The word “dramatic” doesn’t begin to cover reality couple Steph Davis and Jeremy McConnell’s relationship. It began on Celebrity Big Brother, descended into a vicious row over their baby Caben-Albi’s paternity and has settled into a toxic pattern of public spats, splits and a stint in rehab for Jeremy. They obviously can’t live with or without each other and it’s tempting to dismiss them as attention-seeking drama addicts. But this week Jeremy agreed to a therapy session with our brilliant psychologist Emma Kenny and it became clear the truth is more complicated. A victim of heartbreaking family tragedy, he’s lost and broken and admits he pushes away anyone who gets close to him. Finally he’s admitted he knows he and Steph need help. For Caben’s sake, we hope they get…

❛LIFE ISN’T A BED OF ROSES – IT’S AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER❜ • A third of marriages crumble within a year of footballers retiring • “Kiss and tell” girls destroy relationships • Former WAG Lizzie Cundy reveals how life can be lonely They live seemingly enviable lives, with an endless string of exotic holidays, shopping sprees and unlimited funds. Just last week, WAG Abbey Clancy was pictured aboard a luxury yacht in Mallorca with husband Peter Crouch – where she debuted her baby bump as she confirmed she was pregnant with their third child. Meanwhile, Coleen Rooney was seen enjoying her fifth holiday of the year – she and Wayne have spent recent weeks island-hopping from Greece to Italy, and were last week partying with pals in Ibiza. But scratch…

She’s always been open about her quest for perfection when it comes to altering her face and body, splashing out a rumoured £500k on plastic surgery and age-defying treatments. But Jordan, 39 – also known as Katie Price – shocked fans last week when she stepped out and gave a rare glimpse of her face without her usual make-up. And sources close to the former glamour model say that, despite modifying her appearance over the past 20 years, she’s still “cripplingly insecure” over her image. An insider says: “Katie has never been happy with her looks, and always knows what she’s going to have done next. She says she has the body of a 25-year-old, and will stop at nothing to have a face that matches her youthful appearance.” The…

His debut photography book, What I See , was launched to a barrage of criticism last week, with fans mocking Brooklyn Beckham’s efforts. And insiders say the bitter backlash against him – which comes just months after the family suffered widespread criticism following David’s leaked emails exposing his desperation for a knighthood – has put Posh into panic mode. Fans slated the 18-year-old’s credentials online writing: “I have a B in GCSE photography and I am f*****g Henri Cartier-Bresson in comparison.” Now Posh reportedly wants to take on the role of his business manager and plans to spend time in New York at the end of the summer where Brooklyn, 18, is planning to study photography . A source reveals: “Victoria was upset that Brooklyn was mocked, and she’s gone…

She’s opened up in the past about her fluctuating weight, previously telling Closer she was finally starting to “make peace” with her curves and that she’ll “always have a tummy and hips.” And Sophie Kasaei looked relaxed as she hit the beach in Malta last week, despite admitting that having a fitness model boyfriend does make her feel “insecure.” Sophie, 27 – who’s been dating Joel Corry, 27, for six years – has previously opened up about their relationship, saying: “Joel sometimes judges fitness competitions and he’s surrounded by women who are absolutely tiny with abs. It makes me feel insecure but he tells me I look beautiful.” The star, who’s 5ft, was a size 14 when she first appeared on Geordie Shore in 2011. Despite making a career from…

In an interview earlier this year – after her split from her second husband, Romain Dauriac – actress Scarlett Johansson, 32, said: “I don’t think it’s natural to be a monogamous person…. the fact that it is such work for so many people… proves that it isn’t a natural thing.” Dolly Parton, 71, has been married to Carl Dean, 74, for 51 years, but she has always admitted that men are her “weakness” and the pair have an arrangement not to tell each other if either plays away. Actor Ethan Hawke cheated on Uma Thurman with their nanny Ryan Shawhughes in 2003. When discussing the impossibility of monogamy, he once said: “To act all indignant that your world has been rocked because your lover wasn’t faithful to you, is a…

❛KERRY IS DEVASTATED. SHE FEELS SHE HAS NO ONE TO TURN TO❜ They’ve weathered countless storms together and have separated before amid allegations of domestic violence. But now insiders reveal that it’s the final straw for Kerry Katona and George Kay – and that the couple have separated again. Kerry and George – who share daughter Dylan-Jorge, now three – haven’t been seen together for more than a month. As Closer went to press, pals say George, who spent three years in prison for blackmail in 2008, has moved out of the family home, which they share with Dylan-Jorge and Kerry’s four children from past relationships – Molly, 15, Lilly-Sue, 14, Heidi, 10, and Max, nine. A source says: “Kerry and George have been separated for the past month. Kerry’s…

DR SARAH JARVIS GP, CLINICAL DIRECTOR OF PATIENT.CO.UK , SAYS: “You just can’t buy safe diet pills or creams online. Ask yourself if you’d buy tablets from a dodgy-looking bloke on a street corner, because that’s exactly what you’re doing when you buy pills online. I find it terrifying that so many people are still doing it. Almost all diet pills have been banned because of health problems. You’re always better off speaking to a pharmacist.”…

SIENNA: ‘I’M SERIOUS ABOUTBRAD’ He was one half of Hollywood’s premier power couple – but it seems Brad Pitt has moved on from his ex Angelina Jolie with British actress Sienna Miller. According to insiders, Brad, 53, and Sienna, 35, have grown close over the past few months – but are determined to keep their relationship under wraps. And pals tell Closer how the pair – who were said to be flirting back in April while working together on their film The Lost City Of Z, and were spotted cosying up at Glastonbury last month – are getting serious. A source reveals: “Sienna’s completely smitten with Brad and says she hasn’t felt like this for a long time. “She was worried about having a rebound fling, and warned Brad that…

JK ROWLING Before Harry Potter became a huge hit, JK Rowling relied on benefits. Now, the 51-year-old is worth an estimated £600m and was named the third highest-paid celebrity in Forbes’ Rich List. MICHELLE MONE After being made redundant in her 20s, Michelle created Ultimo Bra and turned her firm into a £39m business. She’s since sold 80 per cent of the company and launched two more businesses. ZOELLA Vlogger Zoe Sugg turned making videos from her bedroom into megabucks. Now worth an estimated £3m, the 27-year-old has branched out with clothing and beauty ranges along with a best-selling novel. NEIL & LAURA WESTWOOD Worcester parents Neil and Laura appeared on Dragons’ Den and gained £100k investment for their Magic Blackout Blinds. Now, their company is reported to turnover £1m a…

“It’s clear that Jeremy has huge abandonment issues, which have led to an intense fear of being rejected. This leads him to self-medicate which, in turn, leads to destructive behaviour. It’s obvious that Jeremy is committed to, and very much in love with, Steph; however, when he feels he may lose her, or finds himself in conflict with her, his coping mechanism is destructive and childish – one that by his own admission is about hurting and rejecting those he loves, before they have an opportunity to abandon him. Jeremy fully understands that his behaviour is unacceptable and he uses alcohol to punish himself and to escape his troubling feelings. He needs to concentrate on working through these deep-seated issues, because he is clearly a very caring young man, with…

No time in the morning to style your hair? Then this might be the ’do for you. The wet look is fast becoming this season’s staple beauty trend, and the likes of Kendall Jenner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Kim Kardashian have all showcased the fierce-looking style on the red carpet. Get it right and it looks effortlessly sexy; get it wrong and it looks like you’ve forgotten to dry off after a dip in the pool. Thankfully, there’s a host of lightweight products designed to create the not-yet-fully-dry look at home – and it involves minimal styling. Could this be the answer for those of us who hate the hassle of blow-drying? WE TRY IT OUT! LIFESTYLE EDITOR ANNABELLE LEE’S VERDICT : “I’m a bit obsessive about washing my hair every…

FACE YOUR FEARS... “Overcoming challenges for work has made me better at dealing with stressful situations. For example, I am terrified of heights but I had to climb up a rock face for TV documentary Ultimate Rock Climb . I was crying as I hung off, but I did it and it was amazing. Through experiences like that, I’ve become better at dealing with life’s ups and downs.” GET OUTDOORS… “Walking is my go-to therapy. If I’m down in the dumps, I get out into nature and it helps me process my thoughts and gain perspective.” THINK POSITIVE… “I believe in the power of positive thought. Smiling can change your outlook, as does a happy list or diary. Jot down things that make you feel uplifted…

Protein powders, bars and ready-to-go drinks are everywhere; we’re spending £350m a year on them, but we don’t need to! We eat too much protein – 55 per cent more than we need according to official figures and, despite the posters of ripped abs, protein doesn’t “grow” muscle, exercising does. Protein helps muscle development and recovery after exercise, but diet alone provides all you need for that. PUTTING ON WEIGHT Companies sell this idea that all you have to do to get the perfect body is drink this shake and you’re magically transformed, but that’s hugely misleading. Protein products are often high in calories, so if you’re trying to lose some weight or look “lean,” they won’t help. I see it all the time at the gym – someone does…

WHY 10? Scientists say that munching on 10 portions of fruit and veg a day could save 7.8 million premature deaths worldwide every year. Piling our plates high would reduce our risk of heart disease by nearly a quarter, stroke by a third and cancer by 13 per cent. Impressive, but is it actually possible? Read on for our verdict… THE TESTER: CLOSER’S SENIOR FEATURES WRITER ANNA MATHESON: “I’m fairly healthy and tend to get at least three or four of my five-a-day, so eating 10-a-day was intimidating – but I hoped to boost my health and energy.” DAY ONE I usually spend £70 a week on food for my boyfriend and I, but today I spent £90 thanks to extra fruit and veg, which stung! Breakfast was a banana,…

If you have a spiritual practice such as yoga, meditation or chanting, you may be amazed at the forward steps you take this year. Talking about love and money is easier, too.

She’s made no secret of her desire to have a baby with her jailbird love Joey Morrison – but insiders say Lauren Goodger was rocked recently after pal Amy Childs split from her criminal boyfriend just six weeks after giving birth. Amy, who appeared in The Only Way Is Essex with Lauren, split from Bradley Wright – who was jailed for 16 months in 2013 for three counts of theft – after four years on/off together. Now Lauren, who has been dating Joey for more than a year and is waiting for him to be released from his 16-year sentence for drug offences, is worried she could easily end up in the same position as Amy. Last week, Lauren Tweeted: “I had a dream last night that I gave birth.…

❛SHE LOVES LIAM DEEPLY BUT SHE’S COME TO REALISE HOW DIFFERENT THEY ARE❜ He’s made a string of embarrassing comments about girlfriend Cheryl in recent interviews – and last week Liam Payne put his foot in it again when he said she would skip school as a child, and seemingly took aim at the Kardashians, despite Cheryl being pals with Khloe. The former 1D star, 23 – who became a dad to Bear with Cheryl, 34, in March – gave an insight into family life, admitting: “We haven’t started lullabies yet, but he loves the telly and my Mrs has got the Kardashians on all the time. I don’t mind watching a little bit of the Kardashians, but I don’t want him looking at it and being like, ‘Oh yeah,…

She’s always insisted she’s an animal lover, despite being slammed for her “cruel” and “thoughtless” treatment of animals in the past from wearing real fur to shearing heart patterns on to her horses. But recent scenes from new reality show Katie Price: My Crazy Life have stirred up another storm over the star’s treatment of her pets. Jordan lives on a 12-acre farm and calls husband Kieran Hayler “Farmer Giles” after he took responsibility for their 90 chickens, 19 ducks, five geese, three turkeys, one peacock, three pigs, two goats, four dogs and four horses. In the show, Kieran gets alpacas to keep foxes away from his lambs, but when he puts them in the same paddock as two of Jordan’s horses, she’s seen allowing them to chase the alpacas,…

Ferne McCann had a turbulent start to her pregnancy when it emerged her ex-boyfriend was wanted over an acid attack at a London nightclub. But as she prepares for life as a single mum, pals say she’s turned things around and is feeling “positive” about her future. Ferne’s world crumbled in April, when her then-boyfriend Arthur Collins, 25, whom she’d been dating since last year, was arrested after a six-day manhunt. Collins was later charged with five counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent and 11 counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, which left two revellers partially blinded. He has pleaded not guilty and is due to stand trial in October. FEELING STRONGER And while sources close to the former TOWIE star, who’s five months pregnant with Collins’…

Charlotte Church announced the heartbreaking news last week that she’d lost her much-wanted baby. Writing on Twitter, she said: “Charlotte and Jonny are very sad to announce that they lost their baby. Now is a time for grieving and being together as a family.” The singer, 31, had revealed her pregnancy while performing at Birmingham Pride at the end of May. Charlotte has been with her partner, songwriter Jonathan Powell, for seven years and it’s thought she was four months pr a y together. She already has two children – Ruby, nine, and Dexter, eight – with her ex-fiancé, former welsh rugby star Gavin Henson. We talk to Krystal Knight who, sadly, knows only too well the agony of a late miscarriage… ‘I felt I’d failed to protect my unborn…

…MADE A BIG MISTAKE Happily it’s not on telly too often and you can normally get out of them – usually I’m aware and just correct myself. One of my more memorable mistakes was saying: “The next news is at five to sex,” which did get into quite a lot of papers the next day. I’d just got married and everyone thought I had a one-track mind! It’s the sort of thing you have nightmares about as a newsreader. …CRIED I don’t remember when I last blubbed, but usually it’s happy stories on TV that get me going. Actually, I had a bit of a tear in my eye at a ceremony recently commemorating people who were awarded the Victoria Cross in the First World War – some of those…

RELATIONSHIPS HOW TO OVERCOME FEELING JEALOUS If the green-eyed monster is in danger of ruining your romance, it’s time to get some perspective I’m not a jealous person, but my husband is, and it’s taken me years to get him to a point where he understands that my close male friends are not a threat. This type of jealousy is pretty common and tends to arrive due to three main issues: paranoia, insecurity and a tendency to overthink. If your man suddenly starts talking about a woman he has met and is clearly enjoying her company, then it’s completely normal to feel a little bit worried; however, the fact that he’s happily chatting to you about her means she’s an unlikely threat. It’s likely that if anything was going on,…

They tied the knot last month following a two-year engagement and a daughter together – and now pals say Jacqueline Jossa is wasting no time trying for baby number two with new husband Dan Osborne, with the hope of becoming parents again by next spring. The EastEnders actress, 24, married the former TOWIE star and father of her two-year-old daughter Ella, at Gary Barlow’s Cheshire mansion in front of 140 family and friends and now the pair have headed off on their honeymoon. A source says: “Jacqueline and Dan are blissfully happy and have been desperate to give Ella a sibling for the past few months, but Jac didn’t want to fall pregnant before the Big Day, so she said that they’d be trying now. “She’s always said that she…

❛THE COUPLE POSED FOR HAPPY FAMILY SNAPS BUT THEY SEEMED DISTANT❜ They are regular fixtures at uberglam red carpet events, so David and Victoria Beckham raised eyebrows when they made their debut appearance at the notoriously high-octane Glastonbury festival last week alongside eldest son Brooklyn. But Posh and David’s shock appearance was reportedly tainted by a row between the couple, after the former footballer reportedly left his wife alone in the VIP area and had been partying the night before with singer Rita Ora – who he was snapped out with in Cannes earlier this year. Then two days later, Posh and David spent a downcast evening at Brooklyn’s book launch in London, where they looked stony-faced and appeared to arrive and leave separately. FEELING SIDELINED An insider reveals: “Posh…

MYLEENE KLASS, 39 Myleene’s been bringing up Ava, nine, and Hero, six, alone since husband Graham Quinn left in 2012, just six months after they got married. The star said she made the decision to “own” being a single mum. CHANTELLE HOUGHTON, 33 She split from Alex Reid shortly after Dolly was born in 2012, claiming he turned their house into a “sex dungeon.” Reflecting on her life as a single mum, Chantelle said: “I remind myself how lucky I am.” STACEY SOLOMON, 27 The singer had Zachary, nine, at 18 with ex-boyfriend Dean Cox, and Leighton, five, with ex Aaron Barnham. Talking about her sons’ upbringing, Stacey said: “I don’t think there’s one right way to do things.”…

Jane, 39, from Swindon, was with husband Paul*, 45, for 12 years before he suggested they should have an open marriage. She says: “When my husband brought up the idea we were happy but, with young children, the spark had slightly gone. I was concerned but he reassured me, saying he loved me, and that if either of us didn’t like it we’d stop. “Looking back, I realise I agreed in part to ‘keep’ him. For the next three years we had fun, we both tried swinging together and I went on some dates with other men. At first, I liked the attention and it seemed like we were being a bit rebellious as none of our friends knew. Paul didn’t date other women but he did sleep with them.…

❛ HER SKIN STARTED MELTING AND SHE LOST THE TIP OF HER NOSE ❜ Alert over diet pills that ‘microwave’ your insides Michaela Baranowski’s beautiful mum Linda was often mistaken for someone 10 years younger. But as she approached 50, she bought diet pills and skin-tightening gel online to help hold back the ageing process. When she collapsed at home in January 2016 and was raced to hospital, no one imagined it was Linda’s fight to look young that would lead to her death. Two weeks ago, a coroner confirmed that the combination of the gel and pills had burned Linda’s body from the inside out, causing organ failure. Michaela, 29, says: “Mum was full of energy and loved life – I miss her so much. When she was in…

Her bizarre behaviour in Ibiza sparked concern last week, and Chloe Sims has revealed that the pressures of being a single mum can play havoc with her anxiety. Chloe was filmed stumbling around in a red leotard that exposed her bottom , and the star appeared dazed and confused following a 12-hour drinking session. After the footage went online, Chloe , 34, told Closer that bringing up daughter Madison, 12, alone had fuelled her battle with anxiety and, combined with drinking alcohol, it all got too much. She says: “I have higher levels of anxiety and, at the moment, I’m feeling quite edgy and uncomfortable. I’m a single mum and I haven’t got my own mum to lean on.” Chloe also opened up about her difficult past, saying: “I never…

Money expert and TV presenter Jasmine Birtles says a good idea can be turned into a money-spinner, and allow you to retire early if you put in the hard work. Here are her top tips: • Gadgets or services that provide solutions to everyday problems are often the most lucrative. And the best ideas are often the simplest – an 11-year-old girl recently invented a cup with three legs that can’t tip over for her grandad with Parkinson’s disease. • Once you’ve researched your idea, check there’s nothing out there too similar already. Contact the Intellectual Property Office through Gov.uk to find out whether you should patent your idea to prevent anyone else from copying it. • Speak to people who are already in the business, who may wish to…

‘I haven’t dealt with any of the grief properly’ EMMA: There are a lot of press stories about you, but let’s start at the beginning – tell me about your childhood... JEREMY: My dad left when I was a baby and Mum and I moved around a lot so I was always changing schools and feeling a bit unsettled. My mum was an alcoholic; she always held down jobs and did her best for me, but she’d drink a bottle of Bacardi every night. My dad moved in with my stepmum and, although he tried, he’d always say he’d come and see me but would often let me down at the last minute, which was hard. When I was 11, my mum started getting a pain in her head. She…

‘I’m never going to have the body of a 20 year old – but I don’t care’ I TRY NOT TO GET TOO ANXIOUS ABOUT MY HEALTH I was worried when both my parents were diagnosed with cancer within a year of each other [Julia’s mum Chrissi suffered with bowel cancer while her dad Michael had prostate cancer]. But we all pulled together as a family, stayed optimistic, and, happily, they have now both recovered. I’m at the age where there are potential cancer risks due to my family history, but there is a big difference between being mindful of your health and being over-anxious and paranoid. It’s sometimes hard but I try to keep a lid on worries so they don’t get on top of me as being fearful…

JORDAN How much do you spend? Our shopping bill varies each week, but it’s never under £500 as we always have family and friends round [Katie is married to Kieran, 30, and has children Harvey, 15 , Junior, 12, Princess , 10, Jett, three, and Bunny, two]. We shop at Tesco and also have a farm, so we get fresh pork and lamb and make our own sausages. Describe your daily diet… Kieran and I love cooking, so most of the time we’ll make meals from scratch. I like poached eggs on toast for breakfast and the kids will have cereal. Lunch is a chicken salad and for dinner Kieran likes to make steak, mushrooms and sweet potato chips or sometimes we’ll grab an Indian takeaway. I don’t really snack…

JOIN A CLUB “If you drive fewer than 6,000 miles a year, a car club could save you £3,500 a year compared to owning a vehicle,” says motor industry expert Rebecca Jackson. Members of car clubs can book cars online and use remotely activated smartcards to unlock the vehicle. At the end of the journey, you return the car to its dedicated on-street parking space. Prices vary, so check on Carplus.org.uk. “They sidestep tax, MOT, fuel, servicing and repairs. Insurance also varies,” says Rebecca. “Annual excess insurance could be cheaper and prices start at £50.” Kevin Pratt, consumer affairs expert at MoneySuperMarket advises watching out for limited mileage offers. He says: “They charge you an amount per mile if you go beyond an initial allocation.” BAG BARGAIN PETROL “Petrolprices.com lists…

1 KATIE PRICE: MY CRAZY LIFE NEW TELL-ALL REALITY SERIES MON 10 JULY, 10PM, QUEST RED At last Katie Price’s new reality show is here – a fabulous fly-on-the-wall series mostly filmed at her home in Sussex (where she keeps her five horses, four goats, sheep, dogs, cats and Marvin the iguana, blimey!) “This is my crazy life and we’re going to party Pricey-syle,” she shrieks. Kiddos Harvey, Princess, Junior, Jett and Bunny feature, obvs (although she can’t remember how old some of them are), plus hubby Kieran Hayler (“our relationship is very up and down,” he admits). Let the craziness commence! Katie says: “I’ve always liked sparkly things – if I could make my whole house a glitterball, I would!” 2 IN THE DARK GRIPPING NEW DRAMA TUE 11…

This week lovely Craig Tinker (who we HEART) is set to discover the truth about evil rapist Neil… Bethany doesn’t know what Neil is capable of – and she’s exhausted from keeping it all to herself, so she ends up telling Craig that Neil (Craig’s work colleague) is Nathan’s mate – and that he was at the parties. Craig is horrified. How tough have the scenes been to film? The whole storyline has been harrowing and difficult. It’s especially upsetting because you remember that people actually go through this, and I’m just pretending. Are you close to Colson Smith (Craig) behind the scenes? I’m really close to Colson, although when we’re out and about he can’t get away with not being recognised! I look a lot different to my character…

Hidden Figures AVAILABLE ON DVD OUT NOW This heartwarming true-life drama is more than just a glossy history lesson – it sheds light on an important turning point in US equal rights as three black women prove their worth working at NASA. The excellent Janelle Monáe, Taraji P. Henson and Octavia Spencer (above) star as sidelined mathematicians whose skills prove invaluable to their boss (Kevin Costner) in the space race of 1961.
