Liam revealed Cheryl made the first move Liam Payne’s only gone and put his foot in it yet again with girlfriend Cheryl. The Familiar singer revealed a little too much during a game of true or false with Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw. When the DJ asked if Liam’s against a girl making the first move, he replied, ‘I don’t know about that, I’m into it.’ Before adding, ‘Chez kind of made the first move on me if I’m honest. She tickled my hair, and now look a few years later…’ We think you’ve got some grovelling to do, Liam! Now went viral with the GC! It was hard to miss Now’s interview with Gemma Collins last week. We caught up with the TOWIE…

They were scathing about recent divorce speculation, yet David and Victoria Beckham appear more distant than ever. Eyebrows were raised last week when David, 43, was notably missing from Sir Elton John’s Argento Ball, which marked the 25th anniversary of the singer’s AIDS Foundation. The Grammy winner may be godfather to the eldest of the Beckham brood, but many found it strange for VB to choose son Brooklyn, 19, as her date for the evening – and not Becks himself. The night before Posh stepped out with Brooklyn, David made a solo appearance at the Young Leaders Awards ceremony. There he met the Queen and spent the evening posing for selfies with fans – while Victoria, 44, wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Given that both were very important events, fans…

Leaf it alone! WHEN: 23 JUNE WHERE: NEWCASTLE Any hopes Chloe Ferry may have had of becoming a pole dancer were dashed this week. The Geordie Shore favourite was left red-faced after taking a tumble having tried to seductively make her way around a tree... (as you do). Sadly the branch snapped – leaving the 22-year-old lying in a heap in the Toon. We feel your pain, girl! ‘Ant’ nothing to see here WHEN: 23 JUNE WHERE: CHESTER Antony Costa clearly can’t hack it like he used to. The Fly By II hitmaker was pictured looking a tad worse for wear after celebrating his 37th birthday in Chester. Luckily, pop legends Steps – who Blue are supporting on their summer tour –…

‘Aged five, I started eating for comfort’ Frankie Essex has never made a secret of the fact that she’s a yo-yo dieter. In 2017, she admitted to piling on 2st when a knee injury forced her to stop exercising. And she’d struggled with her weight throughout her relationship with ex-boyfriend John Lyons. Right now, the TOWIE star is looking trim again, thanks to a gruelling boot camp workout. ‘I put on a bit of weight last year,’ said Frankie, 30. ‘I had some comments about my bikini body. They were rude and really got me down, but I always come up fighting.’ Gemma Clemson, 25, is someone who knows what Frankie’s going through. But she wants to warn the reality star to steer clear of quick…

IT’S CRYSTAL CLEAR!  News flash! According to A-listers in the know, we’re all supposed to be rubbing pretty rocks on our faces. Who knew?! While the likes of Victoria Beckham and Miranda Kerr carry crystals with them to ‘increase their positive vibrations’, Daisy Lowe uses a jade roller that’s supposed to soothe and revitalise the complexion. You can even buy beauty products with crystals in them! Ready to try? Here’s how it’s done… ROCKIN’ beauty buys…

Following celebs on Instagram can be hard. How does she always look so good? Can I afford that slay outfit? What are her diet secrets? It can often leave us feeling pretty rubbish about ourselves. Imagine how peeved you’d be then to find out your fave star is editing their photos. It’s something that curvy TV star Kelly Brook has recently opened up about, insisting in a now-deleted Instagram post, ‘Yes I retouch my pictures! It is not because of my weight! We all do it.’ Err, is that an OK message to send to her 940K followers? ‘Of course there is technically nothing wrong with a bit of image tweaking,’ says author and behaviour expert Judi James. ‘But it is the constant use of this facility that should make…

This position is perfect for a quickie in a public bathroom. It’s a naughty and fun one for him to just grab you, and he’s got easy access to your boobs too. Result! I’ve been filming Coach Trip with Joshua Ritchie, Charlotte Crosby and Ola and James Jordan and it’s fascinating to see love at its different stages. Josh and Charlotte are definitely in the honeymoon period, but Ola and James can tell what the other one’s thinking with just one look. Got a question for Nadia? Tweet us at @celebsnow…

HEIGHT: 5ft 9½in WEIGHT: ‘No idea, I don’t weigh myself!’ DRESS SIZE: 10/12 Hey, Lilah! You always look gorgeous, how do you get motivated to stay in shape? To be honest, I’m probably not very fit – I’d much prefer a lie in over an exercise class, but I do know that I always feel happier when I’m active! It’s more about how it makes me feel rather than how my body looks. Definitely. Do you have a favourite way to keep active? When I’m back home I love taking my dog Betty for a good walk, it blows all the cobwebs out! Nothing makes me happier than a country walk. Tell us your favourite body part… I used to hate my hips back when I modelled but now they…

She’s always been known for her curves on the set of Channel 4’s Hollyoaks , and since welcoming her first child with partner Greg Lake in June last year, Jennifer Metcalfe has transformed her figure. But some fans fear that she may have gone too far. The actress recently revealed that she has dropped from a size 10 to a size six, but added that she isn’t in the least concerned about other people’s opinions of her new, thinner frame. ‘She looks older than her age’ ‘I am probably the smallest I have ever been, but I don’t care what anyone else thinks and whether they feel I’ve gone too far with my weight loss or that I look unusually skinny,’ explained Jennifer. ‘I vary from a size zero to…

Ferne McCann has had a difficult time of things, to say the least. Last April she revealed she was pregnant – just after her ex, Arthur Collins, was arrested for carrying out an acid attack in a London night club. Baby Sunday Skye was born in November last year, just a month before Collins, 25, was sentenced to 20 years in jail. But the TOWIE star made it clear she would be bringing her daughter up as a single parent. ‘That was tough to deal with,’ says Ferne. ‘Realising I really was totally on my own.’ But despite this, the 27-year-old is happy by herself. ‘Right now, it’s all about me and Sunday. I don’t have much time for anything else - my love life is…

Since announcing her divorce from her husband Matthew Robertson last year, presenter Davina McCall has thrown herself into the gym, showing off her ripped physique on social media on a regular basis. However, the 50-year-old sparked concern among fans last week after she shared an update of her fitness journey with a bikini selfie on Instagram. Captioned, ‘Hi. It is the beginning of the summer. And this is a bikini selfie. And it probably won’t be the last,’ the former Big Brother presenter showed off her svelte figure, as she went on to share her workout plan. ‘Has this become an addiction, Davina?’ But worried fans couldn’t help noticing her prominent collarbone and frail face as they rushed to comment on the ab-exposing picture, with many agreeing she looks ‘ill’.…

Good vibrations  Author of The Power of Crystal Healing, Emma Lucy Knowles believes crystals can benefit skin. ‘Create your own elixirs by placing crystals in a facial oil or mix them with a cleanser or moisturiser,’ she says. Because crystals give off unique vibrations, when added to your lotions, they can help energise skin. Roll with it In the crystal world, jade is associated with health, and jade rollers are a popular facial tool. They boost blood circulation and cell reproduction and help skin absorb products. Think pink Rose quartz is known as an ‘emotional healer’ – it’s why VB is said to keep one close – and skincare-wise it’s thought to calm, soothe and reduce irritation. Scientifically proven? Not so much. But it does look beautiful. TOP TIP Don’t…

1 Squat Why? The squat works multiple muscle groups at once, helping to build strong, toned thighs and bum, which we guarantee he’ll love. Plus, the squatting action is replicated in bedroom antics… How to: When squatting, keep your back straight, squat low and strong and push your butt out to get the maximum push for each rep. 2 Press-up Why? When it comes to sex, upper body strength is a serious bonus. It allows you to hold your body weight comfortably in a variety of exciting positions, so you’ll be the one daring to ditch the missionary and mix it up. How to: Whether you do a full press-up on your toes or a modified press-up on your knees, focus on form and technique when pushing your chest towards…

Want to get flexy like Lady Gaga? Ben Davie, personal trainer and founder of YouTube channel Move With Ben, reveals a five-move, high-intensity workout that takes 20 minutes and increases movement, flexibility and fluidity. MOVE 1: KICK SITS Start on all fours. Kick your right leg through and simultaneously lift your left arm as if you were elbowing someone behind you. Repeat on the other side. MOVE 2: HAMSTRING SIT-UPS Lie on your back, legs out straight. Crunch up, then extend your arms, reaching for your toes. Great for abs and developing flexibility in your hamstrings and the back of the body. MOVE 3: CRAB REACH BEHIND From the crab position, sink your hips towards floor. Drive up, squeezing your bum. Try with one arm behind your head, then the…

Breakfast: 400 cals Yogurt, granola and blueberries and freshly squeezed orange juice ASHTON SAYS: This breakfast is high in sugar, meaning you’ll feel hungry sooner. Lunch: 580 cals Ham and cheese sandwich, salt and vinegar crisps and sparkling water ASHTON SAYS: Much the same as breakfast. While a sandwich isn’t the worst thing in the world, the calories in this lunch are high for not a lot of food. Dinner: 800 Cals Chicken goujons, sweet potato and asparagus, then a chocolate brownie ASHTON SAYS: There is a common theme here. Energy-dense foods ramping up the calories. Snacks:400 cals Houmous and carrot sticks, and a white Twix ASHTON SAYS: Houmous and carrot sticks are good, but white Twix? Not so good!…

If it’s your birthday this week… Jack Whitehall is 30 on 7 July  You’re likely to feel the need to bring about big changes. Good for you, first deal with someone who has changed their mind and decide if new ideas mean they come with you... or not? A year to explore new interests, some may seem a little odd to onlookers.

Isle of Wight Festival WHEN: 21-24 JUNE WHERE: ISLE OF WIGHT Camila Cabello, Liam Gallagher, Jessie J and even er, Peter Crouch graced the stage at this year’s festival. With mosh pits, football and music, it was bound to be a messy weekend, and from the looks of these snaps we can only assume it was hangovers galore the following morning. Eeek! Horan & Rose Charity Gala WHEN: 23 JUNE WHERE: WATFORD Slow Hands singer Niall Horan teamed up with English professional golfer Justin Rose to throw a star-studded bash for charity. Their famous friends were out in force, with Olly Murs, Jamie Redknapp and Jamie Dornan all on the guest list. And it’s clear the celebs weren’t shy of splashing the cash with Niall and Olly reportedly…

Since her marriage to Harry in May, Meghan Markle’s every move has been under scrutiny as she gets to grips with her new life and title as the Duchess of Sussex. Despite having the support of her hubby, she’s still coming under fire for breaking royal protocol. We ask Judi to tell us what these pics reveal... TRYING TOO HARD Meghan’s smile here looks so rigid, she’s obviously trying too hard to impress, and the way she has clamped her clutch bag to her right thigh with both hands suggests she’s struggling to keep everything in check. ANXIOUS  That clutch bag again: gripped in both hands, it has become a comfort barrier, suggesting she could be suffering a level of anxiety. It also looks like Meghan is scrutinising the Queen’s…

Kem’s found his type on paper!  Kem Cetinay certainly has a thing about petite brunettes. Despite winning Love Island last year with Amber Davies, Kem, 22, has been busy hitting up single life. Since taking Kendall Rae Knight, 26, out on two dates after she was booted off this year’s show, the hair stylist’s now been spotted sneaking another evictee – Rosie Williams, 26 – into a hotel… and like his ex Amber, she’s from Wales, too. Having said that, a source claims the pair merely went back to the hotel for a McDonald’s and nothing more. Hmm… we’re not convinced! Hugo & Millie get hitched  They first dated on Made In Chelsea in 2011, but sadly things didn’t work out for Millie Mackintosh, 28, and Hugo Taylor, 32. However,…

Ashanti Playing American football today, Ash? The singer looks ready to defend a mean tackle with those voluminous sleeves. Careful you don’t knock anyone out, hun! Chloe Sims We’re not sure the TOWIE star read the invitation correctly to this party. She was at presenter Maya Jama’s Pretty Little Thing clothing launch, but somehow turned up in floral fancy dress. Odd, that. Mel B She insisted the Spice Girls will perform on stage despite reunion plans being shut down, and judging from this get-up it looks like Mel might be planning to ride solo, giving Sporty Spice a run for her money. We wonder who she’ll be next... Meghan Trainor That top is... No. Those trousers are... No. Meghan, you need to let it go. It’s…

Georgia Kousoulou The TOWIE favourite shocked fans when she revealed she’d had a nose job in 2017, not least because she was a stunner before going under the knife. Now the 27-year-old looks like a totally different person. ‘I never regretted it,’ she says, ‘but when you come out of an operation and you’re swollen, you do think, have I done the right thing?’ A year later, Georgia’s boyfriend Tommy Mallet says he ‘wouldn’t let her’ get any more plastic surgery, even if she wanted to. Carol Vorderman The 57-year-old’s recent puffed-up appearance sparked speculation she’s been overdoing it with the fillers. ‘We believe Carol has had more than the recommended amount of fillers in her cheeks, giving that catlike look,’ says a surgeon. But Carol says the death of…

YES ‘If you get naked by chance they won’t find it strange’ Ex-Saturdays singer Una Healy, 36, is married to rugby player Ben Foden, 32, and has two children, Aoife, six, and Tadhg, three. ‘My parents never did in front of me, but Ben and I definitely do. I find it natural, especially when I jump out of the shower and I’m trying to find my clothes. Though you won’t catch me parading around in the nude – we cover up as soon as we can. If you’re naked by chance, they probably won’t find it strange. ‘Aoife is very self-conscious, though, and when I take her swimming she doesn’t like to get changed in front of others. Tadhg, on the other hand, runs around naked.’ For more information on…

Hi, darlings! This week I want to talk about rumour s that Gemma Collins had a sex tape and w anted to sell it for £1 million. She’s since denied ther e was a tape, but as long as the other per son is on board (otherwise it’d be illegal), I’m all for it. If you’re happy for the world to see you having sex, then make a million. I per sonally wouldn’t, but it’d be another string to her bow if she ev er did make a sex tape for r eal. Dear Nadia, I’ve been single for a while and suddenly, like buses, several boys have appeared on the scene. I’m currently talking to four boys – how many is too many? Am I playing with fire? N:…

THEN  Sherrie Hewson was a Corrie regular from 1993 to 1997. She went on to become a panellist on Loose Women and has been playing hotel manageress Joyce in ITV’s Benidorm since 2012. NOW Sherrie joins four other celebs on a caravanning trip through the UK in series two of Channel 5’s reality show Celebrity Five Go Caravanning (Friday, 8pm).

CALVIN HARRIS He looked like… THEN Messy Back in the day Calvin was more of an understated guy – a simple comb-over and a bit of stubble being was perfectly adequate grooming for him. NOW Groomed The comb-over is long gone, and now the DJ rocks a lighter more styled do, teamed with a clean-cut beard and pearly whites. Looking good! DID YOU KNOW? The Scottish native’s real name is Adam Richard Wiles. He was saying… THEN Calvin was struggling to get people to feature on his tracks, admitting, ‘I never intended to be a singer, the only reason I’m singing on this record is because I couldn’t find anyone else who wanted to sing on it.’ NOW ‘I’ve worked with a lot of people, I’m very fortunate.’ These days…

Pretty party I went to the Pretty Little Thing party this week for Maya Jama’s collection with them and it was a wicked night. Stormzy coming to support his girlfriend and performing a couple of tracks was amazing! I saw loads of mates there, like Amber Turner and Chloe Sims. I spoke to Maya who I’ve met before and is just lovely. Oh, and I saw Tulisa there as well – she’s looking good. I’m really enjoying being back on the work circuit for events and stuff. I’d shied away from it for a while, but I’m back. I mean, I won’t be going to the opening of an envelope but it’s nice to go to some things. Love Island drama Now Love Island is getting…
