OHMYGOSSIP — Dr. Ranj Singh has admitted coming out at the age of 30 was “not easy”.
The 43-year-old TV star – who grew up in a traditional Sikh household and was married to Sulvinder Samra until 2011 – came out as gay in 2009 and explained that while he was “lucky” to have a supportive family, he appreciates that is not always the case for everyone.
He said: “I came out when I was 30 and I don’t think it’s easy to do that, especially if you’re from any kind of ethnic community, but I was lucky enough to be surrounded by people who were very supportive. My friends have been fantastic and my family have been great, as they should be. But I appreciate there are people out there, especially from certain communities, who don’t have that experience and coming out for them can be dangerous. That’s why I continue to be very vocal and visible when it comes to these matters so maybe someone who’s having a tough time can see a little bit of hope.”
The ‘This Morning’ star – who still practices as a children’s doctor when he is not giving out medical advice on TV – went on to describe June’s Pride Month as “very important” to him and claimed that the celebrations are a “reminder” that equality has still not been achieved for everyone.
He told the Metro newspaper’s Sixty Seconds column: “Pride is very important to me and I think it should be important to everybody, actually.
“Pride is just a reminder to everyone that diverse people exist and sadly don’t always share the same rights as everybody else. Even if Pride is a celebration of the wonderful LGBTQ+ community, it’s also a reminder that things still aren’t equal for everyone and that we need to keep pushing for that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Owen’s ‘Love Island’ stint may not be an “ideal” career move, according to Jermaine Jenas.
The 19-year-old star – who is the daughter of footballing legend Michael Owen, 42, and his wife Louise Bosnall – is currently taking part in the hit ITV2 reality dating show, but Michael’s fellow football pundit Jermaine has admitted that if it were his own daughter, he would have “concerns” over the media scrutiny that comes with taking part.
He said: “I’m not stupid enough to say, ‘I’d be fuming.’ One thing I’ve learned growing up in dressing rooms is that if you say, ‘I don’t want my daughter to do this,’ all that does is push them away. want all my kids to be honest with me. If my daughter came to me and said, ‘I want to go on Love Island,’ I would probably voice my concerns because of the scrutiny involved. But if she thinks she can handle it, I would say, ‘Go and enjoy yourself, as long as you know what’s coming’.”
However, the former Tottenham Hotspur player – who has daughters Geneva, nine, and Olivia, five, as well as son Jacob, eight, with wife Ellie, and has daughter Sancha, 14, from a previous relationship – admitted that Gemma has “done well” on the show so far, but explained that her chosen route to success may not be the most “ideal”.
He told OK! magazine: “From what I’ve seen, Gemma has done well and I think some people on social media have been too harsh. She might go on to do great things and this might be her first step towards doing that – and it might not be the ideal step but it might be a step. But obviously, when I see Michael there will be a bit of winding up!”
‘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 — Rylan Clark is still single a year after splitting from his husband Dan Neal.
The TV and radio presenter’s marriage broke down last year and their split was confirmed in June 2021 – and the star has now insisted he’s not been dating anyone and the mystery man he’s been pictured with previously is just his longtime manager.
Rylan explained: “Photographers follow me around (now) … That’s never happened to me before … Now all of a sudden I’m single, it’s like, ‘Who’s he f*****g?’ My manager has been my ‘mystery man’ about four times in the press.”
Rylan went through a tough time after the split and took some time off from his BBC Radio 2 show to deal with his personal issues.
He’s now revealed he’s trying to do more “normal things” to help him move on with his life.
Rylan said: “Over the course of the last year, I’ve been doing a lot more normal things. I think I’ve found a good balance. I love coming home, no make-up on, tracksuit, having a Peroni (beer).”
The ‘Supermarket Sweep’ presenter also explained he’s taken more control of his life in a bid to put his happiness first.
In an interview with The Big Issue magazine, he added: “Genuinely, the best piece of advice I could give myself if make sure you’re always happy. I’ve been in a lot of situations over the last 10 years where I’ve gone on with something because I thought it was the right thing to do. Or because I thought it was good for my job or my personal life. But if you’re not happy, it’s really not worth it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Freddie Flintoff was “bullied at school” for playing cricket.
The 44-year-old star – who went on to play for England – has compared the bullying he received during his school days to that of ballet dancer Billy Elliot in the 2000 film, which starred Jamie Bell and Julie Walters.
He said: “At both the schools I went to, cricket was just not on the radar. I got so much stick for playing cricket, bullied even, it was almost like Billy Elliot – except he had it easier being a ballet dancer.”
The ‘Lord of the Fries’ presenter – who was state school educated – is now fronting a new documentary series which will see him heading into schools in his hometown of Preston, Lancashire, to introduce cricket to a new generation of youngsters.
He claims the game is “elitist” because the majority of players have been privately educated, but admitted he took a “weird pleasure” in beating them on the pitch.
He told the Radio Times magazine: “When you look at the England team, when we started this process a year ago, it was 60/40 public school to state school kids. But only 7 per cent of kids go to private school. That makes it elitist. I had my bat I bought for £21.50 and my Auntie Joan bought my pads from Hamleys toy shop.
“You’re playing against all these private school kids who’ve got all the gear. I took this weird pleasure in beating them.
“When I look back on my life, I think that if I didn’t have cricket, what would I have done? Who would I be? I’ve wanted to do something like this for a long time.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Alesha Dixon has been left devastated after her beloved dog Daisy died.
The ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ judge, who has had her pet canine for the last 13 years, took to Instagram to tell her fans the heart-breaking news.
Whilst posting a snap of herself next to Daisy, Alesha, 43, wrote: “I will love you forever Daisy.
“13 years of loving you.
“My beautiful Daisy.”
Friends and fans flooded the comments section offering up their condolences to the singer.
The mother-of-two – who shares eight-year-old daughter Azura and two-year-old daughter Anaya with her husband Azuka Onoye, 41 – previously told how she enjoyed family walks in the woods with her three rescue dogs during the coronavirus lockdown periods.
Alesha said: “When the weather’s nice, we like to go to the woods with our three rescue dogs.
“Obviously the dogs still need walking when it’s rainy, but we’re not as quick to get out of the house then.
“If I could snap my fingers and go anywhere, it would be Cornwall to watch the dogs running in and out of the sea on a beautiful beach. I love the ocean.”
In 2013, Alesha admitted she had always had a penchant for pooches.
Speaking about visiting a zoo to help free three young European brown bears, who had been living in poor conditions, she said: “I have always been a huge dog lover and that’s always been my main focus. That made me open up to other animals and what they are experiencing and it just breaks your heart because once you start looking into it, it’s never ending. You never feel you can do enough.
“Romania was really shocking. I was expecting it to be bad but it was far worse when I got there.
“These bears had basically been living there for their whole lives, some of them 20 years, in cages you could barely swing a cat in with nothing so much as a tyre to chew or any fresh water.”

OHMYGOSSIP — James ‘Arg’ Argent is in a budding relationship with a woman he met in Mykonos.
The 34-year-old reality star – who previously dated fellow ‘TOWIE’ alums Gemma Collins and Lydia Bright – has been enjoying his wedding singer career in recent months, and revealed that while he was on the Greek island for a gig he met a mystery lady with whom he has exchanged numbers.
He said: “I did meet someone nice actually. I did meet a woman in Mykonos. It wasn’t a holiday romance or anything like that but we exchanged numbers and I’ve been speaking to her. She’s not English, she lives abroad. So who knows? It’s exciting anyway!”
Arg – who lost 14 stone after he underwent a gastric sleeve procedure, after his weight reached 27 stone – admitted his only “regret” about going under the knife is that he didn’t do it sooner.
He said: “Initially, when you get the operation done, it’s a bit of a shock to the system. You go from binge-eating, over-eating to all of a sudden you’re only on liquids and minimal amount of food and it’s just kind of getting your mind right.
“But as the weight drops down, you start feeling healthier and I promise you now it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. And if anyone says to me, ‘Have you got any regrets?’, the only regret is I didn’t get it sooner.
“It has worked for me and it wasn’t a quick fix. I struggled with my weight for many, many years with lots of diets and for me, it has just worked.”
However, James added that while he has “not suffered too badly” with excess skin following the weight loss, he is still “conscious” about it and admitted he will address it eventually.
Speaking on ‘Lorraine’, he said: “I’ve been quite fortunate with my age and stuff so I haven’t suffered too badly with excess skin but I’m not gonna lie, around the stomach area, there is a bit of excess skin and I’m conscious when I wear my swimming shorts around the swimming pool.
“You know like the old Simon Cowell style? That is something I’m gonna have to address but I’m quite lucky. There is excess skin but it’s minimal.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Former ‘Love Island’ star India Reynolds is pleased she didn’t have to take part in the show’s striptease challenge.
The 31-year-old star – who took part in the 2019 series of the programme – feels “grateful” she didn’t have to perform a “sexy dance” during her time on the ITV2 dating show, admitting she would’ve much rather much rather of taken part in some of the programme’s bizarre food challenges instead.
India told the Daily Star newspaper: “I know that when I was in there [that] I was so grateful that I didn’t have to do the strip challenge because I don’t think I could have done that – not sober.
“No, no way could I have done that, I would have rather done a food challenge than a sexy dance any day of the week.
“I don’t think we did a food one, I think we did a water one and that was so much fun.”
The reality star also believes ITV bosses should recruit “a lot more different body types” on the series.
She added: “I feel like there should be a lot more different body types [on the show].”
India has previously opened up about self-love and body confidence.
She said: “It’s unrealistic to every day look in the mirror and not want to wish things were a little different, but nowadays I spend a lot less time thinking about it.
“Your body is your body and you don’t want to reach 80 and be like, ‘why didn’t I wear a bikini or nice underwear all because I hated my body?’
“You’re only going to regret it. I think sometimes we spend too much time analysing ourselves.”

Jay said: “I’d much rather be with Paige than Gem. Like 1000%. Like I could literally go out with Paige, be myself and the next day wake up and have no issues, at all. Even if I’d said something wrong, or anything. But if I did that with Gem I’ve got questions to answer the next day.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Craig Revel Horwood will be “very nice and very sweet” on ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’.
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge has signed up to appear on the Channel 4 show’s upcoming Pride special alongside his friend Ben Boddard, and he admitted he will have a similar response to viewers if he ends up having to watch himself.
As quoted by the Daily Star newspaper’s Hot TV column, he laughed: “I’d probably say, ‘Who is that nasty piece of work on the end? He’s a misery!’
“I’d have the opinion as people on Gogglebox as people have on me – I really am miserable and need to smile a bit more!
“But I am actually very nice and very sweet and people will see that when they see me watching the TV!”
The acid tongued judge admitted he thought ‘Gogglebox’ was a “ridiculous” idea when it launched in 2013, but almost a decade later he has become a huge fan.
He added: “I thought, ‘Why would we be interested in watching people watching TV? It’s ridiculous.’
“And then I was hooked and loved it! It’s exactly what happens at home – people comment freely – and it’s wonderful.”
Craig and Ben will be part of the Pride special, with the lineup also seeing ‘The Chase’ star Paul Sinha and his husband Olly Levy make their first appearance on the show.
Meanwhile, Nick and Liv Grimshaw, Rylan and Linda Clark, and Duncan James and Denise Van Outen will return.
The episode will be broadcast on July 1 as part of the current series.

The ‘Our Girl’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ stars have joined the cast of the show alongside ‘Luther’ star Warren Brown and Australian actors Rob Collins, Leon Ford, Declan Coyle, David Field, Stephen Curry, Hattie Hook, Finn Treacy and Emma Hamilton.
The six-part series will tell the story of a group of Brits who swap post-war Britain for Australia in 1956.
Writer Danny Brocklehurst – who Michelle worked with on ‘Ordinary Lies’, her first TV drama after she departed ‘Coronation Street’ in 2014 – said: “‘Ten Pounds Poms’ demands an ensemble cast that we are always rooting for, actors we love and want to succeed.

“This is my third outing with the wonderful Michelle Keegan and I’m positive we will make another winner together.”
The drama will tell of Annie and Terry Roberts – played by Faye and Warren – who struggle with poor living conditions at their migrant hostel in Australia, and local attitudes towards immigrants test them in ways they couldn’t have imagined.
Michelle will star as a nurse, Kate, who arrives Down Under without her fiancé and will do whatever it takes to try and rewrite her devastating past.
Other characters include Bill (Leon), who has lost his family business back home, and teenager Stevie (Declan) who comes from a troubled background.
Filming is currently taking place in Australia.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rylan Clark was “crying all day” and considering quitting showbiz after his marriage ended.
The former ‘Big Brother’ star separated from his husband Dan Neal last summer after six years together, and the 33-year-old presenter admitted he shared the bed with his mum Linda, 69, as he struggled with their split.
He told OK! Magazine: “I couldn’t have got through the last year without my mum, she was there for me majorly. She was my entire support.
“At one point, I didn’t want to come back, I didn’t want this job any more – I didn’t want to do anything.”
Linda added: “He’s got this beautiful home, but he was here with me. He couldn’t sleep so I said, ‘Get in my bed with me’.
“He’d lost so much weight, he was just staring all the time. I was crying all day with him, and I was forcing him to eat.”
The former ‘X Factor’ star stepped back from social media, and turned his life around after starting an exercise and diet plan.
His comments come after Ryaln insisted he has to “learn to trust again” following the end of his marriage.
He said: “I’ve just got to learn to trust again. I was in a ten-year relationship and when you learn things… It f**** you up.
“I don’t know how long I’ll be f***** up for. I’m good in myself, but it’s going to take someone f****** special… It’s not a quick fix.”
Rylan previously revealed he’s looking for love again, and has a wish list of traits he wants in a potential new flame.
He shared: “My dream man is someone f****** decent, who is proud of me, who is happy when I walk through the door, who treats me with f****** respect, who loves me, makes me laugh and me do exactly the same for them – that’s my dream man.
“I don’t care if he works in Sainsbury’s or he’s a Hollywood A-lister.”
