OHMYGOSSIP — Abbie Quinnen is reportedly set to enter the ‘Love Island’ villa.
The 27-year-old dancer – who is the ex-girlfriend of AJ Pritchard – has been lined up by TV bosses to join the hit show.
The source told The Sun newspaper: “Abbie has become well-known in her own right and after her break-up with AJ she fancied a fresh chance at love.”
Abbie is poised to follow in the footsteps of reality TV star Joey Essex, who recently entered the ‘Love Island’ villa.
The insider continued: “Joey went in as the first big bombshell and Abbie is waiting in the wings for the call up.
“She has been in talks with ‘Love Island’ for weeks over being a bombshell and has said she can’t wait to dive in and mix things up.
“When she was with AJ, she found out a lot about ‘Love Island’ through Curtis [Pritchard, AJ’s brother and a former Islander] so she knows what is in store for her.”
Meanwhile, a source recently insisted that Joey “won’t be given any preferential treatment” on ‘Love Island’.
The reality star won’t be treated any differently to the other Islanders, despite his fame and success.
The source told MailOnline: “He hasn’t been paid an appearance fee or any money at all for signing up to the show, not a penny.
“On ‘Love Island’, it is all about the exposure and for Joey, it means more than that too … He’s looking for someone to settle down with, so it’s not about the money he can make on the other side.”
Joey is ultimately keen to show his “true self” to the British public.
The insider added: “Not many people know the real Joey, over the years he’s hidden behind his reality TV persona but being on ‘Love Island’ will give him the opportunity to show his true self.
“He doesn’t need fame, followers, or the prize money … He’s excited to meet someone and can’t wait to start dating.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James May has reportedly been forced to scrap his cooking show because he’s become too skilled in the kitchen.
The former ‘Top Gear’ star has presented two series of ‘Oh Cook!’ for Amazon Prime Video as he embarked on his own culinary journey, but as his talents have grown, it’s said he feels the programme has jumped the shark and gone beyond the original joke.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “The whole idea behind the show was James being a clueless cook and learning on the job.
“It was a totally fresh concept that viewers lapped up, as usually cooking series are presented by professional chefs.
“But after two seasons, James is now quite a good cook, so it’s not a gag he can continue to flog.”
The show first aired in 2020, with the name inspired by his sweary catchphrase from ‘Top Gear’.
In each episode, James was taught the basics for making a certain meal or kind of cuisine, ranging from curries to a roast dinner.
The second series aired in May 2023 and saw him take things further, while he even went on to release his own cookery book.
Meanwhile, the 61-year-old star recently ruled out the idea of working with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond again, bringing an end to their 21-year TV partnership with the conclusion of ‘The Grand Tour’.
He told UniLad: “I think people would only really like us doing cars, despite what some people say – ‘Oh, I think you should all go off and do cooking or you should all go and do a podcast about nothing.’
“But I don’t think so, I think we should let it lie, what we did.”
This comes after Clarkson revealed he and his ‘The Grand Tour’ co-stars would be leaving the programme because he had run out of ideas for future instalments of the series.
During an interview with The Times newspaper, he said: “I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else. We’ve done everything you can do with a car. When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex Bain “loved” his time on ‘Coronation Street’.
The 22-year-old actor – who has played Simon Barlow on ‘Coronation Street’ since 2008 – has taken to Instagram to reflect on his time on the ITV soap, admitting that he’s had a “fantastic experience” on the show.
In a video clip filmed outside the Rovers Return pub, Alex said: “I just want to say a quick message from me and my character Simon to all the fans of ‘Coronation Street’.
“I just wanted to say that it’s been a fantastic experience. I’ve loved being here, and I’ve loved being a part of the nation’s favourite street.
“And I just wanted to say a big old thank you to everybody who supported me over the years, all the people I’ve worked with, and it’s been an honour and I will always cherish my time here on ‘Coronation Street’. Take care everyone.”
Alex previously revealed that he wanted to spend more time dancing, after he quit ‘Coronation Street’.
The actor explained that in the long term, he hopes to open his own dance school.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I will always be a dancer and one day I would love to be a choreographer and teach dance and ultimately open my own dance and performance school.
“I am currently finally taking my ballet and modern intermediate exams that I should have done when I was 16. I need those qualifications to have a chance of teaching and doing choreography.
“Acting goes hand in hand with dancing though so hopefully I will be able to continue to do both.
“But dance is definitely my focus at the moment. I’d like to do a dance teaching course. I’ve been able to attend a full week’s worth of classes, which is something I haven’t been able to do for a while.”

The 91-year-old actress left the Channel 4 show despite entertaining viewers with her no-nonsense views and her on-screen chemistry with her showbiz pal Gyles Brandreth.
Sheila previously told BBC Radio 2: “I loved every minute of it. I got the sack from that actually.
“They didn’t ask me back for some reason – I suppose because I was too rude about some of the things I saw.”
The actress also confessed to being caught off-guard by some of the content she watched for the show.
She said: “I, honest to God, had not seen most of the programmes they showed us – like, all those where everyone was showing off their private parts. And I was deeply shocked, quite genuinely overwhelmed by the whole thing.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Hagan believes “ten months of consistency” has led to her recent weight loss.
The ‘Geordie Shore’ star – who gave birth to her son Alpha in June 2023 – has admitted that it’s taken time and patience in order to regain her pre-pregnancy figure.
Alongside a photo showing off her impressive weight-loss results, Holly wrote on her @thefittyapp Instagram page: “1 year apart – 10 months of consistency, 40lb difference. This journey takes time. Especially post partum.
“We have to take it slow and build up that strength safely. 20 minutes was all I could do so that’s all I did.
“I started with our beginner programmes which I planned for myself to ease back in and I prioritised my daily walk. I made sure my calories reflected my activity level. (sic)”
Holly, 31, has urged her followers to “be patient” during their own weight-loss journeys.
The TV star said: “It’s hard to be patient when the scales stay the same for 4 weeks, even though you know you’re doing everything right.
“It makes you want to throw the towel in, but you have to think with logic and not emotion. WE DO NOT DEFY SCIENCE. (sic)”
Meanwhile, Holly previously admitted to being hurt by online comments about her post-pregnancy figure.
She said on Instagram in April: “I knew exactly what I was capable of and would get to where I wanted to be I just needed some patience and consistency.
“I’d love to say I didn’t let the comments about my postpartum body get to me, but after a video went viral with thousands of people telling me how awful and abnormal I looked, it was really hard to show up and do my job.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sian Welby is expecting a baby girl.
The 37-year-old presenter announced her pregnancy news earlier this year, and she’s now revealed the gender of her baby.
Sian – who is engaged to Jake Beckett – said to Jordan North on ‘Capital Breakfast’: “I’m at that point where I’m 38 weeks – I’ve got 11 days to go.
“Before I go off on baby leave, I do want to share one thing with everyone because I’ve decided that ‘Capital Breakfast’, it doesn’t have listeners, we are a family and I have told my nearest and dearest what me and my partner Jake are having.
“And I know you are all invested. So I’m going to tell you what I’m having … it’s a girl!”
Jordan, 34, subsequently offered some words of encouragement to his co-host.
He said: “You’re both going to be great parents. You’re going to be the best mum and he’s going to be the best dad.”
Sian announced her pregnancy back in February.
The TV presenter joked at the time that she’d been through a lot of “stress” trying to keep the news to herself.
She said on ‘Capital Breakfast’: “I’ve got a bit of an announcement for you! I’m pregnant!
“I don’t know how I’ve managed to keep it from you for so long. It’s not a joke, it’s not a joke! The stress I’ve gone through trying to pretend not to be drinking. The lies, the deceit, the mocktails! I couldn’t wait to tell you.
“This is a whole new journey for me and I want to take you all on it with me, and don’t worry I’m not going anywhere!
“This is going to be a lot of fun and I can’t wait to share it with you all.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Fearne Cotton has been on a “steep learning curve” as a writer.
The 42-year-old TV star has written a fiction novel called ‘Scripted’ and although she’s loved the challenge, Fearne admitted that it hasn’t always been easy.
The presenter – whose novel centres on a character called Jade Shaw – told FAULT Magazine: “I wasn’t necessarily fixated on writing a novel; I was in a good groove writing non-fiction then, one day I was out running on the same route Jade takes at the beginning of the book. I was looking around at all the trash and this weird thought popped into my head: what if I found a script of my life on the floor? I don’t know why exactly, but it wouldn’t leave me alone.
“Later that day, I told my writer friend Claire about the idea. I mentioned I thought it might be a novel, but I had no idea how to even start. She said, ‘Just start writing it tomorrow.’
“So, the next day, true to my non-procrastinating nature, I opened my laptop and began writing. It was a secret project for a long time, until I had around 40,000 words written.
“I thought I’d better get some feedback, just in case it was terrible! She loved the idea and encouraged me to keep going. I finished the book and then focused on finding a publisher.
“It was a steep learning curve, but I absolutely loved every minute of it.”
Fearne worked on the project for two years in total, and despite the challenges she’s faced, she’s actually enjoyed the experience.
She said: “The editing process probably took about a year, but I wouldn’t trade the experience. From that initial run to holding the finished book in my hands, it took about two years.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cat Deeley is “really feeling the pressure” to succeed on ‘This Morning’.
The 47-year-old TV presenter was previously hired as Holly Willoughby’s replacement, and she’s desperate to see the long-running ITV show succeed.
An insider told OK! magazine: ​​”Cat is really feeling the pressure at ‘This Morning’ and knows there is a lot riding on her and Ben [Shephard, her co-host] to get it right.
“She is really loving working with Ben and the partnership that they are building but she’s well aware of the critics and the falling ratings.
“She feels she and Ben haven’t been given enough time and that they are the fall guys for everything that went on at the show over the past few years.”
Cat and her husband Patrick Kielty, 53, relocated back to the UK before she landed the coveted role on ‘This Morning’.
But the presenter is said to miss the “Los Angeles lifestyle” and is wondering if they’ve made the right decision.
The source said: “She and Patrick moved back to the UK for their boys but Cat really misses the Los Angeles lifestyle and everything that comes with it.
“She still has her job on ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ and there is part of her that wonders whether they made a mistake coming back to the UK.
“The lack of sunshine is hard, as well as the laid-back way of life, plus they could be quite anonymous over there.”
By contrast, Cat previously admitted to fearing for the safety of her children in the US.
The TV presenter recalled one incident when Patrick and her son were caught up in an attack at a shopping mall.
Cat – who has Milo, eight, and James, six, with her husband – told You magazine in 2020: “I got a call from Paddy, saying, ‘They’re taking us out through the fire exits but nobody can get to their car. If we walk to a junction, can you come and get us.
“He wanted to keep Milo calm, so I didn’t understand the enormity of what was happening. As I was driving I began to see helicopters, news vans, firemen and Swat squads.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Anna Kendrick is set to star in the US series of ‘The Traitors’.
The ‘Twilight’ and ‘Pitch Perfect’ actress has been tipped to take part in the upcoming celebrity version of the psychological adventure competition, which is hosted by Scottish actor Alan Cumming.
The Super TV news account on X posted: “Anna Kendrick is currently in The Traitors Castle in Scotland among several other influencers, filming promo for The Traitors USA with Peacock.”
Both the UK and US versions of the show are filmed at Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
And, it was previously revealed that ‘Friends’ actress Courteney Cox – who is a close pal of UK ‘Traitors’ presenter Claudia Winkleman – could sign up to the UK celebrity version.
An insider told The Sun: “Getting Courteney on board would be a real coup.
“The fact the producers have a star from ‘Friends’ in their sights shows the kind of calibre of famous faces ‘Celebrity’ Traitors is aiming for.
“After the show was announced, producers were swamped with calls from big names and their agents wanting to throw their hat in the ring — many of them a big surprise.
“Courteney has always been a fan of the show, particularly as the British version has her mate Claudia fronting it.”
