One look at Suzanne Shaw’s joyous face as she lovingly cradles her baby and it’s clear she’s relishing having a newborn. After suffering postnatal depression following the birth of her eldest son, ex Hear’Say star Suzanne was determined her fears it might return wouldn’t overshadow this special time with Rafferty. “I think it will always be with me,” she says. “But the difference is I won’t let it beat me now.” Suzanne’s new confidence extends to her post- baby body as she tells us she’s in no rush to shape up. Every so often something comes along to fully captivate our attention. And for that brief time, we should savour every moment. Suzanne knows that only too well.…

They pride themselves on being an A-list power couple, but insiders say Kim Kardashian is close to reaching her limit with husband Kanye West after a series of toxic rants appeared to turn the world – and even his Hollywood circle – against him. Kanye has repeatedly hit the headlines over his erratic behaviour, and last week took to Twitter where he begged Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to invest $1billion into his music and admitted he was “$53million dollars in debt.” He said: “I write this to you my brothers while still 53 million dollars in personal debt... Please pray we overcome...” Now pals reveal Kim and Kanye flew straight to LA after an appearance at New York Fashion Week for crisis talks with Kim’s “momager” Kris Jenner. AFFECTING THE…

They’ve grown closer than ever recently since Kerry Katona split from her third husband George Kay in October after 13 months of marriage. But now pals say Jordan’s husband, Kieran Hayler, is getting worried about all the time his wife is spending with Kerry and doesn’t want them going on “single” girls’ nights out. Mum-of-five Jordan – real name Katie Price – banned Kieran from nights out after she discovered he was cheating with two of her best friends just 15 months after their whirlwind 2013 wedding. But he’s now complained about his wife’s plans for a raucous night out “on the pull” with Kerry, saying it’s double standards. FLIRTY CHATS A source says: “Kieran worries about the idea of Katie and Kerry out on the town together and it…

Chloe Shelton was only seven years old when she developed worrying signs of nutrition and they literally can’t eat. I would prefer to see someone before they’re so far advanced that I feel as if they’re slipping through my fingers.’’ Chloe, from Wigston, Leicestershire, agrees. She thinks she may not have become so dangerously ill if her eating disorder had been treated before her weight dipped so low. Growing up with mum Helen, dad Phil, both 46, and sister Danielle, 21, Chloe had a happy childhood, but, like many other eating disorder sufferers, she had low self-esteem. She says: “I felt self-conscious about my appearance and was bullied for my weight, even though I was skinny. I constantly compared myself to others.’’ While Chloe’s relationship with food was unhealthy, throwing…

Soap star Natalie Cassidy excitedly announced she was pregnant with her second child two weeks ago – and now she’s told pals she’s happy to wait for her dream wedding while she concentrates on family life with her fiancé Marc Humphreys. Natalie, 32 – who plays Sonia Fowler in EastEnders – has been with cameraman Marc for just over a year after meeting him on set, and happily Tweeted: “Evening all…Time to let everybody know that @cameramarc and I are having a baby in the summer. The three musketeers become four.” TRADITIONAL WEDDING The couple have been engaged since October 2015, when Marc got down on one knee to celebrate their one-year anniversary – but now wedding plans are thought to be on hold while they concentrate on Natalie’s pregnancy.…

They made a rare public appearance together at the Grammys last week, just days after being snapped on a family trip to Disneyland with their three-year-old son, Angelo. And pals say that after a rocky patch, Adele and her boyfriend Simon Konecki are back on track and happier than ever. In 2014, rumours emerged that the pair had split, with Adele spending time at her London home while entrepreneur Simon, 40, stayed with friends in Brighton. But sources say the pair have worked through their issues. A source says: “Six months ago, Adele and Simon still weren’t getting on. She was gearing up to release her new album and the weight of everyone’s expectations was stressing her out. It was a huge relief when her album was a hit around…

EMMA : You recently came out of the CBB house. How was your time in there? DANNIELLA: I loved the experience – I wanted the public to see what I’m really like and I got a really good response on social media. Before I went into the house, I thought I could deal with anything – my whole life has been chaos. But it’s completely different in the house, nothing can prepare you for it. To be able to do the show, you must be in a happier place now. How do you feel? The past two years have been awful but I’ve softened now and let my guard down because I’ve met George [Danniella, 42, has been dating George Arnold, 24, for four months]. Since I met him I’ve…

THE KEYS TO SUCCESS Remember those infuriating teachers at school who used to say things like “there’s no such word as can’t?” Well, maybe they were right after all. How many of us would love to play a musical instrument really well, for example, but never even bother trying because we assume we “can’t?” Meet 15-year-old Alexei Romanov. Abandoned by his parents after he was born with a birth defect that robbed him of his fingers and toes, he was brought up in a Russian orphanage. But, after he was adopted aged 12, he was encouraged by his new family and friends to follow his heart and his love of music. No one could have expected the incredible result. He says: “I always liked classical music. For a long time,…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Bella Hadid vs Penélope Cruz This tiered, sheer Balmain dress is tricky to wear, but both brunettes pulled it off. We love how model Bella and actress Penélope kept the accessories to a minimum and let the dress speak for itself. VERDICT Both ladies look fab, but we have to give the nod to Penélope. Her peep-toe shoes and flowing locks add a classier edge. STYLE CRUSH! SILVER FOX Gemma Chan, 33 Lucky Jack Whitehall, eh? His stunning girlfriend, Humans actress Gemma, sparkled on the red carpet in this head-turning full-length sequin gown. And her dress wasn’t the only thing to shine – just look at her impossibly glossy cascading waves and flawless make-up. TOP OF THE CROPS Taylor Swift, 26 This must be the singer’s…

TRADE SECRET… Don’t buy something new, instead create your own cream blusher to pull off the fashionable flushed cheeks that are so now. Mix your favourite blusher with a little foundation – cheeky, huh? Simply dot and blend over cheek apples. ON TRIAL This week we tried liquid eyeliners from £2.79 to £22. Here are our top three… 1 BRILLIANT VALUE Expectations weren’t high – it did cost the same as a takeaway coffee! But to our surprise, this wasn’t watery and the felt nib was long, thin and bendy, so we had full control over creating the perfect line we wanted. 2 ALL NIGHT LONG The jet-black ink meant we didn’t need to go over our application and risk messing it up. It was totally budge-proof, too – ideal…

We reveal the 26-year-old model and reality TV star’s body-confidence tricks… THE MOVES The Irish star once revealed she refused to “slim down” after she was encouraged to by LA execs and says she’s determined to stay true to her Italian heritage and keep her curves. The model admits she works out to keep her energy up, not to lose weight, and goes to the gym up to five times a week. She says: “I do cardio, boxing, circuits with lunges, squats and burpees.” THE FOODS Size 10 Nadia eats a healthy diet. For breakfast, she’ll have porridge with seeds and a green tea. For lunch, it’s chicken with sweet potato fries or brown rice, and dinner is fish with green veg. She snacks on celery and houmous, but thinks…

First up and most importantly, be nice to your children, play with them, listen to them and accept that they are imperfect, but remember to celebrate their uniqueness. When it comes to discipline, do your best to be consistent, and follow these very clear boundaries to get the best out of your kids. MY RULES • NEVER HIT YOUR CHILD A wealth of research clearly demonstrates that physically hurting your child does far more harm than good. Imagine how you would feel if you messed up at work and your boss clouted you. The only thing a slap creates is fear, and fear has no place in family life. • NO NAUGHTY STEP Children often misbehave or react in negative ways because PANIC, ALL IS NOT they feel ignored or…

“I find it hard to support myself earning just £120 a week as a full-time apprentice. It’s barely more than when I was on Jobseeker’s Allowance, receiving £115.80 fortnightly, as I now have to pay more to live. Back then I was only paying £1.33 a week in rent (the rest was covered by housing benefit), but now my rent is £40 per week. I also have to pay £56 per month in council tax. “I occasionally model, which brings in £110 for four hours’ work, but I’ve only had a few jobs in the past year. “My apprenticeship ends soon and I’ll have to see if I’m given a job. My salary will increase by £2 an hour if I do, making my weekly income £200. My biggest problem…

Last year you braved the South American jungle, this year it’s scorching South Africa… We wanted a dramatically different location, but somewhere tough. Here there’s spectacular, but frightening, wildlife. What sort of wildlife? Leopards, a crazy amount of snakes, and a lot of sharks. Is it harder than last year? Yes. We’d planned it to be significantly harder. Last time I did a lot for them early on. This time they were thrown in the deep end. What food could they eat? We gave them basic military rations but restricted them a lot. How dangerous is it? We always have good safety in place, but there are genuine dangers out there. You only get things wrong in the wild once… Bear Grylls: Mission Survive starts Thu 3 March, 9pm, ITV…

After months of speculation that the end of their marriage was imminent, reports surfaced last week that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’s husband Jean-Bernard was desperately trying to win her back – and still wants children with her. The claims come a fortnight after Cheryl, 32, appeared to be turning a corner, having been snapped looking happier and healthier as she partied in Barbados for former Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh’s wedding. Then, last week, Closer reported the X Factor star has three potential suitors vying for her attention. But now insiders say the star is in the middle of more emotional turmoil, with mixed feelings over whether to meet with JB to try to salvage their future. FEELING TORN A source says: “JB’s messaged Cheryl to say he can’t believe how crazy…

They’ve been friends for years and she even made a surprise appearance modelling in Kanye’s Yeezy show earlier this month. Now Naomi Campbell has been helping Kim Kardashian as a wave of bad publicity engulfs the couple. Kim, 35, reached out to Naomi, 45, last week and the pair met for dinner in New York. A source says: “Naomi is one of Kanye’s few remaining celeb friends and he’s always been open with her.” The sources adds: “Naomi has a reputation as being icy and unapproachable, but she’s so big-hearted that Kim sees her as someone she can turn to for support at a difficult time. She thinks Kim and Kanye are a great couple and wants them to go the distance.”…

She looked amazing as she paraded her body in a bikini while on holiday in Brazil last week, and just five months after having her daughter, Honey, Fearne Cotton admits she doesn’t care what people think. Last month Fearne, 34 – who also has son Rex, three, with musician husband Jesse Wood – said: “Obviously having two kids, I’ve been all shapes and sizes, but I think people just expect you’re going to gradually get fuller over time.” Since becoming a mum, the TV presenter admits she has a newfound respect for her body and refuses to worry about her hang-ups. Last year she said: “Since I had Rex I’m like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe my body did that.’ I’ve got boobs and a bum... I don’t care if I’m…

It’s only two months since the last series of X Factor finished, but speculation around the 13th series is already heating up. Last week, Nick Grimshaw announced he wouldn’t be returning as a judge – and reports surfaced that presenter Caroline Flack had been axed from the show. Show insiders tell Closer that X Factor chief, Simon Cowell, has warned more dramatic changes are on their way – and only Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is safe. A source says: “Simon warned the team it’s going to be a bloodbath, but nobody could have foreseen him being this ruthless – he normally doesn’t even decide who he wants involved until April. Simon is only talking to Cheryl, he’s promised her a new deal and is asking her opinion on who else should go.…

Former Big Brother star Nikki Grahame’s battle with anorexia began when she was eight. Size 6-8 Nikki, 33, has now recovered and has a healthy BMI of 19.1. She says: “It’s vital that we are able to openly speak about eating disorders from a young age and try to understand what sufferers are going through to be able to effectively treat them. “There’s a common misconception that eating disorders are about wanting to be skinny, but this isn’t the case. There are many triggers and, for me, it was my parents’ divorce. Food was the only thing I had control of and it took over my life. I ended up being tube-fed and my weight dropped to 5 1/2st. Thankfully I’ve recovered but it’s left me…

They’ve faced more drama in their three-year relationship than most couples do in a lifetime and pals say Jacqueline Jossa has told her fiancé Dan Osborne that she wants to put wedding plans on hold to enjoy some drama-free family time together. The former TOWIE star, 24 – who’s dad to their 12-month-old daughter Ella – popped the question to Jacqueline, 23, last summer following endless speculation over their relationship. Last April, Dan was sacked from TOWIE after an expletive-laden recording of him threatening his ex Megan Tomlin, 23 – with whom he has two-year-old son Teddy – was made public. In October, Dan was forced to deny claims he’d invited two girls back to his hotel following an appearance in a club. A source says: “Jacqueline’s told Dan she…

‘Mums can enjoy sex at any age!’ I read in the papers about 26-year-old mums not wanting to have sex with their partners any more because they are so exhausted with the children. I can definitely understand how these young mums feel. It’s really difficult because you’re so tired all the time. You’re up all night and the baby takes priority in your life – your husband can take second place. Sex can be the last thing on your mind, and some people have a low libido. I still enjoyed sex as a young mum. I had my first child, Jamie, at 18 and by the time I was 27 I also had Leah and Tyrone. With three children I didn’t have sex as often as before, but with both…

He’s found global fame and made millions playing outrageous comic characters, including wannabe gangster Ali G, Kazakh journalist Borat and fashionista Brüno – but when Closer catches up with Sacha Baron Cohen it’s clear he’s no shrinking violet in real life, either. Asking 6ft 3 Sacha – who gives off a relaxed aura – to strike a funny pose backstage at the EE BAFTAs, he smiles cheekily: “Funny pose? Do you want me to get my k**b out?” So is he more like Ali G than we think?! “Yes!” says 44-year-old Sacha, who lives in LA with his wife, Aussie actress Isla Fisher, and their three children Olive, eight, Elula, five, and 11-month old Montgomery. He then adds more seriously: “I’m just joking! I’m nothing like any of my alter…

IN THE NEWS SPRING STRIPES OK, we admit that stripes never actually went away from the fashion spotlight, but the new jumbo lines and rainbow shades have given them a fresh spin for spring. The catwalks were covered in bold stripes and the high street has followed suit with linear prints covering everything from shirts and dresses to jumpsuits. If you are going to invest in one print for the new season, be daring and strike out in stripes. CATWALK TO SIDEWALK Embroidered blooms are springing up left right and centre and Rooney Mara’s Giambattista Valli dress is one of the prettiest we’ve seen. Get her look for less with this fabulous floaty frock for just £30. JUST LANDED A LABOUR OF LOVE The name Love Story sums up this…

It’s been 11 years since Suzanne Shaw last had a newborn in the house, and naturally she is besotted with her new arrival. After finding love with businessman Sam Greenfield, the singer and actress has settled down and the couple welcomed their son Rafferty in October last year. And Suzanne, 34 – who’s also mum to Corey, 11 – is beaming with happiness as she plays with her youngest son on Closer’s shoot. “Sam and I are so happy and having a baby together has been the best time of our lives,” she smiles. “We are so content. Corey is thriving, he’s a really happy child and we’re over the moon with our little family.” RELAXED APPROACH Suzanne’s happiness goes hand-in-hand with a laid-back approach to her post-baby body.

What are you scared of? Tins. I get scared about slicing myself. I’d love SARAH: “DON a magnetic tin opener! What’s your worst habit? Being really loud. Ever had a near-death experience? Every day – I’m so accident-prone! I rolled off the end of a treadmill the other day. If you were an animal, what would you be? A fish, so I could go and dive all day long. Where’s your happy place? I love being at home, but I also love a good spa day. What’s your earliest memory? Singing Whitney Houston in my mum’s car aged eight. Describe yourself in three words… Loud, chatty and tanned. • Lauren is performing on The X Factor Live 2016 tour. Visit Itv.com/xfactor/tour…

MY POCKET MONEY WAS… Just 30p a week. I’d spend it on sweets and crisps. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Working at my local convenience store when I was 16. I got £3 an hour. I SPENT MY FIRST PAY CHEQUE ON… I have a tradition of treating myself to a new pair of shoes! MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS… A pink coat from House of Holland. It was £630, but I got it in the sale for £180. THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN IS… My luxury harbourside apartment in Dublin. I’d always wanted to buy my own place before I turned 30, so I was delighted. SPENDER OR SAVER? My parents taught me to save at a young age, but I don’t deny myself. Clothes are my weakness! •…

She’s currently enjoying a romantic break in the Dominican Republic, and pals of Lauren Goodger say she’s hopeful that boyfriend Jake McLean will use the trip to make a marriage proposal. The on/off pair first started dating in 2012, with Lauren recently admitting it was Jake who spurred her on to shape up after years of failed diets, by telling her she’d gained weight. She eventually lost 4st and dropped four dress sizes, revealing her new size 8-10 body – and releasing her fitness DVD Lauren’s OMG Workout! – in December. And pals now say her newfound confidence has made a big difference in her famously fiery relationship with Jake. A source says: “Lauren’s feeling like a completely different person these days. This is her first holiday since the weight…

Her famous family are rarely out of the spotlight and earlier this month were impeccably dressed on the front row of her New York Fashion Week show. But insiders tell Closer Victoria Beckham is now enlisting the help of close friend and US Vogue editor Anna Wintour on how best to handle her talented kids’ careers. Victoria – who has sons Brooklyn, 16, Romeo, 13, Cruz, 11, and daughter Harper, four, with husband David – has grown close to Anna, with the British-born editor a permanent fixture at Victoria’s fashion shows. The family often socialise with Anna, 66, and her film producer daughter Bee, 28, and Victoria has told pals she loves the close relationship Anna and Bee share. A source says: “Victoria thinks Bee is a great role model…

She recently received a string of pointed comments on Instagram asking her if she was expecting her first child, but Jodie Marsh tells Closer she was devastated by last week’s speculation, as she’s actually facing a fertility battle to have a longed-for baby. Fans took to Jodie’s Instagram after seeing the snap of her with husband James Placido, asking: “[Is] She preg?”, while another jumped the gun, saying: “Congrats Jodes and James” with a baby emoticon. HURTFUL COMMENTS Now, in an exclusive chat with Closer, Jodie, 37 – who married 29-year-old personal trainer James in a secret Barbados ceremony last August – tells us: “I found the comments online really hurtful.” Last November, the former glamour model, 37, fronted the TLC documentary Jodie Marsh Is Making Babies, where it was…

• Communication is essential to help with recovery, so even if your child is reluctant to open up, keep trying. • Learn as much as possible about eating disorders to understand what you’re dealing with. • Don’t blame or judge. Concentrate on their feelings, stay calm and be prepared for a negative response. • Emphasise that no matter what, you love them. • Avoid talking about appearance, even as a compliment. Build their confidence in other ways, praising them for being thoughtful or for their achievements. • Avoid talking about other people’s diets or weight problems. • Don’t feel hurt if they don’t open up, and don’t resent them for being secretive. It’s not a reflection on their relationship with you. • Ask what you can do to help. For…

Last week, radio DJ Sara Cox, 41 (below), admitted on a TV documentary that she didn’t see the point of interacting with friends on Facebook. The mum-of-three, who has thousands of followers on Twitter and Instagram, said: “I’m not on Facebook. Friendship should be face-to-face, laughter, contact and fun. I’m happy with the friends I’ve got and have no reason to collect anyone online.” With more than one billion people on Facebook worldwide, Sara appears to be in the minority, but has she got the right idea? Psychotherapist Simon Jacobs – who treats people for addiction to social media – reveals that excessive use is detrimental if people rely on it more than interaction in real life and can be destructive. He says: “The hit you get from that is…

She says: “My blood ran cold when I heard about missing junior doctor Rose Polge. I know how she may have felt. Two years ago I spent the most hellish six months of my life working at a small, understaffed hospital in northern England. RUN RAGGED “No one becomes a doctor for an easy life, but nothing could have prepared me for the daily despair and desperation. “I worked 12 days or nights in a row, with shifts lasting between 10 and 13 hours.

There was never time to take a break and I was…

TOM:‘I’m happy for Leo!’ I bumped into A-lister Tom Cruise backstage after he presented his pal Leonardo DiCaprio with the Best Actor award. Sexy Tom purred: “I’m happy for Leo – it was well deserved!” Then the single hunk said with a wink: “See you at the after-party?!” Yes, please! JOHN BOYEGA: ‘Star Wars is tough!’ Star Wars actor John Boyega admitted that despite celebrating his Rising Star Award, he needed to be up at 6am to film Star Wars: Episode VIII.

How does it feel to be a Loose Woman? It feels amazing; it’s a brilliant opportunity. Though being the youngest, I do feel overwhelmed. Sometimes my opinion is the polar opposite to the rest of the ladies and it can be hard to identify with them. Kids, marriages, divorces? I haven’t even got a boyfriend! But I think it works and I’m enjoying myself. Are you enjoying the live TV element? Live TV is daunting, to say the least! I have to concentrate quite hard on not swearing or talking over anyone else. Then you sort of forget about it and the time flies – it’s like I’m having a chat with me mates, or I’ve come in from work and I’m having a glass of wine with me mam…

Around one in eight people in the UK admit to having a very low sex drive, but that doesn’t mean it should be shrugged off or treated as normal. Often, a dented sex drive is linked to emotions, stress or big life events, but it can be a sign of an underlying health problem or depression. We’re all good at saying we’re fine, but your doctor can help. RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS Feeling dissatisfied with your partner is a common cause of a low libido. It might not be unhappiness, but overfamiliarity. If you’ve been together for years, you probably aren’t ripping each other’s clothes off any more. Life events like being pregnant or having a baby can also have an impact. Your sex drive may dip thanks to hormonal changes, it…

I’ll miss my phone most as it’s usually glued to my hand.” “I’ve been to Glastonbury twice – does that count? I think the difficulty will be keeping my pecker up, especially when we’re not eating and we’re exhausted.” “I’ve never wanted to do this sort of show, but I love Bear!

I’m always dancing and singing so I may help raise spirits, but I’m frightened of heights.” “I did once do a…
