After bitter humiliation for Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson following the stripping of their royal titles, sources tell Closer that – across the pond – fears are growing that Prince William is now planning on exacting his revenge in the same way with Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle. Furious Wills was reported to have been behind the ‘firm stance’ taken against his uncle, who gave up his Duke of York title after pressure following his involvement with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein which heaped shame on the royal family. In an unprecedented move, the former Duke of York was then stripped of his Prince title by the King, leaving him as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, and banished to a private residence on the Sandringham Estate. And the family of the…

Planning for the 30th anniversary of the release of the Spice Girls’ debut single Wannabe next year is well underway – but sources tell Closer a new feud has rocked the band, threatening to put the jubilations on hold. After being left humiliated by her husband Christian Horner’s sexting scandal, which he denied and was cleared of – and his unconnected subsequent sacking from his position as principal of Red Bull Racing – sources tell Closer that Geri Halliwell, 53, ‘feels she’s lost some of the power she had’ and is trying to regain it by calling the shots on anniversary plans, including hopes for a Spice biopic. TENSE And a series of tense conversations with her former bandmate Victoria Beckham, 50, who suffered similar embarrassment in 2003 when it…

They have been locked in a feud over career copying claims in recent years. And now, sources reveal that Olivia Attwood has banned Maura Higgins from using the same glam squad as her. After reports suggested that Olivia, 34, considers Maura, also 34, to have mimicked her career, the insider says, ‘She truly believes that Maura is copying her, so she has gone to great lengths to make sure she doesn’t have the same glam team. ‘She takes her look very seriously, thinks of herself as very fashion forward and gets upset if she feels people are copying her. Her glam squad are loyal and don’t want to cause more stress, so they now helpfully run new clients by her before agreeing to take them on.’ Rumours first emerged of…

She’s dominated headlines for her contentious adult content creation – including her claims that she secured a world record by sleeping with 1,057 men in 12 hours. And Bonnie Blue – who separated from her husband, Oliver Davidson, last November – now gives Closer an update on her relationship status. HARD ‘We both wanted to separate for many years,’ says Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger. ‘You have ups and downs – but getting a divorce is, of course, going to be hard. ‘I’d 100% get married again, but I’m not currently focused on dating anyone at the moment. I’ve recently considered setting up a Hinge account, but I don’t know if it’d work for me. Regardless of if you’re a sex worker or someone who’s slept with 1,000…

How much do you spend? Around £150 a week. Because I’m a chef, I’m a bit of a food forager. I spend part of the week in London for work and always stop by my local Italian deli for fresh cheeses and Italian ingredients. On Fridays, I visit my favourite fishmonger. At home, we grow almost all of our own veg and rear our own pork and beef. Once a month I’ll buy an organic chicken. For everything else, I mix and match between supermarkets. Describe your daily diet… Every morning starts with a vegetable juice. I’ve been doing it religiously for about 10 years. Around 11am, I’ll have homemade granola with probiotic yogurt, seeds and our own honey. For lunch in autumn and winter, I usually have a hearty…

We’re a nation of bargain lovers, and a new study from VoucherCodes.co.uk shows just how much. A whopping 41% of respondents cited buying a bargain as their top ‘feel-good’ moment – over sex or chocolate! Professor of Consumer Psychology, Cathrine Jansson-Boyd, says the secret to the ‘bargain buzz’ is simple – it’s all down to dopamine. ‘When consumers see a product they like, with a price they think is good, they experience a level of satisfaction that is associated with an activation in a part of the brain – the nucleus accumbens – that is linked to the anticipation of pleasure. It’s the pleasure that ultimately makes them buy something.’ Almost 60% of Brits said they hunted for discount codes before buying, while over half (53%) of us love to…

While Victoria may be headed for a fallout with former bandmate Geri, it seems she and David, 50, have extended an olive branch to their eldest son Brooklyn amid their family feud. Brooklyn, 26, and wife Nicola Peltz, 30, have distanced themselves from his family – with the couple snubbing David’s 50th celebration parties and the launch of Victoria’s documentary among other family events. But eagle-eyed fans noticed both of Brooklyn’s parents ‘liked’ the aspiring chef’s recent Instagram video making buttermilk pancakes – marking the first time they’d acknowledged one of his posts since August. The alleged feud kicked off last December when Brooklyn’s younger brother Romeo, 23, started dating DJ Kim Turnbull, 24, who Brooklyn used to be friends with. It was reported at the time that he and…

Just a few weeks before her wedding, Kay Perea met her new parents-in-law for the first time. It was always going to be a nerve-wracking occasion, but Kay had her own unique reasons to be anxious. She’d only been engaged for three months, she was alone in a foreign country, and she was terrified her in-laws wouldn’t approve – because, while her fiancé Ablack was 25, Kay was 43 years older at 68. The two met online and started out as friends before things turned romantic. In August 2024, Kay jetted to visit Ablack where he lived in Nigeria and has never looked back. She says, ‘Initially, I was meant to go travelling the world after my visit to Nigeria. But then Ablack proposed, and now the two of us…

PALS WARN LILY: ‘Beware of David’struth bombs!’ Her recent record release – the first in seven years – was hailed as a ‘stunning divorce album’ as Lily Allen detailed her marriage breakdown from David Harbour in powerful lyrics, seemingly accusing him of infidelity and leading a double life. CLAIMS But after littering West End Girl with claims reportedly aimed at Stranger Things star David, a source says that Lily’s inner circle are growing worried that the actor could retaliate. ‘Lily’s pals think she could be flying too close to the sun with it all and worry the bubble of excitement surrounding the album is set to burst if David hits back publicly with his truth bombs of what really went on,’ the source says.

Every year, about 15 million of us go down with a cold or the flu, and this winter there’s also a new type of Covid to deal with. Infections often go up at this time of year because we’re all indoors a lot more – so bugs can spread more easily – but that’s just part of the reason so many of us will catch coughs and colds. To keep you safe this winter, let’s dig into all things colds and flu. It can be tricky to work out whether you’ve got a cold, the flu or Covid, but I always ask patients, ‘If I put a £5 note at the end of your bed and say you can have it, would you be able to grab it?’ If they…
