OHMYGOSSIP — Jamie Oliver is set to host new cooking show ‘Jamie’s Air-Fryer Meals’.
The 48-year-old celebrity chef, who has fronted a string of cookery programmes, like ‘Jamie’s 15 Minute Meals’, is ready to take to the kitchen once more to teach viewers how to master their air-fryers for a new Channel 4 show.
In a statement, executive producer of the programme Katie Millard said: “Jamie’s air-fryer recipes are already a huge hit on our website, with over 500,000 views so far.
“Jamie was able to respond to the huge public demand for more air-fryer recipes and loved every second developing the new recipes.
“As this series will show, there is so much more to an air-fryer than nuggets and chips.”  
The cook will also be joined by a different guest chef in each episode, including TikTok star and Michelin-trained cook Poppy O’Toole, and ‘Celebrity Masterchef’ star Sabrina Gidda.
Although Jamie has become one of nation’s favourite chefs, and is known for his happy-go-lucky approach to cooking, the TV star previously revealed that the hobby had saved his life, and that he would have been “utterly miserable without it”.
He told The Sun newspaper: “Cooking genuinely saved my life. I would have been utterly miserable without it.
“Although school work was really hard, I was good at other stuff and that meant my mental health didn’t suffer. I knew there would always be a chef’s job for me and I would always be all right.”
Jamie has also passed on his passion for cooking to his 13-year-old son Buddy, who has is reportedly due to receive his own BBC show following the success of his YouTube series ‘Cooking Buddies’.
A source told The Sun: “Buddy has taken all of his dad’s experience on board and is about to put it into play with his own cookery show.
“He’s already had great success with content on YouTube and Instagram. Jamie’s fans have long been asking for his son to have his own show for their kids to enjoy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stacey Dooley wishes she “brought some earplugs” after being kept up by women working in a brothel.
The 37-year-old TV star, who has fronted a number of hard-hitting documentaries for her ‘Stacey Dooley Investigates’ series on BBC Three, is gearing up for the second season of ‘Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over USA’, where she will spend the first episode of the UKTV show at the country’s only legal brothel – the Mustang Ranch – in Nevada.
However, the presenter admitted she couldn’t get to sleep after hearing the women at work.
She told The Sun newspaper: “The sole purpose of this room is to service the client. I’ve got girls either side of me, that’s the only thing. I should’ve brought some earplugs!”
After meeting some of the workers, including Missy, Stacey revealed she could “hear everything” through the walls, and emphasised the women “must be absolutely exhausted” after hearing them work all night long.
She explained: “You could hear everything! Missy was right next door, and she was such a sweetheart.
“She had one night where she had one after the other, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, this girl mist be absolutely exhausted.’”
Aside from her documentaries, Stacey is well-known for appearing on and winning the 2018 series of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, where she struck up a relationship with her partner Kevin Clifton.
The couple have since gone on to welcome daughter Minnie in January 2023.
Despite having tackled some particularly harrowing subjects across her TV career, Stacey insisted that becoming a mother was the hardest thing she has ever had to do.
Speaking to The Sun, she said: “To say I have found the last couple of months easy would be totally disingenuous.
“I used to think people were exaggerating and being melodramatic when they were saying how hard it is. But, honest to God, it’s the hardest gig you’ll ever do.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jay Blades once lost £24,950 on a table restoration.
‘The Repair Shop’ star and furniture restorer has recalled been given what appeared to be an unremarkable table, which he decided to rub down and paint all black, only for a colleague to pull out a drawer and notice “a sign” on the side.
Appearing on Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett’s ‘Dish’ podcast, he said: “I rang this guy in Scotland, and he said to me what the actual thing was.
“It was some really expensive table… without doing anything to it, it was worth £25,000 – and I had painted it black.
“I told the guy… and he goes – what he said to me, this antique dealer – he called me a couple of names… effed and blinded, and then he said, ‘Well, look, all seriousness, that table is probably worth about £15 now.’
“We sold it for £50 actually – still, it’s not good.”
Jay also reflected on his friendships with the likes of King Charles – who he gets on with “like a house on fire” – and Dame Judi Dench, who he almost stood up for lunch.
He admitted: “The traffic was bad, and it was raining. We were over an hour late… but she welcomed us with open arms.”
Jay still can’t believe the experiences he’s had, including his recent series ‘David and Jay’s Touring Toolshed’ with ‘Only Fools And Horses’ legend Sir David Jason, who he affectionally called “DJ” during filming.
He reflected: “It’s unbelievable. Sometimes when I pause and look at my life, I’m just like, ‘Really? Is that me? It’s like, is this really happening to me?’
“The types of friends now that I can call up it’s like… I never would have thought this would ever have happened to me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tina Malone has been left “totally devastated” following the death of her husband.
The former ‘Shameless’ actress has shared her “heartbreak” following the sad loss of Paul Chase Malone on Wednesday (13.03.24) morning, though the details surrounding his passing have not been revealed.
Tina, 61, wrote on X: “It’s with total heartbreak I write this my husband Paul chase Malone passed away this morning we are totally devastated.(sic)”
Tina and Paul married in 2010, and welcomed their daughter Flame into the world in 2013, but they separated in 2019, only to reconcile months later.
The former ‘Brookside’ actress explained in 2020 that they had got back together because the “love never went away”.
She told Closer magazine at the time: “The love never went away, we’re working on things now, our problems were compounded by depression but I learned that in tough times you have to pull together and not apart.
“We were either arguing, bickering or not talking at all, I’d end up putting Flame to bed and falling asleep next to her.
“Paul and I had always had a great sex life but were barely touching each other. At one point, we didn’t have sex for five months.”
And just last year, Tina – who also has 41-year-old daughter Dannielle from a previous relationship – revealed there was still “so much passion” between her and Paul.
She said: “Paul and I still have so much passion, after 13 years you know each other so well.
“He still gives me butterflies!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Garraway is set to host a new documentary about the final year of her husband’s life.
Derek Draper, Kate’s husband, died in January aged 56 after suffering a cardiac arrest, and Kate is set to front a new ITV documentary about the last 12 months of his life, titled ‘Kate Garraway: Derek’s Story’.
The 56-year-old TV presenter – who married Derek in 2005 – said: “Obviously, when we started making this documentary early last year, we had no idea the events that would unfold that ultimately took Derek from us.
“And in January 2024, I wondered if it was right that it should ever come to air.
“But I didn’t want to let those who have given us so much support over the last four years down, and the carers paid and unpaid who, in their thousands of letters to me, feel Derek’s story has given them a voice.
“Also, I remembered so vividly that the idea of making this third documentary at all came from Derek himself.”
The upcoming documentary will explore Derek’s struggles with COVID-19 and the care he required.
Kate has hailed the project – which will air later this month – as a “tribute” to her late husband.
She said: “I am delighted that the film is a tribute to Derek, his incredible spirit and a tribute to all of those who fight on to make every second of life count, whatever is thrown at them.”
Jo Clinton-Davis, the controller of factual at ITV, is also keen to share Derek’s story with TV viewers.
Jo said: “We can see in Derek Draper’s story the individual tragedy of a life devastated by illness, but also the wider perspective of how a family is impacted.
“Derek’s desire for his story to be filmed, along with Kate in their home, provides an insight into both their personal struggles as well highlighting the exhausting challenges of caring for a family member in the home within our care system.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The BBC is reportedly planning to put more women on screen.
The broadcaster is said to be taking action after it was noted that in current schedules, only men present Saturday night entertainment across both the BBC and ITV and is a “tad embarrassed” at the findings, especially following the success of Claudia WInkleman and Tess Daly fronting ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in the run-up to Christmas.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: The Beeb’s very proud to have its biggest show hosted by two hugely talented, high-profile women.
“Tess and Claudia’s popularity on ‘Strictly’ is proof you don’t need leading men to guarantee a hit show.
“It is also pleased to say it had the first two female hosts of a big show — Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins fronting ‘The Great British Bake Off ‘when it was on the Beeb. But it is also a tad embarrassed by the fact that, when the dance show isn’t airing, almost all of its other big weekly shows are not fronted by female talent.”
Since the onset of the new year, BBC One’s Saturday night schedule has been dominated by ‘Gladiators’ – which is hosted by father-and-son duo Bradley and Barney Walsh – as well as Michael McIntyre’s ‘The Wheel’ and ‘The Weakest Link’, which is presented by Romesh Ranganathan.
Meanwhile over on ITV on Saturday night, there was ‘Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’, Lee Mack with ‘The 1% Club’, followed by T’he Jonathan Ross Show’.
The insider added: “It’s not a deliberate move, just an unfortunate coincidence.
“But it’s one they really want to tackle moving forward, whether that’s utilising existing stars or finding new ones. If it can achieve that, it knows it will have stolen a march on its arch rivals over at ITV.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James Lock thinks he is getting “carried away” with cosmetic work.
The37-year-old reality star – who has appeared on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ since 2013 – has had a raft of work done since becoming famous but will always “find fault” in his appearance no matter how much he goes through.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’, he said: “I’ve had my eyes done, my nose done, you’re getting carried away. Something that would have taken a couple of hours, a couple of pictures, now takes a full day. Sometimes I’m being irrational. I’m a good looking guy, I’m in good shape, but I will still find fault – whether I’m on set or even if I’m going away on holiday or doing a shoot for a brand, I will find fault.
“I started off with a hair transplant, I’ve had my ears done, my teeth done – that’s a standard thing for everyone at the minute.
“Recently I did another TV show and injured myself a little bit. The injuries were bad, but they weren’t as bad as what I created in my head. So I’ve had my eyes done, my nose done. You’re getting carried away.”
The former ‘Celebrity Ex on the Beach’ star added that one moment he can be “rational” about his whole hangup but then the next he can be at work doing a photoshoot and spend the whole day criticising himself in what he looks like.
He said: “I can sit here and be rational about it but a couple of days ago I’m doing a shoot and what should take half an hour takes a full day because I’m finding fault in everything and I’m comparing myself to my competition.
“Remember, the show’s that I’ve been on, we might be all be friends, but we’re all in competition.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Neil Morrissey has no plans to retire.
The 61-year-old actor opted not to celebrate his most recent birthday by taking his partner Emma Killick and some friends to Barcelona and joked that he doesn’t have any plans to quit acting just yet because scriptwriters always need “old blokes” for television.
He told Metro newspaper’s SixySeconds column: “I had a big 50th rather than 60th. I went to [‘Men Behaving Badly’ co-star] Martin Clunes’s 60th and that was a lovely big show. My 60th, I didn’t want the pressure of that. I was in Barcelona with Emma and two other friends. Emma is Australian and they were friends from Australia who were visiting so we had a great time. We had dinner, drank too much wine and had good fun.
“The great thing about this job is they always need old blokes, don’t they? I suspect I’ll be wheeled out on the odd occasion to be Old Bloke Who Dies In Hospital or Old Bloke Who Is Run Over, or someone’s grandad. Actually, I’ve already been grandad. I’m moving into great-grandad territory now… I imagine I’ll be doing it for a good while longer.”
Meanwhile, the former ‘Waterloo Road’ actor is now appearing opposite Sally Lindsay in the Channel 5 drama ‘Love Rat’, which follows a divorcee who falls victim to a con artist on holiday.
Neil loved getting the chance to work with former ‘Coronation Street’ star Sally, 50, and thinks the audience will also relish in her performance.
He said: “It was exciting to go and work with someone who you hope is going to be great and of course she was. Sally’s such a hard worker. She puts everything into it. It was difficult for her because every single scene is her being oppressed, being attacked, being chased, having to deal with the emotional issues and carrying the storytelling of the drama. Some people are going to think her character is an idiot. Other people are going to be going, ‘Go for it, girl!'”
