Emma Willis let friends watch her labour tape

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Willis let her friends watch a video of her giving birth.
The 43-year-old TV presenter – who has kids Isabelle, 10, Ace, seven, and Trixie, three, with her husband, Busted musician Matt Willis – allowed some parents-to-be look at the tape of her having a baby, in order to prepare them.
She told The Sun newspaper: “We have friends at the minute who are expecting their first baby and the mum doesn’t want to find out the sex of the baby and the dad is obviously like, ‘Come on’.
“I said, ‘Watch the birth of Trixie and see if that will change your mind’.
“And he watched it, and when he hears Matt kind of choke up going, ‘It’s a girl’, he was like, ‘We’re not finding out, I need that moment in my life of surprise’.”
Meanwhile, Emma recently admitted she “probably” had PTSD after the birth of Isabelle because it was so traumatic.
Isabelle became stuck during the labour and her heartbeat dropped, resulting in a rotational forceps delivery having to be carried out which left Emma with injuries that took to heal.
She shared: “There was a lot of trauma afterwards. A lot of stitches. I couldn’t sit down for 12 weeks.”
Emma suffered a flashback to her own difficult delivery when she was filming scenes for her W television series ‘Emma Willis: Delivering Babies’ at the Princess Alexandra NHS hospital in Essex, England.
After witnessing a woman having a vaginal tear repaired it made her faint and she was urged by the maternity ward team to talk about her own frightening labour.
‘The Voice’ host said: “It was very much like looking at yourself, and my body’s response was just total horror and I just hit the floor.
“It hadn’t been great but I went, ‘There are worse situations that could have happened.’ ”
When put to her that she could have had PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder), Emma replied: “It probably was. But my default for PTSD goes to soldiers. Birth is such a common thing you don’t think about it in those terms.”

Hollyoaks hints Joel Dexter could be next Breda McQueen victim

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Hollyoaks’ has hinted Joel Dexter could be Breda McQueen’s next victim.
The mass murderer – played by Moya Brady in the Channel 4 soap – has already bumped off eight villagers as part of her mission to rid the area of bad dads, and Rory Douglas-Speed, who plays priest Joel, has dropped a huge hint his alter-ego may be next.
He said: “This summer Breda finds out about Joel and Goldie [McQueen, Chelsee Healey] and she’s not best pleased. Will Joel be Breda’s next victim?”
Breda certainly looks set to strike again as Moya hinted someone will be “snuffed out” on the soap this summer.
Speaking in a creepy behind-the-scenes teaser clip, she said: “For the evil-doer has no future hope; and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out.”
Breda’s latest killing saw her unexpectedly bump off Harry Thompson (Parry Glasspool) after finding out he planned to run out on his newborn son.
Following his time on the soap, Parry paid tribute to his former co-stars.
He said: “My time at ‘Hollyoaks’ has been a rollercoaster, which has helped me grow both as a performer and a person.
“I’m so grateful to have worked with and learnt from the likes of Nick Pickard, Kieron Richardson and Gregory Finnegan, whose combined experience has been invaluable to me.
“Thank you also to our executive producer Bryan Kirkwood who gives us all so much support, it’s been brilliant to be part of the ‘Hollyoaks’ team.”
Breda had initially set out to kill Harry’s dad Tony Hutchinson (Nick), but her attention was then drawn to Harry.
Parry added: “As a side note, I really do hope someone, anyone finds out what Breda has been doing – because now it’s personal.”

Jack Fincham reveals reason for Dani Dyer breakup

OHMYGOSSIP — Jack Fincham has revealed his relationship with Dani Dyer was moving too fast.
The former ‘Love Island’ sweethearts won the ITV2 dating show last year and while the 28-year-old star insists they had a “genuine connection”, he has opened up on where their romance went wrong after leaving the villa.
Speaking to ‘Celebs Go Dating’ agents Anna Williamson and Paul C. Brunson on last night’s (08.08.19) episode, he said: “If we had lived in ‘Love Island’ forever, we’d have been fine. We rushed it straight away, we moved in together. I did want to [move in with her] but I wish we had waited.
“I let her rush me a little bit. We had a genuine connection in there and I think anyone can see that. Honestly, and I mean this, I wish her all the happiness in the world. I’m not a bitter person.”
However, Jack admitted he is definitely “over” his former flame and wants to move on and “meet someone” new after being out of the dating game for a while.
He added: “Oh, 100 per cent I’m over Dani and now I want to go and meet someone. I’ve missed out on so much dating, I haven’t done it in over a year.”
Since the end of their relationship, Dani has reunited with former boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, and she fired back at critics who thought she was being unfair by confirming the rekindled romance on social media earlier this year.
She wrote on Instagram: “I’m not going to delete anyone’s comments. You all can say what you want to say honestly we live in a free world. But I’m so f happy.
“I ain’t living a life to prove to people or to fake to people I am something I am not I’ve always been real. Some people like it some people don’t.
“I’m focusing on number one. No time for anything no plans made it’s just happened and you can judge all you want. But come on I’m the real mf judge Judy (sic).”

Lauren Harries to be first celebrity on Naked Attraction

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Harries is going to be the first celebrity to appear on ‘Naked Attraction’.
The transgender personality – who participated in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ in 2013 and came third – is joining the Channel 4 show as one of the naked singletons looking for love but producers are keeping the exact details of her appearance a “surprise”.
A TV insider said: “Given the format of ‘Naked Attraction’, we aren’t going to say which episode she will be appearing on as we want to maintain the surprise.”
The 41 year old’s naked body will be slowly revealed from behind a screen and a lucky picker will then get to choose if they want to take her on a date.
The insider added to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre TV column: “Lauren isn’t the first trans contestant on the show but she’s definitely the first celebrity that’s been on.
“And she makes a big impression during her upcoming episode – in fact it’s probably one of the best ‘Naked Attractions’ ever.”
‘Naked Attraction’ – which was praised for breaking barriers after including two transgender contestants in 2017 – will return to TV on August 21.
Meanwhile Lauren previously revealed she was raped just “weeks” after undergoing gender reassignment surgery in 2001.
She said: “It was very traumatic – straight after surgery. I was lonely and I was in a bar and met a nice-looking man who paid me lots of compliments. He said he had heard me on the radio and that I was very brave.
“He introduced me to his wife. I thought they were just fans. I ended up drinking with them – I was lonely and vulnerable. At the end of the evening, the man took me back to my hotel and raped me. I never reported it to the police – I never thought it would do any good. I suppose I thought they might think I had asked for it.
“Admittedly, I did not always make the best choices after my transition. I went out on my own to test myself and at times it was quite brutal. But it made me realise that I should concentrate on my career and not be out searching for Mr Right.”

James Earl Jones to star in Coming To America sequel

OHMYGOSSIP — James Earl Jones is returning for the ‘Coming To America’ sequel.
The 88-year-old actor has joined forces with Eddie Murphy once again to appear in the hotly-anticipated sequel to 1988’s ‘Coming to America’ and is set to reprise his role as King Jaffe Joffer of Zamunda.
Murphy is to reprise his role as the King’s son, Prince Akeem, a prince from a fictional African nation who travels to New York to try to escape an arranged marriage and find a wife.
According to Deadline, Paul Bates will also be returning to play Oha, Prince Akeem’s stiff-upper-lipped manservant and bodyguard while award-winning rapper Rick Ross has joined the cast in an unknown role.
It was previously announced that Wesley Snipes will be boarding the cast as new character General Izzi.
Craig Brewer will direct the project for Paramount, and Murphy will produce alongside Kevin Misher and Kenya Barris.
Murphy said in a statement: “After many years of anticipation, I’m thrilled that ‘Coming to America 2’ is officially moving forward. We’ve assembled a great team that will be led by Craig Brewer, who just did an amazing job on ‘Dolemite [Is My Name]’, and I’m looking forward to bringing all these classic and beloved characters back to the big screen.”
Barris added: “Craig’s ability to create a distinct cinematic world with each of his films is not only impressive but also what made him exactly the voice and vision we needed to bring this story to life.
“From ‘Hustle & Flow’ to his work with Eddie on ‘Dolemite Is My Name’, he never fails to blow me away. He is a true auteur and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have him on board.”
The original film also starred Shari Headley, and John Amos.

Caleb McLaughlin to join Idris Elba in Concrete Cowboys

OHMYGOSSIP — Caleb McLaughlin is set to join Idris Elba in ‘Concrete Cowboys’.
The 17-year-old actor will act opposite Idris, 46, in the adaptation of Greg Neri’s award-winning novel ‘Ghetto Cowboy’ and Ricky Staub will make his directorial feature debut with the motion picture.
Staub and Dan Walser have penned the screenplay for the film, which will tell the story of 15-year-old Cole who seeks solace in urban horseback riding after he is forced to live with his estranged father in North Philadelphia surrounded by poverty and violence.
Elba previously said of the project: “Ricky and Dan’s brilliant script combines the energy and grit of an urban movie with the poetry and romance of the urban cowboy way of life.”
The ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ star will produce the drama movie under his Green Door Pictures banner alongside Jeff Waxman, Jen Madeloff, Sam Mercer, Tegan Jones and Walser.
Staub previously said: “This story was built out of a deep friendship and collaboration with the riders of North Philly, and I couldn’t be more excited to honour their legacy with this film.”
Caleb rose to fame as Lucas Sinclair in the Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’ and earlier this year confessed that “no one really knows” what’s in store for the hit sci-fi show.
He said: “I talk to people about this all the time, we can literally leave you guys hanging on the Upside Down.
“No one really knows what the Upside Down is, we just know what comes from it, like Demagorgons and like the Mind Flayer, but the Upside Down is an alternate dimension of our world.
“Our world is so big so there’s more than just Demadogs, and Demagorgons and Mind Flayers, so no one really knows.”

Claire King appreciates Alex Lincoln’s height to hide chin

OHMYGOSSIP — Claire King is glad her ‘Emmerdale’ co-star Alex Lincoln is taller than her – because acting alongside him stops her double chin from being on show.
The 57-year-old star – who plays soap super-bitch Kim Tate in the ITV show – was pleasantly surprised to find out Alex’s (Jamie Tate) measurements, and admits he has become “a hit” with the girls at her real-life stable.
She said: “I love Alex. The good thing about Alex as well is that he’s a few inches taller than me – as actors tend to be small – so it stops my double chin showing.
“He’s also a hit with the girls at my stable at home.”
Claire praised the “talented” star, and she likes to compare him to a little puppy because he is “sweet, soft and scatty”.
She added to Inside Soap magazine: “He’s so sweet and soft and scatty, and ditsy – he’ll trip over his own feet!
“He’s like a Labrador puppy and so talented.”
Claire recently teased fans they can expect Kim to clash with long-time associate Graham Foster (Andrew Scarborough) following a new business partnership.
She said: “There is a Kim and Graham story coming up, which does involve family, but also Kim goes into partnership with a new guy who she worked with in Dubai when she went away on a business holiday.
“They’re very, very similar, so whether they will click together or explode, who knows? Also, Graham doesn’t like it too much, as he feels it’s encroaching on his turf!”

Megan Barton-Hanson and Demi Sims ‘appear to confirm romance’ with kiss

OHMYGOSSIP — Megan Barton Hanson and Demi Sims appear to have confirmed their relationship with a passionate kiss.
The ‘Celebs Go Dating’ pair were spotted snogging in front of a crowd at the E4 show’s wrap party this week, and an insider claimed they have “made it official”.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Megan and Demi are really happy together and a proper good match.
“At the party they couldn’t keep their hands off each other and were snogging like teenagers.
“They made it official last night and picked each other and not their dates.”
The ‘Only Way Is Essex’ star Demi recently confessed she definitely fancies the ‘Love Island’ beauty – but suggested her friend is “a lot more nervous” about dating girls.
She said: “Megan is older than me but the girls thing is a lot newer for her. I think she is a lot more nervous dating girls because it is new to her.
“I’m a little bit more experienced. I lay everything out while she is a lot more reserved. We went on a double date with guys but had more fun together. We really fancy each other and there is a spark there.”
And the 22-year-old television personality insists Megan is her type.
She added: “Megan is definitely my type. She is a very pretty girl, you can’t deny that and she has a cute personality. We are just going to see what happens.
“I’ve never dated anyone in the public eye so I’m not sure how that would pan out, so we will just have to see. If we did start seeing each other properly I’m sure Chloe would approve. I don’t see why she wouldn’t.”

Karen Hauer is ‘happy’ for ex Kevin Clifton and Stacey Dooley

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Clifton’s ex-wife Karen Hauer is “happy that he’s happy” with Stacey Dooley.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro’s three-year marriage broke down in 2018, and there were rumours about a romance between Kevin and his celebrity partner on the show, which they eventually confirmed after lifting the Glitterball Trophy together at the end of the year.
Opening up about her former flame’s new relationship for the first time, Karen told FUBAR Radio: “I don’t really know anything about that.
“When we go in [to rehearsals] we’re literally going crazy with all the routines. But you know what he looks extremely happy, so I’m happy that he’s happy.”
The 37-year-old dancer insisted it isn’t awkward working with her ex on the BBC’s Latin and ballroom competition, and she doesn’t want any “drama”.
She added: “Most people think that we’d be like ‘oh I don’t like it’, but no. Not at all. We laugh. There is no drama. I don’t like drama baby llama! I’m happy, he’s happy, let’s all be happy.”
Stacey, 32, recently described her romance with Kevin, 36, as “amazing”, insisting she is “happy” and feels “very lucky” to have him.
She said: “Kev and I have agreed not to go into too much detail about our private lives because you can’t really indulge that and then ask for privacy.
“That’s why we’ve turned down interviews that have offered us tens of thousands of pounds. What I am happy to say is Kev’s amazing, I’m happy, life happens, I’ve got an amazing career and I’m very lucky.”
And Stacey thought she deserved to win the prestigious Glitterball Trophy because she “worked really hard” to triumph in the series, and had no idea how to do the waltz before starring on the show.
Opening up about last year’s ‘Strictly’ final, she said: “I thought, ‘Why not? Someone’s got to win it.’ Yes! [I deserved to win] I worked really hard. I didn’t know how to waltz beforehand, I didn’t know what a ballroom frame looked like.”

Coronation Street to air historic sex abuse storyline

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Coronation Street’ is set to air an historic sex abuse storyline about Peter Ash’s character Paul Foreman.
The upcoming plot will explore the devastating effects such a horrific incident can have within a family, with Gemma Winter’s (Dolly-Rose Campbell) world torn apart when it’s revealed her twin brother Paul was sexually abused by their stepfather Kel (Joe Alessi).
The siblings’ stepdad comes back into their lives in the coming weeks when their mum Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) is reunited with her ex, but it becomes obvious Paul is unnerved by the return.
As a young teenager, he was abused by Kel and the innocent boy was groomed into believing it was a consensual relationship.
However, when Paul’s partner Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank)) discovers what happened and points out he was a young child and was sexually abused, the storyline will see Paul struggle to come to terms with what happened, and he ultimately fight for justice.
‘Corrie’ boss Iain MacLeod said: “Gemma and Paul’s family background has always been fascinating to me – the inseparable bond of twins but with a huge fault-line down the middle, which we’ve hinted at but never explained.
“This story sensitively explores something that is tragically all too common in families in the real world and will highlight the way these painful events still reverberate many years later.
“It will, I hope, allow people who have survived similar abuse and perhaps suffered in silence to find their voice and speak up.
“It will also showcase the brilliant talents of Peter Ash, Dolly-Rose Campbell, Jane Hazlegrove and ‘Corrie’ newcomer Joe Alessi in some incredibly challenging, powerful scenes. I am very proud of this story.”
Peter revealed he worked with Survivors Manchester to research the storyline, and he also asked co-star Jack P. Shepherd for advice.
He added: “I have known about this storyline for some time so have had the opportunity to speak to Duncan Craig at Survivors Manchester in advance of filming which has been great.
“His experience was really similar to Paul’s so it was invaluable for me to be able to talk about all the conflicting emotions and not accepting or realising it was abuse until later on in life.
“I have also spoken to Jack P. Shepherd about how he found filming the male rape storyline and he told me about the increase in calls to Survivors Manchester off the back of it which is incredible. It’s an important storyline and I want to get it right.”

Darren Gough ‘had 40 minutes to live’ after scorpion bite

OHMYGOSSIP — Darren Gough had just 40 minutes to live after being bitten by a scorpion.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ champion – who won the glitterball trophy 14 years ago with pro partner Lilia Kopylova – was on a safari in South Africa recently and had to be rushed to hospital with real fears he wouldn’t make it.
Speaking on his Talksport radio show, the retired cricketer said: “I was told that as we didn’t know which type of scorpion it was, you couldn’t tell if it was the fatal sort or not.
“We were too far from a hospital for treatment even if they scrambled a helicopter it would take 40 minutes to reach us – I would be dead on arrival.”
Darren, 47, felt the sting while he was in bed with his wife Anna, and he joked she just went back to sleep after the scary incident.
He added: “So I just sat there and waited – the missus just turned over and went back to sleep.
“I had hit the scorpion with my phone, but it was on the bed so it did it no harm – it must have just been like a giant trampoline for the bug.
“I spent 30 minutes looking for it, but didn’t see it again. Luckily it was the non-fatal type. I can still feel the lump where it got me more than a week later.”
While Darren won the main ‘Strictly’ competition in 2005, that same year he also emerged victorious in the Christmas Special – a feat he went on to repeat two years later.

And in a clip shared on the official ‘Hollyoaks’ account, Malique revealed he would miss working with Owen Warner (Romeo Quinn).
He said: “I just wanted to say I’m going to miss loads of people, working with them everyday, especially people like Owen.
“There’s so many memories that I’m going to take with me as well, for all the stunts and everything.
“What I’m going to miss the most is just the atmosphere coming to work. You don’t see it as work being at ‘Hollyoaks’, it’s all fun.”
Malique confirmed his exit in June as he looks to pursue other acting roles as well as his music interests, but he admitted at the time the door is open for a return.
He previously said: “The door is open. My character is still alive so you never know.”

Hollyoaks: Diane Hutchinson faces heart-breaking dilemma

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex Fletcher says Diane Hutchinson faces a heartbreaking dilemma over her son Finn O’Connor’s release from prison.
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress has opened up about the decision her alter-ego will have to make when her on-screen stepson – who is played by Keith Rice – is freed and wants help with rehousing.
Speaking in a behind-the-scenes clip, Alex said: “Coming up this summer, Diane is faced with a really, really difficult decision.
“Finn has been released from prison, so should she take him back into the family home? Or, is she going to turn her back on him?
“That will impact the whole village, especially Sinead and Tony. You’ll have to wait and see.”
Viewers saw Finn most recently involved in a violent scrap with his sister Sinead’s (Stephanie Davis) rapist Laurie Shelby (Kyle Pyror), and their prison van crashed as a result of the brawl.
Although Finn only suffered minor injuries, Laurie later died after attempting to kidnap Sinead.
Keith confirmed his return as Finn – who was jailed in 2014 for raping his teacher, John Paul McQueen (James Sutton) and attempting to rape Nancy Osborne (Jess Fox) – earlier this year, and he admitted he was “really intrigued” to see what the future holds for his character.
He previously said: “I’m so excited to be back, and to be working with the talented ‘Hollyoaks’ cast and crew again.
“I’m really intrigued to see how Finn, following his time in prison, will integrate back into his family and also back into society.
“I’m looking forward to exploring it, and also still giving the storyline the respect and sensitivity it deserves.”

Belle Hassan eyes up pop career, beauty range and more

OHMYGOSSIP — Belle Hassan wants to launch a pop career after rising to fame on ‘Love Island’.
The 21-year-old beauty appeared on the ITV2 dating show this summer in the search for romance, and now her famous father Tamer – known for his roles in the likes of ‘The Football Factory’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ – has revealed his daughter is looking at how to capitalise on the opportunities in front of her.
Speaking to ‘Access All Areas’ host Stephen Leng on FUBAR Radio, he said: “She wants to do make-up. She wants her own swimwear brand and she is pressing my buttons for a singing career, could you believe it!
“She is a phenomenal make-up artist, she wants to open an academy, bless her. She wants to set up ‘Make-up by Belle’ and she wants to do sort of lingerie/swimwear and a clothing range and she’s literally been inundated.”
The music industry is notoriously competitive, but Tamer – who promised to help Belle as much as possible with his contacts in the world of entertainment – thinks his daughter has what it takes to make it.
He added: “She’s got an amazing voice. She’s very raw. She’s not sort of, she’s not a pro singer but she’s got the basics of becoming something really special.
“She can dance, sing, act. She’s got all of it. I’ll do everything I can to open doors, support you and guide you the best I can.”
Meanwhile, Belle recently revealed it was actually her dad who helped her get on ‘Love Island’ in the first place.
She previously said: “I had a conversation with my dad and he asked me if I wanted to do the show.
“I didn’t really think much of it and before I knew it one of his friends [got me in contact] with someone at ITV, and then I did the audition and started the application process.”

Todrick Hall joins Greatest Dancer as new captain

OHMYGOSSIP — Todrick Hall has joined ‘The Greatest Dancer’ as the new fourth captain.
The US choreographer, actor, musician and director – who has worked with global superstars like Beyonce and Taylor Swift – will join Cheryl, Matthew Morrison and Oti Mabuse on the panel for the upcoming second series of the BBC One show.
Todrick said: “Thrilled does not even begin to explain how excited I am to be joining the cast and crew of ‘The Greatest Dancer’.

“I’m looking forward to working with the upcoming talent and to join the BBC family for the second season of a show that has proven to be a huge, smashing success.”
The original trio of captains will be back when the show returns in 2020 for a second season, and Cheryl is looking forward to seeing how Todrick settles in.
She gushed: “I am so excited to be back, I absolutely loved it last series and this year promises to be even more amazing, especially with the addition of Todrick, who I’m obsessed with!”
Meanwhile, former ‘Glee’ star Matthew Morrison described the first series as “a privilege” as he promised season two will be even better than its predecessor.

Anna Williamson slams Love Island stars

OHMYGOSSIP — Anna Williamson claims some of the ‘Love Island’ contestants “have pound signs in their eyes” and don’t care about finding love.
The ‘Celebs Go Dating’ relationship guru has taken a brutal jab at the likes of Maura Higgins, 28, and Curtis Pritchard, 23, for being too focused on their money-making careers and insisted her own show is much more “natural”.
She told The Sun Online:”A lot of the ‘Love Islanders’ have pound signs in their eyes and you can see that. On ‘Celebs Go Dating there are no story lines or scripts.
“The celebrities aren’t prompted like on Love Island. It all happens naturally.”
The 48-year-old presenter insisted she is a “massive fan” of ‘Love Island’ but believes it is more of a “game show” than a way of finding lasting love.
Anna continued: “There is absolutely more chance of finding real love on ‘Celebs Go Dating’ rather than ‘Love Island’.
“I’m a massive fan of the show but it is more of a game show. You get a big pay packet and you know if you are single you get kicked off which automatically means people start playing a game.”
The former ‘Toonattik’ presenter said the Islanders are “too obsessed with money and fame” and slammed Curtis for chasing the “celeb world”.
Anna said: “Curtis is absolutely playing a game. He’s no stranger to the celeb world. He’s had a sniff of it because of his brother AJ being on ‘Strictly’ and he wants some himself.”
However, the dating coach believes Tommy Fury, 20, and Molly-Mae Hague, 19, are in love but thinks their relationship will fizzle out.
She said: “Tommy and Molly obviously have genuine feelings for each other and will do all the magazines when they come out but do I think it will last? No I don’t.”
