OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins would need “the Sharon Osbourne treatment” to ever return to ‘Big Brother’.
The 43-year-old reality TV star appeared on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ in 2016 before appearing on the civilian version the following year as part of a shopping task, but it would take millions of pounds to get her to appear on the new ITV revival.
She told Closer magazine: “I’d need about £5 million and the Sharon Osbourne treatment. I think she did it beautifully.
“She got up when she wanted to get up, came out with her hair and makeup done, and her outfit put together.”
As well as a reportedly huge payday, Sharon was the show’s first ever celebrity lodger, meaning she had a limited stay in the house, and even slept in her own room while being immune from nominations.
The GC – who rose to fame on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ – revealed she is “ready” to return to the world of reality TV after needing “a bit of a break” from living life for the cameras.
She explained: “I had a bit of a rest from it all, because I was living a reality life, not a real life.
“I had to have a bit of a break to let my own life flow. In reality TV, there’s got to be something new every day. I’ve had that time now and I’m ready to come back.”
Through her time in the public eye, Gemma has learned to “set boundaries” between what everyone else sees, and her true self.
She said: “It’s always important to set boundaries. People will always take liberties with you, and if you do put a boundary in place, you’re seen as a diva.
“But I’ve always stood my ground. People know where they are with me. You’ve just got to be really strong in this industry.
“I’m tough in showbiz, but behind closed doors… God, I’ve only got to look at my dog and I melt. I’m very different when I’m not working.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Laverne is in hospital after being diagnosed with cancer.
The BBC Radio presenter – who hosts the broadcaster’s beloved ‘Desert Island Discs’ programme – revealed she was “recently” diagnosed with the disease, but she is “expected to make a full recovery”.
Sharing a photo from hospital on Instagram, she wrote: “Right then, some personal news… I recently had a cancer diagnosis.
“It was (thank God) caught early and unexpectedly during a screening test and I am expected to make a full recovery.”
Lauren, 46, went onto thank the medical staff who have been taking care of her “with incredible skill and kindness”, as well as her loved ones for their “extraordinary” support.
She continued: “I’m in hospital at the moment and wanted to take this moment to say thank you: Firstly to the medical teams who have got me this far with incredible skill and kindness.
“To my family and friends who have been absolutely extraordinary every step of the way – I am so very grateful and love you so much.
“And of course thank you to my colleagues – including those at @itg_ltd, @bbc6music, @bbctheoneshow and #DesertIslandDiscs for their support – and for giving me the time off that I need to get better.”
She urged anyone who might be “putting off an appointment” to get themselves checked to try and catch any potential illness in its early stages.
She added: “I also want to say that if you’re avoiding a test or putting off an appointment to get yourself checked out please, please do it today.
“Half of us will get cancer at some point, and if you do, finding out asap is everything.
“It’s usually my job to bring the good vibes on air but any you have to spare are very much welcome here.
“Sending loads of love to anyone in a similar boat, or who has made it back to shore. xxx”

OHMYGOSSIP — Rylan Clark picked up “a few” dating tips while filming ‘Dating Naked UK’.
The ‘This Morning’ presenter has revealed he got some pointers while fronting the new Paramount+ reality series – which will arrive on the streaming service on Friday (23.08.24) and sees a load of singles in their birthday suits looking for love – after finding himself as a “single guy” following his divorce from Dan Neal in 2021.
The 35-year-old television personality told Digital Spy: “It was really interesting because obviously I’m a single guy.
“So watching – and not only just watching – but studying as the host how people date now is quite new to me.
“I’ve not dated for such a long time so, I mean I picked up a few little lines, shall we say.”
When it comes to the new show, Ryan suggested that a real “connection” was fostered between the couples because everyone is “so bare”.
He said: “There’s this connection that just happens in the series that because they’re naked, I mean you can never be that raw, you’re so bare – physically and mentally – that you have no choice but to get to know the person.
“You know when you meet someone in a bar, or you’re dating someone, you have that sort of play up of ‘Oh, I can’t wait to see them without their clothes on’, but that element is gone.”
The former ‘The X Factor’ star mused how the show “feels raw” and vulnerable due to the lack of clothes, but “not sexual”.
Rylan added: “And it’s not sexual, the show doesn’t feel sexualised because these people are naked, it just feels raw and that in turn builds better connections.”
And the ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ star admitted his mother Linda is “definitely” is a fan of the show “already”.
He said: “Yeah, Linda will definitely watch it, 100 per cent. Probably shouldn’t say this, she’s already seen a couple of episodes and she loves it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ferne McCann has reportedly signed up for ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The 34-year-old reality TV star is said to be the first name set to take part in the upcoming series of ITV’s celebrity figure skating competition, which was won earlier this year by ‘Coronation Street’ actor Ryan Thomas.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “It’s been a rough few years for Ferne but she has always been an ITV star, with her roots on ‘TOWIE’ and then with her first steps into the mainstream on ‘I’m A Celebrity’ in 2015.
“So Dancing on Ice will be a chance for her to knuckle down, work hard and win over the public.”
In 2022, she faced backlash over leaked audio of her seemingly criticising the victims of her acid attacker ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins, while she later apologised for the comments and said they were “manipulated, edited and taken entirely out of context”.
Earlier this year, Ferne hit out at the “mum police” for slamming her decision to embrace breastfeeding.
She has daughters Sunday, six, with former partner Arthur and 13-month-old Finty with fiancé Lorri Haines, and previously insisted that there is nothing “attention-seeking” about the act of breastfeeding a baby in public.
She told OK! Magazine: “I’m not anti-formula. In fact, I gave Sunday formula after I stopped breastfeeding her. What is so important is that mothers have a choice – it’s not for everyone and that’s OK.
“It grows resilience and I love the warmth of snuggling up to my baby and feeding her from my body. It blows my mind. I’ve had a few comments saying, ‘All feeding is the best.’ I think it’s whatever is best for the mother and the baby.
“Lots of people think you are attention-seeking, but you’re not. It’s literally capturing a moment of motherhood.
“For me, it [breastfeeding] has given me complete joy, peace and gratitude. I think, especially with motherhood, people online can be opinionated, which is fine. I’ve said before, I welcome the mum police in. It really doesn’t bother me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Paddy McGuinness is glad to see Freddie Flintoff “back and better” after his ‘Top Gear’ crash.
The 46-year-old TV star stepped away from the spotlight after sustaining facial injuries and broken ribs in the 2022 accident, which ultimately led to the BBC shelving the iconic motoring show, being shelved, before returning for a second run of his ‘Field of Dreams’ docu-series.
Opening up on his pal and former co-host’s telly return Paddy, 52, told ITV’s ‘Good Morning Britain’: “When we did ‘Top Gear’, we’re that close because you’re together all the time going around the world so you have a real bond.
“Seeing him do stuff like that, it’s so good to see him back and better.”
However, he remained coy about the future of the programme, but he thinks the situation “will all get sorted” one day.
He said: “I sound like a politician now.
“I can’t really get into the ins and outs of it because there’s all stuff still going on with ‘Top Gear’ and what have you, so at some point it will all get sorted.”
Retired cricket legend Freddie has admitted he “should not be here” after his horror crash.
In an emotional home video recording in the aftermath of the accident and later featured in ‘Fields of Dreams on Tour’, he said: “I am struggling already and I need help. I really am. I’m not the best at asking for it. I need to stop crying every two minutes.
“I genuinely should not be here after what happened. It’s going to be a long road back and I’ve only just started.
“I’ve got to look at the positives, I’ve got another chance, and I’m going to go at it. I’m seeing that as how it is – a second go.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Luana Santos has left ‘Coronation Street’ after one year.
The 18-year-old actress joined the cobbles as new character Sabrina Abetiba, the girlfriend of Max Turner (Patrick Bever), in June 2023 but has now exited the ITV soap, and will be attending drama school.
She wrote on a behind-the scenes picture posted to her Instagram Story: “Last day with Corrie… thanks for everything @coronationstreet.
“Drama school here I come.”
Details of Sabrina’s final storyline are yet to be revealed.
Her exit comes after the “sudden” departure of Martin Platt actor Sean Wilson, after the 59-year-old actor had originally been planned for a Weatherfield return as part of Helen Worth’s final stint playing Gail Platt, a role she held for 50 years.
Luana – who began her time on ‘Coronation Street’ credited as Bec because the audience and Max were led to believe she was the sister of Gav Adetiba (Noah Olaoye) – previously opened up about her “surprise” at getting the gig when she first appeared on the show.
Back in June 2023, she told Wigan Today: “As a kid, I was always a performing type of character so I suppose I always knew that acting was something I’d do in the future.
“Initially I started voice acting through Little Projects online and once I joined college that was mostly TV and theatre, and that’s when I got my agent through college.
“Once I got my agency, it was my first self-tape that I got around February and it was for the role of Bec and I ended up landing it as my first job.
“I was so surprised because I was panicking about everything I did in the self-tape, I was criticising myself constantly. I thought ‘it’s my first one, I’m obviously not going to get it’ and when I got the email I was in college. It was a huge shock.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sven-Goran Eriksson would like to be remembered as “a good man”.
The former England manager – who was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer back in January and given less than a year to live under the “best case” scenario – has revealed how he would like to be remembered after he passes away in the new Amazon Prime series ‘Sven’, which explores his feelings about his life and mortality in his native Sweden.
In an emotional farewell message in the documentary, the 76-year-old football coach says: “I had a good life. I think we are all scared of the day when we die, but life is about death as well. You have to accept it for what it is.
“Hopefully at the end people will say, he was a good man but everyone will not say that. I hope you will remember me as a positive guy trying to do everything he could do.
“Don’t be sorry, smile. Thank you for everything, coaches, players, the crowds. It’s been fantastic. Take care of yourself and take care of your life. And live it. Bye.”
Elsewhere in the film, Sven looks back at his life and family on a trip to Fryken lake near his hometown of Sunne in the Scandinavian country.
While standing at the body of water, he ponders: “Beautiful place, it makes you calm. It make me calm. Below the mountain there my father grew up.
“Straight ahead, that is Thornsby where I grew up. And Sunne where I was born.
“I always thought it’s a great place to sleep. The ashes could be thrown into the water here. It feels like home.”
The ex KB Karlskoga footballer previously dated former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star Nancy Dell’Olio, and has been with partner Yaniseth Bravo, 54, for 15 years.
In the programme – which also features comments from players he has coached such as David Beckham, 49, Wayne Rooney, 38, Roberto Mancini, 59, and Kasper Schmeichel, 37 – Sven opens up on coming to terms with his illness and treatment.
He adds: “Life is not 100 per cent. I’ve had many injections for many months, now they [doctors] changed it to taking pills.
“It is a lot of big effects on the throat and the nose, but that is part of it and I can live with that. But I know life will not last forever. But I am OK.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Richard Osman would fight Jake Paul for $100 million.
The ‘House of Games’ host made the admission while he was chatting about the 25-year-old boxer Tommy Fury – who is the younger brother of Tyson Fury, 36 – and his recent split from his ‘Love Island’ girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague, and claimed the 25-year-old boxer’s recent fight with the likes of 27-year-old YouTuber Jake and KSI, 31, is “pretend boxing”.
Speaking on his ‘The Rest Is Entertainment’ podcast – which he co-hosts with 50-year-old newspaper columnist Marina Hyde – the 53-year-old broadcaster said: “He didn’t make a lot of the actual boxing.
“He made a lot of the pretend boxing with KSI and Jake Paul. If I say pretend boxing, maybe Jake Paul will call me out.
“You know what? One night in Vegas with Jake Paul, just, you know… Hit me for 100 million, I’ll do it.”
Richard admitted his confidence comes from his height, although he expects the fighter would “beat” him if they did get in the ring.
He quipped: “Yeah, I’m 6ft7, mate. I could take him, no, I think Jake Paul would beat me in a fight. I think he would.
“But you know, a couple of million. I’d be happy to do that. Yeah.”
The former ‘Pointless’ co-host made the comments while discussing Tommy and Molly’s breakup after they met on the ITV1 reality dating competition in 2019.
Molly-Mae wrote On Instagram: “Never in a million years did I think I’d ever have to write this. After five years of being together I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.
“I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.”
The ex PrettyLittleThing executive added that she “will forever be grateful for the most important thing to me now and always, my beautiful daughter”, 20-month-old Bambi.
Molly-Mae, 25, said: “Without us there would be no her, she will always be my priority”.
Tommy issued his own statement, writing on the social media platform: “The last five years have led us to having our beautiful baby girl, Bambi and I will be forever thankful to Molly for making me a day. Bambi is our priority.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jeff Brazier “doubled down” on his parental responsibilities after Jade Goody passed away.
The reality TV star died from cervical cancer in March 2009, aged 27, and Jeff – who had Bobby, 21, and Freddie, 19, with Jade – subsequently put even more focus on his parenting.
Jeff, 45, said on the latest episode of ‘Celebrity Race Across The World’: “I think when the boys lost their mum I really doubled down on putting all of my time, effort, attention, focus on my children.
“I needed to be there, helping them to navigate whatever the future was going to look like for them given their loss. And I’m still playing that role.
“But yeah the more Fred does for himself, I know that he can start to push on in life.”
Jeff admitted that he’s often been “too serious” with his children.
However, he hopes that will change in the coming months and years.
The TV star – who was in a relationship with Jade between 2002 and 2004 – shared: “It’s hard to switch off and sometimes I think I’m being too serious.
“Just everything is my responsibility, and it has been for such a long time, because I think as a man you probably don’t rate your chances of coping, so you do what comes naturally to you which is to take all the responsibility and just focus on the situation.
“I have absolutely 100 percent lost the ability to play, but I think that it’s something that I need to regain. I think I need Freddie to show me really, and I need to get back to … I need to get back to what I used to be. I’m sure that’s possible.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ant and Dec will star in a new travel show alongside longtime friend Stephen Mulhern.
ITV has confirmed ‘The Accidental Tourist’ will see the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ co-hosts send their pal to Asia to “broaden his horizons”, but the ‘Deal or No Deal’ presenter admitted the programme is like the “world’s worst bucket list”.
A synopsis reads: “‘Catchphrase’ and ‘Deal or No Deal’ host Stephen is a man who likes what he knows – and that does not include travelling to exotic locations, trying new foods or being pushed out of his comfort zone in any way.
“But now Stephen has asked Ant Dec to help him finally change his ways… and they have decided to send their good friend to Asia to broaden his horizons.”
The one-off special is expected to see Stephen “encounter epic locations, exotic cultures and cuisines, incredible people and places and exhilarating activities”, which he wouldn’t have chosen himself.
Ant admitted the show will be “a lot of fun” for him and Dec, but “not so much for Stephen”, while Dec added: “We can’t wait to send Stephen off on his exotic journey of self-discovery and see what he uncovers.”
Stephen is “nervous” about trying new foods and drinks in Asia, because he’s never even had a cup of coffee before.
He said: “Travelling and adventure have never been on my list of favourite things … so to say I’m nervous would be a huge understatement!
“This project sort of feels like the world’s worst bucket list.
“There are lots of things I love in life, just as much as there are things I don’t like; fancy food, exotic places, and even the sound of the cutlery scraping on the food tins on ‘I’m A Celebrity’ can tip me over the edge!
“I’ve never even had a cup of coffee … so don’t get me started on avocado! In this case, I can’t help but feel I’m going to be facing them all! I like to have a lot of laughs during the shows I present, but I’ve got a sense you’ll be seeing a lot more emotions than just laughter on this journey! I hope you enjoy it and please wish me luck!”
‘The Accidental Tourist’ is to be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX in 2025.
