Closer Issue 904의 목차

It can be all too easy to imagine that we as individuals have little influence. That’s especially true now, when our way of life has been dramatically changed by something so shocking and beyond our control. Yet we’ve also learned that ripples can create tidal waves. The heroic Captain Tom Moore is an incredible example. Who would have thought that his charity walk around his garden would raise millions for the NHS? This week, we’re highlighting how we can change things by working together. On page 16, we look at those battling loneliness – but discover there’s plenty you can do to help stave it off. And we also report on the barbaric wet markets, which create untold suffering and fear. They seem so far away, but there IS something…

‘ SHE’S HAD A BATTLE WITH SELF-CONFIDENCE, BUT SHE’S DETERMINED TO LOVE HERSELF’ • She’s the highest-paid reality star on ITVBe and recently made a staggering £100k in 24 hours • Things are better than ever with on/off boyfriend Arg after he returns from rehab and sheds 5 stone • Brands herself ‘queen of quarantine’ as she uses new confidence to win over fans and boost her £5m fortune As Britain battles the effects of lockdown, with relationships under pressure and financial worries, Gemma Collins has seized the spotlight and continues to try to turn the negative situation into a positive one. Over the past two months, despite being unable to leave her house unless for essential food or exercise, the self-dubbed “queen of quarantine” has poured her energy into…

‘SHE’S PROUD OF HER BODY, SO WHY SHOULDN’T SHE BE ABLE TO SHOW IT OFF?’ She raised eyebrows last week as she revealed she’d signed up to X-rated subscription site OnlyFans – charging admirers £20 a month to view photos of her online. It comes after mum-of-five Kerry Katona underwent her latest body overhaul last year, dropping from a size 16 to a svelte size 8 through exercise, yoga, balanced eating and daily workouts with her personal trainer boyfriend, Ryan Mahoney. And insiders say Kerry, 39, has turned to selling sexy pictures of herself to celebrate her new-found confidence and to show off her body. A source says, “Kerry turns 40 in September and wants to enter her next decade feeling as incredible as possible. She’s the happiest she’s been…

‘DOING THINGS YOU ENJOY IS LIKELY TO MAKE YOU WANTTO CONNECT WITH OTHERS’ After losing both of her parents within just six months of each other, Lorna Harris wanted a fresh start, so moved from London to Whitstable – 60 miles away from most of her friends and family. But within four months of moving, the UK was put on lockdown due to coronavirus. And, as she has an underlying health condition, Lorna was told not to leave her house for 12 weeks. Grieving, and living by herself in a new town, Lorna faced a lonely lockdown. But the PR consultant says that her experience so far has been the opposite. Lorna, 46, says, “Lockdown couldn’t have come at a worse time for me. I wanted to keep busy and…

NEW MUM SHERIDAN: ‘I’m overwhelmed with love’ he’s long been open about her desire to start a family, and now Sheridan Smith has become a mum after giving birth to a baby boy with fiancé Jamie Horn earlier this month. The actress, 38, shared the news on social media, posting a photo of her son’s hand gripping her finger, and writing alongside, “Our little man has arrived! We are both completely overwhelmed with love.” She later stated she’d been “bowled over” by the number of congratulatory messages she’d received from friends and fans. Sheridan revealed she and Jamie, 30, were expecting a baby last October – telling passengers she was entertaining on a cruise ship performance, “I’ve got a baby on board!” LUCKY And the star – who recently starred…

They met almost a decade ago and share two sons – six-year olds Jett and Jax – together, but Caprice says she’ll never let her sex life with her financier husband Ty Comfort slip, even during lockdown. “I’ve got to keep my sex life up, otherwise my husband goes nuts!” laughs Caprice, 48. “It’s essential. “Normally, I want to rip Ty’s clothes off all the time. I fancy the pants off him, but homeschooling and cleaning the house is so exhausting – sometimes I spend all day in my PJs. NAKED SHOOT “You can’t be lazy, though, because once you let it go, it never comes back! I make an effort to dress up twice a week for a date night. It makes you feel human again – you have…

Wet markets have been thrust into the spotlight this year, after they have been largely blamed for sparking the deadly coronavirus outbreak – which has resulted in thousands of deaths around the globe. The markets, mainly found in Asia and Africa, sell meat, fish and fruit. They get their name from the water that is thrown on the produce to keep it cool and fresh – but they also have a truly sinister side. ILLEGAL Many of the animals are slaughtered on site, and so the term “wet market” has also become associated with their blood and bodily fluids. Animals such as snakes, monkeys and deer live alongside each other in cramped conditions, often without food or water, before being killed. Many of the animals sold are classed as “exotic”…

You may have heard that men are twice as likely to die from COVID-19 as women. I wasn’t entirely surprised, because men are likelier than women to die from a lot of things. It’s why we have a lower life expectancy, and it’s down to many factors. Biology plays its part, but behaviour and lifestyle play major roles, too. More men smoke than women, and smokers make up a quarter of those who end up in intensive care or lose their life. HORMONES AND IMMUNE DIFFERENCES Women are just as likely to catch coronavirus – but men are outnumbering women when it comes to severe symptoms, although still, for most, it will be like a bad case of flu. Men are more likely to be overweight, have high blood pressure,…

INSIDE JAZMINE’S FRIDGE • Oranges • Halloumi cheese • Feta cheese • Egg whites • Caramel chocolate • Grapes • Garlic • HP sauce • Ketchup • Chopped garlic • Vegetarian sausages • Chicken fillets • Sweet potatoes • Mayonnaise • Jelly • Stir-fry veg • Onions • Asparagus • Strawberries • Blueberries • Balsamic vinegar • Spinach • Peppers • Prosecco • Almond milk VERDICT NUTRITIONIST JULIETTE KELLOW SAYS, “Like many, Jazmine’s found that lockdown has cut her shopping bill. It’s great she eats regularly and doesn’t avoid many foods. She eats plenty of fruit and veg, and seems to control her sweet tooth. If she feels low on energy, she could eat more carbs, like porridge with berries at breakfast, or a baked potato or brown rice at…

SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR Singer Sophie, husband Richard and their five children live in their fabulously quirky home in West London. Disco balls, neon signs and festive bunting give this colourful household a festival vibe that’s filled with fun. ANGELA SCANLON The Radio 2 host shares her London pad with her husband and two-year-old daughter. To recreate her bright and fuss-free style, team simpler wooden elements with fresh muted hues and indoor plants.

Julia Goulding, 35 – who plays Shona Ramsay – is back after four months (she’s been on maternity leave, welcoming baby Franklin last November…) What does Shona remember? Absolutely nothing. She has no recollection of living on the Street. Gail, Roy… she can’t remember a thing. And David…? It’s difficult, as he’s a stranger telling her he’s her husband. She is wary. She knows she’s married to him, but she has no emotional connection towards him, so is indifferent. What’s it like for you being back on set? Everything is exactly the same and it’s been great to get back! I’ve really enjoyed being back at work and with this challenging storyline.…

According to Masterchef’s Gregg, “cooking just doesn’t get tougher than this”. Meanwhile, when John’s food processor erupts, it just doesn’t get messier. Doing yet another load of washing in isolation begins to take a toll on Mindy, as she starts drinking laundry liquid. We’ve all been there! We used to fancy the pants off Jamie Dornan. Now we just have major envy over his fabulous 40C boobs! While some of us have used lockdown as an excuse to slob out with confectionery, Britney has been working solidly on her biceps – yikes! Very saucy, Jake. Now please tell us that scene didn’t end with Phoebe singing ‘Smelly Cat’… AMBER DAVIES All these years we’ve been trying to find a man who can do this to us and Amber finally shares…

‘ SHE’S TOLD POSH TO TAKE HERSELF AWAY FROM ALL THE SCRUTINY’ She’s said to “feel like herself again” since relocating to her native LA earlier this year – after quitting royal life amid the constant barrage of criticism she endured since marrying Prince Harry in May 2018. And friends say Meghan Markle, 38 – who last week reportedly hired the Beckhams’ former Hollywood aide, 70-year-old Rebecca Mostow, to help run their day-to-day lives – has been quietly encouraging her pal Victoria Beckham, 46, to follow suit and move back to LA with her family after facing her own recent backlash from the British public. Posh was said to be “really upset” over the “unfair” attacks she received for her now-reversed decision to furlough 33 staff at her struggling fashion…

They’ll be celebrating five years as a married couple this week, and Mark Wright is clearly still as much in awe of wife Michelle Keegan now as he was on their wedding day, admitting last week that he’s her “biggest fan”. While hosting his radio show, Mark, 33, talked to actress Michelle, 32, about her latest role in the new series of Sky comedy Brassic and joked that it was a “little bit strange” to be interviewing his wife. LOVERS’ TIFF “See, when you’re married to an actor, you have to see all these different characters that they play,” Mark said. “And I have to remember all of their different traits, otherwise I get in trouble for not taking enough notice. No, I don’t really, I love everything my wife…

They’ve reached a stalemate in their ongoing WAG war, as Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy were reported to have failed to settle their differences during a tense video meeting with their lawyers two weeks ago. As Closer reported last week, despite hopes that the meeting could be a turning point in the so-called “WAGatha Christie” spat and lead to a peace deal, there were fears that the pair would never be able to resolve their issues. And as emotions continue to run high, Rebekah, 38, has allegedly threatened to sue for libel, after Coleen, 34, publicly pointed the finger at her private Instagram account as being the source of leaked stories about her – something Rebekah denies. Meanwhile, Coleen is reportedly threatening to countersue for breach of privacy, meaning their…

Roxanne Pickett, 28, lives on her own in Bracknell, Berkshire. She says, “It’s been nearly three months since I hugged someone, and I miss physical contact with friends and family so much. I just want a big hug. “I live alone, and while I usually like my own space, the past few weeks have been difficult. I work in admin for a health food company so have been working from home. I usually work in an office with 60 people, so it’s been very hard to adjust. I try to keep some kind of routine, getting up at a similar time each day and making sure I get changed out of my pyjamas. If I didn’t, I know my mental health would suffer. “My neighbours tend to keep themselves to…

She shot to fame on TOWIE in 2010 – the hit show synonymous with fake tans, false eyelashes, and backcombed hair – so it comes as no surprise to learn that Lauren Goodger is itching to resume her high-maintenance routine as soon as lockdown restrictions are lifted. Lauren, 33, laughs as she tells Closer, “I can’t wait to see my friends and family, but I really want to have a blow-dry and a spray tan, get my eyebrows and nails done, and get my veneers completed. They’re hanging by a thread!” She adds, “This is what Essex is like and how I’ve always been. I miss the pampering, and I like my facials and massages! I miss eating out, too – I just want to be waited on!” While she’s…

ENTERTAINING THE KIDS: “Luckily, my boys are six, so they can pretty much entertain themselves. But when I’m with them, we play chess and backgammon and read lots of books. They do the online Barrecore with me and we also have a basketball hoop, which is hours of fun. I never shove an iPad in their faces.” MANAGING THE BAD DAYS: “I have a good cry when I’m having a bad day, because you must let it all out. But before I go to sleep, I tell myself tomorrow is going to be a better day and 90 per cent of the time, it is.” PLANNING MY NEXT CAREER MOVE: “I’m not doing any more reality TV, but I love acting, so I’m going to keep making films. I just…

Around 75 per cent of new diseases in humans come from animals, including SARS, swine flu and Ebola. Dr Peter Sousa Hoejskov, from the World Health Organisation (WHO), says, “When animals are irresponsibly captured, farmed and slaughtered, it increases the risks of disease. The hygiene standards of wet markets vary in countries across the world, so we’re prompting global leaders to unite to adhere to common hygiene rules. It’s in everyone’s best interest that we produce and consume food responsibly and safely. We can’t afford to let another disease like COVID-19 wreak havoc on humanity.”…

Mum-of-one Louise Robson now has two reasons to increase her milk production. Not only is she feeding her six-month-old daughter Sophia, she’s also trying to keep up with the demand for her unusual sideline of selling her breast milk to adults – which has quadrupled during lockdown. So much so that Louise thinks she will earn over £1,000 from selling it by the time lockdown is over. Louise, who lives in Hull and is currently on maternity leave from her dog grooming job, says, “I can’t believe how many people have emailed me asking for milk. I’ve had at least four times as many enquiries as usual – as many as five a day – and I’m desperately trying to fulfil them. “I was doing this for a month before…

ALL ABOUT YOU PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST BURNOUT UK workers are doing more overtime, having fewer breaks, and feel less supported and more stressed. Emma advises LinkedIn has found that, thanks to fears over job security, home workers are clocking up an extra 28 hours of monthly overtime to impress bosses. Supermarket staff are working extra hours, and key workers are finding a work/life balance very difficult to achieve. Overworking may impress your boss in the short term, but you will not be able to sustain it without suffering emotional and physical ramifications down the line. If you’re working from home, create a schedule that defines the hours you are working, and includes regular breaks where you go out for some fresh air, read, or have a cup of tea, and…

You might be ticking over thanks to government support, but perhaps you’re wondering if there’s more you could do to come back stronger. Here, Dr Alan Redman, Occupational Psychologist at Criterion.co.uk, shares some ideas... SEE WHAT WORKS “Successful businesses will adapt and incorporate the new processes that are beneficial after this is over,” says Alan. “Remote working, for example, has been forced on businesses, but implemented well, it can be a real positive for efficiency, flexible working, recruitment and cost reduction.” KEEP TALKING, BUT SAY THE RIGHT THINGS! You may not be able to serve customers like usual, but don’t give them the silent treatment. “Businesses should stay in touch with customers, but avoid taking a purely sales focus,” says Alan. “Build the relationship by offering support, free expertise, or…

STEP 1: EXFOLIATE Margaret explains, “All the foot creams in the world won’t work if you leave the hard, dry skin in place.” Rough heels not only look bad, they can be uncomfortable and sore. It can take a little time to buff them back to health again, but we would always recommend starting with a foot file to tackle the harder areas. File on dry skin only, then follow up with a gritty scrub while in the bath or shower to polish off any hard-to-reach places. STEP 2: TRIM & FILE Margaret says, “If you want to give yourself salon-groomed nails, use a good quality nail file to file straight across.” It’s important to show your toenails plenty of love – regular trims and filing will keep them stronger…

What’s been the best or worst moment of this series? There was one point when I had my back to a Showpiece and I heard a crash – and then the whole thing was on the floor... They’d spent so much time making it, but then gravity took over and it just dropped! It was a sad moment. Which brings us on to… Any crying incidents this time? There is a lot of crying! Obviously, I’ve done Bake Off and I know what it’s like to be in that position, but I see it from a different perspective now. So, I try to say to them, ‘Don’t beat yourself up!’ I feel their pain, so I try to spur them on to the next challenge and be positive. Did you…

He’s rocked everything from cornrows to headbands in the past 25 years – and is considered a hair icon. But fans were baffled last week when David Beckham was pictured with seemingly thinning locks – just two years after reportedly undergoing a hair transplant. Hair loss expert Dr Rosh of Klnik surgery told Closer, “Half of men by the age of 50 are affected by male pattern baldness, which is mainly hereditary. It’s likely David’s had a hair transplant but, even then, hair can start thinning again years later, which is why most people who have them opt to have up to three.” The day after he was snapped looking thinner on top, David was pictured again – with thicker-looking locks. Dr Rosh adds, “David is likely to be self-conscious…

In a heartbreaking revelation last week, Liam Payne told how his son Bear had brought him close to tears, as the little boy begged to see him during lockdown. Opening up in a candid YouTube video, the former One Direction singer, 26 – who is separated from the three year old he shares with Cheryl, as he isolates with girlfriend Maya Henry in London – revealed they had been communicating via FaceTime, and added, “It has been the toughest time, being away from him. The other day he said over video, ‘We need you here now, Daddy’. Bless him... It made me want to cry.” And insiders tell Closer that with Bear pining for his dad, it’s made Cheryl, 36, start to have regrets about not isolating together. A source…

She took a break from her ongoing war against Coleen Rooney last week to shine a light on child abuse and offer support to victims, prompting fans to praise Rebekah Vardy’s bravery. Posting on Instagram, Rebekah recalled the harrowing sexual abuse she had suffered from the age of 12 at the hands of a family friend. She’d first revealed in 2016 that she was abused and had even attempted to take her own life at the age of 15 because she “just wanted to escape”. In an emotional post to mark her daughter Megan’s 15th birthday last week, she revealed how she was “very happy and extremely lucky” that Megan is “fortunate enough to feel safe, loved and content.” Fans flooded the WAG with supportive messages, saying, “She’s incredibly brave…

Lauren has fuelled constant surgery rumours over the years, with many speculating she has had a Brazilian bum lift. Now, she’s keen to put the record straight. “People are obsessed with what I’ve had done, but I haven’t had much. I had a nose operation in 2010 for medical reasons, and I’d get it done again, because I still have problems breathing. I had a boob job in 2013 [going from a 34D to a 34E] and I’ve had a bit of body sculpting. I’ve not had my arse done – I’ve just got a booty because of the exercises I do. Fillers and Botox are minor – they don’t last forever. I don’t regret my choices, but I wish I could go back to my old boobs as my…

ULRIKA: ‘It took a lot to get my love life started up – now I’m suffering another drought!’ She admitted she’d had an eight-year sex drought with ex Brian Monet – but Ulrika Jonsson was thrilled after finding a new man to spice things up with this year. However, the presenter – mum to Cameron, 25, Bo, 19, Martha, 15, and Malcolm, 11 – has admitted the coronavirus crisis and the initial six-week lockdown, where the public were told to isolate with one household, put an abrupt halt to her renewed sex life with her new mystery man. She said, “Having spent two years coming out of a somewhat ‘barren’ marriage with little human touch, I’ve spent the past five months in a physical relationship with a new man –…

Last week, there was a mixed response to PM Boris Johnson’s address to the nation and the easing of lockdown rules. It’s easy to be an “armchair politician”, but I don’t feel confident in the way things are being handled by the government. I think we took too long to go into lockdown and restrictions are being eased without any real changes in the coronavirus situation. We’re still not any further along with the testing of the public or a vaccine, so how can we start to resume normal life? I also read last week that some soaps are resuming filming, but with social distancing imposed. Having worked on Hollyoaks, I just can’t see how they can do that. I appreciate that they want to get up and running, but…

AGEING IS AN ACHIEVEMENT, NOT A NEGATIVE “Growing older isn’t a negative – it’s my goal. I was in an intensive care unit for nine days [in 2001, following a devastating stroke]. I was left with a massive brain haemorrhage. My recovery period was hell. At that time, they didn’t have stroke recovery programmes and I spent two years learning to walk and talk again. I don’t need someone to make me feel bad about growing old. You can slow down the ‘ageing’ process if you pull yourself together, eat disciplined and exercise a lot.” ACCEPT YOURSELF FOR BEING JUST THE WAY YOU ARE “There was a point in my forties when I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door and said, ‘I won’t get…

I HOPE… this fantastic appreciation of nature we’ve seen in lockdown continues. The body is so connected to it – we’re made from the earth and need to plug back into it. I’M PROUD OF... my rugby achievements, but I’ve been through a journey of discovery since then that I’m also proud of. I adhere to a different kind of fitness now, where I listen to my body flow. I BELIEVE THAT... walking barefoot is good for our health. When you’re in contact with the earth, it renews your energy. I walk barefoot loads. Stretching is so important too. I REGRET... pushing my body too hard when I was super competitive. I started out with so much passion but it got replaced with pressure. I used to fixate on being…

CHIC AND COSY Sofia Vergara, 47 The Modern Family star is known for being a glamour queen both on and off the red carpet.

Springwatch is very different this year? GILLIAN, 43: The team have done an amazing job responding to something that no one saw coming. We’d normally have a crew of 100-plus people, but instead, Chris will be based in the New Forest, Iolo in mid-Wales, and I’ll be in Cornwall. CHRIS, 59: I feel very positive about the whole thing. I see this as an opportunity to reflect on a very unique spring, and from a wildlife point of view, there are definite benefits. We’re forced to find new and exciting ways of doing things. You haven’t got Michaela? GILLIAN: We’re going to miss her, as she’s locked down in South Africa, but she’ll still have a presence, as she’ll be highlighting some of her favourite Springwatch moments. IOLO, 57: Michaela…
