The Saturdays want Frankie Bridge’s Strictly Come Dancing outfits


The Saturdays want to wear Frankie Bridge's 'Strictly Come Dancing' outfits on tour.
The 'All Fired Up' hitmakers are currently travelling the UK with their Greatest Hits Live! tour and they've confessed they're hoping bandmate Frankie will bring them some of her glitzy outfits from the BBC One celebrity dance contest for them to wear during gigs.
Quizzed on whether they were jealous of Frankie's sequins and sparkles, Mollie King said: "I want her to bring them home after!"
Frankie - who has been paired with professional dancer Kevin Clifton - added: "I might steal some for the tour."
Meanwhile, the brunette beauty has also been speaking about her beauty regime and revealed she once had a disaster just moments before she was scheduled to meet a date.
The mum-of-one explained to new! magazine: "I curled my eyelashes before a date and ended up chopping one off. The lashes just fell on to my cheek. I had to use false eyelashes. It was horrible!"

Claire King to star on ‘Coronation Street’


Former 'Emmerdale' actress Claire King is joining the cast of 'Coronation Street.'
The 51-year-old star has landed the part of former barmaid Erika, who is set to arrive on the cobbles in December as an old friend of Liz McDonald and will cause some trouble for businessman Nick Tilsley, as she immediately sets her sights on him, leading to a fling between the pair.
Speaking about the role, Claire, who also appeared in 'Bad Girls' and was forced to leave the most recent series of 'Celebrity Big Brother' due to illness, said: "I am beyond thrilled to be joining the cast of 'Coronation Street' playing the funny and feisty Erika, who looks certain to ruffle a few feathers once her high heels hit those world famous cobbles!
"A stint in Corrie is one of those ticks on most actor's bucket list of jobs you dream of doing, so I can't wait to start filming in a few weeks time."
Producer Stuart Blackburn added: "Erika is a woman who lives life to the full, Nick doesn't stand a chance once she has set her sights on him, but he's not complaining!
"We are delighted to have Claire on board to play Erika, she is a fabulous actress who will be a great addition to the cast."
Claire is due to appear on the soap for a few weeks in December before her character flies back to Spain at the end of the year.

Gordon Ramsay axed Kitchen Nightmares to save stomach


Gordon Ramsay has axed 'Kitchen Nightmares' for the sake of his stomach.
The TV chef has confessed he's given up the popular series, which sees him visit failing restaurants in a bid to improve them, because his body needs time to recover from all the questionable food he's eaten.
Speaking in a video on the Channel 4 website, he said: "I want a rest. I want my stomach to go through a 12-month period with no ulcers.
"And then I want to go to the toilet once a day, properly, as opposed to four or five times a day once I've had a bad experience in a s**thole selling frozen food that's been defrosted in the microwave for the last 17 minutes, so no, I want to get back to eating normally."
However, despite admitting that he'll be taking at least a year off from the series - which has seen him reinvent restaurants across the globe - he's confessed it could be set to return in the future.
He explained: "I still have that hunger to get those businesses back on the map and I'm still like a little Rottweiler.
"I just want to be led up the front door, let off the lead and then booted in - sniff out the crap, turn the place upside down, give the owners a great shake and then put them back on their feet."
Gordon added: "Let's not say it's going away and finishing forever. It may come back. It depends on my ulcers."
Meanwhile, the final series - 'Costa Del Nightmares' - kicks off on Channel 4 tonight (23.09.14) at 9pm.

Craig Revel Horwood had enough of Judy Murray’s dancing


Craig Revel Horwood says Anton du Beke has his "work cut out for him" after being paired with Judy Murray on 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 49-year-old star - who is a judge on the BBC One celebrity dance contest - has revealed that, from what he's seen, professional dancer Anton has a lot of work to do if he wants to be in with a chance of winning the show with tennis coach Judy.
He said: "Anton, I think, is the perfect person for Judy.
"I mean, I have literally seen 30 seconds of them dancing and, to be honest, that was enough.
"I think Anton really has his work cut out for him."
The Australian-British dancer went on to say that he's unsure as to whether Judy will be good at taking criticism, as coaches are usually the ones giving rather than receiving advice.
He added: "If she can't get used to hearing the truth about her dancing then she's going to have to rethink the entire programme."
Craig also commented on the supposed "curse of Strictly", which has claimed a number of contestants' long term relationships.
Speaking on 'Loose Women', he said: "Well it [dancing] does release a happy endorphin in the brain. I think a lot of people don't have that before Strictly and then when you start exercising, I don't know, the chemistry changes between you."

Courteney Cox: I don’t get recognised enough for Friends


Courteney Cox doesn't think she gets recognised enough for her role in 'Friends'.
The 50-year-old actress starred as clean freak Monica Geller in the long running sitcom and has confessed that despite that being her most iconic role, she sometimes doesn't get recognised as much as she'd like.
Quizzed on whether people still approach her despite it being twenty years since it first aired, she told 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!': "Usually a lot, although sometimes not enough, strangely.
"I was just thinking about this the other day. I went to Turks and Caicos - just a beautiful island. I went there after I had gotten engaged [to Johnny McDaid] and it was for my birthday - that big birthday - and it was such a beautiful place.
"Johnny and I were there and we were having the best time, except after four days you're like, 'It's kind of really quiet here'. There's no wind chimes, there's no music. I mean, it is quiet. No crickets, nothing!"
The 'Cougar Town' star admits that after a few days of relaxation she decided to try to make some holiday pals but struggled until finally a 'Friends' fan recognised her and worked up the courage to approach her.
Courtney continued: "I could not make a friend! I tried so hard! It must have been my hair. No one wanted to talk to me, it was really bad.
"I was like, 'Gosh, Monica! 'Friends'! Nothing?'
"[On the last day] someone swam up to me and said, 'I just want to say I'm a big fan of 'Friends'. Can I get a picture?' I'm like, 'Are you kidding? A picture? We're eating lunch together!'"

Michelle Keegan lands role in new drama


Michelle Keegan has landed a role in 'Ordinary Lies'.
The 27-year-old actress quit her role as 'Coronation Street' barmaid Tina McIntyre earlier this year and was brutally killed off the ITV soap and it's now been revealed she will return to screens in the new BBC One drama.
The brunette beauty will play a receptionist at a car showroom alongside a number of other stars including former 'EastEnders' star Jo Joyner, Sally Lindsay, Jason Manford, Mackenzie Crook and Max Beesley.
The six-part series - which was written by Bafta-winner Danny Brocklehurst - follows the everyday lives of shifty car salesman, played by Manford, Joyner and Crook, and other staff at the firm.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: "The characters are likeable but they don't always tell the truth. Some lies start off huge, others are tiny and grow.
"It shows what happens when the lies people tell to keep their heads above water spin out of control with sometimes tragic, sometimes funny consequences."
Michelle hinted at her role in 'Shameless' and 'The Street' scribe Brocklehurst's new project last month when she revealed she had "an exciting job in the pipeline".

Mario Falcone: I’ve learnt my lesson


Mario Falcone insists he's grown up during his break from 'The Only Way Is Essex'.
The 26-year-old star was suspended from the show earlier this year after being caught taking cocaine and although he's now returned to filming - on the Spanish party island of Ibiza for an upcoming special - he is adamant his wild days are over.
He explained: "The industry we are in and the age I am, you do things that are out of character and very immature and that is part of growing up ... It wasn't a dark place or anything like I have been in the past, it was just stupidity. It is a lesson learned."
Quizzed on what he would do if he was offered drugs in Ibiza, he added: "I will just turn a blind eye, I wouldn't respond to it."
Mario - who was previously engaged to former co-star Lucy Mecklenburgh - admitted he is hoping to find a potential girlfriend on the island as becoming an uncle has made him broody.
He continued: "I'm looking forward to experiencing the old part of the island, the nice part. I might meet a nice girl out here and take her to the nice part, you never know."
He added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Seriously. I never thought I would be broody because I have a godson and stuff, but it is not the same as being an uncle because he is my flesh and blood.
"My sisters and my mum are trying to push me to settle down and have all that. I think I could if I met the right girl."

Rita Ora signs up for The Voice


Rita Ora has signed up to be a judge on 'The Voice'.
The 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker is set to join the BBC One talent show as a mentor for the upcoming fourth series after Kylie Minogue stepped down from the role earlier this year.
Rita said of her excitement at joining returning judges will.i.am, Tom Jones and Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson: "So excited to be part of - and for my team to win - 'The Voice' this series! Let's have some fun will.i.am, Tom and Ricky!
"I'm really looking forward to the blind auditions and spinning in my big red chair. EXCITED!"
Sir Tom Jones, who has been a judge on the show since its first series, is excited to return and find new talent while also getting to know the new addition to the panel.
He said: "I'm really looking forward to coming back to 'The Voice' for season four. Not only do I get to know and work with Rita, I can once again enjoy hearing and seeing the talent that comes from just about every corner of the UK."
Tom's fellow veteran judge, will.i.am, added: "Season four of 'The Voice' is going to be amazing! (Sir) Tom Jones is our rock, Ricky is awesome and it's our pleasure to welcome the very talented Rita Ora. Rita is sweet, spicy and sassy - she's going to be a great addition to the Coaches team."
The original judging panel of the voice included Jessie J and The Script's Danny O'Donoghue, who were replaced by Ricky and Kylie last year.
Meanwhile, Emma Willis and Marvin Humes are to return as hosts when 'The Voice' kicks off in January 2015.

Declan Macey plotting to kill wife, Charity, in Emmerdale


Emmerdale's Declan Macey is ruthlessly and methodically plotting his wife's murder.
The soap character, played by actor Jason Merrells, has been spiking his wife Charity's (Emma Atkins) drinks with pesticide after discovering she's been lying to him about aborting their baby.
And Jason reveals his character feels he's been left with no choice but to seek revenge through murder.
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "When he finds out that she's been lying his whole world falls apart. There's a huge amount of hatred and revenge."
Viewers will be watching with horror this week as Declan whisks Charity away to a remote cottage for a romantic getaway, where the twisted character intends to murder the blonde beauty.
Jason explained: "He's completely tied up in the mother of all pre-nups that he signed on her behalf and it's utterly watertight. She hasn't cheated on him which is the only get-out, so there's nothing he can do.
"In his skewed logic, the only thing he can do is kill her. To him that's his only option.
"In a very ruthless and methodical way, he plots his revenge."
While the shocking scenes may be hard to watch, Jason admits he's enjoyed working on the plot and even compared it to working on a blockbuster.
He added: "Filming this stuff has been really demanding and brilliant to do. We've basically been making a movie together, it's been fantastic to film in this amazing location."
