OHMYGOSSIP — Pete Wicks’ ex-girlfriend wants to join ‘The Only Way is Essex’.
The heavily-inked hunk has desperately been trying to persuade Megan McKenna to take him back after he was caught sending sexy messaged to his former lover Jacqui Ryland, but it seems his challenge is about to get a lot harder as the brunette model is keen to have it out with the turbulent couple on camera for the ITVBe show.
Speaking to OK! Online, Jacqui said: “If Megan wanted to meet I would do that, but I think she’s blocked me on Twitter. I can understand – she was upset and angry, and a lot of that was aimed at me. I would go on the show – I don’t think they’ll let me on, but they should be thanking me right now- I’ve changed the whole story line – it’s much more dramatic! I watched it last night, and it’s all pretty much about them [Pete and Megan]. What was the storyline going to be if it wasn’t them?”
And, although Megan is refusing to give Pete the time of day at the moment, Jacqui is convinced the former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star will take him back before long.
She explained: “She’s going to take him back. I’ve been in that situation before – when you love somebody it’s so hard to cut ties with them, so you tell yourself you’ll make it work and he’ll treat you differently but to be honest, I don’t think you can teach an old dog new tricks. I don’t think you can change him.”
Pete has been crying his eyes out since Megan called time on their seven-month relationship but Jacqui thinks it’s all a stunt because he’s been painted in a bad light.
She said: “I think a lot of it is crocodile tears – publicly this doesn’t make him look very good, and he’s obviously getting a lot of stick at the moment.
“I could be wrong – he could have grown up, and realised what he’s lost. I don’t know what she’s like, but she is a beautiful girl.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ed Balls has shared a passionate kiss with Craig Revel Horwood.
The former Shadow Chancellor – who has been married to his wife Yvette Cooper since 1998 – has revealed he accidentally locked lips with the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge at the Teach First Awards earlier this month and wouldn’t mind doing it again at some point because he found the whole experience rather “good”.
Speaking on BBC Radio 1’s ‘Breakfast Show’ on Friday (21.10.16), he explained during a game of snog, marry and avoid: “I would definitely snog Craig [Revel Horwood], because I have before and it was good. We were actually at a Teach First Awards and he kissed me. I’m not sure how it happened.”
The former MP went on to state he’d happily marry head judge Len Goodman – who is leaving the panel after the current series – because he’s so “wise” and would avoid extravagant Italian dancer Bruno Toniolo, although he doesn’t think he’d get very far.
He concluded: “Obviously I’d marry Len because he’s such a solid dependable wise guy. I could go off clubbing with Daisy Lowe and come back in the morning and Len would be still asleep and say, ‘Have you made the tea?’ and then he wouldn’t even know you’d been out. But I can’t avoid Bruno! Even if you tried, he’d still be there.”
Ed has thrown himself into training since he joined the ballroom and latin show at the beginning of September but, although he’s managed to strike up a friendship with his fellow contestants, he has admitted he doesn’t get invited out after the shows.
He explained: “The difference is that the contestants my age then go home and go to bed, and the young celebrities go down to Camden or Central London and I think go through to the morning. Really sadly, they’ve not invited me. I don’t know what it is. I mean, there’s like this awkward moment about midnight and people sort of slip out and I sort of stand there and nobody really says goodbye because they all want to leave without people noticing. It’s really tragic.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Karen Clifton found Will Young’s departure from ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ “unexpected.”
The 37-year-old singer devastated the nation two weeks ago when he announced he had quit the ballroom and latin show due to “personal reasons” but, despite rumours claiming animosity between him and his partner were to blame for his shock exit, the brunette beauty has admitted she had no idea the pop star was planning to bow out.
Speaking to the Daily Express newspaper, she said: “I’ve spoken to him a couple of times and we text. He’s doing well. It’s unexpected and it’s sad but it’s just the way it is.”
And, although he only managed to survive the glitz and glamour of the live shows for two weeks, Karen – whose husband is Kevin Clifton – thinks they could have gone far.
She explained: “We had the best time, I love him to pieces and we had three amazing weeks on ‘Strictly…’ that I’m going to remember always. He was a hard worker, he always came in and gave 150 per cent. I couldn’t ask for a better student.”
Her time on the show this year may have reached the end but the 34-year-old star is determined to keep her spirits up by taking part in the spin-off ‘It Takes Two’.
She said: “I’m going to be on ‘It Takes Two’ and possibly ‘Children in Need’. My husband Kevin and I have a tour coming up in 2017 and I’m staying in shape as much as I possibly can. I’m just staying positive.”
Will has remained tight lipped on his reason for leaving the show, but his decision came a few days after he locked horns with head judge Len Goodman over his Bollywood inspired Salsa routine during a live show earlier this month.
The 72-year-old dancer thought the energetic display lacked the traditional dance moves of a Salsa, to which Will argued his routine contained all 24 counts needed.
However, Len had the last word as he told the ‘Leave Right Now’ hitmaker to “show up, keep up, and shut up.”
Will has previously opened up about his “horrendous” battle with depression, for which he spent time in rehab.

OHMYGOSSIP — Fay Ripley thought it was a “practical joke” when she was asked to rejoin the cast of ‘Cold Feet’ for a the new revived series earlier this year.
The 50-year-old actress – who shot to fame as Jenny Gifford in the popular British comedy – thought someone was winding her up when talk of another installment began floating around a few months ago following the show’s 13-year hiatus.
Speaking on Saturday night’s (22.10.16) episode of ITV’s ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’, she said: “I just thought it was a practical joke to be honest.”
John Thompson – who plays Pete Gifford – said there had been plans to revive the show for many years and when it finally came to it, he was reluctant to believe it.
He said: “It was rumoured for years but there were so many false alarms when it came around this time I went, ‘Yeah whatever, I don’t believe it.’
“Then we saw something tangible and we saw their was an actual script for episode one of this season.”
And lead star James Nesbitt, 51, says he was nervous to reprise his much-loved alter-ego Adam Williams for the new series because he didn’t want to let loyal fans down, but was reassured as soon as he saw the script.
He explained: “I think there was certainly trepidation. It’s only a TV show at the end of the day but we were very aware when we were doing it that it meant something to people and that those characters, people could relate to… So to bring that back and the notion of maybe not only letting our characters down but also letting the audience that had grown with those characters was a worry … but you know once we saw the script… certainly when we read it and we got back together… very quickly I think we felt that we had been away for only a couple of months. It felt really great so I think as a result of that we were then quite protective of it and fearful but also hopeful.”
‘The hit show made a triumphant return to screens in September and, following its success, ITV have decided to bring it back next year for another installment.
‘Cold Feet’ first hit television screens in 1997 and came to an end in 2003.

OHMYGOSSIP — Danny Baker has signed up to ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’.
The 59-year-old comedian has reportedly been offered an eye-watering six-figure sum to take part in the forthcoming series of the creepy-crawly show as bosses believe he’ll draw viewers in with his hilarious remarks and light-hearted jibes in camp.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, a source said: “Danny has become this year’s highest-paid celebrity in the jungle so far with a six-figure sum. He’s a real broadcasting legend, so show bosses were desperate to sign him.
“Danny doesn’t need the cash, but producers made him an offer he just couldn’t refuse. He’s a real curveball name, and they’re the sort ITV want.
“Danny is absolutely buzzing to be heading into ‘I’m A Celeb…’ He’s always been a fan of the show and can’t wait to be thrust back into the public eye again having stepped out of the spotlight for some time to battle the disease. He’s a big personality and bosses think he’s going to bring a lot of banter and laughter into the camp.”
The broadcasting legend’s signing comes just days after he announced he was free from cancer following a six-year battle with the disease in his mouth and throat.
He said: “Six years ago I was diagnosed with no doubt, big time, proper full on cancer. Of the head & neck! But I’m all clear now. It’s beatable. #NHS (sic)”
Details on the forthcoming series, which is filmed in Australia, are being kept under wraps for the time being but Danny isn’t the only name being thrown around at the moment as Carol Vorderman is expected to take part in the tough reality show later this year as bosses hope she’ll draw in male viewers with her “sex appeal”.
As well as Carol, other names in the frame for this year’s show include former footballer Robbie Savage, actress Helen Lederer and model Lisa Snowdon.
‘Red Dwarf’ actor Craig Charles is also rumoured to be returning to the programme.
He previously spent four days in the jungle two years ago but his stint was cut short after his brother Dean tragically died from a heart attack.
And the former ‘Coronation Street’ star may not be the only previous contestant to make a return to the outback as Spencer Matthews is also in the rumoured line up.
The ‘Made in Chelsea’ hunk joined the show last year but was forced to leave just a few days into his stint after producers found out he was taking steroids.

OHMYGOSSIP — The plane carrying the ‘Made in Chelsea’ crew to Costa Rica has crashed into the Pacific Ocean.
Two senior producers and two technical directors had to be rescued by the local coastguard and rushed to the nearby hospital after the small jet transporting them to the Central American country ahead of the show’s one-off special plummeted into the water just off the Puntarenas earlier this week.
A spokesperson for NBC Universal International Studios, which owns ‘Made in Chelsea’s production company, said: “Four of our Production Team on Made in Chelsea, produced by Monkey Kingdom, were involved in a plane crash earlier today in a resort in Costa Rica.
‘We can confirm that all four people and the pilot are safe and unhurt. No cast were on board.”
It’s not known why the plane nose-dived into the sea but it’s believed the pilot lost control when he hit a patch of bad weather while pulling in to the busy capital on Thursday (20.10.16).
The rest of the crew and some of the cast were also en route to the filming location on a separate plane but have now been flown back to the UK after bosses’ decision to suspend the special.
The spokesperson explained to the MailOnline: “We are grateful to the emergency services in Costa Rica for their assistance in this serious incident. We have taken immediate steps to ensure those involved have every support locally and our priority is to return all cast and crew home.
“We ask that the privacy of everyone involved in ‘Made in Chelsea’, both on and off screen, is respected over the coming days.”
It is currently unknown if filming for the Costa Rica special will be rescheduled or cancelled.

OHMYGOSSIP — Chloe Goodman almost died after doctors dismissed her inflamed appendix as “period pain.”
The ‘Ex on the Beach’ star was recently rushed to hospital in an ambulance after she collapsed from extreme stomach cramps but little did she know that her life was in critical danger as her appendix and a cyst were just hours away from bursting and leaking poison into her body.
Speaking to The Sun Online, she said: “I woke up on Saturday morning feeling fine but within half an hour I was screaming in pain. I’m usually a really healthy girl, I’m never ill or in hospital and the last thing I was thinking was calling the ambulance, but the pain was excruciating and I was vomiting, so I phoned my mum crying my eyes out.
“While on the phone to her I passed out and she immediately called an ambulance. The next thing I knew the paramedics were in my bedroom and then putting me in the ambulance. They gave 8mg of morphine and the maximum they can give someone is 10mg, and it was the only thing that could stop me passing out. By the time I got to A&E the pain was still so bad I wanted to die. The doctors were 100 percent certain that my appendix was about to burst and that I needed to go to theatre because it was life threatening.
“At the time it didn’t register that I might die, I had gone from being fine to in so much pain, that I just didn’t care about anything other than getting it out. I was so desperate, I didn’t care what I looked like or that the surgery was botched, I just needed this pain to stop.”
However, when the 23-year-old reality TV star was wheeled down to the surgical ward, she was subjected to 36 hours of medical blunders, wrong information and misdiagnosis.
She explained: “I went to surgical assessment and they told me they weren’t going to do the operation as they thought it might have been some ruptured cysts on my ovaries.
“I was arguing with them as I knew it wasn’t my womb or ovaries, but they said they wouldn’t take my word and were just going to do an ultrasound in the morning. I knew if my appendix burst I was f***ed and all they were doing was pilling me up to my eyeballs, so I felt out of it.
“I had the ultrasound and was told it was fluid and a ruptured cyst, but I know my own body and I knew they were wrong. I was already upset that they were telling me it was to with my ovaries when I knew they were wrong and it was something life threatening.
“But then a different consultant came into my room and told me, ‘I’ve seen a lot of appendicitis, this isn’t it, you’ve got period pain.’ She treated me like she thought I was just some silly little 23-year-old girl and she was happy just to send me home.”
However, Chloe and her family demanded to see a senior surgeon and he agreed that there was something a lot more sinister causing her excruciating pain and decided to operate.
She said: “They didn’t know what they were going to find, but agreed to do keyhole surgery.
“When I woke up they told me that not only was my appendix was just two hours away from bursting, which would have been deadly and poisoned my organs, but I had a cyst on it double the size that was also about to rupture. The surgeons admitted they were shocked it hadn’t all burst already. I had internal bleeding in my pelvis as well, which I think must have been the fluid they thought they had seen in the ultrasound.”
But the brunette star’s traumatic ordeal didn’t end there as she was still pumped with contradicting information when she came round and feared she couldn’t have children.
She told the publication: “The next morning they tried to tell me they had removed cysts from my ovaries, which was heartbreaking and scary as I was worried I couldn’t have kids. I forced them to reread the notes and they admitted they were wrong and it was just my appendix.
“If I wasn’t a strong person and my family weren’t persistent and refused to let them have the bed, they would have sent me home and would have died from my appendix bursting.”
Chloe has now been discharged from hospital and is recuperating at home but she has admitted her medical emergency has changed her outlook on life.
She said: “I went to sleep on Friday night as happy as Larry in my world and woke up in an ambulance. I will forever be grateful for my mum calling them ambulance as I would have been lying there alone if she hadn’t. If it wasn’t for my mum then I definitely wouldn’t be… where I am today. We caught it just in time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Will.i.am believes winning a talent show is “pointless”.
The former Black Eyed Peas band member, who is set to return to ‘The Voice UK’ when it switches over to ITV for the next series after judging on every series since the shows debut in 2012, has admitted the new judge, Jennifer Hudson, “debunks” the “whole idea” only the shows champions go on to be a huge success.
Speaking to the Radio Times Online about the ‘Spotlight’ hitmaker – who came seventh on ‘American Idol’ in 2004 – and the myth around only winners of musical competitions are successful, he said: “She has this nugget of perspective that kind of debunks the whole premise of the show – of winning. The whole idea of Jennifer Hudson makes the record deal [prize] and winning pointless.
“Here’s a person who came seventh and has an awesome career. She’s done movies, she’s won Grammies, she’s won Emmys, she won BAFTAs – she’s won a whole bunch of awards and sold a whole bunch of records and sold out a lot of fr**king seats in arenas.”
Meanwhile, Emma Willis – who will front the show alone – has revealed the programme is set to get a new brutal twist, which will force the judges to dish out gut-wrenching critical feedback during the red-chair blind auditions, whilst members on the panel who don’t put themselves forward as a mentor are banned from swinging round to see the contestants.
Speaking previously, the brunette beauty said: “If you don’t push your button for a contestant, you don’t get to see them. So only the people who press the button get to see who it is, so if no one turns, no one sees who sung.”
However, the 40-year-old presenter thinks the change will be “good” for the show as it’ll force the judges – Will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones, Jennifer and fellow newcomer Gavin Rossdale – to be less apologetic towards the contestants and a lot more critical.
She explained: “I think it is good … When they see someone who hasn’t turned, it’s very apologetic. But if they haven’t seen that person and don’t have to interact directly, it’s a bit more ‘that was a little bit off key’.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Richard Wilson has been spotted for the first time since his heart attack in August.
The 80-year-old actor – who played the iconic Victor Meldrew from 1990 until 2000 in the popular series ‘One Foot In The Grave’ – seems to have recovered from his ordeal after he was seen walking through his local streets with the aid of a walking stick, just two months after he suffered a cardiac arrest, according to The Sun newspaper.
The heart attack left Richard in hospital after he fell over and sustained a serious head injury, but his agent, John Grant, said at the time he was in a stable condition and was being cared for in hospital.
The injury led him to cancel a 12-night run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where he was supposed to be reprising his famous comedy role.
A source at the time said: “It’s very worrying for his friends and family. Richard is a true professional. He’d never have cancelled the show unless he had no other choice.”
Meanwhile a source for the theatre he was due to perform at said the decision to cancel “hasn’t been taken lightly”.
They said: “Richard hates letting people down. He’d been looking forward to this for months, putting in hours of work learning his lines. This decision certainly hasn’t been taken lightly.”
Meanwhile, Richard previously branded his character – and his catchphrase “I don’t believe it!” – as “boring” when the novelty wore off, but said he understands the appeal for fans.
He said: “I suppose the novelty of ‘I don’t believe it!’ was rather amusing at first. And then it became rather boring.
“And then I just thought to myself, ‘Well, you’re never going to escape this, so you might as well accept it.’
“Victor did change my life. If I am walking down the street now and someone shouts it at me I just raise a hand and wave and walk on.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gavin Rossdale has gatecrashed his daughter Daisy Lowe’s rehearsals for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ “a few times” now.
The Bush frontman – who has moved back to the UK to fulfill his gig as a mentor on ‘The Voice’ – couldn’t resist popping into the brunette beauty’s dance training sessions ahead of the live shows to see how she and her partner Aljaž Skorjanec are getting on.
Speaking to the RadioTimes.com, he said: “She’s amazing! I wouldn’t want to go up against them. I’ve seen them dance at rehearsals a few times and seen all the videos.”
However, despite starting off at the top end of the leaderboard, the 27-year-old model – whose mother is Pearl Lowe – has been sliding down the rankings in recent weeks as Ore Oduba and Danny Mac have taken the top spot with their near-perfect scores.
She said recently: “This is the most nerve-racking thing I have ever done. I’m a big bag of nerves – and a very clumsy one at that.”
Daisy hasn’t had the easiest time on the show so far as she was left devastated last month when her beloved grandfather Eddie Davis, 82, died from a heart attack on the first day of the show’s rehearsal.
She explained: “It was all quite sudden. I was talking to him the day before. He was so excited about me doing the show.
“I’m wearing his watch, his shirt and his necklace. I’m going to be dancing for him. I’d quite like to dance to some of his favourite songs, too.
“I’m just trying to be with my family whenever I have time off.”
