Bookies have slashed his odds of being sent packing this weekend from 8/1 to 3/1. Oo-er.
Peter Andre on Strictly - It Takes Two 24 November 2015
From day one it looked like Peter Andre and his dance partner Janette Manrara were headed to win the Strictly Come Dancing trophy, but the shock news just in is that they could be LEAVING this weekend.
What? What? What?
In the wake of rumours that show bosses have fixed it so that Peter stays in til the end, William Hill slashed their odds for the 42-year-old reality star and singer to go home from 7/1 to 3/1.
Everything kicked off last weekend when Peter and Janette found themselves in the dance off against Jamelia and her dance partner Tristan MacManus.
Jamelia was sent packing by threee of the four judges despite gaining a higher dance score than her Australian competitor.
She said on It Takes Two, the Strictly spin-off show, that: ‘It wasn’t until they re-recorded Pete’s standing ovation, I’d say that was the moment we knew we were going home.’
Yikes.
Although Pete’s chances of going home don’t look great, William Hill have still placed two other contestants to leave the show before him – Kellie Bright and Katie Derham.
The Wanted’s Jay McGuiness is currently favorite to win the show.
The news comes just days after Peter’s ex-wife Katie Price publicly announced that she was rooting for him to win the show.
Despite the couple’s turbulent relationship, Katie appeared on Good Morning Britain and said: ‘I always thought he’d win. He’s a really good dancer.’
She admitted that Junior was a bigger fan of the show than Princess as he was the ‘entertainer’ in the family, and that she thought Pete was ‘doing well in it’.
Looks like Peter’s just going to have to work to prove that he still deserves to be on that dancefloor.
We’ll be whooping him on tomorrow night from the comfort of our sofa…

The 'Mercy' singer once owned a house that fell down unexpectedly in south-west London
Oh dear – a house that used to be owned by singer Duffy is now no more, after it unexpectedly collapsed on Thursday.
According to BBC reports, the Georgian property fell down during a basement extension – eek! The house had six bedrooms, four bathrooms and three reception rooms.
Although estate agents say that she has sold the property, Duffy – real name Aimee Duffy – is still registered there on the electoral roll.
Local man Stephen Beard saw the building collapse while walking his dog. Speaking to the BBC, he said: ‘I was able to get my camera out and take a photograph, which shows the dust blowing up from the collapsed building.
‘It was quite dramatic. I was going along for a peaceful walk and then this happens.’
Thankfully though, no-one was hurt.
Duffy, 31, first shot to fame in 2008 with the release of her album Rockferry, which spawned the singles Warwick Avenue, Stepping Stone and the unstoppable Mercy – it even got her a Grammy nomination!
Love her or hate her, Lady Colin Campbell is actually full of some very important life lessons - here are some of them
This series of I’m A Celebrity has seen socialite and royal writer Lady Colin Campbell become one of the most explosive camp-mates in the show’s history.
A Marmite character she may be, but aside from all the dramatics and extremely sharp-tongued quips, some viewers may have failed to notice that Lady C is, in fact, overflowing with wisdom.
But never fear – because we’re so kind at Now, we’ve assembled eight of the most valuable Lady C life lessons for your benefit. Feel free to thank us later…
Yes, you read it right – two-year-old North West wants her own style website
North West is the coolest two-year-old on the planet
When we were two, we’d be busy watching Teletubbies and having tantrums because we had to go to bed at 7pm, never mind browsing on fashion websites and having opinions on style. But the life of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter North is, er, pretty different to say the least.
The mini fashionista is such a dab hand with her iPad that she’s been getting familiar with style blogs – and even follows fashion-focused Instagram accounts like @indiaroseco and @AlealiMay – and now she wants her own fashion blog. Yes, really!
An insider tells us: ‘She’s got this little template where she can drag pictures of things she likes. She picked out a pair of Christian Louboutin pumps and put them on her page, picking out symbols to show what she thought of them with a sunshine face and four thumbs up! She even asked Kim to write “fierce” for her under an Alexander McQueen jacket that she liked.
‘Kim loves the idea and wants to put the blog in the public domain, but Kanye feels they should wait until she’s older before she joins the Kardashian fashion business.’ Oh, go on, Kanye. We need to check out North’s style advice!
From her brith name to twerking confession... did you know all these facts??
Miley Cyrus witha a bong
From squeaky-clean Hannah Montana to controversial star… 11 things you didn’t know about Miley Cyrus!
Born under a different name
Destiny Hope Cyrus was born in Franklin, Tennessee, on 23 November 1992 but was
later nicknamed Smiley – then shortened to Miley – because she smiled so much as a child. In 2008, she officially changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus.
Health issues
She was born with a condition called tachycardia, which means that her resting heart rate exceeds a normal beat. She’s revealed: ‘The type of tachycardia I have isn’t dangerous. It won’t hurt me, but it does bother me. There’s never a time onstage when I’m not thinking about my heart.’
Being bisexual
Miley was 14 when she told her mum Tish that she was bisexual. In an interview with Paper magazine, she revealed: ‘I’m literally open to every single thing that’s consenting and doesn’t involve an animal and everyone is of age. Everything that’s legal, I’m down with. Yo, I’m down with any adult– anyone over the age of 18
who is down to love me.’
Moneybags Miley
Last year Miley made it on to the Forbes Celebrity 100 rich list at 17th place, with annual earnings of $76.5 million (£23.4 million) – more than Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift. Wowzer.
Battling depression
Miley’s candidly revealed: ‘I went through a time where I was really depressed. Like,
I locked myself in my room and my dad had to break my door down. I had really bad skin and felt really bullied because of that. But I never was depressed because of the way someone else made me feel. I just was depressed.’
Banned fromthe Kennedys’ Xmas celebrations
Miley was dating Arnold Schwarzenegger’s actor son Patrick last December, but his mother Maria Shriver – niece of assassinated US President John F Kennedy – reportedly said it would be inappropriate to have her around the Kennedys at Christmas. Ouch.
Admits taking ‘happy’ drugs
Miley’s talked openly about her penchant for drugs, revealing: ‘Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And Molly [Ecstasy], too. Those are happy drugs – social drugs. They make you want to be with friends. You’re out in the open. You’re
not in a bathroom.’
Family drama
Miley has five siblings – Trace, Brandi, Braison, Noah and Christopher – and her dad is country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. Although he’s been married to Miley’s mum Tish since 1993, they’ve split more than once before reconciling. In 2013, Miley seemed to accuse her dad of having an affair, Tweeting: ‘@billyraycyrus since you won’t reply to my texts I’m giving you an hour to tell the truth or ill tell it for you [sic],’ alongside a photo of actress Dylis Croman, who co-starred with Billy in a production of Chicago. Miley later deleted the Tweet and neither Billy nor Dylis commented. Billy and Tish are still together now.
She’s a college course. Really!
New York’s liberal arts school Skidmore College has a course for students who actually want to study her. The course, Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender & Media, is taught by professor of sociology Carolyn Chernoff. Can we enrol please?
Body image struggle
In 2013, concerns grew for Miley’s health after she admitted to only weighing 7st 10lb. However, she put her weight loss down to food allergies, saying: ‘For everyone calling me anorexic, I have a gluten and lactose allergy. It’s not about weight, it’s about health.’
Giving up twerking
She’ll always be remembered for that twerking performance at the 2013 MTV VMAs, but Miley recently claimed: ‘I’ve retired [from twerking], yeah.’ Twerking is so two years ago!
The I'm A Celebrity campmate has revealed the scariest thing she’s facing in the jungle is her crippling body insecurity
Vicky Pattison takes a shower in a gorgeous orange bikini
Aside from her gobby persona on Geordie Shore, what really shot Vicky Pattison to fame – and into our hearts – was her dramatic and inspiring weight loss. Since 2013 she’s shed a mighty 3st, so you’d imagine that she couldn’t wait to show off her toned figure in the jungle onI’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here!
But actually, Vicky, 28, admitted in an interview with Now just before she entered the camp that she still feels cripplingly insecure about her body. She revealed her biggest fear is that she’ll be stripped bare on I’m A Celeb so people will see all her faults, as she won’t be able to control the way she looks using social media apps like Facetune.‘I’m not very body confident at all,’ she told us. ‘I know everyone thinks I’m going to be swanning about in my bikini loving myself, but I’m not. I’m quite shy.
‘I like Facetune and all of these apps where you can adjust your skin and your face before you feel happy popping up a picture on Instagram. It’s going take a bit of getting used to. I hate being papped around the pool when you don’t know about it – and this is that times a million. There’s no make-up, no straighteners and everything’s stripped back.’
Vicky regularly airbrushes her pictures, particularly to hide her body black spot: her ‘Xena Warrior Princess thighs’. Even in her publicity shot for the show you can see she’s chosen long shorts to cover them up. But without her usual image-manipulating tools to fall back on, Vicky’s terrified people will see what she really looks like without all of the trickery.
She admitted that, with this playing on her mind, she hit the gym even harder than usual before she flew out to Australia. She told us: ‘I ended up having four days off before I came away, so I got four personal trainer sessions in and a couple of facials – and I got waxed.’
Despite some of her previous eye-watering antics in the Geordie Shore house, Vicky insists there is no way she’ll be stripping off while she’s down under. ‘I’m a bit of a prude, so I’m worried about the cameras,’ she told us. ‘I’ll never be naked. I’ll never allow myself to be naked in the jungle. I’m quite boring in that respect.’
What about an ‘Myleene Klass’ iconic bikini moment, though? Vicky told I’m A Celebrity – Get Me Out Of Here Now! host Joe Swash: ‘I’m equal parts excited and terrified. I tried to have a little go in the shower the other day and I felt like such a helmet.’
It’s the rumour that just won’t go away. We reveal all on Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick...
Linking arms, Scott Disick and Khloe Kardashian share a joke during an outing in LA.
Khloé Kardashian and Scott Disick have faced false accusations before that they’re a bit too close for a brother and sister-in-law. But they’ve now been hit by unsubstantiated claims that, while in rehab at Cliffside Malibu, Scott, 32, confessed toKourtney Kardashian he’d slept with Khloé.
Scott and the Kardashian family have strenuously denied the claims. So what is the deal with Khloé and the father of her sister’s three children? They’ve been seen holding hands and shared a bed and a bath on camera. Earlier this year, Khloé, 31, joked: ‘We’re sleeping together apparently. We’re the best of friends.’ Even though there’s nothing going on, looking at these pics you’d be forgiven for feeling awkward…
In an episode of KUWTK, Scott’s forced out of his bedroom with Kourtney and gets under the covers with Khloé, asking to stay for ‘a few weeks’ arguing: ‘A night or two will turn into more. That’s how me and Kourt started.’
Wrong sister!
Khloé said of a pic where Scott is holding her hand as they walk alongside Kourtney that ‘Scott accidentally grabbed my hand – he thought it was Kourtney. We can’t really be mad at the rumours because we think it’s humorous…Who’s going to sleep with their brother-in-law? This isn’t Jerry Springer.’
Explaining a too-close-for-comfort picture where Khloe and Scott are holidng hands, Khloé said: ‘Scott grabbed my hand but, like, interlocked fingers. It was for two seconds and I was like: “Ahhhhh! You don’t interlock fingers with your brother-in-law.” It was so weird.’ Agreed.
Making waves…
There’s understandably tension with Kourtney over their close relationship. Khloé’s previously admitted: ‘We’d know not to, like, hang out as much… we don’t want to rile her up.’
Katie Price sure has changed, so take a look at how her style has with her...
Next year marks 20 years of full-blown Katie Price and we still haven’t got enough of Britain’s own glamour princess. But as long as there is a Katie Price, fame, love and heartbreak are not far behind, so it’s unsurprising that she has changed so much over the years!
It all began in 1996 when she adopted the now retired glamour model name of Jordan, and was offered a job by The Sun as a Page 3 model. This kick-started a glamour model career that saw bigger boobs, botox and bitchy feuds with Jodie Marsh.
Yet modelling was not all she offered as Katie, always the philanthropist, ran as a candidate in Stretford and Urmston during the 2001 General Election, promising free breast implants (of course), more nudist beaches (yep, great), and a ban on parking tickets for her constituents (erm… practical?). Unfortunately, her plan ‘For a Bigger and Betta Future’ only won her 713 votes. They don’t know what they’re missing, Katie.
Life took a serious turn in 2002 when she became pregnant with her first son, Harvey, by former footballer Dwight Yorke. Harvey was born with multiple disabilities – and Dwight allegedly claimed he was not the father – so it was up to Katie to step up to this new challenge alone. Unsurprisingly, Katie is an amazing mum, and continues to be to all children. You go girl!
Katie, among being a mother, reality star, and model, is also a writer, publishing her first autobiography in 2004 Being Jordan, propelling her into first place of the Nielson BookScan hardback sales chart.
Her life changed again on the third series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, where the nation watched as the first reality TV celebrity love story unfolded between her and Peter Andre. The pair married, starred in several reality shows together, and had two kids: Junior (2005) and Princess (2007). However, what happened after Happily Ever After, for Katie, was heartbreak: the pair divorced in 2009.
What followed was a storm of tumultrous relationships, solo reality shows, a troubled return to I’m a Celeb… , two more children (Jett, 2013; Bunny, 2014 both by current husband Kieran Hayler), as well as some breast reductions, she is back in the nation’s heart again, having won Celebrity Big Brother 2015. With allthis going on in her life, Katie has stuck to her varying degrees of bombastic dresses, bright clothes and staying truly Katie.
Is Nadine Coyle getting frozen out of a possible Girls Aloud reunion?

GIRLS ALOUD ARE THE CHRISTMAS NUMBER 1 - (L-R) NADINE, NICOLA, SARAH, KIMBERLEY AND CHERYL
'GIRLS ALOUD', LWT STUDIOS, LONDON, BRITAIN - 22 DEC 2002
Brace yourselves, Girls Aloud fans – your prayers may soon be answered. A second Girls Aloud reunion might on the way – as a foursome.
While Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, 32, is still close to Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Robertsand Sarah Harding, an insider reveals there’s too much bad blood between Cheryl and Nadine Coyle, 30, for them to work together again. A music industry insider tells us: ‘Cheryl ‘s working on one of her biggest career plans yet, to get some of Girls Aloud back together for a new record – but Nadine is definitely not invited. She’s feeling really put out by the whole thing.
‘Cheryl wants to get in the studio and have each of the girls making cameo appearances on songs she’s been working on for release next year. She hopes that will warm people up to the band again and then they can come out with an explosive new album on the back of that. But Nadine won’t be a part of it.’
It’s well known that the girls’ last split, after their 2012 reunion, was acrimonious. Kimberley, 34, wrote in her 2013 autobiography A Whole Lot Of History: ‘In the end… I just didn’t know how to relate to [Nadine] any more — none of us did.’ She also admitted she was ‘uneasy’ about the 2012 reunion, saying: ‘By the time we got to the actual shows, some of the old problems and niggles we had with Nadine started bubbling to the surface again. Nothing had really changed.’
Although Nadine strongly denied that she ever wanted the group to split at the end of their Ten tour, Cheryl slammed her claims as ‘full of shit’ in November 2014. She then promptly unfollowed Nadine on Twitter – and still hasn’t followed her back, although when we checked, Nadine’s still following Cheryl. Awkward.
Nadine, who now lives in the US, has been back in the UK recently, but our insider says she’s still getting radio silence from Cheryl and the girls – and hasn’t even been invited to The X Factor, as the rest of the girls are each week. ‘Cheryl and Nicola were tied up working together in the studio and the other girls in the band haven’t really reciprocated Nadine’s attempts to get in touch,’ says our insider.
‘Nadine would be on the plane back to the UK like a shot if the girls wanted to reunite, but it’s 100 per cent clear she won’t be invited to do anything. They’re very much a gang of four now and Nadine isn’t part of that.’
Liam Payne recently split from long term girlfriend Sophia Smith
Devastated Liam Paynehas been desperately bombarding his ex Sophia Smith with ‘up to 50 messages a day begging for forgiveness’. The couple split in October, just hours after One Direction cancelled a show in Belfast amid rumours Liam had suffered a ‘mini-meltdown.’
But Now can reveal that Liam, 22, is doing everything he can to win back his childhood sweetheart and regrets dumping Sophia, 21, so much that he’s been spending all his time messaging her and saying how much he misses her.
Talking exclusively to Now, a source close to Liam reveals: ‘After his mini-meltdown in Belfast, all he can think about is Sophia and what a mess he’s made of everything. He’s been sending her 50 texts a day trying to soften her up and trying to convince her to give the relationship another shot.’
But our source adds that Liam’s bid to win her back isn’t working and his continued efforts aren’t enough to heal Sophia’s broken heart just yet, leaving him absolutely distraught at the thought they won’t be spending Christmas together. ‘Sophia’s still really angry and feels humiliated he ditched her out the blue like he did,’ says our source.
‘She’s been replying to his texts and told him she’ll meet up, but only when she’s ready. At the moment Sophia’s worried that Liam isn’t taking responsibility. She thinks he was very selfish and she wants to know that he won’t repeat the same mistakes and take her for granted again.’
Three in this relationship?
Liam’s other ex, beauty blogger Danielle Peazer – who split with him in May 2013 – sparked rumours they could reunite after she Snapchatted a picture of his pet turtle Boris. Danielle, 27, also Tweeted: ‘Publications offering me a job… then trying to make me talk about recent hardships of others. Keep your offer.’ Ooh…
WATCH! Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson caught smoking at the BBC Music Awards
Louis Walsh speaks to Now about The X Factor, I'm A Celebrity and his future plans...
Louis Walsh on ITV's 'Loose Women' TV Programme, London 25 September 2015
It’s 9.50am at the Soho Hotel, London, and Now is having breakfast with Louis Walsh. He had toast and a cappuccino, BTW. Louis may not be on The X Factor judging panel this year but he’s still best mates withSimon Cowelland is the most brutally honest celebrity we know, which means he’s the best person to tell us exactly what’s going on in the world of what was Saturday night’s biggest show. With falling ratings, being trounced by Strictly and even talk of Louis, 63, being brought back to save The X Factor, there’s already a lot to talk about. Add to that the chatter about him maybe entering the I’m A Celebrity jungle and we’re already on our third hot beverage…
It’s lost the older audience, to be honest with you, and they’re all watching Strictly. I’m best friends with Simon and he’s always been really good to me, so I’ve only got good things to say about him, but I think he made too many changes. I’m not slagging the show off, but he made too many changes.
Does Simon want you back?
He’d like me back because he knows he’s safe with me. He knows I love the job and that I work really hard. It’s like Laurel and Hardy between us. He did want me back for this series and I nearly did come back as the fifth judge, but now I’m glad I’m not there because I’m free!
Free to do I’m A Celebrity?
I’m not in the jungle because Simon advised me not to do it and that’s the reason.
Why did Simon tell you not to do it?
Probably because it’s a bigger show than The X Factor!
Did you seriously consider going into the jungle?
Yes, I did. I met them [the producers] three times, so I was serious about it. They offered me crazy money and if I don’t do any other show next year, then I’ll do the jungle.
But would you do The X Factor over I’m A Celeb?
I’d prefer to do The X Factor because that’s what I do, but only if it was the right people and if it was gonna be fun. I had great fun with Sharon Osbourne, Nicole Scherzinger and Gary Barlow. We had amazing fun that year. We were great friends and we’d all go out and have fun together. It needs to be fun and it needs to be a challenge. I wouldn’t want to do it just to be on TV. I have to believe in the show.
If you do go into the jungle next year, what’ll scare you most?
Well, I can’t swim, the no food thing, the lack of sleep and I’m not exactly a teenager… I’d be a grumpy old man in there. I think people would see the real me – but I think they’d still like me! Cleanliness, bugs, sleeping out in the open, jumping out of a plane, being in there with some horrible people and wannabes… But it’s only three weeks and you know what? The X Factor is three months and that was a jungle! They’re both jungles, that’s the truth, and there were quite a few snakes on The X Factor – and that’s just the judging panel…
Talking of the panel, how do you think the judges are working this year?
I think Rita Ora’s fantastic and amazing and she’s brilliant on the show. The fact is she can sing and dance and she always looks different – sometimes bad, but always different. A week ago she looked like Bet Lynch on the Sunday show! I like her.Nick Grimshaw’s doing… OK. He was thrown in the deep end.
You say there’ve been too many changes this year?
It’s not the old X Factor. The old X Factor was when we were all in a small room talking to people and getting sob stories and funny stories and Sharon and I would start laughing and people were more open. With the full audience there, it’s just not the same.
Do you think Simon knows that?
Yes, I think he knows now that there’ve been too many changes.
Simon’s come under a lot of criticism because the ratings aren’t good. He’s not a man that likes to fail, is he?
He’s not and I’m sure he’ll change it next year. He’s always had the biggest show but he still loves what he does. I was with him two weeks ago and he still has that passion and love for it, but it’s time to change it.
Will there be big changes when it comes back next year, then?
I don’t even think Simon knows yet. But he’s plotting…
Does the format feel old?
I think it’s lost its heart.
And Dermot O’Leary…
Dermot is missed – he’s a safe pair of hands and it totally shows on the live shows because he’d never, ever mess up on anything. He was a true professional and he wore nice suits.
There are rumours Dermot might do The Voice now that ITV’s bought the show. Do you think he will?
I think Dermot will make the right decision. He knows what he’s doing and what’s the right thing for him – he’s ahead of the posse and he’d be really good for The Voice. It’ll be a big TV show.
Strictly Come Dancing’s currently Saturday night’s biggest show. You’ve said before that you’d do it – would you really?
No, I wouldn’t – it’s too much hard work. I’d be like that Jeremy Vine guy. No, I really wouldn’t.
It’s not for me.
So if you do come back to The X Factor next year, who’d be on the panel with you?
Simon, me and Sharon Osbourne and probably Nicole Scherzinger. I think that’d be the best show because we all know what we’re doing, we all know a good bit about music – even Simon! We know what we want and the thing is, Sharon was the one person who Simon couldn’t control and I love that about her.
Coming back, would you be different as a judge?
Yes, I’d be more outspoken and more cheeky and I’d tell it like it is. I’d have no fear of anyone.
I like Caroline a lot. I don’t know why she gets so much flak [we see what you did there, Louis!] because she’s good at her job. She’s a bit of a tomboy and I like that. When she was doing The Xtra Factor we always had the best fun. She was going out with Harry Styles at the time and I’d be making jokes and innuendos about boy bands and directions. I wish people would give her a chance. Olly… is a great singer.
Perhaps the format of two presenters isn’t really working?
I think it’s too much at the moment. But it’s the best show as a platform for showcasing new talent. The Voice never had an act. You can’t be fake or stagey.
Do you think people think The X Factor feels fake now?
People have watched this show for 11 years now – they know what goes on.
Are you happy not being part of The X Factor this year?
I have no stress in my life now. I wake up and I’m happy. I was so stressed out each year – working on The X Factor was like a 24/7 soap opera. There was always something to do and I really did mentor the acts – and sometimes some of the other judges’ acts. Ask [Cheryl’s act] Rebecca Ferguson – she’ll tell you. If you’re in it, you have to be in it and I was totally invested in it. I also think it’s missing a Wagner or a Jedward – an act that gets talked about. You didn’t necessarily like them but you’d turn the TV on to see what they were doing. They were the fun factor and they haven’t had that this series. My favourites this year are Louisa Johnson and Ché Chesterman – they have great voices.
We hear Girls Aloud are making a comeback…
Are they?
But without Nadine Coyle…
Look, Girls Aloud without Nadine is like the Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger or The Beatles without John Lennon. She’s the voice – she sang on every track. She’s one of the best singers I’ve ever heard. She should’ve married a footballer, she’d have had a great career… [Ouch!] I don’t know what she’s talking about when she talks – it’s hard to work out the accent – but she’s an amazing singer.
So apart from being ITV’s most wanted man just now, you’re enjoying some time off ?
Yes, but I’m managing Shane Filan, who’s great, and boy band Hometown. Their album will be No 1 in Ireland this week, so I’m keeping busy! I’m working with Sony on the launch of the Bravia TV with inbuilt YouView, which allows you to scroll back up to seven days of live TV, which is perfect for me. I’m out a lot andI watch so much television, so it’s useful for me. I’m having fun – and it’s looking like I’ll be doing Ireland’s Got Talent…
Geordie Shore's Gaz Beadle thinks 'bipolar' Vicky Pattison is 'playing a game'...
EDITORIAL USE ONLY - NO MERCHANDISING

Vicky Pattison
'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' TV show, Australia - 25 Nov 2015
Vicky is appointed camp leader
*From this point onwards, read entirely in Geordie accent*
HOWAY MON!
It seems our resident Jane of the jungle (if Jane was someone you, like, really wanted to go for a pint or twelve with) Vicky Pattison hasn’t quite been swinging the likeability vines of one fellow Geordie Shore-r, Gaz Beadle…
Speaking on ITV2 show Get Me Out of Here Now!, 27-year-old Gaz explained he feels Vicky is ‘playing a very safe game’.
He continued, ‘I’ve known her for a long time and she’s the most argumentative person I’ve met in my life. At the minute she’s playing it very safe and trying to get everyone to like her’.
And guess what people- we have all fallen victim to that pesky Pattison charm! You might be fooled into thinking you like Vicky, but in reality you probably don’t- or at least, that’s what Gaz thinks.
He explained, ‘Vicky can make anyone like her…She’s very good but very bipolar as well, she can flip and kick off like that’. We’re calling it Likeception, a bit like inception but with likes.
And it looks as though Gaz is searching for a side of lightly salted cashew nuts with his jungle fever, as he then added he would love to see Vicky ‘go nuts’, because ‘that’s the Vicky I’m waiting to come out… I would love her to have an argument’.
It’s okay Vicky- just wash those haters away you sexy, sexy jungle beast….
And Brooklyn somehow STILL manages to look ridiculously cool....
Hey everyone, let’s all gather round and be really honest for a minute or two…
If we could choose anyone in the world to embarrass us, it would most probably be David Beckham. That’s just a fact. To be honest, we’d probably actively encourage it. No qualms- go on Becks, you know you wanna…
We can presume, however, that things are a lil’ different when you’re as cool as Brooklyn Beckham.
And it seems as though David has been up to some typical ‘Dad tricks’ of late- you know, snoring and being embarrassing and other typical ‘Dad things’ of that manner e.g….
A recent Instagram post from 16-year-old Brooklyn shows the teen having a good old snooze, which has been captioned ‘Rocking the old school Ralph Lauren’. Rocking, indeed.
So here comes the plot twist, people- buckle up….
40-year-old David has commented on his son’s snoozy snap with a simple yet somehow earth shattering ‘that’s my jumper’. Jeeez, is it hot in here or is that the Dad roasting we can feel….
It’s highly likely that Brooklyn currently has the pending question of a good old Instagram ‘block’ to debate over, as this really isn’t the first time David has pulled a clever one on the young’un.
A previous Instagram post saw the teen celebrating reaching one million followers. However, all celebrations were ceased after a comment from Becks reading ‘I have 52 [million]’. *Becks drops mic*
Oh David, you are a mare…. (please please please embarrass us)
In a shock turn of events, the I'm A Celeb campsite has been evacuated!
There has been more than a rumble in the I’m a Celebrity jungle of late- and we’re very much sure that Lady C will be anything but impressed…. THE ENTIRE CAMP-SITE HAS BEEN EVACUATED, PEOPLE!
But before you let your mind wander to the furthest corners of your conclusion jumping mind (bugs, lions… VICKY PATTISON BITING PEOPLE?!), allow us to explain…
This years camp mates have been struck by an almighty Aussie storm! *Opens umbrella for dramatic effect*
According to The Mirror, the storm has forced ITV bosses to move the celebrities ‘from the main camp to take shelter in the Bush Telegraph as thunder, lightening and torrential rain poured into the jungle’.
In fact, a source on the show claims it is the worst storm the celebs of the jungle have ever seen: ‘We are used to storms here but I have never seen anything like this’.
However, don’t get too smug about your personal duvet access and tea making facilities that do not involve animal testicles- as us at home are set to feel a lil’ of the rain too…
*Really scary thunder noise*
Okay, not entirely. But we might not have ‘I’m A Celeb’ to look forward to this evening as the camera equipment has been damaged: ‘The bad weather also meant cameras and lighting used on the show have lost power in the last few hours. It means bosses will have a race against time to edit the show together for tonight’.
Palace officials have released pictures of 6-month-old Princess Charlotte, and she is ridiculously cute!
Hey, you- get ready to start singing Natasha Bedingfield’s ‘Wanna Have Your Babies‘, because the biggest dose of broodiness is about to smack you square in the face.
Okay, you’ll never be able to prepare yourself for this one so here goes nothing…IT’S THE FIRST PALACE RELEASED PHOTOS OF 6-MONTH-OLD PRINCESS CHARLOTTE! *explodes into confetti*
The official Kensington Palace tweeted the insanely adorable snaps at 12pm today with the caption ‘Here’s a new photo of 6-month-old Princess Charlotte, taken by her mother, The Duchess of Cambridge, in early Nov’. The tweet was then followed with a couple of other (equally adorable) snaps.
The Duke and Duchess hope everyone enjoys these new photos of Princess Charlotte as much as they do. pic.twitter.com/ylZ7VvOuIY
Inevitably, Twitter has gone into an apocalyptic melt-down of totes adorbsness with users replying messages such as ‘what a beautiful family Thank you for sharing’ and ‘Awww she’s absolutely beautiful,she’s defiantly her Daddy’s double x’.
This is the second time the palace have released photos of the gorgeous tot, having last shared pictures from her christening in July.
And this isn’t enough cuteness for you (*ahem* greedy), then you’ll be pleased to learn that there’s more: Princess Charlotte‘s elder brother, 2-year-old Prince George, is apparently non-stop nattering about the festive season.
It's not all about the celery for Khloe Kardashian!
Wow! Look at those buns of steel!
If we could gather all the ‘how’s’ in the world and put them in a little pot of ‘how’s’, we probably still wouldn’t have enough to express just how much we really want (neigh, NEED) to know just HOW Khloe Kardashian gets that incredible bod!
Well people, it’s time to put the ‘How’s’ down (go on, don’t be afraid) because we possess of the holy secret to excellent abs. And are we going to share this golden nugget of information? YOU BETCHA TONED BOOTY WE ARE!
Okay people, it’s time for the tears. Oh yes, jam The Notebook into your TV and replay the hell out of that bad boy- it’s all about the sadness with this one
Speaking on her app, the 31-year-old explains ‘I work out so much better when I am sad or upset. I have so much energy when I am angry’. GRRRRRR damn you grumpy summer bod…
Khloe then added, ‘Everyone is allowed to have their day, everyone is allowed to feel bad, but you got to get over it. So, either go to the gym, watch a funny movie, watch some good light-hearted TV, or call one of your girlfriends that always make you laugh’. Guess we’ll be picking the gym, eh Khlo?!
It would seem Khloe has been in pretty fine spirits lately, as she recently revealed that her (irritatingly toned) rear end hasn’t actually set foot in a gym for a whole two months!
However, this isn’t necessarily down to Khloe being a happy chappy- instead it is due to a ‘slew of reasons’. An Instagram caption of the star reads ‘ ‘I NEED the gym in my life!!! Lol My mind and body don’t respond well without the gym!! Not feeling cute right now but still cuter than most’. That’s right Khloe, still ridiculously cute. Lucky sod.
Peter Andre has left the Strictly Come Dancing competition.... *sobs*
If, unlike us, you have finally managed to cease your major river of tears after finding out our favourite ballroom boogier Peter Andre has been booted off the Strictly dance floor then get ready- you’re about to start bawling again!
Peter is the ninth celebrity to depart from the Strictly Come Dancing competition, after falling short to his dance off competition, Kellie Bright. Boo.
So, having found ourselves in a very melancholy mood on account of no more Peter Andre Waltz’s, we have collected all the very best moments from his time on Strictly. *Sadly salsas away*
1. It’s a ten!
Pete and dancing partner Janette not only aced their Charleston to Basement Jaxx’s ‘Do Your Thing’, but they were also awarded two ten’s- the first two of the competition! Praise, indeed!
2. ‘Butt kicking’ exercises…
Pete shared this snap of himself and Janette, revealing how she has kept him on his dancing toes. The 42-year-old captioned the snap ‘Janette kicking my butt hard in rehearsals’. We wonder if Pete is going to miss this particular Strictly practice…
3. Gettin’ spooky
Halloween saw Pete getting right into the his sixth spooky sense, dressing in a very ghostly attire to dance an enchanting Fox Trot. Oh Pete, you scary devil you.
4. THAT high five…
Rejected. For a high five. In front of millions… style it out, Pete, style it out. At least Mr Andre took it in good humour, tweeting ‘proper left me hangin’. What a mare!
5. Blue Peter…
Clearly a fan of a good pun, the week Pete’s costume was a very fetching shade of blue was the week he simply couldn’t resist pulling a ‘Blue Peter’ joke. We see what you did there, Pete, and we’re quite impressed…
Oh Pete, we do hope you keep dancing…. Alice Perry
4th Impact on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain' TV Programme, London 19 October 2015
We were concerned to hear that 4th Impact‘s Celina experienced a shocking collapse on The X Factor stage after the band was eliminated from the competition. However, the band has responded to the news, reassuring their fans that Celina is ‘ok now’.
Sinitta broke the worrying news on Twitter last night following the Sunday night show, explaining that Celina had collapsed and paramedics had come to her aid.
She also posted a video on Periscope captioned ‘Ambulance’ in which what appears to be a yellow ambulance can be seen in the background. People in the background can be heard asking ‘Is it one of the girls?’ as they watch the emergency services.
A witness also told The Sun that Celina was ‘out cold for about ten minutes,’ while judge and 4th Impact mentor Cheryl Fernandez-Versini told the publication of Celina’s condition: ‘She’s OK. She’s being taken care of backstage.’
The band later posted on their joint Twitter account, assuring concerned fans that Celina is feeling better.
Thanks to all who voted for us why we reach this far.Celina is ok now thanks for your prayers and love❤️ – love u guys.Lets keep believing
Thousands of fans have already responded to the message, with many posted messages of reassurance to the band after their departure from the competition.
@4thImpactMusic you guys are going far! Look at one direction… They didn't win and look where they are now! You've it this girls
The Filipino girl group, made up of sisters Almira, Mylene, Irene and Celina, wowed from the outset when they first auditioned under the name ‘4th Power’. Changing their name to ‘4th Impact’ for copyright reasons when they reached the Judges’ houses, the group’s perfect harmonies have won them an international following on the show.
However, they were voted off after what Simon Cowell dubbed one of the ‘best sing-offs’ in the history of the show. After the judges’ vote went to deadlock, it was the public vote that confirmed the girls would be leaving.
After their previous success in the competition, we have every hope that this group will go far. Get better soon, Celina – we can’t wait to see you all sing together again!
Who knew Ferne McCann and George Shelley were a comic duo?

Ferne McCann and George Shelley create an imaginary radio show
'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' TV Programme, Australia - 29 Nov 2015
I’m A Celebrity’s Ferne McCann may not react well in Bushtucker Trial scenarios, but she showed viewers last night that she’s a pro at coming up with impromptu jungle raps when boredom strikes.
Singing her newly-created ‘In The Jungle’ rap alongside Union J’s George Shelley, the TOWIE star made hilarious observations about the previous events in the camp. Poking fun at the recent bust-up between Lady C and entrepreneur Duncan Bannatyne, Ferne rapped: ‘Duncan Banatyne, you’re a p***y!’ Meanwhile, George beatboxed skilfully.
What do you think – should Ferne be on the next X Factor? Or how about a guest performance with Union J? Then again, the talented duo showcased further skills, going on to launch a fantasy radio station.
‘Hi guys we have a packed show for you today as we have Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet here,’ said George. ‘The boredom is sending us all a bit crazy, especially today, we’re doc rally,’ said Tony, laughing at George and Ferne’s double act.
Choreographer Brian Friedman – who was later voted out of the competition – was also invited on the imaginary show, before being ‘cut-off’ after he failed to recall the words to Spandau Ballet’s ‘True’ during a ‘Guess the lyrics’ competition. ‘I’d rather be a phone in guest and they ask me about my day. I got hung up on because I didn’t know the words to True,’ he said grumpily to the camera.
Ferne finished the show saying: ‘Tune in tomorrow, we are live on air until….well…whenever we want to be.’ We can’t wait for the next brilliant instalment, guys! Maybe Ferne could guest-star as a rap act?
