OHMYGOSSIP — Ralf Little has been amazed by the longevity of ‘Death in Paradise’.
The BBC crime-drama series has been on the air since 2011, and Ralf can’t believe that the show will soon reach its 100th episode.
The 43-year-old actor – who plays the part of DI Neville Parker – shared: “Episode 69 was my first as DI Neville Parker, which is almost seven-tenths of the way to 100. So, the bulk of it was already there.
“But the idea that I’d be able to do another thirty one episodes on top of that to reach 100 is astonishing. If I’m really honest, I was just hoping to get to the end of the first series and for everybody not to hate it. Everything after that was a bonus!”
Ralf loves working with the show’s cast and crew, and he credits them with the success of the programme.
The actor has even likened working on ‘Death in Paradise’ – which is filmed on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe – to winning the lottery.
Ralf – who has previously played soccer at a semi-professional level – said: “At the risk of sounding like a footballer going, ‘It’s all about the team’, these personal milestones are lovely to reach and they’re incredibly satisfying. But it is all about the show, the people loving it and everyone working together.
“For me to have been here and be lucky enough to lead a stellar cast and be trusted with this legacy is something I can’t believe. I thank my lucky stars every day and feel like I’ve won the lottery.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lord Sugar wants King Charles to appear on ‘The Apprentice’.
The 74-year-old businessman has ruled out the possibility of shooting an all-star series, but Lord Sugar would love to get the 75-year-old monarch on the BBC show.
Quizzed about the possibility of creating an all-star series, Lord Sugar told Express.co.uk: “Yeah, it’s a very, very good question. And it has been raised before. The thing is it doesn’t create the jeopardy that’s needed.
“I think what we would like to do, and what I would like to do, and of course the decision lies firmly with the BBC, is that we have another series coming up, obviously series 19. And then they need to do something very, very special for the 20th year of ‘The Apprentice’.
“Oh, you never know. I might invite the King to come along.”
The outspoken businessman added that previous contestants, like Saira Khan, might be “too old” to return to ‘The Apprentice’.
He said: “Well, the problem is you might find that if you go back 18 years … Saira Khan lost the title to Tim [Campbell]. Uh, dare I say, and she’ll bite my head off for this, she might be a bit too old now.”
Meanwhile, Lord Sugar recently teased the new series of ‘The Apprentice’, suggesting that the contestants are better than ever.
He said: “I think it’s probably the most highly qualified set of candidates we’ve ever had. Pharmacist, dentist, some already successful business owners.
“I think from that point of view, the standard is really very high, but with high standard and high achievers comes high ego!
“They think they’re really, really, really, really good. And like most entrepreneurs and highly successful people, they often think they’re the best in the room, and working as a team can prove very challenging for some people.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Owen Warner has quit ‘Hollyoaks’ after six years on the soap.
The 24-year-old actor has already filmed his final scenes for the show, and Owen admitted that he feels “really sad” to be leaving the soap.
Owen – who played the part of Romeo Nightingale on the long-running show – told The Sun newspaper: “Walking away from ‘Hollyoaks’ is a really sad thing to do.
“I’d always say to the producer that if possible I would love for the door to be left open but you never know what could happen. Could always do a Lazarus if he does get killed off.
“That’s the thing that’s really sad about leaving ‘Hollyoaks’, the fans are so lovely. It’s going to be sad to walk away from because they are really lovely loyal fans.”
On the show, Romeo has confessed to the murder of his abusive girlfriend Rayne Royce.
And although Romeo is now facing life behind bars, Owen has warned that there could still be a twist in the story.
The actor explained: “It’s ‘Hollyoaks’, there’s always a twist. When I was told what it was going to be I was like, ‘Are you joking?’
“I had to look the producer in the eye and say, ‘Are you serious? I feel like I’m being had on here, I don’t know how this is real. Surely not.’
“There’s loads of twists and safe to say, it’s a memorable one.”
Meanwhile, Owen has also revealed that he’s tempted by the lure of Hollywood.
Speaking about his long-term plans, he said: “I think every actor is considering Hollywood but I’m not under any illusion.
“It’s a hard industry and it’s all about the opportunities you get and the rooms you get yourself in, so I’m just looking forward to networking, meeting people and hopefully working on some good projects.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Davide Sanclimenti felt blindsided by Ekin-Su Culculoglu’s split announcement.
The ‘Love Island’ star has explained that while their break-up was a joint decision, he was surprised by the timing of Ekin-Su’s announcement, as it came amid her appearance on ‘The Traitors US’.
Davide wrote on Instagram: “Life sometimes reserves surprises and suddenly wakes you up…
“Ekin and I, just after the ski holidays, decided to go different ways. It was a joint decision, but I was waiting to make it public to respect her time in the show. I don’t know why the agreed statement changed last minute.
“I agree, it was a beautiful story, even with its ups and downs like all couples.
“I loved every moment, from the first time I knew her in the villa until life outside. I really believed in us and saw a future for us. But sometimes in life people need to grow apart. Is just the direction of life. I will treasure our moments forever.
“Now it’s time to focus on myself. I love you all always, thank you for the unconditional support everyone showed me from the beginning.”
Ekin-Su recently took to social media to confirm their break-up.
The 29-year-old beauty claimed that she took the decision to end their relationship.
She wrote on Instagram: “The last 18-months have been a rollercoaster of ups and downs, just like every relationship. Davide and I both wanted to make this work as we cared deeply for each other.
“Unfortunately I have recently made the decision to end our relationship and to go our separate ways..
“Breakups are never easy. For any couple. And we hope that our privacy will be respected. I enjoyed our time together and the memories we made.
“Thank you for your continued support. It’s been so lovely to have you follow our Love Island journeys together since the villa and we hope you’ll continue to follow our careers as we go off in our own directions. Love always, Ekin-Su. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Wicks is expecting his fourth child with wife Rosie.
The 38-year-old ‘Body Coach’ and his partner, 33, already have daughters Indigo, five, and 16-month-old Leni, as well as son Marley, three.
Joe announced the news he was adding to his brood in an Instagram post on Tuesday (30.01.24), in which he wrote alongside a picture of him holding one of his kids beside Rosie as she showed off her baby bump: “Baby number 4 incoming #20weeks.”
Joe’s eldest daughter Indigo was born in 2018 while his son Marley was born three weeks early in 2019 and his youngest daughter Leni arrived in 2022.
The fitness expert became a household name during Covid with his daily morning ‘PE’ lessons on YouTube that were followed by millions of people across the world.
In 2020, he claimed a Guinness World Record after one of his online fitness classes was watched by nearly a million people.
And in 2022, he opened up about his “chaotic” childhood in the BBC documentary, ‘Joe Wicks: Facing my Childhood’ which explored his experiences growing up in a household with addiction and mental illness.
Joe and Rosie have been together since 2016 and tied the knot at a countryside ceremony in 2019.
Last July, the fitness guru – who has said he and Rosie want six kids – revealed he had pulled daughter Indie out of reception to homeschool the girl.
He has said he and Rosie plan to do at least one year of home educating at their £4 million mansion in Surrey.
Joe announced on Instagram: “There’s really nothing more to the decision than we just love being together as a family and want to spend more time with the kids while we can.
“She had a great year in reception but we have always loved teaching the kids at home and want the freedom to travel more and explore the world.
“She might go to school next year. We have no idea long term but want to do at least a year of home educating.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rylan Clark is desperate to appear on a celebrity version of ‘The Traitors’.
The former ‘X Factor’ and ‘Celebrity Big Brother star’ has insisted while his days as a contestant on a reality TV show are over, he would make an exception to join Claudia Winkleman’s BBC gameshow.
He told Radio Times Magazine: “I would hate nothing more than to be a contestant again. Unless it was on Celebrity Traitors. I’d go to town on that.
“Literally every time I see Claudia, I’m like, ‘Why has this not been done? Sort it out or I’ll cut your fringe off, babe.’ ”
The 35-year-old presenter is a huge fan of the game of bluff and deception, and he’s loving getting to see his pal Claudia in such a fun role.
He added: “I love The Traitors, obviously! Everyone’s on that bandwagon.
“Claud is a good mate of mine – seeing her with her high collars and fringe makes me smile.”
The game sees 22 strangers – made up of Faithful and Traitors – come together in a Scottish castle, as they face daily challenges to increase the show’s prize fund up to a maximum of £120,000.
The Faithful’s task throughout the game is to eliminate the Traitors in roundtable banishments, but each night the Traitors can “murder” a Faithful of their choosing.
Any Faithful left at the end of the game will share the prize pot, but if just one Traitor is among them they will win the lot, which happened in the recent second series as Harry Clark took home £95,000.
Despite viewers loving having the show made up of ordinary people, executive producer Stephen Lambert is open to a celebrity edition one day.
He told ‘The News Agent’ podcast: “I think it would be pretty entertaining… We talk to the BBC about the future of all our shows and that’s obviously a possibility.
“The original Dutch version was with Dutch celebrities. So, it was really a decision that we made with the BBC to make the first British version without celebrities.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ couple Molly Rainford and Tyler West have moved in together.
The 23-year-old singer-and-actress and the 27-year-old KISS FM DJ fell for each other on the BBC One Latin and ballroom show in September 2022, and they’ve now taken their romance to a new level by getting their first home together and revealed they are sharing their home improvements journey with their followers.
Alongside a clip of the couple inside their new home and in the ‘Strictly’ ballroom doing a clapping routine, she wrote on Instagram: “Well guys, it was only right that we let you into our little home, the next part of our journey starts now @homewithmolty.”
At the end of the clip, Tyler quips: “We’ve got a lot of cleaning up to do babe.”
And she laughs back: “Me?”
Some of the ‘Strictly’ stars have congratulated the loved-up couple.
Gorka Marquez wrote: “Congrats guys!!!”
Neil Jones commented: “This is what life is about.”
Their fellow 2022 ‘Strictly’ co-star Fleur East said: “Wooo!! Congrats. Here for the home content.”
After previously denying speculation they were dating, the pair posted a TikTok with Tyler seen placing his hand on Molly’s leg as they recited lines from ‘Friends’.
The audio they used was of Rachel Green and Joey Tribanni telling each other they knew Monica Geller and Chandler Bing were dating in secret.
The clip was captioned: “Did you know? @MollyRainford,” with Tyler adding a red love heart and a crying with laughter emoji.
The DJ previously dismissed speculation he was romancing the ‘EastEnders’ star after they were pictured together in October 2022, due to the show’s “intense” training schedule.
He said: at the time: “It was just the wrong place to be waiting for our cabs.
“Mols is wicked, she’s cool. You are having lunch together, training together… it is an intense schedule but there is no romance.
“I have been so focused on myself and dance, I wouldn’t have time to date. If you see my schedule, I don’t even have time to reply to a female even if they did message me. Looking forward to after the show, though. Who knows?”
Tyler also revealed he had moved back in with his mum to save money.
He said: “Debs is living her best life on the Strictly journey. She doesn’t want me to move out. Talk about the cost-of-living crisis!
“She has been a rock in my life and on my Strictly journey. She always keeps my feet on the ground.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir David Jason has insisted an ‘Only Fools And Horses’ revival “just wouldn’t work”.
The 83-year-old actor – who appeared in the iconic sitcom from 1981 to 2003 with Nicholas Lyndhurst, 62 – has made it clear that a reboot of the programme isn’t on the cards.
Speaking with Radio Times magazine alongside Jay Blades, the pair were asked if an ‘Only Fools and Horses’ revival was possible, to which the 53-year-old TV star said: “Oh, I’d love that. I want to be in it. I could be a long-lost nephew.”
David quickly added that he believed a reunion “wouldn’t work” due to the loss of the sitcom’s creator John Sullivan – who died in 2011 – who he described as a “magician”.
He said: “You’d be long, long, long lost if you appeared in it.
“I’ve had offers over the years, but without John Sullivan it just wouldn’t work. He was a magician and could whip up humour out of virtually nothing – that was his genius.
“Without him, I don’t see it working, sadly.”
Despite his insistence on the show staying in the past, David emphasised it was a ‘privilege” to have appeared in ‘Only Fools and Horses’, and commented on his status as a “national treasure”.
Speaking to The Times newspaper, he said: “Being part of ‘Only Fools and Horses’ is a privilege.
“I know how much it has meant to so many people.
“I hope I never take the title ‘national treasure’ too seriously – I call myself the ‘leg end’, but it’s humbling that people see me that way.”
The actor also admitted he hadn’t watched his co-star Nicholas Lyndhurst in the Paramount+ reboot of ‘Frasier’, which made its comeback in October 2023.
When asked what he thought of Nicholas’ performance as the boozy professor Alan Cornwall on the show, he said: “Winter evenings have us hunkering down in front of the fire and watching television.
“I haven’t seen the reboot of ‘Frasier’ yet with Nick Lyndhurst, my old co-star from ‘Only Fools and Horses’, but I’m sure he will have done a great job.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gabby Logan, Gok Wan and Mel Giedroyc are set to be guest hosts on ‘Pointless’.
The BBC quiz show, in which contestants have to solve questions with the most niche answer possible, is usually co-hosted by Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, but a number of celebrity stars, including Gabby, Gok and Mel, are due to present the programme for the upcoming series.
In a statement to the BBC, the ‘Sports Personality of the Year’ host said: “I’m very excited for my turn in the Pointless co-hosting chair! I’ve been a fan for years, can’t wait to join Alexander, learn a few things and cheer on the winning team!”
The 49-year-old stylist agreed and emphasised he hoped he could “redeem himself” after previously performing “so painfully badly” as a contestant.
He said: “Having appeared on the show as a contestant, and doing so painfully badly, I am hoping by going on and filling those notorious shoes behind the desk, I can redeem myself. I am very excited to be joining the Pointless team in this landmark show.”
Mel Giedroyc added: “Alongside the Roosevelt desk, ‘The News at 10’ desk and that of David Brent, the ‘Pointless’ desk is iconic, and I feel beyond privileged to get to take a seat behind it as co-host for the new series of Pointless.
“The chance to quiz with Xander just makes the whole thing the epitome of perfection – I cannot wait.”
The trio are not the only celebrities due to host the show, as Liza Tarbuck, Chris Ramsey, Anita Rani, Josh Widdicombe, Phil Wang, Hugh Dennis, Ellie Taylor, Rob Rinder and Desiree Burch are also set to quiz contestants in the new series.
Alexander Armstrong admitted he couldn’t wait to “get his [my] teeth” into the new season of the programme, and was happy to be joined by so many “brilliant people”.
He said: “I can’t wait to get my teeth into a new run of ‘Pointless’ with all these brilliant people. I’m so enjoying glancing over to the desk to find so many fabulous faces looking back and furnishing me, and our lovely viewers, with facts.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Katherine Ryan would let her daughter go on ‘Love Island’ to find romance.
The 40-year-old comedian insisted her daughter Violet, 14, has learned not to repeat mistakes made by her famous mum – who dated a man twice her age when she was in her teens – and she’s more likely to “rebel” by going into a career as an “electrical engineer”.
Katherine told The Sun newspaper: “Right now she’s really into real estate. If she wanted to get into TV, I wouldn’t be against ‘Love Island’.
“She’d be the Dani Dyer type. It will probably be one of the safest places for a teenager to be in a few years because of the safeguarding on that show.
“Hopefully I’ve given her enough support and self-esteem that she wouldn’t want to be an attention-seeking performer like I am.
“I can imagine her just there to prop the other girls up and say all the right things and be a sweetheart.”
The mum-of-three recalled being 17 when she was “going out with someone who was 31”, and admitted when she was younger she was “doing all kinds of dangerous things”.
However, she added: “I don’t think Violet will make those kinds of mistakes.
“She probably can’t help but absorb my feminist mantras, so I think she values herself more than I did at that age.
“She’s headstrong, she knows her value, she’s really good at speaking up when she thinks someone is being exploited or that something is unfair, and she’s got great boundaries.”
Although Violet seems “not bothered” about following her mum into the world of television, Katherine isn’t worried if she does despite her own experiences with predatory men.
She said: “She’s part of this generation of young women really advocating for themselves, and I don’t need to warn her about anything because she won’t make the mistakes I have.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Clark treated his friends and family to a £2,000 pub party after winning ‘The Traitors’.
Over the weekend, the 23-year-old Army lance corporal – who won the BBC reality show in Friday’s (26.01.24) dramatic final – has already started to spent his £95,000 winnings after promising to take care of his loved ones.
As reported by The Sun newspaper, he hired out a function room at The George pub in Eton, Berks for around 18 of his family and friends.
It’s said the group spent five and a half hours at the venue 24 hours after the final aired.
Kevin Fernandes – marketing manager at the Windsor and Eton Brewery, which runs the pub – said: “Harry isn’t a regular but he’s been in a few times before.
“He wanted to have his party at the best pub around, and we are one of the best.
“Before his party, I wanted to know what his favourite beer is. He said it’s Republika, our personal lager. That was nice.”
He revealed that almost 20 people turned up in total, and the group were given “some privacy” in a separate room.
As well as picking up the whole bill of around £2,000, Harry also gave staff a generous tip and it’s said they were “really happy” with how he came across.
Kevin added: “There were around 18 or 19 of them and we left them to have some privacy in the Hop House, our function room. My staff were really happy with Harry.
“They said he is a very nice, down-to-earth person. He had no attitude, was very softly spoken and nice to talk to.
“No one was really drunk – they were all just having a good time. I have no idea how many times they played ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ though!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel Brocklebank admitted his “legs went weak” after learning of his heartbreaking ‘Coronation Street’ storyline.
The 44-year-old actor, who plays Billy Mayhew in the ITV soap, revealed he was moved after reading that his character would be involved in a motor neurone disease (MND) story, after his grandfather passed away from the disease 22 years ago.
During an appearance on ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’, he said: “I was out walking the dogs, the phone rang, we don’t often get cold calls from our bosses, so when I answered the phone, Verity, who is our assistant producer, said, ‘We’d just like to tell you about what’s going to be going on with the storyline. Billy and Paul [Foreman] are going to get married.’
“I was like, ‘Oh, this is really lovely!’ but she said Paul is going to be diagnosed with motor neurone disease and my legs went a bit weak because it’s been such a big subject in my life for the last two decades.”
Daniel admitted that the planned storyline was “quite a surprise” considering the producers didn’t know he had lost his grandfather to the disease, but the soap star added that his relative could have been “sat on a cloud somewhere orchestrating it”.
He explained: “I can’t help but think that my grandad had something to do with it, he’s sat on a cloud somewhere orchestrating it, it feels strangely beautiful in a way to commemorate him and the many other people I’ve known with MND over the years, telling their stories so publicly.”
Previously, Daniel had opened up to the Daily Mirror newspaper about MND, and called it “one of the cruelest diseases”.
He said: “It’s one of the cruellest diseases I’ve ever seen and watching my Grandad literally disintegrate physically in front of us was one of the worst things I’ve ever endured.
“This is one of the most important things I’ve ever had to play in my whole 30 year career – never, ever have I done something so close to home. There are already similarities within scenes that are bringing back sad memories, so when Billy cries, my tears are very easy to find.”
