The classic DJ had some health issues, dealt with in private
'Celebrity Big Brother' TV show, Elstree Studios, Hertfordshire, UK - 03 Jan 2017
Much of the appeal of Celebrity Big Brother lies in the fact that with 24hr surveillance, we get to see some famous folks like we’ve never seen them before.
However, whenever anything serious happens this concept tends to get relaxed in order to preserve privacy – and less than a week in, this has had to be applied for Brandon Block, as it has been claimed that he was rushed to hospital in unaired scenes, earlier this week.
Former club DJ Brandon was allegedly taken to hospital on Thursday (5th January) after complaining of chest pains.
After his initial concern, it is claimed that he was taken aside to be seen to by the backstage team. A source tells the Daily Star:
‘Brandon wasn’t well at all. It was pretty serious.
‘He immediately saw the medics that were on standby at the house.’

When the on-site medical professionals were unable to diagnose the problem, 49-year-old Brandon was allegedly then taken to hospital: ‘…There were concerns his condition could worsen and could even become critical so it was decided he needed to go to hospital.’
However, an official spokesperson for Brandon has denied the seriousness of the situation. The colleague took to Twitter to claim that the tests were routine:
‘Checked in with producers last night and It’s been a bit fabricated! The tests were routine!’
In any case, Brandon’s health seems to have recovered as he has since returned to the house. And he was not the only Housemate to have incurred a medical issue – soon after entering the house on Friday evening, Edward Grimes (one half of Jedward) took a trip to hospital after falling off of the stage.
The Through The Keyhole host lets rip on what he finds through the keyholes of the rich and famous…
Keith Lemon is busy admiring a cushion that depicts a scene from Coronation Street when we arrive at the ITV offices. Now is surprised, as we didn’t think he was one to be interested in interior design, but it appears that since taking over as host of Through The Keyhole, the failed businessman from Leeds is more aware of home décor.The bleached hairdo is gone – he sports a natural russet tone (think Mick Hucknall) these days and he’s got a ponytail. And don’t forget the checked suit, which he thinks makes him look like Toad of Toad Hall.While he may not look quite like the outrageous Keith of old, the manners are Lemon through and through – revealing what he does in ladies’ beds and putting our tape recorder somewhere he shouldn’t. In fact, he doesn’t stop for breath, especially on the subject of Danny Dyer’s genitalia, so those of a nervous disposition may want to look away now…
You’ve lost weight recently – how did you do it and why?
Have I? Worn the same waist pants – that’s American for trousers – since I was about 18. They were a bit tighter when I came back off me holiday, but I just stopped eating bread for a bit and they fit nice again. I look good, don’t I?
Very nice. Is Keith clean living these days?
I don’t even know what clean living means? I don’t smoke or take drugs. I never have. I like a drink, though!
He’s got a good bush of hair on him. I don’t follow his workouts, though. I don’t work out. Like I say, I just don’t eat bread.
Whose house on Through The Keyhole would you not want to look around?
A murderer’s. Him out of Silence Of T’Lambs who makes a lady suit out of skin. Horrible that film, innit?
Have you ever found something you shouldn’t when filming?
Obviously I’ve seen the odd dildo and such, but I’m not saying any names. Anyone who has a dildo whose house I’ve been in will know who I’m talking about now. Was a great big one too!
Would you like to do a series in the US with Hollywood types?
Well, every series we film in LA, so we always have a few Hollywood types. I’d like the show to air out there, yes, but I have no dream of living there meself. I love living in London. It’s a very cool place. I miss me Leeds massive, though. I’ve not lost me Leeds roots – I’m quite a humble fella. I just have a lavish dress sense, that’s all. I’ve got more shoes than me bird!
Has anyone ever refused to go on your shows?
Loads of people, I guess. I don’t book t’guests. I rarely know who’s on ’til I turn up at t’studio. Sometimes I find out on Twitter. In fact, my most common tweet is: ‘I don’t book the guests’!
What’s the naughtiest thing you’ve done in the new series?
I took my clothes off and got into one of the lady celebrities’ beds. But I do that in every lady’s house that I go to anyway – sometimes totally naked and sometimes I leave my underpants on.
Have you ever raided a celebrity’s knicker drawer on the show?
I’m not allowed to. I wore Mel B’s bikini once but I’m not into sniffing knickers and shit. I’m really respectful.
Mel B wouldn’t mind, right?
Nah, she wouldn’t. She’s highly sexed, isn’t she? She’d probably do it on purpose. Leave some two-week-old pants on the floor. [Impersonates Mel B’s voice] ‘Here, sniff them, you lunatic!’
Who’s your ultimate guest?
I’d like to do Simon Cowell’s house but I think he hates me. Louis Walsh was on Juice and I said: ‘Why didn’t you bring Simon? He said [adopts Irish accent]: ‘Oh, he won’t do it, he doesn’t find you funny.’ I said: ‘Don’t f**king say that, Louis, I’m just about to go on. That’s not good for me.’ Every time I’ve seen Simon, he always goes: ‘Nice to meet you.’ I say to him: ‘Simmy, I met you last time, what’s up with you?’
Has Adele been on the show?
I’d love Adele to be on. I met her at Jonathan Ross’s Halloween party
and she says: ‘Keith, have we met before?’ But she had skulls and flowers paintedover her face, so
I said: ‘I don’t know who you are.’
What about Danny Dyer?
He’s got massive bollocks, you know.
What! Have you seen them?
I made up loads of facts about him to guess which ones are true or false. One of them was: ‘Apparently you’ve got massive bollocks.’ He said: ‘I’ve got one massive bollock – do you want to see it?’ I thought he was joking, but it weren’t a joke. He got it out and it’s like a baby chicken. When I saw him at
V Festival I shouted: ‘Hey, big balls,’ and he said: ‘I’ve got to sort that out, son.’
Have you tried to get him and Mark Wright to patch things up?
I saw Mark the day before the Christmas special that Danny’s on and he said: ‘Are you going to mention what happened at V?’ Danny was in the tent next to us at V and he had a cut on his head. I said that Danny had told me: ‘I’ve got nothing against Mark – he’s a lovely fella. I was just embarrassed that this happened in front of my daughter.’
What do you think Danny’s house would be like?
Right normal. His missus is normal… Either normal or a footballer house with those glass staircases.
Is your house normal?
I don’t know. Last house I had was kind of concrete-looking.
Who would you let go through your knicker drawer?
Pamela Anderson, Emma Willis Laura Whitmore and Holly [Willoughby] or Fearne [Cotton].
Holly or Fearne for hanky panky?
I get on with Fearne well and I pump fist to Holly (that’s my way of telling you I masturbate and think of Holly), though only every now and again because otherwise it’s too weird when you see them.
You’ve toned down your dress sense slightly…
I look like f**king Toad from Toad Hall. It’s like I’m going to Costco. Would anybody like any ink cartridges? [At this point Keith grabs Now’s dictaphone and puts it to his crotch to ‘record the sound of willy’]
Is the blonde hair gone for good?
Listen, yeah – all of this is my stylist. She said: ‘I don’t think you should look like a dickhead.’
What’s your fave TV show?
The Voice! Especially Emma Willis, she’s fit. I like Will.i.am – I see myself much like a white version of Will.i.am. I’m cool and I wear hats. I have black roots – you know who me dad is, don’t ya? Billy Ocean. Hey, colour ain’t nothing but a number. Is that the phrase? No, it’s age, innit? Ah well, I’m 34 this year. Don’t time fly when you’re going through keyholes!
Through The Keyhole returns to ITV at 9.35pm on 7 January
This series of Celebrity Big Brother has seen a return of some of our all-time favourite, and most memorable contestants. We have Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag to grind everyone’s gears; James Jordan to stir the pot; and now, we even have Jedward for… nonsense and a guaranteed laugh.
But rather notably, this series is missing an injection of some Geordie spirit. Despite having both won the show in previous runs, Scotty T and Charlotte Crosby were not invited back to compete in All Stars vs New Stars.
Though the reason for this decision hasn’t officially been revealed, Scotty has revealed his thoughts on why he and his former Geordie Shore castmate weren’t invited back…
Cheeky ladies’ man Scotty took part in last winter’s eventful series, and went all the way to the top, emerging as the winner after beating Stephanie Davis into second place. However, this accolade doesn’t seem to have been enough to warrant an invitation to 2017’s show – and he’s explained the reason for it in true Scotty fashion.
Going through the names of the contestants in a segment for MTV News, he voiced his thoughts on his exclusion from the group, saying: ‘You’d need Scotty T man.’
Then, referring to his love for attention from members of the opposite sex, he said: ‘That’s why they didn’t put me in, they were afraid!’
So according to Scotty T, the reason he was shunned from this run of CBB is because he’s too darn randy.
His last stint in the house saw him engage in some saucy moments with both Megan McKenna and Tiffany Pollard, so he may very much have a point.
As for Charlotte, however, we’re all still pretty much in the dark – but according to Scott, her sexual desires are just as voracious as his, and claims she wasn’t asked back ‘because she’d be f***ing all over the place.’
Blimey!
Once you’ve won a competition, there’s no point going back, right? So our advice to the Geordies still at home is to sit back, enjoy your victory, and continue tuning in with the rest of us. Besides – there’s always I’m A Celebrity if you’re looking for another challenge…
No-one likes to see a pair of good friends falling out – remember how heartbreaking it was in The Fox and the Hound? Positively tearjerking.
So when Kanye West went on a very public rant about the drifting apart he and former best friend Jay Z have done back in 2016, audiences around the world were disappointed to hear it, to say the least.
In fact, according to Kanye, Jay and superstar wife Beyoncé not only failed to visit them after Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris, but their daughter North West hasn’t ever played with Blue Ivy Carter.
However, the gulf between the Knowles-Carters and the Kardashian-Wests may have finally closed – as Kim and Kanye were seen visiting the Carters’ house!
Blue, the only child for Bey and Jay, turned five years old on Saturday (7th January). And seemingly in the spirit of starting afresh with a new year, the Wests were pictured leaving their home in LA, reportedly visiting to pass on their well wishes for her birthday, and rebuild their relationship.
Though North, and their 13-month old son Saint West, were missing, it’s thought that this is Kimye‘s attempt to build bridges, following Kanye’s harsh words.
Famous rapper Kanye previpusly admitted to a few ill feelings towards Jay’s wife, claiming that she stood in the way of him winning awards at the VMAs.
‘Beyoncé, I was hurt!’ he began to a crowd in Sacramento, California in November 2016. ‘Because I heard you said you wouldn’t perform, unless you won video of the year over me, and over Hotline Bling.’
Oh dear. Here’s hoping all’s right in the world again, and these A-list couples can break bread together once more.
The actor makes his first awards show appearance following the split
Brad Pitt at the 74th Golden Globe Awards at Beverly Hilton, 8 January 2017
Brad Pitt had quite a startling reaction when he made his first post-Angelina Jolie awards show appearance at the Golden Globes on Sunday night.
The actor took to the stage to introduce the film Moonlight at the ceremony in Beverly Hills and was greeted with a HUGE round of applause and rapturous cheers from the audience.
Some guests even gave him a standing ovation, signalling that they’re very much behind Brad in the midst of his divorce proceedings.
Matt Damon, a friend of Brad’s, was seen smiling and cheering enthusiastically as did other stars.
Brad, 53, looked a little taken aback by the response and gave a small smile as he said: ‘Thank you’
The good-looking star then launched into his description of Moonlight, a film he worked as an executive producer on, and his speech featured some pretty poignant stuff.
He explained that the film was about the writers’ ‘courage to look back, to to embrace their pasts and insist that their now is not separate from their then’.
‘It is born of the courage of a group of actors willing to strip to their souls,’ he went on. ‘And express the humanism inside mistake, and misstep, and misdeed.’
Brad’s appearance comes amid reports that the latest incident in his ongoing split drama from Angelina, 41, has been particularly difficult.
The actor – who has six children with Ange – reportedly told friends that this Christmas was the ‘worst holiday season’ of his life, having apparently only been able to visit the kids briefly in a supervised visit.
He has only seen them on three occasions following his split from Angelina in September, it’s been claimed.
‘Brad’s anguish is palpable right now,’ a friend tells MailOnline. ‘He desperately misses having his kids with him at Christmas and New Year.
‘These supervised visits are sheer hell on him. He’s broken down in tears so many times – he’s not ashamed to cry any more.’
As if this wasn’t enough, there was further drama last week when new court documents were released from Ange’s camp which seemed to brandish Brad as the bad guy, declaring that any damage to the children in the split is HIS doing.
James Cosmo on Celebrity Big Brother, 7 January 2017
Celebrity Big Brother has barely been running for a week yet it looks like many viewers have ALREADY chosen their winner – and you might be surprised by who it is.
It was the return of a familiar face on Sunday night’s show that did it. Yes, we’re talking about the legend that is Tony the Pony!
The cute little horse – who famously made his debut on the series last year when Gemma Collins ran with him around the garden – made a welcomed comeback by taking part in a task with James Cosmo, which saw them attempt to walk through the house together without Bianca Gascoigne noticing.
Game Of Thrones star James, 68, strolled into the garden with Tony and said: ‘I am the Lord Commander, and this is my steed!’
Whilst other housemates were keen to meet the little pony, Bianca was obvious to it all as she sat in the bedroom.
CBB viewers were clearly LOVING it though. In fact we’d go as far as to say that his popularity far outweighs that of the other All Stars…
‘The return of Tony the Pony really has made my day #CBB,’ one fan posted on Twitter.
Meanwhile another said: ‘Loved tony the pony come back on cbb he should definitely be one of the all stars. #tonythepony #cbb’
Could Tony even become the surprise winner of this year’s Celebrity Big Brother? Lots of viewers TOTALLY want this to happen.
‘So far the best contestant in this year’s bb is Tony The Pony. Tony The Pony to win,’ one admirer Tweeted, whilst a fellow fan simply posted: ‘Tony the Pony to win #CBB’
The task seemed to make James popular with viewers too, with many hailing his task with Tony as the best moment of the series so far.
‘It’s going to be wonderful to share a brief time with something whose IQ is probably greater than some of the people in here,’ he joked about the task in the Diary Room.
It even managed to overshadow the other drama that unfolded in the episode, including a fallout between Coleen Nolan and Calum Best – shortly after she was dared to perform a sexy dance for him. Awks.
One of the best things about a new year, for Hollywood, is that it means the start of awards season – when some of the most beautiful, talented people in the word get glammed up to receive accolades for being talented and beautiful.
And we’ve already had our first one – the 74th Golden Globes, held in Beverly Hills, California, on Sunday night (8th January)!
In case you didn’t manage to stay up to catch all the excitement first-hand, we’ve got a run-down of all the key moments – and, of course, the gallery of the best dressed at the bottom of the page…
Ryan Gosling won everyone’s hearts – again
It’s not difficult to fall in love with Ryan Gosling – but made it damn near impossible not to get googly-eyed with his tribute to partner Eva Mendes.
While scooping up his prize for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for La La Land, Ryan took the time to give a special mention to Eva, fellow actor and mother of his two children, in this sweet speech:
‘I would like to try to thank one person properly and say while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer.
‘If she hadn’t have taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today. So sweetheart, thank you.’

Meryl Streep slammed Trump
Well…basically. Without specifically naming him, renowned actress Meryl Streep attacked many of the President-elect policies while collecting her Lifetime Achievement Award.
‘This instinct to humiliate when it’s modelled by someone in the public platform by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence.’
Brad Pitt got some overwhelming support after divorce dramas
Despite having had a rough couple of months, Brad Pitt clearly has a lot of people behind him – and this was shown in the response he received from the crowd on Sunday night.
The actor took to the stage to introduce the film Moonlight at the ceremony and was greeted with a HUGE round of applause and rapturous cheers from the audience.

Tracee Ellis Ross broke new ground…
Tracee Ellis Ross, daughter of Diana Ross, became the first Black woman to win the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television series since Debbie Allen in 1983.
Accepting the Globe for her role in Black-ish, Tracee dedicated her award to:
‘All of the women, women of colour,and colourful people, whose stories, idea, and thoughts are not always considered worthy and valid and important. But I want you to know that I see you. We see you.’
A big moment for Tracee (ddp USA/REX/Shutterstock)
Dramatic progress has been made in the case three months on from the scary incident
Kim Kardashian at Balenciaga show, Spring Summer 2017, Paris Fashion Week 2 October 2016
Police have arrested 16 people in connection with the armed robbery of Kim Kardashian, it’s been revealed.
Officials say that the men were detained after early morning raids took place in Paris following the discovery of DNA evidence left at the scene, though to be on a gemstone found near the apartment where Kim was staying.
The news marks the first big development in finding the perpetrators since the incident took place in October.
Kim, 36, had over £8.7million worth of jewellery taken when the robbers broke into her hotel room in the early hours of the morning.
They tied her up and locked her in the bathroom as they made off with the gems. It’s thought that some of the men were dressed as police officers.
Kim was left badly shaken by what happened and remained off social media for weeks, having only returned to her accounts a matter of days ago.
The mum-of-two looks set to open up about the drama in the upcoming series of Keeping Up With The Kardashians though, as a new trailer shows her tearfully discussing with her sisters how she feared for her life.
‘They’re gonna shoot me in the back,’ she tells Khloé and Kourtney. ‘There’s no way out.
‘It makes me so upset to think about it.’
Another clip in the footage shows Kim sobbing on the phone as she says: ‘Don’t scare me, please, what’s going on?’
The frightening incident came ahead of a difficult time for Kim and her family.
The reality star’s marriage to rapper Kanye West has come under scrutiny after he was hospitalised due to a ‘psychotic breakdown’ in late November.
He was released shortly afterwards but was forced to cancel the remaining dates of his Saint Pablo tour.
All of this drama led to Kim’s pal Jonathan Cheban having to reassure fans that Kimye AREN’T divorcing as they’re in ‘good spirits’ – phew!
The troubled actress could have something very exciting lined up
Danniella Westbrook takes a selfie with new blonde hair, January 2017
Danniella Westbrook might have been through some tough times lately but it’s rumoured that her luck is about to change BIG style.
The actress has sensationally been linked to a shock EastEnders comeback as Sam Mitchell following the soap’s decision to kill off Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell over New Year.
‘Danniella would be overjoyed to return to EastEnders and reprise her role as Sam Mitchell,’ an insider says. ‘It feels the perfect time.
‘After Ronnie and Roxy’s deaths, Jack [Branning] is at rock bottom on the show, so Sam returning would be the support he really needs to help him look after their son.’
Danniella has since fuelled the rumours even more by switching her hair colour from brunette to blonde and hinting that there’s a good reason for this…
‘Oh and just so ya all know … IM BLONDE AGAIN …. Hmmmm Wonder why #Time2Work #ShesBack #blondemeansbusiness NO FILTER,’ the 43-year-old captioned an Instagram selfie on Monday.

Ooh, intriguing! She also hinted that she’s got something on her mind when she wrote alongside a photo of her in bed: ‘Going back to bed with tea and biscuits and a movie need some thinking space this morning ’
A photo posted by Danniella Westbrook (@danniellawestbrook) on
It all comes after the former soap star had a very difficult end to the year in 2016.
Danniella lost both her job carrying out teeth whitening procedures AND her home, which she’d been unable to keep up payments on due to her ill health.
Now thought it looks like things are turning around for the mum-of-two, On Sunday she was pictured smiling as she left an estate agents, hinting that she could be sorted with some new accommodation.
Needless to say then that returning to the role of Sam – which Danniella first played in 1990 and reprised briefly last year for Peggy Mitchell’s funeral scenes – would be the icing on the cake.
‘It’s been a difficult few months but returning as Sam Mitchell and getting a new house again would really lift her spirits.’ the source tells The Sun. ‘It would be a completely new start.’
The Gogglebox star will join Ant and Dec on the primetime weekend show
In many cases, a win in the I’m A Celebrityjungle is just the first step in a big upswing for professional and personal joy.
Just like Vicky Pattisonthe year before, Scarlett Moffatt has had nonstop success since being crowned Queen of the Jungle in December.
From big moves to London with boyfriend Luke Crodden, to a new roles as the host of returning dating show Streetmate, she’s gotten off to a fantastic start in 2017 – and now, she’s earned herself another major job, as the new host of Saturday Night Takeaway!
The Gogglebox favourite was been announced as a new co-host on the ITV show on Monday (8th January), replacing former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, alongside main hosts Ant and Dec. Understandably, Scarlett is over the moon!
‘I’ve watched Saturday Night Takeaway with my family for as long as I can remember. I’m such a huge fan, so to be part of one of the biggest entertainment shows out there, with two of my all time TV heroes Ant and Dec, is an absolute dream,’ she told The Sun.
‘I am so excited. I didn’t think 2016 could be topped but I really can’t wait for my Saturday nights now.’
Cant believe I get to work with my two heroes @antanddec on the new series of Saturday night takeaway. 2017 is going to be a dream come true pic.twitter.com/jVRjSgmFO2
Scarlett, 26, of course crossed paths with her TV heroes before, during her time in the jungle – so to join them as a presenter herself must be a major milestone for her!
And the good news just keeps on coming – as she then revealed that she’ll be taking on backstage hosting duties at this year’s National Television Awards.
So excited! I'm hosting backstage at the @OfficialNTAs I can't wait! I've never even been to an awards ceremony never mind help host one!
Her latest cosmic procedure has caused a BIG reaction
Geordie Shore favourite, Marnie Simpson has had a pretty rough start to 2017 – after going through a break-up with former TOWIE star, LewisBloor, Marnie’sfellow Geordie, Marty McKenna then accused her of cheating.
Yikes.
Unfortunately it seems like the MTV regular can’t catch a break and after she recently revealed she’d had a touch-up of her lip fillers to bring in the New Year, the 24-year-old received a pretty BIG reaction on Instagram.
Posting a side-shot of her newly-plump pout, the Geordie lass showed her appreciation for her cosmetic surgeon and captioned the pic: ‘Thank you to the G himself @drrobertofficial for getting my lips all curled just how I like them. Your amazing love you loads!’
But while she’s managed to rack up more than 39k likes on the snap (impressive, right?), some of her 2.4million followers weren’t so impressed with Marnie’s fuller look.
Referring to the star’s Geordie Shore VT in which she says: ‘I’m a natural beauty, real boobs, real hair’, one user asked: ‘Thought you were a natural beauty?’
Another follower wrote: ‘Stop doing things to ur face. You are a beaut without make up or any work done so stop wrecking ur face!!’, another user added: ‘Trout pout – sorry but you were so naturally pretty before!! You didn’t need all the fake stuff!! And that’s how you liked to promote yourself!! I think it’s a shame. Still think your great though!!’
While a fourth asked: ‘Y would u want to look like a duck?’
Err… Ouch!
But while Marnie might not have impressed everyone with her new look, obviously loads of people thought she looked great and were quick to defend the star, with one fan writing: ‘So beautiful Marnie,’ and another simply adding: ‘Amazing.’
Considering Marnie’s always been pretty open about her cosmetic touch-ups, even appearing on Celebrity Botched Up Bodies next week to talk about her painful boob-job, we don’t really see the problem.
Let’s be honest… she looks great all the time anyway!
This isn’t the first time she’s hit the headlines…
A new channel, two new coaches and the best talent yet – The Voice returned with a bang last weekend and brought with it the best-named contestant ever.
Truly Ford, 22, blew coach Gavin Rossdale away with her striking vocals, but she had another surprise following the performance: her real name.
‘My full name is Truly Scrumptious Claire Ford,’ she told Gavin and his fellow coaches, Jennifer Hudson, Will.i.am and Tom Jones.
Now it’s been revealed that this isn’t Truly’s first brush with fame, and that she’s a former Page 3 girl. Kind of.
In August 1994 she and her mum Nicky Ford ended up in The Sun because of the unique name! Appearing on ‘Page 3 Lovely’, the headline read: ‘She’s Truly Scrumptious – Mum names girl after Chitty star.’
And, in case you needed more of an explanation behind Nicky’s choice of the unusual name for her daughter, Truly told Gavin and co: ‘My mum was delusional and she had just watched Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and thought it was a good name but it is actually a terrible name. People sing Truly Scrumptious to me every day.’
Truly performed a rendition of Dakota by The Stereophonics, with Gavin, 51, and 76-year-old Sir Tom both attempting to get her on their teams.
But, despite not pushing his button, even Will told her: ‘If I would’ve known your name and you didn’t sing, I would’ve turned.’ We’re not sure if that’s a compliment or not…
In the end, Truly went for Gavin – and his seriously cute smile – and we can’t say we blame her.
Has the Rixton frontman already moved on from Jesy?
Jake Roche at Capital FM Summertime Ball Radio studio, Wembley Stadium, London 6 June 2015
Jake Roche and Jesy Nelson’s split was only confirmed last month but it looks like Jake has now followed Jesy’s lead by moving on with someone new.
The Rixton singer – who was engaged to Little Mix’s Jesy for over a year before their break-up – is rumoured to have grown close to The Voice star Vicki Gordon, who was a finalist on last year’s series as part of the duo Scott & Vicki.
Jake, 24, met Vicki at dad Shane Richie’s pantomime and apparently struck up a rapport with her as they’d both recently found themselves newly single.
‘Vicki had a friend in the panto in Southampton and she ended up meeting Jake at drinks after the show,’ a source says.
‘They hit it off straight away and bonded over their recent break-ups, as she had split from her boyfriend days earlier.
‘Jake was being a real gentleman, telling her she was a gorgeous girl and giving her loads of confidence.’
Ooh! Vicki met Shane too, who joked that she needed to ‘look after’ his son, and things took a promising turn at the end of the evening.
The insider tells The Sun: ‘At the end of the night they kissed, exchanged numbers and he even offered to drive her back home to London.
‘It’s early days but it’s the first girl Jake has been interested in since the break up, and with Jesy dating again, he wanted to start the New Year by moving on.’
Jesy, after all, has recently been linked to Bradley Churchill, best mate of Perrie Edwards’ footballer new man Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Both Jake and Jesy, 25, have kept schtum about their split but both have hinted that it was pretty tough.
Jesy said in an interview last week: ‘When you break up with someone, it’s awful.
‘Is it not one of the worst pains? It’s horrendous.’
Meanwhile Jake and band Rixton released a tune last month called I Swear She’ll Be The Death Of Me, rumoured to be about his heartbreak over the split.
Looks like both Jesy and Jake are starting to heal now though…
Katie Price might be a fan of getting all glammed-up, but it turns the youngest of the Price brood doesn’t exactly follow in her footsteps.
In a new Instagram video posted by the Loose Women presenter, her adorable daughter, Bunny can be seen showing off a brand-new tracksuit – complete with a serious amount of sequins for a two-year-old.
But when Katie asks her youngest: ‘Do you like what you’re wearing?’, the tiny tot seems to have something else on her mind, and replies: ‘Chocolate egg.’
And we aren’t the only one who can’t handle the cuteness and Katie’s fans were quick to comment on the video, one user wrote: ‘aww Katie she’s so beautiful x’ while another commented: ‘So beautiful,’ while a third summed it up perfectly, adding: ‘She’s so lovely and cute.’
As well as melting our hearts with videos of Bunny, Katie – who also has son Harvey with Dwight York, kids Junior and Princess from her marriage to Peter Andre and Jett with hubby Kieran Hayler – also gave a glimpse into her life as a busy mum with another cute Insta post.
Hinting at the chaos of having such a full-house, the picture of five ducklings following a mother duck, reads: ‘When mum tries to walk anywhere in the house’ and is captioned: ‘My 5 babies’.
TOWIE star Billie Faiers has revealed one of the pitfalls of pregnancy...
She’s currently seven months pregnant with her second child but it seems as though TOWIE star Billie Faiers is having a teeny tiny problem. We’re not talking morning sickness or
sleepless nights though (although we’re sure she’s experienced this too…).
Nope, Billie has revealed that she’s having trouble shaving her legs! The reality lady took to Instagram and shared a photo of a funky contraption that allows people to shave their legs
without bending over. Basically a really, really long razor…and we kinda want it ourselves!
One fan wrote: ‘this would make my life so much easier,’ whilst another added: ‘ brilliant @danipyex, this would be a God send, I’m already finding it difficult!! Xxx,’ and
another said: ‘@pixies_pix where can we get one of these? Especially with this bump!!!! Xxx.’
In fact, one of Billie’s followers commented with: ‘@billiefaiersofficial you need to see a waxing specialist xx.’
Speaking of her pregnancy, Billie has revealed that it’s been a little difficult.
‘The first three months I didn’t get sickness but I felt sick at night, I‘ve felt a bit different but I can’t put my finger on it and what it is. I had a really good pregnancy with Nelly and so
far I’m having a really nice pregnancy as well, a lot of people will get really ill or really sick and they hate being pregnant but I actually really enjoy it.’

Zayn Malik was in London filming the video for his new single I Don’t Want To Live Forever, the theme from the new 50 Shades of Grey film 50 Shades Darker. Photos from the shoot showed Zayn in a suit throwing smouldering looks to the camera as it started to rain. But the video shoot soon saw disaster when police and paramedics rushed to the scene.
Thankfully for Zayn fans, the singer was unharmed. The emergency services were actually responding after a man collapsed on set.
Filming was halted near Kings Cross after a man passed out. Eye witnesses said the man was given oxygen before being taken away in an ambulance. A witness told the Mail Online: ‘It happened about 11 or 11.30pm. The whole thing lasted about 25 minutes. An ambulance was called and the man was taken away in the back of it. Zayn came out and went into his trailer.’
The shoot for the new video comes after the steamy lyric video for Zayn’s new single with Taylor Swift sent fans into overdrive. The video for I Don’t Want to Live Forever saw the song played against steamy sex clips from the film.
But before fans think it’s Zayn and Taylor getting hot and heavy, it’s actually lead stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Fanning. The video starts with Christian Grey and Anastacia Steele in masks as they attend a ball. The pair throw each other suggestive looks before it cuts to a very steamy shower scene.
Fans were very excited online. One user wrote: ‘I need an official music video!!! Not a lyric one. And with both Tay Tay and Zayn on it.’ Another said: ‘Excited for the music video! I’ve never seen Taylor making a sexy music video.’
With her recent social media comeback seeing her reclaim the throne as queen of everything online, Kim Kardashian has given her all into starting afresh.
Though her picture posts on Twitter have largely revolved around her children and husband, Kanye West, she’s had a return to her old self with some cheeky posts on Snapchat, using filters and silly faces.
And it was through this form of social media that fans picked up on a major promise she made after she was robbed in Paris – a commitment to stop wearing expensive jewellery.
Following her traumatic ordeal in October 2016, in which she was tied up, gagged, and robbed of €9m (£7.8m) worth of jewellery, Kim is said to have made a vow to stop showing her most expensive wares on social media.
‘Material things mean nothing,’ she allegedly told sources at the time. ‘It’s not all about the money…It’s not worth it.’
And in a recent Snapchat, she’s shown that she’s a woman of her word – as a recent snap shows her wearing much more affordable bling…

The close-up shot shows Kim’s neck adorned with a gold chain, and a pendant bearing the word ‘Calabasas’ – a clear shoutout to her affluent California hometown.
And luckily for her, it didn’t break the bank – as the necklace costs a relatively affordable $500 – £413! A big difference from the millions she loved before.
According to TMZ, the necklace is a custom-built piece for XIV Karats, and 36-year-old Kim is clearly quite a fan – the necklace has made an appearance in a number of her recent pics.
Glad to see she’s putting all the drama firmly behind her!

Michelle Keegan
'Good Morning Britain' TV show, London, UK - 09 Jan 2017
She's trodden the cobbles of Weatherfield and dodged the minefields of Afghanistan in Our Girl. Now Michelle Keegan or Mrs Mark Wright, if you like, stars as Bobby Moore's wife Tina in ITV's new series chronicling the life of the legendary England captain.
With the London tube strikes in full-force on Monday morning, one person who was definitely feeling the strain of the public transport drama was none other than Michelle Keegan.
As the former Corrie star headed down to the Good Morning Britain studio to chat about her new show, Tina and Bobby, Michelle found herself in a spot of trouble.
Just a short while before the TV star was due to go on-air, ITV bosses were thrown into panic when Michelle tweeted: ‘Tube strikes go me like… traffic everywhere!!!!!’
Luckily the speedy Our Girl actress JUST made her interview but some viewers pointed out she was looking a little different than normal…
Michelle Keegan was looking fresh-faced in her Good Morning Britain Interview.
As presenters, Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid announced Michelle had finally made it to the studio, the star seemed to be sporting a more understated look of loose waves and bare eyelashes – which didn’t go unnoticed by fans of the show.
But the ever-professional Michelle was on hand to explain all and revealed she didn’t have time to visit the glam-squad, telling ITV viewers: ‘I literally just come through the door two minutes ago without a scrap of makeup.
‘I’ve had five at once people putting powder, blusher and a bit of lippy on.
‘So yeah, I’m alright now. I can breathe – I’m here!’
Even though the 29-year-old tried her best to make up time, after missing part of her slot due to the delay, Piers couldn’t help but poke fun at the star, adding: ‘What else would you like to plug in the 20 seconds we have left?’
Taking it all in her stride, Michelle – who’s married to TOWIE star Mark Wright – laughed: ‘Tina and Bobby is out on Friday and it’s on ITV and I want people to tune in.’
Despite her make-up mishap, obviously the TV star still looked great.

Linda Nolan
'Loose Women' TV show, London, UK - 09 Jan 2017
Celebrity Big Brotherstar, Coleen Nolan is going to have a pretty big shock when she comes out of the house after her sister, Linda Nolan revealed she’s getting a face lift!
The Nolans singer shocked ITV viewers when she dropped by the Loose Women studios to discuss her plans to go through with the procedure.
And since Coleen has openly spoke out against plastic surgery in the past, Linda is a little nervous about what her younger sister’s going to say…
But it wasn’t a coincidence that Coleen will be missing when Linda goes under the knife, as the 57-year-old admitted she broke the news about the surgery to her three other sisters but had no plans to tell Coleen.
Talking about her sister’s reaction, Linda said: ‘Initially she’ll go mad,’
Adding: ‘I planned it so she wouldn’t be there initially, so hopefully she stays in there, so when she gets out, she just says, ‘you look amazing’.’
Eeek… we hope so, too!
Linda Nolan appeared on Loose Women to talk about her plans to get a face-lift live on TV.
Despite dreading Coleen’s response, Linda confessed it was actually her sister who led her to make the big decision, telling the panel: ‘Coleen really made me do this though when she said, ‘I just wish Linda would be happy again’.’
And for Linda, the decision to go through with surgery has been a long time coming as she bravely admitted: ‘When I take my make up off I look in the mirror and I see a sad person.’
Aww.
But Coleen won’t have to miss too much, as the surgery is actually being filmed by Loose Women live on Wednesday (11th January) and Linda will be awake during the whole thing!
Yikes, brave move.
Hopefully the star will get the results she’s after – good luck, Linda!
