OHMYGOSSIP — Angélique ‘Frenchy’ Morgan wants to return to ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ – but only if she’s paid £100,000.
The controversial 41-year-old model – who appeared on the reality TV show in 2014 but became the third contestant to get the boot – has admitted she’d jump at the chance to head back into the infamous abode when the series returns to screens this summer but bosses will need to fork out a huge sum.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: “I have no regrets. I’m really happy I did that show. It was fun and crazy. I would say yes if the money is right…
“I would love to do that show again, but they would have to offer me a lot more than last time… [They will have to give me] between £50,000 and £100,000 – last time they gave me £20,000.”
However, although she’s interested in a higher pay packet this time around, the blonde bombshell can’t praise the producers enough because they really do pull out all of the stops to keep contestants happy.
She said of her previous stint three years ago: “My plane ticket was £25,000, first class… I had a driver everywhere. They treat the stars very well.”
Frenchy was initially rumoured to be taking part in the last series of the programme ‘All Stars vs. New Stars’, which saw previous contestants join new faces in the infamous abode but, considering her current demands, it’s believed bosses probably didn’t offer her a high enough sum to do the show.
A source said just weeks before the special hit television screens: “This time she is thinking bigger and better. She wants to make a serious impact on the house so she’s planning all kinds of tricks to wind them up. She knows the key to driving everyone crazy is through a lack of sleep or food so she’ll be sure to lose tacks on purpose and create havoc late at night.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex Jones will return to ‘The One Show’ on Monday (24.04.17).
The 40-year-old presenter has confirmed she’ll rejoin her co-star Matt Baker on the topical magazine show from the beginning of next week for just two days to start with following the birth of her son Teddy, whom she has with her husband Charlie Thomson, in January.
Speaking on the show on Friday (21.04.17), she said in a video clip: “Hello everybody! Yes, I’m coming back to the one show on Monday. Matt hopefully you’ll after me because I’ll be feeling a bit nervous. Excited to see everybody. The whole team, but it will be hard to leave Little ted as every parent I’m sure understands. So yeah I’ll be back on Monday two days a week to begin with and we’ll see how we go. BBC One, 7pm, I’ll see you there.”
The brunette beauty announced she and her spouse had become parents for the first time four months ago when she phoned into the studio to share the news live on television.
She said at the time: “We’re absolutely delighted – we’re completely in love with him.”
Talking about the “straightforward” birth, she added: “It was all very straightforward, Charlie was with me, mum and dad were in the waiting room – because we didn’t know whether it was a boy or a girl. So that was a lovely bit of news. The last four days have been heaven – we’re in a bubble, the three of us, and it’s just the best time.”
Alex confirmed she was expecting her first child with her spouse – whom she married last year at Cardiff Castle in Wales – at the beginning of September last year and had only been on maternity leave for 20 days before she gave birth.
The presenter’s baby news came just a few months after she admitted she was worried she may have left it too late to have kids as her mother went through early menopause.
She said: “It’s useful to know because we shouldn’t hang about, but at the end of the day, what can you do? You hope it will happen. It might, it might not.
“The more pressure you put on yourself, the worse it becomes, because the one thing you want gets further out of reach. I haven’t chosen to leave it until I’m 39 – that is the situation I have found myself in.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ferne McCann wants to get a degree in art.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star has just finished shooting a film across the pond, has carved out a career in presenting and is now keen to go back to school.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she explained: “My next thing is I want to get a degree in art. I see myself a bit like Emma Watson. She did the ‘Harry Potter’ thing and then she went back to school and that’s what I’d like to do.”
However, for now, the 26-year-old beauty is tied up working on ‘This Morning’ and has admitted she’d jump at the chance to take over the main show if Holly Willoughby was to ever leave – although she doesn’t think she’d be able to do such a good job.
She said: “I love working there. I get to do such a variety of things. I’m going to Cannes to cover the film festival for them soon and I was filming with sharks last week. Who’s going to turn down a job like that? It would be massive shoes to fill. You see Rylan Clark-Neal sometimes stepping in and he does such a great job, so it can be done.”
Ferne hasn’t had the easiest of times recently as she’s jumped dumped her boyfriend Arthur Collins after police made it known that they wanted to speak to him in relation to the shocking acid attack that took place at Mangle in Dalston, east London, last week.
Upon hearing that officers wanted to speak to Arthur about the attack, which saw footballer Jamie O’Hara’s cousin injured and a model suffer chemical burns to her arms, Ferne begged Arthur to “co-operate” with investigators.
A representative for the star said in a statement: “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.
“As much as anybody she wants to know the truth and urges Arthur to co-operate fully with the police and attend a police station immediately.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘Coroner’ has been axed.
The popular daytime programme cast have received rave reviews from viewers since it first hit television screens in 2015 but it seems BBC producers don’t have the same opinion as they have decided to give it the chop after just two series.
The channel announced the news in a statement to the RadioTimes.com on Friday (21.04.17): “After two fantastic series, ‘The Coroner’ won’t be returning as we look for opportunities to bring through new programmes for the BBC1 daytime audience. We’d like to thank the brilliant cast and production team for all of their hard work.”
The drama stars Claire Goose as single mum Jane Kennedy who returns to her hometown Lighthaven in Devon and is reunited with her former childhood sweetheart Detective Sergeant Davey Higgins (Matt Bardock) as they investigate murders.
The writer Sally Abbott previously said that she based Jane and Davey on the sexual tension between Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracey in 1949’s ‘Adam’s Rib’.
The shock news hasn’t gone down too well with viewers and some die-hard fans have even started an online petition to bring it back later this year.
And the show’s writer Sally Wainwright is on the same page as she has admitted she had so much more content up her sleeve that she wanted to bring to screen.
She said: “I’m sure every writer feels this but The Coroner doesn’t feel dead to me. There are so many more stories and God how I love our characters.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James ‘Arg’ Argent has reportedly been dropped from ‘The Only Way is Essex’.
The 29-year-old reality TV star met with bosses on Thursday (21.04.2017) and was reportedly told that he wasn’t allowed to return to the current series of the ITVBe show because they were worried it would throw him back off the bandwagon.
A source told The Sun Online: “Arg loves ‘TOWIE’ and was hoping he would make a cameo in the final few episodes of the series. But bosses believe after a lengthy stint in a rehab, being rushed back into the fold would not be in the best interests of Arg and other cast members. He was also told a full-time return is unlikely unless there was a dramatic improvement in his lifestyle.”
Viewers will no doubt be devastated when they hear of the news as the loveable funnyman has appeared on the show for seven years and has become a fan favourite.
He was last seen on screens at the end of 2016 and took it upon himself in February to check into a rehab facility in Thailand while his ex-girlfriend Lydia Bright was competing on the winter sports show ‘The Jump’ in Austria.
His friend Jack Tweedy said: “Arg is really loving it out there. He said he’s been doing loads of stuff like Muay Thai boxing, jungle trekking, abseiling down waterfalls and zip lining. He’s been eating really healthy food and he’s lost more than a stone. Arg is in a really good place at the moment and I hope he keeps it up for his sake and his family’s sake.”
Although he hasn’t been seen on screens, Arg – who was also suspended from the programme in 2014 after testing positive for cocaine – hasn’t been forgotten as his name has cropped up in some scenes after Gemma Collins mentioned him.
The show may have lost Arg but they look set to gain a newbie as ‘Love Island’ winner Cara De La Hoyde is in talks to join as a full-time cast member.
And she’ll no doubt be involved in some major storylines as she’s just split from her boyfriend Nathan Massey, who she met on the dating show last year.
A source explained: “Cara is expected to sign on the dotted line – she has got lots to say and ‘TOWIE’ bosses know that fans are really interested in her relationship with Nathan and their split. Everyone is desperate to find out the real reason why she split with Nathan and by joining the show she promises to reveal just that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Britain’s Got Talent’s Alesha Dixon thinks mean judge Simon Cowell is actually a “big softy”.
The 38-year-old singer recently branded the tough-talking show boss an “annoying older brother” but it seems their relationship has changed over the recent weeks as she has admitted he actually has a “really big heart” and can be sensitive when he wants to be.
She explained: “He’s actually a big softy and he has a really big heart.”
The brunette beauty may be busy with ‘BGT’ auditions around the country but she still managed to find time to take her three-year-old daughter Azura to Disneyland Paris for a charity event in celebration of the magical amusement park’s momentous 25th anniversary.
The is the fourth year that the theme park has teamed up with British Airways to fly children from the charities ‘Body and Soul’, ‘Fight for Peace’ and ‘Oasis Children’s Venture’ out to France.
Since the partnership began back in 2010, the company has raised more than £14.5 million to help sick children around the world.
Alesha said: “It was a lovely day for all involved. I especially loved chatting to the children, they were very sweet. Azura had a fabulous day too. The charities are incredible and the children that I met so far have been so sweet.
“I’m so happy for them for a lot of them it is their first time – they are going through certain things in their life that and the fact that they get to come here and have fun and let go of all of that and just be kids is lovely and it has been a real pleasure to meet all of them.”
As well as trying out the rides and attractions within Disneyland, Alesha also took the time to offer some advice to the young people in a bid it’ll help them reach for their dreams.
She said: “The most important thing is self belief. Never be afraid of hard work and when things don’t work out for any particular reason try and learn from it and become stronger as a result.
“The power of your attitude towards something will usually determine the outcome.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Caprice underwent a seven-hour operation to have her brain tumour removed last month.
The 45-year-old model was diagnosed with a benign growth in February after she suffered blurred vision and headaches while competing on the winter sports show ‘The Jump’ and has nothing but praise for the programme because it essentially saved her life.
Speaking on ‘Loose Women’ on Friday (21.04.17), she said: “I had a seven-and-a-half hour operation. I went into theatre and it was like a party. There were 11 people in there. I thought this was the right thing for my family and I didn’t have the support system because I didn’t tell anyone … I just remember being in my bed and praying to my dad in heaven. I just wanted to wake up and be OK. It was the first time that it really hit me.”
The blonde bombshell was forced to come to terms with the news on her own as she was in Austria for the show without her husband Ty but admitted she couldn’t stop thinking about her three-year-old sons Jax and Jett and whether she was going to die.
She explained: “I went to the hospital and the nurse came in and said: ‘Oh you’re fine.’ And I said: ‘OK, let’s go. We have a live show.’ And she said: ‘No you have to see the neurosurgeon.’ And I said: ‘What are you talking about? I need to go.’ Anyway, the nurse came in and she sat down and she said: ‘Don’t be alarmed but you have a brain tumour.’ Obviously I started to break down and cry hysterically. I just said: ‘Am I going to die?’ That’s the first thing you think about, I’m 45 now but I had waited for the right partner at 39 and I waited for my kids. It’s terrifying and I’m relatively healthy and I’ve never done drugs and I couldn’t believe what they were telling me. For me, I just wanted to be strong for my kids because they’re so young. They’re three. I wanted to be strong for my partner.”
Caprice then decided to return to the UK in order to have her operation to remove the tumour and can’t thank bosses of the Channel 4 show enough for being so understanding.
She said: “Channel 4 were amazing. They said: ‘Forget about the show, you’re going home.’ So I went home and I told Ty my partner. I didn’t want to tell my mum straight away because she’s not in the greatest of health. We found the best neurosurgeon and we went to see him because I didn’t know if it was benign or if it was cancerous.
“I was in the dark so it was a really scary time for me. I went to see this neurosurgeon and I had every test under the sun. I had my whole body scanned again. And he said it is benign but it is a grower so they needed to get it out.”
The surgeons successfully removed the thumb-sized tumour and now Caprice will be monitored regularly to ensure it doesn’t grow back.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Emmerdale’ bosses are set to bring a “heavily-tattooed” person to the soap.
Bosses of the popular ITV show are looking for an “alternative person” to join the cast as they believe the edgy look will “terrify” the older members of the village – even if the mysterious new addition turns out to have “a heart of gold”.
Soap boss Iain MacLeod said: “[We’re looking for] some sort of heavily tattooed, body pierced, alternative person. Just because our characters are all, in their own way, ordinary, I don’t imagine any of them have any intimate piercings or secret tattoos. I just want someone covered head to toe in tattoos who will terrify the older characters but turn out to have a heart of gold.”
And Iain says he’s looking forward to what he has planned for the soap in the future, as he teased “really funny stuff” for the villagers in the upcoming weeks.
Speaking about upcoming storylines – which are being kept under wraps to avoid spoilers – Iain hinted: “I’m a big fan of the funny stuff. Soap, for me, has always been really heart-breaking stuff mixed with classic Northern humour.
“We’ve got tons of really funny stuff coming up in the future. It feels like never a week goes by that there isn’t some twist or surprise, or something new.”
‘Emmerdale’ – which has been nominated for a BAFTA for Best Soap and Continuing Drama at next month’s award’s ceremony – has been praised for its hard hitting storylines, which most recently saw John Middleton’s character Ashley Thomas lose his battle with dementia.
Iain told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I feel like we’ve got a really good balance of heart-breaking stories like Ashley’s dementia and other stories coming up like Faith’s breast cancer.”
Meanwhile, John – who has played Ashley on the soap for 20 years – recently admitted filming his last scenes was an emotional experience, and revealed staff on the set were distraught as he was prepped for filming.
He said prior to his final scenes airing earlier this month: “It’s going to be a tearjerker for everyone. Tears were pouring down everybody’s faces while we were filming it. Someone was leaning over me to check costume and make-up and her tears were dripping on my cheek. Even the medical adviser was crying.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Great British Bake Off’ will run for 75 minutes per episode.
The popular baking show was snatched by Channel 4 in a mega-money deal late last year and, although fans were initially worried that the regular breaks would mean that the programme would be much shorter than the BBC version, bosses at the network have confirmed that they’ve decided to keep the content to an hour long.
A spokesperson for the show said: “We have always promised viewers that they would not be short-changed on the show, even though we are an ad-funded channel. The programme will run for 75 minutes to allow that.”
Not only have producers made a conscious effort to keep the running time the same as the BBC but they’ve also decided to keep some of the show’s main format elements.
Sources have claimed the theme tune, as well as the filming location of Welford Park in Berkshire, will remain the same so as to keep loyal ‘GBBO’ fans from switching off.
An insider said previously “While Channel 4 are keen to put their own stamp on the show, they are not trying to reinvent the wheel.
“They want to attract new legions of Bake Off fans, but also don’t want to dishearten those loyal viewers who have been watching it for years and are planning to keep doing so despite the change in channel.
“Viewers will get the familiar tent set-up, in the beautiful grounds of Welford Park, and the same theme tune they’ve been hearing since it was first launched in 2010.”
And, although the theme tune and filming location are staying the same, loyal fans will still have to make some room for change as Paul Hollywood will be the only returning member of the hosting team.
Previously, Paul appeared as a judge on the show and was joined by Mary Berry, whilst presenting due Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins took on hosting duties.
Now, Paul will be joined by Prue Leith, and the show will be hosted by Noel Fielding and Sandy Toksvig.
Shooting for the new series of ‘The Great British Bake Off’ is set to start later this month.
