OHMYGOSSIP — Oti Mabuse hasn’t ruled out doing ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional and ‘Dancing on Ice’ judge has said she’d consider taking part in the ITV jungle show if it “feels right” at the time.
She told Metro.co.uk: “I would never say never to anything because you don’t know what’s going to happen, especially when you have different shows.
“I work on different channels, and you don’t know what opportunities.
“I would never close any door, if it works and it feels right then I’ll do it at that moment.”
Meanwhile, the TV star has found a new gig after her previous hosting endeavour ‘Romeo and Duet’ was axed after one series.
Oti is to present a new game show called ‘The Tower’, which is described as unlike anything else on TV.
It is being brought to life by the same production company that delivers hits such as ‘Escape To The Chateau’, which airs on Channel 4.
In an appeal for contestants, producers said: “Star of ‘Strictly’, ‘Dancing on Ice’ and ‘The Masked Dancer’ Oti Mabuse is looking for outgoing, lively and knowledgeable teams of two to be part of a TV quiz show first – ‘The Tower’.
“Set in a unique world, your general knowledge, strategic thinking and judgement will be tested to the max in this exciting new game.
“Teams of friends, family, colleagues or partners battle to win a cash prize. Be part of something extraordinary.”
This comes after Oti’s previous stint hosting ‘Romeo and Duet’ was not renewed for a second series after suitors looking to woo a potential date via Shakespearean serenading failed to become a TV sensation.
An insider explained: “The feeling was that it wasn’t a case of Oti not being right for the show, more that the show wasn’t right for Oti.
“We’ve seen on ‘The Masked Dancer’ just how her infectious energy and humour works best in a less-scripted, more conversational setting.
“As host of a quiz show, Oti will have the chance to banter with contestants as well as use her presence to hold the show together.
“Everyone is very excited about ‘The Tower’.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Kate and Koji’ has been axed.
The ITV` sitcom – which stars ‘Vera’ actress Brenda Blethyn as acerbic seaside cafe owner Kate who strikes up an unlikely friendship with asylum seeker doctor Koji – first aired in 2020 and returned for a second series earlier this year but the broadcaster has confirmed that no more episodes are in the pipeline.
An ITV spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Mirror newspaper: “We’ve loved having ‘Kate and Koji’ on the channel but after two series there are currently no plans for a third. We would like to thank all the cast and crew for their hard work in bringing these characters alive on screen and in the studio in front of a live audience.”
The series – which was created by ‘Outnumbered’ writers Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton – also starred ‘Inbetweeners’ actor Blake Harrison as Brenda’s long-suffering nephew Dan, Barbara Flynn as Brenda’s nemesis Councillor Bone and saw ‘Ted Lasso’ take on the role of Koji, before he was replaced by Okorie Chukwu for the show’s second outing.
Other comedies said to be coming up on ITV in 2023 include the likes of ‘The Family Pile’, which follows four sisters selling up the family home following the death of their parents, as well as ‘Changing Ends’, an autobiographical series based on the life of comedian Alan Carr.
Brenda previously explained that it was “quite challenging” to play such an “abrasive character” but thought the premise was “lovely” because it allowed for “ordinary people” to take centre stage.
She said: “Kate is more outspoken than me, definitely! She’s prickly, whereas I’m a pussycat who is putty in anyone’s hands. It’s quite challenging playing someone like that, but enjoyable to be abrasive now and again. It’s great!. I grew up in that sort of town and I know those caffs and I know the people who work in those caffs. It’s nice to have those people you wouldn’t normally see on TV take centre stage. The leading characters in this story are ordinary people, people who are struggling to make ends meet. For them to find a place of refuge in this caff with all its trials and tribulations, I think, is quite lovely.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Masked Singer’ will feature duets in the next series.
The ITV1 secret singing competition – which sees stars disguise themselves to croon for judges Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross and Rita Ora to guess their true identity – wants to add a new element to the show by adding regular pair performances, something already done before with Arsenal FC legend David Seaman and his wife Frankie Poultney.
An insider told the Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Having duets on The Masked Singer is a big change which could open the door to having groups on the show.”
It is a move copied from the US edition of the show – which has featured 90s band Hanson appearing in their trio form – as the bosses want to keep the format “fresh” as the Joel Dommett-fronted show has been running since 2020.
They continued: “This is a pattern we’ve seen on the US version, where they have had duets appearing for some time.
“That has led to the creation of even crazier costumes, some featuring two singers inside one outfit.
“It has also seen groups included in the line-up, including MMMBop singers Hanson who last year appeared as Russian dolls.
“Producers on the UK show are keen to keep the format fresh now it has become an established part of the schedules and they see this as the perfect way.
According to the source, the move is thought to make it “harder” for everyone to suss out who is and if there is a “link” between the people under the costumes.
They said: “It will also make it harder for the judges to guess who the disguised stars are as they will have to distinguish between two voices.
“They will also have to work out what the link is between the two people, assuming there is one.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby has offered some tips for people experiencing “sexual problems”.
The ‘This Morning’ presenter hosted a blog post from a sexpert Amy White on her lifestyle brand Wylde Moon’s webpage.
The 41-year-old star wrote in the introduction to the post on her website on Thursday (17.11.2022): “Up to half of women will experience some kind of sexual problem at some point in our lives…ranging from a lack of desire, to finding sex uncomfortable or unsatisfying. But it doesn’t have to be that way.”
“From having a low sex drive, struggling to orgasm, feeling uncomfortable or tired or not being able to communicate your needs, Amy has advice.”
Amy claims the “number one rule” is to prioritise “pleasure” in the bedroom by trying out some solo routes to sexual nirvana.
She said: “The number one rule is to step away from the goal of orgasm. I call this the ‘pleasure not pressure’ technique. Focus on sensations in your body – this could be alone at first, or with your partner – find out what you enjoy.”
Amy detailed how some people “pretend to feel a certain way,” but believes faking it until you make it often means you are more likely to deny yourself a real orgasm. To those who struggle to reach climax, Amy advised people to “detach themselves from the reality” and communicate if they are not liking what their partner is doing.
Amy wrote: “In most cases, in order to orgasm there has to be a feeling of trust and safety.”
Holly – who has daughter Belle,11, and sons Harry, 13 and Chester, eight, with her television producer husband Dan Baldwin, 47 – launched the website in 2021 as she is “obsessed” with all things celestial.
At launch, she said: “I’ve always been fascinated with the moon, space, shooting stars and looking up. On holiday, I spend more time on the sun lounger at night than during the day, the moon is always there – like the sun– no matter where you are in the world.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Will Mellor has admitted that taking part in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ doesn’t get “any easier” as the weeks go on.
The 46-year-old actor is currently taking part in the BBC Latin and ballroom competition – which is due to take place at Blackpool Tower on Saturday (19.11.22) for a special heat of the contest – with professional partner Nancy Xu but explained that even though the journey has been “amazing”, it has still been “tough.”
He said: “My feet are still killing me, my knees are wrecked, we are all tired . It’s an amazing experience but it’s tough at the same time. All of us are improving week on week because we have a bit of experience in the competition. But it doesn’t get any easier.”
On Saturday’s show, the ‘Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps’ star is planning to dance the samba to the song ‘I Go to Rio’ from the musical ‘The Boy from Oz’ – which is based on the life of singer and songwriter Peter Allen and traces his marriage to Liza Minnelli – and teased that he will be pulling out his “inner camp” for the performance.
He told The Daily Mirror newspaper: “It’s like a fabulous Rio carnival we are bringing to Blackpool. After last week we can have some fun and celebrate. I’ll be bringing out the inner camp in me. As a Northerner, performing in Blackpool is massive!”
Meanwhile, Will is also set to reprise his role as drug lord Harvey Gaskell in ITV1 soap opera ‘Coronation Street’ and explained that he decided to return to the street to he could share a “message” about why people like his character behave the way they do.
He said: “I wouldn’t have done it if it was going to weaken the character in any way because I think what we did with it last time was enough. But what I did like is, let’s explain a little bit why these people behave the way they behave. It’s interesting to dive into that. I don’t want Harvey to suddenly get out of prison and be running the Rovers Return. What I want is for Harvey to be real and a message to go out there that there are people like this, grooming kids, who don’t care about them or their families.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Josie Gibson says her son talks to the ghosts of his grandparents.
The 37-year-old presenter is mum to four-year-old Reggie James with ex-partner Terry and explained she had been on an away on a ghoulish trip as part of ‘This Morning’ and when she returned, the little one told her he could see a ghost.
She said: “I went to this haunted house with This Morning called the Ancient Ram Inn – one of the most haunted places in the world. The energy there is weird – there was something you could feel. When I got home the next day I was in bed with Reg and he said: ‘Mummy, there’s a ghost next to me.'”
The former ‘Big Brother’ star then asked whether the ghost was “nice” and was shocked to learn that it was that of her late father, who died when she was a child herself.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: “I said: ‘Is it a nice ghost or a not nice ghost? He said it was nice and then: ‘Mummy, he’s behind you now. He’s so nice because he’s your dad. My dad died when I was really young but I’ve never had a conversation about my dad with my son. Reg said: ‘He told me to tell you he loves you very much’.”
Josie then asked the tot who else he had contact with and she explained that he had spoken to his paternal grandfather about burning a boat, an incident which turned out to be true when she spoke to her ex.
She added: “I said: ‘Who else have you been talking to?’ Reg said: ‘I’ve been talking to daddy’s dad and he told me he loved burning the boat’. When I spoke to Reggie’s dad the next day I asked if his dad had anything to do with burning a boat. He said years ago he got so fed up of keeping his boat together that he burnt it down. Is that not the weirdest thing you’ve ever heard in your life?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Vanessa Feltz has urged ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ viewers not to “confuse” Matt Hancock “the politician with Matt Hancock the performer”.
The TV and radio presenter has hit out at the former Health Secretary, who was suspended as a Tory MP after it was revealed he had signed up for the ITV show, for taking part in the programme, insisting it isn’t a way for him to “secure redemption”.
She said: “Don’t confuse Hancock the politician with Hancock the performer. Don’t forget he’s been spectacularly caught on camera already.
“Winning over celeb pals and convincing viewers you’re not as repellent as you appeared, when on your best behaviour and aware there’s a lens pointing right at you, is no way to secure earthly redemption.”
Matt previously came under fire after he was caught kissing his aide Gina Coladangelo – who is now his girlfriend – amid the COVID-19 pandemic, going against his own social distancing guidance.
Vanessa believes the 44-year-old MP should “truly seek forgiveness” from his wife and kids.
Writing in her Daily Express newspaper column, she added: “If you truly seek forgiveness seek it from your wife and children.
“If you want rehabilitation, meet the families bereaved by COVID still seeking explanations for the decisions that robbed them of their loved ones.
“Let no one be foolish enough to think a stint playing silly games on the small screen achieves any semblance of a worthwhile resurrection.”
Last week, Matt admitted on the show he wanted “forgiveness” after breaking his own lockdown guidance.
He said: “No I did not break any lockdown rules. I didn’t break any law! Guidance is guidance but it was my guidance, that’s why … it was a mistake because I fell in love with somebody. It’s true!
“In a way, lots of the campmates ask questions that the public has got as well so it’s only respectful to give straight and truthful answers. That’s why I’m apologising for it.
“It’s bigger than just a sorry. Well, there you go and that’s one of the reasons that I regret it as much as I do.
“The pandemic as a whole, I’m much more robust in my defence of it. PPE for instance, of course, I saw what happened too but that’s because we needed masses more PPE and so did everybody else in the world. There’s reasons so much was taken. And ultimately, those problems were caused by the virus and not the people who were trying to solve the problem.
“What I’m really looking for is a bit of forgiveness. That’s what I’m really looking for. We all make mistakes. I made a pretty big one.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Keith Lemon goes for “ego strolls” if he needs a boost.
The ‘Celebrity Juice’ star is known for wearing loud clothes, and the 49-year-old comedian – whose real name is Leigh Francis – sometimes enjoys going out in a particular garish outfit so that he gets recognised, because it makes him “feel better”.
He said: “My Mrs will often say ‘is that what you’re going to wear? We’re only going to Sainsbury’s and I’m sure we’re gonna get recognised.’
“Oh right well, then it’s an ego shop then isn’t it. Sometimes I go for an ego stroll.
“Yeah, in the loudest clothes and people just go ‘oh hey Keith hey’ and you just feel better afterwards.
“Sometimes you just wanna go unknown, but I don’t think I’ve got any regular clothes and again I look weirder in normal clothes.”
Keith insists he no longer cares what people think about him and he accepts that there are always those who will “despise” him, but he has “got used to it” over the years.
Asked about his feelings about what others think of him, he told the ‘Get It On with Dawn O’Porter’ podcast: “I don’t give a s*** really. I don’t care anymore.
“No, I don’t care. I posted something today and it was me talking to David Cameron but I called him Tony by accident, I was on ‘This Morning’ I went ‘ey up, Tony’. I gave him one of my calendars.
“I used to have calendars out back in the day. And I said that I’m not interested in politics and someone had a right go at me. ‘It’s alright for you because you’re wealthy. It must be lovely to be wealthy and not be interested in politics.’
“But I’ve never been interested in politics. And what the story of what I’m saying is when you’re online and people are giving you grief – f*** yourself with a bag of nettles. I don’t give a s***.
“Yeah, I mean, it’s nice if people are nice to you and if you do read something nasty you do go ‘aww’, because you want to put a smile on people’s face and you don’t want people to hate you, do you?
“But you can only be liked by so many people and then a lot of people will despise you, and you get used to it don’t you? I’m happy though. And I’ve got family so it’s cool. You just go home don’t you, shut the door. F*** off all of you. But please buy whatever I’ve got out and watch whatever’s on telly, please.”
Episodes of ‘Get It On with Dawn O’Porter’ are available every Tuesday from November 16th on Global Player and other podcast platforms.
Listen to the podcast weekly on a Tuesday on Global Player or wherever you get your podcasts.

OHMYGOSSIP — Olivia Bentley says marriage and children with Tristan Phipps are “on the cards”.
The ‘Made in Chelsea’ star, 27, was previously in a relationship with her 24-year-old co-star from 2020 to 2021, before the couple called it quits.
But in August, the pair rekindled their romance during a night out at Raffles nightclub in Chelsea, and have since moved in together, and they are now looking forward to the prospect of tying the knot and settling down with kids.
She said: “I’d love a ring on my finger. We do speak about it. I don’t know if I’m in a rush to have kids yet. I do want them, but probably not in the next year. But I mean, I’d love to get engaged.
“I think some guys get a bit nervous talking about that sort of thing but we’ve very much discussed our future. We’ll be together and marriage and kids will be on the cards.”
However, this is not the first time the couple have lived together.
The pair attempted to live with each other during the pandemic, but they “struggled”.
Speaking about their living arrangement now, Olivia told MailOnline: “It’s actually been really good, shockingly. I mean … the day we moved in, there was nearly a break up!
“But no, it’s been really nice. I think he’s a hoarder. He had boxes and boxes of just rubbish and I was like, ‘I need to put my foot down about this.’
“He just needs things from his … like he’s trying to move all his tinfoil and his cling film. And I was like, ‘We don’t need that!’ Lots of strange things.
“But then he does hold onto very sweet things. Like if I’ve ever written him a little note. He’ll hold on to it.
“I write little notes just saying I’m sorry because I’ve probably done something. I’m trying to think… finishing the milk. Just silly things.”
