At a time where fat-shaming is the realm of anonymous trolls and where “girl code” is law, fans of Ferne McCann were shocked last week to hear voice notes, allegedly recorded by the First Time Mum star, calling childhood friend Sam Faiers a “fat c***” and a “narcissistic b****”. The messages, reportedly leaked anonymously before being made public by Sam’s mum, Suzie Wells, last week, were thought to have been recorded by Ferne, 32, in June - just a month after Sam gave birth to her third child, son Edward. In the first message, a voice sounding remarkably like Ferne’s says, “Sam Faiers is a fat c***, her thighs are so big, and I looked really skinny today.” In another message leaked just a day later, seemingly the same voice…

After an emotional stay in the UK which saw them mourn the loss of the Queen after her sudden death last month - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are settling back into life at their mansion in California. The couple, who stepped down as working royals in January 2020 and have been estranged from most of the family since making a series of damaging allegations, saw themselves unwittingly catapulted back into a life of duty as they greeted mourners and made several public appearances. It may be a role that Harry, 38, had become accustomed to since birth, but after two years of a “quieter” life Stateside, teamed with the sad loss of his beloved gran and the ongoing tensions with his family, the signs of physical and emotional exhaustion…

Jane Field’s* daughter was only seven when she started to say she hated her body. The single mum was so concerned about Emma* she sought counselling for her daughter - but four years on, aged 11, she’s still struggling with her self-esteem and desperately wants to change her appearance. Jane, 42, who lives in Portsmouth and works as a copywriter, explains, “She’s desperate to look like the ‘ideal’ - the tiny, blue-eyed, blonde-haired cheerleader type. She doesn’t have social media, but her friends do, so she sees it on there and all the popular girls at school fit that stereotype. HEARTBREAKING “She’s gorgeous but she can’t see it. Instead, she hates her dark, curly hair, bushy eyebrows, and brown eyes. She wants to straighten her hair and dye it after…

Countryfile presenter Helen Skelton raised eyebrows when it emerged she’d signed-up to join the star-studded Strictly line-up - just five months after her devastating marriage split. Helen’s world was torn apart when she split from rugby player Richie Tyler, 32, just four months after giving birth to theirthird child. In a further blow, Richie quickly moved on with Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of Leeds Rugby Club owner Andrew Thirkill, and recently branded her as “family” in a gushing Instagram post. And show insiders say they are hoping newly-single Helen, 39, can heal her broken heart by finding love again on the show. A source says, “The producers absolutely love it when contestants find love with their partners and encourage as much romance as possible. It keeps the show in the…

BABY BUMPS Ever since Mollie King announced her pregnancy back in June, fans have loved seeing snaps of her blossoming bump - and the radio presenter looked utterly glowing in a powder-blue dress as she arrived at work. Mollie, 35, is expecting her first child with fiancé Stuart Broad, 36, 10 years after they first started dating. Revealing the news back in June, she wrote, “Stuart and I are so happy to share that we’re expecting a baby later this year!

I’m beyond excited and cannot wait to actually hold them in my arms. Just having a little one [is] going to be amazing.” And…

When Vanessa Ataídes looks at her reflection in the mirror, she can’t believe how much her hard work has paid off. Vanessa takes the expression “no pain, no gain” to the extreme, as the 36-year-old will stop at nothing to achieve her dream of possessing the world’s largest natural bottom. For the past 13 years, Vanessa has been striving for the title through vigorous daily workouts and a high-protein diet. But her extreme exercises are no easy feat, as she pushes her body to the limit and suffers extreme pain, which sometimes leaves her bedridden. But for model Vanessa, it’s completely worth it because her overstated bottom makes her feel confident and sexy. Vanessa, who lives in Brasilia, Brazil, says, “I like to be different to others. I have my…

Mary Adeturinmo, 29, lives in London and is currently studying for her Master’s degree in healthcare and design research. She says, “I was diagnosed with sickle cell disease before I was even born as the gene runs in my family. My first memory of it was when I was five and had excruciating pain in my legs. An ambulance was called, and I was quickly taken into hospital care. “My mum and sisters all have sickle cell, so growing up was sometimes a juggling act as we were often in and out of hospital. “When I suffered a sickle cell crisis, the pain could be in my legs, arms or back, and it’s excruciating. I’d need immediate help and strong painkillers to get my symptoms under control. “During one summer…

Fran Parman, who starred on The Only Way Is Essex from 2014 to 2017 alongside Ferne, says she should apologise for her “vile” actions. Fran says, “Ferne and Sam have been friends for years and how she can backstab her own friend like that is just awful. It’s vile, disgusting and shocking. “She may be embarrassed but she shouldn’t have said it in the first place, it’s her own fault. You should think before you speak. Girls should stick together and lift each other up. We worry about our weight anyway and to hear that from your friend? It’s just really unfair for Sam. “I’ve been through the experience of everyone saying I was overweight [Fran lost 31/2st in 2018] and I would never want another girl to feel that…

Hr shock decision to quit IIV'’ Starstruck after just one series and the strain of two relationship breakdowns had reportedly left friends worried for Sheridan Smith. The actress, 41, has suffered with mental health problems in the past and there were concerns that her recent splits from Jamie Horn and then afterwards boyfriend Alex Lawler may trigger some of her past demons. But now insiders say there’s one friend of the actress who has emerged as her rock - comedian and BGT judge David Walliams, who she recently worked with, and is starting a new project with this month.

Former primary school teacher and positive body image educator Anupa Roper, 44, has written a children’s book, Sparrow Legs, based on her nickname at school. She says • Think about what you say about other people to your child - try not to comment on their size and appearance. Don’t complain about your own appearance or do fad diets. Focus on everything apart from what you and they look like. • When your child is looking at social media, encourage questions and discussions about whether the pictures might be photoshopped or filtered. Get them to follow body positive accounts or those of people who look like them. • Show them that you love yourself whatever and they should love themselves too. Emphasise beauty comes from the inside, not the outside.…

ARE BRAD AND EMILY DATING? They’re two of the hottest celebrities on the showbiz circuit - and last week fans went into meltdown when it was reported that Emily Ratajowski and Brad Pitt have embarked on a secret romance. The 31-year-old model and 58-year-old actor are reportedly “spending a lot of time together” after it emerged that Brad had asked Emily out on a date. The pair - who met through mutual friends over the summer - were first linked back in late August, after mum-of-one Emily - who shares son Sylvester, one, with her ex Sebastian Bear-McClard - was spotted out and about with the actor, enjoying cosy dinners in New York. Despite their 27-year age gap, it’s said the two are getting on well - but choosing to…

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPICS OF THE WEEK A recent study found that people born after 1990 are more likely to develop cancer before the age of 50 than people born back in the ’70s or before. The idea that you’re more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than your grandparents or parents’ generation sounds scary, but it’s important to delve a little bit deeper into this research, and it actually reveals how much influence we can have over our future health. TRUST IN SCREENINGS Crucially, one of the reasons we’re seeing more cancer diagnoses in young people is that we’re spotting them earlier. Screening programmes for various cancers are so much better now than they were, so we catch cancer sooner, when it’s much…

It’s inevitable that having dated for close to a decade, I’ve built up a few walls. OK, that’s putting it mildly - I’ve constructed a cast-iron fortress. It’s a lonely place to be, and I know you - my fellow singles - will also feel stuck on the dating rotator going round and round. But what has given me some comfort is TV - no, not just for company, although that helps, but Married At First Sight. Ever since the Australian version became my lockdown obsession I’ve been hooked, and it’s no different with the latest UK series. I laugh, cry and, as uncomfortable as it is, learn what I’m doing wrong. Say what you like about reality TV (personally I love it), but it can help people - particularly a…

THE Boost Nutritionist Lily Soutter shares her top list of surprisingly freezeable foods… • AVOCADO If you’re tired of mouldy avocado halves in the fridge, cube your avocado, and freeze. Frozen avocado provides a cool, creamy flavour to smoothies. • CITRUS There’s nothing better than enjoying a perfectly chilled beverage with a slice of lemon or lime. Pre-slice and freeze to impress your guests at your next drinks party. • HERBS AND SPICES Try chopping garlic or onion, add to ice-cube trays with a dash of oil, and freeze. • SAUCES Pesto and tomato sauces freeze well. You can even freeze pizza dough and cheese, which makes pizza night much more convenient. • FRUIT There’s a big misconception that frozen fruit is less nourishing than fresh, but research has illustrated…

Celebrity culture expert Nick Ede believes that while Ferne’s reputation could be damaged, her feud could end up being the making of her Nick says, “I think the best thing Ferne can do in the short term is remain silent and not fuel the fire. There’s no denying it certainly sounds like Ferne in the recording; if so, it’s very sad, as they’ve been friends for such a long time. “Of course, we don’t know everything that has gone on behind the scenes between them, but this will be damaging and humiliating for Ferne. To body shame somebody - especially a friend who’s just had a baby - is shocking and brutal and she’ll certainly lose fans. “As a brand ambassador for positivity, this could definitely be damaging to her…

NEWS ‘SHE KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE UNDER NEGATIVE PUBLIC SCRUTINY’ She appeared to shrug off her family tension last Friday as Victoria Beckham made her stunning debut at Paris Fashion Week. All eyes were on the 48-year-old designer as she launched her latest collection at one of the world’s biggest style events. And while Posh enjoyed the kudos surrounding her prestigious brand’s first ever show in the French capital, insiders say it was tainted by the ongoing feud between her and her son, Brooklyn, 23, and new daughter-in-law, model Nicola Peltz, 27, who were also in Paris for the week’s festivities. After months of reported estrangement, tensions were said to have reached boiling point last week when it was claimed the couple hadn’t even been told that Victoria…

They finished in second place on Love Island in 2019, and now Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have announced they’re expecting their first child together. The 23-year-old PrettyLittleThing creative director announced the news with a sweet black and white video of the pair on the ITV show, while boxer Tommy, 23, shared a snap of him cradling Molly’s growing bump with the caption “a dream come true.” And fans are convinced the couple are expecting a girl after spotting what appeared to be a pink rattle in the influencer’s shopping trolley. While she hasn’t confirmed her due date, Molly took to Instagram to hint that a winter baby is on the cards. She wrote, “I set myself a goal to get to five months without people knowing… but we actually…

MATT & GEMMA Thomas and I said that we didn’t think it was going to work out for Gemma - but she was really trying. Matt should have just said, “This isn’t going to happen. Let’s just enjoy ourselves as singles.” JONATHAN & SOPHIE I had Sophie’s back when Jonathan upset her with his comments about women’s body shapes and weight. I honestly wouldn’t like the job of trying to pair people, but I commend her match with Jonathan. WHITNEY & DUKA There was a really big reaction when it was revealed that Whitney and Matt were giving things a go. It’s a shame that she and Duka didn’t work out because they went through a difficult process together.…

The couple are happier than ever - Mohamed even treated Iris to a romantic weekend away in London to celebrate her 83rd birthday recently.
