When Claire Sweeney found love and gave birth to her son Jaxon in her 40s, it was proof that it can happen, even for those who might think they’ve left it too late. Sadly, her relationship was short-lived – she split with her fiancé when their son was nine months old. But when Closer meets Claire, she’s far from despondent. While she’s not given up on finding love, she admits she’d rather be single and happy, than in the wrong relationship. And as she points out, her grandma met the love of her life at 86. You can’t hurry love! LISA BURROW CLOSEREDITOR@CLOSERMAG.CO.UK…

‘Kelly hasn’t been happy with Danny’s behaviour’ He’s made his way through a catalogue of celebrities, including Lindsay Lohan, Jordan – aka Katie Price – and Kirsty Gallacher. Now rugby star Danny Cipriani appears to have lined up his next love interest, after being spotted cosying up to All Saints singer Nicole Appleton in London last week. REACHING OUT But insiders tell Closer how his ex-girlfriend, Kelly Brook, has lashed out at the 28-year-old Lothario, who she fears is still struggling with commitment issues since their split in 2013 – and could break recently divorced Nicole’s heart. An insider says: “Kelly hasn’t been happy with Danny’s behaviour since their split and has watched him break hearts after stamping all over hers. Despite their messy break-up, they’ve been in touch on…

Their year-long marriage has been dogged by rumours of infighting, tension and a possible split – but there are signs the tide may have turned after Mark Wright proudly announced his wife Michelle Keegan’s new TV role and praised her sandwich-making skills! He posted a photograph on his Instagram of a BLT sandwich that Michelle, 29, made last week, saying: “The missus don’t mess about when it comes to BLTs.” And when the news was announced that she has landed the role of footballer Bobby Moore’s glamorous wife Tina in a new ITV drama, he proudly Tweeted: “The cat is out the bag and I am over the moon. My wife is playing the wife to my all time hero Bobby Moore in a new drama for @ITV #buzzing.” UNDER…

Alison Davies, 26, from South Wales, voted Remain and says: “I was devastated when I heard the result, and it was made worse knowing that my parents had voted Leave. It’s created a division within the family and we haven’t spoken since, which is very unusual. I felt angry when I found out how they’d planned to vote and I was upset they didn’t speak to me about it, despite the fact it will affect my future. Before the vote, I was going to write them a list of reasons why we should stay, but I didn’t send it. I didn’t think it would change their minds, but I wish I had as now I can’t bring myself to speak to them. I feel let down, but I don’t blame…

Closer’s psychologist Emma Kenny says: Many voters will be going through feelings of shock, denial, disbelief, anger or regret so it’s not the time for heated debate or confrontation. Instead, try the following: • If you’re finding it hard to talk to friends or family, take some time to calm down until you’ve accepted the result and can begin to think of ways of moving forward. Speak to someone who shares your views as a way to vent your feelings without causing tension. • If you feel a sense of hopelessness or anxiety try not blame others and break the issues down into manageable pieces so that you aren’t overwhelmed. It’s important to be patient. • Take a break from social media. If you can’t avoid it, ban…

‘I don’t want excitement any more, I want stability’ The way Claire Sweeney beams at her 21-month-old-son Jaxon throughout our shoot, it’s clear that motherhood suits her. And although the former Brookside actress is now juggling being a single working mum, she’s also relishing her independence. The 45-year-old broke up with Daniel Reilly – who is 14 years her junior – nine months after Jaxon was born, and has been single ever since. But Claire is determined to wait for a man who makes her happy and focus on her son in the meantime. FINDING MR RIGHT She says: “I broke up with Daniel early last year and I decided not to date seriously for the first two years of Jaxon’s life. He will be two in September and I…

PAPA’S PAYBACK: THE SELFIE SHOWDOWN It’s often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Try telling that to 19-year-old Cassie Martin, whose dad Chris has been mercilessly taking the mickey out of her selfie obsession. Chris asked Cassie to “tone down” some of her posts. But when she ignored his request, he took the view that if you can't beat ’em, join ’em, saying: “My daughter has been posting sexy selfies and instead of telling her to stop, I thought of something better.” So Chris, who lives in Washington, US, showed off his, er, impressive curves in vests and crop tops and drew on tattoos using eyeliner, with hilarious results, leaving Cassie Tweeting: “My father harasses me on social media!” Just need to work on the pout a…

After the exciting news that the pair are expecting their first child together, it’s now emerged that Russell Brand and girlfriend Laura Gallacher are set to walk down the aisle too. Sources say that Russell, 41, popped the question to the 27-year-old restaurant manager and the pair celebrated with a party in Oxfordshire last weekend. Russell married singer Katy Perry in 2010 but they split acrimoniously in 2012. He and Laura, who is said to be five months pregnant, have been dating on and off for several years. Laura, 27, is the younger sister of TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher, who was quick to congratulate her sibling on the happy news. Posting an image to her Instagram page Kirsty wrote: “Congratulations to my gorgeous sister.”…

With a washboard stomach women half her 48 years would kill for, queen of celeb fitness Davina McCall claims her impressive six-pack isn’t down to her exercise regime, believing her super-toned stomach is simply due to genetics. The mum-of-three has made a series of top-selling workout DVDs and often shows off her body on social media. FITNESS JOURNEY “I’ve got abs, but I think that’s just genes. I do train, but I think you’ve either got a flat tummy or you haven’t. My legs aren’t that good, but I’m hoping everybody’s looking at the tummy, so they don’t see my legs,” she admits. And while Davina might be in fantastic shape, she isn’t a slave to the gym. She explains: “I try to work out three times a week, sometimes…

Her life was transformed when she won The X Factor in 2013, not only scooping a £1m recording contract with Simon Cowell’s label and launching her hugely popular singing career, but also cementing a solid friendship with her mentor on the show, Sharon Osbourne. And now, as notoriously feisty Sharon returns to the panel, former prison guard Sam Bailey has a few words of warning for fellow judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger, who have already begun filming auditions. Sam says: “I think there are going to be big clashes between Sharon and the judges! I’m so glad she’s back – there’ll be a lot of snide comments between her and Simon. And her and Louis are just like two naughty school kids when they’re together. “I’m not…

THE MOVES She enlisted personal trainer to the stars, Gunnar Peterson, to help her get in shape last year, and Khloe Kardashian’s 2 /2st weight-loss has been no easy feat. The reality star admits she started slow but now works out five times a week doing a mix of dead lifts, lunges, circuit training and boxing. She says: “It’s a lot, but I feel great when I do it. This is the best I’ve ever felt.” THE FOODS Khloe, 32, admits she used to have an unhealthy relationship with food. She says: “I was a mindless eater, eating for comfort.” Now the star keeps trim by reducing her carb and dairy intake. Breakfast is oatmeal and a black coffee, while lunch is a chicken salad with veg and dinner is…

We’ve all uttered the words “I’m famished” or “I’m starving”, but we rarely really are. We’ve lost touch with how we feel, so we eat for lots of reasons, from boredom to sadness, habit to thirst. Luckily you can unlearn these habits with some practice. “EMPTY” FOOD Eating lots of fat-free, low-calorie snacks will leave you hungry after 10 minutes because there’s nothing satisfying in them. Veg contains lots of fibre so it’s filling, but you have to eat a lot to get enough calories, so munching on endless carrot and celery sticks can leave you hungry, too. Protein and fibre are more filling, so a boiled egg or a handful of nuts would make you feel fuller for longer STRESS When we’re stressed we often turn to food, eating…

“I have a degree in drama and film, but I left university in 2004 with £20,000 of student loan debt and failed to get a job in that field. I spent years working in promotions, retail and call centres, then two years ago I took out a £1,000 loan and used it to re-train as a beauty therapist and masseur. I’m now qualified and have set up a business at home, where I live with my partner Matthew, 46. I top up my earnings with promotional work in shops and supermarkets, bringing home £800 to 1,000 a month. “I don’t have many clients and I want to rent a shop so I can focus on my beauty work, but I have so much debt I don’t know how I can…

Sixteen years ago my dad had a breakdown brought on by the death of his mother and work stress. He was sectioned under the Mental Health Act after attempting to take his own life. Sadly, suicide is the biggest killer in men under 50. One reason for this is that men rarely ask for support or talk about their feelings. We need to encourage them to, and to notice when they’re struggling. Thankfully, I still have my dad, but too many women are living without their fathers, brothers, husbands and sons. HOW TO SUPPORT THEM • DON’T IGNORE IT If you think he’s struggling, he probably is. It’s scary asking someone about their mental health, but feeling loved and supported gives us permission to acknowledge when we’re not OK. •…

So, Kylie dies – it can’t be true! Exactly how Kylie dies is being kept top secret. But it’s one of the most shocking deaths in the history of Coronation Street without a doubt, and very different to anything that’s ever been done on the soap before. What happens in the run-up to it? Gail decides she doesn’t want to live in the annexe of their house any more because Callum’s body was found there, so it falls on Kylie and David to take that room. Kylie doesn’t think it feels right, so she has this great idea: ship her, David and the kids off to Barbados to start a new life together. Her death literally comes out of nowhere; it’s a case of: “Oh! That’s what a sudden death…

After a week from hell that included facing online abuse and seeing her six-year-old son Kai splashed across media headlines, Coleen Rooney and husband Wayne escaped France for a family holiday in Ibiza. And while the mum-of-three seemed carefree as she soaked up the sun on a yacht, pals say she’s been reeling from the abuse the family has been facing. England captain husband Wayne was hit by a barrage of insults for his poor performance in the Euros exit and an image showing their son Kai upset was used on newspaper front pages. ONLINE BACKLASH Coleen, 30, was even targeted by online trolls who branded Wayne a “let-down” and said she should be “ashamed” of her husband. The mum-of-three Tweeted: “Everyone’s entitled to their opinions but am gutted just…

She seems absolutely smitten with boyfriend Liam Payne and celebrated her 33rd birthday with him at a low-key dinner last week. But while Cheryl appears to have her life back on track after splitting from husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, 35, in December, insiders reveal the divorce talks are very tense. Pals close to Cheryl say while the singer is keen to move on, the businessman has been asking for a face-to-face meeting before he agrees to a settlement. REFUSING TO SPEAK A source close to the star says: “Cheryl is desperate to focus on her future with Liam but JB wants to speak to her directly about the divorce settlement. She’s refusing to talk to him other than through lawyers, but he says it’s important they meet up before they come…

The Apprentice winner Michelle Dewberry, 36, has no regrets about voting to leave and says: “If the government had listened to the UK in the first place, the referendum would never have happened. The average person is fed up with the way the country’s being run, so the government promised a referendum to stay in power – and now we find ourselves in this situation. The problem is that the EU question is too complicated for the general public to understand fully. I wanted the decision to be made by economic, legal and EU experts – not us. However, I researched the question and I’m comfortable with my vote to leave – but it doesn’t mean I feel gleeful at the result. And I’ve fallen out with friends…

“Tom appears disenchanted to be walking along the beach with his supposed lover and mum. Taylor’s hand tucked inside the crook of his elbow is ‘maiden aunt’ style rather than the knitted finger clasp typical between new lovers. Tom looks lost in thought and disconnected with Taylor.” “They’re clearly keen to be seen as an item dressed in their matching outfits, but there’s no other connection here. Tom has both hands shoved in his pockets and walks one pace ahead of Taylor. She’s looking directly into the the lens of the camera with no surprise or irritation at being papped. Was she the one to tip off the photographers?” “Here you can conceivably imagine them together. They fit physically: both tall and lean with simple styling. And there’s a real…

He celebrated his very first Father’s Day by posting a picture of his son Freddie Reign holding his hand in a touching Instagram post. Now it’s been claimed that Louis Tomlinson is planning to head to court with ex Briana Jungwirth to fight for joint custody of their five-month-old son. Insiders say that the relationship between Louis and Briana, both 24, has become strained in recent months, as the One Direction singer has grown closer to girlfriend Danielle Campbell, 21. Louis started dating actress Danielle late last year and the pair have been inseparable ever since. A source says: “Louis wants to spend as much time with Freddie as he can but his relationship with Danielle has caused arguments with Briana. “Briana has made it clear that she doesn’t want…

She was seen enjoying a romantic break with her boyfriend Count Nikolai von Bismarck in Venice last week and later returned to London for the Absolutely Fabulous premiere – but insiders reveal the real reason for Kate Moss’ holiday was to escape seeing her ex Jamie Hince, who landed back in the UK Jamie has returned to London after finishing a European and US tour with his band The Kills – and pals say Kate jetted off with her 29-year-old lover to avoid dealing with the reality of divorcing her husband of four years. A source says: “Kate knew Jamie wanted to see her as soon as he got back so she fled to Venice. Now she’s back she knows she can’t avoid seeing him but she’s still putting it…

Ultimate pop diva Mariah Carey made sure all eyes were on her as she partied up a storm in a very skimpy outfit in Las Vegas last week. The 46-year-old singer wore just a leather jacket, a corset and a racy pair of suspenders as she arrived at the 1 Oak nightclub, before reportedly flirting with DJ Suss One after a few drinks. ATTENTION-SEEKING But while she appeared to be having fun, insiders say that Mariah’s antics have been causing a rift between her and billionaire fiancé James Packer. Insiders reveal that James, 48 – who has three children, Indigo, seven, Jackson, six, and Emmanuelle, three, with his second wife Erica – has become increasingly frustrated with Mariah’s attention-seeking behaviour and say it’s putting a strain on their relationship.

He might be a successful TV and radio presenter, but Nicky Campbell reveals he was nervous meeting his Long Lost Family co-host Davina McCall for the very first time. He says: “I was very scared. It was like I was going to meet Audrey Hepburn. Davina is one of the most famous, glamorous TV personalities in Britain. What was great was finding out within 30 seconds that she’s just like she is on the screen – just as nice and a fantastic human being.” And Nicky, 55, says his co-star bonds with the people the team help on the show. He says: “Davina’s best quality is that she completely empathises with people. Their lives take over hers. Her worst fault is the same thing – sometimes you’ve got to have…

TRICKS OF THE TRADE The “tap tap” method really works! Rather than smearing product under eyes to blend, use your middle finger to gently tap in the product until your cover-up has a smooth and even finish. Start below the eye and tap around the inner corner, and follow on to the lids. It’ll help prevent it from settling in fine lines, make it last longer and will prevent any streaks as it creates an airbrush effect. Try it out with your fave concealer – we love Skin Wow from SEVENTEEN. ON TRIAL This week we tried lip oils priced from £3.99-£22. Here are our top three... 1 FRUITY FIX This light oil smoothed on easily and felt like a silky smooth balm to wear. It made light work of…

Actress Vicki Michelle, 65, on her recent diagnosis “I had a blow to the head last year and felt dizzy and off-balance, and a constant buzzing in my ears affected my sleep. I was diagnosed with subjective tinnitus. Every few days I hear a high-pitched howling noise, which makes it hard to sleep. There’s no cure, so I just try to relax because tension can worsen the condition.” • For a free hearing test, visit Specsavers.co.uk/ hearing or get the Specsavers Hearing Check app…

"MY POCKET MONEY WAS… My parents paid for my dancing classes but my grandparents would give me £3 a week. I’d spend it on dolls and trolls at the newsagents. MY FIRST JOB WAS… At 24, teaching dance in Bologna, Italy. I earned £50 for a 45-minute class. I SPENT MY FIRST PAY CHEQUE ON… A dress from Karen Millen. It was £360 and I still have it. THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN IS… My grandma’s engagement ring. I’ve worn it for every single performance on Strictly. MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS… I recently went to buy a bikini and spent £1,000 on clothes and make-up. ARE YOU A SPENDER OR A SAVER? Definitely a spender. I’m dangerous when in Oxford Street.” • Joanne stars in Norma Jean The…

What’s your biggest fear? Snakes. As a child I stupidly volunteered to hold one at my school assembly and I couldn’t stop screaming. What’s your earliest memory? My neighbour Will and I emptying our cereal boxes on to the kitchen floor when I was three. We used to get into so much trouble. Have you ever had a near-death experience? I was in Thailand during the 2004 tsunami. It hit my hotel but, thankfully, I was OK. I had a lucky escape. If you were an animal, what would you be and why? A dog, because they’re loyal, fun and loving. Describe yourself in three words… Spontaneous, lighthearted, self-deprecating. • Ali is an ambassador of Wood Green Animals Charity.

Closer’s psychologist Emma Kenny says: “Danny Cipriani is muscular, tall and athletic so he embodies all of the alpha male traits. But why do women get involved with him when they know about his womanising past? Maybe he tells the same story to every woman, which is that they’re The One. If men treat us well, tell us the right things and explain their previous behaviour, we’ll believe it if we like them. Women like Kirsty and Nicole are more vulnerable as they’ve come out of long relationships and are usually looking for someone to make them feel better about themselves.”…

Receptionist Stephanie Yeboah, 27, from London, voted Remain and says: “I’m worried Brexit will give racists an excuse to assault and abuse people because they feel the result legitimises their views. I’m British – my grandparents were from Ghana but I was born in London – and just hours after the result was announced I was on my way to work when a group of men started shouting: ‘Make Britain white!’ while gesturing at me. Thankfully, there were other people around – but it left me shaken up. When I got to work, one of my colleagues, who’s from Italy, broke down and said she didn’t feel welcome any more. Given that London is so multicultural I hadn’t expected this to happen; it’s made me worry about my future. Sadly,…

Former dancer and TV personality Louie Spence, 47, says: “She’s young and rich, and he’s probably going to be the next James Bond, so they don’t need publicity stunts. I think they’ve just fallen madly in love. “Taylor and Tom are probably happy to have these cheesy pictures taken so that they’re then left in peace. “People think it’s a set-up as she moved on from her ex Calvin Harris so quickly, but she’s beautiful and will have a queue of blokes at her door. She’s definitely traded up – it’s like shopping at Aldi and then stepping out with Marks & Spencer.” • Louie Spence: Taxi Driver is available on Sky on demand…

After cancelling a UK gig last month when he admitted suffering the “worst anxiety” of his career, pals fear that Zayn Malik may need professional help. Insiders say Gigi Hadid, 21 – his girlfriend of the past seven months – is helping the former One Direction star, 23, through this difficult time. A source reveals: “Zayn’s been keeping a low profile since cancelling his on-stage performance and his friends fear he’s become more reclusive since then. His inner circle and Gigi have encouraged him to seek professional help and think he may need rehab to truly conquer his fears. “He’s the most caring guy with Gigi, but when his head’s in the wrong place, he becomes like a different person. She says she wants to have a ‘normal’ relationship again.”…

Horrific scenes unfolded at the M&D theme park in Motherwell, Glasgow, last week, after the Tsunami roller coaster derailed at a bend and collided with the main structure, before plunging 30ft on to a children’s ride. Ten people were injured and taken to hospital, where two boys remained in a serious condition as Closer went to press. The Tsunami ride has a history of problems; in July 2011 passengers were stranded for more than eight hours after a mechanical failure, and in March this year eight people had to be rescued after it ground to a halt 20ft up. The accident comes a year after Vicky Balch, 21, and Leah Washington, 18, both lost a leg in a crash on The Smiler ride at Alton Towers, where a carriage ploughed…

He’s been struggling with Top Gear’s disappointing ratings but it seems that Friends star Matt LeBlanc now has a smile on his face thanks to his new girlfriend, the BBC show’s executive producer, Aurora Mulligan. Insiders tell Closer how the actor-turned-presenter, 48, is “smitten” with the 31-year-old brunette, after their working relationship blossomed into romance. A source says: “Matt and Aurora had an instant connection from the start and their electric chemistry had everyone on the show talking. “They’ve been trying to keep things quiet after dating for the past few weeks, but Matt is so loved-up he says he’s sick of hiding it and is ready to introduce Aurora as his official girlfriend.” Matt, who divorced his wife, model Melissa McKnight, in 2006 after three years of marriage, was…

Growing up, Rachel Windsor’s daughter Kiah was adamant she’d been born in the wrong body. She hated wearing dresses and wanted her hair cut short. Kiah became so unhappy that Rachel, 39, made the controversial decision to let her transition aged nine. She now lives as a boy called Kai and has been taking hormone blockers to stop puberty. DISTRESSED Rachel – who runs a health business and lives in Brighton with Kai, now 11 – explains: “Some people might say Kai was too young to transition, but his desire to live as a boy was so strong I didn’t feel there was any other option. “Kiah cut her hair short herself when she was five and hated wearing dresses. “Living life as a girl would have been horrific for…

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY HAIRY FEET – AND SOME BLING SAT 9 JULY, 7.45PM, ITV Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is perfectly happy to kick about with his fellow hobbits in the Shire, until Gandalf arrives and convinces him to join a group of fellow vertically-challenged folk on a perilous quest. Cue a pressing need for a fancy ring. TED A TALKING TEDDY BEAR SAT 9 JULY, 9.30PM, C4 As the result of a Christmas childhood wish, John Bennett’s (Mark Wahlberg) furry friend Ted (Seth MacFarlane) miraculously came to life and has been by his side ever since.
