OHMYGOSSIP — Bratavio have been voted off ‘The X Factor’.
The flamboyant duo – Ottavio Columbro and Bradley Hunt – failed to win over the judges in the sing-off against Saara Alto’s “world class” performance.
Only the pair’s own mentor, Louis Walsh, opted to save Bratavio, but giving his verdict he heaped praise on Saara.
He said: “The sing-off, Sara you were incredible, you were world class, it was one of the best sing-offs ever, but because I’m the mentor for the two boys, I have to send Saara home.”
Meanwhile, Nicole Scherzinger praised the duo for their “amazing” performance, but she and Sharon Osbourne felt they had to send them home.
Sharon said: “I love you guys but I’m afraid I’m going to have to send Bratavio home.”
Nicole added: “First of all, I didn’t even know you could sing that good so that was amazing Bratavio, you really sang for your lives up there, I’m really proud of you. Saara, that song is so difficult but you sang our faces off. The act I’m sending home is Bratavio.”
Straight-talking head judge Simon Cowell insisted there wasn’t any difficult choice to be made.
He said: “That was probably the craziest five minutes I’ve ever seen. I’m not even going to pretend here, if this was a horse race it was like a guinea pig versus a race horse, nice try guys, the act I’m sending home – obviously – is Bratavio.”
Speaking after the vote, Bratavio insisted they were “proud” to have come as far as they had.
Ottavio said: “We’re really proud, we’re thankful to everyone the judges, the producers, thank you for giving us this opportunity to follow our dreams.”
The first of the live vote saw a new feature unveiled, with host Dermot O’Leary initially revealing a bottom three which also featured Freddy Parker.
Viewers with the show’s official app were then given a short time to make a ‘lifeline vote’, which saved the hopeful from the sing-off.
It was also revealed on the show that next week’s theme will be Motown.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tameka Empson has been voted off ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The ‘EastEnders’ actress and her professional partner Gorka Marquez found themselves in the bottom two against Laura Whitmore and Giovanni Pernice after failing to impress with their tango on Saturday (08.10.16) night, and following a dance-off, the judges opted to save the former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! NOW’ presenter.
Before saving Laura, Craig admitted it was a “nightmare” having to choose between the couples.
He said: “This is a nightmare, I don’t feel like I’ve been in this position before, I can normally make a clear decision but both couples were extraordinary.”
His sentiments were echoed by his fellow judges, who agreed they were surprised to see both couples in the dance-off.
Bruno Tonioli said: “These girls are fantastic, you both shouldn’t be here. I think out of the two performances the stand-out one was from Laura and Giovanni.”
Len Goodman added: “As my colleagues have said, they both came out and really went for the dance. In my opinion, neither should be in the dance off but it’s the nature of the thing.
“I’ve got to go with the couple I felt did the more polished performance and that was Laura and Giovanni.”
Only Darcey Bussell chose to save Tameka and Gorka.
She said: “I marked them both exactly in the main show and seeing them again tonight they’ve both made an improvement, incredibly difficult to make a choice but for me, because it was a stronger focus and intent performance, I’m going to save Tameka and Gorka.”
The 39-year-old actress was “grateful” for her brief stint on the show, and also paid tribute to her dance partner.
She said: “It has been [brief]. I have enjoyed my time immensely, I really have. It’s lovely to be a part of it, I’m grateful so thank you…
“Gorka is such a lovely person, I think he is a great asset to the show, you have shown me so much passion, patience, motivation and I love you, I think you are fantastic.”
The show also included a performance from Michael Ball and Alfie Boe.

OHMYGOSSIP — Keeley Hawes never watches drama series.
The 40-year-old actress can next be seen in the second season of ‘The Missing’ but she never watched the 2014 run of the show as she prefers relaxing with a documentary as she feels too close to fictional sagas because of her own work.
She said: “I must admit I hadn’t seen [the first series] – watching drama is a busman’s holiday for me.
“You’ve usually already read the script or you know everyone in it.
“I tend to watch more documentaries. But once I was sent the script, it was one of those things that I just couldn’t stop reading, like ‘Line of Duty’. ”
Keeley admitted the heavy subject matter of ‘The Missing’ – in which she and her on-screen husband, who is played by David Morrissey, are reunited with their daughter after 11 years – took its toll, especially after her most recent work in ‘The Durrells’.
She said: “I came in thinking I was going to be like the cheerful Mrs. Durrell off-set.
“You have to be positive when you’re working on something like this, but it’s hard.
“It’s one of those jobs where the scenes are long, relentless and upsetting. We’ve just been filming funerals and cemeteries.”
The ‘Line of Duty’ actress was pleased to reunite with David on the show, after they previously worked together on ‘Our Mutual Friend’ in the late 1990s.
She told Closer magazine: “I’ve loved working with David Morrissey and the actors playing our children.
“David and I worked together on ‘Our Mutual Friend’ – we were both so little then.
“David is hilarious, I don’t think he’s done enough comedy over the years.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gavin Rossdale was offered a role on ‘The Voice UK’ immediately after his interview.
The 50-year-old rocker flew from Los Angeles to London to interview for the job and show bosses had made up their minds to hire him before he got back to LA.
Speaking to the Sunday Times Style magazine, he said: “I was already really panicked and stressed. Then this email came in. I interviewed on Skype, then went to London, and by the time I’d got back I’d got the gig. So quick! I think when they met me, they were expecting me to be tongue-tied and really difficult. But maybe I wasn’t. Maybe I was on a roll.”
Gavin’s daughter Daisy Lowe, 27, is currently competing on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and the pair are equally proud of each other.
He said: “When I told Daisy, she was so excited. I went to her rehearsals. Amazing. She got top scores. Amazing, incredible, I’m so proud of her.”
Gavin also has three sons, Kingston, 10, Zuma, eight, and Apollo, two, with his former wife Gwen Stefani and revealed that he will be flying back to LA weekly while filming ‘The Voice UK’ in London, so that he can see them.
Despite the “heinous” schedule, he said: “They’re the guys — they’re my replacements. The better versions of me. I’m going to try and take all the things I’ve ever done wrong and keep them away from that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Laura Whitmore says speculation about her and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ partner Giovanni Pernice has affected her performance.
The 31-year-old presenter has been paired with the hunky dancer on the reality TV show but Laura was so upset by reports linking her to Giovanni, 26 – who is her close pal Georgia May Foote’s ex-boyfriend – that she hasn’t been able to bond properly with him.
Speaking to You magazine, she said: “I do care what people think about me. My relationship with Giovanni is completely professional. That’s all I ever want it to be. When all this happened he called me and told me not to let any of it get to me, to ignore it and get on with the show. To be honest he’s far too young for me and even though I’m single I’m still going on a couple of dates when I have the time – but not with Giovanni.’
“It has definitely affected my dancing. I’m so self-conscious I haven’t allowed myself to develop a proper partnership with Giovanni.
“He’s aware of it and so am I but I keep holding back. We were the first out on the floor on the first show and I was so nervous I couldn’t feel my legs. But I was fully aware I wasn’t letting myself go because of all the rumours about us.
“The other day we were made [by the BBC producers] to go out and bond. We climbed over the O2 building and then had a drink and it was brilliant fun. I’ve got to ignore all the stories and just be myself with Giovanni, but it hasn’t been easy.”
Laura also admitted that Georgia did unfollow her on Instagram but says it is only because she didn’t want to see pictures of her ex all the time.
She said: “Georgia – who is a good friend of mine – has been lovely but I felt things had been spoilt before I’d even got a chance to start.
“She did [unfollow]. But she’s following me again now. It’s complicated. I understand she doesn’t want to see pictures of her ex. But everything gets blown out of all proportion.”
However, despite the drama Laura is extremely competitive and determined to be a contender for the gillterball trophy.
She said: “I want to do whatever it takes. I got myself fully prepared. I asked everyone for advice. Brendan Cole told me to get every foot lotion and to put on blister cream before the blisters start – so I walked into Boots and bought everything on the shelf.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Josh Brooks’ former girlfriend has reportedly accused him of physically assaulting her.
The 17-year-old Brooks Way singer and his bandmate and twin Kyle were suspended from the first of the ‘X Factor’ live shows on Saturday (08.10.16), as programme bosses began to investigate the sensational claims against him.
Josh has previously denied attacking Amelia Clarke, 18, who he dated for four years, but admitted she was accidentally injured when she tried to stop a fight at a party between him and another male.
The Sun on Sunday reports that Amelia allegedly told a friend: “I was constantly lying about where my bruises had come from. The worst time was last year.
“He came to my house and because my parents had new white carpets fitted I told him not to walk on them.
“He said the way that I spoke to him wasn’t acceptable, knocked me over and kicked me in the face so hard that my nose broke. I heard it click out.”
On Saturday a show spokesperson revealed that Brooks Way would not be performing, explaining: “Due to the serious nature of the information which has come to light concerning one of Brooks Way, the group will not be performing in Saturday night’s show pending further inquiries.”
And during the ‘X Factor’, host Dermot told viewers: “Sadly, due to unforeseen circumstances, Brooks Way will not be performing tonight.”
Speaking last week after a report emerged claiming he had been arrested after a fight broke out at a New Year’s party, Josh said in a statement: “A fight broke out between me and another male at a party.
“Amelia, along with others, tried to break it up and she was accidentally knocked in the process. It was never my intention to hurt her or put her in danger and this situation is way out of my character.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Carr’s ‘Chatty Man’ has been axed.
The Channel 4 chat show host has struggled to compete with BBC rival Graham Norton in the ratings and TV bosses have decided to pull the plug on his programme after 16 seasons.
Alan told the Sun on Sunday: “I just think that the art of the chat show has evolved unless you can get the amazing guests all the time that Norton gets.
“I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think moving it to a Thursday was the best move. It feels like a party show, a Friday show.
“Three guests a week and Channel 4, God love ’em, extended it to 30 episodes – that’s 90 guests who are relevant and people are interested in, up against the amazing Norton and Jonathan Ross.
“I’ve gone as far as I can with ‘Chatty Man’. Won a BAFTA, won two NTAs.”
However, there is good news for the star as he has landed a new show on Channel 4, ‘Alan Carr’s Happy Hour’, which will air at 8pm on Fridays.
The show has a similar concept as ‘Chatty Man’ where he’ll interview celebrities but without the booze, in a pre-watershed slot.
The forthcoming show will also have live music from chart-topping artists and will feature audience participation.
‘Chatty Man’ has always aired on Friday nights but it was moved to Thursdays earlier this year after it lagged behind in the ratings war against his competitors Norton and ITV’s ‘The Jonathan Ross Show’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Aidan Turner was left “hallucinating” when he tried to film a ‘Poldark’ scene in a hurry.
The 33-year-old actor – who portrays Ross Poldark in the period drama – was seen having a bath while his on-screen wife Demelza Polfark (Eleanor Tomlinson) tended to him, but the romantic moment wasn’t as easy to shoot as it seemed.
Aidan recalled: “Oh God, you know what? We had to wrap at 7pm that night and the bath was filled at 6.45pm, so we had 15 minutes to get the scene done.
“The water was so hot. I jumped in and couldn’t breathe. I was hallucinating and going crazy.
“They had to pour loads of cold water in and I just about got through it.”
Despite ‘Poldark’s huge popularity, Aidan had barely seen an episode until recently.
He admitted: “I’d never watched anything I’ve been in but I thought it was about time I got over that.
“And you know what? It’s not so bad. I must watch the first series now to see what the fuss is all about.
“It was becoming a thing. Like with ‘And Then There Were None’, I only watched the first episode. I adored it, but for some reason I couldn’t watch the rest.”
And Aidan admits his decision not to watch was a bad one as he feels there is a lot to learn from seeing his performances on screen.
He told heat magazine: “I was beginning to get into the bad habit of not watching my stuff and I think an actor should watch what they do because you learn from it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Walsh poked fun at Dermot O’Leary during Saturday’s (08.10.16) ‘X Factor’.
Both Louis and Dermot were axed from the show last year, with Dermot replaced by presenting duo Caroline Flack and Olly Murs and Louis replaced by judge Nick Grimshaw and the Irish music manager couldn’t resist alluding to it during the first live show this year.
When Dermot approached the judges’ table, Louis quipped: “Where’s Olly?”
Dermot simply responded by saying “Oh Louis” while the studio audience booed the judge.
Meanwhile, it wasn’t the best start to the live shows for Louis as his band Brooks Way were suspended.
Twins Josh and Kyle Brooks, 17, did not take part in the live show after it was revealed that show bosses are looking into claims that Josh sent threatening messages to his former girlfriend Amelia Clarke.
A source told MirrorOnline: “They’re investigating serious allegations about Josh allegedly sending threatening messages to her.”
Another source added: “They are not being replaced by another act – there will simply be 11 acts, not 12.
“Show bosses have not axed them – they have been suspended while the show has a chance to investigate claims.”
The pair were put through to the live shows by mentor Louis but during the week Josh was forced to deny claims he had assaulted Amelia after a report emerged claiming he had been arrested after a fight broke out at a New Year’s party.
He said in a statement: “A fight broke out between me and another male at a party.
“Amelia, along with others, tried to break it up and she was accidentally knocked in the process. It was never my intention to hurt her or put her in danger and this situation is way out of my character.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ bosses reportedly fear Anastacia will not be able to continue with the show beyond this weekend.
The 48-year-old singer-songwriter and cancer survivor tore the scar tissue around her double mastectomy just before last weekend’s programme, prompting a last-minute change to her dance routine, and despite being given the go-ahead to compete by doctors, Anastacia is still struggling.
‘Strictly’ professional dancer Ian Waite, who has seen footage of the singer preparing with her partner Brendan Cole, told BBC Two’s ‘It Takes Two’: “There is an issue.
“Anastacia’s head keeps coming into Brendan whereas I would like to see her get her head out a bit more like a flower in a vase. Maybe it’s because of her injury.”
Anastacia is delighted she has been given the green light to keep dancing as she is donating her appearance fee to Cancer Research UK.
A spokeswoman recently said: “She is doing this to raise money for breast cancer, so unless a doctor tells her she can’t carry on, quitting would never be an option. Anastacia and Brendan are now in rehearsal.
“Anastacia visited the clinic of a specialist in breast reconstruction surgery. The doctor again confirmed that there was a tear in the scar tissue, which although painful is not permanent. She was given the all clear to dance this weekend with the caveat that the routine is carefully choreographed and she has been given the appropriate medication.
“Brendan was with her for her appointments and they have been filmed for this weekend’s episode.”
