Well get ready because this girl is about to become the IT new thing and it’s not just because of her incredibly famous dad or mates, Sofia Richie is about to be a household name in her own right.
She’s recently been signed as the face of PrettyLittleThing’s next campaign! Hats off to Sofia! The e-retailer is incredibly popular amongst Sofia and her Hollywood honeys like Kylie Jenner, Hailey Baldwin and our Essex English Rose Lucy Mecklenburgh was also the face of the brand.
Her sister Nicole Richie, yeah, THATNicole Richie, has taught her a lot about dressing and style. Her sister taught her to always ‘be you and dress for you’ – We couldn’t agree more!
She has the best dad going – apart from our own, obvs! Yes, Mr Lionel Richie is her dad! Goals right? If you have no idea, ask your mum and dad who he is but I’m pretty sure you’ve danced to one of his many hit singles.
Her ex-boyfriend is Justin Bieber – SQUEAL. We’re pretty jealous of this! The pair dated for around a month before calling it quits.
Rihanna inspires her – so she’s pretty much like us, right? Sofia admires the way Rihanna ‘marches to the beat of her own drum’. We’re a fan of the Queen of Sass for this reason too!
She walked in the Yeezy show for Mr Kayne West and calls it her ‘pinch me moment’ and thinks he is creative. Can’t argue that!
Following in the footsteps of her BFF Kylie Jenner, Sofia has her own Complex cover coming out soon, which we cannot wait to see! So what’s the cover like? Sofia said it will get ‘a lot of people talking and asking how did I pull that off’ and if she was ‘scared’ – eee!
Her favourite Christmas party outfit are her sweats so she can relax! She really is just like us!
One day, Sofia would love to have her own fashion range and we’d be the first to sign up! We love Sofia’s style and we can’t be the only ones.
Will Young and Karen Clifton on Strictly Come Dancing, 8 October 2016
The shock departure of Will Young surprised the nation, who were left with no further information other than ‘personal reasons’.
Days later, more information is finally coming out about the situation, and it’s been reported that not only has professional partner Karen Clifton been left ‘livid’, Will’s choice to leave has cost him £20,000.
The Leave Right Now hitmaker was due to be paid £25,000 for competing in the BBC ratings juggernaut. However on Tuesday (11th October) he left the dance contest, despite a fair performance so far – and as a result, he’ll only receive £5,000.
According to sources, speaking to The Sun on Thursday (13th October), Will left due to realising that he couldn’t win the show:
‘It became obvious that despite his huge dance background he was never going to be a contender because there are so many better celebs.
‘The few previous contestants to go have quit because they’re injured or a family member has died – not because they feel they can’t win.’
Will has left the show due to personal reasons
Will, 37, also had an argument with retiring head judge Len Goodman on a recent show, in which they disagreed on the components of his Bollywood dance performance.
Len eventually told him to ‘show up, keep up and shut up’ – sparking yet another awkward moment for the series.
Meanwhile, his former partner Karen is said to be incredibly disappointed, after previously being excited at her pairing with a potential winner – Will was the bookies’ favourite to win previously. Yet, there may have been indication at his intentions of quitting, as it has also been reported that he refused to train with her the day before.
Yikes. Will’s certainly ruffled some feathers – we probably won’t be seeing him anywhere near the BBC studios any time in the near future…
Anastacia on ITV's Loose Women, London 22 March 2016
Anastacia might have experienced some drama in her first Strictly Come Dancing dance-off but it’s nothing compared to what she’s previously been through.
The singer – who caused controversy when she couldn’t perform again due to injury, meaning the result was based on the public vote and she was allowed to stay in the competition – has faced a heartbreaking succession of events over the years, from relationship troubles to gruelling health battles.
Here is the sad story of what Anastacia, 48, has been through…
Her father leaving
Anastacia was just three when her dad Robert Newkirk left her mother, leaving her alone to raise the singer and her siblings Shawn and Brian. The sad experience led Anastacia to write powerful tune Left Outside Alone, and she admits that she had little contact with Robert before he passed away.
’He was a manic depressive,’ the singer told The Scotsman in 2008. ‘The last time I contacted him I was in my early teens. I had all these unanswered questions in my heart.
‘In a way, once I got cancer and you wonder about whether you are going to be living or not living, I wrote that song.
‘I had a hard time singing it on tour knowing that the questions were never going to be answered, but in a way, when he passed, although I felt saddened, I felt enlightened. I could love him again. I can talk about him.’
Crohn’s disease
As well as the sadness of her dad leaving, Anastacia experienced further difficulties when growing up. The star began suffering from Crohn’s disease as a teenager, which left her bloated and on drugs to treat it.
She even had her small intestine taken out at 13, something that left her wheelchair-bound.
‘They had cut right through my stomach muscles and I was in a wheelchair for a while because I had no core muscles to support my weight,’ she revealed to The Mail On Sunday in 2009. ‘I was very angry about that scar for a very long time.
‘I thought my life was over. No guy would ever look at me and see me as pretty, or want to touch me or love me.’
Eventually the American star learned to love her scar and happily started wearing midriff-bearing tops in her 20s.
Divorce
In 2007 Anastacia married her bodyguard Wayne Newton but sadly their wedded bliss didn’t last long as they divorced in 2010. Like the trauma of her dad leaving, this experience led the singer to write a song about her heartache.
Speaking about the tune Pendulum in 2014, she explained: ‘It’s totally about the loss of my marriage, but it’s a beautiful song. I think I lost a bit of myself for a while. My career got so busy I’d be thinking: “Who the hell I am?”
‘I used to believe in happy-ever-afters. Now, I have a bit more of a realistic approach… If I still believed in happy-ever-after the way I used to, I wouldn’t have been able to write this album.’
Heart problems
Further health problems hit Anastacia in 2008 when she learned she had supraventricular tachycardia, a heart condition which causes varied and rapid heartbeats. Rather than treat this with an operation, the star has chosen to use medication.
‘The doctors say it’s a weakness triggered by stress,’ she told Hello! in 2008. ‘I’ll be sitting chatting and suddenly my heart will beat like I’m running a marathon. I’ve fainted backstage because I can’t get rid of the palpitations.
‘They can fix it by putting two electrodes into my heart and shocking it, but I don’t want more surgery right now, so I’m on medication. The side effect is fatigue.’
Breast cancer
Anastacia faced a battle with breast cancer when she was still in her early 30s. The disease was discovered in 2003 when she had gone into hospital to have a breast reduction and she then had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy to successfully treat it.
Sadly the singer faced a second battle with breast cancer when she was diagnosed again in 2013. This time she elected to have a double mastectomy and admits this was incredibly tough both physically and mentally.
‘That was a difficult time, not least because it felt like I was losing part of my femininity,’ she tells the Daily Mail. ‘But hardships are what shape a person and I was determined to remain as strong as I could.
‘The operation involved taking a muscle from my back to use as part of the breast reconstruction. It took a year to recover and even now there are certain moves I can’t make when I’m dancing on Strictly because of the impact it has on my back – as anyone who’s watched me will know!’
Anastacia announced when she joined the Strictly line-up that she’d be donating her fee to Cancer Research UK and aims to raise as much money as possible for the cause.
Throughout all of this heartbreak, the singer has understandably been praised for her strength and courage. Yet she admitted to the Metro in 2014 that she struggles just like anyone else would.
‘I’m just as fragile and broken as anyone else at times,’ she said. ‘We all have to get through our stuff as best we can.
‘Some of us have strong armour, some of us don’t. Sometimes my armour has been very strong and sometimes it’s been very fragile.’
Does size matter? Michelle Keegan thinks ‘bigger isn’t always better’. We wonder what Mark Wright thinks about that statement…
He’s a very proud husband and we’re sure Mark Wright loves Michelle Keegan’s new Revlon adverts – but a Twitter user has managed to turn a clip of it into a joke about the Essex boy’s manhood!
It was announced earlier this year that Michelle, 29, was the latest face of cosmetics giant Revlon, which involves her backing their latest range of mascaras. In the ad, former Coronation Street actress Michelle talks about her favourite from the line: the Ultimate All-In-One.
She says: ‘The wand is perfectly compact. It’s small but it’s mighty, and it coats every single lash. See: big is not always better.’ Michelle ended the scene with a very telling look at the camera…
Sharing the potentially embarrassing moment on Twitter, one user wrote: ‘Bet Mark Wright is buzzin over this advert!’ A series of laughing and cringing emojis followed the post – and the tweeter urged Mark to watch the clip with the sound on!
Mark, also 29, recently faced backlash over his own advert, when he starred in yoghurt brand Oykos’ latest campaign. Commenting on the clip – which shows Mark eating the yoghurt topless – one Twitter user blasted: ‘This advert with Mark Wright makes me want to die.’ Another slammed: ‘Mark Wright’s yoghurt advert is cringe central.’
But of course not everyone has been negative about Mark getting his kit off. One appreciative fan gushed: ‘Geez… I wonder if the yoghurt tastes as good as Mark looks.’
One look at Mark Wright semi-naked tells us Michelle isn’t ever disappointed with her husband…

Katie Salmon
Prodigal Fox Celebrity Collections Launch Party, London, UK - 18 Aug 2016
Katie Salmon has opened up about her terrifying date rape drug experience while out in a nightclub.
The Love Island star says she woke up covered in blood in the middle of the street after he drink was spiked when she was drinking with a ‘fan’.
The ordeal has left the reality star so scared that she now refuses to go out clubbing with her friends again.
Speaking to The Sun, the star said: ‘I’d been out for a curry with some friends and afterwards we went to a nightclub in West London.
‘I met this guy in there who said he was a big fan of the show and was asking me for selfies, so I was letting him and was chatting away as that’s what I’m like.
‘He was sat on the table next to us and poured me a drink, I don’t remember much after that but my friends told me that he spent the rest of the night following me around.
‘The last thing I remember was being in the toilet and feeling really weird my head was spinning.’
Katie says that she left the club at 2:30am with the man, though she has no memory of leaving. The 20-year-old was covered in bruises and woke up ‘crying hysterically’ and with her bag missing. After getting the police involved, it turns out that the guy tried to check her into a hotel.
It was fully booked, however, so it’s believed he left her in the street.
Katie Salmon adds: ‘I know I wasn’t raped but I kept imagining if I had been. I’m still scared now, I haven’t been out much, I’ve been for meals and with people I can trust, but I can’t go to clubs now.’
Holly Willoughby giggles in clown craze interview on This Morning, 13 October 2016
Holly Willoughby is no stranger to getting the giggles on This Morning but some viewers thought her latest outburst was a bit inappropriate.
The presenter couldn’t help laughing when she and Phillip Schofield interviewed Garry Bedford on Thursday’s show, a man who dresses up as Batman in a bid to stop the ‘killer clown’ fad that’s sweeping the country.
It’s seen pranksters disguise themselves as clowns to scare members of the public and has resulted in many children feeling scared and even some people getting injured.
Garry is attempting to ease fears, especially for kids, by having a ‘clown hotline’ where he can be reached to get rid of the culprits in his Batman guise but his outfit proved too funny for Holly, 35, during their chat over video link.
As Phillip began asking a question, Holly interrupted with her chuckling and said: ’I’m sorry, it just makes me giggle! It’s only because you’re dressed as Batman!’
Phillip giggled a bit as well but stressed: ‘This is a really serious subject!’
The pair were joined by a clown – fortunately a friendly one – in the studio and Phillip blamed their laughter on him too.
Fortunately they managed to regain their composure and Phillip, 54, added: ‘We don’t usually do this in serious items.’
Holly still looked close to giggles though and viewers were split on social media over her reaction to the topic.
Some deemed her laughter inappropriate, with one Twitter user writing: ‘don’t think it was appropriate that holly was laughing at what a good thing that man was doing for scared children. Grow up’
@thismorning don't think it was appropriate that holly was laughing at what a good thing that man was doing for scared children. Grow up
‘why is Holly laughing when this gentleman is trying to ease the lives of children who find the Killer Clown craze frightening!’ one viewer added.
Meanwhile another posted: ‘Waiting 4 the day Holly gets inappropriate timed giggles during serious topic on @thismorning . I find it so annoying. It’s not celeb juice!’
Some fans took the opposite view though and could see why the presenter couldn’t control her chuckling.
‘#thismorning is surreal today. How are holly and phill keeping it together ?’ an observer on Twitter said, whilst another wrote: ‘It makes my day when Holly and Phillip lose their sh*t on @thismorning’
Do you think Holly’s reaction was funny or a fail? Let us know…
Priscilla Presley has hardly aged over the past forty years but her face has TOTALLY changed!
Priscilla Presley of Naked Gun movie fame and, of course, former wife of The King, Elvis Presley has certainly changed A LOT over the 50 years she has been in the spotlight.
In fact, when she most recently appeared on ITV’s Lorraine viewers hardly recognised her!
Why do celebs continue to have so much plastic surgery? Don't they realise how un-natural they look? Priscilla Presley's face doesn't move!
And we have to agree she looked like a TOTALLY different person from the woman we knew from the 80s.
So what exactly has she had done over the years?
We caught up with Naomi Nissen, Co Founder of The Mint Clinic and Aesthetics Nurse for the lowdown:
‘Comparing Priscilla Presley in 1988 to now on Lorraine, it’s clear that Priscilla has had Botox in her forehead to create a smoother, firmer and tighter forehead, as well as lip fillers to increase the volume and shape of her lips.
‘There’s an uneven edge between her top and bottom lip which is a clear indicator of lip fillers. Priscilla may also have had dermal filler injected into her crows feet to plump the skin around that area to create a more youthful appearance as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines at the corners of the eyes.‘
In 2008 it was reported that Priscilla was a victim of botched surgery at the hands or Argentinean bogus plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Serrano, who was investigated after his patients complained the injections caused lumps, paralysis and craters in the face.
Her spokesperson added: ‘Priscilla Presley was one of many documented victims of Dr. Serrano.
‘An investigation which uncovered his misconduct ultimately lead to his imprisonment. Ms. Presley dealt with this matter years ago and everything is now well.’
He was arrested in 2004 and charged in relation to the illegal injections.
Serrano was later sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy, smuggling and use of unapproved drugs in 2006.

Jaden Smith, Will Smith
Warners Bros. Pictures Presents 'Suicide Squad' World Premiere, The Beacon Theatre, New York, USA - 01 Aug 2016
In the long list of sentences you thought you’d never hear in 2016: Jaden Smith used to be a vampire.
That can join the other, ridiculous sentences this year like ‘David Bowie is dead,’ or ‘Donald Trump could become the President of the United States’.
Will Smith and Jada Plinkett Smith’s son has revealed that, at one point in his life, he couldn’t go out into the sunlight because he was a literal vampire. Coincidentally, it happened at the same time as his teen Goth phase.
Speaking to French fashion magazine Numéro, the 18-year-old said: ‘During a period of my life, I was Gothic. I was only wearing black and I was hiding from the sun because I was a vampire.
‘I was a vampire, for real. I could not expose myself to the sun and I was only wearing black trench coats.

‘Now I’m not a vampire, I’m out of this phase. I open myself up to wear brighter things, to go out in daylight. I share much more mixed energy.’
He was a vampire. A vampire. For real.
Despite having dabbled in the dark acts of Dracula himself, Jaden now wants to use his powers for good. In fact, he wants to do so much good that he ‘leaves a mark’ on the world.
Shamed The X Factor duo Brooks Way seem to have announced their comeback on Twitter already!
The twins took to Twitter to suggest they would be back on the stage less than a week since reports that Josh left his ex-girlfriend ‘black and blue’.
While both brothers strongly deny the reports in The Sun on Sunday, it seems they aren’t letting ANY negative press get in the way of their music career.

In a now-deleted tweet obtained by the Daily Star Online, Brooks Way shared to their 111,000 followers: ‘How about a headline show in London next month?’
Though it was deleted pretty quickly, fans have been begging them to come out, despite the domestic abuse allegations.
They’ve already been replaced on the ITV show by girl band Four of Diamonds, who are joining the live shows on Saturday.
Louis Walsh said of the girls: ‘I was really impressed with the girls at Judges’ Houses but only had three spots to fill for the Live Shows.
‘At the time a lot of viewers were disappointed that I didn’t put the girls through, now that a place has opened in my category, I’ve listened to the fans and am delighted to be bringing the girls back.
Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are the perfect couple that we wish we shipped sooner! Despite going out for less than a year, people are already routing for Joe to pop the question.
And the former EastEnders actor actually DID on Celebrity Juice…
For some points.
Joe Swash decided to take their relationship to the extreme when he popped the question in front of a live studio audience.
When asked by host Keith Lemon what he got Stacey for his 27th birthday in scenes set to air on Thursday, Joe said: ‘I got her three pairs of trainers, some perfume and a nice ring…’
He insisted it was not a wedding ring, just your standard ring. But Keith, and the audience, weren’t having any of it.
Keith kept nudging: ‘I think he wants to get you a ring!’
Joe answered: ‘I didn’t say that! I’m not against it, I’m just saying.’
The Celebrity Juice host kept insisting, despite Joe saying it would be ‘all in good time’, Keith finally produced a ring box with an ‘engagement ring’ in it, and promised: ‘I’ll give you this and if you propose to Stacey on the show, I’ll give you a point for your team.’
But Joe Swash, never one to back down from a challenge, actually got down on one knee as the audience chanted ‘Do it! Do it!’

'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' TV Programme, Australia - Nov 2012
I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! is back which can mean only one thing the time has come for a brand new cast of celebrities to head down under and battle it out in TV's toughest challenge.
The stupid clown craze has infected the entire world. It’s scaring women in their cars, men walking down the street and kids in their school. But now those clowns have gone too far: they’re threatening I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.
The location of the crown jewel of reality TV has been terrorised by the masked weirdos. The beach town in Queensland, where the evicted contestants chill out before being sent back home, has faced reports of clowns attacking.
This means we could see our reality stars – with Gogglebox‘s Scarlett Moffattand TOWIE‘s Kate Wright on the glamorous rumoured line up – could be spooked out of coming altogether!
One, two the clown is coming for you… for some reason
With only a few weeks until the celebrities are set to descend on Australia, it seems ITV are on a time limit to clean those clowns out.
Because how are the celebrities supposed to calm down after facing everything from spiders to kangeroo’s bollocks, when there are masked, idiot teenagers spooking them at every turn.
Considering this year’s line up is the biggest one yet (if the rumours are true), it’s not one to miss. Joining the reality star stables in the I’m a Celebrity jungle could be Adya Field, wife to Robbie Williams, shamed ex England boss Sam Allardyce and national treasure Carol Vorderman.
THEN they were seen looking cosy and sharing a kiss at Leigh-Anne Pinnock’s birthday party last weekend and our Lerrie (the alternative couple name is Puke and we’re really not feeling that) hopes were restored.
Perrie, 23, admits it’s only just begun but says things are going well with the 26-year-old former Skins star.
‘We’ve been on a few fun dates, which is nice,’ the blonde singer explains.
‘It’s very early days. It’s early days but yeah, he’s really lovely.’
Awww, sounds promising! It comes as Perrie hits out at former fiancé Zayn Malik – now boyfriend of Gigi Hadid – in Little Mix’s new tune Shoutout To My Ex, in which she disses his bedroom skills with the lyrics: ‘Hope she gettin’ better sex, Hope she ain’t fakin’ it like I did, babe.
‘Guess I should say thank you, For the ‘hate yous’ and the tattoos, Oh baby I’m cool by the way, Ain’t sure I loved you anyway.’
Ouch. Luckily Luke finds it all pretty funny, apparently, and has already had a preview of the tune ahead of its release on Sunday.
‘He thought it was good,’ Perrie says of his verdict. Well that’s a relief!
Luke has got the approval of Perrie’s bandmates too, with Jesy Nelson telling The Sun: ‘He’s a lovely boy, nice boy.’
Meanwhile Luke is maintaining his silence about the blossoming romance but has been inundated with comments from fans on Instagram asking him about Ms Edwards.
Some have asked him to take a selfie with the singer, whilst others have simply issued the warning: ‘take care of her’
The singer, 37, could be in hot water after pictures emerged which appear to show him lighting a cigarette in his car whilst parked at a petrol station this week, something that is ‘strictly prohibited’.
Will was apparently seen putting a cig in his mouth in the driver’s seat of his vehicle and then lit it, despite there being warning signs about doing this in the forecourt.
He then drove away whilst smoking. Will hasn’t commented on the photos as of yet.
A spokesperson for Shell has told The Sun Online: ‘Smoking is strictly prohibited on Shell forecourts.’
The photos have caused shock amongst some fans, with one commenting: ‘well that is very stupid’
Others are continuing to express their concern for Will as speculation mounts about why he quit Strictly after just three dances.
‘Hope you’re ok. Big hugs and stay strong through the storm. X,’ one admirer posted on his Instagram page, whilst another said: ‘Take good care of yourself Will. Keep smiling’
Will caused a stir when he announced on Tuesday night that he was pulling out of Strictly but kept the details vague in his statement.
‘Unfortunately, I am leaving the show for personal reasons,’ the former Pop Idol star said. ‘I leave with joy in my heart that I have been able to take part in one of the most loved shows on British television.’
There have since been various rumours about what exactly triggered his decision, from suggestions he’s been suffering from anxiety to talk of a feud with Len Goodman.
The latter has been ruled out though, even though Len told Will to ‘show up, keep up and shut up’ on last weekend’s show, as they apparently joked about it backstage afterwards.
It's not October 3rd, but we're excited nonetheless
Whether or not you’ve seen the film, Mean Girls is such a cemented part of the fabric of the internet and Noughties culture, that most people reading will know no less than two references from the movie. Take this Halloween themed gem…
Positively inspiring. Many regard Mean Girls as modern cult classic and since its release back in 2004, fans have been willing the gods of Hollywood to make a sequel.
And it looks as if the more ‘fetch’ members of the public aren’t the only ones – as Lindsay Lohan has made a pretty big reference to a second film!
In a post on her Instagram page on Thursday (13th October), Lindsay – who played the film’s protagonist, Cady Heron, brought it back to the glory days of the 2000s, with a picture of her Mean Girls co-stars Lacey Chabert (Gretchen Wieners) and Rachel McAdams (Regina George):
A photo posted by Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) on
And as if this piece of nostalgia wasn’t satisfying enough, Li-Lo’s caption has sent fans worldwide into a spin:
‘Miss you all… sequel?’
WOAH. It’s enough for eager fans to will the making of a sequel – but when key members of the cast are saying yes, surely we’re getting closer to the Part 2 that we’ve been dreaming of?
Unsurprisingly, folks have flooded Lindsay’s comments section with approval and hope such as ‘OH GOD YESSSS’, ‘QUEENS COME BACK!’ and of course, many reposted a qu0te from the film:
‘Everyone forgets about Karen because she’s such a sl*t’, referring to the absence of Amanda Seyfried, who played the ditziest member of the Plastics crew, Karen Smith.
Seemingly touched by Lindsay’s gesture, Rachel McAdams reposted the picture hours later, which some read as her agreeing with the sequel idea…two main characters down, two to go!
Should Mean Girls get a sequel? Or should a good thing be left to lie? Let us know @CelebsNow!
Sarah Harding has been going through a rough time of late and it’s left friends fearing for her wellbeing.
The singer is said to be heading for a ‘breakdown’, according to reports, following savage criticism of her performance in Ghost: The Musical and a struggle with painkillers.
Sarah, 34, caused concern with she was replaced by the understudy mid-show in Blackpool on Monday night as she reportedly ‘slurred and fluffed her lines’ as well as messing up the famous clay moulding scene.
According to show sources, the slurring and mistakes can be blamed on her taking strong medication for a knee injury – any alcohol relation has been denied.
But this incident, coupled with claims she parted ways with her manager just hours before the performance, have got her loved ones worried about her health.
‘Sarah’s on the brink – producers know it, everyone knows it,’ a source close to the former Girls Aloud star says.
‘Ever since she took on the role in September her performances have been slammed and she’s not taking the criticism well.’
It’s thought that Sarah – who previously had a stint in rehab for alcohol issues and sleeping pill addiction – doesn’t want to take time out despite her friends’ concern and returned to the stage on Tuesday.
‘Everyone’s telling her she needs to take a break and get her head together,’ the insider tells The Sun. ‘But she won’t do it.’
There have been reports of other troubles affecting Sarah’s performance, including claims her estranged father was in the audience which triggered her meltdown in Monday night’s show.
It’s also alleged that she’s worried about a cousin who is suffering from a brain tumour.
As the rumours about her wellbeing circulate, Sarah has recently been harking back to her heyday on Twitter by reaching out to her Girls Aloud bandmates.
The blonde star posted two Throwback Thursday posts about the group two weeks ago and hinted that she’d love to see the other ladies again.
Sarah shared a photo of the band performing at 2009 Brit Awards and wrote: ‘Bit late but….#TBT #BritAwards #Best SingleWin #LivePerformance #GA #GoodTimes Miss ya girlies’
She also revealed in an interview in August that she hoped Girls Aloud might have another reunion in ‘the next couple of years’, despite the group calling it quits in 2013 following a 10th anniversary tour.
The status of Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks‘ relationship is pretty unknown as of right now, with conflicting quotes and reports painting them as ‘working things out’ and ‘split apart’ in equal measure.
At the very least, it seems as if things are currently rocky between the TOWIE stars, and Pete has taken to social media to express some feelings of persistence, and not giving up on their love.
Though usually in the headlines for cute reasons, Pete and Megan’s relationship has come under close scrutiny in the past few weeks, as it emerged that Pete had been sending saucy messages to a woman that wasn’t Megan. It’s since been claimed that Pete was naughtily messaging TEN other women, and Megan has let rip at him on-screen as well as deleting every trace of him from social media. Oh dear.
And it’s clearly taken a toll on Pete too, as he posted a quote to his Instagram profile on Thursday (13th October), hot on the heels of viewers seeing the heartbreak of the situation play on TOWIE the night before.
‘It doesn’t matter how this looks to other people. If this is something you gotta do, then you do it! Fighters fight.’
Though pretty vague, it’s easy to imagine that this is linked to his trying to win Megan’s heart back – and his followers have been pretty split in their feelings on whether he deserves a second chance.
Some fans of the 27-year-old have chimed in with encouraging messages, telling him to ‘fight for her, man!’ and reminding him that ‘we all make mistakes’.
‘The best way you could show sorrow and remorse is by showing people you are serious about wanting to change,’ advised one.
Others, however, were not as supportive, and clearly believe that Pegan should be over for good. Take this message from one impassioned user: ‘Go f*ck yourself! You made your bed now you can ly in it! Megan deserves so much better so let her go!’
Yikes!
Should Megan and Pete give their relationship another chance? Let us know your thoughts @CelebsNow!
Is Mark Wright moonlighting on the BBC to start a business with Lord Sugar?
This year’s The Apprentice is already turning out to be one of the most cringe-worthy series to date.
We’re only two weeks into the show and already we’ve had Jessica’s meltdown on camera and Karthik acting like Jekyll and Hyde. On Thursday night Lord Sugar nearly lost it too, blasting the candidates as ‘demented dimwits’ after both teams did appalling advertising campaigns for a Japanese jean brand.
In fact, Lord Sugar was so embarrassed by the team’s performances he refused to name either of them a winner. It was pretty AWKS!
But while we were watching on as flabbergasted as Karren Brady, some viewers were left utterly perplexed by one candidate in particular…37-year-old JD O’Brian.
The beachwear owner is actually former TOWIE star Mark Wright in a fat suit!!!!!!
Well, not really, but that’s was the Internet thinks anyway. And we’re not going to lie, we think these Twitter-folk might be onto something…
Things were a little touch-and-go for JD in the second week of the show as he found himself back in the boardroom as Lord Sugar was tearing them all apart for the abysmal task.
Thankfully he survived the chop, as [SPOILER ALERT] Scottish lass Natalie Hughes got fired after doing sweet F-A, in both tasks.
‘I was quite quiet and out of my comfort zone, and wasn’t motivated to fulfil my full potential,’ Natalie said after the show. She also said that she had ‘no regrets’ about starring on the show.
On whether she believes Lord Sugar made the right decision in firing her, she added: ‘I think he did [make the right decision], someone needed to go and it was my time. Someone else deserved the investment more than I did.’
So will Mark, sorry we mean JD, make it through? We’ll have to wait and see…
According to reports the pair have been bickering backstage ever since the controversy over THAT dance-off in week two, which saw Melvin Odoom sent home as Anastacia was unable to perform due to injury and the result had to be based on the public vote alone.
It’s apparently caused tension between Anastacia, 48, and Brendan, 40, which has boiled over in the past couple of weeks.
‘Brendan is not the most patient of dancers and they’ve had to tweak all their dance moves because of her injuries,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘They can’t even do any lifts or sudden turns.
‘His previous partners like Natasha Kaplinsky and Kirsty Gallacher have dealt with his outbursts, but Anastacia doesn’t take any crap and fights back.
‘But both are determined to make their relationship work on the dance floor and move up that table.’
There’s been no comment as of yet from reps for the pair but they’ve already been hitting back at rumours of a spat BEFORE these latest claims emerged.
Following last weekend’s show Brendan gave a defiant response to a Twitter user who suggested that he and Anastacia looked a little tense with each other.
‘Next week I’ll be sure to touch her all the time & stroke her face etc just so you know we get along. #fool & #wrong! #awesomepairing,’ the dancer posted.
Meanwhile Anastacia spoke about their bond in a message to her social media fans.
‘I spite of all my whinging,,,my partner rocks and we have fun even of I’m a rubbish dancer,’ she Tweeted on Wednesday.

Brendan also popped up in one of the American singer’s Periscope videos during rehearsals on Thursday and the pair seemed to be getting on a treat as they happily showed viewers one of their Rumba moves.
It comes after Brendan praised his partner’s strength in an interview last week following her injury, which saw her tear scar tissue from her double mastectomy.
‘It’s the Viennese Waltz this week, so we are being careful,’ he explained to The Telegraph before last weekend’s show. ‘She’s a trooper though and will be absolutely fine.’
From a summer of watching him on Celebrity Big Brother, we know that Stephen Bear is a big fan of a joke.
From a summer of watching CBB and seeing him pull pranks and joke with his housemates, we also know that Bear’s humour isn’t necessarily shared by the masses. (Remember when he pushed a pie into Aubrey O’Day‘s face? NOT pretty….)
And now, Bear’s caused a massive rift with his fans, due to a post on Instagram that some are calling ‘insensitive’ and ‘horrific’…
Jumping on the very questionable trend of the moment, Ex On The Beach star Bear dressed up as a masked ‘killer clown’ – one of those who have been wreaking havoc on unsuspecting people across the UK and US.

Captioned with nothing but his signature ‘paw print’ emoji, it seems as if he wants his picture to speak for itself… and his followers are anything but impressed.
‘You’re a f**king horrible insensitive pig. Shame on you,’ reads an upset response from one, while others try to get him to consider the possibly traumatised younger people who may follow his page.
‘You should take this down or I’ll report you! This isn’t funny!’
As of yet, 25-year-old Bear has not responded to the criticism, and the photo is still visible on his page. However, we can’t imagine he’s too fussed – if there’s anyone who likes winding people up, it’s him!
TOWIE’s Megan McKenna is having a pretty crappy time right now, poor lamb.
Her and boyfriend Pete Wicks are facing a particularly rocky patch in their relationship after it emerged that he had been sexting not one, not two, but a whopping 10 GIRLS behind her back.
Not just behind her back, either. While they were on holiday together AND sometimes just after they had had sex, Megan thinks.
Pretty sh*tty, right?
But Megan, being as strong as an ox like per-norm, isn’t going let the dirty dog get her down.

Seriously Megan, if Pete isn’t eating out of the palm of your hand right now, he’s an idiot!
Things between Pete, 27, and Megan, 24 came crumbling down about two weeks ago when a former ex of Pete’s spoke to a newspaper and revealed all the saucy texts he had been sending her.
TOWIE viewers then watched as Megan was told the news by Danielle Armstrong and broke down in tears.
She then gave Pete the best slice of furious McKenna pie we’ve seen in a long while.
Sadly, while shouting at him got her anger out, it didn’t make poor Megs feel any better. After throwing the Rolex he gave her back in his face, she was then seen in various TOWIE scenes in tears talking about how ’embarrassed’ and ‘humiliated’ she felt by Pete.
Right now, the status of Pegan’s relationship is pretty unknown, with conflicting quotes and reports painting them as ‘working things out’ and ‘split apart’ in equal measure.
But guess what, Megan’s got new hair and just don’t care!
