Getting back in shape after a baby can be a hard slog, so it’s refreshing to hear even for sporting legend Jessica Ennis-Hill it was no mean feat. The Olympic heptathlon champion says she swapped her tough exercise regime for quality time with her newborn, and candidly admits her first track training session was tough as she found herself at the back of her running group. Meanwhile, Sam Faiers tells us she didn’t pressure herself to get bikini-fit after having baby Paul and puts her transformation mainly down to her healthy new lifestyle as a mum. It’s always worth remembering that reclaiming your post-baby body is a marathon, not a sprint……

As her bandmates rally round, Jesy Nelson has found herself at the centre of speculation concerning the real reason she had to pull out of two gigs – forcing Little Mix to cancel both shows in Belfast at the last minute. A source says: “Jesy’s inner circle are really worried about her at the moment. She’s under a lot of pressure and all the speculation about her health is tipping her over the edge. She’s feeling really emotional and is devastated she couldn’t perform for her fans.” EMOTIONAL ON STAGE On their Instagram account, the band announced last week: “Little Mix have unfortunately had to cancel both of their arena shows in Belfast. Sadly Jesy is unwell and unable to sing, and as a result both the matinee and evening…

Courteney Cox was left heartbroken last December when she called time on her 18-month engagement to Johnny McDaid. But last week she had every reason to smile again as she was photographed shopping in Malibu with the Snow Patrol rocker, 39, and her daughter, Coco, 11, from her marriage to actor David Arquette. Days later the 51-year-old Friends actress’ spokesperson confirmed they had reunited, saying: “They really care about each other and they are spending time together.” A source says: “Courteney has never stopped loving Johnny, they’ve stayed in touch since their split and gradually got closer again. She’s made attempts to get him back and they’ve been trying to work through their problems and spent Easter together.” But pals say there’s already a hiccup for the couple with Courteney…

To mark the end of the Strictly Come Dancing tour, Georgia May Foote and her dancer beau Giovanni Pernice, 25, jetted off to the Maldives for some R&R – and to show off their super-toned physiques. The former Corrie star, 25, posted several pictures of the couple, who got together in January – including one of her sipping from a coconut. The star, who is playing Holly Golightly in the stage show of Breakfast At Tiffany’s from September, says that, despite working out, she still enjoys her food. She says: “I try to watch what I’m eating, but still enjoy a bacon butty at weekends or a McDonald’s. I usually have quite a high-protein diet because I go to the gym, so I might have eggs in the morning and…

She announced the end of her three-year marriage to Professor Green, aka Stephen Manderson, only a month ago – and now insiders say Millie Mackintosh is finding comfort from her ex Hugo Taylor. Millie, 26, broke up with Hugo, 29, after he allegedly cheated on her during a six-month romance in 2011 – but the pair were seen cosying up together in Dubai last week. A source says: “Millie’s been leaning on Hugo since the problems in her marriage surfaced – it was always a sore point between her and Stephen. Millie’s told friends there’s a part of her that’s never stopped loving Hugo.” Hugo broke up with his girlfriend of two years, Natalie Joel, in 2014 and is reportedly still single. A source says: “Pals have warned Millie her…

Animal and fashion lover Lauren believes you can have style with substance, which is why she’s teamed up with PETA to encourage people to donate their furs to the charity. The fur will then be used as bedding for animals at rescue centres, given to the homeless or sent to refugee centres. Lauren – who visited Hopefield Animal Sanctuary in Brentwood with Closer – says: “I’ve always worn fake fur. What is the need to wear real fur? UrbanCode and Unreal Fur do really realistic faux fur and it’s still warm and looks good. It's ridiculous that Kim Kardashian wears real fur – I don’t understand why she needs to. “When PETA showed me the videos of what happens to animals when they are skinned for fur, I was shocked.…

As TOWIE newcomers, all eyes are on Chloe Meadows and Courtney Green – but they’ve been shown how to deal with all the attention by Megan McKenna. Courtney, 20 – who has known Megan and Chloe for years – says: “It’s hard being in the public eye, but Megan has been great with advice. She told me not to read any of the comments on social media. I don’t read them now; it’s not worth it!” Chloe, 23, and Courtney first hit headlines with their stunning bikini bodies in February, and they admit being on TV has made them take up an exercise routine. Chloe – who is a size 10 – says: “I hated seeing myself on TV. I never used to be into fitness but now I’ve got…

TRADE SECRETS… Ever wondered why your under-eye concealer looks really cakey? Skin is thin and delicate under eyes and, as a result, it needs a creamier, oil-based concealer, as opposed to one packed with silicones, which can be quite drying. This concealer contains coconut oil and comes in 10 shades. Sorted. ON TRIAL This week we tried natural-coloured nail polish from £3.99 to £13.99. Here are our top three. PRETTY BUT TOUGH This see-through ballet pink was pretty with pale skin. Combined with the matching base coat, there was no need to add a top coat, and the look still lasted for a good five days. GREAT FOR COVERAGE For mannequin-looking nails, or to mask nail imperfections, this pinky nude was just the ticket. The colour wasn’t murky, and it…

Where do you shop? I tend to do a big shop at Tesco once a week, but every few days I’ll head to Marks & Spencer. It’s my favourite store – I trust what they put in their packets. I spend over £100 a week. What’s your typical daily diet? I start the day with Weetabix, blueberries and Greek yoghurt. Lunch is a tuna salad or a jacket potato, and dinner is either salmon with stir-fried vegetables or Bolognaise with courgetti. I’m out and about during the day and evenings, so it’s not always easy for me to eat healthily, but I’m not a big drinker. I snack on Ryvita topped with Philadelphia Light and tomatoes. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I’m not keen on oysters – I…

You’ve been filming in Borneo – is that as glam as it sounds? A boat broke down in a mosquito area so we were eaten alive, I got a bad chest complaint with the heat and my legs were covered in ticks and leeches. But I’m used to horrible things; at Battersea (Cats and Dogs Home) when I’m filming For The Love Of Dogs, I’ll be doing a piece to camera and I’ll lean over and put my hand in a dog turd… We hear you met your soulmate…? I know what love at first sight is now. I was at an orangutan rehabilitation centre and I met three orphaned baby orangutans. One of them, Archie, didn’t like strangers, but he was straight over to me. He sat on my…

Closer’s psychologist Emma Kenny says: “Whenever someone is forgiven after an infidelity, it can have the effect of making them think boundaries are more flexible and that they can get away with unacceptable behaviour. It will be painful for Tess if Vernon’s been in touch with the same woman, and he will have been very foolish. “Tess clearly values their relationship and may want to make it work at whatever cost. But Vernon needs to realise he isn’t young, free and single any more. If they do stay together, then Vernon needs to give Tess access to his messages to reassure her it won’t happen again. This will help rebuild trust. But they ideally need relationship counselling to work through their issues.”…

‘Cheryl is sexing up her image to keep Liam fixated on her’ They’ve spent the past three weeks holidaying in LA together – and now as Cheryl Fernandez-Versini settles into her new romance with Liam Payne, insiders say she’s come up with an iron-clad plan to stop him ever wanting to stray. SMITTEN FANS Pals say Cheryl, 32, whose four-year marriage to footballer Ashley Cole imploded after a string of infidelities, is finding it difficult to handle the way other women approach Liam. Her increasing insecurity about dating the 1D star has led her to warn him not to get too close to adoring fans, as revealed in a photo of two fans trying to cuddle up to him last week. In the awkward Twitter picture, Liam, 22 – who…

When Zayn Malik released his It’s You music video last week – with a lookalike of ex Perrie Edwards – Perrie, 22, vented to friends that Zayn needs to stop making digs or she’ll be forced to retaliate. A source says: “Perrie saw red when she heard how she looked like the girl [actress Nicola Peltz] in Zayn’s video. She feels it’s one thing after another with him and it’s really upsetting her. “Perrie’s sick of being used and now she’s ready to fight back. She’s written a song which sets out her side of the story. She’s thinking about writing a tell-all book this year – she’s been offered a fortune for it and is being pushed into saying yes by Zayn’s lack of respect. Perrie says she’ll get…

Emily Carter-Lucas, 22, from Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, felt pressurised to send graphic pictures aged 15. She says: “Sending sexy pictures to boys was common among my friends when I was at school. Sexting seemed cool and all the popular girls did it. I liked a boy in my year and my friends said it would give me an advantage if I sent him a suggestive picture. “We started texting and the conversations soon became sexual. My friends encouraged me to tell him about sexy things I’d like to do to him. I felt out of my depth but I wanted the boy to like me. After a month I sent him a picture of me in my bra. He liked it but nothing more happened between us. I felt like I…

She’s no stranger to surgery, having admitted to Botox, lip fillers and, this year, having a nose job. But last week Charlotte Crosby, 25, sparked speculation she’d had new cosmetic procedures as she debuted a dramatic new look. With blue contact lenses, arched eyebrows and plumper lips, fans were quick to criticise her, with one writing online: “Her face actually looks painful. Especially the bit below her nose, and her lips.” Another wrote: “Wow. It really worries me that young women increasingly think this looks good when they don’t even look human any more; noses this slim with eyebrows this elevated, teeth this fake with lips this rubberised don’t even exist naturally on planet Earth.” Last month, Charlotte admitted to Closer that she understands why people get hooked on going…

She’s not had a minute out of the headlines recently as her custody battle with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie over their 15-year-old son Rocco rages on. But last week there was finally some positive news in Madonna’s life as reports emerged she’s dating her latest toyboy – 25-year-old model and dancer Aboubakar Soumahoro. Insiders say the 57-year-old singer is hoping Aboubakar – who has connections in London and previously lived and worked in the city – can help her reconnect with her estranged son. A source says: “Madonna is convinced that her new toyboy will help her get Rocco to reconnect with her because they’re close in age and both love London. She hopes the romance can also be an excuse to move to the capital and be close to…

Despite being accused of editing a bikini picture recently, she looked incredible on the beach in Hawaii last week, and pals reveal Britney Spears is religiously sticking to the workout she used 15 years ago. A source says: “Britney was in the best shape of her life when she did the Slave 4 U video in 2001. She exercised for an hour a day solely on her abs and was determined to get back to that. She does the same routine now, which includes crunches, planks with knee thrusts and hip twists, which she combines with yoga. She’s religious about doing it daily.” The 34-year-old singer is a self-confessed fast-food addict and is often seen eating burgers and fries with her sons, Sean, 10, and Jayden, nine – from her…

When actress Lisa Riley revealed her new size 16 body on holiday in Singapore last week – after dropping seven dress sizes from a size 30 –no one was happier for her than her former dancing partner Robin Windsor. Speaking exclusively to Closer, Robin, 36, says: “Lisa’s half the woman she used to be. She’s always been bubbly and happy, but now she has a real zest for life. I’m so proud of her for dropping the pounds slowly and sensibly, not through a gastric band or some fad diet.” The ex-Emmerdale star, who played Mandy Dingle until 2001, has said that nearly losing her dad – who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last year – made her take her health seriously. Sadly, her mum Cath died of cancer…

The pair were flirting up a storm on social media last year and now friends have confirmed that soap stars Sophie Austin and Shayne Ward are officially an item, as insiders tell Closer how the actress turned to the former X Factor winner for support during her painful marriage breakdown. The Hollyoaks star, 31, recently split from her husband, Graeme Rooney, after six years together, despite only getting hitched last July, and is said to have found love again with the 31-year-old Coronation Street heart-throb. A source says: “Sophie and Shayne have a lot of mutual friends and have always got on really well. When Sophie started having marriage troubles, she turned to Shayne and he was an incredible support to her. “Shayne was always respectful of the fact Sophie…

hen Lisa Roden W started dating a man 46 years her senior, most people said it wouldn’t last. Yet despite proving their critics wrong – this year the couple will celebrate 10 years together and they now have three children – Lisa and Richard have found themselves victims of vicious internet bullies. Trolls have targeted Lisa’s Facebook page, branding Richard a paedophile. They have also cruelly blamed Lisa for causing their youngest daughter’s autism because she chose a much older partner. AGAINST THE ODDS Richard became Britain’s oldest dad of twins when Lisa gave birth to Emily and Ruby in February 2009. Two years later, when Richard was 73, he and Lisa had another daughter Madison, now five. Sadly, Madison was diagnosed with autism and developmental delay aged three. Full-time…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Mel B vs Khloe Kardashian If variety is the spice of life, Mel B proved she’s positively sizzling in this raunchy twist on the LBD. The cutout cleavage-flasher was also favoured by Khloe Kardashian, who teamed it with simple black courts and a gold bangle. Hot stuff. VERDICT Mel B goes for maximum bling, but Khloe’s pared-back approach wins it this time around. STYLE CRUSH! SILVER LINING Kristen Bell, 35 She’s famous for voicing Anna in Disney's Frozen , and Kristen looked every bit the wintry princess last week at an LA movie premiere. Keeping it simple in a plunging, lacy Reem Acra dress, she completed the look with silver heels and minimal jewellery to keep all eyes on that frock. FROCK FAUX PAS Coco Austin,…

She was the first of the Geordie Shore girls to transform her body – dropping 3st in 2012 – leaving co-stars Vicky Pattison and Charlotte Crosby following her by overhauling their own figures. But Holly Hagan, 23, admits she wants to follow their lead by having a nose job like Charlotte and getting into TV presenting like Loose Women panellist Vicky. Speaking exclusively to Closer , Holly, now a size 10, says: “I was the first Geordie Shore girl to lose weight. I was really big. I hated how I looked and I was unhealthy. I felt rubbish, so I decided to start eating healthier and exercising. “Now I go to the gym five times a week, as well as watching what I eat. For breakfast I’ll have porridge with…

In short, no. Every relationship has a honeymoon period, where everything your man does is endearing and you feel like the luckiest girl in the world. A couple of years later, that noise he makes while eating makes you want to throw your dinner plate at him and, while you know you love him, you can’t help criticising pretty much everything. Sound familiar? It’s time to take action. ‘ME MYSELF AND I’ What’s your worst habit? Running my lines and playing out scenes while SARAH: “DON I’m in the shower. When’s the last time you said “I love you”? To my beautiful mum, an hour ago. She’s my best buddy. I’m an affectionate person, so I always tell my family and friends how much I love them. If you were…

“I earn £700 a month waitressing for 35 hours a week and I study beauty therapy two days a week at college. I live in a house share with six others and pay £400 per month rent, including bills. The rest of my money goes on food and travel, but I eat on a budget. I will qualify as a beauty therapist in two years and should be earning around £21,000. In the meantime, I’m just getting by and find it hard to save because my outgoings almost equal my income, but I want to buy my own apartment by 23. I’m making sure I keep out of debt – I rarely buy clothes. Are there any schemes to help me get on the property ladder and how can I…

He’s been friends with Kim Kardashian since 2011 – and after ongoing rumours of their secret feuding, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton says Kim and her husband Kanye West won’t be together much longer. Speaking to Closer in LA, Perez – real name Mario Lavandeira – claims: “Kim and Kanye are definitely going to split this year. They’ve got two kids, which I think has kept them together, but they also have two huge egos – which are a nightmare when you put them together. Their relationship was built on lots of sex and celebrity and, like other power couples such as Beyoncé and Jay-Z, they know they’re more powerful together. Being at that level is really hard to sustain, especially when the spotlight’s constantly on you and you start to…

Newly engaged Danielle Lloyd looked happy and refreshed last week as she spent time enjoying herself on a family holiday in Dubai with her fiancé, Michael O’Neill, and her three sons. But despite their smiles, pals tell Closer the holiday was tainted by a row over Danielle’s insecurities after she told her electrician beau she’s scared he’ll cheat on her like her footballer ex Jamie O’Hara. A source says: “Danielle loves Michael and has no reason to think he would cheat, but she’s scarred by her past. It’s starting to affect her relationship and she’s becoming clingy and questioning him all the time. “Danielle’s even warned Michael about nights out with his friends and is concerned about him having a stag night as she’s scared he might have a drunken…

With the news that Dermot O’Leary will be returning as presenter of The X Factor after his one-year hiatus, all that remains to be confirmed is the judging panel line-up. And show insiders tell Closer that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is heading-up the decision-making process alongside her boss, Simon Cowell, and is keen for former judge Sharon Osbourne to return.

Mariah, 46, is documenting the Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour with new reality show Mariah’s World. But reports have already emerged that she has been “barking orders” at the crew, turning up late for filming and demanding full editorial control.

A source says: “Gwen’s told friends they’ve spoken about getting married and she has her suspicions Blake’s asked her dad, Dennis, if he can marry her.” Pals say Gwen’s even talked about the kind of wedding she’d like with Blake, who’s been married twice before.

In the TOWIE world of backstabbing and bitching, one friendship that’s just as sincere off-screen as it was on, is that between former flatmates and co-stars Lauren Pope and Lauren Goodger. Following their public break-ups in 2011 – Lauren Goodger had split from fiancé Mark Wright, while Lauren Pope had ended her engagement to Kirk Norcross – the two Laurens joined forces and briefly moved in together. And after Mark married Michelle Keegan last year, the 33-year-old former model reveals her pal – who has had an on/off romance with Jake McLean since 2012 – would love to forget the past.

She’s well-known for her feisty attitude, rants and boyfriend dramas – and was even given a warning for “threatening and aggressive” behaviour during her stint in Celebrity Big Brother in January. But as she becomes a permanent fixture on TOWIE, Megan McKenna, 23, is ready to show her more vulnerable side. Speaking to Closer, she reveals: “I’m loving the show. I want people to see me day to day, being normal. I’m not always throwing things and screaming. I’ve got a fiery side and I will stand up for myself, but I won’t be breaking things on TOWIE. It’s all to do with the people I surround myself with; I don’t always have drama and I have calmed down.” Last month, Megan got into an on-screen spat with co-star Kate…

She tells Closer : “My body’s definitely different because it’s gone through such a big change.

The main symptoms of IBS are cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and/or constipation. These come and go and can be triggered by mood, food and time of the month. I strongly believe that IBS is a collection of different things, rather than one condition, but we’re still figuring it out. The best thing you can do is get to know your IBS and work with your GP to find the right remedy. ID YOUR FOOD FOES Fatty foods, spicy foods, alcohol and strong coffee are all known triggers, but as the symptoms of IBS are similar to those for more serious things like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis or, in rare cases, ovarian cancer, don’t diagnose yourself – go to your doctor. Keep a food and symptom diary and jot down what you…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… I didn’t have any but I set up a car boot business selling people’s old things. I’d earn up to £100. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Working in a pet shop when I was 12, cleaning out the hutches. I earned about £3 an hour. I SPENT MY FIRST PAY CHEQUE ON… After I started on Hollyoaks in 2001, I hit the shops in London and enjoyed a Champagne lunch. MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS… A bright pink bike; it was £600!

He’s been a mentor on The Voice UK since it launched back in 2012 and now Black Eyed Peas singer Will.i.am (real name William Adams) admits he’s fallen in love with England – specifically, Essex. “The UK feels like my adopted home,” he tells us. “I’m always here.

He says: “I don’t understand the expressions Lydia comes out with.
