After Michael’s beloved Neverland Ranch was put on sale last week, insiders reveal a new war could erupt over how the proceeds will be split. Michael’s infamous home is on the market for £65m. The ranch – which he bought in 1987 – includes two guest houses, a zoo, theme park and a 50-seat cinema. Insiders reveal the sale of the property – which was at the centre of the child molestation allegations of which Michael was eventually acquitted in 2005 – could kick off a new family war. A source says: “The children will inherit 40 per cent of the sale of the estate, with another 40 per cent going to Katherine and 20 per cent going to charity. “But already rows are brewing between Michael’s siblings and nephews,…

She married Mark Wright two weeks ago in a dream wedding in Suffolk, but Michelle Keegan’s Maldives honeymoon turned sour after she was attacked by trolls. Last week Mark, 28, posted an Instagram shot of Michelle in a bikini and, just days later, a fake Facebook page was created in her name. On the page it appeared Michelle was defending her weight, but it was actually a troll who said: “Calling me ‘anorexic’ and ‘too skinny’ is just as bad as someoneibeing called ‘fat’ and ‘obese’…” A source says: “Michelle finds it creepy that someone would pretend to be her and that it’s brought her weight back into the spotlight.” Ahead of her wedding Michelle, who’s 5ft 4 and a size 8, went on a mission to look her best,…

Samia Ghadie announced she was expecting her first child with former Dancing On Ice partner Sylvain Longchambon in March – then, in May, revealed that the pair were engaged. And the 32-year-old Coronation Street star – who has daughter Freya, five, with ex-husband Matthew Smith – reveals the pregnancy hormones are in full swing. She says: “Pregnancy has made me so emotional I cry at the drop of a hat.” Samia was also quick to praise Sylvain’s parenting skills. She says: “He makes me crack up, he’s brilliant. The way he is with Freya melts my heart.”…

Flaunting her toned body last week, Lydia Bright proved she was definitely bikini ready as filming for TOWIE’s Marbella special got underway. Lydia, who’s 25 and a size 10, tells Closer she stepped up her diet and exercise regime in preparation for the TV special – and is thrilled with the results. She says: “It’s a bit scary being on camera in a bikini, but I’m pretty confident about my body. “I prepare for Marbs by eating healthily and working out for a few weeks beforehand. I also always make sure I do a 15-minute ab workout, including the plank, right before I start filming, so my muscles pull forward and show more. It’s a little trick I always do.” And someone who isn’t afraid to show off his beach…

Bruce Jenner caused a sensation last week showcasing the results of a sex change to become Caitlyn, after spending £40k on facial feminisation surgery and 36D breast implants. It’s something Gavin Beales, 50, can identify with. For the past 15 years he’s had over £100k of surgery to perfect his look as alter-ego Leah True. His journey has been far from smooth, but the results have been incredible, as Gavin proves by posing in a corset like Catilyn for Closer’s exclusive photo shoot. Gavin, who designs power tools and lives near Durham, says: “It’s liberating to be in a corset – it’s the ultimate test for dressing as a woman as there’s nowhere to hide! I think Bruce coming out as Caitlyn is incredibly positive and will break down stigma…

After retiring from football in 2013, David Beckham insisted he loved his new role as a stay-at-home dad – giving wife Victoria more time to focus on her fashion empire. However, sources say there is now tension between the couple after David was advised he needs to spend more time in Miami, where he’s launching a soccer team. The plans – which he announced last year – have run into problems recently, and it appears David will have to spend more time away from Posh, 41, and their children. A source reveals: “David has been having a lot of issues getting his new team off the ground and says being in the UK makes it so hard to sort out everything. He’s being advised to base himself more in Miami.…

WHO WORE IT BEST? HANNAH TOINTON VS ELLA EYRE It’s every celeb’s worst nightmare – another star in the same frock, at the very same event! Both ladies went for this cute crocheted Self-Portrait number at the Audi Polo Challenge last week, with Inbetweeners actress Hannah opting for a slightly longer hem and classic nude courts, while singer Ella accessorised with a snakeskin clutch and colour-pop mint talons. VERDICT Both stars look gorgeous, but Hannah’s pared-back approach wins the crown this time. STYLE CRUSH! EMMA’S MELLOW IN YELLOW With Hollywood royalty Julia Roberts as her auntie, she was always going to be a stunner. And actress Emma looked simply divine in this canary yellow maxi dress at a showbiz bash last week, teamed with a boho halo plait and leopard-print…

YOUR HANDBAG SURVIVAL KIT Weekdays can be go, go, go and it’s often a struggle to fit everything into 9-5. So whether you’re a busy parent running around after the kids, or you’re juggling work meetings with a hectic social life, the last thing you need is to be slowed down by a blister from those heavenly yet hard-to-walk-in heels.

Lisa Snowdon Presenter Lisa, 43, is toned yet curvy. Here’s how she achieves it… THE MOVES Lisa is active, but not obsessive: “On a good week, I’ll fit in three exercise classes – whether that’s yoga, Pilates or cardio.” She also sees a personal trainer to do TRX sessions (a type of resistance training) and recently posted an impressive selfie, captioned: “Abs are coming back!! Woo hoo!” Sometimes she keeps it basic, saying: “If I’m busy, I’ll go for a run or power walk.” Her top tip is to walk as much as possible. THE FOODS The radio presenter avoids dairy as she’s lactose intolerant. She says: “Most of the time it’s easy, but sometimes I crave cheese.” She’s not into fads, adding: “I don’t want to be too thin…

Where do you shop? I normally shop online at Sainsbury’s but, as I’m so busy and not always home, I rarely do a big shop. I’ve been to Aldi before, though, and got food for the week for just £30 – amazing! What is your typical daily diet? I usually have boiled eggs or a bowl of fruit for breakfast. For lunch, I go for a quick and healthy option, like a chicken salad. Dinner tends to be something yummy, so fajitas or pasta. Although, now it’s getting warmer, I love a good barbecue for tea! I’m not really into snacking – I don’t like crisps and chocolate. But if I’m going to be out and about, I’ll take chopped veg or some nuts with me, so I’m not tempted…

Why are we dying for a tan? I’ll never forget my first lads’ holiday – soaking up the sun all day long and then comparing what felt like third-degree burns in a show of macho endurance. Stupid? Yes. Unusual? Sadly not. Increasing numbers of men (1,300 a year) are dying from skin cancer. In a recent survey, men are almost three times as likely not to use suncream, yet twice as likely to show no concern about skin cancer. Why do we do it? Well, for many of us, it’s not considered manly to worry about skincare. It’s fine for women to slap factor 50 on their delicate complexions, but surely our skin is tougher and can cope? Fake tan is still a bit metrosexual isn’t it, so what could…

Q I’ve been with my partner for seven years and we haven’t had sex for the last two. We are so close and devoted to each other, but he lacks passion. He says sex feels “forbidden” and I think he sees me more as a mother or sister figure. We’re both 35 and really love each other. What can we do? Sandy, by email A “We” is the operative word here. He sounds perfectly happy with the situation as it is, but you need to let him know that you aren’t and are far too young to kiss goodbye to sex. His comment suggests he has some deep-rooted issues regarding sexual intercourse. Tell him you love him dearly but also loved being intimate and want to resume having sex.…

How much alcohol do you usually drink? I have a couple of glasses of red wine at the weekend, or a shandy if it’s warm. I tend not to drink too much because I can’t face hangovers. Have you ever had cosmetic surgery? No, but I wouldn’t rule it out. Have you ever had any mental health issues? I’ve suffered with anxiety and depression. When you’re in the grip of it you’d do anything to feel “normal,” but depression is nothing to be ashamed of or feel embarrassed about. Do you ever diet? The word “diet” should be banned because they don’t work. I just eat very healthily. Have you ever had any embarrassing health moments? I once wrongly assumed that you could eat a suppository! Is there a health…

THE THREE-POINT PLAN Laura probably isn’t entitled to tuition fees or a grant, so will have to self-fund the course. But she may be entitled to a maintenance loan (rules vary depending on the uni) to help with living costs. Laura needs to network – she should connect with people in HR on LinkedIn and attend business events to see if sponsorship or training on the job might be a better career move. She should also research HR salaries to see if an extra degree will boost her salary enough to make the cost worth it. Laura is doing well with her savings, but needs to ask herself whether she wants to plough that into study or keep saving for the future.…

SHEREE’S ONE AND ONLY MASTERCHEF The lovely Sheree Murphy brightens up the MasterChef kitchen this week, taking part in a new celebrity series. And there was one thing that made her knees tremble more than being faced with the fearsome judges – the presence of ’90s pop star Chesney Hawkes! The One And Only hit-maker joins ex-Dales star Sheree, plus Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, Most Haunted’s Yvette Fielding and former Holby City actress Patricia Potter in the first heat. “When Chesney walked in the room, I was like: ‘OMG, it’s Chesney Hawkes!’” laughs Sheree. “I told him I bought his single, but he just laughed – he’s the sweetest guy!” Mum-of-four Sheree, who likes rustling up home-made lasagne and cheesecake for her hubby, ex-football player Harry Kewell, adds: “It…

HIGH FIDELITY COOL SOUNDTRACK ALERT Sun 14 June, 11.15pm, BBC1 Rob (John Cusack) gets ditched by his current squeeze because he isn’t able to commit to their relationship. Constantly making “Top Five” lists, he makes another one about his worst break-ups, tracking down each former flame to find out why they dumped him.

...EXCEPT WHEN THEY’RE WORLDS APART…

Her journey to fall pregnant a second time has been a tough one, fraught with months of IVF treatment and tears, but last week Kim Kardashian announced the news that she was finally expecting with husband Kanye West. Insiders reveal that while the couple are over the moon to be having a sibling for 23-month-old North, their marriage has been through months of tension. A source says: “Kim and Kanye have been arguing a lot. She thought the pregnancy would bring them closer again, but in some ways it’s had the opposite effect. Kim is feeling unattractive and suffering from morning sickness. And instead of pushing her to get pregnant, she feels Kanye has started picking at her over her career decisions. Kim’s been in tears and says she’s sick…

She’s never been one to shy away from the cameras, and after revealing she’d lost 2st earlier this year, TOWIE’s Gemma Collins says she’s getting more male attention than ever. The TOWIE cast jetted off to sunny Marbella last week, and Gemma was spotted making the most of filming their jet-set series by sharing a passionate kiss with a new love interest known only as Seb. The 34-year-old reality star partied the night away in Puerto Banus hot spot News Café with co-stars Ferne McCann and Bobby Norris, but she only had eyes for her handsome companion. Gemma – who has been unlucky in love over the years, enduring volatile relationships with exes Rami Hawash and convicted criminal Alex Moss – admitted last week: “I’m loving Marbella and getting more…

Last week, Davina McCall ignited a backlash after saying: “You must keep your husband satisfied in the bedroom department, even if you’re absolutely exhausted. Otherwise, he will go somewhere else.” Following the furore, Davina, 47, who has three children with her husband of 15 years, Matthew Robertson, defended her position on Twitter, saying : “I do not submit to my husband, nor does he submit to me. My mum said to keep your man happy, stay intimate.” So, is the TV presenter right? Should we keep our men satisfied to stop them straying? CALUM BEST: ‘Davina’s right - you should make an effort!’ Reformed Lothario Calum, 34, is in a relationship with model Ianthe Rose Cochrane-Stack, 23. He says: “I see where Davina is coming from. Sex is a big…

It’s not a part-time job you’d immediately associate with a grandmother, but 74-year-old Sheila Breen says becoming a nude model has transformed her life. And the OAP, who has four children – Sandra, 49, Karla, 46, Richard, 44, and Robert, 42, and four grandchildren – credits flashing her wobbly bits with curing her loneliness. Sheila, who lives in London and used to be in the Navy, says: “I love my body – I’m proud to show off my droopy size 40DD boobs and saggy bits. I’ve got more body confidence now than when I was in my 20s. “But as I’ve got older I’ve cared less about my body. It’s a natural part of growing up – you realise how silly your insecurities are. “Retirement was so dull, I hate…

She’s already conquered the business world as the founder of lingerie empire Ultimo – worth an estimated £20m – and beaten her body battles by shedding an impressive 7›st in the past four years. But Michelle Mone tells Closer she’s now ready to tackle the dating world and is optimistic about finding love. The 43-year-old has been largely single since her 19-year marriage to husband Michael Mone crumbed in 2011 when he left her for her former employee Samantha Bunn. She says: “I did think that I was still vulnerable, but I know I’m not any more. I don’t have any bitterness inside me and I feel ready to meet someone. It would be the icing on top of the cake.” And while the star was linked to X Factor…

I’ve got a walk-in wardrobe and it’s super-organised… I group my clothes in sections. It makes it easier choosing outfits in the morning as I know where everything is! I love a bargain… If someone tells me they like my outfit I usually tell them how much it cost as I’m a proud bargain hunter! You can get some great deals on the high street – I love River Island – but I also like to buy my clothes from boutiques for a more individual look. I spotted some amazing £10 sandals at Romford Market the other day – I love them so much, I bought every colour! I do like a designer treat, though… I don’t indulge very often, but I bought myself a Prada bag (£1,600) when I…

JUST LANDED We get it, it’s pricey for a liner, but if you’re the kind of girl who’s all about that flick, as opposed to that base, then listen up! This matte, gel liner does not budge. It has a rubber, angled tip that dispenses a mega-dark liquid and really helps you achieve the perfect flick. It’s also quick drying and lasts all day. We promise. ON TRIAL  This week we tried razors from £1.99 to £11.50. Here are our top three… HOLIDAY SAVIOUR This razor gave us a super-close shave without irritating skin.

HOW TO... LOVE YOUR POST-BABY BODY While Instagram sensation Sarah Stage may have shown off her incredibly toned tum just four days after giving birth, back in the real world – where we’re battling night feeds, eye bags and wobbly bits – we can’t fathom how that is possible! Having a baby has a huge impact on your body, so here’s how to accept – and love – your post-baby body. GET REAL Remember that the celebrity experience of birth and motherhood often comes with luxuries – stylists, personal trainers, free beauty products and nannies. The average woman has to care for her new baby without a team of helpers, as well as carrying out a million chores. Your body isn’t the most important thing – enjoying your baby is!…

You save up all year for your summer hols, then end up dreading anyone seeing your body. Well, there are two approaches you can adopt – either hide behind a sarong and oversized sunnies, or turn that fear into defiance. You’ve worked bloody hard to pay for this holiday and you’re going to “own” it. Walk tall and feel confident. Take heart in the fact men suffer, too – a survey shows that in the run-up to a holiday, 1/4 of British men hit the gym, 1/5 start a diet and 3/4 trim or remove body hair.…

My child is overweight Q The school nurse sent me a letter saying my five-year-old child is overweight. I’m rather embarrassed and a bit shocked by this. What should I do? Caroline, by email A Children aged four or five and 10 or 11 are now weighed and measured by NHS staff at their school, and the results sent to their parents. These measurements are to check for growth and development, similar to those done as a baby. If your child is overweight now, they are more likely to be overweight as an adult. Your GP or school nurse can offer support and you should think about making changes to your family’s diet and activity levels. Visit www.nhs.uk/change4life for advice. Why do I come out in blotches? Q When I…

It’s been almost six years since superstar Michael Jackson’s shock death. Since then his family have endured bitter court battles, kidnapping accusations and even suicide attempts – but now, finally, they seem to be back from the brink. Following his death from a cardiac arrest after a cocktail of prescription drugs in 2009, the late singer’s mother Katherine lost custody of his children Prince Michael, now 18, Paris, 17, and Prince Michael II, 13, in a bitter court feud, which also included control over the star’s £300m estate, with TJ – son of Michael’s brother Tito – becoming their legal guardian. The Jackson family were also dragged into countless lawsuits, including the high-profile case against concert promoters AEG Live – in which an emotional Paris was called on to give…

She’s faced a turbulent time recently, battling public digs from Louis Walsh and Alesha Dixon and seeing her latest single Only Human fail to make the top 100. And despite being all smiles while out in London last week, pals say the recent stresses have caused Cheryl Fernandez-Versini to lose her appetite – worrying Jean-Bernard, her husband of nearly a year. A source says: “Cheryl has been really stressed out and has lost her appetite. Friends have noticed she’s lost weight recently. They can see she has no appetite and worry about her stress levels.” Jean-Bernard has always been protective of his wife. Last August, he hit out at Instagram fans who dubbed the singer “too skinny,” blasting: “She’s the most beautiful woman on the planet.” Then, in March, he…

She’s been enjoying her maternity leave after finishing her radio show last month, and Fearne Cotton proudly posed last week at the Glamour Awards showing off her seven months pregnant bump. And Fearne, 33 – who already has son Rex, two, with musician husband Jesse Wood, 38, and is stepmum to his son Arthur, 11, and eight-year-old daughter Lola – has said she’ll be thrilled whether it’s a boy or a girl. She said: “I will be happy with either. I have a step daughter, so I have that lovely scenario anyway. I just feel lucky to be pregnant again.”…

Mum-of-10 Mandy Cowie, 49, from Hastings, receives £22k a year in benefits, and lives in a four-bed council house with her three youngest kids. She says: “It’s fine for Tracy Lewis to say big families shouldn’t claim benefits, but she’s got her husband to help her. I’m a single mum and I’ve got no one to turn to. When the kids were younger I had five at home at one point and it would’ve been impossible to work – I also wanted to be around to see them grow up. Now my daughter Charlie, 14, is difficult and doesn’t go to school a lot and my son Jack, 13, has behavioural problems. If they settle down I’ll get a job. I didn’t plan on having so many kids, but I…

Following his announcement in April about his plans to transition into a woman, Bruce Jenner unveiled his new female identity on the cover of US magazine Vanity Fair last week – revealing the new name, Caitlyn. According to sources, the 65-year-old’s transformation is the result of a £40k surgery makeover. In March, Bruce had implants to give him a 36D bust and underwent a complex and lengthy facial operation. He had previously had an op to shave down his Adam’s apple in 2014. A source reveals: “As well as a boob job, Caitlyn underwent 10 hours of surgery on her face to make it more feminine, which included shaving down the chin and jawline and reshaping her nose. It was a serious procedure and very nerve-wracking for the whole family.…

From her manic wide-eyed stare, screaming fits and notoriously comic attempts to seduce her fellow inmate Piper Chapman, Orange Is The New Black character Suzanne Warren has fast become a global sensation. But meeting actress Uzo Aduba, 33, it’s hard to believe she can play psychotic but strangely loveable Suzanne – otherwise known a Crazy Eyes – in the prison drama. In the flesh, Uzo couldn’t be more different from her on-screen character. As I enter her serene hotel room at the Mandarin Oriental in Paris, she’s singing opera to herself by the window. “I just love Tosca,” says the classically-trained singer politely. “It makes me feel calm.” Gone is Crazy Eyes’ spiked hair and energetically manic behaviour – instead, Uzo has beautifully coiffed long locks and a gentle smile.“I…

Once a confirmed bachelor, Simon Cowell insisted last year that his partner of two years, Lauren Silverman, had drastically changed his views on marriage, saying: “I wouldn’t rule anything out. We’re very happy.” But with the pair appearing to be no closer to an engagement, sources say Lauren – who’s mum to their 16-month-old son Eric – is frustrated by the music mogul’s failure to propose. A source reveals: “Lauren felt sure Simon would propose after the birth of Eric, but it’s been nearly a year and a half and there’s still no engagement. They’ve discussed marriage in the past and Simon’s said he’s open to it, but he never commits. Lauren’s getting fed up of waiting and tells pals she’s worried he may never pop the question.” Despite a…

ASK US ... If you’ve ever wanted to ask us a question here’s your chance! Q WHICH TV SHOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE RETURN TO OUR SCREENS? Stacie, via email A Deputy Online Editor Kayleigh Dray says: “Obviously The Crystal Maze . It gave us everything we needed from TV; think baffled contestants, ridiculously elaborate tasks, confetti cannons, mouth organs, and Richard O’Brien’s one-sided conversations with ‘Mumsy.’ Even the terrible prizes (almost-new toaster, anyone?) were epic. All they need to do is make sure the contestants are all ex-reality stars. Then they’ll really have a hit on their hands!” YOU DEBATE! SHOULD PARENTS BE PENALISED FOR SMOKING AROUND THEIR CHILDREN?

At a little over three months pregnant, Imogen Thomas is already showing off a cute, rounded baby bump on our shoot. The former Big Brother star – who is mum to Ariana, two – has recently announced that she’s expecting her second child in November and admits she’s surprised at just how quickly her body has changed. “My hips have become much wider and I’ve already got a bump,” smiles model Imogen, 32. “I’ve not weighed myself but I know I’ve given in to my cravings for potatoes and cheese. Also, none of my regular jeans fit me so I’ve already bought loads of maternity clothes.” Imogen – who is 5ft 6 – admits she struggled to lose the weight she put on while pregnant with daughter Ariana in 2013…
