Age has had little effect on the super-toned bodies of Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lopez, who at 49 have both revealed figures [p32] that would give most 20-somethings a run for their money. Although the cynics among us might say the A-listers have it easy, with personal trainers, nutritionists and chefs at their beck and call. Refreshingly, we’ve spoken to Cornish grandmother Natalie King [p42] this week, who like Jen and J-Lo, is also 49 and has a similarly fabulous figure. After piling on the pounds following the births of her six children, Natalie opted for the more conventional – and affordable – route of joining her local slimming club. She’s now 14st lighter and, after completing her transformation, is a dead-ringer for Pamela Anderson! If you were in need…

They’ve had a turbulent romance since they started seeing each other in 2016 and split last summer. But after giving the relationship a second go and reuniting in March this year, it appeared to be on the rocks again last week when Lauren hinted her jailbird beau Joey Morrison had cheated on her. Suggesting that someone had contacted her and dished the dirt on Joey, she posted, “Well, had a very shocking phone call this morning. Does any other girls want to come forward? Please feel free to contact me as I no half of you have already sold the story… Nice way for me to find out, but thank you! You’ve saved me!” She added, “Just feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders!!!! Two years waited,…

‘SHE SAYS MONEY IS NO OBJECT AND WANTS TO USE THE BEST DOCTOR IN THE WORLD’ Her hopes of a happy ending with on/off beau James “Arg” Argent were crushed last week when it was revealed the pair had split – just three months after discussing their desire to start a family together. But pals say Gemma Collins, 37 – who reportedly dumped Arg, 30, after growing tired of his party lifestyle – is still determined to pursue her baby dream, no matter what. FIERY ROWS A source says, “Gemma couldn’t take Arg’s immature behaviour any more and the fiery rows were affecting her so badly, she knew she had to end it. “As much as she loves Arg and was desperate to have her happy-ever-after, with marriage and kids,…

There was widespread shock and outrage last year when a video was released of workers at a German zoo beating baby elephants to make them perform tricks for holidaymakers. The animals were attacked with iron rods and whipped into submission – with one calf screaming out loudly in pain as it was dragged around by the neck by its trainer. The damning footage was filmed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) at Hanover Zoo. But although the clip caused uproar among animal lovers, zoo director Andreas Casdorff claimed the elephants needed to be trained “to establish a relationship between humans and animals”. Shockingly, prosecutors concluded the zoo keepers acted within the law. ABUSE & NEGLECT However, the elephants at Hanover Zoo aren’t the only ones to suffer…

Animal cruelty on holiday extends far beyond just entertainment. Wendy says, “Don’t buy souvenirs made from wild animal parts, such as sea turtle shells, fur or ivory. Anything made from these materials will have caused the animal to suffer and can also help support the poaching and trafficking of wild animals. Likewise, if you want to take home some photos to remember your trip by, never pay to have your photo taken with animals such as parrots, monkeys or wild cats – as they are often sedated with drugs to make them easier to handle. Sometimes they are also beaten and have their teeth or claws removed. Before you purchase a souvenir, stop to consider its origin. Traditional Chinese medicines should also be avoided.”…

She appeared to have turned her life around after a turbulent battle with alcohol and drug addiction, marking six years of sobriety in March. But just a month after admitting in a new song that she had since relapsed, Hollywood superstar Demi Lovato, 25, was found unconscious at her LA home following a suspected heroin overdose. Soon after the news broke, a rep confirmed that she was awake and recovering with her family, and a flood of A-listers took to Twitter to show their support. Kerry Perry Tweeted, “love & strength to you @ddlovato we’re all here for you baby girl”, while Kim Kardashian added, “Sending lots of light and prayers to you baby girl@ddlovato.” Demi found fame at just 16 after starring in the 2008 Disney Channel film Camp…

Amber Davies found love with Kem Cetinay during her time in the Love Island villa last year and the pair went on to be crowned the show’s winners. But the romance soon struggled on the outside and they split just five months later. Speaking to Closer , Amber, 21, urges this year’s contestants to not make the same mistakes. She explains, “While you’ll have the most amazing opportunities, it’s hard to spend a lot of time with a partner. And time is so precious because if you don’t see each other, it’s so easy for things to fizzle out. Me and Kem got booked for club appearances but we’d rarely work together, so often we’d be at opposite ends of the country. While I knew Kem’s head would never be…

Their future has remained unclear since their shock split in May. And insiders say tensions between Jacqueline Jossa and estranged husband Dan Osborne have now reached boiling point over reports he’s set to enter the Celebrity Big Brother house with Love Island’s Gabby Allen. Dan, 27, was accused of cheating on Jacqueline with Gabby, 26, by her ex Marcel Somerville, when they were at a Marbella fitness camp together in April – something they both denied. A source reveals, “Jac has told Dan not to humiliate her if he goes into the house and wants him to stay away from Gabby. He’s always denied cheating with Gabby, but the rumours still left Jac humiliated. She feels producers on the show will encourage them to flirt and create drama that will…

We’re all under so much pressure to look our best on social media. In fact, I was reading recently that 60 per cent of teens feel a pressure to look “perfect”, with two thirds of them saying that celebrities are responsible for them feeling this way. People in the limelight definitely have a moral responsibility for promoting inner confidence. I’ve always tried to show both sides of everything. I’ll post pictures from photo shoots, but I’ll also share pictures without make-up. I show my followers when I’m getting my hair and make-up done and the effort that’s gone into my look. I know the editing that goes into it. But to someone who doesn’t know, and thinks most celebs just woke up this way, it can be very damaging to…

She’s previously spoken about her delight in being a stepmum, revealing that while it was a tough role to take on, banishing the traditional idea of the “evil stepmother” had become her main focus. Now three years on since she married retired footballer Frank Lampard, presenter Christine Lampard, 39, is expecting their first child together and says her role with Frank’s daughters, Luna, 13, and Isla, 11 – from his previous relationship with Elen Rivas – has proved to be an invaluable experience. The TV star – who is thought to be due around September – explains, “Being a stepmum has definitely helped prepare me. I’ve spent time with the girls since they were four and two, so I have been through the toddler years, starting school, and the teen…

Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts has revealed the devastating effects of being stalked by her ex-boyfriend. The 32-year-old singer was harassed by former soldier Carl Davies when they broke up in 2008. Shockingly, Davies sent her 3,000 messages from 35 fake social media accounts – even making death threats. Opening up last week about her ordeal, Nicola said, “You are too scared to take the dogs out for a walk because when someone plants vicious seeds you just imagine every possible outcome. “This is a relationship which ended ten years ago. I should be able to move on from an unhealthy relationship if I want to and that has not been able to happen for me.” Davies received a lifetime restraining order last year and was banned from looking at…

‘PEOPLE THINK I LOOK 20 YEARS YOUNGER – I’VE EVEN HAD MODELLING OFFERS’ When Natalie King posts a picture on her Instagram page, she always gets several comments on how much she looks like Hollywood bombshell Pamela Anderson. And with her long blonde hair, ample cleavage and curvy figure, it’s easy to see why. Natalie, a 49-year-old hairdresser from Newquay, Cornwall, is flattered by the comparison, especially as she used to weigh over 26st and felt frumpy and miserable. Mum-of-six Natalie says, “At my biggest in 2010, I weighed 26st 6lbs and was a size 28. I struggled to walk as I’d get so out of breath. I was miserable and felt too embarrassed to leave the house.” But Natalie completely transformed her look after shedding over 14st following the…

You can hardly scroll through Instagram these days without seeing a pouting Kardashian. But when the youngest member of the clan, Kylie Jenner, posted a selfie earlier this month, there was something different about her famously injected pout. When fans asked whether she’d had her lip fillers removed, the reality star confirmed that she had indeed reversed the look that propelled her to superstardom. At just 20, Kylie’s worth £600m thanks in part to Kylie Cosmetics – a make-up range aimed at those wishing to recreate her pout. Sources also claimed her baby Stormi was a factor, saying Kylie “fell in love with the natural look” during pregnancy. With a recent survey from Beauty BLVD reporting 60 per cent* of British women are happy with their natural lips, it seems…

How much do you spend? Around £100 a week It makes me feel sick thinking about it, but it’s only so much because my boyfriend [former co-star James Dunmore] eats a lot! I like going to Whole Foods, but I also like to shop at Ocado. Describe your daily diet... At the moment, I’m having the plant-based granola from W.K Kellogg with cashew milk for breakfast. Lunch is usually a stir-fry with pak choi, mushrooms, peppers, mangetout and tofu with brown rice, or I’ll have a veggie pasta dish. I like to have a light dinner, usually a vegan lasagne or tofu noodle soup. Is there anything you refuse to eat? I’ve been pescatarian for most of my life, then I became vegan three years ago. I don’t eat coriander…

FAMILY MATTERS HOW TO GET KIDS TO LOVE THEIR VEGGIES! Research shows that sensory-based food education is the secret to feeding picky eaters – Emma agrees Tempting as it is, sneaking vegetables into recipes isn’t the best way to get children to eat them. New research has found that encouraging three to five-year- olds to use all five senses – taste, sight, touch, smell and sound – makes even fussy eaters tuck in, because it’s fun! I wouldn’t eat strawberries growing up, so my mum took me to a pick-your- own farm. They then became my favourite fruit, because plucking them straight from a plant suddenly made them enticing. A child needs to taste something around 14 times before it feels natural, so always put a little on their plate…

Tell us about the new series of Made In Chelsea ? There are new faces – and a lot of falling out between friends, which is probably normal… This is the summer special, so we’re in Croatia. It’s been fun – and yes, Digby [Olivia’s fellow co-star and on/off boyfriend Digby Edgley] IS out here, and you’ll see more about what we’re like as a couple. You were getting grief about that particular romance last series… Oh, I mean they [Liv’s fellow MIC stars] wouldn’t shut up, would they? Nosey parkers! Digby’s got to know everyone a bit better now, so it’s nice for me now that we share the same friends. Can you share any filming highlights with us? I learnt the Croatian dance [readers:…

And this, Sam, is the reason you’ll never visit Closer towers. You’re not putting that bare bum on our pastel sofas! Looks like Rita’s love life is currently as hot as ours. Home alone, in bed with a packet of crisps. Kill us now… KATY PERRY... How could we forget, Katy, when most of the men we’ve dated still are. #losers OLLIE LOCKE... True fact, Ollie. Slow Loris was the name of the Lollipop lady outside our school. Took her five minutes to get from one side of the road to the other… GORDON RAMSAY Gordon’s not just a foul-mouthed chef, he’s also a natural comedian. And here’s the proof – a photo of him “kidding” around. At least he’s not the “butt” of the joke. That’s a great view,…

‘IT’S BEEN PAINFUL TO ACCEPT IT’S ALL OVER… BUT SHE’S READY TO GET BACK OUT THERE’ In the month since her split from Liam Payne, Cheryl has performed a drastic U-turn, returning to the spotlight with a vengeance. The singer – who went into hiding after having 16-month-old son Bear – has recently been photographed in public and is now gearing up for a music comeback after a three-year hiatus. Last week, 35-year-old Cheryl filmed a cameo role in children’s film Four Kids And It , while her fifth solo album is due out later this year, and she’ll make her debut on new reality show The Greatest Dancer next year. And now friends say she’s overhauling her entire life, including her love life, after witnessing Liam, 24, partying with…

‘SHE WORRIES STAYING CLOSE TO MUTUAL FRIENDS WILL JUST REMIND HER OF THE SPLIT’ She was left devastated when her estranged husband Ant McPartlin’s romance with PA and former friend Anne-Marie Corbett was exposed last month. But after jetting to LA to recover from her heartache, Lisa Armstrong looked the picture of happiness as she was spotted soaking up the Californian sunshine. REVENGE MAKEOVER Insiders recently revealed to Closer that the make-up artist – who has dyed her pink hair blonde – was plotting a revenge makeover, and last week she marked her fresh start by getting a tattoo of dog paws and a matching symbol of strength on her wrist. Just days earlier, Lisa, 41, had been rocked by new photos of Ant, 42, on a double date with…

‘SHE’S SICK OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH HATERS AND PROVE THEIR MARRIAGE IS SOLID’ They’ve continued to prove their critics wrong despite repeated reports of trouble in their marriage, but after cruel trolls speculated online over whether Mark Wright has been unfaithful, pals say wife Michelle Keegan has been left in tears. Commenting on a story online last week following Mark’s revelation that working in LA and having a long-distance marriage “is not the easiest”, one mean commenter said, “You know he has a side bit in LA.” Another wrote, “Hate to be a cynic but surely he’s cheated by now.” While a third hater remarked, “Better start getting out the smallest violin Mark. That divorce is coming your way sooner or later.” A source says, “Michelle knows there’s no…

In many countries there are little or no regulations at zoos to protect animals’ welfare – meaning they can spend their entire lives trapped in tiny barren cages or concrete pits. They also breed animals to entice tourists, with the promise of cute babies. Tragically, however, there is often nowhere to put the young animals and, as a result, they are sometimes killed. Wendy says, “Poor quality zoos can be an animal welfare nightmare, keeping wild species in deprived conditions, which fail to meet their complex physical and psychological needs, and denying them proper care. It’s far better to see animals in the wild, where you can observe their natural behaviour”.…

Animal rides may seem like harmless fun, but they can actually be incredibly damaging for the creatures involved. Elephant and camel treks are popular in tourist areas across Asia, especially in India and Thailand, but the animals are usually caught from the wild as babies and brutally beaten using a sharp iron rod – called a bullhook – until they accept riders. Donkeys also fall victim to abuse. Wendy explains, “Donkeys across Europe can be forced to carry tourists without breaks or proper shade and refreshment. They receive little or no veterinary treatment for injuries, and all these animals can suffer cruel training methods such as beatings with whips and sticks or being chained up for hours. This treatment of animals can have hugely detrimental effects on their physical and…

BRITNEY SPEARS, 36 She became a megastar at the tender age of 16 – but Britney had been in the spotlight since she was nine, after joining Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club. For nearly a decade, she was the perfect pop princess, until she shocked the world in 2007. After shaving her head and being pictured thrashing a car with an umbrella, it became clear that there was something darker going on. Britney was placed under “psychiatric hold” and lost custody of her sons. Gradually, she has gained control of her life and has since re-established herself as a pop icon, with her focus on family. SELENA GOMEZ, 26 Selena stepped in front of a camera when she was eight years old in kids’ show Barney. A host of Disney roles…

She sparked speculation that she was engaged to toyboy boyfriend Adil Rami last week, after being spotted wearing a diamond ring. But while Pamela Anderson appeared to remain tight-lipped on the rumours, she did open up about her racy past and love life – and made some risqué claims about her experiences of group sex. The Baywatch star, 51 – who has been married to rocker Tommy Lee, 55, rapper Kid Rock, 47, and poker player Rick Salomon, 49 – said, “I have never had a threesome or group sex in a positive way. But each to their own. All my lovers were too jealous. Except for maybe one that fantasised about me being with a woman and watching us. It sounds tempting sometimes.” Pamela – who has two sons…

With the next series of Celebrity Big Brother about to hit our screens in August, Nikki, who starred on Big Brother series seven in 2006, says, “My advice to the contestants would be to enjoy it, be yourself and live it to the full. But it is an intense environment. You have to be prepared to take the rough with the smooth and it’s not going to be easy. You have to be quite strong to withstand it all. Should we still have a show like it? Well, it’s a national treasure and it was one of the first out of all the reality shows. It will always be the best. I adore it and will watch it until the bitter end. “It can be psychologically harmful to go on…

“I’VE BEEN OUT IN ITALY FILMING FOR MY NEW SHOW True Love Or True Lies?, which has been incredible, but has really shaken up my routine. I film late, so I’ve been having lie-ins and getting up at 10am recently, which has been lovely! FOR BREAKFAST, I ALWAYS MIX IT UP. I’m currently loving toast with sliced banana. Exercise has gone by the wayside a bit, but if I fancy a workout, I put on some music and dance around my room while holding weights for a few tracks. THEN I’LL PREPARE FOR THE DAY AHEAD. The show is about couples living in a villa, and some couples are real and others are fake. I’m the host, so in the day I’ll catch up with what’s going on with…

REALITY TV: I am obsessed. I do partly blame Lorraine and Loose Women , because these reality people always end up on the show, so you have to watch them. I watch Love Island , The Real Housewives Of Cheshire … the list goes on. Would I be tempted to do one? Not in a million years! SURGERY: I’d change my nose. I’m obsessed with these tiny little button noses. The Kardashians have all got one – and they weren’t born with them. We all know a lot of them have had bits and pieces done and some I think look really, really well, actually. PALS HOLLY WILLOUGHBY AND PHILLIP SCHOFIELD: I adore Holly and Phil. I’ve been on one of their famous nights out drinking and I can give…

‘She’s in a good place and the kids are happy’ After enduring a series of public spats since their shock 2004 marriage split, Brian McFadden revealed in December that he was planning to spend Christmas with his ex-wife Kerry Katona and their two daughters, Molly, 16, and Lilly-Sue, 15. But chatting to Closer , the former Westlife star now says he has no interest in the mother of his children’s personal life. Last month, Kerry – who recently revealed she was nine years clean from drugs after a well-publicised battle – was photographed looking sensational in a bikini in Marbella, after losing half a stone in just six days at a holistic boot camp. But Brian, 38, insists his only concern is that Kerry, 37 – who he admitted to…

She was left heartbroken after a bitter divorce from her footballer husband, Jason Cundy, in 2012. But despite being single ever since, Lizzie Cundy has found love again with hunky language teacher, Yanis, 45, whom she met while filming new reality show, Our Shirley Valentine Summer. The ITV hit, which sees Lizzie incessantly flirting with Yanis, has been described as Love Island for the over-40s, as eight single female celebrities, including Lizzie, Aggie MacKenzie and Nancy Dell’Olio, jet off to the Greek island of Naxos, in search of romance. Excited Lizzie, 48, says, “I was attracted to Yanis straight away. He had beautiful eyes like a wild wolf and was just so gorgeous. He came to teach us Greek and, normally, my Greek isn’t bad, but I struggled to even…

HOT-PANT HELL Zara McDermott, 21 Unfortunately, the Love Island star fell short of impressing us in this palm-print combo. There’s no denying she’s got a great figure, but sometimes less is more. BOLD & BEAUTIFUL Heidi Klum, 45 The breezy trapeze dress is back in favour with the fashion lot, and this cobalt-blue number couldn’t look more striking on the model. Plus, it’s heatwave-friendly. We want in! ’90s NO-GO Kendall Jenner, 22 Despite being born in the ’90s, the supermodel’s Fresh Prince Of Bel Air -inspired mash-up is off the mark and unflattering. It’s proof that some things are best left in their decade. PRIM SPIN Rochelle Humes, 29 The Saturdays singer is a stylish and coordinated lady, and this romantic get-up is yet another win.

‘I want to be leaner & less athletic on my big day’ She is renowned for being an exercise fanatic and often displays her unbelievably ripped body on social media, but Chloe Madeley says she will be toning down her relentless gym routine for her wedding day next year. The fitness star says, “I have an idea of how I want my body shape to be on my wedding day, so I’ll change my diet and training over four or five months leading up to the big day. I want to be longer, leaner and less athletic.” The 31 year old says she will be sharing her journey with her 180,000 social media followers. “It will be really interesting to document it,” she says. “My followers will find it fascinating…

‘ WHY VITAMIN D IS A MUST FOR ALL AGES’ After a baby dies at six months due to a severe lack of the so-called ‘sunshine vitamin’, Dr C says we need greater awareness Shockingly, six-month-old Noah Thahane recently died from heart failure as a result of rickets. It’s a disease that was thought to have been eradicated decades ago, and his death is heartbreaking because it was entirely preventable. NEEDED IN PREGNANCY Some experts are now calling for all babies to be given vitamin D from birth, but that’s too late because women need good vitamin D levels while they are carrying a baby. A worrying 85 per cent of pregnant women aren’t aware they need it, and people with darker skin, like Noah’s mum Beverley, are more at…

Just a week after his split with Cheryl was confirmed, Liam Payne was snapped smiling in the direction of a tattooed beauty at a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in Lake Como, Italy. And eagle-eyed fans were quick to point out that the same woman was among a group of girls enjoying a night out at London’s Sexy Fish restaurant with the former One Direction star the following week. Now, Closer can exclusively reveal that the woman is talent agent Jess Moloney – who splits her time between LA and London. She’s friends with fashion insiders and celebrities, including “hot felon” Jeremy Meeks, and is happy to showcase her incredible body art on social media, like Liam. She’s also a dog lover and has a Scotch Boston Terrier.…

She’s put on a defiant front following the collapse of her marriage to cheating third husband Kieran Hayler, by jumping into a new romance with toyboy Kris Boyson and insisting she’s in a better place. But insiders say that behind closed doors, Jordan, 40 – real name Katie Price – is struggling to cope with her ex’s betrayals and is going to extreme lengths to ensure Kris, 29, doesn’t stray. And as a flurry of reports claimed last week that she was facing bankruptcy amid her third divorce battle and a series of legal cases, sources say she is clinging onto Kris in the hope of staging big-money publicity deals for the couple. A source reveals, “Katie’s still scarred by Kieran’s cheating and, despite her best attempts to hide her…

‘SHE’S BEEN TELLING EVERYONE THAT THIS IS THE BEST SHE’S EVER LOOKED’ Fans have been in awe of her body ever since she lost a stone and went from a size 12 to a 10 in just three months following the birth of her daughter Sunday in November, before dropping to a size 8 earlier this year. But it’s not just Ferne McCann’s body that has transformed. The 27-year-old star – who had a nose job in 2016 – was recently snapped with drastically larger lips, and pals say it’s all in a bid to please her new man. Earlier this month, Ferne – who has denied using fillers, putting her pout down to “excessive amounts of lip liner” – was spotted canoodling with a mystery man at a party.…

Torn from their families in the wild, dolphins go from swimming up to 100 miles a day to being kept in small tanks the size of a swimming pool so that tourists can pat them or watch them in shows. Wendy says, “In captivity, marine mammals are denied the ability to express many of their natural behaviours, such as vocalisations to speak to each other and natural feeding patterns such as hunting. “They may also become stressed, develop illnesses, or even start harming each other, which can be a sign of frustration. “Even swimming with dolphins in the wild can cause harm, with the constant disruption of the dolphins’ routines by boats and swimmers.”…

She’s known for her feisty personality and wild outbursts, but Charlotte Crosby sparked concern last week when she posted a video of herself crying after being accused of bullying by Love Island star Dr Alex George’s family – following her Tweets about his “vile pink face” and “wooden plank personality”. The former Geordie Shore star, 28, couldn’t contain her emotions as she posted the tearful video on Instagram in a bid to defend herself against trolls, telling them, “Everyone knows me and they know I’m not a bully.” HORRIBLE COMMENTS But insiders say Charlotte’s bizarre rant has sparked concern for her state of mind among her inner circle. A source reveals, “Charlotte was beside herself after the criticism from Dr Alex’s family, and was stunned by the backlash it caused…

Millions of us were glued to this year’s Love Island , watching the batch of singletons find love with each other over the course of eight sunny – and occasionally tearful – weeks. But with the show now over (sob), what’s next for the loved-up couples who’ve kept us on the edge of our seats with some roller-coaster romances? Last year saw finalists Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood and Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville’s partnerships all crumble within a year of the show’s final. Even winners Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay only lasted five months before going their separate ways. So while life inside the villa can prove testing at times, do the Love Islanders know what they’re really in for now they’re living on the outside? Closer speaks to…

Social media has become a crucial part of our world, but a recent survey suggests that around 24 per cent of people feel that technology has had a negative impact on their relationships. Kim Kardashian and husband Kanye West were reported to have clashed last week over her demands that he be more involved in her social media posts. Meanwhile, Made In Chelsea star Louise Thompson – known for her prolific Instagram uploads and pouty selfies – recently told Closer her obsession with making boyfriend Ryan Libbey take her photos had caused fiery arguments between them. So, is our desire to share our lives online and post the perfect Insta-snap damaging our real- life relationships? Closer investigates… Chloe: ‘I make my man take 50 snaps until he gets it right!’…

After announcing recently that she’d called off her three-month engagement to Andrew Brady, Caroline Flack appeared to confirm the romance was over for good when the Apprentice star was spotted moving his things out of her home – following a reported 20-minute blazing row. Earlier in the week, insiders claimed that Caroline – who expressed her heartache with a series of Instagram posts last week – had sparked concern among pals that she was set to take Andrew back when she was spotted wearing her engagement ring, although it had been moved to her right hand. Caroline, 38, called it quits with Andrew in July, amid reports she feared he was cheating on her, and was left hurt when she discovered he’d attended a meeting with Celebs Go Dating bosses…

Jennifer: ‘It’s all about interval training’ She’s set to turn 50 next year, but Jennifer Aniston showed she still has a body women half her age would kill for when she was pictured sunbathing in Italy last week. The Hollywood actress has spoken openly about her love of healthy eating and follows a low-carb and high-protein diet to stay trim. She revealed recently that she starts the day with avocado and eggs, followed by salad with protein for lunch and dinner, and apple slices dipped in almond butter for a snack. The former Friends star – who split from husband- of-two-years Justin Theroux in February this year – is known for her devotion to fitness, and revealed recently, “I still love yoga and cardio, but these days it’s been interval…

I read the other day that your chances of finding your true love on a night out are three in a million. It’s so hard to date nowadays because people always line up their next love interest online. With all the apps and social media, people are more fussy and relationships more disposable. Back in the day, if you met someone you liked on a night out, you’d chat to them, get to know them and pursue them. Now there’s less inclination to do that, because if you decide you like them, you can try to look them up on social media afterwards or find someone else online in an instant. The new show I’m presenting, True Love Or True Lies , is great because it brings it all back…

BOTOX: “I had it once. I got a little bit above my eyes, but my face wouldn’t move. The wrinkles had gone from my forehead, but I didn’t look great. I looked like some of these people in TOWIE and they kind of look like a melted candle. So no more Botox for me! I’m going to try to age gracefully now.” HEALTHY EATING: “Every time Boyzlife [his act with former Boyzone singer Keith Duffy] tour, we put on at least 1st each. All we do every night after the gig is drink red wine and vodka and eat. We buy two different size suits. We have one that lasts the first half of the tour, then we change to a size up. I love my food too much. The…

FIND CHEMISTRY It’s so important to have chemistry. It doesn’t matter what they look like, it won’t work if you don’t have that spark. SMILE The first thing they’ll notice is your smile, so get ready to flash those pearly whites! MAKE EYE CONTACT Don’t look around or be stuck on your phone, even if you’re a bit shy. Try to hold their gaze for a bit longer than usual. FLIRT Look at their mouth to make them wonder whether you want to kiss them. Play with your hair – it’s girly and flirty and there’s nothing wrong with that. DON’T TEXT BACK STRAIGHT AWAY Nobody likes an eager beaver. I don’t reply to some men until they beg me! But usually I leave it a couple of hours. Treat…

Get clever with make-up and, like J-Lo, you can plump your lips the natural way! First, use a fine lip pencil to trace along the edge of your mouth. Take your pencil from your cupid’s bow in a straight line to the outer corners, and “draw over” along the bottom slightly, going no further than a millimetre from the natural edge. Then fill in with a lipstick in a slightly lighter shade. Pat clear gloss on the centre of your pout, then blend a dab of cream highlighter just above your cupid’s bow. These products will help you get the look...…

HAVING CHILDREN: “I’m not broody at all. I am absolutely mad on my nieces and nephews but, if we had to make a decision right now, we would probably say ‘no’. We have big life plans and, weirdly, that isn’t one of them. We’re very lucky that we are both on the same page. But never say never. In a year’s time we could get baby fever and turn around and say, ‘We have to have a baby now!’ Who knows?” MY HONEYMOON: “We’re thinking the Caribbean. James travels the world playing rugby for England, so when it comes to holidays, he doesn’t usually want to fly long haul, so he’s never been to the Caribbean.” THE ROYAL WEDDING: “There was a big furore when I didn’t wear my jacket…

Soya products like vegan mince are packed with plant protein, and it’s great to see she chooses wholegrain carbs such as brown rice, which provides slow-release energy. Lucy might want to consider taking supplement vitamins B12 and D, and a form of omega-3 fats – these nutrients can all be low in vegan diets.” FRIDGE HEALTH RATING 8/10 CLOSER ONLINE GET RECIPES, DIET AND FITNESS ADVICE AT…

Tides and currents change daily, so swim between red and yellow flags. Even in shallow water, currents can drag you out. If that happens, don’t panic. Stop, float and attract attention, rather than trying to swim in and exhaust yourself. If you see someone in trouble, call the lifeguard rather than diving in to help. The wind can push inflatables deeper, so save them for pools. Ask the lifeguard about tide times to avoid getting stuck on rocks when the tide comes in, and never drink booze before swimming.…

You’ve never hosted a game show before? I never thought in a million years that I would do a game show. But if you want someone who’s going to have fun with the contestants, then I’m your man. This is a real change for you… I’m completely out of my comfort zone, but now I’m like, “Oh yeah, I want to do more!” There is nothing better than a family coming on and saying they’ve always wanted a holiday somewhere, or a new kitchen. If you can help to win it for them it’s like, “Oh yeah!” To make their wishes come true was magical. Were you nervous at all? Of course, completely. I was thinking, “Am I going to be able to do this?” Someone like me, I can…

LEO 23 JUL-22 AUG There could be dramas at work this week. If that’s the case, here’s is my advice; don’t try to control anyone or anything except yourself. Breathe through it and don’t bet everything you have on one idea. Leave your options open. For your spoken forecast about your current astro-cycle, call 0906 7511 677* VIRGO 23 AUG-22 SEP Take as much time out as you need or want this week. The skies are dramatic – and not necessarily in a good way. So if life will allow you to do it, take some time off. Tell people you are just not available as you’re taking a “mental health hour/day/week”. For your spoken forecast about your current astrocycle, call 0906 7511 677* LIBRA 22 SEP-22 OCT Intimacy and/or…
