OHMYGOSSIP — Daniel O’Donnell wants a role in ‘Coronation Street’.
The 61-year-old crooner is a huge fan of the ITV soap and would love to walk the famous cobbles, even if it was just a cameo role, and he’d be equally happy playing either himself or a new character.
He told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “Going on ‘Coronation Street’ is a pipe dream.
“I would take a cameo. I’ve always watched Coronation Street and it is my favourite soap on the TV. I’ve met Charlie Lawson (who played Jim McDonald).
“I’ve met a few of the ‘Coronation Street’ and I went a couple of times to the set in Manchester.
“I would take any role – as a singer or a cameo – it doesn’t really matter to me.”
While Daniel has yet to be offered a role on ‘Corrie’, perhaps he could get involved in an open mic night at the Rovers Return, which was previously suggested by series producer Iain MacLeod after Bob Dylan revealed himself to be a fan of the soap.
Ian told the Daily Telegraph newspaper last December: “To hear that Bob Dylan is a Coronation Street viewer blows my mind.
“I would absolutely love the idea of him turning up in the Rovers Return one night.
“Maybe we could write in an open mic night and a mysterious singer could roll in out of the Manchester rain and do a turn.
“I think Ken would certainly be a fan. Rita is also no stranger to a musical number, so perhaps a duet could be on the cards.
“Both he and ‘Coronation Street’ established their reputations in the 1960s, both have championed working-class voices and causes, both tell stories with a particular sensibility and sense of humour.”
Iain’s comments came after Bob admitted he loves to binge ‘Coronation Street’, and he also enjoys watching ‘Father Brown’, a series about a fictional Roman Catholic priest and amateur detective.
He said: “I recently binged: ‘Coronation Street’, ‘Father Brown’ and some early ‘Twilight Zones’. (sic)”
Bob – who was born in Minnesota, US – admits the programmes make him feel “at home”, and he much prefers to watch the likes of ‘Corrie’ and ‘Father Brown’, which features ‘Harry Potter’ star Mark Williams as the titular character, than tune into “foul-smelling or evil” shows.
He added to The Wall Street Journal newspaper: “I know they’re old-fashioned, but they make me feel at home.
“I’m no fan of packaged programs or news shows. I never watch anything foul-smelling or evil. Nothing disgusting, nothing dog a**.”

Stephen and his partner Daniel Lustig recently confirmed their exit from ‘Gogglebox’ explaining they had decided to bow out so they could pursue other opportunities.
In a joint statement posted on Instagram, the couple explained: “We feel like the time is right to move on and explore new opportunities. We would both like to thank Channel 4 and Studio Lambert for letting us be part of this amazing, funny and heartwarming show.
“We are also extremely thankful to the cast and crew, our ‘Gogglebox’ family as we call them and of course the fans, thank you for all your love and support over the years.”
Production company Studio Lambert and Channel 4 added in a statement: “After a brilliant and illustrious time on Gogglebox, Stephen and Daniel have decided that now is the right time to explore life beyond the sofa and leave the show.
“As one of the original Goggleboxers, Stephen has entertained the nation with his hilarious quips since the show first started in 2013, sharing his opinions on the best and biggest TV events of the last 10 years.
“We would like to thank him and Daniel for being utterly brilliant contributors to the show, and we wish them well with their future projects.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jason Fox is a married man after tying the knot with his girlfriend Jules Hawkins.
The ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’ star has revealed he exchanged vows with his longtime partner at an intimate ceremony in London with the ceremony taking place at Old Marylebone Town Hall ahead of a reception at La Goccia Italian restaurant in Covent Garden.
Jason, 47, confirmed the happy news in a post on Instagram, writing: “It’s official! The knot has been tied and I’m a lucky man! What a day! Big up all our guests and @lagocciacoventgarden more spam to follow.”
The groom wore a green suit and documentary-maker Jules wore a white mini-dress with feather trim.
After posting his wedding news on Instagram, the couple were flooded with messages of congratulations from friends including the TV personality’s ‘Who Dares Wins’ co-star Rudy Reyes.
Rudy wrote: “Brother these are Fantastic … So proud to know U n The Missus. U make My life better for it. To many amazing adventures ahead My Man.”
It’s Jason’s third trip down the aisle. His second marriage was to Lucy Culkin in 2011 and they welcomed a daughter named Honor a year later before splitting. He’s also believed to have another daughter from his first marriage.
Jason has previously admitted his time in the military – and the years he spent adjusting to civilian life afterwards – took a toll on his mental health and his relationships.
He told Ladbible.com: “I’ve got two marriages that have gone down the pan – I like to attribute it to the military life but then I look at the common denominator which is me … It’s probably because I’m a nightmare to live with.”
Jason added he’s determined to life in the moment instead of worrying about the past. He said: “I don’t worry about what’s happened and I don’t worry about what’s coming. I think about what’s coming, and I plan but I’m not governed and don’t think something has to go a certain way because if it doesn’t you’ll freak out, now I’m like ‘well that would be great if that happened, but if it doesn’t happen we’ll just roll with the punches'”

Please, please let me do it. You won’t regret it.’ And by his grace, I’m now doing it, and I’m really, really, really, really, really, really, really grateful.”
Bobby has always loved dancing and he’s determined to impress the judges and the TV viewers.

Asked if he’s actually any good at dancing, Bobby replied: “People do actually say that I’ve got a little bit of rhythm.
“People can tell that I’m having a good time while I’m doing it. When you see someone doing something they enjoy, it’s attractive. Maybe I’m dancing in a mad, crazy way, but just feeling the music.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Hancock pushed himself to his “limits” on ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’.
The 44-year-old politician filmed the show in the jungles of north Vietnam and admits that it was one of the most challenging experiences of his life.
Matt told The Sun newspaper: “I wanted to do it to test my limits.
“I’d just come through a pretty tough period being the health secretary in the pandemic and I wanted to push my limits in terms of resilience and physically. ‘Hit me in the face’.
“I took the attitude that you must absolutely throw yourself at what’s in front of you.
“You can’t hide your personality. There’s nothing to hide behind. So I wanted people to see that.
“People had seen me in the pandemic in a particular box and in a particular way, and had a view, and I’d rather people saw the real me.”
Matt – who served as the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care during the COVID-19 pandemic – admits that the experience really changed him.
The challenge also prompted Matt to reconsider his political career.
Matt – who got trench foot during his time in the jungle – shared: “I left behind some of the shackles of political life through the course.
“Having been in a highly controlled media environment in government, you’re really clear about the message you’re trying to put across, and having been trained in message discipline, there are big downsides to that that I don’t like.
“So going on ‘SAS’ was just being me. I think I said at one point, I still remember saying it because it felt so true, I went in as a politician and I came out as a human being.
“It’s safe to say the course tested my resilience.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Maura Higgins thinks she’s a “bit old” to return to ‘Love Island’.
The 32-year-old beauty appeared on the show back in 2019 and although she’s been tipped to appear on a ‘Love Island: All Stars’ series, Maura insists she isn’t keen on the idea.
The brunette beauty told her Instagram followers: “I’m never going to go back on to ‘Love Island’. Like, not because I didn’t enjoy myself, it was such an incredible experience, it changed my life, it gave me the platform I have today … but I feel like I’ve done it once and I think once is enough and I’m a bit old for that.”
Maura is happy with where she’s currently at in her career.
Despite this, Maura can understand why some of her former co-stars might be tempted to return to the show.
She said: “I’m not going to go back on the show. I feel like I’m really enjoying what I’m doing … I just don’t really want to go backwards, I want to look forward.
“Like, I’m not saying anything bad about people that would do it again but like each to their own – but yeah, just not me.”
‘Love Island: All Stars’ is set to air next year and Mike Spencer, the boss of ‘Love Island’s production company, Lifted Entertainment, has already described the show as “a must-watch series”.
He recently said: “It has been rumoured now for a while but we are thrilled to finally confirm that we are making Love Island: All Stars early next year for ITV2 and ITVX.
“It’s set to be a must-watch series seeing some of your favourite Islanders from across the years heading back to the stunning South African villa to once again ‘graft’ as their search for love continues. I simply can’t wait.”

OHMYGOSSIP — The Time Team is investigating the Durotriges tribe to learn more about how the Iron Age and the transition to Roman Britain.
The site was put forward by Time Team’s own Dr Derek Pitman and Dr Lawrence Shaw. Working together with Harry Manley of Bournemouth University, a single test trench uncovered over 1,000 years of history, bridging the transition between the two eras.
During the Iron Age, some 2,000 years ago, the area was home to the Durotriges tribe, and this site offers excellent opportunities to investigate how they lived and died. Early evidence indicates industrial activity, several phases of settlement and even burials – an extremely rare find for this period in British history.
The site is a stone’s throw from Poole’s ancient industrial harbour at Green Island – the subject of a previous investigation by Time Team, almost 20 years ago.
This new excavation seeks to explore possible links between the harbour, and this site, which sits just inland in a strategic position within the landscape.
Dr Pitman said: “As a Dorset boy, I’m thrilled to welcome Time Team to my turf, for what looks to be an incredible weekend. I’ve honestly never seen so much archaeology in a single trench before, and we think this is just the tip of something much bigger. We’re in for a treat!”
The excavation coincides with the 30th anniversary of filming Time Team’s first episode, back in 1993, which aired the following year.
Time Team’s creator and Series Producer Tim Taylor said: “We couldn’t hope for a better site to celebrate three decades of Time Team. I still can’t believe it’s been that long, but here’s to the next 30 years!”
The British archaeology programme originally aired on Channel 4 from 1994 to September 2014 and was presented by ‘Blackadder’ star Sir Tony Robinson and each episode featured a team of specialists carrying out an archaeological dig over a period of three days.
The show has been revived online on YouTube and the Patreon subscription platform.
For the upcoming dig – which takes place this weekend (September 15 to September 17) – many familiar faces are returning, including presenter Dr Gus Casely-Hayford, Prof Carenza Lewis, Dr John Gater, Prof Stewart Ainsworth and Dr Helen Geake. Guests for the weekend include old Time Team friends Dr Philippa Walton and Dr Miles Russell.
Throughout the investigation subscribers to Patreon will enjoy exclusive daily updates direct from the site via ‘Dig Watch’. These include site tours, question and answer sessions with the team and production insights from the crew. The completed episode will premiere worldwide on YouTube at a later date.
Taylor said: “It’s thanks to our wonderful Patreon members across the globe that Time Team can investigate fascinating sites like this. I can’t wait to see what comes up in Dig Watch!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Fletcher felt “nervous” about the return of ‘Neighbours’.
The 66-year-old actor – who has starred as Dr Karl Kennedy since 1994 – is thrilled that the long-running soap is making its much-anticipated return, but Alan has also confessed to feeling quite anxious about the comeback.
He told Sky News: “Everywhere you go in the UK, people just want to talk ‘Neighbours’, talk excitement levels about ‘Neighbours’ coming back. It’s quite a phenomenon.
“In the script there’s been a two-year break, so the writing team have very cleverly been able to craft a story that teases out what happens in those two years.”
The show was axed in 2022, only to be revived a few months later amid a clamour from fans.
Alan is aware that the cast and crew are now under pressure to deliver something good.
He shared: “I was quite nervous going back because, you know, ‘Neighbours’ was kind of like wearing old clothes for most of us – a very familiar work environment, you go to work, you know everybody, it was very relaxed and we had a great time making our TV show. Coming back, the stakes are suddenly way up here because the show has been saved and we really needed to pay homage to that.”
Alan has teased details of the show’s comeback, promising that it’ll feature some “delicious comedy”.
He said: “There’s some delicious comedy to come. We’ve got wonderful returnees like Harold coming in to be a guest character. We’ve got these fabulous new characters as well.
“So there’s a lot going on … and it has been revealed that there’s something going on with [Karl’s wife] Susan, some sort of secret she’s holding on to. And that plays out really interestingly. It’s a bit of a shock to Karl.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Angela Rippon has become an ambassador for Carers Trust.
The 78-year-old newsreader is a long-time supporter of the charity – which strives to ensure that unpaid carers are heard and valued – and Angela has even spoken about her own experience of caring for her mother Edna, who suffered from vascular dementia.
Angela – who is currently competing on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ – said in a statement: “It is such a privilege to become an ambassador for Carers Trust. Through my work with the dementia community, I know what an incredibly vital role all carers perform for their loved ones.
“But too often that work and loving commitment goes unrecognised and unrewarded. Working alongside the marvellous team at the trust, I hope I can not only further the work of the trust itself, but also champion the thousands of carers who deserve our respect and support.”
John McLean, the chair of Carers Trust, is thrilled that the veteran TV presenter has accepted the role.
He said: “Over the years, Angela has been an exceptionally committed advocate for Carers Trust.
“Unpaid carers are facing huge challenges and our research shows those problems are continuing to grow, from the devastating impact caring has on their finances to the toll on their own health and wellbeing.
“As a passionate carer for her mother, Angela brings great experience and insight of these issues. Everyone at Carers Trust, including our network of local carer organisations which provide advice and support across the UK, is looking forward to working even more closely with her in our aim to secure a better deal for unpaid carers.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Molly-Mae Hague’s sex drive went “through the roof” during her pregnancy.
The 24-year-old beauty – who has daughter Bambi, seven months, with boxer Tommy Fury – has revealed that her sex drive went sky-high as she prepared for the arrival of her first child.
During a conversation with her sister Zoe on YouTube, Molly-Mae shared: “When I was pregnant, my sex drive was through the roof.”
Asked if that was really the case, the ‘Love Island’ star replied: “Yeah, literally like through the roof.”
By contrast, Tommy found the scenario to be “a bit strange” and “uncomfortable”.
Molly-Mae said: “Tommy’s wasn’t – when I was pregnant he found it a bit strange. And that’s fine, some men do.
“Some men are really into it or some partners will be … Tommy found it quite uncomfortable, the thought that Bambi was in there and I was here. It was just a bit weird.”
In August, meanwhile, Molly-Mae revealed that she feared she would “never feel happy again” after giving birth.
The TV star also admitted that she’s struggled to adjust to the demands of motherhood.
She shared on her YouTube channel: “I came across a video which literally nearly made me cry. I was home alone with Bambi and she was only a couple weeks old. She was literally screaming and crying, she had colic.
“I was trying to start vlogging again and I was really trying to rush myself back to chatting to you guys and being back present for you guys. I was just desperate to not fall off.
“I think seeing that little video clip made me really reflect on how ridiculously far I’ve come and how genuinely, as weird as it sounds, I wasn’t sure I was ever going to feel happy again. That’s how hard I found the first few weeks.”
