Pam St. Clement went ‘ballistic’ at railway worker


Pam St. Clement went "ballistic" at a railway worker who joked that he thought she was dead.
The former 'EastEnders' actress reportedly told the Chiltern Railways employee to "f**k off" after he jokingly claimed he thought she was dead because her character Pat Butcher was killed off by bosses of the BBC One soap in 2012.
He said: "Pat Butcher? I thought you were dead."
The 73-year-old actress was apparently in no mood for jokes as she's said to have looked "disgusted" at the joke and started shouting at the man, who is believed to be a big fan of both her and 'EastEnders'.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "He obviously meant absolutely nothing by it. I'd have thought that she got called Pat all the time to be honest, she was on the telly for years.
"She needs to calm down a bit, maybe she'd had a long day - but the poor guy who asked her looked pretty upset, I thought he might cry."
It's since been revealed the man in question is "well known" for being chatty and friendly with customers but is sorry if he offended the legendary actress.
Chad Collins - who is head of stations at Chiltern Railways - said: "We are aware of this event and have spoken to the member of staff, who is well known for his positive interaction with our regular commuters.
"Clearly, on this occasion, his comment was misjudged and we apologise for the offence caused."
Pam has previously confessed she felt let down by bosses of the soap after they told her Pat was going to be killed off.
She said: "It was very, very difficult. I was saying goodbye to a character I'd inhabited for almost 26 years and, while I had chosen to leave 'EastEnders', I didn't want Pat to die."

Brian Belo quits Big Brother


Brian Belo has left the 'Big Brother' house.
The 27-year-old star - who won the 2007 series of the reality show - entered the house last week as part of the current 'Timebomb' series' Time Warp twist but has now decided to walk out.
A spokesperson for the Channel 5 show, said: "Brian Belo has left the 'Big Brother' house.
"Watch 'Big Brother' tonight at 10pm to find out more details."
Although it's yet to be revealed what caused the legendary former contestant to abandon his latest stint in the house, he did threaten to leave last week after blasting fellow new arrival Helen Wood and her partner in crime Marc O'Neill for being "bullies".
Helen - who won the show last year and is famous for having slept with footballer Wayne Rooney - later hit back at Brian in a newspaper column she wrote from inside the house.
She ranted: "He's thrown shoes, banged walls, been aggressive verbally, the guy's lost his hinges.
"He's living in the past and 'Big Brother is literally his life, I mean c'mon, I'm a massive fan and will never forget it, but a tattoo as a memorial?! Chill out, Bri."
Following the news Brian has left the house, fans have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment.
Sarah Greenwood - whose Twitter handle is @daveonbb - wrote: "@chrisrwright @brian_belo I'm worried about him. For someone who loves the show so much to leave? thats a big deal. Helen is a satan. (sic)"
@GabbygalEvs replied, saying: "@chrisrwright @davonneonbb @brian_belo poor brian hes a nice bloke must have been hard-they wont do anything to upset their precious helen (sic)."

Stephen Mulhern agrees BGMT deal


Stephen Mulhern has signed on for another series of 'Britain's Got More Talent'.
The 38-year-old presenter has agreed a deal with show boss Simon Cowell to return to the spin-off show and thinks the discussion was done early because the music mogul was so amused by the "controversy" the magician caused when he compared Amanda Holden to cosmetic surgery addict Jocelyn Wildenstein.
He said: "I'm all signed up for year 10. It's all sorted. I had an hour-and-a-half meeting with Simon last week and you never get that -- you get ten minutes if you're lucky!
"That joke I did with Amanda, that went down like a sack of s**t. But Simon does love a bit of controversy.
"If you see a clip of it when it actually went out, he was like a kid in the sweet shop."
Stephen also admitted he had doubts about making the joke because main show presenter Ant McPartlin warned him against it - but co-host Declan Donnelly told him to go for it.
He said: "So I said to Ant, 'Do you think I should do it?' and he said, 'No, don't do it, seriously, don't do it.' And I went to Dec and he said, 'Do it', so then we were split. When I did it live, I had that feeling of, 'Oh my God!' but it was too late. Afterwards I said I was sorry."

Graham Norton wants to ‘live alone’


Graham Norton would "prefer to live alone" than with incorrectly folded towels.
The 52-year-old chat show host - who was dating music marketing consultant Andrew Smith up until recently - has claimed that he's still single due to being too "fussy".
Graham said: "You have your own rules as you get older. I would prefer to live alone for the rest of my life rather than live with towels that were folded incorrectly. Petty is important. That's why marriages break up. Marriages don't break up because of big things."
"The older you get, the less right you have to be fussy and yet the older you get the fussier you become, so oddly when your standards should be dropping you find them getting higher."
The 'Graham Norton Show' host - who also revealed that he's ready to retire soon - went on to confess that another reason he's not in a relationship is that he's scared of being "heartbroken again", like he was with his American ex-boyfriend Kristian Seeber, who he split with in 2006.
Speaking at the Times+ talk event at London's Palace Theatre, the BBC Radio 2 DJ added: "You see younger friends starting relationships and you know how that story ends. You just sit there and wait for the end. When you're young if you meet a partner and they're cheating on someone to be with you but then they go with you, you think, 'That's great.'
"But of course as older people we know they then cheat on you. So I'm careful. Why do you want to be heartbroken again because if you keep being heartbroken you're a moron."

Niall Horan watches Geordie Shore


Niall Horan watches 'Geordie Shore'.
The One Direction heartthrob has let slip his guilty pleasure after posting a video on his Instagram account of an episode of the MTV reality show playing on a laptop.
Niall revealed he and members of the group's band were catching up on the latest series of the show while taking some time out from their busy touring schedule.
Referring to 'Geordie Shore' cast member Scott 'Scotty T' Tomlin, he wrote: "Watching Geordie shore with @jonshone @thedanrichards and @sandybeales .... Always guaranteed a good laugh out of Scotty T ! #besttourbusever (sic)."
The 21-year-old star's confession comes after he was reported to have secretly dated Scotty's fellow reality TV star and 'Made In Chelsea' beauty Louise Thompson in 2013.
A source said at the time: "Louise has been dating Niall - they've seen each other lots and talk all the time. But it suited both of them for their nights together to be secret. He'll sneak her into his house in north London, often when it's dark.
"She makes sure she doesn't do anything around Chelsea to try and keep the romance away from the prying eyes of her co-stars on the show."
Louise, 25, appeared to confirm the romance when she confessed to her co-star and boyfriend at the time, Andy Jordan, that she'd cheated on him.
Andy later addressed the issue, saying: "I'm pretty annoyed with Niall. He sends a car to take my girlfriend back to his place? What am I supposed to do? ... I'd love to ask Niall exactly what happened and why he did it."

Kym Marsh sells house


Kym Marsh has sold her house after slashing the price.
The 'Coronation Street' actress has been trying to sell the five-bedroom house, which she shared with ex-husband Jamie Lomas, for the past two years, and was eventually forced to reduce the asking price by £110,000 in order to shift the pad.
The mansion, situated in the town of Worsley in Greater Manchester, was originally on the market for £650,000 but the 40-year-old star was forced to cut the price six times before it was eventually snapped up by buyers who paid £539,950 for the family home.
Kym - who plays Michelle Connor in the ITV soap - split from Jamie back in 2013 and had been hoping to sell their home in order to "start a new life" with her fiancé Dan Hooper, although their relationship has also recently ended.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "She wanted to sell the house to start a new life with Dan. Now they've split, she manages to flog it."
Meanwhile, the star recently jetted off to Spain with her parents, son David and she and Jamie's daughter Polly to "de-stress" following her latest break-up.
She said: "I needed to get away from the stress and recharge my batteries after breaking up with Dan. It's a difficult time when you split from someone, it's hard for everyone concerned and our families too. It's been a stressful few weeks but I'm taking care of myself and de-stressing as I begin the final year of my thirties."

Graham Norton is ready to retire


Graham Norton is ready to retire from TV work.
The 52-year-old presenter's BBC contract expires next year and he's revealed his determination to go out while at the top of his game - and not when he's having to beg people to appear on his chat show.
Asked if he is thinking about retiring, Graham said: "Yes. You want to get out while people are still watching.
"I love doing TV, but it never gets easier. That does wear you down."
Although Graham insisted he has no immediate plans to walk away from presenting, he admitted it's something he's already given some thought to.
He told The Sun newspaper: "We've been working to being on this primetime slot. No one wants to inch backwards where you're going, 'Yes, the cast of Towie can come on'.
"It's about retiring when on top. I'm not jumping tomorrow, but it's in my head."
Meanwhile, Graham also revealed he's determined to leave the business at an age that allows him to enjoy his post-work life.
Speaking at the Times+ talk event at London's Palace Theatre, he reflected: "You want to get out while you can still enjoy your life.
"Neighbours of mine went on a round-the-world trip when they retired. They had to be airlifted three times because they were too old. I don't want to be them. You don't want to be thinking, 'I wish I'd stopped sooner'."

Stephen Mulhern suspended from The Magic Circle


Stephen Mulhern has been suspended from The Magic Circle.
The 'Britain's Got More Talent' presenter was stripped of his credentials by the magicians' organisation for showing the secrets of one trick on a kids TV show in a bid to encourage more young people to follow in his footsteps.
He said: "You have to be 18 to join the Magic Circle but at 17 I was told I could join and I thought it was amazing.
"I was doing a kids TV show called 'Finger Tips' with Fearne Cotton. I think if you don't show kids how to do a trick then you'll never get a new breed of magicians, so I suggested we teach a new trick on the show.
"The trick was to put a box on your head and turn this ratchet so it looks like your head is spinning, so I did it on Fearne, and then showed them how to make it.
"Well, The Magic Circle deemed it too good to reveal, so they suspended me."
Though Stephen eventually had is membership reinstated, he continues to run into trouble with the organisation as the show is regularly repeated.
He told heat magazine: "I got back into The Magic Circle, but CITV started repeating the show.
"Every time they repeat it, I get suspended. I'm suspended [at the moment]. It's ridiculous. You couldn't write it."

Gemma Collins wants to be Britain’s answer to Oprah


Gemma Collins wants to be "the UK's next Oprah".
The 34-year-old reality star is reportedly not upset about her recent suspension from 'The Only Way is Essex' as she is ready to move on to bigger and better things and wants to be Britain's answer to US talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
A source said: "She's told friends she's ready to quit for good. She wants to work on other ventures. She'd love to get a talk show and thinks she could be the UK's next Oprah."
Gemma was reportedly suspended as she was unhappy at being portrayed a "diva and difficult" and always the subject of confrontational storylines, so she is now keen to get away from the "tense atmosphere" on the show.
The source added: "Gemma feels everyone is against her. She just wants a fresh start away from the tense atmosphere of the show."
And while she isn't tied to 'TOWIE', Gemma is keen to focus on herself.
The source added to Closer magazine: "Gemma feels upset that she's still single and is desperate to settle down and start a family, but says the guys she's meeting aren't right.
"She's also struggling to stick to her diet and exercise regime - she wants to be a size 16 for the summer but she's still an 18.
"She's hoping with more time on her hands she can focus on overhauling her body and finding the man of her dreams."
