An unconditional love This week, Closer carried out an exclusive survey that shockingly revealed thirty per cent of women have been physically abused by their own child. On page 18 we’ve spoken to mothers who’ve lived in fear, sometimes for years, because they’re too terrified of the consequences for their child if they speak up. One woman told us how her son was 12 when he began physically attacking her. Finally, when he was 15, she snapped and changed the way she related to him. Her revelation changed everything and shows just how remarkable a mother’s unconditional love can be……

The show’s always been known for its bombshells, but last week Strictly Come Dancing hit the headlines again after singer Will Young sensationally quit following an on-screen row with judge Len Goodman just days beforehand. Reports surfaced that Strictly bosses thought Will, 37, who answered back to Len when he said his Bollywood dance with Karen Clifton didn’t have enough salsa in it, had quit the show as he realised he couldn’t win. Meanwhile, there were further claims that clashes with Karen during rehearsals were a factor. His fee for the show was then allegedly slashed from £25k to £5k due to his early exit. Now friends reveal the star – who has suffered mental health problems in the past – left the show to focus on his wellbeing. A…

In a small room in Enfield, north London, eight women drink coffee and eat biscuits. They’re a crucial support to each other – all have been through, or are still enduring, abuse by their child. The group is run once a week by the charity PAARS, for parents who suffer abuse from their children. Their stories are harrowing. One mother, Jane,* is called 29 times by her son in three hours, he shouts down the phone demanding money. Jane, whose sons aged 15 and 17 regularly abuse her, explains: “They weren’t easy toddlers, but now they’re big they frighten me. I’ve had cracked ribs from when they’ve pushed me. One of them is addicted to computer games and if we ever lose our wi-fi connection he goes mad. My husband…

She was overjoyed to reveal she was pregnant last week, showing off her baby bump at an awards ceremony hours after she broke the news. And sources say Geri Horner – who married Formula One boss Christian Horner last year – is overhauling her fitness plan to ensure she prepares for the new baby. An insider reveals: “Geri is thrilled about being pregnant. She’s easing up on her usually strict fitness regime and making sure she gets plenty of rest.” Meanwhile, Geri – who also has daughter Bluebell, 10, with a previous partner – appeared to quash rumours she had conceived via IVF by posting to Instagram: “God bless Mother Nature #mamaspice.” But insiders say Geri’s announcement has caused tension with her bandmates Emma Bunton, 40, and Mel B. The…

A terrifying new craze has made headlines as hoaxers dressed as demonic clowns, some wielding weapons, have terrorised people on UK streets. While most cases appear to be non-violent – leading many to brand it as harmless fun – some victims have been left traumatised and, tragically, in the US, where the ‘killer clown’ craze originated, a 16-year-old student was stabbed to death by a man in a clown costume. We speak to one victim about her experience and reveal a clown prankster’s view of the craze... PRANK VICTIM: ‘People could die if this craze isn’t stamped out’ Shaniece Price, 22, from Bloxwich, West Midlands, was the victim of a clown attack earlier this month and says she’s still reeling from the incident. She tells Closer : “It was 3pm…

…CELEBRITY FAN PRINCE WILLIAM: “I had a tough upbringing, so meeting Prince William was special. He told me he listens to my music when he runs and then asked about my kids. I was stunned. I went home and said to Karl and Lillie: ‘Guess what? Prince William knows who you are, how mad is that?’” …HER SHORT-LIVED RELATIONSHIP WITH ZAYN MALIK: “I was with him for three months and people put so much focus on it because we were in the public eye. I was 24 then and I’d had two kids and other relationships, so I’d had a lot of life experience. He’s a footnote in my life.” …GETTING BODY CONFIDENT: “When I look back, I think I should have just enjoyed my babies and not worried about…

He’s been causing a stir on the dance floor with his unique facial expressions and impressive dance moves – and now Judge Robert Rinder tells Closer he thinks his best friend, actor Benedict Cumberbatch, will be enjoying his energetic performances. Benedict, 40, took an online course to officiate at Robert’s 2013 wedding to Seth Cummings in Ibiza. In return, the TV judge, 38, was one of the Sherlock star’s three best men when he married Sophie Hunter in February 2015. STRICTLY CRUSH Barrister Robert, who went to Manchester University with the A-lister, laughs: “Benedict’s not been down to the show yet but I hope he’ll make it at some point. I’m sure he’s proud!” And despite facing a barrage of criticism from Strictly panellist Craig Revel Horwood, Robert – who…

She’s no stranger to surgery and aesthetic procedures having undergone two boob jobs, plus lip fillers and Botox in the past. But now former TOWIEstar Amy Childs – who was just 18 when she had her first breast enlargement – admits going under the knife is her biggest regret and has vowed to turn her back on her surgery “addiction.” Amy, 26 tells Closer: “I was far too young when I started having surgery. If I could talk to my 18-year-old self today, I’d 100 per cent tell her never to go under the knife. I look at myself and how I am at 26 and I feel like a different person. I’m not planning on getting anything else done and I don’t think I ever will because surgery has…

“When my doctor told me my blood pressure was very high, I realised I wasn’t looking after myself. I read that performers have the fastest heart rates because of all the anxiety and nerves. Now I wear a blood pressure monitor to keep an eye on it and am eating better – it’s given me much-needed peace of mind.” • Boots Pharmaceuticals Advanced Blood Pressure Monitor with Breakthrough Atrial Fibrillation Alert (£129.99)…

Recently I came across a new term: “manterrupting.” Researchers found that women, both inside and outside work, are more likely to be interrupted than men. It’s so commonplace that women in the White House are fighting back – when a woman makes a really good point, another woman will repeat it and give credit to her, making the idea harder to ignore, steal or miss. It’s called amplification – and it works. Sadly, women in 2016 are still struggling to be heard so hone your communication skills to make sure you don’t fall victim to this unacceptable behaviour. SPEAK UP, BE ASSERTIVE • UP THE VOLUME Human beings listen to the loudest voice, which is why pushy people get heard. If someone interrupts you, carry on talking. Raise your volume…

Contestants have to think fast in order to defeat their opponents in Rebound . How do you think you’d do? I think I’d do well if I had the right subjects. I did a geography degree and I guess I’d be quite good at sport, but I wouldn’t do so well in questions about fashion... What’s it like being quiz master? It’s brilliant. It’s great to be in charge and we’ve had some wonderful contestants on this second series. There have been some magical TV moments as well where something doesn’t go quite how you expected... You must be great at pub quizzes? Ha, yes you do tend to learn loads – and isn’t it true that your brain briefly records everything, but then discards most of…

She’s always celebrated her curves, but after being trolled for her “flat” bum earlier this year, following her 4st weight loss, Lauren Goodger looked proud of her shapely new behind last week. Lauren, 30 – who showed off her bum in a tight leather pencil skirt while filming new scenes for TOWIE – has recently flaunted her assets in a string of social media snaps, and last week revealed she was weightlifting and using an exercise stepper machine to get a fuller bottom. She also boasted about having laser treatment to firm up her bum and thighs. But sources close to the reality star reveal that, as well as a strict daily exercise regime, Lauren has resorted to a costly Brazilian bum lift, where fat is removed from one part…

SAM (49) & AARON TAYLORJOHNSON (26) Actor Aaron was 18 when he started dating director Sam. But after eight years – and two daughters – they’re still going strong. MARIAH CAREY (46) & NICK CANNON (36). The diva and Nick wed in 2008 and had twins Roc and Roe. But split in 2014 amid rumours Nick had cheated – which he denied. GUY RITCHIE (48) & MADONNA (58) They married in 2000 and have two children – Rocco, 16, and David, 11 – but the singer and film director divorced after eight years.…

Louise, 39, asked her son, Matt*, now 22, to leave home when he was 15. She says: “Matt became violent when he was about nine – I think it was because he’d witnessed an ex being violent. It started with shouting and swearing, then door-slamming and throwing things. I tried shouting back and walking away, but nothing helped. I was very frightened of him. But it was only when he tried to push me down the stairs that I asked him to live with his dad. I thought I might end up dead. I felt as though I’d failed, but it was for the best. He realised there’d be consequences to his actions and it defused the situation – the space meant we could rebuild our relationship. He never moved…

Her weight has fluctuated over the years but Natalie Cassidy is looking healthier than ever just two months after giving birth. The former EastEnders star appeared in perfect shape while out grocery shopping just six weeks after giving birth to daughter Joanie Elizabeth – her first child with cameraman fiancé Marc Humphreys – and sources say Natalie, 33, is loving her figure. An insider reveals: “Natalie feels great at the moment – she’s enjoying motherhood and spending time with her family. Her baby weight is dropping off and her workouts and healthy eating have really paid off.” The former Strictly contestant – who is also mum to Eliza, six, from a previous relationship – has battled weight issues over the years and released a fitness DVD in 2007 after dropping…

There was national outrage last month when Bake Off hosts Mel and Sue announced they were leaving the iconic show. Frances Quinn – who was Bake Off champ in 2013 – tells Closer she thinks it’ll be a huge blow to the series, adding: “It’s heartbreaking; the show won’t be the same without a Mel and Sue sandwich! And especially with Mary Berry saying this is her last year, too – all of the key ingredients are missing.” There have been numerous names thrown into the mix as possible replacements to front the show, from Jennifer Saunders to Nigella Lawson, but Frances – who now designs bespoke cakes for luxury brands – has branded the pair “irreplaceable.” • Candy Crush Cakes & Bakes (£9.99, available at Amazon, Waterstones, WH Smith,…

HELEN MIRREN, 71 The Queen actress says rest is her secret to staying youthful: “I try to sleep as much as possible. It’s important and, as you get older, even more so.” SUSAN SARANDON , 70 Hollywood star Susan takes a quirky approach to keeping the wrinkles at bay: “Sex – that’s good for your skin, right? Laugh and have sex.” JOANNA LUMLEY, 70 The actress swears that Astral cream (£4 from Boots) keeps her looking ab fab: “I’ve been using it for 40 years. It’s cheap as chips – adore!” DIANE KEATON, 70 After two skin cancer scares in her youth, Diane says her skin is kept youthful by sun cream: “You’ve just got to wear sunscreen, end of discussion.”…

She was left heartbroken after a traumatic breakup with 1D’s Zayn Malik, but it seems Perrie Edwards has found happiness again with actor Luke Pasqualino – and friends reveal to Closer the romance is heating up. SO LOVED-UP The couple were spotted giggling and smooching together at Perrie’s bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s 25th birthday bash in London last week and sources say the singer, 23, was even introducing Luke – who starred with Michelle Keegan in BBC drama Our Girl – as her “boyfriend. A pal says: “Perrie is loved-up and is throwing herself into her new romance. She’s smitten with Luke and is even planning a romantic weekend getaway – they want to go somewhere hot.” Perrie dated singer Zayn, 23, for four years after they met on The X…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Josie Gibson vs Danielle Lloyd We love a celebrity wearing high street – and two is even better! Fitness guru Josie and former glamour model Danielle both look lovely in this embroidered skirt from Topshop. While Josie keeps it cosy by pairing her mini with a pink jumper, tights and sensible suede ankle boots, the mum-of-three opts for the matching blazer, a simple white shirt and colour-pop strappy sandals. VERDICT While we love Josie’s laid-back style, the matchy-matchy look is big news for 2016 and Danielle really makes this two-piece pop. SHINE ON! Cher Lloyd, 23 Since moving to America two years ago, the former X Factor star has had a total style transformation – and her likeness to former mentor Cheryl is uncanny! She shows…

‘The best style advice I’ve ever been given… is not to feel pressure to follow the trends. It’s nice to have a nod towards what’s in season, but it’s more important to feel comfortable. I don’t follow any rules when it comes to choosing an outfit – it’s all about having confidence and feeling good. My style obsession is most definitely blazers… I have so many! They work for pretty much any occasion. A blazer can smarten up a jeans and shirt combo, but can feel fancy over a dress and heels, too. I prefer dressing for winter… I love layering when the weather starts to get chilly. Boots, scarves, a new coat: my winter wardrobe is my favourite. I found maternity dressing really tricky… mainly because most pregnancy pieces…

CELEB SECRET… Applying a good cream before any make-up can create the illusion of a good night’s kip. Actress Michelle Keegan is a huge fan of this Janjira eye cream, and says: “I keep it in my handbag and use it every morning before I go on set to fight any puffiness.” We love it, too – the soothing lotion absorbed quickly and concealed any shadows, while the metal applicator had a super-cooling effect. Blinking marvellous! ON TRIAL This week, we tried lum lip colours priced between £1.50 and £16. Here are our top three... COLOUR COATING This squeezy lip paint was a little sticky at first, but it settled with a velvety-smooth long-lasting finish that really packed a punch in the colour stakes. SHINE-FREE FAVOURITE This creamy lipstick had…

Where do you shop? I buy most things from my local deli and then nip to a supermarket if I run out. I spend £350 a week on food shopping. I like to cook knowing that what I’m eating has come from a good place. Describe your typical daily diet… I start the day with a spoonful of coconut oil and then have smoked salmon and scrambled egg for breakfast. Lunch is grilled chicken with roasted vegetables and a side salad, and dinner is seabass with pak choi and stir-fried vegetables. I carry Macadamia or cashew nuts in my car for when I’m feeling peckish, but if I m very stressed I might raid my Fridge of Sin for some chocolate. Is there anything you won’t eat? I hate kidneys,…

“I’ve moved into my boyfriend’s place; he pays the rent and most of the bills and I chip in when needed, but we’ll rent a place together next year and split costs 50/50. “I earn £23,000 a year as a marketing executive, but I get through my wage at an alarming rate. This month alone, I paid £1,000 (from my ISA) for a holiday to Italy and bought a pair of sunglasses for £130. I go out with friends at least twice a week, too, which adds up. “I spend about £70 a week on lunches and snacks. I usually get a salad from Aldi for about £5, and then spend £3-£5 on snacks, coffee and breakfast. I go to the gym five times a week and pay for weekly…

What’s your worst habit? Worrying, and then I start to worry about worrying. It’s a vicious cycle. When’s the last time you said “I love you”? Today, to my beautiful black Labrador, Bo. I tell him every day. What animal would you be? I’d probably be a Labrador so I could hang out with Bo. Who was your first kiss? A French exchange student, though I can’t remember his name. Where’s your happy place? At home in Cheshire by the fire with my loved ones. Describe yourself in three words… Funny, loyal and sensitive. What’s your proudest achievement? The beautiful friends I have in my life. • Our Girl series one and two DVD box set is out now.…

Celebrity Haunted Hotel Live sees different stars checking into a haunted hotel [but we won’t find out the location until the series airs…] This place is very well-known as being one of the most haunted places in Britain, but we’re not supposed to reveal anything – it’s part of the surprise. The celebs will be staying there and putting themselves up for various tasks – I couldn’t do it! I don’t think I’d be brave enough to even stay the night… Do you believe in ghosts? I grew up believing [in ghosts] and my mum and I could go on waxing lyrical about various tales over the years. This show is completely up my street. We’ll be analysing what happens live. There are no tricks and we’re not setting anything…

Following years of yo-yo dieting, Lauren had a £6,000 boob job in 2013, going from a 34D to a 34E, after complaining that her fluctuating figure had left her boobs “flopping down a bit.” Last year she lost 4st and debuted a new size 8 figure in January. Since then, Lauren revealed she’s gone up to a size 12. Earlier this year she spoke about her plans to have a breast reduction. She said: “Large boobs can make you look bigger than you are. I’d like to be a small D.” In 2011, Lauren had a £4,000 op to smooth out a bump on her nose, after admitting it had given her a “complex.” The selfie addict also denied having Botox when she was pictured with a puffy face…

Closer’s psychologist Emma Kenny believes Cheryl and Liam may struggle as new parents if they’re not both on the same page. Emma says: “Cheryl is at a different stage in her life. Her biological clock is ticking and she wants to focus on having a family. Since she’s happy with Liam, she sees it as a good time to have a child. However, her past shows that her impulsive decisions (like marrying JB after a whirlwind romance) don’t always go well. “Having a baby is the most wonderful thing in the world, but it shouldn’t be an impulsive decision. Liam and Cheryl haven’t been dating long and are still getting to know each other, but if a baby comes along, he or she will be the number-one focus. It brings…

While the rest of her family were seen celebrating the wrap party of season 12 of their reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians last week, Kim Kardashian – who was attacked in a shocking jewellery heist in Paris just two weeks ago – was noticeably absent. SHAKEN UP Now insiders say Kim is torn as to whether she’ll be able to take part in filming again. The star has kept an uncharacteristic low profile since her terrifying ordeal and even cancelled an upcoming appearance for her 36th birthday this week. During the robbery, Kim, who is mum to North, three, and 10-month-old Saint, was held at gunpoint and tied up as thieves stole £8.8m worth of jewellery. A source tells Closer: “Kim’s feeling understandably emotional at the moment. She’s…

CEO of Family Lives, Jeremy Todd, advises: • Make it clear that verbal abuse and violence are unacceptable. • Address issues as they arise – don’t let violent behaviour go unchecked. • If your child lashes out, leave the room. • Wait for them to calm down before you talk. • If you feel threatened or scared, call the police. • Suggest – and help them to book – counselling. • If they won’t accept they need counselling, you might still be able to arrange it through your GP or their school. • Avoid using violence yourself For more advice, visit www.familylives.org.uk  or call 0808 800 2222.…

Since leaving Coronation Street in 2014 there’s been no stopping Michelle Keegan. Her recent performance in Our Girl was widely praised by critics, and her impressive screen presence has earned her comparisons with Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron. CRACKING AMERICA Now insiders reveal Michelle, 29, is set to return to LA for meetings and to audition for key roles in a second bid to break the US. The actress went to the States last summer with her husband Mark Wright for a series of meetings, but neither of them managed to secure work. Mark, 29, later insisted he wouldn’t consider a permanent move there, saying: “England will always be home but to do a show abroad would be good.” However, as Michelle and her team plan her next move, pals say…

When Donna Galt’s daughter Danielle started worrying about her weight gain, Donna vowed to help her slim down fast. But, shockingly, rather than seeking a doctor’s advice, she cut her daughter’s daily calorie intake to 500-800 (the recommended daily amount for a 12-year-old is 1,600-2,200 calories). And Donna also ignored her husband’s fears that Danielle, now 13, may develop anorexia. MUCH HAPPIER Aspiring model Donna, 34, from Brighton, says: “I’m a size 6 and restrict myself to 800 calories a day, so I knew it’d work for Danielle.” And Donna – who is married to Patrick, 35, and has five other children aged three to 15, who are all healthy weights – adds: “Danielle was miserable, I wanted to help. My husband was worried she might develop anorexia but I…

The final is almost here! Have the contestants been more eager to please this year? SUE: The bar has been set so high over the last three series they know what the standard is. I feel for them. Which new ingredients have surprised you the most this series? MEL: Tequila. SUE: There has been a lot of elderflower and green teas this year. Bake Off standout moments? SUE: I really enjoyed telling Howard Middleton three series ago that he’d made “amazing peachy buns” – but that one of them was rubbish. He very delicately told me I’d put my elbow in it while I had been talking to him! MEL: I love seeing Mary really lose it (with laughter). That’s always a high point. Do you go on a cake…

With her powerhouse singing voice and down-to-earth persona, Rebecca Ferguson has been one of The X Factor’s biggest success stories. But while her music career has gone from strength to strength, Rebecca admits that the traumatic breakdown of her relationship with her daughter Arabella’s father has made her give up on love. PREGNANT AND ALONE Rebecca, 30, was left devastated when her ex – who she won’t name – ended their five-month relationship after she told him that she was pregnant with Arabella, who is now nearly two years old. Adding insult to injury, he then revealed he had another girlfriend. “It has broken my trust in men. I can't date,” says Rebecca, who is also mum to Lillie May, 12, and Karl, 10, from her relationship with Karl Dures,…

Chloe Green and Matt Goss sparked romance rumours when they left a party at London’s Claridge’s Hotel together last week – and sources close to the Topshop heiress reveal the pair have been on a string of dates. Insiders add that while Chloe, 23, is “smitten” with the Bros singer, 48, he has concerns over their age gap. A source says: “Chloe is attracted to men far older than her and, when Matt tried to cool things, Chloe insisted the 25-year age gap didn’t faze her.” This isn’t the first time the former Made In Chelsea star has been linked to an older man. In 2013, she had a year-long relationship with Jennifer Lopez’s ex-husband Marc Anthony, 48. Meanwhile Matt has previously dated high-profile women including model Sophie Anderton and…

THE MOVES Margot’s exercise habits are as varied as her acting roles. The actress, 26, who starred opposite Leo DiCaprio in Wolf Of Wall Street, says: “I like dance classes – it doesn’t feel like exercise to me. If I’m in LA, I see trainer Andie Hecker. She incorporates ballet techniques with a Pilates machine.” THE FOODS Margot is the first to admit she indulges in naughty foods, and struggles to deprive herself of treats. She confesses: “I don’t have a very good diet. I love beer, fries, burgers, but if I have to get in a bikini then I’ll eat carrot sticks for three days. I’m one extreme or the other. I get miserable if I don’t eat; I can’t have a salad every day and a half a…

Idon’t think there’s one simple reason as to why depression is rising – it’s a combination of things. Certainly people might be less afraid to ask for help and GPs are getting better at talking about mental health, but pressures in life are probably causing an increase too, including the rise of social media. Although no two cases are ever exactly the same, there are a number of factors to look out for – here’s my advice… KNOW THE SIGNS We all know the obvious symptoms: feeling flat and struggling to enjoy life – but depression can manifest itself as a physical tiredness or a decrease in libido. People often think a virus has zapped all their energy, or stopped them getting pleasure from things they once enjoyed when, really,…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… £1 a week; I mostly bought chocolate with it. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Stacking bales of hay when I was 12. I got paid half a penny per bale, so 200 earned me a pound! WITH MY FIRST PROPER PAY CHEQUE I BOUGHT… Dr. Marten boots. My mum wouldn’t buy them for me because she thought they looked thuggish! MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS… A jacket I couldn’t afford. I only bought it because the salesman looked at me and said: “The sale items are over there.” It was about £350. THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN IS… My Range Rover, which was £45,000 second-hand. MY BIGGEST FINANCIAL MISTAKE IS… Impulse buying. I used to buy cars I couldn’t afford and shoes I’d never wear because…
