OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Wolfe’, which stars Amanda Abbington, has been axed.
The Sky Max crime drama – in which Amanda played forensic scientist Dot alongside Babou Ceesay’s pathologist alter ego Professor Wolfe Kinteh – will not be back for a second season, despite last year’s six-part debut proving to be a ratings success.
The reason why there will not be more episodes is because ‘Guerrilla’ actor Babou has reportedly “declined the opportunity to film more”.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “Ceesay declined the opportunity to film more episodes, despite series one proving both a ratings and critical success.
“As the show’s titular star, it was felt the series couldn’t proceed without him.”
‘Wolfe’ was written by a team led by ‘Shameless’ creator Paul Abbott and the cast also contained Natalia Tena, Naomi Yang, Adam Long and Shaniqua Okwok.
The show followed Professor Wolfe Kinteh, who is recognised as the finest crime scene investigator in Northern England. A genius when it comes to piecing together evidence, but prone to being a liability.
Wolfe was joined by a team that includes child prodigy Maggy (Yang), middle-aged single mother Dot (Abbington), entomologist Steve (Long) and new recruit Dominique (Okwok).
Adrian Shergold and Sean Spencer directed the series with Emma Burge producing.

OHMYGOSSIP — Former ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’ star James Dreyfus says social media is destroying the acting business.
The 52-year-old comedic actor – most famous for playing aspiring actor Tom Farrell in the BBC sitcom opposite Kathy Burke – trained at London drama school RADA (Royal Academy of Dramatic Art), the institution that launched the careers of the late Sir Roger Moore, Sally Hawkins, Glenda Jackson, Ben Whishaw, Tom Hiddleston among many more.
Dreyfus insists when he attended it was an “anarchic” school where performers were encouraged to try anything, but now he believes the institution has been overrun by social media-obsessed snowflakes, and this is producing less exciting and talented actors.
He told the My Time Capsule podcast: “RADA was everything I expected it to be, it was anarchic, it was rough and you could do anything in rehearsals. And now with the sensitivity being taught, I couldn’t stand it, I wouldn’t go. It’s changed so much.”
Dreyfus, whose TV break came in 1990s sitcom ‘Absolutely Fabulous’, is also dismayed by the trend for auditions conducted over Zoom and castings being made based on how many social media followers an actor has.
‘The Thin Blue Line’ star – who has almost 75,000 followers on Twitter – says the industry needs to get back to where it was before modern society’s obsession with technology.
He added: “Auditions — I have never in my life got a job from a cell phone. Never. And I always think, I’m spending an hour doing this, I’m getting a little bit tired.
“I know when I’m walking into a room whether I’m nervous and it’s showing, or whether I’m confident and it’s not. But you cannot do anything extraordinary on a Zoom call. I don’t understand it.
“We have moved into a sort of authoritarian and divided world. it’s all to do with the failed social media experiment. If you put a computer in every child’s hand what do you think is going to happen? Do you know the employees who work at Apple, not one of them give their children the phone until they’re 16. Why? Because they know.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Boy George came out after children called him a “girl” growing up.
The Culture Club singer, 61, told his ‘I’m A Celebrity’ campmates on Monday night’s episode (21.11.22) his realisation he was gay was “gradual”, but said he dressed as a nun on a night out during his “outrageous” teens – and bumped into a group of real nuns on the London Underground while in his costume.
George added: “I find it’s more other people ask about it, I’m busy being myself. They often ask, ‘When did you know you were gay?’ It was kind of gradual I think. For me it was other kids calling me a girl… ‘You’re a girl’.”
George added in the Bush Telegraph said: “I have no problem with people asking me when did I know I was gay because I can’t answer it. It’s such a weird question. The difference is that when you’re a gay kid or trans or whatever, no-one really prepares for your arrival.”
And he said at the creek: “I knew if I announced it I’d be immediately unpopular in the playground, but inside of me, I absolutely thought it was totally normal and this is what’s meant to be.”
George also said David Bowie helped him be himself, adding: “I think, for me, Bowie was the beginning of me going, ‘Oh my god, I’m not alone.’ It didn’t matter whether he was gay, straight or bisexual, he was a massive role model.
“When I was 16/17 I was outrageous… this one time I went out as a nun. When we got on the Tube there were real nuns on the tTube. I was sitting eating a packet of cheese and onion crisps, dressed as a nun with the most amazing make-up. They knew I wasn’t a nun!”
Meanwhile, Owen Warner, 23, took on the ‘Boiling Point: The Return’ trial.
Explaining the rules for actor Owen, host Ant McPartlin said: “have to enter the boiler room and retrieve the set of four spanners. You’re going to use those spanners to find nine stars that are hidden within the boiler room and the underground network of pipes.
“Now, once you get a star, pop it in your star bag, this is important, only stars in the star bag at the end of time will count.”
Entering a room with two pythons in it, Owen said: “I didn’t even see that!”
When he reached another area with more snakes Owen said: “Oh hello! Oh my days…oh stay away from me.”
He unscrewed the stars and finished the Trial with all nine stars and time to spare.
Owen told Ant and co-host Declan Donnelly: “Nice one! It was alright you know. The size of that snake! The girth on it, jeez.”
Returning to camp triumphant, he yelled: “We eating good tonight!”
In the Bush Telegraph Owen said: “I’m going to miss a lot of things about this jungle experience but walking back with good news to a group of hungry people – it’s the best feeling ever.”
‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ continues tomorrow (22.11.22) at 9pm on ITV1 and ITV Hub.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sue Cleaver is the third ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ contestant to leave the jungle.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress, 59, showed she was thrilled her time on the show was over when she was evicted on Monday night, (21.11.22) saying she was relieved she wouldn’t have to face any more trials and hated the feeling of not having control of her life.
She told hosts Ant and Dec: “You can stuff your trials where the sun don’t shine. I’ve absolutely had enough. It’s having absolutely no control over your whole life and that is weird.
“I had the ride of my life but I’m glad it ended there because you don’t want to see ‘Bad Sue’.”
Sue had faced criticism from viewers for only taking part in trials where all of the campmates were required to.
Presenter Scarlette Douglas, 35, was the second campmate to leave the jungle hours after ‘Loose Women’ anchor Charlene White, 42, was the first celebrity to be evicted from this year’s show.
Scarlette said she was the “underdog” in the series as this year’s famous faces include singer Boy George, telling The Sun: “I’ve always come in here as an underdog. I’ve got the least profile of anybody else, you know, not everybody knows who I am. Hopefully they do now!
“So I was never going to get the most votes. You know, even if you’re just looking at something like Instagram, I always have the least amount of followers.
“If I go by something like that. I’m not going to get all the votes. So for me, all I could have done in the jungle was do my best and hope that people liked me and hoped that people voted for me.
“But people aren’t voting for me to leave – they’re voting for who their favourites are and if I’m not their favourite there’s nothing I can do about that. I just have to be true to me.
“Be authentic and just enjoy the experience and when my time comes, my time comes wherever it is.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sue Cleaver’s ‘Coronation Street’ co-stars have “been loving” her on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here’.
The 59-year-old actress – who plays Eileen Grimshaw on the long-running soap – has spent the last two weeks living in the Australian jungle on the ITV reality show and her colleagues who also work on the cobbles are really getting into watching her alongside her fellow campmates Charlene White, Chris Moyles and Mike Tindall.
Ellie Leach – the 21-year-old actress who stars as Faye Windass – told the Daily Star newspaper: “We’ve been loving Sue.”
Colson Tinker – the actor behind Craig Tinker – agreed, telling the outlet: “Sue is coming across really well.”
The 24-year-old soap star also spilled that Sue is “a good influence” to the cast and crew and send her love.
Colson said: “She really is a good influence for us in the Street and that’s what she’s doing in the jungle. We’re all rooting for her.”
Sue has been joined in the jungle by former health secretary Matt Hancock and she joked about the need to “plan a revolution” after quipping he spends “all day sleeping”.
She said: “It’s come to my attention he’s there all day sleeping.
I don’t think he’s showing leadership qualities. It’s not what the people need. I think we need to plan a revolution.”
“He just sits on his red chair, I’ve not heard him talk to any of his ministers about their role and how it’s going in the job so I don’t think that can carry on for very much longer. Watch this space.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Tomlinson does not want to see an ‘X Factor’ reboot.
The ex-One Direction star – who shot to international fame on the ITV singing competition alongside his bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne in 2010 – thinks the Simon Cowell-created programme should stay away for a bit longer even though he is still a “massive fan” of the format.
The 30-year-old singer told the Metro newspaper’s Guilty Pleasures column: “Let me be completely honest about this – and, maybe, I shouldn’t – in my opinion, it needs a bit of a longer rest. I’m a massive fan. You see so many shows come back that we grew up with, and there is a real excitement.”
Louis explained his belief that the contest – which also launched the showbiz careers of Rylan Clark, Diana Vickers, Janet Devlin, Leona Lewis, Little Mix, Olly Murs, Lucy Spraggan, and many others during its run between 2004 and 2018 – hasn’t been off air for “long enough” but admitted that he might not know everything about the telly industry.
He said: “I just don’t think it has been away long enough. But who am I to say that?!”
Simon – who also has created the ‘Got Talent’ franchise which is in hundreds of countries all over the world – revealed that people are telling him how much they are “wanting” it to be revived.
The 62-year-old music mogul said: “The funny thing is that when young people approach me on the street, all they want to know is when X Factor is coming back. They all watch it on YouTube. When we stopped the show, I genuinely thought there was no need for it — that everyone would be signed from YouTube. But there are so many people wanting to be signed that we could use that extra platform.”
Louis – who is currently in a chart battle for No. 1 with music legend Bruce Springsteen for his second solo LP ‘Faith in the Future’ – shared about the emotional “weight” that provided inspiration for his first record ‘Walls’.
In 2020, He said: “There was a weight to it, emotionally, which was right for me at the time. But it’s not how I carry myself as a person.
“I was excited to go into this record and make exactly what I want, without worrying about what I “should” be doing… being brave enough to go, “Well, this is exactly who I am, take it or leave it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — A BBC Radio 2 listener branded Matt Hancock a “****” in a live call with DJ Sara Cox.
The caller, introduced as Jesse from Devon, called into Sara Cox’s All Request Friday drivetime show and blurted out the four-letter expletive about the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ contestant – who served as the UK’s Health Secretary during the coronavirus pandemic – as he asked for the song ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ by Queen.
Asked to introduce his song by Sara, the listener said: “We’re playing ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ by Queen because Matt Hancock’s a ****.”
The shocked 47-year-old broadcaster stepped in and apologised to listeners for the foul language.
Sara said: “OK, so we’ve got cut him off there. This is live radio this kind of thing happens. I can only apologise if you’ve got children listening. I’m going to play the tune. Huge apologies, it is live and here’s the song.”
Hancock’s appearance on the ITV reality show has caused controversy and a banner was recently flown above the set in Australia imploring the Conservative MP to “get out” of the jungle.
Campaign group 38 Degrees have claimed responsibility for the message, which read “Covid Bereaved say get out of here”, on behalf of the group COVID-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK.
Matthew McGregor, chief executive of 38 Degrees, said: “No-one has forgotten how Matt Hancock conducted himself during the Covid-19 pandemic: not the general public, not his campmates, and certainly not those who lost loved ones.
“Our message emblazoned across the skies makes crystal clear to Matt Hancock: you should be representing the people of West Suffolk and giving Covid Bereaved Families the answers they deserve, rather than playing games for dingo dollars, plastic stars and a [reported] £400,000 pay check.”
Hancock was suspended by the Conservative party earlier this month after it was announced that he would be appearing on the programme.
Adulterous Hancock was forced to resign as Health Secretary in June 2021 for breaking his own social distancing guidelines after he was caught kissing aide Gina Coladangelo, who is now his girlfriend.

OHMYGOSSIP — Millie Gibson will be the new companion on ‘Doctor Who’.
The 18-year-old actress – who is best known for playing Kelly Neelan in ‘Coronation Street’ – is set to star alongside Ncuti Gatwa on the BBC show.
Millie – who has landed the role of Ruby Sunday, the Doctor’s new companion – said: “Whilst still being in total disbelief, I am beyond honoured to be cast as the Doctor’s companion.
“It is a gift of a role, and a dream come true, and I will do everything to try and fill the boots the fellow companions have travelled in before me. And what better way to do that than being by the fabulous Ncuti Gatwa’s side, I just can’t wait to get started.”
Ncuti, 30, is similarly excited to work with Millie.
The actor – who was confirmed as the new Doctor in May – shared: “Millie just is the companion. She is full of talent, strength, she has a cheeky sparkle in her eye and is sharp as a razor.
“From the moment she walked into the room she captured all of our attention with her effervescence and then solidified that attention with the sheer torque of her talent. This adventure is going to be so wild and so fun, I cannot wait to sail the universe with Millie!”
Meanwhile, Russell T Davies – the ‘Doctor Who’ showrunner – watched Millie during her time on ‘Coronation Street’ and he’s confident that she’ll be a huge success on the sci-fi show.
He said: “It’s the great honour of my job to find the next generation of talent, and Millie shines like a star already. She’s brilliant, dynamic, clever and a wonderful actor.
“As a ‘Coronation Street’ fan, I’ve seen Millie survive chases, guns and sieges, but that’s nothing compared to what lies ahead for Ruby Sunday.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlene White has been voted off ‘I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’.
The 42-year-old broadcaster has become the first camp mate on this year’s series to be voted off the ITV show by members of the public.
After her fate was confirmed, Charlene said: “It’s been a journey and I absolutely loved living with those guys – they were brilliant.”
During her time in the jungle, Matt Hancock – the former health secretary – was questioned about his affair during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reflecting on the awkward conversation, Charlene said: “I have to remain impartial as journalism is my first job.”
Matt, 44, resigned as health secretary after news of the affair emerged, and it’s something that he’s been reminded of during his time in the jungle.
Earlier in the episode, Boy George admitted that he was struggling to look past Matt’s behaviour during the pandemic.
He said: “Can’t stand Matt. I have tried to like him and I’ve failed. I find him slimy, I find him slippery.”
The 61-year-old star also confronted Matt about his frustrations.
He told the politician: “I’ll be honest with you, I think your presence has made everyone very compliant.”
Matt then said: “Compliant, it’s a funny word.”
The pop star subsequently tried to clarify his feelings.
He explained: “I have been hating on you, I have to be honest. I sometimes feel like you don’t say what you mean and you’re not particularly direct.”
The ‘Karma Chameleon’ hitmaker admitted that he struggled to draw a distinction between Matt’s political past and the man that he’s met in the jungle.
He shared: “I’m trying to separate you as a human being and you as a politician and I’m struggling with it. We don’t share the same politics.”
‘I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ – watch the next live episode tomorrow at 9.10pm on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player.

OHMYGOSSIP — AJ Pritchard and Zara Zoffany have split up.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ pro and the influencer are said to have called time on their romance, less than two months after they started dating.
The pair met while filming MTV show ‘The Challenge’ but a source claimed that Zara quickly grew “bored” of AJ, 28, and dumped him.
The source told The Sun newspaper: “AJ was totally smitten with Zara but as time went on she got bored of him.
“It was all very intense on ‘The Challenge’ and they fell for one another. But outside in the real world when they started dating it was all very different.
“Zara is really outgoing and she thought AJ had changed. She really wasn’t happy and ended it.”
The insider added: “AJ was hurt of course but it was for the best.”
Meanwhile, AJ’s former girlfriend, Abbie Quinnen, previously revealed he dumped her after she caught him texting another woman.
Abbie – who was left badly burned when a YouTube stunt went wrong in January 2021 – told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “I’m completely devastated and my world has fallen apart.
“AJ isn’t the person I thought he was. After everything I went through with him I thought we would be together for ever. He has been the biggest disappointment to me.”
Abbie insisted everything was normal until he flew out to South America for ‘The Challenge’.
She said: “AJ was nervous about going away to film as he wasn’t able to prepare for it as much as other ones he had done like ‘I’m A Celebrity’ and ‘Celebrity SAS’.
“Before he left we had a really emotional goodbye. We hugged for hours and shed tears.
“I knew we weren’t going to see each other for three weeks so I went on holiday with my family.
“At first we were FaceTiming every day, like normal, then he had the phone taken away from him to do the TV show….
“When he eventually got his phone back he seemed different. He wasn’t calling as much and seemed distracted.”
It was then Abbie noticed he was messaging someone else, who she wouldn’t name, and was horrified with his “cold” response when she called him out.
She continued: “Then I noticed he was on his phone quite a bit and that he was messaging a girl who had been on the show with him.
“I only caught a glimpse of the message but it was along the lines of, ‘I need to talk to you, can we meet tomorrow?’
“I thought we were madly in love and in the space of a few hours he was messaging someone else and my world was turned upside down.”
