Closer 13 June 2017의 목차

This week, the stars have been queuing up to talk to us! Vicky Pattison and Natasha Hamilton have opened up about their love lives and body issues, while Piers Morgan reveals how he and Susanna Reid go clubbing until 3am, Kristina Rihanoff tells us how motherhood has changed her body forever, and Ola Jordan has thrown thr open her wardrobe doors to talk us through her fashion choices. But perhaps our most revealing interview is with Tina Malone’s daughter Danielle, who has slammed her mum for choosing to have another baby at 54. Read her brutally honest chat on page 32, in which she brands her mum “insane” and “selfish.” Like Tina, she certainly speaks her mind!…

She recently revealed to Closer that she has had a £5k Brazilian butt lift, telling us she has no qualms about going under the knife time and time again – and last week Chloe Khan was snapped with what appeared to be a new nose job. Shockingly, Chloe, 26, had a cosmetic procedure carried out on her nose just three months ago, reportedly to rectify sinus and breathing problems. The reality star has previously undergone rhinoplasty to neaten her nose. Surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe says: “It looks as if Chloe’s had a recent non-surgical nose job, which involves injecting a gel. The centre of her nose is quite bulgy, which is a sign of over-injecting filler. The gel starts slipping when you wear glasses or smile and the nose can alter…

The brutal murder of MP Jo Cox sent shockwaves across the nation last year, when she was repeatedly shot and stabbed by a stranger in her constituency of Birstall, near Leeds. Now, as her family and friends prepare for the first anniversary of her death on 16 June, Jo’s close friend Kirsty McNeill, 37 – who helps run the Jo Cox Foundation, alongside Jo’s husband and their friends – says the anniversary of her death is even more poignant following the recent terrorist attacks. Kirsty – who lives in London with her husband, Roger, 35 – says: “I still can’t believe Jo has gone and the terror attacks have made it harder because I know how upset she would’ve been. She would have grieved for those innocent people.” Jo’s husband…

‘I know I’m going to marry John, but I’m in no hurry’ She’s been relentlessly bullied about her weight in the past – but Vicky Pattison tells Closer she feels more confident than ever after finally accepting her natural size 10 figure. Vicky, 29, slimmed down from a size 16 to an 8 in 2013, but was targeted by cruel trolls who were nasty about her body – something she’s previously admitted left her in tears. Earlier this year, she shared an Instagram video of herself in a bikini to deny claims that she heavily edited her pictures. Then, two weeks ago, reports claimed the former Geordie Shore star had undergone a second boob job (her first was in 2014 when she revealed her weight loss had left her with…

‘Without the common goal of family we drifted apart’ Anthea Turner has revealed how her ex-husband Grant Bovey – who has three daughters from a previous marriage – said he might have stayed if they’d had a family together. In a heartbreaking confession last week, Anthea, 55, said that the five failed rounds of IVF the couple went through contributed to the breakdown of their marriage in 2013. She said: “I did once ask [Grant] if he would have stayed with me if we’d had our own children, to which he replied: ‘possibly.’” And the TV presenter is not alone, with a recent study finding that couples are three times more likely to split after unsuccessful fertility treatment. Closer speaks to Samantha Walsh, 41, from Sevenoaks, Kent, who understands the…

She gave birth to her second daughter just 10 months ago but, last week, Luisa Zissman revealed she was expecting her third baby later this year. The Apprentice and Celebrity Big Brother star, 30, hinted she was having another girl by sharing a cute snap of two T-shirts and two babygros – with one titled “Princess Newbie.” As well as being mum to Dixie, seven, from her first marriage to Oliver Zissman, Luisa also has Indigo with her second husband, business tycoon Andrew Collins. And the entrepreneur appears a to be over the moon about seemingly having a third daughter, commenting on her Instagram that sh he’d “always wanted girls.” She also prreviously revealed: “My dream is to ha ave four daughters… I’m not sure I’d kn now what to…

EX-WIFE OF MP SIMON DANCZUK, KAREN, 34, BECAME KNOWN FOR HER SEXY SELFIES, AFTER POSTING PHOTOS OF HERSELF IN BIKINIS AND SHOWING OFF HER CLEAVAGE. AND KAREN ADMITS SHE LOVED THE PRAISE SHE GOT. BUT THE MUM-OF-TWO SAYS THAT – LOOKING BACK – SHE SEES IT WAS JUST FOR SELF-VALIDATION AND ATTENTION. She reveals: “People who flash the flesh and wear revealing outfits, or post Instagram selfies showing themselves with no clothes on, do it for one reason – attention. They are crying out for something that is missing in their lives. “I’m speaking from experience – I used to post revealing pictures showing my cleavage and bikini body all the time. I did it for some kind of validation – I sought compliments and praise and was pretending I…

‘I WEAR ANYTHING I WANT. I WANT TO BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS OF WHAT BEAUTY IS’ Sara Geurts used to hide her body in baggy jumpers and jeans because she was so self-conscious of her wrinkled body. Sara’s one of only a dozen people in the world who has Dermatosparaxis Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) – a rare genetic tissue disorder that leaves her with excessively saggy skin, chronic pain and fatigue. STILL BEAUTIFUL But after working on her self-confidence, the 26-year-old is now not only happy to show off her body in swimsuits, she’s started modelling and has appeared in fashion shows and social media campaigns. Sara, who works in accounting, says: “After years of struggling with my appearance, I finally feel attractive. I know my skin is wrinkled like a…

When I sign up to a new dating app I never read the Ts&Cs (does anyone?) –who knows, I may have promised to give away my first born! But now I’ve a serious reason to be worried. eHarmony believe the secret to a lasting romance is compatible lives – right down to how much you sleep, spend and work out. And now dating apps are getting so sophisticated that they’re able to gather information about us from fitness products like Fitbits and Apple Watches to gauge how much time we’re really spending in the gym or how much we’re spending. Uh-oh, looks like we won’t be able to pretend any more! This worries me and not just because I’ve lied about how much I exercise. When I’m stressed or emotional…

Does Ross regard Robert as a threat? More of an annoyance, Robert is the rich one in the village who always seems to have the upper hand. How does Ross feel when Robert and Aaron steal his taxi? He’s fuming! They’ve taken one of his most valuable possessions and he’s determined to get revenge. Do you like filming the face-off scenes with Ryan [Hawley, who plays Robert]? I love the “hard man” aspect to Ross’ character and Robert stands up to him really well. When I see I have a scene with Ryan, I always know there’ll be lots of energy and jostling to do!…

How would you describe Pitch Battle ? First and foremost, it’s a non-brutal competition. There is a £50k prize, which is amazing, but this is about the genuine love of what the groups are doing rather than a “look at me” kind of thing. And you have sung in a choir before, on Gareth Malone’s Children In Need single no less...! I can hold a tune, God bless you! The great thing about being in a choir is you don’t have to be Beyoncé to sing in one! You have to be able to listen. It’s all about the blending in. And this is your first solo Saturday night project? I’m really looking forward to it, but this show is not about the presenter at all, it’s…

 She’s admitted to being “a frustrated pop star,” but Jordan’s numerous failed attempts to make it in the music industry haven’t put her off trying for chart success. ❛ SHE’S TOLD KIERAN HE’S BEST OFF LOOKING AFTER THE KIDS AND FARM ❜ And as she promotes her latest dance track with DJ Tom Zanetti – which she was scheduled to perform at G-A-Y before cancelling in the wake of the London Bridge terror attack – the mum-of-five is now plotting her next set of appearances to boost her pop career. Insiders reveal Jordan is now heading to Ibiza – where she infamously went wild following the end of her marriage to Peter Andre in 2009 – at the end of this month for a series of promotional performances. But sources…

Looking painfully swollen with bruises covering her face, Danniella Westbrook was pictured last week in Poland after undergoing a seven-hour face lift. Following the dramatic procedure, the actress, 43, updated fans on her progress in a newspaper interview last week. She said: “They are discharging me in a bit and then I have to have the stitches out of my eyes on Sunday before I fly home. HURTING “I woke up from the operation in so much pain, it was crazy how much I was hurting. There were drains in my face, throat and neck – basically everywhere! I’m dreading them being taken out, but on the whole I feel amazing so I can’t moan too much.” Decades Decades of of drug dr and and alcohol alcohol abuse have taken…

‘KIM TOLD KANYE SHE WAS STRUGGLING TO SEE A WAY FOR THEM TO GET BACK ON TRACK’ They’ve been doing their utmost to crush rumours of marriage troubles over the past few months – with Kim Kardashian uploading gushing Instagram posts about her husband Kanye West and trying to put on a united front in public. But as the couple jetted off to the Bahamas last week with their two children, North, three, and Saint, one, pals say Kim’s plans to smooth out their problems with a lavish pre-40th birthday holiday treat for the rapper backfired. DISASTER TRIP A source says: “There was a reason Kim failed to post any snaps of their trip – it was a disaster from start to finish. “When they got on their private jet…

In the aftermath of the London terror attack, reports quickly emerged of defiant bystanders who not only helped those injured but also fought back against the terrorists despite the extreme danger. Australian nurse Kirsty Boden, 28 – who worked at Guy’s Hospital – was among the eight people killed after she heroically ran towards danger to help a victim during the onslaught. Her heartbroken family praised her actions, saying they were “so proud” and that it was proof of how “selfless, caring and heroic she was.” Off-duty police officer Charlie Guenigault, 25, and Millwall football supporter Roy Larner, both attempted to take on the terrorists with their bare hands – leaving both hospitalised with injuries. Geoff Ho, a journalist, was badly injured protecting a friend from the terrorists. A Romanian…

‘I judge myself when I put on my jeans’ She’s been married once before and has two broken engagements behind her – but Natasha Hamilton admits that she doesn’t feel scared about walking down the aisle again. The 34-year-old star got engaged to fashion businessman Charles Gay just nine months after she split from 5ive singer Ritchie Neville, with whom she has a two-year-old daughter Ella. Natasha already has four children by four different fathers and has been blasted by critics who have called her “4x4.” But she insists that her past hasn’t put her off marriage or having more babies, and that she’s learned to live in the moment. BEACH WEDDING Natasha says: “If there’s anything that my past has taught me, it’s to live in the now and…

‘We’ ’ re not ““ GG reat” Britain after this election chaos’ Following the results of last week’s general election – a hung parliament – what a state the country is in! As I write this, we’re in complete chaos – it’s not clear what will happen next, although it looks like Theresa May will cling on by striking a deal with the Democratic Unionist Party. I believe she called the election because she thought she’d cruise through it – and her campaign showed that. My daughter Caitlin is 19 and last week was the first time she could vote in an election. I told her to listen to what the politicians had to say. We all sat around our TV watching the debates and thought Jeremy Corbyn shone through.…

TV PRESENTER LIZZIE CUNDY,, 48 – WHO HAS TWO SONS, JOSH, 22, AND JAMES, 17 – IS OFTEN SNAPPED IN RISQUé OUTFITS. She says: “I don’t understand the recent fuss over Amanda Holden – she looked fantastic and obviously has the body of a teenager that deserves to be shown off. I saw her on the night and the dress did have a very low front and back, but she has an incredible shape and pulled it off. Everyone’s talking about her dress and not the acts on the show, but I’m sure she’s not upset by the nasty comments. “Women should be able to do whatever makes them feel good and if that’s revealing their amazing figures, then so be it. I definitely feel sexier as I’ve got older…

DAY 1 COACHELLA WAVE Create a deep side-parting using a tail comb and backcomb the larger section at the roots to create volume. Take medium sections of the hair. Clamp straighteners at the ends and twist upwards at 360 degrees. Gently pull to release a wave.

As she poses in a high-cut fitted swimsuit for our exclusive photo shoot, Kristina Rihanoff looks incredible considering she gave birth to her daughter just 10 months ago. But the former Strictly dancer is keen to express that despite being super fit before falling pregnant, getting back into shape afterwards was still hard for her. “I’m always so confused when people say: ‘I’ve lost my baby weight in two weeks.’ It wasn’t like that for me. You see people with flat stomachs so soon afterwards and wonder how they did it,” she says. “I don’t want other mums to look at me and think, ‘Wow, it must be so easy for her’ because it isn’t easy. It’s a big change in your body.” Kristina – who’s in a relationship with…

Since the ’50s, research into saturated fat has swung back and forth, sometimes painting it as the ultimate health villain, then saying it’s OK. The latest headlines came from a review of 29 studies, which found that eating saturated fats doesn’t increase your risk of heart attacks and strokes – but it’ll probably change again! It can be confusing, but some things are clear-cut – and that’s what we need to focus on. Firstly, it’s important to recognise that you don’t eat fat alone, so you can’t isolate it in research. Although these studies only talk about fat, the foods people will have eaten in the study will have been made up of a mixture of fat alongside sugar, protein and carbohydrates. We definitely know that when fat comes along…

We all love good food, but it can be a huge money drain. In fact, most households spend around £100 a week on food, drink, restaurants and hotels – that’s a fifth of average UK weekly earnings! We asked TopCashback’s Natasha Rachel Smith, VoucherCodesPro’s George Charles and tastecard’s Matt Turner how to avoid the most common foodie pitfalls. GO COUPON CRAZY Grabbing a banana, a coffee and a croissant can cost more than a fiver in a coffee shop, but less than £2 in a supermarket. “Supermarkets also let you use voucher codes,” says Natasha. If you can’t ditch your daily habit, loyalty pays. “Brands like Costa and Subway send newsletters to customers who have loyalty cards, offering extra points on certain days or on specific products,” adds George. “Only…

1 LOVE ISLAND SIMPLY AMAZEBALLS ON EVERY DAY, 9PM, ITV2 However have we coped without Love Island ?! The bitching, the intense evils towards anyone remotely attractive, the chaps with their big meaty bodies trying to outdo each other in the pumped-up stakes – and the game-playing between the gals who just know they have those boyz wrapped around their manicured fingers. They’re in that villa for seven weeks – and we’re only just over two weeks in! Yaaas! 2 HOST THE WEEK WITH SCARLETT MOFFATT THU 22 JUNE, 9PM, C4 Scarlett Moffatt hosts episode one of this new studio entertainment show – fronted by a different celeb each week.

She’s made no secret of the fact that she struggles with body dysmorphia, and has had several surgical and cosmetic procedures includingg lip fillers, Botox, a nose job, a boob lift and liposuction And last week, Marnie Simpson sparked speculation she’d altered her looks yet again when she was photographed in London looking dramatically different. Marnie, 25, has been worried about her looks ever since she first appeared on Geordie Shore in 2013 and confessed in February: “I don’t think I’ll ever be happy with how I look. I’ve got body dysmorphia. I don’t know what’s triggered it but I think it must be surgery. After changing one thing about myself I’ ’ ll look in the mirror and see a fault I’d never noticed before.” Top surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe…

Kris Jenner was dressed to impress last week, as she flashed her bra in a sexy see-through lace top on a night out in LA with pal Jada Pinkett-Smith. And as the 61-year-old’s relationship with Corey Gamble, 36, hits the rocks, pals say she’s already on the prowl for her next toyboy and has her eyes on rapper Drake, 30, who was rumoured to have had a fling with 47-year-old J-Lo last year. A source says: “There’s always been a huge amount of chemistry between Kris and Drake and he’s constantly flirting with her and sending raunchy messages. “Drake calls Kris ‘LA’s hottest MILF,’ which she loves. He once sneakily asked her out on a date at his album launch, even though she was there with Cory ory. . He…

BE ALERT Avoid looking at your phone when you’re in public. You’re a much easier target – for any potential dangerrr,, not just terrorists – if you’re distracted. RUN Get yourself as far away from danger as possible. HIDE If you’ve no option but to hide, find as much cover as you can. If you’re in a bar or restaurant, barricade the entrances with chairs and tables. Move away from windows and hide behind something solid. PROTECT YOURSELF If you’re trapped, look for potential weapons such as chairs, bags or glasses to defend yourself with. CALL THE POLICE If you’re scared speaking could alert a nearby attacker, dial 999. The operator will put you through to Silent Solution if you don’t reply to their questions, which lets you text instead.…

After experiencing post-natal depression with two of her pregnancies, Natasha, who is supporting a campaign called Mindful Monsters for disability charity Scope, says practising mindfulness has helped. She says: “I’ve been using mindfulness for a few years. It’s all about living in the now. You have to get rid of that negative voice. “If everything gets on top of me then I’ll sit and write things down and prioritise what’s important. It sounds so simple but it’s about slowing down that train of thought. “There’s always a thing in the back of my mind about the depression coming back. But I have to think about what is happening now and I have to live day by day.” And Natasha even involves her children with the Mindful Monsters cards, which help…

They became parents for the first time last week to twins Ella and Alexander – two of the most eagerly anticipated arrivals in the showbiz world. And as George and Amal Clooney settle into family life at their Berkshire mansion, friends say they’re overcome with happiness and plan to spend the next few weeks holed-up as they vow to be hands-on parents. A source says: “George and Amal are smitten with the twins – they feel their world is now complete. They’ve hired a live-in baby nurse and nanny, but they both want to be as involved as possible. Amal’s younger sister, Tala, has flown in to help out for the first couple of weeks and both George and Amal’s parents will also be around as an extra support.” Speaking…

From Amanda Holden’s nipple- skimming dress on Britain’s Got Talent to the countless celebs who turned up in next to nothing at last week’s Glamour Awards – it seems flashing flesh is a growing trend. But the public have been quick to criticise the racy craze. Amanda, 46, received a barrage of abuse for her risqué outfit. One viewer wrote online: “Does Amanda Holden know this is a family show and doesn’t need to dress like a stripper?” while another said: “You’re a beautiful woman Amanda… totally inappropriate outfit pre-watershed.” Psychologist Emma Kenny sayss she thinks daring to bare is just another cry for attention. She says: “These women may believee the more naked you are, the morre successful you’ll be – as sex sells ,, especially with females. With…

PRINCESS DIANA: “I once did a front page of the Mirror titled ‘Is Diana going mad?’ Twenty four hours later, I actually bumped into her in a pub! She said: ‘Ah, the man who thinks he knows my mind so well!’ That was a little bit awkward!” JEREMY CLARKSON: “He’s ended up punching me a few times – but I don’t regret it because he didn’t punch very hard. In fact, my five-year-old daughter Elise hits me harder!” MY WIFE: “Celia learned a long time ago not to try to tell me to rein it in. She wishes she could order me to put the bins out at home but I don’t think women should ever try to change their men, it never works. Let men…

FAMILY MATTERS TEACH KIDS TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA SAFELY With the internet at their fingertips, children are vulnerable, so show them how to use it happily and safely An inquiry by the Commons has said children should get lessons at school in how to “manage the risks” of Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat, amid soaring levels of online sexual abuse and bullying. This is a harrowing concern, because most of our children have access to these platforms and are often unaware of the dangers, so it’s our job as parents to prepare them. Both my children have the maximum privacy settings on all social media, so they get control over who they invite into their cyber worlds, and I’d advise every parent to do the same. When your children start using…

Blind Date must be a show that’s very close to your heart, having been such good pals with Cilla Black [who hosted the original series from 1985-2003]? When they first asked me if I wanted to do it, I said no. But then Cilla’s son Rob told me his mother would have loved me to take it on. So, I said “OK” – and actually it makes a nice change as I’m either knee-deep in wee [on ITV’s For The Love Of Dogs] or filthy out in Borneo [doing Animal Orphans]! Have you enjoyed it? It was a shock at first when I heard the music and I expected them to go: “Ladies and gentlemen, here is your host – Miss Cilla Black!” but of course they didn’t,…
