Bill Oddie turns down CBB due to bird fair clash

OHMYGOSSIP — Bill Oddie was offered a “humongous amount of money” to do this year’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ – but he turned it down because it clashed with a bird fair.
The 76-year-old TV presenter and renowned bird watcher admitted he was offered a large wad of cash to enter Channel 5’s infamous house earlier this month, but he had to reject the offer because he didn’t want to miss the Rutland bird fair.
Taking to his Twitter account, he said: “I was offered a humungous amount of money to do ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, but it clashed with THE BIRD FAIR at Rutland water this weekend (sic).”
And ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ isn’t the only reality TV show the comedian has turned down as he’s also snubbed the chance to do ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ twice.
He explained: “Reality shows I have been asked to be on – ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here (twice), ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and ‘The Voice’ (sic)”
Although fans are no doubt devastated that Bill didn’t join this year’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ line up, viewers have been kept on the edge of their seats over the past two weeks as the likes of Sarah Harding, Paul Danan and Jemma Lucy have clashed.
On Tuesday (15.08.17), the reality TV show saw ‘Ex on the Beach’ star Jordan Davies be the latest housemate to get evicted from the house.
Jordan – who is best known for being the former flame of ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ babe Megan McKenna – was the third housemate to get the boot from the Channel 5 reality show during a live episode, following the evictions of ‘Mob Wives’ star Marissa Jade and former ‘Apprentice’ hopeful Karthik Nagesan last week.

Claire Sweeney to join Benidorm

OHMYGOSSIP — Claire Sweeney has landed a temporarily role in ‘Benidorm’.
The former ‘Brookside’ actress – who was known for playing Lindsey Corkhill in the teen soap – has joined the ITV comedy as a no-non-sense airport ground worker, who clashes with the Dawson family when they try to get back on a flight to the UK.
And, although she’s excited about the role, the 46-year-old star should have no issues settling in as she’ll get to work with her former co-star Kate Fitzgerald, who portrayed Doreen Corkhill in ‘Brookside’, again as she plays man-eating granny Loretta Dawson.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “It’s pure coincidence they’ve ended up being on screen together but ‘Brookie’ fans will love it.”
The cast are currently in Spain filming series 10 of the comedy and it’s believed the next instalment will be better than ever as bosses have secured some exciting cameos – including Bobby Ball, who is one half of the comedy duo Cannon and Ball.
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ contestant had hoped to keep his appearance a secret until the show airs in 2018, but he was spotted filming in the Spanish resort by holidaymakers.
His character is said to be linked to the Dawson family.
The new series of the show will also see a guest appearance from former Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley, and programme bosses are keen to sign more big names up to mark a decade on screen.
A source said recently: “There are more names to come. We’re going all out to make this a series to remember.”
However, recent rumours have suggested that the forthcoming series may be the last as viewer figures have started to plummet and some of the cast members have left.

BBC accuses Channel 4 of ‘cynical’ move

By

OHMYGOSSIP — The BBC have accused their rival Channel 4 of “cynically” moving the debut date of the revamped ‘Great British Bake Off’ to deliberately clash with its new baking show.
The broadcaster’s new series ‘Big Family Cooking Showdown’ – presented by Nadiya Hussain – kicked off on Tuesday (15.08.17) at 8pm, but bosses have made the drastic decision to reschedule after they found out Channel 4, who poached the popular baking series in a mega-money deal last year, had chosen to air ‘GBBO’ at the same time.
A spokeswoman for the BBC told the Independent newspaper: “Channel 4’s decision to move ‘Bake Off’ from its long-term traditional Wednesday slot will be a surprise to many viewers who may see this as a cynical move. We never intended for our new cookery show to clash with theirs.
“There is room for both and we don’t, in this instance, see any public value in two public service broadcasters going head to head in this way. We will therefore move our show to Thursday in the best interest of viewers to avoid such a clash.”
However, Channel 4 are adamant the timings are merely a coincidence as they’d decided when the show would hit screens shortly after they snapped it up last year.
A spokesperson said: “We made the decision about where to schedule ‘The Great British Bake Off’ a few months after acquiring it and we haven’t moved it since then.
“It is in the original Tuesday evening slot where the majority of past series have played.”
The forthcoming series of ‘GBBO’ will debut on August 29 at 8pm and will see Paul Hollywood, who used to judge on the show when it was on the BBC, join forces with restaurateur Prue Leith and new hosts Sandi Toksvig and Noel Fielding.

Charlotte Crosby dumps Stephen Bear

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlotte Crosby has dumped Stephen Bear.
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star has called time on her romance with the ex-‘Celebrity Big Brother’ hunk but she insists she tried her “hardest” to make it work between them.
Taking to her Twitter account last night (16.08.17), she said: “Guttered that me and Stephen had to separate but I tried my hardest and it obvs wasn’t good enough (sic)”
The 27-year-old beauty – who attended Olivia Attwood’s In The Style launch in London on her own earlier on in the evening – later gave fans a more in depth explanation about why the pair had decided to call it quits.
She said in a video uploaded on her Snapchat account: “I love Stephen more than anything in the world but I don’t think I’m what he wants right now. So I can’t carry on trying to fight for a relationship where the other person isn’t fighting as hard.
“Maybe my reasons aren’t as validated as his things but I don’t know why I’d get so upset about someone who doesn’t care. I know you think you know my life but you don’t know the half of it because there’s a lot of things that a lot of people just don’t know.
“I love Stephen so much but when someone is so selfish to always put themselves in front and not even care about the little things that you ask them to do it just makes you question if they care at all. He’s been the best boyfriend to us and he’s been faithful and he gets us anything I want. I can’t put him down in that way.
“But I’m so upset today and I’ve been so upset for a little while and I just wish I could tell you lot why. I just don’t feel like he cares as much.”
Fans were unsurprisingly shocked by the revelation, as just 12 hours before Charlotte’s announcement, Stephen admitted he was looking forward to seeing the beauty again after work commitments pulled them apart and boasted that they were going to have lots of sex.
The pair got together earlier this year after they bonded while filming ‘Just Tattoo Of Us’ and have even moved in together and have been talking about getting married.

Sarah Harding’s post-CBB break

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Harding is jetting off to Los Angeles when she leaves the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.
The former Girls Aloud singer is currently holed up in the famous abode and once her time on the show comes to an end, she plans to step out of the spotlight and stay with her friend Lady Victoria Hervey, who hopes the break is what she needs following her dramatic stint on the programme.
Victoria said: “We spoke before she went into ‘CBB’ and she’s going to stay with me in LA when she’s out of the show.
“She’s a tough cookie and I’m just hoping she’ll bounce back and not let any of this get to her too much. Hopefully it’ll all settle down.”
Sarah – who checked into rehab in 2011 – has caused concern with her behaviour on the show, including a number of explosive rows and breaking down in tears and Victoria admits it has been “hard” seeing her friend so vulnerable.
She said: “Sarah and I spoke a lot before she went into the house. I know it was hard for her to do the show and it was really brave of her.
“‘CBB’ is seriously tough – the toughest of all the reality shows, I’d say.
“Some of it has been hard for me to watch because Sarah’s been really upset – I just wanted to hug her.
“I do want Sarah to win – but I don’t think I’d want her to be in the house for that long.”
And the 40-year-old socialite also blasted Paul Danan – who she appeared alongside on ‘Celebrity Love Island’ in 2006 – for his behaviour towards the 35-year-old singer.
She told Closer magazine: “I think Paul Danan is a complete a**ehole to be honest. He loved stirring up stuff when he was on ‘Love Island’ with me.
“I hate the way he’s victimising Sarah – he knows she’s fragile, so why is he upsetting her on purpose? I want her out of there!
“He’s completely two-faced – he was being nice to Sarah and then he said stuff about her. I don’t like him trying to pretend to be Sarah’s friend and then doing that to her. He’s being completely unfair.”

Love Island stars to appear on Strictly Come Dancing?

By
Helena-Reet Ennet

OHMYGOSSIP — BBC bosses are reportedly interested in having former ‘Love Island’ stars appear on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The corporation has previously been reluctant to have reality TV stars appear on one of its flagship programmes, but the BBC now appears to have performed a dramatic U-turn and is apparently open to casting the likes of Camilla Thurlow and Montana Brown in the future.
A source said: “Though they don’t want to admit it, everyone on the production team behind ‘Strictly’ is obsessed with ‘Love Island’.”
The corporation’s change of mind has also coincided with the increasing difficulty the BBC has experienced in getting genuine A-list talent on the programme.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: “The casting team have struggled to get big names involved and as ‘Love Island’ appeals to a range of audiences, it makes sense to get them involved.”
This comes shortly after it was claimed the BBC was struggling to attract talent for the new series of ‘Strictly’ because of the show’s so-called curse.
A number of celebrities have seen their relationships collapse because of their appearance on the show, and that has reportedly made A-listers reluctant to appear on the programme.
The new series will feature the likes of Mollie King and actress Gemma Atkinson.
But an insider recently said: “It’s a dire line-up and everyone knows it. Some of them are bound to only last weeks as no-one has ever heard of them.
“Even staff at the BBC have admitted they had to Google some of them. They’ve really struggled with big names this year.”

Tiffany Watson is a ‘fan’ of Amelia Lily

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Tiffany Watson is a “fan” of Amelia Lily.
The ‘Made in Chelsea’ beauty mutually agreed with her former boyfriend Sam Thompson to go on a break over the summer months, and while the blonde hunk has admitted to having a soft spot for his ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ housemate, the 23-year-old reality star doesn’t think it will go any further because she thinks the 22-year-old singer is a “nice girl” and “respectful” of her feelings.
Speaking to The Sun Online, the television personality said: “Amelia is a nice girl and she’s being respectful and I’m a fan of her.
“She knows Sam’s not over his last girlfriend.”
Although Sam and Amelia have opened up about their fondness for one another, Tiffany does not believe the pair will enter into a “showmance” because her ex-boyfriend dislikes “fake” people.
She explained: “And he’d never get into a showmance.
“He hates when people are being fake.”
And even though Sam and Tiffany are not in a relationship at the moment, the blonde-haired beauty has also been supporting her previous lover and is desperate for him to win the Channel 5 programme, although her “heart dropped” when Sam was in the bottom two with Jordan Davies earlier this week.
She said: “I want Sam to win, it’s nice he’s in there, for me.
“I think he could make it to the final. When I heard he was in the bottom two my heart dropped.”
Meanwhile, it seems Sam’s feelings for Amelia are real as he previously admitted he wants to take things further with the former ‘The X Factor’ contestant but he is “afraid” to do so in fear of “f**king something up”.
Speaking previously on the show, Sam said: “I’m so afraid of f**king something up.
“I see you as a possible part to my future.”

Kathryn Bigelow used court reports to develop Detroit script

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Kathryn Bigelow didn’t make ‘Detroit’ for “entertainment” purposes.
The 65-year-old filmmaker felt a huge “responsibility” to stay faithful to the story of the 1960s race riots in the US city and wanted to create a “dramatisation of true events” in order to educate and inform her audience.
Speaking at a press conference for the film at London hotel Claridge’s on Wednesday (16.08.17), Bigelow said: “I suppose I never thought about it as entertainment but rather as a dramatisation of true events.
“There was very little knowledge about what happened outside of Detroit. I had no knowledge of it myself.
“The script for a large part was partly formed from court documents and testimonies of people there at the time.
“We felt a responsibility to stay as faithful to the research as we can. I think we were all steep in archive footage that really dictated the look and feel of the film.”
‘Detroit’ follows the lives of black and white people during the 1960s riots and focuses on the murder of three black men in the Algiers Motel.
Many of the characters featured in the film are based on real people, including Melvin Dismukes (John Boyega) and Julie Hysell (Hannah Murray) and Bigelow revealed she met with them and credits them with being “hugely responsible” for the way the movie developed.
She said: “John and Hannah’s characters were actually people that we met with. Julie was on the set every day.
“They were hugely responsible for how the story unfolded.”
Will Poulter, who stars as violent police officer Krauss, said the script was “incredibly well researched” but they had to “dramatise” some events due to contaminated or lost evidence.
He said: “The script was incredibly well researched. Historical accuracy inherent in the writing.
“We wanted to give the upmost respect for accuracy and the truth. Of course, we had to dramatise where there aren’t the facts.
“Some of the evidence had been contaminated or lost. There was an emphasis shining light on the truth. A lot of the research was done for us.”

Casey Affleck doesn’t think his brother will be in The Batman

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Casey Affleck thinks his brother Ben will not star as the Caped Crusader in ‘The Batman’.
The 45-year-old actor first played the superhero in ‘Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice’ and will reprise the role in ‘Justice League’, but although Ben is then due to don the famous mask again in a standalone movie, his younger sibling believes the film will ultimately see someone else take on the iconic role.
Speaking to WEE! Sports Radio, Casey said: “I thought he was an OK Batman. No, he was great.
“He was great. He’s a hero, so he had something to channel and work with there. But he’s not gonna do that movie, I don’t think.”
When the show hosts said his comments were breaking news, Casey, 42, began to backtrack and insisted he had “make up” his claims.
He said: “Is that breaking news? Because I was just kind of making that up, I don’t know.”
Ben was first on board to write, direct and star in the standalone DC Extended Universe movie but stepped away from behind the camera to concentrate on giving the role of Batman the “passion” it deserves.
He was replaced by Matt Reeves, who recently teased that ‘The Batman’ will be like a film noir crime drama focusing on the superhero’s detective skills.
Reeves wants the latest adventures of the Caped Crusader to allow audiences to “see inside his head” and “his heart” and allow them to understand why he is known as ‘The World’s Greatest Detective’ in the DC Comics universe.
He said: “I think there’s a chance to do an almost noir-drive, detective version of Batman that is point of view driven in a very, very powerful way that is hopefully going to connect you to what’s going on inside of his head and inside of his heart.”
‘Justice League’ will be released this November and sees him put together a team of superheroes including Wonder Women, Cyborg, Aquaman and The Flash.
The ‘Batman’ is scheduled for release in 2018.

Sasha Lane cast as Alice in Hellboy reboot

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Sasha Lane has reportedly been cast as Alice Monaghan in the ‘Hellboy’ reboot.
The 21-year-old actress – who made a name for herself after making her acting debut in ‘American Honey’ – will take on the role of the Irish girl that the titular comic book superhero rescued as an infant, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The plot follows Hellboy as he battles with a medieval evil wizard who is hell-bent on destroying humankind.
David Harbour has already been cast as Hellboy and will be joined by Milla Jovovich, 41, as the Blood Queen and Ian McShane, 74, as Professor Broom, the scientist who adopts the titular demon child, in the Neil Marshall-helmed movie.
The part of Professor Broom was originally brought to life by the late John Hurt in the Ron Perlman starring-movies ‘Hellboy’ and ‘Hellboy 2: The Golden Army’.
The film is expected to start shooting this September.
The upcoming project has been in the pipeline for some time, but the reboot is set to happen without original director Guillermo del Toro, who couldn’t agree with the studio’s vision for the movie.
Instead, Marshall – who worked on the likes of ‘The Descent’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ – is taking charge of the film.
Aron Coleite is working on the latest draft of a script by Andrew Cosby, Christopher Golden and ‘Hellboy’ creator Mike Mignola.
Originally titled as ‘Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen’, it was previously reported that the reboot will simply go by the name of ‘Hellboy’.
Unlike the original franchise by Guillermo del Toro – which was PG13 – this film will be R-rated, following in the footsteps of other successful R-rated movies including ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Logan’.

Tom Holland to play lead in Beneath a Scarlet Sky

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Holland is attached to take the lead role in ‘Beneath a Scarlet Sky’.
The 21-year-old actor will reunite with his ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ producer Amy Pascal on the project, after her company Pascal Pictures obtained the rights to adapt Mark Sullivan’s novel of the same name for the big screen.
The book tells the story of a real life WWII hero, Pino Lella, who lives a normal life in Italy but when the war starts, he joins an underground network helping hundreds of Jews escape to safety across the alps. He is forced to enlist with the German Army on his 18th birthday but is recruited as a spy when he lands a job as personal driver to one of Hitler’s top generals and the information he provides to Allied Intelligence is significant enough to affect the course of the battle.
Sullivan, an investigative journalist, heavily researched Lella’s story, but it was published as a novel rather than a biography because so many records had been destroyed. The war hero recently celebrated his 91st birthday and he lives in Milan, Italy.
Pascal and Rachel O’Connor will produce and Averie Huffine is at the project’s helm.
Tom has a busy period ahead of him as he will reprise his Spider-Man role in a sequel and is also attached to star in ‘Uncharted’, which is based on the videogame and is directed by Shawn Levy.
Meanwhile Pascal is working on ‘The Papers’ – the film adaptation of Liz Hannah’s novel ‘The Post’ which is based on the expose of the Pentagon Papers – with Steven Spielberg directing Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep.
She is producing alongside Kristie Macosko Krieger and Spielberg.

Chris Columbus proud of Gremlins 3 script

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Columbus is “really proud” of the script for ‘Gremlins 3’.
The ‘Harry Potter’ filmmaker helmed the first comedy horror back in 1984 but was absent for the 1990 sequel, however, Warner Bros. were confirmed to be working on a third instalment of the franchise, though it’s yet to be given a release date.
The 58-year-old director has teased that the plot is as “twisted and dark” as the first movie.
Speaking to Slashfilm, Columbus said: “I’m really proud of the script. It is as twisted and dark as anything, so we’ll see.
“It’s always a budgetary conversation when we’re going to shoot it.
“I wanted to go back to the really twisted sensibility of the first movie.
“I found that was a very easy place for me to fall back into and start writing again so hopefully we’ll see that movie soon.”
The original comedy horror movie was released in 1984 and starred Zach Galligan as Billy Peltzer and Phoebe Cates and Corey Feldman.
53-year-old Galligan said last year that Columbus was working “aggressively” on the script.
He said: “He has been aggressively working on a ‘Gremlins 3’ that takes place in present day. He tantalisingly says there will be some new characters and some old characters – I guess in the style of a ‘Force Awakens’ type sequel – One thing we know for sure is they have a writer on board.
“Warner Bros definitely wants it, Chris Columbus wants to do it because he’d like to undo the ‘Gremlins 2’ thing as he wasn’t thrilled with it and Steven Spielberg wants to do it I imagine – because he’s Spielberg – and why wouldn’t he want to do it.
“Once he’s found the right script he can attach his name and make a ton of money. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
‘Gremlins 2′ dropped in 1990 and told the story of the creatures’ return as they take over a media mogul’s building.

Deadpool 2 starts production two days after stuntwoman dies

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Deadpool 2’ has started production again two days after a stuntwoman passed away.
Joi ‘SJ’ Harris had been riding a motorcycle during a stunt on the set of the upcoming Marvel movie in Canada on Monday (14.08.17) morning when she crashed through the glass of the Shaw Tower’s ground-floor studio, after reportedly failing to apply the brakes on her vehicle.
The highly anticipated sequel stopped production immediately after the death of the first African-American female professional road racer but now Deadline report that filming has started again.
‘Deadpool’ star Ryan Reynolds – who plays the titular character and his alter-ego Wade Wilson – took to Twitter to confirm the tragic news, and offer his condolences to the stuntwoman’s family.
He wrote: “Today, we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming ‘Deadpool’. We’re heartbroken, shocked, and devastated… but recognize nothing can come close to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment. My heart pours out to them — along with each and every person she touched in this world. (sic)”
The stuntwoman was performing the motorcycle stunt as a double for Zazie Beets’ character and Deadline reports she was not wearing a helmet at the time.
Although the plot for ‘Deadpool 2′ is not widely known, the film will see the return of Stafan Kapicic as Colossus, Brianna Hilderbrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, as well as Morrena Baccarin who portrays Reynolds’ on-screen love interest.
Josh Brolin has a busy year ahead as he has been cast as mutant Cable in the production opposite Reynolds, as well as the evil villain Thanos in the upcoming ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.
‘Deadpool 2’ is directed by David Leitch and the sequel is slated to be released in June 2018.

Samuel L Jackson surprised by Black Panther omission

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Samuel L Jackson is surprised he doesn’t make an appearance in ‘Black Panther’.
The Hollywood star plays the part of Nick Fury in the Marvel movies, but has been omitted from ‘Avengers 3’, ‘Avengers 4’ and the Africa-set ‘Black Panther’ – which has seemingly annoyed the actor.
He told Yahoo: “I wasn’t in the ‘superhero argument’ movie [‘Captain America: Civil War’], I’m not in ‘Avengers 3 and 4’. They’re shooting them now, and they haven’t called me yet.
“They wouldn’t let me go to ‘Black Panther’-ville, so it’s kinda like how are you going to make a black Marvel movie and not let Nick Fury show up in it?”
This comes shortly after the 68-year-old star revealed he’s never worried about being the lead in a movie.
The veteran performer is among the best-known faces in the movie industry, but recently insisted his career choices have never been driven by ego, meaning he’s been happy to play small roles in high-profile films.
He shared: “I watched movies all my life. And I knew who character actors are. I always wanted to be those guys that move the story along in a way, or when you saw them, you knew a specific kind of thing was going to happen.”
Jackson cited his small role in the Eddie Murphy comedy ‘Coming To America’ as one example.
In the 1988 movie, he played a minimal role in which his character tried to rob a fast-food restaurant.
Jackson said: “When I did ‘Coming To America’ and I robbed MacDonald’s, I wanted that robber to be special, so I gave him a desperation that you wouldn’t normally have in a movie like that. You know?
“To be a foil for Eddie Murphy. [But] I had my own thing happening. You knew I needed that money. I wanted it. And if I didn’t get it, someone was gonna get hurt. You know?
“So, when you leave, and your scene is over, people are still talking, ‘Man, that robbery scene was off the chain!'”

Cate Blanchett in talks for House With a Clock in Its Walls

By
Helena-Reet Ennet

OHMYGOSSIP — Cate Blanchett is in talks to star in ‘The House With a Clock in Its Walls’.
The 48-year-old actress is said to be in early discussions about joining Jack Black in the forthcoming horror film, an adaptation of John Bellairs’ 1973 book of the same name, according to Variety.
Eli Roth is set to direct the motion picture, which will be produced by Brad Fischer and James Vanderbilt, alongside Eric Kripke, who is writing the script.
William Sherak, Tracey Nyberg, and Laeta Kalogridis are due to executive produce the project.
The book tells the story of a 10-year-old orphan, Lewis Barnavelt, who finds a hidden world in his uncle’s old house.
The abode used to be owned by a couple who practiced black magic and planned to bring the end of the world through a mysterious clock which doesn’t stop ticking.
Blanchett is due to portray Marvel’s first female on screen villain, Hela, in upcoming movie ‘Thor: Ragnarok’, and the star recently admitted she didn’t even know she was the first.
She said: “I thought, ‘Surely not … well, no actually that’s true.’
“There’s been many, many, many [female villains] in the comic books, but they’ve been a little tardy in bringing them to the screen, so hopefully there will be a lot more villainesses.”
But she didn’t hesitate in accepting the part after discovering her character is responsible for destroying Thor’s iconic hammer.
She said: “That had me at ‘hello’ actually. I thought that was really exciting that they were prepared to destroy Thor’s power in the first few minutes. It’s a nice entrance.”

Sarah Harding secretly sipping booze in ‘CBB’ house

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Harding has been hoarding bottles of wine and pinching her ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ housemates’ cigarettes.
Jordan Davies was evicted from the Channel 5 show’s famous abode on Tuesday night (15.08.17) and has claimed the former Girls Aloud singer had been downing booze secretly with her love interest Chad Johnson.
The former ‘Ex on the Beach’ star says that the 35-year-old beauty is a nice person, but as soon as she had alcohol she turned into a “nightmare” person.
Speaking to host Ryan Clark-Neal on ‘Big Brother’s Bit On The Side’ after being booted out of the house, Jordan said: “She’s lovely in the day, then she has a drink then she’s an absolute nightmare. Her and Chad were hiding bottles of wine, not looking after Derek (Acorah), Sandi (Bogle).
“Sarah never got Sandi a drink, Derek a drink, Helen (Lederer) a drink, then she was accusing me of hiding drinks, I was like are you taking the p***?
“She cannot handle it. She’s just an absolute nightmare and a horrible person.”
The 25-year-old hunk also called her fling with Chad fake and said she should think about the fact she is a role model.
He added: “She’s meant to be a role model but she’s getting p***ed, nicking fags; act your age!
“Also, this whole Chad Johnson thing is bulls***!”
Since the blonde beauty has been in the house she has raised eyebrows with her erratic behaviour.
One night she downed alcohol, pranced around in the pool in her bikini and then bit her fellow housemate Amelia Lily’s leg.
At the time, she sobbed: “I didn’t want to drink in here, for f***s sake! Now it’s all ruined.”
The ‘Jump’ hitmaker has previously opened up about her battle with alcohol addiction and how she believes it stemmed from a “toxic” relationship.
She said: “A lot of my issues were down to being in a toxic relationship.
“For me it stems completely from being hurt, six months before I was due to get married.
“It all just tumbled around me and I had to front everything and he f***ed off to Ibiza and I had nothing and I felt like I had lost my family and my friends that we had all built for five years. I felt like I had no-one left that I could turn to.
“I was very lonely, I had a few good select friends that helped save me from myself, which I am so grateful for.
” I’m very much a private person, so for me it’s quite overwhelming to do this.”
