Whenever we hear of cruelty and abuse on a massive scale, it’s hard to believe we can have any influence. But that brilliant quote: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” reminds us of our collective power for good. This explains why countless online petitions are bringing about amazing changes worldwide. On page 29, we highlight a campaign against the barbaric trade in donkeys skinned alive for Chinese medicine. PLEASE read it and take a minute to help these beautiful, loyal creatures.…

They faced criticism last year for allowing their children to pursue careers in modelling and music – but sources say Posh and David are planning to make their brood even bigger stars in 2017. Sources say Cruz, 11 – who released his first single in December – will launch a solo album, while brother Romeo, 14, who has modelled for Burberry, is rumoured to be signing another contract with a high fashion label. A source reveals: “Victoria and David want to ensure their empire continues to grow. The children seem to be passionate about going into the entertainment and fashion industries and they really want to support them. “Victoria has also got David and the children involved in a secret project she’s hinted will propel Harper into the limelight, too.…

He caused controversy after recently hinting he could be the father of Stephanie Davis’ newborn baby boy. But speaking exclusively to Closer last week, Ex On The Beach star Joshua Ritchie denied he is the dad. However, he admitted he’s still in contact with his ex-girlfriend, 23. Josh, 22, says: “Steph knows that I am obviously not the father and I know that. I’ve spoken to her since all of this has come out and she was upset, but she is fine now.” Josh, who was linked to Stephanie last year, revealed in a recent interview he was worried “she could be turning up on my doorstep with the baby any time soon.” He tells Closer the comments were misinterpreted: “I don’t really know what happened and my words got…

Kourtney was snapped with on/off ex Scott Disick landing in Costa Rica with their three children – but sources say the family were left shocked after Scott jetted off to Miami and was pictured getting close to a string of girls two days later. Scott, 33, was seen enjoying a PDA with model J Lynne, before cuddling up to a mystery blonde woman on a sunbed. A source says: “Kim and Kris were livid with Scott, and called him ‘disrespectful and disruptive’ when they saw the pictures. Kourtney has grown used to his wild behaviour – but to run off with a bunch of models just days after the family holiday was below the belt and it upset her. She thinks he needs to grow up.”…

She’s kept a low profile over the past few months, sparking rumours of a pregnancy – and last week Beyoncé confirmed in typically dramatic fashion that she and husband Jay Z, 47, are expecting twins. Posing for a series of artistic snaps on her website, the Single Ladies singer, 35, announced: “We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two and we thank you for your well wishes.” Her Instagram announcement even broke a world record for most “liked” image on the social media site – over 8 million as Closer went to press. AFFAIR ALLEGATIONS Insiders tell Closer how the pregnancy will mark a fresh start for the couple –…

“I WAKE UP AT AROUND 6:15AM BEFORE GETTING PICKED UP BY A CAR AND DRIVEN TO THIS MORNING FOR WORK. I could be heading to any location in the UK to do coverage for them. I’ll have a banana and a bottle of water in the car on the way in, and do my make-up too. WE’LL ARRIVE AT A LOCATION ABOUT 9AM AND PREPARE FOR A LIVE BROADCAST. We go live at around 11.30am.

Jenny*, 53, from London, was devastated to discover her partner Paul*, 56, had been sleeping with their teenage au pair. She says: “I was stunned when Paul admitted he’d had an affair with our teenage au pair; it felt like the ultimate betrayal. He was 41 at the time and she was 19, which I found disgusting. I felt he’d taken advantage of her. “We’d decided to get an au pair because I was struggling. With four children, aged two to eight years, and Paul often working away as a builder, I needed help. “When we interviewed Kristina*, she was friendly and good with the children. She was also slim and attractive and looked a bit like me. But I didn’t feel threatened – I believed my relationship was secure.…

The former glamour model didn’t disappoint when she returned to CBB for a second stint, threatening to storm out on two occasions, and regularly sparring with Kim Woodburn and Jedward. And Nicola McLean initially dominated headlines for her flirtatious behaviour with Jamie O’Hara – something that prompted her to question whether her footballer husband, Tom Williams, was going to “hate her.” But it was her constant clashing with Kim and singing twins Jedward that overshadowed her stay in the house. BRANDED A BULLY Nicola, 35, who’s battled eating disorders and anxiety in the past, was dubbed a “little b***h” by Kim and later branded a “bully” – something that had a marked impact on her. Nicola said in the diary room: “Jedward just try to dig at you and try…

‘It was like losing my virginity all over again’ After giving birth to three children, Sarah Burge was concerned she’d ruined her vagina. So three years ago, she underwent an hour-long operation to have it tightened and her labia trimmed. The procedure cost £5,000 but Sarah, 56, couldn’t be happier with the results and thinks it’s helped to keep her marriage of 13 years – to businessman, Tony Burge, 56 – alive. She says: “I’d had three children and I felt everything had gone slack and loose, and my labia were sort of flapping around. “I didn’t feel attractive down below and it put me off having sex. I think you need to feel fully confident to really enjoy being intimate and I wasn’t, so although we still had sex…

‘It’s part of my rebranding – I feel like a new woman’ Gemma Collins revealed that she had undergone surgery to get a “designer vagina” on TOWIE in March 2015. The reality TV star, 36, proudly boasted that she’d paid £2k for the treatment to “neaten up” her private parts, which involved having her vagina tightened through lasering and getting her labia trimmed. Speaking on the show while having a bikini wax, she told co-star and friend Bobby Norris: “I actually pride myself – I’m mega confident, because I know I’ve got a designer vagina. It looks like something you’d see in a movie.” Bobby, who’s gay, admired the results. “I’ve never seen anything that looks so perfect,” he told her. “It’s like a new penny! That’s £2k well spent.…

She recently announced her engagement to her entrepreneur beau George Smart, and pals say Lisa Snowdon won’t be holding back on her wedding plans after waiting until the age of 45 to settle down. The radio presenter and model – who famously had a five-year on/off relationship with Hollywood actor George Clooney before splitting from him for good in 2005 – has told pals how she wants a no-expenses-spared wedding, which she says will be “the party of the year.” A source says: “Lisa’s been waiting a long time to find The One, so she wants to celebrate with a huge, all-out wedding, and has told all her I’m A Celeb! camp mates she wants them to be there to celebrate with her.” Lisa first met her fiancé 15 years…

She’s endured a number of battles over the years, including anorexia, depression and alopecia – but TV presenter Gail Porter recently revealed she’s fallen on hard times again after being made bankrupt two weeks ago. Opening up about her situation, Gail, 45, candidly tells Closer: “I’ve struggled in life and gone through just about everything – and now this. The truth is, I don’t have an income to support myself. I cried when my bankruptcy was made official but the worst bit about it is that I just feel really embarrassed.” Gail, whose bankruptcy was confirmed two weeks ago at London’s High Court, is estimated to owe a six-figure amount in tax arrears. But she’s determined to get back on track. She says: “There was a part of me that…

‘I’m just a normal guy with a slightly abnormal job’ His action-man status and chiselled good looks have made him a sex symbol to millions of women – but Bear Grylls proudly reveals that even after many years of marriage, his wife Shara is still the love of his life. “I’ve been married 16 years and it’s better than ever,” says the TV explorer. “I think that the key in any relationship is prioritising. We both have extremely busy lives but work always comes second.” The 42-year-old thrill-seeker has presented his own TV shows, written bestselling books and regularly rubs shoulders – both professionally and socially – with A-list celebrities. Last year, for instance, he mentored the likes of Courteney Cox, Nick Jonas and Mel B on a wilderness expedition…

TRICKS OF THE TRADE Make-up artists are always creating exciting new looks, so get ready for the latest beauty trick: “draping.” It’s contouring with natural-looking blusher rather than heavy bronzer. Sweep a powder blush in a “C” shape from your temple to your cheek apples. Follow by dusting a lighter shade of blush just below the eyes to create a gentle highlight. You’ll be left with more definition and a pared-back flush.…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… Around £3 a week when I was seven – I’d spend it on sweets. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Stacking shelves in Sainsbury’s and I was always so cold! I SPENT MY FIRST PAY CHEQUE ON... I remember sitting in a pub near the old BBC headquarters and I got a notification that my first ever TV cheque had cleared, which meant I officially worked in TV. I bought everyone a round! MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS... I recently bought an electric car. I live in London so I don’t need it, but with two kids it’s a beautiful luxury. EVER MADE A FINANCIAL MISTAKE? I had a credit card at uni and racked up a £3,000 debt on nothing. I spent a year paying it off.…

‘Kieran feels he’s been made to look a fool’ You’d think there was little more that Jordan could do to shock, but fans were left opened-mouthed once again when her former fiancé, Leandro Penna, claimed she secretly spent the night with Simon Cowell – something they both deny. In an explosive interview last week, Argentinian Leandro, 31, claimed that while they were dating during 2011-2012, Jordan – aka Katie Price – sneaked to the music mogul’s London mansion “dressed like a provocative hooker” and didn’t return home until the next day. And that after reading flirty texts between them, he confronted her about it. She denied it, which led to the breakdown of their 18-month relationship in October 2012. Leandro said: “I was really suspicious… In the end I told…

PAULA HAMILTON, 1977 The model grew up with Cowell and described him as “funny and rebellious.” JACKIE ST CLAIR, LATE ’70s After dating in the late ’70s, Simon and the model are still friends.

He has become famous for being a ladies’ man and causing chaos during his appearances on Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother last year. But despite his mischievous personality, Stephen Bear admits he has a soft spot for ex-Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby, who he has repeatedly been romantically linked to over the past few months. Since they began filming their new MTV UK show Just Tattoo Of Us, the reality stars have sent the rumour mill into overdrive after posting cosy photos of themselves on social media. Last week, Stephen, 27, Snapchatted a picture of the pair in bed together and posted a picture of them wearing matching jumpers on Instagram. CELEB GIRLFRIEND But while Stephen tells Closer he’s currently single and steering clear of celebrity girlfriends…

‘Lauren wants to have the perfect body for Joey’ After revealing she’d love a “big wedding” with her convict boyfriend Joey Morrison, Lauren Goodger has told pals her dream man is helping her get in shape for their big day. Insiders say 30-year-old Lauren, who’s been dating Joey for six months, plans to marry him in a lavish ceremony once he’s finished serving part of an 18-year prison sentence for offences including burglary and drug dealing – and believes he may be released in only a matter of months. As Closer previously reported, the reality star is so besotted with her criminal lover she was even willing to marry him behind bars, though now her sights are firmly set on a traditional white wedding. Last week the 5ft 6 TOWIE…

He’s an award-winning pop star with nine Grammys under his belt, a curly-topped heartthrob and a Hollywood film star to boot, yet Justin Timberlake, 36, reveals being a dad to 21-month-old son Silas is the best role ever. Revealing what family life is like at home, he says: “Being a dad changes everything – I’m mostly just a very tired dad! My family makes me happy; making music makes me happy. I’m a golf nerd, so golf makes me happy. I love to be outside. I like snowboarding and the beach. “I love pasta and doughnuts. Basically all I do is eat; I really love to eat. But the top things that make me happy are my wife and my son.” Although he reckons he’s got a few more years…

CLOSER PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “A nanny is in a unique scenario; they often become a part of the family and this means they can develop a closeness with the father, who they spend a lot of time with at home. Men may feel they can confide in a nanny and this can lead to an emotional, as well as physical, connection, too. They may also come to see a relationship with a nanny as a ready-made family – they’re good with children, so they may view them as a mother figure as well as a partner. Often men are attracted to nannies because they are usually significantly younger, naturally caring and nurturing, and appear trustworthy.”…

Animal lover Jenny Frost, 38, says: “I’m horrified to hear donkeys are being treated so cruelly for the sake of some beauty products. They’re such beautiful, gentle animals and an important part of communities; it’s devastating to think they’re being brutally killed for an unnecessary and barbaric trade. No animals should be treated like this – it’s important people get behind the Under The Skin campaign and show support by signing the petition.”…

After a lifetime of body hang-ups, Bianca Gascoigne appeared to have put her demons behind her when she lost a stone before her stint on Celebrity Big Brother. Speaking to Closer just before entering the house, the size 8 glamour model opened up about how she was feeling confident about being in the spotlight again, saying: “For the first time in ages I’m content. They say life begins at 30 and I finally feel I’m in a good place.” But despite getting back her body confidence, the star suffered an emotional knock in the house following her closeness with Jamie O’Hara. Their cosy romance exploded when it emerged she was secretly dating cage fighter CJ Meeks. While she was still in the CBB house, CJ was snapped moving out of…

VICKY, 41, FROM OXFORDSHIRE SAYS: “I wish I’d never had labiaplasty, it was a huge mistake. I had the operation after I split with my ex-boyfriend and my confidence was at rock bottom. “I’d always felt self-conscious about how my vagina looked as one of my lips was about half an inch longer than the other, although no boyfriend had ever commented on it. But when I parted with my ex in 2010, after a year together, I felt very conscious that I’d have to hit the dating scene again. And with the rise of social media and selfies, there is now more emphasis than ever on your looks. Even men I met online asked for naked photos. It felt like there was a lot of pressure to look ‘porn-star…

DANNIELLA WESTBROOK: ‘It doesn’t hurt at all – I live streamed it!’ So commonplace has the “designer vagina” become that Danniella Westbrook even took to social media app Snapchat while having the process – joking that it was a “snatchchat.” The ex- EastEnders actress, 43, and mum of two opted not to have surgery and instead had laser treatment, which involves inserting a laser 4-6cms into the vaginal wall, to tighten her vagina. The procedure, which she had in December, took just 20 minutes. She live streamed it, showing herself entering the clinic, then filmed during the actual procedure, saying: “The thing is, when you’re having this laser done, this designer vagina, you think it’s going to really hurt. It doesn’t. I’m currently having my treatment now, it don’t hurt.”…

COURTENEY COX “She was absolutely terrified from start to finish. She had a particularly tricky time because she was subjected to a very bad menu – lunch was a stuffed sheep-testicle sack. She said she suffered post-traumatic stress disorder afterwards!” BEN STILLER “Ben was most surprising. All the characters he plays are loud and hilarious people, but he was really shy! We had terrible weather – horizontal wind and rain – and he was really nervous, but he did a great job.” KATE WINSLET “Kate was absolutely amazing – I expected her to be different, but she was really feisty and up for it. All the girls tend to outshine the boys, really! But Kate was especially fun, with a great attitude. ”…

‘A lacy black set is both sexy and sophisticated’ MIX AND MATCH SIZES Forget about the numbers. You may wear a size 14, but if you’re bottom-heavy, a size 16 pant may sit better on your bum. If you’re size 16 and top-heavy, a 12 or 14 may be more flattering. DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO SHOW OFF Focus on the parts of you that you love and shop for lingerie that highlights them. It doesn’t have to be ultra-skimpy: high-waisted pants can look super sexy, especially in a silk or satin fabric . So go bold and go big! COVER UP CORRECTLY Lace and sheer styles are hot right now, so avoid slips with a good nipple cover. We love Perfection’s reusable silicone nipple covers: perfect for a smoothed-down…

TV’s Sarah Willingham reveals how to take control of your finances & make the most of your cash “I’ve been a self-employed complementary therapist for 14 years but, after having my son Oscar, seven, I developed stiffness in my hands and can’t do hands-on physical therapy. “I now blog about health and run therapy workshops online – but I’m unsure if I should do them in person instead. I’d prefer to do that in London than Cambridge to drum up more business, but it’s hard working this option around a child. Also, it costs hundreds to hire a premises. “My husband Shaun, 41, has a steady job on £26k; we rent but want to save for a deposit. I need to put money into my business, but I’m torn between…

Despite our more liberal attitudes towards sex, the one-night stand debate rages on. New research shows 35 per cent of women and 20 per cent of men have regretted casual sex, but that means plenty have also had fantastic nights of passion. It comes down to choice. Two consenting adults having no-strings sex can make both parties feel fantastic, as long as one-night stand etiquette is employed. Here are the dos and don’ts of a brief encounter… CASUAL SEX: THE GROUND RULES • BE SURE Consider if you truly want what’s on offer. It’s far healthier to walk away from a one-night stand than to wake up feeling regretful. • GOOD JUDGEMENT Alcohol can lower your inhibitions and give you confidence, but it can also skew your judgement. Only have…

I did my first shoot abroad for the Christmas special in Cape Town and it’s an insanely happy cast – we’re all good friends. We have amazing stories to tell and I feel lucky to be part of such a strong and successful female-led drama. The amount of men who say to me: “You’re in Call The Midwife, aren’t you?”, before adding: “My wife watches it…” Barbara has just got engaged to Tom on the show. Do you think they make a good couple? Yes, I do. It’s exciting to see what’s going to…

127 HOURS MAN CUTS ARM OFF SUN 12 FEB, 11PM, C4 After exploring a remote canyon in Utah by himself (accident waiting to happen and all that), Aron Ralston (James Franco) becomes trapped when a boulder falls on his arm. Over the next five days (five!) he stands there, wondering what to do. To amputate or not to amputate… And it’s based on a true story! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN CON ARTIST TRUE STORY SUN 12 FEB, 5.45PM, BBC2 Leonardo DiCaprio is fab in this as Frank Abagnale Jr. who, just before his 19th birthday, successfully manages to pass himself off as a Pan Am pilot, doctor and legal prosecutor (as you do), conning millions of dollars out of people in the process.

She’s made no secret of her love for cosmetic procedures, but plastic surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe, who’s worked with celebrities including Chantelle Houghton, says Jordan is at risk of going too far. Mark says: “Jordan is in danger of turning into Catwoman. She’s bloated herself with so much filler in her cheeks and lips that she’s becoming freakish-looking. It also looks like she’s had an eye procedure where the tissues at either corner of the eye are tightened, creating an upward slant and a more taut support under the eyelid, making her look more cat-like. If she carries on as she is, she could end up looking like ‘Catwoman’ Jocelyn Wildenstein.”…

‘She’s fed up with the constant digs’ Their 18-year marriage has been subject to its fair share of drama over the years and it was thrown back into the spotlight last week when David Beckham opened up about the “tough times” he’s been through with wife Victoria. Now insiders say mum-of-four Posh, 42, has been left angry by fresh speculation over the state of her marriage. It was sparked after David, 41, revealed how they recently renewed their wedding vows in a private ceremony at home. The revelation created an online backlash – with some doubters accusing the couple of simply staying together to make more money, while others suggested the marriage was in big trouble. One online comment read: “If you haven’t broken them, then no need to renew…

She’s rumoured to be nearing the end of her pregnancy, and now insiders say Cheryl’s best pal and mum-of-two Kimberley Walsh wants to make her introduction to motherhood as smooth as possible. While Cheryl, 33, has remained tight-lipped during her pregnancy, Kimberley, 35, openly showed off her delight at the arrival of her second son, Cole, in a series of pictures and videos on social media. And pals say that Kimberley – who’s also mum to Bobby, two, with her husband Justin Scott, 34 – has warned her friend not to isolate herself once the baby comes. A source says: “Kimberley’s watched Cheryl hibernate during her pregnancy. She doesn’t want her to become lonely when the baby’s born and has stressed the importance of having a support network. “While she…

The Kardashian sisters showed off the results of their extreme diet and exercise regimes by exposing every inch of their super-toned bodies on holiday in Costa Rica last week. But insiders say that what was meant to be a relaxing family break for their reality show ended up being ruined by explosive showdowns and jealous rows as the competition over their figures threatened to tear them apart. BARELY SPEAKING Insiders tell Closer how the bitter fallout began on the first night of the holiday when Kim, 36, stepped out in an ab-revealing crop-top, which her older sister, Kourtney, 37, then copied to show off her equally toned stomach. A source says: “Kim was fuming when Kourtney decided on a last-minute outfit change after seeing Kim’s abs exposed. She accused her…

GAVIN ROSSDALE Nanny Mindy Mann allegedly had a three-year affair with Gavin Rossdale, 51, which was blamed for wrecking his 13-year marriage to No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani, 47, who she strongly resembled. The affair was said to have been discovered in 2015, however it was reported Gavin dismissed it as a “brief flirtation” at the time. Mindy later had a daughter with a new partner. JUDE LAW The 44-year-old actor issued a public apology to his then-fiancé Sienna Miller, 35, in July 2005 after he had an affair with his children’s then 26-year-old nanny Daisy Wright. The Hollywood star said: “I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I’ve hurt Sienna and the people most close to us. There is no defence for my actions,…

The caused shockwaves on Celebrity Big Brother after she revealed she was dating three guys at once, admitting: “Two of them know I’m seeing three of them, but the other one doesn’t.” But single mum-of-three Jessica Cunningham tells Closer that despite the backlash over her confession, she remains defiant about her unusual love life.

I’m going to continue doing what I’m doing because it’s fun and I’m not harming anybody. “I was open and honest about the situation with the guys. I’m not ready for any commitment, I haven’t got…

Following his shock eviction from the house, footballer Jamie O’Hara wasted no time in living it up as a single man. Last week, he was seen partying at strip clubs two nights in a row – first with Calum Best, then with James and Ola Jordan plus Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. Reports later claimed that 30-year-old Jamie “disappeared into his hotel” with a mystery woman. But in one of his first interviews on leaving CBB Jamie admitted he’d like to get serious with Bianca Gascoigne – who he grew close to in the house. He said: “She’s someone I definitely want to have in my life, she’s an amazing person. She’s definitely wifey material, for sure.” Even Jamie’s former wife Danielle Lloyd appeared to give her blessing to his…

CLOSER THERAPIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “Recently I worked with a woman who was convinced the reason she wasn’t happy was because her vagina was ugly. It’s extraordinary the importance we’re now placing on our vaginas and wanting ‘Barbie vaginas’ that are flat and neat. And let’s face it, fashion changes – in the ’70s, a full bush was encouraged, now it’s a pre-pubescent look. We seem to be following the porn industry and I wish people would remember that it is an unrealistic view of how women really look. “I wish there wasn’t so much pressure for women to be perfect on the outside, let alone the hidden bits too. I for one am happy with my vagina and indeed I’m pleased that it’s individual. Women need…

They’ve been forced to deny yet more split reports, but insiders tell Closer how Jennifer Aniston is blaming her husband Justin Theroux for fuelling the most recent divorce rumours, which are placing pressure on their relationship. Pals say the 47-year-old actress is upset over the increasing amount of time Justin, 45, has been spending in New York – away from their LA home – which she fears is contributing to the rumour mill plaguing their 18-month marriage. A source says: “ Long distance has always been something Jen and Justin have contended with. But despite Justin promising to permanently move to LA for Jen, he’s always kept his New York apartment and has been spending more and more time there, in between filming The Leftovers, which makes it seem as…

She’s always been petite but, after sparking concern in 2014 when she was pictured looking worryingly thin, Stephanie Waring tells Closer she’s now happier and healthier than ever. The actress, 38, spiralled into a unhealthy lifestyle after learning in 2014 that her friend and fellow soap star Kym Marsh had started dating her ex, personal trainer Dan Hooper, just six weeks after their five-year relationship ended. Stephanie – who has Mia, 11, from a previous relationship and Lexi-Grace, six, with Dan – saw her weight plummet. She shrunk to a size 6, prompting fans to express their concern, but she later admitted she’d had a wakeup call and taken charge of her health. Although much happier now, she does still battle with her body image, revealing: “As I’ve got older…

Whether it’s soft and feathery or a heavy blunt cut, a fringe can limit your hairstyle options – but actress Jessica Biel shows us how to disguise those pesky shorter strands with a clever side-sweep. Blow-dry your locks to one side, so they naturally sit where you’d like them to be. Brush through a hint of sheer gel to give extra hold, then take a section of longer hair from the opposite side of your parting and layer it over the top. Tuck the ends behind the ear and fix with a couple of hair grips before spritzing with hairspray. Tie the rest of your hair in a low ponytail or bun and you have a new style without waiting for your fringe to grow out.…

New stats reveal children are eating half their recommended sugar intake by 9am. We adults aren’t much better, and the dangers are staggering. Too much sugar leads to weight gain, which increases your chance of heart disease, Type-2 diabetes, cancer and strokes. The guidelines say we should only get 5 per cent of our total calories from sugar, but that’s meaningless to most of us. If you’re trying to cut your sugar intake, be aware it’s lurking in places you might not expect... WATCH ‘HEALTHY’ CEREALS Children aged four to six should have 19g (5tsps) a day, seven to 11 year olds 24g (6tsps) and anyone 11 or older 30g (7tsps). Just one big bowl of breakfast cereal with an orange juice can get you most of the way there.…

What’s your biggest fear? I’m scared of staying stagnant. To me, life is about experiences, adventure and having fun. What’s your worst habit? I have a tendency to overanalyse everything. What animal would you be and why? A cheetah because they’re feisty and fabulous. Ever had a near-death experience? I was driving with my mum when a bolt of lightning nearly hit our car.

We hear Tracy is writing a raunchy novel…? She wants to prove that she’s not a dumb blonde, so she has started a book club. But she struggles reading other people’s books and decides to write her own. The subject she probably knows most about is sex, so she writes a racy novel. But there’s not enough story, so Pearl (age 80) steps in to help with the plot! How rude is it? We hear Tracy speaking into a dictaphone as the female character talking to a man.

My other half, Bradley [Jaden], will be in…
