OHMYGOSSIP — Dannii Minogue thinks gay people have waited “far too long” to have their own dating show.
The 51-year-old pop star is to front the BBC Three show ‘I Kissed A Boy’ and is “so proud” of the broadcaster for finally bringing the concept to life after so many calls had “fallen on deaf ears” in the past.
She is quoted by The Daily Star on Sunday newspaper as saying: “This show is the first chance for gay dating to be seen on UK TV in the reality genre. It was far too long that calls for this type of show fell on deaf ears. I am so proud of the BBC for making this happen. The door is now wide open and the possibility is now there for inclusion.”
The ‘All I Wanna Do’ hitmaker – who is the younger sister of ‘Spinning Around’ legend Kylie Minogue – previously described the presenting role as her “dream job” as she vowed to put her “heart and soul” into the new show many years after she was first embraced by her gay fans at the start of her career.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’, she said: “It is my dream job. I tried so many times with my friends to matchmake and I was very successful with friendships with business partnerships and then I was successful with my friends Ian and Dan – they got married. So yeah, it’s the very first gay dating show. Remind me why we’ve waited so long for this, right? I feel like it’s been years that we’ve been watching so many dating shows whether it’s on an island or whether it’s in a house. ‘Love on a Spectrum’ is one of my favourite’s and my sister Kylie’s favourite too. It’s just time for the LGBT community to have something like this.
“It’s something that I want to do with a lot of heart and soul and do it proud and do it well. I was the first performer at G-A-Y and Jeremy Joseph reminded me of that. I just thought ‘Well, that’s natural. Of course. I’m going to perform there.’
“I didn’t think that there was any reason why I should but he told me that nobody else would perform there. It’s my happy place! The whole country – whether you’re trying to go out on a date now or if you’ve been on dating apps – there are so many people who are lonely and looking for love and they’re ready. So, hopefully, we’ll make some beautiful guys very happy.”
‘I Kissed A Boy’ is to air from 9pm on Sunday 14 May on BBC Three.

The 32-year-old reality star has been linked to the likes of former ‘TOWIE’ co-star Sam Faiers, pop star Rita Ora and Lorena Medina over the years but has been single since splitting from ‘Love Island’ contestant Maura Higgins in October 2022 and is now ready to find love again, and wants to get married in his hometown.
He told The Sun on Sunday: “I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m single and getting my life together. If a nice, kind girl walks into my life I’d get to know her. I’d like a girlfriend but she needs to fit into my jigsaw puzzle. I’ve had some nice girlfriends over the years but I need a girl to lift me up and put a smile on my face every day. When I meet The One I’ll definitely get married in Essex.”
The former ‘Dancing on Ice’ star was then asked what he thought of ‘Pam and Tommy’ actress Lily James and admitted that he likes to see what she gets up to on social media following her split from rock star Michael Shuman.
He said: “She’s a sort. We do follow each other on Instagram — we’ve been following each other for a while. I like seeing what she’s up to. She looks good and seems like a nice girl — and we’re both single.”
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ campmate went on to add that his love life generates a lot of interest from fans as he revealed that one fan in particular recently made him an offer to buy his used undergarments.
He added: “People always want to know who I am dating. They are willing me to find Mrs Essex. I get a lot of people messaging me pictures. I got a message from a fan recently on Instagram saying, ‘I want to buy your used socks and underwear’. It’s weird. I didn’t reply!”

Some people would be shushing, some people would be like, ‘I don’t know what they’re saying!’ It was so fun trying to mimic the Spanish acts but not actually knowing a word of Spanish. As a little kid, I can’t even believe I stayed up so late. I’ve always loved the mayhem of it-the costumes, the spectacle!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Vicky Pattison thinks she is “right” to have frozen her eggs because she and Ercan Ramadan are “not ready” to become parents.
The ‘Geordie Shore’ legend, 35, has been in a relationship with former ‘TOWIE’ star Ercan, 39, since 2019 but has decided to freeze her eggs because they do not want have a baby just yet and slammed others for putting pressure on them to do so.
She told The Daily Star on Sunday newspaper: “I know we are making the right decision. I have openly told everyone that I am not ready for a baby, that Ercan is not ready, that our relationship isn’t ready yet so many people say to me, ‘Just do it. Just have a baby’. I think, ‘Do you know how toxic that narrative is?’ We need to be kinder to women and a bit more
understanding.”
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ winner went on to insist that she has not made the decision just so she can go out and party over the coming years and instead claimed that she wants to be the “best mum possible” as she explained she is “lucky” to be financially secure and in a position to freeze her eggs in the first place.
She added: “I haven’t made the decision so I can enjoy drinking for the next five years and party. I have worked hard on myself. I have had therapy and I want to be the best mum possible and I am proud of that. It’s been much harder than I realised and there has been some abuse too. But I realise how lucky I am, not only financially but also biologically to be able to do this. I count my blessings.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Helen Flanagan caused chaos on ‘Coronation Street’ with her fake tan.
The actress – who is currently starring in ITV’s ‘I’m A Celebrity … South Africa’ – played Rosie Webster on the soap until her exit in 2018 and she’s revealed her obsession with getting a summer glow got her into trouble with show bosses because she’d upset the show’s continuity process with her changing colour.
Speaking on an episode of ‘I’m A Celebrity’, she explained: “I used to get in trouble all the time because of my fake tan. One time I’d be really pale and then the next time I’d be bright orange.
“They go mental if you do stuff like that, they go absolutely mental. They flip if continuity changes mid-scene.”
Helen is competing on the show alongside another former soap star Dean Gaffney – who played Robbie Jackson in ‘EastEnders’ – and he confessed he also made a continuity blunder by getting an eyebrow tint while filming.
Dean said: “I was going to Dubai so I nipped off between scenes for a tint but I fell asleep and she left it on too long. First person I saw was [co-star] Danny Dyer. He was like: ‘You alright son?’ but make-up were fuming. They were rubbing at them [eyebrows] for ages, exfoliating, all sorts.”
Helen and Dean were among the stars who jetted to South Africa last year to film the ‘I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!’ spin-off show. The all-stars competition features celebs who have previously competed in the survival series – which is usually broadcast live from Australia.
In a twist, the spin-off was shot in South Africa and pre-recorded so there was none of the usual audience participation when it came to voting.
Since coming home, Helen revealed she was delighted to be reunited with her three young children – Matilda, seven, Delilah, four, and son Charlie, two – after a lengthy stint abroad. In a post on Instagram, she wrote: “I was away for one month and never left my babies before.”
She split from her kids’ father – footballer Scott Sinclair – shortly before going on the show and she previously revealed she decided to keep wearing her engagement ring during filming because she didn’t want to answer any questions about the end of her engagement.
Helen told OK! magazine: “I did wear my engagement ring when I was in the jungle. We’d only just broken up, and I didn’t want everyone to be asking, ‘Where’s your ring?’ I wanted to keep it private for the kids.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Chloe Madeley is to star in a reality show about becoming a mum.
The 35-year-old star – who is the daughter of former ‘This Morning’ presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan – welcomed baby girl Bodhi with her husband James Haskell, 37, at the end of August 2022 and filming is now reportedly underway as she has let the cameras into her home and opens up about the “mental health” journey back to her day job as a fitness trainer.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “Chloe is a natural on TV and she and James together are great fun.
“As well as all the trials and tribulations of parenthood, expect Chloe to open up on her mental health and to share her postpartum journey back to fitness so she can continue her career as a personal trainer, while James juggles life on the road with his ­punditry work and podcasts. ”
The insider went on to add that it is hoped that Chloe’s parents – who famously fronted the ITV daytime show for more than a decade between 1988 and 2001 – will make an appearance on the as-yet-untitled series and claimed that it is expected ITVBe show will attract a different audience to the likes of ‘TOWIE’ spin-offs like ‘The Mummy Diaries’ and ‘Ferne McCann: First Time Mum.’
The source said: “Of course everyone is hoping Richard and Judy will also feature as supp­ortive grandparents. James is loved from his time on I’m A Celebrity in 2019 and it’s thought the couple will appeal to a slightly different audience to the Towie parenting spin-offs already on ITVBe, from the likes of Ferne McCann, Billie Faiers, and Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Danniella Westbrook regrets going under the knife for her fifth facelift.
The 49-year-old actress – who is best known for playing the role of Sam Mitchell on BBC soap opera ‘EastEnders’ for various stints over the years – has undergone several bouts of surgery reconstructive surgery on her nose to replace her eroded septum following excessive cocaine use and recently travelled to Turkey to have a fat transfer in a bid to fix a past botched op, but has now told of the “living nightmare” that the trip became.
She told OK! Magazine: “I had a surgical thread lift where they put over 1,200 threads into my face. They were also supposed to reconstruct my nose, which is what I went there for, but they haven’t done that. They put 200 threads in my nose to straighten it, but it hasn’t worked. So I feel like I’ve wasted my time. The main thing I wanted doing was for my nose to be reconstructed. I’ve been waiting for nearly four years. So I’m going back to my surgeon in Liverpool to get my nose fixed. They’re going to rebuild all the bridge in my mouth and build up the front of my nose. I need to wait to heal first, but I’ll be getting it done when I can.
“I also had fat harvesting [a fat transfer]. They’ve taken the fat out of my back, my sides and my stomach, and put it into my face to make it more symmetrical. But I feel like they’ve taken too much fat from my stomach. I’ve always had a six-pack, and I’ve woken up, and I’ve lost it.
“I also have big lumps of fluid all over my belly. They’re like big tennis balls. It’s ruined my body. It’s going to take a lot of work to get it back to how I was. I’m 50 this year, and I wanted to be in the best shape ever.
“The whole thing has been awful, if I’m being honest!”
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star went on to add that her face ended up “three times its size” following the operation and decided to write a will after hearing “horror stories” about people who had gone through the same thing and believed at one point she was going to die.
She added: “I’ve had a lot of surgery in my life, but I’ve never experienced anything like this. The pain was off the scale.
“My face was three times its size. I had fluid under my eyes, they were so swollen.
I could barely open them. I have never been in pain like it. I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I was hysterically crying every single day. It was terrifying because I don’t speak Turkish, so nobody could understand me. I was trying to tell them how much pain I was in and they just couldn’t understand, so I was freaking out.
“I thought I was going to die during the surgery, I really did. On the way there, I was told horror stories about people dying on the table. Not at the clinic I was at, but at others in Turkey. So that really frightened me.
“I wrote a will before the surgery, not that I’ve got much to leave, but I was petrified. My dad has got dementia, and I was thinking, ‘What am I doing out here?’ If anything happened to me, he wouldn’t understand.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Hill thinks he went “a bit far” with the jokes on ‘TV Burp.’
The 58-year-old comedian wrote and starred in the ITV Saturday night comedy series from 2001 until 2012 which saw him poke fun at all mediums of television that had been broadcast over the week – including soap operas such as ‘Coronation Street’, talent shows like ‘The X Factor’ as well as other factual series – but admits more than a decade after quitting the show that it was “quite harsh” and some celebrities such as celebrity chef Jamie Oliver stopped him from featuring clips from their shows on the programme.
He is quoted by The Daily Star newspaper as saying: “We always used to say it was a celebration. But the truth is, if you look at it, some of it was quite harsh. I think we did go a bit far. After a while, Jamie Oliver didn’t let us use any clips of his shows.”
However, Harry – who worked as a doctor before pursuing a career in showbusiness – went on to add that that fans often get in touch with him begging him to revive the series, but admitted that ITV bosses have not reached out and knew he was “fed up” with making the show when he qut in the first place.
He added: “I get asked to bring it back at least once a day. If you go on social media, I get comments asking for it to come back. ITV hasn’t done that. When I said I wanted to finish the show in 2012, they didn’t try to persuade me to keep doing it. I had a good relationship with them and they knew I was fed up with doing it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kevin Jonas is “obsessed” with ‘The Great British Bake Off.’
The 35-year-old pop star is best known as a member of US boyband The Jonas Brothers with younger brothers Joe, 33, and 30-year-old Nick and revealed that he and his wife Danielle both enjoy the annual Channel 4 competition, which sees amateur bakers battle it out to impress Dame Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood.
He told Metro.co.uk: “I’m just gonna say it, ‘The Great British Bake Off’ is spectacular. Me and my wife Danielle, we’re obsessed, and we love that we can watch it now here. It makes you feel like you’re getting ready for Christmas! It’s fantastic!”
Meanwhile, Nick was asked about his particular favourite piece of British television and remarked that a standout for him was 2020 ITV1 drama ‘Quiz’, which starred Michael Sheen and explored the case of real-life army major Charles Ingham, who set out to cheat his way to the top prize on game show ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’ with a coughing accomplice and was caught shortly before he could claim his £1 million prize money.
He said: “I know it’s a few years old but I loved ‘Quiz’, that show was amazing!”
And their fellow former Disney Channel star Joe remarked that while “all British reality television” is enjoyable, he particularly enjoyed the BBC comedy ‘This Country’, which starred The Masked Singer’ contestant Daisy May Cooper and her younger brother Charlie Cooper as a pair of cousins living in the Cotswolds, and declared that the programme is probably in his “top three comedy shows” of all time.
He said: “All the trashy British reality TV is always fun! This Country is probably one of my top three best comedy shows ever!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sam Thompson “didn’t want to let people down” with his ADHD documentary.
The ‘Made in Chelsea’ star, 30, went through a series of tests to determine if he has the neurological condition that affects aspects of life such as behaviour and concentration and ended up “wishing” for a diagnosis so it didn’t make things “awkward” for the sake of his upcoming TV programme.
He told RadioTimes.com: “At the start I was like, ‘I’ve probably got it!’ And then when you’re going through the motions, it becomes so much more real. I was like, ‘I’m going to find out something that is probably going to change my life’ because I’ve always been good at putting things in the back of my head and being like, ‘Whatever that hasn’t happened yet!’ And then you have this conversation with this therapist for like six hours they go through your school reports and it’s like a very intense thing.
“And then, there was a part of me as well that was like, ‘Oh God, I almost wished I had, because I don’t want to let people down.’ Imagine we’d done this whole documentary and used resources that could potentially be used for someone else, and then I didn’t have it. That would be so awkward. So it was a mixture of things really.”
The ‘Celebs Go Dating’ star went on to add that while he didn’t think a diagnosis would be such a “big deal”, he ended up in tears upon being told the news that he does in fact have ADHD as he realised that he is a “special person” after all.
He said: “I didn’t think it would be that big of a deal. I just thought it was going to be like, ‘Hey, you have ADHD!’ and ‘Cool, like when we go from there?’ But, it was emotional! I said to my director, ‘Just to let you know I’m not like a crier. Like I’m not going to be bawling my eyes out!
“And then I went and sat down, and after six hours you’re pretty drained anyway and then she went, ‘I imagine you’ve been feeling a certain way about yourself throughout a lot of your life. And I just want to let you know, you’re a very special person.’ I literally was like, ‘Oh my god!’ And I had like a singular tear that went down. It really hit me and I just obviously didn’t realise how much I wanted to hear that. I just think I’ve just hardened myself to a lot of stuff. Someone just sitting there like, ‘You’re a good guy!’ That was really nice! And I had a little cry, which I just didn’t expect at all. I just didn’t think was gonna be that emotional, but it really was.”
‘Sam Thompson: Is This ADHD?’ airs E4 and All4 at 9pm on May 8.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Emmerdale’ star Emma Atkins joked that she would like to murder someone as it’s the only storyline she hasn’t tackled.
The 48-year-old actress has played Charity Dingle on the ITV soap since 2000, and she thinks at this point the only fresh plot point for her character would be a pivot to being a killer.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: “I think I’ve blackmailed, but I’ve not killed anyone. Then again, when they say a character’s killed someone then it’s slippery slope.”
Emma quipped it would be “boring” to wish happiness on Charity.
She said: “I think she’s pretty much done everything. To say I’d want her to be happy is a bit boring.”
Recently, Emma teased a “magical” moment when Charity realises that her husband Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) is the father of Chloe Harris’ baby Reuben as the new mother – who is played by Jessie Elland – asks if he wants to see his son as she recovers from meningitis and his wife overhears.
She said: “There’s a moment in the village where we bump into each other, and Mackenzie doesn’t know that Charity knows and that is magical.”
Her 31-year-old co-star added that they used a filming technique that hadn’t “ever been done in a soap before”.
Lawrence said: “Then there’s a scene immediately after that, that we all shot together and that was a learning experience for us all,
“When it all comes out, hopefully, we’ve done it justice but I don’t think it’s ever been done in soap before, what we did.”
Emma added: “It just breaks a few of the boundaries of normal soap filming.”
Emma admitted: “We had a blast filming it. A normal scene is usually four or five pages, and that’s a big scene. This was like 17 or 18 pages, so it’s a continuation, and it’s the unravelling.”
