Danielle Lloyd had every reason to swear off plastic surgery after a botched boob job in 2012 nearly killed her. Yet this week, on p58, she unveils the results of a body overhaul – new breast implants, tummy lipo and a bum lift – rationalising her U-turn by telling Closer , “I’m allowed to change my mind because I want to feel happy”. Of course she is. It’s her body and there’s no denying she looks amazing. But her story does illustrate how time can make you forget the reality of the risks and pain involved and focus only on positive outcomes. On p12 we also look at the new ‘square face’ craze and the celebs who’ve had fillers removed only to succumb again once they get tired of their…

❛I AM GETTING OLDER AND I DON’T WANT THE DOOR TO CLOSE❜ She told Closer last year that when the time is right, she’ll “dedicate herself to being a mum properly”, adding that she’d like two children. But in scenes from Vicky Pattison’s reality show No Filter, which aired last week, she broke down as she opened up about her fears that she may not be able to have the family she’s now longing for. She revealed, “I have never, ever known a fella worry about having kids. But women, God, I don’t know how many women I’ve had that conversation with… I am going to want to have kids in the next five to ten years. I didn’t used to want kids, I was adamant I didn’t, but now…

Their five-year marriage was plagued with cheating dramas, as well as claims that he’d become a house husband and was treated like a “b **** ”. And after splitting from Jordan last May, Kieran Hayler insists he’s happy to be free again. Speaking at Tulley’s Shocktober Fest, he says, “It’s nice to get my own life back. I feel like I’m not so much restricted now. It’s nice to get my life back on track.” Kieran, 32, and Jordan married in 2013 after two months of dating – but after an on-off marriage, they called it quits for good in May. Kieran has been open about his close bond with Jordan’s first husband, Peter Andre. Opening up about their friendship, Kieran says, “I haven’t spoken to Pete for a long…

KYLIE JENNER, 22: Her lips are said to have started the filler craze after she admitted to having it injected into her pout at just 17 years old. And despite shocking fans earlier this year when she had it dissolved, Kylie’s larger than life pout was soon back. AMY CHILDS, 29: She expressed her regret over cosmetic surgery and fillers in 2016, insisting she barely recognised herself. But despite wanting smaller lips, she’s stuck with a plump pout, after an expert told her they were now full of water. LAUREN GOODGER, 33: The former TOWIE star had her fillers dissolved in 2016 after insisting she wanted a natural look – but months later, Lauren was spotted with big lips again. Recently, she revealed a relaxed attitude to the procedure, insisting,…

Every morning her daughter Leah, 20, wakes up is a blessing for mum Lisa Gray. Leah has suffered with anorexia for five years, which has seen her in and out of clinics and hospitals, with days passing when she ate nothing at all. But Lisa, 48, says she feels abandoned by the health service, as the only treatment Leah receives is just one hour a week with an occupational therapist over a cup of coffee. As experts warn of a “crisis” within anorexia treatment in the UK, Lisa, who lives in Barnsley with her partner and father of her three children, Michael Senior, 53, says, “We’ve had no real help in the last year and we’ve been desperate. I’m not an expert and feel completely at a loss about how…

‘Simon’s got his mojo back’ His ongoing feud with Cheryl is legendary, with him previously branding her “irrelevant”, “lazy” and claiming she “can’t sing”. But in a surprise turnaround, Louis Walsh now admits to Closer he may have been unfair towards the singer in the past, with the reason for their strained relationship being the heartaches going on in Cheryl’s personal life. Louis, 67, says, “I’ve had my ups and downs with Cheryl. But I just think that she was going through a bad time in her life with people, with boyfriends and men, when we worked together. I know I slag her off – but I think she is a good person. TOUGH TIME “I definitely think that having her baby has been the best thing for her. I…

JENNY: ‘Singing was my antidepressant’ She’s blown viewers away with her sharp intellect on The Chase – and now Jenny Ryan has stunned audiences with her powerful singing voice on The X Factor: Celebrity. Jenny, 37 – who has been a quizzer known as ‘The Vixen’ on The Chase since 2015 – shocked viewers with her rendition of Somebody To Love by Queen, and sailed through to the live shows. But Jenny tells Closer that she discovered her passion for singing during a dark time in her life. She says, “I’ve always enjoyed singing as a hobby, and it was my stress relief and antidepressant. I started to sing a lot more during my 20s, when I was struggling with depression. It’s a way of lifting your mood alongside or…

Love Island star Olivia Attwood last week revealed that she’s engaged to footballer Bradley Dack. But while some fans wished them well, others were quick to bring up Olivia and Bradley’s on-off relationship, saying, “This will last all of two minutes”, and “Haven’t they broken up five times?” Olivia, 28, first dated Bradley in 2015 but was single when she signed up to Love Island in 2017, where she had a tumultuous romance with co-star Chris Hughes that quickly ended once out of the villa. Olivia got back with Bradley, before splitting in April this year after “huge rows”, then reuniting two days later. And Olivia isn’t the first celeb to say “yes” while in a turbulent relationship. TV host Caroline Flack raised eyebrows when she got engaged to Andrew…

Vicky Hamilton, 15, was abducted while waiting for a bus in Bathgate, West Lothian, in February 1991. Tests on Vicky’s purse, which was found months later at a bus station where Tobin had planted it, showed traces of DNA from Tobin’s son Daniel, who had been a toddler in 1991. Police discovered Tobin had lived in Bathgate at the time of Vicky’s abduction, and found a knife with her DNA on it. Officers then went to his former house in Irvine Drive, Margate, where Vicky’s remains were unearthed in the garden, wrapped in bin bags covered with Tobin’s fingerprints. Tests later showed Vicky had been drugged and sexually assaulted before Tobin brutally murdered her. Dinah McNicol, 18, went missing while hitchhiking home to Essex from a music festival in Hampshire…

How much do you spend per week? Probably about £300. It sounds a lot, but there are seven of us, including my mum. (Tanya has daughter Gabriella, 18, from a previous relationship, and sons Rocco, 10, Renz, five, and Ralphi, three, with footballer Phil Bardsley). Describe your daily diet... All I have for breakfast is a black coffee. For lunch, I’ll normally have smashed avocado on sourdough bread with two poached eggs, fresh chilli and spinach. Then for dinner, or “teatime” as we call it, we’ll have a pasta dish with garlic bread. I’m a big snacker. After the kids have gone to bed, Phil and I will watch Netflix and we’ll have a family pack of crisps. I like hot and spicy Doritos or salt and vinegar Kettle Chips.…

RELATIONSHIPS HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY ARGUMENT Even the most rock-solid of partnerships will have rows, but it’s how you raise your frustrations that makes the difference Conflict can actually be constructive, rather than destructive, by sticking to some rules. Being direct is key, as it stops the sulky games that many couples play. Calmly voicing that you disagree with an opinion, or explaining why you feel hurt by an action, cuts to the chase so you can deal with the issue. You never solve problems when angry, so agree to return to the subject when you have been able to gather your thoughts. Avoid blame, as this makes your partner feel you are making them responsible for your feelings and they become defensive. Stick to “I” statements, which make…

How did you get involved? When Children In Need comes up, everyone says yes! It’s just one of those things you have to, and want to, do. They said, “We want to put this album together with all these amazing people. Would you sing a track?” And I said, “Yeah – of course I will,” not thinking it would ever happen. And how have you felt about it? Anxious – I was more nervous about this than anything I’ve ever done! I love singing. I was in a choral group when I was younger, and I wanted to do musicals. I hadn’t done it for so long, so it was scary – but in a good way. I’m really glad that this has been a challenge and not just something…

LOUISE THOMPSON... Shock new evidence emerges that Louise has NEVER travelled on the M25 in rush hour on a rainy day. SOPHIE KASAEI… Yeh, Soph. Meanwhile, for some of us who aren’t always on holiday, it’s commuting to work on the same train seat, then sat in the same seat at work, then home to sit on the sofa with a ready meal. INSPIGRAM Too true, Anton. It’s the fault of Haribo for making those things so damn yummy that we are now borderline Type 2 diabetic……

❛SHE FEELS LIKE HE’S BETRAYED THEIR PACT – AND IT COULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED AT A WORSE TIME FOR HER❜ When a sobbing Rebekah Vardy landed back in the UK last week to face the aftermath of her fallout with Coleen Rooney, her loyal husband Jamie stood by her side, protectively clutching her hand. The Leicester City footballer had already publicly shown support for her by unfollowing Wayne Rooney – his former England captain – on Twitter, as well as liking his wife’s tweet denying Coleen’s allegations that Rebekah may have leaked stories about the Rooneys to the press. Jamie was even given an extended break from football training by his boss Brendan Rodgers so he could look after Rebekah through her “difficult week”. ALONE However, Jamie’s openly supportive behaviour was…

Leading fertility expert Dr Larisa Corda (www.drlarisacorda.com) says, “The success rates for full-term pregnancies following egg freezing, compared to embryo freezing, are much lower. If you only freeze eggs, you don’t know their quality until they are fertilized later on. You could be giving yourself a false sense of hope. Embryo freezing (using sperm from a partner or donor) will maximise the chance of pregnancy later. Transferring an embryo later in life is not the same as it is in a younger woman, and pregnancy-related complications, such as pre-eclampsia and high blood pressure, are more common in older age, so delaying pregnancy for too long can cause problems. As a rule, the more eggs that are collected for freezing, the better the chance of success. Generally, the best time to…

Only a few years ago, Kim Kardashian West and the beauty world introduced us to the clever way bronzer can “contour” a face by accentuating cheekbones and defining a jawline – so creating a squarer face shape. But now, celebrities are achieving the look on a more permanent basis by using dermal fillers rather than makeup. TOWIE star Olivia Attwood recently admitted to spending £2,500 on “jawline filler, chin lipo and a contouring procedure”, while fans pointed out Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague’s face shape seems to have changed dramatically within just a few months. Many have been comparing her face before the show to now, with one questioning, “What is Molly-Mae doing to her face?” Harley Street aesthetic practitioner Amar Suchde, of AMS Aesthetics (@ams_ aesthetics), says there’s been a…

LIZZIE’S HEARTBREAK ASBOYFRIEND CHEATS WITH HIS EX’S DAUGHTER She was left devastated when her marriage to footballer Jason Cundy ended amid rumours of his infidelity. And last week, Lizzie Cundy faced fresh heartache when she revealed she’d dumped her boyfriend of ten months, Jeremy Gordeno, over his alleged affair with his ex’s 21-year-old daughter. Nightclub owner Jeremy, 53, first revealed his romance with former model Lizzie was over days earlier, when he issued a statement to say her red carpet lifestyle was “not for him”. But soon after, damning photos emerged of him cosying up with Francesca, the daughter of ex-fiancée Candice Hodge, who he was reported to have also been involved with behind Lizzie’s back. Opening up, Lizzie, 50, insisted she was the one to call it quits after…

Broadcaster Mark Austin’s daughter Maddy, now 22, became ill in 2012, losing four stone and changing from a healthy and promising athlete to an “emaciated, ghostlike figure”. She credited a nurse with saving her life, saying, “Eventually it was a local NHS nurse who really understood me and saw the Maddy without the demons. I was lucky, but mental health treatment should not be a lottery.” Now her father is calling for “walk-in centres on the high street of every town and city, manned by trained counsellors”. He added, “As a country, our response is bordering on the pathetic. It is a mental illness, but, almost uniquely, it is often one that kills.”…

MEGAN MCKENNA – Megan is amazing. She is one to watch. She was a complete revelation to me – she’s so talented. I’m her mentor on the series. RICKI LAKE – She’s larger than life! She’s so nice, kind and chatty to everyone. She’s a superstar. THE LOVE ISLAND GROUP – I was so surprised! I think they are going to do really well. They look the part, too. BRENDAN COLE & JEREMY EDWARDS – Ah, they were so bad. I just think they were unprepared. In my opinion, they could have done better – Brendan is lovely and such a professional, so it’s a shame.…

She caused a stir earlier this month when she was spotted cosying up to Love Island star Jordan Hames, telling Closer at the time that she was “excited” to see where things went. But as Ferne McCann confirms that her romance with Jordan, 24, has already fizzled out, she reveals she isn’t giving up on finding her dream man. She says, “It was a one-off, one-night thing – it was very casual. I saw him at the Animal Hero Awards, and then he met me in London a few days later for a cup of tea. But that was it. He’s not my ‘one’, and I don’t think I’m his. We’re at two completely different stages in our lives. “I want to get married and have more children soon. I…

In the wild, lions roam free on Africa’s savannas, and each pride’s territory can reach up to 100 square miles. The sociable animals live in tight-knit family groups and sleep for 20 hours during the day, before hunting prey at night. But, tragically, it’s estimated that 70 per cent of South Africa’s lions are bred in captivity. While cubs, they are taken from their mothers and domesticated by unwitting volunteers who find the sanctuaries online. Lion cubs then spend miserable years being passed between tourists, who pose with them for a “once-in-a-lifetime” Instagram selfie. And shockingly, when the lions are just two years old, they are sold to be hunted and shot by trophy hunters taking part in “canned hunts”, where lions are unable to escape the enclosure. The animals…

ALWAYS BE KIND “As a musician, you put out music and stick your head above the parapet – and at times you get shot at, especially on social media. People can be horrid to each other on platforms such as Twitter – humans just sometimes seem to be incredibly unpleasant. My basic rule in life is to be kind. Of course, that doesn’t mean I can’t have a laugh and a joke online – often at my own expense.” TRY NOT TO OBSESS OVER NEGATIVE COMMENTS “It’s human nature to obsess about the negative. I get one or two unfavourable opinions online a day, but then I’ll do a concert for between 5,000 and 25,000 people. It’s madness to think about that one negative comment when I should be thinking…

‘It’s the best rash decision I’ve made’ When Closer last caught up with Danielle Lloyd, she insisted she’d given up plastic surgery for good. A botched boob job in 2012 resulted in one of her breast implants bursting open in the middle of the night. She was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery, leaving the star fighting for her life after losing six pints of blood. Afterwards, reflecting on her horrific ordeal, Danielle insisted she regretted messing with her body “every single day”. But when we meet the former glamour model for our exclusive naked photoshoot, she reveals she’s had a complete U-turn – having undergone breast augmentation, liposuction on her stomach and a Brazilian bum lift – in order to give herself a surgery makeover. And to say she’s…

We all know kids are generally covered in germs, but the vast majority of bacteria are harmless. My mum used to let me crawl around in muck, because being exposed to some dirt is important. GERMS AREN’T ALL BAD A recent story said car seats contained “sickening amounts of nasty poo bacteria”. That’s hugely misleading. The researchers said they found traces of faecal Streptococci. The story warned this bacteria can cause meningitis and pneumonia. Technically it can, but it’s far likelier to lead to a mild illness like strep throat, or even more likely – nothing. We’re all exposed to our own poo daily, but we’re not all getting meningitis. WASH THEIR HANDS Kids touch, lick and dribble on everything, but that’s healthy. Exposure to germs helps them build resistance.…

READ LABELS CLOSELY “Look for terms such as ‘plant based’ or ‘aquatic life friendly’, and check whether packaging is listed as 100% recyclable,” says Lynsey Crombie, cleaner on Channel 4’s Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners and Queen Of Clean blogger. “Check out affordable eco ranges at M&S, Wilko and Waitrose.” The Waitrose Ecological range starts from £1.59, and Wilko’s eco-friendly bathroom cleaner spray is just £1. CLEAN SURFACES WITHOUT CHEMICALS “People are so used to strong-smelling chemicals that they think anything ‘gentle’ is not hard-working,” says Janey Lee Grace, founder of Imperfectlynatural.com. “But harsher products often contain ingredients that are terrible for skin or for anyone suffering from respiratory problems. Try Greenscents surface cleaner (£4.17 for 500ml) instead. It leaves worktops sparkling.” USE LAUNDRY EGGS Janey recommends replacing laundry detergent with Ecoeggs…

• The singer denies Liam Payne’s claims that they split six months before official statement • Annoyed as her indiscreet ex continues to talk about her and their relationship • Stung by his comment that he’s ‘happiest he’s ever been’ with girlfriend Maya Henry Her ex Liam Payne’s notorious loose lips landed him in trouble yet again last week, when he seemingly implied that he and Cheryl covered up the true date of their split and that they actually parted ways six months before their official announcement in July last year. Blabbing on the podcast Table Manners with singer Jessie Ware, Liam, 26, said, “We split around For You – which was interesting.” The raunchy duet with Rita Ora was released in January 2018. When rumours of trouble in the…

‘SHE’S ANGRY AND WANTS TO SHOW THAT SHE STILL HAS THE POWER TO CAUSE TROUBLE’ They parted ways suddenly in 2009 after four and a half years of marriage. And Jordan has since struggled to hold her tongue when it comes to bad-mouthing her ex-husband Peter Andre. Last week, the controversial mum-of-five raised eyebrows once again when she claimed that Pete, 46, grew close to Sugababes singer Keisha Buchanan, 35, shortly after their high-profile split. “I remember the black girl, what was her name? She got friendly with Pete after we split,” Jordan, 41, said during a radio interview, referring to Keisha, before making a retching noise in an apparent dig at Pete for moving on so quickly. DIRTY LAUNDRY Jordan – real name Katie Price – was quickly moved…

Since first rising to fame on Ex on the Beach back in 2015, Megan McKenna has become as known for her pout as her fiery temperament. But the reality star admits she has undergone a dramatic transformation ahead of her stint on The X Factor: Celebrity, ditching the lip fillers in favour of a more natural look. Speaking in a newspaper interview about her decision to finally have the filler dissolved, Megan, 27, recently said she’d been embarrassed to look back at old photos. She said, “I spent three years pumping it in and pumping it in, thinking, ‘They’re not big enough, let’s get some more.’ “I became obsessed with my lips... Honestly, I think I had body dysmorphia, because now when I look back at pictures of myself I…

SHERIDAN: ‘I’ve got a baby on board!’ Rumours of Sheridan Smith being pregnant reached fever pitch last week, after the star reportedly confirmed the news herself while on stage. Sheridan, 38 – who is engaged to Jamie Horn, 28 – had been performing West End hits on a cruise ship. While on stage, she allegedly told the audience, “I’ve got a baby on board,” before saying she had “buckets in each wing” for “this morning sickness lark”. Her announcement came after she posted a picture on Instagram captioned, “About to set sail for 4 days, wish me luck with my morning sickness!” – sparking fans to comment, “Baby? Congratulations” and “Does that mean you’re expecting?!” While Sheridan hasn’t officially confirmed the reports, the actress has recently been open about her…

Rebecca Quinlan, 31, from Chelmsford, Essex, was first hospitalised for anorexia at 18. She says, “I wanted to be a professional hurdler and thought if I was thinner, I could run faster. At university I began restricting my eating severely. After eight months, I could barely walk. My parents took me to hospital as my kidneys, liver and heart were failing. I was sectioned and tube-fed. From then on, I was in and out of hospitals. In one, I was treated like an animal. I wasn’t allowed to shower or wash in case I used up calories. I was told having a shower was a reward for good behaviour. It was barbaric. “The turning point came in 2011, when I was given a community treatment order. I could be looked…

She’s the loud and loveable talk-show host whose programme The Ricki Lake Show was a hit in the ’90s – and now Ricki Lake says she can’t wait to take on another challenge by competing on The X Factor: Celebrity. Talking to Closer ahead of the live shows, Ricki reveals the experience is scary – but that being in her 50s has given her a newfound confidence she didn’t have before. She says, “Here’s the deal, I’m 51 now – so, for me, I have nothing to lose. This is all about the experience. I’m here, I get to perform. If I do the first show and I get kicked off, I’m just happy to be in London. “I’m having a great time, but it’s nerve-wracking. I think I have…

When Margo Williams married for the second time aged 30, she was desperate to start a family with her new husband, Doug. She already had a daughter, Mia, now 45, with her first husband – but Doug didn’t have any children and they wanted to start their own family. For two years, they tried to conceive naturally, but, in desperation, sought help from a renowned fertility doctor. They were thrilled when Margo eventually fell pregnant via IVF using sperm from a donor they had specifically picked for a list of attributes. But, in an appalling twist, years later it emerged the fertility doctor, Dr Kim McMorries, had in fact added his own sperm to the donor’s sample to impregnate her. Nine months later, he delivered his own and Margo’s daughter…

Beth Jennings, 25, volunteered for a lion sanctuary in February 2015, before realising the truth about the lions’ lives. She says, “I spent two weeks passing three-week-old cubs around groups of tourists, but discovered that, from the age of one, they are sold to the canned hunting industry for up to £50k as they’re easy targets for humans. I was heartbroken. When I returned home in March 2015, I set up Claws-out.com to educate people about the part lion sanctuaries play in the canned hunting trade. In June 2018, I became campaigns manager for the International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals. I spoke at the European Parliament alongside MEPs, resulting in a ban on all trophy sales from a hunting convention in Germany. And now I’m visiting…

It had started as a missing person’s case, but the grim discovery of the bound and gagged body of young Polish student Angelika Kluk under church floorboards in September 2006 triggered a major police investigation – which eventually led to the capture of one of Britain’s most violent serial killers. ❛WE OWE IT TO HIS VICTIMS TO KEEP SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH❜ Angelika, 23, had last been seen by the parish handyman, who had given his name as Pat McLaughlin to officers hoping to shed light on her disappearance. DSI David Swindle had initially headed up the search at the church, where Angelika lived and worked. BURIED ALIVE But after finding her body buried just feet below, his attention turned to the handyman, who, after being interviewed by David and…

Last week, Danielle found herself embroiled in a bitter spat with Rebekah Vardy, following her explosive fall-out with Coleen Rooney in the wake of the story-leaking scandal – which Rebekah denies. Wading into the row, Danielle branded Rebekah “a rat” – who, in turn, lashed out at Danielle, claiming that she was just harbouring a grudge against her for Rebekah failing to set her up with a rich footballer. Speaking about the unfolding drama, Danielle says, ‘I’m still in shock over what’s happened. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but I’m friends with Coleen and I’m always going to stick up for her – and I did reach out to her. This isn’t the first time Coleen has been suspicious about someone selling stories, and it’s not nice. I’ve had friends…

Taking a stretch break during work hours is a sure-fire way to enjoy better flexibility and range of motion.
