OHMYGOSSIP — Ferne McCann was working the day she gave birth to her little girl Sunday.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star has been urged to slow down by her friends and family as they’re concerned she’s been taking on too much recently and, although they know she’s only doing it because she’s the sole provider for her two-week-old daughter now that her dad is behind bars, they’re worried about her stress levels.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “We’re also worried that Ferne has been pushing herself too hard, she was even working the day she gave birth.
“In her head she knows she’s the sole provider for Sunday and she’s determined to make their life as secure as possible.
“But everyone around her is telling her to slow down and take time for herself too.”
Ferne was struck a devastating blow last week when she found out her ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins – the father of her little girl – was convicted of five counts of grievous bodily harm with intent and nine counts of actual bodily harm at Wood Green Crown Court after 14 people were badly burnt when he sprayed the corrosive substance at a crowd on the dance floor in the nightclub Mangle E8 in Dalston on April 17.
But, although she’s now got to raise her little one as a single mother following Arthur’s guilty verdict, she’s determined to give Sunday the best possible life.
A representative for the 27-year-old beauty said recently: “Ferne’s thoughts are of course with the innocent people caught up in the events at Mangle last April. No one should ever be faced with violence on a night out.
“Having given birth days ago, Ferne is focusing on being the best mother she can be. She long ago accepted that she would be doing this alone and is determined to provide the best possible future for her daughter.”
Arthur is currently waiting to find out his punishment but he’s been told he faces a “substantial” jail sentence for carrying out one of Britain’s worst acid attacks over the Easter weekend earlier this year. Ferne split with Arthur as soon as he was arrested.

OHMYGOSSIP — Prue Leith couldn’t sleep for days after she accidentally let slip who had won the ‘Great British Bake Off’.
The 77-year-old show judge hit the headlines last month when she announced on Twitter that Sophie Faldo had become the new champion of the show – 12 hours before the episode had aired on television screens – because she was on holiday in Bhutan and had got confused over the time zone.
But, although most people found it funny, she was mortified over her social media blunder and felt like she had swiped the limelight away from Sophie because everyone was obsessed with her error.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: “Channel 4 were great. Everyone was – Love Productions, the production company and Paul – they all emailed me and said: ‘Basically it is the sort of thing I could have done, don’t worry about it too much.’ Everybody was wonderful but it was days before I could sleep properly. I still feel absolutely mortified by it. It was awful.”
Prue realised her error almost instantly but was in such a fluster that she couldn’t work her phone but, luckily, her secretary had seen her blunder and managed to delete the tweet 89 seconds later.
She explained: “I congratulated Sophie and then I thought: ‘Why is no one else congratulating her? As I thought that, Emma Freud tweeted me saying; ‘Eek. It’s tonight. Delete, delete.’ And then I was in such a panic I couldn’t work my phone. I rang my secretary and she said: ‘Don’t worry, I have done it.’ … 89 seconds afterwards but of course it was too late. There was a huge amount of publicity but it was the wrong publicity. It was about my tweet. It should have been about who was the winner.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘Coronation Street’ cast are reportedly worried about their jobs after executive producer Kieran Roberts announced he was leaving the soap.
The show boss – who has worked on the programme for 16 years – revealed he was quitting his position last month in order to try his hand at other things but, although the cast are happy for him, they’re concerned that his replacement will wreak havoc for them if they decide to axe some people.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “There’s both excitement and anxiety among the top cast. There are some high-earning stars on ‘Coronation Street’ and a new exec producer could mean wholesale changes. Some of them could see their days on the cobbles numbered. Hopefully someone with a similar vision to Kieran, who has overseen some of the biggest storylines the soap has had, will come in and there won’t be too much upheaval.”
Kieran had been toying with the idea of walking away from the show since the beginning of the year, but decided to extend his stay because he didn’t want to leave the cast and crew in the lurch when producers decided to extend the schedule to six episodes a week at end of September.
He said: “This has been a huge and very difficult decision and it’s one I have been thinking about for more than a year. When the move to six episodes was announced, I knew I should stay to help make that happen.
“I’ve been incredibly lucky to have worked on so many wonderful programmes and with so many brilliant colleagues during my time at ITV.
“‘Coronation Street’ is a special place and it’s been a huge privilege working on such an amazing programme with the greatest team in television.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ camp mates will get “bitten to shreds” over the next few days as mosquitoes are set to invade the jungle following a bout of wet weather.
The celebrities – including Jamie Lomas, Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo, Jennie McAlpine and Rebekah Vardy – have only just entered Croc Creek but it looks like some of them will be begging to return to normality by the end of the week as little blood-sucking insects are set to set up temporary home in their camp due to the humid temperature in Queensland.
Executive producer Oliver Nash told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Celebs will get bitten to shreds as it’s so humid. It’s going to drive them nuts.”
But it’s not just mosquitoes that will wreak havoc for the stars as medic Bob McCarron is certain that he’ll have to remove at least three ticks from their flesh at some point.
Bob explained: “A minimum of three of them will have ticks. It will happen.
“They are my biggest problem. They are OK if you get them off within 12 hours but, any long, you get general malaise and headaches.”
There are also some deadly creature lurking in the camp shower waiting to strike when the celebs strip off and take a quick dip when the temperatures start to climb.
Bob said: “It [the snake] is as long as my finger and is a dirty brown colour. They’ve enough poison to kill 12 people. They couple wipe the camp out, in theory.”
And there’s no way the stars can avoid showering as Bob told them before they entered the famous camp that there’s a high chance they will get a fungal infection if they don’t clean their bits – especially under their boobs – properly.
He told The Sun newspaper: “The problem with large breast implants it that because of the humidity in the jungle, fungus grows very quickly on your skin. And with big breast implants, if they are rubbing on their chest and the women don’t clean under their breasts they can get a fungal disease. They do need to use the jungle shower a lot.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The cameramen who shot the footage for ‘Blue Planet II’ had to pee on themselves after they were stung by a deadly Portuguese man o’ war while filming for the current series.
The sea monster – also known as the floating terror – left the crew in absolute agony after its 100ft-long tentacles, which can be deadly to humans, struck them on their hands as they obtained close-up footage of the jellyfish-like creature for the marine show.
Camera assistant Andrea Casini told The Sun newspaper: “Once you get stung, you start to feel your heart beating really fast, you’ve got to get out of the water and head eight miles back to shore. The tentacles stick to your skin, so you have to scrape them off, and remove the stinging cells carefully and all the time they are releasing more venom. The pain can last for hours and you would do anything to make that pain go away. After we were stung, we tried everything – hot and cold water, even urinating on the wound, which is thought to be a traditional treatment – but it didn’t work.”
However, once they were back to shore, they managed to get their hands on Hydrocortisone cream and that relieved the skin irritation almost instantly.
Andrea added: “It was worth the pain to get such unique footage.”
Despite their war wounds, the crew managed to get incredible footage of the Portuguese man o’ war paralysing a fish, which took three months to capture off the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, for the show narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
Bosses at the BBC announced they were planning to do a second instalment of ‘Blue Planet’ after ‘Planet Earth II’ went down such a storm with viewers late last year.
The series, which was filmed over four years using new camera technology and techniques, was last on screens six years ago.
The new-and-improved technology used during filming allowed the camera crew to capture predatory fish and dolphins front on as well as get up close to whale sharks.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jack Maynard has been forced to apologise for previously using “inflammatory and insulting language”.
The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ star appeared in the show’s latest series launch last night (19.11.17), but away from Australia it was revealed he had posted a number of offensive tweets dating back up to six years ago.
Some of the tweets written on the official account of 22-year-old YouTube sensation – who has 642,000 Twitter followers – featured the N-word, and one also mocked someone’s physical appearance.
One tweet, from June 2011, read: “At alices with my n****s! (sic)”
In another message in December 2012, Jack responded to two people, calling them “retarded f****t (sic)”.
A few months later, he tweeted someone saying: “”hahaha shutup you f****t… By the way who hit you with a shovel? (sic)”
A spokeswoman for the vlogger – who has more than 1.2 million subscribers on his YouTube page – told The Sun newspaper: “Jack is ashamed of these tweets, many were deleted a long time ago.
“He would never use that language now and realises this kind of retaliatory, inflammatory, insulting language is completely unacceptable.”
An ITV spokeswoman said: “Jack has issued a full apology and has deleted the tweets that he sent.”
On last night’s show, Jack – whose brother is singer Conor Maynard – was paired up with Made in Chelsea’s Georgia Toffolo after viewers voted for the stars to buddy up to try to win a meal ticket.
To do so they had to take part in a Walk the Plank challenge 334ft up on the roof of a Gold Coast hotel in Australia.
The pair both completed the challenge, as did Jennie McAlpine, Amir Khan, Vanessa White, and Jamie Lomas.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kem Cetinay suffered a “scary” fall during training for ‘Dancing On Ice’ when he hit his head on the ice.
The ‘Love Island’ winner is set to take part in the rebooted ITV celebrity skating competition when it returns to screens next year, but his training hasn’t been going as smoothly as he would’ve liked, as he admits he’s had “quite a few falls”, including one which left him needing to be “checked” by medical professionals.
He said: “I have had quite a few falls in training – I fell on the ice and cracked my head which was pretty scary but luckily I was checked and all OK.”
The 21-year-old hunk also admits he was “really down” during his first month of training for the show as he didn’t feel he was progressing as quickly as the other celebrities, but now that he’s finally had the “training penguin” taken away from him, he’s feeling more confident.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: “I was really down the first month because I was so behind everyone else.
”My trainer said I was the least natural out of everyone on the show this year. All the other contestants have been coming down and watching me and saying they are better than me, too.
”But in the last week, I feel I have turned a corner because I have had the training penguin taken away from me and put in the staff room.”
It comes after Kem – who won ITV2 reality show ‘Love Island’ earlier this year with his girlfriend Amber Davies – admitted he was throwing “tantrums” during training because he finds the process “too hard”.
He said previously: “I’m the most unflexible, uncoordinated person ever.
“The physio asked, ‘How high can you kick your leg?’ and I was like, ‘This is it’.
“And the skates hurt my feet as well.
“I keep throwing tantrums too. I’ll be 10 minutes in and just be like, ‘This is too hard, I can’t do it anymore.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rai-Elle Williams and Holly Tandy have been eliminated from ‘The X Factor’.
The contestants lost out on the public vote on Sunday’s (19.11.17) episode, becoming the third and fourth contestants to leave the show during the weekend’s quadruple eliminations.
Holly said: “We’re two 16-year-olds and we’ve done so well so far. You will see us again.”
Rai-Elle added: “You are going to see me again. It isn’t the end for me.”
Their mentor Sharon Osbourne was upset to lose both of her acts and loudly exclaimed “Oh f**k,” before recovering her composure.
She said: “They have both done so great. It has only been six weeks, not 10 like usual, so they are already ahead of the game. They are not going away.”
Meanwhile, Simon Cowell’s group Rak-Su beat off competition from Sharon’s remaining competitor Grace Davies to win the Prize Fund sing-off.
The group were rewarded with an LA recording session and Louis Walsh’s car.
Meanwhile, Sean and Conor Price and Sam Black were also eliminated from ‘The X Factor’ over the weekend.
The Irish brothers and the 20-year-old plasterer were voted off the competition during Saturday’s (18.11.17) show, as they each failed to impress the voting public with their performances of songs around the ‘Crazy In Love’ theme.

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Terry has hit back at bodyshamers.
The 24-year-old ‘X Factor’ winner was taunted by online trolls about his shape after he appeared on the show on Saturday (18.11.17) but Matt insisted he is happy with how he looks and he encouraged other people to love themselves too.
He wrote on Instagram: “Here we go …. I wondered when something like this would happen. So I woke up this morning after my incredible night back at the show to body shaming. I wanted to do a little post to let my fans know that honestly I’m fine. I love you guys for standing tall and backing me. You are one hell of a fandom.”
He shared a video of himself wearing just his underwear and the same shirt he wore on ‘The X Factor’ and insisted that camera angles and lighting “sometimes aren’t your best mates”.
He added: “Here’s me, this morning with last nights shirt in my pants… As far as my body, I’ve always been built, always been that stone heavier than my friends and brothers but guess what I’m HAPPY. I think it’s easy to forget that not everyone is as confident as they’d like to be, not everyone is happy with themselves but do me a favour and LOVE yourself. Everybody deserves to be loved and don’t let negative people stand in your way. Alright ?! Sometimes cameras and lighting aren’t your best mates, and everyone is entitled to their opinion but my advice would be choose your words carefully. It doesn’t take much to break a person. Luckily I’m strong and positive and maaaan are there some positives from last night !!! (sic).”
And Matt was celebrating after his new single was positively received following his ‘X Factor’ performance.
He wrote: “‘The Thing About Love’ my new single I wrote with some incredible pals jumped up over 60 places on iTunes last night and we are currently at #19. My debut album trouble is currently at #2 for pre-order!! (MENTAL). I was reunited with all my XF family and judges and I had a smashing time !!! Now..HAPPY SUNDAY and I cannot wait for my roast dinner (sic).”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ant McPartlin joked about his recent rehab stint during the opening episode of ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ on Sunday (19.11.17).
The 42-year-old presenter and his co-host Declan Donnelly, also 42, poked fun at reports that Ant could have been replaced by Holly Willoughby on the show, after he took time out to receive treatment for addiction.
Opening the ITV show, Dec said: “Hello, good morning, good evening, welcome to Australia, we’re back! And, we’re here for the next three weeks, your hosts with the most, me and the gorgeous Holly Willoughby.”
Ant jokingly interrupted him, saying: “What! Sorry, what? What!”, before Dec pretended to berate the production team.
He said: “Oh guys, that’s the wrong script! You’ve put the wrong script in the thing… Nobody was sure if you were going to make it or not! We didn’t know. We didn’t know if you’d be here.”
Ant replied: “I was always going to make it… come on! I’m back my friend – come on?” before he gave his pal a huge hug.
Ant – who has presented the show since 2002 – spent two months in rehab for painkiller addiction earlier this year but recently revealed he was thrilled to be back for ‘I’m A Celebrity’.
He said: “I’m excited to be back, I can’t wait.
“It’s going to be a good show. I’m feeling great. The flight [to Australia] was all right, I had a lot of sleep and me and Dec had a good catch-up.”
And the feeling is mutual for Dec as he’s glad he has his partner back by his side and has teased that the new series will be full of “little added twists.”
He explained: “I’m looking forward to spending more time with him.
“It’s brilliant to be back together, it’s perfect. Everything just slotted back into place. We can’t wait and we’re raring to go. We are really excited. We’ll have the same old shenanigans, but with a few little added twists. We just can’t wait to get in and get going now. We’ve been waiting for ages, it’s been a long summer break so we can’t wait.”

Buddies Jennie and Jamie successfully received their meal ticket, as did Jack and Toff.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jonnie Peacock is the eighth celebrity to be eliminated from ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ this year.
The Paralympic gold medallist and his professional partner Oti Mabuse faced entertainer Debbie McGee and Giovanni Pernice in the dance off on Sunday (19.11.17) after both couples scored the lowest on the Blackpool episode of the show on Saturday (18.11.17).
Jonnie and Oti performed their Tango to ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics in a bid to impress the judges and remain in the competition, while Debbie and Giovanni did their Samba to a Spice Girls Medley (‘Wannabe/Who Do You Think You Are?’).
Craig Revel Horwood chose to save Debbie and Giovanni, saying: “For technical cleanliness and outstanding performance skill I am going to save Debbie and Giovanni.”
Darcey Bussell also opted for Debbie and Giovanni, explaining: “It’s very difficult because both couples made such improvements tonight but the couple I would like to save just on giving a technically more competent performance is Debbie and Giovanni.”
And they were Bruno’s choice too as he said: “Let me say, they both did great jobs, great performances, very different, very effective but I have to save the couple who I think overall is much stronger and for that reason I save Debbie and Giovanni.”
Head Judge Shirley Ballas revealed that she agreed with her fellow judges.
When asked by co-host Tess Daly if he had enjoyed his time on the show, Jonnie said: “Massively. I think it’s been an absolute honour to be the first disabled person and I want to thank each and every one of you for judging me as an equal. That’s what I want. You’ve been critical with me and I want that criticism; and I think that’s fantastic and hope it paves the way for more people to come through and I think they may be able to stick their bum under a bit better than me. I need to say an absolutely gigantic thank you to this woman for pushing me because she knows what I’m capable of. Her choreography has been has been outstanding, and for putting up with me, pinching me, biting me – thank you so much.”
Oti added: “This has been one of the most life changing things that could ever happen to me. Jonnie is not only an inspiration but he represents so much more. If anybody wants to do anything, if you put your mind to it then you can achieve it and that’s what he represents.”
Sunday’s results show also featured a Northern Soul group performance including the celebrities and professional dancers and two musical acts; Michael Ball and Alfie Boe and Tears for Fears.

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Damon’s cameo in ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ was “very surreal”, according to Kevin Feige.
The President of Marvel Studios has admitted that he was shocked when Matt agreed to take the part in the movie – which stars Chris Hemsworth as the titular character – and described it as “very surreal and amazing” seeing Matt dressed as Loki.
He told Collider: “Who could be Loki? We didn’t have any brilliant ideas. At one point, off handedly, Mr. Hemsworth goes, ‘Well what if I ask my friend Matt?’ I said, ‘Matt who?’
“He said, ‘My friend, Matt Damon.’ ‘Okay. Sure. Sure Chris, ask your friend Matt Damon. Give me a break. He’s not doing this.’ ‘Oh he’s gonna do it. He’s flying down.’ The next thing I know, Matt Damon is on set in a full Loki costume, full Loki wig … It is very surreal and very amazing.”
Meanwhile, Feige previously rubbished the suggestion that all Marvel movies are the same.
He said: “I mean, I think it’s just the way we make the movies. I think all the movies are relatively different. I think there’s a narrative that people like to write about because they’re all produced by the same team and they all inhabit the same fictional cinematic universe. That we look for common similarities.
“And I’m not saying there aren’t common similarities throughout it, but I think ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ and ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ are two totally different types of movies.
“They’re both fun. People both enjoy them. Is that a similarity? If so, I’ll take it. If that’s a criticism, I’ll take that, too. But really, yeah, ‘Homecoming’, ‘Ragnarok’, ‘Panther’, into ‘Infinity War’, ‘Ant-Man’ and the ‘Wasp’ after that. And a ’90s-set ‘Captain Marvel’ after that; these are six very different movies.
“If what they have in common is they’re all really enjoyable and fun to watch, then I’ll take it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Franco was worried he wouldn’t have “chemistry” with his wife Alison Brie on the set of their new movie.
The 32-year-old actor starred alongside his wife on their new comedy film ‘The Disaster Artist’ and he admits he was a little nervous about doing so because he didn’t want there to be no chemistry between him.
He said: “I’ve been lucky enough to work with Alison a few times this past year. It was a little scary going into the first project, because we were playing love interests in that one as well. In the back of my mind, I was scared that there might not be chemistry between us onscreen, and that would be weird.”
However, it was much easier than Dave thought it would be as he feels “so comfortable” with her.
He told InStyle magazine: “But on the contrary, it was so easy to act with her. I feel so comfortable with her, she knows me better than anyone on the planet, and I feel more willing to take risks in front of her, knowing that she’s not gonna judge anything that I do. She really does bring out the best in me in my work, too.”
Meanwhile, Dave previously revealed he feels it is “finally the right time” to work on a movie with his brother James.
He said: “It was finally the right timing. For the first 10 or so years of my career, I just wanted to do my own thing. I wanted to make a name for myself, and as much as I love him and respect him, I just wanted it to be separate.
“And after a while, it’s like, I feel like I’m standing on my own two feet, [so] I was like, ‘I don’t care what people are going to say [or] if they think I am riding his coattails.’ I know that I have been true to myself. We had a really great time, have very similar sensibilities and are hoping to work on a lot more things together.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Armie Hammer is happy to star in a ‘Call Me By Your Name’ sequel.
The 31-year-old actor stars opposite Timothée Chalamet in the coming-of-age drama – which is based on André Aciman’s novel of the same name – and had such a great time working on the love story, he’d be open to “anything” director Luca Guadagnino wanted to do in the future.
Asked about the filmmakers hints about a second movie, he said: “You never know with Luca. Sometimes he’s joking sometimes I think he’s not. People always say, ‘You left a small part of the book out’.
“Well yeah, it might be a small part of the book in terms of overall page count, but it spans 20-30 years. Luca is joking about coming back to it but my answer to that is, I’ll do anything Luca wants.”
Even before the release of the movie, which follows the passionate relationship which develops when a young Italian man named Elio (Chalamet) meets Oliver (Hammer) after he visits the country to stay at his parents’ villa, it has received a widespread positive response online and though Armie is happy about that, he’s also feeling “apprehensive” because he fears there is no way the film can match audience expectation.
He added to Gay Times magazine: “It’s pretty intense. Very few people have anything but the most positive things to say, so it’s really hard to have a problem with that. I think also it does make me a little bit apprehensive because expectations can be the root of all suffering.
“If we spend so much time building this up, people are going to literally expect the most perfect movie of all time, which is impossible. It makes me excited but it also makes me nervous at the same time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Hemsworth had an “awkward situation” when producers discussed how best to tan his ass.
The 34-year-old actor – who has five-year-old daughter India, and three-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan with spouse Elsa Pataky – was left feeling uncomfortable when he had to strip naked on set while a group of people stood around him and debated the best method to give his butt a bronzed glow.
He said: “There was an awkward situation recently when I had to be naked for filming.
“Before we started shooting, there was a whole group of people standing round discussing the best method of tanning my ass and whether it should be rubbed in or sprayed on.”
Chris has to be very fit for his role in the Marvel Universe as Thor, and he admits it took a very “boring” workout regime because there was no way to get the physique he needed apart from eating right and lifting weights.
He said: “There’s no shortcut to getting the body I had for Thor. It’s all about a strict regime, heavy weightlifting and eating a lot.
“It’s actually pretty boring because it involves doing the same exercise over and over and you have to be in the gym rather than outside. My muscles were pushed to the limit to achieve that look, so I was pretty stiff and sore.
“My regular workout is more versatile, I think that’s the key for mental stimulation and for enjoyment too. I do a lot of boxing, Muai Thai and yoga, then I weave in weightlifting. As long as I’m fit enough to surf, I’m happy.”
To soothe his aching muscles, the Australian actor would get a massage at home, and use the sessions to bond with his kids.
He told Marie Claire magazine: “We usually have someone come to our house and when I’m lying there with my face poking through the hole in the bed, the kids sit underneath and we have a chat. It has to be a painful massage, one of those intense ones that really work out all the knots.”
