Kerry slammed the public for forgiving Ant so quickly There’s no doubt the public have welcomed Ant McPartlin back with open arms following his time in rehab for alcohol and painkiller addiction, and Kerry Katona is not happy. The former Atomic Kitten member, 38, said, ‘Ant went to rehab for drink and substance abuse problems and he was forgiven in less than a year – but it’s taken me a decade! People are quick to slag off women – especially mothers – if they go off the rails, yet if it’s a man in showbiz, he’s right back in the saddle.’ We hear you, Kezza! Katie admitted she might have to put Harvey into care During her campaign to end online bullying, Katie Price made the heartbreaking confession that she…

Ant’s in puppy love WHEN: 2 FEBRUARY WHERE: SOUTH WEST LONDON Ant McPartlin definitely had his hands full on a day out with his two new puppies Milo and Bumble. The 43-year-old even dressed the pooches in matching outfits. Cute! Let’s just hope his Labrador Hurley – who he shares with ex-wife Lisa Armstrong – isn’t the jealous type. Duncan’s toga party WHEN: 3 FEBRUARY WHERE: BARBADOS Former Dragons’ Den star and businessman Duncan Bannatyne has made a lot of smart decisions in his life. So it’s no surprise that, while we’re all shivering in the UK, he was in the much warmer climes of Barbados with his gorgeous wife Nigora, 38, to celebrate his 70th birthday. But dressing up as a Roman emperor? Hmmm, maybe…

You OK, Meg-hun? WHEN: 2 FEBRUARY WHERE: BRIGHTON You know what they say: The best way to get over someone is to… twerk in a nightclub? That’s clearly what Megan Barton Hanson’s heard, anyway. The Love Island star, 24, headed to Brighton to dance her troubles away after a very public split from boyfriend Wes Nelson. That’s one way to show him what he’s missing, Meg. Seann’s feeling fruity WHEN: 1 FEBRUARY WHERE: WEST HOLLYWOOD After all the drama he faced during Strictly last year, you can’t blame Seann Walsh for getting away to the US. But if he’s trying to keep a low profile, it’s not working. Seann, 33, was spotted with a new love interest after some late-night shopping –…

‘I don’t let my kids watch my X-rated scenes’ My kids have seen me on Hollyoaks and EastEnders, but they’ve never seen any of my saucy scenes. I make sure they don’t, but who knows when they get older! My eldest kids have watched me in The Full Monty and they loved it, although my 13-year-old was mortified that Daddy gets his bits and pieces out at the end. She’s used to me acting, but not so used to me being plastered everywhere on the advertising boards with my kit off! To be honest, I should probably make the most of being paid to get my kit off, because at some point they’ll probably pay me to keep it on! Team GC all the way! I’ve been catching odd bits…

Lady Gaga Brighten up grey days and copy Gaga with a sky-blue mac. Can’t afford her nearly £2k designer coat from Fay? We’ve got you! This fab Lindex version will certainly get you noticed and it’s a lot friendlier on the purse. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Supermodel Rosie shows she means business in these daring bright red trousers. If that’s a bit too full-on for you, team the bold blazer with classic skinny jeans instead. Melanie Sykes Keeping things totally chic, Mel shows off her endless pins in a fun skirt. Her Warehouse blouse is a great everyday go-to, and for under £40 you can’t go wrong! Rachel Weisz Showing off her elegant style, Rachel scores 10 out of 10 for this look. We love how she’s complimented the silky dress with…

1 The oh-so-flattering one OK, so it might not be the ring you want to share with your nearest and dearest on Facebook come 14 February, but the benefits of a Durex Pleasure Ring (£5.99, Boots) are well worth bragging about. ‘The restriction while wearing a ring could help him to feel harder and bigger,’ says Sammi Cole, sex expert at Lovehoney. Forget Valentine’s Day, it will be like all his Christmases coming at once. Amen. 2 The best-for-newbies one Anal sex is a bit like swimming after a big meal – you can’t rush it. ‘You need to build up, which is where anal sex toy kits come in handy,’ says Sammi. ‘They contain a range of anal beads and butt plugs, which allow you to comfortably experiment with…

Hollywood star Anna Paquin is starring in Flack , a new comedy series on W set in the world of celebrity PR. She talks about her character Robyn and why she loves her co-star Genevieve Angelson so much…. What drew you to the role? The absurdly, anarchically funny writing. It’s that thing when you’re reading something and going, ‘I’m either a horrible human being for laughing at this or this is the best thing I’ve ever read.’ I think it’s the latter. What’s Robyn like? She’s a wonderfully human character. She’s an absolute mess in her own life, but all the reasons she’s a disaster are what make her fantastic at her job. Did you enjoy working with Genevieve Angelson, who plays your sister Ruth? Genevieve and I fell completely…

We’re used to seeing her looking prim and proper, as she co-presents ITV’s This Morning with Phillip Schofield. And when she’s doing one of her many day jobs, which includes fronting beauty brands or writing her novels, the 38-year-old is busy being a hands -on mum to her three kids – Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and four-year-old Chester. But is the presenter’s polished image just too good to be true? From her secret vodka stash and cheeky fag breaks, we take a look at the side of Holly fans often don’t get to see… Having cheeky fags From her perfectly cut hair to her expertly styled outfits, Holly definitely looks the part. But she has some habits she finds hard to kick, such as smoking. She’s…

‘It would be the ultimate gift for their big anniversary’ This July marks their 20th wedding anniversary, so what better way for Victoria and David Beckham to kick off this new chapter of their life than by adding to their brood? At least that’s what David wants. We’re told the dad-of-four is desperate for another child and is eager for wife Victoria to give him the ‘ultimate gift’ this year. A well-placed source exclusively tells Now , ‘David wants to have another baby and he hasn’t been shy about letting Victoria know it. ‘He believes nothing says they’re more together than a new baby.’ It seems the former footballer might be experiencing a strong case of the green-eyed monster thanks to his close friend Gordon Ramsay, who recently announced he…

He’s never been one to mince his words and – despite slamming the likes of Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga in the past – it appears Piers Morgan has had a sudden change of heart. The usually acid-tongued GMB presenter, 53, has turned his attentions to a host of celebrity underdogs and has been quick to comment in their hours of need. Which is great for thezm, but it’s got us wondering why Piers is suddenly so keen to play nice... Roxanne Pallett Since falsely accusing Ryan Thomas of punching her in the Celebrity Big Brother house last August, Roxanne, 36, has found an unlikely source of strength in Piers. ‘He’s been a rock to me. He’s been through a lot himself so I think he…

‘I vowed never to follow any dating rules’ ‘We’ve all heard the rule ‘do not have sex on the first date’. The message was drilled into me from a young age that if you have sex too soon, you won’t see him again. ‘They’ll lose interest and think you’re easy,’ warned a friend when I questioned this mantra. ‘Seriously, don’t do it until the third date.’ For years, I followed the three-date rule as if it was a religion. I never deviated, not even when temptation arose. But things changed when one day the formula failed me. I’d been happily dating Jeremy for three weeks and we’d enjoyed two amazing dates. Every day, Jeremy and I spoke for hours and he seemed the perfect gent. For our third date he…

‘The more I lost, the more motivated I felt’ ‘ It was as I was getting ready to go to a wedding in June 2013 that I realised my weight was out of control. Sitting on the bed in my new green dress, I was so excited – until I realised I couldn’t bend down to fasten my shoes. I held my breath and stretched out my arms as far as I could, but I still couldn’t reach the buckle. Eventually, I had to ask my friend Jenny (who was getting ready in the same hotel room as me) for help. She’d been my best friend for years, so I knew she wouldn’t make fun of me. But as she fastened my gold, sparkly shoes, I felt my cheeks flaming.…

ROMANTIC ROSE Rosie by name, rosy by nature, Miss Huntington-Whiteley has created her very own fragrance, Summer Rose EDP, £14 for 30ml, M&S, with a bouquet of red rose, jasmine and lily of the valley. Once thought powdery, honey-sweet and a bit granny-ish, rose fragrances are making a big comeback, but this time they’re blended with other notes such as vanilla, citrus and pink pepper. ZARA TEMPTING ROSE EDP, £19.99 for 100ml, melds the scent of the romantic flower with red berries and coffee for a truly modern scent. L’OCCITANE ROSE EDT, £46 for 75ml, is a delicate, pretty adaptation, but what’s clever is that it can be layered with the matching Fragranced Waters, £32, to customise your scent. Choose from the fruity ‘Cheerfulness’, fresh ‘Relaxation’ or citrus-heavy ‘Vitality’. YARDLEY…

Hi guys, This week I want to talk about Naomi Campbell and Liam Payne’s rumoured romance. With a 23-year age gap between the supermodel and pop star it’s no wonder tongues are wagging. In relationships there are certain compatibility points that usually need to be met. These centre around having things in common, your world view, friends and family and having similar back grounds. If you don’t meet at least some of these points, it’ll be much harder to make a relationship work. Naomi and Liam might be having fun, but that’s probably all it will ever be. However, an age gap doesn’t have to be the end of the world, if they work hard at trying to under stand each other then they may stand a chance – just…

How do you like to work out? I practise yoga when I’m travelling, whether it be in a hotel room or when I’m back in Los Angeles. I love being outdoors and hiking with my dogs, too. How do you keep motivated? Listening to my body is essential to me, and with our technical devices, this is necessary as I find my head down way too much! I’ve come to realise I feel better when I keep active. My body feels energised and my mind is clear. Do you have any health or fitness challenges coming up? I’m continuing the knowledge of yoga and I’d like to continue teaching breath-work. I also want to apply the practice of Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine) more into my life – I loved meeting…

They went public with their relationship in November and have been pictured on a number of occasions since. But as the footie-breakfast TV power couple head out on another big-match ‘date’, we ask Judi James to tell us if they’re climbing the love league table or whether Susanna’s football fella is just not that into her… STAYING FOCUSED Steve stands with a wide spatial gap between himself and Susanna here, suggesting he’s got his professional hat on. He has a dour-looking expression and his lips are pursed in seeming displeasure. In contrast, Susanna looks excited, holding her coffee up in a peek-a-boo style while placing one finger to her lips to signal anticipation. TEENAGER IN LOVE Steve is showing more interest in his coffee here, wearing a serious facial expression…

Nicola Roberts A fan of Austin Powers, eh, Nicola? Move over, Mike Myers, the ex-Girls Aloud star, 33, has the 70s covered. However in the…

When Paris Jackson, 20, seemed to disappear on social media, she assured fans it was for the best, saying, ‘Yes I’ve taken a break from work and social media and my phone because it can be too much sometimes.’ And the truth is, all of us could probably benefit from a little digital detox. ‘Research reveals that one in four women have issues with mental health and it’s largely down to social media,’ explains psychotherapist Nick Davies. ‘We’re bombarded with posts about how great people look, which has an impact on how we feel about ourselves.’ This toxic relationship can lead to serious mental and physical health problems – one study showed that higher Instagram usage was associated with a greater tendency towards orthorexia nervosa (an unhealthy obsession with so-called…

It combats loneliness ‘Animals can make wonderful companions for those who find themselves alone, and can encourage people to get out and about for exercise. They can also help initiate interaction with other pet owners,’ says Dr Julia Wrathall, Chief Scientific Officer at the RSPCA. And, of course, you’ll be providing love, fun, companionship and exercise for your devoted dog. It’s proven to make us feel happier That fuzzy feeling you get when looking into the eyes of your pup, or seeing the joy in their face when you go out and play with them – well, it’s scientifically proven to benefit us. ‘Evidence suggests that when we stroke animals – or in the case of dogs, when we just look into their eyes – our bodies release oxytocin, a…

Go, Vogue! Vogue Williams has spoken out about breastfeeding in public and how mortified she was the fir st time. I can totally imagine it must be at first, but a mother feeding a baby is a beautiful thing! I think there are ways to be semi discreet about it, and you don’t need to sit there half naked with your boobs on the table… But, like she showed in her lovely pic, you can’t see anything anyway. I don’t under stand why people get so disgusted by it – it’s nature! Also, I love Vogue and Spencer’s show, he cracks me up and they seem like a great couple. Loving Dubai I had an amazing holiday in Dubai with my friends Lauryn, Chloe and Amelia…
