OHMYGOSSIP — ‘A Place in the Sun’s Jonnie Irwin has begun hyperbaric oxygen therapy amid his battle with terminal lung cancer.
The 49-year-old TV presenter confirmed in November that tumours had spread to his brain, and Jonni has now taken to social media to deliver an update about his treatment.
Alongside photos of a bridge in Newcastle and a zip-up portable chamber, Jonnie wrote on Instagram: “And at the end of this walk…is this…hyperbaric oxygen therapy. (sic)”
A hyperbaric chamber provides patients with pure oxygen to breathe. Due to the extreme air pressure, patients’ lungs are able to take in an increased amount of oxygen.
Jonnie was diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2020, and he was told that he terminally ill after filming an episode of ‘A Place in the Sun’ in Italy.
He previously said: “Within a week of flying back from filming, I was being given six months to live.
“I had to go home and tell my wife, who was looking after our babies, that she was on her own pretty much. That was devastating. All I could do was apologise to her. I felt so responsible.”
Jonnie also revealed that he’s keen to spend as much time as possible with his family.
The TV star – who has Rex, four, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac with Jessica Holmes – said: “I owe that to Jess and our boys.
“Some people in my position have bucket lists, but I just want us to do as much as we can as a family.
“I don’t know how long I have left, but I try to stay positive and my attitude is that I’m living with cancer, not dying from it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Hart wants to avoid “horror stories about back-to-back labour”.
The former ‘Love Island’ star has revealed that her unborn child is in the so-called back-to-back position, and Amy has urged her social media followers to not send her scare stories.
The 30-year-old star – who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Sam Rason – said on Instagram Story: “Baby’s not breech. Baby’s head down but is back to back.
“I appreciate that back to back is painful but I’m putting on my cloak of protection from my hypo-birthing.
“Please don’t send me loads of horror stories about back to back labour because I’m just going into it with a positive mindset.”
In the so-called back-to-back position, the baby has the back of their head and back against the spine.
Meanwhile, Amy announced her pregnancy in August.
The TV star revealed the news on ‘Loose Women’, after previously speaking about her fertility struggles.
She said at the time: “It was very unexpected, we weren’t going to start trying until next year … I had my 30th completely sober.
“Everyone kept coming up to me and saying, ‘You don’t seem very drunk’ and I said to my best friend ‘people are beginning to ask’ and she said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to do something then.’
“So the Abba tribute band was playing ‘Lay All Your Love On Me’ and I started crawling across the dancefloor, and nobody asked again.”
Amy decided to freeze her eggs at the age of 27, after previously being told that her fertility levels were low for her age.
Asked if she will still use her frozen eggs, Amy replied: “I might need them in the future.
“It was never about not being able to get pregnant, it was more about the longevity of my egg reserve. If I don’t need them, then I’ll donate them.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Maya Jama suffered a minor shoulder injury at the BRIT Awards.
The ‘Love Island’ host has revealed to a Twitter follower that she hurt her shoulder while dancing at the annual awards show in London on February 11.
The Twitter follower asked her: “@MayaJama , did you catch your shoulder with the hair straighteners!! #loveisland (sic)”
In response, the popular TV presenter explained that the injury happened at the BRITs.
Maya, 28, wrote on the micro-blogging platform: “I was shoulder dancing in a sparkly dress and it scratched at the Brits xx (sic)”
The TV star was among the first celebrities to arrive on the red carpet at the BRITs.
Maya also gave her social media followers an insight into her preparations, revealing that she and her beauty team spent hours getting ready for the event at London’s O2 Arena.
Meanwhile, Maya was announced as the new host of ‘Love Island’ in 2022.
The former BBC Radio 1 host admitted to being a huge fan of the ITV show, after being confirmed as Laura Whitmore’s replacement.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kaye Adams has “never been comfortable” with her sexuality.
The 60-year-old journalist is best known for her long-running role as an anchor on ITV1 lunchtime chat show ‘Loose Women’ but after starting the ‘How To Be 60’ podcast in the run up to her milestone birthday last year, was asked to take part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and admitted the decision to say yes was “purely professional” because she has “never been a performer.”
She said: “You start a podcast called ‘How to Be 60’ and then two months later someone says ‘Do you want to do ‘Strictly?’ I deserved to be drummed out the Brownies if I didn’t say yes, purely professionally, so [turning 60] was probably the driving force because if it had been an entirely personal decision, I’m not sure I would have done it. That’s not for any negative reason, but it was so – I hate that comfort zone expression – but I’ve never been a performer. I’ve never been one of these women who is comfortable even with a selfie or pouting or whatever.”
The BBC Radio host – who has daughters Charley, 20, and 16-year-old Bonnie with partner Ian Campbell – was the first contestant eliminated from the Latin and ballroom competition and went on to explain that she has never been “comfortable” smiling on camera and initially thought taking part in ‘Strictly’ would be going “too far.”
Speaking on ‘White Wine Question Time’, she told host Kate Thornton: “I’m not like [‘Loose Women’ co-star] Denise Welch, with a bloody selfie, hysterical laughing. The camera is there and you’ve gotta do this laugh with eyes and an open mouth. It makes me die inside! I’ve just never been one of these women who has been comfortable with my sexuality, I guess that is the truth. I’ve never been able to do all of that kind of flirty stuff and so ‘Strictly’, I was like ‘Jesus Christ, this is too far for me!’ But my professional self said ‘Don’t be such a t***, do it!’ and that’s why I did it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rhod Gilbert was “p***** off” when he was diagnosed with head and neck cancer.
The 54-year-old comedian told last year he had stage four cancer, though he didn’t say what type at the time, and he’s revealed how he was left struggling to “speak or breathe” during the early days of his battle with the disease.
In a pre-recorded segment for the National Comedy Awards, which were held in aid of Stand Up 2 Cancer, he said: “I couldn’t speak or breathe and I was postponing and cancelling tour shows, I had terrible spasms in my face and a lot of tightness in my muscles.
“Couldn’t get to the bottom of it, turns out after a biopsy of this lump in my neck that I have something called head and neck cancer, cancer of the head, sounded pretty serious.”
And Rhod joked he assumed he would have “life-long immunity” from cancer after spending 10 years as a patron of Velindre Cancer Center, so he was annoyed when he received his diagnosis.
He said: “I’ve led five fundraising treks all over the world, I do stand-up comedy nights to raise money, I hosted quizzes… it’s been a big part of my life for the last 10 years, so imagine my surprise when I was diagnosed with cancer.
“Which p***** me off no end, because I thought I’d have life-long immunity! Apparently not.
“Apparently you’re just as likely to get cancer even if you spend your time fundraising for a cancer hospital. Anyway, I did get it, and it turns out it can come for anybody.”
And the Welsh comic noted the “irony” of finding the lump in his neck while on a fundraising event for the organisation.
He said: “The other irony is that I was in Cuba on a trek, fundraising for this cancer centre when the first b***** lump popped up in my neck. I literally left as a patron and came back as a patient.
“I had to have chemotherapy sessions in a room with pictures of me on the way in, grinning down at myself as a patron.”
Rhod is now feeling “really happy and really positive” and hopes to soon lead another fundraising trek, though he is still “a little way” off his goal.
He said: “My facial hair is coming back, my voice is back to normal, my weight is coming back, my saliva glands are starting to come back. Basically, I’m coming back. My physically recovery goal is to lead the next fundraising trek to Morocco…
“I’m feeling optimistic and weirdly I’m feeling really happy and really positive.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kaz Crossley has been jailed in Dubai on suspicion of drug offences.
The former ‘Love Island’ star – who came third on the show in 2018 – was reportedly detained at Abu Dhabi airport on Monday (13.02.23) while in transit for a flight to Thailand, where she has spent much of the last year doing voluntary work.
It is believed her name was flagged as authorities in the UAE are still investigating a video from November 2020 which showed her snorting a suspicious white substance at a party in Dubai.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are in contact with the local authorities following the arrest of a British national in the United Arab Emirates.”
The 28-year-old beauty wasn’t allowed to phone her family after her arrest and was only able to send one email to a friend to let them know what had happened.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “She was looking forward to getting back to Thailand where she has been doing voluntary work and all of a sudden she is languishing in a Dubai jail.
“Everyone knows how strict they are about drugs over there. She must be terrified.
“She had only stopped off in Abu Dhabi to catch a connecting flight but her name has obviously raised a red flag.
“She was allowed to send just one email and wasn’t even allowed to make a phone call.
“She messaged one particular friend whose email she could remember and asked her to inform her family that she was OK but had been arrested for drugs offences. The arrest wasn’t because of anything she had on her.
“As far as we know it is all down to that video.”
Under recently-changed drug laws in Dubai, first time offenders face at least three months in prison and a fine of between £4,559 and £22,799.
Expats are usually deported back to their home countries after being jailed.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ant and Dec are to star in a new documentary about their private lives.
The Geordie duo, both 47, have been on television together for more than 30 years and have jointly fronted shows such as ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ for ITV but are reportedly set to give fans a peek into what goes on behind the scenes for the first time ever.
A source said: “This is a huge deal. People have grown up with Ant and Dec and their cheeky style means viewers have always felt like they know them.
“But really they’ve always made a clear distinction between their lives on and off camera and kept their private lives relatively out of the limelight. For the first time we’ll see a glimpse of who the lads really are!”
The insider went on to tease that the documentary – which is set to air in the spring – will be “raw and real” as it explores what happens when things go awry in the world of celebrity.
The source told The Sun newspaper: “There’s nothing like seeing a celebrity when they’re under pressure, or when something hasn’t gone to plan – in those cracks are where you find out who someone really is – and that’s going to be the beauty of this project. We’ll even see what they have for breakfast. It’s going to be raw and real and everyone is so excited.”
What’s more, the former ‘Byker Grove’ stars will be joined by the likes of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ host Claudia Winkleman , ‘This Morning’ stars Alison Hammond and Rylan Clark on the upcoming series of ‘Saturday Night Takeaway’, – which returns to screens on 25 February – with backstage footage from the new block of episodes set to also feature in the new film

OHMYGOSSIP — Shayne Ward is still “very proud” that he was able to raise awareness of male suicide through his role on ‘Coronation Street.’
The 38-year-old star played the role of Aidan Connor on the ITV1 soap opera from 2015 until 2018 and exited the show when his character took his own life but is still contacted by those affected by the issue today as he urged men to “never be afraid” to speak out about their mental health.
He said: “To tackle the taboo of male suicide, it was something that we had to naturally treat so delicately, we met with families, we spoke with Calm and Mind and worked closely with them. You never quite know how the public is going to receive that type of storyline but it was received so well. Even still now, the amount of messages we still get as a team from those who have unfortunately lost someone to suicide.
“We are very proud that we were able to use that platform to say that it is okay to talk. Don’t be afraid to talk, because we’re here to talk.”
Before his time on ‘Coronation Street’, Shayne – who has daughter Willow, six, and eight-month-old son Reign with fiancee Sophie Austin – first found fame as the winner of ‘The X Factor’ in 2004 and ahead of returning to the music scene with a greatest hits tour in April, admitted he is “hugely grateful” for the show before revealing that he almost missed his initial audition.
Speaking on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’, he told stand in host Christine Lampard: “11 years since I last headlined my own tour but it feels right because I’ve had a lot of time acting in soap and in film and I want to show the kids what daddy has done previously. I’m hugely proud of [‘X Factor’]. It was a great kickstart for all of us. I’m very, very proud of the show and it started my career. I’ve been doing this now for 17 years and I absolutely loved being on it. It was an amazing experience. I did [nearly miss the audition], I was on holiday at the time and I couldn’t afford to fly back but luckily enough there was an open audition the next day so I hope it was written in the stars when I went back, yeah.”
