OHMYGOSSIP — The Vivienne gushed that she felt “honoured” to be “the first drag queen” on ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The former ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race UK’ star – whose real name is James Lee Williams – took to the ice for the first time on Sunday night (23.01.23)’s show.
Vivienne wowed with her transformation into her idol Cher and skated to her classic ‘Strong Enough’ with professional partner Colin Grafton.
The pair managed to score a respectable 28.5 points from the judges.
Christopher Dean remarked: “A star was born on the ice tonight.
“We’ve had a few divas, but you’re our best skating by far.”
Upon the news that she was signing up for the ITV ice skating contest, she said: “I’m beyond excited to announce that I will be competing in ‘Dancing on Ice’ in 2023!
“This is honestly a dream come true and I can’t wait to start training on the ice. To be the first drag artist to take part in one of the big UK reality competition shows is truly an honour.
“I think it’s a big step forward for queer representation on TV.”
John Fashanu was the first celebrity to be voted off 2023’s ‘Dancing on Ice’ last night.
The former footballer, 60, compared being ditched from the show to an FA Cup final and joked he may go on to teach people how to skate.
He lost out after gaining the least points from the judges and failing to get enough votes from the public in a skate-off against Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu – who landed herself in the bottom two by receiving the least amount of public votes.
Speaking to co-hosts Phillip Schofield, 60, and Holly Willoughby, 41, with his professional skating partner Alexandra Schauman, 42, after his exit was announced, John said when asked if he had enjoyed his brief stint on the show: “Oh, it’s been great.”
When Phillip asked: “Will you carry on skating?” John replied: “Oh yes! I shall carry on skating and who knows, I might even start teaching people.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mollie Gallagher is struggling to train for ‘Dancing On Ice’ while filming on ‘Coronation Street’ because she can’t find a nearby ice rink.
The 25-year-old actress – who plays Nina Lucas in the ITV soap – has revealed it’s a challenge trying to find somewhere to rehearse her moves in between working 12-hour days on ‘Corrie’ – but she’s determined to do her best.
She told The Sun newspaper: “I love being busy. It’s [difficult] when you’re up north and you can’t find a rink!”
Fellow soap star Carley Stenson – who previously played Steph Cunningham on ‘Hollyoaks’ – is also taking part in ‘Dancing On Ice’ this year and she says she understands Mollie’s dilemma.
Carley added of Mollie’s gruelling schedule: “I don’t know how Mollie’s been doing it. She’s doing 12hr days filming and trying to skate. And then finding a rink to try and skate … Finding a rink, finding the hours to fit, and you’re only allowed to do two hours a day. You feel like you only, mind the pun, find your beat after an hour, and then you’ve only got an hour left.”

Tanyel says to Kai: “Two can play that game, my top two would be you and Kai.”
Ron responda by wondering if she is “bored” of Kai, an allegation that Tanyel fires.
Ron says: “Are you telling me you’re bored of Kai now?” to which Tanyel responds: “No I didn’t say that…”
Ron replies: “But you just want to spice things up a bit? Interesting.”
The brunette beauty later hits the Beach Hut to really dive into her feelings about the two hunks.
In the iconic chair, she says: “I feel like Ron brings out a different side of me, maybe more of the feistier side which is probably better in some ways. I want to flirt with Ron all day and all night.”
During the same episode, Tanyel will also open her heart to how “jealous” Kai talking to
Tanyel says: “You didn’t do anything wrong, but I actually got really jealous and I don’t like it.” In response, Kai says : “The fact that you’ve told me that you were jealous is the first intel that I’ve actually got that you actually like me.”
Tanyel says: “I know and this is what I wanted to talk to you about, it really annoyed me that you spoke to someone else, that obviously shows me that I like you…”
Following their exchange, Kai hit the Beach Hut to reflect on how things are not going be “plain sailing” between them.
He says: “I think she’s realised that it’s not going to be as plain sailing as she thought it was gonna be, I think she’s realised that she actually really likes me.”
‘Love Island’ airs tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player in Ireland and ITV2 in the UK.

OHMYGOSSIP — Gregory Ebbs has been fired on ‘The Apprentice’.
The 26-year-old entrepreneur has become the latest contestant to exit the BBC show after being axed by Lord Sugar.
Gregory – who owns an online antiques marketplace – was fired from the show after he failed to impress Lord Sugar during the latest task, which required the teams to create a cartoon aimed at young children.
Gregory and his team pitched a cartoon that featured characters playing a clapping game. However, they ran out of time during the design stage and their final product didn’t include the clapping hands.
Lord Sugar subsequently highlighted Gregory’s role in their under-performance.
He said: “I think you went missing in this task – we almost sent Dora the Explorer looking for you.”
Lord Sugar also described the cartoon as “pathetic”.
Despite this, Gregory has suggested that another contestant should’ve been fired instead of him.
He pointed out that a lot of faith was put in Reece Donnelly, the group’s team leader, and Gregory argued that he ultimately let them down.
The entrepreneur – who has his own YouTube channel – told RadioTimes.com: “Reece came in and he had a lot of experience with that particular task. So, a lot of responsibility lies with him.
“But on the other hand, as I say, the characters, the cartoon, the pitch – these are all factors which, unfortunately, we just didn’t match up to.
“I mean, the performance of the other team was a lot better than ours. So it’s difficult to place responsibility on one shoulders, but certainly the team leader does hold a lot of responsibility.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ stars Haris Namani and Shaq Muhammad became embroiled in a heated row following a game of beer pong.
The duo had to be pulled apart by the other Islanders at one point, after they disagreed about the earlier challenge.
Shaq called the TV salesman a “s*** stirrer” after Haris commented on new bombshell David’s kiss with Tanya, Shaq’s partner.
David locked lips with Tanya after being dared to kiss the Islander that he fancied the most. Haris subsequently asked him about the snog, prompting Shaq to accuse him to trying to create tensions within the villa.
The row then escalated and the two boys ultimately needed to be pulled apart, as the situation threatened to get out of control.
Meanwhile, the girls sat and watched the row in shock from the other side of the villa.
Prior to entering the ‘Love Island’ villa, Shaq admitted to being a “very emotional person”. The 24-year-old airport security officer also suggested that his emotional approach can lead him into trouble from time to time.
He said: “I’m a very emotional person. It can be a blessing and a curse.”
Haris, on the other hand, insisted that he’s determined to find love in the villa.
He explained: “I’ve never found love. I think this is the show that can help me.”
Haris, 21, thinks he could find his dream girl on the ITV show.
The TV salesman shared: “It’s the best opportunity for me to find the girl and find the right one. I’ve obviously not found the right one myself.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Will Young thinks Olivia Hawkins is “better suited” to Tom Clare.
The 23-year-old farmer is currently taking part in the hit ITV reality dating show ‘Love Island’ and even though he is now in danger of being evicted after ring girl Olivia, 27, left him for bombshell arrival Tom, 23, he believes the two make a better match.
Fresh from the re-coupling at the fire pit, Will told Tom on Wednesday’s (18.01.23) episode: “Honestly, you are well better suited. It just means that I’ve got to graft a little harder now!”
Elsewhere in the episode, Will was seen the following morning grabbing Lana Jenkins, 25, for a chat on the beanbags but despite appearing to get closer, the makeup artist brushed Will off as “not her type” and insisted that she only has feelings for financial advisor Ron, 25, whom she is currently coupled up with.
Will asked Lana: “Where’s your head at about me?”
She replied: “I think you are lovely, but I haven’t got that spark about you.”
Meanwhile, airport security guard Shaq Muhammad, 24, cosied up to biomedical student Tanya Manhenga, 22, by the fireplace as he admitted he just wants to “keep her close.”
He said: “That was intense, something like that kind of puts things into perspective, in those kinds of situations you…”
Tanya asks: “You what?”
Shaq replied: “I just want to keep you close…”’
Tanya said: “I’m your little baby. I want to keep you close!” and the pair looked set to finally share their first kiss, before Tanya pulled away.
Speaking in the beach hut, Shaq said: “I got pied. I went in for the kill and she pied me off but do you know what yeah, she’s definitely something special.’
In her own confessional, Tanya later acknowledged that even though the “vibe” was “making sense”, it was “too soon” for her to kiss him just yet.
She said: “He tried to give me a little kiss and the vibe was making sense, but I can’t give it him too soon.”
‘Love Island’ airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. The dating reality show can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.

OHMYGOSSIP — Eamonn Holmes says some of his former colleagues are “dead” to him.
The 63-year-old TV presenter insisted it was “good not to like people” and “good to have revenge” at times, during a conversation on ‘GB News Breakfast’ about revenge and feuds.
Eamonn’s co-host Isabel Webster said to him: “You talk a good game about this. You do, you talk a good game about it but actually, all the people in your life that you’ve had ding dongs with in the past, you’re on great terms with now when I think about it.”
While Eamonn admitted he can “forgive and forget” some past grievances, he claims some people he has come across in life are “evil”.
Speaking on the show, he said: “No, but there’s other people who are dead to me, who have got names that I can’t reveal.
“That’s the thing, I think once you cross that … well, there are evil people.
“Let’s face it, there are evil people, there are. And in the fight against good and evil – which I am good – the only enemy you want is a defeated enemy.”
In June, Eamonn admitted he wants to know why he was let go from ‘This Morning’.
He fronted the ITV brunch-time TV show with his wife Ruth Langsford from 2006 until 2022 and while he claims the version of events ITV tells is that he “left them to go to GB News” – which ITV denies – he has accused the channel of “putting out all the lies they want”.
He said: “The department of disinformation at ITV can put out all the lies they want. I wish somebody would show me the email or the letter that I was sent to say, ‘Eamonn, this is why this is coming to an end’. But to tell lies, that I left them to go to GB News … I didn’t – they left me. Let’s get it straight. They left me. I don’t care, because our audience is only up.”
Former ‘X Factor’ presenter Dermot O’Leary and ex-‘Big Brother’ star Alison Hammond took over the show’s Friday slot while Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield remain as regular presenters on Mondays to Thursdays.
Eamonn added that while TV companies are at liberty to do as they please, it has “surprised” him who has been kept.
He said: “You have no right to be there. TV companies can do whatever they want with you. It’s just, sometimes it surprises you, the ones they hold on to.”
A spokesperson for ITV said: “This isn’t a version of events that we recognise, and as we have said before we wish Eamonn all of the very best.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Laura Kenny is pregnant.
The 30-year-old star – Great Britain’s most successful female Olympian – and her husband, Sir Jason Kenny, have confirmed they are expecting their second child together.
Laura – who has five-year-old son Albie with Jason – wrote on her Instagram Stories: “Today I felt like I couldn’t hide away anymore. I’m already starting to show and the anxiety I have felt has been unreal. Telling the world means I have to accept we are having another baby and this fills me with all kinds of emotions.”
Laura admitted she is “scared” that she might lose another baby, after suffering a miscarriage in November 2021, and an ectopic pregnancy in January 2022.
She wrote: “I’m scared every single day that I might have to go through the pain of losing another baby. It makes you feel ungrateful for something you’ve so desperately wanted for the last year.
“But I also know there are going to be so many people, like I was, seeing my post and wishing I would go away with my happy ending.
“But I also know, when I was lying in the hospital bed, I was searching for people’s happy endings because it was the only thing giving me any comfort at the time. That maybe, just maybe I would get my happy ending.”
Cyclist Laura – who won five gold medals and one silver at Olympic Games in London 2012, Rio 2016, and Tokyo 2020 – also revealed it was a year to the day since she was given the devastating news that she was having an ectopic pregnancy.
She wrote: “A year ago today I was sat in A and E knowing I was really poorly but not knowing what was wrong with me.
“When I got the news I was having an ectopic pregnancy my world felt like it crumbled. We had already lost our second baby in November and I remember lying there searching for some sort of answer.
“I still feel this heartbreak today and I don’t think it will ever go away. But today a year on…”
Fellow cyclist Jason holds the record for the most Olympic medals (nine) and gold medals (seven) for a British athlete.

OHMYGOSSIP — Alex Scott was once nearly kidnapped by an Uber driver in Russia.
The 38-year-old TV presenter was working for the BBC in Moscow in 2018 when she ordered a car for a 15-minute journey to her hotel, during which the “stacked, bald” driver used Google translate to tell her she wouldn’t be making it home, resulting in her body going “numb”.
In her memoir ‘How (Not) To Be Strong’, she wrote: “He looked at me and said – in English – ‘Tell them they will never see you again.’
“‘I don’t understand,’ I stammered.
“My Uber driver picked up his phone and spoke into it, waiting for me to see the words as they appeared via Google Translate. ‘Tonight I am not taking you home,’ [it] read. ‘You come with me.’
“‘Oh my God,’ was my first thought… ‘I’m never going to see Mum again.’ ”
But Alex told the driver she was meeting Russian president Vladimir Putin the next day, after she had met him at the Kremlin alongside fellow BBC pundit Rio Ferdinand earlier that day.
She warned the motorist that Putin would “find” him if she wasn’t there to meet him, and he started driving back to her hotel.
Alex wrote: “Putin! I had been with Putin that morning! ‘You can’t kill me,’ I said. ‘I have to see Putin tomorrow.’
“He started laughing. ‘No one sees Putin’. I was scrambling now, pulling up photos from the morning’s visit to the Kremlin that had made newspaper headlines. His laughter died and I could see the cogs whirring as he tried to process what I was showing him. ‘If I don’t see Putin tomorrow, he will find you.’ ”
Elsewhere in the book, Alex revealed she was “madly and deeply in love” with fellow former England and Arsenal footballer Kelly Smith.

OHMYGOSSIP — ITV are making a ‘Love Island’-style show for single parents.
The network have confirmed the news that they are working on a new dating show, ‘The Romance Retreat’, which has been compared to the ITV2 dating competition – which is currently airing nightly and hosted by Maya Jama – through an online casting call for kids to sign up their “vibrant single parents”.
The description reads: “ITV1 are looking for vibrant single parents from across the UK who are in search of love, for a brand new dating show!
” This is the ONLY dating show where single parents can search for love, by spending time in a luxury retreat, where all the parents have been nominated by their grown up children. (sic)”
The call out seems to give people a snapshot at the sprawling luxury villa they are hoping to host the fun in.
This announcement comes after months of speculation that a ‘Love Island’ for those with a little more life experience could be in the works.
A presenter for the show is yet to be announced, but former ‘Big Brother’ host Davina McCall, 55, has made no secret about her desire to take the hosting reins.
She recently said: “I’ve got no embarrassment or shame in emailing a TV company and going, ‘Have you thought about this? What about this? Can I do this?’
“I’m literally begging ITV to let me present mid-life ‘Love Island’.”
The ‘Masked Singer’ judge – who split from her ex Matthew Robertson, 54, in 2017 with whom she has Holly, 21, Tilly, 19, and Chester, 16, but has since found love with her new man Michael Douglas, 48 – believes the contestants will have “the best back stories”.
She said: “I could fill a villa in Love Island with middle aged people with the best back stories you have ever heard in your life.
“They’ve lived a life, they’re widows, they’re people who have been through horrific divorces.”
