It seemed like the fairytale Jordan had imagined when, just weeks after going public with toyboy Carl Woods, she sparked engagement rumours, saying the former Love Islander had her “energy, time, love and soul forever”. But last month, her dream quickly came crashing down when Jordan, 42, broke both of her feet jumping from a wall, leaving her using a wheelchair and unable to walk for up to six months. Reports last week also claimed she would be bedbound and unable to have sex for a fortnight following a six-hour operation. And on her YouTube channel, the star told fans she’d suffer from arthritis for the rest of her life and that it would take two years for her to properly get back on her feet. TEARFUL Following her spell…

With online clothing sales booming during lockdown, more and more young people are turning to “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) options to pay. BNPL is a form of credit used by online retailers where shoppers pay back their purchases in gradual instalments – but shockingly, 60 per cent of the UK population doesn’t consider this to be “real” debt. BNPL app Klarna is the UK market leader, with over 8 million customers. Klarna saw a surge in revenues at the start of lockdown but, worryingly, 45 per cent of young people who have used a BNPL scheme in the last year have missed at least one payment. Finance author Alice Tapper has launched a campaign, Go Fund Yourself, and is urging for better regulation of BNPL apps. Alice tells Closer,…

Pete Cohen is bestselling author of 11 books about making positive life changes and weight loss, such as Habit Busting and Life DIY, and says that losing weight provides the power to better a person’s mental wellbeing. Pete says, “Deep down, people know when they’re overweight, which leads to a feeling of them having no control, insecurities and self-doubt. They then eat because it comforts them, so it’s a vicious circle. “But what the likes of Adele have realised is that it’s about making lifestyle changes to allow them to be healthier forever. “Eating nutritious food, drinking more water and moving more is good for you, not bad, which is why your brain rewards you by releasing feel-good chemicals like endorphins, which in turn help you feel positive and give…

‘I feel so sorry for those heartbroken students’ My heart goes out to those young people who are suffering so much stress and uncertainty over the A-level and GCSE results fiasco. Even though some have better grades after the government’s U-turn over the failed computer model, many are experiencing disappointment or a mad scramble to change their college or university places. That’s unfair, because they’ve studied so hard for so long in order to move on to the next phase in their lives . Preparing for big exams is stressful enough, and then added to that was the anxiety around the pandemic, so to have all this chopping and changing with their futures is heartbreaking for them. When I was in school, I suffered from alopecia because I felt under…

They’ve been married for nine years, but Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch looked like they were still in the honeymoon period, as the lovebirds were pictured kissing and giggling as they soaked up the sun in Sardinia last week – and fans rushed to praise them for their adoration of each other. “I love that they’re so loved-up, it’s really refreshing. They’re a couple without pretence and have genuine love for each other,” one wrote, while another commented, “Love this couple, Abs loves the bones off of him.” The pair met back in 2006 in a Liverpool bar, with Abbey recently confessing, “I saw Pete and knew he was the one for me.” In 2010, they hit a rocky patch when ex-footballer Peter was accused of cheating on her with…

‘It was like having a teenager in the house!’ They were once so loved-up that she boasted about having sex every day. But after five months of just the two of them stuck at home during lockdown, Chloe Madeley reveals there have been some tense moments between her and her husband, former rugby ace James Haskell. She tells Closer, “We’re both strong characters and that’s what attracted us to each other and keeps us together, but it can also be a ticking time bomb and cause mayhem! As soon as lockdown hit, James got out the Xbox, and all day, every day, that’s all he did. At first I thought it was sweet that he was relaxing, but by week five, I flipped. All my friends said the same about…

FAMILY MATTERS GIVE KIDS FREEDOM TO EXPLORE When children enjoy solo activities outdoors, they build strong bonds with nature – Emma reveals why that’s so helpful Children spend around four to seven minutes a day enjoying unstructured outdoor play, compared to an average of seven and a half hours on screens. It’s why a growing body of research warns children are suffering from “nature deficit disorder”, making them more likely to be overweight, stressed and anxious, hyperactive and exhausted – the opposite of what every parent wants. By increasing their time outdoors, and helping them to fall in love with nature, you can reverse those risks. Schedule at least an hour outside with your children every weekday and several hours each weekend. Maybe download the Leaf Snap UK app so…

My first thought when I saw this headline was, “What the hell is this ‘skinny jab’?” But when I read into it, I felt reassured. It’s a known drug, and it looks like it will be pretty well regulated. It’s very expensive, at £260 a month, though, and a lot of appointments are needed, both of which could deter people. DON’T BUY ONLINE With LloydsPharmacy, people need a consultation to prove they have a BMI above 30, or above 27 with a weight-related comorbidity (so more than one health condition). That immediately makes it safer than “skinny jabs” you can buy online, because someone is checking your weight. That’s important, because you shouldn’t be having these injections if you just have a few pounds to shed. My concern is that…

STEP 1 – CLEANSE & TONE Dr Jane Mason, head of product development at Q&A, says, “Cleansing is the most important skincare step. Toners aren’t essential, but remove leftover product, giving skin an extra clean feel. Use options that exfoliate or soothe.” PIXI ROSE TONIC TONER £10 AT M&S STEP 2 – APPLY A SUPER SERUM “Your skincare steps should start with the lightest product first: serum. Therefore, always make this the first product you apply after cleansing. This gives those light products the best chance to completely absorb and get working.” Q+A PEPTIDE FACIAL SERUM £9 AT FEELUNIQUE STEP 3 – TARGET EYES “Eye creams, gels or serums tend to be lighter and thinner, so apply these before your moisturiser.

Sair Khan, 32, who’s played Alya since 2014, has played a major part in the storyline about Geoff’s coercive control of Yasmeen. “Geoff is so unpredictable that Alya has to tread carefully around him,” she says. “But Elaine’s revelations have undoubtedly scared Alya and she doesn’t know what else he could be capable of. He just has this incredible gift where anything he says seems to boil her blood!” Well, he certainly does this week when Alya smashes up Speed Daal. “It was so much fun to film those scenes,” she laughs.…

You’re back with a new episode… HUGH: It celebrates the progress we have made, but also opens the door on some new problems. There is still so much more work to do to remove pointless plastic from our lives. ANITA: The response to the first three shows was huge, so I’d often get asked if we were filming any more. You called for everyone to join the #ourplasticfeedback campaign? ANITA: The initiative gave the great British public a voice. We all watched in horror at Sir David Attenborough revealing what plastic is doing to our oceans, and we needed to know what we could do about it. HUGH: I think most people want to live a more sustainable, environmentally conscious life, so when we gave everyone the opportunity to express…

As her £1million High Court showdown with Rebekah Vardy looms Coleen Rooney is bracing herself for intimate details about her private life with husband Wayne to be exposed. One of the false stories Coleen infamously planted to try to identify the person she believed was leaking stories from her private Instagram account was that she was considering gender selection to have a girl. The post claimed she had flown to Mexico to consider the £8,000 treatment in August 2019, and the story appeared in a national newspaper shortly afterwards. In the explosive public statement that followed, which saw her dubbed “Wagatha Christie” by fans, Coleen, 34, said the posts had restricted access and were only viewed by an account belonging to Rebekah – who denies the allegations and is seeking…

Fans went into a frenzy last week when it was announced that Jennifer Aniston and her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, were reuniting on screen for the first time since Brad appeared on then-wife Jen’s show Friends nearly 20 years ago. Along with Julia Roberts, Morgan Freeman and Matthew McConaughey, they were set to take part last week in a charity all-star table reading of hit ’80s movie comedy, Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Now, insiders reveal that Jen, 51, is once again “closer than ever” to Brad, 56, despite briefly drifting apart when he and his estranged wife Angelina Jolie made amends in May. The warring exes were said to have reconciled for daughter Shiloh’s 14th birthday, as well as twins Knox and Vivienne’s 12th birthday celebrations in the summer. But…

A few weeks ago, something devastating happened to our family – our pet English bulldog, Buzz, was taken from just outside our house. Watching back the CCTV of somebody scooping him up and putting him into a van was absolutely heartbreaking, and we were worried that something bad was going to happen to him. Luckily for us, we had a happy ending, as we managed to get him back. But I’ve since learned that we aren’t the only ones to have gone through this agony, as animal thefts – especially dog thefts – have soared a whopping 65 per cent during lockdown as criminal gangs swoop amid a surge in prices for people at home desperate to have a pet. Thieves now see taking other people’s pets as an easy…

Three years after his divorce from ex-wife Louise, Jamie Redknapp is reportedly dating Swedish model, Frida Andersson-Lourie. News of their romance came as former Strictly star Louise, 45, enjoyed a sunshine getaway in Ibiza. Jamie, 47, and mum-of-four Frida, 37, are said to have grown close after being introduced through mutual friends, with sources saying he is happy to be with someone “who has kids too and is financially secure”. Frida, 37, is divorced from US hedge fund tycoon Jonathan Lourie, 58. Her Instagram says she’s a “Mamma of 4 bonkers gorgeous kiddies”. After 19 years of marriage, Jamie and Louise’s divorce was finalised in a 25-second court hearing in 2017. The pair have maintained an amicable relationship and co-parent their two sons Charley, 15, and Beau, 11, with Jamie…

GET UP AT A SIMILAR TIME EACH DAY You need to keep your circadian rhythm (body clock) ticking at a predictable rate. This will help with sleep, hormones and metabolism – all contributing to your mental wellbeing. WORK OUT EVERY MORNING Whether it’s before or after breakfast, this is a great way to start your day and, again, will keep your hormones and metabolism in a great spot, which is an excellent way to keep your mind in check. EAT A BALANCED DIET Try to be health-conscious throughout the day. So, eat lots of fruit and veg, wholegrains, and ideally some fatty fish.

Every year, £140 million worth of clothes end up in landfill, but Great British Sewing Bee judge Esme Young says there’s plenty we can do to keep wearing our favourites, whether they’re attacked by moths, feeling too tight or needing a bit of a refresh. “It’s all too easy to chuck something out, but often there’s a solution that means you could keep it – and you can do many repairs with just a needle and thread”, she says. “To learn a new technique, find a tutorial on YouTube.” MEND A HOLE When we get out our winter knits after being stored away during summer, often they’ve been attacked by moths – but rather than chucking them out, buy some darning yarn (it’s thicker than normal cotton) and repair them.…

I jump out of bed and let out our French Bulldog, Tilly, then have a cup of tea before Betsy and Eddie wake up. 7.30AM: Once Betsy’s up, I’ll make her some breakfast, either cereal or egg and soldiers. 8AM: I try to squeeze in a quick PT session – I like to get it out of the way.

I’m really not academic, as I went to drama school. Give me tap shoes any day, but…

1 ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL A TRULY WONDERFUL REBOOT TUE 1 SEPT, 9PM, CHANNEL 5 NEW SERIES Based on the collection of stories by James Herriot, this marvellous new drama tells the tale of the iconic vet (newcomer Nicholas Ralph), taken on as an assistant by the put-upon Siegfried Farnon (Samuel West).

Strictly’s Neil Jones has gone public with his new girlfriend Luisa Eusse, sharing a romantic snap of them together for the first time last week. His reveal comes a year after he separated from his wife and fellow Strictly star, Katya Jones, 31. Their six-year marriage hit the headlines in October 2018 when Katya was caught kissing her dance partner, comedian Seann Walsh, 34, but they only announced their split last August. The 38-year old told fans he was off the market last month during an Instagram Q&A session, adding, “I feel amazing, the best I have in years.” Luisa is a dancer and a model from Colombia, who reportedly met Neil when he was travelling around South America eight months ago. Sources say the new couple were forced apart…

It’s been over 15 years since Mis-Teeq brought us their hits, including Scandalous, One Night Stand and All I Want.

However, Sabrina insists a reunion isn’t off the cards. “I’d say never say never,” she smiles. These days, Alesha is busy on the judging panel of Britain’s Got Talent, while Su-Elise has retrained as a teacher and lives in Australia – but the girls do still speak. “Alesha, Su-Elise and I do stay in touch,” says Sabrina. “I wouldn’t say we are besties, as life takes you in different directions, but we had an amazing experience together that only we understand.

Ever chucked out a favourite item of clothing because it had a big stain on it? The experts at Loveyourclothes.org.uk say you can remove even the muckiest marks by using stuff lying about at home. One key trick is to treat it as soon as you can, rather than letting it set in. Here are their nifty tricks for the nastiest splatters and splodges...

How has lockdown been for you? Probably quite similar to most people – I definitely had a bit of a declutter! But I’m lucky because I have a house and a garden – I know people have had it a lot worse, so you won’t find me complaining. What was the first thing you did when lockdown relaxed? I had to go and see mummy Linda!
