Charlotte Crosby and Rachel Riley help Self-Esteem Team


Charlotte Crosby and Rachel Riley have lead celebrities in a New Year's resolutions campaign for mental health.
The 'Geordie Shore' star and 'Countdown' host joined 'New Year's ReVolution' - which has been organised by The Self-Esteem-Team - and are among famous faces that are taking part in putting an end to appearance-based resolutions, such as joining a gym or going on a diet.
Charlotte, 25, has declared that she wants to: "Spend more quality time with my friends, and when we do that, to put all mobile phones in the corner and stay off them. I want to be able to socialise properly."
While Rachel, 29, added: "To get back on my bike and build myself up slowly but surely. I find that when I set myself small targets that I can actually achieve I get so much satisfaction. And I love being on my bike, it's time for me, it clears my head, and it's healthy. Hopefully a healthy mind, a healthy body."
The Self-Esteem Team includes founding member Natasha Devon, a journalist, singer Grace Barrett, and showbiz editor Nadia Mendoza.
The women give workshops in schools around the country with the aim of tackling body image and mental health issues, and other celebrities to join them in stating their New Year's inspirational "Revs" are fitness model Michelle Lewin - who has 6.9 million followers on Instagram - and SBTV founder Jamal Edwards.

Holiday bargain hunter Jennifer Metcalfe


Jennifer Metcalfe books her holidays early to avoid hefty price tags.
The 'Hollyoaks' actress - who is often photographed showing off her bikini body while soaking up the sun on luxury trips abroad - revealed earlier this year that she was planning to jet off to Dubai with co-star Jorgie Porter for Christmas but was worried she'd left it too late to bag a bargain deal.
Asked what she'd be doing for Christmas, Jennifer told BANG Showbiz: "Maybe Dubai with Jorgie.
"It's such a good place to go for Christmas because it's a little bit Englishy.
"But you've got to book early because the prices really go up."
The 32-year-old beauty - who is dating former 'Geordie Shore' star Greg Lake - added that she planned to spend the festive season with her close pals and their boyfriends.
Asked if Greg would be joining her in Dubai, she added: "Yeah, probably, and Jorgie and the gang."
Meanwhile, Jennifer previously confessed Greg thought it was "funny" when she was named Sexiest Female at the Inside Soap Awards.
She explained: "He thinks it's funny. He thinks I'm dead sexy. I'm like, 'How can you?' "

New-look Top Gear ‘has already hit crisis point’


Chris Evans' new-look 'Top Gear' show has reportedly been riddled with problems from the outset.
The 49-year-old presenter has replaced Jeremy Clarkson as the face of the programme following his sacking earlier this year, but his dream job has proven to be anything but since he assumed the reins.
A 'Top Gear' insider shared: "When Chris was hired it was like the problem of what to do with 'Top Gear' after Clarkson left had been solved. But the problems keep on coming."
Chris - a self-confessed car fanatic - also suffered a rather embarrassing incident while filming the programme.
A show source told The Sun newspaper: "The first time Chris went round the 'Top Gear' track he crashed the car.
"Unfortunately for him it was a brand new Jag that had been lent to the show."
What's more, Chris is said to be facing intense pressure from BBC bosses, some of whom are meddling in editorial decisions.
In particular, BBC Two controller Kim Shillinglaw has become the "nightmare" chief meddler, according to one insider.
The source said: "Kim has been central to everything that is happening. Generally, she has a reputation as a meddler.
"The show has had to become a lot more PC following the Clarkson row. There is less leeway to do out-there stuff and Kim has become a bit of a nightmare."
Meanwhile, another source claimed Chris has failed to understand the format of the show.
The insider said: "Chris has struggled to get his head around pre-recorded videos, which is mostly what 'Top Gear' is.
"Unfortunately, when you come to plan all this stuff, it can't be done on the fly."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini ‘has been replaced by Rita Ora as the It girl’


Sharon Osbourne thinks Rita Ora has replaced Cheryl Fernandez-Versini as the new "It girl".
The 63-year-old TV personality has told Cheryl, 32, to accept that Rita is the nation's new sweetheart and that her 'X Factor' co-star has overtaken her among female pop singers in Britain.
She said: "Cheryl needs to just ride out the storm. You can't be the 'It girl' all the time.
"There's always one girl that everyone wants to be around and interview, and that's Rita right now."
However, Sharon also issued a warning to Rita, insisting that her moment as the country's "It girl" will only be fleeting.
She told Closer magazine: "It comes with the territory, but it never lasts longer than five minutes. You can't be everyone's flavour of the day - it comes and goes in waves."
Earlier this month, meanwhile, Cheryl's cousin Tony Tweedy claimed the pop star and her husband Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini - who wed last year after a whirlwind romance - find it difficult to communicate because she speaks little French and he is not well versed in English.
Tony explained: "The family think the marriage is over. When I asked if Cheryl was happy with him, they replied, 'Put it this way, I'll give it six months.' That was three months ago, and look what's happening.
"Cheryl can't speak French. I'm told he speaks little English. What sort of relationship is it if she cannot speak French and he can't speak English? They may as well have a threesome with the interpreter."

Katie Price joins the Loose Women panel


Katie Price has joined the 'Loose Women' panel.
The 37-year-old star has become the latest celebrity to join the ITV programme and Katie has promised to be "the most outspoken of them all".
Katie said: "Love rats watch out! Badly-behaved celebs beware, because it's all about opinion and I won't be holding back. The Pricey's always right."
The former glamour model has joined the popular daytime talk show after impressing during guest stints earlier this year - even though she turned up late to one show on Halloween.
Katie added: "I'm so excited to be joining the 'Loose Women' panel in January. I've always been a huge fan of the show because it's about real female opinions. I'm joining a fantastic team and, as usual, I won't be holding anything back."
Meanwhile, Sally Shelford, editor of 'Loose Women', said: "Katie Price has all the ingredients of a brilliant 'Loose Women' panelist: she's frank, feisty and not afraid to voice her opinions, together with being a successful businesswoman and inspiring mum.
"The 'Loose Women' team can't wait to welcome her as an official presenter in the New Year."
The announcement comes shortly after it was revealed Vicky Pattison - who recently won 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!' - has also joined the 'Loose Women' panel.

Sinitta plans big project for 2016


Sinitta will launch "a big project" in 2016.
The 'So Macho' singer is trying to open her own TV studio in the new year and can't wait for the huge undertaking.
She said: "I am trying to launch my own TV studio like a production company. It is a big project.
"We have been building the studio and collecting all the equipment."
The 52-year-old singer, who has supported Simon Cowell mentoring his contestants on ITV's 'The X Factor', also confessed that she is a bit overwhelmed by the project.
She added: "I don't really know what I am doing, but I am excited about it."
And when she's not busy working on her studio, Sinitta will be updating her Wikipedia page as she previously revealed she has to change her age on the information page because people keep changing it.
She shared: "I look myself up on Wikipedia, usually just to see my age. It's an ongoing battle, because someone keeps on changing it. So we have to log on again and change it almost every day."

Abbey Clancy: I’m such a harsh judge!


Abbey Clancy is a much harsher judge than she thought she'd be on 'Britain's Next Top Model'.
The 29-year-old star competed on the second cycle of the programme and has since enjoyed a successful modelling and fashion designing career.
The next series of the show sees Abbey judge alongside Hilary Alexander, Paul Sculfor and Nicky Johnston, but the mother-of-two was surprised by her own brutal judging style.
She told Britain's InStyle magazine: "I've actually been harsher than I thought I would be. The production team have been like, "Bloody hell, Abbey, we didn't think you were going to be so tough", but I have been.
"It's something that's really close to my heart because it's where I started, and I want them [the contestants] to take it seriously. I'm just trying to drum into them that this is a massive opportunity."
Abbey is married to Premiership footballer Peter Crouch, but insists she loves her career and wouldn't enjoy being a stay at home mother to their two daughters.
She continued: "The fact is, I don't have to work. Pete earns enough for the two of us. But I like to work. I like to contribute and get involved. I'd be bored to death [not working]. I'd hate it!
"Everyone I know works. I like earning money, I like being independent and I like the fact I can provide for my family and brothers and sisters and mum. That's what I work for. That gives me the greatest pleasure."
'Britain's Next Top Model' premieres on Lifetime on 14 January at 9pm.

Corrie Sally to turn to politics


Coronation Street's Sally Metcalfe will turn to politics next year.
The soap stalwart, who is played by Sally Dynevor, is going to try to make her mark on the political scene in Weatherfield and even has some backing from the locals.
Actress Sally said: "There's no sign of Sally's ambition waning - she's going to be taking on local politics in 2016."
While the comical character's husband Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) doesn't lend her much support on the political trail, she does manage to rally around the locals to get some serious backing.
Joe said: "Tim's not interested in any of that at all, of course, although Sally would quite like him to be her Denis Thatcher."
Sally added to Inside Soap magazine: "He's not bothered at all. He just stands behind her, raising his eyebrows. But it's a great storyline - we've already started filming it and it has been really fun.
"Sally has Ken, Norris and Mary all on board with her - so I reckon she's going to do quite well."


Bill Bailey’s Hawaiian Christmas


Bill Bailey enjoyed an Hawaiian-themed Christmas in 2014.
The British comedian opted to have a themed big day last year - but has revealed it nearly turned into a disaster.
He explained: "We decided to have a themed Christmas. We went for a Hawaiian theme. We had the whole works. We had Hawaiian shirts, the garlands, glassware."
Asked how the big day unfolded, Bill said: "It was nearly disastrous because some friends came round and they brought a trifle. They left it outside because it was hard to carry and said: 'Oh Bill, there's a trifle outside in a big glass bowl.' So I picked this trifle up and just then one of the dogs got out and ran through to next door's garden.
"So I thought if I can get round to the front garden and lock the gate I'll be able to shut him in, 'cos otherwise he'll run off. And I thought I really don't want to spend this day chasing a flipping dog around, particularly as I was dressed in full Hawaiian gear.
"So I ran, stupidly - that's my Christmas message: don't run with a trifle - and I caught my toe on a bit of raised kerb and I launched myself horizontally into the air, holding the trifle aloft like some kind of totem, and it smashed down in the flowerbed, earth went in my nose, my hand started bleeding, the trifle was ruined, the dog ran off and all the guests came out and waited a polite amount of time then collapsed in laughter."
