OHMYGOSSIP — Suki Waterhouse wants to rock for real after playing a musician on TV.
The ‘Daisy Jones and The Six’ star gushed about the “labour of love” that the cast – which includes Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough and Sam Claflin – experienced to really “become” the titular music group in the upcoming mini-series, which is based on the Taylor Jenkins-Reid book of the same name.
The 30-year-old actress is quoted by the Daily Star newspaper’s Hot TV column as saying: “Learning these songs has just been such an incredible labour of love. And when we actually all get to be on stage, performing them, singing them note perfect, everybody’s literally as good.
“We could go and perform on the Sunset Strip. I don’t really know many kinds of movies or TV shows where you can actually become a band.
“We can actually all play together.”
Suki – who is currently on tour with her new music career – recently shared how “happy” she is in her five-year relationship with ‘Twilight’ star Robert Pattinson, 36, as the Amazon Prime Video series gears up to launch in March.
She said: “I am so happy with someone for nearly five years.
“I had two days off the other day, and it was like, no question I’m going back to see him. Then he’ll come out for a couple of days.
“Rob definitely isn’t getting advice from me about acting, but of course, I’ll try and get him to help me with an audition before he falls asleep on the sofa.
“I’m always incredibly excited when I see his name pop up [on my phone] or even a text, and I think he feels the same about me.”
“We’ve always got so much to say, and I find him hilarious.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ dancer AJ Pritchard has claimed ex-‘Love Island’ star Arabella Chi cost him £50,000 on new game show ‘The Challenge’.
The 28-year-old professional dancer was partnered up with Arabella in the new Channel 5 series – which is hosted by Mark Wright, and sees celebrities take on extreme physical tests – but he insists she was the reason he didn’t win a share of the £100,000 prize pot.
Speaking about Arabella – who appeared on the ITV2 dating show alongside AJ’s brother Curtis Pritchard in 2019 – AJ said: “We did not make the final three.
“If myself and Arabella made the final three, I’d have put my life on it that I would’ve won that show.
“But it seems as though it was Arabella that got Curtis knocked out and it was Arabella again that got me knocked out the final and lost me £50,000.”
AJ says he won’t be able to forget about losing out on a possible five-figure sum for the rest of his days.
He added to The Sun newspaper: “I’m just going to throw it out there.
“That’s a touchy subject and it’s going to be touchy and a bit raw for the rest of my life!”
Asked if he’d like to meet Arabella away from the show, he said: “No! Unless she’s got £50,000 to hand over. She cost me the win.”
Mark recently admitted he was “really nervous” to host the game show, which was filmed in Argentina last year.
He said: “It was a big deal for me being the host of a show starring 16 reality stars or celebs.
“It’s proof that all the hard work, from hosting children’s shows to moving to America and putting in the ground work, is paying off.
“I was really nervous to walk out and see what their response was, especially when they have all come from the same place I did – reality TV.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘EastEnders’ star Kellie Bright has revealed the cast only found out in last night’s (20.02.23) episode that a male character is going to die at Christmas, after they filmed two different flash-forward scenes.
The 46-year-old star’s character Linda Carter is one of six of Walford’s much-loved matriarchs, Denise (Diane Parish), Kathy (Gillian Taylforth), Sharon (Letitia Dean), Stacey (Lacey Turner) and Suki (Balvinder Sopal) who appeared in the scene, which zoomed forward to Christmas 2023.
It saw Sharon check the pulse of a body on the floor before declaring: “He’s dead.”
Kellie said: “Someone’s dead on the floor, we had a stand-in, a body double, if you like, come in.
“When we filmed it, they made Tish [Letitia Dean] film it two ways – a ‘he’s dead’ and a ‘she’s dead’. So watching it last night was really the first time that I was like, ‘Oh it is a man.’
“There’ll be lots of red herrings.”
Kellie also pointed out that her character Linda has a split lip in the scene.
She said: “One of the things that you can’t really see on that is that I had a split lip.
“I don’t know why, or how I’ve ended up with a split lip.”
The sextet have already started a WhatsApp group to discuss their theories.
Asked on ‘This Morning’ if they had started a WhatsApp group, she added: “We have, yeah.”
The episode will act as a catalyst for major storylines involving each of the characters that will play out over the year.
Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw has urged viewers to re-watch the flash forward scene and look closely for clues.
He said: “I’m not going to give anything away that the episode hasn’t already given, but what I will say is there were clues in there. Did you look closely?
“I urge everyone to re-watch the scene and look at every detail. There’s also a few treats in the scene if you look hard enough.
“What I’d also say is that a lot can happen in Walford between February and December – circumstances can change, relationships can change, loyalties can change – so what you may suspect now could be somewhat different as we make our way through 2023 and head towards Christmas.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Cleese has apologised for rebooting ‘Fawlty Towers’.
The Monty Python star insists he had “no idea” bringing back the classic 70s sitcom, with his daughter Camilla Cleese, 39, would cause such “anger and distress”.
The 83-year-old comedian wrote on Twitter: “I must apologise. I had no idea that the idea of writing a new sitcom with my daughter would cause so much anger and distress.
“I truly mean no harm. Naively I thought it would be fun.
“But I feel terrible about having released this tide of negative emotion. Please forgive me”.
The iconic sitcom spanned 12 episodes over two series from 1975 to 1979 on the BBC, with John starring as hotel owner Basil Fawlty.
Recently, John has hinted he may set the rebooted show on a Caribbean island rather than the Devon seaside town of Torquay.
He said: “When I look at old clips now all these wonderful English character actors aren’t with us anymore, so suddenly we thought that if the only continuing character is Basil, then we can come up with something surprising.
“Then we thought, ‘Where?’ Not in a small English town, but somewhere more fun and much more different – say a Caribbean island or something like that with a small bijou hotel with a few rich people coming to stay!”
The ‘A Fish Called Wanda’ star has also ruled out creating the Rob Reiner-supported reimagining of the show with the BBC, due to a lack of “freedom”.
John said: “I’m not doing it with the BBC because I won’t get the freedom. I was terribly lucky before, because I was working for the BBC in the late 60s, 70s, and the beginning of the 80s.
“That was the best time because the BBC was run by people with real personalities who loved the medium and who were operating out of confidence, which was okay because there wasn’t so much competition.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’s Tanya Manhenga claims she “didn’t have the opportunity” to tell Martin Akinola about her kiss with Shaq Muhammad.
The 23-year-old beauty insisted she never lied to Martin, after he called Tanya “insincere” and slammed her behaviour over recent days.
Martin told her: “When I was speaking to you, you never told me you were a liar.
“You’re not sincere, you made me look like I was dumb, you’re a liar.”
Tanya subsequently denied the accusation of lying, insisting she simply didn’t have the time to explain the situation.
She said: “You’ve said your piece, yeah, you’re not going to call me a liar because you’re bitter. I didn’t tell you about the kiss, I didn’t have the opportunity. I am not a liar.
“If you’re upset about the way things were I apologise but I had to go with my heart.”
Tanya took the decision to dump the Casa Amor bombshell after realising that her heart was still with Shaq.
She previously told Shaq: “I don’t want anyone else. It doesn’t matter who walks through this door. It doesn’t matter what happens, what challenge is there … I don’t care about winning, I don’t care about anyone speaking to me. I only want you.”
Tanya also apologised to Shaq.
She added: “I just want to let you know, from the bottom of my heart, I love you so much.”
Meanwhile, ‘Love Island’ bosses have confirmed the return of Movie Night.
The segment – which will air on Wednesday night (22.02.23) – will see the Islanders watch unseen moments from their time on the show.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Still Open All Hours’ has been axed.
The BBC have confirmed there are “no plans” to make new episodes of the sitcom – which starred Sir David Jason as Granville and was a sequel to classic comedy ‘Open All Hours’ – after six seasons on air.
A spokesperson told the Daily Star newspaper: “There are currently no plans for new episodes of ‘Still Open All Hours’.
“We’d like to thank the cast and crew for six wonderful series, which are all available to view on BBC iPlayer.”
A seventh series was reportedly planned but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic before being scrapped entirely.
A spokesperson said about possible new episodes in 2020: “Discussions on future episodes are ongoing.
“The safety and wellbeing of all those involved in ‘Still Open All Hours’ is our number one priority, and we have been unable to film this year due to COVID-19.”
The original programme starred the late, great Ronnie Barker as shopkeeper Arkwright and aired for four series from 1973 to 1985, before making a comeback in 2013.
David, 83, previously opened up on the reasons fans are still so passionate about the long running show.
Speaking just before the sixth season aired, he said: “It’s just escapism. It’s a vehicle to make people laugh, that’s all it is.
“There’s a lot of people fed up with the constant grind, and the dramas getting heavier and heavier.”
The original run of the show only had 26 episodes across the four series’ but the revival – which was commissioned as a result of the popularity of the 2013 one-off special – featured in 41 over six series.
David recently admitted he nearly turned down the original show because he initially felt he was “too old” to portray Granville, the nephew and errand boy of Ronnie’s shopkeeper alter-ego Arkwright.
He said: “I thought I was too old to play it. Meaning that if Granville was delivering groceries at that age, would he be not as bright, maybe? That was the thing that held me back.
“But when I explained this to the director and to Ronnie B, they both understood, and said, ‘It will work. It will be alright.’ Those fears were put to rest and I just – well, we just all loved it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Masked Singer’ host Joel Dommett doesn’t always know the celebrities he unmasks.
The 37-year-old comic admitted he was left baffled during the first series of the singing contest when he was tasked with revealing the identity of former Home Secretary Alan Johnson – but had to fake his astonishment because he had no idea who the 72-year-old politician was.
He said: “The problem is that when it comes to reveals, I don’t know everyone in the world.
“In the first series there was Pharaoh, this Egyptian guy. And it was like, ‘Take it off, take it off, take it off,’ and the producer says in my ear, ‘It’s Alan Johnson’.
“So I say, ‘Oh my god, it’s Alan Johnson!’
“But inside I’m like, ‘Who the f*** is Alan Johnson. He just looked like a friend of my dad’s.”
And Joel admitted he did some of the worst presenting work of his career when A-ha frontman Morten Harket was revealed as the voice behind Viking in 2021.
He added to The Sun newspaper: “Another year there was a guy called Morten Harket, he’s quite a famous person apparently, he was the lead singer of A-ha.
“But I’m not a 55-year-old woman so I don’t know that the lead singer of A-ha is Morten Harket.
“The problem is I’ve got to remember their name because I have to say it again at the end. And I gave one of the worst interviews I’ve ever given because all I could think was, ‘It’s not Morgan Freeman’.”
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ contestant enjoyed some ‘Masked Singer’-themed private bookings during the COVID-19 lockdown and had a great time.
He said: “During Covid times companies started asking me to do versions of ‘The Masked Singer’ over Zoom.
“At the end of it it was like ‘Take it off, take it off’ and then I’m like, ‘It’s Ann from accounts!’”

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlie Simpson has won ‘The Masked Singer’.
The 37-year-old singer – who shot to stardom as part of Busted – has won the latest series of the ITV show, as Charlie was revealed to have been behind the Rhino mask.
Speaking about his experience on the programme, Charlie shared: “I was terrified the entire time. The thing I was scared most of was remembering lyrics. I often forget lyrics to my own songs on stage!”
Charlie also confessed to being pessimistic about his chances of winning the show at the start of the competition.
Despite this, the singer – who sang songs such as Snow Patrol’s ‘Chasing Cars’ and Pink’s ‘Try’ – was determined to have fun on the programme, regardless of the result.
Asked if he felt he would win the series by host Joel Dommett, the pop star replied: “No, I was just like, ‘remember the lyrics and have fun.'”
Earlier in the show, Natalie Appleton was unmasked as Fawn.
The 49-year-old pop star was the first finalist to be unmasked after she received the fewest number of public votes.
After her elimination was confirmed, Natalie – who is best known for starring in the British girl group All Saints – said: “I loved fooling you guys – it was such a buzz!”
Meanwhile, Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson was later unmasked as Phoenix.
The judges were stunned when Ricky, 45, removed his masked – especially Rita Ora, as she’d previously worked alongside him on ‘The Voice UK’.
Rita, 32 – who starred on ‘The Voice’ in 2015 – said: “Oh my God, we did a whole show together!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gary Lucy is “devastated” about his split from pregnant Laura Anderson.
The 41-year-old actor – who met reality TV star Laura while filming ‘Celebs Go Dating’ – admitted he is still in love with Laura and can’t believe their romance is over.
Father-of-four Gary told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “It’s been really hard and I’m devastated it’s over romantically. I think the world of her.”
Essex based Gary claimed that Laura, 33, dumped him after he refused to move to Scotland to be closer to her, explaining: “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.”
I know Laura was over the moon (about the baby). However, things aren’t as I’d have loved them to be.
“I’m a romantic, so I want things to be perfect. I’ll always want that fairytale, but as you get older, you have to realise it doesn’t always work out.
“I’m really gutted. I haven’t stopped loving her and I won’t stop loving her.”
