Speaking out for other survivors We were saddened last week by the death of campaigner Jill Saward at 51. Jill was the very first rape victim in the UK to waive her anonymity and speak about her traumatic ordeal in what became known as the Ealing vicarage rape – when, in 1986, burglars brutally raped her at knifepoint while her vicar father and boyfriend were tied up. She later fearlessly campaigned for victim support and stricter laws to give more rights to sexually assaulted women, paving the way for others to come forward. On p46, we chat to Catrina Young, who, just six weeks after her wedding, discovered her husband was raping her in her sleep. Like Jill, her bravery in speaking out is humbling.…

They recently enjoyed a relaxing break in Mexico, but as Jacqueline Jossa and Dan Osbourne begin what’s set to be a big year for them, insiders say Jacqueline is having second thoughts over getting pregnant again. Pals reveal the actress is struggling to cope with her hectic EastEnders filming schedule and planning their upcoming wedding. Last week, she posted a picture online which read: “I Can’t Keep Calm, I’m Getting Married This Year!!” And friends say, Jacqueline, 24, who is mum to 23-month-old Ella with Dan, is feeling the pressure. A source says: “Jacqueline and Dan want to get married in the summer and they’re finalising all the details for the bash. They had planned to start trying for a baby straight after the wedding, but now Jacqueline is torn.…

After a record three-month break from social media, Kim Kardashian finally returned last week with a series of sweet family snaps and a heartwarming video montage. It marked a distinct turnaround in her reclusive behaviour following her terrifying ordeal in Paris last October, where she was robbed at gunpoint. Then, a month later, her husband Kanye West was hospitalised following a reported breakdown. During that time Kim, 36, also faced intense speculation her marriage was over, with multiple reports in America claiming she’d already consulted divorce lawyers, and that the couple were living apart – a claim that was further fuelled when Kim was spotted without her wedding ring. And insiders tell Closer how, despite painting a picture of a happy family life on Instagram, behind the scenes pals have…

They’ve known each other for almost a decade after meeting in 2008 to collaborate on the single Heartbreaker . And despite the ups and downs of Will.i.am and Cheryl’s friendship, the US singer couldn’t be happier she’s finally in a good place with Liam Payne. Speaking at the launch of the new series of The Voice – where Will, 41, returns as a coach – he addresses the speculation that Cheryl, 33, is expecting her first child with Liam. Will says: “She is expecting a baby, but it could be a beer belly, right? But if it’s not beer and it’s the real thing, that’s good for her. I haven’t really met Liam but I am so happy for her; she deserves it.” He adds that he’s glad Cheryl has…

She came face-to-face with her former fling Calum Best when she entered the CBB house last week, and Bianca faced a second shock when Calum’s mother, Angie, entered the house, too. The pair – both children of footballers – first met on Love Island in 2006 and it wasn’t long before Bianca described him as her “dream man” and they eventually won the show. And while they’ve since gone on to date other people, in an interview with Closer two years ago, Bianca revealed why she fell for her former flame. She told us: “I joked to friends that I’d love to be on Love Island and the next year I was asked to do the show. I thought Calum was drop dead gorgeous, so I was thrilled he was…

She broke down on TV show In Therapy last week as she recalled finding out about ex-husband Shane Richie’s affair, and revealed her worries that current husband Ray Fensome doesn’t fancy her any more. And Coleen Nolan also caused controversy on Celebrity Big Brother after clashing with housemate Angie Best. When Angie advised Coleen to give up smoking, Coleen joked: “I’m going to smash your face in.” Now, writer Samantha Brick, 45 – who was on CBB with Coleen in 2012 – says she understands why Coleen, 51, hit out at Angie, 64. Samantha tells Closer: “Living in that house is a pressure cooker, so anything on your mind is intensified. Coleen doesn’t stop talking and won’t keep her problems inside, so it doesn’t seem a good time to put…

JORDAN, 38 The ex-model calls herself a “late developer” for not having sex until her 16th birthday. When asked how many partners she’s had since, she replied: “I can count on my hands-ish how many…ish!” GAZ BEADLE, 28 Geordie Shore’s Gaz Beadle estimates he’s now had over 1,000 partners. “I’m not giving the exact number,” he said. “In this environment, and what I do, that’s where the girls come from.” AMY SCHUMER, 35 The US comedian has never revealed how many partners she’s had, but said recently: “I have moments where I feel promiscuous and moments where I feel boring, like a one-woman-one-man woman.”…

They’ve been posting loved-up selfies and have been caught on video dirty dancing together, but insiders say before Jennifer Lopez will consider taking her reported romance with Drake to the next level, she wants him to cut ties with his ex, singer Rihanna. Pop star J-Lo, 47, and rapper Drake, 30, haven’t yet confirmed they’re an item, although J-Lo was spotted wearing Drake’s necklace on a night out last week. But superstar Rihanna – who has had an on-off relationship with Drake since 2009 – appeared to signal her disapproval of the new romance by swiftly unfollowing J-Lo on social media in December. Drake, who has also been linked to stars such as Nicki Minaj, declared his “love” to Rihanna, 28, at the 2016 MTV VMAs in August – but…

KYLIE JENNER, 19 ‘ Kylie risks having a permanent trout pout’ As a half-sister to the surgery-enhanced Kardashians, it’s hardly surprising that Kylie Jenner has embraced a bit of nip and tuck. But the reality star sparked controversy in 2015 after admitting to having lip fillers at just 17, though she later admitted she went too far. Top surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe fears Kylie could end up permanently damaging her lips if she continues injecting filler. He says: “Kylie’s lower lip is much too big and looks unnatural. She runs the risk of getting a permanent trout pout.” Last week Kylie was pictured with a noticeably larger bum – something Mark believes could be the result of fat transfers and injections. BELLA HADID, 20 ‘ By 30, Bella will 2010 have…

Most celebrities are targeted by trolls on their social media accounts and Tina Malone admits she regularly receives online abuse. But the trolling has become so bad that the actress has now reported one particularly abusive and relentless Twitter user to the police. “I find people online have something to say all the time – and if they want to call me anything they want, it doesn’t bother me,” she explains. “But when it comes to being hounded, I won’t let anyone do it.” SILLY OUTFIT The abuse began when Shameless star Tina – who has gone from 19st 2lbs to 7½st after having gastric-band surgery in 2010 – took out her bins wearing a nightie and stockings for a joke, and was snapped by the paparazzi. Size 6 Tina…

THE MOVES Kady works out three times a week with Coleen Rooney’s personal trainer Sam Witter and does ab exercises and lunges with weights to focus on her bum, legs and belly. Exercise has always played an important part of her life. She says: “I’ve danced and done gymnastics since I was four and I represented my county in the athletics team, too.” THE FOODS The star, 21, has never dieted, but cuts back on carbs and sugar. Breakfast is usually scrambled eggs, lunch is a chicken salad, then dinner is a steak with sweet potato mash and green veg. She enjoys some treats and says: “Recently, after working out, a chocolate muffin was on the menu!” THE ETHOS Kady says the key to staying in shape is being sensible…

Where do you shop? My mum does all the shopping. I wouldn’t even be able to tell you where she goes, which is so bad! I know she gets a lot of fruit and veg from Aldi and food from Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s and Tesco. What is your typical daily diet? For breakfast I usually have peanut butter on gluten-free bread, or an omelette made with spinach and turkey or bacon. Lunch is normally a salad or soup, then for dinner I tend to have chicken, steak or salmon with vegetables, or a stir-fry. I snack on either fruit, a handful of nuts, low-calorie jelly or a dairy-free yoghurt. What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten? When I was in Australia recently, I ate kangaroo and crocodile! We…

MY HEALTH “The mistake I made, in a bid to live healthily, was cutting out a lot of food groups. I thought, ‘I can’t eat this, I shouldn’t eat that.’ I thought it was a healthy way to live and it’s not. I did a lot of research and the gut likes variety. My gut feeling for 2017 is this: we will stop persecuting ourselves about what we should and shouldn’t eat.”…

• SMILE! Humans are hard-wired to react to smiles. If yours is genuine and warm, the person you’re greeting will feel at ease. • MAKE EYE CONTACT Meeting someone’s gaze makes you appear honest and confident. Don’t stare without looking away, though, as this can come across as a bit intense and suggests you’re trying too hard. • DO YOUR RESEARCH Whether it’s a first date or a job interview, do your homework. Knowing a person or company’s backstory means you will come across well. • PREPARE FIVE SOLID QUESTIONS From asking them about how they like to spend their spare time to listing their favourite books or bands, having questions ready will make you feel confident and them feel valued. • DRESS THE PART Wear an outfit that gives…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… £10 a week. I’ve been acting since I was four and my mum would keep the money I earned for my roles then give me £10 a week to spend. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Playing a young Queen Elizabeth I in The Other Boleyn Girl alongside Scarlett Johansson. I didn’t really know who she was, but I remember thinking she was beautiful. I spent my first big pay cheque on a shopping spree! I spent about £500 on clothes. MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS… A MacBook Air laptop for £1,000. I also treated my sister Scarlett to a ’70s Beetle for £4,000. THE LAST THING I BOUGHT WAS… Three jumpers, a pair of leggings and a pair of jeans in Topshop for £200. SPENDER OR SAVER?…

‘I’ve been anointed by Barbra Streisand’ RICHARD ARNOLD: Richard Arnold brings us daily showbiz news on ITV’s Good Morning Britain. This month he celebrates 20 years of getting up at 4.30am, with plenty of celebrity stories to go with it… He’s been king of celeb gossip on breakfast telly for two decades, and Richard Arnold is in sparkling form as he tells Closer about his favourite brush with showbiz royalty. “Barbra Streisand stopped the interview halfway through and I thought, ‘Oh my God, what have I done?’ It was a very hot day in New York and she just leant forward with a tissue and mopped my top lip. She said: ‘We’ve got to take care of each other, right?’ Basically, I was anointed by Barbra Streisand. It was amazing…”…

So Eileen is still going through with her wedding to Phelan…? Why wouldn’t she? In her eyes it’s Phelan’s friend who’s done the dirty and left him with this carnage, so Eileen isn’t going to desert him as well. What kind of wedding is it? It’s very quiet because it would be disrespectful to have a big one after everyone lost their money. They’ve not told anyone, just the family. How does Phelan compare to Eileen’s previous love interests? Phelan is definitely the stayer. She loved Paul, the fireman, but his job terrified her and he wouldn’t give it up, so he had to go. Do you know anything about what the fans have been saying about this storyline? They all ask what Eileen is doing with Phelan when he…

...EXCEPT WHEN THEY’RE WORLDS APART…

If anyone was in doubt that Jordan – Katie Price’s alter-ego – had gone into retirement, they can rest assured she is back with a vengeance. Appearing on CBB’s Bit On The Side last week, she talked about her sex tape with ex-boyfriend Dane Bowers saying she’d been “six months pregnant with a swollen clitoris.” The mum-of-five’s revelation came just weeks after she referred to Dane as the “love of my life” during a drunken speech at a Christmas party. She also made lewd comments to the married host and was pictured stripped down to her thong in the ladies’ looking very drunk. Days later she vowed to give up booze for a year. But while the former glamour model, 38, continues to make vulgar statements in public about her…

While she loved showing off her figure on holiday in Dubai last week, insiders say Danielle Lloyd is going on a health kick now after gaining almost 2st over the past six months. Sources close to the glamour model say that despite loving her fuller size 12 figure, 5ft 6 Danielle wants to get back to a toned size 8 for baby number four with her electrician fiancé Michael O’Neill. The star, who has had several boob jobs, even posted pictures of healthy foods with the captions: “All our food prep done for the week; health kick begins.” A source says: “Danielle’s comfortable with her body but she wants to be in the best shape possible before she has another baby. She knows she has a battle on her hands…

He wasted no time in referencing the infamous sex tape he made with his ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian as he joined the Celebrity Big Brother house last week, with Ray J telling viewers to “order it – put some money in my pocket.” And in the diary room, singer Ray, 35, opened up about the footage that propelled Kim to fame, saying: “I’m being asked about the sex tape... I’m ready to tell everybody everything!” Following Ray J’s arrival in the house, Kim’s best friend and former CBB housemate Jonathan Cheban called him a “loser” on Twitter, and pals say Kim is worried about the damage Ray J could cause to her career. A source says: “Kim’s worked so hard to distance herself from that point in her past, but now…

JENNIFER HUDSON: ‘I’m slimming down for the show’ She’s almost unrecognisable from when she found fame on American Idol in 2003, having lost almost 6st in weight. But Jennifer Hudson, 35 – who won an Oscar in 2010 for her role in the movie adaptation of Dreamgirls, in which she starred alongside Beyoncé – has plans to slim down further before the live shows kick off, and has some simple rules for looking good. Jen says: “I’m going to start working out more this year so I’ll be ready for you guys! I try not to wear make-up when I’m not working and to let the skin breathe and, when it comes to eating, definitely eat what you want but in moderation. “I’m conscious of what I put in my…

She was crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother back in 2013, after spending 23 days inside the famous house. And despite confessing that she thought her “unladylike behaviour” – which saw her boozing, flashing her bum and even wetting the bed – would ruin her chances of winning the reality show, Charlotte Crosby’s career has sky-rocketed and made her a millionaire. But as the new series continues, the ex-Geordie Shore star doesn’t think legendary Lothario Calum Best, who’s had high-profile relationships with Lindsay Lohan and Sarah Harding, will live up to his playboy reputation. Charlotte, 26, predicts that former model Calum, 35, will behave on CBB because his mum Angie, 64, and former flame Bianca Gascoigne, 30 – whom he dated after they won Celebrity Love Island together in…

In 2013, it was revealed Calum had sold his story to the papers after his 2005 club tryst with model Elizabeth Jagger was caught on CCTV. He dated Girls Aloud’s Sarah Harding “for eight months of madness” in 2005, boasting that they once spent three days in bed together. In 2006, he had a brief fling with Kimberly Stewart – daughter of rocker Rod – after meeting her at London’s Silver Club. “The two of us together are combustible,” Calum admitted of dating Lindsay Lohan in 2007. They split after less than a year.…

They promised to call a truce over the festive season but insiders say relations between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are on a knife edge after the deal was scuppered at the last minute. The pair’s explosive split last September turned ugly with a bitter custody battle over their six children – Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox. COMPLETELY CRUSHED Angelina, 41, has sole custody of the kids, with Brad, 53, being allowed regular visits. Closer recently revealed how the actress had agreed to let her ex have the children for a Christmas celebration. A source says: “Angelina told Brad there had been a change of plans just a couple of days before Christmas. “He’d been looking forward to being a ‘normal…

She’s known for her colourful love life as much as her acting prowess, but Patsy Kensit admits that despite the rocky ride, she still believes in marriage – and considers her ex-husbands a part of the family. Patsy first wed Big Audio Dynamite star Dan Donovan at just 19, but they split two years later and she went on to marry Simple Minds lead singer Jim Kerr in 1992. Following the birth of their son, James, now 23, they split after four years together. Within another year, Patsy wed Oasis singer Liam Gallagher. They had a son, Lennon, now 18, but separated a year later. The actress then walked down the aisle for the fourth time with DJ Jeremy Healy in 2009, but the marriage was over in just over…

‘My figure is almost as good as it was in my 20s’ Hitting the big 6-0 hasn’t stopped Soozie Campbell achieving a six-pack and feeling sexier than ever. And it’s all thanks to her daily pole-dancing workouts. The mum-of-two is so enthused with her new hobby, she’s running a pole-dancing retreat and is hoping to get other pensioners involved, too. FUN FITNESS Soozie, from Hove, says: “I wish I’d discovered pole dancing when I was 20! But you can do it at any age – I’m as good as some of the 30-year-olds I’m learning alongside. “People can be shocked when I tell them I pole dance – it has a reputation for being sleazy. But I couldn’t be prouder of my pole-dancing skills!” Business consultant Soozie – who lives…

"I’M NORMALLY UP AT AROUND 8:30AM. I know the early bird catches the worm, but I can’t get up at the crack of dawn! If I’m filming in Pinewood for my new TV show, it’s an even earlier start – it still feels like night when I get to the studio! THE FIRST THING I DO IS CHECK THE NEW COMMENTS ON MY INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER ACCOUNTS to see if anyone has said: “I hate you, you ginger t***, I hope you die!” I then apologise and wish them well. AROUND 10AM, I’LL WATCH THIS MORNING AND LORRAINE. Then I’ll spend some time writing and drawing – I just did my colouring-in book, The Keith Lemon Official 2017 Colouring In Calendar! You’ll need…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Kate Moss vs Shakira Supermodel Kate and singer Shakira opted for different shades of this figure-flattering Stella McCartney minidress. Kate channels catwalk chic in black, while Shakira goes bold in blue, maximising her Latino glamour with big hair and a slick of berry lippie.

‘I have always loved fashion, even as a child I customised my school uniforms. My brand has been a lifetime in the making; I’m finally doing what I like. I try on the clothes, look in the mirror, and ask myself, ‘Would I wear this?’ I love changing my style, hair and make-up. Everything I’ve done in the past has made me what I am today. Whether you’ve got £20 to spend in Topshop or £2,000 to spend at Gucci, looking good isn’t about money. It’s about style, and style never goes out of fashion. I’d never wear something that’s short and tight now. Back in the day I used to wear a lot of PVC, push-up tops, catsuits and short skirts, but I look back at everything and it…

The ponytail is such a versatile look, both on and off the red carpet, and Julianne’s wrapped take on it is one of our favourites.

This isn’t new. Many medications are linked to slight hearing loss and hearing wasn’t tested in this study – women described whether they thought their hearing had deteriorated and it also didn’t consider factors like exposure to loud noise. Hearing loss is common as women age and some people need regular painkillers – being in chronic pain is more detrimental to your mental and physical health than slight hearing loss. If you’re knocking back endless painkillers, please see your GP, but don’t let this study worry you. CLOSER ONLINE FOR MORE HEALTH NEWS, VISIT WWW.CLOSERONLINE.CO.UK/ HEALTH-AND-FITNESS…

If I didn’t show an interest in my kids, they’d never tell me anything. Research suggests that teens in particular can feel uncomfortable asking their parents for support and often end up thinking nobody cares about their feelings. Parents are the first line of defence in their kids’ lives so it’s up to you to find time to catch up with them. I spend 20 minutes every day with each of my boys to discuss school, relationships, homework and whatever else. It means I know what’s happening in their worlds and they get a clear message about how much I care. For younger kids, direct questioning may not be as effective, so use role play or creative arts to explore where they are emotionally. Talking to your teen before bed…

‘She would rather Google herself than sleep with me’ Despite Jordan saying she’d remain “the best of friends” with her ex-fiancé and Argentinian model Leandro – who she split with in October 2012 after a 20-month on/ off romance – he claimed she drove him “insane.” He later admitted: “She would rather spend all day Googling her name. I’d say: “It’s better to f***!’ But she’d just say: ‘Not now.’” He also added: ”I left her simply because she is crazy. Katie’s brain is not wired right… I don’t know what’s wrong with her.” ‘Katie is a spiteful bully – she just got bored with me’ Jordan married Alex Reid in Vegas in 2010, six months after meeting, but left him 11 months later, branding it a “mistake.” Alex, who…

His shock death on Christmas Day saw an outpouring of grief from millions of fans and many celebrity pals. And last week George Michael hit the headlines again after it was revealed that police are questioning his ex-lover Fadi Fawaz amid fears he died from a drugs overdose. Hairdresser Fadi, 43, who allegedly broke up with the pop legend in 2015 after six years together, has said he was sleeping in his car before finding George dead in bed on Christmas Day. TOXICOLOGY RESULTS Despite being seen at George’s house in Oxfordshire on Christmas Eve – and originally saying he spent the weekend with him – Fadi revealed last week he fell asleep in his car and didn’t see the singer the evening before he died. George’s death is still…

He spent the festive period with pals in his favourite Essex hot spots, and rang in the new year by DJ-ing at one of the biggest nightclubs in the country. But as Mark Wright prepares to celebrate his 30th birthday later this month, pals say his wife Michelle Keegan has asked him to tone down the partying. Having previously worked as a nightclub promoter, Mark is no stranger to the party scene – he invested in his own bar, Deuces, with pal Jack Tweed in his early 20s and travelled the globe in search of weird and wild parties for his ITV2 show Party Wright Around The World. The former TOWIE star spent last summer DJ-ing across Europe, and in July was snapped taking a break from work as he…

Wyatt Wendels, 41, from Leeds, is a DJ for Bauer’s Planet Rock radio station. He suffered from depression and wants to encourage other men to speak out about the condition. He says: “My depression started when my marriage broke down in 2013. I’d been with my partner for 13 years and we have a six-year-old son together. My world felt like it had ended and I couldn’t see a future. I went to work and functioned but, inside, I wasn’t coping and I turned to sleeping pills some nights. I didn’t feel I could speak to anyone about it; I didn’t think what I was experiencing was a big deal. But gradually my thoughts got darker. I didn’t want to kill myself, but I didn’t want to live any more.…

When she unveiled herself as Caitlyn on the cover of Vanity Fair in 2015, she admitted she’d had facial feminisation surgery, which involves hairline correction as well as forehead, jaw and chin contouring. But last week the 67-year-old – formerly known as Bruce Jenner – appeared to have a slightly altered appearance. Top surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe believes the procedures Caitlyn has had done to her face need to be topped up. Mark tells Closer: “Caitlyn has a very flat nose and sagging skin, but she is quite mature so this is to be expected. “I would say she has had fillers and Botox to give her eyebrows a bit of a lift. I don’t think anything has gone wrong with her surgery but more that the procedures she’s had done…

When Bianca Gascoigne arrives for her exclusive naked photo shoot, she’s bursting with energy after a recent health kick. And as we catch up with her just before she walks into the Celebrity Big Brother house, it’s hard to believe she’s anything other than super-confident about her figure. Yet beneath her bubbly exterior, Bianca reveals she’s been plagued by body insecurities throughout her life. Bianca, 30, tells Closer: “I feel better about myself than I have done in a while, but I’ll never be completely happy with my body. I like my stomach and my thighs but I always want to lose more weight, tone up, or change something.” QUEST FOR PERFECTION The size 8 reality star has suffered with body dysmorphia since she was 18 after a break-up led…

BIANCA GASCOIGNE “I’ve met Bianca a few times from going out, and I think she’ll be brilliant. She’ s likeable and a really lovely girl, so I hope everyone gets on with her and she goes all the way to the final.” CALUM BEST “He’s got a reputation as a party boy, but I think he’ll be quieter than a lot of people expect. With his mum on the show, he might not let loose . I don’t think Angie will be very outrageous.” RAY–J “I hope he’ll be funny. He’s only been put in the house in the hope that he’ll talk about his sex tape with Kim Kardashian, and that’s what everyone wants to hear about!”…

The 33-year-old TV presenter keeps in shape with daily bursts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and has ditched dairy lattes and upped her protein.

Your body is good at “detoxifying” itself – your kidneys, liver and skin work around the clock to remove anything nasty. The idea we need to clear “toxic waste” to stay healthy is a myth.

People have colonic irrigation and are told they’ve found fish and chips from two years ago festering in their intestines. That’s rubbish! Food doesn’t stick to your colon for years. In 2009, scientists asked the makers of 15 detox products about how they worked, and none could explain what they meant by “detoxification,” let alone…

What are you scared of? My three-year-old daughter Sienna-Rae [with actor husband Alan Halsall] growing up too quickly. What’s your worst habit?

Describe yourself in three words… Loving, reliable and hard-working. • Lucy is appearing in Dance, Dance, Dance on ITV…
