OHMYGOSSIP — Beverley Callard doesn’t mind “growing old disgracefully”.
The 65-year-old actress – who is best known for playing Liz McDonald in ‘Coronation Street’ – feels her “world has opened up” and she’s looking forward to next chapter of her life, after moving to the countryside with her husband Jon McEwan.
She said: “It’s a really great feeling. I feel like everything is slotting into place and it feels a bit too good to be true – it’s just fantastic.
“You wonder if something bad is around the corner, but I think you just have to enjoy it, don’t you?”
Beverley found herself reassessing her life amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the former soap star insists she remains determined to have fun.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I think a lot of us have been doing that after the past two years.
“It’s made many of us really appreciate what we’ve got – I’m one of the luckiest people.
“I don’t feel any wiser at 65 and think I’m maybe growing old disgracefully … but who cares!”
Beverley stars in the new comedy series ‘Newark, Newark’.
And the veteran actress admits she jumped at the chance to appear in the show, which centres on a divorced chip-shop owner.
She said: “When I left ‘Corrie’, I was going to wait for a really good drama where I wear no make-up and look really plain and boring, very different to how viewers have seen me before.
“But this script came along and I couldn’t say no. Every character jumps off the page and the scripts are just so funny.
“Pauline is so hideously grotesque and wonderful, I just had to do it. It was so fun playing somebody so awful. She’s like a panto villain.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ could be taken off the air due to a scheduling clash with the World Cup.
The hit show is one of the BBC’s flagship TV series, but the broadcaster is currently facing a big dilemma, with the World Cup starting in Qatar in November and matches being staged at 6pm or 7pm UK time.
Despite this, an insider told the Daily Star newspaper: “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.”
In the past, there have been occasions when the BBC has decided to air the show on Friday nights. However, at the moment, it’s not clear as to how the broadcaster will look to resolve the issue.
The World Cup is typically held over the summer, meaning it’s never clashed with ‘Strictly’s usual schedule. But due to the extreme temperatures in Qatar over the summer, the tournament has been moved to later in the year.
Meanwhile, Brendan Cole recently admitted he hated being portrayed as the “competitive one” on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The 45-year-old ballroom dancer starred on the BBC show for 15 series, but Brendan confessed to feeling limited by the narrative.
Brendan – who recently competed on ‘Dancing On Ice’ – shared: “I came on the show hoping to show another side to me. ‘Strictly’ only wanted to show one side to me.
“And they really pushed that side of me. There was very much a narrative that the show went with for 15 series. And it was tiring because it was actually not me.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Richard Madeley described Chris Rock as the “worst celebrity” he’s ever interviewed after Will Smith hit him at the Oscars.
The 65-year-old TV presenter discussed his own experience of interviewing Chris, 57, during a conversation about the Oscars incident on ‘Good Morning Britain’.
Speaking to his co-host Susanna Reid, he said: “I was asked by GQ Magazine some years ago. He was the most unpleasant person I’ve ever interviewed of my entire career, and that goes back to 1972 when I started at a local newspaper.
“It was for the film ‘Madagascar’. Had it been live, it would have been abandoned.
“He was the most unpleasant, rude, aggressive, unlikeable person I’ve ever interviewed on camera, without question. His behaviour was awful in my book. He is the most unpleasant celebrity I’ve ever had the misfortune of interviewing.”
Will confronted Chris on stage after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
The stand-up star joked about Jada starring in a new ‘G.I. Jane’ movie, in an apparent reference to her shaved head, which is the result of her having alopecia.
Reflecting on the dramatic incident, the former ‘This Morning’ host added: “If a man makes a crude and rude remark about their woman, you are playing with fire … I’m not saying it’s right.”
However, Susanna had a different take on the much-discussed incident.
The 51-year-old TV presenter insisted that Will’s behaviour cannot be justified in any way.
She said: “That is an assault and it’s not OK. There is no justification for hitting another human being.”
Susanna described Will as a “great person to interview”.
But, she added: “It’s not OK to get on stage and hit a human being.”

The 45-year-old actress has confirmed via Instagram that she’s split from her estate agent partner Adrian, and she’s now raising her son two-year-old son Jaspar alone.
In a post on Mother’s Day (27.03.22), Hayley said: “Happy Mother’s Day… I’ve not posted in a long time, but I Thought today was a good time to tell you all, before you hear about it or see it elsewhere..
“This Mother’s Day is different for me, as I’m now a single mum. Mine and jaspers life has been turned upside down over the past few months.. but I realise the best thing to come out of this is jasper.
“For he is all I need.. and all I’ve ever wanted. He makes me so happy! I never set out to be a single parent.. but I DID set out to be the best mum I could be, and that hasn’t changed.
“I’m so lucky I get to be his mummy. And I’m very proud of myself for overcoming the many obstacles I’ve faced since he was born.
“To any other single mamas out there.. I salute you. Have the most wonderful day! (sic)”
Meanwhile, Hayley previously confessed that becoming pregnant at 42 years old was the “most unexpected news”.
The actress – who starred in ‘Coronation Street’ and ‘Emmerdale’ – explained why she didn’t think she’d be able to conceive, after previously suffering a miscarriage.
She said: “You get to 40 and think, I think that’s it. I’ve read there’s only a five percent chance after 40 per month of a women getting pregnant and the risk of miscarriage increases massively.
“And sadly, we did go through that and what that taught me I could get pregnant.
“[It made me think] I can do it. I got to 42 thinking it’s never going to happen.”

“I felt all of this in the space of 30 seconds. Kelvin was saying it’s a miracle, and I was thinking ‘How are we going to do this?’
“But now we can’t imagine it any other way. We feel so lucky.”

The 52-year-old TV presenter starred on the ITV show for more than a decade, but she doesn’t look back on her decision to quit the programme with any regrets.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I have no regrets at all, 100 percent.

“Most of us will outgrow our jobs at some point.”
Andrea has recently considered relocating from the UK to Florida. But the former ‘GMTV’ star – who has kids Finlay, 20 and Amy, 15 – insists she won’t make the move until her kids have left home.
Andrea – who has turned her focus to being a self-help author and running a brand with her husband – explained: “Moving to Florida is something that won’t happen for a while because of the kids and schooling, but eventually we would like to live there for the winter.
“Our business is online so we can operate from anywhere.
“The way I see it is I’m in my fifties now, I may have only 30 or so winters left so if I can choose to spend them somewhere warm then I definitely will.”
Andrea previously admitted that the coronavirus pandemic had changed her outlook on her career and life more broadly.
She said: “Last year I had a nervous breakdown. What I felt is that this year, collectively, the world has had a breakdown.
“It made me stop and think, ‘What do I actually want?’ You get one life, are you living it the way that you want?
“Are you doing everything that you want to do? Are you being brave? Are you taking chances? And I realised, no.”

Aljaz said: “On a beautiful sunny day in May 2013 one phone call changed my life forever!
“It went like this… we would like to offer you a position on @bbcstrictly as a professional dancer. A dream became a reality and it was the biggest opportunity for a 23 year old boy from Slovenia. It didn’t matter how many beautiful ballrooms I performed in during my competitive career, stepping onto the sacred Strictly floor was the most nervous I had ever been.
“A little while ago I made the tough decision that Strictly 2021 would be my last. The show has given me an opportunity and freedom to create and express myself in front of millions of people every weekend for the last 9 years. The love and support I got from the team of producers was second to none. Louise Rainbow, Sarah James, Kim Winston, Jack Gledhill are just a few of the unsung heroes behind the success of the show – I am forever grateful to them! (sic)”

“It’s hard to put into words how many beautiful memories we have had. I LOVE YOU ALL! (sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — Molly-Mae Hague suffers “excruciating” pain because she has endometriosis.
The 22-year-old star has taken to her YouTube channel to discuss her experience of the chronic condition, which can cause pain during or after sex.
Molly-Mae – who met her boyfriend Tommy Fury on ‘Love Island’ in 2019 – said: “I will be honest, I do believe the painful sex symptom is what pushed me into getting my problem fixed, into working out what was wrong with my body because not only was I doing it for me and fixing it for me, which is obviously the main reason, I was also trying to do it for Tommy.”
Molly-Mae previously had surgery in a bid to alleviate symptoms of the condition.
But some of the symptoms continue to bother her.
She shared: “In regards to the painful sex, that unfortunately never changed, it is something that is an ongoing issues.

As his wife and best friend, I could not be happier to know that he made so many smile during his time in Strictly; not just those who were watching from home, but also those who work behind the scenes. He makes every single person he encounters feel absolutely special; ask any of his partners throughout the years. He IS STRICTLY and what Strictly is all about; taking someone who wants to learn to dance, and making them truly fall in love with it. (sic)”
Janette also cannot wait for Aljaz’s “exciting adventures” in the future.

OHMYGOSSIP — Michaela Strachan says ‘All Star Musicals’ is her “dream” after getting rejected for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
The wildlife presenter has made “no secret” of her desire to take part in the BBC’s Latin and ballroom competition despite repeated snubs from bosses, but she’s delighted to be part of ITV’s new show.
She told the Radio Times magazine: “It’s no secret I’ve always wanted to do ‘Strictly’ but I’ve never been asked.
“When ‘All Star Musicals’ came along, I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is my dream.’ ”
The 55-year-old star will join the likes of former ‘EastEnders’ actress Jacqueleine Jossa and rugby star Danny Care in the show, which is set to air later this year and will see Elaine Paige and Samantha Barks coaching the celebs as they gear up to blast out a classic theatre song.
Although she couldn’t reveal any details about how she got on, Michaela insisted some things are more important than “winning”.
She added: “It’s not about winning, it’s about being the best you can be.”
Meanwhile, the ‘Springwatch’ host and former children’s TV presenter previously revealed she is “so frustrated” after continually missing out on ‘Strictly’.
She said: “Why have they never asked me?
“Every year I see the line-up and think, ‘Why was I not considered?’ ”
Michaela – who had dance training at stage school and even appeared in ‘Seven Brides For Seven Brothers’ on stage in her early career – has suggested she’d be a perfect fit for the show because of her ties to the Beeb and the “wide age group” of her audience.
She added: “I thought I’d be an obvious choice because I’m a BBC person, and I appeal to quite a wide age group. I’m so frustrated.”
