'KATE FEELS SYMPATHY FOR VICTORIA' The Beckham family war is raging on, with their once rock-solid and picture-perfect unit jeopardised by a bitter feud that has now taken a shock turn as celebrity royalty meets the real royals in a surprising pact. Eldest son Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz are reported to have cut contact with his mum Victoria, 51, and dad David, as well as his three siblings, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, with the pair pointedly skipping the former footballer’s 50th birthday celebrations. BLOOMING FRIENDSHIP And sources tell Closer that Brooklyn and Nicola have earned themselves unexpected new allies in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Reports last week revealed how the Sussexes were buddying up with the young couple amid their family fallout –…

When Natasha Blake sits down to eat her Sunday lunch, she has at least seven people around her table at any one time – her mum, Gloria, 70, her daughter Javanna, 24, and the four boys she is currently fostering. Over the last 17 years, Natasha, 44, and her family have fostered 40 children, and she says it has enriched her life. Natasha, who lives in London, says, ‘We’re three generations of foster carers, and it’s brought us so much happiness. We’ve looked after children of all ages, ranging from babies to teenagers, and have cared for several children with disabilities, including severe autism and cerebral palsy. ‘Most children stay with us for a few years, and everyone becomes part of our extended family. Our experiences have brought me so…

When Eila Adams looks at the camera to deliver the news, viewers are treated to a lot more than a recap of the day’s top stories. Eila, 37, is the longestrunning news anchor on NakedNews.Com, a Canadian current affairs show where the presenters give the headlines in the nude. It’s a world away from the suited and booted round-up you’d get from traditional news presenters, like Kay Burley and Krishnan Guru-Murthy, but Eila says that viewers can’t get enough. Eila, who’s been on the show for 15 years, says, ‘I’ll start reading the teleprompter in a bikini and slowly disrobe or, if it’s a serious news item, I might start off in a suit. If we cover something sad like a celebrity dying, then out of respect we won’t start…

The upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating has been filming in Ibiza, with stars like Kerry Katona, 44, and Olivia Hawkins, 29, already out there in a bid to find love – but sources can reveal that behind the scenes, the show has turned into a nightmare. This year, there’s reportedly more cast hook-ups than ever, and while it isn’t unheard of – in the past, Adam Collard, 29, and Lottie Moss, 27, had a dramatic fling, and Joey Essex, 34, and Stephanie Pratt, 39, fell for each other – those were considered anomalies. However, this season the celebs are said to be casting off their dates and making a beeline for each other, which insiders say is ruining the integrity of the show. A source tells Closer, ‘The magic…

DANNY: 'Who doesn't want a bit of naughtiness?' It was a night of celebrations for Danny Dyer, whose role in Mr Bigstuff saw him take home the BAFTA for Male Comedy Performance. And after becoming tearful onstage – with his sweary speech cut from the BAFTAs broadcast – the actor, 47, shares, ‘I can’t believe how emotional I was. You know, masculinity and all that – it’s OK to cry now and again. I can’t believe I’ve won one of these.’ BIG THINGS TO COME Known for being one of TV’s most loveable geezers, Danny became a household name in EastEnders as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter. Opening up about leaving the soap in 2022 after almost a decade, Danny shares, ‘EastEnders changed my career for so many reasons, but…

How much do you spend? I spend around £100 every 10 days on an Ocado shop for my husband, my 24-year-old son and my 12-year-old son – so, essentially, three grown men! I try to be quite frugal with it, but I also love heading to our local grocer for fresh fruit and veg, and I alway go to our butcher for organic meat when we’re having it. Describe your daily diet… Breakfast is usually muesli with semiskimmed milk and frozen berries that I warm up with a drizzle of maple syrup. But if I’m in the mood for eggs, I’ll have them scrambled, poached or in an omelette. If I’m staying in a hotel for business, I always let them do the work! Lunch is often on the go,…

When you think of someone with gout, you normally imagine an older, larger gentleman who enjoys the finer things in life, like plenty of rich food and drink. You certainly don’t picture a busy young woman, so it’s quite unusual that Josie Gibson was diagnosed with this ‘medieval’ condition. Research shows the number of people with gout is going up worldwide – and young people are increasingly affected. So, are you at risk? Gout is a type of arthritis that leads to very painful, swollen joints. It’s caused by crystals of uric acid forming in and around your joints; normally your big toe, although it sometimes affects your other toes and ankles. We all have uric acid in our bodies, but when levels get too high, these crystals can start…

They were childhood sweethearts and got engaged when they were just teenagers. Now, as Coleen and Wayne Rooney approach celebrating 17 years together, insiders tell Closer they’re planning a romantic vow renewal – and it seems likely that fans will be able to watch the whole thing! SUMMER CELEBRATIONS The pair’s 17th wedding anniversary is coming up on 12 June, and our source tells us that the celebrations will be part of a summer to remember for the couple, The source says, ‘Coleen can’t wait, as this summer will be their first that won’t revolve around football, and they’re planning to really go for it. They’ve even spoken about renewing their vows in Barbados.’ Jetting off to the Caribbean would be the perfect way to mark the special occasion. Coleen…

Fans were left shocked last week after James ‘Arg’ Argent made headlines for a horrifying attack on his now ex-girlfriend in Spain following a bitter row. The former TOWIE favourite was given a six-month suspended prison sentence for domestic violence offences against Nicoline Artursson. Arg, 37, was also issued with a two-year restraining order against fashion model Nicoline, 32, after he was reported to have shoved her down steps during a heated row outside her apartment in Spain. The court also ordered him to complete a course on gender violence. Witnesses had reported seeing the couple row, with Arg throwing her clothes from a balcony before he pushed Nicoline down steps outside the apartment, leaving her ‘severely hurt’ and crying out for help. Neighbours called the police but the reality…

She’s come a long way since shooting to fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2013 – going on to reach the final of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015 and winning Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins in 2022. Ferne McCann also landed her own reality show, documenting her journey into motherhood after welcoming daughters Sunday, seven, and Finty, one. But after deciding to end her show, My Family & Me (previously titled First Time Mum) after 13 series, the 34-year-old has now reflected on her time as a reality star and the impact it had on her mental health. She admitted, ‘I always wanted to perform – 10-year-old me wanted to be an actress in Hollywood. I had to settle for Essex and being…

When Chloe Agoglia was jolted awake by a text message from her sister’s partner in the early hours of the morning last January, nothing could’ve prepared her for the shock that was to come. The three simple words, ‘she has gone’ would shatter Chloe and her family’s lives forever and leave three young children without a mum. Chloe’s sister Demi, 26, was in Turkey after having controversial Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery. She’d collapsed earlier in the day, just three days following the four-and-ahalf-hour procedure, and died within hours. An inquest concluded that Demi’s cause of death was a ‘microscopic fat embolism’ where injected fat which is used to create a fuller, more pronounced bottom, enters the bloodstream. Now Chloe, 23, lives with regret and says she wishes she’d tried…

1 The three beauty products I can’t live without are… Micellar water is a must. Garnier’s Vitamin C Serum for bright skin, and a SPF spray to use over make-up (what a game changer!). 2 I think moisturisers are often overpriced…. So I always use a Garnier one – they’re backed by science and amazing for the price! Like the Garnier Vitamin E Moisturising Body Cream. 3 My beauty advice to my younger self is… Wear SPF. When I was younger, I didn't wear enough SPF, and I think it has aged my skin – I’m afraid to think what my face would look like under UV lights! 4 I’m all about the glow… There is a massive trend toward getting a glowy complexion. Plus, if you look after your skin well enough, you…

I LOVE GOING FOR A SOLO RUN… No music, no company, just peace and quiet. I’ll find an easy pace and just really switch off from everything. I find this helps with my mental health. I know that it’s not everyone’s idea of relaxing, but it really works for me. I HAVE SAMBAZON AÇAÍ EVERY DAY… It's a powerful superfood that really helps with my recovery after training. Sometimes I’ll add protein powder to my smoothie or bowl for an extra nutrient boost. I LOVE REFORMER PILATES… I go at least once a week. I’m a qualified instructor too, although I don’t teach anymore. I still love it so much because it’s nice to switch things up in between hard training sessions. • Charlotte is the brand ambassador for SAMBAZON,…

If you tend to take your feelings out on your bank balance, you aren’t alone. Research by Kaldi reveals that 66% of UK adults admit to regularly indulging in emotional spending to cheer themselves up. But why do we do this when it only hurts our finances and our mental health? We spoke to some savvy experts to find out how to curb emotional spending. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR TRIGGERS Examining your relationship with spending is essential, according to Camilla Esmund, Senior Manager at Interactive Investor. She says. ‘This won’t be easy, but it’s a brave thing to do and it will pay off over the long-term. You’ll notice that emotional spending is rarely about the item – it’s about the feeling. Whether it’s boredom, stress, or social media FOMO,…

With a second season of Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash’s flyon-the-wall show already confirmed, insiders have told Closer that the mum of five is fearful of the camera crew capturing their every move on family holidays they take this year. A source close to the couple – who between them are parents to Harry, 17, from Joe’s relationship with ex-fiancée Emma Sophocleous, Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, from Stacey’s past relationships, and Rex, who turns six this week, Rose, three and two-year-old Belle – says, ‘The success of their reality show has felt both like a blessing and a curse to Stacey, especially as they plan their summer holidays. The first series has been such a hit that Stacey feels pressure to provide even more of her life for season…

Gordon Ramsay has been a household name for almost three decades. Beginning his career under the watchful eye of Marco Pierre White in the mid ’80s, Britain’s sweariest chef, 58, is probably best known for his frustrated outbursts on shows such as Hell’s Kitchen and Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. But away from TV, Gordon is a proud family man – sharing children Megan, 26, twins Jack and Holly, 25, and Tilly, 23, with his wife of 28 years, Tana, 50. In a later addition to their brood, the family welcomed sons Oscar, six, and one-year-old Jesse in recent years. There’s another family that is incredibly important to Gordon – the Beckhams! He and David have been friends for 20 years, and their partners Victoria and Tana are pals –with their broods…
