Gary ‘Gaz’ Beadle splits from girlfriend


Gary 'Gaz' Beadle has split from his girlfriend.
The 'Geordie Shore' star has confirmed he and his girlfriend of over a year, Lillie Lexi Gregg have decided to call time on their relationship.
He wrote on Twitter: "Single again... Want to wish Lillie all the best for the future.. Was an amazing year.. (sic)"
A representative for the star added: "Gary says he has the ultimate respect for Lillie but the challenges of his career and associated travel are not conducive with having a relationship. There is no third party involved."
The news comes after the 27-year-old hunk - who claims to have slept with more than 1,000 women - admitted he put himself on a six-week sex ban while filming the 11th series of the MTV reality show in Greece this summer.
It is not yet known whether the break-up was mutual but just four days ago Lillie wrote on Instagram that she was looking forward to spending some time with her man over the Christmas holidays.
She captioned a snap of her and Gaz: "So tired today and really missing my @gazgshore can't wait for some chill time in December (sic)."
Gary's relationship with Lillie has not been without its dramas as his co-star and former flame Charlotte Crosby previously claimed she was still sleeping with him when they first got together.
And in last week's episode of 'Geordie Shore' Gaz confessed he'd always fancied her the most out of all of his female co-stars while tonight's (24.11.15) episode will see him remove himself from the situation when Charlotte and co-star Chloe Ferry strip off and start kissing in his bed.
Meanwhile, it's been rumoured Gaz is set to take 'Made in Chelsea' star Spencer Matthew's place in the 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' jungle after he was kicked out for taking steroids.

Kristina Rihanoff for Celebrity Big Brother?


Kristina Rihanoff is reportedly being lined up for 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' professional is said to be quitting the BBC show at the end of this series to go on the reality show.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "She hasn't told bosses at Strictly she's going, but there is next to no chance that they will have her back when they hear she's signed up for CBB."
Meanwhile, it is thought the 38-year-old dancer will open up about her relationship with Ben Cohen when she appears in the House.
Speaking about the rugby ace, she said previously: "We are in a committed relationship, and of course, part of that involves love.
"We're constantly together - either at my place or his. We're still very new so there's much more left to grow hopefully. It's a work in progress."
Kristina also claims she was verbally attacked by online trolls when it was revealed she was dating Ben.
She added: "It was deeply upsetting and for a while I was in a dark place. Ben's said it many times and I'll say it again - I wasn't involved in the breaking up of his marriage.
"Lots of relationships start because you're attracted to someone. It's all happy fireworks and then the core dissolves and it fizzles out. But we have a strong core. He doesn't see me as a dancer kicking my legs on 'Strictly Come Dancing', he sees the real me."

Ant and Dec want I’m a Celeb best of


Ant and Dec want an all-star version of 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' with their favourite-ever contestants.
The presenting duo think it would be great to mark a milestone in the show's history by bringing back some of the biggest characters from the previous series.
Asked if there will ever be an all-star version, Ant said: "You'd have to do it for a special occasion, maybe for the 20th year. And you'd want the best characters. The David Gests, the David Van Days, the Gillian McKeiths."
Dec added: "The heroes and villains."
This year is the 15th series of the tough contest and the pair hope to still be fronting the show in 10 years time.
Dec said: "We've done 15 series now and if we can get to 25, that would be amazing."
Ant added: "I've got nieces and nephews who weren't alive when the first series aired.
"They're now 11 or 12 and are just discovering it for the first time - and I'm really cool again. It's wicked."
Despite their years of experience, the Geordie duo still get nervous with live TV.
Ant told OK! magazine: "We get nervous. We were nervous before the first show of the series for sure. That always happens."

Louis Walsh: Olly Murs should stick to singing


Louis Walsh thinks Olly Murs should stick to singing.
The former 'X Factor' judge thinks the 'Kiss Me' hitmaker - who co-hosts the show alongside Caroline Flack - should quit presenting and get back into the recording studio following a number of awkward gaffes during the live shows.
Louis exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I loved Olly's mess up. But he made a mistake. He's a singer, he's not a TV presenter. He can just make records, he's a great artist. He works really hard."
Louis, 63 - who was axed from the singing competition and replaced by BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw earlier this year - is adamant no one will ever compare to former host Dermot O'Leary because he was so loved by viewers.
He explained: "Dermot was so safe, he was so professional and always had a nice tight suit."
However, the music manager had nothing but kind words for Dermot's replacement and Olly's co-host Caroline, as he believes she's great at her job, looks good and has a quirky personality.
He added: "I like Caroline. She's a tomboy. That's what I love about her."

Seann Miley Moore confirmed for The X Factor 2016 Live Tour


Sean Miley Moore has been chosen by 'The X Factor' judges to take the eighth spot on 'The X Factor 2016 Live Tour'.
The 24-year-old singer was booted off the ITV singing contest earlier this month but with a new rule this year that allowed judges Simon Cowell, Nick Grimshaw, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Rita Ora to pick who the final contestant to go on the live tour is, they all agreed on Sean.
Nick confirmed: "Sean really deserved his spot on the tour, myself and the other judges felt we lost him too early from the competition so it's brilliant he's been given this opportunity to go on the road with the other acts and perform in some of the UK's biggest arenas."
The Australian-born singer said it's a "dream come true" being allowed to perform.
He said: "I cannot believe that my 'X Factor' journey isn't over, I am so excited to be going on the tour and cannot believe I'll be performing on the same stages as some of my idols, it's like a dream come true."
Sean completes the line-up, which also includes contestants Anton Stephans, 4th Impact, Reggie 'N' Bollie, Louisa Johnson, Lauren Murray, Che Chesterman and Mason Noise.

Caroline Flack hits back after weight jibes


Caroline Flack has slammed Twitter trolls for writing "vile comments" about her weight.
The 'X Factor' presenter took to her account on the social media site after last night's (22.11.15) episode of the singing competition to hit back at users who had criticised her appearance.
She wrote: "It's very easy to take a shot at someone online. The vile comments about my weight and just all round look tonight are quite shocking ....
"... Have never said I'm the prettiest or thinnest or even anything special... But thank god I'm not horrible... Cool attitudes (sic)."
The 36-year-old beauty's comments come after her 'X Factor' colleague Cheryl Fernandez-Versini was branded "too thin" by 'The Apprentice' star Lord Alan Sugar.
He wrote on Twitter: "catching up on X-factor. Cheryl is now too thin. (sic)"
And although the 'Call My Name' singer is yet to reply to the cruel jibe, she has previously spoken out against body shaming.
She said: "I am so sick and tired of it being OK to call somebody too thing or a 'bag of bones'.
"I would never dream of calling somebody too fat and that they should maybe cut down on their food intake? What is the difference?"

Rylan Clark ‘forgot’ to organise wedding outifts


Rylan Clark "forgot" to organise his wedding outfit until two weeks before the big day.
The 27-year-old presenter has confessed he and his husband Dan Neal thought they had their nuptials planned down to the very last detail until they realised they'd neglected to pick out their outfits.
Rylan said: "We left our outfits right to the last minute. It was the one thing we forgot to do. This amazing company made our outfits in two weeks! I drew up what I wanted and they made it. I literally couldn't thank them enough."
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' winner tied the knot earlier this month and chose to keep his big day private.
However, he decided to share some photos of the ceremony on 'This Morning' today (23.11.15).
He explained: "We had the best day. Our family and friends were just amazing. And it was so nice that we managed to keep it as private as we did. We could have put these in a magazine but we thought, do you know what, we'll just come on here, it's like my second home, and half of our family ain't seen these yet! So I hope they're watching!"
As a photograph of Rylan and Dan in their wedding suits appeared on screen, Holly said: "You both look so handsome."
Among Rylan's guests at the ceremony were Katie Price, Steps singer Claire Richards and 'This Morning's Eamonn Holmes.


ITV signs three-year deal with The Voice


ITV has signed a three-year deal for 'The Voice'.
Following the news that the BBC had lost the show after five series, the last of which will air next year, ITV has now confirmed they've signed a three-year deal with production company Talpa Global for 'The Voice' as well as a three-season commitment for an ITV2 spin-off show and two series of 'The Voice Kids'.
ITV's director of television, Peter Fincham said: "ITV is the natural home of big entertainment so we are thrilled that 'The Voice' and 'The Voice Kids' are both joining our family alongside brilliant shows like 'The X Factor', 'Britain's Got Talent', 'Saturday Night Takeaway' and 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
'The Voice' has become a global hit since it first launched in Holland in 2010 and now has around 65 local versions airing in 180 countries while 'The Voice Kids' has almost 30 local adaptations.
ITV's director of entertainment and comedy, Elaine Bedell added: "From the compelling blind auditions, through to the nail biting battle rounds, knockouts and live shows, 'The Voice' has become a worldwide sensation and we are very much looking forward to its arrival on ITV in 2017."
Meanwhile, John de Mol - who created 'The Voice' and is founder of Talpa Global - has expressed his excitement at the news.
He shared: "We are delighted that 'The Voice' has found a new home at ITV. With the addition of 'The Voice Kids' we are excited about working with ITV in 2017 to develop and expand 'The Voice' experience for the UK audience after completing what we think will be a fantastic upcoming season on the BBC, who have been a great partner."

Doctor Who writer Sarah Dollard surprised to kill off Clara Oswald


'Doctor Who' writer Sarah Dollard was pleasantly surprised when she was told she would have the responsibility of killing off companion Clara Oswald in 'Face the Raven'.
Viewers were left shocked when Clara - played by Jenna Coleman - took her final breath in the episode that aired last Saturday (21.11.15) as she was killed by the Quantum Shade spirit leaving the Doctor angry and alone.
And that same feeling of shock washed over Sarah when she was informed by showrunner Steven Moffat he wanted Clara to die in the story she had constructed for her first ever 'Doctor Who' episode and that it would kick off the three-part finale.
In an interview with website Blogtor Who (blogtorwho.blogspot.co.uk), the Australian screenwriter - who has worked on 'Neighbours' and 'Merlin' - revealed: "I'd done a complete first draught (of my episode) and that was read by everybody. I came in for second draft meeting and sat there at the table and Steven said, 'Good news is, we really love it. We love it so much, we'd like to talk about putting at this point in the season where it can form the part of an arc.
"They told me about Ashildr (played by Maisie Williams), I was like, 'Awesome.' And then I spilt my water all over the table as we talked about Clara and at that point I don't think Steven knew for absolute certain exactly what he was going to do with her end. Certainly death was being talked about but he wasn't sure if it was going to be in (episode) ten or in twelve.
"So in that meeting it was decided I would be given the chance to write that script ... I think that was putting a lot trust in a writer they didn't completely know. It was still in a state of flux until they read what I'd done but they liked it so it was fine. I felt like, 'He's putting a lot of trust in me, so that's great!' "
Steven has also revealed Jenna was originally going to be written out of 'Doctor Who' in the 2014 Christmas special as she had told him she wanted to leave at the end of Series 8 but he and Peter Capaldi - who plays the titular Time Lord - convinced her to stay on for Series 9 this year.
He said: "I wrote her out of the end of Christmas but I wrote two endings ... At the read through we did the big heart-rending departure and she changed her mind ... Peter and I did perform every form of emotional manipulation known to people on the world tour, badly and ineptly I might add. I like to think in the sheer ineptitude of our apparent subterfuge we were charming."
Steven believes her death in 'Face the Raven' was the perfect exit for the 29-year-old actress, who had been the Doctor's fellow TARDIS traveller for four years.
He added: "It was the right way for her to go, in my view."
'Doctor Who' continues this Saturday (28.11.15) with 'Heaven Sent'.
