Rita Ora’s outfit frustration on The Voice


Rita Ora is annoyed she couldn't wear lots of different outfits on 'The Voice'.
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker - who is a coach on the BBC One talent show - has admitted it "got on her nerves" when she had to wear the same outfit for the first part of the audition process.
She joked: "Well tomorrow night on 'The Voice', you've definitely got an outfit change because you know, it really got on my nerves that I had to wear the same outfit for a few episodes."
The 24-year-old singer has also promised fans that tomorrow's (14.02.15) episode will offer fans a chance to see the "personalities" of the contestants.
She said: "This time we really get to meet the contestants more and we start training with them and you start to learn about their personalities and you see what their traits are and what makes them different and why we chose them."
Performers appearing on tomorrow's show include Damian Dalton Smith - the brother of 'Cilla' star Sheridan Smith - and spoken-word poet Lara Lee.
Speaking about Lara, the coach - who is joined on the panel by Sir Tom Jones, Ricky Wilson and will.i.am - told 'The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw': "There's a poet on... [who] almost has that really kind of urban poetic vibe.
"It's still very R&B and very soothing to the ears actually. It's a really nice way of being poetic and still using music."

Bear Grylls: I don’t tell my wife about eating poo


Bear Grylls doesn't tell his wife when he's eaten poo at work in case she refuses to kiss him.
The 'Mission Survive' star has become famous for drinking his own urine and eating animal excrement on his survival programmes but admits he doesn't tell his wife Shara about the strange things he consumes as it puts her off being affectionate with him.
Asked if she's ever had to leave the room while watching his shows, he exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Yeah, there have definitely been a few moments where I've gone, 'Oh, let's see what's on the other channel'. I've learnt not to tell her a huge amount of stuff on that side of things. She goes, 'Do you eat anything weird when you're away?' And I go, 'No [shakes head]'. So yeah, I work on minimal information otherwise I'd never get kissed!"
The 40-year-old adventurer admits it's difficult being away from Shara and their sons Jesse, Huckleberry and Marmaduke when he's away filming in remote locations and claims he avoids celebrity events in a bid to keep their lives as normal as possible.
Speaking about what he misses the most when he's away from home, Bear explained: "Just, you know, I've got three young boys who are a huge part of my life and the hardest part of me being away a lot but we're pretty disciplined now about how we film. We film parts, get in, get back home, say no to whatever showbizzy stuff surrounds work and just focus on filming, getting home and being with my family."
And although Bear has challenged eight celebrities to conquer their fears for his new ITV show, he insists he has no plans to swap scaling waterfalls and eating bugs for learning to jive on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
Quizzed on whether he'd ever take part in any reality TV shows, he said: "It's always important to get out of your comfort zone but I'm not going to be doing any of those things imminently, no. We're so busy with our stuff and love what we do."
'Mission Survive' kicks off on Friday February 20 at 9pm on ITV.

Katie Price: Katie Hopkins is ‘disgusting human being’


Katie Price thinks Katie Hopkins is a "disgusting human being".
The 36-year-old star - who starred alongside the outspoken journalist on 'Celebrity Big Brother' - said she would be "ashamed" if Katie was her daughter.
When asked how things were between them since they left the house, she said: "What I will say about her is that she's a disgusting human being. She really is. I went in the house wanting to like her because I thought I might be able to have banter with her because I thought she looked like she could be quite funny. But I did a full circle with her...
"I am confused as to who she is. She has got this soft side, but a lot of it is the nasty side... If I was her mum and dad I'd be ashamed of her because I think her attitude is disgusting. She's got no respect for anyone."
Meanwhile, the former glamour model - who eventually went on to win the Channel 5 show - also revealed it was the 40-year-old former 'The Apprentice' contestant who started most of the arguments during the show.
Speaking on ITV's This Morning, she added: "Katie would always start the arguments and I'm sure he was entertaining to watch, but those two [Katie and Perez Hilton] argued all the time and it just got boring in the end because it was the same old thing."

Michelle Keegan having Dubai hen party


Michelle Keegan is throwing her hen party in Dubai.
The former 'Coronation Street' star is set to tie the knot with fiance Mark Wright, 28, later this year and it's been reported Michelle will return to the city where he proposed to party as an unmarried woman for the last time.
The 27-year-old actress - who played Tina McIntyre on 'Corrie' until her character was killed off last year - will travel to Dubai with Mark's sister Jess, mum Carol and her former co-star Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster in the ITV soap.
Meanwhile, her former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star beau is believed to be planning a stag do for him and his close pals - including his brother Josh and his best friend and former co-star James 'Arg' Argent - in the US party capital of Las Vegas.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "They will say goodbye to the single life in style."
Michelle recently revealed they'd been finalising some of the details of their upcoming nuptials and had especially enjoyed tasting potential food items for the menu.
She said previously: "We had a meeting with our wedding planner and signed off on some of the fine points of the day. We also did some food tasting which was the BEST part of the day."
The brunette beauty insisted she was still feeling relaxed about her big day but confessed her temper could become frayed as the date gets closer.
She added: "It's all going smoothly and no bridezilla moments yet. Although, ask me a month before and I might not be so chilled. I'm going to have a big hen do with my friends and family but we're still having meetings to decide what to do. The boys have booked their stag already."

Love Island revamped for ITV2


'Love Island' is to return to ITV.
The dating reality show, described as the ultimate game of love, is set to return with a brand new look this summer and will make its debut on ITV2.
ITV's director of digital and acquisitions Angela Jain said: "The all new, revamped and reworked 'Love Island' promises excitement, surprises and fun for ITV2 viewers."
A group of stunning singles will travel to a sun soaked island and live like celebrities in a posh villa for a summer of passion and romance while viewers at home watch their every move.
The audience at home will have the power to decide which singles get to stay and who is to take the first flight home each week until just one couple remains, winning a huge cash prize.
ITV Studios creative director Richard Cowles revealed: "Our singles will live like celebrities but have to win the hearts of the public to survive. Will they pursue true love or are they just playing a game? The new look 'Love Island' will decide."
The original 'Love Island' - which aired for two series between 2005 and 2006 - saw twelve single celebrities spend five weeks living on an island in Fiji looking for love with the winning couple receiving a £50,000 prize.
'Celebrity Big Brother' star Calum Best and his love interest Bianca Gascoigne were crowned winners of the second series before the show was axed.

Amanda Holden wants more strippers on Britain’s Got Talent


Amanda Holden wants to see more strippers audition for 'Britain's Got Talent'.
The 43-year-old star - who is a judge on the ITV talent show alongside Simon Cowell, David Walliams and Alesha Dixon - has revealed she'd like to see more people do the full monty on stage.
She said: "I actually quite enjoy it, male or female. When a stripper comes out, it is such a good moment."
However, the blonde beauty claims she's often left disappointed by the contestants who take their clothes off because they're usually not very attractive.
She told The Sun newspaper: "The people we usually have are the ones you want to keep their clothes on."
Amanda also revealed she'd be up for trying the latest beauty fad, which involves shaving your face in order to make your skin look healthier.
She said: "Apparently, it is good for collagen."
Meanwhile, Amanda's colleague Alesha insists she has no plans to reunite with her former Mis-Teeq bandmates as she's busy working on new music of her own, with a single from her new album set for release in June.
She said: "This year I'm focusing on my new album and I have a new single in June.
"I'd love to perform it on the live shows. So no reunion with the girls now.
"Maybe when everything else has gone out of the window.
"Put it this way, when you hear that Mis-Teeq are getting back together, you know things aren't going too well."

Harry Hill filming ‘secret’ new show


Harry Hill is filming the pilot for a "secret" new primetime show.
The 'Stars in Their Eyes' host has revealed he is set to shoot the first episode of a new programme next month in the hope that ITV bosses will commission a full series.
He said: "It's a secret because if I tell anyone, then someone will nick the idea.
"We're making a pilot in March and then ITV will decide whether they like it."
The 50-year-old comedian - who presented comedy series 'Harry Hill's TV Burp' from 2001 to 2012 which looked back over the week's best TV moments - has been careful not to create the kind of show he used to "take the p**s out of".
He explained: "I've been saying that I can't do a straightforward presenting job, just reading links and stuff.
"The last thing I want to do is make the kind of show that I used to take the p**s out of."
Following his stint of over a decade on the ITV series, Harry is enjoying not knowing what the future holds for him.
When asked if he would ever consider bringing back 'TV Burp', he told The Sun newspaper: "No! I've done that.
"What I like at the moment is that before I had TV Burp stretching out months in advance on two-year contracts, now I don't know what is going to happen.
"When you are starting out that's the kind of thing that used to scare you.
"Now I am quite enjoying it."

Sammy Winward cried in death scene


Sammy Winward almost ruined her 'Emmerdale' death scene because she was crying so much.
The 29-year-old beauty saw her character Katie Sugden killed off last week and she admits she was unable to stay still during her final scene with on-screen husband Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) because she couldn't hold back her emotions.
She said: "Filming Katie's death with Kelvin broke my heart.
"I was supposed to be dead but we both cried. Kelvin's crying is infectious, and I was lying there thinking, 'This is the saddest thing I've ever heard.'
"After we finished filming the producers came on set, and I tried to give a speech, but I couldn't because I was too sad.
"It was so strange to think that after 13 years, that was the last time I was going to be there."
Despite her tears, Sammy is glad her alter ego has been killed off as she won't be able to explore the possibility of returning to the show in future.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I still don't think it has really sunk in that Katie's dead. But it's probably best that she was killed off. Now I won't be looking over my shoulder all the time thinking: 'What if I went back?' It's a clean cut.
"It still feels like a leap into the unknown but I'm ready for it and I'm excited."
Since filming her final scenes, Sammy has been enjoying spending time with nine-year-old daughter Mia - who she has with former partner David Dunn - and wants something very different when she returns to work.
She said: "Since I left about a month ago I've been enjoying my time off. On soaps, you can only have two weeks off, so having longer with Mia is heavenly.
"I'm looking forward to auditioning again, and seeing what's around the corner. I'd love a role that's completely different to Katie.
"I want to do all sorts -- drama, comedy, any role that comes along and makes me say 'yeah'."

Lucy Watson to compete on reality show?


Lucy Watson has hinted she may be set to compete on a reality show.
The 'Made In Chelsea' star has confessed she's "not opposed" to programmes such as 'Celebrity Big Brother', 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' and 'Strictly Come Dancing' and revealed she'd be up for taking part if she wasn't too busy with other projects at the time.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm not opposed to those shows, I do watch them. It would depend on my situation at the time so watch this space!"
The 23-year-old beauty - who has her own life and style blog - also confessed that while she takes fashion inspiration from a range of different people, she's a fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who founded their own fashion line 'The Row' in 2006, and their looks.
Asked who she looks to for inspiration, she said: "No one in particular, I get inspiration from different people all the time, like when I'm out shopping. I've always been a fan of the Olsen twins' style."
Lucy admitted she likes to take her adorable pooch Digby on the occasional shopping trip but usually leaves him at home to keep her cat Darcy company.
She added: "I sometimes take Digby shopping with me but very rarely because it's not really a place for a dog. I spoil them [Digby and Darcy] with presents, but not too much."
