Florence Pugh reveals Dune: Part Two filming location was ‘haunting’

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Florence Pugh says the ‘Dune: Part Two’ memorial space felt “haunting”.
One of the filming locations in Denis Villeneuve’s second film in his big-screen adaptation of the 1965 novels by Frank Herbert was the Brion Tomb in San Vito d’Altivole near Treviso, Italy, which is the burial ground of the Brion family, and Florence said there was an eerie atmosphere there.
Asked about it being the first time a movie has been allowed to film there, she told SFX magazine: “I didn’t break anything, thank god! It’s a huge privilege to work with crew members that are unbelievably dedicated to their craft, and I think especially on Dune, the attention to detail with locations and sets, it’s just mind-blowing – it really transports you every time you come to set. And that was my first day of shooting!
“We shot in that memorial space. It really is a very haunting space. There’s so many different pockets of the building, and pockets of the area, that completely transports you.”
The 28-year-old star – who plays Princess Irulan – admits it was a “pinch-me” moment working on the film, which has a star-studded ensemble cast, particularly the acting legend Charlotte Rampling, 78, who portrays Reverend Mother Mohiam.
She added: “Obviously it is exactly like the world of Dune. That was our first two days there and I was already kind of amazed that I was filming Dune, but I was also there with Charlotte Rampling…
“It’s one of those incredible “pinch me” moments when you walk onto a movie as large and as epic as this, and you’re in a space that has huge respect and huge power. It only kind of gets you into the gear that you need to be put in for a movie like this.”
The ‘Oppenheimer’ actress says the only “minuscule” complaint they had was how hot the weather was with their costumes, but it was all worth it.
Asked if there were any challenges filming, she said: “When you’re on a movie that matters so much to so many people, there really aren’t that many challenges. I’d say for everyone across the board, one of the biggest challenges when you’re doing something that you care so much about, and you’re wearing the clothes that we’re wearing, is always weather conditions. When you’re making something this epic, your complaint of being hot is so minuscule! Those are the little things but other than that, it’s a dream being on a job like this.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sharon Osbourne is being lined up to star in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The 71-year-old TV star could be set for a reunion with her ‘The X Factor’ co-star Louis Walsh in the ITV show after both stars were approached about taking part.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “A Landing Sharon is a huge coup for the series, especially as she has such a strong on-screen partnership with Louis.
“She isn’t afraid to say what’s on her mind and has a wealth of showbiz stories up her sleeves.
“She is guaranteed entertainment and sure to be a hit with viewers.”
Along with Sharon and Louis, former ‘This Morning’ presenter Fern Britton and ‘Love Island’s Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu have been approached.
And, Duchess Catherine’s controversial uncle Gary Goldsmith is also rumoured to be entering the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.
Gary – the younger brother of Duchess Catherine’s mother Carole Middleton – has reportedly signed a deal with ITV to appear on the show.
A source previously told The Sun newspaper: “Gary is champing at the bit to get on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
“He finalised the terms of his deal today and can’t wait to enter the house.”
Gary was reportedly in talks for ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ last year but bosses rejected him amid fears he could embarrass Catherine and her husband Prince William.
However, ITV have changed their minds and are now excited to feature Gary on ‘CBB’.
The source said: “The ‘CBB’ team love him because of his link to Kate and the fact that he’s confident and loud and won’t hold back.
“He’s made it clear he will talk about everything and anything, and he’s pretty outspoken when it comes to Harry and Meghan, [The Duke and Duchess of Sussex].
“Gary also holds a deep affection for Kate and Wills and will be able to give a fascinating insight into what it’s really like being related to the future King and Queen.
“He could be TV gold and ITV knows it. The deal he signed is for good money.”

Oti Mabuse praises NHS for support with premature baby

OHMYGOSSIP — Oti Mabuse received therapy after the traumatic birth of her first child.
The 33-year-old ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star and her husband Marius Lepure welcomed their daughter two months early at the end of last year.
The baby was born with an infection after Oti developed sepsis and spent six weeks in neonatal intensive care at University College London Hospital and Oti has praised the NHS for the support her family received.
She told The Sun on Sunday: “The NHS gave us a therapist so we had someone to come in and check on our wellbeing and mental health and talk to us.
“You don’t always have that as a new mum.
“It was helpful for someone to ask me, ‘How are you feeling? How are you dealing with these new emotions?’.
“My sepsis was discovered after the birth — it’s not something that was missed, so I just want to make that clear, as I’d read it misinterpreted like that a while ago.
“My daughter had an infection when she came out and the doctors gave her treatment.
“I didn’t have time to panic — we were just focused on her being better.
“I always felt she was in safe hands. It was about treating her the best way we could.
“She had to learn to breathe on her own properly, eat on her own, and that came with time.
“It’s incredible seeing the nurses and midwives in action, they attend to your baby when you’re not there.
“We went every day. I got on with it and I had a lot of support from my family and friends, keeping me positive.”
And, Oti revealed that seeing Marius as a dad has made her brought them even closer.
She said: “I am falling in love with him all over again. Seeing him standing there with a baby is so adorable. He always wanted to be a dad.
“Marius is home with me a lot. We try to fix our schedule so we are with her a lot.”

Joe Lycett blasts ‘comedically weak’ Ricky Gervais

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Lycett has blasted “comedically weak” Ricky Gervais.
The 35-year-old comedian hit out at Gervais, 62, for punching down by making fun of minorities in his own stand-up sets and says he has gotten complacent.
Joe told The News Agents podcast: “Somebody literally said to me a few months ago, ‘Oh it must be so hard being a comedian, don’t you miss being racist and homophobic,’ those were their actual words.
“And I was like, funnily enough, I don’t miss that really. I think we’ve just got more interesting as an industry and doing more interesting things.
“The key thing is, it’s not for everyone and if you don’t think it’s funny or don’t think it’s interesting, don’t watch it, that’s fine. But there is an audience for it.
“I would never say that Gervais shouldn’t do what he does, he can say whatever he wants, we live in a free society.
“What I think is perhaps disappointing about Gervais and the people like him that are doing this sort of ‘I’ll just say how it is’, and the last show he did, the real tragedy for me was that it was comedically weak.
“If you removed the Gervaisness of it, and you gave it to a new stand-up, they’d struggle in a club with the material he had. Anyone who gets a bit of telly can get a bit complacent, myself included.”
Joe added that it is a waste of Gervais’ “skill” to be punching down.
He said: “The thing about Gervais and people like him, who are doing material which is attacking trans people and wokeness, however they see it, is that they are very skilled.
“Gervais has done amazing, amazing, work, and what a waste of that skill to attack minorities. That’s how I feel about it.”

Christine McGuinness signs up for MasterChef

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Christine McGuinness has signed up for ‘Celebrity MasterChef’.
The former ‘Real Housewives of Cheshire’ star was nervous about cooking for judges Gregg Wallace and John Torode but is pleased she took on the challenge.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Christine was nervous to take part in Celebrity MasterChef as she was really stepping outside her comfort zone and was nervous to be judged.
“But she enjoyed the experience and is pleased she pushed herself.”
Meanwhile, Christine, 35, recently admitted the idea of going on a series of dates to find a new man, following her split from husband Paddy McGuinness, 50, is “petrifying” because she has “never really done it” before.
The documentary-maker told the Daily Star newspaper: “The thought of dating is actually my worst nightmare. I’ve just never really done it.
“When I met my husband, we were friends first. I think that helped, it worked because I never had that pressure of, ‘What do I wear? Where do I go? What is the food going to be like? Will I like the restaurant?’
“The idea of dating, for me, is petrifying.”
Christine – who was diagnosed with autism two years ago – confessed that a “typical date” poses many “sensory” issues, like talking to strangers and eating in unknown venues.
She is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: “It’s sensory for me. A typical date, from what my friends would say, is you go for dinner, or you might have some drinks.
“I don’t drink and I don’t really enjoy eating in different places with people that I don’t know. Once I’m comfortable with someone, that’s lovely.
“But I don’t know how I am supposed to get to that point.”

Eddie The Eagle exits Dancing on Ice

OHMYGOSSIP — Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards has been voted off ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The 60-year-old former ski jumper and his professional skating partner Vicky Ogden have left the ITV show, after they lost in the dreaded skate-off against Amber Davies and her pro partner Simon Proulx-Senecal.
The ‘Dancing on Ice’ judging panel were initially split on the result, until head judge Christopher Dean opted to send the former Olympian home.
Eddie previously rubbished suggestions that his sporting background would help him on ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The ski jumper acknowledged that he was a “really, really bad skater”.
Eddie – who competed for Great Britain at the Winter Olympics in 1988 – said: “There’s a lot of pressure now that everybody thinks I’m going to be a really, really good skater.
“I’m a really, really bad skater at the moment. It’s a completely different sport.
“When I ski I automatically get myself into a certain stance. That stance is not a good stance for skating, which is why I keep falling on my face, because I’m used to arching my back and going forwards.”
Eddie also acknowledged that he’s become less competitive over time.
The retired sports star – who was the focus of ‘Eddie the Eagle’, a biographical drama film, in 2016 – admitted that he simply wanted to “have fun” on the show.
He explained: “I used to be very competitive but, probably over the last 20 years, I’m just not competitive anymore – nowhere near like I used to be. I just go out and enjoy it and have fun doing things.”

The Apprentice star Lottie Lion resuscitated after collapsing in Sydney

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Apprentice’ star Lottie Lion was resuscitated and taken in for emergency heart surgery whilst on holiday in Sydney.
The 24-year-old star – who shot to fame on series 15 of BBC One reality show in 2019 – is “unfit” to travel back to the UK after being hospitalised with an abnormally fast heartbeat, after her’s spiked at 200 per minute.
Doctors diagnosed her with life-changing condition Wolff Parkinson-White – which her father also has, and, if left untreated, can cause heart attacks or strokes – after she collapsed on a walk, and because Lottie also has an abnormal heart rhythm, it’s even more concerning, and as a result, she has to remain Down Under and she will have to take various medications for three months and require more surgery.
Lottie had been in Bali before flying to Sydney and she put the “heart palpitations” she was having down to anxiety.
She told The Sun: “I was on a walk and felt extremely dizzy and was having heart palpitations. The next thing I knew I woke up in an ambulance.
“The next thing I knew I woke up in an ambulance.”
She continued: “I was putting it down to anxiety, so I ignored it.
“This is going to be life-changing for me, as I usually live an extremely active lifestyle attending the gym every day.
“I am on strict instructions, having to take four different medications three times a day until I am able to have my second heart surgery.”
Even after she has her second operation, Lottie will have to spend two months in recovery.
She said: “I’m also not considered ‘fit to fly’ so I am stranded in Australia.
“The next surgery involves trying to cauterise the abnormal circuits in my heart, but in a more invasive procedure with a two-month recovery period.”
Lottie is finding it tough as someone who is extremely active and looks after their health.
She added: “I took for granted how fit and healthy I was.
“I absolutely loved my active lifestyle and I’m devastated and very frustrated that I can’t at present continue that.”

Emma Stone ate 60 Portuguese tarts for Poor Things

OHMYGOSSIP — Emma Stone ate 60 Portuguese tarts on the set of ‘Poor Things’ and it made her “really want to puke”.
The 35-year-old actress has been nominated for an Oscar for her role as Bella – an infant in an adult’s body who goes about discovering the world – and Emma has opened up about the challenges she faced on set – revealing scoffing sweet treats was even more difficult than filming the movie’s sex scenes because they were so well co-ordinated.
During a panel at the Celebration of the Nominees for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures in Los Angeles over the weekend (24-25.02.24), she explained her struggle, telling the audience: “The sexuality of Bella … the way that that was going to be shot and how we were going to do it and our incredible intimacy coordinator and our closed sets and all of that.
“In some ways, that was the easiest part because that was choreographed. Those were quick. We knew exactly what we were doing.”
“Figuring out how to walk or eat 60 Portuguese tarts, which the first bite is delicious, but by the end you really want to puke.”
Emma went on to add: “Figuring out how to walk or eat 60 Portuguese tarts, which the first bite is delicious, but by the end you really want to puke. Or her seeing death and decay for the first time, much more challenging than the nudity, which is the only thing people want to seem to ask me about.”
Emma is nominated for the Best Actress Oscar for the role and she will face competition from Annette Bening (Nyad), Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon), Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall) and Carey Mulligan (Maestro).
The winner will be decided at the upcoming 96th Academy Awards which take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10.

Timothée Chalamet would do a superhero movie for the right director and script

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Timothée Chalamet would only sign up to a superhero movie if he approved of the script and the director.
The 28-year-old star has revealed the sage advice his ‘Don’t Look Up’ co-star Leonardo DiCaprio gave him, including not to sign up for a DC or Marvel movie.
He told The New York Times: “Well, Leonardo DiCaprio said to me, ‘No superhero movies, no hard drugs.’ Which I thought was very good. I follow them both!”
Turns out, Christopher Nolan’s 2008 DC Batman blockbuster ‘The Dark Knight’ inspired him to become an actor in the first place.
However, he added: “The movie that made me want to act is a superhero movie, ‘The Dark Knight’. If the script was great, if the director was great, I’d have to consider it.”
The ‘Dune: Part Two’ star came close to a superhero role when he audition for the leading role in ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’.
Chalamet read for the role of Peter Parker and his crime fighting alter-ego – which eventually went to Tom Holland – twice during the audition process for the 2017 movie, and said his agent had to stop him from turning up at the Marvel offices to audition a third time.
The ‘Wonka’ star said back in 2018: “I read twice and I left sweating in a total panic. I called my agent, [UTA’s] Brian Swardstrom, and I said, ‘Brian, I thought about this a lot and I have to go back and knock on that door and read again,’ and he told me the story of Sean Young and how in an attempt to become Catwoman had scared everyone away when she showed up at the studio gates in costume.”
Despite missing out on the chance to play Spider-Man, Timothée still made an impact with his starring role in ‘Call Me By Your Name’, and joked that his favourite part of 2017 was being able to take a break from the nerve-racking audition process.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the star said whilst collecting the Best Actor award at the 2018 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards: “Honestly, my favourite part of this last year – besides getting to act in other films and getting to talk about ‘Call Me by Your Name’ – is not to have to audition constantly.
“I try to learn with the folks that I work with and I did a reading with William H. Macy once, who said to me that the best thing that happened in his life besides having a wife and kids is not having to constantly audition.”

The 33-year-old TV star – who is best known for her appearances on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ – has revealed via social media that she’s been given the all-clear by her doctors.
Amy – who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year – wrote on Instagram: “NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE! Words I dreamed of! My biggest accomplishment yet!

Amy will still need to undergo treatment, but she’s now looking forward to the future with a renewed sense of optimism.
She said: “I will still need a monthly injection for 5 years and regular check ups.
“Chemo and this past year has certainly took its toll on my body both physically and mentally, so I’ll be taking the next few months to heal and recover.
“I have so much to strive and live for, and so grateful for another chance at life! Something I know not all get. I certainly see life differently and my life has changed forever!
“Cancer affects too many so I will continue to do all I can to raise awareness and make sure I get as many as I can to #checkthemselves.
“It’s time to look ahead after what’s been the toughest year, and one I certainly didn’t expect!
“Dance floor I’m coming for you! Welsh love, always Amy x (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chiwetel Ejiofor, June Squibb and Jessica Hecht will star in Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut.
The 39-year-old actress is set to direct ‘Eleanor the Great’, which was previously known as ‘Eleanor, Invisible’, a movie about a 90-year-old woman trying to rebuild her life after the death of her best friend, Variety reports.
TriStar Pictures and Sony Pictures Classics are partnering for the first time on the movie, which has a screenplay written by Tory Kamen.
Scarlett is also producing the film along with Jonathan Lia, and Keenan Flynn for These Pictures, Kara Durrett and Jessamine Burgum for Pinky Promise, and Celine Rattray and Trudie Styler of Maven Screen Media.
94-Year-Old actress Squibb – who was Oscar nominated for Best Supporting Actress in Alexander Payne’s ‘Nebraska’ in 2013 – recently spoke about the movie.
She told Deadline: “I’m actually going to be shooting a film in New York in a few months. And it’s about a woman in her 90s.”
She went on: “We’re becoming very strong. There are more and more of us. They’re having to look at us voting. They’re having to look at us in all sorts of ways. We hold a lot of money in this country right now.
“Age is something that people are exploring more and more. You keep getting these articles about people who are living into their 80s and 90s and still vital and doing things.
“I do Pilates once a week. We walked in and they kept going on about my age. It never occurred to me that I couldn’t do it. That was about a year and a half ago. We stayed with it and it’s helped.”

Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain: ‘You reach a level of success and interesting filmmakers stop calling’

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Oscar-winner Jessica Chastain has to chase directors for movie roles – because they fear they won’t be able to “afford” her.
The 46-year-old actress won an Academy Award in the Best Actress category for 2021’s ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’ and has starred in blockbusters including ‘The Help’, ‘Zero Dark Thirty’, ‘Interstellar’, ‘The Martian’ and ‘Molly’s Game’.
However, that doesn’t mean she is inundated with work offers – quite the opposite.
She told Radio Times magazine: “I think that you reach a level of success where the very interesting filmmakers stop calling. Because they are like, ‘I’m going to wait for ever for an answer. They’re going to string me along, they’ll sign up, and then they’ll ditch it at the last minute for something else that makes them more money.’ So the weird thing is that now it’s more me seeking them out. I think people are nervous to approach me because they think they don’t have enough money [to afford me].”
For her latest role, Chastain stars as Sylvia, a recovering alcoholic dealing with childhood trauma, in the film ‘Memory’.
And the director, Michel Franco, was told to expect the actress to be a “diva” on set – but she was quite the opposite.
During an interview at TIFF, the filmmaker said: “I told them, you don’t know half of it. She’s the opposite.
“She’s going to show up satisfied, happy, and be productive. People are so afraid of actors. I don’t know why.
“The worst way to approach an actor or any person is with fear, and if you are pointing in the wrong direction then, yes, all your nightmares will come true.”
She added: “Because I have been doing bigger things sometimes and have gotten a lot of attention as of late, [there’s been the idea] that I would not be interested in being on a set without a trailer.
“We had the Oscars, and I won for Tammy Faye, and then right after that, I showed up on set to do Memory.
“Michel [Franco, director] said that a lot of people told him, ‘Oh Jessica is going to leave your film because she just won an Oscar.’”

Sue Nicholls’ tribute to John Savident

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — Sue Nicholls has paid tribute to her former ‘Coronation Street’ co-star John Savident, following his death at the age of 86.
The actor was best known for having starred as butcher Fred Elliott on the ITV soap in the 1990s and early 2000s and passed away on Wednesday (21.02.24).
Sue, 80- who played his close friend Audrey Roberts – said: “I am very sad to hear of John’s passing. My memories of working with you dear John on the street are a joy, and always will be.
“God bless you and thank you for being in my life. Much love to you and your friends and family.”
Sue’s alter-ego Audrey memorably declared her love for Fred on the day of his wedding to Bev Unwin (Susie Blake).
Viewers were shocked to see Fred then suffer a massive stroke and die before making it to the altar.
Following John’s death, ITV Executive Producer for Continuing Drama Iain MacLeod said: “Everyone at Coronation Street is deeply saddened to learn of John Savident’s death. As Fred Elliott, John firmly established himself in the pantheon of ‘Coronation Street’ greats.
“His peerless comic timing, combined with a deep pathos arising from his outstanding dramatic skill, made Fred an unforgettable, iconic character that provided great joy to viewers for many years.
“On behalf of everyone here, I would like to extend condolences to John’s family and close friends at this sad time.”
John is survived by his wife Rona – whom he had been married to since 1961 – as well as their two children and several grandchildren.
John made a number of appearances on television and in film throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with roles in classics such as ‘A Clockwork Orange’ as well as ‘Yes Minister’ and even created the role of Monsieur Firmin in the original production of ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ in 1986.
But in 1994, he was cast as Fred Elliott in ‘Coronation Street’ when he was in his fifties and quickly became a household name.
Perhaps Fred’s most famous storylines saw him secretly reveal to fellow Street legend Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) that he was the secret father of Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold) after years of passing himself off as his uncle and in 2004 he fell out with friend Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs) when it was revealed that he had been having an affair with his wife.
During his time on the show, John’s character – who became known for his catchphrase “I say, I say…” – was married to Maureen Holdsworth (Sherrie Hewson) but she left him after just a week after the wedding and he later tied the knot with barmaid Eve Sykes (Melanie Kilburn), although it later came out that she had never divorced her first husband.

OHMYGOSSIP — Vin Diesel has promised fans that the final ‘Fast and Furious’ movie will be a “a celebration of the incredible family we’ve built together”.
The 56-year-old actor has played Dominic Toretto in the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise since 2001 and revealed that the final movie is well under way.
He wrote on Instagram: “Just finished our end of the week Fast meeting with the writers and the whole team… to say the excitement for our finale was incredibly powerful is an understatement. Wow. So exciting…
“While everyone was heading into the weekend amped and excited, I thought of you all… reminded of the countless moments when your enthusiasm and passion became the driving force behind our creative journey. Your commitment to our saga has had a unique impact on its success and evolution… as my youngest daughter would say, it’s profound.
“Thank you for being the backbone of this global saga that because of you, transcends the screen.
“This grand finale is not just an ending; it’s a celebration of the incredible family we’ve built together.
“Hope to make you proud!”
Vin is also a producer on the franchise, which sadly lost its other leading man in 2013, when Paul Walker – who played Brian O’Conner – died in a single-vehicle collision as a passenger in a speeding car.
At the time of his death, Walker had not completed filming ‘Furious 7’, released in 2015.
Paul’s brothers Cody and Caleb stepped in to help film his final scenes.

Fern Britton for Celebrity Big Brother?

OHMYGOSSIP — Fern Britton is being lined up for ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The TV presenter – who co-hosted ‘This Morning’ with Phillip Schofield for six years before being replaced by Holly Willoughby in 2009 – is set to enter the ‘CBB’ house when the show returns on ITV in March and she will reportedly open up about her rift with Schofield.
A source told The Sun’s Bizarre column: “She wants to show the public a different side to her — unscripted and unapologetic.
“She has a lot of stories to tell and she won’t hold back when it comes to her relationships with people like Phil.
“They don’t speak anymore so there are no bridges to burn as far as she is concerned.”
A ‘CBB’ spokesman said: “All names are purely speculation at this stage.”
Meanwhile, Roman Kemp has also been tipped to star in this year’s ‘Celebrity Big Brother’, following his Capital FM exit.
The 31-year-old star recently announced his decision to leave Capital Breakfast after more than 10 years of working for the network, and betting company Coral have priced him at 2/1 to become a contestant on the new series of the ITV reboot of the hit reality show.
Coral’s PR manager John Hill told The Sun newspaper: “Roman Kemp has announced he is leaving Capital’s Breakfast Show and many punters believe he will head straight into the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.
“We make the presenter odds-on to be one of the contestants on the return of the celebrity show.”
The original version of ‘Big Brother’ and its celebrity-based counterpart ran on Channel 4 from 2000 until 2010, before moving to Channel 5 until 2018.
But the format was revived by ITV towards the end of 2023, and was eventually won by former lawyer Jordan Sangha, 26, with dancer Olivia Young, 23, as runner-up.
The famous faces taking part in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ will be revealed live on air during the launch episode on March 4, but some other big names rumoured to be taking part include former ‘X Factor’ judge Louis Walsh and ‘Love Island’ winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu.

I’m A Celeb’s politician ban

By

-

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ bosses have reportedly banned politicians from the show.
After a number of controversial signings including former Health Minister Matt Hancock and ex-UKIP (UK Independence Party) leader Nigel Farage, show bosses are said to be keen to avoid including any more politicians in the line-up.
A source told The Mirror: “In the past it’s been really interesting to see which politicians are willing to join the show, with some even serving MPs. But this year, with an election looming, it doesn’t feel like the right moment for that. Coming on top of Farage not helping to pull in the punters last year, and Ant and Dec making it clear they want a change, this year it’s a case of avoid, avoid, avoid. It’s time for something different so it’s fair to say no one is seeking any controversial figures from the world of politics at this stage.”
When hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly were asked if Prime Minister Rishi Sunak could be a potential future campmate, Dec said: “I think we do a year without any politicians.”
Ant added: “Agreed, agreed, agreed.”
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that former ‘I’m A Celebrity’ host Holly Willoughby has been approached by Netflix for a new jungle-based series.
Holly previously co-hosted one series of ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity’ in 2018 alongside Declan Donnelly, temporarily taking the place of Dec’s regular co-presenter Ant McPartlin.
The former ‘This Morning’ presenter is thought to be wanted by the streaming giant to front a new show, which will star explorer Bear Grylls.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Bear is working with a production company for Netflix. They want Holly to host.
“A group of celebrities will be put into a jungle where they will have to tackle a series of challenges.”
In the series, contestants are expected to be pitted against Bear.
The source added: “If they lose, they’ll have to pit their wits against Bear, who will be hunting them down.
“It’s a really exciting concept and Bear is totally on board. Now they have Holly in their sights to host it.
“She is very glamorous and an accomplished host.
“Holly is open to offers. She won’t be rushing into anything and will be carefully cherry-picking her next projects.”
