Set for super-stardom With Kim and Kanye as parents, North West’s path to super-stardom seems already set. The three-year-old is already a fixture on the red carpet, boasts a lavish designer wardrobe to match her style-queen mum and is a Snapchat sensation. Our story on p16 gives an insight into North’s ridiculously extravagant world of £500 gold leaf facials, diamond-flecked nail varnish, plus an army of stylists on call. No expense is being spared to keep the Kardashian brand going – but is Kim creating a future star or future problems? For Kim’s sake, we hope it’s the former!…

When Taylor Swift was pictured in June passionately kissing British actor Tom Hiddleston at her Rhode Island estate in what appeared to be a staged set of pictures only two weeks after her split from ex Calvin Harris, critics quickly labelled the whirlwind romance a “hoax.” There were even reports that the whole affair – which was carefully charted to show the couple’s first kiss, loved-up holidays and meeting each other’s parents – was being filmed for one of Taylor’s pop videos. Predictably, when the split was announced last week, both sides were keen to salvage their reputations after fans poked fun, including one who Tweeted: “There’s a jar of mayonnaise in my fridge that’s lasted longer than Tom Hiddleston & Taylor Swift!” Taylor, 26, was seen strutting around New…

They’ve spent much of the year apart thanks to their clashing work schedules. But last week marked a turning point in Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan’s behaviour – after the former TOWIE star joined his wife for two publicity events in a week for her latest drama, Our Girl . Despite being famed for their loved-up selfies at the start of their romance, recently they had been uncharacteristically silent. But after his wife’s biggest career break – which earned her rave reviews after the first episode of army drama Our Girl aired last week – Mark finally acknowledged her show on social media. Last week, he posted an Instagram shap of Michelle at the show’s launch, writing: “No words… Can’t tell you how proud I am of what she has…

Despite being away from Mark for weeks on end while filming in South Africa earlier this year, Michelle revealed how much she enjoyed it. MICHELLE SAID: “I loved working with the lads. Months down the line, we still speak a lot. We have a group on WhatsApp called ‘Team Sassy…’ I had the best time [in South Africa]. We were there for two months and at first I thought, ‘I’m going to be homesick after one week.’ But I loved every second.” EMMA SAYS: “Michelle seems to revel in revealing how much she enjoyed herself in South Africa. It denies Mark’s value and would fuel any insecurities he has. You’d have thought she’d say: “I missed Mark, but…” When asked which of her co-stars out of Royce Pierreson and Luke…

Dear Prime Minister, I finally found the strength to leave my violent partner after he threatened to kill my unborn child. But I had nowhere to go. In the nine months we’d been together, he’d destroyed my confidence and left me feeling that I’d gone mad. I’d lost all my resources, my friends and my money. Without a refuge I’d have had to stay with him, and I doubt either me or my child would be alive now. Worryingly, I am far from alone. A quarter of all women will experience domestic violence – that’s all you should need to hear to make you realise that these refuges save lives. You say you’re working on a way to exempt refuges from the housing benefit cuts – but that’s not enough.…

She drastically transformed her face while she struggled with her turbulent personal life and retreated from the spotlight. But last week, Tulisa Contostavlos revealed her new “natural” look, admitting she’d got “a bit carried away” with cosmetic surgery in the past and that it had left her looking like “Finding Nemo.” The former X Factor judge was ridiculed for her dramatic “trout pout” in 2014 – which she blamed on an allergic reaction to fillers – when she was pictured leaving court after being found guilty of attacking TOWIE’s Vas Morgan. The 28-year-old singer has since insisted that she’s let the fillers injected into her cheeks dissolve and regrets dabbling with her face as much as she did. Although Tulisa – who retreated from the limelight in 2014 after being…

They’ve spent the past few years exchanging snide insults and last week the spat between former X Factor judge Cheryl and Louis Walsh erupted again after Louis, 64, made another veiled dig at the singer comparing her to Nicole Scherzinger, who has replaced her on the show. Speaking on This Morning, Louis said: “She [Cheryl] was fine, she was really good. But Nicole just works really hard… she [Nicole] sings, she dances, she knows her stuff – and she really mentors.” A source reveals: “Cheryl is always worried about her reputation – it’s hurtful to be made a joke of and to have her work on X Factor publicly slammed. She’s become paranoid that people will now see her as a bit of a joke. She’s also worried about Liam…

When a tragic accident at her hen party left her paralysed, Rachelle Chapman feared she’d never be a mum. But now Rachelle, 30, has a 16-month-old daughter, Kaylee. And she’s finding motherhood easier than she’d imagined. Rachelle – who’s a quadriplegic – says: “All I ever wanted was a little girl. One of the first things I thought after the accident was, ‘What if this means I’ll never be a mum?’ But now we have Kaylee and motherhood is everything I dreamt it would be. Kaylee loves clinging on to my wheelchair and is using it to learn to walk. She’s even learned to climb out of her crib on to my lap as I can’t lift her.” SURROGATE BIRTH In May 2010, Rachelle was celebrating her hen night when…

At the start of her career, Gail Porter dominated TV screens, presenting Live & Kicking and The Big Breakfast before her profile went stratospheric in 1999 when a lads’ mag projected a nude picture of her on to the Houses Of Parliament. But Gail’s glittering career stalled after her marriage to Toploader musician Dan Hipgrave – who she has daughter Honey, 14, with – broke down in 2004. She developed alopecia a year later and suffered a nervous breakdown. In 2011, she was detained under the Mental Health Act, after which was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Now, after everything she’s been through, Gail is determined to move on and see the positives in her life. Gail, 45, says: “My daughter has been a shining light in my life. Incredibly, she…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Chloë Moretz, vs Rita Ora Lilac velvet is bang on point right now and both Chloë and Rita shine in this Alessandra Rich dress. While the Kick-Ass actress adds smart black trews and strappy silver sandals to the mix, singer Rita keeps it simple with metallic courts and a high ponytail. VERDICT A frock like this doesn’t need extras, making Rita our winner this time. STYLE CRUSH! QUEEN OF HEARTS Diane Kruger, 40 We’re head over heels in love with this sheer Elie Saab sequin show-stopper and actress Diane dazzled at the American Film Festival last week. Paired with a chic Charlotte Olympia box clutch and colour-pop red lips, Diane lets the dress do all the talking. We heart! PYJAMARAMA Kris Jenner, 60 While we have…

MEGAN: ‘It’s part of our lives to share things with everyone’ Their fiesty romance and loved-up Instagram posts have earned them thousands of fans – but TOWIE couple Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks took their penchant for a selfie to new extremes last week when they posted a naked snap. AN INTIMATE MOMENT The pair – who have been dating since the start of the year – took the racy snap during a romantic break to Barcelona, stripping off in their hotel bathroom and sharing the racy image to Megan’s 1.4 million Instagram followers. Megan, 23, covered her modesty with her arms and legs while Pete, stood behind her, allowing his girlfriend’s body to conceal his intimate areas as she sat in front of him. The steamy pic amassed more…

“I earn £20,500 a year working in PR, but my wage doesn’t stretch very far in London. Now that the contract on my rented flat is up, I have to move for the third year in a row. With no savings, I’m either going to have to go crawling to my parents for a loan, or get a credit card. “Putting down a deposit of six weeks’ rent, plus estate agent fees and a month’s rent in advance will cost nearly £2,000. I should get my current deposit of £800 back, but not until I move out. My parents have helped me out with the last two moves, but I feel like I should be more financially secure now that I have a stable job. “I’ll be renting with another…

We all feel envy from time to time – it’s completely natural, but not good for friendships. At times, you might feel like everyone else is doing better than you are. Perhaps your friend has been promoted, while you feel stuck in a job that doesn’t fulfil you; or they announce they’re marrying the man of their dreams, while your man avoids the subject entirely – and suddenly your life doesn’t feel quite so shiny. Here’s how to stay positive when your friend seems to be living the life you want… SLAY THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER! • DON’T COMPARE The truth is you’ll fixate on the very best about their lives compared to the very worst of yours. Instead, focus on all the great things you have going on and acknowledge…

MIC’S OLLIE LOCKE ‘I killed a crocodile!’ “At the end of the two weeks, we were starving. There was a caiman crocodile on the island and it was my job to kill it. We didn’t want to, but we ate every single bit. I was wearing a pink Ralph Lauren shirt – I’m going to frame it!” JLS’ ASTON MERRYGOLD ‘I thought I was losing my mind…’ “I was the ‘coconut smasher,’ and I’m now more prepared in life! We had such little water I worried about my throat, so now I don’t run the cold tap. Every day I thought I was losing my mind…” PRESENTER ZOE SALMON ‘Everyone had their moments!’ “There was a hurdle at every corner and everyone had their moments – when I was tired…

TOY STORY 3 THIRD MAGNIFICENT INSTALMENT SAT 17 SEPT, 5.30PM, BBC1 With their beloved owner Andy all grown up and leaving for college, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and co find themselves in a bin bag in the attic. Even worse, they mistakenly end up on the pavement with the trash (read: rubbish, this is an American film). Woody’s quick-thinking saves the day – but not before the gang end up being shipped to a daycare centre, and we all know how bad that’s going to be… KNOCKED UP SETH ROGAN AT HIS BEST SAT 17 SEPT, 10.45PM, ITV Straight-laced and super-sensible Alison (Katherine Heigl) finds herself with child after an unfortunate one-night stand with the not-so-suitable baby daddy Ben (Seth Rogan). Cue complete panic, followed by a very entertaining nine months…

They’ve worked hard to establish themselves as a power couple, but insiders say Victoria Beckham faced fresh heartache last week when Rebecca Loos – who previously claimed she’d had an affair with her husband David – came out of the woodwork once again. AFFAIR ALLEGATIONS The former PA brought back painful memories for the 42-year-old fashion designer more than a decade after the affair scandal came to light. And insiders say Posh told pals the cutting reminder was the last thing she needed with the spotlight back on her as she launched her latest collection at New York Fashion Week last week. A source says: “It’s the worst timing for Victoria. She’s heartbroken because anything to do with Rebecca brings back that awful time, and she feared it could have…

PR guru Mark Borkowski says: “So much of Taylor’s musical success centres on her sharing details of her romantic life and the famous men she’s dated, and her heartache endears her to her loyal fans. Although this break-up doesn’t paint her in a good light, the feud between her and Kim and Kanye earlier this year was probably a lot more damaging to her reputation than this break-up. “Tom hasn’t hit the A-list in America yet, he might be a credible actor and the pictures of him and Taylor that went global – like them frolicking in the waves with the rest of her ‘squad’ – will haunt him. “Their relationship was over so quickly it won’t have a huge impact on either of their popularity as people forget quickly,…

TV body language expert Judi James says: “Michelle is confidently leading the way ahead of Mark, who’s quite literally in her shadow. He seems to be reaching out to her, maybe as a reassuring touch, but she doesn’t react or reach back to hold hands – strange for a couple only recently married. He’s always been an Alpha male who grabs attention everywhere he goes, so this is a role we’ve never seen him in before and his ‘little boy lost’ expression shows he doesn’t know how to handle this new situation.” “Mark then puts his hands into his pockets perhaps as he feels awkward at not getting anything back from her as she strides ahead. It would be normal for a couple to walk side by side, but this…

After posting a picture of her impressive weight loss, insiders say Scarlett Moffatt can’t wait to get into a bikini following reports she’s signed up for the next series of I’m A Celeb!, starting later this year. It’s a huge step up for the star, who rose to fame appearing on Channel 4 show Gogglebox, with her bubbly personality making her an instant hit. FEELING CONFIDENT Scarlett – who is now a size 10-12 after losing 2st and dropping three dress sizes – has also signed up to star in a weight-loss DVD, due out this Christmas, and it seems the only way is up for the 25-year-old. A source says: “Scarlett is so proud of what she’s achieved. She loves showing off her figure now – she’s bought a…

Standing outside a women’s refuge on a quiet, leafy street in south London, it’s hard to know what to expect. Security is vital – the address is strictly confidential and there’s CCTV at the front and back, plus they have a direct line to the local police station and visitors aren’t usually allowed. But the welcome is warm and it’s impossible not to feel instantly at home. Director of operations for Bromley and Croydon Women’s Aid, Lucy Pleass, 46, says: “When women arrive they’re often afraid and unsure what to expect, so it’s vital they feel safe and welcome. Often they’re in tears and in shock that they’ve been through so much. Some literally have nothing – they’ve been brought here by the police, or have come straight from hospital…

She’s not known for embracing a natural look, but TOWIE star Chloe Sims raised eyebrows last week when she was pictured looking remarkably different. Chloe, 33 – who said recently: “I look the same as a lot of 20-year-olds” – is no stranger to cosmetic procedures. And surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe says: “Chloe’s had fillers injected into her lips to plump them up, and also in her chin. The tell-tale sign is that it used to be quite square, but she’s had injections to make the shape more rounded. She’s also had Botox in her forehead.” The star – who is a single mum to Maddie, 11 – has long indulged in cosmetic surgery, and talked openly about her £4,500 Brazilian butt lift to boost her “flat granny bum.” She’s also…

Swigging glasses of bubbly and hitting Essex clubs with her friends, Lauren Goodger burst on to the showbiz scene on TOWIE six years ago as a fun-loving party girl. Now she’s set to make a shock return to the show after four years away. And since overhauling her lifestyle and dropping 4st, going from a size 16 to an 8 at the end of last year, Lauren admits you won’t be seeing her dancing into the wee hours and causing chaos. When we catch up with the 29-year-old – who shaped up by cutting back on alcohol and processed food – she’s looking more confident than ever. “I feel fantastic!” says Lauren, who admits she’s gone up to a size 12 after relaxing her regime a little. “I’m full of…

He’s already worked as her driver and personal trainer – but pals say Kerry Katona is now desperate to make her husband George Kay a TV star and is planning to feature in a reality show with him. SHOWBIZ PLANS The ex con – who was jailed for six years for blackmail in 2008, but only served half his sentence – is now represented by a management team and landed his first showbiz job last week, writing a weekly X Factor column for a website. Meanwhile, Kerry, 36 – who split with George in October after he was accused of assaulting her, but took him back last month when his court case collapsed – is no stranger to the world of reality TV, after starring in popular shows about her…

She was delivered a blow last week when she lost her bitter custody battle with her ex-husband Guy Ritchie over teenage son Rocco, but Madonna issued a defiant comeback, Tweeting: “Sometimes soccer mom’s need to be a…” posting an image of herself in a crown with “bitch” written across the front. The custody battle began in December when Rocco, 16, abandoned Madonna’s Rebel Hearts world tour after a series of fallouts, reportedly caused by her strict parenting. After visiting dad Guy’s London home, Rocco refused to return to the US for Christmas. Despite a judge ruling he had to go back to New York, it was not enforced and Rocco enrolled in a London school. The new ruling means Rocco will remain in London with film director Guy, 47, and…

She credits her three boys for having saved her after navigating her way through a painful divorce from footballer Jamie O’Hara two years ago, and crippling health issues as the result of botched plastic surgery. And now that Danielle Lloyd has found happiness with her electrician fiancé Michael O’Neill, she says they can’t wait to have a baby together – and she’s ecstatic that her psychic has already reassured her she’ll be getting her much-wanted little girl this time round. PREPARING FOR BABY NO 4 “I bloody better get my girl!” laughs Danielle, 32, who is already mum to sons Archie, six, Harry, five, and three-year old George. “I can’t cope with another boy! I went to see a psychic recently and she said it would be a girl so…

She’s lost count of her sexual partners, but Amber Rayne knows it’s over 3,000. She became addicted to sex aged 16, and by 18 she was working as an escort in a bid to fulfil her needs. Since then she’s earned over £300,000 – and has seen up to 20 clients in a single day’s work. Amber, 26, who has a three-year-old son with her boyfriend of four years, says: “I’ve been a sex addict since I was a teen. It’s like getting high on drugs, I crave it constantly – and have even slept with 20 men in a day, which I believe makes me a better mum. I’m calmer as I’m not stressed from lack of sex and I’m providing for my son, too. “Being an escort is…

TV PRESENTER PADDY McGUINNESS, 43, SAYS: “I don’t understand the appeal of a couple posting a naked selfie – why would anyone do that? If you’re supporting a campaign, or there’s another reason behind it, that’s one thing, but it’s a bit odd to just post a pic of you hanging out naked. “In relationships, it’s important to keep some things private and I think that crosses the line. I don’t really understand who wants to see it, either. My social media is very un-showbiz – I like to use it to see what people are up to. If I uploaded a photo of myself naked, that would be the fastest way to lose followers!”…

THE FLARE MICHELLE SAYS: “My normal go-to for jeans is Topshop as they have a great choice of fits; but I’d been looking for a classic flared leg and found this pair at Lipsy. They’re so comfy, and really stylish too. I styled them with a wedge shoe and a biker – easy chic!” GET THE LOOK… Flares are great for balancing out curvy thighs or top-heavy shapes. Take notes from Michelle and wear with heels to avoid looking swamped. Make sure the hems sit below your ankles without touching the floor. THE DRESS ROSIE SAYS: “This dress is by M Missoni – I love the frayed edges and patchwork detail. When it comes to finding daytime jeans, though, I’ll head to River Island. They do different leg lengths, which…

TRADE SECRETS… The changing weather can play havoc with our lips, and while lip balm can help remedy dryness, it’s important to exfoliate weekly to fight off chapped skin. Using your finger, gently rub a pea-sized amount of gritty scrub over your lips for a minute, or use a soft toothbrush in circular motions to buff away any roughness. Rinse away and voilà – your pout will be silky-smooth. Your lipstick will glide on nicely and stay put for longer, too ON TRIAL This week we tried textured nail polishes priced between £1.99 and £16. Here are our top three... 1 JEANS-EFFECT FINISH Although this one wasn’t an exact match for our jeans, we loved the denim-effect finish. The midnight hue and subtle shimmer gave our nails an unusual makeover…

THE MOVES Jessie suffered a minor stroke at 17 and a fractured foot two years ago, so she exercises to feel strong and in control of her health. She isn’t a fan of the gym, so mixes up her routine with 20 minutes of running, sit-ups, squats and lunges. Jessie also credits her energetic stage routines with helping her to keep fit. She says: “Working out and running really clears my head. It’s just freedom, strength and getting rid of negative energy in your mind.” THE FOODS The star tries to avoid alcohol and caffeine and has a protein-rich diet. Typically, breakfast is a cheese and tomato omelette, while lunch is jerk chicken with kidney beans and brown rice, and dinner is grilled salmon or mackerel with veg – and…

Apparently, nearly one in five patients admit they’ve misused A&E at some point; and this year, A&E saw the highest number of patients in the month of June since records began. Lots of patients means lots of waiting, but if you go to the right place you’re more likely to be seen, get treated and get out again faster. Here’s my guide to ensuring you get the speediest medical solution… WHEN TO CALL 999 You should only be calling 999 or turning up to A&E with life-threatening emergencies. These include bleeding that won’t stop, a big fall, crushing chest pain, a severe allergic reaction, a head injury that’s led to confusion, loss of consciousness, a fit that isn’t stopping, breathing difficulties, being in a very confused state, or a serious…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… £150 a month from the age of 12 up until 15. I’d usually spend it on pairs of trainers. MY FIRST JOB WAS… Working in a pub. I earned £6 an hour, but the tips were great!

They split up at the end of August after a romantic summer together in LA – but now insiders say Brooklyn Beckham is planning a heart-to-heart with ex-girlfriend Chloë Moretz, 19, to win her back. The pair – who have been seeing each other on and off since first meeting in 2014 – made their relationship official back in May, and were spotted enjoying dates at Disneyland, local restaurants and SoulCycle classes. But despite their recent split, after reportedly struggling with the distance between them, sources say Brooklyn, 17, is really missing actress Chloë. A source says: “Brooklyn is desperate to meet Chloë as soon as possible. But Chloë’s work schedule and Brooklyn’s school commitments in London make it hard. He plans to tell her how miserable he is without…

She’s transformed from hell-raising party girl on Geordie Shore to successfully presenting primetime TV, but last week Vicky Pattison suffered a blow when a report suggested she’d lost her job on Loose Women after returning to her boozy lifestyle. The report claimed show bosses had become concerned about 28-year-old Vicky’s wild partying habits and feared it was affecting her commitment to the programme. The rumours surfaced after photos emerged showing Vicky looking worse for wear on Love Island star Kady McDermott’s birthday night out in London earlier this month. SHOCK ALLEGATIONS Vicky immediately hit back on Twitter saying: “I would like to set the record straight: I’ve loved my time on @loosewomen but it was only a summer contract… My relationship with all the @loosewomen, the team and @ITV is…

Emma says: “Mark and Michelle are facing intense daily scrutiny and I fear their relationship is like a ticking time bomb. They’ve been spending a significant amount of time apart and they’re kidding themselves if they think they can maintain a long-distance marriage with all their work commitments when things already appear fragile. I worry it may end in a split – and divorce - if they don’t make changes. “All this daily speculation from fans on social media that their marriage is in trouble is also bound to take a toll. Having this constant commentary picking up on every negative thing about the relationship will make them hyper aware of any flaws in their marriage and have them second-guessing everything they do, leading to a vicious cycle of more…

As a member of one of the most famous families in the world – and daughter to power couple Kim Kardashain and Kanye West – it’s no surprise that three-year-old North West is already a big name. And last week, the toddler’s star status went into overdrive when she and her mum Kim Kardashian stepped out in matching £7,000 metallic dresses by label-of-the-moment Vetements as they attended Kanye’s concert in New York. BEAUTY TREATMENTS The reality star – who has been blasted by critics in the past for dressing North in “uncomfortable” leather outfits, an “inappropriate” lace dress and a real fur coat – was once again accused of using her daughter as an accessory to boost her profile. Now sources close to Kim, 35 – who has over 81…

POLLY NEATE, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF WOMEN’S AID, SAYS: “Domestic violence victims have been through enough – they deserve better than services that are continually on the brink of closure.

Landing the lead role in West End musical Ghost should have marked a momentous comeback for Sarah Harding – but after her performance was slammed by critics, she pulled out last week citing a “respiratory tract infection.” After audience members took to social media to say Sarah was “screeching like a banshee,” in the show and “cannot act,” pals say the former Girls Aloud singer, 34, has reached an all-time low as her confidence takes yet another hit. And this has ignited fears she could spiral back to her darker days when she was admitted to rehab in 2011 for depression and alcohol addiction. FEELING CRUSHED Sarah has suffered a series of career setbacks over the past year. She failed to win over Coronation Street fans after a four-episode cameo…

ON LOSING WEIGHT AHEAD OF HER TOWIE RETURN: “After going up to a 12, I recently lost 6lbs and I’m so proud of myself. I’ve been training really hard and eating very healthily. The camera adds 10lbs, so I want to look and feel my best.” ON RUMOURS SHE’LL APPEAR IN THE CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER SPECIAL: “I’d love to do it again. Plus, if [former CBB housemates] Stephen Bear and Katie Price were in there, it would be the craziest house ever!” ON HER SELFIE OBSESSION: “Remember, you should never judge a girl by her Instagram account – there’s so much more to a person than the pictures they post! I’ve decided to take my social media a bit more seriously these…

It hasn’t been the easiest few months for Stephanie Davis. Following her bitter split from Jeremy McConnell in May, she’s had to face her pregnancy alone – Jeremy denies he’s the father – and come to terms with the realisation she may be a single mum. But pals say the actress is smiling again – and it’s thanks to her new man. Last month, Closer reported that the star, 23 – who is five months pregnant – was dating again. Then Steph dropped hints she was in a relationship by sharing a Snapchat image of a mystery man, with his head cropped out and the caption: “Camera shy.” She then teased fans in a blog, writing: “I’m just really happy and I’m going to let things go the way they…

She celebrates her 44th birthday later this month – and it seems Gwyneth Paltrow already has big plans for the year ahead as pals say she now wants a baby with her boyfriend of nearly two years, Brad Falchuk. Insiders reveal that loved-up Gwyneth – who has daughter Apple, 12, and son Moses, 10, with ex-husband Chris Martin – is hoping to get pregnant as soon as possible. A source says: “Gwyneth has told friends she’s trying for a baby with Brad in the hope they can have a child together before it’s too late. They have both spoken to their children [Brad has daughter Isabella and son Brody with ex-wife Suzanne Bukinik] about trying for a baby in a bid to be as open as possible about the situation.…

FAMILY LAW EXPERT KALEEL ANWAR FROM LEGAL FIRM SLATER AND GORDON SAYS: “This outcome – that Rocco is going to live with Guy – isn’t a big surprise, as Rocco’s at an age where his wishes and feelings are the priority when the courts are considering what’s in his best interest. “Rocco has clearly said he wants to stay with his father. If he had a dad who was addicted to drink or drugs or partying too much and wasn’t able to look after him, then the court wouldn’t encourage it, but that’s clearly not the case here. Guy has enrolled Rocco into a good school, he’s given him a stable routine, and allowed him to live a ‘normal’ life away from the limelight. The court realises Guy is perfectly…

Motherhood: “It’s made me a much calmer person and my boys mean everything to me. I love the morning cuddles and putting them to bed.

It’s just important that all our family and friends are there.”…

Sex addiction can be detrimental to your life and it could end up affecting Amber’s relationship or ability to be a mum. It wouldn’t be a good idea for an alcoholic to work in a pub and it’s the same for a sex addict.

How did you find acting with Julie Walters? It was a delight – it really was. The extraordinary thing about Julie is she’s one of the funniest people that ever lived, but she can do it when she has to be serious. She’s completely convincing and very few people can do that. Did you have any misgivings about the controversial script? No, no, no! I believe with all my soul that it’s the job of drama to deal with things that the judiciary’s not very good at, the police aren’t very good at, the politicians aren’t very good at, the civil service aren’t very good at.
