Kylie Jenner shows fans how to pull off bright pink eyeshadow

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner showed her fans how she gets ready on tour.
The 21-year-old beauty mogul has detailed the products she swears by while travelling with her partner Travis Scott and their nine-month-old daughter, Stormi, on his Astroworld tour – and showed fans how to wear a bold bright pink eyeshadow look.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star begins her routine by doing her first layer of eyeshadow using the Kylie Cosmetics Bronze Palette in Topaz and Tiger Eye, and swears by the neutral palette as it’s “super easy” when the pair are travelling.
Speaking in her tutorial, she said: “It’s super easy, I always bring this on tour because it just gives me the easy fast looks because we’re just always on the go different cities and it’s super easy.”
The brunette beauty then does her eyeliner using an Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade – the only product she carries which isn’t from her beauty line, Kylie Cosmetics – and Kylie uses the product when she’s going for a “softer” look.
She said: “The only thing I brought on tour was this brown pomade from Anastasia [Beverly Hills] it’s actually a brow pomade but I’m gonna use it as my liner today because I want something a little softer and I don’t want to use black.”
After taking a break from her routine to do her daughter’s hair, the star moves on to her bold eye look using two pink shades from her 2018 Birthday Palette and adds blush using her Winter Kissed Blush, and notes that because of her bright eyeshadow the rest of her look should be minimal.
Kylie finished her look with one of her signature lip kits, using the Iced Latte Lip Liner and Savage Velvet Gloss.

Tyra Banks’ secret love

OHMYGOSSIP — Tyra Banks secretly dated a “very famous” singer.
The 44-year-old model made contact with the mystery musician via her private messages on Twitter and they went to great lengths to avoid their relationship being detected.
Speaking to Andy Cohen on ‘Watch What Happens Live’, she confessed: “I love DMs. I dated a very famous recording artist because he hit me up in the DMs.
“But, I would go into the restaurant first and then he would go in after, or we would go into restaurants that nobody knows. And to this day, you guys don’t know that I dated this guy. And he was a DM slider.”
The ‘Life-Size 2’ actress declined to reveal who her mystery man was, but she confirmed he wasn’t ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker Drake.
And Tyra also admitted she reassures herself men are “intimidated” by her if they turn her down – but her friends disagree.
Asked if she’s ever been turned down by a guy, she said: “Yeah. And then you go, ‘Oh, he’s intimidated.’ I had one of my friends go, ‘Girl, there’s not that much intimidation in the world, he’s just not that into your ass.’ I was like, ‘You know what, you are right.’ ”
Meanwhile, the ‘America’s Got Talent’ host recently revealed her two-year-old son York – who was born via a surrogate – is keen to be a big brother.
She said: “God, my mom wants more grandbabies.
“My son is rolling and running around and she’s like, ‘You see? He needs a friend. He’s saying that these stuffed animals are his babies and he’s calling himself a big brother.’
“He calls himself a big brother. I’m like there’s nobody underneath you – what does that mean ‘big brother?’ ”

Nick Jonas knelt at first Priyanka Chopra meeting

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Jonas got down on one knee the first time he met Priyanka Chopra.
The ‘Jealous’ hitmaker – who will marry the ‘Quantico’ actress this weekend – had been texting the former Miss World for several months before they came face-to-face at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2017 and he quickly grabbed her attention when she passed him at the bar.
He recalled: “I put my drink down, get on one knee – this is in front of a bunch of people – and I say, ‘You’re real. Where have you been all my life?’ Like, loud.”
After their third date, the 26-year-old singer told his mother he would marry the ‘Baywatch’ actress, and he went on to pop the question during a vacation to Crete to celebrate Priyanka’s birthday in July this year – but was concerned when his partner didn’t answer him.
He recalled to America’s Vogue magazine: “I got down on one knee, again, and I said, ‘Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?’ No joke–she took about 45 seconds. Forty-five seconds of silence.”
Priyanka claims she was left speechless, prompting Nick to added: “I’m going to put this ring on your finger now unless you have any objections.”
The former Jonas Brothers star had initially left Priyanka unimpressed when he made his first contact with her via private messaging on Twitter in September 2016.
He wrote: “I’m hearing from a few mutual friends that we should meet.”
Nick admitted: “She responded day of with a message that said, ‘My team can read this. Why don’t you just text me.’ ”
The ‘Barfi!’ actress had never allowed herself to be pictured with a boyfriend until she began dating Nick.
She said: “I’ve had that rule my whole life. Never publicly acknowledge a relationship. Ever.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Schumer is finding pregnancy “tough”.
The 37-year-old star is expecting her first child with husband Chris Fischer but has been struggling with hyperemesis gravidarum, more commonly known as extreme morning sickness, and appealed for her fans to send her cute pictures to brighten up her day.
She shared a photo of her dog on Instagram and wrote: “The last few days have been tough. I’m grateful as hell and know it’s temporary but tough just the same.
“Please if you don’t mind. Post pics of your kids and tag me #amyschumer.
“My friends sending me pics and vids of their kids is making me feel so much better. Much love accepting dog photos too.(sic)”
The ‘I Feel Pretty’ actress – who was hospitalised earlier this month – warned fans earlier this week she may have to cancel some stand-up comedy gigs because of her health.
She shared a graphic video of herself being sick in a cup and wrote on Instagram: “I love doing stand-up more than anything and I hate cancelling shows. I have to postpone some until I feel human again. But i will make up these dates and we will have a great time. (sic)
“I’m so proud of my stand up right now and can’t wait to share it. Thanks to the amazing crowd tonight for being so warm and such great laughers and for being cool with my sweatpants and slippers on stage.”
Amy also revealed she’s making a documentary about her pregnancy, which will lay bare just how difficult the last few months have been for her.
She continued: “Shots by @marcusrussellprice we are shooting a doc of me these past few months leading up to a special Im filming and you will see that I’m strugglin right now. But I’m so grateful and excited to be a mom. (sic)”

Cher was snubbed by Sonny Bono

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Sonny Bono was more interested in Cher’s friend when they first met.
The 72-year-old singer has recalled how she first crossed paths with her late ex-husband at a party, and it was her “really beautiful” pal that caught her eye.
In a preview clip of her SiriusXM special, ‘The Cher Show: Making the Musical’ obtained by People, she recalled: “I was with my girlfriend, who was really beautiful. He liked her, so he didn’t really say anything to me. He was like, ‘Oh, yeah, kid.’ ”
But the pair ended up dancing with one another because “neither one of our partners danced”.
And in a twist of fate, Sonny – who died in a skiing accident in 1998 – “moved in next door” to the ‘Believe’ singer the following day – and she quickly invited herself to move in with him as she needed a new place to stay.
She said: “I just went up and said, ‘Hi, listen, I’m going to have to move out of our apartment ’cause I’m sick. I don’t have any money. I don’t want to go home. I just want to get out and do things and I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I don’t have anyplace to live and blah blah blah.’ ”
Sonny agreed to let Cher stay when she lied and said she could “cook and clean” after he quizzed her – but he also warned the ‘Mamma Mia! 2’ star that he didn’t find her “particularly attractive”.
She continued: “He said, ‘OK. I have twin beds. You can stay in my house. I don’t find you particularly attractive.’ And I said, ‘OK.’ And I didn’t cook, but he did.”
The pair went on to form their musical duo Sonny & Cher and married in 1964, but divorced six years later. They had one child together, Chaz, now 49, who was born a girl and named Chastity but underwent gender transition 10 years ago.

Alan Carr goes tee total for husband Paul Drayton

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Carr has given up booze to support his husband.
The ‘Chatty Man’ star’s partner Paul Drayton turned to alcohol while the comedian was away so often on tour, and now they have gone tee total together in a show of unity.
According to the Mirror, Alan quipped at a show in London this week: “He’s been sober for 161 days. I haven’t had a drink during this time either… or a smile.”
Alan, 42, has been open about Paul’s battle with alcohol in the past, and admitted his own career was partly to blame.
He previously said: “He had a few issues with alcohol, a lot of the time because I was away so much. I neglected my personal life.”
Alan managed to help Paul get his life back on track, but he’ll never forget the mixed emotions he felt before he had to carry on with work.
Speaking in 2016, he explained: “He’d been to rehab a couple of times. Paul came to me a while ago and he told me ‘I need help now.’
“He kept saying to me, my life is out of control. He’s fine now, he’s sorted.
“I’ve been in bits before I stepped on stage but you have to get on with it. Sometimes it actually helps, it is like a tonic, you need the applause.”
Alan and Paul tied the knot together in January and it was revealed that global pop star Adele got ordained to play a big role in the special day.
As well as marrying the pair in her back garden in Los Angeles in front of just four people, she also insisted on paying for the entire day.
Alan previously revealed: “It was a very special day. She was amazing. She got ordained. I said, ‘Let me pay for something,’ and she said, ‘No, I’m paying.’ She paid for the whole thing.”

Louis Tomlinson: Simon Cowell annoyed me on X Factor

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson says Simon Cowell has annoyed him on ‘The X Factor’.
The former One Direction star – who was part of the superstar boy band put together by the media mogul – has admitted the talent show boss has got on his nerves during their time together on the judging panel.
He told The Sun newspaper’s TV Bizarre column: “I knew that Simon was annoying. He’s been annoying me a bit on the panel, but we’ve had a bit of a laugh, so that’s been good.”
Viewers won’t be too surprised by Louis’ comments, after he’s been seen clashing with Simon a number of times over the current series.
Earlier this month, he fired back after the 59-year-old star – who he joins on the panel alongside Robbie Williams and Ayda Field – tried to take credit for one of Brendan Murray’s song choices.
He ranted: “I chose it actually Simon. You certainly didn’t choose it.”
When his boss tried to suggest he’d sparked the idea with a phone call, Louis, 26, argued: “No Simon. No, you certainly didn’t.”
And even earlier in the series, the pair also clashed after Simon branded one of Brendan’s performance as “really boring”, prompting Louis to tell him to “shut up” as he insisted it wasn’t memorable.
However, the contestant’s mentor responded: “Well, Brendan obviously I completely disagree. I put the pressure on you this week I wanted you to pick the song.
“Pipe down Simon, just for a sec. I thought you really really delivered and Simon doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
The two judges will be going head to head in this weekend’s ‘X Factor’ final, with Louis’ acts Dalton Harris and Anthony Russell facing off with Simon’s protege Scarlett Lee.

Sam Allardyce joins Celebrity Apprentice

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Allardyce has reportedly signed up for the new series of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’.
The football manager – who left his role at Everton in May and has previously coached the England national team – is said to be set for the upcoming Comic Relief special of the reality show.
Lord Sugar is a big fan of football himself – having spent a decade as chairman of his beloved Tottenham Hotspur until 2001 – but he will be judging Sam’s skills as a businessman when they meet in the boardroom.
The Sun newspaper’s TV Bizarre column has reported the star will be part of an all-star cast when the celebrity edition of the BBC show returns for the first time since 2009.
As well as Allardyce – who follows the example of fellow manager and current ‘I’m A Celebrity’ campmate Harry Redknapp by moving to reality TV – the likes of Amanda Holden, Rylan Clark-Neal and Russell Kane are set for the special charity series.
It’s said will be joined by ‘X Factor’ judge Ayda Field following reports in June claiming she has signed up for the show.
An insider said at the time: “Ayda was flattered to be asked on ‘Celebrity Apprentice’.
“It’s another great chance for her to build her public profile on one of Britain’s best loved shows. It’s also one of her favourites.
“She’s competitive as well as intelligent and has a great sense of humour so producers thought she would be a perfect fit.”
This will mark the third celebrity edition, with the first coming over a decade ago in 2007 and featuring ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter Piers Morgan.
Speaking about his longtime rival, Lord Sugar previously claimed: “It was me that launched his television career – seriously, absolutely serious.
“He actually phoned me up when he heard ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ was on, and he said ‘please can I do it?’ and that’s the first time he appeared on television.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emmerdale’s Danny Miller has eaten his entire Christmas advent calendar already.
The 27-year-old actor – who plays Aaron Dingle in the ITV soap – took to his Twitter account to confess that he’s scoffed all the chocs in his festive countdown calendar even though December 1 isn’t until Saturday, and he is proud of his binge.
He tweeted to his 320,000 followers: “Becoming an adult is having the bottle to eat your entire advent calendar with zero f**ks given. #MerryXmas (sic)”
Danny was flooded with comments from fans who had similar problems resisting their holiday chocolate.
One wrote: “That’s so true and you go to the shop and buy another one, or maybe two (sic)”
Another said: “My sister buys my nephew two – one he eats the lot in one day the other he does properly each day and he’s 21 now (sic)”
Earlier this month, Danny celebrated his 10-year anniversary on ‘Emmerdale’ and as the star marked his milestone on the show, fans were fulsome in their praise for his performances on screen and wished him another successful 10 years in the Dales.
One fan said: “It seems longer than 10 years with everything you have packed in with all the different stories. Here’s to many more years. Fantastic acting and great chemistry with your co stars. Congrats Danny (sic)”
Another said: “Congrats on 10 years of being on Emmerdale you legend!! (sic)”
Replying to a video a fan made, Danny – who is one half of popular gay couple Robron with Ryan Hawley who plays Robert Sugden – said: “Wow! This edit is belting. Thanks so much! 10 years has flown by and I’ve loved every minute. My second family, my second home, my first love. Here’s hoping for another ten … And maybe a cheeky pay rise? What? No? Ok.

Alan Dale’s dead character to return to Neighbours for Christmas special

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Dale is returning to ‘Neighbours’ 25 years after his character died.
The 71-year-old actor – whose soap character Jim Robinson was killed off after personal rows with television bosses over his salary – will be returning to Ramsay Street for a Christmas special but has refused to reveal exactly how the writers have decided to bring the character back to life.
Alan told the Sun: “I wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise for people so I’m not going to say much except that I was thrilled to be there!
“I’m pleased they asked me back because being out there on the set again after all those years just laid a whole load of ghosts to rest for me.
“I had some unpleasant times with the producers and things. But I realised when I was walking around the set, seeing a load of old friends that I’d work with back in the day but were still there, that the show had been really very, very, advantageous for me personally.”
His character Jim was father to sons Scott and Paul – played by Jason Donovan and Stefan Dennis – and exited the Australian soap in 1993 after he collapsed on the kitchen floor and died of a heart attack.
The actor gushed that he loved working with his “dear old friend” Stefan who he revealed he has kept in touch with since leaving the show.
He said: “We’re in touch every couple of months because we’re friends but it was just so much fun.”
Alan moved to America in 2000 because he was struggling to find work in his home country and went on to become an American television veteran.
He has since had notable roles in ’24’, ‘The West Wing’, ‘Lost’, ‘Ugly Betty’, ‘The OC’, ‘Dynasty’, ‘Entourage’ and ‘ER’ and has also appeared in top Hollywood movies such as ‘Star Trek: Nemesis’, ‘Captain America’ and The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo’ amongst others.

Simon Cowell remains open to possibility of more kids

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell is open to having another child.
The 59-year-old media mogul has four-year-old son Eric with his long-term partner Laura Silverman and although he admits had previous concerns about having children “too late” he couldn’t imagine being without his son and won’t rule out having another baby.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’, he said: “If you’d have asked me six years ago I would have probably gone, ‘I might have left this a bit too late,’ but then you go, ‘Oh how you could imagine him not being here.’ So whatever happens, happens.”
The ‘X Factor’ judge also confessed that he’s already got Eric in “training” for one day filling his shoes as head judge on the panel of the singing reality show and at the helm of Syco.
He said: “He’s in training as you will see over the weekend, I’m getting him ready to do my job.”
Simon let Eric take control of his entertainment empire, Syco, for one day as part of Unicef UK’s World Children’s Day earlier this month – and Eric even dressed as his famous father for a day at the office, complete with white shirt, blue jeans, black shoes, sharp shades, some grey hairs and a bit of makeup stubble.
Simon said: “Unicef’s World Children’s Day is an inspired idea. I can now talk as a very proud Dad about the joy Eric has brought to my life.
“My dream would be to see him one day running the company I have built. And the most important lesson I have learned is what children teach you. They all have a voice.”

Claire Foy had voice coach to master American accent

By
Ohmygossip.com

OHMYGOSSIP — Claire Foy had the support of a voice coach to master her American accent for her role in ‘The Girl in the Spider’s Web’.
The 34-year-old English actress plays Lisbeth Salander in the thriller – a role previously portrayed by Rooney Mara and Noomi Rapace – has always struggled to master a Yankee twang but she enlisted the help of an expert to get her voice spot on for this project.
Appearing on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’, Claire said: “I’ve never done it with a coach I’ve always sort of done it badly. This time I was more confident about it. When you’re doing an accent sometimes some weird thing comes out of your mouth, it just makes funny shapes.”
The movie is based on the book of the same name by David Lagercrantz, which features the characters created in the Millennium series by late author Stieg Larsson.
Claire read Larsson’s original trilogy when she was in her 20s and was blown away by the character of Lisbeth and she jumped at the chance to take on the part even though two other actresses had already brought her to the big screen.
She said: “I read them when I was about 23. I never read a character like that and I was a young woman reading a character like that and it was an amazing thing. I’d seen those performances of Noomi and Rooney – the best names ever – and I just thought it was incredible. So once I’d heard about it and really reading the books I couldn’t not do it. It’s a real thriller.”

Paloma Faith: ADHD stops me going to the theatre

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Paloma Faith avoids going to the theatre because of her “mild ADHD”.
The 37-year-old singer doesn’t often go to see plays because she believes she has a form of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – which makes it hard for her to concentrate during a 90-minute show.
However, she admits she was captivated by ‘Jerasualem’ with Mark Rylance and Mackenzie Crook which she see saw in London which she found to be an emotional rollercoaster.
She told ES Magazine: “I don’t go to many plays as I think I have mild ADHD, but did catch ‘Jerusalem’ starring Mark Rylance. I cried, I laughed and I had a mild existential crisis.”
The ‘Only Love Can Hurt Like This’ singer grew up in Hackney, London, passionately loves her hometown and would even like to be buried along the No. 73 bus route which runs along East London because she has so many fond memories of that journey.
She said: “East London will always be my home where I live because it’s where I’m from. I want to be cremated, and scattered along the 73 bus route.”
Paloma used to love catching the bus but now she has to relies on taxis to get around the city because getting on a double decker requires her to pose for too many selfies.
She said: “I travel by taxi I’m afraid. It used to be bus: top deck, front seat, left-hand side. But now I have to do several selfies to get on a bus.”

Katie McGlynn doesn’t agree with Sinead’s cancer decision

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Coronation Street’ star Katie McGlynn thinks it is “very dangerous” to treat cancer with just holistic therapies like her character Sinead Tinker is doing on the ITV soap.
The 25-year-old actress is in the middle of a serious storyline in which her alter ego Sinead has been diagnosed with cervical cancer but has decided to spurn chemotherapy because she is pregnant, without telling her husband Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) that she has stopped the treatment recommended by doctors.
Sinead is trying to deal with the cancer by becoming vegan and trying alternative therapies but in real-life Katie thinks it would be the wrong choice.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun Online, she said: “I personally believe it’s very dangerous because people need to realise cancer is a huge thing. Of course it is a huge thing, and to try and treat it only with complimentary therapies as Sinead is trying to isn’t wise. It is a medical diagnosis that people need to medically treat. Complementary therapies will help in a certain way but the main way for actual treatment is the chemotherapy.”
“Sinead’s friend [Steff] believes in holistic therapy and complimentary therapies and she does not believe in chemo so when Sinead befriends her, she thinks that’s the way to go about fighting cancer.”
Katie – who has been in ‘Corrie’ since 2013 – admits she has been stunned by the huge reaction from viewers to the plot and it has made her work even harder on set to do every scene justice.
She added: “I feel a bit humbled by it. I don’t know what to say other than thank you. Literally every performance is from the heart, I always try to bring my feelings to it, and I will carry on doing that. If you’re an actor, on television or not on television, with a story like this you have to use real emotions. That’s just what I’ve done so far and I hope it’s OK.
“All I can say is thank you. I’m just glad viewers are happy with the performance. I’ve been really nervous with it because I don’t want to offend or upset anyone.”

Channing Tatum not fit enough for Magic Mike Live

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Channing Tatum doesn’t feel body confident enough to perform as a stripper in his ‘Magic Mike Live’ stage show.
The 38-year-old actor portrayed the titular character Mike Lane in the 2012 comedy-drama movie, which follows the life of a male stripper and his life at the club, and reprised the role again for the 2015 sequel ‘Magic Mike XXL’.
Following the success of the two films – which are loosely based on the Hollywood star’s own experiences of working as a stripper in Tampa, Florida – Channing created and co-directed ‘Magic Mike Live’, a striptease experience featuring dance routines and acrobatic stunts which has been hugely popular since opening at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas in 2017 and has now come to London at the Hippodrome Casino where it will run until October 2019.
Although he is in good shape, Channing feels insecure next to the ripped dancers in his show and admits he would have to train very hard before even considering appearing shirtless on stage.
Channing – who is currently dating singer Jessie J – told the Evening Standard newspaper: “I love dancing and I love these guys and performing. But when you stand up there with your shirt off next to them with the way they look … I don’t work out on an everyday basis. I know everyone thinks I do but I do not. If I ever get in that shape again I will absolutely be in the show for a weekend or something.”
The ‘Dear John’ star wanted the show to make people feel “liberated” and is passionate about promoting “equal opportunity objectification” as he understands that in society, it is usually men who stare at scantily-clad women for gratification.
He said: “I don’t want anybody coming and being scared of not being in control of their own body, they should feel liberated and empowered by the entire experience. I’m all for some equal opportunity objectification. It’s been the other way for so long so I think it’s just fine.
“But I’m completely aware some men aren’t comfortable with it, but this one is.”

Mandip Gill grateful for Hollyoaks role

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Mandip Gill never intended to stay on ‘Hollyoaks’ for over three years but she had such a “good time” she stayed on.
The 30-year-old actress joined the Channel 4 soap in 2012 as Phoebe McQueen in what was her first major television role.
Mandip initially believed it would be a short-term project but she stayed because she made such “amazing friends” and had such fun on set every day but she is sure she left at the right time.
Speaking on The Two Shot Podcast, she said: “I was in ‘Hollyoaks’ for three-and-a-half years playing the same part, I made this business move, I was like, ‘You know what, I could stay in ‘Hollyoaks’ for years, I can see why people do it.’ I made amazing friends, I lived in Liverpool in my own flat, it was a really good job because it was like being at university but we were getting paid for it, just having a really good time and they offered me a new contract and I was like, ‘I have to be brave now.’ I never wanted to stay there for three-and-a-half years anyway but I just got carried away.”
Mandip lived with her co-star Steven Roberts, who played George Smith, when she was on ‘Hollyoaks’ and she can’t thank him enough for the advice and help he gave her at the start of her television career.
She shared: “You’re working five or six days a week, an absolute machine, you go in there for 10 or 11 hours and it’s just constant, even if it’s not your storyline you’re supporting someone else’s storyline and I was fortunate to be in it all the time … I lived with Steven Roberts and he was already on ‘Hollyoaks’ before I got there and he was so organised and he was an amazing actor and he was like, ‘I use these stickers and it tells me what scene I’m on and what date.’ I got into this beautiful habit where on the side of my file it would tell me everything I was doing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, I was on top of every scene and I knew where I’d been and where I was heading and the big things that had happened that I needed to remember, so it weren’t that difficult. To me that was just a given because it was first job and I thought they were all like that.”
Mandip is currently wowing audiences as TARDIS traveller Yasmin Khan in the current series of ‘Doctor Who’ opposite Jodie Whittaker, but she will always be grateful to her start on ‘Hollyoaks’ because it taught her so much about how to act in a major TV series.
She said: “A lot of people turn their nose up at soaps and in particular ‘Hollyoaks’ but you learn so much, you learn how to hit your marks, how to get to work on time, how to work with so many people because the cast is like 60 or 70 people of all different ages, all different backgrounds, it’s really loud and you’re there all day and it’s really fast.”
