Closer Issue 843의 목차

Relationships aren’t easy, but some are harder than others. Gemma and Arg have been on and off more times than her ice skates, but friends say she’s taken him back again – despite him recently branding her “a fat, horrible lump”. Apparently she’s desperate to be a mum and feels he’s her last chance. On page 36, we chat to animal lover Adri Rachelle, who has a different outlook. She says she’d rather be single forever than with the wrong man – and shares her bed with some of her 88 pets. She’s obviously decided it’s better to share a bed with actual rats and pigs than lovers who behave like snakes! Finally, don’t miss this week’s 10-page budget special. We’ve found the very best new-season beauty, fashion and home…

He may be returning from the States to spend more time with wife Michelle, but Mark has revealed the couple have no plans to start a family any time soon. Closer previously reported how Mark’s family were desperate for the pair to have kids – but Mark, 32, confirmed that despite family pressure, he and Michelle, 31, are prioritising work commitments over parenthood. He said last week, “As soon as we got married, we got [pressure] from our mums and it’s been four years now. There is pressure, but it’s fun pressure and everyone is excited for the day it does happen. I’m always broody. I love kids. “We are not in a rush though, because we are both so busy and Michelle is off to do another series of…

Her world came crashing down when she discovered her partner Tristan Thompson had kissed her younger sister Kylie Jenner’s best friend, Jordyn Woods, at a boozy party last month. It came less than a year after his previous cheating scandal, where love-rat Tristan was accused of affairs with multiple women during the final days of Khloé Kardashian’s pregnancy. But insiders say Khloé, 34, has secretly angered her sister Kim, 38, after turning to her husband Kanye West, 41, for comfort. A source says, “Khloé and Kanye have always been very close and he’s very protective of her – even calling himself the ‘Godfather’ of the family. “Kanye’s furious with Tristan and has taken it upon himself to be there for Khloé – texting and calling her all times of the…

Community supporter and anti-knife crime activist Garvin Smale shares advice on what to do in a dangerous situation… • There’s no shame in running away. If you can, get to a public place and alert others. • Don’t try to fight back if a knife is pulled on you. And if you’re asked for your phone or purse, hand it over. • Call 999 immediately if you see a stabbing. Apply pressure to the wound until an ambulance arrives. If there’s an object in the wound, don’t remove it, apply pressure around it. • Activities like boxing and martial arts can help teens to learn how to control their ego and keep calm in a stressful situation so that it doesn’t turn physical. • Have regular conversations with your children…

She told Closer that she’d gained weight last year after a knee injury left her unable to work out. But Frankie Essex – who showed off her incredible bikini body in Tenerife last week – has told pals she’s feeling better than ever after shedding a stone and slimming down from a size 14 to a 12. A source reveals, “Frankie still can’t work out properly because of her knee, but she’s changed her diet in recent weeks. She’s cut out junk food and is trying to eat lots of healthy protein, like fish and grilled vegetables. She’s lost a stone and a dress size, but she’s trying not to obsess over a goal weight or size. Her dream used to be getting back to a size 8, but now…

She gave fans a peek of her seemingly ageless body last week when she posed naked for a selfie. And Meg admits she shuns long gym sessions for leisurely dog walks and sprint climbs along London’s Primrose Hill. But she admits that staying in shape wasn’t so easy during the menopause. “If you’re feeling as s** t as I did, it’s hard to get that energy back,” she says. “It took me a year or so to get back on track with fitness again. I didn’t have the energy to train, so I did a lot of deep breathing techniques and zen swing exercises in the mornings.” Adopting a vegan diet, Meg kicks off her day with a glass of warm water and lemon. She says, “I just say to…

She remained defiant about her father Michael Jackson, insisting the late pop legend had a “good heart” amid shocking new claims made last week that he sexually abused young boys. And Paris Jackson refuted claims that she was worried about her career in light of the allegations, saying everyone took her “life more seriously than I do”. The Leaving Neverland documentary featured Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who were friends with Michael as children and claim he sexually abused them from the ages of seven and 10 – leaving many fans sickened by their graphic and detailed accounts. BITTER DIVIDES The fresh allegations against Michael – who was acquitted of child molestation in 2005 – caused bitter divides on social media. TV host Ellen DeGeneres Tweeted, “I hope everyone watches…

“IF I’M NOT TOURING, I GET UP AT 7AM. I have Weetabix for breakfast, because I’m middle-aged and you’re told to eat it for your bowels. I’ve taken my doctor’s advice on that. I’LL TRY TO BE AT MY DESK BY 9AM. I have an office at home, where I sit and try to write material. I also have a music studio in my office. I play the drums, so I’ve created a set of infinite distractions for myself. Every day is a struggle to do some work! My band, Fat Cops, just put out a record so I can justify I’m working on that now, too. LUNCH IS NORMALLY AROUND 12.30PM. Although I might look at my watch and decide 11.55am is the time to start making lunch, and if…

‘Fame can really mess with your head’ He’s one of the most successful British stars of the century, with number-one albums, chart-topping singles and a Brit award to his name. And reflecting on the stars he’s shared the stage with, James Morrison remembers the time he performed with Girls Aloud in 2008. He says, “I loved Girls Aloud – they were a great group of girls. Cheryl’s really nice – a really gorgeous, beautiful girl. She was quite full on when we were on stage together. She kind of swung her leg across me as we were singing and I was like, ‘Oh, OK!’ I didn’t know how to react and was quite shy – I was speechless!” James, 34, rose to fame in the early 2000s, dominating the charts…

‘FOOD FUMES WON’T DAMAGE YOUR LUNGS’ Recent headlines that suggested cooking could expose people to more polluted air than a busy road had Dr C fuming... Recently, the same headline was everywhere, all focused on the same dodgy comparison; making a roast dinner is as bad for your lungs as standing on a polluted street in Delhi. What nonsense! DON’T BE WORRIED The results from the study quoted haven’t even been published yet – this story only made headlines because the university department was at a panel discussion, yet some people were claiming making a roast dinner is so dangerous, we should boil everything. A press release will have been sent out to health reporters, and they have all pulled out the most shocking fact – that roasting releases more…

Whether it’s your old mobile phone, the crib your baby has outgrown, or that TV stand gathering dust in the garage, most of us have stuff we want to get rid of. While years ago, we might have logged straight onto eBay, there are now so many selling sites – some free and some not – it can be baffling to know where to turn. We asked Julian House, founder of Myfavouritevouchercodes.co.uk and online selling expert, for his advice on where to sell your unwanted belongings. USE EBAY FOR HIGHER VALUE & NICHE ITEMS eBay charge fees (usually 10 per cent of the final selling price), but it is still good for selling niche pieces, like specialist technology or higher-value items, because with that fee comes protection. “eBay has a…

Imagine knowing what goes on in men’s minds? And that’s exactly what Ali Davis (Taraji P. Henson) discovers she can do when she inadvertently becomes able to hear men’s inner thoughts. She initially sets off to use her newfound ability to outsmart her male colleagues of the testosterone-fueled sports agent world. But in her race to the top, what she didn’t bargain for was the impact it would have on her blossoming new relationship and the hilarious consequences. What Men Want(Cert 15) is the latest must-see girls’ night comedy.…

How did you feel when Fearne Cotton told you she was leaving? I thought she was going to tell me she was having another baby, so I was quite shocked when she said she was leaving to focus on her other projects. Did you think about quitting, too? It’s been 10 years, and Holly, Fearne and I are a close group of mates. Ages ago, we said to each other that if one goes, we all go. I went to bed and slept on it – and I woke up thinking I can’t leave because I still enjoy it so much. Was it easy to get Paddy to join? I said, “Do you fancy coming and doing Juice with us?” and he was like, “Yeah, cool!”, and that was it.…

She recently went on an epic rant, slamming ex-husband Peter Andre for using their kids as an “emotional weapon” in a series of furious Instagram posts, which she later deleted. In the posts, Jordan, 40 – who shares Junior, 13, and 11-year-old Princess with Pete, 46 – branded him “cruel” and slammed him for being a “hypocrite”. One read, “A good parent does not take their child’s rights away out of the anger for the other parent.” In another, she wrote, “You will not have this control any more, wish people knew the real truth. I’ve been wrongly judged for too long now, leave me alone.” ‘SELFISH’ Jordan – real name Katie Price – continued to criticise the star in an appearance on Good Morning Britain – accusing Pete of…

‘IF MEGHAN WANTED TO HAVE KATE’S GUIDANCE, SHE SHOULD HAVE REACHED OUT’ Reports of a feud between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton show no sign of stopping, with the increasing distance between the royals becoming even more apparent last week when they attended polar opposite public events. While Kate, 37, and Prince William, 36, visited squats and slums in one of the poorest areas of Blackpool and spoke with locals, Meghan, also 37, joined Harry at a star-studded charity event at Wembley arena. DIFFERENT Their attendance at such different events sparked a backlash from fans – one wrote, “Will and Kate are the true humanitarians of the younger generation. Meghan and Harry are all about the glitz and glam.” Another posted, “William and Kate doing a better job than the…

She has been named as the world’s youngest self-made billionaire at just 21 years old, with an estimated worth now three times that of older sister Kim Kardashian. But Kylie Jenner – who’s made most of her fortune through her make-up brand, Kylie Cosmetics – has insisted that money doesn’t make her happy. The star – who found fame on the family reality show aged 10 – admitted, “When I know I could buy any car, any house, that happiness lasts two seconds. That’s not my real happiness.” Kylie – who has one-year-old daughter Stormi with rapper Travis Scott – has also admitted the toll fame has taken on her. She said, “I’m not that type of person where I want all the attention. It actually freaks me out… it’s…

‘IT’S NOT THE SITUATION SHE WOULD WANT TO BRING A CHILD INTO, BUT SHE’S SCARED SHE MAY NOT FIND ANYONE ELSE’ She threw James “Arg” Argent out of her house and ended their turbulent relationship last month, after he uploaded an unflattering video of her snoring on social media. And in a string of abusive messages she received from him in the fallout, he branded her a “fat, horrible lump”. But last week, the pair proved all was forgiven as they enjoyed a trip in Paris. And insiders say that despite previously insisting she wouldn’t bring a baby into such a volatile romance, Gemma, 38, secretly fears Arg may be her only hope for motherhood. INSECURE A source says, “Gemma was determined to make Arg sweat, and knew something had…

She’s undergone a dramatic transformation since first starring on TOWIE in 2013, famously getting a nose job in 2016 and slimming from a size 12 to an 8 after the birth of her daughter Sunday in November 2017. But enjoying a night out in London recently, fans couldn’t help but be shocked by Ferne McCann’s very plump pout. One wrote online, “How can anyone think lips that overfilled are attractive?” While another said, “She’s looking like a duck!” Ferne, 28, has previously shot down rumours of lip filler, insisting in 2016 that her plump pout was the result of clever make-up. She said, “I think because there’s that craze of people having their lips done, people put me in that group – and I don’t want to be in that…

KATE’S EX HITS OUT AT TOYBOY ROMANCE They’ve kept tongues wagging ever since they were spotted getting close at a Golden Globes after-party – and Kate Beckinsale confirmed her romance with US comedian Pete Davidson by publicly kissing him at a sports event last week. Kate, 45, and toyboy Pete, 25, were pictured cosying up to each other at a hockey match in New York. The pair had also sparked talk of a serious romance after they were pictured leaving one of Pete’s gigs hand-in-hand, following their rumoured hookup at the Golden Globes. While the age-gap relationship has raised eyebrows, it seems that the funnyman is just Kate’s type. The actress previously dated American comedian Matt Rife in 2017, when she was 43 and he was 21. And last week,…

We know junk food isn’t good for us, and recently scientists warned that having too much can lead to atherosclerosis – a main cause of heart attacks and strokes. That fact is hard to swallow, but I still believe everything in moderation is better than cutting out all unhealthy food. You’ve got to get the balance right. I let my daughters eat things like pizza as a treat. I’ve tried not to label food as good or bad because I think you then turn it into a much bigger issue. I want my kids to make their own decisions with food and to be happy.…

She announced her engagement to toyboy boyfriend Tom Kaulitz last Christmas – and Heidi Klum says that no one is more excited about her upcoming wedding than her children. The supermodel, 45, reveals that daughters Leni, 14, and Lou, nine, and sons Henry, 13, and Johan, 12, all love her new man, adding, “The kids adore Tom. They can’t wait for the wedding! They’ll be very involved in it all.” SHOCK SPLIT Her upcoming nuptials will mark Heidi’s third trip down the aisle. After her five-year marriage to Ric Pipino ended in 2002, Heidi married singer Seal in 2005 and they had children Henry, Johan and Lou together. But Heidi, whose daughter Leni is from a previous romance, and Seal parted ways in a shock split in 2012, with the…

The rapper was known for his ripped physique, but 50 Cent – real name Curtis Jackson – looked unrecognisable after losing 4st, slimming down to 11st 2lbs, on a nine-week liquid diet to play a cancer patient for 2013 film Things Fall Apart. Opening up about his transformation, the 6ft star said, “I had so much muscle on me that it was hard for me to lose definition, even as I got lighter and slimmer. I started running to suppress my appetite. Towards the end, it was really difficult. I was so into what I was doing that I wasn’t really concerned with that. I just kept looking at myself in the mirror, feeling like I have to be smaller.”…

JOSS STONE “I used to clean vans for a living and I’d always hear Joss on the radio. I’d think, ‘Wow, this girl is really good’. Five years later, I met her when she presented me with my Brit award. Now, she’s one of my best mates, and we do a duet on my new album.” SIMON COWELL “I met Simon at the Princess Diana memorial concert, Concert For Diana, in 2007. All the performers were backstage and everyone was watching the TV screen showing the concert. Simon was there and began playing with the remote control. I said, ‘Simon, I wouldn’t turn over if I were you, everyone’s watching this’. And he turned to me grumpily and said, ‘I was trying to find the volume’. I was like, ‘Mate,…

EVERYTHING £10 OR UNDER! 1 VITAMIN C Not just found in your morning orange juice, vitamin C works as a powerful antioxidant when used in skincare. It helps reduce inflammation, brightens and tightens skin, and can even improve the appearance of pigmentation when used daily. Look out for it in pretty much anything – cleansers, masks, moisturisers and serums. 2 RETINOL This concentrated element found in vitamin A became hugely popular last year, after being named as one of the most effective anti-ageing ingredients on the market. Whether you’re looking for a serious overhaul or not, it helps promote skin renewal and boosts collagen, which is a huge plus. Apply at night, limiting use to twice a week, and always use a high SPF the day after, as it can…

The greater variety of “good bacteria” species in our guts, the healthier we’re likely to be. But you don’t need to glug probiotic yoghurt drinks or pop pills to get more of the good stuff. When we exercise, as well as getting fitter, a knock-on benefit is that we transport oxygen to our tissues more efficiently, and that improves the presence, activity and clustering of our good bacteria. Healthy guts are linked to a lower risk of everything from obesity and type 2 diabetes, to cancer and depression, so get your gym kit on!…

1 THE HOUSE OF EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE PLEASE DON’T STARE! MON-WED 18-20 MARCH, 10/10.15PM, CHANNEL 5 Nine people who constantly have people staring at them because they look different live together for 10 days. From Rowdy, 31, who has no legs, to primordial dwarf Kristin, 36, and 29-year-old Aly, who is almost 7ft, they all want to prove that there is no “normal”. Ted Parrotman wants to “look like a parrot”, even down to his eyeballs – and he’s had his ears cut off because “parrots only have little holes”.

What is The Bay about? It’s about an English coastal town that’s become a bit neglected. It’s incredibly beautiful and you can see the Lake District across the water, but when you move back from the sea you start to see families that are really struggling. The main plot focuses on a family whose twins have gone missing and DS Lisa Armstrong is assigned to help them. She’s a bit of a party girl? When we first meet Lisa, she’s embarking on a big night out with her girlfriends. She has a fun, drunken night and then she turns up for work the next morning a little bit worse for wear. She’s launched into the centre of a new case, but her drunken actions from the…

‘LAUREN’S BORED AND IS ALWAYS LOOKING FOR HER NEXT DRAMA FIX’ She’s the girlfriend who’s haunted him ever since their turbulent 10-year romance came to a bitter end in 2011, when Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright called-off their engagement after accusing each other of cheating. While Mark, 32, has gone on to find happiness with wife Michelle Keegan, Lauren, also 32, has continued to bear the brunt of car-crash relationships – ending her last romance with jailbird Joey Morrison last year and repeatedly telling fans she’s desperate to settle down. After Lauren – who last week confirmed she was still friends with Joey and was spotted enjoying a night out with the criminal and mutual pals – opened up about her sex life with The Bachelor host last week, claiming…

It had been five years in the making following her 2014 engagement – and last week Billie Faiers finally tied the knot with Greg Shepherd at an exotic Maldives resort. But the celebration was quickly overshadowed by reports of trouble in paradise amid claims that the wedding party had caused “carnage”, upsetting other holidaymakers who made formal complaints about “drunken yobs” and “intimidating and raucous behaviour”. FAMILY DRAMA As Billie flew out to the five-star hotel with family and friends for her big day, there were reports that her stepdad, Dave Chatwood, was too drunk to board the plane, allegedly delaying the flight, with onlookers later claiming that “guests hurled abuse and stole wine off the air stewards’ trolley.” There were even allegations that Greg had called another holidaymaker a…

The chilling extent of the UK’s growing knife crime problem was highlighted earlier this month, when two gifted students were killed during broad daylight in seemingly random attacks. Jodie Chesney, 17, was sitting on a park bench in east London with her friends two weeks ago when a stranger approached from behind and stabbed her in the back. It’s thought to have been a case of mistaken identity, or possibly as part of a gang initiation. Jodie, a keen scout, died just over an hour after paramedics were called to the scene. Two arrests have been made and Jodie’s devastated family paid tribute to their daughter, with her father saying, “She was the nicest person any of us know. Everything about her was about being kind and good and thoughtful.”…

She’s a mum of two after welcoming daughter Polly in April 2017 with ex Bradley Wright, and a son with her new man, whose identity she has kept under wraps, six months ago. And former TOWIE star Amy Childs, 28, tells Closer she thinks her former co-star and close pal Gemma Collins will be a dab hand at motherhood. Speaking to Closer at The Baby Show to launch her new range with Obaby, Amy says, “Me and Gemma were talking in Nando’s a few weeks ago about babies, and having such a laugh. She was with Arg too, so I said, ‘Gem, when’s the baby then?’ I told her all about my amazing midwife Betty, who works around Essex, and she said she wants to snap her up too when…

‘I lost all my libido… I just wanted the bed to myself ’ She was an icon of the ’90s Britpop scene, famed for her rock ’n’ roll lifestyle. But a lot has changed for Meg Mathews over the past two decades: her 1997 marriage to Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher, with whom she has 19-year-old daughter Anaïs, fell apart after just four years, while her hard-partying ways have been traded in for a more relaxed pace of life. And while Meg now prefers to keep her love life out of the spotlight, she hints at having someone special by her side. When Closer asks what she’s looking for in a man, she says, laughing, “You don’t know that I’m not seeing someone,” before adding cryptically, “I can’t really talk about…

‘I ATE FIVE MEALS A DAY AND WENT TO THE GYM SIX TIMES A WEEK’ Jasmin Hallett used to be overweight and unhappy, but now she is proud of her bulging muscles and six-pack after transforming her body with diet and exercise. Three years ago, Jasmine, 29, weighed 19st 7lbs, but after losing 9st, she began entering bodybuilding competitions. But while Jasmine maintains she’s now healthier than ever, online trolls have devastatingly branded her “ugly” and “disgusting”. Jasmin, from Plymouth, Devon, says, “Before, I couldn’t even walk up the stairs without getting out of breath. Now, I’m in the best shape of my life, so I was gutted when I saw what people were saying about me. “Someone had stolen photos from my Instagram page and put them in a…

They got married in a lavish wedding in September 2018 – and Olivia Buckland tells Closer her husband Alex Bowen is already feeling broodier than ever. The couple fell in love during their time on Love Island in 2016 – and the honeymoon period hasn’t worn off. “If Alex got his own way, we’d probably have a baby right now!” laughs Olivia, 25 who shares pug Winnie and French bulldog Reggie with Alex, 26. “We’re both still so young and busy with work that our furry babies are enough for now, but they are definitely in our future.” CRIPPLING ANXIETY Speaking at the Carter Beauty UK launch, Olivia, who recently admitted she’d like to patch things up with former co-star Cara De La Hoyde after the pair fell out over…

He’s managed to transform his career from the British small screen to Hollywood blockbusters, and Simon Pegg recently shocked fans with his incredible body makeover. The British actor looked almost unrecognisable as he showcased his newly lean physique and defined six-pack for his upcoming role in thriller Inheritance. The 49-year-old worked with personal trainer Nick Lower for six months to get in shape for the film role – which required him to be incredibly slender. Posting a photo of the results on Twitter, trainer Nick wrote, “The brief for this role was lean, VERY lean. It required a specific body shape and look.” Nick added that the pair did a combination of strength training with circuits and core work, as well as 60km runs every week. Simon also shared the…

hen Lorin LaFave thinks back to the day she heard her son Breck had been murdered by a teenager who had groomed him online, all she remembers is screaming into the phone. In the five years since his death, she’s tirelessly travelled the length and breadth of the country to raise awareness of online grooming in her drive to make sure another mother doesn’t suffer like she has. She’s desperate to highlight the fact that online grooming is more than just men preying on young girls, and that it could happen to anyone. After all, Daynes was a baby-faced teenager. Despite still being grief- stricken, Lorin is slowly finding light at the end of a very bleak tunnel. Six months ago, she met a new man, David, 59 – surprisingly,…

I’m usually out during the day, so I’ll grab an avocado, tuna, mayo, tomato and pesto sandwich from Joe & The Juice, or I’ll have a jacket potato if I’m at home. For dinner, I’ll eat white fish and green vegetables. I snack on fruit and yoghurt with meringue, as it’s not that calorific. Is there anything you refuse…

LOVE MINDFULNESS CAN BOOST YOUR RELATIONSHIP Almost one in five couples in the UK argues regularly, but using easy mindfulness techniques can help, as Emma explains Think about the last time you listened to your partner, and I mean really listened – not while looking at your phone, or thinking about what’s for tea. Mindfulness teaches you to pay full attention, and when you both actively listen, you can sort niggles before they become full-blown problems. Scans show that mindfulness alters the way our brains work, in particular the area responsible for fighting, so conflict is less likely. Couples who practise together show more empathy and understand each other on a deeper level, which sustains life-long bonds. You can practise it anywhere, any time. Try apps like Headspace or Calm…

How does it feel to be the new team captain? I’ve actually been a guest on every single series, so it doesn’t feel like a new job because I already feel a part of it. I know all the crew and, of course, I’m mates with Keith [Lemon] and I’ve known Holly [Willoughby] for years. Are your family excited about it?
