Lauren’s happy-ever-after? When Closer caught up with Lauren Goodger last month, she was head over heels in love. The TOWIE star was regularly visiting criminal Joey Morrison – currently serving part of an 18-year sentence for offences, including burglary and drug dealing – and spent Christmas with him. Now pals reveal she’s planning a prison wedding – and can’t wait to have Joey’s baby. Having a relationship with a man behind bars means contact is limited and you never get beyond those first date butterflies. If Lauren’s happy-ever-after does come true, we hope that, on the outside, the reality lives up to the dream.…

Television star Anthea Turner has shocked fans after claiming to have used a medium to contact her sister, Ruth, who died when she was just 15. Anthea also said she was pre-warned by psychics that her former husband, Grant Bovey, would cheat. Anthea, 56, famed for her no-nonsense attitude, caused a stir last week when she admitted she’s been turning to the psychic world for years for guidance on her future and to reconnect with her past. She said: “I’ve always believed in life after death. Too many people have spoken to mediums who’ve brought them incredible messages from the other side.” A SPECIAL CONNECTION In the interview in Spirit & Destiny magazine, Anthea also claimed psychics have allowed her to communicate with her sister, Ruth, who had spina bifida…

She’s had a drama-fuelled pregnancy, which has been intensified by a very public and bitter battle with her estranged ex, Jeremy McConnell – who’s always claimed the baby isn’t his. And now pals tell us that Stephanie Davis, who had reportedly gone into labour when Closerwent to press, is trying to put her heartbreak behind her and prepare for life as a single parent. A source says: “It’s been a tough few months for Steph and she’s devastated that Jeremy doesn’t seem to want to get involved. She’s suffered a lot of turmoil but is determined to be strong for her baby and do the best she can.” The 23-year-old former Hollyoaks actress sparked concern over recent weeks following her uncharacteristic absence from social media, which fuelled reports she’d secretly…

‘Katie believes more babies could save their marriage’ She sent the rumour mill into overdrive that she was expecting her sixth child following an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On The Side earlier this month, when fans mistakenly thought Jordan had let slip she was pregnant. But the former glamour model – also known as Katie Price – shot down the rumours two days later by letting everyone know in her typically upfront manner that her period had arrived with a tampon selfie. However, insiders say Jordan, who has spoken openly about wanting to adopt, is determined to crack on with surrogacy plans to have twins by the end of the year. SEPARATE LIVES Closer reported last week how Kieran Hayler and Jordan – who is mum to Harvey,…

There are good reasons why 43-year-old mum-of-two Mel Atterbury refuses to take the Pill – the feeling of gloom is overwhelming, she bursts into tears regularly and often finds herself raging over trivial matters. Such is her determination not to put up with these debilitating side effects that, knowing her family was complete, she asked to be sterilised at the same time as she had a Caesarean with her second child. But, after being whisked into hospital for an emergency C-section, doctors couldn’t perform the operation. So began a long hunt for a suitable contraceptive. As a new mum, she didn’t want to go through another operation. Mel, a writer from London, explains: “At times I thought I was losing my mind when I was on the Pill. I started…

She sparked pregnancy rumours last week when she was spotted leaving a pre-natal clinic, and pals say an emotional Kim Kardashian has been looking into every option to make baby number three a possibility after struggling to get her marriage back on track with Kanye West. The 35-year-old reality star, who looked sombre and downcast as she left the Beverly Hills doctor’s office, has previously revealed how she may not be able to have another child naturally due to health complications – and Closer has reported how her sister Kourtney, 37, has even stepped in to offer herself as a surrogate. A HUGE RISK In her previous pregnancies, Kim suffered with pre-eclampsia and placenta accreta, both life-threatening conditions, which caused complications when she had North, three, and 13-month-old Saint. This…

The infamous love triangle in the CBB house in 2014 between Casey Batchelor, model Jasmine Waltz and Blue singer Lee Ryan had millions of viewers hooked. But it all ended in tears for Casey, 32, when Lee – after initially getting close to her – then confessed his love for Jasmine. Now Casey tells Closer that seeing Jasmine back on CBB in the midst of another triangle with Calum Best and Jamie O’Hara is tough to watch. She says: “Every time I tune into CBB, I get waves of anxiety. Boys like Lee can be such d**ks when they want to be. I am upset about the way Lee went about it. He got with me, then he got with Jasmine – but it was the way he did it…

Closer’s therapist Emma Kenny says: “Relationships end simply because they’re not working any more. Sometimes you can work through it together and sometimes you can’t – Brad and Angelina are a classic example of a couple who haven’t been able to. They now need to put their kids first and work together for the sake of their stability and happiness. The love was once there but, for whatever reason, it has become a war zone between them. But there are no winners unless they reconcile as co-parents; and I believe they should both have equal custody rights. There are two sides to every story and Angelina seems to be upset with the way that the media is responding to her. But, ultimately, the main thing is for them to…

Thomas Beatie stunned the world when he revealed he was pregnant in April 2008. The 42-year-old was born a girl, Tracy Lehuanani LaGondino, but began living as a man aged 23. He took male hormones – which he stopped taking during his pregnancy – but kept his female sex organs so he could start a family. Thomas has since gone on to have three children – Susan, eight, Austin, seven, and Jensen, six – using a sperm donor, and hopes to have a fourth child with his second wife Amber, 46. He tells Closer : “It was strange being pregnant; I developed curves. But I love being a father. We’re hoping our next attempt at pregnancy works – I’d love another daughter. No one should be denied the chance to…

“I WAKE AROUND 8AM and do my best to work out, then I have a swim and a steam, followed by a drink of lemon and Manuka honey. AT ABOUT 10AM, MY ASSISTANT ARRIVES WITH COFFEE. I’ll catch up on all of the award-nominated movies and documentaries and do research for interviews. I also do voiceovers. I CAN FORGET TO EAT LUNCH, which is bad, but I’m always on the go. THEN IT’S ON TO INTERVIEWS AND EVENTS. Being live is fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants stuff; you have no idea what people will say. I once interviewed Antonio Banderas live at an Oscars after-party. I asked him if he’d been at the ceremony, and he said: “No, I watched it at home in my jammies!” I’M IN THE LA STUDIO FOR…

She hit headlines for her raunchy behaviour on a night out in London with her girlfriends last week – where she performed a sexy lap dance and partied with an almost-nude hostess. Now insiders say that Perrie Edwards’ big night out may have been a reaction to finding out that ex-fiancé Zayn Malik, 24, was filming the music video to his latest single just a few miles down the road. A source reveals: “Perrie was really thrown when she found out how close Zayn was when he was filming the video. “ She was downing cocktails and really letting her hair down. She has found the breakup with Zayn very difficult and was overheard talking about him during the evening.” The Little Mix star, 23, opened up about her heartbreaking…

She seemed excited to debut her new romance with Burnley footballer Andre Gray, cosying up to him in a Snapchat video. But Leigh-Anne Pinnock has been left confused as Andre’s ex-girlfriend of six years has spoken out saying that she thought she was just “on a break” from the Premier League footballer. After seeing Leigh-Anne kissing and hugging Andre, 25, in the video, Andre’s ex is said to have been left heartbroken, and insiders say she even moved from London to Cheshire to be with him last year. A source says: “When she saw Andre was with Leigh-Anne, she was devastated. She didn’t realise their relationship had officially ended and she thought they could work things out. Leigh-Anne is confused and embarrassed about it all – and just wants to…

Fearne Cotton has always been known for her rock chick image: she’s got tattoos, is best friends with all the coolest bands and her father-in-law is none other than Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood. But rather than hanging out at the hottest parties, these days the 35-year-old admits she is much more likely to be chilling at home with her children. A CHANGED WOMAN Surprisingly, it was meeting her husband Jesse Wood, 40, son of guitarist Ronnie, that inspired her to settle down. The pair first met in Ibiza in 2011. They had their first child, Rex Rayne, in 2013, before tying the knot a year later. The following year, Fearne announced she was quitting her job as a radio presenter and that she was pregnant with her second child, Honey…

Whether it’s wilting salad, browning bananas or squishy tomatoes , we ’ re all guilty of chucking away food. And a new report has shown that, in the UK in 2015, we binned £13 billion worth of edible food – that averages at a staggering £470 per household. But it doesn’t have to be like this, according to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. The chef has devised a whole recipe book based on making delicious meals with the leftover ingredients in your kitchen. “Some of the most satisfying meals of my life have been created from almost nothing,” he says. “You can be just as creative with ingredients you’ve dabbled with already as with freshly-bought items.” • Extract from River Cottage Love Your Leftovers by Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall (£20, Bloomsbury) TOMATO & EGG…

I also receive £800 in Child Tax Credit and Child Benefit and £300 income support. Hazel’s cheerleading is £28 a month.

How does it feel to be back at work [Charley has been on maternity leave since last year after having son Bowie with her Emmerdale co-star Matthew Wolfenden]? It feels great. I’ve been busy since I got back and it’s been nice to get my teeth into something. It was a bit of a shock to the system at first, but I’ve got back into the swing of it quite quickly and it’s been fun. Do you miss Bowie now you’ve returned to Emmerdale ? A year is quite a long time to be off so it’s always going to be a bit of an adjustment, but Bowie has actually come in to work with me quite a few times,…

Charley Webb (whose real name is Charlotte) has been playing Debbie Dingle for 15 years, since she was 14-years-old. Acting must run in the family as her older bro Jamie Lomas played Jake Stone in EastEnders and is also Warren Fox in Hollyoaks (he also happens to be Kym Marsh’s ex).

‘Lauren is keen to marry Joey as soon as possible’ She was seen visiting Joey Morrison in prison again last week, and now Lauren Goodger has told pals she is willing to marry her criminal lover – even if it has to be in jail. The TOWIEstar, 30, sparked engagement rumours last month after sporting a diamond ring on her wedding finger on a night out with Joey’s family and friends. ‘LUCKY GIRL’ Sharing a snap on her Instagram page of the sparkler given to her by her jailbird boyfriend, Lauren gushed: “Love my beautiful diamond ring !” It followed an earlier picture of the white-gold band , which was captioned: “I’m a very lucky girl.” Opening up recently on Channel 5’s In Therapy about her hopes for the future…

CLOSER’S THERAPIST EMMA KENNY, SAYS: “Celebs turn to psychics as they’re often surrounded by “yes” people who don’t tell the truth. Many stars can be insecure and crave reassurance that things will be OK. When things go wrong, the “yes” people disappear and they don’t have a Plan B. They want to believe someone is looking after them. There are some amazing people in the world, but I believe 99.9% of people aren’t psychic and can’t speak for the dead. Plus, with everyone living their lives online, they seem to forget that people can Google you. Sometimes money would be better spent on therapy.”…

She’s been a dedicated wife and mother to her footballer husband Wayne and their sons – but last week Coleen Rooney’s world was turned upside down once again after a new sex scandal threatened to rock their happiness. Sources say Coleen, 30 – who is mum to Kai, seven, Klay, three, and 11-month-old Kit – has been left devastated by rumours that former prostitute Jenny Thompson, who claimed to have slept with Wayne several times in 2010, has spilled sordid details of their alleged affair on the new series of Ex On The Beach. INTIMATE DETAILS And now, according to Geordie Shore newcomer and EOTB star Zahida Allen, Jenny, 26, has told her cast mates intimate details about Wayne’s manhood, leaving the MTV show’s producers unsure about broadcasting the racy…

‘A lot of people think I’m confident – it’s just an act’ She’s been thrust back into the headlines after her ex-husband Jamie O’Hara was seen cosying up to Nicola McLean in the Celebrity Big Brother house – and now Danielle Lloyd has revealed that even though she’s turning over a new leaf with her fiancé Michael O’Neill, she used to turn to drink and drugs in the past to cope with her problems. Despite rising to fame after being crowned as Miss Great Britain in 2006, Danielle has had a difficult youth, suffering bullying, violent relationships, then hitting the headlines after she was accused of being racist towards Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty in Big Brother, aged 22. In an upcoming interview on Channel 5 show In Therapy, the former…

She sported a huge rock as she presented E!’s Countdown To The Red Carpet for last’s week’s Golden Globes, and sources say “momager” Kris Jenner has been on cloud nine after 36-year-old toyboy Corey Gamble popped the question on New Year’s Eve. A source says: “Kris was ecstatic when Corey proposed during a romantic meal and said, after everything that’s happened over the past few months, it was good to end the year on a high. She immediately told friends and family, but she didn’t want to gush publicly, given what the family has been through recently.” Kris, 61, has been dating music manager Corey since her divorce from ex-husband Bruce – now Caitlyn – in 2014, after 22 years of marriage. And now insiders say Kris wants to have…

After meeting at an Ed Sheeran gig a few years ago in Dublin and becoming friends, comedian Chris Ramsey says his pals Jedward (John and Edward Grimes) are going to win. Chris laughs: “Jedward are so much fun and come across on TV exactly as they do in real life. They’ve got a massive online following and they are so entertaining. They have a really good sense of humour, and there’s something really lovable about their naivety. “We still message each other on Twitter now and then. I wish them all the best, and from people’s reactions so far, I’d say they were sure to win the show.”…

Dr Christian Jessen says: “When it comes to children exercising as regularly as Ethan and Sanali do, I’m not too worried about their physical health, although sticking to such a restrictive diet isn’t ideal. Children have different energy needs to adults, so they do benefit from some sugar and carbs. “But emotionally, such a rigid regime is worrying – it may well lead to body dysmorphia, eating disorders or rebelling against being so controlled. It may also lead to alienation from their peers and them missing out on having an enjoyable childhood.”…

After being seen out with a slightly rounded tummy last week, speculation was rife that human right’s lawyer Amal Clooney was pregnant with her first child. She arrived at a screening of The White Helmets with her husband of two years, Hollywood star George, in an uncharacteristically loose dress that seemed to show a little bump. George, 55, has previously admitted that he’d love to start a family with Amal, 38, saying in 2015: “Yes [we are interested in having kids], but we’re taking our time.” And last year it was reported that builders were told to create the “perfect family home” when the couple renovated their 17th century mansion in Oxfordshire. A source says: “George and Amal are so happy at the moment and their inner circle wouldn’t be…

While her Little Mix bandmates have colourful love lives, Jade Thirlwall seems to be as loved-up and as happy as ever. The petite 24-year-old celebrated her one-year anniversary with The Struts bassist Jed Elliott, 25, while they were on holiday last week – the couple posted Instagram snaps of them frolicking in the Indian Ocean and sipping drinks in a hotel’s rooftop jacuzzi. The pair began dating after they were introduced through bandmate Jesy Nelson’s then-boyfriend Jake Roche, with Jade admitting it was “love at first sight.” And while she says she knows nothing about rock music, she’s admitted she loves dating a rock star. However, their hectic careers mean the couple have had a long-distance relationship. Over the past year, they’ve flown across the world to spend time together,…

‘Music is my outlet – I’m in a good place’ After a very public break-up from ex-Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, Professor Green has turned a corner professionally and personally. With a new single, and a job presenting TV show Lip Sync Battle UK, the recently divorced rapper believes his new romance with model Fae Williams is the “real deal.” Following his split from Millie, 27, Professor Green, 33 – real name Stephen Manderson – was linked to a number of women, but he insists his “dates” – including TV presenters Laura Whitmore, Vogue Williams and Gizzi Erksine – were just good mates. “I try not to pay any attention to the comments,” says Pro Green. “It’s so funny that it’s 2017 and I’m not allowed to have a…

Anne Atkinson spent 17 years as a primary school teacher and was used to having to dress conservatively. But once she retired, aged 62, she shed her prim and proper image by becoming a glamour model. The 64-year-old has starred in several saucy shoots and her husband of four years – Terry, 61, who runs a cleaning business – couldn’t be prouder. Size 10 Anne, from Preston, says: “I loved teaching but I’d always wanted to try glamour modelling. I started modelling on the side. I’m a bit of an exhibitionist and the idea of posing for sexy shoots appealed. “Terry is very complimentary and makes me feel good about myself. Now I’ve done lots of nude shoots and it’s really boosted our sex life.” MODEL DREAM Anne – who’s…

1 I don’t have a strict skincare routine… and I know it’s terrible but sometimes I don’t take off my make-up before bed. I use Eve Lom cleanser in the shower in the morning, though. 2 Nude lipstick is my favourite… I always like to look like I’ve dipped my mouth in Tippex. My favourite lippie is Fleshpot by MAC – it’s the perfect barely-there shade. 3 I’m the world’s worst eyeliner user… but I LOVE it! I like it to look like it’s left over from the night before. My favourite is Lord & Berry as it has a slick and shiny finish. 4 I don’t wear much foundation if I’m not working… but if I do I use Charlotte Tilbury Soft Focus Wonder. I assume it’s made from…

THE MOVES Faye, 29, attempts an hour of exercise every day to maintain her toned size 8 figure. She tries to cram in a workout in the morning and will do skipping, jogging or weights. Faye also does Bikram yoga three times a week to help strengthen her muscles. She explains: “I prefer to exercise in the mornings, and I sleep for eight hours so that I have the energy to work out the next day.” THE FOODS She may be busy playing Corrie’s Kate Connor, but Faye reveals the work canteen serves up super healthy dishes. She says: “It’s great because they have a salad bar, fresh vegetables and lots of options if you have any intolerances.” Typically, breakfast is scrambled eggs with avocado, while lunch is a veg…

RELATIONSHIP EXPERT DR PAM SPURR SAYS: “Women are generally attracted to men in prison for one of two reasons: they like the risk element and the feeling of danger in their lives; or they feel that the man has been hard done by and want to look after him. In Lauren’s case it could well be either of those situations. Unfortunately these relationships are more likely to fail. Often there’s huge pressure from friends and family to break up with the prisoner as they don’t think it’s a suitable relationship. Equally, much like a long-distance romance, the reality of living together once on the outside rarely matches up to their expectations, and they often come to realise they have little in common.” • Follow Dr Pam Spurr on Twitter @DrPamSpurr…

KENDALL JENNER, 21 The supermodel claims to be psychic and has said: “I’ve even actually been told by like seven psychics that I’M psychic!” BRAD PITT, 53 While married to Jennifer Aniston, psychic Ron Bard allegedly told Brad that he’d “meet someone special who’d change his life.” GEMMA COLLINS, 35 It was reported a psychic reading led to her decision to quit TOWIE in 2015. Gemma also claims to have the gift herself. LADY GAGA, 30 The singer reportedly thought she was being stalked on tour by a ghost called Ryan and held a séance to tell him to go away.

She’s a global fashion icon in her own right, but Posh has been forced to dodge questions regarding her alleged plastic surgery since the ’90s. And in a feature titled “What I Wish I’d Known” – written for a recent issue of Vogue – Posh reveals her regret at undergoing a breast augmentation. In a letter addressed to her 18-year-old self, Posh, now 42, writes: “I should probably say, don’t mess with your boobs. All those years I denied it – stupid. A sign of insecurity. Just celebrate what you’ve got.” Tongues started wagging when the former Spice Girl – who had a noticeably smaller chest when she first found fame – was suddenly pictured with much perkier, fuller breasts in 1999. She had reportedly gone from a 34A to…

Holly says: “I’ve never wanted children, but was told I’d change my mind. I went on the Pill in my teens – and for over a decade, I dealt with nausea, vomiting, headaches, mood swings, skin problems, and bleeding every day for months. It was horrendous. “I first asked for a sterilisation in my mid-20s, because the only pill that worked for me was so high-dose it put me at risk of fatal blood clots. It was a huge four-year battle to get the NHS to listen, but I finally had my tubes tied at the age of 30, and I couldn’t wait to stop taking the Pill. All the side effects disappeared and I feel better than I have in years. I have no regrets, I know I never…

They shocked Hollywood with their acrimonious split last year, but it appeared the A-list were backing Brad Pitt over his ex Angelina Jolie after he received a huge cheer of support at the Golden Globes last week. Now insiders tell Closer that more stars in the entertainment industry have started to view Brad as the victim in the highly publicised split. Angelina, 41, filed for divorce last September, citing irreconcilable differences and signalling the end of Hollywood’s most powerful couple. But despite announcing last week that they’ve agreed to settle the divorce privately, the split has been dogged by reports of bitter infighting, explosive allegations and a fierce custody battle over their six children. An insider tells us: “Angelina was surprised to find out that Brad was attending the Golden…

She’s not had an easy time over the past 10 years, with a marriage break-down and health problems that led to a recent major operation. But 47-year-old Loose Women presenter Andrea McLean – who looks in better shape than ever after losing a stone – credits her partner of three years Nick Feeney for helping her through it. Andrea has already been married twice, firstly to Nick Green – with whom she had son Finlay, now 15, and, in 2009, she wed builder Steve Toms. They had daughter Amy, now 10, but split at the end of 2012. In an exclusive interview with Closer, she says: “At the moment things are fine – and I don’t want to become the Elizabeth Taylor or the Zsa Zsa Gabor of my family!…

Dr Sarah Jarvis, clinical consultant at Patient.co.uk, says: “While transgender people clearly need support from the NHS, it only has so much money in terms of funding IVF. There are strict restrictions on people who are eligible for IVF, for example a woman whose partner has a child from a previous relationship usually wouldn’t be able to have the treatment. It may seem unfair, but the NHS has limited resources and the restrictions are in place for a reason.”…

£62 On a James Bond poster from eBay. I’ve got them all now, having had a fascination with 007 since I was child. £326 On a vintage watch from an online auction – I just love browsing. £1.50 On a packet of biscuits – they’re a treat after awards season starts! £40 For a Molecules fragrance from Harvey Nichols.

It’s going to be expensive!…

NANCY SHEVELL, 57 Power walking & veggie diet At 57, Nancy Shevell has an age-defying figure with toned limbs and a slim waist – and could have her husband Paul McCartney to thank. The former meat-loving businesswoman, who showed off her fab figure in St Barts recently, overhauled her diet and became vegetarian a few months after she began dating Paul, who’s a vegan, in 2007. She swapped her “beloved steaks” for avocado sandwiches and tomato soups, and had a veggie meal and vegan cake at their wedding in 2011. Nancy and Paul also share a love of working out – they’re regularly photographed power walking through the streets of New York and even had a joint gym session just a few hours before they got married. Nancy also has…

When her engagement ended two months ago, Little Mix star Jesy Nelson didn’t waste any time moving on – and it now appears her ex Jake Roche has followed suit, a move pals say has touched a nerve with the singer. Reports surfaced last week that the Rixton frontman, 24, has grown close to former The Voice contestant Vicki Gordon, after meeting her at his dad Shane Richie’s pantomime last month. But pals say Jesy, 25 – who’s rumoured to be dating businessman Bradley Churchill, a good friend of Perrie Edwards’ rumoured new man, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – thinks it may be a rebound fling. A source says: “Jesy spoke to Jake before Christmas and he still seemed cut up about their split, admitting he still loved her. “He was questioning…

EMMA: You’ve had so much happen in your life, tell me about it... AUSTIN: I’ve been through a lot considering I’m only 28. My brother, Tyler, died four years ago and then, just six weeks later, my mother was sent to prison for fraud. On top of that, my marriage broke down earlier this year. E: What happened to your brother? A: Growing up we were so close and then, at 18, he joined the army. We lost our cousin in the 9/11 attacks, so Tyler went to fight on the frontline in Iraq. He was exposed to some horrendous scenes and developed post-traumatic stress disorder. When he returned home from one tour, his marriage broke down.

Women and girls often don’t have a name for their private parts and that’s worrying because if you can’t go to the doctors and say which bit of you hurts, you’re stuck before you’ve started. Let’s get it right – the vagina is the inside bit, the vulva is the outside, and it’s important to be able to say those words. Remember, for us doctors, it’s just another body part, like a toe or a knee. AVOID PERFUMED PRODUCTS Your vagina is self-cleaning, so you don’t need to wash with perfumed or specialist products. In fact, cleaning your vagina too much can cause infections – and that includes douching with water as your vagina has a very delicate pH balance of less than 4.5, and water has a too-high pH…

EASTENDERS DISASTER HITS THE SQUARE We’ve barely got over the traumatic demise of Ronnie and Roxy when ANOTHER disaster hits the Square this week – this time in the form of an “incident.” It’s pretty major stuff, though our lips have been sealed with gaffer tape and we couldn’t possibly reveal what’s going down. It all happens on Monday (23 Jan) and, on Tuesday, the situation descends into chaos with residents forced to deal with the fall-out – oh my… HOLLYOAKS CRAZY CAMERON STRIKES We all know how deranged Cameron is and, this week (after lots of build-up), it seems the penny finally drops for his missus Leela as well.
