OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Planet Earth’ is already being lined up for a third installment.
The second series of the wildlife documentary has only just wrapped up and, although it was initially thought it would be the last time viewers get to witness the breath-taking scenes of nature accompanied by Sir David Attenborough’s narration, bosses are now keen to persuade the 90-year-old naturalist to record another batch of episodes.
Producer Mike Gunton explained the idea of a third series in the pipeline but, even if the BBC are on board with the recommission, it could take at least a decade to make.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper, Mike explained: “We’d also be crazy to say it will be here in three years or even five years’ time. We love working with Sir David and I think he loves working with us, and we want that to last as long as possible. When he decides he doesn’t want to do any more, we will have to rethink how we make these programmes. You can’t replace him – it’s pointless trying.”
‘Planet Earth’ first hit television screens in 2006 and, following the huge success of its debut, the BBC announced earlier this year that it had commissioned a six-part sequel.
‘Planet Earth II’ was predicted to be a hit with viewers but producers never expected it to beat ITV’s singing show ‘The X Factor’ in the ratings war consistently for six weeks.
And the success is hardly surprising as it was the most high-tech series ever to grace screens due to the ultra-high-speed cameras mounted on drones that gave fans an up-close glimpse of the natural world that has never been witnessed before.

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Terry’s career won’t be guided by Simon Cowell.
The ‘X Factor’ winner will reportedly release his music through Sony label RCA, rather than the show boss’ own Sony subsidiary, Syco – which looks after the likes of previous contestants Little Mix and James Arthur – as music executives think he could be the next Olly Murs, who will now be one of his labelmates.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Simon and Sony have had a think and believe that Matt is very much an artist in the mould of Olly Murs.
“And to that end, they both believe he should be a label mate of Olly’s on RCA.”
Matt’s debut single, the Ed Sheeran-penned ‘When Christmas Comes Around’ is currently on course to take the top spot at the weekend and music executives are hoping it can retain the number one position over the festive period.
The source added: “Everyone is thrilled with Matt’s victory and how brilliantly the winner’s single is doing.
“It’s already been the iTunes number one for well over 24 hours even though it only came out late on Sunday evening.
“‘When Christmas Comes Around’ is a fantastic song.
“It perfectly showcases Matt’s talent and also has a real shot at the Christmas number one next week if momentum continues to build.”
A Sony Music spokesperson refused to be drawn on Matt’s new home, simply saying: “Matt Terry is now part of the Sony Music family.”
The 23-year-old singer isn’t the first ‘X Factor’ winner not to be signed by Syco, as Matt Cardle’s career was overseen by Columbia Records following his 2010 victory, though that year third-placed One Direction were offered a deal by Simon, and second-placed Rebecca Ferguson had a joint contract with Syco and Epic records.
But this series of the show hasn’t left Simon without any new acts for his label, as it emerged earlier this week controversial rapper Honey G has inked a contract with Syco.
She confirmed in a video posted online: “And yes it is true, I am now signed to Simon Cowell’s label, Syco.
“I’m just so happy, I can’t explain how happy I am.
“I hope that everyone goes out, buys the single, supports it. We tear it up and we kill it, smash it. Bring on the album.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Danielle Lloyd wants to get pregnant – so she can stop drinking.
The 33-year-old model – who already has sons Archie, five, Harry, four, and George, three, with ex-husband Jamie O’Hara – makes a New Year’s resolution every year to curb her alcohol intake, but struggles to stick to it, so knows having a baby with her fiancé Michael O’Neill would be the perfect deterrent.
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.”
Though Danielle and Michael will be in their new home this Christmas, she’d love to jet off somewhere exciting afterwards.
She said: “We’ll spend Christmas at home in Birmingham but we’d love to get away for a holiday afterwards.
“I’d love to take the kids to New York at some point – I want to go to the huge toyshop FAO Schwarz and go ice skating and see all the Christmas lights.”
The brunette beauty is smitten with her electrician partner and loves leading a “normal” life with him.
She told Closer magazine: “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 — Ellie Simmonds is reportedly the “number one choice” for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ 2017.
The 22-year-old Paralympic swimmer was invited to the semi-final of the BBC dancing competition on Saturday (10.12.16) in order to “get a feel” for the atmosphere as show bosses are reportedly targeting the gold medallist for next year’s line up.
A source said: “They wanted to introduce her to the ‘Strictly’ family and to get a feel for the place and the programme.
“By all accounts she had a fabulous time. It’s early days, but we would love her next year. She is our number one choice by a country mile.”
Ellie suffers with achondroplasia – a genetic disorder that is a common cause of dwarfism – but has dominated the Paralympic swimming tables after bringing home two gold medals in Beijing when she was just 13. Since then, Ellie won two golds, a silver, and a bronze at London’s 2012 games, as well as securing yet another gold and a bronze at the recent Rio Olympics.
The BBC’s decision to focus on getting Ellie on the show comes as Director-general Lord Tony Hall revealed he was aiming to boost the representation of disabled people on television from 1.2% to 5% by next year.
The insider added: “Having a disabled star on a prime time show like Strictly is the most positive message you can send.”
Ellie’s disability means she stands at 4ft 1in and would make her the smallest contest ever in the history of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, just ahead of current series contestant and Olympic gymnast Claudia Fragapane, who was booted from the show over the weekend.
Insiders say Ellie’s height is not an issue, as they have “smaller male dancers” to pair her with, such as Claudia’s dance partner AJ Pritchard.
Another insider told The Mirror newspaper: ” Claudia Fragapane is only 4ft 7in – that wasn’t an issue whatsoever when she was paired with AJ Pritchard.
“We have lots of smaller male dancers who would be just fine.”

And singer Katie Melua will be providing some live music with a performance of her new song ‘The Little Swallow’.
Meanwhile, Graham previously admitted he hopes to retire before the age of 60, insisting he does not wish to hang on too long.
He said: “You want to get out when people are still watching your show.
“You don’t want it to be when people say: ‘That is still on, that is still a thing?'”
Graham added: “The thing no one wants is the inching backwards, where you’re kind of going: ‘Yes the cast of Towie can come on…’ That’s about retiring when you’re on top.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Goodger is to spend Christmas in prison with her boyfriend.
The 30-year-old reality TV star has revealed she would love nothing more than to spend the festive period with her boyfriend Joey Morrison, who is currently serving an 18-year sentence for offences including burglary and drug dealing, and would gladly spend December 25 with her beau instead of being at home with her family if the prison was open.
She shared: “I’m going to visit him over the Christmas period and I really wanted to see him on Christmas Day but sadly the prison is closed.
“I’m gutted because I wanted to give him something to look forward to. I wanted to take him a Christmas meal will all the trimmings, but I’m not allowed to. I’ve already sent him trainers and tracksuits – but that’s all I can send.”
Lauren has been dating Joey since September, having previously been friends with him, and has revealed she would like to have a baby with him in 2017.
She told Closer magazine: “I’ll have [a baby] next year. I want one right now, really. Hopefully I’ll have a little girl, but if I have a boy first, then it’s fine because she’ll have an older brother.”
The brunette beauty returned to ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ earlier this year after taking a four-year break from the show, and she insisted at the time that she was not looking to find a man.
The curvaceous star – who split from Jake McLean in May – said: “Sadly I don’t think I’ll be the sexiest girl on the show – there are so many hotties. I’ll be the old one, not drinking and being boring.
“There’s little chance of romance either – there are no fit guys on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’. Attractive men don’t go on it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Tarrant dreads being “stuck on an island with Kerry Katona”.
The 70-year-old TV presenter is currently taking a break from the spotlight, but has revealed he would not accept an offer to star on a reality show because he does not want to be marooned with the Atomic Kitten singer.
Asked if there were any current shows he wishes he was presenting, Chris replied: “No, I worked like a dog for a long time and I don’t want to do any more. I don’t want to stop yet. I’m having a break and we’ll see what’s around next year.
“If there’s something I want to do I’ll do it and if not I won’t. I get asked to do all the reality TV shows but I don’t want to be stuck on an island with Kerry Katona.”
Chris has also rubbished the idea of returning to ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’, which aired for 15 seasons on ITV, saying he is glad to have walked away from the programme at the right time.
He told the Metro newspaper: “We’d all decided we’d had enough. People have shouted ‘Phone a friend’ at me three times this morning. I’ve always left things when I’ve had a good time and it’s time to move on.”
In more recent years, Chris has been presenting ‘Extreme Railway Journeys’, which sees him explore the most dangerous railway lines, and he has relished working outdoors.
He said: “When we started I was still doing ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ and I thought it would be nice to get outside.
“I’ve been stuck in radio and TV studios for 20 years. We’ve now done 168,212 miles since we started, which is four times around the world.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Walsh wants to manage Honey G.
The 64-year-old music manager – who looked after novelty act Jedward from the 2009 series of ‘The X Factor’ – thinks the wannabe rapper is bound to be successful and could “make a lot of money” by cashing in on her image and bringing out her own merchandise including hats and glasses, just like the ones she doesn’t leave the house without wearing.
He told heat! magazine: “Well, I do like the crazy ones! She’s so sellable.
“I can see Honey G dolls and Honey G glasses and Honey G caps. She’s on the [‘X Factor’] tour as well. She’s already a star.
“She came into my dressing room all the time and she worked so hard. I think this will change her life forever, and she’ll make a lot of money.”
Honey G – whose real name is Anna Gilford – recently revealed she is signed to Simon Cowell’s label Syco and is to release her debut single ‘The Honey G Show’ on December 23.
Sharing her excitement, she said: “I’m going to be releasing my first single on the 23rd December and I’m shooting the video this week so I’m so excited. I’m just so happy.”
Honey – who was mentored by Sharon Osbourne – previously revealed she believes Syco is the best label for her because she’s already built up a relationship with the company.
She explained: “I entered ‘The X Factor’ because I wanted a record deal. I’m not really interested in anything else apart from getting signed to get a record deal. Obviously, with Syco, I know the team really well. We get on really well so it would be lovely to be signed by them because the relationship is already formed.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Terry only entered ‘The X Factor’ after his girlfriend dumped him.
The 23-year-old singer – who triumphed on the ITV talent show over the weekend – says it was the breakdown of his relationship with dancer Jasmine Avis that inspired him to audition for the show.
He said: “That was the start of everything changing. At the time it was really tough because she ended it, it was her choice. We just spent so much time together. We were in our own little bubble. She wanted to be a dancer and I wanted to be a singer. It’s worked out for the best.”
However, Matt insists he isn’t looking for a relationship right now as he wants to concentrate on himself and his music.
He added: “I’m not looking for love, I can’t wait to start writing. It’s important to use your life experiences. It’s my story to tell. I’ve just gotten out of a three-year relationship and now is my time to concentrate on myself. I’m going to have fun and meet people …
“She hasn’t tried to get back with me, she sticks by her decision. We’re friends as we’ve got the same friendship group. She’s wished me luck throughout the competition and has been supportive.”
Meanwhile, Matt is keen to make sure his parents Sharon and Bob have a nice holiday after all their support.
He added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’d love to pay off their mortgage one day. But first, my mum and dad deserve to go somewhere really nice and warm. They’ve been behind me my entire life and are so giving.
“I’d like to send them somewhere nice and hot to treat them. When I heard I’d won, all I could see was my family’s faces. They were crying, all emotional and over the moon. It’s all I’ve ever wanted, to make them proud.”
