Lauren Goodger so anxious she worries about dying


Lauren Goodger worries she's "going to die".
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star has opened up about her struggle with anxiety to reveal it's getting worse as she gets older.
She shared: "I've had anxiety since I was little. I'm a worrier and very scared of lots of things. It's funny, as I get older I'm getting more scared of things like flying that never used to bother me. I don't know why. I grew up with dogs and now I'm scared of big dogs. I get scared of situations and think I'm going to die or things are going to happen."
The 28-year-old beauty claimed that although she's had no qualms about going under the knife in the past, she doesn't think she could have any more cosmetic surgery now because of her issues.
She explained to Now magazine: "I had a boob job two years ago, but I don't think I could do that now. When I'm going out I feel like, 'Oh God, I'm really nervous, who's going to be there?' And it's a constant panic. I get nervous at home too - I sleep with the light on in the hallway."

Davina McCall says her husband is ‘very romantic’


Davina McCall says her husband is "very romantic".
The 47-year-old star has revealed her partner of 16 years, Matthew Robertson is "extremely funny" and caring after she caused controversy by claiming women must keep their husbands "satisfied" to stop them from cheating.
Asked what her husband does to please her, she said: "You know what? I'm not going to talk about sex. Poor Matthew, this is enough for him really.
"He is very romantic and he's extremely funny, and if I'm down, he really takes care of me.
"He puts my side of the electric blanket on when it's cold even though he hates the heat and he runs me a bath if he goes up to bed first, he's a nice guy.
"He looks after me really well and I like to think I look after him really well too but not just in the sack ... We care for each other."
However, the 'Long Lost Family' presenter confessed Matthew has "no idea" about her recent comments about their marriage.
She told ITV's 'Loose Women': "He doesn't know. He hasn't read the papers. He doesn't go on Twitter. He doesn't look at my Facebook page.
"He has absolutely no idea this is happening."
The brunette beauty - who has children Chester, Holly and Tilly with Matthew - caused upset when she claimed she only ever wears matching underwear and aims to keep Matthew pleased so he doesn't stray.
She said: "You must keep your husband satisfied in the bedroom department even if you're absolutely exhausted. Otherwise he'll go somewhere else."
And Davina chose to stand by her comments yesterday (01.06.15) but insisted she was taken slightly out of context.
She explained: "My mum said, to keep your man happy, stay intimate ... And every single woman I know feels the same ... Really what my mum was saying, and I also believe, is that if intimacy goes, for months, or a year, then it's super hard to get back and it becomes 'a thing'."

Andy Jordan won’t be on Made in Chelsea LA


Andy Jordan won't take part in the 'Made in Chelsea' Los Angeles spin-off.
The cast of the E4 reality show are set to jet off to California to shoot a special series over the summer, but the 25-year-old singer has revealed he is unable to join his pals because of other work commitments, having also missed out on last year's successful New York spin-off.
Asked if he would be taking part in the series, he exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I am not. Well, as it stands, I might go for a bit but I'm working right now. I missed the New York series. I have to do my other work as well."
Although he won't be able to take part in the series as a whole, he insisted it doesn't mean the end of his time with the show, and he is jealous of his friends who will be heading out to the US.
He continued: "By no means is it the end of 'MIC' for me but it's just very difficult.
"I hope they have the best time ever. I'm jealous."
Ahead of the 100th episode of the London-based show, Andy - who previously dated co-star Louise Thompson - also said the cast will be looking back at their history in a one-off episode, but is unsure whether old 'Made in Chelsea' regulars such as Caggie Dunlop and Hugo Taylor will be returning.
Andy, who was speaking to BANG Showbiz while watching Ariana Grande in the Malibu Rum Suite at The O2 in London, where he was enjoying a Pina Colada, added: "I don't know if anyone's coming back but, you know, it follows what's been going on at the moment. I hope that it embraces all the new characters. I think that there's a show that goes out before where we all talk about the past, which is very funny so I recommend people watching that, but yeah, it's exciting for us."
The news comes after Louise's boyfriend Alik Alfus - whom she met while filming in New York - told her he would be moving back to the US in last night's (01.06.15) episode.

Top Gear’s Hammond and May offered £1M to stick with Top Gear


Richard Hammond and James May have been offered £1 million each to return to 'Top Gear'.
BBC bosses have reportedly offered the presenters the huge sum to "keep the 'Top Gear' flame of inspired puerility alive" after Jeremy Clarkson was sacked earlier this year for punching a producer during a row about a steak.
It's also said to have been revealed that Clarkson will be replaced by a number of guest presenters.
An insider told the Independent newspaper: "The masterplan is to reconfigure the show along the lines of the post-Angus Deayton 'Have I Got News For You', with a different guest hosting each episode.
"They [May and Hammond] must now decide whether to follow their bison-headed Spartacus on to the cross, or soldier bravely. You cannot envy them such a draining internal battle of conscience, and we wish them well with that."
The cryptic message implies that the pair will have to decide whether to remain loyal to their pal Clarkson or to stick with 'Top Gear'
Although Jeremy was axed from his position, the trio reunited for a revamped 'Top Gear Live' world tour, renamed 'Clarkson, Hammond and May Live', where it was hinted they were in talks to make a show to rival 'Top Gear'.
Clarkson previously hinted: "We have had a lot of interest from all around the world in our TV programme and who knows what may happen."

Louis Walsh wanted to quit The X Factor two years ago


Louis Walsh has wanted to leave 'The X Factor' for two years.
The 62-year-old music manager won't be returning to the show after 10 years on the panel and is "delighted" to have the time to focus on managing his new band HomeTown.
He said: "I'm delighted - [managing the band] is all I want to do. I told HomeTown two years ago it was what I wanted to do."
Though Louis has had offers to take part in other reality TV shows, he insists he isn't interested and just wants to enjoy his life.
He said: "I'm going to go travelling. I'm going to see the world. I'm going to enjoy my life.
"I've been asked to do the jungle ['I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!']. I'm not doing the jungle. I want to be a manager."
The Irish star feels much "happier" to be away from the talent contest but doesn't regret any of his time on the show.
He told new! magazine: "I'm more relaxed and I'm happier. But I had a great time doing 'X Factor'. I wouldn't take back one single thing. I made some really good friends.
"I'm still in touch with Simon [Cowell], we're pals, and I spoke to Sharon [Osbourne] earlier. I also text Tulisa and Nicole Scherzinger] all the time and I hear a lot from Gary Barlow."

Vicky Pattison: Me going to rehab is ‘laughable’


Vicky Pattison thinks the idea of her going to rehab is "laughable".
The former 'Geordie Shore' star has spoken out after it was claimed her friends were encouraging her to seek help following an incident in Marbella where the police were called after she was involved in a drunken brawl.
She said: "I spent five years doing 'Geordie Shore' and everyone has seen me drunk and acting daft. If they thought I was going to leave the show and leave that element of myself behind, they are misguided.
"I can go out with the girls and still be a bit silly -- it's not big, it's not clever but it happens to the best of us. I'm only human."
Speaking about her temper, she added: "I can be feisty and I can be fiery, people have seen examples of that.
"But I am not in a position where I need to seek any sort of help for alcohol or temper problems. I find those claims laughable."
The 27-year-old star - who quit the reality show last year - will instead be investigating bust ups and handing out advice herself on new MTV show 'Judge Geordie'.
Vicky told The Sun newspaper: "We see everything -- from feuding best friends and cheating boyfriends to bullying bosses and secret drag queens ... I still don't suffer fools and if someone is being a k**b I will tell them."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty is hoping to impress 'Britain's Got Talent' boss Simon Cowell enough to land a presenting job on one of his shows in the future.
She added: "So I am doing that [working hard] and in a few years' time I will be handing Ant & Dec their P45s. 'The X Factor', Saturday night, that's where I want to be ... Simon may not love 'Geordie Shore' but he loves me. I just need to bump into him at a red carpet event."

Maddie Heath dies on Coronation Street


Maddie Heath was killed off in last night's (01.06.05) episode of 'Coronation Street'.
Fans of the ITV soap were left distraught when young Maddie, who was played by Amy Kelly, failed to recover from the injuries she suffered during last week's dramatic fire and passed away while her girlfriend Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) sobbed by her bedside.
The latest twist adds a new dimension to the ongoing storyline linked to Sophie's father Kevin Webster's girlfriend Jenny Bradley, as Maddie was the only person who knew about her plot to kidnap Kevin's son Jack.
A source shared: "Has Maddie's death given Jenny a second opportunity to carry out her dastardly plan or has Maddie left a big enough clue from the grave to stop the kidnap plot? Only time will tell."
However, the soap's executive producer Stuart Blackburn is hoping the storyline will bring out the best in Sophie, who will be seen struggling with her emotions as she organises Maddie's funeral.
He said: "It's a coming of age story, Sophie is going to cope, she is going to deal with it.
"She will plan the funeral, obviously it's agony for her but it's time both the parents start seeing her as a young woman rather than a girl and that's what this story is about.
"The Websters are right at the heart of that. I have also been banging on for ages about how good Brooke Vincent is, you forget because you just think she's Sophie Webster who's been in it for ages.
"You will see how wonderful she is."
The latest death to rock Weatherfield comes just a week after Kal Nazir, who was played by Jimi Mistry, perished as a result of the same fire in Victoria Court, and Stuart believes they got it right by not killing off even more characters.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I think you can over do it, you can cross a line where it stops being credible and it looks callous with characters."
Amy made her 'Coronation Street' debut in December 2013 as homeless teenager Maddie who fell in love with Sophie after they met at a soup kitchen.
Although Sophie's mother Sally Webster took an instant dislike to Maddie, viewers had seen her accepted as part of the family in recent months.

Simon Cowell ‘shocked and angry’ over BGT dog switch


Simon Cowell has been left 'shocked and angry' after it was discovered 'Britain's Got Talent' winner Jules O'Dwyer used a stunt double for her dog Matisse's final act.
The 55-year-old contestant was crowned queen of the ITV show on sunday (31.05.15) and took home its £250,000 prize after performing an entertaining routine in which she dressed as a policewoman and chased after Matisse when he stole a string of sausages.
However, speaking on ITV's 'Lorraine' the next morning, Jules confessed the stunt in which Matisse was seen climbing across a tightrope was performed by another dog as the pup is "afraid of heights".
The revelation has left viewers reeling and show boss Simon, 55, has called for an investigation into who is responsible for concealing the dog switch.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "He is shocked and angry. He had no idea.
"He wants to know who is responsible. Heads could roll."
Jules has since insisted she didn't mean to "mislead" the public.
She said: "I'm creating a story. It's the magic of the whole act. It's not that we were trying to mislead people, we were trying to entertain.
"Matisse can do all those things. I chose not to do that on the night because I chose to split the act up so as not to over-work my dogs, so every dog can take a role."
The talent show has also issued a statement saying: "The audience had previously seen from Jules' semi-final routine that she works with a second dog Chase alongside Matisse.
"For the final performance, as Jules has said publicly herself, Chase completed the tightrope walking section of the act."

Kym Marsh: Dan Hooper will always be ‘very special’ to me


Kym Marsh says Dan Hooper will always be "very special" to her.
The 'Coronation Street' actress and her fiance are currently on a break from their relationship and while she is still hopeful they can resolve their problems, she will always treasure their time together if they do go their separate ways.
She said: "Dan and I are still talking. Time will tell if we can work things out and at the moment we're both still wearing our engagement rings.
"Hopefully we can sort through our issues but if we don't he'll always be somebody very special to be and vice versa - we have no animosity towards each other and we're both decent people - I adore him."
The 38-year-old actress is thankful for the support of both her and Dan's families.
She added: "Our families have been a great support to us and Dan's mum and dad have been speaking to me, which is great because I have a lot of time for them."
As a result of her personal difficulties, Kym was forced to miss the wedding of her former co-star Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright.
She added to OK! magazine: "They did invite me to their wedding but I didn't go as I wanted to spend time with my family at the moment, what with everything that's going on, but I'm sure Mark and Michelle will understand."
