OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Foden has been voted off ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The 36-year-old sports star has lost in a skate-off against Ria Hebden, after finding himself at the foot of the leaderboard.
After his exit was announced, Ben – who was voted out by all of the ‘Dancing on Ice’ judges – said: “I thought there would be someone on the show that couldn’t skate. Turns out it was me. Literally everyone was so good.”
Despite his early exit, Ben relished his time on the ITV show alongside his professional partner Robin Johnstone.
The rugby player – who is the first celebrity to leave the series – described his partner as “incredible”.
He said: “I really have enjoyed it – this woman is incredible and it’s the people who make this experience.”
Ben previously admitted that he feared looking like an “idiot” on the ice.
The former England international revealed he was concerned about making a fool of himself in front of the British public.
He told MailOnline: “What I’m more worried about, someone’s just gonna look at me and be like, ‘What an idiot, why’s he signed up to do this show, he can’t even stand on his feet!'”
Ben also confessed that his skillset isn’t well-suited to ice skating, admitting he’s “not flexible” at all.
Speaking about the challenge, he said: “I’m really not flexible. I don’t bend well at the knee. All the habits you’re not supposed to have as an ice skater, I have them all!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Amanda Barrie believes she’d have been sacked from ‘Coronation Street’ if she’d spoken publicly about her sexuality.
The 86-year-old actress – who portrayed Alma Baldwin from 1981 to 1982 before returning in 1988 until she was killed off in 2001 – “spend a fortune” trying to keep stories about her relationships with women under wraps because she believed some of her co-stars would have refused to work with her if she’d directly addressed speculation about her personal life.
Speaking on the ‘Coronation Street’ podcast, she said: “Every week I would come up to the office. They’d go, ‘You’re coming out.’ ‘Am I?’
‘Yeah, they’ve got this thing on you.’
“I spent a fortune on solicitors because believe me if that had happened to me at that time they would not have kept me in ‘Coronation Street’ and I will stand by that.
“Not because of them [the producers] but because of people, who shall be nameless, who would’ve said, ‘I’m not working with her.’ ”
And Amanda thinks she was “ahead of the game” because of the range of gay characters and storylines on the show now.
She added: “Now, I fall about, I said, ‘Bloody hell, are they opening a gay club in Coronation Street now?’
“What’s going on? How many are they? They’re all coming out. Why didn’t they come out when I was there? I good have had so many hooks if they’d come out.
“I was ahead of the game.”
The veteran actress may have left the soap more than 20 years ago, but she’s still a big fan.
She said: “I watch it religiously. I’ll just catch up with the family.”
And Amanda treasures a very rare souvenir she has from the show – one of the famous cobbles.
She explained: “I was always wanting a bit of Coronation Street memorabilia.
“When Bill Roache had his trial that was in London I went to get a car late at night after we’d been filming, they’d taken me down in a car, and Vinnie the prop man said, ‘There’s a present for you. It’s under a tea cloth in the car.’
“And I got into the car and it was a cobble. It was because they’d been putting a ramp in for disabled people and went they put them back they couldn’t fit it in so there was one spare cobble and I’ve got it. I don’t know how many people have got cobbles from ‘Coronation Street’ but I’ve got one and I can actually tell you exactly where it came from, from outside the corner shop.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Cara Kilbey is expecting her third child, eight months after suffering an ectopic pregnancy.
The former ‘The Only Way is Essex’ star – who has daughter Penelope and son Hunter with partner Daniel Harris – has announced she is six months pregnant.
The 34-year-old beauty wrote alongside a mirror selfie of her showing off her bonny bump on Instagram: “6 Months Baby. Baby Harris Due in May.”
Last May, Cara revealed she had been rushed to hospital for emergency surgery after suffering from an internal bleed as a result of the ectopic pregnancy, which is when a fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb.
She wrote at the time: “I’ve been quiet on Instagram recently…
“Last month I found out I had an ectopic pregnancy that had ruptured and caused an internal bleed, so was rushed into theatre for an emergency op… (sic)”
Cara revealed her latest stint in the medical facility was due to kidney stones.
She wrote: “Now I’m back again, but this time with kidney stones.
“Think I’m overdue a holiday.”
In March 2015, she tragically suffered a miscarriage but fell pregnant with firstborn Penelope later that year.
She said at the time: “I was so nervous up until the 20 week scan. I’ve been trying to relax and enjoy my pregnancy but there’s always been a niggle of worry.
“Now I’ve got past that point and everything is perfectly healthy, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can start getting excited.”
Several of Cara’s fellow ‘TOWIE’ stars have congratulated her.

OHMYGOSSIP — Sid Owen has become a dad for the first time age the age of 49.
The actor – who starred as Ricky Butcher in the BBC soap ‘EastEnders’ from 1988 until 2012 – welcomed his first baby with fiancée Victoria Shore over the weekend.
Alongside a picture of himself wearing scrubs in the hospital and kissing Victoria on the cheek, he wrote: “Been a long a day. But. Can I say. I love you Victoria. Thank you for our baby.”
Sid’s former co-stars from ‘EastEnders’ were quick to send their congratulations to the happy couple, including Patsy Palmer who played his wife Bianca Jackson in the soap.
She said: “Congratulations to you all.”
Daniella Westbrook – who is known to soap fans for playing Ricky’s childhood sweetheart Sam Mitchell – also weighed in with her well-wishes.
She commented: “Congratulations daddy and well done Victoria.”
The happy news comes after heartbreak, as the couple – who initially dated for a period of time 20 years ago before reconnecting on Facebook in 2020 – suffered a miscarriage in early 2021 which left Victoria feeling “shocked” and “numb”.
She told The Sun on Sunday: “One evening I noticed there was some light bleeding. Instinctively I was worried because when you’re pregnant it’s an ­immediate cause for concern. It got progressively worse through the evening and I had pain in my abdomen, I couldn’t sleep and my mind was racing.
“The bleeding got heavier and didn’t stop, so the next morning we went to the hospital. I was pouring with so much blood, I was surprised they were able to use a probe. They told me I’d lost the baby as there was nothing there and was just sent straight home.
“I felt so shocked and numb. I was bleeding for days after and it was bewildering, I didn’t know what to do with myself.”
Sid previously revealed that he “never dreamt” he would become a father and previously spoke of his delight when Victoria – who has two children from a previous marriage – discovered she was pregnant again back in September 2021.
He said: “I never ever dreamt I would have kids. The older you get the more distant that idea seems, you give up hope sometimes, so it is a miracle it has happened.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh gets hot and steamy on stage in ‘Fatal Attraction’.
The former ‘Coronation Street’ actress, who appeared as Michelle Connor on the ITV soap alongside Oliver Farnworth, took to the stage with her former co-star in a new role which saw her getting down and dirty between the sheets.
Kym, 45, plays Alex Forrest in the play, who is the mistress of married lover Oliver’s characters Dan Gallagher.
When Dan ends up having a weekend affair with woman who refuses to let it end, she becomes obsessed. Her obsession leads to fury and manipulation and a plot for revenge against the man that scorned her.
The play – which was written by James Deardon, is based on the 1987 motion picture of the same name that stars Michael Douglas and Glenn Close – debuted at the Royal Theatre in Brighton this week.
Kim admitted that she was terrified of getting naked on stage with Oliver, 39 having to perform raunchy sex scenes in front of an audience.
Kym, who had been preparing for the role by hitting the gym ahead of the live show, told The Sunday Mirror’s Notebook: “Oh I’m terrified, absolutely terrified. I’ve been fortunate enough to have been in the acting game for a long time now and this is something I’ve never actually done – it’s going to be a challenge in itself.
“But I think once I’ve done it once it will be done. And it’s not real! It’s just another side to the part I’m playing.”
She added to The Sun: “Nobody needs to see this body right now. I’m 45, I’ve had four children and I’ve not had an easy year with my fitness — it had to go on the back burner.
“There is one particularly racy scene, and I must admit that’s a bit daunting. I’ve never had to do intimate scenes like that, so this is all a very new thing for me.
“I just need to feel confident doing it, so I’m working hard at the gym to try to get in shape.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Penny Lancaster has revealed her battle with menopause left her with crippling anxiety.
The TV personality, 50, – who joined ITV’s ‘Loose Women’ panel in 2014 – was in tears as she broke down last year on the show as she spoke about the detrimental effects menopause has had on her mental health.
Penny who sought help from a doctor following her symptoms said that she was experiencing crippling anxiety and uncontrollable tears.
She told viewers: “I had a few tears with her [the doctor], trying to explain what I’ve been going through in the last few months and she said, ‘You’ve got to get to the point where you say to yourself, ‘I see you’.
“You’d feel guilty for being upset, and then you go for coffee with a friend and they say, ‘How are you, everything good?’
“And then you burst into tears and you don’t know why you’re crying.”
The doctor had prescribed the former model with anti-depressants. Even though they did help she felt that they did not solve the underlying problem and acted like a “form of plaster that covered it up” instead.
Penny – Who shares two children with husband Rod Stewart, 77 – began taking Hormone Replacement Therapy tablets, after speaking to an expert that appeared on ‘Loose Women’. These tablets allowed Penny to come off anti-depressants completely.
However despite minimizing the other symptoms, she still suffered with anxiety.
She told Hello! Back in October, that those suffering should seek help from their loved ones.
The mum-of-two recalled one incident where she lost control of her emotions and had a meltdown.
Penny said: “I was calling the boys [son Alastair, 15, and Aiden, 10] down for dinner, and getting impatient.
“When they eventually came into the kitchen, rowing, I screamed and threw a plate of dinner across the room and burst into tears.
“Rod was worried for me. We’re honest and talk openly about everything, but I didn’t know how to explain why I was feeling the way I did.”
Penny, who was freaked out at first has learnt to embrace the menopause and accept it being a new stage in her life.
She added: “I’ve got to say goodbye to the old Penny and say hello to the new one.’ I felt it was all shutting down around me.
“But as you get older you embrace each stage of your life with more maturity, and give yourself a bit of a break.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lauren Goodger is pregnant with her second child.
The 35-year-old reality star – who has been in a relationship with Charles Drury, 24, since 2020 – fell pregnant just eight weeks after giving birth to their daughter Larose in July 2021 and suffered from “mum guilt” upon discovering the pregnancy because there will be such a close age gap between them.
She said: “We weren’t very careful and Charlie was really pleased, but being honest I was really in two minds about it. I was like, ‘I’m just getting myself back together – I’m going back to square one. Is this fair?’ You get real mum guilt, like, ‘What about Larose? She’s still a baby, she still needs me, I won’t be able to be there for her.”
The former ‘TOWIE’ star briefly split from Charles back in November 2021 and explained that “a lot went through [her] mind” but ultimately decided to go through with the pregnancy when he urged her not to have a termination.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she said: “A lot went through my mind which is why I’ve held out a bit longer until I’ve announced it. Charlie was like, ‘I really want this baby.’ And I said, ‘So do I.’ I made the decision to go ahead with it and I’m so glad I did. We had that little break [in November] and he came back and was like, ‘You’re not having a termination – I want this family.’ I knew deep down I was going to go ahead with it, but I was scared. I’ve got to think of Larose too. But if I had a big gap between children, I’d get myself sorted, Larose in a good routine and then I’m back to square one. I might as well do it now when I’m in new baby mode.”
The news comes just days after it was reported that Lauren had dumped Charles when he admitted to sleeping with Instagram model Amy Gilbert when they were on a break, leaving the relationship in a “really funny stage” and “up in the air”.
She said: “Last week I was like, ‘This isn’t happening right now.’ It’s a really funny stage – we’re doing our own thing. It’s been a rocky time and it’s been really hard for me. But I’ve got to focus on the pregnancy and the baby. I’m a very hands-on mum, it’s all on me, so it doesn’t feel much different. I’m here on my own with my mum and my baby. Charlie’s really hurt me so I don’t know what the future holds. At the minute it’s all up in the air. We need to get a co-parenting schedule together.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Doctor Who bosses are “considering a range of radical options” to improve ratings following slump in viewing figures.
The BBC sci-fi favourite – which currently stars Jodie Whittaker as the titular Time Lord – pulled in an audience of 3.4million for the New Year’s special, the lowest ever since 2005.
A TV insider told The Sun: “The new team are considering a range of radical options in a bid to revive the flagging fortunes of a programme which is adored by millions around the world.”
The source went on to claim that this could see the BBC “put space” between Jodie’s exit from the role and the reveal of her successor, who is yet to be announced.
The source added: “That could see them take the decision to put space between Jodie’s time in the Tardis and that of her successor. Which means she may not be seen regenerating into the next doctor. She has already wrapped filming on this year’s special episodes, and a new Time Lord has yet to be revealed.”
Speculation over who will replace Jodie as the Time Lord has built since her exit from the show was announced, with Years & Years singer Olly Alexander and his ‘It’s a Sin’ co-star Omari Douglas hotly rumoured to be taking on the iconic role, but the BBC has remained tight-lipped on who the new star will be.
A spokeswoman for the show said: “There are lots of exciting plans in store but viewers are just going to have to wait and see.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Coronation Street’ and ‘Emmerdale’ are set to move to new timeslots.
The ITV soap operas will undergo a schedule shake-up from March 2022, which will see ‘Coronation Street’ ditch its split episode format and move to three hour-long instalments on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday at 8pm whilst ‘Emmerdale’ will remain as a half-hour show but will be broadcast every week night at 7:30pm as opposed to its current slot of 7pm.
In a statement, ITV said: “The nation’s two most popular continuing dramas, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, are fundamental to the success of ITV, and we know that, as with all dramas, viewers increasingly watch them whenever, and however they choose. The new scheduling means that viewers can watch them live on TV in one go in a continuous soap fix, as well as on ITV Hub where they are regularly in the most watched shows every month.”
The new scheduling will put the soaps in a direct clash with BBC rival soap opera ‘EastEnders’, which airs four times a week at 7:30pm, 8pm and 8:30pm on varying nights.
Along with the announcement, John Whiston, ITV’s Managing Director of Continuing Drama promised fans of ‘Coronation Street’ that the new format would give the long-running soap a “brilliant new canvas” whist Yorkshire-based soap ‘Emmerdale’ will “do what it does best” in its new timeslot.
He said: “With ‘Coronation Street’ bursting at the seams with fantastic story and character, the new format gives the show a brilliant new canvas on which to shine. And ‘Emmerdale’ will do what it does best in this new time slot where viewers can continue to enjoy the dramatic goings on in the Dales.”
