Moving on after a break-up Being cheated on wrecks your confidence but how you deal with it is the difference between thriving and diving. This week, we’ve spoken to Khloe Kardashian (p58 ) , whose response to her split from cheating husband Lamar was to hit the gym “as a form of therapy.” Three years on, she’s strong with a killer body. Jordan, meanwhile, is still floundering after husband Kieran’s affairs and is reportedly trying to make herself feel better with surgery. If only she could focus on her emotions rather than her appearance, perhaps she could properly heal .…

She’s openly talked about her obsession with surgery, admitting that one day “you’ll only be able to tell my real age from my knees and feet.” But Jordan’s former pal Jemma Lucy has told Closer that the mum-of-five’s addiction to “chasing a younger look” ramped up after she discovered husband Kieran Hayler’s two affairs. FEELING ‘INSECURE’ Jordan and Kieran’s four-year marriage has been dogged with drama since she discovered he’d had affairs with two of her closest friends, Jane Pountney, 50, and Chrissy Thomas, 43, in 2014. Despite reconciling and Kieran being treated for sex addiction, Jordan – real name Katie Price – took a shock six-week break from her role as a panellist on Loose Women in October last year, saying: “I thought I had dealt with it,” but…

They both attended the same charity event in Malibu last week, and insiders reveal Courteney Cox took the opportunity to have an emotional chat with pal Jennifer Aniston’s ex, Brad Pitt, amid his divorce from second wife Angelina Jolie. Courteney, 52, has previously defended her friend – who split from Brad in 2005 – after she was dragged into the bitter divorce, insisting: “It’s not about Jennifer... We’re exacerbating it by even talking about it.” GOOD FRIENDS Now insiders say Courteney – who’s engaged to Snow Patrol singer Johnny McDaid, 40 – was eager to smooth things over with Brad, 53, who she hasn’t had contact with since he allegedly left Jennifer for Angelina. Jennifer, 47, has since gone on to marry actor Justin Theroux. A source says: “Courteney and…

Microbiologist Tracey Jolliffe has signed up to be a donor when she dies, but she has already given a kidney, 80 pints of blood and donated eggs to help childless couples. The 50-year-old from Fife has also enrolled as a stem cell donor. Incredibly, she’s now considering donating part of her liver to save a life. She says: “The feeling of saving a life is fantastic. I believe we should all do what we can to make life as happy as possible for others. People tell me I’m an ‘angel’ but I don’t think I am. I’ve got a medical background and my parents were nurses so I’m familiar with the medical world and it doesn’t scare me.” Tracey, who’s single, first donated blood when she was 18 and has…

An 18-year-old mystery was solved last week when police discovered missing Kamiyah Mobley – who’d been kidnapped at birth – was living with the woman who snatched her and was raising the girl as her daughter. Kamiyah was less than a day old when she was taken from hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, by Gloria Williams, 51, who posed as a nurse. She’d suffered a miscarriage a week before the abduction. Social worker Williams then passed Kamiyah off as her own daughter, calling her Alexia Kelly Manigo. LIVING A LIE The breakthrough came last week after police received a new tip-off which led them to Williams. She was arrested and charged with kidnapping, and in the days that followed Kamiyah met her biological parents Shanara Mobley, 34, and Craig Aiken, 41.…

She’s famed for her wild antics on Geordie Shore and CBB as well as her love of surgery, but there’s more to Chloe Ferry than meets the eye. The party girl was a competitive ice skater and trained from the age of seven. She did 12 competitions a year and only quit when she was 19. She even had plans to go to college to study performing arts and be an ice-skating coach. But after appearing on reality show Sun… Sex & Suspicious Parents with her mum Liz, she instead joined the Geordie Shore cast. Chloe has never met her birth father, previously admitting that her mum is yet to tell her the reason why.…

£105 A Yeti microphone for hubbie Lincoln. He’s making a documentary. £30 On a bouquet of flowers for my friend who’s having a hard time, to let her know I’m thinking of her. £20 A pair of faux leather trousers. I should have spent more on them – the black is all coming off on me! £10 On a calculator for my son. He was the only one without one in an exam! £3.48 On a record by the Carpenters. My dad bought me a vintage record player for Christmas so I bought myself their LP to take me back to my childhood!…

She moved on with her toyboy Bryan Tanaka just weeks after calling off her engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer – and now Mariah Carey is speeding up the pace of her new relationship and has told pals she’s ready for a baby. As the loved-up pair – who’ve been dating since November – were pictured holding hands on their PDA-packed trip to London last week, it was revealed how Mariah, 46 had introduced her dancer beau, Bryan, 33, to her five-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe from her marriage to Nick Cannon. A source says: “Mariah’s always longed for another child and knows Bryan wants kids of his own, so seeing him with her children made her more broody. “When she told him she wanted a baby, Bryan was ecstatic…

She’s no stranger to opening up about her drama-filled personal life as a star of reality show Made In Chelsea . But Binky Felstead shocked fans last week when she announced she was pregnant with on/off boyfriend and co-star Josh “JP” Patterson, despite them having split just weeks before she discovered she was expecting. Describing the moment she took a positive pregnancy test, Binky revealed: “My first reaction when I saw it, honestly? It was “s**t.” My heart stopped. I burst into tears. Josh and I weren’t talking at the time and I was really overwhelmed.” The pair – who first got together two years ago – have split several times after Binky confessed to kissing another man on a night out. Binky admits that while they “go on dates…

Actress Tina Malone, 53, has been married to toyboy Paul Chase, 34, for seven years. She’s transformed her body in recent years and lost 12st. She says: “I’ve got more body confidence in my 50s and I’m enjoying sex more than ever. “Women spend their 20s and 30s finding out about sex – but by the time you reach your 50s you know exactly what you want. “With Paul, we don’t have to work to keep the spark alive. It’s there naturally. We walk past each other in the kitchen and kiss. “We’re both sex mad anyway but our love life has definitely improved since I’ve lost weight. Now I have lots more mirrors in the bedroom. We’ll still be having sex when I’m 73!”…

STYLE CRUSH! GLITZY WINNER Emma Willis, 40 The Big Brother host proves you don’t need a floor-sweeper to stand out on the red carpet, hosting last week's Brit Awards nominations show in this cool yet eye-catching sparkly bomber and jumpsuit combo. Does she ever have an off day? WHO WORE IT BEST? Kristen Bell Vs Lily Collins A metallic Maria Lucia Hohan frock is a guaranteed head-turner and both ladies look incredible. Back in November, Lily chose the shorter version, with a thigh-high split to show off her Charlotte Olympia shoes. Then, last week Kristen flaunted a floor-sweeping rose gold version, teaming it with striking red lips and a gold clutch. VERDICT Sometimes less is more, giving Lily this week’s style crown. Liz Hurley, 51 In a bold blue frock…

His ripped body has earned him an army of fans, but despite spending a gruelling year training as a boxer for new documentary Idris Elba: Fighter, he says nothing compares to the biggest challenge in his life: being a dad. Actor Idris says he decided to train as a professional kickboxer to become “the fittest I’ve ever been,” as well as to satisfy a 25-year itch. However, the 6ft 2 star admits it wasn’t easy. “I was very unfit when I started and had two slipped discs. I don’t have a big ego but I definitely took a beating. Training to be a professional kickboxer is one of the toughest things I’ve ever done,” explains Idris, 44, who shot to stardom in The Wire and Luther. “But nothing compares to…

Actress Emma Stone’s use of two tones on her peepers worked beautifully on the red carpet – and couldn’t be easier to recreate for an instant brightening effect. Pick an eye shadow, then a shimmery liner in a lighter, complementary shade. Start by sweeping the powder across your eyelids and up to the socket crease, using a soft brush. Take your eyeliner and trace along your lower lashes, then up to the inner corners of your eyes before layering your lashes with two coats of lengthening mascara. Finish with a soft, natural-looking lipstick to avoid a colour clash and you’ll be all set for a statement-making look for day or night.…

‘After the gym, I feel so sexy – I don’t care if I’m sweaty and red!’ Whether it’s bum implants, baby bumps or Botox, the Kardashians’ bodies are always in the limelight. But the biggest talking point recently is Khloe’s dramatic transformation. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has dropped 2∂st and slimmed from a UK size 14 to a 10. But Khloe is keen to stress her transformation didn’t happen overnight and she worked hard for her body rather than resorting to surgery. She says: “I was going to the gym for three and a half years before I got recognition. All of a sudden someone said to me: ‘Why have you lost so much weight so quickly?’ I was like, ‘It has taken a long time!’ I…

THE MOVES After having her son Axl Jack in 2013, Fergie, 41, built a dance studio at home so she could ease herself back into exercise. She says it was the “best gift” she’s ever given herself. These days, she maintains her svelte figure by hiking, power walking, doing squats and running with her actor husband Josh Duhamel. THE FOODS Fergie reportedly eats every three hours to boost her metabolism. Typically, breakfast is an omelette with wholegrain toast, lunch is a shredded chicken, avocado and grapefruit salad, then dinner is salmon, cous cous and veggies. She snacks on almonds, berries, popcorn or rice crackers with soft cheese. THE CHEAT The singer was a huge fan of belly dancing combined with kundalini yoga throughout her pregnancy and she has continued to…

TV’s Sarah Willingham reveals how to take control of your finances & make the most of your cash “I have incurable skin disorder hidradenitis suppurativa, which causes painful boil-like lumps. It makes it hard to sit and move around, so I took redundancy from my admin job a couple of years ago with a lump sum of £14k – but I only have £1k left. Because the condition only flares up now and then, a medical interview determined I’m still able to work so I receive Jobseeker’s Allowance. I know I’d struggle with a job, but I don’t want to live on benefits, so I feel my only option is to run my own business from home – ideally designing shoes. I’ve just started a site (www.customena.com), where I sell…

A recent study found that 75 per cent of parents agreed they had a favourite child. While I found the statistic upsetting, I sadly wasn’t surprised because one of the major issues that many of my clients confront in therapy is a feeling that they were not liked as much as a sister or brother. Ultimately, this suspicion has created serious insecurities for them. As a parent, it is important to ensure that your children feel liked and loved equally – here’s my advice... HOW TO TREAT THEM EQUALLY • REASSURE. Sometimes you will spend more time with one child, watching them in sports or a play. Reassure your other children that they are loved and create pockets of “mum” time to devote to each child. • EXPLAIN. If one…

1 APPLE TREE YARD GRIPPING DRAMA CONTINUES SUN 29 JAN, 9PM, BBC1 If you didn’t catch episode one of this, WATCH IT NOW on iPlayer. After the horrific events of last time, Yvonne (the brill Emily Watson) falls to pieces, and it’s lover-boy Costley (Ben Chaplin, we wouldn’t say no) she confides in – not her slightly dull hubby. Mr Knight-In-Shining-Armour steps in to help and well, frankly, the poor woman plunges from one horrible nightmare into another. 2 MY 600LB LIFE STORIES OF THE OBESE THU 2 FEB, 9PM, TLC Another batch of morbidly obese folk are all hoping to ditch the pounds so they can lead normal lives again.

...EXCEPT WHEN THEY’RE WORLDS APART…

‘Kim’s told Kanye her family are always her priority’ She’s been slowly making her way back into the public eye since the terrifying jewellery heist in Paris, which led her to take a three-month break from the spotlight. But last week signalled Kim Kardashian’s comeback after she made her first public appearance in Dubai and glammed up to film a cameo in upcoming Hollywood blockbuster Ocean’s Eight alongside her supermodel sister, Kendall Jenner. And US reports claimed Kim, was recommitting to her two-year marriage to rapper Kanye West after they were rocked by divorce rumours. Kanye also attended “intense therapy” sessions following his well-documented breakdown on stage last month, labelled as “temporary psychosis.” The couple were seen together last week with Kim’s sister Kourtney filming scenes for Keeping Up With…

‘Cheryl doesn’t want to make the same mistakes’ They’ve been a couple for over a year and are set to become first-time parents – but sources say Cheryl has been upset over recent reports she and Liam Payne have been living ‘“separate lives.” Reports they are rarely together surfaced just days after the One Direction star, 23, flew back to LA – where he’s been working on his debut solo album since September – while Cheryl, 33, remains in the UK. A source says: “Cheryl has been hurt and frustrated by the stories that she and Liam barely see each other. “It’s been hard for them over the past six months. Liam only gets a week off each month from his busy schedule to spend quality time with her.” GOING…

She’s always poised on the red carpet, but Nicole Kidman’s appearance at the Golden Globes earlier this month sparkled speculation that the actress had enjoyed “a few too many pre-award-show wines.” Reports in Woman’s Day magazine last week claimed the 49-year-old actress interrupted Tom Hiddleston’s red carpet interview, saying: “Sorry to crash. I’m so happy to be here and I’m determined to have fun. That’s why I came here and did that.” She was reportedly later seen “constantly ushering over” waiters with pizza, and “shooing away” a cocktail waitress. Nicole attended the awards with husband Keith Urban, also 49, whom Closer revealed in November had allegedly checked into an £8k, two-day “make or break” couples retreat as they worked to save their 10-year marriage. The pair denied their relationship was…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “Some people will find it very difficult to give up a loved-one’s organs. It’s completely natural to not like the idea of parts of your relation being given to different people. Others might feel jealous and angry that the death of, for example, their husband is keeping someone else alive. Don’t feel guilty if you can’t do it. “Equally, you might feel too traumatised by their death to be able to think straight. An important thing to do is to try to have a conversation with loved ones to find out what they want after death – knowing their wishes makes it easier for you when you’re grieving.”…

Zephany Nurse was days old when she was taken. The truth emerged when the 18-year-old’s biological sister attended the same school in South Africa and pupils noticed a resemblance. Zephany chose to stay with her kidnapper. Sophie Serrano, 40, discovered the daughter she’d raised for 10 years wasn’t hers following a DNA test. Manon, 21, had been swapped with another French baby by a drunk nurse. The families met but chose not to swap children. Russians Yulia and Alexei Belyaev and Yelena and Naimat Iskanderov’s daughters were accidentally switched at birth. They found out the truth 14 years later but their girls each still live with the family that raised them.…

S he’s wasted no time in creating controversy since entering the CBB house with her volatile behaviour, having branded Nicola McLean a “little bi**h” and telling Chloe Ferry to go to an escort agency “if you’re going to sell your body”. But things reached boiling point last week when Kim Woodburn was temporarily removed from the house by security during an explosive clash with housemates, which saw her brand Jamie O’Hara – Danielle Lloyd’s footballer ex-husband – an “adulterer” adding: “I wouldn’t sh*t on you if you were on fire”. But as Kim, 74, stirs up trouble in the house, details of her old life resurfaced – including pictures from her brief career as a model, stories of an abusive childhood, and her devastating admission that she’d given birth…

“I WAKE MY 15-YEAR-OLD SON LOUIS AT 7.30AM. Usually 17 times! He’s a teenager! I HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE AND A BOWL OF PORRIDGE – IT KEEPS ME ON TRACK. Then I drop Louis at school and head home to start work. I’M WRITING A SECOND NOVEL so from 10am, I work on that. I find it hard to concentrate, so I have to focus hard. AROUND 1PM, I BREAK FOR LUNCH. I have a sandwich with wholemeal bread and then either chicken, tuna or ham and salad. I have to think about what I eat, especially as I’ve got older and now I’m working from home. I’ve also quit smoking, too, which makes it harder. If I do snack, I’ll have some nuts. I’M CURRENTLY WORKING ON MY…

Even before it aired on Sunday night, BBC drama Apple Tree Yard was making headlines. But it wasn’t the sex scenes in cupboards, toilets and alleyways that created shockwaves, it was the fact that they featured a woman in her 50s. Actress Emily Watson who plays 52- year-old year old Yvonne, a mum of two who embarks on an affair with a man she barely knows (Ben Chaplin) said: “To be playing a woman of that age who is having an affair felt great. This idea that female sexuality is the preserve of 22-year-olds is absurd. If anything, your sexuality blossoms in your late 40s and 50s.” There’s no doubt middle-aged women are enjoying sex more than ever – dating app Tinder has seen a surge in women aged between…

She spent last week sunbathing on a beach in St. Lucia, but after photos of Ella Henderson in a black bikini were published, she became the victim of cruel online taunts over her curvier figure. But the 21-year-old singer – who finished in sixth place on The X Factor in 2012 – has received plenty of support from her loyal fans. Many praised her confidence, with one writing: “Wish people wouldn’t body shame @EllaHenderson she’s happy the way she is, and beautiful inside and out!” While another added: “So what, she’s put a bit of weight on! She’s young, she can lose it if she wants to.” BODY CONSCIOUS In 2012, Ella bravely opened up about her body issues, revealing that she became underweight when she was 15 after losing…

She gave birth to their daughter, Milena, seven months ago – and while Kristina Rihanoff happily confesses Ben Cohen has given her a diamond ring, she says they haven’t set a date yet. Speaking to Closer recently, Kristina showed off a beautiful sparkler on her middle finger but, pre-empting a wedding question, she laughed: “I got a ring but don’t start! I was thrilled with it but we’re not planning a wedding yet! “We loved our first Christmas together all as a family. My mum, Ben’s mum, his girls, his brother and wife were all over at our house and it was incredible.” LOVING FAMILY LIFE Kristina, 39, and Ben, 38, have been hitting the headlines since they were partnered up on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013. After Ben’s 11-year…

RUMOURS HE DATED MADONNA LAST YEAR: “Am I sleeping with Madonna? No! Don’t believe the hype!” REALISING HE WAS ATTRACTIVE TO WOMEN: “Probably [when I was] about 14. My mate’s sister and all her girlfriends used to come over, and they were all older than us. All the girls fancied me — and I knew it. I knew it!” BEING SEDUCED BY HOLLYWOOD: “I won’t be moving out there. I love the UK. I grew up in east London and I love it. That’s where my roots will always be.”…

1 FLORAL FINISH Pricey, but this light mist instantly gave dry hair a fresh and super-shiny finish, and the gorgeous rose scent lingered all day . 2 SMOOTH AND SHINE We loved how much extra shine this spray provided without feeling heavy, and it worked wonders to keep flyaways at bay on straightened hair. 3 FRIZZ FIGHTER Great for curly hair in particular, this smoothed frizz to leave tresses looking polished and healthy. There wasn’t any stickiness and the subtle scent and silky finish left hair feeling salon-fresh.…

Khloe’s personal trainer Gunnar Peterson puts her incredible transformation down to daily gym sessions. “She’s an everyday girl!” he told us. “She’s really diligent about doing cardio and resistance training, and she loves boxing. But we mix up her sessions every day. The squats and lunges she does are pretty tough.” When it comes to her diet, Gunnar says Khloe’s secret is not eating processed food. He reveals: “She eats clean and keeps food as close to its natural state as possible.” Khloe herself has said previously that she’s made simple swaps in her diet to make it healthier. She’s swapped noodles for spiralised zucchini or squash, cheese dips for houmous and ice cream for frozen bananas. She says: “I feel so much better when I eat right so it’s…

What’s your biggest fear? I’m scared of failure, and not moving forward in life. What’s your worst habit? Plastic surgery used to be, but now my worst habit is choosing the wrong men! When’s the last time you said “I love you”? To my children, Georgia, 22, and Papaya, four. What animal would you be? A lion, then I’d never take any rubbish from anyone. Where is your happy place? On the tennis court; I go there to just escape. Describe yourself… Complicated, sensitive and kind. How do you cope with conflict? I hate any kind of conflict or confrontation – I try to avoid it at all costs. • Alicia features in Celebrity Botched Up Bodies, Sundays, 10pm, Channel 5…

You play Ms Hubble in The Worst Witch – tell us a bit about her? I play Julie Hubble, Mildred’s mum – and I mostly get called into school to defend her when things go wrong. She’s a bit of a hippy; she looks like she’s done a lot of travelling and had some wild younger days! You were filming over the summer last year, was it a lot of fun? Oh, it was really good fun! Raquel (Downton Abbey’s Raquel Cassidy) and Clare (Doctor Who actress Clare Higgins) who play the two headmistresses are fantastic in it. I’ve worked with Clare before when we played army wives together on a series called Homefront. Amanda Holden guest stars as well (as Miss Pentangle – headmistress of…

She’s never been shy about her love of plastic surgery – but last week, Jordan’s shocking appearance sparked speculation that years of going under the knife is seriously taking its toll. The mum-of-five – real name Katie Price – shocked onlookers with her visibly puffy face and larger than usual lips, and looked barely recognisable from this time last year. Now insiders say her inner circle and husband Kieran Hayler are worried that the former glamour model – who has reportedly spent over £100,000 on plastic surgery, including Botox, lip fillers, cheek fillers, liposuction, bum lifts, a nose job and eleven boob jobs – is seriously damaging herself with relentless cosmetic surgery. ‘INCREDIBLY OVERDONE’ Celebrity plastic surgeon Alex Karidis tells Closer he thinks 38-year-old Jordan is putting her looks at…

She referred to life with her two-week old son as her “favourite chapter yet.” But Steph Davis’ precious first few days of motherhood were marred last week when her ex, Jeremy McConnell, who has repeatedly demanded a paternity test, captioned a Snapchat video with “get the kid a physcoligist” (sic). However, a pal later claimed it was not aimed at the newborn and that “the kid” was Jeremy. Days later, Ex On The Beach star Joshua Ritchie, 22 – who Steph had a fling with last May after she announced her pregnancy – threw doubt on the baby’s paternity once again when he joked he was “worried she could be turning up on my doorstep.” Joshua claimed last week he’d spoken to Steph shortly after revealing he could be the…

THE TROPHY HUNTER Eric, 33, will be running The Trump Organization with his brother, Donald Jr. He set up the charity The Eric Trump Foundation in 2006. In 2010 he was slammed by PETA for trophy hunting leopards and crocodiles in Africa. In an interview in 2012, his brother Donald Jr said their dad doesn’t hunt and “really doesn’t understand why Eric and I hunt.” THE FLASHING FIRST LADY Former model and businesswoman Melania, 46, is Trump’s third wife of 11 years but she is the first First Lady to have posed naked, most notably for the cover of British GQ. She was born in Slovenia, speaks five languages and her first major speech was ridiculed after viewers noticed it bore a remarkable similarity to one made by Michelle Obama.…

She caused shockwaves as soon as she entered the CBB house flashing her boobs, talking about being horny as she gyrated on a plastic dog and repeatedly making passes at Calum Best. Then, last week, she received a formal warning for “uninvited physical contact” when she rubbed her naked bum on a housemate. She even nodded off in the Diary Room during a chat with Big Brother because she was so hungover. Talking exclusively to Closer, her friend and former Geordie Shore castmate Sophie Kasaei says she’s concerned about Chloe, 21, in the house. She explains: “She’s just being young and daft, but it can be misunderstood. “It’s OK to get naked and be crazy on Geordie Shore, but it’s a different audience with CBB and she needs to be…

‘I’d love a long-term relationship with a woman’ On her wedding day, pretty Cody Harman looked every inch the perfect bride – but she wasn’t filled with joy at the prospect of getting married. She only walked down the aisle because she was too frightened of other people’s reactions to tell the truth – that she was transgender and believed she should have been born male. Now, nearly seven years later, Cody has transitioned – and has even become a bodybuilder complete with a rippling six-pack. Cody, 30, admits: “I knew I was doing the wrong thing by getting married – but I didn’t know how to tell everyone. I’m so much happier than I ever imagined I could be now that I’m living as a man. “I can’t believe…

Their shock romance was only revealed two weeks ago – but it seems Selena Gomez and singer The Weeknd’s relationship has already caused a feud. The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – only split from supermodel Bella Hadid, 20, in November after an 18-month relationship. Now pals say his new romance has caused ripples within Selena’s friendship group, who are all members of Taylor Swift’s exclusive“‘squad,” which includes Bella’s sister Gigi, 21. A source says: “Bella was heartbroken after seeing pictures of Abel and Selena together, and it makes it worse that Selena has so many mutual friends. She thinks she’s broken any loyalty between the pair. “Bella spoke to Gigi about it and made it clear she doesn’t want her being friendly with Selena, but it’s put her…

Amanda Lavery*, 55, an administrator from the West Midlands, tells us what drove her to cheat on Paul*, her husband of 24 years. She says: “If anyone had told me I would end up enjoying an affair in my 50s I wouldn’t have believed them. But by 2015, our kids Ben*, 22, and Gabby*, 20, had left home and empty nest syndrome hit me like a truck. I was crying, lonely and menopausal. Paul and I were barely having sex anymore because I no longer felt sexy. I felt old and stopped making an effort, and he was always tired. “I love swing dancing but Paul doesn’t, so I joined a local class to try to cheer myself up. I noticed Martin* – a retired army officer and widow…

They let cameras film their every move settling into life with baby Paul Tony – now Sam Faiers admits she’s more than ready to marry her property developer beau Paul Knightley. After meeting at Essex restaurant Sheesh in 2014, the couple were only together for five months when Sam, 26, discovered she was pregnant. Although the pair plan to buy a house together, Paul spends most of his time at Sam’s Essex home, where their romance on The Mummy Diaries has had viewers glued. Outspoken about becoming Paul’s wife – she even tried on wedding dresses last year – Sam admits to wanting a big family, but says getting married must come before having another child. The former TOWIE star says: “People ask me all the time about marriage. We…

I’m usually on the go between my home in London and the Corrie set in Manchester, so I grab a few bits from the supermarket. I spend around £40 a week. Describe your daily diet… Breakfast is always scrambled eggs – I like them with avocado. Lunch is mixed vegetable soup or a tuna niçoise salad, while dinner is baked chicken with a sweet potato and greens. The Corrie canteen serves up loads of options with a massive salad bar, so it’s easy to stay healthy at work. For snacks on set, I’ ll grab carrots and houmous or dates with peanut butter. Is there anything you refuse to eat?…

DIY DIVORCE Sadly, divorces spike at this time of year – with one in 10 couples getting divorced following the stress of the holiday period. But it’s an expensive business, and can cost a whopping £8k per person. However, a new app called amicable guides couples through an uncontested divorce process with an “expert divorce coach” for a fixed price of £950 each. A great option if there’s no animosity.

Here’s how to get the best from our healthcare system, without crippling it… RECOGNISE A REAL EMERGENCY You should only call 999, or go to A&E, with a serious or life-threatening condition. That means bleeding that won’t stop, crushing chest pain, a severe allergic reaction, a head injury that’s led you to being confused, loss of consciousness, a fit that isn’t stopping, breathing difficulties, being in a very confused state, or a serious burn. If you have a nasty, but not life-threatening injury, don’t bother A&E – go to your local minor injuries unit or urgent care centre. A nasty sprain, strain or…

From the sun-soaked shores of Guadeloupe to the streets of London; how did it feel to be filming DIP on home turf for the first time? It was absolutely freezing! But of course I was back to moaning about the heat as soon as we got back in the sun… This was the first time I’ve shot in London for about four and a half years. It’s noisier and there are different challenges, like more people wandering past on the South Bank while we’re filming – but it was fantastic to be back home for a bit. What are Humphrey and co doing in the UK? There’s a case that starts on Saint Marie involving some bankers. We go to their hotel but they’ve already left,…

“It’s been a really difficult time for Moira, but she’s realised she needs to get a grip and get control back in her life,” says Natalie J Robb, who plays the troubled Dales dweller. “I’ve absolutely no idea if she will get back with Cain – certainly not in the near future! She feels it’s easier for her to be on her own, so she’s pushing people away a little bit. Moira was a bit naughty with Pete but she likes the younger man and needed a bit of a cuddle… She’s definitely in a better frame of mind now the New Year is here.”…
