Their high-profile tour to Colombia last month divided opinion – even raising eyebrows about whether the repercussions of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's trip could prove 'dangerous' for the monarchy. And as the Sussexes returned home to their Montecito mansion, they were hit by yet more drama when reports emerged suggesting that streaming giant Netflix is 'not expected' to renew the couple's multimillion-dollar contract when it ends next year. The news came after it was revealed how Meghan's cookery show had been pushed back until 2025 amid copyright issues. And now, as Harry, 39, and Meghan, 43 – who lost their £15 million Spotify deal last June – are once again grappling to find new income streams as their Hollywood allies continue to fall by the wayside, a source reveals…

Love dramas Congratulations are in order for Vicky Pattison, who got her happily ever after last week as she tied the knot with beau Ercan Ramadan. The former Geordie Shore party girl, 36, didn't let rain spoil her big day as she arrived at Marylebone Town Hall via a red London bus that had been hired for the occasion. Surrounded by 150 guests, including Love Island's Faye Winter and TOWIE's Pete Wicks, the pair exchanged their vows at their 'legal' wedding ceremony – Vicky will soon walk down the aisle again with Ercan, 30, for their lavish Italian wedding in Puglia, which will be the subject of E4 documentary, Vicky Pattison: Destination Wedding. The happy pictures came as a relief to her followers who, just two months ago, had feared…

Seven years on from his divorce from Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux appears to be heading down the aisle again after his girlfriend, Nicole Brydon, flashed what appeared to be an impressive diamond ring on that finger last week. Attending the Venice International Film Festival together for his new movie Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Justin, 53, beamed at Nicole, 30, as she seemed to have no qualms over flashing the huge rectangular diamond to the cameras. The Leftovers star Justin, who is said to still be on good terms with Jennifer, has been dating Nicole for over a year and the couple first made their red carpet debut at a Vanity Fair party last March.…

Lack of sleep and never-ending nappy duties have begun for Justin Bieber, 30, and Hailey Baldwin, 27, after the couple announced the birth of their first baby on social media last week.

But keen to get her mojo back, and armed with a new zest for life, Torrey quickly threw herself into dating – and began experimenting with polyamory, seeing multiple partners at the same time.

How much do you spend per week? About £100 for my husband Martin, and three-year-old daughter, Noa. We do most of our food shopping online, but I've recently started to go out to Sainsbury's once a week. Describe your daily diet… My most common breakfast is Quaker porridge oats. I make them with oat milk, chopped banana, blueberries, chia seeds, flaxseeds and maple syrup. For lunch I'm so boring. I'll either have smashed avocado or scrambled eggs on sourdough bread. Sometimes I'll have toasted crumpets with fresh tomatoes and egg. For dinner, my husband does all the cooking. We had meat-free hot dogs with salad the other night and it was amazing. He'll often make veggie chilli or a veggie Bolognese. I'm very lucky that he's a great cook. What…

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPIC OF THE WEEK Meghan: I'm airing my struggle with suicidal thoughts to help others Lots of people show very little sympathy to someone like Meghan Markle when she speaks about her suicidal thoughts, but anyone, in any position – however privileged they may seem – can suffer inner distress. The more people who courageously speak out about this subject, the braver other people experiencing suicidal thoughts may feel to seek support and speak out. THERE'S NO 'TYPE' People may think there's a “type” of person that would be impacted by suicidal thoughts, perhaps someone who is down on their luck, lonely or unsuccessful. That isn't true – as we should be able to see from the terrible list of celebrities…

Just days after a terrifying robbery on their family holiday to Spain, Jacqueline Jossa was pictured being supported by husband Dan Osborne as they recovered from the shock. The couple, who have been married since 2017, were enjoying a two-week holiday in the Spanish resort of Marbella with their children and extended family when the crime gang struck. Jac, 31, and their children, Ella, nine, Mia, five, and 33 year old TOWIE star Dan's son Teddy, 10, were sleeping in their holiday villa when the EastEnders star woke to the chilling sight of two thieves in balaclavas shining torches around their room.

DANCING IS GREAT FOR MENTAL HEALTH… I've started salsa classes. It's nice to spend a couple of hours doing something different and just having fun. Dance is such a good outlet because you're happy and you don't have to think. TURN OFF PHONES BEFORE BED… I turn off my phone at least an hour and a half before I go to sleep. It just helps me relax earlier. I hate to absent-mindedly scroll on my phone, so I don't do that anymore. I try to read before bed, so I'm not frazzled and thinking about things. AVOID CAFFEINE… If I'm tired, I'll just take a nap during the day! I'm the kind of person who can take a nap anywhere and all I need is 10 minutes. Then I'll wake…

After recently flaunting her ninth engagement ring, Katie Price was last week accused of attempting to morph her new fiancé, JJ Slater, into her ex of four years, Essex car dealer Carl Woods. Complete with a new set of teeth and blond highlights, there's no doubt that MAFS star JJ, 31, is gradually becoming the image of Ken-doll lookalike Carl, who Katie previously bragged was 'the best looking person I've been out with, or perhaps ever seen'. And when Closer sits down for a chat with Carl – eight months on from their final break-up on Christmas Day last year – he warns JJ that he could be the next in a long line of Katie's exes who have 'walked the same path', only to be cast aside when they…

When Lara Jones* met her ex-boyfriend, Joel, through friends on a night out in Durham, she was just 18. They became inseparable and, within a couple of months, she was living with him. Lara, now 33, and living in Cheltenham, explains, 'He was two years older, had his own place and worked in a nearby factory. He seemed very grown up. 'But the control started early on. He tried to make me stop working in a bar, as he said he hardly saw me, so I'd end up calling in sick regularly. At the time I thought he was being caring.' The abuse soon became physical as well. Lara, who's now an art therapist, remembers, 'The first time, we were on a bus and he dug his fingers really hard…

When Melissa Sloan had her first tattoo at the age of 20 – an inking of her boyfriend's name on her arm – it sparked an obsession which led to having more than 1,000 inkings all over her body, including intimate areas. Now mum-of-seven Melissa, who says her tattoos have helped her deal with emotional challenges, is determined to continue covering herself until she lands a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the world's most tattooed woman – a title currently held by a pensioner in Florida who has 98.75% of her body covered. Unemployed Melissa, 46, who lives with her family in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, says, 'I walk down the street and I can see people looking. I know everyone thinks I'm crazy.

He said earlier this year, 'People don't think I want to be married. I absolutely want to be married.'…

NEWS Charlotte Dawson's pregnancy announcement should have been a moment of celebration, but the reality TV star's news has been overshadowed by her rugby star fiancé's recent sexting scandal. The mum-of-two is engaged to former rugby league player Matthew Sarsfield, and announced last week that their third child is on the way. But the Ex On The Beach star's pregnancy news came just weeks after she learnt that Matthew had sent 'indecent images' to a friend's ex, leaving her 'humiliated'. Speaking on her podcast, Naughty Corner, the 31-year-old revealed that she'd found out from her manager, who phoned her. The couple already share sons Noah, three, and Jude, one, with the bad news coming just hours before Jude's first birthday party. Speaking in a recent interview, Charlotte – who lists…

She shot to fame as a glamour model in the noughties, regularly gracing the covers of lads' mags and posing topless for Page 3 between 1996 to 2004 – coming fourth in a “best Page 3 girl of all time” poll. But now, Nicola McLean tells Closer she's desperate to reduce the size of her famous 32GG boobs which saw her gain notoriety and earn a small fortune. The star – mum to sons, Rocky, 18, and Striker, 13, with husband and ex-footballer Tom Williams – is no stranger to surgery. She had her first boob job aged 22, taking her from a C to an E-cup, later admitting she was “too young”, and had further surgery taking her to a GG, currently the biggest size allowed in the UK.…
