What’s not to love? Turn to page 58 for our inspirational five-page special and enjoy your best summer ever!…

He’s the clean-cut face of family TV and one half of the UK’s most successful double acts, but Ant McPartlin shocked fans and loved ones when it was revealed last week that he’d checked into a £6,000-a-week rehab facility, after admitting to a secret battle with depression, alcohol and prescription drugs. Ant, 41, reportedly broke down when he told wife Lisa Armstrong, 40 – who he’s been with for over 23 years – and showbiz sidekick Declan Donnelly that he needed help. Both Lisa and Declan had reportedly been increasingly worried about his reliance on alcohol, but did not know the extent of his addictions. The star is now facing two months of intensive treatment, after it emerged his and Lisa’s failure to conceive had fuelled a slide into depression.…

‘ I CHOSE TO BELIEVE HIS LIES BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT TO THINK I WAS MARRIED TO AN ALCOHOLIC’ Someone who knows firsthand what Ant’s wife Lisa will be going through is Clare Kennedy, who’s married to former Coronation Street star Kevin Kennedy – better known as the loveable Curly Watts. Clare watched Kevin live with a secret alcohol addiction during the height of his TV fame, which saw him drink a small bottle of vodka in the morning before heading on set, then downing booze in his dressing room between filming. He also took cocaine and speed. Clare admits that her life was “chaos” at the height of his addictions, and the pair split shortly before she teamed up with Corrie bosses in 1998 to send him to rehab.…

‘ SHE’S TOLD MARK ABOUT HERINSECURITIES – AND HOW HE’S BEEN ACTING DIFFERENTLY’ After he landed his first big US presenting gig at the start of last month, insiders say there is growing tension between Mark Wright and wife Michelle Keegan as the power balance in their relationship has shifted. Earlier this month, Mark, 30, filmed hit US programme Extra, rubbing shoulders with Mariah Carey and Nicole Kidman. He’s also promoting the new series of Take Me Out: The Gossip and has been surrounded by bikini-clad women every week during his DJ gigs in Mallorca. And as Michelle, also 30, admits she’s missing her man as she films Our Girl in South Africa, insiders say Mark is finally regaining his confidence. A source says: “Mark watched Michelle take the starring…

‘ SHE SAYS GEORGE IS WORKING AWAY BUT SHE SEEMSDISTRACTED AND NOT HERSELF’ She posed for a cosy “at home” photoshoot surrounded by her children last week – her second this year without her husband of nearly three years George Kay. And now Kerry Katona’s pals fear she and George may have hit another stumbling block in their relationship. At the time Closerwent to press, the couple – who are usually inseparable – hadn’t been seen out together for nearly a month. Despite often sending each other gushing messages on social media, Kerry, 36, raised eyebrows when she failed to post anything about George on Father’s Day, just days after saying she was “having a little time off social media” to focus on herself. BARELY TOGETHER Last week, George uploaded…

MARIA: ‘I stay in shape by exercising with Kelvin’ She welcomed first child Evie only last September, but earlier this month Maria Fowler, 30, showed she’d worked off all the baby weight to regain her size 8 figure. The former TOWIE star admitted to exercising for up to 90 minutes a day with her BMX racer boyfriend Kelvin Batey, 36. She says: “Kelvin is in perfect shape and knows a lot about fitness so we exercise together... But the vain selfies aren’t me any more – I’m just getting fit for me.” IMOGEN: ‘My figure has changed – but it’s worth it’ Imogen Thomas, 34, found it hard to snap back after having her daughters, Ariana, four, and Sierra, one. The Big Brother star went up to a size 16…

Last week, Danniella Westbrook unveiled the results of the seven-hour facelift she had earlier this month in Poland. She admitted it left her in “so much pain,” but added that she “felt amazing” about her new look. Decades of drug and alcohol abuse have taken their toll on the former EastEnders star’s looks – her septum famously collapsed in the late ’90s as she battled an addition to cocaine. Top surgeon Dr Mark Ho-Asjoe says that despite her best efforts, Danniella, 43, will never be able to regain her looks or salvage her nose. Mark says: “As well as a full facelift and brow lift, it seems Danniella’s had a mid facelift too, which tightens and uplifts the cheeks to restore a smooth look to the lower eyelids. Danniella’s nose…

BEYONCÉ & JAY Z’S JOY: ‘We couldn’t be happier’ Following weeks of speculation, Beyoncé was reported to have given birth to twins last week after her dad Matthew Knowles let slip the celebrity siblings – a boy and a girl – had arrived. Now sources say Beyoncé, 35 – who also has daughter Blue Ivy, five, with rapper husband Jay Z, 47 – is smitten with the new arrivals, who were believed to have been born prematurely and treated for minor health issues in hospital. The insider says: “Beyoncé and Jay Z are completely in love. Obviously it’s scary having your newborn babies in hospital but they have access to the best medical care. They couldn’t be happier and their family feels complete. They’ve had their ups and downs as…

GARDENING AU NATUREL... “I love gardening at home in my bra. I admitted it in a previous interview and it caused quite a stir. Now I’m going to have people trying to peer over the garden wall with binoculars!” ENJOYING NAUGHTY THINGS... “I like to have vodka and Kettle crisps on a Friday night. And every morning after the school drop-off, I have a coffee and almond croissant at my local coffee shop. Life is too short to not enjoy yourself!” BAKING... “I’m the anti baker and can’t cook or bake anything, plus I always find other things that are more important than cooking. My daughter is a food stylist, so how the hell she came out of me, I’ll never know. She actually despairs of me in the kitchen…

‘Giving up doesn’t have to be torture’ She famously shed 6st in 2012, but it wasn’t until Josie Gibson attended a nutrition course that she realised she was addicted to sugar. “I have always chosen low-fat products but didn’t realise my actual problem was sugar,” she says. “I’d eat loads of chocolate but also things like white bread and wine – I didn’t even realise those things had sugar in them!” Josie, 32, went from 16st to 10st over a year, dropping to a size 8 thanks to a strict diet and exercise regime. She now says she realises how bad the sweet She reveals: “I was always going for naps, I had spots, dark circles under my eyes and my skin looked wrinkly. I’ve since realised sugar impacts your…

Recently, we were told that even those drinking within the guidelines were three times more likely to suffer from dementia than teetotallers. I’m not saying alcohol isn’t damaging, but these headlines are hugely misleading. When you look at the numbers in detail, you can see how they’ve been skewed to make a good scare story. This study, which tracked 550 people with brain imaging used to explore links between drinking and brain health, takes one thing in isolation – alcohol – but that’s not how life works. There’ll be plenty of other things increasing and limiting your dementia risk every day, from your diet to your family history. You can’t possibly separate all these things out. For example, around half of the people in the study who didn’t drink still…

Pippa Middleton is outrageous in this spoof comedy; what can we expect from her in series two? She’s still feisty! She puts a curse on Kate and still punches people. Your character is forever trying it on with Prince Harry; what’s their relationship like this time? It’s kind of like Ross and Rachel. Will they, won’t they…? Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle is joining the cast [or rather actress Kathryn Dysdale]… Pippa is none too pleased – but she manages to pin on a smile to get closer to Harry. Can you share any anecdotes from filming? In one of the houses the owner had a life-size waxwork of himself in the hallway. True story. Do you have any favourite scenes from this series? Fergs [Sarah Ferguson] misses Any so…

She’s been busy working out in the gym recently, but last week Lauren Goodger was slammed for her appearance as she donned a racy playsuit on a boozy night out in London. The former TOWIE star, who’s been dating jailbird Joey Morrison for over a year, was faced with a barrage of abuse. One online hater wrote: “One piece of advice: dress for the body you have, not the body you would like to have…”, labelling her “Mr Blobby’s wife.” Another wrote: “Her precious Joey is going to drop her like a hot potato once he gets out of prison and sees that she doesn’t look a thing like her Insta photos.” Now pals say size 12 Lauren, who dropped from a size 16 to an 8 and lost 4st…

Closer’s Dr Christian says: “If prescription pain medications are taken correctly, they are perfectly safe, even if you have to take them for the rest of your life – there are people who are in constant pain and are completely reliant on their painkillers. “But there are cases, like Ant, where people get hooked on them. Physically, their body will crave their effect, just like a smoker craves nicotine, but there’s also the psychological addiction – you’ll fear being in pain and feel you can’t function without them. It’s a double whammy. We know that opiate-based painkillers like Tramadol – which Ant was reportedly prescribed – and Codeine are more addictive, and some people have a genetic predisposition towards addictions. “It might be that someone is taking Tramadol…

After she revealed that she’s ready for her sixth child with husband Kieran, insiders say Jordan’s marriage is hanging on a knife’s edge as she’s admitted to pals she’s struggling with day-to-day life with him. In a clip from their new reality show Katie Price: My Crazy Life, Jordan – also known as Katie Price – is seen looking at a baby mobile and asking Kieran if they’re going to have another baby, to which the former stripper and her 10-year-old daughter Princess simultaneously reply: “Yes!” Now insiders say Jordan, 39, who’s also is mum to Harvey, 15, Junior, 11, Jett, three, and Bunny, two, wants to go ahead with another pregnancy, despite ongoing problems with third husband Kieran, 30, who was caught cheating with two of her best friends…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “Mark has always been the dominating figure in relationships, but that’s completely shifted with Michelle – she’s very much in control. She’s an extremely talented actress, her career is taking off, and Mark is clearly in awe of her. They’re both ambitious and keen to crack America, but there’s always a danger there could be a need for oneupmanship as he starts to have some success too. Resentment could set in between them if Mark tries to persuade Michelle to take a backseat to support him. If she did take her focus away from her career to support him, it would need to be her own decision. “Mark’s relied on his alpha male image for work and, as his career starts gathering momentum,…

THE ONLY WAY IS OUT Amy Childs splits from love-rat boyfriend Bradley Wright just six weeks after giving birth When reality TV star Amy Childs, 27, announced the birth of her daughter Polly on 30 May, she gushed that her partner Bradley Wright, 25, was a brilliant father. But the couple split just a few weeks later and Amy admitted the baby had put too much pressure on their relationship. She claimed she was doing all the work and Bradley was sleeping in a separate room. In an interview, she said of her ex: “I became more like a friend and his mum... I was doing the bottles, cleaning and doing his dinner.” The couple got together in 2013 but broke up two years later when Bradley was jailed for…

Parading her toned figure in the south of France where she joined her ex Chris Martin on a luxury yacht last week, Gwyneth Paltrow showed off the body she famously works so hard to maintain. And as fans noticed the “C” tattoo she had on her hip during her marriage to Chris, 40, had disappeared, insiders reveal how the actress, 44, got rid of the inking as part of her bid to save her fragile relationship with boyfriend Brad Falchuk. Gwyneth and Chris had a very amicable split after “consciously uncoupling” in 2014 following 10 years of marriage – and are often pictured together with their children, Apple, 13, and Moses, 11. Gwyneth – who’s been dating TV producer Brad, 46, for three years – even said last year that…

Last week, former Friends star Courteney Cox revealed she’d turned her back on cosmetic procedures and had all the fillers removed from her face. The 53-year-old star, who previously admitted to having Botox, fillers and laser treatment to maintain her youthful looks, said that she felt she no longer looked like herself and is now planning on embracing her changing face. She said: “I’ve had all my fillers dissolved and I feel better because I look like myself. “I was trying to make [my face] not drop, but that made me look fake. “You need movement in your face, especially if you have thin skin like I do. I’ve realised that fillers are not my friend.” Top surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe says: “This procedure would have meant having an injection with…

Last week Kim Kardashian was back dominating the headlines after reports surfaced she’d turned to a surrogate to have her third child. And now insiders say that despite the fragile state of her marriage, Kim is committed to adding to her brood – and is even preparing for life as a single mum. Earlier this year the reality TV queen, 36 – who has North, four, and 18-month-old Saint with rapper husband Kanye West, 40 – revealed: “I’m going to try to have one more baby. I want my kids to have siblings but the doctors don’t think it’s safe for me.” THIRD PREGNANCY Kim suffered from complications in previous pregnancies, including the possibly life-threatening condition placenta accreta , which causes the placenta to grow into the wall of the…

Her love life hit the headlines in 2009 when she fell for a married man, but LeAnn Rimes admits that although it’s been tough, she’s formed a bond with her new love that’s unbreakable. The star split from her husband of seven years, dancer Dean Sheremet, when she had an affair with actor Eddie Cibrian on the set of Northern Lights. He was subsequently dumped by his wife, Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville. LeAnn, who married Eddie in 2011, later admitted: “I hate that people got hurt, but I don’t regret the outcome.” Along with her new relationship, she also became stepmum to Eddie’s two children, Mason, 14, and Jake, 10, and says she couldn’t be happier. “I’m loving married life,” says LeAnn. “We’ve been married for…

‘I ASSUMED MY FRIENDS HAD MADE IT TOO. THREE MONTHS ON, I FOUND OUT THEY HADN'T’ On 10 December 2005, I boarded a flight home for Christmas, along with 60 other children. I was 16 and we were travelling home from our boarding school in East Nigeria. I couldn’t wait to see my mum. “Around 15 minutes before the flight was due to land, at Port Harcourt in East Nigeria, we started descending. “There was a lot of turbulence and people started screaming, but I was so shocked I froze. I grabbed my friend Toke’s hand from across the aisle so we could pray, but then there was a shrill sound, like metal screeching against metal. THE HORRIBLE TRUTH “I don’t remember the impact, but the plane crash-landed on…

She’s no stranger to a challenge, with several fitness DVDs under her belt as well as Sport Relief events and extreme treks, but tackling her sweet tooth may have been Davina McCall’s most life-changing task yet. The self-confessed former “sugar addict” openly admitted she’d wolf down five bags of Haribo sweets in between filming, insist on adding 3tsps of sugar in her tea and would even steal chocolate from her children – Davina is mum to Holly, 15, Tilly, 13, and Chester, 10 – to satisfy her cravings. She said: “I’d have huge slumps in energy, I gained weight and my clothes felt uncomfortable. Even my skin felt prickly. I hated it.” Over just five weeks, the star embarked on a mission to change her diet for good. She eliminated…

FAMILY MATTERS MANAGE YOUR RETURN TO WORK AFTER A BABY Leaving your baby with a carer and going back to your job can be challenging, but phase back gently and you’ll be fine Knowing that you’re going back to work after maternity leave can feel both exciting and daunting. When your leave ends, you can often feel a sense of grief and a drop in confidence. This is entirely normal, as you’re entering another new phase as a working mum and will need time to adapt. It’s easy to make the mistake of seeing your return to work as something in the far future, but it’s amazing how quickly time passes. Make sure you contact your workplace and ensure everything is ready for when you go back. Also, don’t be…

And seeing as how the couple MET on the set of the E4 reality show (albeit they have been a bit on and off for two years) no self-respecting camera crew could resist capturing all the action.

Pregnant Ferne McCann continued to put on a brave face last week, despite learning that her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins will stand trial just weeks ahead of her due date. The This Morning star kept her bump hidden as she headed to a work event hours after it was announced Arthur would appear in court on 9 October – around the time their baby is due. Arthur has been accused of five counts of causing GBH with intent and 11 counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm following an acid attack at a London nightclub in April. He has pleaded not guilty. Despite Ferne, 26, throwing herself back into work, friends are worried that the trial will cause her extra stress. A source says: “Ferne is trying her best to be…

MATTHEW PERRY The Friends star, 47, battled an addiction after a jet ski accident in 1997 and was taking up to 30 pills a day. He had two failed stints in rehab before getting clean, and is now an outspoken addiction recovery advocate. JAMIE LEE CURTIS Hollywood star Jamie Lee Curtis, 58, began taking painkillers after a cosmetic procedure, but quickly became addicted to them. She said: “The morphine becomes the warm bath from which to escape painful reality.” She’s been sober for 18 years. KELLY OSBOURNE TV star Kelly Osbourne, 32, began battling her addiction aged 16, when she was prescribed Vicodin during a routine op – and admitted to downing 50 a day at the height of her addiction.

Jordan looked nervous as she performed her new single live on Loose Women last week – and was slammed by viewers, who accused her of “screeching” and branded her a “flop.” But sources close to Jordan say that despite getting a mauling online, she’s adamant her much-hyped return to music is still on track. A source says: “Katie is the queen of putting on a confident front, but people’s negative comments have been a real blow. She knows she doesn’t have the best voice, so chose to make her debut on the panel show as that’s her comfort zone. She thought she’d have a supportive audience, so she’s gutted at the reaction.” Following the rendition of her new dance track I Got U, one viewer Tweeted: “She looks a state…

‘THEY HAVE MADE A VOW TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME TOGETHER AS POSSIBLE’ It’s one of the longest marriages in showbiz, spanning almost two decades and, despite enduring its fair share of controversy, David and Victoria Beckham’s relationship – and £500 million brand – is still going strong. After facing constant speculation over the state of their 18-year marriage, Posh, 43, made a bid to silence the rumour mill earlier this month as she offered a rare glimpse into the secret of their marital success . HECTIC LIVES Opening up to Vogue Netherlands, she said: “David and I have a lot of fun together. If I really was as miserable as I look in some of those pictures, my children wouldn’t be as happy as they are. And I wouldn’t…

She’s reportedly writing a tell-all book detailing shocking secrets about her marriage to Tom Cruise as her reported five-year deal to stay silent expires next month. And as Katie Holmes has allegedly been offered a whopping £9million for the exposé, Tom’s other ex-wife Nicole Kidman, 50, has reached out and begged the former Dawson’s Creek actress, 38, not to reveal too many private details that could also affect her. A source says: “As soon as Nicole heard Katie was planning to write a book, she panicked and got in touch to find out exactly what she was going to mention.” The Australian-born actress, who’s now married to Keith Urban, divorced Tom in 2001 after 11 years of marriage and adopting two children together, Isabella, 24, and Connor, 22. Katie, who…

‘I’LL NEVER FORGET THE SCREAMS – I WAS CONVINCED WE WERE ALL GOING TO DIE’ Last week, the UK was shaken by its third terror attack in less than a month, as a far-right extremist ploughed into a crowd of Muslim worshippers outside a mosque in Finsbury Park, London. The alleged perpetrator, Darren Osborne – a 47-year-old father of four from Cardiff – was heard shouting “kill all Muslims” and “this is for London Bridge” as he drove a rented van into a crowd at 1am on Monday – killing grandfather Makram Ali, 51, and leaving 10 injured. Last week, Osborne was charged with terrorism-related murder and attempted murder. Since March, 36 people have been killed in terror attacks on Westminster Bridge, Manchester Arena, London Bridge and Borough Market. But…

In the wake of speculation Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have hired a surrogate, Khloe Kardashian’s best friend Malika Haqq – who regularly appears on Keeping Up With The Kardashians – reveals her excitement for the next Kardashian offspring. Malika, 34, tells Closer: “I want [Kim and Kanye] to have a third baby as much as they want one! We’re all so excited for them. Challenges arise in so many different areas in life and the beauty in already being a parent and still wanting more children is pretty awesome. I don’t know if they want a boy or girl, but I’m pretty sure they’ll just be happy with a healthy baby.” The star – who fronted spin-off show Dash Dolls about the line of Kardashian fashion stores – also reveals…

LeAnn has sparked concern multiple times with her worryingly thin frame, and carried out a 30-day stint in rehab in 2012 for stress and anxiety, shortly after being pictured looking “emaciated” in her bikini. Once she left rehab, LeAnn admitted that looking back at old pictures of herself made her think: “Wow, maybe I was a little too thin.” Blaming her weight loss on the stress of her and Eddie’s previous marriages, she confessed: “That was just the way my body was handling everything that was happening. Some people stress-eat and I do the complete opposite and don’t eat at all.” But the star now swears by a structured workout regime to maintain her healthy size 8 figure, mixing up classes, and finally laying her body demons to rest. LeAnn…

hether it’s a mid-afternoon W chocolate fix or a tempting dessert, most of us find sugar hard to resist. But it is wreaking havoc with our health and is the number one reason our waistlines are expanding. While the World Health Organisation advises we only consume six teaspoons of added sugar a day (refined, not naturally occurring sugars in fruit), the average adult Brit eats twice the recommended amount, according to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey. French scientists have even proved it’s more addictive than cocaine. Yikes! Closer’s Dr Christian says: “Our sugar habit has led to a surge in obesity and a rise in type 2 diabetes. It’s linked to high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cancer, liver and heart disease. Too much sugar causes stress on the adrenal…
