Inhoudsopgave van Issue 905 - Closer

As our new normal continues to be anything but, it’s no surprise we struggle to switch off at night. From bereavements and illness, to family and money worries, or even more frivolous concerns like boredom, there’s so much to process. This week, we explain how you can improve your sleep (and examine what those weird dreams really mean) and we’ve asked the experts for advice on grieving in isolation and fighting debt. We’re also highlighting the amazing army of unpaid carers looking after the vulnerable people they love, and explain what you can do to help. And, as always, we have light relief, too. If you’re missing meeting up with your friends for a drink, head to page 30 to find out about a naked pub where the regulars don’t…

Lynette Morse, 38, lives with her partner of eight years, Cameron, also 38, in Glasgow. She says, “I signed up to OnlyFans in January this year after reading an article about a woman who seemed to make loads of money through posting bikini shots. “At the time, my business selling baby clothes was pretty quiet and I wanted to earn a bit extra. I’d never done anything like it before, but I discussed it with Cameron and we looked at the site together. Although there are some users who are happy to post some pretty graphic pictures, there were also people just posing in sexy dresses, so I decided to give it a go. “I posted about 30 photographs of me in bikinis and low-cut tops. I got a few…

She recently revealed her heartache at being forced to ban hugging at her mother’s funeral – and insiders say Lisa Kudrow has been supported by her former co-stars, in particular Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox. Lisa, 56, whose mother Nedra sadly died of coronavirus in February, said, “All I could think that whole day was there has to be coronavirus here. Some people [understood] and most were looking at me like I was a monster when I’d take two steps back, put up my hands and say, ‘Hi, thanks for coming.’ That was hard.” Courteney and Jen have always had a close relationship with Lisa. In 2017, Courteney was snapped having lunch with Lisa and her father, Lee, and last week it was revealed Lisa and Courteney would be starring…

LAUREN ANGERS FANS AFTER NEW BOYFRIEND RIDDLE She opened up to Closer about her love life last week, saying she hopes to date a policeman or doctor next. But just days after our interview, Lauren Goodger posted pictures to Instagram – taken in the early hours of Saturday morning, as she partied at home with pal John Haynes – with the caption “my boyfriend”. She even shared a snap of them kissing, while John posted photos of Lauren, 33, and a group of pals enjoying the night with what appeared to be alcohol in the background. Her rep denied that she is currently in a relationship, saying, “Her saying that John was her boyfriend was a joke.” However, that wasn’t the end of the drama. After the pictures from John’s…

‘Being a mum is the most rewarding thing’ She made her name as Strictly’s blonde bombshell – but now reveals she loves her new, quieter life. While she was pregnant, Kristina Rihanoff moved away from London to be with her fiancé, former rugby player Ben Cohen, and says she’s enjoying settling down with him and their four-year-old daughter Mila in the Northamptonshire countryside. The couple also spend lots of time with Ben’s 12-year-old twins, Harriet and Isabelle, from his previous marriage. And Kristina, 42 – who met Ben, 41, when they were paired together on Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 – admits that, despite being content as a mum, another baby is the last thing on her mind. “People always ask me about having another child!” she laughs. “I’d feel…

Many children may also struggle to sleep during lockdown, as they’re lacking the mental and physical stimulation of school. “Get kids moving as much as possible in the day, and stick to a regular bedtime routine,” Kerry says. “If they’re having difficulty nodding off, push it back to a time when they feel naturally tired. “Talk to your children about any worries they might have during the day, to help them feel calm, then wind down an hour before bed without TV, which can cause bad dreams. Stick to light bedtime stories and give them a massage or play with toys. If they wake in the night, try breathing exercises too. Avoid blackcurrant squashes after 3pm, because they can irritate the bladder and cause bed wetting.” ● For more information…

When we catch up with Chloe Goodman just days after giving birth, she admits she is in a blissful baby bubble. The star cuddles her newborn –who she’s named Isla Elizabeth Hall – and says she and QPR footballer fiancé Grant Hall have never been happier. Speaking exclusively to Closer, she says, “We’re doing really well – we’re not getting much sleep at the moment, but we’re thrilled with our baby girl.” EMOTIONAL UPHEAVAL It’s not been an easy journey to motherhood for Chloe, 26, but she maintains that has made celebrating her daughter’s arrival even more special. The star – who found fame on Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother – tragically suffered a miscarriage at the age of 23, with her then-partner Jordan Clarke. Two years…

Research has found that 81 per cent of UK parents feel their mental health has been affected by lockdown, with childcare pressures the main reason. Over the past few weeks, I have asked my sister and brother to help educate my kids. My sister spends two hours a week online teaching my youngest English, while my brother does three hours of maths. This has been an utter revelation, because the kids work without complaint for aunty and uncle! Ask around your network to see who can help you. If you have young kids, maybe their grandparents can read to them for an hour a day, or a creative friend could do a remote drawing class. The key is to use people’s natural talents. If you have a partner, ensure you…

In March 2019, Clare Seal set up an anonymous Instagram account called @myfrugalyear. Having added up all of her debts – £25k on credit cards and a £2k overdraft – the mum of two wanted to anonymously document her journey to paying them off. In just 14 months, she has paid off almost half, gained 53k followers and has now written a book, Real Money, to help others in the same situation. “For years I was too ashamed to admit that I couldn’t manage my income and outgoings,” explains Clare. “I got stuck in a cycle of borrowing and spending that my meagre salary couldn’t keep up with.” She is now on a mission to take away the shame of debt and to help others get out of it –…

MIX AND MATCH Designing a wall display doesn’t mean you have to stick to just traditional photo frames. Try pairing them with mirrors, textured wall hangings or a shelf to add plenty of interest and personality. Sticking to a theme like botanicals, or a certain set of colours, will keep it looking curated rather than messy. DEFINE A SPACE A framed display doesn’t need to be in the centre of a wall and you don’t need loads of space, either. Buddying up posters and prints together in a corner will add just as much impact without overcrowding your room. This works particularly well in an open plan space as it helps to define new areas, like a dining space or home office. BE CREATIVE Pressed flowers from the garden, pretty…

The 1 June episode aims to provide an accurate description of life as a deaf person in the UK. Ben Mitchell (played by Max Bowden) began to lose his hearing following the injuries he sustained in the horrifying river boat crash, which was part of the soap’s 35th anniversary back in February. The episode has been written and produced with guidance from the National Deaf Children’s Society, with the intention of giving an insight into the experiences of deaf people today.…

ow are you feeling about being back on the show? Really excited. We loved doing the first series. For me, it’s what we do anyway – we sit at home, we watch a lot of TV together, and there’s always a running commentary from the pair of us. So, it was a no-brainer to say yes to a second series! How does Eddie feel about being on TV? A lot of people freeze and have nothing to say when you put them on camera, but Eddie’s always got a lot to say! He’s fine with it. He’s exactly the same on camera as he is off camera – there’s no difference. Does your daughter, Betsy [nine], want to join you both? Oh, she definitely would. If there was a family…

Happy Place This feel-good podcast is bought to us from presenter and TV personality Fearne Cotton. Built upon the success of her book Happy, Fearne chats to a new famous figure each episode and they discuss finding happiness in everyday life. With tips and advice from experts, too, this is both hilarious and wholesome. In one of the episodes, Fearne chats to 21-year-old racing driver Billy Monger, who sadly lost parts of both of his legs in an accident in 2017. He chats about his recovery, mental health and getting through such a tough time in his life one day at a time. Incredibly inspirational. Listen now on Spotify. Lady Gaga Chromatica To say we are excited for this new offering to drop would be an understatement – after being…

Wonder what the kids learned in today’s home-schooling with Eva? It could be art. Or was it a beginners course in contouring? Olly only realises that his yoghurt is well out of date when it explodes as he opens the fridge… luckily, his sexy new wig escaped damage! SAMIRA MIGHTY... That’s easy, Samira. The law of attraction states that every man we fall in love with turns out to be a scumbag. And the men we date who we’re not really that into are, basically, faultless. AMBER DAVIES... Same here, Amber – we’d be able to ace Trivial Pursuit these days. But the biggest question of all is… are we still going to do Zoom quizzes when lockdown ends? INSPIGRAM BRITNEY That’s true, Britney, unless you’ve lived a life like…

They’ve been best pals for over 25 years, since they first met on the set of beloved sitcom Friends, supporting each other through multiple breakups and career highs and lows. And sources tell Closer that, during lockdown, the bond between Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox has grown stronger than ever as they have been a lifeline for each other. Courteney, 55, recently revealed she was struggling, missing the “physical touch” from her fiancé – Snow Patrol band member Johnny McDaid, 43 – who was stuck more than 5,000 miles away in the UK when lockdown was enforced. The pair had ended their engagement in 2015 – something Courteney dubbed “brutal” – but later reconciled. STRUGGLING An insider shares, “Courteney has been struggling since lockdown, when she realised that she and…

It’s been almost two years since their shock split, but it hasn’t stopped Liam Payne reminiscing about their ill-fated romance, with the singer last week recalling again the innocent moment he first laid eyes on Cheryl as a 14-year-old X Factor hopeful. During a video segment for an interview with Esquire magazine, in which the former 1D star, 26, looked back at old clips, the singer looked slightly awkward as he came across the 2008 audition where Cheryl, 36 – with whom he shares three-year-old son Bear – appears on the judging panel. When asked to describe the clip, he said, “Let’s address the elephant in the room. Obviously the future mother of my son is sat in that chair.” The Strip That Down singer – who’s separated from his…

Heather Brown, 60, lives in Wellesbourne, Warwickshire. She helps care for her father Ken, 90, who is living with Alzheimer’s disease. She is an ambassador for charity Dementia Carers Count and runs a weekly dementia café and a support group for carers. She says, “Before COVID-19, Dad would attend day centres and the Wellesbourne Dementia Café, where he loved to socialise, and his days would be full. I would see him nearly every day but now when I see him, I feel guilty because I’m worried about giving him the virus. “Because he can’t get out to his activities, he isn’t moving much, so his mobility is getting worse and he’s had two falls since lockdown started. Also, for the first time, he’s getting the names of his relatives confused,…

Mark: ‘I’ve always wanted to inspire everyone’ He was catapulted into the spotlight on TOWIE, before moving into presenting and landing a career-changing gig on US TV show Extra. And it seems Mark Wright is making another career turn and trying his luck as a fitness guru, after broadcasting his home workouts on Instagram with celeb pals like Olly Murs, Tyson Fury, Joel Dommett, Amanda Holden and Keith Lemon. Mark, 33, has also launched a fitness programme called “Train Wright”, in which paying customers can follow his HIIT workouts and meal plans to get fit for summer. Speaking on his Instagram last week, Mark – who was a semi-professional footballer before joining TOWIE – told fans, “The beauty of home workouts is they are simple but effective. Anyone can stand…

CAROL: ‘Having a toyboy is the in thing’ wo-time winner of Rear Of The Year, Carol Vorderman has never been afraid to show off her age-defying figure. The former TV presenter was all smiles when she was pictured recently in a skintight jumpsuit on her way to present her radio show. Make-up and wrinkle-free, Carol – who turns 60 in December – has always dismissed claims she’s been under the knife, crediting hiking for sculpting her hourglass figure, though she admits to having had Botox to hold back the years. Describing herself as “the same old Vorders”, she’s undergone a dramatic weight loss transformation since her early days as the resident mathematician on Countdown. At her heaviest, Carol weighed more than 11st and was a size 16, but in her…

CHANGING SHAPE: “I’m the biggest I’ve ever been and I have had a couple of cries about it. My stomach is still super squishy. But Grant said to me, ‘You carried her for 40 weeks, at least give yourself 40 weeks to feel more normal again.’ My boobs went from a C to an F in pregnancy and now they’re even bigger. I dread to think what they will look like when she’s done with them! But that’s what they’re there for.” PICKING A NAME: “My partner chose Isla and I thought it was beautiful and a lovely classy name. We chose Elizabeth as that’s my middle name and it was my great grandmother’s. It has been passed down the whole family.” BREASTFEEDING: “She latched on quickly and breastfeeding has…

Sometimes I bore myself by always saying that rejection is rife in the dating world. But by a law of averages, we’re more likely to be rejected than accepted. The number of people we match with has increased tenfold, thanks to Tinder et al, but the number of times we’re rejected has also increased tenfold. Sometimes, we get so paranoid it’s happening again we assume rejection, even when it’s not the case. Living through a global pandemic comes with so many challenges – to put it mildly. While we may have more time indoors, after a day staring at my laptop, I don’t want to stare at another screen typing messages to randoms on dating apps. I live alone – if anything, I just want to exercise my vocal cords…

COOL CASUAL Jesy Nelson, 28 Singer Jesy has become a style queen of quarantine thanks to her love of crop tops and cargo pants. In this picture of her in a gorgeous orange dress, we were reminded of her star style when in full Little Mix mode, too. What a pro! COSY CO-ORD Olivia Bowen, 26 In this throwback to the NTAs, reality star Olivia wowed in a dramatic navy gown. Right now, she nails the comfy-meets-chic basics in a stylish matching cardiand-skirt combo. We love both looks – a double fashion thumbs up from us! BRILLIANT IN BLACK Kady McDermott, 24 She’s usually one for looking glamorous, but recently Love Island star Kady has been keeping things chilled during lockdown. She was pretty in pink at a red carpet…

1 LONG LOST FAMILY SPECIAL: BORN WITHOUT TRACE HEARTBREAKING TALES MON 1/TUE 2 JUNE, 9PM, ITV Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell are back with a two-part Long Lost Family special that focuses on foundlings – babies who were abandoned within days or even hours of being born. We meet David, who was left on the front seat of a car in Belfast in 1962, and Helen, who was discovered in a phone box near Dublin four years Iater. Both of them have spent all their lives trying to discover who they are, but with the help of a crack team of investigators and the latest DNA technology, it looks like they might have some answers – but not necessarily what either of them were expecting. 2 BIG LITTLE LIES/CHERNOBYL AMAZING…

MUST READ The Split (SHARON BOLTON) A year ago, out of sheer desperation, Felicity Lloyd signed up to join a research trip on the remote island of South Georgia. She viewed it as her only way to escape. Meanwhile, Freddie Lloyd has served time for murder. Out at last, he’s on Felicity’s trail. And this time, he won’t stop until he finds her… This page-turner is full of shock twists.…

She signed up to X-rated photo-sharing site OnlyFans a few weeks ago and, already, Kerry Katona has notched up an impressive 11,000 likes. As well as a welcome ego boost for Kerry – who has dropped from a size 16 to an 8 last year – it’s also enhanced the twice-bankrupt star’s dwindling bank balance. A source tells us, “When Kerry first looked into the idea of an OnlyFans site, she was wary. If people don’t click to look at your pictures, it can be a massive dent to your confidence. But, thankfully, the response has been amazing for Kerry. She’s had loads of people liking her pictures and posting positive messages on the site.” Danielle Lloyd – who has been on the site since late last year and has…

Just weeks after splitting from his girlfriend Molly Hurwitz, a 29-year-old talent agent, Matthew Perry, 50, has reportedly signed back up to celebrity dating app Raya. But he is said to be getting a helping hand from Courteney Cox, who has vowed to set him up with one of her friends to give him a much-needed boost. A source reveals, “The Friends cast are like family, and playing a couple on the show brought Courteney and Matthew close in real life too. She wants to make sure he’s back on track now that he’s single again.” Matthew – who was recently reported to have been secretly in love with Courteney while on the show – has been open about his struggles with alcoholism and an addiction to painkillers after a…

The Kardashians have dominated pop culture over the past decade, establishing themselves as the first reality TV family of the showbiz world. But their multi-million-dollar fortunes and rise to global stardom haven’t been without their dramas. And while it’s the family’s women at the heart of the fame, behind the scenes it’s the men who have been central to some of the most shocking stories, with legal battles, sex scandals, and stints in rehab. Earlier this month, lawyers confirmed that Scott Disick – longtime ex of Kourtney and father to her three children – had re-entered rehab to deal with “past traumas” after the deaths of both his parents – having previously been to rehab to battle his drink and drug addictions. At the start of this year, teetotal Kim’s…

MADONNA: ‘Most men my age aren’t dateable’ She turns 62 in August, yet Madonna isn’t afraid to flaunt her toned body – or her toyboy lover. The star recently left little to the imagination as she showed off two snaps of her posing in see-through lingerie, and revealed she is undergoing regenerative treatment after suffering pain from a previous knee surgery. But displaying a pert bottom in a “belfie”, fans questioned whether the Queen of Pop has boosted her rear with implants, as happened in 2018 when she appeared on stage in New York with a seemingly curvier derriere. Madonna has neither confirmed nor denied rumours of surgery. Previously, the singer has said of her revealing outfits, “I take care of myself. I’m in good shape. Who’s to say when…

Every Friday, Pam Fraser meets up with over 100 people to drink and gossip in the pub she runs. But she doesn’t need to worry about dressing up for her “outing” – everyone there is in the nude. Fortunately, lockdown “landlady” Pam isn’t breaking government rules, as it’s a virtual pub she organises via video call – but she admits it can get rowdy. Naturist Pam, 28, is single and lives with her mum and two brothers in Preston. She says, “The customers at my pub are all ages and come from all sorts of professions – but the one thing we have in common is we like getting naked as often as possible. I run events for the British Naturism Society, so I know a lot of the regulars.…

From the common “falling” sensation to the downright zany, here’s what our subconscious may be trying to tell us… FALLING Falling dreams typically occur during the first stage of sleep and are often accompanied by muscle spasms or jerking. They can be your mind’s way of drawing your attention to feelings of frustration and loss of control. Your subconscious is urging you to identify the source of feelings of uncertainty and to find a solution – even if that means accepting your limitations. TEETH FALLING OUT This represents feelings of insecurity or inadequacy, and often occurs in times of transition. It can also mirror anxieties about getting older and how others perceive you. Animal teeth represent aggression, while false teeth signal concern about self-image. BEING PREGNANT Dreaming you are pregnant,…

Headlines claiming we’ll have a COVID-19 vaccine by September could make people think there’s nothing to worry about any more. However, although the process is being fast-tracked, it’s not a given, so we must not let our good habits slip. A VACCINE IS COMING – BUT WE NEED TO TAKE CAUTIOUS STEPS When University of Oxford researchers – who are the favourites to find a successful coronavirus treatment – tested a new vaccine on animals, it didn’t stop them catching it, it just protected them against pneumonia. It’s now being tested on humans, but we shouldn’t pin all our hopes on it. We need other options. Many vaccines may work, but it’s vital we have solid proof, and then billions of doses will need to be manufactured and distributed. That’s…

One of the hardest parts of losing my dad last year was not being able to say goodbye and imagining him dying alone. Hundreds of thousands of people are experiencing the same now. COVID-19 hasn’t just prevented people sharing those last, important moments, but also denied many a proper funeral with family and friends. KEEP IN CONTACT Coping with the early stages of loss can be confusing and lonely. There is no escaping the pain, but visiting a friend or family member helps to manage the agony. As that isn’t possible, find the next best way to connect. Meeting a friend for a walk will help to clear your head a little, and spending time outdoors is important, as seeing the world continuing can feel reassuring. Video calling, phoning and…

Her fridge and meals are full of foods from the four main groups to give her the vitamins and minerals she needs. It’s good she picks wholegrains like brown rice – these fill us up, aid the digestive system and help heart health. For more, she could have breakfast smoothies with banana and oats.” FRIDGE HEALTH RATING 8/10 RHIAN How…

MORNING 9AM – I wish I could say I’ve been doing 6am yoga every day, but I’ve been sleeping till 9ish – even later if I’ve been on the radio the night before! 9.30AM – Breakfast is usually a big cup of coffee with yoghurt, granola and frozen berries, or if I’m feeling particularly energetic, I’ll make an omelette. 10.30AM – I’ve hardly worn make-up at all during lockdown – I’ve been applying Elizabeth Arden’s daily moisturiser each morning. Occasionally, when I go into work to do my radio show at the weekends, I‘ll put on nude Charlotte Tilbury lipstick too. My beauty regime has been pretty minimal over the last few weeks – I don’t think I’ve shaved my legs once! I’ve spent 99 per cent of the time…

Eden Taylor-Draper (who plays Belle) tells us how she’s spending lockdown. She says, “I’m just trying to make the most of my days! Getting outside for a walk keeps me sane. Exercise and meditation are also important to me. I’ve been cooking, baking, reading – and having a glass of wine on the front step of my house in the evening sun. I’ve also watched [BBC drama] Normal People twice through already! I miss my family and friends, but the main thing is being safe, healthy, and following the rules.” FOLLOW OUR LIVE TWEETS OVER AT @CloserOnline…

ou’re stepping into the footsteps of legends… When I went to see the Strike It Lucky set, I won’t say it was ‘emotional’ – that’s going over the top – but there was a definite pull on my heartstrings and it still has that retro feel. Brucey [Sir Bruce Forsyth], Michael Barrymore, Des O’Connor… These are big shoes to fill! I’m over the moon to be given a chance to do this. What are your memories of watching these shows? Play Your Cards Right and The Price Is Right were the big Saturday night shows, and I’d watch them with my parents and brother, having a Chinese. Strike It Lucky was mid-week, and Bullseye was Sunday nights. Every time I saw Jim Bowen – even as an adult – all…
