OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Goodger was refused entry into a nightclub in London last week.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star had arranged to celebrate her 30th birthday at Drama on Park Lane over the weekend with some of her girl pals but she was left fuming when she queued up for 25 minutes to then be told she wasn’t allowed to enter because no table was booked for her.
Writing in her column for new! magazine, she said: “I hadn’t made plans for my 30th, but my sister Rianna told me I couldn’t do nothing, so on Saturday I texted a few of the girls to see if they fancied going to a club called Drama on London’s Park Lane. I booked a table, but when we arrived at 11pm the queue was huge! We waited for 25 minutes for the guy I’d booked the table through to meet us, but then this girl with a clipboard went up to the bouncer and said, ‘Tell her she’s not coming in. There’s no table booked for her. Bye.’ I couldn’t believe the rudeness of her! She turned her nose up at me. I was so shocked as it was so uncalled for. I was just going there to celebrate my birthday and spend money! We were all dressed very classy and just wanted a nice girls’ night out, and I’d never been before so it was a shame.”
Despite the disastrous start to her birthday bash, the brunette beauty stormed off and managed to get into DSTRKT with her friends.
She explained: “We went to DSTRKT instead, but as I hadn’t pre-booked, there was a minimum spend and a bottle of vodka cost me £690. I was so hungover the next say, but I had a meal booked with my family and friends so I had to suck it up. It turned out to be a really good weekend.”
Lauren isn’t the only cast member of ‘TOWIE’ to be turned away from a nightclub as her friend Chloe Sims was also given the cold shoulder from a mystery boozer in the capital lats month.
She said recently: “I was refused entry to a London club last week because it ha a ‘No TOWIE’ policy. It’s discrimination.
“I’m quite a respectable person, I don’t carry myself in a bad way or run around with my tits falling out in front of the paps. I just go out and you don’t see much of me. The world’s gone mad.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gleb Savchenko has bet £100 Giovanni Pernice will hook up with his partner Laura Whitmore on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 33-year-old Russian dancer – who appeared on the UK ballroom and latin show last year but is now on ‘Dancing With the Stars’ – isn’t surprised the Italian hunk has split from Georgia May Foote, who he met on the programme last year, and is convinced he’ll now try his luck with the blonde presenter.
Speaking to Star magazine, he said: “I’m not shocked [he’s split with Georgia]. He’s young and he’s Italian. You know what Italians are like! They were never going to get married, have kids and live happily ever after.
“I bet you £100 Giovanni will get with Laura this year. And next season I’ll bet you another £100 he will get with his new partner!”
And it seems Giovanni, 26, could be in with a chance as Laura has made no secret of the fact she’d like to find love on the show.
She said at the time: “I did laugh when they were talking about your dance partner. I was like, ‘Is it dance partner or is it a future husband?’ Friends who have been on the show told me you make best friends for life. They said you do become close as your dance partner is such a big figure to you and you rely on them so much. So it’s not actually romantic. Then again, the show has made a lot of couples. How many relationships have come out of it? Quite a few.”
Georgia and Giovanni revealed they were going their separate ways late last month, just weeks before it was announced he’d been partnered with the 31-year-old beauty for the new series.
Georgia, 25, wrote on Twitter at the time: “It is with great sadness we have decided to split up.
“There is nobody else involved. Although it was not an easy decision to make, sometimes you realise that it is better to be friends and this is one of those times.
“We both have very busy work schedules for the rest of the year so we are both going to focus on our upcoming work projects and we wish each other well for the future.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lin Blakley is “so sad” to be leaving ‘EastEnders’.
The 68-year-old actress is set to bow out of the long-running soap as grieving grandmother Pam Coker over the coming months and, although she’s looking forward to exploring other roles, she’s devastated she’ll no longer be able to work with her on-screen husband Roger Sloman.
She explained: “Yes, I am [so sad to be leaving]. I’d be silly and telling you a lie if I said I wasn’t. Of course I am, because I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being with Roger [Sloman, who plays Les Coker]. I’ve enjoyed being Pam and I’ve enjoyed having those two characters together. It’s also lovely to know in my heart that it’s achieved a lot, because the Cokers have got a lot of fans out there. I shall miss that.
“And I shall miss the people up at Borehamwood [where the show is filmed], because I’ve made some great friends.
“But I saw Roger yesterday. We had a coffee, a chat and a walk in Richmond Park. So I won’t be losing a friend. We’ve been joined at the hip for two years, so I don’t think we could say goodbye to each other altogether.”
The blonde star is also heartbroken she’s having to wave goodbye to her character after two-and-a-half years.
She explained: “I’ve not played a character like that for two-and-a-half years. I’ve played characters in theatre for about nine or 10 months, but nothing this long. So I will really miss playing Pam and I will really miss being with Roger.”
Lin is currently in the process of shooting her departure scenes but she’s already started thinking about her future.
Speaking to Digital Spy, she said: “I would like to continue playing different characters, I really would. I’d like to make a dent in comedy, heavy drama and tragedy. I want to play it all, I really do. I want to do film, television and I want to do theatre. So hopefully all of those doors will open.
“I’d like the next person I play to be different from Pam, so I’d really love to play different characters. So would any actor when they’re coming out of something.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Great British Bake Off’ winner Nadiya Hussain thinks the show will fall apart without Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc.
The hosts decided to quit the programme after Channel 4 snatched the rights to the series from BBC earlier this month and, although many people are convinced judge Mary Berry’s departure will wreak havoc for producers, the 31-year-old star believes bosses should be more concerned about the presenters abrupt exit because they make the show the success it is.
Speaking on ‘BBC Breakfast’ on Wednesday (28.09.16), she said: “Paul [Hollywood] and Mary [Berry], they’re the judges so you don’t really see them that much.
“You don’t get that interaction with them but Mel and Sue, they are so important to the show. Every time I was falling apart, they would come along and say ‘oh, it’s just cake.’ ”
However, although she’s not sure the baking show will continue to be a success now that Mary, Mel and Sue have left, Nadiya thinks a change in broadcaster could be a good thing.
She explained: “I’m all about change, you know what, it’s gone somewhere else and I don’t think we like change as humans but I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. Hopefully it will work wherever it goes.”
Mary, 81, announced she was bowing out as head judge last week out of “loyalty” to the BBC, whereas her co-star Paul Hollywood decided to follow the show across to Channel 4.
Bosses are now on a hunt to find a judge to take Mary’s place and, although she’s the hot favourite to take over, Nadiya – who won the series last year – isn’t interested in filling her shoes.
She said: “I’m kind of enjoying what I’m doing, actually. I’ve written these [cook] books and I don’t want that to be taken from me.”
The future of the programme has been hanging in the balance since it was revealed Channel 4 had bought the rights to the ‘GBBO’ for an estimated £75 million earlier this month.
Channel 4 reportedly waded in with the three-year mega money deal after they found out negotiations between the BBC and Love Productions – the makers of the programme – had broken down.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kellie Bright is planning to leave ‘EastEnders’ for six months.
The 40-year-old actress will bow out of the long-running soap as mouthy pub landlady Linda Carter later this year in order to give birth to her second child but, despite so many cast members quitting permanently, the blonde beauty is adamant she’ll be back on the Square early next year.
Speaking to Inside Soap magazine: “I’ll be on maternity leave for six months. ‘EastEnders’ were really flexible and left it entirely up to me. I didn’t want to be away forever but I also wanted enough time at home to enjoy my new baby.”
Kellie announced she and her husband Paul Stocker- who already have five-year-old son Freddy together – were expecting another little bundle of joy in May.
She tweeted at the time: “Shhh… Don’t tell anyone, but I’m pregnant! My hubby and I are over the moon & looking forward 2 meeting our little person in Nov #Mama@40 (sic).”
Although Kellie’s alter ego will be making a return, the same can’t be said for Annette Badland – who plays acid tongue chef Aunt Babe – as she’s being written out this year.
However, bosses are leaving the door open for her return.
A spokesperson said: “Prior to living in the Vic [the soap’s popular pub], Aunt Babe was seen coming and going from the Square to her own life away from Walford. So while she won’t be a permanent resident, Babe will still be in the wings – and coujld well continue to cause aggro for the Carters.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The Only Way is Essex’s Jon Clark has lost 14 pounds in 10 days.
The 27-year-old star embarked on a gruelling 11-hour workout regime everyday for almost two weeks as he wanted to make sure he looked his best while shooting the forthcoming spin-off ‘The Only Way is Marbs’ in Marbella, Spain.
Speaking about his healthy overhaul, the dark haired hunk said: “I’ve just turned 27, so I can see 30 on the horizon and I knew I had to get back in shape.”
The hunk piled on the pounds following a few too many boozy sessions and picking up greasy grub afterwards.
He explained: “It’s getting harder and harder these days to look buff and I’ve been partying way too much and eating badly. I’ve been getting loads of nightclub PAs and when you get there there’s an unlimited supply of beers and vodka and before you know it, it’s late and I’ve had seven bottles of beer and a load of vodkas and then on the way home there’s a take-away KFC, McDonald’s or Domino’s.
“I try not to give in but after the third service station in a row offering late night food I normally cave in and eat at 3am just before going to bed.”
The reality TV star – who was the runner up on the revamped ‘Love Island’ in 2015, which saw him fall head over heels for glamour model Hannah Elizabeth – has revealed he felt too embarrassed to walk around without a top on and felt he had to cover his “lumpy” tummy.
He explained: “Before I came to No 1 Boot Camp [in Norfolk] there’s no way I would have been walking around with my top off. I was looking a bit lumpy around the tummy and my pecs were non-existent. It was hardest 10 days of my life but well worth it. Now I am ready for the new series.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘EastEnders’ resident Dot Branning could lose her job in her new story line.
The Walford legend – played by June Brown – is at risk of getting the sack after it was revealed the iconic Bridge Street launderette was being turned into a dry cleaners by off-screen owner Mr. Papadopolous.
And Dot was told she will need to reapply for a job if she wants a chance at keeping her position.
In the episode aired on Tuesday (27.09.16), customer Shirley Carter asked Dot if she was OK when after she has received the news from her boss on the phone.
Dot replied: “Well, that depends on the fabric content of your wardrobe. Mr Papadopoulos Junior, he’s having the place turned into a dry cleaners.
“Market forces, new consortium, moving with the times – all that old balderdash.
“Well, it appears that I’m going to be interviewed for my own job.”
The Bridge Street launderette has been a part of ‘EastEnders’ since its opening episode in 1895, and the change will no doubt come as a shock to the other Walford residents, not least because now they’ll all have to buy their own washing machines and do their laundry at home.
Fans of the show took to Twitter after the episode aired to vent their frustration at the decision to sack Dot, saying it was “scary” to think of an ‘EastEnders’ world without Dot at the launderette.
One user wrote: “#Eastenders Life without dot at the launderette is a scary thought…XX 🙂 (sic)”
Another said: “I can’t imagine the Laudrette without Dot #EastEnders (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Evans led tributes to Sir Terry Wogan at a memorial held in his memory in London on Tuesday (27.09.16).
The 50-year-old radio presenter branded the late television legend “the best” in his emotional speech as he marked the 50th anniversary of Terry’s first ever appearance on the small screen at the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Of Sir Terry, who died of cancer at his Buckinghamshire home on January 31, aged 77, Chris said : “He wasn’t the best, he is the best, and he will always be the best.”
Chris went on to recall several special memories of Terry – who was best known as the face of the charity ‘BBC Children in Need’ – including choosing to listen to his BBC Radio 2 show when he was a teenager rather than popular BBC Radio 1 because he liked how “uncool” he was.
He said: “I started listening when I was 17. I know I was 17 because it was my first car after I passed my test.
“I suppose I should have been listening to Radio 1, but Terry was livelier, quirkier, cheekier and naughtier, he was happier to be there, he was excited to be there … And he was completely uncool, which I thought was really cool.”
Speaking at the event, which was broadcast live on BBC Radio 2, Chris recalled having dinner with the late star who offered him advice on his BBC Radio 1 job.
He recalled: “He look at me and said, ‘It’s very simple. They either like you or they don’t. Of course he was exactly right.”
A host of stars attended the service including Joanna Lumley and DJ Ken Bruce, while Peter Gabriel, the original singer in Genesis, performed ‘That’ll Do’ and singer/songwriter Katie Melua sang her heart out to ‘The Closest Thing To Crazy’.
Terry’s children, Alan, Mark and Katherine, also attended the emotional ceremony and read prayers.

OHMYGOSSIP — Marc Anwar was planning to leave ‘Coronation Street’ before he was sacked earlier this week.
The 45-year-old actor was axed from the long-running soap after he unleashed a foul-mouthed racist rant on Twitter, but he’s adamant he’d already decided he was going to bow out of his role as Sharif Nazir at the end of November anyway.
Taking to his Twitter account on Monday (26.09.16) after his apology earlier that day, he tweeted “For the record, #marcanwar was to leave show,end of contract in November, apology is from regret, for offending not at early exit. Love all (sic) … No human controls my livelihood but My Allah. Never have never will grovel to anyone! Proud Muslim, proud Pakistani, very proud British. (sic)”
The star was forced to apology over the weekend after he referred to Indians as “b*****ds” and “p**s-drinking *****.”
He said: “I would like to offer my sincerest apologies to anyone I may have offended with my tweets on Friday evening and especially people from India. This was never my intention.
“The language was unacceptable. I feel I have let a lot of people down. My family, my friends and my former colleagues. This I sincerely apologise for.
“On Friday evening I saw on the news children being pulled out of rubble, people being pelted with pellets, women mourning their dead in Kashmir. This upset me very deeply and in a moment of madness I ranted out and vented my anger. My feelings were very sincere for the people of Kashmir and I hope that everyone that everyone I have offended can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”
The highly offensive tweets led to him being dropped from the ITV soap with immediate effect, although the scenes he’s already filmed with still air over the coming weeks.
A statement from ITV bosses read: “We are deeply shocked by the entirely unacceptable, racially offensive comments made on Twitter by Marc Anwar.
“We have talked to Marc and, as a consequence of his comments, he will not be returning to Coronation Street with immediate effect.”
The writers have now been hit with the task of re-writing scripts as Marc’s alter ego is currently involved in a huge storyline, which sees his character cheating on his wife.
Marc – who was born in Pakistan – came under fire on Friday (23.09.16) when he referred to Indians as killers and suggested people from Pakistan should refuse to work in the neighbouring country.
He wrote in a since deleted post: “Why the F***k do #pakistaniartists want work in #f*** face #india, do you love money so much. (sic)”
Subsequently, the actor posted an image of a clenched fist and added: “Ban #india movies in #PakistanisLeaveIndia. B*****ds p**s drinking #c**ts. (sic)”
