In this age, it’s easy to change your looks. With a few taps on your phone, your selfies can be enhanced, but permanent surgical solutions to hang-ups are also now commonplace. This week, we speak to reality star Chloe Khan about a botched nose job that left her fearing she’d die. Worryingly, Chloe describes how she had sensed the clinic was dodgy, but went ahead anyway. Meanwhile, on p44, we speak to Martina Big, who wants to be known as a “black woman” after having tanning injections to change her white skin, though an expert warns the jabs could lead to cancer. Looking at earlier photos of Chloe and Martina, it’s hard to understand why they have put themselves at risk. Perhaps the healthiest change happens from the inside out……

They’ve all been pushed out of the Kardashian inner circle, and last week the family’s infamous exes Tyga, Blac Chyna and Lamar Odom reunited at a party in Beverly Hills. Blac, 29, was showing off her figure after recently shedding over 3st of baby weight, which her ex Rob Kardashian claimed last month was a result of £77k worth of surgery. In a string of Instagram posts, Rob shared a video of Blac going into surgery to get “everything fixed” after giving birth to their daughter Dream in November. Blac is still embroiled in a bitter legal battle with Rob over revenge porn images. Rapper Tyga, 27 – who shares son King Cairo, four, with Blac – appeared at the event just weeks after giving an interview about his two-year…

Looking happy and confident as she showcased her newly toned abs in a bikini on holiday in Spain, Kerry Katona appeared to shrug off the strain of her recent split from husband George Kay. The 36-year-old shed 3st and slimmed from a size 14 to a size 8 earlier this year after undergoing non-invasive liposuction. And insiders say Kerry – who suffered more heartache two weeks ago after George was filmed ranting naked on a rooftop – is keeping the weight off on the heartbreak diet. A source reveals: “Kerry has been sticking to a healthier diet, but she says the stress of George and their split has really been keeping off the weight. She’s feeling very confident with her body and loves how she looks in a bikini. She’s…

Surgeon Dr Mark Ho-Asjoe tells Closer that Chloe isn’t alone in her nightmare experience with surgery abroad, and warns you must do thorough research before undergoing cosmetic procedures. He says: “I wouldn’t recommend anyone going to a country with limited health regulations for an operation, or finding their surgeon on social media. “The problem with some doctors abroad is that they don’t have stringent health and safety regulations like we have in the UK. “I’d also steer away from choosing your surgeon via Instagram. Anyone can post anything on there – they can use Photoshop to make the results look amazing and can trick you into believing they can do anything. “If you want surgery abroad, go to a country where the health regulations are of a high standard. I’d…

She recently announced she’s expecting her second child with boyfriend Paul Knightley, but Sam Faiers is determined to do things differently during her pregnancy this time around – and has vowed to keep working out to retain her stunning figure. The former TOWIE star, 26 – who’s mum to 19-month-old Paul Tony – showed off the beginnings of a baby bump on Instagram during a holiday in the sun last week. Posing in a bikini looking particularly svelte, Sam wrote: “#bumplife love my little bump so much kicking going on recently keeping mummy up #mumlife.” And Sam – who’s rumoured to have signed up for another three years of her show The Mummy Diaries for a six-figure sum – is keen to stay in shape, after gaining 2st during her…

Hugh Grant, 56, and Liz Hurley, 52, dated from 1987 to 2000 and during that time Hugh was caught with a prostitute. Sixteen years on, they’re still friends. Hugh is godfather to Liz’s son Damian and she recently said: “He’s very important to me.” Madonna, 58, and Sean Penn, 56, split up in 1989 after four years of marriage, but have stayed pals. At a charity event Sean organised last year, Madonna said on stage: “I love you, from the moment I laid eyes on you. And I still love you.” After Gwyneth Paltrow, 44, and Chris Martin, 40, split in 2014, they coined the phrase “conscious uncoupling.” Since then, they’ve even holidayed with their kids Apple, 13, and Moses, 11. Gwynnie has said: “I think we are better as…

 While they’ve been plagued by endless rumours of marital troubles, Victoria Beckham has been doing her best to keep up appearances with husband David. ❛ SHE’S DETERMINED TO SAIL THROUGH THIS TRICKY TIME AND CARRY ON AS NORMAL ❜ The couple enjoyed a flirty exchange after the former Spice Girl posted a video mocking David as he spun around on hoops at the Aerial Warehouse in LA. David, 42, playfully replied: “Oh I will get you back for this.” But the public display of affection came just days after it was reported that the Beckhams’ new country home in the Cotswolds has his-and-hers wings – adding further fuel to explosive claims they’re leading separate lives. HACKING SCANDAL However, pals tell Closer that Posh, 43, is desperate to make things work,…

TANIA CLARENCE, 46 Tania, from London, smothered her daughter Olivia, four, and three-year-old twins Ben and Max as they slept in 2014. The children all suffered from a muscle-wasting illness and Clarence admitted to being “overwhelmed.” She was given an indefinite hospital order. JESSICA EDENS, 36 Last month, Jessica Edens, from the USA, shot dead her children Hayden, nine, and Harper, five, in a revenge plot against her estranged husband Benjamin. She also gunned down a woman whom she believed was her ex’s new partner before killing herself. CHRISTY SHEATS, 42 The Texas mother fatally shot her daughters Madison, 17, and Taylor, 22, in June last year on her husband’s birthday, telling him: “This is about punishing you.” Christy who had a history of mental health issues, was later shot…

There’s no denying that Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay’s bromance had a special place in viewers’ hearts, with many eager for the pals to couple up and win Love Island together! Their close friendship – which saw them lock lips and shave their initials into each other’s pubic hair! – even led to calls for their own spin-off show, with some fans dubbing them the new Ant and Dec. So could they replace the Geordie presenting duo? Speaking as he landed back in the UK last week, Chris told us: “I think we’re funnier than them!” One thing the pair bonded over in the villa was their love of rapping. In fact, their musical skills even caught the attention of UK grime artist Stormzy, who spoke to the villa residents…

SANDRA: ‘I can’t wait to marry Bryan’ She’s had a chequered relationship history – including a heartbreaking divorce from reality TV star Jesse James after he admitted cheating on her – but pals say 53-year-old actress Sandra Bullock is set to have her happy ending after her boyfriend of two years, Bryan Randall, popped the question. And pals say model-turned- photographer Bryan, 53, is now set on legally adopting Sandra’s two adopted children: son Louis, seven, and daughter Laila, five. A source says: “Bryan hosted a party at their Beverly Hills home to celebrate Sandra’s 53rd birthday. After dinner, Louis and Laila came down the stairs in matching T-shirts, which had the words ‘Will you marry our mummy?’ written on them. “Everyone was in tears and when Sandra turned around,…

‘Gym selfies are so irritating’ A new survey claims that 62 per cent of Brits take selfies at the gym. I find it so irritating when people are constantly posting gym selfies. Workout videos are fine, but when it’s just a picture in the mirror with the camera in front of their faces, I despise it. On Instagram, there are so many people with a face of make-up and wearing lashes and they reckon they’re there to exercise. I never look like that in the gym, surely it’s a place to work out! Nobody knows if that’s what those people look like because they’re all using apps like Facetune that make everyone into perfect supermodels. I’ve bumped into lots of celebrities who look nothing like they do in their social…

GET HER LOOK KARLIE KLOSS, 24 The supermodel gives us a lesson in off-duty dressing with a pair of wide-legged trousers and knot-front tee. Recreate her outfit with these high-street copies… WHO WORE IT BEST? HAILEY BALDWIN VS JADA PINKETT SMITH Model Hailey and actress Jada had us seeing double when they were both spotted in this see-through August Getty Atelier jumpsuit. Hailey gave hers a sporty vibe with colour-pop aviators and a sleek pony, while Jada went for old-school glam, adding a classic red lip and elegant waves. VERDICT We love both takes on this frothy chiffon number, but Jada just pips Hailey to the fashion post with her glamorous take on the peekaboo trend.

‘I SLEEP IN HUGE KNICKERS!’ 7AM: I tend to wake up early. I’ll usually be wearing a baggy T-shirt and some huge knickers, but if I’ve got friends over I’ll put on my best PJs so they think that’s what I always wear! 7:30AM: Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. But I’m not the best chef – my omelettes look more like scrambled eggs. 8AM: If I have an event, I’ll plan my outfit. Otherwise, I’ll just grab whatever I can find – usually a T-shirt and jeans combo. Most of my clothes are from the high street and I love shopping online. 9:30AM: I’ll head out the door. My bag is usually filled with make-up, including Carmex lip balm, which I take everywhere. 10AM: I start filming…

Is it really worth scanning and stamping cards every time you shop, or is it just a sneaky way for companies to tempt you to spend more? We consulted two money whizzes from Moneysavingexpert.com to get the inside track… WAITROSE “You choose your own offers, so pick 10 of your favourite items and you’ll get 20 per cent off them in store, plus you can get a free hot drink every day if you make a purchase,” says “Coupon Kid” Jordon Cox. “There’s no minimum spend, so even if you just buy a banana for 10p, you can walk out with a free cuppa, saving £2 each day.” TESCO For cheap meals and days out, this scheme is the best. “You can double, triple or even quadruple the value of…

❛THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF TENSION BETWEEN THEM – THEY NEED BREATHING SPACE❜ Her four-year marriage has been marred by drama and rows ever since her husband Kieran Hayler cheated with two of her best friends, which still casts a shadow over their fiery relationship. Now sources close to Jordan say things are so bad, she’s planning on building separate living quarters for herself in the grounds of their sprawling West Sussex home so she can “escape the drama.” NO TRUST Just last month the precarious state of their marriage was laid bare on her new reality show Katie Price: My Crazy Life, when Kieran, 30, revealed he’d caught Jordan, 39 – real name Katie Price – sending flirty messages to DJ Tom Zanetti, even telling him “she loved him…

❛ SHE’S HAD THE TIME OF HER LIFE FILMING AWAY – IT’S FELT LIKE A CONSTANT HOLIDAY❜ She wrapped-up filming Our Girl in South Africa last week after being apart from her husband Mark Wright for the past two months. Now pals say after spending so much time with the cast and crew, Michelle Keegan is feeling torn over returning to life in Essex. A pal says: “Michelle’s had the time of her life in South Africa and said she feels like she’s been on a constant holiday and that filming doesn’t even feel like work because of the bond she’s built with her castmates and crew.” TIME TO ADJUST The pal adds: “They’ve become a big family and Michelle’s been on some amazing trips when they’ve had filming breaks.…

She’s enjoying a holiday with Mon Basra and his wife Rosie, but Kerry’s new friend has something of a colourful past. Mon, 41, was jailed for harassment and blackmail of two women in 2013, once threatening to break a colleague’s mother’s legs. He was branded a “controlling bully” by a judge at Maidstone Crown Court over his treatment of two women. He’d told one of the women to pay him £5,000 or he would break her legs or the legs of her mother and post intimate photos of her online. It’s not Kerry’s first brush with convicted criminals. Estranged husband George was sentenced to six years in prison for blackmail in 2008, but was released in 2011 after serving three. During a split from George last year, Kerry was pictured…

‘My body makes me feel like a trapped prisoner’ She’s the bubbly blonde from Essex who opened up about her desperation for marriage and babies earlier this year. And in a candid new interview, Gemma Collins tells Closer that she feels losing a bit of weight will help her meet her Mr Right and realise her dream of starting a family. Since rising to fame on The Only Way Is Essex in 2011, Gemma, 36, has hit the headlines for her fluctuating size, being a size 14 at her slimmest and a 22 at her largest. But now size 20 Gemma reveals she often questions whether her weight holds her back. She says: “In five years’ time I ideally want to be walking down a lovely beach in Barbados, being…

❛I’M BEING SMART ABOUT MY CHOICES AND I’M PUTTING MY FAMILY FIRST❜ Just two months after Brad Pitt gave a tell-all interview about his divorce from Angelina Jolie citing his struggle with alcohol and admitting he was “boozing too much,” his famous ex broke her silence on their shocking split and the negative impact it’s had on her health. The pair ended their 12-year relationship last September – just two years after an intimate wedding ceremony in France – with Angelina revealing “things got bad” in the build-up to their split. The actress has since moved their six children into a new £19m LA mansion. HEALTH ISSUES Referring to how she’s started a life without Brad, Angelina said: “It’s just been the hardest time – and we’re just kind of…

She was voted by the public as their favourite girl during her time on Love Island, as viewers warmed to her no-nonsense attitude and witty sense of humour. But Montana Brown found her popularity slip in the final two weeks and was voted off ahead of the live final after fans dubbed her “bitchy.” And last week, the 21-year old felt the wrath of her former co-stars after they branded her “horrible” and “boring.” Mike Thalassitis, 24, also took aim at Montana during an Instagram live feed, writing: “Corr, and people thought I was dry,” before claiming: “nobody cares what you have to say.” Speaking to Closer, Chris Hughes, 22, said: “Montana could be horrible. Her opinions were so irrelevant to every situation and everything was aimed at me. I…

In July 2015, Cecil the lion was shot, skinned and beheaded in an incident that sparked horror across the world. Just last week, two years since Cecil’s death, his son, Xanda, met the same fate when he was shot on a hunt in Zimbabwe. It is believed the six-year-old cub had wandered outside the Hwange National Park boundary, into a zone where hunters with permits are allowed to shoot. Hwange released a statement on their Facebook page, saying: “Today we heard that a few days ago, Xanda, the son of #CecilTheLion has been shot on a trophy hunt by Zimbabwe PH Richard Cooke. Xanda is still a young father at 6.2 years old and has several young cubs. “We can’t believe that now, two years since Cecil was killed, his…

‘I’m excited for when the right guy comes along’ She loves showing off her hourglass figure in her skimpy swimwear – but last summer Jess Wright was cruelly mocked when unflattering shots of her in a bikini surfaced while she was on holiday in Las Vegas. Online trolls branded Jess “chunky” and said she’d had “too many dinners down the Sheesh,” referencing the infamous eatery in Chigwell, Essex. She hit back, saying: “What kind of message are we sending out to women and young impressionable girls?!? I am by no means fat, I’m a UK size 10 yet I’m being body shamed for putting on weight. “Not only are these photos hurtful, but they aren’t a true representation of me and how I look right now. Are they going to…

‘It’s part of my job to go out and party’ We’re used to seeing her partying on TV, but fun-loving Sophie Kasaei says she’s feeling at an all-time low after relentless attacks by weight trolls – and says she now hates the way she looks. “I’ve put on weight and I feel so uncomfortable,” she says. “I’m just out of control at the moment with my eating.” “The comments on social media have been horrific,” the 27-year-old reveals, referring to attacks made after she was pictured in a bikini earlier this summer. “I’ve had messages from people telling me to kill myself because I’m so fat. Some people have been absolutely vile and it’s made me lose so much confidence. At the moment, I hate the way I look –…

A recent US study of an IVF clinic looked at how a man’s age affected the chance of a woman conceiving, and found that while the woman’s age had the biggest impact, men’s age also played a part, with younger men having better odds of getting their partner pregnant. CONSIDER HEALTH ISSUES Crucially, this study is based on couples undergoing as many as six cycles of IVF, so they already have fertility problems. It isn’t evidence that all women in their late thirties should trade their man for a younger model to get pregnant. In the research, women in their 20s with a partner aged 30 to 35 had a 73 per cent chance of having a baby but, when the man was 40 to 42, chances fell to 46…

• Kanye accused of having an affair with trans model • Kim fears rumours will cause him to spiral into depression • She vows: “I won’t let these lies ruin us” He’s been forced to deny gay rumours in the past – but last week the spotlight was once again thown on Kanye West’s sex life after transgender model Amanda Lepore made strong hints she once had an affair with the world famous rapper. Making the shock confession in her memoir Doll Parts , the model and self-confessed plastic surgery addict, 49, says an unnamed rapper got married soon after her affair with him ended. She then went on to compare her curvaceous physique to the rapper’s wife, leading many to speculate that she was referring to Kim. This latest…

She’s had a drastic transformation since she first hit our screens on The X Factor in 2010. But while surgery-lover Chloe Khan has undergone three boob jobs, lip fillers and a Brazilian butt lift – a recent nose job left her fearing for her life. The 27-year-old model, who became a millionaire after setting up a web-cam business, had her first nose job in 2014, but admits that she was never fully happy with the results. So when a plastic surgeon’s Instagram page caught her eye last year, she booked herself in at his Ukraine surgery in January this year. “I just really wanted a cute, dolly nose,” she explains. “When I saw his Instagram posts, the noses were exactly what I wanted. But looking back, I wish I’d never…

CLOSER PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: • Don’t rush things – you may need time to cool off. It’s rumoured that Danielle and Gary had been living separately for nearly a year before they announced their divorce, which gave them time to come to terms with it. • Be realistic – friendship won’t work if you’re still harbouring romantic feelings for your ex and hope that by “being friends” you’ll get back together. It only works if you’re both on the same page. • Show respect to any new partners that come along – don’t flaunt your past relationship and try to pull rank over new partners. That’s not fair and will cause problems. • Equality is the key and both parties must put equal work into staying on friendly terms.…

When Paul Hogan received a photo of his two-year-old daughter Macey, along with the text message: “Sorry, just thought you deserved one last picture of her,” he could never have imagined the horror of what would happen next. The message was sent by his ex-partner Cody-Anne Jackson, Macey’s mother, who killed their little girl just two days later. AN UNUSUAL CASE Any case of a child being murdered by their own parent is horrifying, but what makes this even more appalling is that it was the mother who committed the act – and she was not suffering from a mental illness. Latest figures shockingly show that three children a month are killed by their parents in England and Wales – but 95 per cent are committed by the father, making…

AN AMAZING WOMAN This was taken nearly 30 years ago when I was in Tunisia with my mum Janet. I love her style here. She dresses how we do now. I wish I had her sunglasses, too!

It’d be good – we could be like the next Gavin and Stacey.” • While Chris told Closer that a collaboration with Kem and grime artist Stormzy was definitely on the cards, Olivia said she was happy for a career in the spotlight, but wouldn’t use her relationship with Chris for fame. She revealed: “We won’t be doing magazine deals for the sake of it.” • Gabby said that she wants to continue her career as a fitness instructor and teach classes, but hinted she could be set to build her own empire. • Marcel revealed that he would consider a reunion with the Blazin…

When Ricky Wilson signed up as a coach on The Voice in 2013, he had no idea of what was to come next – but despite leaving his revolving chair behind two years later – he’s not been put off doing another talent show. As filming for the latest series of X Factor is now in full swing – with the guests judges yet to be announced – Ricky, 39, wants to throw his hat into the ring and work with his good pal Nicole Scherzinger. The Kaiser Chiefs frontman says: “I’m a big X Factor fan and one good thing about not being on The Voice meant I could watch it on a Saturday night. I’d love to do the show, but I’ve never met Simon Cowell.” Ricky became…

Sister-in-law Michelle Keegan “Michelle is so much fun when we go out clubbing or for cocktails together. She’s a real girlie girl like me, so we just gel.” Getting older “I used to feel quite insecure about ageing, but there are so many amazing women, like Beyoncé and Cheryl, who have hit 30 and are still beautiful and sexy.” Future career plans “Television is definitely the way I want to go. It would be great to land something in a series or sitcom. I’ve been told I have potential, so I’ll stick with it and see where it goes.” Surgery regrets “My boobs went too big when I had them done in 2011 [from a 32C to a 32DD] – I’ve been back to two surgeons to get a reduction…

Afshin Mosahebi, a professor of plastic surgery at the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS), says: “It can be dangerous to alter your body using any trial drug, so it is important to make sure you get proper medication from a bonafide doctor or surgeon. “I suspect that Martina has been injecting melatonin, which stimulates the production of melanin – the dark brown pigment responsible for tanning – in the body. Research is still being done but there are concerns that this kind of hormone could promote the growth of cancerous cells in the body. “Cancer doesn’t happen overnight, so although Martina may not currently notice any negative side-effects on her health, it may impact her in the future.”…

THE SCIENCE EXPLAINED Hyaluronic acid penetrates the dermis, which is like a mattress underneath the skin’s top layer. It boosts skin’s elasticity and hydration level, and forms a permeable layer, which acts as a protective barrier to lock in moisture. This gives you a more youthful appearance. Moisturiser inhabits most beauty wash bags, even those of men! But do we really know what’s in them – or what ingredients we should look out for? Get acquainted with hyaluronic acid – it’s nothing new, but it’s the hardest working water-binding ingredient in the business and it’s popping up in all kinds of skincare products – including make-up. WHAT IS IT AND WHY IS IT SO EFFECTIVE? Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body to lubricate joints and to retain water for…

FAMILY MATTERS HELP KIDS UNDERSTAND THEIR CHANGING BODIES As worrying figures show girls as young as nine want cosmetic surgery, Emma argues we need to embrace our uniqueness I’m so glad I grew up in the ’80s. By the time I came across porn in my teens, magazines were full of women with droopy boobs and swathes of pubic hair. It was a look that at least felt achievable. Now it’s a very different story. There’s a new generation of standards for women’s bodies. No longer is the bush worshipped; instead, women are supposed to present perfectly preened privates. And the worst bit? It’s affecting our little girls. In 2015-16, more than 200 girls under 18 had labiaplasty (surgery to reshape their labia) on the NHS, and over 150 of…
