Avengers to reassemble at Oscars

OHMYGOSSIP — The Avengers may reassemble at the Oscars.
Disney-owned ABC are reportedly considering bringing as many cast members from the Marvel superhero franchise on stage at the 91st Academy Awards on February 25 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, ahead of the release of ‘Avengers: Endgame’.
Although details are being kept under wraps, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the show’s producers are currently lining up appearances by as many big name cast members as possible.
Members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that could be likely to appear, following their appearance on the 2013 telecast are; Robert Downey Jr. who plays Iron Man, Chris Evans who portrays Captain America, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Jeremy Renner who is Hawkeye, and Samuel L. Jackson who plays Nick Fury.
This news comes on the heels of the possibility that for the first time in three decades, the Oscars will likely have no single host and will feature various A-listers to introduce segments and possibly participate in sketches throughout the show.
Despite speculation that the iconic award show will have no host, Whoopi Goldberg is “game” to host the Oscars if she’s wanted.
The star has already hosted the prestigious ceremony four-times, first in 1994, then in 1996, then 1999 and in 2002, however, the ‘Sister Act’ star is keen to take on the job again after Kevin Hart quit following the controversy surrounding the emergence of his previous homophobic tweets.

Terry Crews blasts inequality after sexual assault claims

OHMYGOSSIP — Terry Crews has blasted inequality after he went public with his sexual assault experience.
Last year, the ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ actor claimed that talent agent Adam Venit grabbed his crotch at a Hollywood party, but he has now criticised the way he was “believed immediately” while there is scepticism surrounding many women’s claims as part of the #MeToo movement.
Speaking to ABC, he explained: “First of all, I was believed immediately. You can go through the most high-profile cases, from Harvey Weinstein to Bill Cosby, all the way up to the President of the United States.
“Most of these women have to go on and on, and tell the story over and over and over, to get someone [to believe them]. And then you have to have probably 10 more women to come forward in order for the first person to be believed.
“When I came out, immediately everybody was like ‘OK, we believe you Terry’, right away. I think it shouldn’t be that way.”
The 50-year-old actor thinks his decision to speak out has made it easier for other men to go public with their own experiences.
He said: “Even if they were going through their own personal hell, they would feel like less of a man if they ever said anything. The more I [spoke out], the more men began to tell their own stories.”
Last year, Terry and Adam settled a lawsuit following the actor’s allegations, with the latter’s agency William Morris Endeavor (WME) confirming the suit has been “dismissed”.
They said in a statement: “Terry Crews, Adam Venit and WME have settled the lawsuit Mr. Crews filed last year. It will be dismissed.”
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ actor Terry had launched the lawsuit in December, but Adam denied the accusations in court documents.
Terry shared an article on Twitter which claims Adam is planning to leave WME, and he added the caption: “ACCOUNTABILITY”

Hermione Norris reveals cancer scare

OHMYGOSSIP — Hermione Norris has revealed she survived a cancer scare before her ‘Cold Feet’ character went through the same experience.
The 51-year-old actress – whose alter-ego Karen Marsden will battle the disease in the upcoming eighth series of the ITV drama -has opened up about the moment she feared she could have the same diagnosis in real life.
As reported by the Daily Star newspaper, she said: “I had a cancer scare myself. I found a lump and my main thought when I got the all-clear was ‘Thank God it’s not me.’
“I know women who are going through it now, with children it’s terrifying.”
Hermione has two children – 14-year-old son Wilf and 11-year-old daughter Hero – with husband Simon Wheeler.
The report that her character Karen will be faced with a health battle comes after co-star John Thomson teased two major storylines for the upcoming run of episodes.
The 49-year-old star – who plays Pete Gifford in the comedy drama – is optimistic about the eighth series of the show, which will be the third season since it returned to the small screen in 2016.
He recently said: “Series six was fantastic. Seven was a bit like ‘that difficult second album’, a bit of a slow-burn.
“But this one is fantastic, very strong. I can’t say much, but two really major things happen.”
The new episodes were originally meant to air before the end of 2018, but James Nesbitt – who will be back with John, Hermione and their co-stars Robert Bathurst and Fay Ripley – previously confirmed it will be back on ITV next month.
He said: “We’ve just finished series 8, very excited, and that will be coming along next year.”

Dave Grohl takes a tumble after downing Bud Light beer

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Grohl fell off stage during Foo Fighters’ first gig of 2019, after downing Bud Light beer.
The ‘Learn to Fly’ hitmaker was handed a can of the lower-alcohol content beverage by a member of the audience at the US rock band’s concert at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday (09.01.19), and attempted to drink it from off the top of a speaker whilst playing the guitar.
The 49-year-old frontman failed, spilling a large quantity of the booze over the electric speaker and then stood to the side to finish the rest of the drink.
On his way back up to the stage, he tripped and fell into the crowd.
He was swiftly picked up by a member of security and carried on playing the rock show like a pro.
Alongside the footage captured by a fan on Instagram, the attendee named Matthew quipped: “Dave Grohl: likes Bud Light, hates gravity. (sic)”
The former Nirvana drummer was forced to pull his band’s headlining set at Glastonbury in 2015 – with Florence + The Machine stepping in for the slot at the music extravaganza in Somerset, England – after breaking his leg on stage at the Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden.
And last year, Dave decided to hire a stuntman to pretend to be him at their first show back at the same venue to reenact his serious face-plant.
Dave also nearly injured himself again, last May, at Welcome to Rockville in Florida, but he laughed off his trip and joked that he knows he’s played a “great show” when he comes close to hurting himself.
He told the crowd: “I almost broke my f***ing leg over there.
“Here’s the way I look at it, when you get that close to breaking your f***ing leg, that means it’s a great show.”
However, it hasn’t always been a light-hearted matter, as the daredevil rocker previously admitted he “fell into depression” when broke his leg in Sweden.
Dave fell 12 feet off the stage, snapping the bone, dislocating his leg and tearing “all” of the ligaments in the limb.
The rocker decided to carry on with the “60 more shows” they had lined up – performing sat down on a ‘Game of Thrones’ inspired throne – but once the group had finished their string of concerts they decided to take a break, during which he struggled to cope with his recovery and life without the band and music.
He said: “I didn’t just snap the bone, I dislocated it and tore all the ligaments. But we had 60 more shows and after I came out of surgery we sat in my hotel room and had a meeting to decide what to do. Everyone wanted to make sure. I was OK and that we weren’t pushing it too hard. So I said what would it be like if I had to sit in a ridiculous f***ing throne every night and play to thousands of people?
“I imagined there would be a solid year of no music but I didn’t realise how bad I’d damaged my leg until I was with a physiotherapist three months after I had surgery.
“I’ve got a beautiful life outside of the band, but music really is what keeps my f***ing blood pumping.
“After about six months, with no band or no music, I really fell into a depression where I felt empty.”

Ariana Grande’s 7 Rings dropping next week

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande’s next single ‘7 Rings’ will be released next Friday (18.01.19).
The 25-year-old singer previously took to Twitter to share bloopers from her recent music video for hit single ‘thank u, next’, but just before the video was released, she sneakily revealed the title for her next release.
When one fan asked her what her next single would be, Ariana simply replied: “it’s 7 rings (sic)”
And on Thursday (10.01.19), she took to social media again to reveal the release date and artwork.
She captioned the cover featuring a baby pink wall with the title graffitied on it, “1.18.”, and added seven of the diamond ring emojis, which represent the friendship rings she gave to her girlfriends.
The singer had previously spoken about the rings in the song, when she replied to a now-deleted tweet from a fan in which she listed who the seven pieces of jewellery belong to.
She wrote: “me, vic, courtney, alexa, tayla, njomza, kaydence (and my mom and nonna so technically nine but they got theirs after song was done) (sic)”
And then when asked who had the idea for the song, the ‘No Tears Left to Cry’ hitmaker insinuated that the track was written after her break-up from fiancée Pete Davidson, as she said the inspiration came after a “pretty rough day” in New York.
She said: “well …………. ’twas a pretty rough day in nyc. my friends took me to tiffany’s. we had too much champagne. i bought us all rings. it was very insane and funny. & on the way back to the stu njomza was like ‘b***h, this gotta be a song lol’. so we wrote it that afternoon. (sic)”
Ariana could be set to perform the new track when she takes to the stage at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April this year, as she was recently announced as one of the headline acts.
The ‘God is a Woman’ singer, Tame Impala, and Childish Gambino will all perform twice at the annual music extravaganza, which is held over two weekends, between April 12 and April 14, and April 19 and April 21 in Indio, California.

Danny Dyer discovers French royal relative

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Dyer has found out he’s related to another king.
The ‘EastEnders’ actor – who discovered two years ago he is a direct descendant of England’s King Edward III – can now add French royalty to his growing list of connections.
As revealed in new BBC1 show ‘Danny Dyer’s Right Royal Family’, the star’s 26th great grandfather was King Louis IX, who washed lepers, fed the poor and – according to the history books – hated swearing.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: “One royal link was unbelievable but finding another was more than anyone could have imagined — including him. Suffice to say it quickly went to his head and he thinks he’s genuinely part of the aristocracy now.”
The upcoming show – which will air on January 23 – follows his 2016 appearance on ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’, which revealed he was related to former kings of England, Edward III and William The Conqueror.
When the programme was announced last year, Danny said: “I’m still in shock at the fact that I’m related to such important people. I’ve had a ball getting to know them. It was a nutty experience.”
Danny will head back 800 years in time to live how some of his ancestors did, which will include him eating sheep’s tongue, and learning how to hunt.
BBC history commissioner Simon Young is hoping Danny’s show will “inject fun” into the subject of royal history.
He said: “Danny is just an incredible talent and he has an amazing history in his family tree. What better way to get people to look at and understand that royal history than through his eyes?
“It injects fun and I think we need that.”
After discovering his royal connections, Danny – who plays pub landlord Mick Carter in the BBC One soap – then joked he would challenge Queen Elizabeth for the top spot in Buckingham Palace.
He said: “If I iron out about 150 people, yeah I’ll be f***ing King. If Trump can run America I can be f***ing king surely?”

Loose Women ladies will judge Dancing on Ice this week

OHMYGOSSIP — Saira Khan’s ‘Loose Women’ co-hosts Coleen Nolan, Jane Moore and Andrea McLean will be taking over the ‘Dancing on Ice’ judging panel this week.
The 48-year-old television presenter – who is currently competing on the hit ITV show – will be joined by her fellow panellists as they oust the current judges on this Sunday’s show (13.01.19).
A source told the Daily Mirror: “She wants to pay homage to her day job, so the Loose Women are taking over the judge’s desk.”
The regular ‘Dancing on Ice’ panel is made up of Jason Gardiner, Ashley Banjo and head coach Karen Barber, alongside skating supremes Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
Saira also confessed that while her ‘Loose Women’ co-stars have always been super supportive of her, those who have been on it before have warned her that the experience will not be easy.
Opening up about if her pals have been supportive, Saira – who is partnered by Mark Hanretty on the show – previously said: “They are, but they have been telling me too many truths!
“Andrea told me about her broken ribs, Nadia said it was the worst thing ever and Coleen did alright, so it’s like, ‘Thanks girls, that’s very helpful’.
“But of course, it’s a sisterhood; they want me to do well.”
The brunette beauty also stated that skating on the show has boosted her libido and made her seek intimacy with her husband.
She previously revealed: “All this skating is making me feel horny! I go home to my husband and say, ‘I think we need to do some skating.’
“You forget what holding hands and looking into somebody’s eyes feel like.”
Brian McFadden, Wes Nelson, Jane Danson, Didi Conn, Richard Blackwood and Saara Aalto are among the celebrities she’ll be competing against on the ice.
‘Dancing On Ice’ continues on Sunday (13.01.19) at 6pm on ITV.

Rihanna launches Valentine’s Day lingerie collection

OHMYGOSSIP — Rihanna has released Valentine’s Day ‘Savage x Fenty’ Lingerie to “celebrate” women’s bodies.
The 30-year-old songstress-turned-entrepreneur has unveiled a size-inclusive underwear collection that is available in sizes 32A to 44DD in bras, and XS to 3X in knickers, in her exclusive Valentine’s Day collection.
The ‘Work’ hitmaker revealed that she created the highly-anticipated range for women to make them feel “powerful”.
Speaking to US Vogue, Rihanna said: “Lingerie is not just about exploiting the female body, it’s about celebrating it and that’s what Savage x is all about.
“Savage to me is such a powerful word. Especially for women, you know. Women are usually looked at as weak and needy and Savage is just that different woman. It is the opposite of that, she powerful, she’s in charge, and she’s taking ownership of all the choices she makes.”
‘Savage X Fenty’ features hot-pink colours, plunging bodysuits, sheer camisoles and heart-shaped pastie adorned bras that are available in different cuts to keep her collection as inclusive as possible.
The collection is priced at between $20 and $68 and was released on Wednesday (09.01.18).

This news comes after Rihanna recently announced she was launching 50 shades of concealer in her beauty range, Fenty Beauty.
The highly-anticipated concealer will be released alongside 10 additional shades of the Pro Filt’r Foundation line, bringing its total to 50 shades also, and the star admitted the dark circle remover is like a “filter” for your face.

Carrie Fisher’s dog retires to Florida

OHMYGOSSIP — Carrie Fisher’s dog Gary has retired to Florida.
The ‘Star Wars’ actress passed away at the age of 60 in December 2016, and since then her beloved pet has been living with Carrie’s former assistant Corby McCoin.
Gary has his own Instagram page, and Corby recently updated the dog’s 189,000 followers to let them know he’s now living in sunny Florida, after a stint in New York.
Alongside a picture of the mutt chilling on the beach, he wrote: “Just wanted to check in and say it has been 2 years and I miss my mom everyday. I tried New York after LA and decided the beach is much better. Hello Florida and the new adventure begins #garymisseshismom #garyloveshismom #garyloveshisfans #garyfisher #frenchiesofinstagram #garyindestinflorida2019 #garysnewadventures (sic)”
Carrie’s half-sister Joely Fisher revealed last year that the Gary was still pining after her.
However, though the canine still mopes about because he misses Carrie – who played Princess Leia in the sci-fi franchise – the pooch perked up during his daily visits from Joely.
She said: “They were very, very close. I truly believe that he recognises that she is not here. But it’s funny. When I started spending time with him, we have a similar timber in our voice so when I say ‘Gary’, like Carrie would have, he looks.”
The ‘Til Death’ actress added: “I see Gary every day and he’s doing great. He’s a really great dog. He’s on my Instagram almost every day too, so people can go check him out there. He’s a very special animal.”
Gary acted as a therapy dog for Carrie as she dealt with bipolar disorder.
It was previously revealed Gary found comfort in watching ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’.
Corby took the canine to watch Carrie’s last performance as General Leia Organa in the eighth instalment of the sci-fi franchise at the cinema in December 2017.
ABC News reporter Veronica Miracle shared the news on Twitter, when she wrote: “The late @carrieffisher’s dog Gary just watched #TheLastJedi! He sat on Fisher’s former assistant’s lap during the film. She said his ears perked up every time she was on screen @starwars @ABC7 (sic)”
Gary will be able to see his late owner again in ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’, as she has been given a significant arc story through unreleased footage of the star.
The late actress’ brother, Todd Fisher, 60, recently spilled that ‘Episode IX’ helmer J.J. Abrams managed to create a conclusion for Leia woven into the Skywalker saga by masterfully including the unused clips that were originally shot for ‘Episode VII – The Force Awakens’.
He said: “There’s a lot of minutes of footage. I don’t mean just outtakes. This is unused, new content that could be woven into the storyline. That’s what’s going to give everybody such a great kick. It’s going to look like it was meant to be. Like it was shot yesterday.”
Todd isn’t allowed to reveal any details of his sister’s ‘Star Wars’ swansong but he insists he and the rest of the family, including Carrie’s daughter Billie Lourd, are very happy with what Abrams, 52, has done.
He added: “We’re not allowed to talk about the details of anything. But we’re thrilled at what’s been done.”

Daniel Craig following ‘strict diet’ to get in shape for Bond 25

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Craig is reportedly avoiding alcohol and unhealthy food to get in shape for ‘Bond 25’.
The 50-year-old actor – who welcomed his first child, a baby girl, with wife Rachel Weisz in September – is refraining from eating anything bad for him as he prepares for his final stint as the suave spy in 2020.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper, the ‘Casino Royale’ star decided not to attend a recent BAFTA bash with his 48-year-old spouse – who has 12-year-old son Henry with Darren Aronofsky – and was avoiding the wine and canapés on offer at the Golden Globes, opting for water and a protein bar.
An onlooker told the tabloid: “Daniel was clearly adamant he wouldn’t be tempted by the alcohol, canapes, haute cuisine and desserts.
“On Saturday, Rachel attended the BAFTA party but he stayed in. Then at the Golden Globes, he preferred water to wine and was chewing a protein bar.”
He’s also reported to have turned down 007’s favourite beverage, a martini, shaken not stirred, at a Globes after-party.
The ‘Layer Cake’ star – who also has 27-year-old daughter Ella with ex-wife Fiona Loudon – previously revealed he discovered a failsafe hangover cure which he believes to be the “difference between life and death”.
He explained: “There’s this thing called Pedialyte. It’s basically a diuretic; you give it to kids who are dehydrated. If you wake up in the morning and you’ve got one of those on standby and you down the whole lot…you can carry on drinking!
“[I learned it from] Mark Wahlberg. Who I don’t know, but I was told that’s what Mark swears by. It’s the difference between life and death as far as I’m concerned.”
The ‘Girl With the Dragon Tattoo’ actor “mourns” his days of going to pubs as fame makes it hard to go out drinking and find new places to socialise.
He said: “I mourn it slightly. I like to have a drink, and I love pubs and I love finding new pubs and places to socialise. But that has a limit on it now.”

Thom Yorke snubs Radiohead’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction

OHMYGOSSIP — Thom Yorke won’t be attending Radiohead’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.
The ‘Creep’ hitmaker has insisted an upcoming commitment at the Philharmonie De Paris on April 7 – which falls nine days after the induction ceremony – means he won’t be able to be there in person.
He told Variety: “I can’t. I know I can’t, because of these piano pieces that I’ve written [for French pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque]. There’s the Paris Philharmonic, so I have to be there for that… I’m booked.”
Thom went on to insist that he and his bandmates “don’t quite understand” the idea of being recognised at award ceremonies, and suggested it is a cultural issue.
He explained:”So we don’t want to offend anyone. We just think that we just don’t quite understand it. We’ve had it explained to us, so it’s cool.
“But we don’t really understand it as English people. I think our problem is essentially that every awards ceremony in the UK stinks.
“We grew up with the Brit [Awards], which is like this sort of drunken car crash that you don’t want to get involved with. So, yeah, we don’t really know what to make of it.”
Radiohead will be inducted at the ceremony in Brooklyn, New York on March 29, with Janet Jackson and Stevie Nicks also being honoured.
The class of 2019 will see the three iconic acts being recognised alongside The Cure, Def Leppard, Roxy Music and The Zombies.
Pop superstar Janet said in a statement: “Thank you Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I am truly honored and I am happy to be in there with my brothers.”
In 1997 Janet’s siblings – Jackie, Jermaine, Marlon, Michael and Tito – were inducted as the Jackson 5, while ‘Thriller’ hitmaker Michael was part of the class of 2001.
To be eligible for this year’s ballot each nominee must have released their first single or album in or before 1993.
The likes of LL Cool J, Kraftwerk, MC5 and Rage Against The Machine were on the initial shortlist, but didn’t get named in the final class.

Liam and Noel Gallagher ‘will be kept apart at Glastonbury’

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam and Noel Gallagher will reportedly be kept apart at Glastonbury 2019.
Both the famous Britpop brothers are said to be performing at the iconic Worthy Farm festival in June, but they will be booked on separate days to avoid any drama between the former Oasis bandmates.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “Liam will be second to last act on the Main Stage Friday night, just before headliner Stormzy.
“He should keep all the old indie heads happy with some big songs.”
Hopes of the ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ group reuniting have been dashed with the report adding that Noel is set to play on the following night on June 29.
Glastonbury Festival takes place between June 26 and June 30 in Somerset, South West England, and this year’s extravaganza will be headlined by grime superstar Stormzy, with Kylie Minogue also announced for the iconic Sunday afternoon Legend slot.
The latest update comes after 46-year-old Liam – whose follow-up to chart topping solo debut album ‘As You Were’ will be released by September – was blasted by brother Noel, 51, when he claimed Liam’s calls for an Oasis comeback were “for his ego”.
He said: “Liam wants to do it for his ego – he never gave a shit about the fans… He wouldn’t have walked off stage 25 times in his career if he gave a s*** about the fans.”
Noel added that his sibling’s jibes towards his wife Sara MacDonald on Twitter – which have seen the ‘Songbird’ songwriter call his sister-in-law a “witch” – have ruined the chances of there ever being a reunion.
He insisted: “That thing about my kids and my wife. No way. If I had 50 quid (pounds) left in my pocket I’d rather go busking. No way, I can’t do it.”

Jeremy Clarkson feared death when a gun was put to his head

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeremy Clarkson had a brush with death after a gang member held a gun against his head in Detroit.
The 58-year-old TV presenter had the weapon pointed at him in a hairy moment when he was filming ‘Top Gear’ years ago, but he was reminded of the incident when he returned to the city to shoot a scene for motoring series ‘The Grand Tour’ with co-stars Richard Hammond and James May.
He said: “Somebody held a gun against my head in Detroit. It’s a long, complicated story but we were trying to do some filming and some people thought we were trespassing on their turf.
“It was pretty nasty. And this time, 100 yards from where that happened, I was having dumplings in a goose broth.”
An insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Jeremy was filming ‘Top Gear’ in a ruined railway station but was warned by cops not to go inside as there were warring gang factions operating. But he ignored the advice and was surrounded by gangs. Thankfully, he talked himself out of the situation.”
The former ‘Top Gear’ host returned to Michigan’s largest city to film a feature on American muscle cars, and believes the “dangerous” city’s safety has improved slightly since his horrific ideal because you can now “stay in a nice hotel” and go short distances safely.
He said: “I’m sure if you actually lived there you wouldn’t call it interesting, you’d call it dangerous.
“But the chrome shoots of rejuvenation are growing again so you can actually eat quite well there, you can stay in a nice hotel, you can go short distances from A to B without being shot.”
The latest series sees the pals visiting Chongqing in China, and Colombia.
The ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’ host said: “There’s a trip across Colombia where we have to try and get from one side of the country to another, without being eaten by any animals.”
‘The Grand Tour’ airs on Amazon Prime Video on January 18.

Eamonn Holmes surprised by Ruth Langsford’s soap binges

OHMYGOSSIP — Eamonn Holmes is flabbergasted how his wife Ruth Langsford has so many soaps to watch, despite her tuning into them “every single night”.
The ‘This Morning’ co-hosts have separate TV planners in two living rooms, where they record their own series, but he cannot understand why she can never catch up with the likes of ‘EastEnders’ and ‘Coronation Street’, despite regularly binge-watching the programmes.
The ‘Do The Right Thing’ presenter told the ‘Series Linked’ podcast: “Sometimes I go into Ruth’s room and I say, ‘How many episodes of ‘EastEnders’ have been made? How could you possibly have six to watch?’
“I just don’t get that, because she’s always watching them. Every night she’s watching ‘EastEnders’ and ‘Corrie’, every single night.”
Instead of the goings-on on the cobbles or in Albert Square, Eamonn prefers to tune into football and factual programmes, but admits if he is ever invited to watch the soaps with Ruth she will instruct him to be silent throughout.
He added: “We watch TV in separate rooms. We tend to watch different shows, so I suppose I watch a lot of live news, current affairs, that sort of stuff and football.
“That would take up a lot of my life viewing. Ruth loves ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and won’t go out on a Saturday night when that is on.
“On a Saturday night, a lot of people may not realise, but television like BBC Two and Channel Five, in particular, have got a lot of programmes that are factual-orientated.
“Even if she was luring me in, she would actually say ‘You can come in here, only if you don’t ask any questions. Don’t be interrupting me with anything’. So we don’t really watch TV together.”
Eamonn insists the pair have only ever watched three whole series together, with the most recent one being ‘Peter Kay’s Car Share’.
While the couple don’t watch a lot of TV together, they work best when they are on the box with each other.
They are currently hosting Channel Five consumer series ‘Do The Right Thing’, as well as ‘This Morning’ on Fridays, and the pair will also co-present new show ‘This Morning on Sunday’, which will feature a selection of the funniest and most entertaining moments from the week.

Kerry Katona joins Celebs Go Dating in search of ‘new daddy’ for kids

OHMYGOSSIP — Kerry Katona is going on ‘Celebs Go Dating’ to find a “new daddy” for her children.
The Atomic Kitten singer – who has kids Molly, 17, and Lilly-Sue, 15 with Brian McFadden; Heidi, 11, and Maxwell, 10, with Mark Croft; and Dylan-Jorge, five, with George Kay – has joked she will get her “t*ts” out on the E4 show, but will not snogs anyone on TV for fear of embarrassing her children.
Speaking to The Sun Online, she said: “My Molly said, ‘Mum, by all means do the show but if you put your tongue down anyone’s throat I will never speak to you again.’
“Someone said to me I’d be the talk of the playground and I said, ‘I don’t give a s**t about the mums but what I do give a s**t about is what the kids will be saying to my kids in the classroom.’
“I wouldn’t do it to them. The kids have got enough stick over my past. I wouldn’t do it to them – on camera. I didn’t say I wouldn’t get my t*ts out though.
“We got Molly on the show – Lily doesn’t know as she’ll be jealous – she was on Facetime and went ‘OK mummy, go and find me a new daddy.’ ”
Kerry – who has previously been married to Brian, Mark and George – admits she “started crying” at the show’s mixer party, which is held to encourage the celebs to mingle, because her past marriages had knocked her confidence.
She said: “I’ve never done the whole dating thing, I just marry them.
“For me now my walls are so high up that I’m not letting anybody in and it doesn’t matter if they’re lovely, I get so nervous because of my previous relationships – my last few marriages.
“Honest to God when we did the first mixer I looked amazing but I got really overwhelmed. I started crying.”
