Malin Akerman floating after wedding

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Malin Akerman is still “floating” after marrying Jack Donnelly.
The ’27 Dresses’ star tied the knot with the actor earlier this month at a beachside ceremony in Tulum, Mexico and she admits she feels the “puzzle” is finally complete.
She told People magazine: “I’m still floating from the wedding. It’s great. It feels different, for sure it does. To be honest with you, it just feels like that last piece of the puzzle just clicked and it feels right.”
Earlier this year, the ‘Heartbreak Kid’ actress revealed she’d actually known Jack for several years before they began dating.
She said: “[Jack] is actually my youngest sister’s boyfriend’s friend from drama school in England. I have known him for the past four years but didn’t see him … Then all of a sudden he came back from England like a year-and-a-half ago, and I went, ‘Wow, have you always been this cute?'”
But what really sealed the deal for her is how good he was with her five-year-old son Sebastian, who she has with ex-husband Roberto Zincone.
She added: “He was brilliant with my son and that was it, and my heart melted. You try to explain to a 4-and-a-half-year-old that you’re getting married and what an engagement is, and he jumped up on the couch and went, ‘Yay, we’re getting married!'”
Malin previously admitted her divorce from Zincone was “jarring at first”.
She explained: “It was jarring at first. It takes a minute to move through the emotions. But there is a beautiful thing about relationships where you grow each other to a point where you can’t grow each other any more.”

Lauren Jauregui is told she’s too intense

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Jauregui gets told she is too “intense” at times.
The ‘Work From Home’ singer is very “aware and conscious” about the world and won’t be shy about sharing her own opinions, but says that leads to some people thinking she is too intense.
Speaking about being told she’s too intense, she shared: “Oh, yeah. That definitely happens a lot but I don’t gravitate toward those people. If you’re not aware and conscious, or don’t care about being aware and conscious, that’s not my personal cup of tea as far as someone to hang out with. I don’t even like going to the club, and that’s where those people usually hang out. I can’t be friends with someone or engage with someone intimately that doesn’t understand or doesn’t care about everyone’s right to life. That’s just not in my capacity anymore. I’ve grown too far beyond that.”
And the 22-year-old singer feels she has a “huge role in shaping people’s energies and thoughts” as she is famous.
She told Billboard: “I had always since I was very little contemplated the world and the systems at play. Artists have a huge role in shaping people’s energies and thoughts – that’s why I gravitated toward being one.”
Meanwhile, Lauren previously revealed how she thinks it is “such an incredible time to be a woman in music” and praised them for breaking down barriers and smashing ceilings.
She said: “It’s such an incredible time to be a woman in music. I think there are a lot of barriers that are being broken and a lot of ceilings that are being smashed by some incredible women that I have the honour of honouring tonight.”

Jada Pinkett Smith was ‘extremely suicidal’ early on in her career

OHMYGOSSIP — Jada Pinkett Smith felt “extremely suicidal” at the beginning of her career.
The ‘Girls Trip’ star has opened up about the “nervous breakdown” she went through when she moved to Los Angeles to become an actress, and how “success” made it “worse”.
During Monday’s episode of Jada’s Facebook Watch series, ‘Red Table Talk’, she recalled: “I had gotten to LA and gotten a certain amount of success and realised that that wasn’t the answer.
“[The success] wasn’t what was going to make everything okay. [It] actually made this worse.
“I was extremely suicidal, I had a complete emotional collapse.”
The ‘Nutty Professor’ star – who was joined by her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones and her 18-year-old daughter Willow Smith on the episode – admits that she didn’t really understand what she was going through at the time as her emotions were “utterly out of control”.
She continued:”It’s like when you just don’t have control over emotions, your thoughts, you feel completely and utterly out of control.
“I don’t even think at that particular time I understood what I was going through.
“Now I know that it was what people would consider a nervous breakdown.”
Jada recently spoke of her battle with severe depression “for years”.
The 47-year-old actress – who also has son Jaden, 20, with husband Will Smith – confessed that waking up used to be the “worst part” of her day.
She shared: “I was severely depressed, severely. And that was something that I battled with for years. Waking up in the morning was like the worst part of the day.”
Jada revealed that each and every day used to feel like an enormous struggle for her.
She said: “By the time the evening time came I was at least like, ‘OK, I’m good’. But then you go to sleep again and then you gotta … you gotta restart.”

Stephanie Pratt teases ‘nightmare’ The Hills reboot

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Pratt is “scared for everyone” on ‘The Hills: New Beginnings’.
The 32-year-old star of the reboot of the popular MTV reality series , which will air next year, has teased that there is plenty of drama in store for fans and that she is quite worried about some of the “life-changing stuff” that happens, especially as some of the cast have families now.
She told Us Weekly: “It was really fun at first, and now it’s like a nightmare.
“You know, the stakes are a lot higher.
“We’ve got couples who are married with kids. It’s not kind of just like, ‘Oh, you cheated at the bar.’
“This is way more life-changing kind of stuff.
“I’m scared for everyone. And for myself. It’s going to be gnarly.”
Stephanie will be joined by brother Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag, Mischa Barton, Audrina Partridge, Whitney Port and Brody Jenner on the reboot.
Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson’s son Bradley Lee was also reported to have joined the show.
An insider said of the 22-year-old offspring of the Motley Crue drummer and the ‘Baywatch’ actress joining the line-up: “While there has been no official confirmation, Brandon is in final negotiations for a role on the new reboot of ‘The Hills’.
“The world really doesn’t know Brandon. The public is unaware of what a smart, funny, caring and charismatic guy he is.”
Brandon was recently in the headlines after he knocked out his father in March in a fight, but he claimed he’d acted in self defence because his dad was supposedly drunk.
Whilst Brandon was not charged over the incident, they continued to be at loggerheads.
However, they recently seemed to have buried the hatchet and put their differences to one side, as Tommy shared a snap on Instagram of Brandon and himself sharing a warm embrace.
The ‘Kickstart My Heart’ hitmaker – who also has 20-year-old son Dylan with Pamela – captioned the snap: “I love you son @brandonThomasLee (sic)”
According to the source, neither Tommy or Pamela will be involved with the show.
They added: “Pamela hasn’t been asked to appear on the show yet, but there is nothing she wouldn’t do to support her son’s career.”

Matty Healy teases week-long The 1975 residency-style shows

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Matty Healy has teased a week-long residency paying homage to each era of The 1975.
The ‘Chocolate’ hitmaker took to Twitter to share his idea to perform music from the band’s albums – including their latest release, ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’ – and their early EPs at a small venue in the UK, with the same production they had on each supporting tour for the records.
He tweeted: “I REALLY wanna rent out a venue for a week at end of campaign and do:
1st night : Ep’s
2nd: The 1975
3rd: ILIWYS
4th: ABIIOR
5th: NOACF
6th: GREATEST HITS LOLL
All with the same production and lighting of each era etc (sic)”
After the idea went down a treat with fans, Matty said the shows will “officially” be happening.
Retweeting his own tweet, he added: “Ok due to reaction – this is now officially happening (sic)”
Meanwhile, the 29-year-old frontman recently came under fire for hitting out at hip hop and “Soundcloud rap”, while he was quoted as saying the same kind of sexism “doesn’t happen in rock and roll anymore”.
However, he later clarified his comments and admitted there is “rampant misogyny” within rock music.
He tweeted: “Just to clarify I said that misogyny wasn’t ALLOWED in rock and roll now days in a way it is in hip hop – not that it doesn’t exist, that’s maybe a misquote as I’m aware of the misogyny in rocknroll.
“I would never deny the RAMPANT misogyny that exists in Rock n Roll. It’s everywhere and has been a weirdly accepted part of it since it’s inception.
“BUT now looking at what I said – I was simplifying a complex issue without the right amount of education on the subject. (sic)”
The ‘Sex’ singer defended his ignorance while pointed out he does “actively” work to “support women” but admitted he is still uninformed in some areas.
He continued: “Think cos I’m so actively trying to support women (not a brag but with the record label etc) I kinda forget that im not very educated on feminism and misogyny and I cant just ‘figure stuff out’ in public and end up trivialising the complexities of such enormous, experienced issues.
“So basically, I’m sorry for saying that as I was wrong. And thanks for pointing out cos if I’m gonna do this I have to keep learning…
“Just to clarify I’m not apologising for saying ‘rock music is void of misogyny’. I didn’t say that. Any body who says that is not only thick as f**k they most probably don’t have physical eyes. It’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. (sic)”

Stevie Nicks wants to inspire women

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Stevie Nicks hopes she can pave the way for more women to join her in becoming a two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
The Fleetwood Mac singer is set to be handed the honour for a second time at the ceremony in Brooklyn in March and she hopes it will inspire “all the little rock and roll stars” to follow their dreams.
She said: “My biggest hope is that I have opened the door due to the fact that there’s 22 men who have gone in twice and zero women. I think that’s really a little off balance. That’s what I’m hoping, that what’s happened here to me will give all the little rock and roll stars that are just waiting out there a little hope that they can also do what I do. It took a long time for this to happen but maybe because of this, it won’t take so long for all the other incredibly talented women that I know and that I respect and that I listen to and that I’m friends with.”
Stevie – who was inducted with her band in 1998 – previously explained what it meant for her to make history.
She said: “I have a lot to say about this but I will save those words for later. For now I will just say, I have been in a band since 1968. To be recognised for my solo work makes me take a deep breath and smile. It’s a glorious feeling.”

Adam Thomas ‘made a fortune’ working in property over summer

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Thomas claims he “made a fortune” working for a property company in between acting roles.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ star – who has 15-month-old Teddy and daughter Elsie-Rose with wife Caroline – previously revealed he turned to the daytime job to support his family, and he’s now admitted it worked wonders on his “sanity” on top of increasing his bank balance.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’ve made a fortune. I’m in between jobs.
“I was just at home, waiting for a phone call to do an audition – I needed something to tick me over.
“I’ve got a family to support at the end of the day, so I needed some sort of income.
“It’s great for my own sanity to get out there and start working.”
Previously revealing his role as a property executive, he wrote on Instagram: “yes I am working in the property industry in between jobs because as a jobbing actor you can be out of work… that’s just the nature of the business…I haven’t nor will I ever turn my back on acting …but I have a family to support and will carry on doing so…whether it be acting or otherwise . (sic)”
Meanwhile, the former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ star will next be seen starring alongside his 2016 camp mate Larry Lamb in the drama ‘Pitching In’, which he admits was more like a “holiday”.
He said: “We spent six weeks filming on a campsite. It was like a holiday.
“It was nice to be back in front of the camera, doing what I love.”
Adam previously revealed it was the former ‘EastEnders’ star who advised him to quit his role as Adam Barton on the ITV soap.
He said: “I remember him giving me some advice, saying, ‘You should just get out there, and try other things and take the jump.’
“And the first meeting I had with my boss when I get back to work was, ‘Listen, I’m done now. I’ve made up my mind.’
“And if I hadn’t done it then, then I wouldn’t have done it.”

Stacey Dooley never thought she’d win Strictly Come Dancing

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Stacey Dooley never thought she’d win ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 31-year-old television presenter and her professional dance partner Kevin Clifton triumphed on the BBC One latin and ballroom show over the weekend but she admits she never believed she could take first place because of her lower scores.
She said: “I wasn’t really entertaining the thought of winning. I didn’t think it was possible. It just shows that people at home are enjoying what we’re trying to do. You have to put the extra hours in if you’re not up to scratch with everyone else.”
Whilst Kevin added to The Sun newspaper: “We didn’t think we had a chance. After a slightly tough year I’ve had such a good time. I’ve loved Strictly. Stace has been a joy from day one.”
And when the duo triumphed on the show, Stacey was full of praise for Kevin for his work in teaching her to dance from scratch.
She said: “Kev, listen. You know how highly I think of you. I think you’re the biggest gem. It’s absolutely no kind of coincidence that he’s been in the final as many times as he has. You’re patient, talented, your choreography is second to none. I’ve had the most incredible time. And you know what, it’s daunting doing something you haven’t done before. You feel silly, you feel like a bit of an idiot. But Kevin walks you through. And you so deserve this.”
Whilst Kevin added: “Thank you so much. Not just for being so amazing and dancing so well and getting this, but just for being the most wonderful person to work with, to spend every day in training with. You’ve worked so hard, and always with a massive smile on your face. You’re just so lovely, and I think the absolute world of you, thank you so much.”

Brie Larson’s tough training

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Brie Larson did “nine months” of training for ‘Captain Marvel’.
The 29-year-old actress trained for nearly a year for her role as the superhero including three months of stunt training for two hours every day.
She told Collider: “I did nine months of just training, training, and three months of stunt training with the stunt team where we spent two hours every day, five days a week. It wasn’t until we started shooting and I started doing all my own wirework, stunts and flips and stuff that people were like, ‘You know, nobody… now we’ll tell you; nobody actually does this.’ I was like, ‘Huh.’ But I love it. It definitely makes things more complicated in certain ways because I can be taking a lot more naps than I am.”
‘Captain Marvel’ is set for release in March 2019, and producer Nate Moore recently gave fans an insight into what they should expect from the film, saying it won’t be like the typical origin story.
He explained: “I think there is a structure to origin films that audiences sometimes can get ahead of very quickly. So, if we do origin films, internally, we talk about how we can subvert that structure. For instance, ‘Captain Marvel’ is an origin movie in that you haven’t seen her before. But we think we’ve stumbled upon a structure there that isn’t the traditional structure of what origin movies typically are, which is you meet the character, they have a problem, they get powers at the end of the first act, and the end of the second act they learn about the powers, the third act they probably fight a villain who has a function of the same powers.”

Offset thought public apology was ‘right’ thing to do

By
Ohmygossip.com

OHMYGOSSIP — Offset insists it apologising to Cardi B during her concert was the right thing to do.
The Migos rapper left his estranged wife unimpressed on Saturday (15.12.18) when he crashed the stage during her set at Rolling Loud festival in Los Angeles along with a huge ‘Take Me Back Cardi’ sign, made out of white and red roses, and though she rejected the gesture, the 27-year-old star stands by his actions.
He tweeted: “All of my wrongs have been made public, i figure It’s only right that my apologies are made public too. A n***a was just trying …..thank god I ain’t got no balloons sheeesh (sic)”
The ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker looked unimpressed when her estranged husband – the father of her daughter Kulture, five months – took to the stage, to a chorus of cheers and boos from the audience, and begged her to forgive him and take him back.
He said: “I just wanna tell you I’m sorry. In person, in front of the world. Whatever I gotta do to show you I love you.”
Offset tried to take her hand but Cardi did not allow it and ushered him off the stage and had his flowers removed before she continued her performance.
The very public gesture came a day after Offset celebrated his 27th birthday and proclaimed his only wish for his special day was to reunite with his wife.
He said in a video shared to Instagram: “I only got one birthday wish and that’s to get my wife back, Cardi.
“We’re going through a lot of things right now, a lot of things in the media. I want to apologise to you Cardi. I embarrassed you. I made you go crazy.
“I was partaking in activity that I shouldn’t have been partaking in. You know what I’m saying? For breaking your heart, for breaking our promise, for breaking God’s promise and being a selfish, messed up husband.
“I’m trying to be a better person. I want to get this off my shoulders. I want to get this off my back. I apologise to you Cardi. I love you. Kulture, I want to spend Christmas with you.”
The ‘MotorSport’ hitmaker – who has been accused of trying to arrange a threesome with two other women – insisted he “didn’t f**k that girl” but still sought forgiveness from his spouse.
He said: “I want to be able to spend the rest of my life with you. I’m sorry.
“I am sorry for what I have done to you. I didn’t f**k that girl, but I was entertaining her, you know what I’m saying? I apologise, and I love you, and I hope you forgive me. My birthday wish is just to have you back.”

Katie Price will have kids for Christmas

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Peter Andre has confirmed Katie Price will have their children for Christmas.
The ‘Mysterious Girl’ hitmaker has had 13-year-old Junior and Princess, 11, living with him, wife Emily and their kids Amelia, four, and Theo, two, over the last year while his ex-wife got through some turbulent times in her personal life, but he’s told fans the pair will be spending December 25 with their mother, because it’s her turn to celebrate with them this year.
He tweeted: “I never normally respond to anything. But Of course the children (j and p ) will be with their mum for Christmas. This was always the case. And so they should. She is their mum. Have a good day :)))”
The news will no doubt delight Katie’s oldest son, 16-year-old Harvey, as she recently revealed he’s lonely now Junior and Princess are living with Peter and her younger kids, Jett, five, and four-year-old Bunny are with their father Kieran Hayler.
She said on her reality show, ‘My Crazy Life’: “Harvey’s been really lonely in the house without the other kids.”
Peter, 45, recently admitted he’d been trying to “protect” his kids from stories about their mother.
Asked about Junior and Princess moving in with him, he said: “We’ve had an amazing summer but I’m afraid I can’t really talk about it…
“I’m dealing with everything that’s going on at the moment and my kids are my priority, but I think it’s very important to deal with these things privately and I’m doing so.
“Making sure my kids are protected and away from any negativity is my main priority.
“I just want them to focus on school and weekends and having fun.”
And with 40-year-old Katie attracting attention for her partying, Peter is doing his best to keep the children distracted, though he is always as “honest” as possible when they ask him questions.
He added: “When any of the kids ask me questions, if it’s anything that’s a concern, I try to be as honest as I can, but I do try and find a way to divert it. I just want to keep the kids protected…
“I allow the kids to go on the internet to play their games and watch slime videos! I encourage them to focus on the things they like.
“You can’t avoid the news all the time but we do our best.
“They ask questions sometimes about certain things but I try and divert their focus onto something else and keep them focused on being kids.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross can’t wait to go on tour as a family.
The couple are excited about bringing their three-year-old daughter Jagger Snow on the road with them next month and joked she is the “best background dancer ever”.
She said: “We’ve been in rehearsal, actually, [and] Jagger was at our rehearsal dancing it up! So we had the best background dancer ever today!”
Whilst Ross added to Entertainment Tonight: “We just left rehearsal today, [and] we’ve got some rehearsals to do, but we’re excited.”
And Ashlee is no doubt grateful they can all go on tour together as she previously confessed she wishes she could spend more quality time with her family.
She said: “There’s always people over. It’s like so loud last night. I couldn’t sleep. You know what’s important to me. You know getting into this and working again, it’s important to me that we’re with our kids, that we get the rest that we need. For me feeling like we have a balance is super important. And right now, I feel a little off balance. I feel like we can just be family and not have so many people around us.”
The ‘Pieces Of Me’ hitmaker admits she is finding it hard being a “working mom.”
She explained: “Music is a career by itself, having a clothing line is a career by itself, having a shoe line is a career by itself, being a mom is a career by itself. It’s definitely overwhelming.”
And giving her advice, her mother Tina replied: “I think if you’re doing what you love and your passion shows through, that’s all that matters. The key to it is that you find what works for you and your family and then you’ll find that success.”

Rose Byrne: Parenting is ‘overwhelming’

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Rose Byrne finds being a parent “so overwhelming”.
The 39-year-old actress – who has Rocco, two, and Rafa, 13 months, with her husband Bobby Cannavale – has admitted raising kids is “particularly challenging”, and explained that no advice from others can really “prepare” someone from the responsibility.
Speaking to TV WEEK, she said: “[Parenthood] doesn’t come with a manual and no matter how many friends tell you stuff nothing can really prepare you for it.”
Her comments come after she hit out at the Internet for placing “so much aspiration around motherhood”, as she thinks it forces people to believe they have to have children in order to succeed.
She recently said: “There is so much aspiration around motherhood and fatherhood and families, particularly around social media.”
Rose stars in new movie ‘Instant Families’ with Mark Wahlberg in which she shows the downside of fostering three children, and she previously insisted the film is important because it shows people that it’s “okay” to feel “uncomfortable”.
She explained: “Presenting these sorts of ideas is what life is like in reality. I felt so exposed. Then I realised that’s what it’s supposed to feel like, I am supposed to feel uncomfortable and that’s OK.”
The star admitted her home has become more “hectic” with a new addition to the family, and said it’s Rafa who causes the most fights between the two siblings, as she and Bobby are always telling the tot to “take it easy”.
She added: “It’s pretty hectic. It’s funny, the little guy is a lot more aggressive than the big guy. He just goes in for the tackle and loves to pin him down. [Rocco is very patient], he’s kind of like ‘Oh get away from me’. And we’re like ‘Rafa take it easy! Take it easy!’ ”

Lucy Fallon’s boyfriend won’t propose ‘for a while’

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Lucy Fallon’s boyfriend is thinking about buying an engagement ring – but he won’t pop the question for “a while”.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress’ significant other Tom Leech admits her cobbles co-stars are always asking him when he is going to get down on one knee, and while he isn’t planning to do so just yet, 23-year-old Lucy joked they are already “like an old married couple”.
Tom said: “I do get asked about when I’m planning to propose a lot when we’re out with Lucy’s co-stars.
“After a few drinks, it’s only a matter of time before one of them sidles up to me and says: ‘So…?’ and points at their ring finger with raised eyebrows.
“I need to get a ring first, though, and depending on what Lucy is expecting, that might be a while yet!”
Lucy added: “We’re like an old married couple already.”
Despite this, the pair are spending Christmas Day (25.12.18) apart from each other to be with their own families.
She said: “We’re both really close to our families so we don’t want to give up our own family Christmases until we absolutely have to, which is when we have kids I guess.”
While Lucy doesn’t appear to be planning to have children just yet, her ‘Corrie’ co-star Kym Marsh is to become a grandmother after recently revealing her daughter Emilie Cunliffe is expecting her first child.
And Lucy believes the 42-year-old Kym will be the “most glamorous granny”.
She added to OK! magazine: “I’m so excited, although Kym had let slip to me before the news was officially announced.
“Kym is going to be the most glamorous granny. I know her daughter Emilie as well and she’ll be an amazing mum.”

EastEnders script writer doesn’t exist

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — One of EastEnders’ longest-serving script writers isn’t a real person.
The BBC One soap’s former executive producer Matthew Robinson has revealed Julia Honour, who has penned numerous scripts since 1998, is in fact a pseudonym used when one of the show’s chief scribes has to rewrite a “dreadfully poor” script.
He wrote: “‘Julia Honour’ was the authorship pseudonym appended to a script when a member of the editorial staff had to take over and completely rewrite a dreadfully poor – and thus unsaveable – early draft from a commissioned writer.
“The practice had started just before I joined and has, I believe (though I can’t swear to it) continued to this day.
“So far as I can tell, the lovely Julia has penned (saved) 54 scripts since early 1998. (sic)”
During his exec producer reign on the soap – which stars the likes of Steve McFadden as Phil Mitchell – Matthew came face-to-face with the other script writers before requesting a meeting with Julia only to find out she wasn’t actually real.
Writing on his blog Walford Web, he added: “The script editors I’d inherited smirked conspiratorially whenever I asked how soon I’d be exchanging pleasantries with this Spectral Scribbler. “Don’t ask.” they’d say. “You don’t want to know.”
“With many other things on my mind, I didn’t pursue it at first, particularly as the lovely Julia’s scripts weren’t half bad. In fact, they were pretty damned good. Certainly in the top 20% as far competence went.
“Then I noticed something odd. Julia Honour’s scripts always started with Draft 3 – Drafts 1 and 2 were always missing. (In those days, EE scripts went to up six drafts, all of which would arrive in an almost continuous flow of mind-numbing regularity, stacking up on a sturdy set of shelves just inside my office door.)
“Not being able to bear the suspense after a month or so, I cornered the Senior Editor and demanded she arrange a meeting for me with Ms Honour. Eyes to the floor, she admitted the truth. (sic)”
The name Julia Honour is thought to be a tribute to the show’s co-creator Julia Smith.

Emily Atack told by stranger to stop eating a burger

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Atack was left shocked when a stranger advised her stop eating a burger and then told her: “Starvation suits you.”
The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ star shed half a stone during her time on the Australian jungle-based show after living on a diet of mainly rice and beans, and she was surprised to be heckled in a restaurant afterwards while treating herself to a nice meal.
She wrote on Twitter: “Some bloke said to me in a restaurant whilst I was eating my dinner, ‘No, stop. Starvation suits you.’ What in the ….
“I would throw my burg at you but that would be a massive waste, love. (sic)”
The ‘Inbetweeners’ star – who plays Charlotte ‘Big Jugs’ Hinchcliffe in the sitcom – wants people to like her for her “personality and brain” rather than her looks.
She said: “My whole life I’ve been judged for how I look.
