NEWS After rumours of a secret romance, Junior Andre has finally gone public with his girlfriend Jasmine Orr, and it seems mum Katie Price is very keen to bond with her son's beau. Junior celebrated his 19th birthday last week by sharing a series of sweet snaps of him with Celebs Go Dating star Jasmine, 23, on his social media. Rumours had swirled of Junior's new romance after the star teased he was in a relationship during an Instagram Q&A, saying, “I've got a girl at home.” And with Junior taking his romance with Jasmine to the next level, an insider tells Closer, mum Katie Price, 46, has some grand plans to get the teen bonding with her Married At First Sight boyfriend, JJ Slater, 32. The source reveals, “Katie…

Since Lauryn Goodman revealed in February that she'd had a second child with footballer Kyle Walker, despite him being married to Annie Kilner, it has caused obvious friction with her sisters, Chloe and Amelia. After both Chloe, 31, and Amelia, 25, unfollowed Lauryn, 33, in January, and deleted any images of her from their Instagram, it was reported that the reality star – who shares son Kairo, four, and her newborn daughter with Kyle, 34 – had been uninvited from Chloe's wedding to footballer Grant Hall in Portugal last week. While Chloe was all smiles at the ceremony, Lauryn was spotted looking downcast as she filmed her new reality TV show just five minutes down the road. A spokesperson for Lauryn, whose “mum dancing” video with Chloe (right) went viral…

It emerged last week that she's sold the £4m home she once shared with ex-husband Ant McPartlin.And now insiders say Lisa Armstrong is on a mission to find love again, with sources telling Closer the make-up artist is planning a “man-hunt” girls' trip. After a rocky few years of relationships, including the messy divorce from TV star Ant, 48, it seems Lisa, 47, is finally ready to put herself first. “Lisa is done feeling sorry for herself and wants to get on a plane with her pals and have the time of her life. She has been licking her wounds and laying low for a bit, but now it's time to pick herself up and put herself out there again,” our insider reveals. OPEN TO OFFERS “She's deciding between Spain…

Joining the likes of budding chef Brooklyn Beckham, model Lily-Rose Depp and reality star Gemma Owen, host Roman Kemp's status as a “nepo baby” meant that his career was always going to be scrutinised under the spotlight. But as the son of Spandau Ballet bassistturned-EastEnders star Martin Kemp and Wham! singer Shirlie Kemp, both 62, Roman, 31, says he couldn't be more proud of his famous mum and dad, who he launched the hilarious podcast FFS! My Dad Is Martin Kemp alongside last month. Now he tells Closer, “I love the nepo thing. It's a hot word at the moment. The thing is, if you ask me who I'm most proud of, it's my parents. It hasn't hindered me having parents in the industry, but I'm not even obsessive over…

FIND SUPPORTIVE SWIMWEAR When it comes to buying your summer wardrobe, Lisa believes that it pays to invest in quality swimwear. “For me, the most important thing is getting a well-fitting swimsuit,” she says. “Flattering swimwear, which holds your boobs where they are supposed to be, will give you that extra confidence. If it's good quality and you look after it, you'll have it for years. Invest in a nice cover-up too – you'll find some gorgeous ones in my Debenhams X Wallis collection.” Lisa often wears Melissa Odabash swimwear, and she recommends trying Freya if you have a bigger bust. “I wear size 16 bikini tops, and I don't get hung up on sizes,” she says. “If it fits, it fits.” CHOOSE A BOLD PEDI Nothing says summer quite…

Grandparents will have their own way of looking after children, and as parents we have to respect that – but there has to be compromise. A lot of people worry about things like hygiene, safety and vigilance, but it's really important to tread carefully when it comes to criticising their home or style. Remember that somebody's home is their personal space, whether or not you agree with it. Grandparents come with their own set of values and techniques, which can be in conflict with our own. For example, grandparents might be very disciplinarian and you may be into gentle parenting. Set out your must-haves, which might be around how you discipline your kids, then discuss would-like-to-haves, so, “In an ideal world, we'd like them to eat their vegetables before they…

'ARE THEIR LIVES AS PERFECT AS THEY WOULD LIKE THE WORLD TO BELIEVE?' Despite everything they've faced over the years, Victoria and David Beckham have worked hard to keep their relationship on track and build their brand as a loving couple. But as the pair reach a major milestone in their marriage, an unauthorised biography about their life threatens to derail them. Set to be released this week, The House Of Beckham: Money, Sex & Power by Tom Bower, attempts to answer the question, “Are their lives as perfect as the Beckhams would like the world to believe?” MONEY-OBSESSED And according to sources, Posh, 50, is scared that the book will ruin everything the couple have worked so hard for. They tell Closer, “She just feels she's been through and…

NEWS Telly veteran Kate Garraway could be about to take over the reins at This Morning after ITV bosses reportedly approached her. The current Good Morning Britain presenter, who has been on our morning screens for almost 25 years, has a loyal following and show producers are hoping that could help save the popular daytime show. “This Morning producers really need to shake things up to turn the programme's fortunes around, and Kate would do just that,” a source tells Closer. “Kate is someone who ITV think could really connect and resonate with viewers and there's a real push among many of the producers on This Morning to try to bring her in. “She's been on Good Morning Britain a long time now, but This Morning execs think she would…

When Deborah James was diagnosed with bowel cancer in December 2016, her tumour already measured 6.5cm. Just two months later she was told it had spread to her lungs and her liver and was classed as incurable. Her incredibly courageous reaction was to spread the word, breaking down any stigma associated with talking about toilet habits and tirelessly raising awareness in the hope that other people would be diagnosed earlier as survival rates for stage one bowel cancer are 90 per cent. INCREDIBLE In a heartbreaking interview with Closer three years ago, she said, “If I'd been diagnosed earlier, then it could have been cut out and in all likelihood I would have been fine. But I can't keep dwelling on that. Instead I want to raise awareness and help…

As a long-time fan – and having starred on the show twice – Georgia Harrison has been glued to her screen this season, all the more so due to the fact Joey Essex has been a close pal of 20 years. And reality star Georgia, 29 – who first met Joey aged 10 as their parents are friends – now shares her thoughts on how he's getting on. She says, “I was buzzing when I saw Joey go in – he kept the secret so well! We were arranging to go out in Essex and the next thing I know, he's on Love Island! He's been so funny, dropping bombs and stirring the pot. “But I'm also glad people can see his soft side. Everyone thinks he's a player but…

When Chanelle McAuliffe watched her close friend, Belle Gibson, fall to the floor convulsing at her son's birthday party, she frantically shouted for someone to call an ambulance. But before anyone could do so, Belle had miraculously recovered from her seizure and was shunning any intervention of Western medicine. For the year prior, mum-of-one Belle had established a lucrative wellness brand based on claims she'd cured her terminal cancer solely through healthy eating. But now, Chanelle felt certain her friend was actually conning millions and profiting from the scam. Chanelle, 36, says, “There had been red flags, but this was the final straw. Belle had recovered quickly from something so violent and traumatic. I felt sick to my stomach. Something wasn't right, and I was determined to uncover the truth.”…

Love dramas THE LATEST HOOK-UPS, MAKE-UPS AND BREAK-UPS Despite dating for less than a year, rocker Matty Healy is engaged to model Gabbriette Bechtel. The pair announced the exciting news on Instagram last week, with Gabbriette, 26, sharing a picture of herself wearing a ring consisting of a huge black gem surrounded by diamonds on her left hand with the caption, “MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT”. The comment is in reference to the fact that the pair had recently attended their mutual friend Charli XCX's Brat show in Brooklyn. Charli got engaged to The 1975 drummer George Daniel last November. Matty's mum, Loose Women star Denise Welch, confirmed her son's engagement on the show the following day, saying, “I obviously have known for a few weeks that Matty got…

NEWS Unluck-in-love star Sheridan Smith is on the hunt for a new man, Closer can reveal. The actress, 42, posted the exact same inspirational quote as Lisa Armstrong did on her Instagram account last week. And now insiders say that following some rocky romances in the past, she's now dipping her toe in the dating pool once again. BLIND DATES “Sheridan's making no secret of the fact that she wants a man, but she also doesn't want to settle or fall into any kind of toxic relationship,” a source tells us. “She's found it really hard looking for love on dating apps as someone in the public eye – so she's hoping to meet someone more organically. “She's told pals she's open to being set up and going on blind…

Since Gypsy Rose Blanchard was realesed from prison last year after serving seven and a half years of a decade-long sentence for her role in the murder of her mother, Dee Dee, she has found herself in the glare of the spotlight. Now she is starring in a new Crime+Investigation series, Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup, where viewers can see what she's been up to since her release – and what's next for her following a troubled life. Gypsy Rose says, “I've been out of prison for five months now – in that time, a lot has happened. It has been a bit of a challenge. And it's honestly because I didn't expect to come out to this level of attention. It's been quite overwhelming and something that I didn't…

I used to say the dating world was like a carousel – it often felt like I was going round and round in circles with the same scenarios. But now I can only liken it to a centrifuge, a confusing mash of behaviour from all sides. The latest development in heterosexual dating has (like all new trends) emerged on TikTok and has been given the hashtag #boysober. My understanding of it is that it's a detox process of all things romance-related, everything from exes and hook-ups to dates and apps – it's about being 100 per cent single in all its guises. It's claimed the reason for the mass exodus is that apps have turned toxic due to abusive behaviour, fraud and worse. They've been this way for a while,…

Only got hand luggage? Mike Harvey, Managing Director at 1st Move International, describes how to fit everything in and avoid extra charges! • FOLD NEATLY Marie Kondo's organising method, the KonMari technique, involves folding clothes into compact rectangles that can stand upright in your suitcase. This not only saves space but also makes it easier to see and access each item without messing up the rest. • VACUUM SEAL Vacuum seal bags compress bigger items like jackets and jumpers into flat packages. Place your clothes inside the bag, seal it and use a vacuum cleaner to remove the air. • FILL YOUR SHOES Stuff socks, underwear and electronics like shavers inside your shoes.

Geri Halliwell-Horner made a very bold statement last week when she referred to herself in a video for a Dior fashion campaign as “Geri Halliwell”. The Spice Girl had double-barrelled her maiden name when she married F1 boss Christian Horner back in 2015. But following the recent scandals around their marriage, sources now tell Closer this is Geri's way of claiming her identity back and removing herself from the drama. “Geri has opened her eyes to just how unprepared she'd be if her marriage were to break down. She's decided she needs to get her 'pre-Horner' identity back and separate herself from being Christian's wife in the public eye,” our insider reveals. “She's ensuring that she's always got her identity as the star she was before their marriage, if things…

Khloé Kardashian has shocked followers with her appearance on the new series of The Kardashians – with many speculating that she's had more work done on her nose. Ever since she came into the spotlight with her famous family, fans have watched the 39-year-old's face and body change drastically, leading to a barrage of plastic surgery claims. CHANGING FACE And when The Kardashians returned to our screens last month, viewers were quick to notice the star's appearance had altered once again. “Khloé looks unrecognisable in the interview sessions with all the plastic surgery she has gotten”, one fan commented, with another posting, “Her nose is way too small for her face now, even with the insane amount of lip filler she's gotten to try to lessen the gap between mouth…

Bowel cancer is a broad term for cancer that begins in the large bowel, made up of the colon and rectum. It's more common in people over 50, but can happen at any age. SYMPTOMS OF BOWEL CANCER CAN INCLUDE: • Bleeding from your bottom and/or blood in your poo • A persistent and unexplained change in bowel habit • Unexplained weight loss • Extreme tiredness for no obvious reason • A pain or lump in your tummy It's important to know that most people with these symptoms don't have bowel cancer. Other health problems can cause similar symptoms. But if you have any of these, or if things just don't feel right, go to see your GP. You may need to visit your doctor more than once if your…

When star of hit reality show Charlot The Traitors Charlotte Chilton took to Instagram to claim she was pregnant with singer Conor Maynard's baby, it stunned fans. Charlotte, 33, shared, “I decided that the best thing is to always be open and honest. Essentially I have not named the father in protection of him. I'm prepared to do this alone, but I'm not prepared to have my daughter have to grow up and not be able to say who her father is, or should I say, birth father, or hide it from her. She deserves to know where she comes from. I'm not a secret, she's not a dirty secret. I won't be silenced.” Conor, 31, and Charlotte reportedly met at a Traitors party through series two winner Harry Clark…

Fans have enjoyed watching her develop from a drama-loving 19-year-old on The Valleys into a glamorous mum of two, so Lateysha Grace's followers were delighted by her announcement last week that she is engaged. Taking care to keep her mystery boyfriend's face hidden, Lateysha, 31, shared a sweet video of his proposal on Instagram, writing, “Still in a bubble. The most amazing, magical day and soo worth the wait. I said yes to the love of my life! I'm so grateful and thankful to god for these blessings in life.” Celeb pals were quick to share their congratulations, with Love Islander Shaughna Phillips commenting, “My heart!

When Lindsey Mungall learnt her twin sister was moving thousands of miles away, she made a monumental decision to up-sticks and join her in her new life. Giving up everything, she flew across an ocean to share a home with her sister, Jenny, and Jenny's husband, Jeff. And when Lindsey later met her husband-to-be, the four of them maintained the same tight-knit living arrangement by moving all together into a bigger place. Despite their families expanding and their fears that they may have to live away from each other, the devoted twins had a remarkable stroke of luck and bought side-by-side houses that were on the market in London at the same time. IDENTICAL Lindsey says, “I couldn't bear to be apart from my sister, so we came up with…

“Everything about this recipe is enjoyable and a feast for the eyes. I recommend using whole king prawns – the heads and shells just help to carry more flavour.” SUSANA VILLASUSO'S MISO AND MEZCAL PRAWNS STEP 1 Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan, add the onion and fry over a medium heat for 6-7 mins until translucent.

CLOSER NUTRITIONIST JULIETTE KELLOW SAYS: “Nisha enjoys many foods we may be less familiar with. Experimenting with ingredients is a great way to keep meals interesting.

Life balance WELLBEING RELATIONSHIPS YOUR GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL ISSUES & FAMILY LIFE WITH COUNSELLOR, PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND LIFE COACH ANNA WILLIAMSON It's perfectly normal for sexual desire to shift in a relationship as you evolve. The honeymoon period is exciting, with lots of dopamine, adrenaline, serotonin and oxytocin being fired off. As everything is fresh and heightened, we feel more aroused, but when familiarity creeps in and we start to see our partner's less “perfect” sides, we have to work harder to promote the attraction. If you aren't finding your partner as attractive, actively tune in to what you do find attractive. Attraction is about so much more than aesthetics; sense of humour, kindness, energy, generosity and intellect all matter too. Perhaps your partner has gained a lot of weight and you find them…
