The Prince and Princess of Wales were rocked last month by the news that an intruder had managed to enter the grounds of their Kensington Palace residence on two separate occasions. And now, sources tell Closer that while the incident has understandably left the couple shocked and shaken, Kate is determined not to let it upset the family. ‘This wasn’t a minor scare – it was deeply unsettling. When someone breaches the place you call home, it hits you in the stomach and suddenly, everything feels exposed,’ our insider says. ‘It left them shaken in a way people don’t see. Lying awake at night, replaying every “what if” in your head. Kate was in tears. She finds this side of royal life unbearable, and the idea that the children could…

It was a reunion no one would have foreseen when exes Lauryn Goodman and Kyle Walker were spotted enjoying a night out at the same restaurant last month. Now, sources tell Closer that the pair’s coincidental shock encounter at Bagatelle in London has left Kyle’s wife Annie Kilner fuming – and she’s determined not to be betrayed by him again. ‘Annie’s Christmas was yet again tarnished by Lauryn trying to insinuate that she’s back in contact with Kyle and that they spoke to each other on a night out,’ an insider says. ‘She doesn’t think Kyle would be so stupid to go there again but then she never thought he would be stupid enough to get Lauryn pregnant the second time. But if there is any hint that they are…

Shelley Macpherson’s daughter, Beth Langton, died aged 22 after ingesting a poisonous substance bought online. She was found on 18 February 2023 in her bedroom at supported accommodation in Nottinghamshire. Shelley says, ‘Beth was bright and creative but she struggled with her mental health from when she was 12. We tried to protect her but she bought poison online a month before her death. We only discovered what happened when police returned her phone after she died and we saw she’d accessed detailed instructions on how to end her life. It was absolutely horrifying. ‘At her inquest, failings in the support given to her by various services where highlighted, and the coroner warned about the easy public availability of this poison, with no checks on buyers or awareness from businesses…

Emilia: ‘My parents were supportive, but not pushy’ Emilia Jones, daughter of singer and presenter Aled Jones and his wife, Claire Fossett, is making waves in Hollywood, with her performance in Oscar-winning film CODA. Emilia, 23, has faced claims her dad helped her, but Aled denied this, joking that, ‘Hosting Songs of Praise doesn’t get you much sway in Hollywood.’ Meanwhile, Emilia said, ‘My parents are so supportive, but so laid-back. They are not pushy at all. They wanted me to be at school for a certain amount of time… but I look back and I’m grateful. They wanted me to be a kid.’ Scarlett: ‘A girl takes the chances she gets’ A Corrie love story became real when Ryan Thomas (Jason Grimshaw) fell for onscreen partner, Tina O’Brien (Sarah…

It’s shaping up to be sensational year for Gemma Collins, who has boldly declared that she’ll tie the knot AND start a family in 2026. The GC kicked off the new year with a flurry of excitement, taking to Instagram to share snaps from a glamorous evening out with fiancé Rami Hawash. The loved-up pair, Rami looking dapper and Gemma sporting her signature glam, enjoyed canapés and entertainment at The Ned, London. After the celebrations, Gemma, 44, made it clear to her fans she means business this year, captioning her pics, ‘It was the final drink of champagne as I have a wedding to plan!!

How much do you spend? Around £80-£100 per week. I love to shop at Wylde Market – it’s an online farmers’ market – or at Riverford, a fruit and veg box delivery. I occasionally shop at Waitrose, but I try to stay away from supermarkets as much as possible. Describe your daily diet… I always start with a matcha latte or a decaf latte, blended with a stack of my favourite powders: Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Astragalus, He Shou Wu, Maca and Reishi. I usually wait until midday to eat. Lunch is simple but delicious – often a banana mashed on good organic bread with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Other days I’ll have kefir with honey and banana. Dinner tends to be something clean…

Changes to how credit scores are calculated mean renters should now see the benefits of keeping up with payments reflected in their score. A better score can help unlock improved mortgage deals, loans, phone contracts and car finance. But you need to make sure yours counts, says Aaron Peake, Credit score Expert at CredAbility. ‘If your rent isn’t reported, you’re leaving points on the table. Make sure your landlord or letting agent submits your payments through a recognised scheme, or do it yourself via a partner system’. It’s worth noting that late payments will have the reverse effect on your score, so it’s more important than ever to pay rent on time – set a reminder on your phone or use a Direct Debit if you are liable to forget.…

GRUMPY GRAM Furious Sabrina turns up for the first day of shooting her latest video project to find that some swine has turned up in an identical outfit. Who wore it best? We’d rather not say……

She started the year with a holiday to Barbados, alongside husband Wayne and their four sons. And after spending quality time with her family, insiders tell Closer it’s left Coleen Rooney feeling emotional about eldest son Kai’s promising future as a football star. ‘Their holiday was a great time to reconnect as a family and Coleen took the opportunity to tell Kai that if he’s really set on his football career then it has to come first,’ the source says. ‘Not because she’s against him having a girlfriend – she isn’t – but because she knows how quickly life can pull you in different directions when you’re young. ‘He’s not just another academy kid – he’s Wayne Rooney’s son. That comes with attention, comparisons and noise – and Coleen wants…

Former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has bravely shared that her twin girls, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, who were born prematurely last May, have been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 (SMA1) – the most severe form of the disease and one of the leading genetic causes of infant death. In a video, which she hopes will raise vital awareness, Jesy said, ‘We were told that they’re probably never going to be able to walk; they probably will never regain their neck strength, so they will be disabled, and so the best thing we can do right now is to get them treatment, and then just hope for the best.’ Jesy and her rapper fiancé Zion Foster noticed symptoms such as their twins’ bowed legs and unusual breathing…

When Micki Daniels breastfed her newborn daughter for the first time in 2019, she marvelled at the wonder of it all. Her perfect E-cups were her pride and joy, and had help her rack up a small fortune in the adult industry, yet they were also now providing life to her tiny infant – something she couldn’t put a price on. But a year of breastfeeding took its toll, leaving Micki’s breasts stretched and deflated. Desperate to reclaim her old body, Micki spent two painstaking years researching cosmetic surgery clinics near her home in Melbourne, convinced she was making the safest choice. Micki was brimming with hope as she went under the knife. But her dream quickly turned into a nightmare when, instead of fuller, firmer breasts, she woke up…

ROUTINE KEEPS ME GROUNDED… Every morning I listen to a meditation with my headphones on – it trains my brain the same way you’d train a muscle. I use affirmations while I get ready, do the school run, and normally go to a 9.30am gym class. Since my hysterectomy I’m taking it slow, but I’ll be back in January. SLEEP IS ESSENTIAL… I take magnesium every night and do a little eye routine that helps me drift off – looking up, down, side to side and then circling my eyes with my lids closed. It works in minutes! ENERGY PROTECTION IS SELF-CARE… I’m sensitive to energy and quite happy being a hermit. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is tell someone to f*** off if they’re toxic to…

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPIC OF THE WEEK When I first heard about ‘rage rooms’, I couldn’t believe it! These are venues where you pay to smash up things like old cups and plates, electronic items such as broken TVs and microwaves, and even bits of furniture. They are currently booming in popularity – and most of their customers are women. Women don’t express their anger as openly as men – there’s still a ridiculous social belief that getting angry isn’t very lady-like, so having somewhere to go and do a bit of controlled venting sounds like a good idea. But if you never express your negative emotions, this could cause physical and mental health problems over time. IT’S A NORMAL FEELING Feeling angry is…

It seems Sir David Beckham and Lady Victoria hoped to kick off 2026 by mending the bitter family rift that has been tearing them apart. Once known for their tight-knit bond, the Beckhams have grown noticeably distant from son Brooklyn. And after an icy Christmas – where Brooklyn, 26, went so far as to block his family on social media – Victoria, 51, and David, 50, reached out with a heartfelt post on Instagram, hoping to thaw the frosty atmosphere. REACHING OUT In a touching throwback, David posted a photo with Brooklyn as a teenager, captioned: ‘I love you all so much.’ He followed it up with another snap of Victoria curled up with their kids, Brooklyn included, alongside the words, ‘You are my life,’ making it clear they want…

When Tucker McCloskey got comments from people that he’d grown a bit of a beer belly, he just laughed it off – he knew his stomach wasn’t a result of one too many drinks, but because he was actually pregnant. After transitioning to become a man in his early twenties, Tucker, now 29, wanted children but didn’t really think he’d ever fall pregnant. Then he met the love of his life, Dani, while the two were working as nurses during the pandemic. The couple had an open relationship – and Tucker fell unexpectedly pregnant in April 2024. The pair were stunned but also excited to become parents, with Dani happy to raise another man’s baby. In November 2024, they welcomed baby Maya into the world. Tucker says, ‘Our love story…

When Jesy Nelson revealed her twin girls had been diagnosed with SMA1, it resonated with mum of three, Kayleigh Steel. Kayleigh, 39, lives with her husband Joe, 41, and their children, Edie, six, Oscar, three, and Finn, one, in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. Oscar, like Jesy’s daughters, was diagnosed with SMA1 shortly after birth, altering their lives forever. Kayleigh recalls, ‘Watching Jesy’s heartbreaking video took me back to a very dark time. I got quite tearful watching it. I remember the whirlwind of Oscar’s diagnosis and hospital appointments so clearly and my heart went out to Jesy and her family. GENETIC TESTS ‘Oscar’s symptoms started in the womb. I noticed he didn’t move as much as my daughter had in pregnancy. After he was born, although I was reassured initially, three…
