So many celebs have cosmetic procedures without seeming to consider the risks. This week, Geordie Shore stars Chloe Ferry, Abbie Holborn and Holly Hagan revealed dramatic transformations, yet they’re only in their 20s. What will happen if they carry on? They could do worse than listen to presenter Jenny Powell. At 50, she’s happier than ever with her body, and although she’s had a boob job, she’s ruled out further surgery and embraces ageing naturally. She tells us, “It saddens me to see women losing confidence and digging themselves an early grave.” Her words will have poignancy for Marcelle King, 63. On p40, she reveals how a “beauty treatment” nearly killed her. Her experience was extreme, but it’s a reminder that while scalpels and syringes can save lives, they can…

Rumours surrounding her shock fling with Shane Duffy hit fever pitch last week when Jordan’s iconic pink car was spotted parked overnight at the footballer’s home, following reports she had finally ended her turbulent marriage to Kieran Hayler. Insiders say the mum-of-five – real name Katie Price – is convinced she’s found her fourth husband just in time for her milestone birthday, and has dreamed up an entire future with the 26-year-old Irish sports star. CHEMISTRY A source says, “Katie met Shane through mutual friends and says the chemistry was electric. Within an hour of meeting, they were all over each other. They text non-stop and she sneaks out to see him at every opportunity – even driving over to his house late at night. She and Kieran have been…

Charlotte Crosby was forced to hit back at body shamers last week, who mocked her “weird shape” after she was pictured barely containing her surgically enhanced 34D bust in a see-through bikini top last week. The former Geordie Shore star – who lost 2 1/2st and went from a size 16 to a size 8 in 2014 – posted a video of her body, telling trolls, “All the people commenting on my photos saying ‘you have put weight on’, you are larger in your real pictures. So here is video footage of my body.” Charlotte, 28 – who made headlines last week after reportedly punching boyfriend Joshua Ritchie during a heated row – has been accused in the past of altering her waist to look thinner on Instagram. Hitting back…

Celebrating the end of his GCSEs in a local bar, Ben Kinsella had a bright future ahead of him. But tragically, as he made his way home from the party in London on 29 June 2008, the 16 year old was brutally stabbed to death in an unprovoked attack. His sister, former EastEnders actress Brooke, 35, helped set up knife crime charity The Ben Kinsella Trust in his memory. She says, “Ben’s death was tragic and pointless. Now, every time I pick up a newspaper and see that another person has been stabbed, it breaks my heart. It’s been ten years since I lost my little brother and I desperately hoped that knife crime would become less of an issue. But now, if anything, it’s worse. STABBED 11 TIMES “I…

It was billed as a royal wedding unlike any other, with the nation’s excitement reaching fever pitch as the big day drew closer. But Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s fairy tale made headlines for all of the wrong reasons, after a series of unprecedented royal shocks overshadowed the build-up to their lavish ceremony at Windsor Castle. Meghan’s explosive family feud dominated the days leading up to the wedding. First there was embarrassment, after her half-brother Thomas Markle Jr, 51, wrote an open letter to Harry, warning him Meghan was “jaded, shallow and conceited” and to call off the wedding. While Meghan’s half-sister Samantha, 53, has also repeatedly lashed out against the star and called her “unqualified for the role.” Then there were conflicting reports over whether her father, Thomas, 73…

LISA FAULKNER THE ACTRESS, 46, SHARES HER OPINIONS... AND HER LIFE ‘John never tells me who the MasterChef winner is’ The new contestants for Celebrity MasterChef 2018 have just been announced, and it looks really interesting with the likes of Spencer Matthews, Gemma Collins, Frankie Bridge and Strictly’s AJ Pritchard in the line-up. I'll be glued to the TV for every episode – I always am. John [Torode, Lisa’s partner and MasterChef judge] never tells me who the winner is in advance, but I wouldn’t want to know anyway as it’s my favourite show and I like the surprise. Going on Celebrity MasterChef can be life-altering – I won it back in 2010 and the show certainly changed mine because I discovered I had an absolute passion for cooking. There…

She’s been friends with Gemma since 2011, and now Chloe Sims has weighed in on her TOWIE co-star’s relationship. Speaking to Closer at the NHS Heroes Awards last week, Chloe, 35, told us, “I think Arg and Gemma are good together and I love seeing her happy, but Arg is immature. I know he isn’t a bad guy, but I hope nothing goes wrong. Gemma deserves her happy ending.” Over the last series, TOWIE fans have watched Gemma and Arg’s romance blossom for the second time – but have also seen the Essex Lothario have a number of arguments due to his scathing comments and provocative behaviour. And mum-of-one Chloe has found that the drama is making her question whether she’s too old for the show. “I’m not talking to…

She’s had £50,000 worth of surgery since rising to fame three years ago – and last week, Chloe Ferry showed off the results of her latest cosmetic transformations, including an asset-boosting boob job and a second nose op to alter the shape of her nostrils. But the Geordie Shore star, 22 – who has already had facial and lip fillers, an eyebrow lift, Botox and a boob uplift – faced an onslaught of cruel jibes after revealing her new look on Instagram, with critics ridiculing the reality star for having “very oddly shaped” breasts after she shared a photo of herself in a crop top. Commenting on the pictures, one fan wrote, “She looks abnormal and ridiculous from all the surgery.” While another blasted, “My God what has she done…

‘Denise is a great role model’ As Jenny Powell emerges from the changing room in a bikini on our exclusive photo shoot there are shrieks of “Oh my gosh, look at your figure!” from the entire team. While she confidently strikes a pose with her toned abs and glowing skin, it’s hard to believe she celebrated her 50th birthday last month. And the TV presenter – who became famous in the ’90s hosting shows like Wheel Of Fortune – is justifiably proud of her body. “If I’d been standing in a bikini for a photo shoot ten years ago, I would have been a quivering wreck. But if I’m being honest, I feel happier, sexier, and more body-confident than ever. Gosh, don’t I sound cocky?” she giggles. “Confidence comes with…

‘Why can’t older women still feel sexy?’ Her incredible looks and jaw-dropping figure have seen her dominate the runway as one of the world’s top supermodels for almost 30 years. But while some celebrities boast about their fast metabolisms or good genes, Heidi Klum, 44, is refreshingly honest about staying in shape – admitting she has to put in the work with her diet. She says, “I do love a Big Mac and fries, but I don’t eat a lot of bad food. For me, it’s about food more than anything else. I don’t have a trainer, I just eat very healthily.” And Heidi says she loves to cook for others and often makes traditional dishes from her native Germany. She says, “I cook many things. I do schnitzel and…

Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and Clinical Director of Patient.info, says, “The gelatine may have been bought in the hope that it would act as an alternative for Botox and temporarily plump up the skin. However, the doctor may not have been aware of what was in it and thought they’d just bought regular Botox cheaply. “It may seem strange that Marcelle got a reaction to beef when it was injected, but not when eaten, but this is purely because it was put in a place where it was not supposed to be. Currently anyone can learn how to administer Botox, so if you want to make sure it’s done safely, either make sure that the practitioner is registered with The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) or the General…

As skincare regimes become ever more complex (ten-step Korean ritual, anyone?) the amount of products we use and different textures and consistencies could actually be doing us more harm than good. So it may be worth going on a skincare diet – paring back your routine to the bare essentials and using the lightest formulas possible to avoid product overload. Some dermatologists are starting to believe that using lots of heavy, super-hydrating creams doesn’t only clog up your pores, leading to possible breakouts, but can also encourage your skin to become lazy and slow down its own natural renewal process. The recent explosion of balm and oil-based products in the beauty industry means it’s easy to weigh down skin with heavy layers without even realising. You might think this isn’t…

‘ WEIGHT LOSS ISN’T ALWAYS GOOD NEWS!’ You may be pleased your jeans fit, but sudden weight loss is linked with 10 cancers, and bloating is a sign too. Dr C explains Arecent study revealed that one in seven people who shed weight for no reason were found to have cancer, and unexplained weight loss is the second highest risk factor for bowel, lung, pancreatic and kidney cancers. OVERCOME FEARS I think lots of people probably do suspect it’s a worrying sign, but they are terrified and ignore it. The other potential reason people ignore sudden weight loss is that they may be pleased and convince themselves that their diet is finally working. We’d all rather not know if there’s something wrong, and two-thirds of us are permanently on a…

You’re meant to “love like you’ve never been hurt”, which I’ve translated to “date like you’ve never been rejected”. But as is often the case with most advice, putting it into practice is the real battle. After giving myself time to let the wounds of my last romantic escapade heal, I’m back lining up dates. This time with renewed optimism, as I’m forcing myself to think how I’d behave if I’d never suffered multiple assaults to my heart (and in the digital age, my head, too). In a way, just how I behave around my friends. There’s just a handful of my mates who know the real me and love me for all of my faults. I’m looking to replicate these friendships with a partner and, in a new experiment,…

Could you tell us the back story? Jeremy Thorpe was the leader of the Liberal Party for a time in the ’60s and ’70s. He was very successful and charming, and he harboured a secret – which was that he was gay, and specifically that he’d had one particular affair in his 30s. Jeremy Thorpe was plagued by this man, and in the end, he appears to have ordered his friends to try to have his ex-lover – Norman Scott – murdered. What’s it like to play him? It was an easy thing to say yes to. It’s a blo*dy good, fascinating character – a man of charm, wit and political talent, who at the same time has a very dark side. I’ve done a lot of research. There’s very…

MUST READ The Colour Of Bee Larkham’s Murder (SARAH J HARRIS) When the flighty and mysterious Bee Larkham disappears, 13-year-old Jasper is convinced something bad has happened to her. Worse than that, he’s convinced he’s the one who’s done the something bad, only he can’t be sure. Because Jasper’s no ordinary boy – as a synaesthete, his world is made up of colours, and the only thing he knows for certain is that he just learned the colour of murder… Gorgeously descriptive, this one-of-a-kind mystery will enchant and enthrall.

Posing for the cameras on the red carpet, Cheryl marked her return to the limelight at the Cannes Film Festival with a noticeably different look. And although the 34 year old is eagerly pursuing her comeback with her first album in four years, set to be released this year, amid rumours she’s returning to The X Factor this autumn – her big moment was eclipsed by negative comments from fans, who were shocked by her changed appearance. One wrote, “She doesn’t look like herself any more – plastic surgery got the better of her” while another said, “Cheryl is a beautiful woman, but she’s lost her spark. It looks like she’s had work done. I hope she’s OK.” Top surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe says he believes Cheryl may have had some…

Former glamour model Jordan had corrective surgery to fix her botched thread facelift earlier this year – but online trolls continue to criticise her extremely tight and puffy appearance. One wrote, “I see the facelift did a world of good – not,” while another posted, “How can you tell her emotion? Her face doesn’t move”. Top surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe tells us that after her Botox, fillers and multiple facelifts, Jordan is unlikely to have much feeling left in her face. He says, “Jordan’s face looks like it’s pulled very tight. The small lines around her face and under her eyes are a result of the skin being stretched drastically. “Around the corners of her eyes, you can see just how tight her face has been pulled, and although she is…

After showing off her hourglass figure last week, Holly Hagan was hit by critics questioning whether she’d had further surgery to achieve her new shape. One commented, “Too much fat transfer surgery! Such a shame,” while another added, “Fake bum, fake boobs, fake stomach, fake lips, and that’s just the obvious. Pretty sad really.” But Holly, 25 – who has admitted to having two boob jobs, fillers, Botox and a 3D bum-lift, but has denied bum implants – is adamant that she’s happier with her new figure. She said recently, “I’m not ‘skinny’ but I am ‘comfortable’ in my own skin. Looking at how far I’ve come, I’m happy with my appearance now, but I wouldn’t say I’m 100 per cent.”…

Gavin McKenna grew up on estates in London and joined a gang at the age of 13. Now 28, he runs charity Reach Every Generation and is married with two children. He says, “I turned to the gang lifestyle because of my traumatic childhood. My mum and I had to escape domestic violence and were forced to move to rough estates in London where the only male role models around me were drug dealers. I saw a man get stabbed when I was ten and, by the time I was a teenager, everyone I knew was carrying knives. I was scared and knew I had to learn to protect myself, so I carried a knife too – a reason many young people are still carrying weapons. “Friends of mine have…

Royal broadcaster Jennie Bond gives her take on royal life for Meghan after a troubled build-up to her big day. She says, “It was a very chaotic week before Meghan and Harry’s wedding and I think she has learnt a tough lesson about what life is like as a royal. Whilst she didn’t do anything wrong, she’s learnt how quickly something concerning her – such as a controversy with her family – can explode. “I think going forward as a member of the royal family, she will need to be more cautious about what she says and does. When she first went public with Harry, people praised her for being a breath of fresh air to the royals and discussed how she would continue to address the UN on feminist…

❛ I’M STILL IN DENIAL ABOUT THE RISKS, DESPITE HAVING PART OF MY FACE CUT OUT ❜ When the temperature rises, Sarah Boyton loves to spend up to eight hours a day on her sun lounger. And if she feels like she’s burning, she reaches for low-protection Factor 6 sun lotion. It’s risky behaviour for anyone but, shockingly, the mum of two is a skin cancer survivor, and despite doctors warning her to stay out of the sun – or risk the cancer returning – Sarah says she can’t help herself. ADDICTION Cafe manager Sarah, 51, from north London, admits, “I love the feeling of the heat on my skin. I know I shouldn’t go out in the sun, but I can’t help myself.” Sarah was diagnosed with skin cancer…

Alice Riley, 27, a marketing executive, lives in Reading with her parents. She says, “It does surprise me that the statistics show there are so many millennial virgins, but I think it’s more common than people realise. My parents’ generation met partners organically, either in a bar or set up by friends. My generation uses apps, where it’s easy to build up a relationship with several strangers and chat to them for weeks. But then suddenly they’ll cut all contact and you’re left wondering what you said or did wrong, which is damaging for your self-confidence. And they could easily be married and pretending to be single. You can be anyone you want online – it’s a minefield. UNCOMFORTABLE It’s not that I’m a virgin for religious reasons and I’m…

She only joined Geordie Shore last year, but Abbie Holborn looks unrecognisable from when she first started on the show. Last week, the 20-year-old reality star was pictured with much plumper lips and a more sculpted face – looking drastically unlike her former self. Abbie tells Closer , “I look different, don’t I? I’ve had some work done since I joined [the show]. I’ve had face and lip fillers. But everyone gets them these days. All my friends have fillers and we get it at the same place. I’ve also had Botox, veneers and my boobs done.” She adds, “When you’re on TV, you want to constantly look good. That’s how it is. And the harsh reality is the better you look, the more attention you get and the more…

‘I’ll live with mental illness until the day I die’ Turning 60 maybe daunting for some, but actress Denise Welch insists she’s relishing the prospect of celebrating with a cheeky bikini selfie. The age-defying TV star has often sparked social media storms by showcasing her figure on Twitter and Instagram – and defiant Denise insists she’ll never stop. She says, “I’ll be still posting bikini pictures when I’m 70 – no, make that 90! The reason I put out the bikini pictures is not to say, ‘Look at me!’ – it’s to say, ‘Don’t tell me I can’t wear a bikini!’ I get an amazing response from women. There’s the odd bodyshamer saying horrible things, but I just block them or kill them with kindness.” But she admits to despairing…

BEING NUDE… “I grew up going to nude beaches with my parents, so I’m a nudist. I’m very free. When I go to the beach, it’s in a very remote place where there are not a lot of people, and I like to go topless.” MY BIGGEST FEAR… “As a mum, you always fear for and worry about your cubs.” BEING A SINGLE MUM…. “It’s definitely harder now I have my family structure, compared to mums who have a husband at home who goes to work every day and then comes home at six. In that sense, I am kind of the man as well.”…

‘I want a tattoo on my buttocks!’ He’s pioneered a campaign against childhood obesity and spearheaded a drive to ban junk food ads, but Jamie Oliver was heavily criticised recently after his Italian restaurants were found to be serving meals full of fat and sugar. One chain even served burgers containing the entire daily 70g fat limit recommended by doctors, while a milkshake with six times the daily sugar limit was spotted on his website. The well-loved chef, 43, who has been forced to close several of his restaurants recently and restructure his business after it racked up a reported £71.5 million of debt, says with a sigh, “Yeah, I’m not going to lie, it’s been tough. I’m proud, because ten years in the restaurant business is a very long…

• Avoid mixing too many ingredients “The risk of irritation is higher the more products you use due to the interaction of different ingredients, so minimise them if skin is sensitive.” • Steer clear of layering up products “Using lots of products at the same time means they may not all absorb properly, making it hard for your skin to breathe and causing clogged pores, which leads to breakouts.” • Be careful with exfoliation “Using active acids like AHAs or BHAs, which exfoliate the top layer of skin, can leave your complexion feeling tight and dry, with a shiny finish (instead of a dewy glow). Either cut out acids all together, or try using a minimal amount, every other day to avoid a reaction.”…

In the study, just one in seven women who had the poorest sense of smell tended to climax during sex, whereas six out of seven with the sharpest sense of smell did. And that’s because they are more sensitive to body odours and hormones, which trigger arousal. Being bunged-up because of allergies or a cold can limit your chances, so experts recommend blowing your nose beforehand. Not romantic, but effective – because super smellers reported more pleasant sexual experiences and a higher frequency of orgasms. Ah-chooh!…

I’M PROUD OF… receiving a Great Scot Award for helping change a law to allow children with Down’s to be treated on the NHS. I got behind the campaign after starring in Big Brother in 2000. Cherie Blair told me I didn’t realise how powerful I was. I DON’T REGRET… going into Big Brother, unlike some of my other housemates, because it opened doors for me. I never wanted to be famous, but as a builder I got into home makeover shows, and it all took off. 18 years on, I still struggle to get a day off. I WOULD CHANGE… nothing! Being taller wouldn’t go amiss, but I get by. I’ve seen people change for the cameras and that’s not me. THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I’VE BEEN GIVEN……

1 PETER KAY’S CAR SHARE: THE FINALE THE LAST EVER ONE BANK HOL MON 28 MAY, 10PM, BBC1 The second series of Car Share ended on an emosh cliffhanger last year, as Peter Kay’s John shunned the advances of the lovely Kayleigh (Sian Gibson). Then, the comedian said there were no plans to pen a further series. Fans revolted (see below), so we get to fill our boots with this – though the content is highly hush hush until it goes out. FACT FILE Fans set up an online petition demanding a proper series conclusion, which gathered over 100,000 signatures. “We were overwhelmed,” says Peter Kay. 2 THE BIGGEST WEEKEND MAJOR MUSIC FEST SAT 26 / SUN 27 MAY, TIME VARIES, BBC1 / BBC2 The Beeb’s epic music concert for…

He may have insisted there was “nothing weird” about being just a stone’s throw from his ex-wife Cheryl at Cannes last week, but eyebrows were raised when Jean Bernard Fernandez-Versini and the singer nearly crossed paths. Cheryl, 34, was snapped heading up some stairs at her hotel while JB, 37, stood at the bar just yards away, where he was later seen chatting to reality star Tallia Storm. He told reporters, “I’ve been in Cannes for 15 years. I came here with about three ex-girlfriends so it just goes into the same box – there’s nothing weird.” He added, “After solving some problems, I’m in a very happy place, and yes, I’m open to something new.” The restaurateur married Cheryl in July 2014, after meeting at Cannes just 12 weeks…

She’s no stranger to having her fluctuating figure slammed by online trolls but, last week, Vicky Pattison – who shed 4st in 2013, dropping from a size 16 to a size 6 – was criticised for her “expanding waistline”. One troll cruelly dubbed her a “unit”, while another wrote, “Oh dear, [she’s put] loads of weight back on.” But insiders say reality star Vicky, 30 – who is thought to be a size 12 – is not listening to her critics, and has told her inner circle she won’t crash diet for her upcoming wedding to businessman John Noble. In January, Vicky told Closer , “Until now, I’ve never really felt loved or attractive and John makes me feel those things.” A source adds, “John’s always telling Vicky how amazing…

She appeared to confirm she was sticking by boyfriend Tristan Thompson with a heartfelt quote on her Instagram Story, which read, “It’s all about who you look for in a crowded room. That’s where your heart belongs to.” But pals say Khloé Kardashian’s decision to stay with the basketball player – who allegedly cheated on her with five women during her pregnancy, and was captured on film last month getting close to another woman just two days before Khloé gave birth to their daughter, True – has caused friction with her older sister, Kim, 37. A source says, “Kim’s upset with Khloé and they had a huge showdown as she slammed her sister for not being stronger and kicking him out.” VULNERABLE The source adds, “Kim’s really concerned about Khloé…

Any hopes of a reconciliation between Jacqueline Jossa and her estranged husband Dan Osborne could well be dashed after he was pictured without his wedding ring, cosying up to several women in a bar. Onlookers at Neighbourhood bar in Manchester have told Closer that Dan, 26 – whose heavily pregnant wife Jacqueline was, as Closer went to press, days away from giving birth – downed shots and was “touchy feely” with a group of girls. FEMALE ATTENTION One eyewitness told us, “Despite previous reports that their separation is temporary, Dan was miles away from home with his wedding ring firmly off, downing shots and lapping up female attention. He was telling anyone who would listen that him and Jacqueline are over, and that he felt she’d even stalled his career…

Princess Diana’s former butler, and royal insider, Paul Burrell, 59, believes the family drama is sadly set to continue for Meghan. He says, “There was a lot of commotion for the week before a royal wedding. The royal family will be thinking, ‘What a mess this all is’, and they may have regrets. Meghan will also be devastated – this is supposed to be the most exciting time of her life, but the damage has been done. “Meghan’s father, Thomas, has been thrust into the spotlight and there is no protocol in place for helping families of those joining the royals. It’s not easy walking into the royal family and people are bound to be taken advantage of. There should have been more communication between Meghan’s family and the royals…

LISA ARMSTRONG: ‘I won’t let Ant down now – he needs me’ She’s raised eyebrows on social media since estranged husband Ant McPartlin returned to rehab following his drink-driving conviction, including liking a Tweet about waiting for “sadness to get better”, “welcoming change” and “finding love”. Last week, Lisa Armstrong also Tweeted congratulations to the Britain’s Got Talent team – which includes the hosts Ant and Declan Donnelly – for their BAFTA win. The duo were later pictured smiling alongside a fan outside a hotel, with Ant also being photographed with a young fan in a café, looking noticeably healthier and happier. Pals say make-up artist Lisa, 42 – who was reportedly devastated when Ant, 42, announced their split in January – is offering her support, amid reports she’s considering…

‘I didn’t tame Spencer – he’s always been a good guy’ She announced in March that she was expecting a baby with fiancé Spencer Matthews – and Vogue Williams has been proudly showing-off her blossoming baby bump on social media ever since. But while Vogue, 32, tells Closer she’s loving being pregnant, she also admits that it’s been a struggle to adjust to her changing shape. The model says, “Getting your bump is exciting – mine has popped now and it’s getting bigger every day. But I’m a little bit self-conscious – I thought I would be much worse to be honest, but it’s still hard to adjust. “I’m a completely different shape now! It’s harder to dress myself – I’m wearing a lot of floaty dresses.” Last month, Vogue,…
