Jamie Laing wishes he could axe Jess Woodley from Made in Chelsea


Jamie Laing wishes he could've got Jess Woodley axed from 'Made in Chelsea'.
The 26-year-old star had his heartbroken by the blonde beauty when she called time on their blossoming relationship in last night's (26.10.15) episode of the E4 show and Jamie's confessed it would've made his life easier if he could've had her fired.
He said: "At the time, I was sad because I really liked her and I thought we were good together but I guess some things just don't work out.
"It really sucked filming with her afterwards. I don't have the power to [get her fired from 'MIC'] but I wish I did!"
Jamie revealed he's now focusing on trying to move on but insisted his fame makes it hard to meet women he could realistically have a relationship with.
He told Mirror Celebs: "Exercise, keeping yourself busy and keeping yourself entertained are the best ways to get over a break-up. Finding someone new helps as well!
"Unfortunately finding someone else isn't that easy because of the show. People think it is but it isn't. If it was, I would be in love right now, wouldn't I?"

Derren Brown develops psychological theme park ride


Derren Brown has developed a psychological ride for Thorpe Park.
The illusionist has created the world's first fully immersive psychological attraction for a theme park, which will open in March 2016 after three years in development.
The attraction - which will involve a 13-minute long journey - will encompass 2,306 square metres and involve a team of over 1,000 specialists to help put it together.
Derren said: "The process of creating this new experience has been the most challenging of my career - so much so that it has taken us three years to get the project on track. Now we are actually in production, excitement is mounting and we are making the final tweaks to an idea I have wanted to release for some time.
"As always, you can look forward to a heady mix of magic, suggestion, psychology, misdirection and showmanship. We are keeping the full details under wraps but I can say that the attraction will take you on a journey like no other, an attraction where no one will have quite the same experience and where the guests will be unable to make the distinction between what is real or imagined!'
"This opportunity with Thorpe Park Resort has enabled me to create a unique Derren Brown experience, for many to enjoy. It takes everything I love from Victoriana to mystery and illusion and wraps it up into a mind blowing journey."
Mike Vallis, Divisional Director of Thorpe Park said: "The creative concept comes entirely from Derren and we have spent the best part of three years working closely with him to bring his unique vision to life.
"This is our biggest investment to date and over 1,000 members of our creative team and external specialists will be working on the ground to bring the new experience to life."

Peter Andre doesn’t ‘wear pants’ on Strictly Come Dancing


Peter Andre doesn't "wear pants" underneath his 'Strictly Come Dancing' outfits.
The 'Mysterious Girl' hitmaker has revealed the way his costumes for the dance contest are made mean he's unable to wear any underwear so he's been going commando on the dance floor.
He explained: "I don't wear pants when I'm dancing. The shirts are held in place with poppers, a bit like a leotard. If you wear boxer shorts with them, it's uncomfortable - so I take them off."
The 42-year-old star has so far avoided suffering any wardrobe malfunctions live on air but has confessed he's not been so lucky backstage.
Peter told Woman and Home magazine: "It's certainly caused a few embarrassing moments in the dressing room."
Meanwhile, 'EastEnders' actress Kellie Bright has also been struggling with her elaborate outfits.
She laughed: "Learning to go to the toilet once I'd been sew into my sequins!
"There's a whole technique you have to master - it's hilarious."
And while Anita Rani was initially nervous about wearing skimpy dresses on the show she's now admitted she's getting used to "exposing" herself.

Caroline Flack warned Prince Harry and Harry Styles about memoir


Caroline Flack warned Harry Styles and Prince Harry that she was planning to discuss them in her autobiography.
The 'X Factor' host opened up about her brief relationship with the One Direction hunk - who is 14 years her junior - and revealed she had previously been "seeing" the royal in her memoir 'Storm in a C Cup' but insisted everyone discussed in the book knew they would be included.
Speaking on ITV's 'This Morning', she said: "I contacted everybody. What did they say? That's between me and them - but I would never put anything in a book that someone didn't want in there, because that is their life, these are my feelings.
"I don't really talk about the relationships as such. I do make a point in the book that I don't talk about Prince Harry - it's just not my place to talk about someone else - I don't think you can talk about how someone else feels, or what someone else does... this is all about how I felt and my emotions.
"I had to talk of the effect it caused, that's what I talk about. It was so intrusive. It was people standing outside my dad's house, my mum's house, my brother's house, my sister's house, my nan's house... and literally just going for my family. It's important to talk about stuff like that because that's not normal! This is my story and you can't leave these things out."
Caroline writes in the book about Prince Harry that "once the story got out, that was it. We had to stop seeing each other. I was no longer Caroline Flack, TV presenter, I was Caroline Flack, Prince Harry's bit of rough".
However, in the interview, she said: "It wasn't really a relationship" and later added: "I have never said I had a relationship with him."

X Factor to have wildcards?


Simon Cowell has hinted axed 'X Factor' contestants may return to the show.
The music mogul is a big fan of the format, which sees them bring some of the evicted hopefuls back to the show, fuelling speculation it is not yet the end of the road for some of this year's contestants.
Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, he said: "Would I like to bring back the Wild Card this series? I would do it in a heartbeat.
"But it's not my decision. Well, it's not just my decision. I have influence over what we do but it's more complicated than you may think. We have to run ideas past a lot of people!"
However, the 56-year-old judge was less keen on the live element of the judges' houses round, admitting it was "hell".
He shared: "It was hell. For the first time, I know what it feels like to be a contestant. At that stage listening to people boo you."
But Simon is pleased the new format allowed him to avoid any chances of regretting his decisions ahead of the live shows.
He told Digital Spy: "It was Jennifer that was going to take Max's place, but 100% Max should have had it. I felt it in the room. If I was watching it back, that's who I would have gone with. He got me at Judges' Houses and that's what Judges' Houses was all about.
"I'm 100% fine with my decision. This is the first time I've made a decision on Judges' Houses watching it back as a member of the public. Normally I make it watching it back and I regret my decisions, so this was easier in a way. But we start again next week and they've got a point to prove so we'll see if we've made the right decisions or the wrong decisions."

Natasha Hamilton and Ritchie Neville engaged


Natasha Hamilton has got engaged to Ritchie Neville.
The Atomic Kitten singer took to her Twitter account this morning (26.10.15) to announce her engagement to the 5ive star, with whom she has 13-month-old daughter Ella.
She wrote: "So.....our news is now out! @RitchieNeville asked me to Marry Him read all about it in this week's @OK_Magazine X (sic)."
Ritchie proposed to Natasha - who also has sons Harry, Josh and Alfie from previous relationships - in Rome's Villa Borghese Gardens and has confessed that despite having every detail planned out, his nerves still got the better of him.
He said: "I knew I was about to do it and then all of a sudden I started shaking and adrenaline was rushing through my body."
And the 33-year-old star was delighted with the ring he presented her with.
She told OK! magazine: "It's beautiful. He couldn't have picked a more perfect ring ... We were sobbing as I said yes!"
Following Ritchie's proposal, the couple then dined at Michelin-starred restaurant La Pergola and were the last people left at the ened of the night when they slow danced to Frank Sinatra on the roof terrace.
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star added: "It was so romantic and it couldn't have been more perfect. I felt overwhelmed and like I was in a movie."
Natasha and Ritchie began dating in 2013 after meeting on 'The Big Reunion' in 2013.


Coronation Street’s Ryan Thomas arrested after pub fight


'Coronation Street' actor Ryan Thomas was arrested after allegedly getting into a fight in a pub toilet.
The 31-year-old star - who plays builder Jason Grimshaw - was enjoying a weekend away in the Lake District when he reportedly got involved in a booze-fuelled row at the Wheelhouse Club and Lounge in Bowness-on-Windermere, resulting in police being called to the venue at 1.09 am on Sunday (25.10.15).
A source revealed: "He was there with four or five mates but it all kicked off in the loos.
"It took at least ten minutes to get him outside as he was kicking off. Suddenly about five or six police vans turned up. Cops round here don't mess about when someone can't handle their drink.
"Outside it kicked off again. He was put in the back of a van as his mates mouthed off at bouncers. It was a really big scene."
What began as a quiet hiking trip soon turned into a bad hangover for Ryan - who was "acting like the big man" according to witnesses at the pub - as he was taken ten miles to Kendal police station where he spent the night before being ordered to pay a £90 fine for being drunk and disorderly.
A spokesperson for Cumbria Police told The Sun newspaper: "Officers arrested a 31-year-old man on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly."
Ryan was spotted driving back home to Manchester yesterday (25.10.15) ahead of his daughter Scarlett's seventh birthday today (26.10.15).
Ryan - who split from Scarlett's mum Tina O'Brien in 2009 - previously claimed becoming a father had changed him but confessed things could still get out of hand after a couple of pints.
He said: "Being a dad has given me a sense of responsibility. It's the wake-up call I needed ... Having said that, if you saw me on a night out you might not think that."

The X Factor’s Max Stone: I was ‘lost’ and self harmed


'The X Factor's Max Stone was "lost" and "cut" his arms as a teenager.
The 27-year-old musician was brutally criticised by show boss Simon Cowell for being "half dead" but explained he was forced to "tone down" his personality after being bullied during his formative years and has confessed he battled with drug addiction.
Max - who was put through to the live shows by Simon on the weekend - shared: "I was picked on for years and so I learned how to tone down my personality. I started to hang with the wrong friends. There was a time in my teens where I cut my arms. When I was 14 in Devon, there was nothing to do but smoke weed.
He added: "I lost myself completely. I got to the point where I thought there was no hope. Music has been the biggest help."
Max went on to describe the tragic demise and death of his close friend Harry, who failed to recover from drug addiction.
He recalled: "He lost his mind when he was 17. Three years ago he died of a heart attack."
Meanwhile, the singer credited his long-term partner Eleanor for helping him turn his life around but revealed she's worried he'll "change" after appearing on the talent show.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "'X Factor' has been a really challenging experience. Being away is hard. Harder for her. She isn't sure what I'm doing, she doesn't know the plan. She is definitely worried I'm going to change.
"Going through will put a lot of strain on Eleanor and I. We have talked about this in the past few weeks. We'd had a lot of troubles but I've reassured Eleanor that I don't intend to change."

Donal MacIntyre’s wife wants showdown with ‘other woman’


Donal MacIntyre's wife wants to "have it out" with the woman she has accused him of cheating on her with.
Ameera MacIntyre - who has been married to the investigative journalist since 2006 - slammed her husband and accused him of being unfaithful to her in an angry post on her Facebook page and has now told him she wants to meet with the unnamed woman.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "She wanted to meet the woman with Donal to see how they would behave together in front of her. She considered a split and selling the house. But she still loves Donal and wants the marriage to work."
According to the insider, the situation is even more devastating because Ameera - who has a three-year-old son and two daughters, aged eight and 13 with Donal - knows the woman involved.
The source added: "This really got to Ameera. She had known this woman."
Ameera revealed she was devastated to find racy messages between Donal and the woman on his phone.
She told the Mail On Sunday newspaper: "I found the most disgusting messages on his WhatsApp [a social media messaging app].
"They were so sexually explicit that I consider them hardcore pornography.
"I could hardly believe the words had been written by him. It felt as if the ground was collapsing around me."
Donal has insisted his relationship with the woman is purely platonic and Ameera admitted she regrets lashing out on social media.
She said: "It's the curse of sharing on social media. 'I was just so angry that I lashed out. I wasn't thinking.
"But now that it's out there, I just want Donal to tell the truth."
