OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Edmondson has already landed a new presenting gig.
The 31-year-old radio DJ was left devastated last week when he was told he had lost his job as host of ‘The Xtra Factor’ alongside his co-star Rylan Clark-Neal because the sister show of ‘The X Factor’ was axed to make room for more online content.
But it hasn’t taken the funnyman long to bag his next project as he’s been approached by producers at ITV2 to front a new panel show called ‘JudgeMENTAL’.
A source said: “Matt is clearly liked and impressed during his time on the ‘Xtra Factor’s last series. Bosses have high hopes for this new panel show and think it will be a hit.”
The forthcoming series will see two celebrity teams – the stars are not yet known – go head-to-head as they guess what people do for a living purely by looking at them.
And it’s not just Matt who has already been snapped up for another show as Roman Kemp – who worked as the ‘The X Factor’s digital presenter – has also held discussions with bosses about presenting a programme on the same channel.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, he said: “It’s nice to know that ITV2 trust me to host a show on my own or with someone else. It’s exciting.”
Matt joined ‘The Xtra Factor’ alongside Rylan last year and the pair admitted at the time of their signing that they were planning to do all they could to get “sacked.”
Upon hearing the news of the axe, Matt said: “I wanted to write a quick something about my time on ‘Xtra Factor’, and the news it’s not coming back this year…
“I had an absolute blast working on the show – it’s honestly the most fun I’ve ever had at work, and it’s thanks to the best production team in the world. ‘Xtra’ had been on the decline for a few years, but we pulled out all the stops to make a show I am massively proud of.
“The feedback was amazing, and as a fan of ‘The X Factor’, it was a joy to be involved in some small way. I loved working with Rylan and Roman, and I’ve no doubt we’ll get to do something fun together in the future.
“There aren’t many shows on telly that are live and silly but I’m so glad I got to sink my teeth into this one. Thanks to Louis, Sharon, Nicole, Dermot and Simon for such a fun year, and thanks to ITV for taking a chance on the oddest looking presenting combination of all time… I feel very lucky to have done my dream job.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Parker thinks celebrities who sign up to ‘The Jump’ should expect to be injured.
The 28-year-old singer came second in the winter sports show last year but was riddled with anxiety when he saw his fellow competitors – including Beth Tweddle, Rebecca Adlington and Tina Hobley – break bones, dislocate joints and pull muscles.
But, although it terrified him, he doesn’t think anyone has the right to complain because everyone was briefed on how dangerous the slopes were before they agreed to the show.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, he said: “I understand after seeing Beth, when you see something like that it makes you more aware of the risks and dangers.
“I watched that happen and I was like ‘f*** me’ – it put the frighteners on me. You’re chucking yourself down a 30ft jump. You know what you’re signing yourself up for.”
Despite the worrying amount of injuries sustained in the last series, bosses were given the go-ahead to do another installment this year because there were still loads of celebrities who were eager to sign up to the show when the idea was put forward.
Davina McCall – who hosts the programme – said recently: “It is coming back. I didn’t think we’d be able to get anybody on it but people still want to do it, which is great.”
Lydia Bright, Spencer Matthews, Vogue Williams, Caprice, Jake Quickenden, Josie Gibson and Amy Willerton are among the celebrities who have agreed to take part in the forthcoming series, which will return to Channel 4 next month.

OHMYGOSSIP — Michelle Keegan’s ex-boyfriend has been asked to do ‘Love Island’ this year.
The 29-year-old actress’ former flame Brad Howard – who she dated from 2008 until 2010 – has been approached by bosses of the popular reality TV show to take part in the forthcoming series when it returns to television screens in the summer.
However, according to The Sun newspaper, it’s not yet known if he’s accepted an offer or whether the former ‘Coronation Street’ star will attempt to put him off the deal.
The brunette beauty may now be happily married to television presenter Mark Wright, who she wed in 2015, but she’s always had kind things to say about Brad.
Speaking while they were dating, she said: “Brad is very supportive of my career. If I have a long day filming, he won’t moan if he doesn’t see me.
“Whenever male fans come up to me in the street, he always takes a step back. I think the only time he gets annoyed is when we’re having a romantic meal in a restaurant and people come over. But he understands it’s part of the job.
“Brad does have a really kind and thoughtful side to him. He looks after my sausage dog Phoebe when I’m working and he surprised me with a trip to Las Vegas as a Christmas present and recently took me away to a spa in Bath for a few days.”
‘Love Island’, which is shot in a villa abroad, will return to ITV2 over the summer months and bosses are no doubt hoping to find people that will replicate the success of last year’s show which saw Nathan Massey and Cara de la Hoyde win.
A representative told the Mirror Online: “Applications for the next series are still open and no decisions have been made on cast.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Danielle Lloyd is planning to report her sexual assault to the police this week.
The 33-year-old model recently revealed she was preyed on by a ski instructor during a school trip to Austria at the age of just 13 and now she’s keen to meet with officers and make an official statement in a bid to encourage other victims to speak out.
A spokesperson for the brunette beauty told The Sun newspaper: “The topic of Danielle’s school ski trip and what happened there came out whilst she was filming the ‘In Therapy’ programme. Before that point she had never discussed the incident with anybody else – she has since told her Mum and fiancé Michael. Danielle will be reporting the incident to the police and her former school this week.”
Danielle – who attended St Hilda’s Secondary School in Liverpool – opened up about the horrific ordeal during a therapy session on the TV show ‘In Therapy’.
The former Miss England and Miss Great Britain claimed she went into the toilet in a restaurant during their school trip and the instructor – who she described as young, tall and local – followed her into the cubicle and sexually assaulted her.
She said: “He dragged me into one of the cubicles. I can still feel his hands on me. I can remember him grabbing me, the smell, the colours, I don’t think it will ever leave me. It was just so horrible, even talking about it now really upsets me.
“He got me into the cubicle and shut the door. He touched me. I kicked and screamed and I fought him off me. I’ve never been so scared.
“I managed to get the cubicle door open and I ran, crying myself to sleep in the dorm. I dread to think what else he’d have done if I hadn’t fought him off.”
Danielle has sons Archie, six, Harry, five, and George, three, with her ex-husband Jamie O’Hara, who she split from in 2014 following allegations he cheated on her.

OHMYGOSSIP — Whoopi Goldberg is desperate to land a role in ‘Doctor Who’.
The Oscar-winning star is a huge fan of the sci-fi series and has implored BBC bosses to cast her on the show, revealing it’s something she would “love”.
Whoopi explained: “I always hope when I come to England the BBC will say, ‘Hey we want you to do something.’ I would love that.”
The 61-year-old star admitted there is something distinctly different about British television and she is eager to experience it for herself.
Whoopi told The Sun newspaper: “You have a different quality now on television.
“The way you guys have always done shows has always been the smartest and we’ve finally just figured it out.
“I like the idea of doing things the way y’all do them, you do some really fun stuff like ‘Black Mirror’ or, you know, I’m still dying to do ‘Doctor Who’.
“‘Ab Fab’ women, they are spectacularly funny women, so you know I have all these dreams.”
Despite her eagerness, Whoopi said she is still patiently waiting for the call from a British TV company.
She shared: “Maybe Channel 4 or BBC 1, 2 and 3, who knows? Maybe somebody will say, ‘Hey stick around kid’.”
Meanwhile, Whoopi – who has been the moderator of the daytime TV talk show ‘The View’ since 2007 – also revealed she has become more appreciative of her own success as she has aged.
She explained: “I’m up for having as good a time as I can in my life because I appreciate it. I appreciate it in ways I never realised I did.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Channel 4 are set to launch a new survival show based on a plane crash.
The show, named ‘Escape’, will be presented by ex-Special Forces and ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’ star Ant Middleton, and will see a “small team of engineers” fight for survival using only the resources found in the debris of a staged plane crash.
An advert looking for contestants reads: “Dropped in a remote and undisclosed location, a small team of engineers will have only their imagination, resourcefulness and what they can find from the debris of a crash to create a vehicle to escape from the scene.
“With a finite amount of food and water they must work fast to create a vehicle that will help them escape.”
Show bosses are reportedly hoping the new show will combine elements of hit US television drama ‘Lost’ – which followed the lives of a group of plane crash survivors – with Channel 4 game show ‘Scrapheap Challenge’, which pits teams of builders against each other to build machines from unwanted junk.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “People really like survival programmes and watching how people can come together against the odds.
“This latest idea is a twist on ‘Lost’ and ‘Scrapheap Challenge’ and it’s hoped it will appeal to a wide audience.”
It is unknown as of yet when Channel 4 intends to produce the programme, or when it can be expected to hit screens.

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Thomas and Hannah Tointon are reportedly engaged.
The couple – who played lovers Simon and Tara on comedy series ‘The Inbetweeners’ – are said to have decided to tie the knot after seven years together, UniLad.com reports.
Meanwhile, Joe previously admitted he is “always trying to impress” his girlfriend.
He confessed: “I always try to impress my girlfriend Hannah by any means I can and I’m very protective about her. I think I am romantic. I’ve tended to have some serious, long-time monogamous relationships.
“Well they’ve been monogamous – I’m such a romantic. I’d only ever have sex with one girlfriend at a time … I’ve never had cojones to be a player, and I don’t know any men who do. Some imply these lots of girls, and never see them again after one night, but I don’t know that’s actually true.”
And Joe, 33, also believes a sense of humour is really important in any relationship.
He added: “A sense of humour is pretty much favorite quality in any person. There’s lot of embarrassment involved in a relationship and, if you’ve got a chance of humour, you can sit around those bits.
“It becomes a way of making somebody feel comfortable. You have to accept. If you are a man, you’re bit of a fool, and a sense of humour is a way of taking responsibility for your own awkwardness and patheticness.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gavin Rossdale didn’t know much about ‘The Voice’ before joining the show.
The Bush frontman is a mentor on the UK version of the programme and although his ex-wife Gwen Stefani was a judge on the US show, he admitted his knowledge of ‘The Voice’ was lacking.
He told Fabulous magazine: “I used to watch the bits of Gwen [on the US version] and then fast-forward. I helped mentor Gwen’s team [in 2014] and didn’t realise how emotionally invested you get with the contestants. That’s what made my decision, along with the obvious exposure and opportunities that would come with it.
“I’m grateful for my rebirth and, for most people, my introduction. I’m a realist and know that I’ve been reduced to three sentences: being in America, ex-husband of Gwen and seen with his kids a lot.”
However, it didn’t take Gavin long to adapt and he is confident about the quality of his contestants.
He said: “I’m really competitive and like a challenge. I have [found] a superstar and five other people who are all really close.”
And he has bonded with his fellow judges, including will.i.am, Jennifer Hudson and especially Sir Tom Jones.
He said: “I’ve bonded with Tom so much. It feels very paternal, and he respects the fact that I’m a professional.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dannii Minogue says her feud with Sharon Osbourne is completely “one-sided”.
The former ‘X Factor’ co-judges have clashed many times over the years but Dannii insists she wants nothing more to do with Sharon.
She told the Sunday Mirror’s Notebook magazine: “I honestly don’t think about Sharon. I heard she was making comments about me again, and it’s a one-sided argument that I’m not involved in. She’s just not a part of my life.”
Dannii has now returned to UK TV screens on ‘Let It Shine’ and she is a big fan of her “easy on the eye” co-stars Gary Barlow and Martin Kemp.
She said: “Gary is very easy on the eye. Everyone says he’s got better with age. You should see the girls in the audience staring at him with puppy-dog eyes. It’s that dreaminess. He is lovely, it’s hard to concentrate. Same with Martin Kemp, he’s still really gorgeous. Last night, he walked in and gave me a big hug and kiss, and I was like, ‘This is my job!’ I’m hating it, as you can tell.”
Dannii also admitted that becoming a mother six years ago to son Ethan has changed her attitude to her career.
She explained: “I’ve got that lioness thing where I want to protect him, so the jobs are important because I want to look after him. But everything has to be timed to the schedules of being a parent. I mostly do things that don’t involve me being in a different hemisphere, so I can work from my office and do the school run every day. And when I am away I’ll be lying in bed jet-lagged reading mum blogs about the 12 best lunchbox items, thinking, ‘Must do that when I get back.'”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Knowles’ wife still has feelings for him.
The ‘DIY SOS’ host and Jessica Moor, who have two-year-old son Eddie together, split up for good in December after a turbulent on/off year but Jessica, 29, admitted she still finds him attractive.
She told the Sunday People: “I literally haven’t thought about dating.
“I’m happy to just be in a stable, calm place. I can’t imagine what it’d be like if we were at each other’s throats. He’s very attractive and I care about him lots.
“We are really supportive of each other.”
Nick and Jessica originally split in January 2016 following four years of marriage but grew close again after they turned to each other when Jessica found out she had cervical cancer, which she has now beaten.
And the couple faced more drama when Nick, 54, came under fire for reportedly dumping former ‘Emmerdale’ star Gemma Oaten while they were in bed together to get back together with Jessica.
Taking to his Twitter account after Gemma lashed out at him in a newspaper interview, he said: “Life is not about what happens to you, it’s about how you deal with it. This year we faced a miscarriage, the breakdown of our marriage and cancer without being disrespectful about each other at any point. We are saddened for each other and for the sake of our young son that this is being played out so publicly.
“The story is something that happened (in the space of less than one week) during a turbulent, traumatic time and more to the point – whilst we were separated. It is unfortunate we are having to relive it purely so someone can financially gain from exploiting our private life.
“With everything that’s happened this year, even discussing this seems very trivial in comparison to what we have dealt with and are still dealing with. As always, our answer is united, as we are. We have enjoyed eight years as best friends and nothing will change that. (sic)”
