Not only is she a successful influencer and model, she’s also competed on <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/">Strictly</a>, launched a podcast called Superpowers with Tasha, and released her first book, Hits Different.</p>
<p>Tasha isn’t stopping there however, as she just announced her latest job which will see her work alongside her boyfriend, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/tasha-ghouri-cam-whitnall/">Cam Whitnall</a>.</p>
<p>It first came to light that Tasha was dating Cam, who is a YouTube and CBBC star, last May following <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/tasha-ghouri-andrew-lepage-split/">her split from villa boyfriend Andrew Le Page</a> and now they’re set to collaborate on an exciting new project.</p>

<p>It’s just been confirmed that Tasha will host the inaugural Big Cat Fest 2026 for The Big Cat Sanctuary, who’s managing director is Cam. Tasha will be on-site for the full 10-day duration of the festival, which runs from 29 July to 2 August and again from 5 to 9 August and is expected to welcome 30,000 visitors.</p>
<p>Speaking about her new role, Tasha said, ‘I am so excited to be part of the very first Big Cat Fest! I’ve spent so much time at the Sanctuary and have seen first-hand the incredible work Cam and the team do for conservation and rescue.</p>
<p>‘These animals are breathtaking, and being able to host the event and meet all the supporters who make this work possible is a dream come true. We’ve got so much planned, from street food to conservation talks, it’s going to be the ultimate summer family day out with a real purpose.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/tasha-ghouri-cam-whitnall.jpg?q=80' alt='Tasha Ghouri and her boyfriend Cam Whitnall' /><p>Cam added, ‘We are absolutely thrilled to have Tasha hosting Big Cat Fest. Anyone who knows Tasha knows how deeply she cares about animals and our mission here at the Sanctuary.</p>
<p>‘This festival is the biggest event in our 20-year history, and having Tasha’s energy and platform to help us tell the stories of our cats, like that of our lions rescued from Ukraine, is incredible. It’s going to be a very special ten days.’</p>
<p>It was first reported that Tasha was dating Cam last year when a source told <a href="https://www.dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/article-14753773/strictly-star-tasha-ghouri-new-romance-cbbc-presenter.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">the Daily Mail</a>, ‘Tasha and Cam are in the early stages of dating. They have been seeing each other for around a month now and share so much in common, from a personal and professional standpoint.</p>
<p>‘Cam is a great guy and has a lot going for him, Tasha has definitely been thrilled getting to know him and the feeling is mutual.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>The latest series of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> starts this Sunday (26 April) and as we’ve come to expect from the reality show, there’s going to be lots of drama.</p>
<p>We already know that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a> will be feuding with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy Jay</a> and even <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a>, who usually stays out of the agg, will be getting involved too. <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> has also revealed she’s fallen out with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Elma Pazar</a> again, plus there’s set to be a big row between <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/jodie-wells/">Jodie Wells</a> and her boyfriend <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-diags/">Diags</a> in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">series 37</a>.</p>
<p>But between all the animosity it turns out there are also some friendships blossoming in Vietnam as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dan-edgar-towie/">Dan Edgar</a> has lifted the lid on his bestie Diags’ (aka James Bennewith) ‘unexpected’ new friendship with two of their co-stars.</p>

<p>In a new TOWIE interview, Dan – who has <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dan-edgar-speaks-out-on-chloe-lewis-returning/">finally confirmed he’s dating Chloe Lewis</a> – let slip that Diags has been spending lots of time with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid Ahmed</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe Blackman</a> and we certainly didn’t see this coming.</p>
<p>‘It also doesn’t help when your one friend that you have out here actually starts a new crew with Joe and Junaid, which no one expected,’ Dan said.</p>
<p>‘They look like they’re having a real good time. They run in the sea together, they have days out together, they do TikToks together.’</p>
<p>Diags replied, ‘There’s much less drama, which is crazy, with them than with [Dan], so I’ve actually been enjoying spending time on a new crew.’</p>
<p>Junaid also recently spoke out on his newfound friendship with Diags. He explained, ‘We’ve been out with the boys, Dan and Diags, a lot. I love being one of the boys.</p>
<p>‘We are just having so much fun. We’ve been going out with the boys every night. Dinners, drinks. We’re all about the good vibes.</p>
<p>'While all the girls and everyone else are causing drama, we’re just having positive vibes.’</p>

<p>‘She didn’t expect it to turn into such a talking point,’ a source says. ‘She’s feeling so exposed, like something that felt normal within her world has suddenly been picked apart publicly. She’s losing work over this. A lot of brands have been turned off and it’s really knocked her.’</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/binky-family-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='She's been accused of trying to wangle a free birthday cake for her son' /><p>Binky, 35, was thrown into the spotlight after being accused by a bakery of trying to bag a free birthday cake for her son in exchange for an Instagram post. Since then, more claims have emerged about the star – who is believed to be worth around £1.4 million – including one from another baker, who alleged she was ignored after gifting her a wedding cake in 2021. An illustrator has also come forward, saying she declined a request to design Binky’s wedding invitations and menus for her lavish Corfu celebration in return for social media exposure.</p>
<p>The fan reaction has been disapproving, with one commenting, ‘Just stop it and pay businesses for their work.’</p>
<p>The mum-of-three appeared to brush off the controversy, posting a string of Instagram snaps from a family trip to New York with husband Max Darnton and their children – India, eight, who she shares with Josh Patterson, Wolfie, four, and Wilder, two.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/binky-clo.jpg?q=80' alt='' /><p>‘There’s definitely an element of embarrassment, not because she feels she’s done something wrong, but because of how it’s being perceived,’ the insider says.</p>
<p>‘She’s quite private at heart, so having people dissecting her choices like this has made her retreat a bit. It’s shaken her confidence more than she’d admit openly.’</p>
<p>Binky shot to fame on MIC in 2011 and has since built a lucrative ‘family brand’. As well as landing collaborations with the likes of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/what-to-buy-at-marks-and-spencer-new-in/">M&#x26;S</a> and launching her own decaf coffee line, she also reunited with original castmates <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/james-dunmore-lucy-watson-husband/">Lucy Watson</a> and Rosie Fortescue for spin-off Beyond Chelsea.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/closer-1207.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>‘Within her circle, it’s caused a ripple effect. Other girls are watching closely and quietly reassessing how they handle things themselves,’ the source continues.</p>
<p>‘But some feel the reaction has been over the top, especially given how common these kinds of arrangements are behind the scenes.’</p>

But for some, their god given talent of shaking their booty stood them in good stead for another form of employment that had the flexible working hours required. Ironically those flexible hours also required said employee to be literally flexible enough to master a pole. Yes, stripping, exotic dancing, call it what you will, some of your fave A-listers were once rolling around in the cash albeit on the floor.</p>
<h2>Amber Rose</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.1.jpeg?q=80' alt='Amber Rose' /><p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/why-kanye-west-finds-his-children-triggering/">Kanye West</a>’s former flame <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/amber-rose-khloe-kardashian-shocking-twitter-feud-sister-s-wh-re/">Amber Rose</a> can’t speak any more highly of her time as a stripper, saying, '[It was] the best f--king time of my life. Miss the pole. Got a pole in my fcking house. Getting drunk before you go out there - it was a whole moment.'</p>
<p>Rose who stripped from the ages of 18-25 is vocal about destigmatising stripping as a career. '</p>
<p>Oh my god, I had so much fun. I really did. All the girls were really cool. The guys weren't allowed to touch you. I was never sexually assaulted or [anything]. I was young, beautiful, I was onstage, I wasn't really ashamed of my body. I made lifelong friends.'</p>
<h2>Kendra Wilkinson</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.2.jpeg?q=80' alt='Kendra Wilkinson' /><p>Famed as a one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kendra-wilkinson-slams-marriage-critics-dont-fk-love/">Kendra Wilkinson</a>, star of former reality show, Girls of The Playboy Mansion cut her teeth as a stripper before entering the world of reality star fame. At 18-years-old Kendra said she wanted to see how much money she could make as a stripper, reportedly making $500k before she left the business. She said, 'I’m just like a free spirit, I wanted to see how much money I could earn. I like to party. I like to have fun.'</p>
<h2>Blac Chyna</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.3.jpeg?q=80' alt='Blac Chyna' /><p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/blac-chyna-christian/">Blac Chyna</a> began stripping to save money for college tuition. Even after enrolling, she continued dancing to cover expenses, though balancing school and work proved difficult and she eventually left university. Encouraged by her mother — who had also worked as a stripper — Chyna committed to it full-time. Working at Miami’s famed King of Diamonds club, she reportedly earned up to $15,000 in a single night. With an estimated net worth of around $10 million today, she has said that if fame hadn’t found her, she might still be in the club.</p>
<h2>Lady Gaga</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.4.jpeg?q=80' alt='Lady Gaga' /><p>Lady Gaga is famous for being a multilayered artist so it comes as no surprise that when she worked as a stripper before she became famous, she wasn’t an average stripper. Gaga explained, 'I didn't show too much - I was a burlesque dancer. Because my family's European, for me it wasn't that weird and I didn't do anything super seedy - although my dad didn't think so.'</p>
<p>After dropping out of art school, Gaga worked as a waitress but said, 'I made more money stripping than waitressing.'</p>
<p>She did however continue to work as a waitress in the day and a stripper at night. 'My act was pretty wild. I'd wear black leather and dance to Black Sabbath, Guns N' Roses, and Faith No More. Very rock 'n' roll.'</p>
<p>Gaga’s now worth a reported $320million so those burlesque costumes are probably gathering dust.</p>
<h2>Cardi B</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.5.jpeg?q=80' alt='Cardi B' /><p>Before topping charts and dominating the rap scene, Cardi B was upfront about working as a stripper while chasing her music dreams. Determined to make it in the industry, she used the job to cover her bills and invest in her budding career. By the age of 20, she had reportedly saved $20,000 from dancing — money that helped her take the next steps toward stardom. Now with an estimated net worth exceeding $100 million, Cardi has never shied away from her past. When critics questioned why she mentions it so often, she explained that it’s about challenging stigma and demanding respect — not just for herself, but for other women with similar histories. Her message is clear: someone’s former job doesn’t define their intelligence or their potential. When responding to people questioning her vocal stance on her past she said,'"People say, "Why do you always got to say that you used to be a stripper? We get it."'</p>
<p>Adding, 'The answer to the question is because y’all don’t respect me because of it, and y’all going to respect these strippers from now on… Just because somebody was a stripper don’t mean they don’t have no brain.'</p>
<h2>Channing Tatum</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.6.jpeg?q=80' alt='Channing Tatum' /><p>Channing Tatum turned his insane dance ability and former employment as a stripper into one of the highest paid franchises existing today. If you haven’t seen Magic Mike then you’re probably not breathing. In his professional stripping days, which began when he was the tender age of 19, Channing was known as, ‘Chan Crawford’ and while retelling the story of his stripper past has made him millions, he says he doesn’t miss those days.</p>
<p>'I don't miss anything about stripping,' He said, 'I stripped in Tampa for like, 25 girls, at best. It wasn't glamorous whatsoever, so there's nothing that I miss about stripping.'</p>
<p>He has also notably said that he doesn’t regret it and is in no way ashamed of his past. While stripping in Magic Mike has been incredible lucrative, Tatum said the reality was very different, 'On a good night, I made 150 bucks. On a bad night, 70 bucks - even 50 at times.'</p>
<h2>Nene Leakes</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.7.jpeg?q=80' alt='Nene Leakes' /><p>The Real Housewives of Atlanta star wrote of her stripping past in her memoir, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice saying, 'With every piece of clothing I took off, the more I got my life back,' she went on, 'I worked this body like a well-oiled machine, and every movement got me closer to my goal of financial independence for me and my child.'</p>
<p>Dancing under the name, ‘Silk’ Nene said, 'I remember going home and having something like $1,000 and thinking, "I made $1,000 in one night. Baby, we are doing this tomorrow night."'</p>
<p>The money she made enabled her to pay her rent and bills but now the entrepreneur is worth an estimated $15million.</p>
<h2>Courtney Love</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.8.webp?q=80' alt='Courtney Love' /><p>Before fronting the band Hole, Courtney Love worked as an exotic dancer at venues including Los Angeles’ Jumbo’s Clown Room. Earning around $300 a day, she used the money to help fund her music ambitions. She later reflected that the income allowed her to invest directly into her band’s early needs, helping to launch the career that would eventually make her a rock icon.</p>
<p>'To me back then, 300 bucks in a day was fine,' adding, 'I was able to do the kind of stripper economy which is for every five dollars I made, I would give Eric Erlandson three of them and that's how we bought our van and we bought our backline.'</p>
<h2>Javier Bardem</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.9.jpeg?q=80' alt='Javier Bardem' /><p>Perhaps one of the most unlikely stars who have admitted to a past life as a stripper is Javier Bardem. But it might be because his career in the professional stripping world was so short lived. When Bardem was hired to perform as a stripper, his supportive family came to cheer him on, which turned out to be incredibly ill-advised. 'It was a disaster,' he said in an interview with Ellen Degeneres.</p>
<p>'And you know who was there watching? My mom and my sister. It was kind of a thing – you go there and dance, they pay you some money.'</p>
<p>If news of a Javier Bardem stripping gig were to be advertised now, no doubt legions of fans would be there but that sadly wasn’t the case all those years ago for the then twenty-year-old. Javier explained he was dancing to Leave your hat on, 'There was nobody. I think there were, like, three people there. It was very embarrassing, but I did it. I mean, I'm a performer and I gave my word. So I was a stripper for a day.'</p>
<h2>Chris Pratt</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Celebs-reveal-their-VERY-rude-pasts.10.jpeg?q=80' alt='Chris Pratt' /><p>Before he was a Guardian of The Galaxy, Chris Pratt was guarding a particularly hot body against screaming fans. Among the other jobs that helped to pay the bills, Chris was a waiter, a babysitter and an odd job man, he was also a stripper. He said, 'I was always a very much naked person.'</p>
<p>Chris continued, 'I loved to always get naked. I was very free, so I thought, I may as well get paid.'</p>
<p>For one particular gig Pratt performed at a grandmother’s birthday for the heady fee of $40. Admitting that he was never Magic Mike because he wasn’t ‘a very good dancer’, he now just has a bank account boasting just a teeny tiny, $100million.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>I visited South Lodge hotel and spa in April 2026 with a friend. We were hoping for a relaxing weekend of swanning around in our robes, and my friend loves wild swimming, so she was looking forward to their lake and pond. I’m a strength training girlie so was hoping for a decent session in their gym. I absolutely adore a spa stay and enjoyed my first trip to Champneys ten years ago. I’ve since visited spa around the UK including <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/diet-body/health-fitness/moddershall-oaks-spa-review/">Moddershall Oaks</a> in Staffordshire and the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/diet-body/health-fitness/spa-carden-review/">Spa at Carden</a> in Cheshire.</p>
<h2> Where is South Lodge hotel and spa and who is it best for?</h2>
<p>I travelled from South London by public transport. It’s an easy train journey from London Bridge to Horsham, and then a slightly more convoluted journey by bus. Although you could easily get a taxi from the station, its’ about a 20-minute drive. Having visited, I’d say it’s great for couples, or small friendship groups / girls’ trips.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Camellia-restaurant-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='camellia restaurant at south lodge' /><h2>First impressions: check-in, vibe and setting</h2>
<p>Oh my goodness, it’s grand. My friend and I pulled our wheely suitcases down a sweeping driveway, set in gorgeously landscaped gardens, and accidentally found ourselves in the back of someone’s wedding photos. I’m sure they can remove us with AI. Or maybe they’ll be the happy couples’ favourite pics of the day, who knows?</p>
<p>The hotel is set in an impressive 1800s manor house, and the period wallpaper and wood carvings inside the main house allow you to live your <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/bridgerton-dresses/">Bridgerton</a> fantasy.</p>
<p>Check in was easy, and the staff – as were all the staff – friendly and helpful.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/room-south-lodge-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='suite at south lodge' /><h2>Rooms at South Lodge hotel and spa: comfort, décor and noise levels</h2>
<p>We stayed on the orchids floor in the Evelyn room and it was stunning. My friend said that the bed was the biggest bed she’s ever slept in, and the views out across some of the site’s 92 acres were soothing for the soul, for two South London girlies at least.</p>
<p>The comfort level was great: soft carpets, robes in the bathroom, a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/diet-body/diet-recipes/best-coffee-machines/">coffee machine</a> with full size mugs (important to me) and biscuits to nibble on for a little snacky-snack.</p>
<p>The décor is sympathetic to the house’s Regency roots in the bedroom, but the bathroom is a modern delight with a walk-in rainforest shower, a TV you could watch in the bath, and Molten Brown toiletries a-plenty.  Noise levels were generally very good, although we could hear the couple next door. Maybe they had very loud voices.</p>
<p>Insider tip: there’s an empty vase in the room that you can fill with wildflowers from the grounds. An elegant and thoughtful touch.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Wild-Swimming-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='wild swimming pond' /><h2>The spa and pools: is it relaxing or busy?</h2>
<p>Now, as mentioned above, I love spas. I’ve been to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/diet-body/health-fitness/titanic-spa-huddersfield/">spas in an old mill</a>, and spas where I’ve seen local celebrities in the pool. But I’ve never been anywhere quite as nice as the spa at South Lodge. It is gorgeous. We rocked up at about 3pm and I thought we’d be fighting for a lounger, but there was plenty of space on a sunny Saturday afternoon. We took up residence by the swimming pond, complete with newts, and while I contemplated my toes, my pal got in the gently heated (to 16 degrees – which is too cold for me because I’m a wimp) pool for a swim. There’s an outside bar from which I had a really very nice coffee, and the vibe was calm and peaceful.</p>
<p>There’s also an outside infinity pool with hydrotherapy stations, and inside, a decent sized swimming pool plus one sauna, an aromatic infusion room, and a steam room. Plus, an ice bucket which I did not use as I hate being cold, but I enjoyed watching other people use.</p>
<p>The spa is incredibly clean, the staff very nice, and it feels like a luxurious, relaxing experience. As my friend said to me, ‘We deserve nice things’ and it’s true. We do. You do too.</p>
<p>Insider tip: book wild swimming in advance of your stay as it books up.</p>
<h2>Treatments review: are they worth the extra spend?</h2>
<p>I’m not going to lie; I left it too late to book mine (I tried on the Thursday beforehand and there were no slots left) but my friend had the ‘best of both’ facial and massage and she emerged radiant.</p>
<p>Insider tip: book treatments in advance, I wish I did.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/haddock-scaled.jpeg?q=80' alt='roast haddock with chickpea stew' /><h2>Food and drink: breakfast, dinner and drinks at South Lodge</h2>
<p>We ate dinner at the Botanica restaurant, and it was honestly probably the prettiest food I’ve ever been served at a spa. I went for the haddock with butterbean and cabbage stew, and it was a vast plate of food. Our dinner, breakfast and spa stay came with £50pp dinner allowance, and we had three courses each for that. The Botanica restaurant is in the spa, and it’s a light, airy room with views of the tree tops.</p>
<p>We had breakfast in the Camellia restaurant in a wood panelled room in the main house. I had mushrooms on toast, the nicest smoothie I’ve ever had, and there is a discreet buffet element from which I took a satsuma for breakfast pudding, as is traditional.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/gym-scaled.jpeg?q=80' alt='sweaty betty leggings' /><h2>South Lodge gym: what’s it like?</h2>
<p>I’m running out of adjectives to describe just how darn good everything is at South Lodge. I felt like a pampered Duchess everywhere we went, and that includes the gym. It’s the best hotel gym I’ve ever been in. Spacious, airy, spotlessly clean and new. And with a view of the trees as you work out.</p>
<p><strong>FAQs</strong></p>
<p><strong>Is South Lodge Hotel &#x26; Spa in Horsham worth the price?</strong></p>
<p>Now look, there’s no getting away from the fact that this spa is at the pricier end of the spectrum. But I’d go back in a flash, finances allowing.</p>
<p><strong>How much should I budget for a one-night spa break at South Lodge?</strong></p>
<p>One room for two people starts from £380 with spa access included. <a href="https://www.exclusive.co.uk/south-lodge/"><em>Book a stay South Lodge</em></a>.</p>
<p><strong>Is South Lodge easy to get to from London without a car?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, we got the train from London Bridge followed by a bus, there and back.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It’s the show that had everyone talking last year, thanks to its no-holds barred exploration of sex, intimacy and losing your virginity.</p>
<p>But for this year’s Virgin Island contestants, the show has been a lifeline – enabling them to finally overcome the trauma and sexual repression they’ve struggled with for years. Back for its second series, the Channel 4 docuseries takes 12 people who have never had sex, puts them in a luxury sex retreat on a Croatian island, and immerses them in a crash-course of sexual self-discovery and somatic healing.</p>
<p>It might be exposing – in every sense of the word – but as some of the contestants tell Closer, it’s been a life-changing journey. After all, talking about sex can be tricky – but, having grown up in a religious household, the topic was a non-starter for 22-year-old Joy, from Falmouth. Instead, the event coordinator grew up under a veil of shame when it came to her own burgeoning sexual feelings.</p>
<p>She explains the code of silence was ‘debilitating at times’ – prompting her to repress her desires, emotions, and even questions when it came to something as innocuous as how to insert a tampon. Having signed up for Virgin Island, she now feels ready to unload the weight of all that shame.</p>
<p>‘The purity culture I was raised in does not allow for sexual experiences outside of the heterosexual marriage mould,’ Joy tells us, adding that an unexpected lesson from experience was actually discovering how peaceful life can be without technology. ‘Having three weeks without a phone was an experience I would recommend to anyone, virgin or not! It was weirdly quiet without the notifications and noise, but we all settled in quickly.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/%E2%80%98I-went-on-TV-to-help-me-lose-my-virginity.1.jpg?q=80' alt='Virgin Island for series two' /><p>As well as the religious discomfort that came around talking about sex, Joy says her issues were compounded by vaginismus, a condition where the vagina suddenly tightens and tenses, leading to pain and fear of penetration. Working with the show’s professionals, she finally made some progress in healing herself, both emotionally and physically.</p>
<p>‘Despite having a vaginismus diagnosis for years, I had only made minimal progress and was starting to lose hope of ever being healed,’ she says. ‘Deep down, I think I knew I needed the expert help, and was just hiding behind the humour of it all.’</p>
<p>Like Joy, Ed, 27, from Staffordshire, had also experienced his own sense of physical shame, having been born with Poland Syndrome, which cause limb difference in his arm and hand. As he vulnerably tells Closer, he always worried that girls would think he was ‘weird or gross’ if they got intimate. ‘After seeing series one, the show immediately resonated,’ he says. ‘It felt like a rare chance to get real help with the sex and intimacy issues I’d struggled with for a long time.’</p>
<p>What’s more, he says, it helped ‘meeting 11 others with similar struggles and not feeling along – especially as an older virgin – plus being encouraged to gently expand my boundaries with the experts’.</p>
<p>As for 21-year-old Callum, from Preston, he was looking for all the help he could to start a new life chapter. ‘I wanted to change more than my “virgin” label – I wanted to shift my mindset, get motivated and start living more fully,’ says Callum, who signed up for season two after spending the past two years living a solitary, isolated existence after the death of his father. ‘I’d been spending too much time alone in my room gaming and I knew I needed help to break that pattern.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/%E2%80%98I-went-on-TV-to-help-me-lose-my-virginity.2.jpg?q=80' alt='Ed' /><p>Viewers of Virgin Island’s premiere series last year will recognise the process this time around. Once again, we’ll see participants shore up to the Croatian retreat with a raft of issues to tackle – facing challenges like Joy’s religious shame, body image anxiety, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus and disability.</p>
<p>And, once again, we’ll see groundbreaking sexologists Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman oversee activities as they guide their enlistees through workshops, therapies, and 1-to-1 coaching sessions with their cherry-picked squad of sex experts. Those include certified surrogate partner therapists Kate Slade, Andre Lazarus and Ridson Roberts, who are all qualified to have sex with members of the group as part of their therapy.</p>
<p>Last year, just one contestant – 24-year-old Dave – had sex during the process, with his surrogate partner therapist Kate.</p>
<p>‘I hope people feel more empowered around their own sexuality,’ says Kate, who tells Closer she relishes the chance to help see ‘real, lasting transformations’ in the contestants. ‘In my role as a surrogate partner, I work closely with experiences people often keep private, and that silence can create a lot of isolation. The show helps normalise a wide range of experiences, and reminds people you can start from wherever you are.’</p>
<p>It might sound risqué, but in a world where we’ve become desensitised to rocking beds and snog-a-thons on reality TV, Virgin Island is unique in its more authentic and therapeutic approach to exploring intimacy on camera. Nominated for a BAFTA last year, it’s been praised by some critics for being ‘surprisingly empathetic’ – while others have raised their eyebrows, and a whole lot of ethical questions, over exploring trauma and sexual dysfunction in the name of entertainment.</p>
<p>But - whether the cameras are there or not – lead experts Danielle and Celeste tell us their goal remains the same: helping season two’s virgins ‘reach new heights of confidence, awareness and intimacy in a short period of time’.</p>
<p>Daring to raise some eyebrows yet again, this second series has apparently pushed the boat out when it comes to brand-new experiential workshops – encouraging participants to take part in erotic wrestling, ‘boundary mapping’, and ‘core desires’ classes, which help them embrace and explore their own individual turn-ons.</p>
<p>But, as Joy tells us, some of the biggest ‘eureka’ moments happened off-duty, where – when she wasn’t taking part in therapy work or group activities – she was ‘praying on the porch, watching the water, or dancing around the tent to my mp3 player in the evenings’.</p>
<p>As for whether she did indeed have sex on TV, we’ll have to tune in to find out.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Despite receiving a mixed response from readers, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/prince-william-brutal-verdict-prince-harry-meghan-markle-marriage/">Prince Harry</a>’s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/prince-harry-fury-kate-middleton-betrayal/">autobiography Spare</a> was an undeniable commercial success.</p>
<p>It stands as the fastest-selling non-fiction book in the UK since records began in 1998 and sold over 6 million copies worldwide shortly after its January 2023 release. So, it’s little wonder that a follow up memoir is sitting firmly in the back pockets of Harry and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-dangerous-new-move-netflix-snub/">Meghan Markle</a> as they continue to strategise their next steps, especially as Spare was always intended to be the first in a four-book deal.</p>
<p>There has long been talk of Meghan releasing her own life story, then came reports last week that she’s put the whole idea to bed. We hear that far from ruling out the whole idea, there’s a reason she hasn’t pulled the trigger…just yet.</p>
<p>A source tells us, 'It’s true that Meghan is holding back on a tell-all memoir for now she’s absolutely not opposed to writing one down the line. And it will likely be co-authored with husband Prince Harry.'</p>
<p>The insider says, 'The idea that she’s ruled it out completely just isn’t correct, it’s more that she’s being very strategic about when and how she does it. She knows a tell-all still has huge value, but in order to get the sort of payday she’d like she would have to cover her time within the royal family and what went wrong, and right now that’s the image she and Harry are trying to move away from. So, for the time being it’s something she’s pressed pause.'</p>
<p>The Sussexes famously gave their explosive version of events about their time as working royals via an <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-harry-oprah-archie-skin-colour/">Oprah interview</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-prince-harry-separate-lives-netflix/">a six-part Netflix documentary</a>, as well as Harry’s searing autobiography that laid bare his deeply held grudges against his father and brother.</p>
<p>Since then, Meghan has nurtured her own projects in a bid to make money in a way that doesn’t rely on her links to the royals, with varying success. These include her Spotify podcast Archetypes, her show With Love, Meghan which was part of the Netflix deal, ongoing lifestyle brand As Ever and children’s book The Bench.</p>
<p>Her memoir, when she’s ready to launch, will be carefully measured. She knows people are still fascinated with what really went on with the royals – and apparently, she has more than a few shocks in store – but she doesn’t want her whole career based around that time in her life. She is also aware of avoiding inflicting permanent damage on their extremely fragile relationships with the royal family. It’s a case of weighing all these things up.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-1458568841.jpg?q=80' alt='Prince Harry's book on display in a book store on January 22, 2023' /><p>'When it does happen, she won’t be going rogue, she only wants to do this with Harry’s full support, to the point it may be a joint book, that way they can present a united front and shape the narrative to their liking. However, the issue is what will actually sell because the last thing they want is another flop. The sad truth is the thing most people are still interested in is the drama with his family. So, they’re stuck between a rock and hard place, and both feel the best thing to do is put it to the side, for now.'</p>
<p>The insider continues, 'This tell-all isn’t off the table, it’s parked while they work on mending fences with Harry’s family. She certainly has plenty to gain when she does it, namely a gigantic payday. In a perfect world her brand would take off, and she’d never need to write this book at all, but that’s not something she can bank on, so she’d be crazy not to keep it in play. The kind of money we’re talking about here is enormous, easily on par with what Harry got, and if she plays it right, even more.'</p>
<p>Harry is said to have received around £17 million for writing Spare. The title alludes to his lesser importance to brother William who is heir to the throne. The book infuriated some who felt he unfairly threw his family under the bus, with claims such as William physically pushing Harry to the floor after insulting Meghan, whereas others responded with compassion and sympathy. Other revelations included how he lost his virginity, drug use, killing Taliban fighters and a frostbite injury to his penis.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2270783323.jpg?q=80' alt='Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex arrive at the Australian National Veterans Arts Museum' /><p>As it was reported at the time, Spare was part of a rumoured £30 million four-book deal with publishers Penguin Random House. So, there is certainly scope for a follow up book from Harry and Meghan. And since Spare was enormously profitable, Penguin will surely be only too keen to gear up for the next tell-all book.</p>
<p>And there’s another reason why a highly personal autobiographical tome might service Meghan well: 'She would love to clear up all the false narratives about her. Being able to correct all the lies and tell her side of things properly is so appealing to her. She insists there’s so much more to this story than people know. She claims that if she shares even half of what went down people are going to be stunned by what she endured. It’s laughable to her that what she and Harry shared in their interview with Oprah and in his memoir caused such a stir because she’s sitting on so much more explosive stuff. In a lot of ways, she enjoys having this ace up her sleeve, it’s like a secret retirement fund and retribution package all rolled into one.'</p>
<p>Meghan knows she’s in the driver's seat and can step on the gas any time she wants. 'She is fully aware of the value of what she has, and when she’s ready to unleash it she promises it will be more exposing than anyone can even imagine when it comes to the royals. She insists they know it too and are likely more worried than they let on.'</p>

<p>Following explosive claims from his ex <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/sinitta-good-at-dating/">Sinitta</a> during her stint in the <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/tv-movies/im-a-celebrity-all-stars/">I’m A Celebrity!</a> jungle – where she alleged Simon ‘wasn’t a faithful’ boyfriend and admitted she once ‘genuinely believed’ they’d marry – insiders tell Closer that the revelations have left Lauren fuming, so much so that she’s pulled the plug on their wedding plans for now.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Lauren-Simon.jpg?q=80' alt='Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman' /><p>A source says, ‘Lauren is horrified and it’s all down to the realisation that Sinitta has zero loyalty to them. But despite her latest betrayal, Simon is burying his head in the sand and continues to make excuses for her. Lauren feels like she wants a bit of distance between herself and Simon’s exes. She wants them to move on and stop bringing up the past.’</p>
<p>Sinitta first met Simon more than four decades ago, after becoming the first artist signed to his independent record label. Their professional bond continued into 2004, when she became his trusted sidekick during Judges’ Houses on  <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/x-factor-facts/">The X Factor</a>. That same year, Simon met his now-fiancée Lauren Silverman on a trip to Barbados, though their romance didn’t officially begin until 2013.</p>
<p>The couple sparked marriage rumours last year when Lauren changed her surname to Cowell, but as Closer previously reported, they have yet to tie the knot, with insiders revealing, ‘Lauren officially changed her name for the sake of their son’.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Sinitta-Simon.jpg?q=80' alt='Sinitta and Simon Cowell' /><p>Despite their complicated history, Sinitta, now 62, and Simon have remained close, even holidaying together with Lauren, 48, and the couple’s 12-year-old son, Eric.</p>
<p>‘For years, Lauren convinced herself that bringing Sinitta into the inner circle – inviting her on holidays and making her part of their son’s life – would keep her on side and build trust,’ the source reveals.</p>
<p>‘But watching her on I’m A Celebrity! was a wake-up call as Lauren now realises that Sinitta isn’t just reminiscing, she seems to be auditioning for her own  tell-all book.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Simon-Lauren-Eric-Cowell-1.jpg?q=80' alt='Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman with son Eric' /><p>Now, sources tell Closer that Lauren is growing increasingly uneasy about what else Sinitta might reveal, and has urged Simon to put her first, even if it means cutting ties with his ex.</p>
<p>‘Lauren’s told him that unless he starts to put her first and wake up to the women trying to manipulate and control him, she would walk away. She’s made it clear the wedding is off the table until he stands up and starts protecting her, even if it costs him his relationship with his exes,’ the source says.</p>
<p>The latest news follows reports that Simon’s ex <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/hollywood-most-talked-about-breasts/">Carmen Electra</a> and former American Idol co-star Paula Abdul are also both working on tell-all memoirs. Simon enjoyed a brief romance with the former Baywatch beauty, 53, in 2012, when she was a guest judge on <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/britains-got-talent-chaos-fans-demand-axe-bruno-tonioli/">Britain’s Got Talent</a>. Meanwhile, his work partnership with Paula, 63 – who he starred alongside on American Idol  from 2002 to 2009 – became  a talking point due to their  on-screen chemistry.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Closer-1207.png?q=80' alt='Closer 1207' /><p>‘The shadow of Carmen is looming larger than ever now too and Lauren is convinced that she is watching this play out and seeing blood in the water,’ our insider says.</p>
<p>‘She’s told pals that if Sinitta breaks the seal, Carmen will follow. Lauren’s ultimatum was simple: “Mop up this mess, silence the Harem, and put me  first for once.”</p>
<p>‘Simon’s clearly feeling torn and is devastated by Lauren’s reaction, but he’s also incredibly stubborn and doesn’t take well to ultimatums,’ the source continues.</p>
<p>‘He adores Lauren and doesn’t want to do anything to destroy their relationship, so everyone around them is hoping he does what’s right and proves that she’s the most important woman in his life – even if it means sacrificing the relationships of  those he’s trusted  and relied on for so many years.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>You'd think after watching a gazillion <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> couples split that we'd be immune to the heartbreak but no, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/roman-hackett-towie/">Roman Hackett</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/matilda-draper/">Matilda Draper</a> calling it quits left us devastated at Closer HQ.</p>
<p>Now, neither of them have actually confirmed that they've split, but considering neither of them have appeared on each other's socials in a while it pretty much screams 1,000 words.</p>
<p>So when Matilda posted a TikTok video of herself looking super cosy and sharing a chewing gum (ew!) with another man, fans went wild.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/towie-roman-matilda-hug.jpg?q=80' alt='Roman and Matilda' /><p>'Wait I thought she was with that other guy from TOWIE,' wrote one of her followers.</p>
<p>And someone else commented, 'Moved on quick.'</p>
<p>However Matilda was quick to shut things down as she replied and said, 'Unfortunately he bats for the other team xx.'</p>
<p>It's the first time Matilda has addressed her rumoured split with Roman. Last month <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/matilda-draper-quote-roman-hackett-split/">she did post a cryptic quote</a> on her Instagram Story, but if we're being 100 per cent honest, that could have been about anything.</p>
<p>News first surfaced that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/roman-hackett-matilda-draper-split/">Roman and Matilda split</a> in March and at the time sources said the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2024/">Love Island 2024</a> star was <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/why-roman-hackett-matilda-draper-split/">'devastated' about the split</a>.</p>
<p>Their break up comes just months after Matilda revealed in a TikTok video that they were moving in.</p>
<p>'I'm really excited for Christmas this year, me and Ro are moving in together this month. We have just secured our first flat together. I'm so excited.</p>
<p>'I'm hosting Christmas at mine this year. It's just going to be stunning. I'm excited to decorate for Christmas.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/matilda-roman-towie.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE's Matilda and Roman' /><p>And before that Matilda opened up about their relationship and getting matching tattoos.</p>
<p>‘It has moved so quick, but we are so pure with how much we love each other. We can’t help but be open, which I love,' she exclusively told <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/matilda-draper-roman-hackett-moving-in/">Closer magazine</a>.</p>
<p>'I wouldn’t want someone who was nonchalant. I want someone to be loud about how much they love me!'</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If you’ve watched the last few series of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> then you’ll know that the on/off love affair between <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dan-edgar-towie/">Dan Edgar</a> has been a major storyline, and it looks like that’s going to continue in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">series 37</a> too.</p>
<p>Although <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/chloe-lewis-rare-insight-dan-edgar-romance/">Dan has moved on from Ella</a> with former co-star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/chloe-lewis/">Chloe Lewis</a>, the exes are set to come face-to-face during the cast’s trip to Vietnam, and it looks like things get emotional as first look pictures recently released by ITV show Ella in tears.</p>
<p>Ahead of the series premiere, Ella has opened up about where she stands with Dan now and she’s admitted they ‘can’t be friends’.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/09/towie-ella-dan-crying-series-36.jpg?q=80' alt='towie's ella and dan together' /><p><strong><em>Obsessed with celeb outfits, lifestyle tips and the latest showbiz news?</em></strong> <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk/"><strong><em>Click here</em></strong></a> <strong><em>to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</em></strong></p>
<p>Although they aren’t necessarily on bad terms, Ella explained that being pals with Dan isn’t ‘respectful’ to his relationship with Chloe.</p>
<p>‘We just both worked out that we couldn't be friends at Christmas, not because we were arguing and not because we were annoying each other or digging each other out, it wasn't like that at all,’ she told Closer.</p>
<p>‘It was a mutual decision, because people were picking up on how we were around each other and it's not fair to his girlfriend. We sort of have to nip it in the bud.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/ella-towie-vietnam.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE's Ella Rae Wise crying' /><p>Ella continued, ‘At the end of the day, he has to know how I feel, because my main priority is myself. I'm still not going to be disrespectful to the person that he is with, so it is what it is.</p>
<p>‘We worked out that we couldn't be friends, so I don't know what's going to happen for the rest of the series.’</p>
<p>The reality star, who <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/ella-rae-wise-dan-edgar-split/">broke up with Dan last year</a> shortly before appearing on <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/cbb-fights-controversial-moments/">Celebrity Big Brother</a>, went on to say that they ‘never really faced their emotions’ following their split, which is holding her back from moving on with someone new.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/dan-edgar-chloe-lewis-courtney-green.jpg?q=80' alt='Dan Edgar, Chloe Lewis and Courtney Green' /><p>‘The thing is with me and Dan, when we broke up, we never really spoke about it. We never really closed that book and we never really faced our emotions and feelings. We're like the same person. We find it very easy to just put these walls up like everything's OK and not address how you're feeling or speak,’ Ella added.</p>
<p>‘I feel like the beginning of Vietnam…it felt like that a little bit for me. So, when we see each other, all these feelings come back up and reignite. It's hard, but that's why I haven't moved on with anyone, because I know I'm not really there. I'm not gonna be in something with someone else, and I still have feeling for someone else, because I'm never staying true to myself.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>She’s put on an unflinchingly brave face while weathering the storm of a family rift with her eldest son <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/brooklyn-beckham-victoria-david-birthday/">Brooklyn</a> and daughter-in-law <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-nicola-peltz-messages-expose/">Nicola Peltz</a>.</p>
<p>And <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-secret-face-to-face-brooklyn/">Victoria Beckham</a> was dealt another blow last week, after <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-fresh-heartbreak-cruz/">her son Cruz</a> revealed that she’d had all her tattoos removed – including loving tributes to husband David – sending the rumour mill into overdrive about the state of their marriage.</p>
<p>Despite the drama, it seemed like business as usual for Victoria, who was seen soaking up the sun in Miami with David. But behind the scenes, sources tell Closer that Cruz’s revelation has plunged her further into despair, as she tries to promote a rock-solid family image while battling to keep everyone on the same page – sparking tension with David.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/david-vic-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Posh is feeling the pressure amid marriage woes' /><p>‘Victoria is absolutely in pieces,’ an insider says. ‘She’s spent 30 years meticulously crafting the “Brand Beckham” image of the perfect, unbreakable family, and now she feels like her own children are the ones tearing it down.</p>
<p>‘Cruz’s loose lips have sent her into a total spiral. For Victoria, he has just handed the public the smoking gun they needed to suggest it’s all a front. The atmosphere between David and Vic is at a real low.’</p>
<p>Despite his unwavering support for his parents, Cruz inadvertently dug himself into a hole after an Instagram follower asked him whether Victoria – who turned 52 last week – had any tattoos, to which he replied, ‘No, not anymore.’</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/cruz-clo-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Cruz let slip that Posh has had all her tattoo tributes covered' /><p>Among her six inkings, Victoria had David’s initials on her wrist, alongside the words, ‘Together, forever, eternally’ in Hebrew, plus the date of their wedding renewals in 2006 in Roman numerals, ‘VIII-V-MMVI’. In addition, she had five stars on her lower back to represent her, David, 50, and their three sons – Brooklyn, 27, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-brooklyn-romeo-bekcham-feud/">Romeo, 23,</a> and Cruz, 21 – though it’s not known whether she added another star after <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-make-harper-next-kylie-jenner/">daughter Harper’s birth</a> in 2011. She also had a Hebrew poem extract running down her spine that read, ‘I am my beloved’s and  my beloved is mine’.</p>
<p>Cruz’s revelation only added to the whispers that Victoria and David – who tied the knot in 1999 – are struggling behind the scenes. As scrutiny soared last week, David did nothing to temper the situation as he posted a topless picture from Miami – where the family have a home – showing off his own hefty collection of tattoos.</p>
<p>Victoria – who posted her own snap in a black swimsuit – was quick to comment, writing, ‘Someone has been in the gym!!!’ alongside heart and flame emojis. But that didn’t stop followers speculating over the apparent subtext, with many seeing David’s picture as a subtle dig towards a now tattoo-less Victoria.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/david-closer-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='David was joined by his family in Miami' /><p>‘It made it clear to everyone that he knows the truth – it’s a symbolic erasure of their history. It felt like a public admission that they’re no longer on the same page,’ says the source. ‘They are in completely different places emotionally. They’ve been retreating to separate parts of their Cotswolds estate for months, and David wants to spend more time in Miami  just to have a fresh start away from all the pressures they’ve been recently under.’</p>
<p>The Beckhams have suffered a traumatic year in the wake of eldest son Brooklyn’s very public estrangement. Brooklyn spent a large part of 2025 snubbing his parents, but he lashed out in January after <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/brooklyn-beckham-tell-all-diaries-david-panic/">releasing a six-page online tirade.</a> In his post, he accused them of trying to hijack his and wife Nicola Peltz’s 2022 wedding, claiming they’d controlled him his entire life and declaring he did not want to make amends. Twisting the knife, he said his parents had forever ‘controlled narratives in the press’, adding, ‘Brand Beckham comes first’.</p>
<p>Breaking her silence for the first time last week, Victoria said, ‘We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children. And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/brooklyn-closer-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Brooklyn and wife Nicola remain estranged from the Beckham family' /><p>Having the family brand so publicly attacked – by her son, no less – was the ultimate blow. But, as Closer’s source explains, the knocks keep coming, thanks to her and David’s inability to sing from the same song sheet. At a time when they should stay united, Vic apparently feels ‘at total loggerheads’ with her husband.</p>
<p>‘They are effectively blaming each other for the estrangement,’ our insider says. ‘Victoria wants to keep pleading, keep sending olive branches to Brooklyn, and keep the door open at any cost, whereas David is much more “old school”. He feels they’ve been disrespected and wants to wait for Brooklyn to come back in his own time.’</p>
<p>For now, we’re told Victoria’s determined to do what she does best – put on a brave face. But behind the scenes, she and David are struggling.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/closer-1207.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>‘With everything else going on and the heartbreak over their estrangement from Brooklyn, Cruz’s confession felt like the final straw,’ our source adds.</p>
<p>‘Victoria was already at breaking point, and now she feels like the world is laughing at her. She’s told pals that Brooklyn called it a charade, and now her own husband and youngest son are proving him right.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>We’re just a few days away from the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">series 37</a> premiere of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> and if what the cast are saying about the show is anything to go by, it’s going to kick off with a bang.</p>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy Jay</a> recently opened up about <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay-freddie-bentley-feud/">the ‘divide’ between the cast</a> following her row with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a>, while <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a> has admitted she gets involved too after stepping in to defend Freddie.</p>
<p>But it sounds like it’s not just Freddie and Dani who have Livvy in their bad books as long-running cast member <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-diags/">Diags</a>’ girlfriend <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/jodie-wells/">Jodie Wells</a> has admitted she’s not a fan of her co-star.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/jodie-wells-towie.jpg?q=80' alt='Jodie Wells' /><p><strong><em>Obsessed with celeb outfits, lifestyle tips and the latest showbiz news?</em></strong> <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk/"><strong><em>Click here</em></strong></a> <strong><em>to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</em></strong></p>
<p>Speaking out in a video posted to the official TOWIE Instagram account, Jodie said, ‘I don’t really f--k with Livvy.</p>
<p>‘She’s not really my sort of person and I’ve realised that over the last few months.’</p>
<p>One person who Jodie definitely f--ks with, however, is <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid Ahmed</a>, who appeared in the video alongside her.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/livvy-jay-towie.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE's Livvy Jay' /><p>She explained, ‘We’ve obviously got really close this time around. I mean, we’ve always been friends, but this time I feel like we are the best of friends.’</p>
<p>Junaid responded, ‘We are the best of friends and we have so much fun. You’re confident, Jode, and I think around us as well, me and you have spent so much time together, your confidence as come out so much.</p>
<p>‘You’re opinionated and you’re fiery.’</p>
<p>The beef between Livvy, Freddie, Dani and Jodie isn’t the only feud that’s bubbling in series 37 as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/ella-rae-wise-elma-pazar-feud/">Ella Rae Wise recently revealed she’s been having agg with Elma Pazar</a>.</p>
<p>The pair have had a chequered past but they were on good terms last time we checked. However, that’s all changed.</p>
<p>'The dynamics are quite weird. Girlband is minuscule, I felt that I was going to have a nice experience out here with the girls but that hasn't really gone that way,' Ella explained.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/towie-ella-rae-wise.jpg?q=80' alt='towie's ella rae wise' /><p>‘I've got my own individual problem with them because they can't get their nose out of my business,’ she added, before referring to Elma directly.</p>
<p>'She needs to put her two pence piece back in her wallet.’</p>

<p>If you ever wondered how <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/susanna-reid-piers-morgan-good-morning-britain/">Susanna managed to deal with her former outspoken GMB co-host Piers Morgan</a>, she's spoken about their TV relationship and admitted, "The chemistry somehow works. I’m not really quite sure why. But, I have a newfound respect for Piers' actual wife Celia Walden, because I have to play his TV wife three mornings a week.</p>
<p>"People say, 'How do you put up with him?' and I say, 'Think of Celia. Just think of Celia.' All hail the queen of tolerance and patience!"</p>
<p>After <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/susanna-reid-quit-gmb/">Piers stormed off the GMB set and quit the show</a> in 2021, they no longer co-host the programme together.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Nylon stockings have recently celebrated a big birthday. So while we say happy 90th to the greatest thing ever to happen to womens’ legs – let’s celebrate with this raunchy peek at the very best stocking fillers...</p>
<h2>Olivia Attwood</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/olivia-attwood.jpg?q=80' alt='olivia attwood' /><p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a>'s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/olivia-attwood/">Olivia Attwood</a> turned up the temperature when she posted this image of her in bed showing off her hosiery with the caption ‘Been busy – needed a lie down’. We have a strong suspicion that her male fans were also in need of a lie down after clocking this image. Recently single after <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/olivia-attwood-moving-on-bradley-dack-split/">splitting from her footballer 'husband' Bradley Dack</a>, she’s unlikely to need extra time before she scores with a new man.</p>
<h2>Sydney Sweeney</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Meet-the-sexy-celebs-whove-taken-the-hot-hosiery-trend-thigh-high.6.jpg?q=80' alt='SYDNEY SWEENEY' /><p>Taking time out from her busy acting career to promote her SYRN lingerie label, it looks like <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/sydney-sweeney-frozen-out-industry/">Sydney Sweeney</a>’s risking a nasty prick… from one of those rose thorns, obvs. Famously her grandparents once said she had ‘the best tits in Hollywood’. Sydney goes to show here that her tush is also legendary when paired up with a sexy stockings and suspenders combo. TOO HOT.</p>
<h2>Kylie Jenner</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Meet-the-sexy-celebs-whove-taken-the-hot-hosiery-trend-thigh-high.1.jpg?q=80' alt='KYLIE JENNER' /><p>Bringing a pop of colour to proceedings, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kylie-jenner-timothee-chalamet-baby/">Kylie Jenner</a>’s bright red stockings would raise the heart rate of any red-blooded male. In this shot, taken for Interview mag, she also appears to have taken up eating rose petals. Could that be the secret to her gorgeous legs? If so, sign us up for a dozen red roses – we have a salad to prepare.</p>
<h2><strong>Helen Flanagan</strong></h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Meet-the-sexy-celebs-whove-taken-the-hot-hosiery-trend-thigh-high.5.jpg?q=80' alt='HELEN FLANAGAN' /><p>Former British soap star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/helen-flanagan-relationship-history/">Helen Flanagan</a> is no stranger to the delights of a stocking and she regularly teases her Insta fans with a glimpse of her latest lingerie purchase. What a minx. Here she is, going upstairs to bed and giving us a rear-ly cheeky pose. She captioned this pic ‘on the naughty list’ – don’t be silly, Helen, you look extra nice from this angle.</p>
<h2>Heidi Klum</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Meet-the-sexy-celebs-whove-taken-the-hot-hosiery-trend-thigh-high.4.jpg?q=80' alt='HEIDI KLUM' /><p>You can always rely on supermodel Heidi Klum to bring a sense of sophistication to the party – and this sensational shoot for Calzedonia shows why she’s still wowing fans at the age of 52. Those legs are screaming ’20-something’ to us. Heidi recently got a backlash for posing for a lingerie ad with her 21-year-old daughter. If you ask us it’s good to hear that Leni is keeping the family business going…</p>
<h2><strong>Abbey Clancy</strong></h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Meet-the-sexy-celebs-whove-taken-the-hot-hosiery-trend-thigh-high.2.jpg?q=80' alt='ABBEY CLANCY' /><p>Famed for her endless legs [to be fair, her 6ft7in former England soccer star husband <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/peter-crouch-abbey-clancy-bedroom-miracle/">Peter Crouch</a>’s are even more endless], <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/abbey-clancy-ff-winter-edit/">Abbey Clancy</a> has made her mark on the modelling world over the years. She recently revealed that her sex fantasy would involve Peter dressing up in a ‘sex Viking’ costume. We imagine his fantasy for her – like most men – would just be the outfit she’s pictured in here.</p>
<h2>Madonna</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Meet-the-sexy-celebs-whove-taken-the-hot-hosiery-trend-thigh-high.3.jpg?q=80' alt='MADONNA' /><p>When it comes to sexy stocking action, pop icon <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/guy-ritchie-madonna-help/">Madonna</a> has been there, done that, done it again and is STILL doing it. She’s rocked fishnets like no other and has done more for suspenders than the Golden Gate Bridge. And at 67 she’s still doing it better than anyone else – all hail the High Priestess of Hosiery.</p>
<h2>Kim Kardashian</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Meet-the-sexy-celebs-whove-taken-the-hot-hosiery-trend-thigh-high.jpg?q=80' alt='KIM KARDASHIAN' /><p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kim-kardashian-meltdown-jeff-bezos-wedding/">Kim Kardashian</a>'s been breaking the internet for years with her risque shots (well, it’s either that or our Wi-Fi is on the blink). And thanks to her SKIMS range of shapewear, she’s often to be found on her Insta giving fans an eyeful. Here she is in a Fendi outfit and perhaps the sexiest pair of tights we’ve ever seen. You go girl.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>We honestly thought the biggest drama on <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> this season would be around <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a>'s epic fallout at the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-christmas-episode/">Christmas special</a>, but oh how we're wrong.</p>
<p>Judging by the trailer, it looks like <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert-livvy-jay-feud/">a new feud is brewing</a> as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a> has beef with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy Jay</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley-coach-trip-argument/">Freddie has spoken out about a 'screaming match'</a> that happens in Vietnam and in one of the biggest plot twists EVER it looks like <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry Derbidge</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid Ahmed</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe Blackman</a> have moved on from their feud.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/towie-junaid-joe.jpg?q=80' alt='towie junaid ahmed and joe blackman' /><p>Not only that but it looks like Ella is feuding with one of her former pals on the show - and no, we're not talking about her ex BFF Freddie as they've already fallen out. It looks like Ella is feuding with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/elma-pazar/">Elma Pazar</a> in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">series 37</a> which is a surprise because the last we remember, they were on okay terms.</p>
<p>'The dynamics are quite weird. Girlband is minuscule, I felt that I was going to have a nice experience out here with the girls but that hasn't really gone that way,' she said in a TOWIE interview.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/10/ella-dan-split-towie.jpg?q=80' alt='Ella Rae Wise and Dan Edgar' /><p>Ella went on to explain, 'I've got my own individual problem with them because they can't get their nose out of my business.</p>
<p>'She needs to put her two pence piece back in her wallet.'</p>
<p>And when Dani asked who she was talking about, Ella simply said, 'Elma.'</p>
<p>If you cast your mind back to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-33-finale/">series 33</a>, the TOWIE cast were in Bali together and all was well with Ella and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-girl-band/">Girlband</a>. In fact, it was just the series before (series 32) that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/amber-turner-ella-rae-wise-feud/">Ella went on a night out with the girls</a> and even carried on celebrating in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/amber-turner-towie/">Amber Turner</a>'s house.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/01/towie-elma-chloe-courtney-amber.jpg?q=80' alt='towie elma chloe courtney and amber' /><p>Unfortunately when the cast went to Bali, Ella and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dan-edgar-towie/">Dan Edgar</a> (aka Amber's ex) had a 'holiday romance' and that pretty much meant the end of her friendship with Girlband.</p>
<p>However in October last year, it appeared that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/ella-rae-wise-elma-pazar-friends/">Ella and Elma had moved on from their beef</a> after they were spotted on each other's social media.</p>
<p>Looks like the girls have fallen out AGAIN, luckily we don't have long to find out what's happened as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/when-does-towie-start-again/">TOWIE series 37 airs</a> on Sunday 26 April.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If you had asked anyone last year which <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid Ahmed</a> was shading in the most savage way, the name <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry Derbidge</a> would probably have been out of their mouths before you finished the question; what with the whole Junaid x Harry x <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe Blackman</a> love triangle that divided the entire cast.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/TOWIE-Junaid-Joe-holiday.jpg?q=80' alt='Joe and Junaid' /><p><em><strong>Obsessed with celeb outfits, lifestyle tips and the latest showbiz news?</strong></em> <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>Click here</em></strong></a> <em><strong>to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</strong></em></p>
<p>But that was then and this is now, fast forward to April 2026 and not only are the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/harry-derbidge-junaid-ahmed-new-chapter/">three of them on relatively good terms</a>, at least according to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a> and Joe that is, but the frenemies have apparently been doing shots on their Vietnam vacay.</p>
<p>So who is it that Junaid claims has been telling 'complete lies' we hear you ask? Well during a chat with Closer, the beauty babe spilled all the tea on the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">upcoming series of TOWIE</a> - and then some.</p>
<p>'I don't want to row, but, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/elma-pazar/">Elma [Pazar]</a>, this trip, I don’t know how bored she was, but she was stirring a lot and going back and forth with information,' he revealed.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/TOWIE-Elma-Courtney-.jpg?q=80' alt='Elma and Courtney' /><p>'Her and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/courtney-green-towie/">Courtney [Green]</a> ended up saying I said something about <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/jodie-wells/">Jodie [Wells],</a> which was complete lies,' he told us, 'but other than that, I had a great, great holiday.'</p>
<p>Having seen Elma take part in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> twice we know that she can most certainly hold her own in a row, after all she bickered with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-ekin-su/">Ekin-su Cülcüloğlu</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-curtis-pritchard/">Curtis Pritchard</a> non-stop during her <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2025/">All Stars</a> Stint. As for Courtney, we are used to her just chilling with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/chloe-meadows-towie/">Chloe Meadows</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/amber-turner-towie/">Amber Turner,</a> but now that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/chloe-meadows-break/">Chloe has quit</a> and Amber is a part-timer perhaps she'll be in thick of it when it comes to causing chaos.</p>
<p>In a sneak peak video for season 37, that the official TOWIE instagram shared on their grid, Junaid is joined by Jodie, where he once again mentions not just Elma but <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy Jay</a> as well.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/towie-coutney-row.jpg?q=80' alt='Courtney' /><p>'People are trying to cause drama with me. I genuinely don't have time for it,' he declared, 'but the likes of Elma and Livvy just want to cause some drama and have unfollowed me on social media.'</p>
<p>Bold moves from the girlies; everybody knows, in the world of reality TV and influencing, if you unfollow someone on social media you might as well declare them an enemy.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If you’re trying to make your wardrobe more sustainable this year, bamboo bras are such an easy win. They’re comfortable, stylish, and good for the planet, so you get all the support you need while also making a better choice. It’s one of those pieces that feels good to wear and even better to own.</p>
<p>Sustainable fashion isn’t just a trend anymore; it’s becoming part of everyday style. Bamboo is leading the way because it can be turned into a fabric called bamboo viscose, which feels light, breathable, and strong, so it’s practical as well as comfortable. It proves that eco-friendly fashion doesn’t have to mean boring or basic.</p>
<h2>Closer's pick of the best bamboo bras, at a glance:</h2>
<p><strong>Editor's choice:</strong> <a href="https://uk.stepone.life/products/womens-smoothfit-padded-bra-espresso-tini" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">SmoothFit Padded Bra, £19 on Step One</a><br>
<strong>Best non-wired bamboo bra:</strong> <a href="https://www.bluebella.com/products/lulu-soft-bra-mint?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Lulu Bamboo Bralette Mint, £12 was £30, from Bluebella</a><br>
<strong>Best low-impact workout bamboo bra</strong>: <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/DANISH-ENDURANCE-Womens-Racerback-X-Small/dp/B0854GLVWK/?tag=qcloserarticle696-21" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Danish Endurance Seamless Bamboo Bra, £16.95 was £19.95, from Amazon</a><br>
<strong>Best value bamboo bra:</strong> <a href="https://boody.co.uk/products/shaper-bra" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Seamfree Crop Bamboo Bra, £17.95 from Boody</a></p>
<p>When it comes to comfort, bamboo bras really go the distance as the material is naturally gentle on your skin. But, if you thought they only came in simple, everyday styles, you'd be wrong. You can find endless options in a bunch of fabulous colours (and matching sets), so you don’t have to compromise on style.</p>
<p>So, now that you're a bamboo buff, let's find you some of the best bamboo bras to behold, whether it be a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-nursing-bras/">nursing bra</a>, the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fitness/best-supportive-sports-bra/">best workout bra</a> or just your favourite bralette - here are our top picks below.</p>
<h2>How we tested the best bamboo bras:</h2>
<p>We’ve selected and tested a few bamboo bras with the Closer online team, so we know how they feel in real life. Comfort was a big factor - the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-bras/">best bras</a> had to stay soft on the skin and comfy all day without digging in or pinching. Fit was super important too; we checked if they stayed put because no one wants to keep adjusting their bra. Support and shape mattered as much as comfort since bamboo bras should lift and hold like your favourite everyday bra, while feeling light and breathable.</p>

The bamboo fabric feels super gentle on the skin and really airy, so it doesn’t dig in or make you feel sweaty even when going for a run or hitting a pilates class. It’s wire-free but still keeps everything in place thanks to the padding and wide underband, so there’s no slipping or constant adjusting. The seamless design makes it disappear under clothes, which is a huge win because nobody wants bra lines showing. The fit does shift a bit depending on your size, but it still feels comfy, flexible, and perfect for all-day wear. It’s cute, comfy, and versatile, so you can wear it for workouts, running errands, or just chilling at home. Honestly, it’s the kind of bra you barely notice but still looks and works great every time.  

Our Commercial Content Writer, :aAdejumoke Ilori{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/adejumoke-ilori/' target='\_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener'}, says: "I got the Step One SmoothFit Padded Bra to test, and honestly, I’m obsessed. I’ve worn it on jogs, indoor yoga, and just chilling at home, and it feels so soft and breathable that I barely notice I’m wearing it. The bamboo fabric is super gentle on my skin and doesn’t get sweaty or scratchy even when I’m moving around a lot. The padding gives me enough support without being bulky, and it’s wire-free, so nothing digs in or feels annoying, which is honestly a lifesaver.  

"It’s surprisingly supportive for a non-wired bra. I usually go for underwire because I need that lift, but this one keeps everything in place during workouts and even when I’m just running errands or hanging out at home. The seamless design makes it invisible under clothes, and the espresso colour looks so cute and classy. Overall, it’s comfy, cute, and eco-friendly, and I would definitely recommend it if you want something that works for both workouts and everyday wear."

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Following an explosive summer series of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> and an equally explosive (but in a kinda festive way - like a Christmas cracker) <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-christmas-episode/">Christmas special</a>, fans will be excited to learn that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">series 37</a> is fast approaching.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/junaid-ahmed-brother-wedding.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE cast' /><p>And we really mean that, having returned back to the UK after a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley-new-era/">chaotic cast holiday to Vietnam</a>, the guys and girls of Essex will be back on our screens before the month is up as the return date has been confirmed as Sunday 26 April.</p>
<p>But what can we expect from the new series of TOWIE, and when does it start?</p>
<p>Will <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/chloe-lewis/">Chloe Lewis</a> FINALLY return hand-in-hand with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dan-edgar-towie/">Dan Edgar</a>? What's the latest with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley?</a> Are <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/amy-childs-towie/">Amy Childs</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/lauren-goodger-towie/">Lauren Goodger</a> still being as iconic as they always have been? (That one's a no brainer)</p>
<p>And, sorry, are <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry Derbidge</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid Ahmed</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe Blackman</a> all friends again?</p>

Us too. <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk">Click here</a> to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</strong></em></p>
<h2>When does TOWIE start?</h2>
<p>It has been confirmed that The Only Way is Essex will be back Sunday 26 April 2025 with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert-livvy-jay-feud/">A LOT of drama.</a></p>
<h2>Who is taking part in the new series of TOWIE?</h2>
<p>Perhaps it would be easier if we told you who <em>wasn't</em> part of the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/cast-who-is-on-the-show/">TOWIE cast</a>...</p>
<p>We know that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley-quits-series-37/">Freddie Bentley has 'stepped away' from filming</a> the last few episodes of series 37, but he did film in Vietnam and here and there in Essex.</p>
<p>We also know that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/chloe-meadows-break/">Chloe Meadows is taking a break</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/roman-hackett-quits/">Roman Hackett and his Love Island girlfriend Matilda Draper have quit</a>, as has <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/sammy-root-quits/">Love Island star Sammy Root</a>.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/12/towie-freddie-2025.jpg?q=80' alt='Freddie' /><h2>Who are the new TOWIE cast members?</h2>
<p>The <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/new-boys-jonnie-joe-gurie-josh-francis/">newest cast members</a> to join TOWIE are Jonnie and Joe Gurie who are 19-year-old twins from Essex. They've already got a few thousand followers on TikTok and regularly promote <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dan-edger-new-job/">Dan's haircare brand</a>, so we're sure that'll be a topic of conversation on the new series.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/towie-jonnie-joe-josh-dan-wills.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE's Wills Childs, Dan Edgar, Josh Francis and Jonnie and Joe Gurie' /><p>Another newbie heading on to the show is Josh Francis who has already been spotted filming with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/wills-childs/">Will Childs</a> and Dan. Speaking about his new reality TV role, he said, 'TOWIE is a completely new opportunity, definitely one that I’d never get on a building site. I’m buzzing to step out of my comfort zone and start my TOWIE experience.'</p>
<p>We also know that Wills - <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/amy-childs-towie/">Amy Childs</a>' brother - has been upgraded to a full-time cast member.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/11/wills-childs-towie.jpg?q=80' alt='Wills Childs and Amy Childs on TOWIE' /><h2>What happened on TOWIE series 36?</h2>
<p>It saw the reunion of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/ella-rae-wise-dan-edgar-split/">Ella and Dan who had split</a> prior to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/ella-rae-wise-celebrity-big-brother/">Ella's stint on Celebrity Big Brother</a>, with mentions of his romance with Chloe making an appearance.</p>
<p>Harry fell out with Saff as well as Freddie and he FINALLY received an apology (kind of) from Junaid.</p>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/elma-pazar-sammy-root-split/">Elma and Sammy called time on their romance</a>, leaving a heartbroken Sammy crying at the pool – there was also a VERY heated debate between literally every cast member. Something about the cast not supporting Ella on CBB when she supported all of them? We were too transfixed by the discussion about mermaids, tbh.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2024/03/LIVVY-BECKS-HARRY-COURT-AMBER-CHLOE-TOWIE.jpg?q=80' alt='towie cast on holiday' /><p>A new cast member rocked up in the form of Amy's cousin, Wills and he caught the eye of Ella, Saff and Elma; he ended teaching them all racket ball in an episode, but that was about it. Well, until the auction event where Saff decided to wind Ella up in front of literally everyone, including her ex, Dan. Claiming Ella wanted to go on a date with Wills, despite her declaring, 'Thanks, but no thanks.'</p>
<p>Saff also found herself in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/chloe-meadows-towie/">Chloe Meadows</a>' bad books at some point throughout the series, which isn't exactly much of a surprise as those two haven't ever really seen eye to eye. She did also refer to Harry as, 'Amber with a cropped back and sides' – LOL. So we assume Saff and Amber are no longer pals, then.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2024/03/towie-saff-mad.jpg?q=80' alt='Saff' /><p>Elsewhere, Dani and Junaid appeared to end the show on semi-talking terms and all was <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/ben-holbrough-dani-imbert/">revealed about the Dani</a> x <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/tommy-bradley/">Tommy Bradley</a> x<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/ben-holbrough/">Ben Holbrough</a> kiss fiasco.</p>

<p>We'll be honest, we didn't gel with last year's series - there was just something about an I'm A Celeb series filmed months ahead of time that gave us the ick; but the tasks have upped, the stakes have been upped and the returning celebs are chef's kiss.</p>
<p>One of the returning celebs is comedian Seann Walsh who has been cracking his campmates, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kelly-brook-ant-and-dec-revenge/">Ant and Dec</a> and the nation up.</p>

<p>In 2018, Sean and Katya - who were dance partners that year - found themselves in hot water when they were caught kissing.

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5ba0/e351/926b/4063/f10e/2537/seann-walsh-katya-jones.jpg?q=80' alt='Seann Walsh and Katya Jones' /><p>After the photos blew up, the pair did the classic 'dance of shame' comeback on the show, then issued public apologies for their behaviour, with the fallout hitting Seann especially hard (his relationship with then-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries ended soon after).</p>
<p>Katya was married to Strictly professional <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/neil-jones-strictly-come-dancing/">Neil Jones</a> at the time of the scandal. They separated the following year.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If there is one <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> star that you can rely on to bring the drama, it's <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a>, he may be one of the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/cast-who-is-on-the-show/">newest members</a> to join the Essex clan, but Freddie will always be on hand to offer his honest thoughts. No matter what, the reality TV star is more than happy to have a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay-freddie-bentley-feud/">screaming match</a> across the pool / bar / park / bus - wherever he needs to, if the occasion calls for it.</p>
<p>By now, everybody has surely seen the trailer for the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">new series</a> - which is set to air Sunday 26 April by the way, so get that series record ready - and the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert-livvy-jay-feud/">drama sure is drama-ing</a>. As a lead up to the new season ITV have been dropping clips over on the official TOWIE Instagram featuring each cast member chatting about how their time on the new season played out.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/10/towie-freddie-bentley.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE's Freddie Bentley' /><p>For his VT, Freddie was joined by <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe Blackman</a>, and of course their interview was dripping with iconic one liners and some savage call outs to their co-stars.</p>
<p>'Obviously me and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry [Derbidge]</a> do not get along, I think I've fully accepted that we are never going to be friends,' Freddie admitted.</p>
<p>It's crazy to believe that a year ago Freddie and Harry were not only pals, but shared a cheeky kiss and now they're practically mortal enemies.</p>
<p>Joe also declared that they needed to talk about the 'coach trip' which is apparently where a great deal of the feuding occurred.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/08/towie-harry-freddy.jpg?q=80' alt='Harry and Freddie' /><p>'It was horrendous,' Freddie sighed.</p>
<p>When Joe went on to say it 'went from zero to 100 in seconds', Freddie was quick to shut that comment down by confessing he couldn't help but go full force.</p>
<p>'No I didn't even start at zero I went straight to 100,' Freddie admitted, 'I've heard a lot of people speak about me so I've got on a coach and ripped into everyone.'</p>
<p>'I did say a few things,' Freddie confessed, 'oh God.'</p>
<p>It wouldn't be a TOWIE episode without somebody saying things they shouldn't and everybody at each other throats, and apparently that's exactly what happened.</p>
<p>'It started because of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid [Ahmed]</a>,' Joe confessed, bring his boyfriend into the equation, 'he overhead people speaking.'</p>
<p>It turns out that certain members from the TOWIE bunch were speaking behind each other people's back and Junaid took it upon himself to tell his co-stars they should be more open and honest with each other.</p>
<p>'It became really open and then Freddie was having a screaming match with nearly every person,' Joe laughed.</p>

M&#x26;S has long been our go-to for fashion must-haves, from <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/marks-and-spencer-barrel-jeans/">barrel jeans</a> to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/marks-and-spencer-carrot-jeans/">carrot jeans</a>, and even an extensive range of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-dresses/">everyday dresses</a>. Despite its offering of chic, high-quality clothing, M&#x26;S tends to be on the more affordable side, which explains why pieces in its 'new in' collection usually aren't around for long.</p>
<p>It seems as though spring is in the air, and we're optimistic that the weather is warming up. It's that time of year when we're trying to balance <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-knitwear/">knitwear</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/marks-and-spencer-coat-sale/">coats</a> with our <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-of-marks-and-spencer-holiday-shop/">holiday wardrobes</a>, as many of us plan to jet off for warmer weather abroad.

<p>With that in mind, and as Senior Commercial Content Writer at Closer, I scrolled through every item in the M&#x26;S new in section (yes, really), selecting some of the hottest trending picks for the season ahead. My personal favourite? I think it has to be the <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/linen-rich-lightweight-quilted-jacket/p/clp60784630?color=STONE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Linen Rich Lightweight Quilted Jacket</a>.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Everyone has a price right? An amount of money so enticing that they would do anything to get their hands on it, should it be offered. When it comes to sexy social media platforms the stakes are high, celebs make literally millions providing the kind of photos and videos that their subscribers want. So, when stars are asked for... let’s call them 'special requests', sometimes that good old hard cash can be hard to turn down. Luckily for us celebrities LOVE nothing more than to chit chat and spilling the tea on some of the more alternative requests is frankly incredibly entertaining. Here for your reading pleasure, we are delving right in…</p>
<h2>Lauren Goodger</h2>
<p>Ugg boots, the slipper that has become acceptable to wear to the shops is also a coveted item for one of Lauren’s subscribers. But, says <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/lauren-goodger-towie/">Lauren Goodger</a>, the offer of £2,500 for her Uggs was made under strict conditions. 'They wanted me to run in them, wear them all day and they said, "I want them to smell."' Despite the bizarre request, Lauren rakes in an impressive 30K a month on the platform. And the 39-year-old <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> star said that she will indulge in other special requests which she prices at a starting fee of £6.5k. She was even offered £150k for one night with a subscriber, an offer she said she turned down. While she has never confirmed if she did in fact sell her stinky, used Uggs, we haven’t seen her wearing them lately…</p>
<h2>Sami Sheen</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-03-at-13.49.16_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Sami Sheen' /><p>Daughter of Charlie Sheen and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/denise-richards-surgery-after-divorce/">Denise Richards</a> has become one of the internets most lucrative stars since joining the platform aged 18 in 2022. Since then, she has amassed over $3million from sharing lingerie and swimsuit photos. The star, now 21 has stated that she will not share full frontal nudity but has revealed that one subscriber asked her to get intimate in the bathroom. She said, 'People will request the craziest things… they’ve requested weird things, like dipping my foot in the toilet. I’m like, "Why does that turn you on? Is my foot going into a toilet? That’s weird, but ok, why not."'  She added, 'I honestly really do have cute feet, so I don’t blame them.' And in one admission that is no doubt welcome news to her parents, Sami said, 'I’ve never, ever, ever done a sex tape… I just keep it very classy while still giving people their money’s worth, if that makes sense.'</p>
<h2>Lily Allen</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-03-at-13.48.50_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Lily Allen' /><p>It’s been a rollercoaster few years for our <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/lily-allen-shows-david-harbour-what-hes-missing/">Lily Allen</a>, with her now ex-husbands roving eye, her hit album, and a much discussed and admire boob job, the girl’s been busy. And in July 2024 she got even busier launching her foot-based account. It’s claimed that she was inspired to start the site after obtaining a 5-star rating on Wiki feet, after that Lily Allen FTSE500 was born and the rest is history.  Detailing some of the requests she’s received she said, 'They want dirty soles, white socks, like schoolgirl socks or ankle socks, some clean, some dirty. Stepping in food. Toe spreading, because that’s what happens when you’re climaxing.' For the right price subscribers can choose the colour of nail polish she wears and watch her rub oil on them. 'Some people want white. Some people want dark red. Some people want bright red,' she said. But where she draws the line is when people ask her to fart on her toes, something along with painting her toenails green or blue she refuses to do. But for £8 a month you can be part of ‘La Dolce Feeta’ gang and honestly there’s probably worse things you can buy for change from a tenner.</p>
<h2>Iggy Azalea</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/iggy-1.png?q=80' alt='Iggy Azalea' /><p>One of the undisputed kweens of sexiness, Iggy reportedly makes an eye-watering $48million a year from her sexy content. Yet some of that cash is amassed from the weirdest of requests and that is to berate her subscribers.  She said, 'They'll send me like six hundred dollars just to send a voice note like, "I'd never suck your disgusting little f**ing d**k! Is that even a d**k? I wouldn't even let my dog lick that d**k."' Expanding on the bizarre she detailed some of her messages, 'They'll be like, "Goddess Iggy. Please, please, please, please. I know that you don't have time for my tiny little thing, but please can you just tell me what you think about it?"' She continued, 'And then I'll be like, "Ugh! That's disgusting! Is that even a f**ing dk? You call that a f**ing d**k? That's not a d**k. Why are you wasting me time with this? Send me fifty dollars right now and don't you f**ing message me again unless you give me fifty dollars next time."'</p>
<h2>Bonnie Blue</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Bonnie-Blue-Instagram-Bonnie-Blue-Says-Shes-Really-Innocent-Calls-1000-Men-Sex-Stunt-a-Good-Work-Ethic_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Bonnie Blue' /><p>Sadly, for her subscribers <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/bonnie-blue-married-again/">Bonnie Blue</a> is now officially permanently banned from their favourite platform and no longer uploads content after breaching the sites rules. However, while she was still busy sharing ability to sleep with 1057 men in one day she also divulged some of the crazier requests she had received. 'Some of the weirdest requests I get… they're clearly doing very well. They've got good jobs. They’re coming from wealth. Serious professionals,' she said. 'The more money you've got, the weirder you can be.' Which is perhaps why one of them asked for Bonnie to engage in an activity that involved a freezer, a prophylactic, and a bodily function. A man once asked her to poop into a condom, freeze it, and then use it as a dildo. The woman who was seemingly up for anything did not decide to make a poo pop but she said, 'I’ll do things that don’t turn me on if it’s fun for subscribers,' she said. 'But I’m not going into the corner of the room with a jar to force out a fart.'</p>
<h2>Amouranth</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/amouranth-1.png?q=80' alt='Amouranth' /><p>Kaitlyn Michelle Siragusa, known online as Amouranth, reportedly earns $1.5million a month for her ASMR content. Her subscribers have asked for a host of... let’s just say unusual requests over the years. While she has stated that ‘crazy’ is a term that is up to interpretation, some of the stranger requests have been for ball crushing videos. One subscriber asked for her to 'mutilate' their gonads with her stilettos. She added, 'Another one wanted me to inflate myself like a balloon, or pretend to. I wasn’t sure how to do that one. That’s a weird fetish for sure.' One individual wanted her to pretend to be a giant and swallow them whole. She explained that she was unsure how it would work, 'I guess you would need a camera I could put in my mouth!'</p>
<h2>Ally Mae</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-03-at-14.00.41_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Ally Mae' /><p>The former Morrisons worker is raking in a little more than the £8 an hour she was bringing home prior to joining the sexy online site. And it seems that she has swapped requests for locating pickled onions on aisle 7. Ally reveals that she had been inundated with subscriber asking for her to stand on things. Yes, you read that right, among all the marriage proposals she is regularly asked to stand on scrunched up paper. She said, 'People like me standing on things, especially in heels. It can be anything - stand on paper, stand on stick figures, maybe even small items like toys.' Adding, 'I don't know what that's about, they think it's the same as being stood on, I think. I think that's what they want, [for] me to stand on them.' All this standing around has gone some way to her amassing monthly earnings of £25k a month.</p>
<h2>Lauren Alexis</h2>

While the exact amount she has made is not known, what we do know is that her subscribers have some novel ways to getting their kicks. Lauren has revealed that one of her fans asked her to go to the beach, wear Crocs, remove one, tie a rock to it, and throw it into the sea to make it look like the shoe was 'drowning'. No judgement here but it seems like a pretty extreme way to ensure the demise of the Croc.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Who knew that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/celebrity-ex-on-the-beach-2026/">Celebrity Ex on the Beach</a> would be so wild? It's giving Married At First Sight a run for its money.</p>
<p>A whole bunch of famous faces (we say famous faces, it's a lot of reality TV stars hanging with the likes of John Grimes of Jedward fame and soap star Helen Flanagan), are spending some time on holiday where their exes can rock up any moment.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/ex-on-the-beach-filming-secrets.jpg?q=80' alt='Celebrity Ex on the Beach cast' /><p>One person who can't seem to resist a dating show and is currently taking part in Celebrity Ex on the Beach is <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-curtis-pritchard/">Curtis Pritchard</a>. The <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> veteran is set to come face to face with his ex Sophie Sheridan on tonight's episode (Tuesday 21 April) and the theatre gal has some CHOICE words for Curtis.</p>
<p>But just as the clips of their not exactly friendly reunion surface online, Curtis is too busy posting boxing vids to have anything to say on the matter.</p>
<p>Curtis is joined by Helen and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/toby-aromolaran/">Toby Aromolaran</a> when Sophie comes out of the ocean all auburn locks and gold jewellery and reveals that she was 'betrayed' by her ex.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/CEOTB-Curtis-x-Sophie.jpg?q=80' alt='Curtis and Sophie' /><p>'He treated me like absolute s**t, he’s lied to me, he used me, I think he did betray me,' the dancer revealed..</p>
<p>'People don’t actually know the real him. I’m not here on the beach today to get him back, I couldn’t think of anything worse.'</p>
<p>When the duo sit down to chat, with Toby and Helen awkwardly looking on, Sophie doesn't hold back from hurling her honest thoughts at a blubbering Curtis who denies claims he cheated on her.</p>
<p>'OK, well, it’s a shame that you’re a compulsive liar,' she retorted, 'It’s a shame that I do not believe anything you say.'</p>
<p>This isn't the first time Sophie has spoken about her relationship with Curtis, when he took part in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-games-2025/">Love Island Games</a> and<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2025/">All Stars</a> last year, his ex claimed that they were still very much together.</p>
<p>'When he was on Love Island Games it was so difficult but he convinced me to pretend we weren’t together any more because he needed the money for our future,' she told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/33132871/love-island-sophie-sheridan-curtis-pritchard/">The Sun</a>.</p>
<p>'He always told me it was for the best that we kept our relationship private because I wasn’t in the public eye and he didn’t want anything affecting our relationship.'</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/curtis-and-sophie-1.jpg?q=80' alt='Curtis and Sophie' /><p>Ahead of the episode and just as the teaser drops for the showdown between Curtis and Sophie, the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2026/">Love Island All Star</a> has posted videos on social media of himself practicing his fighting skills with the caption, 'Hakuna Maf**it' and we have MANY questions.</p>
<p>Firstly, can someone please confirm whether or not this is an explicit twist on the iconic Lion King song 'Hakuna Matata'? We are struggling with the juxtaposition of a children's cartoon and Curtis practicing his boxing, looking all kinds of bruised and battered as he is called a 'compulsive liar' on the controversial dating show.</p>
<p>Secondly, slightly off topic but has anyone else heard anything else about when he will be fighting <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/mitchel-taylor/">'messy' Mitch Taylor?</a> Wasn't that supposed to be happening soon.</p>
<p>Thirdly, the time of such a video is questionable and we can't help but wonder; was this an intentional move from Curtis?</p>
<p>'For Curtis, going on All Stars is motivated by money and boosting his career, he wants to be a millionaire by the time he’s 30 and is obsessed with fame,' Sophie claimed last year.</p>
<p>Well, Curtis turned 30 in February of this year so who knows if he got his wish?</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>They were one of our favourite <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> couples of all time, so we were shocked at the end of last year when <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/indiyah-polack-love-island/">Indiyah Polack</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/dami-hope-love-island/">Dami Hope</a> split after weeks of rumours about their relationship status.</p>
<p>Just a few weeks later, Indiyah was spotted kissing her Inside co-star Marlon Lundgren Garcia in a TikTok video which quickly went viral. At the time, she released a statement in which <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/indiyah-polack-dami-hope-cheating/">she admitted she had ‘made a mistake’</a> and although Dami wasn’t mentioned by name, Indiyah ‘took full responsibility’ for ‘the hurt this has caused’.</p>
<p>While Indiyah spoke out on social media, Dami has – until now – remained silent on her kiss with Marlon and the circumstances behind their break-up. That all changed earlier today (Tuesday 21 April), however, as the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2022/">Love Island 2022</a> star has just broken his silence about their split.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/dami-hope-indiyah-polack.jpg?q=80' alt='Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack' /><p>Dami appeared on the latest episode of Paul C. Brunson’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY0LelvctsE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">We Need to Talk podcast</a>, where he spoke out about the ‘embarrassment’ that he felt after the video of Indiyah kissing Marlon surfaced online.</p>
<p>‘From that point it was just like, yeah, no, this is so embarrassing. And then it's just disrespectful because it's like… I just feel like it just wasn't worth whatever we had to do that,’ Dami told Paul.</p>
<p>‘And the whole embarrassment of it publicly and people making mockery of it and joking about the both of us and we're having to go through this whole turmoil of what was such a beautiful relationship and to now this is how it ends. It's a bit sad.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/dami-hope-we-need-to-talk.jpg?q=80' alt='Paul C Brunson and Dami Hope on the We Need to Talk podcast' /><p>Dami revealed he found out about Indiyah’s kiss with Marlon two days after it happened. He explained, ‘It was just because of the chain of events of things didn’t make sense, and I’m too clued in to not figure stuff out, especially because I’ve been with [Indiyah] for so long.</p>
<p>‘And I think eventually she obviously came forward and said this had been what happened. And for me, I had to process it. And I'm processing it privately, like no one knows this is happening. So, it was the thing for me, it was just like a situation of stories just wasn't adding up. And just to keep it short, it just wasn't adding up. And then eventually she came forward to tell me. And then we just had to like obviously, I said, I can't be in this relationship.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/indiyah-polack.jpg?q=80' alt='Indiyah Polack' /><p>Despite how their relationship ended, Dami insisted he has ‘no sense of hate’ for Indiyah.</p>
<p>‘I genuinely still have a care for her, and I've loved her, I’ve been with her for so long and there's a level of care that I'll always have,’ he added.</p>
<p>‘At the end of the day, I'm not trying to bash her or I don't want anything to happen to who she is or whatever it is, I want her to still be good.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>After first joining <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> back in 2015, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dan-edgar-towie/">Dan Edgar</a> is no stranger to the drama. Speaking on facing ex <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">Vietnam</a>, Dan tells us, ‘The stuff with Ella is a lot more recent, so naturally, it’s not ideal being away with your ex. It came to light that she was still quite upset about a lot of stuff. It’s not nice, I don’t like seeing anyone upset. It was a tough situation to be in.</p>
<p>‘I’m with someone else now and to be out there and see someone else upset and still trying to manage a friendship. It was all new ground to try and navigate. It’s obviously never easy, but we’ve been trying to manage it the best we can.’</p>
<p>Following his split from Ella, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dan-edgar-chloe-lewis-relationship-serious/">Closer exclusively revealed that he had moved</a> on with former <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/chloe-lewis/">Chloe Lewis</a> just three months later after reconnecting at <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/georgia-kousoulou/">Georgia Kousolou</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/tommy-mallet-towie/">Tommy Mallet</a>’s second wedding in Majorca.</p>

She’s done the show before and she’s understanding of how it all works.’ However, he adds that there’s ‘no sign’ of her making a return, saying, ‘I’m happy with how it is at the moment and it being separate. I’m in a good place with it all. Things are going well at the moment.’</p>
<p>Dan – who also previously dated co-star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/amber-turner-towie/">Amber Turner</a> – admits that while the scenery may be different, the Essex drama still remains.</p>

<p>There was a lot of us around the hotel bars, so I think that actually caused a lot more drama probably than normal. People were talking to people they probably wouldn’t normally talk to about stuff, and then things start spreading through the group.’</p>

James obviously had [his girlfriend] <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/jodie-wells/">Jodie [Wells</a>] out there, and they sort of had their own little clique with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe [Blackman</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid [Ahmed</a>], which is very new.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>However jaw-droppingly offensive and tone-deaf <a href="https://heatworld.com/celebrity/news/kate-middleton-prince-william-response-andrew-smuggled-sarah-ferguson-royal-estate/">Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor</a>’s Newsnight interview about his relationship with <a href="https://heatworld.com/celebrity/news/andrew-terrified-end-up-like-jeffrey-epstein/">Jeffrey Epstein</a> was back in 2019, no-one could have predicted how far the former prince would fall.</p>
<p>But the Epstein Files proved that he had been economical with the truth about how long he’d been in touch with paedophile Epstein after his conviction for sex offences, and more potentially compromising pictures of him were released. Then survivor Victoria Giuffre’s posthumous book accused him of sexually abusing her on three occasions. And while Andrew has always denied all allegations, King Charles took drastic action. Last autumn, Andrew was stripped off his royal title, honours and military status. He was also kicked out of Royal Lodge, his impressive mansion in Windsor, in exchange for modest Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, where he’s allowed to stay temporarily.</p>
<p>He was arrested by Thames Valley Police in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations he shared confidential material with Epstein while the UK's trade envoy. Andrew has not been charged with any crime and has always denied any wrongdoing.</p>
<p>Prince Edward, along with Sophie, is said to be the only close member of family who has visited Andrew at Sandringham. It was reported in the Daily Mail last week that the couple were deeply concerned about Andrew’s ‘fragile state of mind’. According to the report, Edward saw it as a ‘brotherly welfare check’, and the trio had dinner together, talking about his situation.</p>
<p>Edward has stayed quiet until now over his brother Andrew’s shocking downfall, but he’s now inserted himself firmly into the fray – backed by his sister Princess Anne – and it’s causing tension with King Charles.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Palace-bust-up-The-royals-fighting-King-Charles-over-%E2%80%98harsh-treatment-of-Andrew.1.jpg?q=80' alt='Prince Andrew and Prince Edward attend the Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church' /><p>An insider told us, 'Edward and Anne both feel things have gone too far. They’re very worried about Andrew’s state of mind and say he’s been pushed to the brink. It’s not about excusing what he’s done, they respect that the legal side must move forward, but they think the way it’s being handled within the family has been too harsh and could end up backfiring if he becomes even more unstable. From their point of view, he’s still family, and there must be some duty of care there.'</p>
<p>But their older brother feels differently: 'He’s much more resolute, some might say cold. It’s because he’s been trained from birth to protect the institution at all costs. He says he’s doing his duty, as uncomfortable as it might be, and he plans to stay the course regardless of what Anne or Edward have to say. Of course, now he’s angry with them because he doesn’t take kindly to being questioned or undermined. The atmosphere behind closed doors has turned very tense.'</p>
<p>Charles, 77, is the oldest child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. Anne is next in sibling order at 75, then Andrew, who is 66, with Edward, 62, the youngest. So, there is a big age gap between Charles and his brothers.</p>
<p>The insider says, 'Ironically, this same dynamic has gone on for a lot of their lives. Growing up, it was always Andrew and Edward that were close, with Anne playing the protective older sister and Charles mostly ignoring them. Charles and Anne are close in age, so they’ve always had a close bond. But he's so much older than Andrew and Edward, he never got close to them, and there's no doubt that's a factor in the way he has been able to deal with the situation. Truth be told, some people feel that Charles almost sees Andrew as another problem to be managed.'</p>
<p>Andrew’s other brother and sister feel some compassion is in order, even though they are deeply unimpressed with his actions and share Charles’ anger: 'Anne and Edward aren't blind to what he’s done, but they still have a lot of fondness for him, and they say they can’t ignore that he’s become dangerously isolated. They both insist that he's showing seriously concerning signs, mental health wise. They both say they’d never be able to forgive themselves if he does something rash. Regardless of his mistakes, they both feel a responsibility towards him as their brother, and if looking out for him means going up against Charles, then so be it.'</p>
<p>The problem is that Charles’ wife, son William and daughter-in-law Kate – as well as most courtiers and royal staff – agree with the king on this. So, Edward and Anne really are the outliers.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Palace-bust-up-The-royals-fighting-King-Charles-over-%E2%80%98harsh-treatment-of-Andrew.jpg?q=80' alt='Princess Anne, Prince Charles, and Prince Andrew attend the funeral of Patricia Knatchbull, Countess Mountbatten of Burma at St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge' /><p>'Charles believes his siblings are  letting emotion cloud their judgment and that this is exactly the moment to stay firm, not waver. It’s not likely that he will back down at this stage. If anything, the more Anne and Edwards push him, the more the more he will dig in his heels. It’s becoming a test of authority, and Charles is not someone that usually bends once he’s made up his mind. Besides, be believes he has done absolutely the right thing.'</p>
<p>As well as the king’s family and close circle agreeing with him, there is the small matter of his subjects to consider too. The collective agreement strongly indicates that the general public believe Charles acted proportionately, and any sympathy for Andrew is in short supply. A YouGov poll found that of 4,739 people surveyed, 79 per cent of them answered 'the right decision' to the question: 'Do you think the King has made the right or wrong decision to strip Andrew Mountbatten Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) of his prince title?'</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that <a href="https://heatworld.com/celebrity/news/prince-william-kate-middleton-preparations-king-charles-abdication/">King Charles</a> will not meet any of Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors when he and Queen Camilla visit America to celebrate the nation’s 250th anniversary. Campaigners and family of victims of Epstein had appealed for him do so, given his brother’s links to the late billionaire.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> is back on our screens this week, and this time the Essex crew are swapping Brentwood for sun-soaked Vietnam. Among the returning faces is <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a>, who has opened up about her tense reunion with ex <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dan-edgar-towie/">Dan Edgar</a>.</p>
<p>‘We both realised we couldn’t just be friends,’ Ella tells Closer. ‘We just have this really intense connection. When we broke up, we never really spoke about it. We never really closed that book. And we never really faced our emotions and feelings.</p>
<p>‘We’re like the same person. So, when we see each other, all these feelings come back up and reignite. It’s hard, but that’s why I haven’t moved on with anyone, because I know I’m not really there.’</p>

<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/ella-rae-wise-grieving-dan-edgar-romance/">Ella, 25, began dating Dan</a> in early 2024 during the ITV show’s filming in Bali. But their rocky romance ended last April, when she dumped him just days before entering the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/celebrity-big-brother-romances/">Celebrity Big Brother</a> house.</p>
<p>While she hasn’t gone public with a new romance since their split, she recently set tongues wagging after being <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/ciaran-davies-speaks-out-ella-rae-wise-romance-rumours/">spotted cosying up to Love Island All Stars winner Ciaran Davies</a> at a showbiz bash. As she tries to move on, Ella admits she’s rethinking what she wants.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/ella-freddie-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='She was once close pals with co-star Freddie Bentley' /><p>‘When I do meet someone, I would like them probably not to be in the TOWIE world,’ she says. ‘It is a bit of privacy, and it is a nice way to have a separate life and be a bit normal.’</p>
<p>As well as romance drama, Ella has also had her fair share of friendship fallouts on the show. She was once best friends with co-star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a>, but the pair locked horns last season and have since unfollowed each other on Instagram.</p>
<p>‘I will always appreciate the friendship I had with Freddie,’ Ella says. ‘We were in each other’s pockets every day for four years. So, I couldn’t have been that much of a bad friend if you were my mate for so long! In Vietnam, we got to a place where we quashed whatever went on at Christmas.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/closer-1207.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>Ella has also previously had a run-in with Dan’s ex, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/amber-turner-towie/">Amber Turner</a>, and her ‘girl band’ friendship group <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/chloe-meadows-towie/">Chloe Meadows</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/courtney-green-towie/">Courtney Green</a>.</p>
<p>‘I tried with girl band, but no, not for me – not my people,’ Ella says. ‘I feel like they’re alright when they’re on their own, but then together they’re quite spiteful. I don’t feel like I need anyone on my side.’</p>

<p>As someone who literally writes about shopping for a living, it's fair to say I spend the majority of my week looking at clothes, and what trends we need to be writing about when each new season arrives. Also, seeing as the sun is finally playing ball in the UK right now (hello, early spring), many of us are already seeking easy-breezy, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-linen-trousers/">lightweight pieces</a> that make you feel put together, even in the heat.</p>
<p>Focusing on styles that most of us seek through all weathers, I've also picked out pieces below that will work with your existing wardrobe, including knits, tops and skirts, which I know are like marmite, but are super on-trend right now. I've selected pieces that will work for your holiday as well as at home, and even a select few dresses that could be the perfect <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-wedding-guest-dresses/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wedding guest outfit</a>.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Despite constantly being told we should be looking to maximise our assets, sometimes what we're looking for is the best minimiser bra. Although they can be hard to find, the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-bras/">best bras</a> that minimise your bust <em>are</em> out there. To make things a little bit easier, we've searched high and low for the best minimiser bra in the UK from trusted brands like Marks &#x26; Spencer, Triumph, and more.</p>
<p>In fact, we've even enlisted the advice of experts from the brands mentioned above (Marks &#x26; Spencer and Triumph) about what exactly a minimiser is, how they work and whether they're safe to wear. But how exactly does a minimiser bra work? We explore this in our guide to the best minimiser bras in the UK.</p>
<h2>Closer's pick of the best minimiser bras, at a glance:</h2>
<p><strong>Closer's favourite:</strong> <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Delimira-Minimizer-Underwire-Seamless-Coverage/dp/B087FXP998https://www.amazon.co.uk/Delimira-Minimizer-Underwire-Seamless-Coverage/dp/B087FG3WF6?tag=qcloserarticle1115-21" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Delimira Minimiser Bra, £23.99, was £26.99, from Amazon</a><br>
<strong>Best on a budget:</strong> <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DKMWZ756?tag=qcloserarticle1115-21" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Ayigedu Plus Size Minimiser Bra, £18.98 from Amazon</a><br>
<strong>Best smoothing minimiser bra:</strong> <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/flexifit-full-cup-minimiser-bra-c-g/p/clp60437844?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Flexifit Wired Minimiser Bra, £22 from M&#x26;S</a></p>
<p>Having quite literally the opposite effect of a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-push-up-bras/">push-up bra</a>, a minimiser bra reduces the size of your bust. They're typically designed to make you look a cup size smaller. Not only that, but they also smooth over the appearance of your bust, keeping everything securely in place and preventing any spillage. Believe us, they're a smart option under clothes with buttons like blouses and shirt dresses, especially if you're fed up with any annoying gaping going on!</p>
<p>While you might be imagining we've selected an edit of totally unflattering frumpy bras, wearing a minimiser doesn't mean you should have to compromise on style. That's why we've chosen some <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/cute-bras/">cute bras</a> with various colours, designs and sizes, so you can look and feel your best from the moment you get dressed.</p>
<h2>How we tested the best minimiser bras:</h2>
<p>Here at Closer, our writers put the best minimiser bras to the test, evaluating the bras against various standards such as fit accuracy, design, support, comfort and level of minimising. Overall, we managed to try and test five minimiser bras, but where we couldn't test we chose highly-rated minimiser bras from trusted retailers.</p>
<p>Senior Commercial Content Writer <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/author/samantha-price/">Samantha Price</a> tested the <a href="https://uk.triumph.com/bras/underwired/harmony-spotlight/10215944.html?color=0004_Black" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Triumph Harmony Spotlight Minimiser Bra</a> and had this to say about the testing process. "I was measured as a 34D across Boux Avenue, Marks &#x26; Spencer and John Lewis a few years ago. However, have since measured my bra size at home a few months ago, and the bra fitting I had been given was still accurate. I tested the bra for around a month, concluding that the bra was an accurate fit for me, it minimised my bust by a cup size and had a breathable, mesh material with thick, supportive straps, which is exactly why it made the list."</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2023/10/best-minimiser-bras-17.jpg?q=80' alt='best-minimiser-bras' /><p>Meanwhile, Commercial Content Editor, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/author/eleanor-weaver/">Eleanor Weaver</a>, tested a bunch across Amazon, Triumph, Bravissimo and M&#x26;S. "I'm a 38FF, having recently been fitted (virtually!) by Bravissimo - I would 100% recommend. Having big boobs affects how I feel in certain outfits and I've found opting for a minimising bra instead to be an absolute godsend for my confidence. So, I was on the look out for a bra that effectively minimised and was comfortable without an underwire digging in under the arms. I tested these bras over the course of several months and while I feel like I've found my hero bras (listed below), I'll be adding any others I find that tick all the right boxes."</p>

The Delimira Minimiser Bra is your girl. A simple design with full-coverage cups that consist of compression lining for smoothing out your bust, it can minimise your cup size up to two inches. Not only does it come in a ton of colours, but it also has thick padded straps and high-cut sides for support, making it the perfect option for everyday. In fact, a customer said you hardly know that you're wearing it.  

Commercial Content Editor, :aEleanor Weaver{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/eleanor-weaver/' }, says: "I only bought this bra recently, but it's now my absolute favourite. It's affordable, soft and smoothing, comfortable with wide straps and elastic sides, and actually minimising. It comes in a bunch of colours (I now have a few extra in my basket) and I've found the wired cups to be supportive without digging in. It does say it's hand-wash only, but after putting it through my washing machine a few times on a low heat, it's survived to tell the tale."

Made from breathable, flexible fabric, despite being a minimiser, this bra will never feel restrictive due to its four-way stretch. Its adjustable straps mean it can be converted to a racerback bra for added support, and non-padded cups give a natural, smooth shape, something we'd see from higher-end brands such as :aSKIMS{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/skims-kim-kardashian-dupes/' } for a more affordable price. Reviews say the bra is extremely comfortable and super soft.

One customer even went as far as to say they're now a Triumph convert, having usually shopped at M&S for their bras. Adapting to your body for a flexible fit, this bra is made with LYCRA fabric for comfortable freedom of movement. It has thicker, wider and adjustable straps that offer ample support, and it provides a flattering shape while minimising up to one cup size.  

Commercial Content Editor, :aEleanor Weaver{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/eleanor-weaver/' }, says: "Out of ALL the bras I've tried, I would consider this bra to be the most minimising. Triumph claims it can minimise your bust by up to one size and I have to agree - if not more. The bra provides full coverage with thick comfy straps and I found it to be extremely supportive - I felt lifted and minimised at the same time. Plus there are a range of colours to choose from. My only bugbear is the sizing - it starts at 32 and doesn’t go beyond a 42 band."

It has a high-coverage, balconette style with underwire that provides fantastic support and stretch lace at the top of the cup that moulds to your boob's shape. Plus, this bra has side sling support that helps keep your boobs forward-facing, often a fallback of minimising bras. This bra gives you a natural, unpadded shape that simply disappears under tops with five colours available to choose from.  

Commercial Content Editor, :aEleanor Weaver{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/eleanor-weaver/' }, says: "My favourite style of bra is balconette, and after being fitted by the Bravissimo team, I found this bra to be extremely comfortable and minimising. That's right, it might not be a minimiser bra, but this has proven to me that a properly-fitting bra can be minimising in itself. This bra not only makes me feel well supported AND sexy - not something I can say for all minimiser bras - but it's also one I don't feel the need to rip off at the end of the day. My favourite feature of all is the side supports. I'm so used to underwires digging in, but this was one bra I could put on and forget about - dreamy."

Both highly affordable and super affordable, this M&S bra is made from Supima cotton and features a clever Cool Comfort finish that ensures you're kept cool and comfortable all day long. One reviewer even dubbed it as 'the best bra' that they've found. And our own Closer editor can vouch for it, too.  

Commercial Content Editor, :aEleanor Weaver{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/eleanor-weaver/' }, says: "To say I own a few of these is an understatement. Not only are they a fantastic price, but they're comfortable with a wide back and well-fitting. That being said, as a larger lady, I did find the wire dug in a bit at my side after a few wears but after a wash, it was more comfy again. It definitely provides the support I need while minimising - I just wish it came in more colours."

<p>The TikTok featured a mini intro from Toni where she told her followers, 'Y'all know I love to stand on business so it's time for a very serious fit check and announcement.'</p>
<p>The bombshell then proceeded to pose for a solid twenty seconds as the theme tune from The Apprentice played on in the background.</p>
<p>Obviously fans are obsessed with this new role for Toni and we cannot wait to have her back on our screens.</p>
<p>'It’s not clocking to you????????????,' somebody wrote, quoting the viral Justin Bieber clip, to which Toni replied, 'THAT IM STANDING ON BUSINESS?'</p>
<p>Toni's iconic mum also added her love to the video, 'My little boss babe! I’m so freakin excited for you! And what a worthy cause!'</p>

<p>Not only is there apparently trouble ahead for <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/jodie-wells/">Jodie Wells</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-diags/">Diags</a>, but <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> and her ex <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dan-edgar-towie/">Dan Edgar</a> are set to come face-to-face for the first time since he started dating <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/chloe-lewis/">Chloe Lewis</a>, and it looks like there’s an almighty row between <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy Jay</a> in Vietnam before <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley-vietnam-filming/">he left the trip early</a>.</p>
<p>Ahead of the series premiere, Livvy has been dishing the dirt on her feud with Freddie and it sounds like a lot of his pals are in her bad books too.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/12/TOWIE-LIvvy-holiday.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE's Livvy' /><p>Speaking about the trip to Vietnam in a video shared on the official TOWIE social media accounts, Livvy explained, ‘To be completely honest with you, I’ve not been having the best of times. Thank God I’ve got a few of my friends here with me.</p>
<p>‘I feel like it’s no secret, me and Freddie have always clashed. Well, we’ve gone from friends to clashing, and I don’t really know if there’s any coming back from that. It’s a pack of hyenas against the lioness at the moment.’</p>
<p>Livvy revealed she was being supported by her friends <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry Derbidge</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/elma-pazar/">Elma Pazar</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/courtney-green-towie/">Courtney Green</a>, but there was a ‘huge divide’ between them and the rest of the cast.</p>
<p>‘Me and my lot are definitely outnumbered,’ she continued.</p>
<p>‘All the hyenas have come together, the weak against the strong. So we’ve got Freddie, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani [Imbert]</a> and Ella’s now jumped on the bandwagon.</p>
<p>‘<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid [Ahmed]</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe [Blackman]</a> have somehow got their way back in, don’t ask me how, and yeah, it’s absolutely wild.’</p>
<p>In a separate video, Dani admitted she had clashed with Livvy while defending Freddie.</p>

<p>She said, ‘So, night one, usually I’m the peacemaker, right? And when people argue, I try and get people to come together. I’m like, “come on, is it that deep?” Whereas I feel like this time it was that deep, so I felt the need to get myself involved and back Freddie and I did end up in an argument with Livvy.</p>
<p>‘If you can’t handle the heat, you should probably keep your mouth shut. The comments from Livvy that were coming towards Livvy, for me, is like so below the belt. I’m all for taking it lower when someone goes low, but she quite literally took it to hell and I just feel like it was unacceptable.’</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/kim-kardashian-beach-bum.jpg?q=80' alt='kim kardashian beach bum' /><p>Possibly the most famous butt in the world (well, it did break the internet) <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-rants/">Kim Kardashian</a>’s booty is a work of art, so no wonder she likes to give it an airing beachside. And who can forget that this internationally acclaimed butt was the centre of one of reality TV’s most iconic moments as she wedged it into an X-ray machine to end speculation that those fulsome proportions were down to implants. After proper scientific analysis it turned out the only ingredient in those golden glutes was pure bootyliciousness. Woof.</p>
<h2>Jessica Alba</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/Sexy-celebs-show-off-their-beach-bums.png?q=80' alt='Jessica Alba' /><p>Fantastic Four star Jessica Alba also has a Fantastic Two – judging by this recent pic of her charming cheeks enjoying some time out in the sunshine. Who can blame her for wanting to show off as she certainly puts in the work to keep those curves a’curvin’, specifically ‘jump lunges and squat jumps’ to give her the kind of rear that can steam windows. Apparently she credits genetics for her blessed butt, as she once said, ‘Bubble butts, like my Dad and I have, run in my family’. Hmm, sounds like we also need to find some pics of Mr Alba to swoon over.</p>
<h2>Sydney Sweeney</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/Sexy-celebs-show-off-their-beach-bums.1.png?q=80' alt='Sydney Sweeney' /><p>Her grandparents famously told her she has ‘the best tits in Hollywood’. Apparently gramps and grandma forgot to tell her that she also has - without a doubt - one of the best tushies in Tinseltown. Posting this image, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/sydney-sweeney-frozen-out-industry/">Sydney Sweeney</a> shyly admitted, ‘I think they call this a thirst trap’. Guilty as charged - WE’RE THIRSTY! Of course, it’s not just God-given – she’s worked hard for this shape. Working out for her latest movie Christy (a biopic about female boxing legend Christy Martin) Sydney says her glute gains were incredible. ‘I had about three and a half months of training. I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour. My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god. But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong.’ Those cheeks sure look like they could crush a man. And he’d LOVE it.</p>
<h2>Hailey Bieber</h2>
<p>Supermodel Hailey Bieber’s flawless physique has made her a pin-up for hot-blooded men for years. But naturally when you look THAT good, the haters are gonna hate, with trolls claiming that her dynamic derriere is down to a Brazilian Butt Lift. Hailey has firmly denied that rumour, and has dropped videos on her Insta of how she hones those gorgeous glutes. Looking good, girrrrl.</p>
<h2>Irina Shayk</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/irina-shayk.jpg?q=80' alt='irina shayk' /><p>Russian supermodel Irina Shayk has her very own superpower – with her weapon of mass distraction being her incredible rear. That sweet peach has attracted the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bradley Cooper, with Tom Brady now said to be under its spell. Irina Shayk has credited ballet moves for her sensational physique, using barre exercise to really work ‘my arms and my bum’. Shayk that booty.</p>
<h2>Kendall Jenner</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/Sexy-celebs-show-off-their-beach-bums.4.png?q=80' alt='Kendall Jenner' /><p>Much like her big sis Kim, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/kendall-jenner-helps-maura-higgins-find-man/">Kendall Jenner</a> has been genetically blessed with the family trademark of a fabulously curvaceous rear – although unlike her famous 5ft2 sister, Kendall is 5ft10 – so those buttocks really grab attention when released into the wild! And like her big sis, she’s also faced speculation that she’s had help to get her voluptuous behind, though she’s credited her exercise routine, including ‘donkey kicks’. Well, we’re certainly getting a kick out of seeing her booty.</p>
<h2>Rita Ora</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/Sexy-celebs-show-off-their-beach-bums.5.png?q=80' alt='Rita Ora' /><p>Sometimes you just have to question the sanity of our celebrity icons. Take, for example, Rita Ora, who has the kind of backside that we’d quite happily lop both arms off to emulate. But Rita isn’t keen. Speaking about her tushy, she once said, ‘Every woman has an insecurity and I absolutely hate it [my bum]’ Well if you don’t want it, we’ll happily give your booty a home, Rita. To keep it in peak health, the singer swears by circuit training, saying, ‘I do three circuits and repeat that three times. I mostly focus on my thighs and my bum, so I do a lot of squats and weight-lifting. And I do one circuit of cardio.’ To quote her hit – that bum is looking Hot Right Now.</p>
<h2>Jennifer Lopez</h2>
<p>For years, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/jennifer-lopez-humiliation-major-snub-ex/">Jennifer Lopez</a> had to deny a persistent rumour that she’d insured her bountiful butt for $1m. To be honest, we always knew it couldn’t possibly be true as that’s a billion-dollar booty if ever we saw one. It’s hard to believe now but at the start of her career, J Lo felt her curvaceousness held her back – as the fashion was for slimline models. Now her rump is very much where it always belonged, at the very pinnacle of the world’s greatest butts. We salute it.</p>
<h2>Sofia Vergara</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/Sexy-celebs-show-off-their-beach-bums.7.png?q=80' alt='Sofia Vergara' /><p>In these enlightened times it’s great to hear powerful women give voice to their inner confidence. And they don’t come much more confident than <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/jennifer-aniston-sofia-vergara-reese-witherspoon/">Sofia Vergara</a>, who is the owner of a butt that would give anyone a self-belief boost. Speaking about her other famous assets, the Modern Family star said, ‘I've always been known for my boobs, but it pisses me off, because I do also have a great ass!’ Great? It’s absolutely incredible, Sofia.</p>
<h2>Gabrielle Union</h2>
<p>She may be 53 (we’re not saying that’s old, we’re just sayin’) yet that iconic butt is screaming 20-something. Gabrielle is not afraid to show off her perfect 10 ass, either, giving her 21 million followers something to aspire to when it comes to bootyliciousness. You might remember her as the star of 1999 movie She’s All That. And when it comes to rocking a pair of bikini bottoms – she’s STILL all that.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It feels like we’ve waited forever for some serious tea about <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">series 37</a> of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a>, and now that the first episode is just days away, we’re finally starting to get an idea of what all the drama is going to be about.</p>
<p>We already know that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">Freddie Bentley quit filming in Vietnam</a> early before eventually <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley-quits-series-37/">stepping away from the series</a> for now and it sounds like he’s going to be right at the centre of the storylines.</p>
<p>Of course, Freddie’s not the only cast member who’s going to be involved in the agg as his nemesis <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry Derbidge</a> has revealed that one of their co-stars is ‘acting out of character’ this series.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/09/TOWIE-Harry-2025.jpg?q=80' alt='Harry Derbidge' /><p>A recently released teaser trailer showed Freddie arguing with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy Jay</a> on a coach and their fellow cast members get involved too as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a> stepped into defend Freddie and now it seems like Harry, who’s had plenty of issues with Freddie in recent series, might be getting dragged into the row too.</p>
<p>In a new video posted to the official TOWIE Instagram account, Harry appeared alongside his cousin <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/wills-childs/">Wills Childs</a> as they chatted about what the cast had been up to in Vietnam, where he claimed that Dani has been ‘snappy’ on the trip.</p>
<p>He explained, ‘I haven’t personally had like a disagreement with Dani, but I have seen Dani out here and she’s acting, I think, very out of character.’</p>
<p>Harry continued, ‘We was on the coach the other day and I was saying, like, “Dani’s obviously Freddie’s friend, so she’s obviously going to protect him,” but because she heard me say “Dani”, I’m going to reenact it for you.</p>
<p>‘She’s gone, her neck snapped so fast like that. It was like bang, like that. She nearly gave herself whiplash, the girl. She’s just so snappy out here, I’ve never seen Dani like it.’</p>
<p>Harry also revealed that Freddie was seemingly back on good terms with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> in Vietnam, which had also affected his friendship with her.</p>

But, to be honest with you, I've spoke to her I think all of twice out here.</p>
<p>'I have tried to make her feel included, obviously she has got back friendly with Freddie. I don't know where that currently stands at the moment, but it kind of seems like to me, "Thanks, I don't need you any more. Thanks for your time.'</p>
<p>Bring on the drama, we say.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>When we say M&#x26;S knitwear is our go-to, we truly mean it. From timeless crew neck jumpers to cosy cardigans, and chic ribbed midis to elevated co-ords, the high-street favourite has every base covered. Layering has never felt so cosy. It’s not just about their own-label heroes either; the retailer also stocks covetable pieces from brands like <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/nobodys-child-sale/">Nobody’s Child</a>, Ro&#x26;Zo and Finery London, which means you get that fashion-forward edge alongside the comfort you expect from <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/what-to-buy-at-marks-and-spencer-new-in/">new M&#x26;S fits</a>. We're obsessed.</p>
<p>Our personal obsession right now? The versatile kind of soft-touch knit. Something that works just as well with tailored trousers for the office as it does with straight-leg jeans and trainers at the weekend. Think flattering fits, elevated textures and those little thoughtful details. Details like fluted sleeves, contrast trims, and luxuriously soft yarns can help make a simple jumper feel special. These aren’t just throw-on-and-hope-for-the-best pieces. They’re perfect (and cosy) additions to an actually stylish wardrobe.</p>
<p>Just like with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-dresses/">their dress edit</a>, M&#x26;S manages to strike that perfect balance between classic and current when it comes to their knits. We know you’ll find neutral staples you’ll wear year after year, alongside trend-led pieces that give your outfit a subtle refresh. Who doesn't love something current? Whether you’re layering up for chilly mornings, hunting for a (cosy) work-appropriate knit, or simply craving something snug that still looks polished, there’s genuinely something for everyone.</p>
<p>From lightweight transitional pieces to chunky warmers, there is so much to explore, and narrowing all the knitwear down can feel like a full-time job. So, we’ve done the hard work for you. We scrolled through hundreds of M&#x26;S knitwear pieces and handpicked the only 14 <em>actually</em> worth adding to your basket. These are the styles that tick all the boxes: flattering, versatile, well-priced and easy to wear on repeat. Some are already bestsellers. Some are brand new gems. And yes, there may even be an <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/marks-and-spencer-sale/">M&#x26;S sale find</a> or two in the mix. We can't resist a bargain.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If you’re a huge <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/">Strictly Come Dancing</a> fan (and we’re assuming you are seeing as you clicked on this story) then you’ve probably been paying close attention to all the rumours about who will be taking over from <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/tess-daly-shock-vernon-kay-quits-joint-career-plans/">Tess Daly</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/claudia-winkleman-tears-new-strain/">Claudia Winkleman</a> as the hosts of the show when it returns later this year.</p>
<p>Everyone from <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/alison-hammond-fears-strictly-curse-wreck-romance/">Alison Hammond</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/alan-carr-strictly-host/">Alan Carr</a> to Bradley Walsh and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/holly-willoughby-horror-phillip-schofield-return/">Holly Willoughby</a> have been linked to perhaps the most sought after jobs in showbiz, and now another huge presenter whose name has been swirling around the rumour mill has seemingly dropped a major hint that they’ve bagged one of the roles.</p>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/zoe-ball-moves-in-new-boyfriend/">Zoe Ball</a> is no stranger to the Strictly family, having hosted sister show It Takes Two between 2011 and 2020, but it looks like she could be about to move up to the main show if her recent comments are anything to go by.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/zoe-ball.jpg?q=80' alt='Zoe Ball' /><p>Zoe teased her potential new role during the latest episode of her podcast Dig It, which she co-presents with fellow radio legend Jo Whiley, as the pair spoken about what they’re up to over the next week or so.</p>
<p>‘Absolutely nothing going on my end. Nothing going on my end at all, she said suspiciously,’ Zoe said, to which Jo replied, ‘I don’t believe you.’</p>
<p>Zoe continued, ‘Hopefully, afterwards I’ll be able to tell you about it all, but obviously at the moment I can’t say anything about it.’</p>
<p>She went on to say that she needed to look ‘glamorous’ for her mystery new job, with Jo cheekily quizzing, ‘Why would you be needing to be glamorous?’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/zoe-ball-ian-waite.jpg?q=80' alt='Zoe Ball and Ian Waite' /><p>‘Oh, you know, for doing the garden. I just caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I’ve just been going down the shops,’ Zoe replied, and here comes the kicker, Jo responded with a tongue-in-cheek comment as she quipped, ‘Strictly gardening.’</p>
<p>Surely that means Zoe’s landed one of the top jobs on Strictly, right? RIGHT?</p>
<p>And although the new presenters are yet to be confirmed, it appears that show bosses are already working to secure celebrity contestant for the new series as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/has-cat-deeley-quit-this-morning/">This Morning</a>’s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/josie-gibson/">Josie Gibson</a> has reportedly been lined up to compete.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/claudia-tess-strictly.jpg?q=80' alt='Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly' /><p>‘Josie has been on the BBC’s radar for a while and they’ve not given up their pursuit. They’re hoping this year is the year, and talks are progressing well,’ a TV insider told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/38690435/josie-gibson-first-celeb-strictly-new-show/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Sun</a>.</p>
<p>They added, ‘Bosses are convinced her down-to-earth charm will be the boost this year’s new look show needs.</p>
<p>‘Warm and engaging, she’s just what they require right now and will be a sure-fire hit with fans.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Home improvement and do-it-yourself queen, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/stacey-solomon-leggings/">Stacey Solomon</a>, returned to our screens to bring another awaited series of <em>Sort Your Life Out</em>. The team helped families across Britain to declutter and reorganise their homes in a once-in-a-lifetime transformation. Of course, we're obsessed with everything that Stacey Solomon does, from her <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/stacey-solomon-label-machine/">home hacks</a> to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/beauty/stacey-solomon-tools-storage/">product recommendations</a>, but also her down-to-earth and wearable wardrobe.</p>
<p>Season 6 was a series to remember. If you missed it, you can watch Stacey and the team's thrilling projects over at BBC iPlayer. We kept tabs on Stacey Solomon's outfits all season long, from her cosy cardigans to her stylish co-ords, so you can recreate the look.</p>
<p>We worked hard to bring you her exact <em>Sort Your Life Out</em> outfits from the entire season. Where they were out of stock or slightly out of budget, we brought affordable dupes from the high street, instead. So, if you love Stacey Solomon's outfits as much as we do, shop her looks below.</p>

<h2>SHOP: Stacey Solomon's Sort Your Life Out outfits</h2>
<h2>Episode 6</h2>
<h2>Stacey's blue frill sleeve cardigan and black ribbed cardigan</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-6-1.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Concluding the series, Stacey wore the outfit above. It appeared Stacey may be layering two cardigans here; one looks like a fluted blue cardigan over the top of a black ribbed cardigan. We can't be certain where either of these are from, so we've selected some dupes.</p>
<h2>Stacey's brown coloured co-ord</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-5-2.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Stace styled out a loungewear co-ord from River Island, consisting of a comfy boxy tee and a pair of joggers. Thankfully, it's actually fully stocked, but it's getting bagged fast.</p>
<h2>Stacey's lime green jumper</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-4-2.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Stacey added a pop of colour with this bright lime green jumper and styled it out with a pair of white jeans from an unidentified brand. Luckily, we know exactly where to shop for her jumper, and it's in stock at Next.</p>
<h2>Stacey's yellow bow button cardigan</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-13.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Stace and team SYLO stepped in to help the Mann-Monro family, and Stacey wore a cute yellow cardi with pearl bow buttons. Unfortunately, this is apparently an out-of-stock option from Zara.</p>
<h2>Episode 5</h2>
<h2>Stacey's cream polo jumper</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-3-3.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits (3)' /><p>Stace loved a polo neck jumper this series. Welcoming the family back, she wears a cream knit polo jumper from Monki. There are few sizes left in stock, so if you see it in your size, snap it up.</p>
<h2>Stacey's khaki coloured co-ord</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-2-5.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits (2)' /><p>Honestly, we looked everywhere for Stacey's khaki co-ord, but unfortunately, couldn't find it anywhere. Instead, we've found inspired dupes on the high street.</p>
<h2>Stacey's blue polo jumper</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-1-7.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits (1)' /><p>We reckon Stace might be wearing a jumper from Arket here, but no surprise, it's almost sold out. She teams with dusty blue trousers for a co-ordinated blue look.</p>
<h2>Stacey's lilac jumper</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-12.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Stacey and the team are sent in to help the Allan family organise their home, and we think Stace might have worn a <a href="https://www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-brushed-cashmere-crew-neck-jumper/lilac/p113947877" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">John Lewis jumper</a>, now out of stock. We've found a cool alternative for her lilac jumper from her fave brand, ASOS.</p>
<h2>Episode 4</h2>
<h2>Stacey's blue floral mini dress</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-1-2.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits (1)' /><p>Stacey's pretty blue summer dress is from Needs No Label, and we've managed to find the exact dress over at Boohoo. It features angel sleeves, ruffles and shirred detailing around the waistline.</p>
<h2>Stacey's red knitted waistcoat</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-11.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-red-knitted-waistcoat' /><p>We've come to realise that Stacey loves a waistcoat moment, and we found her exact one from ASOS. It comes in a bright red hue with tortoiseshell buttons running down the front. She styles with a pair of white shorts from an unknown brand.</p>
<h2>Stacey's camel overalls</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-4.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Stacey got stuck in, wearing Emilia Lane's cotton overalls in this fab colourway. The stylish yet practical dungarees nail Stacey's cosy, down-to-earth style. Shop them below.</p>
<h2>Stacey's denim top and short co-ord</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-1-6.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-denim-co-ord' /><p>For episode four, Stace and the team were ready to assist the Parej family. We're convinced Stacey's done a haul on ASOS at this point, as her cute denim co-ord is from... yep, you guessed it, ASOS.</p>
<h2>Episode 3</h2>
<h2>Stacey's pink coloured co-ord</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-3-2.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits (3)' /><p>Welcoming Craig and Craig back, Stace wore another co-ord from ASOS. This one features a shirt and trousers set, with the shirt featuring an open back design. The shirt is almost out of stock, while the trousers have a full size range available.</p>
<h2>Stacey's green coloured co-ord</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-2-4.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>During the home makeover, Stacey was spotted wearing another fab co-ord from ASOS, this time in a lovely springtime green. There are still some sizes left in stock, but it's selling fast.</p>
<h2>Stacey's denim jumpsuit</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-1-4.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Luckily, Stacey's super cute denim jumpsuit from Monki is still pretty well stocked, and you can shop it on ASOS. She layers it over the top of a short-sleeved white tee.</p>
<h2>Stacey's lilac jumper with white pleated trousers</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-5.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Stacey and team SYLO got to work on turning dads, "Big" Craig and "Little" Craig's house, into a dream home. To begin with, Stace wears a lovely lilac jumper, which we think might be from <a href="https://www.arket.com/en-gb/product/alpaca-wool-blend-jumper-lilac-1234601009/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Arket</a>, with a pair of pleated white trousers, which we suspect are from ASOS, both out of stock.</p>
<h2>Episode 2</h2>
<h2>Stacey's ruffle hem cream cardigan</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-23.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-1(1)' /><p>Unfortunately, we couldn't find Stacey's lovely ruffle sleeve cardigan anywhere, but we have landed on a few close alternatives so you can get the same vibe.</p>
<h2>Stacey's blue coloured co-ord</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-1-1.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Yep, Stace's co-ord is another find from ASOS, but the jumper is selling ridiculously fast in the sale with few sizes left still in stock. Both the jumper and the trousers are on sale, and are an absolute bargain.</p>
<h2>Stacey's red cardigan</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-22.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-1(1)' /><p>It's hard to tell here, but we're pretty sure Stacey's cardi might be the Knitted Exposed Seam Elaxed Cardigan from Topshop, although it's nearly sold out. We've reached this conclusion based on the exaggerated drop-shoulder seam and black buttons on Stacey's original.</p>
<h2>Stacey's khaki cardigan</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-21.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-1(1)' /><p>In this episode, Stacey is called in to assist the Saunders family. Stacey's khaki cardi is from Pieces at ASOS. It has a boxy silhouette and slightly structured sleeves. Plus, there are loads of colours to choose from.</p>
<h2>Episode 1</h2>
<h2>Stacey's gold floral button waistcoat and khaki pleated trousers</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits-1.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-sort-your-life-out-outfits' /><p>Stacey and the SYLO team revealed the King family's new home, and it was decorated to perfection. Stace wore a Mango waistcoat with decorative floral buttons in gold hardware. She paired with pleated khaki trousers.</p>
<h2>Stacey's pink jumper</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-13.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-1(1)' /><p>Stacey's jumper from <a href="https://www.next.co.uk/style/su822960/h87974" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Simply Be</a> is sold out, but its slouchy, laidback look and pink hue have made it fairly easy to replicate. Shop a few alternatives, below.</p>
<h2>Stacey's rust coloured co-ord</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-12.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-1(1)' /><p>Stacey wore a rust-coloured co-ord from ASOS, consisting of a comfortable tee and trousers. Luckily, her exact co-ord is (just about) still in stock. Shop it before it's gone.</p>
<h2>Stacey's lime green waistcoat and pinstripe trousers</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-11.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey-solomon-outfits-episode-1(1)' /><p>Stace and the team were brought in to help the King family. Stacey wore a lime-green waistcoat from <a href="https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/227229475322" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Zara</a> (now out of stock) with green-and-white pinstripe trousers, which we believe are from Wednesday's Girl at ASOS.</p>

<p>With that in mind, here are the 15 new in pieces that I'm shopping this week from the high street.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Concerns mounted for <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/eamonn-holmes-revenge-expose-truth/">Eamonn Holmes</a> last week after it was revealed that he had been hospitalised following a stroke. And now, in the midst of their divorce battle, sources tell Closer that ex-wife <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ruth-langsford-speaks-out-eamonn-holmes-split/">Ruth Langsford</a> has been left feeling conflicted over his health scare.</p>
<p>‘Ruth is feeling really torn,’ an insider says. ‘She’s technically still Eamonn’s wife and his next of kin. When she heard he’d gone into hospital, she asked pals for advice on what she should do. Despite their divorce now being in its final weeks, when she got the news, she wanted to go to him.</p>
<p>‘Ruth feels whatever she does she will be judged. She doesn’t want to appear heartless, but it has been the worst two years of her life and Eamonn has been the cause of that. Of course she cares about him, but she doesn’t think she would be made to feel welcome for a visit to Eamonn at the hospital. She does care if Eamonn is OK, and she wouldn’t wish this on her worst enemy, despite their differences.’</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-1044104926-1.jpg?q=80' alt='ruth langsford' /><p>News broke of Eamonn’s stroke earlier this month after GB News shared a statement, in which the presenter was described as ‘responding well to treatment’. His eldest son Declan followed this up by telling fans that what had happened to his dad was a ‘real shock’, adding that the support ‘means so much’.</p>
<p>As messages of well wishes poured in, Eamonn, 66, addressed fans in an Instagram post just days later. Sharing a sweet photograph of his two granddaughters holding up a sign reading ‘get well soom [sic]’, Eamonn wrote, ‘As my beautiful granddaughters put it so well – I will do my best to get well SOOM. Thank you for all of your many many good wishes, they give me strength.’</p>
<p>The stroke marks Eamonn’s latest health battle. He has undergone spinal surgery and a double hip replacement in recent years, and his struggles with walking have led to him relying on a walking stick and wheelchair, with carers helping him throughout the day.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/ruth-eamon.jpg?q=80' alt='ruth langsford and eamonn holmes' /><p>Fans were left concerned for him last month after he appeared to fall asleep while fronting GB News with co-host Ellie Costello. Some viewers also pointed out that he seemed to be slurring his words and had struggled to put the lid back on a pen. He was quick to address the speculation, clarifying that he had not fallen asleep live on-air.</p>
<p>‘I was just looking down at my mic pack to see why it was not working, as we don’t have floor managers or camera operators,’ Eamonn said after the incident.</p>
<p>His difficult few weeks coincided with the release of ex-wife Ruth’s tell-all memoir, in which she spoke openly about the breakdown of their 14-year marriage for the first time since their split in May 2024. She described it as a ‘huge shock’, saying it had left her feeling ‘broken’. The former couple were together for 27 years and are parents to son Jack, 24.</p>
<p>Ruth, 66, also addressed speculation about her dating life, insisting that while she will ‘never say never’ to finding love again, she’s ‘quite fine being on my own’.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/eamonn.jpg?q=80' alt='eamonn holmes' /><p>In contrast to Ruth, Eamonn moved on with new girlfriend Katie Alexander just a few months after his marriage ended. Eamonn has previously described Katie, 44 – a child psychologist and mum-of-three – as the ‘perfect tonic’ amid his health woes.</p>
<p>Despite both he and Ruth putting their marriage behind them, our source explains that Eamonn’s stroke has stirred up lots of emotions for his ex-wife – especially as their divorce is shortly due to be finalised.</p>
<p>‘It’s only recently that Ruth has finally felt like she’s not married and properly single. She removed the wedding ring and then this bombshell dropped. She really didn’t think he was that unwell,’ the insider says.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/closer-1207.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>And Ruth is also trying to play peacemaker between Eamonn and their son Jack, who have had a strained relationship ever since the pair split. ‘She’s not sure what to do other than to encourage Jack to see his father, just in case he does take a turn for the worse,’ the source continues.</p>
<p>‘Eamonn is equally to blame in the breakdown between father and son. Possibly now Eamonn will reach out, Jack is waiting.’</p>
<p>For the time being, Eamonn has his girlfriend firmly by his side. The insider adds, ‘Katie has been loyally supporting him. Katie confided that nothing validates how much you love someone until life comes and slaps you in the face.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>In a surprisingly low-key ceremony at London’s Marylebone Town Hall, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/amy-childs-towie/">Amy Childs</a> finally married her long-term beau <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/billy-delbosq/">Billy Delbosq</a> earlier this month.</p>
<p>But their decision to invite only a handful of guests has apparently gone down badly with her <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> co-stars who are fuming, insiders tell Closer.</p>
<p>‘She’s had a lot of backlash from some of her TOWIE co-stars since the pictures came out in the press. The only TOWIE pal who knew about the wedding was <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry [Derbidge]</a>, which didn’t go down well at all with the other cast. But Amy and Bill wanted it to be private,’ a source tells us.</p>
<p>However, our insider says Amy is planning a bigger second wedding for later this year, which will have a much longer guest list.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/amy-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='amy childs billy delbosq wedding' /><p>‘They’re having a huge wedding in Spain in September where everyone will be invited. It’ll be a big showbiz bash and she can’t wait. She’s told everyone it’s going to be amazing. ITV have even given the wedding its own show,’ the source adds.</p>
<p>The couple’s intimate nuptials were attended by their families, including Amy’s cousin and TOWIE co-star Harry. The bride, dressed in a traditional white gown, was joined by her father as she arrived at the registry office via black cab.</p>
<p>The newlyweds’ twins, Amelia and Billy, three, looked adorable in navy blue and white outfits, and were joined by Amy’s eldest two children, Polly, nine, and Ritchie, seven, from previous relationships.</p>
<p>Polly – who Amy shares with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/amy-childs-ex-boyfriend-bradley-wright-jailed-18-months/">ex-boyfriend Bradley Wright</a> – read a poem dedicated to her stepfather during the day and was seen playing the piano for guests in a clip.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/wedding-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='amy childs billy delbosq wedding' /><p><strong><em>Obsessed with celeb outfits, lifestyle tips and the latest showbiz news?</em></strong> <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk"><strong><em>Click here</em></strong></a> <strong><em>to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</em></strong></p>
<p>‘Still can’t believe I am married. I’m still in a bubble and I don’t want it to end,’ Amy told fans. She added that planning is well underway for their second ceremony.</p>
<p>To celebrate their nuptials, the Delbosqs headed to Claridge’s hotel in Mayfair for an overnight stay with their children, where they spent time at the spa and enjoyed lunch at Gordon Ramsay’s Lucky Cat restaurant.</p>
<p>In a heartfelt tribute to his new wife, Billy, 42, revealed the hotel is a special place for the pair, adding, ‘To my Wife… Mrs Delbosq – We have created a lifetime of memories for which this hotel will forever be our place.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/amy-and-dad-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='amy childs wedding' /><p>It comes after the TOWIE star – who <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/amy-childs-engagement-ring/">got engaged to Billy in 2023</a> – opened up about previously having to delay the wedding due to her mum Julie’s ill health, following a heart attack. At the time, Amy, 35, admitted it had been ‘intensely stressful’, adding, ‘None of us was expecting Mum to have a heart attack – it turned our world upside down.’</p>
<p>And while Amy and Billy – who began dating in 2021 – got their dream day in the end, it didn’t come without a dose of TOWIE-worthy drama.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/closer-1207.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>An insider reveals, ‘Amy’s dress was a huge, stressful saga. The whole thing was a nightmare as she didn’t have a dress until two days before the wedding. The original dress she had made went wrong. Thankfully, her dress on the day looked incredible.’</p>
<p>Wardrobe malfunctions aside, the Delbosqs’ wedding went off without a hitch and was exactly the intimate ceremony they’d hoped for.</p>
<p>A source adds, ‘Amy blew everyone away when she walked down the aisle – and Bill cried. It was a day they’d been planning in secret for months, something they wanted to be just about them and their family.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Two years after losing her husband <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kate-garraway-husband-derek-draper-2/">Derek Draper</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kate-garraway-husband-derek/">Kate Garraway</a> is ‘smiling again’ after growing close to a new man – fellow broadcaster Liam Halligan.</p>
<p>‘Liam is charming, funny and intelligent,’ says a source. ‘He and Kate have been enjoying some lovely dates for a while, which has been just the tonic she needs after what she’s been through. They go back a long way and have so much in common. Kate seems really happy and her friends really like him.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Kate-Garraway-2.jpg?q=80' alt='Kate Garraway' /><p>The pair – who’ve known each other for 20 years – were spotted ‘getting cosy’ at a pub in Liam’s hometown in Essex, when he was performing with his band. A source said last week that it was ‘lovely to see Kate smiling again’.</p>
<p>Single dad Liam, 56 – a former economics and business editor at GB News – seems equally smitten. Revealing that they had been ‘reintroduced’ by mutual friends, he admitted it’s ‘early days’ but they’ll ‘see what happens’.</p>
<p>GMB presenter Kate, 58 – who is mum to Darcey, 20, and William, 16 – cared for her husband of 19 years Derek after he became seriously ill with Covid-19 in March 2020. Tragically, the former political lobbyist died in 2024, aged just 56.</p>

<p>As well as being open about her grief, Kate had previously discussed finding love in the future. ‘It’s a weird one, because I wouldn’t like to think I’d spend the rest of my life without love, but also it feels preposterous at the moment to think of being with anyone else,’ she said in October.</p>
<p>‘What Derek and I loved was our home life and just pottering around, and we had 21 years of that, so mentally I am still in that zone. However, I do realise that, when the time is right, I am not going to meet someone in my living room, so I’m going to have to think about the future at some point.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Closer-1207.png?q=80' alt='Closer 1207' /><p>Our source adds, ‘Friends are thrilled to see Kate making time for herself after putting everyone else first for so long. She feels like a teenager again.Her kids are still her priority, but she’s carving out time now for her and Liam.</p>
<p>‘Friends are saying Kate so deserves this new fairy-tale romance, Liam clearly adores her and they are having lots of fun together.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>When the temperature drops (or, let's be honest, even threatens to), there's one place we head: <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/what-to-buy-at-marks-and-spencer-new-in/">Marks and Spencer</a>. If there's one thing that M&#x26;S understands, it's outerwear that looks chic and <em>lasts</em>. Whether it's school runs, office commutes, or weekend coffee walks, you can throw on our favourite M&#x26;S coats and jackets for a stylish spring-time layer.</p>
<p>Coats and jackets don't have to be an afterthought. After all, they can make (or break) an outfit for a good chunk of the year. And, while we love a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-dresses/">statement M&#x26;S dress</a> or a great pair of boots, it's your outer layer that does the heavy lifting. The good news? M&#x26;S has seriously stepped up its coat game. We're talking sharp, tailored wool styles, cosy wrap coats, practical puffers, and cute cropped jackets that make layering feel effortless.</p>
<p>It's not just their own-label pieces, either. Alongside their classic designs, you'll find standout styles from brands like Joules, Sosandar and Monsoon (to name a few). This means you can blend <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-knitwear/">M&#x26;S classic knitwear</a> with trendier silhouettes from other brands, which is iconic, if you ask us. We're looking for coats and jackets that can transform even the most basic outfit into a fashion moment.</p>
<p>With so much outerwear online, finding the pieces worth your money can feel like a part-time job. Do you go classic camel or something bolder? Cropped or longline? Trendy or timeless? It’s a lot. After digging through hundreds of options, we’ve narrowed it down to the 15 best M&#x26;S coats and jackets that deserve a place in your wardrobe. Some are investments you’ll wear year after year. Others are fresh new-season finds. Some are even in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/marks-and-spencer-sale/">the M&#x26;S sale</a> (you know we can't resist a bargain). Whether you’re after a smart office coat, an everyday throw-on jacket or something cosy enough to tackle proper cold snaps, this edit has you covered (literally).</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>They infamously had one of the most acrimonious splits of all time, leading to a bitter cold war that lasted well over two decades. But, by all accounts, pigs must be flying in Hollywood because, according to insiders, the impossible is happening: <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/tom-cruise-meg-ryan-romance/">Tom Cruise</a>, 63, and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/nicole-kidman-new-man-keith-urban-split/">Nicole Kidman</a>, 58, are finally making amends. And even more shockingly, they’re planning an emotional reunion after 25 years with their grown-up children in tow.</p>
<p>Closer understands that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/nicole-kidman-just-child-married-tom-cruise/">the once embittered exes</a>, who were married for 11 years before finally parting ways in 2001, have been in discussion for a while now over the possibility of ‘breaking bread’. But with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/nicole-kidman-new-man-keith-urban-split/">Nicole’s divorce from second husband Keith Urban</a> now finalised, and with Tom continuing his campaign to repair old wounds of the past with former friends, the time is now apparently right to put their plan in action. It might once have been a Mission: Impossible – but finally, with so much water under the bridge, a reunion now seems to be more likely than ever.</p>
<p>‘Tom and Nicole have been saying for ages that they’re finally at a place where they are ready to break bread together, but it’s been very tough to get anything on the books because of their busy schedules,’ says an insider close to the A-list pair, who first met in 1989 while filming Days of Thunder and married one year later. ‘Of course, Nicole has also had her divorce to deal with. But things have settled way down with Keith – she’s found her footing again and is back to feeling strong. She knows her kids are really looking forward to having their parents in the same room again, so it’s something she’s determined to follow through with. It’s a huge step because she and Tom didn’t speak for so long, but enough time has passed that they’ve both been able to let a lot go.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Inside-Tom-Cruise-Nicole-Kidmans-emotional-reunion-two-decades-after-bitter-divorce.2.jpg?q=80' alt='Nicole Kidman attends Apple's "Margo's Got Money Troubles" premiere at Regal Union Square' /><p>As showbiz historians will know, Tom and Nicole’s divorce was mired in pain and controversy, as it’s believed they split as she no longer wanted to live under the tenets of Tom’s beloved Church of Scientology. As such, she was duly labelled a ‘suppressive person’ or ‘SP’ – the name given by members of the pseudo-religion to people who dissent. What was most painful for Nicole was her subsequent estrangement from their children – Bella, now 33, and Connor, now 31 – who stayed with Tom and were raised as Scientologists.</p>
<p>Though Nicole rarely spoke about their family situation, she did allude to her pain in 2007, saying in an interview: ‘My kids don’t call me mommy. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it.’ She then elaborated in 2019, acknowledging Tom’s religion as contributing to the breakdown of her relationship with her children. ‘They are able to make their own choices,’ she said of Connor and Bella. ‘They have made choices to be Scientologists and, as a mother, it’s my job to love them. And I am an example of that tolerance and that’s what I believe – that no matter what your child does, the child has love and the child has to know there is available love, and I’m open here.’</p>
<p>With so much bitterness and broken bonds behind the scenes, it’s no surprise that Tom and Nicole spent years avoiding each other – not least given he seemed to repeat the same pattern with his third wife, Katie Holmes. Like Nicole, Katie’s believed to have divorced Tom in 2012 to escape the clutches of Scientology, but – having seen Nicole’s parental estrangement – she made sure that her and Tom’s daughter, Suri, now 19, was also taken as far away from the church as possible. Since then, Tom’s reportedly had little to no relationship with Suri.</p>
<p>However, in recent years, it’s believed that Tom has “mellowed” when it comes to his zealous fervour and dedication to Scientology. He’s certainly adopted a less evangelical approach, reportedly making efforts to reconnect with old friends he previously lost after trying and failing to convert them. Two such friends are David and Victoria Beckham, who are now regular features in his life – years after the trio’s friendship fell apart following the Beckhams’ refusal to join Scientology. According to our insider, Tom’s more “chilled” approach hasn’t gone unnoticed, suggesting to Nicole that there is indeed a path forward for them to repair old wounds.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Inside-Tom-Cruise-Nicole-Kidmans-emotional-reunion-two-decades-after-bitter-divorce.1.jpg?q=80' alt='Tom Cruise arrives on THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON -- Episode 2137' /><p>Meanwhile, Nicole’s also feeling reflective right now. In January, she and country singer Keith finalised their divorce after 19 years of marriage, finally giving her a sense of closure and a chance to move on. It’s since been said that he was a major roadblock to her reconnecting to her and Tom’s children in previous years, as she lived such a different, distanced life with him and their two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, in Nashville. But even before they split, Nicole was making subtle moves towards reconnecting with her older children – especially Bella, who’s publicly liked some of her mum’s posts on Instagram, in a striking show of unity. Now that Nicole is single again, there’s less baggage and weight attached to her making amends with her first ex-husband, and reconnecting as a family.</p>
<p>‘People in Tom’s world are very excited for him because they know how badly he’s wanted to have peace with Nicole,’ our source explains, pointing out that the actor has been sending subtle signals for a while now, even publicly calling Nicole a ‘great actress’ last year in a very rare comment about his ex. ‘It’s something that’s been on his agenda for a very long time. He’s at this stage in life where he wants to do everything he can to have a clean slate. Obviously, it’s not something he can decide to do all on his own, the other party has to be willing, so it’s a huge relief for him that Nicole is finally ready to let all the bad blood go.’</p>
<p>As for how and when their reunion will happen, it’s now a matter of ‘logistics’.</p>
<p>‘It’s just a case of finding a date that works for everyone and locking in where they’re all going to meet,’ we’re told. ‘London is the frontrunner, because Bella is based there and Tom spends so much time over there too, but they may do it in Florida to make it easier for Connor [who lives there]. Everyone around them can see this is a genuine effort, not just talk, which is why there’s a lot of optimism that it will actually come together. Tom is certainly feeling hopeful, everyone has noticed that this has put a real spring in his step.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> icon <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/love-island/whitney-adebayo/">Whitney Adebayo</a>, the one thing you can guarantee from the bombshell is that she will have you laughing.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2023/">2023</a> Islander recently took part in<a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2026/">All Stars</a> where she made it to the final alongside American bombshell <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/love-island/yamen-sanders/">Yamen Sanders</a>. The duo came in fifth place and since they've been out of the villa, their romance has been thriving (at least according to social media).</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/LI-AS-Whitney-smile.jpg?q=80' alt='Whitney' /><p>But then it was revealed that <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/love-island/yamen-sanders-perfect-match/">Yamen was going to feature on a DIFFERENT dating</a> show called Perfect Match. It's not that the LA lad is cheating on Whit or playing the field, Perfect Match is an American series that was filmed prior to Love Island, it just hasn't aired yet.</p>
<p>Clearly, a million and one people have had their THOUGHTS on Yamen's dating show stint and now Whitney has responded to the news that she may well have to watch her fella neck on with people that are not her.</p>
<p>But it's Whitney, so we knew, we just KNEW, it was going to be about as serious as a <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/love-island/tyrique-hyde/">Tyrique Hyde</a> live stream.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/LI-AS-Yamen-Whitney-shock-lol.jpg?q=80' alt='Yamen and Whitney' /><p>'I've just found out that my tings on Love Match and, nah bro, it's not okay,' she declared in a TikTok she filmed with a pal, 'He's come to rubbish me, another one.'</p>
<p>Firstly, we are pretty sure that the show is called Perfect Match so it's even more hilarious that Whitney got the show name wrong. Secondly, she captioned the video 'Yikes' and can anyone else feel sarcasm from that one word?</p>
<p>Thirdly, in all honesty this feels like the best way Whitney could have handled all of the discourse surrounding Yamen on another dating series and clearly her bae is in cahoots as he even commented on the TikTok.</p>
<p>'Like, he should have told me this before and we didn't even win,' she joked, 'What was the reason? Oh my gosh.'</p>
<p>'I promise I’ve changed 🚶🏾‍♂️😔,' Yamen wrote with thousands of people liking it.</p>
<p>Luckily Whitney's fans and followers are familiar with her sense of humour and are loving the content and the fact she made a joke out of it.</p>
<p>'🤣 this took me out,' one person wrote, with someone else adding, 'This is hilarious 😂.'</p>
<p>What we loved even more was that as much as people are joking along with Whitney, most of the comments were complimenting Whitney's new golden honey hair which, we will be honest, also had us wondering if we should go lighter.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/LI-AS-Yamen-whitney-.jpg?q=80' alt='Whitney and Yamen' /><p>'Omg this hair on you Whit ♥️,' as well as, 'This hair looks so good on youuu,' and 'Your hair is eatingggg 😍' are just some of the love her fringe cut was getting.</p>
<p>Even when she's sharing a heartbreakingly devastating announcement Whitney can't help but look fabulous. A slay from the All Star.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Let's not lie, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> has always been good but series five - aka Love Island 2019 - was truly iconic.</p>
<p>We had <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/amber-gill-love-island/">Amber Gill</a> being a queen throughout the entire series, we introduced to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/molly-mae-hague/">Molly-Mae Hague</a> and we'll never forget <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/maura-higgins-love-island/">Maura Higgins</a> putting <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-tom-walker-transformation-picture/">Tom Walker</a> in his place. That was TV gold.</p>
<p>Also, remember when <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/yewande-biala/">Yewande Biala</a> said her iconic 'have a nice life' line? <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-molly-mae-hughes-sherif-lanre-relationship/">Sherif Lanre</a> got kicked off the show after nine days and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/michael-griffiths-love-island/">Michael Griffiths</a> mugged Amber off but then changed his mind when <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/joanna-chimonides-love-island/">Joanna Chimonides</a> was dumped.</p>
<p>Oh, and we'll never forget <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/love-island-anna-vakili/">Anna Vakili</a> screaming at her boyfriend <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/jordan-hames-love-island/">Jordan Hames</a> for trying to crack on with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/india-reynolds-love-island/">India Reynolds</a> just TWO DAYS after they became an official couple. So shady.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5e45/3bcf/9fdb/1c76/9423/9db0/love-island-anna-jordan.jpg?q=80' alt='love island 2019 cast anna jordan' /><p>It's been seven years since Amber and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/love-island-amber-gill-breaks-silence-greg-o-shea-split/">Greg O'Shea</a> were crowned the winners of Love Island 2019 and the series five Islanders have gone on to have major success and we dare we say it? They're probably the most famous bunch out of the gazillion Love Island stars we've watched over the years.</p>
<p>So we thought now is a good time to see what they're all doing now...</p>
<h2 id="h-who-won-love-island-in-2019">Who won Love Island in 2019?</h2>
<p>Despite being mugged off by Michael when he returned from <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/casa-amor-love-island/">Casa Amor</a> with Joanna, Amber still managed to win the show.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/6101/7311/13f3/dd9f/2fa4/f657/love-island-amber-2019-winner.jpg?q=80' alt='love island amber gill ' /><p>She was in a friendship couple with BFF Ovie for quite some time but the last bombshell to enter the villa - Greg - managed to sweep her off her feet and the rest is history.</p>
<h2 id="h-are-the-love-island-2019-couples-still-together">Are the Love Island 2019 couples still together?</h2>
<p>There's only one couple from Love Island 2019 series that's still together and it's Molly-Mae and Tommy. While they <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/molly-mae-hague-panic-tommy-fury-moves-out/">briefly split in August 2024</a>, they're back together and are expecting baby number two.</p>
<p>Being the last remaining couple from series five might come as a shock to viewers who branded Molly as 'Money Mae' during her time in the villa and Anton who accused her of playing a game - shortly after she pied him.</p>

<p>Despite Tommy and Molly-Mae being in an actual relationship in the villa, Amber and Greg won Love Island in 2019 with almost 50 per cent of the votes.</p>
<p>Greg and Amber had 48.8 per cent of the votes, Tommy and Molly were in second place with 25.56 per cent of the votes, bombshells Ovie and India came in third place with 18.21 per cent of the votes and in fourth place was Curtis and Maura with 7.4 per cent.</p>

<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/amy-hart-love-island-audition-video-3/">Amy Hart has even shared a video of her audition</a> to give everyone some inspiration and we have to admit it's very creative.</p>
<p>Oh and make sure you've read <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/rules-love-island/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the rules for inside the villa</a>so you don't do a Sherif and get kicked off the show.</p>
<h2 id="h-watch-mitch-and-ella-b-the-editors-couldn-t-find-proof-unaired-rows-days-off-love-island-secrets">WATCH: Love Island's most controversial moments</h2>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/author/eden-olivia-lord/"><em>Eden-Olivia</em></a> <em>is the deputy editor of Closer Online and she’s worked in showbiz since 2016.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>The idea of a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/michelle-keegan-dresses-very-collection/">capsule wardrobe</a> has taken the fashion world by storm over the past few years, despite the concept existing for decades. The truth is, capsule dressing saves you money in the long run by allowing you the freedom to rotate timeless, versatile pieces across your wardrobe, creating multiple looks that work together as part of complete outfits.</p>
<p>Across the last few years, trends have emphasised cost-effective, expensive-looking and minimal pieces that can be worn for all occasions. <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-dresses/">Daytime dresses</a> that can easily transition to the evening, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/ms-green-blazer/">tailored clothing</a> that can be worn in everyday life and to the office, and loungewear that doubles up as your work-from-home outfit. We told you, genius, right?</p>
<p>Think basic tops that can be worn with either jeans or a skirt, that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-coats/">smart coat</a> that goes with anything or a versatile pair of shoes that can be swapped around, no matter the occasion. Co-ords are also famously brilliant for this, as you can wear the items together, or as separates with other existing clothing in your wardrobe.</p>
<p>As a senior fashion writer, I'm looking to rebuild my capsule wardrobe for spring. I'm currently looking at high street retailers such as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/what-to-buy-at-marks-and-spencer-new-in/">M&#x26;S</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/what-to-buy-at-h-and-m-new-in/">H&#x26;M</a> and more to discover affordable basics that can be worn for the season ahead. As the weather gets warmer, I'll be turning to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-knitwear/">lightweight layering</a> and skirts that will pair with anything. But, just because the pieces are timeless doesn't mean they can't be <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/trend-report/">trend-led</a>...</p>
<p>If you're stuck for inspiration, take a look at my favourite spring capsule wardrobe ideas below.</p>

<h2>How to build a capsule wardrobe</h2>
<p>Before aiming to create a capsule wardrobe, consider all of the basics you need when creating an outfit. Many of us have the foundations already, but you might find that our tips below will allow you to make effective decisions when building a capsule wardrobe.</p>
<p>• <strong>Wardrobe assessment:</strong> It might be helpful to start fresh with a wardrobe overhaul, but if that's too overwhelming, take a look at your current wardrobe and assess what's missing. Do you need more tops, bottoms, dresses, layers or shoes? Focus on what you need more of and fill the gaps.</p>
<p>• <strong>Cohesive colours:</strong> Many recommend going for neutral colourways such as black, white, navy, grey and beige, but these colours aren't for everyone. Do what works best for your own personal style; the main thing is focusing on consistent and cohesive colours that work well with multiple pieces.</p>
<p>• <strong>Timeless prints:</strong> If you love a print, you'll be pleased to know that prints have a place in a capsule wardrobe, too. Work with prints that never go out of style and ones that can be adapted for all occasions, such as polka dots, florals, stripes, animal prints and geometric patterns.</p>
<p>• <strong>Seasonal dressing:</strong> Rotate your outfits seasonally and aim to create one capsule wardrobe for spring/summer, and one for autumn/winter. Bonus points if your items can be worn across all seasons, such as a basic top, a lightweight cardigan or a pair of jeans.</p>
<p>• <strong>Lifestyle factors:</strong> Consider whether you'll actually wear and feel comfortable in the pieces you're looking at, and what occasion you aim to wear them for. If you work from home, there's not much point in focusing on workwear, for example. Go for polished clothing that would work both for everyday and smarter settings, should an event come up in your calendar.</p>
<p>• <strong>Quality over quantity:</strong> Every item should work with at least three other pieces in your wardrobe. When purchasing, ask yourself, “Can I make at least three outfits with this?” and if not, leave it on the rack. Instead, invest in high-quality pieces that will stand the test of time.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>They’ve been friends with a capital F for over 30 years now – ever since first starring together on a little sitcom that made them big household names. But last week, Lisa Kudrow, 62, inadvertently went some way towards jeopardising her decades-long friendship with former co-star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/jennifer-aniston-jim-curtis-christmas/">Jennifer Aniston</a>, 57, after speaking out about some of the challenges she faced while filming Friends.</p>
<p>Speaking in an interview to promote the return of her beloved show The Comeback, Lisa reflected on feeling like a spare part in the industry after finding fame in the 1990s alongside her Friends co-stars Jennifer, Courteney Cox, Matt le Blanc, David Schwimmer and the late Matthew Perry. Taking aim at her talent agency at the time, she said she’d felt sidelined, alleging that some execs had simply labelled her ‘the sixth friend’.</p>
<p>To be clear, Lisa’s comments were specifically directed at industry bigwigs – not her co-stars, who have always put on a united front, not least since Matthew’s tragic death in 2023 from a fatal ketamine overdose. But according to insiders, her comments still didn’t sit well with Jen, who’s always valued discretion among her inner circle above all else.</p>
<p>Jen, for her part, has a specific reason to be focusing on privacy more than ever right now, as it’s believed she’s secretly planning her nuptials to boyfriend <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/jennifer-aniston-jim-curtis-relationship-ruined/">Jim Curtis</a>. The pair have been dating for almost a year, after first being spotted together in July 2025. But it was in November that Jennifer really stirred the rumour mill, after posting a birthday tribute to her spiritual coach and author boyfriend. Sharing a black and white photo of them bracing alongside the caption, ‘Happy birthday, my love. Cherished’, the picture swiftly went viral – with fans going wild over what was clearly a sparkling band on Jen’s ring finger.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Jennifer-Aniston-bans-this-A-lister-from-her-wedding-%E2%80%93-and-its-not-who-you-expect.1.jpg?q=80' alt='' /><p>Since then, neither Jen nor Jim has commented on whispers that they’re engaged, but insiders tell us a wedding is, indeed, in motion. And while Jen’s keeping busy planning the finer details of what will be her third nuptials, we’re told she’s now facing some extra tough questions when it comes to the guestlist. In the past, having all her Friends co-stars there would have been a no brainer. But with Lisa speaking out about her somewhat challenging time on the 90s TV behemoth, Jen’s feeling nervous that her loose lips could have a knock-on effect on her very private big day. Now, we’re told, she’s questioning if there’s even space for Lisa – and her apparent big mouth – at the wedding.</p>
<p>‘Lisa swears she meant no harm by her comments – she was merely pointing out that the others were seen as bigger stars, and she didn’t get the recognition at the time that she felt she deserved,’ says an insider close to the longtime friends, who first met while filming the pilot for their seminal hit show in 1994.</p>
<p>‘This was not an attack on Jen, Courteney, or the boys – she was just stating facts and being humble from her perspective. But the others, Jen especially, don’t see it that way. They’re not happy with Lisa for stirring up drama and shining a negative light on the franchise, making it all about her and putting out this ‘poor me’ message that reflects badly on everyone.</p>
<p>‘The timing is not good for Lisa as Jen is very focused right now on planning her and Jim’s wedding. She’s having a hard time narrowing down the guest list, but this has given her one less dilemma. Things might change down the line, but right now it’s looking unlikely that Lisa will make the cut – and she’s only got herself to blame.’</p>
<p>By all accounts, Lisa didn’t realise the hole she was digging herself into last week when she spoke about her time on Friends. Having previously always celebrated the role she played in one of the biggest shows of all time, and waxed lyrical about the close bonds they all shared on set, she set the cat among the pigeons last week while chatting to the Independent.</p>
<p>Reflecting on the fact that her co-stars swiftly had their pick of Hollywood roles outside the show, she said, ‘Nobody cared about me…There were certain parts [of my talent agency] that just referred to me as “the sixth friend”.’</p>
<p>She added: ‘There was no vision for me, and no expectations about the kind of career I could have. There was just, like, “boy is she lucky she got on that show”.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Jennifer-Aniston-bans-this-A-lister-from-her-wedding-%E2%80%93-and-its-not-who-you-expect.2.jpg?q=80' alt='' /><p>Later in the interview, she also dispelled rumours that she’d led the cast’s joint decision to negotiate their salaries as a collective – a move that ultimately won them a whopping $1m each per episode, stressing: 'I absolutely was not the ringleader. And that was reported and it wasn’t true. My team were very angry about that. It was leaked sort of as a warning to other clients like, “don’t do something like that”.'</p>
<p>As our source reveals, Jen – and her fellow Friends co-stars – don’t see the need for Lisa to be speaking about the past, especially when it comes to their much-storied salaries. While Jen knows that Lisa didn’t mean to cause offence, she also thinks it casts an unfortunate shadow on the time they all spent together on set. And that’s the issue she’s now facing as she counts the final numbers for her very intimate big day.</p>
<p>‘Jen and the rest of the cast are shocked that Lisa felt this way, and even more shocked she’d feel the need to voice it all these years later,’ we’re told. ‘It paints her as the victim, when she was anything but. She’s worth more than $100m, and most of that is thanks to her salary on Friends because they all negotiated as a unit. The cast certainly never treated her as the sixth friend. It’s sad that she felt some people did, but it’s also kind of a head scratcher that she’d choose to highlight that negativity all these years later. They are surprised that’s what she remembers, instead of how unified they all were, how beautiful it was that they stuck together for the good of them all.’</p>
<p>The way things stand, it’s not looking good for Lisa – who, until now, has always seemed to be on the best of terms with her former co-stars. As our insider explains, ‘Jen will always love Lisa – the whole cast have a very special bond that will never be broken.’ But when it comes to her wedding – a long-awaited moment following her two failed marriages to Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux – she’s not prepared to compromise or make allowances for anyone. And sadly, that includes her longtime friend with a capital F.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>We celebrate bodies of all different shapes and sizes, but if you're looking for an added touch of confidence, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-shapewear-uk/">the best shapewear</a> leggings might just offer a solution. As well as seeing you through daily errands and underneath occasion outfits, some of the best shapewear leggings can also be worn for the gym, too.</p>
<p>If your tummy or legs are areas you're particularly conscious of (though we encourage you to embrace your body no matter what), leggings that smooth and support your curves will have you practically radiating confidence. Rest assured, shapewear isn't necessarily about changing our body types either; it's about gently sculpting the figure we already have.</p>

<p>If you like to hit the gym, shapewear leggings can also work to keep muscles engaged and joints supported during workout sessions. In fact, we spoke to an expert, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/krail/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Kevin Rail</a>, a health coach, fitness nutrition specialist, personal trainer, and Senior Contributor at <a href="https://premiumsaunas.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Premium Saunas</a>. Kevin revealed, 'Gentle compression from well-made shapewear leggings presses evenly against the skin and the vessels just under it. This steady pressure can assist the calf and thigh muscles in returning blood toward the heart, which may help circulation and make the legs feel lighter during activity.'</p>
<p>With 25 years of expertise and multiple certifications, Kevin continues, 'The uniform squeeze also helps reduce excess muscle vibration, providing a sense of stability and support. While compression leggings don’t directly align the hips, knees, and ankles, many people find that the added support encourages better body awareness and form. With improved comfort and circulation, workouts can feel smoother, and recovery may be more comfortable and therefore potentially quicker.'</p>

The fabric is thick, compressive and totally opaque, offering support around the tummy and shaping your waist, which I absolutely love. Despite being thick, they're also breathable due to the moisture-wicking fabric. Being petite, length is always a struggle. With a platform trainer and pulling them up high, I didn't have trouble tripping on them, but I might reserve these for my everyday as opposed to running purely because of the length.

<h2>How we tested the best bras</h2>
<p>Here at Closer, our writers put the best bras to the test, evaluating the bras against various standards such as fit accuracy, design, support, comfort and aesthetics. Overall, we managed to try and test seven bras, but where we couldn't test, we chose highly-rated bras from trusted retailers too.</p>
<p>Senior Commercial Content Writer, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/author/samantha-price/">Samantha Price</a>, tested two bras from Boux Avenue and had this to say about the testing process. "I was measured as a 34D across Boux Avenue, Marks &#x26; Spencer and John Lewis a few years ago now. Having measured my bra size at home months ago, the bra fitting I had been given was still accurate. I don't tend to fluctuate all that much in terms of my bra size. I've been testing these Boux Avenue bras for years and found they fit me accurately and suit my needs perfectly. There are two things I look for when purchasing a bra. I need a comfy, everyday bra, and I also need a 'going out' bra. The main things I prioritise are either comfort or shape. Bonus points if it has both. Both bras I tested tick all of the boxes for me."</p>

If it’s digging in, poking, or leaving red marks, it’s a no from me. I want a bra that I can wear all day long and not feel like I’m wearing one. I had a virtual fitting with a Curvy Kate bra fit specialist a year or two ago and realised I’d been wearing the wrong size for ages (I went from a B cup to an E). Now I check in with the M&#x26;S bra fit team every six months, just to be sure. Right now, I’m a 38DD. I find that sometimes sizes aren’t the same across the board when you try different bras on from different brands (same as clothes), but the Next plunge bra I tried was bang on for size."</p>

This isn't just any push-up bra. This is a super push-up bra, meaning you'll look at least two cup sizes bigger when you're wearing this. Made from a soft microfibre and available in three wearable colours, reviewers were pleasantly surprised that it was so comfortable to wear, and claimed it gives you the perfect amount of lift. Personally, we found this to be the best bra for side set breasts.  

Senior Commercial Content Writer, :aSamantha Price{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/samantha-price/' }, says: "I have never in my life been able to achieve a cleavage, despite being a 34D. I've tried countless push-up bras, and this is the only one that seems to work for me. I think it's down to the incredibly thick padding and cleverly designed teardrop-shaped cups, which push your boobs together and lift them up all at once. I have it in all colours, white, nude and black. All in all, they look seamless under t-shirts, give the shape I've always wanted and finally, allow me to have a cleavage. Literally a boob job in a bra. It's fantastic."

However, in order to be useful, a strapless bra must stay up and simultaneously be comfortable to wear. No easy feat. Wonderbra's Ultimate Strapless Bra ticks both of those boxes, complete with innovative hand support cups that provide lift as you wear it. Meanwhile, non-slip silicone built into the band means this strapless won't be slipping down any time soon. A customer called it the 'gold standard for strapless support.'  

Style Editor, :aCigdem Tanrioglu{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/cigdem-tanrioglu/' }, says: "As a fuller-busted girlie, I am always on the hunt for a good strapless bra that lifts and supports - and so far, nothing has beaten Wonderbra’s strapless bra, which has been my go-to for over 10 years. Instead of classic wiring, it features a plastic, hand-shaped support inside each cup. These essentially mimic the feeling of you lifting your breasts with your own hands. It may sound odd, but trust me, it works. No matter what outfit I’m wearing, it creates an incredible silhouette. The back band also has small silicone dots that grip onto my skin to hold it in place. That’s right - there’s no need to hoist your bra up every two seconds when you’re wearing this bad boy. I usually wear a 32FF, but I find that the back band runs small. I prefer the fit of a 34F, which offers the same amount of support without any discomfort."

It provides a natural shape with its lightly padded cups and plenty of support with its comfortable fitting band and straps that never dig in. Reviewers say it's well-fitting and comfortable, with one commenter calling it the best wireless bra ever. Perfect for lounge days or wearing daily.  

Senior Commercial Content Writer, :aSamantha Price{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/samantha-price/' }, says: "This is by far the comfiest bra I own, and it's an absolute go-to for me. I've worn my current one for years, and it's a fantastic everyday bra. It's so good that, after many years of wear and the hooks finally giving out, I repurchased two more. A no-brainer purchase for me after years of loving my original one. I love the natural, lifted shape that it gives me, and the fact that it's so seamless. It hardly feels like you're wearing anything at all due to its lack of wires. It looks fab under all of my tight-fitting t-shirts. I'd also recommend the :aLounge Bra{href='https&#x3A;//www.bouxavenue.com/sale-bras/lounge-bra/102071_10WH.html' target='\_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'} - highly similar and currently a tenner in the sale!

It's sleek, sophisticated and looks much more expensive than it is. With cup sizes running to a G, this t-shirt bra is a fantastic everyday solution for those with a bigger bust who want to feel supported and finally enjoy a seamless bra that looks almost invisible under clothing. Shoppers are loving this bra, hailing it a super comfortable bra that's perfect for wearing in the day-to-day.  

Life & Style Writer, :aEmma Hawkins{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-bras/' }, says: "Honestly, I never thought I’d get excited over a t-shirt bra, but here we are. As someone with a fuller bust, my so-called ‘everyday’ bras have usually fallen into one of two camps: super supportive but bulky, or cute but completely useless. Then I found Lounge – and their fuller-bust offering. Supportive, discreet, and – thanks to its sleek design and thinner straps – even a little bit sexy. The ultimate test? Wearing it under one of my semi-sheer white baby tees. Usually, you can see everything – seams, straps, the lot – but this? It just disappears. Comfort-wise, it’s soft, lightweight, and doesn’t dig in, but still keeps everything lifted and exactly where it should be. If you’ve got a fuller bust and are constantly battling with straps, seams, or show-through, this might just be the bra for you. I’ve been living in mine – and honestly? I want one in every colour."

The Delimira Minimiser Bra is your girl. A simple design with full-coverage cups that consist of compression lining for smoothing out your bust, it can minimise your cup size up to two inches. Not only does it come in a ton of colours, but it also has thick padded straps and high-cut sides for support, making it the perfect option for everyday. In fact, a customer said you hardly know that you're wearing it.  

Commercial Content Editor, :aEleanor Weaver{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/eleanor-weaver/' }, says: "I only bought this bra recently, but it's now my absolute favourite. It's affordable, soft and smoothing, comfortable with wide straps and elastic sides, and actually minimising. It comes in a bunch of colours (I now have a few extra in my basket) and I've found the wired cups to be supportive without digging in. It does say it's hand-wash only, but after putting it through my washing machine a few times on a low heat, it's survived to tell the tale."

You can get around that effortlessly with a plunge bra, specifically designed for those low-cut moments. With a deep 'u-plunge' neckline, this bra performs perfectly under occasionwear and more. Surprisingly non-wired, it's crafted from breathable nylon and stretch elastane for total comfort. Using all-over bonding and innovative smoothing fabric to create a sleek silhouette, reviewers claim the fit and size are accurate.  

Senior Commercial Content Writer, :aRosie Floyd{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/rosie-floyd/' }, says: "After getting fed up with my bra constantly showing at the top of any low-cut dress, I went on the hunt for one that actually sits low enough to stay hidden. That’s when I found this bra. Because the centre is u-shaped instead of straight across, it dips low enough to stay out of sight under clothes. It’s mostly wire-free, which I love. The cups don’t have any underwire, though the u-shaped bit in the middle does, but it’s still comfy enough to wear all day. I’m a 38DD and find it supportive without wire under the cups, but some might prefer a bra with a bit more structure. This bra gives a really smooth silhouette, and while I personally like a little more padding in a bra for extra shape, finding one that truly stays invisible under my clothes means I'm more than happy to have a little less, since it does exactly what I wanted."

Plus, this bra has side sling support that helps keep your boobs forward-facing, often a drawback of some bras. This bra gives you a natural, unpadded shape that simply disappears under tops, with five colours available to choose from. Customers say it fits well, is supportive and is comfortable to wear.  

Commercial Content Editor, :aEleanor Weaver{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/eleanor-weaver/' }, says: "My favourite style of bra is balconette, and after being fitted by the Bravissimo team, I found this bra to be extremely comfortable. This bra not only makes me feel well supported AND sexy - not something I can say for all bras - but it's also one I don't feel the need to rip off at the end of the day. My favourite feature of all is the side supports. I'm so used to underwires digging in, but this was one bra I could put on and forget about - dreamy."

With a choice of band sizes and multi-size cups, ranging from A-D or :aDD-F and FF-G in the fuller bust range{href='https&#x3A;//lemonadedolls.com/products/signature-lace-fuller-cup-bralette-light-pink' target='\_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'}, the bras are comfy too. With a bralette design and a gorgeous range of colours, each bra is made of the brand's signature soft stretch lace and reinforced with power mes to lift and hold your boobs in place.  

Commercial Content Editor, :aEleanor Weaver{href='https&#x3A;//closeronline.co.uk/author/eleanor-weaver/' }, says: "I tried the fuller bust signature lace bra and found it was the perfect everyday bra, especially for those days when I'm working from home or running errands where the thought of underwires haunt me. It's a gorgeous bra, with its pretty lace detail and contrasting elastic underband that firmly held in place. I normally don't trust a bralette to lift my FF boobs, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really appreciated that on the fuller bust sizes, you do also get double-width adjustable straps and a four-row hook and eye closure for that extra hold. My only word of advice; go for your normal size. I sometimes downsize on bralettes to help achieve that lift but these bras are true-to-size - if you do that with this bra, the girls will be spilling out!"

With thousands of reviews and counting, this bra adds some aesthetic appeal with its mesh-style, full coverage cups decorated with luxurious floral details. One fan of the bra stated that the Tango bra has been their firm favourite for the last 10 years. But, despite giving off a sexy vibe, this bra is also totally practical, too. Coming in six different colours and designs, it features a firmer, non-stretch rigid cup to provide further support, accommodating E cups to K cups.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Earlier this month, ITV bosses confirmed the cast for <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/series-19/">series 19</a> of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/">The Real Housewives of Cheshire</a> – including which Housewives were returning as full-time cast members and which would be back as 'guests' or 'friends'.</p>
<p>The update came with plenty of shock changes, including the news that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/lystra-adams-leaving/">Lystra Adams</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/ell-egar-leaving/">Ell Egar</a> had stepped down to 'guest' status, and the (equally dramatic) reveal that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/dawn-ward-series-19/">Dawn Ward</a> would be returning as a guest after coming back for last year's ten-year anniversary series.</p>
<p>Fans also learned that guest Housewife <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/ampika-pickston/">Ampika Pickston</a> is making a comeback as a full-time Housewife for the new series (which launches Tuesday 21 April) after joining the show as an an OG back in 2015 and stepping down in 2017 – before joining again as a 'guest' in 2023.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/the_real_housewives_of_cheshire_sr19_02-1-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Ampika is back' /><p>Yes, Ampika is returning to the series that made her a household name in a full-time capacity – and fans are expected to get an insight into her <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/ampika-pickston-billionaire-fiance-wedding/">marriage plans with billionaire David Sullivan</a> this series.</p>
<p>While filming has now wrapped on series 19, Ampika continues to give fans what they want by giving her 244,000 Instagram followers an insight into her hen do, which she is currently celebrating – and, more importantly, which Housewives got an invite.</p>
<p>Sharing a video of herself and her OG co-stars <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/lauren-simon-real-housewives-cheshire/">Lauren Simon</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/tanya-bardsley/">Tanya Bardsley</a> inside a helicopter (so Cheshire), Ampika said, 'Unfortunately, we couldn’t do a beautiful picture before we got inside the helicopter, but here we are, having a lovely time, aren’t we? So this is the start of the hen do. This is going to be absolutely magical. Do you know why? Because it’s all about me!'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2024/10/lauren-and-tanya-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Lauren Simon and Tanya Bardsley at the National Television Awards last month' /><p>Iconic. What's even more iconic, however, is Lauren and Tanya moaning about feeling wet and hungover inside the helicopter.</p>
<p>Ampika captioned the video, 'My hen do with my besties' – and this totally makes sense. The trio have been part of the franchise since day dot, and we have to say: if we were going to recruit any two Cheshire Housewives to ensure we had the hen do of a lifetime, it would be Lauren and Tanya.</p>

It’s said he proposed on her 40th birthday with an 11½-carat, emerald-cut engagement ring, and a source close to the pair revealed that Ampika 'said yes straightaway'.</p>
<p>Ampika told show bosses, 'It's going to be a very quiet, discreet affair in London. David doesn't want a circus or paparazzi. He just wants to enjoy the day with no pressure. It's about that symbolic moment of two people coming together to show their love.'</p>
<p>She continued, 'We're quite private people. I know that sounds a bit tongue-in-cheek when you're on a reality show, but our circle is very tight and we’re selective about who we spend time with. We actually spend a lot of time just the two of us.</p>

We've got everything at home: tennis courts, a swimming pool, a bowling alley, a cinema room. We’re happy just being in each other's company. We kind of cocoon ourselves away from the outside world and have a lot of intimate time together that people don’t really see.'</p>
<p>The iconic Housewife added, 'We're not big party people. Everything is quite insular - we're each other's best friend - and we don’t really need much else.'</p>
<p>Long may she reign.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2023/03/TOWIE-Harry-Dani-holiday-boat.jpg?q=80' alt='Harry and Dani' /><p>From <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert-toby-aromolaran-problems/">chatting about her romance</a> with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a>'s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/toby-aromolaran/">Toby Aromolaran</a>, who she met during their <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/celebrity-ex-on-the-beach-2026/">Celebrity Ex on the Beach</a> stint, to the JUICY news series of TOWIE, Dani's first podcast appearance was brimming with hot goss.</p>
<p>She also touched on her Essex co-stars, including <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid Ahmed</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry Derbidge</a> who have been feuding FOREVER. Well, ever since Junaid snogged Harry's (now ex) boyfriend <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe Blackman</a>behind his back, and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/junaid-ahmed-joe-blackman-moving-in/">moved in with him, that is</a>.</p>
<p>'They’ve cleared the air,' she said on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQkOxl5DyVg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Not My Bagg</a> podcast, before adding, 'He’s a better person than me.'</p>

<p>Truly an understatement of the century, the drama between the three of them went on for several seasons (unsurprising of course) and caused a massive cast divide.</p>
<p>'They’re in a good place,' Dani confirmed and it seems she means literally as well as metaphorically, at least if Harry's Instagram is anything to go by. Ahead of the news series, which will be gracing our screens on Sunday 26 April, Harry has posted an Instagram Story with his new house keys along with the caption, 'New Chapter❤️🔑🏡.'</p>
<p>Harry celebrated the first night in his new home in what we declare the correct way; by ordering a takeaway pizza.</p>

<p>Dani also revealed that there are some <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert-cast-feud/">major feuds in the new series</a>, and some fall outs that will have viewers shocked.</p>
<p>'This series on TOWIE was a different experience for me,' she admitted to Joe Bagg, 'arguments with friends, there was so much drama in Vietnam.'</p>
<p>We just hope she doesn't fall out with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a>, again, we hated that era of TOWIE when the two <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/ella-rae-wise-dani-imbert-junaid-ahmed-feud/">girlies were feuding</a>.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Spring is finally starting to show off a bit, and with brighter mornings and slightly less “do I really have to leave the house?” weather, there’s an all-round renewed urge to move more and get outside. And what better excuse to refresh our activewear than a kit that actually makes us excited to get outdoors?</p>
<p>Enter the high-street hero: Marks &#x26; Spencer. Their GoodMove range is quietly becoming a go-to for feel-good, affordable and functional fitness style, and it’s easy to see why. Designed with movement, comfort and everyday wear in mind, it strikes that perfect balance between performance and polish.</p>
<p>Right now, we’ve got our eye firmly on the <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/go-discover-stormwear-high-waisted-leggings/p/clp60727257?color=DARKOLIVE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Go Discover Stormwear Walking Leggings, £36</a>. Designed with unpredictable spring weather in mind, these leggings are made for exactly those in-between days when you’re not quite sure if it’s sunshine or showers.</p>
<p>The standout Stormwear™ technology gives them a water-resistant finish, helping light rain simply bead off the fabric, while still keeping things lightweight and breathable enough for long walks, hikes, and everyday movement. Add in the stretchy performance fabric and high-waisted fit, and you’ve got a pair that feels secure, flattering, and easy to wear all day long.</p>
<p>Practical details are where they really shine. There’s a secure side pocket that’s perfect for your phone or keys, plus thoughtful design touches like flat seams for comfort and a fit that moves with you rather than against you. They’re built for real-life activity - whether that’s a countryside walk, a dog stroll, or a spontaneous “let’s do 10,000 steps” kind of day.</p>
<p>What makes them even better is how effortlessly they slot into your spring wardrobe. Throw them on with a lightweight jacket and trainers for an easy off-duty look, or layer them under a hoodie for cooler mornings. Shoppers have been singing their praises too, saying, "These are so comfortable, they do not slide down, they are not baggy and they wash like a dream. I much prefer these to walking trousers."</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Goodmove-leggings-other-colours.jpg?q=80' alt='Goodmove leggings other colours' /><p>Want to give them a proper test run? The Red Bull Spring Edition challenge is the perfect excuse. Encouraging everyone to get outdoors, it’s a fun way to stay motivated – whether you’re smashing your running goals, heading out on a hike, or just getting your steps in after work.</p>
<p>In short: practical, flattering, weather-ready, and endlessly wearable, M&#x26;S’ Stormwear leggings are a spring essential that make getting outside feel that little bit easier - and a lot more stylish.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It’s officially spring, which means it’s time to get a spring in our step - and if there’s ever a moment to refresh your outerwear, this is it. Longer days and slightly brighter forecasts (with the usual UK curveballs) call for a jacket that can keep up without overcomplicating things.</p>
<p>Enter M&#x26;S, the high-street favourite that continues to get activewear right with its GoodMove range. It’s all about functional pieces that don’t feel overly “sporty”, and the <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/stormwear-hooded-jacket/p/clp60775649?color=SOFTGREEN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Stormwear Hooded Jacket</a> is a perfect example of that sweet spot between practical and polished.</p>
<p>Designed for those in-between days when the weather can’t quite commit, this jacket is lightweight, easy to wear, and built with M&#x26;S’ Stormwear™ finish to help repel light rain on the go. So instead of soaking in during sudden showers, moisture simply beads off the fabric - ideal for those walks where the forecast didn’t quite get the memo.</p>
<p>It’s also thoughtfully designed for movement. A breathable back vent helps keep things airy when you’re on the go, while the adjustable hood gives you a bit of extra protection when the wind picks up. The fit is relaxed enough to layer comfortably over leggings, hoodies or lightweight knits, making it an easy grab-and-go option for busy days outside.</p>
<p>Sitting at £55, it feels like one of those rare high-street finds that genuinely over-delivers. You’re getting performance features you’d usually expect from more expensive outdoor brands, but in a piece that still looks polished enough for everyday wear. It’s that sweet spot M&#x26;S does so well - affordable, but still premium-feeling.</p>
<p>Little details make a big difference too. Secure zip pockets mean your essentials stay safe while you’re out and about, and the overall design keeps things streamlined and unfussy. This means no bulk, no stiffness, just a jacket that does its job quietly well.</p>
<p>And perhaps best of all, it doesn’t just perform well - it looks the part too. With its clean lines and soft, wearable colour options – we are obsessed with the pastel green shade - it slips seamlessly into your everyday wardrobe. It’s one of those rare pieces that works just as well on a countryside walk as it does on a coffee run or commute.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Goodmove-waterproof-nightshade.jpg?q=80' alt='Goodmove waterproof nightshade' /><p>With extra motivation in the air thanks to Red Bull’s Spring Edition challenge encouraging everyone to get outdoors, this is exactly the kind of jacket that makes saying “yes” to a last-minute walk or hike feel easy. Especially when paired with your go-to leggings, it becomes part of that effortless, throw-on-and-go spring uniform.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Regular Closer readers will know that 2026 has hardly been an easy year if you're a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/">Strictly Come Dancing</a> professional. While cast shake-ups aren’t exactly new to the hit BBC dancing show, they've never been dubbed a 'blood bath' until now...</p>
<p>Since hosts <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/why-tess-claudia-left/">Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly left the show</a> late last year, two major things have dominated the Strictly chat: first, endless speculation over which new double act will replace them; second, a wave of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/strictly-come-dancing-dancers-professionals/">professional dancers</a> exiting the series – <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/why-the-professional-dancers-fear-show-is-ruined/">reportedly as part of a push to attract a more modern, younger audience</a> (though that remains unconfirmed).</p>
<p>Remember the days when we spent all our time wondering which <em>celebs</em> would be taking part?</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/strictly-pros.jpg?q=80' alt='Fears are growing backstage amongst the remaining Strictly pros' /><p>So far, show legends <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/karen-hauer-strictly-come-dancing/">Karen Hauer</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/nadiya-bychkova-strictly-come-dancing/">Nadiya Bychkova</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/luba-mushtuk/">Luba Mushtuk</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/michelle-tsiakkas/">Michelle Tsiakkas</a> have all officially left the show ahead of the 2026 series, with the axe of fate still hanging over several others – including fan favourite <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/gorka-marquez/">Gorka Márquez</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/gemma-atkinson-gorka-marquez-strictly-axe/">allegedly</a>.</p>
<p>But how are the remaining pros coping amid one of the show’s biggest ever shake-ups? Well, from the look of things, they don't have time to sit around worrying – because rehearsals for the upcoming tour are well and truly underway.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Julian-Caillon-and-cast-of-Strictly-Come-Dancing-The-Professionals-TourCredit-Johan-Persson-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='' /><p>And show bosses have shared snaps of ten Strictly professional dancers rehearsing for the upcoming Strictly The Professionals UK Tour (which takes place between 29 April and 30 May).</p>
<p>The photos show <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/julian-caillon/">Julian Caillon</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/vito-coppola/">Vito Coppola</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/neil-jones-strictly-come-dancing/">Neil Jones</a>, Gorka, Luba, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/lauren-oakley/">Lauren Oakley</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/jowita-pryzstal/">Jowita Przystał</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/alexis-warr/">Alexis Warr</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/kai-widdrington-strictly-come-dancing/">Kai Widdrington</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/nancy-xu-strictly-come-dancing/">Nancy Xu</a> working up a sweat – but we can't help noticing Karen, Nadiya and Michelle are all missing from the snaps (<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/michelle-tsiakkas-quits-tour/">more on why Michelle quit the tour here</a>).

<p>If nothing else, the tour could be a telling clue about who's still in favour behind the scenes.</p>

The audiences should be ready to have a fantastic time when they come to watch us across the UK because we are going to give them our best performance.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>The 2026 series of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/celebrity-ex-on-the-beach-2026/">Celebrity Ex on the Beach</a> is currently in full swing with the most random mix of famous faces taking part in the dating show. The likes of Corrie actress Helen Flanagan, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> hunk <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/toby-aromolaran/">Toby Aromolaran</a> and one half of Jedward, John Grimes, are all holidaying with their exes.</p>
<p>Talking of Toby, the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-season-seven/">series 7</a> Islander took full advantage of his Tenerife full board vacation as he struck up a romance with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> girlie, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a>. But it turns out it's not been smooth sailing for the two reality TV stars and during her first ever podcast appeared, Dani spilled all the tea.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/CEOTB-promo-2.jpg?q=80' alt='The cast of CEOTB' /><p>'This was one of our many problems,' she confessed when chatting to Joe Bagg on the Not My Bagg podcast about Toby, 'I never really knew if I was coming or going with Toby.'</p>
<p>The comment comes after Joe revealed a conversation between Dani and Toby where she asked him, on CEOTB, if he would rekindle a relationship with any of his exes.</p>
<p>'Depends who it is,' Toby told Dani, which is not exactly the response you want from someone you're getting to know romantically, is it?</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/ceotb-cast-event-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Cast of CEOTB' /><p>'Not much changes throughout,' she admitted, 'one day we would be amazing, the next we wouldn’t even speak.'</p>
<p>That doesn't sound like the most promising start to a love affair, we must confess, which now has us worried Toby won't be making a TOWIE cameo <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/toby-aromolaran/">anytime soon as we had once hoped.</a></p>
<p>'So you can imagine what that was probably like,' she declared before adding, 'he’s quite a confusing soul.'</p>

<p>'Loveliest boy ever but quite a confusing man,' Dani added and we can't work out whether that means they're still together or if it was never going to work.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Their almost eight-year marriage was plagued by split rumours at the end of last year, owing to their ‘separating careers’ and them seemingly spending more time apart. And after <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/vogue-williams-everything-need-to-know/">Vogue Williams</a> and Spencer Matthews seemed the picture of happiness in St. Barts during an Easter getaway, sources say that the couple have overcome a lot behind closed doors. And now they've annouced they're having another baby.</p>
<p>Sharing the news on Instagram, Vogue wrote, 'BABY NUMBER 4 INCOMING… ❤️🥰❤️' alongside a series of snaps of the family in 'paradise'.</p>
<p>Prior to the announcement, an insider close to the couple – parents to Theodore, seven, Gigi, five, and Otto, who turns four this month – told Closer, ‘They feel they’ve come out of the tough times stronger and love the family life they have together. They are determined to give their children a steady and loving upbringing. They’ve been talking about having another baby – they’d both love another girl. They know the strain a baby can put a marriage under but they want to keep their options open.’</p>
<p>Vogue, 40 – who was previously married to Westlife’s Brian McFadden – revealed to <a href="https://heatworld.com/">heat</a> last summer that she and Spencer hadn’t ruled out expanding their brood.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/shutterstock_editorial_16004383ax.jpg?q=80' alt='Vogue took part in I'm a Celeb in 2025' /><p>Asked whether they would have more children, she replied, ‘Maybe, I don’t know. If we had one more, it would be great, if we had no more, it would also be great.’</p>
<p>Just four months later, it was rumoured that she and former Made In Chelsea lothario Spencer, 37, had hit a rocky patch. At the time, Irish presenter <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/im-a-celeb-vogue-williams-fitness/">Vogue was about to take on I’m A Celebrity</a>, while Spencer was tackling Project Se7vn - seven Ironman-distance triathlons.</p>
<p>Vogue rubbished split speculation at the time, writing, ‘It’s with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up! I usually avoid addressing baseless and cruel rumours, but this just keeps coming up.’</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>But Spencer admitted to a ‘sense of competition’ between him and Irish presenter Vogue, 40, during a recent podcast appearance. After labelling his wife an ‘incredible woman’ and the ‘favourite of the two of us’, Spencer admitted that when they were ‘doing similar stuff’ in their careers – they had a self-titled reality show in 2019 and he stepped away from their podcast last January – it was a ‘kick in the teeth’ if the other landed a coveted job.</p>
<p>He said, ‘If you're in a competitive scenario with your partner it can be a bit grating.’</p>
<p>‘Vogue would be mortified if she went through<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/vogue-williams-divorce/">another divorce</a> and Spencer loves her and their family stability,’ the source now says.</p>
<p>‘However, there’s no denying things have been challenging recently. Spencer’s always been used to being number one and having everything his way. He’s learning to compromise now that Vogue is a big star in her own right. They’re both determined to make the marriage work going forward.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Spring has officially sprung - and so has our attempt to ditch those neutral, dark colours and the never-ending 'extra layers' we wear in the winter. With lighter days and longer evenings ahead, we're now in the mood for lightweight <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-spring-jackets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spring jackets</a>, pastel colours, and, of course, lots of dopamine dressing. However, there's one piece that will instantly inject a touch of playfulness into your SS26 wardrobe, and that's striped trousers.</p>
<p>If you think you've seen the classic nautical blue and white striped trousers before, this time, the trend has more of a contemporary feel to it, using bolder hues and more oversized stripes. Although pinstripes will always have a place in our wardrobe, the more striking the stripe, the better.</p>
<p>Wondering how to style striped trousers? Well, the key to making them work for you is to let the trousers do the talking and let them be the main event. So if you would count yourself as a more minimalistic dresser, maybe opt for a striped trouser in a more muted, pastel tone.</p>
<p>For the office, team them with a crisp white shirt, white trainers or loafers and a chic pair of sunnies. If you're on your holidays, wear them with a white tank or t-shirt, sandals, and a crochet-style beach bag for an easy breezy, yet chic outfit.</p>
<p>However, if you want to embrace bright colourways, try pairing them with similar-toned basics for that stylish monochrome Euro-summer ensemble. Equally, if you want to tone them down, pair them with any cream or white top, and a pair of white trainers or sandals - it's simply chef's kiss.</p>
<p>So, if you like the sound of an alternative trouser to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-barrel-leg-jeans/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">jeans</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-linen-trousers/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">linen trousers</a> this summer, we've handpicked a selection of striped trousers for you to try this spring/summer below.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>There’s just days to go until series 37 of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> hits our screens and, frankly, we couldn’t be more excited.</p>
<p>A recently released teaser trailer hints at drama ahead for the likes of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy Jay</a>, while there’s also three new arrivals and an unexpected reconciliation between <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid Ahmed</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry Derbidge</a>. Bring it on, tbh.</p>
<p>But even though <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">series 37</a> hasn’t even started yet, we’ve already seemingly got confirmation that series 38 is on the way after <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a> spilled the tea in a new interview.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/10/dani-towie.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE's Dani Imbert' /><p>Speaking to Joe Baggs on the latest episode of the Not My Bagg podcast, Dani let slip that the TOWIE cast start filming again in a matter of weeks and they’ll be jetting off again for another away trip. It’s alright for some, eh?</p>
<p>‘Back to filming TOWIE in May, so this break was really short,’ the reality star explained.</p>
<p>‘We only had like a month and a half off, we usually have about three months.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/towie-elma-dani.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE's Elma Pazar and Dani Imbert' /><p>Dani continued, ‘We’ll be back to filming and it will be another away trip, not sure where we’re going yet. The chaos continues.’</p>
<p>Firstly, we’re so here for this – we’d have TOWIE on our screens all year round if we could – but we can’t help but think that show bosses probably didn’t expect Dani to spill the filming schedule on a podcast as it’s usually kept under wraps.</p>
<p>The Only Way is Essex isn’t the only show that Dani is appearing on at the moment as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/celebrity-ex-on-the-beach-2026/">Celebrity Ex on the Beach</a> is currently airing after being filmed in Tenerife at the end of last year.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/dani-imbert-celebrity-ex-on-the-beach.jpg?q=80' alt='Dani Imbert' /><p>Not only has Dani struck up a romance with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a>’s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/toby-aromolaran/">Toby Aromolaran</a> on the dating show, but she also came face-to-face with her ex <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/reiss-boyce-adult-panto/">Reiss Boyce</a> for the first time since they split when he left to film Married At First Sight UK without telling her.</p>
<p>Speaking about <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert-reiss-boyce-relationship/">their on-screen reunion</a> during her podcast appearance, Dani said, ‘Him coming out [of the sea] was a traumatic moment for me. I could not breathe.'</p>
<p>Explaining why they split, she added, ‘This boy likes the fact that he's in articles, taken an interest in TV... I don't want that.'</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It’s fair to say that going on <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2026/">All Stars</a> is a bit of a gamble if you’re a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> star; there’s a small chance you’ll go on and completely turn your public image around (new nation’s sweetheart vibes), there’s a bigger chance you’ll turn your average Islander status on its head and have fans hating on you overnight (don’t hate, it’s Love Island), but the most likely outcome is that you’ll exit the South African villa with a slightly improved reputation and a few more followers… and face fame highs and lows back in the UK.</p>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2024/">Love Island 2024</a> star turned Love Island All Stars 2026 OG - and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-lucinda-strafford/">Lucinda Strafford</a>’s boyfriend - <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/sean-stone/">Sean Stone</a> definitely falls into that latter category, because in the past few days alone he’s seemingly been 'in tears', faced headlines about <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/lucinda-strafford-cheating-sean-stone-drama/">his girlfriend’s alleged Coachella 'cheating'</a>, and then faced chatter about him going on a 'princess' date with some blue tick.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/love_island_all_stars_sr3_ep13_040.jpg?q=80' alt='Sean' /><p>Calm down, everyone. It’s not a Netflix thriller – it’s just three separate posts getting stitched together into the already chaotic Love Island narrative.</p>
<p>Allow us to explain… and then allow you to accuse us of clickbait, when really we’re just here doing our jobs.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/LI-AS-Lucinda-Sean-phone-shock-1.jpg?q=80' alt='Lucinda and Sean' /><p>Let’s start with the 'crying'. Sean wasn’t posting a cryptic, tear-streaked selfie or staging a dramatic heartbreak montage amid all this Lucinda ambiguity – he was watching Arsenal and uploaded an Instagram Story saying, 'Please don’t make me cry' earlier this week. Which football fans assure us was justified.</p>
<p>Then there are the 'cheating' rumours, sparked after Lucinda was accused of being a little too cosy at Coachella. The clip doing the rounds showed her on the shoulders of another man while watching Justin Bieber – the kind of thing that looks chaotic out of context and, in context, is still quite chaotic… just not in the scandalous way some Love Island fans were hoping for.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/LI-AS-Lucinda-shock.jpg?q=80' alt='Lucinda' /><p>Lucinda quickly addressed it in a GRWM TikTok, saying, 'I woke up to drama on TikTok. People thought that I cheated on Sean because I was on someone’s shoulders. Guys, that was literally my hairstylist. I honestly had no idea how it looked until I looked at my comments this morning.' So, not a mystery man, just a man with mousse.</p>
<p>And while all that was bubbling away online, Sean shared he was on a 'princess' date with a blue tick – only it wasn’t a secret celeb romance in response to alleged festival frolicking. It was a Subway run with his Love Island bestie <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/harrison-solomon/">Harrison Solomon</a> (and then shared by Sean), who captioned the post, 'Subway date with pookie princess.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/harrison-hl.jpg?q=80' alt='Harrison' /><p>So how are Sean and Lucinda doing right now? From what they’re showing publicly: no sobbing breakdown, no Coachella betrayal, and no fairytale love triangle – just a football moment, a misunderstood TikTok, and a bromance held together by wet bread.</p>
<h2>WATCH: This year's Love Island All Stars has been quite the rollercoaster ride, hasn't it? Here are some of the most emotional moments of the series that had the Islanders - and us - in tears 😢</h2>

From A-list celebs to influencers and fashion insiders, the iconic sportswear brand has become the go-to label for off-duty style. And now, they’ve teamed up once again with our favourite online shopping destination, <a href="https://www.asos.com/women/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">ASOS</a>, to launch a new collection packed with trending pieces destined to go viral.</p>
<p>The range follows <a>Molly Mae‘s recent collab</a>){href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/molly-mae-adidas-collection/)" target='_blank' rel='noreferrer noopener nofollow'} (who could forget the matcha VS latte chat?), which sold out in record time, as well as the <a href="https://www.asos.com/adidas-originals/adidas-originals-satin-polka-dots-set-in-blue/grp/210680496#colourWayId-210588176&#x26;productId-210588166" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">polka dot trackies</a> that were spotted on almost every influencer’s feed. And of course, we have to give an honourable mention to the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-adidas-samba-dupes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Adidas Sambas</a> that are living in almost all of our wardrobes right now.</p>
<p>But we’re predicting that the latest ASOS X Adidas Original collaboration could be the brand’s most viral drop to date. Leading the hype? It has got to be the <a href="https://www.asos.com/adidas-originals-x-asos/adidas-originals-x-asos-polka-dot-track-set-in-stone/grp/210751383#colourWayId-210173471" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">polka dot co-ord,</a> which we’re tipping to be a sell-out thanks to the oh-so-stylish peplum jacket.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Adidas-X-ASOS-polka-dot-tracksuit-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='adidas/ asos collab' /><p>While the first two ASOS X Adidas Original collections leaned into those classic staples we all know and love, this third drop feels bolder, fresher and more fashion-forward. Think luxe-looking separates with those three classic stripes, polka-dot prints, and retro balloon-style trousers. Essentially, each item is a shortcut to mastering some of spring’s biggest trends, but with added comfort, and of course, that ‘cool-girl’ energy.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>They may have been engaged for seven years, but <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/lucy-mecklenburgh/">Lucy Mecklenburgh</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ryan-thomas-lucy-mecklenburgh-future-children/">Ryan Thomas</a> are not rushing to the altar.</p>
<p>Ryan, 41, proposed to Lucy, 34, in Italy in 2019 – and with wedding plans still on pause, an insider claims the former <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> star’s desire for financial independence could be the reason.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Lucy-M.jpg?q=80' alt='lucy mecklenburgh' /><p>‘As much as Lucy would love the fairytale, the wedding, the name and that picture-perfect family unit, she’s realistic about what matters long term. Financial security outweighs the romance for her, especially with children involved,’ the source says.</p>
<p>Soap actor Ryan has had his share of financial woes, filing for bankruptcy in 2013 despite making a six-figure salary from his time on Corrie. More recently, reports claimed that his company, R James Thomas Ltd – which handles income from his TV projects and endorsement deals – was left showing a balance of just £1 in its accounts.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Lucy-R.jpg?q=80' alt='lucy mecklenburgh and ryan thomas' /><p>Meanwhile, Lucy – who shares Roman, six, and Lilah, four, with her fiancé, and is also a stepmum to his 17-year-old daughter, Scarlett, from his past relationship with Tina O’Brien – has been described as ‘financially literate’.</p>
<p>‘Ryan has admitted to making a lot of mistakes with money and not being financially savvy in the past. As much as Lucy loves him, it wouldn’t be entirely sensible for her to legally bind her finances in with Ryan’s,’ it has been reported.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/family.jpg?q=80' alt='lucy mecklenburgh ryan thomas' /><p>Finances aside, the couple have been through a tumultuous time in their almost decade-long relationship, including cheating rumours, split speculation and public rows. But while they’ve worked through their spats, the wedding delay has continued to raise eyebrows.</p>
<p>And now, the source adds that Lucy feels stuck about the prospect of marriage.</p>
<p>‘She’s torn between her heart and her head because emotionally she’s invested, but practically she’s questioning everything,’ the insider says.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/towie-ella-smile.jpg?q=80' alt='Ella' /><p>At the time, neither Ciaran nor Ella <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/ciaran-davies-ella-rae-wise-dating/">responded to the rumours of their dating</a>, however, the Welsh Islander was recently chatting to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXOTBkHueBQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Capital</a> where he had to guess who said certain comments about him.</p>
<p>'"How's @EllaRaeWise?" I know exactly who that was, that was <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/harrison-solomon/">Harrison [Solomon]</a> in my comments after a video got posted on TikTok of me talking to Ella at the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/celebrity-ex-on-the-beach-2026/">Ex on the Beach</a> event,' he admitted.</p>
<p>Although Ella and Ciaran were spotted together at an event it was in fact his All Stars pal Harrison who really sparked speculation rumours after he openly mentioning Ella on Ciaran's social media.</p>
<p>'That's another I can confirm, we were just chatting,' he explained, 'That was the first time I met her, we just had a polite conversation. There was mutual friends there, she's an absolutely lovely girl.'</p>

<p>Anyone else think that Ciaran and Ella would make the perfect reality TV couple though? They've both had less than successful public romances and are both drop dead gorge and low key lovely.</p>
<p>We might just pretend Ciaran never denied the rumours and go on acting like the TOWIE star and Love Island hottie are set for a summer romance.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Our telly time is being dominated by a few gems right now: <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/gemma-collins-im-a-celeb-return/">I'm a Celeb... South Africa</a> (obsessed with the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/im-a-celeb-gemma-collins-sinitta-feud/">GC and Sinitta rowing</a> over Matron 'Mama' Morton), <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/married-at-first-sight-australia-surgery/">MAFS Australia</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/celebrity-ex-on-the-beach-2026/">Celebrity Ex on the Beach</a>. And we'll be honest, out of all the reality shows we get paid to watch (✌️), Celeb Ex on the Beach has always been very low on our priority list – no shade.</p>
<p>Saying that, the 2026 series of the Paramount+ dating show is turning us around; mainly because it's full of celebs we <em>love</em> like <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/helen-flanagan-relationship-history/">Helen Flanagan</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/toby-aromolaran/">Toby Aromolaran</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-curtis-pritchard/">Curtis Pritchard</a> and OF COURSE, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a>'s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a>.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/dani-imbert-celebrity-ex-on-the-beach.jpg?q=80' alt='Dani Imbert' /><p>Dani especially is giving us everything we need and more from a celebrity dating show stint – including a tell-all podcast interview on Joe Baggs' Not My Bagg podcast (a right of passage in 2026).</p>
<p>And while one of her main exes - <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert-reiss-boyce-married-at-first-sight-uk/">Reiss Boyce</a> from <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/married-at-first-sight/uk-2025/">MAFS 2025</a> - is yet to emerge from the waves on Celeb Ex on the Beach 2026, that hasn't stopped her from spilling all the tea on their upcoming reunion on the podcast, including revealing that he 'sold her down the river' towards the end of their relationship.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/reiss-mafs-uk.jpg?q=80' alt='Reiss Boyce' /><p>The TOWIE star told Joe, 'He's in the trailer, he's in the advert...obviously, Reiss from MAFS. That was like a shock, but then it wasn't because...obviously, he was going to come out for me after everything that happened.'</p>
<p>Speaking of how she felt when she saw him approach her on the beach for the first time, Dani revealed, 'Him coming out [of the sea] was a traumatic moment for me. I could not breathe.'</p>
<p>Then came the real tea; Dani went on to explain the <em>real</em> reason the former couple broke up last summer saying that she felt Reiss was with her for the wrong reasons, admitting 'this boy wants to be in the press.'</p>
<p>Dani said, 'This boy likes the fact that he's in articles, taken an interest in TV... I don't want that.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2268515426.jpg?q=80' alt='Reiss Boyce attends the launch event for new Paramount+ series Celebrity Ex On The Beach' /><p>In a follow-up gag, Dani added that towards the end of their relationship, she and Reiss agreed they would have a 'private relationship' away from the press and then Reiss began getting 'loads of follow requests' from journalists while they were on holiday and she allegedly told him not to accept them because they would put two and two together and figure out they were an item. She's right, and we did.</p>
<p>Dani said, 'The day we flown home, he's posted a string of posts of us on his Story which he never does because this is a private relationship and I've gone on the followers and he's accepted all the journalists. I was like, "Wow, you've accepted journalists... you want to be in the press, babe."'</p>
<p>Dani summarised by saying, 'He sold me down the river.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/TOWIE-Dani-2025-1.jpg?q=80' alt='Dani' /><p>She then found out he was set to film MAFS 2025...</p>
<p>Dani started seeing the Essex-based painter and decorator during her break from Roman Hackett and although things didn't initially work out, as they split in December 2023, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert-boyfriend/">they seemingly rekindled their romance just months later</a> when they went on holiday together. They briefly split again before getting back together for the second time, but things took a turn when Reiss signed up to be a groom on MAFS UK 2025.</p>
<p>He was reportedly <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert-reiss-boyce-married-at-first-sight-uk/">still romantically involved with Dani</a> when he disappeared to film the show. Last year, she told us, 'I mean, he told me he was going travelling, but yeah, he’s married, which is great. I’m happy for him.' If memory serves, there was more than a hint of sarcasm when she said that last part.</p>

Of course, while we were fully invested in the romance and rows, we were just as obsessed with the girls’ iconic Love Island outfits.</p>
<p>Taking to the South African villa this season were former Islanders such as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/millie-court-love-island/">Millie Court</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/belle-hassan-love-island/">Belle Hassan</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/leanne-amaning-love-island/">Leanne Amaning</a>, with more recent faces such as Love Island series 12's <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/helena-ford/">Helena Ford</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/tommy-bradley/">Tommy Bradley</a>. Still, got messy when bombshells entered the villa, bringing twists, trouble, and plenty of triangles. Hint, hint, Villa USA...

<h2>Jump to:</h2>
<p>We kept tabs on all the best Love Island clothes featured in the All Stars villa all season long, from high street buys to designer statement pieces.

<h2>FAQs</h2>
<h2>Where to watch Love Island All Stars?</h2>
<p>Love Island All Stars 2026 returned to our screens on Thursday, 15 January. You can watch the series every single night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. That's a whole lotta Love Island. Saturday airs 'behind the scenes' episodes rather than its regular slot.</p>
<p>This season did include a special Saturday episode that aired during the first week of filming, though, likely to compensate for delays in the production schedule due to wildfires in the area. Usually, All Stars runs for five weeks, but this time it's on for a total of six weeks.</p>
<p>If you've missed all the action of the previous series of Love Island, you can recap on every single episode on ITV’s free streaming service, ITVX. Psst! Wondering <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/tv-movies/how-to-watch-love-island/">how to watch Love Island</a> from anywhere in the world? We've got the scoop on how to do just that.</p>
<h2>Why was Love Island All Stars 2026 delayed?</h2>
<p>Love Island All Stars was set to air on Monday, 12 January 2026, but due to health and safety concerns with ongoing wildfires in the area and evacuation procedures, the start date was pushed back until Thursday. A statement was posted on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/loveisland" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Love Island's Instagram</a> to address this.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>With two mega A-listers for parents, it’s little surprise that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/angelina-jolie-daughter-moves-out/">Shiloh Jolie</a> seems destined for the bright lights.</p>
<p>But her recent surprise cameo in K-pop sensation Dayoung’s latest video for single What’s A Girl To Do has propelled the 19-year-old into the spotlight as she was hailed for her incredible dance skills in a teaser clip which went on to ‘break the internet’.</p>
<p>And while it quickly earned her an army of fans posting rave reviews and picking up on her strong resemblance to her mother, with one writing, ‘The DNA goes crazzzzzy, beautiful girl!’ - there was one viewer in particular who watched in a state of high emotion… dad <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/brad-pitt-legal-war-angelina-jolie-over/">Brad Pitt</a>.</p>
<p>The actor, who has been estranged from his daughter and her siblings since his bitter divorce proceedings from her mother Angelina Jolie, is now said to be pining for a reunion and a chance to heal the past.</p>
<p>An insider tells Closer, ‘It’s so bittersweet for Brad to see Shi’s career taking off, he loves that she’s following her own path and he’s in awe of her talent, but at the same time it’s this crushing reminder that he’s not in her life at all. She’s gone no contact with him to the point of dropping his last name, it’s about as bad as it gets right now.</p>
<p>‘It’s very hard for Brad to come to terms with that, truth be told he really hasn’t. He and Shiloh were so close, she’s the apple of his eye and out of all the kids the one that always had his back. He doesn’t see how that bond can simply evaporate, and he doesn’t believe it has, he’s sure she still loves him and he’s convinced one day she will put down her armour and allow him back in her life. He’s ready and waiting for that moment and will wait as long as it takes, but he’s done trying to force her, he’s allowing her the respect and space to make her own choices as painful as it is.’</p>
<p>Since his marriage to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/angelina-jolie-brad-pitt-toxic-divorce/">Angelina broke down when she filed for divorce</a> 10 years ago, 62-year-old Brad’s relationship with his six children has imploded.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Brad-Pitts-sad-response-to-estranged-daughter-Shiloh-breaking-the-internet.1.jpg?q=80' alt='Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are seen after landing at Los Angeles International Airport with their children, Pax Jolie-Pitt, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Vivienne Jolie-Pitt and Knox Jolie-Pitt' /><p>While the children - Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 17 - have all remained close to their mum, with Pax reportedly living in the Manhattan apartment Angelina bought in her 20s, in 2024 it was reported that Brad and Angelina’s eldest sons, Maddox and Pax, have ‘virtually no contact’ with their dad.</p>
<p>Zahara also introduced herself as ‘Zahara Marley Jolie’ during her college sorority introduction in 2023, with her younger sister Vivienne following suit and dropping the ‘Pitt’ from ‘Vivienne Jolie-Pitt’ when her name appeared in the playbill for 'The Outsider' in 2024. Shiloh is believed to have dropped Pitt from her surname last summer and debuted her name change for the first time when she was listed as ‘Shi Joli’ for her role as choreographer for a dance at a high-end fashion launch held in California.</p>
<p>Brad’s falling out with his kids followed an alleged altercation between Maddox, then just 15, on the family’s private jet just a day before Angelina, now 50, filed for divorce in 2016. The incident was revealed during Brad and Angelina’s dispute over their French vineyard in 2022, when her lawyer alleged that Brad ‘grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her’ before he ‘choked one of the children and struck another in the face’. Brad has denied the allegations and was not charged following a police investigation at the time.</p>
<p>Now, with the couple’s twins set to turn 18 in July - meaning they will be officially independent as legally recognised adults - it’s believed Brad hopes that ending his legal fight with Angelina could eventually lead to a reconciliation with his kids. And, according to our insider, he’s pinning his hopes on Shiloh to help him achieve that.</p>
<p>The insider tells us, ‘Brad's had to completely shift his approach with Shi, he's had no choice. There was a time when he would reach out all the time to try to fix things on his timeline, and that just didn’t work. If anything it pushed her further away, so now he’s taken a big step back and is trying to show her he can respect her boundaries, even if it’s incredibly hard for him.</p>
<p>‘He’s very aware that she’s at an age where she’s figuring out who she is on her own terms, so he’s trying hard not to do anything that makes her feel controlled. As much as this is about repairing things with Shiloh, it's also about fixing things with all his kids because he firmly believes that if she comes around and gives him another chance it will have a ripple effect with the rest of the kids. She’s always been such a strong personality within the family and he sees her as someone who could influence the other kids in a positive way.</p>
<p>‘Of course, if you asked him, then Angelina is the big stumbling block. He 100 percent blames her for the alienation between him and Shiloh, and all his other kids too. He believes that if she stopped her interference, things would improve dramatically. If you ask her though, she will tell you he only has himself to blame. She swears she’s never done anything to turn their kids against him, she insists that their kids have made their minds up all on their own.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Brad-Pitts-sad-response-to-estranged-daughter-Shiloh-breaking-the-internet.jpg?q=80' alt='Brad Pitt (R) and Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt leave the "Mary Poppins" show at the New Amsterdam Theater' /><p>Another source previously told Closer how Brad had placed the blame on Angelina for ‘poisoning’ their kids against him. Speaking last year, the insider claimed, ‘He doesn’t blame the kids, he blames Angelina and has told friends she’s been poisoning them against him for years and painting him as some kind of monster.</p>
<p>He’s devastated that they’ve bought into it and want nothing to do with him. He’s tried everything possible to fix things and nothing has worked and it’s left him very depressed and angry. He never imagined when he and Angelina split up that it would get this ugly. Sure he expected some wrath from her but in his view she’s used their kids as pawns to hurt him.’</p>
<p>However, as Closer reported recently, there are signs that both sides are tiring of the constant battles and – as they gear up for yet another court showdown later this year over their estate – it’s believed that both are getting closer to the idea of calling a truce.</p>
<p>Our insider now says, ‘It’s obviously a very complicated situation but there’s no denying things would probably get a lot better as far as family dynamics if they could resolve this lawsuit situation. As long as that battle is still raging on, it is very hard for anyone to soften. Fact is Shiloh, and all the kids are extremely protective of their mom. If Brad really wants things to improve, he should find a way to settle this court case, and the sooner the better.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>She celebrated her milestone 40th birthday with a lavish bash held at her Cheshire mansion. And sources tell Closer that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/coleen-rooney-holiday-drama-same-mistakes/">Coleen Rooney</a> considered her party to be partly ‘payback’, after her husband of 18 years was caught enjoying a boozy night with two mystery women ahead of the BRIT Awards in February.</p>
<p>An insider says, ‘<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/coleen-rooney-wayne-partying-brits/">Coleen</a> enjoyed having her own wild revenge for her 40th. The instructions were clear from the get-go: this was Coleen’s night. There was no expense spared, and Wayne had no choice but to foot the bill.</p>
<p>‘Coleen was in very high spirits and had an absolute ball with her mates. She invited all of her showbiz friends - it was as big as a wedding. She didn’t get too tipsy - she’s far too sensible - but she was still partying until well after 3am. Coleen was seen living it up with pals like <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/peter-crouch-abbey-clancy-bedroom-miracle/">Abbey Clancy</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/new-strain-annie-kilner-kyle-walker/">Kyle Walker</a>’s wife <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/annie-kilner-struggling/">Annie Kilner</a> - and wasn’t bothering to check on Wayne for most of the night.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Coleen-Wayne.jpg?q=80' alt='coleen and wayne rooney' /><p>Held in a huge marquee in the grounds of the Rooneys’ £20million mansion, guests including Real Housewives of Cheshire stars Leanne Brown and Tanya Bardsley, and Wayne's ex-Manchester United pals Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes arrived in a fleet of fancy cars - with one guest even flown in via helicopter.</p>
<p>A strict no-phone policy was said to be down to Disney+ filming the event, as part of Coleen’s £10million deal with the streaming service.</p>
<p>Irish singer Dermot Kennedy serenaded the crowd, and a lilac-gowned Coleen danced the night away with her pals - reportedly singing so loudly until 3am that they kept the sheep and cows in nearby fields awake with rowdy renditions of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep and Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond.</p>
<p>But it’s no wonder Coleen felt it was her time to let her hair down, as the party came five weeks after Wayne hit headlines at the pre-BRITs party.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Rooneys.jpg?q=80' alt='coleen and wayne rooney' /><p>Photos emerged of the former England captain, 40, at a Manchester hotel, where he was with pop star Calum Scott - and the pair caught the attention of two unnamed women, one of whom was with her boyfriend.</p>
<p>Witnesses described Wayne as looking ‘worse for wear’ after knocking back drinks throughout the evening, and at one point struggled to do up his trousers after a trip to the toilet.</p>
<p>‘It definitely seemed like Coleen was getting her revenge by making it her time to let loose,’ the insider continues. ‘There were some moments where she was getting quite rowdy, but it was all positive and fun. She was laughing with her mates, while Wayne looked a bit sullen.</p>
<p>‘It was very much ‘The Coleen Show’, and she was certainly getting a lot of support and attention. Wayne was on his best behaviour and was trying to keep up with his wife; she was barely paying him attention, while he looked like a lovestruck puppy.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2170810276.jpg?q=80' alt='coleen rooney kids' /><p>Though Wayne’s drunken recent antics seem innocent enough, it’s far from the first time his actions have blighted their 24-year relationship. In 2004, he admitted to paying for three sex workers while dating Coleen.</p>
<p>The pair patched things up and married four years later, but in 2009, Coleen was heartbroken to find out he’d cheated with sex workers Jenny Thompson and Helen Wood.</p>
<p>Again, the Rooneys got back together, but further scandal ensued when Wayne was arrested for drink-driving in a car that belonged to 29-year-old Laura Simpson in 2016; and two years later, he was spotted partying into the early hours with bartender Vicki Rosiek over Super Bowl weekend in Florida. In 2021, Wayne was pictured asleep in a hotel room with Snapchat model Tayler Ryan, and her pals Elise Melvin and Brooke Morgan – though nothing happened between them.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>Opening up last September about ‘struggling massively’ with his past alcohol issues, Wayne - who shares Kai, 16, Kit, 12, Klay, 10, and eight-year-old Cass with his wife - revealed, ‘I honestly believe if Coleen weren’t there, I’d be dead.’</p>
<p>But our source continues, ‘Coleen needed to let off steam, and told a few pals that the party marks a new era for her. Coleen’s not going to let any drama with Wayne affect her anymore. She’s sick of being a parental figure and now she’s 40, she wants to rewrite the rules of their marriage.</p>
<p>‘She wants to bring in new rules that allow her to have more fun and independence outside of being the matriarch at home - and wants Wayne to take on more domestic duties to keep himself out of trouble.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It feels like we have been waiting an eternity for the new series of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a>, perhaps it's because so much has happened since the last season. <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a> apparently <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley-quits-series-37/">stormed out of filming</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/ciaran-davies-ella-rae-wise-dating/">has been linked</a> to a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/ciaran-davies-ella-rae-wise-dating/">Love Island</a> star, and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a> took part in a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/celebrity-ex-on-the-beach-2026/">different reality TV series</a>.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/TOWIE-Promo-2026-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='the cast of TOWIE' /><p>Well, we haven't got to wait much longer as it has been revealed that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-37/">series 37</a> will air later on this month and with the recent trailer revealing a LOT of drama, we can't wait.</p>
<p>One person who can be seen rowing with his co-stars across a coach no less, is Freddie, but apparently he isn't the only one caught in some major feuds.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/freddie-bentley.jpg?q=80' alt='freddie bentley looks surprised' /><p>'There will be plenty of drama, some unexpected feuds and tempers will flare and reach boiling point,' a source told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/38795325/towie-return-date-confirmed-cast-new-series/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Sun</a>.</p>

<p>By the sounds of things, Dani is one of the people caught up in an 'unexpected feud' as she refuses to let people 'slander' her friend.</p>
<p>'When Dani makes it clear she won’t sit through any Freddie-slander, she clashes with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy [Jay]</a>, ending with Dani storming off in fury.</p>
<p>'If you thought the previous cast trips were fiery, then you’re in for a big surprise. Loyalties will be tested and it’s going to be a rollercoaster for some,' the insider added.</p>
<p>Judging from the teaser trailer, it was Livvy that Freddie was having a screaming match with on the bus so this most certainly checks out.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/TOWIE-Dani-2025.jpg?q=80' alt='dani' /><p>The TOWIE landscape is looking very different compared to last spring, after the likes of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/roman-hackett-towie/">Roman Hackett</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/chloe-meadows-towie/">Chloe Meadows</a> as well as Roman's (now ex) girlfriend <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/matilda-draper/">Matilda Draper</a>and his BFF <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/sammy-root/">Sammy Root</a> confirmed they had all <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/roman-hackett-quits/">quit the show</a>, ITV obviously had to scout some fresh blood.</p>
<p>From what we know <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/towie-new-cast/">three newcomers</a>are a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/new-boys-jonnie-joe-gurie-josh-francis/">dead cert,</a> but with so many key TOWIE players leaving the show, we imagine more newbies will soon rock up.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>We love a crossover reality TV romance, so were devastated when <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a>'s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/towie-demi-sims/">Demi Sims</a> split from Made in Chelsea’s Jazz Saunders in December after a whirlwind six-month relationship.</p>
<p>Fast forward to the present day, however, and it looks as though Demi has moved on with <em>another</em> reality star on the other side of the world.</p>
<p>Demi, who starred on TOWIE alongside her sister <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/chloe-sims/">Chloe Sims</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/frankie-sims-towie/">Frankie Sims</a>, is no stranger to an international love affair as she previously dated American Too Hot to Handle star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/demi-sims-girlfriend-francesca-farago-3/">Francesca Farago</a>. However, this time she’s jetted off to Australia to meet up with her new boo and it seems that love is in the air Down Under.</p>

<p>The youngest Sims sibling first dropped a hint about her latest romance over the weekend when she shared a TikTok video of herself on a plane and wrote, 'POV: the flirting got out of hand and now you're going Australia.'</p>
<p>Demi's followers were loving the update on her love life, including best pal Harry Derbidge, who commented, 'You deserve this!! Have the best time xxx,' while another wrote, 'Really hope she's your soul mate 😊.'</p>
<p>Eagle-eyed fans quickly worked out that Demi was flying out to see none other than <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> Australia star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/australia-gabby-mccarthy/">Gabby McCarthy,</a> with one remarking, 'OMG our GC baddie Gabs ❤️ Im so happy for her!

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/gabby-mccarthy-demi-sims.jpg?q=80' alt='Demi Sims and Gabby McCarthy' /><p>Gabby, who rose to fame on the seventh series of Love Island Australia last year, shared glimpses of her time with Demi on social media - including a snap of the Essex girl nuzzling into her neck as they cosied up.</p>
<p>Another post, which was shared on TikTok, showed Demi and Gabby kissing as they enjoyed a romamntic dinner date. Alongside the post, Gabby wrote, 'Life ever since I took "I don't need no man" seriously.' She also added the caption, 'My overseas bae.'</p>
<p>Fans went wild in the comments section, with one writing, 'I have nobody to talk to about this!' Another added, 'PLOT TWIST,' while a third commented, 'This is the best outcome.'</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If you're watching I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! spin-off <a href="https://heatworld.com/entertainment/tv-movies/im-a-celebrity-all-stars/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">I’m A Celeb... South Africa</a>, you'll know it's <em>giving</em>. So much so that we've almost forgiven ITV for scrapping <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/cbb-fights-controversial-moments/">Celebrity Big Brother</a> from it's spring schedule this year.</p>
<p>We have to say, with campmates at war, WILD Bushtucker Trials and Ant and Dec delivering Werk-Room-worthy shade, we're (almost) satisfied. And speaking of campmates at war: let's talk about <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/gemma-collins-im-a-celeb-return/">Gemma Collins</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/sinitta-fillers-new-man/">Sinitta</a> for a sec.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/gemma-sinitta.jpg?q=80' alt='Gemma Collins and Sinitta' /><p>It all started when <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/gemma-collins-slams-sinitta-feud/">the showbiz queens clashed in a conversation about Gemma's Chicago journey on the West End</a> (or lack thereof) in the camp. Basically, the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> legend and the '80s popstar have a very specific overlap: they both have played (or almost played) Mama Morton in the musical.</p>
<p>Gemma infamously pulled out of the role in 2022 due to an 'injury' and Sinitta used the time in camp to question her about the decision – while also telling her that she thought her casting was a 'joke', saying 'When I heard you were going to do it, I thought it was a joke announcement.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2267300568-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Gemma Collins' /><p>When pressed as to why, Sinitta said it was because (we're paraphrasing her explanation here) Gemma had recently been doing something like 'presenting awards and had fallen off a stage', so Sinitta thought of her as 'more of a comedian.'</p>
<p>Gemma, naturally, hit back after being essentially called a 'joke.'</p>
<p>Then, of course, there was all the dramz that went down before the series actually started airing...</p>
<p>Gemma allegedly accused Sinitta of leaking stories about her to the press (if it's true, this would have taken place after Chicago-gate) in scathing messages posted to the cast’s WhatsApp group chat; messages that left Sinitta apparently feeling 'incredibly upset'.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/gemma-sinitta-1.jpg?q=80' alt='Sinitta stars alongside Gemma on the ITV show' /><p>At the time, a TV insider revealed, 'All Stars hasn’t even aired yet, but it’s all been kicking off. Gemma is at the centre of this astonishing new spat.'</p>
<p>The source claimed the whole thing erupted earlier this year, seemingly out of nowhere, with Gemma dropping a message into the group accusing someone of leaking stories about her to the press. Gemma allegedly then went straight for Sinitta. 'A few weeks back, out of nowhere, she dropped a message into the group WhatsApp chat accusing someone of leaking stories about her to the press. And before anyone could even tap out a reply, she accused Sinitta of being the rat,' the insider said told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/38559245/gemma-collins-brands-sinitta-rat-whatsapp-feud/">The Sun</a>.</p>

<p>'It was like <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/rebekah-vardy-coleen-rooney-round-two/">Wagatha Christie</a> all over again. No one in the group could believe what they were reading. No one replied. Basically, it put a massive cloud over what had been a rather jolly group.' The insider added that some of the celebs in the chat rallied round Sinitta, feeling it was unnecessary to make such an accusation in a group setting.</p>
<p>'Poor Sinitta was dumbfounded and incredibly upset at such a scurrilous accusation being made against her – with zero proof,' they added. Oof.</p>
<p>The good-ish news? The drama is said to have simmered down in recent weeks after Gemma and Sinitta came face-to-face at the show’s press launch last month – however, they were at opposite ends of the group snaps.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2265578876.jpg?q=80' alt='At the press launch in London together' /><p>Saying that, separate sources told Closer that there’s no sign of the fallout coming to an end – and Gemma has warned Sinitta not to mess with her.</p>
<p>‘Gemma feels she’s the biggest name on this year’s series of All Stars, but she’s had a nagging feeling that Sinitta had been leaking stories on her. Gemma thinks it’s peculiar that topics of discussion that took place either with Sinitta, or with her around and in close proximity, have ended up in the press. She told Sinitta she should never mess with her,’ the source tells us.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It’s almost been eight years since <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/prince-harry-three-word-confession-meghan-markle/">Prince Harry</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-fury-prince-harry-messages-another-woman/">Meghan Markle</a> said “I do” at St George’s Chapel - triggering a series of events that ultimately led to their departure from royal life, and a now infamous rift that has ripped the royal family apart.</p>
<p>But while Harry and Meghan have been putting on a united front as their anniversary on the May 19 inches closer, we’re told not everyone’s convinced by their enduring love story. In fact, a certain future king is telling anyone who will listen that the writing is on the wall for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.</p>
<p>According to insiders, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/prince-william-queen-camilla-feud/">Prince William</a> is airing his serious doubts over the strength and future of his estranged brother’s marriage. We’re told he believes it’s a case of when – not if – Meghan calls it quits, and when she does, he might just be ready to welcome Harry back into the fold. As far as he’s concerned, Meghan is the “villain” in this sorry story of a family at war – and the only way they’ll recover is if she’s firmly out of the picture.</p>
<p>‘A lot of people assume that William hates his brother, but anyone who knows him will tell you that it’s Meghan he blames for all of this mess,’ says an insider close to the Prince of Wales, who’s been locked in a cold war with his younger brother ever since the latter married Meghan, left the royal fold, moved to the US, and proceeded to lash out against the monarchy in interviews, docuseries and one very bitter memoir.</p>
<p>‘He sees her as the villain – the one who has poisoned things between Harry and the rest of the family. If he felt like he could trust his brother, he’d talk to him and try to get him to come around, but at this stage, all he can do is stand back and wait. He’s sure that, when Harry and Meghan break up – which he believes is going to be sooner, rather than later – he and Harry can get back on track.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Prince-Williams-brutal-verdict-on-Harry-and-Meghan-marriage.1.jpg?q=80' alt='Prince Harry and Meghan attend the swimming medal ceremony during day seven of the Invictus Games Düsseldorf 2023' /><p>By all accounts, William’s long had a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to the Sussexes’ behaviour – despite Harry’s apparent attempts in recent years to repair some of the damage he’s caused. Last September, Harry and Charles met at the King’s London residence – Clarence House – for tea, marking the first time they’d seen each other for 19 months. Despite the meeting being brief, insiders said it suggested a promising step towards ending the stand-off between Harry and the royals.</p>
<p>At the time, as heat told you, William drew a much harder line than Charles, who – as Harry wrote in his memoir – poignantly pleaded with his sons in 2022, amid their crumbling relationship, ‘Please, boys - don’t make my final years a misery.’ He reportedly refused to see the visiting prince, who’d sealed his own fate the moment he decided to break the royal convention to ‘never complain, never explain,’ and instead embarked on a monarchy-bashing campaign. His decision to recount an altercation he and William had – following his and Meghan’s announcement they were stepping down as senior royals – had apparently burnt the last bridge with his outraged sibling.</p>
<p>Now, however, we’re told William’s turning his attention back to what he sees is the source of the problem. It’s no secret that Harry’s attitude towards royal life changed dramatically the moment he met Meghan. At first, both William and his wife, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kate-middleton-horror-sarah-ferguson-revelations-threaten-end-royals/">Kate Middleton</a>, welcomed her into the royal family – with the two couples banding together to represent a new, promising future for the monarchy as the so-called ‘fab four’. But as Meghan’s demands grew, and her desires to go against the grain of royal life got louder, both William and Kate’s enthusiasm for her soured.</p>
<p>From where he’s standing, William sees an ‘opportunist’ who gained a whole lot of fame and fortune as a result of who she married. But after reaping the riches of a pseudo royal life in the US, the time might soon come for Meghan – who shares son Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, with Harry – to move onto pastures new. As heat has previously reported, former actress Meghan’s already got her sights set back on Hollywood, having seen her aspirations to become the next lifestyle guru sour after her Netflix series, As Ever, was cancelled. This could already cause some tension with Harry, who’s far less enthused by the razzmatazz of red carpet life. As our insider tells us, William thinks the pair are ultimately heading for an impasse when it comes to how they want to lead their future lives.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Prince-Williams-brutal-verdict-on-Harry-and-Meghan-marriage.jpg?q=80' alt='Prince William, Catherine, Harry, and Meghan, arrive as the coffin bearing the body of Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II completes its Journey from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall accompanied by King Charles III and other members of the Royal Family' /><p>‘In many ways, William is quite surprised their marriage has lasted this long,’ our source reveals. ‘He genuinely expected that she’d have chewed him up and spit him out by now. Not that he’s changed his tune – he’s still saying it will be over any day now. He believes she’s gotten everything she wanted from his brother, so it’s only a matter of time before he’s of no use to her anymore.</p>
<p>‘It’s a very harsh take on things, but William is unequivocal in his belief that Meghan is nothing but an opportunist. All the Hollywood stuff is another red flag in his view because he doesn't believe for one second that Harry wants to be paraded around the red carpet like a show pony. Sure, it may have been a fun novelty at first, but William knows him well enough to see the discomfort written on his face in all the pictures he's seen.</p>
<p>‘William is convinced that, sooner or later, his brother will have had enough - that is, if Meghan doesn’t toss him to the side first. And, when that happens William will be there to welcome him back, but not a day sooner.’</p>
<p>For the moment, at least, it seems William might be wise not to hold his breath. This month, Harry and Meghan are putting on a united front as they travel to Australia for their ‘pseudo royal tour’ – which – among their engagements - will see Harry speak at a mental health summit, while Meghan will be the headline guest at a ‘Her Best Life’ women’s retreat. In the meantime, Meghan’s been busy curating snapshots of their happy home life in Montecito with their children – something she’s bound to double down on when it comes to their anniversary next month.</p>
<p>Whether it’s all for show remains to be seen. But one thing remains clear: Prince William isn’t buying into their picture-perfect fairytale.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>After being embroiled in several <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-blasts-geri-halliwell-spice-girls-anniversary/">Spice Girls</a> dramas, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-mel-b-feud-explodes/">Mel B</a> spilt the beans on the former girl band’s private WhatsApp chats – where she revealed the women have been candidly discussing the menopause. In her latest interview, Mel B revealed her former bandmates – <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-begs-elton-john-fix-family-drama/">Victoria Beckham</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/geri-halliwell-horner-marriage-agony/">Geri Halliwell</a>, Mel C and Emma Bunton – now have multiple WhatsApp group chats with different members following <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-blasts-geri-halliwell-spice-girls-anniversary/">past fallouts</a>.</p>
<p>Discussing the topics that crop up, the 50-year-old shared, ‘The big thing right now is the menopause, because we’re all going through it. Emma Bunton had this oestrogen gel that she was putting on me.’</p>
<p>But now, insiders say that Mel B’s overshare hasn’t gone down well, with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/geri-horner-victoria-beckham-feud/">Victoria</a> and Geri said to be particularly furious and humiliated over the revelation.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2237247235-1-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Mel B' /><p>An insider says, ‘Mel has always managed to ruffle their feathers with her bold attitude, but some feel she might have taken it a bit too far talking about the girls going through the menopause. Neither Geri nor Victoria have spoken publicly about going through the menopause. It’s a private and personal matter and they’re a bit miffed that Mel is so freely talking about it. It’s caused quite the stir and made it more tense between the other girls.’</p>
<p>While she’s long been vocal about wanting the Wannabe hitmakers back on stage, she’s now striking a more resigned note, admitting, ‘Now I’m 50, I’m not going to be forcing anyone. If you all want to join me on stage, great. If not… I just want to celebrate anyway, because I’m very thankful for being in the position I am. I’ve been a Spice Girl all my life.’</p>
<p>Whispers of a Spice Girls reunion have been swirling for years, with plans for a 30th anniversary comeback reportedly collapsing after the five failed to agree on the details. The group – who last performed together without Victoria during their sold-out 2019 UK and Ireland tour – first shot to fame in 1996, but tensions have long simmered behind the scenes.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-51129356-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Spice Girls' /><p>Relationships between Mel B and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-brooklyn-baby-heal-family-rift/">Victoria</a>, 51, have been notoriously strained, particularly after the fashion designer opted out of the reunion run, while Mel’s on-off feud with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/geri-halliwell-blasts-christian-horner-dont-embarrass-me/">Geri</a> dates back to Ginger Spice’s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/geri-halliwell-mel-b-spice-girls-reunion-feud/">shock 1998 exit</a> over ‘creative differences’ – a decision Mel later admitted left her hurt, saying, ‘It was bad. She left and didn’t tell anybody.’</p>
<p>Things only escalated in recent years, after Mel sensationally claimed the pair once shared a romantic encounter – a claim Geri’s team firmly denied as ‘simply not true’. Rumours of lingering tension resurfaced once again following Mel’s wedding to Rory McPhee last year, which Geri notably did not attend.</p>
<p>‘Usually Mel is quite upbeat and has always been the one encouraging the girls to get together again, but now it seems like she’s given up on playing nice,’ the insider says. ‘The problem is that the five of them have a lot of life experience between them, but Geri and Vic feel that Mel isn’t discreet enough and that she wants to make the reunion all about revealing the dirt and the naughty things they got up to.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>‘It’s all kicking off between them because Geri and Vic no longer feel like they can trust Mel and they want her to stop humiliating them publicly. Mel doesn’t see why they can’t be honest about what they’ve all got up to over the years, but Geri and Vic feel like completely different women to the young girls they were when starting out in the band. They feel there’s a time and place for these conversations, whereas Mel is a lot more free and easy with the past and isn’t so hung up on trying to keep up appearances in the same way as them.’</p>
<p>While Spice Girl Mel C has confirmed there is no 30th anniversary comeback for the girls, she has remained optimistic about the future. ‘We want to do something. Who knows when, but I still feel very optimistic and I keep my fingers crossed that you will see the Spice Girls together at some point in the future,’ she said.</p>
<p>‘Mel C and Emma are doing their best to stay out of it,’ the source continues. ‘They don’t feel embarrassed by any of it and just think that’s Mel being Mel. If anything, Mel C and Emma are sad that it has come to this as they would love to tour and do something special, but it’s got to the point where no one wants to be a referee or stick their neck out. They also don’t want to leave Mel B out of anything as they don’t think it’s fair.’</p>

<p>Lucinda's been enjoying Coachella, like all the other 5000 influencers and reality TV stars who were invited by White Fox, GHD Hair or some other brand. We say 'enjoy' but the TikTok star had to spend her morning addressing claims she cheated on boyfriend Sean, the guy she recently got matching tattoos with.</p>
<p>In what is truly an iconic move, Lucinda decided to talk about the accusations whilst she did a GRWM for her day at the California based music festival because haters might want to ruin her relationship, but she'll be damned if they ruin Coachella.</p>
<p>'I woke up to drama on TikTok, I saw people thought I cheated on Sean because I was on somebody's shoulders, guys it was literally my hair stylist,' she clarified.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/LI-AS-Lucinda-movie-.jpg?q=80' alt='Lucinda' /><p>'Honestly had no idea how it looked until I looked at my comments this morning,' she admitted, 'I've actually been best friends with my hair stylist for about five years now.'</p>
<p>Sean was quick to support Lucinda in the comments section, like any self-respecting boyfriend who trusts his girlfriend does.</p>
<p>'Some people 😅 keep living your best life x,' he wrote with over 20,000 people liking his comment.</p>
<p>Lucinda also declared seeing Justin Bieber was a 'proper pinch me moment' and admitted she 'literally blacked out' and same, hun.</p>
<p>The video in question features Lucinda on a man's (her hairstylist's) shoulders singing along to Justin Bieber but people IMMEDIATELY had questions.</p>
<p>'Who is this man you’re on Lucinda?' one person quizzed with another commenting, 'Stop focusing on the lyrics she’s singing, THAT'S NOT SEAN 😭.'</p>
<p>Others were wondering why Sean didn't also go to Coachella, as though Lucinda can't do anything without her boyfriend. It's 2026, let her live.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Here at Closer Online, we love us some <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/ampika-pickston/">Ampika Pickston</a> (the OG of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/">Real Housewives of Cheshire</a> OGs, who was part of the series one line-up back in 2015) – and obvs we LOVE us a lavish celebrity wedding, too. So you can imagine our excitement when Ampika announced her engagement to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ampika-real-housewives-of-cheshire/">billionaire fiancé David Sullivan</a> back in the summer of 2021.</p>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ampika-pickston-boyfriend/">David – who is 33 years Ampika’s senior</a> – is a Welsh business mogul who once owned half the UK’s adult entertainment industry. It’s said he proposed on her 40th birthday with an 11½-carat, emerald-cut engagement ring, and a source close to the pair revealed Ampika 'said yes straightaway.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2236438873-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='David Sullivan and Ampika Pickston' /><p>But nearly five years on, we’re still waiting for our invite to what’s surely going to be one of the biggest, glitziest showbiz weddings of the decade. 'Cause we're <em>surely</em> getting an invite, Ampika? At least to the evening-do? 👀</p>
<p>Okay, we might still be waiting for our invite in the post, but thankfully, Ampika has finally given fans an update on her wedding plans ahead of the launch of The Real Housewives of Cheshire series 19 (which starts on Tuesday 21 April). And in a surprising Golden Triangle twist, the wedding is going to be 'a very quiet, discreet affair.'</p>
<p>Ampika told show bosses, '[The wedding is] going to be a very quiet, discreet affair in London. David doesn't want a circus or paparazzi. He just wants to enjoy the day with no pressure. It's about that symbolic moment of two people coming together to show their love.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2164822107-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='David Sullivan and Ampika Pickston have been engaged since 2021' /><p>She continued, 'We're quite private people. I know that sounds a bit tongue-in-cheek when you're on a reality show, but our circle is very tight and we're selective about who we spend time with. We actually spend a lot of time just the two of us.</p>
<p>'When I'm in Essex, because I split my time between Cheshire and Essex, we're homebirds. We've got everything at home: tennis courts, a swimming pool, a bowling alley, a cinema room. We're happy just being in each other's company. We kind of cocoon ourselves away from the outside world and have a lot of intimate time together that people don't really see.'</p>
<p>The iconic Housewife added, 'We're not big party people. Everything is quite insular, we're each other's best friend, and we don't really need much else.'</p>
<p>Oh well, here’s hoping we get an insight into some of the low-key (but still surely extravagant?) planning on the latest series given Ampika's return to full-time Housewife status.</p>

<p>And if you’re wondering what those closest to Ampika think about the relationship, her Real Housewives co-star (and friend) <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/ester-dee/">Ester Dee</a> previously had plenty to say when Closer caught up with her back in 2022 — a year after Ampika's engagement. And, in true Ester fashion, she didn’t sugarcoat a thing…</p>
<p>'Yes, money makes your life easier, but it doesn’t make you happy or make you stay with someone,' she said. 'Ampika is a big personality and if David was boring, she wouldn’t stick around – and she definitely wouldn’t be considering marriage either.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2022/01/ester-dee-real-housewives-of-cheshire.jpg?q=80' alt='ester dee real housewives of cheshire' /><p>'She’s been mostly single for many years, so he must charm her and be interesting. Older men can be great company, intelligent, and they like to travel. That aside, she’s probably having hot sex. It’s a myth that older men can’t please you, and Ampika is very adventurous.</p>
<p>'I strongly believe if Ampika wasn’t satisfied in the bedroom, she wouldn’t be going into marriage. She has been waiting for the right person.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/the_real_housewives_of_cheshire_sr19_02-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Ampika Pickston' /><p>So what else can we expect from Ampika this series? On top of planning her wedding, Ampika is apparently bringing a 'seven-year vendetta' to the table in the first episode of series 19…</p>

But gone...
]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Entertainment has always been a big part of the Butlin’s experience. But gone are the days of knobbly-knees competitions and ballroom dancing displays, in 2026 the nights are about jaw-dropping live shows and celebrity headliners.</p>
<p>I visited <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/family/news/butlins-bognor-regis-review/">Butlin’s Bognor Regis</a> in the Easter holidays 2026 with my husband and our two children aged nine and five. We found out what the shows are really like; something to pass the time until the swimming pool opens again? Or worth your time, attention, and the extra charge for an early access pass?</p>
<h2>Evening entertainment at Butlin’s Bognor Regis</h2>
<p>Confession time: my family already love Butlin’s. My little girl celebrated her first birthday there, four years ago now, and my little boy is on his fourth visit. This trip was probably the first one that my five-year-old had the attention span and patience for the evening shows – last year we waited over an hour for the wrestling to start and had to leave ten minutes in – so I was excited to plan our entertainment with the same thought we put into choosing daytime activities like pottery painting and fun football.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/adam-maxted-wrestling-butlins.jpg?q=80' alt='Adam Maxted' /><h2>Maximum Pro Wrestling at Butlin’s</h2>
<p>This was a huge point of interest for me pre-trip. NOT for the oiled-up men (and women) in tiny pants but because the star turn’s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/adam-maxted/">Adam Maxted</a> of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-series-two-where-are-they-now/">Love Island 2016</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2025/">All Stars 2025</a> fame. On my visit, it also featured a bonus – yet somewhat surplus to requirements – <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/chris-hughes-love-island/">Chris Hughes</a> of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2017-cast-where-now-before-after/">Love Island 2017</a> and Celebrity Big Brother 2025, who’s now <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/chris-hughes-jojo-siwa-baby/">dating JoJo Siwa</a>, as co-host.</p>
<p>And it was great. The action started bang on 8pm, last year’s was padded out with some kind of boxing quiz that was not ideal for the kids, and it was silly, pantomime, wrestling fun from the outset. I was genuinely impressed by the acrobatics and strength on display, and my children loved the hero and villain aspect to the show.</p>
<p>We had an early access pass, and that’s essential if you want a ringside seat, or anything near that. The pass allows you to get in 15minutes before the doors open otherwise and if you want the best seat in the house, you’ll need to queue well before that. When we went, people with early access passes had queued from 6:30pm to get a seat at the front. We joined the queue five minutes before early access opened and bagged seats three rows from the front, which I was happy with.</p>
<p>This show’s banging, a strong recommend, the only duff note (for us) was the £20 charge for a photo with Adam and Chris afterwards, with security strictly enforcing the ‘no other photos’ rule. But I guess those Love Island teeth don’t pay for themselves.</p>
<p>Insider tip: queue early and try for an aisle seat if your child would like to high-five the wrestlers.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/masked-singer-live.jpg?q=80' alt='masked singer live at butlin's' /><h2>The Masked Singer live</h2>
<p>This was another highlight. There was no <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/davina-mccall-michael-soulmate/">Davina McCall</a> or Jonathon Ross on the judging panel, alas, bit instead two mega-fan audience members were recruited to try and figure out who’s behind the mask. I’m pretty sure my little girl has never seen the TV show, but she got really into it and was desperate to tell the host her guesses. In fact, the audience interaction really makes this show, with redcoats - accompanied by a camera that beams onto the stage - roaming the seats getting guesses. Shout out to the person who said Mary Berry was in the baby dinosaur (spoiler: it wasn’t her).</p>
<p>Insider tip: bar queues are long so download the B-serve app if you want drinks brought to your seat.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/butlins-pantomime.jpg?q=80' alt='pantomime at butlin's' /><h2>Butlin’s Bognor Regis pantomime review</h2>
<p>You can’t have a pantomime in April. Oh yes, you can. Ahem. Butlin’s production of Jack and the Beanstalk is a punchy hour-long show, with all the panto traditions you’d expect: a multi-costumed dame, boo-able villain, and chart hits. My only criticism is that it’s the same show as we saw last year. Well, as they say in panto land, we’ll have to do it again then, won’t we?</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/05/butlins-skyline-gang-show-copy-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='butlin's skyline gang show' /><h2>Skyline Pavilion shows review</h2>
<p>My little girl (five) is a Skyline gang superfan. And, while we had seen one of the shows before, Beside the Sea, the other show, Imagine That, was new to us. You don’t need to book these shows and can just rock up to the Skyline Pavilion. The standard of dancing, and the performers’ enthusiasm, is great to see. However, I do think it’s a bit rum that the seven Skyline characters, who are meant to be representative of different kinds of kids, are all white. Maybe one for Butlin’s bigwigs to think on.</p>
<h2>Electric City show</h2>
<p>This dance and acrobatics show is an entertaining way to pass an hour and kicked off a Pavlovian response in me to have it large when the troupe danced to Insomnia by Faithless.<br>
Pro tip: this show is loud, bring ear defenders for the kids.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com//?q=80' alt='' /><h2>FAQs About Butlin’s Bognor Regis Shows</h2>
<p><strong>Do you have to pay extra for the shows?</strong></p>
<p>No, the headline shows are included in your break</p>
<p><strong>Do the shows sell out?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, especially during school holidays, so book early via the Butlin’s app.</p>
<p><strong>Is it just for kids?</strong></p>
<p>The evening shows are best suited for primary school age kids and above. All the ones I saw came in at a kid-friendly hour or less.</p>

Chaos was confirmed when the trailer dropped for the upcoming season and now <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a> has spoken out about what we can expect from the series 37 and honestly we have a headache just thinking about it.</p>

<p>'My role on TOWIE - I don't know how it comes to this - I'm the peacemaker,' she began, 'where I'm friends with everyone when there's an argument I'm like "Come on guys" I try and bring people together,' she explained.</p>
<p>That is definitely a fair assessment from recent seasons as despite the likes of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid Ahmed</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> getting caught up in the drama, Dani has been somewhat of a moral compass.</p>
<p>'I don't know what happened this series,' she admitted, 'that kind of went out the window. I'm arguing with everyone, that is out of my character, that is not me.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/TOWIE-Harry-Dani-holiday-boat.jpg?q=80' alt='Dani and Harry' /><p>'This series on TOWIE was a different experience for me,' she told the former Gogglebox star, 'arguments with friends, there was so much drama in Vietnam.'</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>She openly admitted to going under the knife in January 2025 to have an £8k upper blepharoplasty and a brow lift to get rid of saggy skin around her eyes after feeling self-conscious. And just over a year later, ex-Corrie actress Lisa George says she’s still just as thrilled with the results that have transformed her confidence.</p>
<p>‘I hated any close-ups on Corrie,’ she says. ‘My character, Beth, would wear really heavy eyeshadow, and it would all collect in the creases. It was so noticeable and my inner voice would constantly nudge me about it. It took three or four years of harping on about it before taking the plunge. It looked horrific to begin with – the bruises made me look as though I’d been beaten up – but I didn’t feel a thing during surgery, and there’s been no scarring which I’m thrilled about.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/beth-tiner-corrie-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='' /><p>Lisa, 55, who played factory worker Beth Tinker for 13 years on the cobbles, tells Closer, ‘My eyes have opened up so much more, I smile better and even my <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/beauty/best-lengthening-mascaras/">lashes look longer,</a> I’m really pleased with the results and so happy I had it done. It’s common when you’re ageing to see your brows get lower and your eyelids start drooping, but every time I squinted or smiled, my top lid would cover my whole eye. I’d look like I was frowning, and it’d make me feel so down.’</p>
<p>Before having the procedure, which removes excess skin around the eyelids, Lisa admits she couldn’t watch herself on screen.</p>
<p>But not completely content with her looks, Lisa now reveals she’s going one step further and plans to undergo a face lift in order to ‘feel her best’. The star, who appeared in <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dancing-on-ice-2025/">Dancing On Ice</a> back in 2015, explains, ‘I’ve always had a round face, with lots of fat pockets, but as I’ve got older, my jowls have become so heavy. Some people say I’m lucky to have a full face because it’s worse to look gaunt, but at a side profile my chin hangs down and my neck gives away my age really badly. It might sound extreme, but I’ve been to several professionals and they’ve said, “You could have Botox and filler all you want, but it still won’t do what you’re after – you need a lower face lift”, so I’ve decided that’s what I’ll do.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/lisa-george-tom-naylore-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Lisa George and Tom Naylor' /><p>And Lisa admits she’s motivated by the thought of getting better TV roles. ‘<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/denise-richards-surgery-after-divorce/">Denise Richards</a> has just had a face lift and looks beautiful. I remember when Sherrie Hewson had a thread face lift years ago and she looked amazing. So why shouldn’t I? I don’t want to grow old gracefully with great big bags and wrinkles, nor do I want to look scraggy. I want to look nice on screen and there shouldn’t be any shame in it. I’d hate to look at my face and think, “Who the hell is that? Look at the saggy jowl.” I don’t want to be critical anymore and wake up in the morning feeling haggard – I want to look brighter.’</p>
<p>She adds, ‘In the acting world, you get to 50 and then suddenly they think you’re a by-product. I’ve heard of one casting director who didn’t want to see any portfolios from anyone over 30 – it makes my blood boil. Women my age have been through menopause, heartache, divorces, we’re the ones with the tales to tell.’</p>
<p>‘It’s all right for blokes – if they have wrinkles, they’re applauded for looking distinguished!’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/lisa-george-after-surgery.jpg?q=80' alt='Lisa George after surgery' /><p>Meanwhile, Lisa has also undergone a health-driven body overhaul in recent years after going through the menopause, being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and suffering with gut issues, as well as being cruelly body-shamed.</p>
<p>She explains, ‘I started dieting in 2022 and I’ve lost 3 stone. I was never happy with my weight. I’ve had stomach problems and bad gut health for years, so I was always really bloated. I was sick of people telling me how fat I looked. Once, I had a decorator over, and he said, “You look absolutely massive on telly!” I thought, “I’m not employing you again!”’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>She adds, ‘I saw myself on All Star Musicals in 2022, and I thought, “How have I put on so much weight?” I was so ashamed. As soon as I got to my fifties and menopause hit, I just piled it on. Eventually I saw an endocrinologist for my stomach issues, and I was put on a low-FODMAP diet which was restrictive, but it told me what my body was having a reaction to. The weight just fell off. I was so mad with myself that I hadn’t started getting my weight under control earlier. I’ve since put on around 7lbs so I’m being careful with my diet again.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/lisa-george-closer-interview-2026.jpg?q=80' alt='lisa george' /><p>And after departing the cobbles in 2024, Lisa, who is keen to star in period and war dramas, says she’s still in touch with her former Corrie pals. She says, ‘I had a wonderful time at Corrie and made some fabulous friends. I’m still in touch with Cherylee Houston, Ali King, always on the phone to Kate Ford because we used to share a dressing room, and Katie McGlynn. It’s one big family there, I’d never say never to going back!’</p>

And now, sources tell Closer that the new revelation has forced Cheryl to confront a reality she hoped would never come to fruition.</p>
<p>‘Seeing her brother back on the streets has forced Cheryl to face a devastating reality,’ an insider says of the 42-year-old singer.</p>
<p>‘She just thinks it’s such a waste. There’s a lot of sadness there. Not anger, just sadness. She’s watched this play out since they were teenagers, it’s not new, but that doesn’t make it any easier.’</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2245468625-1-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Cheryl' /><p>For years, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/cheryl-reveals-family-secret-triggered-brother-andrew-s-addiction-drink-drugs-crime/">Cheryl’s relationship with her brother Andrew</a> has been clouded by his ongoing struggles. After being left homeless following a relationship breakdown, Andrew – who has racked up 44 convictions, including violent assaults and armed robbery – has battled a series of personal demons. Cheryl has previously opened up about the difficult environment she grew up in, admitting she ‘bottled everything up’ and turned to smoking cannabis aged 13 amid intense peer pressure.</p>
<p>Reflecting on Andrew’s arrest at just 15 – which saw him handed a six-year sentence in a young offenders’ institution for the stabbing of two students – she said, “Part of my childhood was taken away that day too.’</p>
<p>Despite the strain, she has stepped in to try to support him, even funding a £20,000 rehab stint. But any progress has proved hard to maintain, with 45-year-old Andrew admitting, ‘I’m one of those people who takes one step forward and ten steps back every time.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>The difficult news comes just 18 months after the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/liam-payne-never-stopped-loving-cheryl-bear/">tragic passing of her ex-partner Liam Payne</a> – who is father to their 8-year-old son, Bear - after he fell off a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires aged just 31.</p>
<p>‘It’s been one thing after another,’ the insider continues ‘Grief, fear, and now this. Anyone would struggle under that weight. The news about Andrew has brought all of those feelings back to the surface. This isn’t just about where he is physically, it’s what it represents. A lifetime of trying to help someone you love and not being able to change the outcome’.</p>
<p>The source adds, ‘Friends say Cheryl had hoped that 2026 might mark a turning point. Liam’s death hit her incredibly hard and after a period of intense grief she had begun to slowly rebuild her life. She has put everything into being there for her son Bear and trying to regain a sense of normality.’</p>

Not only does a recently released teaser trailer show <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a> clashing with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy Jay</a>, but it’s also been revealed there could be trouble ahead for <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/jodie-wells/">Jodie Wells</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-diags/">Diags</a>. We also know that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley-vietnam-filming/">Freddie quit filming before the series was finished</a> – oh, and that’s before we even get started on <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/new-boys-jonnie-joe-gurie-josh-francis/">the hunky newbies joining the cast</a>.</p>
<p>Ahead of the series premiere, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/lauren-goodger-towie/">Lauren Goodger</a> – the Essex OG who returned to the show in 2024 – has opened up about the cast dynamics, namely who is in group chat and who most definitely isn’t.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/lauren-goodger-towie.jpg?q=80' alt='Lauren Goodger' /><p><em><strong>Obsessed with celeb outfits, lifestyle tips and the latest showbiz news?</strong></em> <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>Click here</em></strong></a> <em><strong>to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</strong></em></p>
<p>In a new interview, Lauren opened up about the cast members she's befriended since rejoining the show two years ago. She explained, 'I’ve been back on the show for two years now. I obviously knew <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe [Blackman]</a>, and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid [Ahmed]</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/amy-childs-towie/">Amy [Childs]</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry [Derbidge]</a>, but I have become quite close with other groups. I feel more involved and more part of it now.</p>
<p>'Even though I am an OG, all the new lot had bonded and I was more the one who would give Joe and Junaid advice. Now I’m filming with everyone because I have genuine friendships and I’m really enjoying it.'</p>
<p>Talk then turned to the group chat, as she continued, 'I have got a girl group of me, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-saffron-lempriere/">Saffron [Lempriere]</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/sophie-kasaei-towie/">Sophie [Kasaei]</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/elma-pazar/">Elma [Pazar]</a> and Amy. And our group chat is for the over 30s. We get out all the old pictures.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/towie-amy-harry-lauren.jpg?q=80' alt='TOWIE's Amy Childs, Harry Derbidge and Lauren Goodger' /><p>Lauren added, 'We try to meet up every week for a bit of lunch while the kids are at school, or a bit of a catch-up or girlie dinner. Elma and Saff are newer friends. Amy and Sophie, I’ve known for years. So that is really nice. I’m close with Joe and Junaid, but it’s really nice to have some girl time too.'</p>
<p>As the group chat is only for the over 30 cast members, this means some of the younger stars like <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a> aren't included.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/LI-2025-cast-festival.jpg?q=80' alt='Love Island cast' /><p>The likes of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/yasmin-pettet/">Yasmin Pettet,</a> <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/conor-phillips/">Connor Philips</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/shakira-khan/">Shakira Khan</a> have all taken full advantage of life after Love Island by venturing to Coachella with brands, being snapped up modeling agencies, working with Rhianna's underwear label Savage x Fenty and becoming TikTok icons.</p>
<p>One person who has remained rather quiet since their controversial stint on the dating show is <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/meg-moore/">Meg Moore</a>, as well as her are they/aren't they bae <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/dejon-noel-williams/">Dejon Noel Williams</a>.

<p>The Islanders can be seen in an episode from series two of At Home With the Fury's and are you just confused as we are?</p>
<p>What multiverse have we stepped into that Meg and Dejon have a less than six degrees connection to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2019-cast-now/">Love Island 2019</a> fan faves, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/molly-mae-hague/">Molly Mae</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/tommy-fury/">Tommy Fury</a>?</p>
<p>Everyone over on TikTok is bemused by their background appearance on the TV series with people asking the same question, 'How are they even friends?'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/The-Furys-2.jpg?q=80' alt='The Furys' /><p>From what we can see they don't even follow each other on social media, but this is the world of reality TV and influencers so perhaps it's a working relationship for them both.</p>
<p>Meg and Dejon <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/meg-moore-dejon-noel-williams-split/">confirmed in December 2025</a>, via social media, that they had broken up but a few months later thy were spotted together.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>She’s starred in some of Hollywood’s biggest movies – and collected a stockpile of awards and nominations along the way. But Emily Blunt says her biggest achievement is doing all of that while defying showbiz odds and maintaining a happy, healthy marriage to her husband of 15 years, John Krasinski.</p>
<p>As the mum-of-two tells Closer, the key is keeping family life as normal and grounded as possible, and making sure that she and fellow movie star John have each other’s backs.</p>
<p>‘We feel like we are each other’s biggest supporters, and that’s such a feeling of comfort,’ she explains.</p>
<p>‘Life is busy with kids and careers – it’s always important to carve out quality time for each other.’</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/emily-blunt-josh-kids-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='emily blunt John Krasinski kids' /><p>For them, that often means eschewing glitzy red carpets for a date night.</p>
<p>‘We both love food, so the ideal date has got to involve food in some capacity!’ she adds.</p>
<p>Emily, 43, first met American actor John, 46, through a mutual friend in 2008 – shortly after ending her ‘complicated’ relationship with Canadian singer Michael Bublé, amid rumours that he’d cheated (which he has denied). The pair fell hard and fast, getting engaged in less than a year, before marrying in 2010 at friend <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/friends-fear-amal-george-clooney-marriage/">George Clooney</a>’s home at Lake Como in Italy.</p>
<p>It might have been a starry start to marital life, but since then they’ve kept their home life relatively private, even while collaborating with each other on projects including horror hit film A Quiet Place in 2018 and its sequel A Quiet Place II.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/emily-blunt-josh-together-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='emily blunt and josh Krasinski' /><p>Meanwhile, their daughters – Hazel, 12, and Violet, nine - remain top priority. Having grown up in London before attending a boarding school in Surrey, Emily’s always been committed to giving them an upbringing away from the limelight.</p>
<p>‘We have always done everything we can to protect them from the Hollywood bubble,’ she tells Closer.</p>
<p>‘It’s important to us they have a normal childhood, and we do all we can to make that happen.’</p>
<p>That means maintaining the status quo, They have been married since 2010 Emily as Emily in The Devil Wears Prada 2 In the original with Meryl and Anne she says – whether she’s on set all day or not.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/emily-blunt-devil-wears-prada-2.jpg?q=80' alt='emily blunt' /><p>‘When I am not filming, a regular family day involves school runs, homework and bedtimes. When I am filming, I now try and pick roles where I can be around for as much of that as physically possible,’ she explains.</p>
<p>The family have built up an impressive property portfolio over the years – including owning million-pound properties in Hollywood and London. But it’s now believed they spend the majority of time in their £9m condo in Brooklyn. In the past, Emily’s jokingly expressed dismay over her kids’ long-lost British accents. Now, however, she’s made peace with their American lilts.</p>
<p>‘I have got used to it,’ she laughs. ‘They can actually do great British accents, even though it isn’t their natural way of speaking any more. I have given up hope they are going to grow up speaking like Mary Poppins.’ Mary Poppins is just one of the characters that Emily has taken on during her two decades in the spotlight, having taken the reins from Julie Andrews for the 2018 sequel, Mary Poppins Returns.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/emily-blunt-tom-cruise-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='emily blunt and tom cruise' /><p>Now, she’s busy promoting her latest big screen offering – The Devil Wears Prada 2, which hits cinemas on 1 May. The crucial factor, Emily says, was reuniting the entire cast, with Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Stanley Tucci all joining her for round two 20 years on from the original.</p>
<p>‘It was important for me that we were all back together,’ she says. Once again, we’ll see the actress don her designer threads to play fashionista Emily Charlton. It’s a role that first catapulted her to fame, as she remembers, ‘Overnight I changed from being a British actress to being recognised on a more global level.’</p>
<p>It also gave her a crash course in couture. ‘Pre-the first film, I have said before that my fashion style was that of a teenage boy,’ she laughs.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>‘Venturing into the world of fashion magazines and catwalks was a real journey of discovery for me.’</p>
<p>The long-awaited sequel is just another feather to Emily’s designer cap, with critically lauded turns in films including The Young Victoria, The Girl On The Train, and Oppenheimer. Along the way, she’s acted alongside big screen greats, including Ryan Gosling and Cillian Murphy, but she credits one very daredevil former co-star in particular for inspiring her both on and off-camera.</p>
<p>‘<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/tom-cruise-meg-ryan-romance/">Tom Cruise</a> is just so incredibly generous to everybody he works with,’ she says, having starred with him in the 2014 action film The Edge Of Tomorrow.</p>
<p>‘I don’t just mean his co- stars, but he makes sure he knows everybody working on the movie. Everybody knows that he does all his own stunts, but it’s infectious – working with him makes you brave enough to try bigger stunts yourself.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>She shocked <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/eastenders/">EastEnders</a> fans when she left the BBC soap last year, but <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/eastenders/natalie-cassidy-happy-days/">Natalie Cassidy</a> has no regrets about stepping away from Albert Square.</p>
<p>‘I love EastEnders, but I did want to have a bit more work-life balance. It’s such a hard job – and it’s a brilliant job – but it’s relentless,’ she tells Closer. ‘I just wanted to step away for a bit, and I’m really pleased I have.’</p>
<p>Having more time with her two daughters – Eliza, 15, who she shares with ex Adam Cottrell and Joanie, 10, with fiancé <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/eastenders/natalie-cassidy-wedding/">Marc Humphreys</a> – was one of the main reasons Natalie, 42, opted to leave her role as Sonia Fowler last April, following her on-off stint which began in 1993. The role has defined Natalie’s career and cemented her as a soap icon, but her eldest daughter might not agree.</p>
<p>‘Eliza watches EastEnders. She always thought Sonia was a bit boring. That was always good for the soul!’ the actress laughs. ‘I wasn’t her favourite character. She was a bit dull, I think, for Eliza.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/sonia-fowler-bianca-eastenders-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='eastenders sonia fowler bianca' /><p>It’s been an eventful year for Natalie. She’s taken the podcasting world by storm with Life With Nat, which has even gone on the road with a series of live shows. While the soap star admits she gets incredibly nervous about stepping on stage, allowing fans to get to know the real Natalie has been liberating.</p>
<p>‘I love being myself. I feel very comfortable being me, and I think people are enjoying getting to see me. It’s hard to do when people have watched me growing up on EastEnders,’ she says.</p>
<p>Although she’s busy exploring new career pathways, the door at EastEnders is never truly closed, she reveals – even if viewers did see Sonia sail away to Indonesia to start a new life. She jokes, ‘She’s living it up in Bali, I don’t know what she’s getting up to! It is nice to have a little rest for now. I think it’s important to rest characters.’</p>
<p>With more time on her hands, some might assume Natalie would have started planning her wedding to fiancé Marc, who she’s been engaged to for over 10 years. But she admits their big day isn’t at the forefront of her mind, largely due to finances and a lack of free time – both she and Marc, a cameraman, are freelance.</p>

<p>A smaller, low-key day has crossed the bride-to-be’s mind, but she reveals she’d find it difficult to stick to a budget. ‘Even if it was small, it would be expensive. I know what I’m like… nice clothes, lovely flowers, the best food. It will add up,’ Natalie admits.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, being able to call Marc – who she’s been dating since 2014 – by a certain label is something Natalie is looking forward to.</p>
<p>‘I want to be able to say, “My husband.” I’d like that,’ she adds. One thing that is, however, at the centre of Natalie’s mind is her next career move – and she’s ready to break away from the soap star label. While acting is still a priority, the mum- of-two – who has also appeared on shows like Motherland and Boarders – reveals her lifelong With fiancé Marc Humphreys dream is to be a stand-up comedian. ‘I need to write some jokes first,’ she quips, adding that she is ‘so nervous’ about the idea.</p>
<p>And Natalie has dabbled in the world of reality TV over the years too, from <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/">Strictly Come Dancing</a> to Cooking With The Stars and The Masked Singer. She also spent 16 days in the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/celebrity-big-brother-winners-2/">Celebrity Big Brother</a> house in 2012, but this TV venture wasn’t for exposure. A ‘huge tax bill’ was hanging over her head and CBB came knocking, she admits, in a refreshingly honest fashion.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>She adds, ‘There are certain choices that I made within my career that maybe I wouldn’t have made, if I’d been more sensible with money, although I loved it – I had a great time in Big Brother.’</p>
<p>She’s never shied away from being honest about her finances – and now Natalie’s encouraging others to do the same. In a bid to help people feel more comfortable discussing money and seeking advice, the BBC star has been sharing some of her own experiences.</p>
<p>And while she’s quick to emphasise that she’s ‘not a financial expert’, Natalie explains that the advice she received from stars like Wendy Richard and Steve McFadden in the early days of her EastEnders career helped her massively.</p>
<p>‘Wendy told me to start a pension as soon as I could. Steve told me to get on the property ladder – to use the money for something,’ she explains. ‘I was very lucky. I was surrounded by adults who gave me lots of good advice.’</p>

<p>But while <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/holly-willoughby-love-row-dan-baldwin/">Holly Willoughby</a> is said to be viewing the opportunity as a ‘fresh start’, an insider reveals that a familiar shadow is threatening to reappear – her former best friend and TV sidekick, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/holly-willoughby-phillip-schofield-face-off/">Phillip Schofield</a>, who is rumoured to be gearing up to drop a string of explosive bombshells.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Hols.jpg?q=80' alt='holly willoughby' /><p>A source says she’s fearful he could be out for ‘revenge’, saying, ‘After nearly two years out of mainstream television, Phil is in talks for a fly-on-the-wall documentary and a major publishing deal.</p>
<p>‘There have been discussions that Phil may challenge the narrative around what Holly knew at the time of his relationship with the younger colleague, and how that situation was handled internally. One of the areas he’s most focused on is the timeline – who knew what, and when. He believes there are parts of that story that haven’t been properly understood. He felt left exposed and believed many protected their own position.</p>
<p>‘Phil has had discussions with his former editor at Penguin. He’s determined to get his side across, and crucially that would include his fallout with Holly. That’s the part that worries her the most, because once the door is opened, it becomes the story all over again. He genuinely thinks there is a way back – and he’s determined to find it.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Holly-Phil.jpg?q=80' alt='holly willoughby and phillip schofield' /><p>Once considered TV royalty, Holly and Phil’s 14-year co-hosting reign on This Morning came crashing down in May 2023 after he confessed to lying about an ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a younger ITV colleague. While rumours about the state of their seemingly iron-clad friendship had been rife in the lead-up to Phil’s departure from ITV, Holly, 45, denied knowing anything about his cover-up but was still dragged into the fallout by default.</p>
<p>The source continues of Phil’s rumoured return to the spotlight, ‘Holly feels like the timing couldn’t be worse. She’s finally in a place where she’s ready to move forward, and now there’s a real fear that everything is about to be dragged back up again. She’s angry, upset and worried. Her biggest fear is that this never goes away.</p>
<p>‘Holly was caught in the middle of something she didn’t create. And for a long time, she carried the weight of that. She knows how this works – if Phil comes back with a documentary and a book at the same time, it becomes a huge media moment. And inevitably, her name is part of that narrative.’</p>
<p>Following Phil’s resignation, Wylde Moon founder Holly lasted an additional five months on This Morning with a rotation of co-presenters before a kidnap, rape and murder plot against her came to light, prompting her to step away from the flagship programme ‘for her and her family’.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Hol-Dan.jpg?q=80' alt='holly willoughby and dan baldwin' /><p>Since the public breakdown of their friendship and working dynamic, Phil, 64, has stayed largely out of the spotlight, bar his 2024 Channel 5 series Cast Away. As the ex-broadcaster faced 10 days of isolation on a remote island, he alluded to his fall from grace, claiming on screen there were ‘three s**ts’ at ITV responsible for it – with it being widely reported that he was referring to Holly. Neither Holly nor ITV responded to his comment.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, since leaving This Morning, Holly – who is mum to Harry, 16, Belle, 15, and Chester, 11 –  has been dealt further career setbacks. Not only was Dancing On Ice axed – a show she had fronted since 2006 – but Bear Hunt, the Netflix survival show she hosted featuring Bear Grylls, was canned after just one outing.</p>
<p>But her return is in motion. Working alongside her husband Dan Baldwin through his production company Hungry Bear, she is preparing to launch a digital-first project designed to reconnect her with audiences in a more personal way. And the source says she does not want to be dragged into whatever Phil has up his sleeve as she inches towards her big return.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>The insider reveals, ‘She’s worried Phil’s comeback could completely overshadow everything she’s building. The fear is that Phil will latch onto the attention around her new show and use that momentum to fuel his own comeback. In the worst case, it drags her straight back into negative headlines and unsettles the launch. She’s genuinely anxious it could undo all the work she’s put into this next chapter.</p>
<p>‘The last thing she wants is for it to become all about Phil again. She thinks he’s still trying to destroy her, but she’s determined not to be derailed. This comeback means a lot to her. It’s about proving she can stand on her own.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>On the heels of the news that they aren’t legally married, Closer recently reported that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/stacey-solomon-joe-swash-marriage-riddle-couldnt-trust-him/">Stacey Solomon</a> has no plans to tie the knot with long-term partner <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/stacey-solomon-agony-be-alone-put-up-with-joe-swash/">Joe Swash</a> due to fears over her financial security.</p>
<p>And now, insiders say that the family’s Easter break to Cyprus was a crucial trip for the famous couple – which left the mum-of-five not wanting to ‘fake’ anything on her social media.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Joe-stacey.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey solomon and joe swash' /><p>‘With everything going on right now, Stacey just wanted to grab the whole family to escape the noise. She felt as though she and Joe really needed to have some crunch talks about where they move forward from here,’ a source says.</p>
<p>‘It’s felt as though everyone is against them, so she decided that they should all just run off somewhere and keep things low-key.</p>
<p>‘They flew in economy – it wasn’t some big fancy trip. They’ve tried their best to enjoy themselves but, deep down, it feels like they’re at a bit of a crossroads. Stacey decided to hold off posting as much as she would normally because she doesn’t know where her head is at right now. It felt like a make-or-break trip, even though Stacey has said she wants their marriage to work. They’ve been under a lot of pressure lately, and while they’re committed to each other and to the kids, they know they still have a lot to sort out between themselves.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2266915674.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey solomon' /><p>News of their Easter getaway – which sources said would ‘hopefully be exactly what they all need at a difficult time’ – coincides with their marriage coming under intense public scrutiny. It recently emerged their picture-perfect wedding in 2022 wasn’t legally binding, despite Stacey, 36 – who shares Rex, six, Rose, four, and Belle, three, with 44-year-old Joe – previously insisting they would register their marriage legally after celebrating with friends and family at their £1.2m home, Pickle Cottage.</p>
<p>Additionally, Stacey – who is also mum to Zachary, 18 and Leighton, 13 from previous relationships – has been pictured without her wedding ring on. And, as Closer previously reported, tensions have been bubbling behind closed doors as the TV personality fears putting her financial position at risk in her partnership with Joe.</p>
<p>‘Stacey has to think logically – she’s the main breadwinner and owns their house,’ an insider revealed. ‘If they were to get legally hitched and divorced, then, as with all divorces, she could stand to lose a large chunk.’</p>
<p>Joe – who is also dad to son Harry, 18, from a previous relationship – shot to fame on EastEnders in 2003, but was axed from the soap after five years, later admitting he’d blown much of his fortune on a fast-lane lifestyle. While he briefly boosted his finances by winning I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2008, he was declared bankrupt within months after falling behind on tax payments – a situation he faced again in 2013.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/stacey-Joe-presenting.jpg?q=80' alt='stacey solomon and joe swash' /><p>Meanwhile, Stacey – who shot to stardom on The X Factor in 2009 – is seeing her company, Keymap Entertainment Ltd, go from strength to strength. Off the back of big-money partnerships with brands like Primark, Asda and Abbott Lyon, plus her stake in hair and skincare firm REHAB and her podcasting job, accounts recently revealed her wealth has jumped to an eye-watering £10.1m.</p>
<p>‘People are already asking lots of questions about why they never legally married – and how much of it is to do with money and whether Stacey can trust Joe with his finances,’ the insider says.</p>
<p>‘Stacey feels as though it’s out there that she doesn’t have the perfect marriage and she’s told Joe she’s not going to do anything that looks like she’s “faking” that image anymore. But she is constantly revealing her life on social media and knows she shouldn’t be surprised when everyone is judging her and having an opinion on her.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>‘Stacey doesn’t want it to feel like a power imbalance between her and Joe, but the fact is, she does have more money and has been shrewd in her business dealings and finances. Being a young single mum taught Stacey a lot, and for the longest time she’s felt that she could only ever depend on herself, which is why she has wanted to keep things separate from Joe.’</p>
<p>While the couple have usually been the picture of happiness, their recent Easter trip will be a stark contrast to family holidays gone by, owing to the tension between them.</p>
<p>‘Mutual pals think it’s long overdue that they address the differences and get it all out in the open,’ the source continues.</p>
<p>‘It makes for an unfortunate situation as money talk can make people feel uncomfortable, but everyone agrees that this holiday ti me should be spent by Stacey and Joe making sure they are on the same page.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Posting snapshots of their idyllic Easter celebrations onto social media last week, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-fury-prince-harry-messages-another-woman/">Meghan Markle</a> can be seen fetching eggs from their home’s chicken coop, before her and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/make-break-harry-meghan-marriage/">Prince Harry</a>’s two children – Archie, six, and Lilibet, four – go gleefully running through their Montecito estate in search of eggs.</p>
<p>However, this glimpse of their family life, as wholesome as it really does appear, comes amidst a backdrop of growing reports that this year is set to be <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/prince-harry-meghan-markle-rows-kris-jenner-party/">make or break for the Sussexes Hollywood dream</a>. Because despite Meghan depicting their Californian home as something from the simple life, running a $12.6 million estate in one of the most affluent parts of the US does not come cheap.</p>
<p>Last week, renowned author Tom Bower made the shocking revelation in his new book, Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family, that the Sussexes need an income of at least $3 million annually to maintain their current lifestyle.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/harry-meghan-3-words.png?q=80' alt='prince harry looking cross' /><p>Now, as they prepare for their trip to Australia, where <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-brand-flop/">Meghan reportedly hopes to launch her lifestyle</a> brand to adoring fans at her upcoming £14000-a-ticket women’s wellness retreat, a source tells us that panicked Harry, who reportedly received a £10 million inheritance from Princess Diana, has delivered a shock three-word confession to Meghan: ‘We’re going broke!’</p>
<p>The insider says, ‘To the average person it might sound like they’d be set for life, but their expenses are absolutely massive. They need to bring in around a quarter of a million a month just to stay in the black, and the reality is they’re already starting to slip into the red some months.</p>
<p>‘Security alone is an enormous cost. Then you have the house, staff and everything else tied to their lifestyle, and it all adds up fast. Harry’s the one really feeling it because he’s always been more cautious with money, and now he’s looking at the numbers and realising how quickly things can spiral. They’ve poured so much money into Meghan’s brand and there’s a real fear creeping in about whether that will ever deliver.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-08-at-16.32.09_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Meghan shared this idyllic snapshot of their lives on her Instagram' /><p>January marked six years since the Sussexes sensationally quite royal life, leaving the monarchy ‘blindsided’ when they laid their grievances bare in the most public of ways. The drama, naturally, saw Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, set to rake in over $100 million in deals with Hollywood’s biggest power players including Netflix, Apple and Spotify, who were all lining up for a slice of the Sussex story.</p>
<p>But the past few years have seen the Royal Family face their darkest times to date and the tide has turned in favour of the monarchy; even Stateside, where Harry and Meghan had once been hailed as Montecito’s shiniest new golden couple.</p>
<p>Now, as their popularity seemingly continues to decline, the Sussexes are also said to be floundering when it comes to keeping their finances afloat after projects, such as their adaptation of the Carley Fortune novel, ‘Meet Me at the Lake’, have so far failed to materialise.</p>
<p>And following the recent news that Netflix’s CEO and Meghan’s former BFF Ted Sarandos has unfollowed Meghan on social media, the source claims Harry and Meghan are fast becoming ‘radioactive’ in some Hollywood circles.</p>
<p>We’re told, ‘When they moved to California there was so much excitement around them, there was this assumption that everything would fall into place and they’d be the toast of Hollywood. But, as everyone knows, it has not turned out that way.</p>
<p>‘So many things have flopped and on top of that they’ve gained a reputation for being hard to work with, so most of the goodwill they had within the industry when they first arrived has disappeared, to the point where they’re now seen as radioactive by a lot of the power players.’</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Meghan also received what may have been her biggest blow yet when it was revealed that Netflix had completely cut ties with her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The news followed reports that the streaming giant's HQ had turned into something akin to a luxury house clearance, with staff members said to be leaving with armfuls of free candles and jams, as well as their final Netflix earnings reportedly closer to $60m rather than the whopping $100m originally stated.</p>
<p>However, after having applied to trademark the brand name in Australia, we’re told the determined duchess is still adamant that she and Harry continue to pour money into her passion project – a potential risk we’re told Harry is firmly against.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-1798082669_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Harry wants to ditch the red carpets but Meghan is still firmly chasing her Hollywood dream' /><p>‘Meghan is still saying they need to spend money to make money and she wants to keep investing in As Ever so they’re just not seeing eye to eye on this and he’s sounding the alarm,’ the insider says.</p>
<p>‘In her view there are challenges at the start of any entrepreneur’s journey, it’s just a case of how those challenges are met. Of course there’s no doubt she expected to be much further along by now.</p>
<p>‘Meghan’s stance is that they’ve already sunk so much, they’d be foolish to quit now just because the going is tougher than they anticipated. She’s pushing hard to keep the momentum going and spending up a storm in the process which just has Harry even more stressed.’</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Harry has been noticeably absent from red carpets over the past few months, with Meghan attending the Fifteen Percent Fundraising Gala solo in February after heading to Paris alone for Fashion Week in October and attending another Children’s Hospital fundraising event in LA just days later.</p>
<p>And with growing reports suggesting that he is still working towards long-term reconciliation with the Royal Family; paired with his passion for philanthropy, the insider says Harry is keen to step away from the pressures of Hollywood altogether.</p>
<p>We’re told, ‘Harry would love to totally ditch Hollywood and downsize their lives so that he can go back to working on his charities but Meghan won’t even consider that. She wants to hit billionaire status and says this is just a bump in the road.</p>
<p>‘It’s incredibly demoralizing and frustrating for someone like Harry who is used to things coming quite easily. He’s ready to wash his hands of the whole mess.’</p>
<p>However, with so much at stake, we’re told that Meghan is insisting that now isn’t the time for them to ‘throw in the towel’ on their American dream.</p>
<p>The source says, ‘Of course, even if Meghan were to agree it’s not nearly as simple as just deciding to pivot to something new. They’ve made commitments so there are expectations from investors that still need to be met, there’s no telling what could happen on that front if they throw in the towel.</p>
<p>‘And, from a reputational standpoint it would be a huge disaster for them, too. She’s put so much of her identity and credibility into this brand, pulling the plug would leave a huge question mark over what she does next. That kind of public failure would be tough to come back from.'</p>

<h2>How we selected the best UGG Tasman dupes:</h2>
<p>When it comes to purchasing UGG Tasman dupes, there are some key factors to consider, such as: the material, comfort and fit, aesthetic, durability and customer reviews. We've kept this in mind, only including brands that are trusted and come highly recommended by reviewers. Take a look at our FAQs for more information about what to look for when making a purchase.</p>

<h2>SHOP: 10 best UGG Tasman dupes 2026</h2>
<h2>What to consider before purchasing UGG Tasman dupes:</h2>
<p>When purchasing UGG dupes, expectations should be managed. A dupe will have some considerable differences and won't be exactly like the UGG Tasman. These are some of the things to keep in mind:</p>
<h3>• Material &#x26; Quality</h3>
<p>Of course, the original UGG Tasman includes materials such as suede outer shell, authentic sheepskin lining and sugarcane EVA soles, however, despite these being more durable, these materials are expensive to produce.</p>
<p>Therefore, UGG dupes often include faux suede, faux sheepskin and rubber soles to replicate the look for less - possibly a better option for any of our vegan readers. Although, these materials may not be as durable or as high-quality as the original.</p>
<h3>• Comfort &#x26; Fit</h3>
<p>UGG Tasmans feature a UGGpure™ wool insole, with reviewers claiming they're true to size. Dupes may not necessarily have features such as insoles or memory foam included, and the fit may differ from UGG, or be inconsistent when it comes to sizing. If your dupes lack support, you may want to add an insole if you're wearing them for long periods.</p>
<h3>• Price vs. Value</h3>
<p>An UGG dupe might serve you and your bank account in the short term, but as we know, price tag and quality often go hand-in-hand. Unfortunately, dupes are less likely to withstand wear and tear. Generally, the cheaper the dupe, the less durable and comfortable they may be, but, not always. Take to customer reviews to check what the reviewers say about the quality.</p>
<h3>• Aesthetic &#x26; Design</h3>
<p>Key to the Tasman look is the nylon pattern stitching around the collar, along with its suede shell, sheepskin lining, blocky platform and clog-like shape. Some dupes may be slightly different in shape, have different stitching around the collar and come in a different colour selection to the originals.</p>
<h3>• Brand Reputation &#x26; Reviews</h3>
<p>We've only included reputable brands in our round-up that we know and trust, aiming to include dupes with customer reviews where possible. Avoid any brands you're not aware of or are unsure of, as this may impact the quality of your purchase. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is! Stick to high-street brands you've shopped with before, and check customer reviews to inform your decision.</p>
<p>It's important to note that, of course, none of the dupes will include the UGG branding. Some brands will either incorporate their own branding logo or leave a logo out entirely. If the UGG branding is an important feature to you, we recommend going with the original <a href="https://www.schuh.co.uk/womens/ugg-tasman-chestnut-slippers/1601766250/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">UGG Tasman</a> instead.</p>
<h3>• Warmth &#x26; Breathability</h3>
<p>The plush, sheepskin lining in the original pair of UGGs keeps feet warm during colder spells, ideal for wearing outdoors or around the house. However, the included UGGpure™ wool insole naturally wicks away moisture, making them breathable to prevent overheating. It may be a challenge to find dupes that have features like this, however.</p>
<h3>• Return Policy &#x26; Durability</h3>
<p>Before your purchase, be sure to check the return policy to make sure you can return or exchange your order if you're not happy with it. No one likes a complicated return or spending money on a product that you can't get back. Features like reinforced stitching or water-resistant materials may be good to look for, as they generally ensure better longevity - saving you the hassle of returning them due to concerns with durability.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/heidi-montag.jpg?q=80' alt='heidi montag' /><p>When it comes to surgery, Heidi Montag famously went full throttle - she underwent an eye-popping 10 procedures in just one day back in 2009, boosting her bust up to a dramatic F-cup.</p>
<p>But it wasn’t long before reality set in for her. Just three years later, Heidi opted to scale things back, swapping her F-cup implants for a more practical D. She admitted she’d become 'beyond obsessed' with chasing that 'perfection', but never anticipated the toll it would take on her body and mind, including those 'emotional and physical repercussions.' Let’s be honest here, Heidi – we’re imagining backache might’ve also featured on that list, right?</p>
<h2><strong>Pamela Anderson</strong></h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Why-are-celebrities-having-their-breast-implants-removed.3.jpg?q=80' alt='Pamela Anderson dressed as Venus the Goddess of Love, appearing at Caesars Palace to launch her makeup line, sign autographs for fans, for a benefit for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).' /><p>Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson was a global pin-up in the ‘90s, famously sprinting down the beach and grabbing plenty of headlines for her love life and not least for her wonderfully enhanced chest. Pam first had her breasts enlarged at 19, jumping from a 34C to a 34DD, but in 1999, she decided to reduce her bust. As she later explained, 'It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time and I’m very happy with my decision.' These days she’s often seen without so much of a scrap of make-up – the au naturel trend is here to stay with Pammy.</p>
<h2><strong>Victoria Beckham</strong></h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Why-are-celebrities-having-their-breast-implants-removed.2.jpg?q=80' alt='Victoria Beckham during Olympus Fashion Week Spring 2007 - Marc Jacobs - Arrivals at New York State Armory in New York City,' /><p>Fashionista <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/victoria-beckham-begs-elton-john-fix-family-drama/">Victoria Beckham</a> reportedly struggled to fit into the high-fashion world with her breast implants after she went from 34A to 34D in the late 90s. According celeb biography The House of Beckham by author Tom Bower, Anna Wintour herself once advised Victoria to 'fix' her implants if she wanted credibility among the elite. The Vogue editor allegedly saw 'boob jobs and hotpants' as too Essex, not high fashion. While Vogue denied the story, Victoria ended up removing her implants in 2014 - as her style became more sophisticated. By 2023, she admitted, 'If I’m honest, I wish I’d never [gotten implants].'</p>
<h2><strong>Yolanda Hadid</strong></h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Why-are-celebrities-having-their-breast-implants-removed.4.jpg?q=80' alt='THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS - Yolanda Hadid Foster' /><p>The ‘momager’ of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/beckham-feud-eva-longoria-secret-meeting/">Bella and Gigi, Yolanda Hadid</a> rang in her 55th birthday by sharing her decision to return to her natural self, ditching all enhancements. 'Living in a body free of breast implants, fillers, Botox, extensions and all the bulls**t I thought I needed…' she declared on Instagram. After struggling with Lyme disease, Yolanda had her breast implants removed in 2016, after discovering they were leaking. She now urges, 'Beauty has no meaning without your health.'</p>
<h2><strong>Chrissy Teigen</strong></h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Why-are-celebrities-having-their-breast-implants-removed.6.jpg?q=80' alt='Chrissy Teigen arrives at SI Swimsuit South Beach Soiree at The Gale South Beach' /><p>Always candid, supermodel Chrissy Teigen wasn’t shy about her breast implant removal - even sharing a censored pic fresh from surgery to prove to doubting fans that it was real. Chrissy originally got implants to help her modelling career but later joked, 'You have babies and they fill up with milk and deflate, and now I am screwed.' But by 2020, she was ready for removal surgery so she could 'zip her dresses comfortably' and enjoy sleeping on her stomach again. Her friends even threw a send-off for the implants, complete with a 'RIP 2006–2020' cake! Bye, bye boobies.</p>
<h2><strong>Mena Suvari</strong></h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Why-are-celebrities-having-their-breast-implants-removed.5.jpg?q=80' alt='Mena Suvari attends Operation Smile 30th Anniversary Celebration at Cipriani 42nd Street' /><p>In her memoir, The Great Peace, Mena Suvari opened up about removing her implants after years of feeling disconnected from her body and wrestling with her past. She’d gotten them during a tough time, seeing them as a 'distraction.' Eventually, realising she 'had gone to such extremes' searching for identity, American Beauty actress Mena decided to have them taken out. Despite her nerves before the procedure, she felt liberated when she saw the implants after surgery. 'Wow, there they are,' she recalled of the surreal moment.</p>
<h2><strong>Ashley Tisdale</strong></h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Why-are-celebrities-having-their-breast-implants-removed.7.jpg?q=80' alt='Ashley Tisdale attends the 24th annual Elton John AIDS Foundation's Oscar viewing party' /><p>High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale got real with her fans on Instagram about having her breast implants removed. Experiencing 'minor health issues that just were not adding up,' including 'food sensitivities as well as gut issues', she decided last winter to have the implants out. She called the process 'one of growth, self discovery, self-acceptance and most importantly self-love,' and says you can see her happiness in photos taken just two months after surgery.</p>
<h2><strong>Tori Spelling</strong></h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Why-are-celebrities-having-their-breast-implants-removed.1.jpg?q=80' alt='Tori Spelling during Gen Art Presents the Lipton Pyramid Teas Launch at Xchange in New York City' /><p>Beverly Hills, 90210 star Tori Spelling has always been open about her plastic surgery journey, telling Good Morning America back in 2011, 'I got my boobs done in my early 20s, and if I had known it would or could possibly impact production of [breast] milk, I would never have had them done.' Her eventual removal of the D-cup implants was even chronicled on her reality show. Years later, she realised implants don’t last forever - especially after a health advisory linked them to complications. Tori said her daughter’s concerns helped her finally prioritise her own health, and she scheduled her procedure for 2022.</p>

<p>For those not in the know, the Revolution Miracle Cream is supercharged with hard-working ingredients including wrinkle-busting ceramides which leave your skin satisfyingly smooth and plump.

<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-saffron-lempriere/">Saffron Lempriere</a> added, 'Oh Amy lovely news congratulations to you both what a beautiful moment,' while <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/jordan-brook/">Jordan Brook</a> said, 'Congratulations to you both ❤️❤️❤️.'</p>
<p>'Awwww congratulations darling ❤️❤️❤️,' remarked <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/billie-faiers-towie/">Billie Faiers</a>.</p>
<p>Amy and Billy, who previously appeared on First Dates, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/amy-childs-dating-billy-delbosq/">started dating in September 2021</a>.</p>
<p>At the time, a source revealed, 'Amy and Billy have been getting on like a house on fire, they're loving spending time together and going on romantic dates. Their relationship started online, which only made things more exciting when they finally met in person.'</p>
<h2>Are Amy Childs and Billy Delbosq married?</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/amy-billy-kiss-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='billy and amy kiss on wedding day' /><p>They sure are. Amy and Billy got hitched at Marylebone Town Hall, London, on Saturday 11 April 2026 surrounded by their nearest and dearest, including Amy’s parents Julie and Billy, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/wills-childs/">her brother Wills</a> and her cousin, Harry.</p>
<p>Of course, it wouldn’t be a showbiz wedding without lots of lovely pics, and we've got them! We even spotted who caught Amy’s bouquet and we can’t help but think it was a bit of a fix, albeit a delightful one. <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/amy-childs-wedding-bouquet/">Click here for more</a>.</p>
<h2>Why did Amy Childs and Billy Delbosq push back their wedding?</h2>
<p>Closer previously revealed that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/amy-childs-billy-delbosq-cancel-wedding/">Amy had called off plans to get married to Billy in 2025</a>, pushing back their wedding to this year.</p>
<p>‘Amy has had to cancel her wedding and she’s absolutely gutted,’ an insider explained. ‘There was going to be a show around it, following the run-up to their big day, but they’ve had to make some last-minute changes based on what’s going on in their lives.’</p>
<h2>How many children does Amy Childs have?</h2>
<p>Amy has <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/amy-childs-kids">four children</a>; twins Millie and Billy with husband Billy, as well as Polly and Ritchie from previous relationships.</p>

<p>A video posted by Amy on Instagram shows her throwing the bouquet from the top of a staircase before none other than her cousin Harry is seen raising his arms to catch the flowers.</p>
<p>It wasn’t going to be anyone else, was it? And we’d love to see Harry walk down the aisle next.</p>

However, Harry later confirmed the ‘very special’ man was just his ‘best friend.’</p>
<p>‘Press, he is not my boyfriend, just an amazing person, who is amazing and helped me a lot,’ Harry wrote on Instagram at the time.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Though she’s downplayed the reports, Alison Hammond is still one of the names rumoured to take over as the new host of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/">Strictly Come Dancing</a>.</p>
<p>And while fans would love to see her at the helm, the presenter, 51, is worried that taking the job could put her relationship with boyfriend David Putman in jeopardy. An insider says, ‘Alison’s most worried about how the job would affect her and David. She feels they’ve got off lightly so far as people have left them alone – but she knows Strictly would bring increased interest in her love life. It would add more pressure.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/alison-hammond-strictlyjpg-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='alison hammond on strictly' /><p>‘Alison is quite superstitious and doesn’t want to risk it – but pals are saddened, as they believe she shouldn’t be ruled by fear and should keep following her path with courage and optimism.’</p>
<p>After meeting Russian model and masseur David, 29, in 2023, Alison went public with their romance the following April. ‘He just has the most beautiful energy and everyone feels it when they’re in his presence. It’s very rare,’ she smiled. ‘I am so grateful that he chooses to spend his life with me.’</p>
<p>Despite the pair happily living together – and Alison admitting she ‘wouldn’t say no’ if David popped the question – the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/alison-hammond-great-british-bake-off-outfits/">Bake Off</a> host can’t help but feel worried that the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/strictly-come-dancing-curse-biggest-love-affairs/">Strictly ‘curse’</a>could rock the boat – especially due to their 22-year age gap.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/alison-hammond-boyfriend-instagram.png?q=80' alt='alison hammond boyfriend' /><p>Last January, Alison – who is mum to son Aidan, 21 – revealed, ‘When we see the word “toyboy” written about us, it bears no relation to what we have at all. If you saw us together, you’d understand. He’s so mature and sensible, and I’m so not!’</p>
<p>The TV favourite recently admitted Strictly bosses had approached her for the top job, but the presenter – who co-stars with singer Sam Ryder in new <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/alison-hammond-your-song-outfits/">Channel 4 talent show, Your Song</a> – said she’d turned the gig down as she is ‘so busy’ and ‘can’t do it because everything clashes’.</p>
<p>But the insider says that she is actually scared of her relationship being publicly scrutinised due to the show.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-11.14.35.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine cover' /><p>‘Alison knows her TV career has been sky-high for years – but hosting Strictly would take her up a level, which she finds terrifying,’ the source adds.</p>
<p>‘She says it’s not practical with her current workload, but there’s a way she could make it work. Alison is scared her life would change under the pressure of the primetime spotlight.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If you’ve been keeping up with our <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/">Real Housewives of Cheshire</a> coverage these last couple of months, you’ll know there’s been one massive question mark hovering over the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/series-19-cast-shake-up/">already dramatic</a> <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/series-19/">series 19</a> (which launches Tuesday 21 April): what’s going on with OG <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/seema-real-housewives-of-cheshire/">Seema Malhotra</a>’s future on the show?</p>
<p>Until recently, the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/seema-malhotra-leaving/">'is she leaving?' chat</a> felt like it was written in pencil. But now, it’s basically been gone over in permanent Sharpie after Seema spoke out about facing a 'big decision' this 'surreal' series, while also confirming she’s right in the middle of the drama this time around.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/the_real_housewives_of_cheshire_sr19_06-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Seema Malhotra' /><p>Remember when she spent filming sitting on the fence while the likes of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/rachel-lugo-real-housewives-of-cheshire/">Rachel Lugo</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/lystra-adams-real-housewives-of-cheshire/">Lystra Adams</a> did all the heavy lifting? Those days are long gone.</p>
<p>Seema told show bosses, 'This series, for me, was very emotional, because you’ll see me making a very big decision about my future. I don’t want to give too much away, but that was a real bittersweet moment for me.'</p>
<p>'Bittersweet' in Housewives language usually means someone’s about to cry, someone’s about to shout, or someone’s about to leave a dinner party before the starters have come out, by the way.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/the_real_housewives_of_cheshire_sr19_01-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='The cast of the The Real Housewives of Cheshire series 19' /><p>Seema also admitted she thought the group dynamics would be fine this year… but drama had other plans. 'In terms of group dynamics, I thought it would have been okay, but let’s just say… drama just follows me. What can I say? I don’t know why,' she said, adding that filming now feels 'surreal' because of the build-up and emotional rollercoaster of series 19.</p>

<p>Seema also gave her 'OGs' a shout-out, saying she had loads of fun with them this series and that the show has given her friendships she’ll never forget. It's giving goodbye speech...</p>
<p>Given she’s stressing how much she enjoyed time with the OGs, could this mean her <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/seema-malhotra-paige-chohan-feud/">complicated history with newer Housewife Paige Chohan</a> gets thrown back into the spotlight this series? Seema, of course, brought <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/paige-chohan-real-housewives-cheshire/">Paige</a> into the group in 2023, but they later ended up clashing on-screen, with Seema even referring to Paige as a 'just a client' – a moment that still lives rent-free in Housewives history.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2246244171-1-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Paige Chohan' /><p><strong>Spoiler-ish teaser alert:</strong> Early episode hints have sparked rumours that Seema clashes with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/sheena-lynch-real-housewives-of-cheshire/">Sheena Lynch</a> pretty early in the new series… but, as always, we’ll have to wait patiently for the full tea.</p>
<p>Seema is one of the longest serving Housewives, joining the cast in 2016 alongside <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/stacey-forsey-real-housewives-of-cheshire/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stacey Forsey</a>, after guest starring in series one. The only other current Housewife who has been on the show longer is <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/lauren-simon-real-housewives-cheshire/">Lauren Simon</a>.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Grab your prosecco (or champagne, if you’re one of these boujie ladies) and clear your diary, because <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/">The Real Housewives of Cheshire</a> is finally making a comeback after almost a year.</p>
<p>It’s been confirmed today (Tuesday 14 April) that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/series-19/">series 19</a> of the popular ITV reality show, The Real Housewives of Cheshire - which fiercely follows the lives of some of Cheshire’s most elite queens - will return on Tuesday 21 April at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, meaning fans don't have long to wait for the next helping of designer drama, frosty dinners and those 'I’m fine' smiles that are absolutely <em>never</em> fine.</p>
<p>What’s really got viewers talking, though, is the fact the show isn’t landing on its usual night. Historically, The Real Housewives of Cheshire has aired on a Monday evening (something that's become a bit of a reality TV tradition for Cheshire obsessives like us). But this series is switching lanes to Tuesday and it’s the biggest clue yet that the show’s new era is properly underway.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/the_real_housewives_of_cheshire_sr19_01-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='The cast of the The Real Housewives of Cheshire series 19' /><p>The move comes as the franchise - along with other reality favourites like <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> - transitions from ITVBe to ITV2, which would explain the schedule shake-up: new channel, new slot, new overpriced vibes. And with the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/series-19-cast-shake-up/">cast line-up getting an update too</a>, it’s safe to say it’s all change for the series to come.</p>
<p>Filming for series 19 reportedly kicked off in January (and we have to say, the ladies did a superb job at keeping spoilers under wraps from us). Then, last week, ITV confirmed the new cast and guests, and it sounds like we’re in for a mix of familiar faces, fresh dynamics and guest appearances designed to royally stir the pot.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/legacy/media/5c5c/6cd2/057f/581b/44a0/28c5/Ampika%20Pickston.jpg?q=80' alt='Ampika Pickston' /><p>Show bosses have promised an inside look at the ladies’ lavish lifestyles later this month, as iconic OG Housewife <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/ampika-pickston/">Ampika Pickston</a> rejoins the cast, alongside fan favourites <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/lauren-simon-real-housewives-cheshire/">Lauren Simon</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/series-19/">Rachel Lugo</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/sheena-lynch-real-housewives-of-cheshire/">Sheena Lynch</a>, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/seema-real-housewives-of-cheshire/">Seema Malhotra</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/paige-chohan-real-housewives-cheshire/">Paige Chohan</a>.</p>
<p>And because we’re borderline obsessed, we’ve already been all over the rumours and real-life reshuffles behind the scenes – including theories that fan faves and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/seema-malhotra-leaving/">OGs Seema and Rachel might be leaving</a>, plus the chatter around why <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/ell-egar-leaving/">Ell Egar</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/real-housewives-of-cheshire/lystra-adams-leaving/">Lystra Adams</a> have exited the show.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/seema-malhotra-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Seema Malhotra' /><p>Not to mention the fact it’s already been confirmed the series will return again later this year for series 20, meaning we (thankfully) won’t have to suffer this torturous wait all over again.</p>
<p>Cheers to that.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-barrel-leg-jeans/">Barrel leg jeans</a> seem to be absolutely everywhere on the high street right now, so it's no wonder that the <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/mid-rise-barrel-jeans/p/clp60728157?color=INDIGOMIX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">M&#x26;S barrel jeans</a> are officially the brand's bestselling jeans on the website. However, the trending pair have just had an update. <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/what-to-buy-at-marks-and-spencer-new-in/">New in to M&#x26;S</a>, the <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/high-waisted-crease-front-barrel-jeans/p/clp60774441" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">High Waisted Crease Front Barrel Jeans</a> feature a fresh design with a modern, elevated detail.</p>
<p>While <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/marks-and-spencer-carrot-jeans/">carrot jeans</a> remain an ever-popular choice at M&#x26;S, barrel jeans have become the reigning supreme. Over the past few years, fashion trends have leaned away from skinny jeans, with styles becoming more and more voluminous. Carrot jeans started us off with a roomy fit around the hips and thighs, gently tapering around the ankle. But, barrel jeans have taken the silhouette up a notch.</p>
<h2>SHOP: M&#x26;S barrel jeans</h2>
<p>Barrel jeans are characterised by a fitted waist and a more dramatic, curved silhouette around the hips and thighs. Initially, they might seem intimidating at first glance, but, surprisingly, they have a universally flattering appeal across all body types. They're also fairly easy to style and effortlessly elevate your look, earning you some major style points with their trendy, modern shape.</p>
<p>As you can imagine, you can wear them across the seasons and might even want different shades of denim for different times of year. Not to mention, you can dress them up or down depending on the occasion, so they're a great one to have on rotation across your wardrobe.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DTAUemXCPVd/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">M&#x26;S's Instagram</a>, the brand sells ten pairs of jeans every minute, which means that the viral barrel jeans are practically flying out. It comes as no surprise that fashion influencers are head over heels when it comes to this trending pair of jeans, too. The pair have pulled in hundreds of reviews, with customers praising the overall fit and style.</p>
<p>What do customers have to say about them? Well, the comment section is practically flooded with praise. One delighted customer revealed, 'I was so pleased with these jeans that I bought them in three colours. The quality and tailoring are excellent. The barrel leg design is a fabulous up-to-date shape - a great way to modernise your look. I was a bit undecided on length, but ended up going with my usual regular, as barrel legs are meant to be more ankle-grazing in length, I feel. At £30, they are just amazing!'</p>
<p>The general consensus is in: barrel jeans are fantastic. So, if you want to update your look, barrel jeans are definitely the way to go. Why not shop M&#x26;S's official bestselling <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/mid-rise-barrel-jeans/p/clp60728157?color=INDIGOMIX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Mid Rise Barrel Jeans</a>, or new in <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/high-waisted-crease-front-barrel-jeans/p/clp60774441" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">High Waisted Crease Front Barrel Jeans</a> and see what all the fuss is about? Honestly, once you try them, you'll never go back. But, you'll have to be quick - they're practically flying off the shelves.</p>
<h2>What body type do barrel jeans flatter most?</h2>
<p>Barrel jeans famously work for all body types, which is why we love them so much. We're of the firm belief that anyone should be able to wear whatever style they want, regardless of how 'flattering' it's said to look on different body shapes. After all, it's how confident you feel that counts.</p>
<p>For those with straighter lines, barrel jeans add the illusion of a gentle curve. While for curvy and hourglass figures, this style of jean flatters the curves that are already in place. For those who find themselves top-heavy with narrower hips or legs, barrel jeans balance out proportions and add volume towards the bottom. However, it's all about finding the correct fit, of course.</p>
<p>When it comes to finding the right fit, you might want to check out the review section to see how customers with similar proportions felt when they tried them on, and what size they opted for. Luckily, M&#x26;S's barrel jeans tend to fit true to size, according to many reviews.</p>
<h2>How to style barrel jeans?</h2>
<p>Depending on the occasion, you might want to dress your barrel jeans up or down. Adding a pair of heels can instantly elevate your barrel jeans so they can be worn to a party or on a night out. Whereas swapping your heels for trainers, ballet flats or loafers will see endless everyday potential.</p>
<p>Personally, I find that balancing a bottom half that has slightly more volume with a fitted top seems to be the key for me, but it's all about whatever works for you.</p>
<p>You may find that styling with a black long-sleeved top is a ridiculously easy outfit solution that'll serve you across all situations. Whether it's a scoop neck or turtleneck, it'll work a treat. Of course, short-sleeved tees, shirts, jumpers, bodysuits and vests are also a fantastic wearable option. And when it comes to colder months, you could even throw on a cropped cardigan for the extra warmth. Ultimately, they're a great style to experiment with.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It’s now been over four months since <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/furious-sarah-ferguson-backstabs-prince-andrew/">Sarah Ferguson</a> was last spotted in the UK and reports continue to swirl that the disgraced former Duchess is sofa-surfing across the US as she relies on a number of friends to ensure she stays undercover <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/sarah-ferguson-hiding-place-exposed/">whilst the Epstein storm rumbles on</a>.</p>
<p>However, it’s been widely reported that Sarah, 66, will soon run out of funds, with a source previously telling us how she hopes to find a new man to continue the lavish lifestyle she once led within the fold of the Royal Family.</p>
<p>They told us, ‘She says there’s no reason she can’t throw herself back into the dating game and land a rich man to make the rest of her days a whole lot easier. She’s always had a certain charm that attracts powerful and wealthy men and in her view she’s not lost that.’</p>
<p>Now, while he is very much not single, having been dating President Donald Trump’s former daughter-in-law Vanessa Trump since around November 2024, we’re told Sarah has been reaching out to one high-profile man in particular – golfing legend, Tiger Woods, 50, who found himself at the centre of his own scandal last week when he was arrested for driving under the influence.</p>

<p>However, it’s been widely reported that Sarah, 66, will soon run out of funds, with a source previously telling us how she hopes to find a new man to continue the lavish lifestyle she once led within the fold of the Royal Family.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Tiger-Woods-GettyImages-759709.jpg?q=80' alt='Tiger Woods and girlfriend Elin Nordegren attend the Golf Writers Association of America Awards Dinner April 10, 2002' /><p>Now the insider warns that while Sarah has reached out to support her long-term pal, her friendships have, at times, been considered as transactional as they claim she could lean on Tiger for a much-needed injection of cash when the time feels right.</p>
<p>The source says, ‘That’s very much how she operates, she’d never admit it, but her friendships have by and large always been quite transactional. She will put up with a whole lot from someone if she sees them as useful, just look at all her correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, or the fake sheikh scandal she got herself into all those years ago.</p>
<p>‘There’s not a whole lot she won’t do if the price is right, and that includes inserting herself into someone’s life when they’re at rock bottom.  She genuinely does want to help, but she’s also absolutely desperate for a serious loan right now and most people have shunned her.</p>
<p>‘It’s shameless but not a surprise to anyone that knows Sarah. The bigger shock will be if Tiger responds. He’s always had a soft spot for Sarah and has tended to humor her over the years, but this is a very different situation, the stakes are a lot higher.’</p>
<p>However, with Tiger now reported to have checked himself into a rehabilitation facility following his release from a Florida jail, the source says it’s unlikely that he will make contact with anyone outside of his close inner circle, who they say will be protecting him fiercely while he focuses on his recovery.</p>
<p>We’re told, ‘He’s also got a very tight circle of people around him who are all extremely protective. The fact is, as much as Tiger may like Sarah and sympathize with her, she has a reputation for being a grifter and even if he isn’t, it’s likely his people will be concerned about that.</p>
<p>‘Still, knowing Sarah she’s going to persist until the door is fully shut, she’s desperate for money and Tiger is a billionaire. Even a small handout by his standards could save her bacon.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>In what appears to be an unexpected move by <a href="https://heatworld.com/celebrity/news/jennifer-aniston-angelina-jolie-joint-response-new-movie-feud/">Angelina Jolie</a>, it was revealed earlier this week that the actress is attempting to delay her set court date with <a href="https://heatworld.com/celebrity/news/jennifer-aniston-brad-pitt-secret-double-dates/">ex Brad Pitt</a> by nine months, potentially moving their legal showdown from February next year all the way until November.</p>
<p>Their divorce has fast become one of the most toxic in showbiz history, so it came as a surprise to many that Angelina is now attempting to delay the final hurdle in their decade-long legal battle –the former couple’s on-going dispute over their French Vineyard, Chateau Miraval.</p>
<p>However, the news also coincides with Angelina’s attendance at a Tom Ford event in Shanghai, China, last weekend, after which fans raised the alarm when photographs taken at the high fashion do showed the Couture star, 50, who showed off her new lighter hair accessorised with a bold red lip, looking pale and noticeably gaunt.</p>
<p>One concerned fan commented, ‘She looks tired and unwell’, while another added, ‘I know she has health issues but she really looks like she is struggling. Hope she comes back strong.’</p>
<p>Others speculated whether she had undergone surgery on her eyes, and expressed their concern that the Bell’s Palsy she has previously suffered from has returned.</p>
<p>Now a source tells us the stress of her divorce from Brad, 63 - with whom she shares Maddox, 24, Pax, 22, Zahara, 21, Shiloh, 19, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 17 - continues to take a heavy toll on Angelina, as those close to her fear her health could take a turn for the worse if this court battle continues to drag on.</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Shocking-truth-after-Angelina-Jolies-%E2%80%98new-face-sparked-wild-conspiracy-theory.1.jpg?q=80' alt='US actress Angelina Jolie gives a press conference for the film "Couture" during the 73rd San Sebastian International Film Festival in the northern Spanish Basque city of San Sebastian' /><p>An insider says, ‘Angelina has been very open about how much stress she’s been under and how much it’s affected her health. When she and Brad first split up it got so bad that she actually ended up with Bell’s palsy and a lot of people around her are concerned about it coming back again.</p>
<p>‘She simply cannot move forward or properly recover while this [court case] is still hanging over her. Everyone can see the toll it’s taking on her and fear the stress is making her sick. She looks so frail; all the vitality has been drained from her. She’s trying her best to keep forging on but she’s not in good shape and there’s a growing sense of fear that it’s only going to get worse.’</p>
<p>It’s now been ten years since <a href="https://heatworld.com/celebrity/news/brad-pitt-angelina-jolie-shiloh-name-change/">Angelina filed for divorce from Brad in 2016</a>, but their public battle is far from over as the pair gear up for yet another court showdown next year.</p>
<p>The former couple's divorce was finalised in December 2024, but Brad’s dispute with Angelina over the sale of her share of their French estate and award-winning winery to a Russian billionaire is still rumbling on, with Brad’s team previously requesting to see Angelina’s private messages in relation to the purchase, which he is adamant he did not approve.</p>
<p>Now Brad’s team have made clear that he does not want to delay the next court date over fears that they could lose potential key witnesses due to death and illness, following the passing of Angelina’s former business manager Terry Bird.</p>
<p>The FI actor’s team also claim that their dispute is preventing Brad from ‘the quiet enjoyment of his home in France’ after what he claims has been a ‘hostile takeover’ by the Oligarch Angelina had sold her share to.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the source says this latest court move and the indication that she is trying to halt their trial has left Angelina feeling ‘exhausted’.</p>
<p>We’re told, ‘It would be bad enough if Brad was just trying to litigate this in court but at least as she sees it, he’s also on this never-ending quest to destroy her reputation. And this latest court move has only reinforced that feeling because from her side it looks like he’s trying to flip the narrative and paint her as the one that's dragging things out, when she and her team insist it’s the complete opposite.</p>
<p>‘And it’s not as though this is something she can just hand off to her lawyers, she's constantly got to weigh in, it seems like there's something she needs to handle every day, it’s beyond exhausting for her.’</p>
<p>In November, emails that had been allegedly sent from Angelina to her manager also detail her fears over falling ill over the stress caused by the on-going trial. In one alleged exchange she writes, ‘I honestly feel I am getting sick from worry.’</p>
<p>Further reports have also alleged that Angelina herself is looking for a ‘truce’ with Brad, with her reported health anxiety, which follows the loss of her beloved mother to cancer in 2007, said to have been made worse over the past few years.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Shocking-truth-after-Angelina-Jolies-%E2%80%98new-face-sparked-wild-conspiracy-theory.2.jpg?q=80' alt='Angelina Jolie-Pitt and Brad Pitt attend the WSJ. Magazine 2015 Innovator Awards at the Museum of Modern Art' /><p>In 2023, the Oscar winner also revealed how much stress can have a detrimental effect on her health after sharing that she had suffered with Bell’s Palsy – a neurological disorder which temporarily paralyses one side of the face and causes it to appear droopy and lopsided - ahead of her divorce.</p>
<p>‘My body reacts very strongly to stress. My blood sugar goes up and down. I suddenly had Bell’s palsy six months before my divorce,’ she told WSJ Magazine at the time.<br>
Another source had also previously added, ‘Ange is filled with fear the negative energy will cause deadly diseases, including cancer…She's sent Brad messages through a mediator asking for a truce. She wants to move on with her life.'</p>
<p>And after revealing earlier this year that she plans to move abroad and spend more time in Cambodia following Vivienne and Knox’s 18th birthday this July - which marks the end of her existing custody agreement with Brad, which stipulates that she must be based primarily in LA – the source says Angelina may now be forced to delay her plan amidst mounting legal costs.</p>
<p>We’re told, ‘She needs a proper break but she's to such a huge workload and she certainly can't afford to take time off, not with the never-ending legal bills. On top of that there’s this massive move she’s planning, which should be an exciting new chapter but even that's turned into another source of pressure because of all the logistics.</p>
<p>‘It all adds up and it’s clearly worn her down. People around her are genuinely worried, especially given her health history. The fact is, she’s not someone who can afford to be under this kind of strain long-term. She has an incredibly strong sense of justice, which is admirable. But at this point it really seems like the cost of winning this is way too high.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>He’s been happily married to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-dangerous-new-move-netflix-snub/">Meghan Markle</a> for almost eight years - but the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/prince-harry-biggest-fear-king-charles-ghosts-him/">Duke of Sussex</a> recently found himself in hot water when his historic, flirty messages to a newspaper reporter came to light.</p>
<p>And despite the messages dating back 14 years ago, sources say the situation has plunged Harry’s marriage into crisis – as Meghan, 44, is now worried that other women may come out of the woodwork.</p>
<p>The insider shares, ‘This isn’t a new concern for Meghan – she’s seen firsthand how naïve and trusting Harry can be. All it’d take is one wrong word to the wrong person, and that could spiral into a full-blown scandal before he even realises what’s happened.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2257191473-1-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Harry has been locked in a privacy battle with Associated Newspapers' /><p>‘The messages have made Meghan more certain that she’s right to keep watch over Harry. It might sound like she’s paranoid, but she’s simply looking out for their common good. They can’t afford even the smallest slip up – she’s furious this has happened at precisely the time their critics are chomping at the bit for any reason to come after them, and if Harry goes down, so does Meghan. His perfect family man image is a big part of her branding, and one mistake could instantly tarnish that.’</p>
<p>Harry is currently locked in a privacy battle, claiming that the Daily Mail and the Mail on Sunday repeatedly used methods such as phone hacking to obtain stories. Associated Newspapers have firmly denied the accusations.</p>
<p>In January, Harry, 41, insisted to the court that ‘I am not friends with any of these journalists’. But embarrassingly intimate messages between Harry and journalist Charlotte Griffiths were unveiled earlier this month. After they met at a country house party in December 2011 – hosted by his friend Arthur Landon – Harry reached out to Charlotte via Facebook Messenger. The reporter – then working at the Mail on Sunday – responded, ‘Hello Mr Mischief... What a fun weekend of naughtiness – can't we all get up to no good in the countryside every [weekend] damn it?? Smooches, CG String.’</p>
<p>In messages – which we have printed verbatim – dated January 2012, Griffiths told ‘H Bomb’ that she was watching Sentebale snow polo in Klosters and asked, ‘Does that mean you're here […]’.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-13-at-14.54.26.png?q=80' alt='Harry swapped messages with journalist Charlotte back in 2011' /><p>In response, the profile attributed to Harry called Griffiths ‘sugar’ and told her he wished he could be there. He then said, ‘I would have been there playing and then drinking u under the table,obvi!! [...] wish I could have been there ….. especially now that you're there! Dou ever work?!!</p>
<p>‘Plan on getting back in the mix for Feb! U best be around ... ? Hope you're really well Griff ... Miss our movie snuggles!! I'm off comms all week incase u think I'm being rude, keep me posted xxx xxx xxx.’</p>
<p>Despite the exchanges, Harry told the court, ‘I had no idea that she was a journalist at that time’, adding, ‘When I found out [Griffiths was working at the Daily Mail], I cut contact with her.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2211633301-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Meghan has put her foot down' /><p>And the whole debacle has made Meghan feel as though she must enforce rules for their upcoming tour of Australia.</p>
<p>‘Meghan worries about Harry embarrassing them both,’ the insider continues. ‘Harry wants to have a night out with friends when they’re in Australia, who are raring to catch up. Meghan’s fine with that, as long as it’s limited to a civilised dinner and a glass or two of wine – but she’s adamant that anything more is a recipe for disaster. Meghan wants him home with her at a reasonable hour, and the same goes for when he’s in London. She won’t monitor him, but a FaceTime check in when he gets home is something she expects.’</p>
<p>The Sussexes are set to step foot in Australia this week – their first trip to the continent since 2018. It is believed that Harry will visit friends from his month-long stay in 2015 at a Darwin army barracks with the Australian Defence Force.</p>

<p>The insider adds, ‘The fact that he was introduced by his close friends to Charlotte proves he has to take extreme precautions. She’s not saying his friends were purposely trying to set him up, but it makes her uncomfortable. Meghan isn’t trying to cut him off from his circle, but there’s too much at stake for him to be mixing with anyone who hasn’t been fully vetted.</p>
<p>‘Harry claims he understands and, for the most part, does as she asks – but there’s a big part of him that finds it pretty stifling to be so controlled. It’s something they’re doing their best to navigate, but it’s tricky.’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>I don’t know about you, but I could really do with a holiday right now. If you’re one of the lucky ones who’s already got a trip planned but not sure where to start with your sunshine wardrobe, the <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/l/women/holiday-shop">M&#x26;S holiday shop</a> is exactly where you need to be looking. It’s packed with everything you could possibly want from your next escape, from breezy linen staples to throw on and go <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-dresses/">dresses</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-tummy-control-swimwear/">standout swimwear</a>.</p>
<p>We may be heading into spring right now, but after what feels like endless cold snaps and grey, rainy days here in the UK, I’m sure I’m not the only one more than ready for sunglasses and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-marks-and-spencer-sandals/">sandals</a> season. And while the trip away itself is the main event, we all know there’s another part of going away that’s just as exciting: the outfit planning. Maybe it’s the lighter fabrics, the brighter colours, or the way everything feels easier when we’re packing for sunshine instead of layering up against the wind. And if there’s one place that does holiday clothes really well, it’s M&#x26;S. Their <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/what-to-buy-at-marks-and-spencer-new-in/">new-in pages</a> are full of warm-weather buys.</p>
<p>It might only be April, but if you've got some sunny escapes on your calendar for spring, or even just a summer vacay pencilled in for later this year, now’s the time to start building that dream holiday <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/family/money/best-carry-on-luggage/">suitcase</a>. M&#x26;S’ linen offering in particular is SO strong this season (and to be honest, it is every single year). Think relaxed trousers, easy shirts and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-womens-co-ords/">chic co-ords</a> that work just as well for sightseeing as they do for cocktails on the beach.</p>
<p>M&#x26;S have long been known for quality pieces that feel fashion-forward yet still affordable; their holiday shop is no exception. Whether you’re jetting off in a few weeks or just manifesting warmer days, M&#x26;S has got you covered. I’ll be updating this article with M&#x26;S’ freshest ‘fits as and when they drop, so, other than printing off your boarding pass, you’ll be ready to go from the minute you book. Happy holidays!</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Ski holidays have become something of a celebrity family staple, with stars regularly swapping red carpets for snowy slopes. From Stacey Solomon sharing cosy, snow-dusted family moments to David Beckham and Victoria Beckham enjoying stylish alpine getaways with their children, the appeal is clear: fresh air, adventure, and plenty to keep all ages entertained. And while there are many resorts to choose from, Val d’Isère stands out as one of the best for families looking for more than just great skiing.</p>
<p>The skiing here is world-class, but what really reassures parents is the exceptional quality of instructors available for children. The ski schools are incredibly well organised, with patient, multilingual instructors who specialise in building confidence while keeping lessons fun. Whether your child is stepping into skis for the first time or already navigating more challenging runs, the teaching is engaging and tailored. Many instructors incorporate games and small group dynamics, so children are not only learning quickly but also making friends along the way.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Family_ski_instructor_france-scaled.jpeg?q=80' alt='family skiing' /><p>What truly elevates Val d’Isère for families, however, is the breadth of activities off the piste. A standout experience is chocolate making at La Folie Douce. While better known for its high-energy après-ski, it also offers family-friendly experiences where children can get hands-on creating their own sweet treats. It’s the perfect indoor escape after a morning in the snow and adds a creative twist to the holiday.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/folie_douce_france-scaled.jpeg?q=80' alt='family skiing Val D'Isere' /><p>Ice skating is another highlight, and the rink at Patinoire de Val d’Isère is a must-visit. With both indoor and outdoor options, it’s an easy and magical activity to slot into the day. Skating with a backdrop of snow-covered mountains—especially in the early evening—adds a real sense of winter charm, and it’s just as enjoyable for non-skiers as it is for those coming off the slopes. There's also an incredible Centre Aquasportif which boasts a gigantic swimming pool with gentle child-friendly rapids and every Sunday there is an inflatable obstacle course on one of the pools for hours of fun. If the adults needs a break, there are hot tubs and saunas attached to the main family area.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/swimming_pool_family_ski_trip-scaled.jpeg?q=80' alt='swimming pool Val D'Isere' /><p>Food is another area where the resort shines, with plenty of family-friendly restaurants to choose from. In the village, La Fromagerie serves up classic Savoyard dishes like fondue and raclette—perfect for sharing and guaranteed to be a hit with kids. For something more casual, Le Garage delivers simple, crowd-pleasing options in a laid-back setting.</p>
<p>All in all, Val d’Isère offers far more than just a ski holiday. With its combination of excellent instruction, imaginative off-slope activities, and genuinely family-friendly dining, it’s a destination that ensures every member of the family is entertained from morning through to evening.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Summer holidays are edging closer, and our group chats are starting to fill up with flight confirmations and packing lists, but there’s one thing on our mind: our luggage has seen better days. We'd absolutely LOVE to be that girl rocking up to the airport with a sleek Rimowa case, but that four-figure price tag isn’t exactly budget-friendly.</p>
<p>However, that doesn't mean we can't recreate the trend on our budget. Dunelm has just released a new <a href="https://www.dunelm.com/product/constellation-cabin-suitcase-with-front-opening-1000282719" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">silver Constellation Cabin Suitcase</a> that is a great dupe of the Rimowa and is perfect for purchasing just in time for our summer vacays. The best part about it? It costs less than 10% of the price of a real Rimowa cabin case, which will set you back £1,070. At just £60, this Dunelm dupe is such an affordable alternative.</p>
<p>With its sleek silver finish and linear shell design, it gives off that polished, minimalist aesthetic that luxury luggage brands are known for. One of the standout features is the clever front-opening compartment. This practical detail is designed to give quick access to laptops and tablets, making it especially handy for security checks. Whether you’re travelling for work or squeezing in a weekend city break, having easy access to your essentials makes the airport experience far less stressful.</p>
<p>The case also boasts a durable hard-shell exterior, helping protect your belongings while maintaining that structured, high-end look. Much like pricier alternatives, the ridged design not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also adds strength and resilience, meaning it’s built to withstand the inevitable bumps and scrapes of travel.</p>
<p>Then there’s the smooth manoeuvrability. The Dunelm suitcase includes 360-degree spinner wheels, meaning it glides easily in any direction - ideal when you’re weaving through busy airports or rushing to your gate. Combined with its <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/family/money/best-carry-on-luggage/">compact cabin size</a> and lightweight feel, it’s clearly designed with convenience in mind. The telescopic handle also helps make navigating terminals effortless, adding to that premium travel feel.</p>
<p>The resemblance to luxury aluminium cases isn’t just about looks either. The minimalist colour palette and structured shell give it that “quiet luxury” travel aesthetic. It’s polished, professional and versatile - equally suited to city breaks, work trips or that bucket list summer trip. It’s easy to see why shoppers are calling it a convincing dupe.</p>
<p>Our way of looking at this dupe is that it means you can upgrade your luggage and still have plenty left over for holiday outfits, airport coffees and maybe even a cheeky upgrade to extra legroom. A win is a win!</p>

<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-spring-jackets/">Spring jacket styles</a> are a lighter layer to incorporate over the top of your looks, keeping you moderately warm in the shade and dry in any unpredictable showers. With polka dot being the biggest print of the season so far, it only makes sense to merge the two for an on-trend look.</p>
<p>Despite currently trending, polka dots are an enduring print that never truly goes out of style, meaning you can wear your polka dot jacket on repeat. Get clever with styling and go for a monochrome look underneath to make the jacket really stand out, or get bold and playful with polka dots from head to toe.</p>

<p>The day has come for us to start googling new names as it has been reported the BBC bosses have their sights set on an American pro who they hope will be the 'new <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/giovanni-pernice-strictly-come-dancing/">Giovanni Pernice</a>'.</p>
<p>The dancer that the big wigs have been eying up is D'Angelo Castro, from the US version of Strictly aka Dancing with the Stars.</p>
<p>'Strictly bosses are on the lookout for fresh faces and love the look of D’angelo, he ticks all the boxes,' a source told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/38793125/strictly-bosses-want-hunky-us-dancer-new-giovanni-pernice/">The Sun</a>.</p>
<p>Apparently, D'Angelo is popular over in the states and has a strong social media following, something it has bene reported the BBC are wanting from the new dancers.</p>
<p>'They hope he could be the new Giovanni Pernice,' they added.</p>
<p>We assume they mean regarding the fact Giovanni was a popular dancer who won alongside Rose Ayling-Ellis in 2011 and made it to the final three times alongside Faye Tozer, Georgia May Foote and Debbie McGee.</p>
<p>Giovanni is no longer on Strictly after <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/giovanni-pernice-scandal/">Amanda Abbingdon filed bullying claims</a> against him, the actress was not alone with Laura Whitmore and Ranvir Singh also talking about Giovanni's questionable behaviour.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2023/05/giovanni-pernice-strictly.jpg?q=80' alt='Giovanni' /><p>Giovanni ended up quitting Strictly after six of the 17 allegations from Amanda were upheld, with the BBC offering her an apology.</p>
<p>'We have assessed the complaints and we have upheld some, but not all, of the complaints made,' they declared.</p>
<p>'We want to apologise to Amanda Abbington and to thank her for coming forward and taking part. We know this would not have been an easy thing to do.'</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Referred to as 'the dress that we can't keep in' by Nobody's Child themselves, <a href="https://www.nobodyschild.com/products/white-polka-dot-bandeau-felicity-midi-dress-d250469wht" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Felicity Midi Dress</a> has had a revival this year with some stunning new colours and prints that we can't wait to wear. Having seen it all over the internet, and on television personality <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/nobodys-child-louise-thompson-edit/">Louise Thompson</a>, we can firmly say it's <em>the</em> dress to wear for spring and summer.</p>
<p>The Felicity Dress has been all over our Instagram feeds for the past two summers, characterised by a bandeau neckline that can easily be worn as intended or with its included straps. It has ruching to the waist that flares out into an A-line midi skirt, making it a chic, timeless and endlessly flattering number that you can effortlessly dress up or down. It's just SO good that it sells out every year.</p>
<p>Honestly, we love a dress that stands the test of time. Don't just think of it as following a trend, think of it as an investment buy you'll keep wearing year after year because that's exactly what it is. The fact that Nobody's Child keeps bringing it back year after year cements its status as a fashion icon.</p>
<p>And if that isn't proof enough of its popularity, there are now many versions of the Felicity you can shop, from a reverse version of the OG to a fun abstract floral print and bold block colours. Which one will earn a spot in your wardrobe this year?</p>
<h2>SHOP: The Nobody's Child Felicity Midi Dress</h2>
<p>Styling-wise, you could wear it as your next <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-wedding-guest-dresses/">wedding guest dress</a> with a pair of heels, a statement clutch and an updo. Aside from that, the dress will seamlessly transition to strolls in the park or pub garden drinks with a denim jacket and a pair of sandals. Personally? We'd most look forward to wearing this dress on holiday under some much-needed Mediterranean sunshine. But the beauty of the dress is how it can carry you from occasion to occasion.</p>
<p>The print that we have our eye on? The white polka dot number. Polka dots are all in this season, so it's no surprise the dress is in high demand. Selling alarmingly fast, there are only a few of the sizes available left on site. So, our advice? Catch it while you can.</p>
<p>If polka dots aren't your thing, the dress also comes in a solid red, a <a href="https://www.nobodyschild.com/products/white-broderie-anglaise-felicity-midi-dress-d255565wht" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">white broderie anglaise</a> number and a floral print, too. So, ready to shop <em>the</em> dress of the season? Here's where to get the highly popular <a href="https://www.nobodyschild.com/products/white-polka-dot-bandeau-felicity-midi-dress-d250469wht" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Felicity Midi Dress</a>.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>The polka dot has quickly earned itself a place as the official print of spring 2026, coming in as one of the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/trend-report/">hottest trends in fashion</a> this season. Aside from <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-polka-dot-dresses/">polka dot dresses</a>, polka dot skirts and even polka dot jackets, the print has been spotted on fashion fans in the form of the best polka dot trousers and jeans. In fact, fashion platform <a href="https://www.shopltk.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LTK</a> has confirmed that there has been a 900% increase in searches for polka dot jeans as of late.</p>
<p>As the weather gets a little brighter, we love incorporating a print into our wardrobes. And, you can't get any more timeless than the polka dot, can you? It trends year after year, comes in a multitude of colours and can be worn with many different options in your existing wardrobe. Just take a breezy pair of polka dot trousers, or a modern pair of casual polka dot jeans. Either will be sure to transform any look, and if you're tired of blue denim jeans? Why not switch it up with a polka dot print?</p>
<p>Combining the classic, almost vintage-inspired print with a laidback, casual pair of trousers or jeans makes the print all the more wearable. It becomes the focal point of your outfit, and you can easily pare back your look with plain tees and trainers, making the jeans or trousers effortless to style. We've also seen a rise in searches for capri pants, so merging this style with polka dots is a total recipe for style success.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It's been a couple of months since that chaotic <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> Christmas dinner which resulted in a p*ssed off, tux-clad <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley/">Freddie Bentley</a> exiting a lavish estate fireworks display like he was wrapping a series of Made of Chelsea instead of TOWIE (and now it appears he's done the same thing while <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/missing-cast-vietnam-filming/">filming in Vietnam</a>, but we'll get into that in a bit).</p>
<p>The <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-christmas-episode/">2025 TOWIE Christmas special</a> left a <em>lot</em> of storylines wide open for series 37; will <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ella-rae-wise/">Ella Rae Wise</a> and Freddie ever be besties again? Can <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/harry-derbidge-towie/">Harry Derbidge</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/junaid-ahmed/">Junaid Ahmed</a> x <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/joe-blackman/">Joe Blackman</a> ever be friends (spoiler alert: maybe)? Then of course, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/roman-hackett-quits/">half the bloomin' cast ducked out of the series</a> altogether...</p>
<p>We know you have a lot of questions, so allow us to answer as many as we can below...</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/11/towie-christmas.png?q=80' alt='towie christmas special cast' /><h2>When does TOWIE series 37 start?</h2>
<p>TOWIE bosses have confirmed that series 37 will launch on ITV2 and ITVX on on Sunday 26th April at 9pm.</p>
<h2>What will happen on TOWIE series 37?</h2>
<p>The series will open with a cast trip to Vietnam. While we won't know the specifics of the trip drama until it plays out on ITV2, we do know that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/freddie-bentley-vietnam-filming/">Freddie chose to leave the trip early</a> to 'have a breather before everyone else flies home' and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/ella-rae-wise-series-37/">Ella said she had 'no words' to describe this particular work-holiday</a>.</p>
<p>A teaser released by show bosses reveals that Vietnam is 'anything but sailing' for <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-diags/">Diags</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/jodie-wells/">Jodie Wells</a>, while Ella is set to come face-to-face with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dan-edgar-towie/">Dan Edgar</a> once again following their split last year.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/TOWIE-Ella-HL.jpg?q=80' alt='Ella rae wise' /><p>Ella also looks set to attempt to make amends with former bestie Freddie, although <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/dani-imbert/">Dani Imbert</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/livvy-jay/">Livvy Jay</a> clash over Freddie.</p>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/harry-derbidge-junaid-ahmed-friends/">We also think Harry might mend his friendships with his ex Joe and his ex bestie Junaid</a> this series – he seemed pretty friendly with them while filming in Vietnam, so we'll see...</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/09/TOWIE-Harry-2025.jpg?q=80' alt='Harry' /><h2>When did TOWIE series 37 start filming?</h2>
<p>Back in January, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/sophie-kasaei-towie/">Sophie Kasaei</a> told her followers, 'We start filming TOWIE [in] February. A few people are going away, but obviously me and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/jordan-brook/">Jordan [Brook]</a> won't be. So we haven't filmed anything yet. We start filming in February, so it will be after the gender reveal. And then we're filming up until March, so we'll probably be doing loads upon loads of pregnancy-related stuff for TOWIE which will be fun.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/12/the_only_way_is_essex_sr36_ep3_04.jpg?q=80' alt='Jordan and Sophie' /><p>She continued, 'Really really excited for that – and to be with all the mums, like, so many mums are on TOWIE now and all the kids and I love it, I love being around them all. I just can't wait to have my baby and be around them all.'</p>
<h2>Who is on TOWIE series 37?</h2>
<p>As we mentioned, a handful of TOWIE cast members took a step back from the show after the Christmas special, but loads of other Essex faves are still committed to the drama.</p>
<p>It looks like we have <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/new-boys-jonnie-joe-gurie-josh-francis/">some fresh faces joining this series</a>, too – including some troublesome 19-year-old twins and a 24-year-old bricklayer.</p>

<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/series-36/">Series 36</a> took place just before the Christmas special and was - shock of shocks - utter chaos. It all began with a wild AF cast trip to Portugal, where Freddie fell out with virtually everyone over Ella, and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/dan-edgar-towie/">Dan Edgar</a> and Ella were reunited after their break-up, as were <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/elma-pazar/">Elma Pazar</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/sammy-root/">Sammy Root</a>.</p>
<p>Junaid and Joe celebrated a year together and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-saffron-lempriere/">Saffron Lempriere</a> spectacularly fell out with Girl Band causing a serious cast divide (<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/saffron-lempriere-vietnam-trip/">and it appears she's already involved in series 37 drama</a>). <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/amy-childs-towie/">Amy Childs</a>' brother <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/wills-childs/">Wills Childs</a> was also introduced as a new cast member and potential love interest for some of the cast's single ladies.</p>

<p>Here’s a friendly, easy-to-read guide to choosing the right Dyson Airwrap dupe for your hair type because not every tool suits every texture or goal:</p>
<p>First up: <em>know your hair</em>. Think about your natural texture and thickness. Hair varies hugely - fine, thick, straight, wavy, curly or coily - and the best styler for you changes with it. Some dupes lean more towards hot-air curling, others work better as blow-dry brushes or smoothing tools.</p>
<p><strong>Wavy or loose curls</strong></p>
<p>If your hair is wavy or gently curly, look for airflow-based multi-stylers with barrels and smoothing brush attachments. These help enhance texture and create beachy waves or soft bounces without too much heat. Tools like the Shark FlexStyle often come out top in tests for this sort of hair.</p>
<p><strong>Fine or thin hair</strong></p>
<p>Fine or fragile hair can struggle to hold curls, so you might prefer a dupe with gentler heat and strong airflow, plus detachable barrels or soft brush heads. These give you volume and style without frying your strands - and you don’t need the full Dyson Coanda setup to see good results.</p>
<p><strong>Thick, coarse or curly hair</strong></p>
<p>For curly, coily or very thick hair, Airwrap dupes that focus on power, alongside diffuser or strong-bristle brush attachments often work better than simple barrels. They help define curls and minimise frizz more effectively than basic tools, and you’ll see better hold and definition.</p>
<p><strong>What are you styling for?</strong></p>
<p>Think about what look you’re trying to achieve:</p>
<p><strong>Smooth blowouts</strong>: a hot-air brush style tool</p>
<p><strong>Defined curls or waves</strong>: curl barrels or airflow barrels</p>
<p><strong>Volume and body</strong>: round volumising attachments</p>
<p><strong>Quick everyday styling</strong>: versatile multi-use tools</p>

Shark Beauty has nailed it with this dupe - the FlexStyle allows you to dry, style and perfect your hair look regardless of your hair type. Style your hair from wet to dry with the hairdryer attachment to achieve the ultimate blow-dry. Diffuser and round brush are also included to suit all hair types.  

If you're short of time, the hairdryer attachment will be your best friend. We found that our hair dried in under half the time it usually takes, and it was left looking smooth and silky – something that we have found difficult to achieve with other tools. Our only negative was that when using the auto-wrap wands, the tool becomes very long, which can make it tricky to reach the controls. However, the results from the auto-wrap mode are worth it, as it creates soft, natural-looking curls which last.

Think: five different air-powered heads (including the cult 70 mm oval brush) that smooth, volumise and curl without the crazy heat damage. It’s budget-friendly too, under £150 compared to Dyson’s eye-watering £480. You can read more of my thoughts below...  

What I really love is how easy it is (!) One-handed styling, no juggling a brush and dryer, and it’s a lifesaver on busy mornings or when feeling a little fragile. Plus, the diffuser-style 32 mm curler is great for gently stretching curls, and the oval barrel gives that classic bouncy blow-dry look. It’s not perfect, though. It’s on the chunky side, so not ideal for travelling light, and it’s a bit louder than I expected. But for everyday styling at home, it can help give you salon-like results for way less money. If you’re after glossy, frizz-free styles without frying your hair, this tool’s a winner.

Users wanting versatility and a budget price tag will get along with this dupe. Powered by Coanda Technology for effortless curls and Hi-Pro Ion Ceramic for frizz-free, hydrated hair, it's no wonder this is my favourite. I enjoy the ion and ceramic tech when styling my hair. As a gal with very curly hair, I appreciate when a heat tool has some extra help in minimising damage and frizz, and boosting shine.  

I'm still yet to master the Coanda hair wrap tech, but I'm sure it'll be amazing once I get the hang of it. I use the detangling brush beforehand religiously, and it helps me style a little better. The dryer attachment is quick and efficient, even for my long, thick hair. In fact, the six different attachments are so useful and easy to swap over. Adaptable for various hair types and styling needs, the Belissima Prodigy features custom airflow and temperature control. Not only that, I love how compact, lightweight and travel-ready it is - with the stylish, soft carry bag. Everything slots in well.  

What did I love about this multi-styler? Not only is it friendly for a beginner (me), but it also provides salon-quality hair at home. It's an affordable alternative to Dyson, with a similar Coanda effect tech. I found it super quick, and my hair looks great, healthy, with little heat damage. However, I'm still getting the hang of it. I did notice more frizz compared to straighteners, but I'm overall happy with this product and its potential. I'd say it's ideal for medium to long hair types, anyone wanting a versatile all-in-one solution and those with limited space for multiple tools.

This 7-in-1 kit packs high-speed airflow, ionic frizz-fighting magic and those dreamy, bouncy curls for a fraction of the price. Yay! As someone with curly, slightly chaotic hair, I was actually impressed by this pick. With the interchangeable heads, it’s got everything you need to dry, smooth, straighten or add some volume without breaking a sweat.  

Using it felt way easier than I expected. My hair literally wraps itself around the barrels thanks to the airflow. Within minutes, I had glossy, soft curls with no crispy ends. It’s lightweight to hold, surprisingly quiet, and the pause button is genius (why don’t more tools have this?). Plus, the attachments feel sturdy and don’t snag your hair. As for negatives...  

It’s not perfect. There’s no exact temperature display, so be a bit careful if your hair’s prone to getting a little crispy. It also works best on damp hair, not fully dry, so I would suggest keeping a spray bottle handy if needed. Look at me, being all professional. But honestly? For an Airwrap dupe at this price, it’s a total win. Less heat damage, more shine, and it won’t take long to get the hang of it.

It’s basically a salon in one sleek tool. Its standout feature? Deffo the Auto AirCurl technology that whips up fast, effortless curls without the faff. I’m also obsessed with how quiet it is (!) No more blasting your eardrums when you’re trying to listen to your playlist while styling. With its curlers and multiple attachments, you can dry, curl, volumise and smooth with one tool, all while keeping heat damage low and your hair glossy.  

Another WIN is how lightweight it feels. The Atmos motor is only a fraction of the weight of traditional hair dryers, but it still dries up to 30% faster. Love that! Not only is it gentle, but it comes with three heat and speed settings plus a cold shot button, so my hair feels protected and shiny instead of frazzled. However, the box is a little bulky; I would have loved a travel tote for this product.

There are four temperatures, including a cool shot to set your hair, as well as three speed settings. This air styler is a one-stop shop when it comes to hair styling and has made us swap out our multiple tools for just this product, as it does the job so effectively.  

Creating long-lasting volume is helped by drying your hair with the hair dryer attachment until it’s about 90% dry, then using the air wrap attachments to style, and the cool shot button to set. This creates a full, bouncy look that our fine hair hasn’t been able to hold in the past. The bristles of the brush attachments are hard and feel quite rough against the scalp when trying to create volume at the root, so we found that we avoided using them in our hair styling routine. The SilkyAir comes in a stylish black storage case; however would be inconvenient for use during travel.

There are three heat and speed settings to help you create your desired look. A writer on our team was lucky enough to test the BondiBoost Everlast Airstyler - and here's what they thought...  

Not only are the attachments easy to change (clicking into place to lock), but there are also three fabulous speed and heat settings. The ceramic coating will protect your hair, but it will get very hot, meaning that you have to allow for the attachments to cool down before changing them (which can be annoying if you want to swap between the left and right curling wands quickly). However, the styling stayed in place really well (we found around ten seconds of heat and a quick blast of cold was perfect for bob-length hair), and the tools allowed for various styles, from sleek to volumised.

Complete with six attachments, the AERIS Multi-Styler dries and styles your hair in a multitude of ways. There's no need to pick up the tongs - this hair tool provides every attachment you need to create your desired curl. It speeds up drying and styling while maintaining control, and thanks to the ionic tech and lightweight design, you can easily minimise frizz and achieve smooth results.  

Curious about what users think? Here’s the scoop: this Beauty Works multi-styler earns glowing reviews for its ability to dry hair quickly while creating a range of styles, from bouncy blowouts to long-lasting curls, all with a shiny, frizz-free finish. Reviewers – particularly those with thick, wavy, or frizz-prone hair – love its user-friendly design, versatile attachments, and adjustable heat and speed settings. Though it has small drawbacks, the overwhelming consensus is highly positive. Some reviews are unconvinced that the tool works well on thick hair. Others mention that it doesn't hold their hair as well. Regardless, many still describe it as a high-quality yet affordable tool that delivers good results at home.

Although this must-have brush set doesn't offer a Dyson like Airwrap tool, there are six different attachments to create versatile styles: a Vent Brush to dry hair from wet to damp, a Straight Brush to smooth and prevent frizz, a Large Paddle Brush to detangle and massage the scalp, a 32mm Round Brush for tighter curls and shorter hair, a 40mm Round Brush for big, bouncy curls and volume, and an Oval Brush for extra lift.
With two heat settings (cool and warm), a cool-touch tip and an easy-release button, it's a great pick.  

Users love its versatility, value and ease of use, with many noting quicker drying times, reduced frizz and smoother, shinier hair. It’s especially popular with users who have thick, curly or frizz-prone hair, and several reviewers highlight its lightweight feel, making styling less tiring. However, some mention drawbacks: attachments that get hot after use, a learning curve for curling, and a wish for smaller brush options. But, overall, customers see it as an affordable salon-quality alternative to a Dyson.

What's not to love? Create bounce and volume in your hair in seconds. Did we mention it's perfect for all hair types? Plus, it's easy to use...  

Whether wet or dry, your hair can achieve salon-worthy curls, thanks to the hot brush and heated comb. Not only is it said to work on all hair types, including thick, frizzy and curly, but it's loved for its reduction in styling time. Perfect if you're in a rush or haven't got much time, in general, to do your hair. Handy, right? It's said to be particularly helpful for those who struggle with regular hairdryers.  

Though good for money, there are a few common criticisms that we'd better mention. Some find it a little tiring to hold, and there are concerns about it being left on (no auto safety cut off). Not only can it run very hot (which is not abnormal for a hair tool), but expect to practice a lot (!) Overall, it's a good value for money dupe of the Airwrap, providing support for styling, though it is not as refined.

The four attachments allow you to tailor your hair look depending on your mood. Looking for silky soft waves or bouncy curls? The BaByliss Air Style 1000 is one to add to your shopping basket. It comes with a drying nozzle, a volumising thermal brush for a little lift and shape, a conical barrel for soft curls/waves and a smooth blow-dry paddle brush for a sleek finish. All of the tools you'll need to achieve a bouncy, blowout-style look, from drying to smoothing to shaping. What are reviews saying?  

Most customers are really impressed with the Air Style 1000. They love how it can dry, smooth, curl and add volume all with one tool, saving time and effort. They like the shiny, frizz-free finish it gives, comparing it to much pricier styling tools. The different attachments get plenty of praise, too, making it easy to switch up looks. That said, a few users mention it feels a bit plasticky or can overheat, but overall, the reviews are positive, with many calling it a great-value alternative to salon-style products.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Every summer, M&#x26;S's <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/linen-rich-wide-leg-trousers/p/clp60636306?color=RASPBERRYMIX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers</a> are so popular that they spend most of the season out of stock. However, the bestselling linen trousers remain in demand all year round, so it makes sense as to why the retailer has just dropped the pair in a new print for 2026.</p>
<p>Featuring an adjustable drawstring waist for total comfort, along with a flattering fit that elongates the frame, the viral trousers come in classic solid colours such as black, white, navy, and beige, as well as stripe variations. <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/what-to-buy-at-marks-and-spencer-new-in/">New in to M&#x26;S</a> is the raspberry mix version, a red and white pinstripe design.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/03/ms-linen-trousers-2.jpg?q=80' alt='m&s-linen-trousers' /><p>The trousers have racked up over 2,000 glowing reviews at M&#x26;S, making them one of the highest-rated trousers on the site. Move over, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/marks-and-spencer-barrel-jeans/">barrel jeans</a>. And you, too, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/marks-and-spencer-carrot-jeans/">carrot jeans.</a> It comes as no surprise that the bestselling linen trousers are selling fast. But what makes them so sought-after?</p>
<p>According to fans of the viral trousers, the main features are the pair's breathability, versatility and, of course, just how flattering they are. One reviewer commented that they bought the white version last year, so they stocked up on the beige colour pre-summer as the style is so easy to wear. Another fan went on to say that the linen trousers are easy to throw on and they go with everything.</p>
<p>Most appropriate for trips abroad or saving for the summer, these striped trousers come in a lightweight, linen-rich material, which makes them a great choice for holidays and beyond. Given their summery feel, you could pair them with a vest top or short-sleeved tee and drape a stylish cardigan over your shoulders when the warmer weather rolls around.</p>
<p>However, for the current climate, and due to the endless styling potential of this pair, you could also dress them for the winter months, too. The black or navy colour options might even serve you for a day in the office. Especially when paired with a blouse, blazer and pair of loafers. Honestly, they're a styling staple that really do it all.</p>
<p>As for the new, trending raspberry mix print? Lean into the red and add some pops of it in throughout your look to tie the print in. With spring on the horizon, it'll only be a matter of time before we'll be seeing the bestselling M&#x26;S linen trousers absolutely everywhere.</p>
<p>A viral favourite of fashion fans and style influencers alike, sizes in <a href="https://www.marksandspencer.com/linen-rich-wide-leg-trousers/p/clp60636306?color=RASPBERRYMIX" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">M&#x26;S's Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers</a> are always selling out fast. So, you have two options: you can either snap them up now, or wait for a restock in your favourite colour and shop them when they're back in stock.</p>
<p>Personally, we'd recommend getting them in your basket as soon as possible, as sizes famously sell out alarmingly fast. The new raspberry mix version is currently selling by the minute, so if you love the new design just as much as we do, you'd better act fast.</p>

<p>The reality star had appeared to find her happy ending with Clark and had even previously <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/laura-anderson-clark-robertson-baby-wedding/">revealed plans to expand her brood and walk down the aisle</a> with her fellow Scot. Sadly though, that wasn’t meant to be, with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/laura-anderson-breaks-silence-clark-robertson-split/">Laura admitting she’d ‘made the difficult decision for Clark and I to part ways’</a>.</p>
<p>Now, a few weeks on from the split, Laura has shared a cryptic post about ‘cheating’.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/clark-robertson.jpg?q=80' alt='Clark Robertson' /><p><em><strong>Obsessed with celeb outfits, lifestyle tips and the latest showbiz news?</strong></em> <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong><em>Click here</em></strong></a> <em><strong>to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</strong></em></p>
<p>The <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2018/">Love Island 2018</a> star reshared a quote which read, ‘Why do people cheat on queens for clowns?</p>
<p>‘Because a palace has rules but the circus is a free for all.’</p>
<p>Laura shared the post without any other comment, so it’s not clear exactly what she’s referring to.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/laura-anderson-cheating.jpg?q=80' alt='Laura Anderson's Instagram post about cheating' /><p>It was first reported that<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/laura-anderson-clark-robertson-split/">Laura and Clark had split</a> last month. She later broke her silence on the split and told her Instagram followers, ‘To clarify recent speculation (the joys).</p>
<p>‘I have made the difficult decision for Clark and I to part ways. Trust and respect have been lost within the relationship.</p>
<p>‘It’s time for me to accept that and move forward.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/laura-anderson.jpg?q=80' alt='Laura Anderson' /><p>In December, Laura opened up about her relationship with Clark in an exclusive interview with Closer magazine. She told us, 'People message me all the time saying how happy they are for me and how lovely Clark seems, it means so much that people are genuinely happy for me.</p>
<p>'Clark is the sweetest, most respectful man. There is no drama with him, things are just going from strength to strength.’</p>
<p>Laura added, 'I wish I was a cool cucumber, but I’m really hoping he proposes soon!'</p>

<h2>Who has Helen Flanagan dated?</h2>
<h3>Scott Sinclair</h3>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/helen-flanagan-scott-sinclair.jpg?q=80' alt='Helen Flanagan and Scott Sinclair' /><p>Helen was in a relationship with footballer Scott for 13 years after meeting in 2009 when she was 19 years old. They share three children together; daughters Matilda and Delilah, and son Charlie. The couple got engaged in 2018 when Helen was pregnant with their second child, but rumours that they'd split began swirling in 2022 when Helen was pictured without their engagement ring. <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/helen-flanagan-scott-sinclair-split/">Their relationship came to an end</a> after hitting a 'rough patch', with Helen later revealing Scott 'didn't understand' her OCD or mental health.</p>
<p>'He didn't try to understand really, but he's not a bad guy. He had a lot of his own stuff going on,' she said on the Life of Bryony podcast. 'But I felt like he wasn't there for me a lot with those kind of things. I think that was one of the reasons we broke down.'</p>
<h3>David Haye</h3>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/helen-flanagan-david-haye.jpg?q=80' alt='Helen Flanagan and David Haye' /><p>Helen and David first met in 2012 when they appeared on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! together, but just over a decade later they found themselves at the centre of rumours <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/helen-flangan-opens-up-david-haye-throuple/">they were in a 'throuple'</a> girlfriend Sian Osborne. Earlier this year, Helen opened up about the romance in her memoir and revealed she'd had her heart broken. Describing how David had got in contact after seeing her Ann Summers shoot, Helen explained, 'I asked if he still had a girlfriend. He said he did, but that it was an open relationship. For me, that was a no-no – I would never do anything to hurt another girl. But he persisted, asking whether I’d found anyone else since Scott. I told him I hadn’t. "You’re a classy queen," he replied.’</p>
<p>The pair met up in a London hotel, which Helen said was 'an amazing night'. She added, 'He’d made me feel like I was the most beautiful girl in the world.’ Despite David's best efforts, Helen refused to join him and Sian in a throuple. She shared an on/off relationship with the boxer, but things came to an end when she gifted him a bracelet for his birthday and he told her, 'I can’t take it. All I want from you is your body – that’s enough for me.'</p>
<h3>Robbie Talbot</h3>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/helen-flanagan-robbie-talbot.jpg?q=80' alt='Helen Flanagan and Robbie Talbot' /><p>During her stint on Celebs Go Dating in 2024, Helen admitted that she had a secret boyfriend. Although it was against the rules for the celebs to date outside the agency, the relationship experts let Helen's boyfriend - former pro footballer Robbie - join her on the show after she admitted she was in love. The pair went on to date for just over a year, with Robbie even briefly moving into Helen's home. Sadly though, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/helen-flanagan-agony-robbie-talbot-split/">they split in May 2025</a>. 'They want different things in life. She has just landed a new acting job and is trying to juggle work projects with the kids,' a source told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/35106397/helen-flanagan-splits-robbie-talbot-relationship/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Sun</a> at the time.</p>

<h2>SU2C 2026: Episode 4</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2023/09/Alison-Hammond-SU2C-4.png?q=80' alt='Alison Hammond SU2C 4' /><p>With the vibrant red colour and subtle pops of pink around the leopard print, we're pretty sure Alison is wearing a skirt from Scamp &#x26; Dude, but it's no longer in stock. She's paired that with a black top and a puff-sleeve denim jacket, origins unknown! But don't worry, we've got similar options for you.</p>
<h2>SU2C 2026: Episode 3</h2>

She wore a rust-coloured co-ord set, covered in tropical palms from Next. Sadly, the trousers from her two-piece set are completely sold out, and there are limited sizes left in the <a href="https://www.next.co.uk/style/su381301/at3059" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Brown/Navy Palm Print V-Neck Collared Satin Shirt</a>, so I’ve found an alternative.</p>
<h2>SU2C 2026: Episode 2</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2023/09/SU2C-Bake-Off-Alison-ep2.jpg?q=80' alt='SU2C Bake Off Alison ep2' /><p>A new week and a new amazing celebrity lineup (a Molly-Mae AND JoJo Siwa appearance? Obsessed). However, it looks like Alison is staying loyal to her leopard print, this time sporting the <a href="https://www.debenhams.com/product/monsoon-leona-leopard-print-maxi-dress-brown_p-b3713151-a68a-431d-bcfc-ba9369760df2?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Monsoon Leona Leopard Print Maxi Dress</a>.</p>

I believe she's wearing an animal print number from <a href="https://scampanddude.com/products/neutral-jaguar-shirred-zip-detail-midi-dress" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Scamp &#x26; Dude</a>. She’s been loyal to the brand for years, and it’s easy to see why.</p>

The American bombshell joined alongside the likes of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/sher-suarez/">Sher Suarez</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/yamen-sanders/">Yamen Sanders</a> but she lasted less than a week, before being dumped alongside <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-curtis-pritchard/">Curtis Pritchard</a>.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/love-island-kyra-lizama-all-stars-2026.jpg?q=80' alt='kyra lizama love island all stars 2026' /><p>Once they were back in the real world, it didn't take long for Curtis to end things with Kyra and rather publicly, might we add. Apparently the dancer told Kyra, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/curtis-pritchard-kyra-lizama-split/">'don't bother' visiting him in the UK</a>and not long after they left the villa Curtis' soon to be sister-in-law was asking on Instagram who wanted to go on a date with him.</p>
<p>Like the icon she is, Kyra commented 'Ouch lol,' on the Reel, with Sher and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/imani-wheeler/">Imani Wheeler</a> also jumping to her defence because girls support girls.</p>
<p>But so long Curtis is what we have to say, because the Hawaiian Islander has now been spotted with a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2022/">Love Island 2022</a> hottie and fans are loving it.</p>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/billy-brown-love-island/">Billy Brown,</a> who was a Casa Amor bombshell and coupled up with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/tasha-ghouri-love-island/">Tasha Ghouri</a>, posted a video of himself and Kyra out for food, with the American girlie convincing Billy to eat sushi for the first time.</p>

<p>The clip, which Billy shared on his Instagram grid, is from his KICK account, which for those of you don't know is a live streaming platform not dissimilar to Twitch.</p>
<p>In the snippet Kyra and Billy are at a restaurants looking very cosy indeed and fans are clearly thinking the same.</p>
<p>'I ship 🚢 this ❤️,' a fan wrote, to which Billy replied, '🙌' and sorry but does that not just SCREAM 'We are dating'?</p>
<p>Billy might not be sold on the sushi but fans are definitely sold on this potential new Love Island romance, with people also wishing he had been on All Stars when Kyra was.</p>
<p>'Should’ve went on all stars G 😂,' someone else wrote, with Billy replying with a few laughing emojis.</p>
<p>As far as <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-stars-recoupled/">coupling up outside of the villa</a> goes, is it just us or does everyone else think Kyra and Billy make perfect sense?</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It has been all change in the world of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/strictly-come-dancing-2023/">Strictly Come Dancing</a> in the past few weeks, with professionals either quitting or being reportedly <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/dancers-axed-tiktok-followers/">'axed'</a>.</p>
<p>Of course former hosts <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/tess-daly-claudia-winkleman-quit/">Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepped down</a> from their presenting <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/why-tess-claudia-left/">role at the end of 2025</a> which already meant there would be a HUGE change in 2026.</p>
<p>But just who is still part of the Strictly line-up, in terms of professional dancers that is? And who part of the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/janette-manrara-fleur-east-axed/">rumoured 'mass cull'</a> of 2026?</p>
<h2>Why did Giovanni Pernice leave Strictly?</h2>
<p>It was confirmed that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/strictly-come-dancing/giovanni-pernice-strictly-come-dancing/">Giovanni Pernice</a>, who won the show with Rose Ayling-Ellis in 2021, would not be returning to Strictly when the BBC revealed the 2024 professional line-up. Giovanni was at the centre of an internal BBC probe into 'serious workplace misconduct' after Amanda Abbington complained about him.</p>
<p>Following the investigation, some of Amanda's complaints upheld but he was cleared of the most serious allegations.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2024/09/giovanni-pernice-strictly.jpg?q=80' alt='Giovanni Pernice' /><h2>Why was Graziano Di Prima axed from Strictly?</h2>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/graziano-di-prima-strictly-come-dancing/">Graziano Di Prima</a> was sacked from his role on Strictly in July 2024 amid claims of misconduct while dancing with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a>'s <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/zara-mcdermott-love-island/">Zara McDermott</a> in 2023.</p>
<p>'I deeply regret the events that led to my departure from Strictly. My intense passion and determination to win might have affected my training regime,' he wrote on Instagram.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2024/09/graziano-di-prima-strictly.jpg?q=80' alt='Graziano di Prima' /><p>Graziano was accused of kicking and spitting at Zara and although he has admitted to kicking her, he denies spitting.</p>
<p>'There is never a time when kicking, or any sense of that is right. And he knows that. He knows he's made a mistake. He apologised at the time,' his spokesperson said.</p>

<h2>Kim Kardashian</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-16.00.35_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='No group of butt pics could be complete without Kim K' /><p>Let’s not beat about the bush here. This is a gallery of hot celeb asses, right? So did you really think we were going to pass up on an opportunity to post the goddam Kween of Butts, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kim-kardashian-met-gala-extreme-transformation/">Kim K</a>? Nope. Here she is, folks, posing up a storm on a Mexican beach and showing off what her generous momma gave her with a sexy amount of beach dust clinging to her curves like her fans only wish they could. Ay Caramba!</p>
<h2>Kendall Jenner</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-02-03-at-11.53.13_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Kendall, we might need a sip on your drink, 'cause we're feeling thirsty all over again!' /><p>She once claimed that she wishes people would focus more on her ‘ass’ than the rest of her body. And strutting down the beach looking like this, we can promise you one thing <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/kendall-jenner-helps-maura-higgins-find-man/">Kendall Jenner</a> – WE’RE FOCUSED ON YOUR ASS. Mind you, she was also complaining a few years ago that there were just too many belfies on the ‘net. In an interview, she said, ‘You go through people’s pages and it’s all, like, selfies or their butts. I love a good belfie, don’t get me wrong. I post those every once in a while.’ Want our advice, Kendall? Just keep posting them..!</p>
<h2>Kylie Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-14.38.23_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='These girls really are a triple threat!' /><p>Celebrating its 10th anniversary we’re throwing it back (well, by the looks of it, they were throwing it back too) in this classic sandy cheeked pic from <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kylie-jenner-surgery-horror-face-ruined/">Kylie Jenner</a>’s 19th birthday with pals Hailey (Baldwin) Bieber and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/bradley-cooper-gigi-hadid-wedding-babies/">Bella Hadid</a>.

Just look at the size of her…. HAT. Just goes to show that even if you don’t have faith in the SPF of your lotion, you can still sensibly cover up in the midday sun, while giving fans a cheeky glimpse of where the sun don’t shine. You go, girl!</p>
<h2>Chloe Ferry</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-15.57.57_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='That shore isn't looking so Geordie, but Chloe is looking stunning!' /><p>It certainly looks very different to her native Newcastle – and for British reality star <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/chloe-ferry-bbl-surgery/">Chloe Ferry</a>, this trip to the beach was a world away from the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/geordie-shore-most-iconic-moments/">Geordie Shore</a>. Having said that, if you’ve ever been to Newcastle, you’ll know that the lasses are not shy of stripping down like this when the weather is hovering at around -1C. Not much chance of tanning their tushes though, so Chloe is definitely lapping up the rays on her hols.</p>
<h2>Rita Ora</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-15.56.17_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='That stunning pink bikini looks fab on Rita!' /><p>She was certainly looking ‘Hot Right Now’ as she soaked up the rays on the beach. But we’ve been a bit freaked out since discovering that Rita Ora has serious hang-ups about her peachy rear. Talking about her cheeky asset, she once said, ‘Every woman has an insecurity and I absolutely hate it [my bum]’ Well if you don’t want it, we’ll happily take it off your hands, Rita. Having said that, she works hard at keeping that sweet pear in shape by gruelling circuit training workouts, saying, ‘I do three circuits and repeat that three times. I mostly focus on my thighs and my bum, so I do a lot of squats and weight-lifting. And I do one circuit of cardio.’ We’d happily help you brush that sand off.</p>
<h2>Emily Ratajkowski</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-14.43.26_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Em always looks good, but on this beach her behind looks great!' /><p>With a light sprinkling of sparkly dust on her gorgeously pear-shaped derriere, we’re beginning to fantasise about what we can have for dessert after dinner tonight. DROOL! Em Rata is no stranger to flaunting her very high level of perfection on her socials, and who can blame her looking like this. Her secret to bootyliciousness? ‘I go on long walks and hikes with my girlfriends. That's about it.’ Someone get us a pair of walking boots – we’ve got some serious ass-piration to follow in her footsteps!</p>
<h2>Rihanna</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-14.44.45_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Peep the branded necklace too - Rihanna knows how to advertise!' /><p>Rihanna decided to take the beach bum trend to the extreme, but not in the way we were hoping for – she’s just extremely sandy. Dammit. Proud of her thicc asset, she once said that she was wary of working out in the gym, revealing, ‘I hope I don’t lose my butt or my hips or all of my thighs. I’ll lose some but not all. And I think of my boobs, like, ‘Imma lose everything, everything goes! But, you know, it comes with a price. You want to have a butt, then you have a gut!’ We love butts and guts, Riri.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>This year, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/meghan-markle-dangerous-new-move-netflix-snub/">Meghan Markle</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/prince-harry-biggest-fear-king-charles-ghosts-him/">Prince Harry</a> will celebrate a decade together after falling in love back in 2016, when they bonded over their passion for wildlife, humanitarian causes and philanthropy – even sharing their first romantic getaway camping in Botswana, ‘under the stars’.</p>
<p>But fast forward a decade and their life couldn’t look more different, with author Tom Bower recently claiming the Sussexes need bring in at least $3 million a month to sustain their new life in the exclusive, star-studded enclave of Montecito, having <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/prince-harry-meghan-markle-snubbed-royal-allies/">stepped down as senior royals in 2020</a> and all-but thrown themselves into the jaws of Hollywood.</p>
<p>Life has been a rollercoaster for the Harry, 41, and Meghan, 44, for the past few years. Not only was Harry hit by the cancer diagnoses of both his sister-in-law <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/kate-middleton-prince-william-new-move-amid-calls-king-charles-abdicate/">Kate Middleton</a>(who is now in remission) and his father <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/why-king-charles-still-takes-andrew-phone-calls/">King Charles</a> in 2024, but amidst the backdrop of his tragic family feud, he and Meghan have also been scrambling to create more content for Netflix, who are said to be ‘done’ with the couple after a string of falling ratings.</p>
<p>For any couple, this would cause a lot of strain and a source says the Sussexes aren’t immune to feeling the heat, as we’re told how their differences have now reached near breaking point.</p>
<p>An insider says, ‘The reality is they have been clashing over just about everything for months now. It’s just a matter of two very headstrong people that need to find a way to get along day to day. It’s not as though they have one huge issue, it’s a lot of things adding up. They come from very different cultures so they see a lot of things very differently and that can cause a ton of strife.’</p>
<p>No doubt adding fuel to the fire, last week it was also revealed during Harry’s high-profile trial against a British newspaper that he had exchanged flirty text messages with a journalist, who he had also added on social media.</p>
<p>Throughout the texts, the journalist, Charlotte Griffiths, refers to Harry as ‘Mr Mischief’, while Harry refers to their ‘movie snuggles’ and calls her ‘sugar’.</p>
<p>What may also peeve Meghan is the fact that Harry initially introduced himself on a message to Charlotte as ‘H’ – the nickname she has publicly called him several times, most likely believing it to be a pet name between them.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Meghan-Markle-and-Prince-Harry-GettyImages-1206284710.jpg?q=80' alt='Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex (L) and Britain's Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (2nd R) follow Britain's Prince William, Duke of Cambridge (C) and Britain's Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge (R) as they depart Westminster Abbey after attending the annual Commonwealth Service in London on March 9, 2020' /><p>However, Harry was very much single at the time, with the messages exchanged between December 2011 and January 2012, with Harry telling the court that he had cut off contact after discovering she was a journalist, saying, ‘That was that’.</p>
<p>But the source says the flirty exchange has done nothing to smooth over any tensions between Harry and Meghan.</p>
<p>We’re told, ‘All these text messages that just got dredged up didn’t help matters, either. Even though it all happened before Harry even met Meghan, everyone knows she didn't take it well and it’s made for some very uncomfortable conversations, to say the least.’</p>
<p>Yet now, with the couple – who wed in 2018 and are now parents to Archie, six, and Lilibet, four – preparing for their trip to Australia next week, the source says they both remain fully committed to their marriage and to working on their relationship.</p>
<p>The insider says, ‘They’re committing to working on their marriage and they’re both very aligned on this.</p>
<p>‘They don’t want to kick any potential problems down the road just because of their busy schedules as they’ll never make any progress. And if their differences are heightened, there’s a chance their marriage would struggle to come back from it and they absolutely do not want to divorce. They both acknowledge that any relationship takes work and compromise and that starts with proper communication.’</p>
<p>Harry has been open about attending personal therapy sessions but the source claims how he and Meghan can still clash over cultural differences when it comes to her openness and his ‘reserved’ British sensibilities.</p>
<p>‘One thing that continues to be an ongoing challenge is how totally different they are culturally. In a lot of ways, she is classically American, she’s not afraid to speak her mind and push for what she wants, and if necessary, make waves, whereas he’s far more reserved,’ they tell us.</p>
<p>‘He may have this reputation as a royal rebel, but at the end of the day the lessons he absorbed from his family about keeping his feelings inside and never seeking too much attention run very deep. That’s not something that’s going to change overnight, no matter how much work they put in.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Meghan-Markle-and-Prince-Harry-GettyImages-2260472705.jpg?q=80' alt='Meghan, Duchess of Sussex attends Annual Fifteen Percent Pledge Fundraising Gala Honoring Ms. Tina Knowles at Paramount Studios on February 07, 2026' /><p>Another hurdle for the couple could be the reported differences in their views of Hollywood. Harry has been noticeably absent from red carpets over the past few months, with Meghan attending the Fifteen Percent Fundraising Gala solo in February after heading to Paris alone for Fashion Week in October and attending another Children’s Hospital fundraising event in LA just days later.</p>
<p>And while a source recently revealed that Harry, who is reported to be ‘homesick’ for his life in the UK, has been left ‘frustrated’ and ‘exhausted’ by the make-or-break world of Hollywood, we’re told Meghan isn’t ready to quit the limelight any time soon.</p>
<p>The insider says, ‘Sure they can try to navigate it better and find compromise but the fact is, he doesn’t embrace the limelight the way she does and it’s hard to imagine he ever will, which means they constantly need to be working on finding middle ground because Meghan isn’t going to change either.’</p>
<p>The couple were also reported to be set to return to the UK for a royal reconciliation this summer, but with the ongoing furore surround Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor still raging, it’s been widely reported that Prince William, in particular, is in no hurry to reunite with his estranged brother.</p>
<p>And the source says that, from Meghan’s perspective, there is only so many olive branches that Harry can offer, while we’re told that he remains loyal to both his family and his sense of duty.</p>
<p>The insider says, ‘There’s also the issue of his family and how differently they see the situation. From Meghan’s point of view, if something isn’t healthy, you set a firm boundary and move on. She’s had to do it with most of her own family. It was horribly painful for her, especially with her dad, but to her it was the only solution and she did what needed to be done.</p>
<p>‘There's no doubt that’s one of the core issues, because even after all that he’s complained about he’s still got a deep sense of duty that likely will never go away.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>One of the UK's most famous faces through the '90s and '00s, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/alicia-douvall-regret-bum-implants-plastic-surgery/">Alicia Douvall</a> stepped away from celebrity life 10 years ago. But now, the former glamour model is slowly dipping her toe back in – and has a new love in her life. Alicia first connected with David Anstiss in a meet-cute at a local tennis event – the businessman came to her rescue when her water bottle got lodged in a vending machine – and the couple got engaged in a romantic Maldivian holiday last April.</p>
<p>Now speaking of their plans to wed in a Grade I listed church, Alicia, 46, tells Closer, ‘I was never one of those girls who dreamed of getting married – I’ve been the runaway bride. David’s basically planning the whole thing – men can handle it much better.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-584168308-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Alicia Douvall' /><p>Alicia is no stranger to a high-profile romance and has previously been linked to John Terry, Calum Best, Shaggy, Mickey Rourke, Dane Bowers, and was engaged to Dennis Rodman.</p>
<p>After famously claiming to have slept with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/simon-cowell-lauren-silverman-secret-marriage/">Simon Cowell</a> 11 times in one night, the model confirms, ‘That’s true, but, looking back, it wasn’t anything that I can remember too much about. I think at the time, I did have a good time – but I didn’t love myself.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2268225705-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Simon Cowell' /><p>Admitting that ‘half her exes have been exposed, cancelled or God knows what else’, Alicia says she is still ‘in touch with the ones that don’t hate her’ – but none compare to ‘best friend’ David.</p>
<p>‘I’ve found love for the first time,’ she smiles. ‘I’ve stopped going for narcissistic egomaniacs who live shallow lives.’</p>
<p>Shooting to fame in the late ’90s as a Page 3 and Playboy TV model, Alicia was once labelled the most operated on woman in Britain, infamously spending a million pounds on more than 350 plastic surgeries, including 18 breast augmentations, 11 rhinoplasties, a chin implant and even a toe-shortening procedure.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-2518212-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Alicia Douvall in 2003' /><p>After being diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder, ‘regretful’ Alicia has turned her back on the knife.</p>
<p>‘I’ve risked my life, but I also lost so much time – either having surgery or recovering from it,’ Alicia, who had her first boob job aged 17, explains. ‘It was completely unnecessary and a waste of a life. It was an addiction that got completely out of hand, and no one – not even my daughter – could stop me.</p>
<p>‘I was young, naive, gullible – and guys in white jackets were allowed to exploit me. It makes me so sad and angry.’</p>
<p>Now running beauty empire Douvall’s with her eldest daughter Georgia, 30, Alicia – who is also mum to Papaya, 14 – says, ‘I do facial exercises instead of Botox. Surgery and BDD are in my past. I’m very secure with who I am now.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/GettyImages-117258862-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Alicia' /><p>What are the current beauty trends that Alicia is most worried about? ‘I would never again have filler, it’s the worst thing anyone can do. I had it removed – my face looked awful,’ she reveals. ‘Ozempic is also causing irreversible damage. I look at people who are on it. It ages them so much, turns their face very hard and ill-looking. I think it’ll be like when they put cocaine in Coca-Cola – what were we thinking?’</p>
<p>Someone who is no stranger to surgery is <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/katie-price-twins-lee-andrews-prove-real-deal/">Katie Price</a>. ‘It’s up to her, but Katie didn’t need any of her surgeries,’ she sighs. ‘She was strikingly beautiful in the face. If she’d aged naturally, she’d have been a beautiful older woman.’ Though they had a love-hate relationship as ‘direct rivals’ in the ’90s – with Alicia once claiming Katie, 47, had ‘tried to beat her up in a nightclub when she was pregnant’ – things thawed between the pair after appearing on <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/cbb-fights-controversial-moments/">Celebrity Big Brother</a> in 2015.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/shutterstock_editorial_4378274t-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='Alicia and Katie on CBB in 2015' /><p>And though they ‘stay in contact from a distance’, Alicia is aware of Katie’s recent fourth marriage – to alleged conman, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/lee-andrews-katie-price-husband/">Lee Andrews</a>.</p>
<p>As many women stepped forward to warn the mum-of-five about Lee’s swindling ways, Alicia goes on, ‘We’ll all be there for Katie when her latest scammer lets her down. I question where the girl code’s gone – she should’ve listened to his exes. But Katie’s definitely not daft – she doesn’t trust anybody. She’s a very savvy girl, who’s not going to hand her money over to him easily.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-07-at-09.02.31.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine' /><p>And as for her future with her fiancé, Alicia hasn’t ruled out becoming a mum for a third time, telling Closer how she has newfound confidence. She says, ‘I spent 10 years being a recluse. Now, I’m completely accepting of who I am – I’ve found myself.</p>
<p>‘David hasn’t got kids, so it’s something we’ve discussed – you never know,’ she smiles. ‘There’s obviously a big age gap between Papaya and Georgia, and it works really well because you get a babysitter straight away!’</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Stacey Solomon is one of our fave celebs to follow on social media, and not just because of her <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/stacey-solomon-home-transformation-hack/">popular life hacks</a>. She quite often shares surprisingly affordable <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/beauty/stacey-solomon-root-spray/">product recommendations</a>. This time round, it's leggings from Amazon that, while usually a bargain at £10, cost just £8 right now. As I write, I am actually happily wearing a pair of these <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C7KSCQW2?tag=qcloserarticle3857-21" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">SINOPHANT leggings</a>, but, if you don't take my word for it, hear what Stacey has to say: 'The best leggings of all time, imho.'</p>
<p>We all know that finding the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/life-style/fashion/best-black-leggings/">best pair of leggings</a> can take some time and cost you a bit in the process, but when you do, it feels like it's been worth the journey. Stacey has clearly been on that journey: "I hate things that dig in, and I equally hate if they slide down because they're baggy. These fit so securely without digging in, and I just bloody love them. They're soft, stretchy. I love the thick waistband."</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/Stacey-Solomon-Leggings.jpg?q=80' alt='Stacey Solomon Leggings' /><div data-itemtype="product"><a href="https://amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BZT3WXDV/"></a></div><div data-itemtype="product"><a href="https://amazon.co.uk/dp/B082HMQ14X/"></a></div><div data-itemtype="product"><a href="https://amazon.co.uk/dp/B07P3HMKJW/"></a></div><p><em><strong>Obsessed with celeb outfits, lifestyle tips and the latest showbiz news?</strong></em> <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em><strong>Click here</strong></em></a> <em><strong>to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</strong></em></p>
<p>The 'thick waistband' that Stacey loves is thanks to the comfortable high-waisted design that offers gentle tummy control for a flattering fit. Stacey Solomon has previously shared her <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/stacey-solomon-gym-wear/">favourite gym wear</a>, but she states that when she is in her 'comfort over everything era', these leggings fit the bill.</p>
<p>'I have them in almost every single colour. They have so many,' says Stacey. There are, in fact, over 20 individual colours to choose from for just a tenner a pair, while the <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/SINOPHANT-Waisted-Leggings-Buttery-Stretchy/dp/B0C7KS9XZ1?tag=qcloserarticle3857-21" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">multipacks</a> offer even better value.</p>
<p>These leggings currently have over 81,000 reviews from Amazon customers, averaging a 4.4-star rating, so Stacey is definitely not alone in giving these a big thumbs up. If you are looking for a new pair of high-waisted leggings for comfortable, everyday wear, I recommend checking these out. The only issue you might have is trying to decide which of the many colours to go for.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>There's nothing quite like rocking a summer dress on a blazing hot day. However, there's only one thing that can ruin summer for us, and that's thigh rubbing - it's officially the <em>worst</em>. Having said that, we refuse to let it stop us from gallivanting around in our pretty frocks this summer. Thankfully, the best anti-chafing shorts are here to save the day.</p>
<p>Anti-chafing shorts are specially designed to stop your thighs from rubbing, which in turn can create friction and lead to chafing, redness, irritation and a generally grumpy mood. With most options designed with a longer leg length, this style of shorts will help to cover up any potential skin area that could rub on those balmy days. They're also made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics like nylon, spandex, polyester blends and cotton, which make them a breathable and lightweight option to wear in any hot climate. By wearing these types of shorts, you're less likely to overheat and get sweaty and, therefore, less likely to experience thigh chafing.</p>
<p>The good news is, if you want to add some sculpting power whilst protecting your thighs from chafing, you can indeed opt for a pair of compression <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-shapewear-shorts/">shapewear shorts</a> or <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fitness/shapewear-leggings/">shapewear leggings</a>. They're designed with materials like elastane and spandex to allow flexibility and movement, whilst adding some serious sculpting shape that you'd find in the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-shapewear-uk/">best shapewear</a>.</p>
<p>Our ultimate guide to chafing shorts includes well-known brands such as M&#x26;S, Shapermint and Sloggi, as well as some unknown gems that you need to have on your radar. For example, <a href="https://www.boody.co.uk/products/smoothing-short-nude?variant=40624369893422" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Boody's Smoothing Shorts</a> are a great sustainable pick on our list, made with elastane viscose fibre, which is in fact made from bamboo.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>While fans are preparing to get stuck into the new series of I’m A Celebrity All Stars, there’s been major drama brewing off-screen following reports that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/gemma-collins-towie/">Gemma Collins</a> and Sinitta are embroiled in a feud.</p>
<p>Now, insiders tell Closer that there’s no sign of the fallout coming to an end – and Gemma has warned  Sinitta not to mess with her.</p>
<p>‘Gemma feels she’s the biggest name on this year’s series of All Stars, but she’s had a nagging feeling that Sinitta had been leaking stories on her. Gemma thinks it’s peculiar that topics of discussion that took place either with Sinitta, or with her around and in close proximity, have ended up in the press. She told Sinitta she should never mess with her,’ a source tells us.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/gemma-col.jpg?q=80' alt='Gemma has sharp words for Sinitta' /><p>The former <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/towie/">TOWIE</a> star, 45, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/gemma-collins-hits-back-claims-s-paid-full-m-celebrity-fee-charity-donated-4800/">famously lasted just 72 hours</a> in the I’m A Celebrity! jungle in 2014, with her diva-like behaviour making headlines. But she’s returned for another attempt at jungle life, this time in South Africa. She and Sinitta – who came 11th on the show in 2011 – join stars including Sir Mo Farah, David Haye and Ashley Roberts in All Stars, which was filmed last year.</p>
<p>While the cast has been busy promoting the show in recent weeks, Gemma’s accusations of leaking stories have left her co-star Sinitta puzzled.</p>
<p>‘Sinitta is confused that Gemma would accuse her of such a thing. The accusations really shook her. She wasn’t the only person in camp and she is bewildered why Gemma doesn’t realise there is also a huge crew involved and they were all wearing microphones so it would have been heard by everyone on production,’ the source says.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/gemma-sinitta-1.jpg?q=80' alt='Sinitta stars alongside Gemma on the ITV show' /><p><strong><em>Obsessed with celeb outfits, lifestyle tips and the latest showbiz news? <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here</a> to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</em></strong></p>
<p>It’s the latest feud for Gemma, who’s no stranger to clashing with fellow celebs. During her time on TOWIE, she regularly found herself at the centre of drama, and her 2016 stint on <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/cbb-fights-controversial-moments/">Celebrity Big Brother</a> was filled with rows – including a major bust-up with US actress Tiffany Pollard. And while appearing on Dancing On Ice in 2019, Gemma clashed frequently with judge Jason Gardiner – even accusing him of selling stories about her.</p>
<p>But Gemma’s latest drama has not only impacted her and Sinitta. The source adds, ‘Things between the line- up have been quite frosty  and awkward now, to put it politely. The pre-show buzz  has prematurely fizzled out.’</p>

<p>ICYMI, earlier this week it came to light that <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/helena-ford-carrington-rodriguez-split/">Helena and Carrington had split</a> six weeks after they were dumped from the villa and while you might think that's quick, they did last longer than the actual winners <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/samie-elishi-love-island/">Samie Elishi</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/ciaran-davies/">Ciaran Davies</a>.</p>

<p>'Can confirm no,' she responded.</p>
<p>It then came out that the end of their relationship may have come about due to Carrington apparently going on a date with someone else - who may or may not be <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/carrington-rodriguez-harrison-solomon-dating-same-girl/">the same person Harrison Solomon is apparently dating</a> (he also <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/belle-hassan-harrison-solomon-split/">called it quits with Belle Hassan</a> recently).</p>

<p>Savage.</p>
<p>Well now Helena's made it super clear that there's no love lost between them as she's posted a shady TikTok that includes one of the quotes she said in the villa after she claimed Carrington was 'fake'.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/02/helena-carrington-love-island-all-stars-1.jpg?q=80' alt='helena and carrington look serious' /><p>Cast your mind back to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2026/">All Stars</a> earlier this year when Helena was telling the girls in the dressing room that she was getting the ick, she also said, 'He's doing my head in.</p>
<p>'He just wants a one way ticket to the UK, darling. And do you know what? He can buy his own f--king flight.'</p>
<p>Well, fast forward to now and before she headed to Coachella with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/jess-harding/">Jess Harding</a> (who also starred on All Stars series three), she posted a video lip syncing to that exact quote.</p>
<p>Lots of her followers rushed to comment with one person writing, 'Absolutely f--king love you his loss x.'</p>
<p>Someone else said, 'You were too good for him anyway hun x.'</p>
<p>A third wrote, 'I’m sorry that villa Helena was right 😭 but boy bye, may Coachella bring you the man of your dreams!!!'</p>
<p>One more added, 'Your humour is unmatched.'</p>
<p>We cannot wait to see the Coachella content, tbh.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If you’d told us back in the day that the best trainers to wear with dresses would be an actual thing we’d be searching for in 2026, we wouldn’t have believed it. But look at us now, rocking our floatiest frocks with our comfiest kicks, and no one bats an eyelid. Since Lily Allen hit the red carpet in 2006 wearing a ball gown and box-fresh trainers, the fashion world’s been obsessed. Fast-forward to now, and celebs like Emily Blunt, Dakota Johnson and Emily Ratajkowski are serving serious trainer and dress inspo on the regular.</p>
<p>So, why do we all love wearing trainers with dresses so much? Well, it’s the ultimate style meets comfort combo. Gone are the days of hobbling through brunch in heels or trying to make <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-ladies-sandals/">a pair of sandals</a>work in unpredictable British weather. Trainers instantly make any outfit more laid-back and wearable. Whether you’re running errands or heading out to lunch with the girls, trainers will give your outfit that cool, effortless edge. Plus, your feet won’t be aching after only a few hours. Win-win.</p>
<p>Not sure how to style them? Floaty midi dresses look great with sleek, low-profile trainers, or you can go bold with a more chunky pair and a mini dress. Don’t be afraid to play around with colour and textures too. Metallic, pastel, and even animal print trainers can take your fit to the next level. And don’t forget to add layers to finish the look. Think a leather or <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-denim-jackets/">denim jacket</a> or <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-oversized-blazers/">oversized blazer</a>.</p>
<p>Here at Closer, we’ve done the hard work for you and rounded up the best trainers to wear with dresses. Whether you’re an <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-adidas-samba-dupes/">Adidas Samba</a> fan, a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-new-balance-dupes/">New Balance</a> enthusiast or looking for a budget-friendly dupe that will give you the look for less, these practical yet stylish options will never go a miss.

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>You know that feeling when you’re in a cinema and along with the 100 or so other people, you’re watching an intense sex scene? Some of you are feeling embarrassed, others horny but you’re all secretly asking yourselves the following question - are they doing that for real? Nothing has upped the ante when it comes to balls-out passion quite like Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights and frankly ‘Moors Masturbation’ is headed mainstream. But once you’ve firmly locked Jacob E’Lordic’s see-through shirt and Margot Robbie’s finger licking safely in the bonk brain, you can turn your attentions to this extreme sexy bunch…</p>
<h2>Wuthering Heights</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/20260214_CUP502_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='It's hard not to enjoy any scene with Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, but put them together and it's unstoppable!' /><p>Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte’s classic gothic novel reimagined by the genius Emerald Fennell though the lens, she says of her adolescent self, is, while surprisingly lacking in nudity so damn sexy it’s hard to remain composed. Given that the two leads are to-die-for hot. That illicit table scene, the myriad see-through shirt rain encounters, Jacob Elordi puts up serious levels of OH LORDY. And let’s not forget a Moors masturbation scene that quite frankly makes you want to just get outdoors; one thing’s for sure it’s finger licking good. No, we mean literally, the finger licking is so, SO good.</p>
<h2>Love (2015)</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/love_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Love certainly earns it's 18 age rating...' /><p>French director Gaspar Noe’s film, Love featuring 3D sex scenes tells the erotic story of a couple turned throuple. The film was so controversial, it was even banned in Russia due to what its 'numerous pornographic scenes'. The reason? Perhaps the fact that the director insisted on no prosthetics and unsimulated sex scenes. And while a scene featuring a man ejaculating no doubt showed authenticity, it also swiftly demanded that the age rating was upped from 16 to 18 in France. Noe has defended his creative choices saying, 'I wanted to portray in a narrative film love as I knew it: ecstatic, painful, addictive' adding, 'Movies seem to portray a world in which true love isn't sexual. And that's a huge lie. Life is erotic.'</p>
<h2>Babygirl</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/564WGGI6EZG7LLLD6TWZBF2CJM_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='There's a whole range of kinky scenes in Babygirl' /><p>Nowadays you can’t move for Nicole Kidman’s on-screen sexiness, and the welcome return of the cougar was <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/steamy-hollywood-scenes-too-weird/">no sexier than in 2024’s Babygirl</a>. The film sees Romy’s orgasm-free home life with her husband played by Antonio Banderas propel her into the arms of her new intern Samuel.  What follows is sexual milk lapping, copious masturbation and so many, MANY orgasms that even Nicole Kidman admitted to being relieved that the film had wrapped.  There were times when we were shooting where I was like, 'I don't want to orgasm anymore'.' But this eroticism is the very reason that Dutch writer director Halina Reijn embarked on the project, saying that she wanted to address the orgasm gap between men and women. It’s a job well done with S&#x26;M porn masturbation, sexual domination and even a fantasy involving some level of dog training. In all honesty, the films antics make Nicole and Tom Cruise’s Eyes Wide Shut look very tame indeed.</p>
<h2>Little Ashes</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot_2024-12-06_at_11.32.16_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='We certainly appreciate Rob's commitment to authenticity...' /><p>Long before Robert Pattison was a bonking vampire in the Twilight Saga, he was doing it solo. Yes, we literally mean taking matters with little Rob into his own hands playing Salvador Dali in 2008’s, Little Ashes. The scene in which Pattison pleasures himself is in fact totally authentic with the actor explaining that he decided to 'rub one out' for the camera after finding it so hard (no pun intended) to fake it. Pattison told one publication, 'Try it. I can tell you right now, no chance. It just doesn’t work.' The consummate professional has admitted, 'My orgasm face is recorded for eternity!’ Adding that, 'If you Google something long enough you will soon know everything there is to know about me: what I eat, what my poop looks like, with whom I’m sleeping, what my d**k looks like, even what I look like when I masturbate.' Yes, it might be time for a tea and google break.</p>
<h2>Original Sin</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/original-sin-movie-film-six_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='There's plenty of skin on show in Original Sin' /><p>No doubt when <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/jennifer-aniston-life-stepmum/">Jennifer Aniston</a> watched <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/brad-pitt-legal-war-angelina-jolie-over/">Brad Pitt</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/brad-pitt-legal-war-angelina-jolie-over/">Angelina Jolie</a>’s sex scenes in 2005’s Mr. and Mrs Smith, she had some idea that the end of her marriage was on someone’s ‘To Do List’.  And if only she’d paid closer attention to her erotic thriller, Original Sin then she’d have known that when it comes to sex scenes, Jolie goes ALL THE WAY. The 2001 film details her complicated erotic affair with Antonio Banderas and the web of deception that accompanies their union.  Banderas naked bum and Jolie’s breasts both make appearances accompanied by lengthy groan-filled sex scenes. The writer director Michael Cristofer stated in a DVD commentary that both actors declined to wear prosthetics during their intimate scenes and wanted to bring authenticity to the passion. Banderas later quelled rumours of on on-set affair by telling reporters, 'I couldn’t touch her, because she had tattoos everywhere and they had to be covered with make-up, so I had to try not to dislodge it, and when there are 150 guys around you and every 20 seconds they shout ‘Cut’ and then mess with your hair and the positioning of your arms, it’s not sexy at all.'</p>
<h2>The Brown Bunny</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/the-brown-bunny_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='It might have caused controversy, but The Brown Bunny is undeniably sensual' /><p>Released in 2003, the film The Brown Bunny which tells the story of a motorcycle racer on a cross-country drive, haunted by memories of his former lover. The film however received an extreme backlash for one of it’s particularly erotic scenes, but director Vincent Gallo hit back, saying it was a ‘reminder of the corrupted nature of men when having contact with a less than sober woman’. The scene in question features Sevigny’s unsimulated oral sex scene with Gallo who also stars. Chloe would later say, 'I've done many explicit sex scenes, but I'm not that interested in doing any more.’ Later saying that the ten-minute scene should be 'shown in museums like an Andy Warhol movie'. Fellatio aside, Chloe also said, 'There are a lot of emotions. I'll probably have to go to therapy at some point. But I love Vincent. The film is tragic and beautiful, and I'm proud of it and my performance. I'm sad that people think one way of the movie, but what can you do?'</p>
<h2>Power</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot_2023-04-30_at_09.53.19_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Fans were treated to a look at 50 Cent's package in an interesting way' /><p>Ahead of the release of 2016 drama, Power, 50 Cent confessed to fans, ‘My penis is going to debut!’ During the TV show, his character Kanan, who has suffered from serious burns, is seduced before being encouraged to perform an act of ‘self-love’ to… erm… check his hands still work. The rapper and actor later admitted, ‘I don't give a f***. First it was supposed to be darker [after footage was edited.] You couldn't see it on the screen. [A producer] was like, "I gotta show you! When you put it on the screen, you can see it." I don’t care.'</p>
<h2> White Lotus</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/white-lotus-incest-bros-_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Brothers in the White Lotus world are certainly close...' /><p>If you haven’t seen 2025’s season 3 of White Lotus, then chances are you’ve still heard about it. But if you haven’t heard about it, then buckle up! Not only were fans treated to the full-frontal eye candy of Patrick Schwarzenegger’s character Saxon naked, talking porn while masturbating in front of his brother Lochlan, but it got even wilder when Saxon and Lochlan (albeit in a drunken haze) engage in some brotherly love as part of a threesome with Chloe, played by Charlotte Le Bon. Sam Nivola’s Lochlan and his on-screen brother are seen kissing as flashbacks show the three in bed together. It’s as wild as it sounds and if you haven’t seen it, consider yourself warned.</p>
<h2>Peacemaker</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/deba9ca66653027f702639c4aab2aa7d_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Peacemaker's second season made one hell of an entrance' /><p>John Cena’s powerless superhero Chris Smith AKA Peacemaker kicked off season 2 with a bang, and by bang, we mean massive orgy. During the season premiere of James Gunn’s DC spinoff, after being rejected by the justice gang to become a Bonafide hero, Cena's character is dejected and turns to drugs and alcohol to drown his sorrows. Cue Peacemaker in his apartment where he finds it filled with a shed load of naked people on every single surface, just having sex here, there and everywhere. Although it seems like an extremely graphic dream sequence, one can never quite be sure. Cena promised that this season would be more shocking than the last and he was correct. The orgy scene was one of the most talked about scenes of any TV show in 2025. Critics stated that it is essential to show the psyche of John Cena’s character as he feels broken and alone, but let’s be honest guys, in that scene, the one thing he isn’t is alone!</p>
<h2>The Hunting Wives</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/13_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='Despite their secrets, the women of the Hunting Wives don't seem reluctant to bare it all in other ways' /><p>This steamy Netflix show, adapted from May Cobbs 2021 novel of the same name, stars Brittany Snow as Sophie, a woman who moves from her big city life to smaller town Texas. The binge worthy series has so much sex in it, it should just be called The Sexing Wives. While Sophie’s new Texan life sees her embroiled with a seedy clique of high-powered housewives who are all concealing deadly secrets, she finds a way to entertain herself. Because the other thing they’re concealing is the fact that they love the bedroom antics. Sophie and Margot played by Malin Ackerman are central to the secret sex action which climaxes figuratively and literally in the finale of the first season, when they enjoy an extremely enthusiastic passion session.</p>
<h2>Sex Lives of College Girls</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/pauline_chalamet_86628e_infobox-0c4f122e_featured_preview.jpg?q=80' alt='We doubt Timothy is tuning in to his big sister's show, no matter how supportive he may be' /><p>If you started watching Sex Lives of College Girls and you didn’t see any sex, then chances are you’d feel like you’d been cheated. Luckily, you need not worry because it’s jam-packed full to the brim with exactly what you’d expect, and 2025’s third and final season did not disappoint. Following the lives of four 18-year-old roommates as they embark on their university life at none other than Essex college (yes, furthering their education at a building which literally has the word sex in it) these four girls are doing more than sowing their oats. Special mention must be given though to Kimberly Finkle, played by none other than Timothee’s big sister Pauline Chalamet, who throughout all three seasons puts on an eye watering display of hotness.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>While pastels for spring aren't exactly groundbreaking, there's one shade that is dominating the high street right now, and it's actually inspired by none other than the supermarket dairy aisle. That's right, the bread roll's best friend: butter yellow is the inviting shade to add to your wardrobe this season.</p>
<p>If you're anything like me and have tended to steer away from the divisive colour, then you'll be pleased to hear that this is yellow in its most versatile light. Somewhere between zingy lemon and subdued sorbet, but more vibrant than beige, butter yellow is being labelled as the new neutral.</p>
<p>Easy to incorporate into your existing wardrobe, the key to making this charming hue work is to mix it with complementary shades, particularly if you have a minimalistic style. To brighten up your workwear or your moodier neutrals, butter yellow paired with dark grey, soft beige, and cappuccino shades looks effortlessly chic. I also love wearing a butter yellow top with my khaki jacket (particularly my <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-barn-jacket/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">barn jacket</a>), as its striking contrast creates a surprisingly balanced finish.</p>
<p>Equally, butter yellow looks dreamy styled with dark blue <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/best-barrel-leg-jeans/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">denim jeans</a> or white jeans for an off-duty, weekend look. Or if you're feeling particularly brave, opt for a head-to-toe tonal outfit or monochromatic outfits. So if you're looking to refresh your wardrobe with some spring energy, keep scrolling for our 15 favourite butter yellow fashion buys below.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>It might not be everyone’s favourite but there is no denying that this year’s season of <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2026/">All Stars</a> had its moments. <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/belle-hassan-love-island/">Belle Hassan</a> going head-to-head with half the villa, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-lucinda-strafford/">Lucinda Strafford</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/samie-elishi-lucinda-strafford-friendship/">#piegate,</a> the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2026-american-bombshells/">American bombshells</a> causing a stir and of course the unforgettable moment <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/charlie-frederick/">Charlie Frederick</a> was dumped from the villa.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/charlie-frederick.jpg?q=80' alt='Charlie Frederick' /><p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2018/">The series four</a> Islander was the first boy to be sent home and in the dating show first, he was dumped by the person he was in a couple with - none other than <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/millie-court-love-island/">Millie Court</a>. It’s not all bad for Charlie though, as by the looks of things he already has a new lover in his life, even if he is being rather coy about it all.</p>
<p>Posting a photo dump from the Easter weekend, Charlie revealed some pics from his stay at a spa in Richmond and amongst the pics were some snaps that are most certainly giving 'soft launch'.</p>
<p>'Seeing who’s nail varnish is better…' he wrote referring to a photo of his feet and a mystery woman's. Charlie also joked, 'Some random women put her hand on my leg… weird', which accompanied a female's hand clutching his leg.</p>

<p>Charlie added few other jovial bullet points on the Instagram post which we immediately realised was a soft launch and clearly we aren't the only ones as people have literally commented, 'Soft launch,' on the post.</p>
<p>Obviously, he hasn't tagged his new love interest and considering about 10 different people threw a heart emoji Charlie's way it's tricky to determine who the mystery woman is.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/01/LI-AS-Charlie-milie-chat.jpg?q=80' alt='Millie and Charlie' /><p>Both of Charlie's trips to the Love Island villa were short and not necessarily sweet, he was on the show in 2018 where he lasted just five days and for third season of All Stars he was sent home after just one week.</p>
<p>But alls well ends well, as clearly life after Love Island for Charlie has been nothing but good vibes.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>The <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> lot just LOVE to stay in the drama and now villa besties <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/carrington-rodriguez/">Carrington Rodriguez</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/harrison-solomon/">Harrison Solomon</a> are apparently at odds.</p>
<p>Well, kind of.</p>
<p>Over the past few days it's come to light that not only have <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/helena-ford-carrington-rodriguez-split/">Carrington and Helena Ford split</a>, but Harrison and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/belle-hassan-love-island/">Belle Hassan</a> have also <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/belle-hassan-harrison-solomon-split/">called it quits on their relationship</a>.</p>
<p>The plot thickens, though, because apparently Harrison and Carrington have already moved on… with the <em>same</em> girl.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/helena-carrington-love-island.jpg?q=80' alt='Love Island's Helena and Carrington' /><p>'Harrison and Carrington have both been speaking to the same girl from London and have butted heads over it.</p>
<p>'No one is sure if there was any crossover with Belle on Harrison’s side, or Helena on Carrington’s but everyone knows it’s been happening,' a source told <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/38756745/love-island-belle-harrison-dating-others-after-split/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Sun</a>.</p>
<p>Amid all the reports, though, Harrison and Carrington have spoken out and insisted there's no beef between them.</p>

<p>Lots of their Love Island co-stars commented with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/shakira-khan/">Shakira Khan</a> joking, 'Evil twins 👯.'</p>
<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/yamen-sanders/">Yamen Sanders</a> wrote, 'Twinnem.'</p>

<p><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/ciaran-davies/">Ciaran Davies</a> added, 'Swear you two don’t like each other or sommin.'</p>
<p>So does this mean they're <em>not</em> dating to same girl? Either way, Harrison and Carrington have been besties from the moment they met in the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/all-stars-2026/">All Stars 2026</a> villa; remember when they tried to get to know <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/sher-suarez/">Sher Suarez</a> and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/jessy-potts/">Jessy Potts</a> in the Secret Garden but Belle and Helena wasted no time interrupting them?</p>
<p>Iconic scenes.</p>
<p>We reckon we're about to see more iconic moments from the All Stars lot, as Ciaran - who recently <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/ciaran-davies-single/">split from his villa ex Samie Elishi</a> - has revealed he's heading to America for a boys' trip with the USA Islanders...</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If you aren't chronically online and also obsessed with reality TV shows you might have missed the current drama that is taking place over on TikTok but do not fear as we are here to enlighten you with the latest influencer/reality TV star drama.</p>
<p>After all, if WE have to know what's going on YOU also have to shoulder the burden. The current chaos is surrounding Dani Stockley (iconic storyteller who is besties with many a <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/">Love Island</a> stars) and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/meg-moore/">Meg Moore</a> (<a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/love-island-2025/">series 12</a> OG who had beef with <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/shakira-khan/">Shakira Khan</a>).</p>
<p>But it's not just Meg and Dani who are feuding, as somehow <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/harrison-solomon/">Harrison Solomon</a> has wormed his way into the fallout and everyone is confused but also not surprised.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/li-meg-mad.jpg?q=80' alt='Meg' /><p>Dani recently took to TikTok (her social media platform of choice) to share an anecdote that featured an anonymous Love Island contestant who was apparently rather frosty when they met. We won't lie, Dani went <em>in</em> on the Islander in question using rather, ahem, unsavory language to describe the person.</p>
<p>'I met the rudest Love Islander ever, she was a massive c***,' Dani revealed, 'I go to this party, good vibes, I see a boy and a girl that was on the last season, and they wasn't that loved.'</p>
<p>Might we add, that Dani didn't actually name names but from her description people were quick to speculate that she could have been speaking about Meg and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/dejon-noel-williams/">Dejon Noel-Williams</a>.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/06/love_island_sr12_ep32_34.jpg?q=80' alt='Meg and Dejon' /><p>'She was the only girl there so I wanted to show her a bit of love, and she's gorgeous, she's gorgeous, right?' Dani went on, 'I tap her on the shoulder nicely, a friendly tap and I go, "Oh my god you're so pretty," I was being sincere. She looks at me like this.'</p>
<p>Cue Dani giving her best scowl to the camera followed by, what we can only describe, as a shocked scoff which clearly represents her horror at the Islanders dirty look.</p>
<p>'The boyfriend that she was with didn't even acknowledge my existence,' she went on, 'now I understand why no one f**king liked you, bitch.'</p>
<p>It wasn't long before Meg commented on the video and while her comment has disappeared, this is 2026 and you literally can't bury anything.</p>
<p>'This video is actually so disappointing to hear, you came up to me touched my shoulder and said omg your so pretty and I said aww that’s so lovely thank you so much and then you was gone,' Meg wrote in the now deleted comment.</p>
<p>'I actually met so many lovely people the other night in something that was not my usual setting and I’m very confused how you felt this way on me. Especially feeling the need to do a whole video on me calling me the most vile names under the sun on such a platform.'</p>
<p>And now, how does Harrison feature in the whole escapade? Well obviously he couldn't resist throwing his two pence in and when Dani decided to address the situation in another viral TikTok, Harrison can be seen in her comments.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/06/harrison-love-island-1.jpg?q=80' alt='Love Island's Harrison Solomon' /><p><strong><em>Spoilers. Scandals.

<p>'I believe you Dani,' he declared on her video with the comment gaining over 26k likes.</p>
<p>Other people were torn with half of them claiming that if Meg wasn't rude why did she think the tale was about her and the other stating Dani didn't need to share such a story, whether it's true or not.</p>
<p>As for Harrison, he always seemed close to Meg in the villa but that was when him and <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/lauren-katie/">Lauren Wood</a> (who is pals with Meg) were an item and we all <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/harry-cooksley-lauren-wood/">know how THAT ended</a>.</p>
<p>Meg is yet to address the fact that Harrison is now involved in the feud but we have a feeling a Snapchat Story may well be on the way.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>Since her <em><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/geordie-shore-most-iconic-moments/">Geordie Shore</a></em> days, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/vicky-pattison-worried-becoming-mum/">Vicky Pattison</a> has definitely come a long way, and one thing that we can all agree on is that the star has had one impressive career journey. From being crowned queen of the jungle on <em>I'm A Celeb</em>, to sharing her thoughts as a <em><a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/vicky-pattison-reason-left-loose-women/">Loose Women</a></em> panellist, and even hosting her own <em>Heart</em> radio show. Now, Vicky is in the process of releasing a brand new two-part documentary, sharing her and her husband, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ercan-ramadan-vicky-pattinson-boyfriend/">Ercan Ramadan</a>'s journey to (maybe?) start a family.</p>
<p>Just one reason why we love Vicky so much is her honest and candid nature. In the past, she's spoken about her struggles with PMDD and has opened up about her <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/vicky-pattison-health/">fertility journey</a>. On the <em>This Morning</em> show, Vicky revealed to <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/alison-hammond-outfits-this-morning/">Alison Hammond</a> and Dermot O'Leary about the new documentary, 'I think it's really important that we do continue to have these conversations... in the hopes that the more sunlight these conversations get, it'll help people foster empathy and there'll be less judgement.'</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits' /><p>In the spirit of all things Vicky Pattison, we thought we'd pay homage to the star and put together some of her best looks from '<em>Maybe, Baby?</em>' We're seeing sunshine yellow waistcoats and cosy lilac cardigans as Vicky lets us in and shares some of the most personal moments of her life so far. If her <a href="https://www.little-mistress.com/collections/vicky-pattison" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Little Mistress</a> collection is anything to go by, we know we'll be in for some stylish staples for spring.</p>
<p>The first part of the documentary aired Tuesday 31 March at 9pm on Channel 4. You can catch the second, and final part, of the show next week, same time and same place. In the meantime, shop Vicky Pattison's '<em>Maybe, Baby?</em>' outfits below.</p>

<h2>Part 2</h2>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's pink bow dress</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits-1-1.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits' /><p>Vic wears a showstopping dress from Rebecca Vallance on her date with Ercan. It's the perfect dress to end the series, featuring romantic pink hue, dreamy puff sleeves and embellished neckline with black bows. We won't spoil anything for those who need to catch up!</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's brown high neck ribbed jumper</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits-9.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits' /><p>Vicky catches up with her bestie, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/tv-movies/towie-pete-wicks/">Pete Wicks</a>, to further discuss her and Ercan's plans to start a family. She wears a simple chocolate brown top with a slightly higher neckline. The fabric looks like it could be a ribbed knit, but unfortunately, we don't know where it's from.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's butter yellow short-sleeved knit and coat</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits-7.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits' /><p>We'd love to know where Vicky's gorgeous <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/butter-yellow-clothes/">butter yellow</a> coat is from. But, we think we've found her butter yellow knit top. And, it might just be one from &#x26; Other Stories. You can still purchase it. But, not for long...</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's shearling coat and cream top</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits-4-1.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits' /><p>It's confirmed that Vicky's exact shearling coat is an out of stock one from <a href="https://www.karenmillen.com/product/karen-millen-faux-shearling-contrast-cuff-and-collar-wrap-midi-coat_bkk09128" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Karen Millen</a>. While, yes, it might be spring and veering into warm weather territory, we've found an alternative for her look below.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's grey loungewear co-ord</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits-3.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits' /><p>We're pretty sure Vicky's exact loungewear set may be from PrettyLittleThing, consisting of a zip up hoodie and comfy joggers in a light grey. There's nothing like cosying up in a snuggly hoodie.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's lilac collared jumper</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-lilac-henley-top.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-lilac-collared-jumper' /><p>A jumper that features often in this series, Vicky wears a now out-of-stock merino collared jumper from M&#x26;S's range, Autograph. It looks seriously cosy, so we're gutted it's no longer available to buy. But, we've found similar dupes.</p>
<h2>Part 1</h2>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's red rose maxi dress</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-red-rose-dress.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-red-rose-dress' /><p>Vic throws a birthday party for her pooch, Max, and it looks like she's having so much fun wearing this stunning dress from Anne Louise Boutique. So much fun, that she actually forgot it was <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/ercan-ramadan-vicky-pattinson-boyfriend/">Ercan</a>'s birthday on the same day. Oops, lol.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattinson's pink baby tee</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-pink-tee.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-pink-tee' /><p>Vicky catches up with a sex therapist after revealing that the couples' sex life needs a little bit of a jumpstart again. In this scene, she wears a pink short-sleeved tee, which appears to be cropped. We've found one just like it (gasp, could it be the same one?) from Abercrombie &#x26; Fitch.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's cream ribbed baby tee</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-cream-top.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-cream-top' /><p>We spot Vicky wearing a form-fitting short-sleeved tee in cream which has a subtle ribbed fabric. From what we can tell, she pairs with the same coloured joggers for a cohesive athleisurewear vibe. We can't be certain where her exact top is from, but we've found a close option from <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/what-to-buy-at-uniqlo-new-in/">Uniqlo</a>.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's cream polo neck top</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-white-polo-top.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-maybe-baby-outfits' /><p>Heading to the fertility clinic, Vic opts for this clean and minimalistic cream polo top with short sleeves. She pairs the top with jeans and what looks like a rounded, woven brown bag.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's brown jumper with denim collar</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-chocolate-jumper-denim-collar-1.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-chocolate-jumper-denim-collar' /><p>We immediately took notice of Vicky's contrasting jumper. It's chocolate brown with a denim collar, a genius design choice. Blue and brown have been commonly seen colour combinations for this spring, so it's no wonder this Mango jumper is in demand and low in stock.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's brown trench coat</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-oversized-trench.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-oversized-trench' /><p>We have absolutely no idea where Vicky's trench coat is from. Yes, that's even after searching for ages and ages. This particular design comes with an exaggerated, oversized fit for that statement look. Vic sets off to meet up with Rachel, a friend she met while filming one of her previous documentaries about PMDD.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's butter yellow waistcoat and trouser co-ord</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-butter-yellow-waistcoat.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-butter-yellow-waistcoat' /><p>Vicky catches up with Mum, wearing this gorgeous co-ord in yet another trending butter yellow shade. The original co-ord she's wearing is from <a href="https://www.alblondon.co.uk/products/buttercream-porter-suit?_pos=5&#x26;_sid=31ea9035b&#x26;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Anne Louise Boutique</a> but is unfortunately sold out. We've found an option from Next that definitely fits the bill, though.</p>
<h2>Vicky Pattison's brown satin bomber</h2>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-satin-chocolate-bomber.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-satin-chocolate-bomber' /><p>While there's only one size left in stock, we couldn't resist including the exact River Island Bubble Hem Bomber that Vicky is wearing to Ferne McCann's house. If you want her exact jacket, you'll have to be quick...</p>

<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2025/04/vicky-pattison-yellow-tee-1.jpg?q=80' alt='vicky-pattison-yellow-tee (1)' /><p>The first part of Vicky's documentary has officially dropped, and we're so excited to see where this journey takes us. We spotted Vic wearing a pair of mid wash blue jeans, but mostly what caught out eye was her relaxed, butter yellow tee.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If there’s one influencer we will always listen to, it’s Molly-Mae Hague. From her <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/beauty/molly-mae-hague-shampoo/">cult hair routine</a> (yes, we’ve all tried to copy it) to the <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/beauty/molly-mae-pore-pads/">skincare staples</a> she swears by to trendy <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/molly-mae-brown-maternity-dress/">maternity looks</a>... when Molly-Mae backs something, it sells. So, when we heard she’d teamed up with adidas to redesign not one but two of their most iconic trainers? Colour us intrigued.</p>
<p>Having launched at 9am, Thursday 9 April, the limited-edition adidas Originals x Molly-Mae drop reimagines the Superstar II and the Samba. Molly took a hands-on role in shaping the collection, partnering on the creative direction and curating bespoke design cues that reflect her signature understated aesthetic.</p>
<p>As expected, Molly-Mae's adidas collab is selling out in record time (though it's worth refreshing as sizes leave people's baskets), with <a href="https://www.asos.com/women/ctas/hp-edit-11/cat/?cid=51612&#x26;WT.oss=molly+mae" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">ASOS currently having the best availability</a>.</p>
<p>That being said, if you love the look but missed out on your chance to grab them in your size, we've found some alternatives from adidas that are <em>really</em> similar. All you need to do is add the extra laces - we won't tell if you don't...</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/Molly-Mae-adidas-collection-close-up.jpg?q=80' alt='Molly Mae adidas collection close up' /><h2>SHOP: Molly Mae x adidas Originals</h2>
<h2>GET THE LOOK: Molly Mae x adidas alternatives</h2>
<div data-itemtype="product"><a href="https://amazon.co.uk/dp/B09P57R7RZ/"></a></div><p>Molly-Mae said: “Seeing my creative vision come to life on two iconic adidas Originals silhouettes that have long been staples in my wardrobe is a true dream. Being so closely involved in the design process and creating products that feel fun, timeless, and an authentic extension of my own personal style has been the best experience. I am so excited to see how others style them in their own way.”</p>
<p>Indeed, they’re wearable, elevated and very in line with the neutral-heavy, polished wardrobe she’s built her brand on. If you’ve ever bookmarked her outfits for inspo (guilty), these trainers slot straight in. The drop is available via adidas retail stores in London and Manchester, as well as online via <a href="https://www.adidas.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">adidas.co.uk</a> and select retailers – while stocks last. And we mean <em>while stocks last</em>.</p>
<p>But the 26-year-old hasn't just designed two new pairs of adidas trainers - she's <a href="https://www.adidas.co.uk/molly_mae">curated a full adidas Originals x Molly-Mae collection</a>, including this gorgeous <a href="https://www.adidas.co.uk/firebird-adilenium-track-top-denim/KD2920.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">adidas Firebird Adilenium Track Top in Denim, £100</a>, which makes for the perfect spring layer.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/03/Molly-Sambas-2.jpg?q=80' alt='Molly Mae Adidas' /><p>If history has taught us anything – whether it’s her beauty recommendations or <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/molly-mae-brown-trainers/">trainers she loves</a> – it’s that the Molly-Mae effect is very <em>real</em>. If you’re thinking about them, this is your sign. Run. Don’t walk. They will be gone before you can say <em>Molly Maison</em>.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>If you're anything like myself and have already started planning what outfits you're going to be taking on your upcoming summer holiday, then let me remind you not to forget sandals. Whether you love a glitzy wedge or always like to keep it flat and low-key, a versatile pair of ladies' sandals is a must-have in your suitcase. However, if you're anything like me and have dreamt of owning a pair of Hermes sandals, but the bank account is currently saying no, fear not, I've hunted down the best Hermes sandal dupes on the market – all under £100.</p>
<p>The fairest dupe queen of them all, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/shopping/fashion/frankie-bridge-jeans/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Frankie Bridge</a> is actually the celebrity who inspired me to invest in a pair of Hermes sandal dupes after I spotted a pair on her Instagram story. The pair in question? They were, in fact, the <a href="https://ego.co.uk/sai095-valerie-gladiator-velcro-strap-flat-slider-sandal-in-black-faux-leather.html?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Valeria Gladiator Velcro Strap Sandals, £21</a> from high street brand Ego. Claiming they're the best designer dupes on her story, Frankie added the photo to her 'Holiday Faves' highlight, where she had previously shared with her followers some of her holiday wardrobe staples, from bags to dresses to earrings.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2024/04/FB-shoes.png?q=80' alt='FB-shoes' /><p>Wondering what designer shoe looks similar? They look near enough identical to the <a href="https://www.hermes.com/uk/en/product/chypre-sandal-H222100Zv02340/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Hermes Chypre Sandals</a>, which cost £760 a pop. So if you're anything like me and would prefer to save yourself a few hundred pounds (and by a few hundred, I mean seven), you may want to consider snapping up a pair of these budget-friendly EGO sandals before they sell out.</p>
<p>Alternatively, if you have your eye on the Hermes Oran sandals or the Oasis Sandal, I've handpicked a selection of my favourite Hermes sandal dupes, making sure to cover off the most popular styles below.</p>
<h2>How we chose the best Hermes sandal dupes</h2>
<p>When choosing the best Hermes sandal dupes, we look at several key factors. Design accuracy comes first, paying close attention to signature details like the Hermes Oran’s iconic H-shaped strap. While exact replicas aren’t possible, we look for sandals with similar shapes and styles to the originals.</p>
<p>Material quality and craftsmanship are just as important. We compare elements such as the type of leather, stitching, and overall finish to see how closely the dupes resemble Hermes sandals. This helps us clearly outline both the similarities and differences.</p>
<p>Comfort is another major factor. Hermes sandals are known for their supportive footbed, real leather build, and timeless wearability, so we check how dupes measure up in terms of cushioning, sizing, traction, and overall fit.</p>
<p>Lastly, we consider price and value (highlighting how much you save by choosing dupes) and customer reviews. If we haven’t tested the sandals ourselves, reviews help us assess comfort, quality, and durability before making recommendations.</p>

]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><p>She’s spoken openly about struggling in the early days of first-time motherhood – especially after her boxer fiancé <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/tommy-fury/">Tommy Fury</a> left home to train for a fight just weeks after their daughter Bambi was born.</p>
<p>Now, <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/molly-mae-hague/">Molly-Mae Hague</a> – who’s pregnant with their second child – is said to be <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/molly-mae-hague-panic-baby-number-two/">feeling a frightening sense of déjà vu</a>, as she faces the prospect of solo parenting yet again. Last week, it was revealed that Tommy, 26, is taking on the former World’s Strongest Man, Eddie Hall, in a highly-anticipated fight in Manchester on 13 June – just one day after Molly-Mae’s due date.</p>
<p>And insiders tell Closer that the news has left the influencer, also 26, fuming – feeling once again like she’s trapped between supporting Tommy’s career and wanting him to be a hands-on dad.</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/molly-tom-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='The pair welcomed daughter Bambi in January 2023' /><p><strong><em>Obsessed with celeb outfits, lifestyle tips and the latest showbiz news? <a href="https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=closeronline.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click here</a> to keep Closer Online at the top of your Google feed.</em></strong></p>
<p>‘When Tommy broke the news to Molly-Mae, she went bonkers. She thought he was kidding, and at first was just so furious that he was even entertaining it,’ our source says.</p>
<p>‘She let rip and said she won’t be left to do it all alone again. While he told her he’d only do it if she agreed to it, he also made it clear that he really needed it for his career – and since she didn’t want him to do any training camps or matches over the summer, he was doing his best to accommodate that.</p>
<p>‘She hated being put in that situation. Not only is she being left solo throughout the end of her pregnancy while he has to do intensive training – and could even give birth alone due to timings – she is also the one who had the pressure of saying yes or no. It was a case of damned if she did, damned if she didn’t.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/molly-mae-scaled.jpg?q=80' alt='She's due to give birth in June' /><p>News of Tommy’s big match came after Molly-Mae shared a baby scan photo last month, which revealed her due date to be 12 June. This followed <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/molly-mae-hague-baby-number-two-bring-tommy-fury-closer/">their pregnancy announcement in February</a>, which came almost a year after they rekindled their relationship.</p>
<p>Insiders said at the time that Molly-Mae was hoping the happy news would be a fresh start for the couple – <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/celebrity/news/molly-mae-hague-excited-wedding-tommy-fury/">who got engaged in July 2023</a> – following their dramatic temporary split in August 2024, which came amid Tommy’s struggles with alcohol. Since then, he’s done his best to clean up his act, but his one non-negotiable has always been his dedication to boxing.</p>
<p>The fighter left home soon after <a href="https://closeronline.co.uk/entertainment/love-island/molly-mae-hague-tommy-fury-clash-over-bambi/">Bambi was born in January 2023</a> to prepare for a fight with Jake Paul, with Molly-Mae later admitting, ‘The first four weeks of Bambi’s life, I really did do it by myself and I was home alone with her.’</p>
<img src='https://images.bauerhosting.com/celebrity/sites/2/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-04-07-at-09.02.31.png?q=80' alt='closer magazine' /><p>Then, later that year, he moved out for 10 weeks to train for a fight with influencer KSI, explaining he needed space as he couldn’t ‘switch from being a super-dad, a cuddly dad…to training and wanting to rip someone’s head off’.</p>
<p>Now, Molly-Mae is dreading the idea of history repeating itself.</p>
<p>‘She just feels sad that the love bubble has burst,’ our source adds. ‘She’s still Tommy’s biggest fan, but she feels like they are no longer on rock-solid ground. His training effectively means they’ll be leading separate lives.’</p>

She was axed in 2021 later as part of the now infamous 'TOWIE cull', where she hit out at the show for the 'disgusting' way she was treated during the axing. When a fan asked her if she was okay in the days following the shock news, she replied, "I must say absolutely not, the way they handled things was disgusting. I've seen some people have returned & good on them...  

"But it would be the biggest violation to myself if I did that, there's so many shows to do I'm not saying I wont' return to screens one day, just would rather put my time in a show that respects me and my talent."
