OHMYGOSSIP — Nile Rodgers will curate this summer’s Meltdown Festival.
The Chic superstar will bring his own eclectic lineup of stars to the Southbank Centre in London later this year from 3-11 August.
He said: “To be able to curate and produce nine days of live music for the city of London, the UK and music enthusiasts visiting from all over the world is truly a dream come true.
“Anyone who knows my career knows that Funk, Disco, Jazz, Soul, Classical, POP, New Wave, R&B, Fusion, Punk Rock, Afrobeat, Electronic and Dance music all play a role and you can expect that to be reflected in the performances we are planning.
“It’s all about the groove and this August everyone in London will be dancing to incredible live performances!”
Although the lineup for the event is yet to be announced, Rodgers is following in the footsteps of the likes of David Bowie, M.I.A and last year’s curator, The Cure’s Robert Smith.
Bengi Ünsal, Senior Contemporary Music Programmer at Southbank Centre, said: “I am thrilled and honoured to welcome Nile Rodgers to Southbank Centre this August for the 26th Meltdown festival. “Meltdown is the longest-running artist curated festival in the world and for 25 years has been celebrating those at the frontiers of music.
“It’s hard to overstate the impact that this year’s curator has had both as part of CHIC and as a solo producer on what we call popular music today. He is constantly creating and collaborating, and I can’t wait to see what he will create across our venues. One thing’s for certain: this will be the funkiest Meltdown yet.”
The event has seen some incredible moments over the years, including Jeff Buckley playing his final UK show at Elvis Costello’s festival in 1995, while 2007 host Jarvis Cocker was joined by an all-star cast featuring the likes of Nick Cave, Grace Jones and Pete Doherty as they belted out Disney songs.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lily Collins loves to “binge watch” movies.
The ‘To the Bone’ star is obsessed with films and has confessed to watching three or four a day whilst she was feeling unwell.
Asked if she still likes to watch films, she said: “Oh definitely. I have binge watching sessions. I recently had the flu and I just sat at home for about a week and just watched all of them all at once. Three or four a day. What a great reason to be sick.”
And Lily particularly loved ‘The Favourite’.
Speaking on the red carpet at the EE British Academy Film Awards on Sunday night (10.02.19), she shared: “I really do think my favourite was ‘The Favourite.'”
Lily had previously confessed she had “never wanted” to be famous because of her father Phil Collins.
She said: “Growing up I never wanted that to be a part of my story. Obviously I’m super-proud of my dad; I love my dad, I’m grateful for all the things I’ve learned, but it’s also something I wanted to define as my own. I always wanted to do it myself and for myself.”
The brunette beauty feels more empowered than ever before due to the changing attitudes towards women in Hollywood, and the bravery of other women is inspiring her to “speak out” and own her truth.
She said: “I’ve realised that I can’t control what other people think of what I have to say, but I can control how I say it and where it’s coming from. So many women have come out and spoken about things that people would have assumed would have been the end of them. Now it is embraced for us to speak out.
“I’m attracted so strongly to people who are brave and outspoken and very much themselves, so I thought, ‘Why can’t I be that?’ It takes practice and I’m not fully there yet, but I’m doing my best to take those steps.
“Hopefully one day this won’t even have to be a conversation. That’s my hope that we won’t have to say, ‘I’m so glad you’re hired because you’re a female.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mahershala Ali finds it “humbling” being nominated for awards.
The 44-year-old actor – who is up for Best Supporting Actor at both the British Academy Film Awards and the Academy Awards for his role in ‘Green Book’ – says there is a special feeling being in the “circle of recognition” during awards season.
Speaking on the red carpet at the EE British Academy Film Awards on Sunday night (10.02.19), he explained: “Most importantly, you put all this love and energy and time into these projects and you just hope that it resonates and speaks to people. To end up here, at this event and to sort of be in the circle of recognition is just a real honour. It’s humbling.”
Meanwhile, Mahershala previously revealed he chooses roles which “align” with his “consciousness”.
He explained: “I think my choices are just a natural outgrowth of how I try to live my life. I try to be conscious of my diet holistically, whether it’s the actual food you put in the body or what it is that you’re watching. So when I read projects of when I find myself drawn to something it’s really pretty much in alignment with a larger consciousness that I try to live with.”
And he believes his Islamic faith has made him a better actor as it helps him relate to his characters better.
He said: “It benefits me from the standpoint of really creating empathy for these characters that I try to embody, other human beings with issues as deep and personal as my own. Because of Islam, I am acutely aware that I am a work in progress. [The daily practice] puts a healthy pressure on you to be your best self, beginning with your own spirit and how that feeds into your actions.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rami Malek never thought he’d be famous.
The 37-year-old actor shot to fame playing the legendary singer Freddie Mercury in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ but never could have believed this would be his life.
Speaking on the red carpet at the EE British Academy Film Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday night (10.02.19), he shared: “I was thinking on the way here what my younger self – the young baba Rami – would have thought about being at BAFTAs. We were at Kensington Palace last night. Things that you just never think are going to happen in your life. I guess, Freddie Mercury is the gift that keeps giving.”
And during the promotional tour for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, Rami has been shocked by how much the world loved Freddie.
Speaking about Freddie’s global theme, he added: “He’s huge everywhere. I’ve been travelling all over the world with this film, promoting it. At one point, we were in Japan at a screening. Everyone was singing the songs from the Live Aid concert and we did a Q and A and they still needed some things translated but they knew every word to every song … The world claims in. He belongs to everyone.”
Meanwhile, Rami previously admitted he found it “so daunting” meeting Queen legends Brian May and Roger Taylor for the first time.
He said: “It is unreal for me. When I first met them, I have met a lot of actors, and there are a few actors that really throw me, where it’s difficult to open my mouth around. For the most part, I can hold my own, but those two guys, it was so daunting talking to them at first … And to think that now we have this casual relationship, it is beyond anything I ever thought could happen. Thank you to Queen. Thank you to Freddie Mercury. I am forever in their debt.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Colman dedicated her Leading Actress award to her co-stars at the EE British Academy Film Awards on Sunday night (10.02.19).
The 45-year-old actress triumphed at the awards ceremony at London’s Royal Albert Hall for her part as Queen Anne in ‘The Favourite’ but dedicated her award to her friends and colleagues, Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz.
In her acceptance speech, she said: “Making this film was my most favourite time ever. Emma and Rachel, you were the best and classiest and coolest colour guard I could have had. This is not for the lead, but A lead.”
Referencing her co-stars, she added: “It’s a shame we can’t all be here, but this is for all of us. It’s got my name on it, but we can scratch in some other names.”
And Olivia admitted to feeling “shaky” on stage.
She told the audience: “I’m very shaky, sorry. Can’t read [my speech] either! We’re having an amazing night, aren’t we? We’re going to get so pissed later!”
Reading through her notes, she added: “I’ve done that bit, I’ve done that bit … Sorry, I swear I’m going to go in a moment.”
And it is no surprise that Olivia felt nervous as she previously admitted to feeling “sick to her stomach” before she attends award ceremonies.
She explained: “The first one you ever go to is the best night ever. And then after that it gets more scary. I get more and more nervous. I feel sick to my stomach before I have to go. Because ‘What am I gonna say if I win?’ and I don’t think I should win, I think I should win’. It’s not just a night out anymore.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh says her pregnant daughter is constantly craving donuts.
The 42-year-old soap actress – whose 21-year-old daughter Emilie is carrying her first child – has revealed the mother-to-be has been recently stuffing herself with the tasty treats.
Kym wrote in her exclusive OK! Magazine column: “Her appetite has also increased, which is good as I was a bit concerned because at some stages during pregnancy you can feel like you can’t really stomach food.
“She’s making up for that now! She’ll fixate on a certain food for a week and then move on to something else. At the moment it’s fruit and yoghurt and I think the baby loves it as he’s been kicking loads.
“The other week it was Curly Wurlys and she’s actually just started eating donuts too! She offered me one the other day and I said: ‘I’ll have the hole in the middle!”
Kym – who also has another daughter Polly, 7, and son David, 23 – says she is glad her daughter will be “under her roof” when the baby is born.
She said: “I’m glad Emilie will be under my roof when my grandson’s born. She’s in no rush to move out with her boyfriend Mikey, who stays with us much of the time.
“I lived with my parents for a while when David and Emilie were babies and I found it really useful, and the idea of having a newborn in the house doesn’t faze me at all.
“I’ll only be 42 and I know some women who are only having their first child at my age.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dua Lipa has defended Ariana Grande for snubbing the Grammy Awards on Sunday night (10.02.19).
The ‘thank u, next’ hitmaker decided not to attend the prestigious ceremony in Los Angeles following a row with producers over her planned performance, and her fellow pop star has she has every right to make that choice.
Lipa – who won the Best New Artist and Dance Recording prizes – told Rolling Stone magazine: “Every artist has their own right to decide what they want to do and how they would like to perform and be perceived.”
While Ariana, 25, wasn’t at the Grammy Awards – which were hosted by Alicia Keys at LA’s Staples Centre – she scooped the Best Pop Vocal Album for her record ‘Sweetener’ and used Twitter to admit she was still delighted to have won.
She posted: “I know I’m not there tonight (trust, I tried and still truly wished it had worked out tbh) and I know I said I try not to put too much weight into these things …. but f**k ……. this is wild and beautiful. Thank you so much (sic)”
She slammed Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich on Twitter a few days ago when she shared pictures of an interview he’d given in which he claimed she couldn’t “pull something together” in enough time.
She wrote: “i’ve kept my mouth shut but now you’re lying about me. i can pull together a performance over night and you know that, Ken. it was when my creativity & self expression was stifled by you, that i decided not to attend. i hope the show is exactly what you want it to be and more.
“i offered 3 different songs. it’s about collaboration. it’s about feeling supported. it’s about art and honesty. not politics. not doing favors or playing games. it’s just a game y’all.. and i’m sorry but that’s not what music is to me. (sic)”

The 75-year-old actor – who was best known for portraying Jacob Carter on ‘Stargate SG-1’ – sadly died on Saturday (09.02.19), with his cause of death currently unknown, his acting agency Event Horizon has confirmed.
Carmen shot to fame as Michael’s Buttonman in 1974’s ‘The Godfather: Part II’ alongside Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Diane Keaton and Robert Duvall.
He appeared in over 50 movies and around 100 television movies/series.
He played General Carter – who was also known as Selmak – on popular sci-fi show ‘Stargate SG-1’ for 25 episodes between 1998 and 2005.
In a lengthy statement sharing the sad news, the agency wrote on Facebook: “It is with a heavy heart and more sadness than anyone can realize right now that I announce the passing of client Carmen Argenziano at the age of 75.

“Carmen worked steadily over more than 40 years and was a staple character actor on our televisions throughout that time, including on series such as Cheers, Melrose Place, ER, CSI:NY and many others, while also lending his talents to films both tentpole and intimate.
“To genre fans, he is best known for his role as Jacob Carter/Selmak on the series ‘Stargate SG-1’, a role he relished and recurred in for seven years.
“While Carmen was a client, he was also a good friend.
“While he was a class act and a consummate gentleman at the events he was booked for, he was also a caring and generous person.
“While I had known him for more than a decade, it wasn’t until the past three years as a representative for him that our trust and friendship grew and blossomed.
“He truly treated me like family, and that sentiment was returned.
“Please join me in sending thoughts and prayers to Carmen’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
“Godspeed, my friend. (sic)”
Carmen also had recurring roles in the TV shows ‘Booker’, ‘L.A. Law’, ‘Melrose Place’ and ‘The Young and the Restless.

OHMYGOSSIP — Taylor Swift supported her boyfriend Joe Alwyn at the EE BAFTAs on Sunday night (10.02.19).
The ‘Delicate’ singer wowed in a custom made pale blue Stella McCartney gown at the star-studded bash at London’s Royal Albert Hall, where the 27-year-old actor’s movie received seven gongs for Outstanding British Film, Leading Actress (Olivia Colman), Supporting Actress (Rachel Weisz), Original Screenplay (Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara), Costume Design (Sandy Powell), Production Design (Fiona Crombie and Alice Felton) and Make-Up & Hair (Nadia Stacey).
Sharing a picture of her stunning ensemble, which was completed with open toe heels, Taylor captioned the Instagram snap: “AHHHHH @thefavouritemovie just won 7 @bafta awards !!! Bout to go give some high fives – thanks @stellamccartney for this dressss (sic)”
The ‘Shake It Off’ hitmaker was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album for ‘Reputation’ at the Grammys, which took place on the same evening in Los Angeles – which saw Ariana Grande win the prize for ‘Sweetener’ – but she opted to accompany her partner to the British ceremony instead.
After the BAFTAs dinner, the pair were spotted leaving the British Vogue after-party at Annabel’s Members’ Club in Mayfair.
Meanwhile, the actor recently stated that his unwillingness to talk about his relationship with the 29-year-old pop megastar is “normal”.
The ‘Mary Queen of Scots’ star has been dating the ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ singer for around two years and they both have been very guarded about their romance with the couple even avoiding being photographed together at the Golden Globe Awards last month.
Joe intends to stick his rule to not talk about Taylor, in interviews as he sees no justification as to why he should share details of his private life with strangers.
He said: “I don’t think more than anyone else. I don’t think anyone you meet on the streets would just spill their guts out to you, therefore why should I? And then that is defined as being ‘strangely private’. Fine. But I don’t think it is. I think it’s normal.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins says her knees will take “six months to recover” after her falls on ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The ‘TOWIE’ star and her partner Matt Evers were voted off the ITV skating show after losing out in the skate off to Ryan Sidebottom and Brandee Malto on Sunday night (10.02.19) and The GC has now revealed she is facing a lengthy recuperation period due to her the injuries she suffered when falling during one of the live shows and subsequent tumbles in rehearsals.
And Gemma admitted that she “never felt the same” after her famous fall a few weeks ago.
Appearing on ‘This Morning’ on Monday (11.02.19), Gemma said: “When I fell on the ice, I never felt the same ever again, I’ll be honest with you, I was very lucky, but my knees, I’ve got a six month recovery on my knees. When I spoke to the physio and she said to me, ‘It’s going to take six months for them to start healing.’ That’s because I kept falling, and let’s be fair I ain’t the lightest of persons, so, you know… But I had a really good time.”
Gemma, 38, was also disappointed when people started questioning whether or not she faked her face first fall because there’s no way she’d want to risk serious injury on the ice to garner sympathy.
She added: “That was weird, because no way I would want to fake that. The pain I was in, I was crying for days. I’m still in pain now, but as they say it’s the knocks in life that make you stronger and I certainly took a lot on the show.”
Gemma – who was supported by her boyfriend James ‘Arg’ Argent throughout her time on ‘Dancing On Ice’ – insists she is going to continue her fitness regime as she has lost two-and-a-half stone since she began training for the programme in October and may occasionally skate for fun.
She vowed: “I will 100 per cent keep up with the fitness and I’m saying this on national TV because I feel so much better, like I could just move a lot more, I can do my shoes up. I’ll be honest I had about three tyres round my middle and they’ve gone. I’m still a bigger girl but when I got on the scales, I was shocked because I’ve actually lost two and a half stone.
“It never goes off my face, I think I need some sort of lifting surgery. I was shocked I couldn’t believe and just feeling fit. I don’t know what form of exercise I’m going to do yet. I might take to the rink but for an enjoyment purpose, skate round for an hour, you know, because it is good exercise, but I really do want to continue with my fitness.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins says James Argent wants to get “married” before they have a child together.
The ‘Only Way Is Essex’ star – who is with her former co-star Arg – appeared as a guest panellist on Monday’s episode of ‘Loose Women’ (11.02.19), and the star revealed that her man wants to keeps things traditional and tie the knot before they start trying for a baby “at the end of the year”.
Speaking on the ITV daytime chat show, Gemma said: “A lot of my friends that I’ve been on ‘TOWIE’ with have all gone on to have children and everyone is like ‘When are you going to have a baby?’
“Obviously I did have a few problems and did feel kind of not feel fully whole, like as a woman, because it was like ‘Oh my god I can’t have children, people are going to look down on me’.
“I got two other second opinions and they said I’m going to be okay. They just said I need to lose weight, they will put me on a drug called chlomid and then we will start the process. And that is something I’ll be looking to do at the end of the year.
“Well Arg is the one that keeps going on to me about it [having a baby] and is like ‘Come on Gem’, and then he says ‘I would like to be married first’ and I say ‘Arg, just go and get that yellow diamond and let’s get this thing moving’ – No we’re definitely going to marry but he wants to do it all properly.”
The 38-year-old star – who was voted off ‘Dancing On Ice’ Sunday night (10.02.19) – also confessed that when she has a baby she wants to be “settled” so she can be the “best mum” to her child because currently her career has her travelling all over the country.
She added: “When I have my child, I want to give it my all, and at the moment I’ve been very busy with my career, I want – when that baby’s born – to love it so much I’ll never want to let it go.
“It gets me emotional talking about it, but I want to give my life to that child and at the moment I don’t know where I am from one day to the next and I really want to be in a position where I’m 100 per cent settled.
“We’re in the process of moving at the moment and you know, I just want to have a bit of calm in my life to be the best mum I can be.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Wright is having nine bridesmaids at her wedding.
The 37-year-old former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star has chosen her “favourite girls” to accompany her down the aisle when she weds her fiancé, former England soccer player Rio Ferdinand.
Kate told the lucky group that she wanted them to play a major part at her nuptials by inviting them to join her for a meal at restaurant Lupo Bianco in Kent, Southern England, and then presenting each of them with their own bouquet of flowers, candles, personalised pouches and poems asking them to be a bridesmaid.
Posting on her Instagram account, she revealed: “What a special day … the day I asked my favourite girls to be my bridesmaids. The most perfect day in every way, overwhelmed with emotion love you all to bits.
“I had a vision of just how I wanted it to be& it was just absolutely perfect. Thank you to… @hadesignsltd & @h.a.flor for the absolutely beautiful flowers & personalised pouches. @essexloveletters for my flower wall, centrepieces & doughnut wall.
“@worditrhyme for the poems, I gave them 10 facts about each of the girls and they made the most special poems .. we were all in tears! @tors_shimmeringsponges for the beautiful cakes.”
Kate and Rio, 40, announced their engagement last November.
The ex-Manchester United defender proposed on the rooftop of the St. Regis Hotel as his three children, Lorenz, 11, Tate, nine and Tia, seven, looked on during a family holiday together in Abu Dhabi.
The couple started officially dating in 2017 and their relationship blossomed as Rio tried to rebuild his life following the tragic death of his wife Rebecca Ellison at the age of just 34 due to breast cancer.
Speaking previously about their romance, Kate admitted she and the soccer pundit “just clicked” straight away.
She said: “Rio and I just clicked. I knew about the children and what had happened but at first I didn’t give it much thought. When you meet someone you’re just enjoying the moment, not thinking about how serious things might become.
“I fell in love with Rio, then I met the kids and fell in love with them. I realised, ‘Wow, my life is going to change.’ I couldn’t be part of his life and not part of theirs. I knew it would be a challenge, but if you love someone you go with it and deal with the difficult stuff.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kerry Katona has revealed that Will Smith once complimented her on her “massive breasts” when they met each other before appearing on a talk show.
The reality TV star got talking to the Hollywood A-lister when they were both booked to appear on ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’ and at the time Kerry was pregnant with her third child Heidi, 11, whom she gave birth to in February 2007.
As they chatted in the green room, Kerry recalls that ‘Men In Black’ star Will just blurted it out that her breasts had ballooned to mammoth proportions due to the pregnancy.
The former Atomic Kitten singer – who has had multiple boob jobs in the past – recalled her meeting with Will in her New! magazine column, writing: “I met Will Smith in the green room of ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’ and he was very taken with me.

OHMYGOSSIP — Samantha Morton has claimed she was “inappropriately touched” by an actor and was then “fired” after she told him to stop.
The 41-year-old actress has alleged she suffered sexual harassment on a daily basis on a movie set by an unnamed actor, however, when Morton told the individual to stop, she claims the director of the movie fired her the “same day”.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph newspaper, she said: “I had it on a movie whereby I was being touched inappropriately on a daily basis by an actor, and I asked the individual to cease.
“But this person was a very sensitive person, mortified that he’d gone too far. Then I went to the director and I was fired from the movie the same day.”
Morton also revealed that she refused to take on a part in the 2001 romantic comedy ‘About Adam’, and made her decision to not be involved with the project after receiving threats that now disgraced movie mogul, Harvey Weinstein, would make sure she “never worked again”.
Years later those threats came back to haunt Morton when she was set to be cast in 2005’s ‘The Brothers Grimm’ but Weinstein used his influence to get her off the project.
She added: “There was a film called ‘About Adam’ that was being shot in Ireland and I had a threat to me that said, if I didn’t do a part in that film, I would never work again. And I didn’t want to do the part.
“Apparently. [A threat of], ‘This will ruin your career, and nobody says no to him.’ And I did. Then years later they wanted to cast me in ‘The Brothers Grimm’ … But there was some things said about me [by him] that were then published, to do with me, ‘Not being f**kable’.
“That’s when the line was crossed for me. You cannot cast me because I’m not good, or not right for the part. But to say [it’s because] I’m not f**kable – it’s the most disgusting, horrible [thing].”
‘The Walking Dead’ star admits she had heard rumours about actresses getting roles by performing sexual favours for Weinstein – who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault and harassment.
She said: “I was on a job once and an actress was doing this part and then suddenly was removed from the film while another person was flown in overnight. The rumour was she’d given him a b**wjob for the part – that’s what you needed to do to get in Harvey’s gang.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Brigitte Nielsen thinks giving birth at the age of 54 is like winning the lottery.
The Hollywood star – who gave birth to the youngest of her five children, Frida, seven months ago – has admitted that she and her husband Mattia Dessi are extremely fortunate, having spent more than a decade trying to conceive via IVF treatment.
Brigitte – who also has kids Julian, 34, Killian, 29, Aaron, 25, and Raoul, 23, from previous relationships – said: “I was always like: ‘I want to do it until there are no more embryos left.’ Somebody has to win the lottery.”
However, the actress – who turned 55 in July – admitted that IVF is not something that every woman will be able to cope with.
Brigitte described undergoing IVF treatment as an emotionally “devastating” experience.
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, she shared: “You’re on a lot of medication. It is very expensive. Hormones will do different things to different women … you always think you’re going to get pregnant, but most of the time, the phone call comes and it’s: ‘I’m sorry.’ It is devastating.
“The partner you’re with has to be on-board as much as you, unless you’re a woman who wants to have a baby on your own. You have to stay realistic and, if you’re older, the odds are against you.”
Brigitte’s pregnancy announcement sparked a debate about older mothers.
But the ‘Creed II’ star is delighted that she’s inspired other women to also pursue their dreams of motherhood.
She said: “I get a lot of letters and emails from women, so excited that I’ve given them the courage.
“Some find it ridiculous, some find it awful, and some love it. I don’t really think it’s anyone’s business. It’s my husband and my life and we love what we do.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Zara McDermott and Adam Collard have split after seven months together.
The ‘Love Island’ stars – who met in the villa on the most recent series of the ITV dating show – have called time on their relationship, and Zara admitted she is “heartbroken” over the breakup.
She wrote on Instagram: “I am heartbroken to announce that Adam and I have parted ways. I love him very much and will always have a special place in my heart for him and our time spent together.
“I have tried so hard to be the best person I can possibly be and to make it work.
“Sometimes in life, you just aren’t enough for someone; no matter what do for them or how much you try to me.
“For everyone asking if I’m OK, I don’t know that I am. But I know that soon I will be. I will be strong and prove to myself that I can get through this.”
It has been reported that rows over Adam’s late night partying were behind the split.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: “Adam and Zara have spent the last week having furious arguments. There’s still so much love between them but they have decided for the moment that it’s best to go their separate ways.
“They were due to go on a romantic holiday to the Maldives together this week but will no longer be going.
“They did their best to work through their issues but at this stage there’s no going back. They have since unfollowed each other on Instagram.”
The news comes after reports that the couple had been fighting for their romance after Zara criticised her man for his late night boozing with Instagram model Brittany Archer and fellow reality stars Jack Fincham and Sam Bird.
A source previously said: “Zara wasn’t happy after discovering Adam was out with the group that included Brittany.
“As a girlfriend it isn’t always comfortable to see your partner partying with other women you don’t know.
“They ended up having a big argument over Adam’s antics and he’s since gone home to give them some space.”
