Earlier this year, Claire Sweeney revealed her incredible 2st weight loss after revamping her diet and fitness regime. Despite her impressive transformation, the actress admits she still wanted to tone up her middle. It’s a problem area for many of us – that annoying jiggly little pouch that stubbornly refuses to shift. Well, take heart, because Claire says that at 46 and after giving birth, she’s finally discovered the belly-busting secret – and you can, too! Turn to p29 for her simple-yet-effective flat tummy plan. Meanwhile, if you’re feeling fed up as the nights draw in, let us help you shrug off the autumn gloom. On p52 we’ve got inspiration to give your wardrobe a vibrant makeover, and check out our pick of the latest home trends on p59 –…

She couldn’t escape the headlines during his dramatic trial last week, as Ferne McCann’s ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins was in court over an acid attack in a London nightclub earlier this year. And friends say it has thrown up fresh turmoil for pregnant Ferne, who doesn’t know what to think as more details of the night emerged. Ferne’s world fell apart in April, when her then-boyfriend Arthur, whom she’d been dating since last year, was arrested. And now sources close to the star – who immediately called time on their romance and is due to give birth to their child next month – say she’s more torn than ever over the state of their relationship. A source says, “Ferne’s always wanted to keep things amicable between her and Arthur for the…

She’s suffered a turbulent relationship with Simon Cowell in the past and they reportedly fell out last year when her toyboy boyfriend Liam Payne angered him by signing to a rival record label. But, as Closer previously reported, Cheryl and Simon got their relationship back on track after she invited him to her home for dinner. She also recently joined him in France to film Judges’ Houses for The X Factor. And pals reveal Simon, 58, told Cheryl – who welcomed son Bear with Liam, 23, in March – to put having another baby before relaunching her career. A source reveals, “Simon’s told Cheryl to concentrate on building her family with Liam and not be worried about taking a break from her career. He doesn’t think she realises how much…

Her two-month relationship with boyfriend James English has been plagued with rumours of arguments and break-ups and, last week, Kerry Katona was said to be devastated after the comedian went on a Scottish TV show and called the troubled star “f*** ed up.” During the bizarre interview, James, 33, also spoke about the size of his manhood, saying that he was “packing” and that Kerry was “smiling.” He jokily added that he was using Kerry for her fame and said, “We’ve got a bit of casual sex. That’s all it is,” but later admitted that he was smitten with the former singer, saying, “It’s love, yes, I’m in love with her.” Insiders say the stress of Kerry’s latest turbulent relationship has taken its toll on her, amid claims she was…

 This time last year Claire Sweeney was covering up her tummy in baggy clothes. But now, posing confidently in a bikini for Closer’s shoot in Majorca, Claire says she’s thrilled with her newly toned figure, after losing 2st. ‘Wearing a bikini feels fantastic now’ “If you’d have told me a year ago that I’d be here doing a bikini shoot, 2st lighter and feeling really toned, I’d have kissed you,” she laughs. “It seemed so impossible before, I’d just got used to being bigger and accepted it. But wearing a bikini feels fantastic now.” Mum-of-one Claire, 46 – who’s 5ft 8 and now weighs 10st – admits that on a sunshine break last year, she covered up on the beach and wouldn’t even be seen in gym-wear in public. “I…

 When Tracy Kiss underwent vaginal reconstructive surgery, it marked the end to a life of longterm suffering – and she wanted to have something to remind her of the pain she’d overcome. ‘ MY LABIA PENDANT IS BRIGHT & CHEERFUL – IT’S A UNIQUE TALKING POINT’ So, shockingly, the mum of two from Buckinghamshire asked her surgeon to keep the inner lips of her vagina, which she’s now turned into a necklace. The 29 year old says, “I know keeping body parts might not be to everybody’s taste, but I keep my children’s milk teeth and locks of hair – it’s the same thing.” Single Tracy, a former glamour model, suffered extreme discomfort from her protruding labia her whole adult life. She says, “It looked normal and no one had…

PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE “We’re going to have our first mixed race princess. Meghan brings a modern edge to the Royals and she’s got no intention of jacking in her career. I reckon she’ll still be an actress, but more on the London stage.” BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE “There are rumours that they’re getting back together. Sadly, they are still going through the divorce process so it’s unlikely – but crazier things have happened.” JEREMY MEEKS AND CHLOE GREEN “She’s blatantly using him for publicity and he wants her money… a match made in heaven. They’re getting no attention whatsoever in the US. No one cares.”…

GET HER LOOK FERGIE, 42 The singer nailed off-duty style in this casual ensemble. She rocked Prince of Wales print trousers with a bright red blouse, while a neck scarf gave it a ’50s twist. Recreate her look with these high-street hits… WHO WORE IT BEST? TALLIA STORM VS BELLA HADID Singer Tallia and supermodel Bella both worked the red carpet in this daring Dior sheer dress. While Bella gave the mesh frock a rock-chick spin with dramatic dark eyeliner, a messy updo and a black choker, Tallia opted for a classic look with loose waves and minimal make-up. VERDICT: Although we love Tallia’s oh-so-pretty take on the gown, we’re handing the crown to Bella this week. Her sequin micro bag and ’90s styling gave the outfit a winning girlie-yet-grungy…

‘WE MUST STOP SCARING OLDER MOTHERS’ A top midwife has hit out at medics for overstating the risks of later motherhood. Dr Christian agrees we need some perspective Recently, the CEO of the Royal College Of Midwives, Cathy Warwick, said of women having children later in life, “I’m not sure why we’re so worried about age and I’m not sure we should be terrifying women about it.” I agree. There are some increased risks of late motherhood, but we know what they are and we know how to manage them. Women have been having babies later and later for decades without problems. Cathy went on to say that even if you have your baby at 42 or 45, it’s a relatively small increase in risk if you’re “otherwise healthy.” She’s…

Since publicly accusing husband Kieran Hayler of having a year-long affair with their nanny Nikki Brown – which she denies – in August, Jordan has gone out of her way to humiliate him at any opportunity possible. The mum-of-five – who showed off a new brunette look last week – has allowed crowds to hurl abusive insults at him during her speaking tour, and even Tweeted about her desire to join a dating app – despite continuing to be seen with him in public. But it now appears that Jordan’s vengeful tactics could be driving Kieran away, after it was claimed that he’s back in touch with his ex, model Laura-Alicia Summer. The former Ex On The Beach star revealed last week that she’d splashed out £250,000 on surgery in…

Hollywood may appear to be reeling from the news of Weinstein’s behaviour, but British model and actress Lady Victoria Hervey insists the casting couch is nothing new. The 41 year old moved to LA in 2003 and became friends with the film guru and his wife Georgina through the showbiz circuit. Speaking exclusively to Closer, she says, “These allegations are nothing new. Everyone has known for a long time that dodgy things go on in Hollywood. It’s not just Harvey who gets up to this sort of thing; there are so many rumours about other directors, managers and producers.” She adds, “Harvey has always been friendly to me. But he could be intimidating at Hollywood events. A lot of these big directors and producers were nerds at school, so, now…

She finally called time on her tumultuous 18-month relationship with Jeremy McConnell in July – putting the cheating allegations, social media rants and violent bust-ups firmly behind her. And three months on, it seems Stephanie Davis has stuck to her word and laid the toxic relationship to rest – as reports emerged last week that she was dating former TOWIE star and ex-boyfriend of Jess Wright, Ricky Rayment, with sources saying they’ve been “ ” and it was “going well.” The pair first sparked rumours of a romance earlier this month when they exchanged flirty posts on Twitter. And friends say that the former Hollyoaks star, 24, is wary of letting her guard down again after her traumatic experience with Jeremy, with whom she has nine-month-old son Caben. A source…

She’s been gearing up to relaunch her singing career and released her comeback single last month. And now Nadine Coyle, 32, admits that she’d love to make music with close friend and former Girls Aloud band member Sarah Harding – and adds that she thoroughly approves of her pal’s romance with CBB star Chad Johnson. Speaking at the Specsavers Spectacle Wearer Of The Year Awards, Nadine tells Closer, “I’d love to duet with Sarah. We sang together for years in the band, so why not? If we’re allowed to, I’d love to. “I’ve not seen her since CBB, but I will be seeing her soon. I think Chad’s a good egg – a very good-looking egg, too! Sarah always likes a nice good-looking guy so I think they may be…

 For years, fur has been hitting the headlines as the most controversial material lurking in winter wardrobes – but a recent investigation has found that other coats may not be as animal-friendly as they seem. ‘THE BIRDS HAVE THEIR FEET BOUND TOGETHER AND ARE PLUCKED BARE’ Puffer jackets, popularised by celebrities such as Rihanna and Bella Hadid, are a major trend for this season. But they’re usually made from live-plucked or slaughtered birds. Live-plucking involves ripping feathers out of geese before using them in items such as jackets, sleeping bags and bedding. The birds have their feet bound together and are put in chokeholds to keep them still before being plucked. They then run back bleeding and screeching in pain to their flocks. SLAUGHTERED Many geese die during the painful…

She looked incredible as she soaked up the sunshine in Dubai last week, showcasing her blossoming bump in a black two-piece. But model Abbey Clancy – who’s thought to be due in January – insists she’s embracing her shape and hasn’t been worrying about her diet. The star – who’s mum to Sophia, six, and Liberty, two, with husband Peter Crouch – says, “I try not to get too hung up about my body changing because it’s natural and I think it’s a healthy sign if you’re growing a baby.” Asked whether she’s following a healthy diet, she laughs, “No, definitely not. I’m embracing the pregnancy. I’ve just had two custard croissants!” The 31 year old – who is head judge on Britain’s Next Top Model – admits her third…

MY SPEEDY BELLY BLITZ 1 AVOID FIZZY DRINKS AND COFFEE I love them both, but limiting them does help avoid bloating. 2 WORK YOUR ABS Even if you have a bit of a wobbly mum-tum, as long as the muscles are firm underneath, it helps the area look toned. 3 KEEP A FOOD DIARY Losing weight helps your stomach look flatter, so watching your calorie intake is important. Keeping a diary stops mindless eating. I was picking at Jaxon’s leftovers without even thinking about it. 4 BE AWARE Foods like beans, onions and broccoli can all cause bloating. Be aware of your body and what causes you to bloat. 5 LIFT WEIGHTS Strength training speeds up the metabolism and helps you burn more calories. HOW TO DO IT: 1. LEG…

As he cradled his ten-month-old daughter Mabel while out with wife Laura Gallacher last week, Russell Brand looked a world away from his partying days. And the 42-year-old comedian – who recently joked about Mabel, saying she was “beautiful, vindictive and vicious” – admits in his new book, Recovery: Freedom From Our Addictions, that he could have done with a gentler transition into his new life. He said, “The change from not having a baby to having a baby is too radical to be taken in one almighty leap. It should be handled in instalments. I’ve heard new fathers say, ‘I never knew such love was in me,’ but I’ve always known, I just wasn’t sure what to do with it.” After reportedly seeing each other on and off since…

GEMMA & GORKA KEEP ‘ROMANCE’ LOW KEY The pair have faced rumours that they’re secretly dating It’s a show notorious for creating breakups and sparking new romances, and this year is proving to be no different, after reports that actress Gemma Atkinson is dating Strictly professional dancer Gorka Marquez. Gushing about the actress last week, Gorka, 27 – who is partnered with singer Alexandra Burke on this year’s series – said they were just friends, adding, “We hang out and do some workouts and I think she’s beautiful.” But sources say the pair are doing their best to keep things discreet, and have enjoyed a string of secret meet-ups. A source says, “Gemma and Gorka genuinely like each other. They want to fly under the radar and see what happens.…

Most of us wouldn’t leave the house without a spritz of our favourite perfume, but what is it about fragrances that make such an impact, and is it really worth saving up for a bottle of designer EDT? With celebs launching signature smells and fashion brands releasing fragrances, we get the facts from a master perfumer. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Andreas advises, “If you’re looking for a longer-lasting finish, it’s all about the strength of perfume oils. The less alcohol and more oils in a scent, the more likely it is to linger. Ingredients like Oud or Orris are linked to higher quality products, and are worth spending more on as each spritz will last a while. Another clue to look for is the quality of the bottle – if…

EXERCISE Walking, swimming, cycling, dance, yoga and Pilates all help, and stretching daily makes a huge difference. SUPPLEMENTS Vitamin B12, Evening Primrose Oil, omega-3 and vitamin D can ease pain – consult your GP first, though. ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES Try relaxation, meditation or hypnosis CBT (talking therapy). Acupuncture has been shown to relieve back and neck pain and osteoarthritis. EAT RIGHT Inflammation can cause chronic pain. Fight it with citrus fruits, leafy greens, tomatoes and salmon. Get fibre from wholemeal carbs and veg, and cut back on alcohol, caffeine, sugar and fried foods.

I’M GRATEFUL FOR EXPERIENCING REJECTION When I was modelling in my early twenties, I was always told that black girls wouldn’t sell magazines. I’d agree to pose for numerous front covers only to discover I’d been dropped at the last minute. I remember bursting into tears and feeling very rejected. When I was younger, I wasn’t too confident in myself and I took it quite personally. Times have changed, and I feel lucky to have experienced rejection early on, because it toughened me up. PAIN IS ONLY TEMPORARY I’ve experienced loss [June’s brother Sam, 40, committed suicide in 2015] and I’ve learned that you have to take every day as it comes, because you never know what the future holds. When you have the good times, cherish them and don’t…

1 STRANGER THINGS FINALLY HERE FRI 27 OCT, NETFLIX Series one was of course amazing, and this time we’re promised “bigger and darker” episodes, with all the main cast back – including Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, plus child actress Sadie Sink joining as a “tomboy with a complicated history.” There are nine parts (being released all at once – scream!), with the action taking place in 1984, a year on from last time, so several things have happened, like Will has returned...

The three-part show follows the man who masterminded the 1605 plot to blow up Parliament – and you play his cousin, Anne Vaux… My agent called saying she had “this incredible script,” and then the team were like, “Oh by the way, it starts filming in two weeks. Can you do an English accent?” Thank God I’ve done one a few times before in films like The Lord Of The Rings, so I got together with my dialect coaches and I discovered there was an English voice still in there! I said I would love to be part of it, then I got on the train to Leeds and there I was in a ruff and full 17th Century costume as Lady Anne… What was life like on set? Gunpowder…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS, “Up to now, Jordan is used to being the one in control in her marriage to Kieran, despite the fact he’s reportedly cheated on her several times. “Jordan tries to exert control over the state of their relationship by mocking and belittling Kieran in public – but deep down I suspect she’s terrified of him rejecting her. “Now Kieran’s ex has come forward and revealed she wants him back – we could soon see the power start shifting in Kieran’s direction. “Years of failed marriages and betrayals have left Jordan hugely insecure and, despite the tough exterior, she’ll be terrified at the thought of losing Kieran to a younger model.”…

 He’s infamous for his controlling behaviour – in the past he’s even thrown out some of his wife Kim Kardashian’s clothes and sworn at her personal trainer to achieve better results. ‘ KIM KNOWS HE’S JUST BEING PROTECTIVE, BUT THINKS HE’S GETTING TOO ANXIOUS ABOUT IT ALL’ Now insiders say Kanye West is sparing no expense with the couple’s surrogate, who is reportedly six months pregnant with their third child. ULTIMATE SUPPORT Sources say the rapper, 40, is in regular contact with the surrogate – who is believed to be a married college graduate with two kids of her own – and has provided her with a team of world class nutritionists and health and fitness experts to ensure she has the best care throughout the pregnancy. A source reveals,…

‘ SOME DAYS THE DEMONS IN MY HEAD WOULD GET THE BETTER OF ME’ She shot to fame as the happy-go-lucky star of Gogglebox before hitting the big time last year when she won I’m A Celeb! and released a top-selling fitness DVD after losing 3st. But success seems to have taken its toll on Scarlett Moffat’s private life, after it appeared her relationship with boyfriend Luke Crodden had hit the rocks yet again last week, just four months after they reconciled following a split in February. However, the reality star tells Closer that she’ll always be thankful to Luke for the sacrifices he’s made for her – particularly moving from Durham to London. TRANSFORMATION Scarlett, who recently landed a spot presenting Streetmate and this year’s I’m A Celeb! spin-off…

The latest series of Our Girl started last week, where Michelle Keegan returned to the screen following a gruelling seven-month film schedule that took her all over the world. Speaking last week, Michelle, 30 – who was pictured looking close to co-star and on-screen love interest Luke Pasqualino last year – said life on set was made easier by her male co-stars. In the interview, Michelle said, “Working with the lads, they’re amazing and they become like your family at the end of the day. You get really close to everyone.” TIME APART In April this year, Michelle’s hectic workload saw her leave the Essex home she shares with husband Mark Wright to film in Nepal, South Africa and Malaysia. The pair soon saw their schedules keeping them apart for…

‘ SHE WANTS DRASTIC CHANGES BEFORE SHE’D EVEN CONSIDER DISCUSSING THEIR FUTURE’ She was pictured out again last week without her wedding rings and, despite their 15-year relationship being rocked by several scandals in the past, this is the longest Coleen Rooney has kept them off. The pregnant mum-of-three was devastated when Wayne, 31, was convicted of drink-driving last month while taking single mum Laura Simpson, 29, home from the bar they’d met in. And despite Wayne being adamant that nothing happened between them, Laura claimed she’d enjoyed “kissing and cuddling” the footballer, though she later denied this. Now friends of Coleen, 31 – who announced in August that she was “so happy” to be pregnant with the pair’s fourth child – say she’s refusing to wear her diamond-encrusted bands…

She announced the news of her second pregnancy in June – and now Cara Kilbey is counting down the weeks until the birth of baby number two with her boyfriend Daniel Harris. The former TOWIE star, 30, looked healthy and happy as she revealed her growing bump in a bikini snap from her holiday in Ibiza last week, captioning it “Baby bump #30days.” But despite her happy appearance, Cara has had a difficult few years. Shortly after the birth of her first child Penelope Blu, now one, Daniel, 32, was held on remand in prison after being charged for drug offences and for hiding £116,000 in ill-gotten gains in their daughter’s bedroom. However, after spending a year in jail, he was cleared of the drug charges and released in March…

FORGOT MY SENSE OF STYLE… When I was a teenager, I used to wear black nail varnish and eyeliner. Looking back now I think I looked like a tiny Marilyn Manson; a little emo who didn’t really have anything to be emotional about because I grew up on a farm and it was perfectly lovely. But at the time I thought I was pretty cool. LIED… That was at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards last month. I kept saying: “I’m having a really fun time!” when I was actually terrified to be in a room with people like football legend Pelé and actor Jared Leto. LOST MY TEMPER… A little while ago I was driving back from Cardiff late at night and I took a wrong turn, so…

McFly star Harry Judd revealed last week how the pressure to conceive a child with his wife Izzy nearly tore apart his marriage. Violinist Izzy, 33, struggled to fall pregnant after she was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and Harry, 31, admits it was very hard on them both. He said, “Izzy so desperately wanted to be a mother and so as soon as we realised there was a problem, it took over her life. Our wedding in 2012 had been the happiest day of our lives – cut to a year later and she’s in absolute despair. I remember after two years thinking: ‘God, we haven’t even had a kid and already I’m sick of this.’ It was constant but I felt I couldn’t get frustrated with her.” He added,…

 With his catty comments and outrageous personality, he’s been rubbing up Hollywood’s elite the wrong way for a whopping 13 years since starting his infamous blog, where he dishes up the juiciest celebrity gossip on stars from Justin Bieber to Kim Kardashian. ‘Jordan is going through a lot’ Now, Perez Hilton tells Closer that after knowing America’s first family of reality TV for close to a decade, he’s having a giggle at the baby meltdowns secretly rocking the glamorous Kardashian family. Just last month, Closer reported how Kim, 36, was feeling unsettled after it was revealed younger sisters Kylie, 20, and Khloe, 33, were both pregnant with their first children, while she was reportedly using a surrogate for her third baby.

At just 16 years old, Cathy Wilson married Peter Tobin, but left him after three years of domestic violence. Cathy has since said she didn’t think he would kill anyone, except maybe her. Tobin was later convicted of three murders between 1991 and 2006. When Harold Shipman was convicted for murdering 15 of his patients in 2000, and was also suspected of killing up to 250 more, his wife Primrose refused to accept his guilt. She continued to visit him often until his death in 2004. Sonia Sutcliffe was married to Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe when he murdered 13 women between 1970 and 1975. Sonia denied knowledge of the killings, but remained married to him for 12 years and would visit him in Broadmoor psychiatric hospital.…

AUTUMNAL BLUES Whether you go for a vintage hue or a flash of cobalt, timeless blue is one of the most wearable colours around. HOW TO WEAR • Break up sapphire shades with crisp white separates or subtle metallic accessories and shoes. • Tactile fabrics such as sequins and lace will add some razzle dazzle to a colour-block combo, making this trend perfect for after hours. RED ALERT Red takes centre stage in A/W17. Wear it loud with a touch of scarlet, or go for a subtle approach in moody ruby. HOW TO WEAR • Accessorising with black can look harsh so, instead, team your outfit with bags and heels in a matching hue or shiny gold. • Red makes a chic base for other statement colours and patterns.

STACEY How much do you spend? £100 a week. I buy things on the day as it works out cheaper, plus it’s only me and my two boys at home so I don’t make huge dinners. I like to cook Mediterranean and Israeli dishes, so I shop at big supermarkets where I can find all the different herbs and spices. Describe your daily diet… Breakfast is either porridge or yoghurt with fruit or yesterday’s leftovers, especially if I’ve made a really tasty salad. If I’m on Loose Women I’ll bring in a veggie salad and butternut squash soup for lunch. For dinner I’ll have baked fish with roast veg and the kids will have homemade fish fingers with broccoli and corn on the cob, or we’ll have shepherd’s pie. I…

RELATIONSHIPS WHY UNCONDITIONAL LOVE IS A MYTH Forget everything you’ve been told in Hollywood films, partnerships need boundaries if they’re going to work In couple’s therapy, certain discussions come up again and again, and one of the most common is the misconception around unconditional love, which, thanks to Hollywood films, romantic novels and fairy tales, has somehow become something rational humans think we should be looking for. The reality is that if you think it exists, you’re probably either single or persistently dissatisfied in every relationship you’ve had. If unconditional love existed, it would mean that, no matter how badly you were treated by your man, you would happily accept it; just loving him would be reward enough. Imagine how awful that would feel, how little respect you would have…

Can we talk highlights? For Halloween, we filmed an “as-live” episode from Liverpool’s Croxteth Hall. Imagine Downton Abbey but empty and really spooky. We captured the sound of scissors cutting, and then 10 minutes later a great big pair of scissors come flying through the air. We were like, “Oh sh*t.” Were you just a little bit scared? It was knee-trembling, wee-yourself scary. People say, “Oh, you fake it,” but we’re not going to turn off all the lights and start throwing scissors and knives around at each other, are we? It was a very frightening place. What do you say to the sceptics? Of course, you’re going to get your non-believers saying we fake it, and we’re used to that – but hand on heart we never have and…
