OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Hagan has started the process of removing the tattoo of her ex-boyfriend Kyle Christie from the back of her neck.
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star has taken to social media to document the first step on her journey to remove the body art of her ex-boyfriend, which will take eight sessions to completely get rid of, after the former couple split following their appearance on MTV’s ‘Just Tattoo of Us’, which saw the reality star get the inking.
Speaking on her Twitter account about the procedure to undo the permanent marking, the 24-year-old wrote: “We’re one session down and around 8 more to go! (sic).”
However, the reality star has joked the portrait of her previous partner now looks like he has a “skin condition” because of the impact of the laser treatment.
She continued: “He currently looks like he has a skin condition. Thanks @skinsandneedles for the laser (sic).”
Holly and Kyle were invited to take part in the series by her friend and former co-star Charlotte Crosby who co-hosts the programme with her boyfriend Stephen Bear.
During the episode Kyle decided to tattoo his own face onto the bottom of Holly’s neck, and it has been reported his actions have caused Holly and Charlotte to fall out.
Speaking previously, the 26-year-old television personality and presenter said: “After Holly found out what her tattoo was and went home she didn’t actually speak to us properly for like three days.
“Anyone who watches the episode will freak out. Because if their boyfriends ever did this to them let’s just say they wouldn’t be your boyfriend for much longer.”
Since filming the episode Holly and Kyle have called time on their romance, however it is rumoured Holly knew she wanted to end her relationship before appearing on the show.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lee Ryan was asked to be in ‘EastEnders’ when he was just 16 years old.
The Blue singer will make his debut in Albert Square next week as bar manager Woody, but he could have been a familiar face to viewers long before now if the 33-year-old hunk hadn’t opted for a pop career instead.
He said: “(Casting executive) Julia Crampsie cast me for ‘Holby City’ years ago and I stayed in touch with her.
“When I was 16, she rang my mum and said she had a part for me on ‘EastEnders’ and my mum said, ‘Sorry, he’s just joined a band and signed to EMI’. Julia told her, well if it doesn’t work out, give me a call.’
“That band was Blue and it did work out.”
When it came to landing the role of Woody, Lee wasn’t even told he had an audition until a few minutes before, but he was happy to have it landed on him so suddenly as it meant he didn’t have the time to get nervous.
He said: “Julia didn’t tell me I was auditioning. She said to come in for a meeting with Sean O’Connor (executive producer), who I’d never met before.
“Then she turned around to me and said, ‘By the way, there is a part for you and this is actually an audition – there’s the monologue, you’ve got 10 minutes.’
“[But] it was actually good because it didn’t give me any time to have any nerves. I just thought, ‘Alright then – come on, let’s do it.’
“Then the next day, she rang me up and said I’d got the part.”
When he called his loved ones to tell them about his new job, they were all thrilled.
Lee told Heat magazine: “I was just walking into a boxing class [when I got the call] and I was jumping up and down.
“I rang my mum and she burst out crying, bless her. I’ve told the boys from Blue and they are all massively supportive.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Bradley Walsh is to undergo an operation to help with his chronic blepharitis.
The 56-year-old game show host suffers from the incurable chronic illness, which has symptoms ranging from inflammation of the eyelids, crusty eyelashes sticking together and a burning, gritty sensation in eye.
Bradley, who also suffers from hay fever, appeared on ITV’s ‘Loose Women’ on Tuesday (11.04.17), where he explained:”I have to take one 10ml tablet of loratadine a day, otherwise I really struggle.”
The ‘Chase’ host says his blepharitis is so serious that he has resulted to finding a more permanent solution.
He added: “I get bad blepharitis as well, I’ve got to have my eyes operated on to sort that out.”
Hay fever is a condition that affects an estimated 10 million people in England, and although it can affect people at any age, it’s more common in teenagers, something Bradley can identify with as he has suffered with the condition since he was a teen.
When asked about what kick-starts his hay fever, he said: “Cats, horses, dogs, dust. It really affects it however, if I take 10 ml of loratadine a day I’m fine.”
His health problems resulted in him sporting glasses on the show, a look not many fans will be used to and that when he is on ‘The Chase’ people ask him about his eye condition.
He added: “People don’t realise I’ve got seriously bad blepharitis.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi knew his time as the Time Lord was coming to an end.
The 58-year-old actor has portrayed the time-travelling scientist since 2013 after he replaced Matt Smith as the titular character but he has admitted he always knew his stint would be relatively short because he doesn’t like to do one thing for too long.
Speaking to Radio Times magazine, he said: “I’ve never done anything for any length of time. Even ‘The Thick of It’ was only 20 episodes over four years. I’ll have done 40 episodes of ‘Doctor Who’. I don’t think if I stayed on I’d be able to think of another way to say ‘this could be the end of civilisation as we know it’. I’ve always gone from one job to the other and seen what was around the corner and I want to get back to that.”
Peter confirmed he was stepping down as the iconic character earlier this year – shortly after Steven Moffatt announced he was leaving as the show runner – but the cast have teased that the forthcoming series 10, which will hit television screens on Saturday (15.04.17), will be one of the best ones yet.
Pearl Mackie, who plays the Doctor’s new gay companion Bill, said: “Series 10 is a lot to do with the relationship between the Doctor, Bill and Nardole [an alien played by Matt Lucas]. They’re all very different.”
Meanwhile, ‘Broadchurch’ creator Chris Chibnall – who will take over from Moffatt later this year – has already started work on the next series but is yet to choose who will take over from Peter as the titular character.
He said previously: “We’ll cast the role in the traditional way: write the script, then go and find the best person for that part in that script. You couldn’t go out and cast an abstract idea.”
Some viewers have called for a woman to be cast as the Doctor and, although he’s not giving it much thought at the moment, Chibnall has “a very clear sense” of what he wants.
He said: “The creative possibilities are endless, but I have a very clear sense of what we’re going to do, without even knowing who’s going to play the part.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Cleese is set to star in his first BBC sitcom since ‘Fawlty Towers’.
The 77-year-old actor hasn’t been seen on the channel since the comedy, in which he portrayed mega snob Basil Fawlty, came to an end in 1979 but all of that is about to change after he secured a part in the new BBC2 comedy ‘Edith’.
John has been cast as Phil, an old boyfriend of the titular heroine (played by Alison Steadman), who dreams of marrying the love of his life and moving out into the sun.
BBC head of comedy Shane Allen told the RadioTimes,com: “It’s a huge pleasure to welcome John Cleese back to the land of BBC sitcom – his last one did alright.”
Not much is known about the sitcom but it’s thought filming will kick off in June.
John’s new role will no doubt bring him even more attention from the younger generation, which will unlikely sit well with him because he hates being pestered.
He said previously: “I do get very irritated by people who come up and say, ‘Can I have a picture with you?’ Now this is someone you have never seen before in your life, who taps you and says, ‘Can I have a picture with you?’ I kind of say, ‘What? To commemorate the fact that we met three seconds ago.’ I think it is the celebrity culture. So I very nicely say, ‘Sorry I don’t do that’. And sometimes I say, ‘I don’t do that but why don’t you ask the guy over there?’ Because if somebody went up to you in the street and said, ‘Could I have a picture with you?’ You would say, ‘Urgh.’ ”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lee Ryan has filmed his first scenes for his role in ‘EastEnders’.
It was only announced that the 33-year-old singer was joining the long-running soap earlier this month but there has been no time wasted as he’s already shot his debut as bar manager Woody and bosses have teased that he will “ruffle some feathers.”
His arrival will hit television screens next week but details on how and why he rocks up in Albert Square and takes over the Queen Victoria pub while Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) is away looking after his daughter Nancy in Bulgaria are being kept secret.
Lee said recently: “Woody is the best role I could have wished to play.
“He’s a brilliant character and it’s clear he’s been leading a full and colourful life. I can’t wait for people to see what he’s like for themselves.
“Everyone at ‘EastEnders’ has been so welcoming. I know some of the cast already so I’m sure we’re going to have a lot of fun.”
And, although he’s only just joined the programme, it looks like the Blue singer has already proved himself as executive producer Sean O’Connor is impressed.
He said: “I’m delighted to welcome Lee to Walford as ‘Woody’ Woodward.
“Woody is a man who has worked hard and played hard in bars, clubs and pubs around the world and has finally decided to stop wandering and put down some roots.
“He’s going to ruffle some feathers and obviously break some hearts so there’s a great deal to look forward to as soon as he burst onto the square. Lee is a perfect casting for Albert Square and we knew straight away we wanted him for the role.”
Lee isn’t the only member of the boy band to have a career change as his band mate Duncan James is now a regular in the Channel 4 rival soap ‘Hollyoaks’.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Crown’ has pulled in the most nominations for this year’s British Academy Television Awards.
The royal drama, which is aired on Netflix, has the chance to dominate the forthcoming event after it secured nods in five different categories including best drama and best supporting actors for Jared Harris, Vanessa Kirby and John Lithgow, while lead star Claire Foy received a nomination for the second year running for her depictation of Queen Elizabeth II.
Feature-length drama ‘Damilola, Our Loved Boy’ followed closely behind with three nominations in for best lead actor thanks to Babou Ceesay while Wunmi Mosaku has been recognised in the best supporting actress category for her portrayal of Gloria Taylor in the 2016 TV movie.
David Attenborough’s highly successful ‘Planet Earth II’ has unsurprisingly made its way into the best specialist factual category but will need to beat off stiff competition from ‘Alan Bennett’s Diaries’, ‘Attenborough’s Life that Glows’ and ‘Grayson Perry: All Man’.
‘Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’ has wiggled its way into the best entertainment category alongside ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, ‘Michael McIntyre’s Big Show’ and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
BBC drama ‘Fleabag’ has received three nominations, including best female performance in a comedy for Olivia Colman (Godmother) and Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag) but will need to fight off the likes of ‘Happy Valley’, which has also secured three nods at this year’s event.
Benedict Cumberbatch portrayal of Richard III of England in ‘The Hollow Crown: The Wars of the Roses’ has catapulted him on to the best leading actor list, while Adeel Akhtar, Babou Ceesay and Robbie Coltrane will also be nipping at his heels in the hope of bagging the prestigious gong.
Sarah Lancashire has bagged a nomination in the best leading actress category for her role in ‘Happy Valley’ but will go head-to-head with Jodie Comer and Nikki Amuka-Bird.
‘Casualty’, ‘EastEnders’, ‘Emmerdale’ and Hollyoaks’ have all made it into the best soap and continuing drama category but rival show ‘Coronation Street’ was noticeably absent.
This year’s ceremony will be held at London’s Royal Festival Hall on May 14.

OHMYGOSSIP — Pearl Mackie “almost ran away” from her ‘Doctor Who’ audition.
The 29-year-old actress plays Bill Potts – the Doctor’s latest companion – in the new series of the iconic sci-fi series, but Pearl has admitted she nearly spurned the biggest opportunity of her career because she was so anxious.
She told the Radio Times: “Just walking through the foyer was nerve-racking.
“I rocked up in my Afro and bright yellow trainers and a baggy T-shirt into this big glossy octagon foyer and they told me to wait in a room till they were ready for me … I almost ran away.”
Pearl’s on-screen character is, in fact, the Time Lord’s first openly gay companion on the show.
And ‘Doctor Who’ showrunner Steven Moffat recently admitted that a character like Bill has been “too long coming”.
He explained: “I think people would say, ‘Why the hell did you not get around to it earlier?’ – and I would absolutely agree with them.”
Steven said Bill’s sexuality is “not a major plot strand” in the show and he also admitted he was surprised by the amount of attention it had attracted.
Steven said: “This wasn’t, as some people thought, some kind of press release we made – it was just mentioned by Pearl in an interview. I didn’t even know it was happening. I saw it on the internet!
“It’s not a major plot strand. It’s not even a minor plot strand. It’s just there. She’s not ‘the gay companion’ – she’s Bill Potts. She barely bothers to mention the fact. It only comes up when it’s relevant.”
Steven, 55, also said it’s important to not make a big deal out of Bill being gay.
He reflected: “It’s important that we don’t make a fuss about this in a children’s show which talks directly to them.
“We don’t young children who are boring and normal and happen to fancy their own gender, we don’t want to make them feel as though they’re some kind of special case because that’s frightening.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gordon Ramsay has claimed he was asked to do the ‘Great British Bake Off’.
The 50-year-old celebrity chef has revealed he was approached by bosses at Channel 4 after they snatched the baking series from the BBC last year but he turned down the offer because he didn’t want to be Mary Berry’s “sloppy seconds.”
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph newspaper, he said when asked if he’d ever tame his wild ways: “F**k, no! Tell me if I am, because I’ll get the f**k out of here. I’ll go back to Channel 4. They did ask me for ‘…Bake Off’, anyway.
“I’m not very good at sloppy seconds. I don’t want to be the male version of Mary Berry. I’m 30 years younger and more wrinkly than her anyway.
“I think [as] with ‘Top Gear’, we have an asset that is a crown jewel within a network. 14.5 million [viewers]: there will never be another cookery show with that number, ever again. For me, ‘…Bake Off’ is like the Queen: it’s something to be respected, listened to and cared for. Not sold off.”
The 82-year-old baking legend walked away from the popular programme “out of loyalty” to the BBC just days after it was confirmed Channel 4 had taken over.
Producers were then tasked with the challenge of finding someone to replace Mary and work alongside Paul Hollywood – who agreed to stay with the show following an impressive lump sum – and, after months of searching, they secured Prue Leith.
Although the 77-year-old restaurateur was thrilled with her new role, she was forced to accept round the clock protection out of fear that she would be “trolled.”
She said: “On the day that they announced who the line-up was, they wanted to send a close protection officer. My husband and a bunch of friends were going out to dinner to a really nice restaurant in London. I said, ‘Don’t be ridiculous, we absolutely do not need a copper standing there looking.’
“But they said, ‘No, no, no, we really must just to be on the safe side.’ What did they think is going to happen? I’m not likely to be trolled. This is a nice family show.”
However, the ‘Great British Menu’ critic had no other choice but to accept the security measures after she noticed the protection team had ignored her refusal and had already pitched up outside her Cotswolds home.
The ‘Great British Bake Off’ will return to screens later this year with Paul and Prue as the judges and Noel Fielding and Sandi Tosvig – who have replaced loveable presenting duo Mel and Sue – as the new hosts.
