The difference between Jordan’s face of three years ago and now is shocking. Psychologists say that she’s trying to fix how she feels inside by changing how she looks outside. Clearly, it’s not working, as she chooses to have more and more surgery, despite the results and the awful effect on those she loves – especially her children. The real worry is that only a tragedy on the operating table will stop her. This week, our special report reveals just how dangerous cosmetic procedures can be, as three women explain how their lives were ruined by botched work. Meanwhile, some happier news – the royal baby! On page 10, we look at what life will be like for Baby Sussex, and how Harry and Meghan will blend their backgrounds of…

• Former escorts Helen Wood and Jenny Thompson wage war over differing accounts of their threesome with Wayne Rooney • Coleen devastated by ex-call girls’ claims and dreads further revelations • Worries about the idea of her boys reading it one day It will be 10 years this summer since Coleen Rooney’s world imploded when former escorts Helen Wood and Jenny Thompson revealed her husband Wayne paid them £1,000 for sex at Manchester’s five-star Lowry Hotel, while she was pregnant with their first son Kai. Last week, as details emerged of ex-call girl Helen’s new tell-all book about the footballer, it was claimed Wayne wept after romping with the hookers, because of guilt at betraying his wife. Sources revealed that Helen, 32, describes in her book, A Man’s World, how…

MEGHAN’S NEW-AGE MUM MANTRA ‘She’s into crystals, gongs & meditation’ She’s never been one to follow the crowd and, when it comes to her mummy mantra, Meghan seeks alternative therapies, according to insiders. A source says, “Meghan likes being different and alternative, but in a holistic way. She’s into all forms of healing and self-discovery, from crystal, gongs and meditation, to yoga and hip-hop. She wants to keep learning and discovering, even more so into motherhood." • KEEPING ZEN WITH MEDITATION According to reports, Meghan has meditation guru Light Watkins on speed dial. Watkins, 45, who teaches in Los Angeles and New York, offers a £750 four-day course. Most of his classes involve chanting a Sanskrit mantra. • SHAPING UP WITH YOGA, PILATES AND RUNNING Meghan is a devotee of…

‘THEY ARE STILL GROWING AND IT WORRIES ME HOW BIG THEY’LL GET’ When Fiona Hornby gave birth to her son William last July, she was too scared to breastfeed him for fear of crushing him, because of the size and weight of her bust. Fiona, 25, suffers from macromastia, a condition that means she possesses an abnormal amount of breast tissue – it also means her breasts are constantly growing. DESPERATE She explains, “Since I hit puberty aged 10, my boobs have grown roughly a cup size every year, and they’re still getting bigger. I struggle to find bras big enough, and find it hard to walk more than a few paces without my back hurting because of their weight. At the moment, the pain means I’m housebound.” The mum…

IDRIS CAN’T WAIT FOR BABY NO.3 WITH SABRINA They’ve only just tied the knot in a lavish £500k wedding, but insiders say Idris Elba is now planning to start a family with his new bride, actress Sabrina Dhowre. The actor, 46 – recently dubbed the “Sexiest Man Alive” – already has two children, daughter Isan, 17, from his marriage to Hanne Norgaard, and son Winston, five, with his second wife Sonya Hamlin, from whom he split in 2006 after four months of marriage. A source says, “They won’t waste any time trying for a baby, and he can’t wait to start a family with Sabrina. They are so loved-up and can’t keep their hands off each other.” The pair celebrated their wedding in a star-studded, three-day bash in Morocco, with…

He’s enjoyed a hugely successful acting career since rising to fame in the 1993 comedy Dazed And Confused but, despite that, Matthew McConaughey says his biggest joy is being a dad to his three kids, with wife Camila Alves. The Hollywood star – who shares sons Levi, 11, Livingston, seven, and daughter Vida, nine, with the model – says, “I’ve always wanted to be a father. I’m ambitious, I’ve got plans, but I’m a simple man. When I’m working, I’m pretty much focused on my work. And when it’s wrap time, I go home to eat, sleep, and spend time with my family.” Matthew, 49, dated Camila, 37, for six years before they married in 2012 – just two years before he scooped an Oscar for his part in Dallas…

‘I TOOK AN OVERDOSE BECAUSE I DIDN’T FEEL I COULD BE HIS MUM’ After having to terminate her first pregnancy due to severe medical complications, Catherine gave birth to her son Jake just three days after the first anniversary of the loss of her first baby. Despite Jake being a planned and much longed-for child for Catherine and her husband Chris, she struggled with severe anxiety and depression. Speaking to Louis, Catherine explained that she tried to maintain that she was coping, but, after five months, her symptoms worsened and she sought help. Concerned for her welfare, a psychiatric perinatal team found her a bed on the unit at London’s Bethlem Hospital. At the unit – one of many in the UK – therapy, medication and support is given to…

‘You’ve got to make the most of what you’ve got’ She’s set to appear in ITV’s Full Monty show this week with a host of famous faces, including Coleen Nolan and EastEnders’ Laurie Brett, to raise awareness for cancer. But while most women would find taking off their clothes petrifying, Benidorm actress Crissy Rock had no qualms about stripping off in front of rolling cameras and a live studio audience. The star, 60, tells Closer, “What an experience it was, I loved it. I’m no Vogue model, but you’ve got to make the most of what you’ve got. When I was younger, I had no cellulite or stretch marks and my boobs stood up on their own. Now, the only thing keeping them up are my bras, but who cares!”…

She’s graced countless catwalks and was repeatedly voted one of FHM’s Sexiest Women but, astonishingly, like most of us, Lisa Snowdon still dreads the thought of baring her body in summer. “When it comes to getting into swimwear, I feel the same as everyone else,” she admits. “It’s more challenging when we can’t cover up under layers and tights!” But when it comes to getting bikini-fit, Lisa – who once lived in Japan – has a bizarre yet cunning trick up her sleeve. Instead of using a knife and fork to eat, she’s started using chopsticks. “It’s weird, but it makes me eat much more slowly,” she laughs, admitting that her entrepreneur fiancé George Smart, 39, was sceptical at first. “If I’m hungry and I use a fork, I shovel…

INSIDE ANGELA’S FRIDGE • Organic eggs • Kerrygold butter • Almond butter • Blueberries • Dates • Spinach • Blue cheese • Parma ham • Tofu • Bananas • Onions • Peppers • Tomatoes • Little gem lettuce • Courgettes • Celery • Grapes • Dark chocolate • Almond milk • Oat milk ANGELA How much do you spend per week?

I’ll also have porridge, or scrambled eggs on sourdough toast, and lashings of Irish butter. Lunch is a…

ALL ABOUT YOU HOW TO OVERCOME LIFE’S SETBACKS We all experience failure at some point in our lives, but it’s how you handle it that matters. Emma explains how to cope We all experience failure, and how we react to it is very personal. If you are generally optimistic, you’re more likely to recognise that something good can emerge from the wreckage. If you’re more glass-half-empty, you are likely to see failure as confirmation of the disaster you always knew awaited. Rather than seeing it as a reason to throw in the towel, though, try to see failure as a reason to look for a different route. Acknowledge your hurt feelings – it’s natural to lick your wounds and vent. If it’s your fault, take responsibility. Blaming someone or something…

‘I’M A LOT MORE CAREFUL NOW’ Ex-lovers and dodgy accountants have ripped me off multiple times. I think it’s incredibly important to educate yourself on finances and things like tax returns. When I was younger, I was naïve with my money, especially after I left X Factor . I put my trust in people who took advantage of it and decided to treat themselves to a little extra when handling my finances. Let’s just say, I’m a lot more careful now. ‘I HAVE TARTED UP FURNITURE LEFT ON THE STREET’ When I lived in Los Angeles, litter-picking was common – where people would leave out their unwanted bits of furniture on the pavement for others to take. I found some of the most incredible things left on the curb –…

Why did you want to make this documentary? I made it because the biggest problem with having a mental health illness is the lack of talking and communication. If I break my finger, I go to accident and emergency. If I have a cold, I go to the pharmacy. If I’m broken inside, where do I go? I had to speak truthfully and share that I – like anyone else – can suffer. What is it like to have anxiety? You’re your own worst enemy; you live inside your head. Before I sit in front of a camera, no one sees what it takes to paint on a smile – and that’s why people watching this will be surprised. I might seem happy and relaxed but that’s not how I…

MUST READ Just My Type (HANNAH DOYLE) Jasmine’s love life isn’t going particularly well, so her best friend Mila steps in and decides that Jasmine needs a new “type on paper” – because her dating history is one long line-up of absolute fools. Mila challenges Jasmine to look once, if not twice, at the guys who wouldn’t normally fit her “type” and see if she can find a keeper. With nothing to lose, Jasmine accepts with surprising results. A hilarious read! BEST DAY OUT Cadbury World Afternoon tea If you’re suffering chocolate withdrawal after Easter, Cadbury World is here for you.

DIANA’S FORMER BUTLER PAUL: ‘This child will be different to other royals’ Paul Burrell reveals how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s child is already breaking the royal mould The arrival of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s baby has had the nation enthralled – even more so as the couple are intent on forging their own parenting path, and sidestepping a few royal traditions. Princess Diana’s former butler Paul Burrell believes their baby – whose birth had not been announced as Closer went to press – will be “different to every other royal, in every aspect”. He was one of Diana’s confidants and worked for her for over a decade, seeing Princes William and Harry grow up until her untimely death in 1997, when they were 15 and 13 respectively. Paul,…

Mental health worker and Ex On The Beach reality TV star Natalee Harris, 30, from Cwmbran, south Wales, went abroad for surgery to boost her behind. She says, “Last summer, I flew to Turkey, full of excitement about having a Brazilian butt lift. I hated the fact that I was so straight up and down, and wanted a smaller waist and bigger booty. I compared myself to other Instagram and reality stars and felt self-conscious that my body wasn’t as good as theirs. “So, when I was offered free treatment if I promoted the procedure, I jumped at it. I’d seen the clinic promoted by another influencer, and thought it would be fine – now I wish I’d done more research. “When I got there, the doctor rushed through the…

She reportedly turned to her ex Liam Payne for advice after her return to music – following a four-year hiatus – was panned by critics late last year, with her single Love Made Me Do It plunging to No.48 in the charts after just one week in the Top 20. And after Cheryl, 35, was viciously trolled again last week, pals say she’s once more turned to the former 1D star. The singer shared a snap of herself leaning against a lamppost in downtown LA dressed in a leather crop top and over-the-knee boots to promote latest single Let You , prompting a vicious online backlash – with thousands of trolls “liking” comments saying she looked like a “hooker”. One critic said, “Were you aiming for the hooker look? If…

Next month marks 12 years since Chanelle Hayes first appeared on our screens in Big Brother. Back then, she was a tiny size 8 and, after leaving the famous house, she launched a career in glamour modelling, releasing a series of sexy calendars showing off her figure. But she’s since endured a long battle with her weight, describing her relationship with food as “horrific”. Over the years, she’s yo-yoed between a size 6 and, up until recently, an 18, after a back injury left her unable to exercise and on the verge of diabetes. SLIMMING DOWN Since “finding her mojo” again last November, Chanelle, 31, has lost over 2st. Last week, she posted a snap showing off her slimmed-down figure, with the caption, “My progress so far. It’s spurring me…

LEONARDO DICAPRIO “I auditioned [for the role of Jack in Titanic]. I was pretty confident that I had it. I didn’t get it. In Wolf Of Wall Street, I stole some things back from Leo. That whole “fugazi” scene? He told me that joke when we first met and I stole it [for the movie].” SARAH JESSICA PARKER “I had a crush on her from her 1992 movie Honeymoon In Vegas, and I let her know that on the last day of filming Failure To Launch. She was married so it would have been inappropriate [to pursue it], but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t still have a crush on her.” J.LO “She is a very, very hard worker. When Lopez turns up to work, she really goes to work. I…

FIND A HOBBY TO REDUCE STRESS Painting was a great therapy for me, while I recovered from cancer. I found myself becoming lost in the colours and it allowed me to escape and forget what was going on around me. I found peace creating my own world. HANG ON TO SOMEONE WHO SUPPORTS YOU Never settle for anything less. Julian is a bit stuck in his ways, but we never argue, and we agreed to never try to change each other, and that’s important. DON’T EVER WORRY ABOUT AGEING You shouldn’t fear getting older. Remember that, when you’re young, you’ve got more to live up to. But when you’re older, life is different because you’re a lot more comfortable in yourself.…

Lily Collins, 30 She’s often on the Best Dressed list, and this matching floral co-ord is another winner for the British actress. We love the ’70s feel and the Victoriana inspired high-necked blouse. Gorgeous. Taylor Swift, 29 The singer could have come straight out of a fairy tale in this contrasting yellow and pastel pink dress. All the details, from her embellished headband to her natural make-up, combine for an exquisite look. Suki Waterhouse, 27 Model Suki went back to the ’90s in this crop top and high-rise jeans combo. She has an amazing figure, but the top half is over-fussy and her hair ages her. Kelly Clarkson, 37 The hot-pink tone and form-fitting style of this dress suited the singer. However, the voluminous sleeves were a little too distracting.…

Lisa will be bringing us the best looks on the high street when she presents from the catwalk at This Morning Live next week. Here are her secrets to getting summer-ready. She says, “We all dread getting our pale legs out! • First, you have to shed that dry skin by exfoliating with a dry body brush. • Next, apply fake tan, which will make you feel so much better about having your limbs on show. It minimises imperfections and thread veins, and gives you a confidence boost. • Lastly, add a pop of colour with a mani/pedi. When it comes to clothes, you can feel just as empowered in the summer too. It’s all about finding the right length to suit you, then adding cover-ups, like denim jackets. Remember…

Campaigner Deborah James, AKA the Bowel Babe, was diagnosed with bowel cancer at 35. She’s been talking about her experiences, and encouraging people not to let embarrassment kill them. The truth is, even when people see blood in their poo, they are too shy to tell their GP, or they think “it can’t be cancer”. That’s sadly not true; my female best friend died of it aged just 37. DISCUSS YOUR FEARS Deborah lost a lot of weight, was passing blood, going to the bathroom constantly and felt shattered – all common signs of bowel cancer. A colonoscopy showed a stage 3 tumour, which she had suspected. I always ask my patients what they think is wrong. If it’s completely ridiculous, I explain why, and if not, I investigate, to…

I have some big (or it could be little, depending on your opinion) news… For the first time in three years, I’m going on my very own Bridget Jones-style mini break with a guy. It’s someone who I’ve been seeing sporadically since Christmas, but as we live some 500 miles apart, it’s never quite got serious. Of course, it may not be the distance. Perhaps neither of us are really that into each other, or we don’t want to invest too many feelings when we’re living in different countries – or we could both just be happy taking things super slowly. Whatever the reason, I just want to enjoy time away with someone I get on with, just as I would a friend. But not everyone in my life sees…

£2.30 For a coffee. I grabbed a Vanilla cappuccino from Starbuck’s on my way to theatre rehearsals. £2,000 On a new sofa from DFS for my flat. It’s a fabulous corner one with a chaise lounge attached to it. £100 On a fully sequined black and gold suit from ASOS. £80 For make-up to help cover all my tattoos while I’m on stage. It was a necessity! £200 On a brand-new funky touchscreen microwave from Russell Hobbs. • Jaymi is playing Joseph in the UK tour of Joseph And The Technicolor Dreamcoat. Visit Kenwright.com…

If it wasn’t enough excitement for us that Kat and Kush are being happily sandwiched together, Cupid is also busy aiming his bow at other randomly matched couples this week. Mick (great to have the Chief Geezer back) tries to match-make one of Linda’s pals, but inadvertently ends up pushing Denise and Jack together. You read that right. Less surprisingly is Max possibly having his eye on Mel (who is miffed about Jack and Denise). A tangled web.…

What made you want to do this? I’ve known Bear (Grylls) for about 10 years and he’s always asked me if I would do one of these trips, but I’ve always had other commitments going on. Finally, we were both free at the same time, and I definitely wanted to have a go. He’s an inspirational guy and, when you spend time with him, you always feel more positive about the world. Are you an ‘outdoorsy’ type? I’m not outdoorsy like he is. I don’t own a cagoule… I don’t go on camping holidays, so I don’t wake up and think I would like to do a marathon in the woods. I’m happy being outside with a cup of tea, and I like being in the sea – but that’s…

Oh, Louise – so we’re not the only ones who do a “vampire” impression every time we eat with chopsticks. Vicky realises there’s something in all this chat about climate change during a quad bike ride around The Town Moor in Newcastle… PARIS HILTON Irony alert: has anyone actually told Paris that her only job IS shopping? EMILY ATACK Relax, Emily, that’s perfectly normal. After watching EastEnders , we always stomp around the house shouting, “Shut it, you slaaaaaaag!” GERI HORNER As she prepares to “warm up her vocal cords” during rehearsals for the upcoming Spice Girls tour, we have two important questions for Geri. Is that box soundproof, and where’s the lid? Georgia and Nicole reveal a shocking addiction to cocktails while wired up to drips of Aperol Spritz.…

‘SHE’S PRAYING THE PROCEDURES WILL SETTLE DOWN, BUT FOR NOW SHE’S HAVING TO REASSURE HER KIDS’ Psychologist Dr. Becky Spelman says, “Katie seems to have an addiction problem with plastic surgery, and one big concern is the effect it could have on her kids. They may feel distressed by her cosmetic work and seeing their mum in pain. And it may be something they still struggle with when they’re older. Kids these days are growing up in an image-obsessed society. If the message they pick up from their mum is that there’s something wrong with ageing naturally or your natural features, this may have a negative impact on their own self-image. All parents need to teach their children to pursue a healthy and positive self-image. “Despite Pete’s excellent efforts as…

THE A-LIST PAR ENTING POSSE ‘SHE’LL TEACH HER ABOUT FREEZING MILK AND HOW TO HELP WITH TEETHING’ ‘Amal wants to share all her mum tricks’ Their close gang of trusted celebrity pals has been dubbed “Glamalot” thanks to the glittering array of stars, actors, athletes, stylists, movers and shakers who have become close confidants of the royal couple. And the new parents count George Clooney, 58, and his lawyer wife Amal, 41 – who organised Meghan’s baby shower – as part of their inner clique. Last summer, the royals stayed at the actor’s home in Lake Como and even got in some practice with his one-year-old twins Alexander and Ella. A source says, “The couples got close through their love of charity work and live just a 30-minute drive from…

Kirsty Adams, 24, from Glasgow, says having a boob job has ruined her life. She says, “After losing 4st, going from 16st to 12st, I felt great – except for my breasts, which had become saggy. “I was desperate to have surgery in a UK clinic to boost my confidence. So, in July 2015, I went for an uplift and implants costing £6,000, hoping to go from 40C to 36DD. I used money I’d saved from my part-time job in a clothes shop and an inheritance. “The surgeon went through the possible risks of the surgery. I trusted her, and everything seemed to run smoothly. I was in a little bit of pain when I came round but thought it was normal. I was excited to see the results. “Two…

Nora Nugent, consultant plastic surgeon and council member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), says, “My advice to anyone considering surgery is to make sure you’re seeing a fully trained surgeon. You can go on the General Medical Council website (www.gmc-uk. org) to find one, and see what their speciality is. “You should always be offered two consultations with the surgeon, and then a cooling off period. You should be informed what surgery can and can’t achieve, the recovery time, and the risks. If you decide to go ahead, it’s advised that you find out what is and isn’t covered should something go wrong, such as an infection or faulty implants. “Having surgery abroad is difficult – you may not be able to find out the same…

She looked confident as she showed off her curves in a daring outfit at a post-London Marathon party, alongside her former TOWIE co-stars. But pals say Lauren Goodger was left stung by cruel trolls, who body shamed her. One posted online, “What has Lauren done to herself?” Another remarked, “She’s not as hot as she thinks she is.” Just days later, Lauren, 32, vowed to go on a weight-loss mission, taking to Instagram Stories to say, “I had three days off and after the weekend I’ve needed it and pigged out. My back side has doubled, so back on it tomorrow.” A source says, “Lauren is used to being picked apart, but the constant negative comments are difficult to handle. She’s on a mission to hit the gym and overhaul…

Bond is back for his 25th film next April, with Daniel Craig playing 007 for the final time, and Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge polishing the script. And while it’s reignited the debate over whether a woman should next play the MI6 agent, one of the series’ most iconic characters remains Dame Judi Dench’s head of the Secret Intelligence Service, “M”. She played Bond’s superior for eight films, from GoldenEye in 1995 until her final cameo in 2015’s Spectre, yet Judi, 84, reveals she was shocked at being asked to take over a role previously played by male actors. INSECURITIES She says, “I thought it was a great idea to cast ‘M’ as a woman after so many men had played that role but, nevertheless, I did not understand why they asked…

Many new mums experience so-called baby blues in the days and weeks after giving birth. But, in rarer cases, some can experience serious mental health issues. One in 1,000 women suffer from postnatal psychosis, which can include manic behaviour, depression, confusion, hallucinations and delusions. In extreme cases, it can lead to mothers harming themselves and their babies. But help is now available at several mother and baby units across the UK. In his latest documentary, Louis Theroux: Mothers On The Edge, Louis meets mothers who live on these psychiatric units with their babies while they receive urgent medical care. Among the mums he talks to is Barbara, who sought help at the unit after running to a train station in the middle of the night in an attempt to take…

‘I enjoy the naughty side of life but I know it’s unhealthy’ ‘SET GOALS TO BETTER YOURSELF’ Oscar Wilde said, “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” I can relate to this – not that I’m calling myself a sinner or a saint! But I believe that no matter how much you f*** up, you always have the opportunity to better yourself. I was off the rails in my 20s – I’d lost my dad (footballer George Best, who died at 59 from complications due to alcohol) and was self-medicating with booze and drugs. When I was 29, I did a documentary called Brought Up By Booze, where I met people who were struggling with grief; it was a turning point for me. I set goals…

KAIA GERBER VS LADY GAGA Singer Lady Gaga and model Kaia had us seeing double when they were both snapped in the same ’80s-style Marc Jacobs suit, which costs an eye-watering £2,000. Lady Gaga dared to bare, teaming the power two-piece with slicked-back hair and smokey eye shadow, while Kaia opted for a more tailored look, adding a black vest and strappy heels. VERDICT While we admire Lady Gaga for her more daring take, the oversized design almost drowns her. So, this week, we’re giving Kaia the fashion crown; we love her sleek style.…

YOU DON’T NEED MEAT TO MAKE A MEAL OF IT... MUSHROOM AND CARAMELISED SHALLOT TART SERVES 4 • 50g butter • 7-8 banana shallots, halved lengthways • 300g closed-cup mushrooms, sliced • 2 sprigs thyme, leaves picked • 250g puff pastry STEP 1 Preheat the oven to 180°C/ fan 160°C/gas mark 4.

A new study looked into how much partners’ support can help when you try to quit smoking. More than 220 smokers who were at high risk of cardiovascular disease, or had already had a heart attack, agreed to try to quit. Results showed that, after 16 weeks, people who tried to quit as a couple were almost six times as likely to succeed, compared to people who attempted it alone. Dr C launched the Vapril campaign, encouraging smokers to try vaping as a way to quit. Check out his tips at www.vapril.org.…

THE BRAVEST THING I’VE DONE... Was giving birth to my daughter, Lillian, in December 2017. I was petrified at the time, but I’m extremely proud of myself for getting through it. I also got a tattoo of my husband’s name, Jason, on my bottom. I’d say that’s pretty daring! I HAVE NO REGRETS... Not even the tattoo of my husband’s name! I’m a big believer that all things happen for a reason and make you a stronger person. Without certain encounters in life, even the negative ones, I wouldn’t be the person I am now. THE PERSON I TURN TO MOST IS... My husband. He’s my best friend and I tell him absolutely everything – possibly too much sometimes – but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s great…
