OHMYGOSSIP — Ferne McCann’s friends are “really worried” about her.
The 26-year-old presenter found out she was pregnant with her first child just days before her boyfriend Arthur Collins, 24, went on the run following an acid attack at a nightclub in London last weekend but it seems his recent arrest has hit her hard as she’s started to detach herself from her friends and has reportedly gone into hiding.
A source told The Sun Online: “We had no idea [she was pregnant]. It’s really worrying – we don’t know what she’s going to do now, it’s really sad, we’re all here for her but she’s not speaking to anyone. We don’t even know where she is.
“She wouldn’t have wanted it to be like this. It’s really sad… she isn’t getting to celebrate being pregnant like other first time mum’s – she doesn’t deserve this, she is a lovely girl and she deserves only happiness. Everyone is really concerned for her.”
Arthur has now been charged with 14 counts of grievous bodily harm with intent and one of throwing corrosive fluid on a person following the incident and Ferne’s friends fear the situation could potentially ruin her TV career.
An insider explained: “We feel really sad for Ferne as she has not been able to celebrate what should be the happiest time of her life because her pregnancy has been tainted by such a horrific tragedy.
“The abuse on Twitter is terrible – hopefully people won’t hold it against her and it won’t affect her career because it’s not fair on her.”
Ferne has since announced her plans to raise her baby alone following Arthur’s arrest.
The brunette beauty’s representative said: “Ferne is in no way seeking sympathy for her situation and is determined to do all she can to have a happy and healthy child and face the challenges of being a single parent with all her energy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Prue Leith is moving in with her husband – even though she didn’t want to for years.
The new ‘Great British Bake Off’ judge – who will be Mary Berry’s replacement when the baking programme returns to screens later this year – couldn’t bring herself to set up home with her husband John Playfair because she’s “anally neat” but has now decided to let go of her reservations and take the leap for the benefit of their love.
The 77-year-old restaurateur is now renting out her four-bedroom barn conversion in the Costwolds for £2,750 a month but she’s yet to find anyone to move in.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Prue’s renting out her home and thinks it’s about time to try living with John after they tied the knot last year. She hasn’t found a tenant yet but she’s had some interest since advertising it this month.”
Prue’s sudden change of heart no doubt came as a huge shock to John as she’s always remained adamant that she was interested in sharing a space with anyone.
She said last year: “John’s got a lot of stuff and I’m rather anally neat and tidy and I don’t want all that stuff in my house. And he doesn’t want me tidying it up.
“He does all his ironing and he cleans his shoes there and he keeps all his gear there. And I tell you what it’s the ideal thing.
“What you want – and what I get – is him without his clobber and without the responsibility of looking after his laundry or sewing on his buttons.
“We just want to be Mr and Mrs. It’s about happiness and commitment, to have and to hold, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Davis is “bored” of reading about herself.
The 24-year-old actress has seen her face slapped across newspapers and plastered online since she struck up a relationship with Jeremy McConnell in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house last January, but she has admitted now that they’re finally getting things back on track following months of make ups, break ups and a baby, she hopes the details of her private life will now remain behind closed doors.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Monday (24.04.17), she said: “Believe me, I’m sick of seeing myself in the paper and online, I am bored too. A lot of it isn’t true.”
However, the brunette beauty can see why people are so fascinated with her love life because their behaviour has been played out on social media and national television since they appeared in the infamous abode almost a year and a half ago.
She explained: “Looking back now from a different place, it’s been so up and down and it was a big joke … I am not perfect, I couldn’t sit on the sofa and say I’ve been an angel because I’m not, I’ve done things I regret, I’ve done things behind closed doors but I’m a firm believer in what’s done is done, I cant go back to the past.”
The couple rekindled their romance earlier this year after a paternity test revealed Stephanie’s now-three-month-old son Caben belongs to the Irish hunk, but the pair are currently apart while Jeremy is in rehab for his drugs and alcohol addiction.
She explained: “It hasn’t been good, there was an underlying issue with the drugs and I’ve come on to support Jeremy, just to try and put everything straight a bit because to the public it seemed an absolute joke. I wasn’t saying anything and he was in denial and didn’t think he had a problem, but it was an underlying thing.”
Stephanie later thanked the show’s presenter Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield for bringing them back together after they interviewed Jeremy on the programme in January over rumours that she had given him a legal document suggesting that she would only agree to a paternity if he signed an “unreasonable” agreement.
She said: “I thought you were a bit biased, there were certain elements, you know what it’s like to be a mum and I didn’t feel like anyone could side with me, I did say he could make amends and no one mentioned that. It was out of order, but I had a newborn baby, a hard pregnancy, I did this myself with a solicitor.”
On reflection, the former ‘Hollyoaks’ star can see that her conditions were out of order but she insisted she only did it to keep her little baby out of the drama.
She added: “No person would sign that, I know that now, but I was so angry. I wanted to keep Caben out of it. I called Jeremy the next day [after the television interview] and said it had gone too far, let’s just get it [the paternity test] done.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Davis “cried for hours” when Jeremy McConnell agreed to enter rehab.
The 26-year-old heartthrob agreed to seek professional help for his drug and alcohol addiction at the beginning of April for six weeks and the brunette beauty has admitted she couldn’t stop sobbing when he told her he was going to check into a medical facility because she feared he’d slowly kill himself on the path he was on.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Monday (24.04.17), she said: “I’m really proud of him, it’s been a long time coming, it’s hard for everyone to listen to but I love him and when you love someone and you’re in a relationship, obviously it’s on a different scale because were in the public eye and we haven’t helped ourselves.
“Jeremy has finally admitted he needed help and I cried for hours because it was a weight off my shoulders, I was watching the man I loved slowly kill himself and there was nothing I can do. I’m really really proud, e’s sorting his life out.”
The couple met when they both competed on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ in January 2016 but, following a series of blazing rows over infidelity, they split five months later.
The 24-year-old actress then found out she was pregnant but Jeremy refused to believe the baby – who is now three months old – belonged to him until he was born.
After months of tit-for-tat, it was finally revealed – three weeks after the baby was born in January this year – that Jeremy is actually little Caben’s biological father.
The couple then decided to give their relationship another go for the sake of the tiny tot and, although she doesn’t know what the future will hold, Stephanie believes Jeremy, 27, is the love of her life and she will continue to stand by his side.
She explained: “We are together. I can’t sit here and say it’s gonna happen in a year’s time, five years, 10 years, but right now we’re taking it day by day. He wants to be a good dad and put the wrongs right … I love Jez, I think that’s plain to see, I’m proud of him and I take my hat off to him because to admit you’ve got a problem and do something, that takes guts. Already speaking to him is such a difference. It breaks my heart too because the drug addiction was just the tip of the iceberg, all that stuff that happened had to get broken down and built back up but he wants to be a good dad to Caben and I love him, everyone deserves a second chance.”
Stephanie believes Jeremy’s problems stemmed from his childhood – during which time he lost his mother, brother and sister in the space of 15 months – and then losing his father last month and auntie shortly afterwards was the tip of the iceberg.
She said: “I think what people don’t understand with addiction, it’s really really hard, people with addiction, it’s either everything is great or I can’t deal with this, there’s no grey area. Jez was like I’ve not got a problem, I know what the problem is. You can’t help someone until they want to help themselves, it was a vicious circle.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jessica Wright is hoping to land a “film deal” in America.
The 31-year-old reality TV star – who rose to fame in ITVBe’s ‘The Only Way is Essex’ before leaving last year after six years on the show – is convinced she is in with the chance of nabbing a major role across the pond after she recently signed to her successful brother Mark Wright’s Los Angeles agent John Ferriter.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Jess has always dreamed of making it big in Hollywood – she loves the lifestyle and has always wanted to be on the big screen.
“So she’s made the leap and signed up with renowned agent John Ferriter – who not only represents her brother but also looks after the likes of Piers Morgan, Dannii Minogue and The Beach Boys too. She’s really hoping that, with all of John’s experience, he will be able to help her land a film deal and a few modelling campaigns. LA is what Essex longs to be and Jess is very excited about the future.”
And while the star is yet to confirm the news, the announcement comes shortly after the brunette beauty – who also took part in ITV’s ‘Dance Dance Dance’ earlier this year alongside her friend Duane – hinted that she has something “exciting” coming up.
She said at the time: “Something really exciting’s coming up and I can’t wait to tell you all. It’s going to be announced very soon.”
However, it was initially thought she had been approached to take part in this year’s ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ – and she certainly wasn’t against the idea.
And when asked if she would take part in the show, she said: “I’d absolutely do that. I think it’ll be a huge challenge for me but I’d love to do it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — EastEnders’ Robbie Jackson will return to Albert Square without his beloved pet pooch.
The unlucky-in-life road sweeper – portrayed by Dean Gaffney – hasn’t graced Walford since he made a brief return in September 2015 with his dog Wellard II when his mother Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson) rode off into the sunset for a fresh start but, although fans are excited to see his loveable face, they’ll no doubt be devastated when he rocks up without his furry friend Wellard II in tow.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Robbie’s return is exciting news for fans but the feeling is he’ll be coming back as a more grown-up character with a slightly more serious outlook than before. In his original run Robbie was often a figure of fun, and the pairing with Wellard was part of that, but that’s not going to be the case this time around, so there doesn’t seem to be a call for the dog. Bosses hope long-term fans will find a new affection for the way Robbie has matured since they first saw him.”
Dean was axed from the long-running soap alongside his dog in 2003 but he reprised his role for a few episodes in 2004 and then again in 2010 for various Jackson family events.
Fans were in for a shock in 2015 when he rocked up temporarily with Wellard II after his childhood friend Wellard died from old age. He then fled the Square for a “fresh start” in Milton Keynes.
Although it doesn’t look like Robbie will be joined by a pet when he sees the other residents this time around, bosses have teased that fans will have to “wait and see” what he brings back to Walford.
Meanwhile, Dean recently admitted he couldn’t wait to get back on set and see his co-stars again.
He said: “I’m really happy to be back. I’m so lucky to be given the chance to work again with such a talented group of people. A big thank you to Sean and the team. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

In an appearance on ‘The Ellen Degeneres Show’ on Monday (03.04.17) Chris was asked if the two upcoming ‘Avengers’ films would be his last outings as Captain America, to which he replied: “It is. My contract is up. I have ‘Avengers’ three and four, we do ‘Avengers 3’ now and four is the latter part of the year, then after that, that is the end of my contract …They’ve been filming since February, I don’t start until May, there are so many people involved.”
The Hollywood hunk previously admitted he wanted to take on less acting jobs in the future so he could focus on directing but he will be starring in new Lionsgate movie ‘Jekyll’ based on Steven Moffatt’s BBC series of the same name starring James Nesbitt.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ferne McCann has confirmed she is pregnant.
The former ‘Only Way is Essex’ star is expecting her first child with former partner Arthur Collins – who she seemingly ditched following his alleged involvement in a nightclub acid attack last week – but doesn’t want to discuss her news at the moment because she is under “immense strain” because of the police investigation surrounding her ex-boyfriend.
Her spokesperson confirmed to OK! Online: “Ferne is grateful for the sympathetic way news of her pregnancy has been covered and people’s support and obviously her first concern is for her child’s health.
“Accordingly she does not wish to discuss the pregnancy further given the early stage it is at and the immense strain that Ferne is currently under.
“Nor does she wish to discuss her ex-boyfriend who she does not recognise from the events of the last week.”
The 26-year-old beauty is now gearing up for life as a single parent.
The representative continued: “Ferne is in no way seeking sympathy for her situation and is determined to do all she can to have a happy and heathy child and face the challenges of being a single parent with all her energy.”
And after Arthur, 25, was arrested and charged with 14 counts of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm and one count of throwing corrosive fluid on a person with intent to do grievous bodily harm in connection with the acid attack in London nightspot Mangle on 17 April, the presenter has extended her sympathies to the victims of the attack, two of whom have been left blind in one eye.
The spokesperson concluded: “Her thoughts are with the victims of the horrific attack on Easter Monday.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘League of the Gentlemen’ is expected to make a television comeback.
Mark Gatiss has confirmed he’s planning to make an “anniversary special” for the black television comedy, which first aired in January 1999, that will see Tubbs, Herr Lipp, Papa Lazarou and co reunite for the first time since the show concluded in 2002.
The 50-year-old screenwriter made the revelation over the weekend in a tweet directed at film director Duncan Jones after he said he was a “huge fan” of the show.
He said: “Hi @ManMadeMoon Thanks so much for your kind words Big fan. You may be pleased to know that we’re planning a ‘League’ anniversary special! (sic).”
Although Gatiss refused to divulge any more details, it’s thought the special won’t hit television screens for another two years as it’ll probably fall in line with its 20th birthday.
Fans have been speculating for years that another instalment of the sitcom would arrive on screens but, as each year passed by, their hope of a reunion diminished drastically.
However, Gatiss set tongues wagging recently when he said the show could return to capitalise on Brexit – a term used for the UK’s planned withdrawal from the European Union – as it would suit Tubbs’ desire of having their ‘local shop for local people.”
The ‘League of Gentlemen’ was created by Gatiss, Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton and Jeremy Dyson and the show originally aired on BBC Radio 4 before moving to television on BBC Two.
It is based around residents of the fictional Pennines town of Royston Vasey and ran for three series from 1999 to 2002 and went on to win a BAFTA.
A film adaptation was also made in 2005 called ‘The League of Gentlemen’s Apocalypse’.
Back in October 2016, Gatiss revealed he and the rest of the gang had discussed doing something to mark the special date.
He said at the time: “We’re hoping to do it again. We’ve talked seriously about doing something. We’re not quite sure what it is yet but we’d love to do something. I think increasingly talking about prescience, we have become a local country for local people and I wonder if there is something Brexity in us that we can do.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir David Attenborough thinks his memory is dwindling.
The 90-year-old legendary presenter is currently travelling around the globe for filming for ‘Blue Planet II’ but has admitted he’s “run into a few problems” while writing the script for the seven-episode series because of his difficulty to remember names.
David – who turns 91 next month – noticed his memory lapse while he was trying to recall the name of a flower during a recent trip to Jura Mountains in Switzerland.
He told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “There were these searing yellow fields and I can’t think of the damn name. I wanted to say something about it but I couldn’t and it wasn’t until we got quite close to Geneva that I thought, of course, oil seed rape.”
The naturalist will make two appearances in the forthcoming series – the same amount of times he was seen in last year’s ‘Planet Earth II’ – and is convinced that people will be blown away by the footage they’ve managed to obtain from the shores in Florida.
He said: “I’ve just come back from Florida where we have been filming spinner sharks. There are 20,000 of them and people don’t even know they’re there.
“From a helicopter you can see this great column of fish and sharks, and just over there, there are people exercising their dogs on the beach.”
Bosses at the BBC announced they were planning to do a second instalment of ‘Blue Planet’ after ‘Planet Earth II’ went down such a storm with viewers late last year.
The forthcoming series, which was filmed over four years using new camera technology and techniques, was last on screens six years ago but will return later this year.
The new-and-improved technology used during filming allowed the camera crew to capture predatory fish and dolphins front on as well as get up close to whale sharks.
The crew also used two unmanned submersibles, which allowed them to record footage from 1,000 metres under the Antarctic Ocean, to capture footage of never-before filmed creatures, including hairy-chested Hoff crabs, snub fin dolphins that spit water, and a tool-using tusk fish.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ferne McCann’s boyfriend Arthur Collins has been charged in connection with the acid attack that took place in a London nightclub last week.
The former ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star’s 25-year-old beau was charged with 14 counts of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm, as well as one count of pelting corrosive fluid with intent to do grievous bodily harm, after around 20 party-goers at east London’s hotspot Mangle on April 17 suffered burns from being doused with the harmful substance.
The 26-year-old reality star’s lover is set to appear at the Thames Magistrates’ Court on Monday (24.04.17).
Arthur reportedly had to be tasered by police after a six-day manhunt because he failed to put his hands up when he was being arrested of attempted murder at a house in Rushden, Northamptonshire, on Saturday (22.04.17).
Footage of the arrest has been obtained by The Sun newspaper, which has detailed the incident.
In the video footage, one officer is heard saying: “Get your hands up … put them on the small of your back — now.”
But when Arthur failed to respond, an officer reportedly ordered for him to be hit with 50,000 volts from a stun gun.
An officer said: “Guys are we clear? Taser, taser — hit him.”
Arthur’s arrest came after another man, Andre Phoenix, 21, was charged with seven counts of grievous bodily harm in connection with the incident.
Meanwhile, another man who was arrested on Friday (21.04.17) over the attack has since been released.
Ferne was not at the club with her boyfriend and has since removed him from her social media accounts, but did make a public appeal for him to meet with police.
A spokesperson for the ‘This Morning’ co-host – who is rumoured to be pregnant – said recently: “Ferne is aware that the police wish to speak to Arthur Collins and the nature of the accusations against him.
“Obviously these are highly shocking and Ferne has co-operated with the police in their inquiries. She was not with Arthur on Sunday night, was not at Mangle, and has no direct knowledge of the events that unfolded.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul O’Grady felt Cilla Black’s spirit during filming for ‘Blind Date’.
The 61-year-old TV presenter is the new host of the iconic dating show and has claimed he felt like he was turning into his good friend – who died after a fall at her Spanish home in 2015 – during the making of the Channel 5 programme.
Paul said: “I could feel myself morphing into Cilla, the arms were going up and the voice would go down – and I said, ‘What is your name number one and where do you come from?’ I even said we are gonna have a lorra lorra laughs.”
And Paul, who was initially unsure about becoming the show’s new host, revealed he has already received positive feedback on the programme from some of his close pals.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “My mate said, ‘You are sort of a bit like her’ – and I said ‘No, I cannot sing and I haven’t got red hair.'”
Earlier this month, Paul promised TV viewers that Cilla – who hosted ‘Blind Date’ from 1985 until 2003 – will still be part of the revamped programme.
He said: “I can get away with saying things about her because we’re mates. Somebody who didn’t know her couldn’t do that because it might be seen as disrespectful. I can say, ‘She left me this in her will. Thanks, Cilla.’
“You can’t ignore her. It was such an iconic show and she was synonymous with it. It would be disrespectful not to mention her.
“The old girl will be living on. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Paul also said he is proud the show will be embracing “diversity” and will feature same-sex couples, as well as older people looking for love.
He explained: “We’ve moved on now, haven’t we? I didn’t even have to fight for that, they were all for it. We’ve got the over-70s too. You name it, we’ve got it. We’ve gone big time for diversity.”
