She is almost universally reviled for her controversial – and often shocking – comments, but TV presenter and writer Katie Hopkins reveals a surprisingly softer, more vulnerable side in Closer’s exclusive interview this week (p40). The 42-year-old opens up about her 20-year battle with debilitating epilepsy, which shattered her confidence and left her living in daily fear. On the eve of life-threatening brain surgery to cure her condition, Katie created a guide for her three young children in the event she didn’t pull through. It’s a glimpse into the real Katie Hopkins – and it makes for an emotional read.…

‘She loves expressing her true self again’ Looking happier and healthier than she has in years, Angelina Jolie last week opened up about how determined she is to come back even stronger after her bitter high-profile break-up from husband Brad Pitt. The 41-year-old actress – who split from Brad last September after 12 years together – was in Cambodia with her six children and admitted: “We’re focusing on the health of our family. We will be stronger when we come out of this, that’s what we’re determined to do.” BITTER FEUD Despite being the golden couple of Hollywood, Brad and Angelina’s divorce quickly turned nasty on both sides. Angelina was the target of a Hollywood backlash as A-listers sided with Brad, claiming she had tried to paint him as a…

Taking their son for a walk around a Liverpool park last week, Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell finally seemed to be putting their bitter past behind them. The former couple, who got together on Celebrity Big Brother in January 2016, but split in May over cheating allegations, appeared relaxed in each other’s company and even shared a joke as they doted on seven-week-old Caben-Albi after Jeremy, who lives in Dublin, travelled north to spend six days with them. BURYING THE HATCHET Now insiders have revealed that seeing Jeremy with their son may have reignited Steph’s feelings for her ex. A source says: “The pair spent nearly a week at Steph’s house – a lot of the time her family were there, too. There were a few heated arguments about Jeremy’s…

‘We always say we want kids – but not yet’ They’ve struggled to spend time together since tying the knot in May 2015, with their careers keeping them on opposite sides of the world. But as Michelle Keegan prepares to jet off to South Africa to film the third series of Our Girl , the 29-year-old actress tells Closer that she and husband Mark Wright won’t let the distance ruin their relationship. SEPARATE CAREERS Speaking at the BRITs, she says: “Everything is fine with us. We have separate careers. Why is that a bad thing? I’ve got to go away for work. I’m just a normal girl, doing my job. “We know what to expect when I go away this time. Why can’t a woman have a career, work away…

Actress Lucy Fallon, 21, who plays victim Bethany Platt, has admitted she finds watching the gritty grooming scenes tough. She says: “I haven’t actually watched it yet because it does make me feel quite uncomfortable, as it does for a lot of the viewers. But it’s so important that we do it, especially at this time because we’re targeting people who watch Coronation Street, who are young.” She adds that the storyline is set to get more sinister: “What [Bethany] doesn’t realise is Nathan’s not in it for the same reasons she is. She’s gradually falling in love, but he’s only sticking around while he can get something out of it – and where that’s going is pretty scary.”…

She proved her feud with former-BFFturned arch nemesis Paris Hilton was well and truly over last week when she publicly wished her a happy birthday on Snapchat – and now sources say Kim Kardashian is plotting an epic comeback with her “frenemy.” Kim, 36, was left reeling following her terrifying attack in Paris last October. She then went into hiding for three months – an opportunity, insiders told Closer , Paris chose to use to remerge on to the Hollywood party scene. Pals say Paris, 36 – who’s said to be dating actor Chris Zylka, 31 – had been waiting in the wings to strike after taking an extended break from the spotlight. And sources say Kim – who has North, three, and Saint, one, with rapper husband Kanye West,…

Stewart made several mistakes which led to him being caught: • He waited four days before he contacted the police about her disappearance, and forgot basic details, including her eye colour. • Two months after Helen disappeared, he jetted off to Spain on a holiday he’d previously booked with her. • When questioned by police, he said two men – Nick and Joe – had visited his home and may have taken Helen hostage. In earlier interviews he forgot their names and said he’d had no visitors.…

AGE-GAP LOVERS Despite a 38-year age gap, Edna and Simon Martin married in 2005. Edna was 70 and Simon just 32 when they tied the knot, but the pair are still very much in love. The music enthusiasts, who met at an organ recital, even renewed their vows in 2015 at their home. Edna said: “We hold hands all the time and we’re still crazy about each other.” TRIO TIE THE KNOT Doll, Kitten and Brynn, from Massachusetts, USA, became the world’s first “married” lesbian threesome in 2013. Each of their fathers walked them down the aisle and they all wore white dresses and exchanged rings. Brynn said: “Just because we aren’t the typical configuration, I didn’t want to not get married.” FAIRGROUND ATTRACTION Linda Ducharme married a Ferris wheel…

It’s one of the most unlikely showbiz pairings, but last week former TOWIE star Tom Kilbey was romantically linked to Paris Jackson, 18, after they hung out in LA. Insiders tell Closer how the former footballer, 26, who dated Lydia Bright in 2013 – has grown close to the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, since her split from her boyfriend, Michael Snoddy, earlier this month. A source reveals: “Tom’s been trying to launch a photography career in LA and met Paris through some model pals a few weeks ago. They immediately struck up a connection and have been spending a lot of time together. He’s blown away by Paris’ work ethic and says they have chemistry. “Paris likes the fact Tom isn’t affiliated with Hollywood as she finds it…

Kerry Needham, 44, whose son Ben went missing in 1991, backs the McCanns’ bid to clear their names. She says: “Jodie Marsh has no idea how she would react to this situation – she’s not even a mother, let alone the mother of a missing child. Nobody has a clue what they’d do until they’re thrown into a situation where they’re living daily with the nightmare of having a child go missing. “Of course anyone – including myself – would be digging the dirt with our hands if we thought we’d find our child. But I’d also be fighting to clear my name against any false accusations. Gerry and Kate have every right to ensure they keep their reputations intact. Their other kids will read these reports and may well…

“I WAKE UP AT AROUND 6.30AM NATURALLY – I CAN’T JUST LIE IN BED! I take my toy poodle Snoop for a walk and go for a run. I like to raise my heartbeat at the start of the day, otherwise I lie in bed with anxiety. Having something to get me up while listening to positive music makes me feel good. I’VE STARTED DOING BOXING CLASSES THREE TIMES A WEEK AT 8.15AM. It’s good for my mental health. If I’m angry, it’s great to have something to take it out on! IF I’M NEAR A CAFÉ, I’LL GET A FLAT WHITE OR MATCHA LATTE. At home, I have breakfast – my favourite meal of the day – which is normally smashed avocado, scrambled eggs and brown toast. I spend…

She showed off the results of her recent weight loss in a skimpy bikini with a PDA-packed beach display on a recent holiday to Dubai – and now pals say former TOWIE star Danielle Armstrong is hoping she and her footballer boyfriend Daniel Spiller will become a new power couple. Danielle, 28, who opened up about their romance last week, has told pals how she wants to turn her and Daniel, 35, into the UK’s biggest showbiz pair. A source reveals: “Danielle would love to boost her career and says she’s in talks for a reality show. She would love to do a range of ‘his and hers’ products, along with some presenting gigs together.” Danielle was first linked to multi-millionaire Daniel last year just before she quit TOWIE to…

He shot to fame on The X Factor in 2014, but after being voted off, Jake Quickenden took advantage of his newfound popularity and headed on to I’m A Celeb! weeks later . At the time, X Factor boss Simon Cowell, 57, slammed Jake for using the show as a shortcut to fame, saying: “We want people on this show who want to be recording artists in the real world.” But, finally lifting the lid on how they ended the spat, Jake insists there’s no hard feelings between the pair, telling Closer: “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. My first love is music. I saw Simon at the final, after I came out of the jungle, and he just gave me a hug and said: ‘Good on you, you’ve…

CROPPED Ideal for petite ladies, cropped styles instantly elongate legs, giving the image of a longer-length silhouette. A frayed hem will give you extra style points, too. BOYFRIEND The laid-back style of a boyfriend jean is great for creating a casual-yet-cool style. Wear low-waisted if you’ve got a boyish figure, and go for a mid-rise if you’ve got an hourglass shape, to skim over love handles. WIDE-LEG Fanning out from the top to the bottom, wide-leg jeans are excellent for creating the illusion of longer and leaner legs thanks to their hip-balancing properties. Ombre washes give the ’70s style a modern twist. SKINNY Hailed as the go-to style for jeans lovers, the skinny is a wardrobe must-have. Great for every shape, the slim silhouette gives you a streamlined look. Embroidered…

TRADE SECRETS… Cleaning up an uneven eyeliner flick with your finger tip or brush can often lead to a bigger smudge than you started out with! Next time you mess up your artistic eyes, don’t wipe it. Instead, simply disguise your error with a nude eyeliner or concealer stick. Opt for a natural-toned pencil and gently draw over the squiggle to hide any mistakes and create an even sharper line. Just ensure the point is super-fine, so you don’t cover up too much, and gently pat with your pinkie finger to blend. HOW TO GET KATE’S NATURAL-LOOKING BROWS Drawn-on, perfectly smooth arches are falling out of favour on the red carpet – and they’re being replaced with fluffy, fuller-looking, natural brows. Hollywood star Kate Bosworth’s peepers are a perfect example…

DON’T ISOLATE YOURSELF It can take a huge amount of effort to socialise when you’re feeling low, but the truth is that you need to stay connected. Call a friend when you’re feeling particularly down, or pop over to their house for a coffee. Chances are you will feel better for it afterwards. STRETCH YOUR LEGS Studies have shown that people who live close to green space have lower rates of depression, anxiety and poor physical health. Going for a walk in a local park and getting some fresh air will really help if you’re feeling low. Try to make this a daily habit if you can – even if it’s just for ten minutes. FIND A FURRY FRIEND Being around animals is proven to boost your mood, and many…

How much do you spend a week? I spend around £500 for me , my husband [former footballer] Ashley and our four daughters. I love entertaining and I can often have as many as 12 people round for dinner. I buy most of my meats from Costco and everything else is from Tesco or Aldi. Describe your daily diet… I wake up with a coffee and a vitamin C supplement, followed by scrambled eggs with ham and avocado. Lunch is often mushroom soup or a tuna salad. I try to make everything from scratch so dinner is a big wholesome meal like shepherd’s pie or a Thai curry. I snack on raw carrots , Snack-a-Jacks or Doritos. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I hate processed foods. I believe…

Matt shot to fame playing the dimwitted womanising Joey Tribbiani on massive sitcom Friends, which ran for 10 years. When Friends was no more, BBC comedy Episodes beckoned, where he plays a fictional version of himself – winning a Golden Globe in the process.

THE GREY FAST AND FURRY-IOUS SUN 5/FRI 10 MARCH, 10/11.05PM, E4 After Taken turned him into an unlikely action hero, Liam Neeson went survivalist in this gritty 2012 thriller – taking on wolves in the wilds of Alaska when his plane home from a job crashes.

...EXCEPT WHEN THEY’RE WORLDS APART…

It’s been the worst-kept secret in showbiz history despite her entire pregnancy being shrouded in mystery, but last week pictures finally emerged of a glowing Cheryl proudly showing-off her baby bump, looking blissfully happy. The singer, 33, was grinning from ear-to-ear as she revealed her pregnancy curves in the campaign shot for The Prince’s Trust and L’Oréal Paris’ collaboration. But fans continued to speculate whether baby “Chiam” had already arrived. One asked on Twitter: “Is this a sneaky way of saying Cheryl has just given birth?” and another commented on Instagram: “Does that mean she’s in labour now?” FEELING NERVOUS The former Girls Aloud star has spent the past few months going to every effort to hide her baby news – concealing the bump, never talking about her pregnancy, and…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “If you have a child, but have split up, you must detach yourself from emotions and accept the child must come first. You’ve got to see each other as co-parents, not exes. “To prevent arguments, you need to ensure you set boundaries – like visitation arrangements – which you both agree on. And you’ve got to be respectful and positive about your ex partner in front of the child. “But with your ex back around and a baby to focus on, it’s easy to get swept up with the family ideal. “However, you need to think carefully and not do it for the sole sake of the baby. “If Steph and Jeremy do reunite and give their relationship another go, they must confront…

She revealed she was planning to quit Essex for Los Angeles at the end of last year, and now pals say Sam Faiers’ recent holiday to California was preparation for a big move Stateside, where she hopes to turn her family into “the British Kardashians .” NEW SERIES The former TOWIE star, 26, visited the US with boyfriend Paul, 27, and one-year-old Paul Jr. She documented the trip with a string of social media snaps, which showed her staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and enjoying nights out with pals Ferne McCann, 26, and Luisa Zissman, 29. Now, insiders tell Closer how Sam – who has earned a whopping £5m since leaving the reality show in 2014, with endorsements, fashion ranges, a tell-all book deal and her own celebrity training…

There are tell-tale signs that grooming could be taking place. Parents should look out for the young person being secretive, having new things such as clothes or a mobile, or going to unusual places to meet friends. You should: • Have regular conversations with your child about what’s going on in their life. • Speak to them in a neutral, relaxed environment – maybe on a walk or bike ride, or even in the car. • Visit nspcc.org uk for help and support if you’re concerned your child may be a victim of grooming.…

They’ve shared a close friendship over the years with Kanye West being father-in-law Bruce Jenner’s rock during his gender transition to become Caitlyn in 2015. And he credited the rapper for helping other family members to become more “open minded.” Now insiders say Kanye is turning to Caitlyn as he recovers from the breakdown he suffered in November. A source says: “Caitlyn’s been counselling Kanye over the past few months and they often talk for hours on the phone or at her Malibu home, which has become a refuge for him. He feels a deep connection with Caitlyn, who’s had bouts of depression and struggled in the limelight, which Kanye can relate to.” Kim and Kanye have been fending off marriage trouble rumours, which pals say Caitlyn has also been…

She loves a selfie and a sexy outfit, but who is the showbiz circuit’s fastest-rising star? She’s risen from the ranks of a Victoria’s Secret angel to a fully-fledged A-lister, marrying musician John Legend, becoming best pals with Kim Kardashian, and amassing an £8m fortune. And Chrissy Teigen, 31, has also endeared herself to the public – her no-nonsense attitude and brutally honest approach to motherhood have earned her over 4million Twitter followers. Growing up in California, she was scouted as a teenager while working in a surf shop. Her modelling career took off in 2010 when she appeared in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and, since then, she’s co-presented Lip Sync Battle, released a cookbook, Cravings, and has her own foodie website, So Delushious. With no end to her talents,…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Suki Waterhouse Vs Selena Gomez A Varsity jacket is one of the most versatile items, as both actresses demonstrate, styling this silky red Coach number very differently. Suki wore it first, teaming hers with jeans and white tassled moccasins. A week later, Selena dressed up the same jacket with a floral frock and stilettos. VERDICT Both look fab, but we’re loving Selena’s edgy styling, giving her this week’s crown. STYLE CRUSH! FAB IN FLORALS! Katy Perry, 32 There were some pretty garish outfits at this year’s BRIT Awards, but Katy led the best-dressed at the after party in this lovely Adam Selman rose-print dress and trouser combo. Her simple gold accessories and red strappy shoes completed the romantic look. GREEN GODDESS Christine Lampard, 38 Christine turned…

One Direction fans were sent into a frenzy last week following reports Louis Tomlinson had reunited with his ex childhood sweetheart, Eleanor Calder, just two months after the tragic death of his mum, Johanna, who died aged 43 from leukaemia in December. Pals tell Closer how fashion blogger Eleanor, 24, has been supporting the singer, 25, since his devastating loss, two years after their three-year relationship ended. A source says: “Ellie was very close to Johanna and reached out to Louis following her death. “She started checking in on Louis daily and she became his rock, helping him with his grief. It led to them reuniting in LA last month and their romance being rekindled.” Louis – who split from Danielle Campbell, 21, last month after just over a year…

Reality TV star Jodie Marsh, 38, doesn’t understand why the McCanns are suing and not using that money to find Madeleine: “I Tweeted about the McCanns because it’s something I feel so strongly about. I’ve never understood how the couple – especially Kate – managed to appear so calm and controlled. “I don’t understand why they are spending money on clearing their name when that money could be spent on trying to find their daughter. “The other day my dog went missing – I was hysterical, screaming like a banshee looking for her. She was only gone for 10 minutes but I was a complete mess. “If I had a child who disappeared, that would be multiplied tenfold. “I might not be a mum, but I’ve experienced loss. When I…

They were spotted on a dinner date in Manchester two weeks ago, sparking reports of a romance – but worried pals have urged Gemma Atkinson to steer clear of Lothario Ryan Giggs, who’s had a string of high-profile affairs. An insider reveals: “Gemma’s always fancied Ryan and made a play for him when they met in December at the BBC Sports Personality Of The Year event. “They’ve been on a few dates and she insists he’s been nothing but the perfect gentleman. She’s smitten, but her friends are worried she’s falling too fast.” The 43-year-old former Manchester United player and his estranged wife Stacey Cooke, 38 – mother of his two children – are currently locked in a High Court battle over money. The footballer – who owns a restaurant,…

IN THE NEWS SHOW OFF YOUR CURVES! Spring is in the air – well, almost – meaning there has never been a better time to stock up on new-season buys. Whatever you have planned for the months ahead, Evans’ brand new bloom-inspired collection has all you need to up your style credentials for S/S17! Granted, florals are hardly groundbreaking – especially for spring – but the mix of garden prints with sheer fabrics, and embroidery with denim (we’re loving the jacket, see right) in this stellar new drop will ensure you look the best of the bunch. The whole collection is available in figure-flattering sizes 14-32, and comes with an A-lister stamp of approval, as model Hayley Hasselhoff has returned to front the campaign. What’s not to love?!

1 GLAM GLOW There are 9 shades in this range of tints, so there’s something to suit everyone. The small wand made it a doddle to apply and it blended on to leave cheeks and lips with a natural-looking flush that lasted all day. 2 TWO-IN-ONE Just one swipe of this two-tone stick is perfect for creating a natural-looking highlight over cheeks. The colour pay-off on lips didn’t disappoint, either – the tinted balm had a strong finish while keeping skin silky soft. 3 LIGHT FLUSH Patting a little of this beauty favourite on to lips both hydrated and smoothed, and the flush it created on cheeks didn’t let us down.…

Dr Sarah Jarvis, clinical director at Patient.co.uk, says: “You should never be afraid to bring up depression with your GP as there is so much support available. Be brave and get it off your chest – the sooner you admit to having a problem, the sooner you’ll get better. Your doctor will understand your symptoms and you can always bring a friend or family member if you think it would help. You may be asked to complete a patient health questionnaire or undergo a telephone interview, which helps your GP understand the severity of your depression. You’ll then be referred to IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies), where they decide what services are best for you. Sometimes this might be counselling sessions, a self-help group, or even cognitive behavioural therapy…

There’s one simple rule – antibiotics only treat bacterial infections, not viral ones, so when you feel awful and ask for them, that’s why we often say no, because they won’t work! We’re running out of antibiotics, and I see it every day. When I send samples to the lab, they grow the bug, then send me a list of antibiotics and tell me if they’re “sensitive” or “resistant” to it. More and more, I get columns of “r” for resistant. Antibiotics I used to prescribe don’t exist any more. It’s not just because GPs have overprescribed them, bacteria is becoming resistant to the drugs because people skip them, save them up for later and share them with friends. For example, if you take antibiotics for a few days, then…

TV’s Sarah Willingham reveals how to take control of your finances & make the most of your cash  “I left school in 2015 and started a practical apprenticeship in business administration at a beauty salon. I was earning £3.50 per hour as a receptionist, working 11 hours a day. The salon closed, but I went to a different salon on the same scheme, earning £5.50 per hour for seven hours a day. After three months I had a disagreement with my manager and was let go last summer. In both jobs I felt I was overworked and underpaid. “In December I started as an administrator at an accountancy firm – again on the same scheme. But I left after a month because I felt I wasn’t being paid enough.…

Social networking has changed relationships hugely. The likelihood of bumping into an ex 10 years ago was slim, and when relationships ended, so too did regular communication. Now, not only do many of us have our ex on our Facebook friends list, we also have our whole relationship history captured in social media photo albums. So what online behaviour is appropriate when you fall for someone new? HOW TO ESTABLISH BOUNDARIES • HAVE THE PICTURE CHAT. Have a conversation about pictures of your previous relationships. I didn’t like the thousands of pictures of my husband with his ex and he felt the same about my past relationships, so we agreed to remove them from our social networks and start our own story. • DON’T BE A VICTIM OF CONTROLLING BEHAVIOUR.…

Tell us about the new Top Gear , which you’re fronting along with co-hosts Rory Reid and Chris Harris…? There’ll still be plenty of cars and all the technical talk, but there’s also a comedy element! My background is comedy and it’s fun to find a balance between that and the car porn... Will you still be having celebrity guests on the show? Yes – although, I can’t give any names yet, and hopefully they’ll be more involved throughout the whole show rather than just one segment. We hear there’s a lot more banter – a bit like when original hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond did the show? What people forget is, it took them a while to build up a rapport. This is…

In real life, Rhona Goskirk – who made her first appearance on the soap 16 years ago – is played by actress Zoe Henry. Zoe is married to fellow Emmerdaler Jeff Hordley (who plays Cain Dingle) and they have two children together. On the soap, Rhona has given birth to baby Leo (who has Down’s syndrome), married vet Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt), become addicted to painkillers, and was involved in the show’s biggest stunt; “No Return Week” (the fall-out from a recent massive pile-up). Phew!…

CAREY MULLIGAN, 31: Carey didn’t confirm her pregnancy or the birth of daughter Evelyn until a month after she was born in September 2015. The notoriously private actress, who married rocker Marcus Mumford in 2012, wore loose-fitting dresses for six months. In October 2015, she told Graham Norton on his show: “It’s a girl!” LAURA LINNEY, 53: The Love Actually actress remained quiet right up until she gave birth to her first child, aged 49. Fans were shocked when Laura had son Bennett in 2014 and, while she isn’t as private about her son now, Laura said: “I wanted to make sure that my child actually arrived, and was safe and healthy.” ADELE, 28: She attended the 2012 BRITs at five months pregnant, but no one clocked she was expecting…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS : “Like Angelina, the average age of a woman going through divorce is between 40-44. “Obviously it can be devastating. It usually means the breakdown of a family unit, financial arguments and fear of the unknown. “But becoming single in your 40s can be hugely empowering, as Angelina and Kylie are discovering – so long as you approach it in the right way. You have to see it as a chance to focus on yourself. “In long-term relationships, you can lose your sense of self over time. After a breakup, it’s helpful to concentrate on the future and something new; find a new hobby, join a new fitness class or go on an exciting holiday. “Treat your body with respect by eating well…

She’s one of the UK’s most successful models, yet Kelly Brook has faced taunts about her hourglass figure over the years, with everyone from Jordan to Katie Hopkins making jibes about her weight. Last week was no exception, when unflattering photos of the 37-year-old surfaced and trolls branded her “fat, old and cheap.” Newspaper columnist Kelvin MacKenzie wrote: “If she carries on like this she will go from page 3 to page 33,” cruelly adding that he’d see her at Slimming World. SUPPORT NETWORK A source says: “Kelly tries to ignore the trolls, but it is upsetting. She calls her friends and family for support, and her boyfriend Jeremy [Parisi] is great. She’s determined not to let people she doesn’t know bring her down.” Just days earlier, Kelly – who…

At just 14, Alex was thrilled to be lavished with expensive jewellery and flashy new phones. The gifts came from her new older “friends,” brothers Shamin Uddin, 30, and Giash Uddin, 31, and their friend Robert Jackson, 27. But she had no idea these men were grooming her to eventually sleep with other men. Although shocking, Alex’s story is far from an isolated case. There have been many other appalling high-profile cases of children being exploited in sex rings. The Rotherham child abuse scandal revealed around 1,400 children were subjected to sexual exploitation between 1997 and 2013, with a report finding South Yorkshire police had failed to prioritise the issue. CHILD SEX PARTIES Earlier this month, six members of the child sex gang were jailed for a combined total of…

After their bitter split in 2014, Danielle Lloyd appeared ready to end the hostility with her ex Jamie O’Hara when she recently told Closer she didn’t want to fight any more.

So what made Helen – who a neighbour described as a “beautiful, classy,…
