Atomic Kitten tried… (and failed), to bring it home  Who’d have thought Atomic Kitten’s 2001 hit, Whole Again, would make a comeback as an England fans’ World Cup chant? One person who was left out of recording a remake was Kerry Katona, 37. Despite the mum-of-five appearing on the original track – she wasn’t included in a new version. Rubbing salt into the wound, Natasha Hamilton, 36, shared a snap of herself in the music studio with the caption, ‘Today was fun!’ Not long after, England lost the semi-final to Croatia, 2-1. Guess that’s karma for you! Louis got set to become a judge on The X Factor  Louis Tomlinson is rumoured to be joining this year’s X Factor as a judge. The singer, 26, first shot to fame on…

On the surface, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been the picture of happiness since they tied the knot back in May, with the Suits actress slotting into the royal family with ease. But, with Meghan’s relatives still causing trouble for the royals and the world scrutinising her every move, are Meghan and Harry crumbling under the pressure already? UNDER PRESSURE Meghan’s less-assured facial expression is mirrored closely by Harry here. Their hand clasp seems to be a tie sign that offers reassurance, but while Harry’s fingers are completely curled, some of hers are still held straight, suggesting she might feel under pressure to get everything right on their visit. CHECKING ON MEGHAN The way Harry is eye-scanning his wife’s face with one eyebrow slightly raised suggests that he’s…

Model Hailey Baldwin is officially one less lonely girl, after the 21-year-old’s boyfriend Justin Bieber popped the question. The singer, 24, announced the news last week on Instagram, gushing, ‘Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you! So committed to spending my life getting to know every part of you loving you patiently and kindly.’ It comes just two months after the duo rekindled their romance, and four months after Justin split from his long-term on/off girlfriend singer Selena Gomez. We wonder if she’ll get an invite to the big day?…

Brooklyn’s lovefest WHEN: 8 JULY WHERE: WIRELESS FESTIVAL, LONDON Brooklyn Beckham proved things were going just fine with latest girlfriend Lexy Panterra as the pair were spotted backstage at this year’s Wireless festival. It seems as though the couple had a great time as it’s claimed Brooklyn, 19, was knocking back the Prosecco and that he only had eyes for the 29-year-old singer. We bet he had a sore head in the morning! Danniella’s on a roll! WHEN: 10 JULY WHERE: ESSEX Danniella Westbrook must be in such a hurry to move home that she’s swapped holidays for house removals. The former soap star, 44, looked completely exhausted as she struggled to move a piece of carpet underlay out of her home in Essex, just days after she was hospitalised…

‘People get stressed out about it. But it’s just a game, so it’s not fair to judge’ Chatting to Scarlett Moffatt is always like catching up with an old friend, and when we bump into her in Evian’s VIP suite on the opening day of Wimbledon, it’s no different. As we yap away about everything from tennis to odd beauty tips to the moment Paul Danan left her starstruck, it’s easy to forget the 28-year-old has gone from sitting on a sofa watching the biggest shows on TV in Gogglebox to actually presenting them, following her I’m A Celeb win in 2016… Hi, Scarlett! You shot to fame watching telly on Gogglebox . What makes you cry on TV? I cry at those donkey adverts and all…

‘I was dreading being a bald bride’ Actress Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about losing her hair. Speaking candidly about her experience, the wife of Will Smith admitted she was terrified when she first realised clumps of her hair were falling out. ‘I was in the shower one day and had handfuls of hair in my hands and I was like, ‘Oh my god, am I going bald?’ she says. The Magic Mike XXL actress, 46, now keeps her hair cropped so that it looks thicker. She’s also admitted to using steroid injections, but says they are ‘helping, not curing’. Julia Jolley, 41, has battled hair loss, too. She was devastated when doctors told her she’d eventually go bald... ‘I first noticed I was losing my…

Do beauty the hippy- chick way, like Shailene! ECO-FRIENDLY BEAUTY  The time has come to become an eco beauty warrior. Since this year’s blanket ban on microbeads, the cry to save our oceans and environment has become even louder. From the hippy-chick likes of actress Shailene Woodley who makes her own toothpaste, body lotion and face oil, to the rise of vegan beauty, this year is all about going green, clean and environmentally friendly. Festivals got you reaching for the glitter pots? Make sure it’s biodegradable first! GET THE LOOK... 1.

1 It’s just not going anywhere You’ve been dating for a while – dinner, drinks, a movie – but that’s it, on a loop. He’s happy to meet up with you, but doesn’t suggest changing things up or moving the relationship forwards. Maybe he’s lazy, or maybe you’re being friend-zoned. Either way, he’s probably not the guy for you. 2 He doesn’t flirt with you If he’s not throwing in the odd cheeky, albeit cheesy, comment then he may just see you as a mate. 3 His body language is off When you’re at dinner you have plenty to chat about, but where is he looking? Intensely into your eyes? Amazing. At your boobs? Meh, we can work with that. At the girl on the table next to you? Darling,…

Her split from Liam Payne came as no surprise to most, and Cheryl Tweedy’s best friend Nicola Roberts asked an interesting question in the wake of their break-up: ‘Why can’t a man hold her down?’ Perhaps the answer to this is 35-year-old Cheryl’s fiery temperament, following numerous reports over the years of clashes with men and, of course, her infamous incident with a toilet attendant in 2003, when she punched Sophie Amogbokpa in the face. ‘I don’t trust anyone except my mother and my dogs’ Cheryl’s other best friend Kimberley Walsh has suggested Liam’s career – which saw him spend months out of the country last year – is to blame, following reports Cheryl would regularly get annoyed with him about it. A source previously said, ‘She knows she’s been…

It looks like Gemma Collins’ dreams of a becoming a mum could be coming true, after she showed off a rounder stomach during filming in Marbella last week. It’s no secret the 37-year-old and her boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent, 30, have been planning to start a family, and fans are speculating if Gemma – who underwent fertility treatment in December – will release a pregnancy spin-off show. So could the GC and Arg be hearing the pitterpatter of tiny feet soon? Only time will tell……

Megan Barton-Hanson has caused quite a stir during her time in the Love Island villa. Sought after by most of the men, it seems like she can have her pick of whoever she wants. After she toyed with Dr Alex George’s feelings, Megan moved on to Eyal Booker, before dumping him and setting her sights on Wes Nelson – who was already coupled up with her supposed friend in the villa, Laura Anderson. Viewers then saw the 24-year-old take Wes to one side, admit she fancied him and beg him for a kiss – all behind her friend’s back. Of course, it wasn’t long before Laura found out and the confrontation wasn’t pretty – with Megan being branded a slag. Megan has since admitted that this…

The guy you’re dating is lovely – and would make an amazing friend. Yep, you don’t want to rip his clothes off, but don’t want to lose him as a pal. What do you do? 1 Simply spending less time with him can slow down the intensity of your relationship. 2 Doing what you did before together, but in a group, changes the dynamic. 3 Instead of always seeing each other in person, try having catch-ups on the phone or via text. 4 Maybe just, you know, tell him. It’s scary and you don’t want to hurt his feelings, but as long as you’re honest, he shouldn’t take it too badly.…

LIAM PAYNE He looked like… THEN Boyish When Liam Payne had his first stab at fame, he was sporting a Justin Bieber-inspired hairstyle during The X Factor auditions back in 2008. NOW Manly Ten years on, the singer has ditched the fringe (along with his bandmates), and opted for the rugged skinhead look instead. Edgy!

I haven’t had bum lipo! I posted a ‘who wore it best’ snap of me and Kim K the other day in one of my outfits from So Monroe. Our outfits are so similar! We obviously both have very good taste! I actually did wear it first. I mean, I’m not saying that Kim K copied me but it just goes to show we like the same style and – for once – people can’t say I’m trying to copy her! It’s a massive compliment, of course, when people say we’re similar. I think she’s absolutely amazing but I’m not trying to be her. Yes, we both have big booties and we like a pout and a selfie but that’s about it really. One article misreported that I’ve had lipo…

Just this month Now’s body language expert Judi James told us they had ‘challenging times ahead’ after they were spotted looking very tense on an outing. And it looks like she was right, as after just five months together, Caroline Flack, 38, and Andrew Brady, 27, have called it quits. The pair – who got engaged in April – broke up last week. The Love Island host said, ‘I’m sad to announce that Andrew and I have decided to part ways. ‘At least there’s a Villa waiting for me. It’s back to the ol’ grafting.’ Better luck next time, Caz!…

Sophie Kasaei  Former Geordie Shore star Sophie appears to have gone back to school and got dressed in the maths stationery cupboard! Worthy of a detention… Kylie Minogue  Kylie might be head over heels in love at the moment but last week she looked suspiciously like she had taken a nose dive into the table of her local Thai restaurant and walked out wearing the tablecloth… Lottie Moss  We’re not sure what Lottie was thinking when she rolled out of bed to watch the tennis at Wimbledon. It’s a case of game, set, and match the grass for her satin number. It’s certainly…

Caroline Flack The Love Island host sparked surgery rumours last week when her face seemed puffier than usual on Love Island: Aftersun . Viewers took to Twitter to discuss the TV presenter’s ‘tight’ face with one saying, ‘Too much botox Caroline Flack??’ Another said, ‘How tight is cazza flacks Botox!’ A third even suggested she looked ‘prettier’ back in 2015 when the rebooted show hit our screens. ‘Stop with the Botox Caroline you’re ruining your face,’ they tweeted. It’s all speculation on Twitter, but Chief Medical Officer at Dr MediSpa, Dr Munir Somji, thinks that while the overall look is natural, she appears to have had Botox and veneers. Although she’s never directly confirmed or denied having surgery, the 38-year-old previously said she…

YES ‘We’re all equals, aren’t we?’ TOWIE star Courtney Green, 23, says: ‘I personally wouldn’t ask with marriage, but I have already asked someone to be my boyfriend in the past, so is it that different? I’m all for girls taking the lead and shooting their shot, but personally I would want a boy to propose to me, as I’d worry that I’d come across as too keen at that point. And imagine if he said no, my dreams would be shattered! But we’re all equals, aren’t we? I don’t feel it necessarily has to be the man’s job as such, so I’d say I’m on board with the idea of a woman proposing.’ NO ‘I’d worry he didn’t actually want to marry me’ Fellow TOWIE…

If we had to dish out an award for the decade’s most talked-about body part, Kylie Jenner’s lips are a worthy rival to sister Kim Kardashian’s booty. Rewind to 2015, when the star shocked the world with her dramatically plumper pout, before eventually admitting that it was thanks to lip fillers, not lipliner. Shock. But despite her lips helping to kick-start the KJ make-up empire, the new mum recently spoke out on Instagram about having the fillers removed, which was met with praise from her 110 million followers. So why is this such a big deal? According to author and behavioural expert Judi James, Kylie’s influence could help pave the way for girls accepting their natural beauty. ‘Removing the fillers seems like a drastic act because it’s now “the norm”…

Hi, darlings! This week, I want to talk about Mel B calling Louis Walsh out for smacking her bum in an old X Factor clip that has resurfaced. It’s never OK for a man to grab a woman in an intimate area in jest or not, but in this situation I do feel sorry for Louis because it certainly wasn’t sexually motivated. If anything, he was trying to include her in the conversation. The most important thing to mention is that this happens all the time and, as women, we have every right to kick off if we feel uncomfortable. Dear Nadia, My holiday romance wants me to go and see him in the place that we met. Should I go? N: You should absolutely go…

HEIGHT: 5ft WEIGHT: 7st 6lb DRESS SIZE: 4 Hi, Louise! Do you have a favourite way to exercise? I like to mix it up! I’ll do a home workout a couple of times a week, then probably a heavy weight gym session, but I also like reformer Pilates and yoga. What’s your fitness motivation? It’s the amazing impact it has on my emotional wellbeing. Fitness has really helped with my anxiety. I look at my past, and I realise I don’t want to be like that again. What’s on your gym playlist? [Laughs] Hardcore, aggressive rap and hip hop! Eminem has always been my weird secret crush, and Ryan [Louise’s boyfriend] and I love Giggs! The best bit of your body? Hmm, I’m not sure, but I guess my abs…
