We live in a world where image seems to be everything. And thanks to the rise of editing apps, anyone can tweak their selfies to perfection. However, it’s spilling over to real life. In a worrying report on p22, we speak to selfie-obsessed women who have actually gone under the knife to achieve the filtered look they used on Instagram – with experts warning that apps are fuelling a rise in body dysmorphia. Refreshingly, we also speak to Loose Women star Stacey Solomon (p58), who reveals she’s beaten her body hang-ups by accepting herself as she is. And someone else who has found happiness in honesty is Gemma Collins. After struggling with fad diets, she’s learned to celebrate her body and is ready to meet The One. It makes sense…

❛SHE WANTS TO MAINTAIN A DISTANCE TO GET HER HEAD AROUND ALL THE DRAMA❜ She’s been leaving people guessing over the state of her nine-year marriage with troubled footballer Wayne Rooney, as they haven’t been seen together since his shock arrest for drink-driving on a boozy night out with “party girl” Laura Simpson. And insiders say that heavily pregnant Coleen Rooney – who returned from a break in the Caribbean with her three sons and parents last week – has been living a separate life from Wayne over the past month, as work and travel keep them apart. A source says, “Coleen and Wayne have always had a packed social calendar and she was often seen at his football matches, but she’s planning on stepping back as she doesn’t want…

She’s been wowing the judges and is among the favourites for this year’s Strictly Come Dancing alongside pro dancer Gorka Marquez. But reports have emerged of in-fighting backstage as Alexandra Burke clashes with Gorka over his growing romance with her rival Gemma Atkinson. The former X Factor winner is said to be having “full-blown screaming matches” during rehearsals with her dance partner. Last month, Closer reported that Gorka, 27, and actress Gemma, 32, had been enjoying a string of secret dates and that Alexandra, 29, had been left fuming, fearing it could affect her chances of winning. Gorka previously described the dynamics between him and Alexandra, saying that she was surprisingly bossy, despite him being the professional. He revealed, “She shouts more at me than I shout at her. She…

She always looks happy and confident, but Caitlyn Jenner revealed she was finally living her “fantasy” last week when she uploaded a video to Instagram of her relaxing on a beach in a swimming costume. Caitlyn, 68, shared a clip of herself strolling along the sand in Mexico happily shouting, “Free!” and captioned it, “40 years ago my therapist asked me what my fantasy is. I told her walking on the beach being my authentic self.” The reality star – formerly known as Olympic athlete Bruce Jenner – admitted she had struggled with her gender since she was a youth, before coming out as a trans woman in 2015 and having sex reassignment surgery in January this year. Meanwhile, last week she hit the headlines after claiming on a US…

I’ve been married now for eight years and have two children, Felix, seven, and Max, five. And every day I feel incredibly lucky. The way I met my husband Mark is so unusual, I still find it hard to believe. I fell in love with him on my commute – the 8.21am train from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, to London’s King’s Cross. For four years, I’d made the same journey to my job at a magazine, sitting in silence surrounded by commuters, longing for the journey to end. But in July 2003, my commute became the highlight of my day. That was when I set eyes on “Train Man”. He was walking down the platform and I thought he was unbelievably handsome. He had olive skin, dark hair and deep brown eyes…

She stepped out looking gorgeous and ready to mingle at the Pride of Britain Awards last week. And after breaking up with boyfriend Luke Crodden last month, newly single Scarlett Moffatt tells Closer that she feels ready to date again. Scarlett says, “I’m a single girl now. It feels weird but exciting. I don’t mind whether the next person I date is a celebrity or someone normal – as long as they’re a nice person. I’m not really fussy at all.” The 27-year-old Gogglebox star has just been snapped up to present I’m A Celebrity!’s spin-off show Extra Camp – which follows a successful year of presenting gigs, including working as a co-presenter on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. And Scarlett says that she’s been in touch with Ant…

She’s now mum to four boys and, after giving birth to baby number four Ronnie in September, Danielle Lloyd says she’s still set on having a girl. She laughs, “Everything has been so great with little Ronnie, and Michael is an absolute natural with our newborn. We’ve just moved into our new house and it feels like home already – I can’t wait to have our first Christmas there as a family. “I’m still desperate to have a girl. I’m looking into the gender selection process and I’d love one as soon as possible. I’m used to having lots of babies – I’m a pro!” And Danielle, 33, who looked svelte in her figure-hugging sparkly dress, admits she’s watching her diet to maintain her size 8 frame. She says, “I’ll…

SURGERY “I used to think I’d definitely have plastic surgery, but not now. People are too obsessive with how they look. I don’t judge other people who have it, but I think there are more important things in life than having straight white teeth.” DIET “I love my food and health supplements. I have a spoonful of Active Silver every morning, which builds up your immune system and Omega and Fish Oil supplements. I always have Berocca tablets in my handbag during Strictly rehearsals and stick one into my water bottle if I need a bit of energy – it peps me up.” HOLIDAYS “Paul and I never took many holidays as he didn’t like them. But I would always plan us a trip somewhere hot and sunny, usually in…

‘There is pressure to balance work and family’ It’s been 15 years since her explosive exit from Albert Square, but Tamzin Outhwaite is making her return to EastEnders as feisty Mel Owen in the new year. And the actress tells Closer it was her two daughters – Florence, nine, and Marnie, five – that encouraged her to take on the role, because filming in Borehamwood is so close to their North London home. Tamzin, 46, says, “When I ask my kids for advice, they always ask where filming is and whether I can come home at night. If I can, then they make me do it. My eldest Flo doesn’t even ask what the role is. They love having me around. It’s very sweet.” Tamzin first joined EastEnders in 1998 and…

‘HAVING A STYLIST MAKES ME MORE ADVENTUROUS’ 6AM: My alarm goes off and I always hit snooze. After, I jot down my goals for the day to give me a positive mindset. I avoid checking my phone as I hate being caught up in other people’s nonsense before my day has begun! My fiancé Nick [Feeney] usually brings me a cup of tea in bed. 7:30AM: I always plan my outfits the night before. I mostly wear high street – Matalan, Zara and Topshop. On Loose Women we have a stylist, which inspires me to be more adventurous. I’m wearing lots of prints at the moment. 9AM: I never leave the house without my trusty Lululemon rucksack. It’s packed with all my essentials, including Santal 33 perfume, Nurture Replenish moisturiser,…

STRICTLY’S KATYA How much do you spend a week? My husband [dancer Neil Jones] and I are away a lot touring with Strictly so our meals are provided. When we’re at home, we only buy groceries for one meal so we don’t waste food. We can spend anything between £30 and £50 a week. Describe your daily diet... Breakfast is either porridge with honey or berries, or poached eggs with avocado and salmon. The catering on the Strictly tour is amazing, so lunch can be something like baked fish with salad or salmon teriyaki. I often skip dinner if I’m on tour as I can’t dance on a full stomach but, at home I’ll have lamb with quinoa or couscous, or a bunless chicken burger. I also snack on nuts…

Pain, bloating and nausea are just a few of the unpleasant symptoms associated with IBS, and, unfortunately, treatment can be hit-and-miss. However, a simple but revolutionary diet plan, based on cutting out “trigger” carbs, is gaining popularity among sufferers. The FODMAP diet – which avoids certain foods such as bread, milk, onions, garlic bulbs and pears – is recommended by the NHS as a potential way of lessening some of the discomfort, and is effective for at least 70 per cent of those who try it. “Specific types of carbohydrates – found in certain fruits, vegetables and other food groups – are what people with IBS should try avoiding,” explains Dr Laura Elliott, who follows the diet herself. “The problem with these carbs is that they are poorly absorbed in…

What was it like to film in Blackpool? Oh, I love Blackpool. We used to go there on family holidays when I was younger, so it was a treat to stay there again. We were blessed with glorious weather for the first few days so we saw Blackpool at its best. You play coach tour guide Gemma. How would you react if passengers started to die mysteriously around you? Oh, I don’t think I would ever get myself in such a situation. I have enough trouble sorting travel for myself, I could never organise it for others. I got on the wrong train the other week and ended up in Crewe three times on the same journey. Being a tour guide is definitely not in my DNA. Tell us a…

❛SHE ISN’T KEEN ON THE PROSPECT OF A KARDASHIAN-STYLE SHOW❜ His family have been documenting every aspect of their LA trip all over social media – attending a string of A-list bashes, dining at some of the town’s biggest celebrity hotspots and ensuring every moment is as star-studded as possible. And now insiders tell Closer , that TV presenter Mark Wright, who is currently living in the US, is convinced he and his sisters Jessica, 32, Natalya, 17, and their parents have the potential to be “the next Kardashians” and become the biggest British stars America has seen in years. A source reveals, “Mark knows how much his family love LA. His sister, Jess, has struggled back home to find love and settle down like she’d hoped and would love…

❛SHE’S GIVEN UP THE STRICT DIETS AND HARSH FITNESS REGIMES❜ She has suffered a well-documented battle with her weight, previously admitting that she was desperate to “hide away” because of cruel fat-shaming jibes that were hurled at her in the street, and attributing her body struggle to being single, telling Closer, “If I was slimmer, I’d go on more dates.” REUNION But Gemma Collins appeared to have performed a dramatic U-turn last week, when she was pictured proudly flaunting her size 20 curves in a sheer swimsuit while on holiday in Tenerife. And insiders say she’s finally learning to love her body since getting back in touch with her ex Stephen Mortimer. A source says, “Gemma’s been on a mission to sex-up her image since Stephen came back on the…

She’s had a difficult couple of months – with claims husband Kieran Hayler had cheated again, her mum’s terminal lung disease and a humiliating public spat with Love Island star Chris Hughes. And last week, after previously cancelling a number of shows, Jordan sensationally postponed her one-woman tour due to “personal circumstances”. Fans were outraged – with one posting on social media, “She’s lost so many fans through being selfish, really unprofessional to pull the plug.” Jordan, aka Katie Price, was forced to cancel recent shows in Manchester and London after she reportedly received an email warning her that unless she paid £50,000 in cash, her disabled son Harvey, 15, would be kidnapped and have his face “smashed in”. Now sources say the terrified star is too fearful to continue…

FEARNE COTTON TV presenter and mum-of-two Fearne, 36, took to her Instagram page last year to blast edited snaps. Sharing a picture of herself without any make-up or filters, she said, “Our social media culture is getting way out of control with filters/editing/ perfect snap shots, which are leading to acute pin pointing of so-called imperfections. So here I am. No make-up, greasy hair, tired mum eye bags, bottom brace, unplucked brows, and happy.” KYLIE JENNER The 20-year-old reality star is one of the most followed people on Instagram, and has recently admitted to feeling under pressure to take the ideal selfie, even admitting to deleting snaps if she gets any immediate negative comments. She said, “Posting a selfie is hard because there’s a lot of pressure. It just has…

He’s the proud dad to four children, and Peter Andre admits that with the chaos in his household, his ten-year-old daughter Princess (who he affectionately calls Bista) helps him run the show. Pete, 44, who is also dad to Junior, 12, with ex Katie Price, and Amelia, three, and 11-month-old Theo, with wife Emily MacDonagh, laughs, “The other day I was making pancakes and I had Theo grabbing hold of my leg and Bista on my back – there’s always madness in the house. “Bista is amazing – she always tidies up and she’s obsessed with washing up. I couldn’t do it without her.” And Pete gushed that he’s smitten with Emily, 28, after two years of marriage. He says, “Emily is always so glamorous, I don’t know how she…

MADE A BIG LIFE CHANGE STEPH: Getting into this industry is probably the biggest change we’ve made. And spending more time in London, so less at our home – which is also a hotel – in Sandwich. We’re embracing it because who gets to do this at 50? It’s ridiculous. It’s what you hope life will be all about and I think if I were younger it would turn my head a little. We have some experience and respect what it is, so we enjoy it a bit more. Imagine doing this with your best friend all the time; it’s just brilliant. HURT SOMEONE’S FEELINGS DOM: At the last hotel, where we filmed our new TV show One Star To Five Star [where the pair try to improve other people’s…

HAVING SURGERY “I’m not worrying about ageing and I don’t like the idea of plastic surgery. Face lifts, liposuction, Botox – they all seem barbaric. If I think about collagen fillers around my lips, there are a lot of people that come into my head: Leslie Ash, Meg Ryan and Melanie Griffith.” HER BFF NICOLE APPLETON “We’ve [Nicole and I have] both got friends in the public eye and those who aren’t – and they’re all a good support and a great group. I’m good at helping friends with their problems. It stems from nosiness.” SPLASHING OUT “Although I love clothes, I don’t spend loads of money on them. I’ll splurge on a handbag instead. My favourite one is a white Mulberry tote, but I never pay full price for…

JUST LANDED LASH LOVE MAYBELLINE LASH SENSATIONAL PRIMER MASCARA WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT? It’s a new way of prepping your lashes for mascara, in the same way you’d use a primer before putting on foundation. WHY IT WORKS: The primer is a pale white shade, which can look a bit bizarre when you first apply it. But we really noticed our mascara glided on easier, and our lashes looked doubly thicker. We’re impressed! GET THE LOOK...

‘I’d love more kids – I’ve always been really motherly’ She posed in an unairbushed underwear shoot with her Loose Women co-stars and made a tongue-in-cheek video in a bikini showing off her “saggy boobs” and “muffin top”, so it’s fair to say Stacey Solomon does her bit for promoting body confidence. And when we sit down with Stacey for a chat, it’s clear how passionate she is about women feeling good about themselves in a world where we are flooded with images of airbrushed bodies on social media. “It’s so easy to scroll down your news feed and think, ‘Why don’t I look like her?’” Stacey says. “But the truth is a lot of what we see on social media and in advertising isn’t real. Everyone has body hang-ups…

We all know how important a balanced diet is and that’s especially true for children, but we’ve never been more time- poor so anything that’s good and quick to knock up is a winner in our books. Princes’ range of fish makes any meal great and there are loads of varieties to choose from. Tuna is high in protein and low in saturated fat, while mackerel is packed with healthy fish oils – just what growing brains need – and, when served with rice or pasta, vegetables or salad, make a balanced lunch. So, if you’re short on time but want to serve something the whole family will love, reach for Princes’ fish. SPICY TOMATO MACKEREL WITH RICE INGREDIENTS • 1 x 250g pack microwave long grain rice• 2 x 125g cans…

WHY A DAIRY-FREE DIET CAN BE DANGEROUS Experts are warning that iodine deficiency is on the rise as more of us ditch dairy. Dr Christian explains why it’s a worry The World Health Organisation says iodine deficiency is the world’s most prevalent, yet easily preventable, cause of brain damage, because it makes the hormones that control fetal development – especially brain development. It’s also important for your metabolism. FADDY EATING The reason it’s suddenly a worry – and that 70 per cent of teenage girls are now deficient – is probably faddy diets. Cows’ milk is our main source of iodine, providing 40 per cent of our daily intake, but milk-alternatives like soya and rice only contain around two per cent of the iodine found in semi-skimmed cows’ milk. Young…

BREAKFAST: Wholesome porridge. Warm up porridge oats with unsweetened almond milk, adding blueberries, raspberries, half a chopped banana and mixed seeds. Or try a green smoothie with 45g baby spinach, 300ml almond milk, 100g banana and 1tbsp peanut butter. LUNCH: Pasta salad. Boil gluten-free pasta and mix with tinned tuna or chicken, chopped tomatoes, red pepper, spinach, romaine lettuce, the green parts of spring onions and cucumber.

As the Wrights touched down in the States, Mark treated his parents, Mark Snr and Carol, plus sisters Jess and Natalya to a fancy dinner at celebrity restaurant The Pink Taco . His family spent the day at Universal Studios watching Mark film his TV show, Extra , and later shared pictures of them all cuddling up to his co-star, presenter Mario Lopez. They rubbed shoulders with A-listers Kim Kardashian, Amal Clooney and Cindy Crawford at the ’70s-themed Casamigos Halloween party, hosted by George Clooney on the Sunset Strip. The family all shared fun posts on social media from their hike to the Hollywood hills. Natalya gave LA the seal of approval, calling it her “new favourite place”, meanwhile Mark took off his shirt to pose at the famous hotspot.…

❛SHE’S NEVER GOT OVER LUCY’S ‘AFFAIR’ WITH MARK AND HAS HELD A GRUDGE EVER SINCE’ She’s been teasing fans that she’ll be jetting out to the Australian jungle for the next series of I’m A Celeb!. Now pals say Lauren Goodger is hoping to use the opportunity to dish out some revenge on former TOWIE co-star Lucy Mecklenburgh, by getting close to her partner Ryan Thomas, who’s also rumoured to be joining her Down Under. Pals say Lauren, 31, has been waiting to get her own back on Lucy, 26 – whose rumoured fling with her on/off boyfriend of ten years, Mark Wright, 30 – caused fiery run-ins on the show. The warring pair continued their spats off camera, with Lauren branding Lucy and Mark’s relationship as “fake”, which led…

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were pictured looking miserable as they celebrated her 37th birthday in LA last week, and the rapper was noticeably absent from her elaborate Halloween celebrations – which saw her attend a series of star-studded bashes alone. Now insiders say tension has been building between the couple for weeks as Kim, 37, grows concerned about Kanye’s closeness to their surrogate. Kim revealed in a trailer for Keeping Up With The Kardashians in September that she and Kanye, 40, were expecting their third child and their surrogate – thought to be a married college graduate with two kids of her own – is reportedly due in January. A source reveals, “Kim knows it’s important she and Kanye maintain a good relationship with the surrogate, but she feels…

She left onlookers shocked during a drag queen show in Manchester last week, after she took a swipe at her former Atomic Kitten bandmate Natasha Hamilton – branding her a “toxic c*** ”. And sources say Kerry Katona’s shock comments could be the final nail in the coffin of her friendship with Natasha, 35, and former Atomic Kitten star Liz McClarnon, 36. A source reveals, “Kerry tried to get in touch with Natasha and Liz after her comments, but they have both blocked her calls so far.” Kerry, 37, and Natasha have had a notoriously rocky friendship over the years. The pair were reported to be at constant loggerheads during the early days of Atomic Kitten, and Kerry was said to have riled Natasha in 2012 when she insisted she…

❛I DIDN’T TAKE AS GOOD CARE OF MYSELF AS I SHOULD HAVE❜ Famed for being the bubbly TV presenter who has graced our screens since her teens, Fearne Cotton bravely spoke out earlier this year about her battle with depression, and credited spending time with her family for helping her combat the harrowing disorder. But sharing her experience of motherhood, the 36 year old – who has son Rex, four, and daughter Honey, two, with husband Jesse Wood and is also stepmum to his children Arthur, 15, and Lola, 12 – admits she took on too much after the birth of her second child and realised she needed to take better care of herself. FEELING ALIENATED She says, “When I gave birth to my daughter, Honey, I felt invincible and…

“I go to the gym twice a week, which is the best stress-buster. I switch off my phone so I can just concentrate on what I’m doing and don’t have to talk to anyone. I feel happier when I’m fitter.” “I love speaking to guys, but there have been times when I’ve dated because I’m scared of being on my own. But as you get older, you realise you don’t need someone else to make you feel good.” “Diet is so important – if you eat bad food then it does bring you down. I love juicing, you get an immediate perk. I eat healthily, but you just feel sluggish if you start bingeing on junk.”…

She’s just been filming a new fitness show with ITV, where she encourages members of the public to shed pounds, but Vicky Pattison says keeping her own weight – and the trolls – at bay is a struggle. The former Geordie Shore star – who lost 3st in 2013 – has been under fire from trolls who have accused her of regaining weight and photoshopping her photos. Vicky, 29, who is engaged to businessman John Noble, says, “It’s a struggle to keep my weight in check every day. I feel like I can’t win. My priorities have changed, though. I’ve settled down and grown up and I’m in a happier place, so everything else doesn’t bother me any more.”…

‘I do get upset, but Paul would be so proud of me’ She’s been lighting up our screens on Strictly, admitting on the show that she was missing her late husband, Paul Daniels, and that he would have “encouraged” her to enjoy the experience. And, 18 months after Debbie McGee tragically lost Paul to a brain tumour, the former magician’s assistant admits that she is tentatively open to the idea of finding new love. Debbie, 58, says, “None of us want to be alone. I’m trying to let life take me where I’m meant to go. But you have to meet the person you want to go out with, don’t you? “I’m content with my life as it is at the moment. My grief is getting better – the good…

❛THERE IS NO CURE. HOWEVER, DOCTORS DID SHOW ME HOW TO SLOT MY BONES BACK INTO POSITION❜ When Sarah Riggs’ husband cheekily suggests an early night, she has to spend a whole day psyching herself up for the pain it could cause. For the mum of two suffers from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) – a condition which makes her joints prone to popping out of their sockets. Sarah, 27, who lives with Trevor* , 31, and their two children in Bournemouth, says, “Lots of activities can cause my joints to dislocate, but sex is particularly dangerous so we’ve had to adapt in the bedroom. As my condition is degenerative, eventually I may not be able to have sex at all, so we have to make the most of it while we…

GET HER LOOK JENNA COLEMAN, 31 It’s hard to decide what we love most about The Victoria star’s elegant-yet-edgy outfit: her standout Burberry tartan skirt or her kick-ass bovver boots? Recreate her cool heritage-inspired look with these high-street doubles… HIGH END TO HIGH STREET SOPHISTICATED SCARLET Give your workwear wardrobe a high-fashion spin, just like Margot, with a top-to-toe scarlet outfit. Layer the pieces for maximum impact, or select one stand-out piece for a laid-back take. We can’t believe these aren’t the real deal… FASHION WORTH TALKING ABOUT! Heidi Klum, 44 Model Heidi rarely gets it wrong, and this floral kimono-style dress is another fashion hit. A front thigh split flashes just the right amount of flesh, while a tie-waist belt accentuates her enviable figure. Jamie King, 38 It looks…

Citrus tones aren’t the most popular choice in a make-up palette, especially during the cold-weather months when autumnal shades tend to take centre stage. However, zingy-hued make-up is back in the spotlight, with Hollywood star Margot Robbie sporting a lemon wash across her eyes on the red carpet. But is the vivid strip of colour the ultimate mood-boosting trick or should the tricky-to-wear hue be reserved strictly for A-listers and face-paint fanatics? We put the sunny highlighter to the test... WE TRY IT OUT: STYLE EDITOR DANIELA SAYS: “I thought I’d hate this primary shade, but I was surprised at how wearable it is once it’s been blended in a little. I think it’s all a bit ‘fancy dress’ for the middle of winter, but I would definitely give it…

‘For a treat, I opt for Fruittella 30% Less Sugar’ As the days are getting colder, at the weekend, I love nothing more than getting the family round the dining room table and pulling out the board games – Monopoly is definitely my favourite. My daughters Maddie, 14, and Kiki, ten, get very competitive, but that just adds to the fun. My mum, Roberta, pops over, too, and one game can take hours and involves lots of squabbles and giggles, but it’s a brilliant way to spend an afternoon, and it’s so lovely to have three generations around the table. Kiki and my mum often win, and Maddie and I always protest that they’ve cheated. It’s such a simple but fun way to unwind and, as we’re playing, for a…

“As a dietician and a busy working mum, I’m always thinking of ways to minimise time spent on preparing meals so I can spend more time with my family. I’m always on the lookout for well-balanced and nutritious recipes – but eating well can sometimes seem like a lot of effort after a long day at work. My go-to simple solution for busy parents is canned fish – it can be just as good as fresh, but without the hassle, and it even offers health benefits that match its fresh alternatives. Our family dinners vary, but we all look forward to a jacket potato with a protein-packed topping of canned tuna. We choose Princes Tuna in spring water or brine, or Princes Tuna Fillers, which are low in saturated fat.…

“People always worry but it’s better to do something, rather than nothing”, says Dr Christian. “If somebody isn’t breathing or their heart has stopped, tell someone to call an ambulance, then start CPR. Don’t blow into their mouth, just do chest compressions. Get the heel of your hand on the breastbone and push down hard. It’s a big squish, about 5-6cm down. Do it to the rhythm of the Bee Gees’ Staying Alive. It’s knackering, so if you have someone else there, take turns until help arrives.”…

FAMILY MATTERS SHOW KIDS THAT ‘DIFFERENT’ IS OK Scarlett Moffatt says health problems made her an easy target for bullies. Emma says we need to teach children not to judge I had big front teeth as a kid, so at school I was called “Goofy” and “Walrus”. Luckily that didn't hurt me because my parents had instilled in me from an early age that other people’s opinions were not facts and should be dismissed when they had cruel intent. However, for many children, being different or having a disability can make them feel isolated and lead to a whole host of self-esteem issues. It is your job to educate your children to treat other people with respect. The way you talk about people in your home will influence the way…
