Donal MacIntyre’s wife brands him ‘lying, cheating scumbag’


Donal MacIntyre's wife has branded him a "lying, cheating scumbag".
Ameera MacIntyre - who has been married to the investigative journalist since 2006 - reportedly slammed her husband and accused him of being unfaithful to her in an angry post on her Facebook page.
According to The Sun newspaper, it reads: "Lying cheating scumbag. How could you ruin this family??? (sic)"
Ameera - who is a TV producer and agent - is said to have written the caption underneath a photo of Donal and their three children, Allegra, Hunter and Tiger-Lily.
A friend of Donal's wife is said to have commented on the post, writing: "I'm so sorry. How could someone do this? Is there no hope?"
Meanwhile, Donal's Twitter account has since been deleted, with Ameera confirming it no longer exists to one of his old friends.
A user named Ellie Monteith wrote: "Is "DonalMacIntyre OK?His twitter account has gone. He's an old friend of mine(Juliette Sutton) Hope he got my DM. Hope all ok (sic)."
Clearly not in the mood for small talk, Ameera simply replied saying: "Yes it's gone."
Ameera's outburst comes shortly after she praised her husband for his comments on marriage during an appearance on 'The Wright Stuff'.
She wrote on Twitter,: "@DonalMacIntyre @5WrightStuff great discussion on marriage vows/affairs really interesting #grassisnevergreener (sic)."

Claude Littner told he had six months to live


Claude Littner was told he had six months to live after being diagnosed with cancer.
The 'Apprentice' star has opened up about being told what he thought was a hernia was actually a rare form of blood cancer named Non-Hodgkin Lymphona after he'd had a row with Lord Alan Sugar.
Claude - who was chief executive at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club under Lord Sugar at the time - explained: "I am very lucky to be alive, you know. I thought I had a hernia but lots of players do, so I wasn't worried. Then one day I had an argument with Alan, which is very rare.
"We were trading insults so I took a day off and popped to the doctor to check it out. But he said it wasn't a hernia and packed me straight off to see a specialist. I was told I had six months to live.
"It came as a huge shock, obviously. You think, 'Well, that's it'. You start the treatment and just feel powerless."
However, the 66-year-old business expert - who has two children with his wife of nearly 40 years, Thelma - has now been clear for 15 years after his specialist decided to try a pioneering stem-cell transplant to help his body make healthy new blood.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I was only the 32nd person to have one, but first they had to find a donor whose tissues matched. I have one sister, Tina, but they said siblings aren't a guaranteed match. They tested her anyway and, by an absolute miracle, she was an excellent match. So my sister saved my life. She doesn't stop reminding me of that - but she really did"

Mason Noise to replace Tom Bleasby on The X Factor?


Mason Noise could be set to replace Tom Bleasby on 'The X Factor'.
The outspoken hopeful dropped his microphone and stormed off stage during the Six Chair Challenge following a row with Simon Cowell and although that saw him miss out on a place at Nick Grimshaw's Judges' Houses, he could now be set to return following 19-year-old Tom's decision to quit the show.
A source told Mirror Online: "It could be Mason, it could be Nathaniel ... It could be any one of them. No decision [has been] made on this yet. As it stands - they could go with Nick just having five boys or choose a replacement from the Six Chair Challenge."
Tom - who was originally snubbed by Nick Grimshaw before Rita Ora and the booing crowd persuaded him to give him a seat - announced that he'd decided not to go any further with the competition earlier this week.
He said: "Due to personal reasons I have decided to withdraw from 'The X Factor'. Thank you to all the judges, especially Nick for his belief in me.
"I want to wish all the contestants the best of luck and thank you to the public for supporting me and my dream."
Meanwhile, 'X Factor' bosses are reportedly convinced that Jessie J - who was previously a coach on rival show 'The Voice' - persuaded Tom to quit the show after they met up in Los Angeles last week to perform a duet on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It seems like a bit of a coincidence that Tom quits the show a few days after meeting with someone who openly hates X Factor."

Spencer Matthews set for I’m A Celeb?


Spencer Matthews has hinted he'll be taking part in 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' this series.
The 'Made in Chelsea' star has been rumoured to be entering the jungle later this year and thinks it would be "fun", admitting he previously had to turn down the show because of work commitments.
He told Star magazine: "They're just rumours, but it would be fun. I was asked a couple of years ago but it clashed with filming for 'MIC'.
"I would have done it. We'll have to see..."
If he does enter the jungle, Spencer could be joined by Anne Robinson.
The 'Weakest Link' host will reportedly be offered £750,000 to take part in the tough reality show after previously revealing she had been offered "about half a million" to travel to the Australian jungle but that she "just wouldn't do" it.
However, producers are so desperate to persuade her to take part that they're planning to add an extra quarter of a million pounds on to their previous offer.
If the deal goes ahead, the former 'Weakest Link' host would become I'm A Celeb's most expensive celebrity yet, as the most they've paid in the past was reportedly £500,000 on tennis champion Martina Navratilova.
Meanwhile, 'Dragon's Den' investor Duncan Bannatyne has signed up to the show and other stars linked to a stint in the jungle this year include former 'Geordie Shore' loudmouth Vicky Pattison and 'X Factor' veteran Louis Walsh, who is said to have turned down a £500,000 offer.

Pregnant Sam Faiers considering home birth


Sam Faiers is thinking of having a home birth.
The former 'Only Way is Essex' star is expecting her first child with partner Paul Knightley but she hasn't yet come up with a birthing plan, though she wants things to be as "natural" as possible.
She told OK! magazine: "We're going to a hospital where you can have the option of a water birth, they have pools in the room.
"But we might even do a water birth at home, I'm not sure.
"At the moment I'm still thinking hospital and I'd still like it to be as natural as possible."
Sam has noticed her figure changing shape and admits she isn't being particularly strict with her diet, though she is still trying to eat healthily.
She said: "Most of the weight has gone to my tummy area but I do notice it on the back of my arms - that's my stubborn area.
"I've not been strict with myself, I've just been eating healthy and maxing it p with the desserts I fancy."
And Paul is a huge fan of his girlfriend's changing body.
He said: "I like it. It's very nice to see. There's something I find very attractive about pregnant women."

Nadiya Hussain: My kids had to lie about Bake Off win


Nadiya Hussain trained her kids to be "compulsive liars" in order to keep her 'Great British Bake Off' win secret.
The 30-year-old cook from Leeds and her husband Abdal had to tell their three young children, all aged under 10, not to spill the beans on their mother's victory on the BBC One TV show until it aired and she's worried that they will continue to be economical with the truth.
In an interview on 'This Morning', she quipped: "I have created some compulsive liars! Now I'm having to train them and say, 'We don't lie any more.' So we're kind of working on that one now."
Nadiya had to take even more drastic measures to keep her 'GBBO' success under wraps.
She explained: "We were in the process of selling our house as well, so we had people coming in and out of the house, so what we did, we wrapped the trophy in newspapers and did the Russian Doll thing with suitcases! So it was inside five suitcases under my bed so that nobody saw it!"
During her appearance on the ITV daytime show on Tuesday (13.10.15), Nadiya was reunited with her old school teacher Jean Marshall who she had cited as being the main person to inspire her desert cooking.
Turning to Jean to give her a hug, Nadiya - whose parents are Bangladeshi - gushed: "This is bizarre, but this is fantastic ... it was you that planted that seed and said, 'You know what, you're actually really good at this.' And the only time I baked was with Mrs. Marshall at school, I never did it at home ... We never baked in our family, dessert isn't something that we ever had, and not something that's common in our culture so we never had desserts. It was only when I did food studies for GCSEs that I started baking ... and the whole process, I just got hooked. And during lunch breaks, rather than having my lunch in the lunch hall, I used to go in and watch her prepare for her class."

Ola and James Jordan celebrate anniversary with drinking challenge


'Strictly Come Dancing' star Ola Jordan and her husband James Jordan celebrated their twelfth wedding anniversary by taking part in a "12 shot" drinking challenge.
The 33-year-old dancer and her 37-year-old hunky husband - who tied the knot in 2003 - marked the special occasion by agreeing to participate in their annual boozy challenge, which involves drinking a shot for every year they have been married.
In a post on his Twitter account on Monday evening (12.10.15), James revealed the pair's plans: "Last night before dinner and the 12 shot Anniversary Challenge #anniversary #olajordan #love #wife (sic)"
Following the couple's exploits, James - who starred on 'Strictly Come Dancing' between 2006 and 2013 - went on Twitter on Tuesday (13.10.15) to tweet: "I'm dying. (note to self) when we've been married for 30 years, do not take part in Anniversary shot challenge. (sic)"
Ola also revealed the drinking game had discouraged her from ever drinking shots again and she tweeted a picture of a bottle of water, captioning it: "This is my best friend today."
Before their overindulgence, James paid a cheeky tribute to his gorgeous wife, who he has been dancing alongside since 2000.
He tweeted: "HAPPY 12th ANNIVERSARY to the beautiful @The_OlaJordan I still wake up everyday and can't quite believe how lucky you are to be with me ... And one more thing @The_OlaJordan I LOVE YOU!!!! (sic)"
Meanwhile, Ola posted a throwback picture of the couple on their wedding day to her Instagram account, writing: "12 years today I have been married to this wonderful man. He is quite simply the best husband I could ever have. (sic)"

Caroline Flack has "broken" her arm.
The 'X Factor' co-host revealed her injured limb via her Instagram account, posting a photo of a huge misshapen lump on her right arm.
The accompanying caption read: "Shout out my broken arm . NO JOKE (sic)"
The 35-year-old TV babe also revealed her break on Twitter and her presenter-and-actor friend Joe Swash was stunned by the nature of her injury.
Joe tweeted: "What the f**k is up with your arm flack???? (sic)"
The brunette beauty has been inundated with get well messages from her online fans.
One of Caroline's Twitter followers insisted he would pray for her arm to heal, writing: "@carolineflack1 OUCH!!! A nasty injury!!! I pray for God's divine healing & total restoration of your arm; in Jesus Name, Amen. (sic)"
Another member of the social media site tweeted to her: "Aw carol get well soon and eat more pies ahahaha x (sic)"

Jorgie Porter’s dating Craig from First Dates


Jorgie Porter is dating the man she met on 'Celebrity First Dates'.
The 'Hollyoaks' actress was matched with 31-year-old personal trainer Craig on the special episode of the show, which was part of Channel 4's Stand Up to Cancer week of programming, and the pair hit it off immediately.
Jorgie, 27, opened up to Craig about her father leaving her family when she was just a young girl and admitted it's made her afraid of commitment.
She said: "I probably think that actually men will just always disappear so maybe I don't get too attached because in the end they'll just go anyway."
The pair were in fits of laughter throughout their date and Jorgie couldn't hide how excited she was to find someone she actually got along with.
She gushed: "It really is important to have fun on a date. I don't think I stopped laughing actually. Am I too keen though? This is keen."
However, the pair made it to a second meeting and Jorgie is said to have taken her new beau as her date to a recent awards ceremony.
Other stars to find love on the show included Alexandra Burke, who got a second date with model Louis, and 'Made in Chelsea's' Jamie Laing who was paired with ballet dancer Sophie.
