OHMYGOSSIP — Josh Hartnett started hallucinating while filming ‘6 Below’ due to his weight loss.
The 39-year-old actor is currently starring in the new film about real-life snowboarder/hockey player Eric LeMarque, who was stranded for eight days in a massive winter storm, and during filming Hartnett wanted a realistic performance and lost a dramatic amount of weight but almost lost his mind.
Speaking to the Metro newspaper, she said: “Because Eric lost weight on the mountain, I was on a diet that was minuscule.
“The amount of food I was eating was almost non-existent. So along with expending all this energy in high altitude, I wasn’t taking anything in, so I was losing my mind from the hallucinatory effects of weight loss.”
The film – helmed by Scott Waugh – tells the dramatic story of LeMarque who, after being stranded in a mountain, starts coming to terms with his own demons and rediscovers the power of faith while fighting for survival.
Not only did Harnett nearly lose his mind while film in the high altitudes of the Utah mountains, but the actor admitted he also had the beginnings of frostbite.
He said: “The cold up in the Utah mountains was uncomfortable but you can dress in layers of things underneath what the character’s wearing that can deal with that. You’re not immune to the cold when you’re up in those elements. There’s always cold that will be beyond your breaking point – but there were ways of dealing with it.
“At one point, I had the beginnings of frostbite and we had to stop filming so I could warm up. Medics wanted me to stop for a couple of days while my feet thawed but it wasn’t possible so we had to put in more of those breakable heat pads in my boots and make sure I took breaks to warm up.”
Hartnett stars alongside Mira Sorvino, Sarah Dumont and Jason Cottle in the new survival drama.

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood will get married by the end of next year.
The ‘Love Island’ couple have only been dating for four months and, during that time have broken up numerous times, but it looks like things are finally on track for them as the 24-year-old hunk is keen to tie the knot with the blonde beauty, 26, in 2018.
Speaking to the Mail Online, Chris said: “At the end of next year I’m going to get married. I don’t know when I’m going to propose.
“I want a kid at the end of next year as well. I’ll be 25 by then, just before my 26th birthday next year, and when my kid is about 15 I’ll be 40. When we go to the park and kick around a football in the park, I won’t injure my knees! I’ve got it all planned.”
And, although the pair accept that their relationship hasn’t been plain sailing, the farm boy believes their break ups are because he hasn’t been pulling his weight.
Chris – who moved in with Olivia just a week after they left the villa in August – explained: “It’s me pulling my weight. I’m not very good at washing up or cooking and generally I’m quite messy. I’m actually quite lazy – very lazy, in fact. I think that’s what has taken a long to adapt to. We are getting there. I’m becoming house trained.”
And now that he’s finally getting sorted, Chris – who is currently locked in a bitter war of words with Katie Price over a flirty text exchange – thinks they’re stronger than ever.
He added: “Our love is strong. I feel like we get stronger each day. We’ve overcome barriers here and there, which is natural in a relationship.
“We were kind of obsessed with each other so it’s gone from strength to strength. We loved each other in the villa but now we’re in love so it’s switched it up a bit.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Megan McKenna’s house was ransacked last weekend.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star has had thousands of pounds worth of jewellery, designer handbags, sunglasses, technology and memory boxes with sentimental value snatched from her property in Essex after thieves managed to break in during the evening.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “She returned from a night out in Faces last weekend to find her home completely ransacked.
“They took everything they could get their hands on – including jewellery that had been given to her by her grandparents, who are no longer alive.
“The thieves rummaged through her personal memory boxes that had massive sentimental value, including her name tag from the opening night of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’. She’s had designer handbags, shoes and sunglasses stolen and they even went as far to go through her underwear drawer. Megan feels totally traumatised – this is the worst thing that could have happened following her split from Pete Wicks.”
A spokesperson for the 25-year-old beauty has confirmed the police are investigating.
They said: “Megan’s home was burgled at the weekend and police are investigating.”
The ‘Far Cry From Love’ hitmaker is convinced the burglars managed to work out where she lived from watching the scenes filmed there on ‘TOWIE’ over the summer.
Megan hasn’t had the easiest of times recently as she split from her boyfriend Pete last week following a series of blazing rows over her recent music success, which has seen her storm the iTunes Download Charts with her single ‘High Heeled Shoes’.
The star then came under fire earlier this week when it was claimed she’d rekindled her romance with her ex-boyfriend Harry Eden just days after she and Pete broke up.
An insider said recently “Megan has always had this bond with Harry. It’s no surprise she turned to him when things got hard with Pete and now she’s single they’re seeing how things go before deciding whether to go for a full on relationship.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Supermarket Sweep’ is set to make a television comeback.
The popular game show hasn’t been seen on screens since 2007 when it was temporarily revived following its shocking axe in 2007, but FremantleMedia has finally made dreams come true for the nation as they have acquired the global format rights to the iconic shopping series and will be bringing it back sometime next year.
Vasha Wallace, EVP, Global Acquisitions and Development, said: “The time is ripe to bring back this all-time favourite gameshow which has travelled with such success over the years. Now, modern technology allows us the opportunity to update the show, making it relevant for a 21st century audience.
“It is a great addition to this year’s MIPCOM slate and given the interest we’ve had already we’re confident that everyone will be as excited for its return as we are.”
‘Supermarket Sweep’ sees players enter a store where three teams of two go head-to-head using their skills and knowledge of merchandise to win cash prizes.
But players must also answer pop culture questions and solve puzzles based on the products and merchandise found in the supermarkets around the world.
The show concludes in an all-or-nothing trolley dash, where the successful team have to beat the clock and hunt down items hidden among the supermarket aisles and shelves.
Henry Howard, son of creator Al Howard, said: “In ‘Supermarket Sweep’, one lucky team tries for the bonus money, but on this show, there are no losers – only shoppers having a great time.
“I’m delighted that Fremantle has made the exciting decision to bring back this classic game show, and I look forward to working with their talented teams around the world. In honor of Supermarket Sweep’s return….I believe I’ll go shopping!”
It’s not known whether Dale Winton – who fronted the show from 1993 until 2001 and then again for the one-off series in 2007 – has been asked to reprise his hosting role.

OHMYGOSSIP — James ‘Arg’ Argent thinks Gemma Collins can be “a bit of a drama queen.”
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star was shocked when he found out that his on/off ex-girlfriend had tried to “trap” him by not taking her contraceptive pill when they had sex last year because she was desperate to have a baby, but he has admitted he doesn’t know what to believe when she tells him things because she fabricates things for attention.
Speaking on ‘Loose Women’ on Friday (13.10.17), he said: “The thing is with Gemma – I love her to bits as a friend – is she is a bit of a character, she likes the attention and you never really know whether she’s being real or a bit of a drama queen.
“The thing is with ‘TOWIE’, I said to the producer: ‘Look, I will come back but I just want to ease myself in gently, do some fun stuff with the lads.’ Literally, come back, first episode I’m in a shop with GC and there’s tears and tantrums.”
The 29-year-old star slept with Gemma, 36, shortly after he split from his long-term girlfriend Lydia Bright and, although they ended on bad terms, they’re now friends.
He explained: “We have kept in contact, we sent the odd text message here and there. I bumped into her mum the other day and I popped into her mum’s for a cup of tea, I spoke with Lydia on the phone. We’ve actually become really good friends. Lydia was my first love – we were on and off for eight years – and my only love thus far. I think it’s nice that we can talk now and be friends but, at the moment, that’s all it is.”
Arg spent three months in rehab in Thailand last year for his addiction to alcohol and is glad he decided to seek help because he hasn’t “looked back since” his release.
He added: “I was only meant to be out there for a month but I extended it by two months because I wanted to get it sorted once and for all. And I haven’t looked back since …
“I’ve lost nearly four stone now and I did a really fun show ‘Celebs Go Dating’ for pretty much the whole summer and I’m fortunate now that I’ve come back to ‘TOWIE’.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Willis thinks Olly Murs will bring “good energy” to ‘The Voice’.
The ‘Dear Darlin’ hitmaker has been snapped up by ITV to join the coaches – including will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Jennifer Hudson – on the forthcoming series of the singing competition next year and, although some people aren’t convinced by his signing, the show’s host is convinced he’ll be “fantastic” on the panel and is so “lovely.”
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’ on Friday (13.10.17), the 41-year-old presenter said of Olly: “It’s fantastic! He’s a lovely bloke as well and he’ll bring such a good energy.”
The 33-year-old hunk announced that he’d joined the show earlier this week and can’t wait to get started on the series because he’s determined to win this year.
He said in a statement: “I’m absolutely buzzing about being a coach on ‘The Voice UK’ and can’t wait to sit in the big red chair alongside will, Jennifer and Tom.
“I’m excited to mentor new artists and without doubt, I’m in it to WIN!”
Olly’s new gig comes two years after he was dropped from his presenting position on ‘The X Factor’, which he hosted with Caroline Flack, following a number of gaffes.
But, despite leaving the show, Simon Cowell – who is the boss of ‘The X Factor’ – is reportedly upset that Olly has decided to jump ship and work on the rival series.
A source said recently: “Simon isn’t happy Olly’s swapped allegiances, especially as he left the ‘The X Factor’ to concentrate on his music.”
Olly’s name was thrown around earlier this year when Gavin Rossdale was dropped from the panel because bosses didn’t believe he had the right energy for the show.

OHMYGOSSIP — Debbie McGee is “flattered” that people think Giovanni Pernice fancy her.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star set tongues wagging three weeks ago when she planted a kiss on the professional dancer’s lips during their routine – despite it not being choreographed – but she’s adamant there are no romantic feelings between them because he’s 30 years younger than her and they have a “great” friendship.
Writing in her column for the Daily Telegraph newspaper, the 58-year-old stage performer – who was married to the late Paul Daniels until his death last year – said: “I think it’s totally flattering that people think that Giovanni, who is 30 years younger, fancies me. I read all the headlines and it makes me laugh. We have a lovely friendship and a great chemistry, but going out with someone is totally different.”
The pair – who have found themselves at the high end of the leaderboard every week thus far – will dance the cha-cha-cha to Cher’s ‘The Shoop Shoop Song’ this weekend and Debbie has teased that there may even be another smooch on screen.
She quipped: “Let’s just say, there’s always a possibility for another kiss.”
And the duo are thoroughly enjoying their training time at the moment.
Debbie explained: “I’ve had the giggles all week. Giovanni has discovered that I’m ticklish – he just has to poke me in the ribs and I’m gone. But it’s also because this week’s routine is hilarious: Giovanni is playing a delivery man and I’m a secretary.”
But Debbie has found the routine this week somewhat challenging.
She added: “The cha-cha has been the hardest technique for me to pick up. You have to keep your legs straight and your hips loose.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lucy Mecklenburgh has sparked rumours she’s split from Ryan Thomas.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star has only been dating the 33-year-old actor for four months after they met while filming ‘Bear Grylls: Celebrity Island’ together, but it looks like their relationship has come crashing down as she posted a cryptic photograph of a frog – seemingly making a dig at the hunk – on her Instagram account.
The 26-year-old beauty – who has had a number of failed high-profile relationships didn’t directly mention Ryan but she appeared to imply he wasn’t her prince charming.
Alongside the photo of the frog, Lucy wrote: “I seem to attract frogs.”
The cryptic upload came just hours after Ryan confirmed that he’d joined the cast of the Australian soap ‘Neighbours’ following his exit from ‘Coronation Street’ last year.
He said: “I grew up watching ‘Neighbours’ so to get the chance to join the cast is amazing. I was on holiday with my daughter when I got a phone call from my agent asking if I’d like to play this part. I spoke to the producer and found out more – it was very different from anything I’d played before – it was quite a deep, dark story, that really interested me. It’s a new challenge and I can’t wait to start filming.”
The dark-haired heartthrob will play Rafael Humphreys in the show but not much is known about his alter ego – except that he is an individual with a dark secret who turns up on Ramsay Street to confront a difficult chapter from his past.
Ryan – who has eight-year-old daughter Scarlett with his former partner Tina O’Brien – left the cobbled streets of Weatherfield, in which he played builder Jason Grimshaw and has desperately been trying to carve out a successful career in Hollywood.
He’s set to make his debut on the Channel 5 show in early 2018.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Victoria’ is set to be rocked by a shocking death this weekend.
The second series of the period drama will wrap on Sunday (15.10.17) but fans will be left gripped to the edge of their seats as there will be a surprise exit for a member of the royal household and some “bad news” for one of the characters.
Writer Daisy Goodwin said of the forthcoming series finale: “It’s very dramatic, there’s so much going on. There’s a death and there will be tears. It’s not dry history, I’m trying to make it feel as exciting as it was then.”
But viewers won’t have to wait too long to find out the consequences the shock departure has on the royal family as the show will return for a one-off festive special.
Speaking to the TV Times magazine, Daisy explained: “It’s so exciting and I hope it’ll be delight for people. Albert [played by Tom Hughes] is so crucial to the way we celebrate the festive season now. We can see him take Christmas to unimaginable heights. You’ll be astonished by the royal Christmas; they really go for it.
“There’s not just one tree – every member of the family has one! There’s snow, ice and a dramatic rescue and even an African princess.”
According to the RadioTimes.com, the special will run on Christmas Day (25.12.17) and will last for 120 minutes – including advert breaks – on ITV.
Not much else is known about the special but it’s thought it will be a follow on from the second series, which hit screens in September, as Jenna Coleman reprised her role as the late Queen Victoria, while Tom returned as her handsome husband Albert.
And it seems there may be more series on the way as Daisy still has ideas up her sleeve that she’d like to put into a script over the next few years.
Jenna, 31, explained previously: “We’re doing season two and then it’s a question of where we go from there. There’s no shortage of story. You don’t want to go through it too quickly. There are nine children to have, so there is a long way to go.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ bosses are planning to incorporate cow’s urine into the challenges this year.
The producers of the creepy-crawly show are always trying to come up with new ways to test the competing celebrities, but it looks like the forthcoming series will push the contestants to their limits as they’re keen to put the animal’s wee on the menu for the gruesome Bushtucker Trials.
A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “If Bear Grylls can get his celebrities to drink their own urine [on ‘Celebrity Island’] then we can try to get the celebrities to drink cow pee. It’s going to be pretty vile. But the celebrities should know we always like to come up with new surprises.”
The idea was tested earlier this year on the German edition of the show when actor Markus Majowski was given the urine a shot glass and told to gulp it down in one.
However, he couldn’t bring himself to drink it and screeched “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” almost immediately. He added: “I refuse to drink it.”
But this year’s British celebrities won’t just be forced to drink cow’s urine as they’ll also have to tuck into sheep testicles, pig’s blood and bushpig sperm if they get lumbered with the stomach-chruning eating task.
Not much else is known about the forthcoming series – including the line up – but it’s believed TOWIE’s Gemma Collins is in talks to make a return to the camp after her failed stint in 2014 when she quit the show just 72 hours after entering the jungle.
Tennis legend Boris Becker has also been approached for the series – which will once again be presented by Ant and Dec – as has EastEnders’ Danny Dyer.

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe McFadden’s toes have ballooned.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star has been trying to perfect his cha-cha-cha with his professional partner Katya Jones this week in time for their live performance this weekend, but his Cuban heels have been wreaking havoc for his feet and he’s having to take regular rest breaks during his rehearsals because of his swollen metatarsals.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Joe’s feet are really starting to feel the pain from his Cuban heels. His big toes are getting really squashed and hurt in training and he is in a lot of pain while doing his routine this week. Several times throughout the day he’s having to take breaks and stop to massage his feet.”
And his partner Katya has been trying to do all she can to relieve the pain, so has cut holes in his shoes in order to stop his toes from being so squashed up.
The insider added: “Katya needs him to get back to training and practice their dance so to help him, she has cut holes in his dancing shows to relieve him of the pressure.”
Meanwhile, Joe is so focused on his training that he has admitted he’s got no time to find love on the show – even though he was romantically linked to co-star Mollie King.
The ‘Holby City’ star, 42, said recently: “I don’t know when anyone would have the time for romance, to be perfectly honest. I get home at night and I’m exhausted. All I can do is get myself something to eat and then fall into bed. Sometimes I have time for a hot bath, but that’s about it. I can’t imagine having the energy for anything else.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Eamonn Holmes has been trying to persuade his wife Ruth Langsford to quit ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The ‘This Morning’ host thinks the 57-year-old presenter should step away from the ballroom and latin show now – despite only doing it for three weeks – because he’s convinced she won’t win and he’s really missing her at home due to the amount of hours she spends at rehearsals every single day.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Eamonn, 57, said: “The chances of her winning are nil.
“I say to her, ‘Are you OK? You look exhausted. Is it not time to step away?’
“She is enjoying proving things to herself. I think she loves it.
“The house can be lonely. I work longish hours and when I come home I think ‘Where is Ruthie?’ She’s not there. I have the dog though. She’s very good, lies on her back and rolls over.”
The Irish journalist is struggling so much without his spouse – who he married in 2010 – that he’s actually bought a cardboard cut out of her so that he can still feel like she’s with him when he’s eating dinner.
Ruth said recently: “He’s even bought a cardboard cut out of me.
“He calls himself a ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ widow … I said to him: ‘Excuse me, do you remember when you went into the jungle – you know when he went on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ the spin-off show – not one person rung me and said: “Can I bring a casserole round, Ruth?” Nobody does that to women.” It’s like, I’ve disappeared and he’s going to die.”
Although Eamonn jokes about how bad a dancer Ruth is, the blonde star – who is partnered with Anton du Beke – has admitted that a lot of what he says is really tongue-in-cheek and he’s actually “supportive.”
She explained: “I have to say, Eamonn is doing a lot of this in tongue-in-cheek – he’s so supportive. He’s just there, asking me what I need and so he booked Sunday lunch. He has a gin and tonic and a bowl of ice for my feet, so he’s been very supportive. Not much time for love. Not time for that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Louise Thompson has insisted she will never air her wedding on ‘Made in Chelsea’.
The 27-year-old reality star, who has been dating boyfriend Ryan Libbey since 2015, has admitted she thinks her and her beau will be “together forever”, and though she has hinted the couple will tie the knot she vows not to do what Heidi and Spencer Pratt did and broadcast their marriage in an episode of the E4 show.
Speaking to The Sun Online about her love life, the brunette beauty said: “I think we will be together forever, I don’t think we will break up. We work well together, even though we do argue.
“I’m not doing a Heidi and Spencer [Pratt] and getting married on ‘The Hills.'”
However, the television personality – who previously dated Alik Alfus from the reality show, as well as co-star Jamie Laing and former colleague Spencer Pratt – has revealed she could end up eating her words as she often ends up doing the actions she has insisted she would never do.
She added: “But then again, I’ve said no to so many things and always ended up doing them, in fact there are so many things I said I wouldn’t do and I’ve been completely wrong, so who knows!”
Louise recently set tongues wagging her and her personal trainer beau’s relationship was on the rocks as she posted a cryptic message on Twitter.
She tweeted: “You learn more about someone at the end of a relationship than at the beginning. FACT. (sic).”
But Louise has been left feeling highly embarrassed by the post as it “bummed” Ryan, although she has insisted the message had nothing to do with her own love life.
She explained: “That wasn’t actually to do with him and I feel like such an idiot, it’s embarrassing!
“I basically read that quote somewhere and it made me really reflective about my past and it’s true, the way someone behaves when they break up really does show a lot about their character.
“I’d been talking about the beginning of relationships on ‘Made In Chelsea’ as well as there are a lot of people going through break-ups, and it’s true, at the beginning of a relationship is a con.
“You’re making them think you’re this perfect person, you’re basically an actor and then the truth comes out.
“So I basically tweeted that and I didn’t really think about it, I just thought it was a relatable thing.
“Then Ryan is suddenly like, ‘Oh my God, everyone’s asking if we’re together and if we’re OK.’
“But no we’re fine. He got really bummed out as he thought I wanted people to think I was single.
“But we’re all good.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Georgia May Foote’s ‘Coronation Street’ character is to be killed off.
The 26-year-old actress portrayed Katy Armstrong in the soap for five years before leaving in 2015 to appear on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, and while the door was left open for her return, it is set to be slammed shut as her alter-ego will meet her maker off-screen.
A TV source told The Sun newspaper: “As Katy, Georgia was really popular with Corrie fans and had some big storylines. But bosses have clearly decided that she has no future in the soap, and have ruled out a return by killing her off.
“You might have thought they would show such a well-known character being written out on screen but that wasn’t to be.”
‘Corrie’ viewers will hear the tragic news about Katy’s demise when Sinead Tinker (Katie McGlynn) delivers the devastating news to Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) that his ex and mother of his son Joseph has died in a car crash.
Chesney is in hospital himself after recovering from an infection, but he will discharge himself upon being told about Katy’s passing.
In April, former ‘Grange Hill’ star Georgia admitted she “doesn’t have time” to watch ‘Coronation Street’ anymore.
She said: “I don’t have time to watch any soaps at the moment. Hopefully when my schedule slows down I can tune in.
“I’m back being a working actress – auditioning and rehearsing. I know it’s annoying to say but there are lots of things in the pipeline that I can’t talk about yet! The past two years have been the busiest of my life so it’s great to be able to catch my breath.”
After finishing second on ‘Strictly’ in 2015, Georgia bagged a role in the theatre productions of ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ and ‘The Rocky Horror Show’.
