‘MEGHAN HAS SOME HUGE AND EXCITING NEWS UP HER SLEEVE’ After what has felt like months of anticipation, the countdown to the Coronation of King Charles on 6 May is now just days away. But while the nation is busy stocking up on bubbles and pinning up the bunting, behind-the-scenes at the Palace tension has been growing as the momentous occasion approaches – and it's all down to the shock RSVP from Prince Harry. Earlier this month, despite missing the deadline by four days, Buckingham Palace and a spokesperson for the Sussexes confirmed that Harry, 38, will attend, while wife Meghan Markle, 41, and their children – Archie, who will turn four on the same day, and one-year-old Lilibet – will remain at their Californian mansion. ALLEGATIONS However, while Prince…

JUNE 2018 The couple were forced to publicly shut-down divorce rumours, sparked by fresh infidelity allegations. And were snapped sitting apart. OCTOBER 2018 During an interview, David described his marriage to Victoria as “hard work” which reportedly left her “crying for two days”.…

Writer Mel Fallowfield, 50, lives in London with her two children, Freddie*, 16, and Michael*, 13. She says, “I should make it very clear that my son does have ADHD – it was first flagged up in nursery and he attended a SEN school for two years for his dyslexia and dyspraxia. “But though I was aware he almost certainly had it, I didn't want him to have another label, so put off getting an official diagnosis. “It was only when he started getting into trouble at school for being disorganised, forgetful and impulsive that I knew he should have an official diagnosis so he could access more support and possibly start medication. “As the NHS waiting lists are so long, I found an online company that specialises in ADHD…

NEWS Former TOWIE star Sam Faiers sent fans into a frenzy last week when she posted a loved-up pic with long-term partner Paul Knightley, wearing a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger. Followers went into meltdown, asking in the comments whether the couple – who were on a lavish holiday to Dubai – had got engaged. But while a proposal is still unconfirmed, insiders say that Sam is desperate to head down the aisle and throw the celeb wedding of the year. Sam, 32, and Paul, 34, have been together since 2014 and share three children – Paul, seven, Rosie, five, and Edward, 11 months. DROPPING HINTS An insider says, “Sam really wants to cement her celeb status with a proper starstudded wedding. She's been dropping hints to Paul…

She's bravely shared her hopes to have a baby, and last week fans were quick to ask whether Gemma Collins’ dream has come true after the TOWIE star posted a picture of herself wearing a gorgeous green dress at an event in Birmingham. One fan wrote, “Amazing. Is there something cooking that we don't know about Gem?” Another added, “Is that a little bump I see?” In January, Gemma, 42, said she had started the year with a trip to Bethlehem, saying, “I did pray when I was there. I said, ‘Please God give me a baby this year’.” She revealed in 2020 that she had suffered a miscarriage during lockdown, after previously losing a baby at four months in 2012, and having another miscarriage in her 20s. The following…

‘It's very special to be able to tell our stories’ Strictly Come Dancing has long played Cupid, with connections formed on the show often developing into long-lasting relationships. And one of the more recent couples to emerge from the show are professional dancers Nadiya Bychkova and Kai Widdrington, who went public with their romance last April. Nadiya – who hails from Ukraine – joined the Strictly family in 2017, while Southampton-born Kai is still relatively new on the scene, having been involved for two seasons. His 2021 debut not only earned fans’ adoration, but Nadiya's too. The pair have been going from strength-to-strength in their relationship and even got a pet pooch together last year – a bulldog called Snoopy. And speaking to Closer at the Dune London x Nadiya…

They first went public in 2019 and last weekend, Keanu Reeves and his girlfriend Alexandra Grant proved they are still very much loved-up after sharing a passionate kiss at a red-carpet event in LA. Actor Keanu, 58, who recently starred in the DC League of Super-Pets film, is believed to have first met visual artist Alexandra, 50, at a dinner party in 2009, before their friendship blossomed into romance years later. And fans were delighted by their PDA, with one writing, “Lovely to see a couple truly in love”, while another added, “How lovely to see a strong, confident and happy woman”. Their show of happiness comes over 10 years after Keanu tragically lost his girlfriend, Jennifer Syme, in a car crash in 2001. The couple had met in 1998,…

Scarlett Moffatt looked every inch the excited mum-to-be as she showed off her blossoming baby bump last week while getting ready for a 4D scan. The Gogglebox star, 32 – who's thought to be due in the summer – revealed how she was loving pregnancy, writing “My second trimester, I've felt so bloody confident. Wish I could bottle these hormones up.” She also confirmed she and partner Scott Dobinson, 37, had picked a name – saying, “When we're telling him stories or saying good morning, we use his name. I need to be really mindful not to regurgitate it when I'm on Instagram, otherwise the surprise is going to be spoilt!”…

In just a week or so, the country will be celebrating as King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla are crowned at Westminster Abbey. Alongside processions and concerts, Sunday 7 May – the day after – sees the Coronation Big Lunch, an event that encourages neighbours and communities to come together and share friendship and food. After last year's event held on Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, almost 12 million people said the Big Lunch helped them feel less lonely, eight out of 10 said it had a positive impact on their community, and the event raised £16.5 million for local charities and causes. So how you can you throw a fun, hasslefree party? According to The Big Lunch (TheBigLunch.com), it's easy: start by seeing who wants to join in…

RELATIONSHIPS COUPLES DON'T NEED A ‘PROBATION PERIOD’ Performance reviews for new relationships are trending. Emma explains the fad-free way to tend to a romantic partnership The hashtag #threemonthrule has blown up on TikTok recently. It gives relationships a threemonth probation period, during which certain conditions are supposed to be met. Then couples decide if it's worth continuing or, if there are problems, they can agree a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP). There is some worth in this kind of approach. By agreeing behaviour boundaries at the start of your relationship and being clear about what you both expect from one another, you can make a positive start and challenge one another if either of you fall below par. But I have many reservations beyond that; if you realise red flags early…

Almost two-thirds of us believe we wouldn't be able to last three months without borrowing money, which is a pretty stressful place to be. That's why we asked moneysaving expert Ann Russell, author of new book How To Save Money (Headline Home, £12.99) and advice dispenser to her 2.3m followers on TikTok, to share her ultimate tips… COLOUR CODE YOUR BANK STATEMENT Want to save but no idea where to begin? Try the Marie Kondo method when it comes to spending, says Ann. “Writing down your spending is essential in order to figure out where to cut back, so go through your bank statements, labelling everything either ‘essential’ (things like mortgage, rent or bills) or ‘non-essential’ (cinema trips or beauty treatments, for example). Next, ask yourself whether it's necessary or…

It's quite the week for Sharon, starting with her finding out Keanu might have been drug dealing. And as actress Letitia Dean, 55, explains, “Sharon is no shrinking violet when it comes to crime [but] she's completely floored by the possibility that Keanu has been mixing with drugs.” As for her reaction when she sees him being tended to by paramedics, “She's distraught.

Last July saw Rebekah Vardy's career and reputation plummet when she lost her libel case against Coleen Rooney in what has been one of the most publicised court showdowns of the decade. But in a new and surprising development, last week it was revealed that Becky, 41, has successfully trademarked the phrase “Wagatha Christie” – the term used for the media coverage of the trial. SHREWD Confirmed by her new management team, this latest shrewd move by the wife of former England striker Jamie Vardy means that anyone wishing to use the unique label for commercial purposes will have to seek the prior approval of Becky, who has the right to ask for payment for the privilege. The trademark includes broadcasting, clothing, non-alcoholic beverages, education and beauty – and comes…

Binky Felstead shared the happy news that she'd become a mum of three last week, after welcoming a baby boy with her husband, Max Darnton. The reality star, 32, shared a sweet video montage of her newborn's first moments in the private Lindo Wing Maternity ward at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, London, captioning it, “15.04.23 10:45pm!

Opening up Instagram, Livi clicks the “follow” button, knowing that another cheating boyfriend is about to be exposed and his poor girlfriend's heart will be broken. But that's the nature of her job as a professional honeytrapper – she tests other people's partners to see if they will do the dirty. Much like the Pied Piper, Livi lures in hundreds of rats, but instead of a pipe, a cheeky Instagram DM is her bait. Livi was so successful at exposing unfaithful boyfriends, she set up her own honeytrapping agency. She says, “I don't feel bad for breaking up relationships – I'm just revealing a cheater's true nature and, most of the time, the problems in the relationship started well before I got involved.” LOYALTY Livi, 20, from Cheshire, says, “Scrolling…

She's been living her best life since splitting from former hubby Paddy McGuinness, and last week, Christine McGuinness made her relationship status clear as she laughed off rumours she had found love again. ROCKED After heading to an event earlier this month and cosying up to Blue star Duncan James, joking she was on “date night”, fans began speculating over whether she really was dating the bisexual pop singer. But quickly shutting down the rumours, Christine, 35, explained, “Duncan's my friend. He's got a gorgeous partner and I love them both. I was only taking the p*ss when I said I was on a date. I don't like dates, I don't do dates – absolutely not.” And insiders reveal that, despite saying she's “open” to finding love again since splitting…

STRICTLY STARS Her ex-husband Neil Jones is expecting a baby with Love Island star Chyna Mills – and it's inspired Strictly's Katya Jones to find love again herself. Opening up about her single life, Katya, 33 – who split from fellow dancer Neil, 40, in 2019 – says, “I'm not dating anyone right now – but I'm constantly husband hunting!” Reflecting on her ideal man, Katya shares, “I'd like someone who can add value to my life and handle a selfsufficient woman. Someone who is caring and loving. That's all we want – unconditional love.’ Katya – who has starred on Strictly since 2016 – split from ex Neil, a year after she was pictured snogging celeb partner Seann Walsh, 37, who was also in a relationship at the time.…

He has no shortage of women falling at his feet, but Giovanni Pernice has revealed that being a professional dancer makes having a relationship “impossible.” Speaking to Spencer Matthews on his podcast, the Strictly champ, 32, said “When you're in competition, it's either you're in a relationship with your partner [or] you're just single and enjoy your time when you can. It's impossible sometimes, but that's the reason why most of the dance couples are together – because it's either this or nothing. And they stop dancing, and they break up straight away.” The comments come after his rumoured split from fellow Strictly champ Jowita Przystal, 28, – who won the last season of Strictly alongside Hamza Yassin, 33. Giovanni has also enjoyed romances with the likes of Love Island's…

She's set to celebrate her second sober anniversary this week after beating alcohol addiction during a tumultuous chapter of her life which saw her spend 28 days in rehab in a bid to turn her life around. And Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton admits she wakes up feeling a world away from the person she used to be. Michelle, 43, tells Closer, “My life is completely different. I don't wake up anymore with that feeling of fear that I'm going to need a drink. I have a clear conscience and excitement to start the day, and drink doesn't factor. I'm stronger mentally, and the physical benefits of getting sober have been insane. My energy levels have gone up and I've found the new me!” Despite overcoming her demons and rebuilding…

When someone is part of the A-list elite, it's sort of difficult to feel sorry for them – after all, they're almost always rich, good-looking, talented and successful. But dating woes is quite possibly the one thing that unites us mere mortals with superstars. In a recent interview, Chris Evans – star of Captain America – revealed that he's experienced something worse than ghosting while dating. He explained how knowing that someone is “pushing you aside casually” is more devastating. He said, “I feel I've experienced something much worse [than ghosting]. I think I'd prefer to be ghosted because you can make up any story you want. I've had the slow decline in text responses and you just know the person is pushing you aside casually.” I'd never quite thought…

I'm at my happiest when I'm with her.” Binky and JP had a turbulent two-and-a-half-year relationship on Made In Chelsea, splitting 15 months…

The past year has seen Alison Hammond catapulted to TV royalty in her This Morning presenting role – fast becoming a fan favourite and championed by viewers for her sense of humour and ability to relate to her audience. But while February saw the TV presenter's career peak when she hosted the BAFTAs as a presenter alongside Richard E Grant, Alison's rise to superstardom has more recently been plagued by personal turmoil. Last month she was forced to report a former friend, who had allegedly blackmailed her for thousands of pounds and threatened to “destroy” her reputation by leaking false stories. BACKLASH The ordeal came just two months after she had split from her boyfriend of two years, Ben Hawkins. And while she came back fighting, covering for Phillip Schofield…

But now, just three months on, Vicky Pattison has told fans that “things are going in the right direction”. Taking to Instagram to share a selection of photos last week – including scans of her ovaries, a video of Vicky injecting herself with hormones and one of her in tears – the reality star, 35, revealed she had attended a fertility clinic the previous day. She wrote, “I can't tell you how happy I was to be told I have chubby little ovaries. Probably the only time in my life I will be happy about being called chubby! But it basically means that the hormones…

Love dramas They are thought to have ended their six-month romance in February, when sources said it had “fizzled out”, but now insiders have confirmed that Gigi Hadid and Leonardo DiCaprio still “hang out and talk” when their busy schedules allow. However last week, Leo's own busy showbiz schedule led him to Coachella Music Festival, where he was photographed hanging out with another supermodel – Irina Shayk, 37. The pair were spotted together on two separate occasions over the weekend, with Leo, who insiders recently revealed wants to ditch his reputation for dating women under 25, never far from the model's side. In a cryptic Instagram post, uploaded just a day after the photographs of Leo and Irina emerged, Gigi reposted a picture of an elderly lady holding up a…

SEASON YOUR DAY “I really try to incorporate mini mindful moments into my routine. I like to call it seasoning the day – spicing up little moments throughout your day with small but effective bits of physical movement or actions for your mental health. For example, I'll set an alarm and work for 45 minutes, then I'll get up and make myself a nice cup of herbal tea, do some stretching while the kettle is boiling, and throw the window open, even when it's raining. When getting outside is out of the question, bring the outside in – walls, ceilings and enclosed spaces can leave us feeling closedminded! Another example is sometimes while I'm on a work call, I'll get off my chair and hold a squat for five minutes…

What to expect…? Once again, series eight is six very different stories. Some silly, some frightening, and some quite gory, which is something that we haven't done before. As always, there are lots of surprises, twists, and turns. Does it get harder coming up with brand-new ideas? Getting the ‘nine’ on something is the easiest part – and people always give us ideas, but the story and what happens, that's everything – and it is getting harder to come up with something that we haven't done before. We've got to be mindful that we're not repeating ourselves or doing the same story. That's the challenge. What's it like working with the guest stars? It was really nice to get a very quick and very enthusiastic ‘yes’ from Anita Dobson and…
