OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Hall has reportedly been axed from ‘Emmerdale’.
The 20-year-old actor has portrayed Samson Dingle since he was just five years old but has been left “absolutely gutted” after producers told him they were killing off his alter ego.
The decision is said to not have been popular with the cast, leaving Sam’s on-screen family “angry”.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Sam had a meeting with bosses earlier this month where they broke the news.
“He has been left devastated. He’s grown up with his on-screen Dingle clan and they are all very protective of him.
“Some of the cast even went to talk to bosses about their decision.
“As news of his axing swept through the building there were quite a lot of angry Dingles.
“The fact that they are planning on killing him off means there’ll be no way back for him either.
“He’s absolutely gutted.”
Sam – whose storylines have included being a teenage dad – previously admitted he enjoyed it when the younger cast members took centre stage on the show.
He told Metro.co.uk: “I think it’s great to give the teenagers these storyline as it gives us a chance to film something different and show the younger people in the village.
“I love the scenes where he is getting up to not good without a doubt. I would be friends with Samson in real life because deep down he is a good lad!’”
And he was excited for the future of his alter ego.
He added: “As my character gets older, it gives me the opportunity to be in bigger storylines and the chance to develop Samson’s character.
“I’ve enjoyed every minute of working there and look forward to the rest. I love being a Dingle, I couldn’t ask for anything better. It’s great every time I get to film with the family. In fact after filming with them for so many years, it doesn’t feel like work at all.”
An ‘Emmerdale’ spokesperson declined to comment.

OHMYGOSSIP — Bruno Tonioli wants to die on stage.
The 68-year-old Italian choreographer has enjoyed a career beyond his wildest dreams and the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge has no plans to retire because he adores his work so hopes when the end comes, it will be while he’s doing what he loves
He told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “If I drop dead I will drop dead on stage. I love what I do. I always had this dream since I was a kid and what has happened is beyond what I could have ever dreamed of.
“Obviously I had to work very hard, I had to teach myself languages, but still being here, still working in the UK, still working in Hollywood. It’s like, ‘Wow! It’s meant to be’.”
Bruno was one of the original judges on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ but left ahead of the 2020 series because of COVID-19 travel restrictions – and he’s not watched a single episode with his replacement, Anton Du Beke, on the panel.
He said: “I haven’t watched it, but it’s funny, I never watched it when I was in it. I have no regrets.
“I’m still doing ‘Dancing With The Stars’ in America.
“I haven’t spoken to Anton, they are all still my friends.
“The show is extremely successful and I had a fantastic time on it.”
As well as his judging work, Bruno is keen to do more acting and is eyeing a sinister “baddie” role – though he wouldn’t want people to think he’d just been hired as a “celebrity booking”.
He said: “I’ve sung, I’ve danced, I’ve done all of that, but I want to play a baddie.
“I’d do it uncredited because you put my name on and they say it’s a celebrity booking, that’s s***t.
“I want to play a baddie, a mafioso, a drug dealer. I love ‘The Gentlemen’.”
Bruno admitted he is considering getting Botox injections – after realising he’s the only one on the ‘BGT’ panel, which also includes Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon, with wrinkles.
He said: “I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror and said, ‘Bloody hell, I am the only person with wrinkles’.
“I do my thing but I haven’t done Botox yet. I will now. There’s nothing wrong with it if it makes you look better on screen, I’m not commenting on that.
“I think I could do with a bit. I’m very expressive, so I’m not sure if I could cope if I couldn’t move my face.
“But you have choices. I’m not one to criticise people’s choices.
“If it makes you feel better there’s nothing wrong with it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell has insisted Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh are still “great friends” of his and he wants to repair their rift.
The music mogul was mocked by the pair during their recent appearance on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, which prompted a war-of-words between Sharon and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge Amanda Holden, but the ‘X Factor’ boss doesn’t bear them any ill will and admitted he should probably get in touch with the duo.
Simon – who ditched his mobile phone eight years ago – told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “If you put Sharon and Louis in the house, that’s what you pay them for, they’re going to be controversial. I still consider Sharon and Louis really good friends, we could pick up the phone to each other tomorrow. I think that’s probably one of the things they’re upset about, because they can never get hold of me.
“Amanda is a great friend, but I really do believe Sharon and Louis are great friends as well. I don’t have a phone but from what I heard, what they said about me was actually quite funny. And I probably will phone them both in the next week or so, because I haven’t spoken to them for a while and it sounds like I should do.
“What would I like to say to them? ‘How are you?’ Whenever I meet them, see them, speak to them, it’s like we’ve spoken yesterday. My honest opinion is I think we miss each other.”
Meanwhile, Simon also revealed he is hoping to team up with former Girls Aloud singer Cheryl for a new TV talent show because he loved working with her on ‘The X Factor’.
He said: “Cheryl was brilliant on the show, great to work with, really good fun – and there might be something coming up where we might be working together, funnily enough.
“I can’t tell you much at the moment. I don’t think it will be on a streaming service, this one, and it won’t be ‘X Factor’. But it will be TV because Cheryl is great on TV. She’s fantastic.
“Just as Sharon and Louis were as well – they both did a brilliant job. I have a lot to be thankful for with both of them.
“The project I’m working with Cheryl on is in very early stages, and until it’s signed I’m really superstitious. Once it’s signed I couldn’t care less, but until then I try to keep things confidential.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rose Ayling-Ellis will help front the coverage of the Paralympics this summer.
The former ‘EastEnders’ actress – who won the 2021 series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ with Giovanni Pernice – will lead the team for Channel 4’s coverage of the competition in Paris, becoming the first deaf host, with the production team lined up to work with her able to communicate using sign language.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper’s Bizarre column: “It’s an exciting new move for Rose and she is really looking forward to getting stuck into the Paralympics and learning about all the sports and teams.
“Everyone on set will be able to sign language in a new move for the TV team.”
The news comes a few months after it was revealed the 29-year-old star will appear in a TV adaptation of the first ‘Tuva Moodyson’ novel by Will Dean, ‘Dark Pines’, which follows a deaf journalist attempting to solve mysterious murders in an isolated Swedish town
She said in a statement: “As soon as I read Charlotte’s scripts and then dived further into Will’s books, I just knew this was a role I wanted to play and a world I wanted to explore.”
The series, which is being helmed by the studio behind ‘Death in Paradise’, Red Planet Pictures, will also see her act as an executive producer alongside Belinda Campbell, Caroline Skinner and the show’s writer, Charlotte Jones.
As well as ‘Dine Pines’, Rose previously revealed she was working on a comedy-drama that centred around the London dating life of a deaf women.
She told Deadline: “This is something that hasn’t been spoken about. We hear a lot about being female and how women appear in the dating scene but as a deaf woman, it’s a very different experience. It will be nice to share that story.”
The TV star is also set to supervise a disabled writers’ room for the project, but has insisted that she will not be the sole writer, as she is currently “engaging with some exciting writers” to ensure the show stays as relatable and honest as possible.
She continued: “There are so many different people in the show and I can’t speak on behalf of their experiences so I wanted a team that could put it all together. I won’t exactly be going to the countryside to spend months writing this.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ITV has announced a new YouTube channel called ‘Celebs Up Close’.
The broadcaster will share clips of archived celebrity interviews from shows such as ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’, ‘Lorraine’ and ‘This Morning’ on the dedicated channel.
ITV told The Sun: “We have unlocked the ITV Studios catalogue and trawled the depths of the archive to bring you this exciting new channel.”
The channel officially launches on May 1 via www.youtube.com/@celebsupclose.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Ross previously admitted he’s “glad” he has never interviewed a member of the Royal Family
The ‘Masked Singer’ judge and talk show host is keen to not “get involved” with all their drama but has nothing but nice things about the royals, having “met them all”.
The 63-year-old star told the Metro newspaper’s Sixty Seconds column: “I’ve never interviewed anyone in the royal family and at the moment I’m quite glad that’s the case. I don’t want to get involved in other people’s business. I’ve met them all, though.
“I met the Queen several times, which always felt very special. Prince Philip was always quite funny. I think I met Harry briefly. I’ve met William a lot. I haven’t met Kate. I have met Andrew but we don’t talk about that any more. Charles I’ve met loads of times, and Camilla is a laugh.”
The comedian has invited celebrity guests to bare all on his eponymous talk show since 2011.
Jonathan has been competing with rival chat show host Graham Norton, 61, for years, and previously claimed his fellow TV presenter is ahead of the game in terms of booking movie stars.
He previously said of ‘The Graham Norton Show’ host: “I think Graham gets first bite of film guests.
“Some stars prefer his show over mine because they’re less protected on my programme. If they go on Graham’s, three guests all sit together on the sofa.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Attwood thought an offer for her to become a ‘Loose Women’ panelist “was a joke”.
The 32-year-old ‘Love Island’ star has confessed she’s been watching the show for years and thought it would be “surreal” to be a part of it despite having been a guest several times – and she was stunned to given a formal offer to join the panel last year.
She told OK! magazine: “It wasn’t something that was on the mood board. It all happened really organically. I was a guest on the show a couple of times, and I always loved it when I was.
“I joked to my agent saying ‘Imagine me as a Loose Woman’ and she said she really could. Then one of the show’s bosses got in touch and we went out for lunch, she asked me how I would feel about trying it out, and I said, ‘Oh my God, are you serious?’ I almost thought it was a joke.”
Olivia added: “I watched that show on TV when I was a kid, when I was off sick from school – my mum would always have it on the telly, so it’s quite surreal to be doing it now.”
She went on to insist she gets on well with all the other panelists and credits them with giving her plenty of tips and advice.
Olivia has carved out a successful career in TV following her stint in the ‘Love Island’ villa back in 2017 – filming her own series of documentaries for ITV exploring issues such as porn, trolling and beauty standards as well as shooting reality show ‘Olivia Marries Her Match’ about her wedding to Bradley Dack.

OHMYGOSSIP — The BBC has delayed the ‘EastEnders’ early morning iPlayer release on Monday (22.04.24) to include real footage from the London Marathon.
Cast members Emma Barton (Jay) and Jamie Borthwick (Honey) ran the race in real life on Sunday (21.04.24) and it’s also part of the storyline for the BBC One soap as they took part in memory of Lola (Danielle Harold), Jay’s wife who lost her battle with cancer after a heartbreaking brain tumour battle.
The episode will be available on the streaming platform at the later time of 1pm and on BBC One from 7.30pm.
EastEnders announced on social media: “Emma Barton and Jamie Borthwick have just completed the London Marathon for an upcoming storyline that will see their characters, Honey and Jay, take on the event in memory of their beloved Lola.
“As well as running on behalf of their chosen charities, Emma and Jamie run parts in character to film various scenes along the route. These scenes will be edited into the main show this evening and viewers will be able to watch the special scenes tomorrow (Monday 22nd April) from 1300 on BBC iPlayer and at 1930 on BBC One. @londonmarathon #LondonMarathon.”
Jamie said of the reason behind their run: “Over the last 18 months, we have seen a storyline where my [Jay’s] wife Lola, had developed a brain tumour. We just really tried to make it as real as we could and our lovely boss dropped the idea to us that maybe our characters would run the marathon.”
Emma said: “I think it’s a really clever idea that EastEnders have done to show what a lot of the people all over the country are doing. And that’s raising money for their charities or in memory of a loved one. As Honey and Jay are going to be running the London Marathon, we are going to be filmed live on the London Marathon day, which will then go into Monday April 22’s show at 7.30pm. This has never been done before in soap history.”
Asked if they were ready for filming during the race, Emma said : “We just have to treat it like any other scene of EastEnders, professionally, we’re gonna get it done and then we can relax for the last half.”
Emma ran on behalf of BBC Children in Need, whilst Jamie raised money for Prostate Cancer UK in memory of his relatives.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Not The Nine O’Clock News’ sketch writer Richard Sparks would love to see the show revived.
The hit sketch show was broadcast on BBC2 from 1979 to 1982, it originally started as an alternative to the Nine O’Clock News on BBC1 and featured satirical sketches on then-current news stories and popular culture, as well as parody songs, comedy sketches, re-edited videos, and spoof television formats.
The likes of Rowan Atkinson, Pamela Stephenson, Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones, and Chris Langham took part.
And Richard, who penned some of the sketches, would love to see the topical comedy show return after fellow satirical show ‘Spitting Image’ got revived in 2020 on BritBox.
He is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper’s HOT TV column as saying: “You could easily do a new series today.
“It’s simply satire. You just take the news and mock it.
“There are shows like that around and they revived Spitting Image.
“So there is room for good satire and good comedy.”
However, Richard insists there would be no point bringing back the programme if they can’t lay into politicians.
He continued: “I’m not in favour of censorship in any way.
“Comedians are meant to be lords of misrule and agents of disruption.
“If we go around flattering the politicians, it doesn’t do them or the audience any good.”
The ‘New Rock New Role’ author added: “The whole idea was to do topical news for the younger generation.
“So while the parents were watching the news, their kids were watching ‘Not The Nine O’Clock News’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Laura Anderson hopes to interview ‘Love Island’ super-fan Margot Robbie.
The 34-year-old TV star – who appeared in the 2018 series of the ITV programme – was left shocked after friends of the ‘Barbie’ actress, 33, reached out to her ahead of Margot’s birthday asking for a personal video message.
Now, Laura has revealed she is determined to capitalise on her ‘Love Island’ bond she shares with the Hollywood legend.
During an interview with the MailOnline, she said: “I would quite like to interview like Margot Robbie in the future because she’s a big fan of ‘Love Island’ and that would be quite cool because me and some of the other islanders from season 4 were asked by some of her friends to send them a video for her birthday once.
“She had a ‘Love Island’ themed birthday party on a yacht, and they played all of us saying happy birthday to her and she was so excited. The fact that she actually kind of knows who I am is very cool.
“They got a few people, but it was all our season and they sent us a video of her reaction. She was like, ‘Oh Laura’, you know saying my name and I was like, ‘Oh my God she knows who we are!’”
Laura isn’t the only ‘Love Island’ star Margot has come into contact with, as Chris Taylor – who appeared on the programme in 2019 – made a cameo as a Ken in ‘Barbie’, whilst Liberty Poole, David Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu met Margot at the UK premiere of the blockbuster.
Speaking to OK! magazine, he said: “It was really weird because she knew who we all were.
“She literally came over and gave me a hug and knew my name, it was really weird.
“We sat down and I started talking to her and she is literally the nicest person I’ve probably ever met in my life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Josie Gibson has insisted there is “no romance in the air” after rumours were sparked that she might be dating Stephen Mulhern.
The TV stars were seen holding hands outside the ITV Studios in London last week, where they filmed the final episode of ‘Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’.
However, Josie – who is a single mother to five-year-old son Reggie-James – has denied the reports and insisted she and the 47-year-old presenter are just “really good friends”.
Breaking her silence, she told OK! Magazine: “Stephen? Oh, he’s so lovely. We are really good friends, I really adore him, but there’s no romance in the air.
“But he’s so nice. Every bloke that I come in contact with, the press seems to think that I’m having it off with them. People must think I’m a right goer. I’m not like that.”
The ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ star went on to explain that she would only ever embark on a new romance or kiss someone if she was deeply in love.
She said: “To be with somebody or to even kiss somebody, I’ve really got to love them. I’ve really got to really be into them.
“I can’t give my energy over when I’m not completely into it. You know when you get that magic connection?
“For me it only comes around like once every seven years or eight years. I love the love because those are very, very special [moments] when you find them.”
Despite being a single mum, the 39-year-old star never feels lonely.
She added: “To be honest, since I’ve had him, I don’t suffer from that loneliness.
“I don’t really ever get lonely and that’s probably why it’s stopped me from finding somebody or dating anyone.
“He’s just filled a gap, like he’s filled a hole – something that I’ve always wanted.”
