Cheryl talked about her ‘competitive’ relationship with fellow judge Oti Cheryl has addressed the feud rumours between her and judge Oti Mabuse on BBC1’s primetime talent show The Greatest Dancer. The former Girls Aloud singer, 35, revealed that Oti, 28, has been seen ‘stealing acts’ and is ‘way too competitive.’ But the mum-of-one laughed off any rivalry with the Strictly professional, saying she ‘loves’ her rival judge. ‘I love Oti,’ she said. ‘The thing is, she is so cute she gets away with it.’ Jade and Leigh-Anne announced Comic Relief climb with Dani Dyer A group of celebs climbing a mountain for charity was always going to be amazing, but Comic Relief has announced the stars taking on Mount Kilimanjaro this year include Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirwall…

She’s been given a new lease of life with her fashion business, thanks to hubby David who injected more funds into the company last week. But the despite his help, we can reveal Victoria Beckham isn’t happy, and has become ‘tired’ of the handouts. So much so, that she now wants to leave the UK, in a bid to start a new ‘challenge’ overseas. ‘Victoria doesn’t like the idea of David having to help her out,’ a source close to the Beckhams tells Now . ‘She feels he has all the control and it’s worse now he’s bailing her business out with millions! She wants it to stop and thinks being abroad will be an opportunity to start something new.’ Last week, it emerged that David had given her company…

Belly laughs and bants for Becks WHEN: 30 JANUARY WHERE: TRISHNA, LONDON Something seemed to have tickled David Beckham and we don’t think it was the spicy dishes on the menu. The 43-year-old couldn’t seem to control his giggles as he dined out with his pals, including his bestie Dave Gardner, at a posh Indian restaurant. Maybe they were just really happy to be having a lads’ night out. Whatever the banter, it looks like David was having the time of his life. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall! Garraway is blown away! WHEN: 30 JANUARY WHERE: SMOOTH RADIO, LONDON Good Morning Britain host and radio presenter Kate Garraway looked totally windswept last week as she arrived for her radio show. The 51-year-old was sensibly…

Emily Blunt Pink is meant to be pretty but the 35-year-old’s dress got tongues wagging for all the wrong reasons. Some even likened its flaps to a vagina! Sorry to be so Blunt. Lupita Nyong’o You’d think Lupita, 35, was gearing up for a gymnastics competition with this leotard-style frock. But we’re not head over heels about the net skirt. Alison Brie We think Glow’s Alison may be feeling the heat from all the lights and cameras. Why else would the 36-year-old have come dressed as a human hand-held fan, complete with matching blades? Madeline Brewer Forget Orange is the New Black , the actress, 26, from the hit Netflix show has opted for a heart-stopping red, which is alarming in itself. The…

Lindsay Lohan, 32 She’s currently on our TV screens in Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club , so she’s used to life on a sun-kissed party island, but it appears her red hair and fair skin are not. Better slap on some factor 50 next time, Lilo! Sarah Michelle Gellar, 41 You may think the actress just nodded off on a sunlounger, but the former Buffy The Vampire Slayer star explained her motherly duties to her two kids are actually what got in the way. ‘Parents – when reapplying sunblock on your children, don’t forget about yourself.’ Lily Cole, 31 Supermodel Lily should really know to take better care of her skin. But somehow, even with the red tinge, she’s still beautiful. Could we be…

‘Hands clasped over my mouth, another wave of morning sickness hit me. It was awful but it seemed a small price to pay for bringing two precious lives into the world. It’d been a huge shock when I’d found out I was carrying twins, especially since me and my partner, Jonathan, 32, hadn’t planned on starting a family just yet. I was already 10 weeks pregnant when the doctors had told us and after some time to adjust, our shock had turned to excitement. Double trouble The only downside was the horrible morning sickness, and my stomach growing at an alarming pace. With each and every scan, though, we were assured everything was going well. Then, at 33 weeks, a doctor said one of the babies had stopped growing. ‘They’ll…

For the day before: ONE-STEP PREP If one thing guarantees tanning success, it’s exfoliated, flake-free skin. Bodybrushingfeels too brutal in February and scrubs fall down the plughole, so instead try Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Anti-Aging Smoothing Lotion, £4.25, full of skin-peeling alpha hydroxy acids. For the face: GO GRADUAL Leave deep bronzing for sunnier days and get a light glow with Tanologist Self Tan Drops, £24.99.

It was a shock when Chris, 26, had a testicular examination on ITV’s This Morning , encouraging men to check themselves. What came as an even bigger shock was his brother subsequently being diagnosed with testicular cancer. ‘It’s important men check their testicles regularly and are familiar with that area,’ says pharmacist Abbas Kanani (chemistclick.co.uk). ‘The main symptom of testicular cancer is a small, painless lump. The survival rate if caught early is over 90%, which is positive and should encourage men.’ While the high-risk groups are white males in their early 30s and those with a family history of the illness – it can still affect anyone. ‘All men should check a couple of times a month. The best time is after a shower, when the scrotum is relaxed…

Hi guys! This week I want to talk about Megan Barton Hanson and Wes Nelson’s split. Only days later Megan was supporting Wes at Dancing On Ice . A commendable action, but an unhealthy one. ‘Keeping an eye’ on your ex in the guise of support does nothing for your emotional recovery. After a break-up it’s a good idea to have a cooling-off period, which means no contact, no social-media stalking and definitely no watching him skate in Lycra! A time-out will give you the space to reflect on your decision to either help you moveonor realise you’ve made a mistake. My advice to them would be to have a clean break from one another, at least until the competition is over. Dear Annabelle, I…

Hi, Kelly! What’s your favourite way to keep fit? I like running and I try to do as much cardio as I can. I’ll run for about 45 minutes on the treadmill about three or four times a week. How do you motivate yourself to stay active? The feeling you get from it – when you start seeing your clothes fit better and start realising you’re just nicer to be around. What ‘s the thing you love most about your body? I love that, even when I lose weight, I still keep my curves. What’s your guilty food pleasure? I like a nice cheeseburger – one I can make at home with proper ingredients. But I also love indulging in popcorn and Minstrels at the cinema. Is there a food…

In a special edition of car restoration series Car S.O.S , former EastEnders actor Ross Kemp joins car-partsblagger Tim Shaw and master mechanic Fuzz Townshend at the British Motor Museum in Warwickshire to restore an iconic British motor to its former glory in just seven days. Here, he tells us about the show, his first car and how having a motor helped him with the ladies… Why did appearing on Car S.O.S appeal to you? I like the fact that it’s about helping people. It’s doing some good. In this episode, Brian has had cancer. Tim and Fuzz are restoring his beloved Land Rover, and now Brian knows his children and grandchildren will inherit it. That’s a wonderful thing. Do you have a long history with cars? Yes, I’ve always…

The SAG Awards WHEN: 27 JANUARY WHERE: SHRINE AUDITORIUM AND EXPO HALL, LA Lupita Nyong’o and her Black Panther co-stars Angela Bassett and Danai Gurira lead the way with a winning streak at the 25th Screen Actors Guild Awards. The film scored Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and its victory has put it as a contender to pick up an Oscar for best picture. Meanwhile, Emily Blunt landed Best Supporting Actress for her role in A Quiet Place . She dedicated the award to her husband John Krasinski, who directed and starred in the film, explaining, ‘Because he entire experience of doing this with you has completely pierced my heart directly. You are a stunning filmmaker.’ Aww! Chicago’s ‘One’-derland…

‘When your kids are reluctant to play any board games with you and your friend on a play date, but then you manage to convince them It will be fun. Low and behold the tables turn and as adult you then realize you wanna WIN on every level, wow. Then the parents end up traumatized and exhausted, it’s time for bed, oh dear lord what fun we HAD.’ Mel B ‘‘I know my boobs fell out of it and I’ve learnt my tit tape lesson, but this dress was only £20 odd quid.’’ Josie Gibson ‘I always end up watching the strangest videos on Facebook and Insta… I’ve gone from the Kardashians to someone’s spot being popped.’ Kourtney Green ‘THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHO NEEDS A WEE BUT IS STILL…

She quit social media three years ago, after being ruthlessly trolled over her weight when she co-hosted ITV’s The X Factor . Fast-forward to the present day, and hardly a moment goes by where Caroline Flack isn’t on Instagram flashing her pins – a body part she used to cover up after being bullied at school. So just how did Caroline learn to own her figure? Eight weeks ago, the 39-year-old – who split from her fiancé Andrew Brady before Christmas – embarked on a strict fitness regime. ‘I used to go to the pub after a hard day – now I go to yoga!’ With the help of her personal trainer and former Olympic speed skater, Sarah Lindsay, she transformed herself into a gym bunny, sticking to three weight-based…

Johnny, 42, appeared to be in bed, as his bearded pillow face flashed up on her screen while she made her way through security. Chances are Courteney, 54, was jetting to England to be reunited with her love ahead of his gig at Wembley SSE Arena. Sweet!

Celebland is littered with the rubble of failed Love Island couples, but one pair defying the odds are 2016 winners Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey. Not only are they still together more than two years after winning, but they’re now parents to their one-year-old son Freddie-George, and are even planning to tie the knot this year. When we catch up with Cara, 28, and Nathan, 26, on a rare baby-free evening at the National Television Awards, they can’t stop gushing over their little one – and who can blame them? From planning their big day to considering a family reality show, there’s no denying Cara and Nathan are busier than ever… Hi, guys! You’ve been on a few holidays lately. What’s Freddie like travelling? Nathan: He’s so well…

COME-TO-BED HAIR Is there anything more alluring than laid-back, tousled tresses? One look at Blake is enough to convince anyone of its flirtatious powers. Unfortunately, creating sexy bed hair isn’t as easy as just rolling out of the sheets. Mist the lengths with sea salt spray while your hair is wet and rough dry. Use a large barrel curling tong to create waves, alternating the curl in different directions. Use straighteners to smooth out the curls slightly and straighten the ends for an undone vibe. Mist the finished look with a texturising spray, raking out with your fingers. THE SCARLET WOMAN Make like Margot and opt for red lipstick – the ultimate symbol of glamour and romance – on the big V-Day. If a snog is on the cards, lock…

1 Appreciate your bod Look at your body and appreciate what it does, instead of always pinpointing what it doesn’t. Never liked your legs? Well, they’ve carried you wherever you’ve wanted to go, so be thankful for them. 2 Stop over-analysing Mirrors are your worst and best friend. You can spend ages picking out tiny flaws and imperfections, but really, nobody but you is looking at those things – everyone has enough on their plate to even notice your cellulite or slightly wonky boobs. 3 Be your own best friend You’d never say to your best mate, ‘Your arms are looking fat in that top.’ We’re guessing you’d never even think it. So don’t say it to yourself and your own body! 4 We only have one! Why beat up…

Breakfast 300 cals Fruit and yogurt with honey and nuts and a coffee ASHTON SAYS: Yogurt is high in calcium and protein, making it a great addition to any diet. Lunch 300 cals Salmon with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and spring onion ASHTON SAYS: Salmon is a great source of protein, omega 3s and B vitamins. There should definitely be fish in your diet. Dinner 400 cals Chicken with salad, sweetcorn and avocado ASHTON SAYS: Another good choice of protein, and adding lots of veg is always beneficial. Snacks 490 cals Glass of wine, four chocolate Hobnobs ASHTON SAYS The odd treat is OK, but as you can see just four Hobnobs and a large glass of red can add a lot of calories. Total cals 1,490 (GDA 2,000) ASHTON’S VERDICT…

A hot new power couple? I can’t believe Liam Payne and Naomi Campbell are meant to be dating! Surely not? Is it a publicity stunt for a new single he’s doing that she features in? Or maybe they really are an item, but he seems too much of a boy for her. She’d eat him alive! I do believe that in the words of my fave singer Aaliyah that Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number, but I just can’t imagine it. I found it hard even to imagine him and Cheryl as he always comes across as quite young in his interviews. Fair play to them both if they are though, Naomi Campbell is amazing! My new teeth! I’m still wearing my Lingual Braces (@lingual braces)…

Their PDAs have become so intense in recent weeks that Joe and Dianne’s fellow co-stars have become annoyed and the pair have had to move hotels! It’s clear the Strictly Come Dancing couple are currently in the can’t-keep-their-hands-off-one-another stage of their relationship. But is it lust or love for the dancing duo? Judi James reveals all. SUGG GETS SHY Joe walks in front, suggesting he’s less keen to perform for the cameras. The way he’s shoved his hands in his pockets show a) it’s cold and b) a desire to hide rather than pose. His raised brows signal he’s asking for advice. Dianne’s brows indicate joy – she’s delighted with the attention. LOVING THE CAMERA MORE? Joe seems to walk off from the press, with chest puffed and chin raised.…

Are Gaga and Bradley more than friends? People seem to be forgetting that Lady Gaga is engaged to talent agent Christian Carino – because fans are convinced that she and Bradley Cooper only have eyes for each other! During the singer’s Las Vegas Enigma show, Gaga, 32, invited her A Star is Born co-star, Bradley, 44, on stage to sing the Oscar-nominated song Shallow with her. Recreating arguably the film’s best scene, complete with cheek pecking, longing looks and a cosy moment on the piano stool, the pair sent Twitter into meltdown. One fan commented that their ‘chemistry is unreal’, while another questioned, ‘When will Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga admit they’re in love with each other?’ They may not be a…

1 They all – yes, all – met their wives at Hanson concerts. Mind, blown. 2 Between them the brothers have 13 kids. At least we know they have other hobbies besides singing… 3 They’re business savvy. The trio have turned their talents to beer (Mmmhops, naturally), and they host a yearly ‘musical escape’ in Jamaica where fans take over a resort. Rooms start at a cool £1,300. 4 There’s a fourth brother. Gasp. 25-year-old Mac Hanson is even in a band! The lead singer of Joshua & The Holy Rollers, might be our favourite brother, mainly because he’s kept the long hair. 5 They’re stars of the silver screen. Remember She’s All That? Silly question. Well, how about when Hanson appear as part of Mean Girl Taylor’s (yes, that’s…

‘My husband hates that the neighbours can see’ Hayley Garbutt, 51, lives with husband Maurice, 53, in Scarborough. ‘I do the housework in the nude. It’s so much nicer without the restriction of clothes. I do everything from hanging out the washing to cleaning the windows. I’m not an exhibitionist, it’s just totally natural for me. My husband does tell me off because he hates that the neighbours can see me starkers. But I honestly don’t care. The only time it was embarrassing was when my son was in his teens and he brought some friends home. That was awkward – for them. I’m sure if more of us were naked at home there wouldn’t be half the body confidence issues that exist today.’ ‘I worked hard for this body’…

Each week, a famous face gives their views on the hottest topics and invites you into their world ‘I’ve had to learn how to change a nappy – again’ I’m really loving being a mum-of-two. It’s busy, but I wouldn’t change a thing. They’re both really good babies, so having my son has been a pretty similar experience to when I had Polly. Although, I had to learn a lot more the first time around. But there are still different things to learn with my son – even something simple like changing his nappy (because boys have different bits, obviously). ‘I DON’T UNDERSTAND BREXIT!’ It’s been reported that a Brexit no-deal could cause food shortages. I listen to the news every night – it’s always in the background when I’m…

TOP UP YOUR WINTER TAN Let’s get the obvious question out of the way, why bother with self-tan at this chilly time of year? We’d argue that unless you’re just back from a fortnight in Miami (in which case, turn the page – please), your poor skin is probably sun-starved, wind-chapped, mottled and more. Winter is grim on the complexion, but even a hint of glow can make baring flesh, well, bearable again. The secret is to make it faff-free – the believable bronze of a spray tan with none of the standing-around-freezing-your-behind-off while it dries.…

Accessorise with these…

1 He’ll have the power Thermostat. Wi-Fi. The TV package. These are things you can happily let your man get, er, fully on top of. You? Not so much. ‘A lot of men like missionary, because they feel in control,’ says sexpert Dr Juliana Morris (drjuliana morris.com). ‘While others think it makes them look good.’ But who has the heart to tell them otherwise, right? 2 It’s a smother-fest Some things, like a Toby Carvery, are better when you go large. But if you’re with a hulking Hagrid of a man, then missionary can make you feel more stuck than a former X Factor singer trying to leave Syco. ‘Some women say it can make them feel trapped, pinned down and unable to move,’ says Dr Juliana. #totessquished 3 Blink…
