OHMYGOSSIP — Boy George has revealed he underwent a hair transplant after going bald.
The Culture Club star is currently appearing on ITV reality show ‘I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!’ and during Sunday night’s (13.11.22) episode, he opened up about his new head of hair and revealed he was inspired to go under the knife by former footballer Wayne Rooney who is said to have spent around £30,000 on procedures over the years.
He made the confession after England footballer Jill Scott complimented him on his luscious locks when he removed his hat, and Boy George told her: “My hair is a transplant”.
The star added he had it done “at the hair transplant shop,” before explaining: “I was bald. Do you know what made me do it? Wayne Rooney.”
The singer went on: “Why do you think that is funny? It’s the truth. I saw Wayne Rooney’s hair and I thought I could actually get my hair done.”
Comedian Seann Walsh then joked: “It’s like you’re rebuilding yourself” and George replied: “I am Darth Vader.”
George is competing in the ITV show alongside the UK’s former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, and the singer previously admitted he struggled to see the politician in the jungle as he blames him for how the government handled the COVID-19 pandemic.
The star’s mother Dinah was seriously ill in hospital during the pandemic and he was not allowed to visit her, and George broke down in tears when he realised Hancock had joined the show.
George told co-star Scarlette Douglas: “You know, beginning of the pandemic my mum was in hospital. I wasn’t allowed to see her. I thought she was going to die.
“I was tweeting Greenwich hospital going, ‘Please look after my mum.’ I used my name, I was like, ‘Please look after my mum.’ And they did, she was fine … I feel like, I don’t want to be sitting here like I’m having fun with him.”
George went on to insist that if his mum had died in hospital, he would have quit the show as soon as Hancock arrived in camp.
He added: “It’s difficult for me because, you know, had something happened, if my mum had gone, I wouldn’t be here now. I would have gone when he walked in.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Escape to the Country’ host Jonnie Irwin was told he had six months to live.
The 48-year-old father-of-three has revealed he was diagnosed with lung cancer in August 2020, which spread to his brain, and has spoken for the first time publicly about the devasting prognosis and how he’s remaining positive for his family.
The TV star knew something wasn’t right when he was filming ‘A Place in the Sun’ in Italy, where he was experiencing blurred vision while driving, and he came home to find out he was terminally ill.
He told HELLO!: “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 – who has sons Rex, three, and two-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac with his wife Jess, 40 – only has one item on his bucket list; to spend as much time making memories with his family as possible.
He 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.”
Jonnie is heartbroken that his young boys will grow up without properly getting to know their father.
He added: “I set little markers – things I want to be around for. I got into the habit of saying: ‘Don’t plan ahead because I might not be well enough.’
“But now I want to make plans. I want to make memories and capture these moments with my family because the reality is, my boys are going to grow up not knowing their dad and that breaks my heart.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kristina Rihanoff and Ben Cohen are engaged.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional and the ex-rugby player – who were partnered on the 2013 series of the BBC One Latin and ballroom contest and have daughter Mila, six, together – were on a romantic getaway to the Maldives when Ben popped the question.
The 44-year-old hunk had “Will you marry me?” written in the sand for the sweet proposal.
Speaking to HELLO! magazine, the 45-year-old Russian dancer admitted she had no inkling that he was preparing to get down on one knee.
She said: “Although we’d talked before about getting married one day, I hadn’t the slightest idea that Ben was planning this.
“I was overcome with emotion and said ‘Yes, yes and yes’ straight away.
“My first reaction was wow. It was absolutely surreal and I couldn’t believe what was happening.
“I’m usually very perceptive but I didn’t have a clue Ben had been planning this. How he managed to keep it a secret was amazing.”
Even Ben was blown away by how the resort staff pulled everything off.
He told the publication: “I wanted us to go further forward together and taking a holiday in such a beautiful place felt like the perfect moment to do that.
“Setting the scene had to be really special and with the help of members of staff at the resort, we achieved that.
“It was truly incredible and blew me away.”
The blonde beauty then gushed: “After eight years with Ben, our love is stronger than ever.”
The duo went on to address the survival of their relationship through the challenges life has thrown their way.
Kristina said: “It’s easy to love someone when everything’s rosy but it’s a different story when life becomes a challenge.”
Ben – who is also father to teenage twins Harriet and Isabelle from his first marriage to ex-spouse Abbie – added: “Every love story has its honeymoon period but that eventually goes.
“Love has different meanings and for me, that’s a relationship with a partner who’s been through difficult times with me and together we move forward.
“She’s the person I want in my life forever.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tony Adams was reportedly struggling to walk before he quit ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 56-year-old former footballer was among the famous faces taking part in this year’s season of the hit BBC talent show, but he dramatically pulled out on Sunday night’s (13.11.22) show after landing in the dance off with his partner Katya Jones – citing an injury as the reason he couldn’t continue.
Now it’s been revealed he was reportedly in a lot of pain by the time Saturday’s (12.11.22) dances came to an end. A source told DailyMail.com: “Something was wrong, something was going on. He was struggling to walk and was holding his leg.”
A show insider added to the publication: “After finding out he would be facing the dance off, Tony had a chat with producers and stated that both he and the physio were concerned that dancing the jive again in the dance off could cause further injury and he had therefore decided he would instead withdraw from the competition.”
No more details about his injury were revealed, but Tess Daly explained on Sunday’s results show: “Due to an injury sustained on Saturday night, Tony is unable to take part in the dance-off and has decided to withdraw from the competition. This means there will be no dance off tonight and Tyler [West] and Dianne [Buswell] are through to Blackpool.”
Just before leaving the stage, Tony remarked that he had been on an “emotional journey” on the show and urged others to speak out about their mental health because he “cried for the first month” of the competition but has “learned so much” about himself. He said: “It’s been emotional guys, I cried for the first month. I came in here with one message, if you’ve got an issue with mental health then please don’t suffer in silence and reach out for help. Little did I know that I was going to learn a lot about myself in the process. I thought this ‘journey’ rubbish was nonsense, but my god the rollercoaster of emotion. I’ve got to be honest, it’s tough, physically it’s really tough out there, but dancing is really fantastic for you. Go out there and enjoy it and pick up new skills and explore. I suppose I had better mention this one [Katya] hadn’t I, she is an exceptional human being, she really is.”

OHMYGOSSIP — AJ Odudu is reportedly in final talks to front the new series of ‘Big Brother’.
The reality TV show has been off-air for six years but is returning to TV next year after bosses at ITV bought the rights and decided to reboot the series with a format believed to be closer to the original social experiment which first aired in the UK on Channel 4 back in 2000.
Now AJ is said to be in the running to take over as presenter with a source telling The Sun newspaper: “AJ has been offered the Big Brother job and jumped at the opportunity. It’s a huge boost to her career.
“AJ and ITV are still ironing out details in her contract but she has told a lot of people the job is hers.”
The 34-year-old TV star previously hosted ‘Big Brother’ spin-off ‘Bit On The Side’ back in 2013 so fronting the main show will be a major step up.
The Sun reports she saw off competition from previous ‘Big Brother’ star Alison Hammond as well as actress Emily Atack and Radio 1 DJ Vick Hope to land the hosting gig.
AN ITV spokesperson told the publication: “All suggestions surrounding the host are speculation at this stage.”
‘Big Brother’ was originally hosted by Davina McCall who was the face of the show from 2000 until 2010. Former contestant Brian Dowling took over between 2011 and 2013 before Emma Willis covered the final years until it went off-air in 2018.
After starting on Channel 4, the show later switched to Channel 5 where it ended its run. The 2023 series will be its first on ITV.

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Hancock has been tipped to be the first to leave I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!
The former Health Secretary’s arrival in the jungle has divided both viewers, fellow MPs and the other campmates and audiences at home have been brutal by voting for him to take part in every gruelling Bushtucker trial since he joined the show.
He’s now due to face his sixth sickly challenge after the results of the vote were revealed on Sunday night (13.11.22) and a new report suggests he could be the first to leave. A source told The Mirror: “Things can change quickly in camp, especially if someone was to quit, but at the moment we look all set for evictions to begin from Friday.”
The publication reports the 44-year-old MP could face the axe along with ‘Loose Women’ star Charlene White and ‘A Place In The Sun’ presenter Scarlette Douglas.
The source added: “Currently Charlene, Scarlette and Matt are the favourites to go with bookmakers. If there is a second eviction over the weekend it means there would be two chances for viewers to get Hancock out this week.
“So much has been made of him wanting to look human and how he told the group in camp that he wants our forgiveness. We will find out soon if some people forgive him and if they are willing to vote to save him and keep his jungle journey going.”
The report suggests IAC bosses are planning to air an extended 90-minute show on Friday (18.11.22) which could feature an eviction and an interview with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

OHMYGOSSIP — Paul Hollywood has reportedly become engaged to his girlfriend Melissa Spalding after three years of dating.
‘The Great British bake Off’ star is said to have proposed to Melissa several months ago but they are believed to have been keeping the happy news quiet until recently, according to The Sun.
A source told The publication: “Paul proposed some months ago, but they have been keeping it very quiet since then. It’s only in the past month that she has begun wearing her engagement ring out in public, and sharing their news with friends. There are no wedding plans in place yet.”
Paul, 56, is said to have popped the question to Melissa over Easter.
The TV star was previously married for 19 years to his ex-wife Alexandra, but they divorced in 2019 and he went on to date 26-year-old Summer Monteys-Fullam. That relationship ended in 2019 amid reports he’d asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement and he went on to find love with 38-year-old pub landlady Melissa, who later moved into his country home as they spent time together during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A source previously told DailyMail.com: “Paul and Melissa spent a lot of time together in lockdown. They bubbled up together and stayed at his house. Now she is there for good. They are delightfully happy … ”
Melissa is believed to have been engaged twice before but never married.
The relationship between Paul and Melissa was officially confirmed in late 2019 when a representative for the TV baker said: “‘They are very happily together.”
They later went public with their love by attending a film premiere in London together last year.

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Hancock was showered with bugs and sludge during his ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’ debut.
The 44-year-old politician and comedian Seann Walsh took part in their first Bushtucker Trial, called Beastly Burrows, shortly after entering the jungle.
The duo were required to crawl through dark, muddy tunnels that were filled with insects and sludge in search of stars.
At one point, Matt asked Seann: “Which way do you want me to go?”
The comedy star replied: “I’m not a sat-nav – I don’t know!”
Despite the drama, Matt and Sean still managed to earn six stars for the camp.
Matt – who served as the health secretary during the COVID-19 pandemic – tripped up on the way into the camp and he also received a mixed reception once he arrived.
Boy George revealed that he almost lost his mum during the health crisis and that he wasn’t able to see her when she went into hospital.
He said: “Had I lost her, I would have walked out when he [Matt] came in.”
The controversial politician was subsequently voted to do the next trial, called Tentacles of Terror, by the public.
Meanwhile, Matt recently admitted to being fearful of snakes during his time in the jungle.
However, the politician suggested he wouldn’t be particularly worried about the other challenges on the show.
He said: “I have never come across a snake at close quarters and so I am pretty worried about anything to do with snakes. I am not claustrophobic, or at least I haven’t been found to be, but that’s the thing about ‘I’m a Celebrity’ – it is the unknown.”

The ‘Game of Thrones’ star will take on the lead role in the upcoming six-part series inspired by the true story of the UK’s most notorious jewel thief.
She said in a statement: “I’m so excited to be bringing Joan Hannington’s fascinating life story to screen in Joan.

ITV’s Head of Drama, Polly Hill, commented: “Joan’s story is incredible, making a success of life when the stakes seem stacked against her, by not playing by the rules.

“Ever since I first read Joan’s explosive memoir, I have been desperate to bring her story to screen and I am thrilled to be collaborating once again with the incredibly talented teams at Snowed-In Productions and ITV.
“With the brilliant Richard Laxton at the helm, I cannot wait to get started.”
