OHMYGOSSIP — Nadiya Hussain has had to have panic buttons installed in her home after receiving death threats.
The 39-year-old chef – who has Musa, 12, Dawud, 11, and Mariam, eight, with husband Abdal – shot to fame as the winner of ‘The Great British Bake Off’ in 2015 and has gone on to host a string of culinary programmes but revealed that she has had to take drastic measures to protect herself and her children since she ended up in the public eye.
Speaking on the ‘Should I Delete That?’ podcast, she said: “We’ve had to have panic buttons put in. I was getting descriptions of how I and my children should die. The most horrific things. When we go out, we’re careful..”
The ‘Nadiya Bakes’ star recently explained that she “never expected” the success that came her way after her victory on the BBC programme.
She told OK! Magazine: “I never imagined I would be where I am today. I am loving every second. When I wrote my first cookbook I thought, ‘Well, this is the first and only cookbook I will ever write,’ and here I am, still writing cookbooks. So that is pretty special. I don’t take it for granted. kept saying to everyone in the crew, ‘You guys have a much harder job than I do.’ And they were like, ‘You realise that none of us can do what you do? Like none of us can do what you do.’ I’m like, ‘That’s not true…’ And a few years ago, it dawned on me that you can’t do this unless you’re good at it. I have to believe I’m good at it. I can’t run on luck forever!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stacey Solomon could be about to crack America.
The 34-year-old presenter has carved out a successful career in the UK since she appeared as a contestant on ‘The X Factor’ in 2009 and currently fronts ‘Sort Your Life Out’ for the BBC but now that she is to take the reins on the Reese Witherspoon-produced ‘Renovation Rescue’ for Channel 4, insiders have predicted that she could also become a household name across the pond.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Renovation shows are a mega business in America. There are entire channels dedicated to them.
“And they love Brits. ‘Bake Off’ is popular in the States because Americans love Paul and Prue’s Britishness.
“‘Grand Designs’ is also very popular in America because of Kevin McCloud.
“They think viewers will fall for Stacey’s English charm, and the Reese connection is a big enabler.
“They launched a UK arm of ‘Hello Sunshine’ to create formats that could sell in Britain first then around the world. It’s all set up.”
Towards the end of last month, ‘Loose Women’ panellist Stacey was left shocked to learn that she would be working with Hollywood star Reese on the project.
She told MailOnline: “Oh my God, what an amazing feeling to be asked. I was genuinely like, ‘How does she even know me?’ I still to this day don’t know how they found me. They just said they wanted me. Maybe some of her researchers and her team had seen the show. Well, they would have had to, I guess, to know anything about me.
“I haven’t actually met her. She wrote a message to say how excited she is and we’re hoping to FaceTime her on the day the show goes out. She seems pretty busy changing the world for women in our industry, so that’s OK, I’ll let her off for not coming to Bradford to see us shooting an episode!”
In ‘Renovation Rescue’ Stacey helps couples who have been abandoned by untrustworthy tradespeople.
She said: “Don’t get me wrong, there are always going to be jobs where the professionals are needed. I can’t build a house myself.
“There are so many amazing tradesmen out there, but they’re hard to find and if you don’t know what you’re looking for, you can end up spending loads of money and never getting anything back, which is just devastating.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kaye Adams is “proud” of her strong bladder.
The 61-year-old journalist – who is best known as a long-serving anchor on ITV’s ‘Loose Women’ – revealed that her bladder is “excellent” and that it is the “only thing” she has left to brag to friends about because she doesn’t have to get up in the middle of the night to use the toilet.
Speaking on her ‘How to Be 60’ podcast, she said: “The only thing that I’m still proud of is my bladder. I’ve got an excellent bladder. My pelvic floor is shot to bits but I can sleep through the night and now I have friends of a similar age who talk about getting up in the middle of the night. Instead of boasting about my arms or my boobs or whatever I tell them that I have got an excellent bladder.”
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contestant had been to a Pilates class just before recording her podcast and explained she had a sudden realistion that she could no longer see her ribs so when she got home she stood in front of her mirror naked trying to spot them.
She said: “I was at my Pilates during the week, and I was doing very well, very proud of myself because I’m at least double the age of anyone else in the class and I kept up pretty well. But of course, all of the other young women have got their crop tops on. And there’s no way I’m going for a crop top.
“So did the Pilates, all good, feeling good and all the rest of it and you do a stretch at the end. I’m looking at all the young girls with all the crop tops thinking ‘F****** hell, you’ve got ribs!’
“I have not seen my ribs…I can’t remember the last time…I can feel them, I just can’t see them.
“I came home, had a shower and was standing in front of the mirror naked with my hands in the air trying to see my ribs. And I couldn’t see them. When I brought them down, the gravity was quite painful!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Casey O’Gorman hasn’t been on a date since leaving ‘Love Island’.
The 27-year-old reality star took part in the hit ITV2 dating series in January 2023 and returned for the ‘All Stars’ version of the show earlier this year but revealed that is no longer a “serial dater” because of the pitfalls of being in the public eye.
He told OK!: “I used to be this serial dater and would go on dates two or three days a week before I went on ‘Love Island’, but now I’ve not been on one since I came out of the villa.
“I don’t really like to anymore unless it’s something serious and with a girl I like. Otherwise, we get seen at a restaurant and someone takes a picture and then it just fizzles out, or I get seen with a girl and it’s like ‘sparks romance rumours.”
But Casey – who was coupled up with the likes of Lana Jenkins during his initial stint and then with Eve Gale for a period of time on the ‘All Stars’ version – is keen to follow in the footsteps of his fellow Islanders by appearing on shows like ‘Celebs Go Dating’ in a bid to find romance.
He said: “I think I would. I know people, like Josh Ritchie who’s done ‘Celebs Go Dating’ and he said it’s good fun.
“And I feel like I’d love something like that because at the end of the day any chance in getting myself a girlfriend that’s something that might benefit me, and maybe something were I’m paired up with someone by dating experts that could maybe be better for me.
“I’ve never had a dating specialist organise a date for me before so why not give it a go? I mean anything’s better than my current situation now.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Netflix is splashing out £10million to secure huge stars for new reality show ‘Bear Hunt’.
Holly Willoughby will front the celebrity competition show, which will see famous faces face off against survival expert Bear Grylls in various challenges in the South American jungle and Netflix bosses are sparing no expense to make it a success.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “On similar celebrity-led challenge shows like ‘Strictly’ and ‘I’m a Celeb’, the line-ups often vary from little-known people to established stars.
“Netflix are determined their collection will be largely killer, with very little filler. They’re not scrimping on paying six-figure fees and aren’t afraid to cough up more for the biggest names.
“They’ll be shelling out an eight-figure sum in all, so the cast will be one of the most expensive in reality TV history.”
The show will air on the streaming service next year.
Netflix previously announced on Instagram: “Introducing Bear Hunt – this new action-packed competition show sees a group of unlikely British celebrities dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for one of the world’s most fearsome predators… @beargrylls! Hosted by @hollywilloughby – coming to Netflix in 2025.”
Holly then shared the post on her Instagram Story with the caption: “Breaking News”.
A source told The Sun newspaper the show was a “significant challenge” for Holly as it will mark her first show away from terrestrial television.
The 43-year-old star was first mooted as host of the show in January.
A source said at the time: “Bear is working with a production company for Netflix. They want Holly to host.
“A group of celebrities will be put into a jungle where they will have to tackle a series of challenges.
“She is very glamorous and an accomplished host.
“Holly is open to offers. She won’t be rushing into anything and will be carefully cherry-picking her next projects.”
It won’t be Holly’s first time presenting in the jungle, after she co-hosted one series of ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ in 2018 alongside Declan Donnelly, temporarily taking the place of Dec’s regular co-presenter Ant McPartlin.
