She’s got the life that many crave – fame, fortune and a handsome pop star boyfriend. It’s a life that Cheryl herself no doubt coveted as she started her career in 2002 – but the spotlight seems to have lost its appeal. As fears grow over her increasingly reclusive lifestyle with Liam, insiders reveal a picture of a woman who is only truly happy curled up at home with their dog, or with close friends and family. Meanwhile, Liam – 11 years her junior and at the height of his fame – is said to be missing the showbiz lifestyle. While they can’t close the age gap, they can open the door to compromise.

Perrie Edwards was left broken-hearted when Zayn Malik called time on their four-year engagement last summer, following a string of rumours he’d cheated on her several times. But a new hunk has finally put a smile back on the Little Mix singer’s face, as she was linked to The Musketeers’ actor Luke Pasqualino last week. Perrie, 22, and Luke, 26, enjoyed a romantic night out in London’s West End, where they were spotted watching musical Aladdin. They then headed off to exclusive club Mahiki in Mayfair. And now pals close to Perrie say they have already had three dates together, and believe the handsome actor could be boyfriend material. A source says: “Luke is everything Perrie craved from Zayn, and she’s finally ready to commit to a relationship for the…

Drama comes with the territory for Stephanie Davis and last week was no exception. During an appearance on Loose Women, she broke down in tears and revealed she’d had a terrifying emergency visit to hospital. TURBULENT TIME Speaking on the ITV show, Steph – who is four and a half months pregnant – revealed she’d been rushed to hospital with pains and initially thought she was going into early labour. Thankfully she revealed everything was “all fine,” but she was being monitored by doctors. She later cried on screen when she thanked her mum, Pauline, for her support over the past few turbulent months. The revelation came just a week after Steph – who is facing being a single mum as her ex Jeremy McConnell continues to deny he is…

A recent case the team helped crack was that of evil Richard Huckle, 30, (below) who is described as Britain’s worst paedophile. In June this year, he was given 22 life sentences after pleading guilty to 71 charges of sexual abuse against up to 200 children, ranging in age from six months to 12 years. He operated mainly in Malaysia and prosecutors discovered more than 20,000 photos of his victims. Fiona Jones*, 29, was one of the officers that worked on Huckle’s gruelling case. Fiona, who’s single, began working in child protection three years ago. Her job now is in the investigation team arresting suspects and trawling through their devices to find pictures of victims. At times she’ll work for nearly 40 hours at a stretch with only a two-hour…

They were recently rumoured to be secretly engaged – and now insiders say Renée Zellweger is happily planning her future with musician Doyle Bramhall. Renée, 47, is currently preparing to launch Bridget Jones’s Baby after spending months filming in London alongside Patrick Dempsey and Colin Firth, who play her love interests. A source says: “Doyle and Renée love spending time with each other and feel as though they’re permanently in a honeymoon phase of the relationship – Renée feels that everyone wants them to plan a massive celeb wedding now, but she’s said that if they tie the knot, it will be something small and intimate.” Renée has endured a notoriously tough love life, with a broken engagement to Jim Carrey, a fling with Jack White, a short-lived marriage to…

She reigns over social media with 81m followers on Instagram alone, but Kim Kardashian’s days of selfies may be numbered. The Kardashians are now reportedly being investigated by US authorities over the products they post on their personal accounts. SHOCKING CLAIMS The Truth In Advertising organisation (equivalent to the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority) claims Kim and her sisters, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie have failed to meet advertising rules by not disclosing to their combined 316m followers which posts are paid-for product promotions. Following the news, it’s been claimed the sisters have edited old Instagram captions to show they were sponsored. And pals say the drama has put the sisters into panic mode as they fear it could put brands off working with them. Last week one fan commented on…

Before Poldark came along, Aidan Turner played a moody vampire in BBC3’s Being Human. His brooding escapades (watched by 1.4 million of us) propelled him into three blockbuster Hobbit movies. His ex is Suspects star Lenora Crichlow, who he met on Being Human. They parted ways in 2011, which led to Aidan quitting the show. “I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had their heart broken,” the actor is quoted as saying. “It happened to me. Love is the purest and rawest thing we have in life.” Aidan went on to date Irish actress Sarah Greene for five years, separating a year ago. He says: “I like to keep my private life private. It’s important people don’t know too much about me because I’m trying to play characters.” In April, rumours…

CLAUDIA FRAGAPANE, 18, GYMNAST The youngest star jokes her dad’s banned her from men. ED BALLS, 49, FORMER LABOUR MP Ed is the first male politician to take part in Strictly. LAURA WHITMORE, 31, TV HOST The ex-MTV host will add some glamour to the series.

WHO WORE IT BEST? Tiffany Watson vs Chloe Lewis It’s every girl’s worst nightmare: turning up at the same event wearing the exact same outfit as someone else. So spare a thought for TOWIE’s Chloe and MIC’s Tiffany who did just that at the premiere of War Dogs this month. Tiff paired the elegant Novo London jumpsuit with a quirky clutch, while Chloe opted for gold accessories. VERDICT It’s a close call for the reality stars, but Chloe’s subtle gold-toned touches win it. HELL FOR LEATHER Mollie King, 29 The Saturdays star looked amazing as she launched her debut solo single last week. Showing off her toned legs in a pair of leather-look shorts, she accessorised with this season’s hottest jewellery trend: a choker. We love this edgier look on…

OLIVIA’S STYLE ESSENTIALS 1 “I wear red most of the time: I like a bright Essie nail polish.” 2 “I have a few mascara favourites but I love Triple Shot.” 3 “I like to add a polished element – like a lace top – to any look.” 4 “I stick to nude lips – I usually wear Christian Dior.” ‘I don’t worry too much about labels… I just go with what looks good on me. It doesn’t matter who made it, or the price. If it’s not flattering or doesn’t make you feel special when you wear it, then it’s really not worth being worn. I don’t leave the house until I’m fully prepared… I learned that from my mother – it doesn’t matter what time it is, you should…

SINGER KYLA, 32, TAKES OUR QUIZ… What is your biggest fear? Spiders – I’m petrified. What’s your worst habit? I talk way too much! When’s the last time you said “I love you”? To my two-year-old son, Haydn. He is my world. I say it to him 20 times a day. What animal would you be and why? A little dog or a rabbit, because they’re cute. Who was your first kiss? A guy called Stuart. We were probably around 13. Where is your happy place? My home in Huntingdon, which is 20 minutes away from Cambridge. What’s your earliest memory? Singing in front of my family at a party for the first time. I was seven. Describe yourself in three words... Chatty, happy, caring. • Follow Kyla @kylaofficial…

This looks like such a fun show to work on! It’s never felt like a job, y’know? I get excited to meet these people, especially with the kind of celebrities we have on the show – they’re not the celebs you see on the TV every day. These are people who were big stars when I was growing up, like Chesney Hawkes and people like that. It’s really interesting to meet them and see what they’ve been up to. Can you give us a sneak peek as to who the other celebs are in this new series? We had a couple of emotional days this year. There was Debbie McGee, who did the show soon after losing her husband, Paul Daniels. But she’s a wonderful woman and we had a…

She’s never been one to fully embrace the limelight, preferring to keep a low profile when she’s not promoting her work – be it her music, previous stints on X Factor or beauty endorsements. UNDER THE RADAR But last week, Cheryl’s fans shared their fears for the singer’s welfare, worrying that she’d “disappeared” from social media for 32 days – only coming out of hiding to announce the release of her latest fragrance. And reports claimed the star had only made 10 public appearances in three months. But as she prepares for a brief run of promotional work to launch her Stormflower Platinum scent – which she teased on Instagram last week – insiders hope her reclusive behaviour won’t take its toll on her six-month romance with 1D singer Liam…

She’s always had grand ambitions – from making it as a pop star to cracking America – but Jordan’s ego appeared to reach new heights last week when she announced she would charge fans £75 a ticket to see her on tour, promoting her latest autobiography Reborn. Fans were quick to react to the hefty price tag, which includes a two-course meal and a drink, but not the autobiography itself – with one fan commenting online: “I’d love to meet you again, shame I can’t afford to.” It’s a risky move for the mum-of-five as it comes less than a year after she was forced to cancel an online Q&A session after only selling 13 tickets. But pals fear 38-year-old Jordan – real name Katie Price – is so determined…

SHOCK STATS • One in 20 children in the UK have been sexually abused. • More than 90 per cent of children who are sexually abused are abused by someone they know. • Last year, more than 3,000 children were identified as needing protection from sexual abuse. • Child sex abuse costs the UK £3.2 billion a year. Mum-of-two Kelly Alleyne works in an ordinary-looking office block in south west London. But that’s the only thing ordinary about her work. Kelly’s in the thick of the fight against paedophiles, working for CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection), which is part of the National Crime Agency. Here, a team of nine people watch endless hours of videos and scrutinise thousands of images depicting the vilest sexual abuse against children in a…

They’ve been together on/off for five years, but insiders say Jennifer Lopez called time on her romance with her toyboy Casper Smart after he accused her of treating him like “part of the entourage.” J-Lo, 47 – mum to Max and Emme, eight, from her marriage to Marc Anthony – rowed with Casper after he came back from a boys’ weekend in Las Vegas. A source says: “Jen was looking forward to spending some time with Casper but he decided to go on the trip to Vegas rather than join her in The Hamptons. When she told him how selfish he was, he said he no longer wanted to feel he was ‘just part of her entourage.’ “He’s always struggled to live out their romance in the public eye and…

She’s gone to great lengths to keep her relationships private in the past, but Kylie Minogue’s boyfriend Joshua Sasse has opened up about their romance, describing being with her as “magic, it’s excitement and joy. And sex.” In a candid interview, Joshua, 28, said she “makes me feel like I’m alive every day” and went on to moan that “if a woman sleeps with lots of guys then she’s called a sl*t, and if a guy sleeps with all these girls, he is called a player.” But insiders say that despite 48-year-old Kylie’s family and close-knit team thinking him discussing sex was “tacky,” she loved his comments. A source says: “She was thrilled and thinks everything Joshua says is like poetry. Scratch the surface and she’s very insecure so she…

She’s Kylie Jenner’s best friend and housemate and regularly posts glamorous pictures online of them hanging out with their A-list pals. And Jordyn Woods – who’s also a close friend of the family and attended Kim Kardashian’s lavish Italian wedding to Kanye West in 2014 – has opened up about her relationship with Kylie and their picture-perfect lifestyle. Jordyn says: “My mum always says ‘I don’t know how you look good in every selfie’ but Kylie and I take 75 pictures to get one perfect selfie before we post it! Kim has never given me selfie secrets, but I’ve got this phone case that lights up my phone to make my selfies look better.” Size 16-18 Jordyn, 18, who works as a plus-size model and was signed up after an…

Doreen Pechey, 71, hit the headlines last week as Britain’s oldest ballerina, after passing The Royal Academy Of Dance’s Grade 6 exam. Doreen – who had knee replacement surgery two years ago – had always wanted to learn ballet, but couldn’t afford to take lessons as a child. The retired engineer finally began to realise her dream 10 years ago, when she took classes for the first time. Since then she’s dropped from a dress size 20 to a 12 and says she’s more flexible than ever. Another woman who sparked media attention last week for looking fabulous in her 70s is Denise Olive, 71 – who’s worked as a model for Marks & Spencer. She swears by healthy eating, frequent spa breaks and moisturising with Bio-Oil. Meanwhile, Joanna Lumley,…

When mum-of-four Lindsey Arp ended her four-year relationship with Ryan Haase, he took horrific revenge. Lindsey was left with third-degree burns when twisted Haase poured a pan of boiling cooking oil over her – leaving her blind in one eye and permanently scarred. NIGHTMARES Incredibly, Lindsey – who is speaking out about her hell for the first time – has managed to forgive Haase, who has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for attempted murder. Single Lindsey, 28, who lives in Tennessee, USA, with sons Malachi, 13, and Sylis, two – from different relationships – and daughters Rylynn, eight, and Brooklynn, six, with Haase, says: “The attack has had a huge impact on my life. I’ve suffered nightmares and had counselling. I can’t work as I’m still in recovery.…

She’s the envy of women all over the country because she gets to kiss Aidan as part of a day’s work. And actress Eleanor Tomlinson, 24, says being in Poldark is “the stuff dreams are made of.” Hell, she’s even happy to vomit for her craft, as she explains: “For one scene I was filming in a fishing boat and I got terribly seasick. The waves were insane so it was quite dangerous, but great fun. There’s not a lot I wouldn’t do for the sake of a scene and I think it worked. I hope it becomes an iconic scene as it was blooming freezing as well!” With (SPOILER ALERT!) Eleanor’s character Demelza falling pregnant this series, Eleanor adds: “The relationship between Eleanor and Ross is certainly very real.…

She’s battled breast cancer, chronic Crohn’s and a heart condition – but pop icon Anastacia says winning Strictly would be a dream come true after such an emotional journey. The brave 47-year-old US singer, who became a global star 15 years ago with power ballads I’m Outta Love and Left Outside Alone, underwent a double mastectomy three years ago after suffering two bouts of breast cancer. She was also diagnosed with Crohn’s, an inflammatory bowel disease, when she was just 13 years old; and discovered she had a rare condition that affected her heart rate at 39. Now Anastacia says she’s determined to rise above her difficult past and wow on the dance floor. She says: “My double mastectomy stripped away a part of me that I feel I would…

There’s very little that’s out of bounds for confident and charismatic presenter Anna Richardson. She’s fronted TV shows investigating everything from secret eating, age-defying cosmetic procedures and – most recently – naked dating. And when it comes to her relationship with Great British Bake Off host Sue Perkins, she won’t rule out having some healthy competition with her either. LOTS OF LAUGHTER Anna, 45, tells Closer: “We’ve taken up tennis lessons, but as soon as I concentrate too hard on my stroke I can see Sue p***ing herself laughing at the other end of the court, shouting: ‘You’re no Serena Williams, get over yourself!’ “We’re two women so we’re aware of our bodies and fitness levels, but it’s healthy competition. As we’re getting older, staying healthy is crucial for both…

When Ferne arrives at our shoot, she is brimming with confidence. Just four weeks ago, she revealed the results of a secret nose job to fix a bump she had spent years feeling insecure about – and she couldn’t be more thrilled. RIGHT DECISION “I’m really happy with it,” she smiles, gently touching her new nose. “It’s weird – it still feels a bit like it’s not really mine! But the results are subtle. I don’t look in the mirror and think: ‘Oh my God, I look totally different’ – and I was worried about feeling like that. I hate the plastic look.” But the 26-year-old TV presenter admits that after feeling insecure about her nose for as long as she can remember, the decision to go under the knife…

THE MOVES Following in the footsteps of Miranda Kerr and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, size 8 Margot is a huge fan of the Ballet Bodies class with US trainer Andie Hecker. Margot says: “Andie combines ballet techniques with a Pilates machine and weights.” THE FOODS The Aussie beauty starts the day with an immunity-boosting powder mixed with juice, followed by avocado and bacon on toast. Lunch is a grilled chicken salad and dinner is spaghetti Bolognese. Refreshingly, Margot says she refuses to diet and loves beer, chips and burgers. She explains: “I’m not going to look thin for the sake of it.” THE CHEAT The Suicide Squad actress, 26, recently confessed she’d rather get some extra sleep than spend an hour in the gym. If she doesn’t have time to go to…

Where do you shop? I usually do an online shop at Asda for about £100 a week for me, my husband Abdul and our children [Musa, nine; Dawud, eight; and Maryam, five]. What’s your typical daily diet? I usually start the day with a cup of tea and wholemeal toast with Marmite, but we go big at the weekend – on Saturdays we have pancakes with blueberries and yoghurt, and on Sundays we have a full English. Normally, lunch is something like grilled salmon salad. Dinner is a korma made with chicken thighs and boiled eggs; it’s my children’s favourite. We always have some sort of pudding, even if it’s just fruit salad with ice cream – but I’m always testing recipes. I snack on a green apple with peanut…

“I’ve been unemployed for 18 months and it’s really starting to get me down. I took out a £1,000 loan and joined a modelling and acting agency nine months ago, but I’ve only landed a few parts. “I love working as an extra but it doesn’t pay enough, so I need a part-time job, too. I’ve had interviews for jobs in catering and cleaning, but when they see I’m registered with a talent agency they’re put off as they assume I’ll need time away to audition etc. I could leave it off my CV, but I want to show that I haven’t been doing nothing for the past nine months. “I’m living with my parents at the moment so I can survive without an income, but at 28 I want…

Countless books suggest that male and female brains are wired differently, but scientifically this isn’t the case. We do have some pretty major behavioural differences, though. From day one girls and boys are immersed in gender stereotypes, so by the time we’re adults, we’ve been powerfully “programmed.” Boys are often told to contain their emotions and girls are advised to share them. Understanding our differences can create more harmonious relationships between the sexes, so here’s my guide... LEARN TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER • FACE ISSUES Men tend to argue in the moment, whereas women often overlook annoyances to keep the peace, but feel increasingly upset afterwards... until it all comes tumbling out at a later date. It’s far better to discuss problems as they arise. • COMMUNICATE MORE The vast…

You’ve done MasterChef , so you know all about pressure in the kitchen, don’t you? On MasterChef, I practised so much. I tested my dishes on all my friends and family. But this is a new show – with a new format – so it was even more nerve-racking for the cooks. Did you pick up any culinary tips yourself? Someone made scrambled eggs on toast and I have to say I’ve never tried scrambled eggs like it. They griddled it with olive oil, and the eggs were so creamy… It was absolutely delicious! On Yes Chef you have to sample the cooks’ food. Is there anything you won’t eat? I will try anything – however, I’m not a huge game fan and…

EUROVISION: MARCH 2005 Even Jordan regretted her 2005 Eurovision entry, which the voting public didn’t pick to represent the UK. She later said: “I looked like a pink condom.” REFUSED ENTRY TO POLO: JULY 2008 She tried to get into a prestigious horse club in Windsor to watch a polo match, but was refused. She claimed to have bought a table for £6k, but the club said she hadn’t. She accused them of “snobbery.” LAUGHED AT ON AMERICAN TV: NOVEMBER 2009 Desperate to make it in the US, Jordan was humiliated when interviewed by comedian Chelsea Handler. She became the butt of her jokes – and was even asked why she was famous. MUSIC CAREER BOMBS AGAIN: JULY 2010 Another musical failure: self-released single Free To Love Again only hit…

They divorced three years ago after their romance fizzled out, but last week singer Darius Campbell was seen cosying up to his ex-wife Natasha Henstridge over a romantic lunch. Just three months ago Darius, 36, was reportedly seen on a date with model Daisy Lowe, 27. Despite Darius’ rep saying there was “nothing in” the meeting, a source adds: “Darius and Natasha have always stayed close despite their split – they think of themselves as soulmates. Their friends aren’t ruling out a reunion.”…

Morbidly obese Monica Rodriguez weighs a huge 50st but has no plans to diet – instead she wants to pile on the pounds until she hits 70st in a bid to become the biggest woman in the world. Shockingly, size 38 Monica wants to gorge until she’s bedbound, and has enlisted the help of her feeder boyfriend, warehouse worker Sid Riley, who prepares special weight-gain shakes to feed her via a funnel until her 91-inch stomach is full. SEXUAL FANTASY Monica, who spends £265 a week on her 10,000-calorie-a-day diet says: “People may not understand it, but I’m addicted to food and I want to become immobile by the time I’m 32. Sid would have to do everything, even washing and changing me. It’s a sexual fantasy of mine. I…

After another summer of record-breaking A-level results, more than 400,000 students across the UK will get their first or second choice of degree course – hoping it will pave the way to a career and financial security. But with the average graduate owing a debt of around £44,000 – the highest in the English-speaking world following tuition fee hikes – is going to uni a money maker, or a money pit? We ask two celebs for their views... BUSINESSWOMAN MICHELLE DEWBERRY: ‘Common sense and confidence will get you far’ Entrepreneur and former Apprentice winner Michelle, 36, says: “Let’s face it, there are some jobs where a university degree is essential: brain surgeon, anyone? But in lots of cases, they aren’t. While a degree certainly has some…

Grandmother Jackie Wilson, 70, from North Yorkshire – who has two children and four grandchildren – took up speed walking after retirement, and now she’s in the best shape of her life. She says: “When I pictured my retirement, it didn’t involve becoming a champion speed walker, breaking records and strict training regimes! But once I realised I could be this fit and active in my 70s, there was no stopping me. “I train six days a week, have a personal trainer and have never been fitter. Exercise keeps me feeling young and is good for my mind and body. FITNESS BUG “I was a sporty youngster, playing hockey and netball, but then decades went by when I didn’t do anything active. I was too busy working full-time as a…

‘If I’m topless, I just oil myself up and get on with it!’ How are things going with your character Ross Poldark as the new series begins? Not well! He’s facing jail – possibly execution – on charges relating to the plundering of a sailing ship at the end of the last series. Things have rarely been so grave. Presumably his wife Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) is by his side? She does what she can! We see an intimate moment between them, before he goes to Bodmin to face the charges in court. How do you find filming the raunchy scenes? You just get on with them. It’s like doing the real thing! Are you in good shape? I hope I am, I think I am – but it’s been hard…

As she prepares to samba into Strictly Come Dancing, singer and TV presenter Louise Redknapp say he’s glad she’s not going on the show alongside her former footballer husband Jamie. But the 41-year-old star – who’s been married to Jamie for 18 years and has two sons, Charley, 12, and Beau, seven – admits that while she would love Jamie, 43, to be in the show, the fact he has two left feet would put paid to that. Louise laughs: “l love Strictly and I can’t wait for it to start but it’s the sort of thing we couldn’t do together. Jamie has always insisted he’d never do anything like Strictly, but when he was filming A League Of Their Own, Jack [Whitehall] told him: ‘Oh you will be on…

Did you need much convincing to come back to Cold Feet ? The only convincing I needed was that it wasn’t a practical joke. Don’t forget, we’ve been asked about it every week since it finished! When it was mooted, I said: “That sounds amazing.” I realised I’d better brush up on my northern accent, so I did some research for about half an hour and it was all good. Was it emotional reuniting with John Thomson [Pete], Hermione Norris [Karen], Robert Bathurst [David] and James Nesbitt [Adam]? Yes, absolutely. It’s a lump-in-the-throat moment: everything about your life is just going to rewind 20 years, except you look older and I’m a couple of dress sizes bigger! It’s a bit like a school reunion. Is Jenny is still married to…

I’ve got a hairy chest, though, and on screen it looks hairier, so I’m thinking I should shave it now! Do you have to watch what you eat? I don’t, to be honest, I’m like a hoover – it’s gone!
