When Jordan met Peter in the jungle in 2004, it was the start of a roller-coaster chapter that will seemingly never end – for her at least. As recently as last year she admitted he was “the love of my life” and, now at rock bottom, she’s apparently turning to Pete for help. As the adoring father of their children – Princess and Junior – it’s clear he’d want to make sure she stays as well and stable as possible. But while Jordan sadly lurches from one drama to another, Pete has moved on and found real happiness with wife Emily. This week, we asked him to tell us what life has taught him. His answers on page 12 are VERY revealing. Meanwhile, this week we’ve got a fantastic treat…

Since his split from Cheryl in July, Liam has wasted no time in fully embracing the bachelor lifestyle, regularly hanging out with models and millionaires. But there are three women in particular who he appears to have grown close to this summer. One of them is British talent agent Jess Moloney – who he partied with in Italy at a Dolce & Gabanna event in July, and was pictured with at London restaurant Sexy Fish the following week. He’s also formed a firm friendship with American model Cairo Dwek, 20, after reportedly meeting in Cannes. She was later spotted dancing in one of Liam’s Snapchat videos and Liam has also “liked” a number of her glamorous pictures. Texan model and heiress Maya Henry completes the trio. She first met Liam…

Former model and kiss-and-tell girl Alicia Douvall – who’s been linked to sports stars in the past – has previously divulged details of footballers’ womanising ways. Alicia, 38, said, “Footballers have mostly come from humble upbringings and are now earning these astronomical wages. So they think they’re unstoppable. Sleeping with a footballer is not like having sex with a normal boyfriend, they’ll ask you to do things you wouldn’t dream of. It might be a threesome, or it might be something really kinky.” And she understands why women throw themselves at them, adding, “If you say no, they’ll find a girl who’ll say yes. You have to keep them interested for as long as possible and that means doing whatever they want. You know you’re just there to be their…

ANDREA: ‘I FELT THAT MY FAMILY WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT ME’ She suffered from crippling postnatal depression following the birth of her daughter Amy, now 11, and Loose Women star Andrea McLean, 48, says that the support of her partner Nick Feeney has proved invaluable. She said, “I felt that my family and daughter would be better off without me. I still have dark moments, but I’m really lucky that I have a partner who is 100 per cent behind me and he notices when I’m starting to dip a wee bit.” MELINDA: ‘I WAS CONVINCED MY HUSBAND WAS THE PROBLEM’ Mum-of-three Melinda Messenger’s postnatal depression caused major tension during her marriage to Wayne Roberts, from whom she split in 2012 after 14 years. The TV star and former…

Relationship expert and clinical psychologist, Dr Abigail San, says, “Lies and deceit certainly erode a marriage very quickly, so I would always advise against that. But humans are hardwired to have one primary partner and by adding people into a relationship, you are going against your need for an attachment bond. While these sorts of ‘arrangements’ might seem to be the answer, I would advise caution as you might be in a state of denial and convincing yourself you are comfortable with the situation when it could create feelings of rejection and insecurity.”…

After reportedly splitting up last month, Gemma Collins and her on/off boyfriend James “Arg” Argent were spotted kissing in Marbella last week, with Arg even dubbing his TOWIE co-star “my girl” on Instagram. Closer recently reported how pals suspected Gemma, 37, had reconciled with Arg, 30 – as well as her two exes, ex-con Stephen Mortimer and Laurence Hearn, whom she met on Celebs Go Dating – to create a dramatic love triangle storyline for her new reality show. But insiders say there are fears that Gemma is playing with fire with Arg – and that he could be the one who ends up using her. A source says, “Gemma puts on a good front. She’s been loving making out to pals that she’s got all these offers from different…

‘WAYNE’S ASKED HER TO GIVE IT HER BEST SHOT AND SEE IT AS AN EXCITING NEW CHALLENGE’ She was pictured enjoying a sightseeing tour of Washington D.C. with husband Wayne and their eldest son Kai, eight, last week – after the footballer signed to the US team in June. But insiders say Coleen Rooney – who is also mum to Klay, four, Kit, two, and four-month-old baby Cass Mac – has admitted to pals that she’s still nervous about making the move, which is said to be a trial run until they get settled. FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN A source reveals, “On a recent night out in London with her girlfriends, Coleen admitted to being apprehensive about relocating soon. It’s still only temporary to see how she and the boys…

Claire Taylor, 52, lives in Hertford with her two children, and has been compulsive buying for over 30 years. She says, “From the moment I started getting pocket money at the age of ten, I would spend it all on sweets and make-up. “As I got older, my spending increased. In my 20s, after I got married, it spiralled out of control. It was easy to kid myself that I didn’t have a problem as my husband, who was an entrepreneur, was wealthy, so the usual risks of debt weren’t there, but my spending was an issue. I’d buy the same top in different colours, designer shoes, several bottles of perfume or 20 lipsticks at a time. I didn’t even wear or use them, and I certainly didn’t need them,…

PLASTIC SURGERY PRESSURES… “There have been comments on social media about my nose. It has a bit of a bend in it and there were people saying, ‘She needs to get her nose fixed’. But, ultimately, I was never going to do anything because this is who I am.” FEELING HOMESICK… “I love the LA lifestyle but I’m happy to come back, too. The UK will always be my home.” MOTHERHOOD IN MY FORTIES…“When you go for your check-ups, they call you a ‘geriatric mum’. That is the terminology they use, I swear.”…

I was gutted to hear Barry Chuckle, 73, had died earlier this month, after battling a long-term secret illness. I can’t imagine how his brother Paul must be feeling. It’s heartbreaking to think he’s lost his best friend and partner in crime. But we must be grateful for the humour Barry brought us, so thanks for the laughs! My older brother Stuart and I were obsessed with their TV show ChuckleVision when we were younger. And while I didn’t meet Barry as an adult, I did get to meet him as a child. We went on a family holiday to Butlins back in the day and had the chance to get a photo with our heroes [pictured]. I can’t remember it, but my mum said I was ecstatic, despite the…

Vanessa Hudgens, 29 Ticking off the hottest colour for A/W18, Vanessa looks gorgeous in this frock. Teamed with simple black kitten heels and a logo-stamped bag, the actress is every inch the fashionista. Paris Hilton, 37 She’s renowned for having the occasional fashion faux-pas, and this shocker is no exception. The joggers, crop top, cap and sunnies had us cringing as Paris brought Barbie’s pink outfit to life. Kristen Bell, 38 Kristen looks absolutely stunning in this slinky slip dress, teaming it with a glamorous red lip and slicked -back pony. She’s a fab example of how less can be more – and we love it! Rita Ora , 27 It seems World Cup fever is still raging on after Rita was spotted donning this outfit collaged from football kits.…

SPORTS STARS The right kit is a must. Luckily, loading up on PE essentials won’t break the bank, as under-a-tenner pieces and multipacks will send them on their way to medals. STEPPING UP You don’t have to spend a fortune to keep their shoes puddle-proof until next summer. Look for real leather designs for extra mileage, and always get their feet properly measured to ensure they’re comfy over the coming months. LABELS TO LOVE Ensure your little ones come home wearing the same clothes they left in with simple name tags – some quick monogramming can save a lot of hassle! FOR THE BOYS... Whether he needs stain-proof fabrics or extra long trousers for fast-growing legs, look for clever design details that will make sure your little man looks smart.…

‘My husband and I still find each other very attractive’ She rose to fame in the ’70s as a glamour model and became one of the most popular Page 3 girls of all time. Fast-forward 40 years from her first topless shoot, and Linda Lusardi still oozes confidence. In fact, as she shows off her impressive figure in a high-cut swimsuit just weeks before her 60th birthday, the actress says she’s never felt so good. Linda says, “I may be nearly 60, but I feel more confident than ever. When I hit 50, I was more body-conscious, but one of the luxuries of age is that you don’t care what people think. I don’t give a damn, and it’s so liberating!” Her happiness marks something of a turning point after…

There are certain things we all find difficult to discuss with our parents, from our finances to fertility issues, but the toughest of all is death. It has always been the “elephant in the room”, but it’s as natural as being born. Often, it’s simply a reluctance to acknowledge the inevitable, yet it is vitally important not to leave it until your parents are very ill or, even worse, to miss the opportunity altogether. SUPPORT EACH OTHER Once certain formalities have been established, you can put them aside and enjoy life. First, ensure basic paperwork like wills are in order. It may be the last thing you or your parents want to discuss, but many families have been torn apart by surviving relatives fighting over what should happen when they…

Her life has lurched from one drama to another, and last week Jordan narrowly avoided bankruptcy, after being given just 12 weeks to come up with a plan to pay off mounting debts. Reports claimed she owes more than £250,000, including £20,000 of unpaid tax and an extra £100,000 after defaulting on her mortgage. The news follows confirmation from Sussex Police that troubled Jordan – real name Katie Price – will have to attend a police station for interview after apparently driving while disqualified. There have also been reports that her £2m Sussex mansion is in a shocking state of disrepair, with photos emerging of her abandoned swimming pool, overgrown tennis court and neglected house. In 2016, Jordan said, “Some people are very careful and they plan for the future…

Footballers have regularly made headlines for all the wrong reasons over the years but, last week, former premiership footballer Jermaine Pennant revealed even more salacious details about what they get up to off the pitch. In his new autobiography Mental: Bad Behaviour, Ugly Truths And The Beautiful Game, Jermaine detailed a game he and his fellow footballers used to play, which involved rating girls as “properties”, like in the game Monopoly, and paying each other “rent” if they slept with one of them. He said, “We used to call it Monopoly. You have your properties, all different standards. You’ve got Mayfair and Old Kent Road (the lower standard – no one wants to be there). Most of the lads were involved. If I slept with any girl and then any…

After she was pictured holding hands with aspiring actor Brian Hickerson last week, Hayden Panettiere’s mother confirmed that the actress had parted from her long-term fiancé Wladimir Klitschko, father of her three-year-old daughter, Kaya. Speaking about her daughter, 28, who is reported to have been dating Brian, also 28, for a month, Lesley Vogel said, “There are a lot of changes going on in her life. But I think they’re positive changes. And I think that she’s taking some time. She needs to take a little bit of a break and make some decisions on her own of what she wants to do. So I think she is in a very good place.” Insiders also told E! News that Hayden and her former fiancé are “on good terms” and that…

‘There were times when I had low points & got depressed’ ‘DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES – MAKE NEW ONES’ I made some real mistakes when I was younger. If I could go back in time and talk to my younger self, I’d tell myself to listen, stop and think before rushing into decisions – I’d slap myself for some of the bad choices I made! But that’s life and you learn from your mistakes. My dad always told me, “Don’t make the same mistakes – make new ones.” He’s right, you’re always going to make mistakes, but learn from them and do something different next time. ‘HAVE THE COURAGE TO FACE YOUR DEEPEST FEARS’ Throughout life, it’s best to tackle any anxieties, depression or fears you have. Have courage…

Richard, 48, an IT salesman, lives in Aberdeen with his wife of 20 years and their two children. He says, “Three months ago, my wife confronted me and told me she suspected I was having an affair. She knew from my expression that I had been cheating, but was extremely calm and said she didn’t want to hear any details and also didn’t want our marriage to end. We had a very blunt discussion, where she admitted that she no longer had any interest in sex, which I already knew as our sex life had dwindled to practically nothing. I told her I still had a very high sex drive and we agreed on a compromise: that I would tell her I was going out with the boys and she’d…

Gemma Warren met her boyfriend James North on Naked Attraction last year – and the loved-up pair are already talking about tying the knot. Gemma, 25, a beauty therapist who lives in Littlehampton with her twin daughters, Isabelle and Imogen, five, says, “I’d seen the show before and was talking about it with friends. We decided it sounded fun, so I applied. I knew I’d have to get naked, but my family and friends were supportive. “When I found out I’d been chosen, I was more excited than nervous. My previous experiences with men had been horrendous. I’d dated a guy who turned out to be gay, been cheated on and my last boyfriend moved to Australia. I was fed up with dating apps and felt I deserved some luck!”…

She’s been romantically linked to a number of A-listers, but Ellie Goulding is now officially off the market after announcing her engagement to art dealer Caspar Jopling last week. The pair first sparked dating rumours when they were seen getting cosy on a karaoke night in London in April last year – although Ellie, 31, and Caspar, 26, have reportedly been together for 18 months. The Love Me Like You Do singer’s love life has made headlines over the years. She dated McFly’s Dougie Poynter, 30, for two years and has been linked to Prince Harry, 1D’s Niall Horan and singer Ed Sheeran. When asked about marriage in the past, Ellie confessed that she’s “annoyingly traditional”, and wants a “white dress, a church and a hen do in Ibiza.”…

‘People take pictures of me eating’ She had the perfect springboard for success: classic Hollywood looks, acting talent and strong ambition, but after making a name for herself with a lead role in American Pie in the late ’90s, things didn’t go to plan for Tara Reid. The now 42-year-old actress suffered a spectacular fall from grace – and admits to Closer she would have made different choices if she had her time again. Texas-born Tara says, “I would do a lot of stuff differently. I wouldn’t have gone out as much and been so crazy. When I started out, I wasn’t aware I would lose all my privacy, so I was doing everything that your average 21 year old does, but it was there for everyone to see. PLASTIC…

He’s enjoyed a hugely successful career in the spotlight since finding fame in the 1995 movie Clueless – going on to star in Knocked Up, Anchorman and This Is 40. But actor Paul Rudd – who also won a legion of fans as Phoebe’s eventual husband Mike Hannigan in Friends – insists that despite his A-list credentials, he’s not interested in the Hollywood scene and prefers a quiet life with his wife Julie and their two children, Jack, 12, and Darby, eight, in New York. The 49 year old explains, “My day-to-day life isn’t very different from what it was before. I lead a very ordinary lifestyle. I don’t live in Hollywood, I enjoy my family life with my wife and our children, and my routine involves taking the kids…

Addiction specialist Chris Hill says, “Compulsive spending is just as much an addiction as drugs or alcohol. In some people, shopping triggers the brain to release dopamine, a substance that creates pleasure. They then crave that feeling and want to continue shopping, whether they can afford it or not. I’ve seen the number of cases double in the past year. That is in part fuelled by social media – people see posts of others with the latest designer outfit and think if they had that, their life would be ‘perfect.’ It should be taken seriously as a mental health problem, especially as it can lead to severe anxiety, relationship breakdowns and bankruptcy.”…

‘I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THE REVERSAL WAS A MISTAKE, BUT I FELT TRAPPED’ After years of confusion, Samantha Kane is finally happy to be a woman. But it’s not been an easy journey for the 58-year-old lawyer and author. Samantha was born a man and has changed sex an astonishing three times – from man to woman, woman to man and back to a woman again. And now, after spending over £150,000 on sex changes over two decades, Samantha insists there’ll be no more surgery. She explains, “When I first transitioned, back in the ’90s, I lost my friends, my family and my children disowned me. There was no such thing as LGBT rights and I felt I had no choice but to return to being a man. “However, nine years…

STAYING FOCUSED “I always have ‘Focus on the moment’ written at the top of my to-do list. But what I love to do is sit down somewhere quiet and close my eyes and focus on what I can hear. It stops my mind from racing.” WEIGHT LOSS “I looked at my wedding photos and I decided I wanted to get back to that weight. When I got married, I was about 12st 10lbs, and then over the last couple of years, I went up to over 14st. I thought, ‘I don’t want to be that weight.’ I lost 3st about six or seven years ago and now I have lost another stone, which I am really happy about it. I’m just under 13st now.” COOKING AT HOME “When I’m home,…

There’s SPF20 in your foundation, 15 in your primer and you’re pretty sure there’s sunscreen in your lipstick, too. Putting on your make-up can feel like a maths lesson, but is the built-in sun protection in your everyday essentials enough to safeguard you from the sun? The answer according to skincare expert Charlotte Connoley is no. She says, “It’s a tick in the box to say that make-up contains SPF as this is what most consumers want when choosing a coverage – but it’s not enough. When SPF is applied through a foundation, it’s spread very thinly over your face, because we apply make-up differently to sunscreen.” DON’T SCRIMP ON PROTECTION Also bear in mind that when we apply foundation, we vary the distribution, concentrating on problem areas and applying…

I ALWAYS WASH OFF MY MAKE-UP at night and apply moisturiser, no matter how tired I am. I TRIED BOTOX four years ago, but ended up with eyebrows halfway up my forehead. On acting jobs, people would tell me to look upset, but I couldn’t! I wouldn’t do it again. PICK A GOOD SKINCARE RANGE. You don’t have to pay hundreds of pounds, but look for products containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, almond oil, vitamin E, vitamin A and sun screen. I’VE HAD A TREATMENT CALLED ULTHERAPY, to stop me getting “turkey neck”. An ultrasound was passed over my throat, to warm the tissue and boost the body’s natural production of collagen. It was painful, but it tightened everything up!…

NUTRITIONIST JULIETTE KELLOW SAYS, “With IBS, it’s a case of working out those foods that trigger symptoms. There are a lot of high-salt foods in Megan’s diet, which could increase her risk of high blood pressure. She’s also consuming quite a bit of sugar, particularly from drinks. Megan should limit fruit juice to one small glass a day and avoid all drinks with added sugar.” FRIDGE HEALTH RATING 4/10 CLOSER ONLINE GET RECIPES, DIET AND FITNESS ADVICE AT CLOSERONLINE.CO.UK/DIET-BODY…

These days, we want everything to be instant, from messaging to online shopping, and when things don’t run smoothly, we don’t react well. Technology was, ironically, supposed to give us more leisure time but, in reality, it’s provided us with even more ways to cram extra into our hectic schedules. Research has shown that it takes just seven minutes for us to blow a fuse when we lose phone signal, and eight minutes without Wi-Fi to see red. The fear of missing out is palpable, if irrational. We need to step back and gain perspective. Not so long ago, we thought nothing of writing a letter abroad and waiting weeks for a response. When you feel yourself starting to lose your composure, pause and reflect. First, notice where you feel…

I’M MOST PROUD OF... Being mum to my seven-year-old son, Junior. No one tells you how hard motherhood is, and I’ve just about survived the last seven years, so I’m proud of myself and him, too. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS... All the terrifying illnesses life can throw at you. I lost a friend two years ago to a stroke, which resulted in heart failure. One minute he was full of life, and the next, he was gone. Having your health taken away from you so quickly and unexpectedly scares me. I REGRET... Not going to drama school. I wanted so desperately to be in that environment and train as an actor, but I didn’t believe I could, so I just missed out on the chance. I WISH... I was less…

1 CELEBRITY MASTERCHEF IF YOU CAN’T STAND THE HEAT… THU+FRI 23+24 AUG, 8/8.30PM, BBC1 NEW SERIES The first five celebs to face the heat of the MasterChef kitchen (and the acid tongues of John and Gregg) this year are actor Keith Allen, TV presenter Michelle Ackerley, T’Pau’s Carol Decker, rugby player Martin Bayfield and singer/model Josh Cuthbert.

Tell us about the show… We were in a car travelling through south-east Asia, doing a classic car rally that happens every year – in different places all around the world. This one went through Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia; three countries I’ve never been to before. You’re basically in a car with your wife [Wham! singer Shirlie]. Did that go well? I was kind of worried about doing a TV show with Shirlie. I’ve never done it before, and the only time we ever argue is when we’re in the car! So it was a challenge and a test, to be honest. But it was a lot of fun. This wasn’t a holiday, it was an adventure – and an amazing one. Did you take anything special with you from…

‘SHE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISN’T MORE SUPPORT FOR HER’ Rapper Snoop Dogg offers to set up Cheryl’s ex, Liam Payne, with a string of ‘hot women’ Liam parties with models as she stays home with Bear Footballer Jermaine Pennant shockingly claims Cheryl’s x Ashley Cole had a girlfriend when they started dating She’s appeared determined to move on following the collapse of her elationship with Liam Payne uly – stepping back into the spotlight and reportedly leaning on close friends, including Simon Cowell, to help her find a new man. But Cheryl, 35, couldn’t escape her past last week when footballer Jermaine ennant made shock new claims about her relationship with first husband Ashley ole – from whom she split in 2010, amid numerous cheating allegations. Jermaine claimed former…

Former WAG Lizzie Cundy, 50 – who was married to ex Chelsea star Jason – says, “We all see the glitz of the footballing world but, in reality, it’s murky. Jermaine’s book is shocking, but hats off to him for telling it how it really it is. Some footballers seem to think it’s OK to have different morals to everyone else and I’m glad Jason never behaved like that. They have a “lads’ club” culture, where they do what they want and their treatment of women is awful. They think rating women is funny, but they don’t realise they are real people. Footballers do it because they can get away with it and they can afford payouts to stop people talking. The temptation is there – so many girls want…

RELATIONSHIP EXPERT LUCY BERESFORD SAYS, “Postnatal depression can make a mother emotionally unsettled and feel an overwhelming sense of anger, guilt and fear. This is undoubtedly going to impact a relationship. Mums can become overly protective of their babies or under-protective, as well as smothering their partners, becoming distant, or losing interest in self-care, all of which can create problems in the parental relationship. “The changes to the mother’s personality can be traumatising for a partner, too, who can end up confused, frustrated and isolated. They are seeing the mother of their child in distress, but they can’t understand why or how to help. They may often be the focus of the mother’s anger and, in turn, it’s easy for both parties to close off from each other. While PND…

Ally Bury adores her boyfriend of three years, Pierre, and the couple are planning a happy future together. However, those future plans include Ally being able to sleep with other men, as the management consultant has decided monogamy is not for her – and she’s happy for Pierre, 40, to sleep with other women, too. Ally, 41, who lives in southwest London, explains, “I was previously married for ten years and, while I remained faithful throughout, I didn’t find it easy. I have a high sex drive and I love the excitement of a new partner. When I split from my ex, I didn’t see why I should miss out on the excitement of meeting other men, even when I met Pierre. I think as long as both partners know,…

Adjusting to single life in the wake of her split from convict Joey Morrison, insiders reveal Lauren Goodger – who told Closer in April that she’d “love to get pregnant” – has said she doesn’t care whether she’s with a man or not when she has a baby. A source says, “Lauren’s spoken openly about how broody she is and she’d love to have a baby right now. But she doesn’t want to feel that pressure of needing a man to start a family – she believes you can be a great mum with or without a man by your side. She says she’d be happy to be pregnant and alone, because she can’t wait to have a baby. She’d love to be pregnant this time next year and is…

She raised eyebrows when she was pictured cosying up to former fiancé Andrew Brady in Ibiza last week – just one month after she broke off their engagement amid cheating claims. And insiders say Caroline Flack’s indecision over Andrew, 27, could put strain on the 38-year-old Love Island host’s close friendships. A source says, “Caroline has been on an emotional roller coaster throughout their relationship. One minute, she’s on cloud nine; the next, she’s in tears. Andrew knows the right things to say to get back into her good books and Caroline seems to go along with it every time. Her pals can’t bear to see her upset any more – it seems like everyone’s losing a bit of patience over it. There’s only so much support friends can show…

Their messy divorce took another blow last week, after Angelina Jolie complained that Brad Pitt hasn’t paid child support since the couple’s separation two years ago – despite his claims that he has paid her millions. The former couple – who are parents to Maddox, 17, Pax, 14, Zahara, 13, Shiloh, 12, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 10 – have been embroiled in a bitter custody battle since their split in September 2016, with accusations at the time that a heated argument between Brad and Maddox had prompted Angelina, 43, to end their marriage. And last week, Angelina’s lawyer claimed that Brad, 54, has “paid no meaningful child support since separation”. Proving that relations have really soured between the A-list pair – who in January last year had agreed to…

‘Sometimes I get it wrong... but you do your best’ She’s carved out a successful career Stateside since moving to LA in 2006, and found her fairy-tale ending when a long-term friendship with Irish comedian Patrick Kielty transformed into love and marriage. Now Cat Deeley, 41 – who gave birth to the couple’s first child, Milo, in 2016 and welcomed a second, James, in June – reveals balancing a busy work schedule with two young sons can prove tricky, and insists she has no plans for baby number three. FINDING LOVE The presenter of dance reality show So You Think You Can Dance says, “Being a working mum of two is kind of like a massive juggle, where you throw all the balls up in the air and you try…

“I WAKE UP EVERY DAY AT 5.30AM. That’s just the way my body clock is set. Sometimes I get anxious in the morning, so I’ll lie in bed and work through my thoughts or take my Toy Poodle, Snoop, out for a walk. I HAVE A HIDEOUS GREEN JUICE IN THE MORNING. It doesn’t taste that great, but I feel good when I have it. It’s from WelleCo, model Elle Macpherson’s nutrition company. I LOVE BOXING, SO I’LL GET MY GYM KIT ON AND GO TO KOBOX, a boxing fitness class in Chelsea. I find exercise really helps with my anxiety, so I go almost every day. It makes you feel fab afterwards. MY DAYS ARE SPENT WRITING, PLANNING AND DOING ADMIN. I might have meetings, interviews or just days…

Closer’s therapist, Emma Kenny, says, “I’d agree that perhaps Samantha transitioned too soon. Usually, those who wish to transition are asked to live as their new gender for at least two years before considering surgery. Counselling is also offered to allow patients to understand the psychological impact. Samantha wasn’t fully prepared. She valued what she’d lost – her children – as more important than her happiness and made the decision to transition back to male.”…

VERDICT We love that the stars have styled their outfits so differently. They both look…

• You need to use SPF in areas you might not be applying your make-up – think right into your hairline, down your neck and across your chest. This is another reason you should not rely solely on the SPF in your make-up. • Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can add up SPF numbers. If you use two products both with an SPF 15 this won’t double your protection. • SPF make-up is still better than no protection, but it’s not enough for really sunny days or deliberate UV exposure. • Keep your make-up away from heat as it can damage the SPF chemicals.…

You could easily think this new stat on breast cancer is yet more celebrity health nonsense, but Angelina’s surgeon, Kristi Funk, is right. Unfortunately, you can’t influence all the breast cancer risk factors, like the age you started your period, but there are some things you can control, such as weight, smoking and booze consumption. WATCH YOUR DIET Genetics play a part, but as Kristi says, “Every day the choices we make bring us closer to cancer or move us further away”. One important example is menopause; if you go into your menopause at a healthy weight, as healthy as you can be, you’re far more likely to reach a ripe old age. KNOW YOUR HISTORY Kristi has talked about the influence of genes, too, saying that genetic mutations, like…

Facebook has a successful track record of connecting us with people we never speak to, letting us store our pictures and, oh, they’ve been accused of selling our personal data. What I didn’t know they had a talent for was forging romances, or at least thinking they do. As I type, the world’s largest social network is testing a new app, Facebook Dating. Mark Zuckerberg – the company’s CEO – claims it’s “for building real long-term relationships – not just for hookups.” He believes it can help you find true love by matching you with people you’re not already friends with. There’s a reason I’m not friends with certain people on that site, and I’m already praying my exes don’t pop up as potential matches. The people behind Facebook think…

I WORKED ON THE TILLS IN A GARDEN CENTRE It was my first job and I’d get paid around £30 for the whole day. Then I worked at Tesco on the customer service help desk and earned the minimum wage [around £3.60 per hour]. I’M A MAJOR SNOB ABOUT CERTAIN FOOD! Generally, I like to mix it up when I go food shopping, I get some branded stuff and some of the supermarket own range, but the one thing that has to be branded is my Sun-Pat crunchy peanut butter. It must be crunchy – supermarket own brands just don’t taste the same! LUXURY HOLIDAYS ARE THE WAY TO GO I’d definitely rather save up and have a blow-the-budget holiday than a bargain break. If you’re going away and you…

Why did you want to do Celebs On The Farm ? I had a bit of an experience of farm life in Nashville [where Essex-born Megan filmed her ITVBe reality show, There’s Something About Megan]. However, I learned that British farms are a little bit different – and more like my worst nightmare… I’m terrified of chickens and they were everywhere! You’re tending to the every need of the farm animals on this show – do they behave well? I’m absolutely terrified of alpacas (close relations to the llama) because they kick and spit, but as I got through the trial with everyone else I actually started to warm to them. I’m actually a massive animal lover, so this was another reason why I wanted to do…
