Olivia Buckland is bed-bound for days sometimes

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Buckland is regularly bed-bound for few days at a time.
The former ‘Love Island’ star – who shot into the limelight in 2016 when she and her now-fiance Alex Bowen fell in love in the villa – was diagnosed with an under-active thyroid when she was just 10 years old and, although she tries not to let her condition affect her life, she has admitted she’s sometimes confined to her bed with exhaustion.
Speaking to OK! Online, she said: “Sometimes I won’t get out of bed for a couple of days. Knowing about it gives you the voice even to say to your friend you’re not being dramatic, horrible or boring, it’s a serious thing.
“I don’t have any energy! A lot of people asked me this but what we see on Instagram is completely different thing. I’m always taking naps and a lot of the times when I don’t post it’s because I’m struggling. I have to take antidepressants now to combat that.”
But it’s not just her depression she has to manage as the 23-year-old beauty – who is set to marry Alex this year – is sometimes struck with anxiety and can’t leave the house.
She said: “The thing is, I’m a confident person but there are times when I suffer. I do suffer badly from anxiety. I want to make sure people know it can happen to anyone and it’s not weird, you just need to talk to people.
“I got back from Milan the other day and I couldn’t even leave the house, I felt like my heart was going all funny. I was meant to go out for a birthday meal but I just sat in and cried. There’s no shame in it, it happens. The key is just remembering to talk to someone you trust, anyone, and trying to remember to breathe in those situations.”

Susie Amy ‘adores’ working with Gary Lucy again

OHMYGOSSIP — Susie Amy “adores” working with Gary Lucy in ‘Hollyoaks’.
The 36-year-old actress worked alongside the handsome star in ‘Footballers’ Wives’ – in which they played husband and wife Kyle Pascoe and Chardonnay Lane-Pascoe – from 2002 until 2003, and are set to reunite on screen next week when the brunette beauty’s alter-ego Scarlett Morgan turns up in Chester to wreak havoc for Gary’s Luke Morgan.
Speaking to Daily Mirror newspaper, Susie said: “I adore him – we’ve got amazing memories of working together in the past – and it’s such a joy to get to work together again, with a totally different character dynamic this time. He hasn’t changed a bit!”
Luke has spent the past few weeks trying to track down his secret wife Scarlett so that he can get divorced and marry his long-term love Mandy Richardson (Sarah Jayne Dunn).
But, in a bid to keep his second life from his partner, Luke and his friend Darren Osborne (Ashley Taylor Dawson) have gone to extreme lengths to delay the wedding.
However, Luke’s worst nightmare comes true when Scarlett – who left him with their son – turns up in the village and is heartbroken to find out he’s planning to remarry.
Susie explained: “I feel delighted. It’s been so much fun. The storylines are brilliant, and I feel very lucky to be involved. Scarlett is a complex character. She has a heart, but she has developed a hardness to her. She loves her son Oliver more than anything, but there is an element of needing to control any situation with him.
“Seeing Luke for the first time in years is bizarre and stirs up all sorts of emotions for Scarlett. He meant so much and he is the father of her much loved son.But she’s angry, so seeing him happy and about to get married is painful – even if she did choose to leave.”

Strictly Come Dancing bosses struggling to find stars for new series

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ bosses are reportedly struggling to find celebrities for the next series.
The popular ballroom and latin show won’t return to screens for another nine months, but producers are said to be panicking as some of the stars – including Lacey Turner, Angela Scanlon, Claude Littner, Mel Giedroyc and actress Martine McCutcheon – that they were keen to sign up have already snubbed the chance because they’re worried about the infamous show curse, which sees relationships falling apart during or just after the show, striking again.
A source told The Sun Online: “‘Strictly Come Dancing’ used to be show that no celebrity ever turned down. But the curse has changed all that. There is now a genuine concern that appearing on the show can negatively impact relationships.”
Jamie Redknapp has reportedly been contacted about the new series now that he’s divorced from Louise Redknapp but he’s snubbed the offer because he believes the BBC One show was to blame for his split from the singer after she competed alongside Kevin Clifton in 2016.
An insider said: “Jamie only has negative feelings about ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ now. There’s absolutely no way he would appear.”
However, not everyone is worried about the curse, Martin Kemp has admitted he’s been asked numerous times to do the show but he keeps turning them down because he can’t dance.
He said: “They ask me a lot [to go on ‘Strictly’] but I think they’ve got so used to me saying ‘No’, they’ve not asked me. I can’t dance. There are some things I have to admit I can’t do.”
But producers may be in luck as Holly Willoughby has admitted she’d love to learn the dance technique following Ruth Langsford attempt last year – but she doesn’t know how well she’d do.
She said recently: “Everyone would be watching me do it and that would be horrendous because I’m not very good at dancing. I’d love to learn to dance but not on telly.”

Emmerdale’s Lawrence and Chrissie White die in horror smash

OHMYGOSSIP — Emmerdale’s Lawrence and Chrissie White have been killed off in a horror smash.
Fans of the long-running soap were left gripped to the edge of their seats in last night’s (11.01.18) double-bill episode as they watched the brunette beauty – Louise Marwood – and the patriarch (John Bowe) lose their lives in a chilling car crash.
The drama unfolded during a high-speed chase involving Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) as the millionaire family attempted to catch him before he managed to sneak away from the dales with his and Rebecca White’s (Emily Head) baby Seb.
However, as the family are racing against the clock to stop Robert, Lachlan White (Thomas Atkinson) suffers a psychotic episode in the front seat when he finds out his mother Chrissie had interfered with his relationship with Belle Dingle (Eden Taylor-Draper) – resulting in her breaking up with him – so that he would go to Australia.
In a moment of madness – and fury – Lachlan lunged for the steering wheel and rammed the car into an oncoming lorry – resulting in his grandfather being killed instantly when he was flung from the vehicle and thrown across the road.
When Robert realised what had happened, he immediately stopped his car, called an ambulance and went to help – only to find Lawrence strewn across the road.
Lachlan then regained consciousness and was racked with guilt over the destruction and harm he had caused, but further panic set in when he saw his mother Chrissie covered in blood. He then tried to apologise to her before she lost her fight for life.
Paramedics managed to get Rebecca out of the back of the car, but it’s not yet known whether she’ll live to fight another day as she flatlined and had to be resuscitated at the hospital, where she currently remains in a critical condition.
Despite the horror he caused, Lachlan managed to escape the crash with a punctured lung and was later comforted by his ex-girlfriend Belle back at the dales.
However, while everyone was feeling sorry for Lachlan, Robert is convinced the youngster had something to do with the crash as he appeared guilty at the scene.

Casey Batchelor: I feel like a small beach whale

OHMYGOSSIP — Casey Batchelor feels like a “small beach whale”.
The 33-year-old beauty is expecting her first baby with boyfriend Dane Goodson, and she has revealed that her famously curvaceous figure has become even more eye-catching five months into her pregnancy.
She wrote on Twitter: “How do I feel like the equivalent to a small beach whale and I’m only just gone 5 months pregnant! My boobs and belly still have more growing to do! God damn you short torso and naturally big boobies! Will all be worth it though (sic)”
Casey also revealed she’s having to go to the toilet every “five minutes” because of her pregnancy.
One of her Twitter followers, @Kat280983, responded to Casey’s initial message by writing: “I know this feeling [laughing emoji] and the bladder the size of a peanut (sic)”
To which the TV star replied: “Every 5 mins [laughing emoji] xx (sic)”
Despite this, Casey predicted that she’ll ultimately miss her baby bump once she’s given birth.
And after another of her followers suggested she’ll look back on her pregnancy experience with fondness, Casey replied: “I know, I’m complaining now but will for sure miss the bump, thank you x (sic)”
Casey has also been keeping her fans up-to-date with her pregnancy journey via her Instagram account.
The brunette beauty – who has more than 271,000 followers on the photo-sharing platform – revealed in November that her “boobs are growing out of control”.
She continued: “I’m beginning to get lumps and bumps in places I’ve never had before and my skin from all the hormones is not very happy aside from the constant nausea and tiredness.
“I’ve always worked hard on eating healthy and keeping fit especially with my yoga, so the changing of my body I am learning to embrace and love every part of you and YES including my BACK FAT!
“My beautiful bump, my stupidly forever growing boobs and my back fat I Love you all, I welcome all the new changes to come throughout my pregnancy. (sic)”

Vicky Pattison wants kids

OHMYGOSSIP — Vicky Pattison has had a change of heart about having children.
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star always vowed she didn’t want to be a mother but her relationship with fiance John Noble and seeing her friends Ferne McCann – who gave birth to daughter Sunday in November – and Casey Bachelor, who is pregnant, focus on their kids has made her think again.
She admitted: “You’ve rumbled me. I’m starting to feel slightly less against the idea of children. John’s friends are having kids, as well as Ferne and Casey.
“I have spoken openly in the past about never having children, but I think that was the stage of life I was at.
“Now I’m moving on and I think it’s reflective of how happy I am.”
However, the 30-year-old star won’t be having children in the near future.
She added: “I’m not rushing into it though. I want to be married and travel first.
“If there’s still life in my dusty old eggs after that, then let’s do it.”
The ‘Ex On the Beach: Body SOS’ host has also turned her back on her old “wild child” ways and has no interest in getting drunk in clubs any more.
She said: “I suppose when you’re happy and content, that sort of thing falls by the wayside. I’ve got no need to be out in clubs – I’ve got what everyone in the clubs is probably looking for. I can honestly say I’m really enjoying this next chapter of my life. Who would have thought it, eh? Vicky Pattison, well known wild child, swaps it all for cheeseboards and hot chocolates.”
Vicky is feeling relaxed about planning her wedding, much to the surprise of her loved ones.
She told Closer magazine: “Everyone was expecting me to a mega bridezilla.
“I know John is on tenterhooks, waiting for me to snap.
“But at the moment, I’m just so happy I’ve found the man of my dreams. I’m excited about the wedding day but I’m most excited about being married to John.”

Daisy Ridley cried when she learned of Rey’s fate

OHMYGOSSIP — Daisy Ridley cried when she was told the original plan for her character in ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’.
The 25-year-old actress plays the part of Rey in the money-spinning sci-fi franchise, and ‘Saturday Night Live’s Bobby Moynihan – who is a mutual friend of Daisy and then-director Colin Trevorrow – has revealed what happened when Daisy learned of Rey’s proposed fate.
He shared: “I was in ‘The Book of Henry’, the movie that Colin Trevorrow directed, and we talked about [‘Star Wars’] a great deal.
“We’re both big fans, one of the reasons why I think he put me in the movie was because we hit it off talking about that.
“I introduced him to Daisy Ridley at the ‘SNL’ after-party, it was the first time they had met. I saw a moment where she said, ‘What happens to me?’ And he said, ‘Do you want to do this now?’ And she said, ‘Yeah,’ and they went off into a corner of the bar and he whispered it into her ear and she started crying.”
However, since that moment, Colin has been replaced as the movie’s director by J.J. Abrams, who previously helmed ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’.
Recalling Daisy’s encounter with the director, Bobby told Collider’s Jedi Council Podcast: “I was like, I’m witnessing ‘Star Wars’ history right now.
“I remember being so amazed and feeling so wonderful and so happy for Colin because he’s such a fan.
“I haven’t spoken to him since the news came out that he’s not doing it, but it kills me because I would’ve loved to see what he would have done with it because he was very passionate about it.”

Lily James wants more female directors in Hollywood

OHMYGOSSIP — Lily James wants to see more female directors working in Hollywood.
The 28-year-old actress has echoed the thoughts of Meryl Streep, who believes there would be fewer instances of abuse and harassment in the movie business if there were more women in positions of power.
Speaking in reference to Meryl’s comments, Lily explained: “There’d be less room for it.
“I’m lucky enough to have just made a film [‘Little Woods’] with a young female director, the producers were women and the story was about women, and it was such a change. I hadn’t experienced that before.
“That needs to become the norm, commonplace, I want to work with female directors as much as I do male directors, I want to look around the crew and not be surrounded by men, so that will be something that hopefully is changing, and I’m so inspired by all these people that are making their voices heard.”
Lily stars as Elizabeth Nel, the personal assistant of Sir Winston Chruchill, in the new war drama ‘Darkest Hour’.
The movie is unlikely to appeal to some of her youngest fans, but Lily believes it’s important that the film reaches a wide audience.
She told the BBC: “We can learn so much from our history.
“Especially at the moment. When you watch a film about a very powerful leader at the time where he really was the voice and will of the people and united the country.
“I don’t think there’s necessarily that kind of strength in leaders at the moment, so I think it’s quite inspiring.”

Ben Whishaw expects Bond 25 filming to start this year

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Whishaw has suggested ‘Bond 25’ could start shooting by the end of 2018.
The ‘Spectre’ actor has also played Q in ‘Skyfall’ and he is set to reprise the role in the upcoming new instalment in the James Bond big screen saga – but he hasn’t had an update from movie bosses “for a while”.
He told the Metro: “I haven’t had an update for a while. I would imagine, I think they have a release date for next year, so I think by the end of this year we have to have started filming something.
“Although it has gone strangely quiet, but that’s often the way it goes.”
Ben’s character – whose initial stands for Quartermaster – is the head of Q Branch (later Division), the fictional research and development division of the British Secret Service.
Q has appeared in 21 of the 24 Eon Productions movies – with the exceptions being ‘Live and Let Die’, ‘Casino Royale’ and ‘Quantum of Solace’.
The role has been played by a number of actors, most notably the late Desmond Llewelyn – who starred as the character in every film except for one from 1963 to 1999.
After Llewelyn’s death in 1999, he was replaced by John Cleese, who starred in two films alongside Pierce Brosnan.
Daniel Craig is slipping into Bond’s tuxedo one final time for his fifth outing as the British agent in the 25th 007 movie.
The 49-year-actor’s motivation for staying in the franchise is, in part, that he will break the late Sir Roger Moore’s record as the longest-serving Bond when 2019 rolls around – the year the film will be released – as he will have been in possession of the iconic part for 13 years.

Black Widow solo movie gets writer

OHMYGOSSIP — A ‘Black Widow’ solo movie could finally be on the way after Jac Schaeffer was hired as the screenwriter.
Scarlett Johansson has starred as Natasha Romanoff’s alter ego in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – including appearances in the likes of ‘Iron Man 2’ and ‘Captain America: Winter Soldier’ – but a stand-alone blockbuster has never been confirmed.
However, as reported by The Wrap, ‘Blacklist’ screenwriter Schaeffer has been hired by Marvel to work on a script, suggesting it could eventually become a reality.
While Scarlett’s contract was due to expire after ‘Avengers 4’ – which will hit the big screen in 2019 – it is said she may have signed an extension to continue playing the former spy.
The 33-year-old actress has appeared as the character seven times to date, but as the money-spinning franchise looks towards its Post-Phase Three – which includes all the movies made after ‘Avengers 4’ – Scarlett has admitted to having mixed feelings.
Speaking recently on the set of the fourth ‘Avengers’ film, she said: “It’s bittersweet to imagine not having these films to come back to. I’ve been living this story with these people for 10 years through ups and downs. We’ve built a great family. Personally, it feels like a loss.”
Despite having mixed feelings, Scarlett feels excited about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
She explained: “It’s very surreal for me to watch these new cast members come in and get their feet wet and breath new life into these characters who are so iconic. I feel a lot of joy for the next generation.
“It’s a bittersweet feeling but overall it’s a positive one. I feel good about the work we’ve done and the work I’ve done.”

Chris Hemsworth ‘throwing ideas around’ for Thor 4

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Hemsworth and Taika Waititi have been “throwing ideas around” for a fourth instalment of ‘Thor’.
The 34-year-old actor – who plays the superhero character in the Marvel series – spent his New Year’s discussing the possibility of a fourth movie about the Norse god but insists it is a long way off before any formal decisions are made.
He told USA Today: “We gave cheers … a few times … We gave cheers to Thor 3. But it also was like what could we do with four? We could do this and this. We were throwing ideas around. But also, just to work together again. That was one of the most enjoyable creative partnerships I’ve ever had.
“It just depends on how The Avengers [movies] all wrap up.I finished shooting and now they are going to edit it and see how the stories play out. There are so many interwoven scenes and stories and characters. [Thor 4] is a conversation for further down the road, if it happens.”
However, Chris has previously insisted he would love the chance to play Thor again.
He said: “If I had the opportunity to do it again, I think I’d love to. I also think there’s an appetite for it now, or there’s a far greater range of possibilities of where he can go now, what he can do, just because we’ve kind of broke the mould a bit. I’ve just, literally two days ago, finished ‘Avengers 4’ and that’s my contract – my pre-existing contract is done now, so it’s kind of like ‘wow, that’s it.'”
And prior to appearing in the third movie, Chris revealed he’d rediscovered his passion for the character.
He added: “Two or three films ago I was like ‘okay, a couple more’. I was enjoying it but I was like … I felt a little restricted. And after this last experience with Taika, and actually these last two ‘Avengers, I feel like we’ve reinvented that character a number of times – even in these next two, he evolves again, and you don’t get that opportunity often in a franchise. So I definitely feel a renewed sense of excitement and enthusiasm, and more so than ever, I think.”

John Williams confirms availability for Star Wars: Episode IX

OHMYGOSSIP — John Williams has told J.J. Abrams he is available to compose the music for ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’.
The 85-year-old composer has confirmed he wants to be involved in the forthcoming film, which comes shortly after the movie music legend revealed he is working on a theme for the Han Solo ‘Star Wars’ spin-off.
Speaking about ‘Episode IX’, he told Variety: “I would very much like to complete that.”
Williams has amassed an incredible 50 Academy Award nominations to date – more than any other living person – and his latest work on ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ and ‘The Post’ could see him top that number.
The composing star – who won Oscars for his scores for movies such as 1977’s ‘Star Wars’, ‘Jaws’ and ‘E.T.’ – recently confirmed he is creating a theme for ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’.
Williams – who has created the score for all of the ‘Star Wars’ movies to date except one, ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’ – said: “The present plan is that I’m writing a theme for Han Solo, and John Powell is going to write the score, which he’ll do brilliantly.
“His assignment is something I’m very happy about. What I will do is offer this to John, and to Ron Howard [director], and if all parties are happy with it, then I will be happy.”
‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ will focus on the early years of Han Solo, the Millennium Falcon-owning space smuggler originally played by Harrison Ford.
Alden Ehrenreich is taking over the iconic role from Ford, who portrayed the character in four films and for the final time in 2015’s ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’.

Khloe Kardashian to appear on Celebrity Big Brother

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian is reportedly set to appear on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ to help support her best friend Malika Haqq.
The 33-year-old reality star – who is currently expecting her first child with her boyfriend Tristan Thompson – could be making a special appearance on the Channel 5 reality show via a video message recorded for her best pal Malika, who is currently a contestant on the show.
A source told The Sun Online: “Everyone is really keen to have Khloe send Malika a video message of support in the house. The team have been working to try and make this happen, it would make for brilliant TV. Just imagine, one of the queens of reality in the place where it all began.”
It comes after the show was forced to deny claims Malika, 34, was being updated on the outside world by Khloe whilst she was in the house.
In one episode, Malika is seen talking about a tweet sent by Khloe in which she asked how she could watch the show to make sure Malika is okay, and show bosses were forced to point out the tweet was sent before the male housemates entered the house on January 5, so any of them could have informed Malika.
A spokesperson said: “Khloe Kardashian tweeted on 3rd January and the male housemates entered the CBB house on 5th January, so it is possible that any of the male housemates would have seen the tweet before entering the CBB house.”
Whilst speaking to fellow housemate Genuwine, Malika revealed she had to “promise” the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star that she would be okay whilst inside the infamous abode.
She said: “My girl had tweeted asking everyone, ‘how can I see her’. I said ‘They’re not gonna go this long without knowing what’s going on with me’. She wants to know everything. She told me she would climb through here and I said ‘If you don’t sit your pregnant a** down …’
“She said ‘I will come find you’ and I was like ‘honey I will be OK, I promise you’.”

Khloe Kardashian to make guest appearance on Celebrity Big Brother?

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian is being lined up to make a guest appearance on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star was devastated when she found out she couldn’t watch her best friend Malika Haqq – who entered the abode 10 days ago – take part in the reality TV show from the US, but now bosses are hoping to organise a video call as part of a challenge so that the pair can be briefly reunited – and hopefully more people will tune in.
A source told The Sun Online: “Everyone is really keen to have Khloe send Malika a video message of support in the house.
“The team have been working to try and make this happen, it would make for brilliant TV. Just imagine, one of the queens of reality in the place where it all began.”
Malika raised eyebrows last week when she was heard commenting on a tweet Khloe had put out about her on January 3 – one day after she entered the abode – sparking rumours she was being given outsider information from inside the house.
However, Channel 5 are adamant Malika has no idea what is going on in the outside world and was told about the tweet from one of the boys because they entered five days later.
They said in a statement: “Khloe Kardashian tweeted on 3rd January and the male housemates entered the ‘CBB’ house on 5th January, so it is possible that any of the male housemates would have seen the tweet before entering the ‘CBB’ house.”
And Khloe is clearly missing her friend as she was desperate to find out how Malika was doing inside the abode and was begging fans to send her links to the British show.
She wrote: “I am so happy for @ForeverMalika being on CBB but I hate that I can’t watch. I have to know what’s going on in there!! Is she ok? I’m trying to find links! Can anyone help me? (sic)”

Matt Chapman quits Dancing on Ice

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Chapman has quit ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The horse racing commentator – who has taken over the reins from the late legendary broadcaster Tony Gubba – was hired to do the voice over for the rebooted skating show but, following a backlash on social media after the first show, he’s decided to walk out.
Speaking to The Sun Online, Matt said: “I’ve decided to hang up my skates, leave the rink and return to the turf and I wish the show the best of luck for the rest of the run.”
Matt had spent months learning the moves and the 12 contestants – comprised of Brooke Vincent, Kem Cetinay and Donna Air – in time for the first show last weekend.
However, his abrupt voice overs and cheesy one liners didn’t impress viewers and many of them took to social media to beg ITV to sack him and find a replacement.
A source explained: “Matt decided he couldn’t make his diary quite work as he thought.
“He’s a big character and a talented sports commentator but he had some mixed reviews in the first show, and he told ITV that perhaps it wasn’t for him after all.
“It was always going to be a big gig following Tony who did eight series before he died in 2013. After Sunday’s show Matt told producers they would have to look elsewhere for a commentator for the rest of the series.”
ITV are now on a desperate to hunt to find someone to fill in for him by this weekend.
And that’s not the only problem bosses have been hit with as singer Lemar – who was brought in as a replacement for cricketer Monty Panesar after he broke his ankle – is currently battling a bad knee and groin injury.
He said: “My left knee needed some attention. It is strapped up still. I will have to wear the straps underneath on the actual night. The groin is the main thing – it hurts. I don’t know how these dancers do it. It is quite painful. I hope I won’t be told that I can’t perform. We have put in quite a few hours so we definitely want to do it. I’m hoping it’s nothing a small overdose of painkillers won’t solve.”

Holly Willoughby keeps eyes shut on Dancing on Ice

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby keeps her eyes shut for most of ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The ‘This Morning’ presenter has just reprised her hosting role on the skating show alongside Phillip Schofield but has admitted there’s a lot of the programme she watches with her hands in front of her face because the moves the celebrities are doing are so dangerous and there’s a chance they could lose a finger live on air.
Speaking to the ‘Loose Women’ panel on Thursday (11.01.18), Phillip said: “Well when they fall down in training, they say ‘if you’re down on the ice, fingers in’ – because they are blades! They can take your fingers off!”
Holly added: “There’s a lot of the show I don’t watch, I have my eyes shut because I can’t watch it!”
‘Dancing on Ice’ returned to screens earlier this year following four yeas off-air but, despite the time that has passed, Holly is certain it still has the feel-good factor.
She added: “Do you know what? It’s really nice to be back it’s got that same feeling that it’s always had but it’s been given a boost.”
And she is really enjoying seeing Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean adapt to their judging roles alongside Ashley Banjo and Jason Gardiner after being coaches for so long.
She explained: “They’ve got a different role and actually it’s really nice they had so much input before, but this time on the actual night you hear more from them.”
Meanwhile, although the 36-year-old beauty is glad to be back presenting the programme, she says there’s no way she’ll slip on a pair of skates and hit the rink.
She explained: “It’s too dangerous! Way too dangerous!”
While Phillip would like to try his luck in the jungle for ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’, Holly suggested her talents and passion would lead her to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, although she doesn’t have the confidence.
She added: “I’m obsessed with ‘Strictly’, so I’d love to learn to dance, but I’d be embarrassed to do it on the telly, which would be a problem.”
