Abbey Clancy blasts women who chase sports stars


Abbey Clancy thinks women who sleep with soccer stars to boost their profile and their bank balance are "stupid".
The 29-year-old beauty - who married English soccer player Peter Crouch in 2011 - has blasted women who bed players for the purpose of making money from their stories.
She said: "It bothers me when you see all them stupid girls sleeping with footballers then selling their stories the next day."
What's more, Abbey said that despite being married to a professional soccer player, she has no interest in the sport.
Abbey told Women's Health magazine: "That's the opposite end of the scale from my life. I hate football. I've got zero interest.
"We met as people. Fell in love. Pete's the kindest, funniest person ever.
"And I think I'm normal. Nothing in my life has changed morally.
"I can just afford more expensive shoes than I could when I was growing up."
Meanwhile, it was recently announced that Abbey will be the head judge on the new series of 'Britain's Next Top Model', meaning she'll be returning to the show that launched her modelling career in 2006.
She said: "'Britain's Next Top Model' is a show very close to my heart as it's where I started my career so I am thrilled to be returning as head judge.
"We have an incredible team working on this series and I can't wait to bring my own spin to the show. Lifetime viewers should expect more drama and style than ever before, and the girls better be ready to bring their A game!"

Georgia May Foote ‘hungry all the time’


Georgia May Foote is "hungry all the time" because of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 'Coronation Street' actress admits gruelling dance rehearsals have left her feeling ravenous, but she hasn't been making healthy choices to fuel the sessions.
She admitted:" I'm hungry all the time. I went to my mum's after a day of dance rehearsals last week and I ate three bowls of pasta and still wasn't full.
"I can eat all day, but it's fine because I'm dancing so much. I keep reaching for chocolate for energy boosts. I'm not craving anything healthy."
Though it is only two weeks into the competition, the 24-year-old actress - who is partnered by Giovanni Pernice - has already noticed a change in her physique.
She said: "I've noticed my body is toning up too, which is understandable given the hours we've all been working."
And despite the competition, Georgia insists she and her fellow celebrities are very close and supportive of one another.
She told Closer magazine: "We get on so well. I've started a What'sApp group so we can all chat about how we're getting on through the week. Kellie [Bright] has been amazing - she's like my 'Strictly' mum."

Stevi Ritchie and Chloe Jasmine planning honeymoon to Mauritius


Stevi Ritchie wants to take Chloe Jasmine to Mauritius on honeymoon.
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' lovers got engaged in July and the wannabe singer is hoping to whisk his fiancée away to the paradise island nestled in the middle of the Indian Ocean to celebrate tying the knot.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the launch of Thorpe Park's Fright Night attraction on Thursday night (08.10.15), Stevi said: "We haven't discussed the honeymoon ... I'm hoping somewhere really nice like Mauritius, that would be good. I know our wedding, and date, and venue, which I can't really say. But it's July. It's really posh, prim, loads of celebs are coming. Simon (Cowell) and Cheryl (Fernandez-Versini) are the main ones. Top of the crop for them, they're gonna get everything."
Meanwhile, Stevi - who wooed Chloe after meeting the pretty blonde on 'The X Factor' last year - is house-hunting for the couple's marital home.
Asked whether they'll make the move soon, Stevi revealed: "Yes. We're going to hopefully live in either Dedham in Suffolk ... it's a really posh place. It's near where I live now. Not being selfish! Or, we're going to go Surrey area, so that's the plan. So we're close to her parents and close to mine.
Despite a few hiccups in the 'CBB' house, the 35-year-old singer is adamant he and Chloe, 24, are "100 per cent" together and can't wait to wed.
He said: "I can't wait to marry the bird you know. We get on really well. You know I love her, she's great. Despite our stuff in the house, we're not split up. We are 100 per cent together. "
Stevi and Chloe were joined by a host of other celebrities at the the Thorpe Park Fright Night launch including 'TOWIE' star James 'Arg' Argent, 'Big Brother' legends Nikki Grahame and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and Stereo Kicks singer Jake Sims.

Olly Murs ‘pleased’ at being ‘stuck’ in the UK


Olly Murs is "quite pleased" he's not travelling for the 'X Factor's judges' houses round.
The 'Never Been Better' hitmaker has revealed he is secretly glad he won't be jetting off to glamourous locations for the ITV show with his co-host Caroline Flack as he hates the jet lag.
He said: "It is amazing to think you could go to all these different destinations, but I'm actually happy we're not doing it because the jet lag and everything going to the different countries back and forth, and getting on a plane is quite a lot of work.
"I'm actually quite pleased I'm just stuck in the UK. It's quite nice!"
And the 31-year-old singer insists rumours that new judge Nick Grimshaw took his category to Manchester is completely true.
He told Free Radio: "Grimmy is in Manchester. That's not even a joke, he actually did that! Obviously he's got radio commitments as you know. I feel sorry for him actually having to do that, but he's keeping it real!"
Meanwhile, a source previously claimed that there will be "banter" with the judges about the pair missing out on the exotic locations.
They said: "Being with the judges and contestants at this crucial stage is one of the best bits of the job. And it beats being stood in a cold studio in Wembley.
"But they are excited about the series. Of course there'll be banter with the judges about them missing out."

Frankie Bridge joins 2016 Strictly Come Dancing tour


Frankie Bridge has been confirmed for the 2016 'Strictly Come Dancing' tour.
The Saturdays singer was a finalist on last year's series of 'Strictly Come Dancing' but had to pull out of the 2015 arena shows when she discovered she was pregnant with her second son Carter, who is now two months old.
Frankie - who also has 23-month-old Parker with her husband Wayne Bridge - is "thrilled" to have been invited back and is looking forward to being reunited with her "Strictly family".
The 26-year-old pop star - who was partnered with Kevin Clifton on the BBC One TV show - said: "I was so disappointed not to be able to perform in this year's 'Strictly' tour, as I'd been so looking forward to continuing my 'Strictly' journey. But following the birth of my son in August, I'm thrilled to have been asked to join the 2016 tour.
"It will be great to get my dancing shoes back on and be part of the 'Strictly' family again. Roll on January!"
Elsewhere, Frankie has been busy working with Marie Curie's charity to make an appeal to people across the UK to support the Superdrug and P&G FeelSuper Campaign.
Frankie, who launched the campaign as P&G brand ambassador back in April, said: "When we first kicked off the Feel Super campaign we were so determined to reach our target of raising £100,000 and are thrilled to have beaten that already. We're committed to doubling it to raise £200,000 for Marie Curie, and have made it EVEN easier for people to get involved."
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' tour kicks off in Birmingham on January 22 and ends at The O2 in London on Valentine's Day (14.02.16).

Sherrie Hewson had cancer scare before CBB


Sherrie Hewson has confessed she had a cancer scare before going into the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.
The 'Loose Women' star revealed she found a lump in one of her breasts just ahead of the launch of the last series of the reality TV show on August 27 but she ignored what she discovered and went ahead with her appearance on the programme.
Sherrie, 65, eventually got the lump checked by doctors and was told it was nothing more than a cyst but she regrets her lack of action and decision to carry on with 'CBB'.
During an appearance on the chat show today (09.10.15), Sherrie emotionally revealed: "I found a lump just as I was about to go into the Big Brother house. And I just ignored it. It was the stupidest thing I've done in my entire life ... luckily it was just a cyst, nothing more serious.
"My fear was a; I didn't want to know, and b; I didn't want to tell anybody. And I think really really if you speak to people in the street they will tell you that's one of the biggest problems - terror. You don't want to look, touch or feel (it) and think it could be me, I'll put me head in the sand and pretend it's not me. And I think that's what happened to me."
Sherrie's worries about the lump contributed to her being subdued on the show and she has urged other women who discover anything unusual with their breasts to not act irresponsibly like she did and bury their head in the sand about the situation.
Speaking on a special breast cancer survivors party episode of 'Loose Women', she added: "I felt it before I went in the house. People thought I was quiet, but it was that. The main thing for me (in there) was to have a glass of wine because I thought, 'That'll take it away.'
"You've got to face it. It could be you, you've got to get on with it and do something about it ... The reason I want to share this today is because I want people to look at me and think, 'Don't be that stupid.' Be honest with yourself. So anybody listening please don't do what I did."

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini wouldn’t welcome Louis Walsh’s return


Cheryl Fernandez-Versini wouldn't be in favour of Louis Walsh returning to 'The X Factor'.
The 32-year-old singer - who currently sits on the show's judging panel alongside Rita Ora, Nick Grimshaw and Simon Cowell - has revealed she doesn't know if Louis will return to the hit TV show, but she doesn't think it'd be a sensible idea.
She said: "I read about the rumours that Louis is coming back.
"I thought it was just a rumour, then someone told me he was on TV talking about it as a possibility. I have not been told it's a possibility."
However, Cheryl insisted she's a fan of the current line-up and doesn't think it'd be wise to include Louis at this stage of the competition.
She said: "I'm absolutely in love with them, so I don't know how Louis could comment on acts he doesn't know.
"He doesn't know anybody, so I don't know how that would work out. I'm going to make some phone calls..."
Meanwhile, Sharon Osbourne - another former 'X Factor' judge - revealed she'd heard Louis has been offered a role on the show.
Speaking on the 'Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show' on Absolute Radio, Sharon said: "Louis said Simon called him and asked him if he'd consider going back for the live shows.
"I haven't heard from him as to whether it is a serious offer or not."
What's more, Sharon said the show's success may have peaked and that it's now on the decline.
She shared: "I'm not watching it but Louis has been telling me that the figures are down on the show, which saddens me.
"Basically, it's not going as well as it could be. It's impossible for a show like that to keep on top year after year. It reaches its peak and each year it chips away and slowly goes down and down and down."

Charley Webb ‘enjoyed’ labour


Charley Webb "really enjoyed" being in labour.
The 'Emmerdale' star - who portrays Debbie Dingle in the ITV soap - found giving birth to her first child Buster five years ago incredibly easy so she isn't worried about the process of welcoming her second child later this year.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, she said: "I really enjoyed being in labour. I know not many people say that but for me I really enjoyed the whole experience."
Although the brunette beauty - who refused any pain relief other than gas and air last time - found labour with Buster a painful experience, she said it's wasn't unbearable.
She explained: "It was painful but it was a different kind of pain. People always try and say 'Oh it's like this, oh it's like that.' It's not like any of those things because they're all unnatural pains that you're talking about.
"Whereas giving birth is, as a woman, you're built to do it. It's a natural pain, it doesn't feel like sawing your arm off."
Charley and her co-star husband Matthew Wolfenden, who portrays loveable David Metcalfe in the show, haven't found out what sex their second child is but is hoping it's a boy.
Meanwhile, Charley's exit from the Dales, in order for her to go on maternity leave is being kept under wraps but she hopes her alter-ego will able to sneak off "quietly."
