OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Hollyoaks’ have revealed England international Lauren Hemp will make a cameo appearance.
The Lioness and Manchester City play has been on set for the Channel 4 soap with the likes of Matthew James-Bailey, Kelly Condron and Anna Passey.
Alongside a series of snaps, the soap wrote on Instagram: “Sooo… HUGE NEWS! We had a LIONESS with us yesterday, and it’s safe to say, we were living the dream!”
Lauren will play herself on the show as a coach for Kathleen-Angel’s football team following the Lionesses Euros success.
She landed the role after taking to Instagram with an additional ‘Hollyoaks’ scene which was filmed showing Nadira Valli (Ashling O’Shea) and Juliet Nightingale (Niamh Blackshaw) watching the end of this summer’s competition.
She explained: “I love Hollyoaks and never miss it so when they posted the scene about us on their Instagram I then shared it on my story.
“Then my agent called and said that I had been invited to come and film a scene. I can’t tell you what I replied but I shouted it down the phone! It was like a dream.
“I had two dreams in life and they’ve both happened in the last few weeks.
“It was a surreal day and I was just thinking I can’t believe I am here and people want my picture, when I was really nervous but everyone was lovely.”
Meanwhile, Lauren admitted she would “love” to reappear in the soap in a bigger role, and she has a storyline in mind.
She teased: “I’d love to come back again. I’d like to play a serial killer.”
She also explained that her ambitions after winning the Euros are focused on inspiring people to get “involved in football”.
She added: “One of our many goals as the Lionesses over the Euros was to inspire as many girls and boys as possible to be involved in football and it’s important we keep doing that so if you’re playing football then keep doing it or give it a go if you have never tried.
“I had many people in the past tell me that I couldn’t do something but its important that you believe in yourself, you don’t listen to anyone. I think this summer has proved that girls can play football too.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kitty Scott-Claus said “so many naughty things” on the set of ‘Celebrity Masterchef.’
The 30-year-old drag queen – whose real name is Louie Westwood – is set to return to screens in a celebrity edition of the BBC cooking series but “knew” that several of her jokes would be cut from the final edit and would give the crew various options in case her innuendos were not pre-watershed friendly.
She said: “Forget jokes about ‘putting a toad in the hole’ and ‘loving a bit of sausage I said so many naughty things, I knew they would be cut. In fact I used to say to the camera crews, ‘I don’t think they can use that pre-watershed… let me give you another option!
“The thing is, I had to remember where I was. I wasn’t in the clubs anymore. It’s a different crowd on the BBC, darling.
However, the TV star – who placed third in the 2021 series of ‘Ru Paul’s Drag Race’ behind Ella Vaday and Krystal Versace – admitted she was still “thrilled” to take part in ‘Celebrity Masterchef’ because she is only the second drag queen to take part after her ‘Drag Race’ alum Baga Chipz had done “so bloody badly” on the show back in 2020 and failed to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.
She told The Daily Star’s HotTV Column: I was just thrilled to be asked. The only other drag queen to be on MasterChef was Baga Chipz and she did so bloody badly! I thought, ‘I’d better fake it til I make it!”
‘Celebrity Masterchef’ returns to BBC One on Wednesday (10.08.22) at 8pm and will also feature the likes of McFly singer Danny Jones and former ‘Chucklevision’ star Paul Chuckle, with Kitty’s episode set to air at a later date.

OHMYGOSSIP — Bill Bailey has raised almost £110,000 in memory of Sean Lock.
The comedian has completed a seven day, 100 mile walk along part of the South West Coast Path to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support following the death of the ‘8 Out Of 10 Cats’ star in August 2021.
A GoFundMe page was set up for the event, and so far donations have reached £109,577 from 5,930 supporters.
Bill recently wrote on the page: “£100k amazing !! I can’t thank all of you enough for getting us to this incredible target.
“And a huge thanks to all our fellow walkers, all Sean’s family and friends who’ve walked every mile with me, and kept our spirits up with some great laughs, and reminiscing about Sean.”
The 57-year-old star walked from Bude in Cornwall to Combe Martin in Devon – which was one of his and Lock’s favourite treks – alongside other friends including fellow comedian Lee Mack.
Earlier this week, Bill told ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’: “I miss him all the time, everyday.
“Grief is hard to pin down, it’s not something that’s an exact science, you never know how it’s going to affect you and it can sometimes just ambush you…
“A phrase, a turn of phrase, a piece of music. Even a stretch of coastline that you walk, suddenly you get this flood of memories and that will trigger this response.”
In a previous interview on ‘This Morning’, Bill told co-hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby how Sean had a passion for the great outdoors, and admitted the pair always tried to make the most of their final years together by going on multiple trips.
He said: “He had been diagnosed with lung cancer a few years ago and it was at the time quite a blow, particularly when it was quite advanced.
“We’ve tried to make the most of the last few years. We spent a lot of time together and went on trips together. And he’s continued to work.
“We used to walk for miles. We’d talk about everything. Sean was brilliant company.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Faye Winter is still in therapy a year after appearing on ‘Love Island’.
The 27-year-old reality star – whose sparked over 24,000 Ofcom complaints over her row with her boyfriend Teddy Soars, also 27, on the ITV2 dating show – has admitted she found the backlash “hard to deal with”.
She told The Sun newspaper: “I’m still in therapy and I think I’ll be doing it for a long time.
“I’ve always been very outspoken, I am myself, and if I need a bit of help along the way, then that’s OK.”
The influencer – who is appearing on this year’s ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ – admitted she also struggled with the reaction to her plastic surgery.
She added: “I’ve been very open and honest about what I’ve had done. The backlash was hard to deal with, I still have so many blocked words on my Instagram account and it took me a while before I could look at those words.”
And she has since started to “embrace” a more natural style, having had her lip filler reduced.
Earlier this year, Faye and Teddy – who moved in together after just three months of dating and are still going strong – quit Instagram due to racist abuse from vile trolls.
At the time, he explained: “She [Faye] gets quite a lot of racism thrown at her for being with me.
“And I was experiencing the same thing, over a kind of Q and A I think, but not to go into too much detail there, it was just something that I’ve never really expected to have any kind of trolling at all.
“It’s just there. You delete it, but you’ve got so much coming your way and I think any kind of hate, any kind of jealousy, any kind of toxicity in the world is just nasty.”
The couple finished in second place last year behind 2021 winner’s Liam Reardon and Millie Court.

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola Walker feels “guilty” over her ‘Unforgotten’ exit storyline.
The 52-year-old actress – whose character DCI Cassie Stuart was killed off in a car accident – thinks the ITV crime drama’s writers would have handled her departure differently if they’d known the pandemic was on the way.
She told Radio Times magazine: “If we’d known Covid was coming, we would have given people a less depressing storyline.
“I feel guilty because, when it came out, I thought: ‘Crikey, we could have given them something more cheerful. The last thing they need is to be made to feel really sad about this brilliant cop.’ ”
The series is set to return for its fifth season – although a release date is yet to be announced – with Sinead Keenan joiing the cast as DCI Jessica James, who will join as Sunny Khan’s (Sanjeev Bhaskar) new partner.
Meanwhile, the cast will also be bolstered by new additions including the likes of ‘Silent Witness’ actor Rhys Yates as Jay, The Bay’s Martina Laird as Bele, ‘Derry Girls’ star Ian McElhinney as Tony, and Jeryll and Hyde’s Max Rinehart as Karol.
Sanjeev previously addressed her co-star’s surprise exit and admitted she “felt slightly sick” throughouht the entire process, describing the storyline as “very upsetting”.
She said: “When I first heard, I had a very similar reaction to when I then read it in the script, and then a similar reaction again when we filmed it, which is I felt slightly sick. It was a shock.
“I think Nicola and Chris [Lang, creator] had been talking about where Cassie Stuart’s storyline would go, so I wasn’t party to that.
“I mean, it’s a huge thing to do and so it made sense dramatically, but yeah, it’s very upsetting actually.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alison Hammond is tipped to be the new host of ‘Big Brother’.
The ‘This Morning’ presenter – who shot to fame after appearing on the third season of the reality show in 2002 – is said to be at the top of producer’s lists to follow in the footsteps of Davina McCall, Brian Dowling and Emma Willis in fronting the show when it returns to screens on ITV2 next year.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “Alison is top of the list to present next year’s Big Brother. Execs think she’s exactly what the show needs. She’s energetic, fun, relatable and she was on the show, so she knows it inside out.”
The 47-year-old star, who was second to be voted off her series after just 15 days, previously admitted she’d love to host the programme.
Asked if she thought she’d make a good ‘Big Brother’ host before it was announced the show was returning, she said: “I think so. They need to change it up a bit. We’ve got to put it out there to the universe. Let’s make it happen.”
An ITV spokesperson insisted no decisions have been made as yet.

“It’s the news we wanted. Welcome back, bro.”

The 50-year-old actor has agreed to make a full-time return as mechanic Ricky Butcher – who was last seen in Walford in 2012 before leaving for Germany – and will start shooting scenes alongside Charlie Brooks, who plays his on-screen sister Janine, and Kim Medcalf as his ex-wife Sam Mitchell next month.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Bosses have an exciting storyline planned for his return, involving lots of key players.
“Ricky is an iconic character from Albert Square’s early days, and has been hugely popular over the decades. He has lots of unfinished business.
“The sky’s the limit for script writers. An autumn of bumper storylines is on the cards.”
Sid – who first appeared on the show in 1988 – is believed to be one of a number of past stars that producers are hoping to tempt back to Albert Square after ratings dropped to their lowest ever in June, with just 1.38 million tuning in.
The source added: “Producers want to return the soap to its former glory so the strategy is bring back some of the veterans, fan favourites and drama.
“Over the years there’s been a bit of a bloodbath of main roles so bosses have had to work out which characters are still alive and who can realistically return. Ricky fits the bill.”
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ contestant – who has seven-month-old daughter Skye with fiancee Victoria Shores – admitted last year he would “never say never” to the possibility of returning to the soap.
He said: “Hopefully if the door’s still open — never say never. It’s a huge part of my life, and people love the character.”
