' THERE’S NO WAY HE’S GOING TO SUBJECT HER TO INTRUSION THAT SHE CAN’T HANDLE ' It’s been over six months since Kate Middleton stepped back from the public eye to focus on her health after announcing her cancer diagnosis.While she delighted the nation when she made a brief return last month to attend Trooping the Colour with husband William by her side, the Princess of Wales admitted she’s “not out of the woods yet”. But speculation has mounted that she could soon make another welcome public appearance by returning to present the men’s trophy at the Wimbledon final in her role as Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club. And now, former royal butler Paul Burrell says it’s “highly likely” that Kate – who is a beloved fixture…

Dawn Field will never regret taking in her grandson Layton when he was just three weeks old after his parents were unable to look after him. Now seven, she loves him like her own child – but the challenges for her family have been immense. Their finances have been so strained, they’ve ended up using food banks. Last Christmas they didn’t know how they’d be able to have a festive meal until a kind stranger stepped in and bought it for them. And during lockdown, they were so squeezed for space in their two-bedroom house, Dawn set up a tent in the garden that the family took turns sleeping in. Dawn, 46, who lives with her husband Gary, 47, a bus driver, and their four eldest children, aged between 22…

She’s been single for nearly two years since the toxic split from her ex and father of her daughter, Charles Drury. And now insiders say that Lauren Goodger – who has previously spoken out about her surgery regrets – feels her body insecurities are holding her back from dating again. UNCOMFORTABLE “Lauren had a procedure where her own body fat was pumped into her bottom to boost her curves. But it’s changed over time and she’s not happy with how it looks,” the source tells Closer. “The theory is that, as she loses weight, it’s supposed to break down naturally. But the issue is that she also had fillers that have mixed in with the fat, which created lumps.” The TOWIE star, 37, underwent a Brazilian butt lift in Turkey…

Two years on from her marriage split, A Place In The Sun presenter Laura Hamilton has a new man – but his estranged wife is said to be “upset” over their relationship. The 42-year-old TV star has been dating businessman and dad-of-two James Pettigrew, 44, since the beginning of the year. “Laura has been dating James since January and they spend all their time together,” a source says. “While Laura has been single since splitting from her ex-husband, James is still married and their relationship has caused his estranged wife, Jackie, a lot of hurt and upset. She was unaware of their romance in the early days and is now going through a painful divorce, with her priority being to protect her two daughters.” Despite this, the new couple are…

When Beth Foster first saw threemonth-old Frankie’s dark eyes and soft fur, it was love at first sight. Frankie, a Border Terrier Papillon Kokoni cross, was a rescue from Romania, where she’d spent her short life being abused. Beth was determined to give the pup a forever home with her in Sheffield, but little did she know that the pooch would also end up rescuing her. For when Beth almost experienced a heart attack six months after taking in Frankie, it was her four-legged friend that alerted her something was wrong. Without Frankie’s concern, she might not have made it to hospital in time. Beth, 28, says, “It was meant to be that Frankie came into my life. She’s always been special, but I never could have imagined how much…

DON'T SKIP CARBS Eating erratically or skipping meals means blood sugar levels plummet, adding to menopausal symptoms such as tiredness, irritability, poor concentration and low mood. The solution: eat regularly. Don’t be tempted to cut out carbs, either – just choose wisely. Sugary, refined carbs like chocolate and biscuits cause a sharp rise in blood sugar, leading to a quick energy burst followed by a rapid drop in blood sugar, leaving us wanting another fatigue-fighting fix. For more sustainable energy, serve meals with higher-fibre carbs such as wholemeal bread, whole grain cereals, porridge, brown rice, wholewheat pasta, potatoes with their skins, and pulses. These break down more slowly, helping to even out blood sugar levels, keeping us fuller for longer. Plus, the fibre they contain can help ease constipation –…

INSIDE KIRSTY'S FRIDGE ● Eggs ● Edamame beans ● Tahini ● Avocado ● Salmon fillets ● Red pepper ● Ginger shots ● Kombucha ● Butternut squash ● Parnsips ● Swede ● Lettuce ● Orange peppers ● Almond milk ● Carrots ● Sweet potatoes ● Watercress ● Kale ● Onions ● Apple cider vinegar ● Sparkling water VERDICT CLOSER NUTRITIONIST JULIETTE KELLOW SAYS: “Many people find a keto diet too restrictive, but Kirsty has found a way to make it work for her. She’s still enjoying some veg and doesn’t seem to have excessive amounts of saturated fat (the type linked to poorer heart health), although her typical fibre intake may not meet the recommended 30g a day. For most people, a less severe carb restriction will usually provide…

ALL ABOUT YOU! MIX UP 'SELF CARE' FOR TRUE WELLBEING While taking time out to do things for yourself is critical, acts of kindness and being sociable are important too Me-time is important, but so too is looking outwards. Often I suggest volunteer work to clients who are suffering with depression or a lack of purpose. It’s proven to give a boost to our wellbeing and health, it creates longevity, fosters life satisfaction and reduces stress. It’s about asking ourselves what we need in order to fill our cup. Sometimes that’s “me-time” – I need to book in what I call a “day of no obligation”, where I can just be me without anyone placing any demands on me but, sometimes, the right thing is to look outwards. My parents…

Her world was torn apart last year when Holly Willoughby learnt of a terrifying and sadistic plot to torture and kill her. But justice was served last week, after the man behind the gruesome plan, security guard Gavin Plumb, was found guilty of soliciting murder, encouraging or assisting the commission of kidnap, and encouraging or assisting the commission of rape. EMOTIONAL Following the guilty verdict, Holly fought back as she released an emotional statement in which she thanked authorities, the Crown Prosecution Service, lawyers and jury members involved in the case, as well as Plumb’s previous victims who had come forward. “As women, we should not be made to feel unsafe going about our daily lives and in our own homes,” she insisted. “I will forever be grateful to the…

' SHE WOULD JUST LIKE THE KEY PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES TO BE HAPPY FOR THEM ' Alison Hammond beamed from ear-to-ear as she made her red carpet debut with toyboy boyfriend David Putman at a showbiz bash in London last week. The TV star, 49, who was also joined by her 19-year-old son Aidan, has been dating the Russian model and masseur, 26, since the end of last year. And pals tell Closer that despite facing backlash over their 23-year age gap – including from David’s mum – their relationship is going from strength-to-strength. RESISTANCE “Alison is not going to be put off her new man by anyone, including friends and especially his mother,” our source says. “Alison argues that David is 26 going on 45 – he’s not…

After feeling “numb” following the loss of her husband, Derek Draper, last January, Kate Garraway tells Closer that she’s still taking one step at a time. Her emotional journey caring for Derek – who she was married to for 19 years and has two children with, Darcey, 17, and William, 14 – during his long battle with Covid, was covered in an award-winning documentary series. HOLDING IT TOGETHER Speaking at the ASA Foundation’s ball, Kate says, “I’m just at that early stage at the moment of coming out of grief. I’m just barely holding it together. I haven’t actually been out that much so it’s nice to come out tonight, although it is a school night. I’m on telly tomorrow – so I won’t be able to stay out late!”…

Two months after reaching an agreement in their bitter divorce battle, Alice Evans is embroiled in yet another feud with ex-husband Ioan Gruffudd after she accused him of not paying child support – something he has neither confirmed nor denied. The actress, 55, won custody of their two daughters, Ella, 14, and Elsie, 10, in May, but now claims she’s in dire financial straits while Ioan, 50, lives a “lavish lifestyle”. In legal documents, Alice says, “While I am struggling to put food on the table for the children, Ioan is jet setting around the world”. She also claims that her ex-spouse bought “an expensive engagement ring” and “new Rolex watches” for his fiancée Bianca Wallace, following their engagement in January. Alice also claims that Bad Boys: Ride Or Die…

Two years after their wedding, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are said to be on “the edge of divorce”, amid fresh rumours that their marriage has been “over for months”. The star then added more fuel to the fire when she was spotted without her wedding ring last week – sparking concern from fans who noticed her much thinner frame. One of her Instagram followers commented that J–Lo – who recently admitted she was “the thinnest I’ve ever been” – looked “so skinny”, while another commented on her post, “I think it’s from the stress of her marriage”. J–Lo and Ben, who married in July 2022, are reported to have “been apart since March”, as they sell their marital mansion and belongings. Jen, 54, remains in their $60million Bel Air…

She turned heads when she first hit our screens on last year’s smash-hit summer dating show, My Mum, Your Dad, while also catching the eye of silver fox Roger Hawes, with her infectious personality and long, blonde locks. And as Janey Smith strikes a pose on our exclusive photo shoot, she’s refreshingly honest about her figure. “I feel good about myself – I mean, I’ve got a wobbly tummy and a few lumps here and there, but it doesn’t bother me because I love my food and a glass of wine,” the 48-year-old tells Closer. FEELING SEXY “I don’t tie myself up in knots about how much I weigh,” says Janey, who is mum to son Will, 20. “When I watched the show back, I thought, ‘Bloomin’ heck, that telly…

It looks as if live events are here to stay and, with it, the chance to meet people in real life. After the pandemic robbed us of the opportunity to congregate in large, open spaces, it did feel at times that we may never again be in a field with a warm drink, dancing to live music. Thank goodness that nightmare is over. I’ve not been to a club or festival since the pandemic – and I used to be a party girl. That was until last week. While I wasn’t lucky or rich enough to make it to Glasto, I did get tickets to a local gig on the beach that was more geared towards the 30/40/50s market than 20-somethings. Not that I have an issue partying with “the…

● CHECK WHAT YOU BOOKED Sorted your hotel or car hire ages ago? Check if it’s got cheaper, and if it has and you have free cancellation, rebook then cancel the original booking. Even if you get charged for cancellations, it may be cheaper to do that and book at the new price – so run the numbers! ● IGNORE INSURANCE PRESSURE Hiring a car? It will usually include basic insurance, but when you go to pick up your wheels, they tend to try to encourage you to get “excess cover insurance”. It’s far cheaper to get standalone car hire excess cover insurance instead, ahead of your trip. Use comparison sites for the best deals, check for discount codes or, if you can, book via a cashback site. They may…

“Recent studies on mass population have shown that 1 in 10 people in the UK has an autoimmune condition. These stats are only of those already diagnosed, and many go undiagnosed for years. The misdiagnosis and late diagnosis of these conditions, which are on the rise yearly by 10 per cent, is one reason the NHS hospital system is being crippled. They are triggered by factors such as viruses (Covid and others), genetics, stress, allergies and intolerances, physical/mental trauma and environmental factors such as chemicals. “Autoimmune Support and Awareness Foundation aims to create awareness leading to faster diagnosis and fewer incidents of long-term physical and mental damage to the sufferers. These conditions as a group are bigger killers than cancer yearly in the UK. Cancer is also often associated with…

With her cinched waist and trim figure, Brittany Barkway sometimes struggles to believe that the dream body she sees in the mirror is her own. For earlier this year, after the birth of her first child, Brittany’s confidence was at an all-time low. Brittany wasn’t happy with how she looked, she so took matters into her own hands and booked a tummy tuck, breast lift with implants, fullbody liposuction and a Brazilian butt lift to regain her prepregnancy figure. DREAM COME TRUE Eager to undergo her extreme mummy makeover as soon as possible, Brittany travelled 9,000 miles to Turkey – and had all four surgeries in one day. Brittany, 26, says, “After the birth of my daughter, I felt lost. I hated my body and didn’t feel like myself any…

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner have gone Instagram official! The Dance The Night singer, 28, confirmed her romance with the Boys In The Boat actor, 34, as she posted a photo of them lying on the grass together at Glastonbury Festival, which she headlined. “We sang, we danced, we weeped and then we partied all night long! Still on a cloud. Glastofest forever,” she said, adding, “Dancing until you see the sunrise at Stone Circle is the Glasto ritual.” The couple were first romantically linked at the Masters of Air premiere in London in January. Since then, Dua and Callum have been seen enjoying dinner in Santa Monica, date nights at a Grammy Awards afterparty, BAFTAs afterparty, Brit Awards afterparty and the Time 100 Gala. They were also seen looking…

She’s the PT who urged the nation to get moving during lockdown, providing daily virtual workouts from her home and racking up thousands of views in the process. Since then, Lavina Mehta MBE has turned her attention to the menopause, campaigning hard to make sure the subject is on the political agenda, and encouraging women to boost their activity.
