OHMYGOSSIP — Kristina Rihanoff was planning to quit ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ before she found out she was pregnant earlier this year.
The professional dancer was forced to turn her back on the ballroom and latin show after she discovered she was expecting her first child with her boyfriend Ben Cohen.
But she had plans to bow out of the programme even before she fell pregnant, as she and her dance partner Robin Windsor had arranged a tour of the UK.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’ on Monday (26.09.16), she said: “In my mind, I sort of thought, ‘OK, this is enough. I want to do something different.’ And I actually had a tour planned around the UK with my partner Robin Windsor.
“So I knew I was going to do my own thing, my own show after ‘Strictly…’. But clearly the universe had other things planned as it all worked out differently.”
The 39-year-old beauty gave birth to her daughter Milena three months ago and, although she’d love to lose the extra baby weight, she doesn’t think her body will ever go back to how it was prior to falling pregnant with her little girl.
She explained: “I think my body will never be the same after having a baby but it’s fine because she’s the most important thing in the world …
“Hopefully I’ll lose this weight but I don’t want to be obsessed with it. I’m breast feeding… you can’t diet or anything.”
Kristina met Ben, 38, on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in 2013 when they were paired together for the show and, despite rumours claiming they were dating at the time, the pair have always insisted they only got together after the former rugby player had split from his childhood sweetheart Abi.
Ben has eight-year-old twin daughters Harriette and Isabelle with Abi, whom he divorced earlier this year.

OHMYGOSSIP — Stevi Ritchie and Chloe-Jasmine Whichello have split up – again.
The couple have reportedly called time on their relationship for a second time after the 25-year-old model failed to turn up to the entertainer’s 36th birthday bash two weeks ago and has refused to have any contact with him since.
A source told The Sun Online: “Stevi and Chloe have split up again. He was absolutely devastated when she stood him up on his birthday even though they had made plans to go out and celebrate. That was almost two weeks ago and he hasn’t heard a word from her in that time, he’s so upset.
“Stevi is also very confused because she hadn’t explained why she was a no-show so now he has just assumed that they are over.”
Despite his heartache, Stevi put on a “brave face” at several events this weekend including an appearance on ITV’s ‘The Xtra Factor’ on Sunday night (25.09.16).
But an insider says he’s missing Chloe and is “upset” that she has failed to explain herself.
The friend explained: “Stevi missed Chloe not being with him and is still upset that she is ignoring him. But he is a professional and put on a brave face as he was honoured his commitments this weekend.”
Stevi and Chloe met as contestants on ‘The X Factor’ in 2014 and were due to tie the knot in July.
However, the pair didn’t make it down the aisle as they split up temporarily in April following a series of blazing rows.
They got back together a few months later and held an unofficial ceremony on board a boat in July to prove their love for one another.

OHMYGOSSIP — Abi Clarke is reportedly planning to have two ribs removed.
The 25-year-old reality TV star is desperate to make a return to ‘The Only Way is Essex – the show that made her damous in 2013 – but wants to make sure she’s looking her best before she bounces back on to screens later this year.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “She knows she needs to compete with the new, younger girls like Megan McKenna. She knows she needs to stand out.”
The blonde beauty is also considering have a boob job and undergoing liposuction on her stomach and thighs.
The insider explained: “She has killer boobs already but wants them even bigger and a booty like Kim Kardashian. She wants her body to pop out and be recognisable.”
But Abi hasn’t got a good track record when it comes to cosmetic surgery as she appeared on ‘Bodyshockers’ last year after her lip filler left her with swollen pout.
However, Abi isn’t just relying on surgery to help her get her dream body as she’s also been slaving away in the gym.
Should producers fail to re-sign her to the ITVBe show, she could fulfil her dream in America as she has had a number of meetings about starring on a reality show out there.
The source explained: “She had auditions for reality shows while [in LA], but they would want her to lose more weight in order for it to work.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Marc Anwar has apologised for his foul-mouthed racist rant and has claimed his outburst was a “moment of madness.”
The sacked ‘Coronation Street’ actor has begged people to “forgive” him after he took to Twitter at the end of last week to call Indians “b*****ds” and “p**s-drinking *****.”
Speaking in a video message posted on YouTube, 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 haven’t just lost him fans as he’s since been dropped from the long-running soap, in which he portrayed Sharif Nazir, with immediate effect.
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.”
However, the incident has also wreaked havoc for the show as 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.
The 45-year-old actor – 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)”
Marc also slammed Indian Prime Minster Narenda Modi and Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who have clashed over the disputed territory of Kashmir.
Earlier this month, some 17 soldiers were killed in Kashmir.
The actor wrote: “F***ing #indians killing our #Kashmir brothers and sisters, beygairth #NawazSharif still sucking #modi Lul! (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Good Morning Britain’ host Kate Garraway was covered in gunge by her daughter at the launch party for the new Beano website.
The 49-year-old TV star attended the fun-filled bash in London on Sunday (25.09.16) and made her kids Darcey and William’s day when agreed to step inside the gunge tank and get covered in yellow slime.
Speaking ahead of her gunging, she said: “My kids have put me up to this, they seem alarmingly keen that I should get covered in slimy yellow gunge which is a bit of a worry. I’m not so keen, very worried about what it’s going to do for my blowdry – probably not very good things! Bit I will give it a go anyway.”
Darcey pulled the cord to release the slime with a huge smile on her face and Kate shrieked as the goo landed on her head.
Afterwards, the presenter said: “Well I think it’s safe to say that was ‘proper gunged’. I kind of imagined that it might be a little like fake gunge, like I wouldn’t actually get covered, but no this is full on gunging. It was a lot colder, a lot nastier, a lot more slimey than I imagined. I’ve been properly Beano’d now!”
Kate was joined at the event by a host of other celebrities, including
Helen Lederer, Reece Shearsmith, Donna Air, Angela Griffith, Iain Lee and Amanda Lamb, which was held to celebrate the iconic British comic launching an all-new website Beano.com and app.
The new digital Beano experience is inspired by the comical and mischievous roots of the 78-year old comic book and its famous characters such as Dennis The Menace and Gnasher, Minnie the Minx and Roger the Dodger.
Beano’s new digital Ultimate Feed of Awesome – which is available for free – is jam-packed with original videos, along with the best bits of YouTube, games, pics, quizzes and interactive fun to help imaginations run riot and keep kids giggling for hours. It will be updated daily and is available on Apple and Android devices, YouTube and Popjame – an Instagram-style app for children.
Among the videos available are the Beano Originals, including brand new cartoons like The Invention of Football (by dinosaurs) and jokes delivered by the Little Squelchies.
Beano.com has also been designed to protect kids as there’s no messaging functionality, no collection of personal information without parental say so, and no sharing of marketing data with third parties.
The weekly Beano comic – published by DC Thomson – is still on sale with a new design as well as yearly Beano Annual, which is still the UK’s bestseller.
Boss of Beano Studios Emma Scott said: “We’ve spent the last three months blue sky thinking in a thought shower, touching base, singing from the same hymn sheet and pushing the envelope… until we realised that was boring nonsense, and we just needed really funny stuff!”
A new TV series ‘Dennis and Gnasher – Unleashed!’ is also coming soon to screens.

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt LeBlanc has reportedly signed a £2million deal with ‘Top Gear’.
The 49-year-old presenter – who joined the motoring show last year as a sidekick for Chris Evans – has been in talks with the BBC since his one-series contract expired in June but bosses have now given in to his wild pay demands after they lost the ‘Great British Bake Off’ to Channel 4.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “‘…Bake Off’ going to Channel 4 was a disaster and a real blow. Losing Matt because of a few diary arrangements would have spun ‘Top Gear’ into crisis yet again…
“In the end they just wanted to sign up Matt as he’s great with the fans and gives the show stability as it’s due to start filming within days.”
BBC TV Controller Charlotte Moore, 48, was initially hoping to persuade Paul Hollywood – who has judged on ‘GBBO’ since 2010 – to join ‘Top Gear’ after the baking programme was nabbed by the rival broadcaster earlier this month but has now decided that the former ‘Friends’ star should front it alone for the next two series.
The insider explained: “Charlotte looks like she has really aged in the last couple of weeks and had even offered Paul Hollywood a role on ‘Top Gear’ to try and get him to stay [with the BBC].”
Matt will now take over from Chris, who quit the show in July after he came under fire for a series of live-on-air blunders, as he carries out celebrity interviews and is helped out by Eddie Jordan, Sabine Schmitz, and motoring journalists Chris Harris, and Rory Reid.
However, the BBC haven’t just parted with a lump sum of money in order to keep the actor as they’ve also agreed to work around his work schedule as he’s currently filming the sitcom ‘Man With a Plan’.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ryan Thomas has a new girlfriend.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ hunk – who was known for playing handsome builder Jason Grimshaw in the soap – only split from his partner Lana Martin last week, but it seems he’s wasting no time getting back on the dating scene as he has already been spotted getting cosy with someone else.
The 32-year-old actor set tongues wagging last week when he was seen getting intimate with Topshop worker Brea Taddei at the launch of new hangover cure, HangDr.
A source told The Sun newspaper: ‘It’s still early days but Ryan and Brea have been on a handful of dates and are really fond of each other.
“He relocated to London after leaving ‘Corrie’ which isn’t ideal for their relationship but he’s regularly in Manchester to see his daughter Scarlett so they are making it work.
“His friends are quite surprised he has moved on from Lana so quickly but he gets on so well with Brea that it’s all just happened very naturally, if a bit suddenly.”
And Ryan’s new relationship will no doubt come as a shock to his ex-girlfriend Lana, whom he dated for several months, as he dumped her because he couldn’t deal with the distance.
A source said recently: “Ryan and Lana really tried hard to find time for each other, but they both lead busy lives and became more and more distanced from each other – literally.
“It’s a shame but it’s totally amicable. Lana was there to help him adjust to life after ‘Corrie’. He’ll always be grateful for that.”
Ryan previously dated his former co-star Tina O’Brien and they have seven-year-old daughter Scarlett together.

OHMYGOSSIP — The cast of ‘Coronation Street’ have been banned from talking about Marc Anwar’s tweets.
The Pakistani-born actor, who played Sharif Nazir on the ITV soap, took to Twitter to call Indians “b*****ds” and “p**s-drinking *****” in a tirade that led him to get sacked from the programme.
Now, bosses of the show are taking no chances when it comes to a further fall out, as they’ve put the whole crew “on lock down” and prevented them from talking about the controversial outburst.
A source told MirrorOnline: “The whole crew have been gagged and put on lock down after the racist tweets scandal.”
The actor – who has since deleted his Twitter account entirely – expressed his opinions in a foul-mouthed rant after 17 soldiers were killed at an army base in Kashmir, sparking a UN clash between India and Pakistan.
He tweeted: “Why the F***k do #pakistaniartists want work in #f*** face #india, do you love money so much.
“Ban #india movies in #PakistanisLeaveIndia. B*****ds p**s drinking #*****.
“F***ing #indians killing our #Kashmir brothers and sisters, beygairth #NawazSharif still sucking #modi Lul! (sic)”
In a statement released by ITV at the time, they announced the actor would not be returning to the cobbles “with immediate effect”.
The statement 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.”
And the sacking of Marc hasn’t come without consequences, as the writers of the show are now left with the task of wrapping up his storyline and writing him out of the show.
A show source said: “Sharif’s storyline is at a particularly pivotal moment right now. He’s a few months ahead but it’s still going to be a headache for bosses to write him out now he’s gone for good. That said, the show does not tolerate racism, whatever the context.
“They had to act quickly to avoid any controversy affecting the show and this is a small price to pay. They just feel deeply frustrated that he had to air his feelings so publicly.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Carol Vorderman is being lined up to appear on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The 55-year-old former ‘Countdown’ star is in talks with ITV bosses and is expected to be offered a six-figure sum to take part in the tough reality show later this year, and see her as the “brains” of the camp, as well as drawing in male viewers with her “sex appeal”.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: “She is well-known and still carries a lot of sex appeal.
“ITV chiefs are also hoping that she will be the brains of the camp. She’s a TV legend and they’re prepared to splash the cash to land her.”
As well as Carol, other names in the frame for this year’s show include former footballer Robbie Savage, actress Helen Lederer and model Lisa Snowdon.
Bosses were said to be particularly thrilled by signing Lisa – who previously dated George Clooney – up for the contest.
A source said recently: “Lisa is a great signing for us. She will certainly look great in a bikini in that jungle shower. She’s very much an action girl and she will have plenty of stories to tell.”
‘Red Dwarf’ actor Craig Charles is also rumoured to be returning to the programme.
He previously spent four days in the jungle two years ago but his stint was cut short after his brother Dean tragically died from a heart attack.
A source said recently: “The producers are eager to get Craig back in the jungle after he had to sadly leave so early on in the run two years ago because of his brother’s death. He was a popular camp mate in the short time he was in and bosses know he would have been a great contestant if he’d stayed on the show.
“They know that he was enjoying getting into camp life but sadly, due to circumstances beyond his control, he was forced to leave and go home to his family. They wanted to get him back on the show last year but he was already committed to filming new episodes of ‘Red Dwarf.’ ”
And the former ‘Coronation Street’ star may not be the only previous contestant to make a return to the outback as Spencer Matthews is also in the rumoured line up.
The ‘Made in Chelsea’ hunk joined the show last year but was forced to leave just a few days into his stint after producers found out he was taking steroids.

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Walsh brought a girl band back on the ‘X Factor’, only to ditch them seconds later.
The 64-year-old judge left his boss Simon Cowell and the audience at Wembley Arena reeling after he gave Girl Next Door the boot for the second time at the Six Chair Challenge.
In scenes aired on Sunday night’s (25.09.16) show, Louis initially turned down the girl group – which includes Saskia, Brit, Katie and Annabel – after they failed to impress him with their cover of One Direction’s ‘Drag Me Down’.
However, Simon felt he had made a huge mistake and urged the audience to chant for Louis to bring them back.
The music manager also faced a backlash from the crowd and fellow judge Sharon Osbourne when he opted to send Ottavio and Bradley home.
The pop duo – who famously argued over raw chicken at their first audition – had their seat nicked by boy band Yes Lad, only to steal it back minutes later.
After much thought and changing his mind again and again, Louis finalised his line-up for Judges’ Houses, choosing to send through 5AM, Skarl3t, The Brooks, Ottavio and Bradley, Tom and Laura and Four of Diamonds.
Elsewhere on the show, Sharon picked her final six contestants for the Overs category.
Pub landlady Samantha Atkinson kicked off proceedings, singing a beautiful version of ‘Run to You’ by Whitney Houston.
Speaking before her performance, she said: “The first performing in front of the audience is daunting. When you are used to doing karaoke in front of 20 people it’s ok. My heart is pumping.
“At bootcamp I made some brilliant friends. Me, James and Rebekah have been like a team. But this is where it gets fierce and we are against each other. How amazing if we all got a seat?”
Her close pal James Wilson managed to secure a seat too whilst Rebekah Ryan missed out after being dubbed too “desperate”.
Rebekah admitted: “I just couldn’t keep it together.”
Relley C, Christopher Peyton, Janet Grogan and Ivy Grace Paredes completed Sharon’s final six.
‘The X Factor’ continues next weekend.
