We were delighted to catch up with Michelle Heaton this week. She’s always been honest about the toll her early menopause took on her and her relationship – now she reveals how she’s regained her mojo at the age of 40. Part of her reinvention involved a healthy diet and exercise regime, and you can follow in her footsteps with our brilliant Slimming World plan on page 56. It’s possible to lose half a stone in a fortnight and give those (ex) Love Islanders a run for their money on the beach! Talking of holidays, don’t miss our special report on page 22 about the cruelty inflicted on magnificent creatures such as whales and dolphins for entertainment. You could make a real difference by not visiting marine parks and aquariums…

She couldn’t contain her smiles last week as she announced her engagement to on/off toyboy Kris Boyson on Loose Women, revealing how she “wants more kids”, having suffered two miscarriages while in their year-long relationship. But behind the happy façade, close pals fear Jordan – who admitted she wants twins after filming a recent visit to an IVF clinic for her reality TV show My Crazy Life – is on a path to self-destruction after her most troubled year yet. A source says, “Katie always needs to shock and to have drama or a new project to focus on. She can’t ever be alone, and always thinks a man and babies are the solution to every issue in her life. But her friends are very worried she’s not in the…

‘ THE GIRLS ARE WORRIED ABOUT THE STRAIN OF A NEWBORN ON CAITLYN’ Their relationship has gone from strength to strength since they were first spotted together in 2017, with Caitlyn Jenner rarely being seen without Sophia Hutchins – who she’s referred to as her “partner”, despite neither of the transgender icons ever officially confirming their romance. And with reports the pair are set to marry, insiders tell Closer how 69-year-old Caitlyn – who has six biological children and four stepchildren – may soon celebrate an eleventh child with 22-year- old Sophia, who was also born a man. A source says, “Caitlyn and Sophia have spoken about starting a family together for the last year or so, and while Caitlyn’s already got ten children, she’s never had the chance to…

‘I’m a strong, independent woman’ Their roller-coaster relationship once kept TOWIE fans gripped. And, despite finally splitting in 2011, Lauren Goodger insists she still can’t escape her famous ex, Mark Wright. Opening up at the launch of Celebs Go Dating, Lauren, 32, says, “I’m always ‘Mark Wright’s ex’, and always known just for having been in that relationship. I can’t hate it, because that’s what we were first known for, doing TOWIE together. But it must be so annoying for him. He’s married now, leave him alone!” Lauren’s sympathy towards her ex may come as a surprise to Mark – who publicly pleaded with her to “move on” and stop mentioning him during the build-up to his wedding to actress Michelle Keegan in 2015. AMAZING SEX And her revelation may…

Danielle’s miscarriage heartache She’s been open about her desire for baby number five, revealing to Closer earlier this year, “I’m definitely going to have one more. Michael wants another, and the boys keep asking if there’s a girl in my tummy yet.” But last week, in a heartbreaking Instagram post, Danielle Lloyd confirmed she had suffered a miscarriage. The mum of four – who has sons Archie, nine, Harry, eight, and George, five, with ex Jamie O’Hara, and 22-month-old son Ronnie with husband Michael O’Neill – shared the tragic news with an image that read, “I may have only held you in my womb for a moment but I will hold you in my heart forever.” After being flooded with messages of support, Danielle, 35, posted, “Thank you for all…

‘I still have huge love for Jude & his children’ JUDE LAW – Sienna met Jude on the set of Alfie in 2004. They got engaged later the same year, but by 2005, his affair with his children’s nanny emerged. They dated on and off until splitting in 2011. DANIEL CRAIG – Sienna reunited with Jude after his infidelity in 2005, but got her own back on him almost immediately by having a “brief” affair with her Layer Cake co-star, Daniel. RHYS IFANS – The Welsh actor was heartbroken in 2007 when Sienna dumped him following a year of dating. In an outburst, he called her a “wrong ’un” and added, “f*** Sienna.” BALTHAZAR GETTY – There was more scandal in 2008 when Sienna had an affair with married dad-of-four,…

HOLLY WILLOUGHBY We were about 19 when we met, and we just clicked – both presenting kids’ TV and excited about our careers. Holly wanted me to go out on the town with her one night recently when she didn’t have This Morning the next day, but I had to say no because I don’t think I could be a mum with a hangover! LEIGH FRANCIS There is a difference between Leigh and (alter-ego) Keith Lemon. Leigh’s got kids, and he’s quite reserved – but he’s obsessed with creating characters. When he’s Keith, he can get away with anything, so he’s just pushing the boundaries and being ridiculous. MCBUSTED I’ve known the lads since they started out in music. I don’t have many showbiz mates, but McFly and Busted have…

We all fear getting muddled and forgetful as we get older, especially as that may lead to dementia, but a new study that followed 2,000 people for five years has revealed how we can stay sharp. Researchers discovered that being sociable – so going to the cinema and out with friends regularly – playing games like cards, doing crosswords and crafting slashed the risk of developing memory problems. The more of these things people did, the younger their brains were. So get out and have fun – your brain with thank you for it.…

eries two follows on from the first instalment, where you trained as a Maternity Care Assistant… The first series was extremely overwhelming and emotional. For series two, I wondered a lot about whether it would feel like the norm now, or whether I’d still get emotional. I wondered whether that side of it wears off the more you get used to it – but it didn’t, and I’m glad it still knocks me out, because it’s the most incredible thing to witness. Did they chuck you straight back in at the deep end? They did, in that I went straight back on to the wards and was told to get going. But I was with somebody for the first week, as I’d been away from it for nine months, so…

They were snapped last week eyeing-up a £45m penthouse in one of Miami’s most exclusive buildings, ahead of the launch of David Beckham’s MLS soccer team in America later this year. But pals say Posh, 45, is worried the new pad could mean David, 44, spending more time in the infamous party town – where he has been known to enjoy nights out with his new team and celeb pals – while she’s back in London with their four children, Brooklyn, 20, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 14, and eight-year-old Harper. A source says, “Vic is fine with the idea of David having a base in Miami. She appreciates he’s going to be working there for over half the year, whereas when she travels to work, mainly in China and New York,…

She was hailed as a breath of fresh air for the royal family after marrying Prince Harry in May last year. Since then, Meghan Markle has ruffled feathers within the establishment, with reports of the duchess being “difficult to manage”, as palace aides have left in droves – and she now appears to have fallen out of favour with the nation, too. The couple’s attitude towards privacy has sparked a fierce backlash – just last week, the duchess, who’s turning 38, infuriated royal supporters when it was revealed the couple had turned their family home into a fortress to ensure their privacy. It’s hot on the heels of the pair being widely criticised for insisting on keeping details of their son Archie’s christening a secret. And, earlier this month, Meghan…

Singer Saysha Williams, 25, lives in Bruton, Somerset. She says, “It doesn’t surprise me that more people than ever are being influenced to get surgery after watching shows like Love Island – that’s exactly what happened to me. “Growing up, I had no issue with my lips. But once I started watching reality TV shows and saw girls with big pouty lips, I started to get a complex that mine were too thin and felt very insecure about my appearance. “I decided on lip fillers, and though my family were against it, I ignored their concerns. In August 2016, a friend recommended a beautician, and I went along to a leisure centre where she rented a room. I didn’t think to ask if she had the correct qualifications. “I paid…

This time last year Megan Barton-Hanson had just left the Love Island villa with her boyfriend, Wes Nelson. It wasn’t to be, though, and they split six months after leaving the show that made them famous. Now, Megan, 25, is said to be in the early days of dating her CGD co-star Demi Sims, sister of TOWIE favourite Chloe. While she’s previously admitted sleeping with other women, Megan has yet to have a full relationship with one. But that could soon change, as she tells Closer, “I think Demi and I are really similar. We bonded because she was the first girl I could really talk to about liking girls, and she’s in the public eye too, so she gets it. We’re good friends, but we’ll see how it goes…

• The most effective way to stop cruelty is to refuse to take part. So, while on holiday, be sure not to visit marine parks or aquariums in the UK or overseas. • To support the team at PETA and bring an end to the suffering of animals held captive in marine parks, visit Peta.org.uk for more information. • A SeaWorld spokesperson said, “These are many of the same tired, false and misleading claims uninformed activists and disgruntled former employees have been repeating for years. Our animal welfare practices are accredited and reviewed by organizations such as American Humane, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums and the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, so any notion that SeaWorld abuses…

‘ I LOVE CATHERINE MORE THAN I EVER HAVE. HOPEFULLY THE FEELING IS MUTUAL’ They’ve endured some trying times throughout their 19-year marriage, announcing a shock split in 2013 before reconciling a year later, and even facing further reports of an impending divorce earlier this year. But Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas looked more loved-up than ever as they returned to her hometown in Wales last week. Proud Michael, 74, linked arms with his 49-year-old wife as she received a Freedom Of The City Of Swansea honour. They were joined by son Dylan, 18, while their daughter Carys, 16, remained in America studying. TIGHTER THAN EVER Their smitten display followed Michael recently revealing that they’re “tighter than ever” since working through their marital problems and reuniting in 2014, adding, “I…

‘I fell in love with Barack as a friend first’ TREAT YOURSELF AS A WORK IN PROGRESS One of the most useless questions an adult can ask a child is, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” As if growing up is finite. As if you become something and that’s the end. To me, that’s death. And if you’re not dead, then you should be working towards that next new opportunity. I am still making myself. We grow up with messages that tell us that if our skin is dark or our hips are wide, then we don’t belong. That is until someone dares to start telling that story differently. TAKE YOUR TIME IN RELATIONSHIPS You don’t learn about a partner right away, which is why I…

She celebrated turning 40 earlier this month with a Prosecco-fuelled party, surrounded by celebrity pals, before being whisked away on a dream trip to Las Vegas with her husband, Hugh Hanley. And Michelle Heaton – who is still riding high from the celebrations – insists that entering her 40s has given her a new lease of life. She tells Closer , “My birthday has been a blast. It was the first time Hugh and I have been away from the kids for longer than one night, and let’s just say we made the most of it – there was nookie in the afternoon!’ After a turbulent few years – which included traumatic surgeries to stave off her increased cancer risk – Michelle is clearly feeling confident and contented. She says,…

LOST: 5ST 2LBS ‘I love being an active mum’ Katie Clark, 47, a hairdresser from Suffolk, lost 5st 2lbs and now loves bike rides with her daughter Beau, 10. She says, “I lost over 4 1/2st in my twenties, going from 14st 3lbs to 9st 7lbs, but I stopped going to my Slimming Word group and slipped back into my old ways of eating the wrong things. When I met my partner Lee in 2011 my healthy habits went completely out the window. I was eating sugary cereals for breakfast, sandwiches, crisps and chocolate for lunch, and big pasta dinners with shop-bought sauce and cheesy garlic bread. I was bigger than I’d ever been. One day, when I took my daughter Beau to the park, I went on the slide…

How much do you spend per week? Around £60, and that includes the daily bread and milk run. I have four supermarkets all a few minutes away, so I head to whichever one I fancy on the day. Describe your daily diet… I have cereal and coffee for breakfast, and drink hot water and lemon throughout the day. For lunch, I’ll have either a cheese and tomato sandwich, or crackers with avocado and a banana. In the evenings, I like homemade spaghetti Bolognese, chicken fajitas, chicken or prawn stir-fry, or a homemade curry with brown rice. I snack on satsumas, almonds or biscuits if I’m feeling hormonal. Is there anything you refuse to eat? Liver. My husband (James Shepherd, with whom she has seven-year-old son Freddie) and my mum love…

ALL ABOUT YOU SOCIAL MEDIA CAN BE A FORCE FOR GOOD A new study shows that posting online can improve mental health and lower the risk of depression and anxiety, Emma explains After recently experiencing the most profound loss of my life, the sudden death of my beloved dad, I decided to post on social media. I received an outpouring of love, kindness and empathy. The messages I continue to wake up to genuinely help me to get out of bed, and shared stories of loss and coping remind me that I will be OK. Social media gets a bad rep, constantly being related to cyber bullying, eating disorders and mental health problems. But new research that focussed on adults (not students, like most studies) found it can improve mental…

HOW MUCH DANGER IS SEB IN? “He’s putting his life at risk because he’s messing with some dodgy people. When he sees Alina in this grimly furnished back room, it’s pretty clear this is a modern-day slavery situation.” WHAT WERE THE FIRST SCENES LIKE TO FILM? “I’ve enjoyed working on this storyline the most because it’s been a privilege to be trusted with a real issue like this, and the scripts have been intense. Seb is not a moody teenager any more.”…

Tell us about your character, Hannah. She’s 36, she lives in London and works in marketing. She’s not in a relationship when we meet her, and she’s feeling under quite a lot of pressure, in that most of the female friends in her life have coupled off, or they’re married and have kids. She’s really questioning that side of things – it’s an exploration of the pressures on women, in terms of what society might expect and attitudes towards motherhood. What’s your own experience of this expectation? It’s crazy how, when you’re a teenager or in your 20s, it’s drilled into you that getting pregnant is the worst thing that could happen. And then suddenly, when you hit your mid-thirties, the message is you’re running out of time, you’re going…

• Coleen Rooney leaves America for wild girls’ holiday and nights out in Manchester • Friends reveal she and Wayne are living increasingly ‘separate’ lives • Fears that she’s desperate to leave the US to be with family and friends She’s played the dutiful wife for over a decade, standing by husband Wayne Rooney through multiple cheating claims, and even relocating her life and putting thousands of miles between her and her loved ones after the family moved to Washington for his career. But after Coleen Rooney was spotted recently enjoying a wild girls’ holiday in Ibiza, a five-hour dinner back home in the UK with her mum, and a family day out with the kids in Legoland, insiders say the 32 year old has told her footballer husband she…

THE FIRST ROYAL TO HAVE A BABY SHOWER …and it was a pricey one. Held at New York’s prestigious The Mark Hotel, it reportedly cost £330,000, which included the £54k-a-night suite and a £95,000 private jet from London. Guests included her A-Lister pals Amal Clooney and Serena Williams – and the US media waited outside. PHOTO BAN AT WIMBLEDON Just days after it was revealed renovations at Meghan and Harry’s Frogmore Cottage had cost taxpayers £2.4m, Meghan caused a stir at Wimbledon after her bodyguards stepped in to prevent a spectator from seemingly taking pictures of her watching Serena in the ladies’ final – despite 12,000 other people being in the crowd and millions watching at home. It later transpired that the tennis fan was actually taking a selfie. Meghan’s…

BIGGEST GENTLEMAN When India was caught in the middle of the slanging match between Anna and Jordan, Ovie swooped in, took her by the hand and led her to safety. He also looked after pal Amber when she was heartbroken. FASHION ICON Chris brought a lot to the villa – most importantly, a silky floral kimono. He even lent it to Curtis during his night of passion at the hideaway with Maura. And he donned a towel hair-wrap post-shower, and slept in a hair net to keep his floppy locks in shape. Werk it. GIRL POWER HERO “Shut your mout’, you little p***k”, Maura growled after Jordan tried cracking on with India behind Anna’s back. Maura outed Jordan’s betrayal to her bestie, even though she knew it would upset her…

Ashton Collins (Saveface. co.uk) says, “You should really consider whether you actually need a cosmetic procedure. And if you visit a reputable practitioner and they refuse to treat you, it’s because they have your best interests in mind. Don’t pursue treatments with lots of providers, because there will always be an unscrupulous injector willing to exploit you, even when you aren’t suitable to be treated. If you have researched the treatments properly and want to go ahead, don’t be afraid to ask questions. Discuss your concerns and ask what products they use and what aftercare will be available. And don’t be afraid to walk away if you don’t feel comfortable.”…

He sparked outrage when he romanced both Casey Batchelor and Jasmine Waltz in Celebrity Big Brother 2014. But former Blue singer Lee Ryan shuns the idea that he’s a ladies’ man. “It really gets on my nerves when people think of me as a womaniser,” says dad-of- two Lee, 36. “On CBB I was talking to two girls – I should’ve gone on Love Island where that’s normal! Why did they demonise me so much? “I’m a father and a family man now, so I’m mostly with my kids or working, I’m not out clubbing!” Lee also had a very public spat in 2014 with his ex, Sammi Miller, who is mum to his ten-year-old son, Rayn. “It was very toxic. She made it public and made me look like…

Founder of the Whale Sanctuary Project, Lori Marino, 59, is building safe seaside sanctuaries for whales once held in concrete tanks. She says, “I studied animal neurology at university and discovered the orca’s brain is very complex. I started to think about what it would be like for such an intelligent animal to be stuck in a concrete tank, and I wanted to build a realistic solution to the problem. “Most whales currently in captivity cannot be released into the ocean because they lack the skills to survive. But that doesn’t mean they should continue to live in concrete tanks. “I founded the Whale Sanctuary Project to build permanent seaside sanctuaries for captive orcas and beluga whales. In captivity they lead shorter and more stressful lives than their free and…

For a while she was better known for her checkered relationship with Jude Law than she was for her acting work, but now life couldn't be more different for Sienna Miller. In 2003, long before she became the queen of boho fashion, the then virtually unknown actress landed roles in British films Layer Cake and Alfie. She met Jude Law on the latter – and everything changed. Their relationship made her a household name, and the couple were rarely out of the headlines. They looked set to go the distance when they got engaged at the end of 2004, but they split the following year when then father-of-three Jude publicly apologised for cheating with his children’s nanny, Daisy Wright. Sienna and Jude were on and off over the following years,…

Davinia at 41: ‘I’m so much happier now that I’ve lost weight’ She’s fought alcoholism and depression, but actress Davinia Taylor has revealed that her healthy new lifestyle has helped her cope with mental health battles – and she recently wowed fans on social media with her incredible bikini body. The mum-of-four has lost 3st over the past few years, slimming down from a size 16 to a size 8, and has kept it off with an intense exercise regime. Opening up alongside a recent Instagram pic of her body, Davinia, 41, said, “I used to hate walking past [this full-length mirror] when I was overweight, full of inflammation and water retention and totally depressed. Now I’m much happier, even when I’m full of PMT bloat.” Davinia says intermittent…

The first time she ever experienced a “terrifying” panic attack was two years ago while driving on a motorway. Fearne Cotton had been travelling with a friend in 2017, gossiping about Prince Harry’s engagement to Meghan Markle, when all of a sudden she began to feel very hot. Her chest tightened, she struggled to breathe and the world around her started spinning. She was half an hour from home and was unable to continue the rest of her journey. It was a turning point for Fearne, 37, who suffers from both depression and anxiety, and she decided to cut down on her workload, quitting Celebrity Juice and instead starting her own wellness podcast called Happy Place. Yet her battle is ongoing and still affects her day-to-day life. She says, “I…

MESSY MASH-UP Maisie Williams, 22 While we love Maisie, we’re not a fan of her latest look. Although it ticks off the clashing patterns trend, we can’t help but wish she’d embraced some brighter colours. Loving the pink hair, though! STUNNING SATIN Nicole Kidman, 52 Nicole commands attention on the red carpet for all the right reasons. We love the nod to the off-shoulder trend, while the waist bow adds a touch of drama and femininity. What a beauty! SERIOUS SEQUINS Paris Hilton, 38 Miss Hilton goes OTT with this sparkly number. With the chunky boots and lashings of accessories – including those crazy shades – we can’t help but think less would be more. Sorry, Paris.

DEALING WITH ANXIETY “I have anxiety and my little boy has it too. I’d like to think it’s not my fault, but he has it because he has a few health issues. We are learning as a family to be patient with it.” THE MENOPAUSE “For about a year, I’ve only got three or four hours sleep. It makes me tired, grumpy and want to eat more, so I’m awake at 3am eating carbs. I get very hot and irritable, too! My kids don’t understand the menopause, but they know Mummy gets tired, teary and hot sometimes, although Mummy is also really good fun too. I’ve never hidden anything from them.” MARRIAGE STRAINS “We’ve had dark times in our marriage. Rows aren’t the end of a relationship – without rows…

I spoke to drug expert David Nutt recently, and he thinks medical marijuana is likely to be the biggest medical development since the discovery of antibiotics. But we have to make the distinction between medical grade CBD (which is the active ingredient in cannabis derived from the hemp plant) and what you can buy in a health shop. LIMITED USES People claim CBD can cure everything from cancer to epilepsy, diabetes and arthritis – but we don’t have proof. We do for hard-to-treat forms of epilepsy, and it’s emerging for anxiety, but that’s about it. Lab tests that analysed high-street CBD oil products, on the other hand, found that more than half of the most popular ones don’t contain the level of CBD quoted on the label, and many contain…

PLAN YOUR ROUTE “Consider indirect flights – you might lose a couple of hours, but often the savings are worth it,” says John Ellmore, director at Knowyourmoney.co.uk, adding, “This works best for destinations outside of Europe.” For example, flying from London to Dubai can cost £1,844 direct for a family of four, but is £1,516 with a short stopover, saving £328. Before going, research transport options at the other end – are there buses that could take you from the airport, or is a taxi more cost-effective?
