OHMYGOSSIP — Maya Jama could end up being chatted up by ‘Love Island’ contestant Andre Furtado.
The 21-year-old business owner from Dudley said the show host is one of his dream women as he thinks she’s “amazing” and may target her once he’s in the villa on the ITV2 dating series.
He told the Daily Star: “Maya is absolutely stunning, she is the top of the top eye candy – amazing.
“I might give a chat up line or two, just a little. Because she is a very attractive woman inside and out.”
Andre added before heading onto the show, which starts on Monday (05.06.23) at 9pm, his ideal date scenario is taking a woman strawberry picking as part of a grand romantic plan.
He said: “I would love to go strawberry picking, I’d want to have a field spelt out in her name, then I’d have to ask her to be my girlfriend.
“So I’d like to plant a field full of strawberries.”
This summer’s ‘Love Island’ contestants include semi-pro footballer Tyrique Hyde, 24, from Essex, who – like former contestant Tasha Amber Ghouri, 24 – is deaf, with the sportsman lacking hearing in one ear.
He has marked his disability with a tattoo, and said ahead of going into the villa: “I’m deaf in my right ear. I’ve got a tattoo next to my left one that symbolises strength and power in my good one.”
Doncaster-born actress and social media creator Molly Marsh, 21, whose mum Janet has had parts in a series of soaps, is also part of the line-up.
Beautician Ruchee Gurung, 24, from Sutton, Bedford-born business development executive George Fensom, 24, as well as Catherine Agbaje, 22, a commercial real estate agent from Dublin, were also announced as among the first entrants into the villa this year.
French model Mehdi Edno, 26, is being tipped to the be this season’s Davide Sanclimenti, and Glaswegian model Ella Thomas, 23, has also signed up.
Their names were released on 29 May after Maya revealed on ‘Good Morning Britain’ viewers will choose who couples with who for the first time in the history of ‘Love Island’.
‘Love Island’ will air from 9pm on 5 June on ITV2 and ITVX.
On Saturday nights ITV2 will air a highlights show instead of the usual episode.

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby said “we gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth” as she returned to ‘This Morning’ amid the fallout from Phillip Schofield’s shock exit from the show.
The host, 42, was back co-fronting the ITV breakfast series on Monday (05.06.23) for the first time since 61-year-old Phillip’s departure on 26 May after it was revealed he had an affair with a much younger male colleague.
Holly added in a brief and emotional opening statement she felt “shaken, troubled, let down and worried”, adding it “feels very strange indeed” to be back on the show without him, before saying its team had “gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth”.
She said it was “equally hard to see the toll” the scandal has taken on Phillip, along with how it had affected others.
Holly added: “I hope that as we start this new chapter and get back to a place of warmth and magic… we can find hope in each other.
“We will continue to work hard every day to bring you the show that we love.”
She was hugged by her co-presenter for the day Josie Gibson, 38, who added they were working on keeping the show a “family”, with tearful Holly then concluding: “Exactly”, before the show got down to business as usual.
Holly was photographed arriving separately at the Television Centre in White City, London, ahead of her comeback episode.
Her return to presenting duties along with Gibson was confirmed at the end of Friday’s show, which was hosted by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
Phillip told last week he fears he will be spat on in the street if he leaves his house amid the fallout from his affair, which happened while he was still married.
He told The Sun: “I do not know a time I will be able to walk out of the door.
“I don’t have any spirit. My friends tell me, ‘It will get better’. It won’t. Not now. Not this one.
“You watch all these layers of you slide away and slide away and slide away. The things that were dear to you.
“But I deserve it. It’s my fault. I deserve it.”
Phillip said he had never previously suffered abuse on the street, but asked about the prospect of being hit with it if he goes outside: “Are they spitting on me because I had an affair at work and lied about it?”
He added he was being supported by his daughters Molly, 30, and Ruby, 27, who he had with his wife of 30 years Stephanie Lowe years before he publicly came out as gay on ‘This Morning’ in February 2020.
Phillip also gave an interview with the BBC on Thursday (01.06.23) in which he insisted he had not groomed his lover, who he first got in contact with when he was aged 15.

(01.06.23)
He said about his fears of going outside in the wake of news of his affair emerging: “I do not know a time I will be able to walk out of the door.
“I don’t have any spirit. My friends tell me, ‘It will get better’. It won’t. Not now. Not this one.
“You watch all these layers of you slide away and slide away and slide away. The things that were dear to you.
“But I deserve it. It’s my fault. I deserve it.”
Phillip said he had never previously suffered abuse on the street, but asked about the prospect of being hit with it if he goes outside: “Are they spitting on me because I had an affair at work and lied about it?”
He added he was being supported by his daughters Molly, 30, and Ruby, 27, who he had with his wife of 30 years Stephanie Lowe years before he publicly came out as gay on ‘This Morning’ in February 2020.

OHMYGOSSIP — Phillip Schofield will “forever be associated” with Queuegate.
The 61-year-old star – who sensationally quit his long-running role as host on ‘This Morning’ after 21 years last week before admitting that he had had an extramarital affair with a younger male colleague – was thought to have jumped the queue to see the Queen lying-in-state last September along with former co-host Holly Willoughby and while he admitted it was a “bad thing” to do, explained that it “doesn’t matter now” because he isn’t planning to go out anymore amid the scandal.
He told The Sun newspaper: “So we are forever now (associated)… it doesn’t matter now because I’m not going to go out any more … but forever now, you go to the butchers and someone says, ‘Oh do you want to (skip ahead)…?’ ‘No, no, I’ll stand here.’ I’m serious. I don’t ever throw anyone under the bus, but I have a very good instinct for these things and I knew it was a bad thing to do. But there is no reason that the justification that was given to me, shouldn’t have been true.
“You are journalists, loosely, and you are covering a massive story. Therefore I want you to cover it. As indeed, 700 other journalists did exactly the same thing.
“There was no jumping of the queue. We went and spoke to everyone in the queue. We went out and met everyone in the queue then walked all the way around the building, and went into the press centre with your accreditation.
“That got messed up because the production team didn’t want to give either of our emails out, so they used work emails which obviously didn’t match up with who we are.”
The former ‘Dancing on Ice’ host went on to question why it was himself and Holly who were “singled out” as alleged queue jumpers as he recalled that he and Holly were “shell-shocked” by the reaction.
He added: “My face (says it all) – ‘we shouldn’t be here’. It didn’t feel right. What was sad was it wrecked what I wanted to do on the day. I wanted to go and stand at the end of my road and watch her go past as she went down to Windsor. Within seconds there was the photo of the two of us. Why us? Why not all of the other people? Why single us out?
“We were texting each other backwards and forwards afterwards. I said to Holly, ‘I knew I should have gone with my gut,’ and she said, ‘I know’. What are the two things you don’t screw up? The Queen and a queue.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Phillip Schofield no longer speaks to Holly Willoughby.
The 61-year-old star had fronted ‘This Morning’ with Holly, 41, for 14 years when he sensationally quit the ITV daytime show amid rumours of a feud before revealing that he had had an extramarital affair with a younger male colleague and insisted that his former co-star had no knowledge of the fling as he claimed that it is the media “witch hunt” that has torn their friendship apart.
He told The Sun newspaper: “I’ve lost my best friend. I let her down (Holly). I let that entire show down. I let the viewers down. Holly did not know (about the romance). And she was one of the first texts that I sent, to say, ‘I am so, so sorry that I lied to you’. She didn’t reply and I understand why she didn’t reply, as well. So yeah. If anyone is in any way linking Holly to this; that is ­absolutely, wholly untrue. I had no feud with Holly. She is my TV sister. But quite rightly, when I am in the middle of a s**t show with bad press over something where I have done nothing wrong — in fact, I did everything right — it’s a witch hunt. And that strips that (friendship) away.”
Phil – who also hosted ‘Dancing on Ice’ with Holly for a number of years but quit the broadcaster altogether following the revelations – went on to add that he “understands” his former co-star’s decision to take a break away from the show as he lambasted the situation as “vicious game” that was becoming “bigger” than the show itself.
He added: “Quite rightly, she is going to take a step back and think, ‘I have to step back from this’, and I understand that completely.
“As we see now, this is a vicious game and the last thing you want is for something to stick on you.
“It was becoming bigger than the people we had on the show. I understand that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Anne Hegerty is “not very good” with her football knowledge.
The 64-year-old quizzer is known as The Governess on the hit ITV1 teatime game show ‘The Chase’ and possesses a wide range of knowledge on a variety of topics but admitted as she revealed that the game show is to air a Soccer Aid special with celebrities that she doesn’t particularly follow the sport, unlike her co-stars.
Speaking on ITV1’s ‘Good Morning Britain’, she said: “We are going to be doing a Soccer Aid special in a week’s time, on the 9 June. We have Dermot O’Leary and three people who I didn’t actually recognise. I don’t do football. I’m not really very good at football. I don’t really do trivia, I’m the only chaser who doesn’t really have her own football team. Everyone else they know exactly who they follow and I just don’t. I can’t give too much away [about the special] but let’s just say there is a lot of money involved!”
Outside of ‘The Chase’, the former ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ star – who will also face footballer Kyle Walker, sports broadcaster Lynsey Hipgrave and ‘The Last Leg’ host Alex Brooker in the upcoming charity special- has become a regular face in pantomime season and even teased that a role in a potential sitcom penned by the quiz show’s scriptwriter Adam Bostock-Smith could be on the cards.
She said: “I like doing a bit of acting, I’ve been doing panto since 2014 and I’m going to be in panto again this Christmas in Chesterfield at the Winding Wheel Theatre doing ‘Aladdin’ so that’s good. The show is called ‘Gammon’ and the idea is it is these two gammony middle-aged brothers getting up to hijinks and I am the housekeeper, I am the only sane person on the show and it currently exists as one script and five outlines and if some production company or network, call us. Obviously!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Phillip Schofield has been left feeling suicidal since “losing everything” amid his ‘This Morning’ exit.
The 61-year-old star – who has daughters Molly, 30, and 27-year-old Ruby with estranged wife Stephanie Lowe – sensationally quit the ITV1 daytime magazine show after 21 years last week shortly before he admitted to having an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague and insisted that his daughters are the only reason he is still alive as he compared his intense media scrutiny to that of former ‘Love Island’ host Caroline Flack, who took her own life in 2020 at the age of 40.
Speaking in his first television appearance since quitting ‘This Morning’, he told the BBC: “I have brought myself down. I am done. I have to talk about television in the past tense which breaks my heart. But it continues and it is relentless and it is day after day after day after day and if you do that, then don’t think that is going to have the most catastrophic effect on someone’s mind…do you want me to die? Because that’s where I am. I have lost everything.
“My girls saved my life. They said last week…they hadn’t left me for a moment, they’d been by my side every moment because they’re scared to let me out of their sight. What is that like for daughters to have to go through something like that? And they said to me ‘Don’t you dare do this on our watch, we’re supposed to be looking after you!’ And if my girls hadn’t been there, I wouldn’t be here because I don’t see a future. And so how much do you want a man to take, and are you truly only happy when he’s dead? This is how Caroline Flack felt. ”
The former ‘Dancing on Ice’ host went on to acknowledge that he had “done wrong” in starting up the affair – which he alleges began in his dressing room when the colleague was 20 years old – but slammed the coverage of the story as “constant” and has been unable to look at
“I know I’ve done something wrong and I’ve owned up to doing something wrong but it’s constant. A mate was texting me saying ‘What is the agenda? When is this going to stop?’ Someone said I was being treated like Jack the Ripper. But I haven’t looked at a single thing, that would be the final push. I haven’t looked like a newspaper item, I’ve deleted all the apps. But people have said ‘Can’t believe you’re being painted out to be this person.We know you, we love you. Please love the person we know you are.’ But still, it comes. It is utterly relentless.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Phillip Schofield feels like a “victim of hate” amid his affair scandal.
The 61-year-old star has daughters Molly, 30, and 27-year-old Ruby with now-estranged wife Stephanie Lowe but came out as gay in February 2020 and after quitting his long-running role as host on ‘This Morning’ last week, confirmed that he had had an “unwise but not illegal” sexual relationship with a younger male colleague but now feels as if he has been the target of “non-factual gossip.”
Speaking in his first televised interview since he quit ITV, he told the BBC: “I spoke to my therapist about this because I had a wonderful marriage, have a wonderful marriage. Not brilliant right now, but [I have] an incredibly supportive wife with two beautiful children, who had the most amazing time as a family. Us four is who we are.
“And something started to trip me up and I couldn’t figure out what it was. My therapist said I could become aware and things change. Over a period of time, it was a kernel it grew bigger and bigger and bigger until I was mentally struggling. Deeply mentally struggling. And my relationship with my colleague coincided with that moment. That is not an excuse, I make no excuse. I think this interview is not about other [gay] experiences. It had got to the point where I weighed nine and a half stone, it was utterly torturing me. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat and I wanted to be brave.
“I’d spoken through it with the family, who have all been incredible.”
“I feel a victim of hate, after the event. And I think probably there will be a lot of people watching this thinking ‘How dare you?’. It would be easier for me to say that I don’t feel like a victim. But what I feel a victim of is spun areas of non-factual information of gossip and nastiness. I don’t look anymore, I’m not in television anymore. I’m glad that it’s not a lie anymore but if I could’ve taken the whole brunt of this without an innocent man being hauled alongside then fair play. But the fact that an innocent man, his friends, his family, his association is questioned because you can say anything online. ”
The former ‘Dancing on Ice’ host – who is thought to have met the young colleague when he was a teenager but insisted that no physical activity occurred between them until the young man was over the age of consent – went on to add that had he had been supported by a “very prominent” public figure and insisted that sexual attraction in different age groups does exist as he claimed the core issue is “predominant homophobia.”
He added: “It’s been a very, very fine mesh of friends and it’s interesting to see who came through and it’s also interesting to see the new friends that I’ve made because there are a lot of people in my world who have reached out and been amazing. One very prominent public figure phoned me and said ‘I wanted to check that you were okay. I have never seen such homophobia in my life.’
“If it was a heterosexual relationship then it would have been a bit of nudge-nudge, wink-wink but if it’s a gay relationship then suddenly it raises eyebrows and it’s wrong. People do find each other attractive in different age groups, it does happen. But it’s the mere fact that this is so gigantic, and I appreciate the workplace and the history but it’s the fact that it it is so massive is predominantly homophobia.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James May thinks there is a “mutual loathing” between himself and his ‘Grand Tour’ co-stars.
The 60-year-old presenter appears on the Prime Video motoring series alongside Jeremy Clarkson, 63, and Richard Hammond , 53, and explained that if they were all in the same year at school they all would have been in “rival gangs” but that is exactly what makes the “chemistry” between the three of them work.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’, he told stand-in host Ranvir Singh: “People talk about the chemistry of us three and what is the secret and to be honest we don’t know. It’s a complete mystery to us. A large part of it is if we were at school together and we all were the same age – and we’re not – but if we were in the same year, we wouldn’t be in the same gangs. We’d be in slightly rival gangs so that’s what makes it work. It’s not that we don’t like each other but we wind each other up. I’d be in the geeky nerdy gang and would do things like build bicycles and play with cameras, Hammond would be doing something like the Scouts or the Cadets and Jeremy would be in something really nauseating like the young farmers.
“We would automatically be at loggerheads and that’s why it works. If you try to recreate what the three of us have, they do it with people who basically like each other and that doesn’t work. It’s got to be driven by mutual loathing. The only reason I crashed in the tunnel – which is a sad lapse of judgment on my part – is because I was trying to win.”
The former ‘Top Gear’ star is also by his nickname of Captain Slow and joked that he “doesn’t mind” the title so much because some people might appreciate it.
He quipped: “That came from, I think it was one of the researchers in the ‘Top Gear’ days but I don’t mind. Some people like a man who can go slow.”
