OHMYGOSSIP — Fern Britton’s ‘My Cornwall’ show has reportedly been dropped after two series.
The ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ contestant, 66, has said the region helped her heal after her divorce from TV chef Phil Vickery and the deaths of her parents, and her Channel 5 show on her new life in the country started in 2022.
A source told The Sun about the show apparently being axed: “(It) seemed to have the potential to become a regular TV event (but) this year the decision was made, to Fern’s disappointment, to not commission a third series.”
Fern moved to Cornwall from London in 2020 – but her show angered some locals who objected to the presenter “presuming it was her Cornwall”.
The former This Morning host has joined other celebrities including Levi Roots and Sharon Osbourne on ITV’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and has threatened to leave if her ex-colleague Phillip Schofield shows up.
She sook solace in Cornwall after a rollercoaster love life, which included a divorce triggered by a high Mensa test score to a ban on future husbands.
Fern first met her husband, TV executive Clive Jones, while he was still married, and the pair had an affair.
After a year, the host decided to end things but he showed up at her door two days later, having left his wife for her.
They married in 1988 and had three children together, twins Jack and Harry and daughter Grace.
But their marriage collapsed shortly after Grace was born and they split in 1998.
More than 20 years later, Fern revealed their divorce was caused by her secret IQ test, and claimed Clive was “furious” after she took and passed a Mensa exam, causing a huge rift between them.
Fern said on the ‘Walking The Dog with Emily Dean’ podcast: “He had this degree and I don’t. I secretly went off and did the Mensa.
“I lied, I said I was going somewhere else, and it took a day to do this test. I passed – and quite well too.
“Then he was furious so he did it because he’s got a huge brain. But he’s not a problem solver and he didn’t get it. So an immense rift opened.”
Fern went on to marry TV chef Phil Vickery, 62, in 2000 but they divorced 20 years later.

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Goodwins says playing Ray Winstone’s son in ‘The Gentlemen’ has made his dad jealous.
The former reality TV star and model plays Jack Glass, the boxer son of Ray’s gangland boss character Bobby Glass, in Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series spin-off of his movie of the same name.
Harry told The Sun: “I was worried that Ray would take one look at me and be like, ‘No, I can’t work with this guy, he’s terrible,’ but I was immediately made to feel at ease like I was with my own family.
“It was like talking to my dad at times – and he did tell me he got jealous about Ray.”
Guy’s eight-part show also stars former ‘Skins’ actress Kaya Scodelario, 31, as drug dealer Susie.
Harry added about being starstruck by his castmates: “It was crazy walking on set on the first day and seeing Ray.
“Vinnie Jones was there – and Kaya, who I’d watched in ‘Skins’ from the age of 12, was now my big sister.”
Along with his acting work, Harry is a successful international fashion model, known for his work with brands including Prada and publications such as GQ.
Guy’s Netflix version of his 2019 film ‘The Gentlemen’ follows Eddie Horniman (played by Theo James), who has inherited his English aristocrat father’s massive estate and becomes the new Duke of Halstead – only to discover it’s sitting on top of the biggest marijuana farm in Europe, owned by the legendary Mickey Pearson.
Along with Ray, Vinnie and Kaya, the cast includes Joely Richardson, Daniel Ings, Giancarlo Esposito, Peter Serafinowicz and Max Beesley.
Guy, 55, directs the first two episodes and executive produces alongside Matthew Read, Marn Davies and Ivan Atkinson – and along with Marc Helwig for Miramax TV and Will Gould and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeremy Clarkson has hit out at critics who have called for him to use shipping containers to grow his farm produce.
The 63-year-old ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ presenter said he would never agree to their demand for him to use the crates instead of building a barn – the cost of which they say he should donate to the local community.
He said in his column for The Sunday Times: “I want to build a small stone barn so that I can grow mushrooms. But everyone is frowning and saying I should give the money this would cost to hard-working families in the community, and use a shipping container instead. But I won’t.
“Mainly because I’m running out of the damn things. We have one at the farm shop which is used for storage and one lying round in a field that’s used to house chemicals and two more which are welded together to create a farm kitchen. Honestly, my yard looks like the foyer at Maersk’s world headquarters.
“And I’m not alone. Every time you are outside a city centre railway station or on a Cornish coastal path, and you fancy a cup full of piping hot Israeli free peace coffee, and a vegan whelk, the man with the tattoo and the George Galloway T-shirt who serves it to you will be standing in a shipping container that he’s painted in all the colours of the rainbow.”
Former ‘Top Gear’ host Jeremy is also at war with his local council after he revealed his plans to build a restaurant on his ‘Diddly Squat’ farm in the Cotswolds, but admitted the situation was somewhat manufactured after realising it would make good television.
He said in his column for The Sun: “After the first series of ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ aired, I went for lunch with a farmer friend who said, ‘If you want a storyline for the next series, try getting planning permission for something.’
“I was a bit puzzled and asked what he meant by ‘something’.
 ‘Anything,’ he replied. ‘It doesn’t matter. Because I guarantee you’ll be turned down.’
“Oh, how right he was. I came home and asked for planning permission to turn a building that was already there into a restaurant.
“A restaurant that would serve the beef, lamb, beer and potatoes that we grow on the farm. And it was like I’d asked for permission to build Studio 54.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rylan Clark has revealed he used to “lactate” as a party trick.
The 35-year-old broadcaster, famed for his tearful breakdown on ‘The X Factor’ in 2012 when he was told he was being put through to its live shows, admitted he discovered he could squeeze “stuff” from his body after fiddling with his nipple.
He was quoted in the Daily Star newspaper saying: “My trick used to be that I could lactate. I used to squeeze my nipple and stuff came out.”
Rylan added: “I can’t tell you my other party trick. It involves a Peroni bottle the other way round.”
The TV and radio host previously revealed one of his ‘X Factor’ outfits ended up ripping off his nipples.
He performed a rendition of Spandau Ballet’s ‘Gold’ on the show while wearing a metal chainmail outfit, which the singer admitted left him with an agonising pair of wounds.
He said on ‘This Morning’: “The thing is that was a gold chainmail vest. Everyone used to take the mick about my singing, but what they didn’t realise was that I was in pain.
“I lost my nipples that night. It ripped off both my nipples.
“It did though, and I came off stage and it was wet and I thought it was just sweat because of the adrenaline of the live show… but when I looked down it was red.
“There’s a lot of children watching and I don’t want to scare them.”
Rylan’s recent career moves have seen him hosting ‘Hot Mess Summer’ – which sees eight party-loving singletons travel to Zante, Greece, to serve drinks and scrub toilets for six weeks.
Rylan told The Sun about the Prime Video show: “My job isn’t to discipline, my job is to encourage them and make sure they’re enjoying it.
“But my biggest vice is being too nice to people. I get on with everyone, and it’s only if you (annoy me) that we’re done, because I’ve got a sting in my tail.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Fern Britton, Lauren Simon and Louis Walsh will all face the public vote on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 66-year-old presenter, Lauren and Louis are all at risk of eviction from the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house, after they received the most nominations from the other housemates.
Lauren received nominations from Bradley, Colson, David, Fern, Levi, Marisha, Nikita and Zeze, while Louis received nominations from Bradley, Colson, Marisha and Zeze.
Sharon Osbourne – who has served as the show’s Celebrity Lodger – has been afforded the chance to save one of the nominated housemates from eviction.
And the outspoken star ultimately opted to save Zeze from eviction, meaning that Fern is now at risk of an early exit from the series.
Last week, Gary Goldsmith became the first celebrity to leave the reality TV series.
The 59-year-old businessman – who is the uncle of the Princess of Wales – subsequently told ‘Big Brother: Late and Live’: “I’ve had the best time. I went in with one agenda and I’ve achieved it in five days.
“I don’t consider myself to be a celebrity – I just happen to be related to someone who is a big celebrity.”
Gary insisted that he’s not interested in fame. However, the businessman is keen to change the public’s perception of him.
He explained: “I want to change what people think of my personality.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jamie Lomas has quit ‘Hollyoaks’.
The 48-year-old actor – who played Warren Fox on the long-running soap – has decided to walk away from the show at the end of his current contract.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Jamie has been at the centre of some of the soap’s biggest storylines and has been back in ‘Hollyoaks’ now for nearly eight years, which is a long time.
“It’s been a long stint which he has loved but with all the changes going on he felt the time was right to move on.”
In February, Channel 4 announced plans to cut ‘Hollyoaks’ from five episodes a week to just three, and Jamie has decided that now is the ideal time for him to walk away from the programme.
The insider added: “He told bosses last week and they are already working on his exit storyline.
“The door will be left open and it is hoped he’ll be back again as Warren Fox on day.”
Meanwhile, Ian Katz, the chief content officer at Channel 4, recently claimed that the show’s revamp will ensure that ‘Hollyoaks’ remains “compulsive viewing for a new generation of fans as viewing habits change”.
He said: “The show has always been at the forefront of innovation in all of its forms, including increasing and decreasing episode numbers in response to viewing habits. These changes are a decisive step forward, designed to reflect how audiences are watching.
“A tighter schedule promises a new era of more scale and impact. We are of course mindful of the impacts on the production team and will work closely with (production company) Lime Pictures to minimise these where possible.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Casualty’ legend Derek Thompson says bidding farewell to the show after 38 years playing nurse Charlie Fairhead was a “big emotional” moment.
The 75-year-old actor quit the BBC hospital drama in 2023 and viewers are currently awaiting the news of whether or not his alter ego will survive after he was stabbed by a patient.
Derek told OK! magazine of his exit: “I don’t want to spoil it by saying whether or not he survives, but everything felt heightened when I filmed my last scenes.
“It felt like one of those big emotional moments in your life, like the birth of a child or your wedding.”
Derek – who met his real-life second wife, Dee Sadler, on the show – never imagined becoming the last remaining original member of the cast when he first landed the role.
He said: “No, I never envisaged I’d stay 38 years.
“I originally signed up for three years, but it soon became apparent what a great character he was to play. Medicine and television have both changed a lot since I started. But the basics are still there – the reception area and desk where people roll up is still performing the same function it did on my first day.”
Despite being considered a TV legend, Derek admitted he feels like “a long-distance runner”.
He laughed: “No, I don’t see myself as a legend.
“That’s someone who does something extraordinarily consistently. I see myself as a long-distance runner – one that never gives up and just keeps on going…”
He might not be doing ‘Casualty’ anymore, but Derek has no plans to retire from acting anytime soon, with his new roles including playing police officer Robin Graham in the new series of BBC One’s crime drama ‘Blue Lights’.
Asked if he’ll ever stop working, he said: “Definitely not!
“No way am I retiring.
“I’m busier than ever and I’m working on some musical projects at the moment. In Blue Lights , I play a retired police officer, Robin Graham, whose past – and conscience – catch up with him when a trainee solicitor decides to investigate a decade-old case.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sharon Osbourne saved Zeze Millz on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ because she reminds her of “somebody she loves”.
The outspoken star was given the power to view her housemates submitting their nominations for the next eviction, and then choose to save one of the three candidates.
With Lauren Simon, Louis Walsh and Zeze all up for eviction, Sharon chose to save the latter.
She explained: “I think Zeze is fiery but quite vulnerable – I think a lot of it is for show. She reminds me of somebody I love.”
The 71-year-old star then had to replace Zeze with another housemate, and she settled on Fern Britton.
She said: “I think the older ones stick out like a sore thumb. I’m not ageist at all, but I’m saying for the house, people have gone off in groups.
“Fern is a beautiful and gracious lady, and I’m happy that I got to meet her.”
Now, it is down to the public with viewers getting to vote to send either Lauren, Louis or Fern home.
Last week, Gary Goldsmith became the first celebrity to leave the reality TV series.
The 59-year-old businessman – who is the uncle of Catherine, Princess of Wales – subsequently told ‘Big Brother: Late and Live’ that he signed up to the show “with one agenda”, which he “achieved”.
He said: “I’ve had the best time. I went in with one agenda and I’ve achieved it in five days.
“I don’t consider myself to be a celebrity – I just happen to be related to someone who is a big celebrity.”
Gary insisted that he’s not interested in fame. However, the businessman was keen to change the public’s perception of him.

OHMYGOSSIP — Greg Rutherford is still feeling “very sore and very tired” as he continues his recovery from injury.
The former Olympian withdrew from the ‘Dancing On Ice’ final after he suffered an injury in rehearsals, and Greg has now taken to social media to update fans about his recovery.
In an Instagram post on Monday (11.03.24), Greg said: “Seen a specialist today, I’ve got some scans tomorrow, and then I will know more about what’s going on, and what’s happening.
“I’m very sore and very tired so I’m going to get an early night tonight. But again I cannot believe the amount of lovely messages I’ve had so thanks very much. I’ll update everybody once I know what the next step is. This is grim.”
Greg, 37, also shared a video of himself and Vanessa James, his professional partner, performing the bolero.
The former athlete – who won the long jump gold medal at London 2012 – wrote: “Something that I really wish I could have performed… #Bolero Im almost 36 hours since the injury and watching the videos of what could have been. It’s bloody hard to take at this point as I know we could have shown something exciting and new with our final performances.
“Of course the Bolero isn’t a given and I’ll post our showcase at some point too… I haven’t shown the end as I’m determined to actually perform it with Vanessa one day for everyone to see.
“I’m really proud of what we achieved on the show. This take was from Saturday morning and we were marking for the double twist… the full program was truly beautiful. I’m a bit heart broken at the moment. (sic)”
