Louise Hazel ‘reeling’ from The Jump defeat


Louise Hazel is "still reeling" from losing to Joey Essex on 'The Jump'.
The 29-year-old heptathlete finished second to the former 'The Only Way is Essex' star on the TV series - which sees celebrities try to master several winter sports - after his "insane" 17.5-metre ski jump which she is still struggling to come to terms with.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she joked: "I was 100 per cent out of my comfort zone on the show but I still can't comprehend how I came second to Joey Essex?
"I'm the competitive one, the Olympian, there was myself, Mike Tindall, as you'd expect, and Joey Essex in the final.
"I still can't comprehend how we let him beat us and we're still both reeling from it now.
"You've got to hand it to him though, he jumped the biggest on the day.
"I was gob smacked. I stood at the bottom of the piste literally open-mouthed. I was like, 'What did I just witness?' It was insane but it was brilliant at the same time.
"It just goes to show you don't have to have years of experience with skiing like you do with athletics."
The athlete - who competed for Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympic Games and won a gold medal in the heptathlon at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi - also admitted she thought some of the male competitors in the show should've mustered up the courage to take on the biggest ski jump.
She added: "I'm disappointed that none of the guys went off the big jump. This is 'The Jump', it's not called 'The Plop'.
"We have to go for the big one and although I did come second in the show I can honestly say I've got no regrets.
"I know that Mike went off the big one in training and Joey hadn't actually done the big one at all. I felt I left Austria having achieved something even though it wasn't like the gold medal."
Following 'The Jump', Louise is currently supporting Fairtrade Fortnight, which runs until Sunday (08.03.15).
This year, The Fairtrade Foundation is calling on the British public to choose products on their shopping list that change lives.

Holly Willoughby returns to Celebrity Juice this month


Holly Willoughby is to return to 'Celebrity Juice' this month.
The 34-year-old star is set to reclaim her place as a team captain on the ITV2 panel show later this month after taking time off to have her and husband Dan Baldwin's third child, son Chester.
The 'This Morning' host was replaced by TV chef Gino D'Acampo during her absence and he will now remain on the show hosted by funnyman Keith Lemon as a panellist.
Holly said of her return: "I'm so excited to be back and I cannot wait to see the whole 'Celebrity Juice' gang again.
"Strangely I've missed that strawberry blonde man [Keith] and it's great that Gino is staying too - it's going to be fun!"
Gino - who will join Keith, Holly and Holly's fellow team captain Fearne Cotton on series 13 show - is thrilled to have been asked to stay on.
He said: "It's fantastic to be back for another series of 'Celebrity Juice'.
"I can't wait to get started - and this time I'm going to play by Gino's rules..."
Meanwhile, Fearne announced last week that she's expecting her second child with husband Rex Wood and is to leave her job as a presenter on BBC Radio 1 after 10 years.

Julian Fellowes on the end of ‘Downton Abbey’


Julian Fellowes has no say in how 'Downton Abbey' will end.
The series creator has confessed any decisions regarding the finale of the popular ITV period drama are out of his control and lie in the hands of the show's owners, NBC Universal.
He told The New York Times newspaper: "It's not really my decision. I don't own 'Downton Abbey' now.
"NBC Universal [which owns Carnival Films] owns Downton Abbey. So I could walk away. But I wouldn't walk away. It's too much my baby."
The 65-year-old screenwriter claims that although he "can't immediately" say when Downton will end, he is also "not a believer" in keeping shows going longer than they need to.
While a sixth season of the drama is set to air later this year, Julian added he can't see the 20th century set drama continuing past World War Two, as it would be a "different series" with aged characters.
He said: "Maybe people would say, 'Oh my God, that's baby George, grown up!' But I don't think it would be continuous, with Michelle Dockery with her hair covered with talcum powder."
However, fans will be pleased to hear rumours that Dame Maggie Smith - who plays the Dowager Countess of Grantham - was planning to exit the show have been quashed by a spokesperson for the 80-year-old actress.
Her representative said in a statement: "[Smith] has always been on the record as saying she'll be with the show for as long as the show runs."

Suzanne Shaw is pregnant


Suzanne Shaw is pregnant.
The former 'Dancing on Ice' contestant and Hear'Say singer took to her Twitter account this morning (04.03.15) to unveil a video of her surprising her fiance Sam Greenfield with a positive pregnancy test before Valentine's Day (14.02.15).
Alongside the video, she wrote: "So here's our news... This what me and @SamJGreenfield are up to next!!!!! (sic)."
The blonde beauty had her husband to be - whom she got engaged to last summer after a year of dating - read a poem she'd written before instructing him to open a box with the pregnancy test inside.
Sam read: "It's nearly Valentine's Day and it's really quite silly, my feelings for you are switching around willy-nilly. I'm so happy, so happy, then I feel sad. I'm gloomy, I'm joyful ... Oh crap, this is bad.
"My body is clammy, then I'm in a deep sweat. Sometimes I'm giddy, sometimes I fret. I'm looking for comfort deep in the fridge, recently I wanted to jump off a bridge.
"What are the reasons for all of the above, Sam I really do wish you the best of luck!
"Happy Valentines, I love you."
The 33-year-old star - who was previously married to TV presenter Jason King - also revealed the news to her and her former boyfriend Darren Day's 10-year-old son Corey in the video.
Meanwhile, Suzanne claimed at the time of her engagement to businessman Sam that she finally felt as though she'd met her soulmate.
She said: "He is everything I've ever wanted in a man - strong, protective, sensible, intelligent, affectionate, good-looking. He ticks all the boxes. I now understand the term 'my other half'."

Sir Roger Moore reprises role as James Bond for Comic Relief


Sir Roger Moore is to reprise his role as James Bond in a sketch for Comic Relief.
The 87-year-old actor is to join the current star of the spy films, Daniel Craig, in a "special one-off sketch" to be broadcast as part of Red Nose Day on March 13.
Roger took to his Twitter page to reveal the exciting news, saying: "I'll tell you a secret ... Daniel Craig is not the only 007 in the Comic Relief sketch. #Backasbond (sic)."
The 'Spy Who Loved Me' star confessed he is to reprise his role as the British secret agent after it was reported Craig - who is currently filming James Bond film 'Spectre' in Rome - will feature in 'Face the Funny', Comic Relief's first charity show to be broadcast live from the London Palladium.
Moore first revealed he would be taking part in this year's fundraising activities in February but has only just confirmed he will be revisiting his most famous role.
Writing on Twitter last month, he said: "I'm filming next Wednesday. #ComicRelief (sic)"
He later added: "Lovely time filming for #ComicRelief Will be part of Red Nose Day on BBC."
Meanwhile, it is the second time Craig, 47, has appeared in a skit for the charity, having previously starred alongside comedienne Catherine Tate in 2009 as she played a character named Elaine Figgis who was dating a spy played by the actor.
Other sketches announced for this year's show include Rowan Atkinson's return as Mr. Bean, Dawn French in 'The Vicar of Dibley' and highlights from Peter Kay's 'Phoenix Nights' live show.

Dan Osborne’s ex-girlfriend denies leaking tape


Dan Osborne's ex-girlfriend has denied claims she leaked a tape in which he is allegedly heard threatening to stab her.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star's former girlfriend Megan Tomlin - with whom he has 15-month-old son Teddy - has spoken out to insist she wasn't responsible for selling or leaking the recording.
She said: "No, I didn't leak the tape. I'm looking into how it's got so much media attention. The police have it, obviously, and I have been accused of selling it. I didn't."
The tape - which is said to have been made last year - reportedly features Dan telling Megan he'll stab her if she sleeps with another man despite them having been broken up for a number of months at the time.
He then goes on to call her "dirty" and tells her to "go f**k" herself before appearing to deny his relationship with 'EastEnders' actress Jacqueline Jossa - who gave birth to their daughter Ella just last month.
Dan, 23, has now been suspended from TOWIE while ITVBe bosses discuss the matter with him.
However, after an investigation into historic domestic abuse claims was opened by Essex Police last month, they have now confirmed no further action is to be taken against the star.
Meanwhile, Megan claims she hasn't been in contact with her former flame since the tape was leaked and insists she has no interest in splitting him and Jacqueline, 22, up.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "It hasn't been a nice experience. I haven't spoken to him. We've had no contact.
"It's been a little while now. He's not seen Teddy as much but he's in his routine.
"I've had a lot of support from family and friends. It is a private situation. I've got family and friends who are probably trying to defend me but what's been written hasn't come from me.
"If I was going to ruin it [his relationship] I would have come out a long time ago."

Sam Faiers dating property developer


Sam Faiers has found love again following her split from Joey Essex.
The 24-year-old beauty - who dated her 'The Only Way Is Essex' co-star on and off from 2012 to autumn 2014 - has reportedly moved on from Joey, 24, with "more mature" property developer Paul Day after meeting him in a restaurant in Chigwell, Essex, last November.
Sam is already said to be falling for the 26 year old after jetting off with him to Dubai and has even invited him to attend her sister Billie's wedding to Greg Shepherd with her later this year.
A source said: "Sam is head-over-heels in love with Paul. He's shy, not a big drinker and is not on any social media. Paul is successful in his own right and she feels like he is more mature than Joey."
The reality TV star - who starred on the ITVBe show until last year - is said to have been keeping her relationship "under wraps" to help Paul adapt to his new life in the spotlight.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "The only reason Sam has been keeping it under wraps for the past three months is because she is worried about how Paul will cope with being flung into the spotlight.
"He is not after her fame. He is just a genuine, down to earth guy."

Rylan Clark asks Gok Wan to be stylist for his wedding


Rylan Clark has asked Gok Wan to be the stylist for his wedding.
The 'Big Brother's Bit On The Side' host is set to tie the knot with fiance Dan Neal and has reportedly asked his 'This Morning' colleague to help him pick out the perfect outfits for their special day.
A source shared: "Rylan has asked Gok Wan to style him and Dan on the big day, as well as pick the bridesmaid's dresses. He loves Gok's ideas and they've been good friends for a while."
The 26-year-old star has asked his fellow 'Celebrity Big Brother' housemate Claire Richards to be his chief bridesmaid and has also invited a number of his famous pals.
The source continued: "When it comes to bridesmaids, Rylan has asked Claire Richards to do the honours and she's over the moon. Rylan and Claire were so close in the 'Big Brother' house, and they've remained really good friends.
"Emma Willis, Tulisa and Katie Price have all confirmed they're coming."
However, it's so far unclear whether Rylan's former 'X Factor' mentor Nicole Scherzinger will be able to attend the ceremony.
The insider added to the Daily Star newspaper: "Nicole has been invited but she never knows what her schedule will look like.
"She's told Rylan she'll do everything she can to make it to the big day."

Michelle Collins wants EastEnders return


Michelle Collins wants her 'EastEnders' character to come back from the dead.
The 52-year-old actress' character Cindy Beale died during childbirth in prison in 1998, but the star is hoping she could be resurrected because the death happened off-screen.
Michelle's comments come after Kathy Beale's recent return to Walford, despite viewers being told in 2006 she was killed in a road accident.
She said: "If Kathy Beale can go back, there's no reason why Cindy can't.
"It hasn't stopped them writing supposedly dead characters back in the past so I'm sure they could make it work. Everyone seems to be coming back from the dead."
The actress left the BBC One soap in 1998, but is now hoping she could return to the show for the aftermath of her on-screen daughter Lucy Beale's death, which featured as the central part of the show's 30th anniversary celebrations last month when her killer was revealed as her half-brother Bobby Beale.
Speaking about the twists, which were broadcast in a week of live episodes, she said: "It's all anyone is talking about. I'd love to go back now. It'd be great for Lucy's mum to make a shocking reappearance."
However, Michelle - who most recently completed a three-year stint in ITV soap 'Coronation Street' as Rovers Return landlady Stella Price - may not have time to film scenes in Albert Square as she admitted she is in talks to star in Hollywood blockbusters.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I'm off to LA for castings but it's all top secret right now."
