OHMYGOSSIP — Jedward’s father is critically ill in hospital.
John Grimes, the father of twins John and Edward Grimes, is currently in intensive care while he battles a mystery illness but their mother Susanna Condron said he didn’t want the stars to know about his hospitalisation while they were competing on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
Speaking after the pair came second on the show on Friday’s (03.02.17) finale, Susanna told the Daily Star: “The last week has been very stressful for Jedward’s family.
“John Snr has been in intensive care. He insisted Edward and John must not be informed about his critical condition.
“He stated he would not jeopardise their chances of reaching the final as there would have been legions of disappointed fans.”
Meanwhile, speaking during their exit interview – before they were informed of their father’s illness – Jedward, 25, said: “We’re so happy we came second. Last time we came third and this time we came second so it’s a personal best.”
Referring to winner Coleen Nolan, they said: “We can’t wait for Coleen’s book, ‘I’ve Lived With Jedward’.”
And they added that it was “great to come back as an All Star”.
Speaking about the drama between them and the other housemates, Jedward said: “We came in later and everyone had already bonded.
“We were more outspoken this series. I think a lot of the housemates were pre-judging us. We were very innocent last time and this time we were bad-ass rock stars.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kellie Maloney is finding it “hard” to find love.
The 64-year-old reality star – who was known as Frank before undergoing gender reassignment in 2014 – has been on a number of dates she thought went well, but thinks guys don’t want a relationship with her in case people “judge” them.
She said: “Dating is a sad topic for me. I’m having problems with love. I want to date, of course, but it’s hard. I’ve been on a few good dinner dates with men but when they realise who I am, they make up an excuse and leave or never contact me again.
“I think they’re scared of being judged or it’ my history in boxing – I don’t know.”
And Kellie would like to date a younger man, but thinks it would embarass her daughters, Emma, 39, Sophie, 21, and 15-year-old Libby.
She explained to Closer magazine: “The problem is that men my age freak out when they find out who I am and it cares them off. I’ve thought about younger men – I was asked out by a 28 year old the other day – but I have to be respectful to my daughters. I don’t want them to feel embarrassed.”
Kellie recently suffered two setbacks when she was rejected by a dating agency and the guy she dined with on ‘Celebrity First Dates’ refused to allow their meeting to be shown on TV.
She said: “I was the only person whose date on ‘First Dates’ wasn’t aired.
“The man said he didn’t want it to be shown because he was embarrassed.
“And then I signed up for a dating site but when they realised who I was they said, ‘Sorry we can’t help you find what you’re looking for.’ ”

OHMYGOSSIP — Coleen Nolan has won ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
The ‘Loose Women’ star was crowned the winner of the reality TV show on Friday’s (03.02.17) finale, when she beat off competition from Jedward, who came second.
Coleen was announced as the champion after what host Emma Willis described as an “incredibly close vote” between her and Jedward, following the evictions of finalists Kim Woodburn, Bianca Gascoigne, Nicola McLean and James Cosmo.
Speaking during their exit interview, Jedward said: “We’re so happy we came second. Last time we came third and this time we came second so it’s a personal best.
“We can’t wait for Coleen’s book, ‘I’ve Lived With Jedward’.”
They added that it was “great to come back as an All Star”.
Speaking about the drama between them and the other housemates, Jedward said: “We came in later and everyone had already bonded.
“We were more outspoken this series. I think a lot of the housemates were pre-judging us. We were very innocent last time and this time we were bad-ass rock stars.”
Earlier, Bianca was the first celebrity to leave the house during Friday’s show and revealed she had split with her boyfriend CJ Meeks and wants to date Jamie O’Hara.
She said: “I expected to have fun, enjoy my time in there. I always wanted to do ‘CBB’ and I was amazed I got picked. Obviously, I found Jamie and the rest was history.
“It wasn’t a showmance. I wouldn’t put myself in that situation.”
“I would like to see how it goes. We were under a microscope in there. Everyone wants to say their bit. I want us to go out, try to enjoy life after Big Brother. Hopefully we’ll go on our first date. We don’t know where yet.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James ‘Arg’ Argent is taking a break from ‘The Only Way Is Essex’.
The 29-year-old reality TV star, who previously battled with his weight, spent time in rehab and admitted to being “badly depressed”, has reportedly decided to take some time off from filming the show in order to focus on his wellbeing.
A source told The Sun Online: “Arg doesn’t feel ready to return to ‘TOWIE’. He wants to get himself in a stronger position before he commits to sharing his life on camera again and filming full time.
“He wants to return when he is able to give it 100 per cent.”
Back in 2015, Arg was suspended from the ITV Be show for failing to turn up to filming amid rumours of drug and alcohol abuse and he admitted his best friend Mark Wright threatened to ban him from his wedding to Michelle Keegan if he didn’t turn his life around.
He said: “I’m embarrassed to say this but so many people tried [to help] and got pushed away.
“Mark told me I wasn’t invited to his wedding if I didn’t change. When I went into rehab he got in touch because he was so proud of me.
“Underneath everything I was badly depressed. I was so anxious and tired.”
“At that point I was hiding from everyone in my flat. Lydia [Bright] would beg me to open the door. My mum would come round crying and I’d pretend I wasn’t there. I just couldn’t face anyone.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Shayne Ward has become a children’s entertainer for his ‘Coronation Street’ co-stars’ kids.
The 32-year-old actor has worked wonders on his fellow cast mate Catherine Tydesley’s 22-month-old son Alfie after he was “hired” to put on “private concerts” for him over Christmas, which has led to other colleagues booking the dark-haired hunk – who was crowned champion of ‘The X Factor’ in 2005 – to sing to their broods too.
Speaking about Shayne’s additional part-time job to The Sun Online, Catherine said: “Alfie is a little obsessed with Shayne singing. So over Christmas, we hired Shayne to come and do some private concerts for him. My Alfie really does love him – he’s like a little groupie.
“Every time we’re in the car, he says, ‘Shayne, Shayne,’ so I have to play his album so he will fall asleep. When he first met Shayne, he was awestruck.
“Shayne just held onto his hand and sang to him, and Alfie just stared back mesmerised.
“He’s amazing with kids. Some of the other ‘Corrie’ cast are actually going to hire him to do the same. Kids are just fascinated by his singing.”
And Catherine – who plays the role of Eva Price in the longstanding soap – has revealed the programme’s cast nickname Shayne “Daddy Day Care”.
She explained: “We’ll have to start calling him Daddy Day Care soon.”
Meanwhile, Shayne – who was cast as Aidan Turner in the soap in 2014 – is rumoured to be returning to the music industry in the future and the ‘Coronation Street’ creators support him “fully”.
Speaking previously about the ‘That’s My Goal’ hitmaker’s future projects, a source said: “Shayne can’t wait to start recording his tracks and show the nation was he’s got up his sleeve.
“He has chatted to his ‘Coronation Street’ co-stars about the music and they are all fully behind him. This will in no way impact his ‘Coronation Street’ commitments and he’s certain he can juggle both.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Davis has booked her baby son’s first holiday.
The 23-year-old actress only gave birth to Caben-Albi George three weeks ago but she’s already decided to whisk him off on his first trip abroad because she’s been dreaming of the day she could hop on a plane with her child “for so long.”
Taking to her Twitter account, she said: “So excited Booking Caben’s first holidayyyy. Were all to excited for this. To cute Been looking forward to this for SO long (sic)”
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star certainly deserves a break as she’s had a tough pregnancy last year with acute morning sickness, hospital dashes and a public feud with her ex-boyfriend Jeremy McConnell, who she split from in May following a series of rows.
The brunette beauty hasn’t heard from her former flame – who she met in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house – since she fell pregnant with her little one but she’s still agreed to have the DNA test carried out on him to prove the Irish hunk is his father.
She said recently: “I haven’t heard from Jeremy directly for nine months. That’s [the paternity test] in the process of being arranged, but any tests that happen will be dealt with privately. I’m a new mum and dealing with all that brings, so I will deal with everything in my own time and I won’t feel pressured. My priority is bring up my son.”
Although the 26-year-old heartthrob is adamant he has nothing to do with Caben, the Stephanie is “100 per cent” certain he’s the father of her child.
She explained: “My son is 100 per cent Jeremy’s baby – and a paternity test will prove it. Jeremy said a long time ago that I wasn’t even pregnant, and then that he wasn’t sure if he was the dad. He had to stand by that throughout my pregnancy.”
Stephanie still hasn’t decided whether she will allow Jeremy – who she met in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house in January last year – to see the little one in the future.

OHMYGOSSIP — Calum Best is “crazy ill.”
The 35-year-old actor was forced to pull out of his appearance on ‘Lorraine’ on Thursday (02.01.17) and his gig on ‘Big Brother’s Bit on the Side’ the night before because he was struck down with a mystery illness and didn’t feel up to interviews.
Taking to Twitter, he wrote: “Sincerest apologises to @bbuk and @ITVLorraine been crazy I’ll since leaving the house. Will make it up (sic)”
The hunky star will now appear on ‘Lorraine’ on Monday (06.02.17) to talk about his shock exit from the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house earlier this week.
Lorraine Kelly announced that Calum had cancelled his gig at the last minute yesterday and producers were forced to fill the time with other things.
The Scottish host – who appeared to be slightly confused – told viewers: “Calum’s called and he’s not well, well someone else called for him. We wish him all the best!”
Although the 57-year-old presenter didn’t seem overly convinced that the heartthrob was telling the truth, it’s thought his ill health could have something to do with the ear infection he’s been battling.
Calum – who is the son of the late George Best – revealed he’d been fighting ear ache during his time in the infamous abode during his exit interview with Emma Willis earlier this week and is convinced the excruciating pain had caused him to lose his temper with housemates Jedward.
He said: “I think the whole experience was starting to drain me and I was exhausted by the past few days.
“We had a task and people were telling me for the past two weeks they hadn’t seen me as I’d been so boring. I couldn’t [tell them] that for the past eight to ten days I had an ear infection that was killing me and I wanted to sleep it off.
“They obviously don’t show those kind of things but it was wrecking me. I felt if I wasn’t aired I wasn’t getting much time. So that started to frustrate me and play on my mind.
“Jedward, bless them, they are so good in so many ways but at points when I’m trying to sleep at two in the morning and they’re singing at the top of their lungs.
“I don’t want to give anybody grief but there’s a few times you start saying… they enjoy themselves but I feel sometimes they don’t give that respect back and I think to live in a happy house there has to be mutual respect all around.
“That night I lost it [with them] which obviously didn’t work in my favour as I can tell they are very liked. They are smart, they are successful. I can tell by talking to them they run a good business but when it comes to being people, living in a house and respecting, I found they lacked a bit of it with me, personally, and I think amongst the house, but overall I can’t give them grief as they do well for themselves.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Scarlett Moffatt has reportedly split from her boyfriend Luke Crodden after a year of dating.
The ‘Googlebox’ star has called time on her relationship with the bearded hunk and despite being heartbroken she is focusing all of her energy on her work to take her mind off the break up.
A source told The Sun Online: “Scarlett is sad about her break up with Luke but she really hopes they can remain friends. It’s a positive thing that Scarlett’s schedule is so busy at the moment as it will take her mind off the split.
“At the moment she needs to concentrate on her career.
“After all, she’s got plenty of time to settle down in the future.”
The 26-year-old beauty moved from her hometown in Newcastle in north east England to be with Luke, and their split will no doubt come as a surprise to fans as Scarlett was reportedly planning to secure her own TV series based on the couple’s lives.
A source recently said: “Scarlett is on cloud nine. She was a homebody but she’s always wanted to be in the limelight. She’s determined to make the most of her title as Queen of the Jungle and has started surrounding herself with people who can help take her to the top of the showbiz world. She’s got lots of new people in her PR and management team, who are setting up many meetings.”
And it seemed Luke was determined to do all he could to ensure the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ winner got what she wanted.
At the time, the insider explained: “Luke appreciates that Scarlett is the star of their relationship but if there was an opportunity to work together, he’d jump at the chance. For now, they’re looking forward to a quiet Christmas surrounded by family.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kris Marshall’s future roles will be determined by his children.
The 43-year-old actor has just turned his back on ‘Death in Paradise’, in which he portrayed DI Humphrey Goodman, after four years and, although he thoroughly enjoyed his time on the murder drama series, he’s keen to land a part in a kids’ movie so that his four-year-old son Thomas and baby daughter Elsie can enjoy it as well.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: “I spent about eight months of my year on ‘Death in Paradise’ so it doesn’t leave a massive amount of time to do other stuff. I like to do everything, if I can.
“There’s a lot of roles which I would have loved to have taken that went to other people. I’ll still do films when the opportunity arises. I like to mix it up. Of course, I still have to audition. The general rule of thumb is that if it’s a good job you have to audition for it.
“If I’m prepared, I feel fine. But when you audition in the US you often do three in a day and you’re driving around Los Angeles, so it’s difficult to feel prepared.
“I’ll definitely be considering a lot more for my kids now. Hopefully a few of those will come my way. That would be lovely.”
He’s also hoping his next role will be closer to home as the former ‘My Family’ star spent half the year in Guadeloupe – an island in the southern Caribbean Sea – while he was shooting ‘Death in Paradise’ and made a 16-hour trip back to Britain every six weeks so that he could see his children and his wife Hannah for a few days.
He explained: “It was very hard because my daughter was only three months old when I left. In some ways it was easier for me than it was my wife, as I didn’t have the sleepless nights. I got to leave all of that behind. But it was tough being away from her every day and missing her. I got to come back a bit more than I normally would for a few days every six weeks. But my daughter grew massively between visits. Thankfully she still recognised me when I got back, so it was all right. She’s sick of me now, though.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Julie Hesmondhalgh was “scared” of taking on the role of a rape victim in ‘Broadchurch’.
The 46-year-old actress has admitted she was in two minds about accepting the part of Trish Winterman in the new series of the popular crime drama because she was concerned that the harrowing storyline would be portrayed in an incorrect way.
She explained: “Obviously, there’s been a lot of discussion about the televising of sexual violence and the way that it’s almost normalised in our culture now. Putting a face to that was something that I really had to think about. It took a conversation with Chris [Chibnall, series creator] – because I didn’t know Chris and I didn’t know what his politics were around this issue. I needed to know that it was going to be handled in the right way.”
And the former ‘Coronation Street’ actress – who was known for playing transgender Hayley Cropper in the long-running soap – was baffled as to why she was approached for the role because she didn’t think her look suited the image created in the series.
She said: “Even in the very fact that it’s me that has been cast as the person who’s experienced this… I think that’s very interesting.
“I’m an ordinary-looking, middle-aged woman, rather than the classic ‘young girl being chased through the woods’ – I think that in itself is quite an interesting take on it.
“I had to look at some of my own internalised… misogyny really, because I had fears that the audience wouldn’t buy that this could happen to someone like me.
“But obviously this isn’t an act of sex and desire, it’s an act of violence and it happens to all people – men, women and children.”
But Julie’s biggest challenge was ensuring that she did real-life rape victims justice.
She said: “I’m always really aware when you’re playing a role like this that I am an actor doing it and I’m not going through it for real,” she explained. “You’ve got to be careful not to be a twat about things like that!
“You can’t say, ‘Oh it’s so hard for me, acting’s hard…’ when people are actually going through it. How much of a w****r would you be to say, ‘It’s been really, really hard…’
“I suppose the hardest thing is the responsibility you feel, because you do want to get it right, because you’re representing a group of people who are actually going through something for real, and we wanted to show that in the best and truest way we can.”
