OHMYGOSSIP — Ronan Keating’s son Jack reveals the identity of his famous dad on Sunday night’s ‘Love Island’ as he cosies up to Gemma Owen.
The 23-year-old – one of six new lads trying to tempt the girls at Casa Amor – told the 19-year-old daughter of ex-footballer Michael Owen, 42, how important he considers family life.
Gemma and Jack have their chat relaxing beside the pool at the show’s sister villa when Jack tells the dressage rider: “My mum and my little sister are big into show jumping and everything like that. I know you’re big into it as well.”
The rider replies: “Oh ok, oh wow! So your mum is a showjumper? So what does your dad do?”
Social media marketer Jack – the eldest of Keating’s three children with his former wife Yvonne Connolly, 48, who the singer divorced in 2015 – replies: “He’s a singer.”
When intrigued Gemma asks: “A well-known singer?” Jack says: “Yeah he is, you know Ronan Keating? That’s the old man.”
Gemma adds: “So you’re really family orientated?” – with Jack responding: “I’m very family orientated. It would be something I’d definitely look for in a girl. I’ve got a big crazy family back home.”
Sunday’s instalment of the ITV2 dating show also sees the original batch of lads learn the girls are holed up at Casa Amor – before they start getting to know the six new girls who have entered the main villa.
Among them is 22-year-old business owner Summer Botwe – who admitted she has her eye on Dami Hope.
Microbiologist Dami, 26 says: “These girls are phenomenal, they’re beautiful. Literally, no jokes about it. “I’m not gonna lie… I feel like we’re in trouble.”
Rugby player Jacques O’Neill, 23, adds about the new arrivals: “Santa’s delivered, trust me… he has brought every single present I wanted.”
The other latest girls are cabin crew worker Cheyanne Kerr, 22, nightclub manager Jazmine Nicol, 21, graphic designer and Ring Girl Coco Lodge, 27, as well as 23-year-olds, make up artist Mollie Salmon and youth support worker Chyna Mills.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Goodger’s ex-boyfriend Jake McLean has reportedly been killed in a car crash in Turkey.
The incident is also said to have left TOWIE’s Yazmin Oukhellou, 28, with serious injuries in hospital.
McLean, 33, dated Goodger, 35, from 2012 to 2016, and was said to have been at the wheel in Bodrum, a port city in southwest Turkey, when he is understood to have lost control of the vehicle also carrying Oukhellou.
The car is said to have careered off a cliff or hill, according to sources.
One told MailOnline on Sunday (03.07.22): “It’s a complete tragedy and a total loss of life.
“Everyone is in shock and hoping Yazmin makes a full recovery.”
Another insider told The Sun: “Apparently Jake was driving when he lost control of the car and it went off a cliff.”
McLean and Oukhellou have been in an on-off relationship since May last year, after she broke off on her long-term relationship with fellow TOWIE cast member, 35-year-old James Lock.
Any more details of the crash are unclear at this stage, but Oukhellou’s followers have been filling her social media with messages saying they are thinking of and praying for her.
One said: “Praying for you at this sad time,” while a second fan added: “Hope you’re okay you can pull through this.”
Oukhellou ended her romance with McLean in January after she found out he had grown close to former ‘Love Island’ contestant Ellie Jones on a night out.
It is unknown when the pair got back together or the reason they were In Turkey.
Oukhellou had been set to make her TOWIE comeback after filming with the cast in the Dominican Republic.
She and Lock, who started dating in 2017, had relocated to Dubai together during the Covid pandemic but their relationship ended following a series of rows.
In April this year, she was photographed leaving Lock’s home after sources told MailOnline the couple had again “grown close”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Yazmin Oukhellou suffered “extremely serious” damage to her arms in the crash that killed Jake McLean.
‘TOWIE’ star Yazmin, 28, is currently being treated for her injuries in hospital after the accident, which occurred when Jake, 33, reportedly lost control of the vehicle he was driving in Bodrum – a port city in southwest Turkey – and careered off a cliff.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “We’re crossing our fingers and praying she makes a full recovery quickly. It’s beyond shocking, just devastating for everyone connected to the show.
“Jake and Yaz are both very well known in our circles, and while he wasn’t a saint this is just unbelievably tragic. Everyone is stunned.”
Another show source added: ““Nobody is quite sure what they were doing out there — we thought they’d split up — but apparently he was involved in some sort of business deal.
“But whatever’s gone on, this is just heart-breaking. We hope to get a proper update on how she is soon. But it sounds very, very serious — perhaps life-changing.”
And Yazmin’s devastated mother Lisa is set to fly to Turkey on Monday (04.07.22) to care for her daughter.
An insider said: “Lisa is in absolute bits. She can’t speak to anyone. She is just so focused on getting out to Turkey to be by her little girl’s bedside in hospital. She is booked on the first flight she could get. She will go directly to the hospital from the airport.
“It is any mum’s worst nightmare and we are all just praying that Yazmin makes it through and is able to recover from her injuries.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Call The Midwife’ star Jenny Agutter is fulfilling a life-long ambition to become a director.
The 69-year-old actress – who has played Sister Julienne in the BBC period drama since it began in 2012 – is now taking the reins on a theatre show and is thrilled to get the opportunity to be the one giving out the instructions, and she wants to take the stage skills behind the camera for TV too.
She told Candis Magazine: “I’ve always wanted to be behind the camera, directing or producing. I have a project that I’m working on at the moment with a London-based theatre group. COVID affected the work being done, but that became a part of what we filmed.”
The actress – who made her stage debut in 1970 and has appeared in numerous productions with the Royal Shakespeare Company throughout her career – added that she is “very lucky” and has always believed in “seizing opportunities” whenever they present themselves.
“I’m very lucky … Still, I take a day at a time. I’ve always believed in seizing opportunities when they come along and celebrating when good things happen and I hope I can continue to do so.”
Meanwhile, Jenny – who is gearing up to celebrate her 70th birthday in December – explained that there is a “pressure” being put on the idea that youth equates to beauty, but insisted that wrinkles are “earned” as life goes on.
She said: “I don’t like the pressure that is put on of youth being beautiful and age not. I think you earn the lines on your face.”

The iconic Australian soap has been axed after 37 years on the air, and Alan – who played Karl Kennedy – admits he had to fight back tears on the last day of filming.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “It was very hard to fight back tears as we were saying the dialogue for what was going to be the last moments of the show.
“There were hundreds of people in the studio to watch that final piece of filming. We had some speeches, I said a few words. There were some tears. There were some celebrations.”
Some of the show’s former cast members returned to shoot scenes for the finale, including Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan.
And Alan explained that everyone who was asked to appear in the show was keen to lend their support for the finale.
He shared: “One of my favourites was Guy Pearce. There wasn’t a single person who was asked to do something for the end, who was available, who said no.
“Everybody wanted to help out.”
Stefan Dennis, who has played Paul Robinson since the soap started in 1985, recently revealed his experience of his final day on set.
The 63-year-old actor also confessed to being overwhelmed by emotion.
He said: “I sort of closed the studio door behind me on my very last scene, my very last dialogue scene and … I suddenly surprised myself by getting incredibly emotional.
“I just kept to myself and went to my dressing room … so I’m keeping a very low profile today. I think I’ll just be an absolute mess if I sort of hang around too long.”

She then added: “The driver recognised me but may not know it’s there – please look get in touch – need urgently!!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sex Education star George Robinson is returning to TV in a new comedy show.
The actor – who played Isaac in the hit Netflix drama – has landed a role in a new series called ‘Perfect’ which is being produced for the Dave channel with George playing one of three disabled characters who become friends after enrolling on a work preparation scheme.
George will appear alongside ‘Motherland’ star Tanya Moodie, ‘Back To Life’ actress Juliet Cowan and Wills Whittington, who is best known for his role in ‘Don’t Forget The Driver’.
‘Perfect’ is set in Liverpool, UK and described as a show following “three young disabled people who become unexpected friends when they meet on a half-cocked and pointless work preparation scheme.
“Together they navigate life, dating, and a system that seems designed to only benefit the people who run it.”
George, who is in a wheelchair, previously told the BBC he was thrilled with the response from ‘Sex Education’ fans.
He said: “”I really love playing Isaac … The feedback I’ve got from within the disability community is that it’s really refreshing to see someone who is so comfortable within themselves and not questioning their existence.”
The actor added that he hopes seeing more disabled actors onscreen will start to shift the way they are treated by others.
He went on: “I hope that through Isaac, people see how to treat someone with disability as if they were treating anyone else, regardless of it.”
‘Perfect’ is believed to be heading to TV in August 2022 with an official start date yet to be announced.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Love Island’ contestants are to decide who is dumped from the island on Friday night’s (01.07.22) episode.
After it was revealed that couples Tasha and Andrew, Danica and Jay and Antigoni and Charlie were the least popular contestants with the voting public, a text reveals that their fellow Islanders must choose one boy and one girl to evict from the reality dating show.
When the girls and the boys huddle in groups at the fire pit to make their decision, Indiyah says to the girls: “I think you have to look at who will be open to giving things a shot”, while Luca is heard telling the boys: “We’ve all said the same thing and we’ve all agreed. That’s it. We have to stick by it now…”
Elsewhere in Friday’s episode, Davide admits that he feels “very appreciated” after the public deemed him to be compatible with actress Ekin-Su, 27, and insisted that their romance is “not fake.”
He said: “Naturally I felt very appreciated. They probably saw the connection that there is. They probably saw when we laugh together, we are real, it’s not something fake. I felt good about it yesterday night, and last night I was a bit more open with her.”
Ekin-Su – who made her debut in the Mallorca villa as a bombshell arrival just days after the series had begun – is feeling very “grateful” to the public because there was “always” a spark between herself and Davide.
She said: “I’m very, very grateful that the public believed in my choice. Me and Davide – there was always something there from the start. remember Davide was like, ‘I’m not going to make you coffee every morning, I’m not going to do this, don’t expect me to change’ and it’s just really nice to just see him again, fresh start, a nice coffee.”
Meanwhile, when the girls receive a text informing them that they are to have a night out for cocktails, the boys are left wondering what they will do on their own.
Jacques said: ” Listen, the girls’ text is girls’ night out, cocktails…” to which Dami asks: “What are we supposed to do without them though?”
‘Love Island’ airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox.
The dating reality show can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kaye Adams has insisted that there is “no one” who refuses to work with anyone else at ‘Loose Women.’
The 59-year-old TV star was an original host on the lunchtime chat show between 1999 and 2006 and returned to anchor the show on a regular basis back in 2013 but – despite recent rumours of a fall-out between various stars – admitted that while there have been “tensions” over the years, everything has been “fixable.”
She said: “Have there been times of tension between individuals? Yes, there have. I’m not going to deny that there are occasions when people maybe have a bit of a beef with somebody else but it’s nothing that hasn’t been fixable. There’s nobody who will walk out of the door when somebody else walks in. Nobody refuses to work with anybody else.”
Meanwhile, the BBC Radio host – who has daughters Charley, 20, and Bonnie, 15 with partner Ian Campbell – is gearing up to celebrate her 60th birthday in December and has started up a podcast called ‘How to Be 60’ as she approaches the milestone which has so far seen her chat to the likes of ‘Loose Women’ co-star Jane Moore, 60, and talk show host Jonathan Ross, 61, about their experiences with aging.
She told Metro newspaper’s SixtySeconds column: “I wanted to do something that genuinely meant something to me. I was pottering around the garden and various ideas were going through my head and my age popped up. It’s something I’ve got my knickers in a twist about all my life, so it was a eureka moment. My partner lan was about to turn 60 and was very relaxed about it. It made me wonder how he could be so cool about it while I thought it was awful. So ‘How To Be 60’ was born.”
Kaye – who is based in Glasgow but travels to London almost every week to record ‘Loose Women’ – added that while it would be “fun” to slow down as she enters her 60s, she has not made any plans to retire because she enjoys work so much.
She said: “I don’t know [if I will retire]. I think it would be fun not to be continually chasing my tail but I get an awful lot of pleasure from my work. I meet interesting people. I laugh and have fun. And if I took that out of my life, what do you fill that with?”

OHMYGOSSIP — Freddie Flintoff has labelled the BBC as “disrespectful” for calling the kids in his new TV show “underprivileged”.
The 44-year-old cricket legend is fronting new show ‘Freddie’s Field of Dreams’ on the BBC which sees him teach working-class kids from his hometown of Preston how to play cricket, and argues that the game isn’t “just for posh people” as he puts them head-to-head with a local private school.
He told the Daily Star’s HotTV column: “I thought it was disrespectful as well. ‘Underprivileged’ is like a buzzword. It’s almost like clickbait.
“When the press release was put out and the kids were up in arms over it, I could not defend it.”
Since the uproar, the wording has been edited to “reluctant” on all the promotional material.
“They just need a chance, some of these lads. They need somebody to back them.”
The ‘Top Gear’ host – who has sons Corey, 16, Rocky, 14, Preston, two, and daughter Holly, 17, with his wife Rachael Wools – then went on to reveal that youngsters knew him better for his exploits in the iconic BBC car magazine show instead of for breaking records on the cricket pitch, but insisted he “wasn’t annoyed” by that.
He said: “It’s like Lenny Henry being known for the Premier Inn adverts or Gary Lineker for his crisps.
“It doesn’t annoy me because I never wanted to be famous”
Last week, Freddie – who himself was state school educated – admitted that despite offers of a scholarship, “the best decision” was to stay at his local comprehensive instead going to a private school.
He said: “I didn’t want to be the poor kid at a posh school.
“It was the best decision I ever made. It was such a good grounding, I wouldn’t swap it.”
The former Lancashire cricket star acknowledged winning “the lottery of life” with his family, who supported his cricketing dreams.
Freddie said: “I won the lottery of life with my family. We didn’t have much, but for love and support, we couldn’t have had more.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is reportedly set to return to Blackpool this year.
The BBC talent show has featured a stint in the iconic Blackpool Tower ballroom since 2013 but the annual trip to the seaside resort has been cancelled for the last two series because of the COVID-19 outbreak – however a new report suggests telly bosses are hoping to bring the episodes back for the 2022 season.
A source told The Sun staff at the venue and nearby hotels in the town have been asked to start preparing for a possibly return in the autumn.
The insider said: “Blackpool week is such an important part of Strictly and everyone was gutted not to be able to go for the last two years.
“The production team are working out the logistics but everyone is feeling really hopeful that the show will be able to return there for 2022.
“And the fact that it will reach the landmark 20th series makes it all the more important.”
‘Strictly’ is set to return in the autumn and it was reported over the weekend BBC are hoping to land some huge names for the new series – including ITV regular Holly Willoughby.
The ‘This Morning’ star has previously insisted she’s unlikely to tackle the show as she fears her dancing is just not up to scratch, but the Mail on Sunday newspaper reported BBC bosses are keen to get her onboard.
A source told the publication: “Bosses at the BBC want Holly to be theirs, it’s as simple as that … If they can keep her sweet … then they hope they can gradually woo her into the right thing. “With the exception of ‘Strictly’ which is only on for a few months of the year, the Beeb struggle for big entertainment programmes, particularly those hosted by women. “Holly is popular across generations – she appeals to young and old. To the BBC, she is an absolute gem, they want her and they will spend the money that they have to. “Holly is very much aware and takes the view that she will go where the programmes are. “So if the BBC get the shows right, it’s simple – they will get her.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh wants to “celebrate the NHS” after her dad David was diagnosed with cancer.
The 46-year-old star – who is known having played the role of Michelle Connor on ‘Coronation Street’ for over a decade and has since gone on to front ‘Morning Live’ on the BBC – admitted that when her father was diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer back in 2021, she was struck down with “really bad anxiety” but explained that the organisation has done “so much” for herself and her family over the years.
She said: “Dad got sick and it was like, ‘I need to take a step back and go home for a while and do what I know I need to do.’ And that’s why I did. My anxiety was really bad at one point. I felt as though my work and everything was suffering. I sought help and am in a much better place now. I don’t think something like that ever really goes away but you learn to manage it. I got myself the help I needed. The NHS has done so much for me and my family over the years.”
The former Hear’Say singer – who has kids David, 27, Emilie, 25, and Polly, 11, from previous relationships and tragically lost on Archie when he died just moments after his birth back in 2013 – explained that it is “so important” to acknowledge the work NHS as she wondered where the country would be without them.
She told The Sun newspaper: “They were there for me during one of the worst times of my life when I lost my son Archie, their expert care ensured my daughter Polly was OK despite being born prematurely and they’ve given my dad the best care possible following his cancer diagnosis last year. It’s so important that we celebrate the NHS, because without them where would we be? They are wonderful and really deserve to be celebrated.”
