Jordan’s descent into chaos tragically continues. When she’s not venting her fury at ex-husband Pete’s wife Emily, she’s been trying to prove to boyfriend Kris how much she loves him on Instagram, after reportedly texting other men. As she flails from one disaster to another, she’s making it abundantly clear how very desperately she needed to take her rehab seriously. In stark contrast, we chat to Jordan’s ex, Pete, who opens up about life chez Andre, and describes a picture of happiness for their family – including his and Jordan’s children Junior and Princess – adding that after watching the practically perfect Mary Poppins on TV, the kids turned to Emily and said, “She’s just like you”. The image may not go down as well as a spoonful of sugar,…

Her romance with new love Paul Solomons, creative director at GQ, is continuing to flourish after six months together. And last week, Kylie Minogue appeared to make a dig at her exes – including former fiancé Joshua Sasse, who she claimed left her “broken” after their split last year – by heaping praise on her “supportive” boyfriend. The singer, 50, gushed in a TV interview, “It’s been lovely and wonderful to have someone who really is there. It’s great to have success in your life – to have someone to share that with is amazing.” Kylie, who confirmed her relationship with Paul, 43, in May, added that they were trying to stay private about their romance, saying, “I really just don’t want to say too much. He’s a great, great…

When Sam Price* , 18, went out for a cocktail with her friend Lily in September this year, it changed her life forever. The girls’ drinks were spiked and the friends ended up being taken against their will to a hotel room, where they were assaulted and raped by a stranger. Student Sam recalls, “I could never have imagined a quick drink would end up with me being drugged and assaulted. I still suffer from panic attacks. I’ll never get over it.” SEXUAL ASSAULT Worryingly, Sam and Lily’s experience is part of a shocking rise, with experts warning Britain is in the grip of a drink-spiking epidemic. Offences have more than doubled in three years – and most of the reported incidents are linked to sexual assaults. Recent police figures…

TV’s beloved reality series I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! made a bold return to our screens last week, with a fresh host in the shape of Holly Willoughby, who’s standing in for Ant McPartlin, plus a new line-up of celebrity faces ready to take on the creepy crawlies and gruesome eating challenges. One person who knows her way around a kangaroo testicle or two is former Apprentice villain Katie Hopkins. She finished tenth on the show in 2007, where she appeared alongside model Janice Dickinson and actress Gemma Atkinson. We asked the outspoken star for her thoughts and predictions on the new campers – and she didn’t hold back… MALIQUE THOMPSONDWYER, 20 MOST LIKELY TO ARGUE WITH FLEUR OVER WHO HAS THE BEST ABS. Given the amount…

‘I’ll make the next girl in my life my priority’ He earned his heartthrob status after winning over viewers on The X Factor in 2009, and has since been linked to fellow stars including presenter Mel Sykes and former X Factor winner Louisa Johnson. But Olly Murs admits that dating as a celebrity can prove tricky. He tells Closer , “Dating isn’t hard for me; it’s harder for girls who meet me. They might already have a preconception of me and I might not be what they expect. They’re also entering a world that’s quite different, they could get papped and end up in the paper. They may think that I’m not as good-looking as I seem on TV, or they might think I’m not as nice in real life.…

CASH FEELS LIKE MONOPOLY MONEY I pay for everything by card. I’m really bad for thinking cash isn’t real money and spending and spending, whereas I’m more careful with my card. I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT MY STRAIGHTENERS I’ve got really thick, frizzy Persian hair so my Cloud Nine straighteners are a must. They are expensive [£115], but they last ages so I think they’re an investment. I GOT SACKED FROM MY FIRST JOB I was about 16 and worked at a buffet restaurant for minimum wage [£3.40 an hour for 16-17 year olds]. My boss asked me to clear up a table and it was disgusting; ice cream smeared everywhere and mushy peas all over the floor. I told her where to go and got fired. All my jobs were…

It’s still November – not too early to be talking about Christmas? No way! It’s post-Halloween – anything is acceptable! Handmade Christmas has become a real staple in the festive TV schedule… It’s a source of great pride, I have to say. Never in a million years did I think I was going to be on telly, or be doing crafts on telly – but the most incredible thing is being perceived as a sort of Christmas person. This year, we’re doing a primetime show and 15 daytime shows – and we take it bizarrely seriously! What can we expect? We had an amazing man on called Tom, who is a professional snow window guy – what a fun job, though slightly seasonal… He basically creates amazing Christmas…

After previously being unlucky in love, Vicky Pattison appeared to have found The One when she rekindled her romance with childhood sweetheart John Noble in 2016 – telling Closer, “I just can’t imagine why I ever EVER was with anyone else… he’s always been the right man, that was just the wrong time.” But last week, the 31 year old was left heartbroken when John – who she was set to marry next year after getting engaged last year – was caught cosying up to model Poppy Owen in a Dubai club. Days later, further images of him flirting with other women surfaced. ON THE ROCKS Soon after the story broke, Vicky unfollowed John on social media, removed her engagement ring and admitted to her Instagram followers that she was…

She was left devastated after going through a very public split from husband Ant McPartlin, 42, earlier this year, and faced further heartbreak when she discovered he’d moved on with his PA Anne-Marie Corbett, 42. And now it’s been revealed that Lisa Armstrong, 42, has forged an unlikely friendship with rugby player Ben Cohen’s ex wife, Abby. After Abby split from Ben – with whom she shares two daughters – he moved on publicly with his Strictly partner Kristina Rihanoff, 41. Lisa and Abby are currently working on a makeover TV show together and posted a pic having dinner with pals. A source says, “Abby has been teaching Lisa techniques she used herself to overcome the pain of a break-up. She’s urged her to seek therapy, meditate and take up…

• If you suspect your drink has been spiked and you are with friends, tell them and don’t go off alone. Symptoms include feeling confused and more drunk than you should be, having difficulty concentrating, problems controlling your body and movement, difficulty speaking and staying awake, hallucinations, blacking out and nausea and vomiting. • Alert bar staff to what has happened and, if you are alone, call someone you trust or 999 and ask to be taken to the nearest A&E department. Inform medical staff that you think your drink has been laced, as urine and blood tests carried out in the first 24-72 hours are most likely to detect traces of drugs. • Some clubs provide drink stoppers for the top of your bottle to prevent someone dropping something…

TURNING DOWN A PLACE ON THE X FACTOR PANEL… “I was nearly on The X Factor panel, but I decided to stay at The Voice. It was amazing to be asked, but The Voice is better for me at the moment.” BEING A GEEK… “Back when I was a teenager, I was like the least cool person. I’ve always been me, I’ve never been someone who follows the crowd. I’ve always done what I wanted to do, not what everyone else wants me to do. I think that’s what geeks are, aren’t they? They’re just being true to themselves and not trying to be something they’re not.” MY ESTRANGED TWIN BROTHER… “I did text him this year and wished him a happy birthday. I felt it was the right time…

SCRUB-UP There’s nothing worse than putting on your favourite party dress to discover your legs aren’t looking their best, so give them some TLC with a skin-saving scrub – using just once a week will ensure your pins remain in tip-top condition this winter. Products that contain natural ingredients, such as brown sugar and honey, are great choices as these will cleanse your skin, while also moisturising – resulting in a silky, smooth omplexion. A pair of exfoliating gloves will do the trick with your usual shower gel, too. MOISTURE HIT After weeks of being hidden under tights we can often neglect our moisturising routine, but ensuring your legs are well nourished will stop them from becoming overly dry and keep them ready for any last-minute skirt occasions!

Lunch is normally something quick like kale cooked in coconut oil with chicken, tomatoes, broccoli and seeds. Dinner varies depending on my mood. Right now, I’m really enjoying haddock, leeks, broccoli, red onion and peppers served…

RELATIONSHIPS BEHAVE YOURSELF ON SOCIAL MEDIA! Research says we make friends ‘sweat’ for replies, cancel plans last minute and get nasty online. Emma isn’t impressed Hands up if you’ve texted last minute to cancel plans with a friend, citing a sudden sick bug, or taken a screenshot of an ex’s new squeeze to dissect with the girls? The cyber age has led us to develop some bad behaviour regarding how we treat one another. It is pretty standard for social feeds to be flooded with “fail” videos, and pictures of embarrassing text conversations never meant for public consumption. This compromising of privacy and dignity may cause some chuckles, but indulging in the nastier elements of our nature is harmful. Taking responsibility for the way we treat people has become simpler…

Your grandmother Alison believed she was happily married to [acclaimed author and former spy] Alexander “Alec” Wilson, until he died – and another Mrs Wilson turned up… I think this is the hardest role I’ve ever played, and the hardest thing I’ve ever done. There were so many pressures; I couldn’t remember [my grandmother’s] voice. Very early on I decided that I wasn’t even going to try to replicate her because I couldn’t bring her to mind, and I didn’t want to in some ways. It must have been a challenge… Early on I thought, “Am I going to play her or not?” I was thinking, “Am I too close, can I do this?” I wasn’t sure – and a week into the performance I wished there was someone else…

Her relationship with Paul Knightley has come under fire in the past, with fans accusing her boyfriend of being “controlling” after the first series of The Mummy Diaries aired in 2016. Now, Sam Faiers has sparked further concern over her relationship with Paul, 30, revealing they are still sleeping in separate beds a year after the birth of their second child, Rosie. Reality star Sam, 27, admitted back in March that she slept in the spare bed with Rosie, while her partner shared a bed with their son Paul Tony, two, in a bid to get a good night’s sleep. And last week she confessed that she’s worried about the lack of contact she has with her partner at night, admitting, “I’m at the point now where I wanna get…

Jordan Parke has spent nearly £9k on a controversial procedure to get a bum like his idol, Kim Kardashian. And despite being infected with a flesh-eating bug that almost cost him his life, the surgery addict insists he’ll go under the knife once more. The 27 year old, from Dudley, West Midlands, had a Brazilian butt lift – where fat is removed from large areas on the body and transferred into the bum – along with implants, in April. The procedure is notoriously risky, with two British women dying due to complications from the surgery this year. Jordan explains, “Within days of my op, a huge hole appeared on my right bum cheek that oozed with puss and flesh. The pain was unbearable. RISKY SURGERY “Doctors told me I’d developed…

“Casey experienced an isolated teenage period where she felt bullied and excluded by girls she believed were friends. This led to her questioning her self value, but finding friends who liked and accepted her helped Casey believe in herself again. By her own admission, Casey had been unlucky in love, however, meeting Dane and recognising that he loves her fully has enabled her to trust and grow in the relationship. Having a baby has been challenging, but it’s also helped Casey to love and accept her body and to concentrate on things that truly matter.”…

It made headlines recently that a man in his fifties, who was taking green tea capsules, ended up needing a transplant because they damaged his liver so badly. That’s rare, but we need to be cautious about supplements. BE CAREFUL ONLINE There have been at least 80 cases of liver injury linked to green tea supplements, and the European Food Safety Authority has said that the catechins [a type of antioxidant] in green tea are generally safe, but supplements with 800mg or more can pose health risks. Bought cheaply online, there could be something dodgy in them, or they can be too strong. WATCH THE DOSAGE People understandably think “Vitamin D is good, so if I double the dose, I’ll get double the benefits”. They see supplements as natural and…

It’s never nice to be rejected and, if you’ve got a conscience, then it’s often just as unpleasant to be the one doing the dumping. How someone dumps you says a lot about who they are. Ghosting – where someone ignores your calls and messages until you get the hint that they no longer want to be with you – has become the norm, but that doesn’t make it acceptable! I’ve recently come across a new dating behaviour: the “slow fade”. This is a gradual form of ghosting, where he’ll slowly start to faze you out. There will be a series of non-committal messages about loosely meeting up, but never anything concrete, and he may sporadically get in contact, but won’t directly ask a question or engage in conversation. This…
