Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's future in the US has been thrown into uncertainty following the recent re-election of Donald Trump, with Harry now facing the risk of deportation. And as they plan for what may be their final Christmas in their Montecito home, a source reveals that they want to make it as memorable as possible for their children, meaning they won't be travelling back to the UK.

NEWS She has sparked concern owing to her recent weight loss, in addition to showing off the ‘biggest lips she's ever had’ as part of her conveyor belt of surgery. And now, insiders say that Katie Price's body is notably struggling with the toll of it all. ‘Katie's extreme reduced calorie intake is causing a host of problems, especially as she is perimenopausal,’ says the source. ‘She's experiencing joint inflammation, slow healing and bone deficiencies, plus arthritis. She is essentially speed-ageing her body without realising it. ‘Katie is on a mission and won't stop until she has reached her PB, even saying she and [her daughter] Princess will be able to wear the same outfits. She's trying to turn back the clock, not just with surgical enhancements but with weight…

As these kebabs fry, they becomes crispy and delicious. They can be eaten as is or stacked in burger buns with your salad and condiments of choice. DAN TOOMBS'S CHICKEN CHAPLI KEBABS STEP 1 Place the minced chicken in a large mixing bowl with all the remaining ingredients, except for the sliced tomato and oil. Mix well with your hands so that everything is well combined. Leave to marinate for 8hr or overnight or just carry on with the recipe. The longer marinating time will benefit the end dish. STEP 2 Divide the chicken mixture into 8 equal-sized balls (each about 75g). Flatten lightly with a spatula and press a slice of tomato or two into each patty. Then flatten some more to secure the tomato in the meat. Heat…

Think you need to do gruelling gym sessions or run for miles to make a difference to your health? What if we told you that doing as little as five extra minutes of exercise a day could lower your blood pressure? Not only that – this ‘exercise’ could be as simple as walking uphill or climbing the stairs. In a study, just five minutes a day of this kind of activity made a difference, while 20-27 minutes per day, including walking uphill, stair-climbing, running and cycling, made a significant difference. Given high blood pressure is one of the biggest health issues globally – left unchecked, it can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney damage, plus it's hard to spot – this is great news! So, if you think…

GARY KEMP: ‘It was the greatest day ever’ The Spandau Ballet star, 65, on making musical history What are your memories of that day? I vividly remember saying to the others, ‘This is the greatest day ever,’ which was a strange contradiction, as we were making a record for famine in Ethiopia, which is a cause that was horrific, but at the same time we were having great fun doing it. How did Sir Bob Geldof approach you to be part of it? HE SAID, ‘Do you think if I got everybody together, like you, Duran Duran and Sting – we could make a major record and raise money?’ Did you agree straight away? I SAID, ‘ Yeah, sounds like a great idea, Bob,’ but actually I was thinking it…

After the huge success of her husband's awardnominated Netflix docuseries, it was announced in August that Victoria Beckham would take the helm of her own project with the streamer. But with production underway, insiders tell Closer that the fashion designer already fears that she's overstepped the mark with what she's spilled to the camera, especially where David is concerned. The source says, ‘David and Vic are constantly ribbing each other and sharing their great sense of humour with fans on social media. But Vic feels panicked after confessing to pals a few of the things she's joked about relating to David on-camera while filming her Netflix show. She worries that she may have gone too far and he will end up with a bruised ego after watching it. THIN-SKINNED ‘Obviously,…

She's already conquered the Olympic Games, so it's no surprise that Montell Douglas is smashing it on the Strictly dance floor. The 38-year-old star, also known as Fire to Gladiators fans, has four medals for bobsleighing and formerly held the record for the 100 metres sprint – and now she's hoping to add winning the Glitterball trophy to her list of achievements.

Lisa Armstrong made her return to TV earlier this month, giving an interview on Strictly‘s spin-off show, It Takes Two, in one of her first public appearances following her divorce from Ant McPartlin in 2018.

’ PETE'S GUTTED THAT HE CAN'T GET OUT TO SUPPORT MAURA ‘ With Maura Higgins heading into I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! as a latecomer just as rumoured beau Pete Wicks continues to wow the Strictly Come Dancing judges, the pair could be about to become reality TV royalty for a second time. Pete's jam-packed dance rehearsal schedule means he won't be able to fly out to support Maura, who he's enjoyed a number of romantic clinches with since they were first pictured kissing over the summer. While the Love Island and TOWIE stars last week enjoyed an emotional final date night before Maura, 33, flies out to the jungle, sources tell Closer that Pete, 36, is heartbroken he can't be in Australia with her. An insider…

Switching on her camera, Rosie Jean assessed the vast amount of food in front of her before tucking into a pound of sausages, a rack of ribs and two sides in one sitting. She then uploaded the video to a social media platform designed for ‘feeders’, people – mostly men – who get aroused from watching women eat. From that video alone she made around £235. But while the money and validation were intoxicating, Rosie would soon discover a darker side to the fetish. KINK Rosie, 32, who lives in Florida, USA, says, ‘Like many bigger girls, I was used to people either shaming or ignoring my body. Receiving positive attention for my looks from the videos I posted made me feel powerful and beautiful. It wasn't until I developed…

When Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington split this summer after two years of dating, it made things pretty awkward backstage at Strictly Come Dancing. And now, Ukrainian dancer Nadiya has reportedly been leaning on another Strictly star for support. After Nadiya, 35, said that she and Kai, 29, were ‘not friends’ after ending their relationship in July, reports claimed last week that she's been spending more time with her celebrity dance partner, swimmer Tom Dean, 24. And with Tom having recently ended his own relationship with girlfriend Charlotte Phillips, insiders tell Closer that the Olympian's closeness with mumof-one Nadiya is raising alarm bells for Kai. A source reveals, ‘There's a lot of backstage tension between Nadiya and Kai. She's trying to keep it professional. THE ONE Nadiya met British dancer…

Seven years after the tragic death of her partner Matt Janes, actress Jill Halfpenny looked blissful as she was pictured with her new love last week. The 49-year-old was seen with her boyfriend, Ian McAllister, for the first time as they attended the Tees Valley Film Festival together in Stockton-on-Tees. Jill's new man is a 48-yearold marketing executive who previously worked on the groundbreaking fly-on-the-wall reality show, The Osbournes. It's Jill's first relationship since losing Matt, who died aged 43 in 2017 from a fatal heart attack while at the gym. The former EastEnders star first revealed she had found love again earlier this year, saying, ‘When you lose a partner, a romantic relationship, it can sometimes feel slightly like a betrayal if you move on, and it's not.

I SWITCH OFF WITH DIY PROJECTS… One of my favourite activities is hanging pictures in the living room and getting into full nesting mode as winter rolls around. I really embrace the cosiness of being indoors more often. I'M INTO ‘WOO-WOO’ WELLNESS… I love astrology and tarot cards.

Sir Chris Hoy was diagnosed with prostate cancer and has between two to four years to live. He has said that men under 50 with a family history of prostate cancer should ask for a blood test. I agree. NHS guidelines say anyone over the age of 50 can request a prostatespecific antigen (PSA) test, but if you have a strong family history – like Chris, whose father and grandfather both had it – you can ask when you're younger. KNOW WHICH TESTS ARE COMPLICATED Having said that, this prostate test can't give you a completely black and white answer. Of all the cancer tests, this is one of the trickiest. Researchers looked into it as a general screening tool for all men, but decided against it because borderline positive…

Floods in Spain, wildfires in Canada, huge tornadoes in the USA – and now Mariah claims she can create snow at will. We're beginning to wonder WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
