OHMYGOSSIP — Helen Lederer is “aghast” at Sarah Harding’s antics inside the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.
The 62-year-old actress was shocked to discover that the former Girls Aloud star and Chad Johnson had enjoyed some heavy petting when they were on the show with her.
Helen said: “I’m amazed and aghast at how rapidly relationships are made.”
But Helen wished Sarah ad Chad well in the longer term.
Speaking to The Sun Online, she explained: “I’m shocked. I’m absolutely shocked.
“Good luck to them if that’s what works for them. I don’t begrudge them a second of their lust.”
Despite this, Helen has cast doubt on their burgeoning relationship, suggesting it isn’t anything more than lust.
The actress reflected: “From Chad’s point of view, he’s just done the one programme and hasn’t travelled out of America, and bless him, is quite baffled, and eats a lot of eggs and protein…
“I think he is clearly enamoured of this beautiful women who has chosen him.”
She suggested, too, that the duo might be forming a relationship in a bid to help their respective careers.
Helen said: “Sarah perhaps knows more than Chad in terms of the media.
“Now they’ve found each other and perhaps they can help each other through their experiences in an entrepreneurial, beneficial way – and I suppose with love.”
However, their relationship has not been well received by some of the other housemates, including actor Paul Danan.
He recently said: “Sarah getting laid in the toilets is not a good look.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Bruce Forsyth will be honoured with a special dance tribute on the opening ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ episode.
The TV legend sadly passed away aged 89 on Friday (18.08.17) and the professional dancers have already started rehearsing the “heartfelt” performance to celebrate his life and his 10 years co-hosting the programme.
Louise Rainbow, the show’s executive producer, told The Sun newspaper: “The thoughts of everyone here are still very much with Sir Bruce’s family.
“Of course, we will be paying tribute to Sir Bruce at our launch show and this will include a heartfelt performance from our Strictly professional dancers.
“We all want to celebrate him and all that he loved about the show. Sir Bruce was, and will always be, a huge part of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.”
Recent reports suggested a tribute might include “a Fred Astaire tap dancing spectacular” as well as a montage of his best bits co-presenting alongside Tess Daly.
An insider recently said: “Sir Bruce was greatly missed when he stepped down as the main co-host and only popped back to front the Children In Need and Christmas specials.
“There are lots of things in the mix and we will be liaising with Sir Bruce’s family as we want this to be our way of saying thank you to our favourite.”
Bruce is survived by his wife Lady Wilnelia Forsyth and his six children – daughters Debbie, Julie and Laura from his first marriage with Penny Calvert, Charlotte and Louisa with his second spouse Anthea Redfern and a son with Wilnelia – as well as nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Alexandra Burke, Jonnie Peacock and Debbie McGee were the final three contestants confirmed for this year’s ‘Strictly’ on Monday (21.08.17).
They will go up against Chizzy Akudolu, Charlotte Hawkins, Brian Conley, Susan Calman, Aston Merrygold, Simon Rimmer, Joe McFadden, Reverend Richard Coles, Gemma Atkinson, Ruth Langsford, Davood Ghadami and Mollie King in a bid to win the Glitterball Trophy.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Harding’s boyfriend is “heartbroken” after she got intimate with ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ housemate Chad Johnson.
The Girls Aloud singer had been quietly dating Aaron Lacey for two months before she entered the famous abode and he had even moved in with her, but she has grown increasingly close to the ‘Bachelor’ star and was caught on camera performing a sex act on him earlier this week, much to the devastation of the 33-year-old plasterer.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “He’s heartbroken. He fell for her.
“They were inseparable. He supposed her going on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ and watched nightly.
“He’s devastated she went behind his back.”
Aaron is now said to have moved out of Sarah’s house and is staying with his parents.
Sarah’s antics with Chad have been slammed by some of her former housemates.
Helen Lederer – who was evicted alongside Sandi Bogle on Tuesday (22.08.17) – admitted she was “aghast” at how quickly their romance has progressed.
She told The Sun Online: “I’m amazed and aghast at how rapidly relationships are made.
“I’m shocked. I’m absolutely shocked.
“Good luck to them if that’s what works for them. I don’t begrudge them a second of their lust.”
Despite this, Helen has cast doubt on their burgeoning relationship, suggesting it isn’t anything more than lust.
The actress reflected: “From Chad’s point of view, he’s just done the one programme and hasn’t travelled out of America, and bless him, is quite baffled, and eats a lot of eggs and protein…
“I think he is clearly enamoured of this beautiful women who has chosen him.”
And Paul Danan, who left the house last week, criticised the 35-year-old beauty for her conduct.
He recently said: “Sarah getting laid in the toilets is not a good look.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gaz Beadle is set to become a father for the first time.
The ‘Geordie Shore’ star has taken to Instagram to reveal him and his girlfriend Emma McVey are expecting their first child.
Gaz wrote on his official page: “I made this for you all to see the scan meet my little baby… it’s crazy but I am soooooo excited #gazthedad (sic)”
Whilst Emma posted on her own social media account: “So excited to share our news and begin our new adventure, we can’t wait to meet you little one … we are having a baby!!! @gazgshore (sic)”
The pair had split up earlier this year but got back together in June despite she previously claiming he had cheated on her.
A source said at the time: “Gaz has been working hard at getting back in Emma’s good books. Their split was tough on both of them. It was a big mess and with Gaz being stuck inside the Geordie Shore house – things only got worse.
“Since he’s come out the pair have been in touch and they’ve been working on getting back on track. It’s early days for them both but their mates think they could get back together in the future. Gaz lived the single life in the house though which isn’t going to be easy for Emma when it airs on TV. But they were strong in their relationship before and they could be again. Gaz wants them to start again as friends and go from there.”
Since the news broke, fans have been showering the pair with support on social media.
One wrote: “awwwwwwww your going to be a ace daddy congratulations to you both (sic)”
Whilst ‘Geordie Shore’s Kyle added: “Congratulations to @GazGShore and @Emma_mcvey_ absolutely over the moon for you both! #FirstGeordieBaby (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Love Island’s Jamie Jewitt joined former ‘Emmerdale’ star Roxanne Pallett to help clean up Blackpool beach on Tuesday (22.08.17).
The pair were helping with the the Sky Ocean Rescue campaign and showed their support by joining an early morning beach clean with the local council, before handing out refillable water bottles and giving tips to members of the public on how to reduce their own plastic use.
Sky launched the The Plastic Whale Tour recently, which sees a replica of the mammal made out of plastic travel through England, Wales and Scotland in a bid to educate people on the devastating effects leaving rubbish near the sea does each year.
The plastic has been picked up from beach cleans and local recycling plants and represents the same amount of plastic that pollutes the ocean every second leading to the deaths of many whales.
Jamie said: “It’s hard to get your head round the effect we are having on the ocean until you see the plastic whale and realise that is how much plastic is being dumped in the ocean every second.
“That is terrifying and why I’m here in Blackpool supporting the Sky Ocean Rescue campaign.
“I love swimming and enjoying the beauty of our oceans and we are all putting that at risk.
“It’s not hard to make a change, it’s simple; get a refillable bottle or don’t take a straw it really doesn’t take much but if we all do it it will make a difference.”
Roxanne, 34, was thrilled to be able to do her part as the beach side resort is where she used to visit with her family.
She added: “I grew up coming to Blackpool at the weekend and on holiday, so this beach has a very special place in my heart.
“This morning I took part in a beach clean with the amazing team from Blackpool Council, who are out here every day, and I saw first-hand the rubbish that’s left on 

the beach.
“The Plastic Whale is a great reminder of the amount of plastics that get dumped in our oceans every second and the action we all need to take to save our oceans. We all need to act now to prevent further damage.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lacey Turner wants to do ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’
The 29-year-old actress, who plays Stacey Fowler on the popular BBC soap ‘EastEnders’, has been approached by bosses of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in the past but has turned it down because she’d rather sign up to the creepy-crawly show.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, she said: “I have been asked to go on ‘Strictly’ but I’m rubbish at dancing and I don’t really have the guts. I’d do it if it wasn’t on telly. I do think it’s a great show to do, though, as you learn a new skill. Maybe one day, I’ll grow a pair and put the shoes on.
“I’d like to do ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’ but it’s just too far away from home and I’d be so hungry.”
The BBC dancing competition has seen a number of former and current ‘EastEnders’ stars taking part over the years but the forthcoming series will be extra special as Davood Ghadami – who plays handsome Kush Kazemi – has signed up.
Although scared to go on herself, Lacey said she is excited for Davood to take part.
She said: “I’m so excited for Dav. I think he’s going to be amazing. It’s a great thing for him to do and he’ll love the experience.
“Kellie Bright and Jake Wood, and also Matt Di Angelo told me it was such hard work, especially when you’re working on ‘EastEnders’.”
The actress also said she would never go on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ unlike former ‘EastEnders’ star Shaun Williamson, and Lacey said he was “brave” for doing it.
She said: “I wasn’t there when he was on the show so I don’t know him, but I think he’s a brave man. I couldn’t go on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’. I have terrible OCD so I’d be cleaning all the time – I’d be that boring I’d be out in the first week.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Prue Leith called Mary Berry for advice on working with Paul Hollywood.
The 77-year-old chef has taken over from the baking legend as a judge on ‘The Great British Bake Off’ and she revealed she consulted her on what it would be like alongside the only star to remain with the show when it moved from the BBC to Channel 4.
She told Heat magazine: “I did ring Mary up and my first question was, ‘Is he workable with?’ She said, ‘Yes actually. He knows his stuff.’ ”
Despite the changes to the show – including Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins replaced as hosts by Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig – Paul insists fans won’t be disappointed.
He said: “I’ve seen the first programme and you will not know the difference. The first thing I said was, ”Bake Off’ is back’…
“The bakers this year are the best we’ve ever had by a mile. This year’s final standard was exceptional and for us, it was the hardest judging I have ever been involved in.”
One things viewers will be glad to hear is the new presenters have embraced the cake-based puns and there’s still lots of innuendo in the exchanges between them and the judges.
Noel said: “I’m not really a pun man but you just find yourself coming out with them.
“I had to hold Sandi up when Paul said to Prue, ‘It’s a pretty nice crack’. I thought she was going to fall over.”
Noel is known for his flamboyant sense of style and he wants to reflect the show in his outfits.
He said: “I’m trying to throw in a few food-related shirts with nice colours without crossing the line into Timmy Mallet territory.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Gregson, Danny Dyer, John Middleton and Jamie Lomas are set to go head-to-head at this year’s Inside Soap Awards to be crowned the Best Actor of 2017.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actor – who plays ditsy cabbie Steve McDonald – has had a major storyline this year as his alter ego fathered his love child, lost his wife Michelle (Kym Marsh) and proposed to the mother of his son Leanne (Jane Danson), so it’s hardly surprising that he’s managed to worm his way into the list of nominations for the prestigious prize at the forthcoming ceremony in London on November 6.
But the 42-year-old star will have to fight off some stiff competition as Danny – who plays Mick Carter in ‘EastEnders’ – Emmerdale’s John, who portrayed late dementia sufferer Ashley Thomas, and Hollyoaks’ Jamie (Warren Fox) are hot on his heels.
Other people up for the gong in the Best Actor category include Coronation Street’s Connor McIntyre (Pat Phelan) and Jack P. Shepherd (David Platt), EastEnders’ Scott Maslen (Jack Branning) and Jake Wood (Max Branning), Emmerdale’s Ryan Hawley (Robert Sugden) and Danny Miller (Aaron Dingle), and Hollyoaks’ Gregory Finnegan (James Nightingale) and Kieron Richardson (Ste Hay).
Lacey Turner – who plays bipolar Stacey Fowler in ‘EastEnders’ – will no doubt be thrilled to learn that she’s made it into the Best Actress category once again.
But it’s not just the brunette beauty from the BBC One soap who has wiggled onto the nominations list as Diane Parish (Denise Fox) and Shona McGarty (Whitney Carter) are also in with the chance of nabbing the golden trophy this time around.
Coronation Street has done equally as well as Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt), Kym Marsh (Michelle Connor) and Catherine Tyldesley (Eva Price) are also in the noms.
Emmerdale’s Charlotte Bellamy (Laurel Thomas), Zoe Henry (Rhona Goskirk) and Gillian Kearney (Emma Barton) also made the list alongside Hollyoaks’ Jessica Fox (Nancy Osborne), Nadine Mulkerrin (Cleo McQueen) and Anna Passey (Sienna Blake).
Chris Harper – who has played child groomer Nathan Curtis in ‘Coronation Street’ – has unsurprisingly made it into the nominations for Best Bad Boy, while EastEnders’ Aaron Sidwell – who portrays compulsive liar Steven Beale – and Emmerdale’s Michael Parr (Ross Barton) are also hoping to get their hands on the impressive award.
Equally, Coronation Street’s Samia Longchambon (Maria Connor), EastEnders’ Lorna Fitzgerald (Abi Branning) and Emmerdale’s Emma Atkins (Charity Dingle) are among those up for the Best Bad Girl prize at this year’s glamorous awards ceremony.
The Best Newcomer trophy is also up for grabs and will be won by either Coronation Street’s Julia Goulding and Rob Mallard, EastEnders’ Lee Ryan and Danny Walters, Emmerdales’ Sally Dexter and Emily Head, or Hollyoaks’ Theo Graham and Lauren McQueen.
Meanwhile, as per every year, the four shows will go head-to-head to win Best Soap, while ‘Doctors’, ‘Home and Away’ and ‘Neighbours’ will fight it out for Best Daytime Soap.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Goodger wants a gastric band.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star is tired of fluctuating from a size 8 to a 14 and she thinks having surgery is the only way to keep her weight down for good because dieting makes her miserable.
She told Closer magazine: “When I was doing my fitness DVD, I was so strict and I saw results. But I’m a sociable person and it made me miserable to stay in all the time.
“I fell off the wagon and I’ve put weight back on. I reckon I’m a size 12 now and I’m scared I might get bigger. I don’t know what else to do. Go back to the gym, diet, and hate my life?
“I’ve spoken to friends about liposuction or a gastric band. I’d do anything like that if it meant I saw results fast.
“I’m sick of yo-yoing. I know I can have the best body. I’m curvy and go in and out in the right places but I just need that head start.
“I’ve tried everything else so surgery seems like the right option.”
Lauren finds it tricky to lose weight because she feels like she’d have to stop socialising to stick to a diet.
She said: “I love my nights out. I used to be guilty of staying in a bit because I didn’t want to be photographed. But that’s not me. I need to socialise.”
And the 30-year-old star admitted she’s been criticised for gaining weight by her jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison, who she has been dating since April 2016.
She said: “Joey always tells me I’m beautiful but he knew me when I was at my slimmest and a size 8.
“He says, ‘Why can’t you get back to that again?
“But he’s a man and doesn’t understand it’s harder for women to lose weight because we have more body fat.
“He’s supportive, but he’s a very fit, active person, even while in prison, so he thinks I should just do the same.”
