“With the greatest of thanks and love, Charlotte Diego.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Oti Mabuse is pregnant.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star and Marius Iepure are expecting their first child together and Oti made the announcement live on air during ITV’s ‘Oti Mabuse’s Breakfast Show’ on Saturday (26.08.23).
Oti, 33, was joined on the show by her 40-year-old dancer husband as he guided guests Marisha Wallace and Chizzy Akudolu through a dance routine before they announced they had been “holding in some good news”.
Oti said: “Speaking of things that you didn’t know at home, we have a little something for all of you, we’ve been holding some good news. We’re having a baby!”
Oti and Marius met in Germany during a dance trial and competed together in several competitions.
They tied the knot in 2014 and he moved to the UK with her when she was offered ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
Speaking previously to the Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine, she said: “I realise how lucky I was. Marius moved to England for me. He had to make many sacrifices for me, and he had his own goals.
“He’d be working in Iceland, Romania, Canada, but he would get back to spend the days I had off with me. Sometimes he would only be able to get back for a few hours, but he’d come to Blackpool just so he could cuddle me before a show.
“Whatever I want, Marius helps me get it. He helps me remember why I’m doing what I’m doing. He’ll say, ‘Think of where you started out. Think of how far you’ve come.’ He’s my biggest cheerleader.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tamzin Outhwaite drew on the “pain and loss” from her own life while filming ‘The Tower’.
The 52-year-old actress has joined the gritty drama for its second series as recovering drug addict Cathy Teel and Tamzin says she used painful episodes from her own life to help her connect with her character.
She told The Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine: “There were emotional scenes that required me to go to places I don’t normally go to, but I could draw on my own life.
“I’ve had a lot of pain and endured a lot of loss, and with the human emotions involved in this drama I felt like my own life was the research.”
Tamzin’s trauma include her mother dying suddenly a few years ago and the public breakdown of her marriage to Tom Ellis in 2013.
Speaking about working on ‘The Tower’, she added: “One day I couldn’t understand why my body was aching, then I remembered that the previous day I’d slid down a wall and sobbed many times reacting to awful news. Basically my body was traumatised.”
And, co-star Tahirah Sharif, could relate to the domestic violence scenes.
She said: “Pretty much the same thing was happening next door to me.
“The dad was domestically violent in the way this guy is in The Tower. The woman didn’t want to press charges against her partner and it made me realise that it’s never quite as simple as it seems.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Molly-Mae Hague feared she would “never feel happy again” after giving birth.
The 24-year-old ‘Love Island’ star welcomed her first child Bambi with fiancé Tommy Fury, also 24, seven months ago and revealed that adjusting to motherhood has been a struggle.
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.”
However, Molly-Mae reassured her fans that it does get easier and said she is happier than ever now after finally finding her feet.
She said: “I’d say only now am I really experiencing what I believed motherhood would look like and Bambi’s nearly seven months old.
“I don’t want to sound like a broken record as you know I have spoken about motherhood a lot and how I found it a lot harder than I thought I would but I just want to say to those others mums out there that have that young, newborn screaming baby and you’re finding it really, really hard.
“I know I’ve said it so many times but I just want to reiterate it, I promise you it gets so much easier.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alan Titchmarsh is “not the type” to do reality TV.
The 74-year-old presenter is best known for fronting shows like ‘Ground Force’ and ‘Love Your Garden’ but admitted that he has turned down the chance to compete on ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ and ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ a number of times because he would rather be “doing something” practical on screen.
He told The Sunday Express S Magazine: “‘Strictly’ asked me again this year for the sixth time. My wife [Alison] taught dance and she said my knees won’t take the lifts and I think she’s quite right. So I stay clear of that one.
“I was asked to do ‘I’m A Celebrity’ last year and I turned that one down for about the third time, too. That’s not my bag, I’m not a reality TV type. I like to be doing something, like presenting, rather than people assassinating me for the fluff in my navel. I worry about the damage to the wildlife on that show!”
The former chat show host went on to add that he finds fronting ‘Love Your Garden’ – which sees him and David Domoney, Katie Rushworth and Frances Tophill help people transform their outdoor spaces – “difficult” because they have to think about what is best for the participants but admitted he has found “three very good mates” in his co-hosts.
He said: “I always find ‘Love Your Garden’ difficult. We always think about what would make the person who owns the garden happiest? What would suit them best so we can give them a piece of heaven? We work closely together so we absolutely care about one another – all four of us. We’ve been in it together from the beginning. We work together, we have supper in the evening together, and we’ve always made it our business to get on with one another. I’ve made three very good mates.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jackiey Budden thinks Bobby Brazier was “born to bring” Jade Goody back.
The 20-year-old actor is the son of the late ‘Big Brother’ legend Jade – who died in 2009 at the age of 27 following a battle with cervical cancer – and her former partner Jeff Brazier, and now Jade’s mum Jackiey, 66, is looking forward to seeing her grandson on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ because it will be like watching her daughter all over again.
She told The Sun: “I was only allowed to talk about it when I saw it in The Sun. But I’m over the moon and he’s just stepped in his mum’s shoes — he’s in Jade’s trotters. He’s been born to bring Jade back as himself, because he’s the spit of Jade — he’s got his daddy’s head. It will be like watching her on telly.”
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star went on to add that Bobby is just like his ‘EastEnders’ character Freddie Slater and landed his part in the soap opera after asking her for advice, meaning that she ended up tuning into the BBC flagship for the first time in decades.
She said: “He has to get up at 5am for EastEnders sometimes, so he’s always on the go. We always text though which is lovely. He likes to keep an eye on his nana, just like Freddie does. He’d been doing his modelling for some time and he said, ‘Nan, do you think I can be an actor?’ I said, ‘I dunno, your mum did all that’. So I said, ‘Ring your agent’ and four days later he was in ‘EastEnders’.
“How mad is that? I hadn’t watched it for 40 years. I don’t miss an episode now.”
Bobby will join the likes of ‘Casualty’ star Nigel Harman, former ‘Coronation Street’ actress Ellie Leach as well as TV legend Les Dennis amongst a host of others on the Saturday night favorite and admitted upon the official announcement that he was “so excited” to be hitting the dancefloor when the competition returns to screens in September.
He said: “I’m so excited to be part of the ‘Strictly’ line up, I can’t wait to start training like a professional dancer and adding a few moves to my locker. I’m looking forward to performing in front of everyone, it’s going to be so much fun!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Catherine Tyldesley has cancelled her 40th birthday bash.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ star had hired NVRLAND to organise her upcoming milestone birthday in September but was “blindsided” by the scandal known as Cakegate – which had seen the party-planning company ask the Three Little Birds Bakery in West Yokrshire to take payment “in the form of promotion” – but an insider has claimed that she has now decided to have a “quieter celebration” after the story went viral on social media.
A source told The Daily Mirror on Sunday newspaper: “Cath was blindsided by Cakegate and found the whole thing very upsetting so she’s decided on a quieter celebration. She doesn’t blame NVRLND, but the whole situation left a sour taste so she felt it best to call it off.”
The initial email claimed that the “well-known celebrity” was throwing the party on September 1 – which is actually the birthday of her husband Tom Pitfeild – so she needed an extra cake for her husband as well as 100 small ones but Catherine took to social media soon after the email went viral to deny having any knowledge of the order whatsoever, nor the supposed promotional deal with OK! Magazine.
Speaking in a video posted to Instagram, she she said: “Cake gate?! What? So, I had no idea those emails were being sent. I’m not working with the lovely OK! Magazine on anything that I am aware of. NVRLND are an amazing company, they’ve supplied with me performers in the past. ”
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ contestant – who has Alfie, seven, and Iris, 16 months, with Tom – went on to claim that the party planners had been “completely misrepresented” in the furor and signed off by telling manager Rebecca Severs that she “hoped” she got some publicity for her business as she sarcastically thanked her for causing the press to arrive at her house.
She added: “They’re insane and they’ve been completely misrepresented in this matter. Utterly bizarre, I don’t really know what to say. I mean, I hope the cake lady got the exposure she was craving, whilst I’ve got journalists knocking on my front door whilst my kids are playing in the front room. Dead nice, that, babes, thanks for coming!”
In her initial response email – which has been shared thousands of times on Facebook – Rebecca joked that she was “sorry” to hear that the celebrity client “had fallen on hard times” but claimed that she could not pay her mortgage with social media promotion.
She wrote: “I’m so sorry to hear that your client has fallen on such hard times they can’t afford to pay small businesses their products. Unfortunately as my mortgage provider doesn’t take payment “in the form of promotion on their socials, and my staff can’t feed their kids with exposure on Instagram, I’ll have to decline your very generous offer.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Vicky Pattison was “pushed” to make guests cry on ‘Loose Women’.
The 35-year-old reality star was a panellist on the ITV lunchtime chat show in 2016 and claimed that during interview segments, producers would speak to her through her earpiece to encourage her to “push” guests on the verge of tears but refused to do so, although she has heard that things are done differently these days.
She is quoted by The Sunday People as saying: “I used to do ‘Loose Women’.. I remember getting voices in my ear saying: ‘She’s about to cry, push her on this…’ “Like when we were interviewing people and I just remember – if you ever see a clip of me on Loose Women, I bet you I’m shaking my head. “Because I’m physically like: ‘There’s no way I’m doing that, no way I’m doing that’. I’ve heard the team has absolutely changed behind the scenes.”
Meanwhile, a source has claimed that the ‘Geordie Shore’ legend – who has appeared as a guest on the show numerous times both before and after her stint as a regular panellist – remains a “huge fan” of ‘Loose Women’ and the management team has always offered a “safe space” for her to come into.
The insider said: “Vicky has always been a huge fan of ‘Loose Women’ and loves the whole ‘Loose Women’ family. She has been a guest many times and has loved each and every appearance on the show.
“They consistently offer a very welcoming and safe space for her.”
Vicky joined the chat show following her victory on 2015’s ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ and served alongside long-time panellists like journalist Jane Moore, former ‘EastEnders’ actress Nadia Sawalha and singer Coleen Nolan but admitted upon quitting the series after just nine months that she felt “inadequate” sitting at the desk.
She told Bella Magazine: “Being offered the show was a huge achievement. Everyone’s so lovely, so professional, with a wealth of experience. It just highlighted my lack of experience and naivety. A lot of the topics they discussed on the show – marriage, divorce, hardcore feminism, kids – loads of housewives and women can relate to that, but I found myself coming up short quite a lot.
“I’m not going to do something I’m not good at. I felt inadequate, and I don’t want to feel like that. I want to give it 110 per cent. I’d love to go back, but at the moment, I’m happy as it is.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ head judge Shirley Ballas insists even stars with previous dance experience will find the Latin and ballroom routines challenging.
There was a backlash after it was revealed that this year’s contestant, Angela Scanlon, 39, has a job in dance across the pond and trained at O’Shea Irish Dance Company.
Actor Layton Williams, 28, has also danced in West End musicals, including ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’ and ‘Billy Elliot’ and is a skilled ballet dancer.
Shirley told The Mirror: “If somebody goes to stage school for singing and acting, there’s always normally a little bit of dance included.”
The former Latin champion, 62, defended the pair partaking in the BBC One celebrity dance competition, explaining how it can vary from other forms of dance.
She added: “If you take a jazz dancer, they dance on their own, they do their thing, unless they’re in a group.
“You take ballroom dancing, you really have to learn to dance with a partner – that’s four arms, four legs, two heads, two quarters… you’ve got to be intertwined and working together.”
After it was revealed that she had joined the show, Angela insisted she has “never” danced ballroom in her life.
She said: “I’ve never done any of these dances in my life, bar a drunken jive at a family wedding. So, it certainly feels like there is room to learn and to really push myself.
“Look, I’m not particularly fit. I’ve no idea how my pelvic floor is going to react to that level of jumping.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Joel Dommett will be replaced by a stand-in host at the National Television Awards if his wife Hannah Cooper goes into labour.
The couple are expecting their first child together and the baby’s due date falls uncomfortably close to the NTAs ceremony which Joel is due to host at the O2 Arena in London on September 5 – so show bosses have come up with a plan to make sure the glitzy event isn’t left without a presenter if Joel has to make a dash to hospital.
Joel told The Sun newspaper: “There is a contingency. They won’t tell me who the contingency is but the best thing is everybody is there – every presenter going.
“What I would do is just give a section to everyone – you know, just get Stephen Mulhern to do one, Holly Willoughby to do the next bit, get Bradley Walsh on  … ”
The current plan is for Hannah to attend the show to watch Joel perform his hosting duties, but the presenter is adamant they will be taking her hospital bag with them just in case.
He explained: “My wife is very pregnant … but there is a seat for Hannah at the O2 and we’ll just hope she is still there at the end of the evening. We’ll almost certainly take our hospital bag along, just in case.”
It comes after Joel admitted he’s feeling nervous about hosting the show even though it’s his third time doing it.
returning to host the National Television Awards this year for the third time and he tries to calm his nerves by reminding himself how silly it all is. He told He told The Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine: “I find it helpful to try to think of how ridiculous this job is: wearing a white tuxedo and handing out awards. It’s a privilege. It’s fun. It brings joy. But it’s also ridiculous. So don’t take yourself too seriously. “I try to simplify the situation. It’s easy to think, ‘Oh God, there’s 15,000 people here. There’s Ant and Dec and Ricky Gervais and Michael McIntyre in the front row looking at me.’ “It gets so crowded in your head it’s impossible to do the job, which is literally to just read. You’ve got a script and you’ve read it hundreds of times before.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Maura Higgins has signed up with Christine Quinn’s publicist in a bid to boost her profile in the United States.
The 32-year-old former ‘Love Island’ star is eager to secure more work in the US after landing a role as social media host for ‘Love Island USA’ and she has turned to former ‘Selling Sunset’ star Christine’s team to help her.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “Maura continues to make waves across the pond as the digital host for ‘Love Island USA’ and it’s come with huge demand and work opportunities Stateside.
“Maura is keen to follow in Christine’s footsteps by conquering the fashion world as well as becoming a regular face on US TV.
“Maura’s management from the UK were spotted taking meetings with American television executives and brands in Los Angeles earlier this year.
“Expanding Maura’s team is part of a carefully drawn out global strategy.”
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that ‘Love Island’ bosses want to shake things up with the new All Stars series.
The ITV dating show will return this winter to the villa in Cape Town, South Africa with a host of fan favourite Islanders from previous series, and producers are keen to do all they can to get people tuning in.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “‘Love Island’ bosses want to make sure they’re out of the ratings slump when winter rolls around for All Stars.
“They are working out ways to give the show a real kick and to make the format have a lasting impact on viewers.
“At the moment it’s all just an open discussion and there are lots of ideas being put forward.”
While the idea of having “old rivals” clashing once more, bosses are keen to embrace the chaos with “some fresh faces”.
The source added: “Naturally, there is potential for old rivals to have it out on screen and to put old love triangles back into play.
“But some fresh faces could bring a twist. Will old hands stick with who they coupled up with before, for maximum impact, or risk everything for someone they actually fancy?
“It would really test out that argument that people now just use Love Island for fame.”
