OHMYGOSSIP — Vanessa Feltz’s ex Ben Ofoedu has split from Precious Muir.
Vanessa, 62, endured a public breakup last year when she discovered her then-fiancé Ben had been unfaithful at times during their 16-year relationship.
Ben, 52, went on to date Precious but the pair have now called time on their romance, despite previously telling friends they planned to wed.
He told MailOnline: “I could always see a future with Precious because we connect so well, laugh so much and enjoy one another.
“However, with both our schedules being so manic and life moving so fast we have decided to part ways romantically but hold onto our friendship.”
Precious added: “Ben needs a partner who can settle down right now and have children sooner rather than later. Due to our age difference, for me, I would like to wait a bit longer, perhaps within five years’ time, who knows.
“There is nothing worse than misleading someone once you know how you feel about something like this and know how important it is to the other person.
“I will always love him to pieces and wish the best for him. He’s a good man and has only treated me like a princess.”
Ben and Precious started dating after meeting at London Fashion Week last year and Precious said: “We talk about everything and always encourage each other that’s why it’s so hard to separate but we both know we can’t have the relationship we used to have.
“The pressure of expectations on our public relationship made things very difficult.”
Ben said: “To be truly romantically involved with someone it deserves time and due to the nature of our work, this is something we both cannot give at this very moment.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Frank Skinner has blasted ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’.
The 67-year-old star joined forces with fellow comedian David Baddiel, 60, to record an episode of the Channel 4 show but he was not impressed with the process.
Speaking on his podcast ‘Frank Off The Radio’, Frank said: “So you sit in a room – you only watch like ten minutes of a programme.
“We’re sitting watching the telly and we start talking, and a voice says ‘Say something about his jacket’. Then it would stop, and they’d say ‘Can you not go into digressions, it’s funny if you keep it close to what’s actually happening’.
“It’s such a shame because I think we could have had a laugh and stuff.
“But to be fair to them, they know how to make it – they’ve been making it for years.
“The producer was a really nice guy, they were nice people, they got me fish and chips.”
He also took a swipe at the regular cast of the show, saying “But they’ve been working with a lot of non-professionals on ‘Gogglebox’, who probably need a lot of guidance. Why change a winning formula?”
“I think it’s quite helpful as you get older and you’ve got less time, to within a couple of weeks discover two things that you know you’ll never do again.
Frank revealed he made his feelings known to the producers.
He said: “And pretty soon I’m thinking ‘just please make this stop’. And when I left – I’d made it pretty clear in a politer way – I said ‘Sorry, I thought this was going to be like enjoyable’.
“As I left I said ‘anyway good luck with all of it’, and the producer said ‘you’re not going to watch it are you?’ And I said ‘No, no, I’m not going to watch it’ – and I haven’t.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jamie Borthwick is “very pleased” he’s managed to “stay the course” on ‘EastEnders’.
The 30-year-old actor has played Jay Brown on the soap since he was just 12 years old and while he has “loved every minute” of working on the show, he’s sometimes amazed at what he’s achieved while working alongside acting greats such as June Brown and the late Dame Barbara Windsor.
Jamie – who is currently competing on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ with Michelle Tsiakkas – told the Mirror’s ‘Invite Only’ podcast: “Now I’m older, I’ve realised, ‘Wow, I’ve done all that.’ The same with ‘Strictly’. I watch myself and think, ‘Who is that person?’ It’s like an out-of-body experience.
“I’ve loved every minute of my time at ‘EastEnders’. It’s the people there – they’re fantastic.
“And it’s the same with ‘Strictly’. It’s the people that make a job, not what you are doing.
“I’m very pleased that I’ve stayed the course as well.
“You know, there was a lot of opportunity for them to lose me and there was opportunity for me to go elsewhere.”
Jamie has been forced to delay his impending house move because of his busy schedule as he is currently training eight hours a day for ‘Strictly’, as well as filming ‘EastEnders’.
He said: “There are very exciting times ahead.
“The move is on hold at the minute because I haven’t had a chance to do anything, even get a haircut.
“I’ve got my work cut out to furnish a whole house.”
Jamie and Michelle performed an Argentine tango to ‘Do I Wanna Know?’ by the Arctic Monkeys on Saturday’s (09.11.24) show and he hoped it was enough to keep him in the competition for another week so he can dance at Blackpool Tower.
He said: “Blackpool is the marker I set myself when I signed up to do the show.
“I’ve just got to try and deliver now.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dianne Buswell has branded teaching Chris McCausland to dance her “biggest achievement”.
The 35-year-old dancer admitted she had “doubts and fears” when she was first partnered with the blind comedian on this year’s ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ but they are now among the favourites to win the competition, and she couldn’t be more proud.
She told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “Like Chris, I had my own doubts and fears.
“It was scary. I was so excited but was worried I wasn’t the right person for the job.
“Dancing with Chris has been difficult at times but it has been the most rewarding experience of my career and my biggest achievement.”
Dianne – who came second in 2018 with now-boyfriend Joe Sugg and last year with Bobby Brazier – has had to overhaul her teaching methods when working with Chris.
She explained: “I have had to adapt how I teach. I can’t teach visually with Chris – we’ve had to rely on touch and verbal instructions instead.”
Meanwhile, the 47-year-old comic has revealed he was approached for the show “a few times” in the past but was too scared to take part.
However, he eventually felt “selfish” for not signing up as he knows “representation is important”.
He said: “I said no to this a few times because of my fear.
“I was given an opportunity to represent a group of people on the biggest show on the telly but I wasn’t doing it because I was scared.
“But representation is important, so in the end, I thought not doing it would be selfish.”
And the experience has taught the stand-up star to face his fears in the future.
He added: “It will take a lot to scare me in the future.
“The scariest things I’ve done professionally have always been the most rewarding – but this is off the chart.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Gascoigne has been rejected from ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ five times.
The 57-year-old former footballer – who has struggled with addiction – claimed he had been approached by programme bosses multiple times but during the vetting process, psychiatrists have refused to sign him off to appear on the show.
Paul – who took part in the Italian version of the show, L’Isola Dei Famosi’, in 2021 but had to withdraw after injuring his shoulder – was asked why he had never gone on the show during his ‘An Evening With…’ show in Worthing, West Sussex, on Thursday (07.11.24).
According to The Sun Online, he said: “Well unfortunately right, this is truth to God, ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’, the producers wanted me to go on.
“But you had to see a psychiatrist. If you pass the psychiatrist’s test, you’re in. I failed five f****** times!
“And to be honest, the first time I went to see her I was on cocaine, so she must have f****** knew.
“Second time I told her to f*** off. Third time never wanted to f****** see her again so didn’t really go down too well.”
However, the England legend, who is affectionately known as Gazza, admitted he was relieved not to have taken part.
He added: “When I say I’d like to go in there…once it starts…f*** me I’m sh*t scared. I hate f****** snakes cos I met f****** plenty in my career!
“I suffer from claustrophobia badly. So I’m sometimes glad I give it a miss.”
Last year, Gazza won ‘Scared Of The Dark’, which saw celebrities including Chris Eubank live in complete darkness for eight days, but he wouldn’t do it again.
He said: “I did thingy in the dark – never do that again.
“Will I f***! Jesus Christ. F****** Eubank, prick!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Shayne Ward has exited ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 40-year-old star has become the seventh celebrity to depart the BBC show, after losing out in the dance-off against Wynne Evans and his professional partner Katya Jones.
After his exit was announced, Shayne said: “I just want to say, you guys up there [the other contestants] are a dream. Every single day, coming in here and seeing you guys you helped me so much.
“I want to say thank you to the audience as well, for always being amazing for us all. This has been, honestly, one of the best things I’ve ever done.”
Shayne feels proud of the progress he’s made during his time on the show.
The actor also thanked Nancy Xu, his professional partner, for her help and support.
He explained: “I’m proud that I made it to eight weeks as a novice dancer.
“A massive thank you goes to this incredible human right next to me [Nancy], who has put so much fire in me and made me believe that I can actually achieve more if I let myself go.
“I’m sorry it didn’t work out to the end, but I’m super proud that I got to meet you and dance with you, so thank you.”
Meanwhile, Nancy revealed that she relished working with Shayne, admitting that she “adored” their partnership.
The 33-year-old dancer said: “I’m beyond proud of this dance partnership.
“Shayne from week one until this point, every second you put your feet on the dancefloor you improved yourself. You’re a deep thinker, you always doubt yourself, you never believed in yourself, but I never ever questioned you.
“When I watch you, I feel proud because I’ve turned someone who has never ever danced in their life into an amazing dancer. You should believe in yourself. I adored this partnership.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Bobby Norris thinks ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ is “going so downhill” after a slump in ratings.
The 38-year-old star featured on the ITVBe reality show between 2012 and 2021 and has lamented reports that the show’s viewing figures have fallen to just 48,000 from a previous peak of around 1.5 million.
During an appearance on Fubar Radio’s ‘Access All Areas’ show, Bobby said: “I never bashed the show. I loved my time on the show … I was a little bit sad, because in my day there. In the heyday, we used to get between 1.5 million and 2 million [viewers] an episode.
“So when I saw 48,000 viewers, even though I’m not there, it’s sad. I kinda think the legacy is kind of going so downhill now.”
Bobby also questioned whether it is time to give the programme “respect” by bringing it to an end after more than a decade on air.
He said: “Since the day I left, I’ve never watched the show, but if you can’t even pull in 50,000 viewers, I think, do you know what? Give the show the respect.
“It’s like having a dog in the corner of the kitchen that’s dragging a broken leg, like you would be kind, and you’d take him to the vet and let him go to sleep.”
Bobby is grateful that ‘TOWIE’ has given him the opportunity to take part in shows such as ‘Celebs Go Dating’ and ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’ and pointed out that other stars such as Joey Essex, Gemma Collins and Pete Wicks have gone to success elsewhere after featuring in the series.
He said: “There’s probably been hundreds of people who’ve done the show over the however-many years it’s been on … to go on and still have careers.
“Thankfully, I’m one of them, but they’re few and far between. It broke barriers. It just kind of makes me a little bit sad. 48,000, oh gosh, it’s less than an Instagram story.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelsey Grammer has teased the prospect of an ‘Only Fools and Horses’ reunion between Nicholas Lyndhurst and Sir David Jason in ‘Frasier’.
The 69-year-old actor is joined by Nicholas – who played Rodney Trotter in the iconic BBC comedy – in the reboot of the sitcom as he portrays Harvard professor Alan Cornwall and has hinted at the possibility of David making an appearance in the show as Derek ‘Del Boy’ Trotter.
Kelsey told Metro: “It makes sense. Who knows? I mean, he could just walk by and say ‘Dipstick’, couldn’t he?
“It might be really fun to have Alan maybe watching it, watching the old show or something?
“There’s any number of ways maybe to make the connection, because, of course it is a nostalgic show and Nick has such a huge, huge presence in the UK – with good reason!”
Kelsey considers Nicholas to be “one of the best actors who ever lived” and suggested that he could give his co-star even more of a central role in future seasons of the Paramount+ comedy.
The star, who plays psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane in the series, said: “He’s one of the best actors who ever lived. There’s no question about his abilities and he’s beloved, so we’ll mine that as much as we possibly can.
“He’s remarkable. I and the writers were talking about, ‘Boy, I can’t wait until maybe next season where Frasier doesn’t even have to do anything at all, we’ll just let Nick have the show’.
“We’re looking forward to what that one might be. We’ve set it up well enough to have him take the reins of the A story in a show pretty soon. We’re working up to that now.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Halsall could be ruled out of ‘I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!’ Bushtucker Trials after suffering another knee injury.
The 42-year-old actor – who plays Tyrone Dobbs in ‘Coronation Street’ – is set to go into the Australian jungle this year after being forced to pull out of the last series as he needed to have knee surgery but a new problem is said to have put his participation in the camp’s attempts to win food under threat.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Alan was meant to be taking part in a padel competition but pulled out at the last minute because his knee was playing up.
“It’s fine now but he just has to be really careful. He might not be able to take part in some of the trials, bosses are currently working out if he will be ruled out of any.
“It’s a huge blow for Alan because he was looking forward to throwing himself into it and now has to be a bit wary.”
Meanwhile, ‘I’m A Celebrity’ bosses have reportedly axed the Walk the Plank trial that saw contestants wobble along a plank suspended at great height before they entered the jungle and are planning a new challenge that is just as scary when the new run begins on November 17.
An industry insider told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “Bosses are staying tight-lipped on exactly what they’ve got lined up to replace the plank, but rest assured it will be equally as terrifying and exhilarating.
“It won’t be an easy ride into camp for the celebrities this year.
“Bosses are pulling out all the stops to ensure the show has a spectacular launch that viewers won’t want to miss.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Dancing on Ice’ chiefs have set up a 24-hour hotline for contestants to report bullying.
Bosses on the ITV show are said to have sent the 12 celebrities competing in the upcoming series a six-page letter telling them that they can speak out “without fear of abuse” as they seek to avoid the bullying scandal that has engulfed the BBC and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
Each of the stars on ‘Dancing on Ice’, which returns to screens in January 2025 with Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern set to return as hosts, will be assigned a producer to ensure their “wellbeing” after the bullying claims made against Giovanni Pernice by his celebrity partner Amanda Abbington and the sacking of Graziano Di Prima for kicking ‘Love Island’ star Zara McDermott cast a shadow over ‘Strictly’.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “ITV puts the welfare of show contestants at the heart of what they do. No one needs another ‘Strictly’ – and ‘Dancing on Ice’ bosses want their stars to feel like they can speak out if something isn’t right.
“They will have access to a 24-hour hotline manned by professionals to raise concerns about any bullying or to get help with their mental health.
“They have also been given a letter outlining what they should expect from the show and how they should conduct themselves.
“This year’s celebs have said they appreciate the measures. To know they have support like this is reassuring.”
The letter warns contestants – including former ‘EastEnders’ star Charlie Brooks, TV personality Ferne McCann and ex-footballer Anton Ferdinand – that taking part in the series could leave them “mentally and physically drained”.
Michael Barrymore, who was due to take part in the 2020 series before withdrawing due to injury, claimed earlier this year that he saw dancers abused on the show – although this was denied by ITV.
The 72-year-old star said: “I find it bewildering that BBC’s ‘Strictly’ is the only production under fire… when ITV’s ‘Dancing on Ice’ treated their celebrities and dancers exactly the same – if not worse.
“Even I witnessed abuse from producers at ITV and I had a very short stint with them.”
A spokesman for the channel responded: “We do not recognise these unsubstantiated claims.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Oakley has vowed to “carry the torch forward” for Amy Dowden on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 33-year-old dancer has stepped in to partner JLS singer JB Gill for the rest of the BBC series after Amy was forced to withdraw due to a foot injury and hopes to do her co-star proud by continuing her hard work.
Speaking on spin-off show ‘It Takes Two’ on Thursday (07.11.24), Lauren said: “I think leading on from the groundwork that Amy has put in, I just want to carry the torch forward as much as I can because she’s done all the work.
“So I want to just do the partnership justice and bring my flair as well to JB.”
Lauren added to her celebrity partner: “You have kind of got the best of both worlds, you got to work with a couple of professionals.”
The dancer stated her desire to reach the show’s Blackpool Week and perform at the “mecca of Ballroom and Latin” at the Tower Ballroom.
Lauren said: “It’s just the most special place.”
Amy described how she was “gutted” to leave the show and stressed that it had “nothing to do with any previous health scares” after she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year.
She said: “I’m absolutely gutted, unfortunately I have an insufficiency stress fracture, if I’ve said that right, on my shin.
“This injury could have happened to anybody. I want to stress it’s nothing to do with any previous health scares.”
Amy also expressed hope that she could return to the dancefloor in a group number by the end of the series.
The Welsh dancer said: “Hopefully I’ll be back dancing in some capacity, maybe in a group number, by the end of the series.”
