OHMYGOSSIP — Lorraine Kelly is to host a new BBC game show.
The 57-year-old daytime presenter will work alongside comedian Rob Beckett on the forthcoming series ‘Wedding Day Winners’, which is expected to hit television screens early next year, as they aim to give couples the wedding of their dreams.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Lorraine did a great job [during the live pilot] and BBC bosses had no doubt once they’d seen her in action, she was a natural at hosting the show. She will line up alongside Rob who will inject a bit of added humour into the show, as they try to give a lucky couple a really special wedding day.”
The series will see two couples compete against each other in a series of challenges in a bid to nab a series of prizes for their big day – including an idyllic honeymoon.
Not much else is known about the show but bosses are hoping it’ll slot nicely into the Saturday-night schedule as it’s expected to be a big family hit.
The insider explained: “Bosses hope it will fill a gap in the Saturday-night schedule. They think it will be a good, old-fashioned, family-oriented hit.”
‘Wedding Day Winner’ will take the place of ‘Pitch Battle’, which aired on the BBC on Saturday nights, after the broadcaster decided to axe it following a flop in ratings.
A source said recently: “It just didn’t work from the word go and BBC bosses have decided to put it out of its misery after just one series.
“They have trialled some other formats and will replace it with one of those. It’s sadly another failed notch for Mel post-‘Bake Off’, as viewers just never really got on board with it. Bosses think they could bring it back at some point, but it seems very unlikely.”
The show was based on the US movie ‘Pitch Perfect’ and saw groups go head-to-head in acapella riff offs, while singer Kelis and choirmaster Gareth Malone judged them on their vocals with the help of guests Chaka Khan, Seal and Nick Jonas.
A representative said: “We are proud of ‘Pitch Battle’ and would like to thank everyone involved in the show but we sometimes have to make difficult decisions in order to make room for new shows so it will not be returning to BBC One next year.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Davis has reportedly been dropped by her music producers.
The 24-year-old actress was hoping to launch a solo pop career later this year but she’s been dealt yet another blow as the people who were helping her put together some tracks for her comeback have decided to cut ties with the brunette beauty.
A source told The Sun Online: “Stephanie has received yet another devastating blow. Music producers she was working with have decided to go their separate ways.
“She was hoping for big things and it just never happened. A lot of things were promised but the material and voice just wasn’t there.”
And, to rub salt in the wound, the former ‘Hollyoaks’ star – who shot to fame when she auditioned for Dorothy in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Over the Rainbow’ – has been forced to watch her ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ co-star Megan McKenna storm into the iTunes Chart, claiming Number 1 and 2, with her new singles ‘High Heeled Shoes’ and ‘Far Cry From Love’ following her show ‘There’s Something About Megan’.
The insider explained: “After seeing Megan McKenna reach the massive success with her latest ITVBe programme [‘There’s Something About Megan’] and her position in the charts recently, to say Steph is feeling deflated is an understatement.”
However, Stephanie – who desperately wants to be a pop star – is trying not to let the situation get to her and is determined to focus on her nine-month-old son Caben-Albi.
The source added to the publication: “She [Stephanie] is concentrating on spending as much quality time with Caben as she can. Right now, her main job is being a mum to him, but of course she’s gutted than her pop career isn’t moving forward right now. “It’s hard to see Megan have so much success – that could have been Steph.”
Stephanie kicked off her comeback earlier this year when she released her dance track ‘Missin” on Soundcloud, but she was forced to put things on a back burner after she became embroiled in a court case with her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell.
She’s slowly but surely trying to get her life back on track after the 28-year-old Irish hunk, with whom she has Caben, was found guilty of assaulting her last month.

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul O’Grady was devastated his best friend Cilla Black missed out on his wedding.
The ‘Blind Date’ host married his partner Andre Portasio – who he has been with for 11 years – in a secret ceremony at The Goring Hotel in London last month in front of their close friends and family members but, although it was the happiest day of his life, he “deeply missed” his late pal, who sadly died in 2015, though he knew she would be happy for them.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: “She would be over the moon. It was just such a shame she wasn’t there. She wouldn’t have sung. She would never sing in public. If anyone said, ‘Cilla, give us a song’, she’d say, ‘I can’t, me voice is bad, but Paul will’. She wouldn’t get up at a wedding. She never used to sing in the shower or round the house.”
Although the pair have been together over a decade, Paul, 62, has admitted he never thought about getting hitched until his friend Julian Clary put the idea in his head.
He explained: “Julian put the seed in my head. He said, ‘I’ve got married. You should’. And he’s right, then you protect your partner. If anything happens to me, he is protected. It makes sense. Married life is the same as before. We have known each other so long. Nothing has changed, really. And it’s nice. I like saying I’m married – better than saying I’m a divorcee, which I was before. You feel more committed. You have made a vow, you have to stick to it. But we still fight like cat and dog.”
Paul was previously married to Portuguese model Teresa Fernandez from 1977 to 2005.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Pitch Battle’ has been axed.
The singing competition – fronted by former ‘Great British Bake Off’ presenter Mel Giedroyc – has reportedly been given the chop indefinitely by the BBC after it failed to pull in enough viewers when the first series hit screens earlier this year.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “It just didn’t work from the word go and BBC bosses have decided to put it out of its misery after just one series.
“They have trialled some other formats and will replace it with one of those. It’s sadly another failed notch for Mel post-‘Bake Off’, as viewers just never really got on board with it. Bosses think they could bring it back at some point, but it seems very unlikely.”
The show was based on the US movie ‘Pitch Perfect’ and saw groups go head-to-head in acapella riff offs, while singer Kelis and choirmaster Gareth Malone judged them on their vocals with the help of guests Chaka Khan, Seal and Nick Jonas.
However, a spokesperson has claimed the BBC were proud of the format but have decided to pull the plug on a second series in order to make “room” for other shows.
A representative said: “We are proud of ‘Pitch Battle’ and would like to thank everyone involved in the show but we sometimes have to make difficult decisions in order to make room for new shows so it will not be returning to BBC One next year.”
And ‘Pitch Battle’ isn’t the only series the broadcaster have decided to ditch as Gary Barlow’s ‘Let It Shine’, which was also fronted by Mel, has also been dropped.
A source said previously: “The show was a huge success in many ways but the concept for a second series just wasn’t quite there yet. The first series was a project that had been worked on for years before coming to fruition.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Susanna Reid has deleted social media apps from her phone because of the abuse she’s received.
The ‘Good Morning Britain’ host has revealed she sometimes removes apps like Twitter from her handset for a few hours due to the vile criticism she’s been subjected to.
Susanna shared: “If I get something nasty on social media I just delete it for a couple of hours and go back later.”
The popular TV host made the confession in response to news that Labour MP Diane Abbott received almost half of all recorded abuse on social media directed at politicians prior to the last UK General Election.
Meanwhile, Susanna’s outspoken co-host Piers Morgan claimed the presenter was in a “bad mood” earlier this week because her beloved soccer team, Crystal Palace, has endured a miserable start to the new season.
Piers said: “I know why you’re in a bad mood by the way.
“You’re in a bad mood because Crystal Palace had the worst start to the Premier League of any football league in history and she’s really cheesed off about it.
“You’ve been simmering like a little volcano all morning.”
But Susanna was quick to rubbish her co-host’s comments, insisting she was in a perfectly good mood.
The brunette beauty explained: “I’m not in a bad mood, I’m in a very good mood.”
Piers, typically, didn’t agree with the ‘Good Morning Britain’ star, telling her: “You are, you filthy little…”

OHMYGOSSIP — Denis Villeneuve has created a limited-edition whisky for ‘Blade Runner 2049’.
The 49-year-old filmmaker has helmed the sequel to Sir Ridley Scott’s cult classic and now he has joined forces with Johnnie Walker whisky to create ‘Johnnie Walker Black Label The Director’s Cut’.
Johnnie Walker Black Label appeared in the original ‘Blade Runner’ movie 35 years ago as a prop of the future.
Villeneuve said: “Like many fans, I remember the Johnnie Walker bottle from the first film, so it was a unique privilege to collaborate with Johnnie Walker on designing a totally original, custom bottle for the new movie.
“It was also a once-in-a-lifetime experience to help create the limited-edition Director’s Cut blend, which perfectly captures the complex mysterious world of ‘Blade Runner 2049’.”
Johnnie Walker Master Blender Jim Beveridge said: “What we have created in Johnnie Walker Black Label The Director’s Cut is something really special that fans will be able to relate to and whisky drinkers will love.
“I was truly inspired by Villeneuve’s artistic vision for ‘Blade Runner 2049’ and how it could come to life in this new blend.”
Fans will see the bottle on screen when ‘Blade Runner 2049’ – Harrison Ford reprise his role as Rick Deckard alongside a star-studded cast including Ryan Gosling and Jared Leto – is released as it will be a part of the movie.
There are just 2,000 bottles of the limited-edition whiskey available in the UK and they are now available for pre-order on Amazon, before national release on 25th September.
Johnny Walker Black Label The Director’s Cut will cost £80 per bottle.

OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Ratajkowski’s childhood helped her get into acting.
The 26-year-old actress has starred in a number of Hollywood movies, including 2014 film ‘Gone Girl’, in which she starred alongside Ben Affleck, but claimed she got into the profession because she is an only child so just had her “parents to play with” during her younger years and used to “perform” to her mother and father.
Speaking to Stylist magazine, Ratajkowski said: “I remember being on the second floor of a West End theatre watching ‘Les Misérables’ through the balcony.
“Being an only child, I only had my parents to play with, and the best way for me to do that was to perform for them.
“That was a huge part of why I wanted to become an actress. ‘Cats’ was the coolest thing to me, ever.”
The ‘We Are Your Friends’ star also feels she hasn’t got all the roles she wanted in her career because her “boobs are too big”.
She recently said: “There’s this thing that happens to me, ‘Oh, she’s too sexy.’ It’s like an anti-woman thing, that people don’t want to work with me because my boobs are too big.
“What’s wrong with boobs? They’re a beautiful feminine thing that needs to be celebrated. Like, who cares? They are great big, they are great small. Why should that be an issue?”
While her dream was to be an actress, Ratajkowski is fussy when it comes to roles and admitted she has turned down a lot of films because she doesn’t want to be in a “big studio movie” which only really requires her to look hot in a bikini.
She added: “I am way more interested in working with unexpected and cool directors on interesting projects than being in this big studio movie where you’re in a bikini.
“I turn down a lot of movies, but I have to fight for the ones that I really want.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Taylor auditioned eight times for ‘The Dark Tower’.
The 16-year-old actor – best known for playing Tom Foster in the his BBC TV series ‘Doctor Foster’ – landed a role opposite Idris Elba and Matthew McConnaughey in the Stephen King big screen adaptation, but wasn’t sure he would get the part because he had to try out so many times.
Speaking to the i newspaper, the actor said: “I did eight auditions. I got flown to LA to meet Idris Elba and the director. I kind of thought, ‘What the hell am I doing?’ at that point.
“I heard they looked through a lot of different people. At one point I think they were going to go and do a street-casting in New York, so the fact that I got it was even more amazing.
“It was a huge deal – they picked an English actor.”
Taylor has kept in touch with the two Hollywood actors, and recalled the first time he met McConnaughey the actor was still in his character as Walter/The Man in Black, the villain of the movie.
He said: “When I first met Matthew he invited me to his trailer. He was very much in his character, because he was playing an evil character so he had to stay in the zone.
“He told me how he prepares for roles, and how he gets his best performances. It wasn’t method acting but he just had to stay in the zone.
“Idris is a good man. At the end of the day they’re both just normal people. There’s nothing superhuman about them.”
Taylor has also admitted that while filming ‘The Dark Tower he fell behind studying for his GCSEs
He said: “I did fall a bit behind, at the beginning of Year 11. I was revising with my friends, and then I started doing a film, and I had fallen so far behind that I thought I couldn’t be bothered and it wasn’t worth doing it again.
“But a few months later, when it was time to really revise, I pulled it back and I actually did surprisingly well.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Billie Lourd almost landed the role of Rey in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’.
The 25-year-old actress – the daughter of the late ‘Star Wars’ legend Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia – starred as Lt. Kaydel Ko Connix alongside her mother in the seventh installment of the sci-fi franchise, but could have portrayed a bigger part.
Speaking on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ on Tuesday (12.09.17), Lourd said: “J.J Abrams called me to come in for ‘Star Wars’ because he couldn’t find someone for the lead.
“He ended up finding Daisy Ridley, who’s an incredible actress. I was super excited.
“I didn’t know what was going to happen and ended up going and fell in love with it.”
Rey was first introduced in ‘The Force Awakens’ and is a mysterious orphan who is able to use the Force, but her parentage is a subject of mystery.
Lourd is set to reprise her role in ‘The Last Jedi’ alongside her mother, who will make a posthumous appearance as Princess Leia in the upcoming film after passing away in December aged 60.
John Boyega, who stars as former Stormtrooper Finn, revealed in August that the movie pays homage to the star.
Speaking to ABC News, the 25-year-old actor said: “We really enjoyed each other’s company. I was in Nigeria when we found out [about her death]. It was a strange, strange feeling. I felt like everyone in the cast went silent for a bit after that … [But] this movie, it sends her off in an amazing, amazing way.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Guy Ritchie’s live-action remake of ‘Aladdin’ has landed a 2019 release date.
The new movie hadn’t been given a drop date but following a change of directors for ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’, the live-action reboot of Disney’s classic is slated to take its place on May 24, 2019.
‘Star Wars: Episode IX’ was originally supposed to be released on that day but has been postponed for seven months after Colin Trevorrow left the movie and was replaced by J.J Abrams.
The remake of ‘Aladdin’ has an impressive cast including Will Smith as The Genie, Mena Massoud as Aladdin, Naomi Scott as Princess Jasmine, and Marwan Kanzari as the villain Jafar.
The cast also includes ‘Homeland’ star Numan Acar who is reportedly set to play Hakim – head of the guards and right-hand man to Jafar.
Former ‘Saturday Night Live’ star Nasim Pedrad has been chosen to play new character Mara, a handmaiden and friend to Jasmine.
‘Charlie and The Chocolate Factory’ writer John August has penned the script for the musical movie, which is believed to be non-linear in its structure, something that is a hallmark of Ritchie’s early work on movies like ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ and ‘Snatch’.
The story is based on the Middle Eastern folk tale of Aladdin, who is granted three wishes by a genie who is captive inside a magic lamp.
The 1992 original animated feature – which saw the late, great Robin Williams voice The Genie – won two Oscars, Best Music and Original Song for ‘A Whole New World’.
‘Aladdin’ has also been turned into a hit stage show playing at theatres all over the world.
The movie is just one of the many films that Disney are rebooting, with new versions of ‘Dumbo’, ‘Mulan’, ‘Peter Pan’, ‘The Lion King’, ‘Pocahontas’ and ‘The Little Mermaid’ also in the works.

OHMYGOSSIP — Mark Ruffalo has praised his female co-stars in ‘Thor: Ragnarok’.
The 49-year-old actor has starred as Bruce Banner/The Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since ‘The Avengers’ and is reprising his role in the third ‘Thor’ movie alongside Chris Hemsworth as the titular character.
‘Thor: Ragnarok’ marks the first time the MCU will feature a lead female villain, Hela – played by Cate Blanchett and the film also features another strong-female Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson) and Ruffalo has nothing but praise for his co-stars.
He said: “It’s great that we have Blanchett and Thompson, these two amazing, powerful, strong, beautiful, intelligent women, playing these two important, integral characters in this movie.
“We have Hela, played by Blanchett. She has all the power, all the strength, all the talent of any of the other gods, but with all the rage.
“She’s angry, and she wants to come back and take what she feels is rightfully hers. Except that she’s been pushed so far into the darkness that she’s become dark. She’s now the manifestation of death. Then you have Valkyrie, played by Thompson. She is another female presence who didn’t feel welcome. She’s a powerhouse and a brilliant fighter. She’s as equally as powerful as Thor. She’s a warrior. Valkyrie is one of the people who ended up banishing Hela from Asgard.
“But she’s also lost faith in the patriarchy and the elite power structure.”
Director Taika Waititi recently teased there will be a new-look Thor in the latest film and revealed he is to be “grubbier” than previously.
Taika shared: “He’s a lot grubbier. I think everyone’s a bit too shiny and clean in the other films. I love heroes that really go through ordeals and then come out the other end completely changed. They come out the other side and they’ve been through the ringer.
“We do a lot to this character in the film. A lot of people want to see Ragnarok and know what it means; but, to me, Ragnarok means stripping down the establishment and then building it up in a new way. Ragnarok is what we’re doing to the character and to the franchise and to the story.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Neeson has retired from thriller films.
The 65-year-old actor may have impressed with his role in the 2008 hit ‘Taken’, in which he played a former government operative trying to reconnect with his daughter, and have a string of successful movies under his belt, but he has decided to step away from playing an action hero – despite bosses approaching him with mega deals.
Speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival, he said: “The thrillers, that was all a pure accident. They’re still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff. I’m like, ‘Guy’s I’m sixty-f***ing-five.’ Audiences are eventually going to go, ‘Come on.’ ”
However, fans shouldn’t be too disappointed as Neeson has two revenge thrillers ‘Hard Powder’ and ‘The Commuter’ coming up that he’s already shot.
He said: “I’ve shot one that’s going to come out in January sometime. There might be another. That’s it. But not ‘Taken,’ none of that franchise stuff.”
And it’s not just Neeson who has been thinking longer and harder about what films he takes on as Colin Firth is adamant he’d never transition into action movies because he doesn’t think he’d make a “believable” hero.
He said: “After the first [‘Kingsman’], there were some offers like that. But I realised very quickly you’ve got to get the context right – with someone like me, anyway.
“I’m not just a guy who’s believable if I showed up in just any action context and started doing roundhouse kicks. It worked because it was implausible, and the humour was pitched right.
“There’s just enough of a send-up for people to be able to accept it. If I tried to go in as a badass on an earnest basis, I’m not going to get away with it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Eddie Izzard wants to direct movies.
The comedian-and-actor is currently starring in Stephen Frears’ new movie ‘Victoria & Abdul’ alongside Dame Judi Dench and Izzard has now revealed he would like to step behind the camera but and is ready to “fall” on his face a “few times”.
Speaking to Den of Geek, the 55-year-old star said: “Not the first one, maybe the second, but yes, I think I have to. I think that’s what I have to do. I did direct a couple at university, and I didn’t like what I did, but I think I have to play the part and do some – I need to get a review that says, ‘Why is he trying to be a so-so director when he’s a brilliant actor?’ I need to do that one. I need to get to that place. I think I’ll probably fall on my face a few times.”
Izzard stars as Queen Victoria’s son Bertie – who became King Edward VII – in the new comedy/drama and revealed there was a deal of preparation getting into the role.
He said: “Yes, there’s a deal. I’ve never measured it, say, this role is that, you just do what you feel you need to get in. Also, sometimes coming into a role there might be a different length of time to prepare, but the more you – I have noticed a reluctance in earlier years to know exactly where to start with research. Maybe it’s laziness or lack of confidence about which way to go into it.
“The obvious thing that came into my head, or that I realised, was the better you researched it – the better you are into the character before you land on the set, the easier it’s going to be.
“You’re just going to be fully formed, I mean, obviously Daniel Day-Lewis does this to a huge extent and that’s what I want to do, that’s the direction I want to head to, so that when I’m there, getting to the set, I know where I am, rather than a week into it, getting the hang of it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jamie Foxx is preparing to play Mike Tyson in a biopic of the legendary boxer.
The 49-year-old actor – who previously won an Academy Award for his portrayal of music star Ray Charles – has agreed a deal to star as the New York-born icon, whose career was blighted by numerous controversies.
A source said: “Jamie went to a couple of sessions with his trainer in the gym for this movie.
“He looked quite good throwing a few jabs and crosses against the pads. But when he tried a bit of sparring, he didn’t fare so well.
“He took a couple of hooks and walked out. He knows if he wants to play Iron Mike then he needs to improve that side of his game.”
Legendary director Martin Scorsese is reportedly keen to helm the project, while Mike has also given Jamie a helping hand with his preparations.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: “Mike knows it is Jamie’s dream to play him and they have talked about gym work and how he could put him through his paces.
“The only thing is that if they go sparring and Mike connects, Jamie may never make any movie again.”
MIke, 51, is still the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history.
But he was also convicted of rape in 1992, and banned from the sport after biting a chunk out of his rival Evander Holyfield’s ear.
Looking forward to the new movie, Mike recently admitted: “A lot of people aren’t going to like the things I’ve done in my life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Barrie has strongly hinted ‘The Brittas Empire’ could return to TV screens soon.
The 57-year-old actor portrayed incompetent leisure centre boss Gordon Brittas in the popular 90s sitcom between 1991 and 1997, and he looks set to reprise his role after revealing a cast and crew reunion will take place next month, which he hopes will be a catalyst for an eighth series.
He said: “There’s a lot of momentum for this among the fans who mainly come and see me for ‘Red Dwarf’.
“We’re having a reunion on October 2 which is part of re-launching the Ringwood Recreation Centre, where we filmed it, and a lot of the cast are coming down, the original writers are coming down, and I think we might use that as a bit of a platform to try and do something.”
Chris was keen for ‘The Brittas Empire’ to return in 2015 and while the programme didn’t make it back on the small screen, he is hoping there is too much support for the series nowadays that producers simply cannot turn down the chance to bring it back to TV.
He told Metro: “They did nearly do it in 2015, but I think there’s so much momentum for it now’s the time.”
Chris’ comments come two years after he teased a return of the show – which attracted 10 million viewers at its peak – admitting the original writers, Andrew Norriss and Richard Fegen, were working on a new script.
Speaking in 2015, he said: “One of the original writers is behind it and, fingers crossed, it happens. The script stage is supposed to be done now.”
‘The Brittas Empire’ was known for its farce and surrealism, with a number of character deaths, unlike a traditional sitcom.
It saw Gordon, the hapless manager of Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre, often come up with unrealistic ideas, much to the annoyance of his staff.
Pippa Haywood played Chris’ on-screen wife Helen Brittas, while Michael Burns portrayed Gordon’s assistant Colin Weatherby, and Harriet Thorpe starred as emotional receptionist Carole.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Taylor sees Suranne Jones as a mother-figure.
The 16-year-old actor shot to fame as Tom Foster, the son of the unstable Gemma Foster (Suranne), in the hit BBC TV series ‘Doctor Foster’, and said when they got the script for the second season it was like a “family reunion” and his co-stars are “incredible people”.
Speaking to The I Paper, Tom said: “She’s just so nice. And Bertie Carvel (who plays his on-screen dad Simon). They’re incredible people and just so down to earth. When we found out we were doing a second series it was like a family reunion. It was so fun to see them all again, and then get back into our roles. The script was amazing. The new script is incredible, there is so much in it.”
While filming the second series, which aired again last week, Tom was in the middle of studying for his GCSEs and had to run upstairs for revision sessions with his tutor.
He said: “My tutor was waiting upstairs, it was up and down, up and down all day. We had three months to bust out five episodes, so it was pretty damn intense, but I think that paid off.”
When Tom was filming the first series, he didn’t really care what he was watching but now, he his older he admitted he understands what the series achieves.
He said: “We all get so angry with Simon when we’re watching.
“When I first saw myself on screen I didn’t really care what it was, I was just on TV and that was exciting enough.
“But now when I’m watching the second series I can really understand what I’m in and what it achieves.
“The tension throughout, you just can’t breathe. You just want Gemma to chill out, don’t you? Calm down.”
Although ‘Doctor Foster’ only has five episodes per series, Tom admitted he would love to do up to 10 series.
He said: “Imagine if we could do 10 series, that would be amazing.”
