OHMYGOSSIP — Melvin Odoom has been voted off ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The former ‘Xtra Factor’ presenter and his professional partner Janette Manrara found themselves in the bottom two on Sunday (02.10.16) with Anastacia and Brendan Cole but they were eliminated without a dance-off.
Melvin and Janette received the lowest number of public votes and when it was discovered that Anastacia’s injury, which she struggled with on Saturday’s (01.10.16) show, would prevent her from performing again on Sunday, Marvin and Janette were sent home.
Melvin said: “I just need to say, every single person on this show; the contestants, the dancers, the production, the judges, everyone is absolutely amazing.
“It’s a blessing to be on the show and thank you for Janette, it’s been a great experience for me, so thank you.
“It was unexpected but I care about the people before everything else. I love Anastacia, I think she’s a great woman, she’s a great role model and her health comes first before everything else.
“As much as this is a great show and competition, her health comes first. It’s the way it is.”
And Janette paid tribute to Melvin, who she called a “beautiful soul”.
She said: “Melvin has got such a beautiful soul, such a gorgeous smile, an infectious personality and I just want to thank you for making this a short but extremely sweet journey for me.”

And Nicole has revealed she feels threatened by red-headed “Mrs O”, who will be selecting her three from the Overs category tonight.
She explained: “My strongest competition is Mrs O’s category, which is the Overs – they have some really strong, heavy hitters and big voices. People who are really experienced.

OHMYGOSSIP — Karren Brady’s “favourite task” on ‘The Apprentice’ was producing gin.
The 47-year-old businesswoman – who is a panellist on the BBC One show alongside Lord Alan Sugar – has revealed she found the most enjoyment from the show when the budding entrepreneurs were asked to produce alcohol, because she has to sample the product.
Speaking to The Mirror Online about the programme, the Baroness said: “My and fellow adviser Claude Littner’s favourite task was when they produced gin. We had to try it, of course.”
And Karen has revealed instead of spitting the gin out, which you are meant to do when sampling alcohol to avoid getting inebriated, her and her colleague kept swallowing.
She explained: “And it was pointed out that our spittoon [where you’re supposed to spit it out] was empty. We were just drinking the gin – we took that day pretty seriously!”
And the star has revealed she also enjoyed a project hosted at an attraction site, because it mimicked a sketch on the popular comedy ‘Carry On’ franchise.
She explained: “There’s another one where they host an event at an attraction. I called it ‘Carry On Up The Aquarium’ – it’s hysterical.”
However, Karren has admitted despite the entertaining episodes, this series is much “tougher” than any season before.
She explained: “The tasks start tough then get tougher. There are more elements to each one so we can see if the candidates have all the skills for creating a good business. Everyone has a role to play, nobody can hide.”
And Lord Sugar’s colleague has revealed she has had to stay awake until the early hours of the morning chasing the contestants.
She said: “Yes. If it says we’re up at 2am, we were. I’ve spent most of this series in trainers and jeans, doing late nights. What’s great about ‘The Apprentice’ is that it’s authentic. There is no set-up, no script, no retakes. Any entertainment that comes from it happens naturally. I tell the candidates: ‘Please don’t ask me anything, I’m not here.’ They know the rules, Claude and I are just there to observe and report back to Alan.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dermot O’Leary found it “difficult” boarding a flight home with contestants who were unsuccessful at the judges’ houses.
The 43-year-old presenter, who is on hand to console and celebrate with the shows contestants after their performances, has admitted the worst part of the judges houses is when all of the talent have to travel home together, because you can feel “a sense of loss” for those who didn’t make it to the live stage.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper’s TV magazine about the aftermath at Louis Walsh’s house in Ibiza, Spain, which saw him whittle his groups down, he said: “I speak to the contestants before they go to sing for Louis, Alesha and Fleur – I just give them a little pep talk – and then I’m there to put an arm round them afterwards. There’s not much I can do at this stage in the competition. It’s tough.
“Louis has made his deliberations and now we need to tell the contestants who’s going through. It’s the toughest part as you know half of them are going home unhappy.”
“Louis breaks the bad and good news to the contestants and then they come straight round to me. One of the groups tries to bundle me while they are celebrating, but they miss and land on each other instead!
“That’s it for Ibiza, but things are difficult as we’re all on the same flight home,
“So there are four groups who have been told they’re out. There’s a sense of loss for them, and elation for the ones who got through.”
Dermot – who previously hosted the show for eight years before being replaced by Caroline Flack and Olly Murs last year, to return again for this series – has admitted during the three days he was in Ibiza with Louis he had to “refresh” his memory on the contestants’ stories so far.
He explained: “I start doing my prep and refresh my memory on what the contestants have done so far. Then we film loads of links – it’s best to get them in the bag now so we can forget about them when the contestants perform.”
