Dean Gaffney ‘calls his penis Wellard’


Dean Gaffney reportedly calls his penis Wellard.
The 37-year-old actor - who this week returned to 'EastEnders' after a 12-year hiatus - risks wrecking his bid to make a full-time return to the soap because of his sex obsession, which extends to referring to his member by the name of his famous on-screen dog, according to his brother Gary.
He shared: "Obviously people go, 'How's Wellard?' And he'll look down at his manhood and go, 'Yeah, he's alright!'
"When you're 37 it's not that funny any more."
Gary worries his brother - who's signed up to play Robbie Jackson for seven episodes on the show - will allow his love of women to get in the way of his career ambitions, having recently said he's keen to return to Albert Square on a permanent basis.
Gary told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "I think he'll go off the rails again. If you work for the BBC you have to represent the company. You are not bigger than the show itself.
"He's a player and a pick-up artist.That won't go down well with the show because he won't be able to keep it in his trousers.
"It will all be taken away from him and it will because of the sex thing.
"He has easily slept with more than 1,000 women, at least as many as Mick Hucknall."

Jeremy Kyle’s wife ‘had sex up to 20 times with polo player’


A hunky polo player has claimed to have had sex up to 20 times with Jeremy Kyle's wife.
The 50-year-old TV host and his model wife Carla Germaine recently announced an amicable split and now, James Carr has claimed to have bedded the 40-year-old blonde in the space of "six or seven meetings" while Jeremy was away in the US.
He shared: "Carla called after midnight asking if I wanted to meet her outside for a cigarette.
"We had a smoke and a chat and she told me Jeremy was in America. Then suddenly we began kissing. Without talking, I took her hand and led her inside my house.
"Carla took her high heels off so her shoes wouldn't make a noise on our stone stairs. We didn't want to wake my housemates. We started having sex - it was amazing."
However, the sportsman insisted he never considered starting a relationship with Carla, saying it was "never anything more than just sex".
He told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "She is fun, a good laugh and has a good sense of humour. In terms of her character she is very soft and very nice. You couldn't fault her. I liked being around her.
"We were having fun and it was never anything more than just sex.
"It never crossed my mind to suggest going on a date because it would have been stupid to. Because it couldn't mean anything, it meant that there wasn't a lot of affection.
"We never had sex in their property - only at mine."

Kym Marsh involved in public argument


Kym Marsh was reportedly involved in a public row with the pregnant ex-girlfriend of her current boyfriend Matt Baker.
The 'Coronation Street' actress, her four-year-old daughter Polly and her boyfriend were all out shopping in Manchester's Trafford Centre when they bumped into Danni Ballard, who insists she's carrying Matt's baby following their nine-month relationship.
Speaking to friends about her heartbreak, Danni explained: "This has been the hardest time of my life.
"Matt needs to face up to his responsibilities - and, if he stays with Kym, she must help him see that."
After acknowledging Matt and being told to "go away", Danni asked him: "Do you think it's right you're pushing someone else's pram in the kids' section of Next, when you won't have anything to do with me or the baby?"
Matt reportedly walked off without responding and so Danni turned her attention to Kym, 39.
According to the Sunday Mirror newspaper, she explained: "I said Kym, can I have a word?
"I said I didn't want to cause any trouble, I just want to talk to you.
"She looked at me and my bump, then she turned her back on me. I said 'Do you think it's acceptable that he looks after your child when he's totally not acknowledged that I'm pregnant with his baby?'
"She wouldn't look at me at all."

Phyllis Logan wants to host Downton Abbey cruise


Phyllis Logan wants to host a 'Downton Abbey' cruise when she retires.
The 59-year-old actress - who plays housekeeper Mrs. Hughes in the period drama - was devastated when she filmed her last scenes for the sixth and final series and is desperate to reunite with the cast on another project one day.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz about the possibility of hosting a cruise, Phyllis said: "That's a great idea, that's what we could do on our retirement ... 'Come on a cruise with the 'Downton' cast!' "
And Phyllis isn't the only star of the show that's interested in the idea.
Joanne Froggatt - who plays lady maid Anna Bates - said: "Yeah we'll be like, 'We just want to hang out together again so we're doing a cruise'."
However, although Phyllis is gutted 'Downton' has come to an end, she confessed one thing she definitely won't miss is her costumes.
She added: "I will not miss my corset. One of our lovely dressers said, 'I'll ask if you can have your corset', and I said, 'I'm really not that bothered!' "
'Downton Abbey' series six continues tonight (27.09.15) at 9pm on ITV.

Simon Cowell is making a kids TV show


Simon Cowell is making a children's TV show inspired by his son Eric.
The 55-year-old television producer and music mogul who brought the world 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'The X Factor' has been inspired to enter the arena of kids TV after he welcomed 19-month-old son Eric into the world last year.
He said: "He (Eric) loves music and a photo I posted of him playing drums to One Direction was the motivation to a new show we're working on."
Though no more details have been revealed Simon has the formula all worked out.
He added: "It's really cool, aimed at kids, and we're sorting out a deal now. It is based on something Eric would like to watch but that isn't around at the moment."
Meanwhile, the talent mentor said he can't wait for the Pride of Britain Awards that takes place on Monday (28.09.15) but said last year after having baby Eric with Lauren Silverman he felt more "emotional" watching the young winners.
He told The Mirror newspaper: "Lauren was with me last year and is quite emotional anyway - she was in pieces afterwards. As a dad watching another child going through one of these awful things, there's part of your brain that goes into that mode of 'What if it was Eric'? It's definitely one of the reasons I was more emotional."
He added: "There are so many awards ceremonies - but this one's about things that genuinely matter."

Kristina Rihanoff: Abuse left me ‘suicidal’


Kristina Rihanoff was "suicidal" after internet trolls bullied her.
The 'Strictly Come Dancing' coach dated her co-star Vincent Simone and partner Joe Calzaghe after she joined the show in 2008 but revealed the abuse she received because of the relationships from people online "destroyed" her.
Speaking in an interview with The Sun newspaper, Kristina, 37, said: "I felt suicidal at that point in my life. I was having such dark thoughts -- and I'm not a person who gives up easily.
"I know that I'm strong but the abuse... it just destroyed me emotionally. I couldn't find a single positive thing to tell myself."
It all started when the Russian dancer became close to Vincent on the Strictly tour.
Kristina revealed: "He was very charming and he was paying me a lot of attention. I wanted someone to share my stories with and to talk to."
But the Italian heartthrob broke off their relationship and confessed he had a girlfriend who was pregnant and Kristina felt "used".
Kristina said: "I felt absolutely sick to my stomach. My legs almost gave way, they were shaking so much.
"I asked him if he had just found out about her pregnancy and he was honest enough to say 'no' and she was four months pregnant.
"I was so upset, so angry. I felt completely used. I will never forgive him for what he did to me."
Later, the blonde beauty - who is now dating her former dancing partner Ben Cohen - fell for boxing champion Joe but she soon realised they weren't suited.
She said: "It's funny how you can be so right for each other in so many ways and yet the timing can be so wrong. Our relationship had blossomed rapidly and we fell in love quickly.
"But Joe just wanted to go on holiday all the time and drink with his mates. He had achieved all his goals in life but there was still a lot that I wanted to achieve."

Louise Redknapp wants baby girl


Louise Redknapp wants a baby girl.
The 40-year-old singer-turned-presenter already has sons Charley, 11, and Beau, six, with husband Jamie Redknapp but is considering adding to her family again before it's too late.
She said: "I'd like another baby, a girl would be great.
"But I'm nearly 41, so I need to make up my mid.
"A friend told me I'll never regret having another child, but I'll always regret not having another one."
And Louise isn't worried about bringing up a baby in her 40s, as she feels as fit and healthy as she's always done.
She added: "I feel I could handle another baby physically. I still have as much energy as I did when I was 30."
The former Eternal singer and her husband also like to find the time to party, and recently enjoyed a particularly wild night out with Ed Sheeran.
She told Closer magazine: "Ed invited us to a gig and then backstage afterwards.
"We had loads of mojitos and ended up back at our house in Majorca with Ed and Jamie singing loudly and rapping.
"The kids were asleep and I just thought, 'If they wake up, they're going to be so confused."

Michelle Heaton turned down Strictly Come Dancing


Michelle Heaton turned down the chance to compete on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 36-year-old star claims she was asked to appear on the current series of the ballroom dance contest but had to turn it down because of her hectic schedule.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "It was on the horizon but it didn't happen this year because I had other projects in the pipeline."
However, despite being too busy to strut her stuff on the dance floor this year, Michelle insists she would love to take part in the show in the future.
She shared: "I would love to do 'Strictly'. It is one thing any woman would love to do."
The brunette beauty's comments come after she previously claimed producers failed to approach her for the show this year.
Michelle - who has three-year-old daughter Faith and 19-month-old son Aaron with husband Hugh Hanley - said earlier this year: "The rumours are just rumours. You're reading what I'm reading. Nobody's called me. If it comes along it would be a great dream of mine but it hasn't yet.'
Michelle Heaton is working with Walt Disney World Resort in Florida to showcase the delicious range of meals included in its 2016 Free Dine promotion which allows families to eat for free at the resort.

Bobby Davro: Janice Dickinson ‘to be locked up’


Bobby Davro has claimed Janice Dickinson could be facing prison time.
The 57-year-old comedian has spoken out after leaving the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house last night (24.09.15) to claim the former model could go to jail after throwing a chair at fellow American Farrah Abraham on 'Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side' earlier this week.
He said: "I don't think Janice will be going anywhere any time soon. I think Janice, she is going to be locked up in prison by the sounds of things.
"She hit Farrah over the head with a chair apparently. That's what I've just heard.
"Despite our differences in the house, I hope the back of Farrah's head heals up soon."
Bobby also insisted that while he hopes Farrah - who is alleged to have smashed a glass over 'Allo Allo' actress Vicki Michelle's head on the panel show - recovers soon, he won't be keeping in touch with her.
Claiming he doesn't think the 'Teen Mom' star will be appearing on any more British TV shows, he explained: "The damage is too deep with her. She's got a wall so high you can see it from out of space.
"I didn't like Farrah and she didn't like me. We will not be swapping numbers!"
Meanwhile, Janice - who was previously said to have thrown the chair at Farrah in an attempt to protect Vicki - was absent from the 'CBB' final last night (24.09.15) and was instead spotted at the launch of Boots' Christmas products at the ME London Hotel.
