OHMYGOSSIP — Emily Middlemas bonded with Simon Cowell’s son Eric.
The ‘X Factor’ contestant – who was given the boot from the competition in Sunday (04.12.16) night’s show – believes she had such a close bond with her mentor because his two-year-old toddler, who he has with his partner Lauren Silverman, loved her.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Monday (05.12.16), she said: “We (me and Simon) got on well and I think it’s because I had a really good connection with his son Eric.
“In rehearsal Eric came and sat next to me and he had these headphones on and was swaying side-to-side and Simon was like, ‘Was that OK Eric?’ And he was like, ‘Yep!’ ”
The 18-year-old wannabe singer may not have made the final but she secured a place on the show’s tour, which kicks off in February, and is looking forward to Christmas.
She said: “I love Christmas songs so I’m very excited and I can’t wait for the tour, I’ve never been on a massive tour before, I’m so excited, it’s going to be amazing.”
Emily has been flooded with support since she joined the show back in the summer, and one person who has been her biggest fan is her boyfriend Ryan Lawrie.
The handsome star – who was also given the chop from the competition two weeks ago – took to his Twitter account to declare his love for the brunette beauty just before the judges – Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger – opted to save her rival Matt Terry and put him through to next week’s final and give her the boot.
He wrote: “I am the proudest boyfriend ever. You have achieved so much. You are a beautiful person and have an amazing future ahead. #EmilyWeLoveYou (sic).”

OHMYGOSSIP — Scarlett Moffatt is planning to quit ‘Gogglebox’.
The 26-year-old reality TV star – who made a name for herself watching television with her family – will reportedly decide to bow out of the programme now that she’s been crowned queen of the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ jungle in Sunday (04.12.16) night’s show and is set to rake in “millions of pounds” from TV deals.
Scarlett’s mother Betty told The Sun newspaper: “If we don’t go back [to ‘Gogglebox’, we don’t. That’s up to Channel 4. It’s opened a lot of doors for Scarlett and has enabled her to achieve some of her dreams. There’s no negative. The thing I’ve enjoyed most is getting to spend time with her every week. She’s not a celebrity, she’s just our Scarlett.”
Although it’s believed the brunette beauty’s career will explode following her stint in the jungle, Betty and her husband Mark don’t think their daughter will let the success go to her head and will remain very “grounded” once she returns to the UK this week.
Betty – who works at a clothes store – explained: “She’s very grounded and I hope she’ll always stay like that. She just watches TV. She’s a normal girl.”
Producers from different channels have been watching Scarlett since she entered the jungle three weeks ago and have been in touch with her management about future television shows as they believe her witty one-liners will rake in viewers.
A source said recently: “There has even been talk of her fronting her own TV show.
“Scarlett will be ecstatic. She went into the jungle in the hope that it would lead to TV work. This is her chance to go from someone known for watching TV on her sofa to someone known for being on TV in her own right.”
And it’s not just television work that has come off the back of the jungle, as it’s thought Scarlett has also been offered a publishing deal to pen her own autobiography.

OHMYGOSSIP — Joel Dommett has “cut so many people out” of his life since he went into the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ jungle last month.
The 30-year-old comedian – who came runner up in Sunday (04.12.16) night’s show after Scarlett Moffatt took the crown – has admitted the three weeks he spent in the Australian outback has given him time to re-evaluate who he interacts with on a day-to-day basis and his given him the courage to axe the people he longer wants around him.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’ on Monday (05.12.16), she said: “You have time to think. You don’t have a phone, you don’t have distractions, there’s no news, there’s no wonderful morning television so you just sit there and you think. You just think about all the people you love, all the people you hate, it’s wonderful – I’ve cut so many people out of my life.”
Once he left the jungle, Joel – who won a three-course meal on Saturday (03.12.16) with two drinks and a treat – stuffed his face with two cheese cakes and had a meat feast.
The hunk – who has lived on a diet of rice and beans for three weeks – explained: “I’ve eaten two cheese cakes and a steak and chips. I had a shower, I got out the shower and then I got dressed and then I just got back in the shower again.”
And Joel is expecting his career to catapult following his successful stint on the show and can’t wait to get back to the UK to pick up his comedy act again.
He said: “I’m to exploit it terribly. I’m very busy, I’m touring at the moment. I’m very excited just to get back and do some comedy and hopefully I’ll get enough money to buy David Beckham’s house (the mansion he’s selling for £24 million in Los Angeles).”

OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Thomas’ brother Ryan thinks ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ is fixed.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ actor lashed out at the creepy-crawly show after his 28-year-old sibling finished third place in Sunday (04.12.16) night’s finale, despite proving a huge hit with viewers over the past three weeks he’s been in the jungle.
Taking to his Twitter account after it was revealed Scarlett Moffatt – who went on to win the show – and Joel Dommett had made it to first and second place, Ryan fumed: “Not having it!!!! Absolutely gutted!!! Doesn’t make sense!!! (sic)”
The 32-year-old hunk subsequently retweeted a series of messages from his celebrity pals and fans of the show that supported Adam.
‘Coronation Street’ star Tina O’Brien wrote: “Are you actually kidding me?! @adamthomas21 didn’t win! UGHH at least he gets to be with his family (sic)”
And former Blue singer Antony Costa explained: “Thought it was a no brainer fella…your bro has done so well though (sic)”
But the girlfriend of Ryan and Adam’s brother Scott, Kady McDermott, went one step further by claiming the programme was fixed from the beginning.
She wrote in a now-deleted post: “Fix. Good night. (sic)”
She later added: “They knew their winner before the show even started… Anyway he’s the winner in our eyes he did AMAZING!!!! #KingAdam. (sic)”
Meanwhile, Scarlett may have lifted the crown but she has found herself in hot water after she claimed she had a severe phobia of small spaces – even though there are numerous photographs of her standing in a confined lift on her Instagram page.
During her time in the Australian jungle, Scarlett said she hoped that her final Bushtucker trial would help her get over her fear.
But as she was covered in creepy crawlies during her final trial, the ‘Gogglebox’ star said: “I can feel myself getting upset.
“But I feel if I can do this I might finally be able to go in lifts because I was on the 34th floor out here and I walked the stairs because I can’t stand small spaces.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Carr wants to host the ‘Eurovision Song Contest’.
The 40-year-old comedian is desperate to take over from current host Graham Norton – who has fronted it since 2009 – next year as he believes he would be able to do the commentating job just as good and he’d have great fun.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “I really want to emulate Graham Norton in terms of mainstream appeal. He can talk to people like Joan Collins about vaginas and then he can go and do ‘Eurovision’. I could do that. It would be so much fun.”
His new dream to commentate the show, which sees countries in Europe battle against one another in a singing competition, comes just months after his famous chat show ‘Alan Carr: Chatty Man’ was axed from Channel 4 after it was struggling to pull in as many viewers as its rival chat show ‘The Graham Norton Show’.
After learning that his programme was being given the boot, Alan admitted he’d love to “try something different” and doesn’t just want to be known for doing a chat show.
He said: “I don’t want, when this ends next year is all I’ve done is a chat show. I want to try new things, so I want to try something a bit different.
“Booking three guests on a Wednesday, you’ve got to have three guests on the sofa and it’s just getting harder and harder.”
However, although some fans were sad to hear that ‘Chatty Man’ had been taken off air, the host – who is known for his high-pitched voice – reassured viewers recently that he’d come back to the screens with spin-off show ‘Alan Carr: Happy Hour’.
Alan is hoping the new format will attract a younger audience and has ditched the in-depth interviews and alcohol shots with his celebrity guests for games with an interactive studio audience.
It’s first episode was aired on Friday (02.12.16) and featured guests Rebel Wilson, Honey G and James Arthur.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tony Gardner contracted the Zika virus while filming ‘Death in Paradise’ in the summer.
The 52-year-old actor – who is also a qualified doctor – fell unwell while shooting the next series of the detective drama in Guadeloupe, an island group in the southern Caribbean Sea, in August and believes the show could have been the culprit for “quite a lot” of the 265 Britons, who were infected, picking up the contagious disease.
Speaking in a podcast hosted by Sean Hughes, he said: “Quite a lot of them, possibly, come from the group of people that go out to Guadeloupe for six months a year to film.”
However, the ‘Last Tango In Halifax’ star is convinced he’s to blame for picking up the Zika virus – a disease spread by infected mosquitoes biting humans – because he was too lax on his repellent while he was on the island for two weeks.
He explained: “In retrospect I should have been more aggressive with the repellent. About a couple of hours before I flew out, I got a rash. And then for a week I wasn’t particularly well with joint pain and swelling, didn’t like the light, I just felt pretty rough.”
The Zika virus is harmful for pregnant women or people wanting to start a family because it has been linked to severe birth defects and, in particular, small heads.
Tony – who has a daughter – said: “It’s not a problem for me because I’ve finished my family. It’s quite dangerous for people getting pregnant or men starting families.”
The actor – who no longer practices as a doctor – has also hinted that his infected colleagues who helped shoot the series may become part of a medical case study.
He said: “Part of the study my friend’s hopefully going to do is talking about this and the symptoms and how long they last. It’s an ongoing thing and a very newish disease.”
Although a small number of the cast contracted the virus, a spokesperson for the production team is adamant insect repellent was on hand at all times while filming.

OHMYGOSSIP — Judge Rinder has tipped Louise Redknapp to win ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 38-year-old television personality narrowly missed out on a place in the BBC One latin and ballroom show’s semi-final after fellow contestant Ore Oduba won the dance-off on Sunday (04.12.16), but has said he’d love to see the 42-year-old singer and her professional dance partner Kevin Clifton take home the glitterball trophy.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I’ve made such amazing friends that I would be happy if any of them went on to win it.
“But I think Louise has the most to gain after coming out of her shell and growing in confidence.”
Louise and Kevin have been at the top end of the leaderboard for most of the competition with their biggest rivals being ‘Hollyoaks’ star Danny Mac and his dance partner Oti Mabuse.
Meanwhile, after leaving the competition, Rinder said: “I honestly don’t know what to say, every single person involved in this programme has so much love for it and that permeates through the screen. It’s a joy to be here, every single person, there’s too many people to thank but I even want to thank the judges. I know how difficult it is sometimes to be a judge and you do it with authenticity and enthusiasm and thank you all for your comments.
“And my last thank you and my most important one is to this truly extraordinary person, this teacher that has shown me from somebody who could barely walk to music with no dance experience at all, to find a passion and a love for dance and that’s the best kind of teaching. You are never too old to try something new and everyone should try dancing, thank you so much.”
‘Strictly Come Dancing’ returns on Saturday December 10, where the remaining celebrities will have to do two dances in a bid to impress the judges.

OHMYGOSSIP — Joel Dommett has been “dreaming” of moving to Australia permanently after his stint in ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’.
The 30-year-old comedian was named as the runner-up in the jungle-based reality show during Sunday’s (04.12.16) final, and has expressed an interest in leaving the UK behind for good as he believes he can make a name for himself in Melbourne.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Joel has been dreaming about a move to Oz because he thinks he can carve a name for himself out there.
“He’s also weighing up areas in New Zealand too.”
And it wasn’t just his time in the Australian wilderness that made Joel want to relocate, as before entering the jungle he expressed his love for Melbourne’s comedy festivals.
He said: “I have a lot of fondness for Melbourne and its comedy festivals.
“I would love to keep going back and just seeing what happens. That’s my focus now.”
Joel came in second place, beating ‘Emmerdale’ actor Adam Thomas, but falling short of ‘Gogglebox’s Scarlett Moffatt who was named Queen of the Jungle.
Of his time on ‘I’m A Celeb’, he said: “I knew it was going to be a good experience. I didn’t think the highs would be so high and the lows would be so low. It was incredible. I’m going to miss the simplicity of it. It’s so simple in there.”
And the star also claimed facing his fear of heights in his first Bushtucker Trial – which involved him walking out on a plank on top of a sky scraper – was the “hardest” part of the show.
He said: “The first one was definitely the hardest. I took two steps in and it was the closest I came to, in the whole show, to saying I need to stop this. But then that helped with the rest of the experience.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Adam Thomas has placed third on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’.
The ‘Emmerdale’ star has been booted off the ITV show, leaving Scarlett Moffatt and Joel Dommett to battle it out to be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle.
Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec after his exit, he said: “I’m just happy I got this far. I didn’t expect to get to the final so this is just unbelievable … What an experience. I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. It was just laughter after laughter. The two left in there [Scarlett and Joel] deserve it so much.
“It’s been a lot tougher than expected; I never thought it would be that tough. You have your up days and your down days. At the beginning, I found it really tough but as the days went on, it became easier. I can’t believe I got to the final three. It’s unbelievable. I was in there from the start and I’m in there ’til the end.”
Whilst he was in the jungle, Adam took part in no less than 11 Bushtucker trials where he managed to earn a whopping 49 stars.
Asked which trial was the worst, he shared: “I didn’t expect to do two or one. Each one got worse and worse but I just faced every fear possible. The last one I did was horrible; it was the fact the spiders were right there. I was just waiting for them to come in at the last minute but I did it and I got all the stars.”
Adam got on really well with all his campmates and gushed about his bromance with Joel but he is rooting for Scarlett to win.
He added: “I think everyone got on. I came in here wanting a bromance and I got one with every one of the boys in there – to Wayne, to Jordan, to Joel. To go in with Joel and to be with him in the final, I wish him all the luck …
“Scarlett watched it from such a long age and for her to win it and become Queen of the Jungle, she deserves it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Scarlett Moffatt has won ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here’.
The ‘Gogglebox’ star has been handed the Queen of the Jungle title, beating comedian Joel Dommett to the crown.
Speaking after her win, she said: “I feel dizzy. I can’t believe it, oh my god. Never did I ever think this would happen. Oh my god.”
Before receiving her flower crown from last year’s winner Vicky Pattison, the 26-year-old television personality spoke to hosts Ant and Dec about her experience in the jungle.
She told them: “I might be the only person whoever says this – but I wish I could do it all again. It’s just amazing. It’s beyond any [expectations] that I thought. I’ve never felt so happy, which is weird because I hate camping. I’m not going to miss sleeping in a hammock but I’m going to miss waking up and hearing everyone chatting. It’s just been amazing …
“It’s been a massive learning curve; I feel like I need to have more confidence in myself because I doubt myself constantly. Doing the trials and stuff, I feel like a much more confident person coming on here. I didn’t expect it to have any life effects on me, I just thought it was going to be really fun.”
During her time on the show, Scarlett got to take part in her favourite ever Bushtucker trial, Celebrity Cyclone, and admits it was something on her bucket list.
She shared: “It was on my bucket list after meeting you two [Ant and Dec]. Some people dream of winning a million pounds but mine was doing the Cyclone. It was so good. All my life, I was waiting for this and I couldn’t get out the trench. And all of them were spinning around like, ‘C’mon Scarlett! You can do it!'”
Meanwhile, second placed Joel faced one of his biggest fears early on in the show when he had to walk out on a plank on top of a skyscraper.
Speaking about that particular trial, he said: “The first one was definitely the hardest. I took two steps in and it was the closest I came to, in the whole show, to saying I need to stop this. But then that helped with the rest of the experience.”
Referring to his general experience in the jungle, he added: “I knew it was going to be a good experience. I didn’t think the highs would be so high and the lows would be so low. It was incredible. I’m going to miss the simplicity of it. It’s so simple in there.”
