Inhoudsopgave van 4 April 2017 - Closer

It’s not unusual to draw inspiration from friends, but what happens when the desire to emulate a certain image goes too far? A growing number of celebs are almost indistinguishable from one another – with the same high-definition brows, identical overly-inflated lips and requisite pillow-face. On page 10, we investigate the shocking celebrity-led trend for cosmetic clones and speak to 20-year-old Bunny McKenzie, who admits to modelling her new surgery look on reality TV idol Chloe Khan. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to improve your appearance – but not at the expense of losing your individuality. LISA BURROW CLOSEREDITOR@CLOSERMAG.CO.UK…

It was almost a case of deja vu last week when warring exes Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell lashed out at each other once again on social media. The bitter exchanges came three weeks after Irish model Jeremy was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and assault on 16 March. He’d voluntarily attended a police station in Liverpool following an incident at Stephanie’s nearby home and was later released. TWITTER TIRADE Since then Steph – who had son Caben-Albi in January – has seemed to be blowing hot and cold over her ex. Closer recently revealed how Steph is torn over her feelings for Jeremy and was keen to have an amicable friendship, if nothing else. But the pair’s roller-coaster relationship took more twists and turns last week when Stephanie…

SOPHIE KASAEI The 27-year-old reality star – who’s had Botox and lip and cheek fillers – says: “It’s addictive... you want more and more. There’s also a massive pressure with fame to look good.” CHLOE FERRY After a nose job, lip fillers, an eyebrow lift, Botox, veneers and fillers – costing £50k – Chloe, 21, told Closer : “I don’t regret a thing.” Last week, she added: “I’m going to have my nostrils widened.” CHARLOTTE CROSBY After her £4k nose job in 2016, Charlotte, 26 – who’s also had Botox, lip fillers and tattooed eyebrows – said: “Looking in the mirror, I felt it was a different person looking back me.” AMY CHILDS Amy, 26, who’s had Botox and lip fillers, told Closer : “I was getting them [lips] done…

They’re two of the most high-profile men on the showbiz circuit, but they managed to keep their friendship under wraps until last week – when Jamie O’Hara revealed how his “good pal” Mark Wright had persuaded him to play for Billericay Town football club. But pals say Mark’s wife of two years, Michelle Keegan, 29 – who is preparing to spend eight months in South Africa filming the next series of Our Girl – is less than enamoured about the pair becoming too close. BLOSSOMING BROMANCE A source says: “Michelle totally trusts Mark but she knows he still enjoys a party, especially with his passion for DJing. She’s heard Jamie does too, so she’s not too keen on their bromance blossoming and the prospect of them going on nights out…

She made her first public appearance since filing for divorce, last week appearing at the press launch for America’s Got Talent. Now insiders say Mel B has asked her mum – who she recently reconciled with after 10 years of estrangement – to move to the US to support her through her marriage breakdown. FAMILY SUPPORT Insiders tell Closer how, despite putting on a brave face for the cameras, the emotionally-fraught star, 41, is struggling to cope behind the scenes. She wants, Andrea, 60, to temporarily move into her LA mansion to bond with her three grandchildren – Phoenix, 18, Angel, nine, and Madison, five. Mel – who recently flew back to the UK to attend her father Martin’s funeral – fell out with her family in 2007 after they…

She transformed her body following her split from husband Lamar Odom in 2013 – shedding 40lbs and slimming from a size 16 to a size 8, thanks to gruelling 5am daily workouts and a clean-eating diet. But pals fear Khloé Kardashian has now taken her quest for body perfection to the extreme as recent photos show her looking slimmer than ever. A source reveals: “Khloé has been regimented about exercise for years, but it’s recently stepped up a gear. She’s been waking up in the middle of the night to work out. Her diet is stricter than ever and she mostly eats just chicken breast with vegetables and boiled eggs.” Khloé, 32, turned to exercise as a form of therapy in the wake of her bitter split from Lamar, who…

They’re arguably the friendliest exes in showbiz, and Gary Lineker’s close relationship with ex-wife Danielle Bux continued to raise eyebrows last week when the pair were seen having a cosy lunch on Mother’s Day. Just hours after Danielle, 37 – who’s reportedly three months pregnant – made her baby news official, Gary took the Welsh model out for a bite to eat with her eldest daughter, Ella, 15, to publicly congratulate her. Danielle gushed about the news she’s expecting a baby with US lawyer Nate Greenwald, posting a picture of her bump on Instagram. Former England footballer Gary, 56, posted the snap to his five million Twitter followers and wrote: “Congratulations to you both. ” HER CLOSEST FRIEND A source says: “Danielle still considers Gary to be her closest friend…

Her sister Billie welcomed her second child, Arthur, just last month, but Sam Faiers – who gave birth to son Paul Tony in December 2015 with partner Paul Knightley – insists she won’t try for baby No.2 until she’s married. Sam has been dating Paul since 2014 after meeting him in a restaurant in Essex. The reality star tells Closer: “Billie and her fiancé Greg seem to have narrowed their wedding date, but they’ve done that before – then it’s changed! Everyone always asks when me and Paul will get engaged, but I’ve stopped hinting. “I want to be married before I have another baby though. But there’s no rush with number two. I wanted another straight away after having Paul, but now I realise that I’m still young and…

CLOSER PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “It’s worrying how drastically Martina’s changed her image. She’s clearly addicted to the high she gets from changing her body, but this isn’t healthy and will result in her damaging herself long term. Martina obviously enjoys getting attention, even if it’s negative, and this indicates a need for a reaction from others and being the centre of attention. Martina has the opposite of body dysmorphia – she thinks she looks good when the reality is she has drastically altered her appearance so she looks cartoon-like. Her obsession with tanning and surgery will be damaging to her mental and physical health. She’ll constantly be striving to look more extreme and this can only result in her ruining her looks for good. I recommend…

Hit comedy Car Share follows the hilarious conversations between workmates John and Kayleigh on their daily commute. Here are our best bits from series one: • Kayleigh spilling her urine sample over John’s shirt (“It smells of sweet and sour; it’s making me hungry!”).

As reports surfaced last week that they’re moving into an apartment at Kensington Palace together, insiders say Meghan Markle is preparing to uproot herself from Canada, where she’s based to film her TV show Suits. And according to pals, Meghan has given Prince Harry a relationship check-list to prepare for royal life. Insiders reveal Harry had been planning on attending a lads’ ski trip in Switzerland but Meghan, 35, has advised him not to go after his brother Prince William was mocked for his drunken dancing in a Verbier nightclub last month. An insider says: “Meghan discussed with Harry whether it was the right time for him to be going on holiday with his mates. She wants to protect him after what happened with William.

WHO WORE IT BEST? Christina Milian vs Michelle Dewberry Both Christina and Michelle turned heads in this chic plaid Balenciaga frock. Christina wore it first in December, teaming hers with strappy shoes and swept-back hair. Michelle showcased the same dress in March, layering up the statement-maker with a black top and adding courts. VERDICT Both ladies look amazing, but Christina’s fuss-free styling wins this week’s crown. STYLE CRUSH! POLKA DOT PERFECTION! Alexa Chung, 33 She’s known for wowing on the style front, but we’re dotty about Alexa’s draping bardot gown with shoulder detail.

Very.co.uk’s latest launch, fronted by actress Georgia May Foote, has taken key pieces from the mainline collection and redesigned them to suit shorter, smaller frames as well as incorporating new exclusive frocks and separates that’ll flatter petite fashion fans. Georgia says: “I’m 5ft and I’ve always struggled to find pieces on the high street that fit me properly. Everything from crop tops that don’t look cropped to playsuits that are too long in the body. I love this collection, as everything fits me like it should!” Covering everything from everyday basics to wedding-season showstoppers, this collection proves good…

trade secrets… Drying hair can be a chore , so most of us are guilty of blasting wet locks on the highest setting to get it done ASAP. Overly hot temperatures on soaking hair can cause a huge amount of damage, though, as it heats the water, which frazzles locks. Instead, pat-dry hair first, then spritz with a protective spray. Use your hairdryer on a low heat and always use a nozzle to direct the air downwards to avoid knots. Once hair is almost dry and feeling warm, give it a quick blast on a high setting. Your locks will be left smoother, stronger and looking shiny without any breakages. how to get a sultry glow like J-lo J-Lo’s chocolate-toned peepers were the perfect match for her brunette colouring, and…

‘Sam’s definitely an upgrade – I fancy him loads!’ She’s been unlucky in love in the past and was left devastated in 2015, when she split from her fiancé Luke Sanwo after four years together. But Josie Gibson tells Closer she’s well and truly over her ex and is head over heels for her new man Sam. Josie met the engineer in her local gym and says that despite dating for just a few weeks, they’ve already discussed marriage and kids. The former Big Brother star, who previously said she didn’t want to ruin her body through pregnancy after famously shedding 6st in 2012, says: “Me and Sam were eyeing each other up in the gym for a while before going out. He’s so fit and muscular. He’s met my…

TV presenter Fern Britton, 59, opens up about her postnatal depression “Everyone tells you that having a baby is going to be perfect, so you try to be a perfect mum. But I was lonely and frightened. I felt lost, and I couldn’t identify with who I was any more. When the doctor diagnosed me with postnatal depression, I felt a sense of relief that I wasn’t going mad. Once my family knew, and were there for me, I started to get better – it was a wonderful feeling.”…

‘Cheryl’s besotted – her world is about the baby’ After one of the most talked about celeb pregnancies ever, Cheryl and Liam Payne finally announced she’d given birth to a 7lb 9oz baby boy last week, with Cheryl saying: “He’s already stealing hearts,” and Liam, 23, joking: “When the fourth nappy happens in 5 minutes.” Pals say Cheryl, 33, is overjoyed to finally be a mum and is retreating into a baby bubble – relishing the first few precious weeks. SPECIAL TIME A source says: “Cheryl and Liam are holed up at his Surrey mansion enjoying this special time. Cheryl is besotted. She’s joking she doesn’t even want to wash her hair as it’d take her away from him for too long. She’s happy just staring at him, and stroking…

Soaking up the sunshine in the Maldives with husband Kieran Hayler and her five children last week, Jordan couldn’t resist flaunting her bikini body – even striding into the surf topless for all to see. And Closer can reveal that the surgery-obsessed star – who’s notorious for spending an estimated £100,000 on past procedures, including 11 boob jobs, a nose job, teeth veneers, liposuction, Botox and lip fillers – went to extreme lengths in a bid to look her sexiest ever for the holiday, splashing out £20,000 on treatments. SURGERY SPREE And pals say Jordan – real name Katie Price – went on her surgery shopping spree in a mission to put the spark back into her marriage and boost her self-esteem, after Kieran cheated on her in 2014 with…

When Bunny McKenzie went to her surgeon last month to discuss having a boob job, she took along a photo of her idol, reality TV star Chloe Khan. She was clear in her mind that she wanted 32HH-cup boobs like her and has also had four lots of fillers to recreate the star’s plump pout. Bunny, 20, lives in Bristol and is a part-time glamour model, but works in a call centre to make ends meet. She has spent a staggering £9k on a boob job , fillers and hair extensions. GOING BIGGER She says: “I look at the reality TV stars and I think they’re perfect; their make-up is immaculate and they seem so confident. I’d love to have their lives; looking like them is a start. “I particularly…

When Kathriona Connelly lost her baby at 34 weeks, the pain she suffered was unimaginable. Her daughter Gloria was born prematurely, just hours after doctors broke the devastating news that they couldn’t find a heartbeat. Kathriona, 34, says: “I sobbed constantly as I laboured for two hours before giving birth. There are no words to describe the agony of having to say hello and goodbye to your child all at once.” But the one thing that helped her through her grief was using a cuddle cot, which enabled her to spend five days with her precious baby. A cuddle cot is essentially a cooling mattress that stops the baby’s body deteriorating, and can be placed in a cot or even a pram. It allows parents to stay with them for…

She’s been open about her depression in the past – and last week Kerry Katona admitted she’d been feeling low when she candidly posted about her mental health on social media. The Atomic Kitten star, 36 – who has been plagued by romance woes since marrying ex con George Kay, also 36, in 2014 – wrote on her Twitter and Instagram: “Feeling a little blue today” and “From depression, I am bipolar, I get my feelings hurt real easy, but I love with everything in me,” prompting a barrage of support from her fans. Adding to the heartache, Kerry’s 15-year-old daughter Molly is reportedly set to leave the Essex family home and move to Ireland to live with her paternal grandparents to concentrate on her studies. Now pals say the…

Leisha Lush has stood by both her sisters – pub worker Amy Buller, 35, and Katie Evans, 45, a full-time mum to Jessica, 20, Ben, 18, Lucy, 13, and Emily, seven – as they’ve undergone treatment for breast cancer. Now Leisha has yearly mammograms to test for the disease. Leisha, 43, says: “I really feel for Coleen Nolan. Both my sisters were diagnosed with breast cancer within a month of each other and it was so tough watching them go through it. I’d have done anything to take away their pain. “It was in November 2015 that my dad called me to tell me that Amy had cancer. I was devastated for her – she was so young and active, it was hard to believe she really had cancer. “We…

KATE BECKINSALE AND MICHAEL SHEEN The pair’s eight-year relationship ended in 2003, but Kate, 43, and Michael, 48, have stayed friends while co-parenting their 18-year-old daughter Lily. Last year, the couple even recreated a photo depicting the moment Lily was born. KATE HUDSON AND MATT BELLAMY They split in 2014 but Kate, 37, and Matt, 38, regularly spend time together.

MY BODY COMES SECOND NOW... Your priorities shift when you have a baby and you have to appreciate your body for the baby it's given you. I STRUGGLE TO FIND THE TIME TO WORK OUT… I used to attempt evening workouts when baby Paul was asleep, but there's just not enough time and I was knackered. I’D LOVE TO TONE UP. My arms, bottom and stomach aren't as toned as they used to be. I don't want to lose more weight but it would be great to get firmer for summer. I’M MORE CONFIDENT AND ACCEPTING OF MY SHAPE... My goal before a baby was always to look my best on holiday. I'd diet and go to the gym as often as I could. I'm much more relaxed now.…

You’ve both become famous for sharing a steady stream of loved-up selfies and flaunting your bodies on social media. How many photos do you take to get the perfect shot? RYAN, 26: We’ve taken about 15 million selfies! In Paris, we used six candles to prop up our camera so we could get a good photo. LOUISE, 27: It’s a bit time-consuming. Before I met Ryan, I would be like: “What are you doing, that’s so sad!” But now I love wandering around with my camera and taking loads of pics. Ryan, you’ve been accused of being too jealous of Louise’s exes on Made In Chelsea. Do you think the show portrays you fairly? RYAN: It’s not a fair representation of me. I trust Louise completely. People label me as…

Australian models and best pals Georgia Gibbs and Kate Wasley were stunned when a recent snap of them in bikinis became an overnight internet sensation because of their different body shapes. But some critics turned on size 6 Georgia, accusing her of PhotoShopping her size 16 friend Kate to make her look “bigger” – with some even claiming she was “bodyshaming” her curvier friend. The Sydney-based models and pals of three years, who say they exercise and eat similar things, were horrified by the suggestion they’d edited the snaps. They set up the AnyBODY Instagram account (@any.body_co) to try to end the stigma over body shapes. Georgia, 21, says: “The PhotoShopping claims broke my heart – Kate and I are best friends, why would I do that? Everyone is far…

They’ve been playing down their blossoming relationship since they met on The Jump in March, but Spencer Matthews and Vogue Williams went public with their romance last weekend after they shared a kiss during a trip to Disneyland Paris. And pals say the reality star’s so smitten, he wants Vogue to be his plus one at his brother James’ wedding to Pippa Middleton. A source tells Closer: “Spencer has already told friends how he sees Vogue as ‘wife material’ and he’s set to introduce her to James and Pippa at a family dinner early next month. He’s urging Pippa to include Vogue in her hen celebrations.” Vogue, 31, split from Westlife star Brian McFadden after three years of marriage in 2015. She was then linked to Laurence Fox after they…

She was a glamour model in the ’90s and has famously spent £1.5m on plastic surgery – but after having most of her procedures reversed, Alicia Douvall says she’s gone back to lingerie modelling and has never felt so comfortable in her own skin. The mum-of-two, 37, began modelling in her twenties, but her plastic surgery addiction overshadowed her original fame, with the star admitting to having 400 cosmetic procedures, including 16 boob jobs, seven nose jobs and even toe surgery to get more dainty feet. But after vowing to go surgery-free in 2013, Alicia has overcome her obsession and returned to modelling feeling better than ever. She says: “I’m nearly 38 and I feel better now than ever. I love my body and I’m at peace with how I…

“I’VE HAD A FAB PARTY LIFE, BUT NOW MY DAYS ARE FAMILY ORIENTATED IN GERRARDS CROSS, A SMALL BUCKINGHAMSHIRE TOWN. I get up at around 7.30am to spend time with my youngest children, Rosabella, three, and Angelo, one. Then my wife Bella takes Rosabella to school. Breakfast is coffee, toast and a banana. WE HAVE A HOUSEKEEPER AND GARDENER, SO THEY KEEP THE GROUNDS IN CHECK, BUT SOMETIMES I’LL DO SOME CHORES. I take the rubbish to the dump in the Mercedes, then I’ll meet Bella and Angelo for lunch in a little local coffee shop. WE’LL PLAY WHEN ROSABELLA FINISHES SCHOOL – IN THE GARDEN IF IT’S NICE WEATHER. I’m in my seventies, but I run around with them and that’s my exercise! I’LL COOK OR WE’LL GO…

Not ready to bare all just yet? Showcase your short-sleeved dress over a statement shirt and your favourite skinny jeans for a preppy daytime look that will tide you over until the weather warms up. Sheer slips can be worn over just about anything in your wardrobe. Keep it pretty by layering over a white shirt dress and high-shine shoes. Layering still works in the summer. Just ditch the jeans and go for laid-back glossy accessories. Don’t save your posh frock for fancy events. A slouchy sweat will instantly take a silky number into daytime territory, while an extra-wide belt will give it some attitude. Wearing a bralet doesn’t have to mean flashing your tummy! Instead, layer a silky cropped piece over a patterned top and pencil skirt for a…

SOFT & GENTLE The combination of almond and honey smells good enough to eat and quickly got to work on soothing dry and tight skin without feeling greasy. It was gentle enough for sensitive skin types, too. HYDRATING Just a pea-sized amount of this buttery cream was enough to hydrate and soften tired hands in need of TLC. It’s designed to perk up skin, but it also nourished nails and cuticles after just one use. HARDWORKING Designed to tackle seriously chapped and flaky hands, the shea butter quenched the thirst of dry skin after just a couple of uses. It took a little while to absorb, but kept pinkies hydrated for hours.…

1. SET A GOAL “Envision your dream body and make sure that image is in sight every day. As I began my weight-loss journey, I placed an iconic image of actress Raquel Welch on my fridge to keep me motivated.” 2. TRACK YOUR RESULTS “Take a picture when you begin your journey and every week thereafter. People who track their results are 98 per cent more likely to achieve their health and fitness goals” 3. KEEP YOUR DIET IN CHECK “Throw away any processed, high-fat and sugary foods in your cupboards and make sure you read your food labels! Your body is the most important piece of kit you’ll ever own – you need to know what’s fuelling it.” 4. FOCUS ON WHY YOU'RE DOING IT “Note down every single…

How much do you spend a week? My food shop is expensive, I can’t deny it! I spend around £100 a week. Describe your daily diet… Breakfast is usually porridge with a handful of raisins, and I’ll have scrambled eggs with avocado and chorizo sausage at the weekends. Lunch is typically crackers with tuna and sweetcorn, or a tuna and onion salad. For dinner, I’ll have either a salmon, chicken or prawn stir-fry. I tend to snack on mixed nuts, or if I’m out and about I’ll grab a fruit yoghurt from Pret. I’m not super-healthy every day, and when it comes to chocolate I have no willpower whatsoever. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I used to hate oysters because they were so slimy, but I tried them…

 “I’m from Manchester, but I now live in south London with my boyfriend Mat and our pal Elisabeth. The three of us get on really well, but Mat and I would like to have our own place in London. Mat earns £25,000 as a client services coordinator, while I earn £26,000 as a consultant – but a big chunk of my wages pays off student loans. This quarter, my bonus will be around £1,700, but my loan repayment will increase from £80 to £200. I’ve managed to save £2,300 and I recently opened a Help To Buy ISA, which has £2,000 in it. However I owe my mum £2,000 and I’m not putting any money into my pension. I typically overspend on eating and drinking out, and I love going…

New research measured mood and eating behaviours and found that the following emotions lead to overeating: anger, anxiety, boredom, happiness and sadness. Our relationship with food needs to be less emotional. The first step to achieving that is to learn what being hungry feels like, so that means tummy rumbling. Wait for your body, not your mind, to say it needs food before eating your next meal. And when these emotional “hunger cues” hit, use other means to see them off… WAYS TO KEEP YOUR FEELINGS IN CHECK • DIFFUSE ANGER Rage can make you feel self-destructive, encouraging you to do the opposite of what’s good for you. Combat that by changing your environment, calling a friend, getting some air or writing down how you feel, instead of gobbling sweets.…

DREDD DIRTY COP SAT 8 APR, 10.35PM, C4 Karl Urban lays down the law in this gritty comic-book adap. Acting with just his chin (that helmet never comes off), his Judge Dredd battles a slimy drug baron ( Game Of Thrones star Lena Headey) in a futuristic high-rise that’s been placed in lockdown. Gripping, gory stuff – though you’ll be peeping through your fingers for most of it. LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING NOW THIS IS HOW YOU DO AN EPIC! GOOD FRIDAY, 7.25PM, ITV2 Yes it’s long (three-hours plus!), yes it stars a load of hairy-footed hobbits and yes it’s pant-wettingly scary in places, but it’s all worth it to enjoy Peter Jackson’s fantastic Tolkien adaptation all over again as teeny…

They’ve been good friends ever since they climbed Mount Kilimanjaro together for Comic Relief in 2009, and Alesha Dixon tells Closer she’s thrilled for new mum Cheryl, saying: “I’m over the moon for her. Absolutely.” Throughout the pregnancy, Cheryl refused to confirm she was expecting, instead opting to keep things under wraps and it’s something Alesha – who has Azura, three, with partner Azuka Ononye – admires. Alesha, 38, says: “It’s great when someone in the public eye can keep something to themselves. Everyone has the right to do that. As a public figure, you put out what you choose the public to see and you’re perfectly entitled to be private. It’s not easy to do. I can understand why Cheryl did it, though. I admire her for it.” The…

£5,000 ON HER 11TH BOOB JOB Jordan underwent her eleventh boob job last summer to boost her bust to a 32GG. £1,000 ON LIPOFIRM In November, she posted about her perfectly pert bottom – the result of non-surgical body contouring treatment Lipofirm. £1,000 ON LASER TREATMENTS She uploaded a video that same month having laser treatments on her stomach and thighs. £4,500 ON SKIN TIGHTENING Before Christmas, Jordan had a geneO+ oxygenation treatment to tighten and rejuvenate her skin. £3,000 ON LASER FAT BURNING She reportedly gets regular top-ups of laser lipo – a non-invasive way of removing body fat. £350 ON BOTOX Jordan is a big fan of Botox and has injections every six months. £5,000 ON A FACELIFT Last month, she was seen with a scar on her…

Former Page 3 girl and ex-glamour model Nicola McLean, 35, (right) shot to fame in the ’90s as a contemporary to Jordan after enhancing her breasts from a C to a GG-cup. She says having work done to your face is unwise, telling Closer : “I feel lucky I’m not part of the ‘face trend’ era – I love reality TV and the girls I know from the shows are really lovely. But they’re all beginning to look the same as they’re having the same procedures. “I had a boob job when they were the ‘in’ thing. Now, if I want to hide my boobs I can wear different tops or have the implants removed. But you can’t hide your face and it’s harder to reverse the treatments. It’s odd…

Kym Marsh captured the hearts of the nation this year with her heartbreaking portrayal of stillbirth in Corrie. But the emotional scenes were especially harrowing for the actress, who spoke of her own personal torment when she revealed she had lost her son, Archie, at 23 weeks in 2009. But Kym, 40, was determined to raise awareness of the topic. She said: “I’ve had to go to some really dark places when filming the heartbreaking scenes. Losing a child is something that never leaves you, so revisiting those feelings was a challenge.” Kym’s now calling for the law to be changed so that parents of stillborn babies are given birth certificates. She said: “The fact I didn’t get one for Archie means that there’s no record of him. That shouldn’t…

She’s already been advised by doctors not to get pregnant again but, last week, Kim Kardashian dropped the bombshell that she wants a third child. Despite swearing off having another baby after giving birth to son Saint in December 2015, the 36-year-old star – also mum to North, three – sparked pregnancy rumours when she was spotted leaving a prenatal clinic, and made the shocking revelation in a teaser for Keeping Up With The Kardashians. DRAMATIC U-TURN Closer previously reported in February that Kim had made a dramatic U-turn following her terrifying attack in Paris and Kanye’s nervous breakdown in November, telling pals she’d do anything for a third baby. Now insiders say she’s turned to her mum Kris Jenner, 61, for help. A source says: “Kim’s had the worst…

A heartbroken Coleen Nolan, 52, appeared on Loose Women last week and explained the tragic reason behind her time away from the public eye. Sadly, Coleen’s older sister, Linda, has been diagnosed with secondary cancer. Six years after she thought she’d beaten the disease, she received the devastating news that it had returned and spread to her bones. Coleen explained that Linda’s cancer isn’t curable, but it is treatable – and she emphasised that 58-year-old Linda isn’t dying. But for the Nolan family, it’s a traumatic diagnosis, especially as their sister Bernie died from breast cancer aged 52 in 2013. Coleen has previously admitted that she’s terrified she’ll also get the disease, revealing: “Bernie was 50 when she got cancer and then died at 53. I keep thinking, ‘Bernie must…

‘People often stare – but I’m happy with how I look’ With her peroxide hair, eye-watering 32S-cup cleavage and tiny size 6 frame, Martina Big has gone to extreme lengths to create her ultimate Barbie look. But she hasn’t stopped there. The model is so obsessed with getting the deepest tan possible, she’s also started having tanning injections – as well as regular sunbed sessions – to stand out from the crowd. EXTREME IMAGE Now Martina – whose surgeon uses a pump to inflate her breasts with saline – plans to have further surgery including a bum lift, and says her boyfriend Michael, 29, who works as her manager, loves her cartoon-like look. The 28-year-old, from Luxembourg, says: “People might think my image is extreme, but I love it. I…

Betsy Green and Charlotte Taylor are best friends, but couldn’t be more different when it comes to body shape. Fitness writer Betsy, 27, has always been a slim size 6-8, while lab technician Charlotte, 28, is currently a size 22. LONG-TIME FRIENDS However, both women reveal their different sizes have never been an issue. Charlotte says: “I couldn’t believe the backlash Georgia and Kate received over their different body shapes. People are far too focused on weight and will find any reason to be judgemental. As long as they’re happy, that’s the most important thing.” Betsy and Charlotte have been friends since they were 16, after meeting at sixth form in their home town of Bridlington, but admit they had different approaches to diet and fitness. Charlotte, who’s 5ft 8,…

People are understandably terrified of lumps. But in younger, healthy people, they’re most likely to be a harmless cyst, wart or minor infection. Being frightened of a cancer diagnosis is usually the reason people don’t go to the doctor, but I’d encourage you to go – it’s the only way you’ll know for sure. SEE THE GP ABOUT BREAST LUMPS Nine out of 10 breast lumps won’t be breast cancer, but you should always see your GP. At least half of women have slightly lumpy breasts during their cycle, thanks to hormonal changes, so if you’re near to or on your period and your breasts feel tender and lumpy, wait a week or so and then have another feel. Other harmless reasons for lumps and bumps in your breasts would…

5 MINUTES WITH... Episodes star Stephen Mangan, 48, guest stars on this week’s Drunk History on Comedy Central, where celebrities act out historical tales... What’s Drunk History all about? The concept of Drunk History involves actors getting sloshed and re-telling historical stories. It’s a great idea, because the tales get told in a completely different way. It’s very funny and you get to work with great actors. Are you the one getting tipsy? No! The storytellers were sitting in a warm room getting drunk while I was in tights in the middle of a field dressed as a king. You have to lip-sync the actors telling the story; is that difficult? Yes, because they’re drunk. You have to wander around with headphones on, with a drunk…
