Closer Issue 837의 목차

How easy is it really to escape your past? We’re told we should live in the moment, but looking back is often irresistible. It’s nearly 10 years since Jordan split from Peter Andre, yet those close to her maintain she’s never got over him – on page 4 we reveal why. Meanwhile, Ant McPartlin – who’s burst back on to the showbiz scene – continues to be publicly tied to ex Lisa Armstrong in headlines as she “likes” critical Tweets about his public declarations of love for his new girlfriend. Ant and Lisa may be estranged, but they are both still besotted with their pet dog, Hurley. If only Britain’s most famous chocolate Lab could talk… But wait! Self-styled animal psychic Ruth Bradshaw says she’s made contact with the celebrity…

Despite Ant being mocked for his NTAs win with presenting sidekick Declan Donnelly, PR guru Mark Borkowski says that it proves many of his fans have remained loyal – as it was the result of a public vote. But celeb expert Mark warns that Ant cannot afford to make any more mistakes in his private life if he wants to protect his image. Mark tells Closer , “The Ant and Dec brand is strong and well-loved – their NTAs win shows how popular they still are. Much of the public seem to have forgiven him for his troubles over last year – but I feel this is Ant’s last chance. He’s under great pressure now and he can’t put a toe out of line. The public will not be as…

She was playful and jokey during her appearance on The One Show last week, but Cheryl’s exuberance sparked concern among fans, who speculated she was trying to mask her true feelings. One wrote online, “Is Cheryl Cole OK? She’s like a Thunderbird puppet. I’m sure she wasn’t like that before. You OK babe?”. While another took to Instagram to say, “She has a sad look in her eyes, like she is not the same person from 6/7 years ago... Lost her shine.” And insiders say Cheryl, 35 – who has 22-month-old son Bear with her ex, Liam Payne – has been struggling to adjust to single life since splitting with the singer last July. A source says, “Cheryl’s life revolves around work and Bear, and she has little time for…

She’s certainly lived up to her diva alter-ego “The GC” since appearing on Dancing On Ice, dominating headlines with her latest row with judge Jason Gardiner, who she accused of selling stories on her after the judge branded her “lazy”. There were later reports that he was threatening to take legal action against her. TENSION And insiders say Gemma Collins, 37 – who has also been slammed by the show’s hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby for her unprofessionalism – is so preoccupied with the drama, it’s causing her relationship with James “Arg’” Argent, 31, to suffer. A source says, “Gemma’s life has been taken over by the show and with the recent drama surrounding her, it’s taken things to another level. “When she’s not training or performing, it’s all…

• Don’t bury your head in the sand. Keep track of your finances every single day and match your spending to what you earn. • Build up a savings buffer for any unexpected expenses or events. • Transfer your debt. If you’re making large interest payments on money that you owe, it might make financial sense to transfer it all on to a credit card with a 0 per cent balance-transfer deal. Go to Which.co.uk for the best deals. • Sign up for loyalty cards. The majority of retailers, restaurants and supermarkets reward customers every time they make a purchase. These points can then be converted into money-off vouchers. • Seek help if you are struggling with debt.

• The show was originally just going to focus on four characters: Monica, Ross, Rachel and Joey. Phoebe and Chandler were only meant to be supporting characters. • Friends had plenty of continuity errors. Monica’s apartment number changed from 5 to 20 and her kitchen window went from a view of a brick wall to a cityscape. • Producers originally wanted Courteney to play the role of Rachel, but she asked to play Monica instead because she thought the character was stronger. Jennifer first auditioned for Monica but was cast as Rachel, while Ellen DeGeneres went up for the role of Phoebe before it went to Lisa. • Lisa and Matt pitched the idea that their characters, Phoebe and Joey, had been sleeping together all along, but it was rejected…

There was an outpouring of sadness and support for former Love Island star Malin Andersson last week when her newborn daughter tragically died at just four weeks old. Malin, 26 – who starred on the ITV2 show in 2016 – gave birth to her and partner Tom Kemp’s daughter Consy in December, seven weeks prematurely. She announced last week that her “angel” had passed away and apologised for not being able to do “any more” to help her little girl, who had been in intensive care at London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital. STRING OF TRAGEDIES The former flight attendant – who named her daughter after her mum, who sadly died in November 2017 from breast cancer – shared a photo of Consy on Instagram and wrote, “Completely in love with…

Pamela Anderson recently said “many good men” have been “lost” to “porn and PlayStation” – and she’s urging younger men not to follow the same path. I agree! Porn and social media have caused issues. After staring at perfect, filtered women on a screen, men forget what real women look like. Take a walk down the street – I guarantee you won’t see people like the idealised ones on screen. Men need to look outside of the cyberworld and meet people in pubs and clubs – that’s where the real women are – so they can be reminded how amazing we are!…

Closer’s psychological therapist, Emma Kenny, says, “With divorce, you often feel a complete lack of control as well as huge stress and anxiety. You worry about finances, your emotions and the impact on your children, if you have them. “Alcohol may seem like a quick-fix to deaden those panicky emotions. While it’s understandable, in the long term it will damage you. “The best advice I can give is to take back as much control of yourself as possible by exercising, eating well and asking for support from friends and family. Try to take the time to consider the future and nurture yourself.”…

‘Fame, success & money aren’t everything’ ‘SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE’ At the beginning of every year, I look at who is sucking up all my energy and stay away. I prefer to spend my time with positive people. When somebody is relentlessly up, you can’t help but feel that way, too. That’s why I get on so well with Simon Cowell. We’ve been friends for 25 years and I found out new things when I interviewed him for my latest podcast series – where I ask celebrities what’s been the key to their success – such as how he lost all his money at one point and now never spends beyond his means. He’s full of optimism and a very clear thinker, and will walk away from things if…

When Mae West was just eight years old, she and her older sister, Heather, were delighted when they discovered a cupboard full of women’s clothes in their parents’ house. Mae, now 46, explains, “We used to play dress-up in them and Mum didn’t seem to mind.” But years later, after the horrific crimes of Fred and Rose West were discovered, Mae realised that she and her sister had been playing with the clothes of their parents’ female victims. RAPE, TORTURE, MURDER This week, a documentary revisits the site of the “house of horrors” where Fred and Rosemary West raped, tortured and murdered at least 12 women and girls – including their own daughter. When it airs, their seven surviving children will be reminded of the terror that, unbeknown to them…

1 I LIKE TO MIX UP MY PERFUMES DAY TO DAY… but one of my favourites is Calvin Klein Eternity. It’s a bit old school, but I really love it. 2 I LIKE NUDE LIP COLOURS… I usually wear Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk. It’s the perfect blush-pink tone that works for any time of day. 3 I ALWAYS USE SHAMPOO DESIGNED FOR BLONDE HAIR… My colour tends to go a little bit yellow quite quickly, so I swear by the Pro:Voke range to keep it looking its best. 4 I’VE BEEN USING THE SAME BODY LOTION SINCE I WAS A TEENAGER… The Body Shop’s Strawberry Body Butter smells amazing and really does work to keep my skin soft. 5 I HAVE QUITE DRY SKIN… but I find that applying Nivea…

While she’s carved out a successful career as a fitness guru, Chloe has slammed “irresponsible” stars who cash in on their fame by promoting weight loss. The qualified personal trainer, who spent years studying food nutrition and has released three best-selling fitness apps, says, “I get really angry when I see so many unqualified celebrities and reality stars trying to make as much money from a female audience as they can. Some of them are just in genetically great shape – some of them are not being that responsible to their bodies. It’s not just diets and workouts – it’s everything from laxatives to faddy herbal teas. I look at some of these celebs and think, 'You have no qualifications to be promoting this, yet you are making more money…

Despite the scary headlines, this study didn’t find that tea ups the risk of kidney disease. This story is just clickbait designed to frighten people, which got my blood boiling. IT’S ABOUT WEIGHT The explanation is very far-fetched; drinking too much tea can make you fat, being fat can lead to high blood pressure, and that can lead to renal failure. How can tea make you fat, though? Well, most of the tea drinkers in this study took sugar in their brew – so it’s not the tea causing the problems, it’s the sugar. Also, if you’re having sugary teas, you’re likely to have a sweet tooth and be eating other sweet treats, but they didn’t ask people about food. The truth is, obesity can cause kidney disease, but nobody…

If I’ve learned anything about dating, it’s this: there are so many lovely people out there. They may not be my prince, but that doesn’t mean they’re not someone else’s. But I’ve realised my positive experiences have made me naive to the dangers of meeting a stranger for a night out. It’s now the norm to spend an evening drinking with someone we’ve met online. But I had a scare last week when my best friend was on a date. She told me at 1pm that she was worried she’d been stood up as her messages weren’t sending, then she received a text from him confirming he’d given her the wrong number and all was OK. During her date, she sent me a few texts, but they had loads of…

How did this beautiful friendship begin? It began, believe it or not, over karaoke! We were singing S Club 7’s Reach for an item on This Morning and as Jean-Christophe was also in the studio, I thought I’d get him to sing with me… At first he said, “No, I’m not doing that!” – but after a little bit of persuasion, he came over and did it, bless him! He loved every minute and I think I brought out his inner child. Have you been to France before? I’ve only been to Paris and Euro Disney – never Bordeaux. It was fantastic to see the authentic France; I thought it was beautiful. Did anything really surprise you? It might sound silly, but I was surprised by Jean-Christophe’s amazing French, because…

MUST READ The Last (HANNA JAMESON) Historian Jon Keller is on a trip to Switzerland when the world ends. As the lights go out on civilisation, just 20 people have survived alongside him. Then the body of a young girl is found. It’s clear she has been murdered, which means that someone in the hotel is a killer. As paranoia descends, Jon decides to investigate. But how far is he willing to go in the pursuit of justice? And what kind of justice can he hope for, when society as he knows it no longer exists? A dark and compelling read. BEST DAY OUT Peaky Tours If you’re in need of a Peaky Blinders fix before Season 5 lands later this year, whet your appetite with Birmingham’s Peaky Tours. With…

She’s had a turbulent relationship with her ex-husband Peter Andre since their marriage collapsed in 2009 – enduring bitter court battles and numerous public spats over their children, Junior, 13, and Princess, 11. But last week, Jordan’s estranged third husband, Kieran Hayler, 32, revealed how Pete, 45, still had her heart, insisting, “He was the love of her life and no one can compete with that.” Kieran – whose own marriage to Jordan, 40, was blighted by his infidelities until their split last May – added, “She always said if it wasn’t for her celeb lifestyle, the reality shows and stuff, she and Peter probably would’ve lasted.” OLD WOUNDS And insiders say that, deep down, Jordan – also known as Katie Price – secretly blames herself for the breakdown of…

She insisted she was ready to find love when she signed up for Celebs Go Dating – just weeks after ending her four-month relationship with Ryan Mahoney in October. But last week it was reported that Kerry Katona, 38, was back in contact with the personal trainer – sparking speculation the romance was back on. A source says, “Unlike Kerry’s other exes, she only had good things to say about Ryan. She split with him because she wanted to focus on herself, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t missed him. Taking part in a dating show brought home to her how the grass isn’t always greener. Kerry’s insisting they’re just spending time together and she isn’t putting a label on things. She’s still going on dates for Celebs Go Dating and…

IS TROUBLE BREWING FOR JAC & DAN? After a self-confessed “bad patch” in their marriage last year, Dan Osborne and Jacqueline Jossa reconciled in October, insisting they were “stronger than ever”. But it appears there may be trouble brewing again for the couple after they were pictured looking strained at the NTAs last week. Jacqueline, 26, appeared upset while Dan, 27, looked on – with guests claiming that Jacqueline had seen Dan “chatting to a group of women” and insisted they left the event early. However, Dan was quick to deny the reports, posting a picture of the couple on Instagram and captioning it, “Couple of pictures from NTAs... What nonsense! Actually had a great night and what was online was not true at all.” The EastEnders actress and former…

Emma Lindley, 36, who works in facilities, has run up thousands of pounds’ worth of debt – twice. Emma, who lives with her parents in Sandhurst, Berkshire, says, “It started when I was 18 and went to university. I was offered an interest-free overdraft and a credit card and snapped them up. But it set the tone for my future – I got used to borrowing and living well beyond my means. I’d go on holiday at the drop of a hat and buy expensive beauty products on my credit cards. “The first time I realised I needed help was 10 years ago. I was earning £900 a month and paying out £850 on my debts. I couldn’t even afford tampons! At the time, I was working at a hotel…

She hit the headlines as Closer went to press last week, with reports she’d been spoken to by police after allegedly throwing a drink at Love Island’s Adam Collard after a row at the NTAs. And as we chat to Ferne McCann the following afternoon, she remains tight-lipped about the reported incident with Adam. The 28 year old may have been famed for her outspoken reputation on TOWIE , but she says she’s a different person to the one portrayed during her time on the reality show. She says, “Who I was on TOWIE and who I am now are two completely different people. TOWIE was scripted reality and drama was heightened and encouraged. A lot of that change has to do with maturing and growing older. So much has…

This time last year, Vicky Pattison was excitedly planning her wedding to the love of her life, John Noble. But her dreams came crashing down around her in November, when he was pictured cosying up to a number of women while on holiday. Last week, Vicky, 31, looked like she had well and truly moved on from John, also 31, when she was snapped kissing TOWIE star Ercan Ramadan, with whom she’d also celebrated her recent birthday. And although Vicky’s staying tight-lipped about any new romance, she reveals she’s been leaning on family and friends, including TOWIE stars Pete Wicks and Ferne McCann, since her messy split. She also admits she relates to fellow Geordie Cheryl, who has articulated her unlucky-in-love experiences in her latest single Love Made Me Do…

JORDAN Reality star Jordan, 40, blamed her marriage split from Kieran Hayler, 31, last year for her publicised drink and drug binges – saying she needed the escapism and was depressed. She said, “I saw a doctor about it. I’ve been through a lot, but some things are an escapism and that’s just your way of dealing with them at the time.” ANTHEA TURNER In her book How To Survive Divorce, the 58-year-old TV presenter opened up about her painful split from Grant Bovey, 57, in 2015. She said, “I felt as if someone had died. In the following months I must have read every self-help book going, drunk far too much alcohol and spent days under the duvet, trying to shut out the world.” KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN The 34-year-old reality…

‘Fatherhood gives you a whole new perspective’ His biting comments and sharp put-downs on The X Factor earned him the nickname Mr Nasty, although Simon Cowell has insisted he’s nothing like his TV persona in real life. But the music mogul – who is reportedly worth over £400 million – does admit his success is largely down to his jealous nature and fiercely competitive personality. Speaking on Paul McKenna’s Positivity Podcast, the 59-year-old said, “I am still incredibly competitive. I don’t like my friends to do well. I really don’t. Jealousy, in a weird way, is good for you. If you’re not jealous of your competitors, you’re not going to win. When you reach the point where you don’t care, you’ve got a problem.” But the star insists that, despite…

Closer’s psychological therapist, Emma Kenny, says, “The West children grew up with horrific abuse, which would cause long-lasting psychological effects. Because of what happened, they would have a lack of trust in anyone, which would impact every single relationship they have. They would have grown up with their behaviour constantly being dissected – other people worrying they are dangerous and, to some extent, they’d be concerned themselves that they may share traits with their parents. They’ve had to erase their childhood and deal with the constant fear of being recognised.”…

NUTRITIONIST JULIETTE KELLOW SAYS: “Cath has found a way of eating that suits her, but eating Paleo-style isn’t for everyone and experts recommend we include starchy, high-fibre carbs and whole grains as part of a healthy diet. As she limits dairy products, she should make sure she gets enough bone-building calcium from other foods. Good choices include fortified plant milks, beans, nuts and green veg.” FRIDGE HEALTH RATING 8.5/10 CLOSER ONLINE GET RECIPES, DIET AND FITNESS ADVICE AT CLOSERONLINE.CO.UK/DIET-BODY…

There’s new hope for cancer treatment as a trial at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge is testing a “cancer breathalyser”. In the early stages of cancer, your breath smells slightly different due to particular molecules, which some dogs are able to pick up. Scientists hope the new breath test will help doctors do the same and spot cancers early, when they are easier to treat. The two-year trial is recruiting 1,500 healthy people and cancer patients, who will breathe into the device for 10 minutes. Watch this space.…

I’M PROUD OF... my career as a professional skater. Dancing On Ice has given me wonderful opportunities, like dancing at the Royal Variety Show and the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic closing ceremonies. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS... growing old and not physically being able to do all the things I can do now. I’m always getting the mickey taken out of me for bending the truth about my age; I struggle to accept ageing. THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I’VE BEEN GIVEN WAS... when I got my first skating contract, my coaches told me to have a good time, but to save enough to put a deposit down on a house – which I did. THE BRAVEST THING I’VE DONE IS... pulling a kid out of a canal. I was on…

1 FERNE MCCANN: FIRST TIME MUM THREE NEW EPISODES LAND WED 6 FEB, 9PM, ITVBE The first series saw ex- TOWIE star Ferne McCann adjusting to pregnancy before the birth of (adorable) baby Sunday; the second documented her adjusting to life as a single parent.

Episode one mostly deals with Ferne trying to get the baby to sleep, and she goes on her first date in over two years. DID YOU KNOW? Ferne holds a PCV licence after completing training in an effort to encourage more female bus drivers. 2 THROUGH THE KEYHOLE CAITLYN JENNER’S ON SAT 2 FEB, 9.30PM, ITV Guessing whose celebrity homes Keith…

❛SHE WAS THE DUTIFUL WIFE FOR YEARS – SHE’S NOT PREPARED TO BE A SILENT VICTIM❜ He praised his “wonderful” girlfriend of just eight months in a tell-all interview last week, crediting former PA Anne-Marie Corbett as having “saved him” amid a battle with alcohol dependency and painkiller addiction that resulted in his drink-drive arrest following a car crash last year. But Ant McPartlin, 43, was slammed by fans after he failed to mention the support he’d had from his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong, 42, during their 24 years together. And he was criticised in a flurry of Tweets for appearing to make a dig about Lisa “liking” messages on social media, saying in the interview, “I’ve not been on social media or put any of my personal views out there.…

Shameless star Tina Malone confirmed last week that she was being summoned to the High Court over reports she allegedly retweeted a photo believed to be of Jon Venables, one of the killers of James Bulger. Taking to Facebook last week, Tina, 55, begged for help in finding a lawyer after receiving the summons for allegations of contempt of court. There is a court order banning anyone from publishing anything that could lead to killers Venables and Robert Thompson being identified. Anyone in breach of that order could be jailed for up to two years. Mum-of-two Tina wrote, “I need a lawyer asap!!!! I’ve been committed to the high court!!! Omg anyone know any free legal lawyer for me asap!!!! I’m serious!!! Becoz I retweeted something!! [sic].” Venables and Thompson…

Former WAG Nicola McLean, 37 – whose husband Tom Williams played for West Ham, Bristol City and then a stint in America for Arizona United – says life can be lonely when you’re forced to live overseas to support your footballer spouse. She says, “As a WAG, your entire life is structured around your husband’s career. I had to move 13 times in seven years while my husband Tom was playing – from Leeds to Swansea to Kent to Bristol and finally to Arizona in the US. “I understand how Coleen’s feeling – it was such a culture shock and really tough moving abroad. It’s easier for the men as they have a ready-made friendship group with their football team. However, it was much harder for me. You could meet…

For Maria Neveda, her debts were so bad she thought she would lose her house as a result of her staggering £100,000 credit card debt. University professor and mum-of-three Maria, 56, says, “When I realised the scale of our debts, I didn’t eat or sleep for 10 days. My relationship with my husband, John, nearly fell apart. I kept looking at our son, who was then seven, and bursting into tears. I felt we’d stolen his future. I was so angry with myself – in the main it was avoidable, though some of it was shoring up my husband’s consultancy business.” Although Maria’s case is extreme, it’s not an isolated incident. The UK’s personal debt is on the rise – overall, we owe a staggering £1.6 trillion, up from £1.55…

CHARLOTTE: ‘Josh is the one who throws tantrums’ Her wild antics have seen her land her own reality show on MTV, but despite often breaking down in tears and being at the centre of blazing rows on screen, Charlotte Crosby insists she never gets stroppy. The reality star, 28, says, “I go in and I get the job done when it comes to filming my shows. If something bad has happened, then I can get upset and angry, but I’ll never throw a tantrum.” Instead, Charlotte claims her boyfriend Joshua Ritchie, 24, whom she’s been dating for a year, is the one to have meltdowns. She adds, “Josh is the one who throws tantrums – he’s very good at that!” Charlotte – who found fame on Geordie Shore in 2011,…

USE THE BLOCK BUTTON “John’s blocked from all my social media accounts, my phone, and everything else. He doesn’t deserve to know anything about me or my life any more. I know at some point I’ll have to see him with a new girl or see what he’s up to, but it’s best to cut them out of your life.” SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE “My friends have been brilliant, visiting me all the time, refusing to let me sleep alone. My mum has been amazing, too – she is an incredible woman and she knew to just sit in silence with me and hold my hand if I needed to.” FORGIVE AND FORGET “I don’t want to hate John. Hate is such a strong thing and it’s a curved…

Closer’s deputy editor Caroline Reid took Barney, her five-year-old Labrador, to meet Ruth. She says, “Ruth spends a few moments staring into Barney’s eyes and ‘connecting her soul’ to his before using Kinesiology muscle testing (a practice that claims to diagnose mental and physical ailments) to ask some simple questions. ‘Barney is happy and adores you,’ Ruth tells me. She found no pain in his body, but says he’d benefit from regular massage. He reveals his favourite colour is yellow (like his favourite banana treat), his night-time insomnia is the result of next door’s cat pulling faces through the kitchen window, and he loves lazy mornings under the duvet, but worries I’m not good at relaxing. Barney tells Ruth that he’d like to be told when we’re going away, as…

I HAVE A CRAZY LIFESTYLE. No two days are the same. A typical day in the life of filming Geordie Shore is absolutely ridiculous – we return home after a night of clubbing at 3am, then producers wake us up at 9am. We’re often hungover – and I get the worst beer-fear when I can’t remember the previous night’s events. In a normal world you can just check Snapchat to see if you’ve made an idiot out of yourself, but our phones are taken away from us during filming, so we rely on what the producers tell us. I CAN’T FUNCTION BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7AM-11AM. On a day that I’m not filming, I wake up late before heading to the gym. It’s always a struggle to get going but,…

Mum of two Lucy Rocca, 43, lives in Sheffield. She has two daughters, Isabel, now 20, and Lily, now six, and runs online support group Soberistas, for women who have alcohol issues. She says, “On Valentine’s Day 2003, I woke up to find my husband of four years packing his bags. He told me he was leaving me and that he’d developed feelings for someone else. It was completely out of the blue and I was floored. We’d been together for six years in total, and when we got married I thought we’d be together for life – but suddenly he was gone. “I was heartbroken and turned to drink to numb the pain. We’d both enjoyed partying previously, but after having Isabel, who was four when we split up,…

REGRETS... “I wish I had spent more money in music publishing. I would love to have owned more copyright. Songs are like art. That is my one regret.” CHILDHOOD... “I had a really happy childhood, but I was frustrated because I got bored easily. And that’s still a problem with me now. I’ve got a very low boredom threshold.” AMBITIONS... “I wanted to be a film producer because my next door neighbour ran MGM Studios in London. So it was a big house, fantastic parties, everyone looked great. He was very cool, this guy. I thought I would rather be him than the actor or the actress.”…

‘We want to have fun before having kids’ With her incredible gym- honed physique, thriving career as a fitness guru and rugby star husband on her arm, it’s little wonder Chloe Madeley is on cloud nine. But the straight-talking star, who has revealed in the past how exercise helped her battle low self-esteem, depression and panic attacks, admits she still needs professional help to fight her demons. A DARK PLACE The 31-year-old daughter of TV chat show legends Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan tells Closer, “I still go to therapy all the time – it really helps.
