Selena Gomez’s album nerves

OHMYGOSSIP — Selena Gomez is feeling “nervous” about her new album.
The 26-year-old singer is currently in the studio working on the follow-up to 2015’s ‘Revival’ and though recording is going well, she’s worried about making the wrong decisions so is trying not to rush the process.
She revealed on her Instagram Story: “I’m currently in the studio and it’s going really good.
“I’m just nervous about it, honestly, ’cause I feel like the next few choices that I’m gonna make are very crucial. So I’m trying to be really really diligent and just patient with everything.”
But while the ‘Come and Get It’ hitmaker is taking her time with the recording process, she’s promised her fans won’t have too long to wait before they can hear the album.
She added: “But I love you guys very much. The album is coming very soon!”
Last month, Selena teamed up with Benny Blanco, Tainy, and J. Balvin on ‘I Can’t Get Enough’ and in January she featured on Julia Michaels’ song ‘Anxiety’, but hasn’t released her own solo music since 2018’s ‘Back To You’, which was recorded for the ’13 Reasons Why’ soundtrack.
Prior to that, her last release was the series of non-album singles she put out in 2017, including ‘Wolves’, ‘Bad Liar’, and ‘Fetish’.
The ‘Good for You’ singer has also reportedly signed a deal with Live Nation which will see her go on a world tour in support of her next album, which is being produced by her ‘Fetish’ producer Leland.
Selena’s tour will reportedly include her first shows on UK soil in six years, after she last performed in the UK in 2013.
The singer was forced to pull out of the final leg of her ‘Revival Tour’ three years later, due to suffering from depression caused by her battle with autoimmune disease Lupus.

Keira Knightley plays Despacito with her teeth

OHMYGOSSIP — Keira Knightley can play ‘Despacito’ on her teeth.
The 33-year-old star has shown off her unusual talent this week as she used his nails and pearly whites to give a unique rendition of Justin Bieber’s 2017 chart topping collaboration with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee.
Appearing on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, Keira – who also demonstrated her skill with a performance of ‘Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head’ – said: “I can play my teeth.
“There was a boy at school when I was about seven or eight and he went on a talent show on TV, so he was like the coolest person ever, and he played his teeth.
“So, everybody at my school was like, that’s cool, so everybody from that school can probably play their teeth.”
Meanwhile, ‘The Aftermath’ actress recently spoke candidly about how she decided to ditch blockbuster movies and focus on what makes her happy in a bid to find a better balance in her life.
She said: “It was the only decision. It was either that or give up, so I thought, ‘OK, I’m going to try and get [my career] to where I want it and see if I can make something sustainable and if I don’t then I’ll have to do something else.’
“We are all trying to make our life the best we can, and for me it’s not going to be the best it can be if I’m doing massive studio films. The press around them is way too much for me. That’s not the lifestyle I want.”
Although she tried to not let the negativity bring her down, her young age meant she was more impressionable, and found it difficult to “please everybody” – especially when everyone seemed to want her to be something different.
Commenting on how the comments got to her, the ‘Anna Karenina’ actress added: “It can’t not. At that age all you want to do is fit in. But when you’re the girl who’s been taught to be perfect, all you want to do is please everybody. But I couldn’t be thinner and fatter at the same time.”

Emmerdale’s Matthew Wolfenden struggled to watch grooming scenes

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Emmerdale’ star Matthew Wolfenden finds it hard to watch the show’s grooming storyline.
The actor’s character David Metcalfe has no idea his girlfriend Maya Stepney (Louisa Clein) has been grooming teenager Jacob (Joe-Warren Plant) for months, and while the scenes has sparked controversy with complaints made to broadcasting regulator Ofcom, Matthew has defended the soap over the importance of such a serious storyline.
He told the Daily Mail: “A lot of people say I can’t watch it but that’s the point. It’s supposed to be horrible. This stuff happens. It was the right response.
“We wanted to shock people. It was hard for me to watch. My eldest son is eight so it was a really hard watch.”
Matthew admitted he finds it tough to emotionally cope with such a mentally taxing storyline, but when he’s away from set he turns to his wife Charley Webb – who plays Debbie Dingle on the show – and their two sons Buster, eight, and Bowie, three.
He added: “When you’re doing a storyline like I’m doing, it’s quite hard to come home and rid your mind of everything you’ve been doing that day.
“It’s so emotional The best thing is being able to come home and be with those kids.”
Last month, the loved up couple revealed they are expecting their third child as Charley shared a family photo and simply wrote “#Number3” as the caption.
Matthew previously admitted he wants to have more kids and joked he’d love to have enough to make up a football team.
He said: “I’d have a football team. It’s not me who has to go through all the hard work though. We’re definitely going to go for number three.
“We’d like the age gap to be a lot closer to our youngest. We’ve got five years between the two of them at the moment, so we’d like a bit of a smaller age gap. We’d quite like a girl, but we’ll see. My family are all boys and we’ve got two boys so the odds are we’ll probably have another.”

Katie Jarvis opens up on nightclub attack

OHMYGOSSIP — Katie Jarvis is feeling “fine” after claiming she was “glassed” on a night out last week.
The ‘EastEnders’ actress – who joined the cast of the BBC soap last year as Hayley Slater – has taken to social media to update fans on her condition after people started to ask about her welfare following the alleged incident.
She tweeted: “OK to put people’s minds, and questions to rest. I am absolutely fine thank you so much for all your concern and checking in on me but I’m a solider and been through hell of alot worse. (sic)”
Katie’s comments come after she posted – and later deleted – tweets about the alleged attack on Friday night (08.03.19) in east London, and at the time she thanked medical staff for taking care of her.
She wrote at the time: “Big thank you to the Met police tonight and ambulance service for looking after me after I was glassed by a drunken Irish man for f*** all.”
Although she later deleted her posts about the incident, the 27-year-old actress thanked her fans for their kind words and added she was “good as gold”.
Katie – who also explained she didn’t want “feelings of worry going to waste” with everything going on “in the real world” – has since told her followers how grateful she is for their support, and said the fans keep her “humble and grounded”.
She said: “People will never understand how much their support means to me either. It’s you all that keep me appreciative humble and grounded.”
Meanwhile, her character Hayley hasn’t been seen on screen later after viewers saw her convinced to seek treatment for her issues with self-harm and drinking.
She later fled the centre, leaving her baby Cheery in their care without telling anyone when she’d be back.

Harry Redknapp thinks football legends could beat Manchester City now

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Redknapp thinks his team of football legends could take on Manchester City.
The English football manager is putting former football stars including Matt Le Tissier and Robbie Fowler through their paces for his new show ‘Harry’s Heroes: The Full English’ and is convinced his team would climb to the top of the Premier League, past the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham.
He said: “They’d win the Premier League this group. A forward line of Chris Waddle, Matt Le Tissier, Robbie Fowler and Paul Merson – what would Manchester United or anyone else give you for that forward line today?”
The former football stars – which also includes Chris Waddle, Rob Lee, Ray Parlour, Lee Sharpe, David Seaman, Steve Howey, Mark Chamberlain and Mark Wright – have been tasked with losing weight and getting back into shape before they take on a German side on the pitch.
Harry added to the Metro newspaper: “Matt Le Tissier has lost 10 kilos, his body fat has come down unbelievably, but they all have. Only Razor I think has put on weight. He’s been splitting his shorts.”
The show was a wake up call for Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock, who was told he was at a risk of having a stroke or heart attack.
Dr Enam Abood told the former footballer on the show: “Your good cholesterol is weak and your bad cholesterol is higher than it. Given your lifestyle, we’ve got to do something drastic about that. If I don’t intervene, you are at a risk of having a heart attack and a stroke.”

Dark Knight trilogy returns to cinemas to celebrate Batman’s 80th birthday

OHMYGOSSIP — Christopher Nolan’s ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy will return to theatres to celebrate Batman’s 80th birthday.
Warner Bros. announced on Tuesday (12.03.19) that ‘Batman Begins’, ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ – which starred Christian Bale as the titular hero – will return in IMAX 70mm this month for a limited run back-to-back on March 30 at Universal Cinema AMC at CityWalk in Hollywood.
The 48-year-old filmmaker will take to the stage for a Q&A in between the last two movies which will be taped and shown at other screenings at New York’s AMC Lincoln Square and San Francisco’s AMC Metreon, Toronto’s Cinesphere Ontario Place and the Indiana State Museum’s IMAX Theatre in Indianapolis.
Warner’s President of Domestic Distribution Jeff Goldstein said in a statement: “Christopher Nolan broke new ground with the ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy, and this is a rare chance for today’s audiences to experience these extraordinary films as they were meant to be seen. To have the added privilege of hearing Chris’ insights firsthand makes this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
The Batman character was created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger and made his first appearance in Detective Comics issue #27 in 1939.
Nolan previously admitted that he felt perfectly suited to the ‘Batman’ franchise more than any other comic book movie because Bruce Wayne became The Caped Crusader with no actual powers other than a desire to protect his home Gotham City and somehow make amends for his parents murder at the hands of a mugger.
Asked about his experiences of working on Batman, he previously confessed: “It’s a superhero, but it’s based on ideas of guilt, fear, these strong impulses that the character has. Bruce Wayne doesn’t have any super powers other than extraordinary wealth.
“But really, he’s just someone who does a lot of push-ups. In that sense, he’s very relatable and human. I think that’s why I gravitated towards it.”
Revealing why he wanted to focus on the villains in the sequels, he added: “I hadn’t planned on doing a sequel. So shifting genres and the nature of the antagonist felt the way to take the audience on a journey and tell them something different about Bruce Wayne.”
The late Heath Ledger played the Joker in second film ‘The Dark Knight’ and his performance earned him a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar following his tragic death in January 2008 at the age of 28.

Oscar Isaac wants to make Spanish movie

OHMYGOSSIP — Oscar Isaac wants to film a movie in Spanish.
The ‘Triple Frontier’ star is keen to make a movie in his native tongue, following the success of ‘Roma’ during the recent awards season as it is also filmed entirely in the Spanish language.
He said: “I hope to make a whole movie in Spanish.”
And like ‘Roma’ found its home on streaming service Netflix, Isaac has praised these sites for being a platform for films that wouldn’t be traditionally financed in the cinema.
He added: “I got to see ‘Triple Frontier’ on a big screen with an incredible sound system and that was really amazing to see, but, you know, we are living in a very transitional time. I think that regardless of the debate … there’s a lot more opportunities to do different kinds of movies and movies that often wouldn’t get financed theatrically.”
Isaac previously insisted there is an “issue of representation” in Hollywood and he thinks that more needs to be done in order to challenge the lack of diversity in the movie industry.
He explained: “I think it really needs to start more with the writers and directors. They’re the ones that write the stories. I don’t think the reasons actors are interesting is for their representational qualities; it’s for their transformative ones. That’s where the magic trick is, where the craft is … It’s so f***ed up what happens, how people who don’t look like the stereotypical white American get marginalised. It’s the corporate entities and the studio entities that allow this to happen, who have ideas about what the lead needs to look like. Time and again, those things are disproven. So f**k yeah, you’ve got to make them put more diversity in there. You have to knock it into their brains that it’s a better business move to do that.”

Holly Willoughby braves return to Celebrity Juice after grandmother’s funeral

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby returned to work on ‘Celebrity Juice’, hours after attending her grandmother’s funeral on Tuesday (12.03.19).
The 38-year-old presenter missed co-hosting ‘This Morning’ alongside Phillip Schofield, with Rylan Clark-Neal taking her place on the sofa, as Holly revealed via her Instagram account that she was absent from the show because she was saying goodbye to her “beautiful Nan”.
John Barrowman, who was a guest on the episode of ‘Celebrity Juice’ they were filming, along with his ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ pal Emily Atack, shared a backstage snap of him with their captain Holly and the ‘Inbetweeners’ star at the studio shooting the new series of Keith Lemon’s ITV2 panel show.
John captioned the Instagram selfie: “Team #Willy @hollywilloughby @emilyatackofficial and JB @imacelebrity @itv @celebjuiceofficial (sic)”
The new series sees Paddy McGuinness takeover as the opposing team’s captain, following Holly’s pal Fearne Cotton’s departure.
Earlier in the day, Holly – who won the coveted TV Personality of the Year accolade at last night’s (12.03.19) TRIC Awards – shared an emotional tribute to her late relative.
Alongside a photo of her with her grandmother, she wrote to her 5.3 million Instagram followers: “Today we say goodbye for a little while to my beautiful Nan… go and be with Grandad… he’s been waiting for you… love you… miss you…(sic)”
Holly’s fans were quick to offer their condolences with one user writing: “Sending all my love to you all xxx so sorry for your loss xx (sic)”
Another said: “So sorry for your loss Holly May your beautiful Nan rest in eternal peace flying high with the angels & reunited with your grandad. Sending love and hugs for you and your family (sic)”
The ‘Dancing on Ice’ co-host has a very close bond with her family and often shares photos on social media with her mother Lynne.
Last week, Holly shared a picture of Lynne, 70, in a stunning selfie of the pair grinning, simply captioned: “Mumma”.

Ozzy Osbourne expected early death

OHMYGOSSIP — Ozzy Osbourne thought he’d be dead before his 40th birthday.
The 70-year-old rocker – who was hospitalised last month with pneumonia – thinks he is lucky to still be alive because of his wild lifestyle and history of addiction.
He said: “If you’d said to me years ago, ‘How long do you think you’ll last?’ I would’ve said, ‘I’ll be dead by 40!’
“Luck has shadowed me all the way. If you’d read a news story that said, ‘Ozzy Osbourne has been found dead in his hotel room!’, you wouldn’t go, ‘Oh, really?’ would you? You’d say, ‘Well, obviously!’ ”
And after so many narrow escapes over the years, the ‘Paranoid’ hitmaker – who has three children with first wife Thelma Riley and three with second spouse Sharon Osbourne – thinks he is “unsinkable”.
He added in an interview with Metal Hammer magazine: “I’ve fallen out of life shafts and windows. I broke my neck on a quad bike. There was one time when I died twice on the way to hospital. I might be unsinkable!”
Ozzy admitted his wild lifestyle used to be “fun” but could have proven fatal.
He said: “When I first tried being sober I did think, ‘I’m better than I was before!’ But that’s because before I was lying on some bathroom floor covered in piss! I just got fed up with myself.
“It was fun for a while but in the end, with all the chemicals, I’d nearly kill myself on a daily basis. I know what to do if I fancy a drink. I know how to get one of those. But right now I don’t want one.”
And these days, the Black Sabbath rocker is enjoying sobriety.
He laughed: “I don’t drink any more, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs…and I like it! I never thought I’d see the day where Ozzy Osbourne says he prefers being clean and sober, but so far, so good!
“I’m definitely singing better than I have been.”

Samuel L Jackson won’t retire

OHMYGOSSIP — Samuel L. Jackson won’t stop acting until he “can’t do it” anymore.
The 70-year-old star insists his work isn’t particularly difficult and he still thinks he has a “great job” so doesn’t have any plans to stop.
He said: “‘Til I can’t do it. Michael Caine’s still acting, right? It’s acting. It’s not like I’m digging a ditch. I go on set, do some s**t. I go back and sit in my trailer for two hours watching TV, eat a sandwich, read. And I go back and do ten more minutes and go sit down some more. So, yeah, it’s a great job.”
The ‘Pulp Fiction’ actor has been a vocal critic of US President Donald Trump but he doesn’t care if that loses him fans because it doesn’t affect how much he gets paid.
He told the new issue of America’s Esquire magazine: “This motherf**ker is like ruining the planet and all kinds of other crazy s**t. And the people think that’s okay. It’s not f**king okay. And if you’re not saying anything, then you’re complicit.
” And I wouldn’t give a f**k if I was a garbageman and I had a Twitter account; I’d tweet that s**t out. I’m not thinking about who I am and what my job is when I do that s**t.
“I know how many motherf**kers hate me… F**k I care? If you never went to another movie I did in my life, I’m not going to lose any money. I already cashed that cheque. F**k you. Burn up my videotapes. I don’t give a f**k.”
Though the ‘Captain Marvel’ star was an avid cinemagoer when he was younger, he dreamed of becoming a marine biologist, not an actor.
He said: “We looked at movies and went home and redid the movies. We pretended to be whatever we had seen that day. But I wanted to be a marine biologist.
“I wanted to be the black Jacques Cousteau, because I loved ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea’. And I loved all those pirate movies. I wanted to be on a boat out in the ocean. I always thought the inner space was a lot more interesting than outer space.”

Amy Schumer thought fame would make her happy

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Schumer thought fame would bring her “some other level of joy”.
The ‘Trainwreck’ star felt that being successful would make her happy but she believes the only thing that will make her that happy now is having a baby.
She said: “Young me thought this [fame] would bring some other level of joy. I think I will experience that with a baby. But other than that, it doesn’t exist.”
And the 37-year-old actress and comedienne – who is expecting a baby with her husband Chris Fischer – thinks there is a power to be had when a woman doesn’t “give a f**k” about what people think of her.
She added to the New York Times newspaper: “Being cool is powerful in this industry, but there’s nothing more powerful than not giving a f**k.”
Amy previously confessed she thinks being a woman “sucks”.
She said: “Being a woman sucks. It’s very difficult … We’re sexualised all the time, even when it seems crazy. I feel really bad for these girls who are so hot because guys can’t handle it. You can’t have a conversation, everything skews sexual and you’re gonna be treated differently.”
The ‘I Feel Pretty’ star went on to state women are left in “constant fear of violence” because of the staggering sexual assault figures, and says men “don’t really understand” what women have to go through on a daily basis.
She added: “1 in 6 women reports being sexually assaulted, but really it’s 1 in 3 women. So we’re not even like, is this gonna happen? We’re like, when? Like if I’m in New York and I take the subway – women, we run home at night. We’re afraid. We put the key between our two fingers, like we’re gonna be able to do something with that. We live in constant fear of violence. Just the feeling that we have all day, walking past a guy sitting alone on a bench. We just brace ourselves. And I think that’s something men don’t really understand.”

Keith Flint’s 8 dogs ”whining and barking’ after him

OHMYGOSSIP — Keith Flint’s eight dogs are reportedly pining for their late owner.
The Prodigy frontman was tragically found dead at his home in Essex on March 4, with an inquest hearing that the ‘Firestarter’ hitmaker died from hanging.
Keith’s canine pack have been affected by the 49-year-old singer’s absence and are said to have been heard “barking and whining” after him by locals in the village.
A special dog minder, hired by his estate, has been staying at his sprawling mansion to fend for the mutts until it’s decided what will happen to them.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “Keith loved his dogs.
“You would always see him walking them in the fields.
“They seemed utterly devoted to him.
“People in the village have heard them barking and whining, as though they know something is just not right.
“The band seem to be doing everything they can to look after them, but they must miss him so much.”
Fans have visited the property and laid out tributes outside, including flowers and letters, to pay their respects to the ‘Omen’ rocker.
According to the tabloid, one of the notes reads: “Mate, gutted that you felt the time had come, that ‘you are done’.
“You are one of the most genuine people to grace this planet.
“Your music will live with me forever.”
On Monday (11.03.19), Keith’s provisional cause of death was ruled as hanging at an inquest, which was opened and then adjourned.
Coroner’s officer Lynsey Chaffe revealed his provisional cause of death in the two-minute hearing.
She added: “Police attended, all protocols were followed and his death was confirmed as not suspicious.”
A post-mortem examination was carried out at Broomfield Hospital three days after the singer’s death, and further investigations are still under way.
A full hearing will take place on July 23 when toxicology results are in.
Keith’s bandmate, Liam Howlett, previously told fans his friend had taken his own life.
He wrote on Instagram: “The news is true, I can’t believe I’m saying this but our brother Keith took his own life over the weekend.
I’m shell shocked , f**kin angry , confused and heart broken ….. r.i.p brother Liam #theprodigy. (sic)”
The ‘Breathe’ group – which also includes Maxim Reality – hailed Keith as a “true pioneer” and a “legend” in a tribute post on Twitter.
They wrote: “It is with deepest shock and sadness that we can confirm the death of our brother and best friend Keith Flint. A true pioneer, innovator and legend. He will be forever missed. We thank you for respecting the privacy of all concerned at this time.”
In the wake of the tragic news, his band mates have decided to axe their upcoming tour dates.

Louis Tomlinson to design merch for his tour

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson is set to design the merchandise for his tour.
The ‘Just Hold On’ hitmaker has teased fans that he is the “early” stages of planning the designs and promised he’s “definitely” going to hit the road, as he’s missed touring since One Direction went on hiatus in 2015.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: There will be a tour at some point definitely as I’ve missed being on the road.
I’ve always been involved on the merch side of things anyway and I’m really excited to start getting into that.
“It’s pretty early on but we’ve had initial conversations about that.
“I’m keen to get some merch out ASAP.”
Meanwhile, Louis – who makes up one fourth of One Direction with Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Niall Horan – recently released the emotional song ‘Two Of Us’, which helped him with the grief of losing his mother Johannah Deakin, and he revealed he was inspired by Liam Gallagher to bare his soul on the single.
The former Oasis rocker’s debut solo album ‘As You Were’ gave him the strength to work his own raw emotions into his lyrics.
He said: “I don’t like being clever for the sake of being clever. Sometimes it’s cool to read between the lines.
“My lyrical style, naturally, is to just be matter of fact, honest and sometimes blunt. I kind of shied away from writing that song because I didn’t really think I was ready to go through that process yet.
“I got into a session and we ended up getting into it, and it was going perfectly. I really did want to write this song, I was just intimidated at first because it had to be perfect.”
Liam’s introspective LP – which featured marriage breakup songs like ‘For What It’s Worth’ and ‘Paper Crown’ – inspired Louis to try and make a similar kind of impact with his own writing.
He added: “There had to be little things in there that were really thought-provoking for me. I feel like we got the whole message across perfectly.”
The 27-year-old singer tragically lost mum Johannah in 2016, when she passed away aged 43 after losing her battle with leukaemia, and on ‘Two of Us’ he painfully sings about wishing he was the one who died.
He belts out: “You’ll never know how much I miss you, the day that they took you, I wish it was me instead.”
On the chorus, Louis sings: “I will be the best of me, always keep you next to me, I’ll be living one life for the two of us.”

Romesh Ranganathan returns for a second series of Judge Romesh

OHMYGOSSIP — Romesh Ranganathan is back for a second series of ‘Judge Romesh’.
The 41-year-old comedian is delighted to be returning to Channel Dave for a second series of ‘Judge Romesh’ – where he listens to trivial real-life disputes and brings decisions and justice with his witty humour – because he loves helping people.
According to the Daily Star, Romesh said: “Some may think it’s because it’s an easy job, the money’s good and I’m working with mates. But the truth is I’m purely motivated by helping people with the problems that they, for some reason, believe to be important.”
The comedian stars alongside comic Tom Davis who takes the role of his trusty bailiff and Jessica Knappett will be bringing laughs as the new court clerk.
Romesh previously said he loved the concept of his show – which follows a similar format to legal series such as ‘Judge Judy’ and ‘Judge Rinder’ but has a comedic spin – because he always imagined he could make a more light-hearted version of serious courtroom shows.
Speaking about series one, Romesh previously said: “Whenever I have watched shows like Judge Judy or Judge Rinder, I have always thought these people would be better served by someone with fewer legal qualifications and less interest. It is for that reason that I am delighted to make that dream a reality. I am thrilled to be able to help as many people as I can with their crappy problems.”
Producers Hungry Bear also explained that the show is unique because the comedian uses his “own inimitable” comedic style to help “real people with real problems.”
They said: “Each week Romesh presides over genuine disagreements and metes out comic judgement in his own inimitable style. The people who enter the court are not actors, but real people with real problems.”

Sandi Toksvig wants to make a film about Maude Adams

OHMYGOSSIP — Sandi Toksvig wants to make a film about her idol Maude Adams.
The ‘Great British Bake Off’ presenter wants to make a movie about her heroine – who had a number of lesbian relationships – because she wants gay women in our society to have successful role models.
Sandi said: “Maude was a silent film star and was born in 1872 and in her day was the highest paid artist in the United States. She earned more than £1million in 1902. She was an incredible woman and lived with a woman called Louise Boynton for 50 years and they are buried together.”
Television star Sandi married Debbie Toksvig in 2014 – who she entered into a civil partnership with in 2007 – and she feels it is important that there is a greater representation of lesbians in the media as she felt like she didn’t know who to look up to when she was growing up.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: “I think that is important and to see ourselves. If I had been able to see that there was a singer who was a lesbian. There were plenty of role models I just did not know they were there.”
Sandi had previously explained that she would like to see more positive lesbian love stories in the media, as her and her partner have been happily married for 13 years.
She explained: “I still haven’t seen the lesbian love story – that relationship where two people adore each other, love each other, support each other. There are lots of stories that need to be told, they’re important. My wife and I have been married 13 years and I love her more every day.”

Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly raise £782k for Comic Relief

OHMYGOSSIP — Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly raised £782,686 for Comic Relief with their 24 hour danceathon.
The presenting duo raked in an impressive three quarters of a million pound for the charity, joined by some surprise guests and performers including Fleur East, who performed her new single ‘Favourite Thing’ as well as Davina McCall and Michael Ball. Rylan Clark-Neal challenged Jeremy Vine to a dance off whilst former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professionals Ed Balls and Katya Jones reunited. Mary Berry popped in to offer the pair some words of encouragement with a chocolate cake whilst ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ favourite Anton Du Beke joined in with the dancing.
Speaking before she partook in the event, Claudia said: “I’m so excited to be taking on this epic Danceathon challenge with Tess live at Radio 2 in the legendary Wogan House. I know it’s going to be hilarious to watch because we’re pretty bad dancers – I’m not very good at standing, let alone dancing. Thankfully we’ll have each other and we’re going to push through to raise as much money as we can for Red Nose Day. We love Comic Relief and believe in everything they do. We’ve seen first-hand how the money raised provides a lifeline for people living in the most desperate situations, and we’re doing this for them. We want people at home to come together, dig deep and support us through this because dancing for over 24 hours is going to be one hell of a challenge.”
Whilst Tess added: “I am so proud to be supporting Red Nose Day with Claudia. I just hope we have the stamina to ‘keep dancing’ for over 24 hours straight! We were worn out during our first choreography session so it’s no doubt going to be a tough challenge. But, we’re doing this to raise money for Red Nose Day, so it will be incredibly special, and we’ll be thinking of all the people that will benefit from all the amazing projects funded by Comic Relief. Doing this at Wogan House is extra special for me having worked with the great man, Sir Terry, himself many times.”
