Everyone’s favourite spy is back as the sultry Daniel Craig slips into 007’s tux again – and we’ve been on a mission to turn celebs into Bond girls (p35). Among them, Sinitta does a Grace Jones – crediting her daily 15-minute workouts for her rock-hard thighs and revealing she’d love to crush a man between them. Yikes! Meanwhile, Geordie Shore’s Vicky Pattison was shaken and stirred when she accidentally caught part of her skin in the zip of her super-tight latex catsuit and Amy Childs spent hours in the shower scrubbing off layers of gold paint. We hope you enjoy it – but, remember, it’s for your eyes only……

She transformed her image last year when she shed an amazing 2/2 st and slimmed from a size 16 to a slender size 8 – seeing her fitness DVD 3-Minute Belly Blitz become the best-selling workout DVD in 15 years. But last week, Charlotte Crosby revealed to Closer she’s still insecure about her size, admitting: “I still feel like a fat person. Despite the weight I’ve lost, that doesn’t leave you.” And despite looking incredible, Charlotte’s insecurities don’t stop there, as she’s also admitted she’s set to have a nose job in January. It’s something of a U-turn for the Geordie Shore star – despite having had lip fillers and Botox, she previously insisted she would wait before undergoing surgery, saying: “I’d probably wait until my late forties. I’d have…

Adele Ashton, media, libel and privacy lawyer at Slater and Gordon Lawyers, says: “Mr Justice Flaux’s ruling that Peter Andre fabricated evidence in a case between ITV2 and a producer may come back to bite him in the legal case brought against him by his ex-wife Katie Price. Cases can often turn during a trial based on a judge’s view of a person’s evidence. As Peter has been found to be an unreliable witness in the ITV2 case, it is likely this will be used against him by Katie’s lawyers during the trial of her legal case.”…

After repairing his friendship with Kerry earlier this year, Brian McFadden tells us he’s helping his ex-wife and their children cope with the fallout of her marriage break-up. The singer, 35, says: “I had our girls Molly and Lilly recently, so I’ve been at Kerry’s house. I wouldn’t say I’m her rock but I’m there for her when she needs me. “I called her as soon as it all came out about the split. I’ve been taking our daughters out to give her a break and offered to take her other kids for a bit too. She’s obviously upset but she’s getting on with it.” He adds: “Molly and Lilly are so resilient with everything.” And Brian – who praised George on Twitter in June, writing, “Thanks for keeping our…

Following a TV appearance last week, Jennifer Ellison was attacked online for her weight, making it the third time she’s been targeted by trolls after having a baby. But the 32-year-old mum of three, who was cruelly branded “ugly,” has insisted she won’t bow to pressure from the bullies and isn’t worried about being 14st. PRIORITIES Last week Jennifer, who had her third son Charlie with boxer husband Rob Tickle, 35, in September last year, hit back: “What I look like is not a priority. My husband still looks at me the way he did when I was 9st. He thinks I’m the sexiest woman in the world. So I’m not worried, because he finds me as attractive as he always did and loves my bum and boobs.” And the…

Closer’s psychologist Emma Kenny says: “It’s shocking when we hear of female teachers having affairs with pupils, because we think of women as nurturing – but also it’s hard to understand why they’d risk everything. But these women are sometimes arrogant and controlling – they believe they’ll get away with it, either by hiding it or playing on the stereotype of being caring, in order to avoid punishment. Some women thrive on the vulnerability of young boys and enjoy exerting control over them. They use flattery and false sensitivity to engender themselves to victims. Their victims may feel humiliated when the abuse ends and find it hard to trust women – and even girls their own age – because of the fear they’ll turn into a predator too.”…

Last week, Chris Evans claimed marriage didn’t work after interviewing a counsellor and a sex therapist for his new book about embracing middle age, saying it was “weird” and “outdated” as a concept. I think that’s rubbish and I bet he’s in the doghouse with his current – and third – wife [Natasha Shishmanian] for saying it. And besides, recent statistics show there’s been a rise in couples tying the knot and the divorce rate is 20 per cent lower than a decade ago. I’ve been married to TV producer Mark Adderley for 13 years and he’s a wonderful husband. Marriage isn’t outdated – it’s a wonderful thing, but anyone who thinks marriage doesn’t involve hard work is immature or just in the first bursts of youthful love. Yes, there’ll…

She’s known to millions of fans as the sassy country singer from TV show Nashville, and is often pictured out looking happy and relaxed with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko. But last week, new mum Hayden Panettiere’s spokesperson revealed she was “voluntarily seeking professional help at a treatment centre for postpartum [postnatal] depression” and insiders say Hayden, 26, was pushed close to breaking point. The actress, who’s had to take a break from filming TV drama Nashville – where coincidentally her character is also suffering from postnatal depression – gave birth to daughter Kaya in December last year. A source says: “Recently, Hayden had been feeling so low she could barely get out of bed and spent most days crying. Work became too much for her – she felt unable to cope…

She was just 13 when she released her debut single Blue and a string of hits, including Can’t Fight The Moonlight and How Do I Live has made her one of the world’s best-selling female country music artists. Now 33, LeAnn Rimes has sold 44m albums – amassing a multimillion-dollar fortune – and her latest album is set for release next week. But despite her huge success, the singer has experienced her share of highs and lows. Three years ago, she checked into rehab for a month to deal with “anxiety and stress,” triggered by the backlash she received for her affair with actor Eddie Cibrian, who she is now married to. She was also forced to deny rumours she had an eating disorder after dropping to a rumoured size…

In heartbreaking scenes due to be screened next month, Emmerdale vicar Ashley Thomas (John Middleton), 56, discovers he has dementia – a debilitating syndrome that causes the brain to gradually shut down. Sufferers experience severe memory loss and confusion and the condition can dramatically shorten life expectancy. According to the Alzheimer’s Society, there are around 800,000 people in the UK with dementia. One in three people over 65 develop the condition and two thirds are women. Closer speaks to Louise Bottrill about the heartache of gradually losing her mum, who was diagnosed at just 29. ‘Watching mumsuffer is heart breaking–I feel like I’ve already lost her’ Louise Bottrill was two when her mum Zoe was diagnosed with early on-set dementia – shockingly aged just 29. The condition usually affects people…

HIGH-STREET HEELS “I’ve got quite a few pairs of designer shoes – not that they’re any more comfortable! I always end up wearing my black River Island heels that cost £40!” FINISHING TOUCH “Scarves pep up an outfit – I have a mix of high street and vintage.” COVETABLE CLUTCH “I splurged on this little Louboutin studded clutch – it cost a fortune [from Cricket]. I’ve only used it twice because it’s a bit heavy and a bit posy.” Approx £1,000, Christian Louboutin RED ALERT! “This is my once-white Hervé Léger dress. The stitching is a bit of a tell-tale sign though.” Approx £1,200, Hervé Léger…

Some health problems are harder to spot than others – even for us experts. If you have a recurrent health problem that’s just not going away, help your doctor by doing some research. I always ask “what do you think it is?” because it’s important to understand people’s fears. Keep a symptoms diary – you’ll see if your problems are related to food and mood and it’ll help you to see patterns. Here’s my guide to some of the hardest-to-spot conditions… LYME DISEASE This bacterial infection spread by a tick bite mimics lots of other things. The classic sign is a bullseye rash with a red ring around it, but around one in three don’t get this, so the condition could be mistaken for flu due to symptoms of fatigue,…

TV Q&A CLAIRE GOOSE: ‘I DON’T REGRET BEING A PIN-UP GIRL’ Former Casualty star Claire Goose, 40, stars in gripping new ITV crime drama Unforgotten. She talks blind dates and baking… Unforgotten is about a murder that happened 39 years ago and, we have to confess, we’re glued! It’s about relationships and secrets and how well you really know people. It focuses on the lives of four potential suspects, who are all much older now and have been living with several huge lies. I play Ellie Greaves, whose father Robert – a priest – is one of the suspects. Basically, he’s lied to his family all their lives, which makes them question who he is. What is Ellie like? She idolises her daddy. When the secrets are revealed…

Keeping Up With The Kardashians capitalises on the famous reality clan’s seemingly endless stream of drama. But last week events took a tragic turn as the family suffered heartbreak that not even they would want scripted for their show. Last week, Khloe Kardashian’s ex Lamar Odom was found unconscious after reportedly taking 10 herbal viagra pills and suffering heart failure during a four-day bender at a Nevada brothel. It was reported the star had “every drug imaginable” – including cocaine – in his system. Reports later claimed that Lamar, 35, was “irate and inconsolable” after a phone call last Sunday detailing how he would be portrayed in an upcoming episode of the reality show. BEDSIDE VIGIL Now insiders reveal to Closer that Khloe – who had been keeping a bedside…

TOWIE’s Chloe Sims is no stranger to surgery, having had two boob jobs, bottom-boosting injections, lip fillers and teeth veneers. But the 32-year-old - who has 10-year-old daughter Madison – advises young reality stars to try to accept their looks. Chloe says: “I thought surgery was the way to feel confident. I also found the Twitter trolls hurtful when I first found fame five years ago, but I’ve learnt there’s more to being beautiful than looks. I’ve seen people take surgery too far and you end up looking worse than when you started. I still have 34EE breast implants and have considered taking them out, but I’ve now ruled out more surgery and no longer have lip fillers. The hate us reality stars get on Twitter can be hard, but…

She proudly flaunted her bump in a bikini on a family break to Barbados last week, soaking up the sunshine with young sons Kai, four, and Klay, two. And insiders say six months pregnant Coleen Rooney – who is expecting her third child with husband Wayne in January – has been sticking to regular workouts with her trainer and a healthy diet to keep up her energy levels. A source reveals: “Coleen really wanted to stay active during this pregnancy. It’s not easy being pregnant and looking after two young children, so she’s been working out with a trainer four times a week to keep up her energy levels. She loves doing pregnancy yoga and gentle workouts using light weights. She’s sticking to a healthy diet of wholegrain carbs and…

She’s had an emotional time recently, with fans becoming increasingly concerned by her shrinking frame. But last week Cheryl Fernandez-Versini looked happier and healthier than she has in months. The X Factor judge was all smiles as she attended her presenter pals Ant and Dec’s joint 40th birthday in London with her supportive husband Jean Bernard by her side, and insiders say Cheryl feels she’s back on track. A source says: “Cheryl has turned a corner in terms of her emotional wellbeing – she’s been so stressed out and was feeling low. But she got to a point where she decided that although she couldn’t control what happens to her, she can control her reaction. She’s determined to stop letting negative things affect her and focus only on the positives.…

Her first audition left Simon Cowell feeling hot under the collar after she crawled over his desk and treated him to a raunchy dance, and Bupsi Brown will no doubt be full of surprises when she performs for Simon and guest mentor Louis Tomlinson this weekend. Admitting she’s “a bit nuts,” Bupsi says: “I’m a stunt woman, you can get me jumping off speakers or doing crazy stuff. I’m fearless and I like to entertain people.” And Bupsi, 37, admits that with her fiery nature, she’s aware she’ll divide opinion among the contestants. “I know not everyone will like me – that’s life,” she says. “But if someone’s not feeling me I’ll work on them so that, by the end of the day, they’ll want to give me a hug!”…

She sparked speculation she’d had plastic surgery a year ago after being pictured with wider eyes, bigger lips and a super-smooth complexion – but insiders say Renée Zellweger has tried to reverse any signs of cosmetic work as she reprises the role of Bridget Jones. Last week, Renée, 46 – who had denied surgery rumours – looked back to her natural self as she was spotted filming scenes for the third instalment of the movie franchise, Bridget Jones’s Baby, (set for release in September next year) around London. TRANSFORMATION And top surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe believes Renée has made a conscious effort to scale back on cosmetic work to help give her a more natural appearance. Mark says: “Renée has a lot more lines now, which could be down to her…

“I’M LUCKY I AVOID THE DREADED SCHOOL RUN... my kids (Maddy, 12, and Kiki, seven) are home-schooled so I don’t have a hectic morning. I usually get up around 9am, unless I’m filming Lorraine or Loose Women , then it’s around 5.45am. I READ ALL THE PAPERS in my car to the studio if I’m filming Loose Women . I make a list about what I find interesting or fiery topics to debate, then I go into hair and make-up for an hour before a rehearsal. I look so rough before the slap – people at the door don’t recognise me! AFTER FILMING, I like visiting a museum with the kids or doing maths with them on a walk. It’s great to do something different with them. I USUALLY HAVE…

When I discovered I was pregnant I was thrilled, as was my partner Nick, 28. My pregnancy went well and I couldn’t wait to meet my baby. But I had a difficult labour and Roman was whisked away with a suspected infection so I only got to hold him briefly. Hours later, when I finally got to see him, I’d expected to feel a bond but I didn’t feel Roman was mine. It was devastating. BABY BLUES I put it down to exhaustion but things didn’t improve at home. I was convinced I was doing it all wrong and I felt detached. When Roman was 10 days old, the health visitor said I had the baby blues and not to worry. I didn’t feel I could confide in anyone. I…

There's been widespread speculation that LeAnn has been under the knife, but she has always kept quiet – until now. She admits to Closer : “I have had a breast augmentation [a breast enlargement] – I have never talked about it before, but I did have it done and I won’t lie about it. It’s something I had done a while ago. I used to have really big boobs when I was little and when I lost weight it was the first thing that went, so I said to myself: ‘I want my boobs back.’ “Every time a woman loses weight, they lose it from their boobs. When I was 15, I had DD-cup boobs – and I didn’t want those back – but I wanted to look like a…

She’s used to showcasing her curves in skimpy sequin numbers on the Strictly dance floor and Kristina Rihanoff sets temperatures racing on our Closer shoot – flaunting her dancer body in a skimpy white bikini as Ursula Andress’ idolised Bond girl. Recreating Honey Ryder’s famous pose from 1962 film Dr No, Kristina says: “The image of Ursula has stuck in my head because it’s such a classic look. I think she’s naturally beautiful and she portrays an image of a strong woman who appeals to both men and ladies. I very much like her look as she has a timeless and effortless beauty.” The 38-year-old smiles: “Bond girls are so sexy – and just as glamorous as Strictly stars! As a dancer, it’s important for me to keep my body…

Pulling a wig over her curls and showcasing her gym-honed size 8 body in a leotard, Sinitta is the embodiment of Grace Jones as the infamous May Day – from A View To Kill . And the singer tells Closer she’s always dreamed of being a Bond girl, gushing: “What girl wouldn’t want to be? I’d sign myself up tomorrow if I could. What would be my secret weapon? I’d crush men with my rock hard thighs, of course!” But the star insists her pal Simon Cowell wouldn’t make a fitting Bond, laughing that he’s become soft since becoming a dad to son Eric, 20 months. She says: “Simon’s too soft now he’s a father. I’ve always called him Silly Simon, but before Eric people thought he was so mean.…

Her first baby is due in just three months and Sam Faiers tells Closerthat being an auntie to her sister Billie’s 15-month-old daughter Nelly has prepared her for motherhood. She says: “I’m not nervous about the labour or having a baby because I’ve been with Billie through every step of the process. I was even in the delivery room when she gave birth and I have such a close bond with Nelly, so I know how to change nappies and do the feeds. I adore being an auntie and it’s amazing to watch her grow up. People always ask me if I want a girl because of Nelly, but Paul and I just want a healthy baby. That’s all that matters.” A GOOD BALANCE And Sam insists becoming first-time parents…

THE MOVES Size 10 Geogia says she wasn’t body confident when she joined TOWIE . She says: “I didn’t feel great – I wasn’t exercising much and I pigged out a lot.” Now the star, who lost a stone in five weeks last year, spends an hour in the gym each day doing cardio, squats and weights. But she’s determined not to lose her curves. She says: “I’ve kept my hourglass shape – I’d never want to lose that.” THE FOOD The star, 24, says she’s failed with “fad diets” and used to overeat. She says: “I used to eat quickly. I couldn’t tell when I was full. I’ve realised it’s about enjoying food without distractions.” For breakfast, she’ll have peanut butter on toast, then a tuna sandwich for lunch.…

We’ve all felt the pain of rejection, whether it’s being dumped by the guy you thought was The One or finding out your friend at work has been promoted over you. Rejection is painful and inevitable, but can be turned into a positive and character-building experience if handled correctly – after all, the most successful people on the planet have all been rejected many times before striking gold. They use their self-belief to keep going and eventually reap the rewards. Here’s how you can do the same… BOUNCE BACK! DON’T RUMINATE! Instead of obsessing about what’s gone wrong, concentrate on PANIC, ALL IS NOT what’s right and the things you can change. Resentment and bitterness slow you down. REFRAME SITUATIONS.

Last seen playing psycho Kirsty Soames in Corrie – followed by a stint on Strictly – actress Natalie Gumede has landed a starring role in ITV biggie Jekyll And Hyde – which hits our screens this week. The 10-part adventure, filmed in Sri Lanka, is based on the classic 1886 tale, but has been modernised (a bit); now set in glamorous 1930s London. Natalie plays the brassy, bolshy drinking hall boss Bella, and she reveals it took a lot of work to get her looking the part. “Hair and make-up took two hours, and if there was an early call I had to be up by 4.30am,” she tells us. “To make Bella’s hair look realistic they had to make two hair-pieces for me to wear.” And Natalie loved her…

I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER SLASHER CLASSIC SAT 24 OCT, 10PM, BBC3 The all-star cast of Jennifer Love Hewitt et al sees a group of high-school kids terrorised by a mystery stalker after they cover up a hit and run they were involved in. This is also the film where Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar met. (Cute!) KNOCKED UP SETH ROGEN AT HIS BEST SUN 25 OCT, 10PM, ITV2 Super-sensible Alison (Katherine Heigl) finds herself “knocked up” after an unfortunate one-night stand with the not-so-suitable baby daddy Ben (Seth Rogen). Cue complete panic, followed by a most-entertaining nine months we’re sure many first-time parents can relate to. Come on, boys, admit it – we all know you’ve been freaked out at the idea of rumpy-pumpy with…

Amid the tragic revelations that Lamar Odom was fighting for his life last week, it was reported Scott Disick – who’s battled issues with alcohol and prescription drugs – had checked into rehab after visiting his former brother-in-law in hospital. Scott’s nine-year relationship with Kourtney ended in July after she grew tired of his partying. But despite multiple failed stints in rehab, pals say Scott believes Lamar’s situation has given him the motivation to sort himself out. A source says: “Scott relates to some of Lamar’s troubles, but doesn’t want to go down the same path. He’s saying it’s given him the wake-up call he needed.” Scott, 32 – dad to Mason, five, Penelope, three, and Reign, 10 months, with Kourtney – spiralled out of control last year after his…

He’s built a career on his clean-cut image, but last week, Peter Andre’s reputation suffered a devastating blow when he was branded a liar by a High Court judge and accused of being “not truthful” when he appeared as a witness during a legal case between TV producer Neville Hendricks and ITV2. DAMAGED REPUTATION The Strictly star was accused of fabricating claims made in court this summer that his manager Claire Powell had received death threats from her former boyfriend Neville. The judge deemed Peter “an extremely unsatisfactory witness,” adding: “I am quite satisfied that no death threats were ever made by Mr Hendricks against Miss Powell or against anyone else.” As a result of the case, it was reported ITV2 had to pay Neville’s company £4m in damages. Pals…

She hit rock bottom two weeks ago when she was forced to end her volatile one-year marriage to third husband George Kay, following reports he’d been arrested on suspicion of assaulting her and being in possession of a Taser. And as she struggles to piece her life back together, Kerry Katona, 35, was dealt another blow last week when it was claimed George, also 35, had been secretly messaging 22-year-old Russian model Alena Shishkova. George was said to have sent Alena a string of messages in the past six months, even referring to her as “darling.” There’s no suggestion the pair ever met, but sources say the rumours have floored an already fragile Kerry. A source reveals: “Kerry was devastated when she saw the reports about George. She can barely…

She received a standing ovation after her first audition, with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini even admitting she’d love to coach her. But 18-year-old Kiera Weathers reveals she couldn’t be happier about having Rita Ora as her mentor. She says: “Rita is amazing; she’s like one of the girls. She sat us down and told us her story about how she made it in the industry. She’s so real and genuinely wants the best for us all. She’s even been sharing her beauty secrets with us too and telling us what products she uses. I told her I can’t believe she goes to Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s house for dinner and she just laughed.” Meanwhile the aspiring singer – who’s determined to impress Rita and guest judge Meghan Trainor at Judges’ Houses – says…

He blew the judges away with his unique sense of style and four-inch heels at his first audition – and even made judge Rita Ora cry with his powerful rendition of Queen song The Show Must Go On . And 24-year-old Australian singer Seann Miley Moore reveals he’s still overwhelmed by the reaction to his show-stopping performance. He says: “I keep watching it over and over and sobbing, I was so happy and proud. That moment was three years of studying in theatre school and two years of saving money to get on a plane to put myself out there.” The eccentric singer has already won a legion of fans with his flamboyant style and reveals he’d love to see his fellow contestants in heels. He has yet to wow…

Anna*, 41, from Newbury in Berkshire, had an affair with a pupil which started when he was 15 and she was a 27-year-old drama teacher. Shockingly, she has no regrets and says: ‘I first noticed Keiran* because of his talent at drama and it was only when I met him at a friend’s party that I saw him differently. We chatted all evening – the chemistry between us was amazing and he seemed very grown up. “I was tipsy and invited him to my flat, where we had sex. He was a virgin, but very good in bed. I didn’t think about him being one of my pupils. Because I met him out of school and he wasn’t in uniform, he just seemed like a younger guy. “He stayed the…

BRIDGET JONES’S DIARY – 2001 Renée famously embarked on a 4,000-calorie-a-day diet to pile on 2st, going from a size 6 to a size 12 in just a few months for her role as curvy Bridget. The star reportedly started her day with a Big Mac and large fries, snacking on savoury scones and milkshakes, sugary doughnuts and slices of pizza, alongside carb-heavy meals. Once filming finished, Renée embraced two-hour daily workouts and a 1,600-calorie diet of fish and raw vegetables to slim back down to her pre-Bridget body in a matter of months. BRIDGET JONES: THE EDGE OF REASON – 2004 Three years later, Renée reprised her role – again bulking up her tiny frame with a high-calorie diet. Speaking in 2007 about the possibility of putting on weight…

BELIEVE IN MIRACLES Like any parents, Erika and Stephen Jones wanted to take hundreds of photos of their newborn daughter. But their determination to chronicle her first few days was for more than simple posterity. Abigail had been diagnosed with Down’s Syndrome and catastrophically an apparently inoperable brain cancer while still in the womb, and the couple started planning her funeral before she was even born. After her birth in August, an MRI scan confirmed the tumour and a doctor told them to take her home and “cover her in love.” “I was just praying for moments, because we didn’t know how long she was going to live,” says Stephen, from Florida. Despite being told to expect her condition to deteriorate, the couple – already parents to Audrey, two –…

She’s known for her feisty nature – so Vicky Pattison couldn’t wait to channel Bond girl Wai Lin from Tomorrow Never Dies . Pouring herself into the Latex catsuit made famous by Michelle Yeoh in the film, Vicky laughs: “Bond girls are like Geordie lasses – completely deadly. They’ve both got fiery tempers and a licence to thrill! “I love strong women – like Rihanna. I’m a huge fan of hers. I’d love us to team up in our matching catsuits and take on the baddies! We’d have bazookas and throw fireballs at our enemies. The world couldn’t handle us!” Vicky, 27, admits she’s feeling a lot more confident about her body after having her boobs enlarged from a 32B to a 32D last year. “My breasts were like two…

Everyone's talking about the chemistry between you two… Jay: I'm enjoying the chemistry! Aliona: We get on so well and he cracks jokes. J: Aliona is so funny. I've found myself laughing more than I have in a long time. Jay, there are rumours you have a secret girlfriend... J: No. Strictly is my main love. A: Yes, she is the mistress! Did you hope you’d be teamed up with one another? A: I always wanted to be paired with Jay. He was my No. 1 choice. J: (Laughs) She's got bad taste! A: He seemed such a sweet guy and I could see he has so much potential. I knew we'd get on. Jay, you caused controversy recently when it emerged you studied dance as a teenager. Does that…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Amy Schumer vs Kris Jenner They’re an unlikely pair – with a 25-year age gap – but comic Amy and the reality queen both took a fancy to this monochrome Balmain dress. While the Trainwreck actress opts for a neat updo and peep-toe heels, Kris goes for strappy sandals and an oversized coat. VERDICT Kris’ extra-low cleavage is a bit OTT – making Amy the victor this time. STYLE CRUSH! TRUE ROMANCE Sienna Miller, 33 Peasant dresses have a tendency to look a tad frumpy, but trust Sienna to pull off this beautifully boho gown by Michael Kors, with her trademark tousled bob and natural-looking make-up.

My style goes from one extreme to the other! I’m either red-carpet ready or in my slob clothes. Comfort is everything to me. I love the way Kendall Jenner dresses, she’s sleek and classy. My bottom is like Kim Kardashian’s, though – not quite as huge, but it means most of my dresses need altering. I’ve just discovered H&M’s Conscious range – it’s such good quality and really good prices. I’ve bought loads. Other than that, I like ASOS because it’s so convenient.

We carried on the party…

Fitness is a way of life for Rachel, whose uncle is Olympic sprint champ Linford Christie.

FORMER PUSSYCAT DOLL KIMBERLY WYATT, 33 What’s your worst habit? Losing my mobile. It usually turns up in the bottom of SARAH: “DON the pram or in a nappy bag. When did you last say I love you? Today, to my 10-month-old daughter, Willow. I took her to her first swimming class. If you were an animal, what would you be? A horse because they’re wild and free. Describe yourself.
