Sadie Frost has admitted to feeling “invisible and irrelevant” as she gets older and, as a former member of the trendy Primrose Hill set, it must be especially poignant that her beautiful 17-year-old model daughter Iris has taken on her mantle. But her comments struck a chord with women everywhere. As one brave mum admits to us on page 21, you can be bursting with pride over your child, but still wish you were in their shoes. Of course, youth is wasted on the young, and on page 22 we look at some mature celebs who, although still looking for love, have learned so much along the way, they’re becoming happier in their own skin. We all know that true confidence (not to be confused with mere attention-seeking) is the…

She’s managed to keep her one-year-old son, Bear, out of the spotlight – giving fans rare glimpses of him with the odd snap on social media, but carefully controlling the pictures to ensure his face is never shown. Now pals say Cheryl, 34, is worried this could be jeopardised if the worst happened and she split from her boyfriend Liam Payne, 24. The pair have endured numerous rumours that their two-year relationship is on the rocks, with the Strip That Down singer recently admitting “we have our struggles.” And pals say the former Girls Aloud star is concerned about the impact a break-up could have on Bear. CONCERNED A source says, “Of course, Cheryl wants things to work out with Liam, but she can’t help but worry what will happen…

They’ve been inseparable throughout their nine-month whirlwind romance, and now Chloe Green and Jeremy Meeks are reportedly having their first child together. The pair went public last June, just weeks after meeting at the Cannes Film Festival, when they were spotted kissing on a yacht in Turkey. At the time, American ex-con Jeremy was still married to his now estranged wife, Melissa. They have an eight-year-old son from their nine-year marriage and are currently embroiled in bitter divorce proceedings. Closer previously reported that Topshop heiress Chloe, 27, had already given up booze in preparation for them starting a family together, and was hunting for a large home where they could settle down. Jeremy was nicknamed “hot felon” after his police mugshot went viral in 2014, following his arrest on weapons…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS , ‘I’m a big fan of attachment parenting and can understand why Sam would just want to get some sleep. But while it’s advisable to let your baby sleep in a cot in your bedroom, it’s not advisable to share a bed with young babies, as, according to research, it increases the risk of cot death fivefold. There’s less risk with older children and, in that case, if you’re all in agreement, then I’d suggest your child sleeps with you and your partner. But even that’s not a long-term setup, as I strongly believe sharing a bed with your partner encourages bonding, intimacy and sex – and you risk losing that if you’re sleeping separately. Going to bed together also gives you time…

Tormented both in the playground and online, 16-year-old Martin Holder was bullied throughout his life. By November 2012, he could no longer cope with the relentless physical and mental abuse he’d been suffering. He was found hanging in his bedroom by his horrified younger sister. Martin’s devastated mum, Marj Hamlett-Hughes, 46 – who lives in Cheltenham with her husband, Mark, 56, and daughter, Charlie, 18 – says her son was bullied from the moment he started senior school. She says, “Martin was small for his age, which made him a target. When he got a Facebook account, the abuse spread online. He was musical and loved to play the guitar and posted videos of himself singing online, but horrible comments would be left underneath. After his death, police showed me…

She’s always been adamant that she would never have children, but Lisa Riley has made a dramatic U-turn after falling in love for the first time, saying that she’s trying for a baby and has already seen a fertility specialist ahead of undergoing IVF. The TV star – who found fame as Emmerdale’s Mandy Dingle in the ’90s – has admitted she wants to start a family with her musician boyfriend Al, whom she met through friends in 2014. Last week, she revealed, “I’ve decided not to live in fear... There are a lot of reasons why I want to have a baby; some to do with the fact I’ve saved myself by losing weight, but also that I’m in love for the first time in my life and he’d…

Anneliese Colwell, 47, a riding teacher, lives in Somerset with her husband Matt, 53, and two daughters, Izzy, 15, and Molly, 11. She says… “When I heard Sadie Frost’s words, I empathised completely. There comes a time in your life when you feel you could be turning cartwheels naked down the high street, and still no one would look in your direction. “The invisibility cloak crept up on me pretty much when I turned 40. I’d never considered myself to be anything special, but I was young, carefree and happy, and I rarely left a party or a bar without a man giving me his phone number. I certainly got my fair share of drinks bought for me, and wolf whistles. TAKING IT FOR GRANTED “When you’re young you take…

She’s reportedly dating a “handsome older man” in secret, while her estranged husband Brad Pitt is also said to be moving on, in what pals are saying has now become a “race” between the former couple to find someone new. And insiders tell Closer that Angelina Jolie, 42, is finally happy again with her mystery man – reportedly an estate agent – after feeling really low following her split from Brad, 54. A source says, “Ange finally feels more like herself again, even though it’s still early days with her new boyfriend. She suffered from loneliness after her split with Brad and has struggled being a full-time mum to six kids. When she was introduced to her new man by someone on her legal team, it very much came at…

Shooting to fame on The X Factor nine years ago, Olly Murs ascended from reality TV hopeful to celebrated pop star, before landing the job of talent show judge on The Voice. But as he reflects upon his success, the Essex native, 33, still has unfulfilled ambitions, and wants to team up with his pal, former TOWIE star Mark Wright, who co-hosts LA-based TV show Extra. Olly tells Closer, “Mark and I have joked about presenting together. That would be such a laugh! At the moment, we’re doing different things, but in the future that would be so good. We’re both East End Essex boys, aren’t we? There’d be lots of banter. Mark’s done amazingly well – to come from a reality show like TOWIE and go on to what…

❛ AS SOON AS I WOKE UP I KNEW I’D MADE A MISTAKE ❜ Star Delguidice often attracts stares with her extremely perky rear, but after having bum implants double the recommended size, the 28-year-old from Birmingham admits it’s the biggest mistake of her life. The former lap dancer says, “I thought a big bum would make me feel sexy, but it’s so massive I can barely sit down. It’s uncomfortable and I can feel the implants moving when I walk. I’m terrified the scars will burst open or my implants could explode. The only good thing is the attention I get from men; they can’t take their eyes off me.” Single Star has been going under the knife since she was a teen. “I’ve always been obsessed with Barbie,”…

‘I’m proud of being a mum – it’s a privilege’ REMEMBER WHAT’S IMPORTANT “It can be easy to get swept away with worries and day-to-day life but, to me, my family is everything. As long as we are happy and healthy, that’s all we ever need. I can’t imagine life without my boys – I’d be so bored!” BE KIND TO YOURSELF AND OPEN UP “After suffering from post-natal depression with my second son, Harry, I vowed that if I had it again I’d be completely honest with those who love me about how I was feeling. I had a tough time adjusting to life as a single mother after my marriage to Jamie [O’Hara, dad to her older three boys] broke down and I ended up taking antidepressants and…

‘VEGETABLES CAN’T COMBAT DEPRESSION’ A study found that eating a healthy diet made people less likely to suffer depression, Dr C says it’s not that simple Researchers followed 964 people for six years, and monitored their depression symptoms and diet. Those who avoided red meat, saturated fats and sugar, and ate vegetables, fruit and whole grains, were 11 per cent less likely to have depression later. FEELING DOWN IMPACTS YOUR DIET That’s all well and good, but the way it was reported was insulting, suggesting that a mental health condition was merely down to diet. It’s too simplistic to say “these people eat well, that’s why they’re not depressed”. It’s probably more accurate to say “these people are eating well because they’re not depressed”. THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF TRIGGERS…

What was Peru like? GREGG: What was that drink I liked at the bar? JOHN: Pisco sour. GREGG: I got Pisco sours, and we were served up a dish of what was predominantly a big bowl of frozen piranha heads… Aren’t they meant to be toxic? JOHN: I don’t know; I’m feeling all right! It was a great experience and the contestants got a huge amount out of it. We had some very good food, like llama, and proper Ceviche [a seafood dish] as it should be made. GREGG: It struck me that you’ve got food there that’s incredibly modern, allied with ingredients that are almost ancient. I thought that was very clever. Tell us about the potatoes? GREGG: We ate some potatoes that had been cooked at an altitude…

After vowing her ex, Arthur Collins, wouldn’t be a part of their daughter’s life, Ferne McCann made a drastic U-turn last month, revealing she was visiting him in prison – where he’s serving 20 years for carrying out an acid attack in a club last April – for the sake of five-month old Sunday. ❛SHE’S STRUGGLED WITH HOW MANY OF HER FRIENDS HAVE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON HER❜ FEELING ALONE But insiders say most of 27-year-old Ferne’s friends have cut her out following the controversial decision and she’s been left feeling more alone than ever. A source says, “Ferne can deal with online trolls, but she’s struggled to come to terms with how many friends seem to have turned their backs on her. Ferne knows she distanced herself from some…

She’s been heavily trolled for her dramatically changing appearance – the result of multiple cosmetic enhancements, including a nose job, a boob job, lip fillers and Botox. Now Charlotte Crosby has shocked fans by revealing she wants even more work done, this time on her forehead. UNDER PRESSURE In last week’s opening episode of her new reality series The Charlotte Show, the 27-year-old star revealed she’s planning more surgery, despite her mum’s disapproval. She said, “As someone in the public eye, you’re always under pressure to look your best all the time, so I’m always thinking of new ways I can improve myself. The next thing I want done is [to make] my forehead smaller. I want a hair transplant, I’ll get [my hairline] put in a bit lower so…

IZZY DIX Izzy was just 14 when she was found hanging in her bedroom in Brixham, Devon, in October 2013. The teenager had been bullied for doing well in school and for her Australian accent. After her death, her mum, Gabbi, released a poem her daughter had written about her torment. “They tell me to leave and that I am not wanted,” read one of the heartbreaking lines. Gabbi now campaigns to put an end to bullying. MEGAN EVANS Megan took her own life in February 2017, aged 14, after allegedly being bullied on Snapchat. Her mum, Nicola, only learned of Megan’s torment when cruel messages were discovered on her phone after her death. The last message sent to her was, “Why don’t you just hang yourself?” According to her…

KYLIE MINOGUE, 49 ‘You have to remain hopeful’ She split from her 30-year- old fiancé Joshua Sasse in February 2017 after two years together, but it wasn’t until last week that Kylie Minogue finally spoke about her heartbreak. The singer confessed that, in the immediate aftermath of the break-up, she spent six days in Thailand to recover. She said, “I just wanted to stop. I knew I needed to heal... my physical system was compromised. I think it’s called a nervous breakdown. I just thought, ‘No, no, no, no’.” But Kylie added that she’s a very practical person, and that “Thailand was an opportunity to reclaim myself, get strong and get going.” It’s not the first time Kylie has been unlucky in love. She dated Neighbours co-star Jason Donovan, 49,…

She’s not spoken publicly since her marriage breakdown from Justin Theroux was announced in February – and has since been pictured looking amazing at a pal’s recent 40th birthday party. Meanwhile, her ex has reportedly moved on with 25-year-old artist Petra Collins, and was last week snapped in New York with actress Aubrey Plaza, 33, who he worked with on Parks And Recreation . Now insiders tell Closer how Jennifer Aniston, 49, is planning a special interview with her pal, US TV host Ellen DeGeneres , to talk about the split from Justin, 46. A source says, “Jen’s in a much stronger place now and is ready to address everything that happened between her and Justin. They both tried to fight for their marriage, but she plans to reveal details…

She only recently reconciled with her daughter, and last week Mel B’s mother divided opinion after sharing a distressing letter, reportedly written by Mel’s 10-year-old daughter Angel, begging to never again see former step-father Stephen Belafonte. Andrea Brown posted the handwritten letter to Twitter last week, captioned “a cry for help”, amid an ongoing visitation battle over Angel, who was raised by Stephen. The letter details alleged abuse, saying, “I am very frightened of Stephen. I heard Stephen hitting Mommy’s hand.” Followers slammed Andrea for breaching Angel’s privacy. Mel – also mum to Madison, 19, and Phoenix Chi, six – split from Stephen in December 2016, accusing him of “emotional and physical abuse”. Their divorce was finalised one year later; he is now dating designer Jessica Rich.…

JENNIFER HUDSON: “We get on so well because we’ve had a similar journey – she was working on cruise ships, I was working in pubs. She was on American Idol , I was on The X Factor . I guess the similarities stop there – she’s from California, I’m from little old Essex! She’s won an Oscar, I’ve won Rear Of The Year.” SIR TOM JONES: “Tom is amazing, and I learn from him every day. To be put in a box with him is mind-blowing. I hope he’s enjoyed working with me as much as I’ve loved working with him.” WILL.I.AM: “I’d met will a couple of times before I joined the show, so I was well-prepared for his quirkiness. His one-liners are hilarious. He’s a very talented man,…

Throughout her three decades in the spotlight, Martine McCutcheon has pretty much had one drama after another. But despite battles with her health, money and career, the actress finally found her happy ending when she and husband Jack McManus welcomed son Rafferty – their only child – in February 2015. It came as an even bigger blessing for Martine, 41 – who was declared bankrupt over £187,000 debts after ME and depression meant work dried up – as she’d suffered multiple heartbreaking miscarriages. GETTING STRONGER Martine was first diagnosed with the debilitating neurological condition ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, in 2011 after years of struggling with symptoms. And she feared the condition would prevent her from being a mum. She says, “I haven’t been able to have another…

‘ I RELAX IN PJs AND PRIMARK SLIPPERS!’ 6.30AM – I don’t set an alarm as my son, AJ [four], always wakes me up. He’ll climb into my bed around 6am wanting to play – I never get to lie-in! I can’t start my day until I’ve had a coffee, so I’ll have a large cup with a ham and cheese omelette for breakfast. 7AM – I try to plan my outfit the night before for ease. I buy my clothes in Zara and H&M, but I love shopping online, too – Miss Pap and ASOS have some great stuff. 9AM – I don’t have a strict morning beauty routine, but as I’ve got older I’ve realised how important it is to look after my skin, especially because I’ve had…

Research that compared hobby cyclists with healthy adults who didn’t exercise regularly found that the cyclists preserved muscle mass and strength, kept stable levels of body fat and cholesterol and, better still, had excellent immunity. An organ called the thymus, which makes immune cells called T-cells, normally starts to shrink after our 20th birthday, but the older cyclists (aged 55 to 79) were generating as many T-cells as younger people. So, if you want to avoid being old and frail, saddle up and get cycling!…

SPOT TRICKS THAT MAKE YOU SPEND! Ever wondered how your weekly supermarket bill ended up so expensive? Here are some sneaky tactics to watch out for... Most of us know the classic tricks shops use; pumping out the mouth-watering smell of baked bread to lure us in, and plonking impulse buys next to the tills – but there are loads of subtler ways companies are encouraging us to spend. Now, Moneyguru.com expert Debs Vickers shares some of them... ENCOURAGING USE OF BIGGER TROLLIES An experiment found that when our trolleys double in size, we buy 40 per cent more. Often, all the baskets are missing in supermarket entrances, but instead of falling for this, grab one from the till area, or ask a member staff if you can’t find one.…

Tell us about Star Boot Sale ? I’d never done a car boot sale before and I’d never even been to one. They’re actually brilliant and I love rummaging through other people’s stuff; you can pick up some absolute gems. What were you selling? Before this came up, I’d had a huge clear-out of my wardrobe and half of my clothes were in bags waiting for my sister to go through them. I had to tell her that she wasn’t allowed to look until after I’d done Star Boot Sale, because I wanted to make really good money for charity. Did you have to haggle? Absolutely, and I’m not good at that – it was really embarrassing and made me cringe. I thought I was giving…

Just a week after having an agonising op to fix a botched facelift, Jordan was seen hitting the town for the opening of a new London club with distorted, overinflated lips, prompting trolls to mock the star’s “trout pout”. But despite her lips appearing normal again at a charity football match in Cheltenham just 24 hours later, cosmetic specialist Dr Nyla Raja reveals all the repeat procedures will have a lasting impact and that Jordan, also known as Katie Price, is running the risk of infection or necrosis – where the flesh rots away. Dr Nyla, who recently told Closer that Jordan – who turns 40 this year – may “never look normal again” after her recent cosmetic work, says, “There are so many risks from repeat surgeries. Lip filler…

She’s due to give birth to her first child next month, and Hollywood star Eva Longoria proudly showed off her growing bump last week as she spent a day at the beach in Miami with husband José Bastón. The actress, 42, had previously said that having children was “just not in my future,” but changed her mind after becoming a step-mother to José’s three children, Natalia, 22, and 14-year-old twins Mariana and José. Speaking about them in 2015, she said, “They’ve been such a gift in my life. I just turned 40, so I have thought, ‘Is time running out?’ I should be thinking about children, but I feel like my life is full. If there is anything else to come, it would be the icing on the cake.” Twice-divorced…

Scarlett Moffatt has been plagued by surgery rumours after sharing sultry selfies, with fans comparing them to how she looked on her TV debut five years ago. The star hit back at claims she has had surgery, posting a picture to Instagram of herself as a youngster and saying her “new face” is down to clever make-up. Scarlett, 27, captioned the shot, “This is me age six. I have the same button nose, chubby cheeks and monobrow that I do now (just now highlighter and contouring exists). I also have the same attitude... Life is measured by how many times I laugh a day and how much love I have in my heart, because that’s all that truly matters!” Last month, her new boyfriend, fitness model Lee Wilkinson, reportedly begged…

• Look out for tell-tale signs, such as unexplainable injuries, changes in behaviour and loss of belongings. • Cyberbullying is on the rise – be aware if your child is spending a lot more, or less, time online. • Encourage your child to talk to you – if they tell you they’re being bullied, don’t brush it off. Stay calm and listen to their concerns seriously. • If you’re concerned your child might be a bully, take it seriously. Don’t treat it as a phase your child is going through. Teach them empathy at home and talk to them about how it feels to be bullied. • All schools are legally required to have an anti-bullying policy. Make an appointment to speak to the headteacher. Go with clear facts and…

Sadie Frost complained recently about feeling “invisible and irrelevant” as she aged, bemoaning the lack of attention she now gets, compared to the recognition she enjoyed in her heyday. Meanwhile, 17-year-old daughter Iris has taken on her mantle, modelling for brands such as Burberry. Sadie says she is “quite happy not to have the pressure and let my kids get on with it. I can just become an old hippy and disappear.” But her comments have provoked discussion of mothers passing over the “beauty baton” to their daughters. The feeling resonates with women over 40 who feel consigned to the scrapheap just as their daughters are blossoming. Here, a mum of two talks to Closer about how she feels invisible next to her daughter……

She’s had her fair share of relationship dramas, but last week Megan McKenna looked happier than ever, cosying up to her new boyfriend Mike Thalassitis. And the TOWIE star-turned-singer tells Closer that after her roller-coaster relationship with Pete Wicks – who allegedly cheated on her with around 20 girls – she’s really excited about her new romance with “Muggy Mike”. “It’s going really well and I’m very happy,” she giggles. “He’s honestly such a nice boy. People haven’t seen the side of him that I see – he’s a lovely boy, and we get on really well.” FAMOUS EXES Since rising to fame via Ex On The Beach, Megan, 24, has been linked to the likes of reality star Jordan Davies and Geordie Shore’s Scotty T. She joined the cast…

She’s one of the world’s most glamourous models, so it’s no surprise Heidi Klum has a new – younger – man in her life. The 44 year old appeared to confirm her romance with rock musician Tom Kaulitz, 28, last week, after the pair were spotted kissing outside the set of America’s Got Talent in LA, where Heidi was filming her role as a judge. A source says, “Heidi’s loved-up. She doesn’t care about the age difference at all – she says they’ve got great chemistry and that’s all that matters. She’s looking forward to seeing what develops.” The new romance isn’t Heidi’s first tryst with a toyboy. She was previously linked to art dealer Vito Schnabel, 31, but the pair called it quits last September after three years. Before…

Cara Delevingne and Paris Jackson confirmed their romance last week after they were seen snogging in Los Angeles. Model Cara, 25, and Michael Jackson’s 19-year-old daughter, Paris, met at the MTV Music Awards last May, and were spotted holding hands in London in November. Days before the kissing pictures surfaced, they shared photos on social media of them watching Netflix together in bed. Cara, who dated St Vincent singer Annie Clark, 35, for 18 months, has openly talked about being bisexual and has previously been linked to high-profile male and female celebs, including actress Michelle Rodriguez, 39, Harry Styles, 24, and Jack O’Connell, 27. Meanwhile, Paris is believed to have been single since splitting from boyfriend of one year, musician Michael Snoddy, 22, in February last year.…

The world was stunned when, in April 2008, Elisabeth Fritzl, then 42, escaped a 24-year kidnap ordeal. She had been locked in a rat-infested cellar and raped repeatedly, giving birth to seven children. Even more horrifically, the rapist was her own father, Josef Fritzl. To the outside world, Fritzl was a respected engineer from Amstetten, Austria, who lived with his wife Rosemarie and their seven children. But on 28 August 1984, he lured Elisabeth, then 18, into the damp cellar, which he had secretly renovated to contain a cooker, washbasin, toilet and two bedrooms. He later said, “I had to create a place where I could keep Elisabeth away from the outside world.” Rosemarie reported her missing, and Fritzl forced Elisabeth to write a letter claiming she’d run away to…

‘All I wanted was to be a mum and wife’ As the founding member of the band back in 1998, Kerry thrilled fans when she announced she was returning in 2013. But after joking about former bandmate Natasha Hamilton being a “toxic c*** ”, Kerry was “gutted” to be asked to leave last November. Kerry says now, “I’m eternally grateful to Atomic Kitten, those girls are like my baby sisters, and if it wasn’t for Atomic Kitten, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I love being on stage with the girls, but I don’t think I’m confident enough to do it on my own.” Singing was never her strong point – Andy McCluskey, who created the Kittens, spotted Kerry, then 17, dancing with a band called The Porn Kings…

PRESENTING ON THIS MORNING “It’s like [being at] your nan’s house – the set smells of tea and toast. Eamonn [Holmes] always walks on set with 10 seconds to go – on my first day, he came to my part of the studio, popped his head around, and said, ‘Matt, don’t f**k up.’ It was the best thing to say, because it relaxed me.” INTERVIEWING CELEBS “I’ve met my music idol Slash, from Guns N’ Roses, and my comedy idol, Ricky Gervais.
