Bittersweettimes Despite her happiness at her best friend getting married, there’s no denying Kimberley Walsh’s wedding celebrations must have been difficult for bridesmaid Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, coming just weeks after reports of her split from husband JB. Cheryl feels she’d love nothing more than to be settled like Kimberley, with a baby of her own, and the Caribbean setting has brought back memories of her own beach-side wedding in 2014. But Cheryl’s a trouper and, despite her heartbreak, sources say she’s been determined to enjoy Kimberley’s big moment. Cheryl will no doubt get her fairy-tale ending – and everything she’s been through will only make it sweeter.…

e caused chaos within the Kardashian H clan last week after breaking the news he was dating model Blac Chyna – the arch nemesis of his half-sister Kylie Jenner and the former fiancée of her boyfriend Tyga. Now the infamous family have accused Rob of betraying them and begged him to stop. Rob even went as far as to taunt his family on Instagram by suggesting Blac – who has son King Cairo, three, with Tyga – could be pregnant with his child. The caption read: “Blac Chyna probably out shopping rite now as she plan to give birth to the only next generation of the Kardashian name [sic].” Following the scandal, reclusive Rob, 28 – who’s been battling depression and a reported 7st weight gain over the past couple…

Lifestyle guru Gillian McKeith – who visited the CBB house last week to test the housemates’ stool samples in a detox task – tells Closer that Stephanie Davis is not ready for a romance with Jeremy McConnell. She says: “Jeremy and Stephanie had vile-smelling samples, and it’s because they were so emotionally stressed. From talking to them about their relationship before I saw the samples, I knew they wouldn’t have healthy bowel movements. I personally don’t think Stephanie is ready for a relationship with Jeremy – she’s very emotionally vulnerable and extremely anxious about how the public are reacting to her. “I think there is definite chemistry between them, they get on well together. She just doesn’t have the emotional strength to stay away from him, but I advised Jeremy…

She has admitted to suffering from depression in the past but last year revealed that the birth of her seven-month-old daughter Matilda has helped her to finally beat her demons. However, Helen Flanagan is said to be going through a tough time as she faces the upheaval of moving – the fourth time in five years – to go back to Swansea for her footballer boyfriend Scott Sinclair. The actress, 25, has already had to move three times for his career, first to Swansea in 2011, then to Manchester a year later and then to Birmingham two years ago. But after a disappointing season, insiders say Scott, 26, is said to be looking to go back home to Swansea where he is more comfortable – although there are rumours that…

They were snapped looking loved up in St Barts over New Year, but it seems Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner’s three-month fling may have hit a bump in the road. Last week, stylist Pandora Lennard, 27 – the sister of reality star Jasmine Lennard – was snapped outside the One Direction star’s home. And reports claimed she’d spent the night. Harry, 21 – who has previously been linked to Taylor Swift, Victoria’s Secret model Georgia Fowler and Caroline Flack – has not publicly commented on the rumours, but privately pals say he’s hurt by the claims and has begged Kendall not to believe them. A source says: “Harry was devastated by the claims – there is no truth in them. He’s crazy about Kendall and will do anything to patch…

They have admitted to spending every day together for the past six months, so when Georgia May Foote was spotted flashing a ring last week it sparked speculation of wedding bells for her and her Strictly partner Giovanni Pernice. The former Corrie actress was quick to deny the engagement rumours by insisting it was a commitment ring, but insiders reveal that Georgia is sure she has found The One. A source says: “She’s desperate to marry this year and would also love to start a family soon. She can’t wait to become Mrs Pernice.” But pals fear Georgia, 24 – whose relationship with actor Sean Ward, 27, ended shortly before she started dating Giovanni, 25 – could be rushing into her new romance. A source says: “Friends and family are…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Lauren Pope, 33, Jade Thirlwall, 23 We bet TOWIE’s Lauren and Little Mix star Jade wished they’d consulted wardrobes before turning up to the same event in the very same Self-Portrait jumpsuit – with practically identical accessories and hair! But, hey, at least they both look equally gorgeous. VERDICT This one is far too close to call, making it a solid tie. Great minds think alike… STYLE CRUSH! LOVELY LILY DOES IT AGAIN! Lily James, 26 This appliqué floral frock deserves to take centre stage – just like stunning War & Peace star Lily! Her oxblood courts and wavy ombre lob (that’s a long bob in case you were wondering…) are bang on trend, too. OFF-DUTY WOW Pixie Lott, 25 Our Pixie is the queen of…

FRIENDS Rumours have swirled and Matthew Perry got hopes up last week, saying: “We’d be open to doing some kind of TV special.” MY SO-CALLED LIFE Claire Danes starred in this 1994 classic about the trials of being a 15-year-old girl. It only ran for one season – we deserved more. MEN BEHAVING BADLY Running for six years from 1992, Martin Clunes and Neil Morrissey became cultural icons as laddish, lovable flatmates Gary and Tony. OUR FRIENDS IN THE NORTH Christopher Eccleston said last year he was “hopeful” for a revival of this show about a group of pals, also starring Daniel Craig.…

TRADE SECRETS… Vichy expert and make-up artist Claire Ray shares her top tip for fuller lashes, saying: “If you have sparse eyelashes, dust translucent powder over them before you apply your mascara to thicken them up.” ON TRIAL This week we tried mascaras from £1.99 to £32. Here are our top three 1 DOUBLE-THICK LASHES This had a unique twisted wand which didn’t overload lashes. They looked doubly thick but neat, too. 2 LIFTS & LENGTHENS Mascara connoisseurs have ranked this a top favourite and we agree! It’s pricey but for short, sparse lashes it was a saviour – lengthening, lifting and thickening. 3 NO SMUDGING After a day’s use we were left with no panda eyes or crumbs – impressive! It also did a great job of catching tiny…

Lunch is a salad with lots of grains and vegetables or a sandwich with smoked salmon and smashed avocado, then I’ll have a veggie omelette for dinner – I add fish sauce, soy…

Apparently 87 per cent of people would eat food dropped on the floor, almost one in 10 Brits has shared a toothbrush and 100,000 Chinese drink their own wee. Want to know my views on these habits? Read on... DRINKING YOUR WEE Your wee contains toxins, broken-down parts of cells and salt, so drinking it isn’t beneficial. Your body retains the amount of water needed; hence why your pee is very dark when you’re dehydrated and clear when you’re hydrated. Apparently as many as 100,000 Chinese people drink it because they think it cures stomach complaints – but there’s no evidence of that. Sports stars drink it because they don’t want to miss out on any of the vitamins they’ve taken – that’s just being cheap! You’re trying to beat…

TOWIE’S ARG We catch up with TOWIE star James ‘Arg’ Argent, 28, who’s currently battling against the sweet stuff on ITV’s Sugar Free Farm (not to mention also competing on C4’s The Jump…) You filmed Sugar Free Farm last year – have you managed to keep up the good work? Well, I’m only human! The programme was filmed in September, then I went into panto in Portsmouth and then it was Christmas. As time goes on you do start slipping back into old habits. I can’t say I’ve completely cut it out since the show, but I definitely think about what I’m eating more. You’re something of a yo-yo dieter – are you happier slimmer? I’ve tried various diets over the years and I do feel…

Has Tommy changed at all? He’s a changed man with what he has been through, but he’s still a psychopath. Though the images you see of him in prison may lead you to believe he has changed. And you have a new look? For someone like Tommy, he has two choices going into prison: be destroyed by it or take control. We went with the latter, so shaving his head and showing he has got fit is his way of taking charge. Do Tommy and Catherine meet? Being a murderous psychopath means there aren’t many opportunities to get out for a day-release trip. However, there is a funeral… I only got to film with Sarah Lancashire for an hour, which was exciting because both of us spend so much time…

1 RICK STEIN’S TASTE OF SHANGHAI YUMMY FOOD WITH RICK MON 8 FEB, 9PM, BBC2 “We all love a Chinese,” says the jolly Rick Stein, who gets to visit the city of Shanghai, then shows us how to make the scrummiest dishes from his trip – including dumplings so delicate they burst at the slightest touch. “If, like me, you thought you knew Chinese food, you’re in for a surprise,” he says. 2 THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW WITH ANT AND DEC! FRI 12 FEB, 10.35PM, BBC1 He had us at Ant and Dec… The boys are on the sofa, sharing bottom space with the lovely Julianne Moore.

Her scarily thin frame caused shockwaves last summer, and last month it was reported that during this time the star was dealing with the breakdown of her marriage to Jean-Bernard. But after enduring so much heartache, last week marked a turning point for Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. The 32 year old was all smiles as she arrived in Barbados for Kimberley Walsh’s wedding, alongside former Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts. LESS STRESSED Leading up to the big day Cheryl, who called for body shaming to be made illegal last September, shared a bikini selfie showing her on the road to looking healthier and pals say the star is determined to focus on her health to help mend her broken heart. A source says: “Cheryl has had a tough time and now admits…

Since they got together in 2012, Emily MacDonagh has stayed by husband Peter Andre’s side as he took centre stage. But last week the 26-year-old doctor – who has daughter Amelia, two, with Pete – was photographed on her own at a showbiz event the couple were attending and later posed for pictures with Danielle Lloyd. Pals reveal Emily is ready to have her own celebrity career but Pete, 42, is concerned about the effect it could have on their relationship. A source says: “Now Emily has finished her medical studies and Amelia is older, she’s happy to spend time in the spotlight too. She’d love to continue with medicine but branch into having her own column in a magazine, or appear on chat shows to give advice. She has…

Shortly after Bellfield was caged for life in 2008 for murdering Marsha McDonnell and Amélie Delagrange, and trying to kill Kate Sheedy, Bellfield’s ex of seven years and mother to three of his children, Emma Mills, spoke to Closer about her life with brutal Bellfield. Emma met Bellfield in 1996 when he was a bouncer at her local nightclub in Cobham, Surrey, when she was just 18. She said: “He was my first proper boyfriend. Naively, I thought he loved me.” But within six months Emma had seen a new, frightening side to Bellfield, and she became victim to his brutal attacks – often hitting and raping her. TRAPPED BY TERROR Tragically, Emma says she stayed with Bellfield because she blamed herself for angering him and…

Coleen Rooney was thrilled to welcome her third son, Kit, into the world last week and proudly Tweeted a photo of him with his older brothers, saying: “Love at first sight!! My boys.” Meanwhile husband Wayne, 30, shared a touching snap of him cradling the newborn on Instagram. And sources say the couple – who also have Kai, six, and Klay, two – have happily settled their new arrival into life at their £5m Cheshire mansion. A friend says: “Coleen was desperate to get home, and checked out of hospital in Liverpool the day after the birth. The labour was relatively drama free and she had a great midwife by her side, as well as Wayne and her parents.” FOOD CRAVINGS The pal adds: “Kai and Klay are loving their…

A primary school headteacher has written to parents requesting they get dressed in the morning and stop dropping off their children while still wearing pyjamas. Kate Chisholm, headteacher at Skerne Park Academy, Darlington, took action after she noticed an increase in the amount of parents in nightwear at the school gates, assemblies and meetings. Karen Routh, 49, (right) was pictured taking her eight-year-old daughter Holly to the school in her PJs, but said: “I don’t usually come in pyjamas, but I was running late.” Meanwhile, mum-of-three Kim Daniel, 23, removed her children from the school, accusing the headteacher of double standards after she claimed she was seen “dressed in a low-cut top, talking on her mobile, wearing high heels.” She fumed: “What example is she setting the kids?” Is it…

They may have only been dating for two months, but Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid have already cemented themselves as showbiz’s hottest young couple, with the supermodel even appearing in the video for his new single Pillowtalk . Ex-One Directioner Zayn, 23 – who was previously engaged to Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards, 22 – and model Gigi, 20, first met at Kendall Jenner’s 18th birthday party, and were said to be crazy about each other. But sources say there is trouble in paradise. An insider says: “They have been bickering a little recently. Zayn also has recording commitments in the UK and will have to spend weeks apart from Gigi in the next few months. She’s worried they’ll struggle with the distance. “Zayn has promised Gigi that he’s crazy about…

After hitting back at split rumours and claiming that they “are very happy,” insiders say Ben Cohen has told Kristina Rihanoff that he intends to propose. Closer reported two weeks ago how Ben was worried when the 38-year-old ex-Strictly dancer announced her shock pregnancy on Celebrity Big Brother – and he was noticeably not there to greet her when she left the house, leading to rumours they were “leading separate lives.” But pals say former rugby star Ben, 37, was just being sensitive to his ex-wife Abby and their seven-year-old twin daughters Harriette and Isabelle. A source says: “Ben adores Kristina and is looking forward to having a baby with her. He’s already told her he is planning to propose and she’s thrilled. But Ben is very sensitive to the…

They’ve had an ongoing spat ever since Vicky Pattison reportedly hit out at her former Geordie Shore co-star Charlotte Crosby last year, with claims she’d accused her of copying her weight loss. And judging by Vicky’s recent comments about Charlotte’s nose job, the pair might still have some making up to do. Charlotte, 25, has just had the “hook’” in her nose corrected. But when Closer asks Vicky’s opinion, she says: “I’ve not seen Charlotte’s new nose, I’m not against surgery but I’m not in a rush to alter my face. I like looking unique. I think once you start getting stuff done to your face there is a sense of uniformity to it and you begin looking like everyone else who has had something done.” A SPARK WITH SPENCER…

‘I’ve moved on from my life with George and I’m happy’ It’s only been three months since her turbulent marriage to husband George Kay imploded, but ever-optimistic Kerry Katona tells Closer she still hasn’t given up on love and would even consider tying the knot again. She says: “I’m an old romantic and I still want my happy ending. At the moment that’s a hell of a long time away. I’m just learning to love myself the way I deserve to be loved, but I’ve moved on from my life with George and I’m happy.” The Atomic Kitten star has had more than her fair share of heartache. Her first marriage to Brian McFadden – father of her girls Molly, 14, and Lilly-Sue, who turns 13 this week – ended…

“I’M FILMING BGT , so I get up at 7.45am and my car picks me up at 9am to get to the Dominion Theatre in London. We’re filming in three cities this year. I’ll be in Birmingham next. I ARRIVE AT THE THEATRE AT 10.30AM and head into make-up. Lisa Armstrong – who is head of make-up and married to Ant – works her wonders while I go over my lines, then we’re on camera for 11am. IT’S RARE WE GET A LUNCH BREAK. The show has a table full of chocolate and I end up grabbing a bar. I’d like to say I’m healthy on tour, but I’m not!

1 Use a sock to cover your hand under a tanning mitt. This stops it from soaking through. I’ve toned down my tan since X Factor , from medium to light. St Moriz is still the winner for me – and it’s cheap! 2 Use a hair mask once a week. I apply it, wrap my hair in a carrier bag and sleep in it for a deep condition. I’m not fussy on the mask – I just buy a sachet in the supermarket. 3 I learnt how to keep my make-up on all night from the show’s makeup artists. I use the Smashbox Primer, Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick and NARS Setting Powder (£26.50). It worked wonders under the studio lights! 4 Take care of your skin. My sister introduced…

If you want to shape up, work out what makes you overeat, so says celeb personal trainer Dalton Wong, who reasons: “Emotional eating is the single biggest reason for weight gain and fatigue. It’s estimated 75 per cent of what we eat is governed by emotions. If you can get a grip on emotional eating, this will stop you feeling powerless around food.” Dalton, who has trained Jennifer Lawrence, Amanda Seyfried and Zoë Kravitz, adds: “Even if you just spend 15 minutes a day making small changes, this all adds up to help you feel fitter and healthier.” Read on for his tips to suss your inner emotional eater. LATE-NIGHT EATER You can sometimes go all day hardly eating, only to overeat in the evening. This can happen when you…

\Women are hardwired to care about others and go out of their way to make sure they don’t offend, so we often say “sorry” as an involuntary response – dubbed “sorry syndrome.” With this in mind, a tool has been created to scan emails that search out words like “sorry,” “just” and “I’m not an expert” to alert people to their overuse of apologetic terms. It may seem patronising, but research suggests women who are constantly apologetic are seen as timid and are therefore less likely to do as well at work. So how do you take control of “sorry syndrome?” STOP SAYING SORRY ON AUTOPILOT • KEEP IT GENUINE Apologising sincerely should be used in strict moderation. If you say sorry all the time you will appear disingenuous when…

She’s been sleeping rough and Eva finds out she’s been kept as a slave by a family called the O’Driscolls.

We’re used to seeing Eva’s feisty and bitchy side, but she has a good heart and she takes Marta under her wing. She brings her food and drink and tries to make her as comfortable as she can. She tells Billy the vicar and then confides in Aidan, but she doesn’t mention that Marta was being kept by the O’Driscolls.

After 14 years together, Kimberley Walsh and Justin Scott headed to Barbados last week for their wedding, joined by bridesmaids Cheryl and Nicola and other celeb pals including Denise Van Outen and Kara Tointon. Kimberley, 34, told Closer last year that she “loves being a mum” to 15-month-old Bobby and that she wants more children – and as she settles into married life, the singer and West End star has told pals she’s now ready to add to her brood. A source reveals: “Baby number two was always going to be the plan after the wedding, Kimberley wanted to wait until work calmed down. She’s had a lot on performing in Elf: The Musical before Christmas, but she can’t wait to be a mum for a second time. She’s daydreaming…

CAT DEELEY She started out on Saturday morning telly SMTV Live in 1998, but after a stint on talent show Fame Academy, Cat, 39, relocated to LA and hit the big time presenting So You Think You Can Dance. She’s since been nominated for four Emmys. ABI TITMUSS Last year former glamour model and Celebrity Love Island star Abi, 39, headed to LA to launch her acting career and she’s not looked back since. She’s now starring in hit show Days Of Our Lives and has landed roles in several films. ‘You have to bring a skill to the table to succeed’ Fellow TOWIE star Lauren Pope, 33 – who runs multiple hair and beauty businesses and DJs across the world – says: “I’ve worked as a DJ all over…

‘Kim is fed up of Kanye shooting his mouth off’ He’s no stranger to feuds, but last week Kanye West had one of his most epic stand-offs to date after an explicit war of words with his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose. THE LAST STRAW Kanye, 38, reignited his longstanding war with Amber, who he dated for two years until 2010, after becoming embroiled in a bitter Twitter battle with Amber’s rapper ex husband, Wiz Khalifa. Insiders say his wife, Kim Kardashian, has been left fuming over the ugly showdown, in which Amber gave an explicit insight into her sex life with Kanye. A source says: “Things between Kim and Kanye have been strained lately anyway as he’s been working hard on his new album and they’ve been rowing lots. “The showdown…

He admits he went into the CBBhouse to show people the “real” him, and Darren Day has won over the public with his easygoing charm and integrity, fast becoming one of the favourites to win. Once the golden boy of the West End stage, the star – who had a string of celeb girlfriends including Anna Friel and Isla Fisher – suffered a fall from grace in the late ’90s when he hit the headlines for his womanising and later admitted to a £2k-a-week cocaine habit. He credits his wife Stephanie Dooley – with whom he has daughter Madison, nine, son Dalton, two, plus stepson Jordan, 16 – for saving him. Closer’s therapist Emma Kenny has interviewed Darren, 47 – who’s also dad to 11-year-old Corey with ex Suzanne Shaw…

Singer Natasha Hamilton, 33, is mum to Josh, 13, Harry, 11, Alfie, five, from previous relationships, and Ella, 16 months, with fiancé Ritchie Neville. She had Ella’s placenta turned into capsules and says they made her feel amazing... “Before Ella was born in September 2014, I’d heard you could eat your placenta after giving birth, but the thought made me squeamish! Then my midwife told me I could get it made into capsules and, when I researched it online, I found there were lots of women who said it helped with their milk supply. They also said it could help with postnatal depression, which I had suffered with after having my first child Josh, so I didn’t see any harm in trying it. “Straight after I gave birth to Ella,…

Louis Tomlinson proudly Tweeted the news that he had finally become a dad last week, but sources say the new arrival is already causing increased tension in his love life. Three days after The One Direction star’s ex Briana Jungwirth gave birth to their son Freddie, Louis was snapped barefoot carrying his son in a car seat outside Briana’s new home in Calabasas, California. Stylist Briana, 23, fell pregnant after a fling with Louis, 24, last year and despite deciding not to stay in a relationship,the pair have remained close. But sources say Louis is now keen for his new girlfriend, US actress Danielle Campbell, to meet his son – and the situation is causing tension with ex Briana. A source says: “Louis really wants Danielle to meet Freddie soon…

I’VE NOT BEEN FELINE MYSELF LATELY... It’s not unusual to hear people talk about being born in the wrong body, but for this confused woman, it’s not gender she’s having issues with. Nano, a 20-year-old from Norway, says she’s a cat trapped in a human body, and claims doctors have even diagnosed her with a “genetic defect.” As if to prove her point, Nano says she can see in the dark, has incredible hearing, and even “hisses” when she sees a dog. She says: “I was born in the wrong species. It’s obvious that I’m a cat when I start purring and meowing and walking around on four legs and stuff like that. I also love to sleep in the sink and on the windowsill.” That can’t be a comfy…

‘I love showing off my boobs in bed!’ AGE: 53 HEIGHT: 5FT 1 WEIGHT: 9ST 3LBS DRESS SIZE: 8-10 It’s been a dramatic journey to body confidence for Tina Malone, who has not only lost 11½st, but also gone through four major operations to nip and tuck her entire body. But for the actress it’s all been worth it, and she admits that after 18 years of feeling unhappy with her figure, she’s ecstatic to have the body of her dreams. “I’m finally happy with my body,” she beams on Closer’s exclusive photo shoot. “I’d been a big fat bird for so many years, losing the weight was great and these operations have been the icing on the cake. I walk around the house naked now because I’ve got a…

Tracy says: “We do 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of muscular structure [exercises to give a lean, feminine shape] and we change the workout every 10 workouts.” To keep her infamous bum toned, the star uses weights while she squats. THE FOODS J-Lo, 46, has a balanced diet full of organic veg and lean protein, avoiding processed foods, sugar and caffeine. Breakfast is a berry smoothie, lunch is a kale and salmon salad, then dinner is grilled chicken, sweet potato and veg.

What are you scared of? The sea. I hate the fact you can’t see and don’t know what’s around you. Ever had a near-death experience? I nearly drowned filming for Nickelodeon. I was dressed as a dog in a competition to see who could doggy paddle the fastest, and the wet fur was so heavy it weighed me down. A producer pulled me out. Who was your first kiss?
