Ewan McGregor in talks for Christopher Robin movie

OHMYGOSSIP — Ewan McGregor is in negotiations to join the cast of Disney’s live-action ‘Christopher Robin’ movie.
The 45-year-old actor – who reprised the role of Mark Renton in the ‘Trainspotting’ sequel earlier this year – is wanted for the project by director Marc Forster, whose previous work includes ‘World War Z’ and James Bond movie ‘Quantum of Solace’.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, McGregor is being lined up to play the titular role of an adult Christopher Robin in the film, which is centred on the character as a grown-up who has lost his sense of imagination and is too focused on work to have fun with his family until Pooh Bear surprisingly re-enters his life.
The Christopher Robin character was created by late English author A.A. Milne and featured in his two books ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ from 1926 and ‘The House at Pooh Corner’ from 1928 – inspired by his own son and his beloved teddy bear – with both tomes focusing on the boy’s adventures with lovable talking bear Pooh and the other animals of the Hundred Acre Wood.
Disney licensed the rights to Winnie-the-Pooh in 1961 and the honey-loving bear and his friends, including Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger, have featured in various TV shows, including ‘The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh’, and four animated feature films; ‘The Tigger Movie’, ‘Piglet’s Big Movie’, ‘Pooh’s Heffalump Movie’ and ‘Winnie the Pooh’.
McGregor brought to life talking candelabra Lumiere in Disney’s 2017 box office smash, the live-action version of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ – which also stars Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the titular Beast.
He’s currently involved in the third season of FX’s hit ‘Fargo’, which premiered on April 19, in which he plays twins Emmit and Ray Stussy.
He also has a role in Drake Doremus’ next film ‘Zoe’ opposite Lea Seydoux.

Mark Wright is terrified of ghost in home

OHMYGOSSIP — Mark Wright thinks his house is haunted.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star has admitted he refuses to walk around his home at night because he’s convinced a spooky figure has taken a liking to his and his wife Michelle Keegan’s property in Chigwell, Essex, after watching a horror movie.
The 30-year-old hunk told the Daily Star newspaper: “We’ve got really into horror films recently. Michelle loves to watch them more than me.
“I’m the man of the house so if something happens she just goes to sleep and I’m the one lying thinking ‘is that the ghost from that film in this room?’ ”
However, the ‘Take Me Out: The Gossip’ host didn’t let his fear of the supernatural stop him from joining five of his old ‘TOWIE’ cast members in an episode of ‘Ghosthunting’.
The group spent the night in the 19th Century Coalhouse Fort in East Tilbury, in Essex, where they visited underground tunnels, a gatehouse, mess hall and aviation museum.
But his fear of ghosts will no doubt ramp up a notch next month when his wife Michelle, 29, jets off to South Africa to shoot the third instalment of the army drama ‘Our Girl’.
The couple are meant to be celebrating their second wedding anniversary but they will be forced to spend the occasion apart as she will be busy shooting the next series.
Mark said recently of the next batch of episodes of the modern war drama: “It’s Nepal, South Africa, I think they’re going to Malaysia. They’re going everywhere for the next few months. It is difficult [to be separated from Michelle] and obviously in drama, the drama that she does, it takes ages to shoot an episode – compared to what we do in entertainment. It’s so much long winded so that’s why she has to be there for so long.”
But the couple – who tied the knot in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, England in front of their celebrity guests – are trying to spend as much time together before she leaves.
The 29-year-old hunk said: “We live in Essex but work takes us everywhere and when we can get little weekend breaks then we do. Home is our favourite place. We prefer that to date nights any day. Shutting the door, takeaway, pyjamas on, movie, we love it!”

Stephanie Davis’ memoir is axed

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Davis’ explosive autobiography has reportedly been “scrapped” – for now.
The 24-year-old actress’ tell-all memoir was meant to drop in just a few weeks’ time but publishers have decided to axe the release after she edited out the details of her turbulent relationship with Jeremy McConnell following their reunion this year.
A source told The Sun Online: “With just weeks to go before the autobiography is due out, Steph’s life and relationship with Jeremy has dramatically improved … With the June deadline looming there was very little juicy detail left, and Steph simply doesn’t have the time to rewrite everything, so the publishers decided to scrap it.”
The couple rekindled their romance four weeks after the birth of their now-three-month-old son Caben after a paternity test revealed that the heavily-inked hunk was in fact the little one’s biological father following nine months of denying responsibility.
Their relationship came crashing down again a few weeks later following allegations of domestic abuse but they’ve since patched up their differences and Jeremy has now decided to seek treatment in rehab for his drugs and alcohol addiction.
Due to the fact they’re giving things another go for the sake of their son, Stephanie decided she needed to erase all the “gory details” she initially included in the autobiography in order to “protect” the 27-year-old heartthrob from criticism.
The insider explained: “It was supposed to be an explosive exposé, however now Jeremy has entered rehab and is keen to make amends with Steph and be a great father to Caben-Albi, she feels that she needs to protect him so has edited out all of the gory details – and in turn all the best bits.”
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star struck up a relationship with Jeremy while they were both competing on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ in January 2016 but things hit the rocks just weeks after they left the infamous abode following rumours of infidelity.
Stephanie then found out she was pregnant but Jeremy refused to believe she was carrying his child until little Caben entered the world on January 13.
Throughout Stephanie’s pregnancy, the pair consistently bad mouthed one another during television interviews and on social media but the brunette beauty offered out an olive branch in February when she agreed to have a paternity test done on Caben.
Although publishers have decided to pull the plug on the autobiography, it’s not thought it’s forever as they want to give Stephanie more time to ensure it’s perfect.
A source said: “Steph’s a busy working mum and just doesn’t have the time she needs to dedicate attention that the book deserves. She is very aware of the size of this project and she is still going through a major part of her own story, so she’d rather let her loyal fans know the outcome once life is slightly more constant.
“Her life is completely different now from when she started writing last year, and while she Jez may be reunited the story is still evolving, so she agreed with the publishers to postpone it’s release.”
There’s currently no new date for the release of her autobiography.

George Sampson’s hair transplant ‘massive success’

OHMYGOSSIP — George Sampson’s hair transplant was a “massive success.”
The former ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ winner – who picked up the trophy in 2008 – underwent the £9,000 procedure, which saw a robot pluck up to 2,000 hairs from the back of his head and then a surgeon replant them by hand, on Wednesday (26.04.17) afternoon at the Juvida clinic in Skipton, North Yorkshire.
Taking to his Twitter account after the procedure, he said: “‘Had the best day ever thanks to wonderful people of @juvidaclinics… the transplant was a massive success and now recovery begins… (sic)”
The 23-year-old dancer – who made a name for himself spinning on his head and back flipping across the stage – revealed he was planning to have the hair transplant, despite his youthful age, because he’d started to go bald as a result of breakdancing.
He said earlier this week: “It [dance] helped me get where I am. But it’s left me bald on top. When I was 14 I wasn’t that bothered because I wore hats. But I’m older now. I tried herbal remedies, steroids. It got so bad my girlfriend worried about me bowing at shows in case it was visible. Image is a massive part of what I do.”
But it wasn’t just his hair that suffered as a consequence of his head-spinning moves as doctors warned him that his breakdancing could leave his crippled as he suffers with Scheuermann’s disease, a curvature of the spine that hits teenagers.
The condition left George blind for two months when he was 14 years old.
He said at the time: “The eye was all inflamed. I’d been using Deep Heat for my sore back, so at first I just thought I’d got it in my eye.
“But I ended up blind. The spinal nerves were trapped and it affected my optic nerves. I lost all my co-ordination and it was really hard to dance, as I didn’t have my balance. I kept bumping into everything.”

Ashley James reduced to tears by 'sexist' taxi driver

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley James felt like a “cheap w***e” after a taxi driver took a photograph of her boobs.
The former ‘Made in Chelsea’ star has revealed the “sexist” cab driver took a snap of her cleavage while she was en route to DJ at an event for the lingerie chain Boux Avenue, which led her to change into a more conservative outfit once she arrived at the bash.
In a lengthy Instagram post on Wednesday (26.04.17), Ashley explained: “Let’s talk about body confidence (and sorry for the long rant). Tonight someone said to me that they really enjoy the fact that I’m open and accepting of my body. It was kind of ironic because tonight, on the way to DJ for the @bouxavenue lingerie event, my cabbie turned around and took a photo of my boobs. I was already quite uncomfortable with my outfit, and then I was made to feel like a cheap w***e. (sic)”
Ashley admitted that the incident reduced her to tears, but she also expressed regret that she’d allowed her thinking to have been influenced by the “sexist a******e”.
She continued: “I succumbed to the slut shaming, broke down in tears, and then got changed at the event into something that didn’t feel me. Later, I realised I’d allowed some sexist a******e dictate how I should feel about my NATURAL GOD-GIVEN body so I got changed again. The road to body acceptance and confidence is hard, which is why I thought I’d share this story with you, but I’m trying. Thanks to all the awesome men and women who pep-talked me back to confidence tonight. (sic)”

Talulah-Eve Brown in talks for Celebrity Big Brother

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Britain’s Next Top Model’ contestant Talulah-Eve Brown is in talks to enter the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house.
The 22-year-old model – who was first ever transgender contestant on the beauty-based reality show – recently had her dreams of becoming the next big name in modelling dashed when she was booted from the Sky Living programme, but her life as a TV star is far from over as bosses at Channel 5 are reportedly keen to sign her up for a place in the next series of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Talulah-Eve has all the elements of a great housemate.
“She has a fascinating backstory, plus she proved on ‘Next Top Model’ that she loves being the centre on attention and won’t back down from confrontation.
“‘Next Top Model’ have given their blessing for her to appear on the show and she’s not bound to stay off screen by any restrictive contracts, which has made her more appealing to ‘CBB’ bosses.”
If Talulah-Eve does take part in the show, she’ll be the third transgender contestant to appear on the celebrity version of the programme after boxing promoter Kellie Maloney, 62, and antiques expert Lauren Harries, 38, who took part in 2014 and 2013 respectively.
And a place in the famous house would be fitting for Talulah-Eve – who was born a male named Aaron – as she was inspired to transition after reading about Nadia Almada, who became the first transgender person to win the regular series of ‘Big Brother’ when she took part in 2004.
Talulah-Eve said: “Growing up was difficult for me. I didn’t understand what I was – there was no education about it.
“I didn’t understand what I was, my whole life, pretty much. Then I read a story about Nadia from Big Brother and I thought, ‘Oh my god, this is me’.”

David Fincher in line to direct World War Z sequel

OHMYGOSSIP — David Fincher is being lined up to direct the ‘World War Z’ sequel.
The 54-year-old filmmaker – who has previously helmed the likes of ‘Gone Girl’ and ‘Fight Club’ – is being eyed by Paramount Pictures to take the lead on the sequel, with Brad Pitt returning to star.
The movie has yet to be officially given the green light, but that is expected to happen in the coming weeks, with production set to begin in the early part of 2018, according to Variety.
Brad was keen to work with the director on the sequel, having previously collaborated with him on the 1995 crime thriller ‘Seven’.
However, the movie has reportedly been delayed by Brad’s divorce from Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie.
David is cautious about making sequels, but he has apparently been open to listening to Brad’s ideas about the follow-up movie.
Brad, 53, previously admitted he was keen to make a sequel to the 2013 hit.
He shared: “We have so many ideas on the table from the time we spent developing this thing and figuring out how the zombie worlds work.
“We gotta get the script right first to determine if we go further.”
Brad said that the original movie created plenty of scope to make a sequel.
He explained: “We have so many ideas and so much information –
we think we have a lot of stuff to mine from.”
The Marc Forster-directed ‘World War Z’ was based on the title of the 2006 novel of the same name by Max Brooks.
The movie saw Brad play the part of Gerry Lane, a former UN investigator who tries to stop a zombie pandemic.

Jude Law to 'meet with J.K. Rowling' before taking on Dumbledore role

OHMYGOSSIP — Jude Law will “meet J.K. Rowling” to discuss his role as Dumbledore in ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2’.
The 44-year-old actor has been cast as the young version of Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore in the sequel to the ‘Harry Potter’ spin-off, and has said he wants to meet with the author – who penned the ‘Harry Potter’ series – to talk about her “vision” for the character before he gets into costume.
Speaking to BBC London, Jude said: “My first port of call I hope is to meet J.K. Rowling and to talk exactly about that and who [Dumbledore] is and who she wants him to be and learn a little bit more about her vision of this great man as a young man.”
Jude was announced for the role – which was played by the late Richard Harris and then later by Michael Gambon in the original film series – last month, after director David Yates dubbed him as a “phenomenally talented actor”.
He said: “Jude Law is a phenomenally talented actor whose work I have long admired, and I’m looking forward to finally having the opportunity to work with him. I know he will brilliantly capture all the unexpected facets of Albus Dumbledore as J.K. Rowling reveals this very different time in his life.”
Jude will appear alongside Eddie Redmayne, who plays lead role Newt Scamander, Johnny Depp as dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, and Zoe Kravitz as Leta Lestrange.
Also recently rumoured to be joining the cast is ‘Glue’ actor Callum Turner, who is believed to be playing Newt’s brother Theseus Scamander.
Little else is known about the film, which is the second out of five planned movies, but it was revealed it will be based in Paris.
The films follow Magizoologist Newt, who travels the world protecting endangered magical creatures and to document them.
‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2’ is scheduled for release in 2018.

Chloe Sims won't film with Pete Wicks

OHMYGOSSIP — Chloe Sims doesn’t want to film with Pete Wicks anymore.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star has asked bosses if she can keep her scenes with her heavily-inked friend to the minimal while he’s trying to get through his split with Megan McKenna because she’s being blasted online for poking her nose into their romance and she’s worried her 10-year-old daughter Madison will start to pick up on the insults.
Writing in her column for Star magazine, she said: “I’ve taken myself out of the situation with Megan and Pete and have stopped filming with them. I’m getting trolled and abused online and I don’t want kids in Maddie’s school seeing what they’re writing about her mum. People are getting really personal about my looks and as a mother – and it’s not just youngsters, believe it or not! I’ve now turned off the comments on Instagram so people can’t be cruel anymore. It’s mentally draining.”
Despite cutting down her scenes with Pete and Megan – who split up after it became apparent that he’d cheated on the brunette beauty – the blonde babe has still be “busy” shooting for the reality TV show with her friends Bobby Norris and Gemma Collins.
She explained: “I’ve been really busy filming ‘TOWIE’ but I managed to have a night out at Sugar Hut last week. I bumped into Nathan Massey but I didn’t get the chance to ask him about his split with Cara De La Hoyde. It was fun but OMG I paid for it the next day – I had the hangover from hell!”

Jonathan Demme dies at 73

OHMYGOSSIP — Jonathan Demme has died at the age of 73.
The ‘Silence of the Lambs’ director sadly passed away in the early hours of Wednesday (26.04.17) morning as a result of complications from oesophageal cancer – something he had been battling for some time – at his home in Manhattan, New York, surrounded by his his three children Jos, Brooklyn and Romona and his wife Joanne.
His representative confirmed the news to Variety this afternoon and announced that the family will be organising a private family funeral in due course and possibly a memorial.
Demme’s relatives have asked those wanting to pay their respects to make donations to the filmmaker’s favourite charity, Americans For Immigrant Justice, instead of flowers.
The legendary director – who was born in Baldwin, Long Island, rose to prominence in the 1980s with his comedy films ‘Melvin and Howard’, ‘Swing Shift’, ‘Something Wild’ and ‘Married to the Mob’, before he nabbed an Oscar for ‘Silence of the Lamb’.
Demme’s last work was ‘Ricki and the Flash’, which starred Meryl Streep as an ageing rocker who must return home to Indiana due to a family crisis, in 2015 but the flick failed to garner much at the box office and the reviews were somewhat muted.
Following the news of his passing, some of his friends have flocked to their social networking sites to pay their respects and pass on their condolences to his family.
Barry Jenkins said: “My man Demme was the kindest, most generous. A MASSIVE soul. He lived in love. And rests in peace.”
Beau Willimon added: “I only worked with him once – he was just like his films: brilliant, curious & original. RIP Jonathan Demme – a truly great filmmaker.”
While Edgar Wright said: “Very sad to hear of the passing of the great Jonathan Demme. Admired his movies, his documentaries, his concert films. He could do anything. Too many great films to mention: Something Wild, Stop Making Sense, Silence Of The Lambs, Melvin & Howard, among countless varied others (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mickey Mouse raced around London in his new Roadster Racer on Wednesday (26.04.17).
Commuters lining up at the taxi rank at Charing Cross station, at Southbank and in central, were in for a shock today when they saw the beloved cartoon character rock up in his fancy new motor, which took eight weeks to complete, just in time for the launch of the brand new animated series, ‘Mickey and the Roadster Racers’, on Disney Junior and DisneyLife.

Frank Bruno's boxing dance

OHMYGOSSIP — Frank Bruno can’t help “breakdancing” when he watches boxing on TV.
The former fighter admits watching the sport, whether at ringside or on the box can be an “emotional experience” and he gets very restless when following the action at home.
He said: “Whether you are watching from an armchair or ringside, watching a fight gets very emotional. I’ve been known to get up and shout, or body pop and breakdance as if I’m in the ring myself.”
“When watching it at home, at least you don’t have to deal with the pre-fight training and diet. What’s more you can choose who you watch with, so just don’t invite anyone who’ll annoy you around!”
This weekend will see Anthony Joshua take on Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium in London, and to mark the fact TalkTalk TV will be showing the bout for Britain’s lowest price of £17.95, Frank and his son Franklin have produced a tutorial video to teach the nation how to “goggle box” from their armchairs.
The video sees Frank share his advice on dealing with everything from pre-match preparation, to embracing the passion of watching a fight and even suggests tuning into the ‘Great British Bake Off’ in order to cool afterwards.
Both Frank and his son are backing the IBF heavyweight champion to retain his title on Saturday (29.04.17).
Frank said: “I think Anthony Joshua has got a good chance. He’s got youth on his side, he’s a very powerful puncher and could potentially knock Klitschko out very early. Klitschko is a great fighter though, with a lot more rounds under his belt, so you never know.”
From 6:00pm, TalkTalk TV customers can watch every punch, jab and knockout blow, on channel 416 for just £17.95.

Amber Turner won't quit TOWIE

OHMYGOSSIP — Amber Turner has “no intention” of quitting ‘The Only Way is Essex’.
The blonde newcomer – who is best friends with Megan McKenna – was slammed with abuse, with some people calling for her to axed, over the weekend when she locked horns with Chloe Meadows following her split from Jamie Reed but she’s adamant she’s going to be around for a while yet because she’s willing to “speak the truth.”
A source told The Sun Online: “Amber is a very real person who speaks the truth.
“She’s been surprised by the negative reaction of some ‘TOWIE’ viewers online as she’s a private person and would never air any of her grievances so publicly.
“But the fact is all she’s doing is being honest, which other cast-members don’t seem to be doing. She enjoys being on the show and has no intention of quitting. Amber will also never consider changing her ways.”
And, although she hasn’t won over the viewers, the producers are very impressed with her behaviour because she adds some spice to the otherwise “boring” show.
A spokesperson explained: “Amber has certainly ruffled a few feathers but every show needs someone that – otherwise it will be boring.
“Producers have been really impressed by her attitude, too, as she had no qualms about bringing the good, bad and ugly of her life onto camera – never hiding away.
“The hope is she’ll continue to be one of the mainstays in the cast for future series.”
Amber certainly hit the ground running when she joined the rest of the cast on the ITVBe show last month as her first major storyline was about her cheating on her then-beau.
The blonde beauty was accused of spending the night with Dan Edgar on holiday with some of the cast while her beloved boyfriend Jamie waited at home in Essex for her.
Amber then struck up a brief relationship with Dan before the pair decided to call it quits, however, Jamie had already moved on with his new girlfriend Jade Lewis.

Matt LeBlanc to return to Top Gear next year

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt LeBlanc will return to ‘Top Gear’ next year.
The popular motoring show has been hit with numerous changes over the past two years as the original presenting line up – Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May – were given the chop and the replacement Chris Evans walked out after his series flopped last year but the programme’s boss Patrick Holland has confirmed the former ‘Friends’ star, Rory Reid and Chris Harris will be back for another instalment.
Asked if all three will be back in 2018, he told the Radio Times: “Yes, very much so.”
Patrick admitted the trio’s return was a no brainer because he was so impressed with their performance in the most recent series and is glad the audience enjoyed it.
He explained: “The audience appreciation scores are far bigger than they were last year. The audience is much younger. It has had a real growth in under 34s and under 16s. The doubt at the beginning, the fear when a show comes back is will the audience grow to like this new presenting combo? And we are starting again this year.
“And I think they really have and Chris and Rory have grown and Matt has made it his own show. We are turning over a new leaf, I think Chris and Rory have been fantastic, I think Matt has really been terrific on the films. I think he really started to enjoy the studios more and more.”
And it’s not just Patrick who is pleased with the current line up as Chris thinks the radio DJ – who walked away from the show just 12 months into his three-year contract – did them a favour by leaving them in the lurch last year because more people are tuning in to the show now that it’s become more about cars.
He said: “It’s a bit more car-orientated so the petrolheads are enjoying it. It’s never going to satisfy the full petrolhead audience but the car is at the centre of the show.”

Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace's cat taken into emergency hospital

OHMYGOSSIP — Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace’s pussy has been admitted to an “emergency hospital”.
The 38-year-old reality star has taken to Twitter to share the devastating news that her 13-year-old pet cat called Princess is undergoing treatment after her vets’ practice failed to solve the mystery illness the feline is suffering with.
Taking to the micro-blogging site on Wednesday (26.04.17), she wrote: “Transporting my darling cat Princess from one Vets to another emergency hospital for pets …. #prayForPrincess 13 years old (sic)”
The buxom blonde later shared a picture of grey-haired Princess in the ‘cone of shame’, which veterinarians give animals to prevent them from biting or licking wounds.
She captioned the photo with the hash tag, “#PrayforPrincess”.
Meanwhile, the fashion designer is clearly out to prove she is much more than a reality star as she shared a recent interview about her now being a multi-millionaire and how she has built her fortune shortly after her posts about her cat.
Speaking about her life since appearing on ‘Big Brother’ in 2006, she said in the article: “The main thing to be successful, is to be a hustler. I was willing to do absolutely any job, any thing that came up.
“It was a lot, like life changing. It went straight into property. I didn’t buy one pair of shoes or handbag, I didn’t spoil myself.
“I knew I had to have that fall back plan, because you can’t rely on the celebrity world. You are hot one minute and no one cares the next.”

Chris Harper says Coronation Street grooming story will get darker

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Harper says it’s only just the beginning for Bethany Platt’s misery in ‘Coronation Street’ as his character ramps up his grooming mission.
The harrowing storyline has Chris’ character Nathan Curtis win the trust of 16-year-old Bethany (Lucy Fallon) and make her his girlfriend, but now he plans to let his evil friends sleep with the pretty blonde and Chris admits Bethany will be entering a “dark space”
Speaking on ‘This Morning’, Chris said: “Nathan has done it before to other people and is doing with other people still. Bethany is falling in love with him. She is going to be entering a dark space and Nathan introducing Neil is just the beginning. Counsellors call it love bombing and it can happen to anyone. The perpetrator pretends to be your hero but Bethany to Nathan is a commodity. Nathan will be proposing to her and he wins her trust and makes her fall in love with him then flips it and plays on her age.”
Chris admits it’s been tough to portray such a heinous character on the cobbles but he was thrilled to be cast in ‘Corrie’ as it is his favourite TV show.
He said: “I burst into tears when I got the role. My wife who is brilliantly supportive said it was a fantastic opportunity and a great part and a great chance. I hope Nathan doesn’t stay in Weatherfield for long. I hope he doesn’t get a job in the Rovers and become good but bitter.
“I’ve met some incredibly strong people and when they found out that ‘Corrie’ was going to do this story they were happy. They’re used to being ignored or labelled. The NSPCC is pushing this as a big problem we have across the country.”
