Few lives have unfolded in public quite like Katie Price's. For more than two decades, we've watched her dizzying highs and devastating lows, captivated by a woman who has never done anything by halves. I first met Katie as a junior reporter nearly 20 years ago. She was electric – bold, brassy, quick with a joke and always performing. Yet even then, beyond the bravado, there was a vulnerability that felt strikingly human. I saw it again in Ibiza with her in 2009, just after her split from Peter Andre. Amid the ‘wild girls’ trip’ headlines, she still spoke of him as the love of her life. That heartbreak marked the beginning of a turbulent chapter in a romantic history that has so often defined her story. In our exclusive this…

The CPS introduced the VRR in 2013 after public concern around prosecutorial decision making and victim treatment. It's a legal right, allowing victims to challenge certain CPS decisions – such as when charges aren't brought against a defendant or a case is dropped. It means a second prosecutor will look into the case and decide whether the original decision was correct. The right extends to victims of any crime. • For more information, go to makeyourselfheard.org…

When Lucie Nanami woke up on the morning of her wedding day, she felt the traditional combination of nerves and excitement. After a luxurious breakfast of fruit and croissants, she headed into hair and make-up, before walking down the aisle to her future wife. Only, this wasn't a conventional wedding – because her new spouse was a fictional character! OBSESSED While her parents and real-life girlfriend watched on Zoom, Lucie tied the knot with Mami Nanami – a character from the Japanese animé show Rent-a-Girlfriend. Lucie, 24, says, ‘Though the wedding wasn't legally binding, I do feel spiritually tied to Mami. She's been a major part of my life for five years now, and I wanted to do something to symbolise my commitment to her. People might find my situation…

Tom Holland and Zendaya have sparked speculation that they have secretly tied the knot, after she was spotted wearing a gold band on her ring finger instead of her engagement ring while out and about in Beverly Hills. One fan wrote, ‘OMG she's a wifey’. The couple, who first met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, got engaged in December 2024. Zendaya, 29, has spoken of their desire for privacy, saying, ‘Neither of us want to hide and not live our lives and do normal things, like go out for dinner, but at the same time, we want to protect our privacy.’…

How much do you spend? Around £60 per week for myself, but if I'm recipe planning it can be more. I like to shop at M&S and Waitrose. For alternative, specific ingredients, I go to Sainsbury's. It's easy to get carried away so lists are very important to me and I'm strict about that. I make my own bread to bring the costs down. Describe your daily diet… For breakfast, I'll have an egg for protein with a coffee, and a piece of toast when I fancy it. I always make sure the bread I eat is sugar-free. For lunch, I'll have a salad or a homemade soup with leftover root veg. I'll also have my go-to beans on toast, which is packed full of protein and fibre and is…

MOTHER'S DAY SPECIAL…

‘THE MORE THEY SHOW THEIR UNITY, THE MORE IT SEEMS TO PUSH BROOKLYN AWAY’ The Beckhams marked youngest son Cruz's 21st with a ‘raucous’ Beatles-themed birthday bash. But even with the music and toasts in full swing, one absence stood out - eldest brother Brooklyn, who is currently embroiled in a tense feud with his family. Now, a source says that Brooklyn, 26, didn't feel he was missing out, instead seeing the party as ‘orchestrated’. ‘Brooklyn didn't get an invite to Cruz's party,’ reveals our insider. ‘He feels they've just done another big show of a united family. He wasn't invited and he didn't want to go. He thinks Cruz is getting the same treatment of being controlled, just like he was. ‘This party was another carefully orchestrated Brand Beckham…

There's been yet more tension surrounding the rumoured relationship between Dan Edgar and former TOWIE star Chloe Lewis, after reports emerged that Dan has been getting close to his ex, Ella Rae Wise. The shock claims come as Chloe, 35, has been going through a deeply upsetting time after her six-year-old son, Beau, was involved in a traumatic accident last week that left him with a severed finger. In a heartbreaking caption, she wrote, ‘After receiving the dreaded phone call that no parent ever wants to receive, I was told Beau had been in a terrible accident. He fell over ice skating & someone ran over his finger with their bladed skates, which took his finger off.’ HUGE ROW On top of that agonising news, Chloe is dealing with claims…

Tensions between exes Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans have escalated, after he accused her of trying to damage his career by threatening to ‘Amber Heard’ him, in a reference to the actress’ allegations against Johnny Depp. The former husband and wife came face-to-face last week, as his attempt to renew a restraining order against her ended in an LA court. Ioan, 52, revealed, ‘She said she was going to destroy me and she was going to “Amber Heard” me. She accused me of being a child molester, a paedophile and a drug addict. She said I was out of my mind on sex and drugs and millennials.’ Since they broke up in 2021, the Fantastic Four actor and Alice, 57, have had a bitter and messy split, and he filed…

When Emma Webber dropped her son off at university in September 2022, she was excited for him to begin the next stage of his life. But following a night out at the end of his first year, Barnaby was savagely murdered in Nottingham in the early hours of 13 June 2023. Valdo Calocane stabbed and killed Barnaby, 19, as well as fellow University of Nottingham student Grace O'Malley-Kumar, 19, and Ian Coates, 65. Calocane, who is diagnosed as schizophrenic, was sentenced to a high-security hospital order after admitting manslaughter by diminished responsibility in January 2024. But Emma, 53, has fought tirelessly for justice, and there is currently an ongoing statutory inquiry which will examine the systemic failures of mental health and police services in Nottingham. She says, ‘Calocane should not…

From the moment Vanessa Inyiri found out she was going to be a mum, she knew she would spoil her daughter Rebecca rotten and treat her to the finer things in life. Vanessa and husband Kingsley imported a cot from Italy costing over £500 and, when their baby girl finally made her entrance, she was dressed in designer labels including Gucci babygrows, and was pushed around in a £1,200 Silver Cross pram, popular with celebs and royalty. The VIP treatment hasn't stopped since and, recently, the parents from Milton Keynes splashed out a staggering £19,000 on Rebecca's fifth birthday bash to ensure their little princess had a day to remember. Vanessa says, ‘Seeing that huge smile on her face at the end of the day made all the weeks of…

1 THE SKINCARE PRODUCTS I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ARE… Olay's Regenerist Cream & Serum. I've loved it for a really long time. My mum's used it for years and it has trickled down the family. 2 SKINCARE IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME… I don't like to wear a lot of make-up, and if your skin isn't right, it will be harder to cover up any blemishes. 3 I'M MUCH STRICTER ABOUT MY ROUTINE NOW I'M IN MY 40S… The second I get home, I wash my face and put on my serum and moisturiser.

I LOVE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE WORKOUTS… They're so easy and put your body into a really good metabolic state. My friend recommended them to me and I'm trying to make it part of my routine. COLD WATER EXPOSURE IS GREAT… I go to purpose-built ponds near my house and do a sauna for 10 minutes and then take a cold dip. It's absolutely life-affirming. I have a tub that I use at home, too. Once you get the buzz, the feeling is so addictive. I MEDITATE EVERY SINGLE NIGHT… I use an app called Insight Timer. There is a 24-minute meditation on the app called deep healing, and I can never make it to the end of it because I always fall asleep. It's so good and hypnotic. • Watch Emmerdale…

Tying the knot within just days of meeting in January, Katie Price's whirlwind romance with new husband Lee Andrews set alarm bells ringing from the very beginning. The former glamour model, 47, said it was ‘wedding at first sight’ with Dubai-based businessman Lee, 43 – and the pair had matching tattoos and bought rings for each other ‘without even meeting’ after connecting online. Since then, the 100mph relationship has continued to hit headlines – with many of Lee's exes branding him a ‘liar, a narcissist and a manipulator’. One even claimed Lee had hoodwinked her into handing over £123,000 to invest in his company. As she flew home from Dubai last week, Katie's horrified family were believed to be planning to stage an ‘intervention’. Lee stayed in the UAE as…

When Jade Blue McCrossen-Nethercott's rape case was closed days before trial in 2020, it exposed a glaring failure in the way sex crimes are prosecuted. When Closer last spoke to Jade in 2022, she was in the process of suing the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) – a claim she has since won. Since then, Jade, 33, has founded Make Yourself Heard, an online platform dedicated to uniting survivors and giving them a voice. Their first campaign, Right To Be Reviewed, has resulted in a new Victims’ Right To Review (VRR) pilot, which will allow survivors to request a review of their case before it is dropped. Jade says, ‘It would have been beneficial to have this improved pilot scheme in place before my case was closed. The pilot being expanded…

She made a name for herself after winning Love Island in 2022 with ex-boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti – but three years later, Ekin-Su Culculoglu found herself searching for love again in the famous villa. The second series of Love Island: All Stars led to her pairing up with Curtis Pritchard – though their relationship lasted only three months. TENSION & JEALOUSY Now, Ekin-Su, 31, tells Closer she's searching for a non-famous beau, after finding relationships in the public eye increasingly difficult to navigate. ‘You have to be careful who you trust, especially when it comes to your love life. It becomes more difficult to date someone. I don't really want to date in the public eye because they might want clout. I want to date someone normal, but then what if…

Newly-single Jesy Nelson became emotional as she posted a sweet photo of her nine-month-old twin daughters holding hands. The touching moment came after the former Little Mix star was reduced to tears when Ocean Jade and Story Monroe received their new specialist feeding chairs – a poignant reminder of the challenges they continue to face following their diagnosis with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) type 1. ‘I couldn't help but burst into tears when I saw them. It just made me feel so sad as it's just another reminder of another obstacle we have to tackle,’ she said. Jesy, 34, shares the twins with her ex-fiancé, Zion Foster, 27. She has become a patron for SMA UK.…

Fans got a glimpse into Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash's relationship last week when she awkwardly called him while he appeared on a morning radio show. Stacey, 36, could be heard asking Joe, 44, ‘Have you got five minutes?’ until she realised she was live on air and quickly said, ‘Love you, bye,’ before hanging up. Joe – who was promoting his new show, Batch From Scratch: Cooking For Less – told host Amanda Holden that his wife only calls at that hour when he's in trouble, leaving him racking his brain over what he might have done wrong. CLASHING Now, sources tell Closer that the encounter may reflect deeper issues in their marriage, with Joe sometimes feeling a lack of support from Stacey. ‘It didn't even cross Stacey's mind…

‘THIS IS THE MOST VULNERABLE SHE'S AGREED TO BE’ She's been giving fans a greater glimpse into her life online, as reports suggest that Holly Willoughby is preparing for her much-anticipated return. In recent weeks, the former This Morning presenter has filled her Instagram grid with almost daily posts about her latest ski holiday, self-care and her beloved pets. Sources tell Closer that after a series of TV setbacks, she's taking charge of her own career with the help of her producer husband Dan Baldwin. ‘Holly and Dan are developing a fly-on-the-wall documentary series through their production company, Hungry Bear,’ says our insider. ‘It would follow Holly's double life – capturing her at home and at work – as well as the quieter in-between moments, as she works to rebuild…

She recently announced she's expecting her first child with boyfriend Anthony Quinlan – and as she poses with her blossoming bump, Nikki Sanderson has even more to celebrate, revealing exclusively to Closer that she's having a baby boy. And although she insists she'd have been thrilled regardless of the gender, she confesses she had a tiny inkling it might be a boy. EGG FREEZING Nikki, 41, tells Closer, ‘Anthony and I always said that we didn't mind what we were having as long as our baby is healthy. There was no, “I'd love this or that” – we were just over the moon. But subconsciously, I always felt like I was going to be a boy mum and my family said the same. Whenever I thought about motherhood, I just…

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPIC OF THE WEEK When I heard James had died from bowel cancer, it brought back some painful memories; one of my old best friends from school also died from the same disease at the age of just 34. She had recently got married and had a baby, so it felt horribly unfair. It's not uncommon for younger people to get cancer, or – like my friend and James – to die from the disease. But bowel cancer rates are increasing in younger people, which isn't what we'd usually expect. WHY ARE RATES GOING UP? Various studies have found bowel cancer, also called colorectal cancer, is on the rise in younger adults around the world. Traditionally, this type of cancer is…
