OHMYGOSSIP — Dan Osborne “doesn’t need” the drama that comes with being on reality TV.
The 32-year-old star made his name as a regular cast member on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ alongside the likes of Gemma Collins and Mark Wright but almost a decade after he left, he has admitted he would be unlikely to ever consider a comeback to the ITVBe show.
He told new! magazine: “Probably not. I’m alright [laughs]. That just makes for drama, and I don’t need it. No, what am I going to do?”
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star – who is now married to ‘EastEnders’ actress Jacqueline Jossa and has Ella, nine, and Mia, five, with her as well as 10-year-old Teddy with former partner Megan Tomlin – also admitted when asked if he is still a fan of the genre, that he doesn’t really pay things like ‘Love Island’ any attention.
He said: “Not really. I know a few previous contestants; I’ve done a few charity football matches and got to meet them there, and that’s when I found out they’ve been on ‘Love Island’, but I just don’t watch it. I prefer to put on a good series or a movie. And with Love Island, they’re all on it for some followers and a bit of a link-up with PrettyLittleThing [the clothing brand] – I don’t think they’re actually on it for love. It’s just not my thing.”
Meanwhile, Dan also noted that it is unlikely that he and Jacqueline will ever have any more children, especially now that she has returned to the role of Lauren Branning full-time on the BBC One soap.
He said: “I don’t think we’ll have any more. I think we’re good. We have spoken about it, but Jacqueline’s back at work now. Our youngest one, Mia, is nearly six, and it’s hard to go back and start all over again. Three is a good number as well.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Brenda Edwards “hasn’t got time” for romance.
The 55-year-old TV star has daughter Tanisha and late son Jamal – who died in 2022 at the age of just 31 – – from a previous relationship but insisted that she is “fine” being single and doesn’t need any form of partner in her life.
She told Woman’s Own: “No, I’m single and loving it. I don’t need a man, or a woman. I’m fine with just me, myself and I. You’ve got to enjoy your own company. Plus, I’m really busy, so I haven’t got the time to date!”
The ‘Loose Women’ panellist shot to fame when she took part in ‘The X Factor’ in 2005 and has since carved out a successful career in musical theatre with roles in shows such as ‘Hairspray’ and ‘We Will Rock You’ but admitted that she is no longer in touch with the judges who mentored her during the competition.
She said: “They’re all busy. Sharon [Osbourne] came to see me star in a couple of shows, like ‘We Will Rock You’ and ‘Chicago’, but I’m not really in touch with any of the judges. As far as the acts are concerned, I’m in contact with Chico, Andy Abraham, Fleur East of course, and The Conway Sisters.”
However, Brenda would be keen to see the talent show – which was axed in 2018 after 15 series – make a comeback and would even be keen to go back on it.
She said: “I’d love it to return and I’d love to go on it again because during my time there we used backing tracks, but then two years later they introduced live bands. I think any singer would love to sing with a live band.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Prue Leith only eats teaspoons of cake per ‘Bake Off’ episode so she doesn’t pile on the pounds.
The 84-year-old food expert took over from Dame Mary Berry, 89, as judge alongside Paul Hollywood, 58, when the programme moved from BBC One to Channel 4 seven years ago, and she has revealed she avoids eating breakfast and lunch to make way for her cake testing.
Speaking on the ‘Crazy Sexy Food’ podcast, she said: “It’s not a problem, because if you think about it even if there are 12 bakers in there and we’re judging the showstopper if I’m clever and I can get a teaspoon that gets a bit of icing, a bit of filling and a bit of cake, it’s only a teaspoon, so it’s 12 teaspoons. If you do that twice in the first day when we do the first two challenges and then once on the next day it’s not that much. But I don’t eat breakfast and I don’t eat lunch so basically I get my calories from the cake.
“Paul doesn’t get fat and he eats everything, including breakfast and lunch! Some people can just do it.”
Prue admits it’s a very intense process to get on the show and the bakers are under immense pressure, even before they are filmed.
She shared: “I think that’s one of the great secrets of it. Because it’s taken really seriously, Paul and I want to see really perfect bakes, so the expectation is very high.
“The bakers, to get there, have had six months of intense practicing and competition and then finally sending it in.
“Getting through the process of actually getting onto Bake Off is enormously difficult, and there they are, they’re finally there and they don’t want to mess it up, they’ve spent six months of their lives getting there and they don’t want to mess it up.
“The tension grows during the series because they think, ‘My God, there is a chance that I could actually win.’ And of course any one of them could win. If you think thousands and thousands of people apply to Bake Off and you’ve got 12 which have been judged to be the best out of these thousands so of course they could all win Bake Off, they are all up to it. And they all know that, they know that they’re in with a chance so of course they’re very anxious and tense.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dr. Michael Mosley’s widow has vowed to continue his work as she paid tribute to her husband.
The TV doctor passed away at the age of 67 earlier this month on the Greek island of Symi after he vanished during a walk in sweltering temperatures whilst holidaying with his wife Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley and his grieving partner has taken to social media to thank the public for their “outpouring of love” in the wake of the health expert’s death.
She posted on Instagram: “Thank you all for your wonderfully supportive messages. The outpouring of love from so many people has meant a huge amount to me and my family.
“I’m going to be quiet for a while. I’m sure you will understand. But I will be back here soon. I very much want to continue with the work that gave Michael and myself so much joy and such a sense of purpose.
“Once more thank you so much for respecting my family’s privacy so kindly.
“Michael was an amazing man. Thank you for seeing that too. We miss him so much.”
Dr. Mosley – who presented shows such as the BBC programme ‘Trust Me, I’m A Doctor’ – had reportedly been offered the chance to appear as contestant on the next series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ prior to his tragic death.
A source told the Daily Mail newspaper: “He told me just the week before last he’d been invited to do ‘Strictly’.”
Another insider added to the publication: “Dr. Mosley would have been a hugely loveable contestant, exactly what the show needs.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Giovanni Pernice is in talks to join the Italian version of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 33-year-old dancer will not be part of the professional line-up on this year’s series of the hit BBC show amid allegations of “threatening and abusive behaviour” towards his former partners on the programme but is set to return to the dancefloor in his homeland on ‘Dancing with the Stars’.
A source told MailOnline: “Giovanni is in advanced talks to join the Italian version of ‘Strictly’, ‘Dancing with the Stars’.
“Bosses are really keen to sign him up as a judge given his fame and status in the UK but are also open to the dancer performing as a professional, if he still wants to compete.
“It’s a great move for Giovanni, who has weighed up the possibility of doing shows like ‘I’m A Celebrity (Get Me Out Of Here)’, but dance will always be his passion.
“All he wants is a fresh start and to join ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in Italy will certainly give him the new chapter he’s been hoping for.”
‘Strictly’ head judge Shirley Ballas defended Giovanni recently and claimed that the “truth will come out” regarding the allegations.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “He has always been to me, and I will make that clear, to me, a perfect gentleman.
“My feeling for Giovanni is, let them do this investigation or whatever it is they are doing and the truth will come out.
“I have never ever, ever experienced any ill will or bad feeling or bad sportsmanship or rudeness from him.”
The 63-year-old dancer admitted she can only reflect on her “own perspective”, and she refused to pass judgement until she knows “100 percent it is true”.
She said: “You know, I can only talk from my own perspective. I have known Giovanni for 10 years. I know he is a hard worker. He wants the people to do the very best that they can do.
“Obviously in my life I was bullied a lot. I don’t condone bullying on any path but also I don’t believe gossip because things get escalated and they are blown way out of all proportion and it can turn into a great big snowball.
“So we don’t judge anybody until I know absolutely 100 per cent. I won’t pass on the gossip unless I know 100 per cent it is true. He will be missed.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Millie Court says Joey Essex “knows what he’s doing” on ‘Love Island’.
The 27-year-old star won the seventh series of the ITV2 dating programme alongside Liam Reardon in 2021 and praised the reality star for “putting on a good show” in the villa as a result of his experience on a range of reality TV programmes.
Speaking to MailOnline, Millie said: “His [Joey’s] was a really good entrance and I think that it was pretty iconic and he’s been really iconic. He’s obviously been bringing the drama, which is always good.
“And well, it’s Joey Essex, he’s been in lots of reality TV shows before, so I feel like he knows what he’s doing. He’s putting on a good show. It’s what we all want to see.
“Drama at the end of the day is what keeps people watching Love Island, isn’t it. So as long as he keeps bringing that, then he’ll stay in.”
Millie also suggested that programme bosses deserve credit for making the former ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star the show’s first celebrity islander.
She said: “I think it was pretty iconic of ‘Love Island’ to sign him though, everyone was really shocked and wasn’t expecting it because in the past it’s just been ex-Islanders coming in and I think now obviously ‘Love Island’ has stepped away from that and just getting celebrities in general to come in, so they’ve upped their game.”
Millie added that she thinks some of this year’s islanders have entered with a “game plan” which she considers to be the wrong approach for the show.
She said: “To be honest with you, I think people might have gone in there with a bit of a game plan, and I just think there’s no point in doing that.
“I think just be really true to yourself and get the connections and try not to force anything.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Suranne Jones thinks she would have been considered as a witch back in the 17th century.
The 45-year-old actress hosts the new Channel 4 documentary ‘Suranne Jones: Investigating Witch Trials’ and explained how she has many characterises in common with those who were considered to have evil magic powers.
Suranne told the Daily Express Saturday magazine: “I wouldn’t have survived!
“I’m a creative, I’m outspoken, I change my look all the time, I tell stories, I love animals… I mean, it sounds mad, doesn’t it?
“I have mental health issues and I’m perimenopausal, so that’s surely not going to wash well because surely you’re a witch if you’re sweating too much or your hormones are all over the place and it’s affecting you so you get angry.”
The ‘Doctor Foster’ star added that her birthmarks and moles would also like mean that she was condemned.
Suranne said: “I’ve got birthmarks and moles everywhere, so they would have been witch marks too.
“Everything about me as a person would have made them think that they needed to get rid of me because I would not have worked in their societal picture, for sure.”
The ‘Gentleman Jack’ actress has worked with her producer husband Laurence Akers on the two-part documentary and explained that it stemmed for a lifelong interest in “folklore”.
Jones said: “I’ve always loved literature on folklore, fairy tales, witches and vampires.
“I always wanted to play the witch when I was younger, rather than a princess, and then when I got married, my husband was always saying, ‘Is that another witch book you’r reading?’
“So, when we started our production company, he wrote a brilliant treatment for me and sent it off and the next thing we knew, it was commissioned.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Suranne Jones will only make a third season of ‘Vigil’ if it is the “right story”.
The 45-year-old actress reprised her role as DCI Amy Silva for a second series of the hit BBC drama in December, with her character travelling to the Middle East to investigate a drone killing, and though she suggested she’d be on board to play the character again, she’d only agree to do so if it was being made for the right reasons.
Asked about a third season, she said on the ‘Radio Times Podcast’: “I don’t know, maybe I’ll have to make a call to my agent
“We’ve done two [seasons], so there has been mention of a three, but as ever it has to be the right story and everyone has to agree that it’s the right thing. So, maybe.”
Show creator Tom Edge previously insisted he would only make a third installment if there was “something urgent to be said”, but hinted there were plenty of possibilities.
Speaking at a Q + A for season 2, he said: “I think we never take anything for granted in terms of actors. I mean, these actors are incredible, and they are offered so many jobs, and it’s a useful thought to think we have to have a shot at earning their time, their pick, and that is a reasonably high bar.
“So, if we think about doing that, it has to feel like there is something urgent to be said, on both the character level and in terms of the domain that we may intend to unpack those questions. But I will say the world doesn’t seem short on turbulence or question marks.”
Suranne previously drew comparisons between herself and her character in the show.
She said: “I think when you fall in love with the character, and it’s just a one off piece, you wish you could have developed or delved more, or there’s things you’d want to know. So coming back to second series is great.
“Being a woman who constantly wants to prove herself and feels like a responsibility of many people, when we’re out filming and when crews are doing lots for us – I think Amy and I share that.
“I have a child. I share that [with Amy]. I’m constantly trying to balance my life and my career. I share that.
“I’ve had issues with anxiety, which Amy has had. So there’s a lot of things that I can relate to. That’s the beauty of finding the characters where you can go, ‘that’s the one’ when you read it.”
