She was left heartbroken by the tragic death of her 33-year-old ex, Jake McLean, last week as heavily pregnant Lauren Goodger told fans, “I’m lost for words.” Just days after Jake was killed in a car crash in Turkey – which left his on/off girlfriend, former TOWIE star Yazmin Oukhellou, 28, seriously injured – it was revealed how Lauren, 35, had secretly reconciled with her former love just two years ago, following their four-year romance from 2012 to 2016. SHOCK As Closer went to press, Yazmin was said to be in a stable condition and recovering in a Turkish hospital following the fatal smash in which Jake lost control of the car he was driving following a night out. After initially sharing her shock and grief with fans over her…

It’s been 14 months since Damian Lewis tragically lost his wife, Peaky Blinders actress Helen McCrory, to breast cancer aged just 52. Poignantly sharing his late wife’s wishes during her eulogy, the Homeland actor said, “Her generosity has extended to encouraging us three to live. Live fully, take opportunities, have adventures. She said to us from her bed, ‘I want Daddy to have girlfriends, lots of them, you must all love again, love isn’t possessive. But you know, Damian, try at least to get through the funeral without snogging someone.’” And last week, Damian, 51, was spotted cuddling up with rocker Alison Mosshart, 43, at a London event. “People who care about Damian think she might just give him the spark he needs after 14 months of misery, ” a…

Former wild child Lindsay Lohan and her partner Bader Shammas have finally tied the knot after confirming their romance in 2020. Taking to Instagram on her 36th birthday last week, she wrote, “I am the luckiest woman in the world. You found me and knew that I wanted to find happiness and grace, all at the same time. I am stunned that you are my husband. My life and everything. “Every woman should feel like this every day.” Reportedly meeting in Dubai, where Lindsay has lived for seven years, financier Bader popped the question in November, with Lindsay posting, “My love. My life. My family. My future.” The actress has endured a troubled past, with several spells in rehab from 2007-2014 and previous relationships including pop star Aaron Carter and…

Speculation over the state of her marriage spiralled last month when Christine McGuinness was spotted enjoying a holiday with footballer pal Chelcee Grimes, while her presenter husband Paddy stayed home to look after their three children. A day after Christine, 34, posted a series of sun-soaked snaps from her “girls’ trip”, eagleeyed fans noted how Paddy, 48, had seemingly erased a heart tattoo from his ring finger. BROKEN And while the Take Me Out host – who shares Leo and Penelope, nine, and six-year-old Felicity with model Christine – appeared to deny the rumours when he posted a family snap on Instagram to celebrate their twins’ birthday last week, Christine took to Instagram just days later to confirm their 11-year marriage was troubled. She wrote, “This year I met the…

With just two weeks to go before her dream wedding to Joe Swash, Stacey Solomon has been posting pics of cascading roses, romantic white candles, and home-made décor as she transforms the couple’s family home into a picture-perfect location for their nuptials. And pal Linda Robson – who credited Stacey for rushing her to rehab and keeping her calm after she suffered a breakdown during a work trip to Ibiza in 2018 – says she can’t wait to celebrate the special day with her. Linda, 64 – who is mum to Lauren, 39, Louis, 30, and Roberta, 26 – exclusively tells Closer, “I’m really excited. My kids grew up with Joe Swash so it’s nice to know both the bride and groom so well. “I can imagine Stacey’s going to…

Shark attacks are incredibly rare, in fact, there’s a one in 3,748,067 chance that a human will be killed by a shark. In comparison, 100 million sharks are killed by humans each year, which has resulted in many species of the fish becoming endangered. Most of the time, when a shark attacks a human, it’s because they’ve mistaken them as prey, such as seals or tuna. To keep yourself safe in the sea, avoid swimming at dawn or dusk, which is when the animals are most active and likely to be feeding. Don’t stray too far from the shore, as the further away you are, the further you’ll be from emergency assistance, and don’t swim in an area known as a habitat for sharks.…

‘I’ve never been on a dating app’ Stick to your morals – “Looking back on my time in the villa, I’m proud of myself because I carried myself in a way I would in the outside world and was true to myself. If you stick to how your morals work, you’ll have no regrets.” Don’t be a people pleaser – “When I came out of the villa, the social media trolling definitely affected me and it took me a couple of years to stop worrying about what people thought all the time. So remember you can’t please everyone, and that’s fine.” Keep your nearest and dearest close – “Coming out of the villa can be overwhelming, and you’ll need the people you love around you. Your family and friends are…

She’s battled body insecurities, cruel trolling, and almost lost her glittering presenting career amid her infamous weight-loss DVD scandal, all since shooting to fame as Gogglebox’s bubbly Geordie in 2014. But last week, Scarlett Moffatt, 31, revealed she’s finally found happiness in her own skin – insisting she feels more content now at a size 18 than she ever did as a size 8. The former Jungle Queen – who’s returned from a two-year break away from the spotlight – said, “People need to look in the mirror and give themselves a compliment. So many times in the past I missed out on things because I was self-conscious. I didn’t go to pool parties in Las Vegas three years ago. “I think back and go, ‘Why did I let that…

RELIVE YOUR TEEN YEARS Studies suggest music can hold back the years thanks to the positive effects it has on our health, such as lowering blood pressure, reducing pain and slowing cognitive decline. A recent study also found that regularly listening to music – as well as singing or playing an instrument – improved memory in middle-aged adults. Music also stimulates the part of our brain that deals with emotions and releases feel-good neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, helping us de-stress and sleep better. Which music is best for holding back the years?…

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPICS OF THE WEEK A recent study found that people who ate two portions of fish a week were 22 per cent more likely to develop malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer usually caused by too much sun exposure. That all sounds very alarming, but when I looked at the study properly, it’s nowhere near as dramatic as the headlines suggested. I like fun headlines, but if people don’t read the whole article, they could decide fish gives you cancer and you’re better off not eating it, when that really isn’t the case. UNDERSTAND THE FACTS To put it in perspective, this study showed that if people increased the amount of fish they ate by 1,200 per cent, they only…

Social norms tell us we should have a steady relationship, own a home, have kids, earn a certain amount, be at a certain level professionally, and so on. It’s great to have aspirations, and setting achievable milestones that help you reach your dreams is an excellent plan, but what you want and what others think you should have, are very different. FORGET THE ‘COMPETITION’ In today’s social-media driven world, you are constantly exposed to other people’s “surface” success. These images are unlikely to inspire you, they will potentially make you feel that you are in a race that you didn’t even sign up for. Life isn’t a competition, but if you see your peers living their best lives, soaking up the sun, or posting their new home renovations, while you…

In Beselare, Belgium, nine soldiers were found together in a trench at the site of the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917.

It’s been two and a half years since they sensationally stepped down as senior royals to restart their life in California. Since then, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been enjoying a laid-back lifestyle worlds apart from the one they had back in the UK. The couple live in an £11m nine-bed mansion in Montecito, a town in Santa Barbara, close to LA, with their two children Archie, three, and Lilibet, one. And since moving to LA – which was a return home for Meghan, who grew up there – the couple have been papped dining at lavish restaurants, hiking in the hills and spending time at the elite Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club – where membership costs over £8,000 a month. SLOW-PACED But Meghan, 40, and Harry, 37,…

When Roxy McCarthy reached breaking point after being traumatised by four deaths in just four months, she couldn’t admit to her loved ones that she was struggling. Instead, she contacted Samaritans, who helped her to find some stability. PANIC Roxy, 29, from Lancashire, says, “I didn’t feel like myself and I didn’t want to panic the people I was close to. Speaking to Samaritans gave me space to process what I was feeling. I want to encourage others to speak up, because doing so changed my life.” Roxy’s mental health struggle isn’t uncommon. Statistics reveal that depression rates have doubled since the pandemic began, while the cost of living crisis has left 38 per cent of UK adults worried about their finances. Mubeen Bhutta, Samaritans Head of Policy, Public Affairs…

They’ve been together for 14 months, and Alexandra Burke and footballer beau Darren Randolph welcomed their first child together last week. Sharing their happy news on Instagram with a picture of a pair of tiny baby feet, the former X Factor winner, 33, wrote, “Welcome to the world our little grape, we already love you more than words can say.” Celebrity pals including Strictly judge Motsi Mabuse and former Love Island star Samira Mighty added their well wishes to Alexandra and West Ham goalkeeper Darren, 35, who are yet to reveal the baby’s name or gender.…

She had a toxic split from longterm boyfriend Eddie Boxshall last November, after it emerged he’d been messaging other women online. But Denise Van Outen proved she’d moved on earlier this month after going public with new man Jimmy Barba, with the pair arm-in-arm and grinning together on the red carpet of the Grand Prix Ball. Denise, 48, is thought to have been dating Jimmy, 55, for two months, after being introduced by All Saints singer Shaznay Lewis, and the couple are said to be smitten. RAY OF LIGHT While he owns a property development business, Jimmy has dabbled in the showbiz world in the past. He starred on Italy’s version of Big Brother – Grande Fratello – where he came fourth, and has also done stand-up comedy and singing.…

Two women tragically lost their lives last week in separate shack attacks while holidaying near popular tourist resort Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. Horrific footage showed Elisabeth Sauer, 68, from Austria, desperately trying to swim back to shore after her arm and leg were bitten off. Despite the efforts of onlookers and emergency services, authorities said Elisabeth died of “painful shock”. The second victim is believed to be a Romanian tourist who has not yet been named. It’s believed that overfishing and “shark feeding” tourist experiences are encouraging the creatures closer to shore. Closer speaks to mum-of-one Kristine Weiskopf, whose young son was savaged by a shark on a family holiday.…

It’s the most talked about film of the summer, after sizzling pictures of its leading actors, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, were released last week. Set to hit the big screen in 2023, the new Barbie movie has already been dubbed a “feminist masterpiece” thanks to being directed by the Oscar-winning Greta Gerwig and produced by Margot’s company, LuckyChap. And everyone from singing superstar Lizzo to Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley has been spotted dressed in Barbie’s statement pink hue. But some are taking things a step further – by having cosmetic procedures, such as facial tweaks, breast augmentations, tummy tucks and liposuction, in order to emulate the classic doll. Cosmetic practitioner Amar Suchde – owner of AMS Aesthetics – says, “People wanting a doll-like look is nothing new, but it’s definitely…

With the current cost of living crisis, many animal shelters of all sizes are receiving fewer donations, despite having to take on more pets from cash-strapped owners. Robert Young of Battersea Dogs and Cat Home says, “Times are tough for so many of us at the moment, and the ever-increasing cost of living can be extremely worrying for those with pets to look after. Throughout 2022, we’ve seen a steady increase in enquiries from pet owners seeking to bring their dogs and cats into our centres, while our dog rehoming applications have decreased. In May 2022, we had 55 per cent more enquiries from people looking to bring their pets in compared to the same time last year. It’s impossible to say exactly why this is, we expect that a…

If it’s good enough for celeb beauties like Kim Kardashian and Olivia Wilde, then I’m sure it’s acceptable for little old me. Old being the operative word. Because age appears to be nothing but a number for these women, who are both in relationships with younger men. And this is a new emerging trend – about time too! Tinder has found that in the past month, close to half of its female users have matched with younger men. In fact, the “toyboy” stigma is now so antiquated (hooray!) that the number of users who put on their profiles that they’re looking for a “younger man” has increased by a whopping 70 per cent. And it works both ways – bio mentions for “older girl” have gone up by 35 per…

SMALL CHANGES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE ASK NEIGHBOURS FOR HELP A dark house at all hours of the day, post piling up and an unmown lawn are all signs that someone isn’t home. One report found 47 per cent of burglaries are spur-of-the-moment acts with culprits looking for any hint that no one is home, so ask a neighbour to pick up your mail or trim the lawn while you’re away. TIME THE LIGHTS Using a timer switch to turn on a couple of lights creates the illusion that someone is home. They can be turned on with an app or at a certain time. External automatic lights can also be a deterrent. Solar security lights have become increasingly popular – they are bright, easy to install and have no…

July 2018 A choppy, chin-length bob suited Kim’s delicate features and had a fresh modern feel. March 2020 Lots and lots of extra inches styled up into multiple, glossy braids had a sporty vibe. January 2021 This 1960s-inspired high ponytail was a rare choice for the star. March 2018 A soft bubblegum-pink rinse was an unexpected yet playful look.

Sophie Badman, 29, from Littlehampton, first spoke to Samaritans via the email service. She says, “Six years ago, I was in a bad car accident and my marriage broke down because of it. It was very traumatic and left me feeling suicidal. “I didn’t want to burden my friends and family with my dark thoughts, so I contacted Samaritans through their email service, as it felt less daunting than a phone call. “Although airing my feelings helped, I needed more support. I realised that if I didn’t speak to someone, I might not be here for much longer. I had nothing to lose. “It was very scary calling the helpline, but then a friendly voice at the end of the line put me at ease. I’m not very vocal about…

She has shared the details of her family’s bravery while her husband, former lobbyist and therapist Derek Draper, battles with the long-term effects of Covid. And last week, TV presenter Kate Garraway revealed he was back in hospital. When asked about his health while hosting the Tric Awards last week, Kate, 55, said. “He’s OK, he’s back in hospital, that’s a development. There we are.” Derek, 54, – who shares son Billy, 12, and daughter Darcey, six, with Kate – is believed to be the worst-affected person to have contracted the virus and survived.…

He split from his husband Dan Neal in June last year, but Rylan Clark appears to be moving on after being photographed getting close to reality star Declan Doyle. The pair – both from Essex – reportedly struck up a romance a few months ago, but Rylan, 33, is said to have first met Declan, 32, in 2012 when they both auditioned for The X Factor. They were first spotted together out for dinner in London in April, but last week, snaps of them kissing during a night out confirmed their romance. And sources have said that it’s going so well, they’re set to meet each other’s parents.

Offer yet another argument, Penny Hawkins and her husband Ben* decided to separate – but there was a problem. With just one income between them, neither could afford a divorce. But Penny had an ingenious idea. She set up a website called Help Me Leave My Husband, and asked strangers for money. Penny, 59, says, “I knew it would shock some people, but it was the only thing I could think to do.” Penny and Ben met on a blind date, and after months of dating got engaged. They married in October 1993, when Penny was five months pregnant, and as well as raising Penny’s son, Keith, now 38, Penny and Ben had two children together, Eden, now 28, and Mia, 25. The couple were happy at first, but cracks…

Paralegal Kristine Weiskopf, 40, lives in Eagan, Minnesota, with her husband Ren and son Jay, 10. She says, “It’s been over one year since the attack. While Jay’s scar has healed well, he’s been left with trauma. FIRST SWIM “It was our first family holiday in four years and we’d decided to go to Florida. When we arrived at the hotel, we couldn’t wait for a swim. The hotel pool was closed, but that didn’t matter because we were only a five-minute walk from the beach. “Because this was Jay’s first time swimming in the sea, I made sure to check the lifeguard flags. They were all green, which meant it was safe to swim. The waves weren’t too choppy, so I grabbed Jay’s hand and we paddled together. Back…

After opening up about her hopes of heading down the aisle with Mr Right, Ferne McCann’s dream became a reality last week as she announced her engagement to boyfriend-of-six-months Lorri Haines. And now Ferne – who is mum to four-year-old daughter Sunday with prison inmate Arthur Collins – has also said she’d love to expand her brood. She’s told pals she’s desperate to give Sunday a sibling and that they wouldn’t be surprised if a new baby came before a wedding. Just last year she admitted her priority would be to “fall in love and make a family”. The source says, “Ferne is so broody for baby number two and has been for ages. But now she’s found her Mr Right and they’re engaged, she doesn’t want to hang around.…

I loved my time on Love Island, and it brought me so many opportunities, but since leaving the villa, I’ve actually returned to my day job as a tattoo artist. Tattooing was my passion and I really missed it when I stopped. There’s no amount of money you can earn that is more important than doing something you love. I have no regrets about appearing on the show because of what I learned about myself, and about love. I’m now in a relationship with a man I was with before I went on the show. I dated David before I went in the villa, but he wouldn’t commit. When I came out, he realised what he was missing and we made it official. We’re now living together and stronger than…

With two small children born 21 months apart, it’s fair to say Chloe Goodman has had her hands full over the past two years. The former glamour model and reality star, who shares 26-month-old daughter Isla, and five-month-old son, Hudson, with her footballer fiancé, Grant Hall, admits her “life has changed for the better” since becoming a mum. “I rarely have time for a shower, I hardly wear make-up and I haven’t had a drink in three years, ” laughs Chloe, 29, as she speaks to Closer. “I do miss the spontaneity of my old life, but I’ve embraced the chaos and feel so content. My babies are wonderful, and I get so much enjoyment watching them grow.” DARK PLACE And the star, who appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in…

YOUR GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL ISSUES AND FAMILY LIFE WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST EMMA KENNY According to a survery by The Childhood Trust, the impact of money worries has left 47% of children feeling stressed, and 21% of parents say their kids smile less because of the financial squeeze. As a child, I lived through two of the worst financial crashes in modern times and I hadn’t a clue. My parents were working class, and my mum has since told me that back then she could barely afford to feed us, but I grew up without social-media, so my childhood wasn’t constantly punctuated by bad news. I am also grateful that my parents didn’t burden me with adult issues that I could neither change, nor fully understand. These days, children and teens…
