OHMYGOSSIP — The BBC are “certainly up for” continuing with ‘Gentleman Jack’ but need to find a new broadcast partner.
It was announced last week that the network’s co-producers, HBO won’t be moving forward with anymore episodes of the period drama – which stars Suranne Jones in the title role – and writer Sally Wainwright admitted she was left “gutted” by the decision, which came as a “surprise”.
She said: “Well, I think we all are [gutted]. It’s been a bit of a surprise really because it’s been doing really well, certainly in this country. We were ready to go again, the BBC certainly [is] up for going again.
“I think if HBO had been up for it, there’d have been no question. It’s been a very successful show in all areas for them – it’s had fantastic reviews, it’s had a very respectable audience and on top of that it’s had an impact on the community of gay women. We have the most extraordinary fanbase, they organise all sorts of events.”
And Sally admitted she doesn’t think the BBC will continue with the show as a solo production, though other options are being explored.
She told RadioTimes.com: “I think [the BBC] wouldn’t want to continue with it without it having the same production values.
“So we would need to find another partner who would stream it globally. You know, I think all those other options are being explored at the minute given that there is a desire to go on with it amongst quite a lot of people – the BBC, Lookout Point, myself, you know.”
Following the news that HBO had axed the show, the BBC confirmed a few days ago that they had been talking to Sally about their options to continue.
A spokesperson said last week: “We are tremendously proud of ‘Gentleman Jack’, a show which has made a huge cultural impact, and we are in discussions with Sally about what’s next.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Tanya Reynolds is “very sad” to be leaving ‘Sex Education’.
The 30-year-old actress – who stars in upcoming Channel 4 comedy ‘I Hate You’ – won’t be returning for the fourth season of the Netflix comedy drama having played alien-loving student Lily Iglehart for the first three series.
She told RadioTimes.com: “I’m not [returning], actually, which is sad, very sad.
“It’s just the natural progression of these shows – when you have such big ensemble casts and so many characters, I think you have to let a few older characters go to make way for newer ones, which is absolutely the right thing, the way it should happen.”
Tanya – whose character delighted fans with her bold outfits and X-rated obsession with extra terrestrials – insisted she was leaving the show after the “perfect amount” of time.
She added: “I loved every minute of it and I loved Lily with my whole entire heart. Three seasons was just a really perfect amount for me.”
Her exit comes as cast mate Patricia Allison – who plays Ola Nyman, with whom Lily sparked an on-screen romance in season three – is also leaving the coming of age show.
She recently said: “I absolutely have loved being on ‘Sex Education’ so so much, and playing Ola but unfortunately, I won’t be joining the team for season four.”
She explained that the decision was made so she could focus on “some other little things” after being committed to the show for so long.
She revealed: “Some other opportunities have come up. So, I’ve been doing it for three years and I’ve like genuinely loved it.”
‘Sex Education’ – which stars Gillian Anderson and Asa Butterfield as mother/son duo Otis and Jean Milburn – is currently filming its fourth season, although Netflix is yet to confirm a release date.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Changing Rooms’ is returning for a second series of the Channel 4 reboot.
The classic interior design show – which was revived in August 2021 with Anna Richardson at the helm – will be back for another series this summer, with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen leading his team through more home makeovers.
He’ll be getting to work Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead of 2LG Studio, alongside two new interior designers, Michaela Sharp and Winnie Williams, but ‘Naked Attraction’ host Anna won’t be back as the ‘Changing Rooms’ presenter.
However, carpenter and joiner Tibby Singh will return to the home makeover show, which is made in partnership with Dulux.
In a statement, Laurence said: “Like Arnie in ‘The Terminator’ and Jack in ‘The Shining’, ‘Changing Rooms’ is back smashing down the doors of the nation’s most ‘meh’ interiors to let the colour and excitement of full fat decorating in.
“Having loved every minute of last year’s revival that coincided with The Changing Rooms Silver Jubilee, I’ve got some spectacular, nay superhuman, transformations planned.”
Jonny Rothery – commissioning editor for Channel 4 – added: “Last year’s reboot of ‘Changing Rooms’ was a highlight of the year, bringing the inimitable Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen back to UK screens and introducing the very talented Russell and Jordan to our viewers.
“I’m thrilled we’re doing it all again and welcoming more new faces to the ‘Changing Rooms’ family. I can’t wait to see the makeovers our brilliant designers come up with.”
Jon Swain – Managing Director at Shine TV – commented: “We’re delighted that ‘Changing Rooms’ is returning. It brought so much fun and colour into people’s living rooms last year, and we can’t wait to see what our brilliant designers will come up with for summer 2022.
“It’s the ultimate feelgood home show: funny, inspiring and always down to earth.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ star Jacques O’Neill has been offered support from his former rugby league club’s Welfare Officer following his time on the show.
The 23-year-old star quit the ITV2 programme this week after admitting he “couldn’t be himself” on the series, and his former side Castleford Tigers have confirmed the ex-Islander has been in talks with the Super League outfit.
A tweet on the club’s official Twitter account read: “Castleford Tigers can confirm that today, Jacques O’Neill has been in communication with the club, visited our First Team ahead of today’s training session and that O’Neill can receive support from our Welfare Officer should he wish.”
Castleford also admitted they were looking forward to welcoming Jacques and his mother to a game “very soon”.
A statement on their official website read: “In advance of appearing on the reality TV show Love Island, the Tigers’ Welfare Officer had communication with O’Neill, and this support will continue to be offered to him. Alongside the welcoming nature of our First Team environment, of which he has been a part since the age of 16.
“Castleford Tigers’ primary focus with Jacques at this stage will be to support him. All at the club look forward to welcoming Jacques and his mother Janet to The Mend-A-Hose Jungle for a Betfred Super League match very soon, to cheer on the Fords.
“The Club will make no further comment at this stage.”
Last month, Castleford revealed Jacques had been released from his contract ahead of his ‘Love Island’ appearance, but they had the first option to sign the hooker back if he wanted to return to the sport.
A statement read: “Castleford Tigers can confirm that the club has agreed to release Jacques O’Neill from his contract to allow him to pursue another opportunity.
“The Tigers have the first option to sign O’Neill back next year should he wish to return to rugby league.
“Known for a fearless attitude on the field by Castleford supporters, the Cumbrian-born 23-year-old is a proud product of the Tigers’ youth system having come through both our scholarship and academy programmes before making his Super League debut.
“Castleford Tigers would like to wish Jacques well with his new opportunity and thank him for his efforts as a Tiger so far.”
Jacques departed the villa shortly after bombshell Adam Collard – who took part in the show in 2018 – returned to the programme and set his sights on Paige Thorne, who the rugby player was coupled up with.
But relations between Jacques and Paige had been slightly strained since Casa Amor, when he kissed Cheyanne Kerr before deciding to recouple with the paramedic.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rowan Atkinson refuses to watch ‘Line of Duty’.
The ‘Blackadder’ legend admitted while he knows the BBC One police corruption drama is “a brilliant show”, he couldn’t bring himself to watch anything after the first series because it was “too stressful”.
Speaking at GQ Heroes in association with BMW at Soho Farmhouse, he said: “I don’t like stressful television … I can’t stand watching ‘Line of Duty’, which is a brilliant show.
“I watched the first series and thought it was absolutely brilliant, and then I started watching the second series and I found that I just couldn’t watch it because I was finding it too stressful because you know that things are going to go wrong.
“It’s brilliantly written and made but I don’t like that kind of TV.”
He was speaking during a session with Miranda Sawyer entitled ‘40 Years of Playing Extraordinary Fools’, as Rowan reflected on his storied career.
The 67-year-old star revealed he won’t read any reviews for his own films or TV shows because he isn’t making them for critics.
He added: “One of the reasons why I don’t listen to pundits or read reviews… is because I don’t feel the need, because they’re not the people I’m trying to entertain.
“The two parties I’m trying to entertain is me and the intended audience, the audience out there, the general public.
“Not the people who are making a noise between me and them.”
The comedy veteran previously admitted he also finds it “stressful and exhausting” playing his beloved Mr. Bean character because of the “weight of responsibility”.
Explaining the difference between the animated and live action versions, he said: “It’s easier for me to perform the character vocally than visually. I don’t much enjoy playing him.
“The weight of responsibility is not pleasant. I find it stressful and exhausting, and I look forward to the end of it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Fern Britton says meeting someone would be the “icing on the cake” for her “perfect” life.
The former ‘This Morning’ presenter split from 60-year-old TV chef Phil Vickery in January 2020 after 20 years of marriage, and while the mother of four – who has twins Jack and Harry, 28, and daughter Grace, 25 from first marriage to Clive Jones, and daughter Winnie, 20, with Phil – admits she hasn’t thought about dating at the moment, but it “would be lovely” if a Mr. Right came along.
Fern, 64, who is the August cover star of Prima magazine, told the publication: “I’m not considering dating right now. I haven’t been seeing anyone and nobody has approached me, which is nice, too.
“If someone came along who was lovely and kind and we didn’t have to live together – if he had his life and I had mine – that might be perfect.
“But on the other hand, life is pretty bloody perfect right now and I’m happy with my company, so meeting someone would simply be icing on the cake.”
Fern went on to say that this new chapter has come at the right time of her life, but she doesn’t “want to be the poster girl for separation”.
She added: “This new chapter has come at the right time for me. I don’t want to be the poster girl for separation, though, because a lot of people go through the same thing.
“Often, the children leave home and you look at each other and go, ‘Ah, where do we go from here?’ I only wish I was the sort of person who could have persevered through that, but I couldn’t.”
The presenter, who lost her house when she split from TV chef husband, encouraged those in the same boat to “have courage”.
She said: “Get yourself financially independent, so you have the opportunity not to have to rely on anybody for anything. We can’t rely on somebody for our own happiness, let alone to look after us and keep us housed.
“Then, if you find yourself in a situation where you’re at a crossroads, have courage. Look into yourself and ask, ‘How do I feel?’ If the answer is, ‘Pretty depressed,’ you don’t have to conform just because you think other people want you to. Do it for yourself.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Oaten almost died during her battle with milk-alkali syndrome.
The former ‘Emmerdale’ star was hospitalised earlier this year before being diagnosed with the rare kidney condition, which sees a high level of calcium in the body and can lead to kidney failure and even death.
Appearing on ITV’s ‘Lorraine’ on Thursday (14.07.22), Gemma told guest host Carol Vorderman “My calcium levels went to a dangerously high point…
“Effectively my body was poisoning itself.
“It was only two months ago that this all happened really.”
Gemma, 38, had “no idea” about the severity of the situation until she was taken to hospital, where she had 8 per cent kidney function and 20 per cent oxygen.
She said: “I had not been feeling well for a while to be honest but I didn’t practice what I preached and I just put it down to one side.
“We’d had a big funding cut for the charity that I am CEO of and I’d put it down to stress and the pressure of that.
“I was also doing a morning breakfast radio show so I was getting up early at half past four and doing my full time job and then auditions so I just put it down to nausea, feeling tired.”
She attributed symptoms – such as stomach cramps – to anxiety and stress, and after being struck down with COVID-19 she found out she had milk-alkali syndrome.
In hospital, she was told it was caused by years of taking too much calcium carbonate through Rennie tablets.
Asked why she was taking so many, she said: “I was poorly from the age of 10 with anorexia. That anorexia then led into bulimia and I was struggling for 13 years.”
Although she is now in recovery, there are some after effects which could be permanent, as she may not be able to have children due to the syndrome, while her teeth are “falling apart” after years of damage.
She added: “It’s such a difficult and toxic illness to battle. It’s a mental health illness. I think people think that it’s about vanity and just social media.
“It’s not, it’s about human beings struggling with pain.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Death in Paradise’ star Kris Marshall says ‘Beyond Paradise’ is “really unique”.
The new series was announced by BBC late last month and will see the 49-year-old actor reprise his role as DI Humphrey Goodman, who he played the in the BBC drama ‘Death in Paradise’ from 2014 to 2017 before he was replaced by Ardal O’Hanlan.
The spin-off series will follow the detectives adventures as he returns to the UK from the fictional Lesser Antilles island of Saint Marie, to settle with Martha Lloyd (Sally Bretton), the tourist he fell in love with.
Unlike the previous show, which was filmed on the sunny Caribbean Island of Guadeloupe, ‘Beyond Paradise’ is set in the British countryside, which according to Kris, gives it a “brand new spin”.
He told Digital Spy: “So, it’s set in a rural setting in the south west. We start filming imminently, in about three weeks.
“We’re in the process now, we’ve got most of the main cast but we’re sort of casting some of the supporting roles.
“What’s really lovely is everything about the new scripts are brand new, and yet they sort of remain … it’s a juxtaposition really of having what you’re used to and what we really love about ‘Death in Paradise’, but having a new spin on it.
“I think it’s really unique and like a comfy blanket as well. I think it’s going to be, I hope ‘Death in Paradise’ fans are going to take to it straight away.”
The ‘Sanditon’ star will also be returning for the second instalment of the Jane Austen inspired historical drama where he will reprise his role as Tom Parker.
