BRITNEY'S NEW WAR WITH KEVIN Britney Spears has accused her ex-husband Kevin Federline of ‘gaslighting’, after he claimed that their sons would wake up to find her holding a knife. In an excerpt of his new memoir, You Thought You Knew – obtained by The New York Times – dancer Kevin, 47, allegedly writes of their sons, Sean, 20, and Jayden, 19, ‘They would awaken sometimes at night to find [Britney] standing silently in the doorway, watching them sleep – “Oh, you’re awake?” – with a knife in her hand. Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation.’ Kevin is said to have written, ‘The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible. It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK.’ The Lucky singer, 43…

BOBBY NORRIS The TOWIE star has ‘always felt spiritual’ and, sharing details of one incident, he says, ‘I once woke up in the night with a weird feeling somebody was in my bedroom – I was being watched.’ Bobby, 39, continues, ‘I opened my eyes, there was a lady sitting at the end of the bed, looking at me.

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! When Marcela Iglesias’ only child turned 23, she started feeling broody and yearned to have another bundle of joy. But with her husband Steve not on the same page, Marcela had to think outside the box, and that’s when she decided that if she couldn’t have a baby, she’d get the next best thing – a doll. Marcela ordered a doll made in her likeness and named her Sofia. She instantly loved her mini-me and took her out in a pram on her daily errands, often getting stopped in the street. But it wasn’t always because of Sofia, as Marcela had become known as the Human Barbie after spending over £73,000 to make herself look like the iconic doll. Now she is thrilled with her mini-me – and…

How much do you spend? We mainly shop at Aldi and spend around £90 a week. I love that you can fill the trolley without breaking the bank. That said, I always end up doing a couple of top-up shops at the Co-op during the week for things we’ve run out of. Describe your daily diet… Breakfast is usually on-the-go, so I’ll grab a granola bar. The Deliciously Ella ones are my favourite because they’re full of natural ingredients and not overly sweet. Lunch tends to be smashed avocado on sourdough, topped with cherry tomatoes. Dinner is often something quick but hearty, like a tomato orzotto with crispy tofu for protein. Is there anything you refuse to eat? Fish. I used to be fine with it, but a few years…

Even if you keep an eye out for great broadband deals, it could be that you’ve missed a significant discount. Social tariffs are specially discounted deals available to people on certain benefits, such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit and some disability benefits. They can cost as little as £12-£20 a month, but of the 4.3 million eligible households, only around 220,000 (5.1%) are currently signed up. ‘If you’re on a low income or receive means-tested benefits, such as Universal Credit, there’s a good chance you qualify for a social tariff,’ says Thomas Gibbons, a money adviser at Money Wellness. ‘If you’re unsure where to start, speak to your current provider first; they can often help you switch to a cheaper deal before you even need to look elsewhere. If they…

Her marriage has been under scrutiny ever since a wild Ibiza trip with close pal Pete Wicks. And after Olivia Attwood recently admitted that marriage is ‘frickin’ hard’, sources tell Closer that there’s ‘tension’ bubbling between her and husband Bradley Dack behind the scenes. Our insider says, ‘Things haven’t been easy for Olivia and Brad lately. On the surface, they still look like the perfect couple, but behind the scenes there’s been a few difficult conversations. She feels the honeymoon period has worn off and real life has kicked in. ‘Olivia’s been trying to hold it together, but she’s emotionally drained. She’s incredibly career-driven and constantly in the spotlight. Bradley’s supportive, but he’s struggled with how public their lives have become. That pressure has definitely taken its toll on him.’…

Last month, he confirmed they were back together, sharing a picture of the mystery blonde on social media and calling her his ‘beautiful baby…

HALLOWEEN SPECIAL! Signing on to her online session, Rosanna Hanness, 43, prepares to offer guidance to her latest client. But this is no ordinary therapy session, because Rosanna claims to be ‘star-seed’, meaning she is not from this planet -and her purpose here is to help ‘earthlings’. Rosanna, 43, says, ‘When I work with a client, I bring their soul energy into their body and reactivate their soul connection. I don’t need to be physically present with them, Zoom is fine! I can help people change their programming and clear their financial, health or relationship blockages. Higher beings have shown me that my purpose here on earth is helping others.’ After an epiphany in her twenties, Rosanna realised she was from out of this world. Rosanna, who lives in Brighton…

Millions of people around the world have undiagnosed diabetes, according to a new global survey. Researchers discovered nearly half of all of adults with diabetes are unaware they have the condition – and young people are particularly at risk. Undiagnosed diabetes can cause serious health problems; it can lead to kidney failure, blindness or even losing a limb. But how can you tell if you have diabetes? And what sort of treatment is available if you do? The new research revealed 45% of all people with diabetes don’t know they have it – most of these people have type 2 diabetes. And those most likely to go undiagnosed are young adults; just 26% of people aged 15-39 with diabetes have a diagnosis. This puts young people at a much higher…

She’s been feeling much healthier since losing over 13st, and while Alison Hammond achieved her impressive slimdown through hard work and a lifestyle overhaul, she tells Closer that she would consider using weight-loss injections in future. ‘I didn’t use them, absolutely not. But I’m not saying that I won’t have the jab later on in my life,’ she says. ‘I might have it, I might not. I don’t like the fact that you have to say, “Oh no, I wouldn’t have the jab”. Maybe next year, I might change my mind and I might start jabbing up.’ She adds, ‘I have no opinion about them. They help a lot of people. If someone wants the jab, go for it. What does it matter how someone loses their weight? Would you…

When Closer logs onto a Zoom call with Josie Gibson, she is sitting in her car after being locked out of the caravan she’s just moved into. The This Morning host is currently living in her back garden while she renovates her dream country home – but things have been far from plain sailing so far. ‘I’ve just had to have a locksmith out, and he’s charged me £154 just to get into the caravan because I’ve lost the keys,’ the star laughs in her down-to-earth Bristolian tone. ‘This is proper country living here!’ THE GOOD LIFE Josie, 40, is renovating her home in the sticks and has allowed cameras in to document the process for a new 2026 series, Josie Gibson’s Big Country Build. ‘I’m trying to do it…
