Jorgie Porter teases skimpy bikinis for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here


Jorgie Porter has promised her bikinis will get skimpier the longer she stays on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
The 'Hollyoaks' actress recently jetted to Australia to take part in the upcoming series of the reality show and has urged the public not to vote her off too soon or they won't get to see her show off her curvy figure around camp.
She said: "I'm only allowed three bikinis - they get skimpier hopefully the more time I spend in the jungle."
However, the 27-year-old beauty claimed she hasn't had much time to work on her bikini body because she only recently found out she was doing the show and has been on holiday in Los Angeles.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I haven't been preparing my jungle body, I've been too busy eating burgers. I didn't know I was going to do the show until two days ago."
Despite her plans to tease the male celebrities with her skimpy outfits, Jorgie - who says she's "kind of single" - won't be embarking on a romance with any of her fellow contestants.
She added: "I wouldn't consider a fumble in the jungle as I don't think my mum would be impressed."
'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! starts this Sunday November 15 at 9pm.

Jeremy Vine uses Strictly Come Dancing to inspire daughters


Jeremy Vine doesn't mind being criticised on 'Strictly Come Dancing' because it teaches his daughters they don't have to be perfect.
The BBC Radio 2 DJ has received a number of harsh comments from the judges - Craig Revel Horwood, Bruno Tonioli, Darcey Bussell and Len Goodman - during his time on the show but is yet to be sent home by the public and he believes his positive attitude has been the perfect example for his two young daughters.
He explained: "Our target needn't just be life's 'Strictly' glitterball trophies. You can enjoy yourself, as I truly have on my dancing journey, even if you aren't the best of the bunch. It's a message I want to portray to my daughters - and it's one that still struggles to get through to our youngsters today."
The 50-year-old presenter confessed that while he knows he's not the best dancer, he still works as hard, if not harder, than the other celebrities.
Jeremy also admitted he was worried about how his daughters Martha, 11, and Anna, eight, would react to the judges' comments but was shocked by how well they dealt with them.
He added: "My humiliation at the hands of Len, Craig, Bruno and Darcey has been worth it, just for that: to know that my daughters can see that it's not just victory that counts.
"So my message to my girls is: 'Accept yourself.' It could be that all the work in the world doesn't get you into life's 'Strictly' finals. But that doesn't mean you have failed.
"The hardest times I have had in my life have been caused by blaming myself for not doing enough, or doing the wrong thing, or making a mistake."

The X Factor: Nick Grimshaw defends his decision


Nick Grimshaw insists there's "no way" he could've chosen between Mason Noise and Sean Miley Moore on 'The X Factor'.
The BBC Radio 1 DJ has defended his decision to take the judges' vote to deadlock on last night's (08.11.15) show after the two acts from his Boys category found themselves in the sing-off.
Nick wrote on Twitter: That was really tough tonight - there was NO WAY I would choose between any boys, they are my friends and I chose to let the public decide (sic)."
Nick's fellow judges Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini had voted to send Mason home while Rita had opted to save him.
And although the 31-year-old presenter could've saved Sean by sending Mason home, he instead decided to let the decision go to the public vote which resulted in Sean leaving the competition.
Nick added: "Sean is SUCH a star, so shocked he's gone. but he's leaving with his head high, every performance was 100% and that's what matters."
Meanwhile, Sean has insisted he's not mad at his mentor for sealing his fate.
He told ITV's 'Good Morning Britain': "How can he choose between his children? That's how the game is, he couldn't do that as us boys, we were the bad boys, we were a group, a unit. Nick has been hands on with all of us. He is fabulous, wonderful to work with, so he couldn't. It's like 'Sophie's Choice', he can't make that decision."


Carol Vorderman is quitting television


Carol Vorderman is quitting TV.
The 54-year-old presenter is giving up her lucrative TV career to concentrate on her dream to fly solo around the world.
She said: "I have been doing this for 30 years. It no longer holds the same thrill. I am at an age where I want to do other things. I am 55 in December. I don't want to end up in a studio for six weeks at a time, bashing out 150 new quiz shows. I did 5,000 of them."
Carol is planning to fly around the world "via Germany, across the Middle East to India and Thailand and then Russia, Alaska and American before crossing the Atlantic via Greenland and Iceland".
She has reconciled with her partner, former Red Arrows pilot Graham Duff, who has been helping her to prepare for her solo flight.
She said: "He's quite gentle really."
Carol also revealed that part of the reason she is stepping back from TV is to spend more time with her family.
The former 'Countdown' star told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "I want much more time with my two kids now and my mum, who is 87. I am a carer. I have three dependents.
"Mum had her third cancer this year, a huge malignant melanoma on the top of her head, so she's got this massive skin graft."

Chris Evans blasts Simon Cowell


Chris Evans has blasted Simon Cowell as "weird and nervous".
The 'Top Gear' presenter took to Twitter to praise his friend Nick Grimshaw on 'The X Factor' but slammed his co-star Simon.
Chris wrote: "Haven't seen X factor forever. Have to say, after a brief glimpse, Grimmy looks like the new man in the know and Simon looks weird & nervous (sic)."
Chris was reported to be upset with Simon for poaching Nick for 'X Factor' when he wanted him to host some episodes of the relaunched 'TFI Friday'.
Nick previously said: "He just mentioned it to me and asked me if I wanted to do it and I would but I think he makes the show and that's why it's good.
"But I love him and I want to go on it every week. It's so silly, it's what made me want to do TV."
Meanwhile, Sunday's (08.11.15) episode of 'The X Factor' was tough for Nick as he saw two of his acts, Seann Miley Moore and Mason Noise, battle it out in the sing-off.
Nick took it to deadlock letting the public vote to decide who would survive another week on the talent show as he couldn't choose between the two.
After Seann was voted off, he said: "It's been an incredible journey but the show must go on."
And Nick added whilst close to tears: "I can't believe they were both in the bottom two tonight and I can't believe Seann's going. I just can't believe it."

Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes look after themselves


Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes think looking after themselves is key to making their marriage work.
The couple - who host 'This Morning' together on Fridays - knew working so closely on 'How The Other Half Lives' would put a strain on their marriage, so ensured their evenings were kept free of exercise and allowed them time for themselves instead.
Ruth said: "All marriages come under strain when everything else in your life is so manic.
"We had to look ahead and say, 'Right, let's make sure it doesn't affect us.' "
Eamonn added: "We approached it in quite a business-like way. The only way our marriage will survive is if we look after ourselves and don't work in the evenings.
"I cycle and go to Pilates three times a week now at my local health club. It's amusing, as the women there pull my leg. But it makes me physically and mentally stronger."
The couple have a 13-year-old son, Jack, together, and Ruth admits she is the tougher parent because she sees it as her "duty" to raise him to be self-sufficient.
She told Closer magazine: "I'm the disciplinarian, the one who says to Jack, 'Put your shoes away, hang up your blazer, tidy up.'
"I think it's my duty as a mother to raise a man who isn't relying on women to clean up after him - there are far too many of those."

Nick Grimshaw is an ‘amazing’ mentor


Nick Grimshaw is an "amazing" mentor.
The BBC Radio 1 DJ is very hands-on with his 'X Factor' contestants and one of the hopefuls in his Boys category, Sean Miley Moore, is thrilled to be working with him.
He said: "Nick has been amazing. He's a very hands-on mentor, which is fabulous.
"We're constantly bouncing ideas off each other for songs, outfits and staging.
"I've been sending him costume ideas. I'm like, 'Do you like this?' and he's like, 'Yes, yes, yes.' It's really collaborative and that's what I wanted."
All of Sean's costumes will include his favourite high-heeled shoes as he doesn't feel as powerful or sexy without them.
He said: "The higher the heels, the closer to God.
"I feel a sense of power and sexiness in them. When I take them off to sleep I'm like, ugh."
The flamboyant star also admits he feels a "crazy responsibility" to young people who admire his confident attitude.
He told OK! magazine: "I'd say I'm really comfortable in my own skin and true to myself.
"I have doubts about myself, as everyone does.
"On social media I have young kids saying, You're so free in your own skin and thank you for being that voice.' It's a crazy responsibility."

Seann Miley Moore and Kiera Weathers voted off X Factor


Seann Miley Moore and Kiera Weathers have been voted off the 'X Factor'.
The 24-year-old singer - who hails from Australia - was the fourth contestant to be booted out of the competition after Kiera was knocked out earlier in the show.
Referencing his first audition where he wowed judges with the Queen classic, he said: "It's been an incredible journey but the show must go on."
Whilst his mentor Nick Grimshaw added whilst close to tears: "I can't believe they were both in the bottom two tonight and I can't believe Seann's going. I just can't believe it."
The double eviction also saw Kiera leave the competition but judge Rita Ora insists she has a big future ahead of her.
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' singer said: "I'm just so proud of everything she's done to this point. Taking people's constructive criticism and turning it round for the best and always, always having a smile on her face. This is not the last time you'll see Kiera."
Speaking after her exit, Kiera added: "I came back [from last week's sing off] and I'm happy with that. I've been myself. I've had a great time."
During tonight's (07.09.15) sing-off, Seann and Mason Noise - both from the boys category - battled it out to stay in the competition. But with Nick taking it to deadlock, it was down to the public vote to decide who would survive another week on the talent show.

Carol Kirkwood voted off Strictly Come Dancing


Carol Kirkwood has been voted off 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The BBC weather presenter's American Smooth to Shania Twain's 'Man I Feel Like A Woman' failed to impress in the dance off against fellow contestant Kellie Bright and her partner Kevin Clifton's waltz.
Speaking after her exit, Carol said: "It has just been the most wonderful experience ever; I will never forget this for as long as I live.
"And it's a huge thank you from everybody to the runners to make up to hair to the judges for all your encouragement. The contestants, the crew. And Pasha, he's just wonderful - he's got the patience of a saint. A gentleman and a gentle man so thank you."
In last night's (07.11.15) show, judge Bruno Tonoili slammed Carol's dance, telling her: "You're consistent Carol; I love you because you're consistent. You're weatherproof, pretty-proof and dance-proof. You're like Teflon nothing sticks, it just keeps sliding away."
Whilst fellow judge Darcey Bussell was much nicer, insisting Carol was making a "great improvement".
She told the television presenter: "Without fail I can see the confidence and intensity and the energy you're putting into the dance. That is such a relief. You have to come out there and sell it and that's what you did - there's a great improvement there. A great improvement."
