OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Harding’s estranged father has accused ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ bosses of “cruelly exploiting” her for ratings.
The Girls Aloud singer has not spoken to her dad John Hardman for 17 years but he has been horrified to see her having several emotional meltdowns on the show.
He told the Daily Mirror: “Sarah’s being cruelly exploited for ratings purposes. It would be in her bests interests if ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ arranged for her to leave – her health is in jeopardy.
“I can’t bear to see my daughter break down and be forced to open her heart once more about her insecurities and vulnerabilities in front of cameras.
“It’s cruel TV.”
And, he called her appearance on the Channel 5 reality TV show “demeaning”.
He added: “With the amazing career that she’s already enjoyed, she doesn’t actually need to be in the house at all.
“She’s enjoyed huge success with Girls Aloud. It’s so demeaning for her.
“”I’ve forced myself to watch three episodes and am appalled at the use of her F and C words, the general level of obscenities uttered, and her overall humiliation.
“The crude language isn’t her as she was properly brought up. She comes from a professional background of doctors and legal experts, and even had an uncle in politics.
“But she’s now so traumatised on air that she’s crying out for real love.”
This week, viewers were shocked to see Sarah, 35, break down following arguments with actor Paul Danan , 39, and reality TV star Jemma Lucy , 29.

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe McFadden has joined the line-up for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The ’41-year-old actor is the latest celebrity to be confirmed for the BBC One dance show and Joe – who is best known for playing the role of Raffaello ‘Raf’ di Lucca in ‘Holby City’ – admitted he is “terrified”.
He said: “‘Strictly’ is one of the biggest, most entertaining shows on TV and being asked to be part of it is a once in a lifetime opportunity that I’m thrilled and terrified about in equal measures!”
Joe is the sixth contestant to be confirmed by the BBC for the upcoming series.
Earlier this week, Reverend Richard Coles and actress Gemma Atkinson revealed they had signed up to take part.
The Church of England priest – who is now vicar of Finedon in Northamptonshire – admitted he can’t wait to get stuck in to learning the routines – even though he struggles with pains in his knees.
He said: “Cometh the hour, cometh the overweight Vicar with arthritis in his knees.”
And Gemma revealed that rather than stressing over the fancy footwork, she was concerned about the costumes for the forthcoming series of the ballroom and latin show, which kicks off this autumn.
She said: “I dress like a 14-year-old boy in work, I am a trackies and converse kind of girl, but I have been wearing stilettos around my house. I don’t know how women do it all the time. I am not graceful, my mum says I’m like a baby elephant. I’m a big lass, I’m 5’9”. I’m going to challenge my inner feminine side. I will be graceful, once they give me a dancer, they are so big and strong and they are going to be amazing. I am going to embrace it, make the most of it, and enjoy it.”
The other celebrities on the line up so far include This Morning’s Ruth Lansgford, Mollie King and EastEnders’ Davood Ghadami but Aston Merrygold is rumoured to have also signed up for the show.

OHMYGOSSIP — Vicky Pattison “swapped self-respect for attention” while appearing on ‘Geordie Shore’.
The 29-year-old presenter tries not to have any regrets about the decisions she’s made but admits she’d never appear on another reality show as she’s embarrassed by some of her actions on the fly–on-the-wall MTV programme, which she quit in 2013.
She said: “I wouldn’t do another reality show. I’m a very open person but, at the same time, there are things I want to keep to myself and reality TV takes that off the table. I try not to have regrets, I know I would never be where I am without it and I will always be grateful for that.
“But there are some things I did on ‘Geordie Shore’ that I will never forgive myself for.
“I lost myself on that show – I became a character and got lost in the machine.
“I swapped my self-respect for attention for a while.”
The brunette beauty’s former boyfriend, Stephen Bear – who she dated for four months in 2015 – has recently found love with her ex-‘Geordie Shore’ castmate Charlotte Crosby and she has dismissed any suggestion of animosity over the relationship, insisting she is happy for the pair.
She said: “I don’t even know why people think I would mind. I can’t even remember going out with Bear to be honest, and I haven’t spoken to Charlotte for ages – but I wish them all the best.
“From what I know of them two, I think it’s real and genuine.”
And Vicky herself couldn’t be happier at the moment having rekindled her romance with businessman John Noble, whom she’s now engaged to after he recently popped the question.
She said: “I couldn’t be happier. Nothing I’ve ever experienced comes close to this feeling.
“We actually went out when I was 20 – I knew he was the right person but it was the wrong time.
“Now it works. He’s recycled, not shiny new. It’s the best thing I ever did.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Aston Merrygold has signed up for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The former JLS singer – who previously worked as a judge on Sky 1 talent show ‘Got to Dance’ – is reportedly set to compete on the BBC One dance show this year but people are worried that his previous experience will give him an edge over the other stars.
A source told The Sun: “It doesn’t have to be ballroom or Latin dancing experience to give someone an edge.
“Aston spent years being choreographed in JLS and that rhythm and ability to follow instructions puts him streets ahead of competitors.
“And if there was ever proof he knows a thing or two about dancing, he was a judge in a dance talent show.”
However, a ‘Strictly’ insider has insisted that Aston’s dance past will not give him an edge as he has no Latin or ballroom dancing experience.
The show source said: “The show is all about Latin and ballroom dancing. Other dance experience isn’t going to give anyone an advantage.”
Other celebrities on the line up so far include This Morning’s Ruth Lansgford, Mollie King, actress Gemma Atkinson, EastEnders’ Davood Ghadami and Reverend Richard Coles but more are expected to be announced over the coming weeks.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jess Wright wants to star in a sitcom.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star is keen to turn her talents to acting and she believes she has what it takes to land a part in a television series.
She said: “Television is definitely the way I want to go. It would be great to land something in a series or sitcom.
“I’ve been told I have potential, so I’ll stick with it and see where it goes.”
And it isn’t only in her professional life that the 31-year-old beauty – who previously dated Ricky Rayment for two years until 2014 and has subsequently been romantically linked with actors Bruno Langley and Luke Pasqualino and ‘The Apprentice’ star James Hill – has been setting goals as she’s also keen to find her “fairy-tale ending”, just like her brother Mark Wright and his wife Michelle Keegan.
She said: “Most girls want the fairy-tale ending don’t they? I can’t wait to eventually settle down and have a family.
“I’m not in a massive rush, although I probably should be because of my age.
“But I’m excited for when the right guy comes along. I see Mark and Michelle together – I do want to have that one day.”
Jess used to worry about getting older, but now she’s embracing it as she looks to other women in the public eye for inspiration.
She said: “I used to feel quite insecure about ageing, but there are so many amazing women, like Beyonce and Cheryl, who have hit 30 and are still beautiful and sexy.”
When she isn’t working, Jess loves hanging out with her famous sister-in-law.
She told Closer magazine: “Michelle is so much fun when we go out clubbing or for cocktails together. She’s a real girly girl like me, so we just gel.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Karthik Nagesan has been booted from ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The former ‘Apprentice’ contestant has found himself named as the second star to leave the Channel 5 reality show during Friday’s (11.08.17) broadcast of the show, shortly after ‘Mob Wives’ beauty Marissa Jade was sent packing earlier this week.
Since Thursday (10.08.17), fans of the show had been voting between Karthik and fellow housemates Sarah Harding, Chad Johnson, and Trisha Paytas as to who they wanted to save from eviction, and unfortunately for the budding entrepreneur, he proved to be the least popular with viewers.
Speaking to host Emma Willis after leaving the house, Karthik said: “These moments come few and far between, unless I become a real celebrity after this. I might you never know. I thought OK, soak it in and enjoy the experience.”
And the star admitted he was “surprised” when he found himself up for eviction, particularly when fellow contestant Jordan Davies voted to put his fate in the hands of the public, as Karthik thought they were friends.
Asked if he was shocked that housemates had nominated him, he said: “A little surprised yes. Especially surprised with Jordan. I thought Jordan and I get along really well together. Surprised with Chad as well.”
The businessman also claimed he felt like an outsider whilst in the house, as he hasn’t “experienced the limelight” as much as some of the other celebrity contestants.
He said: “Perhaps these people have more in common with each other, having experienced what they have being in the limelight a lot more than I have.”
Karthik also told Emma he would like to see ‘Gogglebox’ star Sandi Bogle walk away from the infamous house as the winner, which would see her bag £50,000 for her chosen charity.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeremy McConnell has been handed a 12-month suspended sentence.
The Irish hunk will have to serve 20 weeks in prison in a year’s time, carry out a Building Better Relationships course with the Probation Service, spend 15 days in rehab, complete 200 hours of unpaid work and cough up legal fees after he was found guilty of assaulting his now-ex-girlfriend Stephanie Davis in court earlier this week.
Judge Lloyd – who said she found it bizarre that Jeremy had described his behaviour in the trial as reasonable – said the 28-year-old star would have to pay £1,000 to the prosecution as well as £1,000 to Stephanie in compensation within 28 days.
Jeremy has also been banned from seeing or speaking to the former ‘Hollyoaks’ actress for three years and any contact regarding their seven-month-old son Caben Albi would have to be made via social services, solicitors or the family court.
Earlier this week, Stephanie appeared in court in Liverpool to give her version of events regarding a vicious scrap that broke out between them at her home on March 9.
The 24-year-old star broke down in tears in the witness stand as she recalled how Jeremy threw her around like a “rag doll” because he thought she was having an affair with her pregnant best friend and a fireman from across the road.
She said: “He was convinced I was having a lesbian affair with my pregnant friend, and the fireman across the road. He gets jealous. He was calling me a s**g, that I was fat and that no-one would ever want to touch me again.
“He put his thumb into the side of my gums, and that’s when I really started to panic. He was having, what I know and what Jeremy knows as, psychotic episodes.
“He took my phone off me, and I was trying to get it off him and he was ragging me everywhere. He bit the inside of my arm.”
Jeremy was expected to be sentenced on Monday (07.08.17) but it was delayed because the Probation Services in Dublin, Ireland, were unreachable.

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Dowding has been rushed to hospital.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star was in Marbella, Spain, filming for the summer special of the ITVBe show, which will air this month, when she fell violently ill after catching a sickness bug following her romantic holiday in Antigua with her boyfriend Chris Clark.
A source told The Sun Online: “Amber and Chris recently came back from Antigua but Amber had been really suffering and struggling to keep anything down.
“Production rushed her to hospital after seeing the state she was in during filming in Marbella and she was hospitalised for a few days, which was really worrying for Chris.
“Thankfully she’s on the mend now but is having to take tablets everyday to keep the sickness at bay.”
The blonde beauty hasn’t had much luck recently as she was left “shaking” last month after £900 was “stolen from her handbag” at her birthday party.
The alleged incident took place at the Café De Paris nightclub in London at the beginning of July where the 24-year-old star was seeing in her latest milestone.
A source close to the star said previously: “Amber is in floods of tears and is devastated that someone would have taken that money from her. Last night was supposed to be a fun night out with friends and it’s ended in an awful way.
“Amber can’t stop shaking and it’s worse because her boyfriend Chris Clark is away at the moment.”
Amber took to her Twitter account shortly afterwards to admit she was feeling “so emotional” following the unsavoury incident.
In a series of tweets, she wrote: “Feeling so emotional today “Don’t know how people sleep at night with such a guilty conscience.. (sic)”
The cash was said to have been given to Amber by a Café De Paris promoter and one pal claimed nothing else was taken from her bag except for an envelope with the money inside.
