OHMYGOSSIP — ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’ has been moved because of the World Cup.
The ITV show will be moving its premiere date from end of November to end of October, as this year’s World Cup is being held in the winter in Qatar.
A TV insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “The best thing for viewers was to just avoid the clash altogether. The last thing anyone wants is for the audience to have to choose between the latest from the jungle and an England game.”
The World Cup usually takes place in the summer, but has been switch to the winter time this year due to the soaring temperatures in Qatar in June and July.
As a result, ITV has been forced to change the schedule for ‘I’m a Celebrity, with the long-running show kicking off on October 30.
Las month, meanwhile, a source revealed that the BBC was weighing up different ways of resolving a potential clash between ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and the World Cup.
The hit show is one of the BBC’s flagship TV series, but the broadcaster is facing a big dilemma, with matches being staged at 6pm or 7pm UK time.
A source said prior to the draw: “BBC bosses are confident there will be plenty of room for footballs and glitterballs this autumn.
“We haven’t had the draw yet so it is early days to speculate on what games the BBC and ITV will pick to show.”
England are among the favourites for this year’s tournament, while Wales and Scotland are both still trying to qualify for this year’s World Cup.

She told The Sun newspaper: “There is a WhatsApp group with like everyone in there pretty much. I think it’s quite dead. But it’s not in a malicious way.

She confessed: “They’re the only people you have around you.
“Obviously you’re friends with them but sometimes when you go into the real world as an adult you’re never going to be friends with everyone.

“There’s no bad blood. I mean, not from my heart anyway.”
Meanwhile, Faye Winter previously revealed that some of her co-stars have already stopped speaking to her.
Speaking to Vicky Pattison on her ‘The Secret To’ podcast, she said: “A lot of the ex islanders, they had a lot of opinions on me, some ex islanders.
“And I don’t know them, and I don’t take people’s opinions when I don’t know them to heart at all.
“But it was the one opinion, that I thought, ‘you know what goes on’, and I thought, like hang on!
“I am a little bit, like, I’ve come out and there were obviously a few that didn’t want to talk to me. And i was like, ‘oh don’t you?’
“Well don’t f*****g talk to me, unless you want to say sorry!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Harpreet Kaur’s sister will remain a shareholder in their dessert parlour business – even though Lord Sugar is yet to meet her.
The ‘Apprentice’ star recently won Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment, and her sister Gurvinder is poised to remain as a shareholder and a director of the company.
Harpreet explained: “My sister is going to remain as a director in the business. They made a big deal of it on the show but it’s not that big of a deal.
“Lord Sugar is getting two for the price of one and is looking forward to meeting my sister but if it stopped him from investing then she was going to step down.”
Harpreet insisted Lord Sugar has no problem with Gurvinder’s involvement with the business.
She told MailOnline: “During the interviews there was nothing they said about the business plan, they had no issue with it. I was so confident because I thought if the only problem is the company structure, not the business itself, then I’m onto a winner.
“They had no problems with the costs, expenses, figures, so if it was just a case of my sister being a shareholder then we were happy to change it but she’s going to stay.
“We didn’t have to argue or anything – it was a bit of fun TV editing but Lord Sugar doesn’t have a problem.”
Meanwhile, Harpreet also revealed she’s currently “too busy” for a relationship.
The TV star admitted she’s fully focused on her business efforts, rather than her love life.
She said: “It would be lovely to settle down one day but right now if someone asked me on a date, I’d say yes, the 15th December 2023 – I am too busy.
“Unfortunately, any potential dates are going to have to wait. The man of my dreams could walk past me, and I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.”

OHMYGOSSIP — CBBC star Chelsie Whibley has died at the age of 30.
The actress – who starred in ‘Dani’s House’ and ‘Sadie J’ – passed away on Saturday (02.04.22) after being rushed to a hospital in Southampton.
In a statement, her husband Glyn said: “Chelsie took a rapid turn for the worse and became unresponsive. She was rushed to Southampton General Hospital.
“It is with deepest regret that I have to inform everyone that our dearest beautiful Chelsie sadly passed away this afternoon at 2.45pm.”
Chelsie suffered from cystic fibrosis, which can cause breathing difficulties, and she was considered to be in the high risk category amid the coronavirus crisis.
However, Glyn revealed she wasn’t in any pain when she passed away.
He said: “It was very quick and she was not in any pain.”
In 2020, Chelsie admitted she feared she might not live long enough to see the end of the COVID-19 crisis.
The actress was ordered to quarantine because of her health issues, but she was desperate to spend more time with her friends and family.
Chelsie – who needed round-the-clock oxygen support at the time – said: “For me, every day is so precious that spending them under lockdown is like having them stolen.
“It feels like even more time is being taken away from me. It’s just heartbreaking beyond words.
“I know that seeing my friends and family is too dangerous and it could be enough to tip my body over the edge.
“But on the other hand, I don’t know how much time I have and it breaks me knowing I can’t see them. I love them all so much and I just want to be with them because I know I don’t have long left.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Dan Walker has insisted he has “never been motivated by money” as he opened up about his decision to leave the BBC for Channel 5.
The 45-year-old star is to replace Sian Williams as the Channel 5 News anchor and he will also front “a whole host of new programmes across the channel”, and he has addressed his upcoming departure on today’s (05.04.22) ‘BBC Breakfast’.
While sitting alongside his co-host Sally Nugent, he said on the show: “This has been a really difficult decision, probably the hardest decision in my career because I love you to bits and I really love working here and I love the team at ‘BBC Breakfast’.
“The six years I’ve had on this sofa has been the best six years of my career by some distance, but I think sometimes opportunities come along and you have to grab them, don’t you?
“I’ve never ever been motivated by money in any job I’ve ever taken and even though I love ‘BBC Breakfast’ and everyone who works on the show, this is a fantastic opportunity to work with a brilliant team on Channel 5 and also go and make some other programmes outside of news.”
Dan told his Twitter followers yesterday (04.04.22) how the new opportunity was “too good to turn down”.
He said: “I can’t wait to get stuck into the daily news show, but I am also excited about making some great new TV for Channel 5.
“I love their ideas and creativity and it’s rare to get an opportunity like this where paths and ambitions meet. The chance to do something different was too good to turn down.”
Dan – who previously hosted ‘Football Focus’ – admitted he will leave the BBC “in the next few weeks”.
Just last month, Dan admitted he didn’t see himself “going anywhere soon” when asked about his ‘BBC Breakfast’ future.
He said: “I genuinely don’t know. Honestly, I can’t say I’ll be here for 10 years because who knows? I think I told you before, I definitely wouldn’t stay as long as Bill Turnbull’s been knocking about for. I love new challenges, but I love this challenge. And I really love the programme and I love working with the people so I don’t see myself going anywhere soon.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Altman says June Brown was like a “second mother” to him.
The former ‘EastEnders’ star has paid tribute to his late on-screen mum, who passed away last weekend aged 95, admitting his own mother used to say she looked more like a mum to him than she did.
John – who played ‘Nasty’ Nick Cotton in the BBC soap, opposite June as his ma Dot Cotton – said: “She was a dear friend. Someone I could confide in, and probably my second mother, really.
“My real mother said she looked more like my mother than she did!”
John admitted the late Albert Square icon had “slowed right down” when he last saw her around a month ago.
He explained: “She was tired. She’d slowed right down.
“I’d like to say, so much thanks and God bless her family who’ve been fantastic, rallying round her – they’ve taken great care of her.
“She didn’t have to go into a home or anything. She spent her last days in her lovely home in the Surrey Hills.”
John also remembered June’s kindness to people and admitted it would take her ages to walk from the ‘EastEnders’ set to the canteen because she would often stop and chat to others.
He said: “I used to tell her off, ‘June, you can’t do any more charities’. She said, ‘Oh dear, I have to’. She supported the donkeys, among many others, Children with Cancer, The Taverners – she just couldn’t say no.
“We’d walk to the canteen at the BBC and it would always take about half an hour because she’d stop along the way chatting to people. She was so kind. She used to say healing prayers, actually. She was quite a spiritual person – she definitely believed in a higher power, something more than we know, perhaps. We were a good team.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Louis Theroux will interview Stormzy for his new TV series.
The 51-year-old star will chat to the British musician on tour and at home in an in-depth encounter as part of his new six-episode BBC Two and BBC iPlayer show, which currently has the working title ‘The Louis Theroux Interviews’.
Louis said: “I’m so excited to be embarking on this new series – something very different to the kind of TV I normally make.
“This will be a chance to meet and spend time with people I admire, getting to know them, having long form and revealing conversations, with honesty, emotion, and humour.
“To be kicking off with the genius that is Stormzy is proper pinch-me stuff. I can’t wait to get going.”
Louis will sit down with a different guest in each episode.
Clare Sillery, Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, History and Religion, said: “Louis is one of the most distinctive voices in broadcasting and his unique interview style, warmth and curiosity help bring out incredible life stories from those he meets.
“I am pleased to see him returning with a series that I’m sure will deliver insightful and memorable conversations and bring viewers closer to some of the most exciting names who are shaping culture in Britain today and across the world.”
Louis recently admitted he “wrestled” with amplifying “harmful” voices in his latest documentary series, ‘Forbidden America’, in which various people express racist, misogynist and homophobic views.
Asked if he was anxious about giving space to people with dangerous views, he said: “That’s a great question and it’s something I’ve wrestled with a lot.”
