As the nights gradually draw in, now is a good time to start getting into the best possible shape for the colder months. That doesn’t necessarily mean losing weight; it means getting fitter, stronger, and making home a cosy sanctuary. So, this week, we’ve got some fab inspiration for you. Starting on page 52, our interiors special is packed with great home ideas. Take a peek inside Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Tanya Bardsley’s modern house, pore over the very best designer-style pieces on the high street and, if you fancy treating yourself, we’ve got an exclusive 25 per cent off Kelly Hoppen’s Home range! We’ve also spoken to reality star Casey Batchelor, who tells us how she transformed both her mind and body with yoga and, on page 62,…

She may have welcomed her fourth child just last month, but Danielle Lloyd has revealed she’s already looking forward to having another – and is planning on using gender selection to make sure she has a little girl. Danielle, 33, told Closer earlier this year that she would seek medical assistance to ensure she could determine the sex of her next child, saying, “Michael wants another baby, but I wouldn’t risk another boy – we’ve looked at gender selection online so we could do that.” The former glamour model gave birth to Ronnie – her fourth son and first child with fiancé Michael O’Neill in September – and has sons Archie, seven, Harry, six, and George, four, with ex-husband Jamie O’Hara. When asked last week if she would pursue the…

 She was recently seen on a day out with her two youngest sons in Blackpool, but fans were quick to notice that Coleen Rooney still wasn’t wearing her wedding ring. ❛ SHE IS MAKING IT CLEAR SHE’S NOT JUST GOING TO FORGIVE HIM ❜ Her appearance follows speculation about the state of Wayne and Coleen’s marriage after he was arrested for drink-driving last month while in a car with another woman. The footballer, 31, was issued with a two-year driving ban and 100 hours of community service after admitting to being three times over the drink-drive limit. Laura Simpson, a 29-year-old single mum who was in the passenger seat that night, was reported to have claimed that she enjoyed “kissing and cuddling” Wayne – something she later denied saying. While…

 They’re renowned for shocking their fans, but last week proved to be one of the most memorable yet for the Kardashian clan after Caitlyn Jenner confirmed daughter Kylie’s pregnancy; just days later, reports emerged that Khloe Kardashian was also expecting her first child. ❛KIM’S PRETTY EMOTIONAL – SHE JUST WISHES THEY COULD ALL BE PREGNANT TOGETHER❜ Kylie, 20, is reported to be almost four months pregnant with rapper boyfriend Travis Scott’s child. While Khloe, 33 – who’s been open about her heartbreak over failing to conceive in the past – fuelled speculation she was also to become a mum after posting a cryptic message on social media, with basketball star boyfriend Tristan Thomas, 26. BABY BOMBSHELL And amid the furore that followed, older sister Kim, 36 – who appeared to…

Closer’s dating columnist Rebecca Twomey, 33 – who’s been single for three years – says, “I believe the way we’re trying to find love in the modern age – editing our pictures and carefully crafting responses on WhatsApp while avoiding real life interaction – is not just fake, but has also created a genuine fear of intimacy among us. “From the handful of short-lived flings I’ve had, I’ve noticed a sad trend that, as soon as it begins to get more serious and you begin to show the real you, they simply move on. No one wants to hear about your bad day – they're only looking for the high and fun of those exciting first few dates. Because it’s so easy to set up the next date, why would…

She’s mum to two young boys with footballer Wayne Bridge, and has an amazing body to boot – now Frankie Bridge tells Closer how, after coming second on Strictly in 2014, she’s turned to Pilates to stay trim. The 28-year-old also credits exercise for keeping her depression at bay, and says, “Working out keeps me sane. I do reformer Pilates, on an exercise machine, which I really enjoy. You get so fit doing Strictly; now I do Pilates to keep it up.” Frankie also tells us she’s backing her former Saturdays bandmate Mollie King to victory in this year’s series. “Mollie’s going to go very far in the competition. She’s determined, ambitious and hard-working,” she says. The star, who married Wayne, 37, in 2014, juggles their two sons – Parker,…

They’ve been flaunting their romance all over the world for the past three months – going on a string of luxurious holidays, partying on yachts and wining and dining at the finest hotspots. And as Topshop heiress Chloe Green, 26, was spotted wearing a sparkler on her wedding finger in LA last week, pals say she’s secretly planning a lavish £10m wedding to her ex-convict beau Jeremy Meeks, 33, famously dubbed “the hot felon”. A source says, “Chloe wants to go all-out for her nuptials and says money is no object. They’re planning to fly family and friends to Barbados on a fleet of private jets and have a week-long wedding there – taking a super yacht out for two days and renting a private island nearby for an after-party.…

Dehydrated to the point of exhaustion, an eight-year-old donkey called Sudher stumbles while carrying heavy sacks of coal. He falls against jagged rocks that line the crumbling walls of a mine 5,000 feet underground. His thigh is cut and bleeding, but he’s forced to keep working. It’s something that photographer and animal welfare worker Freya Dowson, 33, has witnessed many times in the past three years while raising awareness of the plight of donkeys in north east Pakistan’s coal mines. Freya, from London, is haunted by the suffering she’s witnessed. She says, “The air was stale and dank, the only light was often from the miners’ cigarettes. The donkeys were dehydrated and worked beyond exhaustion, I saw skeletal donkeys with open wounds. “They were expected to work relentlessly for hours.…

She gave a tell-all interview last week gushing that she’s the only woman to tame legendary ladies’ man Spencer Matthews – and now the man himself tells Closer that he can’t live without Vogue Williams. The former Made In Chelsea Lothario filmed Celebrity Hunted with Jamie Laing in June, when he was allowed no contact with Vogue for 10 days – and is now in Greece filming Five Star Hotel alongside Joey Essex and Lydia Bright. However, the two find it hard to be apart for too long – and Spencer admits that, unlike previous relationships, they barely bicker because they understand each other’s work commitments. “Vogue was sorely missed when I was filming Hunted,” he reveals. “Not being able to tell her simple things, like how much I miss…

This series, your character Georgie Lane is on a relief mission following an earthquake in Nepal… We used locals as extras, and that added a lot of authenticity. The country itself was amazing. I’d never been there before and I didn’t know too much about it, but I thought it was beautiful. Do you have any time for sightseeing? Not really. We work 11-day fortnights: we have a weekend off, then work six days, then have one day off. On my days off I just like to do normal things – sit around and have a nice lie-in! In Nepal, we went to see the temples before we had to leave, which were amazing. How tough is it to be away from home for eight months? The first leg is…

SOFA, SO GOOD “We had lots of furniture specially made, including the velvet sofas. They are by Arighi Bianchi and are seriously comfy.” FEELING ZEN “We have one of these metallic Buddha heads either side of the TV – they really pull together the living room.” ❛I LOVE THE COLOUR GREY AND REALLY LUXURIOUS FABRICS❜ LIVING SPACE “We spend a lot of time in here as a family – it’s calm and cosy, with plenty of room for us all to sit in front of the TV.” DINING IN STYLE “The kitchen gets lots of natural light, and we have plenty of glass and neutral colours in here. I really love this space.” WINDING DOWN “We have gym equipment and a hot tub in the basement – it’s such a…

KEEP IT SIMPLE Kelly tells us, “I’m a big advocate of neutrals and have even been called the Queen of Taupe! I believe these tones will stand the test of time. If you want to use colour, I’d advise adding bold accessories that can be easily changed.” LEARN YOUR LIGHTING Kelly explains, “Lighting is key to adding a magic touch to a room, so it’s important to get it right. Harsh light can ruin an atmosphere, so to avoid this opt for a mixture of ceiling lights, floor lamps and up-lighters.” FINISH WITH FLAIR Kelly says, “The easiest way to add personality is to use accessories. Build a collection of multiple pieces, like frames and vases [see flowers above], and mix textures and materials to create depth and contrast.” GET…

FAMILY MATTERS HELP YOUR MAN WITH HIS BODY-CONFIDENCE ISSUES Male celebs have stripped off to promote male body confidence. Here, Emma discusses how you can support a man in your life Recently we’ve seen a growth in male eating disorders, “bigorexia” (where someone sees themselves as small, despite being muscular), exercise addiction, depression and suicide. It isn’t surprising; social-media is full of the “ideal” male form and these unrealistic images are making men insecure. Over the past couple of years, I’ve worked with my eldest son on his body confidence. The truth is, he doesn’t like the way he looks and he criticises everything about his body. Unsurprisingly, he’s a common statistic today, and he’s a reminder that while traditionally body-confidence issues have been linked to girls and women, this…

Going off grid when you’re famous probably isn’t easy. What was your plan? STEPH, 51: It was to rely on other people – and wing it! DOM, 52: Definitely to do it comfortably, because we weren’t going to be rummaging around in hedges or walking [instead, the pair got about in open-top cars and the like]. We went very much on the basis of, “If I didn’t know where we were, then how can they (the Scotland Yard experts) possibly know where we were?” Did you intend to drink all the way through the 14 days? DOM: Not especially. Although we did have a lot of good lunches, and there was one night where we literally stayed with people we had never met before. We sat by their pool and…

When Steph suggests a night in by the fire, she actual means “help me clean my faulty wood burner”. To be fair, when Alan’s boyfriend complained about his hairy toes, he had a point… Self-confessed Greggs fan Scarlett is delighted to find her sausage baguette is now served on a 3-for-1 deal… Woof!

Presenter Carol Vorderman’s face sparked concern last week after her pre-recorded appearance on The One Show aired, with viewers accusing her of going over the top with fillers. One viewer Tweeted, “Too much filler Carol! I would have expected you would take on ageing gracefully,” while others cruelly compared her to the late surgery addict Pete Burns. Carol, 56, hit back over the hurtful comments, saying her appearance was the result of “medication, no sleep [and being] heartbroken” following her mother’s death. But with other celebs like reality stars such as Amy Childs, Marnie Simpson and Farrah Abraham all admitting to using fillers, it seems the treatment is more popular than ever. IN DEMAND According to the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons [BAAPS], there’s been a 91 per cent…

 She proudly showed off her growing bump while on holiday in Majorca last week, but as she counts down the days until her baby’s arrival, pals say Ferne McCann – who’s due in December – is struggling being alone while pregnant. ❛SHE MISSES HAVING A MAN BY HER SIDE AND WOULD LOVE SOMEONE TO LOOK AFTER HER❜ The 26-year-old former TOWIE star announced she was expecting in April – just two days after her now ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins, 25, was arrested in connection to an acid attack at a nightclub in east London. Collins is due in court next week and, along with another man, has pleaded not guilty to five counts of causing GBH with intent, and 11 counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH). EMOTIONAL Last week,…

Her bum looked suspiciously bigger as she strode through an airport last week. And pals say Kris Jenner’s boosted behind is the result of having implants earlier this year. A source says, “Kris works incredibly hard to stay in shape, but the one thing she’s failed to do with exercise is get her ‘dream bum’, like her daughters. “She was always conscious of her ‘flat’ behind, so after watching the increased attention her kids have had thanks to their shapely bottoms, she decided to go under the knife. “She had the surgery in June and is really happy with the results.” The family are famed for their big behinds, which are reportedly a result of fat injections, although Kim, 36, has repeatedly denied rumours she’s had surgical help to get…

❛SHE NEEDS ALL THE PUBLIC SUPPORT SHE CAN GET RIGHT NOW❜ As multiple reports claim Cheryl has replaced Sinitta on this year’s X Factor for the Judges’ Houses stage, pals say it’s prompted a fresh war between the former Girls Aloud star and the ’80s singing sensation – who told her BFF Simon Cowell to “kiss my black ass” after axing her. Sinitta, 53, has been Simon’s sidekick on the show for years and, earlier this year, she warned “perfect” Cheryl to “stay in her lane” amid rumours the music mogul had asked her to be his guest judge. A pal says, “Sinitta is fuming and sent Cheryl a message saying she felt betrayed by her and how she’d broken the “girl code”. NOTHING PERSONAL The source adds, “Cheryl insisted…

Both Ant McPartlin and his wife Lisa Armstrong were pictured looking downcast near their home in north London last week, amid ongoing rumours of a possible split after 13 years of marriage. Ant, 41 – who spent two months in rehab earlier this year to battle an addiction to alcohol and painkillers following knee surgery – was spotted without his wedding ring as he walked their dog, while sources reported that Lisa, 40, was “still upset” with him for “putting her through hell”. The I’m A Celeb! and Britain’s Got Talent host recently revealed the strain his behaviour had put on his wife, who works as a make-up artist on Strictly. He said, “I’ve put Lisa through hell with mood swings and depression and how it affects you. I’m very…

She was one fifth of Girls Aloud and is now a married mum-of-two, having stepped out of the spotlight to build a family. And now Kimberley Walsh tells Closer how she loves having playdates with former bandmate Cheryl and her son Bear, and that she’s thrilled to be experiencing motherhood alongside her best friend. She reveals, “Cheryl’s an amazing mum, as I knew she would be. I see her all the time and the boys are always together. – Cole is pretty much trampling over Bear at the moment, though, so I have to hold him back because he’s crawling and Bear’s not at that stage. It’s so lovely that we’re going through it together.” Kimberley, 35, is mum to Bobby, three, and nine-month-old Cole with long-term partner and former…

She had a tumultuous two-year relationship with Spencer Matthews on Made In Chelsea , which culminated in a toxic break-up amid cheating allegations and vicious confrontations. And five years on, Louise Thompson tells Closer that she doesn’t believe her ex-boyfriend – who cheated on her in her own bed and began dating co-star Lucy Watson just a few weeks after their split – can ever really change. She reveals, “I don’t know anything about his new relationship [with Vogue Williams] – but someone told me he’s saying he’s a new person and this one’s different. But I think it’s the same old story! I suppose you have to give him the benefit of the doubt until he gets caught out again – he’s innocent until proven guilty.” The reality star,…

JUST LANDED LIGHTEN UP BARRY M LIQUID CHROME HIGHLIGHTERS WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT: This range of tinted highlighting drops create a reflective sheen on cheeks minus any telltale sparkle. WHY WE LOVE IT? Even the teeniest amount of this liquid glow is enough to perk up cheekbones and can easily be built up for a stronger strobe. We’ve dotted over our blusher and it also works nicely mixed with foundation for a healthy dewy finish. CELEB SECRET Summer may be drawing to an end, but there’s no reason to wave goodbye to sunkissed skin.

‘I’m a born worrier but yoga has helped so much’ Just nine months ago Casey Batchelor was feeling stressed, bloated and generally a bit frazzled. But after deciding that enough was enough, the reality star completely overhauled her lifestyle and transformed her mind and then her body. “I was feeling so sluggish and worn out, stuck in a cycle of going to parties and then eating junk food the next day,” she explains. “I wasn’t big but I did feel bloated and my skin wasn’t great. Mentally, I was always feeling so stressed and on edge.” But for Casey, 33, things turned around dramatically when she started regularly attending yoga classes. She says: “For the past few years I’d been going to the odd class and enjoying it, but it…

KADY How much do you spend? I tend to shop every few days on my way back from the gym or work, so around £80-£120 a week. I usually go to Tesco. Describe your daily diet… I try to eat a lot of protein in the morning before I work out, so breakfast is smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with avocado or a bowl of fruit with Greek yoghurt. Lunch is sea bass with veg, or a chicken salad; for dinner, I often have chicken fajitas or a prawn stir-fry. I snack on houmous with celery and cucumber sticks, or have rice cakes with peanut butter. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I’m a little bit intolerant to cow’s milk, so I do have to rule out cheese and…

‘ I TURNED MY PASSION INTO POUNDS’ Danielle Wilkinson, 34, from Rotherham, launched her mobile tanning business this year, and now employs 11 people. Here’s how she did it Mum-of-three Danielle had a tough time ten years ago when she was living as a single parent and struggling financially. “I had moved away to escape a bad relationship,” she says, “but that helped me to develop a passion to do well.” Determined to turn her life around, Danielle launched her mobile tanning business, I Love A Dan Tan (www.iloveadantan.co.uk). She now employs 11 representatives, all of whom are single mums, and the company is set to make £50k this year. “Now I’m married to an amazing man and we have six children between us,” says Danielle. “I’m able work to…

Can you tell us about your gripping new series? It’s about Britain’s child murderers. We look at the question of “nature versus nurture” and what drives these children to commit murder. All the cases are shocking. One of them is a serial killer, while another murdered someone at the age of 12. We also have a pupil who took the life of another pupil at school and we have a young boy who killed his own mother. What can we expect? It is heart-wrenching and fascinating. I do believe it’s going to open up a lot of conversation, as we look at both the facts and the emotional journeys of the families affected by these awful crimes. We also look at the science, as well as whether we’re doing enough…

❛SHE’S REALLY TEARFUL – HER MUM IS TRYING TO CONSOLE HER❜ As Closer reported last week, Kerry Katona was completely smitten with her boyfriend of two months, James English, and was already planning to have a baby with him. But now pals say the romance could be over before it’s barely started, as James, 33, has told Kerry he’s having doubts over their future, leaving her feeling devastated. A source says, “Kerry is going through heartache. She and James are having a rocky patch and pals fear they may split. She’s been really tearful and her mum is trying to console her. Kerry’s lying low and is only working when she absolutely has to.” The Atomic Kitten singer’s turmoil comes after ex-husband George Kay made explosive claims about her in…

With no law against buying fillers online, celebrities such as Jemma Lucy have literally taken matters into their own hands. The CBB star 29, shocked fans when she posted a Snapchat of herself injecting her pout in February, writing, “Just learning to do my own lip fillers.” Five months later she had it removed. Dr Leah says, “I’m concerned for Jemma. It makes no sense to take the considerable risk of self-injecting. Dermal fillers should only be injected in hygienic, clinical environments by fully-trained medical professionals, who can manage any potential complications.”…

 After a controversial few months, Jordan dropped yet another bombshell last week when she revealed she was considering donating a lung to her mum Amy, 64 – who is suffering from a terminal lung condition. ❛SHE CAN’T BEAR THE THOUGHT OF LOSING HER MUM – SHE’S THE ONLY PERSON SHE TRUSTS❜ During Jordan’s current tour, An Audience With Katie Price, her mum – who has been given a life expectancy of three to five years – hinted at Jordan’s softer side, adding, “Kate is so vulnerable and sensitive… she hates being on her own and loves her friends and family around her.” HIDING THE PAIN Jordan – real name Katie Price – caused shockwaves in the audience when she announced, “We’re talking about me giving her one of my lungs,…

She’s been struggling to get over her ex-boyfriend Joey Morrison – partying non-stop in a desperate bid to distract herself from the jailbird after failing to cut ties with him. But pals say Lauren Goodger is convinced that the secret to getting over the convict is to find another man fast – with the former TOWIE star pulling out all the stops in order to get a boyfriend. Closer previously revealed how Lauren, 31, was messaging reality stars on Twitter and going to celeb hotspots in her bid to meet Mr Right. And now pals say she’s stepped up her game entirely – hiring a dating coach, signing up to an elite matchmaking agency and even planning a holiday with the sole intention of meeting a rich man.

‘ I was surprised by how nice – and pro women – Hef was’ It was so sad to hear that Hugh Hefner had died at the iconic Playboy mansion last week – aged 91. When I was 19, I was flown out to LA to do a screen test for Playboy and stayed at the mansion for a week. While I was there I attended Hef’s 75th birthday party – it was absolutely amazing! When we pulled up there was a sign in the road that said, “Playmates at play” and [his then-girlfriend] Holly Madison was there in a bunny outfit. The parties were wild – I was rubbing shoulders with celebrities like Paris Hilton and Justin Timberlake. And I was surprised by how nice Hef was. I told…

BALANCE IT OUT Broad shoulders? Wider trousers will balance out a boxy frame, so you don’t look top heavy. SUPER SLIMMER Shiny fabrics highlight every lump and bump, so work best for slimmer figures. LAYER PLAYER Slip a turtleneck beneath a pyjama set for a pared-back daytime feel. It will make ideal workwear attire and give you extra wardrobe mileage come winter. TOP TIP Adding a belt will make this two-piece your own, while also cinching in the layers to showcase a svelte waist. CURVE SKIMMER Choose tunic-style tops or kimonos if you’re bottom conscious. A cover-up can then be worn separately over jeans – or even over swimwear next summer. TOP TIP Slogan tees or Breton tops can tone down a full-on print for daytime. PETITE-FRIENDLY Slimmer-fitting styles work…

SOOTHE CRACKED HEELS WITH NAPPY CREAM Problem areas like dry heels and rough elbows need more than just moisturiser. But rather than splash out on specific balms, mums can rejoice as nappy cream works just as well. It helps restore and hydrate skin thanks to its anti-inflammatory benefits. BOOST LASHES WITH TALCUM POWDER Skip pricey primers as, when it comes to lashes, a simple dusting of talcum powder cheats a double-effect look. After your first coat of mascara, dust a clean brush with talc and wiggle through lashes. Finish with a second coat for a fuller flutter. CONDITION SKIN WITH OLIVE OIL Legs in need of some extra TLC? Olive oil works a charm. It’s great for revitalising dry skin, leaving it smooth and nourished. If plain oil feels too…

‘WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR BODY, TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS’ A healthy-looking 30-year-old posted a glowing photo of herself, taken hours before her cancer diagnosis – proof we should listen to our bodies, says Dr C Personal trainer Vicky Veness, 30, from Cheltenham, recently shared a photo of herself looking healthy and happy, taken on the day she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She’s a nonsmoker, who eats healthily, and said her symptoms had been “brushed off as asthma.” TRY TREATMENTS Her message was that if you feel unwell, however silly you feel, see your doctor, and keep going back until you get the answers you need. I completely agree. It’s understandable that Vicky wasn’t diagnosed with cancer, because it’s far likelier that this non-smoking, healthy eating, active young woman would…

£950 For a black Belstaff biker jacket. It’s perfect for jumping on the back of my husband’s vintage Honda. £90 On a Herschel Supply waterproof parka. I love a long walk and I don’t mind the rain when I’m wearing this. £395 For a pair of burgundy Gucci loafers from Selfridges. I’m still not 100 per cent sure about them, which is why they’re still in the box. £150 On NARS Cosmetics. I recently had a splurge on their make-up range and nearly bought the whole lot! £69 For a feather necklace from a brand called Serge DeNimes. My daughter introduced me to them.…

1 OUR GIRL SERIES 3 KICKS ASS TUE 10 OCT, 9PM, BBC1 The fact that Michelle Keegan is gorgeous remains a little distracting, but there’s plenty of drama as series three kicks off.
