Like Agatha (WAGatha) Christie’s brilliant Belgian detective, Inspector Poirot (PoiRoo), Coleen Rooney summoned the world to the library (Twitter), pointed at Rebekah Vardy and shouted ‘J’accuse!!’. The WAGS became locked into a feud over whether Rebekah had betrayed Coleen, while other celebs including Danielle Lloyd and Helen Wood (who infamously slept with Wayne) waded into the verbal punch-up. You may admire Coleen for her investigative skills and patience as she waited months to “out” her frenemy. But did she mean to create QUITE such a bombshell? We’re sure she’d hate that trolls have attacked Rebekah – with one even wishing her unborn child dead. The WAGS seem to have everything, so why has it turned this toxic? Don’t miss our report on p6, which lifts the lid on the ugly…

• Former WAG Lizzie Cundy reveals ‘paranoia and jealousy’ led suspicious Coleen Rooney to become ‘Wagatha Christie’ • Footballers’ power struggles cause toxic atmosphere among the WAGs • ‘Obsession’ with fame, money and power leads to tension and trust issues A sensational “war of the WAGs” erupted last week when Coleen Rooney dramatically pointed the finger at Rebekah Vardy amid allegations of someone betraying her by selling stories to the press. Her Twitter post – which detailed how she had investigated her suspicions by muting all of her private Instagram followers except Rebekah’s account – went viral, creating headlines around the world and leading her to be dubbed “Wagatha Christie” in reference to the crime writer famed for her detective plot lines. Heavily-pregnant Rebekah, who was on holiday in Dubai…

She’s been at the centre of speculation that she’s been struck by the infamous Strictly curse, with fans commenting on the “spark” between her and partner AJ Pritchard after they were spotted looking close during rehearsals and on the dance floor. And, while Saffron Barker insists she and AJ – who’s currently in a relationship with dancer Abbie Quinnen – are “just friends”, she admits they are growing closer every day. Saffron tells Closer, “I’ll be friends with AJ forever. You’re spending all day, every day, with this person, and you get comfortable very quickly. You learn each other’s habits that only someone you’ve known for years would know. I go through so many emotions every day – whether it’s happy, emotional, sad or frustrated – and AJ has to…

WEIGHT... “I don’t weigh myself – I don’t even have scales. I train every day. I do yoga every morning, and that’s not to look good – that’s to feel good.” STRICTLY... “I’ll do it, definitely. I’ll do anything for a pay cheque!” REUNITING WITH RYAN... “In my mind, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. So this time, I’m finally dating a man who has a job, his own money, and is very happy to stay out of the media.”…

A spokesperson for the Mayor of London told Closer , “Sadiq has declared a climate emergency in London and totally agrees with the protestors’ view that the government needs to stop ignoring the climate emergency and immediately deliver meaningful action. He strongly supports the democratic right to peaceful and lawful protest and has backed the climate strikes over recent weeks and months. However, he will not support illegal action that causes major disruption to Londoners or risks public safety. Such action is counter-productive to this crucial cause and puts further pressure on our already overstretched police force who need to be focused on tackling violent crime.”…

Fans were thrilled in July when she announced she was expecting her first child at 44, posting a photo of her blossoming bump on Instagram. And last week, Natalie Imbruglia revealed she’d welcomed her son, named Max Valentine, posting an adorable photo of the newborn’s hand alongside the caption, “Welcome to the world... Max Valentine Imbruglia. My heart is bursting #myboy.” Opening up about her journey to motherhood, Natalie previously revealed that she had used IVF and a sperm donor, telling fans, “I’m expecting my first child this Autumn. For those of you that know me, this has been something I have wanted for a very long time and I’m blessed that this is possible with the help of IVF and a sperm donor – I won’t be saying anything…

Closer’s psychological therapist Emma Kenny says, “The fact that Sabrina uses these reborn dolls shows that the counselling she had after the loss of her son, Jamie, hasn’t worked for her and her grief is still there. “The pain has been so intense and unbearable that she deals with it by having these dolls, which she treats as her own children. The dolls are the baby that has never been and she can feel at peace with them, knowing that they will never be taken away or die. She has control now, whereas she couldn’t control what happened to baby Jamie. “She’s not alone in having reborn dolls, and they have been shown to bring a drop in anxiety levels. But dolls should not be used to mask pain and…

It was one of the best-loved TV shows of the 2000s, riddled with scandal and drama. And over the years, it’s been claimed that things were just as eventful behind the scenes, with rumours of cast fallouts, lawsuits and backstabbing. The cast were thrown back into the spotlight last week, when Ricardo Chavira – who played Carlos Solis – slammed co-star Felicity Huffman’s 14-day sentence, handed down by a judge last month for her part in a college admissions cheating scandal, calling it a “slap on the wrist.” In a now deleted post, the actor, 48, condemned her short prison term, tweeting, “White Privilege. And I saw Eight years worth of it, so I know what I’m talking about. Accountability and Responsibility don’t mean s** t to these people.” While…

Lindsey Scanlon has spent £20,000 of her beloved dad’s inheritance money saving the lives of abused French Bulldogs. The mum of four left her job as a teaching assistant to care for the dogs full-time, and since starting her charity, French Bulldog Saviours, she’s rescued over 1,000 dogs. She relies on her own money – as well as donations from the public – to pay for food and vet bills. ❛ MY DAD WAS AN ANIMAL LOVER – I THINK HE’D BE REALLY PROUD OF ME ❜ In the last three years, the RSPCA has seen a shocking 517 per cent increase of French Bulldogs in its kennels. And Lindsey says she expects to take in even more dogs when new laws, which will restrict the amount of time a…

LOST: 6ST 8LBS ‘I feel fitter and healthier’ Mum-of-two Hayley Cook, a development manager from Oxfordshire, lost 6st 8lbs following a diabetes scare. Hayley, 30, says, “I was a healthy size 12 when I met my husband Andy, but after suffering two miscarriages, I turned to food to cope. I’d go through family-sized packs of chocolate and cake and my weight reached just over 16st. I hid how much I was eating and would have muffins and pastries on the way home from work, but still eat dinner and a pudding. I joined Slimming World because I felt my weight was stopping me conceiving. I weighed around 16 stone and was a size 18, but I lost 2st within three months and fell pregnant with my daughter Kaycie. A year…

How much do you spend per week? Usually around £120. I shop online as it saves a lot of time. Taking the kids around the shops [Giovanna is mum to sons Buzz, four, Buddy, three, and Max, one, with her husband, McFly singer Tom] is not the easiest thing! Describe your daily diet… For breakfast, Tom makes delicious smoothies, or I’ll have granola with coconut milk and I’ll add banana and blueberries. Lunch is toast with scrambled eggs or avocado, and for dinner, we’ll often have garlic prawns with courgetti or curry. We all eat at 5pm, which means we get hungry in the evenings, so we’ll have a bit of chocolate. I’ve started making paradise bars, which are healthier versions of Bounty bars. What’s the strangest thing you’ve eaten?…

ALL ABOUT YOU HOW TO STOP BEING A PEOPLE PLEASER If you say yes to everyone and end up stressed and exhausted, Emma advises learning to prioritise yourself Wanting approval is natural, but always people pleasing takes this instinct to an unhealthy level. It makes you vulnerable and at risk of being taken advantage of. Agreeing to everything makes you popular, because who doesn’t like someone who always buys a round or splits the bill? But that can lead to overspending, causing you anxiety and longterm resentment, which is terrible for your mental health. • Learning to assert yourself begins with setting boundaries. Saying yes to a request when you’ve already got enough on your plate means you’re valuing someone else’s needs over your own. Rehearse scenarios in your head…

1 THE BRITISH TRIBE NEXT DOOR A SLICE OF QUALITY TV TUE 22 OCT, 9.15PM, C4 This is a joyful watch, where the endearing Scarlett Moffatt – plus family – spend four weeks living alongside the Himba tribe in Namibia, taking home comforts with them (including their actual house: a replica of it is built in the desert). It’s heart-warming and touching – including scenes where the local women see themselves in a mirror for the first time – and Scarlett battles with body insecurities when she’s asked to try on the traditional dress. Read our chat with Scarlett on page 28. 2 HARRY HILL’S CLUBNITE NEW LATE NIGHT COMEDY SHOW FRI 25 OCT, 11.05PM, C4 “Controlled chaos” is how C4 bosses describe Harry Hill’s new show, recorded in front…

MUST READ One Winter Morning (ISABELLE BROOM) It’s been a year since Genie lost her adoptive mother – and she’s never felt more alone. Then she discovers her birth mother’s identity and the fact she lives in New Zealand, half the world away. Travelling there could be her one chance to meet the woman who gave her up all those years ago. But will she find the answers she has been looking for? Yet another brilliant story from one of our favourite authors. BEST DAY OUT English Heritage’s Halloween Spooktacular Prepare for scares all across the UK this Halloween half-term at a whole host of historical English Heritage locations.

They’ve made no attempt to hide the fact they’ve been feuding for years, with Nadine Coyle confirming once again last month that she hasn’t kept in touch with any of her former bandmates – despite spending a decade together as one of the UK’s most successful pop groups. And after it was announced last week that the ex-Girls Aloud singer, 34, is heading into the jungle for the latest series of I’m A Celeb! , insiders say Cheryl, 36, is nervous over what her former bandmate might divulge. A source says, “Cheryl’s a bit shaken by the news because Nadine has always been brutally honest about her experiences with the band. With Nadine, what you see is what you get, but that’s not necessarily a good thing for Cheryl. She…

‘I thought everyone was out to get me’ In the wake of the story-leaking scandal, as Rebekah Vardy faced a backlash over her spat with Coleen Rooney, the mum of four slammed sick trolls who wished her unborn baby would die. Taking to Instagram last week, as the feud gathered pace, Rebekah – who is seven months pregnant – shared vile messages sent to her by cruel followers, targeting her appearance and her unborn baby. ONLINE TROLLS The first horrific message shared by the star, saw a troll write, “F** k u dirty sly c** t I hope that baby dies within you B*** H.” Another, from a fellow mum, read, ‘Transvestite looking thing that you are. As if anybody believe your bulls** t story. I’m glad you got exposed…

They announced their split earlier this year, insisting they would “remain friends”. However, relations between Neil and Katya Jones have reportedly turned sour, with sources saying the pair have had some tense rows behind the scenes at Strictly. Neil, 37, and Katya, 30 –both professional dancers on the show – reportedly fell out earlier this month when Katya told presenter Claudia Winkleman she was “better than ever” when asked how she was doing. Sources claimed Neil took this as “a dig” at him, even having words with his estranged wife backstage, though she denied her comment was about him. Neil also faced accusations of “laughing” at Katya when she had a fall live on air earlier this month, but publicly denied it later. Neil and Katya ended their six-year marriage…

Extinction Rebellion campaigners descended on London last week in a bid to force the UK government to take action on climate change. The group of 30,000 activists, who hail from Carlisle to Cornwall, have currently occupied eight sites. They plan to stay in the capital for a fortnight, and their protests have already seen fake blood sprayed from a fire engine at the Treasury, flights grounded at London City Airport, campsites set up in Trafalgar Square and activists gluing themselves to trains and flight runways. The group – also protesting in other cities and towns across the country – want the government to declare a climate “emergency”, and to legally commit to reducing carbon emissions to zero by 2025. They say that by 2030, without drastic action, the world will…

• Give up or cut down on meat – it’s the single biggest way to reduce your climate change impact. Beef and pork are the most damaging to the planet. • Fly less. Take staycations rather than holidaying abroad. • Switch to a renewable energy supplier. Spending a little bit extra every month is worth it to power your home without the aid of fossil fuels. • Avoid fast fashion. Charity shops are full of vintage finds. If you’re buying new, look for good quality material, thick stitching, and local manufacturers. • Make use of your wardrobe – clothes and blankets can help you use less energy during the colder months. If you need to turn the heating on, only do so in the room you’re in. • Don’t let…

‘I WANT TO LOSE MORE WEIGHT TO MAKE SURE I’M HEALTHY’ Her battles with her weight have been well- documented but, last week, Chanelle Hayes showcased her incredible body transformation. Posing in a yellow swimsuit while on holiday in Tenerife, after dropping from a size 18 to a size 12-14 following a year of healthy eating and regular exercise, the mum-of-two looked happy and thriving as she strolled down the beach. And opening up to Closer about her slimmer figure, the 31-year-old reality star insists she’s determined to put a decade of yo-yo dieting behind her, vowing to keep the weight off for good this time. She says, “I’ve done every diet under the sun but, this time, it hasn’t been about following an army regime where I’m starving myself…

She jumps up for a hug as she meets Closer for a chat. With hair scraped back, Scarlett Moffatt is all dazzling smiles and bright blue eyes. It’s hard to believe this is the same girl who has endured regular body-shaming from trolls and has admitted being left in tears by some of the hurtful comments aimed at her. But now, after filming a “social experiment” for Channel 4, where the reality TV star and her family spent a month living in the village of the nomadic Himba tribe in Namibia, Scarlett – who confesses she hadn’t looked at her naked body in a mirror for years – says she has learned to feel comfortable in her skin for the first time since she was 18. “I think I’ve changed,…

‘Our relationship is driven by humour’ Earlier this month, the loved-up couple – who married in 2018 – celebrated their wedding anniversary with a second ceremony in London. Now they are back on our screens with the new series of Spencer, Vogue and Wedding Two, and when Closer caught up with model Vogue Williams and Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews for a chat about their successful reality show, they brought their adorable one-year-old son Theo along for cuddles. Here, they reveal their plans to give him siblings, and explain how Spencer became a changed man… How did you know you had found The One in each other? SPENCER: Before we went on [skiing reality show] The Jump [in 2017], we went to a training centre and it was the…

Dora is four years old. She loves to play with humans and dogs, but she doesn’t like living with cats. Dora is obedient, but she needs training on walks. Victor loves human interaction and can live with children over eight years old. While he doesn’t like living with other dogs, he gets on well with cats. Three-year-old Dylan is boisterous and playful, so he will benefit from living with an older dog to learn from. He’s extremely sociable and affectionate with humans. While four-year-old Beau enjoys human attention, she likes being in her own space, too. Beau is happy around children, but she can be protective over her toys.…

It might seem silly to quibble over whether parents say “front bum” or “vulva”, but when children have pain or discomfort and they can’t explain it, that’s dangerous. The fact that words like “vagina” are considered taboo in 2019 is ridiculous. SPEAK UP TO YOUR GP I have patients who use these euphemisms, and it’s often because they don’t know what word they’re allowed to use. As soon as I’ve said “vagina” or “vulva”, they feel they can, so they lose the embarrassment. We should normalise these words, not make them seem naughty, because when you imply there’s something shameful about a body part, it doesn’t get discussed. You should be able to say “vulva” as easily as you say “knee”. IT’S JUST A BODY PART Boys call their penis…

LOOK AFTER YOUR CONTENTS “If you turned your home upside down, anything that fell out would be covered by contents insurance. The rest would be buildings insurance – from walls and windows to carpets,” says Kara. “Renters need contents insurance – if your place was hit by a flood or fire, and you had to replace everything, you’d be shocked by the cost. Good policies allow you to claim up to £50,000.” Take photos of valuable items, like jewellery, to prove they exist if you need to claim. KEEP YOUR INCOME SAFE “Every working adult, particularly self-employed ones, should have income protection insurance that will pay out if they’re unable to work due to injury or serious illness,” says Kara. “The younger you are when you take it out, the…

What is The Accident about? It’s set in the Welsh Valleys – in an already quite miserable small community. One day, it’s subjected to an atrocious disaster which affects everyone. This is a story of people struggling to come together to find answers. Grief manifests itself in many different ways. Your character, Polly, speaks with a Welsh accent… I didn’t do any research at all for this role, apart from the work I had to do on the Welsh accent. It was really challenging – awful! Just to give an indication of how long it took me to master it, I had my Christmas dinner last year speaking in a Welsh accent – but we didn’t start filming until April or May of this year. Did you have a dialect…

THIS WEEK’S CELEB STAR SIGN LIBRA 23 SEP-22 OCT It’s win-win for you now after a slightly up and down few weeks. You should be feeling better about yourself, and if you’re not, you soon will be.

‘You don’t know what life will throw at you’ She endured heartache when her ex-husband George Kay was tragically found dead in July after a suspected cocaine overdose but, opening up last week, Kerry Katona insists she’s striving to stay positive. And the star, who has lived a troubled life – including living in foster homes as a child, a battle with cocaine addiction and suffering with bipolar disorder – says she feels grateful for the good things that have come her way. She says, “I’m very well. Life is life, whether you’re famous or not. You don’t know what’s round the corner. You don’t know what’s going to get thrown at you.” The former Atomic Kitten singer, who has been married three times, adds, “I’m glad I was given…

Eco-blogger at Trashplastic. com and mum-of-two Sophie Tait, 46, looks after a team of 100 Extinction Rebellion photographers who volunteer at London protests. She says, “I’ve always been conscious of environmental issues – I’ve been vegan for years and have cut back on plastic. “But as I became aware of more news reports and scientific evidence about the dying environment, I realised that reducing plastic consumption and following a plant-based diet wouldn’t be significant enough to make a huge difference. “We’re facing potential mass extinction – people are already dying as a result of climate change, which is causing extreme weather and droughts. “My twin daughters, E.B and Josie, are 10 years old – and I’m terrified for their future if we don’t take drastic action now. “They know what’s…

GWYNETH AND DAKOTA ‘CLOSER THAN EVER’ They’ve remained great friends since divorcing in 2016 – with Gwyneth Paltrow calling her ex Chris Martin a “brother” after the pair famously coined the term “conscious uncoupling” to describe their amicable split. And earlier this month, Gwyneth, 47, was seen attending the 30th birthday of Chris’s girlfriend, Dakota Johnson, with fans shocked at the warmth between the three. Gwyneth – who shares Apple, 15, and Moses, 13, with Coldplay singer Chris, 42 – was seen chatting with Dakota and celebrating with other guests. She also posted a sweet tribute to Dakota on Instagram, writing, “Happy 30th birthday to this absolute gem.” Insiders previously told Closer that Fifty Shades actress Dakota had been frustrated with Chris’ continued closeness to Gwyneth – who wed producer…

‘We’ve said our babies might end up dating!’ They’ve been through a lot together since they met on TOWIE in 2010, quickly becoming best friends. And Lydia Bright reveals that becoming a first-time mum at the same time as her BFF Lucy Mecklenburgh is making their journey even more special. Lydia, 29 – who is due just five days after 28-year-old Lucy – says, “Oh my God, it’s definitely amazing to share this experience with my best friend. I called her and told her I was pregnant and then she called me back the next day and told me she was too! It was such a big thing for both of us to get our heads around. I fell pregnant really quickly, so it was a massive shock. At night,…

‘It’s OK to ask for help – everyone should do it’ he turned down the American version of Strictly Come Dancing in the hope she would be asked on to the original, “more traditional” British version – and now Michelle Visage tells Closer she’s having the time of her life on the show alongside pro dance partner Giovanni Pernice. New Yorker Michelle, 51, says, “Strictly is everything I wanted it to be and more. I’m so happy to be doing the show. It’s not about the fame – it’s the incredible people you’re learning from, the way they teach you to dance, the way they look after you. Gio is just wonderful – he’s my partner, my rock, my biggest critic. We fight like cat and dog because we’re so…

You may think smartwatches and high-tech dance games get kids moving, but research shows swings and slides are best. Researchers compared families with 5–12 year olds and found that having lots of tech made kids less active, and having as many as eight different types of play equipment didn’t lead to more activity – and while portable kit like skipping ropes and bats were good, the winners were static, old-fashioned favourites like slides, swings and trampolines. So hit up your local playground regularly for a fit family.…

Can you tell us about this LLF special? It’s a programme dedicated to the searches across the world for the bodies of soldiers lost in battle during the First World War. You work with ‘War Detectives’? They’re an elite all-female team at the Ministry of Defence. They’re amazing – so knowledgeable! They are tasked with identifying remains of soldiers from the over 500,000 World War personnel still with no known grave. What did it mean to the families you met to find out what happened to their loved ones? I was surprised by the level of emotion we all felt telling someone that we have a positive ID on a soldier. Just learning what happened to them – finding out how they would have spent their last few weeks, days…

JUSTIN BIEBER... Even Justin has waded in on the Wagatha Christie debate… here’s his take on Coleen’s original tweet. JACK WHITEHALL... Damn right it does, Jack. Just like the “smashing orangey bit” in the middle of a Jaffa cake. Full of vitamin C… probably. INSPIGRAM GEMMA ATKINSON Sorry, Gemma, that’s just not true. We’d far rather sit on the sofa with a sudoku than sweat it out in the gym……
