OHMYGOSSIP — Ellie Taylor and Tyler West have finished joint-top of the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ leaderboard.
The 38-year-old comedy star and her professional partner Johannes Radebe wowed the judges with their Couple’s Choice routine.
‘Strictly’ judge Motsi Mabuse hailed the performance as her favourite of the night, and the duo were awarded a score of 35 out of a possible 40 points, putting them joint-top of the leaderboard.
They were joined at the summit of the leaderboard by Tyler and his professional partner Dianne Buswell.
The 26-year-old DJ and Dianne, 33, achieved the same score with their Cha Cha Cha routine.
The duo performed their Halloween-themed dance to the sound of ‘Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)’ by Tanz Orchester Klaus Hallen.
By contrast, Paralympic star Ellie Simmonds and her partner Nikita Kuzmin failed to impress the ‘Strictly’ judges.
The duo performed the Foxtrot to ‘Scooby Doo, Where Are You?’ by David Mook and Ben Raleigh.
Their routine left Craig Revel Horwood feeling distinctly underwhelmed, but Motsi suggested it marked an improvement from previous weeks.
Ellie, 27 – who won two gold medals at the Summer Paralympics in 2008 – and Nikita were awarded a score of 29 out of 40.
Elsewhere, James Bye and his partner Amy Dowden also endured a tough night on the dance floor.
The 38-year-old actor and Amy performed the Charleston to ‘Bumble Bee’ by LaVern Baker.
Motsi praised James for allowing his personality to shine through – but she also criticised his footwork.
Ultimately, the duo were awarded a relatively meagre score of 27 out of a possible 40 points.

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Maureen Lipman couldn’t be like her ‘Coronation Street’ character in real life because of cancel culture.
The 76-year-old actress has starred as battleaxe Evelyn Plummer on the ITV soap since 2018 but explained that the acid tongue of her character is a trait that could not be replicated in today’s world and that she is having to “watch herself carefully” these days.
She said: “You can’t be Evelyn in today’s climate You can’t make jokes that I would normally make. I am watching myself carefully. I am not going to be on breakfast television like someone we know telling people they can f*** off. At the same time, I am an intelligent person and I want a better world. I don’t know how I identify and I am watching carefully as to how this plays out because prejudice is prejudice, however you dress it up.”
The ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ star – who was married to playwright Jack Rosenthal from 1973 until his death in 2004 and has Amy, 48, and Adam, 41, with him – went on to describe her ‘Corrie’ character as someone who “speaks her mind” and remarked that her late husband would have “loved” to have seen her in the part.
She told The Sunday People: “I think that’s important because I think in life nobody ever speaks their minds, very rarely. I think it’s great for people to see someone who actually has no membrane between her mouth and her brain and I think everybody would like to be like that but because of social mores you can’t, so she’s a good character. I think Jack would love this character and I have known enough people in my life who are Evelyn!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Janette Manrara thinks it would be “amazing” to become a judge on ‘Strictly Come Dancing.’
The 38-year-old star served as a professional dancer on the BBC Latin and ballroom competition from 2013 until 2020 and now presents spin-off show ‘Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two’ with Rylan Clark, but would “never say never” to the idea of getting a seat on the judging panel alongside the likes of Craig Revel Horwood and Shirley Ballas.
Asked if she would like to become a judge, she said: “Never say never. Don’t get me wrong, think we’ve got an amazing line-up right now. But it would be an amazing opportunity.”
Meanwhile, the former ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ star – who tied the knot with fellow ‘Strictly’ professional dancer Aljaž Škorjanec in 2017 – explained that while there is “a lot of pressure” to look a certain way on television, she has learned to “care less” about her appearance on screen since she turned 30.
She told The Sunday Express’ S Magazine: “Everyone has a thing and I have mine. I forget how lucky I am to have someone like Aljaž, especially when you do a photo shoot and you’re trying on different outfits. He always makes me feel pretty – he’s done that brilliantly since day one. There’s a lot of pressure on anyone who’s on TV to look a certain way. I have felt pressure but since I turned 30 that has dwindled and the older I get, the less I care. There is a transition happening in the beauty world, and I think in television as well. Strictly is the perfect example that you can have anyone of an shape and size.
“What makes ‘Strictly’ so special is that it is so inclusive. There’s someone for everyone and it makes everyone feel seen valued and appreciated.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Harry Redknapp “worried” about his wife when he went on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.’
The 75-year-old football legend has been married to Sandra Harris since 1967 and has sons Mark, 52, and Jamie, 49, with her but became concerned when he took part in – and eventually won – the 2018 series of the jungle-based reality show in Australia because she had just recovered from sepsis and it was the first time she was “pushedinto the limelight.”
He said: “Sandra used to work in a hairdresser’s on Saturdays when I was playing football, which was a good thing. It meant we didn’t have to talk about the game afterwards and we could enjoy a quiet night together. We’ve never really been interested in big parties but love going out for a nice dinner. Sandra only really got pushed into the limelight when I did ‘I’m a Celebrity,’ I was worried about her when I was going in because she had just recovered from sepsis, so when I saw her in the jungle it was very emotional.”
The former West Ham manager teamed up with his wife to put pen to paper for their memoir ‘When Harry Met Sandra’ and explained that the inspiration to write the book was to raise funds for charity but joked that he is “too old” to run a marathon now and has “never won a penny” on TV game shows as he mused that he has been “very lucky” in life.
He told The Sunday Times: “We decided to write a book together as a way to raise some funds for charities. I’ve done a lot of TV shows trying to win them money but never won a penny, and I’m too old now to run a marathon. When you’ve got a big family, there’s always some problem to overcome. It’s like being a football manager every day, but we’ve been very lucky. We had nothing growing up, so we really appreciate what we’ve got. I go to the races at Ascot and wonder what my nan would think seeing me in a box.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James Bye has become the fifth celebrity to leave ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 38-year-old EastEnders actor said he did his best after he was voted off the BBC show on Sunday (30.10.22) and added he felt like he has a new “family from life” in his dancer partner Amy Dowden, 32.
When asked by host Tess Daly about his time on the series, James said: “I’ve said this from the very beginning, all I can do is go out there and do my very best. I am dancing against Fleur East, I went and did my best but she is phenomenal.
“I’ve had the best time on this show and I have a friend for life (in Amy.) All I can do is thank the family, and I have a new family now. It’s a competition but you don’t feel like that backstage, you honestly feel like everyone has each other’s backs and everyone is just willing everyone to do their best!”
Amy added: “You came on here to show your boys they can throw themselves into any challenge in life, and you are the best role model they could ever have as their daddy! I am so proud of you.”
James and Amy had faced Fleur East and her dance partner Vito Coppola in the Halloween-themed dance off.
James and Amy Dowden performed their Charleston to ‘Bumble Bee’ by LaVern Baker, while Fleur and Vito danced the Salsa to ‘Break my Soul’ by Beyoncé.
After both couples had danced a second time, the judges delivered their verdicts.
Craig Revel Horwood said: “Well, it’s my responsibility to save the better dancer and the better dancer tonight for me was Fleur and Vito.”
Motsi Mabuse also chose to save Fleur and Vito, adding: “For me, there were different levels of dancing on the dance floor, and I have decided to save Fleur and Vito.”
Her fellow judge Anton Du Beke said: “I thought both couples danced better on Saturday night. They didn’t reproduce their best performance, but it doesn’t have to be the best performance, it has to be better and I thought their performance was just good enough. Fleur and Vito.”
Head judge Shirley Ballas also said she would have saved Fleur and Vito.
Sunday’s results show opened with a routine from the Strictly professionals that told the cautionary tale of Icarus, while Rina Sawayama performed her single, ‘This Hell’.
The remaining 10 couples will next take to the dancefloor on Saturday 5 November at 7pm, with the results show on Sunday 6 November at 7:15pm on BBC One.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ekin-Su Culculoglu has proudly declared she’s made it through ‘Dancing on Ice’ training without sustaining a single injury.
The ‘Love Island’ winner is taking part in the upcoming series of the hit TV skating show and she’s been hard at work getting to grips with her moves on the ice, and Ekin-Su has boasted she’s not fallen over at all unlike some of her co-stars like Joey Essex who recently broke his fingers in a nasty tumble.
Speaking to The Mirror’s Diary column, Ekin-Su explained: “I’ve not even fallen on the floor yet. I haven’t broken a finger like Joey. I’ve not had an injury yet, which is a bit weird. I was ready to fall. It’s a bit like ballet.”
She went on to joke her ‘Love Island’ partner Davide Sanclimenti has been helping her practice, laughing: “Honey, I’m training in the bed.”
The ITV and ITVX show will be back in the new year with other stars including actress/ DJ Patsy Palmer, football legend John Fashanu and Olympic gymnast Nile Wilson among this year’s celebrity competitors.
Former ‘Coronation Street’ star Mollie Gallagher, Drag Queen and TV personality The Vivienne, TV personality Joey Essex, comedian Darren Harriott, actress and West End star Carley Stenson, singer Michelle Heaton and The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaran will also be part of the programme.
The Vivienne recently admitted she is delighted to be the first drag artist to take part in the show. 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.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola Hughes has welcomed her first child into the world.
The former ‘Made in Chelsea’ star and her spouse Charlie Tupper have become proud parents to baby Penelope.
Nicola shared a black-and-white photograph of their newborn daughter, who arrived earlier than expected, and her father fist-to-fist to announce the arrival.
She captioned the Instagram post: “My heart. Our little Penelope made an early arrival.”
And Charlie commented: “So proud of you x.”
‘Made in Chelsea’ star Tiffany Watson wrote: “Can’t wait to meet her.”
And fellow former ‘MiC’ star Ashley James commented: “Massive congratulations lovely.”
The reality star announced her pregnancy in May, simply captioning a bikini snap of Charlie with his arms wrapped around her tummy: “Hi baby.”
After a relationship with her ‘Made in Chelsea’ co-star Alex Mytton, it was the latter who introduced Nicola to Charlie.
She recalled after her split from Alex in 2017: “Charlie isn’t in the reality world. He’s a very normal guy. He has a recruitment company in the city. He’s a lovely guy.
“We’ve been going out for nearly nine months now, I think. We met through Alex. I was dating him after Alex and then we stopped for a while, but now we’ve started again. It’s very nice.”
After briefly splitting in 2018, they rekindled their romance and became engaged in 2020.
The pair tied the knot in August 2021 and had to organise the ceremony at Botleys Mansion in Surrey in just six weeks.
Nicola shared: “It was a little hectic but we made it happen in the end! I think it was meant to be.”
The quick turnaround came after their original plans to get hitched in France were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

OHMYGOSSIP — Charlotte Crosby has named her newborn daughter Alba Jean.
The ‘Geordie Shore’ star, 32, has been in a relationship with chauffeur Jake Ankers, 33, since 2021 and the pair became parents for the first time earlier this month, with Charlotte taking to social media on Monday (31.10.22) to announce the moniker to her eight million followers.
Alongside a black-and-white photograph, she wrote on Instagram: “Alba Jean Ankers 14.10.22 [heart emoji]
Our hearts are so full my baby girl you have shown us a whole new meaning to life. Your perfect in absolutely every way! Mammy and Daddy are so so so lucky to call you our little girl [heart emoji] you are loved so much more then you will ever know.”(sic)
Charlotte’s father Gary was the first to announce the news that the little one had arrived, as he gushed about becoming a grandfather in an “exciting new chapter” for the family.
He tweeted: “So, officially a grand father! Little girl, all is well. Excited for the new chapter in our little family!”(sic)
The ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star gave birth via caesarean section and previously explained she had been “too scared” to deliver naturally following her ectopic pregnancy in 2016 – after falling pregnant by her ex-boyfriend and former co-star Gaz Beadle.
She said: “‘I’ve never really been keen to push a baby out of my vagina. I’m too scared to have a natural birth. There’s always been something scary about it for me and when I had the ectopic pregnancy [in 2016] it scared me even more. Because I went through that horrendous time where I almost died, I know how things can go drastically wrong.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Amy Childs is expecting twins.
The 32-year-old reality star is already mum to Polly, five, and son Ritchie, four, from previous relationships but is still in “shock” after finding out that she and her current boyfriend Billy Delbosq, 38, are two new additions to their family and initially blurted out the news to cousin and co-star Harry Derbridge because her significant other was away working.
She said: “I’m still in shock! I promise you now, I didn’t want any more children. When I met Bill I thought, ‘Do you know what, I’ll have one more.’ We are so excited – it’s going to be absolutely amazing. I was quite early [into the pregnancy] when I found out and Bill was away working.
I said to Harry ‘I feel really different’, I did a pregnancy test and it came up positive. I was like, “Oh my God, Harry, I’m pregnant!” He thought I was joking. I rang Bill straight away and I was like, “Oh my God, I’m pregnant.” He couldn’t believe it.”
The ‘TOWIE’ star went on to explain that she initially had started to think of having a baby in 2023 because both of her children would be in school by then and didn’t expect to become pregnant so quickly because she has only recently had her coil removed.
She told OK! Magazine: ” did say I’d probably like a baby next year – get Ritch going to school because he’ll be starting school in September. Sometimes you plan it, but it sometimes doesn’t work out that way. We didn’t think it would happen so quickly. I had my coil removed because I was having some complications with it, but my doctor said it takes a while for it to come out of your system. Within two months I was pregnant. I don’t think people thought I would have any more children, but since meeting Bill I’ve felt completely different.”
Meanwhile, Amy added that having a child of each gender would be “the dream” and the pair have already “decided on a few names” to choose from when the twins arrive.
Asked if she intends to find out the genders of the babies, she added: “Definitely. We need to be really organised. As long as they’re healthy and happy. But Polly is my best friend so imagine having two girls identical – amazing. A boy and a girl would be perfect. That would be our dream. We have decided on a few names, but I think when the babies get here, we’ll know. We don’t want to give too much away because we’ll probably change our minds. I like Prudence. I always said I want two children, but now I’ll be having four it’s going to be perfect. My family is so complete now!”
