Brand Sussex took another huge knock when Harry's ongoing privacy trial against a British newspaper hit a setback when his hacking allegations were thrown out of court last week. This latest blow to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bid to rebuild their reputation as California's golden couple comes just weeks after their £16 million Spotify deal was dropped – and as they're still finding themselves at the centre of a huge public backlash, their rebrand is becoming increasingly more desperate. STRUGGLING But while they continue to insist they're relieved to have left the royals – against whom they levelled allegations of racism and bullying – a source now reveals how Meghan has been struggling to watch Prince William and Kate Middleton thriving and enjoying their best summer yet. The insider…

AMANDA'S STEANY GETAWAY She's a doting mum to her two daughters – Lexi, 17, and Hollie, 11 – but last week, Amanda Holden jetted off to a picturesque beachside location for a romantic break alone with husband Chris Hughes. Sharing a picture of herself looking stunning in a green bikini as she posed in front of an ocean view, Amanda, 52, wrote on Instagram, “Just me…my love and a few bikinis.

The 36-year-old actor – who stars as businessman Matthew Aylward on the show – has separated from his make-up artist girlfriend Natasha Fagri, thought to be in her 30s, after seven years of dating.

But 13 years on, Lisa, 40, and her now husband Serdar Copur, 41, a marketing manager, have two children and couldn't be happier. Lisa, 40, says, “I had no idea of the tidal wave of negativity our blossoming relationship would come up against.

Latest statistics from Cancer Research UK show that deadly melanoma skin cancer cases have reached an all-time high. According to the charity, 17,500 cases are diagnosed every year, and it's predicted numbers could increase by 50 per cent over the next 20 years. New research from King Edward VII hospital has revealed one in five Brits never wears sun protection. Reasons for neglecting to use it vary – almost a third are put off by the increasing price of sun cream amid the cost-of-living crisis, four in 10 admit it's because having a tan makes them look healthier, and a fifth want to recreate the look of bronzed influencers. Meanwhile, three in 10 people don't believe it's hot enough in the UK to need it. Skin cancer expert Dr Ross…

The reality star gave birth to son Stanley four months ago and is completely besotted. MOTHERHOOD “Being a mum is the best thing ever – I'm really, really enjoying it and feel so lucky,” she beams. “Stanley is such a happy little boy, he only really cries if he's hungry or tired, and I just love the smiles and the cuddles. I'm really lucky though, I do get a lot of help from my mum and our families. My nan is amazing, she'll drive past and message first, asking if I've got any washing she can do.” Amy, who starred on Love Island in 2019,…

TV STAR MILLIE MACKINTOSH, 33, ON HOW SHE LOOKS AFTER HER BODY AND MIND I LOVE WAKING UP BEFORE THE REST OF THE HOUSE… I go to bed early so I can get eight hours of sleep and I'm up at 5am. I enjoy the quiet time before my girls, Sienna, [three] and Aurelia, [20 months] are up. I'll do a bit of meditation as it's really important to me and makes me feel grounded for the day. Then I'll take a shot of Symprove to help with gut health and IBS symptoms. Then I'll do some mat yoga, the girls will join in too. I TRY TO TAKE ONE MOMENT FOR MYSELF EACH WEEK… Just something that makes me feel calmer, for example reflexology. GIVING UP ALCOHOL HAS BEEN…

The couple, along with their three children – Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and fiveyearold Prince Louis – are currently enjoying a summer break at their Norfolk home, Amner Hall, where they are joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Edward, and his wife, Duchess Sophie.

They've become one of the mostloved up success stories to ever emerge from the Love Island villa – and fans and celeb pals were delighted last week by the news that MollyMae Hague and Tommy Fury were engaged after he popped the question on holiday. Four years after meeting on the ITV2 show in 2019, Molly and Tommy, both 24, announced their happy news on social media, with the boxer writing, “To my perfect fiancée…forever wouldn't be long enough to call you mine”.

Rumours swirled last week that Reese Witherspoon's ex-husband Jim Toth had been spotted with a new flame, four months after the couple announced their shock split. According to reports, actor and producer Jim was staying with a new “girlfriend” in Costa Rica and the dynamic was “definitely romantic”. And insiders say that while Jim may have begun a new romantic chapter, Reese, 47, is also keen to get back on the dating scene. A source says, “Reese isn't the type to sit around feeling sorry for herself, but when she found out Jim was taking his new girlfriend on a romantic vacation, it triggered her. It's not that she wants him back – and part of her is happy for him – but she's finding dating after divorce really challenging.…

It was reported that the 30-year-old singer had been growing close to Ethan, 31, while filming the musical in London An insider shares, “Ariana and Ethan weren't careful.

After welcoming her second child into the world, Gemma Atkinson has opened up about her birth – and made a very saucy joke about husband Gorka Marquez. The actress, 38, and Strictly dancer, 32 – who already share daughter Mia, four – welcomed their son Thiago last week, with Gemma revealing she underwent a C-section. And after sharing that her mother had moved in to help her recover from the birth, Gemma cheekily joked, “As I always do with every situation, I've looked for the silver lining, which in this case is after two babies, Gorka's favourite pub is still very much intact and neat.”…

She became a mum last August when she welcomed her daughter Bodhi. And now Chloe Madeley tells Closer about the journey she has been on over the past 11 months as she has adapted to motherhood. Explaining that starting a family has made her feel “stronger as a woman”, she says, “I've learned that I am a hell of a lot more capable than I thought. When I was pregnant, I just remember constantly being like, ‘I don't know how to have a baby. I don't know what the f**k I'm doing!’ But I am doing it and I am capable. I would just say to anyone reading this, ‘You just had a baby, keep trying to figure it out every day. Be patient with yourself’.” Chloe – whose parents…

Amy Holland, 39, lives with her partner Lee, 37, a roofer, in Bracknell. She's a part-time cleaner and has four sons aged between 19 and seven. She says, “The recent skin cancer statistics are worrying, but if I'm honest I'll blank them from my mind. These days we're bombarded with facts about different things that can give us cancer, from eating bacon to smoking cigarettes, and I feel that if I took notice of all of them, I'd never do anything. PRESSURE “I love having a tan – I look better and feel better with one and there's so much pressure to look good these days. I sunbathe whenever I can and go on sunbeds twice a week. My tanning addiction started when I was about 16. Back then people…

Like most of us, Amy has been glued to this year's Love Island, even presenting a podcast on it. She says, “Whitney is my favourite, I love her and I do like Lochan so I'm happy they're together. “It is weird watching it when you've been on it, but I still love it. I applied to be on Love Island because it's my favourite TV show. I was addicted to series four and I saw lots of couples on there who wouldn't have met anywhere else, and I couldn't find anyone so I thought, ‘Maybe that's where I'm going to meet my person?’ Obviously that didn't happen but I've met Sam now, and my life has changed so much.”…

ALL ABOUT YOU LIFT YOURSELF UP WHEN LIFE IS TOUGH Feeling low is horrible – whether you're trying to get pregnant, trapped in a joyless job, or you want a fulfilling relationship – but you can change your mindset If things have been rough for you, it's OK to allow yourself to just sit in that feeling of disappointment for a while – but know when to stop. Decide, “I've allowed myself to feel rubbish but I will then say goodbye to that moment and think what can I do about my situation?”. Write down what's going on, or a few statements about how you're feeling right now, and how you want to feel. Then ask yourself what needs to happen and what resources you have that can help you.…

She's been a much-loved face on This Morning since 2019, but following Phillip Schofield's departure in May, Josie Gibson's popularity catapulted almost overnight to earn her the title of daytime TV's new golden girl. And last week, TV bosses at ITV and the BBC went head-tohead in a battle to win over the rising star for two of their biggest shows – ITV's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and BBC's Strictly Come Dancing. A source has since revealed that Josie, 38, has now signed a six-figure deal – a number usually reserved for the show's biggest stars – with ITV to enter the jungle later this year. A source says, “She's incredibly down-to-earth and seems to strike a chord with people at home. Plus [ITV bosses] are…

Crushed by hordes of people frantically trying to get on a boat, and watching flames rolling in ever closer, Rebecca Quilliam-Brown desperately tried to fight her panic. She had no idea how they were going to escape the fires raging through Rhodes last week, where she was just a few days into her holiday with husband Gareth Brown, 38, and their two children, Evie-Rose, nine, and Oliver, three. Rebecca, 33, who works in recruitment and lives near Stoke-on-Trent, says, “I couldn't believe this was happening to us, it was chaos. And it all happened so quickly, one moment we were being reassured that our hotel would be safe, the next sirens were wailing for us to be evacuated. VULNERABLE “We only had time to grab absolute essentials like our passports.…

NEWS She's already a car saleswomanturned millionaire reality star and showbiz icon – and Gemma Collins’ career may be about to reach even dizzier heights, as it's rumoured she's in talks to join the next series of Strictly Come Dancing. The former TOWIE star – who previously appeared on I'm A Celebrity! and Dancing On Ice – has made no secret of the fact she'd love to add Strictly to her list of reality TV appearances. She revealed in May, “Do you know what, I would love to do it. They had a plussize girl on there last year.

NEWS Kim Kardashian and Tristan Thompson made headlines last week after they were spotted hanging out together in Miami. And now, an insider reveals that their escapades – which involved watching Lionel Messi's footballing debut for Inter Miami FC and later grabbing food at a Japanese eatery – have landed them in hot water with her sister and his on/off ex-girlfriend, Khloé. Khloé, 39, and NBA star Tristan, 32 – who share two children, True, five, and oneyearold Tatum – were in a rocky relationship between 2016 and 2021. It was plagued by his multiple infidelities, the most recent being his relationship with Maralee Nichols, during which he fathered a child with her. And a source now reveals to Closer that Khloé felt threatened by her sister and ex-partner's “cosy”…

EastEnders actress Patsy Kensit has called off her fifth engagement to millionaire Patric Cassidy. Patsy, 55, got engaged to property magnate Patric, 56, last year, after an alleged five-week whirlwind romance. It was reported last month that the pair had had a public bust-up at a charity event, during which Patric “snatched the ring” off Patsy's finger – with Patsy's team confirming last week that their romance was over. They got engaged last September while dining in a Mayfair restaurant, going on to buy their fellow diners champagne to celebrate. The couple then had their official engagement in February, with Patric proposing while surrounded by heart-shaped flowers. The engagement marked Patsy's fifth shot at love. She first married Big Audio Dynamite's Dan Donovan, 60, in 1988, divorcing in 1991. One year…

Former X Factor star Lucy Spraggan left fans in shock recently when she opened up about how, 11 years ago, her life changed overnight when she auditioned for The X Factor. After getting through to the live shows of the ninth series in 2012, she dramatically pulled out – at the time claiming it was due to illness. But last month, she revealed the horrifying truth – that she'd been forced to withdraw from the show when she was raped by a hotel porter after a night out with fellow finalist and close pal Rylan Clark. But now the star, 32 – who is signed to Simon Cowell's label, Syco Music, and has a new album out this month – is in a blossoming romance with teaching assistant Evangeline Rebekah,…

● Frequently check your skin for irregularities which could be the signs of early skin cancer. Things to look out for are a mole or growth which is new, or an existing one that has changed in size, shape, feel or colour. Also any sign of itching, tenderness, crusting or bleeding. See your GP straight away to get it checked out ● Check your body by standing naked in front of a full-length mirror, bend your elbows and examine your forearms and the backs and palms of your hands. Grab an additional mirror and check the back of your legs, bottom of your feet and back of the neck and under the hairline. ● Sun exposure is a known factor for increasing the risk of skin cancer and even the…

GIVE CHILDREN SOME CHOICES Charlotte says children are much more likely to eat their food if they are given some choices, even simple ones. “Obviously you can't go around taking orders for dinner because you're not a restaurant, and I'm a big advocate for cooking one meal for the whole family, but that doesn't mean you can't give your children choices over what they eat,” explains Charlotte, “Allow some autonomy, ‘Would you like peas or carrots with your dinner?’, or, ‘Would you like pasta or a jacket potato tonight?’ One of the things I try to do is offer sides. So, if I'm making a curry, my daughter might be a bit fussy with the actual curry, but I know she will eat the yoghurt, rice and peas so she's…

There's been a 40% increase in deaths from liver cancer in a decade, it's the fastest rising cause of cancer death in the UK, and since the early 1970s, mortality rates have more than tripled. Those stats are pretty shocking and make me as a medic feel like we're not doing very well, but liver cancer is heavily influenced by lifestyle, and in recent decades we've unfortunately leant towards doing things that make liver health worse. EAT FEWER FATTY FOODS The British Liver Trust says the key drivers of liver cancer are alcohol and obesity. You might only think of alcohol when it comes to liver damage, but if you overeat consistently, over time you'll infiltrate your liver with fat so it's less and less able to do its job…

What I'm about to say is ironic given that I write about dating for this very magazine, but I think we all need to be more careful with what we share about our experiences while looking for love. We live in a world of oversharing, where screenshots of messages can be sent to friends, posted to social media and so on, but when the conversation was intended to be a private one between two people, is it fair we show our mates or post on public platforms online? Recently, a screenshot of a man inviting a woman to go for ice cream on a date went viral, it gained over 60,000 likes on Twitter and the conversation (and perhaps controversy) continued on TikTok and Reddit. The interest in the screenshot…

When it comes to gifting, there are smart ways to save. “Contributing to a larger gift with other guests is an easy way to give a gift they'll love without breaking the bank. Always pay via a cashback site like TopCashback or Quidco (many retailers offer 10 per cent cashback which can be a significant saving),” explains David. “Don't rule out offering your services, skills and talents either. “If you're a great photographer, could you offer to take wedding photos as a gift? Or could you suggest making the cake or helping to arrange the flowers for the tables? You'll not only save money, but you'll save the newlyweds cash, too.” If you give cash, think “personal”. “Even if it's only £20, explain to the couple it's for a couple…
