OHMYGOSSIP — Ralph Lauren almost stopped designing women’s clothing.
The legendary American designer recently celebrated the 50th anniversary of his eponymous brand, but the 78-year-old creative genius admitted that when he first started creating ladies’ clothes in 1971 he didn’t “really know his way around” and was overwhelmed by the responsibility given to him.
In an interview with The Times newspaper, he said: “When I did my first women’s collection Bloomingdale’s opened a shop for me right next to Saint Laurent and I said, ‘Oh my God!’ I thought I had had enough of women’s. I said to them, ‘I don’t want to go any further because I don’t really know my way around,’ and they said, ‘Ralph you’ve got to, we’ve opened a shop for you, you’re doing well, keep going.’ And then I kept going. ”
The fashion icon admits that initially the female form didn’t inspire his creations as his focus was always menswear.
But Ralph now thinks this has helped him create his own unique approach to womenswear as his designs are mostly simpler looks for ladies who don’t want to “look complicated” in their outfits.
He said: “Well I had a wife, I have a wife. And I looked at girls. And I looked at them from the point of view of a man looking at a girl, not a designer looking at them. I don’t tell women what to wear, but I would always be attracted to someone who looks natural, who don’t look complicated in their clothes.”
Ralph “doesn’t like” the term fashion and instead prefers to talk about style, as that represents who you are as a person.
He said: “I like style. Style is, in a way, who you are, and using your own sensibilities to present yourself. I never went to fashion school but I do design clothes. I do come up with the dream. I want it to be good and I want it to be timeless.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner has only just tried cereal with milk.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star baffled the internet on Tuesday (18.09.18) night when she confessed that she’s never felt the desire to pour the popular dairy liquid on her Cinnamon Toast Crunch because she doesn’t like a “soggy” breakfast.
Taking to her Twitter account, she wrote: “last night i had cereal with milk for the first time. life changing. i always liked cereal dry i never bothered to put milk”
Asked what cereal she has, she said: “Cinnamon Toast Crunch. amazing.”
Another fan asked her what type of milk she used, to which she replied: “Regular. Should i try almond next time? (sic).”
The 21-year-old businesswoman then took to her Snapchat account to explain her reason for only trying cereal with milk now and what made her decide to bite the bullet.
She explained: “So I think people were a little confused when I tweeted that last night was the first time that I ever tried milk with my cereal. That is a fact. Everyone has their personal preference, I never preferred soggy cereal. I just really enjoyed my dry, crunchy cereal, and I know there are other people out there that agreed with me.
“So I think just as a young child, always eating dry cereal and never wanting to sog up my cereal, I’ve just got used to it where I never wanted to do it until last night until Jordyn [Woods, her best friend] said I want some cereal and milk and I was like: ‘You know, tonight’s the night and I’m going to try it.’ ”
However, the brunette beauty still isn’t completely sold on the idea.
She explained: “I still prefer dry cereal but it was pretty fire and nothing was ever the same. I don’t like to put too much though, I definitely like cereal with a side of milk. I’m really not being dramatic, it’s not hitting the spot crazy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Demi Lovato’s drug dealer has a warrant out for his arrest.
A judge has issued a bench warrant for Brandon Johnson – the man who admitted he supplied the singer with “aftermarket” pills and got high with her in the hours leading up to her overdose – after he failed to turn up for his arraignment at the beginning of the week in regards to his arrest in June for possession of cocaine and driving under the influence, according to TMZ.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has told the news publication that once Mr. Johnson has been arrested, his bail will be set at $26,000.
A month prior to his arrest, Mr. Johnson was detained in North Hollywood, California, after he was allegedly found in possession of narcotics, a fully loaded semi-automatic handgun and $10,000 in his pocket.
Police then searched his home and allegedly found more guns and drugs.
Although he’ll have to face the music for his recent arrests, neither Mr Johnson, nor Demi, will be investigated over her hospital dash in July as, according to the police department, an overdose is deemed a “medical emergency.”
Just days after she entered rehab, Mr Johnson openly admitted on camera that he had supplied the 26-year-old singer with drugs after she texted him at 4am.
He said at the time: “She texted me at 4am because she’s a girl and she wanted to kick it. We hung out.
“She has long hours and stressful days so she wanted to unwind. 100 per cent she knew what she was taking. They’re after market pills and they’re much stronger. She [Demi] understood fully and it’s unfortunate what happened.
“It’s a wake-up call for her and it opens my eyes to the dangers.
“They’re fun, but they can be harmful. I’d hate to hurt anybody. I hope she’s OK. But for anyone to think there was any misconception on my behalf is absolutely ridiculous. I’m not here to hurt anybody. I care for her very much, she means a lot to me. It’s just something that happened. It’s unfortunate.”
He then claimed he left Demi’s house at 7 or 8am and she was still asleep.
The ‘Sober’ hitmaker was later found unconscious by an assistant around 11.30am and had to be revived with Narcan, a medication used to block the effects of opioids, especially in overdose.
Demi – who has battled with substance abuse in the past but had been sober for seven years up until early 2018 – was rushed to hospital for treatment and then released two weeks later in order to check into a secret rehabilitation centre.

OHMYGOSSIP — John Thomson played Eamonn Holmes in ‘Celebrity Juice: The Power Cut Special’ when he stood in for the TV presenter.
Initial filming for the episode was called to a halt when a power outage meant the team had to cancel the recording before they’d had a chance to play any games with the guests.
A week later, the panel – featuring host Keith Lemon (Leigh Francis), team captains Holly Willoughby and Fearne Cotton, and guests Rak-Su, Catherine Tyldesley and Joel Dommett – all returned for a re-shoot, but Eamonn wasn’t able to attend.
However, the show worked around his absence by bringing in ‘Cold Feet’ star John and he played the part of the ‘This Morning’ host.
He made sure to embrace his role on the show, and took part in a skit with former ‘Coronation Street’ actress Catherine, in which he portrayed Surgeon Nohands in a drama created by Keith.
In scenes to air on Thursday’s (20.09.18) episode, Catherine has the studio cracking up laughing as she comes in complaining of “chronic” wind.
Both Leigh and Holly revealed news of the power outage at the time of the awkward incident, taking to social media to update fans on what had happened on set.
Writing on Instagram, she said: “We were filming the show and suddenly everything went to black, and I thought it was just – it was getting a bit hot in the studio so [someone turned] the studio lights off. But that’s not the case at all.”
Leigh revealed they had got through a bulk of the filming, but hadn’t had time to shoot any games with the guests.
In his own video, he added: “The studio lights are broken, the air con is broken, the power is out in the studio of ‘Celebrity Juice’.
“We’ve got all the chat done at the beginning that we normally do, which is cut sporadically into the programme … We haven’t played any games.”
‘Celebrity Juice: The Power Cut Special’ airs on Thursday (20.09.18) at 10pm on ITV2

OHMYGOSSIP — Dawn Steele has joined the cast of ‘Holby City’.
The ‘Wild At Heart’ actress will appear on the BBC medical drama as new General Surgeon Ange Godard, and she is thrilled to be a part of the long-running show.
She said: “I am utterly delighted to be joining the cast and crew on ‘Holby City’.
“Ms Godard is such a great character with lots to tell and I am really looking forward to getting on that Keller Ward and bringing her to life.
“I have been a fan of ‘Holby’ and so pleased I get to be at Elstree studios with this wonderful team. Can’t wait!”
The 42-year-old star has been praised by the show’s boss for her “TV star pedigree”.
Simon Harper, executive producer of ‘Holby City’ and ‘Casualty’, added: “Dawn is a fabulous addition to the cast as Ange. Her TV star pedigree speaks for itself.
“She’s a brilliant, charismatic actor and I can’t wait to see her bring this beguiling new character on screen in a story of explosive secrets that will send shockwaves through the whole hospital.”
Nic Jackman – who plays Cameron Dunn – will become a regular cast member on the show when his character makes a comeback for a year to finish his training.
He said: “I am delighted to be returning to the brilliant team at ‘Holby City’. Cameron is a fun character to play and it’ll be exciting to see what he gets up to next.”
They will be joined by fan favourite Camilla Arfwedson, who will reprise her role as Zosia March next spring.
She added: “Really pleased to come back and revisit Zosia. The last few years playing her have been absolutely brilliant, wonderful and challenging in equal measure.
“Can’t wait to see all the cast and crew again too and get back into the fold. I’ve missed it and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for her.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Frankie Bridge says her husband Wayne Bridge would love to appear on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The former Saturdays star claims the 38-year-old retired footballer is keen to be chosen for the Latin and ballroom show – after he picked up some moves from the 29-year-old singer’s time in the girl band and her stint on the programme in 2016.
Speaking to MailOnline, she said: “I think he’d love to do [‘Strictly’]. Whenever we’ve had dancers in The Saturdays or when I was in ‘Strictly’, he was always getting them to teach him moves.
“[‘Strictly’ pro] Aljaž [Škorjanec] taught him how to do the figure of eight with the hips and that one comes out when he’s had a few beers.”
Wayne – who shares children Carter, three, and Parker, four, with Frankie, as well as 11-year-old Jaydon Jean Claude from a previous relationship with Vanessa Perroncel – would do well on the show if he was allowed to drink beforehand, according to the singer.
She added: “I think if he was allowed to drink beforehand he might be actually quite good.”
The pop star loved her time on the programme and she was the first contestant of the 2014 instalment to earn a 10 from the judges.
While she’s envious of this year’s dancers, Frankie has given them some words of warning.
She said: “It’s got easier now; I think the first couple of years were the hardest.
“I envy them because I know they’re about to have so much fun and it’s going to be something you get to remember forever.
“You get to learn some amazing things; it’s such a fun experience.”
“But I also feel them as well like, you have no idea how hard you’re going to work over the next three months.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Jayne Dunn hit the gym to get her confidence back after a tough six months following the birth of her son.
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress – who portrays Mandy Morgan in the Channel 4 soap – welcomed her first child, Stanley, into the world in August 2016 and admits she “didn’t feel like I was me anymore” immediately afterwards, but she got back to her old self by running and lifting weights.
She said: “You are just mum and then you kind of find your way back again. I just wanted to prove to myself more than anything that I could get back to being really fit.”
Sarah – who married personal trainer Jon Smith earlier this year – has dropped “a couple of dress sizes” since hitting the gym hard and is pleased she doesn’t feel fatigued when she runs nowadays.
She added to The Sun’s Bizarre TV column: “I’ve lost body fat and dropped a couple of dress sizes.
“I just wanted to be fit and strong and then energetic and be able to go for a run and not feel knackered.”
Following the couple’s big day, Sarah – who returned to the Channel 4 soap in July 2017 – admitted she was focusing on the “great storylines” coming up on ‘Hollyoaks’, rather than planning to have more kids.
Speaking in July, she said: “Neither of us are ready yet. We both want another one if that allows, but post-wedding we’re just focusing on getting our lives back into order, and I’ve got some great storylines coming up on ‘Hollyoaks’.”
Sarah’s latest storyline has seen her alter-ego Mandy cheat on her husband Luke Morgan (Gary Lucy) with her best friend Nancy Osborne’s (Jessica Fox) husband Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson), and Jessica recently admitted her alter-ego will be out for revenge.
She said: “There is most definitely payback. Her initial reaction is to figure out the worst things she can do to Darren and rip his life apart.
“Nancy actually turns to Sienna Blake of all people for advice and lessons on revenge!
“However, Nancy isn’t a bad person and is not violent at her core, so her conscience might get the better of her.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Shamed ‘Big Brother’ contestant Ellis Hillon has claimed she is “not a racist”.
The 20-year-old fast food worker entered the house on Friday night (14.09.18), but was removed less than 24 hours into the latest series after it emerged she had posted a string of “offensive and unacceptable” tweets in 2014 – and she has now issued a statement declaring she is “deeply ashamed” of her behaviour.
In a statement, she said: “I want to stress how sorry I am about any offence and upset that was caused due to what I have said on social media.
“I understand that I was totally in the wrong and I should never have said such horrible things.
“All the comments were from my teenage years and I am deeply ashamed of them. I didn’t stop to think how they could be so hurtful at the time.
“I am totally heartbroken at the fact that my dream of going on Big Brother has ended this way and I wasn’t able to show people the ‘real me’.
“If I had been given the chance I would have shown everyone that I’m not racist. I was getting on very well and interacting with the other housemates from different backgrounds and I want people to know that I’m not a bad person. I hope people can forgive me.”
Following her premature ‘Big Brother’ exit, the Glasgow native’s job at McDonald’s is said to be in doubt.
A McDonald’s spokesperson recently said: “We do not comment on individual employees but can confirm we are looking into these alleged social media posts.”
A spokesman for ‘Big Brother’ said: “As a result of our investigation into offensive and unacceptable posts on social media, Ellis Hillon has been removed from the Big Brother house.”
On Sunday night’s (16.09.18) episode, Ellis was summoned to the Diary Room where she was handed a piece of paper with the tweets on and asked if she had sent the messages.
She said: “Yeah I did, years ago … but yeah.”
Big Brother then said: “Big Brother does not tolerate offensive language. As a result we will be removing you immediately.”
When asked if she had anything to say, she replied: “No. Apart from that I’m sorry. I don’t want to see anyone. I just want to go home.”
Ellis’ posts have now all been deleted.

OHMYGOSSIP — Mariah Carey has returned with the playful new song ‘GTFO’.
The 48-year-old singer has been hard at work in the studio working on her first album since 2014’s ‘Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse’, and the lead track was intended to be “light-hearted” before the star bares her soul.
She said: “I wanted to give my fans and everyone a first listen that wasn’t so serious.
“I’ve had so much fun making this album, and I wanted the first moment to reflect that light‐hearted spirit.”
The second single ‘With You’ is due to follow in October.
Mariah – who announced plans to extend her Las Vegas residency ‘The Butterfly Returns’ into 2019 – recently said the record will cover the whole range of emotions she has been feeling following her highly-public split from her ex-fiance, billionaire businessmen James Packer, in 2016.
She said: “I’ve been working on my new album for a while. This is a labour of love and I’m really excited. This is me at this moment in my life being able to express myself as a writer and a singer. I’m just really in a good place.
“My fans just want to hear me express myself and speak from the heart and sing from the heart. Some of the record is lighthearted and fun, and some [songs] I really went deep in terms of the lyrical content. There’s a nice cross-section of things.”
The ‘Hero’ hitmaker – who has seven-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-husband Nick Cannon – released the single ‘I Don’t’ with rapper YG last year.
The song was previewed during an episode of her E! docuseries, ‘Mariah’s World’, and samples the Donell Jones song ‘Where I Wanna Be’.
A title and release date for Mariah’s 15th studio album is yet to be confirmed.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ray Winstone encouraged ‘Doctor Who’ star Bradley Walsh to return to acting.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ actor has been hosting quiz show ‘The Chase’ since 2009 but his pal Ray insisted he should return to acting, leading Bradley to nab a role in the latest series of ‘Doctor Who’, starring Jodie Whittaker as the Time Lord.
Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, Bradley revealed Ray said to him: “Enough of the quiz shows. Why don’t you do more acting? Get back into acting. Get back into acting. You are a good actor.”
And Bradley, 58, soon landed a role in the eagerly-anticipated new series, although show boss Chris Chibnall initially kept him in the dark about who would be taking over as the Doctor.
He said: “[Chris told me] ‘we can’t tell you but we want you to do it. Trust us. Trust us. It will be an unbelievable journey’. I said ‘I’m in. A leap of faith. Why not?'”
And Bradley is hugely impressed with Jodie, who has taken over the role from Peter Capaldi.
He said: “If there are any ‘Doctor Who’ fans out there, Jodie is magnificent. It was unbelievable. It is really big stuff and they have gone for it.”
The new series is set to be aired on Sundays instead of Saturdays and the first episode is titled ‘The Woman Who Fell To Earth’.
Chris recently said: “New Doctor, new home! Jodie Whittaker’s Doctor is about to burst into Sunday nights – and make the end of the weekend so much more exciting.
“Get everybody’s homework done, sort out your Monday clothes, then grab some special Sunday night popcorn, and settle down with all of the family for Sunday night adventures across space and time.
“Also, move the sofa away from the wall so parents can hide behind it during the scary bits. The Thirteenth Doctor is falling from the sky and it’s going to be a blast.”
‘Doctor Who’ will kick off on Sunday, October 7 on BBC One.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sky and Channel 4 have no plans to acquire ‘Big Brother’.
The Endemol TV series has been axed after 18 years, with Channel 5 announcing that the current series will be its last and hopes for it to be picked up by another broadcaster have been dashed after both Sky and Channel 4 ruled themselves out.
When asked if it would ever air ‘Big Brother’ again, Channel 4 – which dropped the show in 2009 – insisted that it will not be back on the channel.
A message on Channel 4’s Twitter account read: “Hi there, there are no intentions to air #BigBrother on Channel 4 again.”
And replying to a Twitter user, Sky’s account said: “Good Afternoon, there are no plans for Sky One to show Big Brother I’m afraid.”
Host Emma Willis, 42, admitted the decision by Channel 5 to ditch the show came as a shock but she is hopeful it will be picked up by a rival broadcaster.
In a video message, she said: “This is a very strange ‘What You Talking About Willis?’ today because normally it’s a ‘Yay! It’s the launch!’ of our civilian series. But the excitement comes with really a lot of sadness because we have all found out today that ‘Big Brother’ is no more on Channel 5. I feel like I’ve been through this process before. Well I have been through this process before because I worked on the last year on Channel 4 and we like … buried it. Like, genuinely. We had a grave for it and everything in the back garden and then the next thing we know is, ‘Oh wow, it’s coming back.’
“So, the news was a shock, if I’m honest, but I kind of still hold out hope that somebody out there, loves it as much as we all do still and will give it a home in the future because it has been on the TV for a bloody long time and you know it’s part of our popular culture. So it would be sad. It would be sad to see its end at the age of eighteen. It’d be lovely to see it come back for its twentieth anniversary.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Glenn Close can’t imagine ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ without James Gunn.
The ‘101 Dalmatians’ actress starred as Nova Prime in the 2014 film and says it’s “sad” that the director was fired from the blockbuster franchise earlier this year over a series of controversial tweets he previously posted.
The 71-year-old actress doesn’t feel it’s right to dig up things people have said in the past that may be “politically incorrect” and hold it against them, though she admits that Gunn is a “flawed human” who said things to “provoke” people.
She told Empire magazine: “It’s hard to think of it without him.
“It’s sad. And it brings up, I think, some very tricky issues around this movement.
“I bring it up with every woman I talk to because I want to know what people feel, you know?
“Is that truly what we should be doing?
“Especially in this case, somebody [alt-right blogger Mike Cernovich] who’s known to ruin people for something that they wrote in a totally different context, what, 10, 12 years ago?
“What are we going to do, go back to our pasts and make sure that everything we said was politically correct? Who can live like that?
“I just think there’s something wrong about that.
“We are very flawed creatures. Look at what we are doing to our f***ing world.
“It’s a question I was talking to somebody about last night – you have somebody that actually has the creative energy to create something like ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’.
“He’s a flawed human being. He was a, you know, cocky asshole then, and was saying things to provoke people.
Does that negate him as an artist?
“I don’t think so. I personally don’t think so.
“Or else we’re taking down buildings and paintings – you know, take down all the Picassos, he treated women terribly.
“If it’s going to be a lasting cultural revolution, which is a big change, if … we’ve got to take into consideration human nature.”
Disney and Marvel both considered Gunn’s tweets to be completely unacceptable in the #MeToo era.
However, the ‘Guardians’ cast – which includes the likes of Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista – called for him to be reinstated as the director.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rashida Jones was inspired to make a movie about her father Quincy Jones because his story “is also the story of black America”.
The 85-year-old music producer is the focus of a new Netflix documentary ‘Quincy’, directed by his daughter Rashida, 42, and she believes now is the perfect time for this film.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: “My dad’s story is also the story of black America. He was born in the 30s. He’s seen every decade since. He’s been relevant in every decade since so we’re dealing with a lot of race stuff in this country and it’s important to tell the stories of the past. It’s the only way we can learn. It’s the only way we can change and evolve and this is the great way to do it.”
Rashida co-directed the film with Alan Hicks, who is in awe of Quincy’s vast achievements throughout his decorated career.
He said: “I would learn something every day because Rashida and I would work in the archives and just pour over all the material and you’d find out a new thing every day. For example, I found out that he was in the room with Miles Davis when he recorded Kind Of Blue. And then you found out that he had the first music that was ever played on the moon and that he made all of these discoveries like Will Smith and Oprah Winfrey.”
Rashida added: “I am constantly in awe of how much he’s managed to cram into a lifetime. He’s not done. He’s 85 and he’s not done.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande has been listening to Mac Miller’s music as she tries to come to terms with his sudden death.
The 26-year-old rapper was found dead at his home in Los Angeles earlier this month after suffering cardiac arrest following a suspected overdose and his ex-girlfriend Ariana, 25, has been listening to his new album ‘Swimming’.
She shared two Instagram stories in which she revealed she had been listening to ‘Ladders’ and ‘Dunno’, which is believed to be about her.
This comes after Ariana broke days of silence to play tribute to Mac following his death.
She shared a video of him on Instagram and wrote: “i adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will.
“I can’t believe you aren’t here anymore. i really can’t wrap my head around it. we talked about this. so many times. i’m so mad, i’m so sad i don’t know what to do.
“You were my dearest friend. for so long. above anything else. i’m so sorry i couldn’t fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved. i hope you’re okay now. rest.”
Meanwhile, Mac’s friend Shane Powers recently insisted Ariana was “all about” helping Mac get sober after the singer came under fire from online trolls who blamed her for Mac’s untimely death.
Speaking on his podcast, The Shane Show, he said: “They were very much in love and I have to say, she was incredible when he was first sobering up. She was a f***ing G to him. There could not have been anybody more supportive of him being sober than Ariana. I saw that, I was around it, I took phone calls from her. ‘How do I help? What do I do?’ This little girl was unbelievably involved and helpful to him being healthy. Whether he’s an addict or not, the way that Mac partied was not healthy. And there was no one in his life more ready to go to the wall for him when it came to him being sober. She was an unbelievably stabilising force in his life and she was deeply helpful and effective in keeping Mac sober and helping him get sober. She was all about him being healthy. Period.”
Ariana and Mac dated for two years before breaking up in May. She is now engaged to actor Pete Davidson.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Sheeran has hit out at cuts to music education in state schools.
The ‘Shape of You’ hitmaker has warned that slashing of funding to music education will directly affect the music industry in the UK and revealed he was “benefited hugely” from the music education provided at his own state school.
Sharing a link to an article about the cuts on Instagram, Ed, 27, wrote: “I feel very strongly about this. I benefited hugely from state school music, as I’m sure many other UK musicians have.
“If you keep cutting the funding for arts you’re going to be damaging one of Britain’s best and most lucrative exports. Anyway, one to think about.”
Meanwhile, it was recently claimed that Ed will peak in his mid-40s.
Murray Cummings, Ed’s cousin, has dedicated the past eight years to producing a documentary based on his famous relative called ‘Songwriter’, and after doing his research and judging the ‘Perfect’ hitmaker’s idols’ longevity, he expects Ed to continue to mature as a writer for the next 18 years or so.
He said: “I can’t wait to hear what he does next. Because I know his musical influences and that he grew up on Bob Dylan and Van Morrison, I really want to hear the album that he makes at 45.
“Maybe it is the commercial peak now but it is definitely not the songwriting peak.”
The film, which has been bought by Apple, will follow the singer’s early busking days right up to his record-breaking hit song ‘Shape of You’, and is set to reveal his secrets to making chart-topping hits.
Murray explained: “I always felt my documentary about him would be about him doing small gigs but then he became Ed Sheeran.
“So I thought, ‘What original take could I do that only I could do?’ And my passion when he was working was watching him make a song.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Roxanne Pallett has written a letter of apology to Ryan Thomas.
The disgraced former ‘Emmerdale’ actress caused outrage when she falsely accused Ryan of punching her during ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, only to admit afterwards she “got it wrong” and Roxanne, 35, has now reached out privately to Adam to apologise.
A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Roxanne decided to write Ryan a letter of apology shortly after deciding to leave the house and having been interviewed by Jeremy Vine and Emma Willis.
“She gave the note to a member of show staff to pass on to Ryan once he left the house rather than attempting to give it to him directly.
“Understandably there was a lot of commotion when Ryan excited the house victorious and he hasn’t been able to receive the letter yet.
“He’s aware of its existence though and it’s expected that he’ll receive it next week to be able to read it.
“He’s decided not to mention its existence publicly as it’s unlikely to make much of a difference considering what he’s already been put through.”
Ryan, 34, went on to win the show and admitted he would be prepared to forgive Roxanne following her false allegation.
He said: “Can I be really, really honest I don’t know what’s been said about Roxanne I only know what I went through when I was in ‘Big Brother’.
“I really don’t wanna fuel something I feel Roxanne has gone through without me, you know coming out here, and I feel as if I don’t know enough about the outside world to start commenting.”
