She’s previously revealed she suffered from body dysmorphia after turning to cosmetic procedures in 2013. And Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson now says it’s easy to become addicted to fillers – and says she worries for vulnerable teenage girls, who see cosmetic procedures as normal now. Marnie, 26, says, “I was 21 when I first got fillers and I got them because everyone else was getting them. I had fillers put in my lips and cheeks. I had different types of filler put in my face and went to lots of different practitioners. Before I knew it, I looked completely different. But I thought I looked great and it became addictive. “My lips were huge and my cheeks looked ridiculous. Some of the filler migrated to different parts of my…

She sat on the X Factor judging panel for five years, alongside the likes of Simon Cowell, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh – all of whom she reportedly feuded with. And despite reports that it’s not all been plain sailing, Cheryl, 35, insists that working with her new team of mentors – including Matthew Morrison and Oti Mabuse – is less competitive than The X Factor . She explains, “There was definitely more of a competitive nature among us as judges on The X Factor , probably because Simon was sat there stirring the pot! But it did feel more competitive, because at the end someone’s act was winning a record contract, and you were responsible for their career. It just feels different.” “I feel like from the very start…

JORDAN: ‘SHE WON’T HAVE A BABY WITH KRIS’ Jordan, real name Katie Price, has endured a tumultuous 2018, including splitting from third husband Kieran Hayler, being charged with drink-driving, dealing with her mum’s devastating terminal illness and enduring a spell in rehab for post-traumatic stress disorder. Sally – who’s previously done readings for the 40-year-old mum of five – predicts, “I think 2019 will be just as challenging for Katie. She believes she’s through the worst of it, but I don’t think she is. She’s still in a turbulent state and she’s erratic and incredibly needy with men. I don’t see a baby or marriage with her on/off boyfriend Kris Boyson.” MARK AND MICHELLE: ‘JUNE WILL BE MAKE OR BREAK TIME’ Actress Michelle Keegan has spent much of her three-and-a-half-year…

‘I’LL HAVE A DIGITAL DETOX’ Danielle Lloyd, 34, says, “My resolution is to continue ignoring online trolls. I’ve noticed such a positive change in my mindset since taking a bit of a break from social media – I’m going to try to keep it up.” ‘WE’RE MOVING IN TOGETHER!’ “I’m planning on moving in with my boyfriend, Josh Ritchie,” says Charlotte Crosby, 28. “So one of my New Year’s resolutions is to do up our house and make it all homely.” ‘I WANT MORE ‘ME’ TIME’ Alison Hammond, 43, says, “Mine is to live more in the moment and have more ‘me time.’ I’m also doing some theatre next year, so I’m going to throw myself into that.” ‘I’LL BE THE BEST DAD’ Matthew Morrison, 40 says, “I’m going to…

Sara Davison says, “It takes a long time to commit to a marriage, so it should take careful consideration to leave. We live in a highly disposable culture where, if we don’t like something, we change it. And in many cases, when it comes to our relationships, we don’t even try to make it work. But relationships can be saved, and if you have children there will be even more to consider as you will have to think through the impact on them, too. Consider couples’ counselling and follow these tips for three months to help you make a more informed decision that won’t leave you with regrets.” • Create a time to sit down with your partner where you won’t be disturbed. • Start by writing down what you…

As a former glamour model, Casey Batchelor had always been slim – so after relaxing her diet while pregnant with daughter Florence, she was shocked to be told by a health professional that her BMI was in the obese category after giving birth. But since overhauling her eating habits and turning to fast-paced yoga, Casey is thrilled to reveal her new figure in time for the New Year after dropping a whopping five dress sizes in six months! “I am the slimmest and fittest I’ve ever been,” she smiles. “I feel amazing and so healthy and toned, and my confidence is back too. I finally feel sexy again!” Casey, who shares Florence with her 32-year-old boyfriend, businessman Dane Goodson, admits she piled on the pounds while pregnant. She’d often eat…

SARAH LOST 1ST 3LBS: ‘I’ve got more energy now’ Sarah Cryer, 34, an audiologist from West Yorkshire, has gained bags of energy since ditching “quick-fix” diets. The mum-of-three says, “When I was pregnant with my first son Harry, now seven, I entered pre-term labour at 26 weeks and was put on bed rest. The weight piled on, as all I did was sit and eat. I started dabbling with The Healthy Mummy, but it was only after the birth of our daughter Annabelle, now three, that I started following it properly and I lost weight steadily over nine months. It’s one of the easiest plans I’ve followed. You’re not cutting out food groups, and I was able to customise it to fit the family. I batch-cook and fill the freezer…

MORNING 7.30AM: My children decide what time my day starts, so I’ll wake up whenever they do. I feed Mia [six months] and make scrambled eggs for Ella [three], then I’ll have a protein shake. 8AM: I’m not great at planning, so I just grab and go when it comes to getting dressed. Because I do the school run with Ella, I need to look presentable but also feel comfortable, so I’ll wear something simple like a T-shirt and jeans or a wrap dress with trainers. I like Topshop and H&M, and online shopping, too. 9.30AM: Although I miss the EastEnders cast, I’m enjoying having time off. Most of my day is spent catching up with family and friends. It’s hard work, but I keep the kids occupied by making…

Around a year ago, I started following a vegan diet. I didn’t eat red meat anyway, and I’m intolerant to dairy, so I’ve been having almond and coconut milk for the past five years. How did it go? I lost 5lbs, and my body feels a lot tighter. I don’t feel lethargic any more, my energy levels have soared, and my sugar cravings have disappeared. Where do you shop?

ALL ABOUT YOU OVERCOME THE JANUARY BLUES The start of the year and the end of Christmas fun can bring a lull in positivity – here’s Emma’s advice on how to stay cheery Every January I’m told about weight that wasn’t lost, relationships that never improved and dreams that weren’t realised. Couple that with the return to work, gloomy weather and a depleted bank account, and people inevitably feel down. Turn your low mood into motivation for change. First, explore the genuine reasons behind your unhappiness. What is at the root of your low mood? Once you know, you can begin to pinpoint what you can do. Often, people feel they have failed at something, but that isn’t thanks to a lack of drive – it is simply that you…

PLAN MEALS BEFORE YOUR FOOD SHOP Owner of comparison site Quotegoat.com, Michael Foote, says, “It can be tempting to buy meals from the local convenience store after work each day, or to do a big shop without thinking about what you’ll be actually cooking. A carefully planned weekly shop can make significant savings and reduce food waste. When I tried it in my house, we spent £45 on our weekly shop, compared to the £100 we were spending on shop-bought lunches and dinner from the local shop.” SAVE UP TO £220 A MONTH STOP SPENDING WITHOUT THINKING Heidi Allan, head of employee wellbeing at Neyber – which aims to improve financial happiness in the workplace – says, “It’s too easy to tap your phone or debit card and let the…

his is series two – and this time it’s live… EAMONN, 59: They’ve “done the right thing” and brought it back – live, and with Esther Rantzen involved in it as well. We’re all ready to go guns blazing… RUTH, 58: We’re excited. Live television is what we do, and I think it adds an extra bit of spice. One of the major things about being live is that you can work with the audience. People can react to the show as it’s happening. EAMONN: And there’s an edginess to it as people know anything can happen. What’s the series about for anyone who hasn’t seen it? EAMONN: It’s got echoes of That’s Life [Esther Rantzen’s long-running consumer show, which ended in the ’90s]. It’s a celebration of community heroes,…

She’s kicked off the new year with a fresh legal battle after crashing her signature pink Range Rover following a five-day bender in October. Now pals say Jordan – who faces drink-driving charges in court in early January – has vowed to change her life, after making a promise to her terminally ill mum, Amy. Insiders reveal Jordan, 40 – real name Katie Price – is hellbent on a new start and is even considering a return to rehab after a turbulent 12 months, which included narrowly avoiding bankruptcy, a bitter split from third husband Kieran Hayler and a shocking cocaine admission following a spate of wild partying. ❛HER HAPPIEST TIME WAS BEING MARRIED TO HIM – SHE WANTS TO REPLICATE A TINY PART OF THAT❜ DISTRESSED A source says,…

She suffered a difficult end to the year when her long-awaited comeback single, Love Made Me Do It, failed to ignite the charts. Cheryl was also repeatedly slammed for her “cringy” performances –including a bizarre hand lick – but she’d been pinning fresh hope on her new judging role on talent show The Greatest Dancer, which starts this week. However, ahead of the show’s debut, Cheryl, 35, was forced to deny claims of a spat with her co-judge Oti Mabuse, after a source claimed they’d fallen out over Cheryl’s “air of superiority” and being a “bit of a diva”. The allegations followed Closer’s report that she was also nervous about a historic feud with the show’s presenter, Alesha Dixon. FEELING NERVOUS And pals say Cheryl has suffered some last-minute nerves…

She’s arguably one of the hardest-working women in showbiz, presenting Big Brother until its series finale in November 2018 as well as hosting The Voice – which returns to our screens on 6 January. And Emma Willis admits that despite her polished appearance, finding a balance between her manic work schedule and family life with musician husband Matt Willis, 35, and their children, Isabella, nine, Ace, seven, and Trixie, two, can be exhausting. SHEDDING A TEAR “I get really knackered, look at me!” laughs Emma, 42. “Every day I feel tired. I film The Voice in Manchester and I think to myself it’s like a holiday because I’m out of the house for a week and I’ll get a good night’s sleep, but I never sleep well in a hotel.…

• B12 is important for physical and mental development – but it’s almost exclusively found in animal products. The Vegan Society recommends children under five take a B12 supplement. • Iron from plants isn’t well absorbed, but vitamin C increases iron absorption – vegans should eat iron-rich foods such as lentils, kale and tofu, combined with sources of vitamin C, including broccoli and cabbage. • Iodine is important for brain development in children, but it mostly comes from dairy and fish. It is found in seaweed, but the amount varies. It’s therefore recommended that vegans take a supplement. • Calcium is vital for growing bones. Organic plant milks aren’t fortified, and nut milks are lower in energy and protein. Fortified soya milk is often recommended for vegan children – although…

Harley Street hypnotherapist and addiction expert Adam Cox says a month off booze helps people take control. He explains, “Even a short break from alcohol does the body good – it’s a depressant and when people quit, they often notice improved mood, energy levels and quality of sleep. Time away from alcohol can also give a better perspective on any emotional issues and help with money worries. “Many of us get into a habit of drinking daily, but Dry January helps people take control of their drinking and realise they can live and socialise quite happily without alcohol. It empowers you to make long-term change. “For some, there’s a chance that stopping alcohol for a month can increase their desire to drink afterwards. However, I’d advise anyone doing Dry January…

‘Sometimes I use Sunday as a weight when I’m training!’ She’s undergone an impressive body transformation since the birth of her daughter, Sunday, a year ago. And Ferne McCann admits that despite the emotional roller coaster of the past 12 months – which saw her raising Sunday alone after her ex, Arthur Collins, was jailed for 20 years – she’s feeling happier than ever. The former TOWIE star puts her image overhaul down to high-intensity workouts and a healthy diet, and says she’s releasing her fitness DVD, Fit As Ferne, to inspire others. She says, “I’ve always been into my health and fitness, but in the last year I’ve really embraced it. Without doubt, I’m in the best shape of my life and I feel amazing.” NO MORE CELLULITE And…

There’s no one better to motivate couch potatoes into action this January than super-fit Davina McCall. Turning up to our interview in black skinny jeans, a fitted sweater and chic ankle boots, the 51 year-old mum-of-three looks as healthy and toned as a woman half her age. “I’m feeling really good at the moment,” she smiles. “I’ve got a busy work year ahead, but I’m ready for it, and exercise is one of the things that will help to keep me focused.” The Long Lost Family presenter has just released her 15th fitness DVD, Davina: Power Box And Tone, and says she aims to work out three to four times a week, doing a mixture of strength and cardio. And the star, who split from the father of her three…

BREAKFAST: I start the day at 5am with hot water and lemon, three scrambled eggs, half an avocado and spinach or kale. I’ll make a vegetable juice as well, using cucumber, celery, beetroot and ginger. MID MORNING: Around 9am, I’ll have porridge oats with whey protein, chia seeds and almond milk. LUNCH: A chicken burger with veg and pesto, or a chicken stir-fry, which I’ll batch-cook. DINNER: In the evening, I’ll have white meat or fish with sweet potato wedges or rice, or turkey chilli served with nachos and homemade guacamole. SNACK: I snack on apple with almond butter, bananas or rice cakes.…

Copy her look for less, with these top high street buys… WHO WORE IT BEST? EMMA ROBERTS VS EVA LONGORIA VS IMOGEN THOMAS It was a three-way fashion race when actresses Emma and Eva and model Imogen all stepped out wearing this Victoria Beckham printed tee (£115). Going smart, Eva gave hers a workwear vibe with a matching tailored co-ord, while Imogen added the glam factor with an embellished jacket and skirt. Opting for a totally different spin, Emma went uber casual with slouchy jeans and printed loafers. VERDICT: We admire how all three stars…

Reports recently said that a rise in Google searches for health topics showed we’re a nation of hypochondriacs. That’s a total misuse of the word hypochondria, which is a serious psychiatric diagnosis. Also, the types of ailments people are Googling, like IBS and back pain, the NHS doesn’t deal with very well. People probably don’t feel like battling to get an appointment if they can help themselves at home. TELL YOUR DOCTOR I always ask patients if they’ve Googled their symptoms. They look sheepish, but I tell them it’s not a bad thing. I want to know whether they think they’ve worked out what’s wrong, because it can be hard to describe your own symptoms. Google can scare people – they come to the GP having had a week-long headache…

Pay attention, singles, Sunday 6 January is “dating day” – the time all apps and sites see a phenomenal spike in activity, 69 per cent to be precise, with 1.5m messages exchanged between singles. Data from dating apps, agencies and websites across the UK agree that the first Sunday of the year is the best chance to find love online. No pressure then. Before you get too excited, the odds may be in your favour, but that doesn’t mean you’ll find a lasting love. Remember, not everyone out there will be looking for a relationship or at least ready for one. We are in break-up season, after all. Ironically, just a day after what I like to call Singles Sunday comes Divorce Monday (where lawyers see a surge in couples…

£9.99 For Shawn Mendes’ album on iTunes. I heard it in my friend’s car and instantly liked all the songs. £90 On a pair of black Nike trainers from JD Sports. I teach Zumba, so I have lots of pairs. £78 For a flight to Spain for after the final of Dancing On Ice. I go every year with my loved ones. £75 On Paco Rabanne aftershave. It’s one of my favourite scents. £54.99 For a NutriBullet. I’m always on the run and don’t often have the chance to cook nutritious meals, so it’s good to get in extra veg with a juice.

• Top surgeon warns celebrities risk losing their eyesight as a result of fillers • Women can become addicted and use far too much • Fillers are unregulated, meaning they can be administered by anyone and even ordered online With an estimated 1.5million women now having fillers pumped into their faces, it’s believed to be the fastest-growing cosmetic trend in the UK. And the rise is partly down to the number of famous faces openly getting the treatment – yet experts warn that celebs are irresponsibly fuelling a dangerous craze, which could even lead to blindness. The likes of Geordie Shore stars Charlotte Crosby, 28, Abbie Holborn, 20, and Chloe Ferry, 23 – who was criticised by cosmetic experts for attempting to inject herself with fillers during a Snapchat video…

He found fame in global TV phenomenon Glee before branching into Hollywood films, and now Matthew Morrison is back on the small screen as a judge on hotly anticipated new talent show The Greatest Dancer alongside Cheryl and professional dancer Oti Mabuse. But despite all his success, Matthew’s biggest role yet is becoming a father – to one-year-old son Revel with actress wife Renee Puente. He says, “I’m having so much fun being a dad. There’s been a lot of changes – the biggest probably being my relationship. I think a lot of couples can get lost in their children and their relationship suffers, so Renee and I always make sure we put our relationship first. It’s so easy to get lost in parenthood, you’ve never known you can feel…

She’s been cruelly mocked since being revealed as a contestant in the latest series of Dancing On Ice – but Gemma Collins says she can’t wait to show her doubters how good she is. Following the announcement of this year’s line-up, critics lashed out at Gemma, with one posting online, “Dumbo on ice!”, while another wrote, “God help the poor bloke who has to pick her up.” Another posted, “She’ll quit after a couple of days because she’s bone idle.” But the reality star – who infamously quit I’m A Celeb! after just 72 hours in the Aussie jungle – is adamant she can make it. ON A MISSION She says, “There have been tears and tough moments, but I’m loving it. I’m so at one with the ice. Anyone…

Closer’s Dr Christian Jessen warns that a vegan diet may not be the best for your child. He says, “Parents need to do a considerable amount of research as it’s so easy to get a vegan diet wrong. It’s not simply a case of feeding kids the same meals that adults might eat – they have different energy requirements and need more of certain vitamins. Without a diet correctly balanced with fats and proteins, children will experience growth and developmental issues. We’re actually seeing a resurgence of rickets in children due to vitamin D deficiencies, a vitamin found in oily fish and red meat. Veganism is also an incredibly restrictive diet, which could cause eating disorders later in life. It’s also worth noting that children’s taste buds are different, and…

Sara says, “If there really is no going back for your relationship, there is light at the end of the tunnel – divorce can be a positive thing as it gives you a chance to redesign your life the way you want it to be. And divorce doesn’t need to be an aggressive severing, if you take action to think how to best support everyone before you make the decision. If you have children and are feeling guilty, then consider what message you are teaching them by staying in an unhappy marriage. Remember you are their role model and they will take their lead from you.” SARA’S TIPS ON HANDLING A SPLIT • Being kind and respectful will serve you well in the long run, especially if you have children…

• Pack healthy on-the-go snacks in your bag, like dried mango, nuts, a water bottle and herbal tea. No bananas though – they get squished! • Look online for healthy Chinese or Indian recipes. It’s so easy and much healthier than real takeaway – you can control exactly what’s going in your food. • If you are starting a new fitness or diet regime, let those closest to you know you are doing it so they can be supportive. • The start will always be the toughest. Even if you begin with just a 15-minute workout, the feeling you will get afterwards will keep you motivated to carry on.…

Gemma says, “When it comes to getting results, what you put into your body is key. Remember, protein is essential for muscle mass, carbs are great for energy, and healthy fats help us feel fuller for longer. Every single one of these dishes is hearty, filling, and big on flavour. The best bit is that they’re quick and easy to create – I can make the roast fish in just under 25 minutes!” CHICKEN LAKSA BOWL SERVES 4 • 1tbsp vegetable or groundnut oil • A bunch of spring onions, trimmed and sliced • 250g mushrooms, sliced • 3 garlic cloves, crushed • 2tsp peeled and finely diced fresh root ginger • 1 red chilli, thinly sliced • 1 stalk lemongrass, peeled, and tender part, diced • 1 litre chicken…

I’M PROUD OF… taking many chances in life, even though they scared me. Someone recommended a book called Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway and it taught me not to be afraid of trying new things. I REGRET… not letting my hair down enough. There have been opportunities to go out when I’ve said “No, I’ve got a big thing on tomorrow”, which is very responsible of me, but I do wish I’d just gone with the flow. THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I’VE BEEN GIVEN IS… to always be the best version of yourself, and not to worry about what others are doing. You will always be enough. It’s something that’s served me well during many auditions over the years. I WORRY ABOUT… how short life is. I…

What’s in store this series? We all sat down at the end of filming and agreed this is the best series yet. It just gets stronger, and with Tom’s introduction [Tom Brittney – taking over from James Norton] there’s a new energy on set. How are you feeling about James Norton leaving? When we shot the goodbye scene, it was tough, no acting required. There wasn’t a dry eye on set. I just knew that I was saying goodbye to the joy we shared together. To the laughter, the friendship and the love. We’re two kindred spirits; me and James… You played a part in “the new James” coming on board? I met all the “wannabe Will Davenports”. With Tom, the camera picked up this lovely, charming quality. And he’s…

MUST READ If We’re Not Married by 30 (ANNA BELL) Lydia never imagined she’d get to 30 newly single and with a job that’s going nowhere. So, she jumps at the chance of a free holiday to sunny Spain, where she bumps into her childhood friend, the handsome and charming Danny. The pair embark on a holiday romance as they recall a pact they made years before – that if they were still single when they turned 30, they would get married. Could Lydia’s back-up man really be her happy ever after? A funny, feel-good read.

Becks lands the lead role in a budget reworking of The Hobbit – sadly, the costume department couldn’t afford a huge pair of hairy feet. We all know dogs look like their owners, but Chrissy’s pooch is a dead-ringer for her money box. Spooky. GABBY ALLEN... And when you get as old as us, Gabby, the hangover lasts until June. FRANCIS BOULLE... MIC’s Francis is such a clever clogs. He’s finally worked out why dogs are man’s best friend – and it’s all down to us coming home with carrier bags full of jerky sticks!
