OHMYGOSSIP — Gigi Hadid is “still very single”, despite her ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik’s recent public confession of love.
The former One Direction star took to Twitter this month to tell Gigi – whom he began dating in 2015, and whom he has been on and off with since last year – he loves her, but according to sources the tweet wasn’t an indication they’ve rekindled their romance, as it has now been claimed Gigi still doesn’t think he’s “compatible” with her.
A source told Us Weekly magazine: “Gigi and Zayn still talk. She still has feelings for him, of course, but he has major issues and she knows they aren’t compatible. She’s still very single.”
Gigi, 23, and Zayn, 26, first split up in March last year before reconciling in April, and were believed to have split once again in January.
Sources at the time claimed the blonde beauty “tried hard to make it work,” but it was reported the ‘Pillowtalk’ hitmaker had “a lot of his own issues that she couldn’t help him get through.”
Gigi was also believed to have “cut herself off from all her friends every time they were together. She focused all her time and energy on him, but it just got to be too much.”
Following Zayn’s public love confession to Gigi, he later tweeted an apology, though he didn’t specify what he was apologising for, and he took down the tweet just hours after posting it.
It read: “I’d like apologize for basically being a s**t person, (sic)”
After his words sparked concern from his fans, he insisted he is doing well, but “could be happier”.
He added in another tweet: “Currently happy, could be happier. Thanks for all the love and thoughts yesterday just had a vent ha x (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jussie Smollett is being ordered to pay $130,000 to the City of Chicago in relation to allegations that he staged a hate crime on himself.
The ‘Empire’ actor was told earlier this week he wouldn’t be charged over allegations he orchestrated a racist and homophobic attack on himself in January, but his battle is far from over as the City of Chicago has now demanded he hand over the whopping sum.
According to TMZ, the Chicago Corporation Counsel – who handles civil claims for the City – have sent a letter to Jussie demanding he pay the $130,000, to compensate for the overtime pay for police who investigated his case.
In the letter, the counsel wrote: “Over two dozen detectives and police officers participated in the investigation, ultimately spending weeks investigating your false claims.
“The Chicago police investigation revealed that you knowingly filed a false police report and had in fact orchestrated your own attack.”
The City is demanding “immediate payment” within seven days, and if the 36-year-old actor doesn’t hand over the cash, the Corporation Counsel vows to “prosecute you for making a false statement under the Municipal Code of Chicago.”
The prosecution would be different from the criminal case that was recently dismissed, and whilst Jussie wouldn’t be threatened with jail time, the threat carries a fine of $500. However, the City could file for three times the actual damages, meaning Jussie would then owe $390,000.
Although Jussie’s criminal case was dismissed, local police officials and Mayor Rahm Emanuel have slammed the decision, causing the actor’s legal team to hit back over the release of “one-sided evidence” against their client in the wake of the case dismissal.
Attorney Patricia Brown Holmes said in a statement: “We are disappointed the local authorities have continued their campaign against Jussie Smollett after the charges against him have been dropped.
“The facts are clear. The Assistant State’s Attorney appeared in court and dismissed the charges. Mr. Smollett forfeited his bond. The case is closed. No public official has the right to violate Mr. Smollett’s due process rights.

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber is “ready to be a dad”.
The 25-year-old singer is currently seeking treatment for depression and spoke recently about wanting to “repair” some of his “deep rooted issues”, but sources have now said in the wake of his transformation he’s now ready to start planning a family with his wife Hailey Bieber, whom he married last year.
A source said: “Right now, he’s ready to be a dad. That’s what he wants to be. He knows that he has to get things figured out so that he can be the dad he wants to be. But that’s his focus. Being a dad is his dream right now.”
The ‘Sorry’ hitmaker has reportedly made “amazing progress” since he started seeking professional help for his mental health last month, and sources say his next step is working on being a “great husband” as well as a “fantastic dad” in the future.
Speaking to People magazine, the insider added: “If you were to talk to Justin six months ago, and talk to him now, you’d see how much he has changed. He’s growing so much, he’s going from being a boy to being a man. What he wants is to be a man of integrity, a great husband, a fantastic dad, and a spiritual person. He’s making amazing progress.”
Earlier this week, Justin posted on Instagram to let his fans know where he is mentally, and said he would be returning to music once he’s finished getting his personal life in order.
He wrote: “So I read a lot of messages saying you want an album .. I’ve toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s, I realised and as you guys probably saw I was unhappy last tour and I don’t deserve that and you don’t deserve that, you pay money to come and have a lively energetic fun light concert and I was unable emotionally to give you that near the end of the tour. I have been looking, seeking, trial and error as most of us do, I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don’t fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be. Music is very important to me but Nothing comes before my family and my health.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicolas Cage has filed for an annulment of his marriage, just four days after tying the knot.
The ‘Con Air’ actor – who was previously wed to Alice Kim, Lisa Marie Presley and Patricia Arquette – made a court application for a license in Clark County, Nevada, on Saturday (23.03.19) and reportedly tied the knot with his partner Erika Koike on the same day.
But it seems the marriage wasn’t to be, as TMZ has reported that on Wednesday (27.03.19), just four days after getting married, the 55-year-old actor filed new court documents asking for the union to be annulled.
Annulments are awarded when a marriage is legally void, which Nicolas is believed to be arguing based on him being intoxicated when the pair wed in Las Vegas.
However, court documents claim that if annulment is not awarded, Nicolas will pursue a full legal divorce to terminate the four-day marriage.
Nicolas – who lives in Las Vegas – has largely kept his relationship with the make-up artist out of the spotlight but they were first romantically linked in April 2018 when Erika was seen with him in Puerto Rico while Nicolas shot a movie.
Last October, Nicolas admitted he was “shocked” when he and Alice – the mother of his 13-year-old son Kal-El – split in January 2016 shortly before he started shooting his movie ‘Mandy’.
He said: “It was a shocker for me – I definitely didn’t see it coming, and those feelings had to go somewhere, so they went into the performance.”
Before marrying Alice, Nicolas – who also has son Weston, 27, with former partner Christina Fulton – was wed to Lisa Marie for several months in 2002 and Patricia from 1995 to 2001 but he doesn’t “count” their marriages as real.
He said: “I don’t really count those two marriages, I don’t think they belong on my record. The real marriage for me was the 14 years I had with Alice and the child we have together.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola McLean has confessed her vagina “doesn’t look great” after having two children.
The 37-year-old former glamour model has admitted that after “vaginally” delivering her sons – Rocky, 11, and Striker, seven, with her soccer player husband Tom Williams – her genitals are not in the same condition as before but as a proud woman she’s prepared to embrace her body as it changes.
During a panel discussion on ‘The Jeremy Vine Show’ as to whether or not a bikini wax would help encourage women to attend their smear tests, she said: “I’ve had two children vaginally, my vagina doesn’t look great but I don’t care as long as I haven’t got cancer it’s fine, I don’t care.”
The television personality praised the British business that is offering free bikini waxes to women who can prove they are going for their cervical screening, insisting it is a “great” idea if encourages more self-conscious ladies to take the test – which is a screening to look for potentially precancerous and cancerous processes in the cervix which all women are encouraged to have when they reach the age of 25.
Nicola said: “What I’m saying is if someone’s gonna think, ‘Oh god I’d like to go for a bikini wax and then that would make me be confident to go for a smear test.’ It’s great.”
The panel – which included Rebekah Vardy, the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, and journalist Carol Malone – then discussed whether having a female doctor would make women more likely to attend their appointments and the former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star admitted that although she “wouldn’t care” about the gender of her doctor she thinks women should do whatever makes them feel the most comfortable.
Nicola said: “I personally wouldn’t care I think it’s so important to go for smear tests. A male GP a male nurse is just gonna be the same as a woman but whatever you feel comfortable with. Just get it done if you want a female if you want a chaperone it takes five minutes from start to finish.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Isabella Cruise has thanked her Hollywood star dad Tom Cruise for helping her through her Church of Scientology training.
The 26 year old – who is the adopted child of high ranking Scientology member Tom and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman – has spoken out about how her training to become an auditor within the London branch of the unconventional religion was “exactly what she needed” and is the “missing piece” in her life.
An auditor is extensively trained member of the sci-fi cult who helps other members through intense self-examination sessions using an electronic device called the E-meter and encourages those being audited to share traumatic experiences either in this life or past incarnations.
In a lengthy letter posted to Tony Ortega’s blog The Underground Bunker, she writes of her training: “It turned out it was exactly what I needed. I dragged out the testing and correction, just made it through the drilling and then finally began my auditing adventure, and wow, I wasn’t prepared. This IS what I had been searching for. The missing piece. Suddenly everything began to make sense.”
Isabella – who has a brother Connor, 23, who was also adopted by Tom and Nicole – says the course has now shown her “without a doubt” that the “tech” of Scientology works and she is committing her life to the church.
She added: “The internship, for me, is what made me a Scientologist. I don’t just believe the tech works now. I know without any doubt that it does.”
Scientology was created in 1952 by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard and is based on the belief that human beings are immortal, that a person’s life experience transcends a single lifetime.
Bizarrely, Hubbard claimed that billions of extra-terrestrial beings were sent to Earth by Xenu – the dictator of the ‘Galactic Confederacy’, comprised of 26 stars and 76 planets including Earth – who gathered them around volcanoes and then destroyed the aliens with hydrogen bombs.
The aliens’ souls attached themselves to chosen humans, known as thetans, who will be one day be saved from their life of spiritual harm.
Isabella went on to praise her dad Tom, 56, and claimed she would have “drowned in her own problems” without the help of the ‘Top Gun’ star.
She wrote: “Thank you to my Dad for everything … I would have drowned in my own problems if you hadn’t been there to sup [sic] me or get me through the preliminaries. It took a whole family and an org to get me here.”

OHMYGOSSIP — George R. R. Martin has admitted there “may be changes” to the TV ending of ‘Game of Thrones’ compared with his plans for the books.
The 70-year-old author began writing his ‘A Song of Fire and Ice’ series in 1991, long before the HBO fantasy drama based on the saga began production, but he has been working on sixth book ‘The Winds of Winter’ – the follow-up to 2011’s ‘A Dance with Dragons’ – for several years, meaning the programme has now forged its own path.
While George confirmed showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have taken the “major points” of his planned ending for the saga, the upcoming eighth season will still have significant differences to what he has mapped out for his remaining novels.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: “I’ve been so slow with these books. The major points of the ending will be things I told them five or six years ago. But there may also be changes, and there’ll be a lot added.”
Meanwhile, though Benioff and Weiss have stayed tight-lipped on the ending to the show, they opened up about their favourite ever TV series finales.
They said in a joint email interview with the publication: “‘Breaking Bad’ stuck the landing. We always talk about the ‘Sopranos’ ending — as controversial as it may have been at the time, it’s hard to imagine a better ending for that show, or any show.”
George recently revealed he has been so busy working on the sixth book in the series that he had to turn down a cameo appearance in the final season of the TV show, which is set to air next month.
He said: “[Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss] invited me to a cameo in one of the final episodes, which I was tempted to do.
“But I didn’t think just for the sake of a cameo I could take the time to return to Belfast.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Marcia Cross wants to end the “stigma” around anal cancer.
The 57-year-old actress was diagnosed with the very rare strain of the disease 18-months-ago but was able to beat the illness after undergoing three months of intensive treatment.
Now, the former ‘Desperate Housewives’ star is now trying to end the embarrassment some survivors of the disease feel as she thinks there’s “shame” attached to certain types of cancers.
In an interview with PEOPLE, she said: “I want to help put a dent in the stigma around anal cancer, I’ve read a lot of cancer-survivor stories, and many people, women especially, were too embarrassed to say what kind of cancer they had. There is a lot of shame about it. I want that to stop.”
Marcia has now been in remission for almost a year and the ‘Everwood’ actress revealed that since becoming aware of “it’s important” she is now a “big fan of the anus”.
She said: “Surgery wasn’t recommended, which was a relief. You want to preserve sphincter muscles if possible. Having woken up to its importance, I am now a big fan of the anus!”
The star took to her Instagram account last year to reveal to her followers that she had overcome the disease is “so grateful and happy to be alive”.
She wrote: “So grateful and happy to be alive but sad that my hair fell out and is about 1 inch long now and looks cra cra. Anyone else have #hairloss due to #cancer? Talk to me. I feel you. (sic)
“I am POST cancer. All good now. Hard journey, but I am HEALTHY, happy and more present and grateful than ever. Thank you from the bottom of my ever expanding heart for all of your LOVE. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Judge Rinder has been “amazingly supportive” to his pal Louisa Clein throughout her ‘Emmerdale’ grooming storyline.
The 40-year-old actress is good friends with the TV star – whose real name is Robert Rinder – and he has been her “style advisor” for her latest plot, which has seen her alter-ego Maya Stepney (Louisa Clein) groom her 15-year-old pupil Jacob Gallagher (Joe-Warren Plant).
She said: “Oh god he loves it, and he’s been amazingly supportive.
“It’s great, because he’s working in Manchester at the moment, so when I’m not filming in Leeds, I’ll often go across there and we’ll hang out a bit.
“He gives me lots of good advice. It’s mostly about what to wear to certain events and how to wear my hair, and what I mustn’t do. He’s my total style advisor.”
Louisa has been pals with Robert for years and he even introduced her to her now-husband, barrister Jeremy Brier, and the TV judge was best man at their wedding.
She said: “He introduced me to my husband Jeremy – they’d been old buddies from university time – and he was our best man.
“Did he do a speech – he was hilarious. My husband’s speech was also hilarious, so they out-speeched each other. And then my husband was best man at his wedding, so he got his own back.”
Louisa has also seen the criminal barrister’s work first-hand, heading down to the cells to meet some of his “unsavory clients”.
She added to Whats On TV magazine: “I shadowed Rob when he was a criminal barrister. I watched lots of his trials, and went down to the cells with him to meet some of his slightly unsavoury clients. It was absolutely fascinating.”
But Louisa isn’t Robert’s only celebrity friend. He is also best mates with Benedict Cumberbatch, who ordained his marriage to Seth Cumming in 2013.
What’s more, Robert was one of the ‘Sherlock’ actor’s three best men when he married Sophie Hunter two years later.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Pope is leaving ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ after nine years to focus on her relationship with boyfriend Tony Keterman.
The 36-year-old reality star has confirmed she has quit the ITVBe show because she wants to concentrate “wholeheartedly” on her Hair Rehab extensions business and her romance with her new millionaire boyfriend.
Speaking to The Sun Online, she said: “After an amazing nine years on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ I have decided that now is the natural time for me to leave.
“I am incredibly thankful for the opportunities that the show has brought my way and have loved being part of the cast.
“On top of that, Lime [Pictures, who make the show] have become an extended family to me and I’ll be forever grateful for their guidance and support over the years.

A spokesperson for the show added: “We wish Lauren all the best as she focuses on her new relationship and growing business ventures.

OHMYGOSSIP — John Cleese has criticised Netflix after he claimed they never returned his calls after he pitched them an idea for a “special”.
The 79-year-old star took to Twitter to reveal that he previously visited the television streaming giant to pitch them an idea for a comedy special, however, Netflix never “returned” his “phone calls or emails”.
He tweeted: “In December I visited Netflix to pitch the idea of a ‘Special’. They must have hated the idea because they never got back to me, or returned any of my agent’s phone calls or emails!”
He then sarcastically added: “Recently someone showed me one of the ‘Specials’ they did commission. It was very original… (sic)”
The ‘Monty Python’ star pitched his idea to Netflix in December 2018, and went on to criticise them for commissioning a different stand-up special with an unnamed female comedian who made a series of gratuitous jokes about her vagina.
He added in other tweets: “A hugely likeable and jolly young woman did a highly original routine based on the fact that she was so ‘fat’ that she couldn’t find her own ‘pussy’. My only disappointment was that when I approached Netflix in December I had not known the sort of material they were looking for (sic)”
Cleese – who will head back out on the road on his ‘Last Time To See Me Before I Die’ international tour in May – explained that it wasn’t just Netflix who refused one of his ideas, as British broadcaster ITV also “turned down” his pitch for not being “tonally right”.
He continued: “Another idea was turned down by UK ITV as it wasn’t ‘tonally right’. Why didn’t they just say it was too intelligent… (sic)”
However, Cleese still has hope for his current ideas as many of his biggest ever comedy successes were originally “turned down” or “shunned”, including classic ‘Monty Python’ Christianity satire ‘Life of Brian’, acclaimed sitcom ‘Fawlty Towers’ and comedy movie ‘A Fish Called Wanda’.
He tweeted: “Still, I take heart from the fact that every UK and US studio passed on ‘Life of Brian’, 10 out of 11 Hollywood studios turned down ‘Fish Called Wanda’, and the man who commissioned ‘Fawlty Towers’ told me, after the first episode, that I had to ‘get it out of the hotel more’ (sic)”
Among the stand-up comedians that Netflix has chosen to commission specials for include Amy Schumer, Ray Romano, Russell Brand and Jimmy Carr.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sophie Turner found Bryan Singer “unpleasant” to work with.
The 23-year-old actress played Jean Gray for the first time in 2016’s ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ and she doesn’t have fond memories of being directed by the filmmaker – who has denied multiple accusations of sexual misconduct – on the superhero blockbuster.
Echoing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ star Rami Malek’s recent comments about the director, she said of Singer: “Our time together was, like Rami said, unpleasant.”
Sophie has recently wrapped filming as Sansa Stark in ‘Game of Thrones’ and after eight seasons on the fantasy drama, she can see parallels with life in Westeros to the realities of Hollywood.
She told Rolling Stone magazine: “There’s a lot of Sansa in me. You go into something and you think it’s going to be a huge dream, and then you figure out, ‘Oh, wait. I have to be very strategic about everything. And Harvey Weinstein is Joffrey or Ramsay. Probably worse than that. A White Walker.’ ”
Rami previously admitted he didn’t expect Singer to be fired from ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ in the middle of production but he felt it “had” to happen.
Asked about his experiences working with the director on the movie, he said: “I’ve sat here and talked about how everyone deserves a voice and anyone who wants to talk about what happened with Bryan deserves to have their voice heard.
“In my situation with Bryan, it was not pleasant, not at all. And that’s about what I can say about it at this point.
“For anyone who is seeking any solace in all of this, Bryan Singer was fired. Bryan Singer was fired, I don’t think that was something anyone saw coming but I think that had to happen and it did.”
Bryan – who still has the directing credit on the film – was replaced by Dexter Fletcher when he was sacked in December 2017 amid reports of conflict between himself and his lead actor, as well as accusations of sexual misconduct.

OHMYGOSSIP — A school book belonging to Sir Paul McCartney has sold at auction for £46,800 after two fans became embroiled in a bidding war.
The item was among a number of items previously belonging to Paul and his Beatles bandmates that were up for sale at the Omega Auctions sale in Newton-Le-Willows, St Helens, Merseyside, England, on Tuesday (26.03.19).
The book – which was used by 76-year-old McCartney during his English Literature lessons at Liverpool Institute High School for Boys and was owned by a family in Liverpool who’d had it “for as long as they can remember” – sold for nearly 10 times the estimated price by a telephone bidder in the UK.
The tome contained 22 pages of essays by the ‘Hey Jude’ songwriter when he was a teenager, including pieces about Thomas Hardy’s novel ‘The Return of the Native’ and John Milton’s acclaimed poem ‘Paradise Lost’.
Also contained within the pages of the book was a doodle of a man smoking, and some critical comments made by Macca’s teacher Alan ‘Dusty’ Durband, even though the musician’s grades were high, ranging from B- to B++.
Speaking about the unexpectedly high price the historic piece sold for, Karen Fairweather – Director of Omega Auctions – said: “The bidding went on for 15 minutes, the longest we’ve ever had. They were two people who really wanted it so drove up the price in £200 bids. There was a round of applause at the end.”
Elsewhere in the auction, a pair of John Lennon’s 12-karat gold Hibo wrap-around frames glasses fetched £9,600, but a cassette belonging to the late George Harrison known as the “Hitler tapes”, which contained unheard tracks recorded in 1978 by the guitarist, did not sell.
John – who was assassinated in New York City in 1980 at the age of 40 – started a trend for oval-shaped glassless lenses in the 60s, and they remain fashionable to this day.
The cassette included tracks by George – who died from lung cancer in 2001 at the age of 58 – titled ‘Spoken Intro George Legs Harry’ and ‘Brazil 1,2 & 3’.
The auction also saw a Cavern Club brick sell for £420 and an Abbey Road sign being snapped out for £4,000.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Simpson reportedly has “the best attitude” as she recovers from her cesarean section.
The proud parent gave birth to daughter Birdie Mae – her third child with husband Eric Johnson – on March 19, and it’s said the family have been rallying round to support the 38-year-old star after the new arrival.
An insider told PEOPLE magazine: “She had the best attitude about her recovery. She was very excited about having another baby girl.
“Her older kids were around [the hospital] a lot and doted on the baby… They can’t get enough of the baby. Everyone is very happy.”
The singer – who also has Maxwell, six, and five-year-old Ace with her man – is said to be enjoying having such a big family.
Another source added: “Jessica loves being a mom and having a big family. Even while struggling during her pregnancy, she volunteered at her kids’ school. Her life is very focused on her family and making it fun for the kids.”
Jessica confirmed her happy news earlier this month when she shared a picture of Maxwell meeting her little sister.
Jessica wrote: “We are so happy and proud to announce the birth of our perfect daughter, Birdie Mae Johnson.”
Meanwhile, although she’s happy to be a mother of three now, Jessica previously revealed she had no idea how she’d managed to get pregnant again.
She said: “I thought about [having another baby], but I didn’t really know that it could actually happen. We definitely always love to practice. We actually weren’t practicing very much that month so I don’t understand. We try [to figure it out]. This might be a miracle baby.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Hugh Jackman will wear custom tap boots from R.M. Williams for his world tour.
The 50-year-old star will be sporting the special design – hailed as a world’s first and created to combine his love for both tap dancing and boots – during his upcoming ‘The Man. The Music. The Show.’ world tour.
The prototype pair were first given to Hugh as a gift when he visited the clothing brand’s workshop in Adelaide, Australia, and he has since worked with R.M. Williams to further develop them.
In a clip showing off the boots shared on Instagram, Hugh said: “Very exciting day, here with my R.M. Williams signature boots, with brand new taps on them, testing driving these little babies before my tour. I bet Mr. Williams never thought that would happen with his boots! I love it.”
It’s been revealed the ‘Greatest Showman’ actor will wear them during a special tap routine on his tour.
Hugh – who recently confirmed he will be back on Broadway in 2020 as he takes on the lead role of Professor Harold Hill in the latest version of Meredith Wilson’s ‘The Music Man’ – previously revealed he has always felt “very natural” on stage.
He recently said: “I remember when I was about five or six doing ‘Camelot’ on stage at school and, from that moment I went on to the stage, it felt very natural to me.
“Halfway through the show they out a big crown on my head, which was too big and it slipped down and covered my entire face.
“I thought ‘Oh no this is a disaster’ but then I heard an uproarious laugh from the audience and thought ‘No, it’s all good, it’s fun’. I fell in love with it then and I’ve been that way ever since.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Shelby Tribble and Clelia Theodorou say Mike Thalassitis’ death “really hit home”.
The ‘Only Way Is Essex’ stars say they were “hit hard” by the tragic news that ‘Love Island’ star Mike had taken his own life at the age of 26 earlier this month, and admit pressures from their show have left them feeling “stressed out” and with “a lot of worries” at times.
Speaking to The Sun Online, Clelia said: “Everyone has been hit hard, even people who didn’t know Mike. It’s so horrible because it’s one of the biggest tragedies I’ve ever seen.
“He was good looking and such a lovely guy with so much to offer. It really hit home. You never know what people are going through.
“There are times when me and Shelby have been at very low points, stressed out and had a lot of worries, but no one would have been able to tell. It’s hard.”
Best pal Shelby added: “We’re really lucky because everyone at Lime Pictures and ‘TOWIE’ give us so much support and really look after us.”
Fellow ‘TOWIE’ cast member Georgia Kousoulou recently admitted the reality star’s death “really hit home” after her boyfriend Tommy Mallet’s own mental health battle.
She said: “Do you know what, mental health is a hard thing, god bless Mike and his family. That really shook me up. It really hit home for me because Tommy was in that place.
“He was in a bad way through summer, it really scared me because I wish Mike would have opened up to anyone, or even me.
“I didn’t know him but I had gone through it with Tommy and it really upset me, it’s not something I can speak loosely about.”
