At 57, Denise Welch has the kind of enviable figure you’d expect to put down to a long, healthy lifestyle. But as the mum-of-two freely admits in our chat on p58, her body has suffered years of “misuse” from her addictions to food and alcohol. The former Loose Woman and actress – who makes her EastEnders debut this week – has also struggled with depression, but says that as she prepares to turn 60 she’s never felt better thanks to a healthy-eating plan and having quit booze four years ago. She’s living proof that you don’t have to let your past control your future. LISA BURROW CLOSEREDITOR@CLOSERMAG.CO.UK…

On 5 May 2014, the marriage between superstar couple Beyoncé and Jay Z appeared to implode after footage was leaked of her sister Solange attacking Jay Z in a hotel lift, while his wife looked on passively. While the couple remained together, their relationship was further rocked by rumours that the multi-millionaire rapper had cheated on his wife with a string of famous faces including Rita Ora, Rihanna and stylist Rachel Roy. Rumours of Jay Z’s affair with the latter is what reportedly prompted Solange’s lift outburst. All the cheating rumours were fiercely denied. While Beyoncé, 34, and Jay, 46, defied the split rumours, they have stayed largely silent on the state of their marriage. But almost exactly two years to the day of the infamous “Liftgate” scandal, Beyoncé appeared…

Brooklyn Beckham appeared to confirm his relationship with Chloë Grace Moretz last week as he shared a sweet snap on his Instagram page of him draping his arm around her, just days after they were pictured looking loved-up on the streets of London. SEAL OF APPROVAL Now insiders tell Closer how Brooklyn’s decision to finally go public with the 19-year-old American actress comes after getting the seal of approval from his famous parents, Posh, 42, and David, 41, following a bonding session during their recent trip to LA. A source says: “Victoria and David like Chloë, but were a bit hesitant about the relationship at first as they knew it would draw a lot of attention. They feared it might be distracting for Brooklyn, who is interested in studying photography…

Sadie Frost has dated a string of toyboys – including male models and musicians over a decade younger than her – as well as being married to Jude Law, who is seven years her junior, for six years. But last week the 50-year-old former model revealed she’s ruled out dating anyone much younger again. Sadie – who is now in a relationship with Darren Strowger, 49 – revealed she’d given up on toyboys after finding it uncomfortable that her female pals check out the friends of her 25-year-old son, Finlay Munro Kemp. Sadie – who is also mum to Rafferty, 19, Iris, 15, and Rudy, 13 – said: “I would not date anyone under 45. My son is 25 and a lot of my friends fancy my son’s friends, but…

She’s best known for her witty one-liners and strong opinions in the hit C4 show Gogglebox, but bubbly brunette Scarlett Moffatt, 25, admits her sedentary lifestyle – including sitting on the sofa watching TV with her parents – has made her gain weight. She says: “I knew I was overweight but when I went to the doctor for a check up, she said: ‘You’re not overweight, you’re obese.’ I was really shocked; I almost cried. I could feel my cheeks burning up. She explained that my BMI was in the danger zone, I was ‘pre-diabetic,’ and that if I carried on the way I was, I could develop Type 2 diabetes. I’m only 25 and I’m annoyed I’ve let this happen.” UNHEALTHY DIET But 5ft Scarlett, who’s gone up to…

LONG LOST LIFESAVER Timing is everything – and for Lupe Villanueva, tracking down her long-lost brother Frank, now 55, couldn’t have come at a better time. Lupe, 56, was eight years old when she discovered she’d been adopted, but had always hoped to trace her birth family. A series of chance encounters over the years led Lupe, of Oxnard, California, to discover she had a brother living in the same town. When they were recently reunited, there was an even more emotional twist – he told her he was dying from kidney failure as he couldn’t find a donor match. She reveals: “I said: ‘I bet I’ll be a match. You can have one of my kidneys.’ I’d been waiting all my life to find a member of my biological…

Closer’s reporter Mel Fallowfield went along to see Chris and JoJo for some bedroom tips – all in the name of work! “I was slightly at a loss as to where to begin when I arrived for my session at their home. There are a host of things I know nothing about when it comes to sex – I’ve always found bondage confusing – but I have no real ‘problem’ area as such. “Normally Chris and JoJo’s clients will have specific areas to work on, so with me they took the lead and suggested ideas on how to spice up my sex life – making me feel at ease the whole time. They brought down an eye-watering array of sex toys and talked me through their various uses…

She’s had troubles over the years with her wild partying and weight gain, but now Mischa Barton says she’s feeling happier and sexier than ever. The British-born actress, 30 – who first hit our screens as Marissa Cooper in The O.C. in 2003 – was recently booted off US TV show Dancing With The Stars, but says the show was great for her figure. Speaking exclusively to Closer, she says: “The dancing was amazing exercise. I’ve also been working out and doing yoga because it takes a lot of strength to do dance moves with grace.” GETTING HEALTHY Mischa has struggled with yo-yo dieting in the past. After leaving The O.C., her weight gain hit the headlines when she went from a size 6 to a size 12. Speaking at…

With her glowing skin and trim figure, actress Kate Hudson, 37, looks every inch the star. And her new book Pretty Happy – Healthy Ways To Love Your Body (Harper Thorsons, £16.99) reveals the diet secrets behind Kate’s fab figure. “I’m not a fan of perfectionism,” she says. “I think it’s all about finding the balance between enjoying your life and being mindful when it comes to your overall well-being. Trends and fads come and go and are not a long-term solution. My baseline for eating is quite simple: as many whole foods as possible. My approach is balanced. Thanks to seeing a nutritionist, I learnt a few simple rules to keep me feeling good and my weight stable.” KATE’S TOP TIPS: EAT FREQUENTLY Make sure you eat five times…

“I work evenings in a bar, but I can’t increase my hours because it’s hard to get a babysitter for my two-year-old daughter, Lacey. I returned to the UK from Spain eight months ago after splitting from Lacey’s dad. So far I’ve been unable to claim benefits and, until I can sort that out, I’m managing on just £480 a month. My rent alone is £450, so I’m relying on my mum to cover the shortfall. Eventually, I should be entitled to child benefit, tax credits and housing benefit, but I don’t want to live on handouts forever. I would love to earn more money but it’s hard when childcare is so expensive. I would love to be able to think about saving money and buying my own home in…

Sadly, probably not. I recently got involved with a piece of research around laughter, in which 2,000 parents were questioned about what makes them happy. The results were very clear – parents feel happiest and laugh most when they are with their children. But, worryingly, most parents said that only happens once a day. There’s so much pressure on us to be super-mums, and this is more evidence that we need to give ourselves a break, get more balance and make sure we spend quality, fun time with our children. MAKE FAMILY TIME FUN! • PLAN IT Whether it’s a night in front of the telly or a trip out bowling, scheduling fun means you set the date and stick to your plans. It will make you all happier. •…

How do you calm yourself before going on stage? BAFTA is quite a nervy night because the audience is so star-studded, but doing it for this long helps because I kind of think – I’ll get through it! And obviously I have my glass of wine! Years ago when I was doing stand-up comedy I used to have little rituals – shoes I’d have to wear – but actually, the sooner you break those habits, the better for everyone, particularly yourself. You’re up for Best Entertainment Performance against Stephen Fry. How do you rate your chances? Here’s an interesting fact: Stephen Fry has never won a BAFTA. Isn’t that weird? It’s interesting the people who’ve slipped through the net. Ian McKellen is another one – what a loser! And Peter…

WE BOUGHT A ZOO TOUCHING FAMILY DRAMA SUN 8 MAY, 5.30PM, E4 Matt Damon stars as Benjamin Mee – a man coming to terms with the death of his wife. He decides to make a fresh start by buying a new house, except the house his young daughter picks out comes complete with a zoo. Despite some reservations, Benjamin and family move in and try to restore the knackered old place to its former glory. Easier said than done. Also starring Scarlett Johansson. PROMETHEUS SCARY ALIEN SHENANIGANS SAT 7 MAY, 9PM, C4 Charlize Theron, Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender (as a creepy robot) star in this prequel of sorts to Ridley Scott’s Alien films.

‘Emily feels Jordan’s been disrespectful’ She’s made a series of references to her ex since they called a truce in December, and last week Jordan made a sensational public confession that she’d still be with Peter Andre under different circumstances and “didn’t want to divorce” him. Speaking on Loose Women, Jordan, 37 – who married her third husband Kieran Hayler, 29, in 2013 – said: “I wanted to be with him. We’ve never spoken about it because certain people got involved… we would be together now.” CAUSING TENSION Now insiders say Jordan – real name Katie Price – who is mum to Junior, 10, and Princess, eight, with Pete and Jett, two, and Bunny, 21 months, with Kieran, has caused tension between Pete and his wife Emily MacDonagh. Pals reveal…

When Beyoncé’s album Lemonade was released last week, her lyrics alluded to a cheating spouse, sparking speculation she was finally reacting to continued infidelity rumours about husband Jay Z. One song includes the lines: “He only want me when I’m not there, better call Becky with the good hair,” Becky being slang for a Caucasian woman with straight hair. Rachel Roy – who was accused of an affair with Jay in 2014 – seemingly responded on Instagram, writing: “Good hair don’t care...” She later deleted the post and Tweeted: “I respect love, marriage, families and strength.” A source says: “Rachel regrets the post. She was fuming that Bey chose to target her. She also thought Bey was a total hypocrite for releasing an empowering song that lashed out and shamed…

They looked loved-up as they celebrated her 21st birthday last week and have been virtually inseparable during their seven-month relationship, but insiders say Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid’s romance has hit a bump after the singer heard Gigi’s mum and manager, Yolanda Foster, had warned her against getting engaged. As Closer recently reported, the model and former 1D star were preparing to move in together in LA, but now pals say Zayn has sped up their plans and wants to buy two luxury pads. A source says: “Zayn is planning to splash out £2m on homes in LA and London for him and Gigi. He knows that Yolanda is a big part of Gigi’s life, but when he heard she’d warned Gigi not to get engaged for at least a…

He was surrounded by beautiful models as he filmed a new whisky commercial last week on board a £30m luxury yacht in Miami – but insiders say Posh isn’t worried about the eye candy and is still able to keep a close eye on husband David. While Posh, 42, was in London working on her fashion empire, insiders say the designer keeps tabs on any women trying their luck with her husband of 16 years. A source says: “Victoria trusts David 100 per cent, but she is aware that women throw themselves at him left, right and centre. To put her mind at ease, she gets to take part in vetting which girls appear in his adverts. She’ll go through their CVs with David, and his team is aware that…

Radio host Vanessa Feltz, 54 – who is engaged to Ben Ofoedu, 43 – says: “I understand that Sadie doesn’t want to be copping off with someone younger than her own son, but you can’t rule out all younger blokes. When I first started seeing Ben – we were friends before we got together – I didn’t know his age for about nine months, and he looked so young I was scared to find out. I was 44 and he was 34, but I was worried that he could have been 24. When I found out Ben’s age, I was relieved I wasn’t technically old enough to be his mother! Sadie is 50, but I think she could go out with anyone from 35, or someone younger who is mature.…

Strolling hand in hand on the beach in Hawaii last week, on-off couple Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green looked more loved-up than ever, despite announcing their decision to separate last summer after 11 years together. And sources tell Closer the actress, 29 – who is pregnant with the couple’s third child and is already mum to Bodhi, three, and Noah, two – is having a change of heart thanks to her estranged spouse, 42, doing everything to win her back, including planning a babymoon to Hualalai, where they tied the knot in 2010. The insider reveals: “Brian made it clear he’d do whatever it took to get Megan back and she gave him a list of changes she wanted to see, including him working on his jealousy issues and…

Lorraine Glover, 42, was just 15 when her brother Ian died in the Hillsborough disaster. She tells Closer how her family struggled with their loss and the hideous slurs against fans. “We’ve been through hell,” she says. “Ian was just 20 when he died – he went to a football match with our brothers Joe and John and never came home. In a way, I lost two brothers that day – Joe was never the same. He was traumatised at not being able to save Ian, and died 10 years later in a work accident.” FAMILY TRAGEDY On the day of the disaster, Ian and Joe, then 23, went to the match together and were in the Leppings Lane stand, while older brother John, 27, had a ticket in a…

As Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic GBF (gay best friend) Stanford Blatch, he suffered as many dating nightmares as the rest of the Sex And The City characters. And despite the hit show ending in 2004 after six years, Willie Garson reveals his friendship with Sarah Jessica Parker is stronger than ever. Willie, 52, says: “I speak to Sarah almost every day; we always talk about how SATC is timeless. We’ve been friends since the ’80s – we met when we were set up together at a dinner party. I was more interested than she was, but we became inseparable. SATC was just another part of our lives together.” ON-SET FAMILY Willie would like to take the credit for convincing Sarah Jessica – who starred in several TV shows and films pre-SATC…

TRADE SECRETS… Does your kohl end up two inches below your lash lines by midday? Try the “sandbagging” technique and create a barrier beneath eye make-up to stop smudging in its tracks. Load loose powder over your under-eye concealer using a sponge – use lots of it! Once eye make-up is done, dust away the excess. Kim Kardashian’s make-up artist, Mario Dedivanovic, swears by it.

THE MOVES Tess, 47, reveals she refuses to put too much pressure on herself to stay in shape. She says: “Sweating in the gym feels like a punishment but I enjoy yoga, swimming and cycling.” To maintain her taut figure, the Strictly presenter ditches lifts for the stairs and even admits she moved her exercise bike into her lounge so she can work out in front of the TV. THE FOODS The mum-of-two has admitted she is obsessed with making sure her family get their five-a-day every day. Breakfast is porridge with blueberries, while lunch is usually salad with broccoli, garlic and toasted almonds, and dinner is something like fish and salad with a baked sweet potato. The star’s guilty pleasure is fish and chips, and she admits: “I can’t…

Where do you shop? Most of the time, when I’m home, it’s Whole Foods. I like to shop somewhere that has really good fresh, organic veg. I don’t spend much on grocery shopping; I spend more on going out for dinner. What’s your typical daily diet? I’m not a breakfast person; I don’t wake up thinking, “Eggs, yeah!” At lunchtime anything goes; pasta, fish or a hamburger. When I’m touring, I perform at dinner time and I can’t have a full belly when I go on stage, so I usually have fish and vegetables after the show. I snack on rice cakes with peanut butter and a sliced banana on top. I also freeze Greek yoghurt, with some blueberries and honey in there, and then it’s like ice cream. Anything…

Secret brainbox she may be, but Made In Chelsea’s Toff (real name: Georgia Toffolo, but only Mark-Francis calls her that) tells us being on the mega-hit reality series does have its downsides, namely it seems to put the men off. “I think I will always be that girl off Made In Chelsea, which makes it quite hard to date because I’m not just a normal person they’ve met,” says the 21-year-old when we catch up with her. “I find it quite hard to do the things I did before. You can’t relax as much – like I can’t go and get really drunk and sit in a corner because I’ve got people looking at me…” However, there are plus sides of being part of a (brill!) show that sees her…

...EXCEPT WHEN THEY’RE WORLDS APART…

She sensationally revealed last week that she’d never wanted to divorce Peter Andre, and now Jordan’s best pal Rylan Clark-Neal has said that even he has lost the thread of what’s going on in the mum-of-five’s increasingly friendly relationship with her ex-husband. Talking about the warring exes finally healing their seven-year feud earlier this year, Rylan, 27, tells Closer: “I don’t have a clue what’s going on; Katie and I haven’t had a catch-up for a couple of weeks. “We’re both hermits at the moment – I see her, Kieran and the kids as much as possible, but we’re both busy. It’s not wild nights out any more, more sitting on the sofa with a packet of M&S biscuits.” The pair have been friends since meeting on Jordan’s Signed By…

The past few years have seen Queen Bey’s crown begin to slip. Her Superbowl performance in February received a backlash after she used it to comment on racial tensions in America, and she’s come under fire for apparently Photoshopping her Instagram images to appear slimmer. Now pals say her new album is just the beginning of her plan to turn everything around. A source says: “Beyoncé is desperate for a big comeback. All the cheating claims caused her pain, but she’ll emerge strong and make millions out of what happened. She’s got a whole campaign planned including interviews, and a doc. She’ll be seen crying and letting the world know how vulnerable she can be, so that people warm to her. She’ll come back on top as the strong woman…

Kourtney Kardashian and Kylie Jenner looked sensational last week as they both flaunted their amazing bikini bodies. And sources tell Closer how the half-sisters have been embarking on a new workout for a flat belly with their trainer, Gunnar Peterson, using a range of exercises focusing on their abs, obliques and core muscles. The insider says: “Kourtney and Kylie have always been petite, but they’ve both struggled with toning their tummies. They’ve now blitzed them thanks to twice-daily workouts of sit-ups, planks and crunches. They also cut out salt, fizzy drinks and carbs from their diet for two weeks.” Mum-of-three Kourtney, 37, lost 3st after having her youngest child, Reign, in December 2014, while Kylie, 18, lost 2st last year after cutting out dairy and exercising regularly. A source adds:…

He made their relationship official last week when he shared their first coupled-up selfie on Instagram. Now pals say Louis Tomlinson was inspired to go public with his actress girlfriend Danielle Campbell after his 1D bandmate Liam Payne did the same with Cheryl. A source says: “Liam told Louis that he needs to be proud of his relationship and show the world how happy he is, and shared advice on coping with all the attention that comes with going public.” Louis, 24, welcomed baby Freddie – who he had with LA stylist Briana Jungwirth after a fling – in January, six weeks after he’d started dating Danielle, 21. A source says: “Louis was scared that thrusting Danielle into the media spotlight would scare her off, so this is a massive…

Former WAG Lizzie Cundy, 45 – who has sons Josh, 21, and James, 18, with her ex-husband, footballer Jason Cundy – says: “I agree with Sadie that there comes a time when you need to draw a line under relationships with much younger blokes. I do tend to attract younger men and I’ve dated loads of toyboys – when my marriage ended it was a boost to my confidence having these 20-somethings chat me up. But if I ever settle down again it would be with someone my own age. I adore my sons and I want to be with a man they can respect, rather than someone they can play PlayStation with. I know it would be awkward for them to see me with someone closer to their age,…

She’s been pictured flaunting a curvier figure on her Anti world tour, and reportedly didn’t touch any alcohol while partying at Coachella festival last month. Now insiders are speculating that 28-year-old Rihanna might be pregnant. It’s not known if the singer is in a relationship. She was spotted kissing Lothario Leonardo DiCaprio, 41, at a club in Paris earlier this year after the pair were first linked in December 2014, having reportedly shared a snog at Rihanna’s birthday party. An insider says: “Rihanna wasn’t seen smoking or drinking at Coachella, which is really unlike her. It left everyone wondering whether she’s pregnant, especially since she’s usually up for a party. She’s always wanted to be a young mum, so her inner circle wouldn’t at all surprised if she was expecting.”…

‘Trolls can’t bear a woman who is confident with her body’ She rarely bites back at online trolls, despite admitting that she’s bullied relentlessly over her super-toned physique. But Chloe Madeley finally lashed out on Twitter last week after a troll blasted her body because it isn’t “feminine,” when she shared a picture of her hard-earned six-pack on Instagram. The 28-year-old fitness fanatic regularly posts revealing selfies to show her body transformation from a slim size 10 to a buffed-up size 8. And speaking to Closer , she reveals that the bullying had become so bad she was being targeted “every single day,” which finally prompted her to speak out. DAMAGING COMMENTS Opening up to Closer , Chloe says: “I love my body. It’s taken a lot of hard work…

At a size 24 and weighing nearly 20st, Kelly Foster was convinced that losing weight would make her happy. Kelly, who’s 5ft 8, was so ashamed of her body, she hated going out and even felt resentful of her husband’s trim figure. So the mum-of-three from Stockport embarked on a diet and exercise plan. But although she lost over 8st, she was left with folds of saggy skin and felt worse than ever. Thankfully, last year, 34-year-old Kelly had an operation to remove the loose skin and has finally achieved her dream body. WEIGHT PROBLEMS Kelly, who’s now a size 12, says: “I thought that if I lost weight it would boost my confidence, but I was left with such awful saggy skin I actually felt worse; I was repulsed…

A denim skirt is great for a Cuban/ street mash-up – and a sassier alternative to hot pants. Shoulder-flashing always looks hot. Give a preppy print a street spin with a studded choker and J.Lo-esque hoops. A bomber jacket should be your summer essential; bright colours and prints will take yours to the next level. Show-stopping shoes are a brilliant outfit updater. Go for a textured sandal and mix with tracksuit tops, monochrome dresses and tougher jewellery. Statement earrings will give any outfit a bit of pizzazz. A clever shoulder-baring cut, slimming panels and 3/4 sleeves make this frock curve-friendly and fabulous. Curvy figures can pull off vertical stripes. Keep your bottom half plain with floaty skirts or stiff denim. Stand-out jewellery will catapult a look; pair bright colour flashes…

AGE: 57 HEIGHT: 5FT 4 WEIGHT: 9ST 12LBS DRESS SIZE: 12 It’s been six years since she stripped down to a bikini for a photo shoot and, although she’s bursting with energy off camera, Denise Welch admits she did have some last-minute wobbles about baring her flesh. The actress, who has battled alcohol abuse and depression and makes her debut appearance in the BBC’s EastEnders this week, explains: “I had a slight moment last night when I thought, ‘I must be mad to do this!’ But in all honesty, I want to embrace the fact that, after years of misuse, my body is still healthy and working. I’ve got a wrinkly tummy and cellulite, but I’m damn lucky that it’s in working order and I’m proud of it.” At 57,…

Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook goes against all your expectations.
