OHMYGOSSIP — Sandra Martin is “so excited” for ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The ‘Gogglebox’ star has remained tight-lipped on whether she would be entering the famous abode next week when the new all-female series kicks off, but it seems she couldn’t keep it a secret any longer and admitted she’s been asked to take part.
Speaking to The Sun Online, she said: “I’m so happy right now, I’m in a great place.
“I’m going into ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ next week and I’m so excited.”
Sandra was persuaded to do the new series by her former co-star Sandi Bogle – who did the show last summer – and she’s hoping to achieve the same success as her.
An insider said: “Sandra is heading into the house – she’s heard a lot about it from Sandi and after Sandi’s success on the show, she wants to try it out herself. She’s outgoing, not afraid to speak her mind and wants to grow her profile, so she’ll be great in the house. Sandi told her it’s one of the best things she’s ever done.”
Not much is known about the new series of ‘CBB’ but it’ll hit screens on January 2, 2018, and will see an all-female cast head into the iconic house in commemoration of 100 years since women won the right to vote.
A statement from Channel 5 said: “Presented by Emma Willis, ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ will initially explore how the all-female housemates interact, from politicians to performing artists, as they enter the house first, ahead of the celebrity male housemates. Over the course of the series, as the male counterparts enter the house, the housemates will take part in a series of entertaining tasks and hidden experiments which will test their – and our – assumptions, challenge gender stereotypes and reveal fascinating truths about what it is to be a woman – and man – in the 21st century.”
The line up is yet to be confirmed by Channel 5.

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Buckland wants to get married in Essex next year.
The former ‘Love Island’ star and her fiance Alex Bowen – who met on the reality TV show last year – were initially in two minds about where they wanted to tie the knot but have no decided that they’re going to get hitched in a gorgeous manor house in their native county.
She explained: “We’ve decided we’re definitely getting married in Essex. There are so many beautiful houses and gardens around the area, so that’s sort of the vibe we want to go for. Alex is quite vocal about what he likes – a little too vocal sometimes.”
However, although she can’t wait to marry the love of her life, the 23-year-old beauty has admitted she’s “dreading” walking down the aisle is convinced she’ll be sick with nerves beforehand.
She said: “I’m such an anxious person, so I’m going to be terrible leading up to the day. I’m just hoping I don’t get sick on the day because of nerves. Walking down the aisle freaks me out. I’m dreading the moment.”
But one thing Olivia won’t have to worry about is her body as the blonde bombshell is doing all she can to make sure she’s in perfect shape for her big day – but thinks it will be ruined if she gets a spot.
She added: “I’m really body confident at the moment and I go to the gym four or five times a week. The wedding isn’t until next year, so I’m just being sensible. But I’m drinking way more water because I don’t want any spots on my wedding day – that would ruin it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Thomas’ “favourite thing” about ‘Emmerdale’ is leaving the soap.
The 29-year-old actor bowed out of the long-running show as Adam Barton in explosive scenes this week but, although he was part of the programme for eight years, he has admitted he’s glad he’s left because he didn’t enough air time.
A fan messaged him on Twitter asking: “Gutted you have left Emmerdale! Going to miss you! And miss your scenes with @DannyBMiller what has been your favourite thing about Emmerdale?”
To which Adam simply replied: “Leaving”.
Another questioned: “Can I just say how gutted I am that even in your last week, Emmerdale aren’t giving you the air time you deserve. You are an extremely talented actor and I wish you all the best for the future.”
The hunk said: “I’m used to it [crying with laughter emojis] but thanks anyway…. just to be part of that show is good enough for me.”
It seems the former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ star has had a change of heart as just days ago he was begging bosses to give him his job back.
He said: “Dear @emmerdale I know it’s only been a few weeks but am ready to come bk now even if I am a ghost … it’s been done before (sic).”
Adam – whose brother Ryan Thomas was formerly a star on rival soap ‘Coronation Street’ – joined the Dales in 2009, and has had several dramatic storylines since.
Most notably, his character was seen suffering a breakdown and committing arson after John Barton, the man he believed to be his father, died.
His character was also involved in a plot which had him mistakenly believe he had fathered Luca, the son of Vanessa Woodfield (played by Michelle Hardwick), after Rakesh Kotecha (Pasha Bocarie) – who is the father of Luca’s biological father Kirin (Adam Fielding) – doctored the DNA test results.
He announced his decision to leave the show earlier this year.

OHMYGOSSIP — Cara Kilbey has given birth to a baby boy.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star and her long-term partner Daniel Harris –
who already have 22-month-old daughter Penelope together – welcomed their second child into the world on December 28 and have decided to cal him Hunter.
Alongside a photograph of the tiny tot’s feet, she wrote: “Welcome to the World… Hunter James Harris 28.12.2017 8lb9oz (sic),” followed by a blue heart emoji.
The 30-year-old beauty announced she and Daniel – who spent a year behind bars in 2016 for masterminding a drugs empire – were expecting again in June.
Cara uploaded a black-and-white photograph of her cradling her blossoming baby bump while her daughter Penelope copied her pos and accompanied it with the caption: “‘Oh Baby Baby #babyno2 #2under2’ (sic)”
Her happy news came two years after she tragically miscarried her first child five months into her pregnancy.
However, six months later, Cara fell pregnant with Penelope Blu and realised she was expecting again while she was on holiday in Thailand with her boyfriend Daniel – just two days after they lit a lantern in memory of their lost child.
She said at the time: “I was so nervous up until the 20 week scan. I’ve been trying to relax and enjoy my pregnancy but there’s always been a niggle of worry.
“Now I’ve got past that point and everything is perfectly healthy, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can start getting excited.
“Daniel and I knew we wanted to get pregnant again straight away so I was overjoyed when I found out I was expecting two months later.
“I can see how something that traumatic can break up a couple. But we saw a different more caring side to each other and it brought us so much closer.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeremy McConnell has got his prison number tattooed on his leg.
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star has decided to get the bizarre inking on his thigh to “serve as a reminder” of his shocking behaviour, which saw him assault his ex-girlfriend Stephanie Davis while she was holding their 11-month-old son Caben, and to make sure he doesn’t return to the life he was living before he went to prison.
A source told The Sun Online: “Jeremy wanted to get a tattoo of his prison number on his leg to serve as a reminder.
“He is making a clean start and won’t go back to the life he had before. This tattoo is a permanent reminder of that and it means a lot to him.”
The 28-year-old hunk was released from prison earlier this week – just 34 days into his five-month sentence – and will now be fitted with an electronic tag.
A source said recently: “Jez was so excited to walk around as a free man. He kept his spirits up in prison and now he’s out it’s a fresh start for him. Jez told us prison food was sh*t and was in great form, laughing and joking with us. All of his mates are pleased he’s going to be out for New Year after spending Christmas inside.”
After leaving prison this week, he told followers on Instagram: “Thanks for all your messages. I’ve read so much lies and it’s incredible. Have a good New Year.”
Jeremy was slapped with 200 hours of community service in August – narrowly missing out on prison – after he was found guilty of assaulting Stephanie.
But he hit the headlines just days after he started the unpaid work in Glasgow, Scotland, as he allegedly refused to scrub off some graffiti as he believed the spray-painted wall was created by famous artist Banksy.
A source said previously: “He has refused to scrub graffiti because he believes the artwork is a Banksy – and he’s told officials.
“A decision is yet to be made about Jeremy and how he will continue his community service going forward. He could end up in real trouble over it.”
He then jetted off to Turkey without permission – breaching the terms and conditions of his suspended sentence – to get a hair transplant and new teeth.
He appeared at Cardiff Magistrates Court at the end of November regarding the breach and was slapped with an 18-week prison sentence.
As well as his community service, Jeremy was also ordered to pay £1,000 in court costs, £1,000 in compensation to Stephanie and a victims surcharge of £115.
He’s also been told to stay away from Stephanie, 24, for three years and any communication regarding Caben has to be done via social services.

OHMYGOSSIP — Alesha Dixon’s New Year’s resolution is to be more selfish.
The 39-year-old singer – who has four-year-old daughter Azura – vows to spend “more time” on herself in 2018, and instead of working when she is “not 100 per cent” she intends to take “more care” of her health and well being and put herself first.
Speaking to Closer magazine, the ‘Breathe Slow’ hitmaker said: “The good news is that I run my own diary. I make time, though – I’m the queen of juggling. But my new Year’s resolution for 2018 will be to take more time for myself. I haven’t been selfish enough this year. I’ll sometimes go to work when I’m not 100 per cent, so I’m going to take more care of myself.”
And Alesha has hinted she thinks she will be able to achieve this goal, because she has successfully stuck to the resolution she set in 2016 for this year, which was to be “more creative.”
The former Mis-Teeq band member said: “My New Year’s resolution last time was to have a more creative year and I have done that – 2017 has been super busy. I’m releasing my next fashion collection with Little Black Dress, I’ve been working on my music, doing a lot of writing and I’ve just finished a children’s book.”
Although the ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge has had a busy work schedule over the past 12 months, and has had to juggle motherhood with her career, she has enjoyed every moment of it.
She added: “I’m juggling quite a few creative projects as well as being a mum, so it’s been hectic, but it’s been great”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlotte Crosby wants Louisa Johnson to sing at her wedding.
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star, 27, is hoping to have a “big” ceremony when she and her on/off boyfriend Stephen Bear get married – despite the fact they’re not even engaged yet and break up all the time – and is hoping the former ‘X Factor’ winner, who nabbed the crown in 2015, will agree to perform during the reception.
She explained: “I’d be so excited to plan a wedding! I’ve been thinking that if I make friends with Louisa Johnson, because we get our hair done at the same place, then maybe I could get her to sing. I’ve tweeted James Arthur in the past so I’m sure I could probably get him too.”
The blonde babe is hoping that she and Bear get hitched and then have a baby.
She added: “You never know what’s going to happen but I’d love to get married first and then have a really amazing honeymoon. My dream would be to take a month off and travel around American in an open-top car and then conceive the baby on the honeymoon. I’d like us to be engaged by the end of next year and then for us to get married within a year and a half or two years. I don’t think there’s any rush because I think being engaged is good enough; it’s like you’re married anyway.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jack P Shepherd doesn’t talk to Michelle Keegan anymore.
The ‘Coronation Street’ hunk – who is known for portraying former bad boy David Platt in the soap – may have locked lips with the brunette beauty, who played Tina McIntyre until she was killed off in 2014, on numerous occasions on the soap but has now cut off all communication with her.
He explained: “We don’t actually talk anymore. We don’t keep in touch. It’s awkward. I never keep in touch with people when they leave. I never want to ask where they’re working in case they aren’t and they ask me for money.”
Meanwhile, Jack has had somewhat of a difficult year over the past 12 months as he split from his long-term partner fiancée Lauren Shippey in September and, although they’re still living together, they’ve told their friends and family that they’re “over”.
A spokesperson said previously: “Jack and Lauren remain the best of friends and their main focus is the care of their children.”
This isn’t the first time the pair – who have Nyla and Reuben together – have called time on their relationship as Lauren previously threw the 29-year-old hunk out of their family home in 2011 when she found out he’d fathered another child.
A DNA test revealed that he was the father of a baby boy called Greyson, now five, who was born with a rare and painful condition Alternating Hemiplegia Of Childhood, following a one-night stand with sales executive Sammy Milewski.
Jack – who had been with Lauren since they were both 14 – managed to persuade his partner to forgive him after he proposed with a £3,000 engagement ring.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Luther’ could come to an end after the next instalment.
The popular BBC drama sees Idris Elba star as DCI John Luther, and writer Neil Cross has hinted that they may bow out with “one more really big series”, although he’s unsure what the future holds for the show just yet.
He told Digital Spy: “Idris and I talked seriously about what we wanted to do, and what I can say is that season five is huge.
“It’s going to be the biggest we’ve done. We’re really excited by the script, and the story – and Idris and I are very aware that whenever we’ve done another series, we’re like, ‘That’s it’.
“Idris has a big career. And we leave and then we all start missing it in a couple of weeks, and I start stockpiling Luther ideas and making Luther notes. And we know that we always come back – so we want to come back and do one more really big series.
“What happens after that, we haven’t decided…”
The new series is currently in pre-production and will start filming next month.
Meanwhile, Neil and Idris are both toying with the idea of writing a ‘Luther’ movie.
The show has proven to be a huge hit with TV watchers and Neil has admitted he’s found it hard to walk away from the character.
Asked if he still hopes to make a ‘Luther’ film, he said previously: “Absolutely. The fact is that Idris and I are bound in this shared relationship with this character and every TV [season] we think it’s going to be the end, not least because Idris is a very busy and has a successful career but we always miss him when it’s over and then I start coming up with ideas and we always come back for more.
“For no other reason than we love doing it. Hopefully in some incarnation, the character will continue.”
However, Neil admitted he doesn’t specifically know how a movie version would differ from the TV series.
He reflected: “It’s always going to be slightly different because of how long you have to tell a story.
“Ultimately, whatever ‘Luther’ story you tell, in whatever medium, has to focus on that character so in some ways it will be exactly the same because it will be about him.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Joel Dommett asked his partner Hannah Cooper to marry him by writing it in his book.
The 32-year-old comedian recently admitted he had popped the question to his girlfriend in an adorable Instagram post confirming their engagement, but it has now been revealed he chose an unusual method of asking for her hand in marriage, as he penned the words into the pages of his upcoming book ‘It’s Not Me, It’s Them: Confessions of a Hopeless Modern Romantic’.
The book doesn’t hit shelves until February, but the words “Will you marry me?” have been inked into the final page, following two pages of dedication to his partner of one year.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “He managed to keep it under wraps for weeks – he was so determined to keep it a secret. It’s so romantic and of course Hannah wasn’t expecting it at all.
“You can’t get a better proposal than that – it’s in black and white. It was the perfect way to ask her. And as we can all see from the way he announced the engagement on Instagram – he likes to be different.”
The news follows the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ star’s quirky Instagram video which confirmed his engagement, which featured the lock on a toilet door which turns from “Vacant” to “Engaged”.
Joel and Hannah met last year after Hannah messaged him on Instagram following his stint in the ‘I’m A Celebrity…’ jungle.
The star previously recalled: “We met on Instagram. She sent me a cat emoji with the heart eyes.
“That is the modern equivalent of the old phrase ‘you had me at hello’, now it’s ‘you had me at cat emoji’.
“It’s so wonderful, we are so happy. She’s very beautiful, I’m a very lucky lad.
“She’s very busy as well, weirdly it works out really well because she works all the time and I work all the time and we never see each other.
“We just kind of find those moments where we both go ‘I’m free then are you free then? We are free then, go go go!’
“I’ve dated people before where they have worked a 9 to 5 or something and it works better than a 9 to 5 because I work in the evenings so it works.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Colin Trevorrow has said the ending of ‘Jurassic Word: Fallen Kingdom’ will pave the way for the planned trilogy’s third movie.
The 41-year-old filmmaker helmed both 2015’s ‘Jurassic World’ and it’s sequel – which will hit cinemas in June next year – and whilst he is adamant that the second feature won’t end on a cliffhanger, he has admitted it will set up the story for a third instalment.
He said: “At the end of this movie, it’s not a cliffhanger, but it’s designed for people to want to know what’s going to happen next, whereas the earlier ‘Jurassic Park’ movies had pretty clear definitive endings. They were much more episodic. In working with Derek Connolly, my co-writer, we were also thinking about where it was gonna go in the future.”
The filmmaker insists there are definitely plans in place for a third movie, as he knows exactly where he wants to the storyline to go.
When asked about a third instalment, he said: “Yes, absolutely … I knew where I wanted it to go. I remember telling Steven [Spielberg] even while we were still making the first movie, ‘This is the beginning. Here is the middle. And here’s the end of the end. This is where we want to go.’ I feel like that kind of design is crucial to a franchise like this if you really want to bring people along with you and make sure they stay interested. It needs to be thought through on that level. It can’t be arbitrary, especially if we want to turn this into a character-based franchise with people who you lean in to follow what they’re going to do.”
Colin also revealed there is an underlying theme of “greed” throughout the movie series – which is a sequel trilogy to the famous ‘Jurassic Park’ series – as both the first and second movies centre around the “darkest and worst instincts of humans”.
Speaking during an interview published on YouTube by Sebas Tabany, Colin said: “To me it’s about greed. The first film is about how if there’s money on the table, there will be somebody who will do the worst imaginable things, or in a lot of case, the dumbest imaginable thing in order to get that money. This film focuses a little bit more on our responsibility for these animals that we’ve made as a result of that greed, but also just the darkest and worst instincts of humans, again, if there’s money involved.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelly Marie Tran wanted her ‘Star Wars’ character’s backstory to be “as personal as possible”.
The 28-year-old actress joined the popular sci-fi franchise as Resistance fighter Rose Tico in the eighth instalment ‘The Last Jedi’, but although scenes with her on-screen sister were cut, Tran knew her character’s backstory and she even created an “audiobook”.
Speaking to Detroit Free Press, Tran said: “We actually had lines in the movie that were cut out that said exactly where they were from.
“So I did know their backstory in terms of that, but other than that I tried to make it as personal as possible.
“Even if it wasn’t something that was canon, I made that relationship in my mind. I think as an actor you create things for your character that you think will make it more personal to you, because on the day you want to make sure that you’re truly there in the moment.
“So for me, I invented these things – and then I ended up doing this audiobook and finding out what in the canon is their true story.”
‘The Last Jedi’ has been met with mixed reviews but has also been hailed for being one of the most diverse films in the hit franchise.
And Tran, who was born in San Diego after her parents emigrated to the US from Vietnam, said it was an “honour” and “responsibility” to represent Asian people in ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’.
She said: “A lot of ‘Star Wars’ fans who are specifically Asian never had a character they could dress up like, or they would and people would always call them ‘Asian Rey’ or ‘Asian fill-in-the-blank.’
“I get very emotional when I see people who are able to identify with this character. That means a lot to me and I don’t think it will ever get old.
“It’s been both an honour and a responsibility. I feel so overwhelmed. I remember what it felt like to not see anyone like myself in books or on film or on TV.
“When you’re really young, you tend to fall in love with characters. If you start seeing the same type of character everywhere and realise that they don’t look like you, or they don’t speak like you, you start wanting to change who you are.
“That’s something that I did when I was a young kid. I’m excited to be a part of this positive change.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Winslet was “nervous” when she agreed to star in ‘Wonder Wheel’.
The 42-year-old actress stars as Ginny in the recently released Woody Allen movie, and has said that whilst she was “incredibly excited” to work with the filmmaker, she found her character – who is an emotionally volatile former actress now working as a waitress, and is married to a man she hates – difficult to play, and was worried her performance would go “wrong”.
She said: “I just didn’t think I knew how to play the part, I just didn’t think I had the stuff to be able to do it. Everything Ginny feels is gigantic … She’s an awful mother, and I don’t like playing people who are bad mothers … There were many, many reasons why I was nervous to play it, because I felt like I could have got it wrong so easily.”
Kate admitted she was considering voicing her concerns to Allen and giving up the role she was offered, but her 17-year-old daughter Mia – whom she has with former husband Jim Threapleton – convinced her to go for it.
The blonde beauty – who also has 14-year-old son Joe with ex-husband Sam Mendes, and four-year-old son Bear with current spouse Ned Rocknroll – ended up in awe of the filming process, and has praised Woody Allen for his “unbelievable” female characters.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter’s ‘Awards Chatter’ podcast, she said: “He writes these very, very layered female characters that are unbelievable. I mean, just unbelievably full and rich and vulnerable and strong. It was like driving very, very fast in a really difficult-to-maneuver car with a seatbelt that kept coming unclipped.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Ridley Scott has claimed most of the script for ‘Blade Runner 2049’ was his.
The Iconic British director helmed the original sci-fi movie in 1982, and when asked why he thinks the latest remake starring Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford was a failure at the box office, the 80-year-old filmmaker was keen to point out that he believes he penned most of the lines.
He also thinks it wasn’t a success because it was “way too long”.
Scott told Vulture.com: “[Whispers] I have to be careful what I say. I have to be careful what I say. It was f**king way too long. F**k me! And most of that script’s mine.”
When asked: “Really?”, he replied: “Yes!”
Scott says he doesn’t want to dedicate his time to proving the copyright belongs to him.
Quizzed on whether it is the script or the story that belongs to him, he said:
“I sit with writers for an inordinate amount of time and I will not take credit, because it means I’ve got to sit there with a tape recorder while we talk. I can’t do that to a good writer.
“But I have to, because to prove I’m part of the actual process, I have to then have an endless amount [of proof], and I can’t be bothered.”
It comes after ‘Blade Runner 2049’ director Denis Villeneuve said he had to ask Scott to leave the film set – because he couldn’t work under the pressure of being watched by his hero.
The ‘Arrival’ director and Scott did work closely on the script of the sequel, but Villeneuve helmed it alone.
Villeneuve said previously: “He came on set one day and after a few minutes standing behind me it was unbearable.
“I made a joke, I asked him, ‘Hey Ridley – who is your favourite director?’ And he said, ‘I love Kubrick and Bergman.’
“‘So Ridley, how [would] you feel if you were on set and you had Bergman just behind you?’
“And he burst out laughing and he walked off the set.
“Because I was trying to direct Harrison Ford and I was like, ‘No, it doesn’t work.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeremy McConnell thought the food he ate in prison was “sh**.”
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star is said to be in “great form” after he was released from behind bars yesterday (27.12.17) – just 34 days into his five-month sentence – but wasn’t impressed with the grub he was served up every day inside.
A source told The Sun Online: “Jez was so excited to walk around as a free man. He kept his spirits up in prison and now he’s out it’s a fresh start for him.
“Jez told us prison food was sh*t and was in great form, laughing and joking with us. All of his mates are pleased he’s going to be out for New Year after spending Christmas inside.”
The 28-year-old star will now be fitted with an electronic tag and given a curfew.
After leaving prison this week, he told followers on Instagram: “Thanks for all your messages. I’ve read so much lies and it’s incredible. Have a good New Year.”
Jeremy was slapped with 200 hours of community service in August – narrowly missing out on prison – after he was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend Stephanie Davis while she was holding their now-11-month-old son Caben.
But he hit the headlines just days after he started the unpaid work in Glasgow, Scotland, as he allegedly refused to scrub off some graffiti as he believed the spray-painted wall was created by famous artist Banksy.

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Waring has hurt her hand and has “a bit of fluid” in her knee after she took a nasty tumble while rehearsing for ‘Dancing on Ice’ before Christmas.
The ‘Hollyoaks’ actress is set to take to the ice in a few days’ time for the skating show’s highly-anticipated reboot series, but she has admitted she’s really nervous about her debut because she’s already suffered some serious injuries on the rink.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: “I’ve hurt my hand but it’s not serious and it’s out of strap now. And my knee’s a bit swollen, I’ve got a bit of fluid in my knee. I’m falling over more as the weeks are going by and I’m not sure if that’s because I’m pushing myself harder and doing more technical things…
“I wanted to do it so bad. I’m not a skater or a dancer so I forget when we do the routines… I’m forgetting about my body and what my face is doing.”
The 39-year-old star has been partnered with professional skater Sylvain Longchambon – who is married to ‘Coronation Street’ actress Samia Ghadie – for the show and has been watching her former co-star Jorgie Porter’s routines, from when she took part in the programme in 2012, to help her learn some of the moves.
Stephanie explained: “I feel like I’m the worst actress in the world as well because you perform the routines but I’m concentrating so much on the technical side of the routine and not falling over that you really have to think now I have to put a performance on top of it as well.”
