OHMYGOSSIP — Bear Grylls warned Spencer Matthews that finding his brother’s body on Mount Everest was not worth dying for.
The former ‘Made In Chelsea’ star teamed up with Disney Plus to make a documentary about his expedition to the world’s highest peak looking for the remains of his late sibling Michael who died during a descent down the mountain back in 1999 when he was just 22.
In a trailer for the documentary, explorer Grylls told Spencer: “Stay safe. If you get hold of Mike, I hear his voice screaming that one loud.
“On average seven people attempting Everest lose their life. No mountain is worth dying for a second time over.”
Speaking about his reasons for undertaking the journey, Spencer said: “Michael was my big brother. 20 odd years later we are sent this photograph of a body, it looks like it could be Michael.
“My heart says we should go and find him. And if we can, bring him home. We need the best people possible. We have one of the greatest, Nims Purja. We have to look all over the mountain.”
Michael died shortly after becoming the youngest British climber to summit Mount Everest following in the footsteps of TV adventurer Grylls who previously completed the challenge at the age of 23.
Bear later led an exhibition back up the mountain in a bid to recover Michael’s body, but it was not successful.
Speaking at the Oxford Union, Bear explained: “We actually had an expedition on Everest to try to recover the body of the brother of a good friend, who climbed it the year after I was there but was never found.
“We really tried. We had the best team in the world.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Carley Stenson is too cold to wear sexy outfits on ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The 40-year-old actress – who has 20-month-old daughter Skye with husband Danny Mac – is proud of the way her body has transformed thanks to the gruelling training schedule for the competition and though she’s “hungry” to flaunt her figure in skimpy clothing, she admitted it isn’t very practical at the moment.
She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “It is so funny because I got sent some beautiful revealing outfits and I’m hungry to wear them, but you are on the ice all the time — I’m blooming freezing!
“Even after the show, I’ve got these gorgeous dresses, but we are outside in the marquee and everyone is keeping their coats on.
“So I’m desperate to feel a bit sexier again in my old outfits, but it’s too cold to wear them.
“I love looking leaner and feeling stronger. Internally everything seems tighter and stronger, which feels amazing.
I’m fitter too, and it’s great to be able to run around after my daughter. I just feel better.
“After giving birth to Skye I bought bigger clothes to chill myself out and not put too much pressure on myself.
“But I am now starting to fit in the clothes that I was wearing before, so I’ve been quite happy.”
While Danny appreciates the changes in his wife, the couple don’t see each other much at the moment because he is starring in a West End production of ‘Pretty Woman: The Musical’.
Carley said: “It’s nice if I’m awake enough when he comes home. Now I’m just so shattered. But he is enjoying my confidence that’s come with it and he’s enjoying just seeing me shine, thrive and buzz. I’m just buzzing all the time because I’m getting to dance. It’s just feeling fit and getting the blood pumping.
“It releases endorphins and just makes you grab life with both hands. It’s brilliant.”
And the former ‘Hollyoaks’ star admitted she is “too scared” to enjoy her newfound fitness because she’s worry about keeping it up when she finishes on ‘Dancing On Ice’.
She said: “I’m too scared to really enjoy that because I know that the minute I’m out of the competition I’ll be like, ‘What can I do to stay this way now?’.
“I need to get back into my running shoes.
But I’m loving every time we finish the routine and we’re out of breath and we’re knackered and I’m trying to catch my breath.
“I love that feeling as I know I’m working hard.
“I’m really enjoying sweating on the ice, I’m really enjoying the workout that I’m getting.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins thinks she should represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest because she is “just as good” as Katherine Jenkins.
The 42-year-old reality star has been exploring her Welsh roots for new TV show ‘More Than Daffs and Taffs’ and she believes her ancestry has helped her inherit great vocals so she should be chosen to perform against artists from other countries in the annual competition, which this year takes place in Liverpool in May.
She is quoted by the Daily Star Sunday newspaper as saying: “I have Welsh in my blood – my nan was Welsh.
“All of the Welsh are good singers – Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey.
“I think I could represent us at the Eurovision Song Contest. I think I would be good they should get me.
“Katherine Jenkins is another one, and I think I’m just as good. It’s obviously a Welsh thing.”
Gemma is also considering moving to Wales because she thinks her native Essex is “toxic” and she has outgrown the area.
She said: “I’ve totally outgrown Essex. It’s toxic.
“I really like it in Surrey, Sam Faiers lives there. I do love Wales and I would consider living there.”
This isn’t the first time the former ‘Only Way is Essex’ star has voiced her dream of representing the UK at Eurovision.
Speaking in 2021 after James Newman, 35, scored nul points with his song ‘Embers’, she said: “I was absolutely gutted when James came off so badly — I would have given him the world.
“Next year I think the ‘Eurovision’ needs The GC. I’ve heard Bill Bailey wants to do it, so maybe we could duet.”
However, if Bill turns down her offer, Gemma is determined to “tap up Snoop Dogg”.
She added: “I want to take on his job on the Just Eat adverts — and I think working together at ‘Eurovision’ could be my way in.
“I wouldn’t be doing a cover song either, I’d write my own original song or have someone write one for me. Either way, the UK needs The GC. And I won’t be getting nul points, honey.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Childs has landed a new reality show.
The ‘Only Way is Essex’ star and her partner Billy Delbosq are preparing to welcome twins into the world and she is “so excited” that her pregnancy and early days with the tots will be chronicled on camera after she signed a deal with ITVBe for ‘Amy Childs: The Twin Life’.
Amy – who also has Polly, five, and Ritchie, four, from previous relationships – wrote on Instagram: “HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT
“Right …. SO I can’t believe I’m writing this but I’ve only gone and got my very own show on ITVBe, Amy Childs: The Twin Life!
“I’m so excited to bring you on our journey from pregnancy to birth all the ups and downs – absolutely no filter!!! COMING VERY SOON (sic)”
The 32-year-old star recently vowed she won’t be having any more children after the twins are born.
She said: “I love big families, but I think four is ideal. Two boys, two girls.
“Bill hasn’t got children, he’s 40 this year. He’s always wanted to be a dad, but obviously, he’s never met the right person.
“Me having the two kids, Polly and Ritch, I was a bit like: ‘Mmm. I would have been really happy to stay at two…’ But meeting Bill, I thought: ‘Do you know what, I will see.’ ”
And Amy also admitted she was “in shock” when she was told she was carrying twins.
She said in October: “I feel like I’m still in shock – massively in shock. When they said it was twins, I wish we’d videoed it.
“I went for a few early scans and they told me at eight weeks, ‘there’s two sacks and two heartbeats, congratulations’, my face was an absolute picture, like, ‘I’m not ready to have a baby – I’m not ready to have twins.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Channel 4 are bringing back ‘Four Weddings’.
The broadcasters are planning to reboot the programme – which originally ran on Sky Living from 2009 to 2013 – and are keen for the show to have even more “drama” than ever before.
The reality show echoes the format made popular by ‘Come Dine With Me’ and sees four couples rank each other’s big days on factors including the dress, the food, the venue, and the overall experience, with the highest-scoring bride and groom winning their dream honeymoon.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Producers have seen the success of Married At First Sight and are looking to make Four Weddings a hit with even more drama than the original.
“Everyone loves a wedding show, especially after the success of Don’t Tell The Bride.”
The show is being made by Multistory Media, who also work on ‘Come Dine With Me’ and ‘All Star Musicals’, and producers are on the lookout for “zany, original and different” weddings to feature on the programme.
The insider added: “Casting agents are currently scouring the country for zany, original and different weddings to avoid the run-of-the-mill ceremony.
“They want lots of characters and plan to feature same sex weddings too this time around.”
Steps singer Faye Tozer’s wedding to second husband Michael Smith featured on a celebrity edition of the show in 2010 and though she admitted their nuptials may have seemed “boring” alongside the other stars, which included ‘Big Brother’ winner Pete Bennett and model Michelle Marsh, she was determined not to do anything controversial that could upset her spouse’s family.
She said at the time: “Mine was absolutely traditional, straight down the line. Michael is from the North and has a huge family and as Faye from Steps marrying into that family, I didn’t want to do anything that would make great nanna jump or anything outrageous.
“Also, I didn’t want to compete. I was very specific that I didn’t want to go over the top with entertainment. For me, it was all about the family.
“It might come across on TV as really boring, but for me it was just perfect. I can see why they put the bunch together, they did it because the difference was huge.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Carley Stenson broke down in tears as she was eliminated from ‘Dancing on Ice.’
The 40-year-old actress – who is best known for her role as Steph Cunningham in the Channel 4 soap opera ‘Hollyoaks’ – had been taking part in the ITV skating competition alongside Mark Hanretty but became emotional after missing out on a place in next week’s semi-finals as she admitted she will “miss” her professional partner.
Speaking on Sunday’s (26.02.23) episode of the show, she told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: “It just got harder. I’m gonna miss this man. I’ve really enjoyed it, this is all a bit of a blur actually.”
The former West End star had ended up in the skate-off against Siva Kaneswaran and his partner Klabera Komini but failed to impress Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean, Ashley Banjo, and Oti Mabuse with their routine set to Celeste hit ‘Stop This Flame’, with all four judges opting to send The Wanted singer through to the next heat of the competition.
Diversity member Ashley remarked: “What a skate-off! For me, it is about the skate-off, it is about the drama, it is about the executive and how you hold it together and I think [Siva and Klabera] had a stronger week”, whilst Oti claimed that Carley’s routine had been “intricate and difficult” but Siva’s was “easy but perfectly executed.”
Christopher commented: “The skate-off is about the do or die and tonight, there were some mistakes.”
Head Judge Jayne added: “I would agree with my fellow judges, it was all about tonight’s skate-off and that is what we have to judge.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’s Movie Night saw Claudia Fogarty row with Casey O’Gorman when she discovered he had invited Cynthia Otseh-Taiwo to share his bed.
The pair had been coupled up for a few days before the 28-year-old beauty was sent to the Casa Amor villa, and on Wednesday’s (22.02.23) installment of the show, she was shocked to discover the details of what happened when she was away.
Claudia was shown a clip of Cynthia climbing on top of Casey on the terrace before he invited her into his bed, prompting the livid boutique owner to shout: “You said you never asked her to sleep in your bed.”
But defiant Casey insisted he had “nothing to be sorry about”.
He said: “We literally both went into Casa pretty much single, we’ve dealt with everything.
“I’ve got nothing to be sorry about.”
Claudia fumed: “Don’t make me look like a d******d.”
Jessie Wynter and Tanya Manhenga then waded into the row.
Jessie said: “Casey stop defending yourself and say f*****g sorry.”
But when Tanya also chipped in, Casey rolled his eyes and said: “Oh, Tanya, don’t you start.”
She replied: “Everyone has an opinion and you can say what they want.”
Elsewhere, movie night also saw Tanya clash with Shaq Muhammad after they had to rewatch her in-bed smooch with Martin Aknola, who she had chosen to recouple with.
Shaq shouted: “Why am I not hearing about this before? So you think his soup is delicious?”
Tanya hit back: “I said exactly what happened!”
Shaq then quipped: “I knew you was looking nervous for a reason.”
But the biomedical science student insisted: “I’m not nervous hunny, I told you exactly what I said.
“You were looking for something to be angry about. But I’m not nervous, I’m absolutely fine hunny.”
Shaq pressed Tanya as to why she had become so “defensive” over the kiss and insisted she was “in the wrong”.
He added: “That’s not what you said, what I saw and what you said is different.
“Did everyone not hear her say it as well?”
Tanya then shouted: “Am I not allowed to defend myself? What the f*** else do you want me to tell you?”
Much to the dismay of many viewers, not all of Movie Night was shown in the episode, with fans having to tune in on Thursday (23.02.23) to catch the rest of the action.

OHMYGOSSIP — Former ‘Love Island’ star Laura Anderson has addressed her split from Gary Lucy, insisting her priority is bringing up their baby in a “calm and stable environment”.
The former ‘Hollyoaks’ actor recently claimed pregnant Laura wanted him to move to Scotland – where she is from – but the 33-year-old star insists she “never asked or expected” him to do so, and says she was initially planning to move to Essex, where he hails from.
In a statement on her Instagram Stories, Laura wrote: “I had no intention to comment on the breakdown of my relationship with Gary.
“However, due to what has now been publicly shared by other parties, I have been left with no other choice.
“Gary and I are no longer together due to multiple reasons which will remain private. Our plan was for me to move to Essex to start our family which I was more than happy to do.
“However, since the breakdown of our relationship I have remained at home in Scotland. My priority is bringing my baby up in a calm and stable environment.
“I never asked or expected Gary to move to Scotland. I fully support him living in Essex to be close to his four amazing children.
“I am fully focused on having a healthy, happy pregnancy and remain excited to share this incredible journey with you all. Thank you so much for you support! Laura, Buddy and Bump. (sic)”
Laura announced last week she is expecting her first child.
She wrote on Instagram at the time: “Our hearts are full. Baby Lucy due Summer ‘23 (sic)”
But four days later, she edited the caption, which now reads: “My heart is full. Baby Anderson due Summer ‘23”
The change came after Gary admitted in a newspaper interview that he was “devastated” about the split, and claimed Laura had wanted him to move.
He said: “It’s been really hard and I’m devastated it’s over romantically. I think the world of her.
“Laura did want me to move but I have my responsibilities here.
“I have four kids and all the things that go along with that so it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to uproot at this time.
“Having gone through a divorce, my children need me and living such a long way from them just would not be possible.
“I wish I could break myself in half. I would if I could.”
Gary, 41, now confirmed last week that he and Laura – who met on ‘Celebs Go Dating’ last year – had split up.
He said: “I love Laura but we are no longer together.
“My main drive as always is to work together to co-parent our child. I look forward to the arrival of the new baby.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Olly Murs pranked Jason Manford by revealing he had got a tattoo of his “idol”.
The ‘Dance With Me Tonight’ hitmaker plays a joke on the star by showing off what appears to be a permanent inking of Jason’s face on Olly’s leg on Saturday night’s (25.02.23) episode of ‘Starstruck’.
While lifting up his trousers to showcase the temporary tat, the 38-year-old singer says: “I actually have a tattoo of my idol on me.”
Responding, the 41-year-old stand-up comic – and judge on the ITV talent show alongside Shania Twain, Beverley Knight and Adam Lambert – says: “I’m laughing but I’m absolutely terrified.”
Recently, ‘Starstruck’ host Olly said working alongside Shania on the show was a “pinch yourself moment” because he’s admired her for years.
He explained: “It’s definitely a pinch-yourself-moment for me. To hear that Shania was doing the show I was like, ‘Wow. That’s another picture to put on the wall’.
“It’s one off the bucket list to meet Shania and be in her company – someone that I’ve admired from afar for so many years. It’s awesome.”
The talent series, which debuted in February last year, features a singing contest in which members of the public attempt to recreate musical hits by impersonating showbiz stars in a bid to win a £50,000 cash prize.
Olly added: “It’s happy, fell-good Saturday night television.
“This format works for me because I love music. I love performing for people and I love entertaining. If the right show comes along then I’ll do it.
“I’m trying to juggle a lot of things at the moment, but hosting is definitely something I’d like to do more of.
“Season two will have lots of surprised in store, It’s gone up a notch.”
‘Starstruck’ airs on Saturday at 8.30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

OHMYGOSSIP — Former ‘Match of the Day’ commentator John Motson has died aged 77.
The legendary football commentator, who was known affectionately as “Motty”, covered 10 World Cups and 29 FA Cup finals for BBC Sport before retiring from the organisation in 2018, and several stars, including former Liverpool defender and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher, have paid tribute to the star.
Jamie wrote on Twitter: “RIP John Motson
An absolute Legend of the game.
So many of us grew up listening to this man describe the action and goals on MOTD and cup finals. Sad loss.”
TV presenter David Baddiel posted: “John Motson. Oy. Feels impossible: a voice that, at one time, *was* football. RIP. (sic)”
TalkSPORT broadcaster Jim White tweeted: “Sad news, legendary football commentator John Motson has died. He was 77.”
John made his breakthrough on ‘Match of the Day’ in 1972 when commentating on a famous FA Cup replay between underdogs Hereford and top flight side Newcastle United.
The match ended up being the main game on the show after Hereford secured a shock 2-1 win, with John remembered for his commentary of Ronnie Radford’s sublime 30-yard strike.
John – who was awarded an OBE for services to sports broadcasting in 2001 – commentated his final game for ‘Match of the Day’ in 2018, when he took the mic for a Premier League fixture between Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion.
He was given a standing ovation on the pitch after the match.
In 2021, the star admitted he was glad he didn’t have to worry about shirt numbers in the Premier League since retiring.
He said: “The difficult bit now, and this is the bit why I’m glad I’m not still doing it anymore, is the shirt numbers.
“In my day they were always 1-11. Now the numbers go up to 50-something. I’d find that difficult.
“And also the number of substitutes. Dealing with one player coming on and one going off was OK in the early 70s.
“Now you’ve got up to nine subs on the bench and any three of whom could come on.
“I always found in my later years working out who was coming on was bad enough, but trying to remember who had gone off was even harder. I found that juxtaposition quite tricky.”
John’s cause of death is not yet known.
