OHMYGOSSIP — Lucy Pargeter will never choose to leave ‘Emmerdale’.
The 47-year-old actress has starred as Chas Dingle on the ITV1 soap opera since 2002 and admitted that if she is written out, it will not be her decision and show bosses would have to “drag” her out because she is just happy to have the job.
She told MyWeekly magazine: “I don’t think I will ever make the decision to leave myself – they’ll have to write me out, but even they they’d have to drag me out kicking and screaming! I’ve got a job that I love and I’ll stay as long as they’ll have me.”
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ contestant admitted that despite the “difficult storylines” she has had to tackle over the years, she still manages to have a laugh at some point in he working day and “can’t complain” at all about the role despite the demanding hours and the “tiring” nature of the job.
She said: “Even if I’m doing difficult storylines, there’s not a day goes by where we don’t laugh and giggle. We’re sometimes like children in kindergarten.
“Even though we’ve all been here so long, we still enjoy creating stories and we’re constantly coming up with ideas.
“It can be long hours and it’s tiring sometimes, but I can’t complain, because I love it.”
In recent episode, Chas has been diagnosed with breast cancer and while Lucy has no experience with the disease herself, she was still able to give the writers some suggestions as she recalled having the “practicalities”of having her implants removed
She said: “Having my implants removed and being left with very tiny breasts is a massive thing.
“While I wouldn’t want to put the experience of what I’ve been through personally with my breasts in anywhere near the same category (as cancer), having had that surgery I can relate and draw upon it. You’re in pain, so there are practicalities during the recovery. I’ve said to the storyliners that we should maybe include the fact that she can’t wash her hair, because you can’t physically move your arms to do that. I couldn’t wash my hair for a couple of weeks because of the scars and pain.
“You struggle with buttons and with putting clothes over your head, so everything has to be zip-up. These are little things, but they are details that people who haven’t gone through that sort of surgery wouldn’t know.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Married At First Sight UK’ star Paul C Brunson wants a polyamorous couple on the show.
The 49-year-old relationship guru and matchmaker – who also works as Tinder’s head of global research – admitted the Channel 4 show needs to “keep up” with changes in the way society views romance.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’ve never had this question. I am pro love and this is what I stand for.
“I have friends in polyamorous relationships and I’ve done the research on them and I know there are high levels of satisfaction when you have high levels of communication.
“So, as society demands changes in our relationships, we as a show will have to keep up with that and we’ll have to follow the same path.”
In his new book, the ‘Find Love’ author has preached the benefits of finding “a strong partner”, describing it as “the most important decision we make in our lifetime”.
He explained: “With a strong partner you live longer, you’re healthier, you make more money, you’re able to realise all the things that you’re looking to get out of life.
“But when you choose the wrong partner, or worse, you’re just chosen, you tend not to get all those things.”
He also reflected on people “who are unsure if they’re with or married to the strongest partner”, as he reflected on the ‘Long-Term Relationship Satisfaction Scale (LRSS)’, which he created with psychologist to “evaluate” the strength of your relationship and “areas you need to work on”.
He said the research suggests in the UK, US and similar places, 80 percent of marriages “are less satisfied than ever”, with the remaining 20 percent being people who “put in the work”.
Asked why he thinks the number is so low, he added: “Well, we require more from our partner today than ever before. We’re looking for our intellectual equal, our best sex mate, best co-parent, best CEO of the business we’re launching.
“But back in the 1980s and 1970s it didn’t used to be that way; you would have a village of people meeting those needs. It’s very difficult to get everything from one person.
“That’s another reason why people are re-evaluating if monogamy is for them.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sue Cleaver decided to live life for herself when she turned 60.
The actress – who has 28-year-old son Elliot with ex-husband James Quinn – is best known for having starred as Eileen Grimshaw in ‘Coronation Street’ from 2000 but in the run-up to her milestone birthday decided that it was time to do other things, like appear on ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ and join the ITV1 chat show ‘Loose Women’.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’, she said: “I brought my son up, my priority was always my son and then I just thought that as soon as he’d gone…he’s 28 now…I just decided…I hit 60 and decided that this decade is for me, I’m gonna have fun, I’m gonna do what I want to do. I’m gonna come out from being this mum where that was my main priority. It started with me going in the jungle. I love being on the ‘Loose Women’ panel. I can be me, and I have enough to say.”
The soap legend is now starring as Mother Superior in the UK tour of ‘Sister Act: The Musical’ but will soon be back in her role as matriarch Eileen, who, over the years, has brought up sons Jason (Ryan Thomas) and Todd (Gareth Pierce) as a single mother, had a number of ill-fated relationships including one with a fireman whose wife was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and has become the infamous arch-enemy of Gail Platt (Helen Worth).
But Eileen is now in a relationship with undertaker George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) and Sue shared her hopes that the characters will get to tie the knot one day in a classic ‘Corrie’ wedding.
She said: “I have a few months’ grace to do this job and then I will be back in there as soon as I’ve finished. I’m pushing for George and Eileen to have a big old-fashioned ‘Corrie’ wedding. Funny things can [go wrong]. We don’t want to lose anybody!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sharon Osbourne nominates Gary Goldsmith for eviction on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 71-year-old former ‘X Factor’ judge was given the option of putting either ‘Ibiza Weekender’ star David Potts, presenter Zeze Millz or Gary – whose niece is Catherine, Princess of Wales – up for the public vote and at risk of being the first housemate to be kicked out of the reality show house.
On tonight’s (06.03.24) episode of the ITV show, Sharon is in the Diary Room making her decision as the remaining housemates watch a live stream of her choice.
Big Brother says: “It’s now time to decide which one of these Housemates will face the public vote which could lead to their eviction from the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.”
Big Brother adds: “Sharon, please give the name of the Housemate who will receive your nomination.”
Sharon reveals: “The Housemate that I nominate is Gary.”
It remains to be seen how Gary will react to the news when Sharon returns to the house, and viewers will find out her reasons for nominating him.
Earlier in the episode, with her big decision looming, she spoke to each of the three housemates in the danger zone in her lair.
Speaking to Gary first, she says: “So, we’re going to have a nice little chat Gary. Tell me why did you accept the offer to come into the house?”
He responds: “It does bother me what the public perception of me is. The black sheep of the family. I’m a normal bloke. It just so happens that my niece married Will.”
Talking to David, she tells him: “When I first met you and I saw you with no trousers on, I was quite shocked. And then when we got talking, I realised it’s your thing. Not that I’m a prude because I’m not.”
Asked how he felt when he heard he was “in the ring of fire”, he says: “I wasn’t shocked at all because I’ve had this quite a lot in my life.
“On first impressions, people are a bit like ‘woo, he’s just dying for attention’ when that is just not the case.”
When she speaks to Zeze, he claims he gets “a lot of backlash online because I say how I feel”.
She asks him what he wants to get out of being on the show, and he adds: ” think it’s more about people seeing a different side of me. People think I’m this hard-headed person.”
Meanwhile, the house is transformed for a day at the race, with the housemates taking on roles as owners, jockeys and horses for an equestrian themed talks, with Sharon talking on the role as race steward as the others race around the course to win the “coveted gold cup”.
Elsewhere in the episode, actress Marisha Wallace and Ekin-Su Culculoglu chat about relationships, and ‘The Real Housewives of Cheshire’ star Lauren Simon recalls meeting Simon Cowell and being given his card while dancing on a table.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

OHMYGOSSIP — Fern Britton was “not getting on” with Phillip Schofield towards the end of their time on ‘This Morning’, but she has vowed to act “with caution and kindness” if she spills any secrets about him on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 66-year-old TV presenter entered the infamous abode alongside several stars, including former ‘X Factor’ judges Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne, on Monday night (04.03.24), but Fern insisted her views on ‘This Morning’ will be “very old” and “not terribly interesting”.
Fern – who co-hosted the brunchtime show from 1999 to 2009 – told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Apparently I’ve signed up to spill the beans! Well, right now, I can tell you that I think let’s approach with caution and kindness.
“It’s fair to say that towards the end we were not getting on. Things were tricky.
“There are some things that I think as a collective almost nation there are things you can’t and wouldn’t want to hear or see or be talked about.
“I haven’t been on that show for 15 years. I don’t know anything that’s been going on since then. And so it would be A, very old views. B, not terribly interesting, but I did love ‘This Morning’. I absolutely loved it.
“I wasn’t expecting to resign on the day I resigned.”
Fern believes she has “toughened up a bit” since her ‘This Morning’ tenure.
She said: “There’s a lot of stuff that I have obviously learned from and toughened up a bit.
“And it hasn’t all been a breeze, but I don’t regret, apart from if I’d put my mind to it, I could have done more.”
The TV presenter and author also admitted ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ viewers might be “surprised” at her “potty mouth”.
She said: “I think I’ve generally been myself [on screen].
“They might be surprised at how much I swear! I’ve got a potty mouth. I taught all my children all of the words and how to use them properly.
“Context is always a thing. Context, never in aggression. Only ever for amusement!”
‘Celebrity Big Brother’ continues tonight on at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player, and is available in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Goldsmith plans to share “loads of family anecdotes” on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 58-year-old millionaire businessman – whose niece is Catherine, Princess of Wales – has insisted his family can “trust” him to “play the game well”, and he wants to shine a light on some “really lovely” stories from the royal’s early life.
Speaking before going onto the ITV reality show, he told The Sun newspaper: “It’s all lovely stories. There’s loads of family anecdotes and I’ll share them all because they’re all really lovely.
“I remember holding Kate for the first time and her playing in the garden and having water fights. We’ve got loads of fun stuff we did together when she was growing up.
“Who was to think that little girl would end up our future Queen?
Despite his good intentions, he admitted he can see why his sister Carole will be feeling “slightly anxious” about his stint in the CBB house.
He added: “I think she [Carole] will probably be watching me from behind the sofa, slightly anxious, but I do think if the best version of Gary turns up, she’d be very proud of me — that’s what we were hoping for.”
Gary even thinks Kate will be tuning in if she hears that he’s “doing great”, although he could see her turning over if things take a different turn.
He said: “Could you imagine if George and Charlotte watch? I mean it’s the type of show that a family could watch. But it’s past the watershed and will they be asleep by then?
“Maybe if I’m doing a weird task, Uncle Gary dressed as a chicken or something. But if I make people proud, I’ll be absolutely chuffed and maybe they’ll get to see it.
“But I need to work on my potty mouth first. I swear a lot.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dave Myers’ companies were worth a seven-figure sum when he tragically passed away last month aged 66.
The ‘Hairy Bikers’ star died “peacefully at home” last week, two years after revealing he had been diagnosed with cancer.
It has now been revealed his production company Sharpletter, which the late star owned with his wife Liliana Orzac, had £1,407,338 in the bank, according to the latest Companies House statements.
According to The Sun newspaper, that is an increase of £200,000 on the previous 12 months.
The publication has also revealed Companies House documents show an organisation owned by Dave and his good friend and fellow Hairy Biker Si King was worth nearly £100,000.
Si announced Dave’s passing last week, and led tributes to his late co-star.
In a post on X, Si wrote: “Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.
“Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya. (sic)”
Bearded celebrity cooks Dave and Si were well known as the Hairy Bikers.
They have presented numerous motorcycling travelogues together, in which they would travel around the UK, and further afield, on motorbikes and stop off to sample some local delicacies, as well as cook up some tasty treats themselves.
Dave never disclosed which type of cancer he had, and admitted that was a deliberate move.
He only reluctantly went public with his diagnosis because of the impact of his treatment.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jordan Sangha thinks Gary Goldsmith is “up to no good” on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 26-year-old former lawyer won the civilian series of the ITV2 reality show towards the end of 2023, and he made a panel appearance on the show’s spin-off programme following the launch of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ on Monday (04.03.24) evening.
But Jordan admitted he “cannot stand” Gary – who is the uncle of Catherine, Princess of Wales – and has found himself “cringing” at him already.
Speaking on ‘Big Brother Late and Live’, he said: “I cannot stand him already, you saw that clip of him sneaking into the bedroom, he’s up to no good already. He just makes me cringe.”
Gary was among the celebrities to enter the house on Monday alongside ‘This Morning’ legend Fern Britton, ‘Real Housewives of Cheshire’ star Lauren Simon, radio host Zeze Millz, ‘Dragons’ Den’ contestant Levi Roots, David Potts of ‘Ibiza Weekender’ fame, and West End actress Marisha Wallace.
Also in the line-up is ‘Coronation Street’ star Colson Smith and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional Nikita Kuzmin, as well as ‘Love Island’ winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu.
But, in a surprise twist, former ‘X Factor’ judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh were the first to enter the house and were hidden away from their co-stars as they watched their every move.
They were tasked with choosing three celebrities to put in danger of eviction based on their first impressions, and they picked Gary, David, and Zeze.
Explaining her decision, Sharon said: “David has come to show off, he was trying too hard to be outrageous. Gary is very nervous and I don’t think he’s comfortable. Zeze – I didn’t get a sense of who she is yet.”
Both Sharon and Louis were then seen greeting their co-stars in the house as they joined their fellow celebrities for the first time.

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Atack is having a baby boy.
The 34-year-old TV star is expecting her first child with partner Dr Alistair Garner, and she made a surprise announcement live on air to reveal the gender of her baby.
Speaking on ‘BBC Breakfast’, Emily – who is heading up a campaign to introduce Affirmative Consent in relationships – said: “Education in schools is so important.
“I don’t remember any sex education at school for me and I think that as a nation we are very embarrassed, repressed and shy about these things.
“But I also think that it’s important to have boys and girls talking about it together. Good education underpinned with a change in law is a start.
“I’m six months and … I wasn’t going to say this but I am going to say it … I’m having a boy!
“And so I want him to be a part of a really positive change and I want him to grow up knowing that he can talk about these things openly and enjoy his life. I want him to be on the right side of history.”
The former ‘Celebrity Juice’ star added that while she doesn’t have the “perfect solution” to the issue of consent just yet, signing a petition will create a “social norm” when it comes to talking openly about the topic.
She added: “Some days I have hope, sometimes the futility feels kind of draining but I think if we keep having these conversations, sign this petition – as I say it’s not the perfect solution but it’s a really good start – will create a societal norm that this stuff is being talked about and people won’t be so embarrassed to talk about it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Good Morning Britain’s Entertainment Editor Richard Arnold turned down the chance to appear in this year’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 54-year-old TV presenter has confirmed he was sent a letter about starring in ITV’s first-ever ‘CBB’ series, which kicked off on Monday night (04.03.24), but hinted he rejected the opportunity due to money.
During a conversation about the new series with his ‘GMB’ colleagues Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley, he said on the morning show: “There was a conversation, a letter, an approach.”
Richard then asked: “Well why didn’t you do it?”
Afterwards, a “cha-ching” sound effect could be heard, which suggested it could be due to the amount offered.
Richard then joked he was only offered “a tenner [£10]”, in contrast to the reported £500,000 Sharon Osbourne is receiving to appear as the show’s “lodger” for a limited time during the series.
He quipped: “Sharon Osbourne, five hundred grand. A tenner for TV’s Richard Arnold!”
Susanna insisted Richard would’ve been “brilliant” if he had taken part in the series, but he didn’t sound too keen.
He explained: “I don’t know if I’d want to open the book that far, to be honest.”
Gary Goldsmith – the uncle of Catherine, Princess of Wales – was among the celebrities to enter the house on Monday alongside ‘This Morning’ legend Fern Britton, ‘Real Housewives of Cheshire’ star Lauren Simon, radio host Zeze Millz, ‘Dragons’ Den’ contestant Levi Roots, Ibiza Weekender’s David Potts, and West End actress Marisha Wallace.
‘Coronation Street’ star Colson Smith, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional Nikita Kuzmin, and ‘Love Island’ winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu are also in the line-up.
A surprise twist saw former ‘X Factor’ judges Sharon and Louis Walsh enter the house first, and they were tasked with sitting in a secret room and judging their housemates’ every move.
They then picked three of them, Gary, David, and Zeze, to enter the “danger zone”, meaning one of the trio will be up for the first public vote.
‘Celebrity Big Brother’ continues tonight on at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player, and is available in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
