Making the most of life If there is one quality that most successful, happy people have in common it’s resilience. It’s a rare person who’s not had to deal with loss but some have the knack of emerging stronger than before. Those people are truly inspirational – none more so than incredible mum-of-two Silke Naun-Bates. She lost her legs in a horrific accident when she was just eight but she has gone on to lead a life full of laughter and love. She tells us: “I want to show the world you can be positive no matter what life throws at you.” I hope her story on page 36 moves you to make the most of every minute.…

It’s been 10 weeks since their divorce was finalised, but Cheryl’s ex-husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini made headlines this month when he admitted he’d heard about her pregnancy through news reports. The pair tied the knot in 2014 after a whirlwind three-month romance. But Cheryl called time on the 18-month marriage, filing for divorce in January. JB recently broke his silence about Cheryl’s pregnancy, saying: “Funnily enough that [the news] was how I heard.” He added: “It’s a great thing… If everyone was creating life, the world would be a better place.” But insiders say, while JB – who is rumoured to be making a cookery show and has just opened his own restaurant – is now keen to reach out, Cheryl wants to put a seal on the past.

Medical Director of Create Fertility, Professor Geeta Nargund, tells Closer : “IVF and the embryo freezing process is very well regulated in the UK. Whether you’re using a partner’s or donor sperm, there are a number of consent forms both parties have to sign – this covers both the creation and discarding of embryos and includes what happens if a partner dies or a couple split. We cannot use or discard of embryos without the consent of both partners (unless the time agreed for the freezing expires). If one partner withdraws consent about using the embryos, we won’t go ahead unless both partners agree. We also can’t destroy embryos until the storage period is over – the maximum we can freeze them for is 10 years – but we can’t…

She was forced to endure yet more friction from her ex Jeremy McConnell before Christmas, as she counted down to the arrival of her son – with Jeremy saying he’s “definitely getting a paternity test.” And Stephanie Davis took to Twitter to vent her fury over voicemails that some speculated were from 26-year-old Jeremy. She wrote: “Catching up on some voicemails from last month. I really don’t get some people. SORRY then VILE... Baffling.” TOXIC RELATIONSHIP Now pals say Steph, 23, is furious that the Irish model – who has always insisted she was seeing other people when they split last year – is still bad-mouthing her. Pals add that Steph fears he is playing off their toxic relationship in a bid to kick-start his career. A source says: “Steph…

I WAKE UP AROUND 6.30AM and straight away, I get on the floor to do about 300 push-ups. Then I have breakfast, which is just a coffee really, and a magnesium tablet, before the kids wake up [Fred is dad to Andrea, 12, and Matteo-Lucien, seven, with his ex partner of 12 years]. I CYCLE TO MY RESTAURANT, GALVIN AT WINDOWS, in London, which takes about half an hour door to door. We open at noon, so in the morning we have meetings with the chef and the manager, and get ready for service. Sometimes I might have an interview or some filming for First Dates. THE GOOD THING IS THAT PART OF MY JOB IS TO TRY THE FOOD. But I have to be careful as the mashed potato…

They reconciled in November, following an 11-month separation, but just weeks later Nick Knowles and estranged wife Jessica Rose Moor have split again. The couple are reportedly living apart amid claims the DIY SOS host had been contacting other women. A source told a newspaper: “She and Nick aren’t living together any more. Things have gone t*ts up. They haven’t been getting on.” Now insiders tell Closer how Jessica is determined to draw a line under her four-year marriage and move on for the sake of their two-year- old son, Eddie. A source says: “Jessica has said she’d rather end things now so they can amicably co-parent together. “She was praying their reunion would work and they could be a happy family again but she was feeling constantly insecure, which…

X Factor judge Sharon Osborne has endured a turbulent year after it was revealed in May that her 68-year-old rocker husband had been having a three-year affair with his 45-year-old hairdresser, Michelle Pugh. Breaking her silence on her 35-year-marriage split, Sharon – who threw Ozzy out of the Beverly Hills home – confessed at the time: “I can’t keep living like this.” But the pair reunited in August, after Ozzy sought therapy for sex addiction. Now, sealing their happiness following a tough year, 64-year-old Sharon says the couple are renewing their wedding vows for the second time. She said: “Ozzy has asked me to renew our wedding vows and I’d like to. I’m happy and, to be honest, that’s all I want.” Despite having one of the longest lasting marriages…

‘Having sex on TV is just attention-grabbing’ Forget Tess Daly and Vernon Kay or Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes – one of the most dynamic TV couples right now is without doubt Anna Richardson and Sue Perkins. While Anna, 46, pushes the boundaries presenting controversial shows, including Naked Attraction and The Sex Education Show , her other half Sue, 47, has become a household name hosting The Great British Bake Off and Game Of Thrones talk show Thronecast . Anna – who got together with Sue in 2014 after meeting through friends, following her split from boyfriend of 18 years Charles Martin – insists there’s no competition over their TV careers and says she’d love to make a very public commitment to her successful girlfriend. MARRIAGE TALK Anna reveals: “Sue…

From her tracksuit obsession to being a Snapchat novice, singer Charli XCX, 24, talks us through her day 6.30am: If I’m working, it’s usually an early start, though l definitely press snooze a couple of times before I get up! 6.45am: I’m a firm believer in breakfast being the most important meal of the day, so I don’t do anything until I’ve eaten.

Don’t limit shimmery silver eyeshadows to after hours – the glossy metallic is just as wearable during the daytime, as proved by stylish star Olivia Palermo. Take notes from her and use a soft brush to sweep a shimmery, icy toned powder shadow over eyelids and up to your socket crease. Use the very tip of your brush to smudge just a hint of extra powder through lower lashes, too. Trace an eyeliner pen along lashes and wing out into a flick, then go over to build up the thickness and sweep on two coats of volumising mascara. Wear with a strong coloured lip like Olivia or keep it neutral with a warm nude shade.…

In July we put down a deposit for our wedding, but I had an accident shortly after. I tripped over two potholes and badly fractured my ankle. I was wheelchair-bound for the first few weeks and was looked after by friends and family. “I’ve been learning to walk again but we’ve had to pay for everything – including taxis, gym membership for rehab sessions and endless prescriptions. My sister stayed with me to help out, so household costs went up too. “I aim to go back to work next month, starting with a 21-hour week – I usually work 48 – for at least…

Children and teenagers have always been influenced by the rich and famous, but these days they’re even more exposed to celebrities and their often questionable behaviours.

The Sixth Sense actress OIivia Williams, 48, plays the lady of the house – who she says has “elements of battle-axe about her…” She says: “I don’t think this story of wartime has been told from this angle before. One of the things people love is watching the appalling snobbery and class-stricken system – the worse the better. Lady Hamilton completely embodies that. You jump in with two feet and relish playing that dreadful person…” We can’t wait to get stuck into this series! O The Halcyon starts Mon 2 Jan, 9pm, ITV…

Closer psychologist Emma Kenny says: “Therapy is useful as it gives couples like Katie and Kieran space to explore their relationship with someone who’s unbiased and is able to challenge their behaviour. It can change the way couples perceive the relationship by helping them to understand their partner’s behaviour, and allows them to work through any pain. But the main point of therapy is to equip clients with the skills they need so they can replicate what they’ve learnt without using therapy as a crutch. If you spend too much of your time together in therapy, it might be that you don’t feel safe and secure enough in your relationship to explore your issues on your own.”…

She’s previously slammed the pressure on women to slim down to their pre-baby weight after giving birth, admitting in October that she couldn’t fit into her skinny jeans after having daughter Milena, now seven months. REWARDING WORK But now Kristina, 39, is back looking match-fit for the dance floor. And the professional dancer says it’s taken her six months to get back to a size 8. Kristina credits rehearsing for her successful London show One More Dance – with fellow ex-Strictly star Gleb Savchenko – for helping her shift the baby weight. Kristina says: “Dancing has been the best workout to get me back into shape because you are having so much fun, but the routines are tough and really push you. I got the call to do the show…

Zahra Pabani, family law partner at Shakespeare Martineau, says: “If a couple who have frozen embryos together split and one came to me wanting to still use that embryo, I wouldn’t say no to fighting their case. In the UK, that would mean claiming that it’s a breach of contract that you went into this process to have a child, and now that’s not happening. I can’t see a court in the UK agreeing that an embryo can be used to create a baby when one parent doesn’t want it. But fertility treatment is getting more popular and the law will eventually have to change with it. I wouldn’t rule out cases where exes fight over embryos happening here in the future.”…

They were recently seen looking more loved-up than ever on a shopping trip, just weeks after being spotted house-hunting together – sealing rumours their sizzling on-screen chemistry had transferred to real life. Now insiders say Victoria stars Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes, both 30, are planning to take their relationship to the next level and are set to tie the knot. A source says: “Jenna and Tom are serious about each other and want to start planning their future together. They’ve spoken about marriage and babies and they’re hoping to wed within the next year in a very low-key ceremony.” Their on-screen romance as the young Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert captivated viewers when the ITV drama aired in the autumn; a second series is set to hit…

It may have taken her until her late 50s to find true body confidence, but as she poses in a bikini at Closer’s shoot, Denise Welch admits she’s learnt to love herself and hopes to encourage other women to be proud of their bodies. She says: “When I pose in a bikini, I’m not saying: ‘Hey, look at me, I’m 58 and I’m this hottie.’ I just want women to feel empowered and feel they can wear a bikini in their 50s.” A HEALTHY ATTITUDE The size 12 star adds: “I don’t think I’m bad for 58. It’s not easy to keep the weight off at my age, but I feel as if I’m starting to keep it under control. I’ve started working out more over the past couple of…

REFUND RULES Not happy with an Xmas gift? Some retailers only exchange or give a credit note, while others give a full cash refund. Most shops usually require a receipt, the card you paid with and all packaging. Most big stores extend their returns policy until mid-January, so if your pressie is on the sale rail, ask for the gift receipt! HAGGLE HARD! Right now many stores want to get rid of their stock to make way for the new season, so ask for discounts. And if an item has a small mark or fault, ask for more money off. Though it’s likely this will be non-returnable.…

She posted a loved-up selfie to mark their fourth wedding anniversary recently – but pals say that behind Jordan’s very public displays of affection, her marriage to Kieran Hayler is still resting on a knife’s edge. Sources say Jordan – real name Katie Price – is finding it hard to see how they can find a new lease of life. A friend says: “Katie wants to put on a front showing that her marriage to Kieran is better than ever, but behind the scenes she’s admitted to Kieran she’s feeling completely frazzled and stressed about their relationship. They’re constantly talking around the same issues and going over the same ground. She’s been saying they’ve been in therapy for most of their marriage.” Just two months ago, the former glamour model…

They’ve had a notoriously stormy friendship, but insiders say pregnant Cheryl has now turned to Victoria Beckham for advice about juggling her career with looking after a baby. Cheryl, 33, struck-up a close bond with the fashion designer, 42, during the 2006 World Cup when Cheryl was engaged to footballer Ashley Cole, 35, who played alongside Victoria’s husband, David, 41. However, their friendship soured after Cheryl revealed in 2009 that she was disappointed the mum-of-four hadn’t reached out to offer support when allegations surfaced that Ashley had cheated. Cheryl then criticised Victoria’s fashion range, saying: “Posh’s dresses are too old for me.” But insiders say their rift was healed when Posh offered Cheryl an olive branch and invited her to her LA home for dinner after she was unceremoniously sacked…

WOMEN’S RIGHTS CAMPAIGNER: ‘Ihelped getthe tampon tax abolished’ In March this year, former PM David Cameron announced the abolition of the tax placed on women’s sanitary products, a move prompted by Laura Coryton’s “End Tampon Tax” campaign. Laura started the campaign at Goldsmiths, University Of London, in May 2014 and quickly gained public recognition, with 320,000 supporters signing her online petition. The tax is currently charged at a reduced rate of five per cent but will be abolished completely in 2018 thanks to Laura’s campaign. Laura, 23, from Devon, says: “I set up the campaign because I thought the tax was illogical, sexist and completely unfair. “I started petitioning while I was at uni studying politics and launched an online campaign which soon built up momentum. It took two years…

• While still in a relationship in 2013, Sofia and Nick used IVF to create five embryos. • Two of the embryos were viable and one was reportedly implanted into Sofia’s friend and employee – who was acting as a surrogate – but it failed. A second attempt was also unsuccessful. • Sofia and Nick underwent a second round of IVF later in 2013, creating two more viable embryos. They had the fertilised embryos frozen and signed documents stating the fate of the embryos should one of them die. • After the couple split in 2014, legal papers from Nick claim he tried to get Sofia to agree that if one of them died the other one would have control of the embryos, but she did not respond. • In…

Rumours of their romance heated up when Arsenal player Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was seen in the audience for Perrie Edwards’ performance at the X Factor final. Now pals close to the Little Mix star, 23, say they’re worried she’s moving too fast with the 23-year-old footballer, after revealing she’s asked him to move into her Surrey bungalow just six weeks into their relationship. A source says: “Perrie’s fallen head over heels for Alex and they’re currently spending all their free time together. “He lives in north London so it’s a good hour’s drive to her place, meaning he stays over most nights anyway. She’s suggesting they move in together as it’s just logistically easier.” Perrie recently revealed how she “cried every day” when her ex-fiancé Zayn Malik, 23, called off their…

• Labour MP Jo Cox, 41, was murdered by loner Thomas Mair in a vile politically-motivated attack in her constituency on 16 June. The mum-of-two’s death prompted an enormous outpouring of affection, with her husband Brendan urging people to “fight against the hatred that killed her.” A GoFundMe page “Jo Cox’s Fund” set up in her memory has since raised almost £2m for charities close to her heart. • Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs, aged 86 • Weatherman Ian McCaskill, aged 78 • Star Trek’sAnton Yelchin, aged 27 • R2-D2 actor Kenny Baker, aged 81 • Nine-times married actress Zsa Zsa Gábor, aged 99 • Radio 1 presenter Ed ‘Stewpot’ Stewart, aged 74 • Agony aunt Denise Robertson, aged 83 • Coronation Street actress Jean Alexander, aged 90 • Singer-songwriter…

THE VERDICT These models may have shared a love of oversized shades, but they couldn’t have styled these Unravel lace-up trousers (£1,722) any more differently. Kendall opts for dressed-down pumps and a crop top, but we love how Miranda vamps hers up with killer heels. THE VERDICT When it comes to skintight dresses, these reality-TV stars know how to squeeze it in! Love Island’s Olivia showcases untamed locks and a gold choker, but Khloe gets our vote – she lets her latex frock (House Of…

1 BEST FOR STUBBORN MAKE-UP These micellar wipes are designed to melt away even the trickiest of mascara without too much rubbing. We were impressed with the results – and the gentle formula was sting-free. 2 BEST FOR A LUXE BOOST These thicker, plush towelettes were nice and soft on our skin. They are infused with blueberry and coconut, so smelt lovely and left our face squeaky clean and with a fresh glow. 3 BEST FOR DRY SKIN Gentle enough to use on even the most sensitive of skin types, these textured wipes gently exfoliated skin to remove all dirt and grime. The hydrating mango extract helped to moisturise and soothe winter dry skin.…

KEEPING CALM… I have taken up yoga again and I even have a yoga smartphone app. I have to keep active to keep my illness at bay. Yoga and meditation ensure I stay healthy. BUILDING A HEALTHY WORK/ LIFE BALANCE… I have to be careful about what jobs I take because I don’t want to give myself unwanted stress. Life can be hectic and staying healthy is important. But I try not to put myself in a position where I get too stressed. I am much kinder to myself nowadays. STAYING SLIM… It’s all about tweaking your diet – for example, I’ll have pasta with Bolognese sauce, but just have less pasta and treat it like a side. What I don’t do these days is binge between meals. I do…

THE MOVES Refreshingly, former Miss UK Amy admits it can be hard to get motivated to exercise. But she still attempts to be active every day, whether it’s power walking or taking the stairs. Amy also tries to go to the gym at least three times a week. She reveals: “I run, I pump weights, do yoga, and generally try to keep my adrenaline pumping for the best results.” THE FOODS Amy calls herself a “foodie” and says: “My advice for eating is simple: keep it clean and natural and your body will love you for it.” She typically starts the day with a berry protein smoothie, while lunch is grilled salmon with spinach and dinner is chicken with sweet potato. THE GAME-CHANGER Amy has stopped skipping breakfast, saying: “It’s…

There’s a ridiculous notion that we should always be busy, and we see the need to rest as a weakness – but recovery time is crucial for leading a happy and healthy life. You may feel like you’re switching off, but in reality a lot is still going on internally. Check out some of the excellent benefits to taking some time out every day. GIVE YOUR BRAIN A BREAK We’re all constantly overstimulated, which isn’t good for your brain. Online shopping while stirring the saucepan, watching TV while Tweeting, eating your dinner while scanning Facebook – all that multitasking is too much. Watching something on the iPad isn’t true rest because it emits stimulating blue light. Curling up with a magazine or a book is better – it’s why lots…

MY POCKET MONEY WAS… £2.50 a week in return for doing chores I usually managed to dodge. I’d spend it at Woolworths! MY FIRST JOB WAS… Doing the paper round. I always came home with print smudges all over my face and hands. I earned £1.25 an hour. WITH MY FIRST ‘PROPER’ PAY CHEQUE I BOUGHT… A meal at Pizza Hut – it felt very posh! MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS… A spontaneous trip to the Caribbean in my twenties. My boyfriend at the time was on holiday there with his family and I missed him so I decided to surprise him. Hilarious in retrospect as we spent the whole time arguing and broke up shortly after! EVER MADE A FINANCIAL MISTAKE? I wasted all the money I earned in…
