Sally Dynevor loves clubbing in Ibiza


Sally Dynevor goes clubbing in Ibiza every year.
The 'Coronation Street' actress enjoyed a trip to the party island for her 50th birthday two years ago, and she had such a great time hanging out with her pals, they have made the holiday an annual event.
She said: "I love having girlie weekends and for my 50th birthday some of the mums from school took me to Ibiza. We enjoyed it so much we now go back every year.
"I love the fact I'm doing it now, rather than when I was younger because you look at it in a different way. When you're young and do the clubbing thing, it's quite serious, but when you're older it's just a bit of fun and I can take it or leave it.
"And we don't just go clubbing. I enjoy nice walks in the old town and just being with the girls and being able to chat about things you don't normally get a chance to talk about at home."
Sally - who has children Phoebe, 20, Samuel, 18, and 11-year-old Hattie with husband Tim Dynevor - didn't mind turning 50, but struggled when she turned 40 and thinks being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009 changed her outlook on life.
She told Woman magazine: "Turning 50 was much easier for me than turning 40. That seemed a really big thing.
"Now, as I['m getting older, I'm quite enjoying it. After what I've been through with my health, I think it's made me appreciate every moment of my life.
"I was always quite a positive person but now when people talk about age, I'm just grateful I'm here. Age is not a big thing to me in the way it was when I was 40."

Stars of rival TV dramas set to marry


Jessica Raine is engaged to 'Mr Selfridge' star Tom Goodman-Hill.
The 'Call the Midwife' actress is set to tie the knot with her partner - who stars in rival prime time drama about the London department store - after the couple met in 2010 whilst Tom was still married.
In a rare occurance of life immitating art, the 33-year-old met her future fiance when they appeared opposite each other in a play about a troubled husband who is lured away from his wife by a young mistress.
Months after they met, Tom walked out on his wife Kerry and their two teenage children.
Kerry, last night said about the engagement: "I'm aware of it. That's all I want to say."
Meanwhile, the loved-up pair will be seen on screens tonight (26.07.15) as their respective TV shows go head to head.
The brunette beauty is also due on screens in BBC Two's new 'Partners in Crime' where she plays one half of a married detective couple, opposite David Walliams.
Friends of the couple are excited for their happy news.
A friend of Jessica told The Mail on Sunday: "We are so happy for them. Of course we've all joked that when they have children she can deliver her own."


All Creatures Great and Small returns on HBO


Classic drama 'All Creatures Great and Small' is returning to TV.
The hit BBC show - that starred Lynda Bellingham and attracted audiences of over 20 million in the '80s - has been discovered by 'Game of Thrones' makers HBO who are now planning for a big-budget remake.
A US TV source said: "There's a bit of a fad for British classics after the success of 'Poldark' and Doctor Who. There's plenty of scope to make the storylines more modern but keep the basic formula the same."
The story is taken from the books by Alf Wight and is based on a vet's adventures rescuing animals - in and around a fictional village in Yorkshire - in the 1930s to '50s.
It made the late actress Lynda, who played Helen Herriot and actor Christopher Timothy (James Herriot) household names.
The insider told the Sunday Mirror: "It's going to be sexier and glossier and the hope is to get a couple of big names involved to make it a big success."
"So far it's only in the planning stages but there are some great ideas being thrown around."

Jerome Flynn thought Game of Thrones would be ‘twaddle’


Jerome Flynn felt like he was "selling his soul" when he accepted a role in 'Game of Thrones'.
The 52-year-old actor plays mercenary Bronn in HBO's hit medieval drama - which airs on Sky in the UK and is now shooting its sixth series - but he's admitted he had no idea it was going to be so successful and was even worried it would ruin his career.
He shared: "I walked into one of the most popular shows on the planet. I'd put it in a bracket of American twaddle. I had a picture of dying a terrible death, a selling-my-soul kind of feeling. I'd never done anything American before."
However, the 'Ripper Street' star realised as soon as he met the show's producers and the cast - which includes Kit Harington, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke and Peter Dinklage - that it was going to be something special.
Jerome added to Radio Times magazine: "I had ideas about how it went that were, of course, very naive. Then when I met the producers, I got an idea of what it meant to them, and the scale of the production. Then the cast turned up, and I realised this was epic. Wonderful to be part of. How did I ever think?"

David Walliams: I’m no James Bond


David Walliams isn't trying to be James Bond in his new TV detective role.
The 43-year-old comedian stars alongside actress Jessica Raine, 32, in the whodunnit 1950's drama series 'Partners In Crime' - about married detectives Thomas and Prudence 'Tuppence' Beresford - but says that the character doesn't inspire him to impersonate the most famed English spy.
He said: "I'm not trying to pass myself off as James Bond.
"The first story is about how Tommy and Tuppence get the taste for being detectives. Their adventure is an escape from their boring life, bu it's not one of those dramas where the man is the hero and the woman is just along for the ride. Which is why it's alright having me play him!"
And the 43-year-old funny-man - who plays the character created by iconic crime author Agatha Christie - channeled his childhood memories of his mum and dad for the role.
He told The Sun TV magazine: "I just thought of those times sitting in the back seat of the car with my dad map-reading and my mum driving, and the arguing - it's that relationship while solving crimes at the same time.
'Partners In Crime' will air on Sunday (26.07.15) 9pm on BBC One.

‘Strictly’ love triangle could get Kristina kicked off show


'Strictly Come Dancing' bosses will be asked to drop Kristina Rihanoff from the show.
The 37-year-old blonde is in a relationship with her former dancing partner Ben Cohen, 36, whilst he is still married to wife Abby. Now the devastated spouse of the rugby star is planning to write to TV producers to get her kicked off the show.
A friend of Abby, 36, said: "She has told people close to her that she is going to do everything she can to get Kristina kicked off Strictly."
"She is still furious with Kristina. She considered her a friend while Ben was on 'Strictly', so seeing them together now is absolutely heartbreaking.
The pair danced together in 2013 and confirmed their relationship back in May, after Ben and Abby split.
But Abby thinks that Kristina - who has also dated Strictly contestant Joe Calzaghe and dancer Vincent Simone - is not fit for family entertainment and will discredit the star in a strongly worded letter to 'Strictly' bosses.
The source told The Sun newspaper: "Kristina and Ben still insist nothing happened between them while on the show and they say they only started seeing each other in recent weeks."

Jedward offer advice to future Celebrity Big Brother contestants


Jedward have advised future 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemates to think, "What would Jedward do?"
The 23-year-old twins - John and Edward Grimes - insist none of the celebrities being lined up for the next series of the Channel 5 reality show will provide as much entertainment value as they did in 2011 so they've instead offered some words of advice.
Jedward exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Just think, 'What would Jedward do?' Look back on everything that we did and see if they can outdo us because they will not. Because we were there for, like, three weeks we had to chill out by just relaxing and dancing, to remove yourself from the situation. So, entertain yourself, find some entertainment yourself, do some dancing, but the fake grass can be kind of slippy! Hide some of the food! Sometimes the food gets all gone."
John added: "Just live. Me and Edward ... When we were in the house everyone was asleep the whole time, so you should just get up and live your life in your own house. You've got no phone, no internet, live like you were in the 90s, before technology took over."
Edward then quipped: "Make sure you get paid a million (pounds) like me and John."
The former 'X Factor' contestants famously became pals with 'American Pie' actress Tara Reid and 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Amy Childs in the 'Big Brother' house, but confessed they don't think it's necessary to make friends with the other housemates.
Jedward said: "It's kind of hard not to be in people's faces. Don't try to make friends just be nice to everybody. Sometimes, people have a freak-out moment and you just need to say, 'Hey it's okay.'"

Jasmin Walia: I can ‘relate to’ TOWIE’s Verity Chapman


Jasmin Walia can "relate to" 'Verity Chapman.
'The Only Way Is Essex''s new girl has already got on the wrong side of most of the cast - most notably Danielle Armstrong - however the 25-year-old former 'TOWIE' star has admitted she likes her, despite being close friends with Danielle.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, Jasmin said: "(Verity) is trying to be the strong girl who doesn't take c**p from boys and actually I'm the same person and exactly like that. I can talk to boys and girls seem to misinterpret it. I relate to her in that sense."
Verity came into the ITVBe reality TV show surrounded by rumours she'd slept with Danielle's ex-boyfriend James Lock on a night out with Vas J. Morgan and Lauren Pope, and flirted with him in front of her too.
While Verity denied she'd done anything wrong, and claimed she didn't know about the couple's history, Jasmin isn't so sure if she's telling the truth.
She said: "I think (Verity) is great, but my loyalties will always lie with Danielle and I think she would have known about her and Lockie because she would have checked magazines everyday and you would have seen it in all the papers and wherever."
Jasmin added she hopes Lockie and Dani - who broke up in June after two years together - get back together, as she thinks "they're a really good couple".
The Asian beauty - who is now starring in Sky 1's 'Desi Rascals' - said: "I hope they do (get back together) because I think they're a really good couple, I've known them from the start. I hope they work it out."

Rylan’s fiance didn’t know he could cook until Celebrity Masterchef


Rylan Clark's fiance Dan Neal didn't know he could cook before he was on 'Celebrity Masterchef'.
The 26-year-old TV presenter has confessed he's only cooked four times in the entire time he and the former 'Big Brother' contestant have lived together, despite making it in to tonight's (24.07.15) final of the BBC cooking competition, alongside Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt and children's TV presenter Sam Nixon.
Rylan said: "No one knew I could cook. We've lived in our house for a year and I've cooked four times - and three out of those four times Dan didn't eat it.
"Everyone keeps saying, 'You must be so lucky having lovely dinners'. And he's like, 'We've just had a Chinese.'"
The 'Masterchef' judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace have constantly praised the 'Big Brother's Bit On The Side' host for his food presentation and taste, but Rylan's just as delighted he's managed to keep his makeup intact throughout the show.
Speaking to The Sun newspaper, the former 'X Factor' contestant said: "I've been watching the show thinking it's the worst I've ever looked but then I look at the others and I look like a supermodel.
"All the girls have had their hair falling out, extensions on the floor, and there's me applying bronzer as I open the oven.
"If you're going to do something, try and look your best, that's what I say!"
