We’ve spoken to celebrities who have all worked hard to achieve real body confidence.

Newly single Davina McCall hit the headlines last week when she controversially revealed she often messages Hollywood star and wrestler The Rock – real name Dwayne Johnson – on Twitter in the hope he’ll notice her, despite him having a pregnant girlfriend. Speaking on a podcast, the 50-year-old presenter said, “I think Dwayne Johnson is hardworking, gives more than is expected, funny... I want to meet him. I’m literally sending him messages all the time, I’m thinking ‘persist, persist!’” She added, “He’s so big, I’d have to climb up his thigh.” Fans then slammed Davina online and branded her a “homewrecker”. One wrote, “Desperate and not nice when he has a partner,” while another wrote, “You homewrecking old hag”. BACKLASH Pals say Davina is feeling especially fragile after recently announcing…

Therapist Jason Hanson, who treats clients with eating disorders, says, “There are many clinical reasons behind overeating. For example, some people turn to food for comfort and as a coping strategy, and for others it’s a form of self-harm. But unless you treat the underlying causes, then surgery is like sticking a plaster over a bullet wound. You are treating the effect and not the cause, and the deep-seated issue that’s causing the overeating will still be there. Plus, the surgery might not even be effective. I would suggest having therapy alongside surgery so you are treating it holistically.” • For more help, visit: Beateatingdisorders.org.uk…

She’s already mum to two daughters with footballer husband Peter Crouch – and last week Abbey Clancy revealed she had given birth to their first son. The supermodel, who turns 32 this week, revealed she had welcomed her baby Johnny into the world last Wednesday, posting on Instagram, “Baby Johnny Crouch born 3/1/18 so in love with our baby boy happy healthy and beautiful.” Abbey and Peter, 36 – who also have daughters Sophia, six, and Liberty, two – had previously hinted they hoped to add a son to their brood. Abbey – who married Peter at Stapleford Park Hotel in Leicestershire in 2011 – said, “Sometimes, when he’s [Peter] being given green eye shadow and having his nails painted pink… That’s when I think he feels it would be…

 To my beautiful family, ‘IF ASSISTED DEATH WERE AVAILABLE, I’D BE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE ON LIVING IN THE MOMENT’ “Leaving your children and husband behind is something no one should have to think about – but it’s the awful situation I’m faced with because, thanks to cancer, I only have a five per cent chance of surviving the next five years. When I die I want it to be on my terms, before I’m in unnecessary pain and while I’m still the mum and wife you recognise. You’ve all been so brave supporting me in my fight for my right to die and I’m forever grateful. None of us will forget that moment four years ago when a doctor told me the lump I’d found in my right breast was…

‘AZIZA IS A BLESSING – WE FEEL SO LUCKY WE WENT ON THE SHOW’ When Ibiba Mudada looks at her gorgeous nine-month-old baby girl, Aziza, she still feels like pinching herself in disbelief. The 29-year-old care worker from Bristol met painter and decorator Aarron Stewart, 34, on C4’s hit dating show First Dates in June 2016 – and within seven weeks, she’d discovered she was pregnant. It was a shock for the couple, but they decided to give their relationship a go and their daughter was born last April. Now the pair are planning to get married. WELCOME SURPRISE Ibiba says, “Falling pregnant wasn’t planned and it took us both by surprise, as I found out just seven weeks after we met. But Aziza is a blessing, and we feel…

SAM GOWLAND, 21 The former oil rigger and Love Island star says, “Geordie Shore is more my scene than Love Island. I now have my dream job. I go out five nights a week anyway – now I just do it on camera! People seemed to like me on TV but now I’m a bit more myself because I’ve got a drink down me! “It’s early days with Chloe and me, but it’s going great. It works so well because we are basically the same person – neither of us are all there, so it just clicks with us.” STEPH SNOWDON, 24 One-time Ibiza party rep Stephanie auditioned for Big Brother in 2016, but is delighted with her new role in the Geordie Shore house. She says, “When I first…

WHEELY IN LOVE Following relationships with a plane and a train, Linda Duncharme fell for a Ferris wheel named Bruce. In November 2013, Linda exchanged vows with the theme park ride in Florida. She says 40ft Bruce leaves her “breathless” and she hopes to “grow old with him.” PARISIEN PASSION In 2008, Erika La Tour Eiffel had a commitment ceremony with The Eiffel Tower. Erika, who has also been in a relationship with a fence, pledged to love, honour and obey her Tower totty in a ceremony attended by friends.

MONTANA How much do you spend per week? Around £100 – which sounds lavish as it’s just for me! I shop at either Waitrose or Marks & Spencer. Describe your daily diet... Breakfast is porridge with berries and a banana, plus a fruit smoothie. I’m conscious about having my five-a-day, so I like to make sure I’ve had the majority of it in the morning. I try to eat most of my carbs at lunchtime, so I’ll have wholegrain tuna pasta with red onions. For dinner, I like to have fish and veg – I’ve become a bit obsessed with spreading miso paste on tuna steaks. I’ll snack on bananas but, if I’m craving something sweet, I’ll make an Oreo milkshake. What’s the strangest thing you eat? I love apples…

RELATIONSHIPS HOW TO HANDLE BEING ‘STASHED’ Emma explains this horrible new dating trend – and how best to respond if you fall victim to it Sadly, we’ve all heard of the dating term “ghosting” – simply disappearing without giving any explanation. Then came the awful “pigging” – where men set up dates with women they consider to be unattractive, then don’t turn up. Now there’s “stashing”, which basically means you date as usual, see each other all the time, sleep together and go on fun dates – but while you’ve introduced your partner to friends and family, they are keeping you separate from everyone in their life. There are no introductions to visit their parents, no invites to special occasions, and they never tag you on social media, even though…

‘SEEING UNFLATTERING PICTURES OF HERSELF WAS REALLY GETTING HER DOWN’ She was seen out last month sporting mysterious bruising on her neck, just days after she Tweeted that she was at a cosmetic surgery clinic in Turkey and was “very excited” to reveal to her fans what she’d had done. And pals say that yo-yo dieter Lauren Goodger has undergone “body contouring” surgery, which involves removing fat to alter the body shape, top to toe. Insiders close to the TOWIE star – who recently Tweeted that her entire body was swollen and that she’d been sober all Christmas as she was “recovering” – say she’s patiently waiting for the swelling to subside, but is already feeling better about herself. A source says, “Lauren has always been confident whatever her…

JORDAN & PETER ANDRE Jordan – aka Katie Price – and Peter’s romance began in the I’m A Celeb! jungle in 2004. They married at Highclere Castle in September 2005, but their rows were soon documented on their many reality shows. Their last few days as a couple were captured on Katie And Peter: Stateside and they divorced in October 2009. JESSICA SIMPSON & NICK LACHEY Jessica and singer Nick became pop royalty when they met in 1998. They wed in 2002, a year before they allowed MTV to film their every move for the hugely successful Newlyweds: Nick And Jessica. Sadly, the couple announced their divorce just months after the last episode aired in 2005, following three seasons and 41 episodes. KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN & LAMAR ODOM Khloé and NBA…

It’s been a tough start to the year for Jordan. During an appearance on Loose Women last week, the star looked alarmingly thin as she revealed she’d sought professional help to cope with her mum Amy’s battle with a terminal lung condition. The admission comes after mum-of-five Jordan – real name Katie Price – opened up last month about taking antidepressants since finding out about her mother’s condition. Jordan, 39, revealed last week that she had reached breaking point and realised she needed help after watching back an appearance she made on Loose Women in December, which saw her escorted off the panel in tears while discussing her mum’s battle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. GETTING HELP She explained, “For ages, lots of things were building up and my mum’s thing…

 They both had a difficult start to 2018, with their two-year-old son Saint being hospitalised with pneumonia. ‘SHE FEELS AS IF KANYE’S PULLING AWAY FROM HER’ The frightening incident followed an awkward New Year’s Eve kiss between Kim Kardashian and her husband Kanye West, which received a backlash for being “staged” after the reality star posted it on social media. And pals say after spending the past year recovering from her Paris robbery and Kanye’s breakdown at the end of 2016, the mum-of-two, 37 – whose third child is due via a surrogate any day now – is worried there’s more heartache around the corner. A source says, “Kim was just starting to relax and feel happy again, but after Saint was rushed into hospital she’s now worked herself up…

LOUISE: ‘ I’m ready for a fresh start’ While her ex-husband Jamie jetted off to the Bahamas with their sons, Charley, 13, and Beau, nine, last week, Louise Redknapp told friends she’s ready to enjoy life again. The former couple, who tied the knot in 1998, were granted a divorce last month in a court hearing that lasted just 25 seconds. They’re expected to reach amicable terms regarding custody of their children. And now it looks as though Louise, 43, is ready to start moving on. She was recently linked to ex-Strictly partner Kevin Clifton, 35, after they were snapped on a night out together with pals and also attended the same wedding last month. According to insiders, Louise grew close to Kevin, 35, when they competed together on the…

When I was asked to take part in the show in September 2012 after being trolled for writing an article about being beautiful, I was speechless – but I jumped at the chance to prove I was actually all right. I was in the house with Julie Goodyear and Coleen Nolan, who couldn’t stand each other, but it was the younger housemates – glamour model Rhian Sugden and Simon Cowell’s ex Jasmine Lennard – who made sparks fly. Whenever one of them had a drink, they’d start slagging each other off over past conquests. I adored Julie and Jasmine – who I’m still in touch with – but all of the other housemates were two-faced. Julian Clary won the series, which was a shock as he was quite dull –…

“USUALLY, I’D BE UP BEFORE 6AM, but now that I’m pregnant, I’m knackered all the time! So I get up at around 7am, make the girls’ breakfasts and do the school run. I got a juicer for Christmas, so I’ll make myself a breakfast smoothie with celery, apple, kale and oranges and have a bowl of porridge too I’VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF MORNING SICKNESS, so the mornings can be tough. I’m trying to keep up my workout routine, though, so I’ll go to the gym every day. Exercising during my pregnancy makes me feel good, but I’ll tone it down when I get close to my due date in June. I’LL MAKE A SANDWICH OR EGGS WITH SMOKED SALMON FOR LUNCH at home, then get some work done…

‘Exercise puts me in an amazing frame of mind’ She wowed us all with her amazing body transformation in 2013, shedding 3st and dropping from a size 16 to a 6. Now super-fit and a slim size 10, reality star Vicky Pattison says she’s finally comfortable with her body thanks to finding happiness with her businessman fiancé John Noble. “He’s the first person who’s made me feel truly confident about the way I look, which is a massive thing considering I’m 30 and I’ve had my fair share of boyfriends,” she laughs. “Until now, I’ve never really felt loved or attractive, but John makes me feel those things and, consequently, I want to look my best for him.” TRAINING HARD Vicky and John, who first dated 10 years ago, rekindled…

‘I hadn’t realised how strong I could be’ To say that last year was a roller coaster for Ferne McCann would be putting it mildly. After going public with boyfriend Arthur Collins, she declared he was The One and fell pregnant – but her dream turned to a nightmare when he was sentenced to 20 years in jail for a horrific nightclub acid attack that left 16 people injured. Ferne, 27, is refreshingly open about how the ordeal has impacted her life and it’s clear from her positive outlook that being a mum has changed everything. The This Morning presenter says, “I hadn’t realised how strong I could be. I have a much more positive outlook on life now. I used to get stressed about the smallest things, but now…

‘YOU CAN EAT SOME OUT-OF-DATE FOOD!’ East Of England Co-op is now selling tinned and dried food after its best before date for 10p. Dr Christian approves The UK throws away 7.3 million tonnes of food every year, so I support the Co-op’s “Don’t be a Binner, have it for dinner” campaign, which is aiming to reduce food waste. It’s not at all dangerous to eat dried foods like pasta, crisps and rice, or tinned foods like soup and beans, after their “best before” dates. It’s “use by” dates that you really need to watch. BEST BEFORE VS USE BY The “best before” is about how long the food will taste its best for, not how safe it is. The “use by” date is on labels for fresh foods like…

This show is so different from your breakfast show, Lorraine ! It was a completely different experience in so many ways. It was pre-recorded for a start, and that was fascinating. I had someone to work with in Rob [Beckett] – and he was a delight. I’ve never done a great big, shiny floor show for the Beeb before, it was very grown-up! It’s been such a lovely opportunity and it’s been great having people to trust us with their big day, too. Did you find it hard not to cry at the weddings? I cried all the time! Rob was there with a hanky and he shed a manly tear more than once. He is such a nice guy and we’ve become really good mates. We…

‘One, two, three… and she’s out!’ Fearne’s daughter, Honey, has all the makings of a WWE star. Charl checks her flip-flop after smelling dog muck, but only after walking all over her pal’s new carpet. No one bothers Pro Green when he’s tending to his house plants – unless they want a seriously big prick. We’ll say one thing for Kerry’s style, she certainly likes to keep abreast of the latest trends. Becks takes the kids on a Bear Grylls-style holiday. Look, they even share worms for dinner. LAUREN GOODGER We’re not sure if anything can help you, tbh, but we’re going to spend the rest of the week trying to invent eyebrow wigs. ZAYN MALIK...

She’s made no secret of her weight struggles over the years but, last week, Kerry Katona seemed in better shape than ever when she proudly posted a pic of her toned physique, captioned: “Woohoo I’ve lost over two stone, feeling on top of the world!” And Kerry, 37, attributes her substantial weight loss to her new BFF, Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Ampika Pickston, and her slimming brand Skinny Revolution. Sources say the mum-of-five has been following the £250-a-month plan, which involves special injections, since November – around the time she moved in to Ampika’s mansion in Cheshire while she appeared in panto in Manchester – and is thrilled with the results. FRIENDS’ FEARS The plan involves daily injections of a protein-based hormone into the stomach for two to three…

‘I HAVE SAGGY SKIN ON MY STOMACH, SO I STILL CAN’T WEAR THE CLOTHES I’D LIKE TO’ On the face of it, Emily Herbert has the perfect life. She’s got a job she loves as a chef in a top restaurant, an adoring boyfriend, a size 8 figure and a dazzling smile. But scratch beneath the surface and it’s a very different picture. Emily vomits day and night and can barely eat solid food. Underneath her clothes, she’s a mass of saggy skin, and her bright smile is down to dentures, because her real teeth have been rotted by vomit. It’s the legacy she’s endured ever since she had a gastric band fitted 13 years ago. Although it’s helped her lose 14st, she bitterly regrets it. Emily, 34, explains, “I…

She was hoping to make her big comeback this year with new music and a possible return to The X Factor. But pals say Cheryl’s dream of returning to the spotlight has been tainted after Sinitta, 54, and Louis Walsh, 65, added fuel to their ongoing feuds with the singer, 34, who’s mum to Bear, 10 months. After previously warning the former Girls Aloud star to “stay in her lane” when Simon Cowell chose Cheryl over her to join him at the Judges’ Houses stage on last year’s series, former singer Sinitta made yet another dig at Cheryl as she spoke about the show’s declining ratings. She said in an interview last week, “Even Cheryl’s week didn’t stop it losing one million viewers.” CONSTANT TARGET Meanwhile, Louis – who used…

Khloé Kardashian finally put an end to pregnancy rumours over Christmas when she confirmed she was expecting her first child with boyfriend Tristan Thompson – posting a sweet bump snap on her Instagram page, which received almost 9m “likes”. But pals say the big reveal was bittersweet for older sister Kim, who had previously been told by doctors she wouldn’t be able to carry another child, following unsuccessful surgery to repair her uterus. A source says, “It was hard for Kim to see all the headlines about Khloé’s pregnancy when she’d been told she wasn’t able to carry her third child. “Of course Kim’s delighted for her sister, but the timing of the announcement was a bit of an issue, given that Kim’s baby is due by surrogate any day…

She first burst on to our screens as Coronation Street’s bubbly barmaid Raquel back in 1991 but, since leaving the soap, Sarah Lancashire has gone on to play gritty roles in some of the nation’s favourite shows. From lesbian teacher Caroline in The Last Tango In Halifax – which prompted a spike in middle-aged women coming out – to her impassioned turn as sergeant Catherine Cawood in Happy Valley, Sarah’s not afraid to take on hard-hitting parts. And this week she’s starring in another emotive drama, Kiri. Sarah plays Miriam, a no-nonsense social worker who is blamed for the disappearance of a nine-year-old girl, after she allows the child to have an unsupervised visit with her biological grandparents. PASSION It’s an intense role, but one that the actress, 53, is…

WILL: ‘ I want Cheryl on the show!’ Long-time friends Will.i.am and Cheryl have worked together in the past. After collaborating on hit Heartbreaker in 2008, Cheryl invited Will on to The X Factor as a guest judge in 2010 and the Black Eyed Peas star became her manager the following year. Now, as he makes his return to The Voice panel, Will, 42, reveals he’d love his pal to join him as a mentor, telling Closer, “That would be a really dope show!” And Will says he’s always swapping tips with pal and X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger. He reveals, “Nicole and I often talk about the fact that we’re both on singing competitions. She said to me, ‘Babe, should I do X Factor again this year?’ She will…

DRESS DOWN A TWO-PIECE FOR DAYTIME Q I spent a lot of money on a fancy tailored suit to wear over the party season – how can I rework it for daytime to get the most out of it? A Give a sophisticated two-piece a new lease of life by pairing it with a slogan tee and casual-meets-cool trainers, à la Daisy Lowe, for a fresh look.

SCENT-SATIONAL This floral scent smells just like Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle, which costs £89 for a 100ml bottle. So you can easily fool your friends into thinking you’re wearing the designer version, while keeping your bank account happy. PUCKER UP For a colour that truly won’t budge, try a lip stain. This MUA one will add a bright pop of colour, and won’t need to be reapplied throughout the day. Be careful when you apply it, though – it’s called a stain for a reason! We suggest using a lip brush for precise application. HAVE A FLUTTER You don’t have to spend a lot of money on mascara – there are some brilliant ones on the high street for under a fiver. We especially love this Barry M one,…

One in three slimmers has tried them, but since April 2013, the Medicines And Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency has seized nearly £4million worth of dodgy diet pills. Many of them contain toxic ingredients and they’re often stored in rat-infested warehouses and sheds, so it’s no wonder 63 per cent of people who took them suffered nasty side effects like diarrhoea, bleeding, blurred vision and heart problems. They could even lead to organ failure, so avoid “magic” sounding weight loss pills, and check online medicines are safe at www.gov.uk/fakemeds.…
