Closer Issue 858의 목차

At the age of 51, Davina McCall looks so amazing, she’s a poster girl for fitness – exuding strength and confidence. Now she’s helping others to achieve their goals by launching a special online platform with loads of advice, exercises and delicious recipes – and Closer readers can try it for free for a whole month! Davina’s not the only inspiring 50-something in this week’s issue. On page 28 we look at how Courteney, Jen and Lisa are still best Friends after 25 years (and all look frankly amazing in their fifties!). And on page 36 we speak to Tracey Britten, who became the world’s oldest mum of quads when she gave birth at 50. They used to say life begins at 40, but now it seems it can take…

They’re one of the most famous couples in the world, and have amassed a joint fortune of almost £800m, thanks to their lucrative enterprises as Brand Beckham. But as Victoria, 45, and David, 44, gear up to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary next week, insiders say the fashion designer is worried about their relationship being thrust into the spotlight once again, amid a spate of speculation that their marriage is on the rocks. A source says, “Vic’s really feeling the pressure to prove their happiness to the critics, but she’s panicking about getting the balance right. Going overboard might look they’re trying to cover up something, while not doing enough could lead some to assume their lack of effort is a reflection on the state of their marriage.” ROMANTIC GESTURE…

She was said to have been left furious by news that former escort Helen Woods was planning to discuss her 2011 affair with her footballer husband Wayne Rooney in her upcoming tell-all book A Man’s World. And insiders say that, with the book due for publication this week, Coleen Rooney has spent the past few weeks dreading the further negative publicity Helen’s new revelations could draw. ALLEGED THREESOME A source says, “Coleen has been dreading this moment for months, and is feeling really on edge. She’s aware of some of the new bombshells, and she feels sick that she has to keep reliving this nightmare over and over again. Her priority is protecting her young sons – she doesn’t want them to reach an age where these stories keep reappearing…

She’s made no secret of her desire to find the right man and start a family – revealing ahead of her new stint on Celebs Go Dating, “I want a good dad to my kids and a husband.” But after she was spotted looking glammed-up in full hair and make-up and a dress showcasing her surgically-enhanced bust, pals have warned Lauren Goodger to try to embrace her natural self. A source reveals, “Lauren is very conscious of how she looks and has been having full hair and make-up for Celebs Go Dating. Some of her friends have suggested playing it down a bit and trying to embrace a more natural look. They think that if she wants to find a really nice guy to settle down with, she shouldn’t go…

Last year’s star, Sam Bird, faced various trials and tribulations that resulted in him walking out of the villa after not being allowed to couple up with his then-love interest Georgia Steel – before they explosively split weeks later. Sam, 26, says, “Dating shows are always popular – everyone seems to be fascinated by love and dating. People can relate to it and they’ll watch how the Islanders go about things and learn lessons from it. “I do think Joe seemed to be a little controlling of Lucie. Hopefully people will see that, and see the public’s reaction, and try not to do that in their own relationships. So in that way, watching negative scenarios on the show can teach us lessons. “I went on to the show last year…

It was the period drama that had the nation captivated for more than half a decade. But after its TV finale three years ago, superfans went into mourning, claiming that Sunday nights would never be the same again. Now, however, there’s cause for celebration, with the Downton Abbey film set for release in mid-September. Set in 1927, the eagerly-awaited movie picks up about a year after the series’ conclusion, which screened on Christmas Day 2015, following 52 episodes and six series. A combined audience of 11m people tuned in to see Lady Edith finally tie the knot, Lady Mary expecting her second child, and Anna and Bates welcoming their first baby. So, what can you expect from the film’s plotline? According to creator Julian Fellowes, it’s about “people pushing the…

He’d be the first to admit that he’s been unlucky in love, having had several failed romances on Made In Chelsea and a string of unsuccessful dates during his two appearances on Celebs Go Dating. But now it finally looks as though Sam Thompson has met the woman for him in former Love Island star Zara McDermott. And he tells Closer that he’s very conscious not to mess it up. Sam, 26, says, “We’ve been on a few dates – I don’t want to say too much and curse it. It’s been a few weeks now, but we’re not exclusive. Everyone in this game rushes everything and there’s no need to. She’s a really lovely girl and incredibly beautiful. I just keep telling myself, ‘Don’t f*** it up!’” REINING IT…

1 A CLASSIC RED LIP IS ALWAYS A WINNER… MAC Ruby Woo is my ultimate lipstick – I’ve used it for years and years! It’s a really timeless shade of red, and stays on all day without smudging. 2 I JUST USE SOAP AND WATER FOR MY BASIC SKIN ROUTINE… I do occasionally treat my skin to a face mask, though. My favourite one is Elemis’ Veggie Mask – it’s super hydrating. 3 I ALWAYS GET MY NAILS DONE FOR EVENTS OR HOLIDAYS… but if I’m not doing anything significant, I’ll paint them myself. I always pick a nude shade so it goes with everything. My current go-to is OPI Half Past Nude. 4 THE FENTY HIGHLIGHTER IS THE BEST FOR GIVING MY SKIN A DEWY FINISH... you get a…

1 Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding one weight in each hand, to your chest, making sure to keep your weights level. 2 Start by kicking your right leg back and dipping your body towards the ground, engaging your bum and thighs to keep your balance, while making sure to keep your weights lifted high up and to your chest. 3 Bring your right leg back to a standing position, lift your right weight up to the sky in a punching motion, then bring it back to your chest, repeat this punching motion on your left-hand side. Then, switch sides, kicking your left leg back into a deep lunge, keeping your right leg bent making sure you are engaging your core. 4 To get your heart rate up, try…

There’s been a drop in male blood donors, though women are apparently more likely to respond to appeals. Still, we need to encourage everyone to donate. OUTDATED RESTRICTIONS A couple of things may be putting men off, like tattoos. One in five Brits now has one, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give blood – you just need to wait four months. The same is true of piercings. The rules for gay men have changed, and they can now donate if they haven’t had unprotected sex with another man for three months. All donated blood is checked to ensure it’s safe, and a needle is never used twice, so many of the restrictions that put people off are outdated. I hope they change. Men make better donors because they have…

LOOK FOR FREE TESTS “Under-16s, over-65s and some people who are claiming benefits or on a low income are entitled to free eye tests,” Daniel says. “If you work on a computer or a mobile screen, your employer may pay towards your eye test and even your glasses, so ask about your company’s policy.” DON’T OVERSPEND “Eye tests can cost as much as £50, but all tests have to meet a minimum standard, so don’t assume that the more you spend, the more you get.” GET A TAKEAWAY PRESCRIPTION “After an eye test, you’re legally entitled to go away with a prescription, but you’re not required to make a purchase. Supermarkets and Boots Opticians have frames starting from around £25.” SHOP ONLINE AT UK STORES ONLY “Look for frames online…

1 STRANGER THINGS THIRD SEASON OF ACE HORROR SMASH THU 4 JULY, NETFLIX Season two of Netflix’s mega sci-fi hit dropped to widespread hysteria back in Oct 2017, because of just how darn good it was. The hype has been building ever since season three was confirmed and while it’s been a long time coming, 4 July (Independence Day in the States) is where it’s at, and we CANNOT WAIT. The Stranger Things kids are starting to grow up, but the terrors of the Upside Down haven’t gone away… Maya Thurman-Hawke (yep, offspring of Uma / Ethan) has joined the cast – and all the original faves are back on board. DID YOU KNOW? Creators The Duffer Brothers wanted to deliver “something bigger and better” than the 2017 series. And…

She recently revealed how she was longing for more children, saying she’s open to using a sperm donor to give her two-year-old son Bear a sibling, as the thought of having only one child is “unimaginable” to her. And pals reveal that Cheryl – who turns 36 this week – is weighing up all her options, as she’d like her family to be complete before she’s 40. A source says, “Turning 36 has got her thinking she needs to make a decision about baby number two. She doesn’t want the age gap between Bear and his sibling to be too big, and she’d love to have a couple more kids before she’s 40.” SURROGACY And while Cheryl, who shares Bear with ex Liam Payne, has said that she adores motherhood,…

TWO WEEKS AFTER THE REBECCA LOOS SCANDAL BROKE “Here we can see that Posh is trying to look as confident as possible, while behind her David appears to be using her as a human shield from the cameras.” AFTER DAVID ANNOUNCED HIS MIAMI MOVE “The royal wedding saw an awkward moment, with David striding out, studying the crowd, while Posh holds out a hand, signalling a need for unity.” WEEKS AFTER DENYING DIVORCE RUMOURS “In comparison to the earlier pictures, Posh has gone from the position of strength to looking needy, her arms out like a child asking to be hugged.”…

❛SHE’S TOLD HIM HE CAN BE FRIENDLY, BUT NO PARTYING WITH OTHER WOMEN❜ They confirmed their volatile on/off relationship was once again back on earlier this month with a romantic trip to Italy. And Gemma Collins and James “Arg” Argent looked blissfully happy as they enjoyed a night out during a break to Mallorca last week – with pals revealing that, this time, Gemma has laid down strict rules to keep their notoriously fiery romance on track. COMPLIMENTS A source reveals, “Gemma told friends that she would only rekindle things with Arg if he agreed to some strict terms – with the top priority being making her feel special. She told him she expects him to constantly compliment her, make her feel reassured, stay in regular contact when they are…

She’s built an empire around her famous hourglass figure, and last week Kim Kardashian flaunted her impossibly tiny waist in LA – leading fans to label her “unnatural” and “grossly out of proportion” as she showcased her extreme curves in a skintight look. And despite boasting about achieving a 24-inch waist last year, pals say the reality star is considering having two ribs removed to shed another two inches off her midsection, after being told it’s “physically impossible” to achieve a 22-inch waist naturally. PUSHING BOUNDARIES A source says, “Kim’s obsessed with having the world’s most extreme curves and is constantly pushing boundaries when it comes to her body, which she knows is her biggest and most valuable asset. “She wants to emulate her biggest idol, ’50s pin-up Betty Brosmer,…

Single mum of two Laura, 34, lives in London and works in retail. She says, “I got married when I was only 20 to my husband Piers, now 46. We’d been together four years by the time we married, and it was all very romantic at the start. But by the time I was 28, it was becoming stale. I was too young to have made such a huge commitment, and didn’t really fancy him anymore. But I still loved him and wanted to try to make it work. “We tried various things to try to spice up our sex life, including using sex toys. Then I heard about an upmarket swinging party through friends and suggested we try that. We went three times, but while I really enjoyed it,…

In just three weeks, we’ve seen the Islanders make a multitude of romantic mistakes, from Molly-Mae Hague “keeping her options open” to hyper-sexual Maura Higgins “laying it on Factor 50 thick” (receiving 800 complaints from Ofcom in the process), as well as Anton Danyluk constantly being rejected or “pied”, and Yewande Biala refusing to be “a melt” (being needy and expressing her feelings). But it was Joe Garrett who paid the ultimate price for his behaviour last week when viewers voted to evict him from the show. Over 1,200 people complained to Ofcom about his “controlling” treatment of girlfriend Lucie Donlan, when he told her she needed to make friends with the female contestants and not just spend time with the guys. Joe has strongly denied the accusations and refused…

He knows all too well about being embroiled in negative dating scenarios, having faced a backlash over his treatment of some of the girls in the villa last year. But Adam Collard says the drama is vital to the show. The 23-year-old says, “We do see the worst sides of dating on Love Island , but that’s what makes the show so watchable. I completely ‘got’ that entertainment is what the show wants and that means drama. “I knew that changing my mind, keeping my cards close to my chest and game-playing would make a good show. I was essentially playing puppeteer in there. I split up from people and caused a stir, but that’s what people want to see. “People don’t want to see fairy-tale endings all the time,…

❛SHE’S ON A MISSION TO TAKE TIME FOR SELF-CARE – AND TO DAMNED WELL ENJOY HERSELF!❜ While she’s beloved for her bubbly, down-to-earth persona, she’s notoriously coy about her personal life, and is well-known for shying away from the spotlight. But following the shock announcement of her marriage split from charity boss Simon Konecki, 45, in April, Adele has been snapped enjoying a string of nights out, and last week was seen letting her hair down at the Spice Girls concert – dancing and singing along to her childhood idols, and posing with the band backstage. SINGLE LIFE A source says, “Adele’s been embracing her newly single life and having more fun again – making a conscious effort to focus on herself and her happiness after a tough few months.”…

It’s been a year since the world was gripped by the traumatic ordeal of the Thai cave boys – the Wild Boars football team who became trapped in Thailand’s Tham Luang cave network for 18 days after heavy monsoon rainfall hit the area. Netflix are set to release a gripping new drama later this year, which will tell the story of what the youngsters went through – and they are set to receive more than £70,000 each from their lucrative deal with the streaming service. The 12 boys, then aged between 11 and 16, became trapped with their coach as they explored the twisting cave – which stretches over 10km – after football practice. The rising waters forced them further into the cave, where they were eventually found on a…

1 FILMING LITERALLY DIVIDED THE CAST The downstairs scenes were filmed at Ealing Studios, 60 miles away from Highclere Castle, where an entire floor of servants’ quarters were built. Insiders say this contributed to an unintentional “divide” between those playing upstairs characters at Highclere, and the downstairs cast in Ealing. 2 MASCARA WAS BANNED ON SET Downton’s female cast had their make-up applied strategically to maintain their Edwardian complexions. “No mascara is allowed at all on set,” said Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary. “Historically, women wouldn’t have been introduced to those kinds of products then.” 3 THE DOWAGER’S DRESS TOOK OVER FIVE DAYS TO FIX Many of Downton’s 1920s frocks were vintage originals (costing as much as £1,000 each) and took a minimum of five days each to restore.…

‘My ideal guy is a Pierce Brosnan type!’ Her name is synonymous with Simon Cowell’s. The pair had an on/off relationship for 20 years, and have remained great friends ever since. And now Sinitta says they’ll always be close, even though others may find it odd that the pair are still friendly. Sinitta, 55, started dating Simon, 59, in the ’80s, when he managed her pop career. The couple subsequently split up and reconciled multiple times. And Sinitta insists that she and Simon are more like family now than exes, saying, “It’s not like Simon and I were just friends and then dated for a couple of years. We’ve known each other since we were kids, so if you put it in that context, I’ve known Simon since I was…

‘I vomited wine over Joe’s walls. He must have liked me to go out with me again’ ‘BLENDED FAMILIES WORK AS WELL AS TRADITIONAL ONES’ “We do worry about our children, because they’re not from a ‘normal’, ‘2.4 kid’ family. So Joe and I have been really conscious not to move too fast, and it was only when the kids seemed fully on-board that we thought, ‘OK, we can do this’. It doesn’t mean everything is blimmin’ fantastic all the time, but the kids are happy, we’re happy, and that’s exactly where we want to be. We want to be as much of a blended family as we can, and I think it’s working.” ‘DON’T DRINK TOO MUCH ON THE FIRST DATE!’ “I was really nervous ahead of my first…

She’s become the poster girl for fitness ever since she released her first workout DVD in 2007. Since then, Davina McCall has inspired millions of women to get up off the sofa and embrace exercise and healthy eating. Now, the 51-year-old TV presenter and fitness fanatic – who looks as toned as someone half her age – has launched a new online fitness and lifestyle programme called Own Your Goals, for those wanting to emulate her healthy lifestyle. Davina tells Closer , “I’m very excited to be launching my new platform – it’s been my passion project for two years. Own Your Goals is essentially a journey to long-term health and fitness. You’ll find everything you need to kick-start a healthy eating plan and get started on your workouts, plus…

INSIDE JENNY’S FRIDGE • Eggs • Houmous • Blueberries • Natural yoghurt • Coconut water • Manchego cheese • Cheddar cheese • Kefir • Chicken thighs • Harissa paste • Steak mince • Avocado • Cooked ham • Sourdough bread • Sugarsnaps • Tomato • Spinach • Yoghurts • Kale • Broccoli • Chocolate eclairs • Carrots • Apple juice • Pineapple • Ginger VERDICT NUTRITIONIST JULIETTE KELLOW SAYS, “Although some people find sourdough bread is a better alternative to regular bread to prevent bloating, there’s no evidence to back this up. But if it works for Jenny, there’s no reason not to stick to it. Her diet is quite high in saturated fat – such as bacon and cheese – which can increase blood cholesterol levels, so she may…

Whether we’re standing or sitting impacts how things taste to us. Researchers looked at how the ‘vestibular sense’, which is responsible for balance, posture and spatial awareness, impacts the ‘gustatory sensory system’, which is important for taste and flavour. Standing up for even a few minutes causes stress, which mutes our taste buds, so normally tasty foods aren’t as nice. On the flipside, you notice the unpleasant flavours less when standing too, so if your kids - or you - have to take yucky medicine, stand up!…

£18 for five pairs of knickers from Tezenis. It’s my go-to underwear shop when I’m in London. £25 for two sports bras from Marks & Spencer. £34 on a 30-minute massage at a walk-in place – it was great. £118 on a new Samsonite suitcase to travel to the UK. £50 on drinks at The London Edition Hotel. I had a glass of red wine and my husband had two cocktails. £15 on a pair of sunglasses from Cancer Council, an Australian charity. • Neighbours airs weekdays at 1.45pm and 5.30pm on Channel 5…

Why did you want to do this show? I’m very arty – and I wanted to meet Kirstie Allsopp! Her house [where some of the filming took place] was phenomenal! Except that her husband is into taxidermy, so the walls are covered with heads of dead animals. I found it a bit creepy. But she does have a field of sheep outside, and it’s so idyllic… What have you done with the beautiful vase you made? It’s gone in the bin. I chucked it away! [Laughs]. What about the tray you upcycled from an old box? That collapsed – I’m using it to put letters in now. The idea was to store jewellery in it, but it wasn’t big enough... You go head-to-head with Anneka Rice in your episode. Funnily…

They’ve both been open about their battles to be body confident, but last week Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts looked incredible in bikinis during a holiday to Sardinia. In May, mum-of-two Kimberley, 37 – who lost 3st after giving birth to her eldest son Bobby, now three – admitted, “I’m not a naturally skinny person, so it does take a bit of effort.” Meanwhile, Nicola, 33 – who previously admitted she felt like the “ugly one” in Girls Aloud – revealed she’s now “proud of my size 6 figure, it’s my natural shape”, adding that she “never works out”. Insiders say the pair – who were snapped relaxing on holiday – have been toning up for summer with the help of their pal Cheryl and her trainer, Tracy Anderson. A…

AFTER DAVID SAID THAT MARRIAGE WAS “DIFFICULT” “Sadly, those signals of shared joy from the earlier days are gone, their facial expressions seeming much more downcast. Their eyes are hidden from the camera via the classic A-list cut-off gesture of looking down, and there are no displays of affection here. What few PDAs occur between them now happen mostly during family moments. Their marriage now sees them pose as a team unit, rather than a loved-up couple.”…

She’s made no secret of her desperation for another child, previously saying, “I still want more – even though I’ve got five kids”. And earlier this year, Jordan revealed she even had plans to adopt an orphan from Nigeria. But last week, speculation was mounting that her dreams of baby number six were set to become a reality following a string of events that hinted at a pregnancy. EMPTY NEST SYNDROME She posted a cryptic comment on Instagram alongside a loved-up picture with her boyfriend Kris Boyson, which read, “If only people knew what we know.” Fans were quick to comment underneath, asking if she was pregnant. The mum-of-five – who underwent a third face lift, bum lift and liposuction last month – was then snapped in public holding a…

Psychological therapist Emma Kenny warns swinging isn't for everyone. She says, “You have to be careful that one of you isn’t more interested than the other – it’s a recipe for disaster if one partner does it just to keep the other one happy and the relationship going. "For some people who are able to disconnect sex from love, it really can work. The key is communication and setting out boundaries and checking back that you’re both still happy with what you originally agreed to. Always practise safe sex. And if one of you decides it’s no longer right for them, then stop.”…

Kendall Rae Knight was the first to be booted from the villa last year, when Adam Collard dumped her for Rosie Williams after she played it too cool. Kendall, 27, says, “I went into the villa looking for love – I was 26, I’d been engaged and I thought I knew everything about love. But it didn’t go how I thought it would and I realised I had a lot to learn. The Islanders are all different personalities, all different ages and at different stages of life so there are clashes. Dating dramas happen all the time – it’s entertaining for viewers and you can learn from them. Like Yewande, I’m not that full-on when it comes to love, and I had to pay that price. It helped me learn…

Commercial diver Tim Acton, 39, from Essex, works overseas repairing gas and oil rigs. He tells Closer , “Along with the rest of the world, I watched the TV news reports as the rescue attempt was underway. And when I discovered that the retired Navy SEALs team had been pulled in to help with the rescue efforts in the Tham Luang caves, I knew I wanted to help, too. It was an incredibly complicated mission, which needed as much expertise as possible. I knew someone in the team and when he knew I was interested, he put my name forward to help. DANGEROUS “Thailand had been my home for 16 years – it’s where I met my wife, Tuk, 40, so it has a special place in my heart. Plus…

❛I’VE NEVER LEFT THE HOUSE ON MY OWN WITH ALL THE BABIES❜ Each day, on just a couple of hours sleep, Tracey Britten does twenty nappy changes and goes through eight outfits and twenty bottles of formula to keep her four eight-month-old babies happy. The 51-year-old – who already has three grown-up children – became the oldest mother of quadruplets in the UK after funding her £7,000 IVF with money she inherited from her late mum. Tracey – who lives in North London with her husband, roofer Stephen, 40 – says, “It can be chaos with four babies. One of them is always awake, so I never really get more than two hours sleep a night – and at the moment they’re teething, so it’s even worse. “I rarely leave…

CHERYL: When Cheryl was rumoured to be replacing her at Judges’ Houses in 2017, Sinitta said, “She needs to stay in her lane a little bit. I love you, Chez, but don’t even go there – not that I’m bothered.” She later expressed her fury when Cheryl did end up on the show, saying, “Simon promised me the job for life, and said he didn’t ever want to do it with anyone else.” DANNII MINOGUE: In 2012, it emerged that Dannii Minogue had enjoyed a fling with Simon Cowell – and Sinitta saw red. She said, “I really liked Dannii Minogue when she was on the show, but she killed our friendship. She slept with Simon, and I was too jealous. We could’ve been very close, but the green-eyed monster…

WARM UP 1 Start your workout by loosening up all of your joints. Rotate your arms in a windmill motion to get your shoulders moving. Then move to your back, rotating your torso back and forth, then rotate each ankle clockwise and anti-clockwise. 2 Place your feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart, jump your weight from one foot to the other, kicking your other foot towards your bum in a bunny hop motion. This will stretch the front of your quads ready for your workout. 3 Sitting back into a straight squat position, move all of your weight to your right-hand side. This should be a fluid motion as you transfer your weight from one side to the other, with your arms out in front, feeling the stretch in the…

Try these swaps if you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet: MEAT, CHICKEN AND FISH Replace these with Quorn, tofu, meat-free mince or other plant-based alternatives such as veggie burgers, fillets or steaks. MILK, CHEESE AND YOGHURT If you don’t do dairy, opt for plant-based alternatives such as soya or almond milk or yoghurt (make sure they’re unsweetened and fortified with calcium and vitamin B12). There are plenty of vegan cheeses to choose from, too. EGGS Replace eggs with beans such as kidney, borlotti or black eye beans. Chick peas and lentils are also great choices.…

How much do you spend per week? Around £200 for myself, my daughters Connie, 17, and Pollyanna, eight, and my partner Martin. I’ll do an online order, then go to a few local places. Describe your daily diet… I’ll have a juice as I’m dashing out the door – usually kale, spinach, ginger and pineapple. Lunch tends to be poached eggs, cheese, chili, avocado and harissa, using good fats like olive oil as a dressing, and then I’ll add crispy bacon. For dinner, I’m a big fan of the slow cooker.

RELATIONSHIPS DON’T SPY ON YOUR PARTNER’S PHONE Snooping on someone’s mobile isn’t necessarily a deal-breaker, according to new research – but Emma says it’s still not OK A university study has shown that just over half of relationships survive phone prying – and those that do end are often already in trouble.
