Tina Malone and Chloe Madeley have extreme bodies. Tina has put hers through gastric band surgery, a pregnancy at 50 and now £50,000 worth of ops to cut away flabby skin. She’s proud to show her scars as she knows she’s on her way to her dream figure. Meanwhile, Chloe has created an incredible super-athletic figure through hard slog at the gym and radically overhauling her diet, which involves daily sacrifice. Both women are very different but when it comes to their goals they have the same attitude. Nothing will stop them!…

ROB KARDASHIAN The 28-year-old has barely featured in Keeping Up With The Kardashians for the past two years. It’s rumoured that his embarrassment about his 7st weight gain led him to shun the spotlight, along with a strained relationship with big sister Kim, after he left her wedding to Kanye West early last May. But he’s said to be making a comeback soon – lured by a £1.3m paycheck – and is on a diet and fitness plan, recently losing over a stone. FIFI GELDOF Fifi is the self-styled “unknown Geldof.” Her sister Peaches, who tragically died from a heroin overdose last year aged 25, was in the public eye due to her presenting career, and little sister Pixie, 24, is a model and singer. It’s also said that Tiger…

He was seen with his new girlfriend, actress Sonia Ben Ammar, in Paris last week, but pals say Brooklyn Beckham has known her for almost a year. As Closer previously reported, Brooklyn, 16 – who was linked to US actress Chloe Moretz, 18, last year – met Sonia, 16, during a holiday to the Maldives in January. A source says: “Brooklyn started hanging out with Sonia soon after they met and she’s visited him in London. She has a successful acting career in France and has been brought up in a wealthy family, so they have a lot in common. He’s smitten with her. They talk every day.” Pals say his mum, Posh, has given the romance her approval. A source adds: “Victoria thinks Sonia is gorgeous. Sonia adores Harper…

Richard Cushworth and Mercedes Casanellas made headlines last week after it was alleged their three-month-old baby had been swapped at birth and sold to traffickers by the doctor. British-born Richard, who lives in Texas, and his wife Mercedes made a public plea for their baby’s return after DNA tests showed Jacob, who they’d cared for since birth, was not actually theirs. A TERRIBLE MIX-UP Mercedes revealed that after she’d given birth on 21 May, after briefly seeing their newborn son he was whisked away. When they next saw him, Mercedes was convinced she’d been handed the wrong baby as his facial features were different and his skin was darker, but doctors assured her she was wrong. She said: “I didn’t want to think about the idea of a switch as…

Newlyweds Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan looked every inch the perfect celeb couple as they posed at the TV Choice Awards last week. But behind the scenes, onlookers witnessed a different mood with Michelle, 28, seemingly declining to do any interviews with Mark, also 28. A source says: “Michelle and Mark were all smiles for pictures, but as soon as that stopped you could see tension between them. They looked uncomfortable in each other’s company and she appeared to have left him to do interviews on his own.” Last week, Mark revealed they’ve no plans to work together, saying: “We wouldn’t host a show together, no. Michelle is focusing on her acting at the moment.” However insiders reveal Mark – who is rumoured to be starring on ITV’s Ninja Warrior…

Winter blooms make for a great date-night print, while the midi length keeps the cut oh-so flattering. A preppy polo neck in ’80s disco lurex ensures this sweater ticks off two trends at once. A skinny jean should be a staple in every curvy cool girl’s closet. Downward stripes give a cool boyfriend vibe, but the colour combo is what I’m loving most. Everyone needs a dream purchase, and this lilac suede biker jacket is awesome. You won’t regret it! The split on this vampy, red suede skirt adds a super-hot twist. I adore. The geo-print on this fine-knit dress makes it my daytime hero buy. Co-ords are where it’s at right now. The longline jacket and flared pants combo is flattering to the max. Designer-esque boots that come in…

THE MOVES After giving birth to her son Alfie in March, Catherine admitted getting back into shape was “hard work,” but says she didn’t put pressure on herself. After giving her body time to recover, the actress got back to the gym and now trains as much as she can. She says: “I do a lot of weight training, but I’ve recently discovered spinning classes and I can already feel the benefits.” THE FOODS The size 10 actress is known for only eating things that have “ran, swam or grown from the earth.” She says: “I have a fruit smoothie and salmon and eggs first thing. Lunch is a chicken salad, then I’ll make something like fish and greens for dinner.” And if she’s craving something sweet, she’ll snack on…

At Asda in the Trafford Centre in Manchester, because it’s nearby, but it means I’m always wandering in to the other shops, which is dangerous! I spend £200 a week for me and my mum. What’s your typical daily diet? For breakfast, I’ll have salmon and scrambled eggs or, if I feel like something carby, I’ll have muesli and semi-skimmed milk. For lunch, I like a hearty chicken soup or a chicken Caesar salad. In the evening, I cook steak with broccoli, mushrooms and chunky chips or a chicken pasta bake.

It’s National Eczema Week, and as roughly 20 per cent of children and 10 per cent of adults suffer with symptoms including severe itching and inflamed, broken, red, dry and scaly skin, it’s a great time to update your knowledge of potential triggers. Another 1.8 million of us battle psoriasis, where the natural skin replacement process speeds up, resulting in an abundance of skin cells, which cause flaky, itchy skin. Here are the latest treatments… BEAUTY HURTS Our grans washed with a solitary bar of soap, but we use bubble baths, shower gels, shaving gels, exfoliants, cleansers, toners and moisturisers in all different combinations. This means we’re exposed to hundreds of chemicals and fragrances, and we’re likely to react to some of them. Pare back your beauty regime and see…

Laura Potter, 33, a Closer writer, tested GynaeCheck. “My first smear test was fine, but my second was different. The nurse was rough and it was painful. This isn’t normal – I was unlucky – but it still put me off. So being able to test at home is fantastic news. The price tag doesn’t put me off – foregoing a shopping spree for my health is a no-brainer. The kit arrives discreetly in the post, and it’s no different from inserting a tampon – then you press the button at the end of the tester, hold for three seconds, and release to collect fluid from your cervix. You then take the tester out, press the button and deposit the fluid into the test tube to…

I SPENT MY FIRST PAY CHEQUE ON… I bought a buy-to-let property, which I rent out. THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN IS… My Mercedes G Wagon 350 – it cost £80,000. THE LAST THING I BOUGHT WAS… Matching black Converse for my wife Chloe and our son, Ace [11 months]. ARE YOU A SPENDER OR A SAVER? A bit of both!

Andy – His brother did kill off his missus, so he's got a pretty good incentive. Ross – He owns the murder weapon and is trying very hard to get rid of it. Chas – Gutted to realise Aaron was involved (and Rob irritated her a lot). Aaron – Now that Robert is out of the way, he can finally shake off his guilt. Paddy – Getting his own back on Robert for turning the gun on him that time? Lawrence – Infuriated to find out it was Robert who was behind the break-in.

They’ve managed to pack more drama – including a temporary split – into their first year of marriage than most people would in a lifetime. But insiders say Kerry Katona is determined to have a fresh start with husband George Kay, and now plans to renew their vows. TROUBLED TIMES The decision comes after a roller-coaster few months for the couple. In July, Kerry, 35, kicked George out of their family home after he admitted turning to booze to cope when he was affected by Bell’s palsy – a condition which paralysed half of his face – saying: “I wasn’t a nice person to live with.” Their problems then escalated when Kerry discovered George, 34, had been arrested in July on suspicion of conspiracy to commit robbery – the charges…

She’s bared many secrets on her family’s reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians – banking her a £55m fortune and making her one of the world’s most famous celebrities. But sources say Kim Kardashian has been left terrified following reports that her sister Khloe’s ex-husband Lamar Odom and sister Kourtney’s former partner, Scott Disick, could make shocking claims about the family in a tell-all book. BITTER EXES Khloe ended her five-year marriage to Lamar in December 2013 amid reports he was using drugs and had been unfaithful. Last month, Lamar spoke about Khloe in an interview, just days after he reportedly “abused and verbally attacked her.” And Kourtney, who has three children with Scott, called time on her troubled nine-year relationship in June this year, when he was caught…

His long-awaited dream to star in Strictly Come Dancing became a reality last week when Peter Andre made his debut on the show. But insiders reveal that as Peter, 42, revels in his big moment, his ex-wife Jordan – real name Katie Price – is hatching a plan to steal the spotlight. A source reveals: “Katie saw Strictly and couldn’t stop watching Peter’s bit. She was also checking social media to see what viewers thought of him. She isn’t happy with the idea of Peter becoming a national treasure off the back of Strictly. She wants to put a plan in place to steal the spotlight back from him and have the attention on herself.” Last month, Jordan – who’s been filming a new reality show – broke down when…

She claimed her stormy relationship with toyboy Tom Richards was over in February, after branding him a “cheating scumbag.” But insiders say ex-EastEnders star Danniella Westbrook, 41, is secretly seeing Tom again and has even hinted to friends that they’d love to have a baby together. A source says: “Danniella thinks a baby could fix her and Tom’s relationship, but her pals fear that running back into such a turbulent relationship and falling pregnant is a dangerous move. However, Danniella thinks they can make it work this time.” Mum-of-two Danniella – who has Kai, 18, and Jody, 14 – got engaged to cage fighter Tom, 25, in April 2014, after a whirlwind romance of just over three months. This followed her split from her husband of 12 years, Kevin Jenkins.…

Closer’s psychologist Emma Kenny says: “The babies will have developed an attachment to the women who’ve been raising them, so they’ll experience some trauma when they’re separated, but this will be short term because of their age. It’ll be much harder for the mothers. They’ll have bonded with the child they were nursing. After the exchange, they could experience grief and trauma and guilt they hadn’t taken action sooner. They’ll feel joy to be reunited with their biological baby, but when that subsides, they may continue to struggle with the fact they were robbed of the chance to bond with their child in the first days of their baby’s life. The mums could also suffer paranoia about being separated again and possibly become overprotective. Although the families may agree to…

She was snapped cosying up to new boyfriend Bryan Randall last week, just days after the pair reportedly enjoyed a romantic double date with newlywed pals Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. But after reports emerged that the 49-year-old photographer had previously battled a drug addiction and been sued over unpaid child support for his now 22-year-old daughter Skylar, pals fear Sandra Bullock may have fallen for the wrong guy once again. Sandra – who has five-year-old adopted son Louis – was left devastated in 2010 when, just days after winning the Best Actress Oscar for her role in The Blind Side, it was revealed her husband of five years, motorcycle mechanic Jesse James, had been unfaithful with a string of other women. A source reveals: “Sandra and Bryan have been…

When 15-year-old Megan Mutch began dating Chris Wilson in 2010, she thought he was the perfect boyfriend and even lost her virginity to him. Shockingly, eight months into their relationship, police told Megan that her boyfriend – who she had believed was 16 – was in fact a 23-year-old woman called Christine Wilson, who had duped Megan into believing she was a boy by using a sex toy. Police had launched an investigation after another victim had come forward and Megan believes that person told the police about her, too. FIRST LOVE In court in 2013, Wilson admitted to two charges of obtaining sexual intimacy by fraud – but not sex with a minor – after it was revealed she’d seduced another 15-year-old girl in 2008. However, after hearing that…

KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY As any parent knows, there’s little reward for the seemingly never-ending stress, strain and worry of raising kids. Until, that is, they reach their teenage years, when you can get your own back by going all out to embarrass them in any way possible. And let’s face it, it doesn’t take much! Which is why I doff my cap to mickey-taking mum and dad, Nancy and Craig Musson. After their student daughter Emily posted a series of loved-up selfies of herself with new boyfriend Johnny, Nancy, 55, and Craig, 53, decided to recreate the cringey poses and post them on their Facebook page. Miffed Emily, from New York, tried to get her own back by Tweeting the images with a caption “my parents r on…

‘I’ve spent time at the Calais camp – but I still don’t think we can take the refugees in’ “I recently visited the camp in Calais – where around 5,000 people are battling to get into Britain – for a documentary I’m filming. I went prepared to be tough and assumed that a lot of people were just trying to come to our country to claim benefits and live an easy life. “I was shocked by the conditions. Most of the people were men; I was told the women and children are in other camps. A lot of the men insisted they weren’t looking to claim benefits and many were skilled workers. Many are fleeing their countries to avoid being murdered. And the women face awful threats of rape. “But…

TRADE SECRETS… Spa director and beauty therapist Jo Bullock advises to always use a toner. She says: “When we cleanse, our skin’s pH is naturally raised. Using a toner, particularly post-sun exposure, restores skin to its natural pH level, eliminating that tight and dry feeling.” ON TRIAL This week, we tried plum lipsticks from £1.99 to £28. Here are our top three 1 FOR PALE BEAUTIES Insanely creamy, this could be worn all week without lips suffocating from lack of moisture! It’s a lighter plum shade, which is a perfect, less draining match for fair ladies and redheads, and it had a pretty, slight sheen finish. 2 NO NEED TO REAPPLY This was just like a liquid lipstick – and suits all skin tones. Layered up, it spread colour evenly…

Her final cosmetic surgery was just two weeks ago and, as we meet Tina Malone for Closer’s exclusive shoot, the actress is still suffering from water retention and swelling. However, she’s already ecstatic with the results of her £50,000 surgery overhaul – which saw her lose almost 1st of loose skin. “I finally feel happy with myself,” says the 52-year-old, while confidently stripping off to reveal her new body. “I still have some swelling, but I am over the moon with the results already. I’ll be a size 8 by Christmas with the body of my dreams!” BINGO WINGS Tina – who had daughter Flame at 50 with toyboy husband Paul Chase in 2013 – lost more than 11st in 19 months when she had a gastric band fitted five…

JENNA COLEMAN: ‘I’m hanging around on Doctor Who’ Doctor Who’s back this week, and while darting about in a blue police box fighting Daleks and the like might not be everyone’s cup of tea, at least sidekick Jenna Coleman injects a spot of glam into the proceedings – and has a bit of fun in the process, so it would seem. “I’ve done a lot of hanging upside-down this series,” she tells us. “Upside-down on a cliff in Tenerife was new – it looks so easy but it’s not at all! We could only film it in spurts, and I had a scene where I was hanging outside of the TARDIS, too, so that seems to be one of my specialities this time around.” Jenna, 29 – who sadly won’t…

He shot to fame at 16 as heartthrob Joe Wicks in EastEnders , but last week actor Paul Nicholls became the latest in a long line of soap stars to be caught up in a drug abuse scandal. Paul was allegedly filmed smoking crack cocaine at a friend’s flat in his hometown of Bolton three weeks ago. Paul, 36, who recently appeared in acclaimed drama The C-Word alongside Sheridan Smith, admitted in the past to battling with drink and drugs before turning teetotal in 2008, saying: “I was well on my way to a total breakdown. I was drinking a lot and taking drugs. Everything spun out of control and I had an appetite for craziness.” A spokesperson for Paul was unavailable for comment.…

In February this year Sophie Serrano, from France, received compensation from a clinic after her daughter was swapped at birth with another baby girl by a drunk nurse. She discovered she’d raised the wrong child, Manon, when she was 10. When she met her biological child, she described the moment as “incredibly moving” yet “disturbing.” Neither family suggested swapping the girls back and years later contact ceased as it was too painful. In 2007, Jaroslava Cermak and her husband Jan, and Jaroslava Trojanova and her partner Libor Broza discovered their 10-month-old baby daughters had been switched after being born just 18 minutes apart in December 2006 in a Czech hospital. The girls were handed back to their biological parents just days before their first birthdays.…

Closer’s psychologist Emma Kenny says: “Sandra is a successful actress and doesn’t need a man to take care of her. It appears she likes to be the nurturer. She adopted Louis and I’m sure she loves having someone in her life who depends on her. With relationships, Sandra seems to go for men who she can take care of and isn’t afraid to take on someone with emotional baggage. With Bryan, she probably sees all the things he’s battled through as a sign of strength. Perhaps she believes this will make him appreciative of her. It’s a huge gamble to take.”…

Last week, 25-year-old Gayle Newland appeared in court accused of posing as a man in a bid to have sex with another woman. Chester Crown Court heard how Newland, calling herself Kye, wore bandages to disguise her female body, and covered her hair with a hat. She is said to have befriended the victim, also 25, on Facebook, before meeting up with her in various hotels for sex. Newland was alleged to have made her wear a blindfold during intercourse, claiming cancer treatment had left her with muscle wastage, which made her feel self-conscious. But the two-year relationship ended when the victim removed the blindfold to discover Newland simulating sex with a sex toy. Newland denied five counts of sexual assault, and at the time Closer went to press the…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Laura Bailey vs Olivia Palermo This is a fairy-tale gown if ever we saw one and both ladies look every bit the modern-day princess in this stunning Valentino number. Fashionista Olivia teams the embroidered maxi with swept-back hair, simple make-up and a fringed clutch, while model Laura opts for a similar hairdo and a simple black clutch. VERDICT It’s a close call, but we can’t help but feel Olivia’s drowning a little bit in this. STYLE CRUSH! FLOWER POWER Dakota Johnson, 25 There’s no denying that American actress Dakota looked bloomin’ lovely in this gorgeous poppy frock. And with her hair swept back and no accessories, she let the dress do all the talking. Plus, the burnt orange print against the black background is a great…

ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH? As a general guideline, you should eat 0.8g of protein for every kg you weigh. This works out at around 55g per day for the average 11st woman. One egg = 6g Average salmon fillet = 21g Average chicken breast = 19g 100g of peanut butter = 22g 100g of nuts and seeds = 33g 200ml semi-skimmed milk = 7.2g 100g of lentils = 9g Once the domain of body builders, many of us are now turning to a protein-packed diet to lose weight, replenish after a workout and get an energy boost. Sales of protein products are at an all-time high, with us Brits spending £200m on protein powders, shakes, bars and snacks last year. “High-protein isn’t just for body builders and fitness fanatics,” says…

SINGER AND ACTRESS DIANA VICKERS, 24, REVEALS ALL… When’s the last time you said “I love you”? I always say it to my sister SARAH: “DON Charlotte, who I live with, at the end of the day. Where’s your happy place? Anywhere abroad, holding a glass of bubbles. Describe yourself in three words… Excitable, chatty, anxious. How do you cope with conflict? I can be quite snappy. If someone does something to hurt me, I’ll always defend myself. I’m from Blackburn, after all! If you were an animal, what would you be and why? An elephant. They have wonderful souls. What’s your proudest achievement? Lasting so long in showbiz. I’m grateful I’ve got this far. Diana stars in British thriller Awaiting, out on DVD 7 Sept.…

When did you have your last smear test? If you’ve been putting it off, you aren’t alone. Five million of us aren’t up-to-date with our cervical screenings, with a million admitting they’ve never even had one done. “Each year 3,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer, – the most common cancer in women under 35,” says Dr Pixie McKenna. “But it’s largely treatable if discovered early.” HOME TESTING Statistics show that most women who don’t regularly go for a smear blame a previous bad experience, or anxiety about pain or embarrassment. Half also say they struggle to get an appointment. But the answer may be here, as this month GynaeHealth UK are launching GynaeCheck, a new £129 self-sampling device. “The test detects the human papilloma virus (HPV), the cause of…

“I graduated with a diploma in acting from The Academy Of Creative Training in Brighton last summer. I was excited about forging a career as an actress and moved to London as that’s where the work is. But the living costs were high and, after five months, I had to move to Somerset to live with my mother. Acting work is thin on the ground here, so I have taken a cleaning job – I earn £100 per week. I only pay my mum £60 rent per month, but I am struggling with student debts. “I took out a £10,000 career development loan to cover my diploma costs because the course I took didn’t qualify for a university student loan. They have suggested I pay it back at £250 per…
