Sommaire pour 6 June 2017 de Closer

If you have a sneaking suspicion that your phone’s controlling you rather than the other way around, you’re not alone. Shocking stats reveal we spend around nine hours a day online – almost two hours of that checking social media. Ironically, we’re too busy in our virtual life to enjoy our real one. Tech addiction can lead to a host of serious problems, such as fractured relationships, stress and insomnia. No one is suggesting we switch off entirely. The internet can be a force for good (PLEASE read our Yulin Dog Meat Festival report where online pressure has helped make a difference, but there’s more we can do). But if you fancy making healthy changes for you and your family, turn to p20 for our guide to digital detoxing.…

‘ SHE RINGS A BELL WHEN SHE WANTS A CUP OF TEA, SHOUTING ‘BUTLER’’ Kieran Hayler left viewers cringing last week in his “most awkward interview ever” as he opened up about his sex addiction and affairs on Loose Women alongside wife Katie Price. ‘DOORMAT’ Kieran – who was branded a “doormat” by viewers following his toe-curling chat in which he gave an insight into his role as a house husband – also used his appearance to take a swipe at the former glamour model’s alter-ego, Jordan. He referenced her recent string of wild nights out – including her drunken antics in Miami, where she was spotted cosying up to other men including DJ Tom Zanetti. She was also seen swigging from a vodka bottle in the back of her…

‘ STEPH MAKES EVERYONE FEEL SORRY FOR HER, BUT IT’S JEREMY I FEEL SORRY FOR’ Since they met on Celebrity Big Brother in 2016 they’ve endured cheating allegations, domestic abuse claims, rehab stints and even had a baby together. But despite their volatile relationship, Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell are giving their relationship another go for the sake of their five-month-old son Caben-Albi. However, last week saw yet another chaotic chapter. Steph sparked concern when she cryptically Tweeted a snap of herself with Caben captioned “so long guys.” Fans messaged her to ask if she was OK, others speculated she was going to America as she has plans to launch an acting career there. But fans’ panic was shortlived, as she was back online a few days later. It was…

‘ AFTER HAVING THREE CHILDREN, SHE'S PROUD OF HERSELF FOR SHAPING UP’ Splashing around in the waves on holiday in Barbados, a super-toned Coleen Rooney looked every inch the model mum. And insiders say size 8 Coleen, who is mum to Kai, seven, Klay, four, and 16-month-old Kit with footballer husband Wayne, 31, is relishing being back on peak form after losing 7lbs and dropping a dress size, thanks to a recent exercise and diet overhaul. A source says: “Coleen wanted to look amazing while she was in Barbados, so in the run-up to going away she really put in the work. She’s been going to the gym every day to do different classes, rather than her usual three times a week. She’s also working out with her personal trainer…

BIANCA GASCOIGNE ‘ Quick workouts are the key’ She overhauled her body at the beginning of the year, losing weight and toning up ahead of her stint in the CBB house, after saying she wanted to feel more confident in a bikini. And size 8 Bianca Gascoigne, 30 – who works long hours as the manager of a strip club – says: “My weight has always yo-yoed and it’s a lot harder to stay in shape when you’re working all night. My diet can be rubbish and it’s difficult to summon up the energy to go to the gym when you’ve been working late.” The model – who’s footballer Paul Gascoigne’s stepdaughter – swears by quick workouts, saying: “I do half an hour of cardio and then I’ll either work…

BRIDE-TO-BE DANIELLE: ‘I’d love Gary to be at my wedding!’ She flashed a huge rock as she headed to a gym session in LA last week, and pals have confirmed to Closer that Danielle Bux is engaged to lawyer boyfriend Nate Greenwald. But in an unconventional move, sources say she wants her ex-husband, Gary Lineker, to play a part in their wedding. The model, 37 – who’s already mum to daughter Ella, 14, from a previous relationship – has remained incredibly close to the former footballer, 56, since their split in January 2016 after six years of marriage . The friendly exes – who reportedly split over dad-of-four Gary’s refusal to have more children – are on such amicable terms that Danielle recently stayed with him at their marital home…

As she revealed what looked to be a tiny bump while out in London last week, fans speculated that Carey Mulligan could be expecting her second child. The Hollywood star, 32, who’s married to Mumford & Sons folk rocker Marcus Mumford – has a daughter, Evelyn Grace, one. Carey wore a baggy black silk top and black trousers as she was pictured with a hint of a bump while on a date with her musician husband. One fan wrote on an internet forum: “Aw, I think she’s pregnant again. Congratulations if so…” The pair, who have been married since April 2012, were childhood pen pals who lost touch then reconnected as adults. Carey, who had Evelyn in September 2015 and appeared on the red carpet just weeks afterwards to promote…

❛ OUR HOME TURNED INTO A BATTLEGROUND WITH ME FINDING WAYS TO LIMIT HER USE ❜ Single mum and trainee nurse Lisa McCall, 36, lives in Angus with son Aaron, 18, and daughter Leah, five. Her family was torn apart by her 16-year-old-daughter Chloe’s addiction to her smartphone. Lisa says: “I bought Chloe a Blackberry when she was 13 so she could keep in touch when she went out. At first, there weren’t any problems, but then her friends all got smartphones and she became fixated, constantly checking Facebook and Snapchat. She’d stay up all night chatting to friends and would be tired and bad-tempered the next day. Her school work suffered too, as she was exhausted and distracted. “I tried to reason with her and to ration when she…

Closer’s psychologist Emma Kenny explains why constantly checking our mobile phones causes stress. She says: “We get a rush of endorphins from receiving messages and notifications, which is dangerously addictive. And because we don’t want to miss out, we find ourselves constantly checking our phones and feeling compelled to reply immediately. This means we can’t switch off, leaving us feeling stressed and tired. Gaining ‘likes’ is also addictive as it gives us validation – but it’s not actually real. “Face-to-face interaction is important for intimacy and bonding. Being a present parent is vital, and if you’re distracted by your phone then you are inadvertently saying to your child that they aren’t your priority. “It’s important we all learn to experience pleasure from the ‘real’ world, such as dinner…

Amy Childs sparked a backlash last week for giving away her pet dog of three years because of her newborn baby. The former TOWIE star said that her bulldog Leo was “too big,” and “jealous” of five-week-old Polly, her daughter with boyfriend Bradley Wright. Amy, 26, said: “I have to put Polly first. The dog has gone to a lovely couple who are my good friends.” We asked well-known animal lovers Jodie Marsh and Nicola McLean for their views on Amy’s decision... JODIE: ‘ A pet is for life – whatever happens, youmake it work’ Former model Jodie Marsh, 38, says: “I really like Amy, but I completely share the outrage. A dog is not something you get for fun or as an accessory – they’re a member of…

She’s without question Love Island’s most successful star and, as the hit show returns for a third series, Olivia Buckland offers some advice to this year’s hopefuls. Olivia, 23, tells Closer : “My advice to them is don’t get too caught up in any drama or get too upset. I’m not one to talk though – I cried daily on Love Island ! But you don’t want to go home at the end of it and feel like you’ve not taken it all in or that you didn’t enjoy it.” And the star – who now has over one million Instagram followers and her own fashion collection – certainly did enjoy her time in the villa, especially as she met fiancé Alex Bowen, 25, on last year’s show and is…

‘I CRY A LOT – I CRAVE FOOD CONSTANTLY LIKE A DRUG ADDICT NEEDS A FIX’ Morbidly obese Monica Riley once dreamed of becoming the world’s fattest woman and ate over 10,000 calories a day. In 2014, the then 28-year-old ballooned to a whopping 50st in the bizarre hope she would end up bed-bound and rely on the care of her fiancé, warehouse worker Sid Riley, 26. Feeder Sid would even pour liquidised ice cream through a funnel in an effort to get as many calories into her as possible. But Monica, who’s now 16 weeks pregnant with her first child, is overhauling her lifestyle so she’ll have a healthy pregnancy and be a fit mum. Monica, who’s 5ft 11 and a size 30, says: “At one point in my…

1 KICK-START WITH EXFOLIATION To start my at-home pedi, I put on these gel-filled exfoliating socks – essentially a chemical peel for your feet – and left them to do their thing for an hour, before rinsing off. Over the next couple of days, the skin on my soles started to peel – a lot! After a week, I was amazed at how soft my skin felt. You’ll never want to hide your feet away again! 2 PREP NAILS After months of being bundled into thick socks and boots, my nails were in need of TLC. I applied a little of this strengthening oil over the nail after showering. Just a couple of days later, the wheat germ and vitamin E formula had left my nails and cuticles looking much…

FAMILY MATTERS HOW TO COPE AFTER A MISCARRIAGE One in six pregnancies ends in a miscarriage – if it happens to you, seek support and allow yourself to grieve Last November I suffered my fourth miscarriage. I’ve never been able to have children naturally – both my sons were conceived using fertility drugs [which stimulate egg production] – but when I saw those two pink lines appear, I felt like the luckiest woman alive. Nine weeks later, I bled; the beginning of the end for my baby and the dreams I had for him or her. Most people tell you that you can try again, and that something was probably wrong because nature knows best. But after a miscarriage, you don’t want another baby, you want that baby. The baby…

So what are you like as a coach? I hope the kids think of me as a big sister. They all make me smile when I see them. They are so enthusiastic and it’s amazing to be around them. But it’s so hard to say goodbye through the different stages, it breaks my heart a little bit. I have a team of 12. You have to be firm but fair, though… I do have to give them constructive criticism and tell them how they can improve, because that’s how you get better and learn. There’s so much I want to tell them because I really care about each and every one of them. I don’t want to let them down, but if they don’t get through I hope they feel…

‘ SHE FEELS HUMILIATED THAT DAVID HAS BEEN SEEN TALKING TO OTHER WOMEN’ Sporting his signature man bun and looking every inch the heartthrob in Cannes last week, David Beckham mingled with a number of A-listers at a string of high-profile parties without his wife, Victoria, who was at home in London looking after their children. But insiders reveal how pictures of the former footballer looking cosy with singer Rita Ora at the star-studded amfAR gala left Posh, 43, feeling hurt. OTHER WOMEN A source tells Closer : “Victoria was upset when she saw the photos of David and Rita together – especially given that Rita used to date David’s best pal Dave Gardner, who Victoria has blamed in the past for encouraging him to go on boys’ nights out.…

They’ve been on/off pals for 13 years, and last week Jordan and Kerry Katona were reunited at a charity football match, where they took on the role of managers. And insiders tell Closer they couldn’t wait to gossip about their growing broods. Jordan and Kerry, 36 – who each have five children – first met in 2004 on I’m A Celeb! , but fell out years later when Jordan called Kerry “a druggie.” But it was all water under the bridge in 2014, when they kissed and made up. A source says: “Kerry and Katie were excited to catch up. Kerry told Jordan she can’t wait to have her sixth baby with husband George and hopes to be pregnant by the end of the summer. Katie congratulated Kerry on her…

‘ MICHELLE MADE IT CLEAR IT’S EMBARRASSING SEEING PICTURES OF HIM PARTYING’ They’ve been hit by rumours of marital trouble in the past, but continued to put on a united front. Now insiders close to Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan say the couple’s marriage is still far from perfect. Mark, 30, was photographed just over a week ago with a group of girls in skimpy bikinis at an event in Marbella and pals say Michelle, who turned 30 last week, was upset by the pictures. A source says: “Michelle has had enough of seeing Mark partying with scantily-clad girls. She was upset after seeing the photos and her emotions have been all over the place. It seems like they’re almost leading separate lives – Michelle’s filming has been intense and…

She’s faced testing times over the past few months with husband Wayne coming under scrutiny for his recent reckless behaviour, but last week Coleen Rooney looked relaxed and refreshed on the family’s holiday to Barbados. Coleen – who gave birth to the couple’s third son only last year – showed off her phenomenal figure on the beach with Wayne and their three boys – Kai, seven, Klay, four, and 16-month-old Kit. And friends say that Coleen – who was initially said to have been “furious” over Wayne’s recent antics, including drunkenly gatecrashing a wedding and blowing £500k in a two-hour gambling session – has put the dramas behind them. A source says: “Wayne and Coleen are really loved-up at the moment. They’ve had their ups and downs and Coleen wasn’t…

She stunned fans at a gig last week when she told the crowd she was pregnant with her third child, proudly cradling her baby bump on stage in a revealing metallic and sequinned outfit. Charlotte Church, 31, received congratulatory cheers from the excited crowd at Birmingham Pride about her newest arrival, which is due in November – and admits she feels “brilliant” being pregnant third time around. COUNTRY LIVING In a rare interview in 2012, Charlotte, who’s mum to Ruby, nine, and Dexter, eight, with her ex-fiancé, rugby ace Gavin Henson, revealed she’d like to have a “couple more” children with Jonathan, who is an old family friend. A source says: “Charlotte’s thrilled to be pregnant again – she says she can’t wait to have a baby with Jonathan. She’s…

She’s been photographed in a series of loose-fitting outfits and even displayed a mystery bump at the Met Gala last month, and now rumours are rife that Rihanna may be expecting her first child. Fans have taken to social media to speculate whether the singer, 29, is pregnant – and, as Rihanna has been reportedly single since her split from rapper Drake, 30, last year, who the father could be. The Work singer has previously been linked to actor Leonardo DiCaprio and F1 star Lewis Hamilton – but her most high-profile relationship was with fellow singer Chris Brown. In 2009, the couple hit the headlines after it emerged that Chris, now 28, had beaten her in a row after a party. Shocking pictures emerged of her bruised face. But despite…

Recent surveys have shown the following: • Adults now spend an average of eight hours and 41 minutes a day online, while children spend an average of six and a half hours. • The average user logs 1.72 hours a day on social media. • Nearly 7 million Brits feel depressed after looking at friends’ social media feeds. • Nomophobia – the fear of being without your phone for even short periods – affects 66 per cent of adults. • 62 per cent of us admit to “hating” the amount of time we spend on our phones. • A new word for digital snubbing – “phubbing’ – has been coined to describe the effect of people ignoring each other in favour of their phones, with over two-thirds of people admitting…

She has millions of followers on Instagram, but singer Selena Gomez, 24, took a 90-day hiatus from the app last year to focus on her wellbeing. She said the detox gave her the “most refreshing, rejuvenating feeling” and now rarely uses her phone. Singer Ed Sheeran, 26, took a year-long break from social media back in 2015. He said: “I find myself seeing the world through a screen and not my eyes so I’m taking this opportunity… to travel the world and see everything I missed.” Actress Anne Hathaway, 34, took a month-long break from social media in January. She said the birth of her son Jonathan meant she’d learned: “There are no guarantees and we should celebrate and delight in each other now and not later.”…

It’s hard to understand why Caroline Flack hasn’t had more luck in love – she’s beautiful and bubbly with a career that’s seen her win Strictly in 2014 and host The X Factor in 2015. And Caroline, 37, tells Closer she’s back on the dating scene again with a new approach, revealing she went on a 12-month “relationship detox” last year after being in back-to-back relationships for years. GETTING OUT THERE In 2009, her rumoured romance with Prince Harry hit the headlines, and in 2011 she was widely criticised for her fling with the then 17-year-old Harry Styles, 14 years her junior. She was reportedly left heartbroken in 2014 when she split with music manager Jack Street amid claims he’d got close to Glee star Dianna Agron. Then, she thought…

‘ I wish all mums could have Tamara’s version of motherhood’ Tamara Ecclestone recently confessed she’d only ever spent six minutes away from her daughter Sophia, three, prior to her starting nursery and spent days crying her eyes out in the car after dropping her off. I’ve got a five-year-old son, Indi [with her ex, Argentine polo player Andrea Vianini], and I wish I’d only spent six minutes away from him, but it’s not possible. It’s unfair for a lot of mums, because it’s incredibly hard to balance things. Nowadays, women are expected to be the perfect mother and the ideal wife on top of juggling a job – it’s so unrealistic. Us working mums have no choice but to put our children with other people and carers, because we…

‘The moment we throw our hats is the scary bit!’ I’m at London’s famous Palladium for a rehearsal with Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden, TOWIE’s Elliott Wright, and former Royal Ballet dancer Wayne Sleep. After our chat, the men are heading off for a quick spray-tan, with Wayne wondering if he needs to have a “little trim.” What on earth is going on, you may ask? STANDING PROUD Twenty years ago this August, cult comedy-drama The Full Monty was released, and to mark this anniversary, ITV have assembled eight up-for-it stars to recreate the famous strip scene with help from Britain’s Got Talent winner, Diversity’s Ashley Banjo, 28, who will choreograph the dance. Standing proud on stage next to Matthew, Elliott and Wayne are McFly’s Harry Judd, former Olympic swimmer Mark Foster,…

RICKY GERVAIS: “It’s misleading to call Yulin a Dog Meat Festival. It should be called a Dog Torture Festival. Because that’s what it is.” GISELE BüNDCHEN: “It breaks my heart to see how much evil is out there, how can anyone torture and kill these loving and innocent creatures?” SIMON COWELL: “The horrific Yulin Dog Meat Festival makes me so sick. But unless we do something about this, it won’t stop. We have to act now to stop these disgusting events.”…

THE DINING ROOM IS MY FAVOURITE ROOM . The French doors open out to a little garden space, so it always feels sunny and light in there. I spend a lot of time working from home on my lifestyle blog and clothing site Bellasorella.co.uk, so I’ll usually set myself up in the dining room as it’s away from any distractions. But it’s a social space too and I’ll have friends round for dinner in there. I actually designed the couch [pictured, left] myself at Sofadesign.co.uk. It’s big and snuggly and it folds out into a bed for when I have guests. I MOVED INTO MY TERRACED HOUSE OVER FIVE YEARS AGO. I was a first-time buyer and had next to no money to decorate so I had to do everything…

Closer’s intrepid dater, Rebecca Twomey, discovers whether the proof is in the personality It’s OK to ad lib on your dating profile, right? Just like filters on my pictures, I put a “gloss effect” on my bio. I claim to enjoy running (the only run I do is for the night bus) and windsurfing (the one time I tried it I knocked myself out when the mast fell on me). But turns out I didn’t need to go that far. Dating site eHarmony found women who list reading The Hunger Games and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo as an interest had the biggest spike in popularity. Great, to find a man I only need to read two books and not run the risk of concussion. I updated my profile…

Elizabeth is pregnant. Is it Ross’ child?! I have my suspicions, although I couldn’t possibly say! I do think everyone should watch carefully when the child is born. If he’s got a little Ross-esque scar on his face, you’ll know who the father is! What do you do with your wads of steamy fan mail? It may surprise you to learn that I don’t get any saucy fan mail, or at least none that I see! Maybe it’s censored and I‘m only getting the nice, kind letters. I’m certainly not the recipient of anything rude or sexy. I seem to get a lot of sweets, which might suggest that people are trying to fatten me up! Oh, and replicas of the character in knitted form – little woollen models of…

Cheryl opted out of her usual appearance in Cannes last month and as Closer went to press she still hadn’t been seen in public since the arrival of her first child Bear in March. But insiders say Cheryl’s pal Posh has urged her to come out of hiding and embrace the public support. Cheryl, 33, has been laying low since she gave birth to her first child with boyfriend Liam Payne, 23, and pals say that Posh is gently persuading the star not to hibernate for too long and get back out in the public eye. A source says: “Victoria sent Cheryl a hamper of gifts when Bear arrived and she’s only just got around to sending out thank you notes, which sparked a series of messages between them. “Victoria…

She may have only given birth to her second child just six months ago – but Emily MacDonagh tells Closer she’s not ready to give up expanding her brood just yet. Emily, 27, who married Peter Andre in 2015, was already mum to Amelia, three, before little Theo came along last year. She’s also step-mum to Junior and Princess – Pete’s children with Katie Price – and won’t rule out having more children. She admits: “I originally thought I wouldn’t have any more, but I love them so much – so never say never!” And it sounds like father-of-four Pete, 43 – who let slip last month that he “absolutely does not want” any more children – might just be changing his mind, judging by how much he’s been cooing…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “It takes a confident partner who is really sure of their relationship to be able to cope with seeing other women all over their man. So I can understand why Mark’s job as a DJ could put his relationship with Michelle under strain – couples have social boundaries and seeing photos of him surrounded by bikini-clad girls must be a sore point – even if she knows it’s part of his work. It’s invading their private and intimate space and that’s difficult to deal with, even if you completely trust each other. They both have challenges – Mark also has to spend time away from Michelle while she’s filming on and off around different locations across the globe. Having a showbiz dynamic like…

LAUREN: ‘ I’ve been to four boot camps’ Lauren Goodger looks fantastic after vowing to get back her dream body at the start of the year. She has slimmed down to a size 10-12 by attending four different boot camps since January. Lauren, 30, who’s been dating jailbird Joey Morrison – who’s serving a 16-year sentence for drug-related offences – for over a year, brought out a weight-loss DVD in 2015. She dropped five dress sizes in eight months to get down to a size 8 for the release – but says staying fit isn’t easy. The star, who has regular protein shakes and uses a waist trainer – says: “I have boobs and a bum! I’m still working out – [I’ll always be] training and dieting… “I do go…

She’s already a devoted mum to one-year-old Arlo, and former TOWIE star Billi Mucklow has revealed she is pregnant again. The star was on holiday in Dubai with her footballer fiancé Andy Carroll when she shared a cute snap of her bump, captioned: “Suns Out Bump Out #BabyCarroll OnTheWay.” Billi had previously said she and Andy – who’ve been together since 2013 and got engaged the following year – wanted a “massive wedding” this summer, revealing: “I wanted to spend a few months enjoying Arlo as a baby before we started getting busy with wedding stuff.” It’s now thought the pair will postpone their wedding. Speaking about her first pregnancy, yoga teacher Billi, 28, said: “Your whole body shape changes and it took me a while to adapt to that,…

Technology overload can have a negative effect on our health and wellbeing, and digital detox expert Tanya Goodin – who runs retreats for those suffering from digital overload – says we can all benefit from taking a screen break. She reveals that cutting down on the amount of time we spend online can help us sleep better, feel happier and improve our relationships. Tanya explains: “Lots of my clients suffer from insomnia, stress, depression and relationship issues and the one thing they all have in common is their use of technology. When they start to cut back on their digital usage, their problems often improve. “Ideally, you should be looking at having two technology-free days each week. Also aim to set boundaries at home, so even when you’re not doing…

NAUGHTY ZARA LOSES HER CROWN Jaws dropped across the nation when Zara Holland performed some impromptu oral sex on new arrival Alex Bowen.

CRIED… The other day I watched a YouTube video showing someone from the army arrive back to surprise their family – those videos always really get to me.

At least I have a nice clean hob now. But, as you can probably tell, I’m very upset about it! WAS GENUINELY SURPRISED… When my eldest daughter Brooke, who is 11, sang On My Own from Les Misérables to me. She made us all face the other way as she…

JUST LANDED SUMMER BLUSH DIEGO DALLA PALMA SUNSET BOULEVARD BLUSH WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT? A multi-tonal powder blush made up of five different shades that can be blended all together for an instant pop of colour, or used individually if you want to change your look. WHY IT WORKS: Its gradual range of pinky powders means this new tint works well on most skin tones to create a natural flush without looking heavy. We swirled it on first thing in the morning and it stayed put all day to keep our complexion in check. It perked up our cheeks minus any tell-tale sparkle. GET THE LOOK... ALL THE GLOSS A shimmery pout can give the simplest of looks a glamorous spin, while being easier to wear than a rich, matte…

A huge new study has revealed that dodging gluten could do you more harm than good if you don’t have coeliac disease. It isn’t good for your heart, because you miss out on important whole grains. But heart-health aside, it’s unnecessary – and by restricting foods you’re perfectly able to digest, you risk missing out on nutrients. Only about 1 per cent of people in the UK have coeliac disease, but a third of us now avoid gluten. If you’re coeliac, a tiny amount of gluten damages the lining of your small intestine, causing nasty symptoms like diarrhoea, wind, constipation, nausea, tiredness, and ulcers. It’s not just feeling a bit bloated after a big meal and should be taken seriously. You can be sensitive to gluten, but talk to your…

Tired of seeing so much of your income going towards bills? We asked Simon McCulloch, director of Comparethemarket.com, Brian Davenport, owner of The Solar Centre, and Ed Kamm, UK managing director of First Utility, for some easy ways to cut back on your monthly household expenses… REDUCE WATER WASTE The average household spends £395 a year on water, but you can recoup loads by fixing dripping taps, which typically lose 5,500 litres a year. “Save approximately £118 by tightening all taps with a spanner,” says Brian. “Further money can be saved by using a cistern displacement device, which can reduce the amount of water used in your toilet by around 1 litre every flush, leading to big savings on your water bill. Devices are free from most water providers.” COMPARE…

How’s Aidan coping with having two women? He’s not coping at all, he’s now finding it very difficult! Has it been odd for you coming into work and having to snog two co-stars?

He’s completely shocked, especially as just beforehand he’s in the toilets with Maria. You’ve become a dad (to baby Willow), how is fatherhood treating you? She’s just over five months now.

We caught up with Eleanor Tomlinson, 25, who’s back as Poldark’s missus Demelza. She reveals: “Demelza develops a close friendship with the lovely Hugh, and you can understand why she’s tempted.
