OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Bargain Hunt’ is celebrating King Charles III’s Coronation with a special regal episode.
Christina Trevanion called it an “absolute honour” to host an edition of the BBC One daytime antiques programme marking the 74-year-old monarch being crowned.
The 41-year-old television presenter said: “It is an absolute honour to have been asked to present this special episode of ‘Bargain Hunt’ to mark the Coronation of King Charles III. I’m lucky to have been present at previous royal occasions, including the Queen’s Golden Jubilee and Platinum Jubilee, as well as VE Day and VJ Day.”
The episode will see both teams be handed £300 to scour Newark Antiques Fair in Nottinghamshire – along with regal assistance from regular experts Roo Irvine and Raj Bisram – for royal trinkets to be added to the auction catalogue at Richard Winterton Auctioneers in the city of Lichfield.
Christina will also show off some beauties from Queen Elizabeth’s reign – which is the longest on record as it lasted for more than 70 years until her death last September aged 96 – like a scarcely found Queen Elizabeth II stool and ticket to her own coronation in 1953.
The installment of the long-running series comes a day before 2,000 people – including US First Lady Jill Biden, ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’ presenting duo Ant and Dec and singing superstar Lionel Richie – will take their seats in London’s Westminster Abbey to see King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla formally ascend the throne.
‘Bargain Hunt Coronation Special’ is on Friday (05.05.23) on BBC One.

OHMYGOSSIP — Michelle Keegan found it was “quite scary” going to Australia alone to film ‘Ten Pound Poms’.
The ex ‘Coronation Street’ star “absolutely loved” working Down Under to make the BBC drama about the immigration boom to the country in the post-World War II period, but she was initially apprehensive about heading to Australia without her television personality husband, Mark Wright, 36.
The 35-year-old actress – who plays nurse Kate Thorne in the show – said: “I absolutely loved filming in Australia. I mean, when I first got there the weather wasn’t great, I’m not going to lie, but as a country I really enjoyed it. In fact, in a way my journey to Australia has parallels with Kate’s. It was my first time too and I didn’t know what to expect, I came on my own which was quite scary, but it’s been such an incredible experience.”
Michelle admitted it was “really challenging” to play her character Kate’s “turmoil” at times.
She said: “My character Kate is a nurse who has left the UK to go to Australia for a very different reason from the rest of the characters.
“She has an emotional connection to the country and we find out as the show progresses what her intentions are and why she has gone there.
“Kate’s storyline is definitely very emotionally led. You see her go through a lot of turmoil in ‘Ten Pound Poms’. It’s been really challenging for me, and I’ve loved every minute.”
The ‘Brassic’ star admitted a period drama has been on her bucket list for a long time.
She added: “Obviously, the series is set in the 50s, so it’s a totally different era and it’s the first time I’ve appeared in a period drama, but it’s something I have always wanted to do.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Janice Dickinson was forced to quit ‘I’m A Celebrity … South Africa’ after falling over on her way to the dunny.
The 68-year-old former model has opened up about the “freak accident” in the middle of the night which forced her off the ITV reality show – which was recorded last year – revealing she tripped over in the dark and landed face-first. She was stretchered off and taken by ambulance to hospital to treat her injuries and she wasn’t allowed to return to camp.
Janice told The Sun newspaper’s TV Mag: “In the middle of one night I woke up because I had to go to the dunny [toilet] … The campfire had gone out and it was as dark as it could be. So I thought: ‘Right, I’ll make it to the dunny from memory.’
“I walked a couple of steps and tripped, flying flat on my face – hair all over my forehead, my nose was bloody and my whole chin was gashed open. Blood was gushing from all these areas, and there was dirt and stones embedded in my face from the fall.”
She was rescued by campmates Fatima Whitbread and Phil Tufnell who got her back to the main camp and called for a medic.
Janice went on: “[The doctor] said: ‘Oh my! We have to take her to the medical hut’ so they could wash away the blood, stones and dirt in case infection set in,.
“They gave me pain relief, put me on a stretcher and four men galloped me out along the road in the middle of the night in the cold air, two feet above the ground.
We reached an ambulance and the paramedics put a compress on my forehead and my chin. It was bad. I was in this tiny hospital in the middle of nowhere and they called my husband [Robert Gerner], who was in South Africa, to bring him to the hospital.”
At the hospital, the doctors cleaned up her cuts and scrapes and gave her more painkillers.
However, Janice was unable to rejoin the rest of her campmates and her time in the show came to an end. The accident and the aftermath will not be shown on TV, but campmates will be told Janice’s fate in Monday night’s (08.05.23) episode.

“And whenever I am having a bad day, I put the Trial on and it makes me feel better. My pain is everyone else’s gain!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rebekah Vardy is set to explore her troubled childhood in a new documentary.
The 41-year-old star – who is married to Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy – has previously opened up about the alleged sexual abuse she suffered as a young girl and she will share her experience growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness while also dealing with childhood bullying.
As reported by the Daily Mirror newspaper, new Channel 4 documentary ‘Rebekah Vardy: The Jehovah’s Witnesses and Me’ will see her front the show telling her own story as well as exploring other people’s traumatic experiences.
The broadcaster said: “This film shows a side to one of the UK’s most famous women that has not been told before.”
The programme is set to air on May 16, and comes 10 months after Rebekah lost her Wagatha Christie libel case against Coleen Rooney.
She wasn’t keen on going on television with a project based on the case, while the pitch from Channel 4 has offered an interesting option.
An insider told the publication: “After the court case, she was offered lots of TV things about the Wagatha Christie case and did not want to engage.
“Then Channel 4 got in touch with this project they had been planning for a while, looking for someone to front it.
“She was very keen and it all started from there. It’s a Panorama-style documentary, very serious.”
Meanwhile, it’s said the film will feature some “harrowing” accounts from people she speaks to.
The source added: “When she interviews people, their stories are harrowing and her own story is a hard one as well.
“It is a very different Rebekah from the one people think they know.”
Rebekah previously revealed she sought Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBD) to help come to terms with her abuse and found the sessions very helpful in helping her separate her difficult past from her happy life now.
Speaking on ‘This Morning’, she said: “After I had my little boy, I had a lot of CBT and it really helped me kind of close that Pandora’s box and distinguish, or to lose the face of, the abuse and it became something else.
“If I think about it it almost becomes a character and that really helps me because it’s separated my life today to what it was before and I still use that as a coping mechanism when I have a bad day.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlie Brooks would be open to her ‘EastEnders’ alter ego Janine Butcher making a return – but not full-time.
The 42-year-old actress made an explosive exit in December when Janine was arrested for perverting the course of justice, but Charlie hasn’t ruled out reprising her evil character again.
Janine told The Sun: “She is always fun to play and I’m always interested in what she’s doing and what she’s up to so there’s always a possibility.
“But I couldn’t play her constantly and I don’t think anyone would want me to. I think somebody might actually kill me if Janine was always in their living rooms four times a week.”
Janine was put in prison after Mick Carter [Danny Dyer] drowned saving his ex-wife Linda Carter [Kellie Bright], who has been picking up the pieces trying to carry on running The Queen Vic pub she once shared with her spouse.
However, Janine attempted to sell Mick’s share of the boozer. The following month, Linda learned via her solicitor that Janine had pleaded guilty, and she was just given a sentence of five years, much to the shock of Linda.
Charlie initially starred as Janine on the BBC One soap from 1999 until 2004, then again from 2008 until 2014, and made a comeback to the show in 2021, before her latest departure.
The star had previously revealed she was only originally contracted for a year on the show.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “I was only ever due back to ‘EastEnders’ for a year, but when [exec producer] Chris Clenshaw presented me with his idea for the story, I couldn’t say no to staying a little longer. But as always with Janine, she probably should not outstay her welcome — for everyone’s sake.”
