Whether you’ve already made New Year’s resolutions or want to really make a difference to your life in 2020, you’ve come to the right place for ideas, advice and inspiration to effect positive change. On pages 16 to 19, we’ve spoken to two super-slimmers, who reveal how they transformed their bodies and their lives. We’ve chatted to Chloe Madeley about how she maintains her incredible fitness levels, and she’s shared some delicious recipes to follow. We have a brilliant eight-page special, full of expert advice on achievable ways to be happier, wealthier and healthier. We’re also looking at the best of the new-season TV, while psychic Sally Morgan predicts how the months ahead will unfold for our favourite celebs, and on page 36, our Lovescopes reveal what the stars have…

• Friends reveal she is planning her fourth facelift in two years • The former glamour model admits she’ll never stop having work done • Top plastic surgeon warns she risks rotting skin, brain-cell damage, blood poisoning and even death if she goes under the knife again In just two years, she’s undergone three full facelifts – including one botched procedure that needed corrective surgery – as well as having copious amounts of filler pumped into her face in a bid to “prevent ageing”. And despite shocking photos showing her struggling to open her eyes and with scarring along her hairline as a result of surgery, 41-year-old Jordan – real name Katie Price – insists she won’t stop having cosmetic procedures, as friends reveal she’s planning a fourth facelift. A…

Just days before Christmas, Caroline Flack appeared at her lowest ebb, revealing she was experiencing the “worst time of her life” as she headed to court to plead not guilty to the charge of assaulting her boyfriend Lewis Burton earlier in December. It emerged in court that Caroline, 40, had been accused of beating Lewis, 27, who was reportedly left “covered in blood” at her home in north London. During the hearing, the former Love Island presenter reportedly broke down in tears. And just hours after leaving court, she thanked fans for their support, posting on Instagram, “Thankfully I know a lot of you will not believe all that you have heard and read following today’s court hearing... It’s going to be a relief when I am able to give…

Adam Frisby, 32, is the CEO of In The Style. He says, “I don’t refer to In The Style as a ‘fastfashion’ brand any more – we still bring life to trends quickly, but we aren’t ‘disposable’. We use the same fabrics as high-end retailers, we just make less profit to make them more affordable. “We’ve recently introduced steps to improve sustainability. We audit factories, ensuring they comply with strict environmental regulations, and we’re now working with the Marine Conservation Society, donating a penny from every item sold to help clear up the beaches and oceans from plastic and waste. We’re also currently developing ranges made from recycled fabrics. “ITS already produces 500 times less product than other high-street brands, and while we bring out collections regularly, we have fewer…

After losing a staggering 5st, Joanne Grimshaw has an enviably trim figure, and every reason to celebrate. But there is a heartbreaking reason behind her transformation. The mum of two was inspired to lose weight after her son, Ellis, two, was diagnosed with a rare illness. DEVASTATED Joanne, 35, says, “Ellis was in and out of hospital from the moment he was born. I lived off junk food and vending machines and I quickly piled on the pounds. “But when he was diagnosed with a genetic condition, I was told he’d likely never be able to walk. I was devastated. At the same time, I knew I’d have to provide lots more physical help for him as he grew up. But, at a size 18-20 and feeling unfit, I worried…

JONATHAN: ‘It’ll be hard for people to turn off’ He’s been on TV for over 30 years, but Jonathan Ross believes he’s on to a winner with new ITV show The Masked Singer, where he’s joined by Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Ken Jeong to judge the singing ability of a host of anonymous celebrities – who will be performing in costumes to hide their identity. Jonathan, 59, is so confident about the new programme – which has been imported to the UK after being a hit in America – he reckons it’ll make talent show veteran Simon Cowell jealous. He says, “The greatness of the show lies in the format. I think it’s a family show, and I hope it finds an audience on Saturday nights. It’ll be hard…

‘Marriage and kids are more important than my career’ He rose to fame on Love Island this summer, and now Curtis Pritchard has landed himself a gig on hit BBC talent show The Greatest Dancer, alongside Cheryl and Matthew Morrison. And Curtis, 23, says his experience on the show has been a dream come true – and that he’s loved meeting the celebrity dance captains, who also include Strictly’s Oti Mabuse and Taylor Swift’s pal, Todrick Hall. He says, “I still have to pinch myself that I’m doing the show. It’s been incredible. The dance captains are the nicest people. They each have their own little spark. “And they are all so talented – they’re top of their fields. They really know how to perform, act and sing – they…

‘This is the best time of the year to find a new man’ Tinder says it records the most traffic and matches in the first week of January. I was training really hard for a celebrity cage fight in December called Fame MMA – which I won! – so I didn’t have much time for dating late last year, but this is the best month to get back on it because everyone is partied-out after Christmas. It’s nice to meet someone and do chilled things, like go on dates to the cinema or ice skating. I also think a lot of people make New Year’s resolutions to meet The One, which is why more people sign up to dating apps. Every year, my resolution is to go out with boys…

GET HER LOOK CHERYL, 36 This season, we’re channelling Cheryl’s cosy vibes with this winter-ready outfit. Striped culottes teamed with a forest green rollneck are comfortable but stylish, while the camel coat gives a touch of luxe. Add red nail varnish and you’re ready to face the elements in style. I WANT WHAT SHE’S GOT! EVERYBODY’S WEARING... DRAMATIC SHOULDER DRESSES Statement sleeves reign supreme right now. Impress in prints like Iris, go for gold like Rochelle, or channel Olivia in emerald green. The bigger, the better! FASHION WORTH TALKING ABOUT! Tallia Storm, 21 Singer Tallia’s outfit isn’t her best. Her dress fits beautifully, and we’re all for a bit of rainbow, but a softer hairstyle and simple clutch would’ve better suited the statement look. We’re not a fan. Olivia Wilde,…

CLEANSE THOROUGHLY This is the first and most important step. There’s no use layering pricey serums and creams onto unclean skin. Double cleansing in the evenings is recommended by most beauty experts – the first go will take off your make-up, while the second deep-cleans. Use a silky oil or balm like this one to remove make-up, then follow with a cream or gel-based product, which can also be used in the mornings. Massage your cleanser into skin for at least a minute before washing off. EXFOLIATE SMARTER We used to swear by gritty scrubs, but we now know that gentle acid-based exfoliants are much better for refreshing your skin. Gritted textures are much too harsh, and can even leave tiny microtears on the surface of your face – especially…

‘I feel lucky someone like him wanted to marry me’ She’s usually super-strict with her eating habits. However, after relaxing her diet last summer during a six-month holiday with her husband, former professional rugby player and I’m A Celeb! star James Haskell, Chloe Madeley found she had piled on the pounds. Now, she’s back to peak fitness – and the presenter and personal trainer reveals she’s feeling her best again. Chloe says, “I had the best summer ever. I drank and had a pudding every day. I put on 20lbs and I went from a size 8 to a 10. I needed it! It got to May last year and my hormone and energy levels were suppressed, and I wasn’t having any fun socially. I said to James, ‘I need…

‘I’m a mum with a family, it got really tough’ She’s a busy mum of four, juggling motherhood and touring with Atomic Kitten. But despite her celebrity status, Natasha Hamilton found her life spiralling into a dark place earlier this year. Opening up to Closer , the singer – who has previously spoken about her battles with postnatal depression – admitted, “The issues had been building up for about a year. Then, in April, I started feeling depressed and my anxiety came back with a vengeance. “I was having panic attacks and struggling to cope. I felt overwhelmed by everything. I wasn’t sleeping, felt exhausted and like I was running on empty all the time.” After reforming with Atomic Kitten in 2012, Natasha – mum to Josh, 17, with club…

Ask your family and friends on any given day what would make them happier, and chances are their answers will range from a higher salary, losing 5lb, or even having a holiday in sunnier climes. But a decades-spanning investigation by Harvard University in the US, which included monitoring participants’ blood, brain scans and human interactions, has found the secret to lifelong happiness is, in fact, determined by the strength of your relationships. Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, said, “The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.” I couldn’t agree more. If you forge strong connections with people, you’ll generate positive energy around you and radically improve your life. Not only will you live…

1 CALL THE MIDWIFE ABANDONED BABY DRAMA SUN 5 JAN, 8PM, BBC1 Opening with news of the death of Sir Winston Churchill, series nine takes us to 1965 and a nation in mourning. Trixie isn’t sad for long, however, as she’s got a new electric ladyshaver to play with, encouraging the girls to enter a “how perfect are your pins?” contest (Lucille needs some persuading but hey, free tights!). Elsewhere, Fred finds an abandoned baby in a bin and it’s not long before the traumatised new mum comes forward – with a fierce Mother Mildred fighting her corner (the young woman is divorced – gasp!). There’s also a diphtheria outbreak (caused by a “filthy wound”) which causes panic on the streets of London. 2 THE VOICE UK NEW-LOOK PANEL FOR…

She vowed to stand by husband Dan Osborne after her triumph on I’m A Celeb! was tainted by yet more cheating rumours, this time alleging he’d enjoyed a threesome with his CBB co-stars Chloe Ayling and Natalie Nunn – something Dan denies. Just days before Christmas, Natalie, 34, broke her silence to claim she’d had sex with Dan in September 2018, dubbing it a “huge mistake’’ and adding how Dan had been “begging” her to deny the claims. After Jacqueline Jossa was crowned Queen of the Jungle in December, she admitted, “To be honest, I wanted to hit a restart button. It’s been two years of me basically giving him hell. It’s not like he got away lightly. He knows he’s done wrong.” MISTAKES Dan, 28, also issued an apology,…

• Lauren Goodger is injecting patients with filler at an Essex beauty salon – despite not being a qualified medical practitioner • Industry regulator Save Face warns that non-medics increase risk of blindness, disfigurement, tissue loss and anaphylactic shock • Lauren was left looking like ‘The Mask’ after having filler jabs She admitted she was left looking like Jim Carrey’s character from The Mask after an unqualified friend injected filler in her jaw last year. But Lauren Goodger – who has no medical qualifications – is now training to administer fillers at an Essex beauty salon. The former TOWIE star, 33, has been on a two-day “accredited course” to learn how to cosmetically enhance lips, cheeks and the jaw line, and has posted snaps on her social media of herself…

‘ON MY BOY’S BIRTHDAY, I HID FROM THE CAMERA AND COULDN’T EVEN RUN AROUND AFTER HIM’ Hopping on to a bouncy castle with her one-year-old son on his birthday, Claire O’Hara managed just two jumps before collapsing in a breathless heap. Embarrassed, she vowed to do everything she could to get fit, and has gone on to lose over 8st. Looking back, Claire, 31, can barely believe she was once over 19st. Now, at just 11st and a size 12, she runs regularly and goes to the gym – and has even run the London Marathon. Claire – who lives in Liverpool with son William, now four, and fiancé Dave, 42 – says, “William’s first birthday party was my trigger point. It should have been a wonderful day, but I…

They were lucky enough to head into the stunning Majorcan villa – and spent weeks showing off their enviably toned figures. But former Love Island contestants have spoken out about the unhealthy lengths they went to in order to be slim, following criticism they endured for gaining weight after the show. This year’s runner-up, Molly Mae Hague, 20, hit back at trolls when she was pictured looking curvier in November, saying she’s healthier than she was before the ITV series. She said, “I was a stone and a half lighter a year ago, but that’s because I was at the gym twice a day, and was obsessed with my diet. I might not be as confident in my body as I was before, but I am healthier.” Ahead of the…

It’s joined the legion of Saturday night television favourites, alongside The X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing and Britain’s Got Talent. But Cheryl – who returns for series two as a dance captain – says The Greatest Dancer is different and, for her, the best. She says, “We have tiny kids to 98 year olds. We’ve got variety, different genres, and the fact the audience get to choose whether or not they even go through the audition process or stay closed. “I just feel warm and happy when I watch it back – and I was part of it! It’s a feel-good, Saturday night show that everyone should sit down with their families to watch. There’s something for everyone on it.” Cheryl, 36, adds that she loved filming the auditions and,…

JACQUELINE IS GOING TO HAVE A NEW AWAKENING The nation’s hearts went out to Jacqueline Jossa when her husband, Dan Osborne, was recently embroiled in claims he enjoyed a threesome with his Celebrity Big Brother co-stars Chloe Ayling and Natalie Nunn in September 2018 – something he denies. At the time the scandal broke, Jacqueline was in the I’m A Celeb! jungle, unaware of the revelations. I was in the CBB house with Dan, Chloe and Natalie in 2018. I would consider Dan a friend, which makes it hard to say this – but Jacqueline is going to have a new awakening in 2020. I’m not exactly sure what it will be, but being crowned Jungle Queen will have given her a new-found sense of self-worth and confidence. March and…

MY FAMOUS DAD: “I don’t know what I’d do without him. I speak to my dad every day. The best advice he gives me is, ‘It will all be OK, because it always is’. He also says, ‘Go to the worst case scenario, really imagine it happening and how bad you’ll feel and then it’ll be over’. He always puts things into perspective.” MENTAL HEALTH: “Every now and then, I’ll go for therapy. You go to a professional for dental work or personal training, so sometimes you need someone who has studied the human brain and can say, ‘I understand what you’re doing and here’s how you can help yourself’.” MARRIAGE: “James and I have ups and downs like every married couple. We have arguments that ideally you’d like to…

Michelle Heaton has been very open about her health and body issues over the years, but the former singer found herself at her lowest ebb a couple of years ago, admitting she felt short on confidence, struggling with body image and suffering from an almost non-existent libido. The star, who is married to businessman Hugh Hanley and is mum to Faith, seven, and AJ, five, admits she was struggling until she returned to exercise to lift her spirits. She says, “The last year or two, I lost my self-confidence, sexually and emotionally. It was probably my worst time. Then I gave myself a kick up the bum and focused on having a positive mindset. I realised exercise helped me to get out of the dark times in the past and…

DES REAL-LIFE KILLER ITV David Tennant plays evil serial killer Dennis Nilsen in this three-part ITV drama, which revists a horrific five-year killing spree. Nilsen (known as ‘Des’) murdered boys and young men in his North London flat from 1978 to 1983. He went undetected until Detective Chief Inspector Peter Jay (Line Of Duty actor Daniel Mays) was called to 23 Cranley Gardens on 9 February 1983 to investigate human fragments of flesh and bones clogging the drains… Jason Watkins will star as Brian Masters, who wrote a biography on Nilsen, and the drama will follow the events of Nilsen’s arrest as police try to find some justice for his victims.

Are you in touch with James (Norton – who left in the last series)? James and I stay in contact and he’s doing very well. Though he does miss the fun and the vibe – and Grantchester has a special vibe. It’s one of the reasons I keep coming back. It’s very rare when you can genuinely enjoy yourself on a show and shoot in an amazing location. When we’re in Cambridge, it’s like a holiday. What’s in store for series five? The storylines are incredible. I have to say it just goes from strength to strength, and Tom’s (Brittney) just moved in seamlessly with a new energy and dynamic. It’s nice to be involved in a quality show, which is also well received in America. How is Tom getting…

We wanted to come up with a witty reply to this, Montana – maybe we’ll get round to it by the end of January? We’ll let you know...

INSPIGRAM KHLOÉ KARDASHIAN Oh Khloé, you haven’t seen the state of our house/car/phone. That’s going to take until at least 2025. Happy new year!…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST EMMA KENNY believes that, after so many cheating rumours and allegations, Jacqueline will be living in fear of when the next claim will come out. She says, “If someone is accused of cheating in a couple – especially more than once – the trust is often broken and it can shatter a relationship, whether true or not. Wilful cheating is a sign of a lack of respect, and Jacqueline’s self-esteem will have taken a hit. She will always wonder, in the back of her mind, when the next claims about Dan are coming and will always have doubts in the relationship. “If someone has actually cheated, there has to be repercussions if you want the relationship to be saved. Taking back someone who has cheated on you…

Her husband Wayne Rooney quietly made his debut as a player-coach for Derby County just before Christmas, watching on as his new team equalised with QPR – a stark contrast to playing for DC United in America amid much fanfare. Many have assumed that Wayne’s move to Derby – who are only 16th in the Championship – will mark the end of his career on the pitch, despite him recently revealing ambitions to play football for as long as possible. PRESTIGE But pals say his wife Coleen is concerned about how they’ll adjust to his changing status, having enjoyed a glittering career as one of the best-paid footballers in the world. And insiders reveal she fears being eclipsed by archenemy Rebekah Vardy – whose husband Jamie’s Premiership football career is…

Brits have fallen in love with “fast fashion” – cheap clothing that’s turned around in a matter of days to stay on trend. But this new way of producing clothes means that we’ve developed a “throwaway culture”, with one in three young women now considering garments worn once or twice to be old. And this pressure on the fashion industry to continuously churn out new clothes is having a devastating effect on the environment. Lucy Siegle is the author of To Die For: Is Fashion Wearing Out The World?. She said, “There is credible evidence that says garment apparel production is one of the top five polluters globally. We are producing over 100 billion garments from new fibres every single year and the planet cannot sustain that.” Almost half of…

Fleur De Force is one of the most successful beauty and fashion influencers in the UK. Mum-of-one Fleur, 31, says, “I started my YouTube channel when I was 21. Back then, the term ‘fast fashion’ didn’t really exist. I’d record haul videos a couple of times a month, and I’d post links to my new outfits so my followers could buy them. “But after watching a couple of documentaries, including Our Planet and Stacey Dooley Investigates: Fashion’s Dirty Secret, I started thinking more – not just about my own shopping habits, but the way I was influencing other people’s, too. “Now, my content has changed. I don’t shop on the high street any more, so I don’t often film haul videos. Instead, I’ve recorded videos on how to fix your…

‘I’m very competitive – I’m in it to win it!’ She’s starring in Dancing On Ice this month, and Caprice is already reaping the benefits of the intense training. The former model tells Closer that, as well as helping her shift her baby weight, preparing for the show has also improved her sex life with her partner of nine years, Ty Comfort. Caprice, 48, who shares sons Jax and Jett, both six, with the British financier, says, “I’ve lost half a stone already, and my partner is like a 21 year old in the bedroom again – it’s improved things but it’s doing my head in! Ice skating tones muscles in your body that I didn’t even know existed.” FEARLESS The American businesswoman – full name Caprice Bourret – is…

It was the crime that left the nation reeling – the killing of three generations of one family in a sprawling Essex farmhouse known as White House Farm. At first, police believed that ex-model Sheila Caffell, 28, had shot her parents and six-year-old twin sons in a schizophrenic episode, before turning the gun on herself. But, shockingly, evidence emerged that revealed it was her adoptive brother, Jeremy Bamber, then 24, who was responsible for the murders – motivated by the prospect of a huge inheritance. Despite being found guilty and sentenced to life behind bars, Bamber has maintained his innocence and is currently planning a third appeal against his conviction. NARCISSIST Now, new ITV drama White House Farm will shine a spotlight on the case once more. Closer spoke to…

SWEET POTATO HASH Chloe says, “I love this recipe.

Reduce the heat slightly and cook until the potatoes are soft (typically 5–10 mins), adding…

GET OUT OF BREATH Some experts recently said food labels should say how much exercise you would need to do to burn off the calories you’ve eaten. I don’t agree – that makes exercise seem like a punishment, when actually the benefits of working out are amazing. You feel better in yourself, you sleep better, you feel happier, and that helps to keep the habit. Even after a little regular exercise, people feel dramatically different. I recommend 30 minutes of exercise three or four times a week. That means getting your heart rate up so you couldn’t hold a conversation. If you hate running or swimming, or despise the gym, do something else. Find activities you enjoy. PROTECT YOURSELF FROM NASTY BUGS A flu outbreak is likely this year, and…
