The TOWIE cast are rarely seen without a set of manicured nails or perfectly coiffed hair – and their mums are just as glamorous. Last week, Billie and Sam Faiers’ mum Suzie Wells, 52, looked stunning as she posed in a bikini on a Maldives beach, while Carol Wright (Mark and Jessica Wright’s mum) opened up about having her second boob job at 61, after promising herself a new pair of implants for her 60th birthday. “I feel so much more confident. I’m 61 and there’s nothing to be ashamed of,” she said, after admitting she’d previously been left feeling like “the unsexiest woman on the beach”. She added, “We’re not going to have the most amazing boobs by my age and if you want something done like that, then…

JULIA, 54 ‘I love how exercise makes me feel’ Pretty Woman star Julia Roberts may look fab in a swimsuit, but she admits she isn’t a big fan of exercising. Julia, who works out with a trainer twice a week and does yoga, says, “I don’t love exercise, but I do love how I feel afterwards. Accomplishment, clarity, energy, strength, joy… these are all things I give myself through working out, and I can feel it in everything I do.” The actress, who is mum to 17-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and son Henry, 14, is also a fan of mindful eating – and gets the whole family involved. “We definitely try to eat mindfully,” she revealed. “As I always say to my kids, ‘You have to eat the good…

Molly Loyale spends her down-time as her furry alter-ego, Pepper, when she dons a skin-tight Lycra playsuit with a doggy hood, paws and tail, and lives out a fantasy life as a dog. The last time Molly, 27, spoke to Closer two years ago, she explained how the pandemic had been tough for her and husband, Spencer, 28, who also dresses up as a puppy named Daring. The pair struggled to adjust to a life stuck indoors, unable to go for walkies with their other doggy pals in the “puppy play” scene. X-RATED FUN But now, Molly, 29, is revealing that Spencer isn’t her only “animal” partner. Before meeting Spencer at an event in 2017, she’d already become close with Buck, a human horse. While Buck never wanted a committed…

Five years ago, Leanne Wilson experienced a series of tragic life events. She was working in a high-pressure job she hated, her dad passed away suddenly, and she broke up with her partner after he had an affair with her friend. What’s more, she was deeply unhappy about her weight, despite longterm attempts to lose the pounds. Knowing she needed to make some changes, Leanne embarked on a lifestyle overhaul. Not only did she lose a staggering 13st, she also had therapy and swapped her high-powered career for a job as a postal worker, which she loves. Leanne, 37, who lives in Whitham, Essex, says, “I now earn a tiny fraction of what I did before, but I’ve never been happier. I love my job so much – it’s great…

HOW EXCITED ARE YOU FOR THE NEW SERIES AND CELEBRITIES? CHRISTOPHER: I get excited each year – it’s like the beginning of a new school term. It’s a fresh group of celebrities and what’s exciting is watching all of their personalities come out and how they perform on the ice as we get to know them a little bit more. Every time we do something that’s live, we never know what’s going to happen. ARE YOU EVER TEMPTED TO STOP PERFORMING AND STAND AT THE SIDE OF THE RINK? JAYNE: I think our bodies will tell us when the time has come [when we’re unable to perform] but we’re lucky we still can and we still get a lot of enjoyment out of it. HAS THERE BEEN A CLEAR WINNER…

1 HALLWAY HERO Jackets, bags and boots cause clutter the moment you enter the house, so create a dedicated space to neatly arrange the lot with a two-in-one coat and shoe bench. Use wicker baskets on the shelves to squirrel away hats, scarves and kids’ shoes smartly. 2 WALL TIDY Stash nappies, toiletries and more in a pocketed wall or door hanger.

Modern parents feel the pressure to keep their kids occupied every second of the day. This demonstrates how loving and engaged you are, but it also means that you have very little time for yourself and risk burning out. ENCOURAGE THEM Children – even very young ones – need time without you being involved in their play. Research shows that even infants benefit from spending time independently engaging with the world around them. As long as they are safe, it is absolutely OK to make yourself a coffee and curl up on the sofa to chill. See this as an opportunity for your child to learn the art of entertaining themselves, and make sure you praise them for the time they spend on tasks independently to reinforce this behaviour. For…

GET ON THE ELECTORAL REGISTER Even if you voted in the most recent elections, you could have dropped off, so go to gov.uk/register-to-vote to add your name. It can bump up your score as lenders use it to confirm your identity and that you live where you say you do. It’s also seen as a sign of reliability. PAY BILLS ON TIME Missing a credit card repayment looks bad on your file, and the “marks” left by missed or late payments can hang about for six years, so either set up a direct debit or, if you can, repay your card in full each month. The same applies for all your bills – gas, electric, water, broadband, council tax, mobile phone, so set up direct debits, or pay bills as…

CORONATION STREET SUSPICIOUS SAL What with Tim sneaking about behind Sally’s back to arrange his own funeral, and sinking endless cuppas with Aggie, Sally is quite rightly wondering what the Dickens is going on. Putting a tracker on his phone, she finds him plonked at a hotel with two glasses of champagne. Sal assumes he’s there with his “fancy woman”, but later in the week he collapses, and it all comes out that he needs a triple heart bypass! Meanwhile, Bernie goes in for a snog with Dev… HOLLYOAKS A DANGEROUS GAME Ollie won’t hear a bad word against Becky, and even after the danger she put him in at the hospital fundraiser, he’s on the scene when she decides to rile up a grieving James. This leads to James…

Posing in a sheer dress over the New Year, Rebel Wilson wowed fans by showing off her amazing figure, two years after embarking on her epic weight-loss journey. One fan responded to her pictures on Instagram by posting, “You’re looking so fit and fabulous”, while –another wrote, “You’ve lost more weight and you look so healthy.” And friends say Rebel, 41 – who’s maintained her 5st weight loss since making 2020 her “year of health” is now enjoying the added motivation of a budding romance with professional athlete and fellow Australian, tennis star Matt Reid, 31. A source says, “Since overhauling her lifestyle, Rebel’s become a self-confessed ‘fitness addict’, and working out has become a huge part of her life, which is what has connected her and Matt. “Being with…

She’s mum to two of Essex’s most glamorous stars – Sam and Billie Faiers – but at 52, Suzie Wells looks just as gorgeous in a bikini as her daughters, with each swimwear snap she posts on social media receiving thousands of likes from followers. And when Closer speaks to Suzie – who is tanned and toned after her Christmas Maldives break with daughter Billie’s side of the family and friends, including Ferne McCann – she reveals she feels sexier than ever. “I’m more confident now than I was in my twenties. As I’m getting older, I think I accept myself for who I am and I think you’ve got to make the best of it,” she says. “Whenever we go on holiday, the girls are always saying, ‘Come on…

The hype over the Sex And The City reboot was short-lived amid its anti-climactic return last month – with fans feeling the absence of its most electric character, Samantha Jones. And last week, many speculated that Sarah Jessica Parker, 56, Cynthia Nixon, 55, and Kristin Davis, 56, were cleverly trying to coax their fourth leading lady Kim Cattrall, 65 – who played highly-sexed PR-guru Samantha – back for a second series of And Just Like That, with Carrie sending her long-time pal a series of texts which included, “I miss you” in a recent episode. One fan wrote, “Texting Samantha… they’re clearly hoping she will be back, but I don’t think she will!” But sources tell Closer that Kim has “no regrets” about her decision to snub the revival –…

Former Love Island winner Dani Dyer, 25 – who had her baby Santiago last January – recently hit out at trolls on social media for criticising the way she parents her son and for the milestones he’s reached and when. “Mum-shamers” really are a thing and it amazes me how complete strangers feel like they have a right to comment on how you live your life or parent your child. Luckily for me, everyone has been pretty positive about how I’ve taken to motherhood, but there’s the odd troll. I think with regards to being a mum, you just have to do what’s right for you and your baby, and ignore any criticism. Motherhood has totally changed me as a person and given my life a whole new purpose. I…

Scan the QR code for more tips or search for @TheBoostUK on Instagram! The third Monday in January – this year the 17th – is dubbed “Blue Monday” and is described as the saddest day of the year. According to experts, it’s down to a combination of factors, such as the weather – up to 20 per cent of people in the UK suffer from a form of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) – financial pressures after Christmas and the come down from the festive season. The Samaritans says that 20 per cent of people in the UK experience depression at this time of year, compared…

She’s firmly cemented her place as social media’s “Queen Of Clean”, amassing nearly 250k followers who can’t get enough of her household tips. But if you think domestic goddess Lynsey Crombie scrubs and polishes for hours on end, you’d be mistaken. In fact, she believes most tasks can be completed in as little as five minutes. Lynsey, 42, tells Closer, “Cleaning should never feel overwhelming or time-consuming. Think of your house like a cake, and slice it up into eight or so parts. Work your way through each slice bit by bit. If you only manage to clean one bedroom over the weekend, that’s still a big piece – save the rest for the following weekend. I give myself five to 15 minutes to do one task, whether it’s clearing…

YOUR GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL ISSUES AND FAMILY LIFE WITH PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPIST EMMA KENNY The past two years have been physically, psychologically and financially draining. If you are feeling worn out, try to muster the energy required to get the most out of your down time. Keeping a journal is an excellent reflective tool that isn’t just great for memories, it also serves to solidify how much you enjoy experiences to positively reinforce good feelings, so invest in a notepad and start jotting down your daily thoughts and activities. Also list the things you feel grateful for, as this has been shown to increase feelings of happiness and reduce stress. Having something to look forward to is also important, so make some plans to either work towards or simply to enjoy…

MAFS STAR MEGAN WOLFE, 26, ON HOW SHE LOOKS AFTER HER BODY AND MIND... I MEDITATE EVERY DAY... I trained in mindfulness, so sometimes I’ll use some of the tapes from my course, and sometimes I’ll do some very slow yoga. Just moving my body in the morning and taking that little bit of time out every day sets me up and aligns my energy. GETTING UP AT 6AM IMPROVES MY ENERGY LEVELS... I read a book called Change Your Schedule, Change Your Life [by Dr Suhas Kshirsagar] which teaches the importance of consistency with sleep. Practising good sleep habits is crucial for me as I’m someone who struggles to get up in the morning. So going to bed at 10pm and getting up at 6am every day helps me.…

The Queen will no doubt be glad to see the back of 2021 – a difficult year which saw the death of her beloved husband Philip, her son Prince Andrew embroiled in a sexual assault lawsuit, and her grandson Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle make damaging allegations about the royals. And while this year should be one of her most memorable ever – as she celebrates her Platinum Jubilee in June to mark 70 years on the throne as the longest-serving British monarch ever – it looks certain to be tainted by imminent dramas set to unfold. Prince Andrew has constantly been in the headlines after Ghislaine Maxwell – a long-term friend of his and the convicted sexual offender, the late Jeffery Epstein – was found guilty on…

J-LO FEARS BEN MIGHT BREAK HER HEART AGAIN This month it is 18 years since Hollywood’s golden couple, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, ended their engagement – leading to what J-Lo described as her “first real heartbreak”. The pair – who delighted fans when they got back together last April – called time on their two-year romance in 2004 amid reports Ben Affleck, 49, got cold feet. But despite spending the festive season playing happy families together following their reunion, insiders say J-Lo, 52, is starting to worry that history could repeat itself. A source says, “Now the honeymoon period is over and real life has kicked in, Jen’s started to panic that Ben is going to back out again and break her heart like he did all those years…

DON’T IGNORE THE SIGNS OF AGEING – WORK WITH THEM “As you get older, your skin becomes less firm, so I use body scrubs and creams regularly, and I’m going through the change at the moment, so I take supplements like vitamin D, turmeric and magnesium to look after my joints.” BANISH GREYS WITHOUT DESTROYING YOUR HAIR “I’ve noticed the grey hairs around my hairline, but instead of bleaching my hair like I used to, I’ve been touching up the grey with hair dye using a small root touch-up brush – so the rest of my hair has stayed shiny and healthy.” MAKE SIMPLE DIET SWAPS “I cook from scratch 99 per cent of the time, as I like to know what I’m putting in my body. But there are…

As one of the original cast members of hit MTV show Geordie Shore, which hit our screens in 2011, Charlotte Crosby quickly made a name for herself has one of the hardest partying of the gang with her raunchy hook-ups, boozy bust-ups and infamously wetting her bed while drunk. But for Charlotte, 31, the endless nights of partying in Newcastle during filming for the show left her confessing that she was unhappy, unfit and unhealthy. She overhauled her lifestyle in 2014 and lost 3st through finding a love of fitness, and has managed to maintain her weight ever since. She released a best-selling fitness DVD called Belly Blitz and has just launched a new app called Blitz n Burn. And Charlotte tells Closer that while she still loves a night…

When 18-year-old nanny Louise Woodward was accused of violently shaking a baby to death, the case gripped the public on both sides of the Atlantic. The teenager, from Cheshire, was working as an au pair in Boston, USA, caring for eight-month-old Matthew Eappen when she was accused of inflicting horrific brain injuries which left him on a life-support machine. When Matthew heartbreakingly died in February 1997, Louise was found guilty of second-degree murder but much to the anger of the prosecution, on appeal, her charge was reduced to involuntary manslaughter and she was released, having served just 279 days in jail. Now a new three-part documentary airing this week re-examines the case. Featuring in the programme is neurologist Dr Patrick Barnes, who gave vital evidence that helped convict Louise –…

Brought up by a super-organised mum, and with a thrifty grandma who taught her to make do and mend, Nicola Lewis has always found joy in tidying. So, after leaving her job in investment banking in 2017, she became a professional declutterer, launching her own company and brand, This Girl Can Organise. Nicola, 47, says, “I love my job.

DR CHRISTIAN GIVES HIS TAKE ON THE HOT HEALTH TOPICS OF THE WEEK A trial for a new type of weight-loss surgery is underway. It aims to turn off people’s hunger hormone, ghrelin, which is what a lot of bariatric procedures do, but this one is much less invasive. Weight-loss surgery doesn’t just reduce your ability to absorb food by shrinking your stomach, for instance, it also removes a portion of the stomach where ghrelin is mainly produced – and ghrelin tells you you’re hungry. That’s why it’s often hugely helpful for morbidly obese people who have underlying causes for their weight gain and for whom nothing else works. For most of us, though, there are other ways to influence our hunger hormones without surgery. EAT ‘REAL’ FOOD In research,…

Is it just me, or is this the month when time almost seems to stand still? But perhaps that’s just because, for me, the wait for the first pay cheque of 2022 already feels like an eternity – after all, there’s a price to pay for my December sparkling wine habit. But it’s not all doom and gloom this January – this is the month of dating, when apps see a spike in sign-ups and interaction between singles. While my bank balance and my liver won’t allow me to meet up with dates for drinks and dinners, and most of my mates are hibernating, I’ve still got plenty of time for winter walks and coffees. But with so much time on my hands, it’s hard to know how long these…

HELPING YOU SPEND WISELY, SAVE MORE AND EARN BETTER If you’re popping on a podcast in the car or while cooking dinner, listening to one about money might not be the first thing that occurs to you, but there is now an abundance of jargon-free, genuinely entertaining podcasts out there, all designed to help you save and make money and improve your financial knowledge. A survey by saving and investing app Moneybox found that seven out of 10 millennial women say they were never taught to manage their cash, and another survey by UBS bank showed that two thirds of us admit to deferring to our husbands or male partners regarding long-term financial decisions, with 85 per cent of us feeling our male partner knows more about investing than we…

GET STRICT ABOUT CLEANSING Cleansing is essential to guarantee that not a scrap of make-up, grime or pollution stays sitting on skin. It’s important to cleanse twice in the evenings – the first time to sweep away make-up and SPF, and the second to actually clean skin. A toner is an easy extra step to ensure skin is free of grime – look for options using blemish-busting salicylic acid. APPLY A DETOXIFYING MASK There are some treatments that work magic right in front of your eyes, and this is one of them. It uses clay to draw out impurities, and you can literally see the pores clearing out as it gets to work and dries. It went viral for a reason – it just works. Use weekly to keep skin…

What to expect? PHILLIP SCHOFIELD, 59: Every year it’s always stepped up – and hopefully we’ll be back with an audience, which would be lovely.

You’ve got Oti Mabuse joining the judges’ panel? PHILLIP: I adore John [Barrowman] and we’ll miss that larger-than-life personality, but Oti will be the one to pick the contestants up on their dancing skills and that’s really important. HOLLY: I think Oti is going to be fantastic. I’m a huge fan of…

11-17 JANUARY IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY THIS WEEK Every now and then, we go through stages when the things we want change; when what we valued last year or even 10 years ago, is no longer the same.
