Danny Dyer regrets Mary Berry incident


Danny Dyer says he didn't mean to manhandle Mary Berry at the TV Choice Awards.
The 'EastEnders' star was accused of accosting the 'Great British Bake Off' judge while drunk at the event last month, but he insists it was blown out of proportion and he "loves" Mary.
Speaking at the Inside Soap Awards at DSTRKT in London on Wednesday night (01.10.14), the 37-year-old told star BANG Showbiz: "People said I accosted her and I was really upset as I love Mary Berry, and everything about her."
Danny - who picked up the Inside Soap gong for Best Actor for his portrayal of Mick Carter - insisted he has smoothed things over with the 79-year-old culinary queen.
He explained: "Me and Mary are sweet, Mary ain't got a problem with me. I think she's lovely and I love her. I respect her and I just wanted to give her a cuddle, that's it."
Although he wouldn't suggest anyone else reaches the same stage of inebriation at such an event, Danny says it was a pleasant surprise the next day when he realised that he had won the award for Best Soap Actor at the TV Choice Awards.
He quipped: "I wouldn't advise anyone to accept an award off your head. It was a nice feeling when I woke up the next morning and there was an award by my bed and I thought, 'I done it!' "

Danny Mac just showers to look sexy


Inside Soap Awards Sexiest Male winner Danny Mac says his beauty secret is just a daily shower.
The 26-year-old actor picked up the highly fought-over gong at the ceremony held at DSTRKT in London on Wednesday night (01.10.14), but despite being so desirable he insists he doesn't spend too much time on his appearance.
Talking to BANG Showbiz, Danny said: "My beauty regime is ... a shower, at least once a day. That's about it really! The girls in make-up do the rest of it."
Although he doesn't pamper himself, the hunk does push himself hard in the gym because his character Dodger Savage has to strip off in the Channel 4 soap a lot.
He revealed: "I have to work out. I don't know [when the producers will ask me to take my top off], It's like, I'm thinking of buying a coffee and Dodger is taking his top off! So I have to go to the gym to give myself half a chance."
Danny finds it hilarious that the show's producers ask him to get his kit off so much during situations which don't necessitate nudity.
When asked if he thinks Dodger takes his clothes off too much, Danny said: "Yes! Too much. I'd like to go and tell them [the producers], look, I'm just not doing it. Not to be a pain in the a**e, but because he doesn't need to be taking his top off there, buying a coffee! Do it later! At least have him sleeping with someone!"
The actor - who has been in 'Hollyoaks' since 2011 - has won the Sexiest Male title for three consecutive years and he is very proud of his victories.
He said: "I'm so proud. It's all a bit of a whirlwind but I'm over the moon! I didn't expect it and I'm so pleased the audience have voted for me and 'Hollyoaks' again and I can't thank them enough."

Robert Pattinson takes out X Factor contestants


Robert Pattinson enjoyed a boozy night with this year's 'X Factor' contestants in Hollywood.
The 'Twilight' star - whose sister Lizzy is a hopeful in the over 25s category - treated the singers to drinks at the Rainbow Lounge on the Sunset Strip following a grueling day of auditions at their mentor Simon Cowell's LA home.
According to The Sun newspaper, Robert, 28, spent a few hundred dollars on beverages for the group - made up of Lizzy, Fleur East, Ben Haenow, Jay James, Helen Fulthorpe and Stevi Ritchie - and refused to let them foot the bill all night.
The hunky actor is also said to have taken a shine to pretty contestant Fleur and was often spotted chatting to her throughout the evening.
A source said: "Lizzy was really hoping she would get to meet up with her brother when she was out in LA, but he has such a hectic schedule.
"After their auditions on Saturday, he got in touch and wanted to take them all out. He bought them Jägerbombs and wouldn't let them put their hands in their pocket all night.
"He spent a lot of time chatting to Fleur. Obviously he was really keen to catch up with Lizzy as well.
"It was one of the highlights of their trip."

Frankie Bridge battles sickness on Strictly Come Dancing


Frankie Bridge has to take motion-sickness tablets before her 'Strictly Come Dancing performances.
The Saturdays singer is feeling stiff and sore, as well as struggling with nausea when professional partner Kevin Clifton is spinning her around, but gruelling rehearsals have left her feeling fitter than ever.
Talking to OK! magazine, she said: "When I'm spinning, I get really bad motion sickness so I'll have to take travel sickness tablets.
"Every part of my body aches but my body feels toned and I feel fitter than ever. With touring on top, this is the most exercise I've ever done so I'm eating what I want."
The brunette beauty is also excited about changing her look on the show every week thanks to a selection of wigs.
She said: "I tried to be different and have long hair last year but it didn't really suit me.
"Everyone changes their hair each week on 'Strictly' but I can't, so the hair and make-up guys were like, 'Oh we have wigs.' I'm never going to get to wear wigs any other time so I might as well give them a go."

Rose Leslie: I was oblivious to Game of Thrones fandom


Rose Leslie was "oblivious" to the 'Game of Thrones' fandom before she started filming scenes for the popular TV show.
The 27-year-old actress has admitted that she had no idea how popular the HBO adaptation of the George R. R. Martin novels was until she attended a Comic Con event to promote GoT.
Talking in the latest issue of InStyle magazine, Rose shared: "I was so naive at first. I was oblivious to how huge the fan base was, so I didn't feel too much pressure. I was shooting my first season in Iceland with a tight crew, so I was cocooned in my bubble on this beautiful landscape with no one else to be seen. And then it hit me at Comic Con, my first big event for the show."
Her on-screen character Ygritte, was killed off the show in July 2014 and Rose has revealed that filming scenes with her co-star Kit Harington (who played Jon Snow) was very "emotional".
She said: "It was hard but I knew from day one that she was going to die because I had read the books. HBO had scheduled that scene so it was my final one to film, which played on my romantic side. It was a very emotional day."

James ‘Arg’ Argent


James 'Arg' Argent admits he has been "cringing" at the footage of him exiting a plane in Ibiza drunk.
The 'TOWIE' star got very intoxicated on a flight from the UK to the Spanish party island and at one stage vomited on his shirt in his seat, as well as puking all over the plane's toilet.
As he was getting off the Easyjet aircraft a fellow passenger recorded him with no shirt on and clumsily trying to zip up his hoodie as he was flanked by three men and one woman and the foursome also had to help him though customs.
Arg has now taken to Twitter to confess his embarrassment about the footage and his actions.
He tweeted: "Cringing at video.In my defense it ended up being 7hr flight & we were all going stir crazy.Been good since then &no partying for me in Ibiza (sic)"
When he landed in Ibiza to shoot scenes for 'The Only Way Is Essex', Arg laid off the booze and spent most of his time working out.
Bosses have been growing so concerned about his recent erratic behaviour they hired a minder to travel everywhere with the cheeky chappie while he has in Ibiza.
They made the decision after the 26-year-old reality TV star was reported missing in August by his mum after he missed a meeting with his agent and was unreachable by phone. Arg eventually contacted his mother to say he was OK and the police search was called off.











Wallis Day ‘misses’ Hollyoaks stars


Wallis Day "misses" her former 'Hollyoaks' co-stars but is pleased she left the show.
The 20-year-old beauty quit her role as Holly Cunningham in the Channel 4 soap last year and while she admitted it was disappointing to depart the programme, she insists her exit came at the "perfect time" in her career.
Speaking at the DISARONNO wears VERSACE launch party at One Mayfair in central London last night (30.09.14), she exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "It was sad to leave but at the end of the day I knew that I had to make it as a career choice.
"I'm not dissing soaps because they're fantastic but I never wanted to be in a soap forever.
"At 'Hollyoaks' because they're so nice I felt so comfortable I could've just done that for years. So I felt like last year was probably the perfect time.
"I wanted to keep the ball rolling, I wanted to travel and do all the things I've done really. So I don't regret leaving but of course I miss them.
"I've been travelling and everything since. It literally hasn't stopped."
Wallis has landed a role in forthcoming film 'The Boy with the Thorn in His Side' and admits she is particularly looking forward to filming some of the upcoming scenes in Liverpool, where 'Hollyoaks' is shot, because she is going to use her spare time to meet up with her former co-stars.
She added: "We're filming some of the scenes for my new film in Liverpool soon and I'm going to go up and spend time with my old directors and the cast. I can't wait to see them all again.
"I'm so excited for it. I'm going to see the lovely Step and some of my other friends from the cast. Hopefully we're going to have a good time.
"It'll be something like a Hollyoaks-style reunion party, yeah."
Several other stars also attended the DISARONNO wears VERSACE launch party at One Mayfair last night including singer and model Leah Weller, rapper Wretch 32, singer Diana Vickers, MTV's Lilah Parsons, TOWIE's Sam Faiers and Made In Chelsea's Louise Thompson and Kimberley Garner.

will.i.am: Cheryl had courage to return to X Factor


will.i.am believes Cheryl Fernandez-Versini showed "courage" to return to 'The X Factor' as a judge.
The Black Eyed Peas star is very proud of his friend - who he has collaborated with on several occasions since 2008 and managed until last October - for having the guts to work on Simon Cowell's pop star search series following her firing from the US version of the show in 2011.
Speaking on Irish TV show 'Xposé' on TV3, will said: "It took a lot of courage, a lot of thick skin. It took balls for her to go back so hats off to her and her strength."

He said: "Kylie is a sweetheart. She's the perfect snuggler. Yeah you just want to like kind of snuggle Kylie."
Kylie will be replaced on 'The Voice' by Rita Ora. She will join the 'Scream & Shout' hitmaker, Sir Tom Jones and Ricky Wilson on the panel.
Meanwhile, will.i.am has revealed he would love to work with U2 after recently meeting frontman Bono but he accepts it's unlikely to happen.
