Katie Price has left fans concerned yet again following a recent Instagram upload which saw her looking thinner than ever as she modelled a burgundy tracksuit. Grinning as she walked toward the camera, the 46-year-old sparked fears among fans who flocked to the post's comments section to share their worries. Many noted how the former glamour model looked 'frail' and 'unwell' in the short clip, with others asking her to get help, saying that their comments were coming 'from a place of love'. Now a source tells Closer that Katie is not only ignoring the concerns, but instead is shockingly planning even more surgery to get rid of 'baggy skin' after her recent weight loss following her split from ex-fiancé Carl Woods. The source says, 'Katie's lost over three stone…

'IT'S LIKE SHE'S BUILT HER WHOLE WORLD AROUND HIM AND IT'S WORRYING FRIENDS' After seven years at Manchester City, it was reported over the weekend that footballer Kyle Walker is eyeing up a relocation to Italy – largely in a bid to repair his marriage with Annie Kilner. And with the Premier League star poised to transfer to Italian club AC Milan, insiders tell Closer that Lauryn Goodman – who has two children with the footballer – has been left riled by the news of his overseas move. RESPONSIBILITIES A source close to the influencer – who has Kairo, four, and 18-month-old Kinara with Kyle – says, 'Lauryn can't believe Kyle's even considering moving to Italy – this move has come as a huge shock to her. It isn't just…

The Strictly Curse has seemingly struck again as it's been reported that Love Island's Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page have broken up after two-and-a-half years together. An insider has said, 'Tasha was madly in love with Andrew, but the cracks started to show when she appeared on Strictly. Her focus was purely on her dances, and that drove a wedge between them as time went by.' Tasha, 26, and Andrew, 29, first met on Love Island in 2022, and went on to move in together, adopt a dog and buy a house in January 2023. As Closer went to press, the couple had neither confirmed nor denied the rumours, but Tasha had reportedly been spotted on celebrity dating app Raya.…

It's a difficult time if you're a Jessica in Hollywood as both actress Jessica Alba and singer Jessica Simpson are currently navigating the breakdown of their respective marriages. Jessica Alba, 43, has reportedly separated from her husband of 16 years, Cash Warren – with whom she shares daughters Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and son Hayes, six. The pair originally met on the set of The Fantastic Four in 2004 and while neither Jessica nor Cash, 46, have confirmed the news, last week the actress was spotted shopping in LA without her wedding ring. Meanwhile, mum-of-three Jessica Simpson, 44, confirmed her separation from husband of 10 years and former NFL player Eric Johnson, 45. Jessica – who shares daughters Maxwell Drew, 12, and Birdie Mae, five, and son Ace Knute, 11,…

When Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury split last summer, speculation ran rife about what went wrong. And now, after a New Year's Eve kiss had fans scratching their heads about the state of their relationship, the Love Island stars, both 25, are both finally having their say. Days before the first three episodes of Molly-Mae's tell-all Prime Video documentary, Behind It All, launched, her former fiancé got ahead of the rumours in an interview with Men's Health. There, boxer Tommy said that it was his 'problem' with alcohol – and not the cheating rumours that were swirling after the split – that had caused the end of their relationship. And when the documentary dropped on Friday, mum-of-one Molly-Mae – who has been supported by fellow Islander and BFF Maura Higgins…

ECHINACEA IS MY TRAVEL ESSENTIAL… Echinacea is my must-have if I feel the faintest tickle in my throat – it's my first line of defence. Hydration is also key. I'm never without my oversized two-litre water bottle, even if it looks a bit extra! I PRIORITISE QUALITY REST… These days, I aim to have dinner early around 6.30pm and avoid eating too close to bedtime. A hot shower or bath about two hours before lights out helps me unwind, and I'm strict about avoiding screen time after 9pm. WELLNESS STARTS WITH SIMPLICITY… I don't overcomplicate things. A good multivitamin or a morning Berocca sets me up for the day, and I stick to a balanced diet to keep my body happy. I'm big on gut health too, so I include…

'Homemade hummus is ridiculously easy to make with canned chickpeas, and tastes so much better than the stuff you buy in the supermarket.' SPUD MAN'S THE HUMMUS ONE STEP 1 Make the red pepper hummus. Cut the chargrilled peppers and place into a food processor or blender. Add most of the chickpeas, the tahini, garlic and lemon juice, and blitz to a coarse purée. STEP 2 Add a little of the reserved chickpea liquid and blitz until you end up with a slightly grainy mixture that isn't too smooth, runny or stiff. Stir in the harissa gradually – it's very fiery, so don't add it all at once. STEP 3 Cut a big cross in the top of each spud and press gently on the sides to open it up.…

Fans were left scratching their heads after several recent reports claimed that Ferne McCann and her fiancé Lorri Haines had called it quits – spurred on by Ferne not wearing her engagement ring for weeks and tense arguments on their ITVBe reality show My Family & Me. Now, after denying the reports, Ferne insists to Closer that she and Lorri are better than ever. She even confesses that her close friend Vicky Pattison's nuptials back in August have made the pair more excited than ever to tie the knot, although their wedding has been put on the back burner as she's skating up a storm on Dancing On Ice with professional partner Brendyn Hatfield. Her stint on the show has been something of a comeback for the mum-of-two after the…

Although Love Island All Stars has only just kicked off, there's already been enough dramatic moments to fill a season— namely when exes Marcel Somerville, 39, and Gabby Allen, 32, came face-to-face on day one. However, as Closer went to press, viewers saw Marcel grow closer to 29-year-old Olivia Hawkins. Now, his pal JJ Anisiobi shares his thoughts on who he thinks Marcel will couple up with. How do you think Marcel is getting on so far? I was worried after the first episode. It felt like, behind closed doors, Gabby was saying everything was cool and giving him a hug, but then she was slagging him off and giving him a hard time in front of the girls. She was also saying to the girls that she thought he…

It's already proved to be a fruitful year, with celebs revealing their happy baby news! Following in the footsteps of her former Little Mix bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson has revealed that she is expecting twins with partner Zion Foster. Jesy, 33, and Zion, 26, have been dating on and off since January 2022, following Jesy's high-profile relationships with Diversity member Jordan Banjo in 2012, Rixton singer Jake Roche from 2014 to 2016 and Love Island's Chris Hughes from 2019 to 2020. And in other exciting baby news, Coronation Street's Lucy Fallon has welcomed her second child – a baby girl whose name has not yet been revealed – with boyfriend of over four years Ryan Ledson. Lucy, 29, and Ryan, 27, are already parents to son, Sonny Jude.…

Joe Swash and his wife Stacey Solomon have another busy year ahead. Not only are they juggling being parents to six children between them with work, the couple – who tied the knot in 2022 – are throwing open the doors to their Essex home, affectionately known as Pickle Cottage, to star in their own BBC reality show. So, it's no wonder the father-of-four – who shares son Rex, five, and daughters Rose, four, and Belle, one, with former X Factor star Stacey, and is dad to son Harry, 17, from a previous relationship – is looking for a quick fix when it comes to dinner time. 'We're a busy family,' Joe – who recently made a brief return to EastEnders – tells Closer. 'We've got kids of different ages,…

On 7 January, 14 year old Kelyan Bokassa was stabbed to death on a London bus in broad daylight. He was on his way to meet his social worker. His mum, Mary Bokassa, 50, revealed her son had lived on the streets in London for a year where he was groomed by gangs from the age of just six and was 'exposed to drugs'. She said she was traumatised and shocked by his death, but not surprised, adding that she asked for help and tried to prevent him from associating with gangs but did not receive support from the authorities. She said, 'I feel hurt because I tried to prevent it. I've tried so many, so many times. I screamed it, I said “my son is going to be killed”.'…

She's no stranger to plastic surgery, having gone under the knife for three boob jobs, including an uplift last month, a Brazilian bum lift, liposuction, as well as numerous procedures to her face, but Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace readily admits her latest quest for perfection nearly cost her her life. The star, who found fame on Big Brother in 2006, reveals she resorted to buying slimming injections online in a bid to lose weight after being in a 'dark place' last year, but experienced her worst nightmare when the suspected counterfeit jabs left her with blurred vision, violent sickness and fearing she was at 'death's door.' DESPERATE SITUATION Aisleyne, 45, tells Closer, 'Last year was so tough, I lost my best friend, Femi, who was as good as family, and my nephew…

Jules Von Hep has spent over 17 years tanning clients and, in the process, he's learned to love his own body. 'I've worked with Victoria's Secret models, Hollywood actors, A-list celebrities and many people not in the public eye, and almost every single person apologises about one part of their appearance before a spray tan,' he reveals.

Tune in to Closer's pick of the telly everyone's talking about You previously explored Florida with your mum when she worked as a travel agent. How did it feel to step into her shoes and show Aidan the ropes this time around? It was lovely. It really highlights the circle of life, doesn't it? What you experience as a child, you naturally want to pass on to your own children. Florida was such a big part of my life, so I want to share that with Aidan. You and Aidan have such a lovely relationship, but were you worried that a teenager wouldn't find it cool to travel with his mum? Not at all! He absolutely loves it. The other day, he was saying how much fun we have together – I…

Auditions for Britain's Got Talent have already kicked off in Blackpool but rumours are already swirling around this year's judges, with some insiders wondering if this could be Amanda Holden's final year on one of TV's biggest talent show panels. According to a show source, Amanda, 53 – whose star rose even further last year following a trail of huge TV gigs – is ready to move on and focus on new challenges. They say, 'Amanda is very ambitious, and with her TV shows with Alan Carr being such hits, she feels she's now ready to mirror the success of TV hosts like Holly Willoughby and Claudia Winkleman. She's eager to land a spot on This Morning as one of the show's permanent hosts, although she has made it clear…

They delighted their combined 9.3 million Instagram followers last month with the exciting news that they are expecting a baby. And as Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan prepare for their new arrival, insiders tell Closer that the famous couple have been offered a lucrative TV opportunity to capture their journey to becoming first-time parents. But the source reveals that Mark, 38, and Michelle, 37, have different stances on it at present, saying, 'Michelle is feeling really torn about letting cameras in her home as she prepares to become a mother, as she feels like they should hold some things back for themselves. She sees herself as an actress and, in her mind, this is a step into reality TV which she has turned her nose up at in the past,…

Cennet Lo had never felt comfortable in her own skin, and particularly struggled with her stomach after becoming a mum. Wanting more confidence, she decided she would save up and go under the knife in Turkey. But horror struck when she woke up mid-surgery – and the nightmare had only just begun. Her body didn't heal, and Cennet contracted sepsis and was worried she would die. Now, after a series of botched corrective surgeries, Cennet has been told her stomach will never be the same again. She says, 'Every time I look at my naked body, I burst into tears. My tummy is covered in scars, and I don't have a belly button anymore. I wish I could turn back time.' Early in 2024, Cennet ran into a friend who…

It came as a surprise to no one when cheeky chappie Ronnie Vint, 28, gravitated towards TOWIE's Elma Pazar, 31, when the doors to the Love Island All Stars villa opened for a new series. However, 30-year-old Kaz Crossley quickly threw a spanner in the works and turned Ronnie's head, much to the annoyance of Elma's BFF, Harry Derbidge. Here, the TOWIE star tells Closer why he's wary of Ronnie breaking Elma's heart. Do you think Elma and Ronnie make a good match? I don't know, my opinion changed. I honestly think out of all the boys that are in there at the moment, she was paired up perfectly with Ronnie, because Elma likes a little cheeky chap. She likes someone fun, and I think Ronnie is that kind of…

Newly-single actress Sofia Vergara has been spotted on a date with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. Sofia, 52, and Lewis, 40, were photographed laughing while having a two-hour lunch together in New York last week, sparking rumours that the pair are now dating. The mum-of-one – who has son Manolo, 32, from a relationship with her childhood sweetheart – was married to actor Joe Manganiello from 2015 until 2024. She then went on to date orthopaedic surgeon Justin Saliman in 2024 but revealed their split earlier this month. Meanwhile Lewis has been linked to several famous faces since his split from on/off girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger in 2015, including Shakira and Winnie Harlow.…

When Joyceline Soriano received an unusual order from a customer, she could never have imagined it would lead to true love. Joyceline ran a successful crochet clothing business when in 2022, a man called Dino requested to buy dresses – for his three girlfriends. The unusual request sparked a conversation between them, and what started off friendly soon became flirty. And when they met in person, Dino told Joyceline she was The One and after dumping his other girlfriends, the pair wed. Joyceline, 27, says, 'I'm very open-minded and didn't judge when Dino told me about his three girlfriends. I was just intrigued! Even though he is 29 years older than me, Dino is the most amazing man I've ever met. People make negative comments and assumptions about our relationship…

How much do you spend? About £250 a week. I'm a terrible feeder – I'm always dropping food on people's doorsteps and having people over. About £30 of that is dog food too. I live in my local Sainsbury's – I even bought them Christmas gifts! It's my happy place, I'm in there most days and everyone is so friendly.

Thursday is chippy night, and then the rest of the week I make things like cottage…

This really worries me; this podcast has millions of listeners, and Steven Bartlett is an educated man, so it's incredibly disappointing that he's allowing guests to make false claims on his podcast largely unchallenged, according to a BBC investigation. If you have millions of listeners, you have real influence and you should make sure that what you're putting out is accurate. He's getting quite a lot of flak now, but even when sensible places like the BBC raise concerns about the nonsense being spouted on the podcast, he'll probably get more listeners rather than fewer, which is depressing. SHOCK TACTICS Out of 23 health-related episodes of his podcast, the BBC investigation says 15 contained potentially harmful claims, including anti-vaccine conspiracies, claims that PCOS and autism can be reversed with diet,…

SET GOALS, NOT RESOLUTIONS January is a month riddled with resolutions, but Jules feels passionately that we should set goals instead. In fact, every January he runs a workshop on how to set goals that stick. 'A resolution is something you wish to resolve or change about yourself, usually something you don't like. They are outdated, pessimistic and pointless in my opinion!' he says. 'A goal is something you work towards achieving, and they're a brilliant way to work towards reaching a place you want to be.'

How did it feel stepping into the Detective Inspector shoes for the first time? I'm sure it won't be a surprise to say that it was both exciting and terrifying in equal measure. I liken it to one of those scary rides at a theme park. I'm going on it, and I know it's going to be scary, but I'm going to do it anyway. You're daring yourself. Then you sit in the seat going, 'What have I just let myself in for?!' But it was exciting because I knew I was embarking on this new journey. You appeared in Death In Paradise in series four as a different character. Do you remember much about it? It was a long time ago now, but I certainly remember enjoying it! I remember…
