OHMYGOSSIP — Karen Hauer will never stop dancing – even if she has “two broken knees”.
The 41-year-old star was forced out of the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ final last year after suffering a serious knee injury, but Karen has now recovered from her injury and is already looking forward to the new series of the BBC show.
She told The Sun newspaper: “It really shocked me and really shook me up. With my knee injury I had a lot of physio and had a lot of digging to do.
“My knee is really good now, it’s just my back now.
“It took me out for two months and that for me was catastrophic.
“It was one of the scariest things that I’ve ever had to go through and the one thing that I didn’t want to get was surgery.
“Having that injury and not being able to be on the dancefloor, I took it as a reset.”
Karen is very aware of the threat posed by injuries. However, the ‘Strictly’ star insists nothing will stop her from dancing.
She shared: “Not that I live in that fear but it’s always in the back of my head.
“But I would never retire from dancing – if I have two broken knees I would still go on the dancefloor.”
Karen has made a successful recovery from her knee injury and is now looking forward to the new series of ‘Strictly’.
She said: “I am super excited to be returning – it will be my 12th year, I am the longest running female.
“I have no idea how that happened, it’s really incredible and I feel really lucky and grateful that they always ask me back which is nice, it’s my favourite time of the year.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Baga Chipz dreams of joining the ‘Coronation Street’ cast.
The 33-year-old drag queen – who is best known for starring on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ – has revealed that she’d “love” to appear on the long-running soap.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: “If I could do any show in the world it would be ‘Coronation Street’, I would love to do it.
“They’ve got a drag queen in ‘EastEnders’. I’d be really northern and just come out the car with my heels and take a drag of a cigarette.
“I’d be like the proper rough guy who does drag at night and work behind the bar with my wig on sometimes. I’d love to do that.”
The TV star has previously bragged about her “great Deirdre Barlow impression”.
What’s more, she also revealed that her dream is to become a soap star one day, joking that she’s ideally suited to ‘Coronation Street’ because she’s “a northern trollop and common as muck”.
Speaking to the Daily Star newspaper in 2019, she explained: “I love Corrie and I am always saying, ‘I’d love to get on it.’ I hope they’re watching me. I do impressions of some of the characters on ‘Drag Race’. I’d be ideal. After all, I’m a northern trollop and common as muck.
“Watch out Ken! I’d actually rather be on ‘Corrie’ than in Hollywood. If Lady Gaga and Madonna were in one corner and Fiz and Tyrone in the other, I’d be with Fiz and Tyrone. Let me be the new Queen of Corrie.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Paige Turley and Finley Tapp are “still good friends”.
The 25-year-old TV star has admitted that herself and Finn, 23, simply “drifted apart” after they met each other on ‘Love Island’.
During an appearance on ‘Love Island: After Sun’, she shared: “We’re still really good friends. I think we drifted apart.”
Paige explained that their romance came under pressure amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
She said: “We did lockdown together and any and every struggle we could have faced we were faced with.”
Despite this, Paige would hate to see her ex-boyfriend re-enter the ‘Love Island’ villa.
The blonde beauty – who dated pop star Lewis Capaldi, before entering the villa herself – told Maya Jama: “If he goes in there he will be in trouble – we’re not having an Adam Collard bombshell again.”
By contrast, Paige previously suggested that their romance actually benefited from lockdown.
The reality star explained that lockdown gave them the opportunity to spend some quality time together.
Paige – who was with Finley for three years – told MailOnline: “COVID helped us because we got to spend that time together without being pulled from pillar to post. We had a mad three weeks when we came out before lockdown and the quality time that you spend with each other is quite limited.”
Paige also suggested that she learned an important life lesson through her lockdown experience.
The TV star – who is currently single – said: “I think a good bit of advice is to try and make sure everything that is happening around you doesn’t affect you getting that quality time with whoever you come out with.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Myleene Klass “loved every minute” of wearing her bikini on ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’.
The 45-year-old TV star famously wore a white string bikini during her first appearance on the show back in 2006, and Myleene feels proud that she was able to recreate the moment during her recent stint in the South African jungle.
She told The Sun newspaper: “I loved every minute of it being in there and wearing the white bikini and the two aren’t usually exclusive – you can still wear a white bikini and enjoy being a woman.”
Myleene’s original white bikini was actually auctioned for £7,500.
Asked if she plans to put her new white bikini on eBay, Myleene replied: “That one is staying with me – I lost the first one.”
Meanwhile, Myleene is now looking forward to hosting Jeremy Vine’s current-affairs show on Channel 5.
The musician has been hired as Jeremy’s temporary replacement, and she’s feeling excited about the opportunity.
She said: “I’m going to be the official host as of the 26th, so it’s going to really ramp up, I’m really excited.
“I think it wasn’t something I had necessarily anticipated but what’s actually happened is you become a mum and then you become more aware of what’s going on in the world and what needs to be done.
“You realise it’s going to take a mum to change it – I’m going to start with this miscarriage bill, so of course I’m more politically incentivised now, I’m waiting for Maria Caulfield to take a meeting with me.
“I will take on the MPs who don’t serve the people who they were voted to serve.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jonnie Irwin hasn’t told his kids about his cancer diagnosis.
The 49-year-old TV star was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer in 2020, but Jonnie has made a concerted effort to shelter his kids from the news.
Jonnie – who has Rex, four, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac with his wife Jessica Holmes – told Hello! magazine: “I keep being asked, ‘Are you going to tell them?’ but tell them what? It would be horrible news that they’d have to get their heads around. And it would confuse the hell out of Rex – he’s got a shocking enough day coming. Let’s bury our heads in the sand for as long as possible.”
Jonnie loves the challenge of fatherhood and he’s determined that his children won’t struggle like he had to during his younger years.
He said: “I encourage the kids, I’m positive about them and give them cuddles. I’ve started to tell Rex in private conversations, ‘You can do anything’. He’s bright, he’s talented, and comes home from nursery knowing more French than I do.
“I had a tough upbringing. And I’ve managed to do a lot in my life, despite that, but I don’t want them to struggle. I want them to have the confidence of a public school boy, but also be streetwise lads. They’re happy kids, they laugh, and are a lot of fun to have around.”
Meanwhile, Jonnie recently admitted he’s very “thankful” that he’s been able to spend quality time with his family over recent months.
The TV presenter told the ‘OneChat’ podcast: “I’ve been home more than ever before and I’m lucky to have seen every bit of their upbringing, and see how they change. That makes me very proud. And I’m kind of thankful for that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Hagan has found motherhood to be the “hardest” job in the world.
The ex-‘Geordie Shore’ star has confessed to being struck by “anxiety and blues” after she gave birth to her son, Alpha-Jax, earlier this month.
The 30-year-old TV star wrote on Instagram: “I broke down as we went to bed for the first time with him as I was just so overwhelmed. A million “what ifs” running through my head…
“A mix of anxiety and the baby blues which hit me hard for the first few nights. I felt homesick that’s the only way I can really describe it! Those feelings soon passed and 11 days in now feeling so much less anxiety! (sic)”
Holly has experienced “the odd breakdown” since giving birth to her baby boy. However, the reality star is also loving her experience of motherhood.
Her Instagram post continued: “Still having the odd breakdown every n then with the lack of sleep but I honestly wouldn’t change it, I love being his mam so much. I never understood when people said it’s the hardest but best job in the world… but I get it now. (sic)”
Charlotte Crosby subsequently replied to her former ‘Geordie Shore’ co-star, telling Holly that she feels very “proud” of her.
The 33-year-old TV star – who gave birth to her daughter Alba Jean in October – wrote: “Holly words can’t describe how seeing you as a mother makes me feel! Your nailing mama life I couldn’t be more proud of watching you on this journey. I adore alpha jax and i bursting to come and see him. (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Molly Marsh has been reduced to tears on the latest episode of ‘Love Island’.
The 24-year-old reality star was overcome with emotion after Mitchel Taylor called time on their romance and revealed that he planned to get to know some of the other Islanders.
After hearing that Molly also planned to keep her options open, Mitchel told her: “I don’t want to give you the energy I think you deserve, when you’re not going to give me any reciprocation back. I’d rather let you do your thing.
“No one compares to you right now. I’m still gonna adore you, I still think you’re great … I don’t wanna cuddle and all that stuff anymore, I wanna sit back and I want you to explore your options.”
Later in the show, Molly started flirting with Sammy Root.
Molly told him: “I feel like I know you.”
In response, Sammy said: “Maybe we met in a past life, when you were a seagull and I was a chip!”
Molly previously revealed that she couldn’t wait to enter the ‘Love Island’ villa.
The influencer – who is the daughter of actress Janet Marsh – said: “With my job being in social media, I’ve had some amazing opportunities to go on press trips and I’ve actually been out to the ‘Love Island’ villas in Mallorca and South Africa.
“Having the experience to walk around both was amazing, but to now actually live in the villa is going to be incredible.”
What’s more, Molly described the show as the “perfect way to find someone”.
She added: “I don’t go out and party and I don’t use dating apps, I’m actually quite old-fashioned, so there’s no better way to meet someone than by going into a villa in the sun with the potential ‘one’ in there.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Martin Compston has admitted working with the ‘Line of Duty’ cast again is just a matter of “timing”.
The 39-year-old actor is keen to reunite with co-stars Adrian Dunbar and Vicky McClure and while he hasn’t offered any details on a return for the BBC police corruption drama – which ended with its sixth season almost two years ago – he is hopeful.
He told The Sun newspaper: “We’d all love to work together again but we’re all doing different stuff.
“We’re all running around. It’s just timing, and to get to the same point.”
When it comes to the huge love fans have for the show – and their desire for more – Martin is delighted to see that passion.
He added: “It’s testament to what we created that everybody is still desperate for more. I love that people ask about it. The day people stop, it’ll be a sad day.”
Following ‘Soccer Aid’ this weekend, Martin is set to shoot the second season of Amazon Prime Video’s ‘The Rig’, and he would then potentially be free to reprise his role as DS Steve Arnott.
However, Vicky – who plays DI Kate Fleming – will soon be filming another series of ITV drama ‘Trigger Point’, while Adrian (Ted Hastings) could be back for more ‘Ridley’.
Martin explained: “[Creator Jed Mercurio] never stops writing, Vicky’s putting bombs out, Aidan’s a singing detective, I’m off on an oil rig.
“The truth is, we’ve not signed on for anything at the moment. There’s just nothing at the minute. That does not mean it won’t happen.
Just at this point, I genuinely don’t know. But we’ve always taken ­time off. Probably if this happened 20 years ago, I’d have been more like, ‘Oh, I need to get away from it’. You need to do something else. It’s the thing I’m most known for and I’m incredibly proud of it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Davina McCall is hosting new dating show ‘My Mum, Your Dad’.
The 55-year-old presenter’s upcoming ITV show – which was previously known by the working title ‘Romance Retreat’ and has been described as a “middle-aged” ‘Love Island’ – has been given a new name and will air later this year with single parents from across the UK being nominated by their grown-up children, who will be watching their every move from The Bunker.
Davina said in a statement: “Thank goodness the secret is finally out! I’ve been bursting to tell!!!
“I’m so so excited to host My Mum, Your Dad – this show will have you so invested in the people in it.
“Fascinating, vibrant individuals who have lived incredible lives already, with a million life lessons under their belts, as they search for their perfect life partner.
“But also with the juiciest twist of any show I’ve ever worked on.”
Paul Mortimer – the channel’s Director of Reality and Acquisitions – added: “‘My Mum, Your Dad’ is set to be a relationship show with a difference, as we follow the emotional and inspiring journeys of single parents looking to find love once more.
“Packed full of heart and humour, we’re really excited to be bringing this brand new format to ITV1’s mainstream audience.
“With Davina at the helm, this will be a grown-up iteration of a series in the dating genre that, thus far, has largely been the preserve of younger viewers.”
Throughout the series – made up of 10 hour-long episodes – ITV has promised “the kids will see their parents in a whole new light”, and they will have a say in who their parents get matched up with.
The show comes from Lifted Entertainment – who were behind the 2015 ‘Love Island’ relaunch – and they are excited by the new project.
Managing Director Richard Cowles said: “At Lifted, we revolutionised the dating format with ‘Love Island’, but dating isn’t just about young people.
“We can’t wait to launch this new dating format in the UK, this time with a very different cast of singles.
“They may come from a different age bracket but they share the same, simple aim, to fall in love. And for single parents the stakes are even higher.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Oti and Motsi Mabuse have reportedly signed up to host new show ‘Every Family Dance Now’.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ sisters are said to “love working together” and they are keen for the pilot they have filmed to be commissioned for a full series.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper’s Hot TV column: “Oti and Motsi are really hoping the show becomes a big hit because they love working together.”
The programme pits groups of relatives against each other in a series of dancing challenges.
Motsi, 42, and Oti, 32, rose to fame on ‘Strictly’ after their childhood spent living in South Africa and later worked in Germany competing on the dance circuit.
Motsi – who still appears on the show as a judge while her sister is no longer a professional dancer on the show – recently revealed she struggles to understand northern accents despite speaking five languages and gets fellow judge Craig Revel-Horwood to “translate” for some contestants.
She told Ed Gamble, 37, and James Acaster, 38, on their ‘Off Menu’ podcast: “The thing is, you [Britons] all speak differently. Every time I’m in the country I really have to concentrate. Some people I just don’t know … I’m just like, ‘Are we speaking the same language?’ There’s a lot of accents here.
“I really struggle with people that come from the North. I’m like, can you please translate at this point? It’s so strong, I just don’t understand, really. I’m being honest…
“But there have been quite a few people from the north, so I’m always asking Craig. I’m just trying to understand … but it’s not easy.”
Motsi – who still lives in Germany, where she works on their version of the contest – admitted that sometimes she finds it hard with her own accent.
She added: “It’s happened quite a few time. Plus I have that South African accent, so it’s a mess. It’s a complete mess.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ross Kemp is “delighted” ‘Bridge of Lies is returning.
The ex ‘EastEnders’ star is “overwhelmed” at the show’s popularity and will be back for another season of the BBC game show that sees contestants answer questions correctly to cross a bridge of stepping stones to a jackpot.
The 58-year-old soap star said: “I’m overwhelmed at the response we’ve had from audiences for this show. It’s great for all the family to get involved in, both in the day and on Saturday evenings.
“Hosting ‘Bridge of Lies’, with all its jeopardy, tension and hilarious moments, is one of the most enjoyable parts of my year, so I’m delighted it’s been recommissioned by the BBC and can’t wait to get back filming in Glasgow.”
Gary Chippington, the creative director of entertainment at STV Studios, added: “We are so proud of this show. It’s gone from strength to strength and we were delighted by the reaction to the latest series and celebrity specials from audiences and critics alike.
“Our wonderful host, Ross Kemp, plays a huge part in the show’s success, and we’re looking forward to being back in the Glasgow studio with him, some brilliant new contestants and our fantastic production team later this year.”
A special celebrity edition was commissioned and aired with featured competitors like ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ winner Lawrence Chaney.
Kalpna Patel-Knight, the boss of BBC Light Entertainment Commissioning, said: “‘Bridge of Lies’ was a big hit with Daytime audiences, so to bring it back for a third series and commission another primetime version is very exciting.
“I’m really looking forward to seeing our next batch of competitive celebrities deal with the pressure of the bridge and the pressure of being in the funny and formidable company of Ross, our superb host.”
