Jade Thirlwall revealed her surgery plans  She’s one fourth of the world’s hottest girl band, but Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall has admitted she hasn’t always been so confident. Last week, the 25-year-old revealed how she vowed to get a nose job aged 18 after her nose was airbrushed in a photo shoot at the start of her career. ‘In one of our first magazine shoots we did, my nose was completely changed and my skin was whitened,’ she said in a social media post. ‘At 18, it gave me a complex and for years, I was determined to get a nose job. I was that ugly the magazine had to change my appearance, right? Wrong.’ Well, we think that you look beautiful, Jade! David got off and the public weren’t…

The couple once displayed highly tactile body language, with Orlando’s nude paddleboarding opposite her rather prim pose suggesting he was the one instigating it. Now we see a much more hands-off approach from him. Will this body-language role reversal make them more compatible? Orlando looks very dominant in some of these poses, while Katy clings on adoringly. But she’s a star in her own right, meaning the latest power swing in his favour could cause problems further down the road.…

Dan and Jac are back on track  Before he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in August, Dan Osborne and Jacqueline Jossa were on the verge of splitting, despite only being married a year. But absence clearly made the heart grow fonder, as Dan, 27, has confirmed to Now that they’ve reunited and things are better than ever. ‘Jacqueline and I are back together, and it’s going really well,’ he said. And 25-year-old Jac’s amazing new figure hasn’t gone unnoticed by Dan,either. ‘She’s been hitting the gym and she looks incredible,’ he said. ‘She’s been sticking to her diet and shakes and I’m happy to compliment her again. CBB made me appreciate my marriage more.’ Glad to hear it, Dan! Cara and Nathan’s dream holiday  Former Love Island stars Cara…

Nicki Minaj Ever tried to do the washing up at the same time as the laundry? Nicki, 35, has even got the sink plug and chain around her neck. A pair of Marigolds doesn’t help either. Nicola Roberts She might have sung ‘Jump, jump for my love’ in Girls Aloud but Nicola, 33, looks like she’s fallen through the top of a Hawaiian parasol. Kelly Brook Since she found a new love of gardening, Kelly, 38, seems to have taken her blooms a step too far when she dug out this dress. Flower power? Overpowering more like ... Lady Victoria Hervey Hmm… hate to say it but this outfit doesn’t exactly scream ‘lady’ like. What was Lady V, 41, thinking? The silly sausage looks like a piece of salami in…

Rochelle Humes Starting the day hosting Lorraine then going to a film premiere, Roch made the most of this colourful outfit. With over 13k Instagram likes, we weren’t her only fans. Megan McKenna Looking a bit more demure than we’re used to seeing her, Megan uses the street as her personal catwalk to promote her newly launched fashion label Studio Mouthy. Heidi Klum On paper, a dress with sequins, leopard print and a thigh-high split sounds OTT, but with a model bod and lust-worthy hair, Heidi pulls it off with ease. Emma Willis A tricky colour to pull off, the Big Brother host looks fab in this orange trouser suit. This two-piece looks way more expensive than its £110 price tag. Jessica…

THE SEXY FRINGE Winter is officially ‘fringe’ season. In summer, there’s too much sweat going on to keep them grease-free, but magic happens when you match them with a cosy polo neck and sultry smokey eyes, hello 70s siren! This year, it’s all about the sexy fringe, think Brigitte Bardot in the 60s, Sienna Miller in Alfie, and Camila Cabello right now. Ask for a long fringe, parted at the centre and graduated subtly into the longer lengths of your hair. For styling, keep it tousled and undone, you’ll need dry shampoo, a teasing brush and a light-hold hairspray. SAY YES TO CURLS In case you missed the memo, curls are back, and bigger and better than ever. We don’t mean those set-in-place Hollywood waves, but rather natural-looking tresses like…

Hello! Sharon Osbourne has said she and Ozzy only have sex on special occasions. Sometimes life gets in the w ay of sex, but (excuse the pun) the longer you leave it the harder it gets! A happy sex life is k ey to a good relationship and, without stating the obvious, the best w ay to have more sex is to have more sex! Research shows the more you have the more you want. Regular shared orgasms increase intimacy and boost both health and confidence. Ob viously, the longer you’ve been together the trickier getting the spark back can be. I’d recommend becoming a ‘try sexual’ and trying something new every month. A new position, toy or room can work wonders for your libido and r eally help to…

Hey, Alexandra! How do you like to keep fit? I’ve just joined a gym and I really like swimming – I do 100 lengths now. It originally took me just over an hour to swim but I want to get it down to 50 minutes. How do you motivate yourself to keep fit? I set myself goals, but the only reason I keep fit is so I can have a sneaky pizza on a Saturday! Give us a peek at your workout playlist… Pump It by Black Eyed Peas is number one. Their music is really high energy and inspires me to keep going. Are there any foods you stay away from? I am allergic to peanuts so I don’t eat them. I am also very mildly allergic to bananas…

THEN Anyone who grew up in the 80s will have had their heartstrings tugged by Henry Thomas as Elliott in ET The Extra-Terrestrial. The young boy became friends with a lovable alien stranded in California. NOW Henry stars in The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix (available from Friday), a modern take on Shirley Jackson’s 1950s novel about five siblings who grew up in America’s most haunted house. Reunited as adults, the suicide of their youngest sister forces them to confront the ghosts from their pasts.…

NIALL HORAN He looked like… THEN Baby face When he auditioned for The X Factor back in 2010, Niall was an adorable, fresh-faced 16-year-old with chubbier cheeks and mop of bleach-blond hair. NOW Chiselled chap Now all grown up at 25, Niall hasn’t totally lost his baby face, but he is rocking some facial hair and looks much better for it! He was saying… THEN  ‘I want to be like big names in the world like Beyoncé or Justin Bieber, I’ve been compared to him a few times.’ NOW  ‘I was so nervous at my audition, I ended up looking like a cocky little idiot.’ He was wearing… THEN Schoolboy casual In his first X Factor audition, Niall wore a checked shirt. In the early One…

I wasn’t selling Joey’s things!  I had such a good night out for my birthday on Saturday! I had all my hair done before by Secret Hair Extensions (secrethairextensions.co.uk) and I love it . I went to the King William IV in Chigwell with 20 of my mates and my dad. Then we went to Faces and danced the night away. It’s been picked up on that Joey’s sister was there – of course she was! She’s like family. The next day I spent in bed with my girls eating Pizza GoGo. There was speculation I was selling Joey’s belongings on Depop, but they were there from when he was selling them ages ago. I wouldn’t do something like that – not so publicly anyway! Leave David alone!  Poor David…

Kendall Jenner She’s one of the world’s top models, but it seems even Kendall Jenner can’t avoid being fat-shamed. The 22-year-old found herself at the centre of a media storm when she was called out for having cellulite on her thighs on a runway in 2014. So, the Keeping Up With The Kardashian star hit back at her critics in the best way possible by posting a sexy Insta-snap of her legs, before defiantly boasting about going for ice cream in Milan. Here she is on a beach in Malibu without a care in the world. Seriously, a girl after our own hearts… Charli XCX Charli XCX once confessed she’d rather eat pizza than go to the gym – and we’ve never loved her more. The…

‘We’d love to have a family’ Ant McPartlin and Anne-Marie Corbett’s romance is clearly going from strength to strength, and new pictures of Anne-Marie, 42, have left fans wondering whether they’ve got some good news to share. Dressed in a floral dress last week while she and Ant, 42, visited his TV sidekick Declan Donnelly on his birthday – fans were convinced that she was sporting a rounder tum. ‘Pregnant I see,’ one fan commented, while another added, ‘She looks pregnant.’ A third said, ‘She has a bun in the oven.’ Ant has been vocal in the past about his desire to start a family, but sadly, it never happened for him and his estranged wife, Lisa Armstrong, 41. Just last year, Ant said that he and Lisa would be…

When Liam met Ken WHEN: 23 SEPTEMBER WHERE: FOUR SEASONS HOTEL, MILAN As member of One Direction, Liam Payne is no stranger to having his own 12in doll figurine, but the singer looked a little taken aback when he bumped into the real, life-size Human Ken Doll – aka Rodrigo Alves – at the Dolce & Gabbana afterparty. Maybe Liam, 25, had been expecting to party with a Barbie Girl instead… Oops! She’s at the dentist [again] WHEN: 27 SEPTEMBER WHERE: LOS ANGELES Britney Spears returned to the dentist last week where it’s thought she spent four hours getting her tooth fixed. The Oops…I Did It Again hitmaker, 36, was spotted constantly licking her teeth – including one that was noticeably wonky and brighter than the…

‘Even in my 20s, I still looked like a teenager’ ‘Take a look at this photo. At first glance you probably think, like most people, that it’s a picture of a couple – probably in their late 20s, maybe early 30s at most. But the truth couldn’t be more different. You see, the man I’m posing with isn’t my partner – he’s my son. And, I’m 32 years his senior. Of course, at 56, I can’t help but get a little boost whenever someone thinks I’m young enough to be his girlfriend. But I owe my youthful appearance to my good genes – and my mum’s good advice. Growing up, back in the 1970s, when there wasn’t as much focus on clean eating, Mum still made sure I ate healthily…

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR SKIN  If the word ‘acid’ conjures up images of that episode of Sex and the City when Samantha emerged from a skin clinic after having a chemical peel looking rather red, then it’s time for a major rethink. These days, acids are the skincare superheroes of the beauty world and are anything but irritating. The newest formulas are so gentle, that they won’t leave your skin looking sore and inflamed – just glowing and gorgeous.…

We’re all for a high-intensity workout – it gets the blood pumping, the body moving and the endorphins flowing. Former TOWIE star Kate Wright, 27, is also a fan, regularly sharing her inspiring yet brutal workouts on Instagram. But she’s out of action right now thanks to a broken arm she sustained during a bleep test. So how do we keep ourselves safe during a hardcore workout? ‘Reduce risk of injury and focus on doing the basics well,’ advises performance coach Loui Fazakerley. Don’t panic if you’re a bit of a gym novice. Resistance machines ‘can be a good place to start as they have fixed ranges of motion which can help guide you through the correct movement’. Loui adds, ‘If you haven’t got any experience with free weights or…

‘BEING VULNERABLE IS ACTUALLY A STRENGTH, NOT A WEAKNESS’  Model Cara Delevingne, 26, speaking out about coping with mental health Why do we treat ourselves so much worse than those we love? We often criticise ourselves the hardest and hold this grudge for the longest. You wouldn’t judge your best friend for putting on a few pounds or losing her job, you should treat yourself the same way. We should all practise self-compassion... Step 1: Try not to judge It’s a harsh truth, but failing is an inevitable part of life – and the sooner we learn that it’s OK, the better. ‘Give yourself permission to make a mistake,’ says author and psychologist Susan Scott. Instead of being angry, we should try to accept what’s happening to us. Step 2:…

Breakfast 400 cals Poached eggs with a homemade avocado, spinach, kale, banana and blueberry smoothie ASHTON SAYS: This smoothie has a good blend of nutrients and the calories are good. Lunch 850 cals Fish and chips ASHTON SAYS: Fish and chips from a shop and fish and chips made at home are vastly different in calories. Making this at home would mean it’s far healthier. Dinner 550 cals Homemade Shepherd’s Pie ASHTON SAYS: It’s good that this isn’t shop-bought as foods like this are best homemade; you can control what goes in and always be aware of your portion sizes.

Paul Strank Charitable Trust Gala WHEN: 22 SEPTEMBER WHERE: BANK OF ENGLAND CLUB, LONDON A whole host of stars came together for the Paul Strank annual fundraiser in aid of the Charitable Trust as it celebrates its eighth year. EastEnders actors Danny Dyer and Jake Wood looked suitably dapper, while TOWIE’s Chloe Sims and former MIC star Georgia Toffolo dazzled in glittery and psychedelic patterned numbers. Former TOWIE star Jess Wright rocked up in a pretty polka-dot dress, while Kerry Katona couldn’t resist showing off her streamlined figure. What a night! amfAR Gala WHEN: 22 SEPTEMBER WHERE: MILAN, ITALY To mark the end of Milan Fashion Week, models and celebs attended the supporting AIDS…

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom’s latest PDA at the Gala for the Global Ocean in Monte Carlo hasn’t caused shockwaves like The Pirates of the Caribbean star’s nude paddleboarding pictures from 2016, but it’s still a milestone, as it’s the pair’s first red carpet together. Judi James delves behind the scenes. LOOK AT ME Orlando’s pose is a little alpha-arrogant here, with his weight on the right hip and right hand in his pocket in a confident stance. His left hand is splayed across his stomach in a ‘look at me’ gesture, while Katy is tucked in behind him, clutching his arm like a surrendered bride. HANDS OFF!  This body language is totally odd. The couple seem to be taking a mirrored hands-off approach to signal exaggeratedly good behaviour, but…

Gemma Collins and James ‘Arg’ Argent’s relationship has been far from plain sailing since they rekindled their romance earlier this year. But after getting back together this summer, the couple seem to be happier than ever. And their close pal, The Only Way Is Essex star Chloe Sims tells us they’re taking things seriously. ‘They seem in a better place,’ says Chloe. ‘It’s been a bumpy road, but I recently met up with Arg and they’re both happy. They might actually take that step now and move in together.’ Although Chloe, 35, is happy to ‘gossip’ with The GC about her romance, she isn’t so keen on taking advice. Instead, the reality star – who has signed up to find love on E4’s Celebs Go Dating – prefers to make…

‘There was an audible crack... I’d done it’ ‘As my mate wiggled what was left of her little finger, I giggled. ‘It looks cute!’ I told her. It was 2007 and she’d lost her finger in an accident, and I was trying to reassure her. But deep down, I actually did like it – I even felt a little jealous of her pinky stump. Maybe I should chop my own little finger off? I thought. I’d always been a fan of body modification. I’d got my first piercing at eight years old and a tattoo at 18. To me, the idea of chopping off half my finger was just an extension of that. Of course, I knew it wasn’t as simple as getting a new haircut. It would require surgery…

Get smoother skin with the right acid. AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) Best for: Normal to dry and sun-damaged skin types Glycolic, citric or lactic acids help unglue the bonds that hold dead skin on the surface of your skin helping to smooth lines and wrinkles, brighten and fade sun damage. Hyaluronic acid won’t exfoliate your skin but it will help plump and hydrate any dryness. BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) Best for: Oily and blemish-prone skintypes Salicylic or benzoic acid exfoliates skin on the surface and at a deeper level to balance oil production and exfoliate inside pores to smooth any bumps. PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) Best for: Sensitive and dry, easily irritated skin types PHAs are a less-concentrated version of an AHA. They have larger molecules, which do not penetrate the…

1 Praise be! You’ve met someone. You like them. Hallelujah. But does the idea of telling them how you feel make you feel a bit sick? Swallow it pronto and start ‘liking’ them instead. ‘Give him a genuine compliment,’ says relationship expert and psychologist Dr Becky Spelman (we-vibe.com). ‘Without being cheesy, tell him you like his shirt or, more intimately, his cologne.’ He will lap it up. Trust us. The praise, not the sick. We hope. 2 Clever copycat Want a move to reel him in quicker than a BOGOF deal? ‘When people are attracted to one another, they instinctively copy their body language,’ explains Dr Spelman. ‘Without being obvious, if he folds or unfolds his legs or arms, do the same. If there is attraction there, without even realising…

Reality star Jordan is back as a holiday rep for ITV2’s new six-part Ibiza Weekender spin-off, Weekender: Boat Party. Here, the Welsh hunk tells us about life on board a Croatian yacht, new recruits and falling in love. You’ve got two new recruits, Charlotte and Jackson. How were they? Charlotte is a good rep and very good-looking, but alcohol is her biggest enemy! She gets herself into a lot of trouble in the series and was put on a drinking ban. Jackson is a lovely lad, but when it comes to the ladies, he’s had a bit of a nightmare. I took him under my wing. What were the group dynamics like? We started as a nice little family but towards the end we had one of the biggest arguments…
