James Lock accused of racism


James Lock faces a second ban from 'The Only Way is Essex' after accusations he racially abused two men on set.
The reality star was talking to the men at a pool party at the Essex Pine Grove mansion when he was reportedly overheard calling them "black f******" by someone nearby, who made a formal complaint about the comments to TV bosses.
Whilst the alleged victims haven't made complaints against the star, an investigation has been launched into the incident.
A spokesperson for the ITVBe structured reality show told The Sun newspaper: "Any issues of this nature are obviously taken very seriously and a thorough investigation is already ongoing.
"The cast member concerned denies these allegations."
James - who recently split with girlfriend Danielle Armstrong - was first suspended from the show last year when he was suspected of taking a class A drug and later charged with possessing the class C drug ketamine.
Although he pleaded guilty to the charges, he was allowed to return to the Essex-based show three months later.
A source said at the time: "Lockie is an immensely popular chap with big story-lines but it is touch and go whether he stays on the show."
If he is suspended, he wouldn't be the only star to be reprimanded, with Mario Falcone recently forced to take a break after breaking his contract, and Gemma Collins previously being suspended following a blazing row which erupted during a taping in Marbella.

Davina McCall won’t indulge her children


Davina McCall won't leave a single penny to her children.
The 47-year-old TV presenter - who has two daughters, Holly, 14, and Tilly, 12, and an eight-year-old son Chester with her husband Matthew Robertson - has revealed that despite amassing an enormous personal fortune, she wants her children to "stand on their own two feet".
She said: "I read an article recently that said girls of working mothers go off and have a great work ethic themselves.
"I look at my daughters now and have painstakingly told them they won't be inheriting any money. Me and Matthew plan on spending every penny!
"We say we will take them on great holidays, and treat their families to great holidays, but they have to stand on their own two feet."
Meanwhile, Davina admitted to harbouring doubts about her presenting talents, despite enjoying a hugely successful career.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I remember presenting the Baftas and thinking it was ridiculous and I didn't know what I was doing.
"I wonder if, say, Graham Norton is also thinking, 'What am I doing?'"
However, Davina is also philosophical about her failings and says she's always keen to learn from them.
She reflected: "I'm not perfect, I am learning along the way from my mistakes.
"Nobody likes failing. It doesn't feel good.
"But if you learn from it and move on that's brilliant."

Danielle Lloyd sparks pregnancy rumours


Danielle Lloyd has sparked rumours she's pregnant.
The 31-year-old model - who filed for divorce from her husband of two years Jamie O'Hara last September - has fallen for her new boyfriend Tom Jinson, with friends believing she is now expecting their first child.
A source said: "Danielle has set tongues wagging among her friends that she may be pregnant. On a recent night out, she was avoiding champagne and kept complaining about feeling under the weather.
"She even cancelled a business breakfast recently saying she was feeling sick. Friends can't help but notice her figure looks a bit fuller, too. Danielle keeps laughing that she's just put on a bit of weight, but not everyone is convinced!"
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' star already has sons Archie, four, Harry, three, and 22-month-old George from her relationship with Jamie, but has fallen head-over-heels for her new beau, and has reportedly made no secret of the fact she'd like to have a daughter with him.
The source revealed to Closer magazine: "Danielle is so loved up with Tom. She can't believe how lucky she's been to find love again. She says they've talked about marriage and she often says how much she would love to have a daughter - she dotes on all her friends' little girls.
"Friends are surprised she has another baby in her sights so soon into a new relationship, but Danielle is reassuring them she sees her future with Tom."

Natalie Anderson for Strictly Come Dancing?


Natalie Anderson would "love" to take part in 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 33-year-old actress - who is preparing to depart her 'Emmerdale' role of Alicia Metcalfe - has revealed she is keen to spend more time with her two-year-old son Freddie before he reaches school age and though she has no professional projects in place yet, she'd jump at the chance of competing for the mirrorball trophy.
She said: "This year with Freddie is important, the year before he goes to school, but that's not to say I might take on something that fits around my family life. It could be a stage show or a drama or it could be presenting."
Asked if she wants to go on 'Strictly', she added: "I would absolutely love that. If they wanted me then I would do it. But I won't lose sight of why I made the decision to leave 'Emmerdale'.
While Natalie - who married husband James in 2008 - is certain she made the right decision in quitting the ITV soap, she admits she was both scared and nervous at first.
She told HELLO! magazine: "If I'm honest, when I first said I wanted to leave there was an element of fear and, of course, there are nerves.
"But essentially, you make decisions in your life to take you to a different point and I'm incredibly lucky in that I have a wonderful family and an incredible husband who made me feel so secure and reassured in my decision, so I feel excited about the future."

Charlotte Crosby and Mitch Jenkins ‘over for good’


Charlotte Crosby and her boyfriend are "over for good".
The 'Geordie Shore' star has reportedly split from Mitch Jenkins, despite recently insisting their relationship was "amazing".
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Everyone was expecting them to get engaged but it's over for good."
The news comes only days after Charlotte admitted she had had a change of heart about relocating down south with her beau.
She said: "I'm putting house-hunting on hold for a while - but I haven't told Mitch yet.
"I'm just not sure if I want to move my life down south. I have no one down there, as all my family and friends are up north. He'd never move because he works down south. It's something I really need to think about."
The 25-year-old beauty also admitted it is difficult for the pair to see each other with her hectic filming schedule.
She shared: "I've only seen him for one night since we got back, and now I won't see him again for two weeks. I'm not used to seeing him that much so it's not that bad."
When asked about their relationship, she added: "We need to spend more time together to be able to say things are amazing. But it's fine."

Jacqueline Jossa will ‘never forgive’ Dan Osborne over pregnancy comments


Jacqueline Jossa will never forgive Dan Osborne for calling her pregnancy a "mistake".
The former 'Only Way Is Essex' star was slammed earlier this year when recordings of him making threats towards ex-girlfriend Megan Tomlin - the mother of his 18-month-old son Teddy - were made public, and though the 'EastEnders' star thought his comments were "disgusting", she insists she never considered ending their relationship.
Jacqueline - who has four-month-old daughter Ella with Dan - said: "I listened to them and I was completely shocked by what I heard - I thought it was disgusting but it's something we've worked through as a couple.
"Out of all the things Daniel said on those tapes, [saying my pregnancy was a mistake] was the thing that upset me the most. It caused a lot of arguments between us but he explained that he was only saying what he had to in order to see Teddy.
"I don't think I'll ever forgive him for what he said but at least I understand his reasons why. Daniel and I are a family now, so it didn't cross my mind to end the relationship."
And the couple believe the scandal has made their relationship even stronger.
Jacqueline said: "If we can get through something like that, we can get through anything.
"The best thing to come out of this situation is that Daniel now knows that if he's honest with me we can work any problem out together."
Dan added to OK! magazine: "Nothing like that is ever going to happen again. I'm so grateful to Jacqui for sticking by me."

Michelle Keegan brought to tears by florist


Michelle Keegan's florist brought her to tears.
Steve Betts from Urban Design Flowers, Birmingham has revealed he left the 'Ordinary Lies' beauty in tears ahead of her recent wedding to 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Mark Wright.
Steve told the Birmingham Mail newspaper: "She was just absolutely amazed with her flowers, she was in tears.
"They're both lovely people. Mark is a really genuine, down-to-earth guy and it's the same with Michelle. We met their family and they were the same."
Meanwhile, the 28-year-old beauty previously revealed she wanted a white flower theme as her and Mark tied the knot.
She gushed: "I've been looking at pictures online and on Pinterest and I think the contrast between the white flowers and the black suits is something that works really well. Keep it simple - the best advice I can give!"
The final design included no less than 22 12-foot "flower trees", which lined St Mary's Hall in Suffolk, as well as a beautiful bouquet for the bride.
And Michelle recently admitted the flowers were one of the most important parts of her big day.
She added: "I think they play a massive part and it's what people remember.
"When you walk in the room and you see flowers I think that's the wow factor of any wedding. And it makes a church look more like a wedding venue rather than just a church. So for me, they are really important."

Davina McCall’s tough workout


Davina McCall has "never experienced pain" like her latest abs workout.
The 47-year-old presenter has again teamed with her personal trainer Ed Lumsden for fitness DVD 'Davina 7 Minute Fit: Part Two', and though she was initially "dubious" as to whether the short routines would be effective, she is thrilled by the results she's achieved.
Davina - whose new DVD will retail exclusively through QVC - said: "I was a bit dubious that 7 minutes would work at first but Ed is very strict with me on technique. We all have issues with our tummy region and this abs session is a killer. I've never experienced pain like it. But once you've advanced through it you can do another seven minutes and once you know it, you've done 14 minutes. I can do a 28 minutes now."
And the 'Million Pound Drop' star - who launched the DVD by leading a workout in Chiswick Park today (07.07.15) - feels more confident when she is feeling fit.
She added: "I love that when you work out and get fit, there's a confidence that comes within."
Davina McCall's 'Davina 7 Minute Fit: Part Two' including six bonus workouts and 19 recipes is available from QVC from 8 July for £17.48.

Nick Grimshaw dating Michael Mayren?


Nick Grimshaw is "going to be in a relationship soon" with Michael Mayren.
The 30-year-old 'The X Factor' judge has been spending a lot of time with the photographer and friends think the pair are close to confirming they have become romantically involved.
A source close to Grimmy told The Sun newspaper: "Nick and Michael started off as mates but things have been developing lately.
"They have loads in common and have been hanging out a lot. After spending much of Glastonbury in each other's company they celebrated Michael's birthday with a trip to the nearby Babington House hotel. It's not official yet but all their pals think they're going to be in a relationship soon."
The BBC Radio 1 DJ's best friend Collette Cooper has already given the pair her seal of approval in a gushing post on Instagram.
Alongside a picture of Nick and Michael with model Daisy Lowe, she wrote: "Awww 🙂 So happy for u both #Love Wins (sic)".
However, while friends seem to think there's something more than friendship with Grimmy and Michael's relationship, Nick's spokesman has denied the boys are together.
The spokesman said: "They are just friends."
Grimmy was secretly dating Italian fashion stylist Nicco Torelli two years ago, but their romance soon fizzled out.
