We’re getting a little hot under the collar this week, as talk turns to sex. Michelle Heaton (p40) opens up about how, despite losing her libido after two life-changing operations, things between the sheets are now “exciting and spontaneous”. Plus, one couple (p23) reveal how allowing a camera crew into their bedroom has helped save their relationship, while First Dates’ Fred Sirieix tells us (p33) why we should all be more confident lovers. Phew! Meanwhile, Loose Woman Coleen Nolan chats about life post-divorce (p58), and admits that while she hasn’t turned her back on dating, she’s happier sharing her bed with her dogs! And bearded woman Rene Schwartz (p42) reveals she’d feared her whiskers would prevent her finding Mr Right. She was proven wrong when she met her now-husband Tobias,…

Francine, 43, says, “The closest thing to love is hate – and this is exactly why Katie keeps slamming Pete and bringing up his name whenever she can. The reason she does it is because she still hasn’t really moved on and she still loves him – she’s doing it from passion and her head is ruled by her emotions. She can’t help herself – she wants attention from him and so by bringing up his name when she can and trying to goad him, she’s hoping for a reaction. I think she just wants attention or a friendship with him, because he once meant so much to her. “I honestly don’t think she’ll ever get over Pete. She’s said he was the love of her life – and I…

‘HE’S GOING TO HUGE EFFORTS TO PROVE HOW SERIOUS HE IS ABOUT PUTTING THE PAST BEHIND HIM’ She’s spending the school holidays back home in the UK with her family and friends, leaving her husband Wayne Rooney behind in Washington to get through his jam-packed schedule of football games with D.C. United. But pals close to Coleen Rooney are concerned that leaving the father of her four sons alone following a string of humiliating indiscretions – including his recent 10-hour boozing session with a barmaid in Florida, and being arrested at a US airport in December for “public intoxication and swearing” – could spell disaster. FINAL WARNING A source says, “It’s no secret that Coleen’s been incredibly homesick, and she’s relishing the chance to take the boys home and spend…

High-flying lawyer Annemarie Fletcher, 47, was tricked into giving a man she met online nearly £50,000 in cash and jewellery. Annemarie, who lives in Somerset with her daughters Louisa, 16, and Mia, 12, says, “I’d been on Tinder for nine months before I swiped right on Kris Lyndsay in May 2015. Kris said he was a successful businessman, and we arranged to meet at a local pub for lunch, where he told me that his wife and daughter had died in a car crash in 2012 – but, as it was our first meeting, I felt too awkward to ask for any more details. “Over the next two months we continued to see each other, but Kris never stayed over as we wanted to take things slowly. He was so…

‘I loved the ranch, I didn’t want to come home’ She’s turned down reality shows in the past, but Jenny Powell admits she’s caught the reality bug after recently starring in new series Celebs On The Ranch – and is now eager to take on the I’m A Celeb! jungle. Jenny starred on the Channel 5 show alongside a host of celebrities – including Made In Chelsea’s Mark-Francis Vandelli and Victoria Baker-Harber, Love Island’s Eyal Booker, TOWIE’s Courtney Green and dancer Louie Spence – and the group faced the challenges of working on an Arizona cattle ranch to be crowned the ultimate cowboy or cowgirl. WILD THING Jenny, who lives in Cheshire with her sports therapist fiancé Martin Lowe and daughters Constance, 18, and 10-year-old Pollyanna – says, “I’d never…

BEVERLEY: ‘I won’t stay silent about what happened in my marriage’ She gave a brutally honest account of her marriage breakdown last week, revealing how her Olympic gold medalist husband James Cracknell had put his career goals before his family in his determination to attain sporting success. Opening up after the 46-year-old rower became the oldest ever Boat Race winner, Beverley Turner, 45 – who shares Croyde, 15, Kiki, 10, and Trixie, eight, with her husband of 17 years – said, “James has spoken publicly about his latest feat, demonstrating to his children that you can do anything you set your mind to. “He won’t mind me admitting that I consider that to be b******s. I wouldn’t want my children to view such an exit from familial responsibilities as something…

On 20 April 1999, teenagers Eric Harris, 18, and Dylan Klebold, 17, calmly walked into Columbine High School armed with guns and explosives and began shooting. In less than 20 minutes, the pair had slaughtered 12 of their fellow students and one teacher, before committing suicide. Witnesses revealed how they had laughed as they gunned down their defenceless victims. At the time, it was the deadliest school shooting America had ever seen. GUNSHOTS Survivor Amy Over ran for her life as gunshots rang out around her in the school canteen, killing one of her favourite teachers – she tells Closer the trauma still affects her to this day. Amy, 38, says, “I still have nightmares. When news breaks of another school shooting, I watch with tears in my eyes. I…

‘I’m 50 this year and I’ve started saying yes to everything’ ‘DON’T HOLD ON TO BITTERNESS’ I’ve been divorced twice, both from ex-husbands I’ve had children with [childhood sweetheart Nick Green, whom she was married to for four years, and builder Steve Toms, for three]. I’m so lucky to have exes who have been on exactly the same page as me when it comes to being on great terms for our kids – Finlay, 17, and Amy, 12. It’s not about the grown-ups, it’s about the kids. We may not have lived happily ever after, and we may not be romantically together, but we’re parents, and we’re united in universally loving those kids for ever and ever. We left behind whatever happened between us and that’s why it works so…

With everything from creamy crayons to statement shadows and liquid liners to choose from, we find out if the vibrant hue could be our new go-to for the warm-weather months… WE TRY IT OUT ACTING STYLE EDITOR MATILDA SAYS: “I love a bold colour-pop, and this grassy-green shade didn’t disappoint.

ALL ABOUT YOU INSTEAD OF FEARING CHANGE, EMBRACE IT Research shows that 27% of us feel anxious when faced with change in our lives. Emma explains how to be braver Neuroscientists have pinpointed why new situations give us the heebie jeebies; your brain registers a sort of error code when it is presented with uncertainty, which is why it is such a relief when you start feeling more competent in a new job, or you begin to understand the basics in a new hobby. For some, the error code is so powerful that they decide it is better to be unhappy than uncertain. That’s a real shame, because uncertainty is usually temporary, whereas being miserable can be permanent unless you make a change. Alter the way you perceive new possibilities…

1 JILL DANDO: THE 20 YEAR MYSTERY THIS ONE HAS CLIFF RICHARD THU 25 APR, 9PM, ITV The Beeb has already given us its documentary on Jill Dando; this is ITV’s version – and it has Barry George (the British man who was wrongly convicted for the television presenter’s murder), plus Sir Cliff Richard, who became pals with Jill after meeting her when she was doing the Holiday programme in Austria (and there’s some lovely footage of them at a ball). Newsreader Julie Etchingham looks into the tragic case – which remains unsolved. 2 LOVE YOUR GARDEN JAZZING UP A PATIO EASTER MON, 8PM, ITV Salford twins Rita and Betty (aged 87) are pretty thrilled to meet Alan Titchmarsh.

Leon works nights and needs cash. So even though their friends think they’re crazy, for them it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.

Speculation that a reunion was on the cards reached fever pitch last week, after Cheryl and Liam Payne posted the same caption on their Twitter accounts reading, “Things are about to get tasty.” But when it was revealed they were simply teasing a new advert for a radio show, angry fans lashed out at the former couple for misleading them. One commented online, “Liam Tweeted like this… Cheryl doing the same. Are they getting back together?” While another wrote, “Sorry Cheryl, I really do love you but I don’t play along with teasers or mind games. If you got something to say, say it!” Other angry fans wrote, “This is why I don’t get excited with you any more,” and, “Really all the hype for this?” And friends say Cheryl,…

She admitted regretting having facial fillers injected into her jaw last October – insisting, “I looked like The Mask” – and vowed never to have them again. But last week, Lauren Goodger was spotted looking drastically different once more, sparking concern she’d taken her quest for physical perfection to worrying extremes again. One fan commented, “She looks like a cartoon,” while another added, “Her face looks almost painful, as if it’s been stretched to its limits.” Surgeon Mark Ho-Asjoe tells Closer he believes Lauren, 32 – who has admitted in the past to having lip fillers, Botox, a boob job, a nose job and non-invasive body sculpting – has had of a number of new cosmetic enhancements. He says, “Lauren’s face has such extreme definition now and is much less…

She embraced her “GC” alter ego at a charity bash last week, entertaining the star-studded crowd as she belted out Shirley Bassey’s Big Spender and seductively gyrated up against boyfriend James “Arg” Argent, who joined her on stage. But reality star-turned- singer Gemma Collins’ first big performance was overshadowed by comments from fans, who expressed their concern over Arg’s ever-increasing size. One said, “What has happened to Arg? This is his biggest yet. He has done so well in the past. I hope he gets back on track.” Another said, “He’s bigger than Gemma now, which is scary!” BINGE EATING In turn, fans praised Gemma’s recent 2st weight loss, saying, “She looks great,” as the star posed in an all-black ensemble. Now pals say the ex-Dancing On Ice star, 38…

When arranging to go on an internet date, the Suzy Lamplugh Trust advises: • Tell someone where you are going and who you are meeting. Check in with them before, during and after the date. Remember to take a charged phone, with credit. • Agree that if you don’t contact your friend as arranged, then they should come to check on you. • Take money for a taxi home, or plan a route back on public transport. Don’t share a taxi back with someone you don’t know. • Don’t give away any personal information – such as your home address – on a first date. • Don’t leave drinks or devices, such as your mobile phone, unattended. • Always carry a personal alarm.…

She’s interviewed a wealth of stars across her 33-year career, but Jenny tells Closer that one of her most memorable moments is scoring the first TV interview with Cheryl – when she was just eight years old. The presenter explains, “I did a Saturday morning show and Cheryl [who trained at The Royal Ballet School] did a beautiful dance sequence for us – she was so sweet and I think I was her first interview.” And the encounter clearly made an impression on young Cheryl, as Jenny says the pair talked about their first meeting at a celebrity bash years later. She says, “Cheryl came up to me at a party recently and said she remembered my interview with her. It’s crazy to think about her as that little girl…

They’ve been hosting This Morning together for almost 13 years and been happily married since 2010. Here – ahead of the much anticipated This Morning Live event – Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes, who are parents to 16-year-old son Jack, reveal the secrets of their perfect partnership. You obviously both love your job – what’s the best part? E: When you do something you love, you never work a day in your life, so that is what sustains you. Some days, I marvel and pinch myself and look at all the people I have met and who, over the years, you become friendly with, and that’s really nice. R: One of the best parts of the job is that I get to work with my husband, and that might surprise…

‘WE GOT ON WELL AND SHE MADE ME LAUGH, BUT THERE WAS JUST SOMETHING MISSING’ When Closer spoke to Married At First Sight’s Jack just a few weeks ago, he said he thought wife Verity – who he met for the first time when she walked down the aisle to marry him – could be The One. But just three months after their big day, the pair are now divorcing – and their decision to split has shocked fans, who had watched the seemingly happy couple grow closer after their wedding day. CHEMISTRY Now IT consultant Jack, 26, reveals that, for him, the spark just wasn’t there. He says, “We got on well, and Verity always made me laugh, but there was just something missing. It was a decision I…

Sue Klebold was at her office when she heard there had been an incident at her son’s school. By the time she’d arrived home, it had been confirmed that Dylan was one of the shooters. She said, “I remember thinking, if this is true, if Dylan is really hurting people, he has to be stopped. And then, in that moment, I prayed that he would die.” As a child, Dylan had been nicknamed “sunshine boy” because of his mane of blond hair. He played baseball, built ships out of Lego, and was read bedtime stories. As a teenager, he had friends and went to parties. There were never any guns in Dylan’s home. Sue said, “I thought of myself as a good mum. Helping my children to become caring, healthy…

The past few years haven’t been easy for Michelle Heaton, with health scares, life-changing operations and an early onset of the menopause. But she insists she’s in a good place, largely thanks to her relationship with husband Hugh Hanley being stronger than ever – especially their sex life. The former Liberty X singer, 39, who underwent a double mastectomy in 2012 and a hysterectomy in 2015 to reduce her risk of developing cancer, was previously terrified her health issues would tear apart her marriage after she lost her libido and suffered fluctuating mood swings. PASSION But Michelle – who shares Faith, seven, and AJ, five, with Hugh – now says her relationship is better than ever, and reveals, “I’m really happy at the moment. Life is busy, but good. Hugh…

Chloe Sims, 36 The TOWIE star looks like an extra from an ’80s workout video in this eye-popping get-up. There’s so much here fighting for attention that we don’t really know where to look first.

Just days after Closer last caught up with Coleen Nolan in August, the Loose Women star was plunged into a dark few months. An on-screen spat during an interview with How Clean Is Your House? star Kim Woodburn left her facing horrific abuse from online trolls, and she made the dramatic decision to cancel all work commitments and step away from the limelight. “It was awful, it was almost a breakdown of sorts,” she admits. “I was still in the throes of my divorce [from ex Ray Fensome] and hadn’t taken time to deal with it as I was working seven days a week. My sister, Linda, had been diagnosed with secondary cancer, too.” Kim had been invited onto Loose Women to reconcile with Coleen, after they had infamously fallen…

Unlike Christmas, Easter is a time when you don’t necessarily have to stick to a traditional way of doing things and more and more people are choosing to celebrate the day in their own unique way. Whether that’s a delicious roast dinner with all the trimmings, chocolate eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner (our personal preference), an Easter egg hunt for the kids, or getting together with friends to enjoy the first picnic of the year (weather permitting), the choices are endless. But however you choose to spend the day, pop along to your local Costcutter, where you’ll find everything you’ll need – and at prices you’ll love. EASTER EGG ICE CREAM SUNDAE INGREDIENTS • 1 chocolate Easter egg (of your choice) • Ready-made chocolate ice cream • Ready-made vanilla…

‘ DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR A MALE PILL’ Headlines have heralded a male contraceptive pill breakthrough, but Dr C thinks it’s years off – and says that’s no bad thing! In a trial, 40 men took a daily contraceptive pill and it worked with no significant side-effects. It feels like we’ve been told a male pill is “just around the corner” for years, yet even the researchers say it’s a decade away – at best. HORMONAL DISRUPTION This new trial is interesting, but I’m not convinced. Hormonal treatments disrupt the male body far more than female, because women have a cycle that you can tap into and tweak. Even when men take a low dose of a testosterone blocker for hair loss, quite a few notice a drop in…

7 WAYS TO SAVE A TENNER A DAY! We asked Consumer Savings expert Dilusha Hettiralalage, from Codes.co.uk, for her handy tips for putting over £300 a month back into your pocket – without even noticing SWITCH TO TAP WATER The Mintel Bottled Water Report in 2017 highlighted that 76% of the UK population drinks bottled water every day, spending £2.4 billion a year. It’s a costly – and environmentally unfriendly – habit, especially when tap water is completely safe to drink in this country and just as hydrating.

Maya and Jacob [played by Joe-Warren Plant] are caught out; what can you tell us about that? Leyla has convinced Maya to join everyone on a big night out, saying she needs a bit of fun. Maya is very distracted – she doesn’t want to be there – and there’s an awkward moment early on when David [Matthew Wolfenden] is planning to propose to her. Maya blurts out, “Please don’t; in fact, don’t propose to me, ever!” Which is brutal and incredibly painful for David, who goes and gets drunk. What happens next? David is pouring his heart out to Tracy [Amy Walsh], and they end up having a bit of a drunken kiss. At which point, Maya walks over and sees it. Obviously, she has no moral high ground…

• A decade after their divorce, Jordan tells Closer’s Lily Smith, “Pete brings so much stress to my life” • Reveals her agony over co-parenting their kids • Admits she finds it “very hard” to trust people She bounced back after narrowly avoiding bankruptcy last year following a troubled spell that left friends and family fearing for her wellbeing. And Jordan’s recovery continued last week with the launch of her kids’ clothing line. SCATHING But while the mum-of-five may now seem focused on the future, she couldn’t avoid bringing up the past, choosing to make another scathing dig at ex-husband Peter Andre – dad to Junior, 13, and Princess, 11 – at the launch, before taking a swipe at third husband Kieran Hayler, dad to Jett, five, and Bunny, four.…

She’s reportedly helping mother-to-be Meghan Markle with the interior design of her new home, Frogmore Cottage, as she awaits the arrival of the royal baby, while her best pal Tana Ramsay welcomed her fifth child just two weeks ago. And insiders reveal that seeing her friends so loved-up and happy in family life has started to make Victoria Beckham feel she’s missing out, and she’s longing for that same excitement of having another baby with her husband, David. A source says, “Vic is pleased to see her friends so happy, but she can’t help but compare it to her own life. While Meghan and Tana seem to be on cloud nine, Vic spends a lot of time working hard on her fashion business while David is away, and she’s craving…

‘HE KEEPS ME GROUNDED – I FINALLY FEEL LIKE I KNOW WHAT NORMALITY IS’ She suffered heartache in 2014 when she saw her first marriage to footballer Jamie O’Hara collapse, after he was caught cheating. But there was fresh happiness for Danielle Lloyd last week when she wed her electrician fiancé of three years, Michael O’Neill, in a secret ceremony in Dubai – before jetting off to the Maldives for a romantic honeymoon. Opening up to Closer shortly before her big day, the mum-of-four, 35 – who has sons Archie, eight, Harry, seven, and George, five, with ex Jamie; and Ronnie, 18 months, with Michael – revealed why her second marriage is for keeps. STUCK IN A BUBBLE The former glamour model revealed, “Michael’s the most amazing dad. I work…

He’s gone from being labelled the X Factor “joke act” in 2012 to a household name – winning Big Brother soon after and landing a coveted role as a presenter on This Morning in 2014. But away from the glamour of TV, Rylan Clark-Neal, 30 – who’s married to former policeman Dan Neal –insists he’s the same person behind closed doors, and loves unwinding in a tracksuit. He says, “I like to go home, sit in a tracksuit, eat junk food in front of the TV and watch repeats of classics like Birds Of A Feather and Keeping Up Appearances. That’s my idea of bliss! I’m actually a bit of a boy. No one believes me when I tell them, though! When I’m at home there’s zero make-up, tracksuit on,…

‘Made In Chelsea is a bit boring now’ She split up with Joshua “JP” Patterson, father to their 22-month-old daughter, India, last September, three years after they first got together – but Binky Felstead hasn’t let the break-up hold her back. Instead, she’s been busy establishing herself as a fitness guru, while throwing herself into motherhood. The 28-year-old met JP during filming for Made In Chelsea in 2015, and despite attempts to make their on-off relationship work, the pair broke up for good one year on from the birth of their daughter. At the time, Binky revealed, “We realised we’re on very different paths – although we still adore each other.” She continued, “There are no secrets and no one has been hurt in any way.” HAPPY ALONE Now Binky…

Teenage years are notoriously difficult for boys and girls, with spots appearing and hair sprouting in unusual areas. But 14-year-old Rene Schwartz was horrified when thick black hair began growing on her chin and cheeks. In an attempt to tackle her whiskers, she began shaving every day, but still couldn’t hide her 5 o’clock shadow. Frustrated, she finally gave up shaving five years ago, embracing her face fuzz to begin living as a bearded woman. ASHAMED The 36-year-old classical singer, who legally changed her name to her nickname Little Bear in 2014, says, “I was so ashamed of my face, I’d shave every morning. My face was left raw, so I’d pile on make-up to hide it. But in 2014, I decided enough was enough and let my beard grow.…

Coleen ended her marriage to Ray in February last year, but they have remained close. She says, “Once you’ve decided a relationship is over, try to focus on how great the good times were and not the negatives. Ray and I were together for 17 years, and 14 of those were fantastic, but it just stopped working in the end. I don’t focus on the end though, what’s done is done. We have a gorgeous daughter we both adore, and life is so much easier if you get on.”…
