Roxanne Pallett returning to work with mental health talk

OHMYGOSSIP — Roxanne Pallett will speak at a mental health event as she returns to work this week.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ star – whose time in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ last year was marred by controversy when she falsely accused Ryan Thomas of punching her – has announced her next job after taking time away from the spotlight.
She wrote on Instagram: “I’ll be speaking at the Music For Your Mind event on Monday 13th May (for details click the link above in my bio) to help artists raise awareness & funds for mental health art therapy workshops. ‘Although I’m extremely nervous, I know that sharing our stories, experiences, fears, flaws & recoveries are what can help the next person feel less alone. I hope to see you there. (sic)”
Following the ‘CBB’ scandal in 2018, Roxanne has only appeared on ‘Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls’ and ‘Celebrity Coach Trip’, with the latter being filmed in June.
The mental health event is said to be the first job she has booked since the controversy, after she lost both her job at Minster FM and her role as Cinderella in the Christmas pantomime in Chesterfield.
Roxanne, 36, recently opened up about her own struggles.
She wrote: “I was 16 when our family home went up in flames. It was traumatic to be trapped inside a burning house. Losing our home & all our belongings was one thing, but months later, cancer took my grandma who had raised me.
“It broke me. I didn’t have counselling. Instead, struggling to cope with my grief & upset, I took measures into my own hands & naively overdosed on a handful of tablets from a school friend who told me it would numb the pain. (sic)”
Roxanne has also discussed an abusive relationship she was in at university, and described her career as “a cover” for the “awful episode” of her life.
She added: “In 2018 I had to put my pride aside & ask for help. I was diagnosed with PTSD & Panic Disorder. I’m now on medication & I see a specialist for EMDR & CBT therapy. I feel like I’m finally coming up for air.
“I now pause before reacting. I look to myself before others. I reframe. So many are misunderstood because of their mental struggles. Life breaks some of us more than others & it’s down to us to put our pieces back together but we can’t do that alone.
“We aren’t lost, crazy, weird or toxic, we’re injured. But mental injuries don’t mend on their own. Please, if this is you, talk to your doctor. (sic)”

Sally Dynevor sticking around on Coronation Street

OHMYGOSSIP — Sally Dynevor has reassured ‘Coronation Street’ fans she is staying on the soap – after a number of her co-stars announced their departures in recent weeks.
The Weatherfield legend – who has portrayed Sally Metcalfe on the show since 1986 – joked she will nail her feet to the studio floor to ensure she can keep on playing her beloved character, and insists there is no crisis on the cobbles despite there being a number of soon-to-be departees.
She said: “I am so happy.
“Everyone says about all of this, but it’s so not true.
“Everyone is really happy. I don’t know where this story has come from.
“I am nailing my feet to the floor, I’m staying, if that’s OK?”
Sally’s comments come after Kym Marsh (Michelle Connor), Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt), Tristan Gemmill (Robert Preston) and Faye Brookes (Kate Connor) all announced they are to leave the soap.
And another star who may be departing Weatherfield soon for a maternity leave stint is Sally’s pregnant on-screen daughter Brooke Vincent (Sophie Webster).
She said: “I’m so happy for Brooke. She’ll be such a wonderful mum, it’s something she’s wanted for a long time so I’m really, really happy for her.”
Sally’s other on-screen daughter Helen Flanagan (Rosie Webster) is currently on maternity leave from the show after giving birth to her second daughter Delilah, who is now 11 months, and Sally believes it “won’t be long” until Helen is back on the cobbles.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’, she added: “She’s gorgeous, I would love her to come back and I’m sure it won’t be long before she’s back on our screens because she’s so good.”
Last week, Helen – who also has four-year-old daughter Matilda – admitted she will “definitely” be back in Weatherfield at some point.
She said: “I miss ‘Coronation Street’ so much, and I am definitely am going to go back. Definitely.
“It’s just working it around my girls.
“Matilda is at the stage now where she is four and she needs to be taken to all her lessons and obviously with me living in Scotland it’s a four-hour drive [to Manchester]. Delilah is nearly one.
“But I just love it [‘Corrie’] so much.”

Karen Gillan wants ‘drunk Thor’ in Guardians of the Galaxy 3

OHMYGOSSIP — Karen Gillan hopes “drunk Thor” will be part of the third ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ film.
‘Avengers: Endgame’ saw Chris Hemsworth’s Thor overweight and constantly drunk throughout the movie after falling into a depressive slump following Thanos’ victory in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.
The ending of the film teased that the Asgardian god of thunder maybe joining the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ squad, led by Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord, after his stint with the crew in ‘Infinity War’.
The 31-year-old actress – who plays Nebula in the MCU films – is very much on board for Chris to become part of the franchise and thinks it would be “hilarious” to see Thor have “some sort of captain rivalry” with Star-Lord.
Asked whether she wanted Thor to join ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ as a permanent member, she told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: “Yes. I think that would be hilarious to see Thor and Star-Lord in some sort of captain rivalry. I think drunk Thor would fit in more though.”
Karen has also admitted she was “so happy” when she discovered director James Gunn had been re-hired after he was fired by Disney following a series of controversial tweets which resurfaced.
The former ‘Doctor Who’ star insists it is the correct decision as it just “wouldn’t be the same movie” without him.
She said: “I was so happy because it truly feels like we’re part of this little family on ‘Guardians’. And to have your leader ripped away from you is a really weird feeling. I feel that it wouldn’t be the same type of ‘Guardians’ movie without him. So much of it is his personality.
“The sense of humour, his taste in music, the characters – there’s so much of him in there, so that would have been quite a strange sensation to make it without him. We were just so happy when he came back. It feels like everything’s as it should be now.”
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ is due to start shooting in 2020 once Gunn has completed filming on the follow-up to DC Extended Universe movie ‘Suicide Squad’.

Levi Roots life story to be made into film

OHMYGOSSIP — Levi Roots’ life story is to be turned into a movie.
Writing and producing duo Meg Leonard and Nick Moorcroft are planning a new biopic to tell the story of the 60-year-old reggae musician and celebrity chef and how he created his Caribbean food and drink empire.
The film will tell the story of Levi growing up in Jamaica where he was too poor to buy shoes and could not read and write before emigrating to Britain aged 11.
He was later sentenced to nine years in prison for drugs offences, before turning his life around and appearing on ‘Dragons Den’ where he first pitched his now famous Reggae Reggae Sauce.
Levi told The Guardian newspaper that being immortalised on screen is: “It’s ‘fab-ilicious’, which is that sweet point between fabulous and delicious … It’s amazing.”
Moorcroft added the film will be a “life-affirming tale of hopes, dreams and second-chances, all set to an uplifting reggae soundtrack and bathed in Caribbean sunshine”.
The film will be shot next spring in Jamaica and Britain, particularly around Roots’ home in Brixton, South London.
Leonard hailed Levi as the “embodiment of triumph over adversity” and insisted his story is a “classic redemptive tale, and so relevant”.
The chef went on to explain that despite adversity, his story will be told as a comedy because, “it’s life itself”.
Levi added: “You have to laugh at yourself. I would love it to show the warts and all.”
It is so far unknown who will play Levi in the film, however, the businessman is keen to a cameo in the movie.
He said: “Maybe a bumbling takeaway shop owner who never has anything on the menu.”

The popular Channel 4 comedy has been renewed by bosses for another season with Tamsin Greig, Paul Ritter, Simon Bird and Tom Rosenthal set to return as the Goodman family.
Writer and producer Robert Popper said: “I’m really looking forward to exploring new avenues with series six.
“Inspector de Vries (Paul Ritter) will still be working on the Rynsburger case, but this time he’s joined by new partner-in-crime, Mees Janssen (Tom Rosenthal), fresh out of Rotterdam Police Academy.
“Eva de Bruin (Tamsin Greig) is now trying to regain control of her pharmaceutical company, after an aggressive takeover-bid by the always-cunning Sem Teuling (Simon Bird). But can ‘Vos’ (Mark Heap) and his faithful dog, ‘de Welson’ save the day?”

He said: “‘Friday Night Dinner’ has grown into a monster hit for Channel 4 and it’s incredibly exciting to see the audience growing every season as new viewers fall in love with the antics of the Goodman household.
“It’s also incredible that Robert has singlehandedly written and produced all 31 episodes so far, which must make him one of the most prolific comedy writer/producers working today.
“We’re incredibly grateful to C4 for letting him have another go. Fingers crossed.”
Channel 4’s head of comedy Fiona McDermott added: “We’re delighted that audiences love ‘Friday Night Dinner’ as much as we do at Channel 4, and are thrilled that it will be returning.
“It’s always brilliant when audiences for a show grow over time and we’re thrilled that more and more people are falling in love with the Goodmans.
“We are so pleased to be making a new series with Robert and Big Talk.”
‘Friday Night Dinner’ – which launched in 2011 and has become one of the broadcaster’s longest running and most popular sitcoms – will film its sixth series later this year, and it is set to air on Channel 4 in 2020.

The movie will tell the story of Michael’s journey from a go-karter in Kerpen, to his legendary victories on the race track where he secured won Formula One titles.

RJ Mitte won’t be appearing in Breaking Bad film

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Breaking Bad’ star RJ Mitte has confirmed he will not be appearing in the upcoming film.
The 26-year-old actor played Walt Jr, the son of chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin Walter White (Bryan Cranston), in the series which ran from 2008 to 2013.
Showrunner Vince Gilligan is creating a movie set in the same universe as the original TV series but Mitte has revealed he is “not part” of the big-screen adaptation but he has allowed himself to wonder what might have become of Flynn and he has envisioned a future in which he works for the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration).
Speaking to The Wrap about what he has imagined could happen to his alter ego, he said: “Walt escapes capture, Jesse came back to Walt after the whole shootout, Walt and Jesse disappear for five years, and Walt Jr. is still living with his sister, almost in like DEA housing. Then Walt Jr. pretty much joins the DEA and is hunting after his father, He kind of takes Hank’s role where Hank left off. My idea is that he’s trying to go out, find what happened to Hank and go after Jesse and Walt.”
Gilligan confirmed last year he is working on a ‘Breaking Bad’ movie and previously teased that the film would act as a sequel to the show.
Although Mitte and Cranston won’t be back, Aaron Paul – who played Jesse Pinkman – is hoping for a call from Gilligan because there is still scope for his character to be developed.
He said: “I haven’t heard anything about the ‘Breaking Bad’ movie but if there is one and it comes together I’d love to be a part of it … I would love to do it. In case you haven’t caught up on the TV series, Walter dies, so … it has to star Jesse.”

Piers Morgan blasts ‘pathetic’ BBC for BAFTA TV coverage

OHMYGOSSIP — The 54-year-old TV presenter was furious after the ITV breakfast show’s two nominations in the News Coverage category were not shown during the main programme on Sunday night (12.05.19), and he launched into a rant on air the following morning.
As co-host Susanna Reid nodded in agreement, he said: “Shame on the BBC … You wouldn’t have known ‘GMB’ got nominated.
“We never got mentioned during the two-hour, incredibly boring, show. If you sat through that and are still alive good luck to you. How they get through it, those luvvies, I have no idea.”
Although ‘Good Morning Britain’ had half of the spots on the shortlist – for its ‘On A Knife Edge?’ and ‘Thomas Markle Exclusive’ broadcasts – the programme lost out to the Cambridge Analytica Uncovered Production Team for ITN/ Channel 4.
In a clip shown from the ceremony, Piers looked incredibly disappointed when the winner was announced.
Commenting on a perceived lack of coverage – with the nomination only referenced on YouTube rather than the main show – he added: “It’s a travesty. We were up for half the awards.
“‘Good Morning’ Britain was the first-ever breakfast show to be nominated for that coveted award. But it didn’t make the main show.
“Churlish, pathetic and spineless by the BBC. I’m on to you … shame on the BBC. You’ve got to explain yourselves.
“Just because the rival ‘BBC Breakfast’ show wasn’t nominated. We got half of the news coverage nominations. They just airbrushed it out of the whole thing. Like it didn’t happen.”

Holly Hagan and Nathan Henry join mental health campaign

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Hagan and Nathan Henry have teamed up with Ditch the Label for Mental Health Awareness Week 2019.
The ‘Geordie Shore’ duo are fronting a campaign – launched as part of a new partnership between MTV and the anti-bullying charity – which aims to tackle bullying and look at how it can impact mental health.
Holly said: “I’m so honoured to be working with MTV and Ditch The Label on an issue so close to my heart.
“As someone in the public eye I expect criticism, but the levels of hate online are sometimes unbearable. No one should have to go through it, especially young people who already face so many pressures.”
Nathan added that online abuse is hard “to escape”, and says he hides “certain abusive words” on his own social media accounts.
He explained: “The problem with online abuse is that you can’t escape it, you can’t just turn your back on it because it’s everywhere.
“I’ve personally had to mute certain abusive words on my own Instagram, it’s sad that it’s come to that.
“We need action now, there should be stricter rules to ensure abusive people are banned from social media altogether.”
On Tuesday (14.05.19), the reality TV stars will take part in an MTV News special on Facebook and Twitter as they discuss their own personal experiences and the devastating impact of online abuse.
They will be joined by Ditch the Label founder and CEO Dr. Liam Hackett, who hopes the campaign can reach a wide audience and make a difference.
He said: “We are so excited to be partnering with MTV on an issue that we feel so strongly about.
“Online abuse is a real epidemic for young people and can often leave people who are victimised feeling isolated and alone.
“Each week we help thousands to overcome bullying and the harmful impacts through our online support community, online resources and global campaigns.
“Together with some familiar faces at MTV we hope to stamp out bullying in all its forms.”

BAFTA TV explains Barry Chuckle In Memoriam omission

OHMYGOSSIP — Barry Chuckle was left out of the TV BAFTAs’ In Memoriam section because he has already been honoured.
Fans were disappointed the late comedian wasn’t featured in the video recognising the stars who passed away in the last year – which featured the likes of Leslie Grantham and Luke Perry – but the organisation has revealed why he wasn’t included.
Responded to a fan on Twitter, BAFTA said: “Barry was featured at our Children’s Awards back in November.
“Owing to the number of people we can recognise at any one time, names are featured within a ceremony only once.”
The comment – which also pointed out that the ‘Chucklevision’ star was honoured in the event’s official brochure – came after Barry’s brother Paul tweeted to agree with fans’ disappointment.
He wrote: “I quite agree my friend. We received our BAFTA’s ten years ago. He should have been mentioned @BAFTA”
Barry’s manager Phil Dale announced the sad news that the entertainer had “passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his wife Ann and all his family” in August last year aged 73 after a battle with cancer.
Speaking earlier this year, Paul admitted he would miss Barry “greatly”.
He said: “All his life, one of his problem was that he hated going to see the doctor. He hated hospitals. He couldn’t stand the smell of them.
“And probably that was a big thing towards his downfall. A lot of men are like that. I’m not … because my missus tells me to go and get that sorted, go and see what that is. But that’s right. You should go.”

Ex-EastEnders boss says Walford should flood if EastEnders ever ends

OHMYGOSSIP — John Yorke says the River Thames should flood Walford and the rest of London if there is ever a finale of the soap.
The BBC One show’s former boss would like the programme to go out in dramatic circumstances if the corporation ever pulled the plug on the show – which scooped the Soap and Continuing Drama prize at last night’s (12.05.19) TV BAFTAs – but admits he is “hopeful” that won’t be anytime soon.
He said: “I’d have the Thames flood all of London – that would do it.
“Hopefully it won’t happen.”
The show certainly doesn’t seem to be coming to an end anytime soon, and Davood Ghadami – who plays Kush Kazemi – admits the stars of the soap are filled with excitement every time they are handed a new script.
He is so keen to find out what happens in the various plots he cannot resist heading straight to the “doof doof” moments to see each episode’s conclusion before reading his own lines.
Speaking in a backstage video on the BAFTA Twitter account, he said: “We sit there in reception and you can see us all opening the brown envelopes going, ‘What’s happening this week?’
“It is exciting every week.
“You look straight at the doof doof and work back.
“You look at everyone else’s storylines and see what everyone else is up to. And from that point on you cannot wait to get on set and film it and see how it all goes.”
‘EastEnders’ – which first began in February 1985 – beat off stiff competition from ‘Casualty’, ‘Coronation Street’ and ‘Hollyoaks’ to land the coveted prize at the TV BAFTAs.

Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry refuses to film with ex Sam

OHMYGOSSIP — Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry is refusing to film anymore scenes with her ex-boyfriend Sam Gowland – and has threatened to quit if bosses put them together.
The 23-year-old reality TV star is still trying to mend her heart after she split from the former ‘Love Island’ hunk last week following a series of rows and, to ensure that she doesn’t have to come face-to-face with her ex-beau while she’s in the healing process, she’s banned producers from putting them on screen together.
A source told The Sun: “Chloe has insisted she’s not going to continue filming scenes with Sam. She’s happy with him staying on the show because she can’t rule his life but she’s asked the producers to make sure he’s no longer in her scenes. With Chloe, it’s literally been a case of, ‘It’s him or me.’
“This has been really tough on them both but Chloe doesn’t want to dread going back into the show she loves just because of her ex. She’s adamant she can make it work, but she’s got to wait for the bosses to make their minds up first.”
The brunette beauty announced she and 23-year-old Sam, whom she dated for just under two years, had gone their separate ways on Instagram last week.
She said via Instagram Story: “It hurts me to say this but me and Sam have gone our separate ways. We are still friends.”
It’s believed their relationship went sour after they began squabbling over money.
An insider said recently: “Sam got jealous that Chloe’s career was taking off and his wasn’t quite as hot. They’d constantly row about work. He wanted to make as much money as he could and retire in two years time, so was constantly looking for ways to monetise their relationship. Chloe just got sick of it and ended it.”

Shirley Ballas wants son to join Strictly Come Dancing judging panel

OHMYGOSSIP — Shirley Ballas wants her son to join the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judging panel.
The 58-year-old head judge is devastated to see her co-star Darcey Bussell leave the show but thinks her son Mark – who is a professional on the US’ version ‘Dancing With the Stars’ – would make a fantastic addition to the show this year.
She said: “My son would love it and I would love a mother and son dynamic on the panel!”
The new series will see the departure of Darcey – who has appeared as a judge on the programme since 2012 – but the panel isn’t the only thing to see a shake up.
Speaking to The Sun, Shirley explained: “The format will more or less never change but I know for sure that they’re making amazing tweaks. I know our new executive producer has some brilliant ideas and I think you’ll be really enthralled. I think they go up a notch every year and I think this year you’ll be quite surprised.
“They put everything they’ve got, the BBC, behind the show to make it entertaining for everyone on a Saturday evening. Even on [the sister show] ‘It Takes Two’ they’ve teamed up Zoe [Ball] with Rylan [Clark-Neal] so there have already been tweaks here and there.
“They’ve got amazing ideas, it’s going to be a big event and I think everyone will enjoy it. I embrace change, I think change is always good.”
And, although Shirley would love to see her son join the panel, she adamant she’ll back the producers regardless of who they choose to sit beside her, Bruno Tonioli and Craig Revel-Horwood because she knows they’ll choose someone with “qualifications.”
She said: “The BBC will make sure the person with the qualifications, who can be there to entertain the public every Saturday evening. Everyone brings something special and unique and I wouldn’t want to single anyone out. I know whoever they pick will be great.”

Huw Edwards wasn’t officially ‘asked’ to do Strictly

OHMYGOSSIP — Huw Edwards hasn’t been asked to do ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 57-year-old newsreader – who was sat in the audience as a guest on the BBC One ballroom and Latin show last year – has clarified his comments earlier this year that suggested he was officially asked to sign up, and admitted “just the thought” of hitting the dancefloor in front of the nation makes him “terrified”.
The broadcaster also admitted that he would struggle to fit in rehearsals with his day job.
Speaking to press backstage at the 2019 BAFTA TV Awards at the Royal Festival Hall on London’s Southbank on Sunday (12.05.19) – where his live coverage of the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance was honoured in the Live Event category – Huw said: I’ve not been asked to do it [Strictly].
“I’d have a conversation about it, but it’s quite a difficult thing to do with my day to day job. That’s the strongest hint I’ll give you.
“Combining that with BBC’s chief news anchor would be quite difficult.”
However, that doesn’t mean he’s ruled out the gig in the future, though he admitted his kids would be less than impressed if he did take part.
He added: “I mean in future, when my professional life may be in a different shape, maybe it’ll look like a different kind of challenge.
“Am I terrified by the thought of it? Yes. Do my kids want me to do it? No. So all of these things are factors but the honest answer is, I’ve not been asked and if I were I’d find it quite difficult with the current job I’m doing. And that’s being more open than I should have been.”
Huw – who was labelled a “silver fox” after shedding three stone last summer – had hinted he’d been asked when he said he wanted to “gauge public opinion” before he agrees to anything.
He said: “Following my stellar appearance reading out the terms and conditions in early December, where I basically set the British television world alight, I was asked if I’d consider Strictly.
“And I think the answer is, Steve, I’ve come here today for some advice. Despite all appearances, I am quite shy.”
He also admitted to being intimated by the glitzy costumes.
He added: “That’s what scares me.”
“I think I’ve just got to ponder it  . . .  just gauge public opinion.”

Hayley Tamaddon is engaged

OHMYGOSSIP — Hayley Tamaddon is engaged.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star has shared the happy news that she is engaged to her partner Adrian, just weeks after they announced they are expecting their first child together.
Taking to Twitter, she wrote: “HE PROPOSED ………….. I said YES!!!! … This year is turning out to be quite wonderful. (sic)”
Hayley – who also starred in ‘Emmerdale’ and won the 2010 series of ‘Dancing In Ice’ – announced the news she is expecting her first child last month.
The 42-year-old actress admitted they “couldn’t be happier”, writing: “EXCITING NEWS TWEET!! … I’m so pleased to tell you all … I’m expecting my first child with my wonderful boyfriend Adrian!! … I’ve always wanted to be a mum and didn’t think I could have children. And now, at the ripe old age of 42 – I’M PREGNANT! … We couldn’t be happier. (sic)”
Before meeting Adrian, the ‘Shameless’ star dated Marcus Brigstocke from 2010 until 2014.
At the time, the actress admitted she was too busy to have children and is “scared” of nappies.
She said: “My body feels 37 but I still feel 21. I sometimes forget that I’m going to be 40. It would be lovely to have kids in the future but for now my main ­concentration is my work. I’m not scared of nappies or screaming babies but I’m just not at that point. Not many of my friends have settled down either. I’m a workaholic. It’s always work, work, work, I can’t switch it off.”
