OHMYGOSSIP — David Salako signed up to ‘Love Island’ because he hasn’t found “the one” yet.
The 24-year-old money advisor was teased as one of two Bombshell arrivals at the end of Tuesday’s (17.01.23) episode and will be seen entering the villa alongside model Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown but revealed that he can be “very picky” when it comes to dating as he recalled a time he dated a girl he found to be too clingy.
He said: “I’m very picky – I haven’t met the right one yet. The person you’re going to meet is never going to be perfect, but I’ve got my standards, yeah. I met someone through an app, she was messaging me all the time. When I met her, she
said, ‘I’ve been down your social media followers, you follow a lot of girls. Do you know all of these girls? If I was in a relationship with someone I wouldn’t want them following that many girls.’ I said to her, ‘This is a bit too much for me.’”
Meanwhile, David was asked what gives him the “ick” and admitted he doesn’t like it when girls drunkenly sing along to classic songs in bars and explained that while he can hold a tune himself, he will never be heard doing so because he lacks “confidence.”
He said: “When girls sing-along all messy to songs like ‘Wonderwall’ in the bar [it gives me the ick]. I can sing, but I will never sing! I just haven’t got the confidence to do it! I’m a really good judge of character. I feel like I can read someone. I haven’t got any qualifications for that but…”
‘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 — Zara Deniz Lackenby-Brown has a “shambolic” love life.
The 24-year-old model was teased as one of two Bombshell arrivals alongside money advisor David Salako, also 24, on the second episode of ‘Love Island’ on Tuesday (17.01.23) and explained that she signed up to the ITV reality dating show because nothing in her personal life has been “working” for her so far.
She said: “It’s been something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. My love life is a bit shambolic so it would be nice to date in a different environment as whatever I’m doing at the
minute isn’t working. [I will bring] sass, vibes and good energy. I’m a massive hype girl, I’m very complimentary so I hope to keep the vibes up in the Villa. I’ll also bring spice, I’m a bit different and I don’t think there’s anyone in there that’s like me so I reckon I’ll keep things interesting.”
Zara went on to add that she believes she is still single because she has “very high standards” because of her profession and explained that she “knows what works” in a relationship becuase of her “amazing parents.”
She said: “I have very high standards because of the industry I’m in but also because of my family. My parents have a great relationship, I’ve got an amazing mother and father and I know what works in a relationship.It takes me a while [to fall in love] as I have high standards and I’m fussy but when I meet someone that I like I fall in love very quickly.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Clare stole Olivia from Will on ‘Love Island.’
The 23-year-old semi-professional footballer arrived in the South African villa as a Bombshell addition to the hit ITV2 reality dating show on Monday’s (17.01.23) episode and the following day was seen being given the power to steal a girl from someone else, finally choosing to couple up with ring girl Olivia Hawkins, 27, leaving farmer Will Young, 23, single and in danger of eviction.
Speaking to his fellow Islanders around the campfire, Tom said: “It’s been a very tough decision for me and what’s made it so hard is that all the girls have such different personalities and I find them all attractive. It’s been a very tough decision. But I’ve decided to couple up with this girl because I definitely think she’ll keep me on my toes, I think she’s absolutely stunning and I know it’s only early days but I do genuinely think there’s probably something there with this girl. The girl I’d like to couple up with is Olivia.”
Earlier in the episode, Tom had been seen talking to hair stylist Tanyel Revan, 26, – who is currently coupled up with 24-year-old PE teacher Kai Fagan – about how everyone had been managing since entering the villa and she insisted that everyone was “getting to know each other.”
He asked: “How are you guys in your couples?”
She replied: “Everyone is still getting to know each other.”
Tom then nodded in agreement as Tanya then asked: “How tall are you?” to which he replied: “6’5, I like to be the little spoon though!”

OHMYGOSSIP — The BBC is working on a new primetime show that is ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ for amateur dancers.
The competition will be titled ‘Clear The Dancefloor’ and is being made by the production firm Tuesday’s Child, with filming due to kick off next month.
It’s also reported that some “old stars” from the Latin and ballroom show – which was won by wildlife cameraman and presenter Hamza Yassin in 2022 – will “crop up”.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “The public can’t get enough of dance shows so the Beeb is keen to keep up with demand.
“There’s a lot of hope pinned on this sparkly new show and producers are hoping it will be a big hit.
“It’s light, fun entertainment, just what viewers needs when there’s no Strictly to watch.
“Expect to see a few old Strictly stars crop up too.”
Meanwhile, Kym Marsh recently admitted her ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ stint taught her to give herself “more credit”.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ star took part in the latest series alongside pro partner Graziano di Prima, and she was eliminated during the quarter-finals in musical week.
Recalling her time on the programme, Kym said: “I learned new skills, new things about myself, lost a fair bit of weight and met some amazing people.
“I never saw myself as someone who was up there with the best dancers, but the whole experience taught me to give myself more credit.
“I’m proud of what I achieved. I’ve always been open about my struggles with anxiety, and there were times on set where it threatened to take hold. I was nervous but discovered I could beat it and take control.
“That’s the lesson I’ll cherish most. I’ve realised how far I’m able to push myself and overcome things I might think I’m too weak to do.”
Kym – who has children, David, 27, and Emilie, 26, with ex Dave Cunliffe and Polly, 11, with ex-husband Jamie Lomas – wants to continue setting a good example for her children by working hard.
She added to Prima magazine: “I want to keep working hard, setting a good example to my kids and spending time with my grand-children.
“The past few years have been about setting my sights high and challenging myself – and I’m going to continue to do that. I want to keep testing my limits and proving my capabilities.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Patrick Murray would “love” to do a new series of ‘Only Fools and Horses.’
The 66-year-old actor starred as Mickey Pearce alongside Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst in the classic sitcom from 1983 until 2003 and despite the death of series creator John Sullivan, is confident his co-stars would also be willing to take part in a revival if the “quality” of the writing was still there.
He said: “I’d love it. Getting together again and with all the cast and seeing how all the characters have developed. Mickey will probably have a little Mickey running around. If the quality of the script was there, I imagine the others would be up for it too. John Sullivan was such a great writer, but his son Jim is really good and I’m sure he could achieve it.”
Meanwhile, the comedy star – who has seven-year-old daughter Josie with wife Anong – was diagnosed with lung cancer in the summer of 2021 and despite being declared cancer-free in May last year, had to undergo a life-saving operation last week to remove half his liver and a newly-discovered tumour but will be “eternally grateful” to his surgeon., who had also worked with late footballing legend George Best.
He told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “I had the same surgeon as George Best, Professor Nigel Heaton, and he was delighted with the outcome as the tumour wasn’t in a good place. So I’m eternally grateful to him. Amazingly, the liver will grow back in four weeks — I couldn’t believe it when he told me!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Diane Morgan believes “in an afterlife”.
The ‘Motherland’ star detailed an encounter she had at her grandmother’s house when she was a child where she was certain that a “black shadow” was watching her.
The 47-year-old actress told the Daily Star newspaper: “I like to believe in an afterlife.
“In my grandmother’s house when I was around 11 or 12, I was brushing my hair in the mirror and got a strange feeling someone was staring at me until they were an inch away from my face.
“There was a black shadow on the wall – and it started moving towards me. It wasn’t summer so couldn’t have been my own shadow – I ruled everything out – it kept coming closer until I ran out.
“I thought that was the start of something but since then, nothing. It was stranger than being filmed as there was no one else there.”
As well as her role as Liz in sitcom ‘Motherland’, Diane has starred in a string of successful comedy shows, including Ricky Gervais’ ‘After Life’, ‘Mandy’ and ‘Cunk On Britain’.
Diane got to star opposite Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder in the first season of ‘Mandy’ and she has described the singer as “brilliant” and “up for anything”.
She said: “He was brilliant – up for anything, no airs and graces.
“I love him and Bez on ‘Gogglebox’ and could watch them for a whole episode.
“He didn’t talk to me about aliens though.”
Diane is a distant relative of ‘Coronation Street’ legend Julie Goodyear – who played Rovers Return landlady Bet Lynch on the ITV soap – and she admits that the larger than life performer is an influence on her sitcom character Mandy Carter.
Diane said: “Julie is something like my grandma’s sister’s cousin’s daughter. I’ve never met her, but when I play Mandy, I see a touch of her.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jermaine Pennant and Jess Impiazzi “are staying away from reality TV”.
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ stars – who got together after the former Arsenal and Liverpool footballer split from Alice Goodwin, the mother of his 12-year-old son Trey – are not keen to “do that sort of thing” anymore after their respective appearances on the star-studded edition of the series.
The 40-year-old former footballer told the Daily Star newspaper’s Hot TV column: “We are staying away from reality TV.
“The message we’ve given to our agent is that we don’t want to do that kind of thing.
“There’s no point in them telling us about offers to do reality stuff anymore. That phase has been and gone for us.”
The 33-year-old actress added: “I just want to focus on my acting. It’s what I trained to do and it’s what I want to be doing. It’s something I love and it’s authentic so I don’t want to do anything to ruin it. I’m just keeping my head down and working hard.”
Jessica – who recently starred in the BBC One drama ‘Strike – praised her boyfriend for “smashing it” with his broadcasting career after he declared bankruptcy for failing to pay millions of pounds in tax.
She said: “Jermaine is doing really well, too. He has his presenting and sports punditry. He is smashing it.”
Recently, Jermaine – who also played wing for Liverpool FC – admitted he had the potential to be a “billionaire” before he “f***** it up” before his ADHD diagnosis, a condition that led him to forget he owned a multi-million pound house.
He said: “In all honesty, I could have been a billionaire and still f***ed it up.
“I have made so many mistakes but I did not know how to deal with things and would not think of the consequences of my actions.
“I have been labelled a bad-boy but, in reality, I was just an insecure kid who did not know what he was doing.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ star Kai Fagan is ready to get frisky in the villa even if might affect his teaching career.
The 24-year-old educational expert has admitted he will probably “forget” about the cameras when he is on the ITV reality dating show – which kicks off on Monday night (16.01.23) with new host Maya Jama, who replaced Laura Whitmore – and go for it with one of the babes if he gets the chance.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: “I can’t say right now whether I’m going to… I feel like after a while of being in the villa, you probably forget that you’re getting recorded. If stuff happens, stuff happens, doesn’t it?”
When asked if he’s worried any sexy antics might have an impact on his career, he added: “I can’t really necessarily say for definite, because if it is teaching, there are hundreds and thousands of opportunities and we’re in a recruitment crisis at the minute. If I can demonstrate I’m a good enough teacher, then probably not.”
Kai – who has resigned from his teaching post to appear on the show – believes going on television can be “inspiring” to his ex pupils.
He said: “A massive part of teaching is developing good personalities, good relationships and positive relationships.
“Some of the pupils come from backgrounds where they don’t have parents. They come from broken homes.
“So if I can demonstrate to them that I can develop a good enough relationship with somebody and show them genuine love and there’s no pressure on it, if anything, it’s inspiring to them.”
The rugby player opted to go on ‘Love Island’ because he doesn’t want to live a life with any regrets.
“I’ve always sworn in life, I want to live a life that’s like a story. If there are opportunities in life, I’m going to take it…
“I don’t want to live a life with regrets. So, as soon as I realised that this was a genuine opportunity, I thought, you know what, I’ll always regret it if I don’t do it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Martin Kemp has described his stint on ‘The Masked Singer’ with wife Shirlie Kemp as very “nerve-racking”.
The Spandau Ballet star and his spouse – who was a backing singer in Wham! and one half of Pepsi and Shirlie – confessed it was the most “nervous” either of them had ever been performing, despite their decades long music careers.
While on air at Greatest Hits Radio on Sunday (15.01.23), Martin, 61, said: “I’ve never done anything so nerve-racking in my life. I was more nervous. I could literally hear my heart in my ears.”
Martin – who has starred in West End productions like ‘Chicago’ – doesn’t see himself as a great vocalist but loves the “endorphin rush” of singing.
The bassist said: “I’ve never thought of myself as a singer but I love doing it because when you sing at the top of your lungs you get this incredible endorphin rush. That’s why people sing at football and sing in church.”
The former ‘EastEnders’ actor also revealed that it is tough singing in the costume, because you get so hot.
He said: “It’s so much harder to sing in the mask than you imagine it will be. You can only spend three minutes at the most in that mask… it’s so hot.
The pair revealed they went on the Joel Dommett-helmed show to “embarrass” their two children, daughter Harley, 33, and son Roman Kemp, 29.
Roman – who hosts the Capital FM breakfast show – was disgusted at himself for screeching “take it off” to his parents when the reveal was made on Saturday (14.01.23).
After finding out the top secret news, he tweeted: “ARE YOU F****** JOKING #MaskedSingerUK I JUST SHOUTED THE PHRASE “TAKE IT OFF” TO MY PARENTS I CANT UNDO THAT #MaskedSingerUK.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dominic Brunt used his ‘Emmerdale’ connection to convince John Henshaw to star in ‘Wolf Manor’.
The 52-year-old actor – who has played Paddy in the ITV since 1997 – worked as the director on the British horror, which stars the ‘Early Doors’ actor as a pub landlord who warns a vampire film crew heading to an abandoned house in the English moors to leave while they can.
The writers Joel Ferrari and Pete Wild suggested Henshaw, 72, for the role at the start of production on the werewolf flick and so Brunt called up his former ‘Emmerdale’ co-star to convince him to take the part with the promise of a driver and an easy day’s work.
Henshaw played Ezra Dingle – Zak Dingle’s brother – on the series back in 1999 when Brunt was a couple of years into his still on-going stint as vet Paddy.
Brunt said: “John Henshaw was brilliant. We would have liked to have got him in more.
“I knew John from years ago when he was a Dingle, he played Ezra Dingle, so I went, ‘I know John, I’ll just ask him.’ I said, ‘If we get you a car from your house in Manchester and get you down here for the night, get your stuff filmed, you’ll be back in bed that same night.’ That was really lucky.”
‘Wolf Manor’ also stars James Fleet – famous for his roles in ‘The Vicar of Dibley’, ‘Father Brown’ and ‘Kevin and Perry Go Large’ among other parts.
Fleet, 70, portrays Oliver Lawrence, an aging stage and screen actor who became famous for playing a vampire in several low-budget horrors which have achieved cult status in east Asia, a fact which the fictional film crew are trying to cash in on.
Brunt admits that he and the writers instantly thought Fleet would be the perfect performer to bring Lawrence to life and they were delighted when they were able to land their first choice actor for the role.
He said: “James Fleet was the first person they thought of and he was the first person we asked and he said yes straight away, it usually doesn’t work like that at all.
“They kept saying, ‘We need somebody like James Fleet.’ So I was like, ‘We should just ask James Fleet.’ I really liked the script when I read it, I thought it was really funny, and I knew why they were thinking of James Fleet.”
As well as Fleet and Henshaw ‘Wolf Manor also stars Jay Taylor and Thaila Zucchi, with Morgan Rees-Davies playing The Beast, a killer lycanthrope on the hunt.
