It’s been four years since Josie Gibson transformed her body – and her life – by shedding an incredible 6st and reinventing herself as a successful fitness guru. But with refreshing honesty, Josie tells Closer on p58 about the downsides of getting her dream body, admitting: “I weigh myself every morning – I’m scared I’ll put it back on.” Josie also reveals how her dramatic transformation played a part in the breakdown of her relationship last year and may even have cost her friends. Not to be deterred, the inspirational star is now making a bold move to help find her inner happiness – as well as Mr Right. Let’s hope Josie finally finds both.…

She’s admitted that she “attracts drama” and last week Kerry Katona – who confessed to being an alcoholic in 2008 – faced reports she was drunk during a paid-for public appearance in Gran Canaria and was acting “lewd” while “downing drinks.” In a video posted online, Kerry, 35, is seen singing loudly and saying: “I only have kids depending on how much OK! magazine are going to pay me.” That same day photos also emerged of Kerry – mum to Molly, 14, Lilly-Sue, 13, Heidi, nine, Max, eight, and Dylan-Jorge, two – looking dishevelled and clutching a bottle of water. NEGATIVE PRESS Insiders say being around alcohol can often be a battle for the star. A source says: “Kerry likes to let her hair down when she can. She’s been…

Following the breakdown of her second marriage late last year there’s been little love lost between Cheryl and her estranged husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini. Earlier this year reports surfaced that JB was planning a tell-all book, which was followed by claims Cheryl, 32, had started dating current boyfriend, Liam Payne, 22, while she was still with JB. But last week there was a new bombshell when news broke that JB had moved on with Cheryl’s one-time pal Vanessa Perroncel. While JB later denied rumours of a romance with Vanessa, 39, claiming they were just “good friends,” pals say Cheryl has reached out to her former friend to try to help broker a truce to speed up divorce proceedings. HEALING THE RIFT A source tells Closer: “Cheryl hadn’t spoken to Vanessa for…

They’re one of Hollywood’s hottest young couples, but Brooklyn Beckham’s mum Victoria has warned him not to rush things with his girlfriend, Chloë Moretz. The couple, who were first linked at Paris Fashion Week in 2014 and are thought to have rekindled their romance in January, made their first public appearance together at an LA premiere last week, and were seen visiting a tattoo parlour the next day. Now pals say Posh, 42, has told Brooklyn, 17, not to get too serious too quickly with 19-year-old Chloë. A source says: “Posh really likes Chloë, but she doesn’t want Brooklyn getting too serious about anyone at such a young age, or to get swept away by his first love. “Brooklyn is set to do a photography course in New York, but…

Their five-month relationship has been dogged by arguments, splits and claims of attention-seeking – and last week Stephanie Davis was back in the headlines after claiming she’s pregnant by on/off boyfriend Jeremy McConnell. The fiery couple met on CBB in January, but split earlier this month amid persistent allegations he’d cheated. Two days after dropping the bombshell on Instagram that she was pregnant, Jeremy broke his silence to insist he would support the child, Tweeting: “If what is circulating is true, I’ll always be responsible for my actions.” But pals are concerned that 23-year-old Steph is simply desperate to win Jeremy, 25, back, despite the volatile nature of the romance. Last week the star also worryingly Tweeted then deleted a message that she was in hospital. She later posted a…

She was papped living the high life at Cannes last week – a world away from her Essex roots – and even managed to catch the eye of Lothario Leonardo DiCaprio. Single TOWIE star Chloe Sims, 33 – who is mum to Maddie, 11 – spent four days at the swanky film festival with her pal, millionaire Robert Tchenguiz, 55. MEETING THE A-LIST Speaking exclusively to Closer , Chloe says: “I had the time of my life. It was so glamorous and I partied lots! I met Leo and I was so star-struck. I introduced myself, but I played it cool and didn’t ask for a selfie, even though I was dying for one. He was really friendly and polite.” And Chloe was welcomed into the Kardashians’ inner circle. She…

‘Two weeks ago, I went into hospital to have my sterilisation reversed. It was a two-hour operation that cost me thousands of pounds – which I had to borrow – and has an 80% success rate. But the relief I feel now is immeasurable. Which is why I worry about women who choose to be sterilised. SIDE EFFECTS When I was 26 and mum to two daughters, aged 10 and five, I was convinced that I didn’t want any more children. Like Holly, the Pill didn’t agree with me – it made me moody and nauseous. I got pregnant while I was using the coil in 2012, so that clearly wasn’t a contraceptive option for me. I terminated that pregnancy – but that was traumatic and I didn’t want to…

She’s made no secret about wanting to expand her family, and after Jools Oliver confirmed her fifth pregnancy in March, she’s finding it tougher now at 41. Jools – who has Poppy Honey, 14, Daisy Boo, 13, Petal Blossom, seven, and five-year-old son Buddy Bear with TV chef Jamie, 40 – is adamant she’s stopping at five children. She said recently: “It’s a lot harder this time around as I am older, but the family is also a lot more demanding. I know this will be our last.” And it’s a sentiment Jamie shares, adding: “This will be the last one. It’s just getting ridiculous otherwise.”…

Sex and relationships expert Dr Pam Spurr says: “I think there will be a lot of women who secretly agree with Saira. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up sexual momentum when you spend all day running around after young children and you feel exhausted. But anyone in Saira’s position should think very carefully before giving their partner carte blanche to have sex with someone else. Your self-esteem may already be suffering because you feel you can’t give your partner the sex they want, but imagine how you’ll feel when you know they’re being satisfied elsewhere. An even bigger problem is if the partner who’s allowed to have flings actually falls for the other person. “Some couples do succeed in having ‘open relationships,’ but it’s rare. You need strong ground…

He’s 6ft 4 and beefed up his already impressive physique to play the lead in The Legend Of Tarzan, but hunky Alexander Skarsgård admits his co-star Margot Robbie, 25, was so physical during their on-screen romps he picked up an injury! Flashing a dazzling smile, the laid-back actor tells us: “Even though I’m fighting apes, the only injury I got was from a sex scene with Margot – she hit me! Our director, David Yates, wanted our sex scene to be really animalistic, so he was behind the camera saying things like: ‘Hit him harder! Come on!’ He kind of egged us on and wanted it to feel very primal, so she beat me up!” GREAT CHEMISTRY Despite Margot leaving him bruised, Alexander, 39 – who’s dating fashionista Alexa Chung,…

IN THE NEWS SUMMER DENIM IS LOOKING BETTER THAN EVER! Denim never goes out of style, and every year brings a new way to refresh the classic blues – but 2016 sees denim continue its fashion reign right through to summer. Rather than the frayed-edged cut-offs and faithful boxy jackets we usually fall back on for the warm weather months, this season welcomes our favourite denim pieces, but covered in high-fashion details to give them a fresh spin. From retro sewn-on badges and pretty embroidered flowers to metallic flashes and subtle sequins, there’s all kinds of designs on the high street right now that will ensure your jeans and separates are anything but basic. CATWALK TO SIDEWALK Chloé championed the rise of the peasant blouse on their spring catwalk and,…

Lisa Riley’s jaw-dropping 7st weight loss has left fans amazed – and Closer can reveal the secrets behind her transformation. The former Emmerdale actress – who has dropped from a size 30 to a size 16 in nine months – spent a week at Slimmeria retreat in Sussex last August, and lost 14lbs in seven days, which encouraged her health kick. Diet guru Galia Grainger, who runs the retreat, is full of praise for the actress. She tells Closer: “Lisa was amazing. She’s a really fun girl and she pushed herself and encouraged others. She found it hard, but she lost a stone after a week and she was crying with happiness. Since leaving the retreat, she’s gone on to lose a lot more weight because she got herself into…

“I work as a team assistant at an asset management company, earning £25k a year, but I dream of retraining as a nurse. However, I’m worried that the cost of going to university would mean a career change is simply not possible. “I’m currently studying an Access to Higher Education course (which prepares people without traditional qualifications for study at university) at home for £100 a month. I should finish in September, which means I would go to uni full-time in March 2017 for three years. I’d have to pay £9k a year in fees and I would need a student loan on top for living expenses, leaving me with about £50k of debt when I graduate. We’d have to survive on my partner David’s salary, who earns £39k as…

You’ve found the man of your dreams – but the in-laws of your nightmares. You go out of your way to be nice, always on your best behaviour, biting your lip at put-downs and avoiding telling them exactly what you think of them, but they happily carry on being obnoxious. If you can relate to this you’re in good company, because 60 per cent of women admit that they really don’t get on with their in-laws. The question is: do you keep schtum or speak up? HOW TO GET ON • TELL YOUR MAN Don’t pretend everything is hunky dory while secretly fuming. Talk it out and ask for his tips – after all, he survived being brought up by them! • RUDENESS RULE Accept rudeness and you’re setting a…

In Safeword, you tear into celebs until they use their “safeword” to make it stop… Yes – I rip celebs apart until they can’t take it any more. In this new series, we hack someone’s Twitter account and they win points by letting us Tweet things on their behalf. Carol Vorderman came on and we Tweeted that a sex tape from her past was going to be published in the papers. Her followers were really supportive. One said, “We all make mistakes,” while another wrote, “Go, Carol!” Was Carol a sport about all this?! She was great; she let us Tweet far too much. She could’ve used her “safeword” and the Tweets wouldn’t have gone out, but the celebs who come on are so competitive they let all kinds of…

EASTENDERS WILL BOBBY BE CHARGED? So, Lauren’s back (hopefully Max will be following in her footsteps pretty soon) and Devil Child Bobby has (finally) confessed to killing Lucy. Phew! How long has this whodunnit hoo-hah been going on now?! The cops get involved, and Ian’s a bag of nerves waiting to hear if Bobby will be charged (and what his beloved Jane will say if he is…) Elsewhere, Jay and Roxy embark on some crazy (dodgy) money-making scheme, and Ronnie proves once again she’s a force not to be messed with. HOLLYOAKS CLEO’S IN COURT Holly mowed down Rachel while drunk, and distraught Nathan thinks it was Cleo behind the wheel. That’s the gist of it, and so it could be problematic indeed if Nathan ever finds out the girl…

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK This is a year of learning. You need to make a conscious decision to look on the bright side, otherwise the coming year could be tedious! It’s also a year for turning the corner, so do not expect to emerge from the next 12 months exactly the person you are now. THIS WEEK’S CELEB STAR SIGN GEMINI 22 MAY-22 JUN The Full Moon and a Jupiter/Saturn clash is affecting you. Could a relationship or work partnership be changing or going to the next level?

‘Mark feels a child will help them reconnect’ Their marriage has been under increasing scrutiny recently and, as Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan celebrate their first wedding anniversary this week, insiders say while he is desperately trying to convince his wife that a baby will help bring them closer, she has her doubts. The couple have been plagued by split rumours since they uncharacteristically stopped sharing pictures of each other on social media earlier this month, even when Mark, 29, visited Michelle, 28, in Cape Town where she was filming BBC drama Our Girl . RING RIDDLE Rumours of trouble were further fuelled when the actress was pictured partying with her co-stars in South Africa without her wedding ring. Although reports later claimed Michelle had left her jewellery at home…

Colin Reah, 52, from South Shields, was Kerry’s security guard for her appearance at Sparkles Show Bar in Gran Canaria last week. He says: “Kerry was so much fun all night, the crowd were loving her and she was taking lots of pictures with fans. “She was definitely nervous before going on stage, but she only had a sip of champagne before getting up there. After singing four songs she went to the VIP bar to relax. When people bought her drinks she’d have them, she had a couple of Jägerbombs as well as some champagne. She was hungry at 2.30am so I got her some food, then at 3am she said she was tired so I put her in a taxi back to the hotel. “She was definitely a…

She’s been flaunting her new trainer, Don Brooks, on Snapchat for the past few weeks – and now pals tell Closer how Kim Kardashian’s flirty behaviour with the hunky workout guru has been causing tension with husband Kanye West. TAKING REVENGE Sources reveal how Kim, 35, who has been documenting her intense “Don-a-Matrix” workouts to fans on social media, has been using her close relationship with muscly Don to get her revenge on Kanye, 38, for describing her as “the female OJ Simpson” in his new song, THat Part . As Closer reported recently, the couple – who have daughter North, two, and five-month-old son Saint – are struggling to hold their marriage together after contant rows over Kanye’s behaviour. A pal says: “Despite continuing to display a united front,…

Bullying among children is more common than ever. Statistics released last month reveal that half of young people have been bullied in the past year, and one in five young people have admitted to physically bullying someone. The effects can be devastating – a third of all victims suffer suicidal thoughts. Tragically, last week, Polish schoolgirl Dagmara Przybysz, 16, was found dead at her school in Cornwall, after she’d complained about racist bullying. Writing on website ask. fm two years ago, she revealed that she’d suffered from “racism,” adding that “people she thought of as friends had said things behind her back.” CYBER BULLYING Liam Hackett, CEO and founder of anti-bullying charity Ditch The Label (www.ditchthelabel.org), says: “Some children get to the point where they are so mentally and physically…

It’s been a busy week when we catch up with a tanned Ferne McCann, who’s just returned from a whirlwind of parties and meetings in Cannes after landing a Hollywood movie role – and has also published a tell-all book charting her rise to fame. Looking happy and relaxed, the former TOWIE star has reinvented herself since bursting on to our screens in a blaze of arguments and relationship drama when she joined the reality show in 2013. But despite her confident attitude and slender size 10 figure, Ferne admits that she’s struggled in the past with her body image after seeing herself on screen. HEALTH KICK The star – who showed off her impressive bikini body in Cannes last week – says: “Everyone has their insecurities, and it’s a…

The rumour mill went into overdrive last week after Caprice Bourret was spotted sporting what looked like a small baby bump in Cannes. The model, 44, who has been with her partner, investor Ty Comfort, 47, for five years and is mum to Jax and Jett, both three, hit the headlines in 2013 during her first pregnancy after conceiving her son naturally a matter of weeks after her surrogate became pregnant with her first son. She had used a surrogate following a miscarriage and three failed IVF attempts. Caprice later admitted that she was raising the boys as twins and will never reveal which son she gave birth to and which was born from a surrogate. A source says: “Caprice definitely looks like she has the beginnings of a bump,…

‘EVERYTHING IS MEANT TO BE...’ It’s impossible to believe any good can come out of some of the worst things life can throw at us – but this amazing couple has proved it can. Teenagers Katie-Lily Bryant and Rian Harvey – who have both battled rare cancers – fell in love after meeting on a trip run by a charity support group. Katie-Lily, 16, was diagnosed with stage four Hodgkin’s Lymphoma last year and went through months of chemotherapy before being told she was in remission. Two years earlier, Rian, 17, had been diagnosed with aggressive Acute Myeloid Leukaemia but, despite being told he was in remission in 2014, he relapsed. He’s since had a bone marrow transplant and is now cancer-free. Despite everything they endured, the pair found their…

TV presenter Anthea Turner, 56, says: “Letting your husband sleep with another woman will never help your marriage – even suggesting it shows that there are serious problems in your relationship. This man is your husband and best friend – why would you want him being intimate with someone else? “Men can separate the physical and emotional sides of their relationships better than we can, but I don’t know any woman who’d be able to cope with an open relationship. The only thing I think this might do is kick-start Saira’s own sex drive as the reality hits home of waving her husband off to go to another woman’s house. “A lot of women have different sex drives to their blokes, especially as they get older, which can be…

She looked sensational during her first appearance at Cannes in 15 years last week, but pals have told Closer that, behind her glam facade, Kate Moss was hiding her heartbreak after ordering toyboy, Count Nikolai von Bismarck, to go to rehab. Shortly before she arrived in France, reports surfaced that the supermodel, 42, had chucked her 29-year-old boyfriend out of her home after “erratic” behaviour during a week away in the Cotswolds – which allegedly ended with him hallucinating. A source says: “Kate is heartbroken and right now, she doesn’t know if they’re even together. She reached her wits’ end in the Cotswolds and told him that, unless he went to rehab, she couldn’t be with him and refused to subject her daughter [Lila Grace, 13], to his behaviour. “He…

‘Wild animals aren’t for our entertainment’ Paris Hilton recently apologised after animal rights activists condemned her for taking a photo with a baby orangutan, and Justin Bieber was also criticised by animal rights group PETA after being pictured posing with a tiger that was allegedly hired for his dad’s engagement party. I absolutely adore animals, and there’s no way I would ever consider them entertainment. I’m shocked that some celebrities think that they are. I love Justin Bieber, I really do – but hiring a tiger for a party is just not on. How can that ever be fair on the welfare of the animal? He has enough money to hire out a tiger hologram if he wanted one that badly, and that would have been cruelty-free. My British bulldog…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Julianne Hough vs Sarah Paulson The jury’s still out at Closer HQ over this quirky semi-sheer crochet peasant frock, with velvet detailing, but nonetheless both Dirty Grandpa actress Julianne and The People v OJ Simpson star manage to somehow pull it off. While Julianne teams it with black strappy heels and wavy locks, actress Sarah goes for a satin Jimmy Choo clutch and simple courts. But it looks like both ladies are due a roots touch-up! VERDICT It’s a close one between these two, but Sarah’s edgier make-up and classic shoes just win it. STYLE CRUSH! LOOKING CLASS Mia Wasikowska, 26 She plays the angelic leading lady in Alice Through The Looking Glass and Mia Wasikowska stole the show at the Madrid premiere in this floor-sweeping…

THE VERDICT Cheryl and model Alessandra stepped out on different sides of the globe in this boho-esque coat from Isabel Marant (£2,105). We are in crazy, stupid love with this cover-up, but Alessandra’s sunnier mash-up is a more exciting look than Cheryl’s safe all-black ensemble. THE VERDICT Former Made In Chelsea star Millie and soap star Tracie charm the red carpet in this slinky Amanda Wakeley creation (£995). Tracie keeps her look traditional with ruby nails and glitzy earrings, but Millie’s tan, sleek hair and Grecian arm bangle add a more modern side note. THE VERDICT Pop star Rita and artist Zoë – aka Mrs David Schwimmer – are twinning to the max in this covetable Gucci shirt-and-skirt set (£745; £990). While we love Rita’s casual vibe in Stan Smiths…

TRADE SECRETS… Smudged eyeliner and messy mascara can be a nightmare – here, make-up artist Zoe Peplow shares her top tip for picture-perfect peepers. “Rather than trying to wipe away excess mascara or wobbly liner while it’s still wet, wait for it to dry,” she says. “Use a cotton bud to gently tickle it away. The fibres pick up the product, rather than smearing it – I recommend Muji’s cotton buds as they have a pointed tip and aren’t too fluffy.” ON TRIAL This week we tried highlighters priced from £9.99 to £19.50. Here are our top threeÉ 1 ON–THE–GO GLOW This creamy crayon made precise application a doddle and balanced out skin tone to create an even and natural-looking veil of shine, without having to blend in. 2 PERFECT…

Losing weight when you’re surrounded by food all day sounds tough, but chef Sophie Michell has succeeded. The Ready Steady Cook chef and best-selling author realised her weight had crept up after seeing a photo of herself taken at her engagement party last summer. She says: “I’d put on 1½st by falling into bad habits, eating burgers, chips and crisps. I’d always been a size 10, now I was a 14-16.” Sophie, who’s Executive Chef at Belgraves Hotel and Pont St restaurants in London, shares the recipes she used to lose weight in her book Chef On A Diet (£14.99 Kyle Books). Here are her top tips… CUT DOWN ON SUGAR If you always have one teaspoon of sugar in your tea or coffee, try half a spoon instead, then…

Where do you do your weekly shop? At Waitrose, and at some small delis near my home in Leeds. Describe your daily diet… I like avocado, eggs and sweet potato pancakes for breakfast, and for lunch I’ll have salads, tuna or chicken ramen noodle soup. For dinner I like to eat at different restaurants, usually sushi, noodles or Italian food. When I cook I often make fish stew or roast chicken with loads of veg, such as chickpeas and cauliflower. I snack on dried mangos, cashew nuts and crisps. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I don’t really like yoghurt. What’s the strangest thing you eat? Bee pollen [soaked and added to smoothies] for its health benefits. What would you cook to impress someone? If I was trying to…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… 50p for washing up and £5 for cutting the grass. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Working in a café at Avon Valley in Bristol when I was 17. I got £20 per day. I SPENT MY FIRST PAY CHEQUE ON… A pair of Nike Air Jordan trainers for £110. THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN IS… My PlayStation 4, which I bought after my stint on The X Factor in 2014 – it cost £300. THE LAST THING I BOUGHT WAS… A meal at Prezzo with a special someone. We got a nice bottle of Prosecco, too – I spent about £70 in total. EVER MADE A FINANCIAL MISTAKE? I’ve invested around £5,000 into my EP. It isn’t out yet, so I haven’t got any revenue back…

What are you scared of? Spiders and people crawling towards me - I blame watching The Grudge as a kid for that. What’s your worst habit? Swearing. I try to tone it down but I just can’t. Ever had a near-death experience? Last year I went on a helicopter ride round the Grand Canyon and our plane had to do an emergency landing because we were caught up in a thunderstorm. Describe yourself in three words… Loud, cynical, fun-loving. How do you cope with conflict? I’m not afraid to confront someone, but if people are arguing I become so awkward; I never know where to look. • Hollyoaks, weeknights, 6:30pm on Channel 4…

Malin Andersson, 23 Make-up artist who was on Take Me Out (but didn’t get a date). She knows some of the Made In Chelsea and Geordie Shore lot and says: “I had to pay on a date once, which I wasn’t expecting.” Scott Thomas, 27 Scott’s twin brother is Adam Thomas (Emmerdale’s Adam Barton), and his other bro is Ryan Thomas (Jason in Corrie). He says: “I had my heart broken at 21 and I’ve been single ever since.” Zara Holland, 20 The current Miss Great Britain, who almost got to go on C4’s The Jump this year. She says: “I met Victoria Beckham once – she was lovely.” Tom Powell, 24 The Welsh barman used to do “personal security” for Gaz from Geordie Shore. He says: “I can make…

She broke her silence on her “toxic” on/off two-year romance with Jake McLean last week, now pals say Lauren Goodger is set to complete her quest for the perfect body with bum implants to mark a fresh start. The reality star, 29, who shed 4st last year, has told friends her “dream booty” will help her become a “British Kardashian.” A source says: “Lauren has always been conscious of her flat bum, especially after her weight loss, and was desperate to have implants, but Jake said it would look ridiculous. Now she’s single, she’s determined to get her dream booty and says she wants extra-large implants to help get her noticed and boost her career Stateside. She loves the Kardashian look.” The former TOWIE star, who has recently regained some…

‘She’s terrified of getting – and looking – old’ She loves courting controversy and relishes being in the limelight – and last week was no exception as Jordan paraded her figure in a flesh-baring dress at the LGBT awards. Her racy outfit is just the latest in a long line of headline- grabbing moves for the former glamour model. Jordan – aka Katie Price – also appeared on Loose Women in what appeared to be a grey wig last week, just days after she revealed she’d contemplated aborting her disabled son Harvey, 13. And two weeks ago she spoke openly about her sex life, crudely discussing using “vegetables” and “spit” as sex aids. INSECURITIES Insiders reveal the mum-of-five’s attention-seeking behaviour is masking her deep-rooted insecurities as she struggles to accept…

Gordon Ramsay caused a stir last week by announcing that his 41-year-old wife Tana was pregnant with their fifth child. Now insiders tell Closer how Tana – mum to Megan, 17, twins Holly and Jack, 16, and 14-year-old Matilda – is trying to persuade Victoria Beckham to follow her lead. BEST FRIENDS Tana, who’s due in September, has been close to 42-year-old Posh for years and they’re often spotted together or with their husbands, Gordon, 49, and David, 41, who are also pals. A source says: “Tana told Victoria she was pregnant a while ago and urged her to try for a fifth so they could do it together. “Tana knows Vic has been on the fence for some time, so she hopes falling pregnant at 41 might help persuade…

After years battling drug addiction, financial issues and love life disasters, Danniella Westbrook was all set to make a triumphant return to EastEnders. This followed a stint in the CBB house earlier this year in which she finished fifth place. But last week her comeback appeared over when reports emerged she’d been axed after just four episodes – something she denied on Twitter, saying: “I had two weeks work 2 do @bbceastenders a funeral to shoot. Nothing with Peggy or Grant. I was not sacked.” In an interview, Danniella, 42, who played Sam Mitchell in the soap, said: “I’d have liked to have been there longer.” But insiders say during filming there was tension on set including when Danniella turned up with her toyboy lover George Arnold, 24. A source…

BEA EDWARDS, 17, ENDURED RELENTLESS BULLYING AND LEFT SCHOOL AGED 11. She was tormented by her fellow female pupils so badly she developed exhaustion and her immune system suffered, meaning she needed a wheelchair to get around. Bea spent 20 months at Red Balloon and, last year, she trekked to the South Pole to raise money for the school. She says: “When I joined the centre aged 11 I was at my lowest ebb. I was drained and traumatised by the bullying. The popular clique in school had turned on me, and my friends didn’t stand up for me. My school life was hell. “But once I got to Red Balloon I didn’t feel alone any more. The teachers understood what I’d been through. It felt more like a home…

Holly Brockwell made headlines earlier this month when she revealed she’d been sterilised on the NHS aged just 30. The tech journalist was sure she’d never want children and contraceptives didn’t agree with her. She first asked to be sterilised when she was 26 but was told by doctors that she was far too young to make that decision. Holly, with the full support of her boyfriend, Zack, went public with her battle and, in her words, since then she has been “patronised, ignored, harassed, judged and demonised.” She’s been told countless times by strangers, friends and medical professionals that she’d change her mind, she’s also been branded “selfish” and told that she was “incapable of love,” and “broken inside.” After four years she was granted the op at St…

She’s reported to be expecting her second baby with husband Ryan Reynolds – and turned heads wherever she went in Cannes, showing off a hint of a bump in immaculately styled outfits. And pals say actress Blake Lively, 28 – who married actor Ryan, 39, in 2012 and has daughter James, 17 months, with him – is following a pregnancy workout of gentle cardio and weight-training, as well as a purely organic diet. A source says: “Blake has porridge and berries for breakfast, then drinks green smoothies throughout the day, with small meals of lean meat, salads, fruit and salmon. She works out three times a week.”…

Former Apprentice star Saira Khan caused a stir last week when she appeared on Loose Women and announced she’d given her husband, Steven Hyde, permission to sleep with other women because she’s not interested in sex any more. The 46-year-old mum-of-two said she’d rather her husband have sex with another woman than have to be intimate with him herself, revealing: “We used to have a fantastic sex life. I still love my husband, we cuddle and it’s lovely. But I’m not interested [in sex]. I’ve lost the desire and I find I make excuses from around 6pm.” However, Saira’s husband of 11 years, Steven, 51, has denied having this arrangement with his wife, describing himself as “troubled and heartbroken” while insisting their marriage is still strong. We ask two women…

They had one of the most solid relationships in showbiz – so fans were left shocked last week when James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff announced they are set to divorce after 10 years of marriage. But sources close to the pair say they have adopted the separation method of “conscious uncoupling” – made famous by stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin during their split in 2014. Friends say James, 37, and Anne-Marie, 45 – who started dating while working on Shameless together in 2003, and married three years later – will ensure their split remains amicable for the sake of their six-year-old son, Brendan. A source says: “James and Anne-Marie’s top priority is Brendan, and James has been doing a lot of research into how to continue playing happy families…

Their whirlwind four-month romance appeared to hit a bump two weeks ago when Orlando Bloom was snapped hugging his ex Selena Gomez in a Las Vegas night club. But friends say after Orlando, 39, reassured girlfriend Katy Perry it was all innocent, they headed to Cannes, where it’s rumoured he popped the question. A source says: “Katy and Orlando are crazy about each other and they’ve got serious, very fast. Pals say Orlando proposed on a yacht and he wants them to pick out a ring together.” Katy, 31 – who was married to Russell Brand – and Orlando, who has son Flynn, five, from his marriage to Miranda Kerr – are just enjoying the moment for now. A source says: “There’s no wedding talk yet and they’ll probably just…

When stockbroker Ruben Hasu met Daliah, he was instantly attracted to her model looks and couldn’t wait to ask her out. ‘We’re looking into surrogacy or adoption’ But on their first date, Daliah, 36, dropped the bombshell she’d been born a boy – but had spent £11,000 on a boob op and gender reassignment surgery to transform into a woman. Despite his initial shock, Ruben, 25, realised he was falling in love and wanted to give their relationship a chance. FAMILY SECRET But when he introduced her to his family and friends, Ruben decided not to tell them about Daliah’s sex change. Ruben explains: “I don’t think it’s anyone’s business.

She was linked to Laurence Fox just weeks after his split from Billie Piper – but Vogue Williams insists they are just good friends.

Outfits from our Pussycat Dolls days still haunt me on Instagram! What were we thinking? Some of those combos were really off! But I couldn’t get rid of everything, so I have a little suitcase of memorabilia – bedazzled bras, crazy latex outfits and a few tailor-made pieces. Now I’ve discovered British designer Christopher Kane. I adore his style. I recently wore a red dress with little see-through pieces at the top that crisscrossed around my neck, and it had a matching jacket. I rarely buy expensive dresses because I can’t wear them again, so it makes sense to loan them. However, towards the end of the Pussycat Dolls in 2009, I was going to a Cartier polo event and I’d just broken up with my boyfriend of five years,…

THE MOVES Her figure is the envy of many and Mel, 45, reveals she works out for five hours a week to keep toned. She does barre fitness (an exercise regime inspired by ballet), reformer Pilates (which uses a special machine) and gym workouts. She says: “My favourite machine is the cross trainer.

She says: “You can work your abs till the cows come home – but if you’re eating rubbish, you’re never going to see them.” Breakfast is scrambled eggs with spinach and mushrooms, lunch is tuna salad and dinner is courgette bolognese. If she…
