OHMYGOSSIP — Roxy and Ronnie Mitchell are to be killed off during the ‘EastEnders’ New Year’s Eve special.
Actresses Rita Simons, 39, (Roxy) and Sam Womack, 43, (Ronnie) are said to be upset by the news because they’d hoped the door would be left open for them to return, while the other cast members are reported to have complained that they have not been consulted.
A source explained: “Everyone’s in shock. The cast are really upset as it’s come out of the blue.”
The planned exits of Roxy and Ronnie have been instigated by new producer Sean O’Connor, who also recently killed off characters Margaret Midhurst and Paul Coker.
The source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “People are worried who’s going to be next. The script for Roxy and Ronnie’s deaths has been written, but none of the actors know what’s going to happen.”
Meanwhile, a spokesperson for the BBC has refused to comment on future plans, saying he does not wish to ruin the surprise element for fans of the show.
He said: “We know how much our audience hate to have any future storylines spoilt so we will not comment on speculative stories.
“At no point have we received any concerns from cast about any of our future storylines.”
Roxy and Ronnie first joined the programme in 2007, when they were introduced as the cousins of Phil and Grant Mitchell.

OHMYGOSSIP — Daisy Lowe is confident she won’t fall victim to the ‘Strictly’ curse.
The curvaceous model recently started dating male model and actor Bradley ‘Frankie’ Wade and Daisy is convinced she won’t be swapping her new man for Slovenian hunk Aljaz Skorjanec, her dance partner on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 27-year-old beauty shared: “Frankie and I have been dating for just over a month, and it’s going well. He’s fit, really fit from the inside out.
“I made a sneaky video of him the other day making me pancakes at home while topless, and it’s hard to imagine that getting much better.
“I posted the video on Snapchat with a big pink heart around it, though he’ll kill me for saying that.
“Of course I’ve been asked about the ‘Strictly’ curse, but there’s no chance.”
Daisy is full of praise for her new dance partner – but pointed out that Aljaz, 26, is madly in love with his fiancée, ‘Strictly’ dancer Janette Manrara.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “I love Aljaz with all my heart, even after a month, because he is the most gorgeous, warm, kind-hearted human being. But it’s totally platonic.
“He is like my brother. And he and Janette are so in love, they are gorgeous and engaged, and we all have so much fun together.
“Frankie loves Aljaz and he is really supportive, which is lovely.
“Whenever the curse is mentioned, I’m so happy I met him before we started.”
Despite being a world-famous model, Daisy has admitted to feeling very nervous before her debut appearance on ‘Strictly’.
She shared: “I was having a right panic. Having Aljaz has eased the pressure since then, because he is so calm and patient.
“But you do go through so many stages of panic, sheer terror and bone-shaking fear.
“I’d love to stay as long as humanly possible, so I’m going to cling on for dear life, but there are so many incredible people in this year’s cast. It really feels like a family.
“We’ve got a WhatsApp group and everyone’s like, ‘I feel sick, I’m tired, this happened, I’m crying at rehearsals.’
“But when things go better, they all message, ‘We love you’ and send sweaty selfies.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Coronation Street’ actor Marc Anwar has reportedly been sacked over a series of offensive tweets.
The Pakistan-born actor, who plays the part of Sharif Nazir on the ITV soap, called Indians “b*****ds” and “p**s-drinking c***s” in a foul-mouthed tirade, which has led to his sacking from the programme.
ITV said in a statement: “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 broadcaster was reportedly alerted to the offensive posts by the Sunday Mirror newspaper and the actor was apparently dismissed from his role on the show within a matter of hours.
The 45-year-old actor also referred to Indians as killers and suggested people from Pakistan should refuse to work in the neighbouring country.
He wrote: “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 — Mary Berry reportedly told ‘Great British Bake Off’ bosses she only planned to stay on the show for “another year or so” – regardless of which channel broadcasts the programme.
The 81-year-old TV star recently announced her intention to stay with the BBC rather than following the show to its new home of Channel 4, but Mary apparently told executives at Love Productions, who own the show, that she would not be making any long-term commitments before they sold it to Channel 4.
A source told the Sunday People newspaper: “Mary loves the show, but she had made it clear she wouldn’t be able to give any long-term commitments.
“Two years from now, she does not expect to be working at the rate she is currently – and the production team were aware of this.”
Despite Mary recently reaffirming her commitment to the BBC, the ‘Bake Off’ star is only interested in short-term projects with the broadcaster.
Meanwhile, Paul Hollywood is the only member of the original ‘Bake Off’ line up who is following the show to Channel 4.
However, the 50-year-old presenter is reportedly upset by accusations of greed over his decision.
A source close to Paul said: “I know Paul’s been affected by the way some people have criticised him since he said he would stay loyal to the show.
“Some of the criticism has been very personal – when all he’s trying to do is stay in the job he loves. He’s a working guy trying to do what he does best. Is it disloyal to want to carry on with the job you love?
“Paul didn’t ‘follow the dough’ – he followed his passion. Can you blame him if he’s finally also going to get paid a decent reward for something that he’s one of the best at in the world?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Daisy Lowe has topped the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ leaderboard for the first week.
The 27-year-old model and professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec scored 32 points for their waltz, which was described by head judge Len Goodman as the best dance he’d ever seen in week one of the contest.
Awarding them a nine, he said: “I was looking for a daisy and I found an English rose.
“I don’t think I’ve seen a dance better than that for week one, ever.”
Darcy Bussell agreed and said: “You instantly set the romantic feel to the atmosphere, it sent shivers down my back.”
Bruno Tonioli added: “You are dazzling, it had the radiant quality of old school glamour. You made it look very easy.”
However, Craig Revel Horwood wasn’t as convinced and admitted: “I found it a bit sickly sweet, over the top but you danced it beautifully.”
Elsewhere on the show, politician Ed Balls and his partner Katya Jones failed to impress, scoring just 21 points to take the bottom slot on the leader board, two behind Friday (23.09.16) night’s lowest-scoring contestant Lesley Joseph.
Danny Mac and Louise Redknapp tied for second place with 31, one point ahead of bookies’ favourite Will Young, who picked up a respectable 30.
Also dancing on Saturday’s (24.09.16) show were olympic gymnast Claudia Fragipane and actress Tameka Empson, who were both awarded 26 by the judges and singer Anastacia, who got 28.
None of the 15 couples who danced on Friday and Saturday will be eliminated this week.

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell took Soheila Clifford, Kayleigh Marie Morgan, Caitlyn Vanbeck, Gifty Louise, Emily Middlemas and Olivia Garcia through to the Judges Houses stage of ‘The X Factor’ on Saturday (24.09.16).
The music mogul told his six finalists they will be off to Malibu following an intense six-chair challenge at the SSE Arena in Wembley, London, that saw 10 out of the 11 remaining performers in the category invited to take a seat at varying stages of the contest.
Sohelia bagged the first chair, and was quickly joined by Kayleigh Marie, before Luena Martinez earned the third seat with her “heart, determination and talent.”
Faye Horne then made it through, but after Caitlyn took the final seat, Faye lost her space to Jordina Miller – who then gave up her place to make room for Emily.
Samantha Lavery was also invited into Simon’s finalist group but lost her seat to Gifty, much to Nicole Scherzinger’s outrage.
Olivia was the final performer to sing, and took Luena’s space at Judges’ Houses.
Eleventh hopeful Ellie Rose was rejected outright.
Simon told her: “I like you but I think you are capable of better than that. Ellie, I’m not going to give you a chair.”
Meanwhile, Nicole opted to take James Hughes, Niall Sexton, Matt Terry, Freddy Parker, Nate Simpson, and Christian Burrows through to France for her Judges’ Houses after witnessing the boys’ performances on Saturday’s show.
Mike Hough had landed the first seat, but only after his mentor made him sing twice, with James and Niall taking the second and third spots.
Connor McGinty got the fourth seat, and was quickly followed over by Matt and Luca Valenti.
Freddy then got Connor’s chair,while Mike was forced to vacate after Nate gave what Simon described as the best performance of the night.
Christian’s impressive performance saw Nicole order a sing off between him and Matt, before she eventually made Luca give up his seat so she could take Christian through.
Will Rush wasn’t offered a seat after singing one of his own compositions.
Nicole told him: “I respect you, you’re a songwriter, you know what you want to do.
“I’ve made my decision, I’m sorry, it’s not going to be enough.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Vicky Pattison is “buzzing” for her ‘I’m A Celebrity’ return.
Vicky – who was crowned Queen of the Jungle on the show last year last year -will join Joe Swash, Stacey Solomon and Chris Ramsey on the new spin-off ‘I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp’ and cannot wait to get back to the jungle.
She told The Sun: “Winning the jungle last year was the most incredible experience of my life.
“I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to my jungle experience just yet and luckily, after getting my dream job, I don’t have to.”
Vicky had been the hot favourite to take over as host since Laura Whitmore, who fronted the spin-off for five years, quit as presenter a few months ago.
A source previously said: “Vicky made no secret of the fact that she would love to replace Laura. But while she was always the front- runner, ITV took their time with the decision.
“It’s only very recently that they have said they want her.”
The foursome will head Down Under later this year to host the newly named ‘I’m A Celebrity: Extra Camp’ as they’re joined by famous guests and dish the dirt on the stars fighting for survival in the jungle.
Joe – who has presented the original spin-off ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! NOW!’ since 2009 – said of the new line up: “‘I’m A Celebrity…’ is always my most favourite time of the year.
“I cannot wait to be back at my second home with a new gang of people. As always I’m sure this series will be the best one yet.”
And this year will no doubt be one to remember as the former ‘EastEnders’ star will be joined on the panel by his girlfriend Stacey, whom he’s been dating since early January.
And they’ve both got plenty of experience when it comes to jungle life as Joe won the show in 2008, while Stacey took the title in 2010.
Chris, on the other hand, has never stepped foot in the jungle before and is thrilled bosses have decided to put him on the spin-off rather than the main show where he’ll have to take part in gruelling trials.

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Knowles has ruled out a romance with Gemma Oaten in order to focus on his marriage.
The 53-year-old presenter split from his wife Jessica, 28, in January but says the pair have become close again while co-parenting their two-year-old son Eddie.
He told the Daily Mirror: “Gemma and I are not dating. We went on a date. The nature of my work means it’s very difficult to go on a date without everybody making a much bigger deal of it.
“She’s a lovely girl but I’m not in a place at the moment where I am looking to date anybody.
“I have a relationship with Jessica and we are best friends. We are working through things.
“We treat our relationship and parenting as the most important thing in our lives.
“We’ve had a really difficult year, but through all of the difficulties Jessica stayed my best friend and we’re still deeply close.”
Nick’s comments come after he and former ‘Emmerdale’ star Gemma were spotted cuddling outside the TV Choice Awards bash at London’s Dorchester hotel earlier this month.
Gemma, 32, rested her head on Nick’s chest as they looked at his phone, while the pair were also spotted smoking cigarettes together and chatting in the street.
Speaking previously about her split from Nick, Jessica said: “If Nick met someone and was happy, I’d be happy. I have so much respect and time for him.”
What’s more, Jessica – who revealed in July she had cervical cancer – credited Nick with saving her life after he made her visit her doctor.
She said, too, that despite their split, Nick has remained a supportive influence in her life.
Jessica shared: “He’s still there for me but it’s hard. I’m really sad we split.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Geri Horner is being lined up to host ‘Great British Bake Off’.
Hosts Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc recently announced they would no longer front the show after Channel 4 bought the rights to the series as part of a mega deal and Geri has been tipped to replace them.
A source told The Sun: “Geri is a bit of a curveball idea, but an intriguing one all the same.
“She has always been a huge supporter of ‘Bake Off’ but bosses face a tough ask to get her on board.
“She’s got relatively little presenting experience and has big music commitments.
“But it’s the only show that might tempt her to host.”
Geri appeared on the Sport Relief special of the show in February.
Meanwhile, Paul Hollywood has signed a three-year deal with the ‘Great British Bake Off’.
The 50-year-old star will appear as a judge on the cooking show for at least another three series after he penned a contract with bosses at Channel 4 for a mystery lump sum.
Jay Hunt, Chief Creative Officer of Channel 4, said: “Paul really is the star baker – an exceptional talent with a twinkle in his eye. His wit, warmth and wisdom are vital ingredients in ‘…Bake Off’s success. I’m so delighted he’s coming to Channel 4.”
Richard McKerrow, Creative Director of Love Productions – the creators of the show – said: “We are delighted to confirm that Paul is coming with the tent ready to encourage, inspire and raise the occasional, quizzical eyebrow. Paul’s presence will ensure the culture of ‘…Bake Off’ continues in the tent as it makes its move to Channel 4.”
The announcement that Paul has decided to stay on ‘GBBO’ when it moves from the BBC – which has screened the show since 2010 – to its rival Channel 4 came just minutes after his co-judge Mary Berry decided to turn her back on the series out of “loyalty” to the BBC.
Mary, 81, said: “My decision to stay with the BBC is out of loyalty to them, as they have nurtured me, and the show, that was a unique and brilliant format from day one.
“What a privilege and honour it has been to be part of seven years of magic in a tent. I am just sad for the audience who may not be ready for change.”
The future of the programme has been hanging in the balance since it was revealed Channel 4 had bought the rights to the show for an estimated £75 million last week.
