KATE'S FEARS OVER MEGHAN'S HOUSE HUNT

He is expected to travel to London next month in a bid to win back publicly-funded security while in the UK. And despite years away from her husband’s native home, insiders say that Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle is also preparing for a shock return to the UK – as a favourable outcome to next month’s crucial court case could see the couple spending significantly more time in Britain and Europe. But the news hasn’t been well-received by everyone as a source confirms Kate, William and King Charles are ‘concerned’. Since Meghan and Harry officially stepped down from royal duties in 2020, they have been outspoken against the royals. In 2021, Meghan made claims of racism in the royal family after speculation about baby Archie’s skin colour before his birth.…

DEVASTATED GEORGIA'S ULTIMATUM TO DANNY

In what appeared to be a downcast outing last week, Danny Jones and his wife Georgia Horsley were photographed together for the first time following the furore over his kiss with Maura Higgins at the BRIT Awards. And after it was reported that the pair are a ‘united team and just want to focus on the future’ in the wake of the scandal, a source tells Closer that Georgia has presented her husband with an ultimatum ahead of him touring with McFly and Busted in the autumn. DISTRAUGHT A source says, ‘It’s been an incredibly tough time for Georgia and she’s really distraught over everything that’s happened. While she loves Danny, she can’t keep going through the same cycles. With the prospect of him moving out as he goes on…

SHAMED MAURA'S 'STRUGGLING' OVER BACKLASH

She is famed for having a no-nonsense and confident disposition, ever since she first showcased her fiery side on Love Island in 2018. But Maura Higgins’ pals revealed last week that the reality star is in a ‘bad way and really struggling’ amid the drama sparked by the BRITs kissing scandal. While some left comments online such as, ‘not really a girl’s girl are ya love x’, others rushed to support her and urged people to ‘be kind’. A friend has since said, ‘Maura is a tough character, but the reaction to events the other week has been utterly relentless, and it’s fair to say it’s taken a toll. She has found all of this very difficult to navigate. She appreciates she’s in the public eye and there is extra…

DESPERATE KATIE: 'This is my last chance for baby No.6!'

Reality star Katie Price is determined to have a baby with her boyfriend JJ Slater, despite warnings from doctors that it could be unsafe. The mum-of-five has been very vocal about her desire for a sixth child, but medical professionals have told Katie, 46, that she’s putting herself and her next baby’s health at risk. A source tells Closer, ‘Katie is ignoring all the professional fertility doctors’ warnings and has slammed all the negativity around her hopes. She has been told all the risks – and her last two pregnancies were both early term – yet she still insists on trying for another baby. Katie is putting her own mental health at risk too, she knows there’s a very slim chance of this happening, but she is obsessed.’ However, the…

MARK & MICHELLE: 'We're living in bliss with our little girl'

After 12 years together, their love story has reached its most exciting chapter yet – with Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan welcoming their first child together. Now, a source reveals that their baby girl is a muchneeded comfort following some tough months. Last week, Mark, 38, and Michelle, 37, announced the birth of their baby daughter. Palma Elizabeth – who some have suggested is named after the Majorcan capital – was born on 6 March, with the new parents initially keeping her arrival under wraps. Introducing their bundle of joy to the world, they wrote on social media, ‘Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl.’ Now, a source reveals that baby Palma is a ray of sunshine for the couple – who recently faced a terrifying…

Is it time to ban social media for children?

For months, Kathleen Firth watched her 13-year-old daughter Alyssa become more and more down. Alyssa had become a target for bullies, and mum-of-four Kathleen saw her bright and bubbly daughter become a shell of her former self. Rumours were being spread about Alyssa on social media, and despite Kathleen stepping in and trying to sort out the problem with Alyssa’s school, it ended in tragedy when Alyssa took her own life in February 2023. Kathleen, 37, from Clitheroe, Lancashire, says, ‘I knew Alyssa was being picked on at school, but the all-consuming nature of social media meant she never got a break. Although my partner Chris and I had implemented rules to only use her phone downstairs so we could keep an eye on her, I was still terrified about…

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR KIDS ONLINE

Talk to your children about what they are doing online. Ask them who they interact with and keep an open dialogue. Teach children to limit what they share, including their full name, school, address and family/friend information. Use a safe, anonymous screen name. Remind kids that once they post something online, they can’t take it back. Even if it’s deleted from a site, you have little to no control over older versions that may exist on other people’s devices and may circulate online. Review your children’s friends’ lists regularly. You may want to limit their friends’ list to only people you or they know. Decide together a sensible amount of time to spend socialising online, and make sure it’s part of a balanced approach to building relationships and spending time…

GERI'S BID TO OUT-POSH POSH

Amid rumours that Victoria Beckham isn’t the only Spice Girl set to release a TV show, insiders suggest Geri Halliwell-Horner will be using hers to prove that she deserves the ‘Posh’ moniker. Rumours that Victoria would feature in her own Netflix documentary were confirmed last year – following on from the success of David’s Netflix biopic Beckham – which will follow her journey from pop star to fashion industry guru. But former bandmate Geri is determined not to be left in the shade. A source tells Closer, ‘Geri doing her own reality docuseries just as Vic is about to release hers has raised some eyebrows among the Spice Girls. The show is meant to be about Geri setting her narrative straight after the controversy, but Vic and the other girls…

POSH'S SECRET AGONY

She’s famously known for suffering in the name of style, but Victoria Beckham took her love for heels to a new level while out and about at Paris Fashion Week. The Spice Girl-turnedfashion designer looked like she was in pain as she struggled to walk in pointy white stilettos after she left her runway show with husband David Beckham, daughter Harper and sons Romeo and Cruz. ‘She can’t even walk in those shoes!’ one Instagram user said, as another added, ‘Why you walking like that, shoes too narrow [for] your feet?’ And a source tells Closer of the lengths Posh goes to to put on a confident front in public and hide her agony. ‘Victoria couldn’t cover the discomfort as shown by the exaggerated walk she choreographed in an attempt…

DANNY: 'Jarrod is marrying the wrong Dyer - I love him!'

Danny Dyer has had his finger in many pies throughout his acting career. He made the move from no-nonsense hard man to a more family-friendlyrole when he became the latest in a long line of iconic landlords of The Queen Vic, joining EastEnders as Mick Carter in 2013. After cementing himself as one of the most recognisable faces in entertainment during his decade-long stint on the BBC soap, the 47-year-old transformed himself again, winning over a brand-new audience as the swoon-worthy Freddie Jones in last year’s TV adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s bonkbuster Rivals. Now, he’s starring as Jack in Marching Powder, his fifth collaboration with director Nick Love, as well as embracing one of his best roles yet – grandad. He talks to Closer about his love of 28-year-old daughter…

THROUGH THICK AND THIN: 'My partner lost his penis - I'll never have sex again'

When Colette Daniels spotted a tiny blemish on her partner’s penis, she dismissed it as a blood blister. But after Craig Mycock, a retired bus inspector, went for a check-up at the urologist a few months later in June 2020 for an unrelated issue, he was diagnosed with penile cancer. However, having missed the warning signs, the cancer had spread and Craig, now 55, underwent a glansectomy – an operation to amputate his penis. But while the surgery has cost the couple their sex life, they insist they’ve never felt closer. NIGHTMARE Colette, a retired comfort specialist, says, ‘We’re so much stronger now and Craig has found a new sense of purpose in talking about his cancer and helping others in a similar situation. It’s not an easy subject to…

COLEEN BLASTS BECKY: 'You won't win!'

' SHE’S DETERMINED TO STEAL COLEEN’S THUNDER ' A major bidding war between Disney+ and Amazon is finally over for Coleen Rooney’s brand new reality show, with the mum-of-four signing a whopping £10 million contract with Disney to film her day-to-day life. However, the news has not gone down well with her old rival Becky Vardy, who is said to be determined not to let Coleen hog the limelight and recently revealed plans for her own show. Rebekah, 43, is reportedly getting ready to film a fly-on-the-wall show of her own on W Channel, which will let the world into the £3 million mansion that she shares with footballer husband Jamie Vardy. And insiders say that Rebekah’s plans are no coincidence. A source tells Closer, ‘The timing of the announcement…

MOLLY: 'Tom turned up at my house with a suitcase and never left'

For those who dismissed Love Island: All Stars as an enterprise to reignite the careers of ITV’s bikini-clad stars, enter Molly Smith and Tom Clare. A year on from being crowned the first-ever winners of All Stars, the pair are still going strong and are delighted by the fact that their BFF Casey O’Gorman and his partner Gabby Allen claimed victory on the second season last month. SMITTEN Speaking about Casey, 28 – who he lived with in London after the pair starred on series nine of Love Island in 2023 – Tom, 25, exclusively admits to Closer, ‘There were about three girls that I thought Casey might go for, but he and Gabby just hit it off from the outset. And when we see them together away from the…

CHLOE PARTIES AS JAMES STEPS OUT WITH NEW LOVE

He’d been single since splitting from Chloe Madeley, but rugby player James Haskell has gone public with his new relationship, recently attending Cheltenham races with girlfriend and Big Brother star, Sara McLean. James, 39, held hands with the former beauty queen as they arrived at the second day of the festival. The 34-year-old reality star – who finished in fourth place on Big Brother series 13 back in 2012 – has a string of famous exes including TOWIE's Mario Falcone, goalie Tim Howard, rugby star Ben Cohen and Australian cricket player, Shane Warne. Meanwhile, personal trainer Chloe Madeley – who split from James in October 2023 after 11 years together – was spotted partying with Rivals star Emily Atack. Chloe, 37, whose parents are famed TV presenters Richard Madeley and…

BOYFRIEND'S BOMBSHELL: 'A threesome saved our relationship'

For most people, hearing that their partner wanted to invite someone else into the bedroom would spell the end of their relationship. But not for Niamh Rothwell, 21, and her partner Jacob McParland, 22. In fact, the unusual arrangement helped mend their relationship and now the pair couldn’t be happier. At first, having always believed Jacob was straight, Niamh was devastated when she discovered he’d been using a gay dating app in April 2024, and ended their relationship. But one month later, the couple reconciled after Jacob admitted he’d been using the app to come to terms with the fact he might be bisexual. Wondering how Jacob could explore his sexuality inside a monogamous relationship, Niamh, a marketing executive, came up with a surprising solution – a threesome. She says,…

DELUDED KANYE: 'I'll get Kim back!'

After years of risqué outfits and eyebrow-raising tweets, rumours have swirled that Kanye West’s marriage to Bianca Censori is on the rocks – with insiders now revealing that the rapper has his sights set on his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. RECONCILIATION After splitting from Kim, 44, in 2021, Kanye, 47, went on to marry Bianca just one year later. Since then, the couple’s marriage has often hit headlines – with many raising concerns for the former Yeezy architect, 30, following her scantily-clad appearance at the Grammys earlier this year. Amid the uproar – which was followed by upsetting pro-Nazi rants from the rapper – Kanye took to social media to claim he had ‘dominion’ over his wife. Following the drama, rumours swirled that Bianca was considering ending her marriage. So far,…

HOLLY: 'Dad's catering for my big day!'

After getting engaged last year, wedding planning is well underway for Holly Ramsay. The 25-year-old influencer – who is one of TV chef Gordon Ramsay’s five children with wife Tana – is set to walk down the aisle this December, tying the knot with Olympian, Adam Peaty, 30. The couple first met after Adam competed on Strictly Come Dancing with Holly’s sister Tilly, 23, back in 2021, before taking their romance Instagram-public in June 2023. Since then, the loved up couple have gone from strength-to-strength -with Holly seen supporting the Team GB swimmer at last year’s Paris Olympics. Of course, becoming Mrs Peaty won’t only bag Holly a husband, she’s also set to become stepmum to Adam’s son, George, four, who he shares with his ex-partner, Eiri Munro, 27. Now,…

SHOCK FRIENDSHIP: 'I forgave my dad's killer'

When Rosalynda Boykin was born in 1993, it was to a family in mourning. Her father, Laramiun Byrd had been murdered just five months earlier after getting into an altercation at a house party. Rosalynda’s grandmother, Mary Johnson-Roy, was left devastated by her son’s death and as a deeply religious woman, the hate and resentment she began to harbour toward killer Oshea Israel, deeply troubled her. Despite wishing she could, Mary found herself unable to forgive until 2005 when a face-to-face meeting with her son’s killer gave her the closure she’d long prayed for. To Rosalynda’s surprise, Mary and Oshea went on to form a close bond and in 2009 upon his release from prison, Mary arranged for Oshea to move in next door and even threw a welcome home…

FAMILY MATTERS DITCH THE GUILT - MUMS NEED BREAKS TOO

YOUR GUIDE TO EMOTIONAL ISSUES & FAMILY LIFE WITH COUNSELLOR, PSYCHOTHERAPIST AND LIFE COACH ANNA WILLIAMSON We hear about ‘mum guilt’ a lot, and it’s essentially the fear of not being a good enough mum. I think it’s quite deep rooted in the patriarchy and generational stigma, because women were traditionally the primary caregivers. We also tend to measure ourselves against others and we can fear judgement. But I don’t think that’s particularly helpful! It’s important to remember that we can’t pour from an empty cup. We can’t be the parent we want to be if we don’t look after ourselves – so taking some time to yourself is nothing to feel guilty about. Your children will not thrive and be happy if their mum is exhausted and on the…

RELATIONSHIPS HOW TO ARGUE IN A HEALTHY WAY

Arguments are normal in relationships, quite simply because we are all individuals with different viewpoints and passions. But dealing with conflict in a healthy, non-toxic way is still achievable. The first thing to do is to identify your arguing style, and there are typically two of these: protestors and withdrawers. A protester is someone who is in the moment and wants to make their point immediately, whereas a withdrawer is someone who hates conflict and perhaps might step away and not engage. If you have one of each in a relationship, then the protestor can feel frustrated because the conflict has not been dealt with, and the withdrawer might want to walk away, which can leave both people disconnected and not communicating. With two protestors there can be real fireworks…

She’s been in the spotlight since the mid ’80s, when So Macho hit the charts. And 40 years on, former pop star Sinitta looks better than ever. When Closer catches up with the singer, she’s fizzing with energy, despite the fact she gets up at the crack of dawn. By 8am, she’s already done a tough workout in 95°F heat and ticked off a series of ‘little rituals’ designed to boost her wellbeing. ENERGISED ‘I’ve always been a health nut,’ Sinitta, 61, tells Closer. ‘I get up at 5am and take probiotic supplement Symprove, drink an espresso cup of fresh lime with hot water, and take a teaspoon of black seed oil.

'YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR LIFE EXPECTANCY'

Researchers from the University of East Anglia recently discovered that life expectancy is falling all over Europe, which means we’re the first generation who could die earlier than our parents and grandparents – we won’t die before them, but we may die at an earlier age than they did. This is pretty shocking and disappointing, as younger generations have always tended to be healthier and live longer than those before them. But it’s not inevitable. We can do something about falling life expectancy, which I think is quite reassuring. FOLLOW SIMPLE ADVICE The researchers say our poor diets, low exercise levels and rising rates of obesity are behind the drop in life expectancy. But changing our behaviours – like moving a bit more and eating a bit less – can…

LAUGHTER REALLY IS THE BEST MEDICINE

Next time you’re feeling low, pop a stand-up special on Netflix or get some mates together to see your favourite comedian – as comedy could be an effective alternative to antidepressants. Trials are currently taking place to find out whether ‘comedy on prescription’ can help improve people’s mental health, reduce the costs of antidepressants and ease the pressure on the NHS. The social prescribing scheme is aimed at helping people who are lonely, isolated or vulnerable get involved in events like comedy workshops and stand-up shows. Social prescribing is a new idea where doctors connect patients with local community activities, like arts and crafts or exercise classes, to boost their mental and physical health. Research has already found that watching comedy can lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) in your…

HOW TO FEEL YOUR BEST THIS SPRING

BOOST BRAIN POWER WITH OMEGA-3 If spring weather has inspired a ‘get-ready-for-summer’ shape up, don’t be tempted to try strict diets or skipping carbs. Our brain prefers to use glucose to fuel its billions of cells, so if this is in short supply, our memory, concentration and reasoning can be impaired. Instead, follow a healthy plan that includes fibre-filled starchy carbs, which provide the brain with a slow, steady glucose supply. Support brain health with omega-3 fats from oily fish like salmon, mackerel and sardines, and fill up on foods rich in iron (lean red meat, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and fortified cereals), zinc (lean meat, chicken, cheese, shellfish, nuts and seeds, and wholegrains), and iodine (dairy products, fish and eggs). These aid cognitive function – the processes that affect…

Brits are notoriously bad at serious discussions, but failing to chat about money could put a strain on your relationship – 40% of divorces cite financial stress as a major factor, according to new research from Ocean Finance. ‘Talking about money doesn’t have to be a dramatic sitdown conversation,’ says personal finance expert Fiona Peake. ‘Just seven minutes a week to check in on your finances together can make a huge difference. The key is being consistent – small, regular chats help prevent financial surprises and keep both partners feeling in control.’ She recommends covering what’s going in and out, upcoming costs and your savings and goals.

FILM NIGHT Snow White IN CINEMAS 21 MARCH We’re all familiar with the plot: an orphaned princess befriends seven dwarfs to escape from her jealous, evil stepmother, who is planning an evil scheme. The beloved fairy-tale has been adapted many times since Disney released Snow White as their first full-length animated film in 1937, and now it’s had a live-action musical makeover with new songs to match.
