Linda Gray has crush on her Hollyoaks co-stars

OHMYGOSSIP — Linda Gray has a crush on all her male co-stars in ‘Hollyoaks’.
The ‘Dallas’ beauty has just joined the Channel 4 soap as feisty mother Tabitha Maxwell-Brown and, although she’s only just started shooting her scenes, she’s already developed a soft spot for the majority male cast and can’t resist staring at them when she’s meant to be working.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, Linda explained: “All the men on ‘Hollyoaks’ are just yummy. They’re delicious. It was like going to an art gallery.
“I could appreciate what was in front of me, but I didn’t take it home. I’ve relaxed into life. This is the best time of my life and I have more fun now.”
And, although she’s settled in already, the 76-year-old actress had no idea what ‘Hollyoaks’ was when she was dished out the script from producers and had to rely on her British friends to explain.
She said: “I love England, I read the script, she’s feisty, I love the feisty ones.
“I asked all my British friends ‘What is ‘Hollyoaks’?’ and they all said it was a great idea.
“I’m 76 and I feel amazing – Maybe better than I did when I was younger. My motto is ‘choose wisely’ – and I think I’ve chosen wisely.”
Linda – known for portraying long-suffering wife Sue Ellen Ewing in ‘Dallas’ between 1978 and 1989 – announced she had joined ‘Hollyoaks’ last month and was “thrilled” she had been chose by bosses.
She said at the time: “I’m thrilled to be going from one iconic series to another and can’t wait to work with the fantastic cast.
“‘Hollyoaks’ viewers are going to love it when Tabby whips up a storm just like Sue Ellen did.”
Although Linda’s appearance in the show will only last a week, bosses have left the door open for a future return.
‘Hollyoaks’ Executive producer Bryan Kirkwood explained: “When we came to discuss who could possibly play Marnie’s [Lysette Anthony] mother the list was very small.
“Lysette Anthony has fast become a fabulous soap bitch so having Linda Gray play her mother Tabitha is the perfect fit.We can’t wait to have an international TV icon arrive in Chester and become part of the ‘Hollyoaks’ family.”

Charlotte Crosby 'can't wait' to get married

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlotte Crosby “cannot wait” to marry and have children.
The former ‘Geordie Shore’ star – who is currently single – admits some of her friends think that, at 26, she is too young to settle down, but she doesn’t think she has anything left to achieve.
She said: “I just cannot wait to get married and have babies – I want to do it now.
“When I say I want a child, my friends say, ‘Charlotte, no, you’re 26’. But I just say, ‘What else do I have to do?’ I’ve travelled the world, done all these business projects and had the best times. I’ve got drunk for five years of my life and had more nights out over those years than I’ve had nights in. I’ve done so much at 26 – things that people in their normal lives could only dream of. I’m now ready for the next step – I want to get married and have children. I’ve already chosen my babies’ names.”
Earlier this year, Charlotte had a nose job and regularly undergoes Botox, fillers and lip injections, but despite speculation about undergoing further work, she insists she hasn’t had anything else done nor does she have plans to as she is happy with the way she looks.
She told Closer magazine: “I don’t want any more surgery, I’m 100 per cent happy with how I look right now. I don’t regret any of it because t’s made me so much more confident. I think Ferne McCann looks amazing after her nose job, she looks so natural. That’s the best look I think.
“But saying that, everyone is beautiful, no matter how much you want to change.”

Piers Morgan: Honey G is 'grotesque'

OHMYGOSSIP — Piers Morgan finds ‘X Factor’ contestant Honey G “grotesque”.
The 35-year-old rapper – real name Anna Georgette Gilford – has been dividing the public with her performances on the ITV talent competition, and a number of celebrities have spoken out about her unique style of entertainment, with the 51-year-old TV presenter branding her the “worst act” he’s ever seen on the show.
He said: “The Honey G thing makes me physically vomit.
“They keep talking about her being a unique artist. She is uniquely diabolical. I have never seen a worse act on ‘The X Factor’ or any talent show!
“If I had been on that panel, I would have buzzed her off in about three seconds. The fact that she is still there is grotesque. She is showing no sign of improvement. If anything there has been a marked deterioration the more show performs.”
Piers also compared Honey G to ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contestant Ed Balls, who, despite consistently finding himself at the bottom of the leaderboard, has been showing signs of “improvement”.
He continued: “(With) Ed Balls on ‘Strictly’, at least you see some growth, some development, some improvement! He is incredibly entertaining in a way I just don’t get it with Honey G.”
And the outspoken star has even offered to step in as a “guest judge” in order to get Honey G off the show, as he says the current judging panel – Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, and Nicole Scherzinger – “have all lost their marbles”.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Piers said: “I just don’t get Honey G. I don’t find it funny, I don’t find it entertaining. I think all the judges have all lost their marbles.
“They need a reality check which may have to be me coming in as a guest judge for one show just to get rid of her! I’m available!”

Michael Fassbender prays for inspiration

By
Helena-Reet Ennet

OHMYGOSSIP — Michael Fassbender “prays to relatives who are gone” when he has to film an emotional scene.
The 39-year-old actor is very close to his family so if he has to channel sadness in his work, he just thinks about those who has passed away as he always feels reassured that they are “looking out” for him.
He said of his family: “They’re very much a part of who I am. Somebody was asking me last night, when I do emotional scenes, how do I go about getting there? What I do more often than not is pray to relatives who are gone. I feel like they are there with me. There are times in life where I’ve just thought, ‘Somebody was looking after me there. Somebody was looking out for me.’ ”
The ‘Assassin’s Creed’ actor finds preparing for his movies “tough” because he prefers to be around, and collaborating with, other people.
He told Esquire magazine: “The prep – spending hours and hours by myself, reading and rereading the script – I find that to be the tough part.”
And Michael’s ‘Steve Jobs’ co-star Kate Winslet doesn’t think it is important for her friend to “take risks” as he just wants to tackle roles that will “challenge” him.
She told the publication: “I don’t think Michael gives a f**k about ‘taking risks’. It’s not in his nature to say, ‘How far can I push this envelope?’ He just wants to play characters that he knows will challenge him.”
While Michael can next be seen playing Callum Lynch and his 15th century ancestor Aguilar de Nerha in ‘Assassin’s Creed’ – which is based on the video game of the same name – he admits it has been a long time since he had a “serious stint” playing games on his computer.
He said: “The last time I had a serious stint with video games was 2000.
“There was a period of time where I was working in this warehouse at night. I would come home in the morning and just sit down in front of this racing game – I can’t remember the name of it – and play it over and over.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Damon has a cameo role in ‘Oceans Eight’.
The 46-year-old actor played pickpocket Linus Caldwell in the 2001 movie ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, and then again in 2004’s ‘Ocean’s Twelve’ and ‘Ocean’s Thirteen’ in 2007 – and he has now revealed he will be given a small part in the all-female reboot of the popular movie franchise.
‘Ocean’s Eight’ will star Anne Hathaway, Sandra Bullock, Helena Bonham Carter, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling and rapper Awkwafina, who will take over the roles previously played by the likes of George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
Although the plot has been kept under wraps, it has been reported that the film will see the girl gang undergo a heist at the Met Gala.
While Matt couldn’t say much about the project, he told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I’m doing a little bit in the movie. I haven’t read it yet, but the cast is phenomenal and I’m excited to see what those women do with it. It’s going to be fun.”
Matt previously gave the upcoming movie high praise, claiming it was “going to be awesome”.
He said: “I think it’s going to be awesome. “They’re going to kick ass.”
And ‘Ocean’s Eight’ director Gary Ross has promised the new motion picture will be an “extension and a continuation” of the previous movies.
He said: “You know, Steven Soderbergh (who directed the Clooney-trilogy) and I are incredibly close friends, and we would not have done this if we weren’t.
“I don’t think he would’ve wanted anyone to do it if we weren’t. This is very much an extension and a continuation. He’s a producer on the movie.”
‘Ocean’s Eight’ will be released on June 8, 2018.

Gavin O'Connor to direct Green Hornet reboot

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Green Hornet’ is returning to cinema screens.
Paramount and Chernin Entertainment have snapped up the rights to the character and his alter ego Britt Reid after Sony let them go, and director Gavin O’Connor is planning a more serious take on the franchise than its last outing, 2011 action comedy ‘The Green Hornet’ which starred Seth Rogen in the title role.
The filmmaker admitted bringing Reid and his sidekick Kato to life is a long-held dream.
He told Deadline: “I’ve been wanting to make this movie – and create this franchise – since I’ve wanted to make movies.
“As a kid, when most of my friends were into Superman and Batman, there was only one superhero who held my interest: The Green Hornet.
“I always thought he was the baddest badass because he had no superpowers. The Green Hornet was a human superhero. And he didn’t wear a clown costume.
“And he was a criminal – in the eyes of the law – and in the eyes of the criminal world. So all this felt real to me.
“Imagine climbing to the top of the Himalayas, or Mount Everest, or K2 over and over again and no one ever knew? You can never tell anybody. That’s the life of Britt and Kato. What they do, they can never say. They don’t take credit for anything.”
The filmmaker already has a strong vision for the movie – which will be written by Sean O’Keefe – and describes it as “Batman upside down” with influences from the Bourne franchise and ‘American Sniper’.
He added: “‘The Green Hornet’ is ultimately a film about self-discovery.
“When we meet Britt Reid he’s lost faith in the system. Lost faith in service. In institutions. If that’s the way the world works, that’s what the world’s going to get. He’s a man at war with himself. A secret war of self that’s connected to the absence of his father. It’s the dragon that’s lived with him that he needs to slay.
“And the journey he goes on to become ‘The Green Hornet’ is the dramatisation of it, and becomes Britt’s true self.
“I think of this film as Batman upside down meets Bourne inside out by way of Chris Kyle. He’s the anti-Bruce Wayne. His struggle: Is he a saviour or a destroyer?
“Britt made money doing bad things, but moving forward he’s making no money doing good things.
“He must realise his destiny as a protector and force of justice by becoming the last thing he thought he’d ever become: his father’s son. Which makes him a modern Hamlet. By uncovering his past, and the truth of his father, Britt unlocks the future.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Steve Carell is in talks to appear in ‘Minecraft’.
The 54-year-old actor has entered discussions with Warner Bros. about being the first big-name star signed up to the movie, according to Variety.
Rob McElhenney will direct the motion picture and has also written the latest draft script alongside Jason Fuchs.
The film will be a big screen adaptation of the popular video game, which was first released in November 2011.
The game enables players to create their own environments using textured cubes in a 3D world while doing battle with monsters.
Several different modes are available to play on the game, such as survival mode, in which gamers have to build a world good enough to keep them alive.
Warner Bros. acquired the rights to the motion picture in February from Swedish video game developer Mojang AB.
The title has spawned several spin-off games, including ‘Minecraft: Story Mode’ and ‘Minecraft: Education Edition’.
The film has been scheduled for release on May 25, 2019.
Carell is currently shooting sports comedy-drama movie ‘Battle of the Sexes’ alongside Emma Stone and Sarah Silverman, and is also set to once again lend his vocal talents to the character Gru in ‘Despicable Me 3’.
What’s more, he was recently seen in romantic comedy-drama film ‘Cafe Society’ alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart and Blake Lively.

Sophie Kasaei is kicked off Geordie Shore

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Sophie Kasaei has reportedly been axed from ‘Geordie Shore’.
The 27-year-old reality TV star has only just returned to the boozy MTV show following her departure in 2013, but her appearance didn’t last long as she’s now been given the boot from the infamous house after she intervened in the bust up between Chloe Ferry and newcomer Zahida Allen, which turned violent following a night out during filming for series 14, according to the Mirror Online.
Sophie’s sacking comes after it emerged Chloe allegedly jumped on top of the former pageant star, who was caught holding hands with her former flame Marty McKenna and started kicking in the head when she returned to the house.
A source said recently: “Chloe was completely mortal. She kicked off in the club after seeing Marty holding hands with Zahida. She was totally radge. All of a sudden Zahida was cowering on the floor and it looked like Chloe kicked her in the head. Chloe had been drinking all night and just lost it. She was kicked out and sent home in a cab.”
And it has yet to be confirmed whether the 22-year-old buxom brunette will return to the programme or not following the incident but it’s looking highly unlikely at this stage.
A source explained: “It’s not looking good for Chloe. It’s not clear if she’ll be allowed to return for the rest of the series.”
Meanwhile, Holly Hagan and Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle are the only two remaining stars who were part of the original series when it first aired in 2011.
However, the 24-year-old blonde beauty has hinted things will never be the same without former housemate Charlotte Crosby and Sophie.
She tweeted: “RIP to the Gshore we once knew. So glad I was there from day one. Never be the same @Charlottegshore (sic).”

I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle taken over by flesh-eating bug

By
Helena-Reet Ennet

OHMYGOSSIP — The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ jungle has been taken over by a flesh-eating eye bug.
The cast and crew of the popular creepy-crawly show could be at risk of developing the horrific disease called Acanthamoeba keratitis, which causes extreme pain and even blindness, as the camp based in Murwillumbah, Australia, conditions are perfect for the parasite to thrive.
Leading UK laser eye surgeon Dr David Allamby, medical director at London’s Focus Clinic, told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Acanthamoeba keratitis is an infection which can cause serious and life-changing consequences. It can also be excruciatingly painful. The cornea is one of the most sensitive organs in the human body, containing a high density of pain receptors.
“The biggest risk of exposure to the organism is through water, and in turn poor hygiene. The vast majority of cases involve contact lens wearers, particularly where lenses aren’t cleaned properly.
“But anyone nursing a corneal injury is susceptible to developing the infection.The bad news for those involved with ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ is that they are well and truly in the danger zone – there has been a well-documented ‘cluster’ of cases in that precise area near Brisbane in recent years, which has had Australian surgeons extremely worried. With many of the show’s tasks based around water, and with the added risk of a participant scratching their eye.”
But it’s not just the flesh-eating bug that has worried producers of the show, as the camp has also been invaded by deadly spiders and poisonous snakes over the past few days.
Eight funnel-webs, the world’s deadliest spider, and a brown snake, the world’s second most venomous land snake, were discovered in a camera hide near to where the camp mates sleep.
The show’s doctor Bob said: “In Australia we have the world’s most dangerous spider which is the funnel web. In fact this year in one of the camera hides we found eight. That’s the most we’ve ever found in one day. There is an anti-venom and of course none of the celebs have ever been bitten by them – a couple of crew have been bitten in the past. Normally we don’t get brown snakes – we haven’t had one for 15 years. They prefer open paddocks. And ours is a rainforest. last week we found one in the top helipad. They are very vicious snakes.”
This year’s camp mates consist of Larry Lamb, Carol Vorderman, Lisa Snowdon, Adam Thomas, Scarlett Moffatt, Sam Quek, Ola Jordan, Jordan Banjo, Joel Dommett and Wayne Bridge, although some more celebrities are set to be thrown into the mix this week.

Kara Tointon has 'great' long-term memory

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Kara Tointon has a “really great” long-term memory.
The 33-year-old actress has opened up on numerous occasions about her tough battle with dyslexia – a common learning difficulty that can cause problems with reading, writing and spelling – but, although she struggles with literacy, she has admitted her ability to remember things from when she was a child is out of this world.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Tuesday (15.11.16), she said: “I also have a really great long-term memory, so I remember things from years ago. When it’s in, it’s in.”
And, although her job on screen and stage requires her to learn pages of lines, the former ‘EastEnders’ star has developed her own techniques to help her out.
She explained: “I think you go about your life and you deal with things how you deal with them. I didn’t realise I did anything different to anyone else until I looked into it while doing the documentary, and it does take me a little time.
“It’s not a problem. I have little techniques and mechanisms. I have these special glasses that are tinted green and it means I can read with a lovely flow, whereas before it was a bit stagnated. I don’t really have any problems.”
Kara had a highly successful career on the BBC One soap but decided to walk away from her role as Dawn Swann in 2009 following four years on screen.
She initially thought her career had dried up after she failed to secure any big parts shortly after, but was thrown a lifeline in 2010 when she won ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
She said: “Doing ‘Strictly…’ was me saying ‘I’m going to do something else, but why not Salsa my way to it. I got back to where I wanted to be. I’m very fortunate.”

Ryan Reynolds sad Tim Miller left Deadpool

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Reynolds is “sad” Tim Miller won’t be directing ‘Deadpool 2’.
The 40-year-old actor – who plays the titular character and his alter ego Wade Wilson – declined to comment on claims the filmmaker had departed the sequel due to creative differences between them, but showered him with praise over the work he did on the first installment in the Marvel saga.
When asked if the rumours were true, he shared: “All I can really add is that I’m sad to see him off the film.
“Tim’s brilliant and nobody worked harder on ‘Deadpool’ than he did.”
Making ‘Deadpool’ was a labour of love for Ryan and took 11 years to come to fruition, and he admitted his passion for the project often conflicted with Tim’s vision for the movie, making production “very, very difficult”.
He told GQ magazine: “Making the movie was very, very difficult. It was the most passionate group of individuals I’ve ever worked with in my life.
“And for whatever reason, that mercurial crazy burgoo of people is what made this thing work so well, not just because I had this vision and I saw it this way and it had to be this way. It worked because we all had that feeling.
“But there were vaguely scary fights in the post-production process that escalated quickly. Luckily, everybody’s grown up and at the end of the day enjoys and loves each other.”
However, they were able to reach a comfortable working relationship by recognising where their expertise lay.
Ryan explained: “I know when I need to exert control, and I know when I need to let go of it.
“I’m not gonna go and sit with Tim Miller and say, ‘The visual effects of ‘Deadpool’ need to be done this way.’ The man is a visual-effects wizard.
“But there are character and tone things that I know really well. And I’ve also been with this thing the longest out of anybody, aside from the guys that wrote the comics.
“Eleven years I’ve been trying to get this Sisyphus rock up the hill, and it kept rolling back on top of me. So I’m gonna be all the f**k over it from the moment it starts to the moment it finishes.”

Eddie Redmayne has 'wand wrist [and] wizard elbow' after filming duel scenes

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Eddie Redmayne had “wand wrist” and “wizard elbow” after filming the duel scenes for ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them’.
The 34-year-old actor – who pays the role of Newt Scamander in the fantasy film – has admitted the magic wand is a “hazard” because both Redmayne and his co-star Colin Farrell, who plays Percival Graves in the production, suffered from sore limbs after rehearsing for the “huge wizard duels” because they were “throwing” their arms around constantly whilst shooting the scene.
Speaking to Time Out magazine about the aftermath of their combats, the dark-haired hunk said: “The wand thing is hilarious. There is a part of you that’s seven years old again when the director says ‘Choose your wand.’ Then you feel like a fool, standing there with a stick in your hand. And there were injuries – wand wrist, wizard elbow.
“That was genuinely a thing! We were doing these huge wizard duels, throwing your arm around left, right and centre. Colin [Farrell] and I came in one day, and we said to each other: ‘Mate, is your arm a bit sore?’ It’s a hazard.”
And the ‘Theory of Everything’ star, who has four-month-old daughter Iris with his wife Hannah Bagshawe, has revealed he was “zonked” after filming the new film and has decided to take some much needed time off from his busy schedule, which will be the “first time” he has “properly” taken a break from acting.
He explained: “By the end of ‘Fantastic Beasts’ I was zonked. And Hannah was pregnant. So I’ve taken time off. Iris arrived and it’s been so lovely. It’s the first time I’ve taken time off properly.”
However, Redmayne has revealed he isn’t coping well with sleep deprivation and is constantly worrying about his daughter.
He explained: “We’re still at the stage of getting through the night, trying to keep our child alive. I don’t think I’ve got past the sleep deprivation yet to get to a point of having a more philosophical take! We’re just scrabbling through in the most wonderful way.”

Danniella Westbrook tried to kill herself

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Danniella Westbrook tried to kill herself in the summer.
The 43-year-old actress, who famously lost her septum in 2000 due her excessive use of cocaine, sunk into deep depression earlier this year after she developed septicaemia – blood poisoning caused by bacteria or their toxins – in the roof of her mouth and, things got so bad after she split with her toy boy boyfriend George Arnold in August, that she tried to overdose on tablets.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Tuesday (15.11.16), she said: “I was so depressed and George just got up one morning and he was gone. But he had his reasons and I wasn’t very easy to live with because I was so depressed at the time because of the way I looked, I couldn’t earn money and I felt I’d let him and the kids down. He didn’t see it like that … I did relapse because I felt my whole world was over when he just got up and went. It was like he’d never been there. I tried to overdose when George walked out but it turned out he never had a girlfriend before me and it was very difficult.
“When you relapse and you take drugs, you don’t see that [leaving the kids]. All you see is selfishness and a way out.
“So you carry on taking more drugs because you’re so low on such a comedown that you just think you want to kill yourself. I didn’t overdose on cocaine. I was just taking tablets orally.”
After she developed septicaemia, the former ‘EastEnders’ star was forced to have all of her teeth pulled out in order to give her the best chance at survival but, that in turn, plunged her into depression and she’s still undergoing operations now to fix her face.
Danniella explained: “I had all my top teeth out and implants put in. It started to swell and turned into septicaemia. I’ve got a gum graft. I had an operation yesterday; I’m having another one tomorrow. I spent five weeks in the Royal London in the summer. I think the whole lot of it spiralled me into depression.”
The blonde star was devastated because she had hoped her stint in the infamous ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house, in which she made the final, last January would help get her career up and running.
She said: “Coming out of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ should have been my busiest year. I got to the final, the public got behind me. I had the best time. I wish I could go back in there in January.
“I was getting back on my feet, I was busy, people got to know who I was. When I came out of there, this happened and I haven’t been able to work all year, which just spiralled me into depression.”
This isn’t the first time Danniella has relapsed though, as she previously fell back off the wagon in 2014 when life got tough but, despite her recent overdose, she’s determined to start 2017 in a positive way and is keen to focus on her work.
She explained: “I’m looking forward to Christmas. I’m going to have a positive time.”

Samuel L. Jackson has joined the cast of ‘Unicorn Store’

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Samuel L. Jackson has joined the cast of ‘Unicorn Store’. The 67-year-old movie legend is the latest actor who has been confirmed to star in the upcoming comedy, and the ‘Django Unchained’ star is set to star alongside the ‘School of Rock’ principle Joan Cusack and ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ star Bradley Whitford, according to Deadline Online.

The comedy movie, which is based on Samantha Mcintyre’s original screenplay, will follow a woman called Kit (Brie), open her own store after receiving an ominous letter from an unknown sender.

Brie Larson – who worked with Jackson on ‘Kong: Skull Island’ – will reunite with the ‘Coach Carter’ star in the movie as she is set to both act and direct the forthcoming production in what will be the Oscar-winning actress’ full-length feature directing debut.

The creative team also includes Samantha producers David Bernard, Terry Dougas, Ruben Fleischer and executive producer Jean-Luc De Fanti.
Larson is currently working on the film in Los Angeles, California, and it has been reported the film is set for release next year, although a set date has yet to be confirmed. And Jackson and Larson’s ‘Kong: Skull Island’ movie is set to hit the big screens on March 10 2017.

Meanwhile, the ‘Pulp Fiction’ star believes diversity in Hollywood is improving and reflects “real life” issues on screen much better than ever before.
Speaking previously, he said: “I think there are more films and television shows for sure that deal with real life issues. “There are transgender people and gay people all over television, there are specifically more Asian, Hispanic and black people on television – and behind the scenes – creating and doing things. […] A lot more women heroes, a lot more interesting couples on television in terms of mixed race, especially in America – you guys [in Britain] have had that for a very long time.”

Lewis Bloor and Marnie Simpson to move in together?

By

OHMYGOSSIP — Lewis Bloor and Marnie Simpson are moving in together. The couple have only been dating for four months after they struck up a romance in the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house but, despite a few break ups and make ups over the past 20 weeks, they are already thinking about setting up home together in Essex.

Marnie explained: “I want to eventually [buy a house in Essex]. We’re moving in together soon but we are going to rent a place there before buying anything.
“The hope is that we find somewhere in Essex before I leave to film ‘Geordie Shore’, then once I’m back we can move in together.”
Marnie is set to spend the next two weeks in Newcastle shooting the next series of the boozy MTV show and, although the pair trust each other, Lewis has laid down some ground rules ahead of her departure as he doesn’t want her getting into a fight with her on/off ex-boyfriend Aaron Chalmers on camera because it’ll destroy their relationship.

Speaking to OK! magazine, he said: “There are certain things I wouldn’t be happy with her doing, like getting into an argument with Aaron. Marnie doesn’t care about him so nothing he says should wind her up. Marnie can be very flirty when she’s drunk so I hope she won’t be going that now she’s in a relationship.”
However, the 26-year-old beauty should have no trouble keeping her flirtatious antics under control as she’s decided to cut back on her drinking due to a bladder issue.

Marnie – who has been in and out of hospital with excruciating stomach problems recently – explained: “I’m having more tests because the doctor thinks I might have a bladder condition. Drinking too much can make it flare up so I have to be really careful when I’m filming ‘Geordie Shore’.”

Danny Dyer: Benedict Cumberbatch would be ‘useless’ in EastEnders

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Dyer thinks Benedict Cumberbatch would be “useless” in ‘EastEnders’. The long-running soap’s former executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins was desperate to get the ‘Sherlock’ star drinking in the fictional Queen Victoria pub for a few episodes before he left his position earlier this year, but the 39-year-old actor – who plays the boozer’s landlord Mick Carter in the show – thinks casting Benedict would have been a recipe for disaster because it would have exposed his lack of talent.

Speaking to the Radio Times magazine, he said: “Doing soap is the hardest discipline there is. I’d love to see a snotty-nosed actor who says, ‘I’m too good for this,’ come in and be exposed. He would be useless. Could he do a cockney accent? Of course he couldn’t. But then I can’t do what Benedict Cumberbatch does.
“We all do what we can do, whether you’re Idris Elba, whether you’re me. No one else can do what Damian Lewis does, which is why he’s got a career. And no one can do Danny Dyer like I can do Danny Dyer.”

However, this isn’t the first time the handsome soap star has taken aim at the 40-year-old actor – who also has a budding film career – as he previously said he’d get “bullied” by the rest of the cast if he started throwing his weight about in the Queen Victoria.

He said: “If he walked into a pub he’d get annihilated by geezers. He’d be bullied.”

Although he doesn’t think Benedict could join ‘EastEnders’, Danny is convinced he would have no trouble taking his lead position in the detective drama ‘Sherlock’.

He said at the time: “I think that I could play Sherlock, though, if I did it my way. Benedict’s brilliant and the lines roll off his tongue, but that role is about being highly intelligent rather than posh. I think I could do Doctor Who (Peter Capaldi) as well.”
