OHMYGOSSIP — 5 After Midnight have placed third on ‘The X Factor’.
The boy band – which includes Kieran Alleyne, Nathan Lewis and Jordan Lee – narrowly missed out in a place in the ‘X Factor’ final after being kicked out of the competition on Saturday night (10.12.16).
Jordan said: “What can I say? It’s been the best experience ever! There’s been so much support and so much love. I can’t thank you guys enough. And we just hope for the best; the best people come out third, the best people come out second and the best people win it. That’s how it is.”
Whilst Kieran added: “It was amazing. We just want to say thank you to everybody that’s voted for us. To Simon, Nicole, Sharon and of course, Louis.”
And their mentor Louis Walsh was full of praise for the group, telling host Dermot O’Leary: “Catch them on the ‘X Factor’ tour. This is the start! It’s all going to happen for them.”
Earlier in the evening, 5 After Midnight opened the show – which was broadcast live from Wembley Arena, London – with a rendition of Beyonce’s ‘Crazy In Love’, which received high praise from the judges.
Nicole told them: “That is the way you open up the X Factor final at Wembley Arena. Your energy is electric. Awesome job.”
Whilst Sharon gushed: “The energy in here is Crazy In Love for you guys. Great performance from you all.”
And despite a little dig at Louis, Simon praised the trio, telling them: “This worked in the real world. The reason you’ve done so well is because you’ve worked so hard. This is what the X Factor’s all about.”
Later, the hopefuls returned to the stage to perform hit song ‘Tears’ with Clean Bandit and last year’s ‘X Factor’ winner Louisa Johnson.
Meanwhile, Matt Terry wowed with an effortless performance of ‘Take Me Home’ full of his signature falsetto whilst Saara Alto took to the stage to stun the 12,000-strong audience with ‘Everybody Wants to Rule the World’.
During the final, Matt duetted with his mentor Nicole for a performance of Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ and Saara was joined by her dream collaborator Adam Lambert to sing Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.
The ‘X Factor’ continues on Sunday night (11.12.16) when Saara Aalto and Matt Terry will fight it out to be named this year’s ‘X Factor’ champion. Kylie Minogue, Madness and Little Mix will also perform.

OHMYGOSSIP — Honey G debuted her own song ‘The Honey G Show’ during the ‘X Factor’ final on Saturday (10.12.16).
The controversial contestant – who finished fifth on the ITV talent show – took to the stage for a performance of some of her biggest covers from the show whilst also giving fans a sneak preview of her debut single.
Speaking to host Dermot O’Leary after her performance, she said: “It felt wicked [to be up there]. I just want to plug my single that’s coming out on December 23 called ‘The Honey G Show’. Everyone who’s locked in, we’re going to rip it up. This is the Honey G official takeover …
“There was a sneak preview of my upcoming single in that medley. Everyone’s got to go out and buy it and support the single. Honey G’s taking over. It’s Honey G time.”
During the performance, Honey G and the ‘X Factor’ judges – Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne – all donned Honey’s trademark sunglasses, which had her name scrolling across them.
The 35-year-old rapper – whose real name is Anna Georgette Gilford – is the first former contestant to perform a solo track at the final of the series which they took part in.
However, the decision to bring back Honey G wasn’t received well with fans.
One wrote: “So you let Honey G come back to Wembley but no one else? What makes the talentless waste of a rap Honey so special? Very strange decision? (sic)”
Whilst another added: “Why was Honey G getting special treatment over the other finalists??? Not as if Emily will get a five minute slot to give a promo for her new single… shocking behaviour X-factor (sic)”
However, some were pleased to see the return of the rapper, with one writing: “Shocking that she was ever voted out. HONEY G IS THE XFACTOR!!! What a performance!!! (sic)”
Earlier in the evening, Honey joined the other finalists to perform a mash up of Little Mix’s ‘Shout Out To My Ex’, DNCE’s ‘Cake By The Ocean’ and Justin Timberlake’s ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’.
During Saturday night’s (10.12.16) show, 5 After Midnight left the competition, leaving Matt Terry and Saara Alto to fight it out to be crowned this year’s ‘X Factor’ champion.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ore Oduba topped the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ leaderboard with two contrasting performances during the show’s semi-final.
The sports presenter came back from being in the dance off last Saturday night to wow the judges – Craig Revel Horwood, Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Darcey Bussell – with an energetic quickstep to ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’.
Len, who gave Ore a standing ovation, said: “I’ll tell you that quickstep was a triumph. Speed and control, you had both of those. The key is – move fast and don’t look rushed and you never did.”
Whilst Darcey excitedly shared: “Wow, you came alive! It was terrific. You sped past us across the dancefloor. The energy, the attack, the focus was all there. Well done!”
Ore later took to the dancefloor to perform a passionate Argentine tango to ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’.
Bruno described it as “mesmerising, magnetic and hypnotic”.
He said: “That was mesmerising, I could hardly breathe because of the magnetic hypnotic dance. I don’t know if I was watching a lion tamer or a magician. I am telling you, that was outstanding.”
And Danny Mac impressed with his American Smooth to ‘Misty Blue’, even earning the praise of Craig.
He said: “That was right up my street. I loved it!”
Whilst Len added: “On that dance, I’ve got to agree with Craig now – that is right up my alley. You did the natural turns so beautifully.”
With the competition getting tougher, Louise Redknapp and Claudia Fragapane ended up joint bottom of the table despite their fantastic performances throughout the night.
Commenting on Claudia’s quickstep to ‘When You’re Smiling’, Craig said: “It did get me smiling! I loved the end of that routine. You had character throughout the whole thing. You danced like you were dancing for your life.”
Whilst Louise’s tango to ‘Glad All Over’ excited the judges.
Len said: “It reminded me of the Generation Game and as Brucie would say, ‘Didn’t she do well.’ Full of attack, full of attitude. There was a little moment here … but there was so much good in that routine, well done!”
‘Strictly Come Dancing’ continues on Sunday (11.12.16).

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Redknapp has “working mum guilt”.
The singer admitted that competing on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ has led to her missing out on time at home with her sons Charley, 11, and Beau, seven, and she feels terribly guilty.
She told The Sun: “Neither do their schoolwork unless I’m supervising and screaming at them.
“So I’ve written lots of notes in their homework diaries saying, ‘Sorry, we will catch up when I get kicked off ‘Strictly’.
“I feel working mum guilt as I’m sure any working mum will know, I had it before this and I’m sure I’ll have it again in the future.
“Mums put so much pressure on themselves these days, the biggest thing is to be the perfect mum, to keep up with all the other mums.
“There’s so much pressure on women to be the perfect mum but I think my kids love the fact that I am a bit all over the place.”
Meanwhile, Louis – who is married to Jamie Redknapp – recently revealed she hopes that her ‘Strictly’ partner Kevin Clifton will help her to fall pregnant.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional’s previous celebrity partners Frankie Bridge and Kellie Bright, who worked with the married hunk in 2014 and 2015 respectively, have fallen pregnant almost immediately after taking part in the competition and now the 42-year-old singer is convinced her dance partner will be her “lucky charm”.
She said: “Frankie Bridge is obviously a good friend of mine and when she finished dancing with Kevin, she fell pregnant. And Kellie Bright did ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ with Kevin and went on to have a baby so now the joke is he will be my lucky charm because I said I’d really like a girl. I’m feeling the pressure, I’m going to have a baby. For me, fertility, has been well-documented. I didn’t have my first son easily, it took me a long time to have him. It took me four years. My second one, it took me four weeks so I think, for me, another baby I wouldn’t take it for granted but it’s not something I would rule out.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Craig Revel Horwood has tipped Danny Mac for a career on the stage.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge – who is also a West End choreographer and producer – has been so impressed with Danny’s performance on the show that he wants to sign him up after the series ends.
He told the Daily Star: “Danny’s such an amazing dancer, I’m definitely keen to sign him up for a role in one of my shows.
“He’s the perfect package – talented, an all-rounder on the dance-floor, a gorgeous face – and can we talk about his fantastic body and those rippling abs?
“He’s the gift that keeps on giving. What a ‘Strictly’ superstar he is.”
Despite being impressed with Danny, Craig doesn’t think he is guaranteed the glitterball trophy.
He explained: I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion that Danny will win.
“Louise Redknapp has completely come out of her shell now and is flying through the competition. Claudia Fragapane has done really well and Ore Oduba is a naturally gifted dancer.
“I’m really glad that the audience get their say in the final and that our votes don’t count, because it’s becoming so hard to mark the celebs apart now – they’re all so good!
“This series has flown by, because the standard has been so high. I can’t wait to see the show dances in the final. They’re sure to be spectacular.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The final episode of season four of ‘Sherlock’ will be shown in cinemas.
More than 300 cinemas in the UK and Ireland, including Vue, Empire, Cineworld and Odeon chains, will show the episode ‘The Final Problem’ 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.”
Mat Way, BBC Worldwide’s Commercial Director of Live Entertainment, said: “The incredible filmic qualities of ‘Sherlock’ make it perfect cinema viewing.
“We are delighted to be able to offer the UK and Irish fans the opportunity to enjoy the epic ‘Sherlock’ finale on the big screen.”
Speaking previously about the upcoming dramatic fourth season, Benedict hinted that fans might need a break after all of the excitement.
He said: “First and foremost we have got a fourth series for people to watch and understand and when they watch it they might go ‘Oh yeah, maybe there does need to be a break now’ because of what happens in it. No spoilers!”
And he admitted that fans could have to wait longer than ever before for the next installment after these episodes air.
He said: “I think there will be a lull. I don’t think it will be in a year and a half necessarily but we will wait and see and maybe it will be.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Barlow wanted Nicole Scherzinger to star on ‘Let It Shine’.
The Take That singer tried to get the ‘X Factor’ judge to join him on his new BBC talent show but Nicole had already agreed to return to Simon Cowell’s ITV popstar search programme.
She told The Sun: “He did ask me. He said he was right about to call me then he saw Simon had signed me for X Factor and he was like, ‘Oh God’. So, that was sad.”
And Nicole revealed she is thrilled with the current panel of ‘The X Factor’, which includes Simon, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne, and hopes they will all return next year.
She said: “If I was ever to do another panel with ‘X Factor’ it would only be with the one we have now. If someone quit, I would quit.
“Unless Gazza came back, I love Gary. I’m so excited for ‘Let It Shine’, I can’t wait.
“I just love Gary Barlow. Everything he does is golden.”
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that ‘Let It Shine’ – which will see judges search for stars for a Take That-themed West End musical – will air on the first Saturday of 2017, the same day ‘The Voice’ will be first broadcast on ITV, after the channel outbid the BBC for the rights to the series.
A source said: “Both shows are being shot in the same studios, which is extra-awkward. Gary has even told people that as soon as he found out Let It Shine was up against ‘The Voice’, the BBC show upped the ante.
“And there’s no plan to rule out a 15-minute window where both shows are on.”
Despite a possible overlap, ‘Let It Shine’ – which will feature judges Gary, Martin Kemp, Dannii Minogue and guest panellist Lulu – is expected to start earlier than The Voice’s 8pm kick-off time.
But there are concerns about the two shows launching on the same day because such a move may go against a government white paper outlining BBC guidelines which stated any scheduling clashes should consider “the best interest of viewers”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Samia Ghadie’s daughter wants to be in ‘Coronation Street’.
The 34-year-old actress – who has Freya, seven, from a past relationship and Yves, 15 months, with husband Sylvain Longchambon – thinks the youngster is very “dramatic” and loves coming to visit her on the set of the ITV soap.
She said: “Freya goes to a local musical theatre school on Thursdays and loves it. She is very dramatic.
“She is so much more confident than I was at her age.
“She loves coming in to see me at work. The other week she saw one of the girls from the casting department.
“She did a star shape with her arms and said, ‘I’m going to be in ‘Corrie’ when I grow up’. They said they didn’t doubt it.”
But it seems Freya isn’t the only member of the household that wants to join Samia – who has played hairdresser Maria Connor for 16 years – on the show.
Her husband, former ‘Dancing on Ice’ professional Sylvain, said: “I think Maria should get a new French boyfriend. She could go ice skating and meet him.”
Samia can’t believe she’s been in ‘Corrie’ as long as she has, but insists she has no plans to leave.
She told OK! magazine: “I was 17 [when I joined]. It’s half my life now. That is just mental.
“My original contract was for three months – it seemed like a long time at the time.
“I was at the Cannes Film Festival promoting the film ‘There’s Only One Jimmy Grimble’ and everybody kept asking me when I was leaving ‘Corrie’.
“I’m really happy. I’ve literally grown up there, but that feels nice. With the storylines I’ve been getting, why would I leave?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Noel Gallagher turned down an offer to appear on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 49-year-old guitarist was approached to take part in numerous TV shows when he quit Oasis in 2009 and took a break from the limelight until he returned with his debut solo album ‘Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ in 2011.
Noel can recall getting a phone call from his manager telling him producers wanted him for the BBC One ballroom show, but the offer was met with silence.
During an appearance on Steve Lamacq’s show on BBC Radio 6 Music on Friday afternoon (09.12.16), he spilled: “I was asked to go on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. It was just when Oasis split up and I didn’t do anything for like a couple of years. There’s obviously someone there going, ‘You know what. He’ll be up for it now. He’ll be desperate now.’ My manager called me up, saying I don’t really want to, legally, I have to inform you of this. Are you aware of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’?’ ‘EEE,’ the phone goes.’ ”
Noel was also once asked to appear on ‘Top Gear’ to take part in the ‘Star in a Reasonably Priced Car’ test track segment.
However, the ‘D’You Know What I Mean?’ hitmaker – who was joined in Oasis by his estranged brother Liam Gallagher – spurned the offer as he can’t drive.
He revealed: “I was asked to go on ‘Top Gear’ a lot and they would never ever seem to realise what I was saying when I say, ‘But I can’t drive.’ ‘Don’t worry about that, Jeremy (Clarkson) will sort that out.’ It’s like, ‘How? I can’t drive. I haven’t got a licence I cannot drive a car’. ‘Don’t worry about that, The Stig will teach you.’ ”
Noel has made no secret of the fact that Simon Cowell personally asked him to be a judge on ‘The X Factor’ but he had to politely decline the job because he knew his personality wouldn’t suit the format of the pop star search show.
He said: “Yeah. I can’t be bothered being on ‘The X Factor’, it’s hard work all that kind of thing, you know what I mean? You’d have to be there every Saturday night, as well as sitting there in, you know, Birmingham Arena, sitting there thinking ‘Kill me now.’ Someone else ‘Flying Without Wings.’ This is just appalling. Clearly, you know, ‘No.’ ”

OHMYGOSSIP — Saara Aalto has invited her fiancée and her ex-boyfriend to ‘The X Factor’ final this weekend.
The 29-year-old contestant is hoping to impress the public and mentor Sharon Osbourne in this weekend’s final at London’s Wembley SSE Arena, and has recruited the support of her current fiancée Meri Sopanen as well as her former lover Teemu Roivainen – who she previously dated for nine years.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’, when asked if her ex-boyfriend will be joining her, she confirmed: “Yes, he’s coming.”
And asked when she will be exchanging vows with her fiancée, Saara revealed: “I think we’re going to wait for maybe another two years, we will see.”
The Finnish star has been rehearsing ahead of the final show in which she will compete against 5 After Midnight and Matt Terry.
And while she remained tight-lipped about her rumoured duet with Adam Lambert, Saara did confirm she’ll be singing Tears for Fears’ hit ‘Everybody Wants To Rule The World’.
But she promised:”My version will be a bit different.”
Meanwhile, Saara believes she now has a good chance of winning the show, because she has won over the British public.
Earlier in the competition, Saraa almost lost her place in the competition when she found herself in the bottom two sing-off but she’s gone from strength-to-strength week after week.
She said: “I think I just needed some time because I came from another country and people wasn’t sure if they liked me or not.
“Then when weeks went by people were like, ‘We like Saraa’s voice,’ and, ‘We like her personality and her performances.’ And yeah, they’re voting for me. I feel so grateful that people are voting for me and this is my new home, I want to stay here, I want to make my career here.”
