She’s the new star of Sunday night TV, as she gets her skates on for this year’s Dancing On Ice and wows fans with her high jinks on the rink. But off the ice, sources say there’s been a little frostiness between Gemma Collins and boyfriend Arg, as he’s grown jealous of the “other men” in her life – including skate partner Matt Evers. Apparently, Gem has joked she likes making Arg sweat, so he could be frozen out for a while yet! Talking of chills, with dire warnings that the Beast from the East is set to sweep in again, we’re asking you to spare a thought for the pet rabbits stuck outside in their hutches. Experts say rabbits are the most abused pets in the UK, but on…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST EMMA KENNY SAYS, “Wayne keeps making mistakes – quite serious ones, too – but I think he partly feels he can make them because there are no consequences for him. I don’t think Coleen will leave Wayne – she has invested too much into her life with him. They started dating at just 16; they’ve grown up together and I think there is a lot of love between them. But because they’re so close, I think Coleen feels like she has to care for Wayne – especially if he’s struggling with other issues. I don’t think Wayne would leave Coleen, either, as I think he needs her – but he just can’t help making these mistakes.”…

She was supported by boyfriend James “Arg” Argent as she got her skates on for her first appearance on Dancing On Ice last week – with the reality star cheering her on from the front row. But sources say Gemma Collins and Arg, 31, have been suffering secret tension as he grows increasingly jealous over the “other men” in her life. Gemma, 37, was also cheered on by former CBB pal Jonathan Cheban – whom she thanked on Instagram for flying over from New York to be in the audience. She also shared a photo of herself cuddled up to her professional skating partner Matt Evers, with whom she has been training regularly for three months. A source says, “Arg was so excited to see Gemma perform, although he couldn’t…

Last week, fans praised Irish model Vogue Williams’ new reality show Spencer, Vogue And Baby Too, following her family life after having baby Theo with husband Spencer Matthews. And Kerry says she’d love to watch it, but can’t as Molly and Lilly-Sue – who had Vogue as their stepmum when she married their dad Brian in 2012 – refuse to let her. She says, “I’ve heard it’s really funny. But my daughters aren’t keen on her, so I can’t watch it with them. I’ll have to see it on my own.” But Kerry and the girls will definitely be watching Brian, 38, on this year’s Dancing On Ice – with the star saying that, despite their bitter divorce, they’re on good terms. She says, “I’m going to go and see…

She’s famously open about showing off her body and getting her kit off in public – and was recently pictured sitting on a swing in the nude on a Maldives beach. But Lisa Appleton tells Closer she doesn’t feel as confident about her figure as she once did, and is planning a radical surgical overhaul in the run-up to her 51st birthday in May, saying she now has a new boyfriend and wants to boost her self-esteem. The larger-than-life reality star says, “Inside, I feel content and happy, but it doesn’t show on the outside. My body’s sagging in places, there are rolls of fat on my tummy and my boobs aren’t what they used to be. I want to look my best when I end my 50th year in…

She initially kept her first daughter North away from the spotlight following her birth in 2013, refusing to let the cameras film her for the family’s reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians. But in recent years, Kim Kardashian has allowed her brood – including Saint, three, and 11-month-old daughter Chicago, who was born via a surrogate – to enjoy the spotlight. And insiders say amid rumours she’s expecting her fourth baby with Kanye West via a surrogate, Kim has been leaning on her “momager” Kris Jenner for tips on how to capitalise on her growing family. PINT-SIZED ICON The source says, “Kim’s been picking Kris’ brain about how to follow in her footsteps and turn the Wests into a billion-dollar brand just like she’s done. She’s said Kris is…

Ben: ‘Attraction has no age limit’ Musician Ben Ofoedu, 46 – who is engaged to radio presenter Vanessa Feltz, 56 – tells Closer , “My message to Yann is that I’ve been lucky enough to date women younger than me, the same age and older – and the truth is it’s entirely down to the chemistry between individuals. Love has no age limit and neither does attraction. The sexiest woman I’ve ever dated and shared my heart and soul with is my gorgeous partner Vanessa, who is ten years my senior. She’s physically and intellectually superior to all the other women I’ve known, and as the lead singer of a band, I’d say I’ve had a few experiences!” Scotty: ‘Women are belters in their fifties’ Geordie Shore star Scotty T,…

She’s mum to sons Sonny, 14, Kit, nine, Ray, six, and Jesse, two, with The Feeling bassist Richard Jones – and last week, singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor announced the arrival of her fifth son. She shared the news on Instagram, with a picture of her husband cradling their newborn. The star, 39, wrote, “He’s here! Mickey Jones born today weighing 7lb 1oz and he’s absolutely gorgeous. Welcome to our quirky little family, sweet boy.”…

REALITY SHOWS “So many young people go on reality shows nowadays and chase fame. I’m a champion of determination and drive – and I say good luck to them. Just remember, it can be a tough industry and don’t lose sight of actual reality or what’s really important.” FAME “When I started out, I never thought I’d end up a high-profile businesswoman or be in the public eye. I like that world, but I keep myself relatively private. I don’t go to all those red-carpet events and sell my soul.” SUCCESS “I’ve been successful with my businesses and I think that’s down to resilience. I’m determined and I have a can-do attitude. Every trial and tribulation has seen me come back stronger. You’ve got to stay positive if you want…

NUTRITIONIST JULIETTE KELLOW SAYS, “Luisa’s lunches and dinners are great and it’s good to see she snacks on fruit and nuts, but skipping breakfast means she’s potentially missing out on a lot of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Good options include porridge with fruit and nuts; a smoothie bowl made from fruit; soya yoghurt; oats and seeds and wholegrain toast with avocado and eggs.” FRIDGE HEALTH RATING 9/10 CLOSER ONLINE GET RECIPES, DIET AND FITNESS ADVICE AT CLOSERONLINE.CO.UK/DIET-BODY…

ALL ABOUT YOU STOP PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN As new research claims women feel bad about themselves four times a day, Emma wants us to focus on the good The top three confidence crushers, according to this research, include having a bad skin day, realising you don’t fit into your favourite jeans and – in the number one spot – seeing your reflection in a shop window and not liking it. This confirms how obsessed we have become with our appearance and is ultimately why so many of us are so unhappy. No research connects beauty with happiness. You may feel you’re having a really good hair day, and that may lift your mood, but all that’s happened is you gave yourself permission to feel happy. That’s the key with confidence…

CLOSE YOUR CURTAINS Curtains are a surprisingly good way to insulate your room. Close them at night to help prevent the warm inside air from escaping. On a single glazed window, this can save up to 20 per cent of the heat normally lost. You can also clip a thicker fabric onto the back to double up while they’re closed. COVER YOUR CHIMNEY Make sure that you keep your chimney sealed if your fireplace isn’t in use. A chimney balloon, or a damper, is a great way to seal off the chimney so your home retains more heat. While you’re at it, put sheets of tin foil down the back of your radiator – this helps to reflect the heat back into the room to make your heating more efficient.…

Helen, what’s Trixie up to this series? HELEN GEORGE, 34: She takes a much more serious role. There are still light moments – and a lot of joy between myself and the midwives – but, after the alcoholism, she’s keen to focus on the medical side of things. She throws herself into work, giving it the attention that she once would’ve paid to gin… Is it different being back on set now you’re a mum [to one-year-old Wren Ivy]? H: It’s definitely different. I suppose I’m more motherly now. And I’m discovering what it’s like to be a working mum, being away from your child. Though I think the hardest thing is realising how big my eye bags are this year! Has Wren [whose dad is former…

Her life continued on its downward spiral last week when she was fined £1,295 and banned from driving for three months after being caught at the wheel while disqualified. Additionally, she is now facing trial over an alleged drink-driving offence in October. Jordan, 40, arrived in court twice without on/off boyfriend Kris Boyson, 29, amid claims she was set to dump him again. Insiders say that instead of focusing her energy on getting her life back on track, the mum-of-five has become fixated once again on her ex, Peter Andre. Pals tell Closer how Jordan – also known as Katie Price – has convinced herself that the 16-year age gap between Pete, 45, and his wife, Emily MacDonagh, 29, has doomed their relationship and that it’s only a matter of…

She’s spent the last decade fiercely protecting her privacy, barely sharing anything about her personal life with fans. But in an interview published last week, Cheryl performed a surprising U-turn and spoke candidly for the first time in years on relationships, motherhood and fame. Yet fans were quick to accuse her of playing the victim. One wrote online, “Still looking for that sympathy vote. Trying too hard, just stay quiet”. Another said, “She’s got another single to release! That’s why we’re getting phase two of the PR campaign ‘Operation Feel Sorry For Me’.” And insiders say Cheryl, 35, is hurt that her efforts to open up have still not led to people warming to her. A source says, “Cheryl is confused as to why everyone wants to hate on her.…

She has lots of experience working with confident, strong women after being a member of US girl group Pussycat Dolls for seven years. And as she skates into action on Dancing On Ice, Melody Thornton admits she’s fallen in love with the diva qualities of fellow contestant and new pal Gemma Collins. Melody, 34, says, “I love Gemma. I come from a family of really fun, loud, outspoken people – and she’s all of those things. She has a big personality and can be boisterous, but she’s lovely.” Gemma has reportedly made diva demands backstage, but Melody reveals, “Behind the scenes in hair and make-up, Gem is just like everyone else – she has the same insecurities that the rest of us have and she’s working at the same pace…

They’re set to come face-to-face at the National Television Awards next week, a year after announcing their acrimonious split – with claims of adultery, a reported legal warning over “attacks” on social media and a custody battle over their pet dog Hurley being played out in the public eye. Now pals say Lisa Armstrong, 42, is anxious about seeing Ant McPartlin, 43, at the ceremony when Strictly Come Dancing (where she works as a make-up artist) goes head-to-head in the Best Talent Show Category with Britain’s Got Talent, which he co-hosts with Declan Donnelly, 43 – although Ant has been absent for much of the past year to deal with personal demons following a stint in rehab and a drink-driving charge in April. After he announced the end of his…

She blasted her ex Joey Morrison when they split in July last year, accusing him of using her and being a liar after he was caught messaging a string of other women. And last week, Lauren found herself in a fresh war of words with the criminal – who was released from prison this summer after serving nine years for drug-related offences. Responding to a fan’s claim that her saucy social media posts were to get Joey’s attention, Lauren said, “That’s funny because he just tried to ring me three times since I posted this pic.” She also branded him a “wasteman” and accused him of “chasing anything he can through my name”. The former TOWIE star was then left hurt and humiliated when Joey responded to her claims on…

Pepita Ridgeway counts herself lucky to be alive after her twisted husband Robert, 64, plotted to kill her as she slept. Following a series of arguments with her husband of 18 years, Pepita had been sleeping in a caravan parked next to their home. But evil Robert had set up a gas cylinder and hose, pumping odourless nitrogen gas into the caravan – and if his plan had been a success, Pepita would have choked to death in her bed, seemingly from natural causes. TERRIFIED Pepita, 51, says, “When I found that gas cylinder, I was terrified. I knew Robert had a nasty streak, but I could never have suspected he’d do something so terrible.” Pepita met Robert through friends in October 1996. They had a whirlwind romance and got…

In a controversial interview published last week, French author Yann Moix insulted a generation of women when he claimed he’d be “incapable” of loving women in their 50s, saying they were “invisible” to him despite being 50 himself. He insisted that the body of a 25-year-old woman is “extraordinary” while the body of a woman of 50 is “not extraordinary at all”. The statement caused a storm throughout the world. Former WAG Lizzie Cundy – who had previously claimed she was 47 but recently confessed to her real age of 50 and admitted she’s never been happier – says, “What makes a woman in her 50s attractive is that she’s experienced life and gone through it. Her wrinkles are a sign of the good and the bad. Plus, they know…

She’s been linked to a string of younger men and, last week, Kate Beckinsale’s penchant for toyboys appeared to continue when reports surfaced she’d left a Golden Globes after-party with US comedian Pete Davidson, who is famed for being Ariana Grande’s ex. Onlookers reportedly saw Pete, 25, and Hollywood star Kate, 45, “cosying up” and “laughing” before leaving the event together. But pals say Kate is nervous about pursuing anything further as Pete only split with Ariana, 25, in October following a whirlwind five-month engagement. A source says, “Kate and Pete really hit it off. He made her laugh and that’s the key to her heart. He’s asked her on a date and she’s said yes, but only if he promises he’s fully over Ariana. She doesn’t want to be…

Michael Douglas, 74, paid tribute to his wife of 18 years Catherine Zeta-Jones, 49, last week after winning a Golden Globe for his acting in The Kominsky Method. He said the secret of their happy marriage was being in the same industry so she “understood” what the award meant. He added they had a “genuine love that only continues to grow”. But while the couple are clearly content, the discrepancy in their age was hard to miss – and they were pictured as Michael appeared to fall asleep. Meanwhile, Jerry Hall, 62, was described as looking more like her 87-year-old husband Rupert Murdoch’s carer than his wife when they were snapped on holiday in Barbados recently. But some of the happiest relationships in showbiz span the generations. Joan Collins, 85,…

She’s famed for her bubbly on-screen persona and posting bikini selfies on social media – but behind the smiles, Denise Welch admits she still faces an ongoing battle with her demons. The 60-year-old TV star – who has suffered from severe clinical depression for almost 30 years – admits that after swapping her self-destructive lifestyle of binge eating and alcohol addiction for sobriety and therapy, she’s finally stopped blaming herself for her illness. Denise decided to give up drinking for good seven years ago, and tells Closer, “I know I’ll never be free of depression. It can come on without any warning, even if I’m at my happiest. But if it does, the episodes are shorter lived because of the way I live my life now. It’s taken time, but…

Male mental health problems are already under-diagnosed, because of the “man up” mentality, but men can feel helpless as new dads. Bonding with this thing that poos and screams a lot can be hard, and men are usually back at work quickly and sleep deprived, so it’s no wonder eight per cent experience postnatal depression and the risk of depression doubles in the first year of being a dad. LOOK OUT FOR SIGNS There’s a misconception that postnatal depression is purely about disruption of hormones, so only women can suffer. In fact, it can be caused by many things, but people get on average just eight minutes during a GP appointment, which isn’t long enough for somebody to open up about mental health problems. We need to keep an eye…

As someone who dishes out dating tips for a living, what I’m about to say is somewhat hypocritical, but sometimes it’s best to ignore love advice. There, I said it. My latest revelation came last week, while I was having coffee with my best friend. She was signing me up to hot new dating app Hinge, and as we were discussing what an influx of single men could bring (or not bring) to my life, we were interrupted by a man sitting next to us. He politely interjected to tell me how he won the jackpot after meeting his “incredible” girlfriend on Bumble this time last year, suggesting that I should try to meet men on apps. As if, after five years flying solo, I’d never thought of that. He…

SHOCK NEWS FOR KAT EASTENDERS Alfie – probably wishing he was still in Spain – desperately needs cash and so turns to Phil for help. A bit later on in the day, Kat gets a text from him saying he’s in trouble, and then the police arrive with some shocking news. Said news involves Kat searching frantically for a post-it note written by Alfie, but she can only find half of it because her son appears to have eaten the rest… Elsewhere, the game could be up for Stuart. Could he possibly have anything to do with what happened last week with Doctor Legg? HOLLYOAKS LOVE IS IN THE AIR Harry still has feelings for James and, wanting him back on side, he tries to help him bond with Romeo.…

NURSE CRANE HAS A ROMANCE Says Linda Bassett, 68, “She finds it terrifying. The man in question has a long struggle ahead!” BACK-STREET ABORTION IS A THEME… Jen Kirby tells us, “In further cases down the line, Valerie takes it to heart because she is from the community.” SISTER MONICA JOAN BATTLES DEMENTIA Judy Parfitt, 83, says, “Dementia is a frightening illness; it’s very complex…” A HERMAPHRODITE BABY IS BORN Helen George reveals, “This storyline brings together the medical side with the emotional turmoil involved.” REGGIE GETS A GIRLFRIEND Says Daniel Laurie, 23, “I loved the dancing scenes – I’m self-taught...” THE TURNERS EXPAND THEIR FAMILY Stephen McGann, 55, says, “Little May has made a big difference to the Turners. The dynamic has changed.”…

‘SHE IS UNDERSTANDABLY HURT AND DOESN’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE SHE CAN TAKE’ • Reports claim Coleen is mortified by husband Wayne’s arrest at a US airport • Sources say Wayne has gone back on his promise to turn over a new leaf in America • Pals claim the footballer could ‘humiliate’ her again because he knows she’ll never leave him Their new life in America was meant to signal a fresh start, putting footballer Wayne Rooney’s colourful past firmly behind them – with his wife Coleen announcing on Twitter that it was a move “we are going to do as a family”. But the happy times seemed short-lived as it emerged last week that footballer Wayne, 33 – who earns £300,000 a week playing for Washington soccer team D.C.…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST EMMA KENNY SAYS, “I think the public find it hard to sympathise with Cheryl because she tries to pick and choose when she wants to interact with them – during her pregnancy she disappeared and went off the radar, but more recently she’s been courting attention again. After the pregnancy, she wasn’t seen until she’d lost all the weight, which riled some fans who pointed out how she’s often spoken out against body issues and skinny shaming. And now – despite previously saying she wanted to keep Bear out of the limelight – Cheryl has been posting pictures of him on Instagram. I think she may be doing this to try to endear herself to the public – mothers are always harder to ‘troll’ and the public…

When it comes to love, Kerry Katona has really been through the mill. She endured a bitter divorce from her first husband Brian McFadden, went through drug addiction after tying the knot with Mark Croft and her third marriage saw George Kay arrested for assault against her. It’s enough to put anyone off relationships for life. And now Kerry – who has been single since splitting with entrepreneur Ryan Mahoney, 29, in October – admits that after decades of heartbreak, she’s petrified of having a serious romance. EXTREMES She says, “I’m so scared of falling in love. I’ve been through so much heartbreak that I just don’t see the point. I don’t want to let anybody in. Ryan was a lovely guy, but as soon as it became too serious,…

She sparked pregnancy rumours earlier this month when she posted a snap of herself cradling her tummy during a holiday in Paris. But while Charlotte Crosby exclusively confirms to Closer that she’s not currently expecting, she does admit that becoming a mum is still her “dream.” And she’s even already talked about starting a family with boyfriend-of-a-year, Joshua Ritchie. Referencing the pregnancy speculation, Charlotte, 28, says, “It’s only rumours, come on! I’ve been doing a lot of drinking lately, which I wouldn’t be doing if I was pregnant. It’s just that I’d had a very big dinner and I was trying to hide my extremely bloated belly!” OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOUR She adds, “Of course I get broody, I think most women get like that, but it’s not something I’m ready for…

She hit back on social media after she was body-shamed by trolls when photos of herself in a bikini on holiday in Mexico surfaced last week. But Vicky Pattison was quickly forced to eat humble pie after former Pop Idol star Michelle McManus accused her doing the same thing. Michelle shared a screenshot from an interview in 2014 where Vicky had talked about gorging on pizza and chips, claiming, “There’s a Michelle McManus inside me dying to get out!” Michelle added the caption, “Yes @vickypattison because you’ve never publicly body shamed anyone have you? Oh wait…” Vicky, 31 – who was in Mexico for her sister Laura’s wedding – issued an apology, insisting, “There are a lot of things I did five years ago that I’m not proud of. And…

New documentary Surviving R Kelly has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and raised questions about abuse and misconduct in Hollywood yet again. The six-part series, which premiered in the US at the start of the year and is due to air in the UK next month, shines light on the alleged sexual abuse carried out by R&B singer R Kelly on a number of women over several decades. MULTIPLE ALLEGATIONS R Kelly, 53, has had a 30-year reign in the showbiz industry and has seemingly been untouchable, despite multiple allegations that have plagued him throughout his career. He’s one of the best-selling R&B artists of all time, selling platinum albums and winning three Grammys, including a nomination for the pop song You Are Not Alone, which he wrote for…

HALLE BERRY, 52 The star, who is diabetic, credits a healthy no-sugar diet for her figure, as well as resistance training. She’s said, “I do a workout that revolves around my bodyweight… I do yoga sometimes, or Pilates.” SANDRA BULLOCK, 54 Actress Sandra isn’t afraid to try less orthodox procedures to stay young and uses a serum made from newborns’ foreskin. She says, “I call it the penis facial… it ruptures the collagen and boosts it.” ELLE MACPHERSON, 54 Being in her 50s has made Elle “very secure”. She says, “I set my intentions for the day and check into my feelings, my body and mind. My energy levels, sleep patterns and skin all benefit because of it.” MONICA BELLUCCI, 54 The model says she gets better with age, revealing,…

She announced her shock engagement to musician Tom Kaulitz, 29, on Christmas Eve, after just nine months of dating. And now insiders say model Heidi Klum, 45, wants ex-husband Seal, 55 – who has Henry, 13, Johan, 11, and Lou, 10, with Heidi – to come to the wedding. A source says, “Heidi and Seal are still close – they share three kids and have a lot of respect for each other. Heidi wants him to be there when she ties the knot with Tom. He still means a lot to her and she wants to make sure he’s still involved in her life, and the children feel that too.”…

Liz Hurley’s son, Damian, proved he was the spitting image of his model mum last week when he posted a snap on Instagram of them both holidaying in India. The 16 year old has the same chiselled features, piercing blue eyes and long tresses as his stunning mum, leading many fans to comment on their uncanny similarity. One said, “He’s a spit of his mum.” While another commented, “I can’t believe how much you look like your mother!” The teenager, an actor and model, is the son of American film producer Steve Bing, who had a brief fling with Liz in 2001. Damian and Liz, 53, have described each other as “soul mates” and she raised eyebrows when she revealed how she ropes her son into taking photographs of her…

She announced her surprise engagement at the start of the year, revealing she was over the moon that her businessman boyfriend Doug Barrowman popped the question on Christmas Day. But the engagement is extra special for Michelle Mone, because she didn’t think she’d ever find real love again following the agonising end of her first marriage in 2011, when her husband of 19 years, Michael Mone, walked out on Christmas Day and announced he was leaving her for another woman – although he has denied cheating on Michelle. He then began a relationship with a family friend and senior employee at Michelle’s former lingerie brand, Ultimo. PICKING UP THE PIECES The Scottish entrepreneur and millionaire – also known as Baroness Mone of Mayfair after she was given a peerage in…

PUNCHY PINK The formal suit has had a fun rework for 2019. Strong shades, touchy-feely textures and a more relaxed silhouette make it easy to dress up or down.

1 I LIKE TO BE TANNED ALL YEAR ROUND… Cocoa Brown Tanning Mousse is my favourite for colour, especially the dark shade. I’ve been using it for a long time, so it’s very well tried and tested by me! 2 SEMI-MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICKS ARE GREAT FOR DAYTIME… I’ve been using Huda Beauty in shade Feminist recently, they’re really great because they’re not drying on the lips. It has a bit of a gloss and a bit of matte, which is the perfect mix. 3 I ALWAYS WEAR THE SAME PERFUME… My signature scent is Tuberose Angelica by Jo Malone, It’s such a lovely fragrance. 4 I DON’T WEAR MUCH MAKE-UP UNLESS I HAVE AN EVENT OR I’M GOING SOMEWHERE NICE… But when I do get dressed up, I use Doll…

RETURNING TO LOOSE WOMEN “I thought the show had lost its way when I left five years ago, but I think it’s back to its best now. It was wonderful [to go back], and me and Carol [McGiffin] were welcomed with open arms! It was brilliant to see lots of the old – and new – faces.” COSMETIC SURGERY “I had an eye lift ten years ago and it was the best thing I’ve ever done, so I wouldn’t say no to more surgery – but for the moment I’m happy. Some of the surgery out there scares me. I’m never having fillers again – I’ve seen some people with them and they look like a lion! It’s put me right off!” GETTING OLDER “Sometimes you can think of getting…

LUISA How much do you spend per week? £300. It sounds a lot, but that’s for my husband and three kids [Dixie, eight, from a past relationship, and Indigo, two, and Clementine, one, with husband Andrew Collins] plus my parents, who live with us. My husband’s family are always over, so we often have a full house. I hate supermarkets, so I shop on Ocado. Describe your daily diet... I hardly ever eat breakfast – if I do, I’ll have a banana. For lunch I love soup, so I’ll have kale and cannellini bean or butternut squash soup, or a salad. For dinner, I’ll make either a vegetarian chilli with chickpeas and kidney beans, or an aubergine bake, and for the family I’ll make shepherd’s pie or steak. I watch…

Women did an identical exercise class: same room, music and moves, but for half, the instructor’s comments were about strength and health; for the other half, appearance. When the teacher said things like, “This move develops leg strength to help you run, jump and sprint like a superhero!” women felt “accomplished” and “strong”. When they said, “This blasts fat in the legs to get rid of cellulite!” women felt “ashamed” and “disgusted” with their bodies. If you feel bad after exercise, don’t quit – try something else!…

I’M PROUD OF… co-creating and presenting TV show Get Well Soon on CBeebies [which ran from 2012-2015]. It helped little ones understand their bodies and allay their fears about medical environments. I’ve received countless messages from parents about how it helped their families. I WISH... I had more willpower. I always say I want to eat better and exercise more, but then my sofa and chocolate always get the better of me. THE BRAVEST THING I’VE DONE IS… talked someone down from a bridge who was about to take their life. It taught me so much. MY BIGGEST REGRET IS… not putting myself first when I should have done. It’s important to consider the needs of those around you, but sometimes I’ve put my own needs as secondary and that’s…

What was Caitlyn Jenner like on the panel? What a really lovely person – and I was surprised by how well she did. I said, “I don’t think you’ll know anyone”, but we had an American on the episode she was on, and it turned out Caitlyn lived on the same street! She stole the show, and got on very well with Johnny Vegas… What’s the best thing about doing this show? It’s never boring, because you can never guess what a person’s house is going to be like. They’ve either got a lot more than you think they’re going to have, or a lot less… Has anyone really surprised you? I do remember going to Rylan’s house [a converted bungalow that Rylan Clark-Neal has described as a “five-bed Essex…

There’s no point crying over that, Paddy. Besides, as they say in Spain, “No leche, no likey!” Camilla was mortified when she realised Jamie had picked up some tiling grout by mistake on their “pamper night”. ALAN CARR... Alan, either you’ve been duped and she’s flown off on holiday – or she doesn’t trust the NHS! JACK WHITEHALL... We feel your pain, Jack. “Je ne comprends pas” is all we ever say on holiday in France.
