Closer的Issue 844目录

When Jade Goody passed away ten years ago this week from cervical cancer, the tragedy was hard to believe. She’d been a larger-than-life character, had two young boys and was just 27 years old. After her death, nearly 500,000 extra women turned up for cervical screenings. But, sadly, the so-called “Jade Goody effect” wore off, and now one in three women under 30 in the UK don’t attend their smear test. On page 17, reality star Chloe Goodman reveals how her very first cervical screening at the age of 25 potentially saved her life. And we hear from Jeff Brazier – father of Jade’s sons, Bobby and Freddie – about the lasting impact of the grief on their lives. If you take one thing from Closer this week, please let…

A question mark may be hanging over the status of Liam Payne’s romance with Naomi Campbell, but Cheryl ensured there was no doubt about her bond with ex Liam when they were pictured sharing a warm embrace during a run-in at the Global Awards earlier this month. It was a rare move for Cheryl, 35 – who shares toddler Bear with Liam, 25 – as she usually shuns the spotlight unless she is promoting her music, TV shows or charity work. The singer’s surprise appearance at the awards ceremony came less than 24 hours before supermodel Naomi’s interview on The Jonathan Ross Show aired, where she remained tight-lipped when asked about 1D star Liam. However, the rumour mill continued when Naomi, 48, and Liam were reportedly “all over each other”…

She’s fluctuated between a size 16 and a size 8 over the years – and while Kerry admits she’s hasn’t been exercising much, she’s more confident in her body than ever. The star says, “I’m not in the best shape I want to be, I’ll be honest. I’ve put on weight, about half a stone, because I haven’t been training as much as I used to. But I’m actually more confident than I used to be – this is who I am! If someone can’t accept you at your worst, then they don’t deserve my best.” Kerry adds that she’s learned to love her body, not for what it looks like, but for what it’s done for her. She says, “My body has been battered and been here, there, and…

She recently broke up with her boyfriend and father of her 11-month-old daughter, True – but Khloé Kardashian appeared to put her troubles aside last week when she showed off her incredible frame in a skintight dress. Pals say the reality star has lost half a stone in a month following Victoria Beckham’s favourite Five Hands diet, in a bid to rebuild her confidence following allegations that her boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, 28, cheated with family friend Jordyn Woods. It’s the second time Khloé has been humiliated by the sports star after initial cheating allegations surfaced just days before she gave birth last April. A source says, “Khloé was heartbroken, and after losing her appetite, then going in and out of emotionally fuelled binges, she decided to focus on something positive…

CHRISTIE BRINKLEY, 65 Former supermodel Christie puts her youthful looks down to feeling good. She says, “When you feel better, you look better – you also feel more energised and confident. That’s really the results that keep me going – that’s the benefit of taking good care of yourself.” SHARON STONE, 61 Sharon’s secret to looking good is by embracing her natural looks. The actress says, “I’m happy being a grown woman – there’s a lot of glamour and allure that you don’t have when you’re young. We’ve got girls with the same nose, gigantic lips, and implants. Are they really prettier?” JESSICA LANGE, 69 American actress Jessica Lange has avoided the surgery route, owing her fresh complexion and slim figure to mother nature. A source says, “Jessica doesn’t have…

Single Chloe McBride, 27, works in admin and lives in Weston-super-Mare. She charges OnlyFans subscribers £10 a month to view her pictures. She says, “As a teenager, I suffered with crippling social anxiety and was self-conscious of my 30AA boobs. But I had counselling, and then, three years ago, my parents offered to pay for a boob job. I loved my new 30C boobs, and my confidence soared. I started posting bikini pictures on Instagram, showing them off. “The more people that followed me, the sexier my pictures got. I’d pose in lingerie or tight gym gear. Then, a few weeks ago, I heard about OnlyFans. It sounded just like Instagram, except you charge people to look at your pictures. The idea of earning some extra money was very appealing.…

She’s no stranger to the gym and regularly wows fans with her age-defying body and ripped abs. And insiders say size 8 Jennifer will be putting herself through a tough bridal body bootcamp ahead of her big day. A source says, “Jennifer loves to work out and is dedicated to her health and fitness. She’ll go above and beyond to ensure she looks more toned than ever on her wedding day. She wants to wow Alex in her dress.” Opening up about her fitness recently, 5ft 8 Jen said, “I’ve always taken pretty good care of myself. I make sure I do intense workouts at least three or four times a week. I started out as a dancer and I remember whenever I arrived at the gym in the morning,…

‘I always remember that I came from nothing’ ‘PEOPLE WILL COME AND GO’ My good pal Katie Price [aka Jordan] warned me that I may lose friends getting into showbiz. When I became famous, I lost a lot of my mates from school, through no fault of my own. They just completely changed because of what was going on in my life. People always ask me if I’m best friends with everyone I work with in telly – but no, not everyone you work with is your friend. I have a handful of pals in the TV industry that I adore. What’s the point of pretending you’re mates with everyone? It used to be that I couldn’t move for mates – but now I can count my closest ones on…

The Hills star Heidi Montag hit back at claims there was a lack of diversity in reality shows recently, saying, “We don’t all look the same; Audrina [Patridge, her The Hills co-star] has darker hair.” This left people laughing, but I’m glad it raised the topic of diversity on TV. How many black or Asian people do we see on TV in the UK? Not many, despite the high percentage of us living in the UK. I think reality TV would be a great place to start introducing more diversity on our screens. Some say, “It’s OK, everyone’s rooting for Idris Elba to be James Bond.” But what about all the other talented ethnic minority actors?…

JUST LANDED SKIN SAVIOUR NIVEA CLAY FRESH SHOWER HIBISCUS & WHITE SAGE WHAT IS IT? A new range of beautifully scented shower clays that deeply cleanse skin, leaving it soft and squeaky-clean. WHY WE LOVE IT: Created with kaolin clay, we expected this new launch to have a thicker, rough texture, but it felt just like a creamy moisturiser, which made application a doddle. It gently exfoliates, which meant that our skin felt silky-smooth post-rinse, while the refreshing scent made our bathroom feel like a fancy spa. GET THE LOOK... HIGH-SHINE HAIR Give your locks an extra glitzy appearance, just like Charlize and Lily, with these fabulous finishing sprays… ❶ HYDRATING PALMER’S COCONUT OIL FORMULA WEIGHTLESS SHINE OIL MIST £6.99 Use this coconut-oil infused spray on both wet and dry…

‘I was so sluggish and unfit – now I’m getting stronger’ Posing in a bikini just six months after giving birth isn’t easy, so it’s no wonder Josie Gibson – who has lost over 2st and two to three dress sizes – is smiling. The 5ft 11 Big Brother star, who is mum to baby Reggie, has dropped from 16st 2lbs to 14st and gone from a size 18 to a size 12-14. “I was feeling so sluggish and unfit, and it’s a lot easier being 2st lighter,” she smiles. “I put on so much weight during pregnancy and felt very un-sexy. It’s only now that I’m starting to feel a little bit more put together; it’s amazing to feel your confidence coming back. The other day I went out…

‘TINDER ISN’T TO BLAME FOR RISE IN ABORTIONS’ A health minister recently blamed dating app Tinder for a rise in unplanned pregnancies among 30-somethings – Dr C disagrees Saying that Tinder has caused a rise in unplanned pregnancies is rubbish. There are many reasons behind the rise, from expensive emergency contraception to the cuts to sexual health services. SCARE STORIES The fertility scare stories that fill the papers are also another reason 30-somethings are having unplanned pregnancies. Women in this age bracket often completely underestimate their chances of conceiving. Research found that 88 per cent of women thought being over 35 made it “very difficult” to get pregnant naturally, but 82 per cent of women aged 35 to 39 conceive naturally within a year. It’s easy to see why they…

Is it good to be back? Picking Albert off the shelf this time felt very natural. He is older and the person he is has changed. The young man we met initially was a fish out of water, and now everything has flipped. I thought about how that would manifest. I tried to make him a little heavier physically; I put on weight so as to age him. What’s his relationship with the Queen like now? I don’t think we’ll find them at a point where they are more fractious than this. It’s part of their growing up – they got married at 19. Neither thinks the other one is pulling their weight and so they come to blows.…

The Girl In The Spider’s Web ON DVD & BLU-RAY AVAILABLE 25 MARCH Genius punk hacker Lisbeth Salander (Claire Foy) returns alongside journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Sverrir Gudnason) in this sequel to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Fans of the novel trilogy will love this latest instalment, which sees the pair enter a dangerous new world of spies, cyber-criminals and the Russian mob. The duo are as compelling as ever. Robin Hood ON DVD & BLU-RAY AVAILABLE 25 MARCH The legendary swashbuckler and his band of merry men are back stealing from the rich and giving to the poor in this modern reboot. We’ve had our fair share of Robin Hood retellings over the years, but this offering has been given a gritty, action-packed revamp that feels totally fresh. Not…

She fuelled rumours she was pregnant for the sixth time last week when she was snapped in Thailand with a noticeably larger stomach. But while a rep for Jordan – real name Katie Price – shot down the claims as the star holidayed with on/off boyfriend Kris Boyson, insiders reveal her pals wouldn’t be surprised if she was expecting. A source says, “Katie has made no secret that she’s desperate for another baby; she’s on a mission to have one by the end of the year. Friends suspect she may already be pregnant and, if she’s isn’t, it’s only a matter of time. She’s stopped drinking and is off some food, and says she isn’t feeling like her normal self.” WEIGHT GAIN Fans added to the rumours when pictures emerged…

It’s been just over three years since he lost his mum Johannah to leukemia, and Louis Tomlinson was left traumatised by yet more heartache last week, when his 18-year-old sister Félicité died due to a suspected heart attack. The 1D star, 27, was said to be “devastated and distraught” after Félicité, aka “Fizzy” – an Instagram star and aspiring fashion designer – died at home. As Closer went to press, the death was being treated as unexplained. The siblings were extremely close and saw each other regularly. Insiders tell Closer that Louis’ former bandmates Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Harry Styles, plus their mentor Simon Cowell, were among the first to reach out. HEARTBREAKING A source says, “Liam’s offered to cancel his upcoming work commitments to be there for Louis.…

Lying in a hospital bed, Kane Gorny, 22, was desperate for water. Ignored by medical staff, he called the police and begged for a drink. Tragically, the aspiring footballer later died from dehydration. Kane’s story is heartbreaking, but it’s not unique. A total of 936 patients had malnutrition, dehydration or choking listed as a main or contributing factor on their death certificate last year. Among them were 74 cases where a lack of food was the primary cause – a 34 per cent increase since 2015. Kane’s mum, Rita Cronin, 59, from south London, is still coming to terms with the treatment her son received. IGNORED She says, “Kane went into St George’s Hospital, Tooting, for a hip replacement. He was taking medication for diabetes insipidus, a condition that meant…

This week marks ten years since the tragic death of reality star Jade Goody, who died from cervical cancer aged just 27. And while the nation was shocked when the mum-of-two passed away, no one was more devastated than sons Bobby and Freddie, now 15 and 16. Over the years, their dad Jeff Brazier – who dated Jade between 2002 and 2004 – has spoken openly about how her death affected them and, a decade on, he admits their boys still struggle with their emotions. DIFFICULT TIME Speaking at a talk organised by bereavement charity Grief Encounter last month, Jeff, 39, said, “We’re coming up to the tenth anniversary, which is a really difficult time. It really stirs up so much in them [Bobby and Freddie]. You can see their…

She’s rumoured to be engaged to Travis Scott, 26 – dad to their one-year-old daughter, Stormi – after being spotted wearing a ring on her wedding finger. And it seems Kylie Jenner, 21, may be having a joint wedding, as her mum Kris is reportedly getting hitched, too. Kris, 63 – who’s been dating Corey Gamble, 38, since 2014 – is telling pals she thinks her toyboy boyfriend is about to propose, and has already been contemplating a double wedding with her billionaire daughter. A source says, “Kris has her heart set on a joint wedding with Kylie. Not only would it bring in huge TV ratings for their reality show, but their combined budgets would mean they’d be able to pull out all the stops.” But insiders say Kylie’s…

Over the past six years, Lynsey Crombie has earned her crown as Queen Of Clean. She’s appeared on countless TV shows and has more than 100,000 Instagram followers, who can’t get enough of her housework hacks. But Lynsey’s passion for cleaning stems from something sinister – after the shocking discovery that her ex-husband was a paedophile. Lynsey was married to her ex-partner, David*, for less than a year and the pair were expecting twins together, when he was convicted of gross indecency with young girls. The now mum of three was sickened and ashamed by her ex-husband’s horrific actions, but vowed to turn her life around – and says she couldn’t be prouder of her success. Lynsey, 39, who runs a professional cleaning company and lives in Peterborough with her…

‘ IT’S MADE HER REALISE HOW MUCH SHE WANTS TO FIND HER MR RIGHT’ She suffered heartache in 2017 when, not long into her pregnancy, her then-boyfriend Arthur Collins was arrested over a horrifying acid attack at an east London nightclub. He was later jailed for 20 years, and Ferne McCann vowed to raise their daughter, Sunday, on her own. Now insiders say Ferne, 28, was left shocked last week when a model claimed the convict had been messaging her from prison after meeting online, and was desperate to start a family. STUNNED The woman, who chose to remain anonymous, revealed, “He asked if I wanted to settle down with him and said we can use IVF to get started with children.” And insiders say the revelations have left Ferne…

Brittany and Briana Deane have always done everything together, so it was no surprise that the identical twins grew up dreaming of marrying matching husbands. Their family and friends warned them it may never happen. But last year, the siblings defied the odds and walked down the aisle with their identical twin husbands, Jeremy and Josh Salyers, 35. Now, all four of them plan to live together and raise a family. Briana, 33, from Virginia, says, “Our fantasy has always been to marry identical twin brothers, be pregnant at the same time and raise our children together. As we got into our 20s and 30s, we started to wonder if it was unrealistic, but now we’ve found our identical Prince Charmings – it’s a dream come true.” Growing up, Brittany…

1 I LIKE A LIGHT AND QUICK-ABSORBING MOISTURISER… Olay Whip is the one for me. It doesn’t feel heavy on skin and I can apply my make-up straight away. 2 I PREFER FRESH PERFUMES OVER ANYTHING TOO SWEET… The White Company Blanc is really nice. I love the smell of fresh linen and it reminds me of that when I spray it. 3 NUDE LIPSTICKS ARE GREAT FOR ANY TIME OF THE DAY… I tend to go for dusky pinks and beiges, rather than anything too bright. The Kim Kardashian KKW range is great for natural-looking shades. 4 WHEN IT COMES TO LASHES, I PREFER FALSIES OVER MASCARA… But I’ve recently tried Revitalash mascara (which nourishes eyelashes) for a couple of weeks and noticed a difference in how my lashes…

DON’T PUT PRESSURE ON YOURSELF “I’ve had a lot of new mums message me worrying about their weight. The first thing I always say is, ‘You’ve grown a baby, relax and give yourself a break’. I didn’t do anything for over two months after having Reg, and even then it was only because my knees were hurting and I couldn’t make it upstairs without gasping for breath!” EXERCISE WHEN YOU CAN “I’d put Reg down for a nap and think, ‘I’ve got an hour to work out now’ and then I’d remember he only sleeps for 20 minutes! I do some quick home exercises using the programme’s workouts, and also do a ‘card workout’, where I assign an exercise to a card and go through the deck doing them. You…

RELATIONSHIPS TRY TO GET ON WITH YOUR PARTNER’S MATES One in four women reportedly hates their partner’s friends, Emma says there are tricks to dealing with bothersome buddies We all assume we’ll love our partner’s mates as much as they do, so when you don’t, it can be hard. If it’s a simple personality clash, socialise in small doses. Spending a weekend away together might be a stretch, but meeting for a quick G&T occasionally is hardly psychologically scarring, and gradual exposure can mean that you build bonds. If it grates that they have a longer history with your partner, being brave enough to accept it’s just envy is likely to mean you can learn to get along eventually. Don’t give your partner a “me or them” ultimatum, as friends…

1 BLUE PLANET LIVE WEEK-LONG NATURE SERIES SUN 24, WED 27, THU 28 MARCH, 8PM, BBC1 In 2017, the incredible Blue Planet II wowed us with never-before-seen footage of life in our oceans. It also made us wake up to one of the biggest environmental crisis of our times; calling on viewers to help reduce plastic waste. This follow-up broadcasts live from three different locations across the planet (Chris Packham is on the East Coast of America, Steve Backshall is in the Bahamas and Liz Bonnin is monitoring how new life is faring in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef). We’ll hear from scientists, and the presenters will bring us an important update on efforts being made to save ocean life. ALSO WATCH: New daytime spin-off series Blue Planet UK, Mon-Fri, 4.30pm,…

What’s your new series about? It’s a series I’ve wanted to do for years. It’s born out of going to people’s houses where they’ve got piles of wellies and coats and buggies by the front door – and a room that they leave empty and use for one day a year. They think they’ve got to move but, actually, they’ve just got to use the front room… So, people aren’t using the space they already have wisely? No – and once you say to them, “This is how you live; you’re not using half of this space”, they’re really excited when you suggest redesigning a room, and then show them what to do with it. What’s your own home like? We’ve recently moved to Somerset – into a temporary house,…

They’re set to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary in July – and last week it was reported that they’d become joint billionaires thanks to the success of “Brand Beckham” – with their business ventures earning them a whopping £700 million, equating to one billion US dollars. SECRET PARTIES But despite their power as a brand, sources say wealth and worldwide fame haven’t brought David and Victoria Beckham complete happiness – as sources say the pair have suffered tension over recent rumours about his growing friendships with other women. Insiders recently claimed that Victoria, 44, had concerns about David’s friendship with supermodel Helena Christensen – the pair were said to have stayed in contact after posing for a selfie together back in December at a swanky star-studded bash in Miami, where…

Part of what endears people to Kerry Katona is that she’s not afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve – something fans witnessed when she broke down in tears recently while looking for love on the latest series of Celebs Go Dating. Reflecting now on her past heartaches, the mum of five reveals what she’s learned about her three failed marriages, to former Westlife singer Brian McFadden, taxi driver Mark Croft and ex-rugby player George Kay. “I’m not ashamed of things,” says Kerry. “I’ve fallen in love and I’ve never slept around, ever. I’ve been in longterm relationships since I was 18. I’ve got different children from different husbands, which I’ll never regret. And even though most of my exes were pr** ks, I’m eternally grateful to them for…

Hannah Fields* , 26, is a student nurse, from Stockport, following the same work schedule as her fully qualified counterparts. She says, “These statistics are horrifying, but to say it’s because doctors and nurses don’t care enough is very wrong. The truth is, we’re so overstretched and we try our hardest, but basic needs can’t always be met. On an average day, I look after 12 patients, but if a colleague is off sick, I might have to take on their workload, too. If a patient requires a controlled drug, such as morphine, two nurses must be present while the drug is being prepared, checked and administered. When we’re so understaffed, it means that we have less time to provide general hygiene, as well as food and drink, so the…

The tragic death NAME of TV star Jade Goody led half a million more women than usual to book a cervical screening –a momentum known as “The Jade Goody effect”. But ten years on, the effect appears to have worn off, as statistics show that one in three women under 30 in the UK don’t attend their cervical screening. Despite high-profile campaigns encouraging women to attend, many are still ignoring reminder letters – mostly due to embarrassment and fears over the procedure. But reality star Chloe Goodman wants to warn women to book their cervical screening today. Despite being just 25, she discovered she had high-grade abnormal cells, which could likely have led to cervical cancer if left untreated. SHOCK Chloe says, “I got my screening invite a few weeks…

After posting pictures of her incredible body and age-defying appearance on social media, it’s hard to believe Jane Seymour is actually 68. The British actress first found fame in 1970 in the war drama The Only Way, but it was in 1973 that she became known internationally when she won the part of Bond babe Solitaire in the James Bond film Live And Let Die. Jane – who was awarded an OBE in 2000 – has twin sons John Stacy and Kristopher Steven, 23, with actor ex James Keach, as well as Katherine, 37, and Sean, 33, with former husband David Flynn – yet she looks like she’s barely aged a day! The star, who has been married and divorced four times, is currently dating director and producer David Green,…

When Karen Danczuk divorced her husband, former MP Simon, in 2015, she claimed that her ex’s jealously over the attention she gained from posting saucy snaps online was partly to blame. Now, Karen is capitalising on her photos through online subscription service OnlyFans, where she’s charging £15 a month for exclusive access to her racy pictures – and is reported to have already earned £10,000. Speaking exclusively to Closer , Karen, 35, says, “I heard about OnlyFans after my Twitter followers told me to sign up. At first, I thought it was just a smutty sex site, but personal trainers, make-up artists and inspirational speakers use it, too. CHATTING TO FANS “I love spending time interacting with my fans, but financially, I couldn’t justify using up all those hours replying…

LISA ‘DREADING’ANT’S ENGAGEMENT NEWS His romance with girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett continues to go from strength to strength, following their recent half-term holiday with her kids, as well as being regularly seen out with their new Maltipoo puppies. But sources say Ant McPartlin’s PDAs with Anne-Marie, 42, are making ex-wife Lisa Armstrong prepare for the worst as she fears they could make an engagement announcement soon. A pal says, “Lisa is dreading Ant telling the world he’s planning to marry Anne-Marie. It’s bad enough seeing them out with their dogs and on holiday, and now Lisa is just waiting for the next blow. Their mutual pals have already been trying to warn Lisa, as they all think Ant is desperate to make things official.” Ant and Lisa’s 11-year-marriage came to an…

“I USUALLY WAKE UP AT 9AM, but if I haven’t got an early start, I’ll lie in until 10am or 11am. I get up and have a coffee, but I’m never hungry in the morning. I can’t remember the last time I had breakfast. I DON’T LOOK NEARLY AS TONED AS I DID ON LOVE ISLAND ! I trained really hard to get in shape for that, but now I’m so busy, I don’t have as much time to exercise. When I do, I work out at Metabolic London, where I’ll do a HIIT [high-intensity interval training] class. Liam Payne goes there, too. I always see him, but I’m too shy to say ‘Hi’. I’ll have a quick lunch on the go, at around 12pm. I’VE INTERVIEWED…

Liz says, “It’s easy to do our bit to help save the planet…” • Invest in a reusable coffee cup (only one per cent of single-use takeaway cups are recycled). • Eat less meat – the emissions from intensive dairy and cattle farming are a big part of the problem. • In supermarkets, unwrap items after paying and return packaging at the till – sending a clear message to the retailer that something must be done. • Use a reusable tote shopping bag. • Turn down your thermostat by a couple of degrees (every time your heating clicks on, the world outside gets a little warmer because of the increased use of non-renewable energy). • Walk more and take public transport (reducing harmful air pollution). • Consider putting solar panels…
