myleene, 47, has set tongues wagging once again following reports she’s feuding with former pal Rochelle Humes. While there’s no suggestion that the This Morning host, 36, was the ‘other woman’ in question, insiders tell Closer that Myleene believes Rochelle sided with Graham following their split – and our insider says the pair have now had an explosive phone call about it. CLOSE FRIEND Security manager Graham, 51, has been friends with Rochelle since he was a bodyguard for The Saturdays, and he also…

When Tammi Willis does work on the van she is converting, she’s excited to one day travel in it around Europe. Tammi, 49, spent the eight years up to, including some of the pandemic, living around Southeast Asia, and is currently staying in Wiltshire with her dad. She works part-time as a chef, is building an online cooking course business and regularly attends Jiu Jitsu classes. These are all things she says she wouldn’t be able to do if she had a baby in tow. DECLINE Tammi is one of a growing number of people who have chosen to be child-free, and is very happy with her decision. She says, ‘I’ve never experienced that physical need to have a baby, like some women do. I’ve not wavered in my decision,…

For many years, Lorraine Crookes was living a double life. On the surface, she was a quiet, unassuming secondary school teacher and a single mum to her son, Luke. But, on the weekends, her sexually free persona was unleashed when she’d attend the ‘dungeons’ of swinging clubs, using whips, chains and restraints. Although Lorraine’s lifestyle allowed her to explore both sides of herself, the secrecy of her private life took its toll. It was time to make a choice – and it was her saucy side she decided to embrace. Lorraine, 50, who lives in Kent, says, ‘Discovering my sexuality allowed me to explore parts of myself I’d never dared to acknowledge, and it was intoxicating. But I split myself in two, which wore me down. Now, I feel like…

She’s usually the one dishing out the wisdom and revolutionising the love lives – and self-awareness – of the rich and famous, but Anna Williamson says she absorbed as much on the latest series of Celebs Go Dating as the cast. And it’s all thanks to Kerry Katona. With more than enough drama in her personal life, mum-of-five Kerry, 44, has overcome a childhood in the care system, battled against drug addiction, abusive relationships, bankruptcy and a mental health condition. Following the end of her six-year relationship with fiancé Ryan Mahoney last year, Kerry returned to the E4 show this year. And no one was more thrilled to see her again than the show’s resident coach, Anna. She tells Closer, ‘The greatest teachers are always learning. That’s why I love…

KHEIRA: 'Life is joyful again after losing 7st' K heira Ghachi, 55, is a retired teacher from Wilbarston, Northamptonshire. She says, ‘Until my thirties, I felt upbeat and I loved working as a language teacher. But in 2008 I lost my father, then my brother passed away. With my family in my native France, grief hit hard and I’d seek comfort in pizzas and microwave meals. I crept up to a size 20 and, in 2012, I was diagnosed with depression. Arthritis then forced me to retire and, as my self-esteem crumbled, I lost touch with friends. By 2020 I was also on immunosuppressant medication, and constantly exhausted with headaches. In 2021, I had a boost when I became a British citizen. I felt so proud at the ceremony, but I…

If you have money worries you aren’t alone, with new research showing one in four households are struggling to pay their energy bills. ‘Debt rarely happens overnight. It slowly builds up until it suddenly feels overwhelming,’ says Aaron Peake, personal finance expert at CredAbility. Here are some of his tips for clearing it… • PRIORITISE EXPENSIVE DEBT ‘Credit cards, overdrafts and payday loans often have the highest interest rates. Focus on paying these first while keeping up with minimum payments on other debts to avoid extra charges.’ • AVOID MINIMUM PAYMENT TRAPS ‘Paying the minimum on a credit card can take years to clear a balance. An extra £20 a month can save you interest and get you debt-free much faster.’ • SEEK FREE DEBT ADVICE ‘Charities like Money Wellness…
