After spending almost three decades together, TV veterans Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes announced that it was all over last week. And now insiders say TV star Holly Willoughby – who closely worked with the former couple while at This Morning – has thrown her support behind Ruth. Holly, 43, and her former co-star Phillip Schofield, 62, hosted the show Monday to Thursday – before they both quit last year – while Ruth and Eamonn, both 64, took the helm on Fridays before leaving in 2021. RESPECT And sources tell Closer that Holly – who is currently filming Netflix show Bear Hunt in Costa Rica – is keen to get in touch with Ruth following the shock news upon her return. The source says, “Holly really feels for Ruth at…

Strictly Come Dancing isn’t back on our screens until the autumn, but the show is currently facing more drama than ever before. Former fan favourite professional dancer Giovanni Pernice has reportedly left the show as three of his former celebrity partners were said to have gathered to discuss their “difficult experiences” with him – and insiders tell Closer that things are taking a toll on the show’s long-time host, Tess Daly. An insider says, “Tess is really feeling the pressure right now. Strictly is like a family and Tess sees herself as the matriarch – but she’s had to tread extremely carefully since the claims against Giovanni surfaced, rather than jumping to any conclusions or anyone’s defence. “She’s worried for everyone involved – she’s been trying to rally people and…

Congratulations are in order for Jorgie Porter, who is expecting another baby with fiancé Ollie Piotrowski. The Hollyoaks star, 36, shared the happy news on her ITVBe show Drama Queens, where she told the camera, “So guys, guess what? I am pregnant.” It’s wonderful news for Jorgie, who had admitted in an earlier episode of the show that Ollie was “tentative” about having more children due to the “risks” involved for her. In 2021, the actress miscarried quadruplets. The couple went on to welcome their son, Forest, in 2022.…

Mimii Ngulube Portsmouth-born Mimii, 24, is hoping to find a “confident man” on the show – but the mental health nurse adds, “I won’t do anything I wouldn’t do on the outside. I’ll always have in my mind that I’ve got family at home.” Patsy Field Office administrator Patsy, 29, is hoping to raise awareness of her disability, Erb’s Palsy. The star also has some Islander insight, revealing, “I know Sophie [Piper] through being friends with her sister, Lili. They didn’t know that I was coming on!” Sam Taylor 23-year-old hairstylist Sam, from Chesterfield, might be pulling the girls for more than chats, joking, “I’ll probably do all the girls’ hair!” He adds, “I’m just a flirty personality, but I think that’s because of my job. Sometimes, I don’t know…

Since leaving her role as the loveable Heather Trott on EastEnders back in 2012, it seemed Cheryl Fergison was enjoying life out of the spotlight as a mother and wife – but in recent weeks, the star has revealed that she’s actually been battling a terrifying cancer diagnosis. Just three years after leaving the show in 2015, the actress was diagnosed with stage two womb cancer after experiencing backaches and spotting blood. Cheryl, 58, then underwent a full hysterectomy, triggering early menopause. But despite getting rid of the tumour, the star exclusively tells Closer that she struggled mentally with the idea of having cancerous cells, which led her to a terrifying bout of self-harm. “I hate the word self-harm, but I was harming myself,” she says. “I was getting hot…

ADD A SPLASH OF COLOUR For a burst of summer colour, Jack recommends dahlias, gladioli, begonias, cosmos and nlcoiana, which he says has a lovely scent. “When you’re designing your garden, think of the colour, the longevity of the plant and whether you want to use it as a cut flower in the house,” he advises. “If you like to fill vases with summer bouquets, dahlias, cosmos, sweet peas and larkspur will do well. You can scatter cosmos onto the soil in a wild seed mix, or buy it in packs of six small plug plants.” When you buy your plug plants, Jack recommends cutting the growing tips just above a leaf. “This encourages it to shoot out sideways, and you’ll get more flowers over the summer. Keep cosmos and…

RELATIONSHIPS FOLLOW THE RULES AROUND REBOUND SEX Anna reveals how to navigate intimacy with a new partner after you’ve been through a relationship break-up There’s a lot of truth in the phrase “You’ve got to get under someone to get over someone”, but there is a huge difference between rebound sex and revenge sex. Rebound sex is about wanting to feel appreciated, to have your body enjoyed, to get all of those feelgood hormones flooding around your body. It can boost self-esteem and self-confidence, but only if you choose someone who treats you respectfully and appreciates your body through consensual, safe sex. Revenge sex is designed to punish and hurt the other person, which can be very destructive. It can leave you feeling worse than you did before, whereas rebound…

What can viewers expect from the new series? NICKY CAMPBELL, 63: More incredible stories of people being given back their identities. They are given a new life ahead – one they never thought they’d have. A life where they understand where they came from, why and who. Which of the stories surprised you the most or had the biggest impact on you? DAVINA MCCALL, 56: One that really blew my mind was Steve’s [episode two]. Back in the day there were unethical foster parents, who were literally farming foster kids because they could make money from it. So in Steve’s case, there was no record of this man until he was nine months old. But he is now in his 60s and finding out information about himself for the first time…

NEWS They struck-up a close friendship working on This Morning – with Rylan Clark dubbing Ruth Langford as one of the friends he could “count on one hand” and Ruth labelling Rylan her “showbiz son”. And insiders say the former X Factor star, 35 – whose own divorce from ex-husband Dan Neal in 2021 left him suicidal – has been Ruth’s rock amid her marriage breakdown from husband Eamonn Holmes. A source says, “Rylan’s been Ruth’s rock recently, picking her up when she’s been at her lowest, coaching her through the emotions, being on the other end of the phone whenever she’s needed him and generally being her crutch during one of the most difficult times in her life. “This has been something Ruth’s been quietly navigating for a while…

‘ SHE’S BEEN SO TOUCHED BY THE OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT ’ Kate Middleton is said to be “touched” as tens of thousands of Get Well cards and gifts have been delivered to Buckingham Palace after her brave admission that she is undergoing preventative chemotherapy. And after the Princess of Wales’ spokesperson previously said she “may be keen to attend events as and when she feels able to”, rumours swirled last week that she may not return to public life until 2025. Last week, it was confirmed that Kate would not be attending the Trooping the Colour rehearsal – which King Charles is down to attend, as he goes through his own cancer treatment himself. And an insider claimed last week, “Kate’s diary for this year is empty, there is nothing…

Ongoing speculation that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is on the rocks intensified last week with reports that the couple’s issues have been “exacerbated” by disagreements over finances and parenting. A source close to the Golden Globe-winning actor and the On The Floor singer – who tied the knot in July 2022 – claimed that their issues are “complex” and that they’re “taking some space to work out whether or not the relationship is right for both of them”. Meanwhile, a source linked to J-Lo, 54, alleged that things between the pair “began coming to a head a few months ago”, during which time she has thrown herself into work, namely gearing up for her upcoming This Is Me… Live tour. It was also reported that Ben, 51 –…

She’s never been shy about her love for younger men, and now, following her recent split from boyfriend Josh Popper, it seems that Madonna is eyeing up another toyboy to fill the romantic gap in her life. The Open Your Heart singer, 65, is said to have “grown close” to boxer Richard Riakprohe, 34, who she met through fashion friends. Madonna and Richard set tongues wagging last week with a cheeky picture on her Instagram Story of her perched on Richard’s lap, captioned “I had to sit somewhere”. Richard has even teased that Madonna might come to watch him box in June. “Madonna says she’s going to come down if she’s in London. She said she wants to come to the fight,” he said. The rumoured romance comes quickly on…

MAYA: ‘I’m here for the drama – and this season will be dramatic!’ It’s wild to think that it was just last year that Maya Jama hosted her first Love Island series. But despite being an established part of the show at this stage, Maya says she never wants to get too comfortable. “I’m always here for the drama,” she tells Closer. “It can’t just be smooth sailing the whole time. You need something to rough it up a bit. Since I’ve joined, all four seasons have been absolutely dramatic.” In fact, the presenter, 29, deliberately likes to be in the dark about plans for the show until she arrives in sunny Mallorca for the first time. “I never want to know anything about the show until I’m here, mainly…

As she fixes a sparkly tiara in place, Mandy Corbett takes in her handiwork and gives her model a kiss. Mandy has spent hours making an extravagant lace gown complete with a snowflake-inspired crown. It’s a work of art and she knows Lindy will steal the show when she struts her stuff on stage at the next pageant. She’s right. With her jaw-dropping costume, sassy personality and amazing trick repertoire, Lindy walks away with yet another winning rosette.

But she…

“These kebabs are great for summertime grilling as rump is a lean cut that cooks quickly while remaining tender. Marinate the kebabs overnight for even more flavour.” DR MARK HYMAN’S SMOKY TURKISH BEEF KEBABS STEP 1 For the kebabs: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, onion, tomato purée, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, cayenne and black pepper.

Feel numb to the entire swiping experience? Having chats with the same carbon copy answers? Going on dates that feel identical to all your previous ones? Then it’s quite likely you’re suffering from dating burnout. It’s a Gen Z thing, didn’t you know! But if you want to be down with the kids, it’s fair enough if every generation feels the same. I’ve felt this multiple times, it doesn’t have to be because of anything malevolent such as unsolicited messages or pictures – it can simply be that you’ve had enough. Enough of ghosting, or breadcrumbing or zombieing and all the other mad movements that happen in the dating world. Sometimes you just have enough of things ending up the same way: staying single. I hear you. I relate on…

Wedding bells have been ringing for Millie Bobby Brown, after she secretly married model Jake Bongiovi last month. The Stranger Things star, 20, married 22-year-old Jake – the son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi – in a “small family wedding” just over a year after the couple announced their engagement. According to reports, the pair, who met in 2021, are planning a bigger bash to celebrate their marriage later this year.

For Gavin And Stacey fans, the recent announcement that the show is returning this Christmas for one last episode brought great joy. And the news has been made all the more exciting with reports that Sheridan Smith – who played Rudi in the show – is joining the cast too. The hit sitcom, starring Mathew Horne and Joanna Page, which originally aired from 2007 to 2010, will be back on our screens for a show finale, five years after the last special. But Sheridan’s character Rudi was notably missing from the most recent reunion – potentially due to the fact that Sheridan, 42, had dated the show’s creator and co-star James Corden, before splitting in 2009. So things could be awkward on set as the actress – whose West End…

LISA RILEY: ‘Growing flowers has helped me through grief Emmerdale star Lisa Riley shares her passion for gardening and discusses the power of nature GARDEN SPECIAL! We’re used to seeing her on our screens playing Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale, but when the cameras stop rolling, actress Lisa Riley says being outdoors and gardening brings her some much-needed downtime. She tells Closer, “My mind is full of my scripts most of the time so, when I’m out in nature, it’s the one time when I feel truly free. There are no distractions. I’m very lucky that where I live, we have a long canal and I spend Sunday mornings walking along it, noticing when the plants and trees are blooming and admiring the beautiful colours. As everyone knows, yellow is my favourite…

STAR OF FLETCHERS ON THE FARM, LIZ FLETCHER, 41, ON HOW SHE LOOKS AFTER HER BODY AND MIND BEING OUTSIDE IS THE BEST FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH… With four children to look after, going to the gym or yoga classes isn’t realistic. There is a great quote that says, “Whenever it gets overwhelming, go outside.” It resonates with me because it really does help.
