It used to be the case that turning 40 was a cue to shut yourself away and start knitting cats. Now it seems to be the age when women are just getting going! While some go a bit crazy (Jordan’s toyboy fling, for example!), for others it’s the start of a healthy new way of life. On page 38, we speak to Timea Bradley – who took up bodybuilding after turning 40 and now says she looks and feels better than she did when she was in her 20s – and on page 22, we look at the secrets of celebs who’ve kept their enviable beach bodies right up until their 60s.

‘PALS FEEL LIKE SHE’S STARTING TO DROWN UNDER THE STRESS OF IT ALL’ She’s barely taken a second to recover following the collapse of her third marriage to Kieran Hayler last month, sparking concern among friends and family after diving headlong into a new romance with toyboy Kris Boyson and enjoying a string of wild nights out together. And as her life appears to be spiralling out of control, Jordan’s rep confirmed last week that her children Junior, 12, and Princess, ten, were now living with their father Peter Andre – amid rumours he had grown concerned for them due to her “out of control” behaviour. The rep stated, “What is important [is] that the focus is on what is best for the children during tough times as Peter has…

‘SHE’LL GO ALL-OUT TO PROVE SHE AND DAVID ARE STRONGER THAN EVER’ They ensured they put on a united display at the Kent & Curwen fashion show last week, just two days after being forced to deny yet another spate of divorce rumours – despite arriving separately and not being seated next to each other. And as Victoria Beckham, 44, gushed about her husband, David, 43, in a string of social media posts following the event, pals say the mum-of-four is more determined than ever to show the world that her marriage is solid. A source says, “Vic was really thrown by the latest drama and it pushed her into crisis mode, with her insisting she’ll go all-out to prove she and David are stronger than ever. DAMAGE CONTROL “After…

They were seen out together in Cleveland last week celebrating a friend’s birthday, following mixed reports over the state of their relationship. But pals say despite putting on a united front at the bash, Khloé Kardashian, 33, is still torn over whether to give her cheating boyfriend Tristan Thompson, 27, another chance. A source says, “Tristan’s doing everything to get back into Khloé’s good books, but she’s still unsure if she can ever trust him again. She’s saying he’ll have one last chance.” Closer recently revealed how the reality star asked her “momager” Kris Jenner, 62, to help her devise a post-split plan as she prepared to leave the basketball player after it was revealed he’d cheated on her with a string of women days before she gave birth to…

They split in 2016, but Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt hit the headlines again last week over claims that a US judge warned the actress she was in danger of losing primary custody of their six children if she didn’t start encouraging them to forge relationships with their actor father. Leaked court documents claimed that the judge had told Angelina, 43, that not being close to Brad, 54, was “harmful” for their children, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Knox and Vivienne, nine. However, their son Maddox, 16, can reportedly decide for himself if he wishes to see Brad and is under no obligation to spend time with the actor. This comes after claims that Brad had lunged at Maddox in 2016 during a private flight after the…

They’ve been BFFs since starring together on iconic TV show Friends between 1994 and 2004 – and now insiders say Courteney Cox will be making pal Jennifer Aniston her maid of honour at her upcoming wedding. Courteney, 54, is reportedly due to marry Snow Patrol guitarist Johnny McDaid this month, and is said to have chosen her actress pal, 49, as her head bridesmaid. Previously, Courteney was maid of honour at Jennifer’s wedding to now ex-husband Justin Theroux in 2015, who she split from in February. And pals say Courteney’s given Jen a list of wedding planning tasks as she knows she loves organising a party. A source reveals, “Jen’s been through a horrible year, and Court knows how much she loves party planning, so she’s enlisted Jen to not…

‘ You need permission to leave the villa’ Scott says, “You barely leave the villa for the whole time you’re in there. It’s not like you can just go for a run or for a walk to clear your head – you’re stuck in there until you go on a date or you all head out for the day. Every two weeks, we had a beach day, where the producers would take the girls and the boys separately to spend a day on the beach to relax away from the cameras and switch off. When you’ve been in one house for such a long time, I think it’s healthy to get out so you don’t get cabin fever! Other than that, you’re under villa arrest.” ‘ Everyone has meltdowns –…

They’re known for being one of Hollywood’s most controversial families but, last week, Girls Trip actress Jada Pinkett Smith left fans stunned after confessing in front of her 17-year-old daughter Willow and mum Adrienne Banfield-Jones that her grandmother had taught her about masturbation at the age of nine, and that she’d had an obsession with orgasms. ADDICTION The 46 year old – who’s been married to Hollywood star Will Smith for 20 years – made the candid confession on her Facebook show Red Table Talk, and admitted she’d even become addicted to masturbation. She said, “My grandmother taught me about self-pleasuring because she wanted me to know that that pleasure was from me. She didn’t want me to fall into the hands of a man, and if he gave me…

WOMEN IN BUSINESS... “I read a stat that 76 per cent of women have a great business idea, but lack the confidence to start it. I think inspirational business women need to be more open about the struggles they face.” ADJUSTING TO FAME... “Being in the public eye can make you feel insecure and paranoid. Fame is not what you’d expect. It’s fun, but you have to stay grounded.” LOVE ISLAND ... “It’s a great platform, so instant fame, but a career in media needs longevity and a plan. I’ve met some past contestants who were living in cuckoo land with how they see their fame and career.”…

STAYING IN SHAPE “I work out five days a week – I can’t imagine not doing it. I’d like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I’ve learned over the years that I’m so disappointed when I can’t wear the clothes I want to wear.” PREPARING TO PERFORM “I’ve always done my own make-up before shows. I have a song called War Paint and I feel that with putting on my make-up and getting ready, there is a kind of meditation in the preparation. Make-up is art, and it’s like getting into character when I put it on.” THE POWER OF PRAYER “I don’t meditate – I pray. We do a group prayer circle. When I think about how ordinary I’ve always been, and to think that…

Kourtney Kardashian, 39 The star seems to have neglected her usual passion for fashion with this mixed up outfit. The Lycra cycling shorts are bad enough, then she adds those netted sandals! Emma Roberts, 27 It looks like Emma’s about to go on a first aid course with this safety-pin themed frock. The leather beret and satin platforms are more eek than chic.

How much do you spend per week? Usually around £150 [Yazmin lives in Essex with her boyfriend and TOWIE co-star James Lock]. I like to shop around, but I think the produce at Waitrose is better than most places, and I love that they have a fresh sushi counter. Describe your daily diet… I always start the day with a cup of green tea, followed by smoked salmon and scrambled egg on wholemeal toast. Lunch is either a Herbalife milkshake and a protein bar, or a chicken Caesar salad. In the evenings, I love steak with flavoured new potatoes and lots of green vegetables, or I’ll make penne arrabiata with garlic bread. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I don’t like the taste of pork. What’s the strangest thing…

RELATIONSHIPS HOW TO SUPPORT SOMEONE WITH CANCER Macmillan Cancer Support says that telling patients to “fight” the illness puts them under too much pressure – Emma agrees When my best friend was diagnosed with cancer, it blew my world to pieces. I had worked with terminally ill clients before, but when cancer became personal, I had to build a new relationship with someone I had known since I was seven. Previously, I had always felt that attitude was everything and that fighting was required to beat the big C, but from diagnosis to her final breath, I watched my friend Pam wrangle with shock, fear, devastation, anger and acceptance. There was no room for fight. Macmillan warn that telling people to “fight” cancer leaves them feeling guilty for admitting fear.…

‘SHE’S BEEN BADLY BURNED IN THE PAST AND THAT’S ALWAYS HAUNTED HER’ Ever since news broke that her on-off boyfriend Joey Morrison would be released early from his 16-year prison sentence for a string of violent offences, Lauren Goodger has been excitedly preparing for their new lives together. But while he finishes up his nine-year stint behind bars, pals say Lauren, 31, is beginning to worry that other women will be chasing after Joey, also 31 – especially now that she’s helped to turn him into a minor celebrity, thanks to her Instagram posts and mentions in interviews. A pal says, “Lauren has been so excited about Joey’s release. But she’s starting to worry that after spending so much time locked up, he’s not going to want to settle into…

‘SHE’S CONSIDERING PUTTING HERSELF ON DATING APPS’ Insiders recently told Closer how she was relishing single life after spending eight months without a man – focusing instead on her health and happiness. But sources say Kerry Katona, 37, feels she’s now ready to find love again after seeing pictures of her rugby-player ex George Kay – who she split from in June last year – cosying up to his new girlfriend, beauty queen Nicola Moriarty. George, 37, and Nicola, also 37 – who met at a beauty pageant early last month – were spotted kissing as they enjoyed a romantic lunch date. A source says, “Kerry was irritated by the photos of George with Nicola. She can’t help wondering if he knew people would have spotted them and that they’d…

They are famed for their hourglass figures, but Kim Kardashian and sister Kylie Jenner sparked shock among fans when they were spotted in LA last week. SURGERY DENIAL Dressed in skintight leggings and matching tops, the sisters’ curves looked more dramatic than ever, with one fan posting online, “They look like a pair of centaurs [a mythical creature with a human torso and lower body of a horse]!” One said, “Pencil thin legs and huge fake basketballs for a butt... They look like caricatures of women.” And another added, “They look like aliens.” The sisters have remained tight-lipped about surgery, with Kylie, 20, only admitting to lip fillers. On Keeping Up With The Kardashians in 2015, she said, “I have temporary lip fillers and it’s just an insecurity of mine.”…

Christine Lampard recently revealed the terror she’d suffered at the hands of her stalker. The 39-year-old TV presenter was stalked by fan Christoff King for three years. She told a court how she first received threatening messages on Twitter from him in 2015. Despite blocking and reporting his account, two months later, he turned up at her home, where Christine was forced to hide in her bedroom as he knocked on the door. As Closer went to press, King had admitted a charge of stalking. He denied sending the Tweets but a judge ruled that he did. He will be sentenced in July. SHOCKING STATS And just last week, TV personality Lizzie Cundy revealed her terror at the hands of a stalker. Lizzie, 48, explained that she started getting emails…

Gwyneth Paltrow raised eyebrows when she revealed last week that she isn’t really “involved” in planning her upcoming wedding to fiancé Brad Falchuck. The 45-year-old actress – who runs her Goop lifestyle website – admitted she’s got too much on to plan anything, and is relying on a dedicated team of professionals to make the stylistic choices for her big day. She explained, “I’m very busy so I’m actually not that involved in it. I have so much going on and I’m outsourcing that. I’m probably the least bridezilla person – probably to a fault – that has ever come across my wedding planner’s office doors.” When Gwyneth tied the knot with her now ex Chris Martin in 2003, the pair skipped a traditional ceremony and eloped, so the Shallow…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS, “Being a good mum is about being aware of your child’s needs and making them the top priority in your life – this can be done whether you’re 30 or 50. But your age can have an impact on your offspring. Will you have the energy to get up in the night to feed a crying baby? To race around after a toddler? And, of course, your time with them is limited. Does your child have a strong support network, should the worst happen? You need to be sure you could both cope with the psychological impact of knowing you may not live to see your child enter middle age.”…

• Jada and husband Will have long-been accused of being secret Scientologists. Jada was forced to deny she was a part of the controversial church in 2017, after a former member accused her of being involved in Scientology for “a long time”. • The couple have also faced numerous cheating claims. Will was linked to his Focus co-star Margot Robbie in 2015, while Jada was linked to her Hawthorne co-star Marc Anthony in 2011. • She raised eyebrows in 2017 when she addressed rumours on a talk show that she and Will were swingers, insisting, “Yo, I wish! I wish.” She added, “I’ve heard all the things. ‘Their marriage is not real – he’s gay, she’s gay, they swing.’ But at the end of the day, people have to believe…

‘ NEW MUMS ARE BEING FAILED BY DOCTORS’ Half of mums experience mental health problems, and they aren’t being spotted by GPs. Dr C says more should be done A group of politicians are demanding that all mums in England have their emotional and mental health assessed six weeks after giving birth. It should already be happening, but it’s clearly not. MENTION WORRIES The focus is being put on the baby, so mums’ problems are being missed, and that’s not good enough. A fifth of new mums felt they were suffering with mental health issues, but weren’t confident to raise that with their doctor. If you feel exhausted, like you’re not enjoying life, and you’re struggling to bond with your baby, don’t ignore those feelings – tell your GP. Women…

She threw a lavish party for husband Kanye West last week to celebrate his 41st birthday, looking happy and content as the pair partied alongside friends and family. And insiders say Kim Kardashian, 37 – who has North, five, Saint, two, and Chicago, five months, with the rapper – was determined to put to rest any public perception of family tension, after he exposed their secret marital strain in song lyrics. Giving a deeply personal insight into his marriage with his new album, Ye , Kanye rapped about his wife’s reaction to his controversial remarks that slavery is a “choice”, saying she screamed at him down the phone, prompting him to rap, “She could leave me now.” The source says, “Kim has tried to paint a smile on her face…

They’ve only been dating for a few weeks, but Ariana Grande sparked speculation she was already engaged to Pete Davidson after flashing a huge ring while performing in New York last week. The star, 24, has reportedly been dating Pete, also 24, since mid-May, but it wasn’t until two weeks ago that the couple confirmed their romance, when he posted a snap of them in matching Harry Potter outfits. She’d only split from rapper Mac Miller in early May, days before he was arrested for drink-driving. Hitting back at fans who criticised her for the break up, she posted, “I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety and prayed for his balance for years, but shaming/blaming women for man’s inability to keep his sh** together is a…

Posing for photos in fur stoles and heavily trimmed coats, celebrities such as Jordan and Kate Moss have made no secret of their love of fur. However, these images are increasingly on the receiving end of a scathing public backlash – with fans saying they are “appalled” by Jordan’s behaviour, labelling her actions “disgusting”. This growing disgust for the fur trade was echoed last week, during a landmark debate in parliament. MPs spoke out in favour of banning fur imports into the UK – describing the trade as “vile” and the “grimmest of human activities”. And the government is now reconsidering its stance after 426,000 people signed a petition for a ban. However, campaigners say we need to do more to ensure the UK is completely fur free.

He was voted off Love Island alongside partner Hayley Hughes last week – and while Charlie Frederick’s chances of getting lucky in the villa have been scuppered, he tells Closer that he can see islanders Rosie Williams and Adam Collard being the first couple to have sex on the show. He says, “Rosie and Adam would be most likely to have sex in there. They’re the most sexual – they have a real lust for each other and you can see that. They really fancy each other. The sexual connection is very strong.” And Charlie, 23, insists that if he was offered the chance, he’d love to go back into the villa and have another shot at finding love. He tells us, “I’d 100 per cent go back in if…

FRIENDS WARN SHERIDAN SHE’S ‘LIVING IN A FANTASY’ She angrily shot down reports that her whirlwind engagement to fiancé Jamie Horn is on the rocks, insisting that they are “very much together and are looking forward to a long and happy future together”. But insiders say pals of Sheridan Smith, who won critical acclaim in TV biopic Cilla in 2014, are still concerned that she could be in denial about the state of things with Jamie, 28, and that she’s refusing to believe they may have relationship problems. ROWS A source says, “Sheridan has always rowed with boyfriends in the past, and it’s no different with Jamie. She moves at a hundred miles an hour and Jamie finds it hard to keep up. “She creates a very intense atmosphere as…

‘When you see J-Lo up close, it’s like, ‘You are so gorgeous!’’ The world watched them fall in love on the American version of The Voice, and for the past three years pop sensation Gwen Stefani and her country singer beau Blake Shelton have been riding on a romantic high. And Gwen, 48, reveals she couldn’t be happier with Blake, 41, and that he inspires her in everything she does. She says, “[Blake’s] my best friend, so I’m bouncing stuff off him all the time.

• Use the equivalent of a shot glass full of sun cream for the face and body. To be effective, apply 15-20 minutes before going in the sun. Top up every two hours and always reapply after swimming. • Once-a-day sun creams do work and are safe for children, however they are only designed to remain on the skin for up to eight hours, so a top-up may still be required. • Sun cream has a shelf life of about two to three years. The protective formula can break down over time, particularly in direct heat, so don’t reuse after the holiday’s over. • Always check the label, especially when abroad.

IMPROVE YOUR DIET: “I eat healthily – my diet’s packed with protein, brown rice, quinoa and fruit. Red meat is high in fat, so I have chicken, prawns or pulses like lentils instead. I hate the way I feel after I’ve stuffed my body with junk food!” DRINK LOTS OF WATER: “It helps reduce bloating and makes you feel so much better in yourself. It’s great for clear skin, too.” WORK IT: “Any activity is good for burning fat, but you’ll find your stomach muscles get a bit stronger doing crunches and abs-specific exercises. I’ve slimmed down my waist with cardio and side planks. If I can’t make the gym, I’ll do a quick abs workout or a HIIT [high-intensity interval training] session at home.”…

We hear you love the Lake District... It is my favourite place on the planet! I first went there on a geography trip when I was about 10. The weather was horrendous but the natural splendor of the area had a real impact on me and, since then, my family and I have had many happy holidays in The Lakes, camping in our caravan. Was Bear everything you thought he would be? I’ve been a fan of Bear for many years. My kids [daughter, Annabelle, and son, Harrison] are fans, too. I really enjoyed getting to know the man behind the Bear… What made you want to do this? I like to see what I can achieve, and I couldn’t turn down the chance to spend time with a legend…
