OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh is set to relive the tragic death of her son in a new ‘Coronation Street’ storyline.
The 40-year-old actress was left heartbroken in 2009 when her son Archie died moments after being born prematurely at just 21 weeks old, and will now have to go through the emotional turmoil once again as her character on the ITV soap Michelle Connor is set to be hit with a miscarriage plot.
Michelle will lose Ruairi at 23 weeks in an emotional episode which will air in early January.
Speaking about her decision to agree to the plot, Kym – who also has 21-year-old son David and 19-year-old daughter Emily with former partner Dave Cunliffe, as well as five-year-old daughter Polly with former husband Jamie Lomas – said: “I thought long and hard before agreeing to take on the challenge of this storyline. It is a cause very close to my heart having lost my beautiful Archie.
“I have had to go to some very dark places in my mind while filming these heartbreaking scenes, but my family, friends and colleagues have been incredible. Losing a child is something that never leaves you so to revisit those feelings has been challenging.
“‘Coronation Street’ ensured that I had a counsellor on set at all times, but for me the best tonic after a hugely emotional day was to go home to my kids and be reminded of how lucky I am to have them.”
And bosses of the ITV soap are doing everything they can to make the plot – which will also see Kym’s on-screen husband Simon Gregson, who plays Steve McDonald, endure emotional turmoil – believable, enlisting the help of stillbirth charity Sands for the episode.
Kym added in a statement: “I felt it was an important story to tell to raise awareness of something which affects thousands of women every year. I am very proud.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny-Boy Hatchard is determined to make sure his suicide plot on ‘EastEnders’ is played out realistically.
The 25-year-old actor has played Lee Carter on the BBC soap since 2014, and has said he worked closely with mental health charities as well as the show’s writers to make sure the former soldier’s current storyline – which sees him contemplate suicide after battling with depression – is carried out with justice.
He told The Sun Online: “I want to make sure it isn’t just something that happens and then it all gets better for Lee after that because that isn’t the reality.
“It’s about trying to find a healthy balance because mental illness isn’t just something that goes away.
“And I think that’s what the general feeling is for Lee after that. He needs to find himself, he needs to find a healthy balance so he can move forward with his life and that will cause certain things to happen.”
And Danny-Boy admits that the scenes were hard to film, but he doesn’t “feel alone” because the rest of the cast and crew were there to help him get through the harrowing story.
He added: “Yeah it’s tough. This is my job so I have to detach myself away from it personally and approach it in a professional way.
“I don’t feel alone working on this because I’ve got the ‘EastEnders’ team here who have been brilliant with my research and the writing and the directing and Sean’s been great.
“I think it’s a collaborative process. Although I am the picture of it and what you see with Lee, there’s been a lot of work behind that and that makes me as an actor feel a lot more comfortable with how I approach these situations.”
Meanwhile, Lorna Fraser – the media adviser for the Samaritans charity – has praised the show’s bosses for working with them to create a story that was told “responsibly and sensitively”.
She said: “We were really happy that EastEnders got in touch with us very early on in developing this element of Lee’s storyline because it is a subject that should be handled responsibly and sensitively.
“And so we’ve been working over several months with their researchers and their writers giving advice on various things and this is where soaps can really come into their own in reaching a wide audiences with some really important messages such as Lee’s situation and showing that through a culmination of life pressures, pressures that can particularly affect men that he’s reached a very difficult point.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Altman wants to bring his ‘EastEnders’ character Nick Cotton to ‘Emmerdale’.
The 64-year-old actor was known for playing Nick Cotton – nicknamed Nasty Nick – on the BBC soap from the show’s debut episode in 1985 until his character was killed off last year, but has now expressed a wish to take the Walford icon to the Yorkshire village “under a different name”.
He said: “I always thought it would be great to see Nick go up to Emmerdale or something under a different name but he is actually the same character.”
However, John admits the problem with his plan is the small matter of Nick’s death, after he took drugs he claimed “weren’t pure” and died in the arms of his mother Dot Cotton (played by June Brown) who refused to call an ambulance.
But John does have a solution for that, claiming the audience never actually saw Nick’s body leave the house in which he supposedly died, so there’s a chance he could still be alive.
He added: “He’d be being nice and all the viewers would be going mad because they know he’s evil. I don’t think we could do it now because he’s dead. But is he dead? We never saw the body being carried out of the house.
“There’s something called suspended animation maybe that happened to Nick?”
Meanwhile, John hit out at the soap that was his home for so many years, claiming the quality had dropped because the show got “too big”.
He told The Sun newspaper: “EastEnders lost a lot of heart when it got too big, too many people, the fewer people you’ve got the better it is.”
“When EastEnders went to four days a week it seemed to me as though they were trying to squeeze four pints into a two-pint jug.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jordan Banjo says taking part in ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ made him a “different person”.
The Diversity dancer was the fourth celebrity to be eliminated from the 2016 series of the jungle based reality show, and has admitted the experience was so challenging he isn’t sure “how [he] did it”.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’ alongside fellow Diversity dance stars Ashley Banjo and Perri Kiely, Jordan said: “Looking back at – after being out of it for so long now – I’m like mate I don’t even know how I did it!
“That’s a different person!”
And Jordan also opened up about the horrifying bushtucker trial that he underwent named the Tomb of Torment, where he was plunged in darkness whilst 120,000 critters climbed over him, alongside ‘Gogglebox’ star Scarlett Moffatt, ex-‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional Ola Jordan, and Olympic gold medal winner Sam Quek.
The 23 year old said of the trial: “I was laying there and the girls were like ‘let’s sing’ and I was like ‘let’s not!'”
“I’ve got scars on my neck from when the rats scratched me!”
The news comes after Jordan described the whole experience as “overwhelming” during his interview on with show presenters Ant and Dec after he was voted out of the jungle.
He said at the time: “The whole experience was so overwhelming, it was something I never thought I’d get the chance to do. I’m not joking, those guys in there is such a beautiful person and I can’t wait to see them when they get out.
“I’ve never seen a camp like it. It was sort of like a home away from home because every day I’m with a team. I thought it would be arguments and big egos but it hasn’t been anything like that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlie King is in talks to return to ‘The Only Way Is Essex’.
The personal trainer appeared briefly on the show in 2013 when he struck up a relationship with Gemma Collins – before he later came out as gay on ITV’s ‘The Morning’ in 2014 – and is now reportedly thinking of re-joining the cast of the reality show to help further his “personal training business”.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Charlie has big plans with his personal training business and in talks with ‘TOWIE’ to make a return.
“He still has a great relationship with the cast and they would love to welcome him back.”
Charlie originally quit the show after his rows with best friend Bobby Norris were shown to the viewing public, but now he’s reportedly hoping to use his personal training skills to help his ex-beau Gemma and James Argent to shed weight, as they have both admitted to struggling with weight loss in the past.
And show bosses are convinced there will be no “awkwardness” between the two exes, and say that Gemma will be “thankful” for Charlie’s support during her “weight loss mission”.
The source added: “There will be no awkwardness between exes Charlie and Gemma.
“There are no hard feelings and Gemma will be thankful for his support as she continues her weight loss mission.”
And Gemma’s continued weight loss goal comes as she recently lost almost a stone in just over four weeks after ditching brandies for slimline vodka, lime and soda.
Speaking previously, she said: “It’s all about moderation. Where I used to think nothing of polishing off 15 brandies, nowadays I drink vodka and soda with fresh lime.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Stephanie Davis is “in talks” for her own television show.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ star – who is 35 weeks pregnant with her first child – has been approached by bosses from various channels about shooting her own series about raising a baby and motherhood.
She explained: “I’m in talks for stuff like that [a motherhood series]. I have a great idea for a new format that no one has ever done before.”
And it seems the 23-year-old actress could be open to many more series after the first as she’s hoping to have more children in the future – but only with the right man.
She told new! magazine: “I definitely want kids in the future but I’m not interested in men at all. I go out with my brothers or my dad and literally that’s as much male contact as I’ve had. Mum keeps saying I’ll meet somewhat when I least expect it but I’m like, ‘I never want to go with a man again!’ ”
Stephanie was left heartbroken earlier this year when she split from her on/off boyfriend Jeremy McConnell – who she claims is the father of her child – but it hasn’t destroyed her view of love.
She added: “Disney has given me false hope! I would like a decent fella, but now my tick-box is so long, I’d have to hold auditions! Tattoos? Out! Model? Out!

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Sherlock’ writers had to rewrite scenes involving a dog because the pooch “wouldn’t move”.
Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the brains behind the popular BBC crime drama, were forced to rewrite scenes for the upcoming series on the spot after the bloodhound they had hired to assist the super sleuth – played by Benedict Cumberbatch – refused to co-operate with the director’s demands.
Speaking to The Mirror newspaper, Steven, 55, said: “It was an immobile dog. Me and Mark wrote a new scene on the street because the dog wouldn’t move. It was just sat there like an ornament.”
Mark, 50, added: “The people that tell you they can train animals are liars. We got there with this bloodhound and it wouldn’t do a thing.”
Meanwhile, 40-year-old Benedict – who is joined in his adventures by Doctor John Watson, played by Martin Freeman – said the owner of the pooch warned them that the dog wasn’t a fan of “pavements” or “people”.
He said: “She said ‘well the dog doesn’t like pavements or concrete or people or busy streets or open spaces’.”
And whilst the bloodhound might not want to offer an award-winning performance, Benedict is confident his portrayal of the famous detective is headed in the right direction.
He said: “He is becoming slightly more responsible for his actions. He is very much becoming more of a human being.”
The rewritten scenes starring the immobile pooch will be shown during the first episode of the new series, which airs on New Year’s Day (01.01.17).
Elsewhere, it was recently revealed that the final episode of ‘Sherlock’s fourth series – entitled ‘The Final Problem’ – will be shown in over 300 cinemas when it airs in January 2017.
‘Sherlock’ producer Sue Vertue said: “Fans clearly enjoyed the opportunity of watching ‘The Abominable Bride’ in cinemas last time so Hartswood Films are thrilled to be working with BBC Worldwide again to do the same for this series four finale.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Danielle Lloyd is “worried” her ex-husband Jamie O’Hara will spill the details on their love life when he enters the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house next year.
The 33-year-old glamour model is reportedly concerned over the addition of the ex-footballer – with whom she shares three children, Archie, six, Harry, five, and George, three – to the famous house alongside her former close friend and fellow model Nicola McLean, as they know “everything about her” and could spill her secrets to the viewing public.
A source told The Sun Online: “Danielle must be worried about what Jamie will say in the house. They shared two-and-a-half years as a married couple and they’ve got three kids together, so he knows everything about her.
“It couldn’t come at a worse time, as Nicola is also going in to the house. They’re bound to discuss their shared connection to Danielle soon enough.”
But the beauty – who appeared on the popular reality show herself in 2007 – isn’t too concerned about her ex-husband, as she recently admitted she would like to have a baby with her fiancé Michael O’Neill, which she believes will help her kick her drinking habit.
She said: “I’d love to get pregnant again so I can start off the year right – and it would give me an excuse to stop drinking.
“Every single January I say I’m going to drink less or stop drinking altogether and every year I never stick to it.
“The boys would love another sibling and keep asking me when it’s going to happen – it’s so sweet.”
The brunette beauty is smitten with her electrician partner and loves leading a “normal” life with him.
She said: “It’s just nice being a normal mum with my kids and it’s lovely having a normal fiancé.
“He’s hands on and so kind, helping me with things like the school run and bathtime.
“He doesn’t like all the showbiz stuff, he just leaves me to it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Terry wants to pay off his parents’ mortgage.
The ‘X Factor’ winner is hoping the money he earns from his record deal will allow him to buy his mother and father’s home outright so they don’t have any monthly fees with banks.
And the generous star admits he hasn’t even considered splashing out anything on himself just yet.
He said: “I would love to pay off their mortgage one day. If I could work towards that, it would be amazing. I haven’t thought about anything for myself yet, but maybe I’ll get something.”
And it seems the 23-year-old heartthrob will be raking in the cash in no time as he’s planning to drop his debut album next year – following the recent release of his debut single ‘When Christmas Comes Around’ – after the show’s tour.
He explained: “Hopefully I can start working on it next year after the tour.”
Although Matt has only just dropped his single ‘When Christmas Comes Around’, he is hoping to emulate the success of previous show stars Leona Lewis, One Direction and Olly Murs.
He told Britain’s OK! magazine: “So many people like Leona Lewis, Fleur East has done amazing, One Direction, Olly Murs. James Arthur has just made a comeback and he’s insane. There are so many people who have done really well and I want to do the same.”
