Innholdsfortegnelse for 28 June 2016 i Closer

Don’t take it too far She’s endured her fair share of scrutiny over her appearance, even posing naked for Closer in 2013 to quash false rumours she’d had surgery. But now, at the age of 33, Atomic Kitten’s Natasha Hamilton (right) admits she’s finally succumbed to having work done, saying: “I’m at an age where I feel it will help – and I want to feel good about myself.” Newly single Natasha is refreshingly honest about her battle to love her body again after four children – and while she’s no longer adverse to a little Botox and fillers, is adamant she won’t go to extremes. She’s right to have a limit – why risk taking it too far when you’ve got a body and looks most women would kill…

Danielle Lloyd was recently left devastated after her fiancé Michael O’Neill was reportedly involved in a brawl with her ex, Jamie O’Hara, over a threesome the footballer allegedly had with two women during their marriage. And now pals say the star wants to relocate to the US for a clean slate. The model, who has three sons – Archie, five, Harry, four, and George, two – was spotted in Beverly Hills last week, where she had been having meetings to talk about opportunities in LA. A source says: “Danielle is keen to break the US as a presenter and is hoping to secure her own reality show to boost her profile over there. She’s not done any proper presenting before, but she’s already been getting attention from producers who love…

Former boxing promoter and Celebrity Big Brother housemate Kellie Maloney, 63 – dad to Emma, Sophie and Libby – transitioned to a woman in 2014. She says: “Caitlyn is seen as living a glamorous life, but the reality is that it’s a hard journey – you can lose a lot of friends and family. “Caitlyn is 66, and when you see her out in these tiny miniskirts it does look like she’s just trying to compete with the Kardashians. It’d be like me trying to compete with my daughters. “I lived knowing my true gender was female for 60 years, but I couldn’t expect my family to immediately understand when I told them I was becoming a woman. You have to involve your family with everything you’re doing in the…

She’s spoken openly about her countless cosmetic procedures in the past and last week Jordan claimed she’d had her ninth breast op, announcing on Twitter: “Wooo finally I’m healed happy have amazing boobs [sic].” But pals say the 38-year-old – who has previously admitted to having liposuction, Botox and lip fillers – has actually had an additional two procedures on her boobs, bringing the total to 11 ops on her breasts alone. Insiders say Jordan – real name Katie Price and mum to Harvey, 13, Junior, 11, Princess, eight, Jett, two, and Bunny, 22 months – is verging on obsessive and they fear her quest for physical perfection will never stop. A source says: “Katie has just had a reduction from a 32E to a 32C – the op she…

CHARLOTTE: ‘ Everybody makes mistakes – it’s a pity’ CHARLOTTE CROSBY, 26, WHO INFAMOUSLY HAD SEX ON GEORDIE SHORE , SAYS: “I hate that girls get mauled in the media for sleeping with a bloke while the man gets away with it – it happened to me. But Zara knew she had a reputation to keep and shouldn’t have gone on a show like Love Island in the first place. My dad had an important job, so he never came on Geordie Shore because he didn’t want to put his job and reputation at risk. Everybody makes mistakes, but it’s a pity that Zara’s happened on national TV. Being Miss Great Britain was such a massive part of Zara’s life and it’s horrid that it’s been taken…

The 25-year-old This Morning presenter returned from a Barcelona mini-break with pals last week, but behind the holiday fun, Ferne is masking the agony of living with a shock cancer scare. She reveals to Closer the moment she was confronted with her heart-stopping health warning. “I’ve had two moles removed on my face – one on the bridge of my nose and one in my nostril crease. What is scary is that the mole on the bridge came back so I had it lasered again but it returned more prominently.” It was then that a terrified Ferne realised she needed a second opinion fast and she was advised to have a biopsy. She says: “I’m having it completely cut out and checked that it’s not cancerous. It’s terrifying. I can’t…

Mrs Justice Hogg faced criticism over her handling of the trial and a serious case review found her decision to send Ellie back to her parents’ care in 2012 hindered authorities from intervening and potentially saving Ellie’s life. Last week, she refused to apologise, saying: “It’s not personal.” Chris Fairhurst, solicitor and family law specialist at Stephensons, says: “This was a complex case and it’s always difficult for the Family Court to balance what parents believe are their “rights” alongside the welfare of a child, which is the Court’s main concern. Ultimately the safety of the child will always come first but courts will try to ensure that children are returned to parents if safe to do so. “While we cannot be sure, Mrs Justice Hogg is likely to have…

RICKY GERVAIS: “Does this mean David Brent can’t enter the Eurovision Song Contest?” CAROL MCGIFFIN: “Dear young people, I was 16 when old people decided my future in 1975. At least we made the right decision for you this time.” JAMES CORDEN: “I can’t get my head around what’s happening in Britain. I’m so sorry to the youth of Britain. I fear you’ve been let down today.” JACQUELINE JOSSA: “I fear for the future now, but who knows really?” KERRY KATONA: “Very scary England to wake up to.” MATT LUCAS: “Recession coming. Wrap up warm.” ZOE BALL: “Woke up to sunshine then turned on the news…” KATIE HOPKINS: “Today, a new dawn and a brilliant Great Britain. Congrats to everyone on the RIGHT side of history.” AMY CHILDS: “Think…

Last week, three 12-year-old girls, including Lacy Hall (left), were hospitalised after taking a type of ecstasy described as “teddy bear tablets.” And in a separate incident last month, a 17-year-old girl died after taking a type of the drug known as “mastercard.” Alarmingly, ecstasy use is on the rise. Recent statistics from the 2016 European Drug Report show that 2.1m people in Europe aged 15-34 used ecstasy in the last year; 300,000 more than in 2015. Here, Ray Lakeman – who lost his sons Jacques, 20, and Torin, 19, to the Class A drug in 2014 – tells Closer that he believes legalising ecstasy could prevent more tragedies……

A LOT... On my first house! It’s just been confirmed, and I’m so excited. It’s been stressful but I finally feel like a proper grown-up. £14 For a pair of Kaiman swimming googles, as I’m training for the Great Swim series. £700 On a pair of Sophia Webster heels. I’ve always wanted a pair of her shoes. They were so quirky I fell in love with them and couldn’t resist. £15 For a NARS lipliner. I was at the airport, so while I was there I stocked up on loads of nice make-up. £12 On fake tan, you always feel sexier with a glow and sunbeds are so bad for you!…

With their outrageous champagne-swigging antics, drug-fuelled benders and bitchy put-downs, Absolutely Fabulous’ Eddie and Patsy have been the nation’s favourite shameless fashionistas since the hilarious show first hit our screens a whopping 24 years ago. But in a world away from their st and-offish rock ’n’ roll personas, when Closer catches up with Jennifer Saunders (Edina Monsoon) and Joanna Lumley (Patsy Stone) at London’s Soho Hotel for the launch of Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie, the fashionable glares have been swapped for friendly smiles. “Would you like a cup of tea?” asks Joanna, 70, as we settle down for our interview, while 57-year-old Jennifer shows off her pet whippet, Olive, on the sofa. She giggles with a wink: “We’ve had an absolute blast making the film but, luckily, we’re nothing like…

More than one in 10 people are likely to have a “disabling anxiety disorder” at some stage in their life. If you’re not coping, talk to your doctor. You can ask for a phone consultation or an appointment at a quieter time, too, but don’t ignore it – we can help. WHAT’S “NORMAL?” Anxiety isn’t being worried about an interview or medical test, it’s feeling anxious a lot of the time about many things. It disproportionately hits women under 35, perhaps because with work, relationships, young families, or trying to start a family, there’s lots to worry about, and it can be overwhelming. Like depression, anxiety can be caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, and you’re more likely to suffer if close family are also affected. PHYSICAL…

LATEST HOME VIEWING Strangerland When their children mysteriously disappear in the Australian desert, Catherine (Nicole Kidman) and Matthew (Joseph Fiennes) are devastated.

She wowed fans with her dramatic body transformation last year – but has admitted to regaining some of the weight in the wake of her painful split from ex Jake McLean. Now sources close to Lauren Goodger say she’s planning a fresh start in the US in a bid to give her career a reboot, finally conquer her body demons and hopefully find love again. RELOCATION PLANS The former TOWIE star, 29, who lost an incredible 4st last year, has told pals that she’s looking to move to LA this summer. A source says: “Lauren hasn’t been happy in Essex for a while. She feels she might be able to get more lucrative work in the States, as she’s already done the DVD back in the UK and doesn’t have…

• The Kardashian sisters accuse ‘competitive’ Caitlyn Jenner of stealing their work deals • Kim, Kourtney and Khloe cut off Caitlyn following a tense showdown • Kris Jenner stepping in as rows escalate It’s hard to believe it’s just over a year since Caitlyn Jenner’s dramatic reveal on the cover of Vanity Fair. That image and her heartfelt interview catapulted Caitlyn into the most famous transgender icon in the world. RAPID RISE TO FAME The 66-year-old ex-athlete and reality star – formerly known as Bruce – was applauded for her bravery, and shortly after coming out she won the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the prestigious ESPYs (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award). What followed was an intense year of dramatic highs: Caitlyn launched her own reality TV series, I…

They proudly flaunted their incredible post-baby bodies in bikinis on a family trip to Ibiza last week, and sisters Sam and Billie Faiers are thrilled with the results of their recent shape-ups. Pals close to the size 8 TOWIE stars say they’ve been motivating each other since Sam, 25 – who went up to a size 10-12 during her pregnancy – gave birth to her son Paul with boyfriend Paul Knightley in December, with a joint workout and diet plan. Billie, 26, who’s engaged to businessman Greg Shepherd, shed a stone after giving birth to daughter Nelly, now 22 months, in July 2014. She went back down to a size 8 thanks to a sensible diet and lots of walking. A source says: “Sam and Billie formed their own ‘diet…

They famously reached a truce last December after a bitter battle that raged on for six years, and as further proof they are friends once again, last week Jordan shared a picture on Instagram of her posing next to a Peter Andre waxwork. She captioned the photo “Reunited” as she posed with their children Junior and Princess. But pals say it hit a nerve with Pete’s wife Emily MacDonagh – who is pregnant with their second child. A pal says: “Katie’s desperate to show people she and Pete are closer now and thought it was a way of reflecting that – especially as Pete isn’t keen to be pictured with her yet. But Emily can’t help but feel Katie isn’t respecting their relationship when she constantly reminds people she used…

As Lily Allen appeared to confirm her relationship with musician Daniel London in a Tweet that she later deleted, pals have credited him with helping her through her marriage breakdown. The relationship came out as court papers revealed Lily was in bed with Daniel – known as MC Meridian Dan – in October last year when a stalker broke into her home. The singer Tweeted last week: “I’d hoped I could keep my relationship quiet until I introduced my boyfriend to my children.” Lily, 31, and Sam Cooper – who have daughters Ethel, four, and Marnie, three – were last pictured together 10 months ago, and sparked rumours their marriage was over when their Cotswolds home hit the market in January. A source says: “Daniel’s been Lily’s rock through her…

She was removed from a plane on a stretcher following a mid-air meltdown last week, later admitting it was caused by mixing alcohol with prescription medication. But friends close to actress Selma Blair reveal they’ve been increasingly worried about her over the past year. PUBLIC OUTBURST Legally Blonde star Selma was on a return flight from Mexico to LA after enjoying a family holiday with her ex, fashion designer Jason Bleick, and their four-year-old son Arthur, when she began screaming: “He burns my private parts. He won’t let me eat or drink. He beats me. He’s going to kill me.” Selma later issued an apology, admitting she was “filled with shame” over her outburst. A source says: “Selma’s mortified, but it’s forced her to admit that she needs help. Her…

Last week, evil Ben Butler, 36, was jailed for life for the murder of his daughter, Ellie, six, in October 2013. Ellie’s mum Jennie Gray was also sentenced to three and a half years for child cruelty, while Ellie’s heartbroken maternal grandad Neal Gray, who spent £80k trying to win back custody of her, demanded a public inquiry into the case. Ellie – who had a younger sibling – had previously been taken away from her parents after Butler was jailed for violently shaking her when she was a baby, but she was returned five years later after his conviction was quashed. Tragically, less than a year on Ellie was dead. Here three experts give their views on this shocking case.…

Shockingly, Ellie’s mum Jennie Gray, 36, regularly ignored her injuries, including a broken shoulder just weeks before her death, and even helped Butler conceal the circumstances of her murder. When Butler was remanded in custody in 2014, she continued to visit him 190 times, despite being victim to his violent and controlling nature. This text from Jennie revealed the harrowing extent of her misguided loyalty: “I really do want you more than anything I ever wanted, even more than my children.” Dr Jane Monckton-Smith, a criminology lecturer at the University of Gloucestershire, says: “Gray is not perfect, and could at times be aggressive herself, however she was under complete control of Butler, who she clearly feared – the level of abuse in that house would have been horrific. She’d have…

‘Clothes and food will be more expensive’ YOUR MONEY & YOUR MORTGAGE House prices are likely to go down due to economic uncertainty for at least two years. This will be good news for first-time buyers, though not for those looking to sell their property and cash in. People are also likely to hold off moving during this period of economic instability as they won’t want to make any big financial decisions. This will have an effect on the market. It’s unclear yet whether mortgage and interest rates will go up or down. If they go up, this will be good for savers, but bad for borrowers. YOUR JOB It’s highly likely that jobs will be affected. Some manufacturing industries may want to move their head offices and factories to…

“MY ALARM GOES OFF AT 5.45AM IF I’M PRESENTING MY SHOWBIZ SEGMENT ON THIS MORNING THAT DAY. I’ll hit the snooze button until 6.10am, and then have a really quick shower before I get picked up in a car that takes me from my house in Brentwood to the studios in London. I DO MY MAKE-UP WHEN I’M IN THE CAR TO SAVE SOME TIME. I’ll check my emails and social media, read up on that day’s celebrity gossip, and eat a banana. I can’t resist sending an early morning SnapChat, too. I ARRIVE AT THIS MORNING AND GET MY HAIR BLOW-DRIED, and tuck into scrambled eggs with spinach and Tabasco sauce with a green tea.

THE MOVES She showcased her size 8 figure in a series of stunning outfits on BGT last month and Amanda reveals she exercises for 30 minutes daily. She favours running over the gym and is a fan of Kundalini yoga. She says: “There’s one exercise called the Breath Of Fire, which is great for abs. My body got strong and excess fat disappeared. It’s definitely made my tummy flatter.” THE FOODS Vegetarian Amanda is a sucker for red and rosé wine and the odd bag of crisps. Breakfast is a smoothie with porridge and a cup of coffee, lunch is salad or soup and dinner is a Quorn shepherd’s pie. She says: “I love my food, I don’t believe in half-fat anything. I have full-fat Greek yoghurt, butter and cheese.”…

CASHEW AND GOJI BERRY ENERGY BALLS STEP 1 Blitz the following ingredients in a blender until well-combined: 3tbsp chopped unsalted cashew nuts, 3tbsp roughly chopped goji berries, 2tbsp sunflower seeds, 2tbsp agave nectar and 3tbsp milled flaxseed. STEP 2 Using your hands, form about 12 small balls with the mixture. STEP 3 Cover in a light coating of 1tbsp dessicated coconut.

“I earn £2,000 a month working as a sales executive, but after paying my rent, car insurance and phone bill I fritter the rest away until I have less than £70 a week to live on. My boyfriend Jack, who works as a builder, pays for our broadband and all our bills. “I find it really difficult to control my spending. A classic example is that I wanted to buy a journal, but instead of getting a standard one I spent £50 for one and sacrificed putting petrol in my car to pay for it. “I’ve had to borrow cash from my family in the past to tide me over until payday. But even though I can be very irresponsible with money, I wouldn’t trust myself with a credit card…

These days there’s more information out there about diets and healthy eating than ever before thanks to social media, apps and blogs. It can be difficult to know a good source of information from a bad one and even harder for young teens, who can be very impressionable. Some people posting about eating regimes on social media don’t have any training in nutrition and their advice can cut out entire food groups or be unfeasibly low in calories – both big problems for growing youngsters. With eating disorders at an all-time high among young people it’s crucial we help them understand who to trust, and how to eat sensibly and stay healthy. HELP YOUNGSTERS UNDERSTAND • ACT ON CONCERNS If you notice your children spending hours on diet sites, don’t…

You wear a French maid’s outfit in the opening episode. How did you prepare for that? By going to the gym a lot and slapping cellulite cream on my bum! They were very kind and the outfit was specially made to make sure things weren’t hanging out where they shouldn’t be. I also had on a pair of tights and the stockings went over the top, so you couldn’t see my skin. How do you feel about showing your bits on screen? No one has ever seen my boobs on the telly! I have shot scenes where my boobs have been out and the other actor could potentially have seen them, but they’ve never actually been shown and I don’t think that 40 is the time to start! If you’re…

Angelina Jolie is in this too, as the aptly named “Fox.” AVATAR JAMES CAMERON’S 'TECHNICAL MARVEL' SAT 2 JULY, 8PM, C4 From James Cameron (Mr Titanic ) comes this mammoth hit from 2009 starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver.

...EXCEPT WHEN THEY’RE WORLDS APART…

Closer’s psychologist Emma Kenny says: “Since Lauren first appeared in TOWIE she’s constantly reinvented herself, and has been through big life changes recently with her weight loss and breaking up with Jake. A change of scenery can be hugely beneficial, as you feel like you’re directing your life rather that just going with the flow. But it wouldn’t be a good idea to reconnect with Mark if he goes – some exes can bond over their history and become friends, but their relationship has become so toxic it would be better if they went separate ways.”…

Showing off her amazing body in Ibiza last week, Frankie Essex looked confident as she revealed the results of her weight loss in a plunging blue swimsuit. The former TOWIE star, 28, who’s spoken about her struggles with yo-yo dieting over the years, says she feels sexier than ever and has vowed to never slip up on the scales again. A source says: “Frankie feels so much more confident. It’s taken hard work to get there and she now sticks to a rigid diet and exercise plan to keep herself on track. “She’s even plastered bikini snaps of herself everywhere at home as a constant reminder to stay motivated!” Frankie, who slimmed down from 11 /2st to 10st in a five-week body blitz, spoke of her plans last year to…

She’s dated a string of the world’s most eligible bachelors, but as her relationship with Brit actor Tom Hiddleston hots up, pals say Taylor Swift has undertaken relationship coaching in a bid to finally end her pattern of disastrous romances. Taylor’s secret relations with Tom were unveiled two weeks ago when pictures emerged of the pair on a romantic day out on the beach by her Rhode Island home, just a fortnight after she ended her 15-month relationship with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, 32. A source says: “Taylor is getting advice from New York-based relationship coach Marni Battista, who has a 10-step ‘dating with dignity’ programme. Taylor’s admitted she bows down to the demands of her boyfriends as she’s scared of being dumped and ending up heartbroken, so Marni is…

She was the reigning Miss Great Britain when she entered the villa on ITV’s Love Island last month, and regularly spoke about her title. But Zara Holland, 20, caused shockwaves when she had sex on TV with new housemate Alex Bowen – a former flame of Vicky Pattison – within 24 hours of meeting him for the first time. After expressing huge regret on camera, Zara faced a major public backlash and was subsequently stripped of her title by pageant bosses, who said they were unable to “promote Zara as a positive role model.” HUGE MISTAKE Speaking last week, Zara – who was forced to quit the show just days after the scandal broke when her mother fell ill – branded the one-night stand “the biggest mistake of my…

After twisted Butler was cleared on appeal in 2010 for violently shaking his daughter at seven weeks old, he brazenly went on TV to say he was a “victim of a miscarriage of justice,” despite going on to carry out attacks on Ellie. And when he was jailed for her murder last week, he mumbled angrily “big mistake.” Elizabeth Yardley, Associate Professor of Criminology at Birmingham City University, says Butler’s behaviour is typical of someone with psychopathic traits. She says: “We all want to assume no parent would be capable of carrying out such horrific crimes against a child. But in Butler’s case we’re dealing with someone extremely narcissistic who only cares about himself and the image he’s portraying. He wanted to appear the perfect family man, which explains his…

“When the nation woke up to the Brexit win, it seemed that most people flew into a blind panic, with a barrage of hateful social media messages. Calm down, people. It’s not as if we are leaving the EU immediately – experts are saying it will take at least two years to negotiate. We just love the drama. “The main worry was about sterling dropping in value, but currencies chop and change all the time and I really believe that in a year’s time, we will be stronger than ever. I’m glad someone will finally be taking control on the immigration problem. European law was another minus – we need to get back to our own laws. “In the UK, we are leaders in fashion, film and the arts. We…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Louise Redknapp vs Cheryl The bomber jacket is the most covetable cover-up right now, and this animal-print number by Chloé is proving a hit with celebs. Singer Louise teamed hers with navy trousers and a cami, while Cheryl went for a black dress, over-the-knee boots and kooky specs. VERDICT Both ladies succeed in letting the statement jacket take centre stage – it’s a tie! STYLE CRUSH! GOLDEN GIRL Hailey Baldwin, 19 Catwalk queen Hailey puts on a very leggy display in this knockout gold mini by Kayat. The star positively glows with confidence in the figure-hugging number, which she teams with smokey-brown eye makeup and a tousled updo. This is a winning red-carpet look for Hailey – we’re dazzled.

She’s renowned for her incredible body and is often pictured looking toned and confident while holidaying in skimpy bikinis. But singer Mel B is refreshingly honest about the hard work she puts in to staying in shape, and says she relies on daily workouts to maintain her figure, especially as she gets older. LA LIFESTYLE Mel – who turned 41 at the end of last month – says: “I’m a big fan of Barry’s Bootcamp, Zumba and yoga. I have to work out most days to stay in shape; I’m not one of those people who can eat whatever they like. I have to really work at it, especially as I get older. “Generally, I try to do at least 30 minutes of cardio a day mixed with weights. I’m…

Where do you shop? Tesco and Morrisons as they’re both on my doorstep. I spend £60 a week on food for my husband Pete and I. What’s your typical daily diet? For breakfast I either have Weetabix or porridge, two crumpets with strawberry jam or – if I’m feeling naughty – sausage, egg, bacon and tomatoes. Lunch is a ham and tomato sandwich and I plan my evening meal the day before, because I’ve got to get it out of the freezer. I snack on biscuits dunked in tea. We’re not health freaks. We love apple pies and a big fat bar of Cadbury. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I’m lactose-intolerant, so while I eat some cheeses I try to avoid cream. What’s the strangest thing you’ve eaten?…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… My parents didn’t give me any, but if I did jobs on the farm I’d get a bit of cash and I’d buy magazines. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Working in a takeaway on a campsite for £3.60 an hour. I stank of chips! I SPENT MY FIRST PROPER PAY CHEQUE ON… A designer handbag from Selfridges. It was an unnecessary extravagance but I felt I’d earned it. MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS… An Audi TT sports car – when I saw it I just went for it!
