James Hill wins Celebrity Big Brother


James Hill has won 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The former 'Apprentice' contestant appeared stunned when presenter Emma Willis announced he had pipped pal Austin Armacost to take the crown on this year's show.
James stepped out to cheers and fireworks and exclaimed "Oh my God" before admitting he was surprised to win.
He said: "I'm amazed, I can't believe it. I never ever would have expected it."
Even Emma admitted she was surprised by James' victory.
She told him: "On launch night, if I had to pick a winner, it wouldn't have been you."
Despite being accused of being competitive and having a strategy, James insisted he had no plan to win.
He said: "I didn't have a game plan, I just go with my heart and my gut.
You don't go in to make friends, but you do naturally. I got close to some people who hopefully I'll be friends for the rest of my life with."
An emotional Austin left the house first and insisted he was delighted his friend had won.
He said: "We've been through an insane journey and I'm so pleased I made a friend, we had a bond right from the beginning.
"At the end of the day, that dude is a great guy, he's been a strong pillar and he deserves the success and he deserves the crown."
Despite their closeness, Austin was devastated when James nominated him for eviction and he is still annoyed by his decision.
He said: "It devastated me. Initially I didn't know why, I thought I would never do that to him, but after he gave me his reasons, I don't understand them but I respect them and that's all I can say because it really p***es me off."

Bobby Davro and Natasha Hamilton out of CBB house


Natasha Hamilton has come third on 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The Atomic Kitten singer was "over the moon" with her placing on the show but admitted she had felt constant "tension" during her stint in the house.
She said: "I thought I was a calm and collected person but by day two there was a knot in my stomach. There was tension."
And Natasha was particularly shocked to be embroiled in a row as soon as she entered the house, but insisted the regular arguments didn't bother her too much.
She said: "I was in the house 10 minutes and Farrah [Abraham] was screaming at me, so I was thrust into it. I was shocked, I was really taken aback, I went out to give the olive branch and she just went bezerk.
"I'm a lot older and to me it's just noise, I don't think I felt threatened but I don't want to be screaming and shouting, and have someone running up at me.
"But I went in and said I wasn't going to be bullied or a pushover, I had all that when I was a kid and I'm an adult now."
Natasha existed shortly after Bobby Davro, who placed fourth and admitted he had "loved every second" of his stint on the show.
He said: "It's a fantastic result for me I'd have liked to have made top three but I'm happy with four.
"I've never laughed so much in four weeks I laughed every day and it was fantastic."
And Bobby also admitted he will be using his time in the house as inspiration for his comedy shows.
He told host Emma Willis: "Come and see one of my shows, I've got a lot to say about everyone in the house so come and buy a ticket."
Voting continues for the winner of this series, with James Hill or Austin Armacost set to be named the winner later this evening (24.09.15).

Sherrie Hewson, Stevi and Chloe-Jasmine leave CBB house


Sherrie Hewson, Stevi Ritchie and Chloe-Jasmine Whichello have left the 'Celebrity Big Brother' house.
The 'Loose Women' presenter has finished in sixth place in this series of the competition, having scored the lowest number of votes this week, just behind the couple, who counted as one housemate.
The trio left the house together to a mixture of cheers and boos, with the hostility mainly appearing directed towards the former 'X Factor' contestants, who had earlier been jeered by the audience whenever they appeared on screen.
In her exit interview, Sherrie appeared close to tears as she discussed how "emotional" she had found the show.
She said: "I've had the most fantastic time but it's been an emotional rollercoaster...
"I am emotional, I don't know why. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions, I loved everyone but it really gets to you."
Meanwhile, Stevi and Chloe-Jasmine admitted they "worried" about the pressure of being in the house together.
Chloe-Jasmine said: "We were so worried about our relationship the whole time. We've learned so much from being in there."
Voting continues for the winner of this series, with Bobby Davro, James Hill, Natasha Hamilton or Austin Armacost set to be named the winner later this evening (24.09.15).

Vicki Michelle ‘pressing charges’ against Farrah Abraham


Vicki Michelle is "pressing charges" against Farrah Abraham after she was glassed on 'Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side'.
The 'Allo Allo' actress has confirmed she will be taking action against the former 'Teen Mom' star, who allegedly smashed a glass over her head during a heated argument with Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace on the live panel show following her eviction from the reality show house earlier this week.
Her agent Paul Person told ITV News: "Actress Vicki Michelle MBE is this morning with Hertfordshire police and will be pressing charges against Farrah Abraham, who struck the back of her head with a glass during the recording of 'CBBBOTS' this week.
"Vicki has been in show business for 40 years and has been left in deep shock and with concussion after the attack by Ms. Abraham."
The 64-year-old star - who appeared on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' last year - and Farrah Abraham are both helping the police with their investigation.
A spokesperson for Hertfordshire police told MailOnline: "Officers are continuing to make inquiries with relevant parties following the incident which occurred at Elstree Studios on the evening on September 22.
"These investigations are on-going at this time. No arrests have been made."

Little Mix think X Factor is ‘predictable’


Little Mix think 'The X Factor' is "getting a bit predictable".
The 'Black Magic' hitmakers - who won the talent show in 2011 - have admitted they think it might be time for producers to take it off of the air for a few years.
Jesy Nelson said: "It's getting a bit predictable. You kind of know what's going to happen. Simon's going to go 'raises hand], 'Give me another song', and all that.
"I feel like I literally know what's going to happen next. It's like watching a film you've seen ten times."
Their comments come after executive producer Richard Holloway admitted the show has a "finite" life-span and confessed he thinks it would be a good idea to rest it for a few years and then bring it back.
Jade Thirwall told Digital Spy: "I think 'The X Factor' is a brilliant show, but it has [been on] every year and maybe people will appreciate it more.
"Like, you know when you split up with someone and then you get back with them and it's even better."




John Thomson would ‘love’ Cold Feet reunion


John Thomson would "love" to be involved in a 'Cold Feet' reunion.
The 46-year-old actor - who played Pete Gifford in the long-running comedy-drama - has revealed he would definitely like to reprise his role if the planned reboot goes ahead, but only if the original team is involved.
He said: "It's not 100 per cent. It's subject for contract. It might start next year. It's likely, but the deals aren't done, because it's such a large ensemble cast.
"I don't know how it came out without it being set in stone. I would love to do it. There's a lot of naysayers obviously. Why not? Let's try it. It's so popular. If it's the same cast and the same writer then potentially that's a great thing, bit if it was different I would be very, 'Hmm, really?' "
The former 'Coronation Street' star also claimed he'd like to see Helen Baxendale's character Rachel Bradley involved despite her being killed off in the fifth and final series.
According to Digital Spy, he shared: "My idea for that would be, I don't know if you've seen 'Dexter' but his father appears in that and he's not a ghost, it's not supernatural.
"The beauty of Dexter's father is that he's his conscience, so he can see him and hear him, and they do it really well. If Adam (Williams, James Nesbitt) has Rachel as his conscience that would be lovely, and it's not stealing from 'Dexter', it's just really good device.
"You hear bereaved people say, 'In my mind I talk to them all the time', so it's not a weird thing. I don't know what they're doing with Helen though."

Farrah Abraham not attending Celebrity Big Brother final


Farrah Abraham "will not" be attending the 'Celebrity Big Brother' final tonight (24.09.15).
The 'Teen Mom' star - who was evicted from the reality show house earlier this week - has revealed she will not be returning to see who is crowned winner this evening following her vicious row with Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace on the spin-off show 'Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side'.
She wrote on Twitter: I will NOT be attending the @bbuk finale tonight! I don't wish to put myself in a potentially hostile situation #Cbb (sic)."
The 24-year-old reality TV star - who is accused of smashing a glass over 'Allo Allo' actress Vicki Michelle's head in an attempt to attack Aisleyne - also claimed she is looking forward to telling her side of the story despite the fact Vicky has confirmed she will be pressing charges.
She added: "WordPeace Congrats to the winner tonight Thank you all for the support&I will reveal my truth soon! #recovering (sic)."
Meanwhile, it's been claimed that it was Farrah and her team who first contacted the police following the fracas that saw the live show taken off the air.
A representative for the mother-of-one told MailOnline: "Farrah has been liasing with the police and her lawyer in regards to the night's events."
And a legal expert from First4Lawyers has revealed Vicki - who claims she "could have been blinded" during the attack - could be owed up to £6,000 for traumatic stress.

Poldark filming disrupted by fans trying to see Aidan Turner


'Poldark' filming was halted as fans tired to catch sight of Aidan Turner.
Crew members and stars of the second series of the popular drama came to the small village of Charlestown in Cornwall, south west England and caused mayhem as fans tried to get pictures of the hunky actor, who is known to take his top off and expose his ribbed body during the programme.
Local pub manager Simon Williams, revealed: "There's been a real buzz and it's definitely helped trade having the filming take place here.
"Unfortunately a lot of people have been watching and taking pictures and using flashes, which I know has halted filming."
Simon thinks it's due to the rising success of the show and the fascination with lead stars Aidan and Eleanor Tomlinson.
He added to the Daily Star newspaper: "When they shot here for the first season it wasn't busy as people didn't know who they were. But they do now as it's so popular."
Those who managed to see into the set would have seen Aidan puffing on an E-cigarette, fully kitted-out in his 18th century costume.
Filming at the Cornish location will continue for several weeks before they move on to other parts of the West Country.

Paloma Faith’s advice for axed Tom Jones


Sir Tom Jones turned to Paloma Faith for advice after being sensationally sacked from 'The Voice'.
The 75-year-old musical legend claimed he was given "no idea" and "no warning" that Boy George was to replace him on the show and new coach Paloma revealed she comforted a "very upset" Tom.
She said: "I spoke to him about it and he was very upset about the way they handled his exit.
"That was sad for him, but I'm sure Tom Jones has got a lot of other things he can be doing because he is a national treasure and a legend. I don't think he will lose too much sleep over it."
And Paloma, 34, revealed she is relishing her new role on the show as she can be "honest without being cruel".
She told the Daily Mirror: "I think I'm good at cultivating people's talent that is there already. I also think I'm honest without being cruel and I think that's quite a good combo for a show like that, because it's not very helpful to tell everyone that everything they do is amazing."
