Gemma stripped The GC looked like she was living her best life last week when she recreated the most iconic poses of selfie queen Kim Kardashian. The TOWIE star wore only her fake tan to promote a new mobile phone and captioned them, ‘Thanks to @htc_uk for helping me transform into my I.C.O.N Kimmie @kimkardashian, ‘GC-style’ – dreams can come true. The selfies were taken on the HTC U12+, because all four of its cameras are stunners – no lie!’ There’s no stopping Gem – unlike the bright white edge of the door, which seems to end at her shoulder… Celebrity Big Brother got awkward Celebrity Big Brother got off to a dramatic start last week with the most explosive line-up yet – and previous rumours about Gabby…

With Ant McPartlin’s return to I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! 2018 ruled out as he continues his hiatus away from the spotlight, Now – like the rest of the nation – is keen to find out who will replace him. And, as we scratch our heads and ponder the fact that Dec without Ant is like bread without butter, we bump into Joel Dommett at a London bash and instantly can’t think of anyone better to step into Ant’s shoes. Not only does he have us laughing within seconds, he’s experienced at presenting and is a total hunk. But the comedian – who missed out on the crown to Scarlett Moffatt in 2016 but went on to present the sister show I’m a Celeb: Extra Camp in…

Messy Megs WHEN: 14 AUGUST WHERE: LONDON Just weeks after splitting from boyfriend Muggy Mike Thalassitis, it seems as though Megan McKenna has the perfect remedy to heal a broken heart. Get dolled up to the nines and get a few Pornstar Martinis down your throat – a girl after our very own heart! But, after seeing these snaps of Megs, 25, struggling to open her eyes as she threw out a few sassy poses to the paparazzi, it looks as though she may have had one too many. Oops!

‘They want to be on it – what can I do?’ Katie Price, 40, is mum to Harvey, 16, Junior, 13, Princess, 11, Jett, five, and four-year-old Bunny. ‘My kids have been brought up in the industry. All the kids are on Instagram these days, some are private, some are open. I said, “No, no, no” for ages, and then I said, “If you want Instagram, I’ll have your passwords and you don’t go on it on your own at all.” I have their passwords, I sign in and out, I block bad messages and comments, I’m in absolute full control. What can I do? They want to be on it, their friends are on it and I’m trying to make them normal at the same time. They’ve got to…

Having a baby will change your life – your mind, emotions, body, everything. Made In Chelsea ’s Binky, 28, is one celeb who’s spoken out about the impact of pregnancy on body image, admitting she was left feeling bigger and ‘disgusting’ after giving birth to daughter India. ‘The truth is, pregnancy does change you and you can’t escape it,’ says psychologist and author Susan Scott. ‘You are still there, but your sense of who you are and how you think about yourself would have altered – it’s what we call “identity transition” and is what has happened to Binky, with her physical attributes having been important to her identity.’ So how can new mums get back on track? ‘One way mums can make the transition to their new identity is…

Breakfast 200 cals Wholemeal toast and jam ASHTON SAYS: There is nothing wrong with toast or jam but there are much better breakfasts. You will feel hungry again quickly and it’s not a lot of food for the calories. Lunch 600 cals Bacon, chicken and avocado salad ASHTON SAYS: As far as salads go, this is pretty good. Lots of protein and obviously nutrients from the salad. However, be wary as this is high in fat and so can easily ramp up calories. Dinner 750 cals Garlic pulled pork with sweet potato ASHTON SAYS: Pulled pork tastes amazing, but often it’s because of the high-calorie sauces. These kinds of meals are OK in moderation, but control portion sizes. Snacks 0 cals None ASHTON SAYS: Snacks are a great way to…

Celebrity Big Brother is back and I can’t WAIT. I’m working with CBBÕ s official sponsor, Pink Casino, and will be doing lots with the company on social across the duration of the show. A job that involves watching one of my favourite shows? The dream! Haha. I don’t know what the latest is with Dan Osborne and Jacqueline Jossa but, together or not, it will probably be hard to watch him in there I’d have thought. Hopefully, he behaves respectfully and just makes her and their cute little family proud. After the rumours with Gabby, I’d be watching the pair of them like a hawk. I’m sure the nation will be anyway.…

They’re so on and off we can hardly keep up, but Caroline Flack is hoping it will be third time lucky as she reconciles with ex Andrew Brady after two public splits and a few rows. As we understand, it’s partly because she can’t bear to be alone. But last Monday, onlookers saw Caz storm out of the Market Cafe in London Fields after a tense argument which saw her rage at the former Apprentice star from across the crowded venue. Andrew is said to have told her, ‘You just wanted to be married, you never loved me.’ To which Caroline replied, ‘I do love you, I want to be with you.’ The onlooker revealed, ‘He was being really argumentative and she said, ‘You don’t need to be so aggressive,’…

SCARLETT MOFFATT  Having worked alongside Ant and Dec ever since she was crowned Queen of the Jungle in 2016, Scarlett, 28, would be an obvious choice. STEPHEN MULHERN  Stephen, 41, is a close friend of the TV duo and proved a big hit when he stepped in for Ant during the Saturday Night Takeaway final back in April. HOLLY WILLOUGHBY  A TV insider says, ‘Ant and Dec both love the This Morning host, 37, and she and Phil have backed Ant since his troubles. I’m sure they’d be thrilled if she got the job.’…

Being a celebrity has its perks, from free club entry and drinks to beauty products and fashion pieces, and it doesn’t stop there. Last week, reality TV star Olivia Attwood, who shot to fame on ITV2’s Love Island 2017, bagged £200,000 to star in the new series of Celebs Go Dating – a staggering amount to be paid to go on a few dates in the hope of finding love, and four times as much as the £50k prize money which was up for grabs for lasting a whole month in the Mallorcan villa. Olivia, 27, made it all the way to the final of the show after coupling up with Chris Hughes, but they missed out on the winnings, coming third behind fellow islanders Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay.…

Ever since Megan McKenna rose to fame in 2015 on MTV’s show Ex on the Beach, it’s been well known that she’s struggled with anger issues. In fact, the reality star even gave herself the nickname ‘Mental Megs’ after repeatedly losing control of her emotions in front of the camera. And in 2016, she was temporarily removed from the Celebrity Big Brother house when her temper got the better of her once more. At the time, Megan, 25, admitted that her rage was triggered after she was hurt in a previous relationship. She’s since revealed that losing her grandfather and being bullied at school also fed into her anger issues and admits she’s planning to book some anger management sessions when her…

FOR HIM 1 The testicle tingler  OK, so it’s not ideal if you’ve got hands like a goalkeeper and fingers as thick as a Cumberland sausage, but offer your man some gentle ‘muffing’ and he’ll do anything you want in return. Promise. (Though we don’t mean powerwash the patio or unblock the drains.) ‘Move a guy’s testicles and rub behind the scrotum – you’ll find a tight hole on either side to stroke,’ says Superdrug sex expert and ONE condoms ambassador Alix Fox. ‘This is also where some drag queens ‘tuck’ their balls to give a smooth look! Slowly insert a finger – this can provide a hole… ahem, whole new sensation.’ FOR YOU 2 The cervix stimulator  Feeling brave? ‘Lots of women are nervous about stimulating their cervix, because…

However, four months on the couple look loved up on a romantic break in Mexico, so what’s really going on?

Janet Jackson Is it trousers? Is it a skirt? No, it’s a parachute. Someone needs to tell Janet never to put this outfit together again ! Nicki Minaj Forget snakeskin, Anaconda hitmaker Nicki, 35, decided to rock head-to-toe Burberry print for her night out in New York. Macy Grey Let’s hope the singer-songwriter, 50, was careful when she stepped out in this floor-length, blanket-looking ensemble, otherwise her lyrics ‘Try to walk away and I stumble’ would be very fitting. Blac Chyna Instead of matching her boots with her bag, Chyna, 30, went head over heels with the red co-ords. Kesha Tik Tok singer Kesha might think she looks roar-some in this lion motif jumpsuit, but we think she needs to…

Kylie Jenner Kylie Jenner shocked the world last month when she revealed she’d had her infamous lip fillers removed. ‘I got rid of all my filler,’ she told a fan after they remarked that she looked like the ‘old Kylie’ in an Instagram snap. The bold move appeared to be the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star marking a new chapter, after the birth of her daughter Stormi with boyfriend Travis Scott. But just last week, Kylie’s lips looked noticeably bigger again at her 21st birthday party, sparking speculation that she’s had the filler put back in. Kylie denied she’d had lip fillers for years before finally coming clean in 2015 and admitting it was all because of something a boy said to her when she was 15. Katie Price…

Hi, darlings! So Liam Payne has already moved on with new girl Cairo Dwek, and I’m telling you Cheryl is going to feel crushed. All she ever wanted was the fairy tale, the husband and the kids, so to see Liam with some 20- year-old, who can’t even legally drink in America, will hurt her a lot. I do think Liam and Cheryl broke up before we knew about it, but it’s still very soon. I find it very tacky when people jump from relationship to relationship – it’s a bit cringe from Liam. Dear Nadia, I recently became single and am really enjoying having fun but I’ve got to ask – what’s the best way to get a one-night stand to leave ASAP the next morning? I hate how…

What motivates you to keep fit? I try on bikinis in front of the mirror. What’s your killer workout move?’ I don’t really workout, not in the gym, anyway – walking is my exercise. Do you have a favourite or least favourite body part? My least favourite is my back because it’s quite broad. My favourite is my bum. And is there a body part you struggle to keep in shape? When I struggle, I struggle overall – trying to keep the same dress size. Tell us your guilty food pleasure… Cheese and bread…

I needed that time. I’ve grown up in the public eye. I like that little bit of time out. Let them…

Losing my Ibiza virginity  I shot for my new lipstick range with JYY Cosmetics this week and I cannot wait for you to see the products and campaign images. I bloody love them. Mikey Phillips did my make-up and he is just the best. I’ve just booked a trip away to go and revive myself. Then I’m back for work and I’ve sorted a girlie holiday to Ibiza for September.
