Celebrities and surgery seem to go hand-in-hand. No sooner are they famous than they embark on a slippery slope, tinkering with their looks until, often, we struggle to recognise them. Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby has taken her first steps by having a nose job but, thankfully, she tells Closer that’s it for now – though she hasn’t ruled out having a designer vagina in the future! Importantly, she calls for a minimum age of 21 for cosmetic work to save young women from making mistakes. As the old saying goes, if it’s worth having, it’s worth waiting for.…

‘Kim’s told Kanye that she won’t be controlled’ Stepping out in yet another body stocking last week that hints at her post-baby figure, insiders say Kim Kardashian has already splashed out £65k on liposuction and plastic surgery to transform her body. And with divorce rumours escalating after husband Kanye West’s explosive Twitter rants – plus reports the couple are living apart because the rapper can’t stand living at the house of Kim’s mum, Kris Jenner, while their own home is renovated – insiders say Kim will use her new body to her advantage. A source says: “Kim thinks with a new sexy figure, she’ll gain even more popularity – she wants everyone to be talking about her, not her marriage.” SINGLE MUM The source adds: “She’s told her family she’s…

‘Natasha is struggling – she was so in love’ They had all the makings of the perfect pop couple but last week Natasha Hamilton and Ritchie Neville’s relationship came to a shock end when she announced they’d split, leaving her “devastated.” Speaking about the end of the five-month engagement last week, Natasha, 33 – who has 18-month-old daughter Ella with the 5ive singer – said: “Ritchie and I are still good friends but we are no longer together. We really tried to make our relationship work.” Friends say Natasha – whose marriage to businessman Riad Erraji ended in 2013 – is struggling to adjust to the split and still desperately wants to resolve their problems. A source says: “Natasha is very low – she was very much in love with…

Ellie Goulding shocked fans last week with the announcement that she and live-in boyfriend Dougie Poynter had split after two years together. Now insiders tell Closer how the break-up came after months of rows. In an emotionally charged interview, the singer, 29, revealed how her break-up from the McBusted bassist, 28, had also spurred her on to take a break from music when she finishes her current world tour, Delirium . Speaking about the break-up last week, Ellie said: “Everyone thinks I’m invincible, but the past few weeks have been tough. Next year I need to live a bit. Having a break [from music] will be a good thing for me and my head.” A source says: “Ellie’s hectic schedule put a huge amount of pressure on their relationship and…

With their first baby due this summer, Ben Cohen and Kristina Rihanoff were spotted sharing a kiss when she met him in Austria after he was crowned The Jump champion there last week. An insider tells us: “They’re really loved-up right now. The pregnancy’s given them a special bond and brought them closer than ever.” The couple announced they were dating in July, having met on Strictly in 2013 – while Ben, 37, was married to his now estranged wife, Abby, 37. Abby is allegedly divorcing the rugby player, and pals say Kristina, 38, is moving in with him. A source says: “They’ve agreed on a name and they’re buying a buggy and car seat. Ben’s also booking Kristina surprise facials and letting her put her feet up.”…

CLOSER PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “It’s understandable Jane is upset by her mum’s behaviour, which she sees as overstepping boundaries. While Janet might think she’s complimenting her daughter by copying her look, Jane clearly wants to have her own identity and wants her mum to respect that. Insecurity and a fear of ageing seems to be the cause of Janet’s obsession with her appearance, but in her mission to make herself feel happier she’s neglecting the most important thing in her life – her relationship with her daughter. It’s not healthy to try to be someone else. They need to talk about this and acknowledge how Janet’s behaviour is impacting their relationship before it’s too late.”…

Every day heartbroken mum Joan Lawrence lights a candle for her missing daughter Claudia and prays she’ll see her again. Claudia was reported missing in March 2009 after failing to turn up to work one day. Despite several arrests, no one has been charged with her murder and her disappearance remains a mystery. Joan, from Malton, North Yorkshire, refuses to give up hope Claudia will be found alive. But this year the anniversary of her disappearance will be harder than ever, as after seven years a missing person can be officially declared dead – something Joan cannot imagine. NO EVIDENCE She says: “While there’s no evidence to show Claudia has died, I’ll always have hope. As her mum, I can’t give up. To assume she is dead is just beyond…

AGE: 34 HEIGHT: 5FT 6 WEIGHT: 11 1/2ST DRESS SIZE: 12 She was so extrovert in the CBB house that we didn’t know what to expect when we met Tiffany Pollard. But in person, she’s polite, friendly and professional, introducing herself to the whole team and thanking our make-up artist and stylist for their “beautiful” work. Not a diva strop in sight. But in true Tiffany style, after a glass of Prosecco for Dutch courage, she was more than happy to strip down to her underwear for our photo shoot. “I’ve never done a shoot like this before, but I feel so alive and powerful,” Tiffany laughs as she poses for the camera. “I feel sexy, it’s very sensual and beautiful.” Despite brimming with confidence in the house, Tiffany, 34…

Mums know best, so when you think there’s something wrong, talk to your doctor – it’s what we’re here for. I always say paediatrics is a bit like veterinary nursing, because you’ve got a very anxious owner (the parent) and a patient who can’t really tell you anything. If a baby isn’t feeding normally, if they’re listless, if their cry is different, you’ll know. I can spot a sick child too. When they’re well they wander about pulling things off the desk, an ill child just sits there. Here’s what to look out for but, ultimately, trust your gut. FEVER Anything over 37.5°C is a high temperature. In a tiny baby, get that checked straight away. For an older child, take a few readings to be sure, and gauge their…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… £5 a week. I spent it on sweets and bits and bobs from Claire’s. MY FIRST JOB WAS… As a barmaid in a pub. The smell of vodka on my hands was horrid, but it meant I could afford lots of clothes from Topshop. I SPENT MY FIRST PAY CHEQUE ON… When I started dancing professionally I bought myself a pair of trainers for £100. It was such a treat. MY BIGGEST IMPULSE BUY WAS… I recently bought a pink Chloé bag for £300. THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN IS… A black Givenchy bag, which cost over £1,000.

You look gorgeous – what’s your secret? You’re too kind. If my skin has any freshness whatsoever, it’s down to vitamin C – inside and outside. I use a serum from the Harley Street Skincare range, and I eat a lot of fruit and veg; we all should. Eight hours of sleep a night in a comfy bed also helps to keep the years at bay. Your character in Boomers , Maureen, obviously loves make-up. Do you? I wear nail varnish, lipstick and scent, but that’s all. I can see my nails, I can taste my lips and I like to smell nice, but I can’t be bothered to spend lots of time in front of the mirror. What’s in store for you in this second series?…

After weeks of secrecy, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Liam Payne began flaunting their relationship with gushing Instagram posts and declarations of love and, last week, they went on their first public date to celebrate the birthday of Cheryl’s PA at a London restaurant. As a mark of how serious the romance is, Cheryl’s mum, Joan Callaghan – who she is very close to – joined the new couple. But despite the 32-year-old singer’s smiles, she is battling her insecurities about the relationship, and insiders say her jealousy is already threatening to ruin things, which is why she chose to wear a “love” necklace – as a warning to love rivals. A source says: “Cheryl thought the best way for her mum to get to know Liam was at a dinner with…

Dr David Feldmar, Hollywood plastic surgeon and the Director of Art & Science Plastic Surgery, says: “The ‘Mummy Makeover’ has become popular with A-list celebs recently. They want to restore their bodies to how they looked before pregnancy in the quickest possible time. “It’s usually a combination of things including breast augmentation, a breast-lift and a tummy tuck, plus liposuction from the stomach, back and thighs. Some celebs even opt for vaginal rejuvenation, which is a procedure to tighten the vagina. Labiaplasty is also popular, which involves trimming the labia. “The whole ‘Mummy Makeover’ process can be done in one operation and takes about two to three weeks in recovery time. Celebs often choose to have it done within weeks of giving birth.” • For more info, visit www.artscienceplasticsurgery.com…

Last week Natasha Hamilton revealed she’d suffered with prenatal and postnatal depression during and after her pregnancy with Ella, and that she was helped by 22 intensive sessions of cognitive behavioural therapy. Natasha said: “Depression is just like extra stress on your shoulders. I’d have really tough days when I just wasn’t coping.” The mum-of-four has had an ongoing struggle with her mental health. She quit Atomic Kitten in 2004 after battling postnatal depression following Josh’s birth, saying she “broke down and wept uncontrollably” soon after he was born. She also revealed she “felt so isolated and frightened, to a point where I thought I was going crazy.” Opening up to Closer about her struggles after having Josh, Natasha has previously said: “Postnatal depression was the darkest point of my…

Their whirlwind romance had seemed to be over after reports they’d split due to their hectic lifestyles – but last week Thomas Cohen and Daisy Lowe were pictured looking loved-up, with pals saying they’ve vowed to take things more slowly. The pair became close following the tragic death of Thom’s wife Peaches Geldof from a heroin overdose two years ago – Daisy, 27, was one of Peaches’ best friends. Despite being pictured together in Miami over New Year, they only went public with their relationship last month, often spotted accompanied by Thom and Peaches’ sons Astala, three, and Phaedra, two. However, with Daisy’s modelling career at its peak and Thom, 25, dedicated to his sons and solo music career, pals say their schedules have got in the way of romance.…

She’s thrilled to be expecting a baby with her cameraman fiancé Marc Humphreys – now Natalie Cassidy has told pals how her daughter Eliza is so excited to be a big sister, she’s already picked out a list of names for the new arrival. SO EXCITED The EastEnders actress, 32, is expecting a baby this summer – a sister or brother for five-year-old Eliza, from her relationship with ex-fiancé Adam Cottrell. A source tells Closer : “Nat and Marc have involved Eliza in every moment of the pregnancy and she’s so excited, they’ve joked she thinks it’s her own baby! “Eliza has picked out a list of her favourite names for them to choose from, she’s been helping to get the nursery ready and wants to be in charge of…

McBusted star Tom Fletcher’s wife Giovanna was left in shock last week when a female fan – who wanted a photo with the singer – hit out at her weight just 11 days after she gave birth to their second son, Buddy. After Giovanna asked not to be in the photo, the fan said: “Maybe when your face has slimmed down a bit,” and “I see Mummy’s still got her tummy.” It led Giovanna, 31, to film a vlog to explain how proud of her body she is. Here, Giovanna and Sam Faiers – who gave birth to son Paul in December – discuss the unrealistic pressures faced by new mums. GIOVANNA: ‘People are unaware of what a real post-baby body looks like’ Vlogger Giovanna, 31, has two sons –…

Do you try everything you’re given? John: Absolutely. Even when viewers are thinking, “Yuk, that looks horrible,” we do actually have to eat it! Gregg: The oddest concoction we’ve had this time is truffle-flavoured custard, ew. Then there was chocolate mousse flavoured with pig’s blood... Do you cut back on what you eat at home when you’re filming? J: On a day where we’ve sampled up to eight plates of food I’ll probably just have a small dinner! G: I look on that as one of my meals, so eight mouthfuls of food is like a big lunch. John cycles to keep it off; I’m in the gym six days a week. Do you prefer doing the regular MasterChef or the celebrity version? J: I like…

She’s always been known for her statuesque size 8 figure, and Cat Deeley confesses that despite looking better than ever just two months after giving birth, she’s not been hitting the gym to get her body back. Wowing in a tight red dress that shows off her amazing figure, Cat, 39 – who married 45-year-old Irish comedian Patrick Kielty three years ago – is loving motherhood and can’t wait to talk about her baby boy, whose name is yet to be revealed. She tells Closer : “I’m besotted with the baby and really enjoying motherhood!” RUNNING AROUND She adds: “People keep asking me if I’ve been hitting the gym, but I haven’t! I think breastfeeding is key and it’s worked well for me. Add that to running around after a…

I hate how reliant we’ve become on texts and emails to deal with “difficult” conversations. Confronting people in the flesh can feel scary, but it’s far less likely to blow up in your face. Letting someone down, like telling your BFF you’re not feeling up to a night out, deserves at least a call – yet we often type out our excuses. Yes, it means you dodge the awkward conversation there and then, but unless you intend to avoid them forever you’ll need to have it out at some point. Be a grown-up and communicate!

Tell us about your character, Sergeant Danny Waldron... He’s a member of an armed response unit. He’s a complex character; on the surface he’s great at his job and rules his team with an iron fist – then you see him in the pub trying to chat up a girl and he’s really vulnerable. An incident happens in the first episode where he’s put under investigation. Do you have to run around after criminals a lot, waving guns about? Chasing suspects wearing all that gear was a challenge!

YES MAN JUST SAY YES! SAT 19 MARCH, 11PM, ITV Based on the brill book by Danny Wallace, a guy (Jim Carrey) challenges himself to say “yes” to everything for an entire year. Such a positive attitude does turn his life around from being a bit of a pain to getting the girl (hello, Zooey Deschanel), but there’s also a deeply disturbing scene involving an old age pensioner who wants, ahem, servicing.

Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini have been through thick and thin since she originally joined him as an X Factor judge in 2008. But now insiders say his girlfriend Lauren Silverman, 38, is frustrated by Simon’s close relationship with the 32-year-old singer. According to sources Simon, 56, has been spending a lot of his free time counselling Cheryl since she publicly confirmed her romance with Liam Payne, 22, and Lauren’s rumoured to be finding the situation difficult. Tensions allegedly came to a head recently when Lauren, who has a two-year-old son, Eric, with Simon, reportedly snapped after he spent two hours on the phone to Cheryl. The source says: “Simon went into his office to speak to Cheryl on the phone and returned two hours later. Lauren was angry and…

She regularly posts pics of herself wearing very little on Instagram, but Chloe Madeley, 28 – daughter of chat-show hosts Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan – says there’s nothing “empowering” about Kim’s naked selfies. “Kim says naked selfies make her feel empowered, but I can’t relate to that,” she says. “I post underwear selfies online all the time, because it’s part of my job as a fitness expert to look toned. Posting them doesn’t make me feel empowered, it’s just part of my job. I feel what Kim’s doing is more of a strategic career move – she’s always made money from her body, her sexuality and how she looks.” She adds: “I have no issue with nudity or with Kim posting photos of her body, though. I don’t understand…

‘Jac is sick of people dwelling on their past’ She was left fuming last week after being “ambushed” during an appearance on Loose Women and grilled about her fiancé Dan Osborne’s past. During the chat Jacqueline Jossa, 23 – who has 13-month-old daughter Ella with Dan – was asked about recordings that surfaced last year of Dan threatening his ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin, who is mum to their two-year-old son, Teddy, as well as claiming Jacqueline’s pregnancy was “a mistake.” UNITED FRONT Now pals say that, despite last week’s drama, the pair are even more determined to put on a united front and build a solid future together. A source says: “Jac and Dan are sick of people dwelling on the past and bringing up his ugly spat with Megan. They’ve…

Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell’s relationship has been anything but stable since they fell for each other in the Celebrity Big Brother house seven weeks ago. They’ve talked openly about having children and getting married, but two weeks ago Stephanie Tweeted she’d “never love again” after Jeremy cheated – sparking rumours the couple had split yet again. However, last week, he was said to have been preparing to propose and insiders say Stephanie, 23, can’t keep away from him. A source says: “Steph is torn – she can play hard ball when they’re apart, but the minute she claps eyes on him she goes to mush. She knows he’s bad for her, but she says she’s addicted to him and can’t help herself.” In a joint interview on Loose Women…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Maisie Williams vs Rose Byrne This floral appliqué Preen dress is blooming gorgeous, so it’s no wonder Game Of Thrones actress Maisie and Bridesmaids star Rose fell for it.

TRADE SECRETS… Cold weather and wearing nail polish regularly can take its toll on your nails and cuticles. Hand creams are great, but a hydrating oil will work twice as quickly to get your pinkies back on track.

After a couple of uses, your nails will feel stronger, look shinier and it will help prevent breakages. It’s my secret winter weapon! ON TRIAL This week we tried micellar cleansers from £2.99 to £14.

“I’m a single mum and I work three days a week at my retail job, so Oriyah, three, is in nursery for those days. I’d like to work more but that would mean my benefits drop and nursery fees increase, and the extra income wouldn’t be enough to cover it. Right now I can afford to pay my bills but there isn’t enough left to have a life or buy my own home. I’d like to decorate my rented flat or treat Oriyah to a holiday or fun day out, but I’m trapped in a circle where, the more I work, the higher my bills. I want to be more financially stable, have savings and eventually own my own home. I also want my daughter and I to have a…

Despite having a fear of water and detesting the cold, TV presenter Alex Jones said yes straight away when she was asked to do the BT Sport Relief Challenge: Hell On High Seas. As hair-raising as it sounds, it involves little sleep, no showers, eating vacuum-packed food and living in cramped conditions. Together with TV presenters Angellica Bell and Suzi Perry, comic Hal Cruttenden, Smack The Pony star Doon Mackichan and sports presenter Ore Oduba, Alex was tasked with sailing from Belfast, around Scotland’s north coast and back to London, in a 65-foot-long yacht normally used for racing. “It’s really small and is constantly at an angle because that’s how the sails work,” Alex told us when we caught up with her a few days before she set sail. “The…
