Inhoudsopgave van 21 March 2017 - Closer

Lauren Goodger doesn’t do anything by halves. She turned heads when she shrank to a size 8 after losing a whopping 4st at the end of 2015 and, more recently, she’s found herself in the spotlight again for her relationship with convict Joey Morrison. Now Lauren – who’s been celibate for a year – tells us she’s planning to have 10 children with her jailbird lover and wants them to be like the “Essex Sound Of Music.” Let’s hope that, like the Von Trapp family , they get their happy ever after...…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “It’s difficult for any of us to deal with criticism, but celebrities often face relentless knocks from all angles – including extreme online trolling – that would push anyone to break down. “It’s particularly difficult for female celebrities because they get the brunt of the abuse, whether it’s criticising their ability, their body or their looks. “It’s very hard to ignore but it’s worth trying to remember that no one can make you feel bad – it’s your choice to let such comments affect you. In situations like Vicky’s, where she was being criticised to the point it was pushing her to breaking point, perhaps it would be better to hand control of her social media to someone else to run on her…

She’s delighted to be four months pregnant with her fourth child – her first with fiancé Michael O’Neill – but Danielle Lloyd says she’s already dreaming of adding more to her brood. Danielle, 33 – who has three sons with her ex, Jamie O’Hara – excitedly tells Closer: “We’ve decided to adopt! We’d love the chance to give a child a better life – being in a care or foster home can be really tough. The new child would have lots of siblings, too, which is lovely. “We’d like to adopt a child from the UK. I feel like I was born to be a mother and I’ve always wanted a large family – I’ve even considered starting a foster home as I’d love about 100 kids. Maybe I’ll be…

THE PERSON I TURN TO IN A CRISIS IS… Joey. I speak to him every day on the phone and I visit him every week. He’s the person I trust with all my top secrets! THE LAST TIME I CRIED WAS…. Watching the film Lion . It’s amazing. I was crying so much I was choking. THE SONG THAT MAKES ME HAPPY IS… Mariah Carey’s Heartbreaker . I love her voice and I like to think I sing like her. What a woman! MY LIFE MANTRA IS… What’s meant to be will always be. I think things in life naturally fall into place in the end. My life has definitely been a real roller coaster but I’ve finally got my fairy-tale ending.…

THE PERSON I TURN TO IN A CRISIS IS… “Ben and Jerry. Ice cream can help you cope with problems. I love the cookie dough flavour. I love anything that’s going to be really, really bad for me.” THE LAST TIME I CRIED WAS… “With laughter last week when I bought these Spicy Gummy Peppers – they’re sweets infused with jalapeño. My boyfriend and son were competing to see who could eat the most.” THE SONG THAT MAKES ME HAPPY IS… “The theme from ’60s TV show I Dream Of Jeannie. I used to hum it to my son when he was a baby.” WORDS I LIVE BY… “It’s actually an adapted Winston Churchill quote: ‘When you find yourself in hell, walk faster.’”…

Rumours have been swirling about their romantic status since December, and had appeared to be confirmed last week when former England footballer Rio Ferdinand was reportedly seen leaving TOWIE star Kate Wright’s Essex home following an overnight stay. Despite being in the early stages of their romance, after being introduced while on holiday in Dubai, pals say the reality star has already developed strong feelings for the 38-year-old – whose wife Rebecca tragically died in May 2015 from breast cancer aged just 34, leaving him a single dad to their three children. A source says: “Kate’s been deliberately keeping their relationship low-profile as she’s extremely sensitive to Rio’s situation, but she’s loved-up and ready to get serious. “They see each other a couple of times a week and usually meet…

Former TOWIE hunk Charlie King is making his big Essex comeback this month – and after briefly dating Gemma Collins in 2013, the 31-year-old personal trainer has revealed he’s happy to help her find love on the show. After Charlie and Gemma’s short-lived fling, Charlie came out a year later on This Morning. But the former lovers are still on good terms, and he confesses to Closer: “If I wasn’t gay, Gemma would be my ideal woman. I’m working hard on helping her find someone; I want her to be happy. Gemma needs someone who is firm with her and can tell her ‘no’ – she can be quite a force!” Charlie quit the show after his pal and co-star Bobby Norris told him he had feelings for him, but…

‘We’re making the most of every moment’ Laughing and joking as they gaze at sharks and jellyfish at London’s Sea Life Aquarium, Nicola White and her family seem like any other enjoying a day out. But sadly they’ve been through unimaginable heartache after Nicola, 32, was diagnosed with terminal cancer – and may only have months to live. Brave Nicola fought bone cancer aged 15 and was given the all-clear. But she was dealt another blow when she was diagnosed with secondary lung cancer last year and also told the devastating news that it’s incurable. Now Nicola – who is married to Alex, 36 – is on a mission to raise £75,000 for a radiation treatment that could prolong her life – so she can see her children Owen, 12,…

TRADE SECRETS… We all know how annoying it is when our perfectly painted lips start to fade or smear, but actress Scarlett Johansson has a tip for keeping them looking their best for longer. She says: “Use a concealer pen to draw around your lips before applying colour. You get the perfect shape and create a barrier to stop your colour from spreading . It works especially well with red lipsticks. My go-to shade is D&G Classic Lipstick in Devil .” GET JESSICA’S NEW ‘PUPPY EYES’ LOOK… Forget feline flicks, “puppy eyes” is the new liner look the stars are crazy for. The beauty trend is huge in South Korea and it’s started making waves over in Hollywood, too – as seen on actress Jessica Biel. Rather than creating a…

Expensive salon treatments can only do so much to help you achieve vibrant, bouncy hair. “Having a good diet is one of the most important things you can do to keep your hair healthy,” says trichologist Anabel Kingsley at the Philip Kingsley Trichological Clinic in London. “If you’re not getting the right nutrients, your hair will be the first to suffer as it is not an essential tissue. “For strong, shiny hair, you need to eat foods that are rich in iron, vitamins B12, B6, folate and biotin, plus vitamins C and D, zinc, silica, protein, essential fatty acids and amino acids. Nutritional deficiencies can cause all sorts of hair problems such as loss of volume, brittleness, or a dull appearance. “By eating the right foods, you should start to…

What are you scared of? Pigeons and crows. What’s your worst habit? I’m so messy, I have what you call a “floordrobe” because there are clothes everywhere in my room. Ever had a near-death experience? I fell off a moped in Vietnam and I picked up a bacterial infection in Laos. What animal would you be and why? A sheep; they’re so chilled. Plus, I like a woolly jumper. Describe yourself in three words... Unpredictable, stubborn and messy. How do you cope with conflict? I tend to have intense arguments in my head as I’m not brilliant at confrontation. • Robot Wars, Sunday, 7pm, BBC2…

You joined Coronation Street as Sinead Tinker in 2013; is she fun to play? She’s really fun to play! I like it when she does her weird dancing and stuff. I like her outfits as well – every day I go into my dressing room and there’s something weird laid out for me to wear. I wouldn’t go out like that in real life, so why not dress like that when you’re somewhere you’re not going to get judged? How did you feel when you read the storyline about Sinead getting pregnant? Well at first I was like, “Wow, does that mean I’ve got to have a baby?!” I’m not really a kiddy person. I’m the youngest in my family so I’ve never had to be…

YouÕve said Emmerdale is the best soap youÕve ever worked on [Gemma Ð who plays Carly Hope Ð has also been in Hollyoaks and Casualty ]. What makes it so great? It sounds really cheesy, but we’re all like one big family. We’ve got a WhatsApp group and we all hang out. It’s just a really nice, friendly place to work. Charley Webb [who plays Debbie Dingle] sometimes has us over to her house – we had a psychic night there recently; a guy came in and gave us all readings… What did yours say? I can’t tell you! But he told Lucy Pargeter she’d have babies. She was like: “Nah, I don’t think I will.” And then she…

‘Becoming a mum has transformed her’ It’s been the most anticipated celebrity baby since Prince George’s arrival in 2013 and – amid fevered fan speculation that Cheryl has already given birth – as Closer went to press, an announcement was expected any day. Now insiders reveal that Cheryl’s over the moon to be establishing the family unit she’s craved for so long. A source says: “Cheryl is very emotional at the moment – she’s so happy she cries all the time. She says she’s never been this happy or in love – it’s like she’s retreated into a baby bubble.” After finally confirming her pregnancy last month by showing off her bump in a photo shoot, pals say Cheryl’s thrilled to have a newfound focus. MORE CONFIDENT An insider reveals:…

Despite looking happier and healthier than she had done in years as she posed for modelling shots on a beach recently, Mischa Barton admitted last week that her “absolute worst fear was realised” when she discovered an ex was trying to sell a sex tape of her. The 31-year-old actress said: “I learned that someone I thought I loved and trusted was filming my most intimate moments without my consent. And then I learned something even worse – that someone is trying to make these videos public… No woman should have to go through this.” The news came just as it appeared Mischa was turning her life around following worrying behaviour earlier this year. She was hospitalised in January after behaving bizarrely in her garden, ranting about her mother and…

They appeared to be putting their volatile past behind them for the sake of their newborn son Caben-Albi but, last week, the truce between Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell came to a shocking end. A month after they reunited, just days after Steph stood by Jeremy’s side at his father’s funeral, the pair reportedly became locked in a series of “furious” rows with neighbours near Steph’s home after it was claimed arguments between them had spilled into the street. Following reports of their arguing, it was later claimed that Jeremy – who denies any wrongdoing – allegedly caused more than £5,000 worth of damage to 24-year-old Steph’s house. Steph was said to be “shaken and distressed” after reporting him to the authorities. HEAVILY BRUISED Police revealed in a statement that…

She’s never far from controversy, just this month engaging in a series of bizarre stunts on a trip to Marbella – including pole-dancing, posing seductively with a fishing rod and kissing three different men, including a “human Ken doll.” Now Danniella Westbrook’s pals fear the former drug addict’s bizarre antics are a cry for help. An insider says: “Her friends are worried she’s close to derailing. After a low few months, she’s living it up in Marbella – going out partying and kissing all these guys. Pals are telling her to stop embarrassing herself.” Danniella, 43, has had a turbulent life. After rising to fame in 1990 playing Sam Mitchell in EastEnders, the actress then battled cocaine addiction, went bankrupt and shockingly revealed she’d once been kidnapped and raped. HOMELESS…

‘The first time we kissed was amazing’ With his gym-honed body and chiselled good-looks, Kenzie Randall-Beale isn’t short of female attention. But, incredibly, he was born as Esme, and had gender reassignment surgery just 18 months ago. Kenzie met mum-of-four Vicky Honey, 36, last March and now they’re inseparable. Vicky, from Cornwall, says: “I fancied Kenzie straight away – he’s really handsome. I’d heard he was transgender through friends, but it didn’t bother me. “When we first had sex I was nervous, but it was amazing.” Hairdresser Kenzie, 22, adds: “Vicky is the first woman I’ve loved and the sex is great. I’ve had a penis made using skin from my arm and I inflate it with an internal pump. It’s very quick and doesn’t kill the mood.” Closer first…

ANDREW SMYTH, RUNNER-UP OF GREAT BRITISH BAKE OFF 2016, THINKS THE NEW LINE-UP WILL BE GREAT: “Noel Fielding is certainly an unexpected choice. Who knows what Sandi and Noel will be like as a double act, but they’re both hilarious. The tent can be a really stressful place so it will be great for this year’s contestants to be surrounded by humour. It was going to be hard for anyone taking over, as hosts as Mel and Sue are a difficult act to follow, but there’s no point writing them off before they’ve even begun. And there’s no doubt Prue knows her stuff. She’s a legend in her own right and a worthy replacement of Mary. It’ll be interesting to see if she’s easier to please than Paul as he’s…

£400 On an outfit from Hugo Boss for the TRIC awards. I felt very smart. £300 On afternoon tea at Claridge’s hotel to celebrate my mum and my daughter’s birthdays.

Television and radio broadcaster Vanessa Feltz, 55, agrees women should safeguard themselves by drinking less. She says: “In a perfect world, women would be able to drink what they like, wear what they want and get home safely. Unfortunately we live in a world where that sometimes doesn’t happen and there are men who will take advantage of a drunk girl. “I’m a staunch feminist and I would never want to imply that a woman is to blame for being raped because she was drunk. “But women do have to take responsibility for themselves and getting blind drunk could leave them vulnerable to an attack. I have two daughters and I tell them to keep their wits about them – you can’t do that when you’re inebriated. If you get…

She regularly pouts for selfies on social media and shows off her size 10 figure in revealing outfits – but although Marnie Simpson appears super confident, she admits she’s secretly battling crippling insecurity over her looks. Marnie, 25, reveals how her body dysmorphia – diagnosed in 2015 after she joined MTV show Geordie Shore – led her down the road of numerous surgical procedures. Having undergone a boob job two years ago – going from a B-cup to a C-cup – and then corrective breast surgery, as well as a nose job, lip fillers and liposuction, Marnie now accepts she went too far. DISTORTED BODY IMAGE The reality star says: “When I joined the TV show I quickly began to loathe myself and feel insecure about the way I looked.…

After being in a relationship with Gareth Gates for five years, there’s very little Faye Brookes and her boyfriend haven’t discussed, but she tells Closer there’s one topic that’s still off limits – and that’s the singer’s famous ex, Jordan. In 2009, Jordan – real name Katie Price – dropped the bombshell that she had a three-month fling with the then-17-year-old Gareth in 2002 while she was pregnant with her son Harvey. Gareth, who found fame on ITV’s Pop Idol, initially denied the affair but, in 2014, he admitted: “I didn’t want my family to find out,” adding that losing his virginity to Jordan made him quit fame. Faye, 29, says: “Gareth and I don’t talk about Jordan. We’ve all got a past. Gareth would hate it if any of…

Heartache isn’t something Vogue Williams wastes any time on. Despite the upset and upheaval of her three-year marriage to former Westlife star Brian McFadden ending in July 2015, the Irish model is focusing on the positive. Vogue, 31, tells Closer: “When you break up with someone, I don’t think that’s the toughest part. The hard part is the lead-up to the split. After that, it’s just the end. It was almost a relief when my marriage ended. I didn’t have that hard part at the very end.” HAPPILY SINGLE She adds: “I was like: ‘I want more for myself now. I’m happy and have emotional balance.’ I didn’t sit at home moping last year, I was seeing someone for a consistent amount of time. I’ve had a nice time.” The…

Is it true that you can treat vaginal thrush by applying live yoghurt to the area? DR CHRISTIAN: You can try it! A number of good studies show it can kill candida, the most common cause of fungal infections. IN THE NEWS... ‘TAKING WORK HOME CAN BE DEADLY’ A small UK study measured office workers’ heart rates and found those frequently troubled by work-related issues had patterns of heart activity associated with stress. IN MY OPINION... The study included only 36 people who wore the heart rate monitor for just three evenings – short-term observations of a person’s heart rate can’t predict longterm health problems, or determine that thinking about work is deadly! That’s not to say stress doesn’t affect your health. We all need to learn to switch off…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… My family was poor so I never had pocket money. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Doing admin work in a local council office. I’d get £40 a week. I SPENT MY FIRST PROPER PAY CHEQUE ON… Dove soap, which I still use to this day, and Oil Of Olay cream. They were my luxuries back then.

They both found fame on reality shows, have bagged lucrative TV jobs and are regular fixtures on the red carpet. But despite their feisty personas, Vicky Pattison and Ferne McCann have both been left devastated by online trolls as they struggle with the dark side of celebrity. And it’s not just the stars who are dealing with online abuse – a survey recently found that a staggering 70 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds who use the internet have endured harassment. FLOODS OF TEARS Former Geordie Shore star and I’m A Celeb! winner Vicky, 29, was on top of the world last year when she landed a job presenting I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp in Australia. But last week she r d it was a dark time as she suffered…

As Kelly Osbourne left her sister-in-law Lisa’s birthday party in LA last week, she looked dishevelled as she walked barefoot carrying her heels. The 32-year-old looked a world away from the carefree girl who went from a size 18 to a 6 in 2013. Kelly, who struggled with a drug addiction during her teens, has been mum Sharon’s rock since it emerged last year that her dad, Ozzy, had been unfaithful with a hairdresser. The pair initially split but reunited months later – with Kelly admitting it almost tore their family apart. Speaking about her father, she said: “I’m the queen of making mistakes. As a family, nothing can tear us apart because we will stand by each other until we die. In order to learn you have to make…

‘I want lots of kids – we’ll be like the Essex Sound Of Music!’ She’s had her fair share of romance drama, but having known Lauren Goodger since she first found fame on reality show The Only Way Is Essex seven years ago, it’s abundantly clear she’s never been happier. “I’ve met the love of my life; it’s the weirdest situation, but I have this excited feeling every day!” smiles Lauren, as she relaxes on our photo shoot and shows off her 1st weight loss following a stint at boot camp. But Lauren’s romance with convicted criminal Joey Morrison, 31 – who is serving a 17-year prison sentence for drug-related crimes – definitely isn’t run-of-the-mill. The reality star can only see him during weekly visits to his prison, although they…

SCARLETT JOHANSSON DIVORCED TWICE BY 32 Scarlett recently filed for divorce from second husband Romain Dauriac, 42, after two years. She was previously married to actor Ryan Reynolds. BILLIE PIPER DIVORCED TWICE BY 33 Billie, 34, wed Chris Evans – 16 years her senior – in 2001, but they divorced in 2007. She went on to marry Laurence Fox later that year, but they divorced last May. CHERYL DIVORCED TWICE BY 33 Cheryl had a rocky marriage to Ashley Cole – which ended in 2010. She divorced second husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini last year, after 18 months of marriage.…

CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER STAR AND GBBO ADDICT NICOLA MCLEAN, 35, SAYS: “I’m a really big fan of the original. I have to say that the new line-up was definitely a shock. The show is obviously about baking and it screams homely, countryside living. Noel Fielding is known for his left-field, edgy type of comedy and I’m not sure that fits in with the sweet nature of the show. I wish they’d picked someone more mumsy and relatable. As for the other judges, I haven’t heard of Prue Leith and Sandi Toksvig – C4 are clearly going in a completely opposite direction. It’s sad because I think they’re making a huge mistake – like when Simon Cowell took Dermot O’Leary off The X Factor . It wasn’t the same show. Paul…

Actress Sophie Porley, 24, plays Ellie in Hollyoaks. Her character is involved in a storyline surrounding sexual consent. She says: “My character has a lot to drink and spends the night with a boy, but has no recollection of sleeping with him and doesn’t know if she’s been raped. “While I think the judge intended to be helpful, I don’t agree with her and I think her comments could be damaging. Women could feel an attack is their fault, or it could deter them from coming forward. “Of course women have a duty to protect themselves, but alcohol is often used as a scapegoat in rape cases. You wouldn’t blame the victim of a knife crime if they were drunk, so why do we do this with rape? “Instead of…

She’s undergone a dramatic transformation since she first graced our screens on Geordie Shore – having had Botox, a nose job, a brow lift, teeth veneers and lip fillers since she joined the show in 2015 aged just 19. But despite negative comments on social media – where trolls even compared her to Michael Jackson after her nose job – 21-year-old Chloe Ferry insists she has no regrets. HAVING MORE SURGERY “I’m really happy with the way I look,” she says. “I feel really confident at the moment. I don’t regret a thing – I would do all my surgery again in a heartbeat. “I hate the natural look – I’m all about the fake eyelashes, the big lips and the flawless skin. “My lips are what I love the…

TOWIE fans were stunned last week when it was revealed that show regular James “Arg” Argent slept with his ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright and former fling Gemma Collins on the same day in Marbella. Lydia, 27 – whose on/off romance with her former childhood sweetheart, 29, has played out on the show since it first aired in 2010 – was left reeling after finding out he’d slept with co-star Gemma, 36, before jumping into bed with her. The clearly shocked star said: “I had a plate of paella with Gemma the next day. We shared Arg the night before and a plate of paella the next day. I’m just in complete and utter emotional and physical shock.” To make matters worse, in the previous episode, Gemma confessed she didn’t use contraception…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Jennifer Hudson vs Nicky Hilton This military-style skirt with lace underlay commands attention, so Jennifer and Nicky sensibly pair the Self Portrait number with a black polo to keep it centre stage. Singer Jennifer adds tights and black ankle boots, while socialite Nicky glams it up in lace-up heels and bare legs. VERDICT Both ladies look good, but we’re loving Nicky’s more daring approach. STYLE CRUSH! RED ALERT Brie Larson, 27 Kong: Skull Island actress Brie went full-on Hollywood glamour and reached peak sophistication in this beautiful Oscar de la Renta gown. We love the crisscross neckline and structured silhouette, and the ankle-strap heels finish off the look perfectly. Simply stunning. SCALING UP Kristen Stewart, 26 After shaving her head, K-Stew’s rocking edgy glamour at the…

THE VERDICT Models Kelly and Kendall may share the same profession, but they couldn’t have styled this Toni Maticevski co-ord (£1,049) any more differently! Kendall opts for simple courts and a classic up-do, while Kelly teams her twosome with a pretty lace underlay. Nice move, Kelly! THE VERDICT The actresses go head to head in the same Victoria Beckham (£1,850) number. Anna may have worn hers first, but her low-key locks and mismatched accessories lack the wow factor. We’re giving Bryce the crown for her sleek hairdo and classic heels. THE VERDICT Former Made In Chelsea star Ashley and Little Mix singer Jade both work identical sequin Motel Rocks dresses (£50). It’s a tough one as both stars look seriously glam, but we think Ashley’s faux-fur coat and slick back-do…

LYDIA & DEBBIE: ‘We don’t let diets rule our lives!’ They’re the bubbly mother- and-daughter duo adored by TOWIE viewers for their on-screen heart-to-hearts. And it’s no surprise that Lydia Bright and mum Debbie Douglas are just as close off-screen. Lydia, 27, recently told Closer : “Mum and I see each other every day, usually at each other’s houses, or we go out for a meal or watch a movie. We’re a really close family.” And Debbie, 54, who is also mum to Georgia, 26, Freddie, 18, and 12-year-old Romana, reveals the pair have been brought closer by their love of exercise. She says: “We go to Zumba class at our local village hall – it’s great bonding time for us. Sometimes my 84-year-old mum comes along too, so there…

How much do you spend per week? If I’m buying just for me, I spend £50, but I live with my boyfriend and when we’re shopping together we can easily spend £100. We love cooking, so we’ll buy steaks, shellfish and other goodies. Describe your daily diet... I love eggs for breakfast, so I’ll have scrambled eggs and avocado, or an omelette with onions, cherry tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms and spinach. Lunch is a toasted chicken wrap, and dinner is a homemade burrito, fajitas or a homemade curry. Snack-wise I have peanut butter and banana on toast. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I’ve really gone off salmon. I think I overdid it at university – I ate it all the time with sweet chilli sauce and now I never…

TV’s Sarah Willingham reveals how to take control of your finances & make the most of your cash “I worked at a bakery for eight years but, last September, I was signed off with stress caused by family problems. I don’t know when I’ll be able to return to work. I get statutory sick pay of £400 per month and housing benefits of £180 per month, but it’s too little. “I was already in debt as my part-time salary was low, so I relied on credit cards. Last year I took out a loan of £11k to pay them off, but I’m struggling to pay back the loan. My credit card balances have crept up to £5.6k, too. My Barclaycard has £2.5k on it with an APR of 18.9%,…

According to recent research, only 65% of straight women orgasm during sex, compared to a toe-tingling 86% of gay women. Psychologists and sex therapists agree that much of this is down to the fact that straight women struggle to ask for what they want and need sexually. But every woman deserves to climax – orgasms help to promote intimacy, while also burning up to 100 calories. They feel amazing and make sex a habit you are happy to keep up, so here’s how to improve your chances of achieving “the big O.” HIT THE SPOT EVERY TIME • GIVE DIRECTIONS Penetration alone isn’t enough; clitoral stimulation is required to make you climax, and only you know how your man can stimulate yours satisfactorily.
