Heartbroken Sharon Osbourne confirmed last week that she’d moved out of the LA home she shares with her rocker husband Ozzy amid claims he’d cheated with a celebrity hairstylist 22 years his junior. The 63-year-old admitted she doesn’t know if she and Ozzy, 67, will stay married because she hasn’t figured out what she wants. As Closer’s therapist Emma Kenny reflects on p7, it’s harder to move on when you’ve spent over 30 years with the same person – it’s like leaving the biggest chapter of your life. Whether she forgives or not remains to be seen, but sometimes we need to let go of the life we planned in order to have the one that’s waiting for us.…

Closer psychologist Emma Kenny says: “Sharon has taken Ozzy back each time he’s cheated and put up with more than most women would. But if the latest affair turns out to be true – and she takes him back again – there’s a danger that Ozzy will cheat again as he knows it’s behaviour he can get away with. They’ve built their lives together and are obviously deeply in love and close friends. But Ozzy is a man of extremes and she knows she can’t change or curb his behaviour. It’s harder to move on when you’re in your 60s and you’ve spent over 30 years with the same person – it’s like leaving the biggest chapter of your life. But Sharon needs to accept that the relationship is flawed…

They’ve been hit by intense speculation that their one-year marriage is in trouble – and their frosty appearance at last week’s BAFTAs sent the rumour mill into overdrive. Now insiders say Michelle Keegan will do whatever it takes to salvage her relationship with Mark Wright. And pals say the pair, who visited LA in December for meetings with TV networks, would even be prepared to move there for a fresh start. A source says: “Michelle is devastated that her marriage has hit a rocky patch so soon and she’s told her inner circle that she feels she has to make things work between them. She still feels that she can have her fairy-tale ending with Mark and wants to stop them growing apart. “She wants to turn things around. She’s…

Kerry Needham has never given up her 25-year search for missing son Ben and last week she was given fresh hope that he might still be found alive. ‘Even a tiny detail could be the missing piece’ South Yorkshire Police are now on the Greek island of Kos investigating the case and Crimestoppers are offering a £10k reward for information leading to Ben’s discovery. They’ve also announced they are looking for a man who called a missing person’s helpline back in 1993 saying that Ben’s name had been changed to Andreas and that he was living with a man called Nikos in a coastal town of Katerini in Greek Macedonia. In another twist, it was reported that Ben’s grandmother was told he was taken away from the island on a…

Bridget Jones actress Sally Phillips, whose 11-year-old son Olly has Down’s syndrome, says: “When the doctor told me Olly had Down’s syndrome, it was treated as a tragedy – but my experience with Olly has been the opposite of that. “I’m not against the test – I respect people’s choice. But I think people often feel under pressure to terminate if they’re given a positive diagnosis. “Friends of mine have been offered terminations right up until their baby’s arrival. ‘I can’t treat you if you continue this pregnancy;’ ‘Your marriage won’t last;’ ‘It’s not fair on your other kids’ are all comments made by doctors to women I know. “I’m worried that better testing techniques could lead to fewer babies with Down’s being born. I’d love to see a cooling…

They looked tanned and relaxed in the Caribbean last week, and insiders say Hayley Roberts and her fiancé David Hasselhoff are happier than ever. Now pals reveal that Hayley, 36, would love to have a baby with David, 63, after they marry following five years together. A source says: “Hayley and David got officially engaged earlier this month and they’ve been buzzing with the idea of planning a wedding. Hayley thinks the next step would be to have a baby and she’s already discussed it with David. He loves children and is also keen, but they’ll tie the knot first.” Last year, Hayley spoke about having a child with David, who already has two daughters, Taylor Ann, 26, and Hayley, 23, from his marriage to Pamela Bach. She said: “He’d…

Peter Andre, 43 – who admitted he’d had hair extensions in 2005 – says: “I’m in my 40s but I still have a good head of hair and no greys – Emily [Peter’s wife] loves my hair too. But if I did start losing my hair I’d definitely look into getting a transplant. I had a nose job at 26 because I had a hook nose and hated it. That operation gave me confidence that I’d never had before – I don’t have anything against surgery. Men can become so miserable when they lose their hair, so I think they should go for it if they want it. If in a few years my hair starts to go then it’s something I’d consider.” • Peter has partnered with Oykos for…

‘Hugh is one of my best friends – he genuinely cares’ She’s always prided herself on her perfect glamour model figure, and made a career out of it when she was picked by Hugh Hefner to be one of his elite Playboy bunnies back in 2004. But last week, 30-year-old Kendra Wilkinson – who now has a successful US reality show called Kendra On Top with her husband, former American Football player Hank Bassett, 33 – surprised fans by posting a frank close-up picture of her stretch marks, with the caption: “Look what my 2 babies did… They made me happy. #happymothersday.” Now Kendra tells Closer that after having her two children – Hank IV, six, and two-year-old Alijah – she won’t be risking another baby causing havoc to her…

Rochelle Humes admits that she and her husband, Marvin, 31, are strict when it comes to bringing up their daughter, Alaia-Mai, three. Rochelle, 27, tells Closer : “I grew up with my mum working so I’m used to seeing women who provide for their families. I really want to teach Alaia-Mai that you don’t get a lovely house for nothing – you have to work hard.” And The Saturdays star says she still speaks to her pal Cheryl, 32, adding: “She’s doing great.”…

New studies have shown that Spaniards are healthier than Brits, with better heart health and a lower risk of diabetes – and chef José Pizarro, the champion of Spanish cooking in the UK, isn’t surprised. “Spanish people favour home-cooking,’ he says. “Spanish food is simple and uses basic ingredients such as tomatoes, paprika, garlic and fish to make everything from tasty tapas to hearty mains.” Here are José’s five easy ways to add a Spanish twist… ANCHOVIES Try marinating white anchovy fillets in vinegar and olive oil. They taste delicious with tomato wedges and strips of jamon (ham), seasoned with garlic, salt and black pepper. SPANISH- STYLE EGGS Fry olive oil and 100g of sliced fresh porcini mushrooms. Add an egg yolk to the centre of the pan. Season, heat…

Where do you do your weekly shop? I live near Sainsbury’s, which is handy, or I’ll head to Waitrose on the way back from my gym. I spend around £60 a week. Describe your daily diet… I’ll have porridge with almond milk, water and a scoop of chocolate protein powder for breakfast. Lunch is poached eggs with smoked salmon or a tuna salad. Dinner is often a prawn stir-fry or baked salmon with veg. If I get hungry I snack on dark chocolate or rye bread with almond butter. Is there anything you refuse to eat? Greasy fast-food. It tastes amazing at the time, but I feel disgusting afterwards. What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten? Pigeon. I was on a date and I let the other person order for…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… £2 a week, which I spent on sweets. MY FIRST JOB WAS… I did a paper round when I was 12 and hated it. The early round was a killer! I SPENT MY FIRST PROPER PAY CHEQUE ON… I don’t really remember buying anything. I saved all my money to put myself through drama school. THE MOST EXPENSIVE THING I OWN IS… My car, a Toyota Rav 4. I don’t own anything ridiculously expensive; I shop high street and I love a bargain. MY LAST PURCHASE WAS… A FitBit Alta for £99. It really motivates me to keep moving. MY BIGGEST FINANCIAL MISTAKE… Was when I bought my first house when I was 21, but I had to pay a £16,000 early-redemption penalty as I couldn’t…

What’s your worst habit? Always being right. If you were an animal, what SARAH: “DON would you be and why? A fox – they’re smart and alert. Who was your first kiss? Elaine, when I was about 12. Where’s your happy place? At home in Jamaica, standing on the balcony, with the sea in the distance and those who matter most by my side. What’s your earliest memory? Falling asleep in church while my mum was in choir practice. What’s your proudest achievement? Providing for my children as a single parent and finding someone to love and share it all with. • Mr Motivator will appear at Innocent Unplugged (28–30 May, Innocentunplugged.com)…

We can’t believe you’re leaving! What made you decide to quit? I had a career before this (Alison was in Sky drama Dream Team, and action flick Shanghai Knights) and if I don’t quit now I can’t see myself leaving later. I just want to get out there, try some other things, spend some time with my daughter (Daisy Mae, seven) and take it a bit easier. She’s pleased she’s going to be seeing a bit more of me. What will you miss the most? The people. At the end of the day, the cast and the crew are like my family. I can’t even talk about it or I’ll start crying. I see more of them than I do anybody else – we all look after each other so…

The Coronation Street live episode back in September 2015 saw bad boy Callum Logan meet a bitter end – with Kylie Platt hitting him around the head with a metal wrench when he attacked her sister-in-law, Sarah. Sarah, Kylie and Kylie’s hapless hubby David then buried Callum under the floorboards in Gail’s annex – where he’s about to be discovered. It’s been hinted that someone surprising may end up paying for the crime, and don’t forget that Paula Lane (Kylie) is pregnant with baby number two and announced in Feb that she’s leaving the soap……

She couldn’t stop smiling as she cosied up to her new beau Liam Payne on the red carpet in Paris last week, and after showing off what looked like a hint of a baby bump pals speculated if Cheryl may already be expecting her first child. The singer, 32, has been dating One Direction star Liam, 22, for four months following her split from second husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, 35, in January. Closer previously reported how the former Girls Aloud star was so smitten she’d spoken about starting a family with Liam – now the star’s inner circle say her dream looks set to become a reality. A source says: “Cheryl’s been beaming recently and talking about the big plans she has with Liam. She’s never been so chilled about her…

They have one of the most tempestuous marriages in showbiz and have teetered on the brink of divorce for years, but Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne still managed to send shockwaves around the world last week with the news they had reportedly split after Ozzy allegedly cheated on his wife of 33 years. According to reports, Sharon stormed out of the LA home she shares with the 67-year-old rocker after finding out about his affair with “rock-obsessed” celeb hairstylist Michelle Pugh, 45. IN TURMOIL Now sources tell Closer how a devastated Sharon, 63 – who has three children, Aimee, 32, Kelly, 31, and Jack, 30, with the Black Sabbath singer – is in turmoil over whether to call it quits. Sharon confirmed last week on US TV show The Talk that…

hen Danielle Lloyd was pictured at her lavish engagement party last week, she happily announced that her long-term confidante Jordan – aka Katie Price – will be one of her bridesmaids. And now it seems their bond runs a lot deeper, with insiders revealing they have been swapping pregnancy secrets, specifically Jordan’s top tips for Danielle to have a much-wanted baby girl. Sources say the duo’s inner circle wouldn’t be surprised if the pals have planned their next pregnancies to coincide with each other as they both want girls. PREGNANCY SECRETS An insider reveals: “Pals have grown suspicious Danielle might be expecting. She’s relaxed her strict diet and massively scaled back her trips to the gym, pre-empting people asking about her rounded tum by telling friends she’s ditched her 100…

• In 1997, Zephany Nurse was abducted from a hospital in Cape Town, three days after her birth, by a seamstress who’d had a miscarriage and went on to raise her as her own, in a village just a mile away. Her parents, Morné and Celeste, never gave up hope of finding her. In January 2015, her biological sister, Cassidy Nurse, began at the same school as Zephany and people commented on the resemblance between them. DNA tests confirmed that Zephany was in fact the Nurses’ long-lost daughter. • In 1998 Natascha Kampusch, then 10, was abducted on her way to school in Vienna, Austria, by Wolfgang Priklopil. She was held in a small cellar until she eventually escaped in 2006. Priklopil killed himself before police could find him. •…

She revealed her painful split from her boyfriend of three and a half years Jake McLean two weeks ago – and now Lauren Goodger has told pals that when she’s ready to start dating again, she’ll land a celeb boyfriend. Before Lauren, 29, dated Jake, she had an on/off 10-year romance with reality star Mark Wright and the final breakdown of their relationship was played out for cameras on TOWIE . A source says: “When Lauren was with Jake, he really hated being in the limelight and she always felt like she was being held back. She wants to be part of a TV power couple again. She’s always dreamed of having her own reality show one day and she knows that being part of a celeb couple is TV…

Just a week after Katy Perry attended the Met Ball with her boyfriend Orlando Bloom, she faced the heartache of seeing him on a night out with his former flame, Selena Gomez, 23, as photos emerged of the pair cuddling in a Las Vegas club. But pals say 31-year-old Katy is wary the incident was set up by her arch-nemesis – and Selena’s BFF – singer Taylor Swift. Katy and Taylor, 26, have been locked in a bitter feud since 2013, when Taylor accused the singer of stealing her backing dancers – and it appears there’s no love lost between the former friends. A source says: “It’s no secret that Katy and Taylor don’t get on. She worries Taylor may have enlisted Selena to lure Orlando. Taylor is Queen Bee…

THE DADDY OF PRANKSTERS That first day back at work after maternity leave can be an angsty time for mums. If only all dads could be as reassuring as Matt Coyne, who went above and beyond to keep partner Lyndsay updated on their six-month-old son Charlie’s progress after she returned to her job. Matt, who blogs at Man vs. Baby, responded to Lyndsay’s requests for news of her little man with a series of mocked-up photos, showing him enjoying a pint at Wetherspoons, followed by a trip to a lap-dancing club and a sky-diving lesson. Being fired out of a cannon was the final straw for the long-suffering new mum, who promptly threatened to punch the mickey-taking dad in the dangly bits. That’s one way to end the problem of…

Award-winning chef Aldo Zilli, 60, thinks men should enjoy their baldness like he does. He says: “Men feel insecure when they lose their hair – you lose bits at a time and then you’re completely bald. It’s a shock to the system! But I would never consider having a hair transplant – it actually looks ridiculous and you can always tell if someone’s had one. It’s quite trendy to be bald these days. I think men should embrace it and just shave their heads when they start losing their hair so they don’t have to worry about its gradual disappearance. I like my bald head and I won’t be covering it with a hat! If you see pictures of me from when I had hair, I look better now than…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Adriana Lima vs Allison Williams This statement-making Giambattista Valli dress looked gorgeous on both ladies. Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana added extra bling with her bracelets and clutch, while Girls actress Allison injected a pop of colour with her blue suede shoes. VERDICT There’s very little in it – they even wore similar hairdos! It’s a fashion tie this week. STYLE CRUSH! SILVER SENSATION Kara Tointon, 32 The former EastEnders actress looked a far cry from Albert Square in this plunge-front Amanda Wakeley creation. She kept the rest of her look fuss-free, ensuring all eyes were on her show-stopping gown at the BAFTAs last week. TOO MUCH DRAMA Eleanor Tomlinson, 24 Closer HQ was divided over this one. The Poldark actress looked ethereal in this dramatic gown…

Sam Faiers – who is mum to five-month-old baby Paul – walked the BAFTA red carpet with her partner, property developer Paul Knightley, 27, but onlookers say she looked upset and even had to wipe away what appeared to be tears with a cotton bud. A source says: “Sam wasn’t her usual happy, smiley self. She usually loves chatting, but she barely spoke to anyone and walked down the red carpet quickly. It looked like she didn’t want to be there. She only posed for one or two photos with fans. At one point it looked like she was crying and had to wipe make-up from under her eyes with a cotton bud.” The BAFTAs marked the first night out for the couple since they welcomed their new arrival, and…

She recently turned 49, but mum-of-two Kate Garraway is looking better than ever. Flaunting her enviable figure on the red carpet last week, Kate confessed to Closer that her secret to looking good is Spanx. She says: “I do believe in Spanx, they keep me looking trim! I also hold my tummy in a lot. Everyone asks if there is pressure to look good, but it’s easier to look polished when I get so much professional help. It’s harder in normal life when you’ve got to do it yourself.”…

THE MOVES Denise, 41, says cycling and playing golf are “brilliant” for helping her get rid of bingo wings. She maintains her size 8 figure by going to a body pump class with other mums after the school run. Denise says: “At home, I spend 30 minutes power-walking on my treadmill, increasing and slowing the pace. I like interval training because it changes your body shape a lot.” THE FOODS Denise – who is mum to Betsy, six, with ex-husband Lee Mead – says she doesn’t cut out any food groups, but tries to lower her carb intake. Breakfast is scrambled egg with salmon, while lunch tends to be a jacket potato with tuna and mayo, and dinner is often spaghetti Bolognese. But Denise loves her treats and admits: “Give…

A source says: “Eva and Cheryl have met a few times through their work with L’Oréal but they had a blast last week. Cheryl was telling Eva she’s planning on spending more time in LA, and would love to hang out.” But insiders say Eva’s BFF Posh, who was snapped partying with Eva the next night at Cannes, was less than pleased over their bonding.

She’s never been shy of controversy but Jordan caused shockwaves last week with jaw-dropping revelations about her sex life. She was ordered off the set of Loose Women after making a joke about spit during a discussion on sex toys, later confessing she had a “butt plug with diamonds on the end.” Now insiders say the reason for her frank discussions about her sizzling sex life with husband Kieran Hayler is to make amends after a string of previous revelations left him humiliated. As Closer previously reported, Kieran, 29, was furious last month when Jordan talked about her split from ex-husband Peter Andre, saying: “I didn’t want to divorce him.” She also repeatedly referenced Kieran’s affairs – he slept with two of her former best friends in 2014 – and…

He swore he’d never drink again, after he was hospitalised last October following an accidental overdose in a Nevada brothel. But Lamar Odom seemed to go back on his word last week when he was photographed downing Cognac at LA’s Beverly Center mall. And later that night, Keeping Up With The Kardashians broadcast the first pictures of the 36-year-old basketball player in intensive care, lying unconscious on a hospital bed after overdosing on drugs and alcohol.

24 JULY, 1991 Ben vanished at approximately 2.30pm while playing outside his grandparents’ farmhouse, which they were renovating, in the village of Iraklis. His disappearance was reported to Greek police, who failed to put in place checks on ferries leaving the island. 25 JULY The family join police in searching for Ben on the hillside above Kos Town, but find no trace. Builders working nearby give a statement saying they had seen a car, possibly a Suzuki Alto, parked near the house the day before with a woman sitting in the back and two men in the front. 26 JULY The police notify the authorities at Kos airport.

Zayn Malik was subjected to a homophobic and racist Twitter rant last week, when rapper Azealia Banks fired off a series of abusive comments to the former 1D star. The feud kicked off when Azealia, 24, accused Zayn, 23, of copying her work for his video, Like I Would . She used a series of expletives and racist slurs against Zayn – who has a Pakistani father, an English-Irish mum and was raised a Muslim. Zayn responded by Tweeting back: “Why you been saying nasty things about me? I wasn’t talking about you.” It’s not the first time American Azealia has caused controversy online, previously having spats with Rita Ora, Iggy Azalea and Lily Allen to name a few. Azealia deleted the Tweets and issued a statement – that didn’t…

He’s been showing a more emotional side recently, and was spotted wandering barefoot and feeding squirrels in a Boston park last week. And that’s not all – singer Justin Bieber’s worrying behaviour has included lashing out on Instagram, saying he felt like a “zoo animal,” and banning fans from taking photos. This comes after the 22-year-old cancelled all meet-and-greets, burst into tears on stage, shaved his head and got a tattoo of a tiny cross on his face. Insiders reveal that seeing his ex, Selena Gomez, photographed looking cosy with Orlando Bloom last week pushed him to the brink. A source says: “Justin’s told pals he feels lost and alone. Seeing the pics of Selena with Orlando made him revaluate everything – he feels he messed up. He’s suffered stage-fright…

Flirtatiously posing in a skimpy bikini, Kelly Brook looked sensational as she reminded fans of the famous curves that shot her to fame during a Hawaiian-themed garden party at her Kent home last week. Now pals tell Closer how the model, 36, has been using the new workout regime “sexercise” to lose weight and prepare her body for a baby with her model boyfriend Jeremy Parisi, 30, who she’s been dating since April last year. BUILDING STAMINA Sexercise is a 32-minute workout devised by LA-based celebrity trainer Jason Rosell, which is a mixture of three rounds of cardio-based exercises, including squats and lunges designed to tone and build stamina in the bedroom. A source says: “Kelly loves the workout after trying it out during a recent trip to LA and…

After displaying a range of colourful headwear recently including a turban, reports last week claimed Kylie Minogue’s toyboy fiancé Joshua Sasse, 28, had undergone a £5,000 hair transplant. The actor allegedly had the procedure due to a “confidence thing” ahead of the couple’s wedding later this year. He’s not the first star to be rumoured to have had hair-enhancing treatment. Wayne Rooney is known for having two hair transplants, first in 2011 then again in 2013 costing a total of £30,000, while Jude Law and Gordon Ramsay have both sparked speculation of having undergone a similar treatment after being spotted with noticeably thicker hair.

Her career’s gone from strength to strength since she left TOWIE in February, but Ferne McCann has started to show signs she could be cracking under the pressure. After finishing third in last year’s I’m A Celeb! Ferne, 25, landed a job on ITV’s This Morning as a showbiz reporter, but onlookers at the TV BAFTAs last week said the star was looking panicked and uncomfortable before interviewing celebs on the red carpet. Ferne, who was filming for This Morning at the event, was said to be turning down photos because she was focusing on practising her lines. A source says: “Ferne was looking really tense and stressed out at the BAFTAS. Before the cameras started filming she was reading her cue card over and over again out loud to…

She’s famous for wearing skimpy clothes and hitting the party scene hard, so when Closer invited outgoing Marnie Simpson to an exclusive photo shoot we assumed she’d be in her element. But once the camera starts flashing, the Geordie Shore star momentarily freezes and admits to struggling with body insecurities. She says: “In the three years I’ve been on Geordie Shore , I’ve never seen one paparazzi shot of myself I’ve liked. If I see a pap, I look at the floor as I can’t bear to see the pictures the next day.” Despite being a slim size 8, Marnie admits to scrutinising her appearance in front of the mirror every day. She reveals: “I am always picking myself apart and thinking about what I can change. I don’t think…

It’s such a shame that people of my generation aren’t given a chance…

The excellent cast also includes Celia Imrie and Dev Patel. THE HUNGER GAMES FIRST IN THE TRILOGY SAT 21 MAY, 9PM, C4 This is a fabulous watch, and is the flick that put the lovely Jennifer Lawrence firmly on the A-list Hollywood stars map.
