s it just us, or does Christmas appear to start earlier every year? Don’t get us wrong, we love the festive season, but it’s rapidly becoming clear that us Brits are divided into three camps when it comes to putting the decs up. One abides by the old ‘second weekend in December’ rule; one gets them up as soon as December 1 dawns; and there are growing numbers who’ve barely heard a jingle bell on the telly before rocking out the tinsel. Last week, before we’d even had time to get used to the festive telly ads, celebs like Kelly Osbourne, Jodie Marsh, Tom Fletcher and

Megan McKenna were proudly showing off their festive creations. In November…! And aren’t people starting to get really competitive about doing up their homes for Christmas, especially thanks to social media? A battered, if well-loved, old tree just won’t cut the mustard – now it’s giant ﬁrs and bling all the way. Meanwhile, the rest of us are trying to get our heads around the massive amounts of shopping, cleaning, decorating and prepping that lie ahead before we can enjoy the party season. We’ve given you a hand on the shopping bit – check out our Fashionista Special on p60 for the cutest Crimbo buys.

Back in October, Kim Kardashian West was whipping up a storm at Paris Fashion Week, delighting her legions of fans with an array of carefully chosen, headline-grabbing outfits. On the arm of rapper husband Kanye West, who was there to promote his £10 million fashion collaboration with Adidas, life couldn’t have been sweeter. The pair were the golden couple of the moment, flaunting their wealth and fame as they party-hopped and mingled with the glitterati, with not a care in the world. Kim filled her Instagram chock-a-block with envy-inducing snaps of her expensive designer outfits and multi-million-pound diamonds – ensuring her 87 million followers were kept up to date with her lavish lifestyle.

NORTH AND SAINT ‘UNDER THE CARE OF NANNIES’

s their parents go through the most difﬁcult time in their marriage, careers and lives, the couple’s two young children are being cared for by nannies. People magazine reports that life has been ‘routine as usual’ for North, three, and 11-month-old Saint. According to the source, the kids were already being cared for by nannies after Kim ﬂew to New York to attend the Angel Ball – before jetting back to California to visit Kanye, after his hospitalisation.

men disguised as police officers, Kanye was in the US performing at a gig almost 6,000 miles away in New York. After he heard about the robbery, he immediately walked off stage. Kim’s attack affected and changed her immeasurably. Shaken, scared and full of self-blame for flaunting her wealth to the world, she flew back to Los Angeles and holed up at her mum Kris Jenner’s house, shunning the world. Reports later emerged claiming the reality TV star was undergoing two hours’ intense therapy a day – and it was clear she was struggling to cope with what she’d been through. Not only that, but Kim also faced a barrage of negative publicity, with some sectors of the media blaming her for the robbery, hinting she’d brought it on herself by flaunting her vast wealth.

Gone was the conﬁdent, self-publicising, fame-lover for whom nothing was offlimits to her adoring public. ‘She’s not doing that well,’ her sister Khloé admitted, nine days after the attack. ‘It’s incredibly traumatic what happened to her. It will take time.’ During this period, cracks began to appear in the Wests’ marriage. As Kim, 36, became increasingly reclusive, she cut Kanye, 39, out of her life, refusing to join him on his Saint Pablo tour. ‘Kim has shut herself off from Kanye,’ a source told Reveal in the aftermath of the attack. ‘She’s emotionally cold, and there’s a fear their marriage is on the brink right now.’ As he continued his gruelling tour alone, Kanye reportedly became desperate to have Kim and their children, North and Saint, by his side. ‘Kanye begged Kim to bring the kids and join him on tour,’ says a source. But Kim allegedly refused, and Kanye grew more and more stressed, acting erratically and embarking on a series of bizarre rants on stage. According to sources, Kanye fell apart after losing Kim’s full support and attention following the robbery. ‘Kim was usually the more stable and strong person in the marriage,’ says a source close to the pair. ‘Kanye is used to leaning on her. Since she’s had her own issues to deal with, the roles have been reversed. Kanye has had to stay strong to support Kim, and it’s like he can’t handle it any more.’ The result was a series of on-stage meltdowns that culminated in Kanye cancelling the ﬁnal 21 dates of his tour and being admitted to hospital last Monday. As we went to press, he was being treated at LA’s UCLA Medical Center for ‘exhaustion’ and ‘sleep deprivation’. Kim, who was supposed to make her big comeback at the Angel Gala in New York the night Kanye was hospitalised, dropped everything and rushed to his bedside. It’s a huge fall from grace for the formerly untouchable couple, who have had to deal with two massively

THE REASONS BEHIND KANYE’S MELTDOWN From wife Kim’s terrifying gunpoint robbery, worries over ﬁnances and his major fallout with ‘big brother’ Jay Z, we look at the decline of Kanye West in recent weeks, and the factors culminating in his ‘psychotic meltdown’…

NO ATTENTION FROM KIM Almost two months on from her horriﬁc armed robbery in Paris, Kim Kardashian West, 36, has been keeping an unusually low proﬁle. The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has stayed out of the public eye almost completely. Yet insiders have now claimed that Kim’s ordeal has also affected her personal life, and that her two-year marriage to Kanye, 39, has been put under immense strain. ‘Kim has had a very rough time since the robbery. It hasn’t helped that Kanye has been touring,’ a source said. ‘Kanye is falling apart now, because Kim hasn’t given him her full attention’.

FINANCIAL WOES Earlier this year, Kanye shocked fans with a tweet announcing he was in a serious amount of debt. ‘I write this to you my brothers, while still $53 million in personal debt. Please pray we overcome…’ he wrote. In the past ﬁve years, the budding fashion designer is said to have lost

£46 million from his women’s clothing line and his collaboration with Adidas. Kanye’s bizarre fashion show for his current line, Yeezy, also went viral for all the wrong reasons in October (models were seen fainting on the runway due to overheating). At the time, insiders claimed he had a ‘nervous breakdown’ and ﬁred 30 members of his team ‘on the spot’. Kanye has also been spending obscene amounts of money on the renovation of his and Kim’s Californian mansion. Kanye’s vision of his perfect home has already cost them a rumoured £6.4 million – yet the family haven’t even spent a night at the property, bought two years ago. ‘Kim was complaining that they had sunk £6.4 million into the Hidden Hills remodel, and that Kanye just can’t make his mind up,’ a US source said.

GRIEVING OVER HIS MOTHER While insiders have described Kanye’s ‘temporary psychosis’ as ‘a combination of a lot of issues – stress, anxiety and paranoia’, November is also a notoriously difﬁcult time for Kanye. It’s been nearly a decade since his mother, Donda West, who Kanye described as his ‘biggest

Beyoncé wants Jay Z to offer an olive branch fan’, died on November 10, 2007, aged 58, following complications during a cosmetic surgery procedure. ‘This time of year always brings him a lot of pain. He keeps that pain internalised, but sometimes he will talk about how hard this time of year is for him,’ said a US source. In June last year, Kanye spoke about his guilt over his mother’s death. ‘My mum… If I had never moved to LA, she would be alive,’ he said. ‘I don’t want to go far into it because it will bring me to tears.’

THE JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ FALLOUT Sources report how tension between Kanye and Jay Z has been a major factor in Kanye’s meltdown. Jay famously swerved Kim and Kanye’s 2014 wedding, and it seems a second snub from Jay was more than Kanye could take. During the Seattle leg of his Saint Pablo Tour in October, he hit out at Jay for not visiting him in the wake of Kim’s robbery. Then, 24 hours before news of his ‘psychotic meltdown’ broke, Kanye launched into yet another rant at his gig in California. He accused Beyoncé of refusing to perform at the VMAs ‘unless you won the Video of the Year over me’, adding, ‘You still ain’t called me. Jay Z, I know you got killers. Please don’t send them on my head.’ Yet Beyoncé is now reportedly urging her husband to reconcile with Kanye, following his hospital admission. According to the source, Beyoncé is urging Jay to let bygones be bygones, and Jay is coming round to the idea. ‘They are thought to be making plans quietly and in private to avoid any media storm, but just to let him know they are there for him.’ Lauren Hill-Roger

WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED? SATURDAY NOVEMBER 19 During a gig in California, Kanye descends into a bizarre rant over long-term friends Jay Z and Beyoncé. He leaves the stage after 30 minutes and just four songs. SUNDAY NOVEMBER 20 Kanye cancels his Inglewood gig just three hours before he’s meant to be appearing on stage.

MONDAY NOVEMBER 21 Kanye cancels the remaining 21 dates on his Pablo Tour. US sources report that Kanye started ‘acting erratically’ at his personal trainer Harley Pasternak’s home. A call was made at 1.20pm with reports of a disturbance, with insiders suggesting Kanye attacked Harley. Kanye is then admitted to UCLA Medical Center ‘at will’, although some reports suggest he was handcuffed. He’s now said to be undergoing a psychiatric assessment ‘for his own safety’.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 22 Kim is spotted arriving at LAX airport from New York, where she was due to make her ﬁrst public appearance since the Paris robbery at the Angel Ball. She rushed straight to Kanye’s side. WED NOVEMBER 23 Kim leaves Kanye’s bedside for the ﬁrst time, with a bodyguard in tow. US sources add, ‘They are taking it day by day. He [Kanye] understands that getting help at the hospital was completely necessary.’

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 24 Kanye is thought to have spent Thanksgiving in hospital with Kim.

2ST HEAVIER AND NEVER FELT

SEXIER

Amid growing speculation she’s expecting her ﬁrst child with boyfriend Liam Payne, insiders reveal how Cheryl is embracing her gorgeous new curves

lmost a year after her split from husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini, Cheryl is barely recognisable from her former self. There are, of course, the ongoing rumours that Cheryl, 33, is pregnant with her ﬁrst baby after going public with One Direction’s Liam Payne, 23, in February, which she still refuses to address. But one thing is for sure – the former Girls Aloud singer looks positively glowing. Although her public appearances have been few and far between recently, Cheryl stunned fans with her healthier new look at her perfume launch last month (see main pic). And, with killer new curves to boot, insiders tells us Chezza has never felt so good. ‘Cheryl is absolutely loving life right now. She’s been telling friends she has never felt sexier,’ our source tells us. ‘This is totally new territory for her and she’s never had a body like this before. Cheryl has put on nearly 2st from a year ago, but far from worrying about it, she’s totally embracing it. ‘She knows her new shape looks good and she feels healthier and more conﬁdent, too.’

appearing worryingly slim in a cropped black top that accentuated her protruding ribs. At the time, she hit out against body-shamers on Twitter and said that her shrinking frame had been caused by the grief of losing her father-in-law. It has since been revealed how JB’s alleged ‘unreasonable behaviour’, as stated on their divorce papers, was a big factor in her drastic drop in weight. ‘It caused stress and weight loss,’ the court papers read. The couple, who wed in July 2014, were granted a divorce last month. Since her marriage breakdown and quitting The X Factor last December, Cheryl has been splitting her time between the UK and LA with Liam. In a recent interview, she gushed, ‘I’ve never been happier’, and spoke about her new domestic life and her bid to perfect Jamie Oliver’s recipes at home. Our source added how Cheryl has also had a complete overhaul of her lifestyle and diet. ‘Cheryl is being ultra-healthy. She’s eating oats, rye bread, wholegrain rice and white meat, which keep her skin glowing and her body healthy,’ they tell us. She also appears to have thrown out her old, and rather wacky, fashion-forward outﬁts, and replaced them with dresses and jumpsuits, which conceal her midriff. ‘Cheryl has been having a lot of fun with her new, fuller ﬁgure and has really enjoyed shopping for new clothes,’ the source says.

One fan joked on Twitter, ‘Is it going to take you six weeks to name him?’ (the couple took three weeks deciding on Amelia’s name.) ‘We’ll try and do it in five this time,’ the star replied. We’ll believe it when we see it, Peter! Before the birth, Emily, 27, and Peter, 43, nested at Emily’s parents’ place in Taunton, Somerset, so her paediatrician mum, Rebecca, and consultant surgeon dad, Ruaraidh, could lend support. Days before the birth, Peter said he was anxious to leave his heavily pregnant wife at home, because he had an inkling their second child might come early, the same as their first. He said, ‘After this week, I’m not going to be any more than an hour away from Emily. I worry the baby could come early.

Last month, she said she felt ‘so prepared’ about the coming festive season. ‘I have lists coming out of my ears!’ she joked. ‘I’ve done quite a lot of Christmas shopping already. I’m grilling Pete all the time, but he can’t think about what he’s doing tomorrow, so when I ask him what we should do for presents, he panics!’ Something tells us that Peter and Emily have already got one thing ticked off both their Junior, Princess, Christmas lists… Amelia and Emily Claire Hubble

t’s one of the happiest times of their lives, as Peter Andre and his wife, Emily MacDonagh, last week welcomed a newborn baby boy into their expanding brood. Yet Peter’s ex-wife, Katie Price, 38, has edged in on what should be a private time for the couple, and she’s begging to spend time with the little lad. Desperate for a baby herself, Katie has been pestering Peter, 43, and Emily, 27, to let her meet baby Andre. ‘Katie has been telling everyone that Emily has the baby she craves,’ says a source close to the star. ‘She is beyond the green-eyed monster, but she’s playing super-best friends with Pete. She sent a huge, over-the-top basket of congrats to Pete and Emily, and is demanding that she can bring Junior and Princess to the hospital to meet their new little half-brother. ‘In reality, she is desperate for a baby herself, so she’s determined to meet Pete’s new son and spend time with him. ‘She’s been pestering Pete for pictures of the baby, but he won’t send any. ‘Katie feels gutted and excluded. Emily has exactly what she wants right now – a baby – and she is dying to be involved. ‘She’s been calling Pete to give them all her love, and has said she’ll be around for nappy-changing,’ adds our source. ‘She wants to muck in with the newborn, but Emily wants precious time alone.’ Katie – already a mum-of-five – has made no secret of wanting another baby with husband Kieran Hayler, 29. Despite encountering difficulties during her last two pregnancies, broody Katie last year said she wanted to try again. ‘I’m going to keep going until the doctor says I can’t have any more,’ she insisted. Then, in September, she revealed she was planning to adopt, saying, ‘I’ve already started the process, so fingers crossed. You have to do everything legally and go down that road.’ Already a mum to Harvey, 14, Junior,

11, Princess, nine, Jett, three, and Bunny, two, it seems that Katie is willing to go to any lengths to have another child. And last week, she shockingly admitted she wanted to buy a baby. ‘I love babies, and I was thinking, “How can I get one quick?”’ she said, in an interview with The Times. ‘I know it’s hard to adopt, so I thought, “Can’t I just buy one abroad?” Do you know where you go? But that takes ages, doesn’t it?’ With her growing desperation to be a mum for the sixth time, her ﬁrst social media post after Pete announced the birth of his son was a picture of her family’s new guinea pig, captioned, ‘Another new baby born this morning.’ Peter and Emily’s baby couldn’t have come at a worse time for Katie. ‘It’s hit her like a wet ﬁsh in the face,’ says our insider. ‘She’s so torn – she wants to be happy for them, but she just feels pain because she

wanted another son with Pete. ‘Doctors have advised her not to have any more children herself, so she’s considering surrogacy, and has been telling friends she’d love twins.’ Katie is so desperate for another baby, friends say she’s become ﬁxated on the idea of helping to raise Peter and Emily’s new son. ‘She’s been telling everyone she’d make the perfect godmother,’ says our insider. ‘She’s even joked that she’ll be the baby’s surrogate mummy and look after him when Pete and Emily need time alone away together. ‘She’s obsessed, and can’t wait to see Pete’s newborn – she thinks he’ll look just like Junior,’ our insider reveals.

Then, just days later, more pictures emerged of her having a tearful conversation with a friend in a coffee shop Down Under. At one point during the animated exchange with her mate, Kylie was seen throwing her arms in the air, seemingly in frustration, as her eyes ﬁlled with tears – and her distress has left fans genuinely concerned. One wrote online, ‘Kylie, so sorry you’re looking so down – especially at this time of year. I hope you bounce back,’ while another commented, ‘Sad to see her like this. She’s lovely.

During the speech, Joshua, 28 – who’s helped launch the ‘Yes’ campaign in support of marriage equality, ahead of Australia’s vote in February – tenderly called Kylie ‘sweetheart’. Kylie has been gushing about Joshua, too, on social media and – on the same day that the coffee shop pictures of her were taken – the 48-year-old posted a picture of her and Joshua wearing matching ‘Say I Do, Down Under’ campaign tees, adorned with a love heart. Kylie and her British actor boyfriend got engaged in February – just a week after she celebrated a very special 10-year anniversary. Days before they announced their good news in The Daily Telegraph, Kylie said, ‘Today marks my ofﬁcial 10-year “all clear” from breast cancer. Naturally, my nearest and dearest were at the forefront of my mind. Behind the tears were relief and thanks and thoughts. Thoughts of all those who are making their way towards this landmark, those who are past the landmark and of those who we sadly miss.’ Kylie, now permanently based in London, has since stated that she and Joshua won’t wed until same sex marriage is made legal in Australia.

‘ADAM MAKES ME DEAL WITH THE SPIDERS AT HOME!’ Emmerdale’s Adam Thomas, 28, has had us crying with laughter as he tackles his fear of spiders during the Bushtucker Trials on I’m A Celebrity… We catch up with his ﬁancée, Caroline Daly, in Australia with their two-year-old son, Teddy, and Adam’s mum, Gail, before last week’s evictions. Caroline tells us that actor Adam’s hysterical reaction to his eight-legged phobia holds true indoors

HI, CAROLINE. HOW DO YOU THINK ADAM IS COPING IN THE WILDERNESS? I’m so proud of him. He’s having a go at everything, and he’s doing really well. He’s laughing and making people laugh – he is the life and soul of the jungle, and that’s exactly what he’s like in real life. Adam’s so much fun to be around.

HE’S MADE THE PUBLIC LAUGH WITH THE NOISES HE MAKES DURING THE BUSHTUCKER TRIALS… I knew he’d be all right with the height challenge, but spiders terrify him. I haven’t seen the Food Factory trial [in which Ant and Dec say he ‘created his own language’], because we’ve been ﬂying, but I can’t wait to see it. I’ve had loads of texts from friends saying he did brilliantly – and I hear it’s meant to be funny!

HOW’S BEING AWAY FROM ADAM? I’m missing him terribly. We’re really close,

16 reveal.co.uk

Devoted Caroline and Teddy are #TeamThomas

and we’re always on the phone to each other if we’re not together. Even if Adam’s gone to work for a couple of hours, he always rings me, so it’s been tough to be away from him.

AND WHAT ABOUT TEDDY? Teddy really misses him too. He is the spitting image of Adam, and that’s the only comfort I’ve had while he’s been so far away from us. I can see so much of Adam in Teddy – it’s like I’ve got a mini Adam with me. Teddy’s got a toy telephone and he keeps picking it up, saying, ‘Daddy? Daddy’ down the imaginary line. He’s missing his daddy a lot, but he does know he’s in the jungle.

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO TIP ADAM OVER THE EDGE IN THE JUNGLE? He seems to be doing good at the moment by winning stars and food. They’re being fed well, and I think everything’s a bit of a novelty right now – but when he starts to get hungry, that’s when it’s going to be tough.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE SHOW MARTIN IS ‘A VICTIM OF BULLYING’

Adam’s coping mechanism sounds hilarious – a must-watch!

Wayne comforts upset Martin

Jungle favourite Scarlett Moffatt and newbie Danny Baker were accused of being bullies last week, as Homes Under The Hammer host, Martin Roberts, broke down in tears. As camp president, Gogglebox’s Scarlett, 26, had repeatedly asked Martin, 53, to carry out chores – which he ignored – leading radio veteran Danny, 59, to reprimand him. Martin was comforted by the surprisingly funny and caring ex-footballer, Wayne Bridge, 36. It caused National Bullying Helpline to slam members of the camp, saying, ‘All forms of bullying or psychological abuse are abhorrent to us. It seems Scarlett and Danny are colluding and collectively targeting Martin.’

ANT AND DEC MAKE US CRINGE!

HOW WILL YOU REACT WHEN YOU SEE HIM AGAIN? I can’t wait to give him a massive hug! I never thought he’d do as great as he’s done with the spiders. His fear is very real – he’s petriﬁed of them. He’s doing it for the team, and he knows that if he doesn’t conquer his fears, the team won’t eat. That’s what’s getting him through.

SO, HE REALLY HATES SPIDERS? I’m the one who deals with them in our house, and that’s the truth. Maybe I don’t help his phobia by getting them all the time?

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PUBLIC’S REACTION TO HIM? Dapper Adam has our eyes glued to the box

He’s just being himself. I know he’s being a joker, but that’s Adam, and that’s what I love him for. I think that’s what the nation will love him for, too. Rebecca Greenow & Adam Tanswell

Presenters Ant and Dec hardly ever put a foot wrong, but viewers were left wincing at an embarrassing technical error involving the pair at the end of an episode last week. The duo linked over to their Extra Camp colleague Chris Ramsey at the end of the show as is the norm, but when the camera returned to the Geordie twosome, they were unaware they were being Ant and Dec ﬁlmed – with Ant gesturing had a TV blip to a cameraman and Dec mumbling to himself! But viewers were quick to laugh it off and offer their support, with one tweeting, ‘It’s OK, just blame it on the TV crew – we all know you are both too pro to mess up.’

JAMES: ‘I HOPE THERE ARE GOING TO BE MORE ARGUMENTS’ Strangely, the thing viewers have complained about the most this year is how well the campmates get along! And as Ola’s husband, James Jordan, 38, jetted in to Brisbane last week, he spoke of his disappointment at the nice campmates, saying, ‘I want it to be really hardcore… take away all their food, beans and rice as well. I hope there are more arguments – I’m sick like that.’ But the former Strictly pro added that fellow dancer Ola, 34, had ‘exceeded his expectations’, adding, ‘I’ve always been protective of Ola, but I don’t have to be, as I’ve seen James wants her pick a spider up. more arguments I’m very proud – I’d be terriﬁed!’

Could you brave a bug buffet? Inspired by the insect-eating antics on I’m A Celebrity, Nilufer Atik, 41, from London, winged it…

Locusts dipped in chocolate – yes, she scoffs them

’ll never forget watching Paul Burrell eating a raw kangaroo testicle on I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! back in 2004. The former royal butler’s pathetic whimpers during his Bushtucker Trial made for comedy gold. Since then, many other famous faces have gone into the jungle, chomping their way through animal parts and creepy-crawlies. Keen to see if I could do it, too, I booked a table with my partner, Matt, at Archipelago, a restaurant in central London that serves exotic insect-based dishes. To start, I went for crocodile in vine leaves with honey-poached plums, while Matt picked a more conventional starter of prawns. For his main, he chose ostrich steak and then brown butter ice cream, with a cooked bee for dessert. ‘You can have the bee,’

he kindly offered. Spotting the love bug salad – a mixture of green leaves with fried mealworms, locusts and crickets – I ignored the feeling of nausea rising in my stomach and bravely ordered that as my main, alongside some marinated kangaroo skewers. Our meal started off pretty well. My crocodile starter tasted like chewy chicken. Marinated with spices, it had a nice kick. I polished off the

‘Waiter, waiter, there’s a bug in my salad!’ lot. The kangaroo skewers were delicious and tasted like venison... although I couldn’t stop thinking about Skippy The Bush Kangaroo. The love bug salad was something else, though. There was no mistaking the fact that there were fried critters in it. As I popped the ﬁrst one in my mouth, they weren’t slimy or squishy as I’d predicted, but

crunchy. It was like adding small, roasted nuts to your salad, but with legs and eyes. I tried not to think about the eyes. Bug-tasting over, I asked Matt what his ostrich was like. ‘Lovely!’ he declared. This from a man who wouldn’t even eat courgettes when I ﬁrst met him. For dessert, I went for locusts dipped in chocolate. I almost picked the chocolate-coated scorpions instead… but I wasn’t that brave. The locusts resembled chunks of Dairy Milk. Well, that’s what I told myself. They had a crunchiness on the inside. And again, legs and eyes. I managed to eat three out of four of them. ‘I’d put those pathetic celebs to shame,’ I smugly told Matt. But then he pushed his ice cream towards me. Lying on a bed of caramel was a single bee, blackened and fat. For the ﬁrst time that night, I was struck by pest paralysis. I just couldn’t put it into my mouth. I managed to chew one wing, then spat it out as I felt its bulbous head brush against my tongue. Grabbing my glass of Prosecco, I downed it in one, shivering. Perhaps I’m not cut out for the jungle after all. Fancy an insect bite? Visit archipelago-restaurant.co.uk

tanding side-by-side on stage at the Latin Grammy Awards, after an electric performance of their new collaboration, Olvídame y Pega la Vuelta (Forget Me And Don’t Turn Back), Jennifer Lopez presented her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, with the Person Of The Year prize. ‘Marc is a living legend,’ J.Lo gushed to their audience, as singer Marc – with whom she shares twins Maximilian and Emme, eight – beamed on. ‘He’s a magical and pure artist giving away classics that’ll Their twins stay forever. are adorable! ‘He will always be many things in my life – a mentor, a soul mate, a father.’ And then – after encouragement

from the audience, who could obviously sense their chemistry – the pair shared a lingering smooch for all to see. Pretty friendly for exes, right? And as much as we love a fairy-tale ending, there’s one problem – at the time, it was believed Marc, 48, was still married to his wife, Venezuelan model Shannon De Lima, 28. Yet as he accepted the award in Las Vegas from J.Lo, 47, Marc left Shannon out of his acceptance speech. Then just two hours after he kissed the Ain’t Your Mama singer, his representatives were forced to conﬁrm that he and Shannon had separated. Later, both Marc and J.Lo – who were together for seven years before separating – went into overdrive to rubbish claims they’re back together, with her representatives saying they ‘are absolutely, categorically, 100 per cent not’. For his part, Marc posted on Instagram six consecutive pictures of him kissing different members of his team, and then kissed one of his backing singers on stage

C A kiss of congratulations!

‘We’d love to see these two superstars reunited!’

– y’know, to prove the point that he just goes around kissing everybody! The father-of-ﬁve (to three different women) married Shannon – his third wife – in 2014, three years after he split from J.Lo. Meanwhile, she had been dating dancer Casper Smart, 29, on-and-off for ﬁve years, but they split for good in the summer. To take her mind off the break-up, J.Lo has spent the tail end of the year working on a new Spanish album… with the help of Marc, naturally! In a recent interview, she said, ‘[Marc and I] worked on my last Spanish album together [Como Ama una Mujer – which translates to The Way A Woman Loves]. I can’t imagine doing it without him, because the only kind of foray I’ve had into this world has always been with him. It’s going to be exciting.’ Marc and Jennifer have a long

She recently said their divorce (her third, after Cuban waiter Ojani Noa and dancer Chris Judd) was ‘the biggest disappointment’ of her life, but admitted that, at the time, it was ‘the right thing [for them] to do’. In September, she said Maximilian and Emme enjoy them working together, adding, ‘It brings a certain nostalgia. They know we care about each other and still love each other. We have two kids together and they love to see that things are good between us.’ Soon after their split, in 2011, Marc was equally as complimentary, saying he would ‘always love Jennifer’. ‘She knows that, and my kids know that,’ he added. ‘Jennifer’s a wonderful, wonderful woman. A wonderful mother, a wonderful friend.’

hey’ve remained solid friends since they ‘consciously uncoupled’ in 2014, going for dinner together and sharing family holidays, and actress Gwyneth Paltrow, 44, continues to prove just how close she is to her ex, Chris Martin, 39. She posted this touching snap of the Coldplay singer and their son, Moses, 10, sharing a hug. ‘Here is to reunions, togetherness, family, and love love love. Happy Thanksgiving Eve, everyone. Love, gp,’ she gushed. The couple also have daughter Apple, 12, together.

e’ve seen a more serious side to Lauren Goodger since her return to TOWIE, dishing out sound advice to Megan McKenna on her relationship with Pete Wicks and steering away from the main drama. But it seems Lauren’s funny side is well and truly exposed in the upcoming Christmas special of the ITVBe show, after she and pals Bobby Norris and Gemma Collins get chased by a group of turkeys! Despite telling her Instagram followers it was ‘f***ing horrible’ and ‘so scary’, Lauren, 30, is seen laughing hysterically in pictures taken after the chase. We can’t wait for this episode!

‘RYAN AND I ARE PLANNING TO TRAVEL TOGETHER’ We chat to Emily Middlemas on moving in with boyfriend Ryan Lawrie, bagging Simon Cowell’s phone number and what those left in The X Factor house really think about Honey G

mily Middlemas has completely blown us away over the past few weeks. Now the last remaining girl in Simon Cowell’s category, the once shy, guitar-strumming teen has completely transformed into a bound-to-be pop sensation with her own distinct sound and quirky sense of style. Whether 18-year-old Emily can manage to knock Matt Terry from his spot as favourite is yet to be seen, but we’re completely hooked. Her biggest supporter, though, is boyfriend of a year Ryan Lawrie, who was voted off in favour of Honey G two weeks ago. Here, we discover what’s next for the couple.

Emily has shone in recent weeks

HEY EMILY, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE LAST GIRL? I’m so happy to be here! Simon [Cowell] is being more attentive now that I’m his last contestant and has been taking a lot of time out to coach me. The other day he said, ‘Here’s my mobile number if you need me, call me any time.’ It was so weird, I just kept thinking, ‘I’ve got Simon Cowell’s number!’ My nine-year-old self would never believe me. I haven’t called him yet, I’m too scared!

HOW IS THE HOUSE WITHOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND, RYAN? We were both really sad when he left. I was feeling overwhelmed so I think it was lots of emotions, about him leaving and me missing home, all rolled into one. He said to me, ‘You’re acting like I’m going to war. I’m coming to see you on Saturday!’

‘I’ve been missing my guitar for a few weeks, but I’d love to bring it back for the ﬁnal’ WILL YOU MOVE IN TOGETHER NOW YOU’VE HAD THE PRACTICE? We’re planning to travel around the UK and do gigs together, and maybe go on holiday. We want to go to the Maldives, so we’re going to save up. We want to be smart and make sure we are where we want to be with our careers ﬁrst, then that’ll be the next step.

The singer says she’s bagged Simon’s number

Playing our guitars together on stage would be so cool. I’ve been missing my guitar for the last few weeks, but I’d love to bring it back for the ﬁnal, if I make it. I didn’t even think I’d make it to the live shows!

HONEY G CAME UNDER FLACK FOR WINNING THE SING-OFF WITH RYAN: DO YOU THINK SHE DESERVED TO GO THROUGH?

YOU’RE SO CLOSE TO THE FINAL NOW – HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT YOUR DREAM DUET?

Honey has probably been the hardest-working contestant in the house, and she’s always tried to make her performances perfect. That weekend, she thought she might be in the bottom two and she was nervous, just like everyone else. Honey deserved her place and will still do well after the competition. Whether they’re talking about her in a good or bad way, people are deﬁnitely talking about her! Lauren Hill-Roger

‘I SEE YOU MORE THAN MARK’ Stunning Michelle Keegan admits she and hubby Mark Wright are like ships passing in the night

ust two months ago, Michelle Keegan hit back at rumours her marriage to Mark Wright was on the rocks after the pair spent long periods of time apart this year and she’d been spotted without her wedding bands on a couple of occasions. ‘Are the rumours rubbish? Yeah. We are all very good and everything is ﬁne,’ she said at the time. But it was a completely different story at last week’s ITV Gala Awards at the London Palladium, when the stunning brunette hinted she and Mark rarely see each other. As she walked towards Good Morning Britain TV presenter Richard Arnold, who was ﬁlming on the red carpet, Reveal overheard

Meanwhile, Mark, also 29, was nowhere to be seen at the event. Instead, he was busy filming Take Me Out: The Gossip in Tenerife with his co-host Laura Jackson. A spokesperson for Michelle said, ‘Michelle was joking because she saw Richard a few times in one week.’

Zayn makes a One Direction dig…

Gigi’s impression of Melania Trump has led to a racism row

… moments after seeing former bandmate Niall

AMA DRAMA P residential impressions, comebacks and awkward handshakes – the American Music Awards had it all this year. While Chrissy Teigen’s revealing dress raised eyebrows (turn to page 44), it was co-host Gigi Hadid’s Melania Trump impersonation that really got everyone talking. Through pouted lips and a fake eastern European accent, the 21-year-old joked, ‘I love my husband, President Barack Obama, and our children Sasha and Malia.’ However, Gigi was slammed as ‘racist’ by viewers, who insisted she ‘stick to modelling’. The model later apologised to ‘anyone that I offended’ in a lengthy Twitter post. Things also got awkward for Gigi’s boyfriend Zayn Malik when he bumped into ex-bandmate Niall Horan, who he shared a

cold handshake with, moments before taking a swipe at One Direction. Collecting his award for Best Newcomer, the 23-year-old quipped, ‘This one just has my name on it, right?’ On a subtler note, Selena Gomez made her return to the limelight, after cancelling her Revival tour earlier this year to seek professional help for depression and anxiety. Opening up for the ﬁrst time, the 24-year-old, who collected the gong for Favourite Female Pop/Rock Artist, said, ‘I was absolutely broken inside.’

Stepping out of a North Bondi restaurant two weeks ago, Australian rapper Iggy Azalea showed off her very shapely derrière in a pair of purple gym leggings. However, fans were quick to comment on the 26-yearold, who has come under attack in the past for her burgeoning behind.

The Fancy singer, who has been open about having a nose job earlier this year and a breast augmentation in 2015, said, ‘Of course the butt is mine.

The cruelty of the ‘teacup’ puppy craze As we approach Christmas, animal charities are warning against buying ‘teacup’ puppies that may look adorable, but come with health problems that can cost thousands in vet bills

PICTURES: BIGSTOCK, INSTAGRAM

here’s no denying the fact that teenytiny ‘teacup’ dogs, with their miniature bodies and exaggerated eyes, are absolutely adorable. In recent years, they’ve soared in popularity, thanks to celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Smith, Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton, who all own such designer pets. Only recently, Paris Hilton purchased a new brown and white Pomeranian for £6,500, which she quickly showed off to all her fans on social media. But while the hotel heiress’s very public taste for microdogs has no doubt increased demand for these trendy pint-size pooches, what many potential buyers do not realise is that owning these designer dogs can come at a price. More often than not, the tiny puppies will go on to suffer terrible health issues such as seizures and broken bones. While there’s no recognised

definition for ‘teacup’, the name is used by many breeders to sell puppies that weigh 4lb or less at maturity. And for most of the teacup breeds currently on sale – Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, poodles and Yorkshire terriers being the most popular – vets are dealing with extremely rare conditions, including the blood disease hypoglycaemia, and potentially fatal fluid on the brain. RSPCA dog welfare expert Lisa Richards explains, ‘The fine bones of these “teacup” dogs mean they are very vulnerable to stress factors, so they’re at risk of painful fractures from minimal trauma such as jumping. ‘Dislocation of the kneecap is common in toy breeds, leading to pain and lameness. ‘Dogs bred to be extremely small can also suffer from respiratory problems that severely limit their ability to run and exercise.’ She adds, ‘Hundreds, if not

thousands of dogs, will be bought in the coming weeks, and we urge everyone to be diligent in purchasing their puppies. Dogs are intelligent, sentient creatures and should not be treated as a fashion accessory.’ Sadly, in order to produce such small dogs, some unscrupulous breeders will remove the smallest puppies from their mothers at too young an age, to keep them ridiculously small – and this means they miss out on vital antibodies from their mother’s milk. But with the demand for these trendy dogs spiralling this Christmas, there’s a huge incentive for unethical breeders to produce these dogs any way they can. While they may look cute, the animal charities recommend that people really think about the long-term effects of owning a puppy. After all, there are plenty of perfectly healthy small-breed dogs that need loving homes, and these can be obtained without your money supporting bad breeders. Laura Hinton

‘WE’VE SPENT £4,500 ON EMERGENCY CARE’ SAYS SAMANTHA CROUCH, 31, FROM FAREHAM, HANTS

‘A

s I scrolled through Facebook in August last year, an advert popped up for a tiny Pomeranian Chihuahua-cross puppy. A sucker for cute, ﬂuffy dogs, I clicked on the photo. My husband, Gary, and I were already looking for a small dog, so I contacted the owner and we arranged to meet the following day. Once there, he told us that he’d bought two puppies for his kids, but needed to sell them, as the dogs didn’t get along. Although the story seemed a little odd, when I set eyes on Maggie I knew we couldn’t leave without her – she was adorable! ‘At nine weeks old, she cost £300, and was the tiniest little thing. ‘Back at home, we got her insured and booked her jabs. But, just a week later, Maggie became dangerously ill – vomiting and passing, severe, bloody diarrhoea. ‘Concerned, we rushed her to the vet, who suspected she had canine parvovirus, a highly contagious viral disease, which can be fatal. ‘Over the next 10 days, we didn’t know if Maggie would make it. Her immune system was failing, her weight plummeted and she lost her sight in one eye. ‘Our insurance covered most of the £4,500 treatment, but we had to contribute £1,000 ourselves. ‘Maggie eventually pulled through, but her stomach and internal organs were badly damaged. The vet also told us that she couldn’t be more than four weeks old – far too young to leave her mum. ‘The RSPCA visited the owner, but they couldn’t do anything because there were no puppies present at the time, which is incredibly frustrating to hear. ‘Gary and I love Maggie unconditionally, but if we’d known she was that young, we’d never have bought her. She’s still very small, wears a cat collar and visibly trembles when I reach for her lead. ‘If you buy one of these “teacup” puppies, you’re only encouraging the trade for these unscrupulous breeders. If it doesn’t feel right, walk away – there are so many dogs in rescue homes desperate for a family.’

HOW TO ENSURE A BREEDER IS LEGIT

ever buy a pup younger than eight weeks, and insist on seeing it at least once with its mother. Check that vaccination certiﬁcates and other paperwork are genuine. Look for signs of illness such as a dull, scruffy coat, runny eyes or nose and getting tired too easily. Visit more than once – if the breeder refuses another visit, he or she may be bogus.

Festive cheer at the convent

‘WE’D BE MIDWIVES IN REAL LIFE IF WE DIDN’T ACT’

It’s set to be a warm Christmas for the nuns of Nonnatus House. We chat to the cast of Call The Midwife, ahead of their Christmas special…

PICTURES: BBC, COCO VAN OPPENS PHOTOGRAPHY

t’s one of the most popular TV dramas, with episodes drawing in nearly 10 million viewers. So it’s no surprise that Call The Midwife, which has graced our screens since 2012, has been commissioned for a further three series, heading all the way into 2020. Hooray! But ﬁrst, we have the annual Christmas special to look forward to, before the sixth series starts in the New Year. This festive season, we see the nuns leave frosty east London for sunny South Africa, hoping to save a tiny mission hospital on the Eastern Cape.

‘WE’VE BECOME CLOSE’ Set in the 60s, the midwives will learn to deal with the apartheid system while caring for the poverty-stricken locals. So, get the Quality Street ready and have tissues on hand, because it’s guaranteed to tug at your heart strings. The cast tells us they couldn’t be more blown away by the success of the show. ‘It was just six episodes that meant I didn’t have to waitress that summer, and then it just

kept going and going,’ smiles Helen George, who plays bubbly nurse Trixie Franklin. Four years on, it appears the cast have become close as they reminisce about their trip to South Africa earlier this year. ‘[Filming in London], you’d never really socialise, but in South Africa we’d sit in the bar at the hotel,’ Helen, 32, gushes. ‘It was a nice little bonding activity, but it was hard, because we ﬁlmed long days. It was hot, and there were conditions that we’re not used to dealing with.’ While most of the cast jetted off, Judy Parﬁtt (Sister Monica Joan), Emerald Fennell (Nurse Patsy Mount) and Kate Lamb (Nurse Delia Busby) were left to man the east London quarters, hinting at Delia and Patsy’s lesbian relationship possibly developing further in series six. Remaining tight-lipped about her on-screen romance, Emerald smiles, ‘Someone had to stay behind, and both characters were quite delighted at the time.’ Nevertheless, the trio were keen to get back into the swing of things as TV midwives,

revealing they’d quite happily do the job in real life. ‘It fascinates me, but I know if I couldn’t cure them, I just wouldn’t be able to cope,’ confesses Judy.

‘LET’S HOPE MIRANDA COMES BACK!’ One co-star has had ﬁrsthand experience of delivering babies. Former EastEnders actor Cliff Parisi (Fred Buckle) has delivered two of his own children. He smiles, ‘You know, the head starts crowning, you see some little ears and you just give them a tug.’ Indeed! In August, Miranda Hart

announced that she wouldn’t return to series six due to conﬂicting work commitments. However, the cast say it might not be the last we see of her character, Chummy Noakes. ‘With her schedule, we hope she’ll be back,’ smiles Linda Bassett (Nurse Phyllis Crane). Helen adds, ‘What’s great about the show is that people can dip in and out and it doesn’t affect it.’ So, who is the new comedian on set? ‘We’re all boring!’ laughs Stephen McGann, who plays Dr Turner. ‘Miranda’s absolutely hilarious, though, and will always be part of our family.’ Grace Henry Call The Midwife Christmas special is on Christmas Day, 6pm, BBC One

Like most mums of young children, I spend a lot of money on disposable nappies, so I was keen to try cloth nappies, TotsBots EasyFit Star to see how they compare. I was impressed by the softness of the fabric, and they were easy to use with my 18-month-old Rafferty – they go on like regular nappies and fasten using Velcro strips. I found I needed to change them more regularly, and they are more expensive to start with (£15.99 per nappy). Their website states that you could save up to £500 in comparison to using disposables. I was also impressed by their reusable swim nappy (£10.99), and their Happy changing Mat (£14.99). Available from totsbots.com

In the same week, the reality TV show got into hot water when a Geordie Shore fan found a producer’s notes. The notes, which have been widely shared on Twitter, include prompts for the cast to discuss the previous night’s action without winding each another up too much, as this material is ‘better at night’, causing fans to question how real the show is.

Reports emerged that club-goers chanted, ‘Who the f*****g hell are you?’ at new cast members, who were ‘acting like stars’.

When she got the call from MTV bosses about returning for series eight, Vicky described feelings of ‘dread’ at ‘having to go back into the house and get pissed for weeks on end’. ‘The last series had scared me a bit,’ she said. ‘I had felt like I was outgrowing it and, as a result, I had tried harder than ever to be “crazy Vicky”. I was a caricature. I was trying to be what I thought the producers and Geordie Shore fans wanted.’ After her exit, Vicky said, ‘The show hasn’t grown up and I have. ‘I know a lot of the people in the house are going to be quite content being 40 years old and still downing Jägerbombs and bucking birds, but for me, that was just never an option.’

Rocking a dress with an extreme thighhigh split, which precluded the wearing of underwear, the 30-year-old certainly turned heads. Unfortunately, the weather just wasn’t on her side. Despite trying to protect her modesty with her clutch bag, the mum-of-one ﬂashed everything – the horror! We’re not surprised Chrissy didn’t stop for red carpet interviews, leaving John behind.

But Strictly star Louise Redknapp is eager to add a little girl to their family of four. ‘I need to get that girl I really want,’ the 42-year-old gushed in a recent interview. And Louise thinks her pro dance partner, Kevin Clifton, could be the one to help her. Both his partners from the last two years, Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge and EastEnders star Kellie Bright, fell pregnant shortly after dancing with him! Speaking of 34-year-old Kevin’s talisman-like skills, Louise smiled, ‘Bring that one on. Maybe he’s the good-luck charm I need. ‘Jamie would love another baby. I’m not getting any younger, so we’ll see what happens. But I’m in Strictly shape now, so we’ll see.’

‘My sore throat almost killed me’ Jess Lewin, from Plymouth, was left ﬁghting for her life after an attack of what she thought was tonsillitis

hen she woke up one morning in April 2016, Jess Lewin felt the tingle of a sore throat. As someone who often had tonsillitis, she assumed she just needed to take a few days off and get some rest. But, just days later, the office worker was left fighting for her life in hospital after developing a deadly infection. For over a week, Jess, 19, had suffered from a high temperature, vomiting and diarrhoea, and was so weak she could hardly move. Yet friends kept telling her not to worry, as it was nothing out of the ordinary. She says, ‘I felt so awful. I was dizzy and had a lot of sickness and diarrhoea. I really felt like I was dying, and it was getting progressively worse. ‘At one point, I posted a status on Facebook, asking my friends what they thought, but everyone just told me it was the flu.’ Jess eventually called her GP, and was told to rest and keep her fluids up. But, while she did have what seemed to be flu-like symptoms, her condition continued to deteriorate. When she started suffering from delusions, her worried mum, Tina, 48, rushed her daughter to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, south Devon. Within hours, doctors discovered she had sepsis (blood poisoning), a lifethreatening condition triggered by an infection. With sepsis, the body’s

immune system goes into overdrive to ﬁght back, which can reduce the blood supply to vital organs. It had spread throughout Jess’ body, causing serious damage to her lungs, uterus and one ovary. After a CT scan, she was put in an induced coma and rushed into theatre for two emergency operations. One was to remove her left ovary, because it was so badly infected, and the other was to insert a tracheostomy tube, to help her breathe. Jess’s heartbroken family was told she was battling for her life. ‘I was really lucky that I got to hospital when I did,’ she says. ‘The medics told my mum a few times that I wasn’t going to make it, and she said she really thought I was a goner.’ When Jess woke up, 10 days later, the tracheostomy tube in her neck meant she couldn’t speak, or ask how ill she was. She says, ‘When I woke up, I was so scared. I’d gone into hospital thinking I’d just be there for one night on a drip, but then the nurses suddenly started telling me I’d be there for weeks.’ The sepsis had left Jess so weak that even getting

I was so weak that I couldn’t get myself back into bed – the nurses had to use a harness. ‘It freaked me out. It made me feel like a 90-year-old.’ But there was even more of an incentive to get better,

because there was a new addition to the family that Jess was desperate to meet. Just a few weeks after she woke up, her sister, Ashleigh, 23, gave birth to a son, Oscar, on May 7. Jess says, ‘While I was sedated, everyone kept telling my sister to hang on. Little Oscar was born after I woke up and the hospital staff arranged to wheel me up to the maternity ward, so I got to see him. That was amazing, because it gave me a reason

Climbing the stairs was hard, and she tired easily. Still, she continued her therapy at home, and returned to her office job at a building supplies company in July. While the infection still impacts on her life, as she gets breathless and tired, she continues to improve every day. It’s caused her hair to thin, which she finds very difficult. ‘I know it shouldn’t bother me, because I’m lucky to be here – but, when I look in the mirror, it can get me down.’ Luckily, Jess has been told that, even though she lost her

Stephen Port will spend the rest of his life behind bars

The conviction of rapist and serial killer Stephen Port has prompted police warnings about those who are using apps to ﬁnd partners…

THE DARK SIDE OF DATING APPS

62 reveal.co.uk

news report

‘MY CREEPY DATE CHASED ME HOME,’ SAYS LAURA HINTON, 30, FROM SOUTH LONDON

Police are warning app users to be more wary of who they meet

illions of people use dating apps every day, and the vast majority of these hook-ups go without incident. But, according to statistics from Scotland Yard, crimes involving dating apps have risen by 2,000 per cent in the past four years. The vulnerability of victims, who meet people with a violent intent through internet dating sites, was illustrated by the recent case of Stephen Port, who used the sites in order to lure his victims to their death. The 41-year-old chef was found guilty of murdering four men, plus a string of sexual offences. He’d drugged and killed the men, as well as raping several others that he’d lured to his flat after meeting them through gay dating apps, including Grindr. Having enticed his victim with a fake profile, Port would use his first meeting with the men to slip a fatal overdose of the drug GHB into their drink. Within 15 minutes, they’d be unconscious. Afterwards, he dumped their bodies within 400 yards of his house. Port gave no reaction as the jury delivered the guilty verdicts, and as the judge sentenced him to a whole life sentence last week. Met Police officers are now under fire for their handling of the investigation, as they failed to spot there was a serial killer on the loose until Port murdered his fourth victim in September 2015. While an Independent Police Complaints Commission inquiry is being carried out into this particular case, Simon

Bailey, the national police lead on violence and public protection, says there is a direct connection between dating apps and these kinds of criminal offences. He says, ‘The rising popularity of online dating apps and websites has contributed to an increase in the number of recorded crimes. We strongly encourage users to report offences, and seek support if they become a victim of any type of crime. ‘I would urge those who use online dating apps to be as security-conscious as possible, and not to share personal data with anyone until they are sure about those they are communicating with.’ Unfortunately, many women are also being targeted through dating apps. In July 2016, Miles Donnelly, 35, admitted murdering 44-year-old single mother Usha Patel, who he met on dating website Oasis. He killed her in a ‘drunken rage’ at her home in north-west London. Chief Constable Jane Sawyers, police lead for LGBT issues at The National Police Chiefs’ Council, believes that, while apps have a role in referring victims on to police, ‘they could do more to prevent the offences in the ﬁrst place’. She also suggested apps should tell users to ‘get to know the person, not the proﬁle’ and carry warnings of the fake accounts on the various apps and sites. Ultimately, cases such as Stephen Port’s are always going to be very rare, but until safety drives like this are more commonplace, anyone who feels unsafe while on a date should make a discreet exit and alert the police.

n January 2014, I matched with a man on Tinder who seemed really sweet, so we arranged to meet at a local pub just a couple of weeks later. The date started off really well, but I soon realised my feelings were purely platonic. His attitude suddenly changed about an hour after meeting, perhaps when he got the vibe that I wasn’t that into him. Suddenly, he started putting me down, saying he didn’t like what I was wearing. He also began criticising the fact I’d chosen to have a glass of wine because he hated women that drank – which seemed odd because he’d been the one to suggest a pub date. At ﬁrst I joked back, thinking he must be nervous, but then his tone changed and I started to feel quite uncomfortable. I couldn’t believe a man who’d

sounded so nice and genuine over the app could be such a nasty slimeball in real life. Not wanting to be there any longer, I texted my housemate to say that I was heading home, then told him that I was leaving. He didn’t take it very well, though, and followed me outside. In a panic, I wasn’t really sure what to do, so I just started to run home while calling my friend and telling her to watch out for me. It was only a short distance, so fortunately she had the door open, ready for me to run inside. I don’t like to think about what might have happened if she hadn’t been there. My creepy date eventually left after we shouted out the window that we were calling the police if he didn’t go away. It was a scary experience, and it made me realise you never really know who you’re talking to on these apps.

‘I wasn’t sure what to do, so I just started to run home’

HOW TO STAY SAFE ON A DATE

● Meet in a public place – and have a nearby location in mind to go to if things do go wrong. ● Tell a trusted friend or family member where you are going and who you are meeting. ● If you start to feel unsafe, go to the bar and ask for ‘Angela’ – google ‘Ask for Angela’ for info on this new campaign.

● Don’t let your guard down after the ﬁrst date – keep telling friends and family where you are. ● Consider pairing up with a friend and go on separate dates in the same place. ● Have an ‘out’ in case the date goes badly – such as an excuse of later plans, like dinner with family.

Can lack of sleep make you fat? Julie, Aberystwyth There may be some truth in it. Research has found that people tend to eat more after a bad night’s sleep, averaging an extra 385 calories the next day – the equivalent of four slices of bread. A bad night’s sleep is deﬁned as less than ﬁve and a half hours and it’s thought lack of sleep affects hormones that control feelings of hunger and fullness. A few bad nights probably won’t make much difference, but long-term sleep deprivation may cause you to overeat. Try to wind down before going to bed and don’t take any screens with you.

My girlfriend enjoys miserable music. Could she be depressed? Isabelle, London It’s unlikely. A good indication of depression is that you lose interest and enjoyment in all the things you used to like, so if she still loves her music that’s a good sign. No one is happy all the time, and we get some pleasure from melancholy music that stirs the emotions. Music is a great way of either matching your mood or turning it around. Happy songs can be great sometimes, but some people ﬁnd them irritating and boastful: ‘Listen to me, my life is fab’ etc. So let your girlfriend enjoy whatever music she likes. If she stops listening altogether, then I’d be worried about her mood.

TYPE 2 TIPS Is it true that diet drinks give you type 2 diabetes? Marion, Fife People who drink lots of diet drinks do seem to be at higher risk of type 2 diabetes, but that may be because they have an unhealthy diet or because they switched to diet drinks as they were already eating a lot of sugar. Some people just love fizzy drinks, and it’s definitely a good idea to cut back on the sugary ones. However, diet drinks have chemical sweeteners that may not be healthy in large quantities. Icecold water is surprisingly refreshing but, if you can’t kick the fizzy habit, try half-size cans, which would help.

SIZE MATTERS?

SUEESTXION

How do I choose between a lovely man with a small penis and a boring man with a massive penis? Grace, Southampton It depends what you’re after! For most women, sex is more enjoyable in the long term with someone whose company they enjoy, although short-term sex may be more successful with a well-hung man. A small penis can thicken up with a cock ring, but take it off after half an hour to allow the blood to circulate or it could drop off! For most women, clitoral stimulation is key, and a lovely, caring, patient man will try to ﬁnd yours better than a boring man. He’s also more likely to make you laugh and relax, even if you’re not feeling much, penetration-wise.

‘I’VE BARELY SEEN SYLVAIN SINCE OUR HONEYMOON!’

With her character Maria Connor embroiled in some of the most exciting Corrie storylines of the year, Samia Longchambon is looking forward to a well-earned family break this Christmas

he wed hubby Sylvain in a romantic fairy-tale ceremony four months ago, but Coronation Street’s Samia Longchambon says she’s barely had time to see him since. With her character Maria Connor potentially facing Christmas in prison, and with an on-screen affair with Shayne Ward’s Aidan Connor brewing, it’s been a hell of a busy six months for the star. ‘This year has been amazing. It’s been one fab story after another,’ says mum-oftwo Samia when we catch up with her at Corrie’s Salford studios. ‘I enjoy it – I love my job. But when I’m at home, I try and just be Mum.’ Samia, 34, wed Sylvain, 36, at Gary Barlow’s former home, Delamere Manor in Cheshire, in August. Her seven-year-old daughter Freya, whose dad is ex-husband Matt Smith, walked Samia down the aisle and she admits it was the perfect day. ‘I was so happy I had to stop myself from running down the aisle!’ she laughs. Samia and Sylvain – who met when the actress was paired with the French professional skater on Dancing on Ice in 2013 – have a one-year-old son, Yves, and, so far, married life is suiting them. ‘Marriage with Sylvain is brilliant – when I see him!’ says Samia. ‘I don’t think I’ve had a day off work since our honeymoon [in Portugal]. It will be lovely to have Christmas together. We get two weeks off. I want to take the kids to Winter Wonderland in London. ‘I’ll be cooking dinner, as Sunday roasts are my thing. Then we’re hopefully going to France to see the in-laws for New Year.’ Samia has played Maria for 16 years and has seen her character lose the love of her life, get engaged to his murderer, lose a baby and steal her best friend’s man. But this year’s storylines may just top all that. With twisted Caz Hammond persecuting Maria for rejecting her romantic advances, Caz tries to frame Maria for her murder.

It’s a storyline writers admit has been inspired by the ﬁlm Gone Girl – and it could land Maria in prison. Then there’s the steamy affair with Shayne Ward’s Aidan Connor, who is dating barmaid Eva Price. ‘Maria frustrates me a lot,’ admits Samia. ‘I’ve stuck with her my whole adult life, so there’s something about this character that I love. But despite everything she’s been through, she’s still got this incredible naivety. It’s really frustrating. When I read the scripts, I think, “God, you’re so stupid!” You will Maria to have a happy ending, but I don’t think she’s ever going to get it.’ With her explosive storylines building, there’s no let-up for Samia – so how does she switch off after a drama-ﬁlled day on set? ‘I try not to take it home with me,’ she says. ‘Especially this stuff – it’s been really dark. You’re spending 10 hours a day pretending to be depressed and fed up and looking at a prison sentence. ‘When I leave the studios, I put on my happy music and the drive home is my way of shaking off the stress. I leave miserable Maria at the gate and become smiley Samia on the way home!’ Kelly Jenkins

o L ve it! Hollyoaks star Amanda Clapham, 26, shares the cheap beauty buy that keeps her skin looking ﬂawless, and bigs up her on-screen mum, Stephanie Waring (Cindy)

SONG? Thinking Out Loud, by Ed Sheeran. It’s such a beautiful song, and I love the video.

DRINK? My new fave drink is G&T with cucumber. I never used to drink gin, but then I tried that and thought it tasted refreshing.

FAVOURITE... DESIGNER? I do love high-street brands like Miss Selfridge, Topshop and Lavish Alice, but my favourite designer is Ted Baker. I have a really nice LBD from there with a white diamanté collar and white cuffs – very 60s glam.

JEWELLERY? I bought myself a Michael Kors watch when I went on holiday to New York. It’s really beautiful, and it glams up any outﬁt. But I also love all my Swarovski pieces.

FOOD? Salt-and-pepper sea bass with greens and shellﬁsh sauce. I usually go to my favourite restaurant, The Liberty Tavern in Liverpool, for it. It’s like an American bistro. I attempted to make it myself, and it didn’t actually turn out that bad. I was pretty impressed.

MOVIE?

BEAUTY ITEM?

Deﬁnitely Bridesmaids. It’s just hilarious, and Melissa McCarthy is brilliant in it. It always brings a smile to my face!

I like Nivea Soft moisturising cream. It’s so good and it’s not expensive, either. I always carry a little tube in my handbag for my hands. And you can use it all over your body as well.

BOOK? The Girl On The Train, by Paula Hawkins. I haven’t ﬁnished it yet, but it’s so gripping. I can’t wait to get to the end.

WORKOUT? I like cross-circuit training, as it works all areas of the body and it’s a great way to mix it all up. I usually do a combination of squats, crunches and sit-ups, as well as running on the treadmill.

STYLE ICON? I don’t really have one, but I love Taylor Swift’s wardrobe. Sadly, I wouldn’t be able to wear much from it, as she has a different shape to me. I have more of an hourglass ﬁgure, so I suit styles that emphasise my waist.

CAREER MOMENT? When I landed my role as Holly Cunningham on Hollyoaks in 2013. It was literally the best news ever. I absolutely love it there, and it’s great working with Steph [Waring, 38, who plays Cindy Cunningham]. It’s exciting seeing how she’s growing up as a character. I couldn’t imagine saying goodbye to a soul any time soon!

PIECE OF ADVICE? Just be yourself – that’s all you can do. Grace Henry
