Stanley Johnson to make cameo in Made in Chelsea

OHMYGOSSIP — Stanley Johnson is set to make a cameo appearance on ‘Made in Chelsea’.
The 77-year-old politician – the father of Boris Johnson – struck up a close bond with Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo’ while they were taking part in ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ and now bosses of ‘Made in Chelsea’ – the show that made the blonde beauty famous – are keen to give him some screen time alongside his new close friend.
A source told The Sun Online: “We’re just waiting for Toff to come back from Australia then we’ll firm up some dates. We love the idea of Stanley appearing on the show and will be inviting him to make a cameo when the timing is right for him. We’re hopeful it’s going to happen in the New Year when Toff starts filming the new series. Stanley is hilarious and next to Toff, he’ll make a great addition to SW3.”
And it doesn’t look like the 23-year-old beauty will have any issues with having Stanley join her on the streets of Chelsea as she has admitted she has “a thing for middle-aged politicians” and fell in love with the author as soon as she met him in camp.
She said after being crowned Queen of the Jungle last night: “I really do have this thing for middle aged politicians and then I saw Stanley and I was like ‘Oh my God!’
“He’s in the upper bracket of middle age but I just literally fell in love with him the moment we met, it was love at first sight.
“I used to follow him around camp and I used to have to say to myself, ‘Georgia you have to leave the man alone’.
“He’s off to the dunny and I’m like,’Stanley, do you want some help?’ I’ve never met anyone like him before, he’s just an amazing person. He’s like a walking encyclopedia, of course we didn’t have Google in there and I’d ask him about anything and he’d know exactly which date, where it happened – he’s just amazing.”

Jean-Christophe Novelli looking forward to Christmas

OHMYGOSSIP — Jean-Christophe Novelli is hoping for the “best Christmas ever” now his baby son is cancer free.
The 56-year-old chef and his fiancee Michelle Kennedy were stunned last year when little Valentino, now 15 months, was diagnosed with inoperable neuroblastoma when he was just six weeks old, but after going through gruelling chemotherapy, the tot was given the all-clear earlier this year, and now the couple are looking forward to a happy festive period with the youngster and his older brothers Jean, nine, and five-year-old Jacques.
He told HELLO! magazine: “I can’t wait to wake up on Christmas morning with my fiancée Michelle and our three boys around me.
“After the nightmare ordeal we’ve been through, this time of year means so much more than it ever did. Last Christmas was the worst of my life, but this year it’s going to be the best.”
And the chef – who is also father to 31-year-old Christina from his first marriage – is delighted to see how much stronger the youngster has got over the last few months.
He said: “Valentino is growing stronger every day. Remembering how awful it was when he never smiled during his treatment, it’s the best sound in the world to hear him laugh.”
The family faced further trying times in February when Michelle was rushed to hospital with deep vein thrombosis and Jean-Christophe admitted the struggles changed him as a person because he lost his “spark”.
He recalled: “It was a very dark time. I had to stay calm and be there for her and the boys. I realise now that the trauma we went through changed me. I had everything I’d ever wanted – a beautiful ‘wife’, a daughter and three sons – hen faced losing two people I loved most. The agony and uncertainty drained me, I lost my spark.
“Even after they recovered, I kept asking myself, ‘What if the result had been different.”
But with the dark days behind them, Jean-Christophe and Michelle are now looking ahead to their big day, where Valentino will cement his recovery by serving as a pageboy.
Michelle said: “Seeing him as a little pageboy alongside his brothers will be so sweet. With him in our lives we thank our lucky stars every day.”

Adam Thomas to be a dad again

OHMYGOSSIP — Emmerdale’s Adam Thomas is set to become a father again.
The 29-year-old actor – who is known for playing farm boy Adam Barton in the long-running soap – and his wife Caroline Daly have announced they’re expecting their second child together after conceiving on their wedding day in August.
Speaking to OK! magazine, Caroline said: “I’d been feeling really tired and then suddenly it hit me, that was exactly how I felt when I was pregnant with Teddy.
“My mum went out and got a test and I left Adam downstairs while I took it. After I realised it was positive, I gave it to Teddy and told him to give it to Adam. I downloaded a pregnancy app and worked out that we got pregnant on our wedding day.”
The couple are over the moon with their baby news but have admitted they weren’t planning to start trying for another little one until next year.
And, although they don’t mind what sex the baby is, Adam is hoping it’s a little girl because they want their three-year-old son Teddy to have a sister.
Adam explained: “I’ve not cried throughout the pregnancy but if I find out we’re having a girl, I will probably cry. I’m convinced we’re having another boy so it’ll be quite overwhelming if I find out we’re having a daughter. I see the way Ryan [his brother] is with his daughter Scarlett and it’s a totally different relationship to the one I have with Teddy. Being a dad to a girl would be a lovely experience.”
And Adam has already picked out a name if it’s a little boy – but Caroline isn’t sold.
He said: “If it’s a boy, I like the name Paddington. Teddy likes the name too.”
Caroline added: “I’m not sure about that, although we could call him Paddy for short, which goes well with Teddy. I teach a lot of kids so its hard to find a name I don’t already associate with one of our students.”

Keith Chegwin dies at 60

OHMYGOSSIP — Keith Chegwin has died at the age of 60.
The legendary presenter – who is best known for presenting the children’s game show ‘Cheggers Plays Pop’ – passed away surrounded by his family at his home on Monday (11.12017) following a long-term battle with a progressive lung condition.
A statement from his family said: “We are heartbroken to share the news that Keith Chegwin sadly passed away following a long-term battle with a progressive lung condition, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which rapidly worsened towards the end of this year. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Severn Hospice for the kindness, support and care they have shown us all over the last few weeks.
“Keith was a loving husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend. We would respectfully ask to be left to mourn his passing in private.”
‘This Morning’ presenter Phillip Schofield was one of the first to comment on the news as he admitted he was “stunned” and struggling to get his “head around” it.
Taking to his Twitter account, he said: “I’m so stunned to hear that the utterly lovely @keithchegwin has died. Can’t get my head round this. One of my original Saturday morning heroes. Sending all my love to his family (sic),” followed by a crying emoji.
Lorraine Kelly added: “Very sad to hear about the death of Keith Chegwin. A kind, funny, brave man who seized the day.”
‘Coronation Street’ star Samia Longchambon – who worked with Keith on ‘Dancing on Ice’ in 2014 – said: “Devastated to hear that wonderful @keithchegwin has passed away. Was a total pleasure to work with him and get to know him when we did @dancingonice he was a true gent #RIP (sic)”
Paddy McGuinness uploaded a photograph of ‘Cheggers Plays Pop’ and added: “Such sad news. Very much a part of my childhood. RIP Keith Chegwin.”
While Frank Bruno said: “Saddened to hear this,what a great guy! I worked with him a lot over the years a great entertainer,you will be missed RIP Keith Chegwin (sic)”
Keith – nicknamed Cheggers – became a household name in the 70s when he presented ‘Multi-Coloured Swap Shop’ before hosting ‘Saturday Superstore’ in the 80s.
However, despite an impressive start, his career began to sink towards the latter end of the 80s and early 90s when he started to battle with alcoholism.
He then ditched the booze after his appearance on ‘This Morning’ in November 1992 and managed to claw back his career in 1992 when he hosted ‘The Big Breakfast’.
Throughout his time in showbiz, he’s also taken part in reality TV shows such as ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, Celebrity MasterChef’ and ‘Dancing on Ice’.
He’s survived by two children; Rose – whom he has with his ex-wife Maggie Philbin – and Ted, whom he has with his wife Maria.
Maggie has since paid tribute to her former husband, saying: “It is incredibly sad. Keith was a one-off. Full of life, generous and with a focus on things that mattered – his family.
“I saw him two months ago at his sister Janice’s wedding, where he was still attempting to be life and soul of the party despite being on portable oxygen and made sure he knew how much he meant to us all.
“Our daughter Rose flew home from San Francisco to be with him over the last few weeks and I know he was surrounded by so much love from his second wife Maria, their son Ted, his sister Janice, his twin brother Jeff and his father Colin. Keith was loved by everyone who knew and worked with him.”

Kym Marsh didn’t know Catherine Tyldesley quit Coronation Street

OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh had “no idea” Catherine Tyldesley was quitting ‘Coronation Street’.
The 41-year-old actress, who plays Michelle Connor in the soap, was stunned last week when her co-star announced she was leaving her role of Eva Price after seven years on the cobbles because her friend had given no indication she was ready to move on.
She said: “Catherine Tyldesley has quit ‘Coronation Street’ and I was very sad to hear it. I had no idea she was planning to leave.
“Eva Price is such a fun character and Cath has been wonderful part of the show over the last seven years, so there will be a big hole left she goes.”
Kym is bracing herself for big changes on the show as Catherine’s departure comes shortly after Shayne Ward, who plays Aidan Connor, announced he is also exiting Weatherfield.
She added to OK! magazine: “It feels like a lot of people are leaving at the minute, after Shayne Ward also announced that he’s going. But that’s the nature of our job, people come and go all the time.
“I wish Cath all the luck in the world with whatever she’s planning next.”
Meanwhile, the whole cast has had a busy few weeks filming because they are preparing for a long festive break.
She said: “Work has been very busy recently. We’re gearing up for a few weeks off so it’s been all hands on deck to make sure we pull ahead.
“It’s going to be a big Christmas for the Connor family so I’m looking forward to you seeing it.”
But that doesn’t mean they don’t have time for fun too.
She said: “It’s our Christmas party this week – we’ve booked out a venue in Manchester. It’s always a lot of fun when the cast and crew get together.”

Iain Lee has ‘no beef’ with camp mates

OHMYGOSSIP — Iain Lee has “no beef” with any of his camp mates from ‘I”m A Celebrity… Get me Out of Here!’.
Viewers of the creepy-crawly show have jumped to the 44-year-old presenter’s defence on a daily basis over the past two weeks as they believed the likes of Dennis Wise, Amir Khan and Jamie Lomas were “bullying” him but the comedian is adamant he’s friends with all of his now-former co-stars.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’ on Monday (11.12.17), he said: “I’ve made friends with everyone. I have no beef with anyone that’s in there.
“Toff [Georgia Toffolo], Shappi [Khorsandi] and Jennie [McAlpine], they’re the three that I got on with so well. Toff was easily the winner, she totally deserved [to win] and I’m so thrilled for her!”
However, the controversial star – who entered the jungle five days later than the rest of the camp mates – did struggle to make friends initially because the rest of the gang had already built bonds.
He explained: “I think one of the problems I had was coming in five days after everyone else had bonded. There was already a group that had been created and they were all friends and they all knew each other and then suddenly this guy comes in – along with Kez [Kezia Dugdale] – does a trial and then pick them instantly and split the group.
“I found that really stressful, dividing these people that’d built friendships and just wandering in and going, ‘Right I’ll have you, you and you, the rest off you go’ – it was horrendous!”
Iain – who came third in the competition – talked a lot about his mental health struggles in the camp and is hoping his openness will help tear down the stigma glued to depression.
He explained: “Suicide is the biggest killer of men between 17 and 45 I think, something like that. It’s only by talking about it that we can get rid of the stigma and help save people’s lives. I didn’t want to make it all about that. I had a great time, I don’t want people to think I was miserable for all of it. The last week in particular was a gas! It was so much fun!”
He added: “I was completely surprised to be in the final three.
“Every time Ant and Dec came into the camp and said Iain it’s not you I still can’t quite believe I came in the final three – it was a thrill.”

Alan Carr hopes Bruce Forsyth would be proud

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Carr hopes his ‘The Price is Right’ remake would have made Sir Bruce Forsyth “proud”.
The 41-year-old presenter is fronting a one-off special of the classic game show – which originally broadcast in the UK in 1984 – on Channel 4 on December 30, and he wishes the programme’s former host, who died in August, was still around to see it.
He said: “I loved Sir Bruce. I definitely think Brucie was the master of it all – his way with people, he’d get people to be willing to have the mick taken out of them.
“He got the tone just right.
“He died just after I made the show. I’d have liked him to have seen it, I hope I did him proud.”
Alan will also broadcast a Christmas Day (25.12.17) edition of ‘Chatty Man’ and his ‘New Year Specstacular’ on New Year’s Eve (31.12.17), and while viewers enjoy seeing his guests tuck into his well-stocked drinks cabinet, the presenter admits he feels “survivor’s guilt” at being the only sober person at the end of the night.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I get a bit of survivor’s guilt when I do it, because you’re basically stepping over drunk celebrities by the end.”
Bruce hosted ‘The Price is Right’ – which sees contestants try to win cash and prizes by guessing the prices of household items in a variety of different games – from 1995 to 2001, but he wasn’t the only host.
Leslie Crowther was the original British host, but news presenter Bob Warman took over in 1989 when the show moved from ITV to Sky 1.
In 1995, when the programme moved back to ITV, Bruce held the reins.
Joe Pasquale took the helm when ITV revived the contest in 2006, but it was cancelled after just a year because of disappointing viewing figures.
The programme is the world’s longest-running game show, as it first aired in the US in 1956, with the UK edition starting in 1984.
If Alan’s one-off special is a hit with viewers, it could be set for a full series.

Gary Lucy praises Coronation Street male rape storyline

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Lucy has praised ‘Coronation Street’ for tackling male rape.
The 36-year-old actor was at the forefront of a groundbreaking plot 17 years ago when his ‘Hollyoaks’ character Luke Morgan was sexually assaulted by Mark Gibbs, and he’s happy the rival soap is now planning to explore the taboo subject in a hard-hitting storyline involving David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd).
He says: “It’s great that it has been covered on another show that will handle it responsibly. And it’s good it’s a key character that we care about, so we’ll be devastated. I think Jack P Shepherd will play it brilliantly.”
Following his own storyline, which saw Luke plunge into depression, Gary was inundated with messages of support and thank you letters from other victims, and he thinks Jack and the ‘Corrie’ team – who, like ‘Hollyoaks’, are working with charity Survivors on the plot – will also help others.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “When we did it, the support systems weren’t as they are now.
“It was more taboo but we did it. And it was a massive part of my life. People would always talk to me about it and I’m really proud of it.
“Now with ‘Corrie’, it’s fantastic that a different set of audience members will see it and it will help people all over again.”
Gary recently returned to ‘Hollyoaks’, with Luke now a troubled alcoholic who has been struggling to deal with his ordeal – and his feelings have worsened since he recently caught a glimpse of his rapist leading a normal life.
And the actor is pleased he and Colin Parry, who played Gibbs, were offered a chance to return to the soap, as he’s always hoped to revisit the storyline later in life.
Gary – whose character is set for a showdown with Gibbs in upcoming scenes – said: “I’ve always been hoping I could revisit it with a wiser head on my shoulders.
“It’s all about what happens when he sees his attacker again. To be able to tie that up is brilliant – and it hasn’t been done before.”

Helen George’s wife didn’t know who she was

OHMYGOSSIP — Helen George’s midwife didn’t know who she was when she helped deliver her daughter.
The 33-year-old actress may have made a name for herself playing Trixie Franklin in the medical drama ‘Call the Midwife’ but she wasn’t in for any special treatment when she went into labour with her little girl Wren in September as her medical team didn’t recognise her.
Her partner Jack Ashton, who plays vicar Tom Hereward, said: “We had a midwife and she was wonderful. They all were. We have nothing but praise for the NHS.
“But they didn’t know who we were until after. They said: ‘We didn’t know you were famous.’ But that was great. We were treated just like everybody else.”
The blonde star was forced to deliver Wren slightly earlier than expected due to health complications and the couple struggled to adapt to the sleepless nights at first.
Jack explained: “When Wren was so young, having no sleep changed my acting.
“It’s a lot easier to act less emotion when you haven’t slept for 48 hours. And the only tip about babies I learned by being on the show was don’t drop them!”
Helen has admitted her pregnancy was hard to cover up on screen and she had to shoot a lot of her scenes sitting down or with huge capes draped over her burgeoning baby bump.
She told The Sun newspaper: “It was difficult because it wasn’t a correct storyline for the character, it wasn’t right for Trixie to be pregnant.
“So we did our best to cover it up. You just see me walk across the screen with loads of cushions or I’m sat down a lot, or I’m wearing lots of capes. I’ve always found those birth scenes emotional. But I definitely felt more emotional about it this time.”
Helen is now looking forward to celebrating the festive season with her little family.
She added: “I’m just recovering from the birth of my child. I will be running soon and I will put the chocolate down soon.”

Amber Davies is back with ex-boyfriend

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Davies has reportedly got back together with her ex-boyfriend.
The ‘Love Island’ star has only just split from Kem Cetinay – who she got together with inside the famous villa over the summer – but she’s only spent a week living the single life as she’s fallen back in the arms of her former flame Sonny Hall.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Whether Sonny is just a rebound for Amber is unclear at the moment but the two couldn’t keep their hands off each other at Sugar Hut nightclub in Essex on Saturday.
“Amber didn’t seem to mind who knew as she was posting videos on Instagram of her cuddling up to his little white puppy while still at his home on Sunday morning.
“That can’t have been easy for Kem to see.”
But while the 21-year-old beauty is pouring her attention into her love life in the run up to Christmas, Kem, 20, has been focusing on his upcoming gig on ‘Dancing on Ice’.
It was believed the hunk’s gruelling training schedule had led to a series of blazing rows between him and Amber which, subsequently, contributed to the end of their romance.
Alex Bowen – who won ‘Love Island’ in 2016 – said: “I think their split is shocking because they won the show and everyone thought they were the best couple. But you don’t know what you’ve got to handle on the outside. You don’t know how if you’ll be living on different sides of the country, you don’t know how much work you’ll be getting. The fact Kem got ‘Dancing On Ice’ – that will be taking up a lot of his time.”
The pair announced their split last week and are determined to remain friends.
They said in a statement: “With sadness, we’ve decided to separate.
“We fell in love in the villa and want to thank all the fans of the show for supporting us.
“Our schedules made it difficult. We’ll remain good friends.”

Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo to bag TV presenting gig

OHMYGOSSIP — Piers Morgan has told Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo that he can help her land a presenting gig on breakfast television.
The ‘Made in Chelsea’ star would like to expand her career on screen now that she’s won over the nation to be crowned Queen of the Jungle on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’, and it looks like her dreams will come true sooner than she thinks as the ‘Good Morning Britain’ host has said he can “certainly make that happen.”
Speaking on the early-morning show, Piers, 52, told her: “We know you want to do breakfast TV and I can certainly make that happen but is there anything else you’d like to do? What’s next for Toff?”
However, the 23-year-old blonde beauty is hoping to get stuck in to environmental conservation after speaking with politician Stanley Johnson – the father of Boris Johnson – while taking part on the creepy-crawly show.
She explained: “Yeah it’s really interesting because you have so much time to think without distractions and having Stanley in there has really made me think about things.
“We were talking about causes that I’ve never ever thought about – things like environmental conservation. I really am letting everything sink in but I really hope I can use this to help and do good.
“There are so many worthy causes that I’d love to get involved in. I’ve just got to do a little bit of research but I have thought about it a lot.”
And it’s not just a television gig Piers is keen to set Toff up with, as he’s also desperate to match make her with his eldest son Spencer – especially now that she’s “coming into a lot of money.”
He joked: “Toff and my oldest son, who is a good mate of hers… Spencer is going to be back, he’s going to be ready [for when she gets back from Australia].
“He’s handome , he’s intelligent, he’s got a good job, he’s well bred, good genes… Toff’s mother was up for this – we need to ask Toff.
“Now she’s coming into a lot of money, I have a lot of interest in getting them together.”

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace ‘punched repeatedly’ in ‘horrific’ attack

OHMYGOSSIP — Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace is appealing for witnesses after she was “punched repeatedly” by a man in the back of a car in an “horrific” attack.
The former ‘Big Brother’ star was left in “a lot of pain” after she was “battered” in a car on Friday night (08.12.17) following an evening out with her pals when a friend of a friend agreed to give her a lift back to north London, even though she claims he “didn’t really want to.”
She told The Sun Online: “I got into the back of this car that only had two doors – so I was stuck behind the guy that started hitting me.
“He moved his chair back and told me to move. So I moved, then he said, ‘Move you f***ing s**g’, so I told him to ‘f**k off’, then he turned around, undid his seatbelt and started battering me. It was horrific.
“My head is in a lot of pain, I have bumps in my hair, but I’m so lucky that I don’t have a mark on my face, he was punching me repeatedly.”
The 38-year-old star claims one of the alleged attacker’s pals started encouraging him to strike her, and she later thought the police were coming to save her when she heard sirens but they didn’t stop.
She said: “There were four men in the car, I was in the back, when the attack happened. There was only one guy trying to help me, one of the other guys was saying, ‘Hit her, go on, hit her, let him hit her’, which made it even more scary.
“So the driver pulled over and they all got out the car, they were shouting at me to get out the car, but I couldn’t, I was crying, I was saying, I need my phone.
“I think I was scared to get out the car. Then I heard police cars coming and I thought, ‘Thank god.’ I thought they were going to stop for me, but they didn’t.”
Aisleyne was too terrified to report the incident to the police over the weekend, but plans to do so today (11.12.17) following the “disgusting” incident.
She added: “On Saturday I was too scared and shaken up to do anything, but tomorrow I’m going to go to the police.
“I don’t want a man to think he can beat a woman and just get away with it, it’s not right, it’s disgusting, it’s wrong.”

Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo offered TV shows

OHMYGOSSIP — Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo is being offered television shows left right and centre after her ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ win.
The ‘Made In Chelsea’ star triumphed on the ITV jungle show on Sunday night (10.12.17), beating Jamie Lomas and Iain Lee to be crowned Queen of the Jungle, and now Channel 4, BBC and ITV are vying to sign her up for her own show.
A source said: “All three major networks are fighting for her. ITV see massive potential, while Channel 4 are keen to keep her as they feel ownership after giving her a break on ‘Made In Chelsea’. She has also been offered a book deal and clothing line.”
Toff has also been inundated with a series offers as she moaned about not having plans for New Year’s Eve.
The insider added to The Sun newspaper: “Some want to fly her to Barbados, New York and Dubai. Others offered her dinner or to take her down their local so she doesn’t see in 2018 alone.”
Toff surprised herself when she won the show as she admitted she “didn’t even think anyone would like her”.
She told hosts Ant and Dec: “I don’t know what to say. I didn’t think anyone would like me, let alone pick me to win.
“Sorry, I’m really taken aback. It’s really overwhelming. Thank you so much. Thank you so much to everyone who voted. Sorry, I don’t know what to say, I’m really shocked.”
Toff was handed her winning flower crown over to her from last year’s winner Scarlett Moffatt.
She told her: “I feel like crying for you. It’s girls like you that make me feel so proud to be a young woman. You did it for all of us girls in there, proper girl power.”
Meanwhile, Jamie – who finished as runner up – also heaped praise on the blonde star for always giving everything a go.
He said: “She’s a great champion, she deserved it.
“She’s got stuck in, she’s been brilliant, funny, entertaining, so well done Toff. You deserve it.”

Rylan Clark-Neal is being ‘bullied’ to do Strictly Come Dancing

OHMYGOSSIP — Rylan Clark-Neal is being “bullied” into taking part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The ‘This Morning’ star is keen to take part in the Latin and ballroom competition but is worried his other work means he won’t have the time.
He said: “I’m being bullied to do ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. I’d love to do it but it’s a very big time commitment.”
The 29-year-old presenter – who shot to fame on ‘The X Factor’ in 2012 – believes part of the key to his successful TV career is not saying yes to everything he’s approached to be a part of.
He said: “I’m in a very lucky position and this could all end in the morning. Five years in telly is like 50.
“It’s more what you say no to rather than what you say yes to.
“If I’d said yes to everything then I don’t think I’d be doing what I’m doing now.”
And Rylan feels “lucky” to have carved out a long career in the wake of the talent show and thinks it helps that he’s a nice person.
He said: “I’m lucky and I wasn’t an a**ehole. I don’t care if you’re a runner or you own the f***ing channel, I will treat you the same.
“Some people aren’t like that and I think, I don’t know how the f**k you got to where you are because you’re not even that talented. If someone crosses me then I’ll rip them to pieces though.”
Though the ‘Big Brother’s Bit on the Side’ host – who is married to Dan Clark-Neal – adores his job, it can be frustrating that he’s always recognised wherever he goes.
He told OK! magazine: “The worst thing [about being famous] is being 6ft 4in with a fake set of teeth so I just cannot hide in public anywhere. If I had a pound for every selfie I’ve done I would be richer than Bill Gates and I would retire.”

Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo crowned Queen of The Jungle

OHMYGOSSIP — Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo has won ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’.
The ‘Made In Chelsea’ star triumphed on the ITV show after beating actor Jamie Lomas to be crowned Queen of the Jungle.
Asked how she was feeling after finding out she had won, Toff could barely utter a word as she was so shocked by the result.
She told hosts Ant and Dec: “I don’t know what to say. I didn’t think anyone would like me, let alone pick me to win.
“Sorry, I’m really taken aback. It’s really overwhelming. Thank you so much. Thank you so much to everyone who voted. Sorry, I don’t know what to say, I’m really shocked.”
It was then the turn of her former campmates – Jennie McAlpine and Stanley Johnson – to offer their congratulations to the new Queen of the Jungle.
Jennie said: “Such a well deserved winner. I’ve never met anyone like you, you’re amazing.”
Whilst Stanley added: “I knew she was going to make it, I said right from the start, Toff’s the one.”
Georgia’s flower crown was handed over to her by last year’s winner Scarlett Moffatt, who was nearly in tears for the reality star.
She told her: “I feel like crying for you. It’s girls like you that make me feel so proud to be a young woman. You did it for all of us girls in there, proper girl power.”
Meanwhile, Jamie – who finished as runner up – also heaped praise on the blonde star for always giving everything a go.
He said: “She’s a great champion, she deserved it.
“She’s got stuck in, she’s been brilliant, funny, entertaining, so well done Toff. You deserve it.”

Mollie King leaves Strictly Come Dancing

OHMYGOSSIP — Mollie King has left ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, just one week before the final.
The Saturdays singer and her professional partner AJ Pritchard were booted out of the competition, leaving Gemma Atkinson – who Mollie faced in the dance off, – Alexandra Burke, Debbie McGee and Joe McFadden to fight it out to win this year’s Glitterball trophy.
Speaking after her exit, Mollie said: “Firstly congratulations to Gemma and Aljaž because they danced their socks off and totally deserved to be there and congratulations to all the finalists, they’re so incredible and good luck, I can’t wait to watch you all, so go out there and get it!
“I have so many thank you’s. Thank you to everyone who has voted us through to the semi-finals, it’s so far beyond what we ever thought that would happen; I’m so so grateful for that. Thank you to all the professionals, you have been so much fun and so encouraging.
“Thank you to the judges, you have just been unbelievable and I will forever remember everything that you said and I will take it on board when I’m dancing at home or wherever I’m dancing. And to Tess, Claudia and Zoe, you have been amazing, you have been so so just lovely and above all, AJ, you have been just incredible and you have been my hero for the last couple of months so thank you so much. I couldn’t have done any of it without you.”
AJ was full of praise for Mollie and thanked her for working so hard all the time.
He added: “I want to say thank you so much for being in training and literally spending all the time working so hard and always willing to try everything and performing every single night as if it’s your last.”
All four of the judges – Craig Revel Horwood, Darcey Bussell, Bruno Tonioli and Shirley Ballas – chose to save Gemma and her partner Aljaž Škorjanec.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ final kicks off next Saturday (16.12.17), where one of the remaining four couples will lift the famous Glitterball trophy.
