OHMYGOSSIP — Andrea McLean has been discharged from hospital following her hysterectomy.
The ‘Loose Women’ panellist underwent the invasive operation, which removes all or part of the womb, last week due to “personal reasons” and she’s hopeful she’ll make a swift recovery from now on because she’s back at home.
Speaking in a video link on the lunchtime show on Tuesday (27.09.16), she said: “Hi everyone, I’m home now. I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your messages. I’m outside, I’m in my favourite place in the whole world, which is my porch so I’m sure that will help me get better very quickly. I’ll be watching.”
The 46-year-old journalist – who has son Finlay, 15, with her ex-husband Nick Green and daughter Amy, nine, with her estranged spouse Steve Toms – announced she was having the operation last Wednesday (21.09.16) and revealed she planned to take four weeks off in order to get back to full health.
She said at the time: “Just to let you know, don’t worry if you don’t see me for the next month or so. I’m actually going to be at home convalescing, as I’m having a hysterectomy tomorrow. Lots of personal reasons for that.”
Andrea had a cancer scare in 2012 when she found a large lump in her right breast and, although she initially decided to ignore the change in her bosom, she was later persuaded to see a doctor by one of her friends.
Her GP arranged a mammogram and it was later revealed that the lump was just harmless “fibrous tissue.”
The television presenter has always been very open about her health battles in the past and admitted earlier this year that she was “gripped” by postnatal depression for two years shortly after her daughter Amy’s birth in 2006.
She said: “I had postnatal depression for two years before I finally went to the doctors. It’s something I suffered from and hid. Now what’s really interesting is we’re all really talkative women and I’ve been working on this show for nine years now and I had it while I was on this show.
“A lot of people obviously see me and I’ve been in hair and makeup and I’m all professional and I do my job smiling, interacting, being interested and engaged but what I was doing was literally sobbing all the way home.”
A hysterectomy is a major operation carried out to treat conditions that affect the female reproductive system.
After all or part of the womb has been removed, the woman will no longer be able to have children naturally.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lord Alan Sugar wants to do a show about the past winners of ‘The Apprentice’.
The 69-year-old business magnate has led a handful of young people to success over the years with the help of the on-going reality TV series, which sees entrepreneurs fight for a £250,000 investment from the billionaire to help kick start their own business, but he’s desperate for the BBC to create a programme for the winning candidates to prove how far they’ve come under his trusty wing.
Speaking at the press conference for the new series of ‘The Apprentice’ in London on Tuesday (27.09.16), he said: “They’re [the winners] all doing very well and they don’t get enough publicity, the BBC doesn’t get enough publicity over the real purpose of this show.
“The real reason why I do this, I enjoy watching these young people grow a business from scratch, which is what I did 50 years ago.
“And that’s why I get a great buzz out of it. For example, Ricky Martin [the winner of 2012’s series] has about 25 people working for him, Tom [Pellereau, who won in 2011] has got eight or nine people working for him. And Mark [wright, winner in 2014] has got about 30 people working for him. Leah [Totton, who won in 2013] has got two clinics now and Joseph [Valente, who won last year] is just starting. And they all take time to build up. It’s all great and I wish they got a little more publicity about it …
“Some of these people, their lives have changed. They’ve built houses, most of them have got married, got families, they’ve got security and they’re employing people and they’ve turned into great business people.
“I think the BBC need to do something like a programme on where they are now and what they’re doing now because it’ll show the great service that the programme is actually performing for young people, to inspire them.”
The next series of ‘The Apprentice’ will return to screens next Thursday (06.09.16) on BBC One at 9pm as 18 fresh-faced candidates fight to prove they’re worthy of Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment and, in turn, press on with their business plan.

The 26-year-old reality star – who left the popular MTV show in 2013 – will make her comeback on the programme in series 13, which will see her join the only remaining original cast member Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle as well as Aaron Chalmers and Marnie Simpson as they tour around Europe’s party hot spots including Spain’s Magaluf, Ibiza as well as Kavos and Ayia Napa.
Sophie’s return comes after she left the show in series seven following allegations she had made a racial slur, however the blonde beauty has admitted she is eager to be reunited with her housemates after three years.
Speaking previously, a source close to the star said: “Sophie can’t wait to return to ‘Geordie Shore’, it’s a dream come true for her!
“She didn’t think it would ever happen but the ‘Geordie Shore’ cast are like family to her and she can’t wait to be reunited with them it’s just a shame Charlotte won’t be there.

The new series of ‘Geordie Shore’ is set to air on MTV on October 25 at 10pm.

OHMYGOSSIP — Children In Need are to stage a special concert in honour of Sir Terry Wogan.
A number of artists including Take That, Ellie Goulding, Olly Murs, Gregory Porter, Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, Rick Astley, Alexander Armstrong, The Vamps and Ward Thomas will take to the stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall on November 1 to pay tribute to the late broadcaster, and the charity’s life president, following his death from cancer in January.
Fearne Cotton and Greg James will host the evening of entertainment and are delighted to be involved.
Speaking about the concert, Fearne said: “It has been an honour working with Sir Terry across the years on Children in Need and it’s a privilege to be hosting Rocks in celebration of his life. It’s going to be a very special evening with some great artists performing some of his favourite tracks.”
Greg added: “It’s a privilege to host Rocks alongside Fearne. Sir Terry was, in my eyes, the ultimate broadcaster. A friend to millions on his radio show and a hero to millions more through his work with Children in Need. It’s an absolute honour to be asked to be part of the concert. It’s going to be a brilliant night.”
As well as the musical performances – which will be accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Crouch End Festival Chorus and the Brighouse and Rastrick Band – the evening will include archive depicting Terry’s incredible radio and television career, including a chance to relive one of the ‘Radio 2 Janet and John’ stories, which he told on his Radio 2 Breakfast Show. This will be accompanied with special illustrations created by Tony Ross.
Appeal films telling the stories of the children and young people supported by the charity will be also be played across the evening.
Tickets for Children In Need Rocks – which will raise money for the charity – are available from www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey.

OHMYGOSSIP — Robert Bathurst feels his acting is “underused and underrated”.
The 59-year-old ‘Cold Feet’ actor – who was cast as management consultant David Marsden in the popular ITV programme for five series and has returned to the show this month after 13 years – has admitted he doesn’t feel he is valued in the industry and believes he could be cast as the lead role in more shows.
Speaking to Radio Times magazine, he said: “There are times when I feel underused and underrated. In the early 1990s, in the annual round-up, someone referred to me as the most underrated actor.
“As a self-employed performer, you can’t be content – you’ve always got to be on the look-out and have a slightly beady attitude to where you might be going next and what you should be doing – and a sense of your own worth, because if you don’t have it, well …”
However, Robert – who starred in the period drama ‘Downton Abbey’, which saw him play widower Sir Anthony Strallan – has revealed the feeling is mutual in the industry and feels reassured when he meets other professionals who are “gnarly” about the roles they play.
He explained: “But then I’ve never met anyone in the profession of any standing who isn’t a bit gnarly about what parts they could have done.”
Meanwhile, Robert – who has four daughters Matilda, Clemency, Oriel and Honor with his wife of 31 years Victoria Threlfall – has revealed, unlike his on-screen character in ‘Cold Feet’, he has “never” had a mid-life crisis because he has not had anything to lose.
Speaking about his similarities with the characters he has played, he said: “I didn’t have a mid-life crisis in my own life because I’ve never been cool, so I never had anything to lose from that point of view.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘X Factor’ boy band Yes Lad thought fellow contestant Honey G was a prank.
The group – made up of Luke Gregory, Cian Gleeson, Sonny Hardman, Joel Healey, and Lewis Maxwell – couldn’t quite believe their eyes when they first met the 35-year-old rap artist during the Boot Camp stage of the competition, and have admitted they didn’t think she was a real contestant.
Speaking to website Digital Spy, Lewis said: “When we first met her and we were filming Boot Camp, we thought she was fake. She was all out there.”
Luke then added: “Because they [X Factor] play tricks on you, don’t they? She had a mic on her. Then we found out she was an act on the show. She is such a lovely woman – when you get to know her she is a really nice woman. There is no one like Honey G.”
Yes Lad got given a second chance on Sunday (25.09.16) after they were kicked off of the show by mentor Louis Walsh during his six chair challenge, but were later reinstated as a wild card.
Honey G was also kicked off the show after she failed to impress Sharon Osbourne, but after original hopeful Ivy Grace Paredes had to withdraw from the competition due to visa complications, the North West London rapper was drafted back in to take her place.
And now the boy band actually know who their fellow contestant is, they can’t wait to see what she does next.
Cian said: “She’ll do well. I’d love to see her in the charts in a year. It would be amazing. Imagine going to a Honey G concert in Wembley?! She was saying last night that she was the next Jay Z. Everyone loves her – she’s funny and she’s out there and it’s refreshing.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jack P. Shepherd thinks David Platt will stop at nothing to get revenge for his wife’s murder – even if it kills him.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star – who recently signed a new contract with the soap – is plotting revenge against thuggish Macca (Gareth Berliner) because his brother Clayton, who stabbed Kylie Platt earlier this year, is in jail, and the 28-year-old actor has warned his alter ego plans to push things to the limits.
He said: “When David gets an idea in his head, he will not stop at anything until he has accomplished whatever he needs to or until the point where he is physically unable to do any more…for example dead.”
Upcoming scenes will see David lying in wait to see Macca in hospital, and he is a menacing presence as he waits for the brute to come out of surgery.
Jack told The Sun newspaper: “David knows exactly where Macca is in the hospital so he heads off there.
“I liked the scenes when David goes with flowers, chocolates and grapes, even telling the ward staff he is here to see his cousin Macca – but it’s clear he is up to something sinister.
“David waits all day for Macca to come out of theatre and there’s a great shot when Macca is wheeled out.
“The trolley pauses and there is a frame of David staring over an unconscious, oblivious Macca for a few seconds before the trolley is wheeled away again.
“David is there to kill.”
Though David promised Kylie (Paula Lane) on her deathbed that he’d be a good guy and look after their family, he knows there are risks involved in pursuing revenge but doesn’t care as he still feels he is fulfilling her wishes.
He said: “He made a promise that he would look after the kids and bring them up well but he also made a promise to Kylie that he would get revenge on the people who murdered her.
“David believes he is not breaking either promise because once he has killed Macca and he is dead himself, his children will be looked after by [his mother] Gail and [brother] Nick.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lord Alan Sugar and Karren Brady have “lots of dinners and chats” even when they’re not filming ‘The Apprentice’.
The 47-year-old sporting executive has been the business magnate’s assistant on the show since 2010 but has admitted their friendship extends further than on screen.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: “We have a lot of dinners and chats. Alan and I are both in the House Of Lords, so we see each other a lot there. He’s incredibly witty and there’s no end to the amount of laughs we have.”
The brunette beauty dishes out advice to contestants while they’re taking part in tasks on the show but is adamant no one tries to flirt with her to get the upper hand on the others.
Karren – who is married to football manager Paul Peschisolido, with whom she has two children daughter Sophia and son Paolo – she explained: “I don’t think I have the sort of aura that says come and flirt with me!
“I think that would work about as well as trying to flirt with Lord Sugar! I think Alan and I are the least flirtable people on TV!”
Meanwhile, Karren will appear back on screens next month as ‘The Apprentice’ returns for another series and she’s managed to lose weight without slaving away in a gym.
She said: “I stopped eating crap! I’ve been eating less and exercising more. It always happens when I’m on the show because we’re running around, so I just kept it up. I don’t go to the gym but I walk a lot. My weight has never been the focus of my existence. You won’t ever find me on a treadmill!”
