Phillip Schofield will skate for the first time on 'Dancing on Ice' on Sunday (09.03.14).
The 51-year-old presenter will take to the ice for the first time since he began hosting the show nine years ago in a bid to give the show - which will end after the current series - an exciting send-off.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Fans have wanted Phillip to get his skates on for the past nine years but he has always refused because doesn't really fancy slipping over and breaking something.
"But after months of arm-twisting by producers, Phillip has finally agreed to give it a whirl. It should be hilarious TV. With Torvill and Dean doing their last ever performance of the Bolero too, it could be one of the show's most memorable episodes."
Phillip will be joined on the ice by his co-host Christine Bleakley and the panel of judges, including Ashley Roberts and Jason Gardiner, as they've all been taking part in secret training sessions.
Meanwhile, Olympic gold medal winner Beth Tweddle, former 'Emmerdale' actress Hayley Tamaddon and singer Ray Quinn will battle it out to be crowned champion of the all-stars series.
Mark Wright says Michelle Keegan's affair in 'Coronation Street' has spiced up their love life.
The actress' soap alter-ego Tina McIntyre has been seeing married man Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) in recent months and Michelle's fiancé admits he loves helping her learn lines for steamy scenes between the characters.
Mark told the Daily Star newspaper: "I always help her with her lines, we do it in bed. I love being the other people in her scenes. I've been Carla, Peter, even David Platt - it's fun!
"I like being Peter the most. It's cool pretending to have an affair with her, although we actually carry it on after the lines have stopped!"
The 'Party Wright Around the World' star has been offered the chance to star in a reality show with Michelle but isn't keen on airing their romance on screen.
He added: "I've been approached by a lot of companies, there's a lot of interest in my life with Michelle.
"I want to do stuff with a format. I don't want it to be all about my personal life.
"Michelle's doing her thing, I do mine and then we go home and be normal together rather than working together."
Susanna Reid has reportedly angered BBC bosses by defecting to rival ITV.
The 'BBC Breakfast' host has accepted a £500,000 deal to front ITV's new breakfast programme 'Good Morning Britain' later this year and she has apparently "burned her bridges" with the BBC, who only learned of her departure just hours before ITV announced her recruitment yesterday (03.03.14).
Susanna, 42, had requested the week off in the aftermath of her highly publicised split from partner Dominic Cotton and delivered a further blow by handing in her notice on Monday morning.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "There were shades of what went on when Christine Bleakley left to do the exact same thing. She'll be lucky to work for the BBC again."
Christine, 35, jumped ship from BBC to ITV in 2010 to front current morning programme 'Daybreak', but she was axed along with Adrian Chiles a year later amid low viewing figures and mixed reviews.
Susanna is set to begin work for ITV in late April and will be joined on 'Good Morning Britain' by former GMTV host Ben Shephard, Sky News' Charlotte Hawkins and Sky Sports News presenter Sean Fletcher.
Last night, the TV star said she looks forward to a "new challenge" with ITV.
She wrote on Twitter: "I'm very excited to be joining Good Morning Britain. I have loved being at BBC Breakfast & will miss the team. But as a news journalist & presenter I couldn't turn down this opportunity and a new challenge (sic)"
'Fawlty Towers' star Prunella Scales is suffering from dementia.
The actress, who played hot-headed hotel manager Basil Fawlty's patient wife Sybil in the classic sitcom, has been struggling with the degenerative memory loss illness, her husband of 50 years Timothy West has revealed.
Speaking in new TV documentary 'Great Canal Journeys', he explained: "When you think this person that I loved and enjoyed this and that and the other with doesn't really exist anymore, that's quite painful.
"Prunella can't remember things very well but you don't have to remember things on the canal. You can just enjoy things as they happen - so it's perfect for her."
The More4 show follows the couple as they take four canal trips across the UK, enjoying the beauty of the British countryside.
Timothy, who stars as Stan Carter on 'EastEnders', admitted that while Prunella, 81, "doesn't really exist anymore", her sense of humour is still the same.
Prunella insisted the condition wouldn't stop her from acting and she intended to keep performing on stage.
She said: "I always say I want to die on the eighth curtain call. Eight will mean the show's been rather a success. I just hope I'm somewhere near the middle and have been reasonably good in the part."
Nicholas Hoult will star in 'Kill Your Friends'.
The 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' actor will play an A&R agent in pursuit of the next big hit, in the film adaptation of John Niven's 2008 book of the same name, according to deadline.com.
The 24-y...
Imogen Poots wanted to play a "redneck" in 'Need For Speed'.
The British actress was disappointed to learn she wouldn't need an American accent for her role as a young car dealer in Scott Waugh's action film where she plays Julia Maddon.
She told collider.com: "[Was it a relief?] Hell, no. I wanted to play like a redneck, but they wanted me to be British in the film, so I'm doing my best, but it's nice. I kind of understand that perspective too, because again, it adds something different to the film and again gives the characters more of an awkward beginning. They're not used to one another's culture or whatever it is. I can see their point of view for wanting to try that."
The 24-year-old beauty - who stars alongside 'Breaking Bad' star Aaron Paul and Agent Carter's Dominic Cooper - never felt intimidated being one of the only women on set as she was "taken care of" and insists the race-driving epic will appeal to women as well as men.
She explained: "It's a testosterone environment when we're making this film in, for sure. There's a lot of guys. There's a lot of lifting and a lot of cars breaking down and getting put back together again.
"But I think [women] will just go to see a fun movie. I don't think there's any divide whether you're male or female."
Lea Michele claims recording her debut album helped her to deal with the tragedy of losing her boyfriend Cory Monteith.
The 'Glee' star releases her record 'Louder' this month and says music has been her "therapy" but she still finds it difficult to listen to the track 'If You Say So', which is about Cory, who was found dead in his hotel room in Vancouver, Canada, in July last year, after an overdose.
Lea told Billboard: "It has both sides of the spectrum. Listening to it, it's therapeutic and difficult. It will always represent the most devastating thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life.
"But at the same time, music is therapy. It has been therapy for me in the entire grieving process and in my entire life."
The 27-year-old singer says she has to "acknowledge" what she has been through and claims another song on the record, 'Cannonball', represents finding strength and hope.
She said: "These are the two sides of my life right now. The grief, but also the search for strength and hope. I really wanted those two songs to bookend the album. Really let everyone know where I'm at."
'Louder' will be released on March 17 and Lea is already looking towards her second album after completing her debut last summer.
She said: "I'm already thinking about what I want it to look like. This record is such a strong representation of what the last two years of my life were like and I don't know what's next for me in my life. But I can't wait. Making music is so incredible, you tell the story of your life through music. I plan on it being very happy, very bright. Maybe not as dark."
Pharrell Williams believes the spirit of late soul singer Curtis Mayfield helped to make his song 'Happy' a hit.
The 40-year-old singer, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song for the track, which was used in the film 'Despicable Me 2', is a big fan of the 'Move On Up' singer.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "I was pretending to be the masterful Curtis Mayfield. I hope he likes it, I'm trying to do what he would've done."
The song has conquered the charts and although Pharrell missed out on an Oscar, he is overwhelmed by his solo success, after big collaborations with Daft Punk and Robin Thicke.
He continued: "It's incredibly rewarding. I've never been so humbled in my entire life.
"It seemed like the most difficult thing ever, write a song for a mean-spirited character in the film who has this dry humour, trying to make him be happy."
The song is taken from Pharrell's new solo album 'G I R L', which was released this week, and he insists it's the "most important work" he's ever done, with his favourite track being another collaboration with Daft Punk called 'Gust Of Wind'.
He said: "It's my favourite because it's the first song that came to me.
"I've never had dreams about music before but I just woke up and I had it there.
"But those robots are so cryptic. they are like so 007 about everything."
Meanwhile, despite his solo success, Pharrell is adamant he's still with his band N.E.R.D, featuring Chad Hugo and Shay Haley, and they have been working on new ideas.
Asked if the band were parting ways, he said: "No, we're working on this animation project."

Sinitta is relieved she and Simon Cowell will never be subjected to romance rumours again now he has settled down and started a family.
The 'So Macho' singer, who is godmother to his newborn son, Eric, his first child with girlfriend, Lauren Silverman, is happy to be friends with the music mogul.
She told OK! Magazine: "The whole are-we-or-aren't-we thing with Simon and I ... Being a bit stuck or hung-up on each other, but not being able to fully commit to each other and equally not being able to fully move on ... In recent times we've finally been able to do that and him having a baby with Lauren certainly stops the yo-yo situation forever."
The brunette beauty thinks Simon, 54, has met his match with Lauren, 36, and feels they "deserve to be together" and be happy as a family with Eric, who was born on Valentine's Day (14.02.14).
Sinitta said: "Lauren has made my best friend extremely happy and he's finally found the woman he truly loves."
The 45-year-old singer, who dated Simon in the 1980s, admitted the TV mogul hasn't always been able to be a "faithful boyfriend" until now, but she insists he has been a "faithful friend" and she has a close bond with his mum Julie.
She said: "Simon and I have good times together. We care for each other's families. His mum's like my mother. I've known her since I was a teenager, we're old family friends."
Sinitta also addressed rumours that Simon, who is godfather to her children, gives her a wage, claiming she earns her own money but says he is generous when it comes to her son Zac, seven, and daughter Magdalena, eight.
She said: "When I was mentoring [on 'The X Factor'] he paid me the going rate. As godfather he pays towards my children's school fees and he buys us lovely birthday and Christmas presents. He's a generous friend but I earn my own money."
Celine Dion's husband has been battling throat cancer.
The 'My Heart Will Go On' hitmaker has been supporting René Angélil, 72, after he underwent surgery on December 23 to have a tumour removed, and the couple are relieved the operation was "successful".
Celine's representative told E! News: "Putting to rest rumours that have been circulating these past few weeks, Rene Angelil's office confirmed today that he has been recovering at home in Las Vegas following surgery to remove a cancerous tumour from his throat on December 23rd.
"The procedure was successful and Mr. Angelil was released from hospital a few days following the surgery."
René - who has grown-up children Patrick, Jean-Pierre and Anne-Marie from his previous marriages, and René-Charles, 13, and twins Eddy and Nelson, three, with Celine - has taken a break from his career managing his 45-year-old spouse to focus on his recovery and relax with his family.
The representative added: "During his recovery, Mr. Angelil has decided to take a short hiatus from his normal work schedule, and concentrate on rebuilding his strength through proper rest and nutrition."
Celine - who has a residency in Las Vegas - issued a statement which added: "I don't want René to stress out with work-related issues. I want him to focus on getting back to 100 percent. I've been doing my shows at the Colosseum and everything's under control.
"At home we've been spending a lot of quality time with the family. We feel very fortunate that we've been able to get the best care possible and we thank God every day for helping us to get through this ordeal."
René previously battled throat cancer in 2001.
Cate Blanchett slept with her Best Actress Oscar.
The 'Blue Jasmine' actress - who won Best Supporting Actress in 2004 for her role in 'The Aviator' - joked she and husband Andrew Upton had had a "threesome" following the Academy Awards on Sunday (02.03.14) because she couldn't bear to let the statuette out of her sight.
She said: "It's the closest my husband and I have ever come to a threesome."
The 44-year-old beauty - who has sons Dashiell, 12, Roman, nine, and Ignatius, five - with Andrew - admitted accepting the award was a bizarre experience.
She explained: "I was so stressed. I don't think I drank that much last night but it was such a release of adrenaline."
Cate appeared on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show just hours after the ceremony and admitted to the host - who had presented the awards - that she had only had "a little bit of sleep".
Ellen said: "What can I get you? I have Visine, I have Advil. I have water. I have a banana."
The actress replied: "Do you have a blanket or a coffee or something?"
Ellen had arranged to have pizza delivered to the A-list audience at the Oscars, but Cate had to stop for food on her way home because she was away from her seat when the pies were distributed inside the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
She said: "I went to the bar to try and get something to eat and then they wouldn't let me back in!
"But all those actresses were hovering it up so I wouldn't have got a piece anyway."
