ITV bans all-male comedy writing teams

OHMYGOSSIP — ITV has banned all-male comedy writing teams.
The British broadcaster’s head of comedy, Saskia Schuster – who has worked on shows including ‘Benidorm’ and ‘Celebrity Juice’ – has announced the channel will no longer be commissioning comedy shows that have all-male writers rooms in a new bid for equality and a greater representation of women.
Speaking at Channel 4’s Diverse Festival on Monday (17.06.19), Saskia said: “Too often the writing room is not sensitively run. It can be aggressive and slightly bullying.
“The first thing I did was I changed my terms of commissioning. I won’t commission anything with an all-male writing team.”
Writer Brona C. Titley – who works on ‘Celebability’ – also said: “If you have the same type of writers in terms of race or sexual orientation or gender, then you’re only getting one kind of joke.
“You want to represent the wide audience that’s watching. You want diversity in voice, or else it won’t be as funny because it won’t be appealing to as many people.”
This news comes after Saskia recently started the initiative Comedy 50:50, which aims to get more women into writing for comedy, because they are “systemically under represented” and it “distorts” people’s “view of the real world”.
She said in a statement: “ERA 50:50 wants to see women represented on screen, in television and theatre in equal numbers to men.
“Currently women are systemically under represented. This does not accurately represent our society. It distorts our view of the real world. Equal representation for Actresses, for Audiences, for All. Equal means 50:50.”

Sam Womack ‘struggles’ with ‘sensationalist’ storylines

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Womack “struggled” with “sensationalist” storylines on ‘EastEnders’.
The 46-year-old star played out a controversial baby swap storyline on the BBC One soap in 2011, and while the Ronnie Mitchell star admits the plot – in which her character swapped her dead child James Branning with Kat Moon’s (Jessie Wallace) newborn son, Tommy Moon, after the youngster died of sudden infant death syndrome within days of being born – was “hard to act”, she found it “enjoyable”.
When asked about the baby swap plot, she said: “It was hard to act but it was also enjoyable as it was such a meaty storyline.
“Generally, though, I prefer more realistic issues and struggle with the sensationalist ones.”
Sam’s time on ‘EastEnders’ came to an end over the new year in 2017 when Ronnie was killed off alongside her sister Roxy Mitchell (Rita Simons), and the star was disappointed her alter-ego died because she was “hoping to go back” onto the soap at some point.
She said: “It was hard to have a character killed that I loved and I was hoping to go back at some later stage.
“It is always sad to leave your friends and they became family over the years but I am still very close to Rita and speak to her four times a day.”
But since leaving Albert Square, Sam “hasn’t stopped working”, including starring in movie ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’.
She added to the Eastern Daily Press: “It has been good and I haven’t stopped working – I did ‘The Addams Family’ all of last year and there has also been the ‘Kingsman’ films and ‘Silent Witness’ and then I’ve gone straight to this show [‘The Girl on the Train’].”

Toy Story 4 director felt ‘numb’ after seeing Tom Hanks watch film

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Toy Story 4′ director Josh Cooley says he felt “numb” after seeing Tom Hanks’ reaction to the film.
The 39-year-old filmmaker became emotional at the US premiere of the Disney/Pixar movie after turning to look at the 62-year-old Hollywood star – who has voiced cowboy doll Woody in the animated franchise since 1995 – and seeing him with a “huge smile” on his face.
Speaking to the Metro.co.uk, he said: “Recently we had the US premiere and I had Tom [Hanks] sitting right in front of me the entire time, and he hadn’t seen the movie yet. When it was over, he turned around and had a huge smile, and shook my hand. I was so numb. I can’t quite remember what he said, but it was positive.”
The ‘Inside Out’ writer went on to explain that although he was daunted by the prospect of taking on such a well-loved film series, the movie’s “great cast” – which features the likes of Tim Allen as Space Ranger action figure Buzz Lightyear and Keanu Reeves playing new character Duke Caboom – were able to help him “steer” the film in the right direction.
Cooley said: “It was pretty daunting. It’s like, ‘Here’s a brand new Lamborghini. Go as fast as you can and don’t scratch it.’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t have a licence!’ But I had a great cast and a great crew that helped me steer that Lamborghini straight back home.”
Hanks recently opened up about the making of ‘Toy Story 4’, and he described his final scenes as “profound”.
He previously said: “I didn’t want to have any self-consciousness for what I knew was going to be the … last few hours I was spending with the movie.
“When it came to pass, I felt as though I was on the other side of the river waving to everybody I had left back in the old country. It was pretty profound.”

Gary Lineker to make World War II documentary

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Lineker is to make a World War II documentary to find out why his grandfather and other troops were called “D-Day Dodgers”.
The 58-year-old TV presenter is on a quest to discover why his grandfather, Stanley Abbs – who served in the Royal Army Medical Corps in Italy and fought at the Battle of Monte Cassino – was branded the cruel name, a term used for troops serving in Italy suggesting cowardice and avoiding real combat.
In a statement, Gary said: “My grandfather never talked to me about the war, but I’ve since discovered a little about what happened to him and his colleagues.
“Seventy-five years on, it’s important that we don’t forget the lessons and horrors of war.”
The ‘Match of the Day’ host will ask why the veterans of the D-Day landings in Normandy have “gone down in history as heroes”, but men like his grandfather “were treated by some as second-class veterans and told they had it easy”, and reveal “heroic, deeply personal and harrowing stories”.
BBC content director Charlotte Moore said: “This documentary will show how individuals’ lives can be changed forever by global conflicts and yet when they return home their sacrifice is too easily forgotten.”
Abigail Priddle, BBC commissioning editor, admitted the documentary will examine his grandfather’s journey and allow viewers to have a “greater understanding” of how this conflict “shaped a generation”.
She added: “So many of us have that sense of curiosity about what our grandparents did in the war.
“Following in his grandfather’s footsteps, Gary will learn more about how his family contributed to the Allies’ success in World War II and allow us all to get a greater understanding of how this conflict shaped a generation.”
‘Gary Lineker: My Grandad’s Untold War’ will be a one-hour film for BBC One.

Sherif Lanre claims Love Island bosses ‘won’t have told Islanders why he left’

OHMYGOSSIP — Sherif Lanre claims ‘Love Island’ bosses “definitely wouldn’t have told” his fellow Islanders the reason he left the villa.
The 20-year-old reality star was axed from the ITV2 dating show last week after accidentally kicking Molly-Mae Hague in the crotch and calling it a “**** punt” – and he doesn’t believe his fellow contestants are aware of the reason for his exit, explaining it wasn’t deemed a serious incident at the time because Molly-Mae “wasn’t in any pain and she wasn’t injured”.
Speaking on BBC podcast ‘The Reality Tea’, he said: “Everyone continued as normal, it was right before bed.
“I know almost 100 per cent that [Molly] didn’t make a complaint because she wasn’t in any pain and she wasn’t injured.”
Asked if the Islanders would have been told the reason, he said: “They definitely wouldn’t have told people.
“I don’t think they told her what happened and what they deemed inappropriate.
“I think they have a duty not to tell people in there so it doesn’t mess up their head and they don’t start moving in a particular way … basically moving stiff and dead in the show.”
Sherif lifted the lid on his abrupt exit from the show last week, revealing he regrets making the vile joke that led to him leaving the villa but insisted he didn’t intend to cause any serious offence.
He confessed: “I’ve been stupid and let myself down.
“I have never used the word before and I realise how insulting it is to women.
“As someone raised by a strong and loving mother, I want to say that I would never intentionally offend women. I was completely wrong and I apologise.”

Love Island’s Lucie Donlan to give villa ‘a chance’ after Joe Garratt was dumped

OHMYGOSSIP — Lucie Donlan has decided to “give it a chance” in the ‘Love Island’ villa after her love interest Joe Garratt was dumped from the island.
On Tuesday’s (18.06.19) episode of the ITV2 reality show, Joe was voted out by the public after two pairs – Joe and Lucie, and Elma Pazar and Anton Danyluk – were branded by their fellow islanders as the least compatible couples.
And despite concerns about staying on the show alone, the 21-year-old surfer appears to be keen to stay on the show.
During a chat with her fellow Islanders on tonight’s (19.06.19) show, Lucie says: “I don’t know what he would have done.”
Molly-Mae Hague adds: “Enjoy the experience! We’ll support you whatever you decide.”
While reflecting in the Beach Hut, Lucy explains: “I am finding it hard this morning. The girls have been really lovely to me, they’ve been really nice.
“I don’t normally take girls advice but I’m actually going to give it a chance.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Tom Walker sets his sights firmly on getting to know Maura Higgins now Elma has left the villa.
In the evening, Tom asks Maura for a chat and says: “You look really nice tonight.”
Maura replies: “Thank you. So do you.”
After some teasing from the boys, Tom admits: “They’re [the boys] not sure I can handle you. I assure you I could.”
However, Maura seems to have doubt about a potential relationship.
Reflecting on a possible budding romance in the Beach Hut, she says: “I can’t describe it. There is something missing with Tom. Maybe he does find me intimidating?”
Maura isn’t the only one having doubts, as Danny Williams voices his concerns over his relationship with Yewande Biala.
Confiding in Tom and Anton, Danny says: “I would say she [Yewande] is genuinely not feeling it.”
In the Beach Hut, Danny continues: “It’s not easy for me. I’ve really made my intentions clear but I am a bit dejected tonight.”

Oti Mabuse: I cried during Strictly dress fitting

OHMYGOSSIP — Oti Mabuse “cried” at her first dress fitting for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ due to body insecurities.
The 28-year-old professional dancer will open up about issues with her 28GG bust line during an appearance on Thursday’s (20.06.19) episode of ‘Lorraine’, and the star admitted she felt ashamed of her figure when she compared herself to the other girls on the BBC One Latin and ballroom competition.
She said: “My body lessons start with these boobs. I am a 28GG.
“All my family has always had big boobs. I was hitting puberty way before other girls were. As a 12 year-old girl going in and saying ‘I’m looking for a B cup’, that kind of sounds unrealistic.
“‘Strictly’ opened a lot of doors to me. I remember fitting my first bra and I was crying. I was like, ‘This looks so bad and I look so massive compared to the other girls.’
“Nobody picked on me for it and no one discriminated against me for it and nobody said anything in a negative way and I think that helped me and my self esteem and my nerves about being out in a bra with sequins on.”
Oti felt lucky her mother experienced the same issue as a young girl and taught her how to “deal” with her insecurities.
She added: “I’m lucky that my mum has the same issue and she was able to teach me how to deal with it.
“As a young girl I was always wearing jersies over it.”
The ‘Greatest Dancer’ dance captain now “celebrates” her body and believes everyone should “embraced and celebrate” the way they look.
She said: “Most shops cater for everyday women but in my case I don’t have an everyday body.
“We all come in different shapes and sizes and I think it’s really important we all embrace and celebrate the skin that we’re in. It is you after all and I think that’s really special.”

Love Island complaints soar overnight

OHMYGOSSIP — Ofcom have received more than 500 complaints about ‘Love Island’ in just one day.
It was revealed on Tuesday (18.06.19) that the broadcasting regulator had had 486 calls about Maura Higgins’ advances towards Tommy Fury and 302 objections to Joe Garratt’s treatment of Lucie Donlan – who he told to spend more time with the girls rather than continue her friendship with Tommy – since Friday (14.06.19) but overnight the figures have soared.
Although Maura has pledged to “not talk about sex” so much, another 200 viewers have called in to object to her over zealous flirting, while a total of 684 complaints have been logged about Joe’s antics.
Ofcom are currently examining the complaints but have made no decision as yet whether they will take them further.
A spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: “We will assess these complaints against our broadcasting rules, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.”
The government-approved body previously admitted they were very concerned following the suicides of former ‘Love Island’ contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis, as well as that of Steve Dymond, who took his own life shortly after recording an appearance on ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’
Chief Executive Sharon White told the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee last month: “As well as the most recent tragedy with Steve Dymond, alarm bells were particularly rung with the two suicides, ‘Love Island’, some months after the broadcasts.
“What happens after transmission at the moment, there is a window between filming and transmission where there is advice on the media and social media and going often from being a private person to suddenly to being cast into a media world.
“I guess my question, which I am asking my team, is to think about whether that needs to be extended somewhat after transmission.
“So it is that sort of regime guidance we are thinking for reality shows and factual programmes.”
‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’ was axed last week following 14 years on air after it was revealed participant Steve was found dead 10 days after he appeared on the show.

Tristan Gemmill plays down ‘coincidental’ Coronation Street exits

OHMYGOSSIP — Tristan Gemmill says it is “just a coincidence” that so many ‘Coronation Street’ stars announced their exits around similar times.
The 52-year-old star – who portrays Robert Preston – has confirmed he is to leave the ITV soap, as have his colleagues Kym Marsh (Michelle Connor), Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt), and Faye Brookes (Kate Connor), but Tristan insists the reasoning is nothing to do with having to shoot a six-episode week.
He said: “There’s 60-something people in the cast – and there’s a natural turnover when people feel it’s time to move on.
“It’s just a coincidence that a few people said the same thing at once.
“It doesn’t point to the health of the show or having six episodes a week.
“We love doing six episodes a week.”
While it’s not known exactly how Tristan will leave the soap, his character Robert looks set to cause havoc in upcoming scenes after viewers found out he has got his ex Vicky Jefferies (Kerri Quinn) pregnant, despite getting back with Michelle.
And while Tristan expects ‘Corrie’ fans to think Robert has been “an absolute snake”, he hopes they “come on his journey a little bit” before getting too annoyed with him.
He added to Inside Soap magazine: “I am sure they will see Robert as an absolute snake.
“You can’t do anything to harm those Connor women, because they are the heart and soul of the show.
“It’s going to be interesting what the audience does. I would hope they come on his journey a little bit, and realise he’s in a bit of a corner.
“It all escalates out of his control, and he spends a lot of time trying to fight fires.”
Kerri recently admitted she was delighted about returning to ‘Corrie’, and was pleased to be working with Tristan, who she described as the “hottest man on TV”.
She said: “I was beyond excited, I’d seen Michelle and Robert on screen and thought they were a great couple, so when I was told I was going to be paired up with Robert, who is probably the hottest man on TV, I was alright with that.”

Chris and Kem’s mad holiday with mums

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay had a “mad” holiday with their mums.
The former ‘Love Island’ stars have forged a new “family” unit after whisking Val Hughes and Figen Cetinay away with them to the all-inclusive Jaz Aquamarine Resort in Egypt, and under the watchful eyes of their parents, they went head-to-head in a series of challenges from cooking to catwalking in a bid to impress their mothers.
Kem said: “Having our mums out here has been mad! Even better than my lads holidays! We’ve been reminiscing about our family holidays over the years and feel like we’ve bonded even more.”
Chris added: “We’re like our own little family now really. We’ve done everything together this week and had a blast hanging out in the sun. It’s been great to unwind before a massive summer ahead.”
The pair’s trip echoes research from holiday company First Choice, that discovered a staggering 79% of young adults are set to go on vacation with their parents this year.
According to the research, the trend for the family holidays range from wanting to spend quality time with parents over friends to nostalgia for childhood trips to save money or enjoy nicer experiences to simply guilt.
Katie McAlister, Chief Marketing Officer for First Choice, said: “It’s really interesting to see just how many young Brits are choosing to holiday with their parents, to reconnect and spend quality family time together.
“We are seeing more families than ever looking to travel together, taking the opportunity to explore far flung locations and try out exciting activities as a family. We pride ourselves on offering all-inclusive holidays to suit everyone, no matter the family set-up – jam packed with legitimate reasons to brag.
“We’re thrilled to have Chris and Kem back on board this year to show holidaymakers how to have the ultimate brag-worthy holiday, but this time with their mums in tow, making it a real family affair.”

Love Island’s Amber and Michael exchange blows

OHMYGOSSIP — Love Island’s Amber Gill and Michael Griffiths exchange blows after his date with new girl Maura Higgins on tonight’s episode (13.06.19).
The pair argue after model Maura – who entered the famous villa on Wednesday (12.06.19) with fellow newbie Elma Pazar – enjoys a dessert date with the 27-year-old firefighter and purposely causes a stir by feeding the hunky Liverpudlian from her fork.
Fully aware that Amber, Molly-Mae Hague and Yewande Biala are watching, she says: “I’ll give them something to talk about.”
When Michael returns, Amber snubs him and he brands her “childish”.
He tells the lads: “I can’t be dealing with childish girls.”
However, unfortunately for him, Amber overhears and wants him to explain himself.
Speaking in the Beach Hut, he says: “I waited at the bottom of the stairs so I could speak to Amber and reassure her again that there is no reason for her to feel any kind of way.
“She walked straight past me and ignored Maura who I was on a date with.”
He then tells Amber to her face: “I told you that you had nothing to worry about.”
But she is not happy and in the Beach Hut, Amber fumes: “I think people need to have their facts straight before they come to me and try to have an argument with us.”
Elsewhere, Molly-Mae is concerned that Maura has too much chemistry with hunky boxer Tommy Fury after the pair had a dinner date and bonded over the fact Maura is a ring girl.
Speaking with Yewande, Michael and Anton, Molly says: “She’s [Maura] a ring girl. It is what it is.”
Later on Molly has a chat with Maura girl-to-girl and warns her that she is smitten with Tommy.
Maura confesses to her: “I’m not going to lie, he was flirting.”
However, Molly-Mae replies: “I just want you to know where me and him are at.
“We’re not in this triangle anymore, it’s just me and him. He did really reassure me before he went on the date.”
In the Beach Hut, Maura says she doesn’t want to steal anyone’s man but if the feeling is mutual it’s not her fault.
She says: “Yes, they’re in a couple and I don’t want to step on anyone’s toes. But if he wants me, what am I going to do?”
And Tommy admits to Molly-Mae that he wants to get to know Maura even though they are currently coupled together.
He says; “She’s [Maura] come in here and I’ve had a connection with her. I like the girl and I’m going to get to know her.”
Molly-Mae replies: “I thought spending every day together, sharing a bed together would be enough to make you realise that I do like you.”
And Tommy admits: “It just feels like you’re keeping your options open.”
‘Love Island’ continues Thursday (13.06.19) night at 9pm on ITV2 and Virgin Media Two.

Love Island’s Molly-Mae refuses to be Tommy’s ‘second best’

OHMYGOSSIP — Molly-Mae Hague fumed that she “will not be anyone’s “second best” after Tommy Fury’s “head was turned” by Maura Higgins on Thursday night’s (13.06.19) explosive ‘Love Island’ episode.
The 19-year-old social media influencer was left raging after the hunky boxer hit it off immediately with ring girl Maura, who caused a stir when she fed him from her fork on their dinner date.
And talking to Anton Danyluk, Molly-Mae admitted that she was “absolutely livid” and expects to be “old news” to Tommy by the morning and made it clear that she will doesn’t want to be with someone who has a wandering eye.
She said: “Should have committed sooner? No, I don’t care.
“I am literally trying so hard to keep my cool, but quite frankly I am absolutely livid.
“It doesn’t take a scientist to work out that tomorrow when we wake up I am old news to Tommy.
“I am telling you categorically now and quite frankly, I am not second best.
“I won’t do that. It’s just not a thing.”
Speaking to Tommy, Michael Griffiths said: “I will tell you right now, Molly-Mae is fuming. She is fuming.”
And talking to Curtis Pritchard, Molly-Mae said: “He’s just shown his true colours completely, he’s not even asked if I am alright not once I should have been more guarded.”
Maura had also told Tommy that she would be willing to commit herself to him if he is “honest and loyal”.
She told him: “If you want to get to know me and I am all committed to you, if you are going to honest, loyal and truthful to me, I am not going to try and pursue something with someone else because I think we have a connection.”
After admitting that he likes Maura, Molly-Mae fumed: “I have shared a bed with you for six days, we’ve had deep chats.
“Do you not think that I feel threatened by a stunning girl who has come in that is as f***ing ring girl.
“The guy I like is a boxer.”
Molly-Mae doesn’t “blame” Maura for what’s happened though.
When she walked into the room and said, “Everything has blown up”, she replied: “It’s not your fault at all.
“Literally, honestly, you needed to come in to make me realise, you’ve done nothing wrong.
“It’s absolutely fine.
“The reason I was upset was because obviously you have come in you are stunning and you said you are a ring girl…”
Molly-Mae and Tommy attempted to talk about what had happened but were told to sleep on it by fellow Islander Curtis.
‘Love Island’ continues Friday (14.06.19) night at 9pm on ITV2 and Virgin Media Two.

Robbie Williams will return to The X Factor

OHMYGOSSIP — Robbie Williams has said he will return to ‘The X Factor’.
The former Take That star and his wife Ayda Field were both judges on the ITV talent show last year, and although they won’t be back this year due to other work commitments, including Robbie’s new album, he has revealed that Simon Cowell has persuaded him to continue with the job when things aren’t so hectic.
Speaking at a press conference where Robbie was announced as a co-owner of Liverpool stage school LMA (Liverpool Music Academy), he spilled: “We wanted it desperately to work with The X Factor but it couldnt. It is to be continued because Simon and I are good friends, our family are friends and our kids hang out all of the time.
“It is a pause on the relationship and then it will carry on. This year I have to promo my album.”
Quizzed on whether show boss Simon invited him back, he replied: “Yes he (Simon) did. We wanted to do it but we couldn’t make it work. Like I said it is just a pause.
“I miss Simon, he is incredibly charismatic and incredibly charming and I have learned an awful lot from him.”
In a joint post on Robbie’s Instagram announcing their break from the show, the couple had said: “Sadly though it’s impossible to do everything … and we’re gutted to tell you we won’t be able to return to The X Factor this year. (sic)”
The power couple said they will still be working with the 59-year-old music mogul on other projects.
They added: “We will, however, be working on projects with Simon going forward – and as huge fans of the show, we will still be tuning into The X Factor, voting and winding Simon up…x (sic)”
