OHMYGOSSIP — Peter Capaldi isn’t leaving ‘Doctor Who’ – just yet.
The 58-year-old actor – who has played the Time Lord since 2013 – was rumoured to be turning his back on the sci-fi series after it was announced Steven Moffat was handing over the production reins to Chris Chibnall, but the writer is adamant his departure won’t automatically result in a regeneration next year.
Speaking to IGN Entertainment, he said: “Me leaving has got no impact on the regeneration. There’s no reason that should be the case. There’s no need for those two things be in sync.”
However, Moffat can understand why people assume Chibnall will pull in a new actor to play the time-travelling scientist because David Tennant, who portrayed the lead for five years, left when Russell T Davies quit as show runner in 2010.
He explained: “I suppose it happened the last time and that’s why people are thinking that way, but if you look back at the history of the show, producers and Doctors… they leave at different times. It’s terrifying [doing a regeneration]. You’re essentially recasting the lead in a television show. We have a magic reason why it works but it is terrifyingly hard, and people talk about it like, ‘Oh, you’ve just got to find a new Doctor’. ”
Meanwhile, Moffat has been the executive producer on the show for the past six years and also wrote six episodes of the revived series in 2005 as well as penned the parody ‘The Curse of Fatal Death’ in 1999.
But, despite how much he’s been involved in the success of the show, he has no plans to make a “grand goodbye” during his series finale early next year.
He said: “I don’t have any interest in making some sort of grand goodbye. As I keep pointing out, the vast majority of our huge audience don’t know I exist so if I wave from the balcony they will just stare at me blankly.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Paddy McGuinness has been banned from his marital bed.
The ‘Take Me Out’ host has been sent to the spare room by his wife Christine, whom he married in 2011, so she can nurture their four-week-old daughter Felicity during the night.
Speaking to Nick Grimshaw on his BBC Radio 1 ‘Breakfast Show’ on Thursday (13.10.16), he said: “Felicity is only a month old. She usually wakes up for her bottle in the night although I’m not in the marital bed at the moment. I’ve been cast out into the spare room. Luckily, Christine is amazing with the kid.”
In spite of being banished to the spare bedroom, the TV presenter admitted he’s still struggling with sleep deprivation following the latest addition to his family.
He explained: “I spent my first night back in the marital bed last night and everything is great. Anyone who listens to the show who has children knows that having kids is probably 80 per cent really stressful hard work and 20 per cent fantastic. But the 20 per cent is so fantastic it kind of outweighs the 80 per cent.”
The 43-year- old hunk also revealed his wife – with whom he also has three-year-old twins Penelope and Leo – is already desperate for another baby.
But not only does Paddy have his hands tied up with his family, he’s also trying to juggle his television career and recently filmed his new show ‘Stars in their Cars’ for the Travel Channel.
He said: “Basically I meet up with celebrity and well get three cars from different parts of their life. So we find the car where we can, then we kind of unveil it, we don’t tell them which car because it’s a surprise. Then we get in, it’s just me and them and a few cameras and then of we go driving where they grew up and they’ll tell us stories of what they got up to in the car. It’s just like story of their life through the car.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The Royal family are “huge” fans of ‘Victoria’.
Show writer Daisy Goodwin heard on the grapevine that the British monarchy were glued to the TV and loved watching the hit period drama about their ancestor on Sunday nights.
She revealed: “I know someone who is a very old friend of the Queen’s and I was told that the royal family is enjoying it hugely. Whether that means the Queen is enjoying it, I don’t know.
“But I know that other people in her circles are enjoying it.”
Fans of ‘Victoria’ were devastated when the first series came to an end on Sunday (09.10.16) when “sexy” couple Queen Victoria and Prince Albert – played by Jenna Coleman and Prince Albert – welcomed their first child into the world.
A second series has been commissioned but the British monarchy, along with fans of the show, will have to wait a year before it airs and though it was hoped a Christmas special would come at the end of 2016, Daisy revealed ITV bosses turned down her pitch, something which she thinks they now regret.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: “They went ‘Umm…’ I bet they are wishing they had one now.”
Meanwhile, Jenna revealed she was reluctant to play Queen Victoria at first but when she researched the monarch she realised it was “impossible” to turn the offer down.
She said: “I think when taking on something so iconic, and someone who really existed, I think there’s also going to be concern that you can do it to the best of your ability.
“Ultimately, the more I read, the more it unfolded in front of me and it was impossible to turn down.
“I think I would crazy if I do. It’s a gift. It’s an absolute gift to be able to explore and try and bring this to life.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Samantha Faiers is releasing a baby book.
The ‘Sam Faiers: Mummy Diaries’ star has thrown herself headfirst into motherhood since she gave birth to her son Paul nine months ago and she is now determined to pour all she’s learnt – from tips and tricks to exercise and quick recipes – into a one space so she can help other busy mothers on the go.
She said: “When you are pregnant, people always tell you their stories, good and bad, and this is mine. It isn’t telling you what to do or how to do it, just what worked for me and how I have dealt with the rollercoaster of the first year. It has been the best year of my life and I am excited to be working to bring it life in a book that I hope will entertain as well as giving sound advice.”
‘My Baby & Me’ will document the highs and lows of motherhood and hopefully ease the anxieties of new mums.
It will also offer advice on breastfeeding, meal plans and how to lose baby weight without spending hours in the gym.
The 25-year-old beauty has also been sharing her first year as a first-time mother on her new series following the success of her one-off episode ‘Sam Faiers: Baby Diaries’ earlier this year.
And, although it only hit television screens on Wednesday (12.10.16), Samantha is hoping fans want to see more of her life and encourage producers to commission another series.
When asked if she plans to continue creating series until Paul – who she has with her partner Paul Knightley – is a teenager, she said: “Hopefully. One series at a time but I think so.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lucy Watson will “definitely” go back to TV.
The 25-year-old reality TV star recently turned her back on ‘Made in Chelsea’ – the show that made her famous four years ago – in order to explore other ventures but she’s adamant her break from the small screen is only temporary for now.
Speaking in a Q&A video on her YouTube channel, she said: “I hope that I will get back into TV. I’m having a break for now because I’ve been doing it solidly for four years but it is my passion and I would like to get into documentaries. Who knows? But it’s definitely something I’ll go back to.”
However, the brunette beauty – who follows a vegan diet – is using her time away from television to help animal charities.
She explained: “I have loads of plans, I’m going to be doing a lot more charity work with animal charities and raising awareness. I’m also working towards a few other business ideas, which I can’t disclose right now but you’ll be finding out by the end of this year. I’ve been working really hard on them for a long time. I’m basically really busy. I have a lot going on to do with animal related stuff and trying to prevent animal cruelty. I’m just doing stuff I really care about.”
Despite her determination to return to TV in the near future, Lucy has no plans to go back to ‘Made in Chelsea’.
A spokesperson for her said recently: “After four amazing years on ‘Made in Chelsea’, Lucy feels that now is the right time to explore some other exciting opportunities and projects that she is passionate about. Being part of such a successful show has been an incredible experience for her, and she wishes everyone involved all the very best for the future.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Eamonn Holmes was cut off as he said his final farewell to viewers on Sky News’ ‘Sunrise’ on Thursday (13.10.16).
The 56-year-old presenter has spent the past 11 years fronting the early morning breakfast programme but he unfortunately didn’t get to say his last goodbye as the credits cut in just seconds after a montage of the highlights from his time on the show finished.
However, earlier on in the show, Eamonn did manage to say a few words about the past decade on screen and give some gentle encouragement to his successor Sarah-Jane Mee and her new co-host Jonathan Samuels.
He said: “It has been 11 years thank you very much for putting up with me for all that time.
“In that 11 years I’ve had to report on some awful news but I’ve also had to report on some really fantastic news some really uplifting news and we should have more of that.
“But the main thing is it’s not important who presents the news, the news is the important thing, keep on watching it, keep on doing it, ‘Sunrise’ and the news continues after the break in the morning.”
His colleagues Nazaneen Ghaffar, Isabel Webster and Jacquie Beltrao ran in to hug him as the video played in the background and the broadcast, which runs from 6am until 10am, ended.
Eamonn announced he was leaving ‘Sunrise’ last month in order to focus on other projects and pursue some of his other “dreams.”
He said at the time: “Anchoring my own breakfast show for 11 years has been for me the stuff of boyhood dreams. It was the job I hoped to do as a young Belfast lad – and because of Sky News I got there! Forty five years plus on I have other dreams, and to achieve them I realise that unfortunately I need to step away from the daily studio commitment for a while. There is an addiction to a live breaking news studio environment. However, after more than 3,000 hours of programming it is a habit I have to suppress.”
A few weeks later, it was revealed Sarah would be taking over the reins from Eamonn and she admitted she felt “honoured and privileged” to be following in his footsteps.
The blonde beauty started her career as a runner for Sky Sports before she was nabbed by ITV and sent to the Midlands to present sport and co-host the breakfast show on Heart FM.
She then returned to Sky in 2008 and has since presented shows such as ‘Saturday Night Football’ and ‘Cricket AM’.
She’s also responsible for breaking some of the world’s biggest news such as the death of Margaret Thatcher in 2013 and the Brussels terrorist attack earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Eamonn will still present ‘This Morning’ on Fridays and over the summer with his wife Ruth Langsford, as well as host his comedy panel game show ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’.
But he’d also like to turn his attention to documentaries, which he’s been forced to stall for many years due to his schedule.

OHMYGOSSIP — Anastacia thought she may need another operation after she ripped her muscle during rehearsals of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 48-year-old singer – who has survived breast cancer twice – was worried she’d need to go back under the knife after she injured the muscle buried under the scar tissue from her double mastectomy while doing a lift with her partner Brendan Cole.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Thursday (13.10.16), she said: “The injury happened on Wednesday during an amazing, fabulous rehearsal that Brendan and I thought that we were in the Olympics. We were really having a great time. He was throwing me all over … He actually went to lift me under my arms and with my surgery that I had for the mastectomy, not only are your pecs here but my lat is also here so in him lifting me, it ripped my muscle and in my ripping my muscle, my muscles are surrounded by a bunch of scar tissue so it hurt.
“If I had ripped my lat it would have been game over and because I didn’t know which one I had ripped, there was a lot of anxiety about whether I’d need to go through another surgery. I’ve already gone through nine to actually be here and look female. So there were a mixed bag of emotions.”
And, although the ‘Left Outside Alone’ hitmaker was banned from taking part in the dance off against Melvin Odoom – who ultimately left – in week one, she’s adamant she doesn’t want the judges to be more lenient on her and her routines.
She explained: “The next dance, they’re making this arm be more of the Rumba and this arm is doing side stuff.
“They [the judges] do understand that I may not be able to do a lot of lifts but lifts aren’t mandatory in any dance. They’re allowed in three of the dances in the show. In order to stay, I want to feel like I can compete on a level that everyone else is.”
Anastacia – who was first diagnosed with cancer in 2006 before it returned in 2013 and she had a double mastectomy later that year to remove her breasts – is donating her ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ appearance fee to Cancer Research UK.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ricky Norwood has hinted he may return to ‘EastEnders’.
The 27-year-old actor’s alter ego Arthur ‘Fat Boy’ Chubb was presumably killed off at Christmas last year after his body was supposedly found in a boot of a car, which was later crushed at a scrap yard, but he has teased he may not be gone forever.
He said: “I don’t know, to my knowledge, I got told that he died in the boot. I wasn’t physically in the boot. I didn’t ever shoot any scenes in the boot, it was all the stunt team. I mean there’s always a possibility. The fans tell me that there’s a possibility.
“Do you know how many plot twists there’ve been in nearly every storyline that has happened since I have left that people are like, ‘Yes, you’re coming back!’?”
And, although he’s yet to hear from producers, Ricky is adamant he’d return to the soap in a heartbeat if he was asked.
He explained to The Express Online: “I haven’t had any phone calls. I haven’t had a meeting … I’m never ever going to deny a phone call. I’ve got love, so much love for ‘EastEnders’, the production team, all the cast. We did some great work while I was there and they’re doing some great work now.”
Characters returning from the ‘dead’ is nothing new in ‘EastEnders’ as bosses recently brought back Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) permanently after it was initially thought she was tragically killed off in a brutal road accident in 2006.
They also brought back the loveable Pat Butcher (Pam St. Clement) as a ghost earlier this year when Peggy Mitchell (Dame Barbara Windsor) died from breast cancer.

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell would bring back ‘Food Glorious Food’ “in a heartbeat”.
The 56-year-old star has been inspired by the “miracle” success of ‘The X Factor’ to revive the panned cooking show he created in 2013 that featured host Carol Vorderman searching across the country for the best home cooked meal.
Asked would he bring back the series – which he hoped would rival the BBC’s ‘Great British Bake Off’ but was axed after just one season – he said: “I would, in a heartbeat. It’s so quirky. Trying to re-create that would be hard but I wouldn’t have thought when I started ‘X Factor’ we’d still be here. It’s a miracle.”
Juggling his numerous business ventures shouldn’t be too much of a challenge for Simon in the future as he’s revealed he’s already training up his two-year-old son Eric to take over part of his empire.
Speaking about showing the little boy the ropes at his record label Syco, he said previously: “He’s doing amazing! He’s like two and a half years old. He loves music, loves dancing. He’s going to follow me into what I do. I know that.
“I’m training him up now. He’s going to work for my record label.”
And the ‘America’s Got Talent’ judge admitted Eric has already become a “good critic” and has been watching numerous auditions to get him into practice for his future career.
Simon added: “He’s brilliant, he comes down to the auditions and really enjoys the acts. He’s very good to watch, funnily enough, because I can see when he’s bored and when he’s up dancing. He’s a good critic already. He’s unpaid, but he’s helping me!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rylan Clark-Neal wants to have children.
The ‘Xtra Factor’ host is desperate to start a family with his husband Dan Neal but has admitted there are a few things he wants to achieve personally before he’s ready to have a baby.
He explained to Yahoo Celeb UK: “Kids are on the agenda.They have always been on mine and I know that Dan would like to as well, I just have to get a few things out of the way, selfishly, first. We’d love to have children.”
However, the 27-year-old presenter is already a father figure to Dan’s teenage son Cameron and, although he was initially worried about forcing his way into his life, he doesn’t mind getting stuck in when it comes to telling him off.
He explained: “It was quite scary but the thing with me and Cameron is that there’s 10 years between me and Dan and then 10 years between me and Cameron. So I’m the man in the middle and when he tries to get away with something with Dan, I’m like: ‘Oi, listen you little pr**k, I was doing that two years ago so don’t try and pull the wool over my eyes!”
Rylan – who shot to fame on ‘The X Factor’ in 2012 – has managed to carve out a name for himself on television but Cameron doesn’t mind that his family are in the limelight.
When asked if Cameron liked the glitz and glamour of Rylan’s showbiz life, he said: “He doesn’t give a s***. He is the most laid-back, couldn’t-give-a-f*** kid. He’s not phased by any of it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — TV channel Alibi is launching the first interactive Murder Mystery Escape Room.
The event – which will be streamed live on Facebook – will use a mounted camera to follow a security guard who is just on a usual night shift at an art gallery when he comes across a dead body.
He has only 30 minutes to work out what happened to the deceased or he will be arrested for the murder. Fans are encouraged to discuss and debate what is the best move to make next in order to help the guard get out in time.
Actress Emilia Fox, famed for her role in crime drama ‘Silent Witness’, said: “I obviously love the crime genre so am delighted to be involved in such an innovative Murder Mystery concept.
“It’s great that so many people will be involved at once, I’m definitely an arm chair detective so will be playing along on the night and tuning in to Crossing Lines afterwards!”
Whilst Adrian Wills, General Manager for Alibi at UKTV, added: “Framed is a brand new way for Alibi fans to enjoy crime drama. We love to reward our viewers with more of what they love and engage them in more ways. Alibi fans will love the chance to put their own skills of deduction to the test just like their favourite TV detectives.”
The interactive escape room is being launched alongside the new season of ‘Crossing Lines’.
David Varela, writer of Framed, said: “Escape room experiences are usually designed for small groups, so creating a story on this scale meant taking the game to another level – and that gives us a whole new range of options to play around with.
“Allowing thousands of people to take part at once should produce some really exciting results, and we’re looking forward to some heated arguments about the different choices our character can make! And as a world first, we’re hoping this show will spark even more innovation in the medium of live streaming.”
Framed takes place Thursday 13 October at 8pm on facebook.com/alibichannel, with the new series of ‘Crossing Lines’ airing at 9pm on Alibi.

OHMYGOSSIP — Coronation Street’s Michael Rodwell will be clobbered over the head with a crowbar this month.
The former convict – portrayed by Les Dennis – will be pushed into an early grave in the next coming weeks when he confronts his rival Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre) about his plan to con his fellow residents out of cash in a mega-money flat scam.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Les was gutted when he found out Michael was being killed off. He took it like a man but obviously had hoped he’d be able to come back.
“Michael is going to confront Pat about the flat scam and get clobbered with a crowbar for his troubles.”
Although Les is devastated he’ll never be able to return, the 63-year-old actor felt he needed to walk away from the soap following two-and-a-half years to explore other projects.
Les’ alter ego is just one out of six characters to leave the show this year as a “huge explosion” will tear through Weatherfield and claim the life of at least one well-loved resident.
A source said: “This is going to be up there with some of the best scenes in ‘Corrie’ history.
“Characters are going to be crawling through flames to escape, and there’s talk of killing at least one character.”
And Kate Oates, the show’s new producer, has also reportedly lined up director Tony Prescott – who has worked on all of Coronation Street’s live episodes – to ensure things go well.
The insider explained: “The plans being put together are huge and Kate bringing in Tony shows that it’s going to be far from a straightforward one. Tony is considered one of the big guns of directing because he’s great with complicated and intense storylines. Kate also loves a big stunt.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Night Manager’ may return for a second series.
The crime drama proved a huge success when it hit screens in February, but bosses are still trying to think of a way to create another six-part installment seeing as the John Le Carré novel of the same name that it was based on doesn’t have a sequel.
Simon Cornwall – the nephew of John – said at a Royal Television Society event: “Of course, the broadcasters would love to do another series [of ‘The Night Manager’].
“There’s no book and there’s never been a Le Carré story that has been extended beyond the confines of the novel.
“It would be interesting to try that. We wouldn’t do something that we didn’t feel had a fighting chance of being even better than the first one. We might not succeed, but I think if you don’t go in with ambition, there’s actually no point in doing it.”
However, although producers are keen to start on a second series, Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie – who play Jonathan Pine and Richard Onslow Roper respectively – may need a little more persuasion to return as they admitted recently that they were “done” with the show because there’s no more content.
Hugh explained: “It’s based on a novel, we’ve got to the end of the novel and John Le Carré has yet to write another novel, so in cold practical terms, no, we’re done.”
