Bindi Irwin still devastated by dad’s death

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Bindi Irwin lost “part of [her] heart” when her father died.
The 20-year-old star was just eight years old when her dad, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, passed away after being attacked by a stingray in 2006, and though people tried to reassure her that her grief would ease with time, she hasn’t found that to be the case.
She told People magazine: “I remember people coming up to me and saying, ‘I’m sorry for your loss, sweetheart. Time heals all wounds.’ But that’s just not true.
“It’s like losing a part of your heart, and when you’ve lost that, you never get it back.”
The ‘Crikey! It’s the Irwins’ star, along with her brother Robert, 15, and mother Terri, 54, works hard to keep her father’s memory and campaigns alive, and the family travel the world promoting his charity Wildlife Warriors – which aims to educate people about endangered species – as well as working at their Australia Zoo.
And Bindi hopes Steve would be proud of their efforts.
She said: “I sure hope dad would be proud. We really do try every day to make him proud and follow in his footsteps. I hope that somewhere he’s out there going, ‘Yes! You did good!’ ”
Robert added: “This is our passion. It’s a part of us, and Australia Zoo will always be home.”
Meanwhile, Bindi is delighted her boyfriend, Chandler Powell, shares so many of her dad’s best qualities.
She said: “He loves wildlife and conservation and he has this strength. Which is necessary when you’re jumping on crocs.”
The 22-year-old wakeboarder has moved from Florida to join his girlfriend and her family in Australia
and has embraced his new life.
He quipped: “I’ve got my khaki on and I am loving it!”

Jodie Comer approached for Strictly Come Dancing 2019

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Jodie Comer has been approached by ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ bosses.
The ‘Killing Eve’ actress is a huge fan of the show and was even spotted in the studio audience this year but admitted she would not take part because she is afraid of embarrassing herself.
She told The Sun: “I went with my mum and my nan because my nan is a ‘Strictly’ superfan.
“It was a once in a lifetime for her so it was really fun.
“[Show bosses] were like, ‘Maybe next year, Jodie … ?’ I was like, ‘Mmm, no, I don’t think so!’ I’d embarrass myself, definitely!”
However, Jodie admitted her grandmother was not impressed by watching the show live.
She said: “It was so funny because my nan was like, ‘This camera is in the way, I can’t see a thing!’.
“I think it kind of killed the magic for her. All that stuff annoyed her a little bit.”
Meanwhile, Jodie, 25 – who plays killer Villanelle in the BBC’s ‘Killing Eve’ opposite Sandra Oh as MI5 detective Eve Polastri – recently heaped praise on the way the hugely popular crime drama portrayed its more violent moments.
She explained: “What I loved about the violence in ‘Killing Eve’ was that a lot of it was suggested to you; you didn’t see it.
“Some of it was gruesome. There was a lot of humour in it, or artistry. I don’t know if this is the Villanelle in me, defending what she does.”
After the first season’s huge success, attention is now turning to a second series, and Jodie has hinted that viewers will find out more about her mysterious character.
She teased: “People’s questions about Villanelle are always: does she have emotions; does she have morals?
“You know, we have these glimpses of her maybe feeling something, but what is it? What is it that we don’t know?
“That’s definitely something that we’ve explored in series two, whether she is battling with her conscience – what’s under there?”

James Nesbitt compares himself to playboy Cold Feet character

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — James Nesbitt says he has plenty in common with his playboy ‘Cold Feet’ character.
The 53-year-old actor portrays Adam Williams in the comedy and admitted he can see himself in Adam, who humiliates his family in the upcoming series by chasing after young women.
James – whose 22 year marriage to Sonia Forbes-Adams ended in divorce two years ago after a string of cheating allegations against him – told The Sun: “God, I’ve certainly put my family through some difficult times in the past. There’s not a million miles between me and Adam – as much as I’d like to say it’s been a stretch.
“I wouldn’t say I’ve learnt a lot from him, I would say he is influenced quite a lot by me
“I just don’t think men want to grow up as quickly. It depends on who the person is, of course – I’ve got some male friends who are extremely mature. I spend as little time with them as possible.”
James blames his previous wild ways on finding fame later in life.
He said: “I was a wee bit lost at a time when I was beginning to get successful.”
In the seventh series – the second since its revival in 2016 – James’ character Adam cheated on girlfriend Tina Reynolds (Leanne Best) with his work colleague Sarah Poynter (Amy Huberman).
While Adam has admitted his alter-ego is “flawed”, he previously admitted he is hoping his “likeability returns” after his character was unfaithful.
He said: “That’s quite a serious point. It’s very important that Adam’s likeability returns.
“Adam is flawed and an idiot but I think that was a wee bit of a challenge in the last series, so I’m really excited about the new one.”
‘Cold Feet’ ran for five series until 2003, and made a highly anticipated comeback 13 years later.

Emily Blunt’s emotional musical performance

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Blunt found it “virtually impossible” to shoot her first musical number for ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ because she was so emotional.
The 35-year-old actress – who has daughters Hazel, four, and Violet, two, with husband John Krasinski – struggled with performing the moving song as the titular character because it turned her thoughts to her own family.
She explained: “The first few times I sang ‘The Place Where Lost Things Go’, I was so moved by it, I found it virtually impossible to get through it.
“It was so emotional for me because I did think of my own children and these children in the film – their sense of loss, trying to hold their father together.
“They have dealt with something so agonising and profound – to lose a parent and to be so young and miss her so much.”
Emily refused to rewatch the original ‘Mary Poppins’ movie before she started filming the sequel and thinks she made the right decision because she was “floored” when she went back to the 1964 classic – which starred Dame Julie Andrews as the magical nanny – after shooting had wrapped.
She said: “Although I’d seen it as a child, I decided not to watch the original so close to shooting our version. I just decided to go on my gut instinct.
“As soon as we wrapped, I watched the original and was just floored by it. I was probably relieved that I hadn’t watched it because I was like, ‘Oh my God, she’s amazing.’ ”
Instead, the British star found P.L. Travers’ original novels “enormously helpful” when it came to preparing for the part.
She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “I found the books enormously helpful.
“She leapt off the page at me, just in how complicated she is.
“She’s stern, incredibly rude and vain but funny, and yet there’s this humanity.
“She has such a childlike wonder and is probably a bit of an adrenaline junkie. She’s so enigmatic.
“It was such a delicious character to play. Loved her.”

Ariana Grande to headline Manchester Pride?

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Ariana Grande is set to headline Manchester Pride 2019.
The ‘Thank U, Next’ hitmaker is reportedly in talks to return to the Northern English city for the first time since staging the One Love Manchester concert in June 2017 – which she organised to raise money for the victims and families of those affected by a terrorist attack at her concert at the Manchester Arena in May that year – to perform at the annual event on Sunday, August 25, on its 25th anniversary.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Manchester holds a very special place in Ariana’s heart and she’s made it clear she wants to do whatever she can for the city.
“She was in talks to ­perform at Manchester Pride this year but ­unfortunately they just could not make it work due to various reasons down to space and security. But the council and Ariana were so eager to make it ­happen, they have picked up conversations for 2019 and it is now looking like she will headline the Sunday evening.
“It is going to be really ­special if it does work out, particularly given how much Ariana means to everyone in the city.”
Event organisers are said to be planning to make next year’s Pride “radically different” to previous years, and the Friday-Monday celebrations are moving to a new venue, despite traditionally being staged in the city’s ‘gay village’ around the Canal Street area.
The news comes after the 25-year-old pop star omitted the city from her ‘Sweetener’ world tour dates, but later promised something “special” for Manchester.
Ariana – who is an honorary citizen of the city – posted on Instagram: “We are planning a special show.
“We need a bit more time getting things together before we can announce that date but we are of course coming and we love you.”

Ryan Thomas turned down Celebrity Big Brother counselling

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Thomas turned down counselling after being falsely accused of punching Roxanne Pallett.
The disgraced former ‘Emmerdale’ actress caused outrage when she claimed her housemate had attacked her during ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, only to admit afterwards she “got it wrong”.
And now the 34-year-old actor has revealed he turned to his family for support rather than a therapist, despite being offered help by the Channel 5 show’s team.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “The show gives you that option and they look after you in that sense. “I’m quite level headed and I’ve got a good family around me, and network of friends that look after me. I didn’t feel that was necessary.”
The Mancunian – who was best known for portraying Jason Grimshaw on ITV’s ‘Coronation Street’ from 2000 until 2016 – says after spending weeks “enclosed” in the ‘CBB’ house, the “highlight” was being reunited with his family, especially his 10-year-old daughter Scarlett – whom he has with former ‘Corrie’ co-star Tina O’Brien.
He said: “The happiest moment for me was getting out and being with my family and friends.
“That’s my safe place. It’s the best feeling in the world.
“Being in an enclosed environment for three weeks, and then being reunited with your daughter, your brothers, your mum and dad, that was the highlight for me.”
Roxanne, 36, has been keeping a low profile since the incident , but reportedly sent Ryan a letter apologising for her behaviour.
A source said in September: “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 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.”

Nicole Kidman thrilled daughters by swallowing a fish

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Kidman’s daughters thought her swallowing a fish in ‘Aquaman’ was the “highlight” of her career.
The 51-year-old actress may have won four Golden Globes, two Emmy Awards, a BAFTA and an Oscar, but Sunday, 10, and seven-year-old Faith – her kids with husband Keith Urban – have never been more impressed than when they visited her on the set of her latest movie ‘Aquaman’.
Nicole, who plays Queen Atlanna, the Queen of Atlantis, in the movie, said: “They saw me swallow a goldfish… Well, in their eyes, that is the highlight of my career.
“It was a gelatin goldfish. I did not eat a real goldfish, as much as I am dedicated to my art.”
The actress particularly enjoyed working on the film because it was shot in her native Australia.
She said: “My mom was able to come up and stay and my daughters were very happy to be there.”
‘Aquaman’ marks the first time Nicole’s daughters have been genuinely excited about her work.
She said in a recent interview to promote the movie: “They’re more excited about this film than they have been about anything I’ve done before.
“They’re not really interested in most of the work I do, and this is the first movie I’ve made that they can tell the kids at school about that they’re interested in too. Particularly the boys, who are all like, ‘Is your Mom really going to be in ‘Aquaman’? Wow.’ ”
And the ‘Big Little Lies’ star was delighted to take on a lighter role after shooting ‘Destroyer’, in which she plays an emotionally-damaged cop, and ‘Boy Erased’, in which she is the conflicted mother of a homosexual son.
She said: “Towards the end of my making ‘Destroyer’, Keith did say, ‘When will this be over?’
“He is very supportive of my artistic choices but that was just intense. But with ‘Aquaman’, I could just have fun.
“And I really needed that at that time – I was like, ‘Please. Bring it on.’ ”

Karlie Kloss on honeymoon

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Karlie Kloss has gone on honeymoon, two months after getting married.
The ‘Project Runway’ host tied the knot with Joshua Kushner in October and now they are celebrating their nuptials with a romantic holiday in South Africa.
Karlie shared a selfie of herself and her spouse during a safari trip on her Instagram account and captioned the image with honey and moon emojis.
The couple – who were together for six years before getting married – have been getting close to nature on their break.
In one image shared by the 26-year-old beauty, she stood in an infinity pool watching an elephant walk by, while another photo was of a yawning lion, to which she added the caption: “Mood.”
And on her Instagram Story, Karlie shared her excitement after seeing a large family of elephants on Wednesday (26.12.18).
She mouthed to the camera: “Oh my God.”
Meanwhile, 33-year-old Jared shared a picture of his new wife wearing a straw hat and floral outfit, which he simply captioned: “South Africa.”
The couple married in a Jewish ceremony in New York in October in front of fewer than 80 guests but are expected to host a larger event for friends and family next year.
A friend who attended said at the time: “The wedding was intimate and moving. The couple were beaming with happiness.”
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel – who wore a lace Dior gown – and the entrepreneur announced their engagement in July, weeks after Joshua had popped the question in the Big Apple.
A source said at the time: “They’re both overjoyed and happily celebrating. Their hearts are full and they’re excited to build their future together.”
Karlie recently admitted she took inspiration from the Duchess of Sussex, who wed Prince Harry earlier this year, when picking out her wedding gown.
She said: “She looked gorgeous on her wedding day. I feel it’s a day that you want to just feel happy, beautiful, and not stressed. I think what makes someone most beautiful, especially on their wedding day, is when that glow comes from the inside.
“I’m still kind of enjoying the engagement bliss, but I’m definitely somebody who opts for ‘less is more’ when it comes to beauty. I love a strong lip or a strong eye, but I would want to keep it more natural. For hair, an updo is pretty logical. Get it out the way, so you can dance and have a good time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicki Minaj is set to voice a character in ‘The Angry Birds Movie 2’.
The 36-year-old rapper made her acting debut six years ago with a voice role in the 2012 animation ‘Ice Age: Continental Drift’, and she’s now set to take on another creature’s voice, as she’s landed a role in the upcoming sequel to the 2016 Sony animation ‘The Angry Birds Movie’.
According to Variety, Nicki’s role is currently unknown, but she’ll join returning stars Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Bill Hader, Danny McBride, and Peter Dinklage, as well as new voices from the likes of Leslie Jones, Rachel Bloom, Awkwafina, Sterling K. Brown, Eugenio Derbez, Lil Rel Howery, Dove Cameron, and Zach Woods.
‘The Angry Birds Movie 2’ is directed by Thurop Van Orman and co-directed by John Rice, and follows on from the first movie, which was based on the hit mobile video game franchise.
The movie is set for release on August 16 2019, which coincides with the 10th anniversary of the start of the franchise, which has seen its games downloaded a whopping 4 billion times.
The first movie grossed $350 million worldwide, including $107.5 million domestically, and was set on an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – with the exception of Red (voiced by Sudeikis), speedy Chuck (Gad), and Bomb (McBride).
In the games, players must use the birds to defeat structures built by pigs, and in the movies, Bill Hader voices Leonard, king of the pigs, whilst Peter Dinklage is the Mighty Eagle.
Previously, Nicki has also had roles in ‘The Other Woman, and ‘Barbershop: The Next Cut’.

Noel Gallagher expected solo struggle

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Gallagher expected being a solo artist to be “hard work”.
The former Oasis guitarist – who quit the group in 2009 due to tension with his brother, frontman Liam Gallagher enjoys the freedom he has going it alone and the last few years have been a “breeze”.
He said: “I’ve taken a couple of projects now to the point where I thought they were s**t and just canned them. You can do that.
“To be a solo artist and an independent artist is a great place to be because you don’t answer to a record label, you don’t answer to an A&R department, It can be a bit hairy at times, trying to make it all work, but it’s better than I thought it would be.
“I thought it would be hard work and it’s been a breeze. If you can write and you can play, you’ve got it all.”
But the 51-year-old star thinks he’s been lucky because traditionally guitarists don’t fare as well as frontmen when bands go their separate ways.
He said recently: “When bands break up and the guitarist goes solo, you can count on two fingers the guitarist who have been any good.
“It’s usually the other guy, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page for instance, Ian Brown and John Squire for instance.
“What I had in my favour is I’d sung and done gigs, not through desire but necessity, to get the band out of the s**t.
“So nobody was freaking out when they heard my voice. Usually when a guitarist goes solo, you go, ‘Is that what he sounds like? F***ing hell.’ ”

Ozzy Osbourne isn’t quitting touring

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Ozzy Osbourne will “still tour”, despite being in the middle of his “farewell tour” named ‘No More Tours 2’.
The 70-year-old rocker has backtracked on his decision to put an end to his touring days, as he says the despite playing what should be his final shows, he won’t actually stop touring, and should have instead named his last tour the ‘Slowing Down Tour’.
He said: “People have gotten that all wrong. The tour should have been the Ozzy Osbourne ‘Slowing Down Tour’.”
Instead, the Black Sabbath frontman is planning on scaling back the shows he does, because he says he’s getting too old to travel the world all year.
Speaking to Pasadena Star-News, the ‘War Pigs’ hitmaker added: “What I’m actually doing is not going out on January 1 and coming back on December 31. I’ll still tour, but not as extensively like I have been for the last 50 years.
“I mean, I have grandchildren now and I’m 70 years old and I don’t want to be found dead in a hotel room somewhere. I’m going to do it at a more leisurely pace and do some shows in Vegas … but I’ll never stop.
“The whole lifestyle I have lived, it has all come down to the fact that there are people who want to hear me and as long as they want to hear me, I’m there.”
Ozzy will return to the stage for more of his ‘No More Tours 2’ tour in 2019, after having postponed a number of gigs thanks to a hand infection.
And the rocker is excited to complete the tour, especially his planned show at the Hollywood Bowl in LA.
He said recently: “I was really looking forward to doing the Hollywood Bowl. I’m going to make those shows up next year. It could have been a lot worse. I could have been dead.”

Pearl Lowe’s fashion rules

OHMYGOSSIP — Pearl Lowe worries about looking “muffin”.
The 48-year-old fashion designer – who has daughter Daisy, 29, with Gavin Rossdale and Alfie, 22, Frankie, 19, and 12-year-old Betty with husband Danny Goffey – loves “faded glamour” and her latest collection of vintage-inspired dresses were designed with her own body shape in mind.
She said: “I’m not stick thin, I’ve got boobs and a bum and I find it really difficult to find clothes, so I have to create them.
“Also I don’t ever want to look ‘muffin’ so I won’t wear anything mini, sleeveless or tight any more.”
And the former Powder rocker won’t wear skinny jeans any more.
She said in a recent interview: “I haven’t worn them for 10 years. If I had a nice body I would, but since moving to the country I’ve put on weight so I prefer myself in dresses – although it can get a bit cold here in Somerset in the winter.”
Pearl also views Daisy as a “constant source of inspiration” and also has her in mind when designing.
She explained: “I call her my muse because she’s a curvy girl.
“So I design with her in mind because if it looks lovely on her, I can think, ‘OK, that’s great.’ ”
Daisy views Pearl as a role model and credits her mother for making her the person she is now.
She said: “Her creativity and enthusiasm for making women feel beautiful from the inside out has certainly nurtured me into the woman I am today.”
And the brunette beauty enjoys fronting campaigns for her mother.
She said: “Modelling for her can often be a lot more enjoyable as we’re so comfortable with each other.
“But we do sometimes disagree on certain aspects, as most mothers and daughters do.”

Destiny’s Child stylist couldn’t get big name designers to take them ‘seriously’

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Beyonce’s stylist says it was difficult to get big name designers to agree to work with Destiny’s Child.
Ty Hunter has worked with the ‘Crazy in Love’ hitmaker and her bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, both in the girl band and as solo artists, and revealed early on in their career, before they landed a hit with ‘Independent Women’ in 2001, fashion’s elite houses wouldn’t take the trio “seriously”.
Ty told W magazine: “Oh yeah, we couldn’t. When I started, the reason why the girls wore Mrs. Tina so much is because no one would let us pull.
“It took “Independent Woman” for people to start looking at the group seriously.”
The 46-year-old stylist – who also worked on looks for Beyonce’s sister Solange Knowles, 32 – revealed how designers would have a “favourite” girl and would only want to dress one of them.
He recalled: “Sometimes a showroom might say, ‘We only want to style this person from the group.’
“So there was a lot of that going on.
“It was the craziest thing. There were showrooms that had their favorites like, ‘You can only dress Kelly.’
“‘You can only put clothes on Michelle.’
‘You can only pull for Beyoncé.’
“It was like that sometimes. I loved the designers that allowed me to take a chance and show a full story and have their clothes on three beautiful women. But the ones that got it, got it.”
Ty also revealed that Beyonce – who has daughter Blue Ivy, six, and 18-month-old twins Rumi and Sir with rapper Jay-Z – wasn’t really into labels, which made his job easy because she would wear anything she felt “comfortable” in.
Early on it was all about being “edgy”, so they opted for a lot of Roberto Cavalli looks.
He said: “Roberto Cavalli was edgy, edgy, edgy. So I used a lot of Cavalli. Beyoncé’s the type of person who’s not into labels. She’s like, ‘Whatever’s hot, why not?’
“That’s what I liked about her. I was able to help a lot of young designers and start their careers, while working for her, like Michael Costello and Rubin Singer. Whatever she feels comfortable in works. That’s why we were able to help a lot of peoples’ careers – and still do.”

Adut Akech: Naomi Campbell taught me confidence

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Adut Akech says Naomi Campbell taught her to “stay true” to herself.
The 19-year-old model considers the beauty to be a “second mum” to her now after being “inspired” by her early in her career, and says that now she’s a “role model” herself, she hopes to pass on the message of self-confidence that 48-year-old Naomi taught her.
In an interview with Vogue Australia, she said: “When I was growing up, the role models who inspired me in my career were Alek Wek and Naomi Campbell, who is like a second mum to me now.
“I also look up to Lupita Nyong’o, and through her, I’ve learnt about beauty and being comfortable in your own skin and I gained the confidence of knowing my own beauty and worth.
“Because of my success, I realise I’ve become something of a role model to young girls and I am excited about that, but I’m not going to lie, I also feel a bit of pressure, because I think people are going to expect so much of me and I don’t want to do anything wrong.
“If a young girl of colour aspiring to be a model asks me for advice, I would say: know who you are and stay true to yourself because being in this industry it’s so easy to lose yourself, which is the advice that Naomi Campbell gave me when I started.
“Also, work hard, because nothing is going to come easy. You have to want it so bad and give it everything you’ve got.”
The star went on to explain that the industry is more diverse than it used to be, and that she’s glad to see a more inclusive catwalk.
She said: “There have definitely been changes in the industry since I was officially signed to an agent at 15, and I feel happy about what’s happening. I’m seeing a lot more diversity on the runway and in campaigns. ”

Vera Wang: Anna Wintour told me to have kids

OHMYGOSSIP — Anna Wintour told Vera Wang to have kids.
The 69-year-old designer revealed that at the start of her career she was close with the editor, who advised her that it was time to settle down and start a family.
In an interview with Vogue Australia, Vera said: “We first met when she first moved to NYC, we still argue over how old we both were, but we were young and Anna loved tennis even then.
“Throughout our careers, ups and downs, we were always able to confide and encourage and support each other.
“When I was still single, and Anna had just had Bee, she lectured me one evening in Paris: ‘It’s time for you to get married and think of starting a family’, but then Ralph Lauren had actually advised me the same thing.”
The fashion icon went on to explain that it was her wedding that inspired her famous bridal gowns, although she never intended to be a wedding dress designer.
She said: “I have always insisted that I brought freedom, I was not a bridal gown designer per se, and nothing in my resume at Vogue or Ralph Lauren would suggest that.
“However, I was a fashion editor and designer who did not feel the need to conform to the standardised look of bridal gowns in the 90s. Opening the door to wedding fashion for brides of all sensibilities and styles was probably my greatest contribution.”
Vera also insisted that her secret to designing the perfect wedding dress is putting the individual first and creating a gown that matches her personality.
She said: “When I do ready-to-wear it is very much my aesthetic. For a bride it is very different, but hopefully the same intellect.”

Tamzin Outhwaite hates filming sex scenes

OHMYGOSSIP — Tamzin Outhwaite hates filming sex scenes.
The 48-year-old actress returned to ‘EastEnders’ last year to reprise her role as Melanie Owen after a 15-year absence but insisted she isn’t keen on raunchy scenes for her character.
She told the Daily Mirror: “It’s not an age thing. I just don’t want to get my kit off.”
Tamzin – who has daughters Florence, 10, and Marnie, six, with ex-husband, actor Tom Ellis – also revealed she won’t let her kids watch her character Melanie’s upcoming wedding scenes because it is “too dark” for them.
Tamzin’s alter ego has been left devastated after discovering her lying partner Ray Kelly (Sean Mahon) is already married to two other women and she has spent months planning how to get her revenge on their own wedding day.
Tamzin said: “It’s like a horror or the darker side of EastEnders, so I’m not sure I’ll want my children to watch. When I was out there I was scared.
“But I’m all up for the darkness. It felt dangerous to film.”
However, she also admitted her children are not very interested in watching her onscreen.
She said: “They find it weird. I think they’d watch it more if I wasn’t in it!”
Tamzin previously admitted she took three months of persuading to return to ‘EastEnders’.
The actress said that without the show’s former producer John Yorke’s persistence, she probably wouldn’t have agreed to come back.
She admitted: “I wouldn’t be doing it if it wasn’t for him I don’t think.
“He was my boss and I know that he had the show well covered when we were doing it and it was a great time to be in the programme so I got quite excited when he asked me.
“It took about three months to say a definite ‘yes’ but during that time I couldn’t get the voice out of my head of ‘oh going back to EastEnders’.”
