Confidence is sexy Ask most people what makes someone sexy and the answer is usually “confidence.” You can have the body of a Victoria’s Secret model but if you’re always self-conscious and hangry (hungry and angry) the chances are you’re not putting a smile on anyone’s face. Vicky Pattison is a great example. She was a size 6, but since relaxing her exhausting diet regime she admits she feels happier and therefore sexier. So if you’re fretting about not having your ideal figure, please stop. Switch your focus to a great life rather than a tiny dress size and your whole world could open up!…

They’ve weathered their fair share of storms, from affairs to addictions throughout their 18-year marriage, but last week Zoe Ball and Norman Cook announced they’d come to “the end of our rainbow” as they broke the news that they’re separating. The split comes nine months after the presenter was pictured kissing boyband singer TayTay Starhz, who is 23 years her junior. Last week, he admitted he believed Zoe had kissed other men during her marriage, and “wasn’t happy.” In the wake of the split, insiders say Zoe, 45, has turned to pal and Strictly co-presenter Tess Daly, whose 13-year marriage was rocked in March when her husband Vernon Kay was accused of sexting former Page 3 girl Rhian Sugden, six years after he’d publicly apologised for sending Rhian explicit messages.…

‘Vicky won’t make herself miserable over a few pounds’ She’s made no secret of her battle against her fluctuating weight, but as Vicky Pattison enjoyed cocktails by the pool in Ibiza last week, she confidently showed off her new curves in a skimpy bikini. Pals say Vicky was determined to let her hair down and not obsess over her recent weight gain after enjoying pizza and pasta during a work trip to Italy with best friend Ferne McCann. A source says: “Vicky had the time of her life in Ibiza and really let her hair down, which she needed after her hectic working schedule over the past few months. She loved being able to eat and drink what she wanted and she got loads of attention from guys, which gave…

It’s something many men are often afraid to speak out about, but domestic violence by women is growing at an alarming rate. Shocking stats released by the Attorney General have revealed violence against men has tripled in the past decade. A record 5,640 wives and girlfriends were convicted of assaulting their male partners last year, up from 1,850 in 2007. Alarmingly, 177 women are convicted of domestic abuse every week. Even Labour’s shadow minister for domestic violence Sarah Champion admitted she was cautioned by police in 2007 after attacking her ex-husband who is still “disturbed” by her actions. SERIOUS CASES So what’s behind this shocking rise? Mark Brooks, chairman of charity Mankind Initiative – which helps male victims of domestic abuse – says: “We’re seeing a rise in men being…

She was dragged into the drama last week as online memes of Jennifer Aniston’s mock satisfaction over her ex Brad’s divorce did the rounds. But pals say the actress, 47, was left crushed after her husband Justin Theroux, 45, broke their pact to stay silent on the split in a recent interview, saying: “As a child of divorce all I can say is that’s terrible news for those children.” A pal says: “Jen was fuming with Justin for getting involved – especially after he’d seen how stressed and upset she was following the taunts she received and made him swear not to address it. Justin apologised insisting he was pushed into a corner. But all Jen wants to do is be as far removed from the divorce as possible.” Jen…

‘She’s just another puppet in their game’ She appeared to heal her rift with the Kardashian sisters after she became pregnant with their brother Rob’s child. However, Blac Chyna was notably excluded from a baby shower arranged by the clan after Rob refused to attend because it was being filmed for the family’s TV show – and now insiders say the star is plotting her revenge. Following the snub, Rob fumed on Twitter: “Didn’t invite the mother of my child to a baby shower you all were trying to throw for me? You all must have lost your damn minds.” He then retaliated by making sister Kylie Jenner’s phone number public. As Closer previously reported, Rob’s sister Kim, 35, has been keeping Blac on side in a bid to stop…

Mariah Carey was snapped on a luxury holiday with her billionaire fiancé James Packer on their his and hers yachts on Greek island Mykonos last week. And pals say their trip was actually a recce for what friends are already calling “the wedding of the decade.” Sources say Mariah, 46, and James, 49, who are worth £2.3billion, are even talking about hiring out the entire island, which has a population of 10,000. A source says: “James met up with Mykonos-based billionaire businessman Carlos Slim to talk about taking over the island for a day. They’re also considering renting out another private island for their nuptials.” This will be the singer’s third trip down the aisle – she was first married to music mogul Tommy Mottola in the ’90s, before marrying…

The odds appeared stacked against Penny and Sir Rod when they first met in 1999. He was an ageing rock star with two broken marriages and six children, and she was a successful model moving into a photography career – and that’s before the 26-year age gap is mentioned. But Penny, 45, is all smiles when she confirms the couple – who have sons Aiden, five, and Alastair, 10 – are stronger than ever as she and Rod, 71, celebrate 17 years together. Penny says: “We’re particularly good at communicating and are very open about how we feel. We’re never shy about expressing our opinions to one another and that kind of prevents you having rows. I was shy and not very confident when I met Rod. He’s always saying…

Hairstylist Amber Dowding – who made her debut on TOWIE towards the end of the last series when she started dating co-star Chris Clark – showed off the results of her tough exercise regime in a low-cut black swimsuit. The 22-year-old – who describes herself as a “fitness freak” on social media – worked hard with her personal trainer in preparation for the holiday, even joking on Twitter: “Never sweated or ached the way I have with this woman!” But refreshingly the size 8 star admitted she can’t resist when Chris “brings her chocolate.”…

£22 On breakfast for me and a girlfriend. We had poached eggs, salmon and spinach with green tea. £40 For a bikini wax at London salon Strip. That wasn’t very exciting! £500 On a pair of Isabel Marant boots. I justified it as I know they’ll last for years, and I just love them! £1,700 For a massive six-hob Smeg oven. It’s the daddy of ovens, and my new toy. This is why I’m staying in and cooking so much! £7 On my journey into London today on the Tube, as I couldn’t find my Oyster card.…

THE MOVES When it comes to keeping fit, Catherine is Streets ahead. The blonde bombshell, who has 18-month-old son Alfie with her personal trainer husband Tom, fits in three gym sessions a week, and has shed 2st since giving birth by weight-training. The actress says: “People think weights give you bulging muscles, but that’s a myth… I’ve kept my curves, which I love.” THE FOODS Catherine, 33, has tried every fad diet going, but educated herself about nutrition when she became a mum. She says: “I don’t have any junk or processed food. I eat lots of fish, vegetables and olive oil.” THE CHEAT Catherine always looks like a complete knockout on the red carpet – and her secret weapon is to have a quick boxing session in the run-up…

Anyone with a skin problem, from eczema to acne and psoriasis to rosacea, should get to know their skin. Learn what makes it better, and what makes it worse, and tell your doctor. It can really help us find the best treatments. Here are some areas to think about. TOO MUCH STRESS There’s a very strong mind-skin connection so there’s a whole area of medicine called psychodermatology where skin conditions are treated using therapy. If a psoriasis sufferer goes through a stressful period, they can be covered head-to-toe with red, flaky patches within days. If you know stress is around the corner (a job interview, say), pre-empt that and increase your medication a bit (with your doctor’s input). With acne, stress hormones increase sebum production, making your skin more spot-prone.…

“ MY POCKET MONEY WAS… A fiver here and there – I used to save it up and then buy a nice piece of clothing. MY FIRST JOB WAS… I worked at Jo Malone when I was 16 for a few days a week. I earned around £5 an hour. I SPENT MY FIRST PROPER PAY CHEQUE ON… A top by designer Phillip Lim. It was black with a gold beaded neckline – it cost me £200. THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN IS… I like collecting watches and handbags by Gucci and Chanel; they cost a couple of grand each. THE LAST THING I BOUGHT WAS… A healthy chicken salad from Squirrel in Chelsea. SPENDER OR SAVER? A bit of both, but if I really like something, I’ll buy…

SINGER AND TV STAR JANE MCDONALD, 53, TAKES OUR QUIZ… What are you scared of? Nothing – I realise now that worrying is pointless. What’s your worst habit? Overspending. I start with a budget, then double it! When was the last time you said “I love you?” Earlier today when Ed, my partner, dropped me off at the station. I also tell my mum I love her every day. What animal would you be and why? My brother’s dog. He’s got his own bed and lounges on the sofa – the perfect life! What’s your happy place? Home – my singing career takes me all over the world but I love being on the sofa with my fella. Describe yourself in three words. Workaholic, happy and perfectionist. • See Jane’s…

Is this series similar at all to the one with James Nesbitt in 2014? No. It is very different from the first series. The idea of someone being missing is at the centre of it, but the characters are different. What’s it been like working with Keeley Hawes? Brilliant – she’s a real laugh. We start with the joyful situation where we get our daughter back but, as the story goes on, various things happen that are very traumatic. It’s important to blow a gasket somewhere else, and it helps that Keeley is really funny. Playing Sam requires you to wear a large prosthetic scar (we can’t say why). What’s it like? Yes – it goes right down my back. At first, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to…

She thrives on controversy and her love life has always been dogged by bombshells and scandal. And after weeks of hitting the headlines with outrageous claims about her personal life as she promotes her latest tell-all book – including that she was “obsessed” with ex-husband Peter Andre and never wanted to leave him – it seems Jordan has once again found herself at the centre of a storm. MYSTERY MEET-UP Closer can exclusively report that the mum-of-five had a mystery night-time meet-up with Geordie Shore star and notorious womaniser Scotty T, 28, last week while in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear. This was just a day before claims surfaced that the former glamour model had received a phone call from former TOWIE star Mark Wright – who she’s been linked to…

1999 “Ladette” Zoe Ball was pictured smoking with a bottle of JD on her way to her wedding… 1999 The loved-up couple married in Somerset a year after they met partying in Ibiza. 2000 They had Woody (pictured) – who’s now 15 – and swapped partying for family life. 2003 The couple split briefly when Zoe confessed to having an affair with DJ Dan Peppe. 2010 After a stint in rehab, the pair, here with Woody and Nelly, now six, sorted out their problems. 2015 Norman forgave Zoe after she kissed boyband member TayTay Starhz, 22, at a Christmas party.…

Rumours that Cheryl is expecting her much longed-for first baby refuse to go away – and her mum Joan Callaghan did little to silence the whispers when she was pictured buying pregnancy pillows last week. The images of Joan shopping in Mothercare came just a week after Cheryl’s management shared an intriguing pic of her just from the waist up, while boyfriend Liam Payne – who she started dating last December – proclaimed himself to be “the luckiest man in the world” on his Twitter bio, further fuelling speculation. HUGE COMMITMENT Meanwhile, the 33-year-old singer’s recent appearance in a promotional video for L’Oréal prompted fans to claim her “fuller face” was further proof that she is expecting. But while everyone is left to speculate, insiders reveal One Direction star Liam,…

Violent hairstylist Tracie Andrews made headlines in 1996 when she was found guilty of stabbing to death her partner Lee Harvey after claiming he was killed by a stranger in a road rage attack. When Lee met Andrews at a nightclub in 1994, he couldn’t believe his luck at bagging the glamorous single mum. However, after embarking on a romance, Andrews started to become more and more possessive. Her jealousy caused the couple to split a number of times during their two-year relationship. But every time the pair had a big argument, Andrews would persuade Lee to take her back. By 1996 Lee had become isolated from his family, and even didn’t attend his sister’s wedding. Things reached boiling point a few weeks later as the pair had a blazing…

Anyone who saw Kristina Rihanoff strut her stuff in Strictly Come Dancing’s tiny sequin two-pieces knows she has a body to die for. But she confesses that since giving birth to her first child, Milena – known as Mila – with her former rugby player boyfriend Ben Cohen in June, she has struggled to get back to her pre-baby weight. However, unlike most celebrity mums, the professional dancer refuses to stress out about getting back into shap . LOSING WEIGHT SENSIBLY She explains: “It’s unfair that there’s so much pressure on women to look a certain way. There’s a pressure to bounce back after having a baby. I’m not like that – I’ve put on a few pounds. I don’t think I’m going to get back to the same shape…

His eight-year marriage to Billie Piper ended in May – and, last week, Laurence Fox bravely opened up about his struggle since the split. He said: “’I haven’t slept for six months – even with sleeping pills. I go to bed the same time, same bed as the kids and just lie awake, sleeping two or three hours.” Now pals say the actor, 38, has been blasted by Billie, 34, for playing the “victim” in their divorce. She lashed out at Laurence – who she has Winston, seven, and Eugene, four, with – for suggesting that her friendship with her ex-husband, Chris Evans, was to blame for their split. Laurence has admitted that he struggled with Billie’s relationship with TV presenter Chris – who she married in 2001 at 19…

They had one of the longest-standing Hollywood relationships, but last week Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber announced they were ending their 11-year romance. The shock news came after the couple – who have sons, Alexander, nine, and Samuel, seven – recently starred together in film The Bleeder . And friends tell Closer while the split is amicable, Naomi, 48, is heartbroken and leaning on her pal Nicole Kidman, who had a high-profile marriage split with Tom Cruise in 2001. A source says: “Nicole has spent many evenings with Naomi assuring her that she and the kids will be fine. She knows what it’s like to have a long-term relationship with kids break down in the full glare of publicity. Nicole’s been speaking to Naomi lots and offering advice.” Naomi and…

She’s making her TOWIE comeback this week, and Gemma Collins appeared to show off a more confident attitude to her figure recently while filming scenes in Marbella in a black bikini and a leopard-print kaftan. And while the size 20 star has always embraced her curves, she’s admitted she’d love to be a size 14. She said: “I obviously don’t want to go down to a size 10 or 12, but I’m a 20 now and if I was a 14 or 16, I feel it’s something I could do. I wouldn’t do a DVD taking me down to a size 10, even for £5m, because deep in my heart that’s not who I am.” Since joining the show five years ago, 5ft 9 Gemma – who dropped to a…

She’s currently on our screens in Bear Grylls’ latest survival show, Celebrity Island, and Lydia Bright – who has always been happy with her size 8 figure – says the endurance of the challenge saw her lose a lot of weight. Lydia, 26, tells Closer: “I lost a stone and a half on the show. I lost my boobs within four days. As well as no food, we barely drank any water and I nearly cried when I saw myself in the mirror because I looked like a 60-year-old woman.” But after getting back to a healthy weight in time for TOWIE filming, the star wowed fans in a nude one-piece on set last week. Meanwhile, despite recently being linked to rugby player Thom Evans and co-star Jon Clarke, Lydia…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Chloë Moretz Vs Daisy Lowe It’s an eye-catching Marc Jacobs number, designed to turn heads – and both actress Chloë and model Daisy look incredible in this stripy wrap-around frock with a plunging neckline. Chloe showcased it first at August’s Teen Choice Awards, adding a velvet belt to accentuate her waist and finishing the look with open-toe shoes. Daisy chose the dress for a London Fashion Week party last month, playing it safe with court shoes and a boxy black bag. VERDICT Both ladies look fab – but Chloë’s chic, strappy heels and stylish belt earn her extra stripes this week, making her the winner! FLORAL DREAM! Lottie Moss, 18 Kate Moss’ younger half-sister is becoming big news in the fashion world – and this embroidered…

 When Monica Michael first graced The X Factor in 2014, she appeared to be the poster girl for star quality confidence. But, behind closed doors, the singer was struggling with low self-esteem and admits her eating habits were “out of control.” Monica tells Closer : “I was on national TV in front of millions of people and I didn’t feel confident. My family saw me come off the stage crying. I just didn’t want to feel like that any more.” Last year the star was back on the show – but, this time around, she’d just had a gastric band fitted in a bid to tackle the weight problems she’d struggled with her whole life. LAST-RESORT SURGERY At her heaviest, in April 2015, the 5ft 10 singer weighed 15 1/2…

Freeze for 5 hours, or overnight, laying the chunks flat on a tray or plate, so they don’t stick together.

There’s a buzz around the idea that having a tidy home may help you have a tidy mind. Marie Kondo’s book The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up became a bestseller. It suggests that de-cluttering your home and organising your life reaps emotional and mental rewards. It’s not rocket science – pretty much all of us know that rushing around looking for our keys in the morning and ending up late for work is an unnecessary stress, but for some reason many of us repeat this pattern. The great thing about getting organised is the amount of free time you can gain rather than wasting hours looking for missing items or stressing out – which can then be used for more relaxing pastimes. Giving clothes you never wear to charity and…

Dream job then, Gino? Sometimes! People always say: “This is a dream job,” and it is. I wouldn’t want to do anything else but, some days, you film for 15 hours and think, “I want to go to bed.” It’s so hot – it’s bothering me now – I’m knackered as we’ve been travelling… Not that I’m moaning, by the way – I’m just saying that sometimes it’s not always great. So it’s not a jolly holiday then? People see half an hour of a show of me going around Italy. They think, “That’s the best job in the world – with sunshine, cocktails, and delicious food…” But it takes two days of filming – constant shooting and travelling, you know. Packing is another thing – we always stay at…

EASTENDERS FAREWELL, LES AND PAM Les and Pam say “enough is enough” and prepare to leave the Square – but not before hearing some big news (on Tuesday). Les is having doubts about moving away, but Pam is itching to get packing – especially now Billy seems to be doing such a great job at the funeral parlour. Claudette has some advice for Billy – show ’em who is boss. Les is impressed, but perhaps not Honey after Billy has an alarming suggestion for her… HOLLYOAKS PRISON CONFESSION?

She wants answers, but Sienna doesn’t seem in a position to give any… Elsewhere,…

She’s famed for her love of bad boys, having dated former TOWIE Lothario Mark Wright on and off for 10 years, and following a turbulent four-year relationship with Jake McLean, who was previously jailed for aggravated burglary. And last week, Lauren Goodger was linked to another criminal when reports claimed she was dating Joey Morrison, 30 – who’s currently serving a 17-year prison sentence for a series of offences, including burglary and drug dealing. GETTING CLOSE The 30-year-old star was quick to distance herself from the claims and posted a lengthy denial on Instagram with a photo montage of Joey, writing: “This boy Joey Morrison is my friend and I have known him for many years... I’m getting a lot of messages saying I’m friends with a violent burglar…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “Zoe and Norman were party animals when they fell in love and married but, as they’ve matured, their lives have gone in different directions. Norman avoids alcohol and lives a quieter life – and, due to the nature of their jobs, with Norman touring as a DJ and Zoe working in London, it’s unsurprising that they’ve grown apart. “Zoe doesn’t appear to be having a midlife crisis, it’s more of an awakening. Apparently, there were cracks in the marriage for years and she may, at 45, have finally realised it was now or never to break away from the quiet life with Norman. “A lot of people in long-term relationships might long for more excitement, but it’s usually something missing from their own life rather…

Like any first-time mum, Stephanie Davis is understandably nervous about giving birth – but last week she revealed her anxieties had reached worrying levels. Writing on her blog, Steph, 23 – who insists she’s expecting former boyfriend Jeremy McConnell’s child, despite his claims that the timing is not right for the baby to be his – revealed she’s been having extreme nightmares. She wrote: “I’m great in the day, but when I go to sleep I’m reliving everything and I’m waking up in panic. I don’t know what’s happening, but I’ve been having the worse night terrors ever! They’re horrendous! The other night my legs were gone and I was holding on to the side. My mum had to come and rub my back.” And friends say the former Hollyoaks…

‘Brad and Ange have made it clear they’re going to war’ Their split may have caused shockwaves across the world when it was announced two weeks ago, but now insiders tell Closer how the aftermath of their bitter break-up is causing ripples across Hollywood as many industry movers and shakers divide into two camps. As damning reports about the actors continue to surface and the pair reportedly wrestle over custody of their six children, pals say A-listers and film industry executives have been forced to pick an allegiance with Brad Pitt, 52, or Angelina Jolie, 41, which is said to be having a devastating effect on many personal friendships. GOING TO WAR Sources tell Closer how A-listers including Gwen Stefani, Dustin Hoffman, Kate Hudson and Meryl Streep have offered support…

For 10 years, Jackie and Tommy Marcink lived a normal married life with their two children. But, unknown to Jackie, her husband was harbouring a secret – he longed to be a woman. Incredibly, not only has Jackie, 37, accepted her husband’s transition into a woman called Tara, she says their sex life has blossomed and their relationship is stronger than ever. A STRONG BOND Jackie, who lives with Tara, 34, and their two children, Elias, 11, and Evie, four, says: “I had no idea how unhappy my husband was and how badly she wanted to be a woman. “When she told me, I was stunned. It took a while to accept. But I loved her and wanted to keep our family together. After Tommy became Tara I actually fancied…

In her 19 years, Terri Calvesbert has endured over 50 operations to repair her damaged body after she was injured in a house fire. Terri was just 18 months old when the blaze started after her mum accidentally left a lit cigarette by her cot. The toddler was given little chance of survival and firefighters initially thought she was a charred doll when they found her. AMAZING BRAVERY Against all odds, Terri pulled through and despite her life-changing injuries she has shown incredible bravery and a positive attitude. Over the years, Closer has documented her inspirational journey, following her progress after operations to rebuild her ears and fingers, and sharing her landmark birthdays. Now the courageous teen reveals she has moved out of the home she shared with her dad…

Their relationship is going from strength to strength, with rumours swirling that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom will get engaged soon. And to show how committed Katy, 31, is to the actor, she’s putting a massive effort into bonding with Orlando’s five-year-old son, Flynn, from his three-year marriage to Miranda Kerr. Insiders tell Closer that Katy even planned their recent trip to Disneyland in Shanghai for them to spend quality time with Flynn. The pair documented their time at the park on Instagram, with Katy describing Orlando, 39, as her “prince.” A source says: “The trip was Katy’s idea – she told Orlando she needs to bond with Flynn. Pals say Katy has even been talking about moving in with Orlando, so is going all-out in her “step-mum” role. Katy…

She looked amazing in Marbella last week, but Georgia Kousoulou has admitted suffering confidence issues in the past. After battling anxiety when she joined TOWIE in 2014, the 25-year-old said it led her to lose her curves, with her co-star boyfriend Tommy Mallet encouraging her to bulk up. Over the past year the size 8 star has toned her figure in the gym, without ditching any food groups. She said: “As much as we can all get carried away with the latest expensive fad health trend, bread is an important part of eating healthily and is the perfect fuel for my workouts.”…

She made her X Factor debut over the weekend as she joined Louis Walsh at the Judges’ Houses stage in Ibiza to pick the groups who’ll make it to the live shows, but Alesha Dixon is keen not to be blamed if the public don’t agree with her. Alesha, 37, says: “I was there to advise Louis, so I had no say in who he eventually chose. I’m not taking any responsibility. Louis was hilarious and crazy!” The singer, who’s mum to Azura Sienna, three, with her boyfriend Azuka Ononye, caused shockwaves in the showbiz world in 2012 when she spectacularly quit her Strictly Come Dancing judging role to defect to Britain’s Got Talent. FEELING PROUD But despite the move, Alesha – who won Strictlyin 2007 – is still a…

“AFTER YEARS OF DOING BREAKFAST RADIO, I feel pretty sparky first thing so am an early riser [Lisa was a radio host for seven years until 2015]. I start my day with a glass of hot water and lemon. Then I whizz together a smoothie with almond milk, banana, raspberries, beetroot powder and chia seeds. It gets me prepared for the day. I LOVE DOING PILATES, so I do a 50-minute class most days. It makes you feel long, lean and supple. I’LL JUMP ON THE TRAIN INTO CENTRAL LONDON and spend my afternoon going between jobs before grabbing a healthy lunch. I might have a photo shoot, or meetings for my QVC jewellery range, plus I have a beauty column and a blog so I’m always glued to my…

Where do you shop? I can’t remember the last time I pushed a trolley around a supermarket – I haven’t got time so I do a Sainsbury’s online order. I pick up fruit and veg from M&S and nuts from Aldi – they’re great value. I spend £150 a fortnight for me, my husband Steve and my two children [Amara, five, and Zac, seven]. I try not to waste food. What is your typical daily diet? Breakfast is usually after my 6am workout – I’ll have yoghurt mixed with linseeds, goji berries, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Lunch is a boiled egg and tuna salad, then dinner is fish with broccoli and spinach. I’ll snack on Slender Blend protein bars, as they’re sweet enough to stop me from reaching for chocolate…

“I graduated in March with a degree in health care and a foundation in complementary therapy – which covers alternative treatment such as homeopathy and acupuncture – but I’ve found it hard to get work and am saddled with student debts of £21k. I also have £6k of credit card debts split over three cards; one at 39.9% APR, one at 35.9% and one at 18.9%. I’d love to do a Master’s in business innovation or film media and television, but I’d end up with £10k more debt so that’s not possible. “My husband Daniel is a music composer and producer so his work is unreliable. I’ve been doing shifts as a masseuse in salons, but it’s not what I had in mind when I did my degree. Work is…

Did you watch the first series of The Missing, starring James Nesbitt? I must admit I hadn’t seen it – watching drama is a busman’s holiday for me! You’ve usually already read the script or you know everyone in it. I tend to watch more documentaries. But once I was sent the script, it was one of those things that I just couldn’t stop reading, like Line Of Duty [which Keeley was also in]. What happens in this series… My character Gemma and Sam [played by David Morrissey] get their daughter back after 11 years. They have a brief moment of happiness, but then things go wrong. It’s impossible to say any more without giving things away, but it has a terrific thriller element… Your character isn’t exactly happy –…

Inbetweeners’ star Emily Head (daughter of Anthony Head, no less) rocks up in the village this week as Chrissie’s scheming sister, Rebecca… Describe your Emmerdale entrance… It’s rather dramatic – I arrive at the dementia charity fete in a helicopter! I step off in a glamorous dress and a red hat, to the astonished gazes of everyone… Is your arrival welcome? My dad is very happy to see me, but perhaps my arrival is less welcome to Chrissie… Rebecca does have a good relationship with her family, but it’s inevitable she’ll cause havoc. She’s definitely a force to be reckoned with. You must be thrilled to get this role? They are such a lovely group of people at Emmerdale and it’s just been so much fun.…
