Peer pressure has always been hard to deal with, but in the digital age it can be deadly. Social media images of celebs with tiny waists and huge bottoms have driven a huge surge in demand for the Brazilian bum lift. In the last five years, the number of women flocking to have fat sucked from their stomachs and injected into their rears has risen 50 per cent. But it’s taken the tragic death of mum-of-three Leah Cambridge to highlight that this is the riskiest of all aesthetic procedures and can be lethal. Meanwhile, on p18 we look at the rise in the suicide rate among young women and, once again, social media plays a terrifying role, as experts reveal people compare their lives to their friends’ carefully edited posts…

❛SHE FEELS LIKE ALL EYES ARE ON THEM & THAT ANYTHING THEY DO IS PULLED APART❜ Her 19-year marriage to David Beckham has faced constant rumours of strain. And last week, Posh faced fresh humiliation when fans accused David of appearing to snub her while holidaying in France with their good friends, Elton John and David Furnish. In a video, which emerged online, the couple can be seen leaving a restaurant, but as Posh, 44, attempts to talk to David, it seems as though he ignores her and walks ahead. One fan wrote, “The way David completely disregarded Victoria trying to speak to him speaks volumes itself.”Another said, “Look at how David completely disregarded her and blanked her. That’s actually very sad. He just ignored her.” Posh also posted a…

JEMMA LUCY: ‘Nothing will put me off having more surgery’ Reality TV star Jemma Lucy, 30, has had three Brazilian butt lifts in the past 18 months, as part of her quest for perfection. And although she says Leah’s tragic death has made her think twice about having another operation so soon, it hasn’t put her off having surgery for good. Jemma says, “It’s so tragic what happened to Leah. When you have these operations, you get told about all the possible risks, but you don’t believe anything can go wrong because it rarely does. Although this news has scared me a bit and made me think twice about having another op so soon, nothing will put me off having more surgery. People need to do plenty of research before…

Dan’s entrance into the house alongside Gabby raised eyebrows as they’d been accused of sleeping together by her ex Marcel Somerville just a month before. They both denied the allegations, but Gabby admitted Dan’s wife, Jacqueline, had contacted her to get the truth. Viewers accused them of flirting, with one fan Tweeting, “Dan and Gabby obviously fancy each other.” Last week, Dan raised eyebrows when he insisted Gabby was the “hottest housemate” during a task. But Nicola insists, “I don’t think Dan crossed any line with Gabby. They didn’t deny knowing each other beforehand, so it’s only natural they’ll have a friendship in the house. Dan spoke about his wife and his kids and made his situation clear. “And I feel he’s been caring towards Gabby when she’s been upset.…

PEREZ HILTON (2015) The blogger fell out with most of his housemates and tried to quit the show four times – insisting he had to take sleeping pills to cope. GAIL PORTER (2015) The presenter – who’s suffered with bi-polar and was once sectioned – famously broke down when she was unable to wash the dishes. VANESSA FELTZ (2001) The radio presenter appeared pushed to the limit when she started writing obscenities on the kitchen table in chalk when she was put up for nomination.…

‘ SHE FEELS WORRIED ABOUT HER SONS SETTLING INTO A NEW LIFE’ She stayed less than a month in Washington before jetting back to her native Liverpool last week. And pals say settling in America has been a challenge for Coleen Rooney, adding that she can’t help but wonder whether uprooting her four young sons to the US for husband Wayne’s football career at DC United is going to prove more difficult than she’d thought. HOMESICK A source says, “There have been times when Coleen’s already felt homesick. She’s spent the past two weeks getting their new house organised and trying to get the boys settled in, which has been hard as she feels worried about them settling into a new life when they were so happy back in Liverpool…

‘He compliments me all the time’ It was only a year ago that she confided to Closer about her struggles in the dating world, revealing that her attempts at finding love had left her lacking confidence and feeling lonely. But after revealing she was in a relationship on social media last week, Kellie Maloney now exclusively opens up to Closer about finding her Prince Charming in boyfriend Jason Shaw, 39. Kellie, 64, says, “I met Jason about a year ago, while he was working in security at a function. We got on so well and stayed in touch over the next few months. Then, earlier this summer, I busted my ankle, so needed someone to come and help look after my dogs in Portugal (Kellie splits her time between the…

‘ Having a tough guy image includes respecting women’ Like everyone else who saw the recent CCTV footage of Liam Gallagher appearing to grab his long-term girlfriend and PA, Debbie Gwyther, by the throat at London’s Chiltern Firehouse restaurant, I was shocked. They’ve both vehemently denied anything untoward went on, with Debbie insisting they were just “messing around”, but it doesn’t look good, does it? Research suggests that these types of situations can only get worse, and I worry their relationship could escalate into something nasty – especially if Liam has anger issues that need addressing. The Gallagher brothers made their name off the back of their Mancunian swagger, but part of having a “tough guy” image includes respecting women and having healthy, loving relationships. I’m glad his brother Noel…

Introducing the singletons hoping to find romance in the new series of The Undateables... CHARLOTTE, 22 Charlotte has Asperger’s syndrome. She says, “I want to be loved and maybe learn how to love in return. I’m after someone big with thick skin. Maybe I should date a rhino!” JAMES, 27 James has Down’s Syndrome. He says, “I’ve always wanted to find a girl like my brother [Joe] . Seeing Joe get married makes me determined to find my special girl and get married, too.” MITCH, 24 Mitch was born deaf and relies on lip-reading. He’s now on the hunt for Mr Right. He says, “I’m worried about not being able to understand people, and that’s what holds me back.”…

ADELE “I love Adele. She’s the only person since Amy Winehouse who I’ve wanted to duet with. Bruno Mars is great, too, and I fell in love with Coldplay after seeing them perform live.” CELEB PALS “My last party invite was from Ronnie Wood. He’s full of humility – I love that man. I love Elton [John] and George [Michael], God rest his soul. And I wrote a song with Sharon Stone – she’s a great songwriter!” GANGSTER REGGIE KRAY “I used to speak to Reggie [who died in 2000] every other day – he’d call and read me his poetry. I’d go to see him in prison, too. He’d got hold of my number because he felt an affinity to me as a twin.”…

BEING EASIER ON YOURSELF... “You have to learn to forgive yourself; to say, ‘I’m working. I’m a dedicated mother. I’m a good friend. I’m a great wife.’ Try not to beat yourself up about it.” STAYING POSITIVE… “Obviously there are days when you don’t feel happy and you aren’t going to look on the bright side, but I generally try to avoid dwelling on things I can’t change.” PARENTHOOD… “I feel like grandparents really know how to be parents. But parents, you just figure it out as you go.”…

‘DON’T BE AFRAID TO PUT YOURSELF FIRST’ I’ve spent years in and out of relationships [Lauren dated Mark Wright on/off for ten years until 2011, then Jake McLean – later branding both relationships “toxic” – and, more recently, Joey Morrison, from whom she split in July] and I wish I’d given myself more time to breathe, I feel like I’ve missed out on loads. I’ve always prioritised boyfriends before my own life, but now I’m putting myself first. ‘STOP WORRYING ABOUT MR RIGHT – THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE’ I wish I’d spent less time worrying whether I was in the right relationship. It’s hard, but I think you just have to throw yourself into something and see what happens without feeling anxious. I do feel things are meant to…

BASE DROP Water-based foundations feel really lightweight compared to oil-based ones, giving your skin a naturally enhanced look with minimal effort. This nourishing formula uses 20 per cent water, giving a radiant finish that’s kind to skin. It also helps to keep it light and flattering, because it won’t sink into wrinkles, while adding a healthy glow. TARTE RAINFOREST OF THE SEA WATER FOUNDATION £33 AT QVC COLOUR POP Not just for skincare, beauty waters can also provide vibrant colour. Most lip stains we’ve tried can really dry out lips – and what you gain in staying power, you often lose in comfort. But these are different – they use soothing aloe vera and raspberry water to keep lips nourished while adding a pop of colour. Available in four shades.…

When author Laura Dockrill gave birth in February, she sadly battled postpartum psychosis. A few weeks ago, her long-time friend, singer Adele, shared Laura’s story to raise awareness of the mental illness. And that’s good, because while postpartum psychosis is rare, struggling with motherhood certainly isn’t. OPEN UP IF IT’S TOUGH New mums often feel miserable – and sometimes even regret having a child – but that has nothing to do with how much they love their baby. It’s normal, and if more people could be honest about that, those who are suffering with post natal depression (PND) or postpartam psychosis, may find it easier to speak up. Many women struggle to breastfeed, feel exhausted, or don’t bond well with their babies. My own mother didn’t, but she talked about…

MARNIE SIMPSON ‘ I used to spend loads on nights out’ Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson, 26, reveals her spending habits – which include airport upgrades and online clothes shopping I COULDN’T LIVE WITHOUT MY CAMERA I’ve got three, but my favourite is my Olympus PEN. I take it everywhere. I love the fact that I can look back through the pictures and it brings back so many memories. I need to get all of them printed now so that I can keep them safe. I CAN’T RESIST UPGRADING FLIGHTS I’ll book a normal flight, get to the airport, then pay to upgrade. I always think, “Why didn’t I just do it before, as it’s usually so much cheaper?” I just get really excited when I go away and I feel…

Was it your idea to do this trip? The Silk Road was my idea! The trip was meant to be from China to Venice, but then China wouldn’t play ball – so we thought we’d turn it on its head and go from Venice right up to the Chinese border, as far as we could get. What did you enjoy the most? I was completely dazzled by [rugged Central Asian country] Kyrgyzstan. It’s where I would go to if I was doing “rufty-tufty” – and by that, I mean if you wanted to walk or ride with nobody but a million yaks looking at you. The yurts at night are beautifully appointed, with clean bed linen – but it’s pretty much like sleeping under a carpet… Any other highlights? Tashkent…

We’ve heard the dressing room on GMB is a nightmare when Kate doesn’t get her own way… We all deserve a cheat day, like Vicky, although we’ve been having more of a cheat year… PHARRELL WILLIAMS Oh Pharrell, you’re right. It’s time to just admit that we secretly love Aqua’s Barbie Girl – and we don’t care who knows about it! KANYE WEST… Well if that’s the case, then a large percentage of the human race are secretly cats in corsets and suspenders… Is that Sophie flaunting her new weight loss? Of course not, she’s just sharing the secrets to her success… always eat your five a day. Although watch out for that pineapple, Soph, because ouch. Well, we’re glad at least one of the Kardashian clan still gets to…

Her love life has gone from one car crash to the next. In the space of a week, Jordan was snapped moving some belongings into her boyfriend Kris Boyson’s home, just days before she was spotted on a secret date with Essex businessman Alex Adderson. She was also caught following – then unfollowing – her former love interest, footballer Shane Duffy, on Instagram. And after reportedly enjoying “several” secret meet-ups with millionaire Alex, 25, pals say the mum of five has become increasingly interested in having an open relationship. A source says, “Katie’s been burnt so many times in the past that it’s put her off having a ‘normal’ relationship, and says it’s time to do things differently. She likes the idea of lining up a string of rich men…

● British mum-of-three dies on operating table after having controversial Brazilian butt lift ● The dangerous surgery carries the highest death rate of any aesthetic procedure ● Fat transfer can result in heart attacks or brain embolisms After mum-of-three Leah Cambridge died on the operating table last week, following a botched Brazilian butt lift in a Turkish clinic used by reality stars, the grave reality of the cosmetic procedure was exposed to the world. The 29 year old, from Leeds, suffered three heart attacks during the £5,000 op at Elite Aftercare clinic – allegedly a favourite of celebs such as TOWIE’s Lauren Goodger and Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry. The controversial surgery reshapes the bottom by transferring fat from other areas, such as the stomach or back. And countless celebs endorse…

CBB is known for its romances and hook-ups, but this series has grabbed more headlines than ever due to the obvious sexual tension. Dan Osborne, 27, has been accused of flirting with Gabby Allen, 25 – who he was forced to deny he’d slept with behind his then-pregnant wife Jacqueline Jossa’s back earlier this year. Married At First Sight’s Ben Jardine, 36 – whose estranged wife Stephanie Saintremy says he got a mystery woman pregnant while they were still together – has confessed his love for Roxanne Pallet, 35 – but also admitted he had a crush on Gabby. And footballer Jermaine Pennant, 35, shocked fans by flirting with glamour model Chloe Ayling, 21, and failing to tell her he was married. One fan Tweeted, “I’m hooked to CBB this…

‘ SHE’S UPSET IT’S MADE HEADLINES ONCE AGAIN – IT’S A VERY PERSONAL TOPIC FOR HER’ His recent debut as a co-host on This Morning was overshadowed by the revelation that Mark Wright was keen to start a family with his wife of three years, Michelle Keegan. During his stint on the ITV show, Mark, 31, admitted they talk about baby names “all the time”, adding in an interview published last week that “twins would be great because you’re getting two out of the way at once… triplets would be even better!” UNNECESSARY PRESSURE But pals say Michelle, 31 – who was seen filming comedy show Brassic in Manchester last week – is upset their personal plans have been made public. A source says, “Mark was a bit overexcited about…

At just 14, Paige Hunter was brutally raped by a stranger in a park as she walked back to her home in Sunderland. She struggled to cope and, three months ago, nearly took her own life. Paige, a health and social care student, explains, “After I was raped, I developed PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] and depression. I was having constant flashbacks and it got to the point where I couldn’t deal with it any more, so I went to a bridge and debated if my life was worth living. I was only there for five minutes but, luckily, two people who were in a van stopped and told me that I was worth a lot more than what I was going to do. They called the police and stayed with…

They only welcomed their second child, son Miles, in May, but John Legend would love more children with wife Chrissy Teigen. Asked last week if he’d like to expand his brood, the singer, 39 – who also has two-year-old daughter Luna with Chrissy – confessed, “We’d like to. We can do three. Four, we’ll see.” Chrissy, 32, recently opened up about her post-baby body, Instagramming a photo of her stretch marks with the caption, “Mom bod alert! These just aren’t gonna go away. This is my body.”…

‘I’m excited about the Latin dances’ Her entire TV career may have rested on her being one half of the fashion double act behind What Not To Wear, but Susannah Constantine is now venturing into unknown territory as she competes on Strictly without her close pal Trinny Woodall by her side. But she won’t be far away as Trinny, 54, will be Susannah’s biggest champion. Speaking ahead of her debut on the dance floor, Susannah, 56, says, “Trinny is so excited. She was the first person I told – I told her before I even told my husband. She said, ‘You’ve got to do it, it’ll be amazing. You’ll have a great time.’ She’ll be coming along to watch.” The star hit the headlines in the build-up to Strictly’s return…

❛SHE SEES HER FAIRY-TALE ENDING WITH HIM AND HATES THE IDEA OF GIVING UP ON THAT❜ They have endured a rocky on-off romance for the past seven years, and split in July amid claims of fiery rows. And last week, Gemma Collins and James “Arg” Argent’s relationship took another shock twist when it was confirmed that he’d returned to rehab for his “wellbeing”. Arg, 30, previously checked himself into a rehab centre last year in Thailand to improve his physical and mental wellbeing. In 2014, he also spent time in The Priory for alleged drink and drug issues. WORRIED Opening up about the revelation, Gemma, 37, insisted the pair were back together, but said, “Arg is receiving help and, you know, as long as he’s doing well, that’s great for…

❛IT’S SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE TO KILL ANIMALS FOR ENTERTAINMENT❜ Prince George was reportedly taken to his first grouse shoot at Balmoral, the Queen’s Scottish country estate, last week to watch his father, Prince William, hunt. The five-year-old is said to have observed the centuries-old royal tradition – which involves firing at grouse with guns – with his mum, the Duchess of Cambridge. However, news of their family day out caused outrage, with many people taking to social media to express their dismay. CRUEL One user wrote, “Such a shame that another innocent child will grow up to believe that killing animals for fun will be the normal thing to do.” While another added, “It makes me feel sad and angry that he [George] is going to grow up without empathy…

She shot to fame on reality show Geordie Shore back in 2011, frequently hitting the headlines with her wild boozing and fiery temper. But fast-forward seven years, and Vicky Pattison tells Closer she’s in a much happier place after turning 30 last November and getting engaged to businessman John Noble. The star – who quit Geordie Shore in 2014 – says, “I’ve really grown up since hitting my thirties. I’m in a great place with John and just feel happier. I used to fill my weekends with nights out and not care if I got any sleep. Now I spend my weekends catching up on my washing or putting on a nice face mask and relaxing with a book. Nothing makes me happier than a night in with John, watching…

❛ IT’S BEEN A TURBULENT FEW YEARS, BUT SHE’S DETERMINED TO PUT THE PAST BEHIND HER ❜ She sensationally revealed last week that she’s checking herself into rehab – seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following her bitter divorce from Stephen Belafonte and the death of her father last year. And as Mel B, 43, prepares to enter the facility next month, pals say Simon Cowell, 58 – who has worked alongside the former Spice Girl on America’s Got Talent and The X Factor – has stepped in to support her. EMOTIONAL PRESSURE The mum-of-three – who alleged that she had suffered domestic abuse at the hands of her ex during their turbulent ten-year marriage (allegations of which he was subsequently cleared by the courts) – was at the…

There are large and ongoing outbreaks of measles in Europe, with thousands of people affected – mostly teens and young people who missed their MMR vaccine as children. Public Health England are now advising anyone who missed out on theirs, or who is unsure if they had both doses, to contact their GP to catch-up. That’s particularly important if they’re travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks, including Greece, France and Italy, going to big gatherings like festivals, or starting university.…

Celebs In Solitary – what on earth?! I didn’t want to do this at all! I said, “You must be joking! Forget about it!” But the production crew were very charming… Being completely on your own didn’t faze you? I’m quite fascinated by that “solitary” thing… I went from an entire life of being with people, in a family situation, to all of a sudden divorce and an empty nest, in the same blink of an eye [Anthea split from husband Grant Bovey six years ago, after 13 years of marriage]. I’ve had to do a lot of work to be comfortable in this position – and this was my ultimate test. What was the hardest thing? The mornings, waking up. I remember lying in bed, thinking, “Why…

Alicia Douvall often dominated headlines in the noughties with her kiss-and-tell stories on famous footballers, as well as her more recent claims that she had sex with music mogul Simon Cowell. But mum-of-two Alicia, 38, believes Jordan is making a mistake by dating toyboy Kris Boyson, 29, and being snapped with Alex Adderson, 25. Speaking to Closer, the former glamour model says, “Katie needs to step away from the public eye – what worked for her before doesn’t work any more. She needs to reinvent herself and get rid of the toyboys. She goes out with them because she can manipulate them – and they’re happy to be in the media. I know people will look at the mistakes I made and maybe say I’m not one to give advice,…

In new documentary Sex, Knives And Liposuction (airing 20 Sept on W at 10pm), filmed at the same Turkish clinic where Leah died, the shocking truth about the procedure was revealed. Before Leah’s death, surgeon Dr Ali Uckan said on camera that patients risked bleeding, infection or blood clots. He also added that if you were injected in the wrong place, it could rupture an internal organ – a matter of “life or death”. Beautician Keshia Rutter, 30, was filmed having the op for the documentary and described the pain as feeling like she was “run over, fell off a cliff and hit by a cricket bat”. She added, “The horrible part was the blood leaking out, and the fat. I had bandages round me… and I was projectile vomiting.”…

Married Jermaine has been regarded as the bad boy of the house due to his flirting with Chloe – even appearing to put his wedding ring back on after she was evicted last week. But Nicola says the footballer – who was once renowned for his wild partying and drink drive arrests – is a good guy. She says, “I know Jermaine, We’ve eaten out together with Tom and friends. He’s lovely and he’s always been really nice to me. He’s funny, too. I don’t know the situation with his wife. Obviously if she’s hurt over his behaviour, that’s terrible. But their marriage may be on the rocks. You never know.” Jermaine has been open about growing up in a tough area of Nottingham. His mum, Debbie, walked out when…

The Celebrity Big Brother house is no stranger to drama, but as Closer went to press, fans had been left outraged by Roxanne Pallett, after she accused fellow housemate Ryan Thomas of being a “woman-beater” and said she was hurt following what appeared to be a harmless play fight. Meanwhile, Ryan was baffled and threatened to leave after receiving an official warning from Big Brother. Roxanne, 35, broke down in tears and refused to sleep in the same bedroom as Ryan, but fans flooded Ofcom with complaints against her – insisting Ryan had “barely touched” the former Emmerdale actress and that she should be removed from the house. Ryan’s girlfriend, Lucy Mecklenburgh, quickly responded in a Tweet, writing, “Please RT or like if u want Roxanne removed. I don’t think…

Tucked away on a suburban street in north London is Maytree – a safe haven for people driven to the depths of despair. Since it opened 16 years ago, it’s saved thousands of lives and has never been needed more – especially by young women. The suicide rate for females aged 20 to 24 has virtually doubled in the last decade, while suicide among teenagers has also increased by 20 per cent. PRESSURE Set up by people who previously worked for the Samaritans, visitors are welcomed at Maytree for a free five-day stay, to get the help they desperately need. Director Natalie Howarth explains, “In the last couple of years, we’ve noticed a big increase in young women staying, and although there can be many complex reasons, social media plays…

She’s been open about her heartbreak after her estranged husband Ant McPartlin’s romance with former PA and friend Anne-Marie Corbett was revealed in June. And Lisa Armstrong, 41, couldn’t contain her emotions last week, when a string of photos emerged of the loved-up pair enjoying a romantic holiday in Italy. Taking to Twitter, Lisa retweeted a message from a fan that read, “Seeing those pictures of Ant hugging his girlfriend and looking smitten must be so painful for Lisa,” alongside a crying emoji. A source says, “Seeing the snaps was a huge blow to Lisa, and it really knocked her back when she’d been doing so well. “She’s trying so hard to move on, but seeing those pictures was really tough and she feels like Ant’s rubbing salt into her…

She split from second husband Justin Theroux in February, but Jennifer Aniston has sparked claims she’s back on the dating scene. The 49-year-old actress was spotted looking close to a mystery man in Milan – with the pair enjoying a warm embrace as they said goodbye. The photos emerged just days after Jennifer was linked to her boxing trainer, Leyon Azubuike. The former Friends star started working out with Leyon, 29, last year, but sources across the pond claimed sparks started to fly between them recently. While both have remained tight-lipped on the dating claims, Leyon did open up about working out with Jennifer last week, insisting, “She’s very diligent. She is ready to work out hard, every single time she hits the gym.”…

She was left fighting for her life in 2014, following an operation to make her features softer, leaving her bleeding from her eyes and struggling to breathe. But Kellie Maloney still didn’t give up her fight to have full gender reassignment surgery. She told Closer , “Doctors refused to do the surgery… The idea of not being able to go through with it left me very depressed. I was disturbed looking at my male parts. The doctors decided to put me through a training programme to get me fitter, and the surgery went ahead in 2015. It was a fantastic feeling, to be in the body I’d always wanted.”…

Tourette’s sufferer Brent Zillwood met Challis Orme at an Exeter pub in 2013 and they were the first couple from the show to tie the knot. Brent, 27, says, “I was nervous about how Challis would deal with my Tourette’s. On our first date, I got up, hugged her, and started swearing. I was so twitchy, but once we started talking it distracted me!” Challis, 30, adds, “A friend who worked in TV asked if I’d be interested in being filmed on a date with a guy who had Tourette’s. I was unsure – but only because I didn’t want an awkward first date on TV. I’m so glad I agreed! Brent was so open it put me at ease.” Exactly a year later, the couple wed in Las Vegas.…

‘Tinder’s for a quick sh* g – that doesn’t interest me’ He shot to fame as a sex symbol and as part of ’80s boyband Bros, alongside twin brother Luke and bassist Craig Logan. And as Matt Goss approaches his 50th birthday, he still has as many female admirers today as he did three decades ago. But despite this, the star – who has a residency at 1Oak at The Mirage Casino in Las Vegas – is currently single. He says he’s on the lookout for love after a difficult few years, during which he lost his mum Carol to breast cancer in 2014 – although her tragic death saw Matt and Luke patch things up after a ten-year fallout. He tells Closer, “It’s not been an easy few years…

‘Living alone at 19 forced me to grow up’ They’re regarded as one of Hollywood’s golden couples since marrying in 2012 and welcoming daughters James, three, and Ines, 23 months. And Blake Lively says that despite their hugely successful film careers, she and husband Ryan Reynolds make their marriage work by putting family first. The 30 year old, who found worldwide fame in US teen drama Gossip Girl, says, “Wherever we go in the world on our adventure together, our family is our first priority. Work comes and goes, but we value our private time together more than anything. “Enjoying our time as a couple and being good parents to our children makes us happier and more confident, which allows us to do our best work without worrying about spending…

LOOK AFTER YOUR SKIN... I like to use a good moisturiser with an SPF of over 30, and a good overnight cream. I love face masks, like the ones by Iroha Nature. They only take 15 mins, so if you’re in a rush, it’s perfect. GO FOR A NATURAL GLOW... When I was on Geordie Shore , I looked like I’d been dipped in Ronseal paint, but now I prefer a subtle glow. A spray tan makes you look slimmer and healthier, but I try to go for a less orange colour now! GET YOUR SLEEP... I used to love wild nights out, but I’m much more of a homebody now. I like getting my sleep and feeling refreshed. If I have a big night out now, I really feel…

‘Life’s too short to let fear and doubt hold you back’ She’s about to step away from her famous sisters to launch her first solo singing tour, but Coleen Nolan readily admits that she is far from confident. In fact, her decision to step on stage alone is part of a concerted effort to face her fears, after a painful few years involving the loss of her beloved sister Bernie, learning her older sister Linda has incurable cancer and, more recently, her divorce from guitarist Ray Fensome. Coleen tells Closer , “I last toured as the Nolan Sisters in 2009 and remember standing on stage with Bernie and Ray, thinking I had my whole life mapped out. Now, nine years later, I’ve lost both those people. When I was first…

ALL ABOUT YOU DEAL WITH BIG DAY DISAPPOINTMENT We all assume our wedding day will be perfect, but things don’t always go to plan. Emma reveals how to cope with any blips... On average, weddings cost £25k and take a year to plan, so the pressure on couples is huge. When things go wrong – whether it’s a baby screaming through the service, terrible weather or drunk guests ruining the reception – the combination of stress and high expectations can lead to crushing disappointment. If you feel deflated after your wedding, talk to someone. You invested a lot of time, money and effort, so it’s OK to feel angry and it will help to vent. If a certain individual ruined the day, tell them, either face-to-face or by text or…
