OHMYGOSSIP — Alison Hammond was “scared for her life” after Paul Hollywood took her for a spin in his Lamborghini.
The 49-year-old TV star has been hosting Channel 4’s ‘The Great British Bake Off’ with Paul, 58, since March 2023, and has revealed she was left shaken after he took her for a pulse-pounding ride in his sports car.
During an appearance on ‘Rob Beckett’s Smart TV’, she said: “He had this beautiful Lamborghini and I had to squeeze myself in, literally leaning over the his gear stick.
“He then took me for a ride and I’ve literally never been more scared in my life.
“I was just screaming all the way.”
Aside from ‘Bake Off’, the TV star had hosted ‘This Morning’ alongside 50-year-old Dermot O’Leary, though has since handed over the reigns to Cat Deeley, 47, and Ben Shepard, 49.
However, Alison revealed she “never” wanted to present the programme full time due to her other TV commitments.
When The Sunday Times asked if there had been any further discussions with ITV over her future as the show’s host, she said: “Absolutely not. How could I? I live in Birmingham and do ‘Bake Off’ and ‘For the Love of Dogs’. I never wanted that job. Last year, we did extra because we were going through issues, but Cat and Ben will save that show.”
The programme was plunged into controversy after 61-year-old Phillip Schofield left in May 2023, following an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a much younger male colleague.
Even so, Alison refused to discuss the situation, and insisted she wished “the best” for the disgraced presenter.
She said: “Listen, I don’t want to get into salacious gossip. All I need to say is I personally wish Phillip Schofield all the best. I loved Phillip Schofield. Full stop. But that’s the last thing I would want to speak about.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Coleen Nolan almost ended her career over her infamous feud with Kim Woodburn.
The 59-year-old star, best known as a panellist on ‘Loose Women’, appeared on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ alongside Kim, 81, in 2017 in which she was accused of “bullying” by the former cleaner.
Kim was then invited onto the ITV1 lunchtime chat show to clear the air but ended up storming off after a row, and when Coleen arrived in Sunderland on Thursday (21.03.24) for the latest stop on her ‘Naked’ tour, she claimed during a question and answer section with the audience she had warned producers that things would not pan out well.
She said: “It was exactly how I thought it was going to be and I told them that’s what she was gonna do but no one listened to me.
“And then I can honestly say it was the worst time of my life. I very nearly threw the towel in and thought I couldn’t do it anymore.
“And then I thought…’I’m not going to let Kim Woodburn finish my career…she’s a f****** cleaning lady!'”
The former ‘Dancing on Ice’ contestant – who shot to fame alongside her sisters as a member of the Nolans in the 1980s – is currently touring the country for the first time as a solo artist and opened her set with ‘Out Here On My Own’ from ‘Fame’.
Joined by two backing singers and a band which included her ex-husband Ray Fensome on guitar, Coleen then worked her way through classics including ‘I’m So Excited’ and a medley of her greatest hits from the Nolans, including ‘Gotta Pull Myself Together’ and ‘Chemistry’.
The TV star slowed the tone down to dedicate the Faith Hill ballad ‘There You’ll Be’ to her late sister Bernie, who died in 2013 following a battle with breast cancer, before paying tribute to the girl bands who followed her own heyday with a medley of hits originally performed by the Spice Girls, Girls Aloud and Little Mix.
Coleen’s support act was her son Shane – who she has with first husband Shane Richie – and at one point the mother-and-son duo performed classic disco track ‘You To Me Are Everthing’ together before she performed ballads like ‘All I Ask’ by Adele, ‘Somewhere’ from ‘West Side Story’ and ‘This Is Me’ from ‘The Greatest Showman’, in a nod to her presenting
work on TV charity cancer special ‘The Real Full Monty”.
Coleen closed the show with the Nolans’ biggest hit ‘I’m in the Mood for Dancing’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ruth Jones is refusing to dismiss the idea of a ‘Gavin and Stacey’ reunion.
The 57-year-old actress played Nessa on and wrote the BBC Three comedy with Smithy actor James Corden, 45.
Even though the cast have not been seen together since the 2019 Christmas special, Ruth has now revealed she will “never say never” to another ‘Gavin and Stacey’ one-off special.
During an appearance on BBC Radio 2’s ‘Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ alongside Elbow rocker Guy Garvery, 50, and 54-year-old Hollywood star Paul Rudd, the host asked Ruth: “Will we ever see them all together again?”
The actress replied: “Who knows, you never say never in this world do you? I don’t know.”
Zoe then quipped: “No plans yet, unless she’s bluffing, she’s got a good poker face… .”
The festive special of ‘Gavin and Stacey’ ended on the memorable cliffhanger of Smithy proposing to Nessa, and Ruth has insisted she “doesn’t know” how her character reacted.
Zoe said: “[I] have to ask you, everyone always says, Smithy is still waiting for an answer from Nessa after that proposal?”
Ruth responded: “Is he though? Is he waiting? We don’t know. James and I think those characters exist and that Nessa is still working down the slots in Barry Island at the moment.
“We like to think their lives are carrying on down there.”
Previously, it was rumoured the cast of ‘Gavin and Stacey’, including Mathew Horne (who played Gavin) Joanna Page (Stacey) Alison Steadman (Pam) and Larry Lamb (Mick) would be reuniting once again for another one-off this year, with the BBC and Netflix being caught in a bidding war over the episode.
However, Ruth insisted the story was “sadly a rumour”.
She told RTE Radio 1: “All I can say is, if there was something to say on that front, James and I would happily announce it, we would.
“Apparently there’s a bidding war going on between the BBC and Netflix and I love it because it says, ‘a source says’, who is this source?”
The actress then theorised that the rumours came to be after she was pictured having lunch with James in the UK after he had finished his time as ‘The Late Late Show’ presenter.
She added: “Then the next thing is, ‘Oh my god they must be writing more ‘Gavin and Stacey’, which is lovely.
“It’s lovely that people are so desperate for it because imagine if it was the opposite and were like, ‘Oh, god, you’re not bringing that back again’.”

Paul has now revealed ‘Shake It Off’ singer Taylor, 34, could join the show for a “Hollywood edition” with her 36-year-old actress friend Blake.
He told Best magazine: “Blake really wants to do it. I mean, she really, really wants to do it and I think she was talking about getting in a couple of friends, and she mentioned Taylor Swift.
“I was like, ‘Listen, if you can get those guys into the tent, get them into the tent’. ‘Bake Off: The Hollywood Edition’.”
Paul added having Taylor and Blake in the tent wouldn’t be the first time the Channel 4 programme has had interest from movie stars, as Marvel actors Ryan Reynolds, 47, and Hugh Jackman, 55, had once visited the set dressed as their superhero characters.
He said: “Ryan Reynolds walked into the tent fully dressed as Deadpool. We had a good laugh together.
“Wolverine was there as well, so we had Hugh Jackman.”
‘The Great British Bake Off: Stand Up To Cancer’ is currently back on screens, and sees stars such as 50-year-old Leigh Francis, comedian Rhod Gilbert, 55, 42-year-old singer Paloma Faith and ‘Doctor Who’ actress Jodie Whittaker, 41, take to the tent to show off their culinary skills.
Reflecting on the special, Paul said he was “happy” to see what tasty treats the stars could create.
He said: “I was happy to see Leigh as I’ve met him a few times. And Rhod Gilbert, who has been through the mill with cancer, was a giggle.
“I’ve met Paloma Faith before ad she was so sweet and loved to get stuck in.
“And of course, it’s fantastic to meet the Doctor – I mean Jodie Whittaker, she’s such a lovely woman.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Piper kept her whip and underwear from ‘The Secret Diary of a Call Girl’.
The pop singer-turned actress, 41, starred in the ITV2 show from 2007 to 2011 as Hannah Baxter, who lived a double life as an escort, and revealed she had taken the props while opening up about how she has a habit of keeping items from her TV shows and movies.
She tells Saturday (23.03.24) night’s edition of ITV’s ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’: “I take things from set, I see things, I take them… loads of things, rings, costume jewellery.
“I actually have a whip and some underwear from ‘The Secret Diary of a Call Girl.’”
Billie also admitted to taking “loads” of props from her time on BBC One’s ‘Doctor Who’, in which she starred as the Timelord’s sidekick Rose Tyler from 2005 to 2006, before returning to the show in 2008, 2010 and 2013.
She said: “I took loads of stuff from the TARDIS, the main central console.”
The mum-of-three – who has two sons with her actor ex Laurence Fox, 45, and a daughter with her former husband, Tribes frontman Johnny Lloyd – added despite her fame her eldest doesn’t care about her career.
She said: “My elder one couldn’t (care less), which I actually like – I think that’s a healthier response.
“I think I’ve got a fan in my youngest child, she will watch my music videos and ask to play my songs in the car and I’ll oblige.
“They have no interest in me being in ‘Doctor Who’ but they will come to a convention where there’s access to real famous people, genuine stars if there is access to ‘Stranger Things’, Marvel or ‘Lord of the Rings.’”
Turning to how she came into showbiz as a teen, Billie added: “I was 14 when I signed my record deal, the same age as my eldest son which blows my mind but he isn’t that interested which I think is fine.”
Billie was joined on Jonathan’s show by Mel B, Paul Rudd and comic Leo Reich.
‘The Jonathan Ross Show’ is on at 9.35pm on Saturday on ITV1 and ITVX.

OHMYGOSSIP — Bobby Brazier and Ellie Leach have split.
The ‘EastEnders’ actor and the ‘Coronation Street’ actress started dating after competing on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ last year and went on to take part in the spin-off arena tour from January to February.
However, the pair are now believed to have called time on their whirlwind romance.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Love blossomed between them when they were in close quarters on the tour, but once that ended they both spent much less time together.
“That gave them space to think about the future, which is likely to take them in very different directions over the coming year or two.
“So they decided the best thing to do was quit while they were ahead and while they were still pals, because they both really cherish the friendship they have.”
Meanwhile Bobby’s former ‘EastEnders’ co-star Danielle Harold previously revealed her nan thought the pair were dating.
The 31-year-old actress sparked speculation she’d struck up a romance with her former ‘EastEnders’ co-star after they were pictured looking cosy after the National Television Awards last year and though she insisted the 20-year-old actor was just being the “biggest gent” and came to her aid after she struggled to walk in her high-heeled shoes, even her grandmother thought they were a couple.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper’s ‘Invite Only’ podcast: “Poor Bobby. He must think, ‘Oh look, I’m getting attached to this old bird’. I’m like, ‘Sorry Bobby, it keeps me looking young, so…’
“Bless him, he was just being the biggest gent that night (the pictures were taken) because I could not walk in my shoes at all. We were at the NTAs. And our car left us, like, all the way around the back.
“I said, ‘Bobby, I can’t, I can’t, listen, I can’t walk.’ He was like, ‘Yes, you can.’ He was just being a gent and now he gets named as my boyfriend every two minutes. Bless him. You just laugh, and go that’s just how it is.
“Even my nan thought I was with Bobby. She said, ‘That was a lovely picture of you and your new boyfriend. I was like, ‘No nan, I’m not going out with Bobby.’ She’s so sweet.”
