Jordan enjoys being single about as much as a Love Island star likes an early night with a mug of cocoa. She’s admitted she always lines up the next man before jumping ship... so it’s no real surprise that Kieran’s barely managed to throw his stuff into bin liners, before his estranged wife has found a new man and declared to friends she may be expecting baby number six. Meanwhile, her close friend and fellow mum-of-five Kerry Katona has been single for eight months now (surely a record!) and has never felt or looked better or stronger. She’s been trying to persuade Jordan to join her man ban for a while, but so far her advice has fallen on deaf ears. After turning 40 recently, Jordan’s desperate to prove she’s…

She’s yo-yoed between a size 14 and a 22 over the years. But Gemma Collins – who was last week seen soaking up the sun in Marbella in a red swimsuit – has told pals that boyfriend James “Arg” Argent has made her feel more confident than ever about her size 18-20 curves. A source say, “Gem’s been body conscious in relationships in the past, but Arg makes her feel great. She’d wanted to get back down to a size 14, but Arg says he loves her curvier.” Gemma, 37, and Arg, 30 – who has also struggled with his weight – have endured a rocky on-off romance over the past six years. But after declaring their love for each other at Christmas, they have gone from strength to strength,…

THE TIME WE WAKE UP CAN VARY – with a five-month-old baby, it tends to be when she’s hungry! If it’s really early, I try to go back to sleep again, to get up around 6.30am-7am. I HAVE A BLACK COFFEE WHILE GETTING BELLE READY FOR NURSERY, and try to find some time to practise my yoga breathing before the school run. I’ll then grab breakfast – usually fruit and yoghurt, as anything too heavy makes me feel sluggish. I EXERCISE IN THE MORNING. That way, I stay motivated, and, with my work schedule, it’s easier to fit in a workout before I start anything else. LUNCH IS ON THE GO. But I try to pick a salad with lots of grains and veg, perhaps some salmon and avocado to help…

She’s previously spoken out against his politics, so Kim Kardashian raised eyebrows last week when she headed to the White House to meet with President Donald Trump about prison reform. The 37 year old – whose rapper husband Kanye West has expressed support for Trump in the past – is thought to have asked for prisoner Alice Johnson to be pardoned after hearing about her case. Alice, a 63-year-old grandmother is serving a life sentence for a first-time non-violent drug offence. Not surprisingly, fans reacted with shock at the odd pairing, with one commenting, “Trump has Tweeted to say that he and Kim Kardashian talked about sentencing. Next week he’ll be asking the cast of Jersey Shore about punctuation.” Another wrote, “Kim K and Trump in the White House? Now…

MICHELLE BLASTS MARK OVER FLIRTING WITH ‘BIKINI BABES’ Insiders say Michelle Keegan was not happy with husband Mark Wright’s behaviour during his brother’s recent stag do He relocated to Los Angeles last September to work as a presenter on entertainment news show Extra – and last week, Mark Wright was spotted enjoying some time off as he let his hair down celebrating his brother Josh’s stag do in Las Vegas. But insiders say his wife Michelle Keegan – who still lives in the UK – was left feeling hurt and angry after former TOWIE star Mark was spotted getting close to a bikini-clad waitress as he ordered drinks at a pool party held at the MGM Grand. A source reveals, “When Mark called Michelle to check in with her, she…

JACK: ‘I’ve cheated on past girlfriends’ AGE: 26 OCCUPATION: Sales manager \ CLAIM TO FAME: Pals with Casey Batchelor HE SAYS: “I’m clumsy, emotional and honest. I’ve cheated on past girlfriends, but that’s because I wasn’t with the right person. I’ve grown out of that now and, as I’m closer to 30, it would be nice to find someone I enjoy spending time with. I take grooming quite seriously and I have a habit of knocking drinks over people – bar staff, dates and my family.” DANI: ‘My dad will come on the show’ AGE: 21 OCCUPATION: Barmaid CLAIM TO FAME: Her dad is EastEnders actor Danny Dyer SHE SAYS: “If I make the final, my parents will come on the show.

BEING VEGAN: “I feel lighter. I feel healthier. My eyeballs are super-white. I love all the different things you can do with jackfruit. And tofu… [when] I need something that tastes like a chicken nugget or something.” TAKING TIME OFF: “I work a lot, and I party a lot too. You’ve got to reward yourself. But I’m so focused on myself and the things that I need to do to further develop my career in an artistic way.” BRITISH TV: “I love EastEnders ; fashion isn’t the same without Pat Butcher!”…

STYLE… “I’ve definitely improved thanks to my daughters. They’ve helped to show me what clothing styles suit me. I like to dress appropriately for my age, but also look fashionable.” SEXISM… “I definitely see how men don’t treat women with as much respect now I’m Kellie. I’ve had waiters talk down to me and that would never have happened before. It’s an eye opener.” LIVING ALONE… “I always say I want to find someone to share my life with, but I’m very set in my ways and I’m not sure I could live with someone else now.”…

They say summer bodies are created in winter, but if you fear you’ve left it too late to lose those extra pounds, don’t despair! There’s still plenty of time to make a real difference to how you look and feel, and it doesn’t have to be hard work. Closer’s dietitian, Juliette Kellow, has devised a wholesome and filling healthy eating plan that will help you drop a dress size in a month, without feeling hungry or deprived. “This plan includes delicious meals that you will want to eat, and yes, there are snacks and treats!” says Juliette.

It’s great to see so many greens in there, which are rich in folate and can help reduce tiredness. I’d swap egg white for whole eggs as the yolk is where most of the vitamins and minerals live. Plus, she should watch out for salty ingredients like halloumi –…

ALL ABOUT YOU DON’T LET WORRIES STEAL YOUR SLEEP A quarter of Brits can’t get an undisturbed night of shut-eye, and anxiety is the top cause. Emma explains how to drop off It’s hard to silence an anxious brain – it goes over conversations in minute detail, and obsesses over supposed mistakes made. That makes dropping off – and having restful sleep – incredibly hard and, as a result, each new day is even more exhausting, which increases anxiety and overthinking. If this sounds familiar, take heart, because it used to be for me too, but not any more. Even though I have a far busier and, to some degree, less secure job, I now sleep like a baby thanks to some strategies. First, de-clutter your bedroom; messy environments add…

1 POLDARK BACK WITH SERIES FOUR SUN 10 JUNE, 9PM, BBC1 Poldark’s back – cue the Aidan Turner hysteria starting up again. And yes, he does get his top off (barely two minutes in, happy days!). Sadly, it’s not enough to keep the wife interested, as Demelza still appears to be “beguiled” by another (yup, that handsome poet Hugh from the last series is hanging about some more). She insists there’s no further hanky-panky to be had but, well, there are eight episodes of this, so we beg to differ… FACTFILE Poldark has already been commissioned for a fifth series, though this is likely to be its last outing (wah!). Turn to page 37 for our chat with its stars. 2 THE POSH FROCK SHOP…

How come you’ve decided to introduce an over-50s line-up to the show? We did an OAP special for Text Santa five years ago. It was really popular and I really loved doing it, so we decided to do it as part of the Take Me Out tenth anniversary. Just because you’re over 50, it doesn’t mean that you can’t find love or meet somebody! Do you think it’s harder to find love when you’re older? When I was younger, that process of going out and meeting someone – taking their number, ringing their house and thinking, “Please don’t let their dad pick up the phone!” – all that’s gone. Everyone’s swiping on Tinder and using dating apps now. How do the older contestants compare to the younger group? When we…

She’s hit the headlines over the years thanks to her yo-yoing weight, drug issues and a series of roller-coaster romances. But since splitting from third husband George Kay last June, Kerry Katona has transformed her life – shedding 2st and focusing on time with her kids rather than a new romance. And showcasing her abs as she worked up a sweat in a park last week, the mum of five – who has Molly, 16, and Lilly-Sue, 15, with first husband Brian McFadden; Heidi, ten, and Max, nine, with ex Mark Croft; and Dylan-Jorge, three, with George – has told pals she’s at last found the happiness she’s always craved. BAD HABITS A pal reveals, “Kerry says this is the longest she’s ever been single and she’s much happier now…

‘SHE’S TERRIFIED HE’S NOT AS KEEN TO SETTLE DOWN AS SHE IS’ Lauren Goodger looked as though she was finally set for her fairytale ending with on-off boyfriend Joey Morrison after he was granted temporary release from prison last month – allowing the pair to finally meet up and spend time together. As Closer went to press, Joey had not been spotted out with Lauren, but his sister Charlotte had been putting pictures of him on social media. She posted a photo of the pair FaceTiming, along with the caption, “&&&& he’s home.” While later that day, Lauren – who set up a joint business with the criminal last year and was recently spotted with a personalised “JOEY” number plate – teased fans that she was set to spend a…

Last week, a mummy blogger left Instagram after being criticised for “exploiting” her kids by posting pictures of them. It’s unfair to judge or criticise someone else’s parenting choices when you don’t know their circumstances – it’s hard enough just being a mum. It’s a very personal choice and there’s no one way of doing things. I made the decision not to post pictures of my children’s faces very early on. I knew I wanted to keep my family separate from my public life and let them make the decision for themselves when they’re old enough.…

She’s made no secret of her devotion to lip fillers after first plumping her pout aged just 17. But Kylie Jenner sparked concern among fans when she was pictured with a shockingly puffy face last week. The 20 year old – who had daughter Stormi in February – looked noticeably different when she walked the red carpet at the Met Gala just four weeks ago. One fan commented, “Omg, what has she done to her face?” While another added, “Too much plastic surgery.” And surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe tells Closer that Kylie’s face is now out of proportion. He says, “Kylie looks as though she’s had too much filler in her cheeks, lips and above her eyebrows. As a result, her cheeks are now alarmingly wide and her eyes appear sunken.…

Working as a cleaner in her local college for up to 20 hours a day, Sara* never got a single penny for her efforts – it all went to her traffickers. She worked in full sight of teachers, students and staff, but nobody knew her plight. Her traffickers had threatened to kill her and her children, who were living in her native country, if she told anyone. Sara said, “As a mother, how could I ever forgive myself, if I saw my children killed?” So, instead, she worked and slept in an empty storeroom in the college. It was only with the help of a friend that she was able to escape and was moved to a safe house by The Salvation Army. She’s now urging other vulnerable people to…

❛SHE HOPES THAT, THIS TIME AROUND, SHE HAS FINALLY FOUND HER SOUL MATE❜ She’s endured her fair share of failed romances and, earlier this year, admitted she had suffered a nervous breakdown following her devastating split from fiancé Joshua Sasse in February 2017. But, last week, a smitten Kylie Minogue proved she’d moved on from her heartbreak at her glitzy 50th birthday bash as she went public with new man Paul Solomons – and even posted a snap of herself embracing the 43-year-old creative director of GQ magazine with a steamy kiss. But insiders say that while pals are thrilled the singer – who credits sunblock and a “good dermatologist for her youthful looks, as well as a low GI diet – has a smile back on her face, they…

‘I believe you can fall in love after two months’ Her love life has been anything but simple, after suffering painful cheating claims, being branded a cougar and, more recently, raising eyebrows when she announced her engagement to serial reality star Andrew Brady, 27, after a whirlwind three-month romance. But when Closer catches up with Caroline Flack – who’s previously been linked to Harry Styles and Prince Harry – she can’t hide her happiness. The presenter refers to her “boyfriend” within minutes of us meeting, detailing how he’s joined her in Mallorca for the launch of the fourth series of Love Island, which she hosts. INSTANT CONNECTION Raising her glass of prosecco for a toast, Caroline, 38, beams, “I’m very happy. It would be weird if I wasn’t. It [the…

1 The Love Island villa is stocked with 200 condoms, and there are 70 cameras to capture all the action – including one under water! 2 All the cast have STI checks before entering the villa, as well as a full medical assessment, including psychological testing. 3 The last series was accused of glamourising smoking and received a high number of complaints via Ofcom. This time around, the cast can no longer puff collectively, and instead have a small smoking spot outside the villa. 4 It takes eight weeks to get the villa show-ready, with the infamous outside space taking a backstage crew three weeks to construct. 5 The villa is surrounded by security, who regularly patrol the area. They’re also obsessed with everyone using hand sanitiser to prevent the…

Any Made In Chelsea fan will recognise Lucy Watson’s beloved pooch, Digby, a German Spitz-Klein. But the reality star is now backing a petition that calls for a ban on the sale of puppies by third-party dealers and pet shops – much like the shop Digby came from. Last week, a record number of people signed a petition demanding a ban on selling puppies in this way. The campaign – dubbed “Lucy’s Law”– has also been backed by Ricky Gervais and celebrity vet Marc Abraham. Lucy explains, “I was seduced into buying Digby from a pet shop, unaware that these businesses often acquire animals from puppy mills, where female dogs are kept constantly pregnant and forced to spend their lives in tiny cages. I’d never go back to a pet…

Eleanor Tomlinson, who plays the flame-haired Demelza, says, “Demelza is always in an 18-inch corset, but I’m used to it now – and I’ve got used to not eating carbs for lunch, because the last thing you want is to expand. It’s fine though – putting on the get-up is all part of becoming her.” As for the raunchy scenes with on-screen husband Ross Poldark (and bit on the side, Hugh Armitage – played by Josh Whitehouse), Eleanor, 26, adds, “Sex scenes are hilarious. We spend most of the time laughing, which is great.”…

‘I’m not in a rut like I was before’ She’s a pop star with two beautiful children and a rugby-player husband, but despite her apparently idyllic set-up, Una Healy admits that life isn’t always a walk in the park. Former Saturdays singer Una, 36, has suffered postnatal depression and anxiety in the past, and has always been refreshingly honest about her struggle with her mental health. And as she chats to Closer , it’s clear she’s also happy to be open about her relationship, admitting that she and husband Ben Foden, 32, have to work at keeping their marriage going strong. The couple tied the knot in 2012 in her native Ireland, before going on to have their children, daughter Aoife Belle, now five, and son Tadhg John, three. “Our…

‘ DON’T BE PUT OFF CANCER SCREENINGS’ After 450,000 women weren’t invited for mammograms due to an IT error, experts say screening is harmful. Dr C disagrees A group of experts wrote an open letter saying that mammograms can do more harm than good. They have a point, but it’s important women understand what that means. KNOW THE SYMPTOMS At a screening, breast tissue can sometimes hide a tumour, so your results could show that you’re cancer-free – it’s called a false negative. That’s why self-examination is so important. You are invited for a mammogram every three years between the ages of 50 and 70, so if you get a false negative, it’s only by keeping an eye out for symptoms that you may catch cancer early. In fact, 72…

HOW TO BAG A BUDGET-FRIENDLY FAMILY HOLIDAY Over 200,000 people have signed a petition asking the Government to ban travel firms from increasing prices during school breaks. Until then, here’s how to find an afforadable getaway for you and the kids Parents who take their children out of school in term time now face fines of up to £120 per child and potential prosecution.

She’s renowned for her svelte figure and rock-hard abs, so Lucy Mecklenburgh sparked pregnancy rumours last week when she appeared to sport a bump while out with boyfriend Ryan Thomas in Barcelona. One fan commented on a photo of the pair, “100% pregnant”. Another said, “Looks like there’s a baby bump.” Days later, the rumour mill went into overdrive again when Lucy, 26, posted an Instagram Live video of herself cooking, with one fan writing, “I love your bump.” Lucy – who’s previously dated former TOWIE stars Mark Wright and Mario Falcone and gymnast Louis Smith – recently opened up about Ryan, 33. She met the former Corrie star – who has daughter Scarlett, nine, with his ex, Tina O’Brien – on Bear Grylls’ show The Island last year. Speaking…

❛SOMETIMES HE REINS HER IN – BUT SHE KNOWS HE’S ONLY THINKING OF HER❜ She looked blissfully happy as she soaked up the sunshine in Greece with her boyfriend of three years Jeremy Parisi. And showcasing her figure in a white bikini, insiders say Kelly Brook has told pals she’s more body confident than ever in her size 14 curves. A source says, “Kelly says in her younger years she was always thinking about her body and worrying about how she looked, but Jeremy gives her real confidence and she feels great. She’s confident stripping down to a bikini because she knows he loves her body. She’s been slimmer in the past, but Jeremy says he loves her curvier.” Kelly had previously credited the Atkins low-carb diet for staying trim,…

❛SHE KNOWS SHE CAN’T GO ON LIVING LIKE THIS❜ Khloé Kardashian’s relationship with Tristan Thompson has been under a question mark since it was reported that he cheated on her with five other women, just days before she welcomed their daughter True in April. But insiders say Khloé, 33, is now contemplating her future without Tristan, 27, and she’s been leaning on momager Kris Jenner, 62, to help her devise a potential post-split plan. A source says, “Deep down, Khloé isn’t happy, and as much as she wants to make things work, she doesn’t know if she’ll be able to trust Tristan again. She feels uneasy every time she hears his phone ping, and finds herself wanting to question him about where he’s going all the time. She knows she…

She’s a doting mother to two sons from previous relationships, but Stacey Solomon reveals she isn’t planning a baby with boyfriend of almost two and a half years, Joe Swash. Stacey previously spoke about wanting to have a family with the TV presenter, admitting at the start of the year, “I definitely want more children and it does make me broody when I see people have babies.” The 28 year old – who’s a regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women and is also working on an upcoming clothing line – insists, “Realistically, I wouldn’t have a baby now, but I’m always broody. I love newborn babies, I love pregnant women and thinking ‘Aw, I love that feeling,’ but I couldn’t possibly have another baby right now, it’s just not on…

She’s already a mum to four boys, but last week Brigitte Nielsen revealed she was pregnant again at 54. Announcing the news on Instagram, the Danish-Italian actress – who has been married to her fifth husband, TV producer Mattia Dessi, since 2006 – proudly cradled her blossoming baby bump, writing alongside the tender a snap, “Family getting larger”. A second post saw the star – who is already mum to Raoul Meyer Jr, 23, Douglas Meyer, 25, Killian Gastineau, 28, and Julian Winding, 34 – pictured placing a protective hand over her bump, as she told her 101k followers, “Happy time, positive vibes”. Brigitte was previously married to Kasper Winding from 1983 to 1984, Sylvester Stallone from 1985 to 1987, Sebastian Copeland from 1990 to 1992 and Raoul Meyer from…

I’ve not seen Nathan Massey or Cara de la Hoyde since the show. I’m glad they’re back together. it’s amazing to think that Love Island really can create real love.”…

‘I get so much love from my British fans!’ He has sold over 150 million singles, worked with the likes of Demi Lovato and Snoop Dogg and counts Liam Payne and Shawn Mendes as close pals. In the UK, Jason Derulo has topped the charts with four smash-hit singles, including In My Head, Don’t Wanna Go Home and Talk Dirty.

‘I get hit on by younger men, but I wouldn’t date a toyboy’ She bravely revealed to the world four years ago that she was transitioning from famed boxing promoter Frank Maloney into a woman – undergoing full gender reassignment surgery a year later in 2015. But Kellie Maloney – who was married to wife Tracey for 15 years until their split in 2009 – tells Closer she’s had little luck in the dating world since transitioning, and describes herself as a “reincarnated virgin”. The 65 year old says, “When I had the final surgery, I felt a weight had been lifted and I was finally the real me. It really made me confident. But dating has still been tricky. Being so public about my transition, I feel it’s made…

They filmed smash-hit Jurassic World together three years ago, and now that Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt have reunited for the next installment of the trilogy, Bryce admits she couldn’t be happier. The actress, 37, who has two children – Theo, 11, and Beatrice, five – with her actor husband Seth Gabel, says working with 6ft 2 Chris has made her life easier at 5ft 7. “It’s awesome – Chris is the best!” she laughs. “He’s one of those happy, hilarious people. Plus, he is so tall, which is great because I am kind of tall, too! I’m used to slumping down next to the people that I work with so that it looks OK in the frame. It was great to be back with Chris and to stand…

If you grew up on lip gloss, you’ll know it can be tricky to master. More often than not, we were left with a sticky texture that attracted flyaway hairs, instead of the glass-like finish we were hoping for. But forget everything you thought you knew about the formula, because lacquered lips are back on the beauty radar!

MUST READ Days Of Wonder (KEITH STUART) Tom, a single father to Hannah, is the manager of a local theatre.
