Big Brother: Jack ‘Pie Face’ McDermott is a virgin


'Big Brother' contestant Jack McDermott is a virgin.
The 23-year-old McDonalds manager - who refers to himself as 'Pie Face' - has confessed that he has never had sex with anyone during a task shown on the Channel 5 reality show last night (14.05.15).
The task involved the housemates being split into a boys team and a girls team, and required them to work out their fellow housemates' pasts.
Big Brother asked the girls team: "Which Housemate says his funniest sex story is that he has never had sex?"
They correctly guessed that it was Jack, leaving him feeling embarrassed.
Jack, who lives in Plymouth, previously ruled out any possibility of him popping his cherry in the house.
When asked about the possibility of romance before entering the Borehamwood compound, Jack told Digital Spy: "I ain't got no time for that. The only thing I love is Plymouth Argyle."
During the same task, Sarah Greenwood and Christian MJC got into an argument when Sarah was revealed to be the housemate whose biggest turn-on is money.
She insisted: "I'm not embarrassed by that whatsoever. I've been brought up to a certain standard, and I am not about to drop that."
Christian - who is an aspiring rapper - argued: "If someone wasn't rich now but has a plan, what would you say to that?"
Sarah replied: "I have never said I am attracted to money. Don't put words in my mouth. I would never expect a man of 18 or 19 to have money and a career."

Kellie Bright: Danny Dyer fights for pink dressing gown


'EastEnders' actress Kellie Bright says it was Danny Dyer who wanted to wear her pink dressing gown on the show.
The Walford hardman has been seen dressed in the baby pink gown in several scenes as Mick Carter while at home above the Queen Vic pub and Kellie - who plays his on-screen wife Linda - has revealed Danny insists on the attire to bosses.
In an interview with Mirror Online, she said: "It's all Danny's idea. Danny fights for that dressing gown. Tooth and nail. He's like, 'I'm not doing a scene without that pink dressing gown,' that kind of thing."
She added: "I know everyone remembers that. It was because it was really early on when Danny put his head out of and he was in my dressing gown. That has stayed as well. We were filming in the dressing gown the other day so it's not going anywhere. I can't imagine him not on the pink dressing gown, can you?"
Kellie insists she and Danny have become "best friends" on the set of the BBC One soap and she couldn't imagine not seeing every day at work.
She said: "Working alongside Danny is definitely one of my career highlights. He has become one of my best friends. It's such an intense working life that you have here - because you work such long hours and you spend more time here than you do with your own family - it's like having another real life. I know that sounds bonkers and it is a bit bonkers, but that is what it's like ... You have good days and you have bad days - if I didn't get on with Danny or he wasn't the person he is, my time here would be completely different. He makes this job really enjoyable for me. He is so generous and such a lovely man."

Louise Thompson plans to ‘sack off’ Made in Chelsea


Louise Thompson wants to leave 'Made in Chelsea' to be with her boyfriend in New York.
The 24-year-old reality star has been dating New Yorker Alik Alfus for a year and has revealed she's willing to quit the reality TV show to spend more time with him.
Louise said: "One day I might sack off England. My boyfriend is from New York and I love that city, so my dream would be to maybe live there at some point.
"I'd like to just go and figure out what I want to do."
The brunette beauty said that while the thought of relocating to the Big Apple is a "scary" prospect, it's also something she finds exciting.
She told The Sun newspaper: "There's something quite scary about that city but I feel that you can do anything there, achieve anything."
Meanwhile, in a recent episode of the E4 reality show, Alik claimed his girlfriend sometimes physically lashes out at him.
He recalled: "I rolled over when we were in bed and crossed over to her side - I think my elbow was resting in the middle of the bed. So she whacked me and told me to move over. All this Louise nonsense; one minute she's so great, the next, she goes off on one."

Linda Robson: It’s fashionable to be older


Linda Robson thinks it's "fashionable to be older".
The 57-year-old actress believes the "tide is changing" in the TV industry, and that's why she's able to hold down two prime-time jobs in ITV's 'Loose Women' and the iconic BBC sitcom 'Birds of a Feather'.
Linda said: "I'm not sure why but it seems fashionable to be older now. Everyone's got a mum, everyone's got a nan - people can all identify. I think people like that they can see their mums or their nans in us, and that's a good thing.
"I had a few years when I was quiet, because nothing was coming in work-wise and then, all of a sudden, it did. Now it's really, really busy. I'm trying to not take on any more work so I can have a holiday with the family."
The 'Birds of a Feather' actress said films like 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel', which features the likes of Dame Judi Dench, 80, and Dame Maggie Smith, also 80, are the reason people want to see older stars on the screen.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I think the tide is changing now, I really do. Films like 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel', with absolutely brilliant people like Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith and Judi Dench, have helped change the perception of older people on TV."

Phillip Schofield defends This Morning naughtiness


Phillip Schofield has told critics of 'This Morning' to "bugger off".
The 53-year-old TV host has hit back at viewers who complained to industry watchdog Ofcom about raunchy elements of the ITV show, such as recent segments about '50 Shades of Grey'-inspired bondage and breast cancer checks.
He said: "Oh Christ, they drive me bloody mad. My Twitter profile now just says: 'If you are pedantic or professionally outraged, jog on'.
"We had a bondage item on a while ago. A woman tweeted me after we done the item saying 'I am absolutely bloody outraged at 'This Morning'. I will never watch again.'
"I said 'Which bit outraged you?' and she said 'I am going to go home this evening and I will watch and then I will let you know'.
"You are cross because somebody else has made you cross but you don't know why. Bugger off."
Phillip also expressed surprise over recent criticism of a feature about breast cancer checks, which he said could help save lives.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We had a breast cancer item on the other day and I could not believe people had complained that we had shown a woman who was checking herself for breast cancer. I was like 'Pull yourselves together. Are you serious?'
"We ended up with countless people who quietly got in touch who said they had found something and said they were going to their doctor.
"Of course the chances are that will turn out to be nothing but if you look at the list over the years that Denise and Dr Chris have saved, it is incredible so I love that."

Adam Woodyatt: I helped engineer Kathy Beale’s comeback


Adam Woodyatt helped engineer Gillian Taylforth's return to 'EastEnders'.
The 46-year-old actor - who plays Ian Beale on the BBC soap - has revealed the crucial role he played in the return of his on-screen mum Kathy Beale.
He revealed: "I gave (Dominic Treadwell Collins, Executive Producer of the show) her mobile number so he could call her without telling her agent! We had to keep it secret...!"
Adam confessed he doesn't know when his co-star will make her eagerly-awaited return to Albert Square, but is looking forward to working with her once again.
He told ITV's 'This Morning': "No idea (when she is returning) and I don't care, I just can't wait until she gets here. Gill is coming back.
"I don't know how Dom is doing it, he hasn't told me. I just can't wait until she does get back, its going to be great working with Gill again."
What's more, Adam described the last 12 months as the "toughest year" of his 30-year association with the programme.
The actor - who played a central role in the Lucy Beale murder storyline - said: "It's been a full on year. It's been the toughest year that I can remember.
"The live week was something else - we all hoped it'd be good, but I don't think we thought we'd get the response that we did get. It was just overwhelming."

Nick Grimshaw would ‘love’ to be X Factor judge


Nick Grimshaw would "love" to be a judge on 'The X Factor'.
The BBC Radio 1 DJ hit the headlines earlier this week when it was revealed he was in advanced talks to join the judging panel, and although he hasn't denied a potential involvement in the ITV singing contest, he insisted it is only "speculation" as nothing has been confirmed.
Speaking about the rumours, he said: "They're nothing but speculation which pretty much everyone's, who has had anything to do with music, names have been involved.
"So there's nothing more to that so far."
The 30-year-old star - who has previously announced his love for the programme on his radio show - admitted he would take the part if it was offered to him, but said he thinks 'Rock DJ' hitmaker Robbie Williams would also be a great judge.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper at the Global Fashion Awards in London, he said: "I would like to do it. I love the show. But loads of people I've read will be really good. Robbie would be great and Simon and Cheryl if they are back.
"I loved Katy Perry too when she was a guest judge and Rita (Ora)."
The much-loved presenter is now bookmakers' favourite to join the judging panel for the show - which will hit screens later this year - with bosses hoping he can attract a younger audience.
A source said: "Grimmy is one of the most well-connected men in showbiz and will make a brilliant judge. It's clear Cowell's hope is that he will attract new viewers and artists to the show.
"He feels fresher and more relevant than some of the previous judges."

Michelle Hardwick promises Emmerdale ‘twists’


Michelle Hardwick has promised "twists and turns" for 'Emmerdale's Vanessa Woodfield.
The 39-year-old actress' alter ego is pregnant but unsure who the father is after sleeping with Adam Barton (Adam Thomas) while on a break from toyboy lover Kirin Kotecha (Adam Fielding) and the blonde beauty says the storyline isn't going to be "straightforward".
She told OK! magazine: "Now she's pregnant and it literally is who's the daddy.
"I might [know who the father is]. It's going to be a bit up in the air but there are a few more twists and turns along the way. It's not as straightforward as it could be, which is great."
Michelle initially expected Vanessa's relationship with Kirin - who is 22 years younger than her character - to be a brief fling but she is delighted with the reaction to the coupling from viewers.
She said: "Initially when they said Vanessa would be going out with a 17 year old, I thought it would only last about three episodes. But it hasn't!
"The viewers really enjoy it and they're invested in them as a couple, which is fantastic.
"But then she had the breast cancer scare - he ran off because he was so young, but they got back together. She's got the all clear now but during that time she slept with Adam Barton."

Ferne McCann had ‘mapped out’ life with Charlie Sims


Ferne McCann thought she had her life "mapped out" with Charlie Sims.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star was dumped on Twitter by her co-star in March and she admits the news came as a shock as she thought they had a long-term future together.
She told Closer magazine: "I thought my life was mapped out.
"Me and Charlie were looking at moving in [together] and I imagined I'd be married by the age of 25 and ready to have kids.
"One night I went to bed, happily in a relationship the next, it was all over - and on social media. It was hard."
The 24-year-old star admits her desire to stay on 'TOWIE' while Charlie wanted to leave caused a huge rift in their relationship, but she also felt their romance had "run its course".
She said: "He wanted to leave the show and I didn't and that did cause a fracture in the relationship.
"I also think it had run its cause and we just wanted different things."
However, Ferne hasn't ruled out a reunion with her former lover in the future.
She admitted: "I have a lot of love for Charlie so I will never say never."
