When Lauren Goodger unveiled her spectacular new body earlier this year after dropping 4st, it was a personal triumph and sweet revenge against the body-shamers. Despite proving her doubters wrong, Lauren faced a barrage of cruel comments again last week after unflattering photos hit the internet. Similarly, Vicky Pattison has recently been attacked by weight bullies. Thankfully, both ladies are determined to ignore the trolls. As the old saying goes, if people are always trying to bring you down, it’s because you’re above them.…

‘Lauren is determined to prove her critics wrong’ This year marked an incredible triumph for Lauren Goodger when she showcased her impressive 4st weight loss in January, after enduring six years of relentless jibes about her fluctuating weight. But last week she was once again being targeted by trolls after unflattering photos of her running errands in Essex hit the internet and she was accused of “hitting the burgers again,” “piling on the weight” and even branded “disgusting.” Insiders say the cruel comments have really stung Lauren, 29, who’s devastated she’s being attacked again after working so hard to slim from a size 16 to an 8. WEIGHT WORRIES A source says: “Lauren is so used to receiving hateful comments – sadly it comes with being in the public eye…

When news of Cheryl and Liam Payne’s relationship broke earlier this year it sent shockwaves through the showbiz world, not least because of the pair’s 11-year age difference. And the spotlight was on the couple again last week when the 1D star’s ex-girlfriend, Danielle Peazer, revealed in an interview that Liam “maybe has a thing for age gaps.” But pals say Cheryl, 33, is fuming that her private life has been put back in the limelight and is being discussed again. A source says: “Cheryl saw Danielle’s comments as a big dig over her age, and she wasn’t happy. She hates people gossiping about her relationships and this hurt her.” NOT SURPRISED Dancer Danielle – who was 22 when she started dating then 16-year-old Liam – also revealed how his…

They’re not exactly known for having quiet nights in and, as the Geordie Shore stars filmed the 13th series of the MTV show in Aiya Napa recently, their outrageous antics hit an all-time low. From drunken falls, wardrobe mishaps and a wet T-shirt competition, Holly Hagan, 24, Sophie Kasaei, 26, and Chloe Ferry, 21, lived up to their reputations. DRUNKEN MAYHEM Last week, the girls were reunited with their former co-star Charlotte Crosby on a boozy trip to Ocean Beach Ibiza – and they shared footage of the mayhem on Snapchat. And loyal Charlotte, 26 – who refers to Sophie and Holly as her “sisters” – leapt to their defence. She tells Closer: “Some people go to Ibiza for a relaxing trip, but what’s the point in going to a…

She’s notoriously unlucky in love having clocked up a string of failed relationships on and off-screen – but it appears ex- TOWIE star Gemma Collins may have found her ideal man. Last week, reports surfaced that Gemma, 35, was dating 28-year-old barman JJ Goodman. She said in an interview: “He’s a proper gentleman. Any man who can treat me like a princess and then share a club sandwich with me is definitely The One in my books.” The reality star met JJ – real name James – in Cannes and reports claim they spent several days together, as well as appearing on a panel show with Charlotte Crosby and her CBB co-star Jonathan Cheban. Gemma has had relationships with former co-stars James Argent and Charlie King as well as an…

Looking content while playing with her daughter Sophia on a break in Mykonos last week, insiders say Tamara Ecclestone is less diet-focused and has been enjoying herself more since becoming a mum. The size 10 F1 heiress – who looked incredible in a bikini while on holiday with her husband Jay Rutland and their two-year-old daughter – said recently: “As a woman I believe you have to embrace your body and feel beautiful both inside and out.” A source says: “Tamara’s learnt to be far more relaxed since having Sophia. Before she was pregnant she was a slim size 8 and followed a super healthy high-protein diet. But now she’s a mum she says she just wants to prioritise spending time with Sophia and enjoying herself. She loves her new…

Last week Nicole Scherzinger had to witness her ex Lewis Hamilton being linked to yet another celebrity when he was snapped leaving Rita Ora’s London home. And pals say Nicole, 38 – who split from Lewis, 31, last year after an on/ off seven-year relationship – can’t help feeling betrayed. A source says: “Nicole isn’t entirely over Lewis – they were together for a long time and it still hurts when he’s linked to other women. It’s made it worse that he’s been seeing Rita on and off for a while, as there’s always been rivalry between them, especially as they were both in the running for a role on the X Factor panel this year. She feels Lewis has betrayed her.” Nicole – who denied rumours she’d split from…

‘Making women feel confident in their own skin is something I feel really passionate about … I was thrilled to partner with body-confidence champions Dove, to create The Dress Of 100 Colours.’ – Gok Wan When it comes to confidence with clothes, it’s all too easy to reach for those safe staples such as black, white and grey. Most of us have a go-to colourful dress for special occasions, but we’d love to have the confidence to introduce brighter hues into our weekly wardrobes. To celebrate colour confidence, Dove’s teamed up with body confidence advocate Gok Wan to create a dress made from 100 colours that make UK women feel good about themselves (see details of how to win this amazing dress below.) Gok says, “Making women feel confident in…

TRADE SECRETS… We’ve all read about highlighting cheeks for extra definition, but did you know that a hint of sheen below your brows can make a huge difference to how your face looks, too? After you’ve filled in eyebrows with your usual product, simply trace below the arches and out towards the end with a soft, highlighting pencil, then blend gently with fingertips. The light colour and dewy shine will instantly perk up your peepers and have you looking bright-eyed, even if you’re lacking in beauty sleep. ON TRIAL This week we tried roll-on deodorants priced from 99p to £6.99. Here are our top three… 1 HARD-WORKING HERO This cream-based roll- on took a little while to absorb properly but kept us completely dry, even after a trip to the…

THE MOVES She recently showed off her 2st weight loss, but Mel, 41, reveals staying in shape has become harder as she ages. The mum-of-three says: “I try to do at least 30 mins of cardio a day mixed with weights. I’m also a big fan of sit-ups, so I do as many of those things as I can.” Mel also credits her toned body to plenty of “sexercise” with her husband, producer Stephen Belafonte. THE FOODS When it comes to diets, Mel has tried them all but, overall, she tries to eat a good amount of protein and veg. Breakfast is a soy latte, while lunch is a kale wrap with mushrooms, tomatoes, peppers, onions and balsamic vinegar. For dinner she’ll have grilled chicken with puréed cauliflower. But she…

There’s a lot of conflicting advice when it comes to the sun. Even our chief medical officer recently recommended using eight teaspoons of sunscreen – who knows what that is? Especially when most of us use sprays! It’s a wonderful example of entirely correct medical advice that’s entirely useless. The truth is that the sun is good for you, both for the soul and the body – but in moderation. No sun all year and then a week frying yourself is dangerous, but a bit of gentle sunshine morning and late afternoon is fine. YOU NEED VITAMIN D Vitamin D is probably the most common deficiency we see in this country, and sun on the skin is the easiest way of getting it. It’s important for bone health, and is…

DENTAL DISASTERS If you have a problem after dental treatment, according to Citizens Advice, legally dentists should pick up the cost to fix the damage. Ask your dentist to repeat the treatment for free, or give you a discount to correct it. MIXED SIGNALS Before you take on a new mobile or broadband contract, check network coverage in your area using Maps.ofcom.org.uk/ check-coverage. That way you won’t end up paying for speeds that aren’t even possible on your street or calls you’ll struggle to make due to lack of signal!…

Kathryn, you’re now a mum yourself (to 11-month-old Harriet), how has that changed the way you work? It’s made my job so much harder! The emotions that come with being a parent absolutely suck, and I mean that in the nicest possible way. The worry you have and the anxiety and the concern about whether you’re doing it right… I never knew all of these emotions existed! Now I meet the parents as a mum as well as a professional, and I feel their pain! You’ve come out to say you found it difficult to bond with your daughter when she was born… We now have a great relationship and a very strong bond, but it was definitely not easy at the beginning, in fact it was jolly, jolly hard.…

1 SUMMER DIETS: FACT OR FICTION? CORRIE’S CATH TALKS DIETS THU 4 AUG, 8.30PM, ITV Corrie’s Catherine Tyldesley (aka Eva) goes all TV presenter on us for this Tonight docu where she asks that all-important question – is it worth going on a “quick fix” diet for our summer hols? Here’s hoping the answer is no (*reaches for the choccies) as she runs through the immense number of slimming fads out there and finds out what impact weight loss has on our minds and bodies… 2 RIO 2016 SPORTY!

Their year-long marriage has recently been dogged by rumours of jealousy, infighting and a possible split – now sources say Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright are making a dramatic bid to rescue their fractured relationship. The pair were spotted holding hands last week, signalling fresh hope they have finally turned a corner. And sources say that after what have been a tough few months, they have made a secret pact to do everything they can to save their marriage. Mark, 29, and Michelle had been living apart over the past six months while the former Corrie star filmed BBC drama Our Girl on location in South Africa and, more recently, upcoming TV series Tina And Bobby in Manchester. MAKING AN EFFORT But sources say former TOWIE star Mark has now…

SEPTEMBER 2009 At the MTV VMAs Kanye interrupts Taylor’s acceptance speech proclaiming Beyoncé should have won. SEPTEMBER 2010 Kanye publicly apologises to Taylor on Twitter and reveals he’s written a song for her. NOVEMBER 2010 Kanye backtracks on his apology, claiming that what he did was “selfless” because she didn’t deserve the award. He also accused her of exploiting the incident for publicity. MAY 2011 Taylor and Kanye cross paths at the Met Gala and exchange a high-five. JUNE 2013 Kanye does yet another U-turn and claims he only apologised to Taylor because he caved to peer pressure. AUGUST 2015 Kanye presents Taylor with an award at the VMAs. A month later, Taylor posts a pic of some flowers Kanye sent her. FEBRUARY 2016 Kanye debuts new track Famous ,…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY WARNS: “Cheryl is the classic example of a woman who starts to morph into whoever she is with. The problem is that she doesn’t appear to have her own fashion identity – how could she when she is always with a new man? Individuality is what makes relationships work and while we all end up merging with our partners in some way, Cheryl does this far more quickly. She’s very brand-orientated so this will be conscious behaviour – if you can create a Kimye or Beyoncé and Jay-Z, the public will buy into it. With her previous two marriages she was trying to fit into a lifestyle – with Ashley it was the rich WAG and with her French husband JB it was as…

CLOSER’S PSYCHOLOGIST EMMA KENNY SAYS: “There are lots of extreme parenting styles, from Tiger parenting – a traditionally Eastern practice where parents actively push their children to be successful at school – to ‘off-grid,’ where you don’t discipline your children, but it’s important to find a balance. Taking an interest in your children’s achievements can only be healthy, but putting too much pressure on them can be detrimental. While ‘off-grid’ parenting has some good points, such as listening to your children’s needs and communicating positively with them, there’s a risk the children will have trouble functioning within society as adults. It’s important to let children think for themselves, but parents also need to set boundaries for them, too.”…

‘I am absolutely single and ready to find someone’ She hit the headlines last week after confessing she shared the same jealous tendencies that drove men away as her Me To You co-judge Kelly Brook – but the TV star admits the pair are now swapping love advice. Vicky, who has been linked to a host of reality stars including ex-TOWIE star Mario Falcone and Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews, said: “We joke that we’re both jealous psychopaths, but it’s not that funny and not that much of a joke – it’s absolutely true when it comes to geezers.” CLOSE BOND But she’s quick to tell Closer that pal Kelly won’t be offended. She laughs: “I adore Kelly – she’s easy-going and a lovely person. Kelly told me that she…

Their £400 “quickie” divorce in January marked one of the most amicable splits in showbiz history and insiders say that just six months later a reunion could now be on the cards as Gary Lineker is wooing Danielle Bux again. The pair – who were married for six years and broke up following rumours ex-footballer Gary didn’t want more children – were first spotted looking close again in public while out in LA in May. Last week Gary was snapped with his arm around his ex-wife, 37, as they took a stroll through west London, and now sources tell Closer the 55-year-old sports broadcaster is doing everything he can to win her back. A source reveals: “Gary still loves Danielle and is being more romantic and attentive than ever. They’ve…

The world is in the grip of Pokémon Go fever – but there’s plenty of people who’ve blasted it as a waste of time, not to mention dangerous with reports of people falling off cliffs or into roads while glued to the mobile game. However, some good can come out of it – as shown by the owners of an animal shelter who've spotted an opportunity for a whole new generation of dog walkers. Muncie Animal Shelter in Indiana, US, has advertised for Pokémon Go fans to walk their rescue dogs while they search for characters in the game using their mobiles – and it’s been deluged with more than 250 eager new walkers. One of them, Micheal Keihn and his family, visited the shelter last week to play the…

Childhood sweethearts Steph and Tony Johnson have been together for 14 years, but the couple’s sex life certainly isn’t flagging despite having four children. Two years ago, they found a novel way to spice up their sex life – tickling each other. And now they meet other couples for tickling parties – and even sell videos of their tickle play, earning them up to £1k a month. A NEW FETISH Banker Steph, 31 – who has four children aged 14, 11, and 10-year-old twins with Tony, 33, who works in retail – says: “Our sex life wasn’t boring, but it’s good to try out new things. Now we have tickle sessions at least three times a week and meet up with people from tickle forums for parties – there are…

She was the original It girl, but now Tara Palmer-Tomkinson has reinvented herself by taking on the fashion world – and tells Closer she’s finally moved on from her wild past. Tara – goddaughter to Prince Charles – found fame for her party lifestyle in the ’90s, which led to a reported £400-a-day cocaine habit and a need for plastic surgery on her nasal septum. But since going to rehab in 1999, the 44-year-old insists she’s turned her life around, staying sober and finding success in reality shows like I’m A Celeb! and Comic Relief Does Fame Academy. IN CONTROL She’s recently launched The Kubbi – a shirt with a Lycra body included, so you can look smart but still maintain a smooth shape – from her new fashion label…

‘I don’t need surgery, I can change myself in the gym’ Once a lads’ mag pin-up, Gemma Atkinson has sculpted her body over the past few years and finally unleashed a new-found body confidence after hitting the gym. Gemma, who is 5ft 9 and weighs 11st, says: “Over the years I have grown to love the way I look and my figure has become a lot more muscular as a result of regular gym workouts and yoga. I have increased my muscle mass and reduced my body fat so I look bigger now than before. I’m certainly heavier, but I love it – I feel strong.” But despite being happy in her own skin, Gemma, 31, reveals she has been on the receiving end of some nasty comments on social…

“We’re living with my fiancé Steve’s family to save for our wedding. While we still pay towards the rent and bills, it’s cheaper than if we lived alone. I earn £30k and we have a total budget of £13k for our 80 guests. We’ve put down 50 per cent of the deposit on the venue, £800 for the band and £1k for the photographer. The venue – with food and drink – is a massive £7k. I designed our invitations and my dress, veil and shoes were gifts. We’ve budgeted £80 a dress for my three bridesmaids and £500 for flowers. I’d like to have a videographer if we can afford it. We’d love to go to the Maldives for our honeymoon, which we’re booking later as we’re asking for…

We all know that a nourishing breakfast is the best way to start the day, providing you with the right fuel to function properly. But if your morning routine involves a rush to get the kids out the door or scrambling to beat rush hour, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut with the same old cereal or breakfast bar, day after day. Thanks to Arla, breakfast doesn’t have to be boring or time -consuming.

This is very different to Line Of Duty ! Winnie is completely different to [LoD’s] Kate. Kate would absolutely batter her! Winnie is the wife of (secret spy) Verloc [played by the fab Toby Jones.]. I think I look like Nanny McPhee – I just need a mole. I loved the whole get up – the wig, the corset. It’s brilliant. Tell us about the shop Winnie works in…? That place haunted me! It had the largest wooden “you know what.” When I saw all the props, I thought, “Did this really kick about back then?” because this is quiet explicit stuff. It was a bit weird but by day two you’re like: “Oh dildos… whatever!” Why did you want to take on this part? I read…

The Taylor/Kim feud has seen their A-list pals wade in to take sides, and now Victoria Beckham has reportedly vowed she’ll “boycott” the Kardashians in the fashion world after Khloe’s “crude” swipe at Chloë Grace Moretz. TARGETED Sources close to Victoria say the designer has grown close to Chloë, 19 – who confirmed her romance with Victoria’s son Brooklyn, 17, in May – and was horrified the teenager had been targeted by Khloe, 32, last week. The row erupted after Chloë – who previously clashed with Kim on Twitter over the reality star’s nude selfie – appeared to hit out at the Kardashian clan last week, Tweeting: “Everyone in this industry needs to get their heads out of a hole and look around to realize what’s ACTUALLY happening in the…

She became the talk of the Royal wedding with her shapely bottom when her sister Kate married Prince William in 2011. And, last week, Pippa Middleton caused a stir when she announced her engagement to hedgefund millionaire James Matthews. But while Pippa looked smitten, showing off her £200k diamond ring, it was reported the Royal family were less than impressed that James’ younger brother Spencer, 28 – who has bragged about sleeping with 1,000 women, enjoying wild orgies and was once caught snorting cocaine – would be joining their inner circle. However, Spencer’s pal and former Made In Chelsea co-star Georgia “Toff” Toffolo hits back and says Spencer – who went to the boys’ boarding school Eton with Prince William and Harry – won’t be shunned by the Royals. Toff…

They earn millions and have no shortage of female admirers but, last week, Olympian Usain Bolt, 29, urged footballers not to marry before they have “lived.” The runner also commented: “It’s hard for you to stay with one woman because girls are literally just throwing themselves at you” – oddly directing his comment at England captain Wayne Rooney, who married Coleen when they were both 22. Usain even added that he won’t think about getting married until he’s at least 35. But what if the shoe’s on the other foot – should women also play the field before getting hitched? LIZZIE CUNDY: ‘ Nevermarryyoung –you changeso much!’ TV presenter Lizzie Cundy, 46, was married to footballer Jason Cundy for 17 years, but they split after he had an affair in…

Her fiery relationship with ex Jeremy McConnell took a turn for the worst last week when the model was linked to Love Island’s Malin Andersson after a flirty Twitter exchange. And just days later Stephanie Davis revealed she’d considered aborting her unborn child after Jeremy’s reaction to her pregnancy, where he denied he was the father, “broke” her. But now pals fear that Steph’s latest revelation was in retaliation to Jeremy’s flirting, and their ongoing war of words is taking its toll on the star. Despite recently hitting out at Jeremy publicly, Tweeting: “I don’t ever want to see you again,” friends say the star wants him involved in the pregnancy. A pal says: “Steph is devastated by the rumours about Jez and Malin. She’s already feeling scared about her…

They may have ended their two-year relationship in March, but last week reports surfaced that Ellie Goulding and Dougie Poynter had rekindled their romance after they were recently spotted at a documentary screening. Insiders insist that this time around Ellie, 29, is determined to make it work with musician Dougie, 28, and the couple are even planning to leave the UK to set up home in LA. A source says: “Ellie has been working flat out and is now planning to take a 12-month hiatus after suffering from exhaustion. After her relationship with Dougie fell apart due to their conflicting schedules, Ellie wants to make time for him. She thinks moving to LA together is the solution.” The couple started dating in 2014 and briefly split in December before reuniting…

She confessed to Closer last year – while pregnant with her second child – that she wanted to lose the baby weight before walking down the aisle with her Australian boyfriend Adam Horsley. And after showing off her impressive 2st weight loss in a skimpy bikini while on holiday in Monaco last week, it looks like Imogen Thomas – who is 5ft 5 and a size 12 – could soon be getting her happy ever after. BABY WEIGHT The star admitted in an interview in April that getting back into shape after giving birth to her daughter Siera in November had been a struggle, saying: “I have lost weight. I’ve lost around 2st and have another half a stone to lose, but I’ve worked so hard. It’s been a real…

She showed off her gorgeous hourglass figure during an idyllic sunshine break on the Italian coast last week. And pals reveal that Kelly Brook – who was unveiled last year as the ambassador for Atkins diet – has relaxed her strict healthy-eating plan and gone from a size 8-10 to a 12 in a bid to fall pregnant with her model boyfriend, Jeremy Parisi, 31, who she’s been dating for just over a year. FERTILITY DIET A source says: “Kelly is so happy with Jeremy and she’d love to start a family with him. She’s started to prepare her body for a baby so she’s eating fertility-boosting foods including leafy greens, beans, nuts and high-fat dairy foods such as butter and cream as well as whole grains – plus she…

WHO WORE IT BEST? Bella Hadid vs Beyoncé Queen Bey and Bella look like they mean business in this Givenchy pinstripe suit. While the model adds silvery extras and strappy heels, Bey keeps the look tough in a black top and chunky platforms. VERDICT We’re not sure which is worse – Bey’s mahoosive gangster hat or Bella’s fringed bralet. Double fail all round, guys. MIDNIGHT HOUR Eva Longoria, 41 Newlywed Eva oozes elegance in this figure-hugging, midnight blue gown. Her sparkly beaded belt and one-shoulder detail add even more glamour and we love the former Desperate Housewives star’s simple but sleek updo. FUSSY FROCK Nicole Kidman, 49 We love a bit of embellishment, but there’s far too much going on here with Nicole’s sheer panels, crystals and Victorian-style neckline. FLOATY…

They’ve been together for five years – but last week pop star Lady Gaga announced that she and her “soulmate,” actor Taylor Kinney were taking a break. Sources say Taylor, 35, who proposed to Gaga, 30 – aka Stefani Germanotta – last Valentine’s Day, called time on the relationship because of the singer’s demanding schedule and devotion to her career. A source says: “They have been drifting apart for months and Taylor has been feeling like an expendable part of Steffi’s entourage rather than her partner. He thinks she is so consumed with her career that there isn’t room for them as a couple any more. She promised they would spend more quality time together a while back, but he felt nothing had changed.” And despite looking relaxed by the…

Where do you shop? I go to Sainsbury’s or Marks & Spencer as they’re closest to my house in Brentwood. I spend about £200 a week, as I only like to buy organic meat and fish. Nappies and wipes for my two-year-old daughter Nelly are so expensive, too. What’s your typical daily diet? For breakfast I have a slice of toast with peanut butter or scrambled egg, or maybe Weetabix with fruit. For my lunch I love Ryvita with smoked mackerel, rocket and tomatoes, or a tuna salad wrap, and I’ll snack on peaches or breadsticks with houmous. I always have a biscuit with my tea, and drink loads of water all day. For dinner, I’ll make spaghetti bolognese, or Cajun chicken with sweet potato wedges and salad. Is there…

“MY POCKET MONEY WAS… I didn’t get any, but if I washed the dishes and swept the floor I’d get a bit of change. If any coins fell out of my dad’s pocket, it was finders keepers!

I remember buying Michael Jackson’s History album, too. MY BIGGEST IMPULSE PURCHASE WAS… My cream MINI car for £5k. I saw it, stopped, test drove it and bought it on the spot. SAVER OR SPENDER?

What’s your worst habit? When I was in my prime I used to speak about myself in the third person. Ever had a near-death experience? I was in a car crash but, luckily, I got away with a badly injured shoulder. Describe yourself in three words… Extroverted, charismatic and caring. How do you cope with conflict? I used to crush it, but getting older has helped me find the middle ground. What’s your proudest achievement? Professionally, winning the Olympics. Personally, it’s getting married, having children and doing right by my family. • Catch Audley on Celebrity MasterChef, Wednesdays, 8pm, BBC1…
