Chloe added: “It was such a fantastic experience filming with the BBC for ‘Hot Property’.
“I loved meeting Filly who kept me laughing as I was nervous about my blind date… but you will have to keep your eyes peeled to find out more!”
Scott – who dated Kady McDermott after their stint on ‘Love Island’ – is giving love another go.
He said: “I genuinely had the best time filming ‘Hot Property’ with Yung Filly!
“This guy’s energy is amazing and we got up to some right mischief scoping round the three properties.
“I definitely didn’t expect to find what we found, and my final date was very different to what I’m used to. But I loved the whole experience!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Katie McGlynn has left ‘Hollyoaks’.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ star’s character Becky Quentin was written out of the Channel 4 soap, just months after she joined the cast in June last year.
The 28-year-old actress – who played Sinead Tinker on the rival ITV soap between 2013 and 2020 – admitted she relished the opportunity to take on a “gritty” storyline that has helped to “raise awareness of fake news and conspiracy”.
She began in a lengthy Instagram post: “Becky Quentin, over and out! @HollyoaksOfficial. It’s been an absolute pleasure playing Becky and getting my teeth into something so different and gritty!”
“As an actor, to be able to portray someone that has so much likeness to extremely current global issues from conspiracy theories to anti-vaxxers, coronavirus and sinophobia… I really hope the storyline has helped raise some important issues and helps people see how easy it is for someone to be sucked into this whole world of fake news and conspiracy!”
The former ‘Waterloo Road’ star teased that she has “exciting opportunties” to look forward to.
She continued: “Thank you to the entire cast and crew for being so unbelievably amazing and welcoming me with open arms! I will miss you all, but other exciting opportunities beckon…
“If anyone has been affected by the subjects covered throughout Becky’s time on Oaks, please visit: www.channel4.com/4viewers/help-support/hollyoaks-help-support #hollyoaks #becky #beckyquentin #sinophobia #conspiracytheory #conspiracy #fakenews #channel4.”
Several fans have suggested Katie could be set to reprise her role as Jodie ‘Scout’ Allen on ‘Waterloo Road’.
Meanwhile, Katie previously admitted landing the role of Georgina Clarke in ‘The Syndicate’ saved her career.
She said of the 2021 TV drama: “As soon as I left ‘Corrie’, I didn’t expect to get any work. I thought I’d give it a year. And I didn’t expect the pandemic.
“So when I got the call from my agent about ‘The Syndicate’, I couldn’t believe it was actually happening. I felt so grateful I could work. I counted my blessings.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Gemma Collins was at loggerheads with her mum over comments made about her self-harm.
The 41-year-old TV personality opened up about her self-harm in upcoming Channel 4 documentary ‘Gemma Collins: Self-Harm and Me’ and questioned her mother’s approach to her struggles.
Ina teaser for the doc, the former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star told her mum: “I obviously needed some sort of help or support at that time.”
Joan responded: “Which you would have got if you just spoke about it, when you done it, we didn’t want to bring attention to it.”
Gemma called her parents out for their approach and turning a blind eye to what was going on, which Joan justified by being too busy.
Gemma said: “But what’s more important, life being busy or your daughter cutting themselves?”
In the one-hour documentary, Gemma speaks about her troubled past with therapist Mandy Saligari as well as her fiancé, Rami Hawash and meets other people that went through a similar experience to her.
Her mum continued: “You seemed okay; you were always supported. The problem is obviously with you, it wouldn’t have been from home life or… you had everything. You was happy.
“I don’t even know why you did do it. I just thought at the time were you copying someone off the TV.”
The ‘Diva Forever’ star seemed frustrated at her mum’ attitude towards her struggles and reminded her that those who self-harm often “hide it” from their loved ones.
She said: “Well self-harming people hide it. It’s hard for you to deal with I know
“You can laugh because it’s probably your way of coping with it, and it’s fine. I get it, I get it, I understand.”
‘Gemma Collins: Self Harm and Me’ airs tonight (16.02.2022) on Channel 4.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tess Daly “refuses” to count calories.
The 52-year-old presenter – who has Phoebe, 17, and Isabella, 12 with husband and fellow TV star Vernon Kay – claimed that she had never heard of calories until she became an adult and “wouldn’t dream” of mentioning the concept to her daughters.
She said: ” My mum never dieted, and that word was never mentioned in our house. I grew up in a traditional northern household where dinner was meat, potatoes and vegetables.
I didn’t realise there were calories in food until I left home at 19, and I have been on a taste journey cooking for myself ever since. I do not calorie count. I refuse. And I wouldn’t dream of mentioning calories to my young daughters.”
The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star – who was started her career as a model at the age of 17 – went on to explain that she found it “disturbing” to see others suffering with eating disorders in the fashion industry.
Speaking to The Metro newspaper, she added: “When I worked in the fashion industry and saw people who were not eating sensibly, it was really disturbing to me that food could become such an issue, when in fact, it’s such a pleasure to enjoy.”
Tess also revealed that she cannot imagine life without “naughty snacks” but insisted that she balances things out by cooking “healthy, whole foods” for the family.
She said “I always need a cuppa at 4pm. And I can’t have it without some chocolate or a biscuit. ‘Everything in moderation. I cannot picture a life without naughty snacks and cake, but I enjoy cooking healthy, whole foods at home for my family.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Ainsley Harriott says he was prevented from getting jobs in posh restaurants before of racist attitudes.
The former ‘Ready Steady Cook’ presenter claimed he always ended up knowing when he wasn’t going to get role because he was black.
The 64-year-old television chef told BBC Radio 4’s ‘The Food Programme’ that “it got to the stage where in five minutes I knew ‘I ain’t gonna get this gig’ due to his skin colour.
The ‘Ainsley’s Good Mood Food’ host boasted having all the necessary skills for the role but still faced barriers.
Ainsley said: “And I was qualified for it, I was certainly up for it, hungry and that’s what you want – someone who is hungry, not just taking it because the money is right.”
Ainsley – who was awarded with an MBE in 2020 and has sold over 2 million cookbooks- was “shocked” to be on the receiving end of bigotry and feels it does nothing to create a well-oiled machine.
He said: “I was a bit shocked if I’m being honest with you, because when you work in a happy environment, you create a happy environment, especially when it’s your chef, your guys and your team, you don’t feel that neglect.”
The veteran food broadcaster – who began his restaurant career in the 70s – found it “really good” when people were upfront with their racism, as opposed to pretending it was something else.
He said: “It was really good that they were able just to tell me straight as opposed to putting a load of nonsense in there or just say “You’re not quite what were looking for.”’
After developing a passion for cooking at five-years-old, he was inspired later in life by meeting Clifford Walker, a fellow Black chef at a French restaurant.
Ainsley said: I’d seen a few Asian cooks but I’d never seen a black chef like that, laughing and joking, and for me that was everything.
“I thought ‘This is where I wanted to work.”’
However, he fell in love with cooking because of the ability to make “people happy”.
Ainsley said: “I started cooking at five, I loved the reaction that my mum got, my dad sometimes too, when they cooked and I saw people’s faces and I thought “This is great, what an easy way to make people happy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Gregson is in talks to host a motoring show.
The 47-year-old actor – who has played taxi driver Steve McDonald on ‘Coronation Street’ for over thirty years – is looking to team up with ‘Wheeler Dealers’ host Mike Brewer and ‘Salvage Hunters’ presenters Paul Cowland and Drew Pritchard for a new TV series which will explore his passion for cars.
He said: “I’m very good friends with Mike Brewer and Paul Cowland and Drew Pritchard, who all do car shows, of course. And we’re actually in talks at the moment about possibly getting something off the ground.”
The telly star – who last year took time out of the ITV soap to compete on ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here’ – then went on to explain he would “absolutely love” a presenting slot on the BBC’s flagship car programme ‘Top Gear.’
He said: “I’d absolutely love to [host ‘Top Gear’]. Ever since I could push a little car around the carpet they have been a huge passion of mine. And yeah, it’s just the best job in the world to present that show.”
Simon – who has sons Alfie, 14, Harry, 12, and six-year-old Henry with his wife Emma Gleave – could also be trying his hand at writing after the idea for a children’s book called ‘Fergus the Tree Hump’ came to him in a dream.
Speaking on TV show Ireland AM, he said: “I woke up at 4am and I had this dream, it was like a cartoon, the full title, including music, and the visual look of Fergus. I woke up and thought, ‘I’m going to have to write this down”

OHMYGOSSIP — Former ‘Footballers’ Wives’ star Laila Rouass and Ronnie O’Sullivan have split.
The 50-year-old actress revealed on Twitter that she and the six-time world snooker champion had gone their separate after nearly a decade together.
Laila tweeted: “After nearly ten years of love and memories, Ronnie I have parted ways. Peace and love to you all. Laila X (sic).”
The couple first got together in 2012 and have been engaged since the following year.
Ex-‘Holby City’ star Laila previously revealed how the duo first crossed paths when she was house-hunting and that their meeting came about by chance.
She said: “It happened by accident. I was shown around Ronnie’s house by his father, who told his son about meeting me.
“Ronnie called the estate agent, a friend of mine, and asked me out via her.
“When she said he was a snooker player, I said, ‘Yeah, but what does he do for a living?’ I’d never heard of him because sport doesn’t interest me at all, although Ronnie’s won me over to snooker.”
The pair never tied the knot despite being engaged for several years and Ronnie previously suggested that the pair were not in a rush to get married.
Speaking in 2019, the 46-year-old sports star said: “We’ve been engaged for a while now, so we know we want to be with each other, I’m sure we will get round to it.
“We’re very casual and laid-back about the whole thing anyway. When it happens, it will happen. I love her, I love her company, I admire her.
“She’s good for me in many ways and understands me and the business and gets it and what I go through.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mel Giedroyc is fronting a new podcast to celebrate telly.
The ex ‘Great British Bake Off’ host will discuss a whole host of celebrities – including Sanjeev Bhaskar, Hugh Dennis and Kirstie Allsopp – on the new podcast, ‘My TV Years’, launching next week and produced by the magazine TV Choice.
The 53-year-old comedian told The Daily Star: “Telly plays such a central role in all our lives and that’s why I’m going to be discussing all of this, from reminiscing about old favourites to looking at current TV obsessions, with some of the nation’s favourite TV stars as they tell me about their TV years.”
Mel – who is married to Ben Morris, a TV director with whom she has two daughters Florence and Vita – is best known for her comedy partnership with fellow funny lady Sue Perkins, 52, with whom she fronted the culinary completion show from 2010 until 2016.
In 2020, the pair shared how they “resigned” – along with Mary Berry – from the hit TV show when it moved from BBC to Channel 4, branding it as “unkind.”
Sue said: “We resigned, basically because it was not a kind show. They were pointing cameras in the bakers’ faces and making them cry and saying, ‘Tell us about your dead gran.’ So we had very stiff words about how we wanted to proceed. I think we can say that, now we’re out of it, can’t we?”
‘My Favourite Telly Years’ – in partnership with TVChoice – will be launched across streaming platforms from Wednesday 23 Feb, with a new episode released every week.
