Ant McPartlin’s dog custody issue to end

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Ant McPartlin’s ex-wife is to give up custody of their dog.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ presenter and Lisa Armstrong have taken their beloved Labrador Hurley on alternate weeks since splitting in January, but with handovers growing increasingly fraught, the 42-year-old make-up artist has reportedly decided to save herself from further turmoil and hand the pooch over to her former partner so she can move on.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Lisa was desperate to keep Hurley.
“He’s her baby boy, her one constant throughout this ordeal.
“But she doesn’t want anything to do with Ant in future. Sadly to achieve that she must choose between keeping Hurley or moving on without him.”
The former couple are said to refuse to see one another during exchanges with Hurley and they recently had a row over who got to spend Christmas with their furry friend, who they adopted in 2013.
Ant, also 42, is currently banned from driving so his chauffeur usually collects the dog from Lisa, but as the former ‘Byker Grove’ star’s staff aren’t working over the festive period, he’s said to have told his ex-wife that he’d simply keep Hurley for the holidays, much to her fury.
A source said: “Lisa refused, saying it was her turn.
“After a massive argument Lisa’s parents are now driving to Ant’s in Wimbledon to pick up Hurley.”
The former couple were granted a divorce in October but are still in negotiations in how to divide their assets, with Hurley also regarded as a personal possession in the eyes of the law.
Jewellery and valuable artwork, including paintings by street artist Banksy, are also part of the pair’s negotiations, while Lisa is expected to get as much as half of Ant’s £52 million fortune.
The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ presenter – who has taken a break from TV this year to focus on his sobriety – is now dating his former personal assistant, Anne-Marie Corbett.

Holly Willoughby wants Dancing On Ice romances

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby wants the ‘Dancing On Ice’ contestants to find love on the show.
The 37-year-old presenter – who has children Harry, nine, Belle, seven, and four-year-old Chester with husband Dan Baldwin – is keen to play matchmaker on the programme, though she doesn’t want there to be any scandal of attached celebrities or professional skaters leaving their partners for someone else.
She said: “Over the years I’ve set up quite a few people.
“I really want there to be a romance on Dancing On Ice this series. Wouldn’t it be great? We all like a bit of romance.
“As long as it’s two single people, then I’m well up for a bit of setting people up.”
But her co-presenter Phillip Schofield is more keen to see sparks fly than cupid’s arrow and plans to stir up arguments between the judges and competing couples.
He told reporters: “A good row is great. I’m looking forward to seeing James Jordan, who told me, ‘The judges are professionals, I’ll respect what they say’. That’s going to last a week.
“Me and Holly will step back and let it happen . . . and if it’s not happening, I might poke it a little bit.”
Meanwhile, judge Christopher Dean has confirmed there won’t be a 2019 tour after the TV show comes to an end amid rumours it had been axed due to poor ticket sales in the past.
He said: “There won’t be a tour next year.
“We feel it’s not the right time. We may have another tour next time, but not this series.”
Brian McFadden, Wes Nelson, Jane Danson, Didi Conn, Richard Blackwood and Saara Aalto are among the celebrities taking part on the show this year.
‘Dancing On Ice’ returns to ITV on January 6.

David Walliams and Matt Lucas to resume partnership?

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — David Walliams and Matt Lucas are to work together again.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge has rekindled his friendship with his former comedy partner and now they are reportedly set to reteam for the first time in eight years to revive one of their shows, with airline sketch show ‘Come Fly With Me’ tipped to be their chosen project.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “It’s all very quiet, and very recent, but Matt and David have started speaking again. They’ve made up, which is amazing and what’s even better is that they are in serious discussions to work together next year.
“Both realise they missed one another a lot and realise how much joy they can bring themselves and the general public by making a comeback.
“‘Come Fly With Me’ is seeming the best option at the moment.”
The news comes after David, 47, admitted he’d also love to bring back ‘Little Britain’ for another tour.
He said in November: “I would like to return to it. I would like to do a live show again, I think that would be fun.”
Asked what Matt thinks of the idea, he added: “Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, y’know.
“We were talking about, there’s an idea to possible do it for charity as well.
“The show wasn’t that big in America. I think we would do Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland.”
The pair fell out during their 2005 ‘Little Britain Live’ tour, with Matt previously detailing in his autobiography, ‘Little Me’, how they were “often at loggerheads” over minor issues such as what chocolate to have backstage, which rapidly escalated.
And the 44-year-old comic recalled how an argument over his co-star’s facial hair ended with them “hurling obscenities at one another”.
The pair stopped speaking to one another in 2011 but came face-to-face at Dale Winton’s funeral earlier this year.

Dominic West suggests transgender James Bond

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Dominic West thinks it would be “cool” to have a transgender James Bond.
The ‘Colette’ actor initially admitted he “doesn’t see” the idea of a female in the role of the iconic spy, but then suggested Hannah Graf – the highest-ranked transgender soldier in the British army – would be ideal for the role.
Asked about the idea of a female Bond, he said: “Well …I think some of these things are gender specific. So I don’t see it myself.
“Maybe a transgender Bond would be cool. Yes, there’s a very cool woman who’s the wife of an actor [Jake Graf] in ‘Colette’, who is a captain in the electrical engineers, the highest-ranking transgender soldier in the army.
“She’s done two tours of Afghanistan. She’s a beautiful blonde girl who could be Bond, yes. That’s actually a brilliant idea. T
“hey should have a transgender Bond because there are a lot of transgender people in the army.
“They’d be ideal because they can do everything. That’s a great idea! A transgender Bond.”
The 49-year-old actor also admitted he’s jump at the chance to take over as 007 from Daniel Craig.
He told the Sunday Times magazine: “[I’d give it to] me. I think we need an older Bond.
“Of course I would [take it], but I don’t think I will be [offered the role].”
A few years ago, Dominic was so convinced his ‘The Wire’ co-star Idris Elba would land the coveted role, he tried to bet “as much as [he] could” on his friend being cast, but was blocked by bookmakers.
He said: “I thought, this is easy money, Idris is definitely going to get it.
“I had no inside information, but I was convinced, so I thought I might as well cash in. I was going to put a lot of money on it. As much as I could.”
However, after sending his nephew to place the wager, he learned there’d been a cap placed on how much could be bet on the ‘Luther’ star, and that the odds “were pretty rubbish”, so decided against it.

Spice Girls plan lyric change

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — The Spice Girls are considering changing the lyrics to some of their most famous hits.
The ‘Wannabe’ hitmakers are currently preparing for a reunion tour in 2019 but Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner are in talks to alter the line from ‘Spice Up Your Life’ that sees them sing about a “yellow man in Timbuktu”.
Mel and Melanie in particular are said to have rowed over the words, with the ‘Going Down’ hitmaker suggesting they should change the words to “happy people” instead.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “The original lyric was meant to be a bit of fun and never intended to be offensive.
“The reality is it’s not acceptable to say that now. Some of the girls feel uncomfortable getting up on stage and performing that lyric, especially when they have such a diverse and multicultural fanbase.
“They pride themselves on standing for inclusivity, so they don’t want to run the risk of offending anybody.”
And that’s not the only song under scrutiny as they are also unsure about some of their other raunchier lyrics, such as those found in ‘First Time Lover’ and ‘2 Become 1’.
The insider added: “In light of the #MeToo era, they are being extra-cautious.
“They don’t want anything to overshadow their reunion for the wrong reasons.”
Meanwhile, the quartet’s rehearsals for the comeback shows have also hit a snag after ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge Mel suffered three broken ribs and other injuries in a fall earlier this month, putting their plans on hold.
A source said: “It is estimated she will take eight to 12 weeks to fully heal, which sets them back massively.”
The group – without Victoria Beckham – will be returning to the stage in May.

Aled Jones’ traditional Christmas

OHMYGOSSIP — Aled Jones enjoys a “traditional” Christmas.
The ‘Walking in the Air’ hitmaker – who has children Emilia, 16, and Lucas, 13, with wife Claire Fosset – believes December 25 is an important day for family and they try to put the youngsters at the heart of their celebrations, echoing his own childhood.
He said: “It’s important to have family time. Our Christmas is so traditional – we play loads of carols and Christmas songs and when the kids were little, we’d put out carrots for the reindeer.
“When they were younger, we’d see Christmas very much through their eyes and think back to when we were kids and about people who aren’t here any more, like my nan, who would always let me win at games at Christmas.
“For me, it’s a really important time to connect with family, eat and drink loads, laugh at rubbish jokes and watch stuff on TV. I love festive TV.”
The family have an early start on Christmas Day – but never as early as Aled, 47, once got his parents up on the big day.
He wrote in a guest column for Closer magazine: “We’re usually up by 9am at the latest. We always do presents first – I would never make my kids wait.
“My daughter takes about an hour to open her presents while my son takes 60 seconds. He’s like the Tasmanian Devil!
“When I was a kid, the earliest I ever got up was at 2.30am, when my mum and dad found me sitting on a bike that I’d already unwrapped.”

Barbara Windsor doing really well

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Barbara Windsor is doing “really well”.
The 81-year-old actress has been battling Alzheimer’s disease since 2014 but she’s still in good spirits and enjoying socialising and seeing her friends, who are impressed by the way she’s retained her long-term memory, even though her short-term recall isn’t great.
Her pal Paul O’Grady said: “Barbara is a sweetheart. We are in touch all the time. People write her off, but she’s doing really well. She went to the panto the other night and to ’42nd Street’.
“I ran into her and said, ‘What’s your mum’s Co-op number, can you remember?’
“She told me then said, ‘How the hell do we remember that?’ I said, ‘Do you remember me?’And she said, ‘You’re hard to ever forget.’ ”
The ‘For the Love of Dogs’ star admitted the ‘Carry On’ actress sometimes repeats herself because she’s forgotten what she’s said, but her friends and family take it in their stride and continue their conversation as normal.
He told the Sun on Sunday newspaper: “If she does repeat herself, you just answer it and carry on like you haven’t heard it before.”
Barbara’s husband, Scott Mitchell – who went public with her illness earlier this year – recently recalled the emotional moment when the British star was diagnosed by her doctor.
He said: “We were sitting down and Dr Kennedy said, ‘Look I’m really sorry, it is Alzheimer’s.’ And Barbara just looked at me and said, ‘I’m so sorry.'”
Although Scott, 55, had noticed she’d become increasingly forgetful, he was still shocked by the diagnosis.
He shared: “First you think it’s because she’s getting older – she was in her 70s then – and I accepted that as par for the course.
“It’s been such a gradual thing, I said, ‘First of all you’re getting forgetful and I think we ought to see someone because if there is wear and tear we may be able to get something to help it’ and I was faced with no resistance, so I was really lucky in that sense.
“Deep down I didn’t think it would be what it was, I just wanted to be safe.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicki Minaj’s boyfriend has had a huge tribute to her tattooed on his neck.
The 36-year-old rapper has only been romancing Kenneth Petty for a few weeks but it seems things are already getting serious between them as he’s made a public and permanent declaration of love by getting ‘Onika’ – the ‘Barbie Dreams’ hitmaker’s real first name – inked on his neck.
Nicki showed off the body art on her Instagram account in a video which she captioned: ” “Did ya tat hurt zaddy? his first tat- frontin like it didn’t sting #Onika #HeavyOnIt #SuperSleezy (sic)”
Earlier this month, Nicki made their romance Instagram official when she shared a photo of them taken during her birthday celebrations in Turks and Caicos.
She captioned the post: “Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happens?… it’s no secret… that the both of us… are running out of time…(sic)”
The ‘Superbass’ hitmaker also spoke out to defend her 40-year-old partner after it was revealed he is a level two sex offender, who was convicted of attempted rape in 1995.
She wrote in response to her critics: “He was 15, she was 16… in a relationship. But go [off] internet. Ya’ll can’t run my life. Ya’ll can’t even run ya’ll own life.(sic)”
She then shared two other photos of them together and wrote: “Oh they wanna talk? Let’s give’m [something] to talk about.(sic)”
Meanwhile, Nicki’s former boyfriend, Meek Mill – who she dated from 2015 to 2017 – recently admitted she’s blocked him from her social media accounts.
The ‘All Eyes on You’ rapper was asked for his opinion on her new boyfriend and when he went to look at the rapper’s new man, he found out he had been blocked.
Asked about Kenneth during a Twitter Q&A session, he replied: “I don’t feel nothing … and I don’t know that man to judge him … I went to check him out on her page and found out I was blocked.”

Dominic West inspired by Captain Fantastic

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Dominic West moved to the countryside after seeing ‘Captain Fantastic’.
The 49-year-old actor – who has a 20-year-old daughter from a previous relationship and Dora, 12, Senan, 10, Francis, nine, and five-year-old Christabel with his wife Catherine FitzGerald – recently relocated to Slaughterford, a tiny village in Wiltshire, South West England, to live out his “fantasy” life.
Asked why he moved, he said: “I saw a film called ‘Captain Fantastic’. Did you see that, with Viggo Mortesen? Anyway, it’s about him raising his kids in the mountains in Oregon or somewhere.
“And I was sitting there and my missus looked at me and she went, ‘This is just your fantasy, isn’t it?’ So we moved to the country.
“But no one said I was going to become a driver. Actually, no, I think maybe they did. And I ignored them. Yeah, I didn’t bank on that.”
But the ‘Colette’ actor admitted some aspects of rural life have left him unimpressed and his kids horrified”.
He told the Sunday Times magazine: “I don’t have f***ing broadband! I’ve been trying to get broadband for two months. The kids are horrified. I keep kicking them out to build forts in the woods, and they just look at me.”
Dominic’s brood are set to get a break from rural life in the coming months as they will be joining him in Los Angeles and homeschooled while he films ‘The Affair’ before travelling across the US to Canada by April.
However – none of his family are keen on the plan and his wife isn’t convinced about his idea of home education.
He said: “She has a point that if we don’t get them out of the house in the morning, she’ll go insane.
“The truth is, I don’t know what we’re going to do, but we’ll do something. Yes, it could be a catastrophe. No one wants to go. It’s fraught with potential disaster.”
Despite his family’s reluctance, the former ‘Wire’ star is confident he’s making the right decision.
He said: “I’ve been away so much doing ‘The Affair’ and I’m very conscious of missing out on these golden years.
“So, when they said they had to do another season of ‘The Affair’, I thought I’d bring them all out with me…
“A friend of mine went around New Zealand on a trip with his wife and two sons, then his wife died a couple of years later and he said that trip is what they’ll remember all their life. So that’s why I’ve forced everyone’s hand. It’s good to be selfish sometimes.”

Shirley Ballas ready to embrace Christmas at last

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Shirley Ballas is finally able to embrace Christmas again thanks to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 58-year-old judge – who replaced Len Goodman on the show in 2017 – and her other Audrey have struggled over the festive season since the suicide of Shirley’s brother David 15 years ago but she admitted she’s now “finally understood” that life goes on.
Shirley told You magazine: “There was no way we could enjoy Christmas without David. I couldn’t believe he wasn’t there, eating his treble helpings of Christmas dinner with ten glasses of milk. David wasn’t a drinker but he loved milk and chocolate – he was a chocoholic!
“After David died, Mum threw away all the decorations. I was living in the US and we always got together as a family – sometimes his daughter Mary would go to her mother’s, sometimes she’d come to me, usually quietly watching films on television and wishing it would be over. It was all a little bit solemn…
“Last year I was the new girl but this year I feel a full part of Strictly and it’s impossible not to be inspired by such a sparkly merry-go-round of a show. The fans have sent me so many beautiful, supportive messages about my brother, it’s all helped me reinvent Christmas, so for the first time in years, the house will feel celebratory like it used to.”
And Shirley plans to pay tribute to David on December 25.
She explained: “There will be a place at the table for David, a photo of him and Mary by the tree, and I’ll buy a massive box of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk for him. It’s taken a long time, but I’ve finally understood that life goes on and that we must make the most of every second.”
Meanwhile, the Queen of Latin – who was previously married to Sammy Stopford and Corky Ballas, the father of her son Mark – admitted landing her job on ‘Strictly’ meant a lot to her.
She said: “[It] really boosted my confidence. People might not realise I needed that boost but, as an older woman in my industry, getting that job meant so much.”

Gemma Arterton’s career experiment

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Arterton sees her movies as an “experiment”.
The ‘Escape’ actress views her career as a “creative adventure” and she’s always on the lookout for “complex” characters to portray in order to see how far she can push herself.
She said: “It is all about the complexities of a character.
“Every time I do a project now, it’s a creative adventure, an experiment in seeing what I can do.”
Though Gemma does a lot of research for her roles, she knows ultimately her performance is down to something inside of her.
She explained in a recent interview: “I can have all that technical information in my brain and yet in the end it’s going to be something that comes through me.”
The 32-year-old actress has served as a producer on her last three movies and is keen to move into directing, and she loves being a supporter of ERA (Equal Representation for Actresses).
She said: “It’s what we are all striving for: making great parts for women and giving women directors and writers more voice.”
Gemma recently revealed that she felt “inspired” by her late grandmother, Helen, who took her own life eight years ago after feeling “suffocated” by domestic life, wile making ‘The Escape’.
She said: “My mother would be on set with me and say, ‘You know this is your ­grandmother’s story.’ But it’s a universal story about a woman who’s fighting to breathe while being choked and escaping from her happy life.
“It’s a fragile subject and very personal to me. There’s so much of me in it, it really came from inside me and then shooting in Gravesend, it’s like a mirror of what my life could have been had I never left maybe?”

John Malkovich axed as Santa

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — John Malkovich was axed from playing Santa Claus.
The 65-year-old actor was cast as Father Christmas in an animated movie but his attachment to the unnamed project was short lived because he got fired as people couldn’t imagine him as the festive figure.
He admitted: “I actually played Santa once. It was a voice for an animated film. I got fired. I don’t think people bought me as Santa.”
In 1999, John famously appeared in ‘Being John Malkovich’ – in which a couple find a portal into the mind of the actor – and though he was very impressed by Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze’s idea, he was initially concerned that it would spark a “sea change” that would bring more attention to his personal life.
He told the Sunday Times Culture magazine: “Before I did that film was the only time I thought, ‘Listen, I have a pretty good life. I do my plays, my little movies, I go and do this or that, get my picture taken, but people pretty much leave me alone and always have.’
“I realised that film could be a kind of sea change. It was a worry. Because it was obvious that Charlie Kaufman is such a gifted and profound writer, pretty close to a visionary, and Spike as well, that people might really think that’s my life. It’s nothing to do with my life.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Dangerous Liaisons’ actor – who has two children, Amandine and Loewy, with partner Nicoletta Peyran – admitted his kids have never been big fans of his work and hated him reading bedtime stories when they were younger.
He said: “Their mother read them ‘The Cat in the Hat’, ‘The Stinky Cheese Man’, ‘Goodnight Moon’, all that.
“English is her fourth language — I’m supposedly a professional actor. But they would just go, ‘No!’ It’s so funny, because they really hated it. They liked to see me play the guitar. But don’t let him… act.”

Cardi B insists she’s not back with Offset and just wanted sex

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Cardi B insists she and Offset are not back together after their Puerto Rico getaway and that she simply needed sex.
The ‘Money’ rapper took to her Instagram Live over the weekend to explain that her recent trip with her estranged Migos star husband – with whom she has five-month-old daughter Kulture – was not them rekindling their relationship romantically and that she simply needed to fulfil her sexual urges.
She told her followers: “I just had to get f*****, that’s all.
“B***h feels baptised. “I came back to f****** life, b***h.”
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker had previously taken to the social media app to admit she was missing sex with her other half, saying: “I Miss the D.”
Cardi’s claim she isn’t reuniting properly with Offset comes after he hinted he’ll “change his ways” following their getaway.
The former couple split up a few weeks ago, and since then the ‘Walk It Talk It’ hitmaker has been determined to win back the 26-year-old star, even
turning up at one of her concerts to beg for her forgiveness.
Cardi seemed adamant that they wouldn’t get back together, before the pair were spotted enjoying some sun on the back of a jet ski in the Caribbean island this weekend.
Shortly after the holiday, Offset took to Instagram to share a picture of himself from his 27th birthday – in which he wore a $11,000,
custom-made Laurel Dewitt Swarovski crystal ski mask and matching jacket – and quoted lyrics from the late Michael Jackson’s hit ‘Man in
the Mirror’.
He wrote: “I M S E A R C H I N G F O R T H E
“M A N I N T H E M I R R O R
“I M T E L L I N G H I M T O
“C H A N G E H I S W A Y S (sic)”
Though it’s unknown whether Offset’s lyrical reference had anything to do with his ongoing marital problems.

Mel B excited about reunion shows

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Mel B has promised the Spice Girls will “blow the fans away” on their reunion tour.
The 43-year-old singer and her bandmates Mel C, Emma Bunton and Geri Horner are busy preparing for their upcoming stadium jaunt and she can’t wait for the shows to start.
She said: “We’re getting ready to rehearse and having non-stop meetings about how we’re going to do the show.
“We want to blow the fans away to thank them for their loyalty and support
“I actually cannot wait to get into my leopardprint catsuits and rip up the stage. Everyone get ready.”
Though Victoria Beckham opted out of being involved in the tour, Mel is still convinced the fashion designer will join them on stage at at least one of the gigs.
She told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “I still think Victoria may actually join us at some point, but that’s just me. I’m the eternal optimist.
“I’m very respectful of the fact she is incredibly busy with her fashion empire and it’s not the right time for her, but I have a sneaking suspicion she will see the fun we’re having and – well, maybe I shouldn’t say any more.”
Mel’s youngest daughters, Angel, 11, and seven-year-old Madison are particularly excited for the tour because, unlike their older sister Phoenix, 19, they aren’t old enough to have seen the ‘Viva Forever’ hitmakers in action before.
Angel – whose dad is actor Eddie Murphy – said: “Me and Madison can’t wait to see her on stage.
“Last time they did a tour, it was the year I was born and now I’m going to be able to actually see her singing and dancing. It’s going to be unbelievable.”
Madison – Mel’s daughter from her second marriage to Stephen Belafonte – added: “I just have one word to say about Mommy’s tour and that is, ‘Yay!’.”

Ozzy Osbourne not quitting touring

OHMYGOSSIP — Ozzy Osbourne insists he isn’t giving up touring.
The 69-year-old rocker claims people have mistakenly assumed he’s quitting live performance because of the name of his “farewell” concert series, ‘No More Tours 2’, and reassured his fans he’s simply planning to reduce his schedule.
He told the Pasadena Star-News newspaper: “People have gotten that all wrong. The tour should have been the Ozzy Osbourne ‘Slowing Down Tour’.
“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.”
And the ‘Paranoid’ hitmaker vowed to keep performing live for as long as he still has fans.
He added: “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.”
Meanwhile, the former Black Sabbath frontman recently revealed he has given up cigarettes, drugs and alcohol and is amazed by his old wild ways.
He said: “I don’t drink alcohol anymore…I don’t smoke tobacco. I don’t use drugs…I’m doing good right now.
“I now think, ‘How did I think going into a bar and getting smashed and doing all that cocaine was fun?’ ”

Dominic West: Ruth Wilson was ‘keen to get out’ of The Affair

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Dominic West says Ruth Wilson was “keen to get out” of ‘The Affair’, after rumours she quit due to pay disparity.
The 49-year-old actor has denied claims Ruth exited the Golden Globe Award winning series after three years because she got paid less than her co-star.
Asked if he can explain why she left, he said: “I don’t think I can, actually. No … Oh God, no, it’s nothing to do with [pay], no. No, no, no. No, it wasn’t that, no. I think it’s nothing particularly big. I mean, she saw it as a three-year arc, really. The problem with episodic telly is very few shows can sustain it beyond three, so she was keen to get out.”
Dominic plays Noah Solloway in the American television drama series and is hoping his character is a bit less of a “d**k” in series four and onwards.
He added to The Sunday Times magazine: “I said, ‘Look, I think Noah’s been through an unbelievable amount, and I think he’s got wise in some way.’ She agreed, and in season four there’s a certain wisdom to him, at least. Hopefully.”
Meanwhile, Ruth previously revealed she got paid less than Dominic when the pair signed up to star in acclaimed drama series ‘The Affair’.
Claiming she knows with some certainty that Cooper, 48, received a higher salary than her, she shared: “I definitely get less money than a male in my situation would. Certainly when I signed up to that project, I would have got paid less.”
Wilson scooped the Golden Globe for Best Actress – Television Series Drama in 2015 for her portrayal of Alison Lockhart, but despite her awards success, Wilson did not get a pay rise from bosses on the programme – which also scooped the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama at the 2015 ceremony.
She said: “Even after a Golden Globe I’m not going to be on parity. I don’t know what the figure is, but I’m sure he does … I don’t want more money, I just want equal money. Which means men have to take less.”
